I also had a bad experience, but I'm willing to throw all that out of the window after seeing that it had 128 unified memory on a CUDA enabled device. This is an AI native dream machine from what I can tell. I'm almost obligated to buy one.

Sadly memory bandwidth, which is the bottleneck for AI, is pretty disappointing.

There's literally no excuse - I'm still baffled.

You mean there's no excuse for cooldowns? Yeah, there is. Security consultants have for years been saying that you need to always keep your dependencies updated. This is often parroted without any context of whether a package needs to be updated or not.

And what's a proper cooldown? 1 day? 3 days? 1 week? 1 month? If you have a vulnerability, now you're exposed during that cooldown period. There's no straight forward or easy answer here.

I am speaking from my own experience here with having to sit in during these discussions where security "advice" is provided to the development team without understanding what it entails or any tradeoffs. I found that keeping things relatively secure is hard work and needs to be a part of culture.


I think the post you're replying to was commenting on "web dev is a culture shock in so many ways", not the concept of cooldowns overall.

> Non-techy consumers may never do it

They will. As some point in the future, people will want everything, they'll prompt full movies because they're bored and want to watch something.


You’re assuming that owning compute will be possible.

It's stuff like this that honestly makes it very hard for me to take anyone working at Meta seriously. How much communication had to happen to enable this feature? It really casts doubt across the organization at multiple levels, don't tell me a single engineer caused this.

I can't take Meta seriously, period.

How many employees were hatetokenmaxxing I wonder

Bitwig and Intellij stand out to me

Yeah Intellij is incredible, and I believe it's Swing. And Eclipse is ambulatory, but the SWT/OSGI frameworks are fighting yesterday's battles. All of this aside, I yet to find this level of IDE/Debugger in any other language.

I'll check out Bitwig.


Let's skip to the part where they put the taxpayer on the hook for a bailout as an industry since they integrated everywhere with big promises

Why is that tinfoil? That's just good business?

what is the value in destroying those relationships? I assume it was acquisition to defend against another company owning a key part of their delivery pipeline, but killing the public product is just bad press.


the relationships and enterprise customers they have are probably wildly blown out of proportion and few if any actually used the product in production.

They can also keep the product running behind the scenes for a select few and just shut down the public facing part


It would be weird if Anthropic were genuinely using it as they say they have been for years but everyone else was a fake customer.


Influencers are getting paid to promote ai for 10s of thousands of USD. This is one the reasons social media has been swamped with it lately.


Yes, some of the latest campaigns:

Anthropic's own talking point guide:

There were earlier initiatives from the industry. This is just what is in the open and does not even include automated LLM "influencers".


OMG ! I've been dealing with one such AI kool aid nut for 6 months now and I can trace a lot of they've done down to specific pointers from that anthropic "champion" playbook.


This! I now have to fight bad tech decisions at my companies because many devs follow influencers.

Look also at the hate spread against UE5… It’s everywhere and half of the arguments are falsehoods made by influencers with no real experience in the industry…
