100% agree. The mac mini was offered with 8GB for some time as well, and when my dad needed a new desktop, I thought that would be a good option. It was basically unusable. Even when you only have a few finder windows and a few (less than 5) tabs in safari open, you can feel the swap slowing down the system; just opening a folder or a new tab is noticeably slow, opening safari itself takes multiple seconds, and with just that basic usage you can run into the out-of-memory dialogue, something I had never seen before in macOS.
I have no idea how apple can believe that the neo won't damage their brand reputation. They must have optimized something to make 8GB viable.
This is fascinating. I scrolled through that page and immediately felt like something was marketed to me. I actively hated reading this because it felt so much like the tech company's buzzword-filled landing pages that I have come to despise over the course of my career.
But giving the paper to Claude and having a dialogue about it was a very pleasant experience because I could ask questions to focus on the parts that seemed most interesting to me.
Are they? I couldn't find any info about this and my past perception has been that Anthropic has a stronger moral codex than other AI companies, so I would be genuinely interested in where you got this information from.
You clearly didn't read the whole article. He specifically explains multiple options for how you can get any software onto the system you want.
The goal of this project is to provide a platform that regular developers can write apps for and that regular users can understand and be productive on with minimum friction.
Could you explain what you like about it? I feel like I'm missing something. I've listened to half an hour now and there have been a like five minutes of substance, the rest is self-references and jarring editing.
If I listen to a podcast I want to learn something, gain a new perspective, listen to a well-moderated conversation or at least laugh.
This podcast does none of those things. Literally doing nothing and letting my thoughts wander is more interesting than listening to this.
That specific example doesn't seem to be an issue anymore. The Nix Installer creates /nix/store on macOS 13.5 just fine without disabling SIP. You do need admin rights of course.
The discoverability argument is somewhat weak because your browser already stores and probably prefills the username.
About not revealing whether an account exists: A site could always reveal a set number of potentially fake handles.
So say a user has two handles registered, and the set number is ten. If the account exists, the two real handles will be in the list, alongside eight fake ones. If the account doesn't exist, all ten handles will be fake, but it's impossible to tell which case you're observing unless you have the key matching one of those handles.
I don't personally use this method, but it seems to me like this would help with all the cases where you search for something on stackoverflow, use the solution, and 3+ months later you encounter the exact same issue. You remember that you already had this issue, and you remember that you searched on SO and found a solution, but you don't remember what it was.
If you wrote a flash-card and learned it, you'd have that knowledge available immediately.
Or, let's say you're learning a new language/framework that you want to use professionally, but don't use frequently yet. So you start a project in that language/framework, learn some of the things that make it different, and every time something surprised you or you had to search for a solution, you write a flashcard. Then you can learn these aspects separately from having to work on a project, and once you do have a use for it, you have the knowledge available.
I think this could be less likely if you're very specialized, but if you're a consultant or freelancer and have to work with lots of different technologies, locking down the differences and unique aspects for each could save a lot of time.

Is that 180,000 or 1,800,000?
Apart from that, it looks really good! As I understand it, you actually cache all those conversations, right? So basically, it's like mailing-list archives, but for discord and slack; even if the servers go down or get closed or threads are deleted or move somewhere else, the content on your site stays up?
