Yeah not really lol.

Only reason to buy this if you want to own your compute.

Experimentation and inference are all going to be cheaper on the cloud

Considering Apple pricing it actually might.

256GB model is $10k and the 512GB version will probably be double

I wonder how much network effects help here.

There's a lot of consumer surplus with the features GitHub offers. I'm sure they can have better pricing tiers to capture the surplus without losing too many users.

Some times I feel like a lot of people in tech independently go through the same things right around the same time with few people writing/sharing about it.

I am also creating this and enjoyed the post and comments all going through the same thing :)

This is a double edged sword for me, I've dabbled with the Antigravity CLI and it is better but I got a lot of LLM use out of google's chaotic decentralized quotas.

gemini-cli had it's own quota, antigravity had it's own quota, and ai studio had it's own free tier quota and I managed to make use of all of them super cheaply.

Now they're finally unifying everything and cutting down, which is less of a cognitive load to keep track of quotas but also fewer benefits

I exclusively use gemini models and this has been my experience.

I mitigate it by creating dense planning docs for everything and executing iteratively.

Lot's of time wasted on procedure unfortunately

Big side effect of these layoffs is that new talent is reluctant to join, even for more pay.

Stability is going to come at a large non-monetary premium these days

Stitch has been very good for me to prototype some designs, and the exporting design feature is great.

But jeez, is it buggy, slow and unintuitive at times.

Complete shift in google's old engineering culture of high quality - they seem to be shipping quickly in favor of stability

The amount of RAM needed for this is crazy to think about. And then there's Youtube...

Silver lining of current RAM prices is that it changes the cost-benefit analysis of improving underlying software which (hopefully) gets implemented in open source.

thank you, will have to check this out

Interesting, my levels have always been chronically low and I feel no effects from daily 5000IU

I tried a 1000 IU vitamin D pills to no avail. Bumped it up to 5000 IU and still saw very marginal bumps in my blood tests

I think I might try daily 10000IU after showing my doctor how little it's moving the needle for me

Not really, this is just effectively a new supply side platform for advertisers. Retail companies will just allocate a percentage of their marketing budget to OAI instead of Google/Meta

I am still surprised many people trust him. The board's (justified) decision to fire him was so awfully executed that it lead to him having even more slack

I've heard it's only on mobile? I was using gemini for work on desktop for at least 6 hours yesterday (definitely over 100 back and forths) for work and did not get hit with any rate limits

Either way, Google's transparency with this is very poor - I saw the limits from a VP's tweet
