>It’s clear that the era where any one country has global hegemony should end.

Unipolar worlds are safer than Bipolar. Multipolar is extremely dangerous.

I imagine you didn't know that more people will be killed if the US doesn't have hegemony.

In classic Apple fashion, they fooled people into thinking an integrated GPU is the same as Nvidia.

Gosh I wish I could hire their marketing company.

Unified Memory and Integrated GPU.

Apple is amazing at marketing to make 1990s technology sound cutting edge. I'm sure they change something for plausible deniability, as a nominalist, not even 2 of the same computers are the same.

The wild part is that these are awful and not usable.

Both my fortune 20 company and my buddy got these for LLMs... and the champion/my buddy had the look of shame when it wasnt usable.

Ask any AI, they say Apple has the best marketing of any company in history.

All this tracks. Anyone else getting bombarded with WSJ youtube videos about Apple manufacturing?

Have you looked at Motorola? I'm not sure they have all of those features, but me and you think similarly and when I did research, I ended up choosing their $130 phone for my contractors.

But I main the $900 pixel.

They are so similar its weird, but Motorola was slow with snapchat and the keyboard some time.

To be fair, no one should be using Ubuntu. They are the free CD people from the 2000s. They are the Apple of Linux, marketing wins, but low quality.

They used outdated linux (Debian-family) because its lower cost to maintain.

All around, never use debian-family outside servers. Fedora is the future. Maybe OpenSUSE too. (Note these are not Arch or related to Arch)

After using OpenClaw for 1 week, I'm so extremely bullish.

Buy buy buy buy.

We don't even have enough data centers.

Question for you, that 13t/s, is that pretty solid even with high context/tokens?

I know Apple marketing says 'look at our 20t/s' but they sent less than 40 tokens.

This is not 'running it on our own computers'.

But I like the option to give my data to a rando rather than one of the big 5 US companies that can get sued. At least the rando probably has no idea what to do with 10M of my customer's IP.

Actually... thank you for the links. Unironically.

Go free stuff! But... no one is running 400B models on their computers.

You are just giving them data instead. Its not like China is known to protect IP. Your data is going to be used against you, and we cant use western laws to keep it safe.

OpenAI has done more for society than all academia over the same timespan.

You could probably say the same about various medical devices/medicines. The internet. Chemistry/plastics.

Sociology/psychology is historically unfalsifiable, and mostly useless, those are truly detriments.

quantum physics might be useful, but I think even there, industry will do it better.

If I was in my early 20s, this would be mad respect.

Now that I'm in my 30s and I know PhDs.... They are basically nepo babies who were not good enough for industry.

There must be something missing if they are religious though.

Like some sort of critical thinking isnt there.
