    Metal, the primary target, on Macs with 96 GB or more. Smaller machines can use SSD streaming. SSD streaming is also needed in order to run very large models such as full GLM 5.x (not Flash) on 128GB systems

Anyone tested token speeds at less than 96gb RAM on apple?

Good Speakers, Oled Screen Good Keyboard, 32GB ram+

That's my 4 minimum requirements for a laptop nowadays. As I don't just work on my laptops, but also listen to music/podcasts and watch video content.

    > Googlebooks are the Google's replacement for Chromebooks, the web-centric computers it launched in 2011 and which run ChromeOS....

    The newer Googlebook range uses more powerful processors than their predecessors, plus a new OS called Googlebook OS that bakes in Google’s Gemini AI – a product the Chocolate Factory is very keen to see succeed as the great AI land grab continues.

    ...If you buy a Chromebook today, updates will end in 2034 eight years into the future

So they have introduced a major change and said any older Chromebooks bought going forward will only get 8. So its not a retrospective reduction for existing customers.

Sounds reasonable.

8 years is still a long time for a cheap Chromebook.

Why? They haven't killed anything, they have reduced support from 10 years to 8.

Chromebooks tend to be cheap relative to other laptops so 8 years isn't bad. Android tablets and Phones costing 2 or 3 times a chrome book have been promised 7 years for Android.

    >Best laptop ever made.

Why do you think that?

Anthropic yesterday: We have perfect AI agents to do everything now, value us at $100 Trillion

Anthropic today: We don't really have AI agents, they are glorified versions of automation scripts and one has broken today. But tomorrow we will have perfect AI agents, so still value us at $100 Trillion.

Yup. They can only offer limited built-in protection due to their revenue source, but important to note that unlike Chrome they don't dictate on what extensions can offer.

So they are practically speaking the only game in town (Brave being the exception on Chrome as they are keeping support for UBlock Origin)

Firefox Nightly on Android also allows desktop extensions to be used.

Yes, no doubt over the years it has not been well run from a business perspective, and it is of note that the browser that was created by it's ex co-founder is found above it in the download charts on app stores.

Mozilla have been terrible at marketing and strategy and innovating technically from a end user experience perspective. With the amount of guaranteed money from the Google deal they had annually, they should have done so much more.

I didn't mean 'no ROI', clearly AI is a productivity boost.

For the AI companies to IPO at the money they want, they have to promise that they are going to be worth many multiples more of that value.

But currently they are spending hundreds of billions and despite this their models are not light years ahead of each other, or of the companies with much lower budgets and compute power.

What they claim they can offer in future profits is subject to considerable debate.

It's in the interests of VC's and their underlying rich investors to hype it ip, IPO and bank the cold hard cash.

That's an edge case is it not?

99% of users don't need to generate virtual card numbers on the fly, so won't be a high priority item.

Convenience.

For a non technical user it is much easier to right click a link (for example a reference in a news article) and choose Split View than arrange two windows (which may involve 2 different monitors).

For a Teams/Zoom screen where you are sharing only one app rather than whole desktop, again split may help.

Also good for mental switching, as you can open a link to the side and either promote to it's own tab/close and carry on with same page rather than have it open separately and break the flow

It's just another tool.

It's a solid sign the numbers are not real...

What Uber and other companies said is that the money they spent didn't generate the expected value they were promised. If it had generated $2 for every $1 spent, then Uber would be spending with no limits.

The lack of demonstrable return on investment means there is a ceiling to the market size, and profit is capped as cheaper models and self hosted open source models limit the amount flagship models can charge.

Long way to go till market saturation though so they will grow for foreseeable, but its a quandary of how much they spend on R&D vs giving future shareholders dividends.

Iran is best mates with the other Superpower country, China. And via China, Russia and the Brics and other China allies.

So Iran with these partners and the population size and natural resources, its reasonable to say it is a regional power. And not a 'new' one, but has been for some time.
