It really depends on what sort of DAW work you're doing, but you'd be surprised.

I've always found Audio and MIDI processing on a Mac to be a lot more responsive and a lot more resource-efficient on MacOS than any other OS. It's the reason a lot of us ran Hackintoshes back in the day.

For what it's worth, my M3 MBP with 18GB RAM can have dozens of Firefox tabs, virtual machines (some x64, some ARM), editors, terminals, Mail, and Excel open, and you literally couldn't tell it wasn't idling. I've never even heard the fan ramp up.

It would be interesting to see the breakdown on technical vs non-technical roles. I can't imagine it takes even 50% of that to actually develop the product.

Given that 2.91TB SSDs are a common enterprise size, perhaps they're saying the 1x245TB SSD uses 1/84 the power of 84 2.91TB SSDs ;p

"I only use tools that my LLM knows how to use" is not the flex that you think it is

While TFA is a bit of a disorganised stream of consciousness, I can definitely empathise with the author on the majority of their points. The desktop Linux community is full of people that are, frankly, completely insufferable.

This isn't even isolated to the online world. I still remember when I presented my Honours project for University and the "demo" consisted of a few Debian VMs running on my laptop to serve as a facsimile of a compute cluster. An attendee (a respected industry representative) openly and publicly mocked me for not using RHEL or CentOS - despite the fact I'd already explained the implementation was distro-independent.

There's a degree of smug arrogance that's quite pervasive in tech fields, but the desktop Linux community seems to be an outlier even among that. I'm unsure how much of it is lack of social awareness, or neurodivergence, or what, but it's exhausting and it's a big reason why I (also a desktop Linux user) don't really engage in those communities.

Do you expect something exclusively trained on them to be any better?

Interesting that it reads a bit like it came from a Markov chain rather than an LLM. Perhaps limited training data?

I fail to see how the two concepts equate.

LLMs have neither intelligence nor problem-solving abillity (and I won't be relaxing the definition of either so that some AI bro can pretend a glorified chatbot is sentient)

You would, at best, be demonstrating that the sharing of knowledge across multiple disciplines and nations (which is a relatively new concept - at least at the scale of something like the internet) leads to novel ideas.

Congratulations, you've reinvented the history book (just with more energy consumption and less guarantee of accuracy)

You express a desire for more FreeBSD posts and then immediately wade into all the typical flame-warring that surrounds most BSD/ZFS posts (systemd, ECC RAM), and it's been that way for over a decade at this point.

Are you from the middle ages, or are you so out of touch with blue-collar work that you're under the impression the average sewer worker has to manually handle waste?

I don't know if you're intentionally being obtuse or you just failed third grade reading comprehension, but can you please go argue with the people actually making these points (rather than me, a random person who has replied to them)?

I didn't actually make the point initially. I was challenging the reply's point that:

a) just because some people are miserable at work, doesn't mean we shouldn't care that other people might become miserable at work

b) Someone saying they prefer their food to be made without suffering is clearly a hypocrite in all cases because... there are miserable people in fast food jobs?

I mean... really. Come on now.

0.8*harm < 0.81*harm - hope this helps!

Also, the core point is about people being able to find meaning in their work. That you've decided to laser in on this specific point to go on a tangent of whattaboutism is largely irrelevant.

Have a nice day.

Are you seriously and earnestly arguing that harm-minimisation is useless and we should all just open the human-suffering throttle, or did you just not think that far ahead?

I am hoping the latter. Being foolish is far more temporary a condition than being cruel.
