>Apple devices stand apart in their reputation for quality and security,

Just dont actually measure either of these. I'm a bit afraid to talk important things in front of iphones given their atrocious security record.

Also you mentioned quality, but I don't see any CUDA/Nvidia on their platforms. They might advertise quality, but they are closer to B- quality. Please forget the butterfly keyboard white-washing campaign or 'you are holding your phone wrong'.

If anyone isnt aware, Fedora is currently the GOAT OS. Don't knock it until you try it. Everything just works, and it works like the Platonic form of a desktop should.

A Fedora Cinnamon Atomic would be a wet dream for me. I'm surprised that wasnt prioritized. Budgie Desktop looks interesting.

Don't use langchain, just make the calls?

Its what I ended up doing.

I did a test on my field, I might have gotten an idea or two. Thanks Bard.

Really makes me wonder if chatGPT4 could have given me the same answer if I could roll seeds a few times or change the invisible preprompt.

We have 2 online AI that can do logic now, 0 offline :(

I find it interesting 'analysts' are looking at Apple's product rather than user sentiment.

If you are only looking at objective metrics, Apple is always going to perform at B and C levels.

If you are looking at fanaticism, they are A++.

They are best in class for marketing though.

Even chatgpt says they are the best company of all time at marketing.

What are people using CPUs for?

I mean I have a crappy 7 year old CPU that I use for single threaded dev, and it works for 99% of cases. In the 1% of cases, I threw on multithreading and its fine.

Now my daily driver has a GPU and it unlocks new possibilities.

Its been over 10 years since I've really spent time thinking about a CPU.

>Quality is very subjective

And these companies pump the marketing and psychology tricks to an 11/10.

We could use objective quality metrics, but that would embarrass these groups. Why is it all of these groups are not the objectively the Top? They are B- when you use objective metrics.

> you will be very hard pressed to find ANY bugs or glitches. Like you have to hunt really hard to try to find them, they are usually an extremely polished experience.

Has this ever been true? Or maybe its true, but the games are so mediocre that no one cares that 'Pong doesnt have any bugs'.

Ubuntu? No way. Nothing on the DE works on Debian branch, basically avoid for consumer use.

Fedora? Yes please.

LibreOffice is downright terrible, please do not lump it into a problem of OS replacements. I'm 100% convinced there is some M$ plant that deliberately makes the GUI bad. I still use it, and I use Google's.

>I will honestly prefer to just ban all tech from schools.

Woah what a reactionary! No ballpoint pens, right?

>2028 the effects of the tech ban were apparent, in mere years, the productivity of this countries students had dropped well below global levels. Graduates the year before were becoming first class citizens as inequality became based on the year you were born.

Its interesting, you find quality with these brands.

I'm certain these brands advertise they have quality, but I think they fall far short of the competition constantly. Nintendo? Disney? Apple? When I think of their actual quality compared to the best in the business you are talking B- quality.

Sure you never get a C or a D like when I get a random Android phone for $100, but you are never going to get a Baulders Gate 3 from Nintendo.

Although now that you mention it, all of these brands have total fanatics that border on cult worship. I wonder if this is natural, or some unethical psychology their marketing departments use.

I've done stuff like this. Actually made me socially isolated, I had a few close friends, but lost my acquaintances and people I was familiar with.

I don't really buy into these anti-society articles anymore.

>It's a lot of greenfield design and development, which feels a lot like working in an early stage startup.

What does this mean?

Also how'd you get your first business?

>My boss “writes” policies etc using ChatGPT. They’re generic, overly wordy and say nothing of original thought.

Isnt this good for a workplace policy?

Wife had to do something similar and I'm happy it was overfit. I don't want some creative policy book.
