I'd pay $2k for a Mini Pro. Just want this to be on the internet, in case...

Both people here sound excessively political and self rationalizing. It literally never makes sense to take a dispute like this public also.

N=1 from my own experience but other than occasionally disabling it in Safari for websites it seems to work flawlessly for me. I've had it on MacOS and iOS for about a year now.

I feel similarly right now, which is patr of why I shut down my company.

I had to stop after 6 months because my testosterone dropped so much (serious, blood test confirmed). Felt way better for the first few months, then slowly lower energy and not like myself. Eventually realized more vegetables is good, but nailing is protein wise on true vegan diet is very very hard.

It is fraud*

Opus is probably ~2T parameter model, so that would probably not run on these. More like Sonnet.

Facebook are the worst, and I hope the settlement exceeds their balance sheet.

I feel this way, so I shut my startup down. Not sure what I'm going to do next but I'm hoping it isn't so computer dependent. The reason I got into computers was unregulated opportunity and freedom and it's just the opposite today.

There is just no way all these data center investments in the trillions pay off. That has to be paid out of cashflow, like, real profit. The price to do useful things keeps falling, the payroll economy will crash long before there's actual trillions of dollars of cashflow for tokens.

Yes it's a giant wire payment. Depending on your bank, it might have to be setup to send in daily large amounts (e.g. $999k every day for X days). It can actually cause problems for your local bank branch because one thing banks have to do at the regional level is show that their own local balance sheet is healthy. So a giant deposit moving in and out of the bank can cause compliance issues.

In my totally uneducated opinion as a founder working on winding down my software company that can't differentiate anymore and considering finding someone in hard tech to partner with, I think problem first is a mistake. Problem first is appropriate for a business, but for a lab, I think it should be organized around the art of possible, deep specialization and capabilities first. You never know what valuable things will come out of that process. Once you have something promising, you can match it to problems and make a business case working backwards from you. Generally startups are the opposite, you want to organize them around a customer and a problem, but fundamental R&D != startups.

Gemma and Muse Glimmer are pretty sweet, I like my adaptiveness odds against their sloppiness. It seems like the new billionaire move is starting a company with your buddies to do your 'life's work' of automating scientific research. Sort of like science and enlightenment without human involvement. Key unsolved philosophy question of what the humans will do.

Gen Z seems to have some kind of vaccine against all the Gen X problems.

I think this is accurate and a reflection of the pathological insecurity that leads someone to want to start a startup.
