They've been pretty efficient in squashing any potential competition because of that weak regulation, yes. Don't confuse it with competing on the merits of their products.

Are they though? Will they always be? Is it in their interest to be efficient?

Maybe if you start from scratch with a new project, but when migrating an old project it's definitely not a drop-in replacement. I try once or twice per year, but it's not worth the effort when the upside isn't that big.

I also have a Thinkpad, but an X1. I'd trade it and my first-born child to get to run Linux on a modern MacBook.

No offense to Lenovo, it's a great laptop. But Apples build quality is on another level, plus if I want to run local LLMs, AFAIK there is no better option.

There's no way I'm going back to macOS though, that shit was bad 5 years ago when I switched and it sounds like it's gotten way worse.

Wow, you should probably ask it to write a script for 90+% of that instead . Sounds like a huge waste of electricity.

What type of hardware do I need to run a small model like this? I don't do Apple.

In Sweden, Tesla is the new BMW. It attracts aggressive A-hole drivers, so no need to automate it.

Are you for real looking up to the US in this case? That's so sad. There are things you can look up to, but over all they are fubar.

You are working under the assumption that everyone who takes property also wants to do physical harm. It's very sad. Most people who take property are otherwise peaceful individuals and more importantly, they are rational just like you and me. They do not want to risk a bigger penalty by using force. Your mindset is one that escalates any given situation. With your mindset you are putting yourself in much more risk than necessary.

I'm going to assume that you are American, and that many Americans agree with you. I can only say sorry. You can keep turning a blind eye to the stats, but it will not change the facts. You will need to change this way of thinking to save your country.

Head, dead, I misread. Not the point.

You do not have a _right_ to kill anybody ever. However, you do have a _right to defend yourself_, within reason. That could in some situations mean that you take actions that kill someone. A judge and/or jury will decide whether it was reasonable. If it wasn't, you broke the law. They did not "take away your right" to kill.

FYI most of the world do not allow you to kill someone to defend your property. That is a very American thing. If someone takes your stuff, you call the police.

If you think that you have a right to shoot someone in the head, you're fucking nuts. Period. Go see a shrink.

They will be before this is over.

I disagree. I think it's pretty clear that they are saying that getting help from an anyone (in this particular case, an engineer) is a two-way street. Nobody likes being interrupted, especially when the interruptor has not made even the slightest effort themselves.

Thanks for your insightful contribution. And for proving my point.

I wonder what happens when we run out of senior engineers.
