typical western main character syndrome

if a hardware cycle takes ~3 years then fall 2026 would be the first possible device generation where apple exploits its advantage with the unified ram architecture.
more realistically, spring 2027, since they probably also needed some time to make up their minds to lean into that on the top end.
that`s also how i would interpret the recent rumors on m6 and m7.
naturally, the cooling and all that will be optimized around that.
so the first devices that are actually intended and designed for this use case will come at the earliest this fall and more likely in q1/q2 next year.
you are basically paying the price now to be on the bleeding (sweating) edge
the qn is if it will be what china wants and needs
more likely something better or more suited to the ecosystem in china will emerge
are you by any chance hyperlexic? interested to hear more about this, like how fast is considered fast
that never happened before :)))
i use a 47 min timer to remind me of getting up and shaking out and a tiny Keyboard Maestro macro to set or cancel it with a hotkey.
once it runs, there is a timer in the menu bar.
totally sufficient
what field?
1 year later, with no js/ts skills at all, i got 10 custom plugins, several forks where i fixed bugs and some custom adapations, dozens of scripts and snippets and what not
Now obsidian works for me like I want, and still every day I use it Im still in awe
It is a bit hard to describe until I make a video but basically I seem to have changed the fundamental unit from a document to a chunk and it is just awesome
none of which would have been possible without AI

And drop the "the". It`s cleaner.
it was always BS
now everybody can see
thats the only difference
Since you stand by your statement so strongly, you should have it already, correct?
> they consider themselves Communist. They do not consider us Communist.
And you know all this because of your deep study, in the original language of course, of the CPC, their internal factions, and the collected writings in their leading policy journals, I assume, yes?
Or dare I even ask did you get this from some 250 word limit editorial in the "wall street journal"?
Think about the components of all those innovations from the past and if they would have been possible (to scale) without violent and forcible extraction of resources from around the globe, incl forced labor.
Think about when GDP was constructed and how, and from which point stuff got counted into it (ie from which point in the production chain it added to a country´s gdp). If you take raw materials X and Y from somewhere, by force and for cheap, then make sth like a out of it and only count that topline, now you have a big gdp, congrats.
Eg even the "US" was not even "settled" (forcible land expansion) until the late 19th or early 20th century. So you have a steady influx of cheap/free land to support a growing population that keeps adding to the "gdp". Lo and behold, soon after this dynamic stopped, financial bubble and bust ensues.
The main lesson for me is that progress and growth are completely separate things/concepts. You can absolutely progress without "growing" (bloating) your gdp, if you change some things. You can absolutely regress while "growing" (bloating) your gdp. Look at "US" today.
Chicken are coming home to roost. This is why first instinct of Trump and his cohorts is now to expand again "US" borders. Go back to extraction to "grow", since they are institutionally and mentally incapable of progress without extraction. More importantly, without "growth" the system as it is will collapse. It behaves like a cancer that has close to killed its host. It´s over, and anyone who can see knows it on some level.
I was in the first batch last year where they introduced it and going to do the second one too.
It´s a very different kind of beast to what is currently being discussed.
The dismissive comments here pain me as Ive seen them work hard on this over the last year as they integrated many of our feature requests and built out the platform. I’ve also had time to let the ideas sink in.
You definitely cant hang back and expect some magic ai to do all the work for you.
I also cant say „you will definitely benefit“ since everybody is difft.
But i can honestly say it‘s the real deal, no ifs and buts.
Personally I’m using it to learn the whole fastai ecosystem.
It’s like an intelligent notebook. That means you could use this for many different things but at least to me the high order bit is „AI assisted literate programming“
therefore I expect that mac pro (and in similar vein mac studio) will be repositioned as ai/ml dev machine, with apple leaning into their lucky strike of UMA fit with modern requirements.
my bet is m5 extreme exclusive to mac pro and 1 tb possibly even 2 tb ram, and mac studio limited to m5 ultra and 1 tb ram on the high ends.
but thats not based on rumors or "news" of any sort, just from logic extrapolated if i were in apple shoes
And the literature on this is completely difft and, more to the point, vastly more effective than the one on philosophy of science or striving for truth.
Not saying one is better than the other. My point is only those are difft and Sagan is not a good guide to make masses of people vote or act how you want.
When in fact this entire genre should be read and addressed exclusively for oneself.
It reminds me how I was passionately discussing sth like this with a (former) friend and it seemed we agreed on the principles. When suddenly through some offhand remakr or turn of phrase it turned out he was thinking of others while I was thinking of myself
Meaning, he thought how easily others were misled (naturally, he himself was perfectly immune, his worldview correct) while I was talking about how I needed to protect myself from being seduced by agreeable nonsense.
Again, this genre applies to the reader, it is not a lecture material for you.
We have no business judging others`s beliefs when we have enough trouble keeping our own sane.
What we can do is short or bet against them if we are so convinced that we are right. Place your bets and stick to yourself. If you are as right as you are convinced, you should do well over time. Physical and economic reality >> fantasy and cope.
