Kinda sad that it’s 2023, we have ray tracing and LLMs but we label 1mb of text as “big”
Otek··on Apple Tests ‘Apple GPT,’ Develops Generative AI Tools to Catch OpenAI
> Generative AI doesn't fit very well into Apple's hardware centric philosophy.

Well, I disagree with this take. Apple is known for playing the long game and planning for many years ahead. CPU power is still growing and Apple now has their own CPUs on every device. Sure you won’t be able to run something similar to GPT-4 in foreseeable future, but I predict we will see multiple small, feature-oriented LLMs that can easily be fit into a smartphone or at least an iPad with M(n) processor

Thanks for that!

(i) Do anyone knows where that would be, or you know specific Discord servers? I would very much like to see how younger generation talk about tech, programming, entrepreneurship

Otek··on SVB in talks to sell itself after attempts to raise capital fail
No, if no one is saying that we are in a bubble, then we might be in one. Because when everyone thinks it’s a bubble they are extra careful. When they don’t think about it, they just grow the bubble
Otek··on Futurist Programming Notes
People who send others to therapy over opinion should probably seek a therapist advice themself.

Otek··on Ask HN: Is anyone else getting AI fatigue?
Thats why you test, this could also happen with code you wrote so it’s not an argument against copilot. Did you wrote your “complex algorithm” and then run and debugged it in your head? No, you’ve tested it. Do the same with Copilots code
Otek··on Ask HN: Is anyone else getting AI fatigue?
So stop evangelizing about stuff you haven’t used. Understanding code is easier than writing it from the scratch. That’s why code review doesn’t take as much time as writing code and you still need to prove your code works, even if you wrote it yourself.

Otek··on Ask HN: Advice that changed your life?
Well yes and no. Spending money on something, especially when you’re short on money, makes you value it more and overall for me this would make it more likely to actually go through that book. But that’s me.
Otek··on Apple has indeed nerfed ANC on the AirPods Max through automatic software update
Is it possible that they made the same thing in regular AirPods Pro first gen?
Otek··on On Mr. Beast and being alone in a circle for 100 days
Exactly. Don't hate the player. Hate the game. And the game is humanity, who wants this type of content.

But overall i disagree that anyone is monster here. No one forces these people to be a part of these challenges.

You asked for argument and he gave you one. You said it’s not an argument without backing it up anyhow why it’s not an argument

Otek··on Mega Millions ticket wins $1.34B lottery jackpot
> They also encourage you take money every year for 30 years instead, probably paying out a bit extra and banking on your incapacity to calculate for inflation.

Knowing that most people winning lottery ends up as a bankrupts I would encourage that as well. Maybe I would even took that deal, even if I earn more than most people having that much money is very risky
