It really depends. I'd say here it's warranted because idk how one would `brew install asahi-linux`.

If it's someone's fuckass vibecoded app though, just why.

That's a very complex question that entirely depends on who you're trying to defend from, more than I can explain in a single comment.

The short of it is that you can make it relatively secure, but it will never reach the same levels of security as macOS. The tight integration apple has allows them to do far more for security, for better and for worse.

Worse being apple putting the entire might of the platform's security into making sure the Chess app can't be uninstalled or tampered with.

Y'all should just let asahi cook. I trust them more to make actual working stable OS than meat proxies.

For sure, he was arguably the first well known person to bring chatGPT to maths.

When his more "anti-ai side" (again, it's more nuanced but I'm calling it that) was showing, everyone was so quick to call him a Luddite. No one stopped to think why a well know ai in maths fan all of a sudden had a more negative opinion. Even reading his actual nuanced take was too much.

If you think the above comment reflects a change of heart from Terrence Tao, you never actually listened to him, only the strawmans of his opinion online.

It's not that they were anti VM, they just didn't think it was a proper security boundary.

We lost this battle aleady. Try telling people to "search it" instead of "google it".

What Quants do you run?

Earlier in march/aprile, there was a regression in Claude code.

Unintentional tbf.

Last time they were called out, it was a regression in Claude code itself.

At least that's their explanation. Either way, it wasn't a good look for "vibecoding" but it got brushed over.

You can find everything on X, from dumpster fires to peak intellectual, everything in between.

If you look at some of the other comments replying to my original comment, you'll get the context that the project started out as a hobby project, purely for fun.

Call me chronically online or whatever, but I've looked at his twitter, and I really don't like his attitude. What specifically grinds my gears is one of tweets where he looks down on programmers who rewrite and program just for the fun of programming.

It's so hypocritical of him, when his entire project started off as just for the fun of programming.

The cherry on top is this was all a part of the whole "agentic shift". I'm fine with someone using AI, and he seemed to use it semi responsibly (at least last I checked), but his hubris and hypocrisy make me not care about the project anymore.

I'm glad we have an alternative to ladybird, since I haven't been a fan of the direction of the project for a bit.

My org also adopted openspec, massive downgrade in workflow. Every change is so much more tedious now.

Two actually*

Mistakes happen but this same buffoon got elected twice. That's no fluke, deep down the american population likes him enough to give him two chances.

Yeah no it does not pay for itself just comparing to cloud. Not at these prices at least, people far richer than you or I buy these things wholesale, no scalper, bought a significant amount at cheaper prices, and are wired up the ass with VC money.

The premium is not having your million dollar prize and career stolen by billionaires.

It's because anthropic vibemathed it. I forgot the name but some other guy is working on a handwritten version of it and I bet it'll be more than just 1 magnitude faster.

After looking at some of his recent interviews, he's acknowledged his previous predictions that 1. He was naive enough to think the investment won't keep coming despite lack of profitability and 2. He acknowledges that AI in it's current form is a billion dollar industry, not a trillion dollar one, but also not zero.

Definitely less extreme than he used to be.

Was it?

Given the timing, I think they A. shat their pants since Deepseek flash just came out with insane pricing before the price hikes, and B. Anthropic is really struggling in model tiers below opus.

It was smart for them to cut prices regardless of whether they had 80% efficiency gains or not

For most of the use cases I would need an app for, koreader's plugin system works just fine for it. You'd be surprised the gems you can find for koreader.

It's that good because the language model they use is expensive I'm pretty sure. I haven't seen many details on what they use, but it's apparently a loss leader for them and already can no longer be used for free.

Meanwhile google translate is probably served on the cheapest model they could muster.

Funny how that works out, because AI is the solution to a problem significantly worsened by AI. The web didn't used to be this terrible before chatGPT, now it's just so much slop. At this point AI is required to sift through all the bullshit caused at least in part by AI.

You know now that I think of it me too. I absolutely never used the free google one because I never trusted it (you know what they say about free things).

If I'm paying for it through Kagi, I could at least trust their incentives are aligned with mine instead of whoever is paying them the most.

I just wish it were easier to keep up with which models are good for what. Especially with the introduction of the research assistant, I have no idea whether I should be using that or one of the standalone models. And don't even get me started on trying to pick the best open model, it's always fluctuating.

I wouldn't say it's better, it's a great alternative though. I find that for some tasks I much prefer doing a search myself as I may not trust the sources it's pulling from, but for others it's not only adequate but much faster.

I think it's a great complement to human lead search.

Everyone else mentioned the app support which is true, but for graphene specifically, they do not like desktop Linux at all because they don't like its security. They would much rather build on AOSP than desktop linux.

That shit used to be frowned upon, now it's celebrated!

From my experience they have been getting less repairable. Look at recent thinkpads.

My headcannon is that the only reason the T14G7 is as repairable as it is, is due to the whole right to repair movement, including framework.

> the neat part is that you don't have to, millions will do it for you!

You're not wrong. We're already seeing something similar with all the outages and buggy software updates these days.

We little choice in the matter, you will have ze (software) bugs!
