brianwawok··on Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production
It’s also the part that if you go from 400 miles to 200 miles between 5 minute gas fill ups, eh. But doubling 20-30 minute charges? Super annoying.

But boy does my model Y tow tiny trailers well.

brianwawok··on Mac at any scale
Well it means why Apple doesn't care about the market lol.
brianwawok··on Study estimates 75% of NFL players who died over 15-year span had CTE
So.. NFL but remove all padding?

Football, boxing... seem the top two to cross off. I think skiing is perhaps the third to cross off.
brianwawok··on Mac at Any Scale
How many would they sell per year, and how would the total revenue compare to iPhone revenue?
brianwawok··on Anthropic reports $17B in Q3 revenue, commitments of $895B in revised S-1
But like Google and Facebook have a lot of hardware. They aren’t just pure in the cloud (though Google is running other peoples clouds). But yes their hardware demands per dollar of revenue is much lower
brianwawok··on Dolly Parton's Imagination Library
Hah I’m in Dollywood right now randomly
brianwawok··on Factorio version 2.1, the final major update for the game, has been released
I try to only play it during the month of December, to not wreck my entire life and marriage
brianwawok··on Sony Retires Its Last 4K Blu-ray Player in Japan, PS5 Is All That's Left
Depends on screen size and distance. Super obvious at the right combo.
brianwawok··on DeepSeek just open-sourced its inference engine
What is that CPM? My CPM in ChatGPT is lower than in Google. CPM is a bad metric, how much does 1 conversion cost? You can charge me $100 per ad all day, as long as every showing results in a $1000 sale.
brianwawok··on DeepInfer: High-performance inference framework for DeepSeek models
Serious question: Are you do a combative code analysis with a range of different models?

I used to find real dumb bugs in code reviews. With 2-3 different models doing a combative code review.. most of that is already fixed when I get it.

At similar prices and 1/4th or whatever the average salary, meaning the average person has to use a lot less energy, or spend a larger % of their budget on it
brianwawok··on How Far Will AI Assistants Go for a Refund They Can't Get?
Read more say less
brianwawok··on JDK 28
Yah but why? The things it was good at doesn’t really matter nearly as much post AI.
brianwawok··on It Ain't AGI Until H100s Go for $30 an Hour
No one can agree what AGI means anymore. Pretty sure we are close enough to call it.
brianwawok··on Yandex Takes a Second Data Center Hit in 48 Hours
Computers aint cheap right now off the shelf. Can't imagine the embargo busting surcharge.
brianwawok··on How Fast is Python 3.15?
So Claude can convert python code bases to rust or golang, and give you an easy 10x speed boost. Much better than waiting for Python performance to improve
brianwawok··on Your Big Mac might cost more if McDonald's AI thinks people nearby can afford it
Getting AI boost though. Like watch traffic patterns and sporting events, crank it as much as they can!

Please ban all on demand pricing government. Limit it to 1 price a day or something

brianwawok··on Nvidia wants to put a watchdog chip next to every AI agent
Ok so stop all AI in the US? All AI now comes from China and anyplace in Europe that decides to give it a try? How’s the US economy look in 20 years?
brianwawok··on Ask HN: Is Opus 5.5 another step change?
Feels like a faster and cheaper fable, which yes is a big jump.
brianwawok··on Tell HN: OpenAI $500 ProMax plan listed in API
A lot depends on how good open source models do. I know I can buy a 20k rig or whatever to get model X. If someone wants to charge me 3k a month to write code I just buy the hardware.
brianwawok··on Plan mode is dead
What? Nothing to do with that
brianwawok··on Grok 4.7
Maybe mid priced is a better term for it lol.
brianwawok··on Grok 4.7
5T I believe is the guess, though not sure its public anywhere.
brianwawok··on Bill Gates tries to install MovieMaker (2003)
Beats me but somehow we do!

Every day I drop 1k lines of Python code and replace with go. Will be fully go soon!

brianwawok··on Bill Gates tries to install MovieMaker (2003)
The difference in complexity between my go and my Python docker image is actually hilarious. 100s of files and package managers and npm and whatever else.. vs 1 file.
brianwawok··on Windows 11's "special" developer edition looks like another marketing misfire
Ditto. Nothing I want to play doesn’t work on Linux / bazzite.
brianwawok··on Stripe acquires Clerky
In fact Atlas and their push to be a C-Corp is a bad play for us small timers
brianwawok··on Apple introduces M6 and M5 Ultra
History has shown me people value convenience and cheapness and maybe safety. Privacy is far down the list for 99% of the world
brianwawok··on Apple introduces M6 and M5 Ultra
The memory bandwidth and size seems to be there, but what is the tokens per sec on like a qwen model? And you can basically do 3x opus 4.5 on the $100 a month claude plan. Your payback will be near infinity years after electricity.
