lossless vs lossy is the question.

How lossy? Because I can lossy compress anything into 0 bits.

0 bits is just a very small bloom filter.

No they were not. Why is this rubbish on front page?

There are no facts only interpretations. - Frederick Nietzsche

But honestly, it is because numbers are like people; torture them enough and they'll tell you anything.

Rains a lot and often around 30°C. Walking is not always an option if you need to be presentable wherever you're going.

This should BE front and centre and what is sold, not ads for a 3rd party.

This is the typical thinking of the toolmaker. It is not useful in markets. Apple is not in the business of engineering software, their in the business of consumer hardware.

Even more so, having retired themselves from server and workstation market.

Are there more powerful workstations than a maxed out Mac Studio?

First of all, not all workstations are alike.

A maxed out Mac Studio does very little for audio processing, and the custom audio cards that get used in the field.

Second to do the same as many users do with graphics cards configurations, one gets into gimmicks like external eGPU adaptors.

Third, Metal has not much adoption among visualisation software.

Finally, a Mac Studio can only be maxed out once during its lifetime.

Granted, I feel this is true re my non-Mac computers. You think you can max it out at first, but then there's new interfaces, RAM standards, etc

This is apologia. There is a mile between being stuck with 16GB of ram vs on DDR5 or even DDR5. The analogy is absurd.

I'm just saying...between my sandy bridge to the current box, when I looked either having to search for older components vs. just building something new, it was always just easier to build something new. Of course this was when prices were "normal" vs. today....

You seem to forget the "you can't at all" part with new Apple hardware. Of course, everything has a limit on upgrades, but not being able to upgrade your RAM or at very least SSD is insane that we put up with. This is pure anti-consumer cartel outcome.

What is with the website though? Rubbish scrolling. Junky rendering with artifacts if you scroll fast.

Notion is a "knowledge database" with awful performance and jank, that some people have decided sounded like a perfect place to host their blog for whatever reason. But these shared pages been as buggy as the first time I saw them years ago, not sure what they're doing.

Yes, scrolling with the arrow keys does nothing for several presses, then jumps, then acts normally, then jumps again. Really stupid and annoying.

Also, Alt-Left Arrow doesn't return me to the previous page (Hacker News) and I have to use my mouse.

sorry, its a notion not a real site.

You should use my model then, I spent about 30$ in electricity and used my existing RTX4090. It is not very good, but can you compare it with others really? You can use this service via a private API with a VPN, email me your credit card details for access.

This is the most naive take on security ever. For the backend, you assume your client is compromised, but you still don't want to allow your client to be compromised.

I am using Gemini as well as Opus on a somewhat small project in React Native and I can not imagine this thing being able to build the whole thing on its own without it being a dumbpster fire.

Can you share some details of how you work? What models? What harness?

I use Codex and Claude Code desktop apps. I generally use only the SOTA, now Astra and Fable 5.1, Opus 5 when Fable runs out.

I don't know if Gemini is suitable.

I had few issues with my native iOS app, the results are just decent after a few iterations, the models do what I ask them to do. Where do you see the problem?

The LOC for my app is now at almost 200k + 110k lines of test code.

what in the gobbledygook is this

We use CC with Fable(Opus before that) continuously on a rather large project, everything is tested, we maintain high verified test coverage, we ship features x10 faster than when we started(pre Claude-everything era 2-3 years ago). I never worked with RN before and I ship features now. LLMs allowed us to find issues within RN itself, that thanks to some patches, improved lower end Android experience by a lot. We just use all the Claude defaults with claude.md that evolved over last year.

> Are there cybersecurity concerns in the frontend? I would have thought you have to assume the client is untrusted and only do security work on the backend.

I hate software engineering now.
