I don't know what I'm talking about but when I first asked your question this https://gist.github.com/Artefact2/b5f810600771265fc1e3944228... helped start me on a path to understanding. I think.

But if you don't already know the question your asking is not at all something I could distill down into a sentence or to that would make sense to a lay-person. Even then I know I couldn't distill it at all sorry.

Edit: I found this link I referenced above on quantized models by bartowski on huggingface https://huggingface.co/bartowski/Qwen2.5-Coder-14B-GGUF#whic...
It probably helps that one of PostHog's core products is an A/B testing framework, so it's much easier for them to iterate on it internally for what they need to A/B PostHog. Even when you already have a best in class A/B testing framework though, I agree—A/B testing too much or waiting too long for "more data" to make decisions can slow down momentum badly for features that should be no-brainers.

> - if you are developer and don’t care about screen or battery differences - should you go for same spec macbook pro instead of same spec macbook air.

If you are doing normal developer things, the MacBook Air is 100% fine. I use mine daily (M3 Air 13in, 24GB RAM), it handles Rails + Postgres, it handles JS (Next.js + React), it handles Flutter (for desktop and mobile), it handles IntelliJ and RubyMine and DataGrip, it handles Android Studio and Xcode for iOS apps -- including Android/iPhone software emulators. I can load up large Docker projects with 12+ containers, totally fine. I occasionally play with LM Studio, no issues.

Under all of the above, no throttling, no heat issues, works fine on laps, etc. Half the time, it's barely warm to the touch.

---

The only time it gets hot for me, is running the CPU + GPU max'd out hard, for long periods of time. If I try to run FF14 or Warframe via Crossover/Codeweavers for an hour or two, for example, it gets warm and throttles a bit. (Still works, no crashes, no issues, but it does get warm and throttle).

99%+ of developers are fine with a MacBook Air.

The ACM award is for their professional academic achievements - this fetishism to dig into another person’s personal life and find the most weird thing they said as the thing that paints over all of their life’s achievements as evil must stop.

It’s silly and dangerous. Because you don’t like thing A and they said/did thing A all of their lofty accomplishments get nullified by anyone. And worst of all internet gives your opinion the same weight as someone else (or the rest of us) who knows a lot about thing B that could change the world. From a strictly professional capacity.

This works me up because this is what’s dividing up people right now at a much larger scale.

I wish you well.

Not to get in the way of good snark or anything. But.. Apple isn't _requiring_ that everyone uses MacOS on their systems. But you have to bring your own engineering effort to actually make another OS run. And so far Asahi is the only effort that I'm aware of (there were alternatives in the very beginning, but they didn't even get to M2 right?)
There are companies out there that probably do none of these things and are x1000 more successful from a revenue or market cap perspective. Seems like the biggest successes are simply being at the right place at the right time and not being a complete idiot. Nobody wants to hear that though.
Yes, two different models (both Brother). Can't remember the model numbers right now, but a simple black and white printer, and a black and white + scanner model.
I don't think 1TB of storage makes something professional equipment. I have well over 500 GB of photos. I want each of those stored locally where I control the data. Nor do I think 32 GB of RAM makes something professional. I'd prefer to future proof such a large purchase, and because I can't even go back to Apple in 3 years and purchase more RAM I have to decide right now what might be useful in 5-7 years.
Only because we choose it to be.

When you use XMPP or Matrix you know your message will be delivered instantly. When you use email you don't. But that's only because we haven't defined an extension that tells the client whether the server can deliver messages instantly. It's not really that inherent to the system. Surely you've had at least one real-time conversation by email because both of you happened to be online at the same time and nothing went wrong necessitating a message delay.
> But a large part is also that Democratic platform, messaging, and follow-through just doesn't inspire.

That's a media problem.

The bulk of media is squarely on the Republican side right now. A degree of convincing needs to be done to move media heads (Zuckerberg, Bezos maybe???) towards supporting and inspiring other stories.

Republicans have a media strategy. Its Macho man and bluster, bullying even. Democrats don't have one. But Democrats don't have powerful unified media heads like the Republicans who can spew out a consistent message.

I doubt it. In corporate environments I see so many base models being used. Most office workers do everything on SaaS web apps anyway; they only need sufficient RAM to run a browser and browser-based apps. Having small amount of storage is a feature not a bug, because it prevents employees from downloading too much company proprietary information onto their laptops.

In the future, we’ll decide HTML, CSS, and JS are too much of an inconsistent burden; so every website will bundle their own renderers into a <canvas> tag running off a WASM blob. Accessibility will be figured out later - just like it was for the early JavaScript frontends.

I am looking forward to the HTML Frameworks explosion. You thought there were too many JS options? Imagine when anyone can fork HTML.
Why do they always compare their new-gen CPUs with M1??
Yes- after many years of being a theory guy I actually did a 180 and started building my own scientific instruments, because the acquisition cost of a research microscope is so high. This allows me to experiment quickly with new ML algorithms, and I've greatly increased my respect for the people who toil to make the hardware for next-generation discovery science.
I just wish those issues were talked about, then we could try to start solving them. If we talked about those issues half as much as we talk about what the AFD considers the problem, we would be well on our way.

Yeah.

For what we needed, five 32 bit address spaces was enough DRAM. The individual CPU parts were way more than 20% as fast, and the 100Mbit switch was good enough.

(The data basically fit in ram, so network transport time to load a machine was bounded by 4GiB / 8MiB / sec = 500 seconds. Also, the hard disks weren’t much faster than network back then.)
Super cool! This only works on the side facing the GNSS constellation, right? There is no signal to use on the other side.
I’m surprised how many people bring up “Erm that memory is actually not being used” as if there isn’t plenty of knock on effects from how memory pressure is actually done. For example, if I keep chrome open long enough my builds slowly use less and less threads because the build thinks there’s less memory available, so I have to periodically close chrome and reopen and restore last session.

It’s true reported memory allocation does not equal actual memory used and that’s very clever of everyone who brings it up, but it does actually cause real annoyances.
These chromebooks won’t run chrome, they’ll meander it.

I don't expect the US will default on our debt. Rather I expect we will continue to print money endlessly. But what I am arguing is that the world becoming multipolar will mean that the result of that will be more in line with other countries who might try such things - which means you mostly just end up pumping up inflation.

What this means is that the US will need to gradually cut down on spending, and eventually work on also bringing down our debt, or at least our debt:gdp. As will other countries who have gone a bit too far down the funny money hole. Well that, or just enter into stagflation. And should this prediction hold true, then war is going to become much more difficult to wage in the future.
From my outsider perspective, it's pretty straightforward why they don't.

In Intel's case, there's ample coverage of the company's lack of direction and complacency on existing hardware, even as their competitors ate away at their moat, year after year. AMD with their EPYC chips taking datacenter share, Apple moving to in-house silicon for their entire product line, Qualcomm and Microsoft partnering with ongoing exploration of ARM solutions. A lack of competency in leadership over that time period has annihilated their lead in an industry they used to single-handedly dictate, and it's unlikely they'll recover that anytime soon. So in a sense, Intel cannot make a similar product, in a timely manner, that competes in this segment.

As for AMD, it's a bit more complicated. They're seeing pleasant success in their CPU lineup, and have all but thrown in the towel on higher-end GPUs. The industry has broadly rallied around CUDA instead of OpenCL or other alternatives, especially in the datacenter, and AMD realizes it's a fool's errand to try and compete directly there when it's a monopoly in practice. Instead of squandering capital to compete, they can just continue succeeding and working on their own moat in the areas they specialize in - mid-range GPUs for work and gaming, CPUs targeting consumers and datacenters, and APUs finding their way into game consoles, handhelds, and other consumer devices or Edge compute systems.

And that's just getting into the specifics of those two companies. The reality is that any vendor who hasn't already unveiled their own chips or accelerators is coming in at what's perceived to be the "top" of the bubble or market. They'd lack the capital or moat to really build themselves up as a proper competitor, and are more likely to just be acquired in the current regulatory environment (or lack thereof) for a quick payout to shareholders. There's a reason why the persistent rumor of Qualcomm purchasing part or whole of Intel just won't die: the x86 market is rather stagnant, churning out mediocre improvements YoY at growing pricepoints, while ARM and RISC chips continue to innovate on modern manufacturing processes and chip designs. The growth is not in x86, but a juggernaut like Qualcomm would be an ideal buyer for a "dying" or "completed" business like Intel's, where the only thing left to do is constantly iterate for diminishing returns.

> Probably helps that models like deepseek are mixture of expert. Having all weights in VRAM means you don’t have to unlod/reload. Memory bandwidth usage should be limited to the 37B active parameters.

"Memory bandwidth usage should be limited to the 37B active parameters."

Can someone do a deep dive above quote. I understand having the entire model loaded into RAM helps with response times. However, I don't quite understand the memory bandwidth to active parameters.

Context window?

How much the model can actively be processed despite being fully loaded into memory based on memory bandwidth?
My HP laser predates most of this idiocy, but even on it the toner levels are brazen lies. I've printed just fine for some 2+ years after the "very low" toner warnings started across all colors (though admittedly quite low volume; it's more a scanner than a printer).

> The the question is if a llm will run with usable performance at that scale?

This is the big question to have answered. Many people claim Apple can now reliably be used as a ML workstation, but from the numbers I've seen from benchmarks, the models may fit in memory, but the performance for tok/sec is so slow to not feel worth it, compared to running it on NVIDIA hardware.

Although it be expensive as hell to get 512GB of VRAM with NVIDIA today, maybe moves like this from Apple could push down the prices at least a little bit.

A/B testing is also high risk: a good test produces valuable data, a bad test produces harmful data. A company that does no testing is better off than a company that does bad testing. Many people treat product decisions made based on test results as unimpeachable, whereas they treat product decisions made on a hunch with a healthy skepticism that leads to better outcomes.
