  • I'm really curious to see how much control he's willing to give up on SpaceX. He owns majority of the voting rights right now, and they are using dual class shares. Will he still retain >50% voting rights after IPO or is he going to give that up?

  • Cellular modems... the thing that makes our cell phone a phone.

    Also your home internet comes in through a modem, but apple made a cellular one.

    It's incredibly difficult to make a good cellular modem and the landscape is filled with so many patents that will get in your way, with Qualcomm being the dominant player.

  • The "This isn't a ad-blocker complaint / paywall, but you have to sign up to continue" ones are somehow even worse to me.

  • Nothing stopped github from forcing me to opt out of sharing all my code with their AI, so I don't think its a legal thing?

  • An AI update that is 'opt in' and not 'opt out'?

    Truly Shocking!

  • I was (un?)fortunate to work at a company early on in my development career that ran into a problem where poor design choices (not mine) limited our ability to be nimble. Ive been able to carry that lesson on. Not that im perfect at it either though haha.

    It has worked out to my benefit many times though.

  • It can be hard, but its not impossible for many things.

    Like if you use AWS S3 there are S3 compatible APIs at cloudflare and likely other cloud providers.

    If youre using a service that offers cloud functions and one offers the programming language you want to use, but others dont, maybe its better to use the more common language that all the platforms offer even if its not youre preferred choice.

    If you were using Slack, have a plan to switch quickly to Teams if something goes wrong and slack drops you so you can get comms up quicker.

    For those where alternatives arent an option, it should be a very conscious choice with the knowledge it might bite you in the ass with no quick recovery.

  • his boss had it compose a few scripts, and he thought he could therefore replace an entire workflow.

    yikes! How long until his boss is like, you're getting in the way of my plans and are wrong, fires that boss for a yes man, and then boom.

  • If you're being forced to use it, just try to convince them to make whatever workflows you use be AI agnostic, and not required to still function.

    As long as you do that, you won't run into this.

  • A business that has a workable disaster plan? Well done.

  • This has nothing to do with AI.

    Don't rely on software or workflows or really anything that you can't easily switch if said company decides to stop doing business with you.

    If you do, it better be a strategic partnership where something like this can't happen.

    In this case, their workflows should have been AI provider agnostic or had a way to continue functioning if Claude went down.

  • When I update my M1 Pro, I'll definitely be getting another MacBook with enough ram to run some decent models. The way they keep improving the memory bandwidth each generation is pretty great and by the time I do get one, it'll be a pretty wonderful inference machine for local AI.

    Also, aside from my development workflows hitting the 16gb ram limit before AI today, it still runs amazingly, so i imagine a high ram laptop would be fine for a very very very long time minus wanting to run even bigger AI models.

  • My old turbo jet engine loud intel MacBook that made noise at the smallest amount of work imaginable vs the silent more powerful m series laptop that lasted what felt like forever battery wise in comparison was such a nice upgrade.

    With everything I do now though my M1 and its 16gb of ram is becoming a little limiting so im going to have to do something about that eventually.

    Edit: and its less obvious to others, but them making their own modems now is also a pretty big thing.

  • Didn't you see the news, teen pregnancy 14 to 19 is down. Its a major crisis!

  • Im impressed the battery lasted that long. I know they get touted with 4-6h batteries or maybe even more, but running would take way more energy than walking or picking things up and placing them in a box or whatever.

    I wonder how much they had left.

    It's true even for apps.
