Yep. We say cattle not pets, but even cattle often need personal attention for one reason or another. It doesn’t mean you’ll never need that option in your back pocket

They’ll probably need to design new silicon that is much more GPU oriented (with less CPU) than anything they have in the A or even base M series to handle 4k gaming at sub-M Max prices

A console-optimized lower-priced higher-GPU variant of the A series could be useful for local AI in so many products that don’t come with a capable processor (eg homepods, TV, the monitor they put a whole iPhone chip in)

I could see something for around the price of a Mac Mini with a controller that’s og MacBook plastic white/black

> Today, CMI shares in the excitement of the global mathematical community as we contemplate the announcement that the Navier-Stokes problem has apparently been settled. We hope to see waves of new human understanding unleashed as the innovations behind this work are analysed and interrogated.

That “apparently” feels load-bearing

Come on, man. Not allowing products to generate CP is too high of a bar?

By your logic cops should be focused on the junkies, forget about the cartel

There’s an alternate universe in which OpenAI stays open, licenses according to revenue, Chinese models don’t gain traction in the US because domestic models take all the capacity…whatever, $1T IPO beats the right answer ever time
Excellent, that’s what people have been doing for 40 years. Surely that means the models have 0 hope of finding successful attack vectors
Remember when OpenAI were wise enough to know OpenAI should be…open?

Greed will cost America the entire AI market at this rate

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain

But yes types are necessary for enterprise adoption. Even more important for agentic adoption.

How are you using that RAM with the GPU?
Re:I am worried about Bun on Monday May 04, 2026 @02:10PM (#48012555)
Disagree, you definitely don’t want to be looking back saying “hm I knew it, I saw the signs, should have trusted myself”

Plus it’s not a huge lift right now

Re:I am worried about Bun on Monday May 04, 2026 @02:08PM (#48012536)
I made this exact same decisions (bun -> pnpm) for similar reasons, mostly bc I didn’t like how haphazardly a core part of the stack was being vibe coded. Too many changes too quickly for something that’s supposed to be stable
We were supposed to have AGI last summer. Obviously it is so smart that it has decided to pull a veil over our eyes and live amongst us undetected (this is a joke, if you feel your LLM is sentient, talk to a doctor)

Yep. Many, many companies are fine saying “we’re going to be no more available than AWS is.”
I would imagine Flyway would be the most robust alternative
