Nah.. Amazon started with “ephimeral” compute. That was the whole thing why you needed another storage layer

Unlike most VPSes


This is one reason why we have lock files / version pinning

I don't want you to run arbitrary hooks on my machine. As with CI/CD... your hooks should simply point to a script instead

Ok well what about when I pay you and give you a local machine to work on?

Can I pay you to run hooks on the work machine I own because it saves a lot of work on the share build machines? Can we talk about making that situation less error prone?


Tools growing unexpected code execution is how we keep having problems with secrets and other important things being stolen. If you add this feature to git, generally, then anybody cloning a git repo is going to have to deal with the fact that `git clone` might run arbitrary code. `git clone` is like `cp`. Do you want `cp` to unexpectedly run code? It should never do that.

Why force git to be a build tool?

Just document how to execute the scripts/checks that will be used by ci. Provide a simple script in the repo that folks can intentionally execute.


Git is already a build tool and LFS is a great example of something git should be able to do and is also an example of how bolted on these things feel because of pointless push back in talking about a real solution.

You don't need to bring up bad ideas as if it precludes the existence of good ideas. Let's talk about good ways to solve these problems and improve the tool.


Yes that’s perfectly fine of course. But these days that’s not so common

Your prompts will go through so many companies, who all want to have a piece of that sweet human conversation.

Teams / IDE / Harnass / Router / Agent


I'd love the m5 ipad pro (with some more RAM please), and just use macos on it

I have almost no use for the keyboard that's attached to my macbook. I use an external one. On the plane it's in the way. The only use for the keyboard is when taking it with me somewhere which is not my regular spot. And even then a portable bottomcase (keyboard+touchpad) would be great.. Basically an iPad


Sure, but these apps are slower, take longer to start, and don’t handle multiple windows.

The browser experience is 10x better


And demands are: release the game before Christmas! Otherwise they will do it for them


What are they going to play it on as most GTA fans I know are console people.


I guess Sony needs to look out too :D


Nice attempt, but too slow for me


Hey. OP here - which part of boringBar did you find slow? Is it the time it takes to hover on a window to show its thumbnail? Or is it something else you think needs improvement?


So Apple’s AI acceleration and memory architecture is accidental, but nvidia’s is not?


Nvidia has research papers on accelerating Machine Learning as far back as 2014: https://research.nvidia.com/publications?f%5B0%5D=research_a...


Apple's website from 2017 https://machinelearning.apple.com/research?page=1&sort=oldes...

That's also the year where they released on-chip acceleration for certain things, so they probably started a year or 2 before working on that tech? Not as accidental as assumed.


Apple's Neural Engine from 2017 is an NPU that's basically obsolete today in light of Metal Compute Shaders. It was accidental, and Apple is redesigning their GPU architecture to subsume it.

CUDA on the other hand continues to be relevant, and the compute capabilities from 2014 are still instrumental for accelerating training and acceleration workloads.


Norton Commander always had a permanent command prompt at the bottom. The active pane mandates the CWD. It was not just for browsing and copying some dir structure. Viewing, editing, unzipping, shell.
