I've been using it almost every day for Mac Virtual display, for about 1.5 years now. I don't have any other use case for it.

this seems like the killer app. how long do you comfortably wear it? do you take it off for breaks?

Time to upgrade m1 ultra I guess! M1 ultra has been pretty good with deepseek locally.
_alex_ · 10 months ago
what flavor of deepseek are you running? what kind of performance are you seeing?

apple keeps talking about the Neural Engine. Does anything actually use it? Seems like all the current LLM and Stable Diffusion packages (including MLX) use the GPU.

Interesting that they’re releasing M3 Ultra after the M4 Macs have already shipped.

I wonder if the plan is to only release Ultras for odd number generations.

I'm surprised that there are new language specific hosting services like this cropping up. It just seems like the wrong level of abstraction, particularly for frameworks like this. Infrastructure makes sense at a few levels of abstraction...

- Servers you can run what you like on – VMs, bare metal, etc.

- Containers that you can put what you like in, but which run in some system you don't control – Kubernetes, ECS, even things like Heroku are here now.

- Language specific micro-plugins, where a small piece of code is hosted in a common server process – AWS Lambda, Cloudflare workers, all the FaaS stuff. These are sometimes language specific, but I expect them to align on WASM.

Being PHP and Laravel specific doesn't really fit any of these, it's a model that sort of existed around the early Heroku days, but seemed to lose out to first Heroku and its generic buildpack system, and then eventually to containers.

What happens when a team wants to add a little Node process for some frontend thing? Do they need to move their entire hosting? Who is the target audience of a provider like this, and perhaps more importantly, can they stay with a provider like this for very long?

_alex_ commented on Cuttle – a MTG like game using a standard 52 card deck   pagat.com/combat/cuttle.h... · Posted by u/7thaccount

There's so many games that can be played with a 52 card deck, many years ago I tried to do a sort of battle game but I ended up giving up. It had to do with formations of cards but it's very difficult to create a card game that is balanced and fun!

This game seems super interesting so I'll be adding it to my ever growing collection of standard card deck games.

Thank you!

If I recall correctly this is because someone found an infinite money glitch and used a credit card that had a big cash back. So he would buy the bills then deposit into his bank account and pay of his credit cards. So now they increased the price to more than the face value.

I'm out of the loop, why should he not be listened to? I know who he is. Going to take a guess: he's overpromised and undelivered on ETH?

In theory that sounds awesome and I love the idea of ZKP. However, they have quite some overhead that defeats such applications, I think.
