What if enemy or some anti-ai activities or etc attack it? How to protect it? It's just a too easy target.
It's just a dumbest idea ever if Elon truly believes it. I'm pretty sure he doesn't.

i havent seen anyone else mention it so i will. privacy.apple.com lets you export your apple data similar to google takeout
That's the worst service I've ever seen. It asks you the size of each zip file and I said 50G at first. And I couldn't download it because the connection was so unstable. No way to resume it and every 20~30 mins, it failed in the middle. Chrome, firefox, safari were all the same. I tried from a GCE VM as well to see if that's my network problem but didn't help.
I had to request again with 2G and I was able to download files finally. But only one by one. And after download 3~5 files, I had to login again as their login expires so frequently.
I had to do that for days and the download got expired. Oh my god. I had to request it again. And you know what? Their file list wasn't deterministic. I had to download from the beginning. lol
I finally made it and I swear I will never use any cloud service from apple.
> He told me that he had worked to develop a tool that would replace effectively all of the middle management function that he was responsible for: gathering information from folks below him, distilling it down and reporting that to people above him.
Any manager whose job was this simple was on borrowed time anyway.
I think the person was feeding you a story around the campfire to impress you. Real management work doesn't operate like this.

I agree but in the opposite direction. So many managers not only doing that but doctoring, filtering and tainting it as well. So AI would be more effective for the most of bad managers.

Even at just 43" it still weighed 450lbs. I bought a 27" CRT some years ago and even that was a nightmare to transport
I remember I had a 27inch crt on my desk. The desk top bended after a humid rainy season so I had to fix it by adding multiple metal supports.
dialogbox commented on Google releases its new Google Sans Flex font as open source omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/11/g... · Posted by u/CharlesW
Where possible, I've stopped picking fonts that don't distinguish lowercase l and uppercase I. Words virtually always have redundancy (or context in the sentence) and it's fine in 98% of cases, but too often someone sends a token, password, name, or other string where you need to copy it out to another application to see it and just... why? Why bother?
I/O test for Sans Flex: https://snipboard.io/wXCQq5.jpg
It passes the O0 distinction but not the Il one
Example of a font that passes, Ubuntu: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Ubuntu?preview.text=10%20I... (custom license but looks similar to GPL in that you can do what you want besides relicensing it as proprietary or removing credits)
Another one, Nunito Sans, using the Open Font License: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Nunito+Sans?preview.text=1...
IBM Plex Sans is another Open Font License option: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/IBM+Plex+Sans?preview.text... (it has an unusual capital Q style though)
I also agree with you on the O0 I'll distinctions importance. So as google open-source it, someone can improved it freely.

I think the idea is that instead of spending an additional $4000 on external hardware, you can just buy one thing (your main work machine) and call it a day. Also, the Mac Studio isn’t that much cheaper at that price point.
> Also, the Mac Studio isn’t that much cheaper at that price point.
In the list price, it's 1000 USD cheaper. 3,699 vs 4,699 I know a lot can be relative but that's a lot for me for sure.
An 14-inch M4 Max Macbook Pro with 128GB of RAM has a list price of $4700 or so and twice the memory bandwidth.
For inference decode the bandwidth is the main limitation so if running LLMs is your use case you should probably get a Mac instead.
Why Macbook Pro? Isn't Mac Studio is a lot cheaper and the right one to compare with DGX Spark?

It's not comparable to any data center.
