Yeah no it didn’t. If you have a fully speced out M3/4 MacBook with enough memory you’re running pretty decent models locally already. But no one is using local models anyway.

If your company can afford fully speced out M3/4 MacBook, then it can also afford cloud AI costs.

Please don't implement WebMCP on your site. Support a11y / accessibility features instead. If browser or LLM providers care they will build to use existing specs meant to health humans better interact with the web.

Or have an a11y standard for MCPs, where they can't show UI elements and have to only respond with text so that Voice Readers could work out of the box.

This would be a game changer, currenly Voice Readers do not work very well with websites and a11y is a clunky set of tags that you provide to elements and users need to move around elements with back/tab and try to make a mental model of what the website looks like. With MCP and Voice chat, it is like talking to a person.

In a real world test you would have a tool call for the LLM which is a bit high level like GoTo(object) and the tool calls another program which identities the objects in frame and uses standard programs to go to that.

Replicating features from existing software has become extremely easy due to AI. I won’t be surprised if open source is able to easily catch up with the bigger products.

The server is probably running Python

It is absolutely the worst time to be a gamer. First it was the GPU prices that went up and NVIDIA started to focus on their enterprise cards more and more RAM prices. I don’t think I’ve seen the price of computer components go up so much.

Who even has mp3s and music files lying around locally anyway. I miss Winamp and want to run it again, but since I mostly use streaming services I can’t anymore

Imagine if historic humans had decided that only hammers are enough. That there is no need for a specialized tool like Scissors, Chisel, Axe, Wrench, Shovel , Sickle and that a hammer and fingers are enough.

Use the tool which is appropriate for the job, it is trivial to write code to use them with LLMs these days and these software are mature enough to rarely cause problems and tools built for a purpose will always be more performant.

> Is there some reason why "global" services aren't replicated across regions?

On AWS's side, I think us-east-1 is legacy infrastructure because it was the first region, and things have to be made replicable.

For others on AWS who aren't AWS themselves: because AWS outbound data transfer is exorbitantly expensive. I'm building on AWS, and AWS's outbound data transfer costs are a primary design consideration for potential distribution/replication of services.

It is absolutely crazy how much AWS charges for data. Internet access in general has become much cheaper and Hetzner gives unlimited AWS. I don't recall AWS ever decreasing prices for outbound data transfer
