The performance gap between Apple’s flash and a typical aftermarket NVMe drive in a Windows laptop is more attributable to controller design and integration than to trace length.

The comment was about RAM - what does NVMe have to do with RAM?

Apple can get away with less RAM because their flash storage is fast enough to make swapping barely noticeable. In contrast, most Windows machines incur a significant performance penalty when swapping.

Yeah but why is working for Netflix even sexy? At the end of the day it is almost a telecom.

It's also almost a movie studio.

I mean, maybe it's not, honestly it was the first FAANG that popped in my head as I typed the comment. But for most software engineers working at a place like that even as boring or not sexy as it may have become in SF, they won't ever even get close

First you take a 50 person org. Then (for scale) you hire highly motivated performers who, because they came up in big orgs, are used to using 50 people for three years to do a project six people can do in three to six months. Then you create incentives that make them compete for standing. And the standing also depends on their personal scope (ie headcount).

It is the benchmark error rate, not the benchmark success %, that we actually trip up on.

Going from 85% to 90% is possibly 1/3 fewer errors or even higher, depending on the distribution of work you’re doing.

I get plenty of creepy engagement hacking with claude’s chat too now. Before memory it was better.

You can always turn it off

I want some useful memory but it seems hardcoded to try shoehorn in personal details or tidbits from past conversations into responses. Even if I specifically ask it not to in my personalization prompt.

It is interesting that both "customer support" comments here suggesting "you're just using it wrong" are from very recent accounts with very little karma.

Always, eh?

It is just Google’s business model, and why OpenAI has to do ads better faster.

But you can bet there was more economic foresight going on at Google than OpenAI.

How would you navigate to it if you were not?

My favorite part is that high pressure hydrogen leaks can auto-ignite in air.

These people often never knew in the first place.

There is value in taking a product to market and hardening it, and no one wants to invest in something that requires headcount for cost-savings. They want upside. But if it doesn't require headcount and/or unlocks functions they have to negotiate for, and the AI can keep it online and troubleshoot, that is a different story.

Slack exists in part because ten years ago it was a lot harder for big orgs to make good/modern software.
