Yeah I was gonna say I use Colima with Apple’s virtualization framework (it’s not the default for some reason but it’s a single command line flag), and found it works better than QEMU (better performance and resolved some bugs I was running into with the Supabase docker stack)

What movie was it? There’s a good chance I can find it.

If you’re in Reddit, there’s also a subreddit dedicated specifically to this kind of thing (requests for stuff that is no longer available) called /r/DHExchange


How about a non-vhs rip of Einstein's brain?

I did some searching. I assume you mean “Relics: Einstein's Brain (1994)”? If so, it doesn’t look like it was ever released on anything but VHS, so I only found a TV recording and a VHS recording.

That iMac should easily run Linux, why not install it? Also I don’t know what else to call hardware that’s still working great 14 years later except for longevity…


I’ve been programming since well before LLMs and I never learned well from programming books. It just wasn’t the right format for me. I always learned by picking a project at the edge of my ability and just going for it, looking things up as needed and solving problems as I came across them.

I had tried learning from books when I was younger and that was the reason I thought for years that I couldn’t learn to program. Turns out books just aren’t for me (I love reading in general, just not to learn programming).


I keep hearing this statement, and it always makes me wonder if people have actually used Grok…

I have a Claude Max plan I use for coding, but I also have a Grok Lite plan I use for web search type tasks (similar to Perplexity) because I like how the Grok harness handles searches and I don’t need a SOTA model for that use case. I’d never pay $30/mo for a full SuperGrok account but to me it’s worth the $10/mo for Lite as I was hitting limits on the free tier.

I’ve never noticed it to be particularly biased at least for anything I’ve been searching for on it. And on the other side, I’ve never noticed it to be particularly less censored or anything compared to other models either (also a claim I’ve heard a lot about Grok but I think because it is/was part of their marketing).


Did you miss all the Mechahitler, woke mind virus, white genocide, Musk could beat Tyson, stuff?

Its plausibly not in the API and only on the twitter bot, but I see no reason to trust x.ai given this history of obvious manipulation.


I don’t really use Twitter so I’ve never used it via the bot, I’ve only ever used it via the web app.

I bounced back and forth between Grok and Perplexity for web search type tasks and at least for the moment am preferring Grok mostly because it seems to perform more searches and check more results per query vs Perplexity and their $10/mo plan covers my usage vs $20 for Perplexity Pro.

However I’m not married to any LLM service and will switch to another one the moment I get better results from it.

At least in my usage I haven’t noticed any obvious bias, but I don’t really search for politically related stuff so maybe I just haven’t seen it.


Looks very similar to IINA in design (to be clear I like IINA), so I’ll check it out!


There are some similarities for sure! I also like IINA and have used it extensively in the past. The main additions are the flexible layout, waveform view, shader background, better performance and smaller app size, pitch and effects and bunch of other small things. So even though they can look similar (both have album cover and playlist), the experience is hopefully quite different.


It’s actually extremely useful for DJ’s listening to their music collection. I always miss being able to adjust the bpm when listening to some of my songs that I always play a lot faster or slower than they’re produced.


> Does it mean this is based on customer's sessions?

Yes

> Are they entitled to build knowledge bases for every profession, topic and workflow in the world using customer data?

They certainly believe they are and they’re quite open about it.

It even has a name, Clio. Per their page it’s a “system for privacy-preserving insights into real-world AI use”

Here’s their page on it: https://www.anthropic.com/research/clio


I was in fact not aware of it until seeing your comment, this looks potentially perfect for a tool I’m making that involves financial data. I’m pretty on top of LLM news but I’ve never heard of this company, maybe they need more marketing?


After some searching apparently it means “congestion control algorithm”. Definitely should have been defined in the article, especially since they have a whole section dedicated to explaining what it is.
