Any custom configuration takes a while for them to prepare. I remember my M3 max took 2 or 3 months to a arrive.

Good thing is they only seem to charge when device ships so if an M5 comes along you should be able to cancel the m3 ultra and get the m5.

Geez you just agro the x86 guys.

Have fun reading 40 answers about how discarded Lenovos from 2017 are cheaper and stay idle at 5W. It springs to 3x the power usage of a pi if they do anything with it but who cares about performance per Watt?

It's also very hard to encounter x86 machines that can be powered from PoE.

I'm on mobile so can't easily pull up an example part number, but digital signage controllers can often be PoE powered. They're insanely overpriced new from the actual suppliers, but for hobby projects they can normally be sourced relatively easily on ebay. The trick is that many of the ebay sellers don't bother listing the specs, so you need to first search digital sign cintroller/computer on ebay then look up the spec sheet from the model number.

Another annoyance is that you need to buy a hat for PoE, it seems like an oversight

True for base PoE (802.3af, 15.4W), but if you have PoE+ or greater (802.3at, 30W and up) you can start to power more common PCs - I’m running a couple repurposed Chromeboxes from PoE++ adapters.

I love it but the search and replace sequences are too complicated and then I have no idea how to unselect multiple lines without specifying a line.

My vim muscle memory is too strong and stubborn.

I'm in a similar boat. It's become my primary editor but I still open VSCode everytime I need search-and-replace or an easy git-blame.

For unselect, if I'm understanding correctly, ; will unselect with your cursor at the end of the selection, Alt-; will unselect and move your cursor back to the beginning.

This.

I tried it out for a few days, and I cannot justify spending time on this when I am already very productive with vim/VSCodeVim. Helix is nice in many ways but not worth switching over

There is a nascent industry of AI backed surveillance now so you can be 200% sure a lot of lobbying happened in closed rooms.

And then there are the desperate attempts to cover actual pedophilia from the people in power. I'll never look at a politician or a so called member of the elites the same way again.

The same data will use the same amount of RAM regardless of the CPU architecture.

I noticed that even on my M3 MLX tends to do prefill it a lot faster than llama.cpp and GGML models. Anyone knows how they do it?

I like using AI but I also like writing source code and complex configurations. I've been using it a lot for "give me an example on how to do this" but I'm not a big fan of vibe coding.

And how would you do that without dystopian verification checks?

The reasons why Youtube and Discord are so gung ho on age verification might be because these companies that sell ads and data have a monetary incentive for distinguishing humans from bots for their investors and shareholders.

If I were to chose I'd rather have a bot infested internet than a mass surveillance dystopia.

We had this dystopian thing called PGP Signing Parties ages and ages ago.

I don't like that aspect of OCI containers. You shouldn't be running or building on top of random images made by unknowns.

Convenience beats security every time.
