This is my experience too. I actually briefly took the cool exciting climate change related science job and then realized that I couldn’t actually support my family’s lifestyle on $160k so I left and went back to surveillance capitalism. I do feel guilt about that decision, but I like to imagine I’ll be able to go back to working on interesting and ethical things after my kids are out of the house.

Following since I just reproduced the crash on my own system (Chrome on Ubuntu)

I hope you run your browser in a sandbox because you might be compromised now.

> people like everything about Go except the language itself.

Thanks for putting so succinctly exactly how I feel about Go!


Ooo, does everywhere in Sugarhouse have access to this now? We've been up in Park City relying on wireless point-to-point but are about to move back down to the valley and that is very exciting.


My version of fizzbuzz (I'm in backend/ML/NLP) is counting how many times each word appears in a string. Literally `return Counter(text.lower().split())` but it's totally fine if you want to do it in a for loop or whatever, as long as you can fluently write an incredibly simple function.

Half of the people I screen fail it. It's crazy.


Does that include VAT? Also the USD has been getting weaker quickly so I wouldn’t be surprised if the differential there is even larger than when they settled on pricing.


> you can get very nice displays for less than half the price that are 98% the same on specs.

Can you recommend any displays with PPI and brightness equivalent to the studio display, with 120Hz+ refresh rates? I was waiting for this announcement to buy a studio display because I thought they might bring 120Hz to the base model, but $3300 is a lot to spend on a single display. I have an original studio display and a high refresh rate 4K OLED monitor, and they are both compromises unfortunately.

I haven't found a glossy competitor, or even one with the same HDR spec, but this is the closest I could find so far.


The price point is super painful. 2k would have been bad enough but I would have considered it. It’s a no go at $3,300 for me.


Do we understand how to scale up the hardware to the point it can run a frontier model? Because this is insane. It will be a game changer for agent systems making 10-100+ calls.


Similar experience for me and at this point it's just a collection of private chats. Different groups use different platforms (mine are on iMessage, Whatsapp, Signal, Slack, and.. actually Messenger although apparently Facebook is taking that away soon). It kind of feels like real-name social media is a failed experiment at this point.


Do you have experience with that model for diarization? Does it feel accurate, and what's its realtime factor on a typical GPU? Diarization has been the biggest thorn in my side for a long time..


You can test it yourself for free on https://console.mistral.ai/build/audio/speech-to-text I tried it on an english-speaking podcast episode, and apart from identying one host as two different speakers (but only once for a few sentences at the start), the rest was flawless from what I could see


Amazing. Thank you.


> Do you have experience with that model

No, I just heard about it this morning.
