@atpfm@mastodon.social @siracusa@mastodon.social I guess I’m kinda slow (despite being a long-time listener and member) — I only got it when he mentioned he was wearing his shorts.

@atpfm@mastodon.social @siracusa@mastodon.social I have the original pixel shirt and it gets some frequent wear. Still looks perfectly good. It’s a good style and I’m glad you guys did it.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social describing how digital watches beep has big “EV driver reviews his first gas engined car” energy 😂 Also, Suunto was founded 90 years ago and their first GPS watch was 2012 (I swear my Ambit was way older but I guess not). @atpfm@mastodon.social

@atpfm@mastodon.social @siracusa@mastodon.social A new level of cringe has literally been written. Marcos little powerful letter — “You guys are cool. Please increase my app revenue. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.”

@atpfm@mastodon.social a few additional random watch thoughts for @marcoarment@mastodon.social * totally correct that Garmin/suunto/etc are terrible smartwatches * I think he oversells the “everyone has an Apple Watch charger” thing. Yeah they’re more common but still weird and obscure and uncommon. Just less so than others. * Garmin has a uniquely weird navigation/ui but it makes so much sense when you’re used to it and they’ve been doing it so long that it’s kind of their own language. * Garmin in particular have their own ecosystem- if you think using an Apple Watch for running activities is bad, imagine using it for serious cycling. A lot of Garmin people will have a Garmin watch and also a Garmin bike computer, and there’s a lot of synergy in the app there. And they have features Apple won’t touch. Because I hate myself I use Apple phones and computers, a Garmin watch, and a Wahoo bike computer. 😂

@atpfm@mastodon.social @siracusa@mastodon.social @marcoarment@mastodon.social your comment on NY state essentially taking what it wants, reminded me of this great video from Grey, back in 2018: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgZ1f4ACZBQ

@atpfm@mastodon.social @siracusa@mastodon.social If you moved your photo library, and maybe some other content, to an external drive, would you still need an 8TB internal drive? For a laptop where external drives aren't always connected, sure... but a fixed desktop, isn't it a reasonable tradeoff?

@atpfm@mastodon.social @siracusa@mastodon.social re:LLMs and deterministic outputs, your overall point stands, but I don't think JSON is a good example anymore - JSON is a great fit for constrained decoding, where you can deterministically force the model to only select tokens such that the output is not only valid JSON, but adherent to a specific schema. no try/retry needed! - see: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/structured-outputs https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/structured-outputs

@atpfm@mastodon.social @siracusa@mastodon.social I'm not sure if your comparison is sufficient. "Unified Memory" is mostly marketing. I feel there are 3 models (2 & 3 blur together): 1) dGPU: CPU and GPU have separate pools of separate physical memory. [all dGPU] 2) iGPU (not unified): CPU and GPU have driver-dependant partially separate (sometimes configurable) pools of memory on the same physical memory [x86 iGPU] 3) iGPU (unified): CPU and GPU have a shared pool of memory on the same physical memory. [Apple Silicon]

@atpfm@mastodon.social @Marco@mastodon.social while the proprietary cables on Garmin are nuisance, if you loose one, for charging it’s irrelevant given how long the battery lasts, unlike the Apple Watch. This is key also, and I have not listened to you talk about it, because of sleep tracking. Sleep tracking/recovery is key for sports and health purposes. I have never done sleep tracking on my Apple Watch for almost 10 years. I never take my Garmin off my wrist except for charging which is at most once a week.I run/bike a lot.

@atpfm@mastodon.social @siracusa@mastodon.social regarding looking at the internals of the discussion with the agent, you can check OpenCode, the OSS alternative to ClaudeCode. Famously you cannot use it with your ClaudeCode plan (and will get banned for it), but it can connect it any other model provider (even the one redistributing Claude models). This is why we use it at work using a mix of Copilot and Bedrock//Vertex. If you open the context details window, you will see ALL messages exchanged with the model. And those are stored in a local SQLite DB. We built tools at work to read that DB and assess the cost of features and find efficient patterns.

@atpfm@mastodon.social @siracusa@mastodon.social speaking of Jobs’ reluctance to go along with standard business convention, I remember talking with a senior McKinsey partner who met Steve Jobs once in 2005 or so. He introduced himself “I’m XXXXXXX from McKinsey, here’s my card”. Jobs looked at him and just said “I’m Steve Jobs, I don’t have a card”.

@atpfm@mastodon.social When @siracusa@mastodon.social described unified memory, I realized that we have come full circle. Early microcomputers, certainly including the Commodore 64, had indeed also unified memory 😅 On the ‘64, you could change the beginning of the screen memory; if you set it to zero, you would be able to watch an illustration of some of the OS area, for instance the system clock.
