it's the commercial unix desktop that has commercial app support, cool looking hardware and great power optimizations that lead to great battery life. (also in the ai era, unified memory is pretty awesome)
personally i choose linux (kde) desktops and laptops where allowed because they've just gotten so good (and seem to only be getting better), but i get it.
honestly though i think it's a little sad. the execution just isn't where it used to be and honestly i think the modern macos experience is kinda trash. i would really like to pick one up and be like "oh wow this is so cool everything is so refined if i wasn't so bothered about needing vms and docker for everything i'd consider this" but instead it's more like "wow this is kinda old and crufty and weird and not all that great to be honest i miss kde it's more refined"
Not the OP, but I’m assuming they meant end-to-end-encryption.
The company (customer) would be able to see their chats, but the provider (Dock) would not. I don’t think you’d need to have the encryption on a per-user level, but you could. The main point being that the customer’s chats would only be visible to them, not Dock. It would make some features more difficult though, namely search.
I’m not sure it’s entirely required, but I’d expect it as an option in the non-free tiers.
e2ee makes it hard to do things like “search” which is important for working with teams. For personal messengers usually search is all on device w an encrypted index, once an org grows beyond 50 people that sort of thing breaks down.
it'll be exciting when someone finally demonstrates fully integrated, seamless and low-friction e2ee in a real-world application that is competitive in features and ease of use to traditional counterparts. i believe it would be challenging to get right, but is possible.
my guess is that they are probably drowning in traffic since claude code really took off over the break and are now doing everything they can to reduce traffic and keep things up.
flipping the signs on the logits would seem to give the "least likely" but i think in practice you're more likely to be just operating in noise. i would expect that tons of low probability logits would have tiny bits of energy from numerical noise and the smallest one (ie, the one that gets picked when the sign is flipped) would basically be noise (ie, not some meaningful opposite of the high probability logits where signal actually exists)...
it's really good these days. nvidia finally fixed their drivers (i suppose all it took was becoming the richest company on earth), kde is really nicely polished and all the friction from the x11 to wayland transition is over (at least from my perspective of an end user of linux desktops).
it's remarkably stable and reliable and way less annoying than modern windows or macos. i'm looking forward to a panther lake thinkpad with robust linux support and incredible battery life.
laserdiscs were a weird 70s/80s analog optical video disc technology where many players had a db-9 (edit: just looked these up, apparently they had a db-25 connector) serial port for a serial control protocol. dragon's lair was a classic stand up video game cabinet with a laserdisc player and a simple control system that created a "choose your own adventure" interface for the video content.
some of the first computer programs i ever wrote were atari st programs for controlling a laserdisc player. (we had one in elementary school)
