Yeah, I have a GPU from almost six years ago in my desktop that has twice that much VRAM. Less than a year ago my wife got a 5070 Ti with the same for around $750 without needing to wait for it to be in stock or anything. I'm inclined to think that for a server that needs a GPU, even 32 GB would probably be considered small.
There's always the Ruby strategy of just making all the names work. `select` and `filter` are buddies and you can use whichever you want or even go back and forth. Not a fan of `reduce`? That's fine, `inject` has got your back. Miss getting to type `collect` from Java or Rust? Don't worry, just use it instead of `map`, it's the same thing.
It doesn't help that fold/reduce often have different orders depending on the ecosystem. Every few months when I have a reason to reach for `fold` in nutshell I forget that it has the next element as the first arg instead of the second, which is what I'm used to from Rust. I guess I should just be happy I don't need to specify which direction I want like in OCaml.
Not the parent commenter, but I also tried it a year or two ago and my recollection is that I had a similar experience. I have a really long history file that dates back like a decade and if remembering correctly I tried to import it, and it made using my shell very laggy so I ended up removing it. I'm not 100% positive that I'm remembering the exact way that I started experiencing the lag though, so if I have time tomorrow I'll try it out again and see if it's still something I encounter.
I don't feel like either one of you really has a strong claim. "Doesn't appear to" is subjective, and of course it's impossible to prove one way or another.
You're simplifying the exchange a little too much. I said:
> Anthropic doesn't appear to use Claude for blog posts
My claim is literally the lack of evidence, which, yes, can't prove anything. This claim can be contested easily by showing evidence that they in fact, do appear to be using Claude to write prose in blog posts.
They said:
> Anthropic _absolutely_ does
Sounds pretty certain Anthropic is in fact, using Claude to write blog posts. Enough to emphasize "absolutely". That doesn't read like "I'm going off of vibes", that reads like "I can prove it". So, fine. Prove it. I don't believe it, and I want to hear the proof.
I'm skeptical, but it wouldn't be my first time being wrong. But flatly, if you make claims with this kind of certainty, yes I want to hear your proof.
My point in saying "Even Anthropic doesn't appear to be using Claude for blog posts" was not meant to be some striking revelation, I literally was considering it a prior to make another point. This on the other hand sure does sound like a striking revelation to me, that a lot of people across the Internet would be curious to hear. Like I'm sure these people would be interested:
I will admit that I am unnecessarily aggressive sometimes, but I wouldn't have changed my response much in any case. If you're going to make a strong claim like this, I want your evidence, not your vibes. Otherwise, the claim should be a lot weaker.
I also realize that this sort of brashness upsets HN a bit, but it is what it is. I pandered comments for votes in my 20s a bit, time to grow up, sometimes people won't like you. Sometimes I feel something deserves a brash response.
I don't really have any opinion on your tone; I just still don't agree with your framing. A lack of evidence would be neutral like "there's no evidence to indicate either possibility is more likely", but your phrasing conveyed that one possibility was more likely than the other. I pushed back against your follow-up because it seemed like you were arguing for a higher threshold of evidence than you provided.
Well, to be fair, you're correct. I am asking for a higher threshold of evidence. It's a stronger claim. I feel a stronger claim deserves stronger evidence.
Yeah, I distro-hopped for a few years during the tail end of my college days and the first year or two after, but at this point I've been running the same Arch installation for close to a decade (literally migrating it to new hardware by setting up the same partition structure and rsyncing everything over). It hasn't felt like work to use Linux pretty much since I stopped reinstalling, while Windows and MacOS feel like they get harder to use every time I have to.
