@curiousbeing13 Yeah the disdain for paying people according to their contribution (actually less of course) is clear

Software engineers will not be trusted to spend 50% of their salary on variable opex costs with no guarantee of productivity, unless they are executive level. this is a pipe dream to sell GPUs

Jensen Huang: "If that $500,000 engineer did not consume at least $250,000 worth of tokens, I am going to be deeply alarmed. This is no different than a chip designer who says 'I'm just going to use paper and pencil. I don't think I'm going to need any CAD tools.'"

@EERandomness Then they aren’t senior any more as they are the bottom of the ladder

@edandersen Why not? It is no different than senior developers managing junior developers. The AI just replaces the junior devs.

@edandersen @chucker Counterpoint: FFmpeg is free. It contains handwritten assembly written by wizards. It is, famously, not garbage, despite costing nothing!

So the Macbook Pro M5 Pro running Windows on ARM in a Parallels virtual machine (32GB / 8 Cores) is FASTER than a Surface Pro 11 Snapdragon X (12 cores) in single core and just as fast multicore. Macbook Pro is basically the best Windows ARM machine available, AND in a VM

@edandersen This is all a scam at this point, there is no value case and even Goldman said there is zero impact.

@edandersen I am an L7 and the token cost of the agents I have written for the org is probably close to $ 100k/year. That is barely even an employee.

@MightyMogomra Why do something in 2 minutes yourself when you could watch an agent click around for 30 minutes and maybe get it wrong

@edandersen I dunno if I could make productive use of all that compute I get 99% of the benefit from just having grok shit out boilerplate code for me that I copy and paste over manually. All these agent workflows seem to just be a way to imitate productivity while surfing the web

@OpenInternetFan I agree the pricing is outrageous. If you are okay with worse graphics support then VMware fusion is free

@edandersen If you can buy Parallels professional version with more than 4 or 8 GB RAM for a fee rather than a subscription then it might be useful. But I don’t want to pay a yearly fee to run a Windows laptop.

@IanjosephK A comparison with a chip that isn’t out yet? What’s the most “powerful” windows on arm chip available in a laptop today if it’s not the snapdragon x?

@edandersen As someone who’s getting basically that config soon, I would caution with real-world performance in a VM. Not sure what’s to blame, but I/O(?) seems to drag down a Windows on macOS via Parallels setup a fair bit.
