How much productivity is lost due to Microsoft software?

We have just 2 Windows PCs (2000 and XP), but we have 3 Mac OS X systems and one linux box. I spend so much more time keeping the Windows PCs running properly than all of the other computers together, and by a factor of 2 or 3.

Can you feel my frustration :-(

Really, the best computers are the OS X machines: everything works with minimal administration activities.

I think that the problem with Microsoft Windows is simply that marketing and adding new features is more important than producing stable, relatively secure software.

AI update: The new Deepseek-R1 reasoning language model, Bytedance's Trae IDE, and my new book

 I spent a few days experimenting with Cursor last week. Bytedance's Trae IDE is very similar and is currently free to use with Claude Sonnet 3.5 and GPT-4o:  https://www.trae.ai/home  I would like to use Trae with my own API accounts but currently Bytedance is paying for LLM costs. I have been experimenting with the qwen2.5 and qwen2.5-coder models that easily run on my M2Pro 32G Mac. For reasoning I have been going back to using OpenAI O1 and Claude Sonnet, but after my preliminary tests with Deepseek-R1, I feel like I can do most everything now on my personal computer. I am using:  ollama run deepseek-r1:32b I recently published my new book “ Ollama in Action: Building Safe, Private AI with LLMs, Function Calling and Agents ” that can be read free online at  https://leanpub.com/ollama/read

Wonderful book: "Land of Lisp" - Conrad Barski is a great author and communicator

Image
I have been enjoying Conrad Barski's web based tutorials for years and I recently received his new book Land of Lisp: Learn to Program in Lisp, One Game at a Time! in the mail. I have been writing Lisp code since the late 1970s and in ancient times I wrote two Lisp books for Springer Verlag. To be honest, I just bought the book for enjoyment but I find myself getting a new perspective and learning more about Common Lisp. Recommended! Tweet

I am moving back to the Google platform, less excited by what Apple is offering

I have been been playing with the Apple Intelligence beta’s in iPadOS and macOS and while I like the direction Apple is heading I am getting more use from Google’s Gemini, both for general analysis of very large input contexts, as well as effective integration my content in Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Docs. While I find the latest Pixel phone to be compelling, I will stick with Apple hardware since I don’t want to take the time to move my data and general workflow to a Pixel phone. The iPhone is the strongest lock-in that Apple has on me because of the time investment to change. The main reason I am feeling less interested in the Apple ecosystem and platform is that I believe that our present day work flows are intimately wrapped up with the effective use of LLMs, and it is crazy to limit oneself to just one or two vendors. I rely on running local models on Ollama, super fast APIs from Groq (I love Groq for running most of the better open weight models), and other APIs from Mist...
