Not really. Using a device manufactured by an adversary-owned entity defeats the sole purpose of MDM. Your data isn't safe within an OS compiled by a Chinese company that "originated as an offshoot of a state-owned research institute." [1] There are so many layers where a backdoor could be hidden within the stack.

I don't think Big Tech or any companies that take data security seriously would accept such a device.

Off the top of my head:

Yesterday, my wife wanted to use Discord. It was right there in the applications folder. But MacOS couldn't find it. Launching it manually took minutes, for some reason.

We wanted to download a clip using yt_dlp (a Python program). Terminal told us, this would require dev tools, which it doesn't. So we installed Python from python.org instead, which worked. Except, that non-blessed python could not access the internet because of some MacOS "security" feature.

Another security feature requires all apps to be notarized, even the ones I built myself. This used to have a relatively easy workaround (right click, open, accept the risk). Now it needs a terminal command.

I live and work in a multi-lingual environment, and have set up a keyboard shortcut to switch between the German and English keyboard. MacOS does not have a keyboard shortcut for this. But Karabiner can do it, albeit a bit jankily.

Lately, the keyboard layout no longer sticks. It resets to English when I press shift. Sometimes it does work, sometimes it doesn't. This is unrelated to the aforementioned Karabiner shortcut.

The German keyboard layout for MacOS on non-Apple keyboards is insane. So I made my own layout. This is relatively easy, and worked well. Except, every single OS update reinstates Apple's insane layout.

Sometimes my Mac does not wake from sleep. Pressing the power button does nothing. Hitting keyboard keys does nothing. Only a long-press of the power button eventually reboots it. The power button on the Mac Studio is in an insane place of course.

There is still no indication anywhere that the hard drive is getting full.

There is still no simple way to reset the computer to factory conditions.

Gaming is still largely impossible, even though the hardware is very capable.

I have replaced TimeMachine with restic, as TimeMachine keeps resetting itself after a while.

My Linux PC should arrive this week, and will replace the Mac. I've had enough.

It will require wine for two apps, and a VM for two others. At this point, that's a price I'm willing to pay.

> Maybe they could have started with rust and added on what they needed

Unlikely, I think, because of timelines. Swift’s first public release was in June 2014. Rust is a few years older (first public release in January 2012), but that wasn’t the rust we have today. It still had garbage collection, for example (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(programming_language)#20...)

Out of an abundance of caution, please talk with AMCHAM, and a local tax lawyer first. In most cases, founders almost always want to form a type C corporate entity within their largest trading state.

People often do whatever they like, but whether it is locally legal is not a YOLO/LLM matter. Best of luck =3

It's different because there's no lawsuit if the judge doesn't allow it to go forward, so the defendant never gets served, they don't have to hire a lawyer, and don't have to deal with the stress.

She might lose a lawsuit in summary dismissal, but the defendant is going to be out thousands of dollars by the time that happens. Anyway, the goal was never to go to court in any of her filings. What she wanted was to bully people into paying a settlement, since that meant she didn't have to pay any court fees.

> Presumably PRC and Russia were supporting this industry either directly

Not during development/early phases, they were created during time where sanctions were somewhat enforced. Debris analysis of earlier models show they were full of western COTs parts, including stripped components, i.e. think RU breaking washing machine for chips. Incidentally they were also fairly expensive, 4 digits, for otherwise a rudimentary - though elegantly simple form factor. At least given sanction constraints and relative to what Iran industrial base can muster at relative scale.

Realistically the BOM for one of these things should be low $1000s if value engineered by competent industrial power like PRC. Who has contract to acquire 1m loitering munitions/drones this/next year. There's have factories that can churn millions of of engines per year, i.e. 10s of 10000s of 1500-2500km fires per day.

> That's because they haven't came out with another small iPhone in more than four years.

They also haven't come out with another iPhone with a headphone jack, yet no one kept using those.

I get what you're saying, but what I think is that the average mini buyer is inherently someone (on average!) who changes their phone a lot less often. They're less likely to be glued to their phones. Bigger phones = more infinite scroll addiction, and so on. Apple doesn't want to cater to the mini buyers.

> It’s an absolute fact that the left are the people criticizing and protesting Israel

That's true, and I never said otherwise.

Many Jews criticize Israel as well. Are they antisemites?

As I already said, protesting Israel (in particular, the policies of its government) does not make a person anti-Jew, any more than criticizing American policy makes w person anti-American.

You conflate ethnic hate with principled opposition to particular unjust policies. Just like Trump, your orange god, you think that anyone who disagrees with you must be driven by irrational rage, rather than principles.

I didn't say fans, I said fans. Fans are people that make baseless claims online thinking they are smarter than everyone else while accomplishing nothing worthwhile. Fans have brought us things like AVISynth and the plugins available for it. Only a fanatic would suffer with VfW like that. There's also aegisub, ASS files, and many other tools. We'll just ignore the prolific pirating and a now major anime streaming platform that started off of using fan subs.

Thats how I read it as well. The deeper issue is that he shouldn’t even be able to contact them when they deemed her lucid enough to not be eligible just a day earlier, especially when they were keen enough to notice he was burned out.

Separately, why do these services have to move so quickly? It seems like it’s either glacially slow in other countries where people pass before even finishing the paperwork, or insanely fast like in this case. There really should be a balance.

> The apportionment between states gives small right-leaning states outsized representation in both the house and senate relative to their proportion of the national population.

That's not a bad thing. The bad thing happened when the Democrats decided to alienate those areas and lost them. You may forget, but a lot of those "small right-leaning states" were solid blue until relatively recently. For instance 100% of North Dakota's congressional delegation was Democratic until ~2010, Iowa was the quintessential purple state, the Senate majority leader was from South Dakota (but unlike today he was a Democrat), and I could go on.

> You shouldn’t need to

... but you do more often that the quick & dirty approach really allows.

I was just watching the Veritasium episode on the XZ tools hack, which was in part caused by poor tooling.

The attacker purposefully obfuscated his change, making a bunch of "non-changes" such as rearranging whitespace and comments to hide the fact that he didn't actually change the C code to "fix" the bug in the binary blob that contained the malware payload.

You will miss things like this without the proper tooling.

I use IDEs in a large part because they have dramatically better diff tools than CLI tools or even GitHub.

> you’ve cracked the code on the best workflow

I would argue that the ideal tooling doesn't even exist yet, which is why I don't believe that I've got the best possible setup nailed. Not yet.

My main argument is this:

Between each keypress in a "fancy text editor" of any flavour, an ordinary CPU could have processed something like 10 billion instructions. If you spend even a minute staring at the screen, you're "wasting" trillions of possible things the computer could be doing to help you.

Throw a GPU into the mix and the waste becomes absurd.

There's an awful lot the computer could be doing to help developers avoid mistakes, make their code more secure, analyse the consequences of each tiny change, etc...

It's very hard to explain without writing something the length of War & Peace, so let me leave you with a real world example of what I mean from a related field:

There's two kinds of firewall GUIs.

One kind shows you the real-time "hit rate" of each rule, showing packets and bytes matched, or whatever.

The other kind doesn't.

One kind dramatically reduces "oops" errors.

The other kind doesn't. It's the most common type however, because it's much easier to develop as a product. It's the lazy thing. It's the product broken down into independent teams doing their own thing: the "config team" doing their thing and the "metrics" team doing theirs, no overlap. It's Conway's law.

IDEs shouldn't be fancy text editors. They should be constantly analysing the code to death, with AIs, proof assistants, virtual machines, instrumentation, whatever. Bits and pieces of this exist now, scattered, incomplete, and requiring manual setup.

One day we'll have these seamlessly integrated into a cohesive whole, and you'd be nuts to use anything else.

... one day.

> You can’t get anything in society without identification

Statements like this show that you are living in a bubble with little connection to people outside your immediate social circle. LOTS of people don't have government ID of any kind, much less one that proves citizenship (basically birth certificate or passport). About half of Americans don't have a passport. Do you carry around your birth certificate with you?

You should really get out of your comfortable suburban bubble, turn off Fox News, and talk to actual poor people. Your misinformation about basic facts is leading you to support dumb policies.

> To pretend every single thing in society is so important to be gated by ID, except voting, is insanity.

But yet you're willing to disenfranchise millions of Americans of their constitutional right to vote, in order to stop the crisis of in-person voter fraud that doesn't exist. That it is conflict with the ideals of this country.

Meanwhile, I bet you're totally fine with Trump's plan to illegally federalize voting, because the Constitution means literally nothing to you

In Western Europe this is also quite pronounced.

In Białystok, Poland, solar noon is at 11:39.
In Vigo, Spain, it's at 13:46, .

Being in favor of all-year DST (more sun in the evening is just nice), nice to see that those lucky Spaniards already have it and then some.

Whatever the preference for the permanent time, abandoning the switching should be advocated by the software industry. I've yet to work at a company where there are no bugs related to switching the clock. Those bugs have ranged from harmless to pretty severe.

Negatives can be falsified.

“There are no black swans.“

A negative, that can be falsified by a single black swan.

You are mixing up another kind of argument. Claiming there are elephants in the room we cannot see or touch is an example of an unfalsifiable claim.

In fact, claiming there is a quantum collapse, which always looks just like the field equations without a quantum collapse, would make collapse an unfalsifiable theory.

(I don’t believe most proponents of collapse are making that claim.)

All they had to do was write a clear and simple message saying that one of their staff was responsible, has been fired, and they'll take steps to avoid this in future.

Their actions so far just make me think they're panicking and found a scapegoat to blame it on, but they're not going to put any new checks in place so it'll just happen again.

"This is a key point. The focus on those issues is probably the only reason the plutocrat/big business Republicans even have a chance."

The right spends *far* more money and airtime on these issues than democrats actually do: https://abcnews.com/US/trump-spends-millions-anti-trans-ads-...

In other words, it is largely a moral panic manufactured by the right. If democrats give in, the right will concoct a new one, ad infinitum, until democrats and republicans are indistinguishable.

You should be checking the links more often, IMO. I've seen it respond a number of times with content that is not supported by the citations.

While trying to find an example by going back through my history though, the search "linux shebang argument splitting" comes back from the AI with:

> On Linux and most Unix-like systems, the shebang line (e.g.,
#!/bin/bash ...) does not perform argument splitting by default. The entire string after the interpreter path is passed as a single argument to the interpreter.

(that's correct) …followed by:

> To pass multiple arguments portably on modern systems, the env command with the -S (split string) option is the standard solution.

(`env -S` isn't portable. IDK if a subset of it is portable, or not. I tend to avoid it, as it is just too complex, but let's call "is portable" opinion.)

(edited out a bit about the splitting on Linux; I think I had a different output earlier saying it would split the args into "-S" and "the rest", but this one was fine.)

> Note: The -S option is a modern extension and may not be available

But this, … which is it.

I have been using anthropic almost exclusively for a year, while trying other models, and this has literally never happened. I have NEVER experienced a downtime event. At most a random error in a chat but that is immediately solved on the subsequent request. I use the desktop app, the mobile app, the api with several apps in production that I monitor and reliability has never been an issue.

I pay about $1500 per month on personal api use fyi.

Please relearn to use your brain.

I cannot imagine how you can properly supervise an LLM agent if you can't effectively do the work yourself, maybe slightly slower. If the agent is going a significant amount faster than you could do it, you're probably not actually supervising it, and all kinds of weird crap could sneak in.

Like, I can see how it can be a bit quicker for generating some boilerplate, or iterating on some uninteresting API weirdness that's tedious to do by hand. But if you're fundamentally going so much faster with the agent than by hand, you're not properly supervising it.

So yeah, just go back to coding by hand. You should be doing tha probably ~20% of the time anyhow just to keep in practice.

> Terms like "hidden" and "see everything" are in a title are clickbait.

The one containing "hidden" is the one you apparently changed it to originally - I don't think GP can, nor has any reason to - so you initially changed it to.. clickbait?

It seems a serious reach to call "see everything" clickbait.

> First-ever in-utero stem cell therapy for fetal spina bifida repair is safe, study finds

Currently 9th on the front page, is "is safe" also clickbait, since surely it's not 100.0% safe, just like with "see everything" it's surely not every single frame?

The large number of replies this renaming got in a short timeframe is because it's not in line with what we're used to when it comes to title changes on HN.

I'm well aware that the internet is overwhelmingly a psyop. I brought up 4chan because of just how absurd, influential and successful its manipulation has been. It shit-tier meme'd its way to a presidency and multiple worldwide movements that culminated in a subsequent insurrection, all the while being incredibly, well, dumb.

The fact that we have people goosestepping to MSpaint frog meme flags and mass shooters doing it for the lulz shows how stupid things can get and will continue to be.

Multiply that by x10000 and that's the vision for the future: memelords stamping on a human face forever at the behest of the Ministry of Memes.

It really depends on your interests: I use daylight for sports after work, really like being able to surf until 22:30 midsummer (52 degrees), so DST works for me. On the other hand, also don't mind the switching between wintertime and summertime, it's just like a minor jetlag we all have no problem with when going on holiday.

Since these parts mostly seem to be laser cut acrylic (so mostly 2D), it seems like solvespace would do a good job at cranking out the designs. I haven't used it for a larger project like this though, maybe it was already considered.

Thank you. Sounds like things have not improved in the Apple land since I made my purchase. I just wonder what the "normal" fan level is like. Sure, if I load up an LLM locally and talk to it for a while, I can get my M1 Max to spin fans audibly, but I have to really be determined to do that. I also own a 2024 HP Spectre laptop. Fan noise starts the moment I press the power button and doesn't stop until it shuts down. So I suppose my question here is not so much how loud the Windows competition is at some heavy workload task, but is it "fanless" for most / all daily tasks just like my M1 Max is in practice. I spend a lot of time compiling Rust code - zero noise.

I appreciate that price is a concern, but for me it's a secondary concern. Not that I am loaded or anything, with the Macbook I am confident I will be using the device for 5+ years. Being very sensitive to noise, I'd rather pay up than be upset for the next few years.

this might be controversial and a sign of growing up in America, but i think its a lot like people preferring Celsius over Fahrenheit. I don't care if water boils and freezes at exactly 100 and 0 degrees, it's easy to know its state by looking at it. But its very easy to understand what temp differences will feel like between 90, 70, 50 degrees F etc compared to 31, 22, and 4 degrees C.

The more I think about it the less sure I am if I would prefer a permanent switch to be standard or daylight time. On one hand I really dislike winter months and work starting in complete darkness. So always enjoy the time change and mornings soon after feeling brighter.
But on the other hand come summer I really love getting off work and going to the beach. So I will have more sun hours this way which is big. I really thought they would split the difference and just go 30 minutes but guess that would be challenging for many reasons.

I agree with your first point - but Meta and other organizations don't really have to act in a socially acceptable manner at their scale. Creating laws at least opens the door to legal action to keep them in line.

My last two bullets intentionally walked the line on stalking and spoke to some of the arguments law enforcement have attempted to use to nefariously surveil the public without a warrant [0].

I also have a difficult time jamming 'right to forget' through the first amendment protections in the United States but it does provide some protection/agency to individuals to protect their identity.

Also remember, using claude to code might make the company you're working for richer. But you are forgetting your skills (seen it first hand), and you're not learning anything new. Professionally you are downgrading. Your next interview won't be testing your AI skills, keep that in mind.

This rings true, as I’ve noticed that with every new model update, I’m leaving behind full workflows I’ve built. The article is really great, and I do admire the system, even if it is overengineered in places, but it already reads like last quarter’s workflow. Now letting Codex 5.3 xhigh chug for 30 minutes on my super long dictated prompt seems to do the trick. And I’m hearing 5.4 is meaningfully better model. Also for fully autonomous scaffolding of new projects towards the first prototype I have my own version of a very simple Ralph loop that gets feed gpt-pro super spec file.
