The battery has DRM now as stated on the article.
The keyboard was awful but it was more graphically and audibly better than the IBM PC. The "Tandy" graphics mode in old PC games is really PC Jr. graphics mode as Tandy cloned it. Processing powerwise a 286 AT from the same time frame would have been better.

For the home market where the Jr. was aimed it really needed the better graphics and sound to compete with the C64 and the like.
So? That’s probably not that huge of a deal.
Totally, performance for actual useful training etc. is at least a couple of hardware generations away. This is super useful however for people like me who like to use an m1 Mac as their daily driver and don’t always want to have to fire up a remote rig just to sketch a little. Also being able to do some local inference can be great for when building a web GUI, etc.

So absolutely not mature, but having PyTorch working better also on macs is only positive imho.
Battery has DRM now, wow.
If a group of government scientists can deploy devices into the field with waterproof enclosures and replaceable battery banks - it makes me wonder if Apple could do it :P
harshness of aluminum is mostly mythological and based on design of some early aluminum frames due to them being noisy. also 99.9% of compliance comes from tires. people reliably fail to detect frame differences in blind studies as well. even people who are professionals and people who insist the difference is obvious.
You're not wrong. I used to have a phone with a replaceable battery. I replaced the battery after a year. The next year I wanted a better phone anyway. I realized that the battery in my iPhone is replaceable. I just need to pay Apple to do it. It's still way cheaper than buying a new phone, and I benefit from the advantages of having a sealed phone. Within two weeks of buying my iPhone 12, I dropped it in a lake :)
It is paywalled, definitely curious :(
Agree. Our emotions are not adapted for the world we’ve built, yet they almost have superuser access to our physiology and meaning-making. Usually your neocortex follows the emotions and makes stories that support the emotion, and that can be tragic because the emotion often gets stuck on a false alarm.

Getting the neocortex somewhat more in control seems to be a difficult and lifelong (but worthwhile) skill to develop. Witness the lucrative self-help industry for the scale of the problem/opportunity.

I don't use it so I can't comment on this issue myself, but Wayland support for Sunshine seems all but guaranteed: https://github.com/loki-47-6F-64/sunshine/issues/44

Notably, the lack of a mouse cursor is kind of a big deal for remote support situations. You want the user to be able to indicate stuff with the mouse.
The whole Diffusion text to image thing which is hugely popular right now doesn't involve any training. Same for text generation where you download pre-trained models. I'm using a laptop with a 3080 and getting much faster results than I typically get from a paid Colab account (not Pro mind you).
This is a flawed way of looking at things.
> injecting key strokes or mouse input into applications can only be done by even worse hacks.

Hum I don't understand this, I've been injecting key strokes for a decade on any Linux-running system using uinput (which creates a new virtual /dev/input). Is this somehow broken by wayland? (I haven't ever really used wayland, nor do i understand how it works)
'The entire process is wrapped in layers of fraud paranoia, even though the fraud rate is absolutely minuscule.'

When large sums of public money are given to a company, there seems to be implication that the company is better at allocating this money than the government is.
There is the idea that giving money to companies in the form of grants or contracts or even tax rebatea is 'investing in the economy'

However when pennies are given to individuals, this is immediately cause of suspicion and derision. As if individuals upskilling and bettering themselves isn't fundamental to the economy.

Is this like a weired form of self hatred?
Suppose that their diets are equally good for health (which is a big supposition). Suppose a hunter-gatherer and a farmer both get sick with the same thing. Why would the first die and the second not?

Having access to an excess of calories? Doesn't make sense. Yes, agri societies make more food, but people are always starving all the same, because the count of people goes up until you once again have food scarcity.

Yikes.

This is not well-written Rust; code like the below actually defeats the purpose of using Rust, and without any specific reason for doing so.

I personally discourage people from using this software.

static mut KEYBOARD_HOOKED: bool = false;

fn start_keyboard_hook(&self) {
if unsafe { KEYBOARD_HOOKED } {
return;
}
}

The build even requires an assembler (NASM), which is odd, in this context.
BTW, I 100% sympathise with being alone and alien. Alien is an apt description, actually. I came to love the delicious distance, and feeling of otherness. It was a slightly depressive feeling, but very comforting. Not many people can appreciate that, I've found.

Nah, no op code. You just open a regular connection and then terminate it. This forces the TLS server to auth (as the CLI OpenSSL lacks session resumption tickets).
> The patterns I knew and saw with std::optional usually returned "new something", but yeah, you can return a copy too if the class fits in the stack.

Oh, fer crying out loud... It DOES NOT return a copy, it constructs it directly in place. This is called "copy elision" (also known as "return value optimization", or RVO), and has been done by compilers for three decades, and is actually mandated behaviour in modern C++. I don't know where you saw these examples, but you would never use operator new with std::optional: it takes a value, not a pointer.

You have a very annoying style of being wrong about absolutely everything you say, and then acting superior about it when people call you on your bullshit.

> The shepherd who discovered Gobekli Tepe

The article mentions this fellow 5 times exactly like this. His discovery launched the careers of hundreds, generates millions in tourism, and transforms our understanding of Paleolithic human history.

Why not write his name? Does he not deserve historical mention by name like Necmi Karul and Klaus Schmidt?
Strong predictors of good and bad marriage partners do exist, but I'd caution you against making yourself, wife, and children unhappy for thinking the grass will be greener by blowing up your marriage. Divorce courts have seen many a couple who thought they were star crossed lovers bitterly at one another's throats. Human beings all have flaws that become painfully apparent once you move in with them and thr "honeymoon" phase of the relationship is over. If your spouse supports you emotionally, respects you, and is dependable, you have something not so easy to come by. If your kids are grown, maybe you just need some time alone to get away? Talk to her about it.
> yet seemingly trivial to make others happy, if you are keeping an eye out for the opportunity.

Trivial? Would you expand on this? Any examples? Thank you.
Yeah better to put people's lives at risk by depriving them of information in order to potentially avoid stigmatizing someone else, right? Something something right wing violence.

There's no difference to buying a Porsche or Leica — There is one official way to repair them and there's a cheap way. If you're not prepared for the more expensive way, don't buy the thing in the first place.
There’s a fascinating hypothesis about the development of recursive reasoning that’s worth a read. Obviously we don’t have access to the actual language and verbal culture of people back then, but it looks like we might be able to map out some of the cognitive functions they had available to them, and correlate that to the development of material culture, including artistic expression.

From a technical point of view I agree, but I haven't encountered any desktop applications that require Wayland and don't work on X11. It's almost exclusively the other way around in my experience.

I'm sure there are some applications out there that rely on Wayland support, but Wayland is unusable for proper remote tech support without some extensions to the API that Wayland developers don't want to add (notably, the ability to send input to running applications).

There are workarounds (hooking directly into the input system, for example) but those work despite Wayland, not because of it.

I'm willing to go as far as to say that by clicking the "fix me" button, the end user will probably end up fixing more applications than it breaks.
Networking is just like investing in the stock market.

It's the action that your body does , but both are based off the mental task of predicting.

Predicting social , economic and technological trends at the macro level is no different than predicting the reaction of a person you are talking to at the micro level.

And you constantly change your position on an idea or a topic and you can also venture into a different topic just as you would when you go long/short on the stock market, or when you close your position in General Electric to open one in Costco.
What I want is for Apple to allow iFixit to buy OEM batteries, and the battery should come with access to the validation service.

That way, Apple has no liability for the actual repair.

But, as others suggest, I think there is actually a dark pattern at work here.
> which send to/from the terminal whole screenfuls of data at a time, rather than individual characters

3270, and it's derivatives such as 6530, had (have?) a protect mode protocol that sends fields in much the same way as an HTTP post [1]. It doesn't seem to have been used that much on IBM's, probably due to the synchronous write-a-screen-and-wait-for-the-result readline style of programming. However, it was used extensively on the Tandem, which had an asynchronous 3-tier style architecture.

The article says that the argument for teaching poker is not because of memorising the rules, but understanding the concept of risk and making decisions on incomplete information. There's a lot more to chess than the rules also.

Intentions in this situation matter. If you (the parent) want to teach someone to play a game (your children), then why exactly would your intention be to sabotage them to win some fake chips?

I do understand the concern that exposing gambling to kids does not sound like one of the best ideas out there. And i don't think that variance is a topic that will be easily understood by six year olds. But poker is in the gray zone between gambling / not gambling. Meaning that 95% of people who play will lose money. The same percentages can be seen in stock trading. So the question remains, why can some people win in the long, while most lose? (95% is a guesstimate, might be higher)

> Teaching a kids a gambling game in depth seems like it would increase their chance of getting interested in gambling

I'm assuming the same percentage of people with deeper interest in how things work will say the same thing about chess. Or any other game.

Intentions do matter. Explain the problems of gambling in terms of expected value to your kids, and you will increase the chance that they will understand why the vast majority of gambling is not good.
You don’t need all this. A hair dryer and guitar pick and suction cup is all you need. Ifixit sells a very cheap kit that has everything you need. It’s quite easy and reasonable to do.

Problem is apple insists that phones can only be touched with extremely specialised tools which ensure every repair is perfect with little room for any human error.

And instead of loosening their requirements for self repair, they have taken the absurd approach here.
Keep in mind that poker is not generally considered gambling and is instead a game of skill. Top players over time have a +EV over less skilled players.

Another part of poker that people tend to gloss over is bankroll management - another critical life skill. A larger bankroll lets someone take a few more asymmetric bets, but first they have to build that bankroll. Sounds more and more like life...

For example, a kid deciding to go to college or not for CS is making the same calculations as they would in a poker game. They have imperfect information, there's a monetary component and an EV component.
Well, it was newer and aimed at the home market--and IBM didn't worry too much about compatibility for whatever reasons (good or bad). PC compatibles didn't have decent standard graphics until EGA came along (though many systems would support Hercules for monochrome graphics).

But to your basic point. Yeah. IBM wanted to create a competitor to the other home computers. Not cannibalizing its business computers was probably a rather secondary concern.
Won’t be much use without the official parts, the hotline to validate them, etc.
If the bot is playing a Nash equilibrium then it doesn't need to devise the opponent's strategy. It's guaranteed to tie the opponent in the worst case (the opponent is also playing Nash equilibrium) or else win.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_equilibrium

However, if the opponent is playing sub-optimally you can win _more_ by deviating from Nash equilibrium to take advantage of their specific strategic shortcomings. The risk in doing so is if you are wrong estimating their shortcomings.. you are no longer guaranteed a tie in the worst case scenario.

You can see this play out with a small toy game and a card calculator. Suppose a two player game of Texas Holdem where each player has 8x big blinds. The first player must choose to either go all in or fold. The second player must choose to either call the all in or fold. Players must pick a range of hands to perform either action prior to looking at their cards.

https://openpokertools.com/range_equity.html

Suppose a silly strategy by the second player of folding any hand except pocket aces. You'd be wise as the first player to go all in with any hand and pick up a free big blind with 99.5% certainty. However going all in with every hand is also an easy strategy to take advantage of...

(You can actually go back and forth maximally exploiting the other player's strategy and you will eventually reach Nash equilibrium)

What's the false value for my EmailAddress type?
I'll add my two cents: Yes, people like people who are like themselves, and when this is hard to find, then that can lead to the feeling of loneliness.

This can be fixed by joining groups or activities that you enjoy. Friends are just people you enjoy being with. Overtime they can become people you learn to care about and even love like family. But it starts with having fun with them, or at least being likeminded somehow.

Also, fear is no way to live. Part of life is accepting that you will die someday, and most people die alone. Even the idealized version of dying, surrounded by family and friends, is no picnic for them or you. This usually entails being drugged or being otherwise "out of it." So don't worry about "being alone." The end is the same for everyone, and hopefully you won't even notice and you'll get to die peacefully in your sleep.

Life is for living and enjoying it as much as possible, and some people do enjoy being alone. However, living alone for a prolonged period of time is probably not THE healthiest thing to do because we are a social species and we do need physical contact. Having a pet like a dog or cat can help in this regard, but having someone who can always accompany you to doctor appointments, or go with you to events, or restaurants, or even just having breezy conversations with, really helps with having good mental health.

So I recommend cultivating friendships and partnerships, and doing your best to maintain them through the inevitable bumps in the road. But obviously, if these relationships are toxic and you find yourself feeling bad, then stay away from them, even if they are your blood relatives. Life is too short to spend time with someone unpleasant, but I promise that there are many people out there who are fun to hang out with, who are kind and generous, and who can become dear friends or life partners if you take some time to find them.

Please talk to a therapist or counselor before making any decisions. It sounds like you need someone to help talk through emotions, your plans, your desires, etc, and a trained professional will be able to help here. It’s not a sign of weakness, and these people really can help you make great decisions and really iron out what it is that you want, what the costs are for different decisions, etc. and there isn’t much to lose, only more information and better decision making to be gained.

Think of it like hiring a coach. Lebron James has a coach. Tia Toomey has a coach. The worlds most successful business leaders have coaches. It’s alright to hire one who can work with you on making your life better. Best of luck!
Almost all consumers would prefer to take their phone in for a battery replacement than have it look weird. Considering a replacement is something you do maybe once while the form factor is something you will always be affected by.
I'm not sure the right to repair should have to mean that companies have to magically circumvent the effects of economy of scale.

Surely the important thing is that they don't act anti-competitively towards independent repair shops, so they can actually have one of these kits on their desks to replace batteries all day long without being gouged.
Ahh nvm I was thinking about m1 max (my brain is damaged by the m1 naming and i didnt saw information that you are using m1 pro gpu)
There's nothing particularly special about OEM batteries. I don't generally buy them when I need replacements.

Exactly! I use fnmatch a lot to translate glob strings to regexes (in a VFX company, I'm a developer for a Houdini and in-house software pipeline).

Being able to provide solid globbing options to users in any scenario that is 'path-y' can provide massively more power to them, in lots of different cases I'd say.
In the pyramid of human knowledge physics (a science, according to you) rests on top of mathematics (not a science, according to you).

We had mathematics long before we had physics.

So it is pretty obvious that physic is founded upon a liberal art - mathematics.
It isn’t drm, a warning shows up on boot if the battery replacement was done unofficially. It has no functional impact on the device.

The reasons behind it are pretty strong. A lot of repair stores use second hand, or fraudulent parts which damage the user experience. So for an owner getting a repair, if they don’t see warnings, they know the repair was done right. And as a buyer, you can tell the phone is using all official parts.

It’s also likely used to ruin the resale value of stolen parts from the factories.
Turn it off and on
We were already shifting to different working patterns before COVID hit. Had it been 10 years earlier it would have been much more impactful but the concept of working from home wasn’t novel in a great many industries before COVID. And those that couldn’t function remotely continued operate largely like they did before the pandemic.

Also it’s worth noting that the vaccines were already years into development before COVID hit. We knew there was a risk of a Coronavirus outbreak (by virtue of the fact that we had dodged two Coronavirus pandemics a decade earlier). Granted the increased funding and urgency of COVID helped speed things along; but they weren’t exactly starting from scratch.

So it’s still not really clear how we would cope with a more dramatic or unknown situation.

What I did learn about the pandemic was normal folk will completely disregard their own safety just to stick a middle finger to the government. Which is not only concerning for the future survival of our species but also a direct contradiction to your point about civilisation banding together.
I'm seasoned enough with burnouts and the best cure is indeed to quit (for a while).

I have long wanted to learn contract bridge, but there are two obstacles:

1. I don't have anyone to play with -- much less three people -- and I don't have much time to play myself either, with two very small children and work taking up most of my time.

2. As a consequence of the above, I don't even know how to start learning to play. I'm a person who learns by doing, but I can't take the time to find and meet up with other interested people.

If only I understood the game, I'm sure I could teach the in-laws and they might humour me and play with me every now and then, but that takes me understanding the game first...

It’s likely in China’s self-interest to keep Russia weaker by not selling them high-tech hardware. Let’s see if China is any better at acting in their own interests than, say, the US has been with China.
