So, on the topic of sturdy.... I have the Macbook Air M1, bought it pretty much directly after it came out, and it is sturdy as shit.

Just to iterate on the kind of abuse mine has already endured - without even the slightest dent or crack:

1) I put the Macbook on a chair and, without thinking, put a blanket over it while cleaning, causing my girlfriend to sit on it with her full weight for over 2 hours

2) I have dropped the laptop two times while carrying it

3) The laptop has fallen off my desk also two times because of the lack of Magsafe

4) The laptop was, in its silicone case, in the passenger seat in a 25-30mph car crash, got shot full force against the middle console

Not a single dent. Just some scratches on one edge from the car crash.
it's surprisingly weak at interpreting complex original prompts because the model is really small, the text encoder is just 183M parameters. Craiyon is much larger.
Re Miele - my sample size of one dates to 1987 and still is my main vac. So at some point in the past they were probably quite good (or I got really really lucky). FWIW

This is why I didn't use a fairy example originally. I used flat earth since we can figure out the truth. The universe is huge so there obviously could be a fairy somewhere.

This is a wrong paragraph to cite, because "your content" does not include an "account" (the ToS is very clear about this). The relevant paragraph would be the following:

Subject to applicable law, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and/or your access to some or all of our services with or without notice, at our discretion, including if:

- You breach these terms, our policies, or additional terms that apply to specific products.

- We’re required to do so to comply with a legal requirement or court order.

- We reasonably believe termination is necessary to prevent harm to you, us, other users, or third parties.

- Your account has been inactive for more than two years.

Given the current ToS using a third-party client already qualifies as an explicit reason for the account suspension and it doesn't seem to be wise to risk that. Yes, they still reserve the right to suspend your account for other unstated reasons, but that's another matter.
> Google Play services are still required for the official builds because of the (unverifiable to be really) encrypted backups.

"Monad burritos" is a riff on Brent Yorgey's "monad tutorial fallacy" post[1], a piece of lore from the Haskell community which speaks to the phenomenon of tutorials/learning resources published by people who've just barely learned (or haven't quite yet understood) the lessons they purport to teach. They're particularly wont to highlight snappy "insights" that tie together a concept from the author's perspective, but that can be kind of useless or counterproductive to just hear about, since the work was done by grappling with concepts to arrive at an intuition, and the snappy bit doesn't actually impart any intuition on its own.

And there is a vibrant ecosystem of Japanese learning resources like this. The landing page for this book sure smells like one! And this line from the OP:

> In true hacker ethos, Japanese Complete was a project started to address a need the founders had and now it’s turning into a tangible product so it is quite exciting for us and we appreciate your continued support.

absolutely sounds like a project started by someone who just learned a little Japanese ("a need the founders had"). It's a well-trod space.

Conversely, there is a type of person who thinks everything worth knowing must require investment on behalf of the learner.

It's not surprising this type of person is very common among the highly educated: school indoctrinates us with this belief.

For these people everything is a struggle.

They may even miss opportunities to easily pick up simple but useful ideas or skills because they have a closed mindset.

Did they even call it an MMU already? The 286 only had segmentation, which arguably is just an addressing mode. It introduced descriptors that had to be resolved, but that happened when selecting the descriptor (i.e. when loading the segment register), where a hidden base, limit, and permission "cache" was updated. Unlike paging, where things are resolved when accessing memory.
Doesn’t matrix also do all that with the added benefit of federated Id and pulling Chat history from an e2e group chat?

Hi, Yan from Teapodo here.

Yes, we will eventually try to make it a sustainable business.

We don't have a concrete licensing plan yet, but we are hoping to keep all released functionalities free to use so that existing users won't be interrupted.

It's not open source yet, but it's certainly a possible option.
fwiw I am a user of signal and I am expressing my need. Allowing it access to my contact list and my phone number is a privilege I extend nearly uniquely to it among similar apps and I want that gone. Because I can't just "not use signal," because signal is where the people I need to talk to are. Users are a key feature of any social product, you can't just "all else equal" them away.

It's not really my problem if it's hard. That's for them to figure out. Until they do I will continue to be an unhappy user of their product, and no amount of people on the internet willing to defend their choices as if they were their own is going to change that.
> Both are inflation protected.

Not sure about your logic here. The more exposure you have to an inflating/hyperfinflating currency, the more risk you carry. Your house holds value, but the rent in fiat you collect doesn't. Every month you collect X liras, but they become worth less and less. You're assuming you can reprice rent on demand, but contractually this is dependent on the locale.

> In a stable environment, using currency as store of value for anything more than 3 months is stupid

You only seem to be thinking in the single dimension of currency for the average person. You forget that all government treasury bonds (pretty big and important financial instrument in any economy) are denominated in some fiat currency. 10, 20, 30 year bonds. There are macro affects when people no longer expect or trust a currency to hold value. It is part of how debt crises occur.

> If you really really really want a currency that acts as a store of value, of course there is the King Dollar, the greatest currency in the history of currencies.

People think Bitcoin is a monetary experiment. But it really is the modern day fiat currencies that is the huge experiment.

Then how does the entitlement escalation part of the exploit work? The writeup sure makes it sound like any app can write to the persisted state of another app.
Actually most budget laptops still use plastic screens... It's only the high end models where things become glass.

It almost makes sense, since if you're buying an expensive laptop, you're probably OK with higher cost of ownership too (as seen by the other replies on this thread of people spending multiple hundreds to repair their screens).
For a real world example, you can look to the hole in the ozone layer. This conservative commentator and roughly 42k twitter users agree that we "suddenly just stopped talking about it", when in reality governments implemented bans on CFCs that mostly solved the problem.

I think Chrome when it first came out was giving $5 per install as well.

You see similar rewards here in UK for referring people to new bank accounts, Chase made a big move over here and was giving £20 to the referrer, and £20 to the referred for minimum commitment. If you got the money it's a fast way to gobble up market share.
What boggles my mind is why you didn't get a computer with a Centrino Core 2 Duo with an integrated graphics card.

I still run an old tablet with 5.1, and a phone with 7.1. I've seen 10 year old iPads running on the wild, albeit for basic tasks.

Still, this situation makes me quite sad. Why I can't easily update my phone OS like I do with my Linux desktops and servers? Things like the /e/ foundation or Lineage OS are great but still have a lot of limitations. Mostly due to closed source drivers that mobile phone makers use.

Even if both of them have hundreds or thousands of CVEs there is nothing I can do since security fixes won't be backported. I use AOSP with the minimal applications required for their "job", that means, mostly F-Droid applications and no gapps/vendor apps.

Until their batteries die, I will keep them around. I won't throw away a perfectly working device.

Most mobile applications still target Android 7 and work perfectly. My phone has a good camera, battery still lasts 3 days, Internet browsing is fast enough and WiFi, LTE/4G reception work great too. Still, watching the mayhem Android 12 and beyond (Material You) has become, maybe my next phone will be an iOS device.

I suppose, if the definition of "weird" is loosely-related to "low probability of truth" or "wildly deviant from existing orthodoxy," the highest-upside ideas would seem to be "weird."

In that vein, the question is how many "weird" ideas can your portfolio of time and money afford at any point?
I actually misunderstood the wording, I’m now aware that he only bought 17 acres + 75 more properties in the area.

As for the weird threat of embarrassment… what? I literally just asked if he used the same username on both websites.

As for why I asked, I’ll answer again: his post on HN had a different tone from his posts on the bird site, and I wanted to know if they gave context to his post or were unrelated. For example, I do not own “braingenious” on twitter, and I wouldn’t want someone to mix me up with whoever that is.

I initially found this thread because someone mentioned it on Twitter. Spoiler: I did not go out of my way to gain any information.

As for how this relates to politics, I’ll refer to his own recent post about local politics affecting his project.

but wouldn't the ability to auto-generate blackmail material mean the value of blackmail would fall? Just from a supply and demand perspective, it makes sense to me why a deepfaked kompromat would put serious discount on such material especially if everybody knows it was generated by an AI.

Someone like Trump would just shrug and say the pee tapes are deepfaked. I don't think its possible for AI to bypass forensics either. So again this narrative that "deepfake blackmail" would be dangerous makes no sense.

Bluetooth beacons are used to collect data. Hence the mention of them for commercial surveillance.
I tend to think the amount of companies who want to do that AND could do it well is vanishingly low.

On the converse - I think of all the smaller businesses I worked around that really wanted to get their own portable IP block and ASN because they thought it made them serious ... but just had no business playing in that space.

Honestly, if I had broken the screen, this seems like a fair cost for a new display like this. Apart from the the cost, I'd also like to mention the repair process (via mail at their Houston repair facility) was very speedy. I got a quote within hours of them receiving the product, and it was shipped the next day after I approved. The supervisor mentioned that if they ever set up a repair program for this issue, they will refund the fee.

Now, if only they could also fix the audio crackling issue that me and many other users are experiencing... (https://www.reddit.com/r/macbookpro/comments/s4r1m5/macbook_...)
This was New Jersey not California. It said police asked the lab. A warrant isn't asking. And what would be the probable cause? So I think the lab gave it to police without a warrant.
It won't scale forever. You'll need project references in the same way as we need in tRPC on large projects.
According to a recent Reuters article using a model developed by the Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago, the point at which an EV’s carbon footprint meets and begins to fall below that of a comparable gas vehicle in the United States is at around 13,500 miles.

So after an average year of driving, the EV is better for the environment.
The thread has 50 pages and 2000 votes, so I'd guess even if that is a factor, it wouldn't account for all of them.
When I asked for a refund I was told that they had changed their mind and they were no longer honoring their original policies. I have the phone now and it's pretty much a paperweight. Someday I might want to play around with it but at the moment it's more of a toy and less of a phone.
I don't care if someone sells my data, I care if some company gets compromised and doesn't tell me. And it makes it harder for bots to crack the same account at multiple places.
Consider, maybe, the psycology of the interaction. You may well be used to direct feedback, but when driving change in another organisation -- especiallly one where it's really cheap for them to simply ignore you -- it can help to consider how people will react and make it as easy as possible for them to take the action you want them to.

We can assume that they made these changes deliberately. Therefore it's going to take a lot of conviincing to get them to undo the changes.

For what it's worth, too, I disagree with you: I'm quite happy with the asethetic they've built. Although, in case it's not clear to you, no-one outside of Google can see the screenshots you supplied. So I've not seen the specific notifications you're complaining about.

What if gold creates needless friction that prevents a higher GDP?

For example, in a global gold reserve system it is possible for individual countries to run out of gold, possibly reducing their GDP to nothing. This happened way more often than you think and for many wildly different reasons. For example, the famous Weimar Republic hyperinflation was caused by an outflow of gold due to forced reparation payments that go way beyond what a destroyed post war economy could bear. The moment there was no gold in the country, the currency became worthless. Soon after that, just six or seven years later the great depression happened.

People argue that gold solved the inflation problem but all it did was swing violently from inflation to deflation and back. Only people who have too much money and don't need more money benefited from this, a bonafide market failure.

One would expect a market economy to allocate money to those who need it most but instead our economy allocates money to those who don't need it. Nobody seems to be aware of this contradiction.
WinForms is just mostly a managed Win32 wrapper so unsurprisingly it’s very stable on the OS frameworks (4.X).

You are right about the defendant part; somehow it didn't translate in my head as I was typing.

How does this setup handle a maintenance of the underlying hypervisor host? As far as I know the VM will be migrated to a new hypervisor and all data on the local SSDs is lost. Can the custom RAID0 array of local SSDs handle this or does it have to be manually rebuilt on every maintenance?
Sorry, just to clarify: I didn't mean "it's better if people who don't want to give out their phone number can use Signal" (although I happen to think that's also true).

Funny and/or touching videos about animals. Yeah, I'm a normie.
But there are other "Linux"'s that are not GNU/Linux which was I think the point. Like Android, which doesn't use glibc, and doesn't have this mess. I think that was one of the things people used to complain about, that Android didn't use glibc, but since glibc seems to break ABI compatibility kinda on the regular that was probably the right call.
People just don't understand how good desktops are, right?

On my flight yesterday, when I pulled out my full tower Ryzen with 2x 3090 GPUs, I got told that the power outlet on the plane seat shouldn't be used for my 1200W power supply.

And yet, the same flight attendant said nothing to the macbook user a few rows over who was clearly plugged in. Frankly, it's appalling how few people understand that a cheaper desktop is comparable to a laptop.
I suspect there are some differences between regions. The staffs in the Apple Store in Macau are more aggressive than the staffs in Canada, in my experience.
I feel people often have pink glasses over the old period of Apple. 90s was tons of Mac product lines competing with each other. No shortage of quality problem on those hardware. A nice operating system but was falling behind in many modern OS concepts (while trying to build a new OS from scratch and failing).

I used apple all my life (including the 90s) and it was definitely not the best period of apple.
I have an M1 Air, under enough load it'll run right up towards 100C and that heat is localized over the processor. It seems possible there's something about the thermal design that makes this configuration more prone to this problem than previous machines. Aluminum expands more than glass so the problem would most likely be something around the chassis / hinge area.
You can shift energy tax to property tax or sales tax or whatever. I e.g. smell an incoming BEV travel distance tax.
There was a period where a Linux libc was maintained, but it was long-ago deprecated in favour of glibc. Perhaps that was a mistake.
Mostly likely culprit, if this is a real problem, is a poorly-annealed batch of screen glass. If the glass is under internal tension, it's only a matter of time before cracks show. Conversely, screen glass is ordinarily pretty hard to damage and screens are designed to handle any expansion in their frame as a matter of course.

At this point, there's no way to tell if this is an actual issue, or if it's just the enormous customer base of Apple amplifying owners who damaged their screen and would like Apple to replace it for free.

I'm sympathetic after owning one of the cursed butterfly decks, but I'm pretty wait-and-see about it. I'm not nervous about my 16" M1 Pro, which is the most tank-like laptop Apple has made since the days of removable batteries and built-in DVD-R.
