You are aware that that full aluminum enclosure is not a universally great this, right?

I have literally two laptops in front of me - ThinkPad made with carbon fiber and MacBook Pro 2021.

Aluminum laptop is heavier, clunkier and less pleasant to work with

That's extremely weird you can't use the same address for notifications and 2FA

But if that's the case, you shouldn't tie personal accounts to work stuff like this in the first place. Just make a second email address.

Sure it's convenient but then you dig yourself holes like this.
I can't imagine screen readers do a great job of seeing Greclish and giving visually impaired users a sensible pronunciation, either.
I enjoy salsa dancing, but I don't know any Spanish, so I use that built-in Google functionality to hum various songs all the time to figure out what they're called.
The "proper" solution not depending on the application layer:

Turn autoconfig back on only when you restart your PC or disconnect from the network (maybe someone can automate this by checking connectivity without scanning networks, enabling autoconfig, and then turning it back off)

You'd need something like RSS to only download the useful contents. You could probably same a few forums' contents on a 500GB SSD if you stuck to text and used an efficient format.
"I could write a $20M check myself"

Every day, all day. Same boat here.

I went to the bank to ask for a mortgage. They asked for my financials. "Oh, well, knowing that other people's money is on the line engenders a greater sense of discipline and determination."
Don't get me wrong, I definitely like my iPad pro a lot, and use it on regular. And I also think that having some functionally useful version of Xcode on it would be amazing.

However, that wouldn't replace macOS for me at all. I see a lot of value in iPad as a device I use on a regular basis, but even with all those features, I still need a general purpose computing machine for plenty of reasons. No matter what features iPad might end up having in the future, it wont replace macOS for me.

Killing Mac not only hurts Mac itself, it also hurts all the adjacent products. Two features I personally really like on iPad are universal control over mac+ipad screens (one keyboard+trackpad controls both devices at the same time, but keeping the OS and everything else entirely separate) and the extended screen (where ipad can act as a simple external screen for a mac, either as wired or wireless). That class of features straight up wouldn't exist without mac existing. Hell, part of the reason i even use an iPhone is because of how smoothly it interacts with macOS (shared clipboard+imessage ftw).

Sure, the general public needs might change, and they might swing towards ipads over similar form factor general purpose computing devices (aka laptops). I don't see it happening, however. The people who would be the ones to do it, they had already done it by switching from laptops to smartphones over the past decade with the rise of iOS and Android. And i just don't see them switching away from smartphones to iPads (or tablets in general, for that matter).
Slide says "we don’t transcode on the server"

Surely they transcode on some server? Maybe they just mean they don't do it on the same server that is serving bits to customers?
Right. No one in 1963 was imagining billions of people with a computer. Watch "Mad Men" if you want to time-travel.
And by blockchain you mean its true evolution, which is totally and completely not a blockchain/nft/loot box, at all, really, the "silken highway". Once you touch it, you're stuck, vibrations you give off as you struggle to unsubscribe transmit to all suckers^d others, also alerting the central spider-mother (from which the highway grows, may she never falter) who grows the inescapable network of sticky threads via a 5% take of your offering through her bit-rotting venom.
>That’s way more difficult than just asking Facebook who already knows, though. You could go out of business before you manage to build that audience, if you ever would have.

Cry me a river. If your business can only be sustained by a 3rd party implementing a massive, global, impossible to avoid and opt out of tracking and surveillance apparatus, I genuinely don't care if it fails. Weiner dog slides aren't that important.
Or just collect mp3s? I'm guessing that at least happened while prototyping. And it seems like the most efficient way to make the service work in that era so it wouldn't surprise me if that data got used in production initially while handling licensing concerns separately.
Doesn't imply any task, just a wide variety of tasks. 10 years at most.
That is why I cancelled my do account snd switched to normal vps hosting. They give you login and password and never enforce broken 2fa and sso schemes that lead you to lose access and to give phone, photo of id, enter email pins when your ip changed and other “very secure” crap.
You can reimplement arrays using pure shell!

I saw it first here: https://github.com/shellfire-dev/core/blob/master/variable/a...

For many cases, this is even better than bash native arrays. You can pass these as arguments and preserve the structure, while the bash ones will autoexpand if you try that.

I ended up cooking my own array implementation later, but it is a bit more unorthodox (I create extra vars with numeric pointers to handle the values). Let me know if you want to see it, it's not complete but it works.

I'm not very fond of YAML either, I feel your pain :(
Are threads part of the C language or standard library?
Libraries as a public space for intellectual work and living in a increasingly digital society are more important than ever. Tons of people are dependant on libraries to pay bills, get healthcare, communicate with government agencies and what not. Some of us just need a place where we can work on our laptops without having to go to a loud cafe.
Guess the former wouldn't work very well for PR.

I don’t think they are saying it’s a bad thing for the market, they are saying it’s a very bad thing for the seller, so why would they shoot themselves in the foot that way?
It's too bad it would be highly unethical to run experiments with humans in tabula rasa environments. It would be really neat to see what different social behaviors emerge.
Considering that I cannot purchase it, I don't know the actual end price.

Lenovo's prices aren't Apple's, this laptop may be sold for similar as Mac.
You are probably right, but if anyone can make a dent Carmak is the person.
I also asked them for a source on a follow up comment the user made, all I received was a downvote and no response.
Pretty safe to say they are just spewing nonsense and dont actually have any evidence.
I appreciate the praise. The base of much of my work involves removing what we currently consider to be text from computing, on both ends. An assembler with its language is inferior to my machine code development tool with an interactive interface filled with redundant information; on the other end, I don't believe we should store text as characters, and I'm currently making progress on that.

I found no way to contact the author of this, as an example, but it's similar, except I'm making some progress: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32495133

The more I work with The Cloud, the more I feel like software is alive: Things that used to work, don’t, a piece that works well becomes bloated with logs that needs to be saved and inspected regularly, surgery is sometimes needed to hot-replace log4j with 1.18.2, and anything you connect to the internet can be infected by diseases.

I suspect for ESEA & FACEIT the most effective aspect of their anticheats is just that they are paid services. If I'm going to cheat at a game, I'm generally going to bias towards minimal consequences if I do get caught.

I can say that Valorant's anti cheat is the singular reason I've never tried it, even though I love counter-strike and similar games. Giving game devs (especially those owned by Tencent) ring 0 access is, uh, a step too far I think.

You have some catching up to do. Consensus is dropping to this lifetime for sure, if not this decade.
Have you tried calling them on an actual phone (not Teams, Slack etc.) instead of emailing or messaging? Or reaching out to one of their direct reports and asking what the best way of getting hold of them is?
If you're a new hire in a large company, do the people you are trying to contact know who you are already or are you "cold calling / emailing" them? Have you introduced yourself? This was easier in the before times when you could stick your head round theor door. I know several seniors who screen their emails to the extent that if you're not on their mental list, or have a rule that allows you to bypass their mail filter, then you're not getting a response. Hell I've done this myself sometimes.
Executives, and seniors generally, rarely pay any attention to Teams Messages or other sorts of IMs as their time and attention is in short supply.

I've dropped my MBP. And I dropped my ThinkPads.

There's a reason why I still buy ThinkPads - because aluminum is still heavier than magnesium and carbon fiber... and it isn't indestructible.
They did everything to confirm my Identity and prevent social engineering tactics which is exactly what I expected from the company.

But I feel like they don't have an internal process to solve this issue, I haven't anything back for the last 8 hours..

I've never, ever been charged a fee for having my mortgage sold to another company, and what they do with the debt after everything has been signed isn't my concern. I just find the company offering the best rate, terms, and ability to close the underwriting, and I go with them.

Uh... no. Most researchers have moved their timelines to somewhere between 2030 and 2040.

You can argue they're wrong, but there is absolutely a general consensus that AGI is going to be this generation.
Electron is not a good option either. It defeats the entire point of making a desktop app in first place. It's slow, wasteful, abstracts too much of the filesystem away for a desktop app, doesn't integrate into the OS, doesn't use the OS-provided UI widgets, etc. etc.

It also depends on what you mean by "non-trivial". For me, something like Final Cut Pro is non-trivial. I'm yet to see that kind of thing (one that's actually used, not just a PoC) done in either Electron or Apple's Swift framework-of-the-year.
Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
Except that ecosystem is entirely opt in. If you are okay with a walled garden that you can't control, that's on you. Apple tracking what you do in all of their various properties and apps that they've built to try and be your one stop digital life isn't perfect but it is IMO categorically better than going to a random website and having my data get scooped up into my google account or my facebook shadow profile.

If I leave the apple ecosystem, they no longer track me or sell ads to be displayed to me. That is not the case with facebook or google.
I admire and respect John Carmack. For me he's one of the greats, along with people like Peter Norvig, for example.
It depends.

Nobody says you have to make the minimum payment every month and you’re buying with today’s dollars, err…pounds, but paying with future less valuable money. Pay a little extra in the good times but have a lower minimum payment for when money gets a little tight.
Wasn't it Animal Farm where the animals say "Four legs good; eight legs bad" ?
If I'm remembering right, Carmack believes AGI will be a thing by 2030. He said this in his recent interview with Lex Fridman.
I think you missed the point I was trying to make.
C/C++ currently:
1.) "variable" -> something that is subject to change
2.) "const variable" -> an unchanging thing that is subject to change (I guess you could say it only changes once).

This thing and Rust:
"constant" -> something unable to change
"mutable constant" -> a changeable constant...what?
Even "mutable variable" -> a changeable thing that is a thing that is subject change doesn't make much more sense.

It is fine for "things" to be immutable by default, and in fact I think they should be. I just think "mutable" is keyword smell similar to "decltype" because type wasn't keyworded from the start.
SwiftUI has been a pain to learn because it’s young and you still need to learn UIKit or another framework to get unsupported tasks done. So basically need to learn the old frame and the new just to use the new. At least that’s been my experience not knowing the older frameworks myself.
It's definitely not a simple problem though. Anyone can claim they own your account. And it would be bone-headed to make the re-verification process easy.
I work on a very technically trivial service at a large company.

It's the kind of thing that people run at home on a raspberry pi, docker container or linux server and it consumes almost no resources.

But at our organization this needs to scale up to millions of users in an extremely reliable way. It turns out this is incredibly hard and expensive and takes a team of people and a bucket of money to pull it off correctly.

When I tell people what I work on they only think about their tiny implementation of it, not the difficulty of doing it at an extreme scale.
Yeah, I've realized that the currently used API just lets you request a key for the public Spotify Web API, and I can just get the collection of the user and etc. from there.
Doesn't strike me as a humble brag at all. He just seems self-aware about how he's motivated and that that he functions better when it's someone else's money on the line.
Then it's NOT generalized. ANY means ANY.
I think he very clearly has an amoral attitude towards technology development -- "you can't stop progress." He does describe his own "hacker ethic" and whatever he develops he may make more open than OpenAI.

though I think he has some moral compass around what he believes people should do or not do with technology. For example, he has publicly expressed admiration for electric cars / cleantech and SpaceX's decision to prioritize Mars over other areas with higher ROI.
It’s not blowing 20 million if it results in meaningful progress in this area. We have something like 2700 billionaires on this planet. This isn’t even a drop in the bucket for someone like that interested in furthering this research.

AGI could quite literally shift any job to automation. This is human-experience changing stuff.

I would use this, or just use my existing Tailscale setup. However, on my iPhone using Tailscale drastically reduces battery life. So much in fact that where normally I have 50-70% left before sleeping, I need to charge the phone at dinner when using Tailscale. According to iOS Tailscale was responsible for 60-80% off battery use.

So maybe I’ll just run it over the open Internet..
Weestern civilization would be dead if it weren't for eccentric people like this. Let them blow $20M, there are worse ways.
I'm not sure if Apple is planning on building huge non-trivial apps anymore. This isn't a knock against the amount of work that goes into creating new versions of their macOS apps. But I don't think any of them are creating new transformative experiences for use cases that consumers were missing on before. Stocks and News are just delivering more content and services. This very much reflects Apple's continued focus in becoming a services company.

It mirrors what Valve is like these days. It's the Steam platform company. They do make a few new games (Artifact, Half-Life: Alyx), but nothing transformative like their previous new franchises or even sequels were like. So many companies are in the platform businesses these days, because it's good to be a rentier. So it goes.
Most new macOS apps from Apple seem to be pretty awful and don't feel like an actual mac app. Home, TV, and Music have some really horrible ux/ui. Music is slightly better than the others but you would think they would have the resources to make these right. TV and Music are subscription-based in a way which seems like a no-brainer to add resources to make a proper app.

That's not the right way to think about it. Statistically, the expect value is the probability of an event times its value.

If a service costs 100 dollars and the debt on it is worth 1 dollar, that doesn't mean the service costs 1 dollar. It is most likely an egregious loss to the provider. There are a bunch of instances of people paying their bills in full. And, it is those people that are subsiding the non payers such that the provider can stay profitable. This nonprofit is rewarding those that dont take responsibility and are shifting the burden to the struggling working class who are sacrificing to be responsible.
This is a really great point. I want very much their effort to succeed, but I suspect epigenetic is so important for higher organisms that the chances of this working are rather low.
By definition it has to be any task otherwise it wouldn't be general. What tasks wouldn't an AGI be able to perform and still be an AGI?
Feedback on the format and value please.
They don't necessarily own the rights to all the source. You can't release it if you licensed part of it from some other company and that company is now dead.
That has among its meanings "lasting 24 hours" and also "a changing of day to night, back, or both". A single human is not likely to be equally active the whole 24 hours. Although I do know of some people who basically nap around the clock and don't sleep in an extended block, they seem to be a rare exception.

It seems like a decent word to stretch a little into this use of the idea that members of a species may have different familial, social, or individual circadian activity. I hesitate to do that though, because I'm unaware of it being used that way to date and it seems it could be difficult in such a context to differentiate it from established meanings of the word.
I love these debugging stories but its a total nightmare to deal with these kinds of issues.

At the moment there's this really weird network issue we're having where iPhones are unable to play Netflix on the Wifi.
Every other device works fine but iphone 7, 8 (2 devices) and SE can't stream Netflix.
I noticed there is other things they can't do, for example the page for the fast.com speedtest loads but the speedtest cant be performed.
Same with the Google speedtest. The phones also can't access Apples update server on the wifi.
Other network stuff does work fine, youtube works, browsing works, etc.
The behaviour is consistent across the iphones and all these things work fine on multiple other devices on the same network.

I can't make sense of it at all.

Called internet provider and they didnt know either apparently other people had the same issue but nothing has changed from their side of things.
Called Apple support and they are putting the blame on the network provider.

Tested one of the devices on a different wifi network and works fine.

AFAIK if you're an internet router the packets look the same no matter what device is being used so I think this must be some Apple software issue. Or maybe my router is cursed.

There are a variety of types of sanctions beyond economic ones. For example, the US sometimes specifically bans sanctioned individuals from crossing our borders (including airspace).

Japan was in no way being strangled. Before Japan's unprovoked attack, there were no US Navy ships blockading their harbors. International trade is a voluntary affair, and the US and its allies were under no legal or moral obligation to continue selling to Japan. Cutting off trade through non-violent means was not considered an act of war under the international treaties or customary norms in effect in 1941. Whether they were expected to react or not is immaterial.

I'm not sure why you're trying to derail the discussion with irrelevant questions about vaccine mandates. Those apply to individuals, not sovereign states, and are completely off topic.
