I keep having to unlearn years of "Laptop = hot" and "<2 hours of battery if I'm pushing the laptop".

My 2014 got warm but never too hot on my lap but when I got the 2019 i9 it was unbearable to put on my lap without some kind of insulation. Now my M1 Max barely feels warm at all on my lap, often cold and the battery is really something else.

Sometimes I play Factorio sitting on my couch and with my 2014/2019 MBP I HAD to have the power cord nearby. Obviously I could go on battery for a while but as a rule I always plugged it in while using (see also: I LOVE having magsafe back, the 2019 always made me super anxious with only having USB-C for charging). Now with my M1 Max I can go for hours playing without thinking about power.

Likewise when I go up to see my parents/family I can jump on my laptop a number of times for quick tasks (~2-3 hours over a few days) and I never have to think about plugging it in. Maybe it was something I had installed on my 2014/2019 MBP but I felt like those discharged faster when not in use. My M1 Max feels much closer to an iPad where you can leave it unused for days and come back to still having 80%+ battery.
They are officially licensed and you can get stop-and-go versions as well.
This is probably one of the best things I read on here. Thank you for sharing.
I think it's less of Mac hardware specifically, and more of the quality of their hardware.

The best Linux users can do (for a laptop) is a Thinkpad (as they officially have support from Lenovo) or one of the more boutique brands (system76, starlabs, purism) and at best (my opinion, Thinkpads) they trade blows with Apple hardware.

As far as desktops go, building a computer for Linux is simple and easy and doesn't really have that many problems in my experience.
The best part for me is this:

A barbelled personality – optimistic about the future, but paranoid about what will prevent you from getting to the future – is vital.

Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that’s incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you know it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive

> Or how when you X one of those panels on some topic you have no interest in and it says "Got it, message hidden" then pops back up in a few days?

And

> Clicking X means NO.

While clicking X might mean No for all circumstances to you, that doesn’t mean it a the same for everyone else.

To handle more variety, you really want at two affordances: “never” and “not now”.

Note, when a user turns a feature off (your “never” case), now whenever you change that feature all the users who turned it off will now be left behind, even if the change or improvement would be appealing to them. So now you need a way to communicate the changes (even though they said “don’t show this feature”) and a way to change that preference.
I think only those users use Apple’s HideMyEmail who have promised themselves to forever use Apple devices and forever having the paid plan, and never want to start a mail conversation from any of those emails.

For others a domain, a mail provider works best with catch-all.
> I won't watch videos on a certain topic or from a specific channel for a few weeks and then Youtube thinks I never want to see it ever again

For me it's kind of the converse issue. I watch 2 or 3 videos on a topic and then YouTube thinks I'm obsessed with that topic and nothing else.
Possibly. But thanks to Wolvic, there's a chance that the metaverse will be built on top of Servo ;-)
It's almost impressive how this guy managed write an opinion piece that is exclusively argumentium ad hominem.

To paraphrase: "Paul Ehrlich is a profession doom mongerer. AOC doesn't believe factuality is important. John Kerry is a hypocrite who owns a private jet." And then the article just sort of ends.

Even if you take all those assertions as objective fact, how do they contribute to a central thesis? I don't see any substantive analysis that shows, or even attempts to show, that climate change is a conversation that is primarily driven by the social or financial or political elite. Also, even if we were to accept as fact that the discourse on climate change is largely driven by a bored bourgeois looking for a project of meaning, that's not automatically mutually exclusive with it being about genuine concerns about the state of the planet. There is zero attempt to prove or analyze that part of the thesis in any meaningful way either. Total anti-intellectual, emotionally driven puff piece.

The incentive is likely engagement and that comes at a cost of satisfaction.

Computers are great at following directions like your preferences for being shown certain types of content or disabling functionality you don't want to use. Yet every platform somehow "forgets" your preferences regularly.
Those are rentals, so they run quite a few more charging cycles than private owned cars. On the other hand, rental companies write there cars off, and sell them early enough to maintain an up tondate fleet. So maybe batteries don't need replacement during the rental live, and companies don't care that much about resell value since the car is written off the books anyway.
> It is very easy to get wealthy (assuming access to western markets and not being party to systemic racism) if you are willing or able to do even one or two things better than most people.

Given that hardly anyone gets wealthy (as a percentage of the population), either your claim is wrong, or hardly anyone is willing or able to do even one or two things better than most people.

Also, people do not get rich from incomes, as a general rule.
I’d say their fatal flaw is you don’t control the platform. I’d not invest my time on them for that reason alone. Like writing Excel macros.

> Are transformers not already very specialized to the task of learning from sequences of word vectors?

No, you can use transformers for vision, image generation, audio generation/recognition, etc.

They are 'specialized' in that they are for working with sequences of data, but almost everything can be nicely encoded as a sequence. In order to input images, for example, you typically split the image into blocks and then use a CNN to produce a token for each block. Then you concatenate the tokens and feed them into a transformer.
I guess my question is then, what is the limit? Should a business be allowed to bar as many people as it can do so without using automated technology?

Given the turmoil that the "Elon Jet Tracker" created it seems like tracking still pisses these people off despite their wealth and gated communities/etc.

I know essentially nothing about any of these tools, but I get the impression that the report is arguing that the API for ML is really up at the Python layer, and ML programmers don't interact directly with the stuff you're talking about.

If the new PyTorch funnels everything through abstractions that don't require you to implement as many primitives to port it onto a new backend, then it matters less than before if ROCm (or whatever...) is harder to use, because the person doing the port don't have to do as much with it, and the actual application programmer never sees it at all.

Eh? Again, these are pretty standard these days, and why would you need a backup?

The concept of planet B is itself ideological. Climate change is a symptom of capitalism; which remains unchallenged. Why is it easier to imagine a zombie apocalypse than a different economic system. Varoufakis Another Now attempts this. Until we are able to imagine new economic structures our attempts to avoid "planet B" will continue to create new markets and that is it.

> the imminent end of the world, something that can only be prevented if we fundamentally change the way we live. Of course, by "we," they actually mean "you."
As someone who is generally pro-Mars colonization (and has Zubrin’s book), I feel this. We don’t need to dichotomize this and I welcome advances towards humans going beyond where we have ever been.

At the same time, I realize there is a lot of pain and anxiety down here. The environment is being wrecked. Climate is changing beyond what an evolved ecosystem can handle. At the same time, there are poor nations trying to catch up, who will not like being told to slow down by the developed world. With collective action global poverty could be solved in the next 10 years. The worst of it, anyway. But suddenly the argument becomes that by giving a dollar to space exploration you are depriving a starving person? I simply cannot accept that hardline utilitarianism.

Unfortunately, being just some internet person, I don’t have numbers on how much to spend on space technology. What should it be at this point in time, in comparison to all of our other needs? All I can say is greater than zero.

It's unlikely a company like Hertz would ever own the vehicle that long. They're selling these cars way before a battery replacement, unless it's still in the warranty range. I don't know the resale on an EV from a rental fleet. Do we have any data on this yet?
Everyone is looking for an easy answer to climate change / energy costs / energy independence etc. But there isn't one. Fusion remains decades away, Fission is very expensive and unpopular, Most renewables are intermittent etc. Heat pumps are one more tech with very limited potential (range of temperatures, efficiency over that range, power output limits, need for a heat source, size, cost etc).

There are many reasons to start a business. I like doing so because the most honorable path IMO is serving others - I make more money the more I provide people what they want. They voluntarily give my businesses money. That’s far superior to being paid by taxes, stealing, inheriting it, and so on. Voluntarily receiving money from people who desire the services of my businesses is the best thing I can provide humanity. Becoming wealthy was a consequence of serving a huge amount of people well.

The latter part of my life will involve various ways of using my wealth in ways I see benefit society. This will be very unique to my own style.
That is my preferred outlook yes :)

But it is backed by the data. Check out my other responses.

If you’re either “realistic” or pessimistic, what about the data and trends we already have doesn’t convince you of a giant cost reduction over the decade to produce batteries?

Maybe there is some deep mystery in Germany, but I was generally familiar with the rank systems in the US for all the uniformed services under DoD before having direct experience with them. Seems pretty common, IME.

Outdoor wood boilers have been a thing for a long time. Back when I had mine, it kept the water at 180F.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outdoor_wood-fired_boiler

If you have enough sufficiently dry wood, downdraft gasification models burn extremely cleanly (they're effectively rocket stoves), but those models require a fair bit of maintenance, especially if your wood is slightly wet or green, because soot can quickly build up on the water envelope.
It is NOT clear this is true for the first 10,20 or 50K miles though, and that's about as long as a rental company owns the car, so attributing financial gains from EV vs. ICE seems spurious at best.
Does this hold true when you start to consider people that own/use the cars for 10+ years?

According to Tesla, their battery packs typically exhibit less than 10% degradation after 150K miles.
Yes. This is my experience as well. I don't really relate to any of this status seeking through wealth stuff.

Your modern OS and graphics hardware is way more complex. In DOS you wrote something that took over exclusive access to all the PC hardware and didn't have to multitask or share it with any other apps or code (more or less). You could directly write to hardware memory with no need to have some intermediate layers arbitrating access like today. The hardware itself was extremely simple and just a buffer of bytes that represented pixel colors, not like modern GPUs that are entirely distinct computers themselves that you have to pass messages and cooperate with for rendering even basic pixels.

Check out a modern library like raylib, it makes blasting out pixels on modern hardware easy: https://www.raylib.com/

This clock is great for teaching kids how to tell time! When learning to read a "circle clock", they have a heck of a time understanding what it means when the hour hand is almost but not quite pointing at a number. So when it's 3:45 they will say 4:45 because they know the big hand on 9 means "45" but they get confused because the little hand is almost pointing at 4.

This clock solves that problem.

Sneak, I think you're defending your article a little too loosely here.

Your article states that Apple is scanning your files and points to network traffic as evidence for this, combining in your summary that Apple scans the data and then tries to reach Apple owned APIs. You spend a non-trivial amount of the article discussing the CSAM plans Apple had, and making it very clear that Apple never said it wouldn't scan and send files/data to law enforcement.

Your article builds a case that Apple is exfiltrating data, be it document information, media analysis, etc, outside of the local machine; I find it difficult to accept this was not the intent based on how the article is structure, the bullet points, and the summary.

I understand you think your article presents an objective and curious item that asks the reader to investigate more, but I and other people in this topic are telling you this is not the way your article is understood and interpreted, and we've pointed out how the other conclusion was reached based on your article. An inquisitive article with a call to action would be just that, as other commenters have already posted:

- I see this daemon trying to reach out to Apple APIs

- At this time, I was doing this

- I have not investigated the binary or network traffic

- I find this interesting, but I have not yet drawn a conclusion on it

- I invite others to comment on it more

If the article was presented like that, you wouldn't have so many comments here stating that they find your conclusion premature and misunderstanding your intention.

If your intent is really to call for investigation, I would suggest that you add an addendum section to the article clarifying your goals and purpose, as it seems that overwhelmingly readers are not taking this interpretation.
