The problem parents often solve with a phone is not fun, but contact. When they are away from their kid, they want to know where the kid is, to be able to talk to them, and to have the kid able to call them. This is often especially important to divorced parents, who want to be able to contact the kid directly when at the other parent's house.

The problem a kid often solves with the phone is also not fun, but social connection to friends.
What about that unscheduled building tour is so important?

Max kinda makes sense compared to the other level, since it's the full-spec part, and the others are lower-binned derivatives. Since Ultra is really two Max-grade chips welded together, seems like they should have done something like M2 Duo ... ah.
With the M2 transition, I feel we're back in the days of the PowerMac G5.

It was a beast on its own, but the main issue for comparison was that you couldn't just do the same things. If you're working on video editing or Photoshop perhaps, but if you're developping games for instance you'll want an x86 computer, and however good the M2 specs are on benchmarks, you can't compare it on real world usage anymore.

For ML it seems there are efforts to be ARM compatible, then VR is a weird bit where current ecosystem is x86 only, but the introduction of the Apple headset could probably help ?

For scientific research, I was under the impression that Nvida/AMD GPUs were a given, and Metal had very little support.

What would the other serious uses of a high power machine that could help make comparison with other actual workstations ?

I'd never noticed any issues with Google until a few months ago where I was googling an exact phrase that I knew appeared on one site. Google gave me nothing but DuckDuckGo found it.

The site is probably 20 years old and has no SSL, but still... giving me no results is worse then giving me the one correct result.

The point is that just because someone with a chest full of medals says something, that doesn't make it so. You have to look into the evidence for the thing itself.

I agree with the broken "Prelude". Fortunately, you can mostly ignore the Prelude and replace it with your own fairly easily. (As you suggest.)

The bigger problem is that strings are broken: by default they are linked lists of Characters. You can use better strings (like Data.Text) and you even get to use them as literals in your source, but the language ecosystem of libraries mostly assumes that you are using the default strings. And converting back and forth is annoying.

Because of all the existing libraries, it's harder to route around [Char] by yourself.

People still need products to solve problems. When you ask an AI "I have X problem, what products could I use to resolve it?" that is a natural and ethical time to include advertisers into the equation. The LLM can be trained on product specifications, details, and relevant uses, as well as plug in to a review database. Companies can pay to be included in the results of possible solutions and the AI can use the available information to make specific recommendations based on real data.

Hopefully, the future will completely prune intrusive, non-consensual advertising completely and any companies that inject thoughts into our minds will fail.
Digital photography had already won by the time the iPad came out 13 years ago, the DSLR and Point and Shoots were everywhere, and Kodak was on the brink of bankruptcy. Smartphones as awesome cameras didn't really take off until 2010-2011 with the iPhone 4/4s, where it was competing with point and shoots.

Facehugger AR is potentially great for bringing remote people into your living room. AppleTV is getting FaceTime, (and Zoom/webex), SharePlay already exists to sync media across remote participants, etc.

I don’t think younger people understand your description of how thick Computer Shopper was.

That makes sense. In that case it seems like the best thing would be a dumb phone, not a smart phone. Or, if a smartphone, one that's pretty limited in range of functionality, at least.
I'd go so far as to say it's unlikely the average C programmer has ever written a program with defined behaviour.
+1 and I say this as a rust fan.

The rust programmers that learned C first always have very elegant solutions and have the least issues in their unsafe blocks.

C to learn how memory works and how to manage resources, then Rust to understand how to use a higher level systems language for more productivity in places where it helps.

I work as a C++ dev and there are jobs in it, but unless you are trying to work a C++ job, the other two are wayyy better.

> Your claim is that bioaccumulation is not a problem because

We have decades of living with the results (event was 1986), decades of scientific research (not just reactors, but medicine and space), and high political motivation to demonstrate harm (as it shows the failure of the USSR and communism). That in all this time and with all this money and motivation, we have not gathered data that conclusively says that the bioaccumulation is a problem. That is the basis of my claim: almost 40 years of analysis of the exact event and 80 years of health physics (the study of radiation on humans).

Mostly what I take issue to is that you're saying science doesn't matter. At least this is how it comes off. I actually agree that point a and b are orthogonal. The second paragraph is written to address a second point. I have a complaint about a common false fear mongering claim by the article and I also add some information that is about the article's main topic. They don't become a singular argument due to proximity. Paragraph 2's only mention of humans is that they probably shouldn't live there, which is difficult to confuse with "it is safe to live in Chernobyl because bavarian boar, hunted a thousand kilometers away, is safe to eat despite their radiation levels." Forgive me, but it is difficult to not feel frustrated and interpret you as not actually reading what I wrote. Definitely not in good faith.

Ok. Let’s accept this whistleblower is saying the truth and the U.S. has been secretly retrieving crashed UFOs.

Is there something special about the US’s landmass that UFOs only crash there? Or do superior alien life forms who have the capability to travel between planets and probably solar systems, for some reason are only interested in the U.S. when they come to explore the earth?

If not, then where are all the other UFOs crashing on the rest of the planet? Who’s recovering them secretly? Why don’t UFOs ever crash into dense urban areas? Why do UFOs never crash into the vast majority of areas of the planet which simply lack the secrets preserving capability ascribed to US government by all these “whistle blowers”?

The “random US military guy claiming a govt conspiracy to hide UFOs” claims collapse at the slightest bit of probing. What it does indicate, however, is either a media that’s intentionally or unintentionally extremely credulous to claims of UFOs from the military and/or the U.S. military is just filled with undisciplined crazies.
Right. But you can fumble through writing a lot of (maybe subtly wrong) C code. I certainly did for many years. You can't fumble through writing Rust. Its an order of magnitude more difficult to learn because the compiler won't compile "bad" code. Unlike C all the pain happens up front.

Rust hurts when you're learning it. C hurts when you're trying to debug your program.

If you've never written low level code before, I wouldn't start with rust. Zig or C are both much better options when getting started. But learning rust eventually will make you a better programmer.

These will easily take a hand off so most of the machines designed after the mid-80s required the operator to press two buttons as a safety to cut and a pedal to initiate the clamp. The older ones from the 70s just required a push on a pair of foot pedals, or a pedal and a single button -- which was obviously stupid. Once the safer machines came around we got those.

I used to operate one as a kid in middle/high school before I went off to college. You can fit measure to sub-mm precision before clamping and making the cut. It was a really beautiful thing to see it cleave the edges off of several inches of paper like a hot knife cutting through room temperature butter. A real shame filling up bins and bins and bins of cuttings to toss in the trash (this was before recycling was a common thing).

Changing the blades was quite the ordeal and you had to do it frequency to send off for regrinding. At least on the machines we had. They're basically 20+lb razer blades.

Source: I grew up in a family printing business and we had machines like this to cut the margins and printer marks off of the edges of fresh printed material to help get it ready for binding or delivery. Almost every printed page goes through something like this.
Patents are a feudalist holdover in a modern capitalist economy.
Is this something you are currently doing? Or more a theory?

I know one parent, a software developer, whose kid goes to a school that strongly encouraged this and so they signed up for it. It seems to work fine for them. In contrast, I know other parents who have given their kids phones and it is quite hard to completely monitor their usage of it. Around the house, parents develop a background sense for where their kids are and what they're doing. If you hear a kid go into the kitchen, your ears perk up to make sure they're, say, getting cereal rather than playing with knives and fire. But a kid doing perfectly safe things on a phone looks about like a kid doing dangerous things on their phone. And a phone is portable enough that you can't really directly supervise them all the time.

The headline caught my eye because my birthday is on the 8th ;)

But to the topic. I have 3 kids and only my daughter (over ten) has a phone. We gave her an old iPhone and I disabled everything from internet to blocking foreign numbers. She has books and music access and can write to her friends. I‘m really against opening the internet at her age because I see one not the point why she would need it at that age and because we have some nice negative examples of „zombie“ kids walking around only having conversations in little chunks between smartphone breaks.

I grew up without a phone. And when I got my first phone (around 15) it was a dumb brick. To be fair it where the late 90th, early 2000 ;) Internet wasn‘t even big for me.

My other two kids don‘t have a phone. But also: I wouldn’t simply put an age to that decision. I mean either the person is right or not. I hear no complains from my kids and feel rarely the effects of social pressure. Also helps that my wife is resolute as a stone when it comes to that topic :)
> Ignoring the fact that this comment has a completely different bar than OP,

Op didn't say anything else did that much, they asked why apple didn't.

Any valid answer to that needs to also explain why apple didn't do intermediate amounts, or even as much as the old mac pro.

So I thought it would be helpful to give you examples that have much more memory than a mac pro, even if they're not 32TB.

Though I didn't even realize the old model could do a full 1.5TB, so I didn't even need to bother linking other systems. 1.5TB is plenty to highlight the weakness of a 192GB maximum.

> I’m asking about desktops. Is there a desktop

If you're being picky about desktop versus workstation, mac pro is the latter and workstations are completely valid here.

It really depends on the kind of systems programming you are doing. As a rough heuristic, C for embedded because portability across odd silicon; C++ for complex software close to the metal, like database kernels; Rust for somewhat higher level software — not so close to the metal — where performance matters. Right tool for the job, and all that.

All are good choices in the right context. None is unambiguously superior for all systems programming use cases.
American here. I’ve never heard of it, and I read the news all day. It is very well written if it’s fake, but I mean I could hypothetically do that too…

If it’s even a real article, “whistleblower” is a busted term in the US right now. Rather than referring to some Erin Brokovitch, it currently means “an interest group has become aware of an allegation!”

I mean. Anyone can make an allegation. It doesn’t cost money unless you are doing fraud or defamation someone cares about. Dangerous examples have manifested as a tit-for-tat thing in congress, lately.

But. No one’s going to believe criminal intent or sue me for saying that President David Blaine, Esq, was observed disappearing at the White House Easter Egg Hunt. So I can kinda just say it.

If I said it on a platform watched by conspiracy theorists, with intent, it might be different, but almost certainly not.

...and "beige box" off a COCOT...

I think you mean red box. Red boxing was when you generated, or just recorded/played back the tones for different coins. The idea was to trick the phone into thinking you put in money. We only had one customer owned payphone we knew about that it worked on, but it was glorious.(even though we had noone to call)

A beige box is a telephone cable with alligator clips on the one end. You could ofcourse use it on a COCOT, but you could also use it on any telephone line.
Apple seems to be taking a wait-and-see approach with AV1. Sure, they're an AOM member, but lots of companies are members of bodies that they aren't enthusiastic about. I'm not saying that's the case with Apple. I'm just pointing out that membership doesn't mean enthusiastic support.

Microsoft withheld AVIF (AV1 image format) support from Edge despite the fact that Chrome/Chromium support it and Microsoft said it was due to licensing issues (https://toot.cafe/@slightlyoff/109899372183448386). It is finally getting support, but clearly there was something Microsoft's lawyers were worried about. It's possible that Apple has some similar concerns, despite the fact that AVIF is supported for Safari. Maybe Apple thinks that some portions of AV1 that are only in video are problematic.

It's even possible that Apple has hardware support for AV1 in their M2 chips and just has it locked away until their lawyers green-light it.

Companies and their lawyers are going to see a lot more claims than we do about this stuff. We know Microsoft was concerned about AVIF, but we have no idea what their licensing concerns were. It might just remain a mystery to us for a while.
True, but I personally feel it's just as potentially damaging to the psyche, if not more so, in certain ways.

> It's unlikely the average C programmer has never written a program with undefined behavior

I'd add that the average C programmer can't spot UBs before they cause a problem, they are not your average bug. Unless you're very well read or are just told about them, that is.

I highly recommend learning enough C that you at least decently understand pointers. That’s a major stumbling block and worth overcoming.
You're seriously overestimating the experience of the Quest Pro. Have a read of Nilay Patel's experience with the Vision Pro: it doesn't even come close.

Another rust fan here (with 3 years experience writing it full time at this point). I agree with all of this.

C knowledge also helps to understand what rust's borrow checker is actually doing. And it will teach you what Box / Rc / etc are for. Its surprisingly easy to write rust code that Box everywhere, and runs very slowly in practice. (I've seen rust programs run slower than their javascript equivalents). Learning C first will give you the right knowledge base to appreciate rust and use it well.
Well there have been other places to have reported objects crash landing - Brazil, France and Russia being the most commonly cited examples from what I've heard about.

No, but the US as the global superpower is most threatened by the appearance of a superior authority, so they have the most interest in creating a counterintelligence campaign about the topic, hence why the US seems obsessed with creating UFO info (and disinfo).

C is a good learning language for systems programming, no doubt about it. All of the elementary concepts are exposed in a simple way that will server you well in any systems programming language. It was also a language design that informed many of the systems language designs that came later, so the history is educational.

However, it is not a productive systems programming language these days compared to C++, Rust, or Zig.
