Microsoft proper has a macbook clone (and I mean a laptop clearly meant to imitate a macbook as close as possible) with a keyboard and trackpad that felt substantial and appealing.

I believe it was the "surface 5" or maybe the "surface studio."

I don't remember the model, but they were on display at best buy (a place I don't like shopping at all, and would have never purchased from).

I was strongly considering a non apple device and if I were going to choose one, it would have been that purchased through microsoft.

Given the geopolitical climate and lenovo's crimes against security (superfish), I would never consider a lenovo laptop.

I forget what dell did, but they did something that made it so I will never buy from them.

When I have bought laptops in the past, they have been acer, asus, and HP. All of them were functional, but low quality and definitely inferior to apple products.
Activex did way more than render things.
Nobody wants it SO MUCH that Reddit has banned people trying to get people to go there.
I mean apple has a tried and true playbook for supporting external providers, I'm not worried

charge them random % of revenue, force them to funnel all transactions through apple, let random junior employees disable the 3rd party's bugfixes for reasons(tm), and eventually refuse to license new entrants because there are too many flashlight apps

I'm not worried
If you're referring to the first answer, the last update is almost a month older than the article I posted. Are you referring to something else?

If not, are you suggesting the article I posted is lying? There are a bunch of articles on this topic/flag, which were posted on the same day as the link I wrote earlier (17th of April).
I think the correct answer is "don't"
Got it, so you're just making it up and moving goalposts along the way.

At least you make it plainly obvious.
>Turnitin advertises the feature as "98% accurate". That's a pretty terrible accuracy rate for potentially destroying someone's life.

Assuming the 98% applies to both false negatives and positives:

For a given 20k person school, assuming they each write only one paper a year that's run through this, an administrator gets to expel 400 students a year!

What fun!
The majority probably were.

Can you go into more detail? So you're saying that at a 200 P/E ratio NVDA there isn't even enough wafer supply for NVDA to grow into that valuation even over 5 years?
It’s exciting seeing Apple take on one of the last major things that it does significantly worse than Windows.

Even Linux runs many more games than macOS can.

I would love to see more of my Steam catalog become useable on my M1 Mac mini.
It was real for many years. I doubt Aaron, kn0thing or even Huffman at the time considered it a bait with a long term plan to get to the current state.

I think part of it might be that the only use case for which crypto really works is for drug dealers to safely conduct transactions.

I believe in the right to privacy, but I believe in it as an extension of a personal right to self-expression. Freedom to practice your religion, to date whomever you want, etc (provided it doesn't hurt others), sure. Freedom to hold 10^9 USD secretly so that you don't have to pay tax on it and can peddle drugs, not really.
> “The Animal Welfare Sentience Bill provides a crucial assurance that animal wellbeing is rightly considered when developing new laws. The science is now clear that crustaceans and molluscs can feel pain and therefore it is only right they are covered by this vital piece of legislation.”

What does this mean practically in day-to-day? Will they be banned as food items or have to be killed in specific ways only, or something else?
Came for everyone ripping on a16z. Was not disappointed. Thanks y’all.
I agree with the spirit but saying that open source is on track to outpace OpenAI in innovation is just not true. Open source models are being compared to GPT3.5, none yet even get close to GPT4 quality and they finished that last year.
Regarding your first bullet, I am not sure if that's what people want. One of the best part of story telling like a TV show or movie is that everyone watched the same thing and then can refer to it later. How much more isolating does VR tech need to be?
Beauty of the Fediverse?

You're getting downvoted but to be honest, it's true -- Safari's layout engine and JS execution is just so glitchy and unpredictable. I'm guessing it's because they're prioritizing speed/efficiency over accuracy, but as a web dev it's...frustrating.
> I don't see how this is any different than early linux when no hardware manufacturers had any interest in supporting it.

It's very different. Hardware manufacturers in the 90s were incentivized to support Linux to expand their customer base. A trillion-dollar corporation has no incentive to sell their hardware to a niche of a niche of technical users who are not part of their software ecosystem.

Another major difference is that Asahi is a small team of dedicated volunteers who want to run Linux on their Macs. They're a niche intersection of Linux hackers and Apple fans. Unsupported hardware in the 90s typically had a much larger customer base and group of hackers willing to spend time adding supporting for it.

Even worse: Apple can decide at any point to make their hardware much more difficult to support. Newer models or firmware updates might break things. Being at the whims of a corporation that is the antithesis of F/LOSS to run Linux on their hardware doesn't inspire confidence.

> Its good for there to be more hardware architecture competition!

> Support for linux/arm will only continue to improve as more people use it.

Agreed. I'm glad that Asahi exists. But we've had ARM Linux distros for decades now. What Asahi is doing is specifically to support Apple hardware. Some improvements will trickle out to improve general ARM support, but this points out the gargantuan task they're actually up against. Not only do they need to reverse engineer the hardware, they have to resolve all software issues with Linux and ARM. My hat's off to them. The willpower, patience and skills required to wade through the absolute mountain of issues must be astronomical. Yet this is also part of my concern; how long can a developer keep the motivation and sanity to swim against the current?

It's great that Asahi works for you and everyone else. I'm just pointing out why it will likely never be my choice for any serious work.
"If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster phones"
> I think you are setting yourself up for disappointment in the future.

Why would you say that?
Not sure if you're joking, because that is hilarious, but they do offer that sort of thing. Reddit Premium (née Reddit Gold iirc).

https://www.reddit.com/premium

They don't revenue share with moderators though, because as far as Reddit is concerned, fuck moderators.
Lots are planning an indefinite shutdown until decision reversal. If they have people that moderate exclusively through apps it's a forced shutdown anyway, because the alternative is immediate ban due to being unmoderated.
heyitsguay is correct, but in addition:

- The researchers didn't even explore quantization. In theory 4 bit quant would allow for training on even more modest hardware.

- Memory use aside, forward pass only is potentially a big training speed increase.

- This method is very amenable to decentralized training.

It scares me because it feels like a gateway to networked, self training LLMs on commodity hardware. I thought this was a long way away... now it doesn't feel so far away.

> Let's talk about braid theory. In the quantum world, particles can be thought of as strands, and their interactions as braids. The braids weave and loop around each other, creating intricate patterns, a dance of existence. Each unique pattern, or braid, represents a different state of the particle. The magic is that the braids can't get tangled.

That is not too far off hahahaha
Svelte already has that and much simpler and more performant than react does.

If they won't do it, they'll fall behind.

With Svelte I can render a reactive statically rendered website.
Nothing to my knowledge can do that in the JS framework world.

This is the least BS UAP/UFO claim to date, purely due to the amount of reputation, commitment to a long drawn out timeline, and processes that have been followed for THIS official to go public.

This is the most credible the saucer heads have ever looked.

I watched a brief clip of the interview and the way he is guarded about some of the subjects makes it seem like there is also more to it than what he has claimed, which is a lot.

I am still not convinced, but I'm certainly closer than I was two days ago.
> The review also evaluated the potential welfare implications of current commercial practices involving these animals. It recommends against declawing, nicking, eyestalk ablation, the sale of live decapod crustaceans to untrained, non-expert handlers, and extreme slaughter methods such as live boiling without stunning. It also includes suggestions for best practices for transport, stunning and slaughter.

Good grief. I wish we could skip the incrementalism for once and just put an end to all animal slaughter, extreme or not.
They should’ve called it eyeOS instead of visionOS

It seems to me that most popular Mastodon/Lemmy instances outlaw more stuff than reddit. How good they are at enforcing it is another matter.
Wow that is significant!
The "very clear about the fact it cannot detect a heart attack" thing is so obnoxious that it actually kinda breaks that app. If you got a messy/noisy EKG reading and want to do it again, you have to carefully scrooll to the bottom of the page and click done. Or you accidentally tap the large grey box at the top that takes you to a multi-page legal explanation of how it's not meant to detect a heart attack - and that page has a teeny tiny button at the top left to take you back to the last page.
all of the above
> Things can get pretty weird if you allow memory corruption. Some languages say that certain things are Undefined Behavior

UB in C allows for a lot more than just memory corruption though (c.f.: nasal demons). Also, what about alternatives to UB, such as requiring a compiler error and/or runtime fatal error?
Your understanding of incentives is backwards. Politician's stock portfolios aren't fixed in stone. They can sell their Oil & Gas and then short it, or more importantly invest in whatever single company they would steer the commercialization of a new power source to. Defense stocks go up, not down, when people discover there is a new threat we need to arm ourselves against with newer weapons because the old ones were inadequate. And major religious organizations wouldn't suffer at all if aliens exist - I know of no major religion that denies the existence of alien life. Meanwhile, during turmoil, more people turn to religion.
Anything like this but for photo imaging manipulation?

They showed in the demos mixing your desktop screen with native visionOS apps so I'm pretty sure this will be possible. It will be really cool if Apple allows a "Coherence"-type mode (a la Parallels) to pull macOS windows themselves into your space and not just a 2D pane that mirrors your desktop. Even if I can only create some virtual monitors in 3D I'm sold. I'm writing this on a MacBook running 3 external monitors right now and I bought a duplicate setup for my parents house when I had to stay there for about a month for some medical treatments for my dog (closest place that did the procedure) because I didn't want to lose my productivity (also wanted to make it easier to visit them regularly without worrying about work productivity). Being able to just grab my laptop and my Vision Pro would be amazing and would open up travel to way more places.
Crazy that educators think 98% accuracy is good. My back of the napkin math suggests that it's statistically improbable to NOT be flagged at some point in a 4 year program. This kind of gross negligence should be dealt with. It sounds like there are no responsible parties somehow. This poor woman's life is altered at a critical time in her life. Someone should be held responsible.
Reddit useless to me, because I am either banned or shadowbanned in several of the subreddits dedicated to my interests or which are otherwise relevant.

r/Winnipeg, which is my hometown and still a city I drive into on the regular, is controlled as an echo chamber by a group of elite admins. It doesn't matter what kind of echo chamber, except to say, it's my viewpoint that dominates the echo chamber.

Nonetheless, my tone (which on Reddit was very similar to my tone on here) was enough to get me shadowbanned. If I have no voice in the sub dedicated to my community based on an arbitrary decision by an unknown admin and which I wasn't even supposed to know about, let alone appeal the decision... that's a garbage platform, you ask me.

r/GratefulDead is likewise run by a tiny dictator. In theory there's other admins that could take action, but they don't.

In theory this is all fine and within Reddit's rules, which are clearly garbage. If they are positioning themselves as the de facto public square, you can't have arbitrary and anonymous censorship.
I believe this could use a (2021) in its headline.
Agreed with you 100% - its not easy. Sometimes I just wish someone as talented as Georgi would innovate not just on the core tech side but bring that same tenancy to the licensing side, in a way that aligns incentives better and tries out something new. And that the community would have his back if some new approach failed, no matter what.
I'm trying to understand what GP meant by "strong" here. TFA doesn't say anything about "strength" of typing.
I signed up for Lemmy and was approved. Then I tried to create a community. It never worked. I tried numerous times on different computers, but it just spins and spins after clicking the create button. I have no idea why since there are no error messages. If they really want Lemmy to succeed, they need to do a lot more work to make it user friendly.
SRAM is so stupid fun to play with.

All of a sudden you don't care so much about the inefficiencies of walking linked lists or trees. When everything is "already in cache", you can worry less about cache efficient algorithms!

1 cycle memory access latency is one of the reasons why tiny embedded MCUs can do things with a fraction of the MHZ of their larger counterparts.

Now days of course it is all about tons of memory, tons of bandwidth, craptons of compute, and planning the flow of data ahead of time.
What Mr. Bean gets wrong about electric cars
Guilt tipping - that's exactly how I would describe my experience in Germany. I talked with someone who works as a waitress in a bar, and from her words, the customer is expected to tip 10% for good service. Her definition of good service was more of an average service when nothing went bad. And tipping should be limited only to the staff job, so the fact that more than half of the establishments in Germany accept only cash is not a valid reason to tip less apparently. And the most important reason according to her for customers having to tip was the fact that the waiters earn a minimum wage.
I find this whole thing ridiculous. The industry and the establishment owner managed to convince them that it is my duty as a customer to give them tips and feel responsible for them making a minimum wage.
Love that analysis. Reminds me of some experiences on drugs where, if you empty your mind tabula rasa, movies look like compressed guides to emotions and relating in society. Hard to see normally because of how much experience and context we bring in.

There are also different lenses you can watch through.

The typical one is immersion - keeping track of the characters, feeling the tension as it ratchets up and down.

The two others I like are background - keeping track of the scenery as if it's a character, reading lighting and detail as its moods.

And naive sequential - treating each shot as if its a direct reply to the previous one.
since 2014 I was using angular.js.
Since feb 2016 I've started to use Angular 2, which were a release-candidate version back then and became a stable release just in oct-nov 2016!
So I don't know what the author means by "Just two years later (after 2012), the Angular team launched Angular 2" but it definitely doesn't smell good!!
I've migrated codebases from C to C++. The resultant codebases were an order of magnitude easier to support, easier to extend, and breathed new life into existing product lines. I had this experience at 3 different companies over the course of 20 years.

Having said that, there are definitely "gotchas" that trip people up, but honestly, the biggest problems I've seen is people have a poor understanding of object-oriented analysis and design. Plus I'd love to get back all those hours of people arguing over whether methods should be private or protected, or virtual, and whatnot.

It took the industry a long time to figure out the best practices and by the time those emerged a lot of bad habits had been formed. That's the biggest advantage Rust has - they started with a clean slate after the best practices had been learned. C++ needs to maintain backward compatibility and as such, it's quite a complicated language. But not so complicated it can't be learned. It just requires more effort than most other languages.

I don't see how they can enforce this. Nor should they.
Um, I don’t think I was advocating any particular level of moderation, was I? More like visibility into its processes amd motivations, and that providing those convincingly and to an appropriate extent is the moderators’ responsibility. Dang’s please-stop-this essays here come to mind, for example—even if not everybody can be dang and not every community would be moved by such essays.

(There are moderation practices that I disapprove of and are not coincidentally outright incompatible with the view I expressed. Like the advice to just ban the user if you dislike interacting with them or if they’re complaining about suppression—especially in a small community like that advice was targeted at, I know I’d be more or less unsalvageably bitter after witnessing this in practice, let alone being its target. But it’s still not the strength that upsets me in this hypothetical, it’s more the perceived arbitrariness. Which, if the moderator is not in fact being arbitrary, is again a communication problem, not a policy one.)

Moderation is overhead, but so is Postgres. Both are very useful solutions to real and difficult problems. Both still have to pay for themselves with some mix of user-visible shinies and keeping out of the way instead of grumbling about how difficult the problem is. The correct choice of that mix is highly situational and I don’t pretend to have the panacea in that respect.
I would agree that there needs to be a balance because wasting time babysitting adults is dumb, but what if one person is a good and loved contributor, and the other is a social justice warrior new to the project that is picking fights with the contributor? Your philosophy makes not only bad stewardship but an injustice. I'm not suggesting this is the only scenario, just merely a hypothetical that I think illustrates my position.
What a shitshow.

> Stivers received an email from her professor indicating that a portion of it had been flagged by Turnitin as AI-written

> Last month, a Texas professor incorrectly used ChatGPT in trying to assess whether students had completed an assignment using that software. It claimed to have written every essay he fed in — so he temporarily withheld a whole class’ final grades.

> William Quarterman, a senior and history major at the college. A professor had run his exam answers through an AI detection called GPTZero, which returned a positive result. The professor gave Quarterman a failing grade and referred him to the same student affairs office

Let's let professors indict students based on untested (and amateur) AI algorithms that not even the vendors completely comprehend and subject the accused to a process in which they are presumed guilty until they prove their innocence-- while they mortgage their future paying 5 to 6 figures for the privilege.

These are the real AI "safety" issues that need to be addressed. The only "danger" posed by AI is in its total lack of accountability. This is outright abusive behavior on the part of colleges, who wasted no time in weaponizing it to conduct virtual arbitration. The irony of an AI system flagging students for copying what someone else wrote is apparently lost on everyone.
you hit the nail on the spot. I tried to register, I didn't get how it works and I consider myself somewhat tech savvy. Closed and never opened again. Twitter is so much easier to use and it is all in one place instead of trying to find servers(?) on mastodon.
My question on the very slow growth of available memory: are there technical reasons they cannot trivially build a card with 100GB of RAM (even with lower performance) or has it been a business decision to milk the market for every penny?
How would you be trolled? You asked and you got answered. What are you disagreeing with?
Your statement is very broad.
Might be the startup culture and lacking technological expertise, no?

Was insert-startup-product-built-on-.NET fast 15 years ago, for example?

Not trying to be controversial, just wondering.

I agree that a product built by clueless developers stringing together random libraries or bad custom code in React would create slow products.

In your spirit, I might argue that thinking "reactively" and client-centric tends to lead to unneeded requests.

Developing without meaningful API contracts or basic CS skills also makes it easy to unintendedly blow up network payloads.

Caching is hard though.

Have you worked on bad PHP applications that reload on every interaction without caching?
Potentially due to Kick providing some competitive pressure. I've noticed a lot of smaller streamers multi-streaming with Kick mentioned in their stream title.
