You don't even have to open up the laptop anymore with pcie pass through on thunderbolt/usb4, you can attach NVMe physically externally without the typical USB IO hit. That gets into a discussion of enough ports and docks and what not but it is possible and in many cases pretty easy. Of course, that tends to cost extra as that tech isn't ubiquitous yet, but it's cheaper than a separate laptop.

Now, if you're doing this for concerns regarding discovery, I'd just use separate devices, as my confidence is low the court wouldn't just require the entire host(s) involved anyway.

This is personally why my environment is not tied to a specific host. Should any given device(s) get caught up in discovery I can still build/recover a full fresh environment on a new device relatively unimpeded - and do so regularly to ensure it's not just a theoretical. It can be a hassle, but at least I'm not trying to juggle devices in that way and have flexibility to either BYOB or work with client supplied kit and still bring my env and tools with me.

That is the freemium model and more or less the model that I thought the open source community had long ago agreed was acceptable. Open source development for free is cool with what spare time you have, but at a certain point you have to pay your own bills to keep a roof over your head, food in your belly, maintain your health, and actually be able to enjoy your life. Value added features and support have long been the way open source companies have been able to do that.
I know we are the minority (maybe not necessarily on HN) but if I could upvote it multiple times I would.
The problem in your analysis is that you are thinking about the money rather than thinking about the resources. All those people haven't gone anywhere and all the capital (as run down as it is) still exists. The wealthy are not very useful when it comes to contributing, because they don't have that much more to contribute than anyone else (even purloining their additionally consumed resources doesn't contribute very much). In truth, what needs to happen is the government needs to realise that what limits our wealth is our resource constraints and enact policies on that basis, instead of fussing about artificial financial constraints.
I'm also very keen on this.
> Screw Brother. I'm tired of reading that they're "the one good brand" out there. They are very not.

OK but is there any other alternative? Wife's SME: two Brother printers (these are with official support for everything although I did have to modify a few settings here or there when they moved office and their router IP changed for example). Home number one: Brother printer. Home number two: Brother printer.

It's really pathetic if they started preventing other toners from working but they're still fine machines.

What would I replace our four Brother laser printers with?

Basically I read your post and Brother "won": I'll just make sure to buy official Brother toners. Which sucks.
... or working in an environment or on a problem for which functional patterns apply.

Suppose you are writing a "CRUD" app that writes to a relational database, how do you apply functional programming to that? The whole point of an application like that is that it makes side effects.

In some cases you can break those problems down into functional pieces. Consider Python drivers for a product like

https://www.arangodb.com/

One major problem is that you want drivers that work synchronously and asynchronously, the structure of the average api call is something like

def query(parameters):
encoded_parameters = encode_parameter(parameters)
url = generate_rest_url(configuration, parameters)
response = do_post(url, encoded_parameters)
return decode_response(response)

To make that async all you have to do is stick "async" before the def and put an "await" before the do_post. 95% of the API calls have a structure like the above. Most of the complexity lives in encode_parameter(), generate_rest_url() and decode_response() are all perfectly functional functions that are easy to test. Code gen the API stubs and you get sync and async switching almost for free. Contrast that to the option of mocking do_post.
It does. Perhaps my wry attempt to illustrate that very similarity was lost on you?
I don't get where this sentiment comes from. I build software specifically on the concept of predictable results from llm's being composable.

Sure, the results are not deterministic in that 100% of the time the exact prompt returns the exact same result, but you can tune your prompts so that 100% of the time they give you a valid result in the result category you were seeking, and with a specific probability distribution of available choices.

Prompts are functions that can take concrete input and create a probabilistic output that can be automated upon. Especially if you only need to output one token, i.e a number, boolean, word, object reference. And for obvious reasons - the further you forecast out in a sequence the less accurate you will be.

As long as you don't change the underlying model, in a massive model with billions of parameters, there are definitely mechanisms and behaviors to discover that you can reason about.

If they do, there's no harm done. The new this inference stuff is just a brevity enhancement, yes?

You have to understand that it's a Sisyphean struggle to get people to use modern C++ features at all. You still see people passing around std::string instances by value and manually calling new and delete. They're ignorant of variants and think "final" is an advanced feature. I'm happy if they get as far as understanding even how to use CRTP.

There's a vast gulf in skill between the expert C++ practitioner who appreciates a blog post like the one linked and one who's been dragooned without training into writing some enterprise C++ thing. The latter relates to C++ as an inscrutable Lovecraftian god who might eat him slightly later if he makes the right cultist noises and does the right syntax dance.
Well you know what his answer's gonna be.

Yeah. They're fine for messing around/learning with keras/sklearn, but anything heavier than some light inference is going to be offloaded to a device with a discrete GPU.
But support of trans people does not deny women their rights. That is your strawman. You can support both cis women and trans women. This doesn't have to be a dichotomy.

> That lesbians get attacked for "genital preferences" or women for saying "actually, don't call us menstruating bodies, we're women", is just a continuation of that.

Of course attacking lesbians or women in general is not okay. But that doesn't require throwing trans people under the bus either.
There is actually an old argument about whether Computer Science is math or science. The lack of hypotheses and physicality drives the "it's math" camp. I tend to fall into that camp. Most computer science is either math or applied math.

That said, most of machine learning is not just engineering. If anything, there is little engineering done at all.
The fact you have to install a separate patcher from a third party company to fix all the glaring issues with windows is telling. Don't have to do that with a Mac. I use both at work and Mac is less cumbersome and easier to work with than Windows, hands down. Windows is a fractured user experience; they're trying too hard to shove the whole "tiles" thing from W8 into everything else and having ads baked into the OS is appalling. Mac doesn't do that out of the box and I don't need to install anything to make it an enjoyable user experience.
This is just a weak PR statement. Alma and Rocky already revealed that these things are not trivial to maintain and I fail to see beyond pure fork how on earth would SUSE maintain RHEL compatibility and avoid litigation from IBM at the same time.

And then SUSE might be sold off again to some predatory company similar to IBM. What's even the point then of not using pure community distros like Debian?
"Windows doesn't feel like adware if you run fairly-scary third-party tools on it first" probably isn't the best sell to non-techy people. (Which I figure is who we have to be talking about, since we're responding to a market-trends article.)

I've always been aware of C++ (obviously!) but it seemed impenetrable to me coming from my experience with C# and JavaScript. So I was really pleasantly surprised when I tried it out a while ago using the C++20 standard: it felt entirely usable! But then I tried Rust, which felt like that plus a pile of even better stuff. It's been difficult to find a reason to go back since but I'm glad to see even more progress is being made.
Remove 11 and install Windows 10 LTSC IOT edition until the equivalent for 11 drops.

Make Windows shut up for good with Tinywall (https://tinywall.pados.hu/) and whitelist applications as needed.
Actually, Windows keeps getting better. WSL is a revelation, anyone that says otherwise is in denial. The Windows 11 interface makes Windows 10 look so dated. In some ways the interface is shaping up to look better then MacOS (still very inconsistent.) The main problems are they are yanking some legacy things that power users have loved. People complain about "ads" in Windows, I never notice, if I do it's easy to turn off. Apple does similar, but no one ever complains.
Has anybody tried using this on a large (500k+) photo collection?
I did find it disturbing as well at first but reading the rest of the article cleared things up. It's a lot less brutal than it sounds. The male strips "old skin", just before they're ready to molt. So he's not really damaging the female. Which makes sense since harming the female only reduces his chances of reproduction.
Unlike the start menu, I've yet to see advertising when I open the Launchpad or Spotlight. Also, I can complete setup on my Mac without having to create an Apple ID, and if I opt out the system respects that and is quite usable.

Finally, I can easily put the dock (which W11 imitates, badly) on the left hand side of my screen if I wish. But I suppose Macs are less customisable?
Yeah see how that works. Not enough people care to make that a single issue for voting.

1. This is a feature of the base software, largely inherent to the core feature (see below)

2. Is is configurable and I believe mostly off by default, depending on install method

3. It is lit up in their demo instance

4. It is not a bespoke content filter, this is an `AI POWERED` app that classifies and labels photos so that they can be indexed for text search. Everything is processed through a NASNet and labeled. The upload filter just does some pretty rudimentary heuristics on the labels and decides if it will allow or quarantine the upload. To be clear, It is all server side-- the image is uploaded, its just quarantined.
The Windows UI gets worse in that gets more dumbed down and Mac like, but I find it keeps getting more stable.

I switched from from Macs to Microsoft Surfaces when they first came out and found them to be significantly more stable.

I can't deny that new Macbooks might be the best hardware you can get, but I'm still going with a Framework running Linux for my next portable.
Half of these "achievements" are simply highlighting spam/abuse on the platform which goes relatively unchecked since it still equates to usage & drives up metrics.

I've got a 2017 flagship Samsung Galaxy, and it only ever received 1 update in 2018 - so it was considered defunct by Samsung before my contract even expired. The earlier iPhone 7 it replaced got major version update support to 2021, and still gets minor patches, including one a couple of weeks ago.

Even comparing like-for-like on flagship products, the androids perform poorly when it comes to Long Term Support.

Italics would have been useless with YOU since you have such poor language comprehension, as evidenced by your attempt to use a rule against me that you initially and then repeatedly violated.

Now for the rest of your bs:

I can't remember ever seeing anything about TV+ or Music, and the only time I'm told about iCloud storage is when my drive or backups are almost out of space, which makes sense.

There might be invitations to TV/Music when you install it or first use the OS or something (I can't remember), but there absolutely isn't anything "all the time".

But that can't be tail call optimized, so you should write something like

sum(n, acc=0) = n == 0 ? acc : sum(n-1, acc+1)

To me that negates much of the 'declarative' character of a functional style. I don't feel it's really clearer than the imperative for-loop

acc = 0
for i = 1 to n
acc += 1
> RF laws ... There's no way out for device manufacturers other than a complete chain of trust ...

You make the baseband processor physically separate from the app processor and run it off of firmware that the application processor can't reflash. All phones do this. Then it doesn't matter what boots up on the app processor, and only the baseband processor has to be certified. Nobody is trying to obey RF laws using Secure Boot on the application processor. There are other reasons for Secure Boot on the AP but this isn't one of them.
Lol, I’ve never heard a single person suggest that we’d be living in some LLM utopia if OpenAI was gone.

Echoing the sibling comment, I also have never seen this. I have gotten marketing emails from Apple regarding their bundle package for their services, but after unsubscribing to that I have never seen anything further. I certainly have never seen anything in the OS proper, for any device that I own.
Indeed. I didn't realize "diverging to zero" with a thing either.

I do think this is what the author had in mind, since he writes about the sum of the logs, "whose convergence is equivalent to the convergence of the product".

100. Cohere

All joking aside, I do agree with the sentiment that no one generally has any type of defensible moat at the moment. OpenAI has found a great balancing act between first mover advantage, marketing, customer adoption, and enterprise sales. They are executing at a high level. Anthropic (Claude) has a wonderful product but is lacking in consumer adoption and sales, though I think they're working on fixing that.

> It means those who cannot find partners to make families are further punished, making their chances to create families even lower.

Incentivization of family formation would push people to get married, it would not make family formation less likely. The entire point of incentivizing a behavior through providing benefits is to make it easier for people who partake in that behavior, therefore drawing people to it.

> They're turned to a literal slave caste to provide for other people's families.

I'm single, and due to various factors it's unlikely I'll be getting married in the immediate future. I'm one of the people who would be "punished" by my "down-right evil idea" but I still think it's good. Economic pressure would definitely make me more invested, not less, in getting married sooner. Calling this a creation of a "literal slave caste" is an extreme emotional exaggeration since I'm definitely not calling for myself to be enslaved by any meaningful usage of the term.

> I think this could be handled more elegantly, as Apple has been able to make x86 compatibility better and more performant than quite a bit of actual x86 silicon.

I wouldn’t count on this being the case going forward. Let’s not forget that some 4 years ago Apple decided to completely drop support for 32-bit apps. I wouldn’t be surprised if in 5-8 years time they decide to drop support for anything x86.

Apple hates supporting legacy crap. The exact moment when the vast majority of the recently updated Mac apps will have ARM builds, Apple will just set a release some years in the future that will kill native x86 support and that will be the end of it.
It's all about minimizing cognitive overhead. This happens in a few ways when you use strict functional patterns and a tight domain model:

- You can safely make more assumptions about how your program works
- You can rely on your type checker like a to-do list when extending your program

These two benefits require more discipline, but they make extension and support brain-dead easy.

For the record, you don't need Haskell to enjoy these benefits, you can get them in Python or TypeScript too, as long as you're disciplined in how you design your system.
