I think the overall increase in resources more than compensates for the noise.

When i was growing up (medium sized town early 2000s) i read all the computer books in my library. There was like 4, i remember one was a redhat for dummies, another was on vrml 1.0 (this was a bit outdated at the time), i dont remember the others. Sure there was some info on the internet, but it was few and far between. Random home pages by and large weren't even remotely on the level of a wikipedia article let alone a text book.

Now a days, if i want to learn about computer things, there are like a billion resources. Text based tutorials, youtube videos, almost anything you can imagine. And that is just the googlable ones. If i am willing to do something a tiny bit illegal, i can get basically any book ever published from libgen.

The available resources the modern person has is just staggering.
Good to know you came out fine after that incident. Health is number 1 above all at the end of the day.
I hope you get that buyer soon!
Because Apple.

The mass market are shills for Apple products.

Don't get me wrong - I love my MacBook; but I don't buy it because Apple - I just happen to love MacOS and the hardware.

But I hate their phones and headphones.

In my co-working center, probably 75% of people with over-ear headphones have AirPod Max. I did my own research and decided no way in hell I wanted those, nor would suggest for my partner (Who loves Apple). Both of us happy with Sony MX headsets. I laugh internally whenever I see the other people because I'm sure they bought it just on brand recognition alone.

They keep talking about cloud streaming, is anyone except executives at these companies taking cloud streaming seriously? Every time I've tried it it's been a mess of latency and fuzzy graphics. If I were at the CMA I'm not sure that's a factor in this deal that I would have given much thought at all.
You are creating a strawman.

The original argument is not "they created encryption that isn't broken before". The argument is "encryption created by competitions that are only refereed by NIST is trustworthy"
I was a fan of Google Desktop Search - that was actually able to find relevant content in my files, and it was fast. But Google killed it as soon as they decided to drive everyone into the cloud. Supposedly all major OSes have such an (indexed) search functionality integrated nowadays, but for some reason it doesn't really work, and I'm never motivated enough to find out how to fix it...
Sadly I did a lot of damage to mine attempting this process.
> Given that the animals are going to be euthanized, their health and wellbeing probably isn't the biggest concern for the scientists involved

But it should be. Saying "it doesn't matter because they'd be dead anyway" opens all sorts of slippery slopes if you apply it to other animals (eg. humans). We make moral tradeoffs to cause suffering when required in the name of science but it should be imperative to try to avoid it in other cases.

> how the animals are cared for can significantly change the results you get

Recall how they raised lab temperature by 1 degree and had reduced rates of cancer in mice... or something like that.
So basically the solution is to identify problematic kids very early, then take them away from their parents and put them in institutions to be raised by the state.

Because what you're expecting is for schools to take the place of parenting. If you're going to do that, you might as well just cut the parents and families out of the equation altogether.

That is a bit too harsh, his ears may not be the right size or shape. I have had a lot of problems with AirPod like headphones and had to try several models before I found ones that don't fall off.
I don't think so. I started the thread with:

>>>> We all benefited, yourself included, from having those early laws on the books.

then reinforced with

>>> The high-density car-free life you dream of would never have been possible

then reinforced, again, with

>> Because technology like the automobile was not around to support the high-density living that we enjoy now.

I thought I was being clear that I was referring to the dense car-free cities we now enjoy, or we expect to have, not overcrowded and unsanitary slums[1].

So you claiming that a dense car-free city is possible is irrelevant to "the car free city we now enjoy", because the car-free cities we now enjoy does not have millions of people living in overcrowded and unsanitary slums.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_London#19th_century:

> While the city grew wealthy as Britain's holdings expanded, 19th-century London was also a city of poverty, where millions lived in overcrowded and unsanitary slums.
We built a tool for lambda labs and other clouds that launches a specific instance whenever it becomes available and notifies you. We poll Lambda Labs for availability every 3 seconds. Would this be something that would be useful for you?
Measuring time is simple. It is just a linearly increasing number, right?

No. We humans have additional demands.

1. We want a part of the number to be the same for the time of day.

2. We want a part of the number to be the same for the day of year.

This is fundamentally impossible, because:

1. The year does not have an integer number of days, so we use lap years.

2. The day is the duration of a complete turn of Earth around itself, but the duration is slowly changing, this means the duration of the day won't stay the same, so we use lap seconds.

3. Year and day lose their meaning if we leave the Earth.

4. The time of the day is different for different parts of the Earth (solved by timezones).

We should use an epoch-based time for points in time, i. e. just a number, and convert it to the date-time whenever neccessary. The exact form of the date-time is not important, only that we already understand it.

Switching to decimal time does not help: it does not solve the fundamental problem, however we would need to relearn the time of day. It is similar to switching to Dvorak.
I'm a liberal Israeli. The border used to be mostly open. With the Oslo accord the Hamas started bombing civilians (busses, coffee shops etc.).

The wall is a problem but it stopped this. Hamas did its best to destroy the peace that was forming. It found a collaborator in our PM (Netanyahu) who essentially supported them and elevated them so they will fight with the PLO.

The idea was that it would prevent the formation of a Palestinian state. That was always a stupid idea... Notice that this was never "official" policy, this is my interpretation based on his actions.

Right now the specific blockade is fulled by three things:

* Rage - this is something I feel personally as everyone lost someone they know there. It's a small country... When children are murdered it tends to bring out blind rage and indifference towards the other side.

* Fear - Israel survived in a very hostile environment thanks to its ability to instill fear in its enemies. This showed a weak underbelly and Israelis are rightly concerned that anything less than complete destruction of the enemy will trigger an all out war.

* Hostages - There are civilians and children held hostage. The minister responsible for infrastructure specifically said that electricity and water won't be restored until the hostages are returned.

I personally think the bombings are absolutely horrible. I know quite a few Palestinians and my heart goes out to them. There's a mob mentality on both sides and we both lack in leadership. It took 5 days for the MODERATE head of the PLO to issue a very weak condemnation of the attack. On our side Netanyahu is as corrupt as they come. A demagogue of the worst kind. He promised to "flatten Gaza" which is stupid. I don't want that.

The Hamas has been a cancer on the Palestinian people. It murdered more Palestinians than Israel ever did. They believe in holy war and that Palestinian dead will be rewarded in the afterlife. The death of a Palestinian child is just PR for these guys. They are as terrible as they come. Unfortunately, this cancer masticated through the population. I have no easy answered but one thing I think pretty much every Israeli agrees on, they MUST be destroyed completely. Not the Palestinian people, the Hamas. My main concern is the leadership vacuum. The PLO isn't great either and won't want to collaborate with Israel after everything it did... Going back to something resembling the Oslo accord will be hard on all fronts.

On my desktops I've got more screen width than any of my open windows know what to do with, and they still want to skimp on scroll bar width. I can understand with mobile, but mobile design decisions are crowding out desktop usability. It's lazy and cheap but the market is monopolised enough that the approaching horizon can only look "no worse" at best.

They're also operating in a country where life long employment is the norm, people work very hard to get a job at Toyota, it's seen as quite an honor to work there. They're facing a crisis here. In my opinion they either adapt and win, or the majority of staff will lose their job anyway.

They can't fire tens of thousands of factory workers so they're doing absolutely everything they can to keep those production lines going in some way or another.

I personally don't understand why they can't retrain those staff and build other things such as an EV charging station factory. But yeah, I guess they have little imagination or drive to actually solve the problem and instead play with stupid moonshot ideas like this.

The only thing they have left is a great reputation for building ICE cars. Not sure how long that will last though if this madness continues.
> Anyone willing to create content at extremely low cost has flourished under the YouTube paradigm.

That idea won't stand up to close scrutiny. Especially the 'Anyone' part. YouTube undoubtedly enriches itself on their efforts. If most 'Anyone's have 'fluorished' at all it's because of their viewers; most of the 'channel' owners that I've watched regularly for years rely on Patreon for support.

I very much doubt that refusing ad-blockers will change any of that.

Running Ubuntu 22.04.1 on a very recent device is not something I would recommend.

And it is particularly bad timing. 23.10 was released yesterday, so a new kernel should roll into 22.04 soon. It would also fix most of the software complaints if the auther would have used 23.10.

Please save yourself from the hassle of compiling a kernel, especially for Ubuntu (the userspace _expects_ Ubuntu patches, e.g. for apparmor). Pick a distro with a recent release, and for Ubuntu in particular check if you can live with 2 upgrades a year until you reach the next LTS (April of even years, so right now the _next_ upgrade. Worst case is 3 upgrades).
The manufacturer isn't responsible when a product is misused.

I could buy a 2x4 and smack someone over the head with it. Then they get to sue home depot? No, I should be charged for smacking them over the head.

If the manufacturer becomes responsible for the actions of individuals the economy would immediately cease due to the litigation that would unfold.
Holographic images still blow my mind. There's something amazing about a 3D scene, complete with parallax and depth of field, being encoded on a 2D plane. Just shine some light onto it and that extra dimension appears. If you cut out a segment of that hologram, somehow it still contains all the 3D scene's information, and by tilting the angle you can see otherwise hidden details, just through a smaller viewport. Incredible!

But now we’re just going down a path where it’s not a binary broken/not broken but “how broken is it?”

If I change the oil in my car but forget to put the plug back in and then start it and drive off and seize my engine, it’s basically broken. With enough effort, it could be rebuilt. Is it the responsibility of the manufacturer to expend the necessary effort to do so, though?
It blows my mind that third party applications are better at search than the freaking OS.
What's also kind of stupid is, if they entered the EV market, people would just buy them on their reputation alone. This hope is fading now as the competition takes over, but they absolutely no doubt would be able to build a reliable EV and once that reliable EV was for sale world wide, it would be a huge success just because people love Toyota.

I personally think they could've dominated the market on reputation alone.
The question isn’t: “what are the numerous ways someone can break someone else’s laptop if they physically have possession of it?”

The question is: “how are people apologising for the fact that Apple are refusing to support individuals who are locked out of their own devices?”

The question you are answering is an irrelevant hypothetical whereas question being asked is a very legitimate consumer request.

It’s like dismissing a mugging by saying “it’s ok because they didn’t stab you”. Both are legitimately wrong but only one of those scenarios is being discussed.

Yeah, I'm a lifelong user of apple products and I had no idea until your article that "Find My" was an activation lock. I thought it just reported your location to Apple, and so I turned it off for privacy reasons...

The Quadras and LC on my campus back in the day were a very special breed, as the IT department even had a couple of NeXT cubes.

What sort of damage? I’m quite a long way through restoring two of these into one and the only problem I have is the plastic between the keyboard and screen is cracked and I’m likely going to have to find a third machine.

The machine itself works fine since I replaced the CMOS battery and cleaned off corrosion, but the bodywork is a total pain to deal with.

I don't think you underestand the problem. /s

The 4x3 aspect monitors were bigger. The 16x9 added only horizontal space.

We still need the same "real" size of items in the real world. And there is a trend to occupy the space with useless staff: ribbon, big G logo, status messages not about what you do but about bugs and internal program stucture.

You need to rerun eval after each LLM update. GPTs have a new version every couple of months and their capabilities can change quite drastically pretty much randomly.

Not everybody stands in-ear headphones for long periods of time (the other ones are much easier to handle for me). Maybe this was an issue only with Airpods 1 but still, earbud types or over-ear are more comfortable
It is a lie that Israel was founded on an ethnic cleansing hiding the fact that the Arab league wanted to wipe out all Jewish settlements. Just like it happened in other Arab countries at that time and just how they want to do it today.

War erupted which Israel won and hence their claim to the land. They did not ethnically cleanse anyone, in many cases they even bought the land, which I have never seen in a similar conflict. Usually it is just taken.

You can try it for a day and then request your data from them. If there is a keylogger, search for a specific term you write when you play it.

Maybe you are talking about different things? The normal AirPod has a fixed shape - it either fits your ear canal or it doesn’t. You definitely should try it out before buying it.

The AirPods Pro has changeable sizes, so it really shouldn’t fall off anyone’s ear.
I'm glad they're doing the right thing and postponing release. If you really want it I assume you can download an RC or something.
Not true. Jews purchased many of the lands during British and Ottoman rule. When Israel was formed the Palestinians were given the majority of the territories. They attacked to get the rest and were defeated in a very bloody war.

As a result many fled. Many stayed and are a part of Israel to this day, they vote and have representatives in parliament, supreme court etc.

The Gaza strip and occupied territories were held by Egypt and Jordan. They were occupied in the 6 day war (1967) but Israel never annexed them. Some of the residence there are indeed refugees who prior to the formation of Israel, lived in a different region.

It's also not true that it's not about religion. This is 100% about religion. Jewish settlers are entirely motivated by religion. Hamas is an extremist religious group who believes in holy war and murder of its own people. While Israel is technically a secular country, the religious forces are strong and force us into situations like this.

Here is a better example: try to take the radio out of any modern car and stick it back in yourself. When power is lost it will require an activation code from the dealership. This is an anti-theft feature that consumers pay for when they buy the car.

If you fail to register your purchase (harder to do with a car, but stick with me) and go to the dealership, you won't get the activation code. This is literally what happened to OP.

I highly recommend getting into classical literature. It is incredible and beyond conception — I had a light scattering in my education, but only later and recently have I discovered how incredible it can be.

Suggested Reading for beginners:

* Life of Pythagoras, by Iamblichus

* The Golden Ass, by Apuleius of Numenia (specifically, translation by Robert Graves)

* Life of Alexander by Plutarch

* Education of Cyrus by Xenophon

* Parmenides by Plato

Also, I have found SHWEP.net to be invaluable for a gentle yet rigorous guide through many classics, though it takes an esoteric bent (which I love)
"Uber/Airbnb is expensive now" is an entirely american phenomena. In Europe and Latin America, both are still cheaper than alternative (comparable hotels and yellow cabs). Most likely in other parts of the world too.

For basic usage, you can get away with a small graphics card or no graphics card at all (albeit it will be very slow).

The general rule of thumb is, take a model size (7B, 13B, 34B, 70B) and multiply that by 0.5 or 0.625. If that number is smaller than the combined amount of system RAM and VRAM in your system, you can run the model at 4-bit and 5-bit quantization respectively.
