Oh, yes, you're right, it's more like anecdotal experience. I didn't specify that, but I actually meant the time period when I don't expect them to break, which is about a year after the purchase. The device is still under warranty so I'm saying that some brands make it easy to replace it, some do the opposite.
How are you determining "equivalent"? I don't agree with your conclusion at all.

My M2 MBA is 2.7lbs. The 14" MBP starts at 3.4lbs. That is a very noticeable 26% increase.

0.44 inches thick versus 0.61 inches thick is also noticeable.

I have a 14" MBP for work, so I have plenty of first hand experience with both devices.

The screen sizes of the relevant laptops are as follows:

MBA (13in): 13.6 inches
MBP (14in): 14.2 inches (+0.6in vs 13in MBA)
MBA (15in): 15.3 inches (+1.1in vs 14in MBP)

The 13-inch and 14-inch are significantly closer in size than the 14-inch and 15-inch.

To add an additional spec for clarity, by my math the relative screen areas are as follows:

MBA (13in): 84.36 square inches
MBP (14in): 91.63 square inches (+8.6% vs 13in MBA)
MBA (15in): 106.24 square inches (+16% vs 14in MBP)

Why would the "equivalent" be the 15-inch MBA? Even though I obviously believe the 13-inch MBA is a closer match (as the specs above clearly show), the 15-inch MBA does still manage to be thinner and (barely) lighter than the 14-inch MBP, even while offering a significantly larger screen, which is impressive to be sure.
At least this one isn't running for president?

I was consistantly able to get it to be at or near 50% for long periods simply by typing English sentences in morse code, "f" for dot and "g" for dash
I've had a similarly frustrating time trying to understand and wrangle the pyproject.toml builder system, (egg-layer? wheel-roller? cheese-monger?)

One thing the author might want to try is writing their own "build-backend". You can specify your own script (even use setup.py) and that will be the target of python -m build or pip wheel or presumably whatever build-frontend you use.

# pyproject.toml
[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools"]
build-backend = "setup" # import setup.py as the build-module
backend-path = ["."]

Then in setup.py you should write two functions:

def build_sdist(sdist_directory, config_settings):
...

def build_wheel(wheel_directory, config_settings, metadata_directory):
...

Where config_settings is a dictionary of the command line "--config-settings" options passed to the builder. (sys.argv does not have access to the actual invocation, I suppose to ensure frontend standardization)

example:

$ python -m build --config-setting=foo=bar --config-setting=can-spam

# will call
>>> build_sdist("the/dist/dir", {"foo": "bar", "can": "spam"})

Of course, you can extend the default setuptools build meta so you only have to
do the pre-compilation or whatever your custom build step requires:

from setuptools.build_meta import build_sdist as setuptools_build_sdist

def build_sdist(sdist_directory, config_settings):
# ... code-gen and copy files to source ...

# this will call setup.py::setup, to make things extra confusing
return setuptools_build_sdist(sdist_directory, config_settings)

I had to create a temporary MANIFEST.in file to make sure that the setuptools
build_sdist saw the generated files. Maybe there's a better way?
I think the wheel "just" packages whatever the sdist produces, though that might be more difficult if you're compiling .so files or whatnot.

Still overall pretty fiddly/under-documented and a shame there seems to be a push for more dependencies rather than encouraging users to build their own solutions.

I would rather let people who are experienced in low-cost manufacturing of cars, batteries, rocket engines, etc make decisions about what features they think would add complexity to themselves, rather than me deciding from the outside what I would like to force them to do, as a prerequisite to improving the number one cause of death for large age ranges of Americans.

Would you delay solving this problem in favor of improving the annoying way people drive on the left in California? I hate it too but if we can get FSD soon, it'd save a lot of people's lives.

> Your first paragraph is because cars depreciate. Cars are thus the opposite of an investment, barring a few collector models which never got driven much.

Right, and in countries with sane planning laws the same is true of houses.

> If you pay that house off and die, it's in your will and it's yours to pass on to whoever you want. We should absolutely be incentivizing that kind of responsible behavior

Locking up as much prime real estate as possible for your family forever isn't being "responsible", it's a "fuck you, got mine" move. In places where housing is limited it should go to those who need it most, not to those who were lucky enough to have parents who were rich, or happened to buy in the right place at the right time.
Reverse Engineering and Cloning the Costco Digital Membership Card
Yeah, I was stronger and felt better in my mid to late 30s than I'd ever felt at a younger age, and would sometimes go out clubbing and then hit the gym on no sleep and still push out personal bests...

Even my 18 year old self would have killed to feel like that.

But at 30 I couldn't walk a flight of stairs without pain, went to my doctor and was handed an exercise sheet for retirees and told off, and that was what finally got me to address my health, so there's still time to fix it for anyone who feels like that and still time to reach heights of strength and energy you didn't know we're possible.

I lapsed for multiple years in my early 40s, but even with that, after being back in the gym for just a few months I'm still for the most part, apart from a bit slower recovery, feeling better today at 48 than I did at 30, and I'm far stronger and with better endurance (though I still feel weak because I know how much I have lifted, and while Im easily at 5x+ the strength I had at 30, I am so far only back up to 60% of my peak)

Rate limit it by ip address (and/or combination of other request/header data), and be transparent about the limits. Have a blurb asking users not to abuse it by keeping requests to a minimum. Captcha every nth request. I could go on.

Why do you want to limit free uses? Is it because it costs you money, or because you think there's a product worth paying for here?
I am hoping that "Android for RISC-V" is more successful than "Android for x86" which was a completely unmitigated disaster (yes I still have a Lenovo x86 Android tablet :-)) Reading this though doesn't really give me a lot of confidence though. High hopes, low expectations.

+1 for this article, I've seen the same a lot.

Having played and run D&D for 30+ years, I've found the biggest power fantasy for players is never throwing a fireball or killing a dragon.

Usually, it's just being powerful enough to save someone. To make the world better because you were there. Having a conversation that's not possible real life, and (with a good DM) getting some version of resolution.

On a lighter note, seriously, it's nice to have a conversation about life that isn't about _your_ life. Your life might suck right now, no one's fault, but it's to the point where casually talking about your life is uncomfortable for everyone. But Grogdor's life, where he just got a talking sword? Suddenly you can have small talk and social connection again without friction.
>I get it that the SEC wants to change this culture and have a designated person meaningfully responsible for infosec risk, but it feels that it's a case of stick before the carrot.

They have that already, it’s the CEO - he is supposed to have ultimate responsibility which is why he (or she) gets obscene compensation. They should be incentivized to hire the best CISO he can find because he’s facing jail time if he doesn’t.

Instead he has 0 responsibility because literally everything is an underlings fault.

There's a lot more to optimizing comouting than just the size and number of transistors. Such as branch prediction and many other aspects.

Also, gaming and ML training rely on massive parallelism. So that's another paradigm.

More new paradigms like memory-centric and/or analog computing for AI will be commercialized in the next several years.
He has 49 million followers. If he isn't the world's most popular painter, he is extremely close.
The solution to that is balanced LSH, which ensures each hyperplane divides the data evenly by moving its offset, if I recall.
Maybe something like this: save prior responses and let anyone see those, only requiring an account to ask for new ones.

> We've conflated what we've come to expect from corporations to the standards we must hold them to. The standard that a corporation should live up to is indeed much higher and significantly more nuanced than "technically not breaking the law."

We shouldn't try to hold a standard that we can't or won't enforce. If we want better behaviour from corporations we need to actually make them behave better, not wring our hands when they don't do it by themselves.

> Even if some corporations amass unthinkable amounts of influence and power and fundamentally escape the pressures of social responsibility through this, I still think that it's necessary to fight the learned-helplessness mindset. If absolutely nothing else, I think everyone is at least responsible for ensuring the bar doesn't drop so low as to allow this kind of thought process to remain "normal". It should always be thought of as abnormal, and as the threat to liberty and democracy that it clearly can be.

If you think it shouldn't be normal, figure out how to make it illegal. But raging against greedy landlords/corporations/what-have-you is just its own form of learned helplessness.

The person you replied to wants the nicer form factor of the MBA with the ability to use multiple external displays.

That combo isn't currently offered, and judging from today's M3 specs the next MBA won't likely offer it either.

I assume the iMac has the same limitation, which is a bit of a downer for some uses. It would be nice to drive a second monitor and a wall-mounted TV or projector from an iMac in sleek a home setup.

Fact is that if XBox doesn't take steps then their platform becomes less valuable meaning less people want to play there.

"it's only about money" is a short sighted and overly simplistic answer just like "M$ is a cartel".

As far as the browser is concerned, it is not doing anything to "reveal" your identity. It won't send pre-existing cookies, won't indicate you are using Incognito Mode, and won't persist site storage outside Incognito Mode. Are you saying Incognito Mode should also send your traffic through a VPN?

As a teenager/early 20's in the late 80's and early 90's I worked at a K-Mart style discount store. We employed up to four plainclothes "loss prevention" associates who absolutely could and did detain people for shoplifting. We even had a code for it: "Code 100!". Hear that on the loudspeaker and you know there's a shoplifter either on the run or nearly so, and if you're able to give pursuit or just look tough, get to the front NOW. I chased shoplifters twice. One was tackled by a bystander in the parking lot, and while the other got away, I gave the cop a description and they picked him up at the McDonalds down the street. Sensibilities/budgets may be different today, but back then it was a rush for a young guy.

I was also once in the position of acting as witness in the loss prevention office when one of my classmates was caught (no chase) stealing fishing gear. Awkward.
From the Github description, a quote: "In a class I taught at Berkeley, I did an experiment where I wrote a simple little program that would let people type either “f” or “d” and would predict which key they were going to push next. It’s actually very easy to write a program that will make the right prediction about 70% of the time. Most people don’t really know how to type randomly. They’ll have too many alternations and so on. There will be all sorts of patterns, so you just have to build some sort of probabilistic model. Even a very crude one will do well. I couldn’t even beat my own program, knowing exactly how it worked. I challenged people to try this and the program was getting between 70% and 80% prediction rates. Then, we found one student that the program predicted exactly 50% of the time. We asked him what his secret was and he responded that he “just used his free will.”"

I can get it to about 60%. Given the algorithm used, it seems like it should be trivial to "trick" it by just cycling through novel 5-grams over and over, but to be honest I can't be bothered to check. And that would be rather contrary to the point of the exercise, if somewhat undercutting of the premise that free will is equivalent or comparable to randomness.
Fast food workers are lazy? Is that the truth here?
I used my free will. I chose to not do it.

Pretty cool but that isn't enjoyable. Those are minimum graphics settings with heavy upscaling and it still barely manages 40FPS with extreme lag spikes in combat (and slowdowns?).

Also having played the game, I can tell you the scenes chosen there (pretty much all of Act 1) are some of the best optimized/least demanding areas. Especially the DLC is going to be unplayable with that performance.

Certainly looks like with just a bit more hardware power and development it could be getting somewhere though.

Maybe I have free will?... was consistently hovering just under 50%
Granted, I only tested this for a few minutes, but I found that if I thought about "repeat" vs "switch" instead of "d" vs "f", then I could reliably get under 50% prediction. Sure, the prediction rate was high 40's, but that at least means I won!

A lot of it comes down to avoiding auto-piloting into a 50/50 distribution. Subconsciously, "random" means approaches 50/50 since that's how it works, right? I'm sure given enough time, it'll be able to predict me with >50% accuracy, but that's entirely okay. Random doesn't have to be fairly distributed. As long as it doesn't get to 100% then I still have personhood :^)
AMD's APUs or the Windows Display Driver Model did not support USM until very recently. They would explicitly carve out memory at boot for graphics use and physical pages could not be shared between GPU and CPU. They'd still make use of apertures to copy data in/out of respective memory ranges.

Efficiently is a bit of a stretch. I worked at a company making consumer electronics that got bought by PE. They promptly drained all accounts and just ran the company on minimum possible funding such that they never got to make any capital investment or perform any R&D.

To be fair, I think the vast majority of this is about online. Keeping a clean and hack free experience isn't just about selling proprietary controllers - it's also bout blocking cheating and keeping things sane.

(and single player games have Trophies which is online so... depending on how much you value pixelated trophies? those would be affected by "cheating in single player")

Remember... this is Microsoft. The same company that had YEARS of bad press because bad third party drivers was one of the largest causes of windows crashes.

So even if you never play online (I don't either) and only play single player games (FF and similar games here)? There's nothing worse than a shitty controller to ruin an experience.

It's possible some otherwise perfect controllers might lose their spot if they get "banned" because they aren't "upgraded" with "security chips" (or whatever) and you might be affected but in aggregate its something a company the size of MS has to take into account.

We'll see how it plays out but I'm not surprised (after reading comments about cheating stuff used by others in stuff like controllers).
If you etch away anyone's social norms you will get the same person, because everybody is the same. This might not be exactly true because of personality differences, but it is exactly true when the population is big enough for all personalities to be represented.
I wouldn't call those "smart people". They're not much beyond mediocre, but see overcomplicating things (which in many cases they will dogmatically explain away as being a "best practice") as a way to make it appear like they're smart.

The smartest are those who can make complex problems look simple, with simple solutions.
The demographics of the world mean that social security and government pensions are no longer going to work very well. They will need to be cut, and can certainly not be raised even higher. In your lifetime, most countries will have 1 worker per retiree. Some, like South Korea, will have two retirees per worker. Good luck paying all your normal taxes as well as increased levels of medicare and social security all on one income.

Investment will continue to be the cornerstorne or retirement, the math for redistribution just doesn't work. Especially if you increase the distributions.
