Correct, it’s not.
Nuclear non-proliferation has been a remarkably common policy across most of the world. MAD itself is already insane, but even more so is encouraging more countries to develop nuclear weapons themselves.

Taiwan was pressured to give up their nuclear program for the simple reason that none of the big boys want nukes that they can't control. And nothing would force China to take the risk of invading Taiwan faster than the latter starting a nuclear weapons program.
I don't usually answer it.... usually, my voicemail answers it. I wonder if that qualifies as an answer as well.
You would only ever do all that if you had no clue what you are doing (and most don't). It's rather trivial to bypass modern kernel anticheats, especially with a hacked up KVM or custom hypervisor. So much of anti-cheat nowadays is based off of automated (delayed) detection and user reports that you can easily ragehack to the the top ranks without ban if you just use silentaim (aimbot that doesn't need to change your view angles) and common sense.

In fact, I'd go so far as to say that a majority of players in the top ranks of most popular FPSs are cheaters or queue with cheaters. There's nothing quite like watching the enemy stare right at you through every wall across the map and then carelessly run in a straight line towards you. Even more concerning is how many streamers queue up with blatant cheaters and then use their connections with game moderators to manually ban other cheaters.
That seems completely reasonable. The only interesting case is "There was far too little storage, so we gave up early" e.g. you need 14GB, there is 186MB available, give up. I probably don't want my photo viewer to crash because I tried to open a JPEG that wouldn't fit in RAM, better it just says that's too big and I can pick a different file.

Whenever people are imagining they're going to recover despite OOM in low level components they are tripping. Their recovery strategy is going to blow up too, and then they're going to be in a huge mess - just abort when this happens.
It's still very silly that the model refuses to do that.
This was one of the interesting side effects of a small retinal hemorrhage. I had a fixed black spot (well, it actually looked a little like a thread) and the fact that it didn't move in my visual field made me realize just how many saccades you do.
A decade ago we still called it GPGPU and it was a somewhat niche stuff used for specialized applications. There wasn't enough interest in the field to warrant that heavy investment. Fast-forward ten years, and we're in rapid inflation phase (the cosmological kind, not the financial kind) - whatever choices were there at the start got baked in, and are sinks for all the free money that's coming in and demanding fast results. AMD could've solved this 10 years ago if they invested in it, but they didn't have future knowledge about ML on GPUs being the next big thing.
I'm not sure those people are the intended Macbook audience, though. How many of those people wouldn't be roughly as productive using an iPad or something? I've found myself doing almost all my non-development, non-media stuff on an iPad Air as of late and the environmental constraints have been really helpful for focus.

(My iPad Air was $599 new, and I use a shockingly pleasant $30 case-and-keyboard combination for typing--no, it's not a mechanical keyboard, but c'mon.)
Can you explain more about this please. What are contextual bandits?
Not everything. MacBooks have MagSafe for power, which frees a port for power or having to use an adapter with power passthrough.

Though it’s not a big issue in practice. When at home or the office, I just plug into a display with a USB or Thunderbolt hub. On-the-go, the Apple adapter works great.

Having to plug more than one cable is annoying anyway when you move between desks.

Isn't that what dividends are for though? Stock buybacks distort the valuation detached from what the market is pricing the company, it still does not make sense in my mind.
I think you have a somewhat generalizing idea of small towns

In a town w/ a pop. of 6,500 I have:

- 1 gig internet (+ starlink, but I only use when traveling now)

- 2 dentist offices

- 4 local coffee shops + 1 starbucks

- 2 grocery stores + 1 walmart supercenter

- 3 gyms (but one is a curves so essentially 2) but none are crowded ever.

As far as international airports, I can either drive to the nearest city, about 45mins - 1hr but I have flown to a big airport from the town's airfield in a small aircraft.

You can find many small towns with many amenities and most of the times you have at least 2 options.

There's no denying there's more variety in the city, but often it's really not the drastic limitations you're imagining.

I will say, with what we do have there's no crowding, everything is very friendly, there's a lot of local options and people will go out of their way to help you.

But God forbid you live in the town 15 minutes from me, it barely has cell service.

You really can't lump small towns together, there's such a wide range.

The "other direction" was abandoned because it doesn't work well. Grammar isn't how language works, it's just useful fiction. There's plenty of language modelling in the weights of the trained model and that's much more robust than anything humans could cook up.
That's different from being "overpriced."

Overpriced would be "costs more than it should for what it is," not "costs what it should but is more product than I can afford."
Right, but (at least in normal aircraft) an engine-out situation doesn't (usually) immediately mean "pull the chute right now or we'll die". Instead the chute a last resort where the the alternative is unpleasant enough that you're willing to trade your aircraft to avoid it (e.g. you're staring down a situation where the aircraft will be destroyed anyway--think going down in trees, mountain cliffs, buildings, water, ...).

In other words, in a normal aircraft you still have options when you lose power.

I'm new to Go within the past year or so. Every time I start thinking about some fancy sugar I got from another language, I've basically realized that I didn't need it. The ease of "build" and "run" is amazing to me, and when I find I need to do something fancy in my code, I generally find that I don't actually need that.
I would like to know the details of how they move big 300 mm wafers in and out of vacuum 160 times per minute and avoid vibrations, The vibration that moves the wafer or any mirrors just a few atom diameters would screw up the result. They have magnets that levitate many parts but it's still amazing.
That quote is part of section 2, I believe. That section states "You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program...", so if my program uses a GPL'd program via pipe/exec I am not modifying the GPL's program at all, just using it, and so my interpretation is that section 2 (and in fact the whole GPL license), and therefore your quote, does not apply at all.

An example of what I have in mind: Let's say that you write a program and for some functionality it needs to grep files. Now, instead of programming this from scratch you just exec/pipe grep and grab its output. That's does not make your program GPL'd although grep is.

Packaging grep with your program to make distribution easier (if needed) does not, either.
So, if I looked at a function, understood it, then reproduced the function from my grasp (not necessarily verbatim, but by understanding the logical flow), would that be subject to the GPL? What if it varied? How much does it need to vary not to be considered derivative?

If there is a threshold, then it is possible to rewrite the original code in ways that do not resemble the original code verbatim, but are effectively the same.
Maybe, but I know plenty of non-tech people that just buy the baseline MacBook Air and are happy with it.
I would split the difference and say a bunch of companies are /trying/ to replace workers with LLMs but are finding out, usually with hilarious results, that they are not reliable enough to be left on their own.

However, there are some boosts that can be made to augment the performance of other workers if they are used carefully and with attention to detail.
I'm saying that approximately everyone cares about performance of this, or other functions of the OS. I'm using 7zip, even though I would prefer not to, but this is me solving the problem for myself. Most users are not capable or not in a position for this kind of self-help, so they're just silently suffering through.
> an opensource alternative to AWS

Just putting out there that OpenStack is open source, already exists, very feature complete, and there are even hosting providers that will give you your own OpenStack control plane and only bill you for the resources you use. Only one provider in the US, but several in Europe.

No need to deploy and manage your own clusters on bare metal. They do it all for you and just give you an API, same as AWS. Way better than managing your own stack. The fact that more providers aren't doing this kind of blows my mind. But they probably prefer the proprietary walled garden, easier to keep customers from moving.
> But, emulating a current console is not about preservation. It just isn't.

No, but it CAN be used as a tool to play legitimate copies of games on different hardware. A few people on this thread have said they do this. I haven't done it yet, but I'll probably dump the Switch games I want to play on my Deck instead of carrying the switch also.
Very easy solution until you realize you need solar panels facing the sun[1], radiators facing deep space[2], antennas facing earth, payloads facing x, y, and z, deployable payloads facing x, y, and z plus the lunar surface. And all of those things are fragile, at least in terms of mounting them on the outside of a bowling ball rolling across sharp gravel/sand. And of course multiply difficulty by the number of all configurations^2 for both design and testing. [1] and [2] are especially huge drivers, you need power and therefore heat input, but you also need radiators to expel heat. Depending on complexity, solar panels in shade act as passive radiators leaking heat at best, and at worst as heaters, actively taking battery power to heat up and become even better radiators. And radiators act, to some extent, less effectively or even as heaters if they are facing the sun, sunlit earth, or sunlit lunar surface instead of deep space.

It's not only a matter of adding complexity, mass, money, etc. This kind of solution is simple on its face, but it is akin to being ignorant of why a car has windows (for the driver to see), doors (for the passengers to enter/exit) or a cooling system (to not overheat), and then reading that Jeeps (or to be more fair, a new Jeep prototype) are prone to tipping over on a trail after driving 1000km on a highway to a trailhead, and then commenting on how Chrysler should just make a dodecahedron Jeep with 20 wheels instead of 4.

These spacecraft also made it past 99% of the hurdles, the next try will probably make it and overcome the final 1% without starting from scratch and adding all kinds of complexity that are far more likely to add failure.

> I disagree, and I always upgrade the RAM even though I don’t like paying more. Why? Because it puts pressure on developers to keep the bloat under control.

Shouldn't you be doing the opposite then? Keeping the baseline amount so you can know what it's like for people without a large budget and stop patronizing the applications without acceptable footprints in that circumstance?

> In that world you’d have all the software growing in memory use without bound.

We already live in that world. In the 90s you could run Netscape Navigator on a machine with 8 megabytes of memory. I've seen individual browser tabs use more gigabytes than that.

And not all of this is Electron bloat. The Stable Diffusion XL model is ~13GB. In general the quality is going to be proportional to the model size. So for the thing to get better, people need machines with more memory. And 8GB is already too small.
I've been in that situation but luckily even having spent only 50 hours on the project we had something written down on day one, basically a '50:50' agreement, signed on paper. Get something written from your future(?) cofounder, especially if he's given up. A couple of years in the future you might have success and he can come back and claim part of it. Like in the movie 'the social network'. Justified or not that would cause trouble and costs regardless the outcome.

Can you purchase his share for a small sum? $100 USD is worth it as long as the other party agrees and gives something in return. And such an offer certainly gets the discussion about ownership and time-spending started.
This is game changing. When will H265 get a DL upgrade?

And the crazy thing is, despite Dell having 170+ laptop SKUs they don't use that fact to actually have a wide range of products.

You'd think with 170 different SKUs they could produce an ultrabook with ports, wouldn't you? A modernised version of the E7270? Apparently not, though.
Yeah Mixtral is between GPT3.5 and GPT4 in perf. Better than 3.5, but trailing behind 4.

> One weakness of Mixtral for me is its support for Norwegian.

I recently added grammar correction and summarization feature to my app (which uses different system prompts based on the language). And one of the Norwegian speaking users on discord told me the same thing. He also told me that
the smaller Nous-Hermes-2-SOLAR-10.7B seems to do be better at Norwegian than Mixtral does. Perhaps you should try that model.
Only the M2 & M3 Max chips support more than two external monitors[1]. Those start at $3200, and are overkill for the vast majority of use-cases.

There's no excuse for a $2000+ machine to not support more than two external monitors. DisplayLink on MacOS is far from ideal, either: it works alright, but it has to use the screen recording functionality in the OS, which causes anything with protected content to freak out.

> Self-referential structs work fine in Rust and always have.

They 'work fine' in that the Rust compiler will let you create one and then never let you move it or access the whole object mutably again while it is self-referential. They don't 'work fine' as in being first-class objects in the language that work as any other object.

For what it's worth, I think Rust made the right choice in not allowing custom move constructors that would enable first-class self-referential types.

Obviously a planned obsolescence tactic. If the base models were 16GB there's a fine chance Apple wouldn't see another dollar from those customers for another 10+ years at minimum. The average customer doesn't understand their memory requirements and cannot be expected to predict how they may change in the future. It's the only thing they got left they can use to trick customers into buying a machine that will need to be replaced sooner.
Safe to say he's "former" now.
To me it's not solely about modification. It's also about transparency. While I most likely would shy away from trying to modify the software of a medical device, I think it should be illegal to lock down those devices so that people can't at least see the code that's running it.

If you're going to build something that's going to directly affect my health, I would much appreciate it if it were easy for researchers to find bugs and security issues with the software that controls it.

But ultimately I don't care about the whole "legally locked down" thing, and think that concept is a net negative for society. If I can buy a medical device to use at home, then it should be on me if I decide to modify it and it injures or kills me. I expect the law hasn't really kept up with that notion; I wouldn't be surprised that in many cases the manufacturer might still be liable. But that's a legal problem (that should be fixed!), not an ideological one.

> ... or a payment terminal the user is explicitly not trusted to modify

This is the worst thing, IMO. I wholeheartedly reject the concept of software that I am given to use, but am not "trusted" to modify. Screw that. Unfortunately I do have to use software like that. But I think the entire concept is garbage.
But can we get around the GPL by transforming a function, in trivial ways, to produce an equivalent function to avoid having it fall under "derived work"?

Its the exact opposite.

They are the first to do a lot of things, and in terms of product design they do a good job, which establishes them solely in the market space even though first iterations of products are generally subpar overall and riding on one feature that makes it stand out. Then when competition catches up, they already have an established user base that is "locked in" to Apple products through their walled garden.

The reason why they don't have any AI stuff is because AI is purely software, and Apple doesn't do software that well because any software it releases had to be wrapped by that walled garden to secure the user base.
> Why shouldn't I be able to run software that works on my M2 MBP?

Well, there's the technical reason which is that the userland of MacOS and iPadOS aren't the same.

But there's also the ideological reason which is that the iPad is strictly sold as a device for consumption, not creation. They don't want you to run any code on it that they haven't authorized.

> HN used to say that System76 were the best laptops ever

Are you sure about this...? Every System76 convo I've ever seen on here has plenty of people chiming in to note that they're simply junk Clevo shells. It's a known issue with them.

Ideologically I love System76 (and I would buy one of their desktops, if I was still a desktop man). I would never buy one of their current laptops.
My own take: a document database, which devs seem to love, combined with relations aka edges,is basically a property graph and that's what basically you need. Directionality is a property on the edge.
To me, frankly, that would be the goal. For some of the things I work on, I would much rather a company be allergic to it, than believe they can do whatever they want with it.

But for other things, I don't really care.
