Google cloud has had regions in India, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia for years but they shouldn't offer cloud services in Israel for some reason? Seems a bit silly!

This person should have quit their job years ago if they had a real issue with the ethics of cloud computing.
I got P14s with 64GB of RAM, 1TB SSD and other specs maxed out for $1050 (patiently waited for a sale from Lenovo). Other than the battery life, the P14s is roughly equivalent to a Macbook Pro M2 Pro for $3500.

Windows sucks in the default install, but if you know what you're doing you can remove all the junk from it and make Windows almost as efficient as, say, Linux (and way more efficient than macOS).

In my opinion, Macbooks are for people who'd rather pay more than take care of and optimize their laptops. I could have paid 3 times as much for a similarly spec'ed Macbook, but then I'd have to put up with a silly notch, not having a right Ctrl key, a keyboard getting shiny after a couple of months and other annoyances. So why even bother with Macbooks?
The level of easy facilitated in part by ts on synchronous is too damn high, for one.
> Lessons Learned: Build a Very Fundable Startup

> Every founder should learn from this disastrous scenario the importance of building a very healthy, fundable startup. A healthy, vibrant startup draws more investors during fundraising. The competition gives founders the leverage to negotiate for more founder-friendly terms. Healthy startups get better valuations, better terms, and raise funds with much less effort.

Hmm. The lesson I learn from that is to bootstrap/self-fund, rather than get investment in the first place.
I feel called to mustard jihad against ketchup
also, there isn’t even a barrel let alone any sort of rifling? So how could we conceivably measure laptops in terms of barrel length if there’s no diameter or length?

I just don’t see the metaphor here /s
Why not use a state management library like xstate with jQuery ?
Hm, I don't buy this. The statistics shown in the blog post revealing the new Claude models (this submission) show a significant tendency to refuse to answer benign questions.

Just the fact that there's a x% risk it doesn't answer complicates any use case unnecessarily.

I'd prefer if the bots weren't antrophomized at all, no more "I'm your chatbot assistant". That's also just a marketing gimmick. It's much easier to assume something is intelligent if it has a personality.

Imagine if the models weren't even framed as AI at all. What if they were framed as 'flexi-search' a modern search engine that predicts content it hasn't yet indexed.
He’s referring to subsidence. The buoyant weight of soil is less than the dry weight, so it does compact when the groundwater is drawn down lower than ever before (as it has been for decades, getting lower and lower). It’s an irreversible process.

The California Aqueduct is currently dealing with problems relating to subsidence - what used to be a smooth downhill grade is now slumping in the middle. The capacity of the canal is reduced and without intervention it would eventually be unable to flow uphill.
Check out this recent episode of the Volts podcast with guest Jigar Shah, head the DOE's Programs Loan Office, where David Roberts and Jigar go into quite a bit of detail about the energy needs of data centers over the coming decades, and why nuclear is going to be a necessary component of any CO2-free energy solution.

That is the standard and anyone not in a firesale should expect that m

But the reason you raise is because you can turn each dollar into 1+ dollars of enterprise value.

If you raise and don't spend... You've accomplished nothing except throwing some money at lawyers.
