of note: MacBook Air actually has a decent GPU...
Clean-room reverse engineering is specifically not forbidden, and has been successfully done in the past to develop the Nouveau driver. Disassembling Nvidia's binaries is plausibly forbidden, but it would be very surprising if they could extend that ban on binaries produced by their compiler. However, the trademark could be used to attack statements about the emulation layer. I see parallels to Google vs. Oracle
Sure, but that's just saying that Microsoft as investor has some rights to the underlying tech. There are limits to this though, which we may fairly soon be nearing. I believe the agreement says that Microsoft's rights to the tech (model + weights? training data? -- not sure how specific it is) end once AGI is achieved, however that is evaluated.

But again, this is not to say that OpenAI is "Microsoft in a trenchcoat". Microsoft don't have developers at OpenAI, weren't behind the tech in any way, etc. Their $10B investment bought them some short-term insurance in limited rights to the tech. It is what is is.
Also lives on through its spiritual successors, the black ops and spy trades.
if that only mirrors, can you set the built in display on the laptop to 4k so the external mirror is the full 4k too?
Not really - in a rental market, you can't get 'more market share' due to pricing, once your units are rented out 100%. 'market share' in a highly inelastic market like housing is only achievable by long term capital intensive purchasing, building, or upgrading of units.

In this kind of business, in the short-medium term (aka when setting rents), they're usually looking to reduce vacancy rates (aka achieve the highest utilization of their assets), so they'd set their rents to be relative to the market (same, lower, higher) as necessary to achieve their target vacancy rate. Notably, the market itself usually has highly variable seasonal demand and relatively low volume, so it can take months to figure out if you're high/low/just right unless you're managing a LOT of units.

For landlords, vacancies can practically never be zero for very long without problems, for similar reasons why unemployment at zero for very long creates problems - there needs to be some downtime to do things like unit maintenance and upgrades, adjust timing to have availability during peak times for good tenants, etc.

Zero would be ideal from a ROI perspective though.

Attempting to corner the market - in all but the smallest markets - can be VERY expensive and high risk, due to high capital and cashflow costs for housing stock, high workforce
(and household) mobility in the US, and a very diverse set of competitors.

After all, anyone who actually owns housing in the area is a potential competitor if rents get too high, let alone all the small/medium landlords which don't have nearly enough cushion to attempt that kind of maneuver without going almost immediately bankrupt.

So even if all the big corp apartment complexes or whatever were in on it (and the big property management companies too), all the smaller/medium landlords would be unable to even attempt to participate and folks would end up moving to subletting SFH pretty quick.
One trouble w/ RDF is that there are two official ways to do ordered collections, the RDF list which is basically a LISP list, and then RDF collections where the order is encoded in predicates. Neither is well-supported in most tools, for instance SPARQL lacks the list handling capabilities that you'd see in

https://docs.arangodb.com/3.12/aql/

or

https://www.couchbase.com/products/n1ql/

The XMP spec, for instance, hacks Dublin Core by adding ordering information because... It matters what order the authors are in. Dublin Core on the other hand seems to be developed for cataloging elementary school libraries and they were huge fans of doing the easy stuff and leaving out anything moderately hard, so Dublin Core looks like it has a 1968 level of sophistication and MARC is so much more 2000s. People come to RDF, see all these problems that are ignored, and come to the conclusion RDF is not for them.
Hello from the author, here!
I wanted to explain that we use Nftables for NATing, Firewall Rules and some spoofing avoidance tasks at the moment. Enabling Flowtables benefit the full networking stack for any connections. Give it a try!

Also, happy to answer if there are any questions.

Investment is not rewarded until the platform is used, which won't be until investments are made... it's a multi billion dollar chicken and egg problem that only could have been averted a decade ago by consumers refusing to be locked in to a proprietary standard.
It always amazes me how nearly every job posting somehow acts like Java is an acronym.

At my company I’ve asked that engineers proofread job descriptions so we don’t look stupid, but no, we still post for JAVA, NODE, and C SHARP.
This is because it uses an M3 and not a Max/Ultra/Whatever.

It’s been this way since the M1, the base level chip only has enough GPU for its panel and one external.
Not to mention, you need to give the DisplayLink driver permission to record your screen. Which is probably fine from a security standpoint, but doesn't feel great.

I've used both and while Displaylink works, native support is definitely snappier. Not by much, but just enough to be able to notice.

Trying to best Nvidia’s language on Nvidia’s hardware seems pretty hopeless.

I wonder if that’s the wrong abstraction layer? There exists stuff like CUBLAS, which is of course using CUDA under the hood, but it also is something like a BLAS. Maybe as the AI/ML world keeps developing people will be grow more stubborn about sticking to frameworks. We probably just need a couple rounds of people getting burned by vendor lock-in, I guess.
> not sure it makes sense to compare new laptops with used laptops

It of course makes no sense at all. For any given laptop, you can also buy it used. Including MacBooks, believe it or not. It's a way of puffing up a comparison when the person making it knows the comparison doesn't stand on its own.
I feel like sometimes the bean counters win out too strongly at Apple...
Go is 12 years old (1.0 in March 2012). Young compared to Java, but old enough for codebases to have gone through a few write-rewrite phases. Case in point - this thread is about code that Walmart got when it acquired a company founded in 2014.
The other issue with linking is that the "best" in the windows market is that it's heavily dependent on current promotions. It's easy to find windows laptops discounted >20% which really throws off the direct comparisons at retail prices.
> People dramatically overestimate the correctness of their [C/C++] code and underestimate the potential severity of failures to meet that expectation

Really depends on the field. I heard more than once in my life now that it's better to reboot every night than spend even an afternoon of engineering trying to fix memory leaks.
That's reasonable, and this post is making that specific argument "that wages have not caused or continued the inflationary surge observed in 2021 to 2023." So I think you and the author agree here. I'm guessing the author would also agree that a blanket "wage growth doesn't cause inflation" statement would be too broad and not supportable.
Uhhhh no it's focusing on the fact that responding to someone in the way you describe as level 3 makes people uncomfortable. You want to put the other person at ease so you consciously avoid revealing the ways in which you've analyzed their behavior. Nobody wants to feel like they're being observed so intensely by the person they're talking to.

I don't understand why Nvidia is so obstinate on this front. They would solidify their lead in hardware if they open sourced the entire CUDA software stack. Their hardware competitors are going to reverse it anyway, so they may as well open source the thing and benefit from all the momentum that comes with owning the community's favored software and the hardware that it runs on.
Same. Connecting a Bluetooth mouse works great too.
Yes, basically. If you’re running long-term heavy load, the lack of fans in the Air will of course throttle it. But for short bursts they will perform the same.
If you invented the transformer but didn't have trillions of tokens to train it with, no chatGPT. But if you had Mamba/RWKV/SSSM and trillions of tokens you would have almost the same thing with chatGPT.

The training set is magical. It took humanity a long time to discover all the nifty ideas we have in it. It's the result of many generations of humans working together, using language to share their experience. Intelligence is a social process, even though we like to think about keys and queries, or synapses and neurotransmitters, in fact it is the work of many people that made it possible.

And language is that central medium between all of us, an evolutionary system of ideas, evolving at a much faster rate than biology. Now AI have become language replicators like humans, a new era in the history of language has begun. The same language trains humans and LLMs to achieve similar sets of abilities.
About a year and a half ago, I was looking to get a new MBPro to replace my existing one. I loved the hardware, but having used Linux since the alphabet floppies, the software was always meh. So I was in Costco one day and they had cheap Lenovo ideapads (Ideapad 5 Pro 14") on sale for something like $700US. I bought one, put Pop_OS! on it and it's been running great since. Has and AMD processor, 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. It's really snappy and best of all it's pretty solid with no deck flex.

From looking at these, one part that was not immediately clear, is that they are not specifically just RealPage or Yardi, and rather a long list of property defendants on each case who used the software.

Kramer v RealPage (DC) actually has: REALPAGE, INC.; ALLIED ORION GROUP, LLC; AVALONBAY COMMUNITIES, INC.; AVENUE5 RESIDENTIAL, LLC; BELL PARTNERS, INC.; BOZZUTO MANAGEMENT COMPANY; CAMDEN PROPERTY TRUST; CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD, INC.; EQUITY RESIDENTIAL; GREYSTAR REAL ESTATE PARTNERS, LLC; HIGHMARK RESIDENTIAL, LLC; and UDR, INC.

Show HN: Loominex – Simplified maintenance management software
Hi,

My name is Steven I'm one of the co-founders of Loominex a lean maintenance management system software. Mansur and I are two software engineers currently working in full-time jobs. We started working on Loominex after identifying that there was a lot of discontent with the current maintenance management systems in the space. Most of them were hard to use and many of the users we interviewed at the beginning did not use many of the features of this CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System).

So we decided to build our own, something leaner and easer to use. Some of our features are:
- Dashboard with analytics
- Work order creation
- Document Upload
- Inventory Tracking
- Many more

We built Loominex on a Rails Backend and a React front end. Our tech stack consist:

- Stripe for payments
- Rails (API Only)
- Tailwind UI
- React (front end)

We would love for you to check it out or if you have any other feedback! Also if your in proptech would love to connect. Follow me at

Around the time when self-driving carriages were first introduced, some states had laws requiring that a person with a red flag must walk in front of any motorized vehicle. But only in cities, a reasonable compromise.

Yes, and this will finally bring banking to poor peasants in the third world!!111!! /s

Seriously, the idea that crypto (with its concomitant key management problems) is a solution for the challenges facing the poor in badly governed countries is rather absurd.
Apache Beam, Kafka and Scylla at my previous job were both examples where I felt like the .NET offerings were either not official or severely lacking.
Actually you do not see a new image, you see a amount of details and your brain rewrites the history of what you saw so there is continuity.
Absolutely to OpenAI being Microsoft in a trench coat.

This is not an uncommon tactic for companies to use.
> Plenty of open-source tested-at-scale libraries being put through their paces at large organizations taking in tons of traffic. Best-practices out-of-the-box adapter libraries for most infrastructure. First-party (actual first-party highest tier of coverage) libraries for communicating with the most common infrastructure (All of AWS, elasticsearch, kafka, cassandra, etc).

I doubt this is really it. It's probably more about the size of the labour pool, and unfamiliarity with the language and functional programming that extends onboarding.
Equanimity: A Creator's Greatest Asset
The reason we chucked loads of data at it was because we had no other options. If you wanted to write a function that classified a picture as a cat or a dog, good luck. With ML, you can learn such a function.

That logic doesn’t extend to things we already know how to program computers to do. Arithmetic already works. We don’t need a neural net to also run the calculations or play a game of chess. We have specialized programs that are probably as good as we’re going to get in those specialized domains.
I am hoping the limit is just a MacOS thing, like how MST1.2(?) was supported on my old MBA(2015) hardware but not available on MacOS. I could Daisy chain DisplayLink monitors on Linux, but MacOS wouldn’t let me, and I was limited to a single monitor.

I use Asahi Linux on M2 now, and the USBC display support isn’t done yet, but I am hoping it would be better than MacOS.
Injecting a Dose of AI into LinkedIn Headlines: LinkedIn Headlin Generator
Hello, folks!

Ever felt like your LinkedIn headline was as exciting as watching paint dry? Is the usual “Full Stack Developer at XYZ” or “Tech Lead at ABC” starting to seem a bit plain? We'd all like our LinkedIn profiles to have that special something, right?

During lockdown, I was feeling a bit low. No matter how much I fine-tuned my LinkedIn headline, my visibility in searches was about as good as finding a missing semicolon in a sea of code. That's when it struck me - why not develop an AI tool to handle the task?

A few days of sleepless nights, ceaseless coding and a questionable amount of coffee later, I'm thrilled to introduce the LinkedIn Headline Generator. This nifty AI tool works up attention-grabbing LinkedIn headlines, aiming to add that sprinkle of verve to your professional outlook.

Go ahead, test the waters: https://webmatrices.com/linkedin-headline

Perhaps you'll stumble upon a headline that brings out your professional essence in a whole new light. Also, be sure to share any exciting headline exploits or improvement suggestions. I'm all coded-up ears!
Even if there are technical limitations that prevent Apple from adding more I/O easily, as a consumer it feels like artificial segmentation/limitation.

Apart from the initial M1 MacBook Pro release, it feels like most products Apple has released in the last few years has always been missing one or two features, and the next release happens to have that feature. E.g. the first M1 Air did not have MagSafe even though the Pros did, and then Apple included MagSafe in M2 Air, but it didn't support multiple displays; now Apple is including multiple displays in M3 Air.

It feels awfully convenient that each generation conveniently has a nontrivial feature upgrade.... Apple has less incentive to make each generation "complete" -- by delaying features (more) consumers will feel obligated to upgrade per generation.
Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro 14" 14ACN6. Got one at Costco over a year ago for around $700US. Runs Pop_OS! really well.

Weight is very much light enough for me.

Edit: There is one downside I found. I replaced the 512GB SSD with 1TB and nearly needed stitches because the bottom plate was so sharp. Oh and I just looked it up, it's listed at 3.04lbs
> There is no rule in copyright law that says you have to do that, and the GPL is just a license agreement at the end of the day, not a law. The best you can do is say you'll collect some fine for copyright violation or breach of contract if they don't release the source code, which was the issue of substance here too.

In the US, a GPL can be both a license and a contract at the same time [1]. The distribution rights granted by a GPL to the user are conditional on the user's compliance with the GPL.

Contract law allows for punitive damages. Copyright law allows for 1. permanent injunctions against the defendant's continued use and/or distribution of the copyrighted work and 2. statutory damages xor actual damages. Every GPL requires distribution of source code under the same licensing terms to users already given the object code, so the party suing to enforce the GPL can request that the court compel distribution of the source code; the court can agree or disagree. The court can also decide to give the GPL violator the choice of 1. releasing the source code or 2. no longer distributing any copies or derivatives of the GPL'd software until the violator releases the source code or 3. whatever else. The court may impose a punitive fine in any case.

Commuting to/from an office is usually a prime example of when a laptop's weight would matter.
Weird that neither the article nor the source tweet link to the actual terms, but it seems to be true: https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/eula/index.html#limitations (in section 8)
My Asus zenbook 14 is around that price, has a 1TB disk, and 16GB of ram. I'm sure the processor on the M3 is faster, and probably a fair amount more battery out of it, but now I'm comparing a $1000 zenbook to a $1700 13' macbook once I add disk and memory, without the upgraded cpu.
Is anyone else annoyed that Apple are extra shifty with performance comparisons these days, comparing to M1 and not to M2 MB Airs?

I opted for a M2 Air in October seeing small differences in M2 pro vs M3 pro, so I guess I was right - the difference must be so small that Apple can't stomach the difference.

I'd rant about how they try to market new models with more and more stupid marketing when they don't have anything to show, but I guess this only means I don't need to upgrade for a while since they are all out of proper innovation...

Imagine being a fanboy for Apple this days. Nothing to look for. They are so blatant in extracting value and not bringing anything new to the table, probably best compared to Nokia in it's heyday.

Given the description also describes moving from a custom event sourcing engine to Kafka it doesn't seem to be moving away from reactive programming. As much as anything it seems like something of an "Apache Effect" that some Enterprise Highly Paid Consultants came in, told them they were doing "everything wrong" and that everything would be better with off the shelf open source components and that the "best" language for working with off the shelf open source components is Java. Most of that isn't true in various ways, but the number of Enterprise HPCs that love Java despite that language's deficiencies is surprisingly high. (Though maybe not that surprising given Oracle owns Java today and has always directly and indirectly owned a lot of HPCs in the Enterprise space.)
The FTC is not going to take action that would hurt a $2T American corporation and help Chinese hardware manufacturers/reverse engineers, no matter how valid such a case would be.
I’m not sold on the idea of touch on laptops either, particularly since it often comes with compromises that make the display worse at its traditional job — large touch-sensitive screens are typically glossy and have some of the worst antiglare coating I’ve ever encountered, to which the iPad is not exempt (treating glass to be both oleophobic and antiglare must be cost prohibitive beyond smartphone sizes or something), as well as visible touch sensitive wire matrices which is commonly seen on touchscreen PC laptops.

I think the idea would be better implemented by a second screen on a swiveling laptop lid. This allows the user to signal to the OS to toggle touch specializations by way of closing or swiveling the lid and lets the main display remain a great no-compromises traditional laptop display.
Right but in this case the AIR is the consumer model and it supports 2 displays while the base PRO supports 1. So it seems counter!
As a dev I was getting ~4 years out of Intel MBPs. The old ones still did the job well, but the new ones just did everything fast enough to justify the expense. Now I just realized I have over 3 years on my M1 MBP, and I realize I'm closer to the middle of my upgrade cycle than the end.
Did anthropic just kill every small model?

If I'm reading this right, Haiku benchmarks almost as good as GPT4, but its priced at $0.25/m tokens

I'm familiar with this stereotype, but again, do you know of any such research in this case? I'm not an economist but I can't immediately find any, even if I add stuff like "conservative think tank" to my search terms.
Oh, c'mon, you weren't this specific. And I was. A 240mm rad is large by normal standards. Sure, a 360mm one is larger, but also usually not needed and you are likely to run into clearance issues.
Agreed on that. A friend of mine was recently renovating his house on a budget, and I pushed him really hard to put in ethernet. Somewhere on our third discussion, I realized:

- he lives on a 5acre tract in the absolute middle of nowhere. He can see other houses from his, but not many--and subdivision of those properties is prohibited.
- neither he nor his family are big gamers or streamers
- the best internet service he can get is Starlink, by a significant margin.

In a low-noise environment like that, wi-fi was going to work fantastically well for all his anticipated uses and then some. There was literally no point in installing Ethernet for him, while I've been longing for ethernet for years.
This was an interesting read.

In essence, a randomised controlled trial looked at the effects of gut microbiome modulation on muscle function and cognition in older adults. Participants in the trail received either a prebiotic or a placebo.

My takeaways:
- The prebiotic improved cognitive function, but not muscle function, for members of the trial.

- The gut microbiome composition changed in the prebiotic group, with an increase in Bifidobacterium abundance. (Was not clear on a first read if that is necessarily always positive).

- The trial suggests that microbiome modulation might be a target for improving cognitive function in older adults.

- Prebiotics the trial mentions: inulin and FOS
