If you know what you want then most sites will have filters to narrow down the choices very quickly. If you don't know what you want and nobody told you what you need then any model is probably fine.

I don't get it. What's so great about Apple's lack of choice?
I’d still do a backup, yes, even if storage is removable.
The GA144 consumes between .00014 and .65 watts. That's probably significantly less than a single one of these "E"-cores.
Finding a laptop that runs Linux natively and acceptably is always a challenge. My Dell XPS 9315 touts linux support, but only with an older version of Ubuntu using custom drivers (as I discovered after purchasing it). So I've got manjaro running that took quite a bit of coaxing - though the built-in webcam has never, and probably will never work with any linux other than Ubuntu 20.04, and the APM has always been extremely wonky (also, much BIOS and config tweaking to get it to work acceptably).

In any case, if these ARM-based macbook pros can run linux native with minimal fuss, I'd buy one -- but AFAIK, they're not there yet.
aha, that would explain the distinction, my 3rd party RF lenses are all manual focus.

my favorite of the latest crop has been a 50mm f/1.4 tilt lens, manual focus of course.
Especially because it was also the first network laser printer. The LaserJet series didn't get networking until 1987, and that model cost $20k.
I am not interested in non-home offices in 2024... So no, even if offered for a dedicated, large, nice etc office I decline in advance.
$500 laptops are good enough until they have to call over a tech consultant (me) to work through some issues once every 3 months. At trip charge of $65 each, they aren't saving money with a $500 laptop - and then the battery gives out 2.5 years later.

This isn't theoretical, it happens all the time. I worked with a person who had a 10 year old MacBook Air - it still worked and held a charge! They got their money's worth.
Why wouldn't an abstract `Graph` type and specific implementations of that work? Like Java has for `Set` and various implementations?
Intel won't revoke AMD's license, because they themselves are licensing the 64-bit architecture from AMD. It's called amd64 for a reason.

> All data was lost because the storage is not removable.

I have removable disks in my workstation but that has never saved me from data loss. The most common cause of data loss is an errant "rm -rf" or "git checkout" or whatever. The second most common cause is the storage media failing (bad sectors, flash wear, etc.). On portable devices, I imagine one of the most common causes of data loss is losing the device itself.

The only way to prevent these classes of data loss is with backups. "One is none."

As a sidenote, Stepanov’s introduction [0] to the Boost Graph Library book explains a lot about his approach to programming. He didn’t write the BGL, but his work on the STL was a major inspiration for it.

This was Apple’s secret - they punch bigger with large quantities of components.

When the original iMac came out, it was by far the #1 computer SKU. It was way better than competing products at the price range because of those economies of scale.

It’s good but they should’ve upped the memory from 24G to 32G. In my opinion a new Macbook Air only makes sense when you can get more memory. And I still think it’s the best laptop.
I can't read it anymore, but there were two points, IIRC:

1. The suggestion that it's just a money grab. Of course it's a decent amount of money, but it has to be in order not to be just another sternly worded letter.

2. The implication that politicians are corrupt. Some will be, that's an unfortunate fact, but a slap-dash statement that they all are doesn't serve any purpose but to undermine trust in the institutions and democracy.

And the cause cannot really be disputed. I'm a bit of an Apple fanboy, and I'm somewhat opposed to non webkit browsers on iOS, and alternative app stores (but that's another story), but Apple clearly misbehaved in this case, and only for their own profit.
I mean, it's not like it's rocket science!

More seriously, the humans in question were very skilled pilots with huge amounts of general flight experience and specific lunar training; they also had access to hardware that had already been expensively tested in the lunar environment. Neither of those were available to this project.
Meanwhile, GPT4 nails it every time:

> Jake has 2 brothers. Each of his sisters has 3 brothers, including Jake, which means there are 3 brothers in total.
> Yes? We're both already in agreement about that.

Ah, that wasn't clear to me.

Of course there are differences between the platforms, but not enough to justify legislation, IMO. Comparing current Apple to 95-2005 Microsoft is not useful. Mac and Linux users had to run Windows in one way or another to interoperate with the rest of the world in many situations back then. Not true for Android at all.
> Have you ever tried to trade in an Apple product? They ask you to enter the serial number and then bizarrely ask you to indentify to device.

Yes, Apple changed to a randomized serial number format in 2021. https://www.macrumors.com/2021/04/14/apple-preapres-for-rand...

So, if you have a device made after that transition and Apple doesn't already know the details (e.g. because you didn't buy it direct), they'll also need to know how much RAM and SSD space it has.

My last company used it, they even had an enterprise support contract about 5+ years ago. There were some growing pains however. Random performance issues and some other features didn't work as well as Cassandra.

I think most of that has been solved, so I feel confident in recommending it. But also, Cassandra is pretty good as well.

It's valid, but makes the benchmark kind of useless unless your plan is to ask the model how to make meth.

More power to you if that is your plan, but most of us want to use the models for things that are less contentious than the things people put into chatbot arena in order to get commercial models to reveal themselves.

-

I'd honestly we rather just list out all the NSFW prompts people want to try, formalize that as a "censorship" benchmark, then pre-filter chatbot arena to disallow NSFW and have it actually be a normal human driven benchmark.
Is the bourgeoisie stuff any more acceptable? The original comment I replied to was talking about death cult tactics.
It says the username values are hashed, so they can't actually see them. It just stores the hash.

So, you tell someone my username is "ABC", their Signal client hashes it and looks up the account and messages you.

Signal can keep the mapping of hash to number, but doesn't care about the plaintext value of the username.

After the person has messaged you/added you, then you can delete the mapping, at that point they're connected to you, even if they don't see your metadata like phone number.

Then, from the article, others can reuse the username too.
Forcing prices to be public would of course not keep cartels from being effective. But I claim the most efficient market is where all prices are public and coordination is prohibited, per standard theory (which applies find when supply is fixed).
> OK? regardless of why or how it happened, it happened and it means that AMD is fine.

AMD is only fine because Intel wasn't able to sue them out of existence. If Intel had managed to do in the 90s what Nintendo did to Yuzu just now, there'd be no Ryzen today.

> Seems counter to Nvidia offering support in publishing documents

NVIDIA only started publishing documents because Nouveau's success in reverse engineering meant that it was pointless trying to pretend that the genie could be put back in the bottle. Nintendo undoubtedly knows this too; lawsuits like this in 2024 ultimately aren't rational moves on their part, but big conservative Japanese companies have never been known to be particularly adaptable.

> Again would love an article on this. I can't find anything backing up that this ever happened. Not only on Audodesk's website do they mention third party software but they have an SDK for this file format for others to use. While blender does in fact not use that SDK, and the format is proprietary, I can't find anything backing up what you claim.

I found it myself when I was documenting the FBX file format (which I eventually gave up on because it was too horrifying of a format to motivate continuing) [1]. Blender calls it "CRC rules", but I think it's actually an attempt to lock non-licensees out. The SDK is closed-source, proprietary, and comes with a whole bunch of restrictions in its EULA.

I finally made the switch to Apple after being thoroughly frustrated with Windows laptops.

It's not even close to a competition. Macbooks are just so far ahead of everyone else that you can't even compare them.

Most Windows laptops have abysmal batteries, to the point that you can barely call them laptops. The trackpads are downright unusable. The keyboards are a hit or a miss. And for some reason, so many companies are still shipping laptops with 1080p screens in 2024.

Anything even remotely within Macbook vicinity costs the same as a Macbook anyway.

Increasingly feels like most manufacturers have given up on the laptop as an innovation center and are happy to just scrape up the consumers who can't or won't buy Apple.

>Let's take an example. Let's say you are working on a feature. Your boss interrupts you (, bosses, right?) and says "we need this bug fixed". Or maybe you just notice the bug as you're working. Whatever it is, you need to switch contexts while in the middle of something. Now you have a few options.

- You can fix the bug and commit it into your feature branch and try to get them both deployed together.

- You can stash everything, create a new branch, switch to it, fix the bug, commit and push it, then switch back to what you were working on.

- You could locally clone the repository to a new directory and work on the other branch there, then push it back into the main one and then push from there back upstream.

--

What?

Why couldn't you, like, create another branch off of main, switch to that, and fix the bug there, then resume working on your feature branch?

Then when one of the two (bugfix or feature branch) is merged into main, you rebase main into the other.

"lines of code" is so often used as a "disparagement" about software rather than a metric for understandability.

GPT4 API and ChatGPT both get it wrong:
"Sally has 2 sisters. Each of her brothers has 2 sisters because Sally and her 2 sisters make up the group of siblings each brother has."

GPT4 w/ CoT system prompting gets it right:

SYS: "You are a helpful assistant. Think through your work step by step before providing your answer."

USER: "Sally (a girl) has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters. How many sisters does Sally have?"

ASSIST: "Let's break down the information given:

1. Sally has 3 brothers.
2. Each brother has 2 sisters.

Given that Sally is a girl, she is one of the sisters. Since each brother has 2 sisters and we know Sally is one of them, there must be one more sister to make the statement true for each brother.

Therefore, Sally has 1 sister."

The importance of prompting makes it quite difficult to compare model peak performance. Especially since different models have different styles of prompts that generate peak performance.

This is a bad attitude - every system can be gamed - social/market pressure is an important mechanism for shaping outcomes.
I keep reading this argument, and it's hard for me to grasp how people think it makes sense. Why do people keep comparing an LLM to a human?

If I copy-paste your code, can I say that my computer "read your code, learned from it and later wrote something inspired and based on the knowledge it internalized"? If I take a photography of a photography, can I sell it as mine, given that my camera "observed the original and learned from it"?

My opinion is that if you read my code, learn from it and later write something inspired and based on the knowledge you internalized, then that is fine. Because you are a human. But if you do anything that it functionally an obfuscated copy-paste and pretend that you actually created that, then that is not fine.
> Relational databases are graphs where the nodes are records and the edges are foreign keys

I disagree with the premise of the article: programming languages do have strong and mature support for graphs in the form of relational database interfaces, which cover most of the real-world use-cases for linked data.

FWIW, submarine patents are long dead, so it is possible to feel assured that old enough stuff is patent free.

The good news is that we were able to improve intelligibility slightly compared with filling with zeros (it's also a lot less annoying to listen to). The bad news is that you can only do so much with PLC, which is why we then pursued the Deep Redundancy (DRED) idea.

It is very odd however to see no mention of the fact that China is about a decade ahead, having completed the Chang'e 3, 4 and 5 missions. which included a successful return of Moon rocks to the Earth. Two more missions are in the works.

The article mentions a Japanese effort, but the omission of China's successes seems fairly deliberate. I wonder what the motivation was?

Yep. It's a great example of how keeping clean-room reverse engineering legal is good for the industry. While Intel was stuck in Itanium hell, AMD was able to leapfrog them and create x86-64 because it had been legally successful with reverse engineering 32-bit x86 in the past. If Intel had been able to crush AMD in the 90s, there's a good chance x86 would be dead by now.

> They built the iPhone, iOS and all its frameworks and the App Store.

Well they don't give iPhones and App Store away for free.

Cheapest iPhones in Germany cost ~$530 for a 64GB model which Apple will nag you to subscribe to their iCloud to offload data.

Meanwhile developers need a $1k macbook (with measly 8GB RAM and 256GB storage btw) and $100/year.

And you get no choice to install from other app stores. So generous!
So, well, I was an Atari ST user back in the day. So.

And yes the Mac dropped in price for a period in the late 80s, 90s, in the 030 era as you say. But this had a lot to do with dropping component prices and Apple's mass market strategy at that point. At that point in time my mother got a IIlc on educational discount and it was a far better deal than a PC of the same era, at least for what she was doing.

And in that era they made it a relatively open platform at that point, too, with an expansion bus, and ADB and all that.

But that was well beyond when Jobs was there. His original vision was a locked down appliance box. Though he changed his tune when he went over to NeXT.

The original Mac was too expensive for regular middle class people, and it had no expansion ports. I don't think you can deny those two facts.
