You're saying two very different things. Nobody actually wants this is not the same as nobody is actually moving forward to achieve this. Performance is something like a tragedy of the commons. Because everybody is just doing what's in their own short term interests, but the long-term consequence is where we are today: you'd need what would literally have been a supercomputer, not that long ago, to run a word processor.

It's kind of funny to imagine this parallel world where you send a PC of today back to the 70s. Whichever government got their hands on it would be keeping it ultra classified and hiding it away, like it was some device, too dangerous for the public, that could computationally solve any problem imaginable, create anything imaginable.
I can confirm, loved this app.

Wasn’t it approved for people with diabetes?

I’m assuming the tests were done on people with diabetes then.

Were there tests done on non diabetic people as well?
A big spike sticking out the top could change the center of mass and the moment of inertia. Both of those could affect how the car handles even if the spike never touches anything.

Oh, and they can affect the mass. If the grip of the wheels takes into account the normal force, extra weight may help with traction.

Hmm, and a 4th thing: some cars have a spike sticking out back behind the back wheels. These spikes sometimes function like wheelie bars, which are used on drag racers to prevent the car from flipping if the front end lifts off the ground. The wheelie bar kind of braces it but also lifts the traction wheels off the ground so they stop rotating it at the wrong moment.
MacOS makes it easy to remap modifier keys. Command can be mapped to Control, with Control put elsewhere. I mention this because this review (and many like it) mention the mental disconnect when frequently switching between Macs and Windows or Linux.

I'm one of those people. Putting Command on Control means that's one less thing I have to think about. Keyboard shortcuts become mostly the same between the different systems.
Stating that you eat as much as you want is meaningless. How many kcal/day is that exactly? Most people are terrible at estimating their calorie intake.

This seems incredibly optimistic considering all of pharmaceutical history in the united states.
Saying "FAANG" without clarifying "in Canada" was completely misleading. Since the only reason you brought it up was to signal high income, it must have been deliberate.

Also, you went straight from "I've always known what the best choice is" to "I thought FAANG in Canada was the right choice... but it's a huge mistake."
You're spouting nonsense and contradicting yourself.

Everyone else, sorry for having accidentally fed a troll.
It makes more sense when you think of it "the monitor's top bezel was shrunk to about an inch wide, which allows for the menubar to be pushed up to where the bezel would be, creating more usable vertical screen space."

On my old MBP, the menubar starts below where the camera module is.

That area rarely gets used, so why not put the camera there? It is weird how large the area is, however. The camera is a fraction of the tab's size and there aren't any sensors on either side, I don't think.

You pretty much forget about it after a week or so. The only people who make a giant fuss about it are people who haven't used a system with it for very long, if at all.
Thought I would dislike my iPad Pro and eventually would trade it in for this M3 Air but ended up keeping it. Covers the consumption cases the Air would’ve facilitated and Terminus is a pretty good app for SSH’ing into my main machine and working on projects.

Downside is how many apps surprisingly lack iPadOS versions
Shouldn't precompiled headers mitigate that?

Yep, or if you declare an explicit return type for the function, TS correctly gives a "Function lacks ending return statement and return type does not include 'undefined'." error. But if you have a function that's purely side-effecting, I think you still have to do something manual.
Apple’s silicon is really, really, really powerful. Enough to run Death Stranding on a laptop without a fan. Sucks it runs macOS though. There is an experimental distro of Linux for Apple silicon, but it’s still in development and doesn’t run very much software.
:D Nice. I'm also working towards that goal of a man cave with neon and gold Schlitz sign and a pool table next to the milling machine, table saw, drill press, and central vac. 70's-90's rock playlist sets just about the right mood for making stuff.

CryptoTalks – A privacy focused LLM aggregator
CryptoTalks.ai is a public API and browser chat app that allows you to use popular paid and free LLM APIs anonymously.

AI is super powerful, and so it's important that its access is free and private as possible so everyone can participate in its benefits. I built cryptotalks.ai to bring access to AI to those who aren't part of the traditional financial system or those that prefer to maintain their privacy.

Most LLM API providers require you to sign in with non-private authentication methods like Google, and validate with email or SMS. Cryptotalks requires none of that because cryptocurrency is the only accepted form of payment.

In the future, I hope to host fully homomorphic encrypted models, which will enable users to query LLMs without the provider seeing the unencrypted query entirely. This would be a big step in digital privacy, but is currently out of reach for LLMs.

I welcome everyone's feedback, and hope someone finds this useful.
what’s wrong with trading or selling?
On the other hand, every Apple device I’ve had has been usable for longer (and mostly with no repair) than the non-Apple laptops or phones I’ve had.

For example, my old MacBook Pro was from mid-2015, I only replaced it with a new M2 Pro early last year - it was my primary machine for almost eight years, with just one battery replacement. The current iPhone I’m writing this on is from late 2020 (12 Pro) and still in fine working condition, I can’t see myself having any reason to upgrade this year.
It's not far off. The average new car transaction price is now $47K. I can't understand how so many people are able to afford such expensive cars but somehow they're making it work.

Even Neal Stephenson probably thought that an AI priest (now lay theologian) was a stretch for Reverend Wayne's Pearly Gates in Snow Crash, and yet here we are.

Statistical prevalence is irrelevant when talking about a specific person's experiences watching anime. They may predominantly watch shows with female protagonists, or they may have had just a few particular female-protagonist shows in mind when they wrote the comment.

Personally speaking (as someone who watches very little anime and has mostly only seen the famous ones, like Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service), I think only ~10-20% of the animes I have watched have had male protagonists. It is surprising to me to hear that protagonists in that genre are mostly male, given my own overwhelming experience, and I'm not totally sure I believe it.
I think some of them might recognize this (that the cursor only moves if the mouse is on a surface), but figuring out how to use it to recenter your mouse in space is a bit of a logic leap.

> how far forward the Texas grid is when it comes to renewables.

And how far backward Texas is with respect to the grid.

When the big freeze went through, ERCOT didn't have the ability to actually cut manufacturing plants off. They could only manipulate the price. They had to get on the phone and request that various manufacturing facilities voluntarily shut themselves down.

In addition, part of the problem with the big freeze was that there isn't sufficient granularity in the grid. You couldn't cut off enough people because the grid chunks were also connected to hospitals, fire stations, etc. None of this has changed. Thus, you couldn't do rolling blackouts with enough demand slack to actually allow you to roll them.

On top of that, it is not at all clear that Texas has a plan to restart the grid from scratch if it actually needs a full reboot.

None of this is new. The Federal government documented all this 10 years before the big freeze. Everybody documented it after. Nothing has changed.

> Texas cutting itself off from the national grid, is now at the bleeding edge of renewables.

Texas cutting itself off from the main grid is also why the grid is at the mercy of renewables.

Side note: one of the driving forces for Texas' renewables push was that T. Boone Pickens was trying to monopolize water rights and was using renewables as way to get them.
> in an ideal world LLMs would do my testing

I feel exactly the opposite. In an ideal world, I would write tests to define behaviors and LLMs would write and optimize the production code.

Reducing your total vertical usable screen space just because you don't like that a small area of your menubar isn't screen...is ridiculous.
There is a video which makes its way around the Internet regularly of this crash[1] which was attributed to exactly that, killing all seven on board. (Which makes it pretty heavy for an anecdote, admittedly.)

This is nice in theory, but to call this greenwashing, you would need to have some idea about how often SSDs in "easily repairable" laptops actually do get replaced. If it is a large percentage, then sure, you're right. But if it is a very small percentage (which I am almost certain it is), then Apple's efforts to use recycled materials / have more power efficient chips / in general make devices that seem to last longer than various competitors is going to have a much larger impact than the repairability.
Before you accuse someone of being out of touch, take a look at the average new car transaction price. It's now up to $47K. When you factor in loan payments, insurance, maintenance, and fuel then a huge number of people are spending $1K/month or more on their vehicles. These are literally average people, not wealthy.

I don't think "hidden" and "explicit" are true antonyms.

From your description, direnv is implicit and noisy, whereas dotenv seems to be (unless you embed it in a script) explicit and quiet.
Windows display hotplugging is pretty dire.
I'm sure there's a good explanation (x86 legacy?) but Windows (Win11, current patch, Thinkpad T14) seemingly having a stroke any time I plug in a new display then having to do the "Advanced Display Settings" rigamarole, is always ugly and frustrating.
For me, it's just less hunger and being full faster. I still want the milkshake, just a smaller one and less often.
No, it's not needed. My theory is that they picked that shape intentionally to match the notch on the iPhones. They could have gone with a much tinier notch, since that notch is only hiding a single web-cam lens. The notch on the iPhones also holds the FaceID cameras and tech, but for some reason Apple refuses to put FaceID on their laptops where it would be much more useful. I suspect they'll make it much smaller in the future or change it to a "dynamic island" notch instead.
Because this is how us politics work. We freak out about stuff and immediately assume terrorism instead of billionaire profiteering.

I quite like BlinkSSH as well.
It is being designed for the iPhone which ships with 6GB RAM.

And the idea seems for it to be more of an LAM with fallback to OpenAI for the LLM.
This is not an obvious or trivial headline. Not all weight-loss drugs lead to reduced appetite/consumption.

For example, orlistat blocks the action of lipase during digestion, which prevents the body from digesting as much of the fat in a meal[1].

I remap caps lock to backspace and (as far as I know) need Karabiner to do it. Is there a built-in way?
I did the same. One afternoon I cleaned out the fridge. Food that was still 'good'. All gone. Never bought it again even though I was highly tempted at times and caved once. I knew I was wasting money by throwing away perfectly good but unhealthy food, but it was hurting my goals.

>after [reaching 291 lbs], had to consume an 800-calorie-per-day diet to maintain his weight.

The lengths highly educated individuals go to to explain away obvious fibs. A 300lb person only eats one small meal a day and doesn't lose weight? Come on!
That case was extremely specific and doesn't mean that all code written falls under free speech.

It was also tried in a very different time. Given that we can't even allow free speech on digital platforms today, I'm not sure that many courts would allow for free speech claims to fall under the first amendment.
You'll stop noticing it within a week, few weeks tops.
Your example has the downside of making the environment variables sticky, however, so it's not achieving the same thing.
Of course not 100% of people are obese. Individual susceptibility varies, and as you mention could well be influenced by how the environment or common diets impacts the body, and further by how those changes in the body impact the mind. That said, its not really surprising that a decent portion of the population crave food rich in starches, fat, refined sugar, and salt. On an evolutionary timescale these nutrients have been scarse, so desiring them was advantageous. At the same time, problems from overconsumption were likely vanishingly rare, so there was no pressure to develope countermeasures like decreases appetite in responce to long-term abundance. In many ways our bodies and minds are not adapted for modern life, and this is a distinct problem from our inadvertent mass-poisoning ourselves.
In the case of the example, it didn't work, but every day people are being dropped from their homeowners/car/health insurance.

Yes there are dangers there but they ultimately come down to evidentiary standards. We can't do the thing we always do where all risk is perceived based off of extremely rare incidents so we destroy everyone's privacy while the stuff actually harming people at scale is ignored.
If it walks like a crab . . .
Meh. Like many things in life it isn't one or the other.

If you want to be an extreme outlier, you likely will need some extreme outlier events to occur - depending on what your desire is. For many of us, we're not able to influence many aspects and outcomes in that extreme.

And so I like someone's quote: Life is what happens while you're planning other things.

I’ve never had a tick bite I could miss. They form a blister and itch like crazy for a couple of days. I wonder if the inflammatory response goes away if you get bitten too often. I know it happens with mosquitos if you get bitten too often.
Loan terms have gotten longer. The average new car loan is now 68 months, and many go up to 84 months.

That might not be wise from a personal finance standpoint but buyers seem to prefer longer loans now.

The problem isn't really that null isn't an object, it's that the type system allows any object reference of a particular class to also be null.

After using Typescript for the past couple years, it's such a joy when you define a variable of type Foo and know it won't contain null. Granted, TS also has to deal with undefined vs null weirdness (and even more weirdness in that an object not containing a property is subtly different from that object property being undefined), but in general the support for "optional" typing works very well.

Java tried to add things like the Optional class, but without first-class language support it's just a mess and you have developers doing crazy things, like having a method return an Optional that will sometimes also return null, by design (yes I've actually seen this).
Okay... This review is about the Air though, not the Pro.
Most of the Apple Silicon praise is coming from delusional fanboys. It's only good for one thing and it is power efficiency.

For the majority of people that are really into computers, that means jack shit and it is basically just some nice thing you may want to have if you really have to use a laptop from time to time.

Most Apple laptops (especially the expensive ones) are used by executives and somewhat rich people who want to show off.
I was an Apple technician in the past so I know very well how marketing really doesn't match the typical user, then you get irrelevant "praise".

As someone who actually cared about Apple products, I wish they didn't switch their whole computer lineup to Apple Silicon. They could have kept making standard computers at the same time, but it would have been hard justifying such outrageous markup on ram and storage.
My first program was a mIRC script :D
Interesting. How long until you get over the hard part? I did meal replacement for a while (ALL meals replaced by essentially Soylent) but I just dreamt of food whenever I went to bed - which was super weird because I never dream!
There are priorities apple has when it offers products. The green sustainability initiative is the last of the priorities. The first priority is ensuring good experience. Then comes good options. Then comes green sustainability.
This is true, and how I got into software development as a job, but going forward they will likely be replaced by AI agents off of some site like Zapier.

This one you can definitely recover from. But it really helps to have good family support and acceptance that it will be hard for a while.

If you have no family support then you're going to find it extremely hard. Not impossible, though.
> And normally I'd agree that Made In the USA is diet xenophobia, but Harley specifically, and heavily, lean into being "made in the USA" - as do their owners

And so do Toyota and Honda for the vehicles that are made here, but even those are only a certain percentage, which allows them to say so. It's the same playing field, so I don't really think it matters. And honestly, I think most people if pressed care that it's assembled here by people here and that at least most the parts are from here, especially major parts.

Beyond that it's just corporate branding and PR, and as long as they're all playing by the same rules and people generally understand and agree with it (which I think they do, and if they don't I think if they were pressed to think about it they would come to understand fairly quickly and think it's mostly okay if presented all the facts), so I have a hard time getting thinking it's all that big of a deal, as long as the majority of U.S. sold bikes are made in the U.S. and bikes sold elsewhere are made wherever. I do think it's all a bit stupid and a big PITA, but they all do it so they're all stupid and weird in the same way.

Note: I'm not really sure why people decided to downvote you instead of engage, it's not like I think your POV on HD is invalid, just different than how I see it, so I gave you an upvote to counteract it a little.

Well that is what we are told to support the profiteering part, right?
What they don't tell you is that all of those recycled metals are both cheaper and greener than freshly mined and almost always have been. Steel and aluminum take less energy to recycle that to mine and extract.
They won’t really be going with on-device AI, the models require way too much RAM, but maybe they claim on-device AI “pre-processes” and removes personal information before requests are sent to Apple. Apple has a marketing team to spin this better than my description.

How about "actual users" rather than "actual customers?" We should not normalize this because it eats away at free software. It is totally unreasonable to have to pay the operating system's manufacturer in order for person A to simply distribute software to person B, outside of manufacturer's infrastructure. The manufacturer has nothing to do with that distribution, and has no business "warning" the user about this software.
I've been thinking about the description of these traffic tickets as "dystopian" more today than I'd like to admit. Something about it has really bothered me and I finally think I know what. I would argue that this is actually _utopian_: fair and equal treatment under the law, whether you are the NYPD Commissioner or the Mayor, Black or white, gay or straight, male or female—if you are parked in an illegal spot, you'll get a ticket in the mail.
They should open source their game engine. That way we can learn from their mistakes. How can we be sure this is a shortcoming of the language and not the APIs the author is working with?

Anyway - no one is going to ship a game written in Rust with this attitude. To the other folks out there happily writing their games in Rust - don't be distracted! All it takes is one success story to prove the concept :)
Bad abstractions have a heavy cost on readability and just your whole teams ability to reason about the program.

If your “DRY” change PR removes 1 repeated piece of code but adds in 1 kind of nonsensical abstraction, 1 extra coupling between two pretty unrelated things that use that abstraction, 1 change to the input and output of the function, 1 test suite testing for two separate “things”, etc. it’s not sounding like such a clear positive contribution to the codebase.

If we want to go by some of the old adages then a non-dogmatic reading of Single Responsibility - the abstraction should be about one thing - is pretty good in my book.
My son found some of my old java code from 20 years ago and managed to get a couple of the programs to run, with some very minor modifications. The java applets not so much, because no browser has had support for applets for a decade or so.
