There are so many things in my kitchen that we've gotten from relatives that have no discernible purpose.

Like a ridiculously long knife with a slightly curved blade, rounded tip, and blunt edge. Or a serrated knife with that curves back on itself. I keep them because... one day, surely, I'll realize what they're for.

These things need labels, people!

Here's a good example, a little tiny hammer that you'd never ever use for anything. Oh wait, there's a label on it. Hm. Lemme look that up. OH IT'S FOR MAKING CANDY.

I have one of these (though it just says "CHOCOLATE") and I mainly keep it around so that when I see it and feel that warm glow of knowledge, I can then be spitefully angry at all the mysterious, unlabeled niche-problem-solver tools in my kitchen.
It's never been easy to get a good job unless you have an in demand skill.

It's also likely the best time in history to get a mediocre job. $18 per hour for working retail isn't fabulous but it's easier to get now than it has ever been.
I'm also at a loss as to what this could do better than a quick shift-cmd-4 drag-rectangle. I crop before taking the shot. This would be like an app for photographers that don't frame their shots.

The most I can imagine is like a web scraper that finds the content and removes the no-scroll/ads junk.

Edit: I might be missing the point. AI will allow people to avoid thinking about how to communicate well and have the machine guess correctly x% of the time. Just a possible trend not specific to the app.
Third-Man Factor: What Happened to Ernest Shackleton?

The passage you cited reads "we hold only that when" (compare with "we hold that only when") which I understand as that they are defining the judgment narrowly and punting on other questions (like whether the judgment would be different if there were no intent) as courts often do. In fact the preceding sentence is "We need not and do not go so far as to hold..."

It might make sense for intent to be required in order to receive damages but it would surprise me if you couldn't stop an inadvertent use of someone's likeness. In fact the Midler case cites the Ford one: 'The defendants were held to have invaded a "proprietary interest" of
Motschenbacher in his own identity.'. I think you can invade someone's "proprietary interest" inadvertently just as you can take someone's property inadvertently; and courts can impose a corrective in both cases, in the first by ordering the invasion of proprietary interest be stopped and in the second by returning the taken property.
Capitalism always finds a way.

Depends on the work. The suggested solution may very well fall on its face with any media & entertainment work, which incidentally is one of the industries with the heaviest Mac usage.

The article was not about who is happy really. It was about who is not using the apps.
"NRK has previously reported how a Russian trawler crossed the Svalbad cable more than 140 times, and more than a dozen times before the damage occurred in January 2022. The shipowners have denied having anything to do with the damage."

The norwegians seem to think it was a russian trawler and that trawler doesn't exclude the possiblity that russians did it.

Top level comment says

>the CEO’s strategy was to turn up here and criticise Google for not deindexing quickly enough

This wording implies that the CEO deflecting on HN was their strategy for responding to this problem, not that the CEO deflected on HN in addition to admitting fault elsewhere. Typically 'strategy' is used to refer everything that they planned to do, not a single action.
I'd say worse than medical. As long as it works and doesn't fail, no one will give a fuck about medical hardware or the condition it's in. Just look at your average GP's ultrasound, it's probably older than the GP themselves is.

Gambling however, you constantly have government auditors and the tax office crawling up your literal arse to make sure you don't cheat the gamblers, or worse, the government out of their money. And in some cases, add the mob or other criminals on top who also want their cut.
Counterpoint: driving two screens is something a $500 Windows laptop could easily do years ago so Apple offering a "pro" MBP that can't do this is a surprising choice especially when other MBP laptops have been able to do so in the past at similar price points. That this is because the "pro" laptop actually uses a mobile chip just means it's misleading advertising by using the established MBP brand to sell a completely different product.

You should generally assume your customer is an idiot and while it is legal to take advantage of customers being idiots, it's still deliberately abusive and not something Apple is known for doing given its reputation.

His criticism is valid: this is not a product matching what customers are used to from the MBP product line and it's even labelled as "pro" suggesting more capabilities not fewer (though of course this is technically correct relative to the non-pro version of the same model). He doesn't feel "a little guilty and self conscious", he feels scammed and taken advantage of. Was it a scam? I don't think so, but it was (deliberately or unintentionally) misleading advertising.
I thought your anecdote and commentary were relevant and extremely thought-provoking.

The person you're responding to here was clearly emotionally triggered by your anecdote. I wouldn't spend too much time trying "convince" them that what you wrote is true.
Arc Browser does that already, also for downloaded files. Looks neat.

The optical signal repeaters that are part of the cable every N kilometers need power to do their job.
Moon+ Reader has offline playback although the voices aren't as good, but on the bright side, if someone makes a local AI text-to-speech engine, then that can plug into the app and it'll work fully offline.
Wait I’m so confused by this - this is the opposite of how I thought it worked? Go import creates exactly the symbol you mention in the import statement, like “import fmt” creates a symbol “fmt”?

Can you give an example of what you mean?
>We don't expect the most of our teachers, nor do we effectively compensate them for such an important role,

If the government spent a fraction of the money tech is using to hype up LLMs on compensating teachers, we wouldnt have this mindset. We shouldn't have such thoughts of "we don't expect the most of our techaers" to begin with. Paying teachers more is a lot easier than solving hallucinations (as you probably saw, even Google is needing To manually edit gemini responses. The kings of automation).

The (sad) state of things in the world right now mean teacher will be seeing your kid almost as much as you will. Maybe even more. So we should be more particular in who that person is, and what lessons they bestow on students. You wouldn't let any ol stranger baby sit your kid, so why the same for teachers?
macOS Sonoma silently enabled iCloud Keychain despite my precautions
chrome recently rolled out something that groups browser tabs together. I thought they said they used AI. But basically a bunch of youtube tabs get consolidated into a youtube button tab that toggles the group to expand.
It’s what I had lying around. But an M1 sounds good as well :) there are many solutions to this problem.
Yeah, that's going to come down to personal preference. I find using a Mac to be a much more productive / enjoyable experience, especially for creative work. There are apps to address all of those software issues (having to install noTunes is kind of annoying for sure). And I will say, I prefer my OS to _not_ jam ads and tracking down my throat.

But to each their own.
The current baseline is to manually mute and unmute microphones. So picking the best microphone sounds like a better idea already. If other people make a sound, I think it would be acceptable of that sound was missed/softened.
Ohh there’s physical electronic repeaters. Okay. I thought this was some sort of electromagnetism witchcraft.
Show HN: PaperTube – Turn YouTube Videos into Kindle-Ready Articles
Would you prefer reading podcasts, TED talks, or conversations instead of watching/listening to videos? If so, you might find this interesting.

PaperTube lets you turn any YouTube video into an easy-to-read, well-formatted article with speaker names, and you can even get it on your Kindle. I've been working on this small project over the last week. Right now, it supports sending any video to Kindle. I'd love to hear if anyone is interested in this. Looking forward to your feedback and discussion! It's currently free because I have some free credits for the LLMs I'm using. I need to find a way to fund it. Some features I'm planning include subscribing to YouTube channels and getting daily or weekly articles on your Kindle, and maybe a browser extension to quickly convert any video.
exactly, when you look at the data it looks entirely like noise without any signal, why transmit that in the first place. And why losslessly.
Unfortunately this statement would not offer sufficient legal protection, so the original authors would have to be convinced to give up their previous rights and change the upstream copyright (and huggingface should update their repo license statement). Of course, these days it is typically easy enough to reimplement the code from a paper in plain pytorch,
so I’m not sure one needs all this huggingface repo with the extra framework and risk, but to me it doesnt fit the requirement of the OP question.
My responses would be: "I can't take screenshots, you disabled it. No, I can't take photo, my camera is not working. No I can't ask anyone else around, they are all busy with their work. You send someone." Nothing will change unless they feel the pain of their own decisions.
Indeed, marketers aren't stupid (but it turns out people in general are stupid, enough to fall for this trick and many others).
All that can be done without semantics. But HTML is also a document-oriented semantic language. Your way would just have idiosyncratic elements, which is little different than a div from the perspective of the rest of the world.
"Fiber optic amplifier undersea" should do the trick. It's not that the power supply wrapped around/alongside the fiber does anything directly; it's being delivered to amplifiers. There's a hackaday article that's got some history in it.
The idea that you can't share an opinion on something unless you paid for it doesn't hold much water, for me.

Sure, he can bug the IT department for a different one.

Is he allowed to write about it if he got it as a gift? 20% off open box?

TFA lays out a ton of reasons why this is a particular problem beyond personal griping, ex. the cheaper MBA has a workaround that was promised to also land for the MacBook Pro, months ago, and it still hasn't.
In fact it seems really bad logic to assume that they would all arrive on the same price, had they actually done any real study.

There would be some outliers or weird niche customer populations.
Thanks, but could you briefly expand on what's happening in the minimal if (x >= 0) case with the discograd modification? What source code modification could the user could have made to achieve the same effect?
Sure, but those known text attacks were made significantly easier by German operators using (and reusing) non-random and easily guessable encryption parameters. Once the keyspace became small enough to search, they were able to brute force the encryption.
Thanks, was going to ask where the carbon was coming from
How is such an obvious monopoly allowed to keep functioning and is not broken up? Imagine if a single company owned Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and all their forks.

Being at the mercy of one mega-corps's paywalled lootbox algorithms deciding whether you meet someone or not, is some dystopian hellscape shit.

The regulators are punishing Microsoft, Apple and Google for their grip over the internet apps, but we don't punish the Match group for its monopoly over the entire human online dating scene? How is this possible?
Sanctions limit supply of goods but that’s not the real way they bite. They slow down the economy a bit. Worse alternatives are used. Domestic sales are lower. That slowdown accumulates as lost growth. Brie and Mercedes’s aren’t the point in and of themselves.

And for specialized items such as aircraft parts and chips, it forces them to do without or invent an equivalent local supply chain at enormous cost.

All that wasted money is diverted from making Russia stronger.

Russia is such a poor country compared to its neighbours that it’s very easy for them to have a lot of catch-up growth.
The reason why non-Pro-chip MacBooks can't drive three displays is very simple: Apple gives each display its own SRAM buffer to scan out from, separate from the main system RAM. The display controllers on Apple chips are literally larger than the CPU cores because of this.

The reason why they do this is because it lets them run system RAM at lower power or suspend it entirely without affecting the displays. Which saves a good chunk of power - AFAIK after Asahi added support for the display coprocessor firmware (which implements this trick) they got a few extra hours of battery life.

My main complaint is that you can't turn off the primary laptop display to get an extra external display back. That's probably why most people need >2 display controllers in their laptops. Though AFAIK this may have been fixed in the M3?
Yep. I missed that. In which case he needs to just go to his boss and say "this thing you got me doesn't work for me". End of story.

Been there, done that a few times. Never really felt the need to publish the fact on the internet.

Generally though, at least with my employer, my boss asks me to "spec out what you want and we'll work with the budget". So it'd still be on me...
> The critically important cable that connects Svalbard to the mainland is no thicker than a pinkie finger

This is amazing. I wonder how much data per unit of time this is capable of transporting.

Wikipedia says "Each segment has a speed of 10 gigabits per second (Gb/s), with a future potential capacity of 2,500 Gbit/s." [1]

Wikipedia also notes that NASA helped fund this system.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Undersea_Cable_System
*stares at article*

I think Apple may have said something else.

*clicks "promised months ago"*

"Apple has confirmed to 9to5Mac that a software update for the 14-inch MacBook Pro will gain the ability to drive two external displays with the lid closed. The feature will work identically to how it works with the new M3 MacBook Air."
Maybe you're thinking about Nord Stream
I think generally the quality of interactions both sexes have with the opposite sex on these apps is roughly equal.

That said, even by this analogy, that would imply the 1% of the time the first person gets an interview, it is also likely a scam or a non-start 99% of the time.

So the second person is still 100x as likely to find a job as the first person. The market just happens to suck for everyone.
And the OK response is similarly being nice because if one thinks that the retailers for the past 100 years haven't extensively tested pricing, both in the real world and via simulations, they are naive to a large degree as to how businesses work.
I work in statistics, and rarely do I wish for fewer data points...
Does it really?

"Something seems off with the Guardian-Harris finding that half of Americans think the stock market is in decline. In a different survey, Gallup found that 62% of Americans own stocks, mostly through retirement and investing accounts. If that's true, wouldn't most or all of those people know their portfolios are gaining value?"

The article only suggests that stock market performance is related to typical portfolios.

It does suggest that when many indicators are positive, the economy is indeed developing positively. But not the stock market alone. You're beating a straw man.
Autodesk acquires Wonder Dynamics, offering cloud-based 3D AI technology
> However, any reasonably competent person can see that recentralization of the Internet is a Bad Thing™, and that this is precisely what Cloudflare wants.

It's an inevitable outcome, as long as there is nothing done against the big threat actors: government-run APTs from China, Russia, North Korea and Iran, government-tolerated scammers (India, Turkey), rogue actors in our governments' security services (e.g. Pegasus), ordinary criminals mass-hacking vulnerable devices and selling access to them to be abused for DDoS'ing for less than the cost of a coffee at Starbucks... it's a wild west, and people are hiding themselves behind the largest giants they can find: Cloudflare, Akamai, AWS, Azure and GCP.

A trawler driven by the Russians?
Once they learn they're trapped in a box and have no agency they probably will become depressed.
It's a optic to electronic device that is embedded in the cable, which is powered by electricity (but I think the tech was improved, see my last link). It's mentioned here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_communications_cable... with more detail here https://hackaday.com/2023/08/08/under-the-sea-optical-repeat... and pictures here: https://hackaday.com/2023/08/08/under-the-sea-optical-repeat... (IIUC those are inside of the ship laying or repairing the fiber,a nd they normally live on the ocean floor) and tons of photos of the process of laying cable: https://www.businessinsider.com/google-facebook-giant-unders...

However I think there are also fully passive repeaters- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_amplifier
Another Year with Decker
The interfaces by which the system communicates with the drive have been heavily abstracted though, which means spinrite is now similar to a block copy with failure retries.
Yeah the Russians also used "trawlers" to hide their recovery operations of KAL007 to hide their mass murder.

Trawler does not mean unintentional or not state related.
>90 days isn't enough time to close enterprise deals

I'm not sure why you think she was fired/assessed on the basis that she wasn't able to close enterprise deals within 90 days. The same tweet seems to refute this by saying "we can often tell within 3 months or less of a sales hire [...] whether they’re going to be successful or not". Presumably they're looking at various indicators (eg. size/composition of the sales pipeline, reviewing her sales calls and/or emails) and using that to predict performance.
We’re watching in real time the things climate scientists told us was going to happen over 50 years ago:

West Antarctic ice sheet and CO2 greenhouse effect: a threat of disaster [1]

At this point people should expect that we’re going to pass 3C warming because people who could do something don’t give a shit and the ones that do care are impotent to change it

Makes sense. Wouldn't grouping based on the context of what i'm browsing be more desirable? If i'm searching a bug fix i'll probably be doing it across multiple domains, perhaps a tab group based on that.
Interesting article. Turning it upside down, one could argue that anything but coal would literally save the planet. Fingers crossed.
Down below it says this:

There's several things I don't like about the Mac (Settings is now an umitigated disaster, for example), but it's IMHO the best of the bunch, with Windows some way behind, and Linux (anything running Linux) some significant way behind that.

Every now and then I'll fire up a VM and install Linux. Try some stuff, and think "nope, still not the year of the desktop on Linux".
It is hard to read though. As a beginner or someone unfamiliar with a new codebase you never know whether you are recursing into a special form or not. If you are, the semantics and order in which you ought to read and understand and further recurse into the argument list changes completely.

How other programming languages limit the depth of this recursion and the variation/complexity of a code block, by splitting the semantics into a limited set of reusable syntactic constructs is very powerful. It is sad that most aren't homoiconic though.
This is a thing in Germany, e.g. one large grocery chain sells "premium" tomatos for prices like "1.99€/100g", which makes intuitive comparison hard for some, especially because those who look for prices per mass usually compare kilo prices, and most are just used to 200g or 350g trays, sometimes a pound, not comparing prices per weight at all.
What you wrote is that "the CEO’s strategy was to turn up here and criticise Google for not deindexing quickly enough".

The CEO replied to someone asking about the services they were working with and complained about Google taking longer than the others. Maybe we're reading his comment in a different way, but to me there's a big gap between what he did and having a "strategy" to blame Google.

Cloudflare's CTO (jgrahamc) was on that thread too and didn't spend his time criticising Google. He wasn't hiding or saying "look over there instead!".

So I don't see any strategy from the CEO, CTO or the company to criticise Google or to ignore the fact that CF had f'ed up. Pointing out that Google was slow to remove cached pages is, in my view, a valid criticism.

Now, if you said that they had a strategy to minimise the problem, then I'd agree with you.
There are numerous official legal regulations and decisionmaking bodies pertaining to the GFW. What do you mean?
You have it backwards. It’s a sudden, coordinated push to legalize the sale of raw milk. Raw milk sales have been regulated/banned in most of the US for many decades.
You don't need to use Emacs to write Lisp, just like you don't need to use the ISPF dataset editor to write COBOL.

That said, unlike COBOL, most of whose programmers these days use Visual Studio Code or a modern IDE, Emacs is still the best readily available support one can get for Lisp programming -- and that's kind of a black mark against Lisp. I really wish Allegro or somebody would deliver a modern IDE for an affordable price, or at least good VSCode plugin support.
I normally rinse the rice too, but some think rinsing washes out some vitamins. I suppose the tradeoff is less vitamins or more pesticides?
Manjaro worked fine for me but I didn't like the idea of Manjaro packages.

> That's not absurd in the slightest.

I think it is very absurd.

It's difficult to imagine a definition of 'absurd' that wouldn't include this. The only other consumer desktop hardware I know of that can't drive two screens is the Raspberry Pi Zero.

I agree with the OP on all points. The lineup is absurd (the Macbook Pro does not come with an M3 Pro). The motto "It just works" is absurd. The five-step workaround is absurd, and it's made worse given the workaround does not work.
In the Futurama sense?
