The article has a sort of clickbait headline, but the last paragraph is delightfully well-grounded:

> “What drives people to upgrade their devices is increased productivity,” said Cutress. “Do these devices enable you to work faster? We’re at the point where the hardware is there. But we’re still yet to see whether there is software that can answer this question.”

The UX has a long way to go, so while I think the technology is very exciting, we're still a ways from hailing the superiority of "AI PCs" over their traditional counterparts, I think.
I don't begrudge anyone their ideals, but I will certainly comment on them if I find them to be silly or hypocritical.

> I would have liked window snapping, but instead we have 1/2 baked split screen virtual desktops.

There’s at least non-fullscreen tiling available now if you hold down Option/Alt when hovering over the green traffic light (which also changes the corresponding Window menu items to “Move Window to (Left|Right) Side of Screen). There should probably be a toggle somewhere that makes this the default.

A lot of it is that the hardware is well-rounded and not as riddled with gambles/compromises as most other laptops are. Usually non-Apple laptops have at least one or two things that suck about them, with the most frequent being battery life, fan noise, and poor thermal design but include mediocre screen, bad keyboard, bad trackpad, bad power management, bad unplugged performance, bad port placement, and chintzy build among other things.

Some percentage of users also just like macOS as it is, though.
um, out of print, and the pdf is available 'soon'? What's even the point of this link then if we can't actually get the book in any way?

Thanks for the feedback. That can be helpful in two cases: 1. understand the best time to post (it changes from day to day). 2. Improve the headline based on the current analyzed trends (this post is on the main page now, so it works!!!)

And btw, I am not sure why it must be so surprising that something is written with LLM nowadays.
I'd like to add that the VNC relay machine only has to fool the end user once. So, the attacker wins as long as they think "the bios is a bit janky this morning, and this is more kernel panicky than usual", and type their pin/password anyway.

Of course, it's much easier to just pop the original laptop open and interpose on the keyboard. Even easier: use acoustics to snoop the keystrokes. The snooper could even be 5g/wifi/gps, assuming it's easy to steal some power from the mainboard. I guess fingerprint + camera ID make that attack harder. Still, the hypothetical device could stream HDMI at a few FPS if it was easy to splice into the display panel cable. (I haven't cracked a laptop recently, but those used to be socketed + unencrypted.)

Miniaturization is weird. The latter attack is probably easier to pull off these days than the former. If you wanted to swap my laptop, you'd need to replicate the dents and stickers. Good luck doing that!
I think you're romanticizing the past that brought us to the current state of consumer markets. Until the 1930s in the US, the primary guiding principle was caveat emptor and it took a lot of regulations to change expectations.
GW or GWh???

I’m guessing they are talking about GW but that is such a frustrating unit to measure storage in. It’s like measuring your gas tank in gallons/minute.

Yes, power capacity matters, but energy is conserved and power is not.

If you have a bank of supercapacitors that can deliver a GW * femtosecond, you do not have significant storage capacity.

I still think journalists should use TJ instead of GWh in these articles in order to clear up this ambiguity.
And then the CCP looked at what the CCCP did, thought "that's cute" and optimised it until they'd invented the social credit score. It turns out digital is the way to go for scale.

They use the atmosphere to help slow the ship down. It takes most of the tank of fuel to get up there and moving so fast. It would take most a tank to slow down. So, they would need about double the fuel plus some for landing.

P.S. I have not done any of the math (I might be able to figure it out but it might take a week or two to figure it out).

P.S.S : Maybe if they could refuel in space efficiently (asteroid mining?) it might be worth looking at but it will be a while before I would expect anything like that. It would just be the ship.
The only long term option is to increase productivity with education and technology because you can't increase population (however you do it) forever. We should also stop emphasising the total GDP (which can be and is boosted by adding more people) and focus on the GDP per capita instead (which seems to be falling in Canada according to the various graphs posted here).

The claim that immigration is the only option is a fallacy peddled because it's the lazy short term option and "Après moi, le déluge" [1]

The velocity of a spacecraft in low earth orbit is over 15,000 miles per hour. Smashing into the atmosphere is perhaps the most fuel- and cost-efficient way to slow down to a speed at which landing is possible.
I can understand why, it's clearly possible. Just look at the galaxies moving away from us faster than the speed of light. Anything is possible, if you work out the magic.
TikTok confirms CNN account hijacked via zero-day vulnerability
This is an interesting point. Wikipedia's page on St. Michael's Sword describes it as "monasteries and other sacred sites" and also notes that they are also "almost all located on prominent hilltops". Only four of the seven locations show up on Wikipedia's list of "churches dedicated to Saint Michael" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_(archangel)#Churches_d...).

Also worth noting: "[Michael's] churches were often located in elevated spots", says the page on San Michele Arcangelo, Perugia.

The obvious next step here is gathering a database of every spot claimed to be sacred to Michael, plotting them on a map, and seeing if this particular set of seven places leaps out of the data. But that sure sounds like work.

(Well, that's the obvious next data scientist step, there's also the obvious next step for the magician or priest, which is to go to or create a sacred space suitable for summoning archangels, call down Michael, and say "hey thanks for coming, so what's up with this line we call your sword?".)
I have never rooted for a flap so hard, and likely never will. I am ready to buy flap merch.

What's the next sentence?

The Wikipedia summary is oversimplified, it's very easy but you do have to affirmatively express an interest and fill out an application (https://www.gov.il/en/service/declaration_of_intent_to_recei...). They don't literally hand it to you when you get off the plane, and even if they did you still can't point to any Jewish person and declare that they must be a citizen of Israel. Most Jewish people have never even been to Israel.

Maybe you're arguing that since it's so easy, all Jewish people in Congress are effectively dual Israeli citizens even if they never actually apply for citizenship. In that case, you'll also be shocked to learn that every single person in Congress is a dual citizen of Dominica, which can be obtained without ever setting foot in the country by just paying $100,000 (https://www.cbiu.gov.dm/dominica-citizenship/). Everyone in Congress can afford that, so we might as well say they've already done it.
Loblaws' stock price going up implies that their profits are better, which implies that their margins are better, which implies that consumers are paying more for the same goods because goods haven't become cheaper due to inflation across the board, which suggests that your claim that Canadians are NOT angry with them is probably not true. I think the fact that Canadians are upset with Loblaws is pretty well documented at this point.
I'm really bummed that they canceled congestion pricing. We almost did the right thing for the city and the planet, and of course at the last minute some politicians have to go and fuck it up. They're really the worst.
And that would be illegal, for good reason.
> We can be fairly sure that before a group of humans die of starvation, they die of violence.

I'm not completely sure about that, but that doesn't alter the argument in my comment. It's just that violence would be the short-term trigger of their death, with a lack of calories being the underlying cause.

Yes, I agree with your second paragraph.

When I was a kid, programming was something I did to screw around and procrastinate my real studies. I saw it as one or two steps up from video games or crossword puzzles on the spectrum from "waste of time" to "valuable self-development."

My dad, who hated computers with a passion but could see them becoming more and more pervasive in society, always thought that being "good with computers" would be something I could fall back on if I had to. He was right. That's basically how I ended up in my first software development job, which I enjoyed enough that I eventually decided to pursue it as a career.
> real estate owners to actually use their real estate instead of letting them rot to benefit from value appreciation

This is such an obviously false premise that I don’t understand how you even arrived at it.

Real estate is expensive to maintain. You don’t let real estate appreciate in value by letting it “rot”.

If you think the US housing crisis is due to investors letting houses “rot” then you clearly don’t understand the situation at all.

Look, you really like to talk with confidence, but every time you bring up a a point, you pull a whatabout. Have you even looked into what the people you’re so very concerned with want? That’s the most relevant part of all. It’s not your feelings. It’s what the people you say you care about want. It doesn’t appear they want what you want for them, and you’re big mad about that bro.

Having worked in many low-trust countries, I very much agree with that assertion. And seeing the effects of the trust-decay in our own, and the trajectory it sets, reinforces that view.

I've been trying to learn Vulkan on and off for years (I used to know OpenGL ES 2&3 pretty well).

One thing I found difficult is understanding how to use things in a real engine rather than a sample. A lot of samples will allocate exactly what they need or allocate hundreds of something so that they're unlikely to run out. When I was trying to learn DirectX, I found Microsoft's MiniEngine helpful because it wasn't overly complex but had things like a DescriptorAllocator that would manage allocating descriptors. Is there something similar for Vulkan?

Another thing I struggle with is knowing how to create good abstractions like materials, meshes, and how to decide in what order to render things. Are there any good engines or frameworks I should study in order to move beyond tutorials?
No idea, I have never used it.
> Please don't misinterpret this as gate keeping, but Vulkan is designed by and for professionals (not hobbyists). It is certainly not a rapid prototyping tool. Vulkan and OpenGL aren't comparable because Vulkan isn't merely a graphics API, but rather it's a low-level GPU API. For example you can use Vulkan in place of CUDA for running highly parallelized computations on the GPU (no graphics implied).

This is bullshit and it doesn't mean anything. In the days of OpenGL, you used the same initialization code regardless if you were a "professional" or a "hobbyist." Code is code.

It especially doesn't mean anything because people use CUDA for CUDA, and want to use Vulkan for graphics because OpenGL has been discontinued.

housing is much more transparent, people shop around, there are sites to check prices, there are short term solutions, people can spend a few nights at friends and family.

for most of the US healthcare comes from their employers, which is the direct opposite of an efficient market. getting claims validated and actually getting reimbursed or getting treatment is the problem, and the abysmal quality is ... because there's no incentives to have it better, lack of competition and/or oversight (because lack of funding for authorities, no real consequences for providers if they miss deadlines, etc)

I don't think that the Conservative Party will fix this problem. Much like the Liberal Party, the Conservatives are very pro-immigration.

A Conservative government might impose a slight reduction in the rate, to create the appearance of differentiating themselves from the Liberals. I don't think they'd bring it down much beyond that.

I certainly don't see the Conservative Party putting in place the negative immigration rate that's now unfortunately required to deal with the significant economic and social problems Canada is facing. I doubt they'd send home all of the temporary foreign workers, and deport the fake "refugees" who entered from the US, for example.

Even the PPC, which is perhaps the most willing of the broadly mainstream parties to properly deal with this situation, is still calling for an immigration rate of "between 100,000 and 150,000 annually" in its current platform (https://www.thepeoplespartyofcanada.ca/issues/immigration).

I like cycling but I think that removing vehicles entirely from cities is silly. It might be possible but it's not going to be actually better.

I'm imagining strapping 100kg+ of toolboxes to the front of my electric cargo bike. It theoretically is possible. But if someone walks out in front of that it's going to be ugly. The braking systems are nowhere near as good as a car's. If it rains it'll be miserable, I'd put up my rates significantly to compensate and a lot of people would rather just exit the market.

It feels like once you actually account for real things that need to happen like vans carting building materials, you're back where you started except that now everyone needs a license to do the same things they did before in their "personal" vehicles.

If you still have lorries and vans and buses then it feels like a lot of the safety and emission arguments fall apart really.
