I was originally a huge fan of dropbox, and still a customer, though reluctantly these days.

Dropbox has fallen so far behind many other companies. Google photos search is amazing, it merges people even if they don't have contacts, it has really good image recognition, it has some sorting/ordering amongst many various dimensions.

Why can't I make small edits to text files in dropbox? Why haven't they added any useful apps?

Why are they not the best photo organizer/searching system?
If you pay cash for a house and put 60% more in an annuity, you cover the total costs. Not cheap though.
> And it's going to get darker earlier in winter.

It's summer we're talking about when we talk about DST. There's no DST in the winter.

> School kids waiting for the bus are safer, kids walking to school way safer.

For several months in the summer, the schools are closed. Other months during DST, the schools start at 08h00 and the vast majority of the kids wake up about seven-ish, to leave their house at about 07h30. It is inconsequential for the kids whether the sun has risen at 06h30 or at 05h30 that day; when they wake up, there's light outside anyway.

For the rest, let me give you an analogy. For several months this coming summer, I am going to give out an hour of free internet[0] each day. This won't interfere with the (paid) one that people are having otherwise. I'm not going to ask the question "would you prefer this hour to be between 05h30 and 06h30, or between 18h30 and 19h30?" but I am going to ask this question instead: What would the majority prefer, in your opinion?

[0] - any useful utility can be substituted: free hour of water, free hour of electricity, etc.
How do you know any information you get from a source that you can’t personally and independently verify is correct? How do we know a tourist guide book is correct? How do we know our language dictionary is correct? You don’t. People will need to learn to what degree they can actually trust a given source of information and decide how much the risk is worth taking. We do this all the time today, and every time new technology comes along there’s always an adjustment period as we sort out the boundaries of trust (see also people driving off roads and into ponds when GPS was new). The danger to me is not that it can be wrong, it’s that people don’t yet understand it can be wrong. That’s not helped by AI boosters trying to use AI in inappropriate ways and situations, but it’s also not helped by AI doomers that treat every failing of the new technology as proof it’s worthless and will never be useful. Both extremes are speed running a “boy who cried wolf” scenario for losing public trust in what they have to say.

That is a good question. They sell those CPUs to industrial clients. Note cases can be configured to be completely sealed for high-dust environments, and it is also possible to get industrial motherboards with connections that no regular user needs. The fanless market has a pretty good niche in factory deployments. There, lots of software is designed to run 24/7 on cheap CPUs.

Mac Minis, and in general most Apple products, tend to offer great value in the lowest configuration. But upgrades are expensive. It is a bit of the opposite situation. I have not used Macs for very long, and I prefer Linux, yet the cheapest Mini looks quite appealing. When Intel Core 2 CPUs entered the laptop market, it was a similar situation. The cheapest MacBooks offered really great value compared to competition.
A TCP connection to the IMAP server is kept open, with the server sending a packet whenever anything interesting happens (see IMAP IDLE), waking up the client app. This is how all push notifications work nowadays, IIRC, since you can't send information directly to clients without a persistent connection, due to NAT.
These are exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks!

That doesn't mean the Rust project promise no one will write a library that is not safe...

The title of this submission is aimed specifically at "Async Rust", ie the language. The reality is that one third-party library with 4k stars on GitHub and 0.2.4 version number has a non-memory-unsafe leak.

I'd say the title is a full-on lie.

In your experience for sure, myself and everyone I know with a desktop upgrades bit by bit where they can. My recent one was 16->32gb ram, even cheaper now since it's only ddr4.

Tho the next will likely be a full upgrade as my last main build was 2018 with the mini-itx I still have. But if I want to do more ai stuff I'll probably need to hop up to m-atx or even just atx. 1080ti I'm currently on was the last before the era of sanely sized gpus came to an abrupt end

Fair enough. Though I didnt live during kerosene times. My tea kettle uses 0.06kWh per session. So one to two weeks of tea for me to reach the energy of a day on such a monitor (see other comment on best guesses on energy use of this monitor). On the other hand, a typical pasta recipe on an electric stove would be 2kWh, so several days of use of such a monitor.
It would make more sense to discontinue the smaller model along with some other updates to the line. Or in other words, Air won't receive any other updates this week unfortunately.
It absolutely says a company is done innovating, and shouldn't expect any large growth from now on.

Sarcasm is bad. It would have been fine to say "I think there is a social contract of it being acceptable to lay off workers making 400k".
Not entirely. Right-on-red is by default illegal in NYC, and will be soon in DC and Atlanta.

Also a good number of states prohibit right-on-red by default when the red light is in the shape of an arrow.
Vegetables don't have seeds on the outside, and strawberries don't have that anyways. Each "seed" on the outside of a strawberry is actually a fruit that contains a single seed. If you look carefully with a magnifying glass or something similar, you can often still see the female parts of the flower (pistil) sticking up from each "seed." The fleshy and sweet part of a strawberry originates as part of the flower called the receptacle. It sits below the ovaries of the flower. In strawberries, the receptacle is cone shaped, probably an adaptation to increase access by pollinators. After pollination, this part of the flower swells up and becomes the strawberry that you are familiar with :) The little ring of green leaves at the top of of a strawberry are the sepals of the flower it originated from.

> Are you saying we should build nuclear now because we didn't then?

No, that would be a large comprehension error. I'm making the point because people seem to use what solar and wind can finally do now to justify us not having built nuclear 40 years ago.
A name like llama-pr-review might help with searching for this thing. Preview being an actual word and all.
iirc it is posix (but single user). I once 'ported' one of the xscreensavers (Galaxy - it only need to draw a single pixel) to the screensaver framework that became the defacto standard at the time and I got rc to compile (and run!).

I was hampered by only having access to the included C compiler which limited binaries to 65k.
If you go by the wtf-ness of the comments on a tz, Asia/Riyadh has gotta be up there. But contemporarily it behaves as `<+03>-3`, which is vanilla.
I'm not sure why it doesn't work offline, then. The UI refuses to load at all if I don't have an internet connection.

Native fingerprint auth can be implemented on top of a webapp; that isn't evidence either way.
> This is so funny to see, and great to see said, because for decades I ran into nuclear proponents (not engineers or workers, just people into the politics) that said that nuclear was the "only" way to combat climate change

The argument that the grid should be 100% nuclear was never really viable. To make it work you would need nuclear to be cheap, so it could be overbuilt to cover hourly and seasonal variation in load.

That's theoretically possible, a nuclear reactor is basically a box of hot rocks used to make steam. Large reactors use turbines because they're more efficient, but you can also use steam to run a piston engine and then your cost is approximately the same as a diesel generator only you don't have to buy diesel, just exchange the box of hot rocks for a new one every decade or two. The regulatory environment is not such that this is a thing, however, and then overbuilding nuclear is too expensive.

But that's assuming you want to replace the whole grid with nuclear. Any proposal to replace the whole grid with a single generation technology is naive, because the premise would have to be that it's better than all other forms of generation in all contexts. Which isn't true for anything.

The big advantage of solar is that it's cheap, if you don't care about consistency -- and sometimes you don't. Solar is great for charging electric cars because they have built-in batteries and then the intermittency doesn't matter. It's pretty good for air conditioning load because that tracks solar output pretty closely. Nuclear is not going to be competitive for those things.

But the reverse is true as well. You want to use solar to drive heat pumps at night in winter in regions far from the equator? That's a bad fit, and so is anything else with intermittent power output because if the power goes out people freeze to death.

The answer is to build nuclear reactors to power heat pumps and provide cogeneration and build solar to charge electric cars and run air conditioners, instead of trying to do everything with one technology.
Except if we had wanted to be green energy in the 1980s, we would have given Carter a second term which means we would have had investment in Solar panels too. We would have likely seen a similar level of massive decrease in cost (not as big though, no chinese manufacturing) to make it pretty competitive.

But America didn't want to do the hard work of spending a hundred billion dollars on infrastructure and investment to our country. We wanted the cocaine fueled orgy of capitalism that Reagan promised us. So we ripped the solar panels off of the whitehouse and shared a bed with Saudi Arabia. Now gas is cheap as chips so we can just burn as much as we want!

Which one is save to clipboard and which one is save to disk? Who knows.

And then there is inconsistency. You're in Finder, where 'return/enter' (for some reason) invokes file rename. Cmd+O to open.

> A single click on its Dock icon does the trick.

Some of us take it personally if we cannot do everything using only the keyboard.

I use a Mac now (because Windows + Windows admins always manage to mess up something and ny current employer doesn't support Linux as wholeheartedly as my last one) and I like it a lot better than last time I used a Mac back in 2009 - 2012 but there is no doubt in my mind that classic Windows UX and several Linux DEs (while not as polished) have much better UX for keyboard people like me.

And yes:

I have used almost every mainstream desktop environment from 1994 - now (except versions of Mac before 2009 and between 2009 and until somewhere a couple of years ago).

That's true, but the same can be said about a large percentage of office workers.
The positive value is from goods shipped. It's not from goods shipped with gasoline. That's why you tax the gasoline, and not the shipping. Shipping companies will move to EV trucks or synthetic gasoline or hydrogen or carbon credits or whatever and goods will still be shipped, just without the gasoline. At least in the steady state after the market optimizes.
In my marriage i have been slowly trying to move my birthday back one day at a time. After 3 years of effort ive successfully moved it back 1 day and my spouse still gets confused if its 1 or 2 days later, all due to my active efforts. I dont believe anyone should do this in a marriage, but they could!
The problem is the driver is likely looking to the left to see if it's safe to quickly pull out and not bother looking to their right for that pedestrian stepping out into the intersection.

It doesn't indirectly belong to share holders, it directly does.

Memory doesn't need to be freed until a different software needs it.
You need to know the used methods to review either way (when you really review code, which is not done by most people). You need to read the doc either way. At that point you could just write the code yourself. And as many examples showed (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41307387), it’s not even that quick.
If the roles were reversed would you still need an explanation? e.g. If I could run macOS inside of a VM on Windows and run things like Final Cut and XCode with sufficient performance, would you think there's no benefit to being able to boot macOS natively?

If the leadership mistakes lead to the loss of livelihood and healthcare of thousands of employees because of their mistakes, yes, they should be included in the firings, or strongly considered for them - more so than any of the people getting laid off who made no mistakes, except working for a bad leader.
Or just buy the actual Apple adapter from any number of other vendors. Best Buy still has plenty in stock, for instance.

I'd guess the GPs actual problem is lint in the Lightning port though. Pretty common, relatively easy to clean out too, especially compared to USB-C.
We aren’t talking in the context of the company though. The gp comment said it’s not an apples to apples comparison to say a CEO makes 100x an employee because CEO’s compensation is stock.

If the CEO’s stock compensation has a monetary value of $100 and the employees salary is $1, it absolutely is fair to say the CEO is compensated 100x the employee, regardless of it is stock or cash. The CEO can borrow against this and use it as effectively cash, if they are unable or do not want to exercise the options. This is such an insanely common practice and absurdly pedantic argument that I wonder why we’re even having it. Does the distinction matter? Of course it does not.

If you're comfy with a bit of code and there's a nagging thing you wish you could change on your Mac, Hammerspoon (https://www.hammerspoon.org/) is a great tool.

For example, I use it to add a shortcut that completely hides or shows Zoom's on screen controls while sreen-sharing, but in a way they don't pop up again if you press ESC (I'm a developer, so ESC is kinda a necessary key).

This one looks polished, if the nag it's bothering you is covered.

The other issue is Pascal cards don't have tensor cores, so there much slower than those with them. You could try Unsloth for 2x faster llama fine-tuning - someone made P40s and P100s work. Although I would suggest upgrading to at least RTX 20x series.

This means the virus has now mutated enough that it was able to jump from cow or another source to pig which is not good news. Pigs are mixing chambers for this sort of thing where flus become fitter for human hosts.

This one is going to do damage if it becomes more fit. It is almost 100% lethal to ferrets due to central nervous system issues. Ferrets like mink have similar respiratory systems to humans.

We are not ferrets, but if it starts spreading it would be wise to not automatically assume that it can just be ignored. Most people already have damaged immune systems due to SARS2 and you've all heard of the idiom of the straw and the camel's back.
> Again: It's unbelievable that someone (like this) would be using an LLM to compose an email to their boss for the first time.

There's always a first time.

> He's a lazy fuck office stiff (yet still manages to warrant an iMac desktop), you're telling me he's just now starting to use an LLM to compose emails?

I know plenty of "lazy fuck" people not yet using LLMs. Having it built in to the device is likely to change that.

> Even the bastion of pretentious journalism Fast Company has this headline: "In Apple’s new ads for AI tools, we’re all total idiots"

That's fairly standard for ads. Cleaning supplies are sold on a "so easy dads can use it" sort of basis. Prepared food is sold on a "because you can't cook, obviously" basis. etc. I have managers at work who ask me to write client emails for them, even, because I'm a pretty good writer.

> If you're intuitive enough to conclude that an otherwise inarticulate douchebag probably used an LLM to compose an email, why would you "pretend" to be confused?

The actor is pretending. The character is shocked - for comic effect - that such a nice email came from someone who never sends professional ones. In the real world the response is obviously more likely to be "ah, they used ChatGPT this time", but if you expect realism in ads...

This really isn't as complicated to understand as you're making it.
Yes, you could buy a brand new (announced weeks ago) AMD Turin. 12 channels of DDR5-6000, $11,048 and 320 watts (for the CPU) and get 576GB/sec peak.

Or you could buy a M3 max laptop for $4k, get 10+ hour battery life, have it fit in a thin/light laptop, and still get 546GB/sec. However those are peak numbers. Apple uses longer cache lines (double), large page sizes (quadruple), and a looser memory model. Generally I'd expect nearly every memory bandwidth measure to win on Apple over AMD's turin.

If you group emissions sufficiently finely, no single measure has any effect. We need to do hundreds of little changes to reach carbon neutrality. The discussion what to prioritize is not easy, but dismissing things just because they only contribute x% is not helpful.
