No, this is a misunderstanding of what right of way means. Drivers are never allowed to intentionally cause accidents, either with other cars or with pedestrians. If you have right of way in an intersection but a car is nevertheless not yielding to you, you are not allowed to plow into them if you can reasonably avoid it. That doesn't mean that you don't actually have right of way, or that you need to stop at every intersection to make sure that someone is not yielding.

The same is true with pedestrians crossing where they have to yield to cars. It's their responsibility to check that no cars are passing before crossing. At a crosswalk, drivers will slow down if they see a pedestrian heading towards the crossing; they don't need to (and won't) at other places. Of course, if they see a pedestrian in the middle of the road, they are not allowed to hit them, just like they're not allowed to hit a car.

Eventually we all get fired. It shouldn't come as a shock. This is why people working in volatile industries subject to boom/bust cycles should live below their means and keep at least several months of living expenses (including health insurance premiums) in low-risk, liquid investments.

It's not a native app. The main interface where you view your mailboxes, compose new emails, edit settings etc is a web view. The interface doesn't even load if you're offline, let alone your emails. Certainly some parts of the UI are native, but that's true of any web app.
This is a simple problem I have met and dealt with before.

The issue is the lack of synchronization between cancellation and not handling cancel failure.

All cancellations can fail because there is always a race when calling cancel() where the operation completes.

You have two options, synchronous cancel (block until we know if cancel succeded) or async cancel (callback or other notification).

This code simply handles the race incorrectly, no need to think too hard about this.

It may be that some io_uring operations cannot be cancelled, that is a linux limitation. I've also seen there is no async way to close sockets, which is another issue.

Every background service can be listed and disabled if you disable authenticated-root. Hell, you could disable `apsd` and disable all push notifications too, which require a phone home to Apple.

True. I seem to remember that the UI itself did not load when there's no internet connection, but I just tried it, and it does now. So maybe things have changed, or I misremembered.

Elegant architecture, trained from scratch, excels at image editing. This looks very interesting!

From https://arxiv.org/html/2409.11340v1

> Unlike popular diffusion models, OmniGen features a very concise structure, comprising only two main components: a VAE and a transformer model, without any additional encoders.

> OmniGen supports arbitrarily interleaved text and image inputs as conditions to guide image generation, rather than text-only or image-only conditions.

> Additionally, we incorporate several classic computer vision tasks such as human pose estimation, edge detection, and image deblurring, thereby extending the model’s capability boundaries and enhancing its proficiency in complex image generation tasks.

This enables prompts for edits like:
"|image_1| Put a smile face on the note."
or
"The canny edge of the generated picture should look like: |image_1|"

> To train a robust unified model, we construct the first large-scale unified image generation dataset X2I, which unifies various tasks into one format.

I'd add that although I find it a bit dirty, the computers are obviously still amazing. It's just a bit bizarre that the lower spec cpu offers the customer the option to change the ram quantity. More specifically, going from the M4 Pro to the M4 Max removes the option to change the ram from 36gb, whereas sticking with the Pro lets you select 48gb or 24gb, unless you choose the max Max. If I pre-order the Mac Mini with the same processor, I can select 64gb for the insane price of an additional $750cad, but it's just not available on the macbook pro M4 Pro.

It would indeed have been nice to see a faster response rate screen, even though I value picture quality more, and it also would have been nice to see even vaguely different colors like the iMac supposedly got, but it seems like a nice spec bump year anyway.

The question was a hypothetical. What if the macOS VM was perfect? If it was perfect, would it then not matter if you couldn't just boot into macOS?

I'm pretty sure you would never use a Windows PC just to boot into a macOS VM, even if it was flawless. And there are people who would never boot a Mac, just to boot into a Windows VM, even if it was flawless. And no, it's not flawless. Being able to run a relatively old strategy game is not a great demonstration of the ability generally play any random Windows game. I have a Parallels and VMWware Fusion license (well... Had, anyway), and I'm a long time (20 years) Linux user, I promise that I am not talking out my ass when it comes to knowing all about the compromises of interoperability software.

To be clear, I am not trying to tell you that the interoperability software is useless, or that it doesn't work just fine for you. I'm trying to say that in a world where the marketshare of Windows is around 70%, a lot of people depend on software and workflows that only work on Windows. A lot of people buy PCs specifically to play video games, possibly even as a job (creating videos/streaming/competing in esports teams/developing video games and related software) and they don't want additional input latency, lower performance, and worse compatibility.

Even the imperfections of virtual machines aside, some people just don't like macOS. I don't like macOS or Windows at all. I think they are both irritating to use in a way that I find hard to stomach. That doesn't mean that I don't acknowledge the existence of many people who very much rely on their macOS and Windows systems, the software ecosystems of their respective systems, and the workflows that they execute on those systems.

So basically, aside from the imperfections of a virtual machine, the ability to choose to run Windows as your native operating system is really important for the obvious case where it's the operating system you would prefer to run.

It's not often you see this. Netflix used to do this if your equipment wasn't brand new, and with any phone[1]. And the very first startup I worked for let me buy my laptop, desktop, monitor, and cell phone for $50. But you don't see it too often.

[1] There was a "joke" at Netflix that if your manager told you that you should upgrade your phone, it meant you were gonna get let go soon, because sometimes people really did get let go just weeks after getting a new phone, and they got to keep the phone.

We all seem to trust Google and the first search result link is the truth (i guess) yet now they are showing their AI results... are we trusting those the same as the first search result links we have always?

Personally i think those who are concerned about whether it's correct or not are not ones to jump all into new technology yet will when enough of their friends, family and co-workers have done so. There they find that level of trust they seek.

If we have trusted Google all the years then the AI that becomes the most trusted becomes the next Google. Open AI needs to create their own smart devices (phone and or glasses) and with that they could become the next Google. The information GPT provides me seems correct and matches Google's AI. Siri even with 18.1 is still terrible ... just asked it what day is November 9th it forwarded me to a Google search (lame).

I highly recommend privacy.com (not sure if this works in your jurisdiction) but this is how I've been navigating subscriptions for the past few years. I create a new card (privacy.com linked to my bank account) with one click, can set spending limits ect and do this for every subscription I'm not sure I'm going to want to resubscribe too. I can set it as a one time authorization for a certain amount to meet sign-up requirements and then I don't have to worry about forgetting.
I think this is one of those things where the root cause is a social problem rather than a technical one, and trying to use technical solutions is somewhat helpful at best and masking huge issues at worst. If people can't write professionally, then the proper solution is better education, perhaps some education through onboarding in the job, and/or the boss being more flexible when reading. At least the common usage of spell checkers I see don't meaningfully change the tone of the text. The LLM-powered spell checker, akin to a different human writing the email for the employee, is unacceptable. It has perverse incentives and outcomes. Minor touch ups are one thing, but at some point it becomes deception.

Learn AI, unironically
It doesn't really matter whether a locksmith can open your door. With an angle grinder and some patience, anyone can open practically any residential door (as noted by another commenter). The question then simply becomes how expensive it will be to repair everything afterwards -- and all because the battery ran out.
It needs to be repeated until its acknowledged: "risk management" wasn't the reason given for the layoffs.

The explicit reason given was "economic headwinds" and bad organizational structure. If in your role as CEO you have left the company in a poor position to handle normal, cyclical slowdowns then you are a failure. If in your role as CEO you have produced an org chart which burns money and slows progress then you are a failure. You should be replaced. Period.
>ajross has an understanding of the fundamentals of async that is different to withoutboats'.

ajross has an understanding of the fundamentals of async, but a surface level understanding of io-uring and Rust async. It's 100% what is going on, and again, it something I've seen play out 100s of times.

>Rust assumes as part of its model that "state only changes when polled".

This is fundamentally wrong. If you have a surface level understanding of how the Rust state-machine works, you could make this inference, but it's wrong. This premise is wrong, so ajross' mental model is flawed - and withoutboats is at a loss of trying to educate people who get the basic facts wrong and has defaulted to curt expression. And I get it - you see it a lot with academic types when someone with a wikipedia overview of a subject tries to "debate". You either have to do an impromptu of 101 level material that is freely available or you just say "you're wrong". Neither tends to work.

I'm not saying I condone withoutboats' tone, but my comment is really just a funny anecdote because withoutboats engages in this often and I've seen his tone shift from the "try to educate" to the "you're just wrong" over the past 6 years.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-10-16/electric-... | https://archive.today/uJLa4 ("Bloomberg: BYD Is Winning the Global Race to Make Cheaper EVs")

> Last fall in Malta, BYD began selling the Atto 3, an all-electric compact crossover. Strip away the company’s futuristic logo, and it looks almost indistinguishable from other small, sporty SUVs. But inside it’s full of treats, including heated seats in vegan leather and a 360-degree rotating touchscreen. The 60-kilowatt-hour battery gives it a range of 260 miles, enough to circle Malta’s main island twice. And by European standards, it’s inexpensive, at about $28,000. It’s a novelty in Malta. But the real reason BYD is entering the European Union’s tiniest member state? The company’s happy place is emerging markets and countries with no domestic auto industry to defend: “You can basically describe them as a ‘chicken rib market,’ ” says Yu Zhang, the managing director of consulting firm AutoForesight in Shanghai. “All the chicken ribs added up together, it’s more than 10 million cars.”

> After increasing its annual sales in China 15 times over, to 3 million cars in only three years, BYD is now exporting to roughly 95 markets, including 20 new ones this year. The company is building, has recently opened or has announced plans for assembly plants outside China in 10 countries on three continents. The speed and scope of this expansion have caught the global auto industry off guard and triggered protectionist tariffs in the US and EU, where policymakers fear Chinese players such as BYD will, in the words of Elon Musk, “demolish” their domestic automakers.
No doomscrolling at all. Even when switching between home screens is like it's dropping frames left and right (it's not of course, but that's what it looks like coming from 120Hz). A Galaxy A54 that we still have in the house that was just over 300 Euro feels much smoother than my old iPhone 15 that cost close to 1000 Euro because it has a 120Hz screen.

Even 90Hz (like on some Pixels) is substantially better than the iPhone's 60Hz.

Integrating an LTE modem into an iPad requires a mobile data plan, and thats about it. It's not "tethered" if its built into the device.

I've always heard that patent disputes were at the root of the lack of a modem option. Apple had a prototype MacBook Pro back in the early Intel days IIRC but it was never released.

Maybe if Apple ever gets their in-house modems working, we'll see them on all of the product lines, but until then, it's a niche use case that likely isn't causing them to lose a ton of sales.
