This is a standard “commoditize your complement” play. It’s in GitHub / Microsoft’s best interest to make sure none of the LLMs become dominant.

As long as that happens, their competitors light money on fire to build the model while GitHub continues to build / defend its monopoly position.

Also, given that there are already multiple companies building decent models, it’s a pretty safe bet Microsoft could build their own in a year or two if the market starts settling on one that’s a strategic threat.

The link between saturated fat and LDL cholesterol is extremely clear. Far from coming from low-quality studies, the relationship has been observed in RCT metabolic ward studies. The best data you can get on the acute effects of diet and we are talking hundreds of these experiments all observing the same relationship.

Does high LDL cause heart disease? That is probably less clear, I am not a scientist, so I really don't know what the latest is on this. LDL is present in Atherosclerotic plaques so it's not crazy to think it plays a role. If I was to guess, as a complete non-expert, low-fiber intake and inflammation probably play a role in turn LDL into atherosclerosis.
You could use an USB C power bank, because it seems to be usb-c powered
I use dual 27" 144kHz 4K monitors and am mostly pretty happy with my setup though I have considered moving to an Ultra Wide curved monitor, I'm just not sure if the OCD side of me would be bothered by the curvature.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, one of the advantages of using physically distinct monitors is that it's easier to send things into a full screen mode without affecting the other displays - I guess apps that support "borderless windows" are less of an issue.

Maybe there's some type of cross platform (Mac, Lennox, Windows) virtual display driver software that can allow you to create "picture in picture" virtualized monitors though?
Help me understand the $500 starting price? I see $1250 starting price on pre-orders from the education store.
I have a M1 mini, didn't want to upgrade before. This one might be a big enough bump that I'm seriously considering it.
I only understand Salesforce in that they purchase any successful company they can, and take what seems like 30 minutes of effort for each acquisition to integrate it with the rest of their businesses in a sensible, synergistic way.

The original Salesforce, people now call SFDC (Salesforce Dot Com) which as you know is a CRM but more broadly speaking, a database backend & a GUI, with a construction kit to let ~customers~ Salesforce Consultants model and build simple tooling for business processes of any kind.

They have snapped up various companies like ExactTarget (bulk email), Demandware (aka SFCC, probably what's being discussed here), Heroku, and Slack.

I assume the main synergy is just of the business kind. You can include Slack in a big overall Salesforce "deal" and have one big (steak dinners and alcohol-style) contract negotiation.

And honestly even though I teased above about the lack of integration or consistency (it took like 10 years for one to be able to even log into ET with Salesforce creds), I'm glad that they don't really do anything to their acquisitions to integrate them, since I have no desire to have any integration between say, Slack, and our bulk emailing platform, and anything like that would surely make Slack worse.
The path example is extremely fertile ground for this kind of discussion! It is definitely true that both paths encode the information that one's house is connected to the local store. But is that all they encode? Homotopy theory is all about the different paths between two points, and it tells us some quite interesting things! In particular, if you have two paths from point A to point B, you can ask: can you smoothly animate an image of the first path into an image of the second, such that every still frame in-between is also a legitimate path? (If you can't, that tells you that there's some form of hole in between them!)

In the house/store example, a path is also a witness to the fact that, if you perform a road closure anywhere not on the path, then connectivity is preserved. Simply stating that the two points are connected doesn't tell you whether it's safe to close a road! Moreover, taking the two paths together tells you that performing a single road closure that only affects one of the paths will still leave a route you can take.

In both examples, if the paths were logically interchangeable, you wouldn't be able to get more information out of the both of them than you could from just one. But because they aren't equivalent -- because each contains some information that the other does not -- we can deduce more from both together than from either individually.
So, do you think that when the Mac Studio gets upgraded, it will also come with less max RAM, but be unified?

Is the whole "unified" RAM a reason that the iMac and Mini are capped at 32G?
The proposal makes no mention of "essential goods during emergencies or times of crisis". It's specifically about giving the FTC and attorney generals the ability to investigate prices and hand out penalties.

Got to cut deals before the AI bust pops, VC money and interest vanishes and interest rates go up.

Also diversifying is always a good option. Even if one cash cow gets nuked from orbit, you have 2 other companies to latch onto
Calling lawn signs and bumper stickers "public discourse" is a stretch. Moreover, isn't the whole point of bumper stickers and lawn signs that you want to tell everyone what your positions are? The expectation that you'd want to tell everyone what your political beliefs are except the government and evil corporations is absurd.
Well, usually.

Our doorbell, which was non-functional from when we moved in until we moved out eight years later, and which we were always planning to fix 'next week', is a good counterexample.

Not that we'd get mad at people for ringing the doorbell, but we were very glad that people usually figured out they had to knock.
PCIe is a serial interface, not parallel like modern DRAM interfaces. They're completely different at a hardware level, the electrical design constraints are completely different, the latency characteristics are completely different. I think you are just throwing words and numbers out and don't really know what they mean at all.
I think the reason here is that Copilot is very very obviously inferior to Cursor, mostly because the model at its core is pretty dumb.
FWIW, the original author has no intentions improving it, so a mutual friend kind of took over its development: https://zolk3ri.name/cgit/schachtmeister2/
Their website is this one though. :)

No, the problem isn't the hash. It does what it was designed to do. It's just that it was optimal for a particular use case that fits the Linux kernel better than Microsoft's use case. Switching the hash wouldn't improve either situation. If you want to understand this deeper, see the linked PRs.
Inertia doesn't exist? Wow that's hard to visualize. Perhaps the world does converge on cellular automata as you zoom in
The limiting factor is all the use cases that have not been invented yet. Screen sharing would have never been a thing if we started out with Wayland-like restrictions.
> No support for punycode domains

Really? I tested with a punycode domain on regex101 and it worked fine, do you mean that it only works with ones already converted to punycode?
It's also something you do once, and don't have to repeat every year. You could have registered as a Democrat when you were 18, and never bothered to change your affiliation.

Putting a sign outside of your house is something you have to actively do.
IMHO it's not as NUC style mini PCs with x86-64 CPUs from AMD and intel are really cheap and the 256Gb storage is way too small making the "real" price $200 higher for any sort of moderate usage.
Yeah, the chargers build-out was done a bit too poorly.

Really needed to subsidize / give a premium per kwh dispersed at a charger instead of just paying them to make them. The current incentives meant we got a ton of chargers but not that they stayed in working order which is pretty much the worse situation. It's better to know that the few chargers work than have many options to charge at but not know if they work (or they work poorly).
My Dell monitor has a picture-by-picture mode which works very well to simulate 2 distinct displays. Each side uses its own video input. Many higher end monitors can do this, unsure how many TVs can.
You can create markdown files containing all the planning you did and Cursor will have all of that as context to give you better suggestions. This type of prompting is what gives amazing results - not just relying on out of the box magic, which I think a lot of people are expecting.
What do you do in athletics? Do you tell the kids (graveyard shift) they aren't allowed to participate in sports anymore because they can't compete with the big leagues (peak hours)?

Probably not. More likely you would look at the different leagues individually. I'm surprised this idea is novel to you.
1. Add tooltips to the top icons
2. Support SVG output
Oh very cool.

Would it be crazy to try and connect it to Gazebo?
I see no reason why GitHub wouldn’t use fine tuned models from google or anthropic.

I think their version of gpt-3.5 was a fine tune as well. I doubt they had a whole model from scratch made just for them.
You started a flame war. So let me just say that I exclusively use a fountain pen to write. That handwriting is a lot better. But when writing digitally for teaching or meetings, I use a wacom tablet. That is pretty bad for writing.

> make a list of everything you can infer without a cert looking on a ssl connection

This exactly, and not just connection but connections, plural. If the network observes my encrypted connection to ocsp.apple.com followed by another encrypted connection to adobegenuine.com, an analyst could reasonably assume I'd just opened an Adobe Creative Suite app. Or if they see ocsp.apple.com followed by update.code.visualstudio.com, I probably just opened VSCode. Auto-updaters are the same kind of privacy scourge and every additional connection makes it worse.

Windy.com offers ECMWF-AIFS models to paid subscribers. ECMWF seems to be all-in on the ML-based, as opposed to physical, NWP, but it's not clear ML approaches are superior.
That’s for the model with the M4 Pro chip.

Mac mini with M4 starts at $599 (U.S.) and $499 (U.S.) for education.

Mac mini with M4 Pro starts at $1,399 (U.S.) and $1,299 (U.S.) for education.
Sounds like a speedrun for angry feedback. Maybe find threads discussing problems with ROS, then post in those threads
Is there a good performance benchmark website/channel for Mac hardware? (Once reviewers get their hands on the hardware)

I'm trying to decide if I should get the Pro or the base model mini. I've been learning Swift and Metal using an old work Macbook and I want to get my own hardware. The only games I play recently at Factorio and Baldur's Gate 3, so I was thinking perhaps I should get the Pro and not bother upgrading my desktop (an i7 6700k from 2015).
The issue with the text rendering would frustrate me a lot.

And if the solution is to sit further away, why not just get a smaller screen and sit closer?
Please refrain from using the term "stdlib", it has a specific meaning and I have trouble understanding what do you mean by it.

Are you referring to the native GUI toolkit of a platform (e.g. Winforms, Cocoa) or something else?
When I just spent years and thousands of dollars for a software programming degree and their slogan is "No software", why would I bother wasting time applying to work for them?
The speed with which AI models are improving blows my mind. Humans quickly normalize technological progress, but it's staggering to reflect on our progress over just these two years.
Interesting. Humans love memetic patterns so much we’re like chickens with lines drawn in front. We can’t help but say the thing. Like the Nam Shub of Enki it’s entered our minds and now reproduces in all sorts of contexts.

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish we say now without thought. The virus breaks containment. Like fungus on an ant it makes us summit and then spew it forth on others - self—modifying to maximize life span.

What a creature, the meme.
> And people still support it by uploading to GitHub.

It’s slowly, but noticeably moving from GitHub to other sites.

The network effect is hard to work against.
Which do you prefer?

Internet where you send a packet over the wire and the network takes it and delivers it per RFC. Basically OG Internet. Network of networks of more or less trusted peers.

Or Internet where you need to requisition every connection/circuit be provisined before it is routed, which includes explaining why you need the service, and where any provider in the chain will deny you transit by default? You now must forge an intimate relationship with every middle box between you and the other endpoint. This process must be repeated by everyone on the network. Just operating as a middle box for someone else is now fraught with legal liability; as anything one of your transit's end up doing, you are now considered complicit in.

Both of these architectures of an Internet are equally valid and functional. The society that uses them however is completely different.

I prefer the former, warts and all, and lack of throat to throttle short of the asshat running the software on the other end, over the latter, because with the former at least, we're not creating power nexii to attract asshats to NetOps positions.

With the latter setup, sure, your spam problem has an ostensibly way higher barrier to entry in the form of having to create human trust networks, but the accretion of social power distinctly changes the culture of the net sector, attracting a type of personality that should never, ever be trusted to be given a yay/nay authority over other folks access to a network.
Thank you, those are both very good suggestions I will look into!
Sunk cost fallacy :).

Then when the SF contract isn’t renewed, you get to spend another 2-3 years ripping it out, migrating out data, re-writing contracts with other vendors.

Future work is guaranteed
Does any one else have mouse lag with giant high pixel density monitors?
Is IPv6 fixing such cases by design or it's not changing anything ?
It's the users job to provide the context the LLM needs in plain language instruction. Not just relying on the LLM to magically understand everything based on the codebase.
I wish people would stop posting Bloomberg paywall links.
I think the "strong sense of up and down" is mostly just how it was filmed. The camera is held at head height (vs locating cameras in the middle of the module), and the taikonauts are holding their bodies straight and upright, keeping their feet on the floor almost all the time (vs floating and flying).

The ISS does also have a sense of up and down, with lights always located on the ceiling. The ISS even has labels for overhead, deck, port, and starboard.
This is something I've wanted to do for a while! I wish Samsung still produced their 55" 8K displays-- 8k @ 55" gives you effectively the same PPI as a 27" 4K display. Maybe someday.
My mistake! I was looking at M4 iMac pricing. So you still need a monitor on top of the $500 price, but that is a good entry point.
That's great. If you regularly fire the barista who brings in the least amount of money then you will find that nobody sane will take the slower shifts.

Because how much money a barista brings in is mostly a factor of how busy the coffeeshop is. Which is largely a factor of what time the clock shows, and that's not something a barista will be able to influence. (baring circumstances where a barista is so incompetent that costumers walk out of the shop.)
USB-C monitors with a bunch of A ports (so, not from Apple) are pretty handy if that's important to you.
32" Odyssey G7 is the pick for me, I wouldn't mind an upgrade to the 4k version, but the 1440p version is more than good enough.

I also don't see the point in having a screen so big I have to move my head, or contrarily a screen so big that I have to push it back so the pixel density matters much less.
30” flat screen at normal desktop viewing distance seems to be my personal limit, too.
The linked article suggests yabai.
The days where this actually matters is going away. Your opinion is but a tiny minority, for the vast majority it does not matter. $200-800 for a tool that generates an enormous amount of value is incredible, no desire to upgrade it myself. I think about how rarely a PC gaming computer needs to be upgraded these days, by the time it happens its usually a complete overhaul because there is a CPU, Mobo upgrade required.
I just tried it, it only recovered a few MB
I’d say the evidence on LDL and atherosclerosis is even clearer than the SFA evidence. The EAS consensus paper is really good, I’d recommend giving it a read: https://academic.oup.com/eurheartj/article/38/32/2459/374510...
In what way is it not legitimate? It's not an accident, bug or data corruption. Someone put it there for a reason, and it benefits their use case. That's as legitimate as it gets.
I mean, there is no need to speculate about any of this, they've put out a number of articles that outline their whole approach. I'm not really sure where the ambiguity lies?
It’s different from person to person!, whether the curve is good or not.

I have a ruler flat 55” OLED TV as main monitor. It’s perfect for me. I’m like… 1-1.5 meters from it where I’m closest to it, haha. The edges are further away. It’s fine! – imo / ime.

(The need for the curve is also subtly different depending on how the panel was made. I tried a flat 43” IPS 4K monitor, expecting IPS to be good. And it wasn’t very good. The IPS features in that panel were large enough to affect viewing angle.)
Most people don't want promotion
Is this sarcasm? The entire point is autocracy doesn't allow the people to choose for themselves. The autocrat does. The autocrat likes beer but not weed, so one is a good time and the other a death sentence.
Many people have told me that. You're right!

Thanks for your feedback
I replaced ChatGPT Plus with hosted nvidia/Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B-Instruct for coding tasks. Nemotron produces good code. The cost different is massive. Nemotron is available for $0.35 per Mtoken in and out. ChatGPT is considerably more expensive.
Red Rising is often recommended in lists such as this, and that is how I discovered it too. Worth noting though that the 3/4 of the first book is Hunger Games on Mars, with barely any significance to the plot started in the first part of the book.
The biggest problem I see is ergonomics.

The proper monitor height is when the top third of the screen is at or slightly below your eye level when seated or standing upright. This positioning helps prevent neck strain and allows for a comfortable viewing angle.

The top third of a large TV will be much higher than that, which will cause long term discomfort.

That's why large monitors have much wider aspect than TVs.
A colleague of mine studied physiology and anatomy at McGill University likely in the 1970s. She said the cadavers were mainly unclaimed bodies of homeless people from the city of Montreal. The rule was that all work was to be done in the university labs, but she said students often snuck body parts out to conduct dissection work after hours in their dorm rooms. A lot has changed in the field, but it wasn't that long ago that we treated the dead like a tool.
As a fairly muscular guy who has dealt with overweight for more than two decades, I wholeheartedly agree. Half an hour of weightlifting burns like 120 calories, about two corn tortillas. It's stupid how efficient the body is at extracting energy from food.

I've also accepted that changes in activity strongly influence your health, and changes in eating strongly influence your weight.
The debauched posh are back: Drink, drugs and the new class divide
Salesforce has been on a buying spree over the last 10 years.[0] Not only do they have have that CRM, they bought ExactTarget, an email marketing system, now Marketing Cloud. They bought Demandware and CloudCraze for their B2C and B2B storefront platforms. And don't forget Chat Cloud, I mean, Slack.

Ryzen mini pcs seem to beat this in most of scenarios. Does anyone see clear advantages?

I haven’t figured out the trick to make OSX use the entire screen on PBP mode. I just get two little screens.
CRUD doesn't mean CRUD all the things. If your use case requires it, you can build a create-only environment where you never delete anything.
I've been using 42" 4K TVs as my monitor for like 10 years now. 2 years ago I upgraded to an OLED LG A1 and it has been amazing.

https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/a1-oled

For anyone using a TV I recommend using https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay to properly scale the display.
or maybe also everything has become politicized
From experience with a 55” 4K OLED as main monitor, I can attest that the length if the caveat list is not indicative of the total impact of the caveats. It’s more an indication of a thoughtful and thorough person writing the list.
As weird as the aspect ratio can be on a curved ultrawide, I think it's also more natural and ergonomic to keep your head/eyes at a constant height and just move them side to side. With a monitor that has a lot of verticality you're gonna have to tilt your neck back more.
It would be great to make good flutter support for embedded devices
I thought PHM was a fairly well crafted nerdy action book, like a classic B-movie catered to a more educated audience. It's good at tuning itself to its target audience and maintaining interest with pacing and interesting, fun ideas.

What's frustrating is the number of people that list it as the best sci-fi of the last decade and try to elevate it as doing something truly groundbreaking. I don't really understand where that's coming from.
