YouTube videos are already infested with insufferable AI elevator background "music". Even some channels that were previously good are using it.

On the bright side, you can stop watching these channels and have more time for serious things.
The legs do seem like a huge overcomplication. I can't think of many situations where they would be worth the added cost/complexity (compared to simple wheels). Sure they can walk stairs, but a place that employs freaking robots could easily make it robot accessible too, it would seem.
I agree with you about not needing to upgrade but, it still stands that IMHO Apple is better off with upgrading or even having the need to upgrade with competition. (Also it's really good that Macs now have 16GB of ram by default). As I have had my M1 14.2 Max I believe that the only reason I would want to upgrade is that I can configure it with 128GB of ram which allows you to load newer AI models on device.

The MacBook Pro seems like it does have some quality of life improvements such as Thunderbolt 5, the camera is now a center stage (follows you) 14 megapixel camera now all of them have three USB-C ports and the battery life claims of 22-24 hours. Regardless if you want a MacBook Pro and you don't have one there is now an argument on not just going to buy the previous model.
I'd love to see stats on disfluency rate in conversation, podcasts, and this sample to get an idea of where it lies. It seems like they could have cranked it up, but there's also the chance that it's just the frequency illusion because we were primed to pay attention to it.
I tried that, unfortunately didn't work for me at all.
Totally agree there. Chances are they'll be better served with a marketplace plan unless they've got a complicated health situation/very specific care that might be questionablly covered without thoroughly shopping around.

I'm just pushing back at the idea someone can go from making six figures and turn around and hop on Medicaid. It's not that simple. It should be IMO, but it isn't.
Right mate
Anyone remember PowerToys for Windows 95? This remind me of that. Advanced features that were there that just needed to be exposed.

Of course in this case it's not from Apple itself, but still a great idea!
I was responding to this

> I'll upend your life instead

$125,000 of severance for high-salary employees that have large retirement accounts isn't "upending" their lives. Complaints about a severance package like that belong in the same bin as billionaires complaining about paying taxes.
Stop repeating Apple's marketing BS that their SSDs are magically faster, especially since Apple do not manufacture them.

Look up and understand how the hardware works first before you shill Apple's stuff.
I'll have to give this a shot. I switched from a windows machine to a Mac for a better dev experience on my personal projects, but I miss a lot of the windows file explorer shortcuts
I wish Apple would let me max out the RAM on a lower performance chip. That’s more valuable to me than more compute.
Yes, crossing at intersections is much more complex, with traffic typically coming from many more directions than away from intersections.
I appreciate the reasonable rules for regulating AI vs the moral panic attempts at regulation for the sole purpose of regulatory capture that companies in the US have called for.
So a git log?
I'm hoping it will be a lot of Ok Guv'ner and right you ares in the style of Dick Van Dyke.
I can't remember the last time that less than a couple of months have passed between the start of applying for a position until I got word that I was hired.

However, 7+ meetings in that time? I've never experienced that and I wouldn't be willing to put up with it (which might be why I never experienced it). But that's a matter of temperament, so YMMV.
Where I live, just about all of the downtown streets are one-ways and it does wonders for getting around both on foot and in an automobile. Though the latter will be more punishing if you don't know the lay of the land, and there will be congestion near on-ramps during rush hour.
Photoshop (requires Adobe Creative Cloud) -> Photopea & Gimp
IIRC brew supports linux, but it isn't a package manager I pay attention to outside of some very basic needs. Way too much supply chain security domain to cover for it!
If you're still under AppleCare+, definitely give it a try before it expires.

Personal anecdote: don't get your hopes up. I've had my issues rejected as 'no fault found', but it's definitely worth spending a bit of time on.
Yes, the main goal is to be easier on the eyes IMO.

It's easier to read on it.
Good.

Oh and “unborn” babies is a weird term for fetus that is a politically loaded term… and is as much logical sense as calling the living “undead” or “unburied”
As someone who has worked for less than $40,000 a year, and someone who now makes more than the average pay of someone at DropBox--I'm not sure it's a useful conversation to say "Hey, someone else has it worse." Yes, it'd suck to be a laid-off staff member of a university making $40,000. It also sucks to be a laid-off cashier at a grocery store making $16,500.

This talk of money also ignores the negative effects on mental health from being laid-off.

But the most important point here is that a CEO making an obscene amount of money takes "full responsibility" and... still gets paid an obscene amount of money. Easy to take responsibility if you have 0 consequences.
So like ISO, then.

Which is not an acronym, btw, it's just styled in all caps, and is to be pronounced "iso" rather than "eye-ess-oh".
Surely fixable by the server checking for visibility of the shadow as well? I don’t know Valorant but I assume that could actually become a strategic element to not hide with a light source at your back.
I've had a couple of Tiger Lake laptops, a Thinkpad and I believe my Surface Laptop 4. Based on my experience with current AMD mobile chipsets, I can only imagine the Strix Halo will be quite a massive uplift for you even if the generational improvements aren't impressive.
> Unminimizes an app’s windows when activated

Does it mean I can bring back 1password with 1 click instead of 3? (If I forget MacOS is stupid and minimise it) That would be amazing!
That is the current orthodoxy, yes.

Whether in the long term this is net-beneficial for a given actor in the typical case, is at best unclear. This marginal-labor-cost/benefit-in-a-given-moment accounting misses a large proportion of the harmful effects of a layoff.

When a bunch of companies in one sector do it, it does lower wages and reduce labor power to e.g. demand better working conditions. That part, is a benefit for companies. But it's not the result of one company doing what's best for their particular situation—it's a result of coordination, even if only by the understanding that "this is what you do, when there's an excuse to, and especially when you see others doing it". It's merely best practice then, not... collusion.
How would a true push (and not poll) method work, if all you have is the local thunderbird client? If I had to guess, the question from the other person is not related to mail poll/push stuff

Usually you rely on a server telling the mobile app that there's something new to poll (or the message is directly sent and displayed).
so we can save daylight? some sort of time where we save the light of day? Possibly by shift our clocks? I wonder what we'd call such an arrangement.
Yes. I feel like I have something to learn from the answers I receive. Especially, why are folks ok with pricing in externalities to some harms, but not others.
As someone who likes what Rust brings to the table, I am pleasantly surprised with the honesty of this review.

Interfacing with the C world, both as caller and calllee, happens a lot in real world code. All the C bugs come right back at that point.
A Serious Man: On Bruno Latour
I don't think so. However, extensions are automatically disabled if they request more permissions. And in Manifest v3 most extensions won't have access to most pages unless you click on them.

BSD is fun (not counting MacOS in the set there), but no, my Unix experiences have been universally legacy hardware oversubscribed and undermaintained. Not my favorite place to spend any time.
Just the Command+X feature for cutting files is worth its weight in gold. Or Bitcoin.

To be clear, being obese is dangerous in the long-term. Your biomarkers being okay now doesn't mean you're good to go. Obesity increases your risk of pretty much everything bad. That doesn't mean you're magically unhealthy, but certainly your risk is greater.

That doesn't mean you need to change anything or that you're weak or whatever people might say. I do tons of unhealthy stuff that are fine for the time being. I drink for one - that's gonna catch up to me.
I'm using stock Android, Pixel 8 Pro. Highlight text then tap "Copy". See a toast in the bottom left. Tap on it (not the X) and a little text editor applet opens up. Here you can edit the text and save it, updating the value in the clipboard. Then using Gboard, it has clipboard history so you can see and paste the specific recent item from the past hour that you want. (Unfortunately it can't be edited after initially copying although you can long press them in the Gboard menu to pin for longer or delete them).
US detects H5N1 bird flu in swine for the first time
How?

We have an ancient (in javascript years) app that webpacks stupid template systems and polyfills and all sorts of cruft that should have never been in the first place and we haven't had to touch any of that in years.

What dependency or feature forces you to chase versions?
That also very much depends on model size. For 70B+ models, while the tok/s are still fast enough for realtime chat, it's not going to be generating faster than you can read it, even on Ultra with its insane memory bandwidth.
"But, I do get a chuckle out of what you believe is a "diss," when you're actually stating that MBA holders will not only do better in life, but they'll also control your fate."

This doesn't mean it is not a diss - most parasites fare quite well, and definitely determine fates of their hosts.
I have exactly the same experience, usually after 3 years I'm desperate for new Mac but right now I genuinely think I'd prefer not to change. I have absolutely no issues with my M1 Pro, battery and performance is still great.
they all sound like valley-people, complete with the raspy voice and everything
Absolutely. This is something I had real trouble teaching to my kids (none of whom are in the computer industry). The idea that you should keep job hunting while you have applications in process seemed hard for them to wrap their minds around.
What's the timestamp? At 3:43 there's Luna Modeler.

I dunno if it's native or not, but the Fastmail app doesn't work when you're offline.
As former Alaska resident, can confirm. December sunrises are often after 10am, and sunsets before 4pm. Vice versa in summer.

Then you get above the Arctic Circle, and there are days with neither. :D
It's not just YouTube blocking something. It's Google not paying Mozilla millions for keeping Google as default search engine
This happens whenever I load up one of our PyTorch models on my M1 MBP 16gb too. I also hate the part where if the model (or any other set of programs) uses too much RAM the whole system will sometimes straight up hang and then crash due to kernel watchdog timeout instead of just killing the offender.
I've tried all sorts of configurations and I settled on two 27" 5K monitors (in HiDPI mode) on a VESA mount so they can easily be rotated for different use cases. The biggest selling point was text clarity. I really like using my code editor in vertical mode.

My previous setup was a 34" curved ultrawide and I didn't like it. Primarily due to the poor text quality and generally feeling it encouraged too much distraction.

I like being able to have very separate concerns per-display -- code editor on one display and browser on the other, and then I use virtual desktops on each one where needed.
Amazon is now, largely, just Aliexpress with faster shipping and easier returns (and higher prices).

Even in areas where they have brand name products, it's often impossible to surface them through their search. (I've, many times, failed to find something there and then went and searched Google/etc and the top result has been... an Amazon link to exactly what I'm looking for.) And if you purchase through Amazon, there's no reason to believe it's not gray market or something else where you may end up having issues with support/warranty if you ever need.

And combined with the inventory commingling, even if you find brand name products there you can't be sure you'll actually receive it and not a knock-off. So it really only makes sense to order things that are already the cheap/knock-off quality anyway.

So... yeah, there was a nice period of time there where Amazon was just "shopping made more convenient". These days it's "Aliexpress made more convenient". Unless I'm setting out to buy cheaply made Chinese imports with no warranty, I'm not even go to start looking on Amazon. There's little reason to.
> I know a couple of iOS developers who recently switched to a M4 MacBook pro

The M4 Macbook Pro will be released next week, what did you mean instead ?

> they swear that in some frequent workloads it feels sluggish and slower than the old Intel MacBook pros

I don't think I've seen a single other piece of user feedback online that corroborates this.

> I also add that, unlike Apple hardware, these miniPCs are built with extensibility in mind

Mac Mini gets its extensibility through Thunderbolt.
Is not so simple, there are TWO grapefruits. One is an hybrid, the other is one of the four fantastic ancient Citrus species, that are the grand-grand-grand-parents of (almost) every known fruit from that family. "Everything", from Uglyfruits to Blood Oranges to Key limes is an hybrid except a very few wild species
Right when there are better alternatives (fastmail, proton, etc). Another bonus-worthy move by Mozilla's CEO!

I feel the same way about my M1 Macbook Air ... it's such a silly small and powerful machine. I've got money to upgrade, I just have no need. It's more than enough for even demanding Logic sessions and Ollama for most 8b models. I love it.
It's not about efficiency or performance, it's about not having to own the iPhone in the first place. Just put a SIM card inside the laptop and forget about it. Windows laptops can even seamlessly switch between wifi and LTE depending on which one is available. But of course Apple would never allow that because they want to force you to own the full set of Apple devices. Laptop being self-sufficient would be against their policy.

Not to mention that in the US the cell phone carriers artificially limit tethering speed or put data caps on it when you tether from your phone. You have to buy a dedicated data-only plan and modem.
Storm Clouds Ahead: Missed Expectations in Cloud Computing
On your #1 issue: it’s a well-known and acknowledged problem. Basically, the current Thunderbird doesn’t have unique message IDs across folders, which causes issues when displaying messages from different folders in threaded view. One of the common workarounds involves making copies of Sent messages in other folders like INBOX.

There’s a major internal message storage rework project happening in Thunderbird, which should fix this once completed. You can try it in some beta builds, but of course, it’s still beta and isn’t compatible with some plugins yet. Most notably, the TBSync plugin, which provides Microsoft Outlook integration, doesn’t support it at this stage.
> Is there any way to only allow chrome extensions to update with permission?

With a firewall.
How does Firefox avoid this problem?
I've been using TVs as my monitor for probably 10 years now. I've been on my current Vizio 50" 4k TV since before covid. I think I bought it for $280? I do everything from programming, watching or up-scaling videos, and playing FPS games on it. My only issue has been vsync related tearing in certain games like God of War for PC even though I have vysnc settings on, but other than that, no problems. I do well in fast-paced Fortnite games, so latency hasn't been an issue either. I'm near-sighted and hate wearing glasses, so having the larger fonts has been a blessing also.

Wow, this guy has a ton of other menu bar apps. So many features I have thought about but never bothered to build/find. Awesome!
> Your manager doesn't get upset when you leave, bit weird how people feel so differently when they get fired.

That's because people have a single employer, while companies have several employees.

That's also why employees are protected, while companies are mostly not. And yeah, the US doubles down on the problem by linking health insurance with the job.
I am genuinely interested, why does it matter? The performance is more than good enough even to run a Visual Studio (not Code).

There are very few users, so no one buys the extensions.
i think if you have 24h left in Japan, coming from Hiroshima, those would be tough to squeeze since none are that close to Tokyo's central area
We're poetry here too, but pyenv I always had problems with so switched to ASDF which has been rock sold. I tried uv a while back and it was stupidly fast, just need to find the time to switch a ton of projects over.

That's not necessarily true.
If we’re talking “world,” global coal usage is predicted to increase, much of it in China and India, before declining later. Apparently with electricity usage going up, there’s more of every kind of power generation?

Also, cheap solar seems to be running into something like Amdahl’s law, where the solar panel cost is a small part of total cost. Hard to say what the trend will be for non-panel costs. How cheaply can they be installed and maintained?
For real, at some point running development and product teams cracking on features for no reason is a real negative

software can generally be 'done' in the same way building a skyscraper can be
Can we stop euphemistic language like this:

> In a letter to staff, Houston said that the reduction in headcount would impact 528 people.

He fired 528 people. That's what he did.

Also, he impacted a lot more than the 528 people he fired. Those who didn't get fired have to take on the work that was being done by their fired colleagues without an increase in pay.
I think some such utilities for classic MacOs predate PowerToys and there are a bunch for osx-y macOS so the there's a long proud history of these from not-Apple.
What Is Procedural Generation
Race isn't a good example because the science comes down pretty firmly on the side of race being a social construct, not biological fact, for which the physical traits that denote race are not particularly significant.

An argument that racism isn't okay because race doesn't even really exist seems perfectly valid, given that most modern arguments for racism are based on intentional misrepresentations of science.
> More generally, I'm a proponent of the philosophical view that the FDA and EPA should allowlist things, not denylist. A pesticide, GMO technique, additive, dye, preservative, etc. should be proven via clinical trials before being allowed, not allowed by default until proven harmful.

I agree with this 100%. I believe that it used to be that way in the USA until the burden of proof was shifted by the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976, although I am not entirely clear on this.
Our world has gotten smaller. For people that travel often and schedule calls across time zones, time zones are a complete pain in the ass. I've advocated for getting rid of time zones for ~10 years now. It really doesn't matter if people in California start work at 16:00; the people that live in that area will get used to it. Daylight will remain the same.

How does bazel manage virtual envs and python versions if at all? Could bazel and uv be used together or are their feature sets mostly overlapping?
Why do you need 3 clicks to bring back 1Password after minimising it? On my mac, it behaves like any other minimised window. A single click on its Dock icon does the trick.

Personally though, I always close it - as it's trivial to call it with ⌘\ .
No, it is similar. I think the analogy is that you being the horse and AI being cars. You are to upcoming AI what a horse was to cars.

I’m working on more detailed documentation, possibly using Docusaurus. It will include Dito benchmarks, use cases, and future development insights.

Thank you all!
I’d argue those protections are even more important in professional settings. You probably know how to properly obtain third party software in a safe manner, but Tina in graphic design probably doesn’t.

Regarding the built in Apple apps, I’m not sure what is gained by removing them other than a negligible amount of disk space. If you remove them from the dock they become out of sight out of mind. Same thing with the pre populated widgets and tiles on Windows.
Yes, it’s a tragedy of the commons. That doesn’t make taking on a loan you can’t afford less of a bad idea.

House prices are unaffordable because people take on loans they can’t afford. This reinforces the unaffordable prices. If milk was $40.00 a gallon you’d just stop putting it on cereal and eventually farmers get the message. Houses are the same thing.

If you can’t comfortably afford a house then don’t buy it. You’re stuck renting or buying something more modest. This isn’t complicated.

The idea that house prices can only go up is delusional. Nothing about a house is uniquely inflation proof or even inflation resistant. This isn’t the only investment vehicle available to you.

This idea that houses are an important part of financial security is putting the cart in front of the horse. It leads to the NIMBYism that prevents additional supply from being built because prices must always go up.

We all exist in the same economy and no action happens in a vacuum. When you buy something you have reduced supply and applied upward pressure on price. Individually this effect is so small it is immeasurable. In aggregate it isn’t.
How do they fine you without arresting you? Tape a citation to your back as you walk past?

That's amazing - my first thought, after clicking your link, was that the satellite view was out of date, from before construction began: but no, I just needed to zoom out. And out. And out - still not all of it! - five clicks later, you can finally see that this solar park takes up as much space as a small city.
Most users have no way to vet a chrome extension update (or on initial install). If we want strong security for everyone, we need better solutions than that
