Exactly this.

I am working on a solution to make it easier to hit the button from the front of a rack shelf, but the fact I have to mess with 3D printing just to hit a power button is silly.

Older Macs also had the power button on the back, which was also annoying, but at least a Mac that's secured to a shelf could have its power button pressed pretty easily.

The Mac mini _requires_ a mechanism to press up from the bottom in any permanent-ish install.
Obviously anything thanks to macros. But that's what math folks call the trivial solution and the author dives into the non-macro cases.
After experiencing NixOS it's hard to settle for anything less. Nix is only good for running home-manager; nix-darwin is mostly a joke (I don't mean disrespect, I appreciate the work devs are doing, but limitations of the platform cripple the entire experience).

FWIW, Mitchell Hashimoto runs NixOS VM on his Mac for development. And that's the option I'm gonna implement once I get my MBP from repairs.
How does one “idling” like this? “ In 1.25U of rack space, you could run three Mac minis, idling around 10W, giving almost a teraflop of CPU performance. ”
Have you ever thought that maybe people understand "market segmentation", but at the same time, they'd like to know how broad a range of computing options one would have on these general purpose computers, with price tags in the many-hundreds to thousands range?
Totally. Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting companies be obligated to continue developing new code for older systems. Just that they not be allowed to pull the rug out from under existing users who want to simply continue using the software that already works for them.

I used to use the "FlightAware" app on my iPhone to look up information about airplanes, airline flights and stuff. Last "update" they pushed out was a single modal dialog that essentially says "You can no longer use this application on your device. You need to buy a new phone." The software was working perfectly one day, and then bam, sorry not sorry. That's what FlightAware means by dropping support: Pulling the rug out from under existing users who would be happy to just continue using their older version.
This solidifies my satisfaction with my choice of a mid-spec’d M4 Pro to replace my M1 Air. I wanted more RAM, so I went with the middle option with 24 GB. Similarly, I mostly care about single-core performance, so the Max didn’t seem like a huge deal.

I’m still getting used to the weight of a 14” Pro vs. a 13” Air, but the additional screen size is terrific.

The only thing I’m unsure about is the matte screen option. I saw screenshots that seemed as though contrast gets blown out, so I kept the glossy. I’ve seen others say at normal laptop viewing angles, this is not the case.
This seems like one of the best times to do it as long as you get your own monitor. You will probably be set for 10 more years with this thing.
How so? They don’t prevent you installing other operating systems.
Is this just what we would expect?

An LLM doesn't have access to the type of information needed to solve these problems so it simply can't?

"Many experts cite this as evidence that current large language models (LLMs) are poor generalist learners. "

That makes sense right?

It's not "learning" it's doing math on words to string them together, but without the right context / training, it doesn't know what words make sense to solve the problem?
I think the reason to make it replace/removable is to reduce e-waste at EOL. Lots of companies have policies on data storage on decomissioned computers to be physically destroyed, so making it replaceable allows the machines to be repurposed after.
You might be able to. You just need to make sure you get a compatible module somehow.

I wonder if 3rd parties will start selling them. If the memory controller is in the cpu, there’s no reason for the little board housing the ssd to have any proprietary chips…
I was speaking more to GenAI solutions, this is more traditional ML
45drives is... bad. I cannot understand why people would use them- particularly for homelab. Three SC846 24x3.5" 4U can be had for no more than $400/ea and, theres 36bay versions.

60 drives in 6U is a crap ton of weight.
I can't find a Minisforum 790S7 for anywhere near the price of the base model mac mini. I am seeing $459.00 USD and that is "BAREBONE (NO OS/RAM/SSD)" [1]. I am comparing this to the M4 Mac Mini base model, that does indeed come with an OS, RAM, and an SSD[2] at $499 USD.

M4 Macs only accept SSDs of the exact same make and model as the one installed at the factory.

So to expand storage in an M4 Mac, you indeed need to desolder the flash chips and solder in new ones.
I feel you, extremely frustrating when the phone is otherwise in good working order. I've started to get update prompts from apps, on my aging iPhone, even though no new versions exist for my OS.
You have to curate your discover feed, like joining any new platform with a recommendation engine. The nice thing is there are many custom feeds for various topics beyond the singular main feeds (discover, following, friends) and you can write your own and use it from their app.
So a really knowledgeable, specific search engine without ads or a customer base.

I hope you don’t pay for that service, you could train and run it yourself in… a week?
In 29 years of working with software development teams of varying sizes I'm not sure I have ever worked with a team in which a reliable, contiguous, distraction-free 8 hours of work was a norm across every team member. In fact, if there's one through-line I've seen in every working environment I've been in, it's that there are always a couple high-performing team members who get their real work done after dinner.

If you're older than I am, maybe you're familiar with cubicle culture norms I just didn't get exposed to in the late 90s, but from my perspective flexible schedules and evaluation by completed work has always been one of the perks of this field.

I can't speak to other fields where people commonly work from home, but ours is marked by a particular reverence for focus and flow, so I'm not inclined to expect the situations are much more difficult.
I'm kind of shocked by this comment. Microsoft seems to be dominating the industry, with copilot having over 1.5 million users.
I just used them as an example. The point is that if a newspaper article essentially corresponds to the Reuters (or any news agency's) news reports, why should I pay for the newspaper?
Good news is you can create your own labeling service that people can subscribe and report posts to and you can have a feed completely devoid of hate speech against the government.

Also, if you're in a group of people that trumps policies target (immigrants with undocumented family members, women and trans people who want bodily autonomy, Arabs with family in Palestine) then all that pro-trump positivity starts to feel pretty hateful too, just in case you haven't looked at it from that angle.
While I suspect it is silent for most tasks, the M4 mini isn’t fanless.

For my music studio I’ve enjoyed the M1 mini since it is totally silent and am eager to read some noise tests on the new M4 mini.

I don’t think anything is stopping you buying a second hand / 3rd party module online. It just needs to be physically compatible with your particular generation of hardware.
I am not sure that is true, does it not use more peak power but get more work done leading to less energy overall for say exporting a hundred photos because it finishes quicker?
FYI the comma is being placed awkwardly on its own line on the homepage.

You should check these guys out. They actually do it (rack, not hosting ML models) and it seems to me to be pretty elegant: https://www.macstadium.com/blog/m4-mac-mini-review
It makes sense that the Pro model is less efficient since it's more focused on performance.
A lot of people have a relative or something still in education, just buy it through them. It's not like this is government subsidy, just a promotion to increase sales and maybe hope to have long term customer by hooking them at younger age. Probably much less immoral than blocking ads on YouTube.
My mom died a few years ago and I stopped talking to my dad over his Fox News brainworms.

I feel like an orphan now. I have a couple siblings but we're distant.
This is fantastic! We're building a walk-in-closet-sized Faraday cage at i3Detroit, though of course we're in the US so we won't need it for this specific hack, there's a zillion reasons it's fun to have one!

Off the top of my head:

The biggie is that we're right down the street from WOMC's transmitter, which is 135,000 watts EIRP. It gets into EVERYTHING and makes other RF measurements more difficult, so if you're trying to align an amplifier or something, it's nice to start from a quiet place and get the basics solid, and only THEN add sources of potential intermod and stuff.

Debugging wifi, bluetooth, and other wireless stuff without a zillion other nodes in view. Yes you can filter the output of a sniffer, but it's more fun to filter the input. ;)

Lighting up a 1G or 2G cellular network without worrying about spectrum licensing.

Practicing offensive wifi techniques or other stuff that might interfere with the hackerspace's existing network.

Playing with GPS spoofers in an FCC-free zone. Or anything else you might find amusing but want to do responsibly.

Locking an iPhone in there to see if it reboots itself... (rofl)
Still can be heard, but it is not so annoying as it was. The fan noise is, how to describe it, softer?

(Not the OP, just another opinion)

Reuters is a wire service that many other outfits license and republish, usually verbatim or with some truncation for brevity. It's the journalistic equivalent of retweets without any further comments. They also try to maintain a high degree of non-partisanship (because they want to broadly resell their content across demographic/cultural boundaries), which is good in a "just the facts" kinda sense, bad in the sense that it makes for boring reading and usually doesn't carry a lot of detail/commentary/analysis – which for people not already informed on a topic usually means they're just glossing over it and not getting any of the subtext. It's kinda like trying to understand world affairs through RSS feeds instead of in-depth expertise.

Nothing inherently "wrong" with that model, but it's not the same as true investigative journalism (which there is less and less of, both in terms of producers/journalists and audiences interested in that material) or even a good blogger explaining the important background of a topic. As our attention spans shorten to tweet length or below, perhaps our thoughts become similarly oversimplified. Nuance and depth don't really sell anymore, so our journalism is likewise shallow...
The M4 Pro Minis support higher capacity modules, so it's not too shocking that they are not identical.

We've already seen videos from the usual suspects showing that people who are sufficiently skilled with a soldering iron can replace the flash chips in the modules with higher capacity chips, in addition to replacing the whole module.
this is pretty nice, is it hard to export to this? Is it UE5+ only?
I've seen this FUD repeated for a long time. Hasn't happened yet. Probably the worst that will happen is they'll start requiring some type of verification again.

I am reminded of a revelation from a man who has seen it all

From the creator of Windows' kernel:

https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-longhor...

>Cutler found what he terms "the worst code he has ever seen," some IME code developed in Japan. He states that the code had no regard for bugs and that it got to a point where they couldn't fix some of the overflow plugs.

In the very same article he said:

>However, progress on this project halted as Windows XP's security had gone from bad to worse. Cutler states that his team alone fixed over 5,000 bugs while turning over some of the system's code.

His team fixed over 5000 mostly security bugs in Windows XP, and he still thinks it's still better than "some IME code developed in Japan". The mind boggles.
I do not doubt that this was possible for you, or that your kids turned out fine.

But I think you are making a very bold assumption based on a sample of two, and also being quite dismissive of the challenges that other parents are facing.

Personally I believe I would have broken down mentally had I not spent the vast majority of the downtime on getting sleep myself.
I was traveling by local buses in the first grade in an Indian city of 25M people. Today my (well off) siblings in NY won't let their kids out of their sight for even 1 second.

America wonders how they produce these safe space snowflakes and this is absolutely the attitude that causes it.
If you replace the www in the URL with lite, those articles are still free, even the paywalled articles. No picture or video content as an added bonus
I have an N100 in that listing on the linked GitHub project, it's the best Intel system I've tested, and it gets around 2.5 Gflops/W (which is a little less than a Raspberry Pi 5, which is not known for being the most efficient Arm system).
I don't know what you'd call firing the entire supercharger team because the head of the department pushed back on layoffs as anything other than idiotic.
Sure, but to complain that a Mac, which, come on, at this point is a known quantity for 20 years, doesn't run Linux is just looking to complain. If you want more options there's endless x86 choices, and if you want ARM then demand better from other manufacturers as well. Apple showed its possible, why doesn't Dell come out with something comparable? I'm not a fanboy, I run systems of all stripes, but Macs aren't designed to be servers (even though they operate perfectly well as one) and people need to stop complaining that they aren't.
It's not fundamentally related to anything because the choice of color is completely arbitrary. There are no rules that relate color to any configuration of lines unless you choose to impose arbitrary rules.
Anyone have a reasonable source url for this?
It’s cooling but that’s because the next APi for flagship models haven’t shipped in a while. Every frontier co is on their .5 gen right now.
It seems viable that doing so increases the price for those of us who don't.
For a Regex approach take a look at the work from Jina.ai who among other things have a chunk/tokenizer [1] and now it's part of a bigger API service [2] also they developed an interesting late interaction (aka ColBERT like) chunking system that fits certain use cases. But the Regex is enough all by itself:

IDK. The results of the US election could change this, too.
Copilot is ridiculously easy for a CTO/IT to enable for an entire org. That doesn't mean it's providing the level of value that Cursor is. It's just like the number of "users" Microsoft Teams has, is implicitly tied to the number of Office/Outlook customers. Whether or not people actually use the tool is frankly unrelated to how many customers they can report as "using" a tool.
I can at least attest to linux nix on arm working pretty well as I use NixOS asahi linux. Unfortunately M4 support is not there yet.
I have a 5K monitor for the Apple Silicon MacBook which I could easily switch to a MacMini and would be ergonomically better. My other MacBook is also about 10 years old and it's a question of how long I stretch everything out while it's all basically working even if not on the current OS.
You joke, the North Koreans fighting for Russia in Ukraine are fascinated with the internet.

Oh, and there's Asahi, which does run on Macs (not the M4 yet, but it'll come).
What makes Bluesky different is ATProto. The four core components (data hosting, app view, algo feed, moderation) are all separate, pluggable, and open for anyone to implement their own.

What that means is moving is easy, meaning competition is possible, without the need to migrate platforms and rebuild followings and the network. Beyond that, ATProto supports custom record types, so one can build all the social media application types (Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, Substack, ...) on the same social media fabric (ATProto)

I'm inclined to say the custom record type is a fifth core component that now exists thanks to ATProto. Monetization hasn't been widely discussed yet, Bluesky team has something besides ads in mind, but haven't publicly disclosed.
I ended up doing roughly the same, except 16", 48gb, 14/20 cpu, and with the matte option that I'm extremely on the fence about having done. In the store I couldn't tell a difference in picture quality even with a photographer pointing out differences and suggesting it wasn't worth it; I'm mainly concerned about damage to the screen from the keyboard and how necessary the cleaning cloth is.
Not difficult at all, we have our own custom exporter that we've built out that simplifies the process. Our main focus is on UE5, however, we have WebGL2 support for UE4 as well. Also important to keep in mind that a porting process is involved just like any other platform, meaning you have to keep best practices of the web in mind (load times, performance, etc)
A better argument against Netflix is that they don't have a closed ecosystem. Netflix does make some movies, but Disney has much more of a moat and ecosystem.
If you can get a 2TB chip for ~50% of what it retails at Apple the M4 mini would be the absolutely 100% totally best computer ever made.

At the moment it's only the best computer ever made, but too expensive if you want any sort of storage.
External storage is technically viable, but then it's yet another device and yet another cable contributing to the unholy mess on your desk. If there are no functional reasons to have an external device, it's just better to have an internal one.
It's not possible to get a bank account in the USA if:

1- you are on the secret unaccountable banking blacklist

2- you lack proper identity documentation

3- you are a fugitive from justice

Without a bank account, you can't get a payment card, and, in a cashless world, you can't buy food.
> We've already seen videos from the usual suspects showing that people who are sufficiently skilled with a soldering iron can replace the flash chips

Sure, but I don't think soldering skills is exactly what I'd have in mind when I think "upgradeable".
In that case then they should be on switched pdu ports and plugged into permanent kvm.

I'm sorry but this is nonsense, if you're really racking them in bulk the above is obvious.
Presumably he knows what he’s talking about?

I think it’s not so much that the code doesn’t do what it’s supposed to. It’s that it’s an absolutely impenetrable mess. You’d never know if there were bugs unless your customer (or QA team) runs into them.
Early consumer electronics don't have substantial text entry.

In the 1980s, a major goal of AI research was to make CJK text entry effective and convenient (OCR or alternatives). It didn't pan out in time.

When the necessary tech was reading, emoji was huge in Japan first because it helped mitigate the text entry problem.
> no longer needed with colour.

I think the increased legibility for visual pattern matching also makes SQL easier to read for many of the 350 million color blind people in the world.
YouTube Ads (not subscriptions) are nearly as big as Netflix's entire revenue:

https://theankler.com/p/netflixs-threat-isnt-in-hollywood

https://x.com/EconomyApp/status/1652380729425162241

YouTube has an insane moat. Netflix has a half dozen comparable competing services (Prime, Apple, Disney, HBO/Max, etc.)
This seems like the start of something handy, but isn't yet useful.
As others have mentioned, which holidays a company offers will vary.
But more than that, given a number of days off and a calendar year, this currently seems to output only 1 result, though of course there are a large number of ties (in terms of consecutive days not worked). The current tool doesn't allow the user to 'edit' or swap between 'equally good' allocations. In my attempt, it produced a very skewed result, using the vast majority of days between November and February, and using zero days in July through October. If it suggests using 4 days to extend a holiday into 9 consecutive days, there's no way to express that you'd rather do that for Labor Day than for Veterans day. If it's extending a 3-day weekend into a 4-day one, you can't indicate that you'd rather do that with Columbus Day than with Presidents Day.
It feels like a lot of big companies will lose money on AI for a while since they need it to stay relevant but it doesn't seem to be generating all that much in profits yet.
I was reading through this and caught myself thinking "man, if you want people to read your recipe then just write it", and for that plain text or some minimal markup still works wonders...

Guess I'm not in the target market for this problem. I suppose if you didn't have access to Microsoft 365 or Google Suites this would be a good fit?

But since you are likely paying per seat on your email accounts, it seems it would make sense to go with a provider that already handles this, built in, then you aren't splitting mx or anything else.
That might be ok on modern hardware, but if the reason you're using Windows 7 is that your hardware is too old for newer versions of Windows, I don't think Proton is a good option. For example, I think it requires Vulkan which a lot of old GPUs don't support.
Jelly is currently using Render, and we have automated deploys set up from Github, so just merging the PR kicks off the magic sauce.

I’ve also used Kamal + Hetzner for a few other simple things recently, and it’s been surprisingly delightful (speaking as someone who has never enjoyed mucking about with deployment frameworks).
No, not really. Communism fight against tradition usually, don't have a rejection of modernism at all (its Hagelien by definition), do not pander to the middle class, does not have a weird anti-elite fetish, tend to like difference in a weird, feodal way (but that might only be the USSR to 'show up' to the CCP). Point 7 kinda apply (it's not as simple, and mostly stalinism/cesarism but still). The point 8 could apply to it, except it doesn't, not exactly: in communism, the enemy is strong, the strongest even, but the 'march of history' will defeat him. Point 11 to 13, works the same for communism (you could say it isn't true for Vietnam, and you'd be right, but Vietnam is weird because religion and culture came and inferred with the already bastardized Chinese communism. Imho Vietnam-style communism could outlast the CCP). Point 14 don't apply ar all,it's the reverse, communism created a ton of neologisms, new way to talk, and weird 'futurism'.

Capitalism is a production method, if you're talking about political liberalism, it clearly does not apply.
They're usually the same 30 - 50 watt processors used in x86 laptops, once we got past the "dual-core" ceiling they became extremely capable.
