I am really happy for you if that has been your experience, and I fully acknowledge that the fact that the extremely neurotic style of modern parenting so many people seem to practice is incompatible with pretty much anything does not imply that all kids and all kinds of parenting leave no room for anything else... still, please, recognize that there is an enormous amount of variance in what kids are like and that some things just cannot be "metabolized" that easily. I might have written something like what you wrote if we had only had our second kid, also given my experience with how wildly effective certain interventions (e.g. sleep training) can be. Knowing what our first is like, who by the way has no medical issues but just happens to be a pain in the ass, your remarks instead sound completely ridiculous.
A few times in my career I've been looking for exactly this role, a place that would value sense and design/ux sensibility as well as an understanding of what is technically possible. Larger companies don't hire for this role, because it does not have a name. You could write “Temple Grandin for the web”, but that is closer to magic, something non-scalable, a position that is created for a specific person. I ended up working in small teams, often in experimental research positions, but that too is very special and esoteric.

If the role had a name, not even a theoretical foundation but simply a name, then and only then it could actually exist.

No one is asking for your compassion or complaining, they're largely just expressing how the piece made them feel - and again, reminiscing about their own parents.

Yeah, I eventually realized that nix-darwin is only good for managing the list of homebrew casks.

home-manager works better than I'd expect. At least I don't have to spend time configuring vim, git and shell prompt.

But overall, Nix on MacOS feels like a hack, behaves like a hack... because it's essentially a hack...

Since the first ARM systems (may be before) you can’t upgrade things on your own, i had an Air which can be SSD upgraded but not memory upgraded. Memory can only be upgraded from factory.
There are quite a bit of AI for academic researching tools out there that are generating quite a bit of revenue or being bought up by academic publishing companies. You also have dedicated copy writing and article writing tools that basically automate (read plagiarize) the entire academic writing process.

> Having it on the bottom makes it hard to press as you can’t lift them up when they’re secured in a mount

Hard rebooot is the only situation where you should be using the physical power button on a modern Mac. If you're installing Macs on a rack, presumably you can sudo shutdown -r.

The button on the bottom is trying to tell you that the system is built to be well behaved on stand by.
They almost certainly won’t get rid of it because people are abusing it. If they do it’s because they don’t want to offer it.

If they want to end the abuse they will simply toughen the verification procedure.
Jobs would've thrown it out the window, and verbally abused the intern who brought it in, because it has ports in the front.

He would've kept the power button on the bottom, though.
I missed it! I saw "Thanks!" and skipped until the foot notes.
I can only speak of experience with their UN100D mini PC which I use as a home server in a fairly constrained closet. Not a hot machine by any means, far from that, but the cooling seems pretty decent even for this low power CPU.

BD790i that I just received (didn't even install anywhere) has a rather substantial heatsink over the CPU similar to high wattage GPUs. The chip itself is rated at 55W TDP so it shouldn't be that much of a problem cooling it. The motherboard doesn't come with a fan and I'm definitely not going to spend extra on high-end ones at least just yet.

I don't know anything about the thermals of 790S7's case though. It looks like they gave it at least some thought judging by the duct over the CPU, but how it actually performs I have no idea.
The same attitude is present in the US. You can occasionally find signs in stores in the US indicating they won't accept bills larger than $20: https://www.amazon.com/SmartSign-V-shaped-Businesses-Restaur...
I'll add, there are also databases of home improvement projects available through your local library. That way you can fully evaluate the YouTube video to see if the creator is wildly unsafe or something.
That explanation makes no sense. There are many mini PCs of the same size that have their power button in an accessible location.

The excuse that most users never use the power button is the "you're holding it wrong" of 2024. Stop telling me how to use your devices, Apple.

The explanation mentioned on several forums that it's a cost cutting measure to avoid extruding yet another hole in the aluminum case, or routing the power cable, makes no sense either. This is a state-of-the-art machine, yet they're cutting costs on such trivialities? Give me a break.

This is unequivocally poor design. Yet Apple will never publicly admit that, and will gaslight everyone to think it's actually good, as they usually do.
Except it doesn't work, as the subject article demonstrates. At least not for primary education.
My experience says, soon there will be a reduction in the company of the customer support jobs, bringing the customer satisfaction on par to before aka lower, but with slightly more money in the shareholders' pockets.
His resume doesn't really indicate he didn't join a commune. Leaving Data General in 1979 and joining ComputerVision in 1979 wouldn't preclude joining a commune for a season. However, a letter to the editor in 1981 [1] provides evidence that he left Data General specifically to work for ComputerVision, with both events happening in Spring.

Like others have mentioned, being able to toggle which days are holidays would make this useful.

I get (8) holidays each year: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.

Two of my company holidays aren’t federal holidays, so being able to toggle arbitrary weekdays as holidays would also be useful.

Also, sometimes holidays fall on the weekend and the observed holiday date is arbitrarily chosen.

Your algorithm did pick the same vacation days as I did this year for December, so it does seem to be working properly in that sense :)

And for which they've also been widely criticized for the exact same reasons.
Not sure what's so controversial, it's well known that LLMs can trivially be viewed as operating in higher dimensional space:

https://gcptips.medium.com/a-geometric-perspective-on-large-...

As for generalizing to algorithms, LLMs don't yet do this as well as humans, but they do do it:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.02390

Finally, there's no intrinsic reason why an AI that can reliably solve deductive problems like ARC would be limited to two dimensions.
Someone in the company also might start to ask where the productivity explosion is.
I considered sending the prints to a company that scans them. I was in LA at one time and toured their offices. Ultimately, I decided to use Photo Scan (an iOS app by Google - not sure if it’s still around).

I grouped photos by general time range and bulk added date/time and location information - knowing it wouldn’t be perfect.

It wasn’t terrible and I got a couple hundred photos scanned in a weekend.

Highly recommend this or another method.
It’s sickening to read over and over again. It Jide’s reinforced my belief that tech folks are some of the most ignorant on social problems
Not really. Unlike previous mac mini models, the grille on the underside is both the air intake and exhaust. If anything it ought to be better upside-down, since convection now helps the heated air rise out.

Edit: any downvoters care to elaborate?
I don't think there's enough high quality benchmark information to really make a statement like that, but most importantly, I care about both single-core and multi-thread performance. I don't really have any workloads that only use one thread.

Comparing the M4 with PC CPUs will be hard. Typically when comparing two PC CPUs, to make the comparison more realistic, you'd set some reasonable similar constraints, like using the same memory kits and so on. However, even without considering overclocking, the actual performance of a given CPU can vary massively depending on the thermals, power delivery, memory and so forth. (It can vary by over 50%. I didn't check but you should be able to see this on benchmark charts that allow user submission.)

(However, for what it's worth, I always do at least a bit of mild overclocking personally. Nothing extreme, but what does fit within the power and thermal budget is basically just free performance at the cost of some efficiency, a trade-off I'm happy to make for my main desktop machine.)
well asahi is going to bring M4 support eventually and there is https://github.com/tpwrules/nixos-apple-silicon

Maybe part of the problem is most of the people claiming to be "AI experts" are riding the wave but don't really have much to offer.

My company was recently offered a $5k/mo package that would "supercharge our sales with AI." I don't think the presenter had anything material to offer besides some very basic workflow integrations that anyone who is using AI in their day to day has (mostly) already identified.
So... what becomes of the tech industry when we run out of hype fads? Two more years of stagnant hiring? It's good that interest rates are starting to lower again, at least.

Did anything novel ever come out of people integrating on demand UI into chat & conversations, or is it still in a sort of “low-code” use case space?
This is seriously impressive, how do I get access to this as an indie developer..?
Apple and Google are largely alternatives. Almost everyone in USA uses at least one of those two in an extremely dependent way.
It's not like they're taking a loss from educational purchases. It's just price discrimination. You might as well say "if we all started using newspaper coupons we can say goodbye to those discounts."
As with all things regarding power efficiency, you have to consider the wide use of these devices, not just the individual use.

If moving the power button there changes the behavior of thousands of people that would typically shut their computer down when they're not using it, that half glass of orange juice turns into thousands of gallons.
Ask HN: How to Look for Manufacturers in Europe?
I am building a startup in the personal care / oral care sector, and I need to find manufacturers that can make tablets / toothpaste. In the US it was easy for me to look for manufacturers because there lots of websites/directories that list these companies such as Thomson. But in Europe, theres nothing like it. The directories that I've tried are a mess, with incorrect listings and whatnot. The language barrier is also a problem because I assume every country has their own directory pages? I even considered hiring a procurement specialist, similar to the ones they have in China for Alibaba etc., but I cant even find them! So, how do I do this?
I find it unreliable and feature poor compared to western messaging apps. Calls drop/lag/cut out all the time, notifications fail to get delivered, and so on
Just serving up content from Reddit and HN and a few other websites would be enough to beat Google for most of us. Sprinkle in the top 100 websites and you have a legitimate contender.

There is no open web anymore. Google killed it. There are probably fewer than 100k useful websites in the world now. Which is good for startups, because the problem is entirely tractable.
> There are devices that should be.

Ah, I thought you were arguing for the opposite.

One of Hofstadter's old books also talks about this.
That's true but there is also something called compounding interest. The relationship between people and money is not entirely linear.
Biden was free to do as he wished in Afghanistan. He can't blame Trump's plan when he changed course on so many other international agreements.

Furthermore, if it was really Trump who "drop-kicked" Afghanistan, Putin would not have felt encouraged to invade Ukraine under Biden.

But you're mostly right, except for one word:

> Biden drop-kicking Afghanistan was probably the largest external factor that encouraged Putin to launch the full-scale invasion against Ukraine.
Thanks for the kind words (and for passing Jelly along to others!).

Maybe my only suggestion would be different kinds of archiving

Then you have no reason to argue with me.
I think the airflow for more than 3 per 1.33u, or 8-9 per 3u will necessarily suck.

I have designed for both, I think both have great use cases. 2 x 8 in 6u is really neat and tidy, I just don't love the concept of sitting the fans on their side, though I think they'll still last 5 years.
The API wrapper companies will likely limp along until the model market consolidates and they get their faces ripped off by skyrocketing prices, or the features they're selling get integrated into models/platforms themselves. I don't see why Zoom/Google Meet can't integrate a bot-less call recorder+summarizer and immediately put half of them out of business.
It's very predictable at this point that nearly everyone has the same videos, it feels like me trying to not plagiarize Wikipedia in middle school; "I'll change a word here, rephrase a sentence there, done!". Also true in many other content categories, everyone uses the same source material, same review units, same benchmarks, often the same editing style. I'd say it's a negative, but I've been watching less and less of it since noticing the pattern.
I found out about this on Youtube. It's a concept album that sounds like a mix of 80s self-help tapes and vaporwave. I find the presentation interesting, in this early PC era lookalike. If you click on "Listen" you'll hear the music, with some backstory on [1].

It's not like Tim Cook personally decided to put the button there, but saying over many years he's aligned the company to be one that would leave the button there rather than bite the cost of putting it somewhere more ergonomic is something I can buy into. Seems like a way to improve margins generation over generation, which is the kind of thing he's obsessed with.

This is also the same Apple that made the G4 Cube: that felt like this in reverse, with Jobs driving them to make a capacitive touch button because of an obsession with a seamless surface.

Start a car rental company by buying a bunch of luxury cars. Drive two or three yourself, and let your friends and family drive them. Once the cash is clean, sell them and close the business.

All you need to do is make sure you have an actual phone number that someone can call to rent a car, and make sure your prices are outrageous. Give the job of answering the phone to your sister's kid, or your girlfriend.
Lack of data is also a data point, and could be considered suspicious if most "normal law abiding" profiles produce data. Imagine you're the IRS and you see 1,000 people living in the same neighborhood, with comparable lifestyle profiles. 999 of them report similar incomes and have similar banking/investment profiles, but 1 of them reports drastically lower income and has little-to-no banking presence. Who are you going to apply more scrutiny to? Not saying it's fair, but I know an outlier when I see one.
Meaningless distinction.

A lot of this sounds accurate. Though, I am not sure if any keiretsu had an influence on my current employer.
Of course, but the subtext of that comment is that working anywhere while taking care of a baby is untenable, and the fact that you're working from a home office does not change the fundamental calculus of current work expectations.

These are all distinctions without a difference when analyzing theory descriptions under a unified framework, like ordering them by Kolmogorov complexity, eg. a Turing machine description is equivalent to a universal Turing machine+a suitably encoded tape.
Is not the absolute cost that goes up per se. It’s the cost relative to cost of things that scale. Education, nursing care, even doctoring all have significant human to human interaction at a personal level for there to be success. When the cost of other things like commodities drop 100x, those human interactions services don’t and therefore become relatively more expensive even despite massive productivity gains those fields
Welp. You're definitely correct. But that's the only machine in my opinion that comes close (and offers some advantage like a whole PCIe 5.0 x16 slot). There are other mini PCs that are cheaper, some other commenter suggested Beelinks which are also quite popular among enthusiasts, SER8 for example: Ryzen 8745HS, 24 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD for 467 Euro. Seems competitive enough.
It's another feature of Kagi. They know they have thousands of results, but they provide you a single page of most relevant results. If you want to see more because you exhausted the page, there's a "more results" button at the bottom.

Kagi reduces mental load by default, and this is a good thing.
The sad thing is all the damage it’s done in the meantime.

I just saw a mention about how a homework help company called Chegg has had their stock drop 99% because everyone is just using ChatGPT.

They were a real functioning company, with hundreds or thousands of employees and contractors. All of whom are basically going to be laid off because some company burned through a bunch of VC money to lure everyone away with “the new thing“.

All the artists who lost jobs or commissions. All the companies who ended up wasting a ton of time trying to build AI or integrate AI features that aren’t actually useful. And maybe they’ll end up in a product in two years and by then no one will care or want them.

All the electricity, the silicon, the water for cooling, the new data center is being built that won’t be needed.

Just tons and tons of waste everywhere.

ChatGPT is neat. For all we know we’re near a local maxima of what we’re capable of achieving without another completely new approach that will take 10 or 15 years to figure out. There’s no proof that the acceleration and capabilities we’ve seen over the last 2 to 3 years will continue like that.

I know my company has been asked about adding AI into The main product I work on. I don’t see any benefit. I’ve been told when they ask the customers what it would do for them, they can’t say either. But they seem to have been trained to ask for it by the hype.

Remind me of all the nonsense about chat bots being integrated into every company’s webpage five or six years ago. They’re not helpful. But they were the thing.

ChatGPT has some uses, but is also way more expensive/wasteful.

I hope the hype moves on fast. I’d like this stuff that shakes out to stick around but what’s going on right now is just way too wasteful for my taste.

Feels like almost everyone is trying to build the biggest Z-Ray they can because they’ve been told it’s an amazing discover. No one actually knows what it is, or how to build one, but that hasn’t stopped trillions of dollars from being poured into it. And if we get there, it may not be worth anywhere near what was paid.
