> - I'd love to see better Linux support. (As far as I know, Asahi Linux only covers the M1 and M2 lines, and as amazing of a project as it is, last I looked, it's neither upstreamed nor exactly what one might consider first class. Maybe it's getting there now, though...)

As I understand it M3 is not supported because there's no M3 Mini to run the continuous integration

There is now an M4 Mini, so there might be a chance Asahi Linux will eventually support M4.

https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/112277289414246878

Edit: Turns out the lack of Mini isn't really a huge issue and it's more just that there were significant changes between M2 and M3.

Therefore, accommodations for disabilities in the workplace are also rampantly abused, even without any evidence to support this?

I am suppose to believe that because you perceive society at large is abusing the situation around emotional support animals that this must also mean its rampant in the workplace?

Again, without any evidence that accommodations for disabilities in the workplace are an issue of this magnitude? Even though the bar for getting them is far higher than what it takes to claim you have an emotional support animal when out shopping?[0]

[0]: Stores have little incentive, and actually several disincentives, to ask for information about an emotional support animal. They actually can inquire if your animal is a service animal, and what tasks it has been trained to perform but they simply don't do the follow on. There's no incentive for them to do it. Not the case with workplace accommodations.

> Crunchyroll usually gets an unaltered version for series such as Demon Slayer. But for unknown reasons, most likely due just pure lack of initiative from Crunchyroll's side, Jujutsu Kaisen isn't as lucky.

I'm not sure if it's actually simulcast but they apparently offer the preferred (to the petitioners) version of some shows. I guess that would be simulcast taking all regions into account but not sure within a single region.
Polymarket is crypto adjacent, and the current administration has been going against the whole crypto ecosystem. I don't think it's just about predicting that Trump would win.

I don't understand, like, I can see each handwave -

1. They're paying a lot in rent.

2. if they don't have workers in the office, then, adjacent spaces for ex. food service is less valuable.

3. If adjacent space is less valuable, the landlord is motivated to raise Amazon's rent to compensate

4. Therefore, they're making people go back to work to avoid rent increases

4 years on, and it seems a little bit odd it took that long for it to play it. But it seems (much) cheaper and sensible to find somewhere else to rent than give in to a threatening landlord who sees you as responsible for any shortfalls in adjacent revenue, instead of the anchor tenent you are.
> If 16gb is considered to be a "bare minimum" for RAM, well, how much ram will all those programs use next year? Or in 10 years?

16gb is the figure for the next 10 years. If you see yourself being content with 8gb of memory shared between your CPU and GPU in 2030, you must have a uniquely passive use-case.

I remember when people said 4gb doesn't need to be the minimum for all Macbooks. Eventually MacOS started consuming 4gb of memory with nothing open. Give Apple a few years to be insecure about the whole AI thing and they'll prove to you why they bumped the minimum spec. Trust me.
If you increase the font size then you will lose effective space.

For example in the screenshots I included in the post, I can fit 6 side by side code windows at 80 chars and have a tiny bit of room to spare. That's with a code editor font size of 10. If I doubled the font size then I'd only be able to fit 3 because text is twice as large.

The conspiracy theory is that Polymarket was rigged by nefarious forces to promote Donald Trump. It was widely promulgated in the mainstream press* leading up to the election. If you view Polymarket as an illegitimate tool used to help put a dictator in the White House, not surprising the the party being being replaced would attack it.

* E.g. the New Yorker, "Polymarket has seen a recent surge in pro-Trump election bets. Is it the movement of a rational market or a concerted campaign?" or Newsweek, "Polymarket Prediction Platform Possibly Manipulated to Favor Trump"
I'm a journalist and I'm changing the way I read news. This is how
This was really exciting to read, but after trying it on four NYC MTA commutes (with one transfer on each commute, so a total of 8 different train rides) over the past couple of days I’ve given up on Transit App for now…

Yesterday night and this morning it kept telling me to get off the train either two early or too late, and this evening it didn’t even think I got on the L in the first place. The app even lightly scolded me for “missing” my train!
The only way I can copy Morse Code in my head is to visualize the letters being typed as I hear them and reading it back. I originally learned code by developing a "reflex" action to write the letter as I heard it; when I went to higher speeds (~50wpm) (before computer decoding was available) I'd type it on a typewriter as I heard it.

Because they cost more and people won't buy them. I commuted, year-round, by bike for 19 years. As I recall, my NiteRider Pro light cost around $300-$400. (The current NiteRider Pro Endurance is $449.99) It had high and low beams. There were also instructions on how to mount it properly to show the trail/road. Part of my commute was on roads/trails with no lights and I wanted good lights.

I knew plenty of people that thought a $15 light was fine, as well as a number who said they didn't need lights.
>Check out pictures or videos of ‘people in wheelchairs’ at Southwest Airline gates who sit in a wheelchair simply for priority boarding.

I fly very often, and my company has on many an occasion forced me to use Southwest Airlines.

I have taken far more flights where there was there wasn't anyone flying in a wheel chair to begin with, than ones where this is even a possibility.

Again, the people that are the loudest here are the people worried about it happening and perhaps some folks on social media platforms posting about doing it, but the inverse evidence that its a real, rampant issue is lacking, even anecdotally its inconsistent.
But let’s say you were able to see it all somehow. Your lab was also the data center, powerplant, etc. You see the fans spinning, the turbines moving, and exhaust coming out. Do you change what you do? Or do you look around, see all the others doing the same and just say welp this is the tragedy of the commons.

I think it’s clear that people generally want to move to clean energy, and use less energy as a whole. That’s a gradual path. Maybe this reinforces the thinking, but ultimately you’re still causing damage. If you really truly cared about the damage, why would you do it at all?

I’m not a big fan of lip service. Just like all these land acknowledgements. Is a criminal more “ethical” if they say “I know I’m stealing from you” as they mug you? If you cared, give back your land and move elsewhere!
That is, unfortunately, a lie. You can look at the postgres source, line 39:

https://doxygen.postgresql.org/datatype_2timestamp_8h_source...

Timestamp is a 64 bit microseconds since epoch. It's a zone-less instant. There's no "UTC" in the data stored. Times are not "converted to UTC" because instants don't have timezones; there's nothing to convert to.

I'm guessing the problem is that someone heard "the epoch is 12am Jan 1 1970 UTC" and thought "we're converting this to UTC". That is false. These are also the epoch:

* 11pm Dec 31 1969 GMT-1

* 1am Jan 1 1970 GMT+1

* 2am Jan 1 1970 GMT+2

You get the picture. There's nothing special about which frame of reference you use. These are all equally valid expressions of the same instant in time.

So somebody wrote "we're converting to UTC" in the postgres documentation. The folks writing the JDBC driver read that and now they think OffsetDateTime is a reasonable mapping and Instant is not. Even though the stored value is an instant. And the only reason all of this works is that everyone in the universe uses UTC as the default session timezone.

To make it extra confusing, Oracle (and possibly others) TIMEZONE WITH TIME ZONE actually stores a timezone. [1am Jan 1 1970 GMT+1] <> [2am Jan 1 197 GMT+2]. So OffsetDateTime makes sense there. And the generic JDBC documentation suggests that OffsetDateTime is the natural mapping for that type.

But Posgres TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE is a totally different type from Oracle TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE. In Postgres, [1am Jan 1 1970 GMT+1] == [2am Jan 1 197 GMT+2].

The most likely explanation is that the issue is not election related (for example, they knowingly allowed US bettors), but that they waited until after the election to avoid even the appearance of interfering in the election
Respectable and advisable? No. Smart? Yes.

Their audience here is the incoming administration, which is founded on party loyalty and an "us-vs-them" mindset, where "them" are the corrupt elites.

They're making a bet that whoever is prosecuting them in 4 months is going to be a lot friendlier to them if they act like victims of a vengeful democratic elite, and they're probably right. Really smart, honestly.

Heritability: Black kid born to black parents. The blackness is heritable

Innate: Albino kid born to black parents ( mutation, etc..) So here Albinism is innate to kid but not inherited.

That's a black and white definition ( for the sake of conversation). There can be intermediate states. For example even if the kid's skin is black there can be variation in skin tone, so slight mutation, but still largely inherited.
If adjacent space is less valuable, the landlord is motivated to raise Amazon's rent to compensate

Real estate is very much driven by supply and demand. Moreso than many other industries. If the adjacent space is less valuable, it gives Amazon leverage to lower its rent.
I like how it both indicates that it's evil and that it's a first-stage malicious payload. Very informative.

I guess they realized muilti-backend keras is futile? I never liked the tf.keras apis and the docs always promosed multi backend but then I guess they were never able to deliver that without breaking keras 3 changes. And even now.... "Keras 3 includes a brand new distribution API, the keras.distribution namespace, currently implemented for the JAX backend (coming soon to the TensorFlow and PyTorch backends)". I don't believe it. They are too different to reconcile under 1 api. And even if you could, I dont really see the benefit. Torch and Flax have similar goals to Keras and are imo better.

You're right thanks. The change was to 2x128 NAND for the 256 drive from the previous generation, not 2xSSD.
If the algorithms for sorting and filtering and discovering aren't open source, a social app is not open. It really is that simple. Some open source artifact on your device wrapping proprietary code on a server is not in the category of "open source products" because the only parts that matter are entirely closed. "My HTML front end is licensed MIT" does not make your product which is entirely dependent on secret sauce in your back end open source. Enough with the bullshit. Labels matter and if the current generation on this site doesn't understand something as fundamental as open vs proprietary, we're all screwed.
I wonder what he will be working on?

Maybe he figured out a model that beats ARC-AGI by 85%?
The comparison to allergies s interesting: if your kid is allergic to peanuts, every food item in the house will be screened for peanuts, and if you still keep some it will be in a protected place.

What the equivalent would be for flashing lights ? Would you be sitting with the kid at the start of every single episode/content he watches to read the warning labels ? If we look at the Pokemon incident, it was one episode amount hundreds, so just cutting off whole series wouldn't work.

And there's also the additional burden of providing alternatives. For a school restaurant, they can replace a peanut butter sandwich with a donut it won't be a big deal. You can't replace a Pokemon episode with a Digimon one and go on with the story the next week, your kid will still want to watch the episode, and the airing company will probably drag their feet at providing costly alternatives.

Long story short, I see having the safe version as default to be the more viable choice, with the unsafe version as the alternative fans have to seek to find, probably at cost.
Probably functional enough that a veteran pilot would know how to operate the plane

Maybe, but landlords like saving money and might opt to do away with the broker middleman rather than eat the cost.
A lot might depend on how long a lease was signed, and what penalties there might be for breaking it.

I think it's the perception that your comment assumes that the accusations by Polymarket that the Biden admin are targeting them for predicting Trump are true.
By "replicate" do you mean creating a compatible third-party replacement hardware module, or copying all the data onto a different card?

Cloning an SSD's data is something we should stop expecting to be straightforward in a world with self-encrypting drives. Restoring from backup is the right approach.
Right, I doubt it lower prices but it will save people money on the buyer side. I don't know how you would lower prices in NYC other than building even more.

Why does the Tech Press avoid doing any Integrated GPU Accelerated Blender 3D Cycles rendering tests as the Apple M series SOCs support that. And that's faster and uses less power than any Cycles CPU rendering that's slower and more power hungry.

Now the x86 SOCs have really Poor iGPU compute API support and Blender 3D 3.0/later editions have no support for OpenCL as the Blender Foundation decided to drop that OpenCL support long ago where Blender 3D's iGPU/dGPU compute API support is mostly via Nvidia's CUDA or Apple's Metal mostly.

But What About Intel's OneAPI/Level-0 and AMD's ROCm/HIP and the tech press never really looks into why for AMD that ROCm/HIP is not really supported for AMD's Integrated Graphics and I have not seen anyone doing any testing of Intel's OneAPI/Level-0 for any iGPU accelerated Blender 3D Cycles rendering.

Apple's iGPUs on their M series processors are well supported for non gaming graphics applications for the most part but what about the x86 makers iGPUs and Blender 3D's iGPU accelerated cycles rendering should be on a regular roster of testing.

Why is there so much fragmentation now for Integrated Graphics and some Standard iGPU compute API and OpenCL was supposed to be the cross platform answer to that but really long before there was any Apple M series processors OpenCL never really progressed much on Linux and Apple moved on to using Metal while Nvidia has always favored its CUDA Graphics and Compute API.

But the Phoronix Automated test suite has more tests than then ones that Phoronix has chosen to list in the Article so there's usually a link to the remainder of the tests and I'd rather there be some iGPU testing done as that's being ignored for the most part in favor of mostly CPU cores testing as if the iGPUs on the processors do not even exist! And there's quite a bit more FP compute on the makers respective iGPUs that can come in handy for more than just Gaming workloads!
Landlords who have many apartments to rent every year have a lot more leverage over brokers than renters who are generally renting at the very most once a year. So when landlords are forced to pay the fee that have more optionality to negotiate the fee down.

Even now, when a landlord has a lot of available apartments they need to move or when the market is soft (for example during peak COVID), they’ll typically offer a “1 month OP.” Meaning the landlord pays the broker a 1 month’s rent fee, and the broker markets the apartment to renters as no fee. Even if the landlord just roles that into the rent, it’s a savings over the 12-15% fee standard today.

Also, landlords with larger buildings or geographic density are already figuring out that they can rent apartments cheaper with a few salaried leasing agents, instead of paying brokers. If more of them are forced to internalize the broker fee, more of them will figure that out.

Show HN: Everyperch – Make offers on any property
Hey HN! We're Luke and Varun, and we built something to fix an annoying problem in real estate: reaching homeowners directly. Current options are spam calls, junk mail, or agents cold knocking with "thinking about selling?"

Instead, we have local agents hand-deliver real offers to owners. Enter any address, submit your offer ($49), and an agent delivers it in person. They get a legitimate reason to knock ("I have an offer for your home"), you reach the owner directly, and owners get real offers instead of spam.

Just launched in the US. Try it at everyperch.com. Would love your feedback on the experience and pricing.

This is our first product launch on the way to making every home for sale at a flat fee!
Super cool.

This article uses the term "evolutionary algorithm" far too narrowly and it is causing a lot of confusion in the comments. I would STRONGLY recommend checking out the book "Evolutionary Optimization Algorithms" by Dan Simon[1]. It is incredibly readable. The type being referred to in the article is the classic "Genetic Algorithm" variant of evoluationary algorithms. But genetic programming, evolutionary programming, simulated annealing, ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, differential evolution, estimation of distribution algorithms, biogeography-based optimizations, cultural algorithms, and opposition-based learning algorithms are just a few examples of other types of evolutionary algorithms.

In general, they are a great approach to solving any non-convex optimization problem where gradient descent is not a practical choice.

As someone who has worked in ecommerce for decades, Shopify is fantastic.

It's not the cheapest, nor is it the most expensive. It's not as powerful as some systems, but it's not weak. It's not the easiest system to work with, but it's also not the hardest.

What it is is right in the goldilocks zone, and it allows businesses to DO BUSINESS, not end up having to worry about or even think about many decisions.

Day-to-day I work across 4 ecommerce platforms and Shopify is the one that doesn't keep anyone awake at night and "just works". Sure there's a ton more stuff some of the other platforms we use can do, but we also have a LOT more meetings, dev tickets and headaches with those platforms.

For like 80%+ of 0 to $50m+ online businesses it is by far the best choice because it means the team can focus on connecting with potential customers and selling stuff and not have to allocate nearly as much time or headspace to the Storefront system.
