As a retro enthusiast I am not on Facebook or on any social media websites except maybe this one. Too often these days there is an assumption that we have presence on social media.

I don't think this is true. If you look at the M4 MacBook Pro spec pages, it says Thunderbolt 4 for the base model, and Thunderbolt 5 for the M4 Pro models...

Temperature is not just an anthropomorphic concept, and temperature and entropy are directly linked concept you can't have one without the other.
One useful trick is to treat each conversation as a game in which you have to discover the most interesting thing about the other person. Often, a conversation partner that seems boring is reserved, shy, or waiting for a social signal that it's okay to deviate from the topics you've listed (which can provide an 'in' to the really interesting stuff).
That assumes you only use apple devices for everything.
Thanks Simon, I guess it was a brain fart, because I'm sure I've used this formatting a lot in the past.
Good to know. I was just adding to what you said that even if you don't get a positive result before a colonoscopy, the colonoscopy might not be covered as preventative care. Insurance just really doesn't want to cover it.
I assume the subtext of this submission is: "Perhaps this kind of scenario could explain the current zeitgeist of people worrying about flying objects."
The presence or absence of wolves in Yellowstone result in quite different ecosystems. It would be hard to see how ancient humans would not similarly alter it.
It's a test-of-time talk. The point was to let him have a moment to brag and celebrate about the success of GANs, 10 years later.
In classical thermodynamics, the entropy of a system is defined if and only if it is in a thermodynamic equilibrium.
Yep! It's just that uv installs everything fast enough to run scripts comfortably.

Another reason that the article and other comments here are missing is the zero-rating deals that WhatsApp has with virtually all mobile providers, at least in Mexico. Your phone's plan will cover calls and an internet connection up to a certain data cap, but WhatsApp's data usage is uncapped. So, if you want to chat with a less mainstream app you'd end up paying more.

I always laughed at the supposed benefit from moving high school start times an hour later with the claim that teens need more sleep. They'd need to move it three or four hours later; getting up at 8:00 instead of 7:00 is not a big difference when your body wants you to sleep for another three or four hours.
Did we really need to research this? An early televised documentary series, The Flintstones, made this clear more than 60 years ago.

One of the biggest usability problems with Python dependencies is that the name you import might be different from the name that you use to install the package.

So if you find some script on the web that has an `import foo` at the top, you cannot just `pip install foo`. Instead, you'll have to do some research into which package was originally used. Maybe it's named `pyfoo` or `foolib`.

Compare that to for example Java, which does not have that problem, thanks to Reverse Domain Name Notation. That is a much better system.

It also matches the sad stereotype that middle management types with no real clue what their staff do, need to see bums on seats to have any concept of worker productivity because they're incapable of measuring the actual productivity of their reports.
except customer is not always right at private schools, the school makes the rules, you get to sign the agreement and then pay a bunch of money and the stfu. my kid goes to private school, no electronics of any kind are allowed. over the years many parents bitched about it which went as good as you can imagine - “there are many other options for your child’s education…”
That's an excellent point, and of course individuals can have pretty stark differences in metabolism, with the alcohol flush reaction being a great and highly visible example.

"Carnot’s book was largely disregarded by the scientific community, and he died several years later of cholera. His body was burned, as were many of his papers." Poetic? albeit depressing.
When you do active shooter drills during school three or four times a year, then yes that sort of creates and reinforces a skewed perspective on the real risk.

Like, what difference does it make anyway if the kid can or cannot text the parent? Not like the parent can alter the situation in any way.
No good developers know and understand their tools. They care for them and they learn about them. Wood carvers don't use butter knives because "good woodcarvers don't care about their experience while woodcarving".
I can't help but wonder what topics you do find interesting?
Seems like there is a need for an open format for health data that can be stored in/out of a database to avoid the app shutdown problem. Surely that exists with all the health data available via wearables ?

Most people would rather be unhealthy than dead. Seems like this report is a win for America.
I have a phone I set up specifically to disallow content consumption. It has a permanently on Downtime mode (iOS) with only a handful of apps whitelisted – mainly the ones you mentioned. The notifications are disabled, too. I don't have the parental controls passcode, I asked someone else to set it and hold on to it; so it's a lot of effort to bypass the content blocks.

I needed this to ween off social media, scrolling, mindless content consumption, otherwise it was just too convenient and easy to access all that to make the change.

Generally, this phone isn't a problem with regard to social media use or browsing. So it gets used only as a tool, and left in a drawer most of the time. My main phone is a dumbphone but with this second phone, I've not lost access to banking, work apps, etc.
We were the bag holders all along, who knew?
> A phone seems like a must-have whenever you are using public transport (e.g. a plane).

It isn't. You can still print your boarding pass (at home in advance or at an airport kiosk). Flight status and gate assignments are posted on screens all over the airport.
Right? I’ve often thought this. Light is both frustratingly fast and frustratingly slow at the same time.
It hallucinated seeing something on a jacket, and another item of clothing for a few I tried too.

It was very interesting to see when it was confused. It's not like when I think of LLM word math that I could sort of guess yeah maybe it comes up with that.

The visual hallucinations were things like "that's straight up not in the image...".
Yes, my friend is a teacher in WA and taught in private and public schools; that matches her experience.
bit of a tangent perhaps, not really even relevant to the article: i am really very hopeful that we will finally see the 'democratization' (is that the term?) of intergrated circuits, with projects like Google's SkyWater PDK and eFabless involvement, perhaps being a nascent seed that hopefully leads the way.

it really does feel to me, like the final frontier of old-style closed-source "I have $20M capital and you don't, so screw you, we make the decisions around here, and no we aren't publishing the datasheets or firmware"-world, i dare say the final holdout.

imagine having an actual open source raspberry pi. You can read back the github sha id from a control register of the repo checkin that was used to cook the masks that were used to etch your chip, the gdsii masks and netlists are just a build artifact, the verilog is all there. nobody asks for the HDMI controller datasheets anymore, because its just a github link away to see where the control registers live. Questions regarding the 3D accelerator are answered with a quick perusal of the verilog.

its so obvious that this is the future destination - atleast, to me. its just a shame that its not around right now. that there is all this politics and heavy beurocracy that stands in the way, understandably so - this stuff is super expensive, and the investors want a secure return on their investment. but imagine how cool that would be. to have chips become as commonplace as github projects.
Milk from lower yield cows doesn’t inherently taste different, there’s a wider range of breeds but you can get identical tasting milk from low yield cows.

There’s several other ways milk tends to be worse but the primary issue is simply age. It can be a long time between when a cow is milked and when you’re adding milk to your morning cereal. Which then requires various compromises in the final product.
Shoold we call the result of every election a "takeover" then?

People act like this isn't democracy in action.

It's not democracy when you get what you want. It's democracy when the vote turns out how it turns out.

I guess this is just how it's gonna be every time though huh. Last time it was red team complaining now it's blue team.
If you are saying that just based off of the linked article, I don’t think that is clear.
100% agree for elementary school, probably up until high school even.
good developers do not care, great ones do
The main reason for this, no doubt, is that in most countries with socialized healthcare, doctors are incentivised to not put a diagnosis on the patient, as that is costly.

In the US, with private health care, the incentives are the opposite.

Each has pros and cons, but there is definitely nothing to suggest that this demonstrates worse health care in US.
The drive to perform independent work with AI will fail, too many easy means of triggering backlash, and too easy to create a stagnant rent collecting automation that leaves those automated in an aged rotting infrastructure too complex and too interdependent to replace. The path forward is integrated interactive AI that co-authors, co-works, and is simultaneously verified while collaborating rather independent work requiring verification that will not be performed with integrity after the fact.
I'm in the middle of replacing all of my usage of direnv with mise [1]. It does everything direnv/asdf can (for my use cases) plus a lot more.

They really cornered the market until everything went south.
Of the list you offer, only Poetry, Hatch, PDM and Uv actually do "Python dependency management" - in the sense of offering an update command to recalculate locked versions of dependencies, a wrapper to install or upgrade those dependencies, and a wrapper to keep track of which environment they'll be installed into.

pipenv, micropipenv and pip-tools are utilities for creating records of dependencies, but don't actually "manage" those dependencies in the above sense.

Your list also includes an installer (Pip), a build backend (Setuptools - although it has older deprecated use as something vaguely resembling a workflow tool similar to modern dependency managers), a long-deprecated file format (egg) which PyPI hasn't even accepted for a year and a half (https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/discussions/package-f...), two alternative sources for Python itself (ActiveState and homebrew - and I doubt anyone has a good reason to use ActiveState any more), and two package management solutions that are orthogonal to the Python ecosystem (Conda - which was created to support Python, but its environments aren't particularly Python-centric - and Linux system package managers).

Any system can be made to look complex by conflating its parts with other vaguely related but ultimately irrelevant objects.
C being the only option doesn't make it a great option.
Raw milk isn’t inherently more flavorful than pasteurized. It’s by necessity consumed sooner which enhances the flavor profile vs milk that’s spent weeks going through the typical logistics chain before you buy it. But, the safety concerns are significant and you could also get pasteurized milk that isn’t particularly old.

I think the only point that stands is the price. Apple products are indeed more expensive in France than in the US.

However, Google Maps runs fine on iOS and you can purchase Apple products from other retailers and they will also handle warranty claims. None of my Apple products were bought from an Apple Store.
HDMI 2.1 is useless already, how many monitors halve the bandwidth of their 2.1 connector? Standards need enforcing, none of this fake HDMI 2.x bullshit.

That's fair, but I didn't understand OP to be claiming above that "cudaheads" aren't looking at their performance bottlenecks before driving work, just that they're looking at the problem incorrectly (and eg: maybe should prioritize redesigns over squeezing perf out of flawed approaches.)

IMHO Qwen are shipping the best OSS models you can run locally on consumer GPUs right now, getting great results from both qwen2.5-coder:32b and qwq:32b running at ~18 tok/s and running on older NVidia A4000 GPUs. Definitely my first choices for local workloads.

It's also great to see qwq's open chain of thought baked in a OSS LLM so you can see it reason with itself in real-time, it's the kind of secret sauce that proprietary LLMs like o1 would prefer to keep hidden to try build a moat around.

We've got a lot to thank Meta and Qwen for in continually releasing improving high quality OSS models which also encourages others to follow. High quality OSS models are the best thing keeping the cost of LLMs down, you can get unbelievable value on OpenRouter with qwen2.5-coder:32b at $0.08/$0.18 M/tok qwq:32 available at $0.15/$0.60 M/tok which is more than 18x cheaper than Anthropic's latest budget Haiku 3.5 model at $0.80/$4 M/tok (4x price hike over Haiku 3.0).

In principle, yes. In practice, there are a lot of issues with that workflow.

For example, `pip install --ignore-installed --dry-run --quiet --report` will build sdists (and run arbitrary code from `setup.py` or other places specified by a build backend) - just so that it can confirm that the downloaded sdist would produce a wheel with the right name and version. Even `pip download` will do the same. I'm not kidding. There are multiple outstanding issues on the tracker that are all ultimately about this problem, which has persisted through multiple versions of the UI and all the evolving packaging standards, going back almost the entire history of Pip.

See for example https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1884 ; I have a long list of related reports written down somewhere.

I uploaded a bunch of drawings and it explicitly mentioned "racial characteristics, ethnicity, economic status, lifestyle" could not be ascertained for almost all of the portraits. I'm not a great artist but it was able to pick up a lot of detail about everything else. I imagine the prompt is probably asking for these things and the AI is reluctant to answer, although it did say that the artist was probably male due to the art style. I am male, and I suppose my art style could be more masculine, but I don't know how to quantify that!
I got a digicert 1y with cloud signing on azure for less than $150. There are lots of resellers, and the one I found supports individuals. Now, MS should support trusted code signing ($10/mo) for individuals.

Raw milk is milk that has not undergone pasteurization or homogenization. Depending on the state (in the US), raw milk may be illegal to sell, but there are ways to work around that for the determined.

Creamline milk is milk that was pasteurized, but not homogenized, so the cream floats to the top. It doesn't store well long-term in grocery stores, but can often be found at farm-to-table stores and other specialty boutiques.

Note that the U.S. (including my parents growing up before we got milk cows) has an obsession with "reduced fat" milk. Switching from 2% milk to whole milk makes a world of difference for taste, even without going cream line.

My favorite milk was raw from our Jerseys (they have average ~5% fat compared to national average of 4% [1]), but I've had raw Jersey milk, mixed-breed creamline milk and store-bought whole milk depending on what's available, and they all taste better than 2%.

And the vast majority of those are accidental, drive by, and "escalation of dispute" per your link. These are not the kinds of shootings that parents want kids to be texting about, these are run of the mill gang activity.
