My Spotify account from 2013 predates paid subscriptions on YouTube (2015). I’ve played around with the YTM app, but was not convinced. Also, I don’t want any video with my music, can YTP guarantee I’ll never have my bandwidth wasted by it, and I won’t have music video-specific additions in my ears?
What does soldering it to the board have to do with reliability?

If they were soldered onto those systems you talk about, all those would have had to be replaced instead of just having the drive swapped out and re-imaged.
This is an important point, and thanks for pointing that out in this discussion.

The reason why raising interest rates breaks inflation is usually because it chokes off economic activity to a point where labor ceases to have bargaining ability to ask for higher wages, which then chokes demand, which then helps bring supply and demand back into equilibrium and breaks the inflationary spiral.

It's a mechanism that is quite clear, but also rarely discussed in polite company, because "breaking the bargaining power of labor by intentionally choking economic activity to create enough unemployment" is, when spelled out, prone to creating pretty emotional reactions.
I don’t think you are going to convince people to start liking or agreeing with Paul Krugman with your posts. People criticize him because they have read his stuff. The dude has been a very public figure for a very long time.

At some point “Actually he is good and strong and smart and he is my friend” posts start sounding more like a fandom argument than anything actually salient to a discussion about any particular economic subject.

Great piece. I recruit engineers and data scientists. Have had one clear instance of a candidate sneakily using an LLM during the interview, to answer a verbal scenario question.

Trouble is I work in a lab building GenAI products. You can't play a player. Remember kids, your fingers move when they type and your eyeballs move left to right when you're reading.

CV was also full of exaggerations that were generated.

Candidate rejected without feedback. We were lucky, suspect someone else has been stuck with the gpt copy&paster.

Back in the day, my top three websites I would visit were: 1) Slashdot 2) Digg 3) Reddit

At the time, Reddit was extremely small and looked a lot like Hacker News does now, except that the content was about 1/3 nerd-related, 1/3 mainstream news, and 1/3 was people's experiences and questions about recreational drugs. (Which I was not and am not into.) I'm not sure if there were even subreddits at that point.
My buying strategy has been the same since they started soldering RAM: buy the lowest spec CPU/GPU they offer with the amount of RAM I will need (which all but once has always been the maximum RAM they offer, which unfortunately usually means also buying the max CPU/GPU).

My main point is that the MAID vs wheel chair ramp is basically the only example of that happening I've ever seen where someone with a minor ask was 'pushed' towards MAID instead. There's rare but recurring then there's 'we have one extreme example' in the case of the vet wheel chair ramp.

> Doctors refusing abortions and the mother dying as a result, even though the law allowed abortion in such cases

Depends on what law you're talking about in the US some have quite unclear provisions and doctors and hospitals are wary of stepping into unclear water and having to litigate exactly how in danger the life of the mother was at that exact moment.
I'm pretty sure for Instagram it's by design, not because of their technical stack.

This is absolutely great ! , something absolutely minimalist instead of nix os , that being said , I am interested in seeing full source bootstrapped point within wasm / libriscv as well.

Personally I wish that this can somehow be even more "better" in my opinion if this can replace containers themselves. I had once seen somebody comment that they wanted to create a gcloud course and wanted to provide a shell like environment with all gcloud tools etc., that too , cross platform but they felt docker was too heavy for such use case , so they used nix for it.

I am also wondering how cool this can be where this can be used to create things like appimage or all the other things. Since this is reproducible, we can create a such dockerfile to .deb / .pkg.tar.zst and so much more.

Damn. This is crazy idea considering you don't have to trust anybody or any code , I wish for something like zkvm combined with this where with just source code and a proof , you can verify that somebody built it and maybe even distribute it , the problem I suppose is that zkvm doesn't prove things running over the internet ( I think)

If you are in Europe, there is a very nice OSS software called Hibiscus [1] with APIs-connectivity for most banks, and (local) web scrapers for those banks that have no APIs.

I am working on a plugin to pull categories and transactions from the Hibiscus DB (H2 or PG) to Beancount [2]. It is not there yet, but the process overall looks promising.

The moderation is hyper partisan on all sides. Not just the left.

I’ve had accounts banned along the the entire ecosystem of libertarians solely for the audacity of asserting that there were people who described themselves as socialist libertarians, and not declaring that there were five lights and that the philosophy did not exist.

The admins don’t care unless it hurts advertising dollars. Reddits leadership has been very consistent on this practice ever since the early days like with u/violentacrez and the jailbait subreddit
Optimistically, it is both. While biased moderation has turned more than a few places sour, it's certainly not the greatest problem with these platforms. That said, having an algo whose biases are agnostic to individual users isn't a bad thing imho. In theory, it could free moderators/community leaders up to do more constructive things.

On the other hand, this whole thing could be a cash grab for AI training data money.
I believe that there are barn designs that capture urine.
What people who did not actually work with this stuff in practice don't realize is the above statement only holds for batch size 1, sequence size 1. For processing the prompt you will need to read all the weights (which isn't a problem, because prefill is compute-bound, which, in turn is a problem on a weak machine like this Mac or an "EPYC build" someone else mentioned). Even for inference, batch size greater than 1 (more than one inference at a time) or sequence size of greater than 1 (speculative decoding), could require you to read the entire model, repeatedly. MoE is beneficial, but there's a lot of nuance here, which people usually miss.
I did this recently with a new Mac Mini that I set up. MacOS recently added the ability to locate the home directories on any volume. There's a somewhat hidden feature too that if you drag the Applications directory onto an external drive it will move selected apps there (the larger ones like Pages, etc.); combine that with the option in the App Store to keep large downloads on a separate disk.

So far it's been working quite well with the exception that VSCode does not seem to understand how to update itself if you keep it in the external Applications folder: every time it tries to update itself it just deletes itself instead. Moved it back into the /Applications folder and it's been fine.

No, it shows your priorities are screwed.

You seem to care about privacy to the point you risking Firefox selling your data based on a misinterpretation of a badly worded TOS, but have no problem letting random closed source binaries hook into the lowest level of your closed source OS which itself is known to be a privacy nightmare and not at all trustworthy.
This doesn't have anything specifically to do with the new hardware. They've had the ability to securely offload operations to their cloud-based LLM since the launch of Apple Intelligence.

I like to use Go error handling for providing curated error messages for each possible point of failure.

Stack traces in other languages do this in a way, but are often unreadable and require manually inspecting each function in the trace to figure out the reason of the bug. Even worse if some function in the middle catches the original exception and returns another exception, completely devoid of the former's context and information.

Even worse if you're using any kind of framework that renders stack traces useless ala async Rust or Java Spring. All you get is a bunch of noise from framework and almost nothing from your program.

In Go, most of the errors I get are chains of carefully written messages, e.g. "request failed: write file: create: directory does not exist". And given that errors are just values and not tied to a stack, they can internally be passed through channels in all kinds of complex goroutine pipelines, and not lose any information.

Go basically makes your life worse, until you get used to writing meaningful context-relevant messages and thinking about errors. Which in turn makes your life a lot easier when diagnozing and debugging an issue.

I'm pretty sure most of the crops in the US are regularly sprayed in urine and shit. Many of the immigrant workers used on farms are treated like slaves, locked up when they aren't in the fields or kept in overcrowded housing without basic utilities. These workers aren't getting bathroom breaks.

Even on farms that don't treat their workers so poorly they aren't installing bathrooms in the middle of the fields they truck workers out to, or ferrying them back and forth all day either. Workers couldn't afford take the time to run off to the bathroom even if they had the option. They have quotas to meet and are paid by how much they get done in a day. They're not walking off the job site to use the bathroom. They'll just piss/shit on your veggies and smile to themselves as they think about Americans who don't wash their produce.
Ooof yeah that hits hard.

If you run the benchmarks longer (i.e. more than a couple hundred milliseconds - the above benchmarks use validation values from the original benchmarksgame, not the ones used for evaluating performance), you will see a different picture:

Building effective recommendation and search systems means going beyond simply predicting relevance. Modern users expect personalized experiences that cater to a wide range of needs and preferences, and businesses need systems that align with their overarching goals. This requires optimizing for multiple objectives simultaneously – a complex challenge that demands a nuanced approach. This post explores the concept of value modeling and multi-objective optimization (MOO), summarizing a survey paper by Jannach & Abdollahpouri from 2022 and explaining how these techniques enable the development of more sophisticated and valuable recommendation and search experiences.

Omg I despise the fact that there's n competing GUI standards on linux, zero visual consistency.

I love diversity in websites, and apps for that matter, but this isn't diversity, it is the uncanny valley between bespoke graphic design and homogeneity.

Say what you want about SwiftUI, but it makes consistent, good looking apps. Unless something has changed, GTK is a usability disaster.

And that's before I get into how much both X11 and wayland suck equally.

There's so much I miss about Linux, but there's so much I don't
>so I have to periodically close chrome and reopen and restore last session.

I thought ublock was forced out of Chrome months ago... how are you people still using it? I switched back to Firefox a couple years ago already, even if it's occasionally painful.
I think the other big thing is that the base model finally starts at a normal amount of memory for a production machine. You can't get less than 96GB. Although an extra $4000 for the 512GB model seems Tim Apple levels of ridiculous. There is absolutely no way that the different costs anywhere near that much at the fab.

And the storage solution still makes no sense of course, a machine like this should start at 4TB for $0 extra, 8TB for $500 more, and 16TB for $1000 more. Not start at a useless 1TB, with the 8TB version costing an extra $2400 and 16TB a truly idiotic $4600. If Sabrent can make and sell 8TB m.2 NVMe drives for $1000, SoC storage should set you back half that, not over double that.

Everyone knows that an Electron app consumes a lot of RAM. Take Slack for example. Running slack in a tab in a browser uses less RAM than running the Electron app for Slack.

The joke being that Apple realized that so many apps are built in Electron and made a decision to provide a shit ton of RAM to just to handle Electron. It seems very on point to the discussion
Another very beneficial double-check is asserting account balances at certain dates.

You give beancount the balances at the end of each month straight from your bank / broker statements, and it throws an error if your transactions don't match up.
You have to be specific about which model you're referring to. OpenAI DeepResearch does not have a slider, and does follow when you say to only use academic sources.
I know it's common for everyone to shit on Google here on HN, but I have to say, I do like the AI overviews. They're easy to ignore and sometimes helpful... and I've seen lots of non-tech friends and family using them. I really don't get the vehement hatred the tech / HN community has for this feature (nor do I get the common complaint that "Google search is useless," it works better than all the others for me...)
Why would an app have automatic updates? The OS package manager handles this just fine.

We do. Common people don't. It's easier to write "over half a terabyte" than explain (again) to millions of people what the power of two is.

Companies are already talking about that. At least, I've been to a few conferences where SAIO (I forgot what they called it) was mentioned and elaborated upon.

I vaguely remember that it was elaborated upon to build a whole suite of tools that could predict what the chances are - given the content that you have - that you too would rank in the AI overview.
It's true that seeing that number next to $400 next to 16GB is agony, but a 32GB 1TB 15" M4 Air for $2k is a hell of a deal. I have the upgraded M1 Air and after using it for a few years, (1) I still have no reason to upgrade and (2) it's worth more to me than whatever paid.

> MacOS doesn't have the fundamental ecosystem problems that beget the need for docker.

Anyone wanting to run and manage their own suite of Macs to build multiple massive iOS and Mac apps at scale, for dozens or hundreds or thousands of developers deploying their changes.

xcodebuild is by far the most obvious "needs native for max perf" but there are a few other tools that require macOS. But obviously if you have multiple repos and apps, you might require many different versions of the same tools to build everything.

Sounds like a perfect use case for native containers.
> I, however, still spend between 20 and 30 minutes once a week to keep by beancount updated by manually entering the transactions

That sounds a lot - I spend less.

Consider entering the transactions into a software like KMyMoney and write a script to export to beancount format. Entering/importing is a lot easier in a SW like KMyMoney (e.g. it does decent matching of the new transaction to prior transactions of similar amounts).
It was a deliberate attempt to deprive Native Americans of their historical means of support. You can't besiege a Native American city because they had already been pushed off their historical lands. But if you can eliminate a major source of food for them, it's possibly even more effective.

In general people under-estimate the capability of humanity to eradicate other forms of life. We've managed to eliminates organisms as plentiful as things like rinderpest for example. Large animals are actually easier. Were it not for a last minute change, almost all forms of whales would have been extinct in the 20th century. We've been the most advanced life form on Earth for a long time, possibly even before modern humans arrived. But in the past 1000 years or so we really became the most dominant life form. Our population has exploded and we can pretty much push out any other form of life we choose.

Yea ive been thinking about this for a few years. The Mx series’s chip would sell into data centers like crazy if apple went after that market. Especially if they created a server tuned chip. It could probably be their 2nd biggest product line behind the iphone. The performance and efficiency is awesome. I guess it would be meat to see some web serving and database benchmarks to really know.

> both get the fastest single core performance AND all the cores

I'm a major Apple skeptic myself, but hasn't there always been a tradeoff between "fastest single core" vs "lots of cores" (and thus best multicore)?

For instance, I remember when you could buy an iMac with an i9 or whatever, with a higher clock speed and faster single core, or you could buy an iMac Pro with a Xeon with more cores, but the iMac (non-Pro) would beat it in a single core benchmark. Note: Though I used Macs as the example due to the simple product lines, I thought this was pretty much universal among all modern computers.
