And how is it only £9,699.00!! Does that dollar price include sales tax or are Brits finally getting a bargain?
I stand corrected: 9900x. 9900xtx is a video card.
This isn't a good argument as the importance of "due process" in British and American systems differs and diverges significantly both currently and historically.

Actually if you study British history you'll find that what is most striking is that the United States is a departure from rather than a continuation of British legal or governance norms.

I wish for that machine too; and the price delta between the Macs is why I expect this will never happen. And unfortunately, I'd rather spend the extra bucks than go back to 60hz.

Apple seems quite content with making 120hz a feature of "Pro" models across the line (iPads, iPhones, Macs).
Damn that was the first podcast I ever listened frequently.

Memes are shared because they are both funny and relatable, and get their message across concisely. In order for any joke to land, the audience has to already be somewhat receptive.

> These communities attribute social events to hidden plots and the manipulative power of a shadowy elite.

It's not a conspiracy, shadowy elites acting in groups with hidden agendas do exist everywhere. Just to pick one secretive group embedded everywhere with large amounts of power, the Masons [1]. From 1999 to 2009 in the UK it was required that Masons declared their membership if working in positions such as judges and police officers, with a concern that there would be bias. I think that people in these positions should have to declare all potential significant conflicts of interest. I have personally seen how Masons have financially favoured one another.

Secretive elite groups exist everywhere you care to look, but rarely cross paths with the likes of academia. I know of one that doesn't even appear on the internet but is at least several hundred years old. If there is a measurable force acting but you cannot see it, it's either random chance, an emergent behaviour or it literally is a force acting against you.

> Meme of a woman yelling at a cat, one of the most recurrent, with a sexist message related to the coronavirus.

Just because the meme happens to be a woman, does not make it sexist by default. The message is essentially pointing out the possible hypocrisy of caring about your respiratory health and not your sexual health. It would be somewhat akin to eating healthy whilst knocking back a cocktail of street drugs. The underlining claim of the meme is essentially "you don't actually care about this, but you're trying to convince me that you do".

> Another purpose of these messages is to attract new members, explains Brit Davidson, associate professor of analytics at IDSB and co-author of the study: “The humor in memes is likely a key factor in attracting new members to these groups, including people who may not be aware of the full context and impact of the misinformation.”

I think what we actually witness is an international decentralised grassroots ideology. I think there is such an interest because they are not coming to the conclusions that are wanted by long standing establishments (academia, finance, governments, etc). Worse still, these incorrect conclusions appear to be internationally agreed upon.

This is a symptom of a more general problem that I named (clumsily... "Rerender/Reflow/Repopulation Delayed Interaction Timeout Missing") in a 2017 blog post!

I consider it by far the most annoying bug in touch UI's today.

Solution: There must be a small interaction-ignoring delay instituted when any control has just moved to its final rendered location.

100%. I had my first obviously AI-written email the other day, and that was one of the clear tells.

I was trying to figure out what made it so obvious, the dashes were one thing, the other things I noticed were:

- Bits of the text were in bold.

- The tone was horrible, very cringe. Full of superlatives, adjectives and cliches.

- I live somewhere where English is the third language, most people don't write emails in English without a few spelling or grammar mistakes.

- Nor do they write in paragraphs.

- It's also pretty unusual to get a quick reply.

Lots of these things are positive, I guess. I'm glad folks are finding it easier to communicate quickly and relatively effectively across languages, but it did kinda make me never want to do business with them again.

For an entire career and beyond (to support themselves after retirement)? For their spouse and children too?

If you're single and flexible to move away if any part of that calculation changes it's definitely a great deal, but the more attachments you have in life, the worse the deal becomes arguably.

> Because people in the aforementioned circles can retire in their 30s, and spend the rest of their lives traveling the world, taking care of their family, and pursing their passions without worries. Is that somehow controversial?

I think you have an unrealistically rosy view of the average outcome here. I work in this field, and people "retiring in their 30s and traveling the world while providing for their family and pursuing their passions" is still an extreme outlier.

> Ok, so tell me, what are things people want?

Maybe I'm an outlier here too, but personally, I value long-term societal stability and safety quite highly, as I don't have many illusions about being able to buy my way out of certain kinds of problems caused by a large and increasing rift between people of various income levels.

This is the pretty obvious answer. I'm looking at replacing my gen-3 iPad Air from 2019 because it's feeling pretty pokey now. (And my wife's gen-1 iPad Air from 2013 is entirely unusable.)
The Asahi maintainer resigned recently. What that means for the future only time will tell. I probably wouldn't want to make a big investment in it right now.
Not commenting on general trends, but in the specific case of this story: sometimes reality itself just isn't nuanced and one side is simply wrong. The current US administration's economic policy is disastrous. I don't see this is as a political statement, just a statement of fact. You don't have to be left leaning to agree with this statement.

It's hard to imagine what "nuanced" takes one can make in good faith. The traditional defense of Trump's tariff threats that I've heard the most is that he isn't planning on actually doing it, that it's all 5D chess to force Canada and Mexico into concessions (whatever those may be). But that defense has been rendered obsolete by the fact that the tariffs are now here. So what nuance are you looking for, exactly? What is there left to say in defense of this economic policy?
I think it’s more so important to get familiar with loop/event based programming. Most of my experience is in the request/response mindset of web requests so when I try out game dev, arduino dev, C# desktop apps, etc I find my mental model has to shift drastically

Loops occur so fast it’s pretty standard to have to put some throttling logic in the code which I’ve never had to do in web dev except perhaps the document.ready statement in JavaScript to make sure the dom has been loaded.
I still occasionally use a 2013 Air when I need a laptop. How no PC manufacturer has been able to get close to Apple's touchpad in two decades is crazy to me.
Bacteria, parasites and other nasty things live in it.

I'm being vague because if you need a more detailed answer you really need to break open academic papers and spend years reading them, not try to figure things our from a discussion forum. (I only need the discussion forum version so I don't know more than the above)

> I do not run any Apple Services on my Mac hardware

Not even OCSP?
> This hardware is really being held back by the operating system at this point.

It really is. Even if they themselves won't bring back their old XServe OS variant, I'd really appreciate it if they at least partnered with a Linux or BSD (good callout, ryao) dev to bring a server OS to the hardware stack. The consumer OS, while still better (to my subjective tastes) than Windows, is increasingly hampered by bloat and cruft that make it untenable for production server workloads, at least to my subjective standards.

A server OS that just treats the underlying hardware like a hypervisor would, making the various components attachable or shareable to VMs and Containers on top, would make these things incredibly valuable in smaller datacenters or Edge use cases. Having an on-prem NPU with that much RAM would be a godsend for local AI acceleration among a shared userbase on the LAN.
I grew up being taught to urinate on our rhubarb patches.
I know Apple wants to differentiate ProMotion as a Pro feature, but even non-tech people I know are wondering why Android phones run smoother than iPhones. Stuff that would be completely unheard of purely because of how noticeable 60hz vs 120hz is.

Actual reputational damage is going on because of these poor decisions, I’m not surprised iPhones are struggling to obtain new market share. They just look like old and slow phones to most normal people now, “look how nice and smooth it looks” is such an easy selling point compared to trying to pretend people care about whatever Apple Intelligence is.
To expatiate with perspicuity:

The Apple ecosystem is a walled garden.
“Some level of floating currency is clearly most reasonable solution. But just how is still very open question.”

I think the answer is to tie it to lifespan.

How many years does it take for a family to purchase a home on the gold standard? 200? 350?

In our time, we have turned the dial so far that some families can purchase a home in five years.

So it becomes a question of expansion over time for real people - and nobody wants to live in a world where it takes 400 years to save for a house.

Perhaps, however, it should take more than five…

Because of the T2 chip it's actually pretty annoying. Mainline kernels I think are still missing keyboard and trackpad support for those models. Plus a host of other issues.
> But Apple is also not interested in that market, so this will probably never happen.

they're just a tiny company with shareholders who are really tired of never earning back their investments. give 'em a break. I mean they're still so small that they must protect themselves by requiring that macs be used for publishing iPhone and iPad applications.
I remember an Adam Curtis documentary called The Power of Nightmares, in it, there are examples of making people scared, threats and anxiety to achieve political ends. Neoconservatives believed that making people scared about threats not only helps in actions against the perceived threat but helps increase social cohesion. They wanted people to come together in their worry, to form new social bonds shared by being scared about a common enemy.

The documentary gives the examples of Neocons's hyping up the threat about Islamic terrorism and Saddam's Weapons of Mass Destruction. It's really rather good.

I'm always wary of earnest calls for people to be scared. Scared people are scary.

My code is just iterating over the relevant points.

Line 186:187 is the trick to group negative probabilities. You can't apply this if you want to take into account a payout structure which depends on the result.

The more flexible version is Line 421, where you don't use this inverse probability trick, and instead of recomputing proba from scratch could use a precomputed array of 3^14 random element.

Both version should return the same result. You have two boolean useNaive and neighborInBetSpace (4 possibilities) which allows to choose the summation strategy to use, it should give the same results.

I tried understanding your code, but I have trouble understanding the recurrence relation, and where it comes from. In particular how do you make sure you avoid double counting (The neighborhood of a neighborhood contain the original point).

My experiments are about understanding your algorithm in terms of things I understand, namely loop optimizations, partitioning, reordering and memoization. I am trying to make the structure emerge from simple code transformations (to guarantee exactitude). This process usually consist into writing nested loops with everything being recomputed inside the innermost loop, and then find a way to reuse the computations.

Fast code is about memory usage and recomputing from a small cache is often faster than materializing a big array.
I do. One of the first customizations I make on a new Linux install is mapping the compose key—em-dashes are then <compose> followed by two dashes.

On Mac, it's configured by default: <option>+<shift>+dash

It would really be disappointing if typographic pedants start being falsely accused of being AI.
They’re a bit confused and not comparing the same compute.

Pretty sure they’re comparing Nvidia’s gpu to Apple’s npu.

old.reddit is nice but it feels like having a conversation while on death row - still a couple of appeals pending but the endgame is not really in doubt.

The end of RedditIsFun (https://www.reddit.com/r/redditisfun/) was the end of my Reddit era - I'm still on r/askHistorians, r/askScience and a couple of niche leftovers, but I stopped moderating - the interests of the platform and its users have obviously diverged.
We are so back! I have a photo somewhere with Kevin at SXSW from 2005-ish? His hak5 episode taught me how to use L0phtCrack to steal and crack SAM files.

While Elon Musk finds chess too boring and simple and that's why he has more money than Theil.
You really want me to acknowledge that $2T so I will. The Republican Party started 2 wars and spent trillions of dollars. The democrats spent billions in dollars in military aid. Neither party achieved their objectives, both parties had their positions reversed after they were electorally defeated. Hundreds of thousands of people have died because of these mistakes.

And now you think the US should default on the debt so money is worth money again? Is that not tautological?

And the argument is that war should be expensive? If the US can default on this old debt and create dollar 3.0 what would stop it from defaulting on this new “real” money in the future? New money, new wars, new debts, new defaults.
Why is that an issue? I don't think anyone is given mandatory tests for estrogen.

> uses an _embedded_ silicon interposer

It sounds like they're using TSMC's new LSI (Local Si Interconnect) technology, which is their version of Intel's EMIB. It's essentially small islands of silicon, just around the inter-chip connections, embedded within the organic substrate. This gives the advantages of silicon interconnect, without the cost and size restrictions of a silicon interposer. It would not be visible from just looking at the package.

Show HN: Latitude Agents, the first autonomous agent platform built for the MCP
Hi HN, I'm excited to share Latitude Agents—the first autonomous agent platform built for the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

With Latitude Agents, you can design, evaluate, and deploy self-improving AI agents that integrate directly with your tools and data.

We've been working on agents for a while, and continue to be impressed by the things they can do. When we learned about the Model Context Protocol, we knew it was the missing piece to enable truly autonomous agents.

MCP servers were first thought out as an extension for local AI tools (i.e Claude Desktop) so they aren't easily hostable in a shared environment – most only support stdio for comms and they all rely on runtime env vars for configuration.

This meant that to support MCPs for all our users we needed to:

1. Adapt MCPs to support TCP comms
2. Host the MCP server for each of our users

Whenever you create an MCP integration in Latitude, we automatically provision a docker container to run it. The container is exposed in a private VPC only accessible from Latitude's machines.

This gives your MCP out-of-the-box authentication through our API/SDKs.

It's not all wine and roses, of course. Some MCPs require local installation and some manual set up to work properly, which makes them hard for us to host. We are working on potential solutions to this so stay tuned.

We are starting with support for 20+ MCP servers, and we expect to be at 100+ by end of month.

Latitude is free to use and open source, let me know what you think!
I hope that other countries including the five eyes will also stop sharing intel with US...

I think that was around the time when macbooks were "fast enough", especially since that was when SSDs became the default. I remember I got my first macbook around 2011/12 and at the time doing your own upgrade of memory and replacing the hard drive with an SSD was a pretty popular DIY upgrade (N=1).
