Yeah but old Digg wasn't as good as Reddit in its heyday.

It definitely feels like the internet peaked like 5-10 years ago. Reddit was good, Stackoverflow was tolerable, I didn't use Twitter but I guess that was better too.
Are these really cost effective for that usecase?

Always great to hear from people on the far side of the valley of despair. I don't think it is pointed out enough that people who fall off of "mount stupidity" can sometimes get really really stuck. In my experience when they do that at work it is quite traumatic.

Another good book for the author and others is "5 Elements of Effective Thinking" by Burger & Starbird. It thinks about thinking which can sometimes side step the depression of suddenly not thinking you know anything about anything that accompanies that big drop off mount stupid.

Import substitution industrialization is a pretty well established method to foster industries and frankly works really well for developing states (or did until the entire international system started conspiring to turn you into a pariah state for trying it). You can't export something you're not making in the first place. But it is quite unusual for a fully developed, post-industrial economy to try and move back down the value chain and manufacture more stuff again so who knows what happens when we try that.

Not in the Apple Silicon line. The M2 Ultra has the same single core performance as the M2 Max and Pro. No benchmarks for the M3 Ultra yet but I'm guessing the same vs M3 Max and Pro.
Hell I’m just sitting here hoping the future M5 adopts SVE. Not even SVE2.
I started paying for YT Premium a few months ago, despite hating the Google ecosystem. Figured I'd attempt to support the creators I watch.

I think it really comes down to your own workflow. You sometimes want to be more imperative (select the sources yourself to generate a report) and sometimes more declarative (let a DFS/BFS algo go and split a query into subqueries and go down rabbit holes until some depth and then aggregate).

Been trying different ways of optimizing the former but I am fascinated by the more end to end flows systems like STORM do.
This is really cool! Thank you for submitting it!

It is worth noting this is for the purpose of video games or visual effects not for scientific/operational simulations of the ocean.

Daily operational wave forecasts are available from NOAA's WaveWatch3 model here https://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/waves/wavewatch/ . These data products are wildly used by a variety of services including surf forecasts.

NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory also publishes nice graphics of the WaveWatch3 forecast for the great lakes https://www.glerl.noaa.gov/emf/waves/WW3/

There will be a few things you’ll want to do to minimize nitrogen loss. As soon as it’s out, it going to start turning into ammonia and as a gas, it will escape. (The ammonia itself has useful properties, and it’s why urine has been used for all sorts of processes in history(. Making the ‘outputs’ fairly acidic or basic will help keep the nitrogen from leaving in that way. Add vinegar so that the low pH will reduce the bacterial activity that creates the ammonia. Add wood ash to create a very basic environment (high pH) (you should actually get ammonium as a precipitate). Vinegar should also help reduce smells. You might wanna store it for a bit before depositing. (Unless you’re doing the direct deposit method).
So basically the entire stash of M4 Ultra got used up in Apple Private Cloud, I guess.

I have wondered why there wasn't a bare-bones dating site. The basic CRUD app shouldn't cost too much to host, and could probably be run on an ad-supported model (perhaps with a subscription for a no-ads version).

But moderation is not cheap. Women won't show up if they're going to be harassed. And men will harass women if you don't provide some kind of tools for preventing that.

Bumble did a lot by the simple expedient of requiring women to make the first approach. That's not perfect, but it least it prevents women from being barraged with dick pics from every rando.

Men get their own version: spammers and scammers. Which only gets worse now that chatbots can string men along cheaply. More openness is not a feature when it opens you to worse people.

You need to think about these problems and build some kind of solution in from the ground up. You can't just leave them as problems to be solved later, or the jerks and criminals will ruin your app's reputation before it has a chance to get off the ground.
20 years ago, when I helped cover IT hardware including AAPL for a large investment bank, our analyses consistently showed that Apple products were comparable in price to competing products with comparable specs.

I agree that Apple Silicon has given Apple an additional leg up on the competition, even aside from the more-than-competitive price.
> I personally want to onshore as much production as I can

What's the rationale for this? Like if you're already close to full employment, this isn't even zero-sum, you're throwing away your comparative advantage and spending part of your economy on production rather than higher-value services.

I'm willing to spend part of my country's wealth to counteract, say, other countries' lack of environmental protections, but if you're spending that wealth on counteracting lower offshore labour costs... in effect, the net impact is that you're just reducing the value of your own labour to match the offshore labour. (ergo, tariffs are a real clunky way to support local labour that isn't competitive with offshore labour costs... you could achieve the same ends more efficiently via income taxes and UBI.)
Maybe even Ads trained into the AI itself?

Could you maybe share a lightweight benchmark where you share the exact model (+ quantization if you're using that) + runtime + used settings and how much tokens/second you're getting? Or just like a log of the entire run with the stats, if you're using something like llama.cpp, LMDesktop or ollama?

Also, would be neat if you could say what AI services you were subscribed to, there is a huge difference between paid Claude subscription and the OpenAI Pro subscription for example, both in terms of cost and the quality of responses.

> Getting reelected because you managed to not tank the currency and economy.

That clearly that hasn't worked has it? Also, are you arguing against term limits?

Having to get elected is reason not to enforce financial discipline because people don't vote for those who promise financial discipline. People vote for those who promise more stuff.

What a naive comment.
It certainly is held back and that is unfortunate. But if you can run your workloads on this amazing machine, then that's a lot of compute for the buck.

I assume that there's a community of developers focusing on leveraging this hardware instead of complaining about the operating system.

Sure, nuance.

This is why Apple makes so much fucking money: people will craft the wildest narratives about how they’re going to use this thing. It’s part of the aesthetics of spending $10,000. For every person who wants a solution to the problem of running a 400b+ parameter neural network, there are 19 who actually want an exciting experience of buying something, which is what Apple really makes. It has more in common with a Birkin bag than a server.

This reminds me of having to go into spotify's package files to track down their version of this animation (an animated svg of a bar chart) and kill it, because it would destroy performance on my PC so badly that it was affecting other programs, causing hitches and freezes.

The animation's still there — and my PC is better now, so it doesn't stutter — but I'm willing to bet it's still burning waaay too many watts, for something so trivial.

Not that I intend to scale this in any way, but I'm working on an in-game UI rendered on the canvas, and I am thinking I might be able to hack something together based on this youtuber's library and excellent explainer video[0]. The thought had definitely occurred to me that if someone wanted to really roll up their sleeves and maintain a js port of the library, it would provide a translate-able UI from native C to native JS and back. At least, I can imagine a vite/webpack-like cli that reads the C implementation and spits out a js implementation.

Of course, I could also imagine one that reads the C and provides the equivalent html/css/js. And others might scoff "why not just compile the whole C app into wasm", which would certainly be plenty performant in a lot of cases. So I guess I don't know why it isn't already being done, and that usually means I don't know enough about the problems to have any clue what it would actually take to make such things.

In any case, I'm also looking forward to a quantum leap in web app UI! I'm not quite as optimistic that it's ever going to happen, I guess, but I can see a lot of benefit, if it did.

Not that dramatic of an increase actually - the M2 Max already had 400GB/s and M2 Ultra 800GB/s memory bandwidth, so the M3 Ultra's 819GB/s is just a modest bump. Though the M4's additional 146GB/s is indeed a more noticeable improvement.
Stop Copy-Pasting Between Search Engines – There's a Better Way
The most important factor with email, is that your inbox is encrypted at rest at all times... and cannot be bruteforced.

The chances of your email messages being 'man in the middled' are almost non-existent. Its a micro-percent of live investigations that does this.

The police RELY ON finding messages in either your inbox or the recipients. It doesnt matter if they are encrypted or not in reality. Of course they'd like to read them and if they are this deep into you. Its likely they still will (probably from the recipients lesser password hygiene than yours).

Almost no evidence is every 'plucked' out of the air and read. It just doesnt work that way.

However, software like Delta is better than nothing esp for normies. Its just limited in use for people who really need ways to frustrate LE.

Sort of. Reddit killed the old mobile site, which I built to run over 3G on a 533MHz CPU with 512Mb of RAM

The M3 Ultra is two M3 chips together on one die. In aggregate they should outperform an m4 max by quite a bit.
I believe that's referring to feces, not urine.

Most household (cat, dog, and human) feces is full of meat which draws the wrong kind of insects to the pile.

Urine though is okay and, arguably, beneficial to breaking down compost.

The only hard part is figuring out how to wave at your neighbors while fertilizing your compost heap. Do you wave with your off-hand or hot-swap as necessary? Decisions decisions...

They recently started disabling MV3 extensions automatically but you can still enable them back in Developer Mode (probably for a few more months until the code is fully dropped). On my machine they were disabled about 3-4 days ago.
I built my own CMS system which places WYSIWYG content editor in a sandboxed iframe to avoid XSS. The advantage of this approach is that I can edit HTML directly using the browser's developer console in case the WYSIWYG editor does not support what I want. After all, raw HTML/CSS codes are behind what we see on a website, so I prefer to work with them directly rather than using Markdown. Whatever CMS you use, just make sure it supports changing theme/template and allows custom content to be inserted at different sections on a web page or preferably multiple pages (i.e global content widget). I found these 2 features crucial and make my work a lot easier.
> why do you want this in MacOS?

I have a small rackmounted rendering farm using mac minis, which outperform everything in the Intel world, even order of magnitude more expensive.

I run macOS on my personal and development computers for over a decade and I use Linux since inception on server side.

My experience: running server-side macOS is such a PITA it's not even funny. It may even pretend it has ssh while in fact the ssh server is only available on good days and only after Remote Desktop logged in at least once. Launchd makes you wanna crave systemd. etc, etc.

So, about docker. I would absolutely love to run my app in a containerized environment on a Mac in order to not touch the main OS.
That was effectively the problem. There are pages that describe concepts but search engines take you right to the API which introduces related jargon words that are neither defined nor hypertext.

But I fear this is a bridge too far for a domain that didn’t bother making DevEx a thing until a few years ago.
Can I get back 2000s Google results? Aka no ridiculous filtering outside of spam / malware? I don't know what happened in the last four years but Google and YouTubes search capabilities feel broken, things I used to find I no longer can type the same queries to find. Search has regressed. I find myself just asking Grok for things I typically ask Google. I also use Kagi, but its not quite the scale of someone like Google who used to provide peak results before all this AI craze was even a thing.

Honestly I'd pay money at this point to get back the legacy google search results capability on google.
Are you also complaining about the existence of unelected supreme court justices? Cabinet members? Any political appointees? Civil servants? Cause I don’t see how makes sense otherwise..

Fauci was a civil servant and also an appointed official advisor to the president.

It has been completely standard for presidential advisors to wield significant political power for decades just think of Kissinger, Brzezibski, Scowcroft, Rice, Rove etc. (for better or for worse, my point is just that Fauci wasn’t somehow particularly unique or special).

These are official positions in the Executive Office of the President.

Musk is just some random guy who is seemingly allowed to do whatever he wants. I won’t comment on what impact Fauci’s recommendations might have had. However as far as we can tell he had significantly less direct power than Musk has currently (despite not holding any office, he’s basically a private consultant..)

> If people don’t mean fascism, then they should say what they mean

Perhaps. Being only partially accurate is arguably still much better than continuously and obviously lying all the time and misrepresenting objective facts (like Musk or Trump).
I run into the same issues here with banks in the US. It is a real pain in the ass, and makes tracking this sort of information way more time consuming then it needs to be.

My other issue is with stores like Costco that sell both household goods, groceries, clothes, and even misc kids stuff. I like to track each separately. Which means I then need to fetch and analyze the receipts.
For me, it's the fact that content generated by an LLM is fundamentally different than content that comes directly from a search index, but displaying them alongside each other conflates the two. Most people don't know the difference, and place the same level of importance (or maybe even more importance) on AI-generated content. Yes, this content is convenient. However, if the content isn't accurate or correct (which it may or may not be, given that it's just a statistically likely sequence of tokens) then is it actually beneficial as a whole?
> Mac Studio the new trash can?

Indeed, and tbh it really commits even more to the non-expandability that the Trashcan's designers seemed to be going for. After all, the Trashcan at least had replaceable RAM and storage. The Mac Studio has proprietary storage modules for no reason aside from Apple's convenience/profits (and of course the 'integrated' RAM which I'll charitably assume was done for altruistic reasons because of how it's "shared.")

The difference is that today users are accepting modern Macs where they rejected the Trashcan. I think it's because Apple's practices have become more widespread anyway*, and certain parts of the strategy like the RAM thing at least have upsides. That, and the thermals are better because the Trashcan's thermal design was not fit for purpose.

* I was trying to fix a friend's nice Lenovo laptop recently -- it turned out to just have some bad RAM, but when we opened it up we found it was soldered :(
There's no such thing as "the nature of AI Search", our current understanding and hope for what it should be is being projected, but as long as there's attention, ads can be there.

Mice have been genetically engineered to look like mammoths
There's a general guideline called the 50-500 rule. You need at least 50 animals to avoid immediate inbreeding (and also stochastic extinction from a fire or flood or disease etc), and about 500 to have a genetically healthy population. That varies some after a bottleneck event since your genetic population will be functionally less than your actual physical one, but it's a decent way to approach the problem.
