The problem with that math is that you can't catch them all. Russia has been gauging Europe's response by attacking cables close by, but there's no reason to believe they won't strike other strategic targets that are harder to monitor in future.

The current approach, to zig-zag over a cable with the anchor, is extremely obvious, but they could just as well have an entire fleet of ships just casually drag their anchor when passing over their targeted cable until one of them catches it. With a bit of planning, a large number of unrelated ships could be over one or more cables at the time the cable snaps, making it rather difficult (and therefore expensive) to figure out which ship is behind the attack.

The value of their crude oil fleet is also rather diminished by sanctions now that they can't sell as much crude oil as they could before.

For this specific attack, the ship being forfeited would be a net win. However, for the many other sabotaged cables, that's not happening. I think Russia gladly pays a couple thousand euros a day to sabotage European communications for weeks, as well as trick European/NATO fleets to show themselves and demonstrate how they behave when they're looking for trouble.
because they know there will be a large amount of people that don't know this much ram but they'll buy it anyway.
I wasn't exaggerating when I said we spent more than $2 trillion in Afghanistan alone. But that number should send off your bullshit detector. That's $15,000+ from every single household in the US. Even spread out over time that's an obscene amount of money. So where did the money come from? Well the US gets money/debt by selling treasuries. And the largest 'private' buyer of those treasuries is the Federal Reserve who has infinite money. The war was funded by money printed out of thin air, funny money. But of course there is a cost - inflation.

But the US has historically been in a unique place owing to a number of factors to export our inflation [1], particularly after our bait and switch with Bretton Woods. But many of those factors (largest consumer economy, global reserve currency, petrodollar) are on the way out or already, more or less, done with. And as those factors decline we get economically closer to Bahrain, Maldives, Laos, and Cape Verde - our distinguished economic peers in terms of debt:GDP ratios.

So long as we don't just replace the USD with the Yuan, this will be the case for all countries in a multipolar world. Money having value dramatically changes the cost:reward ratio of war. For instance I think this is the main reason China is implicitly accepting of a worsening situation in Taiwan. It's not because they don't think they could win, but because they don't want to pay for it. And so a deteriorating situation is seen as more desirable than a costly war.

Every single AI shop on the planet is trying to figure out if there is enough compute or not to make this a reasonable AI path. If the answer is yes, that 10k is a absolute bargain.
Yep, in a real situation the player would be constantly moving around collecting hp/ammo/weapon, losing health/ammo to monsters... all these would cause the status bar to be frequently updated.

I don't think the benchmark accounts that.

> Is anyone other than a vanishingly small number of hard core hobbiests going to upgrade from an M4 to an M4 Ultra?

I expect that the 2 biggest buyers of M4 Ultra will be people who want to run LLMs locally, and people who want the highest performance machine they can get (professionals), but are wedded to mac-only software.
>“We can no longer assume that funding will materialize to fix these longstanding issues.”

This is blatantly disingenuous. An administration that is doing pretty much as it pleases with hardly a check, with friendly majorities in both houses of Congress, claiming powerlessness? Please. And how is selling these facilities going to solve the problem? Do they really expect us to believe buyers will somehow fix these problems for free?
Anyone know the reason why? Maybe alfer?

The PTR match is a signal, but it's not required.

Not all land is created equally.

Russia doesn't really value the lives of men.

Been waiting for that economic collapse for 3 years. How many more Ukrainian men must die before we get it? How many more are you okay with dying?
But the power plant has only slightly higher efficiency off the fossil fuels it burns. So you need to use the ev to store excess grid solar generated during the day to truly get an advantage
A basic brand new server can easily do 512gb. Not as fast as soldered memory but it should be maybe mid to high 5 figures
Why don't the ISO like writing km/h?
_That_, in itself, wouldn't be that difficult, and there are shared-memory setups that do use modular memory. Where you'd really run into trouble is making it _fast_; this is very, very high bandwidth memory.
> Maybe they'll change the form factor of the Mac Pro, too?

Either that or kill the Mac Pro altogether, the current iteration is such a half-assed design and blatantly terrible value compared to the Studio that it feels like an end-of-the-road product just meant to tide PCIe users over until they can migrate everything to Thunderbolt.

They recycled a design meant to accommodate multiple beefy GPUs even though GPUs are no longer supported, so most of the cooling and power delivery is vestigial. Plus the PCIe expansion was quietly downgraded, Apple Silicon doesn't have a ton of PCIe lanes so the slots are heavily oversubscribed with PCIe switches.
It is an option, just not the preference for most people. The guy had an alright life, married a woman from a nearby island in a different country, had a daughter and still tend to his garden. In a way, that’s how humans have lived for most of their existence except the last 100 years or so.
Can you clarify "cracked"?
This is awesome. It means we will know where we aren't when we're on the moon.
It didn't used to be until Citizens United. Before that point donation to a Political Action Committee was indistinguishable from donation to a campaign, and that decision created a distinction that the rich then ruthlessly exploited to fund campaign ads and paid speakers and paid writers on social media.
Drones have always been in extensive use during warfare. Though in the past it was only very high altitude gliders of the american military whereas today there are countless low-altitude consumer grade drones.
Big countries are in a position to abuse their power. E.g., they start wars. Your worries are partially addressed by the separation of powers. The trillionaire government is split in three branches which helps curtail its power. It is not the task of a government to be efficient, it is the task of a government to be correct. I.e., have somewhat just laws that are executed somewhat correctly. I am saying 'somewhat' twice because one should not expect miracles but one can hope for livable and perhaps even prosperous conditions. The threatening collapse of this separation is one big current thing to worry about in the US. A government that respects the separation of powers is less threatening than a company of a tenth or a hundreth its size because the company can act out the will of a single individual. Generally it is true that if an individual/organization gets too much power he/she/it will find a way to abuse it. But government is also necessary to ensure that another, most likely much more intrusive government, comes in by force and starts reigning over you. And also to ensure that big companies and rich people do not abuse their power too much. What is needed in general is that the natural tendency of power to concentrate is kept in check by other powers. In the US this system was thrown out of whack mostly because of the enormous amounts of money needed to fund campaigns in combination with a two party system. It was way too easy to just buy both parties until one of the parties decided to go rogue and become the billionaire interest group, as if billionaires need an interest group. Over time enough damage, mostly in the form of large uncertainty and/or poverty for the average citizen, was done to society so the discontentment over this enabled the fascist leader to rise. Only the future can tell what the result of that will be but it is not impossible that a billion dead bodies will need to be buried because of this. Compared to that your 'ever increasing creep over all aspects of your life' seems a bit of a minor and/or theoretical concern.
I think the most exciting thing is that the M4 model is $999 and not some older model.
This is amazing, yet silly to state "Up to 23x faster performance [4]"

Let's say you want to have the absolute max memory(512GB) to run AI models and let's say that you are O.K. with plugging a drive to archive your model weights then you can get this for a little bit shy of $10K. What a dream machine.

Compared to Nvidia's Project DIGITS which is supposed to cost $3K and be available "soon", you can get a specs matching 128GB & 4TB version of this Mac for about $4700 and the difference would be that you can actually get it in a week and will run macOS(no idea how much performance difference to expect).

I can't wait to see someone testing the full DeepSeek model on this, maybe this would be the first little companion AI device that you can fully own and can do whatever you like with it, hassle-free.
You should cite your quotes. This is from George Washington, and from a rather different world than we live in now.
Apple Intelligence is a complete dud in my view, but fortunately it doesn’t bother you if you don’t use it, and it’s all worth it for Apple to start shipping base configurations with a decent amount of RAM.
Seems interesting. Coming from the react native world, competition is good! This seems to have a from scratch layout engine, which is pretty exciting. It looks like it supports some of the more recent/advanced CSS features. It also has a javascript engine based on QuickJS.

I can't wait for a more technical deep dive into how this works and compares to react native.
Anyone can comment on how Apple Silicon (M) MacBook Airs deal with heat?

It’s fan-less design, so how does it compare with MacBook Pros with same M chips?

Does it throttle often? Can you have it comfortably on your lap in summer? Or unless you’re running 1-hour long 4K rendering or machine learning training sessions - you’d never notice?

UPDATE: what I am getting at - if you are developer and don’t care about screen or battery differences - should you go for same spec macbook pro instead of same spec macbook air.
Another common failure mode of smart people is to believe that being contrarian is a sign of being smart. As a result they will associate "consensus opinions" with "doing as you're told" or "being a sheep" and will instinctively recoil away from those consensus opinions, even when the consensus is obviously right.

For example, the many very smart people who thought that they could use nicotine as a stimulant without getting addicted. Or the people who think that if a five year old can identify that something is bad, it must actually be good.
Well firstly this was "OPEC+" that includes Russia, the details are that SA isn't moving its quota up at all but Russia is "allowed" to pump more. Secondly, they're explicitly playing it as a gift to Trump, to drive down prices during his early days.
"Hit It Twice" Customer Service
Ask HN: Automated Content Moderation for SMBs? Is That a Thing?
Almost two months ago I had a "Show HN" which was a "flop" (1 vote, 1 comment).

I had built a product with a couple of beta customers (known friends and family) after realizing it would be "nice" to check if a given link was malicious before clicking on it.

Soon enough, it became clear it was burdensome to copy a link and paste it somewhere else to verify it. Ideally, this check would happen at the platform level (even OS on things like iOS/Android), so I pivoted.

After believing there was some interest online in other communities, and investigating competitors, eventually I ended up with a product which works well for analyzing malicious links, emails, messages, and images. It has a really simple API, no-subscription pricing (you buy a bunch of credits and use them until you run out and top it off again), and I don't even have accounts or store emails. I also built a bunch of simple SDKs for Python, JavaScript, Go, and CLI.

But no one wants it.

Big platforms are invested in much larger competitors (which also do "is this AI?" checks), and smaller platforms don't really have a content moderation problem until they become bigger.

Was this a bad bet? Is there really no interest for this, or am I just not finding the right people or the right way to communicate what problem this solves?

I don't want to share the link here to avoid people thinking I'm just trying to get visits. I'm genuinely trying to understand if this is a problem or not, to either drop it, or invest more time in it.

Thank you so much for your time!
Charkoal: Smart Canvases for Developers
This viewpoint is interesting. It is not exactly inaccurate, but it does appear to be missing a point. Soldering in itself is a valuable and useful skill, but I can't say you can just get in and start de-soldering willy-nilly as opposed to opening a box and upgrading ram by plopping stuff in a designated spot.

What if both are an issue?
How does his behaviour in this administration differ markedly from his first?

Were Musk and Vance key influencers there? If not, what elements are constant?
It is _not_ on die. It's soldered onto the package.

There's a good reason it's soldered, i.e. the wide memory interface and huge bandwidth mean that the extra trace lengths needed for an upgradable RAM slot would screw up the memory timings too much, but there's no need to make false claims like saying it's on-die.
At 9 grand I would certainly hope that they support the device software wise longer than they supported my 2017 Macbook Air. I see no reason to be forced to cough up 10 grand essentially every 7 years to Apple, that's ridiculous.
...then is immediately ordered to sell them to a private equity firm, payable in $TRUMP.
The Biden/Obama administration and Europe both have their responsibility in alienating Russia. The current administration simply wants to wash its hand off of it as if their was no continuity between Trump America and Democratic America. Now the US words are meaningless.
After getting the initial M1 Air, I am still struggling to find a reason to replace it. Still going strong with no hiccups!
I'm with you.

Especially as the cost to serve this content approaches zero.

I find the take in the blog to be relatively hostile. It's a "technically correct" rant. Not wrong, but mostly missing the point, and being a bit of a dick in the process.

Sure - block the readers that make a request every 10 seconds. It's perfectly reasonable to block clients if they hit a limit like 20 to 50 requests in a day.

It's damn hostile to block for 24 hours after a single request. If the 10MB of traffic for 20 requests is going to break the bank... maybe don't host an atom or RSS feed at all?

That said - weirdos can weird on their own sites as they like. It's not a public service.

But I bucket this into the same category of weird as posting a whole bunch of threatening "no trespassing", "beware of dog", "homeowner is armed", "Solicitors not welcome", etc style signs all over their property.

Like - point out on the doll where the rss client hurt you. Because something's up.
That's not true, there are plenty of side-channel attacks that fall squarely within the realm of block cipher cryptanalysis. Examples include Differential Fault Analysis (DFA), Correlation Power Analysis (CPA) and more.

It's true that practical side-channel leaks on software block cipher implementations tend to be microarchitectural (e.g. cache timing), but that's only because the "easier" attacks are already mitigated or considered out of scope (e.g. no physical access).
That's a driver. It's also a connection.

If the blob is delivered in a ps package over https, or bluetooth, or via lpr or jetdirect makes no difference.

The point is that software you don't control generated the data and delivered it to the printer.
> can be used for fingerprinting

That's an interesting point. However, given that this is a language preference users are quite likely to manually select the correct language if the incorrect one loads up. At which point you have shared that information anyway.

I guess there's an argument to be made against blasting that information out to every last third party though. Perhaps it should only ever be sent to the target that appears in the address bar.
I used to work at a company that used Sentinel-2 data and a large scale AI model to detect changes in land use and land cover anywhere in the world. They provide free global data at 10m resolution on an annual basis, or paid versions at 3m resolution over a custom timeframe.

Other than battery mass and screen size, is there a significant difference between the new Macbook Air and the low-end Macbook Pro?
I has having lunch with some hardware designers from SGI and Sun, and the SGI people mentioned jokingly that the MIPS could be both big-endian and little-endian, which they called SPIM. Then they pointed out much to the embarrassment of the Sun people (including me at the time) that the little-endian version of the SPARC would be called CRAPS.
The entire globe is intertwined. Conflict anywhere has the very real possibility of becoming conflict everywhere. It's in every countries best interest to do what they can to maintain peace, no matter how far away from home that peace is.

There’s an argument that replaceable pc parts is what you want at that price point, but Apple usually provides multi year durability on their pcs. An Apple ai brick should last awhile.
It’s not enough of an upgrade from my M2 Air. I’m happy to wait for the next generations. But I wouldn’t consider any other personal laptop than this one.
But once you activate AI, then you are not able to uninstall this AI crap from your computer.
Parent was satire.
I know that, inevitably, the cooler the functionality of an extension, the more permissions it requires, but I get uncomfortable giving "read and change all your data on all websites" and "modify data that you copy and paste" permissions to someone I don't know—even though I understand that those permissions are legitimate for the core functions of the extension!

Could you give some information to help reassure me that I can trust this extension?
Citizens United was certainly disastrous, but there were many avenues to buy political influence before it.
> Libertarianism is the opposite of fascism

In much the same way as communism is the opposite of fascism and nazism. Yet their methods and outcomes are remarkably similar.

However I would say that anarcho-capitalism (i.e. what people like Thiel actually mean by “libertarianism”) is not that dissimilar from fascism.

> Reducing the size and scope of government is not fascism

It’s not. Replacing it with unaccountable mega-corporations controlled by megalomaniacal oligarchs. Well, that’s something else.

Anyway IMHO arguing about semantics i.e. are Musc & co. actually literally “fascists” or only figuratively is counter-productive. We should focus more on their goals and the tools they are using to achieve them.

> Fauci was unelected
> Elon being “unelected,”

That justifies Musk/DOGE in what way exactly? I really don’t get this perspective, “the other was dishonest and/or made major mistakes so we get to lie through our teeth as well”? Fauci was a dishonest liar (or whatever) so we can use extreme falsehoods to justify our actions too? Really?

How more hypocritical can you get? I mean I do get that you might have valid and justifiable views but is dishonest demagoguery really the vehicle you want to use to share them? Why?

> to have that conversation

Perhaps. Doubling down on “fascism” (literal or figurative) does not seem like the best solution?

Same. Each year I tell myself I'll get the new one. Each year when the new one comes out I notice that for what I use it for my M1 Air is still completely fine.
Ran the Mac native copy of No Man’s Sky on a 16GB m3 Air last year. 1080p and on default visual settings

The laptop never got hot, game never stuttered (beyond NMS glitching engine which exists on windows too). Slight bit of increased warmth, but my phones gotten hotter browsing bloated websites.

I don’t blame Microsoft for looking at bailing on consoles. iPhones will be more powerful in a couple more cycles.
I suspect that they do not consider workstations to be personal computers.
Untested for that specific command, but in Zsh this should work:

PGP has been cracked when you use it with automation in that you can steal keys slowly by relying on the meta-behavior of systems around PGP. A classic attack here is timing how long it takes for a PGP-based automated system to reject your messages.

PGP is intended for the classic "used by a human to encrypt emails manually" flow and is actually insecure if you automate around it.
