I bought an M1 Max with 64gb of ram at release. I'm still not sure what will get me to replace it other than it simply breaking. Maybe an M5 will finally make me want to buy something new. I'm debating getting a cheaper Air and maybe a base Ultra now that I do most of my heavy work at a desk.
> Testing conducted by Apple in January 2025 using preproduction 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air systems with Apple M4, 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and 32GB of RAM, as well as production 1.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-based MacBook Air systems with Intel Iris Plus Graphics and 16GB of RAM, all configured with 2TB SSD. Tested using Super Resolution with Pixelmator Pro 3.6.14 and a 4.4MB image. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of MacBook Air.

You don't need "lots and lots" of tiny functions, most of the time it's totally fine to just let the exception propagate as is. When you do need to add information, you will have to use a function, yes, it's an unfortunate feature of golang. Same with defers, the only way to scope them is to wrap them in a function, it's stupid, but this is golang for you
Have you seen: https://european-alternatives.eu/alternative-to/aws-amazon-w...

And also, the AWS European Sovereign Cloud might be a bandaid fix, but it's still related to the American business.

As for latency, surely you can use a CDN where appropriate to provide edge nodes in Canada? Maybe exclude America?
Because they are laptops. I can't even use my 16" MacBook Pro on the couch. It's portable sure, but it's not a laptop. You can't take it anyway, only move it from desk to desk. It's the single heaviest thing in my bag when I travel.

I can do the same work on a MacBook Air when I'm away, and it's basically just a desktop when I'm home. To me it would make way more sense to have a desktop at home and a 12 - 14" laptop, if it wasn't for the cost of having both.
True, but I have compared the FP32 used in graphics computations because for that the throughput information is easily available.

Both CPUs (with the BF16 instructions and with the VNNI instructions for INT8 inference) and the GPUs have a higher throughput for lower precision data types than for FP32, but the exact acceleration factors are hard to find.

The Intel server CPUs have the advantage vs. AMD that they also have the AMX matrix instructions, which are intended to compete for inference applications with the NVIDIA tensor cores, but the Intel CPUs are much more expensive for a number of cores big enough to be competitive with GPUs.
Nit: the host is not picked at random, but according to the RFC3484 algorithm.

Since people typically don’t believe me about this, here it is from someone who has done a lot of networking programming:

That may have very little to do with refresh rate itself, and far more to do with the image processing and latency introduced by the monitor in different video modes.
> It's not that simple

I know you seemingly don't want it to appear that simple, but it really is. Original question was regarding organized and armed anti-fascist/far-left movements and if there was any investigation into those. Since we aren't organized, hierarchical (by design) nor armed/militarized, like the far-right, investigations into those are harder and AFAIK, haven't happened as of today.

If you have some concrete evidence for those investigations existing and being published on the open internet, feel free to link those.

Otherwise this conversation kind of lost track of it's original topic, as you're somehow dragging into "urban white rarely owning firearms" which might be true or not, but not sure how it's related to the topic at hand. Your language is also starting to become emotional and colorful enough for me (and others) to recognize that we're spilling into sharing anecdotal and personal experiences/beliefs, rather than talking hard concrete data and events.
i thought it would be some kind of competitor to canva but not at all, the product is interesting and original, i'll definitely follow it!

my only nitpick at this moment: i like to see my scrollbars on a desktop

If the terminal is not a dumb gateway to the central service, that would be a massive risk. I'd be extremely surprised if that was possible.

I mean, you could probably still print something, but any validity check would fail.

I feel that writing out infrastructure templates through a "proper programming language" (for the lack of a better term) comes with some sharp tradeoffs that many don't recognize.

A big feature of most IaC tools is that they are relatively logic-less and therefore can be easily understood at a glance, allowing for easier reasoning about what resources can be created, and this ability is diminished by introducing logic, and debugging issues in them becomes a nightmare. A large company I used to work for had a system just like that, and while I thankfully never had to work with said system, hearing statements like you can "debug your templates with pry[1]" being touted as a feature is something I hope to never hear again.

No specific reason. I've always found typewriters interesting and I enjoy it whenever I find someone who has, or still, uses them. They're a lot more enjoyable to write on than computers, to me at-least.
Chatbots Are Cheating on Their Benchmark Tests
Ok, this explains why QwQ is working great on their chat. Btw I saw this thing multiple times: that ollama inference, for one reason or the other, even without quantization, somewhat had issues with the actual model performance. In one instance the same model with the same quantization level, if run with MLX was great, and I got terrible results with ollama: the point here is not ollama itself, but there is no testing at all for this models.

I believe that models should be released with test vectors at t=0, providing what is the expected output for a given prompt for the full precision and at different quantization levels. And also for specific prompts, the full output logits for a few tokens, so that it's possible to also compute the error due to quantization or inference errors.
Let them work for a bit to get their brain juices flowing, then point out the issues in their code review. If they need more help encourage them to discuss with you personally. Never knowingly let bugs go into production.
Maybe, but I think Russia can afford to lose this war for longer than Ukraine can afford to win it. And that’s ignoring the recent USA policy changes.
Anecdotal but it seems like the big EPYC rigs are getting very low tokens per second, and not even consistent. They are strained, as opposed to e.g. M3 Ultra that can likely sustain 40-50 tokens/s based on previous stats.

I'd like to see some proper benchmarking on this though, but it looks like the Apple systems might just be extremely good value if you want to run the large DeepSeek model.
That's a lot of words but still no source.
There's no technical reason that disappearing messages should prevent reporting them though - not only could reports prevent deletion of the reported messages, you could have it such that the other end has to agree/set their own disappearing timeline if someone messages them with disappearing messages on.

On the topic of unsolicited messages though, I prefer to tackle the problem at the source - it shouldn't be possible to message me at all if I haven't given you an invitation to do so, and invitations should be individually revocable. (This would be a big departure from the familiar phone number model, of course)

Duuuude, Ukraine does not need to be someones pawn to not want rule of a country like Russia. And Ukraine protests were all Ukrainians - because large mass of citizens wanted to be in a democratic pro European country.

NATO was enlarging, because countries begged to be members of a nato.

Russian citizens are super poor, living in a country with little to offer. Not wanting to be part of that is only natural, especially when you look like Europeans live.

Depends. Most of Telegram is indeed shallow. But some of my groups are occupied by people with a competition of who can write the longest and convulted essays of deep philosophical and political issues.
Getting a warning is a good thing. A lot of action is taken invisibly.

You can't upgrade the MacBook.
If you don't know what's there you just start from the top I suppose. That's what happened with the Snowden leaks, they were picked apart over the span of months if not years by journalists, publishing what they found was interesting.

> How do you send your patch to the maintainer? You send the author an email.

I understand the article thinks of occasional contributors outside of the project. For developers of your team (if any), I guess you could grant them SSH access to push, with git hooks enforcing your workflow (prevent direct commits to main, feature-* branches...).
It very likely goverment itself will prop up tesla with contracts directly. Same with Palantir and Anduril replacing the old guard Boeing and Lockhead.

Or however else you would manage that sort of thing in your favorite programming language.

> I need to make a small change, how do I know what parts of my scripts to run?

Either just re-run the parts you know you've changed (manually or based on git diffs), or even better, make the entire thing idempotent and you won't have to care, re-run the entire program after each change and it'll automagically work.
> They claimed civilian nuclear power was part of a weapons program

They are wrong, but who cares? As long as Russia and China have nuclear weapons, disarming Europe isn't going to help anyone. Not to mention now North Korea and pretty soon Iran will have them too.

Arguably, if Germany wasn't so reliant on Russian gas, the war in Ukraine wouldn't have started. The "peace" in Greenpeace is more Orwellian than anything.
Don't worry, government spending will increase anyway. Maybe you just won't have accurate data about it anymore.
I mean, Trump said on covid, 'if we stop testing, we'd have fewer cases'. People who deal in a steady stream of lies don't want the inconvenience of facts like scientific measurements. Same reason all the climate data is being removed.
> This is the crap responsible for poluting $HOME.

I think people who wrote software used $HOME for dotfiles way before XDG even existed.

And if he does, where do you put the dotfiles? $HOME? XDG defines an cleaner hierarchy.
You can even build a P1 with a whopping 8 TB of SSD storage.

There are also plenty of other P-series thinkpads that you can get with 2 TB or more storage: P14s, P16, P16v
Even the ThinkPad range has a lot of variation in it and there are lots of build customisation options. I have never had a major issue with ThinkPads on Linux. I tend to spec them quite highly and keep them for many years.

I just bought a new T16 a month ago and it's great (32Gb RAM, sRGB screen, 2Tb SSD, Ryzen 7 processor). Installed PopOS in about 20 mins and everything just works.

However, as others in this thread have observed, I don't really see the point of trying to run local LLMs on a laptop, unless you want to just play a little. If you want to really play with LLMs wouldn't a separate larger box be more effective rather than trying to do it on a mobile device?
France, the Netherlands, Sweden, probably China too. Also places like Russia, Armenia and so on.

I think you can PhD ML experts in Sweden for substantially below 240k, maybe even as little as 124k.
"Trust, but verify". In this case, none of this is admissable in court (assuming there IS anything illegal in here, I haven't finished reading beyond people selling merch) because it wasn't done by the book, but it can give enough leads for further investigation, like marking people as "person of interest", cross referencing with other known activities by the people involved, etc. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction.

Draw out the partisan poison from this policy and what we have is a move to inject more humanity into the way that companies are run - I find that very appealing.
My experience with quantizations is that anything below 6 is noticeably worse. Coherence suffers. I’ve rarely gotten anything really useful out of a Q4 model, code wise. For transformations they are great though, eg convert JSON to Markdown and vice versa.
False equivalence. The strawman that sticks out gets hammered. Peter Turchin has mapped this out. The elite wealth pump is what's ending the US empire and prosperity. This is why Trump is in power. Talk and negotiations dont work anymore, do you think people will lay down and give up?

I have not said any word about FP64.

I have just compared the FP32 computational capabilities, i.e. what is used for graphics, between the Apple M3 Ultra GPU and AMD server CPUs, because these numbers are easily available and they demonstrate the size relationships between them.

Both GPUs and server CPUs have greater throughputs for lower precision data (CPUs have instructions for BF16 and INT8 inference), but the exact acceleration factors are hard to find and it is more difficult to estimate the speeds without access to such systems for running benchmarks.
> I think the fear here is that a public company is going to optimize heavily for profits to the detriment of the service itself, which public tech companies seem to often do

I think that is largely because we remember the ones that do and not the ones that don't.

As an example, companies like microsoft & amazon, while ruthless, don't really fit that mold.

You’ll see people not wanting to buy a lot of US stuff soon. I definitely increased my activities around that lately. Netflix is next to go.
Add in Trump implementing isolationist policies that only help China by allowing them to fill those gaps left by the US. Then there's Musk who Tweets nonsense 24/7, but somehow never says a bad word about China. Propaganda victory indeed.
I'm sure this question has been asked before, but why not launch a GPU with more but slower ram? That would fit bigger models while still affordable...
If you collect novel domestic sensing data and share it with the world, that is exploitable as intelligence against your country. If another country gives you their domestic sensing data, it may be manipulated to effect some other national objective. These are not idle concerns because both have been done many times by many countries. It is a dual use technology. There is a lot of paranoia around the sharing of sensing data sets between countries because much of it is easy to abuse.

It is a “default deny” environment. The majority of international data sharing deals I’ve seen, and I’ve seen quite a few, never happen because they can’t get past what governments see as the political risks. The scientific mission barely even enters the discussion when it comes to getting sign-off from governments. When they do give their approval, it often comes with conditions that impede the scientific mission. I’ve also seen data sharing denied for unrelated petty geopolitical reasons between governments quite a lot.

It is less obvious in the US because so much sensing data resides there; there is still a lot of scientific sensing data in other countries that would be useful in the US if you could get it. Outside the US people feel it more acutely because of the relative paucity of available domestic data.

I’m not making an endorsement of any type, I’m just saying this is how it works internationally in my experience. You may have simple scientific missions but the approvals come from people that have a different agenda. It is a pain in the ass and really demotivating if you need that data for your research.
Maybe you have to update yt-dlp, or maybe the link has been used by too many people? For me it worked.
It's good that platforms take action to make themselves less harmful.

However, whilst it's "safer", Reddit stopped being a place of fun years ago.

It might be incompatible to have ingroup-safe friendly places and encourage actual fun and humour. There's certainly a conflict.

It used to be where memes were made and refined. Instagram and tiktok have that now.

Worth stating the obvious but Reddit is not at all safe for work nor safe for children, it's not family friendly and is likely to harm ones mental health. Most normal non users view it as tumblr: "oh that's that porn site isn't it?".

It does remain a sometimes useful resource for some tech discussions and hobbies. Sections which were never political nor humourous.
Its relatively straightforward to host a nextjs app in a docker container and route it with nginx and cloudflare, but you probably wont get as good uptime
My deep-seated guess is that the switch from a simple language like Objective-C to the complex Swift language with its humongous compile times has caused developer productivity to be broken. No time to fix bugs, no time to refactor, no time to re-iterate on improving features because time is all taken up by compilation and grokking complexity.
I'm sorry because this is going to be rude, but we're talking stereotypes anyway. I cannot remember a time, ever, when America was considered "well educated". And the "knowledgeable about the world" bit is just ridiculous, that quote about war being God's way of teaching Americans geography dates back to the 19th century.
OEMs have been doing basically this for years with their phones for decades at this point, pushing customized builds of Android with every phone they make, this has been successful to close the gap Apple created when they released the iPhone.

I guess a hurdle smartphones didn't have as they were breaking into a new market is compatibility; outside of the tech world, virtually all of corporate and personal environment is dependent on Windows and Windows-only software. Steam has shown it can work with SteamOS and Proton, making gaming on Linux a reality for a wide audience. What's missing is a major OEM to build a high-spec laptop with a custom Linux build to optimize performance and battery life, with a decent Windows compatibility layer and that would provide software companies an incentive to sell native Linux versions and support. Is Samsung really going to keep their laptop line depend on Windows, and leave it on the side-line as they will never be able to really optimize battery life and performance and compare to the MacBooks?

Because of the increase in knife crimes in the last couple of years the UK police have become incredible aggressive towards anybody in possesion of even small purpose knifes in public. I'm honestly surprised OP got away with it.
77 pages of messages sounds like it's only a small percentage of communication in that group. I can imagine (also based on other comments about organizations like this being infiltrated by law enforcement) their communication networks are a lot more involved than Telegram chats or other "honeypotable" systems. Snowden revealed (or confirmed our suspicions that) the NSA has backdoor access to all major American based social media / communications, and the media broke at least twice about a major 'encrypted' chat / secure phone provider being compromised causing hundreds if not thousands of arrests worldwide.

(note: arrests, because whether the chats were recorded legally and are admissable to court is a whole different matter)
> It backs up everything. OS, Apps, and data.

I’m not claiming you’re wrong, but I think the backup includes the list of apps and versions and excludes data that can be easily downloaded from AppStore.
The "only used in exceptional cases" argument is the same tired line every government uses before mass surveillance becomes the norm. Once a backdoor exists, it's not just "good guys" using it; it's an open invitation for abuse.
I don’t think that’s what it is. As I read this analysis, they want to have large private family firms and not large public firms. They also want a government that gets out of those firms’ way. That’s leaves no public accountability of any kind. That sounds like oligarchy to me. The workers are not going to prosper in that world.
