For comparision with Tesla, with my little 15 year old clio it's like this:

1. There is mandatory service with technical exam yearly. Few days before it I call my mechanic, drive car to him, then pick it up next day. He changes the oil, brake pads if they are getting bad, tightens a few nuts. Usually I pay less than 100€ for that, but price varies heavily by car model/mechanic/location.

2. I go change the wheels before and after winter (we have to use separate ones for summer and winter there due to snow). Again, I call the mechanic, drive the car to him same day, chat for 15min, then he is finished. Around 120€ if I need new wheels, just 40€ if previous season ones are still good.

Every so often a bit bigger service is needed (if exhaust needs to be replaced or something else). In this case the car stays at mechanic over weekend, maybe max 4-5 days if he needs to order parts he doesn't have in stock.

Average it's less than 400€ yearly and less than a week of downtime in total per year.

Could Ukraine maneuver around Trump by instead signing a minerals deal with UK+EU? Better to give the $600b (optimistically) to friendly allies. The problem is UK+EU does not have equivalent defense contractors. US gets what it wants as well, by disconnecting from the conflict.
You just reminded me I said it on a programming interview for Java one time and my friend was giving them the Fizzbuzz test.

And, and having to explain everything, well, this person had never heard of it. And, and for the more, didn't know what modulo was, like, how do you, how do you say you know Java?

I suck at programming but I could bang out 100% of the things mentioned in this thread. In like four languages, including FORTRAN.
> Do you think you got what voted for?

They want whatever Trump tells them to want. Just look at how Zelensky was polling amongst Republicans before and after the “incident”.

Specific policies are irrelevant, they’ll just pretend that they always supported all of the random shit Trump does from the very beginning (even though nobody knew that hose options ever existed).
I wonder if it's possible for app devs to use Exclaves. The thing that irks me about Apple is that they invent this new amazing internal stuff but then completely wall it off from devs, leaving everyone else (banking apps, wallets, secure messaging, etc.) to continue running in unsecured user space.

> It's a cheap food sold as a gourmet item because it's rare.

This statement is _entirely_ dependent upon where you live. If you have lots of East/SouthEast Asian immigrants in your community, it will be a regular commodity in any supermarket -- "ethnic" or not. Lots of readers here live in the Bay Area. A regular block of 300/400g fresh tofu is probably cheap as chips in their local supermarket.

> Like a lot of _other_ fermented foods.

Are you implying that tofu is a fermented food? It is not. (FYI: In Chinese food culture, there is something called fermented tofu [and even stinky tofu], but that is different than non-fermented tofu.)
The reactionary spirit among the Western technical elites never ceases to amaze me, it shouldn't by this point, but it still does.

If accurately reported, this seems unlikely to engender major financial investment in Musk enterprises from European funding sources where Poland has any authority. And you would think normal diplomatic channels would be used by Tusk and others to seek some supportive convergence from the EU majors.

Is it just me or does Musk leap to ad hom rapidly? Also the repetitious quality of "say thank you" lines of reasoning. It's like an attempt to establish "Europe is ungrateful" messages.

Lest I over state it let me ask: isn't Poland an overwhelmingly conservative polity? Isn't this Rubio (who is meant to have some political nous) shitting in the same nest? Musk is (-ad hom time.. ) a man baby with Ketamine fuelled delusions of grandeur. Rubio saw himself as President, was this kind of shit show on his bingo card?

When running on apple silicon you want to use mlx, not llama.cpp as this benchmark does. Performance is much better than what's plotted there and seems to be getting better, right?

Power consumption is almost 10x smaller for apple.

Vram is more than 10x larger.

Price wise for running same size models apple is cheaper.

Upper limit (larger models, longer context) is far larger for apple (for nvidia you can easily put 2x cards, more than that it becomes whole complex setup no ordinary person can do).

Am I missing something or apple is simply currently better for local llms?
Probably about 3 minutes? That's my main usage of these types of coding tools, honestly. I already know generally what I want to happen and validating that the LLM is on the right track / reached the right solution is easy.

There's mozilla free versions of firefox, additionally there's ladybird browser in the brewing.
Yeah: firefox.

Is the browser ecosystem supposed to get better if we collapse it to just webkit and blink? Websites track us, browsers track us, web extensions track us, ISPs track us, OSs track us, cell networks track us.

Government passing legit privacy laws is the literal only way to prevent this - not browser choice. Unfortunately gov is fully captured by corporate interests most places in the world.

Not only Uber/Grab (or delivery app) were revolutionary, they are still revolutionary. I could live without LLMs and my life will be slightly impacted when coding.

That is revolutionary.

Just noticing this exact phenomenon as a beginner learning wing foil: over two days, one day I can barely stand up, and only on one side, feeling very wobbly.

The very next day, I am easily standing up on both sides, and can pump (which involved jumping on the board and jerk-pulling the wing).

There was definitely something happened with my brain while I didn’t train.

I don't work in Silicon Valley, nor pure tech, but in many industries, the quickest way to climb titles and pay is to move to a new firm.

Can you blame these people for leaving a job for better title/pay? I cannot. Better: I would expect HN to applause! "Stick it to the man!"

Same function at Apple. There isn't a separate "product" division and there aren't "PMs" with power (though there are some job site postings for them… in the marketing division.)

I like chrome, I don't like google. I mean: I am so used to chrome devtools, I don't even know how to switch to firefox. I gave it a try and it was frustrating that I didn't know where to find my shit. Felt like 10x performance loss for my web development activities. Is there any way to make firefox devtools look and feel like chromes?
The rhetoric around Firefox is so exhausting. They change some wording while having made no actual technical changes to the browser and the internet is on fire for days calling them the devil incarnate, meanwhile Chrome gutted uBlock and other extensions a week ago and there was barely any noise about it.

What causes this phenomenon where the project with significantly less resources is held to a higher standard than the other players?

I hear you, I feel constantly bewildered by comments like "LLMs haven't changed really since GPT3.5.", I mean really? It went from an exciting novelty to a core pillar of my daily work, it's allowed me and my entire (granted , quote senior) org to be incredibly more productive and creative with our solutions.

And the I stumble across a comment where some LLM hallucinated a library that means clearly AI is useless.
You can trust or distrust whoever you want, but I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss Firefox. They now have updated the wording of their TOS that caused so much uproar and confusion (in part fueled by Brendan Eich, who runs a competing browser) and are pretty clear about what they do.

Firefox also still supports Manifest V2, which lets you use the full, ultra-powerful version of uBlock Origin. There's no better privacy protection than uBlock.

Firefox is a much better choice than any Chromium based browser for the privacy conscious.

One thing that bothers me is that, when smaller projects and companies get boycotted, the winners seem to always be US Big Tech companies that are far worse, and boycotts don't work against them either.

For what is worth, I still use Firefox.

If you fear Mozilla's telemetry going forward, you could pick a fork that disables it. E.g., Mullvad or Zen seem pretty good.

But on the other hand, if you really want to get off the Firefox bandwagon, yes, Chromium-based browsers are a viable alternative. Although, in my view, there are only 2 Chromium-based browsers that are fairly trustworthy (i.e., well updated, not insecure) and that are not full-on spyware: Vivaldi and Brave.

Regardless, the “forks” are good only for disabling features that you don't want. But keep in mind that the hard work is still done by Mozilla, Google or Apple, it costs a shit ton of money to maintain a browser engine and all of them are financed by ad-tech (Google's ad-tech to be more specific).

In the first year or psychology you learn a lot of words and scientifical language. One of those words you learn is the "homeostasis". Which means the balance between highs and lows and how crucial is for a healthy life. You can study it in basic conditioning (a balance between stimuly, or you can create learned helplessness), in personality (a balance between happyness and depression makes you happier than the happiest person in the world), neuropsychology... and any other field with the same theory behind. So yeah, having balance between everything in your life is the most important thing you can achieve.

Same. The manuals.. they were like real flying manuals. I was never a gamer, but I was working shifts through the nights with lots of spare time, so I played Flight Sim on the Apple.

Then one day a pilot friend invited me to fly with him in his club's Cessna. To my surprise, as soon as the wheels were off the ground he said "Now you fly." And I did.. for the next half hour. Around the mountains, here and there.. the thing is, the instruments in that Cessna worked just as in the sim, some were slow reacting, some were fast, and the pedals and yoke.. everything was familiar, I just had to use the real controls instead of a keyboard. A quick adjustment. So i could actually fly that thing. My pilot friend took over when we were ten meters from landing.

That's an experience I've never forgotten.
