Not 'allegedly' - it's just a fact. Even if you're not malicious however it's still sometimes necessary because the server may have different sites for different browsers and check user agents for the experience th

That's only in-region. Ireland imports all sorts of stuff so just look at imports if you want to exclude the energy impact on everything else.

I feel like when these tickets are struck down it's still smart to send notices to the homes of the cars doing this in more of a shaming way - even if the fine itself isn't legal. I suspect it would increase safety a small amount

I think what they're saying is that larger radii are for 'real windows' that have toolbars and such but there are 'mini windows' and those get smaller radii. It doesn't seem well enough baked for them to relea

You would have to normalize against other costs and do a deep dive to really understand. My first question would be whether electricity (commercial and residential) has become relatively more expensive than gas, beer, and other commodities

Forgive my ignorance but wouldn't a TPU be a kind of ASIC where the application is model inference? The TPU Wikipedia article also says it's an ASIC - we should update it if it's wrong.

Who are you responding to? OP made a moral argument for sure but he wasn't pushing for maximum employment.

Yeah that's part of Nuclear Peace Theory. It's interesting and compelling - but also prone to some major tail risk.

That would happen even if there was no medicine at all. It's not like in the natural world disease and dying is smooth. Individual systems fall apart and then the rest of the organism dies slowly or quickly.

Where and when?

It's a little bit the opposite. Private groups are focused on profits but there are gov programs to support the rare disease research that would otherwise go unfunded in a pure market system.

I don't know how much longer it will last but the US government invests significant resources into rare diseases in order to improve outcomes where the normal market wouldn't otherwise support the r&d.

What I always find peculiar about this is the wealth disparities even at the highest levels. Andy Jassy for instance, or David Solomon (CEO of Goldman), have less than 1% of the bulge bracket class and certainly have similar work demands a

It could be a leak but it could also be an inefficient piece of logic in Firefox. One could imagine that on every keystroke Firefox is scanning the entire input text for typos or malicious inputs whereas Chrome might be scanning only the t

I wouldn't ease any taxes - we simply can't afford lower taxes. Debt is nearly $40T (125% of GDP)!

by AdamN 7mo ago
I'd go for a more progressive tax if it was on offer. But there is so much debt that I'm pretty worried that taxes are simply unsustainably low.

Ironically I was mildly in favor of tariffs from the left pov. Reduced consumption and getting more taxes to help pay down the debt. Consumption was likely mildly reduced (and still is with the 15% tax) but now we have more inflation comin

Germany is more expensive (unless you go with a phone contract from the local grocery store - which I've heard mixed reviews about)

MBP has some other advantages too- better display, better speakers/mic, more ports, driving more external displays. But yeah the MBA with an M1 chip is incredibly powerful and an awesome computer.

Generally the MacBook Air is incredible and what I generally recommend. If somebody is doing 'more' then it's the MBP. Now with the Neo I even have a recommendation for price sensitive people who may have otherwise gotten a

My kids' school uses iPads with GSuite. It seems like a common config. With Creative Studio Apple could even displace GSuite at some point.

Yeah I've always ascribed to the idea that the monitor is the most important part of the computer. Everything else is secondary because you can workaround a lot of other problems with a computer but there's no overcoming a low qu

Oh man I hated that monitor. It's the only one I've ever bothered to go through the return process for. I was excited about the aspect ratio but the pixel density was just terrible for me. I love my LG UltraFines though. I&#x27

Ironically I find this even more true for text. It's not just photographers that need the HiDPI - it's people reading and writing text who benefit as well.

You're correct but also Apple had to choose some sort of sweet spot. They chose one that's high ppi (~240) which means that regular monitors will not do but Apple wanted to make sure they were satisfying pro users who in fact do

It matters because if it works and people continue using the platform then other providers will follow and the only remaining E2EE providers will be niche.

Curved displays are polarizing - I definitely am not a fan although some people I know love them. In the olden days of dual monitors when the aspect ratios were more square it made a lot more sense to have them side by side. Now with the

I live in Germany not the US. I mentioned in another comment but aside from the fact that Deepseek mainly targets Linux I expect that the Deepseek devs are using Mac or Linux.
