Yeah I came right. Just a minor annoyance. I'm one of the people who actually mostly likes Tahoe. Funny to see how new versions of MacOS always get piled on, in such a groupthink manner. For me personally, once in used to the new UI, g

China is deploying more nuclear and solar than anyone, and their coal use actually went down last year. India is still developing and per capita uses a fraction of the western world. But globally solar and battery use are exploding. We real

It can be good to reduce chrome and focus on content, and have minimal UI's but there's a limit. Your UI still has to be discoverable, and intuitive. With everything hidden away it's unfriendly, particularly for new users.

Iranians are not rebelling against the IRGC because why would they? Generally an outside attack makes the government more popular, not less.

>I want news I don’t want your endless meta commentary on the news. I want commentary on the news. We should be critiquing the news and it's way more interesting that just uncritically accepting mainstream narratives.

M4 is basically an upgraded version of the A18. M1 was A14, albeit upscaled.

People say things like "don't expect to do hardcore content creation on these" (Ars Technica) We used to do hardcore content creation on Intel processors and spinning hard drives that were way shittier. Heck even my M1 still

I thought Anthropic had sophisticated AI, but I am not an expert.

AI was always particularly well suited to military use and mass surveillance. It can take huge amounts of raw data and parse it for your, provide useful information from that. And let's face it, companies exist for profit.

Yeah but China is a low cost economy, rent, food and things like transport and electricity are cheap. That means employers simply can pay workers less than the USA because the cost of living is so high in the USA.

Funny how South Africa has a way more sophisticated banking network than the USA.

Well yeah that's the problem. The Google monopoly. Google and Apple are the only one out there, in the West at least. It's a huge problem. We have given all the power to two giant corporations. Really the only institution which ca

The government has to step in and regulate. In China the regulation specify that Google cannot preload a whole bunch of apps on the device. It's perfectly reasonable. The government is picking the side of huge corporations ahead of peo

Americans use a lot of power. Buying big houses means they have higher heating and cooling costs. All this makes a big difference.

I was quite impressed to learn that the E cores of the M1 are about as fast as an Intel i5 6600/i7 6700 CPU. And they've improved from there. That was literally my desktop CPU for a very long time.

We need more like this. Europe is totally dependent on US companies for cloud computing.
