It may not have started that way but there definitely was some amount of commenters that took it quite literally

Relative to their other compute or other players inference, not as significantly. Though yes, they certainly have some share.

I think there are some really interesting thought there, but I’d challenge some of this: > Models are not free. Downloading them is free. Running them is not. This has manufacturing economics, not software economics; the idea that they a

That’s fair. What’s the Apple-recommended way to avoid this? I interact with a lot of software and tend not to hit it but I also don’t really interact with downloaded executables

I’ve been developing on MacOS for years and don’t think I’m familiar with what you’re talking about. I’m familiar with the warnings, but hardly ever see them.

There is a somewhat valid argument to be made that aggressively trying to hack these insecure government portals could lead to a real reprioritization towards competence.

What you’re describing is essentially the concept of civic duty and, at least in America, it’s unfortunately become deconstructed and politicized to the point where it’s impossible to exist as a meaningful cultural phenomenon. It also relie

I’ll defend batterygate. If you know anything about batteries (especially the tendencies of those in that era), the actions taken by Apple were reasonable, though they should have considered the light in which throttling would be taken. The

Fair point! Was mostly an intrusive technical thought

I think my silly and unserious naive response would be linear scaling bundled binaries with number of platforms doesn’t seem to be that materially different in terms of total size. But I see your point, didn’t consider the architectures

It seems SQLite could be evolve to solve this by just bundling itself entirely in the data files? After all, the binary is less than 1MB, anywhere you’re putting a database surely has at least that much overhead, for most applications it’s

Agree, tbh. If I’m doing frontend I’m just using svelte nowadays. It’s quite nice.

Your comment made me laugh but I had a similar experience. It felt almost voyeuristic with how far I am from whoever they’re trying to reach, like I’m reading someone’s private journal.

Could not agree more it makes a ton of sense

Oh funny, my intuition when I was writing that was “there’s probably an xkcd what if about this”, but I imagined it be about surrounding the sun with mirrors. Same idea though in the end

> The temperature at the focal point may reach 3,500 °C I thought this was interesting because it doesn’t really seem like an applicable top level claim, surely this is referring to a specific furnace, not all solar furnaces? Then this g

Being spurned is one possible motivation, but so is an outstanding offer, where you go from middle of the pack performer with career stagnation to superstar leading the hot new product.

Honestly yes, that’s most likely a major factor

An acquaintance of mine was accidentally wired about $100k when it was supposed to be $5k. Before it could be reversed, they moved accounts and immediately bought a one way flight out of country. They then changed all socials and handles. T

LoC isn’t a super helpful metric so I think the better question is why is the headline using it. I can say I’ve personally created about 200k LoC code in the last 5 years and most of that has some value. But it really doesn’t say might abou

As a TS dev, it’s probably because we already have such a high pain tolerance and low expectations.

I have no issue repurposing biological waste as fertilizer, that’s fine. But sewage is not just biological waste. It’s got all sorts of other shit in it that’s not suitable for reentry into the food chain. This isn’t a practice that should
