Ahh very cool, may have to check it out, thanks.

I see some people in the comments saying they strongly prefer Linux desktop to Mac/Windows. If you are one of those people, I am curious - are you comfortable changing system configurations, using the terminal, updating system software

Does planner have native apps on iOS/iPad that it syncs with? If it does, I can’t find it in the App Store currently.

I don’t think that we should be essentially punishing spacex for their massive success by suddenly telling them they’re required to take every customer at government-approved prices. SpaceX isn’t a utility, and no one/no government has

I think the author answers half of the question in his post: at least in the hard sciences, it’s becoming massively harder to stand out because most, if not all, the low hanging fruit has been picked. The second half is that there are far

Not far off. The “golden age” of humanity was shattered long ago, with the mortal wounding of the god emperor, and knowledge of most of the greatest technology was lost.Millennia later, a cult has grown up that both worships and maintains t

I don’t understand. Are you suggesting “enjoying” your car while under the influence is not a terrible life decision? And are you equating manual labor (many of whom will purchase pickup trucks for their job) with poor life choices? Seems a

I remember fondly when I had an iPod, the one time I had an issue with it (can’t remember what, honestly), I just walked into an apple store and probably 5-10 minutes later walked out with a new device, free of charge, no questions asked (a

I am confused. I spent a decent amount of time reading the thread and the linked article, and I see no proof, only an accusation that Amazon/Audible are manipulating their calculation of “Net Sales” in “shady ways”. Is the accusation t

As someone who never touches drivers or hardware directly, these sorts of stories are just wild to me, I love reading them. Congrats to Alyssa and the team; as usual, a very interesting write up and impressive work.

Considering Australias stance on encryption and just about everything else tech related, I don’t see this as reflecting negatively on Meta.

Sorry I should have been clearer. As far as I am aware, the M1 is still better at perf/watt (again, comparing TSMC 5 to 7, so it’s not unexpected) - for laptops, the M1 also has an extremely low idle power draw that I don’t think anyon

I love my M1, but it is most certainly not alien technology that can’t be replicated, nor does it imply that other foundries/chip designers can’t catch up. In many respects AMD is already very close (on a previous node, no less), and I

Does anyone have any real research showing IF having benefits beyond what one achieves through healthy eating and general weight loss in humans? Seems like every paper i see is either in animals or cell cultures, or does not have a proper c

I’m as concerned as anyone about apples behavior with services in general, and the App Store in particular. But it’s also true that the market is not iPhones, it’s smart phones. And Apple is most certainly not a monopoly in smart phones or

I am fully capable of recognizing the complexity of the world around me and still feeling bored once in awhile.

I feel similarly. I love playing around with Julia, and it’s nice for academic one offs, but I wouldn’t choose to use it for a serious deployment at my job. And the interesting part about ML is that industry is very close to academia relati

What’s unlawful for the NSA to collect is defined by US law, not EU law. I’m sure they could ask the US nicely, and the NSA may even pretend to listen to their complaints for a little bit :)

The entire point of private relay is that neither Apple nor the third party CDN can match the destination website to an individual. If your argument is “they probably aren’t doing what they say they’re doing” and so you shouldn’t use their

Full agree on both points. I’d also add that if the papers are in any true experimental science field, a baseline understanding of probability and statistics will be necessary for the reader to really understand the results. For CS or theor

While I share the hope for such technologies (and hopefully some form of complete digital personal ID system in the same vein), that would require government mandates, which I think will be unlikely considering we can’t even get major inves

To be clear I’m not defending Alex in any way. I think it’s quite clear he should lose his job and probably be in jail, depending on the outcome of the evidence collection and eventual trial, of course. I was saying the blanket statement th

No, it’s only a danger if that person actually commits violence. Let’s not advocate for punishing people based on hearsay. I like to think we have enough examples of that backfiring spectacularly throughout history to have learned our lesso

You have not provided any evidence or examples, just a “trust me”, which is essentially worthless. Also, there is a difference between a secret and a conspiracy. Secrets can survive for a long time, whereas history suggests that conspiracie

At my company at least, we definitely prefer longer average tenures over shorter ones. Very short stays (say less than 2-3 years) and many hops implies you’re more interested in filling out your resume and jumping to the next pay raise than

That’s interesting - do Google/TikTok use cloudflare in front of all their ingress points? If not, I don’t see how Cloudflare could get an accurate assessment of the number of hits. I guess I’m just not sure how Cloudflare Radar works.

If you mean the technical details of attention models, the original paper “Attention is all you need” is not too difficult to read. If you’re more interested in applications, hugging face has a “course” on their website that walks through t

Because of how each state handles education separately, and the presence of private schools, in the US you have a wide variety of high school outcomes. From kids that aren’t literate, to kids who could probably earn a bachelors in less than
