   Data engineer here: I use this all the time. It's amazing. For most of the data the sizes we often deal with it's perfect.

   I wish someone would do something similar for TVs. Just a really fantastic panel with only the tech needed to decode HDMI or whatever and show it on the screen. No other tech whatsover: no telemetry, no smart anything, nothing.

   Anthropic should be increasing the value and services they offer not reducing it. It’s the Apple model. Yes you pay a ton more. But my 2013 MacBook Pro 15 I got in college lasted 10 years and was still fine even when it was stolen. That’s w

   This reminds me of the legit coal smoke black PowerBooks of yesteryear. If they make a 16 inch model I’ll def consider it.

   Welp this just removes them if they get bought (and likely also if they coordinate even more with an Elon company) from my list of tools I’ll use. Crazy a fork of vscode is worth 60B. What’s vscode worth to Microsoft? 200B?

   They rev’d it. I hope they don’t. I was looking forward to an “air” version. I really want one.

   We have virtual shares that vest on sale. I won’t be rich. Enough to take a nice trip to Mallorca after taxes.

   Yeah glad to see a hardware person take the helm and not a bean counter. The hardware is masterful now. Let’s keep it that way. Wonder if he kills the Vision Pro.

    Here’s hoping the hardware stays awesome. I’m curious if Ternus kills the Vision Pro as I’m under the impression it’s Tim Cook’s baby.

    “Mr. Cook, 65, will move into a new role as Apple’s executive chairman in September and be succeeded in the company’s corner office by John Ternus, the 50-year-old head of Apple’s hardware engineering.”

    oh man uber is acquiring the company I work for [1] and we currently really like Claude ... but if Codex is better so be it. I just really, really, really like Claude Code as a front end. Guess I'll have to make it talk Codex instead.

    im keen to check this out. since I've moved 100% to the Mac [1] I've been keen to move away from Docker to something like Apple Containers [2] which runs each "container" as an isolated vm. So I wanna try this out, too.

    So many people worshipped the jobs distortion field but it was nothing compared to the gaslighting Elon has been able to do with Tesla. The man promised things he couldn’t deliver over and over and over again and investors are it up turning

    Why anyone would willingly leave the private sector to work for this administration of charlatans, rapists, drunkards and grifters is beyond me. Wait till there’s a new administration. Vote for sanity first. Then let government stabilize. T

    Everyone asking was this vibe coded should calm down. Instead we should just have automated ways to audit the code to see if it’s secure, see if it’s going to steal our keys, etc. If it provides value who cares? I mean we could read the cod

    every *Overflow site other than the main one for asking coding questions has been very good to me. StackOverflow was a terrible experience. What LLMs got right was when asking seemingly stupid questions, or simple questions, or RTFM-answera
