I think most companies have realized there is substantial value in terms of security maintenance, stability and the contractual obligations associated with SaaS vendors versus internal vibe-coded tools. Certainly there is a place for tailor

This is a real return to form for Apple. It's fun, pricing feels spot on for this market segment, the continued success of early M1 machines I think proves the spec limitations will not be a real world issue. This is excellent market s

Assuming the Neo is broadly available, which it very likely will be, the price will likely continue to come down. The used market will be strong on Neos. It's never really going to compete for the ultra-budget conscious market but that

I'm not sure this really makes sense. The single core performance for the iphone chip is leagues ahead of anything even a couple years old. They can likely increase clock speed of the iphone chip in a larger chassis so the performance

I have an m4 pro MBP, 1tb storage and 24gb RAM. Not seeing any reason to consider an upgrade whatsoever.

This is likely a generalized problem with basic science. In applied science you need to be very careful about fraud because ultimately the application of research findings will end up in customers hands who can and will pursue legal action

I pay 20$/mo for chatGPT. I find searching through websites for information feels very outdated. I have some websites I specifically visit (e.g. aggregators like HN, journalism like WSJ), but if I want information I am going to have ch

Energy overproduction is going to become a serious viability problem for baseload generators, which in time will significantly affect grid reliability. Rolling blackouts will become the norm unless we figure out a serious scalable solution

I mean this is true, but I think its more realistically like the appraiser doesn't want to create a situation where it tanks a sale if they can avoid it. When I bought my house in 2022 there was a bidding war (like every house sale in

Biden has said he won't enforce the ban and Trump has said he will keep TikTok from going dark. Shou is attending the inauguration. Ivanka and Kai are posting actively on TikTok. It is not going anywhere.

Oh shit, I accidentally `git reset HEAD~1` and moved the last commit to file diffs, which was a merge to master, and my file diff now is both the last branch merge and everything I've done in the last 8hrs. I did this once and it was a

I have to imagine Apple is working (very long-term, slowly) towards either a unified OS or a true overhaul of ipadOS that addresses the concerns. They just are fundamentally not incentivized to actually fix the problem. People will just buy

Fwiw you can set their router to bridge mode and use your own. It is probably still doing some traffic analysis but certainly no ad injection. This is what I do to get unlimited data without paying their exorbitant standalone fee.

I don't really understand the consternation about this. AI was still providing initial labeling and confidence intervals on every interaction, tagging a feed of questionable/unsure situations for humans to verify. The goal would h

Local housing policy only sets housing costs explicitly if they override market forces e.g. via rent control. There are plenty of examples of how the market responds to this type of intervention, by not building more supply, letting existin

In their example (Seattle) this is already the case. I've seen this software in action, the rent price for each unit is available online but fluctuates day to day according to market demand, and is automatically higher when a unit is a

There is no reason to move off of Apple's App Store unless you are explicitly trying to avoid their fees, which pretty much only applies to revenue generating apps that stand to profit more by avoiding Apple's commissions than 0.5

I'm sorry, I don't think you have sufficient perspective on what middle class life is like in France to make this comment with any justification. French taxation is incredibly complex and heavy on the middle class. It is financial

New iphone ships with a beautiful braided USB-C cable that's charge only. I'm going to cannibalize the usb-c cable from my external nvme drive if I ever want to plug the new phone in. Some usb-c cables are 100W compliant, many are

How is this going to solve anything? Unless the school itself has skin in the loan, currently the only impact of bankruptcy discharge would be on private loan operators (who would probably go under) or on taxpayers who would absorb the loan

Even if no one is skipping step C, the enforcement mechanism requires auditing. If there exists an alternative to step C, is it compliant with the regulatory requirement? The regulation itself introduces legal risk which needs to be mitigat

My experience is the opposite. TikTok curation is incredibly efficient at honing in on the content niches that appeal to you. My TikTok feed feels very personal, I regularly interact in the comments and find some truly insightful discussion

The movement towards renewables and away from reliable, inexpensive fossil generation will continue this trend in years to come. Gas generation is increasingly economically unviable with so much competition from renewables, but it remains n

Not to defend SF but there are about 30 US cities with a higher homocide rate, that don't get nearly as much attention. SF is absolutely overrun by homeless though.

This is completely at odds with the French GR ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GR_footpath ) trail. There are legal mandates to require public access to all coastline country wide and they are aggressively enforced. Nothi

Well technically you do consent to sharing your information with reporting agencies every time you interact with a lender or issuer. I realize this is a technicality as we are essentially forced to do this in order to interact with the US p
