Oh that is definitely part of it. But new generations also don’t have a point of reference. I certainly don’t know if the 70s or the 80s were truly that great. Outside economic and social indicators (income, life expectancy — all of which s

It was there again in the 90s after the wall fell. Fukuyama was boldly proclaiming the “end of history.” Newt started to kick at the edges with his combative policies but the inertia continued until the dotcom crash and 9/11 came along

I heard someone randomly say that they should replace Tim Cook with Scott Forstall. I chuckled at the idea but this might be a great idea. Fadell might also be a good choice. Either way it should be someone currently outside Apple. The co

Came here to say. I don’t know enough about their inspection guidelines and how intrusive it is on the train’s systems, but anytime you do something outside the norm (including inspections) you introduce a variable that may have played a pa

It’s a serious question but it’s not a relevant one. There isn’t a ballot with just “Pahlavi” and “Ayatollah” on it; and there probably never will be considering how much Iranians hate both.
96.
by master_crab 9mo ago
It was actually over four decades ago. The Pahlavis still have a negative perception in Iran. Just because they aren’t the Ayatollahs doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to bring them up.

The quickest way to kill a revolution in Iran is to air anything from the Shah’s family. The previous revolt happened for a reason.

This seems like the contrarian argument to libertarianism. A libertarian might claim it is orthogonal to it in theory, but in practice it is very much relevant to a “break all the walls down” ideology.

Is this a grey box replica of the Mac 32in? Because I’d interested if it is.

One of the solar farms is in a tidal flat. Are those solar panels meant to be waterproof? I’d imagine they may not last as long from sea salt exposure too.

So is Claude. They nuked everyone's claude app a few days ago by pushing a shoddy changelog that crashed the app during init. Team literally doesnt understand how to implement try...catch. The thing clearly was vibe coded into existenc

This is a post-covid, post Trump world, post AI influenced RAM price world. $150 isn’t the barrier it used to be.

It goes without saying that VCS is essential to using an AI tool. Provided it sticks to your working directory.

AI isn’t penetrating but all the money needed to invest in the economy has moved over. Maybe that’s also part of the problem

We've stacked up a lot of evidence that human language is much too loose and mushy to be formalized in a meaningful way. Lossy might also be a way of putting it, like a bad compression algorithm. Written language carries far less inf

Yeah I thought the same thing too. Takes a few moments. A UX suggestion for the author. If a user wants it off, it doesn’t need to be graceful, just quick.

Is there a reason Apple can’t focus on system improvements instead of constantly tweaking with their UI so thoroughly every couple years? I don’t disagree the OS UI needs to be revamped periodically, but it seems they do it too often.

True, but you can turn it off with the snowflake icon at the top.

Software doesn’t have an incremental cost. The cost of one unit of software is the same as the cost of 1 trillion units of software. That’s not the same as real world items.

Git is just the repo store. Everything you are referring to is the CI/CD pipeline. GitHub actions, Gitlab Runners, ArgoCD; they can all do some sort of gitops. Those dependencies existed before gitops anyway, so nothing new is being ad

ArgoCD only works on kubernetes. That hasn’t changed.

This is interesting. Particularly the notifications flow. I run a simpler setup with webssh on my iPhone over WG back to my LAN and manage Claude that way. It’s fine, and can handle disconnects (with some big cons). I can run code-server vi

If you are running lightweight models like deepseek 32B. But anything more and it’ll drop. Also, costs have risen a lot in the last month for RAM and AI adjacent hardware. It’s definitely not 2k for the rig needed for 50 tokens a second
114.
by master_crab 9mo ago
This requires hardware in the tens of thousands of dollars (if we want the tokens spit out at a reasonable pace). Maybe in 3-5 years this will work on consumer hardware at speed, but not in the immediate term.

What?!? Not end in one day? Nonsense! Soon you will be telling me the Taliban still run Kabul.

This is why you have government regulation. It’s not perfect, but at least a government is accountable to something other than a profit motive.

If you are wondering why this looks so familiar, it’s because it’s a bolt-for-bolt copy of the B-29. The Soviets got their hands on a few B-29s that conducted emergency landings in their territory after the planes finished operating over Ja

Can anyone elif why it makes sense to build a boat with 250 tones of batteries as opposed to building a generator/motor combo that many ships and trains use now?

by master_crab 10mo ago
It’s not a valid argument. But it is a valid observation.
