I just replaced my 10(!) year old 15" MBP with a new 16" (M3, but I needed it at the time, and the difference between M3 and M4 is not enough to worry me). It's almost exactly the same size and weight, I prefer the shape of t

I'm one that does. I've got two MMs because I have a desktop iMac (27" 2019) and a laptop for travel and I have a MM for the laptop so that I can scroll using it in my hand while in a hotel room or when doing presentations. S

How long before a "prompt engineering" company name is registered?

It's a tick-the-box-for-compliance item like when Microsoft had a POSIX layer for Windows NT.

The tool is not the issue. There is a lot of investment in AI as part of pharmaceutical development, in imaging (like the topic of the paper), in diagnostic and therapeutic designs. Just because the money is also being spent on "ente

I'm coming up to my 40th anniversary in computing, started as a programmer on the original IBM PC. There's no such thing as software "engineering" on the same basis as being a professionally licensed "engineer"

Yes, it's blown out on cost, primarily because of tunnelling issues. Your point about large amounts of storage and the network capacity etc is correct, however, no one "just assume[s] a infinite copper grid". AEMOs ISP includ

On the other hand, there is active development of the grid now in the Eastern states. Plans for extensions of the transmission network in Victoria to support offshore wind as well as to a renewables zone, plus new interconnectors to NSW.

In Web framework terms, DNA is a message schema that generates messages (mRNA) which can have microDNA applying direct injection to disable certain fields so that the receiving micro service produces a different result.

I like the German roundabouts that have 3 lanes at each entry. The furthest left takes you to the 3rd exit (left hand turn), the middle takes you to the 2nd exit (straight ahead), and the right hand lane takes you the 1st exit (right hand t

Sure, but it's security by obscurity and relying an the receiving and sending servers to maintain that cache long enough at both ends. The problem is that the DNS contains an MX record that says where to deliver email for a domain. So

Except that terminals didn't exist when ASCII was created, printers existed, either with a "carriage" that carried the actual print head (like IBM Selectric typewriters, or the original ASR33 teletypes) or "chain printer

If ASCII didn't have control sequences then teletypes wouldn't have worked. How do you make the carriage (a literal thing on a chain being driven back and forth) "return" to the start of the line without a "carria

It's irritating (to say the least) that we have a distributed information service (DNS) that so botched its security implementation that logical things like storing public keys now require a web server, running http (!) and allowing a

Use Macports, it works better with MacOS and the existing frameworks etc. Has all the same things like the GNU coreutils etc, they live in /opt/local/bin and don't fight with SEP or users.

I'm in Australia, so not a customer (yet), but I like the idea. I made a comment before about the potential for AI on the seller side of the transaction too. One question/quibble: How is the data collected from buyers kept isolate

by rswail 2y ago
With the continuing advancement of AI in terms of dealing with both buyers and sellers, the tools should focus on both the buyers and the sellers. The need for an "agent" as such becomes an unnecessary cost, if you can get an &quo

In Australia, buying agents are rare. The standard is that the seller engages an agent to sell the property, the fees (and other expenses) are charged by the agent to the seller. One of the problems that is affecting our real estate market

Yes, because this is a Federal government organization, so it is backed by the Federal government/US Treasury. So "pre-funding" pensions is nonsense because the pensions will be paid out of a) the USPS current revenues, or b)
