   If my M1 MBP dies, this is what I would replace it with. I want off the OSX ride.

   I suspect it would perform admirably well with 'Paris' or 'Copenhagen' (see sibling comment), but if you want to have some real fun try 'Southern Spain' or 'Rural Malaysia'.

   For fun I planned a holiday entirely with LLM's lately, and followed through. It used good models and did a lot of searching, including searches in other languages. It got nothing right, riddled with fake places and times. It also foun

   How does this deleted fix_everything.sh fit in to your story? https://github.com/whispem/minikv/commit/6e01d29365f345283ec...

   Yep, but importantly "pigeon" and "dove" are not exactly interchangeable words, there is just no consensus for which is which. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbidae

   Also, many tunnels. Less fumes makes a difference.

    I don't think you should think of it as a paycheck. Delaying a normal career to compete in the olympics will set your career and earning potential back by a few years. This money tries to balance it out a bit.

    People absolutely do give up their athletic career to start a normal career for better financial security.

    This is one of the reasons I use polars.

    by skylurk 9mo ago

    You are not wrong, but for this example you can do something like this to run in threads: import polars as pl pl.DataFrame({"a": [1, 2, 3]}).write_parquet("test.parquet") def print_shape(df: pl.DataFrame

    Luckily, polars has .to_pandas() so you can still pass pandas dataframes to the libraries that really are still stuck on that interface. I maintain one of those libraries and everything is polars internally.

    If you know what you are doing, you can hibernate other kinds of tortoises by placing them in a fridge (as opposed to a freezer). One of my friends does this with their Russian tortoise. If you need to travel, make sure you have someone rel

    You can remove Apple Intelligence offline models. Assuming you already have Apple Intelligence disabled: Enable Siri, change Siri's language to Chinese, wait an hour, disable Siri again. At least, it worked for me yesterday.

    BMW has hardware and software bloat for sure, I hate driving them. But sedans, even the heavy ones, don't really hurt roads much compared to a lorry. As your wikipedia link indicates, any road that is designed for lorry use should be

    They should have to advertise the usable space. Right now it is like opening a can of beans and finding it half water.

    Trademarks differentiate products. App Store is full of shady clones with near identical icons, screenshots and names that differ from the original by a few letters.

    Sorry, I should clarify, I mean battery weight and battery performance. The other components won't be a major differentiator. They can be cheap and still be reliable enough. The specs that we compare when EV shopping are mostly just ho

    Yep. EVs are a once in a lifetime chance for EU and Chinese manufacturers to catch up again or even leapfrog Toyota. Until recently Toyota was 20 years ahead wrt reliability and upkeep. Soon, battery weight and performance will be the main

    Does it work on iPad? Cause that would be really handy for me. Git integration sounds awesome, Obsidian does not work well with git. For example, updating a Hugo/Jekell/Zola site. Hard to do that from iPad.

    Yup. Though I recently learned you can manually upload a local folder (with an index.html etc) to cloudflare pages. They will of course sell you a domain too.
