People here are suggesting limiting your battery charge as a proactive measure to prevent degradation but an M3 is far too new for you to be getting so poor battery life from use, even if you spent all day every day charging and dischargi

Yes, and GP is arguing that it should be optimized for morning people instead. Hence my comment.

Maybe just once we can not bias literally everything in life towards morning people and throw night owls a bone?

I think very nearly every assertion in this statement is demonstrably untrue.

I found it funny because the opposite direction, people accused Tesla of naming “autopilot” misleadingly, because it gave them the impression of fully unattended self-driving. In aviation, autopilot features were until recently (and still f

I just did a quick once-over on the PR and am pretty shocked by how "simple" it is. For switching the background graphics library, I would have expected this to be some pretty delicate surgery. But the "meat" is swapping

I’m not really sure the point you’re trying to make behind “as long as you don’t mind dying early and painfully from easily preventable diseases technically you can live in utopia”. Would you mind clarifying your position here?

That is not what happened with chess engines. We didn’t just throw better hardware at it, we found new algorithms, improved the accuracy and performance of our position evaluation functions, discovered more efficient data structures, etc. P

When chess engines were first developed, they were strictly worse than the best humans. After many years of development, they became helpful to even the best humans even though they were still beatable (1985–1997). Eventually they caught up

Google built ten different chat products, how did that go?

That was 2024. I wonder what could possibly be different about today, in 2026?

And 20 years ago people were making the exact same kinds of comments and everyone had the same reaction: yeah, MySQL has been putting numbers up like that for a decade.

Even more complications for a “why can’t they just…”. It’s almost as if this kind of thing is difficult to do in practice.

That is about one fiftieth of the work that needs to go into the feature the OP casually “why can’t they just”-ed.

Lockdown mode doesn’t require everyone else to lose large amounts of usable space on their own devices in order for you to have plausible deniability.

Absolutely every aspect of it? What’s so hard about adding a feature that effectively makes a single-user device multi-user? Which needs the ability to have plausible deniability for the existence of those other users? Which means that sign

The TL;DR is they radiate it into space via large, high surface area arms that stick out of the station.

Drive that slowly. I’m exaggerating obviously but the norm is to speed.

> the human driver would usually drive more closely to the centerline of such a residential road I certainly do this. But asserting that most humans would usually do this? Have you ever actually seen humans drive cars? This is absolute

The car was driving 17mph before braking. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a human drive at 17mph in a school zone or other area children congregate.

There are always going to be outlier events. If for every one person who still manages to get hit—at slow, easily-survivable speeds—you prevent five others from being killed, it’s a pretty obvious choice.

Gosh, no, the self-driving cars will be forced to drive at safe speeds in pedestrian corridors as opposed to voluntarily driving at safe speeds in pedestrian corridors. How awful.

I hate the classic “everyone should be an expert at IT and it’s their fault and they had it coming due to their own ignorance if they make mistakes” argument far more than you hate mine.

On the planet where inflation turns $100k into an effective $20k by the time you family sees it. If your only metric for generational wealth is that the next generation of your family gets it, then sure, tautologically the second amount pai

We have now moved the goalposts from starting to build generational wealth to maybe part of a down payment on a house in a low-demand area in their mid-forties, assuming they have enough income to still qualify for the loan on the property.
359.
by stouset 9mo ago
$200k is not even remotely close to generational wealth, particularly when structured as $100k 20 years from now and another $100k 50-ish years from now. Those would be worth an estimated $55k and $22k in inflation-adjusted dollars. It’s a

Speaking of animations, it’s shocking to me how bad they are. I turned on hiding the taskbar the other day. I don’t think they’ve changed it since Windows 95. I have a modern gaming laptop, and the animation is purely linear, no accelerat
