Yeah and most lawns aren’t composed of native species :/

I can’t lie you sound like you really just have an inordinately specific taste in laptop layout compared to standard laptop users. I’ve never used the pgup/pgdown keys on any machine I’ve owned. Unsure of what your requirements are but my partner has been using an M1 Air fine for going on 6 years now and we have no plans to upgrade it. Soldered ≠ instant e-waste.

I can on my iPhone and MacBook

I prefer typing on my MacBook Pro over a standard keyboard. It’s what I’m used to after primarily using it for a few years for school.

A lot of teachers at my uni use them for drawing on the slides during lecture

I do not understand how people have issues with passkeys. I have used them on my iPhone, my Android phone, on windows, on Linux, and on macOS without issues.

Everything is political, even your stance that it isn’t

I witnessed my first HDR mobile game banner ads recently and it’s horrible and should honestly be illegal or something

Maybe we can all be blessed with 2 quarters from a multi-year class action in a decade

The website on mobile is basically unusable. I like the general theme though

“Extra rain” have you seen what happens when you pour water over dry soil? I’ll tell ya, it doesn’t absorb particularly fast…

words have meaning

“lgtm”

How do the laws of physics allow it? How do you disperse the heat? How do you protect your compute from cosmic rays? How do you get enough solar up there without catastrophic damage from micrometeorites?

I personally don’t like memory, so I disable it on all platforms.

Ive gotten and seen some seemingly cathartic/hateful comments from blue collar workers about SWE being out of a job

Yeah rust has issues. Have you tried splitting your project into multiple crates if possible?

AI, as it stands, only can save you time with non-human interaction “intellectual” tasks on a computer. So really not much

Grades, records, etc I would assume. Someone else pointed out that they recently acquired https://www.parchment.com/ so they may have also been able to scoop up those records too

I got 2. 1 for me and 1 for my brother. I sat with the page loaded and waiting. It opened a few minutes early and I was able to still order a 2nd about 5 minutes into sale

It’s for the iPhone 15 pro and 16 lineup

this sucks. I am going to be graduating soon and hopefully will land a job shortly thereafter. I would have loved to get my hands on one of the cheaper models to toy with but looks like that wont be happening :/

i think this is large part due to the horrific healthcare system we have here in the US. I have personally witnessed family struggle to get help from doctors because they don't interact with a patient's health outside of immediate action items like filling a prescription, writing a summary, charting, writing a referral, etc. They spend 0 time looking into what could actually be wrong with them outside of their immediate knowledge/guess. I would like to think this is due to the shortage of doctors we have here (self inflicted) and the high demands we place on them. It really just sucks to be told to take some med, wait 3 months, and then have to communicate for them between doctors while filling out the same form 3 times.

I don't think they fit in as a layer of abstraction, but instead are outside of it. An abstraction simplifies away the inner workings of what is being abstracted. The LLM exists outside of your code. It is not part of it, thus, it is not abstracting it away. If this were the case, a coworker would be an abstraction to code they own (you could argue this, but I think it erodes the meaning of abstraction). LLMs behave like program synthesizers rather than another layer of abstraction. They take natural language as input, and using fancy math produce a (hopefully) relevant and useful output based on that input. They can produce layers of abstraction, but are not part of a program's abstraction stack.

However, they can abstract away the need to understand implementation, similar to a coworker. They can summarize behavior, be queried for questions, etc, so you don't have to actually understand the inner workings of what is going on. This is a different form of abstraction than the typical abstraction stack of a program.

no because they dont have the same level of responsibility, care, or ability to learn. They do not fulfill the need of a beginner in the field, though they can output code. I'd argue that a junior is more than that

theyre like an advanced form of program synthesis. Something that operates outside of the abstraction layering.

I had an IT job where I got to replace ink in enterprise printers and the tactility was great. I completely understand the convenience of always plugged in and connected drives, but for some media it would be great to have some clicks or tactility when plugging things in, and having more plug and play storage options. I miss the days of plugging in a “thing” which holds a defined media or set of media. Game disks and cartridge support on PC, even if it isn’t practical, would be great to see

Perhaps it’s not about the length of life but instead the quality of life. Gambling addiction is bad but doesn’t necessarily reduce lifespan in a way comparable to smoking, for example.

Has XKCD made another Bobby tables comic for prompt injection?
