I love the T Series Thinkpads... had several of them and recently did a RAM and SSD upgrade to one that is still running great. The only thing they need to improve is the trackpad. It's not bad, but the macbook trackpad is still king.
I do see it in one photo on their site. I just hide mine with software ("topnotch") and it's fine.
> You can’t fucking trust anyone not to chase money these days.
I don't even mind paying a reasonable amount for Bidwarden (as I do) or other things I find valuable, but it's the unlimited growth of profit that disgusts me. My Grand Father, Father, and myself were/are all business people (in very different industries) and we'd all be ashamed to double the price of something simply for more profit.
and pacing doesn't necessarily even mean slowing down. It just means they're controlling the iteration speed. They can increase pace or decrease pace.
One theory about the regulatory capture angle is that it's not just to shutdown competition as usual, but also a way to slow the runaway spending that might eventually have major economic impact.
I prefer 5.6 Luna while a coworker prefers 3.8 Flash. The difference seems to be that they chat with Flash (with code context) while I just ask Luna to directly modify the code. I was already very impressed with 5.6 Luna so I am looking forward to running 6.0 Luna all day tomorrow to see how it compares.
That is fascinating. Out of curiosity, how far apart would the paths have had to remain in order to be ok with just two links? Like, I'm thinking a plane crash between those two links in the 400m zone could destory both links so a third link makes sense, but if it were 800m that would probably be fine? Or what magnitude of disaster are they trying to mitigate and how much separation would that require for just two links?
Like any intelligent source of important information... trust but verify.
> You can also create reasonably diversified data silos within a country.
I generally agree, although if a small country only had half a dozen or so redundant data centers then it would be relatively easy for a powerful adversary to wipe out all of the data centers and potentially have a significant economic impact on that country.
Having a backup data center in an ally country might make sense. Kind of like how I keep an encrypted backup hard drive at my parents house. Whenever I go to visit I pull it out and backup my laptop there too.
It wouldn't be behind their back, like I said, "Maybe let website owners decide which scrapers are allowed to use their content, or allow them to get paid for use of it."
I was thinking the same thing... paid access for high volume users or scrapers could actually help fund the non-profit. Maybe let website owners decide which scrapers are allowed to use their content, or allow them to get paid for use of it. If news and other sites were getting paid, maybe they could go back to optimizing for good content instead of clicks.
> The keyboard remains unfixed, as is tradition.
Jeez. I wish they could just roll the keyboard back to iOS 7. That's the last version where it was good.
> with several decent TVs in the house I'd watch movies most of the time with one of them
Once these headsets have comparable image quality, I could see them being very engaging for TV series, sports, and movies. I often wear headphones at night when I'm watching content to avoid waking my family. Being able to do that in any room, with an even larger "screen" would be really useful in some cases.
For sure. I think this is more for someone who wants something portable though.
I fully agree. I'm just saying we already know the crease is slightly visible on day one and that's the best they could get it at this point. I'm sure they wanted to do better than that but the tech just isn't there yet.
Yep, and at that point it doesn't matter. I mean, I know Apple likes to paint the back of the fence, but the technology isn't quite there for no crease just yet.
Very cool idea. It would be nice if you could enable your camera and then control mod/pitch with head up/down left/right motions.
It's easier to get permits in Texas than most other states, which is especially important for the power generation that some of these data centers are building.
For our internal tooling we use something similar to a bash profile config file with name/value pairs separated by linebreaks. So, our configs look something like:
env=staging
db=0.0.0.0
#descriptive comment
etc=true
No this one specifically for me, but same idea. I want to use safari, especially for battery life, but there are too many behaviors about Safari that I can't change.
> the second a tab is off
Can you explain what you mean by this phrase?
Also include sliders so parameters can be adjusted to see how it affects the mechanism (ex. wheel radius).
Figma is a good example of this UI paradigm done well, lots of users, and financial success.
> In many industries, if you can't do something safely, you simply can't do it at all.
Absolutely!
Related story... my wife works in a regulated industry and she was running facebook ads for one of their new products. Facebook had just introduced Ai generated ad-copy and the ad agency didn't know that option was turned on by default so they uploaded all of the ad-copy that was approved by legal and then facebook was running all of these alternative ads that were actually illegal because the copy it wrote were all claims they are not allowed to make in that industry. They only caught it because one of the ads was served to my wife and she immediately noticed it was copy that was not approved and something they could not claim.
I always assumed these shady ads were created by shady people, and I think a lot are, but I wonder how many companies are unintentionally running shady ads because facebook generated those ads.
> Do not underestimate how much popular harnesses are spamming the context window. The context window is very important.
Do we have any insight into whether it is actually spam and not useful info such as project or programming language specific context?
For sure. I had a huge following on my wordpress blog 15 years ago and email was how everyone got notified of new content. I'm sure there's a way to at least do sms now if people want that level of notification.
Use an independent cleaner. My cleaning lady is a great cleaner, but she can barely manage her cellphone, so she's not training AIs.
Space was definitely what I pressed first to fire. Then enter. Then shift. Later I realized the menu has the key bindings in it.
Exactly. All my IoT stuff is on it's own wifi network and VLAN because I don't trust the initial or long term security of some of these manufacturers.
