When the MacBook is fully charged and still plugged in, it bypasses the battery and runs directly off power from the wall adapter. So those batteries are hardly doing anything.

That's a lot of work to avoid just designing a 360 hinge. It's also a missed opportunity to sell more pencils. I can't see how anyone would find it convenient to use a pencil on a vertical screen.

That configuration has trackpad and keyboard sold to you by Apple. It's sold specifically to people who don't want to touch their iPad for work and also want to convenience of a lighweight case.

What's the point of a touch display if the laptop doesn't have a 360 hinge !? The interaction looks very awkward and unless they stiffen the hinge compared to previous model, the thin screen will keep tilting backwards.

I live in Morocco, we've been on and off GMT+1 FOUR times every year since early 2010s. There isn't one person you'd ask who wouldn't tell you they're in a perpetual state of jet lag. Lately the previous prime minister announced daylight saving time will be scraped (not from the kindness of his heart, he's a billionaire who benefited the most from it) but he used it to draw votes for his party for the elections last month (they lost the majority).

And now a month on, and I feel so so much better, my depression is slowly disappearing and i've been on meds for 2 years tried both SSRIs and NDRIs, nothing worked. And it's not just me, lots of people are feeling in a much better place mentally.

Easy to say when you have your own hardware.

It’s a race to the bottom to see who blinks first and goes bankrupt. It’s not sustainable.

I'm typing with stitches still in my jaw after a surgery to remove a wisdom tooth.

I feel the same about dentists, I've never found a dentist where I said this is the one. They all seem to wing it as they go. Story short, I went for orthodontic treatment to a dentist that I thought had an orthodontia specialty as well, she said nothing and suggested a few works and a couple fillings before the orthodontic treatment, I said fine why not. But among which, removal of 2 remaining wisdom teeth to "create space" even though I haven't found on the internet any scientific evidence saying wisdom teeth contribute to a crowded mouth.

Anyway, she removed an upper one (with difficulty), then 2 weeks later removed a lower one with only a panoramic xray that doesn't show much about the roots and the alveolar nerve's position in relation to the root. As soon as she started pulling it, the crown snapped right off and left the roots in there almost level with the gum line. She did another xray of the remaining roots and ONLY THEN she realized the alveolar nerve is so close to the root it's almost touching it. At that point I felt she freaked out for how close she was to cause loss of sensation in half my jaw. She said it's fine, the "the roots won't interfere with your orthodontic treatment" so I recommend you just leave the roots there. And I was like, but you're contradicting yourself, if they wouldn't interfere then recommend I remove it !?

Anyway, I got off the table and headed straight to another doctor who specializes in maxillary surgery and orthodontia, he took one look and asked "Did she use a cone beam x-ray before trying to extract it?", I said no, and I could see him sigh in frustration.

I did the cone beam and it turned out the roots were almost touching the nerve and he recommended I get it surgically removed. So with the blood still running from the first attempt, I got on the table and got bone removed from my jaw to access a monstrosity of a root. It took an hour and a half to remove it eventually.

Oh and when the first dentist finished with the bunch of treatments she recommended, she said she will not be doing the orthodontic treatment for me and she brought in a friend of hers who graduated just last year.

The problem was that the ECUs went into limp mode due to multiple factors triggered by the drivers driving slowly (slick tires, wet surface, new PU ... ) and the ECUs are programmed to go into limp mode to protect the ICE, since it had no battery anymore and no turbo boost. The update was simply disabling that failsafe.

Not to mention, to get access to many of these apps, you have to pay for them. So basically you're paying an exorbitant yearly amount and your data is still going to be exfiltrated.

Reading this article with a bittersweet feeling. This is exactly the kind of work I wanted to do for the rest of my life while in Biology class at uni 15 years ago. But I dropped out and ended up in a completely different field (Design). But I still have that fondness of Biology in me all these years later.

Literally just today I got delivery of a Corolla Sport. And would have bought a full EV one if it existed. Oh well!

In arabic they are called "Shamandar"

That absolute worst combination of factors that could combine in this disaster did indeed combine.

None of my doctors spoke of the withdrawal side effects. But they'd happily prescribe stuff.

I was on SSRI (Sertraline) for around a year, and it absolutely demolished my libido, to a point where I became repulsed by it and actively avoided anything sexual with my wife. Luckily, I didn't gain any weight but the sexual side effects were brutal. I eventually visited a couple other doctors, same story, keep sertraline, increase the dose and here are some multivitamins, good luck bro.

Eventually had enough of the bull** and stopped it all cold turkey, both Sertraline and Lamotrigine, no tapering off or anything. The headaches that followed were brutal but for me it was way better than the risk of ruining my marriage.

A year later, I went back for another try, got prescribed Bupropion and Lamotrigine (again) but neither made any difference, they basically had the same effect as the water I drank with them. So again, stopped them cold turkey and vowed to never get any drugs for my depression and anxiety, and came out with the conclusion that therapy is broken. They'd happily prescribe meds than actually get to the bottom of the issue, it's a symptomatic treatment.

> This makes me wonder if AI companies even have a MOAT in the first place.

They don't. The moat will mainly be the tooling around AI, not the AI itself. You don't hear any company claiming their moat is the Internet.

She makes a great duo with Michael from V Sauce

This also shows why Anthropic is just not ready for an IPO. This admin can pump or crash the stock with dubious decisions.

I have a stairlift to sell you.

Not even stairs, looks like one step will defeat this $8000 robot.

From the looks of it, you're gonna need one robot per floor. On the one hand, it's refreshing seeing a robot that's not a creepy humanoid, on the other, how is it gonna deal with steps and stairs ?
