Yea but, a foldable is way more portable and I'll have it with me always. It will be a nice mobile productivity boost for me.

I'm all for product line-up simplicity. But the story goes that M6 generation isn't getting Pro/Max/Ultra chips, so only lower-end MBP and consumer SKUs get M6 generation. Seems odd for a redesigned MBP to not get fresher chips. Presumably the M7 generation will get the full chip lineups next year on the second-gen 2 nm process.

Except it has no dev kit, it just runs widgets and carplay UIs...

It also does not identify individual speakers.
Is this for Claude Code?

macOS should be an iPadOS app. The hardware is ready! Have a folder mapped into iPadOS Files. Not sure much else is needed.

I hope it's not against any rules... it's not as far as I know of, so I plugged your comment into ChatGPT:

Sure, I'd be happy to help you get started with 3D printing! I'll break it down into a few steps, from learning the basics of 3D modeling to printing your first custom part.

Learn the basics of 3D modeling:

To start, it's important to get familiar with 3D modeling software. Two popular free options are Tinkercad and Blender.

Tinkercad (Beginner-friendly): Tinkercad is a browser-based, user-friendly CAD software that helps you create 3D models easily. It's perfect for beginners. Tinkercad tutorial: https://www.tinkercad.com/learn/designs

Blender (Advanced): Blender is an open-source 3D modeling software with a steeper learning curve but offers more advanced features. Blender tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa1F2ddGya_-UvuAqHAks...

Understand 3D printing basics: Learn about 3D printing technologies, materials, and the process. This will help you make better decisions when designing your parts.

Choose a 3D printer:

When you're ready to buy a 3D printer, consider factors like build volume, material compatibility, and price. A few popular entry-level 3D printers include:

Creality Ender 3: https://www.creality.com/goods-detail/ender-3-3d-printer Prusa i3 MK3S: https://www.prusa3d.com/original-prusa-i3-mk3s

Learn to prepare models for printing:

Once you've designed your 3D model, you'll need to prepare it for printing using slicer software. This software converts your model into instructions for the 3D printer. Popular slicer software includes:

Ultimaker Cura: https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-cura PrusaSlicer: https://www.prusa3d.com/prusaslicer/

Print your first project:

Start with something simple to familiarize yourself with the 3D printing process. Then, move on to more complex projects like your custom Magic Trackpad support.

Join online communities:

Participate in online forums and communities to get advice, feedback, and inspiration. A few popular 3D printing communities include:

r/3Dprinting subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/ Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/

Follow these steps, practice regularly, and you'll be well on your way to becoming a 3D printing hero. Good luck!

Brave powers Brave Search.

Independent search Even supposedly “neutral” or “private” search engines rely on big tech for results. Brave is different. We deliver results based on our own built-from-scratch index. We’re beholden to no one.

I do not believe this was an accident. Or am I accidentally misreading..? :p
Super cool, where's my replicator?
The US doesn't fly rockets over land due to population - I'm sure this is probably law, but I don't know specifically. It's also easier to clear launch zones in water vs land, as vessels have maritime transponders (not sure of law or terminology here). Your last point is probably the most important - being close to cities but far enough away to not bother folks is the dance.

I thought the M1 GPU alone was about as powerful as a 1080. Wouldn't the Neural Engine cores make it faster than a 1080 for ML?

Animations used to be ~2x slower, /that/ was painful. It's much better now, though I could go with another 2x speedup personally.

Is there a Docker release for Apple Silicon yet?
I swear there's some AI going on here. I've noticed that suggestions in my share panel differ depending on content, location, and other things.

Or maybe it's just really undeterministic. :)

I built a simple DNS (and HTTP headers, and SSL) tool that some may like - https://DNSApe.com - and DNSSEC lookups are coming soon!

Re:Show HN: DNSApe – Simple, Fast Network Tools on Wednesday May 01, 2019 @11:49AM (#19798235)
DNSApe 1.1.3 has been released. DNSApe (https://dnsape.com) is a free network tool for anyone that deals with websites on a daily basis. We provide the following tools.

* DNS Records - list DNS records for a domain

* DNS Traversal - show DNS records from root, TLD, and authoritative name servers

* DNS Cache - show DNS records from popular DNS servers

* HTTP Headers - get HTTP headers for a domain

* Whois - Whois lookup (we never save any lookups)

* IP Whois - just what is sounds like...

* SSL - SSL lookup and verification

* Ping - a simple ping from our server

We’ve fixed and added a bunch since our initial New Years release. Here are our new features.

* Dark mode! Our top requested feature...

* Lookup URLs - copy URLs to share and load lookups directly (e.g. https://dnsape.com/ssl/amazon.com or https://dnsape.com/dns/reddit.com)

* Replaced RBL tool with SSL tool (RBL lookup may return later in a more useful state)

* Added client IP address linked to IPWhois lookup in the footer

* Entirely new backend infrastructure (Docker on Vultr behind Cloudflare)

Future features include an upload time calculator, a network subnet calculator, and a one-page domain summary. You can vote on features here (https://dnsape.featureupvote.com).

DNSApe is open source under the MIT license here (https://github.com/srvaudit). We're looking for feedback and suggestions, and of course contributors are welcome!
