Re:My MacBook Keyboard Is Broken and It's Insanely Expensive to Fix
on Sunday March 29, 2026 @04:07PM (#47566724)
My MacBook Pro M1 keyboard repair costed >700€, this is not a butterfly keyboard. So also new models have an expensive keyboard replacement.
My previous MacBook Pro keyboard was a butterfly keyboard and also broke, but got replaced for free. I don’t feel I am a heavy user as the MacBook Pro is mostly connected to an external keyboard and am pretty annoyed by apples keyboard quality (based on my sample size of 2).

The linked paper in the GitHub repository doesn’t contain an NVIDIA email. There is an Amazon email and a bunch of university emails.
How come that this paper has become an NVIDIA project?
Re:Should you take creatine?
on Saturday August 16, 2025 @09:42AM (#44923342)
When I first took creatine from an Amazon dealer I had gut problems. I later bought a "micronized" creatine (similar to https://bulevip.com/es/3418-optimum-nutrition-creatina-powde...) and did not experience any gut problems. Taking the same product now for 3 years. Inbetween I used some other variant from time to time and have the theory that some vendors sell a not clean product that interferes with your gut.

In the web version it is unavoidable only in the native app you can change to the original audio.
P.S. I uninstalled the YouTube app because of YouTube Shorts and had to reinstall the app to listen to videos in the original audio.
Re:Google will let companies run Gemini models in their own data centers

Gemini models are written in Jax which through the XLA compiler can be compiled either to TPU or GPU hardware.
Performance may differ but Google (and Nvidia) are very interested in having good performance on both platforms.

Both can be done. Fine-Tuning the prompt is cheaper and can be done on consumer hardware. Fine-tuning the LLM model weights is expensive and needs cloud support.

You would expect this kind of theft to be happening only in Lebanon, but here in Barcelona (Europe) I see the metal covers missing regularly too.
