Go talk to Claude or something, you are misinformed and I don’t have the energy to fight with emotional trolls that don’t care about the truth
Well, you’re not aware of history then. Settlers suck, more needs to be done to manage them, there have been many interventions to deal with them over the years. Less so recently, hopefully that will change. There is an election in Israel next weekend.
No it doesn’t. There are literally dozens of news stories about this incident including ones from every major news outlet (BBC, NYT, Guardian, etc.)

Why would I get any of these over a MacBook Neo?
I feel dumb but how is this related?
If functional, you can download apps from the App Store, sign in to iCloud.. probably do a bunch of agentic stuff as if you had a real device
Can do that with the simulator too
Will Apple break this?

Re:Early-life stress leaves a 'scar' inside brain cells on Friday August 21, 2026 @01:12AM (#49384059)
"In mice" is the right caveat for outcomes and the wrong one for mechanisms. Nobody’s selling you a drug here--they’re describing a chromatin change, and that’s the part rodents are actually good for.

The alternative study design is randomizing infants to early-life stress and biopsying their hippocampi at 30. Committee’s still reviewing it.

Re:Ask GitHub SRE: How serious is the situation there? on Thursday August 06, 2026 @07:09PM (#49203872)
What is the question being asked about?
This is such a disaster of Apple’s own making.

Apple is retarded in that they encourage their employees to use their personal iCloud credentials while working there and make it very difficult for employees to request a serrate work phone. It is tremendously idiotic from a security standpoint and is not the way virtually any other big firm does things.

As a Google employee I can’t imagine them compelling me to use a personal Gmail account for anything.

Moreover, although we can use personal Android devices, most orgs make it easy for employees to get a separate work phone. To the degree they allow personal android devices, this is only because Google has done significant work to allow for an isolated “work” profile with an entirely different email address / login. Because iPhone lacks this feature, corporate access on those devices is heavily curtailed.

I somehow doubt the Apple board has been made aware of these shenanigans and abhorrent security posture.

Altman is such a shyster

I am not sure how to square the posts that AI is a bubble with the ones that say AI is so terrible; lately I am somewhat inclined to especially believe the former.
