interesting, i for one didn’t know about updating the timestamps haha, i’ve only ever used touch to create an empty file

like really what's the point of this laptop man, just trying to get more money out of people who otherwise wouldve gotten the M6 Air?

while understandable i think you are too hasty. the side shown does indeed only have two usb c ports and the magsafe port, but the other side will almost certainly still have the usb c, hdmi, and card reader (cant remember if they added a second usb c port there at some point as well)

also, i don't blame you for this given that Apple's naming scheme is so fucked here but the 32gb limitation is for the MacBook Pro with the M6, _not_ the MacBook Pro with the M6 Pro or M6 Max. yes, that is confusing, but imo the standard MacBook "Pro" with the base M chip is basically a glorified MacBook Air with a better chassis. I feel like they only sell these things to make the Air seem like a better deal and to justify a higher price for the M Pro / Max versions

edit: those M Pro versions may be announced tomorrow alongside a version with, or those being the version with a touchscreen

Thank fuck

on the off chance you’re being sincere: the article mentions that they allow free retakes of the oral exam

i don’t want to say this explains things, but i do want to imply it

What are accident victims?

After using Superwhisper a lot i wanted something more accurate/faster, ie using Parakeet. I found https://opensuperwhisper.com/. It's pretty ok, long startup time however, and something is overriding the default Opt+` shortcut, so I'm using Opt+Space.

could end up in training data

Because pursuing your own replacement is deranged.

Claude has a habit of always talking in an overly active voice, sort of personifying subjects that feels off. I don't think many people would choose to say "Traffic rides" here.

Other than the general vibe, there's a number of extremely specific Claude-isms you could pick up on:

1. the blinking "now with JSON output for coding agents". It loves to create these blinking badges

2. "Some text, and then <Text in a different color>"

Then further along the page, the "Your agent needs a URL, not a laptop" has a lot of tells of just being a straight Claude (design) output

- The small all-caps "built for the agent era" eyebrow. Once you start noticing this it's EVERYWHERE

- The 01 02 03 list

If you have access to Claude you should try have it generate a landing page for a tech product. It will almost always look like this.

damn i always thought it was a french thing, this is blowing my mind

thanks for trying to make the web suck a little less these days xena!

seems to respect reduce motion just fine! the animation, while extremely lovely, also does seem to be quite taxing on my GPU (~60% usage on M1 Max with Zen/Firefox, on a 1440p widescreen, which is admittedly quite a lot of space to render animation)

love the website though, i hope i one day will be able to make something that elegant!

i’m surprise by how much i liked that! also: neutrality website, very tasteful

i think smoores response got flagged for some reason, but there’s a StorytellerSync plugin https://github.com/Sirozha1337/storytellersync.koplugin

> Apple today announced changes to its business terms for apps in the European Union, following close collaboration with the European Commission. These changes resolve Apple’s disagreements with the Commission over business terms and alternative distribution.

this seems to imply the Commission signed off on this. I really can't imagine that this changes anything meaningfully wrt to the DMA?

That sounded so outlandish i needed to look it up, it's true... https://www.gov.uk/government/news/wrongly-convicted-no-long...

Although asterisk: those costs were being deducted from the final compensation. Still disgraceful that even happened.

This does indeed seem comically evil. While surely this may provide somewhat interesting insights in how our brain processes things, this seems squarely past the "should" part of "you scientists were so obsessed with whether you could you failed to consider whether you should"

ridiculous to call it righteousness when it's allowing the servers to stay functioning

holy shit this is hard

lmao the reason he finally figured it out was because she didn't understand him sarcasm, so he figured she must have neurological issues? classic

The people developing that left NYT and spun it out into a separate (really great!) project https://github.com/handlewithcarecollective/react-prosemirro...

They are also working on a collaborative editing suite for ProseMirror as an alternative to TipTap https://pitter-patter.dev/

you are not very good at detecting llm writing.

ofc he would have an llm write his blog posts

thanks for clarifying, this whole thread was sounding a bit ridiculous

i’m glad to hear this is being considered, thank you for your efforts
