That’s intentional. Apple knows they won’t win in the long run, so their strategy is to delay the change for as long as possible.

anlumo ,

They didn’t need the army of lawyers to get license deals, so that’s not a fair comparison.

anlumo ,

I'm using an R86S.

anlumo ,

Good post. Also, in the case of GitHub, one major reason for me for using it is that this is the first place a potential employer will look at to see my work. They won't delve into the depths of a random git hosting service nobody has ever heard about.

ChatGPT Answers Programming Questions Incorrectly 52% of the Time: Study (gizmodo.com)

The research from Purdue University, first spotted by news outlet Futurism, was presented earlier this month at the Computer-Human Interaction Conference in Hawaii and looked at 517 programming questions on Stack Overflow that were then fed to ChatGPT....

anlumo ,

In Rust, it's not great. It can't do proper memory management in the language, which is pretty essential.

anlumo ,

Search is absolutely unusable these days due to the SEO industry. Google has lost that battle.

anlumo ,

That‘s one of the consequences of not having citizen IDs, because they’re communist.

anlumo ,

It‘s even hard to impossible to generate the image of a person doing a handstand. All models assume a rightside-up person.

anlumo ,

No, still the same.

iPad Pro with M4 chip boasts impressive performance jump compared to just-released M3 MacBook Air (9to5mac.com)

On raw performance might, the M4 really does live up to Apple’s promises, should deliver. Single core is up about 20% compared to all M3 chips and more than 40% compared to M2. The generational computational leap from the previous M2 iPad Pro is at least a 42% jump on single-core and multi-core.

anlumo ,

Not a clone, its kernel was once certified UNIX. It’s just a heavily modified UNIX.

anlumo ,

Are you an LLM running on an M4?

anlumo ,

They have been saying the same conclusion since the very first iPad, hasn’t deterred Apple yet.

anlumo ,

It’s not really a question anyways, just a statement rephrased to fit into the format.

anlumo ,

Sticks don't get clicks.

anlumo ,

Based on the spec, it should even be able to run Quake 3 Arena.

anlumo ,

Running the Spotify app and dozens of others on a custom software stack?

anlumo ,

Same. As soon as I saw the list of apps they support, it was clear to me that they're running Android. That's the only way to provide that feature.

anlumo ,

I didn’t know that “emit” is a verb that can be used for such an action.

anlumo ,

If the requirements are the same as for iPhones, this change is entirely inconsequential, because Apple can just add so many hurdles to sideloading to make this infeasible.

anlumo ,

Some think that the EU won't accept the terms that Apple set up for alternate marketplaces, but it'll probably take a decade or more until the EU can get off its ass.

anlumo ,

Loophole-proofing means doing a revision to the DMA, which means that they need to go through all of the stages again. It took three years on the first round, and they're probably going to need a few more revisions to get all of the holes fixed.

anlumo ,

The problem is that fixing the loopholes most likely needs changes to the Act itself.

anlumo ,

The problem is that fixing the loopholes most likely needs changes to the Act itself. That takes years, the first revision of the Digital Markets Act took three years.

anlumo ,

This is not the issue here. The problem is that everybody has to pay through their nose to get the priviledge to publish on an alternate marketplace or be an alternate marketplace.

anlumo ,

No, you don’t have to have a large amount of reserves, because it’s paid as part of the salary regardless. If you’re fired, you don’t have to pay it any more, even though you can still benefit from it.

It’s not dead cash sitting in an account on the bank, it’s in constant flow.

anlumo ,

The term autopilot comes from aviation, where the only kind of problem resolution an autopilot does is turning itself off.

Other than that, it just flies from checkpoint to checkpoint.

anlumo ,

A full NTSB investigation for every single crash? I'm all for it!

anlumo ,

Yeah, but even the best ones would happily crash into a mountain if the pilots don't set their altimeters properly (and ignore the terrain warnings).

anlumo ,

Hard to say, it might depend on the plane model. I've heard that Boeing 777s autopilots are really snarky.

anlumo ,

Apple definitely has a shit category, it’s the entry level with 8GBs of RAM. Completely unusable unless you’re only running a single app at a time.

anlumo ,

No, I actually have an 8GB M1 Mac Mini (only could get the cheapest one for tax reasons), and I tried doing software development on it. Running Xcode, VSCode, Chrome, and my own app on it at the same time let everything grind to a halt because it was swapping like crazy.

anlumo ,

Well, it's not like I can upgrade it.

The problem is that I had to get the cheapest one to be able to add it to the tax writeoff in a single year, otherwise it's split among three years (the tax code in my country is weird like that). If I could aftermarket-upgrade the RAM, I could just have bought the basic model and then upgraded, but that's not what Apple wants me to do.

Also, how should I know that I needed more RAM? It's not like they're writing that on the box (quite the opposite actually, Apple says that 8GB is enough for everyone).

anlumo ,

Yes and no. My previous Mac was a MacBook back when they still had RAM slots. I switched away from macOS because it became such an embarrassment of an OS.

anlumo ,

First Windows 10, then Linux.

anlumo ,

Well, the “robot” you're referring to couldn't exceed human performance by definition.

anlumo ,

This is probably the best way to get up if your joints can fully rotate. If you look closely, the legs are exactly below the center of mass when they touch the ground, making it easy to push upwards without falling over.

Humans just have to make complicated contortions or jump up because our joints are inferior (there are no slip rings for blood vessels).

anlumo ,

I love the cyberpunk future where even courts are privatized.

    /usr was introduced because the original UNIX machine ran out of storage space and they had to mount a second drive.

    anlumo ,

    If you’re running batch files from your Rust code, you should rethink your architecture.

    anlumo ,

    It’s a matter of learning how to prompt it properly. It’s not a human and thus needs a different kind of instructions.

    anlumo ,

    Hey since you’re here, there’s something I was wondering about that these articles don’t go over: what happens now while the bridge is rebuilt? Is there another one nearby that traffic is redirected to, or is there a ferry service now?

    anlumo ,

    Damn, I installed mine disrespectful.

    anlumo ,

    I’ve watched a rundown of what the backdoor does. It’s impossible that this was an accident. It hides a compiled library in test data and injects that into the ssh binary to override code there.

    anlumo ,

    The problem is that other companies can offer support as well, and they can do it for cheaper because they don’t have to finance development with that.

    anlumo ,

    I'm using Codeium for that. Works pretty well as a glorified autocomplete, but not much more. Certainly saves a lot of typing though, but I have to double-check everything it produces, because sometimes it adds subtle errors.

    anlumo ,

    In my experience with Codeium, it sometimes works ok for three or four lines of code at once. I've actually had a few surprises where it nailed what I was going for where I didn't expect it. But most of the time, it's just duplicating code from elsewhere in the same file, which usually doesn't make sense.

    It's also pretty good for stuff where I'd usually build some exotic regex to search/replace (or do it manually, because it'd take longer to come up with the expression), like transforming an enum into a switch construct for its members, or mapping said enum to a string of the member's name.

    This is very far from taking over my job, though. I'd love to be more of a conductor than the guy playing all instruments in the orchestra at once.

    anlumo ,

    Sometimes those things are way more complex, for example when it's about matching over a string rather than an enum to convert it into an enum. Typing out a regex would take me maybe 10mins or more, and with the LLM I can just describe roughly what I want (since it knows the language, I don't have to explain it in detail, just something like "make this into a switch statement" is sufficient usually).

    10mins at a time really adds up over a full work day.

    anlumo ,

    Windows runs on ARM just fine, it’s the legacy apps that are holding the industry back. Just like some institutions are still running AS/400 machines because nobody can port the programs they’re using.
