This is me mindlessly scrolling Twitter instead of reading the book I sat down with.

@gdb Holy s**t this is amazing! When you're so bored, you'd literally stand there and watch noisy TV.

@tigran_zzz @levelsio @eTRoWlEs This is very common in Australia for the same reason. Doesn’t really get that cold, so shorts are fine year-round but sometimes a hoodie required.

POV: you finally meet a Padel player

why dont guys dress up like this, its cool no?

@arvidkahl @levelsio That’s “go to path”.
To get copyable path, option+right click > Copy “<name>” as Pathname. Or keyboard shortcut is ⌥⌘C
I have “New Terminal at Folder” in my right-click Services menu too.
English
Someone in replies just taught me this trick
To emulate the Windows hierarchical folder dropdown and finally see WHERE you are in Finder because that's so difficult
RIGHT CLICK on the top folder name and you get this
Very cool!
@levelsio@levelsio
I still believe the Windows File Explorer is superior to MacOS's weird Finder

@palmtreat @usgraphics went there for an EV charge and quick browse on my way to the airport... almost missed my flight. ha!

IKEA website shows a verbatim copy of the physical printed receipt in HTML, complete with logo, exact transaction details, and mono font. It goes on for another 300 lines.
Whoever did this at IKEA, come forward, you have been recognized! 🏆

Just completed my first flight wearing the Vision Pro on the way to #FinalCutPro Creative Summit, AMA

@eleven24 @stalman do either of you know about the vehicle motion sickness reduction in iOS 18? A friend told me about it. Usually I'm the driver, so haven't had the chance to try it yet.

@alzxk11 @tomchapin @VadimYuryev pfft I was doing video editing just fine on an M1 Air with 8GB RAM a few years back. Ok, so I was targeting 1080p export and had to use proxy footage.
IMHO the main issue with 8GB of RAM is you can't have many web browser tabs open. 😆
English
@tomchapin @VadimYuryev The target audience for the MacBook Air is casuals, I haven’t seen a single person doing any kind of pro work (pro meaning video editing, game development, etc.) on a MBA because it’s not built for those kinds of tasks. For pro-level tasks, you can get a Pro with 32+ GB of RAM.
English
WHAAAAAAT!!! Why did I not notice tihs right away???
Apple upgraded the previous M2 and M3 MacBook Air to start with 16GB at the SAME price.
Only $999 for a redesigned MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM?!
Apple is all about value this year!
English
@feulf @VadimYuryev my guess... the memory bandwidth goes from 150 to 273 GB/s so if that matters, like if you're using local LLMs then maybe. On other performance fronts, probably not. (But sell me your M3 Pro if you do... 😆)

@dominik_hstein @levelsio @Starlink A friend of mine does week-long hikes and takes photos along the way. He carries his. Total weight on his back is 34kg though
English
Ordered the @Starlink Mini
Time to just go around the Portuguese landlords that all cheapen out on internet wanting to pay $10/mo for 20mbps limited fiber
While my entire work life depends on fast internet
Time to get my internet straight from space 🛰️
~$70/mo and it'll work anywhere in the world
Fits in my backpack so I can travel with it too!
@levelsio@levelsio
Ok installed the Starlink app on iOS! It uses your camera to test for reach Works on my balcony

@fchollet @rsms That’s right… I lamented this same thing a year ago and the thread is making the rounds again. Note that the original comparison was not “fair” but I fixed it later on and in the linked article.

Please remind me how we are moving forward. In this video, a machine from the year ~2000 (600MHz, 128MB RAM, spinning-rust hard disk) running Windows NT 3.51. Note how incredibly snappy opening apps is. 👇

Computing used to feel fast -- everything ran locally, software was mostly in C/C++ and was kept in check by the need to run on all kinds of old hardware. Now any one of my Chrome tabs is using 100x more RAM than a NeXT workstation had in total.
English
@BrretHatinson 😆
Substitute the ARM one and I’m _in_.
(thx for the laugh, I needed it)

@d_feldman totally get it. mining is somewhere in the middle, at least our stuff.

@Shawnryan96 @simonw @on_godot For all my talk here... I am planning a visit to see them, and jeez... might have to hire a car! gross 😆
English
Honestly, this is part of the reason I’m skeptical that “model collapse” is a genuinely significant problem
It’s SO TEMPTING to believe in it!
The schadenfreude of AI models destroying themselves through consuming their own junk is irresistible
🌹🧸Hal is in the air tonite 💝😘@halphelt
Hearing that AI models are collapsing because AI bros poisoned their own well by flooding the internet with loads of slop that’s being fed back into the training data with no way to sift it out. It fills me with such schafenfreude
English
@d_feldman very cool... the higher safety requirements obviously make the effort invested into automatic tooling have a much higher return. I'm just in lowly ol' mining electronics 🤭
English
@simonw @on_godot @Shawnryan96 for sure... I have friends in Wisconsin😆
I'd still walk 2 blocks tho...
English
@josh_m @on_godot @Shawnryan96 Sone places get pretty rough in the winter too - I tried walking around Kansas City, Kansas one winter and people thought I was crazy for not driving a car for distance of two blocks(!) because it was so cold
English
@on_godot @simonw @Shawnryan96 car is certainly _easier_ for:
- going to random locations
- out of the cities
- non-daily routine
- family
English
@on_godot @simonw @Shawnryan96 - I go to the hardware store w/ my bike. Have carried a propane tank. Stopping in at the grocery store is fine
- work has showers. or ebike
- I can take a call fine: noise cancellation works well
Australian cities are built around cars as well, so some adjustment is required.
English
@d_feldman gotcha! sorry, was frantically skimming and not looking at responses.
English
@d_feldman This is the interesting bit, suggests the models are used to drive the implementation... but is that generated? hand-written?
my curiosity here is as an embedded software dev writing functional safety-compliant C... so MISRA jumped out at me, and that's a... C standard
English
@d_feldman ah, I'm looking at this one x.com/d_feldman/stat…
any real-world examples?
