It's not free - you're agreeing for them to track and advertise to your customers. Apple does not do that with your Apple login data.
Schiendelman··on Xiaomi: New CPU matches Apple cores single threaded, much faster multithreaded
And reportedly early next year they have another coming out of band.
Schiendelman··on Why your local LLM feels dumber than it is
Your mileage may vary. I tried this a couple months ago and spent a full day on it just not working before giving up. Anything I sent, it wouldn't run.
Schiendelman··on Canada will match US tariffs 'dollar for dollar' as trade talks break down
Gross debt to GDP ratio in the US has fallen from 130% in 2021 to under 125% now. It'll likely tick back up closer to 130, but it's been relatively flat.

Economic growth and inflation have kept pace with gross debt for a long time, and if the US continues to stay on top of the tech industry, the raw numbers will likely continue not to matter.

That's really cool, thank you!

Why do you think it all went away?

The real changes are to make them less toxic! There are a bunch of approaches to take there.
Schiendelman··on Beware the Permanent Periphery
We haven't seen any other advanced technology free workers from work, what mechanism do you see behaving differently here?
Schiendelman··on Beware the Permanent Periphery
I don't think this has to do with a free market at all, I think it's because the legal instruments that allow healthy venture capital are much more difficult in the UK than in the US.
Schiendelman··on Beware the Permanent Periphery
That's exactly why TSMC keeps beating the pants off Intel. Marginally better looks miles ahead in computing a lot of the time.

I believe they're packed in such a way that those trucks can get into very serious wrecks without damage to the wafers.
Schiendelman··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)
I don't think we'll ever reduce our CO2 emissions - I've done a couple of decades of sustainability organizing (and professionally, I ran Amazon's initial carbon accounting program) and the best I've seen anyone model is "slightly less growth in CO2 emissions." I suspect we're stuck with sucking it out, and resilience efforts.

I'll check out the online course, thank you. I saw there are a few startups offering capture at an office building scale, and I'll come back with better questions once I learn more!

Schiendelman··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)
Thank you! I'll try removing a kilo. :)

It does have to do with your income - really your class. You aren't going to the same grocery stores as the median American.

Sure, if anyone could agree on a definition of success. Police forces don't even obey legislative bodies where their definition of success and the public's definition of success differs.
Schiendelman··on H3-metal – Native MiniMax-H3 inference for Apple Silicon
This will be a little faster right now on an M4 or M5 because it's optimized for Apple Silicon. Assuming this model is still state of the art in six months, which might not be a surprise given how long other video models have taken, this should be much, much faster with the M7 chip.
Schiendelman··on London Underground begins scanning passengers' faces
Tell us more! I don't know anything about it either. Couldn't the UK have ceded it to Ireland? Or would the problems just have gone another direction?
Schiendelman··on France to ban unsolicited telemarketing calls
I do too. You don't need to have the phone app on your home screen to do either of those.
Schiendelman··on London Underground begins scanning passengers' faces
Could? Will.

They weren't? That's more surprising given the UK surveillance state.
Schiendelman··on France to ban unsolicited telemarketing calls
I found a good solution for that - just remove the "phone" app from the home screen.

I would bet real money that the usable life of a television now, even accounting for anything that required repair, is much higher than it used to be in the CRT era.

Your income went up. Seriously. You're seeing interesting micros that target you and other high-income people, what's in your neighborhood is targeted. Most of America is drinking lower ABV beer from a case.

This is so cool! It's a little unclear from the website, is there hardware I could buy today to physically remove carbon dioxide? What can I actually do?

There are a ton with physical dials!

Almost no residential units have good venting. Even the better ones are good for the back burners, but the offgassing from the front ones is mostly uncaught.
