This theory would make sense if Apple themselves didn't admit they are spending millions a day to catch up on AI: https://mashable.com/article/apple-spending-millions-of-doll...

Are there companies in India that don't focus on leetcode style problems during the interview process? Maybe you can target those if they exist.

Well most pc laptops allow you to upgrade the ram. Upgraded mine to 64gb for about $125. How much is that analogous to, Apple?

Hard to feel bad for Apple here, since they do the same thing

I don't follow the logic the author is using. Let's say we make all public colleges free for students. "Elite" schools will still exist, and top students will still target schools such as Ivy/MIT/Stanford/etc. One look at the people in executive offices or top political offices and you'll find a substantial portion are graduates from elite schools.

"Nothing really to see here or complain about." For a device that starts at $799 and only has 128GB of storage, there is plenty to complain about.

At this rate, why not having the mining companies charge 30% of revenue for using their metals.

Here's a few I follow for Go programming:

Anyone have comparisons to how many tokens/s a laptop with a mobile Nvidia gpu gets? Considering the cheapest M2 Max laptop in the US costs almost $3k, you can easily get a laptop with a 3090/4090 Nvidia mobile GPU.

Thinkpad X1 Carbon? Linux on Thinkpads have always worked fine for me.

I only know of Tesseract and PaddleOCR if you want to run them locally.

I guess it's only OK when Americans get to censor what the rest of the world sees.

I would really like to see an implementation where entering different passcodes unlocks different profiles on your phone. For example, your real phone profile data is behind one passcode, and then you can unlock a decoy phone profile when entering a different passcode.

It depends on how Apple implements the sideloading feature. They always take the "malicious compliance" route when forced to do something by law and I think they will make installing apps outside their App Store as irritating as they possibly can.

I'm also going to stick with Android for now since it plays nicer with Linux and have no interest in buying an Apple laptop.

Would putting the car fob in a faraday bag help?

My Thinkpad X220 from 2011 works just fine, although I don't use it as my primary laptop anymore. Was also able to upgrade the memory from 4GB to 16GB and updated the HDD to a 1TB SSD :)

In a way, this seems like sour grapes to me. I bet if it was their own company/institution that released gpt-4, they wouldn't be calling for this pause.

I would not say they are the best chips if you want to run locally. They are ok although a bit slow compared to desktop gpus for inference.

In the "In-person time helps build relationships and get more done" section, looks like they're setting the groundwork to force a back-to-office plan.

I imagine some people flagged it so it doesn't get more views. How pathetic of YCombinator itself begging for a bailout.

So any startup which had more than $250k in SVB only has $250k left now I'm assuming? Hopefully this doesn't have a bad domino effect.

I'm pretty sure EU can have the "last word" here by blocking sales of iPhone in the EU. Apple has become an expert lately at malicious compliance.

You only need the pin code to reset the icloud password, and can lock people out of their accounts.

My opinion, if you know you want to be a software engineer, study CS at the schools that give you full ride. UT Dallas and Texas A&M are both good schools and the thought of not having to pay back any loans will lift a burden of stress after you graduate.

I bet the 950 people let go a few weeks ago and the 1,100 let go back in June must love hearing this news.

And I can keep my non-apple laptops for longer b/c I can upgrade ram and storage and easily put in a a new battery when needed.

Trying to hit register and I get no response.

Can we really not have a thread on HN about the accomplishments of a country, in this case China, without bringing whatever protests are currently going on? US/Europe has accomplishments related to space all the time but I don't see people mentioning anti-government protests that happen all the time in the same threads?

I had a manager like this once. They won’t explicitly ask you to work on the weekends, but the deadline in combination with the workload made it obvious you would be working on the weekend and late nights. So glad I left that toxic place.

The Verge also mentioned that Apple goes overboard when it comes to noise reduction lately with their phones. It becomes really obvious when you compare an iPhone 13 with say a Pixel phone and there have been many complaints about it. Instead it looks like they continued to double down with it on the iPhone 14. It's a shame since they have such good hardware and ruin the pics with their photo processing pipeline.
