I'm not sure. I think it does swap more aggressively. I think the disk is also just really fast and has a higher speed connection to memory.

Qualitatively I'm running way more things in the background than I could on Linux and Windows machines with double the RAM, with far fewer hiccups.

I haven't tried a modern Surface or other high-end Windows laptop so maybe their swapping is comparable, but given the shocked reactions of non-Mac users at 8 GB of memory, I don't think so.

Yeah I've been running Baldur's Gate 3 on my M2 MBA with 8 GB of RAM. It's decent, I get 30-40 FPS which is perfectly fine for a turn-based game.

Performance is significantly better with the laptop open vs clamshell, so it's clear that thermal throttling is the main bottleneck. I've been considering doing the thermal pad mod to eke out some extra performance, but I'll probably just save up for a Pro.

Or a MacBook, which is part OP's point. Apple is delivering quality at price points that Windows OEMs aren't (which is sort of the opposite of the phone world).

We started using computers with keyboards in class in grade 2-3.

Mac manages memory significantly better than Windows. My 8 GB Air feels better at multitasking than my 20 GB Windows laptop.

I use a MacBook Air with 8 GB of memory and it's fine. If I've got a browser and VSCode and Blender and PrusaSlicer and Claude and XCode all open it gets a little slow, but Mac is very good at memory management these days.

Someone using just a browser and Word would have absolutely no problem.

Re: the power brick, do these things not charge off USB C? Insane if not.

My understanding is that AWS budget actions also operate on a delay. I love using AWS at work but I'm never giving it my personal credit card as long as I can't turn off auto-billing.

I think they just don't know about the Magic Keyboard.

Adding my opinion: Sequoia was fine and so is Tahoe on a base M2. Can't say I've noticed a usability difference. I also prefer using a trackpad over a mouse and I don't know very many keyboard shortcuts, and I only use one monitor.

We might not hear about any contracts that happen.

Canada isn't interested in being part of a country that's 50% American either.

Playing Roblox at age 10 shortly after it launched is what inspired me to learn to code.

Yes, but sometimes you want just important non-error logs to go to the console or journal, and then those plus verbose logs to go to a file that gets rotated, and then also stderr on top of that.

Multiple levels of logging, all of which you want to capture but not all in the same place.

I've never felt nagged. Every time I get one of those popups, which isn't too often, I think "neat, good to know."

It's inconvenient that apps can't do long-running operations in the background outside of a few areas, but that's a design feature of the platform. Users of iOS are choosing to give up the ability to run torrent clients or whatever in exchange for knowing that an app isn't going to destroy their battery life in the background.

Likely some kind of complex refresh operation that kicks off when entering the foreground and takes a few seconds to complete before overwriting your state.

I've had a very good experience getting Claude to use OpenSCAD to generate medium-complexity 3D models (braille dice). It struggles with figuring out how to rotate things correctly, so it's only a semi-automated process.

That's the nature of disclosure deadlines. Talk is cheap. If they didn't disclose when they said they would, Google wouldn't feel any pressure to fix the issue.

It's because there's clearly a near-1:1 ratio of input to output. I also noticed some LLMisms, and I suspect the author may have ran the text (perhaps in the form of a large number of bullet points) through an LLM. But because he's using the LLM to clean instead of multiply, it's still worth reading.

It's literally 100% Radix's fault?

This is the status quo. APK installation is disabled by default, and there is a warning when you go to enable it.

> you would eliminate all usage of innerHTML

The mythical refactor where all deprecated code is replaced with modern code. I'm not sure it has ever happened.

I don't have an alternative of course, adding new methods while keeping the old ones is the only way to edit an append-only standard like the web.

realSetSafeHTML()

Hey man, I've seen you posting salty comments a lot recently. Are you sure you're getting a positive experience out of this forum? I spend a lot of time online and when I start posting the way you do, I find that a day or two of minimizing screen time does wonders.

GitHub is free, a VPS isn't.

If I'm understanding the paper correctly, the bursts had a mean duration of 0.14 seconds, which for a 1000 W microwave would expose you to 140 joules, enough to heat about a shot's worth of water by 1°C. Seems plenty fast to me.

The hardware isn't there yet. Apple's neural engine is neat and has some uses but it just isn't in the same league as Claude right now. We'll get there.

AGPL would

Yeah absolutely. Figuring out which, if any, drugs can be used to control people is extremely valuable for defence, not to mention offence. Same with the fascist Japanese frostbite experiments.

Let me be clear: these were all wrong and unethical, and I would not have approved or conducted them. But if you're a government agency tasked with doing wrong and unethical things in the name of national security, they were all good ideas to at least try.
