The 27" 5K iMacs are great, I'm writing this on a 2020 model. So disappointed they went away. I'm resigning myself to having to go with a mini and a separate display when the time comes.
Pro chips come much later than base chips and vary significantly in ways other than number of cores (which can be up to double), such as doubled memory bandwidth and peripheral support (thunderbolt 5 instead of 4).
If you are invaded you're in a war whether you like it or not. At that point there are three ways to end up with less war. Surrender, force a truce, or win.
We have some copies of royal correspondence found in Egypt, written on cuneiform tablets. They used them for messages to foreign kings because they're compact and durable. A lot of the surviving tablets are begging letters asking the Egyptians for gold. We even have some practice tablets from teaching Egyptian scribes to do this.
Anyway I think some of these documents are of communications with Hittite kings, so it would be great to get some instances of the "other side" of some of these letters.
From the draft law: "(Explicit provisions on the school's responsibility for care and access to physical intervention, including an extended legal basis for the use of force, etc.)"
So it uses the terms "physical intervention", and "use of force", although that's using Google Translate.
Design was important enough to you to post your own comment talking about it and your own preferences, and how important it is to competition, so why are you questioning it's importance to someone else?
Reducing the cost of a desirable service or product often has a tendency to increased demand for that service or product, and means customers have more capital available to purchase other products and services increasing demand for those. These factors are significant drivers of overall economic growth.
Of course economic growth has it's own problems in terms of ecological impact and such, but if you want to reduce ecological impact you still need to improve productivity. It's a matter of how you spend that efficiency improvement as a society.
I come from a different era. Back in the 70s and 80s every home or business computer worked differently (BBC, Aplle ][, Spectrum, Commodore, etc); at Uni we used DOS computers, a Prime mini-computer and some stuff I can't remember; My first job was also using a Prime, and DOS, and various Unix workstations running Motif or OpenWindows. Getting used to a new way of doing things on almost every computer you rocked up to was the normal state of affairs. Kids these days.....
They aren't trying to 'solve' chess, go, or mathematical proofs as an end in themselves, but mainly in order to learn more about how to build better systems overall. The goal of AlphaZero was ultimately as a stepping stone towards AGI, and it's the same with LLMs.
What do you mean by 'not pagan'? The fact that pre-christian Greek philosophy was key in forming Christian metaphysics is exactly what I'm saying. These ideas didn't originate in Christianity, so it would be a stretch to credit them to Christianity or claim that they are intrinsically Christian when they are equally intrinsically Greek pagan.
We will not all (even 80% of us) be using electric vehicles in 10 years, or even 20 years. I don’t think even half of new vehicles will be fully electric by then, let alone half of all vehicles on the road.
I've always used my real name, since I first got on to the internet in the early 90s. It's never been a problem. Big Tech and your own government know who you really are anyway, as do the big online advertisers. Pseudonyms are no defence against that. There is a potential risk from griefers, but they have ways and means as well.
Full disk access is a permission you can grant to software on you Mac, that is not reserved just for Apple, and nothing Apple has said implies they have any intention of removing that class of permission. All they said is that they want users to be fully aware of the implications when granting it.
There were certainly a lot of greeks that found the idea of monotheism appealing, and Greek philosophical thought had ideas about a single unified creative force or substance. I think this is why Christianity caught on so quickly among cultural Greeks.
Except that Christianity inherited this philosophical concept of a rational and predictable world, and the concept of natural laws from Greek philosophy, which was thoroughly pagan. The dominant philosophical movement in the ancient world was Stoicism, which was deterministic. They certainly didn't get it from Judaism.
