Anyone can comment on how Apple Silicon (M) MacBook Airs deal with heat?

It’s fan-less design, so how does it compare with MacBook Pros with same M chips?

Does it throttle often? Can you have it comfortably on your lap in summer? Or unless you’re running 1-hour long 4K rendering or machine learning training sessions - you’d never notice?

UPDATE: what I am getting at - if you are developer and don’t care about screen or battery differences - should you go for same spec macbook pro instead of same spec macbook air.

How your angle of criticism doesn’t apply to Trump?

Felon. Crypto grifter (selling corruption out in the open?). Known adulterer. TV personality - so he “makes good TV” when in front of cameras.

Whole world thought Ukraine will fall in 3 days (just like Putin). Zelenski asked for “bullets and not evacuation”. He stood his ground, united the nation, with kremlin’s assassins trying to constantly get him and he still visits soldiers on the front line regularly. Trump and JD are scared for their lives to even visit Kyiv.

How much time Putin will need to break Minsk’s third ceasefire agreement?

I’d say money and security guarantees were never on the table.

My speculation is this - Trump in his head thought he could steam roll “peace in 24h” kind of thing with no pushback like he can do domestically.

He went (behind Ukraine’s back) to talk with ruzzians - they gave a hint that it’s either total Ukraine’s capitulation or they are not interested.

Trump then tried to extort Zelenski into signing capitulation wrapped into “minerals deal”.

I strongly believe Zelenski was hoping to find common ground in the white house, but trump did not give in and understandably, neither Zelenski wanted to stick to original plan as he said it multiple times in a week before.

Then Trump felt fire under his feet - mister “art if the deal” couldn’t strong arm Ukraine into capitulation. How he will look against MAGA? He needs to show he’s “the man”. Bully the man standing up to the modern Mordor, like a bunch of 13 year olds after school.

.. but “it’s great TV”.

EDIT: btw trump could’ve used same leverage against ruzzia. I’d argue ruzzia is not in better spot than Ukraine. Blockade ruzzian shadow fleets, set fire to their war chest, whatever. But trump instead chose to align himself with despotic dictators instead of alies. Trump is really scared of Putin (see Helsinki meeting of 2018), but has personal vendetta against Zelenski for not bending the knee for Biden investigation.

I just checked his blog. Latest post “The Origins of Wokeness”.

Protesting against police brutality of suffocating apprehended person is apparently “peak woke”.

Musk apparently “succeded in neutralizing” twitter - “without censoring either” (left or right). He argues in the notes that Musk prioritized paid users and paid users are more right wing and hence left wing users self censored themselves, but left “could tilt it back if they wanted to”.

EDIT: also again proving my original comment - PG is thanking Sam Altman for proof reading the post…

> Perhaps surprisingly, the CEO of YC and Paul Graham have been publicly supportive of the DOGE team, despite all the racism and existential threat. I don't know if that's from fear, or greed, but there are strong arguments for both.

> …

> If discussing this openly and often this isn't possible due to very simple flag abuse, then what is this community actually even worth.

Just want to add to this topic that HN advertises YC AI Startup school: https://events.ycombinator.com/ai-sus - where Musk is listed as a first speaker.

Though it doesn’t surprise me - YC is in the same circle of radical technocrats (a16z, Altman, Musk, etc.) and hosted Balaji talking about dystopian plans about techno-authoritarian city states 10 or 15 years ago.

> … it seems extremely irresponsible to address the White House and the public to say …

It’s simple as:

1. They don’t care;

2. It fits their agenda;

Reminds me of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr5sTGxMUdo

Some people won’t change their mind even with contradicting evidence is shoved in their face.

They’re just salivating for anyone to protest. Any protest will be a pretext to use violent power, start some marshal law and move ten steps closer of totalitarianism.

Needs a date in the title - this was posted a number of times here when it was published.

Similarly how it is surprising to see hundreds of too critical comments addressed at FOSS application with solo developer with 10+ years of excellent track record on another post in the same hacker news page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42583082

Firstly, iterm2 is open source software (free as in beer and as in speech) and comes with no warranties.

Secondly, solo developer of iterm has excellent reputation from my point of view. History of his work on this project is something to strive for any developer and seems that always acts in (very) good faith while releasing software and replying to issues in threads.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42582206 - entitled for what features should exist or not in open source software. Also that feature was opt-in as far as I am aware. (EDIT: this user is also new and commented only on this post, with karma in the negative)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42581350 - entitled to how solo FOSS developer should act and write a critical update release response, with hints that said developer may not act in good faith.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42579595 - again entitled to what (or how many) features FOSS application should or shouldn’t have. Ironically also complains with entitled attitude that another FOSS software doesn’t have enough feature development.

There’s more, but obviously it’s subjective to reader’s interpretation. There were couple comments with attitude - that the developer shouldn’t be allowed to touch software ever again, but either I have missed them or they have deleted their comments.

Similarly - as full moon must be opposite to the sun, full moon moonrise happens around sunset and moonset happens around sunrise.

Also full moon rises the highest in winter, contrary to the sun - when it’s at it’s lowest[1].

Funny things happen at the poles where sun is above/below horizon for half a year: https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/a/27750

[1] the further from equator you are the more pronounced it is.

Especially funny as article is from 2022 Nov.

I just want to emphasise - JD Vance, from what I have read is a direct proxy for Thiel.

Without Thiel - there is no Vance.

Indeed. Mexicans, hispanics in general are insulted by him and his followers constantly, but it seems that this group brought the victory to him.

Who trump hasn’t insulted? billionaires[0] and saudis?

[0] though even Bezos is an exception.

I guess there is no group of people that trump hasn’t name called (dems, gays, hispanics, blacks, you name it, etc.).

It should’ve been disqualifying when president publicly mocks and physically parodies disabled journalist instead of answering god damn questions.

Taking high road didn’t help in 2016, wouldn’t have helped now.

But this trend is obviously not only in USA. Some political groups and their voters don’t care what is said, and other political group must upstand the highest moral standards.

How naive of you to think that native Ukrainians stuck under ruzzian occupation won’t become casualties after such “deal”.

Does this mean that the average buyers are the same people for 15 years?

Those who are 56 now, were 42 in 2010.

History’s 2nd task is to draw (??) a sketch of some historical figures. Wonder how this was graded.

Wikipedia for images:

Sketch one balding clean shaven face and sketch another one with pointy triangular beard?

After skimming through the article - as I understand ChatGPT was used as a tutor.

Many users of ChatGPT clearly know that it doesn't do math.

Now imagine your teacher is wrong at solving 40+% of problems it’s teaching you? Or that your measuring tape is wrong at nearly every second measurement?

Yeah it’s a tool - but you must nail your fundamentals right. Where I grew up - calculators were not allowed in elementary school - so every student must nail down basic arithmetic.

It’s a tad ironic, that Assange has quite many links with pro ruzzian information bubble.

For a person in his position - he must’ve been very naive to have a show on ruzzia today.

Hindsight is 20/20, though I was asking similar things since almost the beginning. If the car went off the road - there must have been signs for it. Broken shrubs, trees, car parts, etc.

Especially for the first case, where OP found Citroen car parts on the side of the road 10 years after the accident.

My only guess - in the middle of forested Finland - police force is small and most likely overworked.

Current top 2 is hilarious: https://suno.com/song/c15f0251-fbac-4a30-a3e1-002dbc78cb79

That puts a great perspective, though please correct if I am wrong - if you are testing power supplies - you need to dump that power somewhere?

Can’t you dump it back to power grid (easy to say, probably not so easy to do)? There will be losses, but better than nothing.

My assumption - launching satellites at that angle (so they don’t go beyond 55th parallel - is just cost optimisation between market and how expensive it is to launch at steeper angles.

You can see satellites at steeper angles, though - not many

I thought I have seen this name…
