"Hey can you remove MDM from this Macbook so I can install Linux?"

Is there no MDM for Linux clients? How do the big tech companies with Linux developer machines (Google, Facebook, etc) manage their inventory? Do they roll their own MDM?

> There are also latency and bandwidth benefits how they setup their RAM just from pure physics

What sort of physics? Dedicated GPUs achieve massive memory bandwidth without needing to put all of their memory on-die.

In the age of chatbots for outsourcing thinking at one's fingertips, absolutely!

The invasion of tech into the classroom has not produced more capable graduates. There's a lot of empirical evidence to the contrary.

The mind is a muscle, and developing that muscle is the education system's main purpose.

> Even with increased prices, AI enables velocity both in development and bugs fixing.

What about human understanding of the codebase that's essential to any project's long term health? Even "superperformer developers" eventually leave the company.

> That includes "don't give the user root, and ask the user for their password before doing dangerous things" - four years before Linux distros started moving to a similar model.

Linux distros have always required sudo for "dangerous" things. What distros made users root by default?

> Millions of people are buying big $ maxed-out hardware like the Mac Studios or DGX specifically to run LLMs.

What's your source for this?

Chest-thumping

This is a classic cautionary tale for the over-centralization of app distribution.

>For one thing, Apple has tended to focus on privacy at the expense of profit.

A company reveals its priorities when it is forced to make inconvenient choices. What privacy compromises did the CCP force out of Apple in exchange for doing business in China?

> Because Apple always did this, everybody knew this and people buy Apple exactly because of this.

Is that really so? Does the average iPhone user actually factor the app store tax into their decision to purchase the device? Or do they just assume that is just how all software works because they have no exposure to software ecosystems outside the iPhone app store

> This pattern works because both the old and new server can be writing to a database on a different server.

How would you upgrade the server running the database?

Not sure why this is being down voted. Outsourcing work doesn't also outsource accountability.

> Don’t forget Yomif Kejelcha who finished in 1:59:41, a world record up until 11 seconds prior. Amazing.

In his marathon debut too.

Are you disputing uBlock Origin's list of MV3-incompatible capabilities [1]?

How does one "interpret" public knowledge to time bets so accurately right before Trump's announcements?

Will the new OSs be able overcome Apple and Google lobbies to restrict banking apps to "secure" (i.e. under their control) devices?

It's interesting how "real Unix" is still thrown around as a badge of prestige when Linux basically runs the world now.

LLMs are deterministic in the sense that a fixed linear regression model is deterministic. Like linear regression, however, they do however encode a statistical model of whatever they're trying to describe -- natural language for LLMs.

What prevents the DoD from saying "no" without the designation?

"Under these circumstances, requiring the Department to prolong its use of Anthropic’s AI technology, whether directly or through contractors, strikes us as a substantial judicial imposition on military operations." (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cadc.42...)

Does not designating Anthropic a "supply chain risk" actually require the DoD to use Anthropic's services?

How does this compare with ZFS's object storage backend? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46620673

History doesn't start in 1979. One can draw a direct line to those events from 1953.

How many Russian deaths have been caused by US proxies in Ukraine so far? Do those justify an attack on the US by Russia?

>They haven't been following international law since 1979.

History doesn't start in 1979. Why not go back to 1953? Overthrowing another country's elected government is no more conscionable under international law.

Where are all of the ZFS corruption stories? Or are there simply fewer of those?

Doesn't Truth Social also benefit from the protection of Section 230?

>The whole linux stack got bigger though - just look at what you need now to compile stuff, cmake, meson/ninja, mesa, llvm and so forth

Those are all development tools. Has the runtime overhead grown proportionally, and what accounts for the extra weight?

Chromebooks still start out at 4GB (example: https://www.acer.com/us-en/chromebooks/acer-chromebook-315-c...), and it's not like Google Chrome is lighter on RAM than Ubuntu's default browser.

Given that efficiency one of Linux's most touted advantages, what in the world is Ubuntu's PR department thinking? Ubuntu isn't providing any more functionality than when its memory requirement was 4GB. What is hogging all that extra ram?

I think the OP is asking why Apple is enclosing macs in a walled garden when that concept is generally associated with iPhones, not general-purpose computers.
