I'm no Apple fan but I haven't seen a PC beat the Mac on battery life, and I highly suspect the performance metrics are rigged (it seems the Qualcomm used has 4x peak power draw!)
Tbf apparently the QC 23w model does edge out the Mac in multicore by 7% (Mac wins 12% in single)
I really wish Microsoft and the rest of the laptop gang would stop pulling numbers out of their asses. For all Apple's faults, they give honest numbers. Stop acting like you have shit to hide, just say 7%.
I like AI sometimes and that makes me feel like a hypocrite. I love, for instance, the fact that I can search "dog" in Photos.app and see all my dog photos. The thing is, this feature isn't advertised as AI. Its just something in the background that makes stuff work intuitively. Behold this rant, a culmination of like 3 months of mastoposting:
Taking a detour from <new name for unreleased side project> to add the ability to backfill content from the wayback machine into ArchiveBox. More englishy:
Sites that are already down are objectively the most vulnerable
The Wayback Machine has the site saved
Archive.org is under attack
And even if it wasn't, its a single point of failure and you really can only trust yourself
@eb@Phyxis there is something endearing here about thinking that HN is an institution with a degree of integrity which could be held to account for some sort of ethical standards
Maybe this worldview is even correct, but I cannot help but have the more cynical view that it’s an obvious scam to indoctrinate impressionable early-career engineers to break their bodies and minds upon the rocky shores of improved VC margins
ArchiveBox is shockingly solid, and really easy to host. Probably worth using it to save the things you love (and it automatically saves to IA as well)
If an absolute maximum of 18k fedi servers (probably way less than 10k) making requests 2 requests to your server (so they can download the OG image you decided to make) can bring it down for hours, maybe your server configuration is the problem.
I'm looking for a good name to use for my pinboard/rss reader competitor. The pitch is something along the lines of "community driven website collection and discovery".
— The working name is "pinlog", but I'm not entirely satisfied with that.
— Beanbag just came to mind, but unfortunately I cannot find a good domain.
— Dartboard.com costs $46,000.
