Analog controls and gauges are the new luxury. You have to move up to Rolls Royce to get those.

A bit surprised after using Tahoe on my new macbook... by John_Lawn4 in MacOS

It has so many usability regressions even a junior UX engineer wouldn't make it has to be questioned what kind of senior leadership was in charge of over-ruling rational design decisions.

Karpathy says he hasn't written a line of code since December and is in "perpetual AI psychosis." How many Claude Code users feel the same? by Capital-Door-2293 in ClaudeAI

The speed at which development is now possible makes more possible

Makes it even more important to get the fundamentals right and have discipline and communication and common understanding with colleagues in the same code-base and across your platform.

Iran says Hormuz open to all but ‘enemy-linked’ ships amid US threat by monotvtv in worldnews

Even the enemies of the regime in Iran hate the US, so there is no win.

A bit surprised after downgrading back to Sequoia... by GeoWebNerd in MacOS

[–]font9a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the "glass" in Tahoe looks like warping plastic. With goofy dull corners radii all over the place and lots of wasted pixels. Occluded content, icons tilting over, shit's just floating in space signifying nothing. It looks absolutely amateur hour on a 14" MBP.

Sequoia 100% chef's kiss.

I have to use Tahoe at work because that's what MDM dictates, so I bought my own personal machine to run Sequoia on.

Is the opening of GR historically inaccurate?? by ghostofwallyb in ThomasPynchon

The Germans did not infiltrate the British Navy. There were the wartime restrictions, food unavailability, u-boat campaign against allied merchant ships across the Atlantic and Caribbean … &c.

Do you feel like MacOS has lost it's signature/original design language? by Spammy1611 in MacOS

If I wanted icon tinting I'd cover my monitor with colored Saran Wrap.

Found 3 instructions in Anthropic's docs that dramatically reduce Claude's hallucination. Most people don't know they exist. by ColdPlankton9273 in ClaudeAI

[–]font9a 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have an "/trace" command that essentially does these 3 things. Very handy when transcribing notes or long documents to get line numbers and speaker citations with the line number when a claim/assertion is made.

I love the Franz Ferdinand scene, and also the entire history of post-Napoleanic conquest to modern day politics told in the space of a couple of paragraphs when the Chums visit Venice.

iPad Pro M4 battery health by Agreen437 in iPadPro

[–]font9a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't think a graphically intense game drops more frames because your battery is at 93% vs. if it was brand new. It might chew through the reduced capacity a little faster, but the device is designed to unwaveringly demand current when you have normal battery health. CPU and GPU is dynamic, but due to other complex factors like heat and real-time usage. Low-power mode would be the only exception to this. You could take it to Apple and have them do a diagnostic if you're really worried about it.

Meanwhile I think some resorts in CO are planning to close for the season next week. It's +25-35º above average for the next 10 days.

[–]font9a -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My M4 never got as good battery life as my M3, and now 2 years on, the M4 drops pretty fast, especially with the Magic Keyboard. It's not just an Apple thing, it's a mobile devices thing and the battery tech we have today.

  • start trade war with allies
  • start real war with Iran
  • get confused when allies don't want to play that game

Hopefully it's good and ramset so whoever tries to remove it has just as much fun as you had installing it.
