This is amazing, beat me to it, I had this in my TODO since last year.

I wanted to call it "Remind-me-when"

for example: "remind me when Weapons movie has less than 7 days to be released"

or "remind me when the site something.com goes down"

It hasn't even reached the parliament yet for a an actual vote. So instead of doomering rather contact the representatives you voted for?

At this point, It's better to prepare for what we should do after chat control becomes a law

So I can spend thousands of dollars to have an unstable training environment and inference performance worse than a US$200 3060.

Wow. Where do I sign up?

The memory bandwidth on this thing is absolute trash, better buy a mac mini/studio with this much ram if you're throwing this much money, it'll be faster (M4 Max)

Another downside is that the seller might install spyware on your machine - had that with a Lenovo too. Ended up buying a brand new Asus that was so heavily discounted it cost the same as the 2nd hand Lenovo I returned.

why not just re-install the OS?

or did you mean spyware at hardware/firmware/BIOS level?

To any Linux users, I recently bought a fully loaded M4 MacBook pro to replace my aging Lenovo and strongly regret it. I thought I would use it for playing with LLMs, but local dev on a Mac is not fun and I still don't have it fully set up. I'll probably replace it with a framework at some point in the near future.

Edit: okay, that garnered more attention than I expected, I guess I owe a qualification.

1. Everything is just slightly different. I had to split all my dot files into common/Linux/Mac specific sections. Don't expect to be able to clone and build any random C++ project unless someone in the project is specifically targeting Mac.

2. Not everything is supported natively on arm64. I had an idea and wanted to spin up a project using DynamoRIO, but wasn't supported. Others have mentioned the docker quirks.

3. The window manager. I'm not a fan of all the animations and needing to gester between screens (and yes, I've been down the hotkeys rabbit hole). To install a 3rd party window manager you need to disable some security setting because appearantly they work by injecting into the display manager and calling private APIs.

So my person takeaway was that I took the openness of the Linux ecosystem for granted (I've always had a local checkout of the kernel so I can grep an error message if needed). Losing that for me felt like wearing a straightjacket. Ironically I have a MBP at work, but spend my day ssh'd into a Linux box. It's a great machine for running a web browser and terminal emulator.

local-development has been fine for me on m4 pro sequoia (i switched from archlinux), not much different

but i absolutely hate MacOS26, my next laptop won't be a macbook

It's a shame what they did to this awesome hardware with a crappy update

It only says "native notifications". Or did they change the webpage?
thehamkercat · 2 months ago
it says "Fastmail now has native apps for Mac, Windows & Linux."

in og:description and other ":description" meta-tags (look inside dev-tools)

so you can assume that they changed the title later

I saw this post on telegram, and noticed something weird about the webpage preview

    <meta property="og:description" content="Fastmail now has native apps for Mac, Windows &amp; Linux.">
It says "native", electron is opposite of that
