  • When you use biometrics with passkey, they are stored on-device. In that sense they respect privacy.

  • That is completely fair. For the way I use my laptop I need fairly current hardware, but if you do not, the premium price might not make sense for you.

  • what are you reading nowadays that's not crap?

  • The audiobooks are amazing, super-talented narrator who does a while host of voices.

  • The way I justified it was by saying that it will last longer than a laptop I just throw away after 5 years. If I can keep it for 10 years with an upgrade ir two the economics starts to make sense.

  • If you could take back one thing you've said, what would that be?

  • Hardware for local inference?

    Jump

  • What size model? I can run 8 billion parameter models on my Geforce 3070 with 8gb of vram. Bigger models need more memory. For $1-2k you can upgrade to a 16 or 32 gb video card. For $3k you can get a Framework Desktop with 128 gb unified memory. For $6k you can get a DGX Spark with a blackwell chip and 128 gb unified memory. Mac mini or Mac studio are also good choices in this price range.

  • This works surprisingly well. Even though the relief is temporary, exerting some control over the pain makes it more manageable.

  • Details on the shoe of the archer at terracotta army (OC)

  • Wow it has treads!

  • Why do "assassins" or whatever always have a Copy of Catcher in The Rye on them or with them? I read the book and nothing about taking out people, well prolly catholics but that is it?

    Jump

  • Specifically the brainwashed assassins were programmed with an urge to buy copies of the book. The CIA tracked purchases and used it to keep tabs on the assassins movements.

    It is kind of ludicrous, but not a bad movie.

  • A Fundamental Principle of Aeronautical Engineering Has Been Overturned

    Jump

  • Rough surfaces can be more aerodynamic than smooth ones

    “For more than 80 years, the principle of “the surface of an object must be smooth” has been the basic premise of aeronautical engineering throughout the world in order to suppress the transition to turbulence and reduce aerodynamic drag. This premise was based on the results of a 1940 study by Ichiro Tani, a Japanese aerodynamicist who quantitatively demonstrated the relationship between “surface roughness” (an indicator of the state of the machined surface) and turbulent transition, arguing that surface roughness, which was unavoidable with the manufacturing technology of the time, prevented laminar flow from being realized.

    However, in 1989 Tani reinterpreted the experimental data on rough-surface pipes obtained by fluid engineer Johann Nikulase in the 1930s, bringing a new perspective that “roughness may not necessarily only promote turbulent transition and increase fluid resistance.” Inheriting this idea, a research group led by Yasuaki Kohama of Tohoku University experimentally demonstrated in the 1990s that fibrous rough surfaces, which have fine fibrous irregularities on their surface, have the effect of delaying transition under certain conditions.”

  • Can someone explain to me like I am five. How the whole time travel thing worked in Avengers: Endgame they reference alot of movie that are not accurate. How is EG accurate then?

  • The kids devices have their wifi shut off at 11 pm each week day night. From time to time I will have them show me their screen time history and their Youtube watch history.

  • Meta Is Dying. It’s About Time.

  • Bullshit:

    Meta reported for its most recent quarter (Q1 2026, ended March 31, 2026):

    • Revenue: $56.3 billion
    • Net income (profit): $26.8 billion

    That was up from:

    • $42.3 billion revenue a year earlier
    • $16.6 billion net income a year earlier
