They did the exact same thing with Mac Pro in 2019. I notice they don't say they'll stop manufacturing the Mac Mini anywhere else. This is a political thing and will change with the political winds.
Article is wrong. Tablets/pods are silly. The most important thing to improve dishwasher performance is to put detergent in the prewash compartment as well as the main compartment, which you can't do with pods. Second most important (maybe North America-specific) is to run the hot water in the sink to flush the cold water out of the hot water line before starting, so the first fill of the dishwasher uses hot water.
AFAIK British dishwashers get plumbed into the cold water line, & heat it themselves. US dishwashers get plumbed into the hot water line, and only do a bit of extra heating. US dishwashers run on 1400W circuits (80% current rule on a 120V 15A plug), UK ones on 2300W circuits (80% current rule on a 220V 13A plug). Nearly twice the available power means they can heat the water properly on their own. They also more often have built-in water softeners, thus the mention of salt.
Definitely agree about tablets though, they're trash. Powdered detergent is the way to go.
I find big differences among tablets, so I'd say it depends. However powder is so much cheaper than it's just a no brainer if you don't have really dirty dishes. For dirty dishes I still prefer a good tablet though.
Isn't the 80% rule only for continuous loads (3+ hours)? Home dishwashers in the US are considered to be non-continuous loads if the net is to be believed.
You don't need exclusive fullscreen on Windows to bypass the compositor. Fullscreen borderless windows also bypass the compositor. And in newer Windows versions the compositor can be bypassed even in regular windows using hardware overlays.
Windows's desktop compositor DWM is actually very advanced, and I don't believe any Linux desktop compositor is anywhere close. It's one of the things I miss when leaving Windows.
What is this AI slop doing at the top of HN? Come on, you don't even have to click through to know it's slop! It even has an en dash right in the title!
This is neat. In the demos I would suggest making mouse/finger drag orbit the camera around the scene instead of panning. Panning can be done by a 2D image transformation so it doesn't show off the 3D nature of the renderer.
I second the vote for orbit cam! Add double-click to choose the orbit point, and add a zoom control that is proportional to distance to orbit point, and it suddenly gets insanely easy to navigate the scene and find good views. It’s too hard to control using translate and look-around angles.
The demos I tried so far have translate and not pan, and those are fully 3d…
Now do one where you have to withdraw your card from the machine before it starts beeping obnoxiously at you but the screen keeps trying to trick you into withdrawing too early.
Worth keeping in mind that in this case the test takers were random members of the general public. The score of e.g. people with bachelor's degrees in science and engineering would be significantly higher.
Two years ago, I considered investing in Anthropic when they had a valuation of around $18B and messed up by chickening out (it was available on some of the private investor platforms). Up 20x since then ...
It was always obvious that Anthropic's focus on business/API usage had potential to scale faster than OpenAI's focus on ChatGPT, but the real kicker has been Claude Code (released a year ago).
It'd be interesting to know how Anthropic's revenue splits between Claude Code, or coding in general, other API usage, and chat (which I assume is small).
Eh, I think you made the best decision you could given the info you had.
I’ve poked around on EquityZen and was shocked at how little information is available to investors. In some cases I did not even see pitch decks, let alone one of the first companies I looked at had its top Google result: CEO recently arrested for fraud and business is almost worthless now.
Unless you are willing to take a blind punt or have insider information, those platforms are opaque minefields and I don’t fault you for not investing.
Matt Levine has a fun investment test: when presented with an opportunity, you should always ask, “and why are you offering it to me?”
Meaning, by the time it gets offered to retail investors (even accredited ones are retail) we’re getting the scraps that no one else wants.
Hiive and Forge Global are the ones I know of. You must be an "accredited investor" which means nothing at all except that you have a million dollars or make $200k/yr.
Like you can buy shares of Anthropic as long as you prove you make over 200K? That easy? Shouldn't they approve of the purchase? Sorry, noob in this space!
They have to approve and it's not as simple - it's just that if you make $200k a year or have $1m in the bank, the government assumes you're a knowledgeable investor and allows you to bypass certain protections.
If you are NOT knowledgeable and simply have money ... well it'll soon be parted.
The secondary platform verifies you and then you indicate interest. If there’s a seller you may get to buy. Company may ROFR. Priority goes to bigger buyers.
