Comment The Mac Pro died in 2019 (Score 4, Interesting) 86

Apple's Mac Pro, and before that the Power Mac, used to be a reasonably affordable machine for the capabilities it offered. The trash can was silly, but still affordable.

The 2019 return to tower form also came with an insane price increase. The base price was double that of previous generations. That killed the Mac Pro.

It's about time they finally had the funeral.

Comment Not compensation (Score 5, Insightful) 86

This isn't compensation, if it is something necessary to do the job at the levels they require, any more than asking if the building has HVAC in the summer is negotiating benefits.

They sell the idea that using AI is necessary for the position, and then try to sell access to that AI as a perk? That's rich up there with working in a coal mine and being told you can only use company tools, and that for some positions they supply the tools and some they don't.

Across three days, posing the same question about paginating the results of a powershell tool that interacted with AD, Gemini hallucinated four different command line arguments that didn't exist.

This is exactly how you expect a statistical prediction model to work.

This is exactly what you don't want in a coding assistant.

Comment Third-party doctrine in action. (Score 1) 35

Why is anyone surprised by this? Law enforcement in the US has long held the belief that they don't need a warrant if the information about you is held by a third party. It's not surprising at all that the free market found a way to earn a few bucks to speed up a process that was going to happen anyways.

Submission + - Bank may go bust due to FTX collapse (cnn.com)

smooth wombat writes: Late Wednesday night, Silvergate Capital informed the SEC it won't be able to file its annual report on time, and is determining if it can continue to operate. Unlike most traditional banks which have steered clear of crypto, Silvergate is a dominant lender to the crypto industry.

The La Jolla, Califorina-based bank reported a $1 billion loss for the fourth quarter as investors panicked over the collapse of FTX, the exchange founded by Sam Bankman-Fried that is now at the center of a massive federal fraud investigation.

FTX’s collapse in November rippled through the digital asset sector, forcing several firms to halt operations and even declare bankruptcy as liquidity dried up and investors fled.

But unlike FTX, BlockFi, Celsius, Voyager and other crypto companies that folded last year, Silvergate is a traditional, federally insured lender that has positioned itself as a gateway to the crypto sector.
