Notarization is Apple's strict code signing process, which makes it hard for non paying and anonymous developers to distribute third party Mac software. Linux lets you run unsigned software without compromise.

Thanks for the definition.

So far, I've not run into a problem with this....

And with specific regard to my local AI and OpenClaw experiments and tools required for that....haven't run into a problem at all yet.

So, not a barrier of merit.

I suspect a company paying $50k/month for tokens is going to need a whole lotta RTX 3090s. I also suspect that this 24GB model is not as powerful or efficient as something they can get in the cloud. But with that said, this is basically what I do at home - run one locally for common tasks. I keep waiting for the local ones to achieve parity with the cloud versions, but RAM is so expensive because of the data centers, that I'm not sure it will happen before SkyNet launches the nukes.

Especially with AI and ARM64 server development. Having to go through brew, containers and Apple's notarization process makes MacOS not a serious platform compared to bare metal Linux. In a twist of fate it is MacOS that is not ready for the AI desktop. Asahi is stuck on M1 and M2 so can't help you with M6 Macs.

Err...actually, OSX, so far in my experience is quite adapted to local AI.

Brew? What's wrong with that...pretty much the equivalent of of apt-get on some Linux installs, or whatever package manager you use there...

Docker is easy to run on Mac...actually it seems to give a bit more isolation they way it works on Mac...but set up is a breeze and while containerization is not required to run AI or OpenClaw on a Mac, it IS a good idea for security reasons to do so....Mac or Linux!!

Not familiar with any 'notarization" on my Mac set up, please explain?

OH...and running stuff on ollama, you get to take advantage of of the MLX framework for running local AI models....really speeds things along....

So, not quite sure why you are trying to say Macs aren't good for AI work....they actually are quite good for it AND I guess a bit more plug and play to get things set up and running.

And with any platform the more secure you make it, well that adds complexity, but it's worth it....I'd not want to turn OpenClaw or the like free on any platform without guard rails....

Point is that it is CO2 caused.

The so called "natural causes" are fluctuations in earth orbit, earth precession etc.

I said fluctuations because the simple minds do not get that it is a completely clockwork precise change of about a dozen effects. Except for the end of the last ice age, as it is assumed (actually kind of proven) that there were several meteor impacts on the Greenland ice shield.

Just as a side note: the end of the last ice agedid not take more than 100 years, okay, perhaps 450 years :P

That is why basically every culture on the planet has its flood myths - because there were floods all over the places for hundreds of years.

Correct. And with 10 billion, and probably 8 or more adult: they together can do a lot.
As simple as changing to LED light, or changing the setting of the fridge in winter, or simply closing the window or shading it, or setting the AC at night 1 or 2 degrees higher ... and so on. Walking to the grocery ... taking the bicycle instead of the car ... taking the train instead of flying.

Fun fact: Frankfurt to Paris by plane takes longer than taking the train ... considering the fact of on boarding, security check and that in both cities the air port is outside of the center town.

Not going to happen.

They are using "AI" as in artificial neural networks (ANN) to run their cars.

Hence there is no single requirement the car is supposed to follow, no issue tracker ticket, no line of code, no test, no review, no confirmation.

Hence: it does not formally fulfil any requirement to be allowed on a European street.

All European self driving cars: use standard algorithms, build on top of a specc, implemented and tested and reviewed - with *millions* of miles of save travel under supervision.

Thus, the fact that suddenly we have an instance of "the system" calling out and deprotecting a bubble-protected actor

You're on the right track with this. Except one thing; they didn't pull his bubble card. His fund was rapidly recapitalized before the headline even appeared. There is a lot at stake, the music is still playing, and they can't afford to have reality asserting itself on behalf of this chucklehead. His sandbox is a good deal smaller now, but they're letting him stay in the yard.

Racism....where does that come into play with this?

I don't see anywhere where any specific race was targeted or any restrictions were based on skin color, creed or sex, etc.....it just says that H1B (which could be anyone in the world) would be more $$ to bring into the US.

You're really reaching on this one.

If I'm mistaken PLEASE cite and point out where this is meaded out by race in the exec order or rule....
