macOS doesn't support subpixel font rendering, so text looks pretty bad on 1080p monitors
Apple always had subpixel rendering until pretty recently when it removed it as it can actually make things look worse on high dpi monitors.
Just use betterdisplay to turn it back on if your using a legacy moitor.
*No* model works like you think it does.
A model is just a bunch of of parameters for a giant ness of matrix maths. It isn't even software. Its data.
Its the software that runs it that can, maybe, call home. So just use ollama or whatever.

Because it's uncomfortable and never, actually, 3X faster given it takes an hour to actually get to the airport and checked in and through security and half an hour minimum before you can leave the destination. And let's not forget that you're giving up an entire day in practice anyway when travelling.
I get it though, you like cramped seats, shitty service, anti-social co-passengers, expensive tickets, and long, long, waits. In which case, good news, because Europe has airports too! It's just almost all Europeans prefer the train, maybe because your statement above is just plain stupid.
> You know, I always marvel at the level of brainwashing it took to convice leftists to hate cars: a transport system that operates on my schedule, on my route, with no walking to stop involved, no waiting in wind or rain at said stop, which doesn't leave without me if I'm late, with no transfers needed, where I control the AC setting, the music, which doesn't put screens in front of my face with the same 3 ads on a loop during my hour-long journey, in which I can ALWAYS comfortably sit not just during off-hours, need I go on?
You know, I always marvel at the level of brainwashing it took to convince rightists to hate public transportation given cars are a transportation system that operates on no schedule with little or no predictability, that leaves you completely stranded if your own vehicle stops working, where you're constantly having to do your own maintenance, and ultimately spend hours a day staring at two lines on some fucking tarmac, stuck in a cramped metal box with uncomfortable seats, when you could just read and relax, and stand and walk around occasionally, like you would on public transport. Need I go on?
> "Oh, you need that suspicious lump looked at? Of course, as an EU citizen you are entitled to free healthcare, we can schedule an appointment as soon as 2047!" I mean fuck me, you think noone ever knows how that "free healthcare" looks *in practice* and you can blatantly fucking lie about how "awesome" it is and noone will call you out?
"Oh, you need that suspicious lump looked at? Of course, as a US citizen you are entitled to pay through the nose for an insurance service that'll require you see a primary care doctor, who's all booked up for the next 9 months, to give you a referral, and then we won't cover most of it and you'll go bankrupt." I mean, fuck me, you don't even know how "Free healthcare" looks in practice: if someone waits 6 months for a hip operation in the UK, there are questions asked in the House of Commons by MPs. Meanwhile if your insurance company fucks you over in the US, you're SoL, nobody gives a crap, half the country will find a way to blame you for it, and healthcare is intentionally rationed using high prices and constant treatment rejections because there aren't enough doctors, and there's no incentive under the US system to train more doctors - and lots of incentives to train *less*.
> LOL, wake up Sparky, it's 2026, uncontrolled immigration made those "safe streets" you speak of very much a thing of the past. OK, you are more likely to die from being stabbed (or run over with a truck, the new fashionable thing you have going on there) than from being shot, makes a huuuuge difference.
Hi, my name's blahabi and I believe any old nonsense far right nutcases spout if it fits my preconceived notions. If it shows "immigrants bad", then I believe it, despite knowing there's ample evidence immigrants commit less crime in all sectors than non-immigrants in virtually every western nation, almost certainly because they know the risks are far heavier for them.
> LOOOOOOOOL. Tell me, did you have the chance to vote for (or against) Ursula von der Leyen the way US citizens did get to vote for or agaisnt Trump? No you didn't. Same as you never get to elect the European Comission, nor the CJEU, who actually rule Europe. You only ever voted for EU parliment, which is famously the most powerless elected body in the world, so much it's a meme. Fucking democracy indeed
Ursula von der Leven doesn't have the powers of Trump so this is a nonsense comparison. And yes, every EU citizen has the right to vote in their own countries for and against their current politicians. The major difference is there's no fucking vote rigging. While the US is doing its best to disenfranchise or erect hurdles to prevent people from voting against Trump and the Republicans.
> No such thing as a "carbon debt" except as a leftist talking point
Facts don't care about your feelings, dumbass.
> open borders
Again, all you're doing is suggesting you're a one note RWNJ who has never actually understood the value of multicultural societies and believes any old crap about "others", in this case immigrants, to bolster your "scared of change" attitude.
> You mean "car-hostile"? I don't mind walkable, but a more appropriate word would be "walking-enforced", so no thanks.
No, he means walkable. Car hostile would imply that cars have some right to be a default form of transportation so inalienable that even the only universal form of transportation should be second tier to it. It is practical to walk and use cars throughout Europe. In most of the US, walking is de-facto banned, with road and neighborhood builders making it impractical to use that method of transportation (or even other non-car systems like public transportation or even bicycles) to access local facilities.
> Oh, noone disputes it makes a great vacation target. Go there, visit aboementioned things, enjoy the theme park atmosphere, observe primitive europeans living there in their natural habitat, make some photos to post on some (US-made obviously) social media site, then, return to civilization once that stops being fun and starts being tiresome.
Maybe if you took a vacation over there, you'd lose your... well never mind, I get it, you're too scared of brown people and think they're lurking behind every pillar in Europe getting ready to stab you.
But if you went there, you'd realize how stupid your entire reply is. I literally know right wing Republican Americans who went to Britain for a business trip who came back asking why the fuck the US doesn't have trains and walkability.
That execution is the recording engineer's job. Dre is mostly a producer now, and that does require considerable talent and creativity. Depending on the situation, they may do everything except write and sing the lyrics.
The recording engineer only records (and maybe mixes) the audio that is generated, which is part of what I meant by "mechanical process", along with generating the audio. Dre could use AI to transform his ideas into digital audio tracks, obviating the recording engineer and the performers, and to then select and mold the results. This would still require talent and creativity, which was my point.
Considerably. Also wider spread.
They were not in any way the same company
This is, of course, capitalism-worshiping nonsense. Corporations are legal fictions. Having bought one, you have become the owner of the entire fiction, including the name. They are SCO now in every sense that matters, and I say that as someone who used to run SCO software and who knows several former SCO employees. That SCO is dead, hopefully this SCO can also die soon, but they are legally the same SCO.
Caldera didn't buy SCO.
Well, IIUC the actual models generally say more "nuclear autumn". It's still enough to cause massive famines and various other really undesirable effects. (I didn't say side-effects, because they are really components of 'nuclear autumn.)
OTOH, that was the prediction decades ago for a nuclear war between India and
I doubt those methods give the estimates for 10m below the surface of the ocean. It *is* a short record, but it's what we've got. Also, I don't see any reason to doubt it, except that I'd rather the answer were different.
Still, don't put high certainty in this particular measure. The problem is that it agrees (in general) with lots of other measures that have a much longer span. There are arguments against pretty much every one of them, but they aren't convincing and even so you have to have dozens of special cases happening at once.
Whether it's profit or not depends on whether people buy anyway. I've decided "no upgrade this year".
I'm pretty sure that Amazon is one of those institutions that's all-in on AI so they can join in the attempts to take over every business in the country.
Maybe they should just say "We're upping our prices because of our own greed and lust for power, just not in the usual way."
On top of that I wouldn't be surprised at all if it's possible to take fees paid to the government as tax-writeoffs. Sufficiently large firms might well simply write off the money spent this way directly against their taxes.
It's almost certainly all operational expense, same as the salary paid, which means it's "written off". But "write off" doesn't mean "it's like you didn't have to pay it", it just means that it's subtracted from revenues when calculating profits. Net is that writing something off saves about 21% (the corporate tax rate) of the amount written off.
It's the same as your personal taxes, more or less. When you donate to charity, you get to subtract the donation from your adjusted gross income. If you make $100k and donate $10k, then it's as if you made $90k. Supposing (for simplicity) you pay a flat 20% tax rate, and you didn't make the donation, you'd pay $100k * 0.2 = $20k in taxes. Having made the donation, though, you only pay $90k * 0.2 = $18k in taxes. You donated $10k and basically got $2k of it back from Uncle Sam so the donation only cost you $8k out of pocket. But you still ended up $8k poorer (but the charity is $10k richer!).
The principle is the same with corporate "write-offs", though the mechanics are different.
will you pay 100k or just hire a local. i think they wont pay the 100k.
Silicon Valley companies will pay the $100k. The positions typically pay $500k+ (base + bonus + equity + benefits) and companies are accustomed to spending tens of thousands of dollars in addition to deal with the H1B filings, and for other immigration services, including fees for green card filings, etc. An additional $100k is painful, but since it's good for 6 years, they're already paying around $3M, so it's only a ~3.5% increase.
They sold a pretty decent x86 Unix throughout the 80s and early 90s.
They did no such thing. SCO Unix was, by far, the worst one. Nearly as unreliable as Windows. Just as an example, their serial port driver was so bad, you had to download an open source driver (Final Asynchronous Solution, anyone?) to get serial ports to work properly, especially if you were using a modem. And Deity help you if you accidentally started getty on a port with modem control enabled, and no modem...
I used it quite a bit and found it pretty decent. I never used a modem, though, so you may be right about that.
What bank (or credit union) doesn't have web-based online baking?
Many require you to use the phone app for MFA, even if you're using a web browser.
I guess there's the option of just doing all your banking in person, at a physical branch location... or at least an ATM.
