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.

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....

I donâ(TM)t think you actually understand the way quantum computing works and how the calculations per second expand with then number of qubits. A 30 qubit computer has the same processing power as a traditional cpu computer that is running at approx 10 Teraflops. With each added logical qubit, the processing power increases exponentially (2^N). Yes, there are problems such as useful life expectancy of the qubit, and that means needing to perform statistical analysis of the results. However, something like (2^N)/1000 will still very quickly outpace performance of traditional computing. With just 10 additional qubits, you have enough to run that statistical analysis, so it needs 40 qubits for the statistical analysis. This Helios system, this is 48 logical qubits, which is roughly 2,800 tflops of calculating power (or ~2.8 pflops). Just 1000 of these systems would have the processing power of the current fastest supercomputer cluster in the world as of June 2026. Do you know how many more logical qubits are needed to reach that level in a single quantum computer as opposed to a cluster? 58. That is way, way, way less than the 1000s to millions you are implying.

"[Racism] is right twice per day" is the phrase that comes to mind.

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....

The money is already earmarked to go to funding ICE and enforcement. Which, well, I'm not even sure how to word what that vibe is.

Hmm...how about:

Amazing!!

Fantastic!!

About fucking time...

Getting what I voted for...

Were you looking for something along those lines?

More like heâ(TM)s lazy and his talent was being at the right place at the right time

I'm thinking "talent" may be a strong word here....

I mean, the words "rap" and "music" are mutually exclusive terms after all, eh?

That's not the problem. The problem is we already are in a scenario where we have two good jobs for every five people. A good job here is something that lets you afford a one-bedroom apartment by yourself in a city that consistently has employment.

Apparently you and those like you, ONLY consider a city to be the equivalent of of NYC....which is quite the outlier.

Most other cities across the US, with plenty of good jobs, allow you to afford MUCH better than a 1 room apartment.

You do realize this very same company announced a deal with Oracle to get these very computers into their cloud data centers to sell time on them to customers within 2027 (i.e. by next year), right? That certainly doesnâ(TM)t sound like more of the same news we have had, but the beginnings of the first ones available for public use outside of lab settingsâ¦.

But instead he intentionally took actions to destroy evidence, so none of that matters anymore

Actually he did NOT wipe the phone.

The officer that put a code in wiped the phone.

The officer was in no way obligated to put any code into the phone from any source....

At this point, I don't see how they can prove there was anything on the phone to begin with.....how can they prove he destroyed anything?

Renting house now...no way to charge an EV at home.

Unless I ran an extension cord out in the open to the car...I"m lucky to have off street parking (a rarity in this area)...but it isn't covered.

And any generator I get, is gasoline powered....mostly for the reasons I described, much easier to drive gas cans into town as needed....and generator has to be portable.

I need to travel to Scotland this fall, and while I am not a terrorist nor do I dabble in terrorism ;-), I plan to travel completely electronic-less -- so no phone, tablet nor laptop, not even my e-reader. I'll pack a couple of hard cover books, and retreat back to the 50's...

What criminal charges can be levied against travelers to the UK who purposely destroy content on their electronic devices?

Schedule 7 Terrorism Act 2000 – Wilful failure to comply / obstruction
Under Schedule 7, examining officers (police or designated Border Force officers) at UK ports, airports, or the border area can stop, question, search, and detain travellers without suspicion to determine whether they appear to be involved in terrorism-related activity. This includes searching electronic devices and requiring access (including PINs/passwords or biometric unlocking).

A person commits an offence if they wilfully fail to comply with a duty imposed under Schedule 7 or wilfully obstruct a search or examination (paragraph 18 of Schedule 7).
Deliberately destroying, deleting, wiping, or otherwise rendering content inaccessible on a device during an examination (or after being required to produce/access it) can be treated as obstruction or non-compliance, especially if it prevents officers from examining the device as required.
Penalty: Up to 3 months’ imprisonment, a fine (level 4 on the standard scale), or both.
This is the most directly relevant statutory offence for actions taken while under examination at the border. Refusing to unlock has led to convictions for obstruction in past cases; active destruction of data would strengthen the case for the same charge.

I think it is also more important to mention who ACTUALLY wiped the phone. Samuel wasn't the one who entered the code that wiped it, the customs/board patrol agent + FBI were the ones in possession of the phone and the ones who entered the code from everything I have read. If they had felt so confident in the fact there was evidence in there in the first place, the data would have been first cloned with a forensic data scientist and then that cloned data used to do any searches, keeping the original intact and exactly as taken so anything could hold up in a court of law...

2. Every phone mounting solution is janky shit and looks like janky shit. If I was still 16 and it was a beater from Craigslist, sure - but neither are the case.

I use the Quadlock system in my car same as on my motorcycle....with magnetic charging.

Works great, secure quick mounting and detaching the phone when leaving either vehicle.

On the bike it's on the handlebars obviously, but for there car I got a windshield mount that holds it and it works great!!!!

Me? I like my big iPhone, but I only replace them ever 6 years or so....so, with the cost spread out over that long, it isn't really $$.

My 2017 car doesn't have CarPlay...but no big deal, I just use Bluetooth to stream Spotify to the cars OEM head unit....plays great.

If I need to use maps, My phone is right there in easy vision and can still be playing tunes while giving me directions.
