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....

"[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?

I used duckduckgo for a while. I switched to Kagi last year. Not everyone is willing to pay, up front, for search. But if you do, the experience is even better, because there are no ads to watch out for at all. Everything is search results.

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.

Wanting total internet connectivity is a sign of utter ignorance, and that ignorance is a choice.

Make ignorance shameful again.

Ban them for safety reasons.

Nicotine addicts have plenty of delivery options including lozenges.
Selling products intended for volatile substance abuse is illegal in the UK. Products inherently designed in a way that their normal real world disposal is dangerous make sense to regulate.

Not everything everyone wants to do makes sense for society to permit, including producing flammable products whose nature makes them into incendiaries when broken.

I inert all my expended lithium cells by destruction either in my welding shop or outdoors on my land, then dispose of the metallic slag safely with other mixed scrap metals. Small cells make impressive incendiaries so I'm not surprised cell disruption during recycling of objects containing them causes fires.

I use welding PPE so it's no risk to me and have ample water to flood cool spatter (which I do anyway after welding outdoors). I suggest other Slashdotters (the original techy sort who know how to safely break lithium cells which is quite simple) self-educate so they have direct experience of how powerful small cells really are.

And DARPA has a whole program for it:

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.

If you're rocking tech money there are many good places to spend it. The metro area has some beautiful wealthy neighborhoods, especially in northern New Jersey, which have fine old housing stock with large plots and good schools. Many good boarding schools are in easy range of the metro area.

The news focuses on the usual urban hellholes but many metro areas were never heavily industrialized and remain surprisingly refined. Passenger rail is well developed and built the burbs long before automobiles were more than a curiosity.

Tech money can also buy into Pennsylvania which is in easy reach by rail. If you're a tech worker expecting to make bank I suggest not living IN NYC but in rail commuting range instead.
I quite enjoyed relaxing on the train vs. driving.

Many people want the US disarmed. Many others do not. Even wanting that data center there in the first place is bizarre.
