@liquidated_hl@coolcoder56 No worries mate
M-series Macs encrypt storage by default, and the erase process destroys those encryption keys. A warrant can change the legal authority sure but it can’t get those keys back. iCloud backups are a separate thing
google right now has almost zero cultural gravity when it comes to frontier ai discussions in any of the conversations i am in, like not even mentioned once. both in consumer + enterprise contexts (i naturally tell ppl to claude it or chatgpt it instead of googling it, i can’t recall the last time i told someone to google it). for our startup, we used to use gemini for some things cuz the price of some of the flash models but even that now makes very very little sense (we started using openai & it’s been great).
in essence almost all of the frontier discourse is owned by openai/anthropic, & all of the open weight momentum has shifted entirely to aggressive chinese labs.
i don’t know where google fits in. i guess when you don’t have an existential threat anymore, there is no reason to be aggressive.

Get a different job. Get no job. Get a job that's only indirectly competitive. But don't directly compete with your prior team. Don't compete with the company that you *founded*. Have some honor.
@0xcached@mweinbach a new way to buy apple products that doesn’t affect traditional purchases is fundamentally pro-consumer no matter how bad the lease terms… and these terms are actually quite reasonable for the demographic that would actually use this
Asked a nerd friend why he suddenly looked upset and he said, choking back tears, “we’ll never know what Von Neumann could have done with this level of compute”
