@HunterZ to be fair we’re approaching more than day of battery life and in some tasks (video encoding) the current models are probably actually 25x faster

but the retina MacBook Pro nailed the form factor for probably at least 2 decades, which is bonkers

It’s really funny to watch a almost 15-year old Apple product intro and the specs for the computer are virtually the same as the specs for computers you can buy now

15-inch retina screen
512GB SSD
8GB RAM
USB3, MagSafe, HDMI, Thunderbolt, SD card slot

~$2,500 in 2012

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@zoy because it literally causes brain damage

Star Trek II, IV, VI, VIII

the memes keep coming

I stole this from a Threads post I saw elsewhere and since I’m not on Threads and Threads is garbage I won’t link to it

@naturepunk @Tijn my wife got pneumonia from a flu bout, it was pretty bad :(

@bagder satire

@clayfoot perfect

@jamesoloughlin @siracusa this reminds me of Apple having a BMW motorcycle just sitting there in the lobby

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”

AI bros: “What if we made a machine that gives you different results every time for asking the same thing?”

@ids1024 honestly would be impressive to aim that well with one

@toba even if it’s 5% per infection it would be supremely stupid not to protect yourself so yeah ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@pettter yes, that's the CDC definition, there's various different definitions, usually 4-12 weeks

but for the prevalence it doesn't really matter all that much

can this be a solution

@Tijn society has given up, and we're all suffering the consequences; fascist takeover, endless wars, "AI" replacing our brains (it can't, yet we're doing it anyway), ignoring climate disaster, etc.

Looks like the rate of long COVID after a acute infection is 40% or higher...

**in young healthy adults**

If my math is right this means if you get COVID say 5 times the probability you get long COVID goes up to more than 95%

@MuseumJoe Otoh simulating someone’s dead grandma for creepy LLM talk is a no.

@MuseumJoe I think this highly depends on the specific circumstances, e.g. if say you write a book about some of Alan Turing work, it’s fine to use the name and photo; similar if you sell Henry Kissinger stickers for urinals.
