Isn't that... exactly what the Mac Pro was? PCIe support was the primary point

Main distinction I tend to see is just whether you're doing line management or not, which tends to be the EM track Beyond that, agree it seems like it can just be anything in virtu…

Systems running core government functions should be set up to be able to efficiently execute their functions at scale, so I'd say it should only restrict extreme load, ie DoS attac…

Then why mince words, and why accept new non-enterprise clients - just be clear it's maintenance-only and existing customer-only.

Seems strange not to just... say nothing and merely remove any mentions of an enterprise offering from the website. All this blog post can do is make people nervous and lead to cus…

They'd still at least buy reinsurance etc anyway. All unlimited liability insurance companies (e.g. motor insurers in the UK) have reinsurance to take the hit on claims over a cert…

Changing/layering architecture adds risk. If you've got a standard way of working you can easily throw in on day one whose fundamentals then don't need to be changed for years, tha…

ChatGPT can easily do Monte Carlo simulation in its "thinking" step, and has done many times for me. e.g. I asked it to compare savings interest between regular banks and median re…

Interestingly, in the UK, comprehensive insurance is now generally cheaper than "third party only" or "third party, fire & theft" cover The reason is because the insurance companie…

Just received by email. Doesn't seem to be anything public yet --- We hope this message finds you well. We're writing to share some important news about Humanloop's future and what…

How trustworthy really are humans?

Although it has a core section that does run underground through tube-like tunnels, it isn't classified as a tube line :) So isn't part of the "London Underground"

Google Sheets can do that - https://officewheel.com/group-dates-in-pivot-table-google-sh...

Maybe they mean fast in terms of the screen refreshing?

This is actually only an option if you qualify under Apple's definition of "reader" apps - ones that are pure content-consumption, nothing interactive etc. If you don't qualify as …

Password managers can store the passkeys just like they store passwords. 1Password has had strong support for them for quite a while now

I'm not sure why that'd inherently be a problem? Knowledge that some record exists about a medical event at a particular time is not too problematic, compared to _who_ it happened …

It will work - the magnetic interaction happens through the plastic, just will be very slightly weaker than one with additional magnets due to the tiny gap. The video shows it moun…

https://support.apple.com/en-ie/mac/repair 289 EUR for all 15"/16" MBPs The only reason they'd require a full top case replacement would be if there was additional damage making th…

I don't know how you'd define "light load", but I have a few services that average about 100rps. Only 1 active container most of the time, they're allocated 128MiB RAM, with a p99 …

The AI bits seem to be the one feature that is completely useless. I've tried all of the functions and eventually ended up with all of them disabled

One of those board members already did sign!
