New tariffs could raise iPhone prices by about 40% in the U.S.

Apple’s overpriced phones have quite a high profit margin; surely they could absorb most of the tariff costs while still making a profit? Or would that not be greedy enough for them?

Global Tetrahedron was born of the shadows, and it is committed to control in all its forms.

Committed to the conquest of mortality since its foundation in 1634.

Providing strategic counsel for top human-trafficking enterprises, large-scale embezzlement services, and covert assassination requests.

We are pragmatic, focused, bloodthirsty, and fanatical.

I can think of no better company to ensure the factual and unbiased news reporting of America’s finest news source.

Have you tried standing up from your computer and going outside? It’s the only 100% reliable way I’ve found to exit vim.

And the less you use Windows, the worse you get at using it. Luckily the bar for Windows competency is pretty low, just basic critical thinking skills and Google get you far.

“plural inside”

Multi-CPU systems be like.

Even so I think it would be totally reasonable for them to block web scrapers, as they provide better ways to download all their data.

Yeah, my keyboard just straight up didn’t work when I got my laptop; thankfully the issue was already fixed in a newer kernel so I just had to update (using a USB keyboard, lol).

I hate how so many news outlets are using AI slop images in their articles now.

Around a year ago I bet a friend $100 we won’t have AGI by 2029, and I’d do the same today. LLMs are nothing more than fancy predictive text and are incapable of thinking or reasoning. We burn through immense amounts of compute and terabytes of data to train them, then stick them together in a convoluted mess, only to end up with something that’s still dumber than the average human. In comparison humans are “trained” with maybe ten thousand “tokens” and ten megajoules of energy a day for a decade or two, and take only a couple dozen watts for even the most complex thinking.

I liked generative AI more when it was just a funny novelty and not being advertised to everyone under the false pretenses of being smart and useful. Its architecture is incompatible with actual intelligence, and anyone who thinks otherwise is just fooling themselves. (It does make an alright autocomplete though).

Yep, on my machine it just says bash: /: Is a directory.

Just shove a 3 in there somewhere, it’ll do something I promise!
