Base M4 was already slightly outperforming the M2 Max in CPU. GPU-wise it's nowhere near close.


The fascist government won't need you to enable tracking, they can have the corporation that makes your OS silently gather it and give it to them, or simply have the phone carrier do it, again silently to the one carrying the device.

We're already all carrying a tracking device with us, willingly.


The government can also just set up their own cell tracking towers, cut out the middleman.


Or just mandate that the telcos do it and make it illegal to tell anyone about it.


why would they need to do that? that's just how cell towers work. the government can and does also buy the location data on the market like anyone else.


yeah, the important part is that the government via third party surveillance gets much of the domestic spying they need without "technically" breaking the law, even though if they directly did any of the activities they would be breaking the law.



Once computers and AIs can approach even a small fraction of the our capacity then sure, only cameras is fine, it's a shame that our suite of camera data processing equipment is so far beyond our understanding that we don't even have models of how it might work at its core.

Even at that point, why would you possibly use only cameras though, when you can get far better data by using multiple complementary systems? Humans still crash plenty often, in large part because of how limited our "camera" system can be.


Amazon has a big one too. I also know of a popular one called Aptoide.


Amazon closes their app store on 2025-08-20, so in 7 days.


*for non Fire devices.


I could've sworn they'd already closed it for non-Fire devices.


In what way is not being social a successful strategy for reproduction nowadays?


Guess they're reproducing on chatgpt chats.


If anything chromossomes would be the key determinant of sex, not gender. But even that's not how we attribute sex: biologically sex is attributed by the capacity to generate small or big gamete, which means that someone who doesn't produce either type, such as a child or elderly person has no sex.


This is absurd and offensive, and seems like something taken straight out of transsexual propaganda or fantasy.


"Offensive?" Why would one be "offended" by this statement, even if one disagrees with it? It's not like it's personal or something.


Having and X or Y (or even multiple of each, as some people do, XXY and XYY are real, even single X or Y too) is binary, what's not binary is how it doesn't perfectly correlate with the sex (not even getting into gender here) that the person in question belongs to.


Single Y is a lethal mutation -- there are too many genes needed for normal development that are present only on the X chromosome.


Sure what I was responding to is "Nothing in biology is really binary anyways". Certainly not everything is binary, we don't have two simple models of all people despite nucleotides having binary pairs, but there is a lot of damn binary in biology.


XXY and XYY and whatnot are all variations within a sex. Sex is defined by gamete size, females produce the larger gametes and males produce the smaller gametes. In humans, this is binary and immutable.


Not just SE Asia: In Europe I can go buy a Dacia Sandero for 14k€ right now (about $16500) and that includes 23% VAT.


I hate to sound preachy so I apologize if I'm coming off like that but if someone's relationship with the internet is so bad that being put in a situation where being forced to stay off it is seen as a positive, perhaps the whole relationship should be taken a hard look at?


Even if it did prevent 10% of suicides by train, it stands to reason that a huge portion of those 10% would simply become suicides by jumping off a bridge.


Studies show that making particular suicide methods harder to access is an effective way to reduce overall suicide rates. That includes restrictions on poisons and firearms, but also physical barriers on bridges and train platforms.
