Top spec build is $29,799 + tx. While local AI is certainly an enticing prospect I can’t really imagine myself ever seeing a return on that investment.

Further they’ve already begun hyping the M7 Ultra and even if that got delayed until 2028, this machine only being SOTA for 1.5yrs is a hilariously short window in which to maximize your investment.

What’s your use case for cellular on a laptop? At least here in Canada data plans are expensive enough that I could blow through my monthly limit in 30min with a laptop. I would be quite annoyed if my wifi dropped and I had discovered only later that I’d exhausted my data unknowingly

You seem overly worried about the feelings of a company.

So the customer alleges they grabbed their biometrics but the article doesn’t state why they seem sure. Unless it auto unlocked the contents for him on the next delivery when his face came into view it’s unclear to me why he seems confident.

Well he just « overhauled » them… which I’m going to interpret as laying off a bunch who didn’t flag this to him earlier. If you just got hired by a billionaire who fired everyone on the prior team for not catching something, and is paying you to be brutally accurate are you going to order 1 biopsy? 2?

One gives you a high potential for false positives or negatives, two data points with opposite results is just as useless. Three is the gold standard to create a consensus among sensors, a lesson Boeing learned with their angle of attack at the cost of many lives.

> He publicly shares everything about his lifestyle and routine rather than paywalling them, so if he is running a scam, he probably needs some pointers

Disagree. What he does is run a YouTube channel that appears to do that. That makes it an ideal vehicle to advertise supplements with little research or scientific backing to an uninformed and trusting audience.

Ehh, you’re giving the guy a lot of grace cause he’s rich. I believe the GP was correct and have anecdotal evidence to support that he may be deceptive.

I followed him very loosely 3 years back and he was touting the effectiveness of a hair dye that he claimed permanently restored hair color at the follicle level if you followed their prescribed routine. As in no more greys, permanently. The company was called Mayraki and nobody had ever heard of them before Bryan’s videos and while I’m not saying he was scamming, I find it likely something dubious was going on with a high likely hood of him being paid for this advertising.

He went as far as saying he had his medical team biopsy his scalp and found the hair was not grey below the skin line so therefore was 100% true. It was quite a convincing narrative at the time to try this $100 hair dye.

The internet, especially Reddit, is now full of angry people with grey hair (and less money) that claim this product didn’t do anything beyond a regular dye but for 5-6x the cost. I can attest to this myself.

From the conclusions:

> Sun radiation affects hair properties as color, luster, mechanical resistance, the content of proteins and others.

TLDR Yes it impacts color. Further reading can be found in the 75 studies that can be found in the references section.

Ya, the relationship between UV and sunlight is strange and unintuitive. For that reason I use a UV widget on my lock screen.

I find that being exposed to the value (e.g. 4) while being able to see the suns effect (e.g. cloudy) gives me a better feel for conditions.

The article seems to be a meta analysis of a bunch of conflicting research to support a narrative that we don’t really know shit.

And fair, we don’t.

But a couple of things we do know that weren’t covered - egregiously so - is that aging is UV damage. Sometimes called photoaging, wrinkles, sun spots, discoloration, fine lines, grey hair, all of that shit that you associate with someone visibly looking old is sun damage.

So the picture that the article paints of some pasty nerds in offices shielding themselves from all UV and thus: they might as well be smoking… it doesn’t even touch on why people might be doing this.

Both kurgezadt and veritasium did some really great videos on photoaging and it’s worth checking out if this is new information to you.

Worth noting here for any readers new to UV guidelines that the above rule isn’t necessarily helpful for you. I’m currently traveling in an area that is 8:30am-4:30pm and live in an area that’s 10-6 pm in the summer and shifts throughout the year.

The actual rule is derived from your location’s safe UV index zones, which is found out by determining what local time the UV Index <= 2. Above 2, wear some amount of protection.

There was no cheer in the comment you’re replying to, just facts. The fact that you misinterpreted that is strange.

The fact that you have strong feelings about having your children reviewed by other adults for signs of abuse and neglect is stranger.

You do understand how children are vulnerable and parents aren’t always reliable, yes?

Homeschooling your children can be done well, in theory. However the majority of the time it’s done by imbeciles for religious, political or pseudo-medical reasons and results in children far less educated than the system you criticize and who are also imbeciles.

This is a form of abuse that will destroy a child’s potential far more readily than the four core elements above that you seem to be protesting.

Ah, I think you’re right. That aside, there’s still no evidence of continuity between the two shots and I’m a cynic.

I wasn’t going to say anything until I read this comment but that clip of the gameplay and the clip of the two people playing are not from the same source. The one showing the gameplay has a tower of books or possibly a jenga tower on the coffee table that doesn’t exist when seeing the gamers. It’s just editing magic and stitched together to have exactly the effect elicited by your comment.
