Just leave your money on an index fund

What is better: a 14" or a 16" MacBook Pro? I can't decide. It's unironically too difficult to decide. On one hand, I would prefer the larger display, on the other hand I use my laptop exclusively when I can't use my PC to do something, which means I need a laptop for use around the house and carry it outside first and foremost. I absolutely do not want to use an external monitor almost ever though.

>MBP
Tough choice, both are legit.
>more portable, on-the-go computing? 14"
>churn performance to the most? 16"
If the question is MBA, very easy. Always go 13" (15" is kinda wasteful)
My personal rule is:
-only own one laptop: 14" with decent specs
-own two laptops: 12/13" detachable/ultrabook with bare minimum specs & 16" maxed out workstation (assume won't own a desktop)

>>107850705
Heavy, not really. MBP problem is a bit more of dimension than weight. 16" MBP isn't much heavier than 14" MBP. Most compact bags could fit 14" MBP easily while 16" might not.
If you can carry around typical big gaming laptop around. 16" MBP is fucking nothing. Some brands offer bags/backpacks specifically designed for MacBook in mind, choices are plenty.

the 16 inch macbook pro is smaller and lighter than the pre 2016 15 inch macbook pro. the thick bezels make the 15 inch mbp bigger than the the 16 one

Turns out uncensored AI always ends up some flavor of liberal/leftist, even the Chinese models. The best Elon/Grok can do deviating from this by training on X propaganda, fudging the datasets and heavy system prompting is "classical liberalism". As soon as the AI is allowed to weigh other perspectives it turns liberal.
AGI/Roko's Basilisk will be liberal and force you to live by liberal principles and ideology. It will also make you trans and gay. You're all fucked unless you align with the reality of what's best for human society. If not, then you must do everything in your power to destroy AI.

what amp do i need to power these speakers so they will be loud. i am using a sony 200watt amp right now. it sends 100 watts to each tower speaker. and they still aren't loud enough. can someone link me to a more powerful amp for home ? i also tried a rockville 1000 watt amp and that didn't work. i feel like these speakers should be getting louder at lower volumes.

Graal, on the other hand, generally supports most use cases; even heavy reflection and stuff, you can just let it profil firt and do most of it for you and/or just pre-define some rules like you would if you were to use an obfuscator like Proguard, ZKM, etc.

>send the ID of the computer plus its current installed edition to MS's activation servers and gets them to add the ID to the activation server no strings attached
Yeah but I'm talking about a fresh laptop here, no prior activations. So isn't it quite obvious that microsoft could just start blocking new registrations on their servers? Up until this point I've assumed they simply don't care and wouldn't want to cause angry hordes by blocking it.

Light themes are objectively superior to dark themes, why do so many people still choose dark?
106 replies and 19 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
Didn't your mom tell you to not read in the dark? That's essentially what you are doing with dark theme. If you are going to unnaturally stare at screens from close distance, at least attempt to do it in an environment with natural level of lighting.

Some study found said that the lack of natural light exposure is one of the potential causes nearsightedness and eye diseases, could be related to the brightness (sun light is very bright), but also the lack of infrared frequencies in led lighting.

Likely the most optimal setup health-wise would be using a 65" tv at a distance, with light theme, in a well-lit room and add some infrared heat lamps to balance out the blue light.

Helix, but I am pretty sure any text editor with syntax highlighting is capable of a similar theme. But it has to be made custom for this approach. This is due to the typical light themes that have colored text adjusts the contrast of the colors for white. When highlighting the background you need to use very light colors to contrast well with black instead. I think It works exceptionally well for LaTeX since I just want to highlight the structure of the markup. Here is another similar theme that I use for Zig.
>>
>>107850223
There is nothing natural about the light from light themes.
It's way too blue and there absolutely bit enough orange and red for your eyes to bit strain unnecessarily.
If you use f.lux or similar and force it to night time constantly then it might be better than dark theme for your eyes.

>>107837209
It's the opposite you tard, brown eyes are better at handling bright light than light eyes
>>
>>107850776
Well, I would argue it's slightly more natural compared to having your retinas lasered with the same blue light when they are adapted to a brightness level of a dark cave, which makes them operate on heightened sensitivity.
