Does this mean the negative leap second isn't happening anymore?

Not anymore forever. We’re just not adding one for this year. We might need one next year, we might not. It all depends on the Earth’s rotation and orbit

and Earth's rotation was too fast for last several years

we were all waiting for the negative leap second to finally happen - but cowards got too afraid

I don't think it's cowardice, is it? The graph at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second seems to indicate that adding a negative leap second at this point in time would be improper. (We're ~+0.1s off, and a negative leap second would occur if the line was approaching +0.6s. I'd like one too just for the curiosity of the thing, but … the Earth isn't having it.)

There's an opportunity to insert or remove a leap second twice a year. They only decide about 6 months in advance of each opportunity what to do (leap second, skipped second, or do nothing).

782.6mph is way too fast.

As long as the vehicle traveling above Mach 1 remains a ground vehicle, the FAA won't get involved.

I think that's a failure mode of using the legacy completions API rather than the new responses API. With the responses API, the agent actually goes and does the things it's supposed to do.

7.0-rc1 has a tag with it:

    % git describe a664bf3d603d
    v7.0-rc1-10-ga664bf3d603d

I suspect this means the stable 7.0 has it too.

The MacBook Neo’s education price of $499

It blows my mind that a Pi is a significant portion of the cost of it.

And the Pi doesn't even come with a monitor, keyboard, speakers, or power supply!

I’d bet a lot that the Neo has a better SSD in it too.

Having a SSD certainly is better than no SSD.

Is there any evidence that’s the case? They always had massively bigger margins than all other PC manufacturers so it’s unlikely they are selling it at a loss even if’s significantly reduced

I mean, it's Apple we're talking about. Selling at margins <50% can probably be considered "at a loss"

Does this comment make this page NSFW on Marginalia?

I had several sent to these local parts as well.

I got 201 activation emails in 98 minutes.

I believe Apple’s iCloud+ option is $0.99/month.

You can do that at least for CLI apps with OrbStack. Not sure if it has X or Wayland support.
