It's still extremely odd that they don't just... turn off.. ever? Even the case marketing copy notes this:

> When stored in the soft, slim Smart Case, AirPods Max enter an ultra‑low‑power state.


They do, they turn off almost entirely once you leave them stationary for five minutes.

This is the same as any over-ear headphones.


They don't, because almost entirely is not the same as entirely.

Except that they don't. Or at least many, many people report that they don't, including myself and I have tried all the remedies that supposedly help. If you don't provide an off button and you can't build a product this expensive to power itself off reliably for everyone, then you've failed at product design.

I didn't see a reply to the responses to you saying to reset them.

One question I have - do you have them connected to an Android device via bluetooth? Most Android devices will keep them awake by pinging them incessantly.


Perhaps for Find My/UWB support?

Find my works fine on a coin cell battery on AirTag, hard to imagine they need to power up the headphones to do the same.

Funny enough, the original and the new AirPods Max don't have UWB. That won't help me find my headphones in my house.

If for Find My, why stay in "low power" mode for days before moving to "ultralow power" mode? Is silly.


Wow, I had no idea they didn't have no UWB. Honestly that would remove half the value for me. That's crazy for Apple in 2026.

Support small theatres, you won’t get charged like this.

If they exist. None exists the in 15 mile radius of where I live.

In the millennial suburbs some people have converted their garages into small indie move theaters with good sound systems and people from around the neighborhood show up to watch obscure movies together and eat barbecued food.

pre-millennial here; we call this a party, rather than a "suburban prosumer boutique theatre".

Why are you quoting a phrase that does not exist in the post you are responding to?

The only person calling it that is you...

Is this actually a broad trend, or more just your personal experience? There is very little that could get me to move back to the suburbs, but this kind of thing is compelling.

Similar to people building a bar in their garage.

You could become the first.

unfortunately they are dying faster than malls… I live in urban area and my small theatre options re dwindling

> Israeli VCs tend to be uninterested in IPOs in general - too much of an operational headache and it's difficult to exit a position quickly.

Interesting, why is this more true of Israeli VC's as opposed to VC's in other markets?


I would assume VC's are dominantly US-based, and US-based VC's tend to be able to weather the landscape of American markets better than foreigners.

Partially. The issue is capital - even Wiz largely raised thanks to Sequoia, Insight Partners, and Index Ventures. American funds are much larger and are able to finance later stage rounds. Most Israeli VC funds end up financing earlier rounds and can't neccesarily participate in later rounds and thus have an incentive to exit earlier.

Seems possible that MMO's will have a resurgence once the Roblox generation comes of age.


the outcome of the review isn't just that the code gets shipped, it's knowledge transfer from the senior engineer to the junior engineers that then creates more senior engineers

the first scenario that came to mind is that they built it for themselves and then open sourced it

How do you segregate the CLI interface the LLM sees versus a human? For example if you’d like the LLM to only have access to read but not write data. One obvious fix is to put this at the authz layer. But it can be ergonomic to use MCP in this case.


I've been running Claude Code in a Docker compose environment with two containers - one without Claude that has all the credentials setup and a Claude container which transparently executes commands via ssh. The auth container then has wrappers which explicitly allow certain subcommands (eg. `gh api` isn't allowed). The `gh` command in the Claude container is just a wrapper script which bassically `ssh auth-container gh-wrapper`.

Lots of manual, opinionated stuff in here, but it prevents Claude from even accessing the credentials and limits what it can do with them.


I’ve been testing with an ENV variable for a cli tool for LLMs that I’m making. Basically, I have a script that sets an ENV variable to launch the TUI that I want and that ENV variable changes the behavior for LLMs if they run it (changes the -h output, changes the default output format to json to make it easier to grep)


Containers, virtual machines, jails.

Containers have jail runtimes available. See for example gVisor/runsc.


None of those work when dealing with external services, I wouldn’t even trust them as a solution for dealing with access to a database. It seems like the pushback against MCPs is based on their application to problems like filesystem access, but I’d say there are plenty of cases in which they are useful or can be a tool used to solve a problem.


Chicago has already done all of those things unfortunately (or fortunately).


If they have bus-only lanes then they won't be stuck in traffic, so I don't think they have.


Bus only lanes exist, but not everywhere (some streets are not wide enough). Additionally, at the moment (and really always) there's a ton of construction on the bridges going in and out of the city, causing buses to miss out on the bus-only lanes for years or more at a time. Bus systems are a complicated beast.


You don't have to allow cars on every single paved surface. Cars aren't supposed to be on wide sidewalks, you don't have to allow them on every single road either.


I think I agree with you. Now the political will to make such a change on the other hand...


Oh yeah, "you" was the generic "you". Agree on this, I'm working on it slowly in my own town; it's all I can do.


Yeah if they aren't enforcing the bus-only aspect then it's not really a bus-only lane. If a bus only lane exists but people violate it in cars with impunity then obviously it's not going to work.


The traffic downtown is really nuts now that the bridges are all shut down.
