You can't, it doesn't have any video output port per the product brief [1].

Of course, if one is inclined, I'd take a wild guess and say you could try something like Steam Remote, but I wouldn't bet on that actually working out. And even if you could get it working - per an analysis of German newspaper Heise, the bloody thing has less shader compute capacity than the iGPU of AMD's Ryzen CPUs [2]. 30.000€ - and it'll probably struggle running GTA 5.

Been awhile since I've listened to the book (all cards on the table), so I can't be specific. Nor am I an expert in anyway. My takeaway is that the pre-historical Americas had many diverse ways of organizing people that doesn't quite match up to the implied-risk-game of territory that I was responding too.

In starting to read through some of the criticism's of the book just now, I was reminded of the seasonal hunting parties where many smaller groups would band together for better kills. That's what I mean with "tribal fluidity".

And by freedom of movement, the impression that I had coming away from the listen was that there were many ways in which someone could find themselves in a role where the could migrate through several communities and still live. looking at things again presently, I stumbled across https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopewell_tradition, which I think illustrates what I was trying to convey. "Border sovereignty" doesn't make much sense to me as a concept in that world... i think things were much more fluid. There weren't border checkpoints throughout prehistory.

The reality doesn't match all these armchair specialists takes on HN though. Neither Russia nor Ukraine can defend their critical infrastructure... and they're all in, at war, with 0 regards for safety and side effects.

What happens if you interceptors locks in on the plane behind the drone, of falls down on the school behind the naval base ? Planes are shot down all the time, even military planes by friendly fire. I even doubt European countries have legal ways to start shooting down aircrafts during peace time

Existing nuclear power is something to keep around as long as it is safe and needed.

The problem is that new built western nuclear power requires ~18 cents/kWh (Vogtle, FV3, HPC etc.) when running at 100% 24/7 all year around, excluding backup, transmission costs and taxes.

Now try sell that electricity to a home owner with solar PV and maybe a battery and you will get laughed out of the room almost the entire year. A firming new built nuclear plant with ruinously high CAPEX and acceptable OPEX is economic lunacy.

This does not even take into account that new built nuclear power requires ~15-20 years from political decision to working plants.

As soon as new built nuclear power’s costs and timelines are confronted with reality it just does not work out.

Or when the site tells you your store doesn't have a part in stock, but neglects to tell you that they do have 350 of the identical part, different brand, in stock. Because who would ever buy a 1/2-inch close Halex rigid conduit close nipple in-store right now when they could wait a few days for a 1/2-inch close Commercial Electric rigid conduit nipple?

From what I've heard (FWIW), Airbus released a version of the software for one of the flight computers that removed SEU protections (hence grounding affected models until they could be downgraded to the previous version).

There was still hardware redundancy though. Operation of the plane's elevator switched to a secondary computer. Presumably it was also running the same vulnerable software, but they diverted and landed early in part to minimize this risk.

So not just redundancy but layers of redundancy.

Yes, but the way in which they have solved this is partially the reason why many sans-serif fonts suck from this point of view.

Serifs have appeared as a feature of the Latin letters of the inscriptions in stone of the Roman Empire, which are the model for the present capital letters.

On the other hand, the model for the present small letters are the letters of the manuscripts of the Carolingian Empire, written with pen (i.e. goose feather) on parchment.

The small letters originally did not have serifs. The small "l" letter had a right hook at its lower end, which distinguished it easily from an "I".

Serifs were added to the small letters, in imitation of the capital letters, only in the first books that were printed with "Antiqua" letters, in Italy, after the invention of printing.

The addition of a serif at the low end of "l" has lead to the removal of the right hook that it had previously. When sans-serif fonts were created in the 19th century, they have removed the serifs from the letters, so by removing the differently-shaped serifs from "I" and "l" they have become hard or impossible to distinguish.

The wiser typeface designers have realized that this is wrong and they have restored to small "l" the low right hook that it had at its origin in the Caroline script, distinguishing it from capital "I" even in a sans-serif font.

Unfortunately, too many sans-serif fonts have continued to perpetuate the mistake of removing the serifs from small "l" without restoring its original low right hook.

> We should prevent management from destroying productive companies and prevent unions from doing it, instead of saying "what about those other guys" to justify the bad behavior of either of them.

Im not justifying anyone, I'm suggesting a pragmatic, imperfect solution to a clear power imbalance. There's only one way to treat a counterpart who repeatedly defects on the iterated prisoners dilemma, and its not waiting for them to unilaterally start cooperating.

The 30 A rating is for a non-repetitive half cycle of 60 Hz, aka 8.3 ms. If the phone is drawing 2 A while booting that's much more than 8.3 ms. Obviously it does survive in the application described in the post but it seems like pointless penny pinching to not choose a suitably rated device especially when the article itself talks about inrush current overloading other parts when the 1000 uF capacitor was discussed.

A large number of adults I encounter are functionally illiterate, including business people in very high up positions. They are also almost 100% MATHEMATICALLY illiterate, not only unable to solve basic algebra and geometry problems, but completely unable to reason about statistical and probabilistic situations encountered in every day life. This is why gambling is so popular and why people are constantly fooled by politicians. It's bad enough to be without words in the modern world, but being without numbers makes you vulnerable to all manner of manipulations.

GTK3, GTK4, and libadwaita applications do look native in COSMIC. In COSMIC Settings, navigate to Desktop > Appearance > Icons and toolkit theming. Or search "toolkit" and it will be a top result. In the context drawer that opens on the right, toggle "Apply current theme to GNOME apps". This will then allow the cosmic-settings-daemon to automatically generate CSS variables for GTK4 and libadwaita apps. If adw-gtk3 is installed, it will also apply those variables to GTK3 applications.

Qt4 and Qt5 applications are unsupported, but IgKh/CuteCosmic has a Qt6 Platform Theme that integrates with the cosmic theme system and applies that theming to Qt6 applications. Though it won't work in 24.04 because most of the KDE/Qt apps in this release are based on Qt5, and the version of Qt6 is too old.

I have a theory about this, I gave it a name at one point but forgot what I called it.

And I think it relates to the idea in the Declaration of Independence where it says "people are disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable".

A generation experiences pain (like Cuyahoga, the river-on-fire), acid rain, ozone holes, etc... Struggle happens politically solutions help resolve some of the worst effects (if not outright), and people forget there was a problem.

"Why do we have these laws, this isn't even an issue" (this is for things that are obvious, not long term difficult to explain CO2 rise that people don't see easily (or explain away with industry provided excuses).

So we get a new generation falling for the corporate line because they don't see a problem, and ... yeah.

It doesn't even have to be a "solved" problem, just that it appears to be solved or mostly solved. Or people accept a new equilibrium, which is also the sad part.

You should look up the monopsony provisions of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, as well as the Robinson-Patman Act of 1936 which prohibits predatory price discrimination schemes. Scam Alt-Man should be paying the same price for RAM as us plebes, if the DOJ wasn’t derelict in its duty to enforce antitrust law.

It’s wild how Bork’s fraudulent legal theories have been converted to into dogma within a generation.

Bennett offered a number of suggestions for improving Claude Code, three stood out:

A markup tool: I wish I could easily point to things: screenshots, UI glitches, layout issues, or share a whiteboard with Claude. Currently, all of these must be described completely in text. Often twice. Sometimes three times. I’ve tried uploading a marked-up screenshot, but with mixed success. A markup tool would be enormously helpful.

We need a larger context window. In regular Claude, the current 200k is being upgraded, in beta test now, at the 1M mark! But I think Claude Code’s limits are much lower. I see errors like Error: File content (27931 tokens) exceeds maximum allowed tokens (25000); 25,000 is pretty small when dealing with entire source code files.

Unprompted Git commits (This is the worst surprise.) Claude Code sometimes commits to Git without being asked. And even worse: it may commit before the change is tested; I don’t like checking in obviously broken code.

As a German myself, that list is surprising. The only one I could imagine is 4., because the bins generally aren't watertight, so you're essentially spilling water on the floor which will make a mess for everyone. And there are always places to pour the water it's just usually at the entrance of the terminal ... Which is obviously dumb, cuz nobody is going to go back to them after they've already queued to get in.

But 1-3? You must've really gotten unlucky...

1 I could only imagine in expensive restaurants,

2. I am seriously surprised by, because while the person manning the train would almost always ignore you, so would everyone else - no matter what kind of gesture you do.

And 3... While I cannot fathom doing that on purpose myself, I'm extremely surprised anyone would bother interacting with anyone about that? Definitely doesn't reflect my experience living here for roughly 40 yrs

No, I think we'll start with Apple and work our way down. Scale is everything when you're concerned about remediating market damages.

John Deere is already subject to extra regulation in Europe; it's only in America that they're allowed to molest consumers in the aftermarket. And Xbox has had sideloading for decades now, in case you were unaware: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/...

The issue you are describing isn't an problem with C/C++ tooling. It is to do with how the developer dealt with dependencies i.e. poorly. BTW this happens in any language if they do that. I've had to deal with some awful C# code bases that would only compile on one guys machine.

I am a hobbyist C/C++ developer and have a intermediate size code base that builds on Linux, Windows (MinGW and MSVC) and MacOS and I didn't do anything particularly special. What I did do is setup CI early on in my project. So I had to fix any issues as I went along.

> The only reasonable conclusion from your logic is that it would have felt like an even worse idea to build nuclear reactors in the 1970's. Yet, using today's hindsight, it was a great idea.

If the competition was renewables and storage rather than plants running on imported oil during the oil crisis it would have been.

75% of all new capacity in TWh (I.e. adjusting for capacity factor.) globally are renewables and storage. There’s no need to swim against the river.
Referral to coach for fundraising for pre-revenue seed capital?

Hi! I'm pre-revenue but there's a buzz in the corporate events industry about my AI Agent MVP. Who do you recommend to help me get my slide deck and financials ready for fundraising? What is the best way to fundraise for seed capital when pre-revenue? Family Offices in the Middle East (because the US is sluggish on startup investing right now)? "Go Fund Me" type sites for B2B products? Something else?

I built a document-to-website tool for freelancers, independent creatives, and anyone who needs to get their work onto a website instantly. https://boldlyhq.com

It's made for non-technical creatives to: - get a custom branded portfolio link for design, photography, copywriting, creative work - share pricing pages, service packages, and project proposals on the fly, with ease - share mockups and drafts with clients in easy-to-access preview link

It's easy to get up and running within seconds, free forever, or launch price of $5/mo for added features.

I've love to hear what you all think. It's a fresh launch and would appreciate any feedback!

I support that freedom! I just think the idea that all employee-employer relationships are exploitative is wrong. It feels derived from Marx's long discredited labour theory of value.

It is of course possible for an employer to treat employees very poorly and arguably exploit them. But it is also possible for employers to lose money for years such that employees are effectively exploiting the employer.

I can imagine unions being a great force of good in the world, but whether they are or are not is largely down to how they behave, just like individuals, corporations and other organizations & institutions.

A union that bargains collectively for it's members sounds very straightforward and logical.

A union like the NYC hotel union that actively lobbies for fewer hotels feels insane.

Define "think".

We observe through our senses geometric relationships.

Syntax is exactly that; letters, sentences, paragraphs organized in spatial/geometric relationships.

At best thought is recreation of neural networks in the brain which only exist as spatial relationships.

Our senses operate on spatial relationships; enough light to work by, and food relative to stomach to satisfy our biological impetus to survive (which is spatial relationships of biochemistry).

The idea of "thought" as anything but biology makes little sense to me then as a root source is clearly observable. Humanity, roughly, repeats the same social story. All that thought does not seem to be all that useful as we end up in the same place; the majority as serfs of aristocracy.

Personally would prefer less "thought" role-play and more people taking the load of the labor they exploit to enable them to sit and "think".

I thought that what constitutes a measurement is well understood; it's just the entanglement between the experiment and the observer, and the process is called decoherence - and the collapse itself is a probabilistic process as a result.

AFAIK an EoT is not required to design experiments to determine if it's a real physical phenomenon vs. a mathematical trick; people are trying to think up those experiments now (at least for hidden variable models of QM).

The problem with Unifont is that is was never designed to actually support real text, it just has glyph support. So if you need "it can do every language I might want, while looking pretty good" you're far better off with the (much newer) family of NoTo fonts, which aren't just free to use, but explicitly use the modern SIL Open Font License.

I think it's both - while game devs experience more hardship than regular devs do, I'd say they still constitute an insanely fortunate slice of society, not exactly Oliver Twist.

From the article, remote work seems to be the crux of the issue - I do think devs should get it but the pity party they hold for themselves is kinda tone deaf imo

> where's the room for objection?

I suspect most of the people arguing this way would be in favor of more end user rights if we were talking about anything except the right to use AI.

“Rights good, AI bad” somehow leads to the insane argument that it’s a good thing you don’t have rights over the book you bought.

“You don’t really own the book” is a crazy argument unless the person saying this wants the locked-down DRM world where you can’t own a piece of media.

The whole “blaming Gen Z” thing is getting old. You get what you pay for.

You’re likely offering “market rate” roles. You’re getting “market rate” candidates and behavior. It’s like walking into a Fiat dealership and being mad you’re not getting Ferrari treatment.

If you want better you are welcome to pay more and then maybe people will have less incentives to ghost you. The Ferrari treatment still exists, you just need to pay for it.

The job market didn't get rude, it just regressed to the mean. "Rude" is the default; when one side shows respect it's likely for the other side to reciprocate. When one side doesn't, there is little reason for the other side to put in the effort.

Well it made sense for France for multiple reasons even in 70s. France didn't trust / like Anglophone dominance in the world. They brutally kept their colonies, sometimes to the bitter end. The mistrust to US/UK hegemony and the strong sense of nationalism is the reason we have Ariane and Airbus programs. Henceforth, they also invested in their own nuclear program. To make small and cheaper nuclear weapons, you need plutonium which can only be created in reactors. Even with that knowledge they burned fossil fuels majorly before 70s.

France built majority of their nuclear reactors after 70s oil crisis. So it made sense to have independent resources for them. So they won't need to rely on other nations, some of which were their former colonies that hated them. They had two strong reasons to keep a nuclear base electricity generations.

We use GNU Unifont in Solvespace for the text window/property browser. It's built right into the executable. This turned out to be amazingly useful. Some people have CJK stuff in their designs and it "just works" on all platforms. I was also looking into hole annotations in CAD and was pleased to see the symbols for counter-bore and counter-sink are both already there in unifont.

You can see unifont in the experimental web version here: https://cad.apps.dgramop.xyz/

China has been scaling back and delaying their nuclear program in favor of renewables since Fukushima.

At saturation, given current nuclear build out based on actual construction starts and China’s grid size, China will end up with 2-3% nuclear power in the grid mix.

Enough to sustain a civilian industry to complement any military ambitions, but it does not move the needle.

In terms of electricity China is all in on renewables and storage with a backstop of locally sourced firming coal.

Every time someone hits back in the name of individual rights and privacy, the same thing happens. The state (aka government) does not want us to be able to protect ourselves from its intrusions. The US has become a surveillance state, it's plain as day where it is heading. The weird thing is, we aren't prosecuting actual crimes when they are discovered. So one must assume that the surveillance is political in nature, much like what the USSR did or China currently engages in. It is for repression.

I believe it depends on which parties are responsible for the criminal antitrust violations. Is it the manufacturers abusing monopoly power, or is it OpenAI abusing monopsony power?

I’m not a lawyer or a forensic accountant, but given how remarkably stable the RAM market was until SCAMA disrupted it, I’m inclined to think the answer to your question is a resounding “no.”

Indeed, people confidently assert as established fact things like "brains are bound by the laws of physics" and therefore "there can't be anything special" about them, so "consciousness is an illusion" and "the mind is a computer", all with absolute conviction but with very little understanding of what physics and maths really do and do not say about the universe. It's a quasi-religious faith in a thing not fully comprehended. I hope in the long run some humility in the face of reality will eventually be (re)learned.

I tried and cannot. Just keep thinking of it as: if something is doing 2 jobs, split it, if 2 things have the same as they say goes-in-tos and -goes-out-ofs, combine them. And same doesn't mean bit for bit match (though obviously don't needlessly duplicate data), but just a bit higher level.

The problem is that I don't sit in the microservice or enterprise backend spaces, so I an struggling to formulate explanations in those terms.

Have you looked when they started construction and what their projected end date was?

Yes there are new ones but both of those are perfect examples of the lack of knowledge [1].

I'll quote: > Many of the organisations chosen to work on the different parts of the plant did not have any experience in nuclear, and little understanding of the safety requirements.

We'll get there. But yes, we're rebuilding a lot of lost knowledge and paying for the teething issues.
