I have three requirements that I would like to satisfy in a new laptop:

1. AMD Ryzen, Zen 2 or later (meaning 3000 desktop, 4000 mobile or 5000 any). At this point assume that I’m not concerned about class of processor, though I think H-class is probably my ideal.

2. Minimum screen resolution of 2560×1440, preferably 4K or similar. (And since I’m talking, ideally a squarer aspect ratio like 3:2, but those are so rare I won’t even bother looking. But I do really like my Surface Book’s 3000×2000 display.)

3. No NVIDIA GPU, because I want to use Linux and NVIDIA hates Linux, and I want to be able to run Wayland also. So either integrated graphics only (with a U-class or H-class APU), or an AMD dGPU (which would be the only option on the higher-end desktop CPUs). Sure, with U-class or H-class I could just disable the NVIDIA GPU, but the dead weight and giving money to NVIDIA for something I will never use galls, quite apart from the mild nuisance of figuring out how to disable it.

I looked through all the manufacturers I could find in Australia, and all the Clevo OEMs I could find worldwide.

I have not found a single device that satisfies all three of these requirements. Any two, sure, but not all three.

A related peeve lies with the H-class APUs: why can’t I get one without an NVIDIA GPU? I have found only one place selling laptops with H-class APUs and no dedicated NVIDIA GPU: TUXEDO, in their Pulse 14 and Pulse 15. But even then, they’re only available on paper—order now and you won’t get it for over three months since they’re currently out of both 4600H and 4800H APUs. (For myself, I rule TUXEDO out for not shipping to Australia, anyway; any forwarding service arrangement would be a bother and probably expensive, and leave me with a useless warranty.) But you’d think that more than one manufacturer would look at how light yet powerful a laptop they can make this way and do one without a discrete GPU. Look, the Pulse 15 with its 91Wh battery even advertises over 20 hours of battery life when idling at minimum brightness (and the Pulse 14’s 47Wh battery, 12 hours).

These things make me sad. I hope the portfolio expansion mentioned here will include something to satisfy me.

Early Greenwald was interesting.

Recent Greenwald seems off the deep end, such as his flat assertion that nobody organized anything about 6 Jan on Parler, only on Facebook.

He used to uncover inconvenient facts, facts that challenged both sides’ tight narratives. Now he seems to cherry pick or manufacture fact-ish soundbites to push a contrarian or click-bait position. There’s not a lot of daylight between these, but I suspect the difference has to do with the tedious work needed for being a great reporter.

Early Greenwald method seemed to be “do the homework”, recent Greenwald method seems more akin to Fox’s opinion hosts the Fox legal team disclaims as nobody reasonably believing are real news.

Sure, it's not necessary, but it is convenient. Athletes train in the off-season, so teams and sportspeople alike would not want their training disrupted knowing that it would probably negatively impact their performace next season when it really matters.

Loss of records is not loss of skills or knowledge though. And the Dark Ages wiki you link talks about how the term fell out of use amongst historians for being inaccurate.

To quote:

"Science historian David C. Lindberg criticised the public use of 'dark ages' to describe the entire Middle Ages as "a time of ignorance, barbarism and superstition" for which "blame is most often laid at the feet of the Christian church, which is alleged to have placed religious authority over personal experience and rational activity".[52] Historian of science Edward Grant writes that "If revolutionary rational thoughts were expressed in the Age of Reason, they were made possible because of the long medieval tradition that established the use of reason as one of the most important of human activities".[53] Furthermore, Lindberg says that, contrary to common belief, "the late medieval scholar rarely experienced the coercive power of the church and would have regarded himself as free (particularly in the natural sciences) to follow reason and observation wherever they led".[54] Because of the collapse of the Western Roman Empire due to the Migration Period a lot of classical Greek texts were lost there, but part of these texts survived and they were studied widely in the Byzantine Empire and the Abbasid Caliphate. Around the eleventh and twelfth centuries in the High Middle Ages stronger monarchies emerged; borders were restored after the invasions of Vikings and Magyars; technological developments and agricultural innovations were made which increased the food supply and population. And the rejuvenation of science and scholarship in the West was due in large part to the new availability of Latin translations of Aristotle.[55]"

Dev console is a debugger, not a code editor. It's useful for us to assist in developing web applications. It's far less useful for a non-engineer to tinker around with and make simple things.

You can't install npm packages. There's no simple UI to alter DOM like via drag and drop. Theres's no pre-built components (besides html) to easily create more advanced functionality. They have to write JS from scratch to add events. Managing more than 1 liners is a pain.
Looking at the calculator posted in the sister comment, living wage isn't simply minimum wage adjusted up to inflation. It has to do with employers taking personal circumstances of employees into consideration when setting the minimum wage for that particular employee. Living wage for a single person is very different from living wage for a single parent with two children.

There are some dueling abstractions, yes! There was a good write-up from Anil Dash that picked up one of my favorite pieces of the recent TabFS write-up[1][2], _Keeping Tabs on Abstractions[3],_ noting that the browser & OS are each running competing abstractions for tabs. The application's invention of the Multi Document Interface (MDI) has done weird things! And I feel like most consumer OSes have done little to try to unify or provide options in the OS level, to take back territory.

I as quite happy & pleased when Google's Chrome on Android had tabs each appear as tabs in the OS. I have too many tabs, but I enjoyed that it was up to my launcher, up to my os to help me work with that. It gave me flexibility & options to approach the problem. Where-as, when Chrome went back to managing tabs itself, it's both been a disaster for me (new tab window shows me the start of my tabs, which has some years old tabs i only need occasionally), and a sadness, a defeat, that the OS can no longer manage this thing.

Irrelevant at the Spanish level? You sound like you consume too much Spanish media if you say that. Of course they don't give this much relevance, as with everything concerning the elites. In any country with decent media, this man and his scandals would make plenty of front pages.
The confusing part is Zen3 and Zen2 SKUs are intermeshed among U tier processors, 5800U/5600U are Zen3 and 5700U/5500U/5300U are Zen2.
And they'd be right to, because actually the situation is inverted. Saying a useful tool is unnecessary and a symptom of the fact that all tools are broken is the sort of thing the person holding the chainsaw would say, not the people who understand why a whole range of tools exist.
I do torrent movies consistently even though I could watch them directly through my subscription, mainly because of two reasons:

A) Usually my VPN is active and I don't want to shut it down just that netflix/amazon allows my to watch something

B) I like setting the playback speed to ~1.1 of my media player, which is not supported by any streaming provider I'm subscribed to.

What we're doing in this line of thought is negotiating that limit.

My remark was that no testosterone is absurd due to the critical role it has in development, providing a bound on what it would mean for testosterone to be a toxin. Some is good. I acknowledge that having high-enough testosterone levels to the point where heart failure and prostate cancer is implicated, would be difficult (although if true, the effect is non-linear: this study did not replicate issues with heart disease, nor did its citations[0]). So too much is bad. If you insist on framing testosterone as a toxin, then the dose will make the poison as well as the cure.

(100% testosterone is a nonsense quantity since you can always raise blood concentrations, but let's put it at values greater than 1000ng/dl for most people)

A universal drop in testosterone within at least the US, with something leftover to explain after controlling for lifestyle factors, and no sign of stalling in the trend, brings us to a conundrum. If we do nothing, and testosterone decreases faster than it used to, and some testosterone is good, and no testosterone is bad, but too much testosterone is bad, should we stop the process? Unless you set the "too much" to be much lower than what has been medically accepted, the answer must be yes at some point.

Since this is about picking an optima, what is at stake is whether or not testosterone levels before the 2000s were responsible for outsized rates of heart disease and prostate cancer (or other morbidities), and if this is true, whether or not the problems gained through the decline of testosterone weigh off the cost of its presence. We could include other externalities like status-seeking behaviors or sperm counts, which would make the comparison harder but more honest.

What I expect - I am not sure - is that testosterone's presence in heart disease (not prostate cancer) will be comorbid with testosterone-independent factors, such as diet/exercise. And since the norm seems to be testosterone declining with age I would be surprised if pushing that curve towards youth ends up being a good thing.

Feel free to challenge these assumptions, but I really think what we need to do is debate the weights.

> I'm identifying that people are only suggesting positive aspects of high testosterone and ignoring the negative. And, you are again reiterating the positive aspects in a biased, almost spiritualised way.

I am curious why you would use the word "spiritualized". I was not invoking the supernatural within my argument (the word "spiritedness" doesn't count; its meaning is secular). The emphasis on positive factors is because I'm debating your emphasis on the negatives. Attempting to frame the argument as spiritual without pointing to particulars is to add connotations of irrationality which aren't there. It is true that I am arguing emphatically.

... dirtiest affairs of the Spanish _politicians_. Power wars, corruption and how the deep state works routinely under the rug, are in itself pretty interesting themes. Don't made the mistake to thing that this would never happen in your own country (or that is not happening right now).

Spanish society does not have any part to play on this power and lies game but... "Spain is evil, yadah, yadah, we want independence, yadah, yadah, etc". Yep. Obviously elections in Catalonia have started again. We had heard this before.

It is a personal protection item like any other. Is it useful in New York City or Lisbon? Probably not. But the same applies to other PPEs and we don't shame people for wanting to buy/use them. If a person feels safer using X, then fine, use it.

As a society we used to mock people that bought Gas Masks and Respirators, marginalizing them as crazy. Then 2020 happened and all of a sudden every single gas mask, including useless old surplus, was out of stock.

I've just started a browser app that allows you to create and restore layouts of windows with websites, with minimal graphical UI and which remembers zoom levels and scroll positions as well as has an auto-refresh functionality.

The goal is to have a dense information display system that can persist between restarts and after the window is interacted with, all of the overlapping windows are correctly restored to their positions.

I will use it to display trading data, but it would also probably be useful for showing service and build statuses if they are distributed across different services or pages.

I've looked for exising solutions for this on Windows, and they look all very rudimentary. Window layout savers have very little recognition logic when restoring window placements, and of course they don't restore internal state like auto-refresh and scroll position. Chrome by default doesn't restore pop-up windows, while non-popup windows have too much of a GUI visible and I wasn't able to find an add-on that can do this.

I would probably be better off writing a browser extension, but I'm not that proficient in that, so for now am going with making a browser by integrating Microsoft's new embedded Chromium-based browser.
The idea would be to have zero caloric inputs.

So water and coffee or tea (without milk, of course) would be fine. You're trying to avoid an insulin response and firing up the entire machinery of digestion.

I think it's non-controversial to say that this starves the cancer cells.

Perhaps less certainly we can also say that digestion demands a lot of resources and is an interrupt for a lot of other processes. When your body has nothing to do for 24-36 hours eventually lower priority tasks get attended to ... like garbage collection.
They (Dorsey, Zuckerberg, Bezos) haven't spent a lot of time expounding on exactly why they banned Trump (and in Amazon's case, an entire app as collateral damage), but the gist I seem to see is that they didn't do it because they, personally, didn't like Trump but because they were afraid of potential legal reprisal.

In the 90's, Howard Stern spent his career being chased from one radio station to the next because the FCC had what seemed to be a vendetta against him: they would apply the incredibly vague standard of "obscenity" to his broadcasts and use that as an excuse to fine the radio station that carried him, relenting only when they dropped him. What's happening to outspoken conservatives right now on social media isn't quite parellel, since the government itself isn't taking action against these platforms, but the threat is real.

Jack Dorsey hasn't come out and said, "I kicked Donald Trump off of my platform because it's my platform, my rules and I don't like the guy" but rather "leaving him here has the potential to cause harm" - the unspoken part of which is "that Twitter may be found liable for".
> These historians of science that technologists avoid consulting in your estimation, are they going to refute the dark ages?

Largely yes. The term "the dark ages" was developed by Petrarch, a man who was so obsessed with the Romans that he had himself crowned with laurels to signify his inheritance of Rome. And this is also largely unrelated to history of science, since "the dark ages" (as expressed by both Petrarch and pre-20th century historians) does not refer to loss of scientific knowledge.

> Not having records being categorized metaphorically as darkness, and more records as "Enlightenment" is pretty high regard for a word used the same way in the contemporary context as something an accountant or dentist keeps in a filing cabinet.

But Petrarch was hundreds of years before the Enlightenment and would have hated it. He believed that the Romans were the peak of civilization ever. It was not possible to top them. The idea that modern humans could improve upon what they did would have been anathema to Petrarch and most Renaissance thinkers.

But most importantly, these historians of science would take issue with Blow's conclusions from specific examples. He lists a few "lost" technologies and then concluded methods to prevent technological loss that are entirely unrelated to the examples he lists. At most, all they demonstrate is that it is possible for some things to go unrecorded.
