I couldn’t find the exact specs in the post, but it’s most likely unable to run Steam because of the processor in use. If you’re not familiar the screen shots are of a very popular emulation front-end called Emulation Station.

Related, a few years back I got in the hobby of building Raspberry Pi (Zero, 3, and 4) into Gameboy (original gen 1) shells. Economies of scale sure are nice, because even the raw materials for building one cost me more than $80.

EDIT: I found the specs (or someone quoting specs) and it looks like it is comparable to Raspberry Pi Zero and does not have wireless. That would make things like Steamlink a non-starter.

Gun clubs are popular in Europe. In France, until very recently (2017), you could buy an MG42 or a Browning M2. If you bought it before that date, you can still have it, but now full auto is no longer allowed. There are no restrictions on platforms or types of weapons, only on caliber.

In Switzerland, on the other hand, you can have full auto. Europe is not a gun-free zone like Americans seem to think, from both sides of the aisle.
Maybe the case just got lost in the shuffle during all this hustle and bustle.
Better query languages.

Right now I am writing something in Java that embeds Java-in-Java to write Java expression trees such that you can do LISPy metaprogramming... kinda like

add(callSqrt(X),Y)

where X and Y are numerically typed expressions; you could either evaluate this interpretively like a LISP S-Expression or write it into source code and compile it. I've been able to unerase the types in much of the Java standard library in such a way that the expression trees are type safe and your IDE keeps track of the unerasure.

It isn't hard to make them triggered a different way, it is that it is hard to make them reliable enough and triggered a different way. They are designed to be triggered this way because it makes them simple. They are hard to service (requires surgery) and need to be triggered reliably when they are bring triggered. To achieve this, they are made as simply as possible, so have a simple trigger mechanism. Users of them are then told that they have to avoid this situation, by being very careful. One of the instructions anyway is to not keep a phone near them, because of concerns about RF interference. It isn't a case of making another way to trigger pace-makers, it is a case of making a way that is extremely unlikely to fail to work and will remain like that for decades, and where equipment to do it is very cheap. It will then take decades for there not to be people with these devices walking around. If they are changed to work a different way, you also need to equip hospitals around the world with a way to trigger them. Basically, it is really impractical, and it is not as much of a problem as you might think because users should already be hyper aware of the danger of this. Anything you do to change it has a huge risk of killing them because of failing to work if it turns out to be even a tiny bit less reliable after the devices have been inside people for years.

Another example of a device that would be a problem like this is my watch. Jewelry that would have similar problems is also common. Things which would be a problem if put close enough are everywhere, but this is always going to be an issue with something like this that is designed to be triggered easily and extremely reliably, and the decision has previously been taken to educate the tiny number of users of them about it rather than go through the unimaginable logistical effort of changing them now (obviously it was much easier when they were new and rare).

Edit: removed paragraph about making a warning device that I don't think is worth including here.

My understanding is that there is little benefit in upgrading the iGPU to RDNA2 because of the bandwidth limitations imposed by sharing ddr4 with the CPU. We should see some real improvements in iPGU performance once ddr5 rolls out late 2021/early 2022.
Those differences between the lower brackets exist more because of the power those in the top have. Raising incomes of those in the lower brackets might increase the gaps between some of them: but those gaps are much smaller than between any of them and the top.
What average or semi pro user (the core New Apple User) have not contemplated is that technologies on a macro scale at the current moment are a step towards the political agenda of control of governments and corporations over people.

This is not a conspiracy. This is the official plan for the 4th industrial revolution by WEF. (https://tinyurl.com/yyfmj7gk). The goal is to abolish private property and live in a real time data driven world which is clearly a Communistic Agenda "The theory of the communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property." - Karl Marx.

In this context big corporations are cooperating with governments under supervision of WEF to implement general control with global AI infrastructure (actually there is EU program for supercomputers network already in place). Apple, Google, Microsoft and Amazon are part of this network of influence and they will sell user data to governments on demand.

The idea of personal computing without authorisation(Digital ID https://tinyurl.com/y5he2qr9) and oversight (telemetry) will be contrary to the values of the new Digital Utopia. Obviously big tech is politically driven and will be protected from scrutiny in the future in this context.

The traction motors will be brushless, and thus have large permanent magnets in the rotors. I can't imagine there would be significant fields from those magnets in the cabin, but getting a pacemaker or ICD very close to the motors themselves might well pose a risk, and the manual's warnings are likely present partly for that reason and partly out of fear of liability.
Thanks for clarifying. Does this mean they can't have a backup and then delete that backup after the data has been successfully deleted from the main db?

Of course, it's easy for me to say these things in hindsight but my point is that this is an issue with the organization not having the right processes, rather than the technology going wrong. This is alluded to in the article: "Policing minister Kit Malthouse said the problem had been identified and the process corrected".
And the AUS government can would then say "You're in breach of this code, billions please."

I want a product like this that syncs to the cloud file system of my choice for both portability and ease to edit on my desktop.

I would try this product but don’t want the mental friction of yet another blob of my data that’s in some proprietary store. Even if they are cool, like this seems, and will export/import.

A good example of this is ynab back in the day where they just had a file protocol on top of dropbox. And Moneydance still does this.

I’m paying for data storage and am steady comfortable with the the encryption, privacy, etc. if all this needs to do is store and organize markdown, then that should be done on a file base.

The Joys of Being an Absolute Beginner–For Life
I remember the lowest sku's almost always being a last generation part. which seem to be more about economics than uninformed buyers. You can buy a last generation laptop with a 4500u however there is merit to buying a new laptop with all new features the laptop itself provides. Also, the design might be 'last generation' however that does not mean its exactly the same. which is important because architectural changes can and have caused problems that were adressed in later revisions of the same cpu. You'd be surprised how much effort most people put in to researching consumer electronics decisions. their knowledge might scratch the surface of what technical people know months in advance to a cpu launch but it is significant nonetheless.
Notice I never once said they shouldn't be held accountable for their mistakes.
I mean, hardware-wise, aren't most recent consoles general purpose computing devices, with game-optimized hardware controls anyway? For example, the Switch is a modified Nvidia tablet chip.
The difference in thermals and power really just impacts boost clocks. It's not a very significant difference otherwise, at least not in the CPU space and especially not in single-core performance.

A max-draw zen3 desktop core is only 20w. You'll see that in these laptops, or near enough to make no difference.
Will be nice of there will be Mini ITX/media HTPC variants of this CPU.

You can play games and media on 14-45W CPU TDP which should be very quiet from fan noise.
I had a gut feeling it will be '.cd' before clicking on the article and I was right. Dealing with the state entity (SCPT) that manages this TLD is quite a pain. It's so painful that I've given up managing all the .cd domains I used to own.

.cd domains are also some of the most expensive to get. Hopefully the new government will take this seriously.

One hopes people with a device keeping them alive would have an incentive to follow instructions, especially if it doesn't involve addictive substances. They also get told to avoid metal detectors, and they know to do this, so it's probably, hopefully, an easy habit to change
I think it requires developers to fix that. At least in Slack there's two buttons next to their in-app image picker. One opens the camera to take a photo, the other pops up the iOS photo picker overlay where you can select more images.
Low effort way to make a quick buck
I was watching Amazon's "All or Nothing" series, specifically the one about the New Zealand Rugby team aka the "All Blacks"

Since the international rugby league is spread across a wide variety of countries and time zones (e.g. Australia/NZ, South Africa and Argentina), it was fascinating to see that the NZ team will send players out ahead of time to acclimate to the time zone. They will also do this even if it means they will play short handed.

For example, if they are playing a series with Argentina, they will have players stay in Argentina through most of the series and not physically play in New Zealand till the end of the series. I always wondered how they quantified the benefit or if it was just a "makes sense to do that" style decision.

Of course, the moral of the story goes beyond TLDs and for nameserver hostnames in general.

Interesting that it wasn't drop-catched, as .com names tend to be. I suppose it didn't have any metrics that'd qualify it for automatic registration.

Not even for 'domain tasting', though I guess it depends on drop catchers setups, which I imagine is just interested in any traffic on port 80/443.

For me at least, it's not just the idea of cheap land. The soil makeup, rainfall, growing zone, etc. all matter. You can go buy scrubland stupid-cheap for example, but it's not really useful for homesteading. Similarly land that was over farmed can sometimes be had dirt cheap because the soil is basically depleted and is little more than dirt.

I would bet it's more likely that the OEM who is using and asked for those chips demanded they be a 5000 series part so that customers weren't skipping it over because of "last gen".

I completely agree it's dishonest, I'm not sure you can blame AMD though. If Dell (I'm not saying this was Dell), came to you and said: either this chip is 5000 or I don't carry ANY of your chips, you give them what they want.

To me this shows AMD has learned its lesson: without the OEMs onboard you aren't going anywhere. Selling individual chips to gamers is profitable, but that only goes so far.

I’ve never tried Odroid but Steamlink, even on a Pi4 is not without flaws. Pi3B+ wired has been mostly unsatisfactory for me and Pi Zero W/Pi3 wireless have been nearly inoperable.

It hasn’t been a currency for a very long time. It’s a speculative gambling vehicle that’s also used for flight capital and money laundering. Even the dark web markets have mostly moved onto Monero which while it has some of the same problems as BTC at least is better for privacy.

That being said, I am not sure it is worse than a lot of other BS in finance. Years and years of crazy low interest have inflated quite a few bubbles and enabled a lot of financial game playing.

I agree.

I only talk about acknowledgement. It's not that hard. Also it's simply unethical to compare first world problems with somebody starving in a concentration camp. You can do that, but it's annoying and stupid. I think it's ok to complain about stupidity of other people.
Your observation holds in desktop. In laptops, the thermals of the 14nm generation were horrible, essentially you have to deal with a whining fan or cpu throttling, or both.
AMD's 4000 series has much improved upon this, and I assume that the latest 10nm Intel will be much better.
Performance-wise I agree with you. Minor changes, probably more noticeable changes come from the massive adoption of fast SSDs (1-2GB/s).
yes, that is why the person I replied to can have an old cpu and it is still fine today.

One time when I was much younger I wrote an auto-download script for a forum I liked. I used it just for myself and never had a problem, so one day I posted it with instructions on how to use it. A few minutes later I got a really angry reply; some guy had hit a weird edge case and it was downloading the same links over and over, rapidly filling up his small SSD and causing all kinds of problems. I apologized and posted a fix, but I was already getting absolutely reamed in the replies by other people who either had the same bug, or some other. That's how I learned newbies should not throw random code on the Internet - it pisses people off when you tell them "Use this!" and then it breaks their computer.

When I people say "I want everyone to be able to code on the web in JavaScript", what I really hear is "I want an Internet full of broken, unusable, and possibly dangerous garbage, written in one of the least safe and elegant languages ever created, where most things are completely hostile to the majority who come across it."

Additionally, if this person can't read a ten-minute tutorial on how to install Ruby with homebrew, imagine what else they probably won't do:

- Read/write a CoC or contributor's guidelines
- Spend time translating their web pages, or making them accessible
- Understand basic security and privacy issues/best practices
- Take the extra time to make useful bug reports, or make reports at all
- Read (or write) references, documentation, or tutorials
- Learn general netiquette for commits, mailing lists, pull requests
- Understand the basics of open-source licenses

And maybe this is totally fine for your completely personal hobby project, but the next logical step is having other people use it. This isn't the kind of behavior we want to carry into that next step.
The most ethical move would have been to write to people listed at https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/cd.html and put IANA in copy (likely ROOT-MGMT@IANA.ORG as listed in the public document: 24x7 Emergency Process Step-by-Step Description).
Thanks for posting this. I need to try it out. I'm specifically curious about how it performs when a certain amount of those 20k connections are busy and generating traffic. If I'm understanding, the anycable-go connection to ruby is over RPC? So individual websocket messages generate requests to ruby? I could see this performing better for idle connections, that's for sure.
I'm mildly pro nuclear, but even then I'm not sure I'd have one of those near people. Minor incidents happen frequently, but they would be so much severe, or at least scary, if there's thousands of people within a mile of the device.

However, I exclusively use DuckDuckGo, personally.
A problem here is that heat is very easy to store. So if one can make heat from intermittent power (say, resistively, or with some kind of heat pump) then storage becomes much less of an issue than if one wanted to store the electrical energy itself.

In any environment where renewable power is being curtailed, the cost of using that power to make heat will be very low. Nuclear heat will be competing against a very low cost alternative.
Yes, but 4 cores has been the standard for a long time already. Recently thanks to AMD heavy users often are grabbing 8, 12, 16 or more.
I agree with you that cash is the best choice given that privacy is the main concern, even better than bitcoin or any other crypto with a visible blockchain. Banks already tie the money you spend to your identity. I would like to own digital currency, like i own the cash in my wallet. Banks would not like that, since when they would like to own it and lend it to me.

They've progressed notably in terms of total draw power and therefore battery life. Admittedly, not much of a difference when it comes to the overall system responsiveness in basic user workflows. Quoting from the article:

> Ryzen 7 5800U as its most efficient mobile processor to date, citing 21.4 hours battery life on a 53 Wh battery during 1080p video playback with Wi-Fi on, or 17.5 hours in MobileMark 2018’s battery life test

Exactly - a p-hack is a form of misreporting, so isn't easy to detect at the level of individual studies.

However, p-hacking isn't the only threat to replicability: in this case the authors have reported a large set of tests, so we can ask why they didn't control family-wise error via Bonferroni or friends (in which case the reported statistical significance almost certainly disappears). Also, I suspect if you fit Bayesian models (either separately or a hierarchical model) using reasonably narrow priors based on what we know about human sensitivity to magnetic fields, how much other senses are affected by sex differences, hunger, etc., and not starting each test assuming a complete state of ignorance of the world, then the data would be compatible with no effect.
In the USA, yeah, because it's a left and right divide. Nuance gets completely lost and it's hard to find common ground because you may agree on one thing but then you'd have to 'give in' and lose face.
