That could be interesting. I remember reading a report here years ago about a funny bug that was caused by the big and little cores having different endianness. Indeed the process would start on one core, process some data, get scheduled to the other core and boom, weird output. Does someone recall the story?
Your current admin is lying to you - there's no way they could see if a program was moving the mouse every now and then to keep the indicator green.

> This is an issue with many computers, it's quite hard to find 32GB laptop. Definitely not impossible, but I expected to see a lot more.

It’s not that big of an issue, although there often are tradeoffs (aka thinner profiles often don’t support 32GB RAM).

> You can add a 6K display, I'm not seeing the issue here for many people unless you're a trader at a hedge fund.

6k displays are expensive (to start with it’s not a standard resolution so pretty much the only model is Apple’s $5000 display, but more standard 5K displays are basically the price of the computer), getting more smaller display is often cheaper, and more importantly you might have those already, having to buy new displays while the existing ones are suitable to your needs is neither economical nor ecological.
This board is a very convenient way (maybe the most convenient one I've seen) to setup a bare-metal cluster of computers. Not just multiple cores, not just multiple VMs, four entirely separate ARM computers communicating over a real hardware network. One Alternative to boards like this is to connect multiple SBCs together, with all the wiring, and also some mechanical support. Another (more powerful alternative) is to install some kind of server rack at home. More expensive, too. Using multiple virtual machines is also not quite the same.

What people use it for? Mostly to learn how to deal with problems that arise from managing a cluster and running software on it. Can you build a website that tolerates getting one of the nodes or hard drives turned off?

Some people use such solutions for productive things, like a Home Server, but a store-bought NAS or a single PC is usually more performant. A PI cluster might be less power hungry in some scenarios.

Some people use them as build/test platforms for code that should run on ARM architectures. Others have used them to host a website from their internet connection (I know...).

Some people just have fun tinkering with such things....
Yes I understand perfectly fine that he (and apparently you) only read the headline.
Basically like the time when we could still upgrade and max out the memory for a fraction of Apple's overpriced offerings :)

We should also consider how many apps are usefully available as websites through a FOSS browser (on phone).
I guess it is. But I suspect the price (as it's usually the case with "cool" rpi things) isn't going to look like one of a cable management solution. INB4: $200
Love how during the presentation suddenly a chat window appeared while I still was paying attention to the presentation, I had to refocus to deal with that one. At first I thought it was part of it but it wasn't. I'm not sure if the person pays attention to their own advice.
You can do it at the process level using the task manager. I'm not sure you can do it at thread level (programmatically) or even lower level.
Yep, I wanted to build it on top of SQLAlchemy to inherit all it's robustness and to be compatible with it, as it has the biggest widespread. SQLAlchemy now supports async too, so SQLModel inherits that as well.

And in particular, other libraries have done a great job, but I wanted to take advantage of the features that editors can provide, with autocompletion, inline errors, etc. SQLModel has lots of tricks to provide the best developer experience possible, e.g. autocompletion while creating a new model instance.

For example, the style of querying stuff, for example: https://sqlmodel.tiangolo.com/tutorial/where/#where-and-expr...
The global financial system largely runs on a tech stack of Cobol, CICS, DB2 on zOS.
My (limited) understanding is: the Librem phone has a very limited number of apps.
The vendor tackles existing GTK (?) apps and tries to make them work with touch. But it seems to do so on a best-effort basis so nothing is guaranteed.

I acknowledge that Purism is a small company and that it can only do so much. In case it fails, my gamble is that enough people are going to contribute and keep the most important apps working.

I’ve found a list of apps here: https://linmobapps.frama.io/
Thanks Simon! It means a lot, even more coming from you (I might screenshot this comment and frame it in my living room). :D
I can’t speak for everyone, but that’s certainly a technical part of it. Another big part of the problem is that it’s insulting to presume everyone guilty, and make them to use their own resources (own phone, own battery cycles) to investigate them as if they were suspects. But that’s been discussed plenty on other threads here at HN.
Yeah nucs really aren't that great. Minimal GPIO if any. No mPCIE slots.... And they are expensive.
Main reason is I think it's conceptually simpler. In particular, Liveview is stateful and Hotwire is stateless.

I think there are some potential performance benefits of liveview (less sent over the wire and less work done server side) however I prefer to optimise for simplicity and fewer bugs.

Edit. Caveat this with the fact that I haven't used Livewire in anger.

There are a lot of hotels that offer kitchenettes. Generally, they're long term rentals, but you can get them for a few nights, as well. I'm guessing the large common spaces and more laid back environment are a big draws as well.

I just did an AirBnb with a group of families for just under a week. We almost exclusively at in and the logistics around food was a lot of work. It was probably exacerbated because it was about 20 people with a huge range of ages (many with particular preferences), but not many dietary restrictions. We were concerned upfront about extra food or waste at the end of the trip. Every lunch was "leftovers or sandwiches," the last few meals were also leftovers, and we still threw out an embarrassing amount of food (and had at least 2-3 trips to the grocery store to restock). Want ketchup, salad dressing, or need paprika? Odds are you'll buy a bottle and toss the rest. Decide you want to eat out? You probably have a meals worth of food at home you won't need. We also spent time upfront figuring out if the kitchen had what we needed; like a toaster or a grill.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of cooking at these places. Their knives often suck, the layout isn't usually great, and they'll have cheap cutting boards or the dishwasher won't work.

If it works for people, great. I imagine what works in practice is a few small things to cook at the AirBnB (like eggs or sandwiches) and mix that with takeout. And be ok with the waste and cost (traveling is usually pretty wasteful, anyway).
I don't experience this as an issue as much. Take the Macbook Air, launched in 2008 at $1800 for the entry-level model.

Personal income has risen (nominal terms) by 65% since then [0].

As a portion of our income the entry level macbook of 2008 would be the equivalent of $2970. Instead, it's $999. The resale value seems excellent. The battery life of 20 hours, means the battery life will be acceptable for many years to come. The thing is ridiculously fast compared to today's everyday needs and will likely continue to be so for many years.

In short, as a consumer product this thing is absolutely excellent value and should have an extensive lifetime. Not having the ability to upgrade isn't as big an issue as it used to be.

For pro devices, there's a different calculus, because by definition professional usage tends to try to approach the limits of the hardware and so the ability to upgrade every few years is useful. Still, here too the value proposition is quite strong allowing for good resale value upon a full-replacement upgrade. And as pro users tend to use their computer for professional use, losing a bit of money on necessary full-replacement upgrades isn't as big a deal either. The monthly cost of a $3k macbook pro that gets sold & fully replaced every 4 years, is something like $40. If that powers most of your productivity that earns you a $60k a year salary (let alone 300k a year), shaving off $5 or $10 a month because of upgrade options isn't really a big deal. And I don't really see anyone else providing laptop upgrades + this value/performance ratio as the M1...

You were probably downvoted because you proposed and answered a different question. They may or may not be burnt out, but they've identified Web Dev as something they don't want to do, and also have no trouble actually doing. They were looking for advice on pivoting into a different discipline of programming, but you mainly offered advice on pivoting into a different kind of company within the same discipline.
So only 125 of these mega turbines to replace one nuclear power plant? Amazing.

France produces 75% of their electricity with 56 nuclear power plants, which - if the above is broadly correct - you would be able to replace with 7000 of these wind mills. That's a lot, but on the other hand, Germany has already installed 20k wind turbines so far, so it seems within reach. Obviously you still need to think about matching supply and demand, but I'm surprised by how feasible this appears.
It's not just the networking. Which would be awkward enough. It's also power and IO/Storage.

Just take a look at the PI Clusters people have built, the volume is a few times that of the boards alone.

Also, the CM4 is a bit cheaper than a comparable "complete" SBC, though I don't know if you'd come out ahead with the price of the board.
In the US yes, the rest of the world not so much. They were already popular or had other influences initially.

Legacy projects: Plain HTML frontend with minimal vanilla JS for small progressive enhancements, PHP (custom framework) backend, Postgres, deployed directly on rented bare metal hosts, Salt for configuration

New projects: HyperApp JS frontend, Python (aiohttp) or Rust (warp) backends, Postgres, deployed in docker containers on rented bare metal hosts, Ansible for configuration

Notes:

switched from salt-server to salt-ssh after there was a salt-server exploit which owned my whole fleet. Switched from salt-ssh to ansible-ssh after salt-ssh was broken on osx for 14 months (and counting…)

Backups done with each project having a cronjob dumping a snapshot into a folder, then SyncThing copies those onto a remote backup host, with the backup host configured to keep old versions of files

Debian stable for the hosts, language-specific images for containers. I wonder if my bare-metal OS runs basically only sshd and docker, is there a better choice than Debian? It works fine, just seems overkill...

Monitoring done with telegraf + influxdb. Previously I had grafana in front. Recently moved to influxdb 2.0 with built-in dashboards, which is ok, but grafana was better (more graph settings (influx doesn’t even do log-scale y axis??); more flexible alarming; graphing and alarming were integrated where influx has them separate) - considering putting grafana back even if it means re-creating all the dashboards and alarm rules for a second time...
I also like "mushroom managing" - cover them in shit, keep them in the dark...
SEC Chief Warns ‘Clock Is Ticking’ on Delisting Chinese Stocks
I've just switched over from iPhone to SailfishOS running on Xperia 10ii (the most powerful device to run SailfishOS officially and the only 64-bit one). Reflashing firmware took about 20 minutes in total, no issues since except for the need to figure out how to install OpenRepos.net on it.

It has a nice OLED screen (N9 vibe) and the on-screen keyboard makes it feel like typing on an N900; the camera works fine. I didn't install Android support so I am running pure SailfishOS.
I'm not sure these NVidia cards are very powerful. One decent GPU in a PC may blow several clusters of these out of the water. I haven't checked, though.
It is more complex than just a one word description but that’s an argument from absurdity.

Let’s suppose we build a teleport device which can make identical copies. As in your standing in pad X then someone else is standing on pad Y that looks identical to pad X and you both respond identically.

Now, whatever that machine reads as your mind state is your actual mind state. We don’t need to make an actual copy to do exactly what you said was impossible.
I am that minority. Are you saying that M1 doesn't support multiple monitors at the moment ? That's a shame because I don't like to work without multiple monitors unless I am travelling or not in my office.
Ah I was using --head (actually -I) as part of my debugging. It's still not correct though is it? (I was thinking about opening an issue on the github repo)

How will your product prevent deaths? I understand it allows for convenient ECG monitoring at home. But if there is a problem observed in the ECG, is the patient diverted back to the hospital?
If you have time, please could you check somewhere if there are traces of any manufacturer other than Sceptre? Although possible, I don't think they're made exclusively by or for Sceptre as the cost should be much higher due to the smaller market, so I believe there are chances they could exist somewhere else under a different brand, which hopefully would distribute in the EU.
Thanks!
This is what I am curious about and it might take away some of the amazement. We know from the PPC to Intel transition, Steve Jobs mentioned that they 'always' had a port of their OS to intel. So I am wondering if the same and is true here and maybe for more architectures? Makes sense. Have an internal version that can run on different architectures so if a decision is made to switch the hardware, most of the heavy lifting is done.

My bet is, they've had an internal MacOS port on Arm for sometime.

Edit: To add. From what I've read, the M1 chip is fairly similar in many respects to the Arm chips in their phones. I am assuming there is some shared infrastructure there and simplified the process.

I'd love to see a write up about this from Apple engineers, but I know that probably won't happen.
See LNAV (https://lnav.org) for a "mini-ETL" CLI powertool with embedded SQLite; it's fantastic.
What's the problem there? If the code is there but not executed, and no data is sent to Google, is there any risk as a user?
Why Solana Won't Work
The Solana cryptocurrency has been hyped quite a bit recently (e.g. https://www.notboring.co/p/solana-summer) and has gained a lot in value. But it's fundamentally flawed. I'll explain:

People are like “Solana is the new NASDAQ because transactions are cheap!”. But NASDAQ is worth $31 billion. Solana is worth $22 billion right now and it’s not even 0.1% of NASDAQ’s activity.

More importantly, the token economics don't work. Since there are stablecoins and the network is composable you don’t need SOL to buy anything, you can use USD*. SOL is just fee collection and fees are small. So very little value and high risk that validating the network isn’t economical.

Happy to see if I'm missing something but seems to me that Solana fundamentally can't work.
I just released it yesterday, so almost no one is using it in prod (I bet there's a couple using it already).

But it's all SQLAlchemy underneath, the most wiidely used Python SQL library, with tons of years of usage, so that gives some safety.

And the test coverage is at 97%. I will release 0.1.0 once test coverage reaches 100% and I have the main docs I want there.

The only caveat with the version is upgrades, as, as of now, anything could change (probably I won't change anything, just add stuff). But you can solve it by pinning the version, writing tests, and upgrading the version only after tests pass.

The only other issue you might have is that you really want to do some very advanced trick with SQLAlchemy and in some way it's still not supported. In that case you might want to use SQLAlchemy directly for that model, you can mix SQLAlchemy and SQLModel (although I haven't documented that yet).
"Hey Siri, accuse me of something that will ruin my life and reputation even if I'm not guilty".
Let's not forget what the alternative is: this is about images that are uploaded on icloud anyway. The alternative is to upload the image in clear (or with ane encryption key that apple controls), and let apple run the CSAM filter on their servers.

Apple now has the ability to encrypt the images before sending them to icloud, with a private key you own. Except that some percentage of images that match the CSAM fingerprint with their neural feature extractor will be sent to a CSAM filter on the server side (whose workings we don't have many details about)

This whole thing backfired on Apple entirely due to psychological effects, not because they are really doing anything more "panopticon" that they would already able to do now on their icloud storage (after all people are ready sending their photos to apple)
The 20k in Germany are much much smaller. The big ones require more space and can be built in less places due to how gigantic they are. On the other hand, placing them at sea is great for having more wind. And the main objection to sea based wind energy so far is the cost of construction which with a smaller number of them could decrease.
