Only original DX7's, or also the DX7ii?

Opening up the DX7ii (and other synths from the same time) is a pain compared to the nice hinge construction you get on the original DX7.
I found the variety of complaints very interesting, from "actually, we don't need to stop using fossil fuels" and "what is this plant-based diet nonsense" but also "nuclear is better than you're saying it is".

Also interesting to note which country is making what complaint!
That is an incredibly poor take on top of a serious allegation, and sorry-not-sorry, it's clear you don't really care about poverty, racial disparities or ill health.

It takes very little empathy to realise that driving a car is a huge technical barrier compared to a wheelchair/scooter/just walking slower. There is no reason you need to be healthy to avoid car use... except one. That motorists will kill you if you don't quickly get of out their way. I've seen large parts of my local area become completely inaccessible to the less-abled because of fast roads, so can it with the "I'm thinking or the sick!". You're not.

Or to just go look at which cities are not color-coded into mansions and slums, and notice those cities are ones where the poor do not need to maintain their own expensive machinery for basic tasks. Because ... again, I don't believe I need to explain that. It's a deliberate choice you're making to not understand it.
Nitpick: it wasn't a compatibility layer. It was actually Windows 3.1 running in DOS. There was no emulation.
For me it would've been ok to work 6/5(better 6/4) for the rest of my life if it actually was something meaningful for the society, and if I had an opportunity to occasionally switch to smth different, and if i got a stable life for it. Even if i didn't like the job with all my heart

An activist organization that is so intransparent that I don't even get what they are activists for.

I have only ever recognized blog posts about interpersonal matters by them which are rather cringy and don't add anything to the preexisting matter. All about first world problems.

Do you happen to know what concrete and half effective activism they actually do?
I think in 10-15 years the majority of the market, laptop or otherwise, will still be x86.

For me what the M1 shows is not that x86 is dead and ARM is the future, or even that Intel or AMD are toast, it's that the days of the traditional socketed CPU and modular RAM are numbered.

10 years from now we'll all be using gigantic 32 core x86 SoC's with onboard RAM and GPU, and perhaps people on HN cheering on Apple now won't be when hobbiest PC building is a thing of the past.
I've worked at one of those "one service per team" and, boy it was the suckiest most incredibly stupid thing ever.

I needed a place to store marketing and PR templates that were completely unrelated to the core of our product.

Of course the rule was "one service per team", so the CTO demanded that I store it together with our service, which is the part that performs customer authentication. Meaning, the part that is responsible for securing customer data and everything else. Whenever we had auditors checking it they're puzzled as to why there's marketing material storage inside the auth microservice.

This could have been the poster-child example of a good place do have a separate service, but no, the law was the law.

It's almost as if there's no such thing as a silver bullet.

Eich is rather conservative, politically.

This feels less "hide pinterest" and more "further political divisiveness. by letting people hide news sources that don't match their worldview."

Galileo got in trouble for a combination of reasons.

1. His heliocentric theory wasn't noticeably better at explaining or predicting the motion of heavenly bodies than the geocentric theories such as the Ptolemaic system. Galileo, like the Church, believed in a universe that was intelligently designed by an all-powerful God, and he believed that the laws of physics that such a God would choose would be mathematically beautiful and elegant. If observation did not match beautiful and elegant rules, then he would dismiss the observation as error or optical illusion.

The Church's position was that God made the universe, and if empirical evidence from observing the universe showed it clearly working in ways that didn't fit what the Church believed the Bible said the mistake must be in the Church's interpretation of the Bible.

2. He had a big ego.

His genius brought him fame. He became a celebrity who was regularly invited to hang out with the rich and famous and powerful. His big ego really loved that.

3. He was an asshole.

He was rude and intolerant to those he saw as rivals or that he saw as his inferiors (which due to his big ego included pretty much everyone).

4. He had a poor sense of politics.

He failed to realize that some of those rivals or inferiors that he was a major asshole towards either had way more political power than he did or they had good connections to such people, and that they could wield that power to make his life miserable if he kept being a major asshole to them.

> People often focus on the actual amount of money they earn or spend, rather than its purchasing power

I'm not sure how true this is. I believe lots of people are aware of the fact that almost everything is getting more and more expensive and thus their dollars are buying them less, but what can the average American really do about it?

> Say you are a 30-year-old worker who plans to retire at age 70. You look at your projected retirement income and feel that $50,000 a year in income would be sufficient. But if that number isn’t adjusted for inflation—and many retirement calculators aren’t—an inflation rate of 3.6% a year (the inflation rate in August ) means that $50,000 would buy you only $12,150 worth of consumption at the time of retirement.

So what's the average 30 year-old worker to do? It's not easy for most workers to increase retirement savings, and the high inflation environment doesn't help.
You are right. But the article is still purposefully misleading. Ask yourself why they chose to lead with the big number of doses rather than the number of people vaccinated.
The answer is that it looks better, and gives the casual reader the impression that more has been done.
It requires extra brainwork to remember that for j&j 1 dose=1 complete vaccination; for pfizer 2 doses=1 complete vaccination; and so on.

I'm still using an X-series Thinkpad I bought used in 2011. I had another laptop in-between but it was one of these fancy modern machines with no replaceable parts and it turned out 4 GB RAM is not enough for basic tasks.
Which is a way weaker statement than what the parent implied.
> People in America were not stupid

I didn't say they were. I said they lacked writing. Writing preserves orders of magnitude more information for others than oral tradition possibly can.

Yes, I know the Mayans had writing, and their books were burned by the Spanish. But the Spanish conquered the Inca and the Aztecs, not the Mayans.

The ideas of recruiting the locals to your side, and divide and conquer, are part of western military tradition. If the Aztecs and Inca used such tactics, I'd be interested if you have sources.

There were battles that the Romans fought and won against the barbarian much greater numbers. That isn't going to happen without superior organization, discipline, training and tactics.

And finally, the Roman idea of conquest was to assimilate, not exterminate.

As mentioned in your other reply. Cerebras .

Wafer Scale Engine doesn't break the reticle limit, if you search for a picture on Cerebras, you can still clearly see the square die within the wafer. From a very high level overview, they are basically doing cross interconnect with each die on wafer. Scribe line used to be physical separation for each die, now they built interconnect on top so the whole wafer becomes a huge mesh of AI chip.

It works for because you can think of each die as lots of Neutral Engine and cache only. You can easily rework around each process defects and solve the yield problem. And then you have to solve packaging, power and cooling.

>Why can't Apple and others do the same/similar?

When you have a complex SoC. Not every defect can be worked around, that is why the larger the die the lower the yield. A reason why you see in GPU they fused off certain GPU core and Memory Controller. It isn't because of market segmentation, it is necessity coming from manufacturing. To avoid this they have chiplet. Making each part a small die and interconnect them together. But as mentioned, chiplet isn't a silver bullet. Your design must have chiplet in mind for interconnect with AMD Zen. You cant just dump two pieces of M1 Max together on the same interposer and expect it to work. They could, but it wouldn't be efficient. And that sort of defeat the purpose. An analogy would be asking the current AMD Ryzen APU, which is an SoC with GPU and Memory controller, you stick two of them together and somehow expect it to work 100% faster.

I don't think it's dishonest. It's easy to find areas where Chrome is ahead, and I haven't found one area (in security) where Firefox is ahead.

https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.ht...

If you ask most browser exploit researchers, this would probably be pretty much a consensus view. Very few of them that I know use Firefox.

> The real problem here is browser ever increasing scope. I never cared for VR or gaming in browsers. SPAs are user unfriendly garbage that I seldom see used for anything else than preventing user agency.

I don't care what Mozilla or the Safari team think I should be allowed to do in a web browser, I want to have the option of doing practically anything. I'm glad I can play Cyberpunk 2077 in a browser, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to, period (I don't have Windows). People complain that the web's prominence means every app uses Electron nowadays, but I'm glad I can run anything on Linux or Mac, and the "development costs" argument that kept apps Windows-only no longer applies. The web saved the desktop, it didn't ruin it. I view Google's Chrome web app push in the same vein as Steam's Proton. Decreased reliance on just 2 big, somewhat-dysfunctional vendors (Apple & Microsoft), to not be locked into a declining ecosystem.
Lot of words for something that does already exist (C# for instance requires the first character of an identifier to be a letter or underscore but then most Unicode characters can be used), implemented in a more generic way (not limited to only three alphabets).
I've dealt with this mindset almost daily, but replace weekend project with a small to medium (sometimes large) project.

when they fail, they do not unfortunaly learn humility and do not end up back at the start (jobs on the line).

but instead massively descope the project and add a layer of 'shineyness' to the old working system. and now the company has to keep some of the old system in place, thus creating a service with two systems with two different type of technology. (pita for BAU run teams)

rinse and repeat every 5-10 years and the service now becomes a monsterous complex system
Then again, sometimes it's even harder to take the "DRY nothing" out of them once they decide "DRY everything" was wrong but misunderstand why.

I mean, while the explanation above is nice, it's fairly easy for a junior to speed read through it as "DRY is a luxury [...] You should repeat yourself [...]" -ignoring all the parts that sound too complicated or nuanced- and quickly jump to the completely opposite conclusion.
Cars are definitely getting uglier. Compare the current Smart fortwo, which is horrible, to the cute original styling.

But ugly must sell, because I recently saw another non-Smart car that was essentially a clone, looks wise at least, of the current model. Why??
The opposite. Vaccination for any disease generally leads to shorter incubation periods in breakthrough cases, because your immune system reacts much more rapidly to the pathogen, and most early symptoms are your immune system doing its job.
I know, which is why I can't get into Twitter no matter how often I try. It is designed in a way where you either ignore a person or you get their entire unfiltered stream of consciousness.

During my time, the Mac line has switched CPUs three times, why would Apple not switch to RISC-V if that one is really so much better than ARM?
These are the options:

1. Vaccinate LOTS of people.

2. Accept that the hospitals are full of covid patients, so people who break a leg can't get a bed.

Option 2 isn't very desirable. It only took months to find some vaccines that make option 1 clearly better than option 2. (Some other vaccines failed, but you don't hear about those.)

Hey Google, great you can predict this in Google Sheets... Now how about going to Maps and fixing the Miles/Kilometres setting?

I'm sure there will be some truths spoken on Truth Social that don't get much airtime on other platforms, but it'll be thin on the ground and covered with a nice thick blanket of conspiracies, misinformation and hatred. The big question is: will this platform provide a decent mechanism for dealing with the inevitable disagreements? Will "outsiders" have the freedom to join the platform and disagree with the typical Trumpian view of the world? How will the platform handle such disagreement? Just like every other platform that uses moderation (banning/censorship)?

My problem with social media is that is all about centering the user and letting them feel important and socially connected. You end up with a billion fools, with their carefully chosen avatars and third-person personas, shouting into the void, desperate for acknowledgement and esteem. And like any addictive system, the social platform provides just enough constant feedback to keep them there. It will entice them to agree with and regurgitate any opinion that their social bubble approves of. And along with the fools who clap, other fools will boo. And we all love a good old scrap when we've got our own gang backing us up!

Most social media platforms are toxic. They all want to be addictive, so they all have these same "flaws". They don't allow for progress. At one point I was an avid Redditor, but I was once part of a subreddit that for canned very unfairly, and with zero opportunity for appeal. It simply found itself with a percentage of its followers not believing a certain prevailing dogma. Systems like this don't allow for human progress. You just get billions of people shouting the same handful of ideas all the time. People from different sides no longer have to bother with tedious definitions, logic or proofs. Opinions are getting more polarised, and people are less tolerant to those outside their bubble. We're now in a situation where college graduates in first-world countries don't believe that the earth is round, that vaccines work, or that biological sex is actually a thing.

Honestly, I'd prefer to see a purpose-built debating platform taken to new heights. Unfortunately it wouldn't be a success because it wouldn't be designed to addict the masses. It wouldn't give everybody their 10 minutes of self importance on the soap box, and drip-fed feelgoods, and righteous anger at the enemy. Instead, people would be interacting with a system that has advanced text analysis, detecting bad definitions, spellings, grammar, logic and attitude. Progress in a given debate would be slow and tedious and definitely not for everyone's taste. But imagine any debate you like, conducted in this manner! One week in you would have a two-way conversation that could be followed by any layperson, catching them up with term definitions and the key points of disagreement. Add to that some type of overlay that allows users to weigh up the relative values of each argument using a variety of philosophical lenses.
As people talk about below-average programmers, here's a lesson I learned: you can finish a project even with below-average programmers. You do not rely on the best ones. Not-the-best programmers are also capable of learning, and they usually improve, and they do deliver.

Also, even the best programmer will make really stupid mistakes that may break everything.

Also, the best programmers in your team are prone to starting a fight over BS, because they tend to have a very strong opinion.

It's too simplistic to want only the best programmers in your team.
It still removes a serious obstacle to getting a blob free cpu where user can have control over what it does. The ISA is no more a "magic sauce" to be protected and patented and therefore hidden behind closed source.
Tesla gives tours, and frequently discusses optimizations in reduced part counts, design tweaks for manufacturing, etc. I'd think someone with some expertise could tell if Tesla's claims are true.

Some highlights: front 3rd of chassis is one piece, rear 3rd of chassis is one piece, the glass roof is a huge piece and before that's installed things can be installed by robot (steering wheel, dash, seats, etc). Many things are radically simpler, like the interior, dash is basically a aluminum bar the width of the car with an arm for a 15" monitor. Even the ventilation system is simple, few parts, and easy to install. Most cars spend quite a bit of complexity for gauges, displays, buttons, vent controls, temp control, fan control, fans, emergency brake, air valves, etc.

Monroe on youtube (engineer with significant experience, used to work at Ford) took apart an early model 3 and wasn't impressed, didn't recommend it, and called out many details that were expensive, labor intensive, etc. He did a new model 3 and model Y and left quite impressed. Many innovative changes to make things easier to produce, cheap to reduce, reduced parts counts, etc. Monroe claims tesla is iterating their production faster than anyone else he's looked at, and he's looked at a very wide variety of cars (and other products for that matter).

Monroe also reviewed the VW ID.4 and left quite under impressed. Ironically he didn't expect much from the Ford Mach E, but was very pleasantly surprised to see innovative engineering, impressive design, and overall was quite impressed. Although he was horrified by the complexity of the cooling system and has serious doubts about it's long term reliability.
I'd rather not have to chose between two broken systems.
I don't believe choice is good in this case. I don't think it's good that we can whitelist or blacklist parts of the world from ever entering our minds.
Sure, there are lots of places that I know of, that I don't visit because I find them offensive. But sometimes they show up anyway, and while I most often won't agree with their views, I appreciate being reminded that they exist.

> If you’re thinking about seeing escorts

If you're thinking about seeing escorts, you better talk to your close male friends so they can talk you out of it. Work on yourself, and start asking normal women out. Yes, I know that's "scary" but that's how your parents met... (unless your mother is a whore!)

There's a saying which was borne out of experience - "once a whore, always a whore". I actually know of one such case personally. Basically, once a woman tries out whoring and sees the amount of money she can make, any other job where you actually have to put in the effort pales in comparison. So when times get rough, she will go back to whoring. I don't blame them, $200+/hr beats most skilled jobs out there and all you have to do is fake being nice and spread your legs.

I don't get the so called "progressive" people here that are cheering for this kind of self-degradation and dress it up as pity for the poor "oppressed" woman. Leftists will never "blame the victim", it's always some externality that is to blame for a person's woes. Where is personal responsibility? Where is dignity? Making an effort to earn an honest living?

As one commenter here said: "If a woman is poor, struggling to survive or trying to give a child a decent life in a society and economic system that is very sink or swim ...". Why are we are supposed to respect her choice? Why is she even a single-mom in the first place? What about all the other poor women who work 2 jobs? Are they just suckers? Is the poor woman working 2 jobs making a morally equivalent choice as the poor woman who becomes a whore? I don't think so.

I've also seen weird analogies claiming that whoring (renting out your body for money) is just like physical labor, which is fscking insane. How is being sexually penetrated by a stranger, ejaculated on, etc... anything like a man doing manual labor? This kind of abstraction does away with the actual differences on purpose - it's nothing more than a rhetorical trick.
