> I still don't get why lenovo still provides _soldered_ ram at all on the T/P series machines

Cynical take: so you buy it, then realize it's soldered, then buy another computer?

> But what I really want to know is where the full bios manual is, so that I can see if its possible to enable S3 standby.

Some Lenovo laptops that come with Windows have a "Sleep State" option that you can switch from "Windows 10" to "Linux", which I think is what disables Modern Standby? I've seen C3 be enabled by one of the options on a recent Lenovo, I think it was probably that setting.

IPhone 13 chips are on back order. I would love a Max Pro, but it I think it is going to take some time to reach market.
For now the biggest problem with modern laptops is the small amount of RAM - most limited by 16Gb. In the age of Docker, virtual machines, Electron applications and heavy Web applications this amount is quickly insufficient.
It's unfortunate. I was hoping the notch will go away on next generations of iPhone, but it seems Apple has decided to keep it as a "feature" of its brand.
Sure, you're going through six degrees of color reproduction, my purpose was primarily to illustrate that I did not see mistaking the color of a tomato for an orange as likely in my case.
Well, no, in China it's in the name of socialism - of the prosperity and well-being of the less well off. How true that is is not really up for personal interpretation - it's just false. (Of course, one could argue the same about the US...)
I think one of the many reasons so many side projects are never finished is the complexity.

Its important to focus on a MVP and keep it minimal.

In the development there are always great ideas but they lead away from finishing the project.
I think I agree with your argument, directionally, but in the case of the C++ hacker, might it be the case that he needed to find a different role, job, and/or manager to really leverage the power of a 98%tile C++ programmer?
There are multiple pay to play online games with a monthly fee, especially in the MMORPG sphere.

Others sell loot boxes or cosmetic stuff, even games that cost you money both when buying the game and when renewing your monthly subscription.

A Blockchain wouldn't give them any benefit over what they already have. In fact they would lose control over some stuff while bot farms and criminals would make a lot of money with almost no oversight.

>A large number of Americans will be in the top 10% by income at some point during their life.

If, "by a large number," you mean 10%, then you're right.

Edit: Upon reflection, my comment was both flip and inaccurate. In sum, I was talking out of my ass. Phew! That stinks. My bad.
I never understood this argument. In what kind of shop are you working that passing a string named person to a method expecting an object is tolerated. Or even passing different types that don't share a common interface.

This would never fly in a code review in any of the companies I've worked for.
>you should not anthropomorphize algorithms as human cognition does not give any bearing on how algorithms work

I disagree. As an ML engineer I see vast parallels between how neural networks essentially parameterize high dimensional joint probability distributions, and how humans reason about the world. Including the learning phase. Through gradual exposure to data, it seems humans and deep nets are both mapping examples to similar topological representations - as evidenced by, for example, totally accidental learning of token arithmetic by large language models, e.g. king + female = queen. I think this humanlike behavior is effectively a form of rudimentary machine reasoning and it makes me rather hopeful that we have stumbled upon the early components of general artificial intelligence.

All of human reasoning can be emulated with complex joint probability distributions. Even emotions boil down to heuristics on these same probabilistic relationships. Though artificial neurons and learning are only very loose approximations of biological neurons and the hebbian principle, I think it's clear at this point that the way that neural networks compress information is already quite humanlike; and furthermore I would hazard a guess that this similarity is a profound manifestation of the nature of information in our reality.
I am for open standards and accessible apis and support companies that provide those things. Netflix neither promised or delivered those things and it's extra work to maintain them. They don't owe anyone to maintain backwards compatibility on the undocumented public facing apis.

It's unreasonable to expect Netflix to deliver a feature that they have no interest in providing and never promised to.

I use a lot of software that relies on apis like that and it breaks constantly, that's just the way it goes.

Tell me what the limiting factor in creating wealth is then?

I said it is immoral and that we have moral options that work. Or you think wealth can not be created?
That's why I highlighted this boneheaded move by Lenovo prominently in the article and also blasted them for it.

Vendors do not cover shrinkage, except for the rare items sold on consignment. Shrinkage losses are either absorbed by the store or handled by insurance.
You don’t have to go back to the 40s for an example. Plenty of unpaid work that benefits society is done today by Americans, including raising children, caring for the elderly, volunteering at a soup kitchen, and even getting an education.

Honestly it always surprises me to hear this on HN, the idea that work isn’t being done unless it’s generating dollar value for someone. What is open source coding then? Not work because it’s not done under the purview of an employer for a salary? Not valuable because no one gave you a dollar for it?
Yes, and when that ecosystem discovers these obvious facts, the discovery is always described as a "journey" in the accompanying blog post. Having sense and good taste at the beginning of a project doesn't warrant a blog post but slowly stumbling over isolated aspects of good taste, now that's a journey.
I just discovered last week that on the Apple TV I can connect 2 apple audio devices at the same time.

Currently staying with the in laws, daughter is sleeping in the same room with us so we couldn’t watch TV.

I connected my wife’s AirPods to the Apple TV to watch tv and noticed I could connect another one, so I borrowed my sister in laws AirPods and connected them and both work at the same time. So now we can watch TV together when daughter is asleep.

It only works with apple audio devices, so looks like I’ll pick up some new AirPods for myself!

Edit: contacted > connected
What I am really looking for in Qube is when the window of Windows VM gets minimized, it performs a CPU suspend, preferably within its VM.

No need for chatty telemetry at Windows and app level in the background.
Programming is sufficiently complex field that we can find examples when the opposite things are the best: it depends on context whether you need more or less types.
After using TypeScript for even a little bit I find it painful to go back to JavaScript for anything more complex than white-boarding.
So basically apple just went back to the things they tried to fix that weren't broken and then messed up the aesthetics by making it a design from 2010 and added a notch. Why do they do this. Does the design team not understand how to design macbook pros ?
PHP's programming model definitely should remind you of CGI, because it was a CGI module: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP#Early_history

Their answer to everything these days seems to be centered on blockchain...
M1 pro and max are very likely the fastest consumer CPUs in the world, despite being stuck in a 30-40w power envelope. Apple is embarrassing AMD and Intel engineers right now.
Of course it can be done. It has been many times.
You're right that the "ebb and flow" on wealth is much less of a factor than on income, and that I conflated those two.

But not controlling for age is still a major omission. A lot of middle class people are in the top 10% as they near retirement because they've been saving throughout their life. How many? The article doesn't say.
This. I keep seeing numbers like this article that simply make no sense when you look at the pension fund (and some other such institutional investors) capitalization vs total market capitalization.

Different people see things differently. Pixels may not be individually resolvable, but that is far from the only feature that impacts viewing quality. Anti-aliased fonts will look clearer and smoother at smaller sizes on a higher resolution screen. Lines will be sharper. Those with better near vision can pack more details into the page.
I wish Outlook would have a rule parameter to identify any emails older than X days. You could pair that with read or not read and just move them to a folder or archive.
This has always been the thing to watch for me -- performance on its own hasn't been equivalent to "best of the best" (one of these new laptops isn't going to be beating a 3090), but what they're doing is being done in such a smaller thermal envelope that nothing really compares.
>how many of them get to the top 20%, how many more get to the top 30%? in other words, there's no need to be the best basketball player to succeed in life.

A fine thought. Though in a world of increasing inequality (Gini coefficient, etc), the "winner takes all" dynamic makes it more and more necessary to actually be "the best basketball player to succeed in life."
Thanks for sharing that list, it definitely challenged some of my preconceptions. As someone who watched The Closer and didn't think it went too far, I think most would agree that there should be some fixed line to judge what goes too far and shouldn't be on their platform. It's sad that this line doesn't seem to be determined by any principles -- or at least any explicit principles. These 2 examples make me think the "principles" being followed are 1) Money, and 2) PR/current events (George Floyd protests in the case of removing episodes with blackface).

My point is that all methods and techniques probably have worked for someone doing something.

And I should have leaned in on how much is still left to implementation in terms of "shed." From weather, to what is being stored. It isn't like there is a universal shed design that will make everyone happy.

Nor is this saying that some things aren't truly valuable. Just recognize that some places they don't help as much as you would like. This isn't saying they are bad or worthless. Just acknowledging that they are oversold.
All these laptops I mentioned in the article can go up to 32GB, and two of them up to 48GB (albeit with unbalanced SODIMMs).
Absolutely not. 10% would be the bare minimum, by definition.
"Disrupting" health care would involve the federal and state governments massively deregulating health care and insurance so that a private, free market could actually exist. Disruption/competition are quite literally illegal as it stands.

> And it's not like we're talking about removing private health care entirely -- if that's what you're scared about?

I'm personally concerned with the 50 Stalins sort of sentiment surrounding health care. We legislated the current system into existence and its outcomes are perfectly predictable. Why not fix the causes instead of trying to legislative more effects and doubling down on government interference yet again?
Is there a map somewhere that illustrates areas with different water availability? I don't think average rainfall is quite the metric as places like Michigan have access to the Great Lakes. I'd want to compare places with low or high natural water.
The key thing is that health care is very uneven and unpredictable in the US, in my experience. I have called my primary doctor and gotten a referral the same day to a specialist. I have also waited 3 weeks to get a referral, and another 3 weeks for an actual appointment.

If you want to know what truly excellent health care is like, visit Mayo Clinic. Because of the concentration of doctors in one location, I saw around 12 doctors in a week. That would have taken a year or more through the regular medical system.
This is an important distinction that some get fooled by. It's the same physical size when scales but is substantially more crisp

If you think X amount of poor people should not exist in the future then you must also think X amount of poor people should not exist in any other time period. Or do you think somehow it was a good thing to be poor in the past but now is bad?

The reality is that if you go back far enough your ancestors were poor by modern standards, and if someone have done what you want to do to the poor today you wouldn't exist.

Do any deep learning frameworks even have metal support? I could see inference working well on these laptops but they lack so much of the specialized hardware I'd be surprised if training was even possible for most useable models.
That's great, but it's a Rust library, which would be nice to use from Rust, without going through a C FFI layer for the sole purpose of license compliance.

It feels like the Rust ecosystem is a second class citizen due to this license. The GPL or MPL would at least enforce the same rules for everyone, but the LGPL gives a relative advantage to the C and C++ ecosystem over the Rust ecosystem in terms of actually using the library.
The main argument for dynamic typing is speed in prototyping but I find that's opposite for me. I'm much more comfortable rapid prototyping and ripping stuff apart when I have a strongly static typed environment telling me what I just broke.

Doing radical refactoring often involves just making those changes and then fixing all the IDE or compiler errors until it runs again.

the thing is though, that many municipalities are using vaccination rates as their sole or primary metric for predicting case loads. and if thats the case then this study basically invalidates that metric.
We believe in reducing to a minimum the friction to get started. So, I seriously doubt that we will ever have a paywall to get going.

In fact, it's more likely that we double-down on free access going forward: the revenue comes (and will continue to come) from those that need more. When you need "more", you're typically willing & happy to pay for it. Pretty much as simple as that :-)
So you've seen the wealth gap graphic, where they slice it up into deciles? Further into percentages?

It's wrong, it doesn't account for debt. There should be a huge mass of people that are net negative. I think we're really presented with all the wrong information.

First we need to break down into a heat map of CoL which can act as an approximation of demand for the given region. Then we need to look at individual median (perhaps modal) cash flow, where your deciles land, and whether that's translating into profit when you calculate in inflationary pressures. Then you've got to look at average degrees of freedom given demographics like no-diploma, GED/equivalent, HS-diploma, and degree strata that indicate an upward move in purely economic terms. I think what you'd find is the vast majority of people are just on the treadmill, and will for the foreseeable future there remain.

I expect the median net worth (what's the method?) of a 35 year old is very much in the negative space. And I'd hope over a lifetime that the 65-74 cohort is breakeven - which is about what you've indicated - Zillow indicates the average value of a house is $264k.

To some extent this is how our system is designed to work, but the system itself is predicated on a slew of fallacious logic and wholly removed from any semblance of morality while dually being totally unaccountable for the destruction and extraction of value that it is founded on.

I should also add that power as a function of wealth had ought to be looked at. What is the effective cost of having a voice in policy? I suspect it's in the highest echelons of net worth that you can even begin thinking about leveraging the system, and locally at that. At which point, corporate personhood might had ought to be considered, how does that deform our distribution?
Wait, what notch? Do the processors have notches now?
I don't understand why people still waste so much money on making some perfect search engine when they can just filter on tags. Every retail product sales website in the world works by filtering on tags, not deciphering search terms in the "right" way.

Want black shoes? I could search for "black shoes", and receive shoes with the brand/product name "Black". Or I could select 'category: shoes' and 'color: black' in the drop-down box. Hey, look, now I have a list of black shoes.

Everything they’ve said about the new MacBook Pros is extremely promising, but they had to add a notch to the screen. Just why? All for the sake of reducing the top screen border by a couple of millimeters.
You have now some with 3k resolution, 16:10 ratio.

I hope we get to see more of those.
The notch gets a "meh" from me. I mostly use my MBP with everything in fullscreen and a hidden menubar. However, this does come with a thinner bezel and extends the screen into that bezel space so it's kind of a wash. It still beats the 1.5" top bezel (with the camera) on my work laptops (HPs).

>Payroll taxes are paid by the employer.

Half of payroll taxes are paid by the employer. The other half are paid by the employee.

And if the employer wasn't paying that half, they might pay at least some portion of that to the employee. And employers don't pay any payroll tax for non-employees.

It did have a "measure twice, cut once" mastery of the obvious. Of note, the one word he did not use: persistence, and I will demonstrate it in my own sort of fluffy presentation (and in much fewer words):

There's a certain number of modest side projects one must complete to end up with the breakaway project that leads to financial independence. I can't tell you what that number is, but it does exists and if you fail that many times, you will eventually get there. Or die first.
There’s no arguing with someone who’s a communist after 1991.

It’s morally and intellectually equivalent to neo-Nazism.

I suppose the Nazis were defeated in 1945, and the bulk of the Communists in 1991, so maybe we just need a few more decades for the cancer to die out.
I feel the same way but wonder if I'm right when the majority of jobs are JS and Python.
I use Xen, with a Debian Dom0. You can provision a new VM in about a minute.

The commandline tools are not very obvious, and they have scores of subcommands. But it's all scriptable, so you can easily have a CI system spin-up and tear-down VMs. You can hot-copy a VM from one physical machine to another, which is neat for maintenance. It's super-lightweight, but I'd say Xen is a bit nerdy for many people.
I recently re-installed Morrowind and played it through OpenMW. It was a great experience. It was certainly more stable than I remember the original being, having never crashed once in my play-through. I think the main thing that might hold some back still is the ability to support Morrowind Script Extender mods.

If you're interested in modding it, there are some good guides on compatible mods and curated mod lists at https://modding-openmw.com
