Only if the software is published for ARM. See my other reply in this thread - you may be stuck using some older software that was never published for ARM, so while you can get it working, it may be on you to backport fixes and compile packages to build a new image yourself.

It can absolutely be done, though. It's just not necessarily as simple as "install the ARM one".
Not "warm", because with fusion filling this cache, energy usage wouldn't lead to CO2 pollution. They're suggesting it would lead to increases in consumption which means waste. Notwithstanding that a) life won't necessarily get more affordable for people, and stuff costs money, b) there are innovations now, and expected in the future, which would drastically curtail waste, though some regulatory measures might be necessary to do better with this.

So I'm also skeptical.
This might be good for a personal blog where you have it local on your machine, but want a blogging interface that's separate from your coding tool (VSCode, etc).

The problem is that if you have to pull down the site to edit content, it defeats like 99% of the use cases of a CMS. The whole point of a CMS is to provide an interface for editing a website without editing code directly and not having the code on locally to make edits.
They are right, but people really hate to give out their real phone number - especially since they get leaked this way and then abused, so in the end they have the bot problem.
It's absolutely declined, no question. Further, the advanced search tools have been all but eviscerated, so it's even more difficult to find what you want even if you know what you're looking for.
Yes, but that applies to pretty much every computer PC based devs use as well, there are much cheaper laptops than most of the "developer" target Dell laptops as well. Hell, I bet I can get an old 486 off eBay that could do most of the same tasks, by your rules.

Doing it in less time, or without needing to have a wall socket, etc matters, and has value.

Of course in terms of value proposition there's a question: that's why we're asking why it's not on the review sites being compared to other laptops. Otherwise we're stuck with "it benchmarks faster and lasts longer on battery" anecdata.
My guess is that the files are not truly embedded as it would require to load the entire file in memory before running the application, which seems wasteful.

More likely, the actual executable is only a small part of the file which accesses the rest of the file as an archive, like a self-extracting zip. There may also be some DRM trickery going on.
This isn't the first time Twitter users' PII is on for sale [0]. I think it's legitimate to badmouth this company because—other than their popularity—there's no redeeming quality but a terrible reputation and a massive toxicity and lack of (real) moderation problem. People who like to dox others will have a lot of fun with this database, regardless. And another point in favor of mandatory phone number based verification for online websites, I wonder how long it'll take for us to get past it, a privacy threat for clueless users and a trivial obstacle for bad actors.

Footballers in Brazil mostly come from a poorer background where red meat is not that much available. Rice, beans, various kinds of flour are what they will eat everyday; eggs are probably the most consumed protein alongside those staple dishes
Also, note the origin story of the complex numbers:

Contrary to legend, they weren't discovered out of a desire by mathematicians to have roots to all quadratics such as x^2 + 1 = 0. It's perfectly sensible for an equation like that to just lack a solution: this just means the standard parabola never drops below zero. Analogously, if we calculate a rocket's payload mass to Low Earth Orbit and the answer is negative, we don't feel a need to find some deep meaning behind negative mass: we just say the rocket can't get to orbit at all. Simple.

It's cubics for which complex numbers were introduced. Cubics (with real coefficients), unlike quadratics, always have real roots, since one arm goes to +∞ and the other to -∞, so it has to cross the x axis somewhere in between. But when the cubic formula was finally discovered, it had this strange property that you frequently had to take square roots of negative numbers, then add those weird square roots to "regular" numbers, and if you just shut up and calculated, the weird parts would always cancel out and you'd get a "regular" number that solved the original equation. That is, you had to pass through the complex numbers in order to find the real solutions.
I always used to think there was something magic about these formats (like, only really smart people would design a new format, and my custom csv was somehow ‘less’ than other formats), but now I’m older and I find that it’s just a bunch of files concatenated together to make a new one.

The magic is lost, but I feel a lot better about myself :)
Stop Using “Real Time” Wrong
Assuming https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-laptops/ is the article being referred to, then the first section is what OS (with choices between Windows, MacOS, ChromeOS, with MacOS kinda being recommended), and a whole section on which Apple laptop to get.
They obviously aren't profitable right now since they're working on two megaprojects simultaneously, but the Falcon 9 program is obviously profitable and clearly successful given their flight rate and economics.
Everything is possible but at what cost?!
I would! I want to do the california zephyr. But hard to poney up just for a scenic ride when the cars aren't even very nice and cost more than a flight in some cases.

Seems like the problem though is Mr Buffet's rail monopoly? Maybe if the Govt got a right of way...
It won't be too high by the time it hits your intestines. It'll be absorbed and excreted in the urine.
> However I disagree that this is a good reason for surveillance

To be clear, I never made this argument.
From the viewpoint of a utility, what matters is not large accidents (because their liability is capped) but rather smaller accidents that could ruin their investment. The TMI accident didn't kill anyone, but it gravely damaged the owner of the power plant, as they had just lost a large investment.

Because of this, fusion is likely WORSE from the utility's point of view than fission. While fusion reactors are less likely to have catastrophic accidents with large external effects, they are probably more likely to have localized accidents that ruin the reactor. In any case, a fusion reactor will have to be designed to be extremely reliable because repairing it after any accident will be so difficult, as it will be too radioactive for anyone to get in to repair it. All repairs will have to be done remotely.
One reason many well-meaning security teams want mobiles is that phone numbers "cost" money for (most) attackers to create but do not create much additional burden for (most) legitimate users.

In a sense they are used as a kind of "hashcash" to raise the cost of fake accounts.

You can improve privacy by one-way transforming the number in a way your systems can't undo (eg hmac with a key in hsm configured for enc only, with rate limiting), but naively you lose agility and some useful capability (eg ban accounts with numbers from this range).
There’s a wide segment of users (50-75% ??) that could simply use Chromebooks ( I buy then for my parents). People can use them easily. Switching to a Mac is not so easy, because EVERYTHING is different ( but everyone knows how to use a browser)

If you are a PC gamer by definition a Mac will not work for you.

For those of us with high end needs and can run on Macs (devs, etc) then of course the perf comparison is valid.

But everyone is not us (devs, etc)

This is a strange article. I think many review sites have split the reviews into best iPhone/best android and best Mac/best windows laptop as there is simply no point in trying to convert people from their religion.

To my original point, the one area Apple can’t (won’t) compete is on price. Not everyone needs an expensive super thin laptop. Some people can spend $500 and get exactly what they need in a laptop.
I mean, H1-B workers are called immigrants by the USCIS as well. But they call themselves expats.
Exactly. The author misunderstood the real reason of his rejection.
Linux x86 32-Bit Is Vulnerable to Retbleed but Don't Expect It to Get Fixed
Most of SpaceX's funding as well as most of their launches are private.
That's not my point.

My point is that there are plenty of leftwing denials as well, and that singling out Fox News is such a cliched, partisan-reveal.
Ask HN: Re-learn home row/proper/more ergonomic typing fundamentals?
I have a weird claw-type typing method where I use the majority of my left hand and mostly my thumb/pointer on my right hand. I have a solid WPM and low error rate but one thing I was informed was that I am very heavy on my key presses, even with a mechanical keyboard (Cherry MX Browns).

Has anyone successfully re-molded their typing habits to be a bit more ergonomic?
This shocking factlet is repeated, verified, and credited to you in the writeup in my sibling comment.
"an inconvenient truth" predates Gore's movie of that title.
Thank you. This is the entire argument I was trying to make. I think people are getting confused because I'm talking about how people feel rather than talking about explicit facts. That how people feel about a government body can be very different than how that government body actually acts, and recognizing both is extremely important.
Trying to justify not letting people do what they can to protect their phone number on an article about a data breach that leaked phone numbers - yeah, you're gonna get downvoted.
If you drink a can every two days, great.

If you get a personalized gallon sized mug with a straw filled with diet soda every day to work and are also already morbidly obese, maybe the drink won’t help.

The second statement I’ve seen so many times in Texas :(
By expensive, I mean in $/kWh - yes we could build enough nuclear power plants to stop carbon emissions, but if the cost of energy is multiple times greater than that of renewables, why not invest in those instead?

I've heard this idea that we should "do everything", but I don't get that, why don't we do the best thing as well and as fast as we can?
Only if we never use fast reactors, which fission almost all the long-lived stuff. Take what's left, encase it in glass and bury it, and it'll be back to the radioactivity of the original ore in 300 years.
His departure is likely 95% parenthood related as he suggests. It’s a time you can never relive and I encourage folks to take time off to enjoy it. I worked too much and I have regrets.

So 95% parenthood - and maybe 5% ish the fact all companies are getting hammered on valuations / stock and we are heading into a recession. The time when we could use good strong leadership the most is also the time leaders take a break. So 95% parenthood… and 5% “the economy” perhaps.
Is Xcode really the IDE you want to be brining up as proof of Mac superiority?
I wouldn't throw away two years of work to get a degree from a #1 college vs a #10 college. Might be a better use of time to finish at the #10 college and try to get admitted for a masters degree at #1 college if in two more years you still want to stay for two more years.

I don't know which country you're talking about, but I'd be really surprised if nothing transfered between two top universities in the US, so I'm kind of surprised that would be the case anywhere else.

As others have said, the age isn't really a big deal though. If you had something else going on, and were just starting college at 20, no problem.
Fission reactors can be easier than fusion reactors, and still go over time and hugely over budget. This just means fusion reactors are likely to also go over time and budget.
Sounds like federation might be making a comeback eventually
Using Lightweight Formal Methods (2021)
It's worth mentioning that being a theoretical physicist working in a niche subfield doesn't necessarily qualify you to talk broadly about other fields and assess their societal impacts. I think these types of videos work best when it's clearly just a smart person sharing what they've learned to engage your interest rather than as a substitute for a lecture by an expert.
Impossible to use. I’ve started adding “ Reddit” to my searches but even now that’s not working as well as it did.
Flag it. Flag every submarine ad on Hacker News. It'd be a boon for the site if it treated every positive article from companies with marketing budgets as astroturfing until proven otherwise. Same goes for political articles. And anyone caught at any time trying to game the system. Just blanket deleted for a set period of time. Offend again? Longer time. Third time? You're done. Forever.

The main page would only be cool projects and interesting tech news, instead of flame wars by confused people who think Apple and the rest of FAANG are a football teams. There's literally no downside.
Isn’t it mostly that the structure of content on the web has changed? It's mostly centralized social media now, so that's where the most relevant results are going to be. Most of the attention is there, anyway.

Thanks, that’s helpful- and I agree with you that the time and energy required to learn a new OS is a big investment for users who are comfortable with what they have.

But, it sounds like you and I land on two different sides of this. Your point seems to be that other OS machines shouldn’t be included because of that significant entry barrier, and my point is that if the review is being presented as a comparison of the best hardware options, then it’s not accurate to eliminate MacOS machines on the basis of software. I’d sooner see reviews either (a) compare exclusively same-OS machines and say so, or (b) disclaim that users might face that bigger entry barrier, but show the comparison and leave the decision of whether learning a new OS would be worth it to the reader
Most Americans would probably not feel safe biking for their commute. Our bike infrastructure is patchy and insufficient to provide sufficient separation and protection from massive speeding tons of steel.
It depends upon your target market. For many people, an Apple computer is a PC. They run the same, or very similar, applications to get the same job done. Very few computer users are going to care if that PC is based upon ARM or x86. The only reason why most computer users care about the operating system is due to application support, familiarity of the user interface, or perceived reliability.

For various reasons, I am firmly in the x86 camp. On the other hand, there is a very good reason to compare apples to oranges: for a good number of people a fruit is a fruit, but the flavour still matters.

Then there are the oddballs who used to install oranges into apples to get the best of both worlds. (Historical tid-bit, Orange Micro used to make PC compatibility cards for Macintosh computers.)
So France isn't a democracy? In a democracy, minorities have rights, but they don't have an infinite veto.

As someone else says, "People object to living next to the airport. They object to new roads. They object to schools being built, rail lines, bus stops, even hospitals."

Where I live, the old Orchard Supply store is being turned into a Costco. There are people objecting to that, too.
How does the compiler know if an array is a string or not?
It's not all that controversial to me. It's simple and it's been around for decades at least: put all employees in a big bell curve, fire one end and promote the other, try to raise motivation and productivity for everyone else, until the next performance review cycle.

Everyone with some sense should hate that, though.
There’s been some debate about this here on HN and someone made a point that resonated with me:

The quality of _the web_ has been in decline lately.

With ML’s capacity to paraphrase original content and to generate plausible rubbish content from scratch, it’s very difficult for Google’s pagerank (or whatever they call their algo these days) to fight back.

That been said, there does seem to be a fair bit of scraping and paste going on. I’m surprised G is not looking at published dates and lowering the the scammers ranking.
Install 7Zip. It is $CurrentYear after all.
If you’re from the field the only crucial pieces of info you need from a paper would be the abstract and materials section. You can pretty much impute everything else at least to replicate the work. So maybe that’s the reason.
Hmm I suspect that this isn't accurate but if it is, also relevant is that in the last 12 months we were at the top of the crazy money market so people were handing out cash and desperate for something with a seeming return to it. Seems like a click-baity title to me.
They've given up on fast reactors. Reprocessing with thermal reactors doesn't actually solve the problem, as MOX fuel cannot then be further reprocessed and used in thermal reactors again. You still end up with all the fission products, and now the higher actinides from spent MOX, to deal with.

Having said that, dry casks are a perfectly cromulent way to deal with spent fuel.
I’m still using an original, generation 1 iPhone as a music player. Not only does it still work, but it has a better UI and the icons look different from each other.

Apple stuff in my experience breaks either in the first few months, or at least 5 years out of warranty (except for the thin keyboards, but I avoided those defective designs).
Cool? I mean sure, if when you're picking out a computer it's because you're going to run some variant of Linux/BSD on it then yeah, that's relevant. Or if you have specific Software needs that only run on Windows, macOS, or Linux then that's the decision made. But if you're just looking for a general purpose computer then they're absolutely competitors since the list of popular software that's macos/windows exclusive is small.

And if the argument is "well if you don't have high-performance needs and you're just <pejorative about what people use computers for> then why does it matter" the answer is because the battery life is incredible and the thing is unbelievably snappy and responsive.
A monthly transit pass is essentially a bulk usage discount.
Large media outlets are dying and this article is more proof of that. The premise seems to be that Wallgreens caused a drug problem, and then that drug problem caused other problems. Well, SF is notorious for having a very lenient attitude towards drugs, drug addicts, and public use of drugs. I'm not sure if it still happens, but they were giving free needles and other amenities that help you get high for recreational purposes.

This article is just hard to believe, and should be obvious for anyone that lived in SF. This leads me to think that these types of media outlets are getting some extra incentive... and that's why large media is so hard to trust. It stinks of having an agenda.
The core issue of CICO as you pointed out is that it's a truism that ignores key aspects of a diet that usually come with a restriction in caloric intake - hunger can lead to poor food choices (decrease in TEF) and leads to lethargy (decrease in NEAT) which can account for up to 500 kcal/day (don't quote me on this, just trying to remember the papers I had read a long time ago) and completely negate the dieting effort. That's not even accounting the approximations of CI.
A friend’s father who was a manager at a giant US conglomerate in the 1960’s and 1970’s did have this to say about stack ranking — they were more willing to take a chance hiring someone from a non traditional background or with a weak resume but good interpersonal skills. Often times it wouldn’t work out but occasionally they might find a diamond in the rough, but they’d be willing to take the chance because they knew they’d be getting rid of people anyway.
Not if you’re increasing spending simply to lower out of pocket costs to $0.
> but if the cost of energy is multiple times greater than that of renewables, why not invest in those instead?

First of all, we are investing more in renewables right now than nuclear. Much much more.

Second of all, your statement is true for LCOE, but LCOE is an inappropriate metric for systems costs. It does not include the cost of storage, additional transmission lines to reach thousands of distributed wind/solar sites, extra capacity to fill up the storage, the required smart grid tech, etc.

Quoting just LCOE is becoming extremely problematic. Everyone does it, and it's very misleading.

Details of why it's best to also invest in nuclear from a full systems perspective are published and peer reviewed here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2018.08.006
I lost both of my shoulders in an accident a long time ago. Couldn’t even drive for 9 months and years of pt.

Putting my hands together on a regular keyboard wasn’t possible. I bought a split keyboard where I could move them as far apart as I needed and it worked great.

One minor problem - I found that after all these years I’ve been using the wrong fingers on a few keys. Oh the pain it was to break that habit - but I did and I feel like I’m faster and better for it.

Long story short - break your shoulders and it will probably work out fine for your keyboarding skills.
I meant Gitlab.com,
Self hosting gitlab really means zero discoverability.

As for mirroring, mirroring to GitHub defats the entire reason, as code will get parsed by copilot.
I know how to self host, but I'm still not that heavy of a git user, and my project are mostly experiments and some CI/CD builds.

I have been researching this a bit, and I'm still conflicted about switching to gitlab.

On one hand, gitlab.com is still closed source, has very limited free tier, so any project that starts on GitLab can't really grow.
And Gitlab's recent decisions really say "we are big enough, we don't need your good wil anymore", with things like limiting search to logged-in users، and the upcoming 5GB bandwidth limit, which includes people cloning your repo.(1)

On the other, its still the best GitHub alternative, the CI/CD is amazing, its well integrated, with full feature coverage.

On the other hand Codeberg, is more community feeling with a better interface(IMO) and no locked feature on purpose, but its still not very well integrated, not very well known, and the CI options are limited.

Egypt wants more water with sediments and minerals that haven't been deposited downstream and Sudan had suffered a lot from flooding. Win/Win+money.
The reason Yucca Mountain sputtered out was that it wasn't really needed. It's cheaper to just put the spent fuel in dry casks for a few centuries, even if the stuff is then buried (or reprocessed, or shot into space). Given there was no $$ incentive to make YM work, any amount of opposition could stop it.
And what about Helion Energy tech? Pulsed collision of plasmoids (FRC), with direct energy conversion. Deuterium helium3 aneutronic fusion, no neutrons.

They've received $500M (lead by Sam Altman) to demo net electricity by 2024.
oh gawd. I signed up for twitter back in the day, and foolishly allowed access to my gmail contact list - of course they emailed everyone. And a few friends reached out to shame me (as they should).

they still send a lot of email to that address, but I haven't been able to login for 10 years, maybe more more? I've made a few half hearted attempts. oh well.

I suppose having a jurassic era account is helpful. It was either compromised years ago, or not even twitter can access the data. :shrug:
Sorry. I did miss the point. What is it?
