I did a lot of testing on battery life testing on my new 1260P Framework recently. It has a 55Wh battery, so you can back out any of the calculations for battery life:

* On my Arch install (5.19 kernels, tlp and thermald installed, but default settings, running Sway WM), it idles at around 4W at 200 nits (if nothing is plugged into the USB ports and it's able to spend almost all its time in C10), otherwise you're looking at idles of around 6W. Overall, it should get about 10h doing "nothing."

* Light usage, including playing (VA-API hw accelerated) videos like YouTube will get to 8-12W.

I haven't done a lot of rundown tests, but I suspect for average usage (web browsing, basic productivity, light dev, but not monster compiles) you'd probably expect like 5-7h, but it's not going to give you 8h+ like you would expect with the best modern thin and lights.

A few other battery related notes:

* From Intel 11th-gen on, S3 suspend is no longer supported, just S0ix or s2idle ("modern standby") - I wrote a test script and for me, this uses about 0.7Wh when suspended, or about 1.3% of battery/hour - Windows machines automatically hibernate at 5% battery usage, and you'll probably want to setup suspend-then-hibernate for any newer Intel machine.

* The Framework 11th gen had some RTC/power off battery drain issues, but those are supposed to be fixed for 12th gen (I haven't tested as rundown times are in the weeks if its a problem).

Links to testing here: https://github.com/lhl/linuxlaptops/wiki/2022-Framework-Lapt...

I also wrote a rough little tool to track battery rundown while suspended into a sqlite db here: https://github.com/lhl/batterylog

If you're looking for maximum battery life for a Linux laptop btw, Tuxedo and Slimbook (shared TongFang chassis) recently released two recent models that would do better than the Framework. An AMD 5700U 15" model w/ a 91Wh battery which is a lot more power efficient (and can be made more efficient with RyzenAdj) - I used the last version of this laptop (and wrote a review on that as well) the past two years and can attest that it's good, and the improvements on the refresh fix just about everything I didn't like about the first version, but the 5700U is sadly using older Zen2 cores that are outclassed at high-end performance, and suffers from retbleed mitigations as well. The second model are 14" Intel 12700H systems with 99Wh batteries (at the same weight as the Framework, very impressive). While a higher power consumption chip, you can tame it with thermald, auto-cpufreq, or manual RAPL settings and make it perform pretty close to a P chip I suspect, and you have almost twice the battery capacity to play with. (Obviously, get the version w/o an Nvidia dGPU if you care about battery life.)
I have MOTU, Universal Audio and Audient which are all good. But they are general aimed at musicians/producers etc. I would also recommend RME if you use a Mac or just the ASIO drivers on Windows.

The drivers are really important, and often audio interfaces aimed at professionals will use a driver that a DAW can utilise with control over latency. macOS users tend not to need to worry about this so much because as long as they are good it works, and on DAWS on Windows I use ASIO because MME, WASPI and WDM have had poor behaviour and/or latency in the past. But for general music listening those other driver types should be ok if the manufacturer supports them well - but this is where the problem might be.

I am guessing it might be the driver that sucks in your experience?

Have you tried S/PDIF output to an external convertor?
As a millennial I can tell you exactly why TikTok is better:

1. The Reels algorithm is simplistic as fuck. I was scrolling through Instagram recently and a three reel “ad” came up. I accidentally tapped on the center one and it turned out to be a pimple popping video. Now every reel I see is that. No exceptions. I am sure if I actually watched more Reels I would get better content but that’s work.

2. Reels are often poor quality. What I see is mostly life hacks that are actually really stupid or jokes that never pay off.

3. TikTok has a creator culture that seems far superior to Reels. What Facebook/Instagram seem to fail to realize is that the problem they have isn’t a lack of a video platform but rather a lack culture. TikTok somehow did foster a really cool culture of people creating content, perhaps using their stitches feature.

4. Instagram is a photo sharing platform. Imagine if every other thing you saw on TikTok was a still photo. It would be jarring. That’s the current experience with reels.

5. I don’t know if this is actually true but it feels to me that you can get a lot more exposure quickly on TikTok than with Reels. I don’t post TikTok videos but know enough people who do and it seems they are very much able to get tens of thousands of views with minimal effort and while being relatively new to the platform. I don’t think you can get those numbers with Reels.

6. TikTok nailed ads. They are obvious, easy to skip, and not jarring at all. Instagram is a mess.

7. I come to Instagram to seek specific kind of content from my friends. I get reels from total strangers. I come to TikTok to get lols from random strangers and sometimes see friends. This is very personal but this is a major reason for me to use both and to dislike Reels.
The title doesn't match the story at all.
Nitter is a frontend for Twitter. It's so much faster, and doesn't block you if you don't have a Twitter account.

ironic, as a person who was very warm to GitHub previously and after attempting to coldly assess their offering for enterprise: I found it to be quite lacking compared to Gitlab.

I can't imagine choosing GitHub except for cool points or if you're working very closely with code that isn't yours primarily.

For example: Things like SAML and SCIM are very important to enterprise customers and it feels extremely jank on GitHub.
Totally, but this is a full greenfield project. It's a pretty unusual situation to be in.

If you can get by with suspend to disk, any of the nuc like thing should work. The Intel compute module PC on a stick from a couple years ago would make an easy to carry device, although I don't know if there's been any of those with updated processors.
Libson is a global city, easy air access to pretty much everywhere in europe/us/asia, good international schools, low cost of living, and very importantly, very mild, california-like weather. Once you have kids, you need access to good international schools so that they can integrate back into US public schools/colleges without getting left behind academically. Also you have access to a lot more culture and night life than out in the country. For young people the dating pool in large cities is very deep. Getting out of Libson/Porto as an expat, dating can be difficult if you're not a fluent speaker of the local language, and Portuguese is wildly different from Spanish when spoken, even though they look similar on paper.
Ask HN: How is it possible that the 45 yo Tom Brady still plays professionally?
On all other sports (except non-athletic ones like archery etc) people over 30 are retiring. In American Football, there's a 45 years old professional player that still competes and is actually very good.

Now, I don't know anything about american football, but how is that even possible ?
The logical conclusion of that argument is to scale up the turbo, rip out the big chunking reciprocating mass of metal and just inject fuel directly in a can ahead of the turbo. ;)

(Oh, and since your gas generator no longer has a prop shaft sticking out of it, you need to mount the shaft on the turbo instead. Possibly on a separate turbine wheel.)
With super low interest rates for a long time and government financial support during COVID, the number of zombie businesses surviving longer than they probably should has been enormous.

Ehh little bit of both, no? He made bad decisions but he also made some of those for corrupt reasons like obeying his rich friends. And if you believe The Power Broker, by the apex of his power, he was effectively running the old state patronage system.

But thousands of cars pass that way each day, and one breaks down. The (admittedly anecdotal) issue rate described for planes sounded much higher.
As opposed to your own highly scientific statistically valid findings.
For almost 100 years, Texas A&M created MASSIVE bonfires prior to their game against archrival University of Texas. The bonfires became bigger and bigger each year.

In 1999, 70 students at a time set up more than 5,000 logs.

On November 18, 1999, the stack was 59 feet high.

You should all see where this is going....

The stack collapsed.

Cranes were brought in. The process was slow - a wrong move...further collapse and students were under the logs.

12 kids died, 27 injured.

So there ya go.

I think this quote from a recent New Yorker article[1] sums up a subtle difference that’s easy to overlook. Topic has been on my mind a bit lately[2]:

“Chandlee, who spent more than twelve years at Mark Zuckerberg’s company before moving to TikTok, dismissed the idea [of concern over competition from Facebook]. “Facebook is a social platform. They’ve built all their algorithms based on the social graph,” he said, referring to the network of links to friends, family, and casual acquaintances that Facebook users painstakingly assemble over time. “We are an entertainment platform. The difference is significant.””

I'd recommend making sure you have thermald (2.3+, current version is 2.5) installed. It's the best way to load/use the proper adaptive DPTF tables from the BIOS.

Also, it's important to make sure you're running the latest kernel. Basically every release since 5.15 (up to 5.19 now) has had pretty important perf/power fixes for Alder Lake.
The same. Although, you would think GitHub had the resources to keep maintaining this page even for just public image purposes among the power users / enthusiast who maybe care more. Seems like they are tuning town the social media aspect in their marketing too.

Having a series of psychedelic experiences in my 20s were a significant event in my life and I believe they were absolutely beneficial to my relationship with myself and my relationship with my beliefs.

That you put stock in cool sounding bullshit is your own problem, not that of psychedelics.

I think this is more of a "you have to" thing: I vividly remember many 3 - 4 year olds on the vietnamese side of my family being MUCH more ahead of the ones from the german side... i would think it could be that we in the west put too little challenge up for our kids

Oh but yes you can financialize. Financializatuon of real estate isn't really about outsized returns, it's the return to risk ratio that has potential for massive leverage.

So if you increase supply and then people get bigger homes, etc..., until prices reach an equilibrium, then as long as rents exceed maintenance costs and land doesn't depreciate, you have a leverage (read: financialization) opportunity.

Then prices rise again until you do something else, and eventually you approach infrastructure scaling limits.
Making money excites me. I don't really care too much about what it is, I find that as I earn more and more money, the business starts to excite me more and more. I'll sell potatoes if I make millions, I'll sell my used underwear if it makes millions.

I don't want to do something that I hate, but I'll be ok if it is "average" interest.

Plus, nothing excites me...so what do I do? Well, sleeping all day every day is exciting, but I don't think anyone would pay me for that, damn it. Not working at all excites me. Does someone want to hire me for not working? If I start my own company, does anyone want to pay me for sending me money and getting nothing in return? Because as I think about it, that is what is starting to get me more and more excited.

Also, I think about all the people who work in jobs that they hate, just to make money. One woman I know, she works 2 jobs, 8 hours each, every day. She has 5 children she supports. She used to didn't work but 3 years ago, her husband, who was the main earner, died. She is now working minimum wage jobs, at $15/hour, struggling.

One does what one has to do, even if they hate it for a long time. I kind of get sick of the whole "Do what you love otherwise you can't work" mindset. It's kind of arrogant... you have to be happy working, but others still go out every day, to jobs they hate, and somehow keep doing it every day. But, you will quit if you don't LOVE what you're doing. Crazy thought process, as I see it. Arrogant. I mean, guess it's great that you are a Stanford or Harvard MBA and only have to do what makes you happy, otherwise...well, there is no otherwise. I must be happy, nothing else will suffice, right?
I mean someone who would say:

>As a part of Gen Z, I relate a lot more with TikTok creators in general. Even the ads on Tiktok don't bother me as much.

That’s because Facebook’s motives are absolutely sublime in their purity: they want you to use their product and they want you to click on those ads.

The motives of a company controlled by the CCP are much much murkier.
Awesome, I read this years ago and have always kept it in mind ever since. Just wanted to say thanks for writing/co-authoring it!
A 2-in-1 option, similar to the Thinkpad Yogas would be cool as well, because I use my laptop in tablet mode sometimes. But I can see that it might be a niche.

Oh! This connects some dots for me. THAT'S where most of this anxiety is coming from.

By driving risk out of kids lives even small risks feel like a life or death situation. And without getting used to them as a kid it's paralyzing because mistakes can cost you a job or car or home.

And to a lesser extent making success/excellence required just doubles down on all of that.
Piggy-backing off my comment, because I forgot to mention this very interesting project:

https://replicate.com/andreasjansson/stable-diffusion-animat...

The idea is that it takes two txt2img prompts and animates between them. The result isn't 100% there yet, but I think this idea has some legs on the 2D side of things because of the way it's able to keep a consistent composition. (One of the core issues with txt2img is that while it can produce nice images, it can product just one - animation, or even a series of story boards requires a lot of manual intervention from the creative.

Huge props for the Crystal lang team.

Crystal powers 90% of the Kagi search backend (reminder being Python). Highlights are great performance and concurency handling. Biggest downsides at this moment are compilation speed (does not take advantage of multi CPU cores) and debugging tools.

Overall our experience has been fantastic (we adopted it while still in beta) and the pace the language is developing is great.
There are countless companies making USB/similar cables. They are a commodity and it's hard for them to stand out.

So I use brand (Anker, amazon basics, Apple, etc) and store (amazon.com, best buy, target, etc) to narrow down the countless cable options.
Hi HN,

I have updated my workflow for designing music interaction on Bela [1] with Glicol [2].

Bela is a maker platform for creating beautiful interaction. Designed for artists, musicians, researchers and makers, Bela brings the power of ultra-low latency interactive audio and sensors to your digital projects [1].

Glicol is a graph-oriented live coding language and music DSP library written in Rust [2].

Thanks to the wonderful work of Andrew Smith [3] and Paul Adenot [4], we can now run Rust code to control Bela. I am also exploring the possibility to integrated things into the Bela IDE, although I feel that to write code on your familiar environment is often a better solution.

I have also shot a short video demo:

Since avgas is such a small market I’m thinking that might raise its TAM as a “premium plus” sort of product.

This is a great post! Love that CEO goes into such technical details.

Looking forward to read about networking. That I think is technically also interesting and has been a challenge for us for a bit. Coming to the VMs and lower level topics like kernel, or Linux networking has been really fun for me. Weirdly, things feel much simpler the lower you go for some reason. Probably less abstraction?

> the needs of enterprise customers differ from the needs of open source communities

Indeed, but GitHub's "social" features cater neither to enterprise customers nor to open source communities, but to a (hypothetical?) group of people that want a blend of software engineering and Instagram-style popularity chasing, with a bit of cartoon cuteness sprinkled on top.

I honestly found the introduction of the "achievements" section on user pages to be borderline insulting. I'm building cool stuff, not playing an RPG. Who does GitHub think their userbase is?
