Does anyone happen to know whether there's been business analysis on a TrackPoint option for the Framework laptop?

Anecdotally, ThinkPads have a substantial following, and there's also been concerns about more recent Lenovo quality and design choices, and there's arguably a question-mark wrt some security threat models.

I'm curious what the business numbers would look like, for what Framework could do, and how many ThinkPad devotees they could convert.
Does anybody actually enjoy this type of type of SEO content?

Stuffed with filler words to the max. Maybe there is an answer to the title somewhere on the page. But the way it is written, it just stole my time until I gave up after a few paragraphs of filler content. First sentence:

Have you ever wondered why designers show
sketches of concept cars with massive deep dish wheels, but
when those cars actually make it to production the wheels
end up being fairly flat?

No. I just followed a link "Why car wheels are so flat these days" and was interested in the answer.

Compare that to a classic essay "A plan for spam" by Paul Graham:

http://paulgraham.com/spam.html

First sentence:

I think it's possible to stop spam,
and that content-based filters are the way to do it.

That's the type of content I would like to see on HN.

If it was 2022 style SEO content, PG's essay would have started with "Have you ever wondered why you get so much spam into your inbox these days and why that spam is so terribly boring, sprinkled with typos and ads, often full of images and links, and what you could do to get rid of it?". Shudder.
A comparison to S3 Select would make sense since S3 Select lets you leverage RANGE, leverage compact formats like compressed Parquet, and would presumably have a similar fundamental cost ie: get + data transfer.
...you finished Factorio without getting addicted or spending hundreds of hours optimising everything?

Clearly your brain lacks the "organising and optimising is GRRRREAT" -bit.

I can't play any Civilization-type games or - as I discovered - Factorio-type games. It rubs some primitive part of my brain just the right way and I can't stop.

Literally my first "let's see what kind of game this is" attempt at Factorio stopped when I saw the sun come back up. And with Civilization I almost got fired for playing "just one more turn" way too many times and turning up for work groggy, tired and late.

Now I only play games with plot that has a beginning, middle and an end and very little replayability.

You perhaps don't realize that having an MD degree does not make you qualified to speak about this. Very few practicing Doctors analyze this kind of data.

The researchers who are qualified (and who I am getting my info from) don't have MD's, they have PhD's though. Nothing I'm saying is controversial you know.

i.e. having or not having an MD degree has little to do with vaccine knowledge.

It's maybe possible I2O didn't require clearances when Mudge was a PM. Certainly at least since they moved to their current location everyone who works in the building or for the organization is cleared*.

Most programs themselves are unclass, and there are lots of collaborations in fundamental research where it's completely open, not even controlled unclass (CUI). That doesn't imply anything about the PM's clearance status. Not sure why a PM would go out of their way to talk about clearance status unless they were specifically planning for classified discussions. Your point about having a clearance not being some huge deal is certainly true though.

>"This redefining of what constitutes a recession is a recent phenomena, and has political roots, not financial ones."

There has been no "redefining" nor is it a recent phenomenon nor does it have political roots. You are wrong on all accounts.

It doesn't have political roots. The National Bureau of Economic Research(NBER) is a private, non-profit, non-partisan research organization with an aim is to promote a greater understanding of how the economy works.

The nonpartisan panel, which was established in 1978 by former Ronald Reagan adviser and NBER president Martin Feldstein, has gone out of its way to keep politics out of the process.

The committee meets in secret and doesn’t announce its gatherings in advance or even in retrospect, unless there’s a press release declaring a formal decision.

And it typically takes the panel about a year to decide on a recession call, though some decision have been made in a few months while others have taken almost twice as long. That’s almost always well after a recession has been widely recognized by Wall Street.

The committee has never reversed a call.

Rather than two negative GDP readings, the NBER is looking for a substantial decline in activity over a sustained period of time. The committee sets dates of the peaks of economic activity and troughs based on six monthly data series, including nonfarm payrolls, personal consumption spending and industrial production.

I was talking about Gödel, not Goldbach:

> The proof of Gödel's result's involves very carefully formalizing what statements and proofs mean so that they can be encoded as statements about arithmetic. He then shows there is a statement with encoding G that says "The statement with encoding G cannot be proved" – if it is true, then it cannot be proved.

Sorry I meant to quote this bit at the beginning of my comment. Parent comment which I was replying to talks about both.
I think it's totally fair to hold up Cuba against, for instance, Costa Rica or Panama. Both those countries receive substantial subsidies from the US.

I think one could argue that Cuba is not out of line with its peers and might actually be ahead in some ways. It's not perfect, but regionally it's doing pretty alright from what I can tell.
In that case I'd argue the objection has nothing to do with "for all" or "there exists" but rather reasoning about infinite sets.

We can do plenty with women's education and condoms.

What path would you prefer instead?
you need to afix another point in your picture. Imagine a basic wheel mounted on the end of a solid axle. Now imagine that you made the axle shorter and replaced the wheel hub with a cone ("deep-dish") that has the tire mounted on the rim at the wide end of the cone. Did you change anything other than angular momentum (I guess I should say polar moment)?

if you want to say, "you can't use a cone like that because there needs to be a hinge on the axle at this point for the wheel to steer-turn" then we've arrived at the reason for the limit on deep dishes? or if it's some other reason, it still doesn't seem that hard to describe.

what I'm really saying is, the geometric concepts could be taught more simply without the all terminology. My older brother raced cars that he fixed and modified himself, so I grew up basically in a mechanic's shop. That was a long time ago so it's fine if terminology and concepts have changed, but I have a big head start over the average person and I found the article annoyingly incomprehensible

To expand on this point, 18% of US voters say they get their political information from social media[1]. Even ignoring Twitters influence outside this group (which is significant because most journalists and politicians use it) it is pretty difficult to make the case that 18% of the voting public is insignificant.

I agree as well that technology wise it still isn't solved, but I think it is the creative side that will be the most unknown part of the project these days.

> We keep learning, from news and TV/movie fiction, that whistleblowers usually lose big.

Even when they do, the public is usually better off after knowing the truth. Whistleblowing isn't something most people do to for personal gain (although some suspect this one might be). I think most whistleblowers expect that at least some sacrifice will be required if they come forward.

> AI generated content is only as successful as the content it generates.

What does success mean? Let's assume you mean "Profit from visits generated by SEO"

> If you were to read some content that's useful to you, does it matter the source?

I am doubtful about there being any intersection in a venn diagram between

* Content that is useful to me

* Successful at extracting money through SEO

* AI generated

> I get that google is increasingly being degraded by SEO content, but that's a problem with google, not this site allowing users to use AI generated content as a writing tool.

This is disingenuous. There is no way we can believe that AI generate content will be as accurate and useful as human generated content. We want the quality human generated content. Until we get to AIs that are as intelligent as human beings, and share our context.

Using AI as a tool where the human edits it is probably OK. But blasting out AI-generated articles with no review is going to be horrible. And using Google as justification - well Googles weakness is what makes this idea profitable!

> Odd part 1: ... moving large numbers of VMs (100,000-500,000) over to Linux based virtualization in very short time frames.

> Odd part 4: Every one of these requests involves moving the VMs off VMWare or Hyper-V onto OpenShift, specifically.

As a Solution Architect at Red Hat, no sane sales rep would ever recommend or propose moving VMware footprints of that size onto OpenShift via OpenShift Virtualization[0]. As amazing as that payout would be, that would literally be account suicide if it ever got signed off on. The whole purpose behind OpenShift Virtualization is to aid in organization modernization as a way to consolidate workloads onto a single platform while giving app dev time to migrate their work to containers and microservice based deployments.

We are working on making OpenShift Virtualization as capable as we can (considering we're killing the Red Hat Virtualization product [upstream project: oVirt]) but it's not really meant, especially right now, to be a VMware replacement. That's what solutions like Nutanix are for.

This entire thing, if at all true which is unlikely, would smell of typical negotiation games to attempt to gain better pricing/discounts when it comes time for their VMware renewals. We see this a lot in attempts for customers to try and get better pricing when it comes Red Hat products, and potential customers the other way around with their existing vendors. Business is business and everyone will try to get the best deal they can, but the games do get annoying after a while.

> With respect to the rest of your argument, I understood that Amazon makes most of its profit from AWS, while stories about its ruthless exploitation of its warehouse staff are legion.

> Why has no-one "Musked" luxury yachts?

Well, for one thing, a luxury yacht is a status symbol. If it became less expensive, more people would be able to afford them, and the wealthy would feel less special about being able to own one. Certainly not the only reason, but I'm sure it's a contributing factor.
Not only this, but people publish their papers months ahead on arxiv. Big labs have big publicity and thousands will read their papers. They can often do more impactful work too because the massive amount of compute that they have.

I admittedly haven’t looked at Ethereum in a while, but I’m having a hard time grokking this logic:

> Ethereum clients run the code automatically alongside all the other code on the Ethereum network, impartial to what it is or does.

That can’t be true on its own. If I write the code in Notepad and share it with friends, the Ethereum client isn’t running it. From what I recall, the way to get it to actually run is to spend gas? Isn’t that the step where it changes from published code to executing code?

I 100% agree that the code behind this all should be free speech. But to try to call “spending money to have a global network execute the code” “publishing” is a pretty big stretch.

In the same way that your ISP isn’t going to get shut down for transmitting the bits that initiated the money laundering transaction, the end node operators are not the proposed target here but rather the people picking up the phone and asking the system to launder money, as well as those responsible for the specific instances of the code that are doing the laundering.

Panama and Costa Rica are pretty protective (usually foreigners get actual seconds, unless they are rich), but if not, if a Cuban had a choice between staying in Cuba or moving to Panama, if I were that Cuban, I would take Panama.

The more I learn about game dev the less I think this is true. The number of programmers that can work on bleeding edge game engine tech is incredibly low and the learning curve has only gotten more severe over time.

Yes and I think that proves my point. The majority of quest 2 users are not using link. So if it’s half of pcvr, then the stream vr stats are skewed towards “typical” pcvr usage which distorts the true vr story which is dominated by mobile. It’s like looking at laptop software sales and making conclusions about the app market place ignoring that mobile dominates that space too.

Intellectually poor man's attempt at a summary of the summary:

Part 1 - math proof that a formal system when evaluated by an agent "breaking out of the system" can use that system to prove itself inconsistent. ("f* up" the internal logic of that system by feeding it into itself)

Part 2 - ironically, to be conscious you have to have an awareness of your own system (a "strange loop") but you'll never be able to understand yourself as proven in part 1.
>> No one wanted to talk about what I wanted to do next and my prof interests. Only about past experience and existing skills that I could immediately contribute.

This makes complete sense from an employer point of view.

Firstly, they likely filtered you for an interview based on your current skill set. Meaning their need is for _that_ skill set.

Secondly they're not interested in you learning new stuff on their dime. Especially because you'd just take the fruit of that learning elsewhere. [1]

Getting hired into a place where they want your expertise "_after_ you've learned it" is a long game, and they need an actual body now, not some hypothetical body who may work out a year from now, who may leave.

So here's the thing. If you want to learn something new, learn it (on your own time). Don't expect an employer to pay for that. [2]

[1] given that they're not looking for that skill set themselves.

[2] that said, the ability and willingness to learn on the job is an asset. Every business is unique in some way, and adaptability is itself a very useful trait.

I lived through EMC's VMware tightening their grip, killing off our vendor "reflex firewall" by restricting their use of network APIs (to boost their Nicira acquisition which became NSX), then making us pay the vRAM vtax as part of the VSPP program (public cloud), and launching project Zephyr (vCloud Air) where they directly competed with us.
