Eh - I threw Arch on it right away and it's been ROCK solid. No freezes, no wifi disconnects, running gnome/wayland without any hitches. All ports work fine, settings keys all work fine, basically - no issues at all.

Suspend even works relatively well, although I tend to turn on hibernate on lid close since modern laptops boot so quickly, and it entirely eliminates battery drain.

I'm also on the 12th gen intel version - None of these issues, so either OP isn't quite as good as he thinks he is, and borked a bunch of things... or the issues op hit are just "Ubuntu" related. Frankly - I like their server products but their consumer desktop releases have been dogshite since they dropped unity.

I'd go with basically any other distro at this point for a laptop device (popOS, Arch, Fedora, etc). It's sort of a shame, since Ubuntu was the distro that really focused on consumer support for a while - but they aren't that anymore, at least in my opinion (although again... they do good stuff server side, if only they would cut it out with forcing everything to snaps. I don't even mind snaps, I just want the option to do a real install)

---

Long rant aside - it replaced a more expensive Dell XPS that was designed to work with Ubuntu (although I also ran Arch there). The Dell had some of the same issues OP complains about while running Ubuntu - so I would suggest he try something else.

I like mine a lot. I didn't have to think about it much. It just runs Arch well.
Also a great example of effective feature engineering.

The success of gradient boosting and deep learning lies largely in the ability of those models to "learn" sophisticated high-order features from raw data. Their particular success in working with images, audio, and video lie in their ability to construct more (and more sophisticated) features, beyond what a team of smart humans with domain knowledge could have constructed by hand given huge resources. In a sense, the only difference between model architectures is the feature space that they embed the raw data into.

That said, sometimes you just need to give the model a good starting place, and sometimes you can obviate A sophisticated model largely or entirely, if you can come up with highly "explanatory" features on your own.

To this day, I think the ability to come up with high-impact features is one of the differentiating factors of really good industry data scientist.
While we're at it, can we get a new motherboard standard that acknowledges the fact that video cards are at least as complex as the motherboard itself? With the strong preference for a ring configuration for central cooling, like the trash can Mac Pros. Or a star one.
I tried Stage Manager and turned it off within 10 minutes. It does seem somewhat better than the iPad implementation, but that bar is so low that this feature at the current state deserves no praise whatsoever.

The new System Settings app is kind of buggy, which makes me think that 13.1 is coming sooner (by the end of the year?) rather than later.

Other than that, there isn't much I can personally say about Ventura. It's more or less what one would expect from mac OS as of late - a subtle continuation of Big Sur and Monterey. Aside from the hardware compatibility list, there is nothing disruptive about it, which I am sure many will like.

For better or for worse, it seems like 80% of the software engineering effort at Apple goes towards iOS.

Germany did not want to produce oil/gas locally due to concerns about environmental impact. Instead, they decided to import it from Russia.

> It is interesting to see this opinion so high up when it is abstracted, but as soon as you drop down to specifics in something like tech you get mountains of complaints about Google abandoning "don't be evil" or ad-tech companies in general being cancerous companies that harm society. If it were really all about the bottom line then these companies would be among the very best companies in the world. They make a shit load of money!

I think the determining factor is: is the issue politically contentious or not?

A lot of the "evil" things Google, Facebook, or some random ad-tech company does are things that are commonly condemned by people across the political spectrum. All/most "ESG" criteria are politically contentious things that seem to strongly align with one political/ideological block [1].

It's honestly baffling that I have to explain this, but: Expressing interest in finding someone to date does not imply any form of consent to being sent nudes.

Some people might want that, and for them it would make sense if platforms added an opt-in feature to signal their interest in unsolicited nudes, or to opt-out of whatever form of filtering there might be.

But the default should be that you can open an app for meeting people without being forced to see someone's dick.

Not sure why you're objecting, here. No one said "directly," and "primarily" specifically leaves room for the fact that they could sail into the wind.

Your math is a little off on the prices. Recall that the GBSD will release 10-12 MIRVs, which means the ABM shield has to intercept 10-12 targets, not one, for every ICBM. And standard operating procedure is to fire 4 interceptors at each target to ensure a hit. That means for each GBSD we need 40 interceptors, making it over 5 times more expensive to intercept a GBSD than the GBSD itself. Of course, just comparing missile costs isn't the best, they do not operate on their own. Each interceptor needs a silo, ground crew, intercept radars, etc. ICBMs need silos and ground crews also. The cost to operate an ICBM or ABM shield over its lifetime will dominate the total costs compared to the initial missile price.
So on the topic of color space on iPads (that reference mode):

I commented the other day that though all my recent Apple products have excellent color space they are all out of calibration. I decided to TRY calibrating my iPad Pro 11 (first gen) during Sidecar. The results were... not good. ~91% sRGB and ~71% DCI-P3. It's noticeably desaturated compared to running native. Likely some USB compression; I'm wondering if they got around that by implementing the "reference" link via Thunderbolt, or just created a specific pairing and are doing something akin to FRC in the compression. I'd be interested to know, but likely they aren't going to tell us.

Again, this misrepresents the argument. No one is saying anything about cheating or boot-licking. The issue is that too many MPs are wealthy career politicians with no experience of normal working life. Whilst the public school track into politics has always been an issue, even in Labour the number of MPs with a working class background has plummeted over the last few decades. The detachment from working class reality is at a point where the leader now explicitly instructs front-benchers not to attend strike pickets.

Besides, isn't it more ambitious and impressive to have worked one's way into a position of political power without the silver spoon and elite connections? Look at Angela Rayner, a single mother and former care worker; Michael Gove, who worked his way up from an Aberdeen state school; or Dennis Skinner, who worked for 20 years a coal miner before representing Bolsover and giving Enoch Powell a run for his money in Parliament.

My working hypothesis is that the conscious and subconscious mind cannot access the same part of the brain at the same time (sort of like bus conflicts). So, counterintuitively, to let your subconscious mind churn on a problem, you have to actively focus elsewhere. This, at least, seems to be how it works for me.

I am more concerned about not doing the wrong thing (if I can avoid it) then any display of righteousness.

In the case, no one is forcing me to use WhatsApp, so if I can avoid being a participant in something that I believe to be hurtful to me and others, I will. The inconvenience is a small price to pay.
If you let users add an "is okay with nudes" flag, to their profile, then those who want could just consent to receiving unsolicited nudes while anyone else can have a safe experience free of unexpected sausage.

I don't see how that is in any way less practical than outright blocking everything.

so it's quite a tax right now.

True, I guess it really depends on your workload. If you're not CPU bound and don't really expect to be, then getting the best CPU/mobo combo you can afford today and not worrying about upgrading might be the best way to go.
Support is a lot more of a nebulous concept than it used to be. I recall AMD stopped releasing new drivers for Windows 8 at least a couple years ago, even though it is still supported by Microsoft. At the same time they were still releasing Windows 7 drivers even though MS stopped support in 2020.
Personally, when I've been burned out, the cause hasn't been a single factor and it was gradual. Not sure if this was mentioned in the prior comments, but imo the first person that you should discuss this with is your wife and depending on how close you are, the rest of your support system (friends, other family). E.g. wife might agree to take over some larger load, look after the kids instead of you for larger period of time, provide you more space or not nag you for some projects that you were supposed to do.
The point is for them to provide support and to allow you to gradually get out of the burn out.
From my point of view, burn out is not a binary state and by alleviating some factors you can have a bigger recharge than what you spend. If you do any changes, try to be aware if you seeing any improvements and if not consider more drastic changes.
I wouldn't talk about this with my boss, unless the rest of the changes is not working.
It has happened a couple of times in the past (e.g. with the law on transgender people or homosexual marriage) that the courts stepped in and demanded improvement or yeeted laws outright as they became untenable.

It's not unthinkable, particularly as the generation "18th birthday gift? Onlyfans account" enters political life, that the same will happen again. Additionally, the youth protection commission NRW is on a holy crusade against Pornhub and other sites - should they eventually be successful, younger people who don't care about the news and only react when they see their favourite porn site going dark in Germany may rise up and demand reforms as well.

And on top of that, boomers are thankfully slowly dying out and retiring, so the gerontocrats in parliament will go away as well.

> But the new connector is still only rated for 600W (if used within spec),

I think that's the problem right there: running the connection at its rated limit. It implies that a damaged or slightly out-of-spec connector could fail, as we see happened here.

Defensive engineering involves safety margins for safety-relevant specifications. Running a digital signal at the limits of its specification is one thing; data corruption is a detectable problem and not inherently unsafe. Running power connections at rated limits is something else entirely because the failure modes are physical damage, fire, and electrical arcing.

600W of power delivery is no joke, and I'd like to see that power carried over cabling and connectors with absolute maximum ratings much greater than that, say 1kW. Per the specs, it seems that each of the 12 current-carrying conductors in the connector runs about 9A. A dodgy connection that results in just 1-ohm of resistance would then represent 80W lost as heat at that point.

Frankly, I think that running 600W over a single 12V multi-core cable is insane. You're talking 50A of current, or about the same current rating as the largest typical home circuits for an electric kitchen appliance or car charger. In the home, that calls for thick structural cabling, but it appears (https://www.cable-sleeving.com/pcie5-12vhpwr-16pin-connector) that the in-case recommendations are to use 16AWG wire or even a touch thinner.
We actually made this number public in the post. It just appears laters around the conclusions sections.

Jonathan Blow is a good speaker – I haven't seen this talk (will watch later) but I'm sure the content is good.

However, he has also not worked in a tech company of the kinds we see today (games are a different business), and he hugely underestimates the necessary complexity of systems. He is right that there's a lot of unnecessary complexity, and that we should push back on complexity of all kinds, but I've always found his opinions around this to be naive, to lack nuance, and to lack experience. His arguments often boil down to criticising progress rather than acknowledging the issues progress brings and finding ways to work around or minimise those issues.

Getting to five 9s is hard, and as software does more it'll get harder, but it's not impossible, particularly if we look at five-9s from the user's perspective, as clients get smarter we have more leeway to accept minor downtime without harming the user experience.
Yawn. Apple retired the 30 pin connector 10 years ago to much user griping. Apple said then they'd keep the new connector for 10 years. Guess what? It's 10 years later.

Meanwhile, Apple has been employing USB-C in more and more of their devices. It's not like they've been avoiding it. All the EU has done is ensured Apple won't keep the Lightning connector longer than the 10 years Apple promised.

There's no standard for power between trailer and vehicle. You're probably looking at a 400V DC connector, which is going to need to be fairly tough, because you don't want to electrocute someone. You can't just borrow the existing DC charging connector, because most of them are on the side of the vehicle, and are also set to not allow the car to move if connected.

You'd probably need a DC/DC converter to bring the trailer voltage to match the vehicle voltage, or you get the trailer ending up charging the vehicle (and that'd be bad if you don't have something to regulate the current flow). Or you'd need to have another entire drive inverter set to run the motors off the trailer power, and have no HV connection.

And lastly, it's almost certainly better in the long run to just improve the charging infrastructure so there's a stop when you need it.

That said, your small trailer might be handy for things like: you're actually towing something, and being able to have the trailer supply power to offset the air resistance, would be handy.
Thanks! The project is generally going well, if a little ambitious for the resources it currently has :)

Having been down the venture capital route in the past and not particularly enjoyed it, I'm trying to work on Snikket as close to full-time as possible while self-limiting to funding that's compatible with the open nature of the project and the ecosystem it's a part of. Currently grants, sponsorships and donations are helping immensely with that.

There is no desktop app yet, but it's firmly on the roadmap. For now I tend to point people towards Dino or Gajim for Windows and Linux, or Beagle for MacOS. None are a perfect match for the project right now, but power users can generally deal with it, and all of them are under active development and constantly improving.
