I'm a big fan of "right to listen", so people with different comfort levels can all be more comfortable. It's as unfair for people with low comfort levels for jokes to make everyone else uncomfortable with overbearing censorship as it is to constantly be bombarded with triggering jokes. People should have the right not to have to deal with reading stuff they don't want to. People should also have the right to not be censored, and anyone who wants to read those jokes should be able to. These two issues don't have to be in conflict, theoretically.

It sounds like a technology problem if you dig deep enough. Somehow flipping moderation from banning people outright(except for illegal content and spam) to categorizing the content by possible triggers, then letting people subscribe to certain moderation lists that hide things they don't want to see. As long as it's optional on the listener's end, it's not censorship.
File a complaint with your HR department that he’s creating a hostile work environment. It now becomes your org’s responsibility to correct this inappropriate behavior, as you’ve created a paper trail for discovery during an employment lawsuit.

Don’t quit. Toxic people must be dealt with head on.
Makes sense, congrats on shipping!
Making your own split ergonomic woodgrain keyboard is a hacker rite of passage, like forging your own lightsaber. And you do use vim, right, or at least VSCode in vim mode? What do you need f keys for?
...who built a simulation so robust that we've yet to demonstrate any actual bugs. This world is freakishly consistent, if it's the work of anything remotely like human intelligence (though I hold out hope for modern physics to wind up unresolved and unreconcilable, because I love mysteries).
That's a cool capability and I didn't read deeply enough when I saw the new GAN charger come out to notice that.

I haven't used it but from the outside it all appears very thoughtfully and competently engineered. His products have some of the highest TDP support (passive cases and his PSUs) on the passive HTPC market and the hifi aesthetic is great. I'd love to get an H5 or an H1 (although for a HTPC it'd be nice to have the H1.SODD - the H1.TODD doesn't look nearly as nice imo), don't really need it but the cat would love it.

Streacom does some interesting stuff too (like the DB4 cube case). Not quite as high TDPs and I don't like their body/fin aesthetic as much, but the DB4 is cool. And Akasa as well, love the galactico design.

Mini-box is the company that originated the picoPSU design and they do a fair bit of other miniature-computing stuff as well, including for the embedded automotive market. They have 18650 UPS modules for NUCs and other motherboards, shows up as a battery in the OS. The M350 case is also pretty nice for an on-the-desk type mini-pc, clearly to hit $50 you have to minimize costs but it's really the nicest $50 case that I've used in a long time (NZXT S340 non-elite got to $60 sometimes). The first picoPSU died within a day for no reason that I can tell but the second one has been fine, with the one caveat that the laptop brick is not low-noise at all. At one point I tried putting my PCs line-outs into an AV switcher and I was getting a groundloop and I could hear a bunch of noise. It was the M350/picopsu, when I unplugged it the other two PCs (including a dell laptop) were fine. Maybe not a typical use-case but it probably isn't the best choice for your SDR host or whatever lol. But HDPlex does have those linear regs...

It's super amusing that the 5700G (get the 5750G on ebay if you want ECC) is roughly as fast as my 9900K in most things but it does it at like 60W in a SFF case, can go even lower without much hit with eco mode. And it also can sorta game (in non-action stuff or older stuff). One night for fun I decided to play Team Fortress 2 at 3440x1440 on it, and it actually got a reasonably playable framerate... with a maxframes-config it would drop to around 30fps in teamfights but hey, returning to my roots playing it on my thinkpad w510/fx880m lol. I might have been able to push it farther with some res reduction but it was doing OK generally actually. It's also (again, roughly, haven't actually benchmarked) around the same speed as my 9900K in H264 encoding. The power scales very little past stock (at least during CPU workloads), just set it for silent and let it run, eco would probably be even better.
I too am wondering that. Doesn’t seem to be any corresponding asterisk explanation.
That makes total sense now. It's wild how different the user experience is when the industry is more amenable to open samples.
This is Nice.

Well, I started with an air of Zen[1] when the Pandemic started and now I'm in my natural habitat[2]. But one day, one day, I will have a desk setup worthy of an essay. Btw, love Arun's setup and will refer to his articles for inspiration.

So much to ingest/digest here.
Would depend on the relative speeds and masses: GR is relevant when relative speeds are “suffiently” high and masses “sufficiently” large. It may well be that the masses and speeds are low enough that GR is not needed, but it seems a curious omission.

After all, we already know that Newtonian gravitation is insufficient for analyzing our solar system (orbit of mercury requires GR).
For the most part, that's how reality seems to work, so it's probably right.
> Because we are still in the era of trying to move from 3V/5V to 12V!

At least we already have a standard for that: the very recent ATX12VO standard.
It says, near the top of the story, "There were so many photons per second that they couldn’t keep up".

Not a single photon. Not easy (not possible?) to distinguish signal from noise with a single photon, afaik.
> Fine, and this is "simply your skewed view". Yours is not inherently more right than mine.

Yes, exactly, which is why banning/suspending them is wrong. A joke can hit or land based on who is hearing it. You not liking it doesn't mean it's inherently hateful.

> You completely skipped my point. Progressives have treated this topic this way because there is no compromise position.

No, Progressives treat it this way because they are scared of their base. If you talk to many in private there are serious questions that they are too scared to raise. But I'm telling you, if they don't raise them, they could politically suffer from it.

> Trans people don't need "societal buy-in" any more than any other group.

This is just factually wrong. It requires you to allow them in women's sports despite tremendous advantages, in women/men's bathrooms (probably the lesser controversial ones,) to be legally held responsible for misgendering, to chemically/hormonally alter children, etc. That is societal buy-in. That is not the same as allowing a Jewish person to practice their Sabbath, employing a black person, or allowing a gay man to get married. I can't even think of anything remotely comparable.

> This has no relevance to the issue at hand. They weren't awarding the Cis Woman of the Year Award. They were awarding the Woman of the Year Award. Trans women should be just as eligible for that as cis women. This isn't a weightlifting competition.

It is actually very relevant and the fact that you can't see that is frustratingly hilarious. It's also funny you say it's not a weight-lifting competition, when a person born a male could theoretically enter a women's weight-lifting competition and completely dominate...and it would be unquestionably supported by some people.
What does the freedom of speech have to do with having access to the internet?
In my experience, people with super clean desks aren't consistently productive. Garbage or dirty dishes are the byproducts of computer work. If you aren't neglecting the cleanup sometimes, you probably aren't working that hard.
Journalists would have to actually do their job rather than dredging Twitter for hot takes.
Half of them bots. As he discovered after bidding for ownership.
Very disappointed by this. I've got mounted vertical monitors surrounding an extra wide curved monitor on a desk that has 3 distinct surfaces at different heights and a hidden shelf beneath, with a pull-out Kinesis keyboard and both a mouse and a trackball, with a large drafting desk running along one side, with a shelf above it for technical books.
Computers calculate billions of times faster than the brain, what's your point?
The US mobile app market is now an effective monopoly that can charge as much commission as Cupertino wants and enforce whatever policy Cupertino prefers.

Google has its playstore to sell freely its services.

Facebook needs a way out. TikTok needs a way out.
Apple pays a dividend. Microsoft pays a dividend. Most mature companies do.

When a company has cash that it can't invest as profitably as its shareholders could do on their own, it's obligated to pay it to them as a dividend. It's their money.

Of course, Zuckerberg would rather flush it down the toilet and call it "innovation." The stock market is voting No on that.
Anybody know what would the legal cost if he actually went to court ? I am thinking why not even put up a fight rather than just do a 50B purchase ?
It’s not the same at all. You don’t bring sheet music home and tell it to write a brand new symphony in the style of Beethoven.
I wouldn't give up number row and Fkeys for more chording for two reasons. One, I already have muscle memory for existing keyboard bindings to F keys and the existing locations. Two, I have multiple devices, and I can't drop new spacebar replacements onto the mobile ones.

Why optimize for just the desk? I like to move around to change things up sometimes.

(I do take advantage of things when I'm at the desk by having a mechanical keyboard... but it's a kinesis with more keys than a laptop, not fewer.)
I love that you use the word hysteria, which has a long history of misuse. The fall in value is entirely justified - Meta has sucked for a while, has no moat, and has begun its slow slide into irrelevance like myspace etc before it. In addition revenue is down everywhere due to the coming recession and at ad-driven companies most of all. This will continue for a while.

As to the bet on a metaverse, this idea comes from the 80s, and Meta has executed remarkably poorly on it - who can forget the legless avatars. Not even their own employees want to use it:

>I'm pretty sure this is related to people "on the spectrum" often having low "theory of mind" capabilities.

FWIW this idea has been losing some ground to the double empathy problem. People who aren't on the spectrum have corresponding poor theory of mind and empathy towards those who are. The problem is at least partially symmetric.

I've noticed a form of cultural cringe in developer communities where we assume that developers tend to be on the spectrum, have uniquely poor communication and social skills and cause social problems more than other working professionals. It's contrary to what I have seen in real life which is that dev teams socialize effectively and form cohesive and healthy cultures as much as any other field. That developers are usually the ones promoting better written norms and more thoughtful and thorough written communication.

The "assumed context" problem is common everywhere. Poor communication, anti-social and toxic behavior are common everywhere in most organizations. Developers are self-conscious of our poor social skills to an extent that is not matched elsewhere.
IME for engineering at these companies is that the social or political side of things is mostly irrelevant for Eng. Some folks want to be involved in internal activism but it’s easy to ignore and basically never comes up in Eng work. Ppl just avoid politics like normies and talk about average stuff like “how’s your kid?” not “let’s go to that protest”. Lots of good smart technical peeps more likely to nerd out on cool tech stuff than be political.
> In terms of experience though - think tricked out Linux desktop but with working sound.

I've spent some time thinking about this, mostly in terms of "why do I like Solaris more than GNU/Linux, even in 2022?". I think it really does boil down to it being 1. a single coherent system, 2. including running on hardware that was designed to run it, 3. with paid support by a company that actually has skin in the game to make the thing work. (And in my case a certain amount of rose-tinted glasses.) IMO, the Bazaar can build amazing things at probably-lower cost (certainly lower per-party) and it has a diversity that is good, but the Cathedral can, in fact, Get Stuff Done and build a more coherent system. And when you're successfully selling workstations at $10k+ a pop you can afford to do high quality engineering:)
The reason BTX failed is that it didn't present compelling arguments for enthusiasts at the time.

Were there high-end enthusiast-class BTX boards, comparable to the best ATX boards of the time? I don't recall seeing them in any numbers. Hell, even BTX cases from recognizable manufacturers are quite rare. It's obvious they were making the pitch to the largest OEMs, the Dells and Acers who can source their own cases and boards.

And the sales pitch was most compelling for them. If you've got a roasting Pentium 4 and a modest graphics card, you can fit them in the BTX "cooling channel" and keep them at a frosty 95c with a dinky heatsink and one or two cheap fans. That's not really exciting to an audience already saying "I can spend $75 on a kilogram of heatsink to get my CPU down to 70c, or $200+ on a custom-loop watercooling setup and get to 45c".

Maybe they needed to find a niche market for hobbyists to work with-- for example, the early "silent computing" crowd might have been more interested in marginal increases in cooling. After all, people are willing to consider other form factors when there's some compelling draw (see Mini-ITX)

I also wonder if the original design thesis still holds up. Once the Core series came out, "how do we cool this angry CPU" became less of a fixation, so it was probably easier to switch back towards commodity ATX designs. On the other hand, we've shot back past the original thermal situation and then some-- would the design still hold up with an unlimited 7950X drawing ~250W and a 4090 drawing 400w all trying to exhaust it into the cooling channel, or would they bake each other to death?

I do agree that today's GPUs are ridiculously long, and nonstandard designs make them difficult to manage. Given that most outward-facing drives are gone, and SSDs have replaced most spinning rust in enthusiast PCs, I wish we'd see more "flat desktop" style cases. The GPU isn't sagging because its weight is directed mostly straight down into the case's bracing, convection is probably a little better, but it doesn't really help the power nightmare. They always make the cheap photoshopped jokes about GPUs with mains power, but maybe that's a stopgap solution-- sell the 5090 with an external power brick supplying, say, 48V/12A, and there's no internal cable gore and the power system can be 48v everywhere it matters. Then there's no need to design the rest of the PSU to guess what nVidia will want tomorrow.
If I were mostly mobile I would buy one of those 2-way screen extenders that attaches to the back of the laptop and gives you 3 monitors, and/or a large vertical touchscreen to use alongside.

Trackballs are nice to have in addition to mice.
Would you build your business on top of code you didn't have the source for?

We can get into the weeds with blackbox firmware and what not, but it's darn useful to be able to look at the OS code to figure things out when it's acting weird.
Yes, I saw that. The reporter behind this story says he has 4 sources and screenshots. I can't say it's 100% true but it seems much more likely than the Ligma/Johnson bit.
No. For your argument to be correct, I would have to argue that Google makes all its money through SOFTWARE.

One is a BUSINESS MODEL, the other is a product category. You are confusing the two.

It seems unsophisticated because it is unsophisticated. Take away the ads model and you don't have a business. It's that simple.

I am not against the ads model, because it's business at the end of the day. But to think it's anything more than that is kinda dumb too. All products need to make money. That's how employees get paid 200-500k salaries.

You might not like it, but Google functions as a whole, not individual products. No CEO is going to look at YouTube and think of it as a separate business. It may be able to function as one, but he/she is always thinking how it can help the other products under the company.

You seem to have this fascination with Google products. I would argue you are not business-minded at all. Would you consider yourself a Google fan boy?

On a last note, I would appreciate it if you argue on the merits of the argument instead of calling other people kinda dumb. It's doesn't convince me one bit about your logic and shows the limit of your reasoning skills. The cap locks also don't help. It's immature.
We can harness some of the energy by eating it! It's not particularly efficient given how little energy it gives though, and not particularly enjoyable without being combined with other energy sources.
DWARF is very useful. I've used it before to generate prototypes from object code. We should really have a lot more tools that use it.

It’s just not enjoyable, the shark jump was years ago.

I live in an older apartment building so it's not an option for me unless I want to plan my life around finding places to charge the EV.

I can move to a "luxury" apt with EV charging, but I'm not keen on moving and paying 50% more rent just for this reason.

Tried a few times to buy a house but laughably outbid by double income/tech (Bay Area).

So I continue to drive my invincible 1999 Chevy that gets 30 mpg.

I suspect many apartment dwellers like me would love to buy an EV if we could charge it where it's parked, or were able to buy a house despite our sub-500k/yr compensation so we could install a charger.
I've found it super helpful to frame conversations establishing shared context with "I have no idea what you do or don't know about X" It helps re-center the conversation so that I'm the one who's ignorant, and the other person potentially has an opportunity to show off.
I feel the opposite way. It’s very hard for me to be productive with a messy desk, a clean desk helps me focus

If you're not using Twitter to make money, you should not be actively* on it. Period. You will lose your sanity fast.

If you are, Twitter can be a good place because you have a goal of selling and the trolls/rage become "part of doing business". You can even leverage them to sell more and gain more attention.

*By active, I mean using it daily. It's ok to view individual tweets that other sites have linked to.
They did already? There was a court case when the legislatures gave themselves the power to throw out elections. It went to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court ruling lets them throw out elections.

Prior attempts by states to do this in 2020 and 2000 failed in court, or led to the winning candidate (Gore) conceding, respectively. The 2020 standards that caused the election results to be upheld no longer apply in the states that changed their laws to take advantage of the new supreme court ruling.

What am I missing?
how about Apple at the end of the 1990’s?

They were almost ready to fold, got a new iCEO, and completely turned around to become the world’s most valuable company two decades later.
What are you talking about? The MCU is the first thing to boot. Wait, do you not know what a bootloader is? It's not GRUB.
There is a lot of truth to that. But I do want to raise the obvious point that the War in Afghanistan [0] was almost seen buying alcohol legally.

Democracies are great at sustaining long aggressive wars despite it being a really stupid thing to do (the US destroyed a lot of its own wealth & the opportunity costs were jaw dropping). There was never really a question of the US army being unable to achieve military objectives.

I find it ironic how polarizing and toxic Twitter has become, so I welcome an extreme change of ownership.

Granted Elon is intentionally trolling Twitter folks and after all the legal threats and comments made by staff, I don't blame him.

I say, let's see where it goes. I welcome the change and it seems like even Jack Dorsey does as well.

Perhaps Twitter is staffed by middle managers who sell well in interviews but have zero fucking clue.

I’d like to see Twitter fire the cottage industry of professional non-contributors that has seeped into tech for the pay.

Employees like the TikToking “Facebook PM” who showed off 20 mins of emailing for work and the rest of the day brunching/lunching with their crew need to go.
I have mixed feelings towards the whole acquisition story but the amount of racism and vitriol towards Gadde due to her highly controversial content moderation policies is obscenely high. I spent five minutes in Musk's "utopian" Twitter mostly going through the trending news topic of the acquisition and right wingers from US and India have been spamming the threads with ad hominems against her. Makes me glad I don't browse Twitter in general.
