For me, there are basically two "categories" of new Windows laptops that I'm excited about: innovative form factors, and compact laptops with RTX 40-series GPUs. As much as Nvidia has been charging ridiculous prices for desktop GPUs, it looks like laptops using their GPUs aren't going to cost crazy amounts this year, and DLSS 3 Frame Generation should be a huge benefit for laptop gaming.

In terms of innovative form factors, look at these:

- A laptop with a nice OLED screen and a Color E-ink screen. This seems like an incredible combination, although the 60Hz limit on the OLED screen is unfortunate: https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/5/23541379/lenovo-thinkbook-...

- This dual screen (dual OLED, even!) concept seems like it would be challenging to pull off, but every hands-on review I've seen was really impressed with it, and I can totally see use cases for this: https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/5/23518872/lenovo-yoga-book-...

- The Flow Z13 is like a Microsoft Surface with an actual GPU and a 165Hz display. This one isn't as appealing to me as the two above, but it is neat: https://rog.asus.com/laptops/rog-flow/rog-flow-z13-2023-seri...

In terms of the other category,

- The Acer Swift X 14 comes with a nice 120Hz OLED screen and an RTX 4050, so it seems like a nice, balanced laptop, but I wish it had the option for more than 16GB of RAM: https://youtu.be/va3OmoYHKYs?t=298

- The Flow X13 now comes with up to an RTX 4070 and 165Hz display and up to 32GB of RAM, and this is significantly more compact than the Swift X 14, but the display is not as nice as an OLED. This is also a convertible, so you can use the 360 degree hinge to make it into a tablet: https://rog.asus.com/laptops/rog-flow/rog-flow-x13-2023-seri...

- The new Zephyrus G14 is probably the one I find most exciting, offering a 165Hz MiniLED display that's almost as nice as OLED, as well as up to an RTX 4090 (Laptop) and 32GB of RAM, but it is about the same size as the Swift X 14, so not as small as the Flow X13: https://www.techradar.com/reviews/asus-rog-zephyrus-g14-2023

A number of these also have user-upgradeable RAM, SSD, or both. I really like OLED, so it's great to see so many options for that, and MiniLED is going to be significantly more common this year than it was last year. It would be nice if my M2 MBA offered OLED or MiniLED.
Some nice alternatives for querying JSON via CLI include jello, yamlpath, and dasel.
yeah they're used a lot. I think the difference is json is good for data or apis you want to be easily shared, flatbuffers (or protobuf or captnproto) are good for data that stays internal. That's just a guideline and there are plenty of exceptions but it's a starting point to thinking about it.

The politician responsible for this bill was replaced since that discussion, and the content of the bill has been changed significantly - some of the discussion of 6 months ago is still valid, but you can't rely on what was said then to form your opinion of the bill as is going through Parliament.

The original minister has not held back in her criticism of the changes.

> Considering the complexity of a SoC like the M1, that there is zero documentation for it, and the Asahi team can only reverse-engineer it, what are the odds that they just don't know the magic bits to twiddle to get this functionality?

I'd consider that very low because you've got a lot of eyeballs trying to get the most out of a COTS easily available hardware. The goal is to make it the best-in-class Linux support. Personally, I believe it can be done.

I follow their progress with great interest, as some of the non-technical limitations of the macbook (OLED and touchscreen) could easily be fixed.
Running a TOR node to fight for "freedom" is like handing out plutonium to laypersons so they can fight nuclear proliferation.

Many many years ago I was hired to convert a Fortran app to C. The first person to try it ran it through a software called "f2c". It worked fine - but the code was totally non human readable so it couldn't be extended later, so it provided almost no value in this case.
Even without being modular, switches like --strip-debug --no-man-pages --no-header-files net you a fair amount of space saving.

Supreme Court asks for gov't views on blockbuster Apple/Caltech patent dispute
Perhaps McDonalds lies to you in your jurisdiction, but no, I have never seen an ad where they claim that their hamburgers are so-and-so many millimetres tall. I have seen plenty of claims from them about things like the uncooked weight of their burgers, and the fine print always clarifies that cooking reduces the weight.

Perhaps you could share with me the lies McDonalds has told you and everyone else about their food? I mean, sure, it sucks. But the video I linked to above explains exactly why and how the food in the ads looks better than the food they sell you.

Other than that, where are the lies?
If you want to argue this could break legacy products, that's a valid reason why they shouldn't do this.

For new development, however, a nondeterministic default ensures no one relies on accidental behavior and is good practice. Golang did this with the order of traversing a map and it's wonderful in practice - if you want to depend on an ordering, sort it yourself.

Is there any good writeup about using them that is easy to follow? With drawbacks on using them in prod?
If the title of the article was instead, "Tesla video promoting self-driving was scripted, engineer testifies," this article is probably mostly ignored. Take a loaded term like "scripted," which some interpret as "faked," and here we are. Of course the video was staged, the engineers were asked to make a video showing it's capabilities. The only part worth arguing over is if someone could interpret Elon's tweet as meaning I could jump in a Tesla and have it do all of those things without me needing to do anything.
The internet has replaced growing up on tv, rock and roll and video games. Before then, the wrong books.
It never sold that well and is being phased out of Nissan's range:

While they were a dime a dozen in the bay area and a handful of wealthy urban markets, its been hugely outsold by the more expensive Model 3 and Y despite being on sale since 2011 and didn't sell anything close to Nissan's hopes for the model.

> I think the problem with off-the-shelf solutions here is that these aren't flexible enough.

Too true. I am using ready-made Loop Habit Tracker on Android (mentioned in another comment), but I am slowly moving to track things inside Obsidian, which is free-form Markdown editor. Using Obsidian's Dataview plugin makes it really simple and has this advantage of being absolutely flexible that you mention is important. Doing it freehand inside Obsidian (with some prefilled templates and Dataview plugin) makes it really close to your CLI solution in terms of flexibility. Still, your solution sounds cool. :)
Why wouldn't parallel construction be perjury, even if the real search was legal?
Think about who actually suffers if you punish a company in this way: the customers, and the employees, most of whom did nothing wrong. That is not justice.

Punishing people for something they did not do is wrong, period. And collective punishment is widely regarded as a violation of basic human rights -- it's even banned by the Geneva conventions!

Furthermore, the possibility of such a punishment would have a chilling effect on business to an extent that would seriously damage the economy.

For all these reasons, no responsible government would enforce that kind of punishment on a company, and even if they tried, it would be struck down in court.

Punishments for a lot of corporate rule breaking are viewed as a "slap on the wrist" because sometimes the rules that were broken just aren't that important. Similarly, we don't usually put people in prison for speeding.

PM2.5 concentrations tend to be very high around smokers. I live next to one, and even though we're separated by a door and he smokes in his own apartment, the smoking frequently pushes air in my apartment above 200 µg/m³. (I have 3 years of data to prove it.)

Since the outside air is typically even more dangerous here, I can't simply open a window and have to use air filters to combat this.

It’s about scale. When you show a video of the car driving itself, you’re implying it can do it in similar arbitrary scenarios. When the car can only drive itself on a route with an ultra-HD map, yet your business model doesn’t allow you to collect ultra-HD maps across the country, and you don’t mention this in your video, you’re committing fraud.

Waymo and Cruise can drive SF because they limit the number of scenarios and they collect ultra-HD maps for that tiny area. Throw a Waymo van in Knoxville, TN and it fails left and right, even in similar scenarios due to the lack of the quality map.
I'd like to see gambling given the same scrutiny too. We have endless ads running during sporting events in the UK these days with betting companies boasting about how many of their users are using features like bet limits and it boggles my mind. If your entire advertising budget is being spent trying to persuade people that you're not evil, then maybe you're evil.
> Now that they've caught up with Intel and AMD...

I'm an enormous fan of the M series. But there is an interesting consequence of a couple of fundamental design decisions.

The M series has huge memory bandwidth but look at its focus on I/O. It reminds me of one of the design decisions of the Alto (memory bus was 3/2 the screen refresh rate, a mind-boggling decision for its time). The fact that the M1 can go in an ipad is insane, but is enabled by the way the M series was designed. Their design for long battery life while drawing onto directly connected displays is unmatched.

However I believe that same decision has hobbled the M1 in a way that may make a Mac Pro version "impossible" (i.e. too much change to be worth doing). M series are optimized to dash rapidly then quickly go to sleep.

I feel the Intel and AMD guys are still thinking of sustained performance, a holdover from the desktop world and its mainframe, or at least minicomputer roots. Psychologically their mobile chips look to me like scaled down desktop machines.

If my belief is right, AMD and Intel aren't really catching up on mobile, while Apple will probably never produce a Mac Pro worth buying (for me they never were, but I'm sure there are people for which they were a great deal).
Apollo is so popular that API revocation would lead to a category 5 shitstorm among power users.

We were using protobufs at Spotify and ditched them for simple JSON calls on the client side. No one complained, and never going back to having anything like that on the client side if I can.

Just too many drawbacks.

For server to server, they might be fine, but to client just stick with JSON. (which when compressed is pretty efficient).
I don't think any of this is hyperbolic. I think anyone with a Stratfor subscription has known about most of these economic facts for months.

I'd think any homeless type camp would have all kinds of drugs around it in the dirt. This is as useful as when the cops used to take people's cash by doing checks for cocaine. Guess what, they pretty much always test positive for cocaine (90% in 2009, https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/cocaine-o...). Also true for drug tests on people in some cases (https://johnhelms.attorney/police-still-using-inaccurate-dru...).

I'd believe that some law enforcement wants to have tests that almost always test positive, just like drug dog checking just does what the handler wants, because it is convenient to get people arrested when they want to.

(Depending on your definition of compression, my monitor shows more colors than there are particles in the Universe at 1 billion frames per second. It's just that there's a little bit of quality loss from the compression.)
> but giving the people who run the servers for ChatGPT the ability to inject their own morals and political beliefs is a very real concern for people

You are concerned about what you perceive as post-facto editorializing. But I think that glazes over the fact that human bias and politics are already built into every AI learning model at the data-labeling phase. No AI model is ever really pure or unfiltered, they are fundamentally a reflection of how the developer views the world from the outset. I am not really bothered by any additional guardrails put on to make sure it errs on the side of caution when it comes to certain topics.

This idea that you should be able to use an AI model without any understanding of who built it is false. It's like reading the news. You know that certain publishers have their political perspectives, and you can read their perspectives while understanding their blind-spots and motivations and you can choose to believe them or look for other perspectives or have a nuanced understanding of the topic. The same is true for AI usage. Research the team that created it, read their ethics statements, and decide if that model is right for you. It's a literacy problem, your rights aren't being taken away because of someone's design choices.
Well Apple could add the extra 8GB keep the same base price and still have higher margins than any other PC OEM.

Of course why would they do this if they don't have to...
The 14” is 360g (0.8 lbs) heavier than the Air. The 13” (which is little more than a heavier air) is the one that’s 160g heavier than the air.

And percentages are not at all misleading, the 14” does feel a lot heavier.

Are those humans that nudged it representative of the population?

Or were they mostly "woke" Silicon Valley employees? (not to dismiss woke Silicon Valley employees, I'm just saying their opinions are not representative of the entire population).
I don't know if I'm just a bad programmer and everyone knows something I don't, but it seems to be the benefits of a strongly typed language are wildly overblown. It's a different way of thinking about building software and it saves you from a few mistakes you could otherwise make, but you'd think I was writing code with a hammer and chisel the way people on HN talk about languages like Ruby. It feels a lot like the people who used to try to convince everyone functional programming was the only way to go and object-oriented programming was for dinosaurs.
> A non smoker who tries their first cigarette is no more relaxed or confident or calm than they were before.

Heh, I can tell you've never smoked.

I'm not a smoker, but did try a cigar once. Combined with alcohol, it was an utterly euphoric experience. Think caffeine times ten, at least. I quite literally dreamed about smoking for a couple of days after that experience.

Does that effect persist for regular users? Nope. But for non-smokers it can be a very pleasurable experience.
Really interesting tool and not even quite sure how the technology works. It's opening it's own browser window (hidden) and capturing the same x/y pixels? Pretty clever.

Also, does anyone know what this new design trend is called? The bordered / minimal-but-not look?
Well, meat is also not good for health (it was defined as likely carcinogen by WHO) and it is consumed pretty much everywhere and every day. Alcohol at least is fun and people consume it more sparsely.
Yeah, this coverage (as is so common with this company) seems a bit off. This wasn't a product in 2016, it was a technology demonstration. How many tech giants have stood on stage demoing products that barely worked, with an army of engineers on site to get it right before the reveal?

As far as mapping the route... that's The Standard Model for this industry for every manufacturer except Tesla.

Ehn, the problem with LR parsing is that it’s terribly slow and can only practically be done via generators, and I have yet to encounter a parser generator that can actually handle error correction properly (necessary if you want anything other than the first error to break everything after).

The theoretical argument for LR parsing is it is more powerful than LL, LALR, etc because PLT seems hell bent on ignoring LL* because of the arbitrary restrictions placed on what a “real” BNF grammar is allowed to do.

Knowing about LR - and PDA/state machine based parsing is useful, but pretending that LR parsers are somehow better than recursive descent is nonsense.
This seems like a spectacular way to break permissions restrictions and escape data to non-authorized entities. If it's successful, it's the sort of thing that will be brutally blocked by IT all over the place.

Very slick, though.
With the recent Stable Diffusion boom, It's been funny that the tutorials requirements look like this: Some beefy workstation hardware or Macbook Air M1.

The unified memory architecture is a bliss and they are talking the truth about some popular contemporary workloads being out of the reach of the most PC.
Definitely, it gets extremely frustrating when you have runtime bugs that would've been trivially caught by a compiler.
Yup, absolutely. It shows that they can provide good results if they want to.
GP asked about the difference between whisper.cpp and my version, not OpenAI’s implementation and my version. By “the original version” in that paragraph I meant whisper.cpp.

On a general note, I believe using ffmpeg or gstreamer on Windows is sloppy software engineering. Media Foundation is a part of the OS and is supported by Microsoft.

For software which deals with video (as opposed to just audio) it’s even more important because GPU vendors directly supporting MF. While installing their GPU drivers, they also installing DLLs which expose their hardware codecs as media foundation transforms. Examples of such transforms are NVIDIA H.264 Encoder MFT, NVIDIA HEVC Encoder MFT, AMD D3D11 Hardware MFT Playback Decoder, and AMDh265Encoder.

You think one drink of alcohol doesn't have a negative effect on your liver?
I hear you, but in Europe it's around 700€, which also buys a pretty solid windows or linux laptop. If you're not locked in to mac, a comparably priced laptop with intel 12 gen CPU, 16GB RAM and a RTX 3050, which is arguably a lot more versatile machine.
I think I would like Mac's more if they weren't so absurdly overpriced (approx. 25%+ over US prices) here in Europe.
> require extra compilation steps like practically every LR parser generator.

It is worth noting that the author's lrpar tool (linked in the article) doesn't actually require extra compilation steps or code generation. This perhaps comes at the expense of less flexible lexing and parser actions. But lrpar comes with a tool 'nimbleparse', which given a grammar and an input file parses the input file bypassing code generation. This reduces the grammar editing/testing cycle by quite a lot. Inspired by that I have been working on a lsp based version of the tool for a while, to make the whole thing as responsive as possible...
The only benefit you've mentioned is writing less code. Which just proves my original point about Laravel being for people who want to get things done as fast as possible with the minimum effort possible, regardless of how much sense it makes.

>Consider Django. There, you explicitly define properties, but link them to the type of database column they'll use. Then, you can generate a migration based upon the model, and then run that migration. I really like that pattern. Removes tedium of writing migrations, preserves ability to modify the migrations, and makes things explicit.

This is exactly what Symfony with Doctrine does, and it's the correct way to do it. The benefits vastly outweigh the "drawback" of having to write slightly more code.
Just to add a couple places to your list that are similar to the national labs:

Simons Foundation (offices in NYC and Berkeley)
Allens Institute (Seattle)

OpenAI would be more research focused as well

I have no affiliation with any of these nor have I worked at any of them, but I'm also looking towards a career in scientific research.
