The stats don't say the investment per child should be less. They say an argument they skew strongly in favour of early over late are bad stats.

Well, I'll wear that. I still think early education should be paid better and be trained to recognise development issues and help triage them, and to impart good habits. Can they instill or improve them? Fair to question. At least they can make sure they happen, experientially per child.

I don't think teachers at kindy can make Michaelangelo happen but yes I do think they encourage rich experiences and those help kids build better, stronger pathways in life. If you don't get to play with water and scissors and pencils at home, kindy is where it happens. And learning how to control your temper, and deal with other people.

The persistent biter who'd been brought up by grandparents on the end of a piece of string and the firebug with adhd? Nobody was going to get rid of all of that. But some kids arrive at school unable to even hold a pencil or recognise their name or distinguish numbers from letters and they may wind up inside the normal range but they're getting a harder start.

There was also a lot of deliberate misdirection to cover intelligence sources, many of which would probably persist in history to this day.
Xorg has a lot of accumulated hacks that make scaling work ok-ish. It falls apart when you have multiple monitors with different scaling, but for a laptop, just close the lid when you dock it and it should be good enough.

Wayland, after much feet dragging (why this wasn't a day-1 feature for a supposed Xorg replacement is beyond me), finally managed to cobble together basic support for non-integer scaling [0], so it should finally Just Werk (tm), regardless of if you scale at 2x, 1.75x, etc. without looking like a blurry mess.

I don't have experience with 4k displays in laptops, but I will say this: considering AMD's ongoing problems with idle power draw on >120 Hz displays [1], I'd recommend not getting the 165 Hz display if you're getting an AMD CPU.

Possibly some broader sensory issues as well.

There are some interesting theories about this, for example the idea that people who are more generally separated from the sensory world on the daily (idea people, planners, etc) are by definition less acclimated to and possibly thus turned more completely on/off by sensory phenomena of varying kinds.
Do you have an example of a such a laptop at 25-50% cheaper?

The models I've seen from Dell and Lenovo with 4k screens and 64 GB ram tend to be in the 2500 EUR range.

And, for some reason, you usually can't get this much RAM and a 4k screen with an AMD CPU.

HP has EliteBooks with upgradeable RAM (both slots!) so you could do your own upgrade, but you'd have to put up with a ridiculously crappy screen. I also don't know if they've upgraded to ryzen 6000.

Is there a similar dilemma for comments? If you are in discussion (or argument) with someone online and they stop responding, is it because they have become convinced? Is it because they have come to the conclusion that they are wasting their time trying to convince you that you are wrong? Did they get bored and wander off? Are they busy or go to sleep and might respond later? Did something happen to them?
You can’t. Marketing scales in a way that working with your hands can’t. A marketer who is 5% better than the next best person is worth paying much more than 5% more because you’re in a competition for attention that’s close enough to zero sum. Being the Coca Cola of your market is worth much more than being the Pepsi. Paying ten n times as much is worth it. Similar dynamics do not apply in the trades. Someone who is 5% faster is unlikely to be worth twice as much never mind ten times as much.
Well then if businesses do not require data, then the "AI world" might need some.
So changing practice to be a machine learning engineer might not seem too bad.

> Now at a FAANG, obviously had layoffs recently. The emotional vibe is somewhere between the two above. Coworkers that came from tougher places (finance, Microsoft, Amazon) are holding it together fine. Others are not.

This rings true to me too. Another factor I'll highlight is the average age of the employees. I'm older than most of those I work with. I've been through rounds of layoffs at other companies. It's stressful, but I know how it happens and what to expect. A lot of them have worked their entire careers at successful companies during good times. They're freaking out because they haven't been through it before.
> It is also not good for internal networks where you can not valid out to something like lets encrypt to automate that validation process, sure you could do your own internal PKI and run your own CA for that but......

Or you can set up certbot or similar on a public facing server (or something that can add DNS records to for your domain), and use a secure channel to send the private keys to the things that need it.

I would like to see more of a push to make setting up an internal CA a lot easier though. Because that is probably most correct way to handle that.

I think that building custom no-brand desktops is a pretty acceptable cost cutting measure taken by some companies, so you could pitch it something like “we’re working with a company to build custom laptops exactly for what we need”, or if someone asks about it you can explain it ala “yes, we couldn’t get exactly what we needed so we build a completely custom fleet of laptops”.

Or ideal scenario, with a brand delete you slap a [company] sticker on it and nobody really notices that it’s not a Dell Latitude running Linux.
There will never be a clear cut definition of health, but most people can innately tell what a well regulated body looks like for their culture.

For instance, most Americans know they're fat or obese and that this is not good for their long term health outlooks and will have detrimental affects on other aspects of their lives. Some may choose to be okay with this, but very few sincerely argue that being fat is 'healthy'. Most will try to lose weight (excess fat) at some point in their lives.

Sometimes we remove body parts that are no longer well functioning within an understood ordering of the body. Inflamed tonsils can be removed, large wisdom teeth pulled, even ovaries can be discarded if they're found to be hosting cancers, but all of these are examples of organ dysfunction. We know what is regular, non-painful, and non-disruptive about the human body because many human beings spend a lot of time in that state and most begin life in that state before transitioning to a disordered state. When that transition happens, medical science seeks an explanation for the dysfunction: how did these tonsils become inflamed?, why do wisdom teeth crowd the mouth?, how did this woman's ovaries come to carry so much cancer?

We look for the cause of a dysfunction in order to treat it.

If instead we remove the well functioning breasts of a 15 year old, or replace a healthy penis because a patient informs us that they abhor their member, or prescribe a blocker for an otherwise well regulated puberty, then we have inverted the entire thrust of centuries of medical understanding. We are taking a healthy body and searching for a malady that we have been told must be there. Once there is no longer a discernment between the regular and the dysfunctional for a human body then an explosion of maladies abounds all begging for treatment.

If enlarged breasts are causing spinal issues then perhaps they should be reduced in order to correct those issues. But why not removal? We remove enlarged tonsils, why not enlarged breasts? Surely the removal of them would also correct any spine issues. In fact, it may even be ethically easier as the doctor and patient do not have to contemplate a correct breast size. But of course it is unlikely the patient or doctor ever considered the wholesale removal of the breasts in these cases because both approached the question with an idea already in mind of what a healthy human body would look like despite they're not having any precise agreement on the topic beforehand.

And in fact, we should question the ethics of both vasectomies and birth control. In 2023 these treatments are mostly, though not entirely, considered mostly in the pursuit of carefree pleasure and fun. Why should either be condoned? We condemn being fat on entirely the same terms. Often Americans are fat because they eat too often and always in excess due to eating feeling good. If one doesn't praise obesity, then what ought they find desirable about self-imposed sterility?

Of course what compounds these ethical concerns is that in these cases the subjects are children. On the whole this takes the acts from merely questionable or wrong-headed to monstrous.

"The way we use interest rates to control inflation is socially destructive, unfair and inefficient"

Everyone seems to be forgetting that the Reserve Bank has been telling the government for years and years that the housing market is out of control and the government needs to implement policies (e.g. tax changes) to reign it in. The RBA can only control one thing: the cash rate.

So, government after government have shied away from any kind of reform and relied the RBA to do the unpopular thing. They even chastise the RBA in the media.

So now we have a true inflation problem and the thing that the RBA has been warning successive governments about is unfolding.

But who is everyone blaming? The RBA. Idiotic.
The article is pretty useless frankly.

The mystery about how Rentec makes a ton of money is very real - nobody seem to have a clue. It's most probably indeed due to some excellent math / engineering work, but could very well be a fraud too - wouldn't be a first time that something is 'very secretive' for a reason.

Regarding scaling: If you use 2x scaling it should be easy with any distribution. Fractional scaling is a bit trickier to get.

I am using a Framework with 1.5x scaling using Fedora KDE and it’s amazing. Didn’t find any app yet that doesn’t conform. One difference to years ago is Wayland vs X. With X it was a constant struggle for me while with Wayland and more years invested, scaling became a non-issue on Linux (for me).

Regarding burp suite, iirc this is a JVM based app. I am running Jetbrains products without any issues and no configuration needs. Assuming burp suite uses swing, I would assume no issue. Generally, you can quickly check with a VM. Using Fedora KDE is a great „Just Works“ experience.

> One of my friends even blew all his McJob money on an external Zip drive.

Ah...I recall doing this too. Funny to remember so much of that money going to buy the best possible hardware for the least amount of money.

Like I thought I won the lottery when I got a deep discount on an OEM AWE32 card that came loose in a cardboard box, literally bare and rubber-banded to a pile of floppy discs. Just so I could have low-latency midi and load soundfonts into the card.

The zip drive was frustrating though. I got to college and had all my HS portfolio work on a zip disc but no drive anymore. So I bit the bullet and bought a drive, thinking it would be a while before that format was useless.

Functionally I was right but for practical purposes I never used the drive much after copying my files over. Especially after hearing about the... Click of death issue I think it was called?

Funny memories.
The speeds officially supported by a CPU's memory controller tend to lag behind the speeds officially supported by the fastest available memory modules. This gap got pretty wide toward the end of the DDR4 era: Intel's current CPUs that support both DDR4 and DDR5 only officially support DDR4 speeds up to 3200MT/s, but there's little reason to equip a desktop with slower than 3600MT/s memory given the state of the DDR4 market.

6400 MT/s is similarly beyond the fastest officially supported DDR5 speeds for CPUs. But the fine print reveals that this machine is actually using soldered LPDDR5, which is officially supported at 6400MT/s or higher by pretty much every processor or SoC that uses LPDDR5(x). Ditching the DIMM slots really does make it easier to operate the memory bus at higher speeds.

Star Labs needs to correct their site to not refer to LPDDR5 as DDR5, because they really are different types of memory and only one of them is upgradable by the end user.

Partial agree on the privacy thing. It does make me feel better not to have an eye always pointed towards me no matter what I'm doing, so I do see value in being able to disable it physically. However, being paranoid enough to want to physically remove the webcam is an entirely different ball game than having a webcam cover and silently doing your thing, so I assume that everyone agrees that this is just a marketing gimmick. For the mic, I can see the argument that putting your phone away is easier than not having any sort of modern computing device around when you want to not be recorded, and so that could be useful for some people (but I agree: a very limited number). You might also consider that people currently don't take these privacy steps because it's inconvenient. If it were as easy as flipping a switch, maybe people would use it after all. Having the option isn't bad.

> Why would I buy this over a lenovo for instance.

Lenovo tells you to install Windows when there is any doubt that it's a software issue, and of course that's an easy doubt to cast. There is no support tier that will support Linux, let alone coreboot. Want to apply firmware updates? Again, get yourself a Microsoft license. At least, that's what I hear from colleagues, I don't have a Lenovo currently.

Also, competition. I'm not sure how many other modern laptops still have 5 USB ports, especially when considering the large 85 Wh battery and the gimmicky screen you get (in case anyone cares about >60 Hz or 4k at 16"). It does seem like a rare combo and not a bad one.
With this new functionality, users can now easily record a voiceover narration while creating visual documentation and add it to their project.

I don't have an answer to your primary question, but I can say that latency has gone up dramatically as speed has increased. I remember back in the original DDR days, CAS 2 was the stuff to get. Now, we see CAS latencies in the 30s and even 40(+?)!

China is weakening. Centralization of power is making the government brittle. The government is deeply unpopular domestically, and there is no outlet for this resentment so it's continually building. China has no real allies; most countries, especially their neighbours, deeply distrust them. China's demographic outlook is terrible; the population has peaked and they've transitioned directly from enforced one-child to hardly anyone wanting more than one child.

China is indeed extremely powerful but it has peaked.

Your comment strikes me as interesting because you mention an image obsessed society but then you make some statements about image that seem to suggest a personal endorsement of this standard. Let’s hypothetically assume that your statements about failure to be perceived as they wish are 100% true as well as the idea that we should be less image focused are true too. Why should they or anyone else care if they never look like their desired gender if they feel better and lead productive lives?

I develop products much faster with automated tests.

And people always ask if it's really true every time I say that.

What I've found is that you need to reduce the friction to writing tests, if you want them to get written. Once it's easier to write automated tests than to test manually, the benefits are a lot more clearer.

Manual testing has a much higher, but hidden, cost.

If the friction is higher, tests will be forgotten amid the pressure from stakeholders and deadlines.

Once you discover the benefits of low friction automated tests and write testable code by default, even you don't practice TDD by the book, you can get some of the benefits mentally.

And if you are using static typing, the amount of tests you need write goes down significantly.
