I have to say I'm very happy with it for the price I paid. Could it be better, sure, I wish the screen was better but I'm still very happy with it. I actually bought it on a lark because I'm 49 and I never really hand held gamed. Never got in to it beyond the beep-boop led games of the 70s/80s with boring family road trips. I watched many hand held platforms come and go and never could get in to using them. Always preferred the laptop, probably because with having a game thing I always needed my laptop.

When I would travel I carry a work laptop and a personal laptop and... Then lugging around another device, no thanks... Then that changed with the steam deck, my daughter mentioned it and I was like hell I have money to waste so I bought it. For the first few months I didn't do much with it. Kind of shrugged and continued to use my laptop... but one day I kicked it in to desktop mode to load some mods for a game. It dawned on me, I don't need a personal laptop anymore.

Now when I travel I carry my work laptop, my portable keyboard and monitor (which I always did anyway) and the steam deck with a dock. This perfect,less weight over all smaller form factor etc... Using the deck with the external monitor and keyboard let's me do everything I needed my personal laptop for, plus portable gaming. It goes everywhere with me now.

Could it be better, absolutely, but for the price I'm very happy with it. That's really how I evaluate things price for value. This is way more powerful than a similar priced laptop and more flexible.

Context: T3chFest is a non-profit technology event in Madrid organized by students and alumni. Tickets are free for people under 23, and the rest are 6€ that are donated to NGOs. Everything is paid by sponsorships and donations.

The event is happening in 4 days, so their logo and name is already printed in all the leaflets, graphics, merchandising... and of course it's been in the website for a long time.

The sponsorship quantity is probably less than 5K€, a small amount for Couchbase, but big for the volunteer organizers.

You don't think that complex structures are required to generate well formed text? Human language is extremely context dependent, and dealing with that is what all those macro structures does.

Context dependence is literally the novel thing with transformers, they are context dependent statistical models to generate next words, make it huge and feed it a page of context and it can map those to a page of output to match that context.
> AWS provides 99.5% EC2 uptime guarentees which is ~2 days a year of outages.

> That is not simply acceptable for most use cases and is why a single server just won't cut it.

I agree with your point in principle, but I wonder why this should be applicable to most use cases.

Our national tax reporting system failed on the first day when you could submit taxes that year and has done so across multiple years - and yet everyone just submits their reports a bit later and it's fine in the end. Our e-health system users would be glad to have only a few days of outages per year, instead it doesn't work most of the time, due to the project being an abject failure that padded the wallets of many of who were involved in "making" it. Our national COVID vaccine signup system failed on the first day, even though they attempted to implement queuing of requests, most people were only able to sign up days later. You hear on HN about Cloudflare outages, Google outages, GitHub outages and so on occasionally.

I understand why you might want resilience for something like pacemakers or airplane systems, but surely most CRUD apps or cloud based services out there aren't actually that important, we just make it seem like they are, in fear of users going to competition during the outage or something.
People mis-speak, whether they are smart or not. Someone may have a good idea that they phrase badly and fail to communicate what they mean. Or a bad idea, because we're all human. That doesn't invalidate their intelligence or their value as a person. It is fair to call it out when someone is off... but that should not nullify your respect for them.

To that end, I'm not sure seeking out examples of times when people said something badly is productive.

it offers sub desktop grouping. I too used multiple desktops before this, but with stage manager instead of 4-5 desktops I use 2-3 maximum.
For example I group one desktop for messaging, discord, slack, telegram etc.
One desktop for web browsers and documents, and the other for music or whatever I happen to be doing at that moment. It is way faster than minimizing.

The Vita was my favorite handheld for a while. The Steam Deck is better. OLED is a nice to have but it's not a deal breaker (I have a Vita first gen). The screen on the Steam Deck is solid although not amaze-balls, I imagine it was chosen to keep the cost down. It's not an awful screen like the original 3DS. And hey, I can use a standard microSD card for $50 instead of importing a custom card from Japan for twice the price of the equivalent microSD!

I haven't run into issues like wonky physics and I pretty regularly play "unsupported" games. You can also use literally any USB C hub (~$20) and there's several docks to choose from for like $50. Admittedly the docking stuff needs more work but PC games were not really designed to have the monitor/controller unplugged mid-game so the fact it works at all is amazing.

I think using Linux is what allows stuff like sleep to work better. The Windows handhelds seem to have issues with that.

Most proton games work flawlessly on steamdeck. The only issues after almost a year I encoutnered are related to anti-cheat and DRM.

You can dock it with any hub that supports 45W usb c power and hdmi. There are lot of docks and valid cables online - it's really not that difficult to get it.

So far Valve's support has been great and I'm not sure I agree that their infamous for abandoning hardware. The steam link has been merged into as a software project and steam controller still receives support though is no longer in production.

How much copying is actually happening? I live in the US, and our healthcare system is objectively terrible. There are numerous examples of systems in other countries that provide better care for more people for less, but we refuse to adopt any of them.

First past the post voting is also obviously terrible, and many better ways are available and have had successful implementation, but nothing changes here.

Theoretically what you're saying makes sense, but it doesn't seem to match reality. Instead we just get a lot of tribalism, war, and death.
Waking up several times every night and going to pee is a very common symptom of sleep apnea, I was told by my sleep doctor.

An Overview of PASTA threat modeling methodology
While the sentiment is directionally correct, there are a few inaccuracies.

L3 is not part of Lockheed. L3 and Harris merged to become L3Harris, a huge defense contractor.

It's "Cessna" not "Cesna". They are part of Textron now, now General Dynamics, though they were once.

There are a TON of defense contractors still. Super small ones and some bigger ones (Booz Allen is suspiciously missing; they are huge.) Smaller firms might need to go through one of the big five (or at least someone bigger or more well-entrenched) to win a RFP bid, but that's not exclusive to public sector contracting at all.

Finally, this consolidation is happening in private sector consulting too. So so SO many master services agreements (MSAs) are drawn up by the big four (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Deloitte) and services firms (WITCH, Accenture) because their roots are planted deeply within all of the F500, but plenty of subs still win the work. They also acquire firms all of the time to enter verticals they couldn't (or wouldn't) enter themselves (McKinsey buying Candid Partners to become McKinsey Cloud comes to mind.)
The most interesting thing about the list is that (possibly except NZ) all the places above the US are building tonnes of infrastructure.

>• Valve is almost as infamous as Google for abandoning their hardware and projects.

In what way?

The Steam Machines didn't really take off, but they didn't sell any hardware for that - and they kept supporting the whole software side of things and progressing SteamOS, Proton, etc ever since - making the Steam Deck itself possible.

Steam controller and Steam link are still alive, get support and new functionality beyond the discontinuation of the hardware. The stuff they spawned, SteamInput and the Steam Link app, all still there and not abandoned.

Their VR stuff still gets updates frequently - the Vive, the Index, all still supported.

If anything, Valve are a good example of how to support your stuff long term even when the hardware hasn't sold as well as you'd like. This is really a bizarre view to me and the complete opposite of my experience as someone who owns at least something from every 'category' of hardware product Valve released. None of them feel abandoned whatsoever.

I share here with you all that sleep apnea can be cured. I helped cure a friend by using her genetics and diet/life changes. No more mask. And her fatigue an peripheral neuralgia is gone.

It had to do, for her, Vitamin D3, catalase, and selenium. This increased her somatostatin levels, growth hormone levels, and lowered her H2O2.

https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/abs/10.7326/0003-4819-121-7-...

Genetically, she is predisposed to very high levels of IFGBP3 and very low levels of catalase. She also has hasimotos (autoimmune thyroid) which I am sure will go away next.

The word "currently" is doing a lot of work here. Just a year ago that stance was still treated as heresy.
Let me begin by saying that we're not unfirable. It takes a bit more doing, but you can either be shown the door eventually or reshuffled into a go-nowhere job with no responsibility that'd otherwise be done by a new hire or something.

Don't know if you've experienced this where you work, but we love to complain bout other union employees in other departments. I've done it and heard others do it more times than I can count. "Oh, this work is being sent to so-and-so? Good luck." "You have to get a report from that department?" - that kind of thing. There's not exactly a deep and abiding sense of union solidarity or anything.

Just, most of the credit for broad disfunction, at least where I work, goes to management. Too many of them doing too little. Politics, chasing around every silly idea that pops into upper management's head, working to justify what they already decided, that kind of thing. When a big project here fails, that's the talk around the water cooler, at least. I don't work at MTA but I guess most big organizations would be similar.

Your thought experiment is framed as if it delivers a relevant insight. It doesn't—the conclusion is neither insightful (it's pretty facile and obvious—no need to walk through anything), nor is it dispositive for the actual subject at hand.

What is claimed, and what is in contention, is the inability to find developers.*

I could show you some people who don't like to (or can't) eat peanut butter. That's a completely different matter from demonstrating that nobody will eat peanut butter. Your ∃ is not an ∀.

Second: That an employer who wants to hire will have to either pay more (than what they are currently trying to get away with) or lower its standards is a pretty straightforward restatement of what I was already saying. That observation is, again, not some sort of insightful riposte—it's just, you know, arguing for my position...

I used to play games on: a Windows desktop, a Mac laptop, a PS2, a Wii U, a Switch, a GameCube. Now I play all the same games and more on just the Steam Deck. If that isn't ultimate idk what is. Every single other gaming device in my house is toast now.

With my knowledge. Quit assuming people are naive haha. I'm aware that some people may get bounced. Chances are it was me that set that setting that bounced them.

If you got bounced from a Cloudflare fronted site it was more likely the site admin wanted to bounce traffic like you than Cloudflare acting nefarious. Have a browse through the settings some time, see what's available.

I'm pretty sure it's a single toggle in Cloudflare to enable my site on a tor domain too. Can't find the setting right now (on lunch, not used to mobile dash) but I've seen it somewhere.

> If you can easily turn off the CDN and still serve your traffic with reasonable performance, then you are not

Yeah that's easy enough, no worries. The bits I use Cloudflare for aren't strictly site performance related (cache close to the users is handy, of course) - I can make a webserver purr with the best of them.

I can't afford to deploy servers globally and anycast them right now. Not to mention the administration burden. I could, sure, with the right budget. I don't have that budget.

Might be a little pain moving redirects somewhere else but nothing I'd need to cancel plans for.

• It's repairable and can be easily opened
• Software is open which is increasingly rare there days

• Battery life isn't the best but I almost always have power source near me
• Valve did awesome job with handling controls in games with Community layouts etc
• I finally found sense in USB-C where I switch between Deck and Macbook with a single cable
• Hacker community is vibrant
• It's an emulation heaven :)

The only effective way to preserve is to transcribe.

Think of it - how many ancient texts survived because we found papyrus in a jar in some cave? The Ancient Greek works and other things were mostly preserved by monks and others making copies over time.

I consulted with an archive a few years ago. They had acquired from records to be preserved from another entity - delivered on circa 1997 DAT tapes. That was challenging to recover circa 2017, in 2030 it will be very difficult and expensive. Ditto for MDisc.

In most cases, an imperative example in a curly-bracket language (JavaScript as one example) has the same number of parens and curly brackets as a Lisp has in parens. They're just in different places.

And, the non-Lisp languages tend to have more rat droppings => , ; . etc.

f is a function which takes two arguments, adds them, and returns the result.

Clojure: (def my-var ["hello" 123 (f 10 20)]) -> my-var: ["hello" 123 30]

([""()]) -> 8 noisy characters

JavaScript: const my_var = ["hello", 123, f(10, 20)]; -> myVar: ["hello", 123, 30]

=["",,(,)]; -> 11 noisy characters

Obviously this difference becomes more pronounced with longer argument lists or array element counts.
