The ThinkPad Z series is the flagship AMD line of the ThinkPad brand, combining a Ryzen CPU with a Radeon GPU and a premium build. Unfortunately, the Z series also removed the physical mouse buttons from between the keyboard and the trackpad, replacing them with a small area at the top of the trackpad marked by slightly raised lines and bumps. TrackPoint users are mostly unimpressed with the new setup, since resting your thumb on the trackpad area can accidentally trigger a click, while the physical mouse buttons required force to trigger a click.

Lenovo puts TrackPoint users in the position of choosing from energy-inefficient Intel ThinkPads, AMD ThinkPads with sub-premium specs, and the high-end Z series that is handicapped by its lack of physical mouse buttons. Lenovo can do better.

(No, gluing a sheet of flax to the top cover does not make up for taking away physical mouse buttons. I don't see the environmental angle either, because the flax arguably makes the aluminum cover less recyclable.)
That not what RLHF is. In the thunderdome, as in chess, you don't need human judges or an oracle to know who's won. That makes a significant difference to the training procedure.
MyPy and friends have made this much, much better. In the long term it's probably not ideal for very large systems in many applications.
From a society point of view, it doesn't really matter "who" wastes it. Ultimately, the outcome is the same: Someone spends time on something that society does not benefit from.

... sidenote; I personally think that something completely inefficient "is not that bad". Much worse is work that is directly detrimental for society as a whole, even if it does make a few people rich. Now that is terrible.
I agree. And yet that is human nature and I hope it is not surprising and inexplicable.
I'm certainly not advocating making those foods more difficult to access. Exactly the opposite, in fact. I think we need to make access to healthier food cheaper and easier.

As far as there being no severe side effects, it looks like semaglutide was looked at for medical use in 2012 and didn't go to clinical trials until 2016. Then there's tirzepatide, which I think is the part that's the big breakthrough recently, wasn't approved for use until the end of 2021. I don't believe we have the data yet to really say that it's safe long-term. I sure hope it is, but this is a very new treatment.
Isn't that basically Bumble? All that happens is the woman sends a low effort 'Hi' and then expects the man to pick up the conversation from there.
So you know better what "they" need than corporations like Apple, that add trilions of dollars to their market cap based on their smartphone sales?

There is a very small minority of people who prefer smaller phones, but they make a lot of noise.

No one buys small phones - hence why iPhone mini was abandoned and most Android OEM's smallest models have at least 6.43'' screen
The late David Grabber had a great book about this - Bullshit Jobs.
And when you draw the line, we do keep a lot of work and a lot of jobs around purely because if we don't a lot of people are going to have a lot of free time to ask a lot of questions about the way that the world works. And the very foundation of our system is that you have to go work, sell your labour to make someone else rich, then buy things to make someone else rich and eventually die.

I don't think it's fair to categorize the first PSP as a failure. It did very well market-wise, even though it did not sell as much as the DS.
Right now most of the features are available under the MIT license. For example, absolutely all the integrations, CLI, API, etc are available like that.

Basically, all the features that are needed by individuals and small teams will always stay completely free.

Some of the features that we are thinking to make proprietary are audit logs, sso, role-based access controls. Would love to hear your thoughts on this, because this is still in the very active stage of development!
Its awesome. Get it. I thought the 7 inch screen would be annoying but it isnt (its close to your face, so it seems bigger). You can also dock it and use a larger one and enjoy a linux operating system to boot.
Do you find ChatGPT is good with C++?

In my experience, it does very well, but then suddenly is very confident of something that is wrong.

Maybe its like this for all languages, but it seems way more accurate with python.
A cop or a bus driver, sure.

But why is the janitor at a city hospital making twice what one at a private hospital makes (inc benefits) while a doctor at a city hospital is making half what his private sector counterpart does?
I understand that such sites are paid to avoid maintenance. But if the scale is not too big by renting a vps, I think it is always more logical to set up your own system. Unless of course you want to get your hands dirty.
I've actually ordered a 3A5000 cpu and mb combo off aliexpress to get something setup for doing software testing. I'm not sure if it's the best place to get things but it's very easy to find at least.

I'd also recommend checking out https://blog.xen0n.name/en/posts/tinkering/loongarch-faq/#im... if you're planning to seriously look at getting something to play with, and avoid the older Loongson systems and they're pure MIPS and not the new LoongArch64 that's being talked about in the article here on HN or the linked page from me. The LoongArch64 is basically MIPS instructions but using RISC-V instruction encoding and some changed semantics (things like getting rid of the MIPS delay slots and things) to make for a more modern design on the silicon.

I've not yet received my board (should finish in customs this week based on tracking numbers) but do plan to document what I run into when getting something setup.
I found out I had sleep apnea mostly due to coincidence. Eventually I got jaw surgery to fix it, but there is a surprising anecdote:

Shortly after I started using a CPAP, at a networking event I met someone who worked at a mental health clinic, and he told me that many of their patients with schizophrenia had a pressure setting of 18 or 19 bars. Apparently disturbed sleep can cause some rather severe mental illness.

I was at 16 bars at the time. (I no longer use a CPAP post surgery.) About a year prior, there were a few times that I wondered if something actually happened, or if I was misremembering a dream.

It makes me wonder if some severe forms of sleep apnea can make dream context confusing enough that it's hard to bucket memories between dreams and actual events?
The same way Bukele cleaned up El Salvador.
A comparable would probably be m6a.2xlarge, still only $250. Larger burstables have higher baseline cpu so they’re more like dedicated CPU, hence the low price difference.
That’s what I get from reading all these comments here.
Absolutely. There's definitely a risk in being too picky. You should be somewhat picky; you don't want to date just anyone, do you? But you also need to understand that nobody is perfect.

As with job candidates, meeting 50% of the requirements is pretty good. The important part is that they've got enough to interest you, and that their annoyances (everybody has some) is stuff you can tolerate.

Of course there are red flags that are immediate dealbreakers; don't tolerate those. But be prepared to find someone who may be completely different from what you may once have dreamt about, but who may still be right for you.
Penny wise, pound foolish move from yet another tech company.

t3chfest ought to get one of those "kicked" stamps from a bar (used to indicate when a keg is empty and the beer on the printed menu is no longer available) and stamp it over every single one of the paper Couchbase ads. Hilarious to think how much brand damage they can do with a move like this that saves them... a bulk order of office coffee worth of money?
This is absolutely not true, because most of the industry uses Python for web services and serving web pages is still the same thing as it was 20 years ago. You scale by bringing in more processes.

Multicore concurrency is still a pet use case because high performance is still a minority of applications and async programming is not necessarily faster, per many benchmarks. Most companies will rewrite the high-performance component in the proper manner and continue to do everything else the way they did.
We also have expensive housing. And our healthcare system is a sick joke, pun intended.
Sure, I personally like the Graviton instances. For workloads that care more about throughput than latency, they offer excellent performance-per-price.

The OP was asking what was "most comparable" to Fly's offering. I assumed they meant "what would similar performance cost elsewhere".

By switching from Intel to ARM, they're buying something fundamentally different. Maybe it's a better fit overall! But I didn't understand that to be what they were asking.
They haven't made a 64-bit version for the Pi yet, and Mathematica is not a menu option when you setup 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS. The traditional 32-bit version is installable on 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS if you enable packages for the armhf architecture.

I wonder if anyone knows when the 64-bit version is coming? From Wolfram's point of view, keeping the binaries restricted to armhf might perhaps be taking the place of more onerous copy-protection or licensing features.
You can easily upgrade the 64GB if you decide it was too small later on.

Not everyone is looking for probably PC gaming, but everyone is looking for good games. People will by Switches just to play games like Animal Crossing. Regardless of if they intend to use their switch in a portable fashion. A similar thing could happen with the Steam Deck, but there doesn't seem to be any exclusiveness.
At different rates though. You can absolutely choose not to pay the lazy-tax and buy from a different vendor that doesn't employ an army of people who do nothing, you can even build whatever it is you need, but you can't easily choose to not pay the taxes that the government collects for the same purposes.
Like cassete drives, unless they're particularly high end units (unlikely) they will most likely have rotten/badly conformed belts and seized lubricants by the time you want to recover your data.
There are stories from the late 1800s/early 1900s of people creating private mail delivery services as competition to the US Postal Service.

There is even a story of the Federal government forcing these companies to make sure that the letters had postage even though they were NOT being delivered by the USPS. Customers would actually pay a premium over the postage to the private company because the overall experience with private company was better than the USPS.

I am wondering if something similar is going to happen with AWS: more and more private companies will charge a premium for services built on top of AWS (and therefore reliable) but much easier to use.

(I imagine this is probably already happening and I'm sure HN folks will point out examples).

PS In the end, these private mail companies were deemed illegal and went out of business.

Is this different from good old `zip`?
> Why not train like a professional athlete and just eat a balanced diet...

Because professional athletes are anything but "balanced". Professional sport is about abusing your body as much as you can possibly get away with, and then some more. For a normal person following a pro's training plans or diet could be the worst thing they could do to their body.

> science says fat is less energy-available than a simple source of carbohydrates

Yes, keto is not a panacea. If you do keto, you will most probably not be the fastest you can be. But you will be unstoppable. If you do carbs, your peak performance should be higher, but for a shorter time. Choose one.

I think what pros (eg. pro cyclists) do is that they try to find the best of both worlds - they train a LOT in lower intensity zones so they get very good at fat burning without actually reaching keto, but they then supplement it with the right type and amount of carbs during races so that they don't lose sprint power. But this is only my theory, I have never been a pro, and never been close to these circles.
You can also see this the other way around — it's a testament to how slow some other stuff is.

Which, to be clear, is not intended to be a negative statement about that "other stuff". It really depends. Some is. But I've also seen things just done poorly by applying tools wrong, e.g. ORM misuse leading to thousands of queries that should have been one OUTER JOIN.

But I don't think you need engineers of their unique calibre to get most of what they got. It's probably an exponential thing, if you have some merely good engineers you could maybe achieve 80% of their performance. The last 20% are just much more costly.
Yes, completely agree, I omitted the part about not just modeling binary outcomes for the sake of brevity. I was even considering linking the article Capital One: Exploiting an Information-Based Strategy [0], showing that one of Capital One's innovations was successfully modeling more complicated outcomes like profitability.

I have run 30-40 miles per week since I was 15 to the age of 40 so far. The period I have injuries are correlated to the times I am not also training kung fu. Since kung fu involved a lot of deep stretching and yoga like stuff, I think the trick to running is probably just to also make sure to practice yoga seriously and you’ll be good
I've never met anyone who had a Masters degree that was better for doing it. It seems to just be a tickbox thing people do.

US military spending exceeds the next 10 nations COMBINED. Of those 10, half are allies (UK, France, Germany, SK, Japan). Surely, we could cut 20%, still outspend our rivals (China, Russia, India) by >30%, and be ok?
+1 for government. I work with state and local governments a fair bit, and while there’s a lot of red tape and weird politics, the overwhelming majority of clients I work with are smart, capable, highly mission driven people doing their best in a system designed to move slowly. Being able to look back on a project and see a positive impact in a community is way more rewarding than trying to move the needle on click through. And the pay cut for public sector consulting isn’t as much as one would think. Especially for federal.

>> Heck even an M2 MacBook + Windows VM would do.

> I seriously doubt it...

And you're right to do so. I've been a pretty hard-core gamer for 30 years. I also ran Linux on the desktop for almost 20. I've tried every version of Wine and Crossover and Cedega and PopOS to play games. Let's put it this way: I never got rid of my Windows partition.

Since buying a Mac, I've tried Parallels, bought an external GPU, and bought 2 MBP's with the highest-end graphics I could get. Let's put it this way: I sold the external GPU, and bought a Playstation. I've wasted a LOT of money on these experiments. TL;DR: Can confirm gaming on a Mac sucks.

(I have a couple of games on the Mac, like Civ 5 and Gloomhaven. The first runs OK, but the second I have to detune to almost the minimums, despite having a "Vega 20" GPU. Bite me, Apple.)
Thank you for pointing this out! Will try to fix this right now!

I bought a 64 GB and replaced the SSD with a 256 GB ones myself almost immediately. From what I've heard reading from an SD card is fast enough anyway, but if you regret the skew you buy, upgrading is not much of a hassle.

That being said, if you are afraid of opening it up, maybe go for 256.
This has to do with how our underlying cryptography works; it's end-to-end encrypted by default with opt-out ability for integrations that need it. You'd have to manually login to Infisical and grant that permission but the platform itself would be unable to read your secrets otherwise.

Technical details: In Infisical, secrets are stored in vaults (we call them projects). They are encrypted symmetrically by vault keys for which there are multiple copies of vault keys encrypted under the public key of each vault member (your teammates). Vault members decrypt their copy of the vault key locally and use that to decrypt secrets (in browser or via CLI similar to platforms like 1Password and Bitwarden); this client-side decryption process makes it impossible for the platform itself to decrypt the secrets itself.

What is meant by users having the ability to give permission to Infisical to access/read secrets is to share a copy of the vault key by encrypting it under one of the public keys of Infisical — we employ an abstract concept of "bots" that have public-private key pairs assigned to each vault. When you share a copy of the vault key with Infisical (which can't happen without your explicit action), it grants Infisical the ability to access your secrets for integrations like Vercel, Render, GitHub, etc.

Dana long championed the perfection that is the Quadra 605, and even got a PowerPC emulator running on it, then booted Mac OS X! It was a fraction of the size of its contemporaries, could have an FPU with a simple m68040 swap, could run at 33 MHz with a trivial overclock or 40 MHz with an overclock that's a little more work, its VRAM could be extended to a full megabyte, and it could take a 128 meg SIMM, giving it 132 megs.

I have a Quadra 605 which compiles NetBSD pkgsrc binaries named after her :)

I think it should be applauded, even if small, for doing what you can with what you have. Lenovo is an integrator, they don't make any of the chips, but they make the case. That's how we do better. Everyone in their own little vertical changes what they can and we hope it adds up. Any one thing is insignificant, but together maybe not.
At best you would get rules about this particular implementation and training approach. I don't see why we would expect those to apply to AI generally.
I don't think curves are a technological problem for a segmented display. You can easily make curved segments and dots. Its all just an LED behind a window painted over with the negative image of the curve. In principle you could make a display that is optimized for OCGDU rather than EIFHTL.

Much like latin characters, at some point a segmented display is just going to have to compromise on the tradeoff between correct an the number of parts. We see it work just fine casting the curvy latin letters to squares. So the real question I reckon is how much can you mangle the diacritics / curves / other parts and still read it? In other words, what is the bandwidth redundancy of this writing system?
Thanks for the earplug recommendation. I don't have sleep apnea but I'm a very light sleeper so the slightest step or a car going by makes me wake up. I assume this was very beneficial when my ancestors would be attacked by a neighboring tribe or a mountain lion but it's not so great now. lol.

I usually just use CSV earplugs but my hears wake up hurting almost every morning. I considered using the Bose sleep ear buds but they're a bit expensive so I'm going to try these out first!
I dont pc game. I dont have space for a giant tower, etc. My main computer is a laptop (x1 carbon). The steamdeck allows me to enjoy all the awesome pc games, stores in a drawer, its portable if i want it to, and i dont need 4k 1000fps, 1080p and 30 to 60fps is plenty to single play with q screen on my couch. I am not a professional gamer, i dont need a full desk worth of gear. I am also busy, its nice not to worry about hardware, just plug and play (i did upgrade the ssd myself though). Its a great device.
Proving fair use is legally complex, and to be blunt it is very possible you are incorrect - in any case, it is unlikely a lower court would judge on it at all given the complexity rather than referring it to a higher court (note this is a generalisation as parent doesn't identify the territory they are in, but it's a reasonable one).

Also note that YouTube's ContentID process is not a DMCA process. It is a privately negotiated system that YouTube have come to a commercial arrangement with various rightsowners in order to minimise their legal liability. You have no come back against this, because they are not DMCA notices at the first stage to be improper.

If you want a video hosting service that is going to have your back on this then you are probably going to need to use one that is more expensive than free, and quite possibly demonstrate that you have indemnity insurance.
Curious, why would there be?
A funny headline, given that I was just reading up on the history of the "Black Ghost", a nickname given by other racers to a muscle-car which would dominate Detroit street races in the 70s, but never hung around to socialize. The car would just show up, win, and disappear, sometimes for weeks or months, before surfacing again to win, and again to vanish. Nobody knew the driver, nobody could get a look at him, and he was trying very hard to keep it that way.

This blew my mind, as I'd heard about this car in the 90s from a car-nut uncle, during the time when nobody knew the story, just that the car had stopped showing up in the mid-70s and nobody had ever seen it again.

Only in 2014 did the owner reveal his secret. Ultimately his reason for laying low is much more lurid than simply being a pacer like today's clickbait headline.
