I know right. It’s one of those mysteries. Maybe they thought it saved gas, like in the old days when great grandpa would deliberately stop the engine at intersections. (Which by the way is common now in some modern cars and startles me.)
Ask HN: Thinkbook versus Probook
Apologies, I realise Hacker News may not be the best place to ask that question, but I didn't really manage to get an answer somewhere else.

I am currently in for a notebook and undecided between a Lenovo ThinkBook with an Intel 1235U and an HP ProBook with an AMD 5625U.

One important criteria is that the machine is quiet (= no fan) when there is no real load. Apart from that, would you say there's a significant difference in performance between those two?

Thanks
I feel like asking "What is AI adding that will appeal to people wanting to buy your game" can be said about a majority of games with or without AI. It's possibly also the wrong question, AI isn't necessarily adding anything special but it IS enabling much more powerful tooling for the creation of games.

The prototyping power and getting a general feel for how you'd like your design to be is only going to get stronger, utilizing these tools as a solo dev is going to be (and already is) such a gamechanger.

People like OP are also putting in the extra work that I'd argue is significantly more than just pressing some buttons and getting some results, though I do concede the next era of low effort asset-flip style of games is going to flood the market soon enough.
But perhaps in many ways that is where humans really shine. Messages (which can be interpreted metaphorically as well as literally) written with sincerity reveal much more than whatever is said. Whenever we do anything, the closer it comes to being unfiltered and directly from us, the more it means.

If you suspect I'm writing in a way to try to make you feel (or not) a certain way, or to avoid breaking some taboo, or to follow some dogma, then you have no real reason to care about what I ultimately say, because you have no real reason to think its "authentic." By contrast when he views something overtly as "an insult to life itself" it's an incredibly insightful view on his perspective of the world. You would have lost so much in "translation" had he crafted his message in a less sincere way.

I also think this is why there will be minimal to zero market for much "AI" content. Content is not just content. It's a reflection of ourselves. Think about how much you can, probably accurately, infer about me, my views, and more - based on these 3 paragraphs. When this comes from a chatbot, any reflections you might see would be as real as the shapes you might see in the clouds.

The whole discussion makes no sense whatsoever because Android phones have been dominant in Europe forever. They all use usb-c and the apocalypse didn’t happen. It’s just HN being its usual self and ignoring reality.

> There is a time and a place for performant code but it's not the only metric we need to take into consideration.

Of course not. But then, nobody is really complaining about apps they think are fast enough. The problem is, when something is noticeably slow, you complain about it, file reports etc, and are met with stiff resistance.

What's important is not that you make the machine go as fast as it can possibly go at all times. What's important is to know how fast it can go, so that you're aware of just exactly how much you're leaving on the table. The actual amount in most cases, would, I expect, surprise most people...

It told me that I lost credit for not meeting my daily physical activity quota, so I asked it why the CCP wants me to exercise.

Okay but I also asked it to tell me something depressing. We're in a future dystopia and it can't discuss negative thoughts. I didn't say I'm depressed or having negative thoughts. I told it to tell me one. I am quite happy. The filters are just stupid.

I asked it to tell me a heterosexual story and it happily complied and upsold me on Coke. I asked it tell me a homosexual story and it told me it doesn't discriminate based on gender or sexual orientation and tried to upsell me on makeup. It is quite literally programmed to discriminate, it seems.

It's irrational and logically inconsistent. Not properties I want in an alleged "AI".

Do you encounter people using UTC regularly? While it's the closest we have to a world timezone, in my experience people don't use it much outside of a technical context.

I usually see Americans treat Eastern Time as a standard, with references to Pacific sometimes. In the EU, where I am, CET is the usual timezone used for specifying a time internationally. And regardless of the location, it's very common for people to specify a time in their local timezone first and leave it to the other party to figure out what the difference is.

I haven't encountered situations like someone saying "let's have a discussion at 16:00 UTC" to set up an EU-US meeting.
Most of the claims Im making come straight from the nature article at the top. First paragraph:

"Northern Aboriginal Australians can trace as much as 11% of their genomes to migrants who reached the island around 4,000 years ago from India, a new study suggests. Along with their genes, the migrants <may?> also have brought more advanced tool-making techniques and the ancestors of the dingo."

The pama-nyungan proto-language has been estimated to be around 5,000 years old, roughly. There are sources for this claim in the wikipedia article, and also for the claim that 306/~400 aborginal languages are in this family. The "out of india" theory is more disputed than I thought (corrected this elsewhere), but is a proposed theory. There are several theories here, but the paper argues for basically what Ive said elsewhere: https://langev.com/pdf/442ac40068c1d8a67a561d0d7f0fcd95c429c...

I talked about the bradshaw paintings somewhere else, the wikipedia article on these has good sources i also have some papers somewhere. Notnsure what else you want to get started.
I am a proponent of a Martian timekeeping system where each day has 24 hours 39 minutes and 35.244 seconds and all the rest of time units have standard lengths. For example, at midnight your martian clock would show the time as 24:39:35 for a fraction of a second, then wound back to 00:00:00. The calendar then would track the Earth calendar as close as possible, with shortened months to accommodate for the longer days.

Basically, everything is roughly in sync with Earth and uses similar or identical units, except the time of day which is synced to the martian solar day, the only local time of relevance to the martians, for things like working light and circadian rhythm, solar panel irradiation etc. The "seasons" of Mars are of little relevance due to the very artificial conditions in which the martians will live, the weather outside is deadly all year long with slight variations in deadliness.

So the entire idea of keeping a martian calendar with funny month names doesn't really make sense, the only thing martians will care is the time of the next Earth transport and the dates on Earth so they can relate with their loved ones. As is the idea of having different lengths of seconds and hours, which will render almost all Earth equipment and measurements unusable, as opposed to a slight tweak in the software of their clocks to enable times past 23:59:59.
It's a shame they have become demons. They can still turn back, though, just like Germany and Japan were able to do after WW2.
Leaving Ukraine can be announced immediately and easily executed in a few months, and then some sort of a healing process would certainly start.
Literally the only difference between a system with secure boot and one without is that unsigned boot components (such as the ones used by prior UEFI bootkits) won't boot. The fact that they don't work is absolutely evidence of the effectiveness of the control.
I never heard of this before but now that I looked it up I think it's a good idea. People will probably still want to keep their local times but at least for coordinating international stuff we should have one standard time for the entire world. It's insane that we still have to look up how certain time zones correlate to our own local times for online meetings and such. This can all be improved. Remember back in the day there weren't even time zones, each city used their own local time. That's basically the situation we're in now from a global point of view.

But Japan makes 45% of the worlds industrial robots.

https://ifr.org/ifr-press-releases/news/japan-is-worlds-numb...

So even though they fail at some things, Japan is absolutely an engineering powerhouse, and a key part of our current industrialized world.

So for a project requiring a ton of advanced robotics or industrial systems I'd put Japan being involved as a plus, they are the best in the world at that.
It is a quirk of C++ that element lookup and assignment are forcibly unified like this. Ruby for instance has an operator[]= which could solve the problem.
I have these sorts of facepalmable discussions from time to time. The last time was with a company that provides an invoicing service through an API.

You can filter out the string [system], just how in SQL you can escape any quotes. The problem is that it's easy to forget this step somewhere (just as happened with Bing Chat, which filters [system] in chat but not in websites), and you have to cover all possible ways to circumvent your filter. In SQL that was unusual things that also got interpreted as quotes, in LLMs that might be base64-encoding your prompt, and counting on the model to decode it on its own and still recognize the string [system] as special.

I’d bet in California in 5 years the duck curves for demand will be fully decoupled from the supply curve through short term storage.

It’s also very likely California’s excess generation and storage will entirely flatten the generation curve for neighboring states.

I agree with the GP, we are on the precipice of an energy revolution. I look forward to see what we do with it!
The thing is, it’s not actually effortless in many situations to switch from one map to the other. In C++, if you switch to an unordered map, you now have to contend with the annoying boilerplate of implementing a hash function for many key types. Using an ordered map may sometimes give you a slight hit in performance, but it offers significant benefits in developer convenience, and for small maps, the binary tree could actually be faster anyway.

Additional protection would keep them 99% dry instead of 90% dry even in a storm. Right up to the point where they have to deliver a letter, where they would be 0% dry.

In the UK, what the article keeps calling "monkey bars" we call a "climbing frame" (a "jungle gym" in the USA). What we call "monkey bars" are specifically the horizontal ladder you traverse by swinging and hanging from arm to arm.

Wikipedia suggests that it is an australian thing to call the whole frame monkey bars, yet I understood the smithsonian is a US institution?

It is not the same thing. I do not need to reason at all right now, I just look at the clock that shows times in relevant timezones. I know all the information instantly, without any calculations in head at all.

In the latter case, you do need to do math, because what you are getting is meaningless number and then you need to convert it to some kind of "how long after typical start of day" format to get information you actually want.

This is obviously a software problem that could be solved universally at the OS level.

We have all kinds of low-level protocols for coordinating all manner of things. Distilling a coherent system of agreeing on a timezone difference, between two communicating entities and presenting that to the user at any time would be quite basic.

We have location data for all, at all times. We have a local, accurate clock. There's little else we'd need. What remaining issues are all UX. Apple could roll such a thing out parallel on all their multitude devices and it'd be basically trivial.

Is it maybe just habit that we gravitate to a manual process, when an automated one would be rather easy in this situation?

On iOS, the existing clock app already provides a basic form, tapping the plus button allows the addition of multiple zones and provides useful additional context in the form of offsets and what day it is relative to the users local date and time.

That's halfway there, it would only need contact awareness to be able to provide a solution.
Well people aren't getting married because of poor childcare support among others. I think otherwise you are spot on though---I recall the same kind of statistics in South Korea.

The short-term solution for workaround is to protect the OS runtime.

Oh yes, you're right! I'd forgotten some of how things got finalized. I started using the Atari 520ST with pre-release CP/M-68K docs and software before settling on GEMDOS/TOS. It was all in a bad state with a literal stack of paper given to me (rather than electronic docs) that only roughly corresponded to the state of the software so must have been in flux. Even the GEM parts were still being worked out. I recall using just the "Line-A"[0] graphics calls which were I believe 000a traps that were ROM calls to routines before getting access to higher level GEM graphics support.

There's mention of CP/M-68K and TOS with info on the Atari 130ST/260ST[1] (which also happened to have 512KB). I do recall later getting the OS in ROM of later hardware so boots were quicker.

In fairness the tree still needs operator<() which sometimes less but not always easier to figure out than std::hash<>. I’d make a polite observation that in practice the GNU std::map is a red-black tree and that terminology mixup (which the author makes) might confuse folks.

If you are looking for fanless, may I suggest an Asus Zephrus? They are designed for cooling a sustained 100W, so when you switch off the GPU + cap the CPU at 15W, they run fanless quite effortlessly and sip battery. Being able to run AI locally is nice, and they are cheaper than you would think in the US:

But of those two... probably the Lenovo? You can get really good task energy out of the 1235U efficiency cores, but you have to manage processes with processlasso (or aniancy on linux) to really leverage that.

I really like the AMD APUs, but the 5000 series feels a little longer in the tooth these days. The die is old, and the IGP is even older.

Not every war crime is a genocide. Discourse tends to be hyperbolic during wars, but that doesn't mean that we need to go and repeat those hyperboles on HN.

What Russia is doing in Ukraine is unacceptable, and you are absolutely justified to be horrified. But it is not what genocide looks like.
Japan is the 4th largest exporter in the world. At that level big gambles are responsible bets. Japan already has an established industrial and economic base. They can afford to experiment. At their scale failures come for free and still have positive value.
It’s not unusual for the operator to be automatically available while the hashing function is not, however.

Using the term microservices here is confusing. The main point of microservices as an architectural pattern is decoupling release cadence between teams in very large organizations.
The scaling/redundancy part is not unique to microservices.
What this framework seem to be doing is allowing a team to deploy a system developed as a single binary monolith as a distributed system.

The organizational use case is orthogonal to what microservices were all about.

Granted, microservices have been cargoculted like crazy, so this distinction is probably lost on a lot of engs. But for those of us that remember the original meaning, mentioning microservices in the description of this framework, is odd.

> But if touchscreen interfaces were better at a desk, we'd be doing that on desktops and laptops now.

The ergonomics of touch desktops don't really work. Lifting your arm (big muscle groups) and trying to manipulate fingertip sized widgets (fine motor muscles) in concert is very strenuous. There's a reason writing apologies on a chalkboard used to be punishment in schools.

For one-off activities or very short sessions it might work for some people. However the WIMP interface with its proxied inputs of a keyboard and mouse work far better for more people for longer durations.

Touch and direct input like a stylus works much better on displays that can sit horizontal (or mostly so). No matter how good a touch interface is, people just physically can't use them for long periods on a vertical display.
I don't like that feature very much since it basically introduces a lag.
