I recently bought a top of the line Framework, 1280p i7 processor and 64GB RAM, 2TB Samsung 850x SSD.

But these laptop fans are so loud. Even for non intensive tasks like navigating code in an otherwise idle IntelliJ. Or just watching a YouTube video. CPU for all the 20 cores will hover at 20% but the fans will spin really hard.

This when compared to my earlier HP Elitebook 850 G7 - which is basically silent for all these tasks.

Performance improvements are there but not sure if I can continue to tolerate the fan noise. My build times for my projects are around 3mins vs 3:30 mins. Seriously considering if I should return it. But I also want to like it.
Elon M and his well-wishers moved the needle to where it is today. You can't even compare the achievements of Elon M's backers to Meta's or Apple's big stupid bag of cash inflated by overworked subcontractors in China, and India next.
Only the small percentage that was available in the bank's reserves; the money of all the people who didn't get their money out in time was indeed erased.
I've never heard of this. Have you used it?
You can just get the debs or rpms, or the flatpack? I've certainly installed both Debian and RedHat without network back in the floppy and cdrom eras.

money dried up. they will pivot from being gold-mine wisperers to more mudane shovel-sellers.

I expect they will announce either some startup backoffice/HR/admin tool, or some centralized vetting/investment for the masses, like robinhood but for pre IPO. The former is more likely. maybe start as something crap but hyped out of propo,rtion like a founders master classes by subscription.
You can do that with go too, there are libraries out there. But it's all a joke compared to real support in the language.
I actually see elegance and justice in the cold, ruthless capitalist approach; I tend to think of it as tough love... But I don't believe that the system we have today is capitalism and so this cold, ruthless approach is actually unfair.

The difference is that in a capitalist system (with a constrained money supply; an even monetary playing field), when you get tossed out, you can get back up and you still have a chance to compete. In this system, when you get tossed out, it's game over (feels like slow withering away, a constant struggle to stay afloat).

The winners' wealth compounds infinitely beyond the point when it becomes impossible to compete against them. Billionaires are earning enough passive yield on their diversified portfolios that some of their businesses become useless appendages and they can afford to run them as a hobby, at a loss... Yet nobody can compete against those businesses; they're essentially subsidized by the money printer which serves as a compounding interest machine for the billionaire.

No real business which relies on profits from its economic activities can compete against a business which is funded by an infinitely compounding source of wealth.

Given that money is taxed by governments each time it hops between economic participants, it can barely hold onto a tiny fraction of its original face value after just 10 hops (at that point, almost all of it will be back in the hands of government)... It can't stray too far from the government money printer. But that's not a concern for billionaires who earn their yields almost straight out of reserve banks.
Welcome to the Balkans, where this kind of ancient stuff is used as arguments in historical disputes for modern nation building and pride. Whether your genes have traces from the Illyrian, Thracian, Dalmatian, Greek, Slavic or proto-Bulgarian tribes, is a major force in international relations on that peninsula.
This assumes too much and isn't really fair to.
It is! THANK YOU!
Ditto for speaking at conferences, contributing to open source, etc. However the author is talking about building additional income streams, not firming up the foundation for a single primary one.
How is the fan noise in your device. Mine is just way too loud. Running Ubuntu 22.04 and the 12th gen Intel 1280p.
I don't know what the issue is but I've tried esp-wifi on the ESP32-C3 with the examples and nothing would run. It's a bummer since I'd have liked to leverage the Bluetooth support for my project.
Its called HR because you are a resource.
I'd expect any serious dist to already be doing this as part of their release process.
Because that's the term being used for mass firings, even if you don't like it. You can look it up in a dictionary, it's a valid word.
M3 is usually the money measure we care about for the real economy and price inflation, not M1.

M3 is erased during a bank run, because the multiplier from M1 to M3 caused by fractional reserves goes away.
Same here, but I think it's because that's not really a good use case. If you are going to use it to actually run some computations in the backend (that have to be in the backend, say, GPU-powered ML stuff maybe? Or anything else that you can run easily in Python but not in JS) then it sounds like a good alternative.

And that is kinda the problem with current AI. It feels like you give a kid a bunch of books (and an computer with internet access) and tell it "Here are some textresources, now go and learn the words (in case of an text AI), but don't try to understand the wider context of the text you just read.

Shame on YC :(. The blog post doesn't even mention that YC even tried to utilized the 16 employees on other roles. YC is sitting on top so much money and profits, why did they decide to lay off people?

There are good times and bad times. If my company is not with me during bad times, I wouldn't want to work with them.

YC's reputation took a big hit in my head.
What about demanding a salary no less than 50% of the value you add to the company? How many industries would stop being viable if their whole workforce would demand to be compensated for the worst case scenario Every single paycheck? A couple years ago this would have sounded like hyperbole, but then the Great Resignation happened, so there's that...

From that point of view, severance payments are not noble handouts but compensation strategies to reduce the overall payroll cost.
don't forget the "cloud cost engineer", just to figure out how much it will cost to run the 20 services that should have been part of your app with random ways of billing the usage of it
I've been in premium audio my entire career. There are many in the industry who fight the good fight.

The issue is that most of the snake-oil comes from some truth. Here we are at the how much profit is fair debate. Contextualize for your own industry and/or product and you'll find it tricky to justify a 'fair' value for anything. Whatever the market will bear, right?

Audio hardware is one of the oldest electronic tech segments.

'good enough' for even the most persnickety audiophiles happened late in the 1960's.

Since then it's been about repackaging and doodads.

There are a few technologies that haven't found fit yet for market or manufacturing reasons. Some of those will enable big leaps, but require scale and cooperation from content producers.
The problem is with the limiting demand part. Most people don't have a choice.
Thank you for your post. Two questions for you:

1) Did your Masters cover non-deep-learning vision (classical vision?) in sufficient detail? There is a ton of math in there. Going from being a shallow user of OpenCV to a deep one seems a big jump. I'm not sure a Masters focused solely on classical vision would get someone there (let alone one covering other things like ML, DL, etc.).

2) Did you end up training large models from scratch or is it all just fine-tuning? I am trying to do the former and I realize getting things to scale for from-scratch training is a whole other topic. I suspect getting things ready for inference would be similar.

Thx!

That's a use case for a PID loop that I never expected to read about. Though, I know more about motion control than CPU thread scheduling.

Maybe I should learn more about kernel internals.
If I would guess, this kind of wording reflects a view which is quite common in Silicon Valley companies: an employee is an (human) asset for the company to utilize. Once the skill of the employee is no longer needed, they can be dispose of. If I may guess it further, this view might be shared across many high-paying industries.

Tech companies in China had similar mass layoffs in the past few years, which prompted many highly skilled tech workers to seek formal opportunities in state controlled companies/entities. Why state controlled companies you might ask, well, because those companies rarely perform this type of layoffs. Once you're one of their formal employees (not employee of contract), you're set safe for life. And even if some "difficult change" has to happen, those state companies will try to compensate the effected workers with other (often equal, sometimes better) opportunities.

I know Chinese state controlled companies are heavily criticized by western view points, but you have to admit, they treats their own people fine.

I've used about four five different macbooks and some of them def had this issue. The worst ones were the first jumbopad ones, they would constantly pick up my palms or sides of my hands. It quickly ruins your day when you're coding. I tried all recommended tweaks to settings, nothing worked.

My current one, a 2023 14 inch pro, does have a jumbopad but they must have done something because I'm not experiencing it on this one.
There won't be anything practical, but that's kinda the point. This class of problems posits that there is this sudden tipping point where it gets out of control. So by necessity you have to think about it in advance. That's what makes it such a hard problem and why we get such polar opposites in the views on it (AI will doom us all vs AI utopia)
Just check the website and you’ll know.
The website is well respected in the Mac world and their utilities are free since forever

If your point is "do nothing because everything is terrible" then you've missed my point entirely.
You wont be installing software from the internet on mac or windows without a network connection either.

Just as with mac and windows you can install software offline just fine from previously obtained packages.
> You still haven’t given any reasons I’d want a cd.

Not universal reasons to exclusively buy only CDs (because I haven't done so either), so I guess it might fall under your "niche cases", but

1. Some gapless live albums have been released online (both downloads and streaming) in a broken fashion, so getting the CD is the only legal way of getting a non-broken digital release.

2. Occasionally even a new CD costs less (!) than the digital download.

3. Vinyl albums are of course unmatched in terms of cover art, but even CDs are usually still a step above purely digital distribution – sadly the practice of including the cover booklet as a PDF or something like that is far from universal. While of course ultimately the music is the main thing, with a number of albums missing out on the full cover art and/or liner notes is still somewhat of a shame, because they're interesting/funny/informative/part of the complete art package.
The fun thing is that generally, people do not like perfectly flat audio. From a subjective perspective, I think that perfectly flat feels like something is missing.

I think perhaps this comes from our own hearing not being objectively flat in it’s sensitivity.

Personally I don’t want to analyse my music (or my equipment) too hard, I want to enjoy it and the emotional response it invokes in me.
this is a lie - they were insolvent and their assets were worth less than their liabilities.
Even more annoying than the idolization of game devs is when you open up the "Displays" submenu of the osx system preferences application, and it takes several times longer to load than the previous major os version, several seconds!, with the only significant change being a different layout, and constantly trying to ignore how nearly everything takes so much longer than necessary, wasting so much time and energy.

I agree that not everything is like a game, but it makes me legitimately sad when it seems like nobody cares about performance (aside from a few domains).
Or the third option: measuring and using less than their recommended amount
I echo the above, but wanted to an important (to me) nuance for those who pursue accuracy beyond the limits of human hearing.

Usually, errors and distortions stack across multiple system components. While really bad components can be A/B/X tested accurately, good ones rarely can be. Still, imperceptible errors that accumulate/amplify can result in actual, audible differences. One can liken it to floating point computations where the error ranges grow each time and can reach unacceptable levels.
I'm pretty sure Microsoft removed that. I didn't see it last time I tried.

Shift+F10 and the magic bypass command still work, though, but who knows for how long.
> Translation: government enforces property deeds. They are enfoceable.
> NFTs are not

How did property deeds come into existence? Was there a time before property deeds? The point is technology evolves and blockchains offer an alternative to record keeping that is an improvement over existing systems. If governments adopt them for tracking property ownership, then they will be just as enforceable as property deeds.

> The question isn't about modifying the NFT is it. Go and re-read the cases I provided.

The point is the on-chain historical record of transactions can be provided as evidence to a court. A blockchain will not prevent corruption and bribery from arising, but it does represent an unalterable record of transactions. Ultimately courts are the enforceability layer of the government, but that does not make blockchains useless for the purposes of property record keeping.

> Edit: What amazes me about all the cryptobros is their inability to look beyond the simplest of the most simplest of the most trivial of cases. Probably because of their childlike belief in the magic of blockchain.

This seems like your inner bias coming out. There is certainly no shortage of grift in the crypto space. Nevertheless, the technology is real and there are people with PhDs in CompSci and vast amounts of distributed network experience working in the space. I'd invite you to try and look at the technology objectively, because there are some really exciting and cool things happening in the space.
You should really start using linux distributions. These problems are all solved and have been solved for a long time.

Sticky Six Fingered Discount has more of a ring to it, I have to admit.
Real support like what Java has? It literally has sealed classes and interfaces that specify all the possible classes that can subtype it. This is enforced by the language and allows for things like exhaustive switch cases. Pattern matching is a related feature which is also available in Java now, though as of yet only limited to records.
Exploring the opposite: what do unfragile startups look like? I worked for one but the catch is it taking much longer, like decades, to grow to a unicorn, as it is run more like a business. Generally the growth is from reinvesting revenue not outside investors.
That expires in 2024, so perhaps the next version of C++ will have it.
HN is mostly about statups, basically speculation of product and potential market value. Many of us make our livings on speculation.

I think you'll find it's more the case the people here are a) educated on how the technology literally works b) educated on how product as it applies adoption literally works c) able to think abstractly about market need.

NFT as a technology and product... use case is... incredibly small.
Exceptions are an optional feature. Also, if sufficient amount of constructors are marked noexcept, then the variant can never be valueless. Implementations are optimized accordingly.

You also don't have to handle the exception, in which case you won't access the variant again anyway. Or it gets handled where the variant is teared down. It's very unlikely that it gets handled where the variant is constructed or assigned to, making it a non-issue.

Capacitors just don’t work after a while.

To get most old computers working, you have to surgically replace all capacitors first.
The most intuitive and simple explanation that worked for me is:

* if on the 1st try you choose the correct box (33% chance), then the one you can switch to will be wrong

* if on the 1st try you choose the wrong box (66% chance), then the one you can switch to will be correct one

therefore your goal is to pick the wrong box on the 1st try and then switch, and you have 66% chance to do it

> Do you argue against people legally consuming marijuana because the cartels skin people alive?

Skinning people alive is not vegan. Humans are animals too.

> Do you think life in prison or even the death penalty should be on the table for a drunk driver that hits and kills a pregnant skunk? Because that’s what would happen if it was a pregnant woman instead.

Driving over a sentient being with your car is not vegan, skunk or woman, pregnant or not.

I'm not being sarcastic. Vegans are so often accused of not caring about humans that some people actually believe the FUD, and you might be one of them.

I have mixed feelings about AI Ethics as a field.

In one hand is necessary to reflect about the extensibility of such kind of systems due to its potential (good or bad).

However when I look for other engineer ethics frameworks from other engineering branches they used to observe systems on wild, reflect and say “hey let’s agree on this”. Most of the time with more than 20 years of reflection and understanding.

Today we have folks that their only achievement is have a a couple thousand followers on Twitter based on silencing people that is trying to do something to the field via e-mob, regardless if it’s a CEO or an IC that has a different thought frame.

If you have the power to force people to pretend a lie is the truth and behave accordingly, it doesn't matter if they accept it.

A few weeks ago, millions of Americans believed their government was at war with alien spacecraft, or an invasion of Chinese balloons. That was reality. Now that reality has been flipped off like a light switch, and a new reality turned on. As Karl Rove once said "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too."

People don't experience objective, measurable scientific reality, they experience a subjective hyperreality as the sum of signals from corporate media, pop culture and disinformation agents (including their own media and government.) This is what the whole "post truth" theory is about - not that objective reality can be manufactured, but that power comes from manipulating the perception of reality.

And eventually, many people will believe it. Humans are not rational beings that consider truth by the most mathematically precise and logically sound methods available, we are emotional beings driven by the need to square the circles of our lives by any means necessary. That's how propaganda and great lies work. It's how innocent people can enter an interrogation and come out convinced of the narrative of their guilt, to the point of having fabricated memories of it.
