Alas, it's got a 16:9 screen with its infamous ugly chin :-(

I'd like a chinless 16:10 or 3:2 goodness (or 4:3), even if it was at a hefty markup.

UPD: it's a 16:10 display, but the chin is still ugly.
If only they would make a laptop with an AMD processor, no discrete graphics + someone makes a decent keyboard with a trackpoint for it, I'd immediately buy 2, I don't care about the price. It's also likely that I'd be able to convince my employer to switch from thinkpads to this. Btw, it's ironic that the much cheaper T series Thinkpads work much better with Linux and are much more reliable than the X1 series.

Intel processors of this generation are just not energy effiecient and run too hot.
Sure, but that's like saying "I've built a puppet, my next step will be to give it a soul". If they pull it off, it'll be a huge accomplishment and a breakthrough, where this stage isn't really doing anything that exciting.

Yet "capitalism" is actually the best way to limit that power of powerful people and make status pretty closely linked with ability.

In every other attempt at forming different societies (from feudalism to capitalism) it's generally the ones good at power games that win, not the ones with the actual best abilites.

It is said of Stalin he was the best power game player ever born, he was equalled by no one in power accumulation games.

The possible exception to this is small tribes, where it was usually the people who added the most to a tribe that got power (if you were a power game player two friends could basically topple you).

But we're not going back to tribal life, so there we go. Capitalism is still the best of all the bad systems we have.

Read: Harry Partch - Genesis of a Music. Or: Meyer - The Musician’s Arithmetic.

They explain music based on fundamental acoustic/aural/sonic principles, instead of all the accumulated cruft of western music theory. You first have to understand that the ratio of 3:2 is, after the octave, the maximum consonance that two tones can have, before you can treat it as a "perfect fifth" which is so-and-so many steps on the piano keyboard. They explain that "modulation" is the process of treating identical tones in different senses to go from a context in which one sense is dominant, to a context in which the other sense is dominant.

This is the kind of stuff that you'll probably pick up anyway from standard western music theory, but putting the aural logic front and center is what really made things click for me.
So just train a GPT on sensory input, etc.

His prediction #4 rings false to me.

And this popular insistence that GPT has no 'world model' is also false IMHO. If a GPT is trained on real-world sensory data, it will develop a spacio-temporal 'world model', almost by definition.

LLMs are trained on human text. Their 'world model' is the world encoded in that text, rather than as sounds and retina images, etc, and so it's inconsistent, incomplete, and 'unreal' in a way which is easy to expose.

But there is a 'world model' of sorts there.
Do you have any sources for the claim that the songs written, composed and co-produced by Jackson were actually just bought?

Most of the songs I went through from Jackson where he appear to be a writer, as the history of him writing and producing the song. Of course, he got plenty of help. But I don't think it's fair to reduce him as using ghost-writers/producers for his songs, people seem to be properly credited.
It is not legal, but the advantage is that you don't have to deal with shady software like that pirate KMS server. Even though it is a breach of contract because it is not how these licences are supposed to be used, it is still recognized as genuine by Microsoft, so you get all the updates, etc...

You may get your license revoked it the seller get caught and as a result, you may need to get a new one. As an individual, you are extremely unlikely to get into more trouble (same thing as with cracked software), but I wouldn't use these licenses as a business.
There are interesting technical solutions for preventing sensitive informations from leaking that could probably enable a somewhat safe use of ChatGPT and the likes in a corporate context.[0]

Multiple organizations ship Linux kernels which do not support the original x86-64 system call ABI at all. Old applications only keep running because these applications are dynamically linked against glibc, and the system glibc version is new enough to use the new system call ABI. Some Linux subsystems are curiously exempt from the ABI stability, or different ABIs can be provided through compile-time or system configuration. Either way, as an application developer, you cannot be sure which ABI will be available.

On the glibc side, it's challenging for us upstream developers because a lot of people assume that we do not aim to provide backwards-compatibility, so they do not bother reporting compatibility issues. I suspect this perception is there because one of the backwards compatibility mechanisms we use prevents running binaries built on newer systems on older systems. (New programs use a new symbol with a backwards-incompatible change, old programs get the old implementation.) But that is not actually about backwards compatibility, it's requesting forward compatibility.

The goal is to require recompilation only in limited scenarios: static libraries and object files not yet fully linked, deliberate dependencies on undocumented internals (e.g., internal struct offsets), and dependency on behavior that is not standards-conforming (e.g., non-sticky EOF on stdio streams). And in the latter case, it's often possible to add a kludge to maintain backwards compatibility.

I'm using this 5-bay USB 3.2 drive enclosure [1] and the official Framework 3d printed case [2] in polycarbonate ordered via Craftcloud (the Cooler Master case would have been both cheaper and easier!)

I also looked at TB4 disk enclosures, but the bandwidth was overkill for spinning rust hard disks. There's a lot you can do with 4 USB-C/TB4 ports. I also have a Coral USB stick connected for frigate.video inference and a 2.5Gbps USB NIC (waiting for better thunderbolt 10Gbps NICs to become available). One fun convergence is when I want a keyboard / display / mouse I can plug the mainboard server into the same thunderbolt dock I use for my laptop peripherals.

Our modern system of policing traces its roots to slave patrols and is a few hundred years old, at most. For the overwhelming majority of human history it was an ad-hoc community organization more akin to a watch. We get police from the Greek polis (city or polity) by way of the Latin politia (citizenship). The US idea of a civil force salaried and charged with deterring crime is something we inherited from England with the idea of "keeping the king's peace". We have slave patrols to thank for marrying the watch to the militia. [0]

Your last sentence ignores the possibility that the LAPD, a department downright infamous for its police gangs, could be a contributing or even causative factor for LA crime being, as you put it, "out of control".

For Anton Mirgorodchenko, a Ukrainian refugee born with cerebral palsy, supported eye tracking hardware is too expensive, and speech-to-text isn’t an option—it doesn’t understand him. Instead, he uses a physical keyboard, despite his disability.

“Do you know how to type parentheses with one finger?” he asks. “Holding down shift with your nose.”

That hasn’t stopped him. He’s worked as a freelance developer since earning his Master’s degree in Computer Maintenance and Networks in 2012, and recently, he started exploring how to use ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot to better communicate and write code. Our emails provided a particular delight, as he likely realized a similar point—not long ago, our communication would be improbable, if not nearly impossible.

“Just imagine: I'm responding to you in Ukrainian and omitting about 60% of the letters from the words, but ChatGPT understands what I am saying and provides an answer in English,” he wrote in an email. He offered an example of how he composed a sentence.

Mirgorodchenko: h m n s Antn, m f ukr. im dev w cplsy.

ChatGPT: I think you are trying to say: "Hi, my name is Anton. I'm from Ukraine. I'm a developer with cerebral palsy.

Think before you speak and realize that there is nothing to gain from being "right" when all that is at stake is ego.

This is factually wrong. All major HSM vendors offer ways to backup and replicate keys, it's usually done using key-wrapping keys. Here's an example: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/datapower-gateway/2018.4?topic=m...

All cloud vendors offer the same functionality, if you think about it, so it's not an obscure feature.
In 1996 I was paid to teach Unix to a group of customers. As a graduation work for my course they had to write an awk program for budgeting without use of any databases.

I don't know (I'm just a Brit watching from afar), but I'd assume the LAPD have databases full of information on citizens, of course not shared with the public web, only shared with police forces, mostly. The public web though is how citizens share information with each other, I'm not sure excluding police officers would make it better.

Seeking an equivalence here also strikes me as a false equivalence - the power balance between an LAPD office and a citizen is not equal.
You can swap them in a bios on Thinkpad (which is Fn-Ctrl-Super-Alt anyway), then it works everywhere. Maybe the Framework can too? Your keys will still lie to you, but I feel like this is a pretty minor thing to worry about.
Linear Constraints: The Problem with Scopes
> Your argument is basically the domino effect meme with Stanford Party Policy on one end and Global Culture on the other?

this is an exaggerated straw-man version of my argument, but yes. colleges are a training ground for young people during their formative years, a place we send them to intentionally change their personalities and come into their own being away from their parents. One college isnt going to topple the global culture, but calling bad things that happen at college "hyperlocal" is obviously wrong.

> If every element of campus life could randomly and capriciously be escalated to the national stage, how could anyone possibly expect kids to learn how to take risks or make mistakes?

i dont understand this argument. the article we're commenting on is about exactly this type of oppressive, no-mistakes, no-learning regime the college administration is creating. the media coverage isnt about highlighting mistakes students made; the media coverage is escalating to the national stage the exact thing youre complaining about. a girl got a conduct violation for intentionally spilling coffee and then killed herself.

Their instructions could stand to be more thorough. If you have hashed hostnames in your known_hosts, you don't just have to

ssh-keygen -R github.com

you also have to

ssh-keygen -R 140.82.121.3

which is the IP address for that host. Otherwise you'll get something like

Warning: the RSA host key for 'github.com' differs from the key for the IP address '140.82.121.3'

If it was used to replace generic stock image with beer, I might be fine with it. As an illustration generic picture of beer cup without powder or branded packaging would have been sufficient.

It's role playing, I don't know what else to tell you here.

It's clarifying that they're talking about the moon landings not using it as a framing device. At worst it's a redundant word you can skip over. It also emphasises the point.

Monologue means one "speaker". It has nothing to do with how many people are listening. You can practice a speech in front of other people who listen, you can practice alone.

Because this is advice around the social parts of the jobs where you need to interact with others. Your bio says you were a project manager, surely you can appreciate there's more to building software & running a business (and this advice is not limited to that) than coding alone.

> The private key was exposed in a public GitHub repo.

How do you know this?

Github runs scanner for private keys in public and private repos and notifies owner (I did it once so I know ... ;)). So some Github engineer likely would have received such an email if what you say is true. Hilarious.
That's a good tip because it is in fact the same language with various dialect and naming differences, similar to the many flavors of English we have today or different variants of German. Montenegrian is the latest addition to the family.

However, everyone I know has a common understanding about this, so I'm not sure who would be reluctant to admit that it is the same language... outside of the very few extremist groups of course :)

Ask HN: Why isn't WiFi calling totally free?
After the recent Android security issue with Exynos chipsets and WiFi calling ( https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/03/critical-vulnerabilities-allow-some-android-phones-to-be-hacked/ ) I took a look at how my mobile provider does WiFi calling.

Vodafone (and many other providers) proudly declare something to the effect of, "There is no extra charge for WiFi calling, the minutes will still count towards your allowance and there won't be a charge for the data against your allowance.".

But if we're not using the cell towers and most of their network (except last mile), and we're providing our own already paid-for data connection... why would WiFi calling count towards _any_ allowance since it incentivises behaviour that reduces costs for telcos?

Is this purely a "They found a way to reduce their costs and still charge us?" or is there more to it?

Seems like the "product" is made by a art collective (https://mschf.com/ - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSCHF) based in New York. Since it doesn't seem to actually be available, it seems to just be landing page with graphics, rather than a actual game/program. Vaporware essentially.

Still, really funny idea and I'm sure it'd help someone to file their taxes (if it's real), as there seem to be people really obsessed with anime or dating sims out there, or a combination of both.
The problem with getting rid of bad apples with time is the amount of damage even one bad police officer can do given half a chance, and even if they are punished for what they did it would not erase the bad things they have done. Policing violations are often violent and the effects long lasting.

> For some reason Apache gets bad rap for being old and slow while in reality it's still a pretty damn good at what it does.

There's a few actual reasons for why this might be the case, because in some configurations Apache can indeed be somewhat slow.

.htaccess: if you don't disable this mechanism, the web server might do a bit too much I/O, their docs describe it all nicely and it's good to pay attention to this, because you won't always need .htaccess in the first place https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/htaccess.html

mod_php: some don't bother setting up PHP-FPM properly (assuming that you want to run PHP apps with Apache) and instead reach for the legacy module which has considerably worse performance than the alternative https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HTTPD/PHP

Once I get some more motivation, I'll do a real world comparison of Apache, Nginx and probably Caddy as well in a variety of workloads. My intuition tells me that Apache will still be slower, but not to a degree where it would be a non-starter for the majority of the projects out there.
