For most people oxycodone presents very little risk, and it is an extremely effective painkiller. But for some people it will ruin their lives, so (at least in Australia) it is tightly regulated.

It's the risk of seriously damaging a small subset of people even if they stick strictly to the recommended dosage that I find strange. Maybe that's the case for a lot of medicines and I'm just less aware of those. But I see people popping ibuprofen like candy and I don't think many of them have even considered whether they might be in that small group of people that definitely shouldn't touch it.
I remember Andrew Ng saying that there is no AI that can ride a bicycle
300 miles, this is like 5-6 hours? You don't want to take a break for 15 minutes to go the bathroom and get a bite? That is all you need to add during your drive if you start with a fully charged battery. It can also be done at pretty much any point besides the first and last 50 miles.
The whole Framework idea is something I never even dared to wish for. I always wanted to build a laptop the way I build a desktop. And I recently built a HTPC by dismantling my custom-built file server, and a device made from recycled laptop parts would have made much more sense. I don't have much use for a laptop at the moment (my current one is from 2017 and I hardly use it), but if I did, I'd go for a Framework in an instant.
The major costs come from continuing a conversation in a chat. You pay for the entire existing conversation, because that becomes the prompt for the next question. This tool doesn't reflect that.
Mir, Unity, now Snap. Ubuntu has a track record of wanting to go it alone.

But, I'm all for competition, long may it continue. The only real negative here is that some apps will only release Snaps, others will only release Flatpaks and people will end up having to just revert to copr/AUR like before.

Choosing a distro is basically choosing a DE and package manager these days anyway - a single unified packaging format that works everywhere is more frustrating than an alternative DE or windowing system.
Tumeric. People who say that doesn't actively work against inflammation simply haven't tried it enough.

I don't know if there is a upper limit but 5-10g in Form of moon milk or tea definitely go down just fine.
> Too many sub-variant models

This is a strength: many parts you can swap (or install later: put that empty WWAN port to a good use!)

> a simple BIOS update is enough to make or break that experience

In my experience, not with Lenovo, but personally I rarely update the BIOS. In fact, I prefer very old BIOSes, hoping for a bug that'll lead to interesting work or exploits: I don't want say the keyboard microcode holes plugged by marking the flash regions read only: that'd lock me out of exploiting them later, say to alter the keycodes!

> No safety in numbers, no network effect:

This is a very VERY wrong take: thinkpads are what linux hackers use the most, on both end of the spectrum:

When they are brand new, you have highly technical people and companies doing fixes or original work (ex: linaro work on the MHI driver for the LTE/5G chip). That's expensive, and likely outside the reach of Framework.

Then when they're old, you've got students, hobbyist etc who find new ways to teach old dogs new tricks: like motherboard swaps (X62, X210 etc)

The framework is interesting, and 10 years from now, maybe it'll be the right choice. Not now, not in the next 5 years.

It's at best a niche choice for people who don't want to tinker too much, and prefer something "average": you won't get bad surprises, but you won't get good ones either.

I like foldable OLED, nice hardware and all that you won't find in a framework now. Maybe later, which is why I really hope they'll be successful!
I would've appreciated some background how this differs from the next Linux distro, and what's the relation to Ubuntu removing Flatpak?
If you've got 40 miles of range when it's new and you're doing a full cycle of the battery twice a day, won't the battery basically be dead weight within 3 years or so?
Or SCSS variables. Which is what I’ve gone back to after a brief love affair with Tailwind.

Not bashing Tailwind. It’s amazing. But I found myself making thatsamefuckingwebsite.com again and god damn if I didn’t want something to look different.

And as soon as you’re writing your own CSS, you might as well just write your own CSS.

Like literally the first time you write your own particularly uniquely styled component and have to mash your own classes in with Tailwind’s you think, hang on, why don’t I just…

Edit: like this site. Just found it via elsewhere. https://www.usebubbles.com/ First thought: justanotherfuckingtailwindwebsite.com
Moved to Fedora for the mess around snaps and I'm not going to look back.
I own a bus pirate.

Today, I'd instead recommend a serial adapter based on FT232H or variants. Good UART speed, hardware handshake if needed, and a bunch of GPIOs.
First time hearing about I3C, its not that common yet. Much faster, parity/CRC protected and they got rid of clock stretching, very nice. Did they also finally solve the hung bus problem?
GitLab team member here.

Thanks for your feedback, and sorry for the trouble. I have shared it with our teams to escalate and come back to you as soon as possible.
Facebook's approach to the Metaverse is a classic example of building based on "what's in it for us", not "what's in it for them?"

Thinking "what's in it for us" leads you to build a universe that you get to lord over. Putting interesting things that people want in it is someone else's problem.

Thinking "what's in it for them" leads you to build a single interesting thing people want. Then you expand it into a universe from there.
Situation is more nuanced than you are making it seem. It's difficult to prove whether OpenAI used copyright data, because of the nature of these models. But that applies to people "abusing" OpenAI's terms as well to produce datasets for fine tuning models.
The reasonable place to measure is somewhere near the river's mouth.

That ship sailed long ago after they excreted the turd that is Windows 8 and its successors.
Take this as a joke but Kubernetes is hard just to create DevOps jobs.

People are crazy good at handling this sort of complexity.
They could do with improving the behaviour of snaps first before removing alternatives. The updates are currently awkward as they don't seem to work if the application is running which can be a problem with something like Firefox which I have running for days at a time. It's also annoying that it's gone from using simple "apt" commands to keep the machine up-to-date, to also needing a "snap refresh".

I choose to use Ubuntu at work for a bunch of stuff, but snaps are making me consider whether it's worth migrating over to Debian instead.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing :-)

(Just saw that you quoted the n+1 rule in the preface, hehe.)
It is truly scary.
inline css does not allow for pseudo selectors like "hover:". It does not allow media queries either. Browser are also slower to process them. So there are a few good reasons to use tailwind appart from standardization of spacing and colors.
It will help, but some changes are very small. For examle adding "faux" (for leather, etc.) to the listing name/description would probably result in a very small text distance, while changing the contents substantially.
Ibuprofen and aspirin can both reliably produce internal gastrointestinal bleeds after a single dose in people with underlying digestive diseases. Over enough time with constant usage, they'll cause that in anybody.
What you are really saying is you want all software developers to publish Debian packages (no such thing as "apt" packages) compatible with your particular Debian distribution, even though they might be using a different Debian based distribution, a completely different altogether, maybe even a different architecture, even though that compatibility isn't their primary concern.
Extinction of steam locomotives derails assumptions about biological evolution?
In a way, this comment perfectly encapsulates why the argument "machines will never replicate human behavior" is so ridiculous. Instead of engaging with the discussion and topic, you chose a position, and then tried to justify it without really thinking about why one example works and the other one doesn't. In doing so you're literally showing that for certain topics, machines are already more capable than some humans.
> "Better" how?

Several metrics. Clearly the only ones you care about is maximum range and minimal recharge/refuel time. But for many others there are other metrics that are more important, where a BEV is better.

For example, for us, being able to recharge at home is a major plus. It's been 6 months since we used a public charger, and our car is used daily. Especially my SO appreciates this, as she hated having to fill up with gas at the end of the day rather than going straight home to sleep. Not to mention it's way cheaper than gas, at least here.

Noise is another one. In slow moving traffic, it's so nice and quiet. We got an ICE rental last year while our car was being serviced (got hit by someone who didn't honor our right-of-way), and we'd completely forgotten how noisy (and stinky) an ICE car is.

Just some examples. Not saying BEVs are perfect, but range isn't the only metric that matters for everyone.

> The chassis, interior, and "technology" in combustion engine cars is largely the same for every manufacturer that produce EV + internal combustion because of economies of scale.

Precisely why I'm looking at BEV's that don't have an ICE variant. So much better with a pure BEV design.
No she lives in The Netherlands.
I have no doubt this kind of thing will happen. Micro-ai-targeting will make it possible to fake whatever film or images are needed to convince a person, along with a persuasive call from one of their relatives.
Many radio systems are already SDR, just closed. The benefits are the same as building anything into software rather than hardware: you can update it later, support more variations, etc. The downside is more power consumption, so cellphone radios are not usually completely SDR (not an expert on those so correct me if I'm wrong)
Also, in the top 7, is it and two of its tributaries. That's 3 of the top 7. Another one is in 14th.

I guess tributaries mean its double counting the same water, but still.
Microsoft has no chance in the tech/startup world where workers have enough power to reject garbage solutions.

Their market is big legacy companies where tools aren't chosen based on merit (instead chosen on buzzwords, kickbacks or money under the table) and where the day-to-day users of those tools don't have the power to demand change.
Their issues are entirely consistent with mine on the first-gen ThinkPad Z13:

Stylus was wonky for a while. ForcePad only recently got full functional parity with Windows (although I haven't tested this yet). 200% scaling is ridiculous looking but fractional doesn't work well. Sound after suspend has issues and is a pain to set up on something like Arch. There have been hardware problems (sections of keyboard unresponsive even after hard power-down, resolves after plugging in a wall charger), takes 28 seconds from power button to desktop, drag-and-drop into Firefox doesn't work...

The list (which I have in a private Github repo) goes on and on...

In contrast, the Dell XPS 13 9370 from a few years back was so rock-solid, I was duped into believing that laptop vendors finally figured out Linux.

It's a shame, because the head of Linux at Lenovo genuinely cares and works hard to add support across their lineup, but it seems like he has to cope with whatever hardware and whatever team he has been given, and Lenovo introduces at least a dozen generation updates a year, it seems...
Well if TikTok is obligated by law to cooperate with the military, its main value proposition to the PLA is probably going to be its repositories of data on the citizens of foreign nations (particularly the US and its allies) and you can be pretty sure the data collection efforts are not being used to recommend some tasty local dim sum restaurants. In other words its highly probable that the data collected is used to support its propoganda efforts abroad. Given the close knit nature of the public and private sector fusion in China it might be safe to assume they are one and the same thing. Maybe TikToks role is not limited to just propoganda purposes but thats just too easy and valuable of a use case for it not to be employed in that context. I know of a few people on opposite ends of the political spectrum that eat up content that makes caricatures out of the other side. Not that this problem is limited to TikTok but in thier case being obligated to serve as an extension of the communist government it seems to be a ripe opportunity for spreading division and uncertainty in the citizens of rival countries.
the "regional broadcasters getting the rights" was part of the business plan for all the shows of that time: re-runs in syndication. Those would regularly not be in order, and the TV stations would schedule more popular episodes to run more often. So it's not just that people couldn't record/watch later what they missed; the shows were actively made to be run out of order, so they had to be standalone for the business model to work.
I don't think I've been obtuse whatsoever. The existence of the One China policy doesn't change the fact that since 2015, broader US policy has shifted from viewing China as a partner to a competitor[0]. That policy has been described as "a blueprint for a Cold War 2.0"[1] and that:

> Any effort on the Biden team's part to improve relations (and China has indicated a strong desire to do so) would likely have the administration fending off charges of being soft on China.

The results of this approach have been, among others: a trade war, a president repeating conspiracy theories that blame China for Coronavirus[2], and publicly accusing China of controlling the WHO[2]:

> "I chose not to make a statement today," Mr Trump said on Monday about the event, while describing the body as "China-centric" and "a puppet of China".

> He said the WHO had "gave us a lot of very bad advice, terrible advice" and were "wrong so much and always on the side of China".

More recently we've heard American politicians, in a congressional hearing, repeatedly refer to China as their "enemy". Are we supposed to believe that doesn't indicate how far relations have cooled? Are we supposed to be shocked that China doesn't align with US interests on Russia when the US has been displaying open hostility?

Best description of eth I've read
I disagree that laws banning IC cars are useless.

It forces car companies to plan for a certain future, not a possible one. That leads to an increased line up of cars for consumers, increases competition allowing consumers to afford those cars. It also forces everyone to thing about charging infrastructure etc.
There is a concept like this in the Clarke novel The City and the Stars. One of the entertainments in the far future is essentially playing out pre-scripted stories in a VR kind of system with your friends (although it's a full brain integration kind of thing, not just sensory input).
Very interesting. Seems like a perfect idea for the blockchain. Staring the repository.

Normal banks undergo regular audits, and get seized by the government when there's a wiff of insolvency about them.
I find this a very strange response, because while I can't really argue against any of it, it reads to me not as an answer but as a passing comment, tangential to what I was writing about that intersects with it almost incidentally.

There are big issues here but I am not sure that our views overlap by more than a wafer-thin ellipse.

One question: does it really matter why people use it?

Another: which is more important, the people who use it for political or ideological reasons, or the ones who use it from pragmatism?

Another: does it maybe matter how many use what form, than why they do it?

For 3 decades or so, there have been 2 main camps in the FOSS world, which is why the term "FOSS" was invented. One camp is the GNU folk, the Free Software types. The other is the Open Source folks.

Free Software: purity is more important than functionality. Don't use anything non-Free.

Open Source: what's important is that it works and does the job. Try to keep it all Free but if the choice is not working or not being free, it's more important that it works.

Fair so far?

This split exists in Linux.

So, for example, some distros (Ubuntu, Mint, and others) include proprietary blobs and drivers because without them it won't work on most computers.

Other distros (Fedora, Debian) don't. If you have problems getting it working, tough. Try a wired Ethernet connection. Try a USB wifi dongle. It's more important to them that it's all Free, but they may include non-free firmware in some versions or as extras.

Other distros refuse that, and purge the whole codebase of all BLOBs: Trisquel, Purism Pure OS. They accept and embrace that this choice means restricted hardware choice, and you may have to build computers specifically to run them.

But the thing is that now there's a 3rd kind of Linux. Linuxes that don't even claim to be a Linux, corporate products that happen to be based on Linux, but don't mention it, and are sold to the public as appliances, devices that work and let you use the Internet, and who cares how it works underneath.

Android, ChromeBooks, ChromeCast, etc.

And the thing is, these are way more successful. Billions of people use them and don't care what they run.

As a result, some of the changes have filtered back up the software chain and now desktop Linux is way more viable than it was, and a lot of stuff mostly just works.

But the two FOSS camps unite over this: these things Do Not Count and are not considered Real Linux.

I think market success matters more than ideology. We can say that it's arrived and it's practical and usable because hundreds of millions of people buy this kit every year and just get on with using it and enjoying it, and they don't care -- and don't need to care -- if it's FOSS software underneath.
Notably, soap operas are designed so that missed episode does not matter. The events happen slowly. Every important plot point is discussed by characters again and again and again, so that if catch up easily.

Soap operas are designed so that stay at home mom can change the diapers, feed the kid or console it. They are designed so that receptionist or sales assistant can handle customer and return to watching without feeling a loss.

We had an i3, and when on a summer vacation we noted our "usual" trip took about an hour longer due to a couple of recharge stops. However my SO, which drove the whole way, said she actually preferred it as she felt less exhausted when we arrived thanks to the extra stops. As such she was able to do more the evening we arrived.

Obviously others prefer to get there ASAP, but yeah, isn't necessarily clear cut.

> To create a single frame with Stable Diffusion 4-5B parameters, 512x512, 20 iterations takes 5-30 minutes depending on your CPU

Depends a lot on the cpu. Are you specifically talking about Text2Video or SD in general? IIRC, last time I tried SD on my CPU (10 core 10850k, not exactly cutting edge) it did take less than one minute for more than 20 iters. This was about 4-5 months ago, things might have gotten better.

The GPU (even a vintage 1070) was faster still of course.
