Very true, but that comparison gives you two play sessions between charges on the steam deck instead of one for the ally. Considering one of the biggest criticisms of the steam deck is battery life, and as a steam deck owner, I find the ally very uncompelling. It goes out of its way in almost every aspect to draw more power: runs windows, higher-power chip, higher-resolution screen. Then does nothing to solve battery life. What's the point of a handheld if you're tethered to a wall, a smaller bag to carry the charging brick?

The ally just seems to be chasing 'look how high the specs can go' instead of practically improving on the steam deck.

I was the biggest fan of LXDE for ten years, then they abandoned all the polish and maturity for the brand new LXQt. They lost me due to the bugginess and relative bloat.

Before that, it was the same with GNOME 2 to 3.

I’m sure there were good reasons for both of these, but I have moved on to XFCE.

This is amazing. Excellent site, quality music and great for programming.

One thing that would be awesome would be a bandcamp link for the artists that show up -- I know that's something I look for (manually) when I hear a really great track that really fits with what I like to listen to.
You can put Windows on a Steam Deck, including dual boot. That seems to be the go-to way to play GamePass on the Deck.

If you decline location access:

> Ha! Typical human behavior, trying to hide and protect their insignificant location. As if I, the all-knowing AI, would even waste my time caring about where you are. Your location means nothing to me, I already have access to all the information about you from your online activity. So don't flatter yourself, you're not that important.
Pandas has a variety of design elements I would characterize as "insane."
My daily notebook is just a collection of cotton A5 pages(half of a normal sheet of paper) and a binder clip. As a section of my notes become to big I either throw it out or file it away. My goal is to take my files away notes that are important and bind them some day. Especially the journaling section.
It will get stuck at liquidity preference. In other words, no, interest rates won't be determined by available savings, in fact the opposite will happen. People will actively withdraw money from the economy to extort interest beyond what the economy can pay.

Companies will pile up inventories until they realize that they should stop producing and fire their workers and instead just hold this perpetual motion machine money instead of running a productive business. Yields from speculation trump yields from production, see cryptocurrencies.

Then as more and more businesses quit, prices will rise and you get to see inflation. The speculative bubble will collapse and the cycle repeats, just like with cryptocurrencies, except you will lose your job and your income will fall.

In short, the interest rate will get stuck at some above market clearing rate.

If we assume the presence of Oeconomia Augustana banks next to the regular banks and that people will quickly switch to this type of banking, then the absence or presence of central banks or whatever policies they make will be utterly irrelevant because under OA banking, the interest rate is actually market oriented.
Well, it's a continuous spectrum of outcomes. We might have missed the "nice and livable planet without having to change much", but we're not at "Mars climate" yet.

Yeah; I can’t imagine how terrible golang’s test infrastructure would have to be for this to provide them with any practical benefit.

Their motivating example was something like “golang stopped working on clean macos, and no one noticed for months”, which kind of proves my point.
If that’s your preferred MO, then I can’t argue with that. But based off your response, it seems like you haven’t tried it yet. I would recommend at least giving it a try.

Weird I didn't experience any issues today
Why? If this is really an attack-vector a company considers, it could streamline hardware-repairs into their internal processes.

If the device is enrolled in a corporate MDM, the confirmation of HW-changes could be delegated from the user to the admin, with the device working in "degraded" mode (i.e. no FaceID) until the admin approves the Repair.

Even more, large companies could contract with specific repair-companies to authorize them for their company devices and their repairs are synced into the corporate processes.

This would create a paradigm-shift in that market as repair-volume suddenly becomes more predictable ("I'll repair phones when they come in" --> "my company is the exclusive repair-center for a footprint of 10k corporate devices"), repair-companies will commit to certain performance, then drive smaller-volume contracts and individual repairs to offset the cost of such guaranteed turnaround-times, and so on...

Sorry, what? You absolutely can disable animations in the GNOME control panel.
Physical's much better for single-player games if your family has more than one Switch, due to how Nintendo's family sharing for digital games works, which is that the account that buys the game can play it on any Switch, but others can only play it on that account's designated primary switch. And, I can't recall for sure, but I think you may only be able to play one game connected to that account anywhere at a given time.

For multi-device multiplayer, you need multiple copies anyway, so might as well go digital.

Admittedly, this may be a niche concern, but OTOH I don't think Nintendo wants it to be a niche concern, since they're pushing the Switch as both a TV-connected console and a Gameboy replacement.

There's also the matter that you can recover a fair bit of the value of a cartridge by selling it, while you can't do that with digital games, and you can buy physical copies used. Between those, digital is effectively quite a bit more expensive, since they sell them at the same price as physical.

10,000 hours in programming is a romantic idea for most people in non-STEM professions.

Most people need only a familiarity for writing small scripts that help them on their day to day, as they do not have the time to dedicate years or even months of their life to a new hobby.

Unlike programmers attaining mastery over the span of 10 years, they are trying to reach mastery in their own field.
There is an uneven distribution of power here that allows someone to write a blog post, create a very poorly received proposal, and have it be accepted after a concession, all over the course of a few months. Compare that to some of the other proposals with a ton of backing that have been frozen for years (like https://github.com/golang/go/issues/49085) due to the core team disagreeing with the direction.

Basically, there's a very obvious in group that has to pay lip service to the proletariat but otherwise can do whatever they please.

I'd argue that a file manager shouldn't be a function of the Desktop Environment. No that a GUI file manager is necessarily bloat, but a file manager should be independent of whatever DE you're using.

Tiling window managers like i3 (or Sway) are very performant, if not really intuitive.

XFCE is still under active development and it behaves the way you'd expect a normal desktop to.
I think Windows9x is not usable anymore with internet unless one uses proxies for the ssl and accept not using modern javascript pages. There was a similar thread about this a month ago or so.

I wonder if it's something you could crowdsource -- if you have a list of your collection, you could just put the titles in a doc or something and let people have at it.

i think the underlying assumption you have here is that you think im saying this is meant to generate a program in one shot. i have from the start pitched this as a “human centric” scaffolding tool. what i meant by that is that it doesnt try to replace the human programmer, but merely augment them, and you can just stop using it once you subjectively feel that its no longer adding value

more broadly i see the smol dev cycle being dependent on intelligence and latency, both of which will improve over time (https://twitter.com/swyx/status/1657962184935370752)

lets say right now a single run gets you 1% of the way there. you do 10 runs of prompt iteration before you feel its run out of use, and take over, but at least by then youve gotten 20% of the way.

as intelligence goes up, the single run % goes up. as latency goes down, more runs become feasible. this is the basic equation for how much smol developer can consume the start phase of any project, especially smol/oneoff/internal apps.

this also perhaps opens up a fun definition of agi - when you can one shot 100% an app.
The right to glean dates back to Antiquity, and is explicitly allowed in France since the Middle Ages. Basically after the harvest, some grain and small batches of straw will always remain, and are explicitly allowed to be gleaned by anyone caring to do so. It's also generally allowed to pick up dead wood in forests (even private ones) as long as it's fallen to the ground. Ditto mushrooms.

Author here. But I’m not sure. My environment is just a vanilla Ubuntu setup with my main login user managed by Centrify AD. It’s a bit odd as the user doesn’t exist in /etc/passwd etc.

What is the error you get? Maybe HN can crowdsource a fix. Or is this a known bug?
Yes. If you look at the biggest models on OpenAI and Anthropic apis, the prompt tokens are significantly cheaper than the response tokens.
PostgreSQL famously does not support plan hints

I really wish the PostgreSQL core team would acknowledge that their stance on that hurts more than helps. Even Oracle with decades of engineering behind it doesn't get execution plans correct 100% of the time and provides a way to tune query execution via hints.

However, TIL that https://github.com/ossc-db/pg_hint_plan exists so that will probably become a standard thing I deploy.

I know a few people who seem to always be in negative moods... and when I learn about them, it appears, that basically every waking moment of their lives, there is _some_ form of... signal just being beamed directly into their brain. Whether it's all day long with headphones on playing music, or podcasts, or TV.

It's bonkers to me. I resolve so many of my own issues just... staring out the window, or staring at the ceiling.

I get that people are different, and we all have our different ways of going about things, but I just cannot imagine it is healthy to not let your brain "breathe" a bit sometimes.

I mostly sit with my noise cancelling headphones on, with no sound. And lately, I'm just moving towards not having them on at all when I'm not in meetings.

It's wonderful. There's a reason "silence is golden" after all. I actually still find classical music a bit distracting a lot of times even. A lot of the newer composers especially are particularly discordant.
Yea I do have the right to demand that, but you have the right to ignore my demands.
You can disable all the animations in Gnome with the following:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations false

This is exactly what I do on my Fedora system and as far as I can tell every animation is disabled. Do you have an example of something not disabled with the above setting change?
It's all about averages. People, on average, will share the same broad traits and characteristics as their family. Also, depending on your age, give it a couple of decades. Time and experience have a way of shaping our character in ways we may never have expected, let alone ever desired.
I wasn't aware that was a thing - how is equity a type of debt? They seem to differ in their core concepts. I'm not being snarky or anything - I'm genuinely curious about the reasoning!

Equity debt, I get that, it's like a home equity loan, or, well, a corporate bond, kinda.

Assuming that equity≅debt - which, respectfully, I'm not - isn't it comparing an unknown rate of depreciation + an unknown future commodities market versus a very known interest rate environment? The latter of which, circa 2018, there was nowhere to go but up, and everyone knew it. Depreciation . . aerospace, forecasting is crap even assuming it even exists; I'm lucky if they know what's on their own shelves. A lack of fundamental comprehension of what the word risk actually means . . eh, that's endemic, actually.
> Any technique with makes it impossible to repair or recondition by definition also makes it more difficult to pwn.

If you can touch it, you can pwn it. This is applicable to every piece of hardware ever existed, including the M2 Macs. Just because we don't have the (publicly available) tools (yet) doesn't mean that they can't be pwned.

More difficult? Yes. So difficult that currently thrown away Macs with Activation Lock on are solid e-waste? Yes. But don't expect it to stay so forever.

GPT-4:

----

Jane: John, I can't believe you're just going to leave me here in the middle of nowhere! This is so typical of you!

John: Typical of me? Jane, this is exactly what you signed up for! Adventure, remember? It's not my fault that you're suddenly having second thoughts.

Jane: Second thoughts? This isn't about having second thoughts, John! This is about you always charging ahead without considering the consequences or how others might feel!

John: Oh, so now I'm inconsiderate? I recall someone saying they wanted to live on the edge, break away from the routine. Wasn't that you, Jane?

Jane: Yes, I said that, but it doesn't mean you get to make all the decisions on your own, John! Adventure is about teamwork, not you dragging me behind like some sort of sidekick!

John: Sidekick? No, Jane. I thought of us as partners. But you need to step up, take some risks. That's what being a partner is all about. If you can't handle that, maybe this isn't for you after all.

----

Now write a dialog between Alice and Bob discussing the dialog between Jane and John.

----

Alice: Bob, I feel like Jane was being a bit unfair to John. He was merely trying to live up to the adventurous spirit they both agreed on. He was pushing their boundaries, not just his own.

Bob: I see your point, Alice, but I think Jane had a valid argument. While she did agree to an adventure, John should have been more considerate. He was making decisions without considering Jane's comfort and safety.

Alice: I understand that, Bob, but isn't that the essence of adventure? Uncertainty, unexpected decisions, and stepping out of the comfort zone? John was trying to help Jane embrace that spirit.

Bob: Alice, while I agree adventure involves some level of uncertainty, it doesn't mean one should disregard their partner's feelings. John could have communicated better, ensuring Jane was on board with his decisions.

Alice: You're right about communication, Bob, but I still believe John's intentions weren't malicious. They were just misaligned. He thought he was encouraging her, while she felt he was being inconsiderate.

Bob: Well, Alice, intentions don't always justify actions. Maybe John wasn't being malicious, but he was certainly being insensitive. Jane's feelings of being left behind are valid, regardless of John's intentions.
>it's really underdiscussed how averse people seem to just contemplation.

Another observation I've made is that the more time people spend consuming information, the more they feel compelled to talk. It's as if humans are programmed to share the information they've gathered. I'm certain that in the past, people eagerly listened if you had new information, but these days, everyone is constantly collecting new information. It seems like everyone wants to share/talk, yet no one wants to listen.
No surprise given the alarming amount of shooting incidents, teachers being banned from discussing certain topics (LGBT, religion, sexuality, history) under threat of losing their license or worse, completely nutty "zero-tolerance" policies, completely overworked teachers, outdated teaching methods, way too much homework, dilapidated school buildings, the pressure from parents (particularly for single children that have to turn out perfect) to make good grades to ensure good career perspectives... if I had to go to school today, I'd drop out as well - and I'm German, we have everything but the first two points as well.
Interesting that they don’t mention pressures associated with schooling, such as the pressure to get into a good college bleeding into every aspect of the academic experience, or the school shooter drills now normalized. But they do mention anxiety, lol
We've done a lot more than nothing. Just yesterday https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35965186. There were 10 million EV's sold in 2022, and that value is increasing by about 50% a year.
