That "taste" as popularly defined is already a multi-sensory experience probably isn't controversial to you. Most would agree that plugging your nose alters your tasting experience of a food. I fail to see why other sensory organs like ears and eyes are not fair game to include in the experience. Weak beer tastes better on a hot patio. Sipping brandy tastes better next to a crackling fire.

To present the claim that certain things are "harmful stereotypes" as fact is a popular tactic of activist censors. Not even articles in scientific journals are safe when they arrive at the "wrong" results. Optimizing language models for political correctness instead of truth, whatever it may be, teaches them lying and deception.

While not specific to DisplayPort, I've been really impressed with the AV Access 8K KVM Switch [1]. 4K at 120Hz without chroma subsampling was a hard requirement.

I use it with macOS Ventura and a Windows 11 desktop. It works nicely in conjunction with a Dell Thunderbolt 3 dock to power an LG OLED and support additional accessories. And it has EDID emulation, which is crucial for maintaining consistent display arrangement.

I've tried other DisplayPort KVM switches with mixed success. This is the first one that's worked out of the box.

The dongle is not a sweet spot for anything but low power embedded IOT stuff.

Modern desktop computing takes at least 25-35W of consistent power, and there's absolutely NO way to fit that power envelope in a dongle factor, unless you surround it with a block of solid copper.

I think the clearest delimitation between old and new is a lot of old interfaces really tried to make every GUI element appear distinct. I think as we presume that users are familiar with basic GUI elements we’ve started replying on them having intuition from context clues instead. “The button doesn’t look pushable, but we know that you expect a button here anyway.”

I signed up for a Lemmy instance a while ago, and just stopped using it because the default lemmy web UI adopted 2010s worst trend of making buttons, text areas, and combo boxes all the exact same featureless rounded pill. It’s legitimately difficult to use on a phone. One big pile of pills that do random things.

> Funny, a stream of data at a constant rate makes much more sense to me intuitively than packets, specifically for uncompressed video.

There is a data rate floor for how fast the device that outputs must meet. We’ve surpassed this (due to optimization at the silicon level, designing hardware who’s sole job it is to send bursts of data) and we end up running out of data in the buffer periodically because it’s just so fast. Because analog is real time, you can squeeze much else in that data stream but with digital, we are afforded the luxury of packet switching instead of that line being idle, we can pump even more down the linen.

> Are there any downsides to packetization, like increased latency or dropped frames or anything? Or not really, is it all upsides in being able to trivially combine multiple data streams or integrate easily into hubs?

If I recall correctly, the timing and data rates is all prearranged based on reported capacity and abilities of the receiving device and it won’t even attempt to support multiple streams if it is incapable of doing so or the data channel established cannot fully support the bandwidth required.
There really isn't a Nintendo-Sony duopoly. They don't really compete with each other. It's a handheld game system with the ability to dock and work with a TV. The hardware and its gaming capabilities are very different. There is almost no overlap in the games available to each console. Nintendo stopped competing on high performance hardware several generations ago.

It competes like a Honda Civic competes with a Chevrolet Corvette.

>Imagine how annoying it would be on a laptop?

>That would be an absolutely brain dead way of working.

For starters: the experience I want on my laptop is not the same as the experience I want on my desktop. I have two monitors at home, sometimes I like to turn off the wing-monitor when I am watching a movie on the center screen. (To avoid distraction, and also minimize glare, etc.) That doesn't mean I want those windows rearranged: that's probably going to interfere w/ the movie that is playing, fuck up my desktop wallpapers, icons, window sizes, etc. The whole point of turning off the monitor is to hide those distractions.

Also not all window managers suck as badly as Mac OS and Windows. By default I have odd-numbered virtual desktops go to the left montior, and even-numbered virtual desktops go to the right monitor. If I want to move a viewport to another monitor, I renumber it accordingly, and all the windows move to that monitor: complete w/ their proportional positions and sizes.

The idea that _a device hotplug event_ would change how my virtual desktops are laid out is so absurd to me that I switched operating systems to avoid the default Windows behavior. So maybe consider that paradigms and workflows other than "a docked laptop" exist before calling people braindead?
> No, do not lose your time trying to tell me how to avoid that - my relationship with that program is already sour.

That's fair, but VS Code (out of the box) only puts stuff on one side of the content. If you see stuff on both sides, it's because you did that.
> But children do actually have more papillae (taste buds) than adults. As we age, we may gain skill in describing what we sense but we also lose taste buds which give us the raw sensory input to start with.

Sure, but the point is that "nuanced" fancy food is optimized for the taste bud setup of adults, not children. So while theoretically, i guess, you can craft a food piece for children that would be the kind of mindblowing that adults can't experience anymore, that's not what expensive cuisine is optimizing for.
Drink!
After all it's impossible to do this with regular code

Understanding is a moving target, though. Newtonian mechanics was incorrect for modeling the solar system as well - as it was eventually superseded - but that doesn't mean it wasn't a scientific understanding of planetary motion.

Epicycles gave a better description of the movement of the planets, based on the observations available, which was entirely falsifiable. They were eventually superseded, and that's science at work.
Looks like there's some stuff on aliexpress like [0]. 2x10G SFP + 4x2.5G + 6 SATA ports for $343 bare seems like a pretty great NAS box on paper, assuming the processor and internal IO can actually handle everything. There's also [1] with 2x10G SFP and 3x2.5G for $276. Personally I'm hoping for something with 10G SFP + 6xSATA + an N305 processor, which I think doesn't exist yet. On paper, the N305 is almost 2x as good as the i5-6600 I have in my desktop, and these things use almost no power, so that'd make for a killer home server/NAS.

> FWIW, I don't get the 'Apple computers just refuse to work' issue with any of my L1T KVMs.

My work intel macbook worked great on it for like a year once I got a high quality usb-c -> displayport cable, but an os update borked it... though it's definitely the mac that's the problem as it also has problems sometimes with just strait to the monitor too (on the other hand 49" ultrawide is pushing the bandwidth near it's limits).

My personal arm macbook has always worked great on it with even a crappy usb-c -> displayport

my windows desktop also always worked great on it.
Patents for essential printer technologies should be well expired by now, patent terms not to exceed 20 years by international convention, if I'm not mistaken.

You can't benefit from the latest but the inkjets and lasers of 20 years ago were pretty good and had more or less assumed their modern form already.

My suspicion is more that it is a difficult market make decent margins in. The effort to lock in consumers to name-brand consumables, even by Brother these days, seems to belie that problem. Maybe there are other hurdles like sweetheart deals with chem manufacturers as well, I don't know.
> rest of the world has not build meaningfully

Is a giant (broken) ferris wheel "building meaningfully"?
Absolutely. Recently lots of Russian assets got nationalized in Germany on account of German national security in light of the energy crisis and the war with Ukraine. In NL we nationalized a bank (SNS bank) that failed, and one that would have failed (ABN). In Japan, in the wake of the Fukushima disaster there was an energy company nationalized. The USA (though they don't like to call it that) nationalized a bunch of stuff in the wake of the financial crisis.
When designing a tool, scalability should be a feature not a requirement. There isn't so much value in creating scalable tools these days as they exist in abundance. What is rarer and more useful are tools that are easy to use at small scale that work without minimal modification and headaches at scale.

Unless you're only running one instance of this, it probably makes sense to scale back immediately otherwise your costs are going to balloon. Even then the horizontal scaling requirements of some of the "parallel" subsystems will get incredibly expensive fast.
> Apple does totally fine with mac mini.

Is there data on how well they actually sell? I always vaguely assumed it was a pretty low-volume product that they couldn't actually get rid of due to niche customer applications. They've historically often been very slow to _update_ it; they definitely don't treat it as one of their more important products.
Each organisation has a different interpretation, with some being as broad as anything which has an owner and would have an impact to the business if confidentiality, integrity or availability of the asset is affected.

However, the best definitions typically come from NIST which, as a non-US resident, I still recognise are leaders in this space.

Huh? A QHD display for 200, a hand-me-down keyboard and mouse, and I have a better machine with a mini.

Besides, I'd use an external display anyways, not working at caffées.
LineageOS and custom roms have been doing this for close to two decades. And those are entirely based on volunteer efforts. It actually doesn't take that much work. The reason Google etc don't do it is because then they'd get to sell fewer phones since they wouldn't be getting obsolete so quickly.

Apple supports devices for a lot longer because they get a lot of recurring and ongoing revenue from Apple services on Apple devices, so it's in their favour if devices stay usable for longer.

You can understand almost all decisions made by tech companies if you think along the lines of "how are they profiting by doing _______?"
Keep Your Netflix Experience a Constant Even in Times of Change
Given how common embedded/box PCs are (so many display boards and digital signages - at the restaurant/every kiosk, operating the dozens of automated processes we take for granted - or not, given it's HN) - I can't imagine the market not existing. Intel making poor business decisions/cost cutting, sure. But the market of box PCs is huge. And Intel is likely the best company on Earth to be able to leverage their knowledge and bring niche products to market that most companies can't even dream of designing (unless you're AMD/Apple/Nvidia - and even they don't have fab + design capabilities.)

As someone who was hoping to use a NUC as a computer/laptop, I am dissappointed in Intel.
While fields are small, academia is a big place. Most academics won’t falsify data — from a pragmatic perspective, that’s their career on the line, and from an emotional perspective, their academic work is tied to their self-image. It’s also arguably a lot harder to do in the hard sciences but there have still been examples.
In the hard sciences, I feel like the solution is some method to increase how much people at different labs talk to one another (in addition to including all raw data and processing code from experiments). If an impactful article comes out, labs will try to build on it. Not every lab will have the equipment but those in the sub area might. If you’re trying to iterate on a study, and you can’t reproduce the base result before adding your modifications, you might just think you’re dumb or doing something dumb. There’s likely nobody outside maybe your research group who can help you. However, if it was easier to talk to other researchers in the field (like a web forum), you might find out that nobody has been able to get the original experiment working!
In the social sciences, I’m not sure what you do besides running automated checks on submitted data. Humans are bad at generating things that look random (for example, we use more 3s and 7s than nature), and you can probably flag warnings. Either that or include paper trails like a lab notebook in chemistry — which is considered a legal document and thus must be kept in pen. That way you can establish a chain of custody for the data from collection to publication.
> Computers have permanently altered society. Yeah, your desktop is slower and more aggravating to use, but we're living in a world only science fiction could have dreamed of. :D

Nvidia on both, one consumer and one workstation. Neither CPU has built-in graphics iirc, nor do the motherboards expose the ports.

Feynman was a genius. It takes a genius to say something like that, and it's surprising how many "scientists" are upset by statements like that, because they are so proud of their hard-won capabilities in modelling. Their curl and divergence operators, their Maxwell's equations... they forget that the map is not the terrain, and the universe is, at it's root, irreducibly mysterious, and the fact that we understand anything about it at all is gobsmacking.
There are too many copycats in this space.

Although I am thankful to Intel for starting the NUC trend, at this point they no longer provide good value in this segment.

Their units are generally higher price than competitors at the same hardware level (even using the exact same Intel CPUs).
It's somewhat of a whole in the market for distributions with commercial-corporate-handholding.

But you're right in that a company like SUSE could, instead of introducing a new distribution, decide they're "adopting" an existing FOSS distribution (systemd-free or otherwise) and offering hand-holding, call-us-any-time support for corporations deploying it.

This is reminiscent of the Hegelian dialectic. I'll probably misrepresent it, but as I understand it, it's the idea that society evolves slowly but surely through a constant three step process:

- Society swings to one extreme (called the thesis)

- Part of society reacts to the extreme and in the other direction, often to the extreme (the antithesis)

- Society recognizes the downsides of both extremes and ends up somewhere in the middle (the synthesis)

This process might repeat multiple times, with each swing getting less extreme, or it might just need one go-round, but it generally matches a lot of human behavior I've seen. Whether programming paradigms, managing styles, political issues (over- vs. under-regulation), etc., this view seems to apply historically, and gives me a lot of hope for humanity's chances for eventual success in the long-term.

On the other hand, I may totally be misunderstanding the Hegelian dialectic, as I only was half listening in my intro to philosophy class, so if anyone here has corrections for me, I'd love to learn.

Some things just lend themselves to being expressed in terms of simple operators.

That is still using the overloaded SmartPtr<>::operator*() method.

I understand the viewpoint that operator overload is syntactic sugar for things that can easily be done another way, I just disagree that costs outweigh the benefits.

Depending on situation, the way NUCs typically needed external power bricks also made them less attractive. Mac minis aren't as small no, but the size difference for having the PSU be internal is minimal and it eases power strip woes.
