Based on specifications, GTR7 and GTR7 Pro are the best computers with a volume less than 1 L.

The only worries are the quality of the cooling and the noise.

According to this review:

https://www.servethehome.com/beelink-gtr7-changes-the-mini-p...

it seems that from the point of view of the cooling and noise they are significantly improved over earlier Beelink models, so any of the two variants seems like a good choice.

An alternative is Minisforum UM790, which is configured for a lower CPU power and which has slightly less peripheral interfaces.
> Which is why nobody made the claim. They're packaging up a derivative work and selling it.

Pardon me. I did conflate the overall claim that it inherently violates copyright law with a more specific claim (not made) that it "is copying." Since copyright also enumerates the "making derivatives" rights as well as the "copy rights" I acknowledge you have in your argument more than the zero legs to stand on that i implied.

> They're packaging up a derivative work and selling it. Don't have to look hard to see examples that this is just as infringing as outright copying.

This is an interesting claim. It rests on the question of whether the model itself is a derivative work, or if it's a tool (or something between a tool and a trained person).

A photocopier can be used to reproduce ASOIAF and a word processor can be used to create a blatantly derivative work, but I assume we agree that that isn't the problem of Xerox or Microsoft. The derivative works produced with those technologies are the 'illegal' items, not the programs that were used to build them.

If I wrote my own GoT fanfiction, ripping off whole characters, names, and settings, and read my own stories in the privacy of my own home, am I breaking any copyright law? I don't think I would be. I would rightly get in hot water if I tried to sell them, and would probably rightly get in hot water even if I just posted them to Github for free given that I'm distributing the derivative works.

I think using AI tools to generate derivative works could place the user (Not OpenAI, etc) in rightful legal jeopardy if they distribute or sell those works -- on the other hand, if they are simply keeping them for their own personal enjoyment I think it's not that different than if they wrote them themselves. (I also think that rightsholders are acting a little paranoid with those concerns, as though anyone would seriously choose not to buy the latest book or movie or painting only because some poor AI knock-offs exist, but I acknowledge that has little bearing on whether some action is or is not legal.)
This is also how police get people to confess to crimes they never committed. Coercion is not a useful tool for seeking the truth.

Why would the browser render engine slower than the Java Android UI render engine?
I am almost certain that the browser css engine is better optimized than the Android native render. IOS is a different story since their render engine is heavily optimized against their own hardware. But still I know that webapps can have the same performance as native apps. And the end of mobile native UI kits will finally arrive. Webapps/spas will take over.

BMD has done some innovative things through their SDI port, specifically enabling camera control with an Arduino-add-on board.

Someone finally did what I've wanted to see for years: built a follow-focus unit that controls the focusing motors in the lenses, so you don't have to bolt a ridiculous contraption (and janky focusing-ring adapters) onto a lens to turn its (non-mechanical) focusing ring manually.

Why should prices be the same? Airlines are private companies in an already heavily regulated industry with thin margins and high operational costs. It may be nice to have something more like public air transit, but we can’t even figure that out consistently for ground travel.

"Voluntarily" may be doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. People are often not fully aware of what they can and can not refuse to do. Airports have gotten a lot more complicated on that front in the last 20 years.
> They should indicate the nature of...

Isn't that exactly what they have done? Peeking at yesterday's Ars article about a Mercedes SUV - right at the top of it I see a really, really obvious box with this text:

"Mercedes-Benz provided a flight from DC to San Diego and a return from Los Angeles, plus four nights in hotels so we could drive the AMG EQE SUV as well as see the Vision One-Eleven and drive the AMG S-Class. Ars does not accept paid editorial content."

And their bottom-line conclusion about that car is probably not what Mercedes was hoping for, either:

"I'm not sure this EV makes a particularly compelling case for itself, except for the fact that it will appeal to the kind of person who wants to walk into a Mercedes dealership to buy the most expensive one."

So - where's the deception?
I think some observation and a little engineering thinking makes this clear.

In the early 2010s one of the biggest issues with smartphones was battery life. The packaging of the battery is limited if a requirement is to make it removable (i.e. it must be a certain shape, have connectors in a certain location, etc). If that requirement is removed, battery can be made to fill whatever space is available in the device.

People drop their phones in water all the time. Then call the company and complain it's broken. People get mad when the company tells them it's their fault. If you have fewer holes in a device, it's less likely to be damaged by water. A removable battery means exposed connectors sealed by imperfect covers, making them more likely to be damaged by any water ingress. So they removed that failure point.

Another issue in tech generally is end-users messing with the device internals, accidentally breaking the device, and blaming the company. Remove that failure-case by making the internals inaccessible and complaints go down.

Making the device impossible to access because of a deep-state conspiracy is just a convenient mental shortcut to believe in. I'm as annoyed as the next person about less-repairable devices but I don't think it's a conspiracy, just practical engineering.
That't literally the only place where operator overloading makes any sense.

In other places they monkey patch c++ defincies as a language.

And they are confusing and error prone.

Nobody is pretending we will get rid of any c++ syntax ever. So the discussion is about a hypothetical language syntax that fits C++ slot.

In that world C++ would have N x M matrices as native value types in the language (as fortran does) and those operators would be defined in the language spec for matrix types just as they are defined for standard number types at the moment.

And it would not have any operator overloading.
Why do these companies have the right to detain someone?
The correct way to fix it is for every leg offered by an airline to be priced comparably, with the per-leg pricings transparently displayed to customers as part of the booking process, such that skiplagging is no longer a necessary tactic to avoid getting gouged by the airline cartels. But since that might cost these businesses some money, there's limited legislative pressure to force them to do the right things.
The NUCs had a pretty wide range of processor options, and often fairly-old ones with low core counts from lower-end processor lines were still for sale—but never at what felt like the correct price to me, especially since they usually needed memory and a disk (the ones that came with those seemed like an even worse deal)
It's an interesting challenge. Let's assume these accounts aren't just deleted, like Google started doing this year after accounts go inactive (what a lightcone horror show that is, ye monsters). But let's also assume Facebook accounts retain their security settings, and assume there's no massive change in behavior where people start making everything public again.

What happens to these accounts then?

Do we see great great great grandma, but all her posts are closed & locked to time?

Maybe account inheritance is the way. You designate one person to take over your account. People become maintainers of the family tree, are the designated owner. You want to see the family tree? Talk to your cousin four times removed, he has the access keys to ~80 of your ancestors. And that other nephew has another ~40. Oh and your aunt has ~20.
Some cancer treatments have advanced a lot. Some are still using the same old drugs. Mother with StageIIIc ovarian in 2019 resection, HIPEC, then chemo. Recurrence in 2020 and every 6-9mo after that with some areas appearing, others shrinking. Platinum resistant in 2022 (many many many different times combined with taxol, doxil, etc). Taxol alone not working now as she had a spread event. Doxil + Avastin is now being tried (again but without platinum). Probably out of options sooner or later even though she can physically handle more chemo. Avastin is pretty much the only advance for this cancer and it's not very good. She's been on it on and off several times with the other chemo drugs. Of course all this depends on the mutations and such. Hers aren't ones anything new if it exists works for. This is a major research hospital with distinguished specialists.
Depending on the age of the child, they may not be able to legally consent to whatever happened, especially if coercion was involved. I suggest giving the victim some leeway here, given that so many airlines have a track record of passenger abuse.
> Plus, you can only book these one way because if you throw away anything other than the last flight in your itinerary the rest of the trip gets cancelled.

I did the round trip once - well 3/4 trip anyway - back when I was a poor student. I woke up really early to board a bus for a 3 hour drive to a faraway city, where I then boarded a plane that less than an hour later had me back in my originating city (the airline's main "hub.") There I changed flights and continued on to my destination. On the return segment days later, however, I left at the midpoint and went home. This cost several hundred dollars less than the more direct alternative.

Airlines tend to overcharge at their hub cities because they face little competition.

I don't see this as a moral quandary either way, it's more like counting cards at Blackjack: the casinos don't want you to do it but it's not illegal, so if you can do it successfully, great. But if you get caught you have to pay the price.

Interrogated successfully. He admitted it.

But the whole thing is just coercion. Sounds more like something the mafia would do than an airline. But then again, this is America so maybe the mafia is how airlines got started.

With how accurate you can get remote microphones to work, much of the effort to avoid listening from government agents feels misguided. If you want to keep them from having remote capabilities, the trick isn't to try and control your surroundings, but to control them. Legislation and rules of operation are pretty much required.

You can be worried about your phone companies and such. Though, I think there is also a social problem, not a technical one.

They don't. You're free to leave the airport, forfeit your flight, and be banned from the airline.

Build industry, and educate the people to be able to work in those industries, to supply goods and services. Spread economic resources around to create a middle class that generates demand for goods and services. That’s the pattern that works for every else on Earth, and there’s no reason that deserts would prevent it. The situation is made harder by some factors, but conveniently they currently have lots of money to overcome those difficulties.

Huh, looks like you are partially correct. Apparently the law was changed in 2015. Before 2015 it was legal to download copies of music from the internet.

You are wrong regarding the copy of music being considered "stolen property" and your citation "Chapter 28: Theft" does not support your position. It lists many different types of theft NONE of the types of "theft" included there are in any way related to piracy or music.

You are right regarding that obtaining a copy of a song is apparently illegal.
