I'm pretty sure Linux doesn't have "generic" wifi cards. See all the issues people have getting to work brand-new models. I had already seen the AX201 in a separate machine for some time before buying this laptop, so it wasn't brand-new when I first tried installing Windows. Didn't check the PCI IDs to confirm it was precisely the same, though.

I don't have that specific PC on hand to check the IDs right now.

For installing, I create the USB drive with the "media creation tool" I download right before from that site. I only use the direct ISO download to install on VMs, since my usual approach of writing it with dd from linux doesn't work for some reason.

I've noticed the driver reinstall issue because at one point, there was some kind of issue with my external monitor which worked with the Intel drivers but not with the Windows Update ones, and every so often the display output would break again until I manually reinstalled the ones from the Intel site. The Windows Update drivers have been fine for a few months now. Wi-Fi never had any issue once it got going after the first reboot and Windows update run.
I doubt that this can be true.

I am using older LTO-7 cartridges, with a raw capacity of 6 TB. The newer LTO cartridges must be compatible mechanically with the old cartridges, because the same drive must be able to read and write them.

The LTO cartridges are smaller than 3.5" drives, they have maybe about 2/3 of the volume of a 3.5" HDD.

Moreover, a tape cartridge is many times lighter than a HDD. I have suitcases with 20 tape cartridges that are as convenient to carry as any typical suitcase.

A luggage carrying 20 HDDs would have a very noticeable weight, and its volume would be great not only due to the bigger HDDs, but it would require serious padding to avoid HDD destruction if the case were dropped accidentally.

It's entirely possible it's overblown, but I'm pretty sure we're talking about larger amounts than that if we're using this to get rid of our nuclear waste.

But even apart from the launch risk, shooting stuff into space is not cheap, and shooting stuff into the sun is a lot more expensive than that. To justify that, it has to be not only safer, but also cheaper than putting it underground.

The only real advantage I see to shooting it into the sun is that if our civilisation ever collapses and nobody can read anymore, there's less risk of the people then running into our waste in the sun than finding it buried.

I never understand when people preach about wealth inequality. The GDP per capita of the world is about $12k. In a perfectly equal world, that would mean everyone makes about that in a year. Seeing people on social media whining about wealth inequality while living in some of the most prosperous countries in the world is kindoff laughable.

This is article is wrong on both sides of its reasoning. On one, yeah, people built grids and started farming, this is how our civilization came around. These people were more numerous and more dominant, pushing hunter gatherers out. However, they lived worse: they were shorter, worked more, played less, had less interesting routines. It is only recently that we matched hunters in health. And then almost instantly became massively obese.

On the other, we* are not headed for any widespread climate disaster. Yeah, fires, waves of migration, etc, sure. None of that will be worse than things we have deliberately caused ourselves (like the collapse of Libya and its aftermath). It won't even come close to pointless slaughters of first and second world war after which our civilization flourished to new heights.

* I mean the first world we.

There are no official releases. To quote from the linked email:

The only way to get a release version of LuaJIT is to compile it from the git repo.
I had a similar reaction. But my read of the post is that rockets, space science, and other planets are now the mid-game, so cliff explosives are probably still mid-game tech, not end-game.

Guilty as charged, yes you’re right I was a console game dev. Fair enough, yes PCs are way ahead of consoles and I overstated the perceptual limits of frame rates. I didn’t really mean to suggest that competitive twitchy PC games have no reason to go above 60fps, I meant that there’s a whole swath of other kinds of games that don’t need it (consoles, mobile, puzzle games, etc. etc.). I was reacting more to the idea of 500fps which is really far above 144hz, and the implied suggestion by top comment that maybe even 500 isn’t enough and that everything should be trying go there.

> an input latency of 10ms while running at 100fps equals a worst-case latency of roughly 20ms, not 10ms. That’s why the higher fps & hz numbers really matter.

Yes exactly, I agree and this was the point I was trying and I guess failing to make. Latency is typically multiple frames, so at 100hz, latency can easily be longer than known science-meme perception times. Even with vsync there’s up to one frame to recognize inputs, then another frame to produce new game state & submit the render, then 1 or 2 more for double or triple buffering, then maybe supersampling and/or denoising, then whatever the monitor does, and I might be missing some steps that add latency. So I suspect 500hz has nothing to do with seeing smoother motion compared to 144hz, and everything to do with getting overall control latency down to below, say, 10ms.

Does that really work though? Does CS:GO and do other modern games poll the controller at the display refresh rate? I know it’s pretty common for a lot of games to decouple rendering from game state. That can mean a lot of different things, but one of the implications might be that controller latency is limited to one or two frames of, say, 60hz game state updates, followed by 3-5 frames of 500hz display refresh. Is latency in today’s PC games limited by the game state update, regardless of what the display refresh rate is?

I’m curious where the perceptual limits really are, and what the max framerate we actually need is. Suppose an imaginary world where worst case input-to-screen latency is 2 frames. Then in that case, how high should the FPS be? What if there was zero latency - like if the next rendered frame magically reflected mid-frame controller inputs and magically displayed with no latency - then what should the ideal FPS be? Would there be any benefit to going higher than 144, or would we be wasting electrons?

The only news I really watch is NHK Newsline[0], which is outside my country.
Mainly because my wife's family is from the region (not Japan) and NHK is in English and live every hour. So I can stay up to date with events in the pacific and I don't hear much about US politics.

Do I miss some stuff? Sure, but the alternative is not watching the news at all or watching it in a non-english language.

I don't know about Os.js, specifically, but yes if you were going to implement a browser based OS for the purpose I described then local state would be relatively transient and state would be persisted on the enterprise side. There's no reason you need to use something like localStorage or indexedDb for anything, really. The only thing that buys you are performance and offline capabilities. But if security / keeping data "in the enterprise" is the priority then you can minimize what gets persisted locally.

I don't know, most of the things mentioned in the article seem like beginner mistakes that even I, as a casual reader of outdoors and prepper sites, already know about.

The reality is probably that in the event of a serious global catastrope, the seriously-prepared people will be fine, the sort-of-prepared people will be one step ahead of 99% of the population, and everyone else will be totally helpless.
"Chain in, rail out" is the standard advice. However, if you search around r/Factorio you'll see there's debate about whether that's the best advice for beginners.

Chain both in and out is supposedly the foolproof method, and apart from stations, rail signals are just an optimization.

Though I've played a lot of Factorio, I've never really felt the need to dive deeply in to signals, and I'm happy to just use the foolproof method and leave more optimized solutions for those who need them.

It would seem so. Been doing that since a while on my laptop for locally compiled stable kernels from kernel.org.

Already seems to be happening but much more upfront. In recent months, I've had two potential employers require I take a "personality" test but only about a quarter of the questions were personality/character attribute based, the rest were clearly intelligence questions, mostly recognizing patterns and testing memory. Tech companies have been pushing the limits of the "directly related to the job" exemption allowed by the Duke Power v Griggs decision for years. Looks like some are ready to simply ignore that court ruling entirely.
interesting, i'd love to do this too. but it sounds like there aren't any full-featured, opensource packages/projects that do this all-together? I'd love to hack the parts together, but i don't have the time/energy these days to do it.

thanks for the helpful keywords though, it helps point me in the right direction.
Well, in big orgs, that adopt Elixir/Erlang, along with other technologies with poor concurrency stories, those other ecosystems still need Kubernetes, Kafka, Redis and GRPC, to get by. elixir isn't going to make ruby or python apps magically concurrent. So that make sense.

However, in orgs that are primarily Elixir shops, I don't see a lot of Kafka or gRPC. (Redis is just useful, its more than just a queue and K8s and Elixir/Erlang compliment each other, btw.)

I agree those are useful tools, but I think the same goals can be achieved with different tools that don't make optimization hard. For example, type safe enums are one use of so-called algebraic data types found in Rust / Scala / Swift etc. (The language feature is called an enum in these languages, but it can represent a lot more than what people usually think of as an enumeration.)
> It's about purchasing power; not just real wages.

Real wage means purchasing power parity, or it should. These two statements cannot be true, if they are using the same definition of inflation:

- Real wages have risen over the past 50 years

- Today's real average wage has about the same purchasing power it did 40 years ago

The methodology must be different.

I think AI code assistants in-editor would be a really bad experience for beginners since discovering and dealing with hallucinations is going to be so much more painful. If someone is starting out, the best way to use AI to learn is probably still just through a web chat interface where you have continuity and can ask questions about any response that isn't working out. In-editor code completion is more useful if you already know exactly what you're looking for, but just want something else to type it out for you.

Startup founder here.

I can expand on this problem in a bit more detail, but it comes down to one key term: cost of acquisition.

There are only so many ways that a website can improve traffic flow. The best is if the site somehow goes viral since this is nominally free. This is a longshot and not likely to happen.

There are places where you can share your site/app with a receptive audience. FB Groups, Reddit, IndieHackers, ProductHunt, and even Hacker News comes to mind. Whether it works or not is somewhat dependent on the audience of the property. For example, travel apps aren't particularly popular with the HN crowd, but my app was on the top of r/InternetIsBeautiful for a full 24 hours and my initial batch of users came from r/TravelHacks. These are good for "bursts", but hard to sustain because you can't just keep posting to r/TravelHacks or HN with the same link.

Then there are paid ads on various ad networks or through content creators. These can be quite expensive and often, the cost of acquisition for a single converting user can be quite high! In the early days, this may not be feasible, especially as you're still trying to figure out your audience. One of the startups I worked at had a CAC over $100 via Facebook ads (!!!), but the product was such that they would make it back in 3 months of a user subscribing; the basic math worked as long as they could retain the user.

Then there's SEO. Effectively, this is "free" as long as you can do it well since you'll naturally show up in the resultset for given search terms. Because so much of our user interaction with the web has been initiated from search, this is one of the few things that can be done to improve traffic and visibility. (I think this is changing with generations and with ChatGPT; younger generations may initiate their web journey through a social channel rather than through search.)

TL;DR: SEO isn't a "silly strategy"; it can be one of the most cost effective ways to get visibility because the cost of acquisition is cheap and works well over a long time scale compared to other options.

Even in Belgium, one of the highest density countries in the EU, most existing and newly built houses are semi-detached, with about twice as much semi-detached + detached houses as there are terraced houses.

In France, terraced homes are rather uncommon outside the North close to Belgium, and old city centers. In fact, I don't even know if we have a name for detached houses, as far as I know they're just called "a house" while a terraced house is a "city house".

So I don't have the numbers for all of the EU but I don't think most homes are actually terraced homes in the EU.

And people do have grass lawns, but only where grass actually grows without too much care needed. Where I come from on the coast grass doesn't grow well on the sandy ground and lawns are uncommon, but a few kilometres inland if you don't do anything you get a mostly-grass lawn, with a lot of clover, daisies and often orchids growing in it.
Preppers forget that society preps, too, just not necessarily at the individual level. We have warehouses full of extra stock etc, and carefully-managed supply chains, and emergency services. This is all prepping.

I think preppers should pour their energy in to helping society prepare, and not just turn their back on the very reason they exist.

p.s. I don't consider taking sensible precautions like having a well-stocked medicine cabinet, fuel in the car, and some food in the freezer "prepping".

What are you talking about? Do you really think all you need to accurately predict global climate trends hundreds of years into the future is the chemical properties of a single gas? If you do actually believe that then your knowledge of climatology is very poor indeed.

The problems with the science here are legion, starting with the fact that the climate is far too complicated to predict given only knowledge of the chemical properties of CO2!

Consider the thousands of factors you need to also fully understand. Climate models don't properly handle the effects of clouds, they don't understand how energy is absorbed by the ocean, and they aren't even calibrated against reliable temperature measurements which is one reason estimates of the core ECS variable (the key to the whole thing) have been getting wider over time, not narrower. As in, literally, the constant you want to see scientists agree on has been losing consensus, not gaining it.

Your problem is that you think reality is very simple, and that's why you struggle to understand why anyone could possibly disagree with your views. Go spend a few months trying to explain why the models are diverging both from observation and each other - a scientific fact - and then you may start to find it possible to understand "talk show yappers" or whoever else you imagine is your enemy.
Yes, industrial-technological civilization is only possible due to cooperation of human beings at a very large scale. If that cooperation breaks down, everything goes back to pre-industrial technology, at best - and even that required a great deal of cooperation, as any examination of pre-industrial agriculture-centric society demonstrates. The provision of wood for buildings and ships, fabrics for clothing and sails, simple metal implements as weapons and farming tools, etc all required social cooperation and division of labor, which in turned required legal systems to prevent internecine conflicts from constantly breaking out. If that in turn fails, we're back to tribal hunter-gatherer societies, an unlikely option without a collapse in human population to the 10,000 B.C. levels.

This is fairly obvious to anyone who hasn't been completely indoctrinated into the myth of individual success based on hard work - a myth largely promoted to justify the consolidation of wealth and resources into the hands of a small ruling oligarch class in the modern world, see for example Margaret Thatcher's line 'there is no such thing as society' and so on.

That said, it's possible that modern technological developments might be able to create the kind of technology that could allow people to survive quite happily with minimal external inputs of raw materials, via extensive recycling of finished goods back into raw materials, use of incident energy (sunlight and wind), but the problem would be creation of the technological tools and maintenance of those tools, which would almost certainly require high-tech factories operating at scale. If those factories could somehow be miniaturized and also be highly adaptable (still in the realm of science fiction, no backyard chip foundries at present) then concepts like a self-sustaining Martian habitat could become more plausible.
