Agreed. Also, I make a great salary (> $190k) and I work 4 days a week, 5-6 hours a day (or less) most of the time (my work is 100% task based and not hours based). Why would I slave over a company when I can get paid just as much, if not more doing what I love while having tons of free time doing other things I love?
The reality was that years of gaming with games such as Bards Tale, I was a master of the ten-key - in bards tale you would memorize the key patterns to get from dungeon to store to dungeon to inn etc...

Before that, we used "Pathminder" to manage our BBS warez directories and such, all keyboard navigation
So since middle grades I was ten-keying my way through dungeons and villages like a wraith

(and I had a grocery store inventorying job in highschool, with a ten-key on my thigh.

So Windows 95 was extremely easy to navigate and memorize all it's keyboard shorts and clicks..

Honestly, it's way better than Windows 11

> But I still cannot find any discount property that is discounted because it's next to the ocean

Sea levels are expected to rise about a foot in the next 30 years, which will impair some coastal property but not all (much worse on the east coast than the west).

It's much worse on a 60-100 year timeframe. If a discount were being applied, you'd expect most of the reduction in value to be 50 years out. The present values of enjoyment over the next 50 years could far exceed those residual values, and so it could be hard to observe any discount that is present. E.g. even if future sea level rise lops 10% off the value, other factors could add more in the short term.
The market needs inventory for prices to adjust. With the "high" interest rates (really more like historically normal), home owners with a 3% mortgage don't want to sell, since they'll be trading their 3% loan for a 7% loan. So even though there are not a lot of buyers, there are not a lot of sellers either, so there is no pressure to reduce prices. Perhaps the the air bnb owners selling will provide enough inventory to let the shortage of buyers drive down prices...
>>and it voided the warranty.

Opening the laptop would not void any warranty in the EU, or US.

That is FUD. Manufacturers can not prevent people from "opening their devices" with threats of voiding warranty, and even putting the stickers that say that are illegal for which the FTC sent a latter to many manufacturers including Apple to tell them to knock that off.

I wasn't clueless when I built a tiny functionality into Code-OSS and I'm fine with Microsoft (or M$?) slapping telemetry on VSCode. You know, the crash reporter and usage statistics are the foundation of this incredible product/software. People use that software for free and they can disable telemetry at any time.

I'd rather work a week on VSCode for free than spending a day looking at Jetbrains' Java font rendering or waiting for Visual Studio to start.
Depends on how you define "normal". My parents had a 4 7/8% mortgage on a house they bought in 1966. (The only difference is that they had a prepayment penalty. The 1970s and 80s taught lenders why they shouldn't put that in.)

So, depending on your time frame, the 70s and 80s were abnormally high, post-2008 was abnormally low, and 5%-ish is "normal". (I think, if you keep going back, 5% continues to be kind of normal, but I don't have the data in front of me.)

> Her deeply religious family have spent their entire life savings on her care and has complained that a “transparency order” requested by the hospital barred their ability to give details on the case to help raise public funds.

This is the most vile part of the British legal system - how it casually gags those involved from talking about it.

Edit: Otherwise, I would highlight master_crab's comment [1] - it's not 100% clear what "denied" means from this article. The BBC has more information [2] - it seems there may be a treatment available some time in the future in Canada, and the patient wants to stay on life-sustaining care in the hopes she survives long enough to get it, and the NHS/hospital is denying coverage for said care. "Triage" is disturbingly absent from both articles - it seems the hospital is making the perverse argument that this is in her best interest, and not a simple lack of resources.

While we don't have all the details, it is the hospital-requested "transparency order" that is to blame for this (the BBC article omits it, but Fox reported it [3]), we should apply the opposite of the benefit of the doubt - assume the information we've been legally barred from having is maximally incriminating.

I've got several decades of experience with the things Microsoft has given away for free. I consider this to be an (entirely on-brand and consistent) asshole move, part of the same EEE cycle we've been through a dozen times with a dozen product lines. It's enough to keep me off even the open-source rebuild of the product.
Sounds like that's exactly the solution. Build more housing until supply meets demand, even if demand rises. It's not as if the population is infinite.
With Vscodium you also aren't exposed to all the closed source extensions (e.g. Pylance). MS aggresively pushes proprietary extensions on everyone, which does only heaven knows what to your data and machine. Vscode is in all practical purposes open core surrounded by a lot of closed source. This despite the fact that they like to pretend they altruistically love open source.

Same old MS as ever. Only trust what you can verify with that lot.
What's actually expiring in these machines? They are built on known technologies like BIOS, ARM, Wi-Fi. In other computers and laptops, I can update the software for 8-10+ years before stuff gets screwy. I get that they can stop updates due to minimum RAM or display resolution requirements, but this isn't that.

This isn't the case for Android because of the SOC blob and how entwined it is with the Linux kernel, but that reasoning doesn't apply here.
I trust big tech more than most FOSS.

I'm not worried about the government spying on me or ad tracking, I'm worried about a random hacker.

It's ironic that for a lot of people the concept of privacy has been inverted: The closer someone is to you the more we want to hide from them.

Facebook showing my online status to acquaintances(Or the lack of an online status, which could also create suspicion that I'm hiding something) bothers me more often than a random Google employee listening in through my alarm clock.
He may of told the story in other places, but I remember that it was discussed in the book Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!.

He would act as a bloodhound, smelling books, then having people handle the book without him present, then identifying which book a person handled by smelling their hands. I believe he did it also with playing cards after identifying the differences in the way people's hands smelled.

> It is something I have been wondering about: why did Meta not keep the training process going on while the loss curves seemed to go down?

If I remember correctly, it's because the main reason they trained multiple models was to show a scaling trend. Each model was trained using a chinchilla-optimal mix of model size, cpu amount, and parameter size. The point was to provide an empirical scaling law that could possibly be extrapolated to estimate the performance of more expensive models, like imagine a billion dollar model for which the model size, data size, and cpu amount is picked in the chinchilla optimal ratios.

On small models the chinchilla optimal scaling stops training the model even when the model is still improving.

The problem comes when people are actually using these small llama models rather than treating them as just data points. If you are actually using these models, what you want is one that is trained forever on as many tokens and training time as possible.

If the rules are backed by strong enforcement, it will gut the market and likely result in many airbnb investor-type landlords selling properties.

It's not a caste thing, let's not make everything a caste thing. I've got similar messages from many Asians in general.

It's based on a bunch of blogs/influencers asking folks to always reach out to someone in a company on LinkedIn and ask for a referral even if you don't know them.

A referral is not a recommendation. Most companies have referral programs where they can refer pretty much anyone and you don't explicitly have to know them. Referrals kind of help people get ahead of queue when HR is reviewing the application in the first phase.

Huh. According to this post the payment-to-income ratio now is around where it was in the early 2000s, but is higher than in the 1990s. Both still significantly lower than the 40% your parents paid.

Red and green lights are the global navigation standard, red on port, green on starboard. The ships with the red light will be facing with port to the photographer, the ships with green starboard, the few that you can see a mix, will be head on or head away.

The lights are designed to be easily seen at up to the horizon limit, so it's no surprise that you can see them a handful of miles up and at a low angle (it's generally easy to see lights in the dark from miles away anyway as anyone that has done scouting/girl-guiding will likely know since it's a common thing to do)

I appreciate your perspective. My focus on environmental topics is driven by my genuine interest and the belief that they're under-represented here.

Chromebooks are different because they were created by Google and you are an absolute fool to think you will get long term support from them. Or any support at all. Google has never, ever been in the business of support.

Could not agree more. Google is nothing but assaulting the integrity of the educational system and well-being of the children and our common future. The value is not only not added, but is taken away from the educational process. I thought Microsoft was evil in the 90s, but seeing this soulless monster of a corporation anywhere near my children feels like a freaking horror movie.
Rails is a niche that went through a hype phase 10-15 years ago. It's not going to die any time soon, but it's also one of these languages that hasn't as many job opportunities (especially outside of major tech hubs) as other stacks.

The amount of frontend JS developers is many times larger than the amount of Ruby on Rails developers so the fact that there is less "stability" is hardly surprising.
Teachers are always looking for a way to teach without doing any work. And the students want to learn without making any effort.

It'll never work.

All that is needed for teaching is a teacher with a blackboard, and a student with pencil and paper. Right up through quantum mechanics.
There are all sorts of renter protections that come into play once you are no longer a short term vacationer. I think these protections will turn “investors” off.
Someone mentioned in this thread that a likely scenario is these landlords switching to mid- or long-term rentals instead of selling. Which sounds very plausible to me, especially in a city like NYC, where the rental market is always hot.
I would definitely reposition the thumb cluster on the KA to be slightly lower (no more than 1cm lower really), however I didn't find this to be a problem for me.

I rest my hands with the pinky/thumb at about 15' (that is, the hand is is not with the palm flat but at about 45" compared to the keyboard). If I extend pinky and thumb, they're naturally on the same plane.

If I could tent the halves though that 1cm of difference would be nice.

On the kinesis I can hit comfortably ctrl+alt + "=" (and pretty much any other key on either half) with thumb+pinky, on both halves. Holding shift is also entirely possible with pinky or ring, even in combination with ctrl/alt/ctrl+alt and while typing with the remaining 3 fingers.

Seems a stupid thing to do when written, and maybe it is, but hey .. emacs, and I'm doing it with ease actually. I normally chord the modifiers with one hand and type with the other, but if there's a weird combination I'll just do it with a single hand too.

I could definitely 3d-print an entire glove80 mock if I found a model.

For a long time I've been pondering about just 3d-printing a modified dacytl to fit my own preferences, but it's one of those things I wish to just pay for, have some QC without wasting time, and be done.
Local sentiment supports your view as well. Lots of my friends and family (hi from Sarajevo) hold belief that if Ukraine had fallen within couple of days there would be war here.
There are various methods for removing unused parts of the model, like distillation. The idea is generally that you always lose performance, but hopefully you lose more size/runcost than you do performance, proportionately.

''running ond old HW is probably counterproductive if you only value ecology''
I could be wrong, but i think the opposite than you.

You are being reductionist, and only accounting for the factor of direct eletrical consumption during use, and not the total energy and natural resources spent during the equipments lifetime , specially its manufacturing (which i think is the real measure of ecological efficiency we should aim).

The old hardware was already produced, resources were spent and pollution and emissions were made, so it is a duty that we should use it as much as possible until irrepairable breakdown happens, and reduce our consumption of new stuff that would only replace it. Like your example of a new smartphone or new steamdeck replacing the old Xbox Original: it is almost certain that the electrical consumption gains would not compensate, in terms of total energy and resources spent and pollution made, the discarting of the original xbox (in fact, it would generate more waste that would need to be reprocessed, generating even more pollution).

Remember the 3Rs ? The 1st R is REDUCE, not ''replace stuff every 3-5 years to get slightly less eletric consumption''.
It is kind of the point of the Permacomputing movement the OP mentioned: perma comes from perma-nent, make computers that last much longer lifespans than the current system.
If people could repurpose old PS3s and Xbox for playing indies, and bigger games we demaked to it, people could keep using the stuff and buy less.

I wasn't criticizing you for putting it mildly – especially given your role in the site. However, I think it's also legitimate to point out that sloppy passages like the one I quoted undermine the author's overall credibility. Most people are (like me) reading this casually and won't have the time or resources to independently verify the more interesting claims. If someone makes up patent nonsense about the present day, how far can I trust them to accurately report far more obscure historical facts?
Thanks so much. That feels much more in line with intuition.

So maybe not technically renewable, but many orders of magnitude more renewable than e.g. fossil fuels...
As someone who grew up in similar circumstances in the 90s but in South Africa (no home internet, no books, no friends no help at all) and then finally found Denthor of Asphyxia's tutorials (as well as PCGPE and eventually Huge), I was super gutted to find there wasn't really a South African graphics coding scene, it was basically just him :/

Mode 13h changed my life and set me on the course to being a graphics coder today (along with an email from John Carmack!), it's been such an amazing ride with hardware getting exponentially faster every year (RIP to that). I ought to get mov ax, 13h; int 10h tattooed along with 0xa0000, 0x3c8, 0x3c9 or something :)
This should be a rare event. If it’s not it’s also a sign of immaturity and disorder. Not worth it, especially as a senior engineer.
When I used it at my work for a bit, it didn't require a custom root cert. Steam's client has native support for it by checking a "lancache.steamcontent.com" DNS entry. I believe the rest were served over http; it looks like EA Origin switched to https at some point and broke caching for it.

Though Steam now does support computer-to-computer transfers over LAN (added for Steam Deck). You do have to enable a setting to allow other users to download, but it's definitely less hassle.

I am not seeing this. Major companies are forcing the issue, and employee can pound their refusal all they want but at the end of the day I think we not going to see a normal fully remote work force.

At best you are going to see a hybrid where you get 2 or 3 days a week of WFH, and the balance in the office.

Further from personal experience I somewhat agree with the management because I have seen LOTS of abuse of WFH from employees.

The question is why US spying is treated differently than Chinese and Russian. The answer is that China and Russia behave dramatically differently than the US does. I never made any claim as to the US being some flawless benevolent entity, but I made a clear argument (that you've not refuted) as to why most of the global community views them differently.
