I don't know why the author doesn't simply open a shell buffer in emacs, but that's their business.

Piece of fun trivia: EMACS used to have a mode for use on a printing terminal. It worked, as long as you had an idea of what your file looked like, same as any other non-visual editor (like ed before a display mode was grafted onto it to form vi). Of course this was as crazy as using vi on a printing terminal, since EMACS started out as an easier way to use TECO after a visual mode had been added to that. I guess the printing mode was worth it for EMACS users who never learned TECO.

More usefully it had a "slow terminal" mode. Printing terminals were slow, but many people connected to computers at 300 baud or even slower! So in slow terminal mode you could use the full display power of EMACS but it was very selective about how it updated your display. Back then most terminals had very limited cursor control, and you couldn't always change an arbitrary character. Still, avoiding a full screen repaint at 110 baud was a win.

I doubt either of these modes survived the relatively recent (1980s) ports of emacs (as it is now known) to C/Lisp. But a special line for single-line editing through an emacsclient could be a win in this case.
Yes, but! People, not systems, are the moral actors. And yes, while a lot of problems are more or less systemic, in many cases those systems have control levers that happen to be in the reach of a small number of people. Finally, pointing the fingers and creating ethical, social and legal pressure for people closest to control levers, is a form of systemic response too - it's adding a back flow to form a feedback loop.

You can be infected with a pathogen without developing the disease associated with the pathogen.
ChromeOS is surprisingly solid, between the Android and Linux support you can run basically anything short of heavy desktop games on it.

For all the Chrome memes, ChromeOS's desktop environment is really snappy (even on a passively cooled dualcore throttling down to 500MHz) and uses up basically no RAM (once you dig into the terminal and top, and realize the task manager reports cache as used… sigh).
I would consider it truthful though worth depends on what you want to get out of it. I see it as entertainement with some light information. The video basically is them playing around with the display and trying out the different refresh modes. This includes a light introduction on eink and color eink.
This is wild to me as a portrait/wedding/commercial photographer. Part of me is incredibly excited for the ways tech like this can speed up/dramatically improve my workflow and artistic capabilities. The other part of me is terrified - I shifted away from graphic design with the AI art explosion, but this makes me feel like it won’t be long until the average person no longer needs to hire a photographer either.
We should leave it all to monied interests spending billions on propaganda?
Not true at all.

Examples:

If you value extensive user customization of the UI? Android is the only real choice.

If you value privacy & security at all then an iPhone is the only real choice.

You can do this with many more things. There are absolutely meaningful measures they differ on.

That you don’t care about them beyond media consumption is a you problem, not an everyone problem
I'm using an old 11" Asus on my current trip but it's out of support and I probably won't use it again. With no more Google hardware which a liquid spill killed, not sure what I'll do for travel going forward. <aybe my 13 yo MacBook Pro going forward for a while while I keep a newer MacBook mostly at home. Maybe an Air at some point. Probably not worth another Chromebook at this point even if it's cheap.

Hows the stability/userability?

After running Fedora, I've noticed ~100% of my bugs come from using Nividia. I imagine going directly to CPU makes running linux easy?

My Raspi4 had basically no problems once I installed it on the final TV I'd be using main.
The news is that those models with an i3+ and 8GB of ram will be branded differently to 'help inform the customer of enhanced performance and abilities'. They are trying to shed the image of all chromebooks being thought of by the $159 one that the school gave their kid.
Yikes! Is that why mixing earl grey and condensed milk never got me the same results? Is this true of all major chains? I could easily see myself becoming addicted to boba tea if it was available more widely, and for breakfast, which is when I actually want it.
There are people who drink that much Diet Coke each day. I wonder if it's the same type of thing?
and sugar - lots of it. Needs a control group that consumes equivalent quantities of sweet caffeinated soda.
> tea with milk in it

"Milk tea" can be your typical british tea with a dash of milk, or a 750ml abomination that hits your weekly intake of sugar.

It's like saying starbucks atrocities are "coffee with milk"
Photoaging is the term and a quick search yields a few studies. Ex: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8802961/.
And anecdotally, I never used sun screen and was exposed to a lot of sunburns in the Mediterranean climate. My skin is visibly older and more wrinkled than my peers who used skin protections. My back is full of freckles and dermatologist said this is due to sunburn. I guess sunburn doesn’t need a lot of studies to show it’s very damaging to the skin?
I was raised to think for myself and avoid doing things just because my friends do them. It's worked out rather well for me, and I very much intend to help my kids learn the same.
Nothing particular about Tesla, but I wish the American mighty industry would jump on this "gold rush" and build out so many extensive "charge-in outlets" all around the country. Make a chain of diners, fast food places, quick shopping outlets, massage centers and what not. Wouldnt it be a business's wet dream to have customers that "need" to spend 15 - 45 mins at their shop while their car charges?! Particularly those that have enough money to buy an electric car in the first place.
You will now be able to, in 3.12 run multiple CPython VMs inside the same process w/o having them share state. Previously CPython VM state was spread over a bunch of global variables so you had one GIL per process embedding Python.

For your usecase, eventually that ProcessPoolExecutor.map will be GillFreeThreadPoolExecutor.map and all the cross process serialization shenanigans will go away.
The intent of Unicode was to have a universal solution for humans. Excluding one case, even if it's remote, would defeat this mission statement.
Yet swipe interactions themselves were first implemented—generally speaking that is—in the iOS UI.
Yes, it’s my “reality” distortion field that AppleScript wasn’t around until 2000 (which you were wrong about), that the Microsoft settlement didn’t involve QT (which you were wrong about), that Job’s sued MS (which you were wrong about) and that it wasn’t well supported by third parties (you were wrong about that too - I used it to do some automation around MS Office by 1995). Since you didn’t even know that AppleScript existed in 1993, how are you suppose to have any credibility about its history?

I actually used it shortly after it was introduced.

So what video were you playing on Windows around the time that QT was introduced?

Do you know what demo was on the QT 3.5 disk that Apple sent out?

Your “facts” are so wrong that you couldn’t have possible been working with Macs when these events occurred.
There certainly is an equivalent of NIMBY in Western asylum politics.

A lot of Green/Progressive voters in Western Europe live in affluent neighbourhoods where practical effects of current migration waves are very limited, and often positive (e.g. cheap workforce for your household, but your kids' school does not suffer from any gang activity).

Voting patterns across income groups tend to reflect that discrepancy.
These people will end up training the LLMs. And there's nothing you can do about it.
With some devices 'rs232' seems more like a guideline than a spec sometimes :)
i didn't say that voting has no effect. i said that it is not relevant to the point we were discussing which is the establishing of a personal identity. the identity is dependent on the amount of anonymity provided by the forum.

sure, voting does affect how and what people write, but it doesn't affect the fact that it is practically not possible to establish an identity on 4chan, and that it is still difficult on hackernews, because names of posters do not stand out, and in my own experience it very often escapes my notice if i am responding to the same person as before or to a different one.

i also can not see if a message has been upvoted or what the posters reputation is (unless i go look up the karma points, and count the number of messages and links they posted) so i can't seek out or avoid people or messages based on that. whereas in other forums that information is readily visible with each post, which in turn affects who and what i pay attention to.

on hackernews this results in me focusing on each message by itself just like i would on 4chan, and it is independent of the voting that goes on here. btw, i also read dead messages, which means i even ignore the downvotes and make my own judgement of the message, which further reduces the effect of voting, at least for my person.

another interesting point is that when i first joined hackernews i used to close all my messages with a greeting like a signature, which was not welcome and shows that standing out, which is something that would help establish an identity, is not desired here.
It runs git, vim (or emacs, if you're feeling frisky) and docker, that covers a lot of software dev use cases.
Well at the moment the UK could really benefit from tax revenue from a certain prosperous former colony so that sounds good to me. Not sure about the benefit for the colony.

That's tricky, for sure. My 'workaround' has long been converting codepoints into byte sequences and creating a character dictionary from that. Based on the source corpus, this dictionary can be further expanded/compressed and used for downstream processing.
Sounds like a management being too fucking stupid to live problem. If the idea of a Bob Smith committing bestiality doesn't mean all Bob Smiths fuck animals is a foreign concept to them. Or that given Bob Smiths are different people.
There is nothing in the constitution that says states can't secede. Just because some people in the 1800s went to war over it doesn't mean people in 2100's have to kill each other. Peaceful secession is always an option.
Right, it's clear why owners would want this and how they benefit. They were talking about its effects on workers however.
Hints for Distributed Systems Design (2023)
Is it possible that the subscription came with a modem lended by the company which the customer had to send back to cancel their subscription? I think nowadays in the US people tend to buy their router (people more knowledgeable than me, please correct me) but in France for instance, one usually rents their router from their ISP as part of their subscription. Maybe it Dial-up World used to do the same in 1999?

That’s because the link points to yahoo.com but the actual source is the Guardian. I can’t prove this but I suspect that yahoo.com uses a very primitive LLM to summarize articles from other pubs.

Here is the guardian story. There are paragraphs about the backlash:

As kind of a general rule, if you see yahoo.com dig for the source publication and then google:

I think the answer is fairly simple: you've got to bring a project with you that you know won't require downloading dependencies or online research. That's either because you've advanced the project to a sufficient state that you've got the dependencies downloaded, or because it's a project without 3rd party dependencies.

If nothing comes to mind, take a bunch of screenshots of leetcodes and try to implement them. It's good for programming skills, and good for your career. There's nothing boring or "work-like" about leetcodes; they are often touching upon academic computer science. It's a perfectly respectable intellectual activity and a good thing to be doing in the woods.
> Electric cars are still something beneficial to the sustainability of the car industry and the environment.

Hard disagree, they're a sidestep at best (batteries aren't made of magic green recycled pixie dust, the electricity to charge them doesn't come of 100% renewables, usually, tire dust still contributes massively to plastic pollution), detrimental at worst, especially when sold as an extremely shitty and inefficient alternative to public transit, as they are in the Las Vegas Loop.

> sure Musk is an ahole, is he an evil ahole like some othe CEOs? I don't know...

I mean, have you heard Bezos or anyone of his ilk actively sabotage a defensive military campaign thus enabling the continuation of genocide, or give popularity to neo-fascist talking points?
I assume the creator didn't anticipate this amount of readers at the same time and having one or two other cursors on the page does sound fun and not too distracting. They should probably limit the maximum amount of other cursors displayed to a sensible amount
Right but that just says you didn't care about evolution's goal, about reproduction. The paperclip Maximiser sets up a very weird scenario.

In your reproduction example, it would be like if you did decide or care to reproduce but then killed all your children soon after.

The problem about the paperclip Maximiser isn't really that it doesn't care about humans, presumably it didn't care about them before this goal. The problem with the paperclip Maximiser is that it cares about the goal but not the intent behind it and is supposedly generally intelligent. Humans don't work this way. We don't know any intelligence that does so it's an odd scenario.
The problem here is more "no price on carbon emissions" than "people game regulations" in my opinion.
:) Oh, this is neat! Python 3.12.0 has brought some cool features to the table. I'm particularly keen on the flexible f-string parsing and the performance improvements. The new type annotation syntax for generic classes is a nice touch too. It's always good to see Python getting refined with each release. Looking forward to exploring these new additions...

Seems like a poor argument against environmentalism though. "That guy who said we should be nice to each other was mean to someone! Therefore being nice is stupid and we should all be as cruel as possible!"
Yeah agreed, especially on the error propagation part. Its especially egregious when trying to send results through channels, I just wish I had the Result enum from rust every time.

So apple wins on overall experience then?

Because it’s impossible to separate the experience of a physical device from its hardware OR a device from its network of services & products.

All you’re really saying here is you can make android look pretty (god knows it’s not by default).

And Android still has awful scrolling on anything but its most high end hardware. That’s just… sad.
What a strange way to phrase that statement. So what they really meant is that 23% of participants "almost never drink milk tea".

> Oy, how often his column would send me into a rage. He sold himself is just a real user reporting what it was like to use a given machine or bit of software he was reviewing. He was anything but.

A parody:

I called Jan Toady, president of Hyena, who indicated that a helicopter
of ground-assault technical assistants was hovering near Fractal Manor
24 hours a day and that all I had to do was give the word and they'd
parachute in. (Based on my own experience, I think Hyena offers the
best service in the business, and not just because I mention their
products every month in my column which millions of avid computer
buyers read either. I bet you'd get the same service I do. Recommended.)
I chuckled and said I'd try to puzzle it out a little more myself. He

Please don't refer to codepoints as characters. Some are, some are not, it isn't a useful or informative approximation, it's just wrong. Unicode is a table which assigns unique numbers to different codepoints, most of which are characters. ZWJ is not a character at all, and extended grapheme clusters made of several codepoints are.

I don't remember which specific audio CD ripper software it was, but one of my most favoritist features ever was the "Try really hard" checkbox. This was used if you had a disc which was hard to read from either scratches or dirty or whatever. I never looked into exactly what it did, but I had assumed that a normal read just read, but try really hard would make use of the error correction which the math caused the slower reads.

To this day, I've been known to write functions called tryReallyHard() even if I haven't made a UI option explicitly for it, yet.
I think Cisco has the highest marketshare in terms of commercial routers, and probably a higher percentage of use in areas that might be of state actor interest. If you have a WatchGuard for example there may be the same amount of vulnerabilities but less incentive to find them, and less people looking for breaches after the fact.
Linux to Disable All RNDIS Protocol Drivers
Unix-like systems were just not very useful back then, the MC68k didn't even have memory protection. Most apps back then were written to run on bare metal, with few or no layers to abstract away hardware access. It's only with the MC68020 and the Intel 80386 that MMU's and memory protection became a default feature that could be relied on to exist.

And *nix like OS's were ported to the hardware shortly thereafter.
As a former GPU architect, that's really interesting, thanks! I didn't realise A53's caches were strictly in-order and couldn't service hits ahead of misses, I always assumed this was something even much simpler designs were capable of.

I think complexity of verification as an argument against out-of-order is questionable, because if out-of-order resulted in a better core and a competitor did manage to build and properly verify such a core, then they would have a strong competitive advantage. But that might not be true in practice given the area/power cost.

As an aside: different GPU vendors also have different limitations when it comes to in-order vs out-of-order caches, and GPUs have the extra complexity that loads are effectively doing "gather", e.g. 32-wide warps doing a load with 32 addresses that may or may not uniquify, so a single "return" to the shader processor may be anything from 1 to 32 (or even 64) cachelines.

And GPU gets even more tricky with the texture unit doing trilinear+anisotropic filtering, so a single pixel may require 32x as many inputs, and you may even get into situations where the cache isn't big enough (or doesn't have enough ways) to handle the worst case and you have to revert to in-order for certain modes, or process things at a finer granularity than entire warps! Or just do in-order for everything with huge latency FIFOs and accept the latency cost. Lots of different ways to handle this, also depending on what granularity of returns your shader processor can handle. As you said, both modern CPUs and GPUs can't really be defined using simple labels.

Gather makes things a lot harder for load pipelines so I'm not surprised Zen4 seems to still just split it into uOps, but I'm curious exactly how Intel solves handles it in their CPU microarchitecture. Sadly this is the kind of thing that's practically impossible to know as an outsider!

If you compare numbers between A510 on TSMC N4 and A16 on N4 (as close as you'll be getting without detailed info about layout libraries), you'll find Apple's little core winning in both performance per watt and overall performance.

I think the real tradeoff was area as Apple's little cores seem to be a lot bigger than A510.
network effects of say, Facebook steering people into more extreme content, will reflect back when they join more extreme Telegram channels, with it being at least decently plausible that further interaction on Telegram will steer them into yet further Facebook Groups or into the influence of content creators elsewhere still.

the distinction is where the steering comes from. on facebook the steering is affected by the algorithm, which decided what messages you see, while on telegram it is not.

on facebook, twitter, youtube etc, i can be confronted with extreme content that i didn't ask for.

on telegram, whatsapp, wechat, etc, i only get content that i explicitly asked for.
