It's kind of funny seeing the Intel iGPU being bashed even though the basic GPU in the low-end M chips is barely better. In fact it can run less display and since it is Metal only, many games will run worse.
But I guess Intel iGPUs are bad yes, the point is they were never supposed to be anything else than display drivers...
Intel actually made GPUs and even though they were drivers issues, they are pretty decent for the price, everything considered.

As for the rest, Apple enjoyed a lead in the phone chips for a while, but a lot of it is related to the cash at hand and the possibility to sell most of your products at very high margin. Androids didn't invest as much money, because there is significantly less people willing to put as much cash in a phone if it doesn't come with the "social status" thing Apple has.
And now even though the Qualcomm chips are somewhat worse than Apple's, it doesn't matter for the vast majority of people. In the end Apple went and chased premium margin instead of volume and I think it's going to bite them in the ass in the long term because in technology volume and network effect are what matters.
There are many "superior" technologies that disappeared or never really took off just because of that, so I doubt Apple will fare much better.
I think it's all downhill from here and by the time they notice they actually have to compete on price they will have lost the war since there will be less people willing to go for the non-standard.
But then we will hear about how their competitors are villain monopolist oppressing them even though they had the money and means to pursue a more general competitive approach.

Apple fans seems to believe they are winning with their efficient chips but as far as I am concerned, they are losing everywhere it matters. High performance desktop, device convergences, cloud, AI, gaming, 3D focused softwares...
They still have 3 OS and laughed at Microsoft unifying strategy, but now a Surface can run both desktop software and more mobile optimized software gracefully and you still have to run a half assed iOS "big" version on a 1k+ iPad Pro.

I’m not talking about subjective things, I’m talking about keyboards objectively wearing out 3–10× as fast as any reputable brand’s. I’ve deliberately filtered for objective cases like my own, including querying specifically on the nature of what was bad in at least a couple of cases. I’m not talking about opinions, I’m talking about a keyboard becoming decidedly spongy in less than one year (compare the feel of the least- and most-frequently-used keys—on ones like ASUS and Microsoft, it’s taken much longer than that before I can readily discern any difference), and and almost uselessly bad within two years, in ways that other companies’ haven’t failed in four years (… though others haven’t been without their problems, but I’ve never had one get anywhere near as bad in general in three or four years as the Clevo one was after a little over one year).

You should see if you can put in a request with USCIS (called a Service Request) and also contact your local federal Representative and ask this person to make an inquiry with USCIS (something that is not a big ask and is done all the time and sometimes seems to make a big difference).
Between things like the Apple watch, and the upcoming glasses-based interfaces, this seems to kinda do nothing well and some of those things, just more poorly. It's beautiful, definitely interesting, but seems pretty dead in the water.

The MIT wearable demo from a few years ago which used a similar concept to project an interface in the real world was incredibly compelling, but mostly because it assumed near flawless real world AI object recognition, along with flawless projection onto said items. They'll need to demonstrate this on this particular device, before this becomes remotely interesting. Yes, it's a "detail", but I think for a lot of this kind of tech, demonstrating just how DEEPLY you can go into the interactions is sort of the whole point if they are thinking of replacing the kinds of devices that we depend on.
Replace? No. Highly reduce? Absolutely.
Exactly. The mistake was thinking that the responsibility stemmed from the employeeing entity.

It shouldn't.

It's clearly more linked to the type and structure of work performed.
I think you could make fundamentally the same argument for a great number of the issues in the world today. It's a huge web of banal evils. That doesn't mean that it excuses the behavior of any given cog in that machine though. If we allow blame to be passed on indefinitely because everything is broken then nothing will ever be fixed.

I really do think so but time will tell.
The issue is that your private communications are now audible by the people around you. It’s one thing when it’s to another person and you can whisper and share social context, it’s another when it’s at a good volume and contextless.
Ah, well I guess I did take it as an example of something that was incompatible. It served well enough as a vehicle to drive the conversation forwards.

The iterator invalidation occurs when push_back(), insert() or erase() are called, presumably among others, so you'd also want to overload the iterator increment and decrement operators too (oh!, not to forget end(), or rend() if you are going the other way...). I'm not sure what operators and methods would be called on passing to an std::algorithm like std::find or std::sort. Most likely the only way to find out for certain would be to make everything inaccessible and replace piecemeal until the compiler was happy to run to completion.

I'd want to take a closer look where it's instantiated, but if all the uses are 'auto', well let's just say I'd be unhappy to say the least.
Spothero. I have problems with about 5% of the parking spots I reserve through them, which is a massive number compared to most websites I use. But their support reps are so awesome that I keep going back.

Ah, so for the sake of capturing conceptual / perceived "objects", the global shutter, at least, can do a better job at what would be perceived during a short period of time that the shutter opens and captures each pixel.

A rolling shutter might capture points along the way but leave gaps in comparison. In the laser pointer example, you'd probably want a longer exposure, but the global shutter would still give you uniform capture better matching what your eyes / brain perceived.
How many will actually do that when presented with convincing, accurate-sounding information?

There's the problem... and it defeats the entire purpose of using a tool like GPT.
The game is that the contractors are supposedly not working for the company that they're actually working for. Anything that might break that illusion puts the company at risk of needing to treat them as the actual employees that they are.
I appreciate Jezebel sharing that this generally-undiscussed form of domestic violence exists and confirming it with their readers. It's certainly not something I would have considered had they not raised the issue.
Medical advice from a service that regurgitates words in an order that reads vaguely like English and may, but probably not be, sound correct seems like a poor choice for patients.

Of all the reasons to complain about a programming language, the package manager not being elitist enough is certainly an original one.
They'll just monetize it behind a $19.99 fee. And then they still won't do it, leading to some data leak, for which they'll be fined $2,000,000 despite having profited about $30,000,000 from it.

Also with the MMC option gone (so the PCB area can be reclaimed), thicker fans and cooling solution, different internal size battery and screen, I wonder if the entire mainboard has been redesigned.
> Taking 1.2 seconds to review claims means they are without any question "doing something wrong"

Nobody said they aren’t. The point is, given the volume of claims, to do a proper analysis, we’d need a material fraction of doctors doing insurance reviews (instead of seeing patients). So we get a reliance on heuristics.

If you’re lenient, you get targeted by fraudsters. So we get a bias towards denial. (Nobody is getting a material quarterly bonus for denying a few more claims. That nonsense occurs at the level of PBMs and other scale operations.)
This is the Bill Gates who in May 2018 proclaimed that he would short Bitcoin if he could:

So let's say I want to build a service that lets people access all their libraries from multiple streaming services. Can't I automate all the backend with Nango and just build a front-end around it? If yes, wouldn't it be just rebranding Nango? If not, it would be nice to clarify in the docs.

My point is that if there is no clear boundary, it's too risky for me to try this product even if it's open-core. For Elastic, their boundary is "database as a service" but I don't see anything similar in your license.
Show HN: Telophase – Open-Source AWS Control Tower
Hey HN – We’re Danny and Ethan from Telophase (https://telophase.dev). We’re building automation to isolate cloud environments by tenant or team. You can think of us as an Open-Source AWS Control Tower[1].

Our CLI is a drop-in tool to manage multi-account AWS setups. To start, we support AWS Account Factory and landing zones defined in AWS CDK. We plan to support multi-project GCP and multi-subscription Azure setups soon!

Features:

1. Manage accounts in code.

2. Provision accounts and their infrastructure with a single command, `telophase deploy`.

3. Deploy to a subset of accounts using tags such as staging, prod-eu, prod-us, etc

4. Monitor concurrent CDK deploys with our TUI

We decided to build Telophase after managing hundreds of accounts with Control Tower. We found it inflexible and required more integration work than we expected. Check out the readme for more:

Interesting, I've found hybrid GPU laptops to be pretty practical. I've had two over the years and on my newer one I installed PopOS, and there's a setting which puts it in hybrid mode, so by default the discrete GPU stays off, but you can run a program with some environmental vars and get it to use the Nvidia GPU.

When I'm not running a game, I get plenty of battery life out of it (4-6 hours or so?) and when I run a game I get decent performance. Exactly what I wanted. I haven't tried ML yet but I don't see why it'd be any different.
Again, because of memorization, not being able to code.
Of course there are people with that opinion. Think of any thinkable opinion and you'll always find some people who hold that opinion. The problem, I think, is that we often give too much importance to minority opinions, or generalize them and think the majority of a whole group of people think that way. I'm not saying we should always ignore those opinions; just that we should be very careful generalizing.

Or perhaps from his own carelessness. We don't know if he followed proper procedures, staying out of reach of the robot arm, etc. while it was active. Like airport ground crew who walk too close to a running jet engine.
you could have 2 bus bars around all 4 sides of the CPU, and tap off them at the point where the die has its connectors to the "body" (enclosure?) of the package. All the die pics I've seen, the tiny gold signal wires still route around the edges (i.e. they don't join the die in the center). So a thicker bus should work for the main voltage supply. But as the sibling commenter said, it has to do with signal impedance.

... and unlike here, they had to do journalism (in this case, polling their readers) to generate the content with the comments on it. We just get to kibbitz on someone else's reporting.

It's what this site's for.

Hm... Now that I think about it... This is a link aggregator that doesn't run ads. It loads faster than the news sites it links out to, and comments happen over here instead of over there. Is HN part of the problem? Do sites like this pull the online advertising revenue out of journalism that journalism needs to survive?
Yeah, just realized this is an Apple Watch competitor — but one that requires and odd new paradigm of interactivity that seems much worse than that of the Watch. Lifting your wrist up and having a small screen you can look at and talk to seems so intuitive in a way that the Humane widget doesn't.

Think of the simple interaction of wanting to issue a voice command in public. Watch: Bring it close to your mouth, maybe cover both with the other hand to be even less audible to others. Humane: Smoosh your shirt up to your face?

(Also: I live in one of the sunniest places on earth — I simply don't trust that I'll be able to see light projections onto my hand when I'm outside.)

Anyway. All in favor of exploration and new ideas. Very willing to be proven wrong on the form factor. But I also feel like we've kind of solved the wearable computing interface problem — a couple hundred years ago, turns out — and so it's going to take a lot of convincing.

It's not as buggy as you're making it sound.

You can keep using Windows all you want. Due to one little edge case. Fine.

I'd rather use the buggiest, shittiest window manager than put up with the user-hostility, the ads, the shit that gets installed without my permission, the settings that get changed back to Microsoft's defaults, these fucking surveys, the deception, lies and trickery.
What’s the weight of the new models?

The increased battery capacity sounds good, but I wonder how does it affect the handheld’s weight - which is perhaps just as important for comfort.
My brother was a contractor too and could barely make it on that with no kids. He fairly recently became an engineer (not the software kind) and was stunned to learn that he could take days off and still get paid. He was also quite happy to have health insurance. There may not be a lack of workers, but there's one less who will ever go back because of the nature of the job.

Despite the bigger overall size, the buttons on the Steam Deck aren't bigger than the buttons on a Nintendo Switch joy-con. That's why I like the Asus Ally more for having buttons that aren't too small for my big hands.

The process of learning clowning - at least where I went - was a process of getting up on stage, again and again, and being made vulnerable to the audience and to our own inadequacies. Which is a nice way of saying that the instructors were low key abusive. They encouraged us in the audience to yell “money back!” when the performers were boring us. Or the teachers would give feedback like (direct quotes): “I didn’t understand why women want to date other women until I saw you on stage. You are so unlovable that I understand abandoning men completely.”. “Do you not think he looks like a tub of yoghurt trying to dance?”. “This one is a cancer on the stage.” And so on. A few days after clown school my partner and I were chatting to a pair of American sisters from an army family on a bus. The older one had served. Before we mentioned clown school she said we had the same haunted look people had right out of basic training.

It was definitely abusive. But we’re also definitely looser for it. 1 month of class and my social anxiety is basically gone. It feels a bit like I have an opportunity to relearn how I want to show up socially and on stage. It’s taken a few months to recover, but I’m so much more present with people. I don’t understand why, but I’m really not sure we could have learned what we learned without feedback like that. I’ve done improv comedy classes for years. But clowning at Gaulier melted so much of my bullshit. We spent a month being seen. And then told, honestly, brutally and repeatedly what people see when they look at us. Once you get over the shock of it, there’s a joy in that. A game. But it’s been months and I still haven’t quite put myself back together again yet.

If anything, saying the experience was haunting is a massive understatement. For good and ill, that class will be with me until the day I die.
> If we allow blame to be passed on indefinitely because everything is broken then nothing will ever be fixed

Or we can skip scapegoating and fix the system. This is a fundamental lesson from aviation crash analysis: the goal should be a better system, not assigning blame.

We don't return errors in our public methods so our SDK still feels Pythonic. We're debating whether to add `_safe` suffix methods that return errors to give people the option, but for now our library only throws errors to consumers.

You might ask "well what's the point if you still throw errors to consumers?" We feel that forcing our engineers to deal with errors where they can happen is worthwhile. Our team writes a lot of Go and we love how it forces you to think about every spot that can error, so we wanted the same experience in Python

Salt was pretty valuable back then. Poseidon wasn't misguided, but I guess Greeks had enough saltwater around for it to be specially convenient.
If you have enough money, you can do everything that doesn't scale; manually review every change, rewrite entire codebases, require 12 conversations to try one new idea, kill icons that don't look bland enough. Terrible ideas normally, but who cares if you're making money? These are the signs of a rent-seeking incumbent. It's not a monopoly, because other companies are doing the same thing, but the customers don't have much choice but to use them. A wonderful place to be business-wise, terrible to actually work for them or be their customer.

I found the language around the vote(s) confusing. Were Republicans / Democrats for or against the "kill switch"?
It's not one or the other because the concern isn't for the owners of the new Deck, its for the owners of the old one. Any meaningful increase in power will create a scenario where the new deck can play games that the old one cannot which would be confusing for consumers and would weaken developer incentives to create a good experience on the older deck.

When you factor in that the niche market of slightly more powerful $600+ handhelds is already served by 4+ different players I just don't see why Valve would need to jump into it at this point. The marginal benefit is not worth the risk of fracturing the deck community and burning early adopters.

Also I should have made it more clear, but only some patches targeting the steam deck will trickle up to higher performance devices. Some patches will be things like "low shadows look like crap but medium shadows are just barely too much for the deck, lets lower medium a bit so that it can run well". I only mention that some patches will help other mobile devices because in my view its a win-win for the entire market that Valve is committed to providing a common denominator.
