The original point of my comment was not to assert "disc superiority" or whatever you've interpreted it as. Characterizing hardware failure as "FUD" is wrong and in plain denial of how these systems die. I use SSDs, I have had flash storage fail on me, and considering how embedded and small the majority of Apple SSDs are, I'm not convinced their drives will outlive the useful lifespan of the machine. Draw your own conclusions accordingly.
I believe Six Flags over Georgia had an actual IMAX dome that I remember as a kid - a projector experience of short films such as flying airplanes, racing cars and such.
> it looks like you're in a phone conversation with somebody

Even though everyone's seen AirPods by now, in those rare occasions when I'm on the phone in public, I feel compelled to have my phone out and vaguely talking at it, so it's clear I'm on a phone call and not a crazy person.

I'm curious if we would see similar usage with the pin, where voice commands in public are always performed with the hand up for the projection screen (it will still prompt looks, but hopefully be clear in context, "oh they're doing some tech thing").

Of course at this price point, it's highly dubious that we'll see anywhere near the ubiquitous market penetration of AirPods (which garner understandable complaints about the price point sub-$200, and that's with a clear value prop).
The "Texture Healing" feature is a really smart use of OpenType features to make problematic monospace combinations look much better without breaking the grid at all.

One naive way to do this would be to create ligature pairs for difficult pairs (mi, lm, etc). But instead, they seem to be selecting character alternates that fill the fixed width differently based on their surroundings.
Rippling Is Down
We had some connections and then I had a conversation with someone at an event and they said “oh, you should come and do this thing for us”.

It was meant to be a lot more involved but they kept reducing the scope but were perfectly happy with the price. I wasn’t going to query it.
EXACTLY. This "infotainment" BS harks back to vastly overpriced stock car radios of years gone by.

All we need is a place in the dashboard to mount our phones. Phones already have big-ass touchscreens and anything else we want... except of course now the audio outputs have been removed.

We should simply have a well in the dashboard with replaceable inserts that snap in to accommodate different-sized phone models, which would connect to the audio system and power. But no... we still have phones bouncing around in the cabin or attached to hokey third-party claws, and janky-ass Bluetooth which (how many years in now?) can't handle simple music playback reliably.

Every car in my household has an auxiliary input for audio and no support for audio over Bluetooth. One is a 2013 Mini, so it's not as if they're ancient.

And that's just fine. And if it MUST be overcomplicated, then yes... AirPlay seems to be the way.
If the link were to be true I would believe the more bipolar you are, the more creative you should be. But we know it becomes debilitating.
Or you give the phone to someone that wants or needs the phone.

Reusability is about not being selfish.
1. No. An H-1B can only be extended beyond the 6-year max-out period by recapturing time spent outside or by being in the green card (and being far enough along in this process). 2. For layoffs to be relevant - that is, for them to impact an employer's ability to file PERM applications - they must be in the same or similar occupation as the sponsored PERM occupation and be in the same geographic area.
I think that's pretty reductive. They have a whole category of games that are great on Deck. I love playing Streets of Rage 4 and Katamari reroll on it.
What's wrong with considering whether those who argued against something in the past may have been wrong? Unless, of course, you were one of those who turned out to be wrong.
Trust the fungus.
Probably true. Without commenting on the particulars of the SDK in question (read: I haven't read TFA): Monadic code is obviously better than the mainstream alternatives. Does this point towards eventual inviability of Python itself?
Said laws are created by society to benefit society. A pharmaceutical company is able to create an apparent 10x more value under such laws because they are delivering on the value of that regulated market along with the value of their product.

Of course, as before, no benefit is consequence free. We see in the example that said benefit means that some people may not have access to drugs, which negatively affects society in other ways. That doesn't mean society sees no benefit. There are always tradeoffs. Something can be a benefit and detriment at the same time.

Perhaps what you are trying to say is that you think that society should see better access to drugs as being a higher priority than the benefits it expects from the regulated market? But clearly society, which is free to repeal or change said laws as it sees fit, disagrees. Society will certainly never please all individuals. That's a tradeoff of having a society.
I'm one of those people who often says "the problem is that there are just too many people." But I hadn't ever really thought about the hypothesis that the "good idea" yield was low enough that you needed a large number of brains to make technological (or other) progress. Certainly there are lots of problems in the near, medium-term, and distant future that will require creative solutions.

As the "cookie consent" debacle showed us, websites won't stop using JS, they'll just bombard you with consent dialogs until you click the button that makes them go away fastest, which is likely the one that involves consenting to run their JS.
One might argue that time in a seat doing a job under the supervision of a licensed professional, without getting fired, is a good demonstration of competence - and has the added bonus of the student getting paid for their time while learning. Apprenticeships can be beneficial to everyone involved and have the added bonus of supporting social mobility.

Ineffective? Huge chunks of the tech industry have descended directly from academia. Or are you using a definition of academia that begs your own question?
Pointless, you are already in complete control of this. Just disable JS, enable it when you want.

Every HTTP request should ideally be preceded by a dialog button and if affirmative consent is not provided, the request shouldn't be made.

Bloomberg says the supplier is Samsung.[0] Not entirely surprising because Sony is somewhat of a competitor and that only leaves LG who is not nearly as good at mobile oled which is one of Samsung's largest markets. This said I know eg. Apple uses multiple display suppliers for the iphone 14/15 base model so it could be the same here.

I had a friend who would say the following the middle aged female friends who didn’t have daughters:

Did your mom have a daughter? Female answers “yes”

Did her mom have a daughter? Yes

Did her mom have a daughter? Yes

This lineage of course extends beyond even human history back to Proto life forms.

And then you end it with “after all that, you’re ending the legacy by not having a daughter”.
What would be better is, when OneDrive unilaterally crashes without user input, or fails to start on boot, Microsoft answer one of those questionnaires for me:

Microsoft closed OneDrive without user input, terminating all synchronization of shared files for the following reasons :

( ) Bad coding- error
( ) Updating unrelated application, sorry we didn't restart the application.
( ) Did we crash OneDrive?! Are you sure?
( ) We prefer that you use M365 online
( ) Other
That's a completely nonsensical analogy. Maybe you missed his point, but well designed programming language infrastructure does not need Docker or venv to work. The fact that you have to resort to the massive hack of Docker shows how bad the situation is.

I do not have to use Docker or a venv for my Rust, Go or Deno builds.
Why do you think those things? Logic & theorem provers massively predate LLMs, and getting LLMs to use them is as easy as asking the LLM to write a proof in the language of your theorem prover of choice, which you can then copy-paste into that theorem prover and execute. And if/when it doesn't work, the error message itself helps with a significant fraction of most other programming problems, so my guess is they would also help here.

Also, there have been substantial new developments and discoveries about what transformer models do (both internally and in terms of capacity) every week or two for most of this year, so why do you think there's no known path forward?

Thinking of logic, I just tried the following with gpt-3.5, gpt-4, and gpt-4-1106-preview. The newest model spotted the trick (and then still got it wrong), the older two didn't even spot the trick. Can you spot the trick?

Yup, though for some things that there is a strong public policy reason to discourage, statutory damages can make a good disincentive.

Valve's a software distribution company, not a hardware company.

The steam deck exists primarily to expand their targetable market.

It's of no benefit to them if people's devices fail - they just stop buying games (unlike Apple, where the devices are intended to slow down or stop working altogether).

Nope. They are exactly the same thing. Same effect on the brain.

The frustration is understandable but I don’t think that sticking with X11 with all of its cruft, anachronisms, and rough edges is much of a solution. Regardless of what’s going on with Wayland, X11 is a dead end, as has been expressed by devs who’ve worked on it.

So the real question is if not Wayland, then what? X11 needs a successor, and it’s not as if there’s a plethora of options.

You are made 100% from metabolized plants, so that's not entirely inaccurate.
Sounds like an IMAX Dome.
If you've practiced for a decade in one state, and then you moved to another state without reciprocity (many permutations) and want to work, suddenly you have to sit again. That's a very different headspace. This "supervised work" is a good option in this scenario.
Apologies, but this is complete bullshit. They make money by denying expensive claims, regardless of whether or not people actually need the treatment, and optimize for this despicable behavior.
I see GPT and similar LLMs as basically like managing an over-eager intern. Have you ever tried to do that?

They're overflowing with ideas and knowledge and passion, and "all" you have to do is point them in the right direction. Except that when you review their code, you find that they didn't consider about a thousand different edge cases. Oh, and they didn't follow the style guide. Oh, and they are way over-focused on the wrong parts of the problem, prematurely optimizing performance in places where it doesn't matter. Oh, and their code is nigh-on unreadable. Oh, and they wrote a bunch of code that is already provided in libraries, but they just didn't know about it, and their implementation is probably full of subtle bugs so they should just use the library version. Oh, and they forgot to update the CI because now they need to pull in a new dependency to run their tests. Oh, and... the list goes on.

I don't ever see AI progressing past the regurgitation stage; you can give it as much knowledge as you want, and it can rearrange and reproduce and restate that knowledge in a thousand different ways; but we're so far from AI being able to handle all the details of our work, that as I said above, fully specifying the problem is going to be just as much work as doing the work yourself. And you'll still need expertise to do so, because our software systems are complex and full of nuance that can't be easily communicated to a machine.

AI doomers always strike me as people who have never had to try to corral interns; maybe that's an overly specific life experience to expect someone to have, but it's a really useful proxy for how much "more productive" we're going to get with AI. A really good intern can solve simple problems given exact constraints, but anything requiring lateral thinking will take them a lot of coaxing to get to the right solution. And that's okay! People can learn and get better. But I don't see AI getting better "enough" to take on anything beyond that first rung of the ladder of complexity.
You should just prepare an autounattend.xml to automate the install and be able to skip the OOBE wizard entirely - including the forced online account creation.
While this may be true, they've also had literal decades to improve the situation and have barely got anywhere. In some ways they've gone backwards!
I dont think you get it.
The problem is the arrogance to think you can draw blanket risk conclusions without even bothering to know the circumstance.

You simply imagine a scenario, make up some predictions, and call it a universal truth.
I was initially thinking ... "OK, another monospace font (family), look nice", until I got to "texture healing" which really made me want to try it out.

I really like the idea of using different style of font for different things, but as primarily terminal user, I don't even know which terminals support it (if any), and then we would need CLI text editors support as well. But I think it's a great idea.

No, that's a really bad analogy: systemd offeres comparable features to SysV init and much more useful functionality outside of pid 0. It even had a program[1] to automatically convert old SysV init scripts to systemd unit.
In fact the main criticism is that systemd tries to do too much by trying to replace a lot of traditional UNIX software cron -> timers, sudo -> polkit, udev -> systemd-udev, consolekit -> systemd-logind, etc.

I've never seen a complaint that systemd breaks existing setups. Wayland, on the other hand...

It's staggering to me that Apple has not improved on the UI for "try again" or "keep trying", whether the fault is with Siri itself, or just network conditions. It seems like (relatively) low-hanging fruit, compared to the challenges of improving the engine. (I don't use any other voice assistants, no idea how well they do here.)
And it's absolutely working! So far I've spent 566€ directly on Steam this year and my willingness to spend money on GOG or EGS has dropped dramatically considering what a seamless experience I get with Steam and the Steam Deck.

> Rhenium is one of the most radioactive of them, but it is several orders of magnitude less radioactive than thorium and uranium.

Rhenium does have one stable isotope, which comprises 37,4% of naturally ocurring Rhenium. 62,6% is radioactive Rh-187 with a half-life of 10^10 years. That's a bit longer than U-235 or U-238.

But unlike uranium, Rh-187 decays into stable osmium.
I've just started playing with aider this week, and I find it extremely fun and exciting. But I will say that I've had middling results with an Elixir / Phoenix app. I don't think this has anything to do with aider - rather, I think that the GPT models haven't quite internalized the new approaches in Phoenix 1.7, since up until Turbo their training data was fairly old and probably still contains more pre 1.7 Phoenix examples than post 1.7.

In spite of these frustrations, I have had some genuinely amazing moments coding with GPT-4 lately though. I upgraded to ChatGPT plus lately and it's just mindblowing how helpful it can be in the right contexts. I'm hoping that as I get better with aider I might just drop the ChatGPT sub and stick to API usage.

I totally understand the skepticism many have, because this stuff is still a bit finicky - but I'm overwhelmed by a sense of how fucking _cool_ this stuff is quite often.
I think it just depends on the games you play. Check to see how much space they'll use. Personally, I don't play a lot of "AAA" type games, I play more indie games, so 256GB has more than enough space for me. You can always upgrade the SSD or use a microSD card.
There's core issues with the X11 protocol from my understanding, which means if anyone decided to take up the task of modernizing X.org there would be a big dust-up anyway.

X11 and X.org are ancient, and we certainly seem like we can do better. Maybe Wayland isn't the best, but if it's better than X.org then that is indeed progress - temporary pain or not.

There's a saying military folks use often - "suck it up buttercup". Since nobody seems willing to actually defend the merits of continuing to use X.org/X11, then we do need something better.

People seem to forget X.org is about 20 years old - and wasn't perfect when it was first released either.
And it absolutely worked on me.

Prior to having a Steam Deck, my overall video game time was fairly low since it took time to boot the PC and start everything up. With the SD, it's much easier to grab it and get a small session in, and I've purchased a number of games (and will even buy games on Steam at a higher price than elsewhere) because of the Deck. It's the price of convenience, but well worth it in my opinion.
And no jailbreaking required. I just wish I could hold one to see if my hands fit.

My awkward hands where DS, Switch, PS and Xbox controllers all give me cramps after around ten minutes of play time.

N64 not so. It's why I've always been a PC gamer.
> They already tried this with Steam Machines and that didn't end well.

They tried this in 2014 when Steam OS was immature and Proton didn't even exist (Steam Machines were relying on Linux Ports at time). Also, if I record well, we didn't had a Steam Machine 100% done by valve, only third-parties.

I bet that the market reaction would be very different today with first-party steam machines running Proton,
I worked at a small company in London and got treated the same way: feeling left out, excluded.

It took me a bit of thinking before I realised it was actually being done for my own benefit, as I was a contractor there. Had they invited me to the office party etc. it would have contributed to me being seen as an employee, and losing the status of a contractor. They could not do this, I didn't want it. Once I realised that, I was fine with it, but it did hurt initially.

I must say it would have been a whole lot easier if the boss had simply bother to explain, but it doesn't really matter, he did actually have my best interests at heart (as well as his own of course!)
This is why such things should be criminal offenses!
>Nothing in this thread points to lack of workers, but to over regulation.

The thread points at inflation and interest rates and general cost overruns. I don't see the overregulation. As others have said, you can run your non nuclear powerplants until they fall apart. That isn't possible with nuclear power.
> TBH I don't think Windows holds it back when once I am in the game (the part that matters)

Being able to instantaneously[1] pause and resume games on the Steam deck makes for a pretty great experience. The non-gaming parts also matter a lot in a portable gaming device.

> my wife is still receiving bills from the birth of our most recent child, 18 months ago

I've been dealing with this as well, and the uncertainty has been the most frustrating thing.

Medical bills from the same institution should be required to be high watermarks - i.e. if you give me a bill in March, you can't send me a bill in April that has charges from February that _weren't on the bill from March_. It feels like fraud (and maybe it is, but who has time to figure that out?)
