2023 Q4 reliable performance mobile graphics workstation recommendations
I'm looking to buy a new laptop for some graphics-heavy work (CAD applications). Software dictates that it run Windows (hard requirement). My experience with PC laptops has been really bad (flaky hardware, performance tanks for no apparent reason after a year or two of use even after reimaging, build quality by Mattel, etc.). What mobile PC hardware would you recommend for a serious, dependable, expected-to-be-used-for-3-to-5-years, Windows (cough cough), laptop in Q4 of 2023?

Good tip! It's awful what this entails:

1) Creating accounts with the major credit reporters, presumably subject to hacks or social engineering

2) Accounts that require answering an easily guessed "secret question"

3) Password "rules" that restrict both the length and special characters of your password

4) After all that, creating the account results in a "Congratulation!" NOT FROZEN account. You have to go through an extra step to actually feeze it.

5) "Sorry, we can't freeze your account right now!"

Problem is none of what you believe about me is true. By main focus area is explicit density estimation, GANs are implicit. I like math...

But you can check my comment history to see that I really hate hype. I said there are better models for different tasks. Here's a breakdown:

- Autoregressive: Best for time sequential data

- Normalizing Flows: Best for density estimation and statistics

- Diffusion: Best at general image synthesis, editing, and diversity.

- GANs: Best when working on edge devices or throughput is critical

- VAEs: Best for situations between diffusion and flows, where a implicit PCA is desired

You can tell why I discussed GANs because it hit the specific use case. Remember my first comment is literally saying the motivation is trading image quality and diversity for generation time. It's because again, the claim is that there isn't one size fits all models. Such a notion is silly. You don't use a diffusion model to do real time image upscaling (e.g. for video) nor do you want it for RTX supersampling, but you do want diffusion for general image synthesis tasks in such areas like photoshop. Inpainting, outpainting, T2I, unconditional, I2I, and all that you want diffusion because it is much better for those tasks.

Just... diffusion requires big models and they're slow and the raspberry pi is small. So you make sacrifices.
I think it's less lying and more having no incentive to inform people as to what it actually means.

I agree that calling them "job-years" would clear it up but I think politicians would get a lot more pushback against these deals if people knew. So they don't. For a long time I wondered what these numbers meant, and sometime in my 30s I did some looking into it.

Now whenever one of these deals comes up I like to pop in a little comment to help inform people.

I wonder how much of this was the result of food scraps from US bases? I've been told a number of Korean dishes use ingredients that were begged from American GIs during and after the war. Things like hotdogs and american cheese that then got used creatively. I know other species will see a huge birth spike from discovered food sources. But I don't know if human's are smart enough, or have expensive enough pregnancies and child rearing to avoid this potential trap.

Not just teletypes. Most BBS systems (1980s) didn't have a good way to control the remote screen and so they ended up acting like they were printing to paper despite having a full terminal on the other end. I did use a teletype in the early 1990s to call a BBS (via acoustic coupler) - when lightening took out my computer. Other than the waste of paper is worked just fine. Unfortunately none of them provided an editor near as good as ed - but as a kid I didn't know what I was missing.

I've also had to configure equipment that only provided a serial port. Some let me configure TERM, but others did not. Either way I knew ed and so figuring out how to configure TERM wasn't worth the bother for quick changes.

Even in the late 1990s, computers were sometimes slow enough that for quick changes I could open ed and make the change faster than vi could load. Don't get me started on loading emacs on those (which most people did and probably why ed was faster)

I stand by my point - removing the massive upward pricing pressure from corporate entities will cause the market to balance itself much more readily even with the dynastic wealth grifters.

Over the past 5 years, I have gotten no shortage of "cash buyer offers" for our property, and I have no doubt the counterparty in almost all of those cases were corporations.

Remove that, and the lack of upward pricing pressure will force a reversion to the mean, which makes it more costly/risky to seek rents.

This doesn't appear to be about Microsoft's cloud but rather Public Cloud.

The whole migration of LinkedIn from their own data centers to the public cloud (Microsofts) isn't going well.

Isn't this more a shot at the public cloud for all the things than to any specific one?
ed is useful in one specific circumstance, but it's useful enough in that circumstance that I recommend it to anyone who's really serious about unix shell scripting.

In the context of a shell script, there are things you can do with ed and a here document that are extremely difficult to do any other way. For example, I had to recover my website from the wayback machine during covid lockdown (long story).

I decided to change everything to markdown and wanted to add yaml frontmatter to every one of a hundred or so markdown files. The Yaml frontmatter needed to be different for each file and I ended up having to make various tweaks before I brought it back live.

So, ... multiple times I had to do edits like "in the fourth line above the -- that ends the yaml front matter, change x to y". This is a very tough edit to make with the usual suspects (sed/perl/awk etc), but is a breeze to do if you run ed in your shell script and have the commands you want to run supplied by a here doc.

We dont like TDD: A Developer's Perspective
Quantum mechanics are a little dense for me, but assuming the laws of entropy have not been broken, I think this means a more efficient "concurrent" charging process, as opposed to sequentially charging. Perhaps current "parallel" charging differs in approach to this new process.

> Earlier methods to charge a quantum battery involved a series of charging stages one after the other. However, here, the team instead used a novel quantum effect they call indefinite causal order, or ICO. In the classical realm, causality follows a clear path, meaning that if event A leads to event B, then the possibility of B causing A is excluded.

I don't blame the authors for interpreting this as causality being broken, as most programmers know how difficult causality is to think about once you have concurrent processes in play.

> Also know as cost of the chip.

As a shorthand for expected retail cost, that is terribly misapplied. Or even for internal cost.

The chip would be one line item on the BOM for the entire thing you plan on shipping (but not packaged yet). Even in the case you are "just" selling a chip, the BOM is likely more complicated,and in this context primarily the manufacturing side cares about that. The COGS (cost of goods sold) is something the company as a whole will care more about - this is what it actually costs you to get it out the door. You will hear "BOM cost" referring to the elemental cost of one item on the BOM, but that's not the BOM itself.

None of these are related to the retail (or wholesale) cost in a simple way, either than forming a floors on long term sustainable price.

The GGG-whatever post is using this sloppily to suggest that the chips are going to be very expensive to produce, therefore the product is going to be expensive.

You'll also see BOM in a materials and labor type invoice, (like when you get your car serviced) but that's not relevant here.
Don't forget about the part where you actually do start on the project, but then you read one article or find another tool/software package that makes you second guess everything you've already done and you go back down another rabbit hole.
While this is true most of the structure of the language is taken directly from Python, which depending on your interests might be a little more useful than learning C#. The only syntactical differences I’ve found so far are the additions of var, const, match, how the walrus operator is used, and of course all the nice godot editor specific keywords. The built-ins have almost exactly the same naming scheme, you can still use global functions like len on any collection, I could go on…

I would argue that someone who starts programming on gdscript today would be able to transition into Python with little to no overhead.

Empirical tests have shown certain factories manufactured drugs with insufficient concentration of the active ingredient.

Basically, they are making more profit by selling a placebo. This is often the case with low cost generics.

When the low cost generics are ineffective, doctors prescribe more expensive alternatives produced by the same manufacturer --- again they generate more profit.
> These guys were probably 1/100 of the total number of gilets jaunes

This is always the case. It's why you need riot police versus ordinary cops. We've had tons of protests in New York, including ones where people are injured and looters blend in, but never (in modern times) at this scale nor intensity.

> most of this violence, injuries, and trauma was done by police

I don't think the police injured over a thousand of themselves. There were also multiple deaths where protesters used their trucks as weapons.

I am not solely indicting the protesters. Just the claim that French protests aren't notably violent.

By the time you are done redoing those parts, you’ll end up having to recreate large portions of your castle to make everything work together again, and even then you might miss something important that breaks a functionality of your castle.
