That's not what I'm saying. My intent is not to defend rich people. Yes obviously most of them don't spend their time controlling the media but instead spend time showing off on their yachts.

My point is something else: I don't but the idea that there are two factions, the rich and the poor, and that all rich people have the same interests and thus are allies and that all poor people have the same interests and are allied (or so they should).

Sure, this view is partially grounded in realty and that's why Marx did come up with it and it's why it stuck to this day as sensible to so many people.

But I don't think it's true. I think it oversimplifies reality to the point that a spherical cow in comparison is anatomically accurate.

But it's worse than just being wrong. It actively stifles conversation. Any attempt to have a nuanced conversation about these topics ultimately resolves in an accusation of "you're defending the rich, just admit it". That's what turns a idea into an ideology. Ideologies are ideas with built-in self-defense mechanisms.
I suspect we are relying on "doing nothing with it" for these computers to be usable the way we want them to. More in the following paragraphs.

> always connected to the network

If you speak about smartphones, they are usable because they mostly sleep most of the time and thus can last enough without being plugged to be useful. They are always connected to the network, but also in a very specific way: they are mostly waiting for a specific wake up notification from the network, while most of their hardware is actually sleeping. Being actually always fully on might also hurt their battery.

Their connection is also often unreliable. As you move, their will be disconnections. That's good enough to casually browse the web. It's fine if some page does not load, or loads slowly, occasionally.

But I suspect it's not good enough for serving a website: making this randomly fail might be less than ideal.

Many people also light putting their phones in airplane mode, or turning them off during the night.

Now, maybe we could still figure out something useful from this "always" "connected" network, with some sort of paradigm change, maybe with more asynchronicity.
Interesting. Added link to my TiddlyWiki.
There are whole product ranges for stuff like this now (stuff, where you cannot change the interface that is built for fingers and not automation).

eg:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RJ-zWJcEKc (not affiliated, cheaper models available on aliexpress, both bluetooth and zigbee) - you stick it on somewhere and it pushes a button for you. With added accessories, it can even push (technically pull) the (eg.) light switch the other way, so you only ned one switch per light switch. You can also use it to restart a server/pc, press a tv button remote or even a garage/ramp opener, etc., with zero electronic knowledge and modification (if you're renting out and don't want to replace stuff).

I have been running a server in the attic for 20yrs, now relocated to the shed (not the same hardware).

I am getting a lot of joy out of vnc connect at the moment. I have ethernet to my shed with a pi firewall between my attic and the garden. VNC connect means I don't need to pfaff about with port forwarding etc.

I use rclone to sync my saas business backups from the server to the cloud. That may not sound secure but I used to be an Infrastructure Lead and I have seen how government agencies left doors open in data centre cages.

One piece of advice. Don't waste all your holidays on such projects, pace yourself :-)

We’re playing with embodied LLMs that can externalise thoughts in a virtual environment. The idea is to help facilitate knowledge work.

It’s not our main area of interest, but it’s been interesting to experiment with how human/machine and machine/machine interactions work in real-time when you limit how fast agents can move or write. It's much easier to engage in a dialogue with agents that can't create / move tens of sticky notes and graphics faster than you can create one.

That might be true for many, but it is surely not true for everyone. The progression analysis across multiple activities, or the heart rate analysis of each individual activity, are immensely useful tools on their own.
I'm starting to see "cheatflation", Last 2 days -

Bought 3 granola bar boxes that advertises 6 each box. Open them all, throw them in a bag once a week. This week there are 17. Hmmm.

Taco shells, should be 12 in a box. Had 11 in one of them today (none were broken). I wouldn't be surprised if the "weight" of those bags of chips filled to 1/3 is a mix of settling and also cheatflation.
Great name. I take it it’s a play on the word endurance and the name of the great Spanish cycling champion Miguel Induráin.

As I wrote in another comment, it's a clique that I moved with, yes. Related to urban planning, cycling infrastructure etc in my country. If anything, the move has been nice. No longer daily death threats from car drivers thinking that's a proportionate response for us advocating for a new bicycle lane..

Being a small group of course made the transition easier. Most of us didn't use Twitter to follow all kinds of stuff, just mostly these things.

And while being a clique, with no outside influences, can be bad, the "influences" you now get from blue checks on X isn't anything worth having. Just abuse.
Why would you put yourself through it though? It's stressful. I spend enough of my time on the phone to Amazon through AWS and because my stuff is stolen.

One thing is missing and can’t be done with a web app, and that is automatic tracking of activities recorded by smart watches. The work around here seems to be auto-importing them to Strava and connecting Strava to Endurain.
In such rare case, it would download the required version. Having two separate Electron versions is still better than having ten in total, for each app separately.
Would be nice for it to be recycled but at the day the true waste is probably the product you buy.

At least Uniqlo or Decathlon are producing goods of relative quality.

Clearly this is some sort of keyword spam, though it's hard to tell more than that from your screenshot. It's also not clear why they'd bother to use HTML entities... a bug in the spam code? Or perhaps exploiting some parser differential between different twitter systems? Who can say.

I once had a CD that I really needed to make a backup of, but it was scratched to hell and truly unreadable. I put it in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes, and presto: the CD was readable for a while, letting me back up the files. It'd cool off and become unreadable again, but I'd just put it back on the stove and repeat until I had all of the data.
That data come from surveying people directly, not data aggregated through medical professionals. So no, your supposition is incorrect. Transgender people really do report a 4x higher rate of severe long covid symptoms as "cisgendered" people. That's according to their own answers to surveys, not according to doctors.

If you think the result is anomalous, then explain why transgender sufferers of severe long covid are more likely to respond to surveys than any other sufferer of severe long covid.

Response to hnbad's flagged response: "people who believe long COVID is a thing are more likely to seek out a long COVID diagnosis whereas those believing it's not a thing are more likely to "push through" and remain undiagnosed even when their condition may be severe and debilitating."

Real and earnest "severe and debilitating" afflictions aren't something you can successfully "push through" and remain productive with. If you can push through them, and evidently most of the working class can, then at the very least it's certainly not as severe and debilitating as advertised. Some people may earnestly have some mild lingering fatigue issues, as is the case after any viral infection, but that's about it. However that doesn't make severe disabling long covid, the sort that would actually hurt the economy, a hoax. There is a difference between a hoax and delusion. A hoax is a falsehood promulgated by somebody who knows it isn't true. Long covid is a hysteria promulgated by people who earnestly believe it is true, to their own detriment.
Everytime I read one of these, no one tells me what resource was the bottleneck in vertical scaling. Does it feel like silicon valley is addicted to horizontal scaling?
I'm not sure they've sampled enough videos to be able to make that kind of central limit theorem assertion. A trillionth of a percent is an awfully small sample of the total space.
A standard demo for robot dexterity is balancing a vertical pole, which probably doesn't qualify as a 'game'.

Laptops are also not really designed to be always on. I've used some like this in the past, but there are things to watch for:

- batteries might not like being constantly charged. You might kill them, hopefully they don't swell. It might be interesting to remove the battery if you can, but then you indeed lose the feature they provide to survive power cuts.

- the disk drives are constantly parking their heads, make sure that the parking policy is ok (won't wear them to fast). Maybe less of an issue with many laptops coming with SSDs.

- some laptops just heat too much and power off too often, especially in summer.

- their hardware might end up dying quite fast.

I think I would still use an old laptop as a home server if I had suitable one, especially since it helps making such a machine useful for a longer time even when they are not quite usable for the web of today anymore (I like the reuse spirit it has), but I've found my rockpro64 (a nice single board computer) way more reliable in this role.

I guess YMMV depending on the laptop models. I can definitely imagine that a solid laptop with its battery removed can work well as a server.
My initial interest in the computer's underlying operations were piqued when I read Code by Charles Petzold. I found myself wanting a more hands on experience and decided to try this. I loved it and learned so much.

On the contrary, I've found the article quite refreshing.

Using eigen isn't such a big issue if you understand it as the eigen in eigenvector.

I'd like to point out that this has to be conscious decision of sorts by Amazon. Amazon UK is pretty much what Amazon US used to be 10 years ago - there's a complete absence of the aliexpress/temu grade 'SHTORY' 'FNARGL' branded products, the search shows you what you searched for instead of random junk and Amazon JP is of a different order entirely, that site is a gleaming spire.

This is clearly a choice that's being made by Amazon US to turn the platform into this... whatever it is...

Reasons? Well, I guess they make sense to somebody.

This is the move that has turned the world against globalism. We have increased economic inequality in trade for cheaper items. But those items are made elsewhere, and slowly you erode those who would make and then buy items. Now with less and less money they can only buy the items from cheap places. A Faustian bargain.
I'm less impressed that the AI figured it out in the end, but more by the speed with which it played in the final state.

I'm thinking one reason why human players do this more slowly and careful is that they'd get annoyed by the repetitiveness of having to start over many times and therefore adopt a more conservative strategy. Getting annoyes is of course a problem that AIs don't have.

The company I worked for had our office renovated/redecorated. As part of that, we moved offices temporarily, and one of the larger meeting rooms was relocated to a remote building. We didn't have a way of wiring up that meeting room to the rest of our office network, but building management were able to give us internet access in the room.

I wanted our employees to be able to roam to that meeting room transparently without any hassle.
I knew that OpenVPN had a layer 2 tunneling mode, that could bridge two ethernet networks over VPN. With two leftover workstations, I set up an OpenVPN server in the main office, and an OpenVPN client at the meeting room. By bridging the OpenVPN interface to the ethernet interface on the client, I was able to connect a switch, WiFi access point and videoconferencing equipment. Everything worked perfectly, with even DHCP requests going over the VPN.

As a user, for me, YouTube has been shrinking ever since the first adpocalypse. By that I mean I rarely see new videos or relevant recommendations. It is all stale content and pages only couple of pages instead of going infinite like it used to. My most visited page is home page which shows recommended content(it used to be on a dedicated page) and I literally see the same content for days, rarely with new videos. And I have hundreds of subscribed channels. Youtube is a living corpse, I do not care what numbers they put out in the public.

I agree, I know the game you're referring to, but didn't think of it when I chose the title. I wanted to add some more context than just calling it 'Cyberrunner' without any additional information, although I'm aware that editorializing submission titles is discouraged on HN.

I’m not sure it’s so black and white.

Reading yourself (at whatever level you are capable of and can tolerate) followed by asking an LLM to highlight any areas of the terms that are non-standard, may cause concern, could be restrictive, or might cost you later could help identify subtleties you might have missed.

Certainly it’d seem no worse and possibly better than just reading the terms, especially as a layperson.

This is a myth, only supported by looking at nothing but spec sheets.

I admit, I was one of these people, but when you look at incidentals (ironically the DAC such as this thread, but also things like keyboard, calibrated display, the nebulous concept of “build quality”) Apple is comparable in price to contemporaries.

The issue is that Apple computers are built like higher end business laptops, and people dont typically buy those: they look at the spec sheet and try to buy the best bang for the buck which makes all of the quality run out the door.

Apples lowest end machines generally are priced cheaper than equivalent machines, but Apple price segments (read: gouges) on upgrades.

A high end Macbook pro 14” and a Dell XPS (55xx) are comparable in price.
Some years ago I attended Edward Tufte’s information design course. His solution to the “May I have your slides?” problem is to produce a separate high-density handout for participants. In that way the slide design takes whatever form suits its low-density format, and the handout has the high information density of print. I’ve tried to implement that to mixed success. In academic settings people still want the slide dump so that they have a note-taking framework without having to work too hard to figure it out on the fly. It has become such an expectation…
