This seems like well-disguised marketing speak. The biggest weakness for OLEDs isn't brightness or battery life; it's burn-in, or rather burn-out. Will blue PHOLEDs make it so device manufacturers will stop telling me to set the Taskbar to auto-hide? If not, I don't see why anyone outside the industry should give a damn.
i was looking for something like this. thanks!

When you explore the tree of life, one thing you will notice is that it has many extinct species.

Consider terrestrial vertebrates for example...

> squeezing every cent they can out of seniors who can't advocate for themselves, out of their families, and ultimately out of the taxpayer. They do that by poorly staffing their homes

Absolutely. I work as a paramedic. It is utterly infuriating to see nursing homes whose policy (they claim their liability insurance, but I suspect it is often laziness) is to call 911 for anything bigger than a bandaid and expect us to take care of everything going on...

... while there's a huge billboard out front, "Round the clock nursing care!" and they're happily billing the patient/family five digits a month.

And then I search a few in my area that are the worst offenders, and find that several have been repeatedly sanctioned for "failing to have an RN supervising care" (so you have maybe an LPN watching over a couple of dozen CNAs...)
Yeah I agree it is annoying, but ultimately browser dev needs to be paid for somehow.

Brave does it via their extras. Mozilla mostly via their search deal with Google.
Where did you charge?

I recently tried the ones at Esso in Canada, it literally feels like 4x the weight.

I've never needed 2 handles to manipulate a gas pump or Tesla charger, but with the CCS I had to use both hands and my body weight to sorta force it around. It was wild.
I had a high dpi sony trinitron during the dot com crash. It’s been 25 years, not ten.

Linux (and all the Unix’s) had a huge advantage back then because of X11’s superior high dpi support.

I still don’t understand why they have spent the last ten years trying to switch from pixel
perfect rendering with variable dpi to fractional scaling.
Mind sharing more details on your setup? (Distribution, window manager, and, most importantly, browser)

I have something similar (but an even older netbook). I'm using Alpine, i3, and mostly w3m (or Midori if JavaScript is needed). Given that Windows 10 on the netbook was completely unusable, it's impressive how functional it is with Linux.

It cannot handle modern bloat, however. Firefox just eats up memory until the machine freezes and I can't run a single Electron app for too long. Sadly, those make up far more than 1% of my use cases.

Overall, it's nice for distraction-free computing. I learned Common Lisp and Emacs exclusively on that little netbook. I probably would have gotten distracted by some shiny web page partway through if I'd been using my more capable desktop.

Edit to clarify: I'm curious what all you're able to accomplish with your similarly spec'd machine.

> is an 'integration test' vs. a 'unit test'

I don't get it. There isn't a contention between the two. The definition of unit test is a test that is independent of other tests. That would include any integration test that exists independent of other tests.

Frankly, as far as I can see all tests written in any modern codebase are unit tests. It is not the 1970s anymore. We learned our lessons. Realistically, while the 'unit test' branding may have helped us learn those lessons, it doesn't add anything today. In the modern lexicon, 'test' already implies 'unit test'. They are one in the same.

> I hope that clarifies it for you.

Nope. I honestly have absolutely no idea what you are trying to say there. Sorry.

> Don't wait, because I've no interest in continuing this.

I expected. I wouldn't have interest in trying to show something that is impossible either.
I can’t entirely blame WiMax on Intel. I only saw it from the sidelines, but I had a laptop with integrated WiMax (complete with Intel chipset and an apparently functional antenna) in a market where Sprint had their much hyped SDR network, and they had WiMax working enough for their trade show folks to demonstrate it. But it was not one of their launch markets, so they… didn’t launch. They literally refused to take my money and sell me service.

I don’t care how well Intel executes and how well your launch market functions, if you’re selling a product that caters to business travelers and users, you had better actually be willing to sell the thing, across a large swath of the country, or it will fail regardless of how good it is.
Apple already has their own environment in CoreML and the neural engine. They have ways to train/run models on it in highly optimized formats and unified memory.

PyTorch came from PCs running on GPUs with their own pool of dedicated memory and a slower link to main memory.

I know people have been speeding it up a lot on Apple processors, but I’m not sure it’s a good indicator of how ready the iPhone is for running models for end user programs.
Congrats! At 16, I only had a 486DX2-66 with a 28.8K modem and a UPS.

For other teenagers and teenagers-in-spirit to accomplish this feat:

- Search for used enterprise servers on eBay. HP, Lenovo, Dell, and Supermicro are the typical brands to choose from.

- Before purchase, find the specification docs, drivers, and firmware on the specific model to be sure it's something that's complete and usable, or can be completed for reasonable $$.

- If you plan on running XenServer or VMware ESXi to then run multiple virtual machines on it, make sure the hardware is compatible by checking the OS hardware compatibility list (HCL) before buying it.

- Avoid 1U servers because they're louder than 2U+ designs due to having to use shorter, smaller fans that spin very fast.

- Make sure the CPU is at least as fast as a computer you own, or it might be a very expensive doorstop or an oversized "Raspberry PI": https://www.cpubenchmark.net

- There is a gotcha with Dell, Lenovo, and HP servers using AMD CPUs where they are vendor locked. The plus side is sometimes sellers offer locked CPUs cheap enough that it makes sense.

- ECC RAM. Friends don't let friends drive non-ECC RAM. https://cr.yp.to/hardware/ecc.html

- SSD. Because spinning rust is for storage, not the OS. https://web.archive.org/web/20110831080738/http://buyafuckin...

- Try to get something with lights-out remote management (iLO or iDRAC) if it's already licensed.

- When received, it's probably going to be dirty and have some scratches. Open it up and clean it with compressed air outside.

- Bonus points: Convince the parental unit(s) to put a 19" patch panel and half rack in the garage. :]
Ask HN: What Reddit front end are you using for Web and Android
It's been a while since Reddit changed the API policy. So, which Android app are you using (if you're using Reddit at all)? For me, 'Boost for Reddit' worked best. Since then, no free or paid app has matched its user experience.
That's the first place I looked, but googling all the weird settings doesn't seem to bring up anything except for the usual suspects like Resizable BAR, which I definitely have enabled. It's just suck. The reason why some people have issues and other people don't is because the issues are picky about the computer you use it with, I guess.
I think the logical and inevitable conclusion of this quantification is simply throwing out quantification as useful, especially when it comes to things like elite hiring decisions. What will replace it? Charisma, personality, and other attributes that simply can’t be quantified.

It’s easy to forget that the drive to make highly-quantified decisions is largely a recent phenomenon, with in-person charisma having a much longer history. The recent widespread dominance of online video (compared to text) is really just more of a return to this kind of charisma after a long period of textual dominance.

I think the future is dominated by people that understand how to use video (and way down the line, 3D presence tools), not those that are good at optimizing AI tools.

One example of this, I think, is how video searches on TikTok/YouTube seem to be replacing Google searches for younger people. The searcher of 2030 isn’t going to read a perfectly individualized AI-created blog post, they’re going to watch a video by someone they trust.

TLDR: widespread video will herald a return to charismatic authority, displacing quantification systems of authority.
I like to minimize the amount of time I spent with instant access to the web because too much instant access to the web is bad for my mental health. That's why I arranged things so that I don't need web access when I'm programming, and Info is a major part of my having been able to do that.
The adode can surely add whatever extension they want to address whatever problem. But unfortunately, most implementation outside of Adobe acrobat itself won't implement all of them. Most library would just implement basic part for printing and marking (At best, supports forms and javascript). That part is basically non-exist for anyone.

There is a reason that most people still use docx for forms even pdf technically support forms.

PS: pdf reader of firefox and chrome don't really supports forms until very late versions.

That seems kind of like table stakes to me. While individual apps could always include their own model (you can do it today) having a highly optimized pre-trained one in shared storage would certainly be a big benefit compared to everyone trying to stick their own copy of a similar five gig model in their app.

Plus it would mean Apple could improve it with OS updates without app makers having to update and ship app updates every single time.
Intel/AMD CPUs have Intel Management Engine/Platform Security Processor:

It was taking hours to get close to the airport so they got out of their car and walked the last mile or two to the airport with their luggage.

This is ridiculous. Why didn't they drop their friend at the nearest Metro Line C (Green Line)? There is an airport shuttle from Aviation/LAX station.
They are coming to be.

First of all, it's simply completely unaffordable in developing countries so you can't realistically consider them part of the market. In rural India, an iPhone 15 pro Max or whatever is more than a year of income for many.

Coming to countries like the us, studies show that among younger folks, apple's market share is close to 90% [1]

The legal jargon surrounding what dominance is remains completely irrelevant, just like the legal system itself -- the punishments are pocket money for these companies, so it's mostly ceremony to keep lawyers employed.

But from a logical standpoint, they most certainly already are in many segments, and are coming to be in other segments.
Indeed.

Xilinx, for example, used to be very friendly about making really cheap or even free FPGAs available to academic users. This is because those users lead either directly to design wins (some academic designs go big, NSF style) or they become corporate users who are familiar with Xilinx gear.

But the software was crap, and they would have gotten more wins if the software wasn’t so awful.
AI/ML being used as part of enterprise. There is potential in this space, everyone has their recipe. A common platform would be good.
The higher-ups and C-suits in the enterprise are only talking about how AI/LLMs can help generate more revenue.
It absolutely is arbitrary. The idea is that, if you like the service more, you'll tip more, so service providers are incentivized to give you better service. But how it is that you like your service is completely up to you. You can tip more or less based on speed of service, accommodations of personal preferences, server's skin color, advice on which dishes and drinks are best, whatever you want.
You’re missing the primary reason: they controlled pricing. What price could other operating systems makers charge in the late 90s, early 2000s? It didn’t matter, Microsoft had forced OEMs to only sell PCs with Windows or not be able to sell Windows per-installs at all.

If Apple said to Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile that they could only sell iPhones if they only sold iPhones and _then_ used that position to bundle other services they would look like Microsoft. I could see potentially on the supply side (buying all of TMSCs most cutting edge capacity) Apple has that power, but on the consumer side they have no price control in any market (Apple products are not a market).

Nice.... a website that offers even more web pages.
I mean that, to me, the difference between message passing and method calling is not significant enough to say that these languages are following different programming paradigms - like you say OOP vs languages with objects.

Afaict the difference between Smalltalk and Objective-C style message passing and Java and C# style method calling is purely syntactic.
The information you find when using Google and LLMs has to originate somewhere. The original sources of information are best kept organized.
It could end up a very big advantage.

Apple has been using their Neural Engine for a couple of years now, and it’s obviously been noticed. Other companies are now starting to include similar blocks in their CPUs.

They could be a match or even better, or they could end up looking like an old integrated graphics card against a discrete GPU.

Time will tell us how much of a difference all of this makes.
I've written what could be the largest man page in the world, and possibly the only one that auto-numbers its sections down to three levels. I've written a bunch of smaller ones over the years, and when contributing patches to GNU programs, I did a tiny bit of Info documenting.

I can say with confidence that the language used for Info documentation is vastly superior to the nroff/troff language. Man pages are not suitable for writing large manuals. It didn't stop me, but what I'm doing is not really scalable.

To get a decent HTML version I had to maintain my own fork of the man2html program (a particular one of them; there exist more than one, and all suck in different ways). That program is not enough; there is considerable custom post-processing done on the HTML output, to add a bettr table of contents and internal hyperlinks and such.

I wrote numerous macros for all the necessary markup needed in a manual. The macros have weird syntax. I wrote a lint tool to check the 95,000+ line document for errors in the uses of these macros, which frequently occur.

I also wrote a minor tool which I use as a filter in CGIT which renders man pages. (It's not used for that one; that's too large and complex.) E.g. if you look at this small page, you can see it in action:

https://www.kylheku.com/cgit/cppawk/tree/cppawk.1

you see it as if you were reading it in man, rather than the source code, which you can see in the "plain" view. The line numbers are wrong: they are calculated from the original source. So while the rendered page ends at 250-something lines, the line numbers keep going past 400. There is no way a CGIT filter can indicate that it has completely munged the input into a different form, which has fewer lines.

So the summary of man pages is: awful language + next to nonexistent tooling for publishing quality documents in multiple formats.

On the topic of troff, it's the GNU project which holds up that language: it provides a program called GNU Roff (groff). If you ever render a man page to PDF, that's likely what you will be using. So, in a way, GNU is committed to the troff language as much as to Info.

But GNU projects would be crazy to switch from Info to man; it's an unthinkable regression.
The 25 percent gain in efficiency is achieved by reducing the waste heat from ~ 20% to ~ 0%, so (if heat is the only limiting factor), they should be able to make them 0.2 / ~0 times brighter. That number could be much greater than one.
It's mostly a standard Xubuntu with full disk encryption (just in case the machine gets stolen while travelling) i3 might be even better. I use that at work, but was too lazy to configure it on this machine.

I have desnapped it though and download Firefox directly from Mozilla. There is no Chromium on it.

Edit: I know that it would choke on opening an ever growing number of Firefox tabs. I just close them. And I don't run the machine for more than a couple of hours before shutting it down. Don't use suspend at all.

Edit2: It uses swap. Don't remember whether that was the standard setup or whether I added it myself. Of course you cannot rely on swap for responsive operation, but it helps parking some unused data because the desktop/distro is not optimized at all. And it helps you to get over a tight situation when you forget to close something. When it slows down it's a nice reminder to do so.
They could’ve gotten a corpus somehow. Maybe they licensed it from someone, maybe they do have a crawler.

It’s a very good question though. That could make all the difference, huh.
Maybe they were just giving trains Christmas off?

Or are you accusing me of secretly lying?
And it's not like GNU is unique in having other documentation beyond man pages. Most FLOSS projects these days use man as a simple summary of command-line arguments, and have the rest of their documentation in HTML. The BSD folks are the only ones that have stuck to their guns of using man as the primary source of documentation. GNU man pages also helpfully tell you that more documentation is available in info format, which something many other projects don't do.
In the replies, the author writes:

> I literally did not know info pages existed for the first 15 years I used GNU tools, and I've still never used one

A bit of irony: the link and screenshot in the OP are from the HTML version of an Info manual! In my book, that counts as using one :). HTML Info manuals are right up there with Stack Overflow for most queries about GNU tools. Most people who have searched the web for how to do something with Make, GCC, or tar have used an Info manual, unwittingly or otherwise. There are even two types of HTML export¹: one web page per node, good for sharing links, and everything on one page, good for lazy full-text search.

And while the TUI program is indeed pretty niche these days (probably partly due to the fact that it’s not installed by default in many environments), any Emacs user worth their salt is intimately familiar with Info-mode :D

No exact calculation about GBs, just a general gut feeling that current resource consumption in the industrialized world is completely unsustainable. With smarter usage only a fraction of resources is needed for still decent user experience.
Info pages are so much nicer than man pages: they have links between pages, organization and a much nicer viewer.
Based on my reading of their post where they announced it was free…

> We’ve made Beeper free to use. Things have been a bit chaotic, and we’re not comfortable subjecting paying users to this. As soon as things stabilize (we hope they will), we’ll look at turning on subscriptions again.

… and based on my reading of their jobs page …

> *How will Beeper make money?*
>
> We charge our users a $10/monthly paid subscription service. Our pricing model allows Beeper to deliver a great product and service, while eliminating any need to profit by monetizing user data.

… and the affirmation of that on their homepage …

> Our business model is simple - we build a great app and earn money from those who find value in it.

… I’m not sure where the narrative that their goal was anything other than to make money is coming from. They’re a business with a potentially useful product and full-time salaried employees.
