Windows 11 doesn't actually need a TPM or secure boot functionality to run at all, which is why Microsoft introduced an exemption commonly used in lab/school environments. When you get the “This PC can’t run Windows 11” error message during installation:

-Press Shift+F10 to open a command prompt and run regedit.exe to launch the Registry Editor.

-Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup

-Right-click on the Setup key in the left pane and choose New -> Key. Call this key LabConfig.

-Right-click the LabConfig key in the left pane and choose New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value. Call this value BypassTPMCheck.

-Right-click the LabConfig key in the left pane and choose New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value. Call this value BypassSecureBootCheck.

-Double-click both the BypassTPMCheck and BypassSecureBootCheck values and change the Value data from 0 to 1.

-Close the Registry Editor and command prompt windows.

-At the Windows setup screen with the error message, press the back button in the upper left and then click Next to continue installation normally.

After installation, the Windows Security Center will display a warning indicating that your system doesn't have a TPM, but you can choose "Dismiss" and you'll get a green validation checkmark next to that section from that point onwards.

There's a screenshot of a supposed self-leak of Windows 12 doing the rounds. It looks like what they are slowly moving towards is a full-blown macOS ripoff.

I would not be using Windows 11 if it wasn't for office policy. I'm buying a new gaming computer soon and I'm going with Linux. This Windows thing is unsustainable.
Reminds of Pakistan, specially when there was a lot of violence during 2008s. There would be _multiple_ bombs blasts on any given day and after a while, the news lost it's real world import for people. I was a tourist in Karachi then and recall appalling insensitivity when I heard of a blast on so and so road. The news just made me update the route I took that day.
1) i actually think that’s too high, i bet it’s more like 30%. My logic is that they have to have _some_ margin, but LLMs are too expensive to have typical software margins. Total speculation though.

2) It generally tracks pretty well unless the model is gaming the metric (training on the test set, overfit to the specific source of data, etc). The relative rankings will typically match in both.

3) alas, not with the mild winter North America’s having. They only stop below -5C or so. I am lucky though. The woodpecker stopped attacking my house and started attacking my neighbor’s. Even worse, it used to be a downy woodpecker,and it’s now been replaced by a pileated one (think: Woody).

Let's put it like this: you want a nice drawer to store clothes. It has one purpose and one purpose only. You can either go to Ikea and get a 50 EUR drawer that will do the job, or you can pay 500 EUR to a local artisan for a nice cabinet with solid wood, an elegant design, a nice finish and even good wood for the back part. Literally depends on who you are, but I don't see how this is any different.

And before "software is cheap and wood is not", yes, but paint is also cheap and you don't judge an art piece by the price of the materials used.

There are levels to apartments - I have lived in apartments like this in my 20s, but there is a whole world of single family condos that is more like my suburban childhood home. I live in a townhome in a dense area and experience no noise from neighbors beyond the occasional lawnmower or loud car. I’ve been able to find homes like that easily in urban centers in various parts of the US where I’ve lived.
first question that came to my mind you answered :) thanks!. i think its interesting a lot of stuff adheres to such ABIs etc. especially since they were conceived of quite a time ago, and often lean towards being compatible with older CPUs, where newer ones with more extended registers etc. might have features that could be used to improve this without making the structs shorter. I guess it's not super interesting to make software for specific hardware or hardware classes / generations as it'll be unusable on some machines, but having compilers etc. that _can_ produce it might be cool if you want to super optimise the code running on your system towards your systems's hardware features.

I've helped a relative with some issue on a Windows 11 machine and the UX was just atrocious. The new design is just another layer on top of everything else, so depending on which setting you need to change you'll have to dive through 4 or 5 generations of "Windows Design Language" - the new right click menu is missing crucial entries (which can be retrieved by a sub-menu, which is just the old right click menu again) - things like "copy" and "paste" are just icons - it's frustrating to no end.

Before I touched it I thought Windows 11 would be an update to the design language used in Windows 10, but the fact that there's just another layer on top of the existing stuff is mind boggling. Nothing is cohesive, there's no discernible reason for the changes that have been made (who exactly is the new context menu for?), and I'm just left wondering what the hell this whole thing has been for.

And this has just been from a thirty minute session troubleshooting some issues on another PC, I'm sure if I had to actually get work done (and had to fight with the privacy-invasive attention-grabbing shenanigans going on in the start menu), I'd have even more reason to be frustrated.
All the "fringes" stuff is where the magic is. The author suggests that no one notices some of the refinements, well this may be true on day one, but people discover these touches as they grow more familiar. Those subtle thoughtful additions are what makes the difference between an app I like using, and one I love using. They help me feel a couple of things:

1) A connection; I feel like I noticed something just for those who care
2) Assurance the product is well cared for
3) A feeling that the dev understands me

This stuff is gold for a product. I am thinking of Procreate when I think of the king of this sort of thing. That app is just so ridiculously clever. I don't know how they managed to take the plethora of UI that other illustration apps have and squeeze it down into ~6 menu items. Somehow it works beautifully and there are so many subtle touches and hidden workflow gestures just waiting to be discovered. It's usable out of the box, and the more you use it the more you naturally learn how to use it more efficiently.

As a courtesy, it should be downvote + comment, if poss.

Everything is dockerised because I love reproducible builds.

- My online recipes, which are just markdown compiled by the static site generator I created for my business.

A 2020 study found microplastics and nanoplastics in fruit and vegetables sold by supermarkets and in produce sold by local sellers in Catania in Sicily, Italy. Apples were the most contaminated fruit, and carrots had the highest levels of microplastics among the sampled vegetables.

No, that was the Secure Boot scare. TPM is unrelated to that particular matter, though it can interact with Secure Boot (as part of Measured Boot).

Both technologies apply to any operating system and provide important software security benefits.

Ask HN: Is there a great book for understanding LLMs?
I'm looking for a book that would help me to understand ChatGPT/Bard etc. Amazon is flooded with low quality texts and and complex, theoretical works about LLMs. I'm an experienced software developer with a broad understanding of CS, so I'm looking for something that won't hold my hand too much but also won't overwhelm me with equations. Maybe something like SICP (a wonderful book that manages complexity while keeping depth), but for LLMs.

Any suggestions?

That doesn't make much sense. The applications viewport can be resized, be in a widescreen, have a rotated monitor, hide the taskbar, etc. What difference does all that make having the task bar somewhere else? What's an example?
You are right.

What I mean by that comment is that people might come to a store and think: "Wow, this 65" TV is huge, I don't need that". But they are forgetting that when watching a movie, a lot of screen space is unused, because the aspect ratio is different (those black bars on the top and bottom).

So, if you can fit the TV somewhere, it's always a good idea to pick a larger one than you think you need.

Fair enough, thanks for the elaborate reply. do you edit text in the terminal? My main reason for wanting this feature is to be able to scroll up/down in vim; having the text jump a line at a time makes it slightly harder to read, which ads up over time.

I think I agree with you that smooth output from command line output isn't necessary, and a fringe benefit at best.
Same for me. I just launched my first full stack side project (I'm a mobile dev by day.) I was always technically capable of it...but using LLM's I basically was able to skip the "how do I do X in node" steps and significantly speed up the backend side of things, while I still learned a ton in the process.

Now it feels like I have these incredible capabilities to apply LLMs in novel ways. I've had a personal project (an expense tracking app) where now I can see a path to easily do things like scanning receipts accurately, automatically categorizing CSV imports, etc. They were always within the realm of possibility - but would have taken so much more time to build as a one man shop. And we are just at the tip of the iceberg right now.
My biggest sadness is wishing that it was easier and more accessible to build stuff like this on iOS. Making things and distributing to the App Store is an absolute nightmare. Of course that’s also what makes it so much better than almost every other App Store. But they still let trash in.

I’m not sure what the right balance is, and maybe this is the right balance.

As Spaniard and European I always think that what we did to the native Americans was atrocious and led to the lost of lots of knowledge and amazing cultures.

Something that is stuck in my mind is a visit to the Iglesia de Santo Tomás in Guatemala[1], I remember the guide explaining us how the Spaniards used to built Catholic churches on top of any place where the Mayas did their rituals. Now the building is used for Maya's rituals again. Having been raised catholic, culturally and personally, seeing that was a weird liberating feeling. Worth visiting BTW.

Taking notes carefully, thanks

> the ones that are actually good are Wabash, Shenandoah, Sunflower, and Potomac

Well's delight is a four of five stars so, over average. Shenandoah that tastes like a banana is maybe a 4.5. Sunflower (said to have also a bland banana taste) could be maybe a 3.5.

but it depends a lot of the ripeness, the number of fruits in the tree (Prolific by comparison is a 'one star over five', but... lots of fruits) and the personal taste. Ripeness is a trait that is tricky to realize. As a rule of thumb, if it has black spots is overripe.

The fruit can taste like a mix of caramel, vanille, bubblegum, pineapple, banana and poison (if overripe or wild variety). More or less depending on the variety.

We've spent 100 years refining and honing the interface. But of course they know better. They're smart, everybody else is stupid - and that is why I don't like Tesla.
