> For example, they pressured all vendors to drop S3, dropped it from Phoenix and went all in with Microsoft's s2idle without any clear way to support it. As a result you have multiple vendors with half working idle implementations, overheating and other bugs.

Are there still Intel parts with working S3? Linux seems to think that my 11th gen intel laptop supports it, but it doesn't work (hangs on going to sleep). I haven't figured how to coax Windows into using that instead of s2idle. This particular model doesn't offer a BIOS toggle for that, as I hear it was the case on some thinkpads.

I'm also not convinced the s2idle situation is that much better on the Intel side. I sometimes use Windows on my work laptop and let it hang around suspended when I'm done for the day. Yesterday evening (Sunday), after two days of doing nothing, it figured it would be as good a time as any to turn into a jet engine. I also sometimes find it is pretty warm coming out of my backpack after a 45-60 minute commute with a long portion of walking, even when it's close to freezing outside (we've had a few weeks of 0-2º days where I live). This doesn't seem like an isolated thing: see all the people complaining about other manufacturers' laptops not going to sleep properly while being carried around closed in bags.

edit: found a way to enable S3 on windows. It goes to sleep but doesn't wake up. It actually seems to mess up the PC so much that after a forced reboot the fan goes crazy for a few minutes before showing the UEFI logo.

i really don't think the 6800 begat the 68000 - they have almost nothing in common, architecture-wise. on the other hand, the intel 8080 certainly connected to the 8086 and in fact a lot of 8086 programs were mechanically translated, at least in part, from the 8080 (and z80).

It’s really hard to say how many unsolved issues with AI are going to be fixed tomorrow vs 20+ years from now.

Midjourney v6 still has massive issues with lining up stuff that goes behind something else and I have no idea if that’s fixable or an inherent limitation to their approach. Hands have noticeably improved, but are still very hit and miss etc.

What’s really frustrating is I often can’t tell if I’m bad at prompts or the underlying system is has issues.
There is nothing wrong with O(n). It can be faster than O(1) depending on the size of n and what you're doing (small arrays are usually faster than hashmaps for example).

I'm not using neither nix nor those flatpak/distrobox/all-containers-distro things, but I tried both, and I really don't see a single argument why those would be a better approach than nix. It's so coherent and fast and lightweight, and seems like a much simpler approach for everybody involved (well, apart from the language which can be confusing for sys guys like me).
If we get to a point where AI can generate realistic 3D models it’s game over for a lot of things. If you have a 3D model of a character it completely eliminates continuity issues. At that point entire games and movies should be possible without a single actor/actress or any support crew.

Using a sandboxed bytecode VM has merit, but I would naively expect wasm to be far better at it since RISC-V was designed for hardware and wasm was designed for exactly this usecase (sandboxed code running in another application with good performance and isolation).

Price ridiculously wasn't something I considered, once that out of the way it was mostly aesthetics, customisation, reliability and repairability.

I preferred how chucky the UHK was vs the ErgoDox kits. Also preferred the hot swappable mods you can take in and out of the UHK were pretty compelling too. These are all listed here: https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/shop

Though admitedly, I haven't swapped them out once since I settled on what works for me.

The UHK has a strong community behind it's parts, and speaking from sone one who can and does spill even the best unspillable coffee cups.

The risk of me breaking the UHK is a lot closer to an unacceptable number than zero. And being able to swap out coffee broken parts is easy with UHK.

Erodox and ZSA easily could have been too but I couldn't find as strong of a compelling argument as with the UHK. It was more likely a coffee rinse of the Ergofox or ZSA keyboards would mean buying a new one which meant the upfront cost of the UHK was in some part, insurance against my own clumsiness.

The customisable and awesome software that came with UHK was very high up there too but I got the impression those features were almost as prominent in the competition too.

The SW is not "thought" about it and if some operation does not work or does not finish in a period of time, if will mostly crash.

I believe you, but why does your source claim otherwise?

"Under PSR, freight trains operate on fixed schedules, much like passenger trains, instead of being dispatched whenever a sufficient number of loaded cars are available."

So do they leave on a fixed schedule, or is there no fixed time? It sounds like the previous system had no fixed time (leave when ready) whereas in the PSR world - there is in fact a set schedule.

Look I get this, its not like one is backwards compatible to the other. But the 68000 exists because Motorola were invested in the 6800 and saw a path onward, albiet leapfrogging to 32 bits, and deliberately not doing backwards compat ISA.

Snake-oil and moralizing. Dietetics suffers from the same issue that mental health does: there's an underlying stigma that causes people to inflict a moral judgement on the ill; fat people - or so the old line of thinking goes - are immoral. A shocking number of people, including many doctors and scientists, view diabetes as a "fat people disease," and that diabetics are in effect being punished for their gluttony. This isn't always a conscious bias, but it has very negative effects.

It reminds me of the studies they've done in Canada and the US about how natives (American Indians) die a lot of the time in the ER because they're immediately written off as alcoholics or drug-addicts, and so their complaints are evaluated through the lens of "this person just wants opiates."

George Green, who discovered Greens Theorem, was such a bumpkin. His father was a miller in the unfashionable countryside, and he had a modest education. A mystery of math history is how such a bumpkin was so poorly versed in advanced mathematics (inaccessible to someone far from a university, where such knowledge was confined at that time), discovered such remarkable mathematics that the average engineering undergrad knows his name.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Green_(mathematician)

Frankly history is replete with bumpkins making extraordinary discoveries. Being a bumpkin is associated with ignorance, not stupidity. Intelligence is pretty uniformly distributed, even among the black, short, fat, and bumpkins.

The general consensus seems to be that low income and low skill workers will be affected real soon.

I don't know where we currently are in the hockey stick curve in ML/AI development, but if it keeps developing at this pace it will soon start hitting high-skill and high-income workers, and then we're going to have a huge economic problem.

I’ve sold, worked with real (not dropship) businesses that sell and a customer.

As a seller going through multiple channels if you are selling books for example - Amazon basically pays - many bookstores slow pay, even distributors can get way behind and require lots of phone time. The trade is that it’s all on amazons terms. Same thing with fulfillment- many sellers complaining have never actually run a warehouse and done pick / ship. I don’t doubt complaints by sellers are valid, I just wish Amazon dialed down the marketplace side because it’s too full of junk for me

There are certainly issues (it’s in alpha after all—this was meant to be more of a soft launch, but it then kind of blew up), but I don’t think anything you listed would qualify as “jank”, and rather your unfamiliarity with the system or non-standard/idiosyncratic designs? That doesn’t apply to the “underline to hint @ shortcut” point, which has been a standard Windows UI principle since, well, before I was born…

But for instance, there are visible controls—they are available via a central command layer which fuzzy matches virtually every operation available in the debugger. This lister also in-place allows rebinding of any command. The panels don’t disappear when empty to avoid janky consequences that arise in traditional docking systems, like DearImGui’s & others. Panels and tabs are completely orthogonal. I plan to introduce a more familiar docking system which offers, in effect, fast paths for the more granular panel/tab operations.

But the overarching reason why I chose a from scratch UI layer is because DearImGui leads to more janky results and is much less-suited for the ambitions of the frontend. I don’t think the frontend would be nearly as solid had I chosen a different route.

> If someone is comfortable with that, I don't see the issue.

Perhaps the account operators are comfortable with that, but what about their contacts?

Account sharing is explicitly against Terms of Service in certain cases. I know wives who run email accounts under their husband's name, and nobody's the wiser. I suppose that's alright for an intimate married couple.

Once on a mud long ago, one of the players had a persona as an attractive young woman, and she was known as one of the most active and wittiest people in our social circle. Then upon reaching a crisis, "she" admitted that her character had been alternately controlled by a woman and her live-in boyfriend, handing off whenever they saw fit. So some of us felt a little shaken by the deception. Of course we all knew from the start, that many "female" characters in the MUD world were not so in real life.

There was an MMOG I used to play where account sharing was forbidden, and quite bannable. I had worked many long hours on building a skill that would be useful to our whole group, and I let it be known that I would be available for anyone who wanted me to help out in that regard. Yet, the other leader maintained an alt character to sort of circumvent a game mechanic, and the idea is that we'd all share the credentials to log in to that alt account and use the character. I was livid, because that activity could've got them all banned by association, and also because they just didn't seem interested in the service I offered them. Oh well.

Plywood sounds great!
It is used in boat Buildng all the time.(aircraft also)
By bending very thin(1/8” for example), you can add by gluing, and or nailing each later on top, which will hold the original bent shape. Plywood itself is strong, because of it's intrinsic layers, and adding more layers on top, makes it extremely strong.
Making the bow and Stern, fit and be as tight and strong - that's another problem.

Resistors drift, that's true. I've seen them drift 10-20% across 70 years. I've seen transistors from the 1960s work just fine.

It's not the hardware. If it was, you'd get random crashes, not slower performance. Everything is locked to the clock signal, and there is plenty of wiggle room, relatively speaking.

Both are technically correct and both statements are vast oversimplifications of a complex subject, however the second statement leads into more advanced topics naturally, creating a smoother progression of knowledge that builds on itself.
