I picked the upgrade to the low-power screen, which should look much better than the base screen, although probably not as good as a Mac one. OLED would cost an extra €100 compared to that, although it does have some compromises such as higher power draw. Also, current Thinkpads have 1920x1200 screens on most models now, not 1920x1080. And the OLED ones are 2880x1800, which sounds nice but honestly 1200p sounds nicer as it'd be usable without scaling.

Those prices in the French store look absolutely wild to me. In the Dutch store, the base model T14 Gen 4 AMD starts at 999, without any discounts visible!

With some additional guidance and prompting to GPT4 on ChatGPT I've gotten it to at least output the correct solution sometimes (7 correct answers out of 10 tries):

Find the correct answer to this riddle:

> Tabitha likes cookies but not cake. She likes mutton but not lamb, and she likes okra but not squash. Following the same rule, will she like cherries or pears?

Employ the following strategy:

- Suggest a list of 5 unique and novel patterns that potentially can find the answer
- Check if the patterns applies without exceptions
- Slowly double-check if the patterns was correctly applied, that you correctly assessed if it's accurate or not
- Explain your reasoning for each step to ensure nothing vital was missed
I started an interview at fly like 1.5 years ago.

Figured I’d give it a shot, they were very responsive, gave me the challenge and I spent more time than was suggested. They had a few core technologies I was not familiar with at all, but figured I could hack it…I could not.

Anyway, I really appreciated it. Walked away with nothing but positive feelings.

I have spent enough time applying/interviewing over the last decade that I am often in a dilemma when I get an offer that I don’t want bc the process is so fucky/I already have negative feelings. From HR setting expectations and then not meeting them, the laid-out interview process not lining up, remote/hybrid changing, inability to describe actual projects I would work on, not meeting people I would work under/with, made to feel like I lack intelligence by interviewers, etc.

I’m not a “rockstar” programmer and never have tons of offers, but I have turned down offers because of screwy interview processes/interviewers just to stay at the evil I know.
HK is part of China.
Yes, and I don't think there are much changes since then? Still the waitlist.
Ask HN: What do you use to download videos?
Sometimes I want to download a video, but there is no download option most of the time. How do you download videos?

Sorry but this seems like yet another poster like splash page inspiration sites like Dribble, Awwwards, Behance, Httpster, Gsap, Godly.

I've yet to find any sites with actual real world UX examples; actual content, actual text, not miles of scrolling and enormous whitespace, 1 picture and a size 200 font - that's a poster, cool but irrelevant.

If you are doing work for a company you need to put lots actual content on the screen while maintaining elegance, that is the hard part.

> Or maybe it’s part of the “Stalin wasn’t so bad” nationalist revisionism that has been building in Putin’s 21st-century Russian Federation.

I think it is worth pointing out that Stalin and Beria were actually Georgian, not Russian. Additionally, the architect of what was later known as the KGB was a Pole, Felix Dzerzhinsky.

Here is an interesting excerpt from the Dzerzhinsky entry in Wikipedia about an exchange with Lenin (who was actually Russian) on the question of Soviet policy on nationalities,

April 1917 Party Conference, when Lenin accused Dzerzhinsky of Great-Russian chauvinism, he replied: "I can reproach him (Lenin) with standing at the point of view of the Polish, Ukrainian and other chauvinists."

Today Putin often says that Vladimir Lenin is responsible for giving national minorities the freedoms they continue to enjoy today (some in form of independent statehood). He says this in a negative tone, and often equates it to placing a nuclear bomb under Russia.

My reason for pointing this out is that Soviet history is really peculiar and one has to be careful with saying Soviet = Russian.

"Erm yes, there is proof in science."

Well, then you know more than me. And I have a STEM PhD.

" But I am open to be convinced with good arguments."

I told you. Stacking argument. There is a paper about it, I can't find it right now. And that something is not testable right now (Think Einstein Relativity that was for some years only a theory) or String Theory does not mean that it can't be tested in the future. The paper made a prediction when it can be tested.

World of Warcraft is no failure by any measure, but it’s not the world-defining explosion it once was.

Existing players keep playing but you rarely hear of new players; at best they may convince old subscribers to return.

Minecraft is also old but seems to be collecting new players decently well.

Numerical data is full of rich patterns, but the general-purpose compressors we've historically used on them (e.g. snappy, gzip, zstd) are designed for unstructured, string-like data. Pcodec (or pco) is a new approach for numerical sequences that gets better compression ratio and decompression speed than alternatives. It usually improves compression ratio substantially, given the same compression time. Plus it's built to perform on all common CPU architectures, decompressing around 1-4GB/s.

You might have seen me post about Quantile Compression in previous years. Pco is its successor! Pco gets slightly better compression ratio, robustly handles more types of data, and (most importantly) decompresses much faster.

If you're interested in using it, there's a Rust API, Python (PyO3) API, and a CLI.
For a start, mathematics would likely be the same.
What I'm saying is that you think you paid for something different than what you actually pay for if you look in the actual contract.

Check by yourself : whatever your provider is, without looking, can you say what guarantee they give you that your file won't be deleted randomly ? Do you think it's stronger than "best effort but no % written" ? Then go check what it actually says.

I'm not saying I think it's a good state of affairs, I'm european and part of the crowd that cheered when ISP got smacked for abusing "unlimited" in their ads while the contract said different.

But parent's comment I'm answering too can at best be seen as a warning that specifically google storage can make your files disapear in some rare cases, if that matters to you enough then you need to know the same is true for all the big others.

I'm not sure. Most likely not with current technology. In my experience the reason most people like it is because a lot of great quantum physics has come out of studying MWI (that is also compatible with all other interpretations), such as a lot of progress in decoherence and things like Quantum Darwinism. I try and keep a distance from these things so I don't know that much about it. I don't work on it directly so my policy is that I won't believe in any particular interpretation unless there is good evidence for it. That said, from what I know about them, MWI is one of the better ones, I certainly prefer it to Bohmian mechanics.
I was in high school right at the time the first CAD systems came in and our school was the test school for the region. Our older drafting teacher didn't want to learn the new system so he asked the class who knew "computers". I had had Commodore PETs at home for a few years and was teaching myself to code. My hand shot up and I was given full access to the new machine to "figure it out". It was my first introduction to PCs (IBM XT) and of course AutoCAD. I still remember, version 1.17b. I was introduced to LISP in AutoCAD, I ended up partaking in regional training for the other schools when they got their CAD systems, and then into a job working with AutoCAD.

In my 20's I started a company developing engineering and architectural add-ons in LISP for AutoCAD, and while we later transitioned into a general software house, those will always be my roots. John's products changed the direction of my life and I wish I had had the chance to let him know that.

When the school region later deprecated that IBM XT 10 years later the school asked me if I wanted it. Still have it along with the original Kurta tablet and Roland plotter.
I’d actually much, much rather see it set up as a proper fork (rebranded etc.), and then the features that Oracle extorts people with in the “free” but not actually free extension pack (like USB pass through) re-implemented and included directly with no ‘extension’ required.

Much of the reason I refuse to use Virtualbox for anything is how scummy Oracle is.
>> the podcast apps that exist in the Apple ecosystem aren’t as good as Spotify

Do you mean Spotify is better because it's all in one? Or specifically as a podcast client it's better? Because, as a podcast client, Spotify is shockingly bad. Perhaps the worst podcast client available. Apple Podcasts, Overcast, and Pocketcasts are all much, much better.
Presumably you only mean sports. I'm tall. My first big concussion was so stupid. I had a box of stuff in the floor near the wall under a heavy wall-mounted shelf. Stood up after picking something out of the box and smashed my head.

Since then I've had several minor ones, but as stated elsewhere, you become more easily susceptible to the effects of a concussion from even relatively small impacts after a big one. The others include helping someone move something in their garage and hitting my head on a ceiling mounted HVAC unit, stepping out of the shower (I've got terrible eyesight) and hitting the top of the door frame, those sorts of things.

You could have those happen and be fine but it seems because they happened after the bigger concussion, I'll have symptoms again, especially sensitivity to low refresh rate screens or PWM.

I try to avoid it, but I'm not going to avoid living my life. And I'm not going to stop being tall.

So if medicine can help protect my brain, I'm interested in it.
Who says that Russia would have honored that settlement?
It didnt all the others.
Russia invaded and annexed Crimea, then started the proxy war in the Donbas and then a few years later came back for a full invasion. Dont forget the plethora of different reasons Putin gives for the invasion. Bio Labs, nuclear weapons aspirations, language laws, civil war(that he himself started).......There will always be more than enough reasons for Russia to invade and annexes its neighbors. And they will do it.

This is nothing else than your typical post colonial/imperial war where Ukraine fights for its independence while Russia tries to reclaim some its former imperial territories.

Just watch what Russian politicians say, what is being written in the news, what all those political talkshows say. They are not even trying to hide it. Its mostly here in the west that you have those discussions.

Why not? Because without animals you wouldn't be here today.

We're only here today because animals have given us the resources to survive. From cavemen hunting for meat to bees, insects pollinating plants.

The only resource we can provide is limited breast milk, sperm and meat. But human meat is deemed socially unacceptable, sperm only exists within biological males and the biological women has a limited timespan in their life where only if the conditions are right they lactate. So no, we have no importance.

Without any feasible resources that the homo sapien race can provide, of which could provide cultivation, that in return makes humans unimportant. QED
It makes me happy reading all the comments agreeing on the same thing, the web should be more minimal.
Exactly - a very successful business can be had serving an existing group of customers for life, but eventually it will die out if new blood isn’t entering. Perhaps the only new kids playing WoW are literally children of people who met in the game …
If I were the son of a fascist, I would tell people the truth that my father was a fascist.

If people were complaining about the influence of fascism on, say, the footwear industry, I would not tell people the truth that my father invented those plastic things on the ends of shoelaces (that are called aglets and whose true purpose is sinister) because that would come off as an apology for fascism.

That DARPA invented one small part of what would become the internet half a century later isn't germaine to criticisms of the influence of the government, intelligence or military on that internet. Silicon Valley has always been in the pocket of the military industrial complex, but most of the tech industry, to say nothing of tech and hacker culture, isn't from there and doesn't need to worry about biting the hand that feeds it.

I feel like this approach might still pose some challenges or issues with regards to time or stale data. A couple of problematic scenarios:

- Application requests a JWT token. It then crashes and gets restarted. It gets past the problematic point, but later when trying to make a request, it crashes due to the cached token being expired.

- Application interacts with the current time in a meaningful manner. Due to the log replay, it will always live in the past and when switching from the cache-sourced time to the current time, some issues might occur, like deltas being larger than expected

- Application goes through a webshop checkout flow. After restart, some of the items in its cart have been already sold, but the app doesn't check this, since it already went through a (cached) check and got the result
It matters very much for the reasons I mention in this paragraph [0]

"A century ago Nietzsche said that after we killed God we would
search for him everywhere, tearing apart every institution and
everything we love and believe in. Finally, we found computer
technology. We now bow before it and throw onto the sacrificial pyre
our time, our dignity and our fellow humans. Computers cannot be
wrong. Even if good men and women must die to maintain that belief."

Is <Deity> real?

Let's say you are in a temple surrounded by a hundred sword wielding
devout believers who will cut off your head and play football
with it if you offend them.

Right there, <Deity> is very real. Whether you personally believe or
not, there is a real situation, in which you are not in control and
your opinion, logic, reason and "rightness" as as good as irrelevant.

Other people make <Deity> real there.

We are in a world where people believe in computers and digital
technology. It's more than just a scientific question, it's become an
ideology with laws to back it up. This is no different to
pre-Enlightenment Christianity or Caliphate.

You had better believe in the transcendence of cybernetic
systems.. or else! [1,2]

> I always have my turning signal but to cyclists it doesn’t mean much, they will always try to pass me on the right on the intersection

I suspect you aren't merging into the bike lane when turning right and leaving space for a cyclist to pass you on the right. I've seen many drivers make that mistake. As a cyclist I never pass cars on the right in this situation because drivers don't check.

You are supposed to merge into the bike lane before turning. It's in the DMV handbook. The painted bike lane becomes a dotted line close to the intersection for precisely that reason.
That page also doesn't mention that SQLite can act as a gateway drug.

Store stuff in SQLite now, and use a RDBMS later when it makes sense.
This might be correlation rather than causation. Perhaps Alzheimer’s Disease is associated with mental changes earlier in life that reduce the desire/need for Viagra. In that case, staying sexually active with a partner later in life and using Viagra is a sign that one is less likely to develop Alzheimer’s.
Instagram maybe, but do WhatsApp and Quest actually make money? WhatsApp is free and has no advertising (so far). Quest is very niche.

Yeah I looked it up. Quest costs Meta $5.7bn for $1bn in revenue.

I would disagree with you, my personnal anecdotal data showing google to be more reliable at it than others. In the lack of hard properly collected data, this give all of them the same probability. I'm sure someone out there thought "let's use microsoft skydrive because google is unreliable".
It's a Battle Royale game with building. Third person shooter. 100 players are dropped off on an island, last one alive wins.

A circle is around the island that slowly becomes smaller. If you're out of the circle you take damage. This essentially speeds up the later parts of the game.
I agree but it really upsets some people when someone else gets off the academic treadmill
There is no definition of what "simulation" actually means let alone the definition of escape. You're just starting with something you know, ie simulating something on a computer or other device and assuming there is something comprehensible outside it, just like how our reality exists outside a computer simulation. But consider the reality that software exists in and what use our reality is to it. It cannot exist in it (outside of the computer) let alone "comprehend" it.

In any possible "simulation" we live in, "outside" isn't going to entail any elements of what you perceive inside your (created) reality, just like software, other than with convenient assumptions to prop up the idea.

It may be a fun "mind wank" but don't take it seriously, because it doesn't make any sense.
So this basically turns VirtualBox into a replacement for virt-manager and virsh?

AFAIK VirtualBox does not support PCI passthrough (like GPU), how is this case handled?

Since I've moved to QEMU/KVM on Linux I've never looked back at VirtualBox, but I use the latter on Windows and there I'm always remembered of how much nicer and friendlier the GUI is.

Edit: I just noticed that VirtualBox has experimental PCI passthrough via the extension package [0], could this be used with the KVM backend?

Never implied that they did. However there are several common mild conditions to which the only option you'll get is removing them. For instance, a single gallbladder stone (instead of trying to dissolve it) or a mild state of appendicitis (the body can manage).
Announcing layoffs and pairing the announcement with something about AI appears to be a bit of a pattern at the moment. Something something psyop something something

I wanted to use Music on a windows PC that has a good DAC attached and I was politely told that they don't support security keys on windows.

No alternative. No 'get a code on another device', just PFO.
I read that the UK Storm Shadows are configured as bunker-busters, with two warheads - one for breaking into the bunker, one to explode inside it. The French Storm Shadows (can't remember what they call them) carry cluster warheads, which I suspect are more use to Ukraine during the current positional warfare.
I think preference ultimately depends on the shape of your head. It's nice that they included both for that reason.
It's actually more tha bikes don't have license plates, and aren't pulled over and ticketed by cops. The anonymity drives lawlessness.
Hiding the fact that they did it by intentionally giving false answers is in no way clever or even smart. You aren't following the rules just because you make it so you can't give the correct answer. You just convince me that your product has nothing of value to add because every response is now clouded by doubt.

Edit:

I just ran my same lyrics test with Bard and it passed 100%. It gave me the full lyrics and chorus using part of the lyrics as input, not telling it specifically what song to use. So in my experience Bard is now better than ChatGPT even though nothing about ChatGPT has changed other than OpenAI has lobotomized it.
Big Theta describes a both and upper and lower asymptotic bound.
> Common misconception but the US does not pay for its navy by itself. That is done by the world using a ever overprinted currency for reserve and trade. The US can print aka lend that money to set a navy to work. The world pays for its police.

Common misconception that the US controls the world dollar. The Eurodollar has been where the world's trade has been pegged for half a century, the US simply benefits from a massive economy and it being their native currency.

This is like saying the US controls the world through ubiquity of "English" as a business language. No, but they definitely benefit from it. You can choose to speak any other language, or use any other reserve currency that you like.
On the very page you linked it is explained what the theta means. Ironic.

There is actually no completely objective way in which it’s possible to determine the relative importance or sacredness of an individual’s life between one species and another.

There is no particularly good objective reason for me to value my neighbours life more than a fish.

However I choose to be an unabashed specieist and value any individual human life above any individual other life.
