The downside is that your PC gets locked down and perhaps excluded from services. It also serves as a unique hardware ID, even if there are alternatives for those. Some games and streaming platforms already use it to "validate" your device.

There are some very theoretical security benefits. You can also achieve those without TPM, but it might be a little less convenient subjectively.

But it mainly serves to lock you up as a user. You own your OS a little bit less. Overall it is not a good or sensible solution to modern security concerns and I would recommend to deactivate it.

Some security researchers might disagree and there is some benefit in corporate environments. But those that deny its problems completely aren't worth the money since their security scenarios will be lacking.
This piece is a good advert for the book it's reviewing. I had no idea the critics thought poorly of her in her time - how could anyone listen and not think she's sublime!
> That's how it should be

Why exactly? I'm not aware of any benefits of filenames being case-sensitive, it just opens a room for tons of very common mistakes that literally can't happen otherwise. It's not like in coding where it helps enforce the code style and thus aids readability - and even in programming it was a source of PITA to solve bugs before IDEs became smart enough to catch typos in var names. One thing I loved in Pascal the most is that it didn't care about the case, unlike the C.
> Article 17

Right to property

1. Everyone has the right to own, use, dispose of and bequeath his or her lawfully acquired possessions. No one may be deprived of his or her possessions, except in the public interest and in the cases and under the conditions provided for by law, subject to fair compensation being paid in good time for their loss. The use of property may be regulated by law in so far as is necessary for the general interest.

You can do whatever you want with your propery, this is a fundamental and established right of private property.

> This is aimed at preventing companies from preventing professional repair services from doing so.

If repairmen are able to repair, you can, too. It is already by and large possible for many appliances. I have done it many times, there are websites where you can order many parts and even manuals (e.g. espares.co.uk in the UK).

The issue is one of competence and will to do it. It's utopian to think that most people want to repair their own appliances or are able to.

It's like for cars. In the (not so) 'olden' days you could buy detailed manuals and parts where available, including from junkyards. Cars were purely mechanical. And yet the vast majority of people were not touching them beyond checking the oil level...
According to [1] the manufacturers claim 2% of the TOPS of a RTX 4090, and only 0.8% the power consumption.

$200 in prototype quantities [2] which is 12% the price of a 4090 - but perhaps the price drops when you order them in bulk?

They claim it compares favourably to an 'Nvidia Xavier NX' for image classification tasks, providing somewhat more FPS at significantly lower power consumption. 218 fps running YOLOv5m on 640×640 inputs.

They're completely silent about the amount of memory it has, but you can fit int8 YOLOv5m into about 20 MB so it'll certainly be an amount measured in megabytes rather than gigabytes.

Their target market is "CCTV camera that tracks cars and people" rather than "Run an LLM" or "train a network from scratch"

Remember that everyone disagrees about what is petty and what is not. Take the current article: some would argue that requiring a vehicle (such as the boat) to be parked in a place where it cannot be seen from the street is petty, and that the HOA is petty for having such a rule. Yet many many cities and towns across America have similar parking rules. They were put in place by a reasonably democratic process, so it must be that there is a fair amount of disagreement over whether they are petty or not. You have the same recourse in both cases: vote, join the local government, or move somewhere less petty.
> HOAs require more than […] freedom of association to exist: they require an ability to bind any future owners of a piece of land to join the HOA […].

You are often not buying a piece of land when you move to a HOA-linked residence, rather you can be buying a particular unit, but there are also 'common areas' that are the property of the legal entity of the HOA.

If you do not want to be part of an HOA then you have to purchase what is called (at least in Canada) freehold land.

> While most people hear the word “condo” and think of an apartment style unit, that’s not always the case. Some townhouses (and even certain detached homes) are considered condos too.

Wow, is it just me or does that screenshot of 2005 Krita 1.4 UI[1] look absolutely amazing?

All the icons are very distinctive and clear on what they do and the colors make them pop without stabbing your retinas. Perfect.

Feels like the mid-2000's was the peak in software UI design and it slowly started going downhill afte that, with companies chasing the soulless corporate mono-chromatic flat design inspired from mobile devices where you have no idea which UI element is a button you can hit and making you always hunt down buttons instead of instinctively nailing them every time with your peripheral vision because now all buttons are monochromatic and just bend together (look at your current browser's toolbar for example).

Hoa are the mushroom head of covenants, which I see as one of the greatest threats to liberty. Boomers unilaterally reaching out the grave to encumber property on all transfers and heirs. The contract of course is unsigned by the counterparty yet somehow runs with the land. Due to this nonsense it was almost impossible finding land allowing me to build a tiny house for my family despite no zoning or codes against it.

the government is begging, because birth rates don't sustain the population which is aging out, and if you want to keep your economy in those conditions you either bring in people, or encourage reproduction (which has a lag).

As for cheaper labour - i'm not sure for most companies they end up with cheap labour exclusively from refugees, you can find cheap labour from within the EU as well.

More often than not (and wittingly or not) it is effectively by using javascript to build a browser-inside-the-browser, Russian doll style, for the purposes of tracking users' behavior and undermining privacy.

Modern "javascript frameworks" do this all by default with just a few clicks.

> HOAs are often tied to a piece of land, with it being mandatory to join if you buy the land.

Legally speaking one is often not buying the land but rather buying the unit. The land on which the unit sits is owned by a corporation (HOA), and as a condition of the lease you must abide by the corporation's rules.

Yeah, but your blog is not a full featured chat system with integrated audio and video calling, strapped on top of a document format.

There are a few architectural/policy problems in web browsers that cause this kind of expansion:

1. Browsers can update large binaries asynchronously (=instant from the user's perspective) but this feature is only very recently available to web apps via obscure caching headers and most people don't know it exists yet/frameworks don't use it.

2. Large download sizes tend to come from frameworks that are featureful and thus widely used. Browsers could allow them to be cached but don't because they're over-aggressive at shutting down theoretical privacy problems, i.e. the browser is afraid that if one site learns you used another site that uses React, that's a privacy leak. A reasonable solution would be to let HTTP responses opt in to being put in the global cache rather than a partitioned cache, that way sites could share frameworks and they'd stay hot in the cache and not have to be downloaded. But browsers compete to satisfy a very noisy minority of people obsessed with "privacy" in the abstract, and don't want to do anything that could kick up a fuss. So every site gets a partitioned cache and things are slow.

3. Browsers often ignore trends in web development. React style vdom diffing could be offered by browsers themselves, where it'd be faster and shipped with browser updates, but it isn't so lots of websites ship it themselves over and over. I think the SCIter embedded browser actually does do this. CSS is a very inefficient way to represent styling logic which is why web devs write dialects like sass that are more compact, but browsers don't adopt it.

I think at some pretty foundational level the way this stuff works architecturally is wrong. The web needs a much more modular approach and most JS libraries should be handled more like libraries are in desktop apps. The browser is basically an OS already anyway.

Yes and no. We don't need an insane amount of data to make these models accurate, if you have a small set of data that includes the benchmark questions they'll be "quite accurate" under examination.

The problem is not the amount of data, it's the quality of the data, full stop. Beyond that, there's something called the "No Free Lunch Theorem" that says that a fixed parameter model can't be good at everything, so trying to make a model smarter at one thing is going to make it dumber at another thing.

We'd be much better off training smaller models for specific domains and training an agent that can use tools deepmind style.

I think the younger generations (me and you both included) have failed to effectively direct British political discourse towards the issues that actually matter to us. Instead, we allow lazy cliches ("blame boomers", "blame Europe", "blame immigrants") to dominate the conversation. We need to stop doing that.
I feel like we are getting closer and closer to a finding the Goldilocks Llm, that with some smarter training and the right set of parameters, will get us close to got 3.5 turbo performance but at a size, cost, and time effort that is significantly lower and that is runnable locally.

Combine that with what seems like every chip adding a neural engine and it feels like we are in the early days of high performance graphics again. Right now we are in the unreal engine voodoo era, where graphics cards/neural engines are expensive/rare. But give it a few generations and soon we can assume that even standard computers will have pretty decent NPUs and developers will be able to rely on that for models

You’d be surprised to know how many people don’t even have backups. It’s just poor policy tbh to stick to one computer, or more precisely have one computer and not have a way to setup a new one in under a day.

If the business is so important getting a second one and setting it up would probably take less time than coming up with that article.

Apple had bizarre policies sometimes sure, but I think this is 10% Apple’s fault and 90% the person posting this not being responsible enough for his business tools.
I worked through think stats a couple of years ago. But I was lost on where to go next. It seems like there’s a gap between textbook and working world stats.

I wanted things like design of experiments and hierarchical bayes methods, logistic regressions, and other somewhat advanced topics, and most of the things I found were poorly written R documentation. Which from a development perspective is too much effort to grok, read papers, and then port the code to python.

It really sucks that R is the go to for so much when deploying R in a production environment is a pain or not possible.
It'd be cool if you could like just slide out a drive from the primary laptop into the backup laptop and continue on as though nothing has happened. Maybe we could even do that with batteries.

Don't get hung up in the 6am meme. Most people are stronger in the afternoon (due to the nervous system being fully online), besides you can be both healthy and productive with a routine that involves sleeping a little longer.
Battery replacements were a lot of fun even before Silicon came along. A few years ago my battery started to expand in my Intel MacBook. I went to an authorized repair shop here in Czechia (to this day there are no official Apple Stores here) and expected to pay something unreasonable (because AppleCare+ is not a thing in Czechia even though I can buy it just fine when ordering via Amazon DE) and because it's Apple.

To my surprise the technician inspected the laptop and said that the keyboard was damaged (a few keys were wonky, remember the butterfly keyboards?) and that there was an official repair program for that. It turns out that the battery, keyboard, and trackpad is a single repair item. If you want to replace one, you have to replace all three. So instead of a battery replacement, I got a keyboard replacement which just happened to include a new battery and a new trackpad. At the beginning of last year the battery started to expand again and I went to an unofficial repair shop instead. They replaced just the battery for ~$150.

Finally decided that there are too many papercuts with WSL2.
As new features and enhancements are introduced, new bugs appear at a similar rate.

This is not just me, but colleagues in the team using a mixture of personal and corporate devices encounter a similar stream of bugs. just enough to frustrate as we use WSL2 for our own work and support users.

I've yet to decide if to use VBox or go back to a Linux desktop (100% of my non admin work is Linux based, 100% of my admin work can be done through the browser).

Recently encountered issues in our team:

- New experimental disk space reclaim feature caused WSL2 machine AND NTFS corruption. I've provided logs and others have confirmed.
- 2 weeks ago installed docker desktop to help support a user. WSL2 will no longer (usually between 1 and 2GB) release memory or allow WSL2 to shutdown after shutdown of Docker Desktop.
- We still get various networking glitches with the new and old networking modes, routing and DNS issues when connected/disconnecting from VPN, IPV6, docker network access, accessing localhost web servers
- A WSUS update deployed in April breaking WSL2 until WSL2 manually shutdown and updated.
- A WSUS update requiring a restart breaking WSL2 until machine restarted.

Note everyone in the team encounters a different subset of the issues.

Covenants are separate from the deed and title searches fail to uncover them all the time. That's part of the problem, you buy a deed and some boomer crawls out from 6 feet under to unilaterally impose his will. It's infuriating as this crept up constantly when I was looking for land to build a tiny house and many sellers didn't even know some dead boomer made it illegal to not build a mcmansion in some ancient document the title clerk digs up.

That some dead previous owner can unilaterally say 'none of that' and it be binding on subsequent transfers and heirs is opposite the freedom of association.
