I don't know what to tell you. I myself never got into Emacs on the first try. It took me about two years of constant debate and deliberation. At that time, I was using IntelliJ and had been for seven years. I knew it extremely well and was very happy with it. Yet, seeing what’s possible with Emacs continuously fueled my curiosity. I was annoyed by my own inability to finally understand what makes it so great. Little by little, I started finding features and packages that were awesome, but I still kept stumbling on other roadblocks that ruined the whole experience. At some point, instead of blindly copy-pasting Elisp snippets, I tried to dissect and understand them and had a few aha moments. Finally, one day, I decided that instead of reaching for the tools I knew well already, for every problem at hand, I would try to figure out how to get it done with Emacs. It was very slow at first, but after a couple of weeks, I felt more productive than I ever was with other tools. A few months later, I received a notification about having to extend my IntelliJ license, and I realized that I didn’t need it anymore.

Emacs is extremely empowering, although it comes at a cost, even though technically it is free. For some people, including myself, that time is the best lifetime investment. I have never regretted the time and effort I spent learning it. Even with the plethora of features that constantly get added to VSCode, I have zero FOMO. I do occasionally fire it up just to make sure I don't get stuck in my bubble. Once you understand how advising functions work in Emacs and realize that you can redefine any behavior of any function, whether third-party or built-in, it gives you incredible authority over absolutely any textual data you have to deal with on your computer. Check this out: I can perform a search that looks for things on Google, DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, my browser history, and other sources (this is customizable). Then, I can select any given url and send it to an LLM to extract a summary. After that, I can create a note with a deadline and schedule to review it at a specific date and time, or add this stuff to my Anki cards collection. All that without ever leaving Emacs, and with just a few keystrokes.

If you ever feel curious about it again, maybe try Doom Emacs. Who knows? Maybe this time, it will be different.
This is worth filing a Computer Fraud and Abuse case. This clearly "exceeds authorized access". HP can argue in court that they are entitled to brick your laptop. That would probably not impress a jury or judge.

This is memory I have as well, but not specific to Dell. It was the least favorite part of building/updating any PC from back then. I don't remember one time of not coming away with some sort of scrape or cut.
The same way that it's fine to use `eval()` to parse JSON I assume.
> No, not really. Theft is not the answer.

Well HN's favored solution seems to be not caring that people are homeless until they start scaring rich people, at which point you lock them up in "mental health" institutions that are less about helping them and more about keeping them away from rich people.

My solution is not letting people own homes they don't live in, but that's going to crash a lot of rich people's investments, so we can't have that. Making sure the rich get richer is apparently more important than meeting citizens' basic needs.

So frankly, theft is the best answer currently available. I'd prefer they stole from the people actually causing the problem, the rich who buy up housing and make it unaffordable. But when they don't, maybe the middle class being stolen from shouldn't be so confused about why that's happening.

Ultimately I'm not sure why you don't have the same moral outrage about rich people buying up people's basic needs and holding them for ransom so they can get richer, as you do about poor people stealing to meet their basic needs.

In the process of migrating my 20+ years of data to Linux. Have been running it off a different disk for a year now.

My biggest concern was gaming but Steam really makes it work seamlessly. Lutrix/GOG is not as seamless but works well enough. Could be better but it works and the crap coming into Windows just pushed the final nail into the coffin. Will be retiring Windows forever in the next month.
Okay so one's I've tried:

* Eargasm -- Do not recommend, they're really hard to get a seal, the noise protection seems worse than advertised, and if it's hot and you sweat they fall out and getting a seal again is a huge PITA.

* Etymotic ER20 -- Highly recommend, super easy to get a seal, good sound quality, good nose reduction. The only negative is they're a little hard to get used to since they go really deep in your ears and they're hard plastic. Some people it really bothers when they borrow them.

* Loop -- Also highly recommend, I would spend the extra for the thing you put in the middle that gives you the extra dB reduction. These plugs are weird AF but they sit on the outside of your ear, are very comfortable, stay sealed, and don't fall out because they use your own ear to hold it in.

* Vibes -- They had the same problems as the Eargasms for me but also reduced noise less. Might be worth for "above average loudness social event" but for actually loud events I couldn't use them.

* Any Noise Cancelling -- Hate these fuckers. I've tried so many of them but they all make me feel like I'm in an airplane and they make me hear my tinnitus worse. It's not like it's louder but something about the noise cancelling makes me focus on it more. I'm sure they're great for regular ears but they can't cancel the noise coming from inside the house.

* Dark horse pick that aren't actually high-fidelity are 3M E-A-R UltraFit Corded Ear Plugs those bright neon yellow things with the blue cord. Ugly as sin but really effective. Super cheap too. In slightly noisy environments I keep them a little bit unsealed. They're my backup for when I need more dB reduction than high-fidelity filters can provide.

I'm scheduled for an appointment with an audiologist to get the custom molded -25 dB plugs. I think the woman said they'd be like $200 but I wanted something I could take to like concert concerts.

A close sibling of this mentality lives in academia as well, manifested as that professor who bases 50%+ of one's grade on the final. Also, pass/fail filtering exams (and the cultures that endorse them) generally, such as the MCAT.

I don't agree. I think things flatten off a bit in some areas -- power production, transportation. But I also think we might be on the cusp of things going hockey stick vertical before the end of the decade.
There is a registry fix for that.
This is pretty hilarious, because I am familiar with these systems, and the correct way to bypass the kiosk mode application is to open the little drawer at the bottom of the self check-in station, and hit Alt+F4 on the little keyboard.

Then you can plug in a USB key and do whatever you want.

There is no need for distro wars here. What works for you is not necessarily what works for someone else, and none of them are _literally_ the best OS ever. Just because Debian and family have been around for a long time, doesn't mean they're outdated - and believe me it's not personal bias: I choose Arch for myself.
Exactly this. Vulkan, especially Vulkan 1.0, was never really meant directly for graphics developers. It was meant specifically for engine developers that didn't want to have to deal with buggy and inconsistent drivers, e.g. Nvidia vs AMD vs crappy Android phones.

The solution Vulkan came up with was "make everything as explicit and user-controlled as possible", and leave "implementing a more user friendly driver" up to user-space, so that it could be tweaked by users, wouldn't be tied to driver updates users would never do, would be consistent across platforms, etc.

Except that never really happened. There are some graphics-driver-as-a-library projects (daxa, nabla, etc), but none with a large amount of community support.

Meanwhile GPU's evolved over time (AMD RDNA1, Nvidia Turing, Intel Arc, Apple Silicon), and it turns out that some of the choices Vulkan 1.0 bet on weren't great (explicit extensive pipeline state, binding model, render passes).

Vulkan 1.2/1.3 cleaned up a lot of this (dynamic state, descriptor indexing, sync v2), which also happens to improve ergonomics a lot to the point that it's much less painful to use Vulkan directly nowadays, as long as you're ok dropping support for older platforms.
They should probably stop following Apple then. What makes sense for Apple doesn’t necessarily make sense for Microsoft and vice versa because they’re different companies.

I don’t even like Windows but definitely a solid advantage for customers was if Microsoft put out a release you didn’t want, you skipped it and maybe got the next one and that would be the signal to Microsoft “oh, damn, customers didn’t like this one”. Now it just reeks of desperation trying to force all their customers to upgrade to a release they don’t want, even if it is free.
Without a vertically integrated environment, it's a race to the bottom.

I cannot recommend any non-Apple laptop these days. They are all total shit for run-of-the-mill consumers.

If you're tech inclined you can probably wipe and reinstall windows on a Lenovo thinkpad and come out _okay_, _maybe_.
It was an open platform. In those days, you were getting a set of printed manuals including schematics of the machine when you bought one. It created an ecosystem of clones and expansion hardware. PC-DOS/MS-DOS provided an easy path to port CP-M software.
I had tinnitus? for several years, which might have been some kind of TMJ thing or pinched nerve. I recently wore an ALF appliance to fix sleep apnea and to correct a twisted bite from maybe sleeping on headgear on one side as a child, and thankfully the ringing went away. It sounded like the whine after an explosion in movies:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VePV-gsNBNc

I feel like maybe the brain fills in the missing frequencies from damaged hair cells or pinched nerves and hallucinates the sound. Like in this Coke can red-cyan color illusion:

https://www.reddit.com/r/opticalillusions/comments/1cc8cwp/c...

Reddit regrettably makes it hard to link directly to images, so here's one you can zoom yourself with command/control +/- for proof:

https://gagadget.com/en/446542-a-photo-of-a-coca-cola-can-th...

Maybe a hearing aid could be set up to amplify the frequencies near the whine and dampen the rest. Kind of like adding cyan to the can so that it no longer appears red. Or removing cyan from the surrounding image.

I just tried doing a deep dive on how hair cells work, but I'm just seeing a bunch of research papers. It mainly says that they don't grow back after dying. I thought that the frequency they detected was based on their location in the cochlea, but it sounds like they have a random distribution of resonant frequencies instead.

Maybe gene therapy could be used to increase or re-roll the hair cell randomness so that other cells could take over for the missing ones. Or maybe a drug could make them grow or shrink slightly at random to change their resonant frequencies, like how eating biotin makes your hair grow.

Knowing nothing about this, I wish there was a way for people who geek out on stuff to be able to solve a bunch of random problems and make rent, like in a think tank. I get so bored and tired of working on the same old CRUD apps day after day as tech gets more marginalized with ever-increasing workload for the same pay.
Wait so lack of legal security reduced supply... by what mechanism? How do you think this works?
> P4 and core2 are basically worthless but HP P4 and Core2 systems? No one wants that trash.

Nobody wants post-Fiorina HP computers. But I recently sold several Core 2 IBM/Lenovo laptops, for significant money, because people love those. Last night, I ordered a part to polish up the final one on hand, to sell for $200+.
The real real Copy of final_2024_last solution is, of course, to make the BIOS chip twice as big as it needs to be, and flash the other half, then atomically change which is selected.
This was amusing. I appreciate the spirit of entrepreneurial innovation but one look at the entire group of employees and owner of this business gives a strong indication of how their mediation might go...
Part of that core competency is promotion isn't it? A part of that used to be posters to put in the lobby of a movie theater advertising what was coming soon. Much later home media needed a cover for the boxes. If I search for the movie on another amazon property I'd expect to see that poster.
Yes, unless you are under warranty or there is a critical patch release.
This habit emerged since the 'strategic' merge with Micro Focus. I think they are, in fact, in charge with all software side of HPE.

Just curious.

Is there any person whose living standard your aspiring to living to (dead or alive)? I like studying anyone other find worth studying.

One thing I can't copy from Nassim is the way he attacks people on social media.

You don't have to follow anyone's work 100%. I take what I find useful & ditch what I don't like.

But the core concepts he shares have been very illuminating and become more important as I age.

I like Elon's approach to business for example. But I wouldn't want 10 kids and several divorces.

I like many rappers. But I can never willing live even 1% of thier lifestyle.

Take want you want ditch what you don't like.
That's right. You have a prefix that lets you use page up page down in any pane you've got currently selected.
My desktop has a 16-core Threadripper 1st Gen and I have zero reason to upgrade the hardware outside of "Microsoft refuses to let me upgrade the software".

Yes, I know you can force an unsupported upgrade, but I'm absolutely waiting for the other shoe to drop. Microsoft absolutely will start deactivating Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, mark my words.

Why?

It's simple: Windows 11 exists to force you to buy new hardware. While Windows is technically a retail product, nobody buys it. That's why they dropped the charade of upgrade copies and made Windows 10 a free update. Everyone buys Windows with their PC anyway, so the only way Microsoft gets more money out of Windows is if they make people upgrade their PCs more often so they buy more OEM licenses.

We've already seen with the whole local account debacle[0] and Edge[1] that Microsoft will do anything to users if they think they'll make a buck somewhere down the line. I could totally see Microsoft just saying the quiet part out loud, changing their EULA to make running Windows on unsupported hardware a form of piracy.

[0] To be clear, I like Microsoft account sign-in.

[1] Man, I remember when Edge came out. It was actually good but needed some polish. Then they switched to Chromium and somehow enshittified it more.

The "real" HP still lives on as its spinoffs that do "real" engineering: HPE servers, Agilent oscilloscopes, Broadcom optical sensors, Philips heartrate monitors.

The consumer facing brand of HP (printers, laptops, etc) is bottom of the barrel Chinesium, same as Philips.

Amusingly, I would do an appeal to a word you already used. :D I was treating this as a bit of a moot debate. Discussing it as much for interests in the general discussion.

My impression from something said elsewhere was that this was largely for internal tools. I'm not sure why I got that impression, though.

I think it is fair, btw, that I would be pushing for both paths, at this point? If a long standing network policy rule has become obsolete from advance, it is worth considering dropping it? Is that not something people are looking at?

(I will also note that I will not be at all offended if you drop out from lack of interest here. Apologies if you feel I was wasting your time!)
YMMV.

- When you are in school, money is more valuable than time.

- After graduating and starting your career, time is more valuable than money.

- Don't scrimp on your mental health and physical health. Sometimes, you just need to re-energize and do absolutely nothing.

- Keep only one credit card. You can have backup card, but don't use it. Pay the credit card off every month and don't carry a balance.

- For the average person, cars and automobiles are an endless financial headache. Buy a reliable car that doesn't break down. People who buy expensive cars to show off are throwing their money in the dust bin.

- Take advantage of your employer's 401K match. It is literally free money. Put it all in an index fund that mirrors the S&P500 for example.

- Buying a house is the American dream, however beware of some of the gotchas. Be careful of HOA dues which can be expensive. Also beware of expensive repairs to HVAC, foundations, and roofs. Also watch out for issues your realtor will never tell you, like potential flooding and (lack of) cellular/internet providers in your area. Also most Home Warranties are worthless.

- Once you have children, you should buy term-life insurance policy in case you die. I bought a 50 year term-life policy that is independent of my employer and the monthly payment amount is locked in.
Not holding my breath for that hallucinated cure for cancer then.
I really liked my old 2013-era HP Elitebook, but honestly every other HP laptop I've come into contact with (and I used to see a lot at the laptop repair shop I worked at) has just sucked.

I suspect TSLA is about to have another run here in the next year or so.
Race to the bottom. No reputation of quality => can’t raise price => cutting costs beyond the red line => mishaps => no reputation of quality => …

Cf Apple who charge an arm and a leg for anything above the base config (which admittedly is tight but still usable) because people trust them to not pull such dumb moves.
Most importantly, you need to get interfaces right. The right interface that allows the caller to express their underlying intent allows you to rewrite bits of the implementation as-needed without forcing a rewrite from your downstream consumers.
And Instagram had 800 million in 2017 (the last year with data on Wikipedia). Other searches and sites have numbers well over a billion users. I don't see how Cara is at all a threat or significant at the moment.
I don't think so! But tmux is really useful for laptop scenarios, like when the laptop goes to sleep, or if you're working on a train and it goes through a tunnel with no network reception.
Until such laws are instated -if they ever are - then "theft" is very much an answer .

I'm sure smarter people than me here can come up with a good number of examples where you would agree that "condoning theft" is a good thing. Such ethical problems are never black and white.
Show HN: Reagent – graph based framework for building AI agent with UI
Hey HN! I'm excited to share Reagent, an open source Javascript framework to build UI rich AI agents using graph based workflow.

Github: https://github.com/reagentai/reagent

There are already amazing tools for building agents but most of them seem to be focused on building the AI workflow on the backend with markdown as final output. There is generative UI in AI SDK from vercel but it seems to work only with server components afaik. So, I created a framework for building AI agents with interactive UI components; you can render any component from LLM tool, update it's state, etc.

This is a graph based framework. You can build AI agents simply by binding inputs and outputs from one node to another and you can even visualize the agent graph that's auto-generated for your agent.

If you are building AI agents in JS, I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback in the comments!

Notepad++ ...There are alternatives, but none that save the current session (including unsaved files). The best option was to run it through Wine, but that seems overkill for a notepad style app.

And thats my beef every time I switch to Linux, I come back to Windows because the apps in Windows are there and it just works. I used Linux Mint for a year, but it was a lot of finding similar but not quite as good apps as what I would use on Windows.
I'll believe Apple is taking smart home seriously when it

A. Stops assigning my 2018 HomePods as the home hub, which they are incapable of doing as they cannot act as Thread routers, so whenever they get elected to lead the reliability of scene changes and automations go down the tubes.

B. Rewrite/redesign the Home app to not be a colossal pile of garbage. It's awful on the iPhone, worse on the iPad, barely functional on the Watch, and a complete joke on the Mac.

Introducing speculator taxes and then making it more attractive to be a speculator (landlord) just means that speculators pass the speculator taxes on to renters.

Sounds like they worked through it, so docking was successful. I imagine that much like SpaceX in a similar situation, there are lessons learned that will be applied to the next iteration.
