I was using Core 2 Duo just fine as daily drivers with Linux until a year ago. I upgraded for different reasons.

With 8GB RAM, they will run 3 separate Web browsers at once, still using only a minority of the RAM, and are just fine with pretty much any Web site.

(Maybe it helped to be using uBlock Origin, which reduces both page load bulk, and also eliminates some very invasive behavioral spying that can be resource-heavy.)

One of the ~10 Core 2 ThinkPads I recently I sold went to a business involved with used science lab equipment. The rest of the sales seemed to be for probably personal use.

I think academic research is becoming very inefficient, and traditional Academia might eventually become stagnant. If you don't play the game I described above, it is really hard to stay afloat. I guess industrial labs, where incentives are better aligned, might become more attractive. I have seen lots of prominent scientists moving into industrial labs recently, which would be something hard to imagine even a few years back.

I do the Kagi Ultimate thing which proxies over to ChatGPT and Claude and the like.

Kagi has always said it was privacy-focused, so I am actually curious if there's privacy associated with the AI chatbots as well? I don't think it can be completely private because if nothing else they're paying at a per-request level right?
I think this scene does add something, which is showing how scary this environment is to droids as R2 and C3pO are walking in. It shows it quickly, efficiently, without having to use dialogue on it. It takes ~15 seconds, and also has the fun side-effect of being a cute easter egg to anyone who went to star tours.

I think it's a rare example of a good easter egg because it still communicates something important to the scene without just feeling like it's there for a nod or reference.

The access was intentional. The botch was presumably an error, but that doesn't matter. What matters is the "authorization" issue. Was HP authorized to access the computer? Probably. Were they authorized to damage the computer? No. There's room for legal argument.

CFAA: intentionally accesses a protected computer without authorization, and as a result of such conduct, causes damage and loss.

The point is that fighting this is a lose-lose for HP. Either HP has to argue in court that they have a contractual right to brick your computer, or they have to make you happy enough to drop the case.

I switched jobs to a small startup, and could choose the laptop model for the first time

Bought the latest generation HP Elitebook G11 to try something else than Lenovo that had crappy trackpads due to the nibble

It has been a disaster in terms of software/BIOS:
* The mic cut off my voice when I was speaking all the time
* The CPU clocked down to ~300 MHz and got stuck there
* External display would not work if I disconnected, came back 30-60 min later, and reconnected. Had to hibernate inbetween
* The display would suddenly dim and be impossible to change

I think all these issues resolved itself with some firmware update released last week, and today I discovered there's an "HP Audio Control" app that by default is set to "conference mode" and "AI noise reduction"

Now I only need to get the built-in 5G modem to work

I think perhaps you miss the difference between ordering from the vendor and having stock in the marketplace. The first is just a promise, which everyone learned had little value during chipaggedon. It turns out vendors have all sorts of interests which affect which customers they prioritize stock for in the event that a shortage is anticipated, and most of us aren't on the list. Stock in the distribution marketplace means that not only does the quantity really exist, but it has been in demand long enough that the distribution chain has decided to buffer additional volume. This means there's volume moving and you can to a much greater extent than a vendor promise actually count on it being available and the price representative (rather than promotional, temporary, or highly subject to fluctuation). In general, you also get your stock quicker. I hope that clarifies.

Or the owners of those 100k units that are just left to rot can accept that their "investment" can't (and shouldn't) make them money faster than inflation, and lower the asking price.

The scenario you describe only exists because the number of "investors" buying up properties to flip and turn a profit vastly outnumbers the number people looking to buy their personal residence, and have the skills and disposition to fix it up themselves.

And judging by the build quality of a lot of flipped properties, the investors don't have the skills or disposition either.
Found this https://www.space.com/spacex-dragon-international-space-stat...

Which was a problem, but it was a backup in case of a leak that broke, it had 0 effect and it was a cargo mission not a people mission. Starliner's failure today did have a significant mission effect and had people.

SpaceX had a bunch of rocket landing failures on real missions, but that didn't matter because landing was a bonus, basically nobody had done that before and everything was just fine if a rocket blew up trying to land.

SpaceX has also done a bunch of test launches with new vehicles, this also doesn't matter if they fail, they're specifically launched to find failures instead of expending tons of engineering effort which is more expensive than blowing up test rockets.

Those things are quite separate from "there's people on board and several thrusters broke requiring unexpected manual pilot intervention", this was not expecting or allowing for failure by design but a serious anomaly that has to be researched how the problems weren't caught in human certification.
We had a local 'VC' club that raised money for investment. Had dinners where they considered pitches, talked them over.

After two years, no investment. They preferred to meet for dinner, than commit their money. Just a social club.

How many of those are there? How many millions locked up in supposed investment funds?

> encrypted sessions (and/or EK cert verification) without PIN are not much more then obfuscation

this is completely incorrect, encrypted sessions defeat TPM interposers when there is a factory burned-in processor side secret to use. lol at being just "obfuscation" because you can spend $5m to decap and fetch the key then put the processor back into working order for the attack.

that just requires a vertically integrated device instead of a consumer part-swappable PC.
They did not manually pilot the docking. They demonstrated manual piloting outside the 200m keepout sphere. This was a planned test but they wound up counting manual testing the problematic thrusters as that test.

The previous Starliner flight that actually docked with the ISS had two thrusters out as well so this was not totally unexpected.
Why though? Khronos doesn't have the best record of API design and there's plenty of other projects that are much higher level and simpler to use for a newbie developer. You can scroll just a bit up and see just how many webdevs end up using webgpu which is closer to the abstraction they prefer.
That's why they're called test pilots. They're not putting the general public into spacecraft.

FWIW, like many previous astronauts, both crew members are US Navy test pilots. They've literally made a career out of solving complex problems and navigating ultra-sticky situations.
No.

If you build a robust budget and spend within that, you will have an 800 score. Do that. Do it intentionally.

Credit agencies evaluate risk, so even if you can stomach that $1200/mo car payment on your $50k/yr job. You are gonna take a hit for making a stupid financial decision, because even if you make those payments, you are almost certainly teetering on the edge to do it. (never mind that your score was probably already bad given the thought process to take on that loan).

Banks don't want to loan to people who are lucky and always somehow pull it out. They want to loan to people who are smart and reliable. Credit agencies try to filter for that.

I went Adobe-less a few years ago; can't recommend Affinity enough. [1]

I know there's some concern since Canva bought Affinity a couple of months ago, assuming they're going to turn the Affinity suite into a subscription product. I don't share those concerns; Affinity huge rise in popularity is because it's not a subscription like Adobe's core offering.

>I was using Core 2 Duo just fine as daily drivers

Eh, everyone has a different subjective definition of what "just fine" means.

In case of an emergency I guess could make do for a little while with one, but I came back once to my old Core 2 Quad system out of nostalgia and while it does works cand can do things, compared to my newish Ryzen laptop the difference when browsing the web and multitasking is absolutely night and day, but the day is on Pluto.

Once you get used to a modern fast machine with 8 cores at 5GHz and NVME ssd, I just could never imagine going back to a core 2 duo and spinning rust machine today, Linux or not. The difference is staggering.

>With 8GB RAM

That definitely makes a difference, but it's a bit disingenuous, since stuff like 8GB RAM or SSDs were not the standard for Core 2 Duo machines though. Most of those machines you'll find in the wild tend to have more like 1-4GB RAM and spinning rust. That's really tough to daily drive.
The vast majority of the weight however is oxidizer which you could theoretically eliminate since the rocket is surrounded with various amounts of oxygen depending on launch trajectory.

A scramjet power first stage for example could overcome the tyranny of the rocket equation (at least on earth).
not missing anything, but it's just one of those things about how fast orbital speeds are. yes, i know orbital speeds are around 17,000 mph. this is just another example of just how fast that is. a lot of people might be familiar with falling objects speeding up to get to terminal velocity which is kind of a speed limit for normal things. for de-orbiting spacecraft, this is just another milestone of slow speeds to achieve and not a limit of how fast it goes.

sometimes just looking at things from a different perspective makes me smile on the relative nature of "fast"
Terminals and shells aren't like window managers where you can just subdivide your drawing space and pass a block pixels to something else to draw on.

What the terminal processes processing is a stream of bytes from the shell and needs to be able to interpret them in order to lay things out correctly.

Without making judgement myself, this is exactly what squatters, and those who support them, would consider a success story:
1. The house has wealthy owners who treat it as an investment
2. The house remains empty almost all of the time
3. Squatters occupy the residence and get more utility out of it than the owners
4. As a result, the owners sell the residence, maybe to someone who will live in it or rent it (but maybe not). The lives of the previous owners are largely unchanged.

I'm not exactly pro-squatting, but this isn't a very sympathetic story.
Solved problem for some but not for these end consumer laptops?
That's a good point, and I'm sometimes not really sure what I'm looking for. I don't want to live only in my liberal/progressive bubble, but I also don't want to see right-wing propaganda pieces.

I'm fine with partisan articles to some extent, but I do often just want deep, well-researched stories about what's happening in the world, without partisan slant. Granted, anyone who writes is going to bring their own biases to their journalism, no matter how much they try to avoid it.
Vulkan does not allocate GPU memory for you. Well, it gives you a big block, and then it's the problem of the caller to allocate little pieces from that. It's like "sbrk" in Linux/Unix, which gets memory from the OS. You usually don't use "sbrk" directly. Something like "malloc" is used on top of that.
But what about the cases where the PE firm asset strips the company, loads it up with debt and then walks as the company implodes and everyone loses their job? That seems to be the model of some PE firms. But maybe those are the ones that mostly make the news. I would certainly hope they aren't all predatory vulture capitalists.

The function of test pilots is to validate things that can only be validated by manual flight testing, like aircraft handling characteristics—not to risk their lives to do QA.
I have over an 800 score and never paid before the due date. They tell you the balance due ("Last statement Balance") and the date it is due on. Every card will let you schedule the payment for the due date.

They also won't knock you if you are a few days late. I have been late a handful of times before and never took a hit. They will also reimburse the late fee if you call, but obviously they won't do this often.
My wild hair theory is that it could be due to sleeping with a fan on every night. Looking back, it seems like I always had a box fan, oscillating fan, or ceiling fan running at night. So that's 8 hours of auditory exposure to the same constant frequencies, every night for many years.

That's a laughable argument, comparable to Italian fascists claiming Romania as the legacy of the Roman empire. Israel is built majority on refugees, and secondly on colonizers who hold a tenuous connection to the land. But you don't get to claim 2000 year old grievances, especially if your supposed ancestors share as much genetic material with the current inhabitants. Political zionism always had fascist components, but it really turned for the worst in the last 40 years, and I truly do not understand how an educated individual cannot see the parallels to the rise of fascism 100 years ago or apartheid South Africa 40 years ago. The post-holocaust refugees at least at large had the decency to recognize the injustice they put on the palestinians, but their children turned to a maximalist, fascist, and deeply dishonest ideology instead.

First, Dr. Ken Berry has not had his medical license revoked.

Second, Dr. Shawn Baker got involved in a dispute with a hospital system because he began curing people through the carnivore diet rather than through extremely expensive surgery (he is an orthopedic surgeon). This led to the hospital system losing a lot of money. They insisted that he stop curing people, but Dr. Baker refused. They retaliated against him by getting a fraudulent fellow to badmouth his work and get his license revoked. He then went to court and won and his name was cleared completely.

As for your claim that there is no evidence to back up the fact that humans were healthier before 12,000 years ago, what about the fact that they were taller and had fewer dental caries and larger brains? Also, my point was not that humans were healthier then (although they were) but that the carnivore diet was the diet that human beings literally evolved on.
Keyword search is a big win for eReaders. (This is a bit ironic in a discussion of _Pale Fire_ where the trad index is a big part of the game.)

The US is 7.3 if you use the same dataset as France. The wiki puts in 8.3 because they have updated data for the US, but not for France.

There are also some differences in data methodology US vs European countries, and when checked the rates from a different source (it was a while ago, I'll have to try to dig it up) the US came out better by comparison.

I think the difference had to do with what counted as a KM traveled.

Yes - the CFAA as a criminal issue requires "mens rea", the intention to commit a crime. Very few laws (such as involuntary manslaughter) have exceptions to this.

If you break someone's shit by accident, they can still sue you, and people should probably sue HP, but you can't try to have a prosecutor bring them to a criminal trial under the CFAA.

Visual stimuli in the edge of my field of view really distracts me - if I'm looking at a pair of computer monitors I want any movement or blinking that I'm not expecting to be in the center of my field of view so I can quickly dismiss it. If it's at the edge of my field of view it (i.e. at the top or bottom of my screen) when I focus on it I'll be looking further away from my active work and it is more likely to drop me out of focus.
I tried what you said in the most realistic simulator we have, Kerbal Space Program, assuming like you that a gentler approach would be better. And I learned that no, that most certainly is not better.

What you need to protect is on the inside of the heat shield. Heat conduction is based on temperature difference and time[1] and the conduction of the material[2]. Since the heat shield tiles have a very low thermal conductivity, it takes a long time for significant heat to pass through.

Yes a more aggressive approach will lead to a greater temperature, but it'll also provide significantly greater drag, thus the the extreme temperatures only exist for a relatively short amount of time, and thus it doesn't have time to pass through the tiles and heat up the inside.

A very shallow approach has significantly less drag, and you spend significantly longer slowing down. The temperatures might be a fair bit less, but the much longer time spent decelerating means it has a chance to make it through the heat shield tiles.

It's not entirely unlike iron meteorites which can still be cold when landing, as they only spend a brief time in the atmosphere[3] and thus don't have time to heat up.
