> They basically give away the whole OS for free as long as you're willing to deal with some nag text and customization settings being disabled.

This is news to me. By nag text do you mean the "Windows not activated" overlay in the bottom right of the screen?

I've seen it before but not paid too much attention. Are the pro versions of Windows also for free with nag texts?
Not OP, but in my experience, it always takes more time than the time limit, either because they've just generally misjudged or because I spent the allotted time, did the case, and then through doing all the work came to some realizations about ways I could have done it better. Then I'm left with the option to either submit something that I know has flaws or spend more time updating it. I don't know about you, but I just hate submitting something that I feel is worse than my abilities, so I end up redoing it and spending much more time.
Do you have an estimate for their stable life? I don't have an intuition for it and am curious
This type of parallelism is sort of like a flops metric. Optimizing the amount of wall time the GPU is actually doing computation is just as important (if not more). There are some synchronization and pipelining tools in CUDA and Vulkan but they are scary at first glance.
"Soft" limits as guidelines are fine (although in my experience they are often completely unrealistic - e.g. set up a spring boot app with tests, CI config and kubernetes deployment, that implements API XY - all in 4h).

But a hard limit (you will get the assignment at X o'clock and you will have to turn it in within 3 hours) is just bonkers. It's totally unnecessary and artificial time pressure. Maybe I'm having a bad day and I make a silly mistake that takes time to fix - or the assignment is complicated and it takes me half an hour to even understand it and decide on an approach. Or I could implement the assignment in a maintainable way, but the time pressure requires me to do it in the most hacky way possible. Basically, I don't do my best work under time pressure, so I have no idea why you would impose it on me. In my professional experience, there's very rarely ever been any time pressure like that, so it's not like it measures something important.

There is plenty of historical accounts of socialists killing socialists.
> So, if there is any magical thinking, I claim that is rests on the side of those who claim, rather flippantly, that machines can think.

Implicit in this statement is the assumption that either A) Human beings can't think or B) Human beings are not machines. Which point of view do you take?

Also, if you're going to take the high ground on magical thinking it might be better to do so not when commenting on an article that plainly states: "The human mind is magic, or might as well be, and it is by this magic that we can defeat the AI."
$75,000 is waaaay beyond "reasonable" and "well optioned." I got my used Ford F-150 with about 220,000 miles for about $3,000, but there are plenty of actually reasonable trucks with good options in the $15,000-$30,000 range. And I'm definitely not immune to gas prices, I only take my truck when it's for something that I can't reasonably do in our Elantra, or when my wife is out somewhere in the Elatra and I need to drive somewhere.

The main issue is that you can give any guidelines you want but a ton of people will take "Don't spend more than 4 hours on this" with an implied nudge/nudge/wink/wink.

That said, as I wrote elsewhere, if you can't pull a reasonable version of a work product out of a folder, I may be asking you to create one. I'm not necessarily talking code but I absolutely am looking for some proof that you can do the work if it's not already in the wild.

Give me a break, they’re exporting oil and driving Teslas. Once a country has decarbonised they get to start going after the Norwegians. In the meantime, it’s throwing stones from a glass house.

>and you could never use a third party storage service with BW AFAIK

You can run your own BW server, or at least you could as of a few years ago. It's not well documented, but it was doable. The only reason I don't use BW is because the iOS app doesn't locally cache passwords, and I didn't want to open up my home network or set up a VPN just for a bitwarden server.
But its still completely orthogonal. I don't see how "the work [I] do" ... "enables trodden people to escape this tyranny"

Everything isn't politics and its ok to have a space where arguments about identity and politics aren't constantly surfaced.
The idea of living in a can floating in space, while conceptually cool, just does not seem like an appealing lifestyle to me. They also seem very fragile. One explosion, pebble-sized meteorite, failed life-support system or out of control ship could rip a hole in the structure and kill everyone on board. I'd much prefer a planet where there could be some degree of freedom.
Wikipedia has a reference manual which describes this scenario[1]. Lynn was prominently and publicly known for her post-transition work - though her IBM achievements are included, they are the minority of her career's work. She wasn't in the public eye at the time, so her former name is considered a privacy interest & not eligible for publishing to Wikipedia. If a person is notable & in the public eye before transitioning, their former names are then eligible to be listed.

Took them way too long.

I recently replaced my broken phone with the S24 Ultra with DeX as one of the main uses-cases. I've read and watched a fair amount on whether it can be a daily driver, unfortunately most of the content was basically made just to create content, and it was geared towards content creators.

I'm planning to test this out over the next few weeks. Can I have it replace my personal laptop? After much research prior to buying, it seems there's a good chance this should be possible with the likes of Termux and Termux-X11.

If everyone has any thoughts or experience around this, I'd love to hear it.
>Yet another by the way is that it's worth mentioning Egypt refused to let aid through the Rafah border crossing once Israel took the Palestinian side of it just because it refused to deal with Israel on this matter.

Has the current Regime cooperated with any country or organisation in a truthful and transparent manner? Besides Gaza is on the Mediterranean coast, with a port that is much older than the State of Israel. It didn't need anyone else's support, if there was not a complete blockade for two decades. Even in raging war, humanitarian assistance has been delivered in geographical points that are hard to reach.

For what it's worth, I'm near 40 and have never once seen anybody at any work place wear a suit (who wasn't giving a speech at a town hall).

There is nothing wrong with wearing a suit, and it may be common in some workplaces/cultures, but in others it can be corollary to a work culture you are not compatible with.
What's this "office space" you're talking about? :)

But seriously, we'd fail 1, 3 (we've never had anything like badges to wear), 4 (some of it is old, not too much us worn out though - chairs get replaced, desks are pushing 25 or more now), 5 (every one, including receptionist has multiple monitors but they're standard 300dpi), 6 (depends what you mean by old), probably 7 as well as most folk are remote now.

I’m responding to you here because they flagged another post that you made a comment on. It was about the autoimmune diseases. I have no idea why they flagged that post are there than I wrote the article and I posted it as well.

It was interesting to read the feedback with one person saying that because I am not a doctor. I can’t learn anything.

And I appreciate what you’re saying here about mental illness because what you’re saying is true. If you go to my Substack, I’m going to talk more about how I use my genetics to discover the cause of my mental illness and how I’m using food to cure it as well as all the other disorders that came along with my mental illness.

People have a hard time with creative intelligence and unlearning dogma that’s been taught to them for years. I was hoping in hacker news people would be more open-minded but now I’m seeing that’s not the case.

oh, sure, they can produce microplastics after you take the food out. but you aren't going to get plastic dust in your lettuce

the most common plastics used in packaging are pet, polypropylene, and polyethylene, which have exceptional elongation at break. when you scratch them, you don't produce microplastics; you produce a burr on the surface
I understand, but given the dramatic change I'd expect some things to "bend" a little. Perhaps literally, like solar flares? Does "holding them closer" increase/decrease surface temperature?

I loved the idea of the phone as the portable compute that could be expanded to act like a desktop that Motorola showed back in the mid 2010s. I forget the name of the actual phone though, it had pogo pins on the side/back and a keyboard + screen combo you could dock it to to get a laptop adjacent experience.
Nonsense, I'd much rather drive a Tacoma but my F-150 was far cheaper. My ultimate preference would be a more modern (and safer) version of those Japanese trucks a lot of people import, but that's a legal/political issue. My super ultimate preference is a Hilux with a .50 cal mounted in the bed but I can't get the CIA to fund my organization yet.
My trusty old 2017 Galaxy S8 had this feature.

Of course only thing it did was to repeat what's on the main screen but nevertheless it was there.
Not having a democratically-elected government overthrown by a global superpower because of their location sounds an awful lot like luck. Especially when the superpower in question has a habit of doing so.

There's probably more to it. The USA is powerful, but it's not infinitely powerful. The same strong institutions that have kept Norway from falling to the resource curse have likely contributed to its ability to maintain its autonomy with soft power. If Norway's government turned into a revolving door of corrupt dictators, it's likely the USA would have a different approach for dealing with the country.
At least in that case they probably need to pay (some of) that into the multiple patent pools for HEVC. It's the corporate centipede of microtransactions.

HEVC is a garbage fire from a rights/patent perspective.
> any work you do is intertwined with politics.

That simply is not true. Apolitical topics do exist, and it is incredibly annoying when people try to force politics into an apolitical topic (looking at you, Rust community).
You can do way more than that. Android can run web servers on-device; I can code and edit my PHP website on an Apache/Nginx/Lighttpd local server, and push changes to production server. All without opening Termux.

If you have Termux, you can do even more, like run a VM for a sandbox dev environment. No cloud required.

Android in desktop mode is far more useful and less locked down than Chromebook. As usual, Samsung has led the way in making yet another Android feature viable, as Google tries to catch up 7 years later.
Same way i solved it as an adult who needs to wake himself up for work.

Similar experiences where i wake up on the floor bc i must have rolled out of bed over to my phone in my sleep.
Also nice: a throw in Swift is like a return! It is setting the exception in a specific register and then returns.
The ‘throws’ signature indicates to the caller two things: the user needs to use some exception handling, and the callsite needs to handle the special return register in case it is filled with an exception

This way you do not need to do expensive stack walking

The HP engineers were good.

First HP engineers made RPL, then they attended Sussman and Abelson's intro to CS class. I think Sussman once said that, if RPL had anonymous functions it'd be a perfect lisp.

They were real good.

My guess is it just doesn't fit their style. Some people want more formal clothes in the workplace and others would rather not have a dress code. Even then, just the interviewer wearing a suit doesn't necessarily mean it's a strict dress code culture, but probably a strong signal.

> what do others do with our information - and I think the best answer is the medical ethics answer - nothing unless it is in the individual’s best interests.

How is saving money not in an individual’s best interest?

You have person A who chooses to consume known carcinogens and excess carbohydrate, and person B who abstains from them and exercises control for their diet.

Why is it ethical for person B to have to subsidize person A?

Similarly, person A chooses to spend more money on less nutritious fast food meals, and person B makes quinoa salad at home and takes it to work. A lender may conclude person B exhibits behavior that indicates they have a lower probability of default, so why should person B have to subsidize person A’s lifestyle?

If the counter argument is that person A is poorer, had poorer parents, had a worse upbringing in a worse neighborhood with worse influences, then the correct way to subsidize person A is via government spending (cash, education, raising the floor on pay to quality of life at work ratios).
Fascinating overview, thanks!

>Pixel 6 Pro I got after that, I was distraught to learn that Pixels didn't support video-out at all

Since Google switched from Qualcomm to Samsung SoCs starting from the Pixel 6, they lost a lot of performance and cool features compared to previous Qualcom driven Pixels.

As much as I hate Qualcomm for being an evil foss hating patent troll, their SoCs were a cut above the competition on all fronts, and phones with their SoCs performed and aged better. Hence why phones with their SoCs were more sought after than the same models with Samsung SoCs.

Shame Google had to ditch them. I heard starting from pixel 10 they'll roll out their own SoCs based on their own design fabbed at TSMC.
Is your career over? Probably not.

But if you want to write Go, write go on your own time and use your day job to support your creative practice.

The more experience you have the more advantage there is to getting jobs through people you know, and the more disadvantage there is to looking to strangers for employment. Because looking for employment from strangers raises the legitimate question, "why doesn't this person have work through their professional network?"

The question is legitimate because of the circumstance you describe in your question...you are looking for work because you find yourself unwilling to work with other people. Sure, your personal reasons may be legitimate, but they are personal reasons not business reasons. At some level of seniority, there is an expectation that a person can put on their hipwaders and get through ordinary organizational sludge. Because that's the kind of person other senior people want to work with. Good luck.
Good news is that you can still have amazing places to yourself, at least in Asia. Vast majority of tourists flock to select few locations, the rule of thumb is if some place sounds familiar to you, it's overcrowded and has been for a while. You either need to do a little bit of research or just take a bike and ride a few kms

I visited Calcutta a few years ago (albeit during low season) and I have seen 2 (two) western tourists in a week. Last year I went to Arunachal Pradesh and met exactly zero western tourists in 10 days
Why is it that $BILLIONS is spent on this problem then, if it doesn't exist. I get that, yeah, management and execs only care about 3 KPIs but presumably people lower than them in the chain care about improving those KPIs and digging into the data helps you do that?

Frat bro vibes. Bragging about alcohol in the office, offering me liquor around 1pm, talking about how great every is to hang out with at the office late.

I don't think it's feasible to separate technology from the people themselves. What we do, in some way or the other touches people, real people, people with feelings, dreams and aspirations.

To ignore where such contributions to humanity come from, is to ignore a person's existence, their struggles and what makes them, well, them.

I recently stumbled on [1],

> I’m on the board overseeing Linux graphics. Half of us are trans.

which is a reminder that so many years later, the same issues, vitriol and discrimination that Lynn dealt with still plague us. What are we, if we can not show empathy to people who struggle with something as fundamental as their gender identity? Who are we to deny them the life they want to lead every day? Who are we to dehumanize others?

IIRC (I've never used ChromeOS, so this is from readings)

ChromeOS allows users to run Android apps, so the apps could theoretically be shared between both environments.

Of course I feel it's much more likely for Google to kill one (or both) of them off before they can hit their stride.
And even if it wasn’t a good idea, the fact that the person couldn’t be respectful when they’re trying to impress you the most is a very bad sign.
When my Pixel 6 Pro screen died, I could still hear the haptic feedback from button presses. So I plugged in a USB C to HDMI adapter, and I couldn't believe I couldn't see it on the screen! I needed to get access to my Google Authenticator (I had not saved the backup codes). That resulted in months of recovering accounts by taking my picture holding up handwritten signs and my ID. Of course I should have saved the backup codes, but it would have been really nice to have an alternate way to see my screen when my phone was otherwise still working.
This happens to be the exact one I tried. I'll probably try others in case there's one which happens to work better or be more comfortable (irritation of the nostrils at first was a real factor, took about a week to adjust), but with a hydrogen peroxide bath every few days they can last an arbitrarily long amount of time, so I haven't felt the need.
