I buy every Pi and try to run MechWarrior 2 in dosbox and they've all fallen short. I also have a Surface Go 2 (bought used for $80) w/ 4GB of memory + Pentium Gold and it runs flawlessly.

Relatedly- I find that old hardware is still very capable but ruined by new media codecs that lack HW acceleration. Are the new codecs really worth it when they essentially render whole generations obsolete for media?
(not your OP) This is true, but I find that metrics are useful whether something is going wrong or not (metrics that show 100% success are useful in determining baselines and what "normal" is), whereas collecting traces _when nothing is going wrong_ is not useful -- it's just taking up space and ingress, and thus costing me money.

My typical approach in the past has been to use metrics to determine when something is going wrong, then enable either tracing or logs (usually logs) to determine exactly what is breaking. For a dev or team that is highly connected to their software, simply knowing what was recently released is enough to zero in on problems without relying upon tracing.

Traces can be useful, but they're expensive relative to metrics, even if sampled at a very low rate.
And for professionals.
Then why bother? I'm sorry, but where did this meek, defeatist attitude come from? It pervades software now. Sure, you're right, I guess I could get hit by a bus today, but that won't stop me from crossing the street, because there are a lot of things I can do to minimize my risk, like looking both ways, listening, and crossing at a signal. Software is similar. "Nothing means anything, all is chaos" might poll well on Reddit, but it's not good engineering.
Thank you for those kind words and Happy Father’s Day to you!
Not only are they very different in price, the micro PC is 10x the size. Size doesn't matter for all uses, but there are going to be things where a Pi will fit but these micro PCs won't.
Yes, management consultancies are not hired because anyone expects them to know what they're doing.

But they are hired for a certain specific kind of "expertise" they uniquely possess — that being the internal knowledge about management decisions being made in other companies (perhaps with their guidance; or perhaps just with them there at the time to witness those decisions.)

In other words, management consultancies can tell you how to "copy the success" of companies you personally think are worth copying, provided the management consultancy you hire has records of their consultants working at that company. (You won't actually be "copying their success", because you'll be applying your mental schema of what would make for success to deciding which of their internal practices and decisions should be copied. So it's more a "cargo-culting of success." But executives still want that!)

A CEO won't trust the thinking of a fresh 20-year-old sent over by Bain. But they will trust the thinking of a CEO they admire. And they're willing to pay big bucks just for Bain to send them the 20-year-old rather than Bain's best, not only because the 20-year-old is a political tool; but also because the 20-year-old is a channel through which the CEO can tap into Bain's institutional memory of private leadership meetings held by their most-admired CEOs!

(And this creates an active transmission vector for the spread of business-management-theory memes. "Return To Office"? It may have started because a few bigcorps like Apple had big albatross investments of commercial real-estate in the form of massive HQ buildings. But it spread throughout the Fortune 500 via their shared reliance on the management-consultancy grapevine.)

Management consultancies know that this is half the reason companies hire them — or at least the consultants who've been around the block know this. And this is why there's any place at all for senior management consultants, rather than it being strictly a "get in, make your money, retire early" sort of job. It's not that the senior consultants know more about business. It's that their field experience has enabled them to internalize and distill the current corporate zeitgeist — and so they can just tell you off the top of their heads what you should be doing to be the management-theory equivalent of "fashionable." (And this doesn't look outwardly any different than the "best practices" advice the 20-year-old will give you based on what they learned in their MBA program. So there's plausible deniability in this, in a way there isn't in asking the 20-year-old to dredge up records from your competitors.)
Merriam Webster literally lists "kind" as one of the definitions of nice.

The point is that nice is a pretty broad term. It can mean agreeable but that's merely one use of the word. You can be nice and not agreeable.

Still that doesn't make it better in practice. Spotify is able to predict average age from listening behaviour. I was recommend the 'Dad's music' playlist last week :)

They know your age, and they could use that for something positive.

> IMO I think we're doomed to move the goalposts on intelligence for a while

I'm old enough to remember back when we thought language was the defining element of intelligence. Dogs can't talk - dogs aren't intelligent.

Now LLMs can talk, and we've shifted intelligence to mean animal intelligence - being able to predict the motion of a falling ball, wanting to protect your children, etc.

Some people truly cannot tolerate the idea that our intelligence/existence isn't magical, so they'll desperately move it again and again and again... forever. Watch.

> scientific understanding of the nature of animals was based on folklore

Popular, pre- or proto- scientific understanding perhaps, but not scientific understanding per se.

> despite a couple centuries of assuming that animals are pure instinct-driven automatons, we have tons of evidence that they are individuals with intelligence, memory, feelings, preferences and even language

These things are not mutually exclusive. The words "intelligence", "memory", "feelings", "preferences" and "language" can refer to purely automatic/mechanical processes, even when we're speaking in reference to humans. There's no real reason why we need non-mechanistic magic to explain the human experience. The two ideas are compatible: animals are conscious, and humans are "just" really complex machines. It's all the same stuff, viewed from different lenses.

> The assumptions of the recent centuries weren't so much anthropocentric

They were, and they still are. Folklore itself is for the most part very anthropocentric.

As someone who voted my 180 shares against the package, I'm wondering what the appeal was.

As I see it, at this point, Elon has become toxic to the Tesla brand. Nobody has a "I bought it before I knew the CEO was a dick" bumper sticker on the back of a Chevrolet. Going forward, how many people who thought of Teslas as cool and aspirational in 2019, and are now ready to make the EV leap, are shopping Ford and Hyundai instead because of his embarrassing presence. This was a great way to try to flush him off of the brand.

I also suspect the EV market is enterring a new phase, and I believe it requires different management priorities and personalities. It's one thing to lead a startup into a largely greenfield market, but now the competition is established firms realizing "That 2030/2035/2040 ICE ban deadline isn't that far away, and we don't want to be holding the bag". We're no longer in the phase of visionaries flinging stuff at the wall to see what sticks, it's an increasingly established market where we should be acting based on understanding customer needs and tastes.

At a tech level, Tesla has a few years' edge on the broader market, particularly with regards to established supply chains and charging networks, but I worry they're not using that lead time to build a moat in areas regular consumers care about. The Cybertruck is a blatant example-- it's hardly going to poach F-150 Lightning buyers-- but their broad fit-and-finish issues and the tendency to be treating cars like a software product with regular patches are things that are tolerable for the early-adopter crowd, but no longer resonate when they're one brand among many.

Don't tell me about self-driving or robotaxis. Tell me how you're going to make sure the 2034 Model 3 is going to out-compete the inevitable Civic and Corolla EVs.

Glad to see that kindness is finally going viral.

I'm Gen X, raised feral like the rest. Movies like The Lost Boys, The Goonies and Explorers feel like biographies. We were vicious to one another before the arrival of political correctness in the early 90s, which received backlash like today's woke. But kindness is always on the right side of history.

I agree though about feeling like some kind of crass <expletive> around young people today. I have a hard time staying domesticated as I watch society crumble under the guise of gentrification. I just want to act out so badly sometimes, deface something, watch it all burn like the good old days, SLC Punk style. But the real punk is to be ruthlessly human to one another.

There's a certain thrill in sacrificing one's ego to help someone achieve their dreams that just can't be replaced. The biggest baddasses are teachers, nurses, your mom, and everyone knows it.

You make reasonable points about the things they lack today. Without them, people are doing what they can.

That said, I suspect what you're trying to address here isn't ability but improvement.
The human attitude towards our relationship with animals cannot be described as anything other than anthropocentric for the vast majority of people. Whether the origin of that attitude is due to the rejection of certain traditions assuming animals to be sacred or the adoption of traditions treating humans as sacred, it exists, and causes horrific mistreatment of animals on a global scale.
What do you use them for? I'm one of those that have Raspberry Pi 5 mostly just for Home Assistant. It's clearly overpowered for that use case, but I wanted the NVMe support.

Based on the standard definition of consciousness, no one is conscious but me.
The evidence: animals exhibit numerous behaviors that resemble our emotional responses in various ways. Anyone who has ever had a pet dog or a cat will have countless anecdotes.

The explanation with the fewest moving parts is that our brain and hormonal systems look an awful lot like the brain and hormonal systems of a cat or a dog and therefore the simplest explanation is that cats and dogs have emotions and thought patterns that resemble ours in very meaningful ways.

The actual scientific explanations that people tend to put forward (as discussed in TFA) revolve around us projecting our own thoughts and emotions onto the animals. To me that seems substantially less rational than just believing that similar neurological structures produce similar neurological results.

Of course one can obfuscate and secure their own SSH access as much or as little as they want. Run sshd on a different port, require port knocking, ban IPs after failed login attempts, all that kind of stuff.

You know what bike lasts forever? Friction shift. I first noticed this in college. There would be new bikes and then really old bikes that had friction shifters. Hardly any maybe 10-20 year old bikes interestingly. All you really need to do for friction shift bikes are tires brakes and lube. You don’t really need to fuss with adjusting the derailer since theres no indexing you just move it with your lever until its in gear, wherever that may be. Plus you can get an entire friction shift bike in working order for like $50 sometimes.

Ever since Darwin, the scientific view has been descent with modification. We're all branches of the same phylogenetic tree, and many of those branches are very close to us, such as other mammals. We have topologically similar digestive, immune, circulatory, respiratory, nervous, and reproductive systems. While there are important differences between, say, the foods that a cat and a human can digest, the differences in how the overall system works are small compared to the similarities.

Therefore, it's a reasonable starting guess that humans and closely-related animals would have many structural similarities in their mental experience, although with some differences. It tilts the balance towards needing evidence that other animals are not conscious, rather than needing evidence that they are.

And when we look for evidence, we see intelligence even in branches as far away from us as crows and octopuses, suggesting that maybe consciousness (which we guess might correlate with intelligence) has deep roots in that tree, or else emerges independently quite easily.

I wrote a post on my (deleted) blog back in 2022, and in it I documented some of the issues I ran into with the Raspberry pi 4 when I was building a media pc that I bolted onto the back of a TV.

Briefly, the Pi absolutely sucked in a bunch of ways compared to the MeLE Quieter 3Q that replaced it.

1. Pi couldn't use USB 7.1 audio device in the mode I needed (7.1 out + line in). No idea why, but Linux totally froze up when I selected that mode, and remained frozen until I physically unplugged the usb device. On the same USB device this worked fine on other computers. This meant that I couldn't use my external Bluetooth receiver seamlessly via the Pi.

2. YouTube failed in a bunch of ways. Seriously! Neither Chrome nor Firefox would work 100% reliably. Sound issues on most videos, awful performance, locking up the browser.

3. Can't be put to sleep or remotely started using Wake On LAN

4. Lacking sufficient hardware encoders/decoders

5. Everything goes through the USB bus, so you get awful storage/network performance

6. Can't use Wine to run windows apps. While this may not be an issue for many people it was for me because I wanted to use MusicBee. Wine works fine on the Pi if you've got ARM compatible windows apps. So good luck with that.

7. The hassle and cost of getting a decent case.

I ended up spending a few hundred bucks on the MeLe and everything just worked. Flawlessly. First time. And I had a wide-open choice of Linux distributions.
