Ask HN: How to charge a battery outside of a laptop?
How can one charge a battery that is outside of the laptop it came in? It appears the charging circuit in the laptop is dead, but it still runs on the battery. It would be nice to use it by just charging the battery externally.
The AAG in Vung Tau is active.

It's the AAE-1 (Vung Tau), TGN-IA (Vung Tau), and APG (Da Nang) that are down.

Also, this happens all the time to VN because the southern portion of that Sea has heavy traffic from freight shippers, oil drilling vessels, fishing fleets, and ofc naval deployments. If you're ever flying from HK to ASEAN over the SCS on a clear day, it's a treat seeing all the ships relatively jam packed as far as the eye can see.

Saigon Port and neighboring Vung Tau Port are themselves the busiest and 3rd busiest ports in VN. Most likely a freighter hit a single point of failure.

VN has relatively few (5) undersea internet cables for the size of market it is (eg. Thailand has 8 cables, PH has 17, Myanmar has 4, Cambodia 3) and most are newish (last 15 years), but there are like 3-4 new undersea cable projects that should come online within the next year.

Edit: AAE-1 has been down for months now because the MV Rubymar was hit by a Houthi missile and sank in the Red Sea cutting that and multiple other cables.

In reality it's most likely a freighter that cut the TGN-IA and APG.

A well-written article. On a similar theme of essential vs. accidental complexity: FWIW, I summarised a talk gave by Paolo Bonzini (a Linux/KVM/QEMU maintainer) here in the past:

https://lwn.net/Articles/872321/ -- A QEMU case study in grappling with software complexity

Although it was in context of QEMU, the lessons from it can be applied to many other projects.

It's always easier to play these types of games than it is to actually perform innovation. So while competition is not necessary for growth, it clearly often helps.

There's another way I like to think about what you said: cutting fat. If cutting fat is the easiest way to get stock price up (on a quarterly evaluation) then that's probably what most people will do. But how frequently can you cut fat before you start cutting limbs? The more effectively you did it previously (or the person before you) the less you have available to you. Not to mention that some fat is necessary for big businesses. I suspect this is connected to the trend of enshitification we see.

> "I keep the money pipe flowing and did not actively make it worse" does not get you a promotion.

It's actually quite sad that it doesn't. Or that the money pipe flowing is by far the main metric used for evaluation. Especially when the market is cornered. Your strategy should change when your environment does. I just wonder what these people are doing with this money and why they want it so much. $1bn is essentially unspendable. But we see 200 people with 10x that and 15 people with 100x that. I just don't get why they care anymore. But I guess people really care about points?
It's going to happen again with digital. You just won't know which parts you'll miss. It won't be street walking, it won't be selfies, it might be your home with boring videos of you cooking or looking in the fridge. No one records that anymore, but we used to with video tapes.

I have a feeling we will really miss supermarket and retail interior footage with people actually shopping.
One bit, but it's a bit of the underlying signal layer which has a 1-2% redundancy over the actual data. PCIe 2.0 and earlier encode 8b data in 10b signal. 3.0 to 5.0 encode 128b data in 130b signal. 6.0 and 7.0 do a more complicated thing: https://pcisig.com/blog/pcie%C2%AE-60-specification-webinar-...

Also the speed is per lane, eg an x8 slot / port / device is called that because it has 8 lanes, which all transfer in parallel.

While AIs are able to keep more in their “mind” at the same time than humans, there is still a cost to consider (e.g. token limit). If software requires more effort to change (adding a feature, fixing a bug) due to spaghetti architecture, then that will also add to the cost.

Secondly, we may want to keep software on a complexity level understandable by humans, in order to not become completely dependent on the software engineering AIs.

Thirdly, the same effect that we observe with software written by humans getting to complex to understand by any human, is likely to also occur with AIs of any given capacity. AIs will have to take care, just like humans have to, that the complexity doesn’t grow to exceed their abilities to maintain the software. The old adage “Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.” probably also applies to AIs.

The essential complexity of software doesn’t depend on whether a human or an AI writes it. AIs may be able to handle more accidental complexity, but it’s unclear if that is an actual benefit under the cost arguments mentioned above. So maybe it will only be useful to create and maintain software with more essential complexity than humans can handle. The question is if we want to depend on such software.
Is there any hint of the legal system accepting that?

They certainly don’t accept “locks are law” or “finders keepers.”

This gets a lot right as far as what made Qanon attractive. What it misses is that personal loyalty to Trump is the common element to all of Qanon.

I kind of doubt that loyalty was the motivating factor in the original push to get believers, but I do think the influencers and later "bakers" guided the Qanons in that direction later, and that's why the current Republican party is soaked in Qanon beliefs. Qanons took it over.

Edge compute requires field IT for servicing. You can hire 3-4 employees for the price of a single field service specialist.

Servicing industrial edge compute is insanely expensive for B&M businesses. This is a big part of why so many companies have spent the last decade offloading everything humanly possible to public cloud workloads.

It's still a decentralized market, it's one with a single issuer, as many buyers as want cards, and as many sellers as wish to sell. Much like, for instance, Magic the Gathering. Not a lot of point in selling rare playing cards when they aren't rare, so sure, you could set up a token contract where anyone can issue as many "cards" with whatever properties they'd like. But that wouldn't produce a fun game.

I've personally never been drawn to the rare collectible genre of game, but they're quite popular, one of the services offered is balancing rarity and power. People who like these games enjoy the lottery aspect of buying a sight-unseen pack, opening it, and hoping to score a rare card, they like participating in an aftermarket, and they like putting together decks which other people don't have. All of which can be auditably provided using a blockchain, without having to check for counterfeits, and with players able to confirm that a card is actually scarce just by examining the state of the contract.

There are two reasons not to just make it a centralized system. One I addressed in another comment, the other is that with a decentralized system, it's possible to get the same properties as a physical collectible playing card game.

Namely: the creators control the properties of cards, how many are issued, and enjoy the profits of the first sale. But after that sale, the cards/token belong to whomever purchased them, and that person can sell them to whomever they like.

It's also possible to attach royalties to additional sales, or even retain the right to destroy tokens, but I would advise against this on business grounds, since those decisions would be unpopular ones for customers and players.

Of course, a centralized system would allow the issuers to confiscate the assets at any time, or forbid their transfer, or change the arrangement so that people are lured in with the premise that they can freely resell their cards, and then impose some cut of the resale price ex post facto. Plus if the company goes out of business, and shuts down the database and servers, that's the end of all that, your supposedly scarce bits are now useless.

So if your definition of losing control involves not being able to abuse your customers in that way, I can see why a centralized database might be preferable.

If it doesn't, then a centralized database is clearly inferior in every way that matters, for this application. Of course, someone starting with a thesis that blockchains are useless by definition, is going to begin with the conclusion, and work their way backward looking for reasons that conclusion is true.
Reading this is truly harrowing. It makes me also realize how truly deplorable Putin is for constantly threatening to recreate such a situation for his own personal gain. Seems to me that people like him haven't read this persons account of what it was like.

What this thread and the tiktok thread really showed me is how many Chinese bots there are on HN.
The only scopes using frequency mixing are the LeCroy scopes over 33 GHz and these have been commercial failures.

All the other scopes on the market use time interleaving (time multiplexing) which has much better characteristics but requires that the ASICs have much higher Ft, which requires a significant capital investment.

Sampling scopes are not actually that much cheaper now a days, especially after you take into account the cost of the clock recovery device that you would need to build a proper eye with a sampling scope (I discussed this further in other parts of this thread).
There are vast hundreds of millions to billions of people who don't watch the news and don't read books, get their information from social media and rumors, and don't know about authoritative primary sources or critical thinking.

Ok, well - in my cultural background, that sort of symbology is typically associated with scams, unsavoury types, and sexual exploitation. This pretension that life can be explained with magical patterns is fundamentally anti-intellectual and prone to appeal to fools.

Huh? You can absolutely have long in-depth discussions with a blackout drunk person about their current experiences. Are you claiming there’s some level of inebriation where you become a p-zombie?

Of course, there’s also ’incoherently drunk’ which is getting closer to that.

@ch4s3 is making some pretty strong claims here and there, for which I do not see the evidence either.

François Chollet says LLMs do not learn in-context. But Geoff Hinton says LLMs' few-shot learning compares quite favorably with people!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWWgr2rN45o&t=46m20s

The truth is in the middle, I think. They learn in-context, but not as well as humans.

The approach in the article hides the unreliability of current LLMs by generating thousands of programs, and still the results aren't human-level. (This is impressive work though -- I'm not criticizing it.)

Zachtronics (https://www.zachtronics.com/) is amazing, but their games are lower level programming. You're typically designing hardware or writing assembly. I haven't played them all, but I can vouch for last call BBS (design hardware), exapunks (software controlling bots), shenzen i/o (you design hardware and write the assembly to power it), and tis-100 (writing assembly for a distributed, cluster of processors).

It sounds a lot more intimidating than reality. The puzzles start off easy enough that you can ramp into the difficulty., and they usually have many different possible solutions. You can "win" with easy solutions, and then later revisit them and try to produce the "best" solution. (Often pretty difficult).

To be fair, I did come at them from somewhat of a background in hardware, but my son also loved them (with no such background).

Marvell was recentlty showing off a a PCIe 6.0 Alaska-P retimer that's good for pcb, copper cable, & optical interconnect. Doesn't include optical transceivers but does show the growing interest in optical PCIe. https://www.servethehome.com/marvell-extending-pcie-gen6-rea...

Right now optical seems exotic & expensive but we seem near a severe tipping point. Copper keeps facing increasingly channeling signal integrity challenges, requiring expensive & energy consuming retimers. Meanwhile we think we can keep scaling optical down, integrating silicon photonics, getting increasingly lower pJ/b energy costs. Without the range & signal integrity issues. Not super duper deep but this 2 year old Cadence blog post goes into it, and it seems indeed to be where things are heading. https://community.cadence.com/cadence_blogs_8/b/breakfast-by...
Stomach cancer apparently.
Yes, but not in the ways you think. Humans can do about as good a job as a computer in understanding poor audio quality in context, but the compute needed for the latter, in realtime, is pretty substantial.

As the commenter says below, a human can intervene in many more ways when equipment malfunctions or customers have special needs that an AI just gets blocked by.

There are literally hundreds of edge cases where a voice powered drive through just stops working, from high winds to pouring rain, to thick accents, broken equipment, out of stock or seasonal items not available. Just a few of the ones I encountered personally in the wild tagging 15,000+ orders.
About 750 million people are entirely illiterate as well (in any language). I think the actual number may be higher because I’ve worked with a surprising number of them across global oilfields.

There's so much alpha that can be pieced together from here, ex. the last couple Google papers use the 1M context to do *500-shot*, i.e. 500 question answer examples. IIRC most recent showed raising travelling-salesman problem solve rate from 3 to 35%.

What Ces11 said.
> I think many people start to internalize the cost of their time as their income rises. You don't think about it expliclity, but if you are making $100/hr, is spending 20+ minutes to save $20 really worth both the time AND hassle? I mean maybe. At $200/hr is it still worth it? Probably not.

I think this is only true if you'd otherwise be working and making that $200/hr. For most of us, the opportunity cost of our time is nowhere near our working wage. If I would otherwise be horsing around watching TV or playing video games, then the opportunity cost of my time is zero and it's worth it to spend time on these things.

If I can show that my credit card was charged $1.50 more than the check said (maybe they transposed some number on the tip or whatever), I lose nothing by bringing it up with the restaurant and getting it corrected. Especially if I was already planning on eating there again--just bring the previous bill along next time I go--I'm not even wasting gas because I'm already going there. I mean, sure, I could just ignore it but $1.50 is $1.50.
I was able to get around Adobe's cancellation fees by switching my subscription to the cheapest subscription option they had, then cancelling that subscription (which, for whatever reason, didn't have cancellation fees most likely because I was a "new" subscriber).
So I guess what this makes me wonder is: Why are we using electrical signals to connect the data lanes between components and computers these days, rather than moving everything to optical for data movement (obviously power would stay electrical, but that's already on separate lines)? I assume there's an element of cost, and once the photons get where they're going they have to be turned back into electrical signals to actually be used until such time as we get around to getting pure light based computers working (someday but not yet...), but that must not overwhelm the advantages or we wouldn't be looking at this being developed.
I have a saying: "any sufficiently advanced agent is indistinguishable from a DSL"

If I'm really leaning into multi-tool use for anything resembling a mutation, then I'd like to see an execution plan first. In my experience, asking an AI to code up a script that calls some functions with the same signature as tools and then executing that script actually ends up being more accurate than asking it to internalize its algorithm. Plus, I can audit it before I run it. This is effectively the same as asking it to "think step by step."

I like the idea of Command R+ but multitool feels like barking up the wrong tree. Maybe my use cases are too myopic.
Einstein, infamously, couldn't really make much progress with quantum physics, even though he invented the precursors (ex. Brownian motion). Your world model is hard to update.
