I'm a big fan of used Surface Go models. They tend to be for corporate use which seems to have a knock on effect of them being sold off very cheaply when people want rid and with seemingly minimal use. For use when traveling they're pretty exceptional, I even managed to get away doing a few days dev work on one while railing around Japan

Have gotten multiple people a Surface Go 1 with 8GB ram and the keyboard and have never paid more than £80.
Bizarre that they even made a 4GB model, let alone that they kept it until the second most recent version

Yes but with the controller built in and hardware hardening.

They are designed precisely to prevent this kind of attack.

I bet most of the exploits used by these boxes have nothing to do with the secure element but just bypass security using exploits in standard system or USB code. Most phones will be captured with the OS running but just the UI locked, with all encrypted volumes already mounted.
> Some system BIOS are removing the option to even disable modern standby mode

The CPU manufacturers have stopped providing support for developing firmware with an S3 (“traditional standby”) function for recent CPU generations, except for a couple of laptop manufacturers receiving special treatment.

My professor for Compilers 101 in grad school tasked us with working on an Ada subset compiler. I work best alone, but he insisted on making me work on a team. My experience with "teams" in college was a couple of us doing the work, and others claiming, "We worked on the organizational aspects and wrote some tests, so we didn't have much time for meetings or coding." Anyway, punster that I am, I told the prof that our team was the "NOOPs" (we spelled it differently back then).

So my group's project was writing the VM in C, and only two of us contributed as predicted. Our VM passed the prof's test suite (actually written by our adversary, "Team Lambda", IIRC). So I have a "It all started with a NOOP" story too.

This prof really was a genius himself and an expert in his field. He introduced many of us to the wisdom of Knuth. Our professor once recounted a story about having written an earnest letter to Knuth asking, "I know you are busy, but do you have time to do a lecture on compilers for my class?" He received back in the mail the original letter and envelope, enclosed in another with the "I know you are busy" underlined. My puns are kind of dumb, so I'm not sure he ever understood what I meant. He did ask us what our individual contributions were, and proof there of. My teammate followed me to State U.'s security headquarters begging for some of my test cases.

Have a nice day everyone!
> AMD seems to be stuck in this mentality, just as IBM is.

And that's why creative destruction is essential for technological progress. It's common for organizations to get stuck in stable-but-suboptimal social equilibria: everyone knows there's a problem but nobody can fix it. The only way out is to make a new organization and let the old one die.
This should work much better than it does. Microsoft is right - Windows machines should be able to run background services as well as a tablet or phone.

Their Modern Standby requirements should have included a clause saying that the machines efficiency core (which I assume is what would be running in standby) should not be able to raise the temperature enough to require a fan.

This is exactly how imgur started. It was a reddit user, providing a service for fellow redditors. I am not being snarky. As others have said, media hosting can never really be free.
> My big question is, I don't understand why the oil companies haven't gotten on board. Why aren't we seeing more and more L3 chargers at gas stations?

That will come. This is already happening in the EU. The US is just lagging the rest of the world a bit here with EV adoption and charging infrastructure.

But if you think about it: what happens when you remove 40% of the demand for petrol and diesel from the market? Because that's what happens when those driving the most and the furthest switch to electric: they stop buying lots of petrol and diesel. And early adopters tend to be the ones driving the most. So, demand takes a big hit fairy early in the transition.

What happens is very simple: petrol and diesel stations start losing a lot of business. Until they realize that they have the perfect locations for charging and that people will want to buy from their shops and restaurants while they are charging. So, of course they are going to adapt in a hurry and invest in charging infrastructure as this starts happening.

Long term, petrol and diesel are going to be a minor side hustle for rapid charging stations where most of the revenues come from people waiting for their vehicles to charge buying snacks, refreshments, and other stuff.
This sounds different to potty-training, which is where the child knows that they need to wee or poo and tells you or goes straight to the potty to do it. "Abhalten" sounds like the parent training to know rather than the child.
What's your opinion of the copy machine polygraph scene from the opening of The Wire's final season?
Whenever I had to explain a case like this to a customer, there would be photos attached to the case that I could email the customer. Photos would show findings during attempted repair and why it was decided it was damage.
If the Mac was sent to an Apple owned Repair Center or Apple Store, why not call Apple Support, right away ask to speak to a supervisor, that will get you to someone who can lookup photos and send them to you.
If the repair center is third party, maybe speak to them directly.
If you believe intent does not matter and is unrelated to human worth, then we are at an inherently impassible disagreement as to the nature of human society and will never agree on this issue. My belief is that this point of view, as well as others (like Nihilism, as mentioned) are fundamentally destructive to human society, which likely clarifies why you don't see a problem with what I and others believe is an existential threat to said society.
At least sometimes, yes. WV’s charger network (“electrify America”) is notorious for perennially broken chargers, and when the government announced the next round of subsidies was contingent on the chargers actually working then suddenly WV got serious about maintenance.
This is great advice but mostly ineffectual without addressing the root of the problem here. Phone apps are designed to be addicting, and that addiction has been socially normalized (I.e. it's totallly normal to momentarily zone out and browse Instagram on your phone while out with friends).

In the same manner through which legal protection for various other matters have come about. By raising awareness, sharing thoughts and solutions, and organizing.
The machine isn't waking from sleep, it's that the standby processing is intensive enough and the hardware is so poorly designed that the computer heats up which requires the fan to run.

> When Modern Standby-capable systems enter sleep, the system is still in S0 (a fully running state, ready and able to do work). Desktop apps are stopped by the Desktop Activity Moderator (DAM); however, background tasks from Microsoft Store apps are permitted to do work. In connected standby, the network is still active, and users can receive events such as VoIP calls in a Windows store app. While VoIP calls coming in over Wi-Fi wouldn’t be available in disconnected standby, real-time events such as reminders or a Bluetooth device syncing can still happen.

You won’t find any argument to the contrary from me. (Although I would nitpick that you could relax some of those points in certain circumstances. For example you may not necessarily need or want to have your OOB backups of your wiki encrypted if you variously don’t have credential-type secrets in it, or have satisfactory enough physical safeguards for your use case. But we could probably argue that kind of nuance back and forth for eternity.)

It’s just that it’s fairly common to see such circular dependencies.

I’ve seen many sitiations where one team just assumes that another team is looking after these things and that “it’s someone else’s responsibility” or some such. I am certainly not defending that.

Plenty of teams see things like backup as something that is somewhere else in the stack. Plenty of executives just assume their technologists are baking these capabilities into product. A lot of junior people haven’t really been given a solid education on these areas and it’s not uncommon to see newer-to-career people making basic mistakes like conflating synchronization and backup, or geo-redundancy with wholesale BCDR.
The point is not to extract truth, it's to extract behavior. It's the fact you can convince a judge or jury to take the evidence as evidence of truth that's a problem.
>Sure, it made sense when we had almost no forensics (and that's the times that shaped our legal systems) but today we do, don't we?

The CSI effect. The amount of forensics that people think will be presented in an average case is so much more than actually are. Finding and collecting usable fingerprints, DNA, shoe imprints, etc. does not happen in every case. Most cases are a lot of circumstantial evidence all pointing to the same person.
In fairness to AMD, they bet on crypto, and nvidia bet on AI. Crypto was the right short term bet.

Also, ignoring is a strong word: I’m staring at a little << $1000, silent 53 watt mini-PC with an AMD SoC. It has an NPU comparable to an M1. In a few months, with the ryzen 9000 series, NPUs for devices of its class will bump from 16 tops to 50 tops.

I’m pretty sure the linux taint bit is off, and everything just worked out of the box.
I'm Bootstrapping My AI Interviewer B2B AI SaaS – Coding Using ChatGPT
Hey,

I am Harshith - a complete non code growth marketer - but using ChatGPT to code my SaaS - I've been trying to apply for accelerators and VC funds - but surprise...surprise - no one gives a fk about my product or me - to even get an intro call.

But...I have previously exited an AI SaaS in Dec 2023 - not Silicon Valley money - but ann exit in thousands..

Right now working on zavata.ai - an AI Interviewer that automates scheduling and interviewing candidates making it faster and cheaper to hire great talent.

I did get backlash from candidates when I posted on reddt...

you can check out my website: zavata.ai and the dashboard too: app.zavata.ai
Still a work in progress - but i keep getting stuck in some critical stuff - like Websockets and OpenAI Integration etc.

Any help is appreciated.

If you wanna give brutal non biased hard core feedback - I'm open to it here: harshith@zavata.ai
I agree that micropayments would be incredibly desirable. If an acceptable system came around to accomplish that, I'd use it pretty heavily (as a customer).

But if it involves cryptocurrency, I'm out.
Connected Standby has worked on my devices for a decade. When I plug in my laptop to my dock in the office and it wakes up, it comes on pretty much instantly. Its already on the WiFi, which it joined when I walked in the building. My email has already synced. My chat has already synced before I even log in.

It has been doing this just fine since Windows 8 came out across multiple Thinkpads, Surface tablets, and other devices.

Even pre-Windows 8, sleep has generally worked perfectly fine for me. I'd have my computer on sleep between classes, open it up and pretty much instantly be right back in OneNote ready to take notes. Cheap Compaq laptops, expensive HP laptops, IBM Thinkpads, Lenovo Thinkpads, Surface tablets, no-name cheap Walmart laptops, all kinds of devices. In the last almost 20 years I've had less than a dozen instances of a hot bag running XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, now 11.

I had issues with sleep on some desktops in the past, where it wouldn't want to stay in sleep. Every time it was some dumb app waking up the machine. Never due to some specific Windows issue, always something I installed.
Would you like to elaborate on this?

I'd like to distinguish between "fully autonomous luxury doomsday" scenarios, where it's just the AI and some robots and no humans in the loop, vs "accelerationist" scenarios where humans are in the loop and are choosing to be complicit in whatever happens because they believe they will benefit from it. Because we can't solve the human alignment problem.
If you want page aligned memory for SIMD, you shouldn't be using malloc, you should be using mmap. Though other smaller alignments can be useful.
Does Chrome do anything equivalent to Firefox's "Enhanced Tracking Protection"?

Chrome forces extensions to use "Manifest v3" rather than "v2", which cripples some ad-blockers; in particular, the full version of uBlock Origin will run on Firefox but not on Chrome. (I'm not sure of the details about the v2->v3 migration; maybe that isn't universally true yet. If not, it will be soon.)

"Reduces" and "evaporates" are not the same thing. I see the case for the former, not for the latter.
This. An ex girlfriend would get really mad at me because I wanted to make frequent breaks in museums. I wish we had known about Museum Fatigue.
lol tell that to the 3 year old laptop with 64 GB of RAM that I use exclusively for local LLMs while dev’ing on my work laptop with 96 GB of RAM…
I don't see what benefit the distinction brings. The meaning is inherently identical to the meaning of sexual assault. The fact there's a legal distinction is irrelevant to the meaning of the words themselves. I'm not referring to a legal concept when I use the word "rape" and the legal definition—for polities that even have one—is irrelevant.
FWIW I had similar problems with my X1, sleep on lid close was working about 50% of the time (which is probably worse than not working at all, because you genuinely don't know what is going to happen...).

As a quick fix I assigned Ctrl-Meta-L to Sleep (Meta-L is screen lock - I'm using KDE btw). It didn't take long for me to automatically press this combo before closing the lid - I got so much used to it that I had stop stop and think when I got a new laptop later and installed linux fresh on it. And of course I just set it up like before, even though this one works :)

That’s twice as much power as a US 120V 15A receptacle

.8*120*15 = 1440w vs 230*13 = 2990w

You can only use 80% of a load on a breaker in the US, AFAIK UK receptacles are fused which allows using 100% of the listed device ampacity instead of 80%. I could be wrong about that last part though.
Admittedly I think it’s really hard to piece apart all of the different conservative coalitions.

There are vocal Republican influencers who talk about ending no fault divorce, ending the department of education banning abortion, ending social security, Medicare and Medicaid, more conservatives on the Supreme Court so certainly it could be bad if certain coalitions got their way.

And yet, I think power is distributed enough in America I don’t think too much of it can be dismantled. I think too many billionaires benefit from big government for the billionaires who benefit from small government to dismantle.

But I do think Republicans will deregulate the economy in a way that will put us on a crash course to another financial crisis. And the people who will really suffer will be the poor not the rich.

The other point I will make about a Republican presidency is that 1: people deify Trump and 2: Trump has made lots of promises to people who fundamentally disagree with each other. So there’s going to be lots of conflict in a Trump presidency, what will the people whose promises were broke do, especially those people who see Trump as a god? Will Trump turn on his working class MAGA base to make the billionaires who donated to him happy? I think he just might.
Do tell more... does it have to do with hyperspecialization, not being able to get fluent in a large enough proportion of the field as was the case in Euler's time, say?
Yeah on my current nvme linux systems, swap is just "the phase where the ongoing leak makes the system kind of sluggish, shortly before the oom killer goes to work". On 32GB, I ~never hit swap "legitimately".

The most useful thing honestly has been a memory usage applet in the task bar. Memory leaks usually have a very clean and visible signature that provides a few seconds of warning to hit alt-tab-tab-ctrl-c.
For whatever it's worth, I enjoy explaining things to others so each time a topic recurs I can do that where it seems appropriate. And hey I can pass on things I didn't know about and then learned here, for example that's why I tell people about WUFFS, can you do all the bounds checking at compile time? Sure, for a price. And that price (generality) might be easily affordable in which case using Rust, never mind C++ is very silly because WUFFS was offering you better performance and total safety if you can do without generality.
> Your point about punctuality is begging for a response about how "punctuality is racist" looks dumb on the surface but belies a deeper point about polychronic cultures that has a lot of legitimate merit to it.

Two points:

1. I think this is indeed a very valid and important topic, that humans would benefit from (being able to[1]) take seriously (something along these lines, I am approximating, of course).

2. Your concern, at least in part, seems to be ~racism, and presumably that racism is unjustified, that the perceived underlying problems are imaginary. But then you mentioned culture. Culture exists, and is not very far removed from race. To be clear(!): this is not a promotion of delusional behavior, like: racism, culturalism, anti-racism, anti-culturalism, etc, I'm more so pointing out that "right thinking" on these matters is not correct, and that even the good people have heads full of silly and dangerous ideas.

[1] Imho the real problem here is less that it isn't taken seriously than the much broader problem that humans seem essentially unable to control what they take seriously, or their "seriousness service". And this isn't the only service they essentially have no control over.

There being some limits and some improvable stuff doesn't mean the whole domain is doomed or broken and isn't huge, or even infinite.

Yes, but this still allows infinitely many "temperature" scales. I.e. take the current definition of temperature, and apply any nondecreasing function to it.
> Lobbyists are made up of teams of lawyers and subject matter experts too.

With very different goals.

> In a democracy you’re allowed to do that, in the technocratic system described above you wouldn’t be.

No; in the partially technocratic system I describe - regulatory agency writing regulations based on the goals and authorities the legislature assigns them - the people can vote for lawmakers who a) confirm the President's nominees to run those agencies and b) write new laws adjusting any edge cases where they feel the regulator has conflicted with their intent.

That's the Chevron setup, that has worked quite well in a lot of realms. It's now being disassembled in favor of less democratic setup, where similarly unelected bureaucrats (Federal judges - with lifetime tenure!) and usually zero domain knowledge make the calls.

Sounds like the people can be upset with their government if they wanted that feature. I don’t see how that’s Apple’s problem, other than needing to restrict it based on location.

If they want to take shots (which I doubt they would do… too risky), it could come up with a message that says the feature has been blocked by the Chinese government, so it’s clear to the user what is happening and why.
I see nothing in that article that supports your claim, other than LG will sniff your network if you explicitly give it a network connection. Additionally, the LG TV has to go through an AV receiver and the Apple TV before it finds an Ethernet port. There is no doing it “sneakily” if the other devices don’t cooperate, and they don’t. On top of everything else, there is no traffic on my network that gives me cause for concern, I looked. On top of all that, think about the cost of implementing this versus the odds of there being a device on the other end of that HDMI cable that supports such functionality (very low).

In the end, it would appear that you are mixing a little bit of truth with a whole lot of urban legend.
