There's absolutely nothing repairable about this computer. The motherboard is the entire computer. Only the storage can be replaced.

Do you plan to make computers which can actually be repaired? How exactly is the Framework Desktop any better than what Apple is doing with the Mac? I prefer to build my own machines. Why would I ever choose such a product which can't have parts replaced over something better which enables me to repair and upgrade my computer?

I ask because you were on "Buy now!" which also tackles greenwashing. I fail to see how this product is any better than all of the disposable junk sold by other companies (soldered RAM, soldered CPU, no PCI-E, no second NIC, no expandability of any kind).

Do you plan to sell products with PCI-E ports for dedicated GPUs and other devices?

Has Framework's customer support improved? Do you plan to do something about that? I've read countless posts from people who state they didn't receive a reply from Framework's customer support or that their hardware problems were never resolved. Why should a new customer trust your company?

It seems that the Framework Desktop 1st gen has a 4x PCI-E port. That's not exactly useful for a GPU. I've learned this after watching the LTT video.
Trump prepares to change US CHIPS Act conditions, sources say
>> And I don't think I disagree with the court on schema vs. file layouts either.

> I disagree that the law should prohibit disclosing "file layouts"

Note, the court wasn't ruling what the law should say, only what the law says. At least that's my understanding of it. I certainly wasn't opining on what the law should say.
Oh hey, that's me! Not surprised this guy went kind of insane tbh
Can you please clarify whether the fork also suffers from the same security issues (or engage the fork's owner to ensure that it doesn't https://github.com/t3dotgg/vsc-material-but-i-wont-sue-you)
State funded research is more competition for private companies. There is a clearly conflict of interest in all that is happening.
Relay now supports self hosting the collaboration server. It works with tailscale out of the box.

We still have a centralized service for authentication and authorization, but if you self host it is impossible for us to access your files.

Yep even with a small bump in performance (which we only saw for a subset of coding questions), it wouldn't be worth the huge latency penalty. Though that will surely go down over time.

Probably no. They are likely only documented in architectural design doc / spec etc which you surely do not want to share.
US president Roosevelt actually started the creation of the United Nations to avoid another world war. If we want to avoid another world war, more policing is needed, and Roosevelt thought the US was in a good position to do this. No amount of financial efficiency weighs up to not having freedom. What is the worth of your millions if your family is gassed in concentration camps? That’s why I also don’t mind the European Union not being super efficient, as long as it brings us peace it’s worth it.
Same here. The 12" Macbook Retina was just about the perfect laptop size and weight, just had not enough HP, and obviously not serviceable in the same way as Framework.

The 12" form factor tho..

>The future is expensive

Although upfront cost for city construction is probably negligible compared to the operating cost over the lifespan of the city. If you have even modest labour, infrastructure and service savings every year for decades to come building smarter probably pays off.
I didn't read it as aggressive, more like engaged in the discussion, he really wanted to get to the bottom of things and get his views and opinions challenged, but UB was a bit defensive and closed. Even though UB has strong opinions he wasn't as engaged in building a case for them, he just tried not to budge or maybe he conceded smaller points and then retreated to a less dogmatic stance.
Thanks for flagging it. Our security researchers will analize it and based on their findings we might remove this one as well.

It depends on how you do retrieval. If you just use dense embeddings for example you can get the latency of one search query down to maybe something like 400ms. In that case multiple sequential look ups would be ok but your embeddings need to be good enough of course
Some fan in my (late 90s) Taurus wagon was buried behind a bunch of stuff in the engine area and while we didn’t have to take out the whole block, it was still pretty dense and a lot had to move and come out to replace it. And that’s still relatively “simple” compared to today’s cars.

In comparison my 80’s Bronco II, I bought it from my neighbor for $300 and my dad told me I’d fix whatever broke myself if I could. Gave me a service manual that had schematics and layouts of just about every part of that car that was serviceable, and the book wasn’t even that thick considering what it detailed. I was able to pin out some repurposed Christmas lights for the dash in a pinch, and we tore down and rebuilt some component from under the hood ourselves though I don’t recall exactly what now.
I guess it depends on how many jobs you’ve had in the last 10 years. I’d only have 2 roles if I did that :)

I'm not sure I had the same issue, it is a different laptop, but it would not go to sleep. The current solution is to make it hybernate instead of sleep.
I'd say "economically viable" is not useful pharsing. It's of course economically viable to slow down the climate catastrophe as the costs will be so vast also economically (in addition to humanly, morally, etc) and we have the policy tools to do it. But it's a collective action problem and it needs a lot of international trade coordination and govenrment regulation.
I remember that in Mac OS X times, sometime between OS X v10.1 and 10.4, a system upgrade caused a bunch of unicode named files to become inaccessible/untouchable (but still present with a directory listing). At the time I didn't have the skills to figure out what had happened. I'm still curious to know if it was an intended breaking change.
This is a major blow to non-profit communities. Which also means that only for profit will make sense of maintaining such platforms, which in itself is contradictory to what the proposal of the this act is.

You are applying standards only to my comments. Your statements are just as "sweeping" and "silent". We're both just asserting stuff based on our experiences, but it only seems to be a problem when I do it. I'm doing my best to have a productive discussion, but I don't think it's possible under the circumstances.
Honestly paper, parchment and stone have a pretty bad record as a format. They either degrade or even if preserved can become unreadable (e.g. Linear B) without a surviving linguistic community. Even when the text survives and is rediscovered, translations produced with century-scale gaps often lose subtext or connotation that would still have registered across a narrower gap.

I'd suggest an unbroken chain of oral transmission...

Thanks for caring to respond, I didn't know that and was too skeptical to even google
Yeah I can't really tell why it's so challenging to find good levantine and Middle Eastern food in Europe (even in places with lots of Turkish and Arab immigrants). Turkish döner vs Arab shawarma is more of a matter of taste (the döner is fattier and the dairy based sauces make it even fattier which is not to my taste but is not objectively bad thing) but I don't get what's so hard it making it that you can't get good results outside its homelands.

At least in Germany I suspect it has something to do with Germans considering it cheap fast food and as such are very price sensitive - there's only so much you can do when you have to cut every expense as much as possible.
these guys are on fire! seriously, kudos to the deepseek team.
Yep. When I was playing around with Linux, it was pretty much “spend all the time in the world editing config files until things work.” It’s a much different ballgame when you can’t google your boot errors because the only thing that can connect to the internet won’t boot, even when it does you’ll have to futz around in kernel driver source code for your particular brand of external modem, and finally once you’re online Google doesn’t even exist but at least you don’t need it anymore!
This is tracked in this feature request https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/52116

We do not plan to add a permission model in the next 6 months.
I think effort is irrelevant. Value is what we really look at when deciding what price to pay. It doesn't matter to most people if it took someone a 1000 hours to produce a loaf of bread. They're not going to pay 100x the price of the bread that took 10 hours to produce. Especially, if the products are mostly indistinguishable.
Perplexity or Google or Grok?
The part about seeing the results immediately can be done easily ie via plugins in text editors like Notepad++. You have left pane with markdown text and right pane with rendered result, updated after each keystroke.

I've tried 2 different plugins, they are a bit finnicky re formatting (I do a lot of bullet points in my various todo lists and a small thing can break whole block of them) and output looks a bit different, but I still prefer them.

Heck, I often prefer reading markdown itself these days just for myself since the structure is already there and visible, I've learned to see those formatting characters as already sort of rendered formatting so not even looking into rendered pane that much.
Yeah of course you can't escape the general market risk, i'm only talking about a strategy to avoid net exposure to risk specific to the TSLA stock.
Now imagine using Devin on the boring bits! “I remember seeing this proved before but I can’t be bothered to go look it up again.” It’s easy to imagine an explosion of interesting results soon.

> Courts start by looking at the "plain meaning" of the words used, but where that doesn't yield an unambiguous answer they will often look at the overall scheme or purpose of the legislation to try and figure out which interpretation is most consistent with that.

There is also the concept of a "canon of construction", which exists specifically to handle these kinds of reoccurring grammatical issues. I'm surprised there isn't one for dangling modifiers.
> Right but the case that is being imagined here is a site that perfectly sanitises * but somehow still allows SQL injection? I don't think so.

It could literally just reject anything with asterisks.

It doesn't even need to do anything perfectly, it just needs to do it enough to produce hurdles for you. Like blowing through the number of attempts you realistically have remaining.
If part of the data is just a random number like a UUID that is meaningless to a human, well that number could simply be placed after the pixel-font text or as a rectangle outline...if using a 3x5 pixel font then that gives 4x5=20 bits per character cell, so a 128-bit UUID with 12 bits of overhead could fit within the space of 7 characters...fine...but at least put the parts of the info that the human can relate to (like that this a MENU for RESTAURANT) as pixel text so both the human and machine are happy.

We grew up with the internet being a fun place where fun things happen and you don't need to take it so seriously. It was the symbol of freedom.

Just to be clear, which publisher was banned? Maybe I'm being stupid (it's late here) but I'm struggling to track the various parties involved.

Anyway, thank you for the update.
All those other companies are just as amoral or problematic as Tesla and any Chinese manufacturer (and by extension their respective governments).

The only thing that differentiates them in my eyes is price relative to performance, and I buy accordingly.

Nowadays my email won't get past your spam filters unless I buy and warm up a reputable domain on a respectable IP address and adhere to the correct content standards. The precise rules for these aren't documented anywhere.

Funny enough, the ease of running a mail server and sending email back in the day is probably why it’s so scuffed these days. Email did hit a weird overcorrection though that never evened out, whereas everything else seemed to either standardize or die off (rip the days of telnet’ing into a random domain and being able to actually do things)
Following the Deepwater Horizon / Macondo incident, Obama used the phrase "British Petroleum" consistently, despite the company having been called "BP" since the 2000 rebrand post BP Amoco. It was a deliberate, and successful, tactic that drew attention away from criticism of the federal government and regulator, who had so clearly been captured by the industry.
Ask HN: How to keep up with developments in AI

> To me this is not particularly surprising

It's always easy to say this after the fact. The real question is whether you would have found this result particularly surprising before knowing about it. Probably yes, because the authors did exactly that test with safety researchers: https://x.com/OwainEvans_UK/status/1894436820068569387
I don't know your setup but in my opinion something like proxyman / mitmproxy or even Wireshark would be the better way to analyse this.
I tested quite often and never saw the leak with Qwant.
The Japanese figured this out already! We just say moshi-moshi when you start a phone call [1]. Originally it was believed ghosts couldn't say moshi-moshi (I can speak; I can speak). Now we can apply it to the ghosts in our machines. Who's gonna tell Openai? ;)

Hmm, I don't mean this negatively, but MCP is mentioned only in this thread and 2 comments up you say 'I thought about this a lot' and now you are convinced based on 2 people saying they would like it? Isn't standardising something people want always? And MCP seems to have easily won that 'battle' user wise -> what have you been thinking about exactly?

Interesting. I was a chef for 17 years, 11 in restaurants and 6 as a private yacht chef. How did you end up on Hacker News? For me, I found joy in opening new restaurants which is engineering and followed that path to software.
Please read it again, you might see it differently now.
And not a word about discoverability?

The web went the way it went because ultimately centralization wins both in terms economics and discoverability. You host your blog (or rather "blog") on Facebook for free and get a chance to be discovered by strangers, for better or worse.

Not saying it's necessarily a good thing, because now you are at a mercy of corporate censorship that isn't even required to abide by the users' constitutional rights and freedoms. They can limit your speech in any way they like and it's what they do: their platform, their rules.

On the other hand, without centralization the web is expensive and not very discoverable. Your standalone web site is like a cactus in the middle of a vast desert nobody cares about, in fact now at a mercy of Google's indexing policies.

There is no bottom line here. It's all about economy and capitalism, which seem to always win.
I am in European time and I do not know what happened on that post (since I was sleeping). I assume it were some heated arguments between maintainer and community about license/copyrights/open source maintenance.
Thank you! It's constructive, helps the people who are making things while giving them the benefit of the doubt, keeps users safe, and educate those who have enough technical understanding on the topic.
Well this seems nice and easy. Thank you for the example. There's local, Kubernetes and fly.io support for FLAME (that I found after short search). I envision running main Erlang VM on a light weight server continuously, and starting beefier machines for Python tasks as needed.
but we're laymen with no attempts to define what AGI means in concrete terms, nevermind remotely come to any agreement over it, so the manager and proper task scheduling is gonna have much more concrete and discreet task in the sprint in jira. it's not like there's just one ticket with a billion points or umptuple XL that says AGI. That's not even gonna be an epic with a million tickets. (or maybe it is. I don't work there, lol)

The people in the trenches there are working on tactical specific things and aren't going to be fired for meeting their internal KPIs which aren't nebulously AGI.

You need a lot of capital in order to acquire the domain experts. The main question, once you have the capital, is whether you can correctly identify an expert, and set them up to be functional/productive
Postfixes are easier to use, if you know how to use them. They're not only used in programming but also in spoken language:

It is how, in this sentence, the verb works.

It isn't how the verb works, in this sentence.

Sentences that simple are equally understandable using the verb as a postfix or infix. When sentences get longer that changes, though:

It is how, in this sentence, which now has an extra clause, the verb works.

It isn't how the verb works, in this sentence, which now has an extra clause.

In the first sentence, it's clear that the extra clause is something the sentence has, not the verb. The second example has what is called a dangling modifier, which is a clause at the end of the sentence that ambiguously could be describing more than one thing, in this case it could mean that either the sentence has an extra clause or the verb has an extra clause.

The lack of ambiguity also means it takes fewer commands to describe a single operation. For example, in an calculator with infix notation, which is what most people learn, calculating the multiple of four pairs of sums would require the following keypresses:

( 5 + 6 ) x ( 2 + 7 ) x ( 3 + 8 ) x ( 7 + 9 ) =

With an RPN calculator, which has a postfix notation, it would only require these keypresses:

5 Enter 6 + 2 Enter 7 + 3 Enter 8 + 7 Enter 9 + x x x

That's 24 in the first example and 19 in the latter, a reduction of over 20%.

My grandma never really learned how to use a computer and was generally not very good at complex instructions. When she learned to use a calculator, RPN was just as common as postfix notation, and she was able to figure out how to use RPN, but had trouble figuring out postfix notation. Nowadays, schools usually only teach postfix notation, so most students aren't exposed to the easier method, and will have to do extra work, in the short term, to lean it, but it means calculations will require less work, once learned.

tl;dr: Postfix notation is the Dvorak keyboard to infix notation's Qwerty keyboard. The former is easier and faster, but everyone learns the latter. Putting in the extra work to learn the former will save you more time in the long run.
