HN readers are, as an average, high on technical know-how and bad at social skills and reading the room. What you're seeing is the natural outcome of that.

Why would anyone use such an arbitrary method when you could have a 9800x3D for $40 more?

"Copilot, how do I remove Copilot?"

Windows 10 EOL is probably helping to churn a lot of aging Intel chips out here. I can't imagine anyone in the know is building a new desktop with an Intel anything in it these days, either.

Oh goody! I hope some of it can be used for DRM encrypted TV broadcasts too.

The games would just leave Steam. The big publishers want their own platforms and launchers anyway.

That's why they're not leaving office. Check out Venezuela for a preview of what's in store for the US.

Even if this is possible, it is seldom worth it. If you look around and find deep disagreements with your coworkers, the right answer is typically to find another cohort of people to work with, not to fight an uphill battle every day. You will burn out. Just move on.

Very cool project!

Anything surprise you about working on this? Any tips you found about implementing for FPGA?

This is S-tier rage bait, I commend you.

> People jumped to Windows 7 out of spite; with Linux Desktop marketshare still slowly, steadily rising over the last 10 months. Windows 7 is EOL and no longer receives security patches, so security wise people are a lot worse off than what was anticipated.

If you saw the same report of that, it turned out to be a UA anomaly. Most likely very few people actually went back to Win 7, which now has quite bad compatibility with newer hardware and software.

This is obviously untrue, isn't it? A great many person has died maidenless, as it were.

Are we partying? I remember that during the inflation times during covid, but this feels like a long, drawn-out hangover.

Sorry for the convenience

Many of us on this website live in the bay area. The earthquake woke us up with a stern jolt and now you're witnessing a shared moment in the community as we try to drift back to sleep.

Excellent sleuthing. I feel like this has some great quick debugging ideas for system wonkiness that I never knew existed.

It feels a bit of a shame to wrap it all up in an AI-written summary, but I guess if that was the only way to get the info out, so be it.

It's time to log off lil bro

But these bakers don't want "cake mix", they want the specific Betty Crocker cake mix

This sounds like the argument people make against Hawaiian food. Why use Spam! You can eat real food you know!

Thing is, once something has been done a certain way, it becomes a tradition in its own right. It doesn't really matter how it got to be that way, but once people have nostalgia for it, they want to keep doing it the same way.

How many cars are you buying?

> Universities were going on and on, how drunk people can not consent, and even saying hi to someone in a bar is unethical!

Actually they've been saying that drunk people can't consent to sex, not to saying "hi." Bit of a difference, that.

100% yes, at least down to a rounding error. If people stop pushing billions into training new versions, then the novelty will wear off very quickly. There are still many constraints on what it can do and people will generally lose motivation when they start finding those invisible boundaries on its capabilities. It'll be effectively a dead pursuit.

> By March 1989, however, Hugh Barnes—now Compaq’s vice president of engineering—started to notice that Intel’s best chip people were being reassigned to other teams. Some quiet investigation revealed the cause. Sun Microsystems, one of Intel’s rivals, had announced chips based on a new design approach called reduced-instruction-set computing (RISC). For Intel, this presented a threat to its higher-end, large computer and mainframe markets. It was now shifting to focus on that threat instead.

> At a hotel room in Silicon Valley, in April 1989, Canion and Gates met with Andy Grove and Intel chair Gordon Moore to try to persuade them to stick with 486 development. After considerable back and forth, Intel reversed course. The new chip launched in late 1989.

Could this be the moment that forever saddled us (and Intel) with the cumbersome legacy of x86? It seems like a great cultural win for PCs in the moment, but in hindsight this decision almost feels backwards somehow.

Does hibernate play nice with FDE? I know in Linux there are varying caveats around committing memory to disk wrt disk encryption

Dammed if you do, damned if you don't

Hehe, Testfahrten

We can just start calling it by its full Christian name, Eczemascript
