Sorry I meant budget phone. Compared to the s7 which also came out the same year. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S7

> newer phones like the Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016)

I know we are a more tech savvy crowd but is using a 7 year old feature phone really the best example to make this argument? I imagine that most people keep their phones closer to four years.

To be fair it's not clear (and unlikely) that that's the lowest end fpga this could run on. It's more likely that's what they had available

Or just go to another country - when I moved to Singapore most of my hip hop was removed from my library

It's not the same though, the Miyoo and similar products are software emulation, the analogue series use FPGAs to emulate the hardware

Not sure why the price is relevant here, I use wired headphones and they’re (moondrop variations) about 500 USD.

They’re also less convenient since I “need” an external dongle to drive them and a lightning to usb adapter.

Basically there are trade offs both ways

Creating a new node group works which is super easy on GKE so it's pretty much a non issue. Definitely frustrating but not as bad as it sounds at first brush

I used to do this on the 2019? 16" Intel MacBook Pro when doing heavy rust/flutter compiles. It was more thermally limited than power limited, so doing a compile while outside the fridge would draw ~40w, doing a compile inside the fridge would draw ~120w. I eventually just bought a Mac Pro since I was worried about condensation killing it, but in the mean time it worked pretty well!

They used to - back in the android 4 days there was strong competition and a number of flagship devices.

I’m assuming it’s somewhat of a chicken and egg combined with googles inability to invest in growing products. No one makes good android tablet apps, so there’s a no reason to make android tablets, so there’s no reason to invest in android tablet apps.

This is super impressive on paper, but it feels like there aren't really many applications that can take advantage of this power on a phone due to thermal and (battery) power constraints.

Is the idea that mobile workloads are spiky so it can boost to full speed to render a webpage for example then go back to sleep? Are there / can there be any applications that sustain high clock speeds?

They’re more efficient than burning oil and we currently “mine” for oil so I don’t see how that’s not true

Nothing, I’m a nix user. Here’s what I have installed in general though

I guess it depends. I run minio with erasure coding but I also have 2x100gb interconnects between nodes and even with NVMEs I’m not noticing any performance issues with rebuilds. That said with most disks I could see how this could be a problem

3 replicas as in 3 complete copies of the data? Wouldn’t something would erasure coding be cheaper?

The goal is that it should be boring. When you take an uber normally you really only pay attention to the driver if they're really bad at driving or they're talking to you - so being bored by a self driving car to me is high praise

Okay, I hate to be that guy but I'm given two options for pricing

> Free but with only 24 Hours of Retention

or

> Contact us.

Pricing is hard for sure, but if I'm being honest neither of these options make me want to try the product.

Here's a solid example - in 2016 all teslas came with free supercharging for life. In 2017 they changed it to be non transferable. If you buy the car directly from someone tesla won't know but there has been cases where they've found out (warranty repairs for example) where tesla then removed it.

If the seller didn't tell the buyer, or the seller themselves didn't know - who's fault is that?

For sure, I was using an extreme example for my anecdote(s) but also how many people get 50% of their estimated range? This specific example might be someone with a bad battery that tesla is trying to sweep under the rug BUT the article positions this as it's basically everyone.

"This 1 guy gets 50% of the estimated range and the problem is so wide spread tesla started a team to address it!"

is really different from

"Many customers are surprised they get less range than it says on the site and for a very extreme example, one guy gets 50% less (under uncertain circumstances)"

I have an S so I'm biased but this feels like a hit piece.

Range is of course always going to be an estimate. Marketing is always going to be a battle of who has the bigger number. Having people schedule an appointment to fix their "broken" cars that can only go 470 instead of 500km is of course going to be a waste of time and money.

I'm part of a facebook group for tesla owners and literally every day this week there has been a post that goes something like "I left my house with 500km, drove 1km and now it says 497km. Should I schedule an appointment?" With the common advice being to switch to % instead of distance and remember that it's an estimate.

While I think Tesla (and most manufacturers) could do a better job at education, and of course having empathy for people who have spent a lot of money on something and worried it's defective, I don't think anything in this article is as damning as it sounds.

>> Or you can do machine learning in JavaScript so python is useless

> Said no one ever.

I want to reply to this point because I have some relevant & interesting experience here. I've done a fair amount of consulting for companies who have a scenario that goes like this:

- founder starts business in their free time, in a language they know well, as a monolith.

- founder gets a few customers and decides to scale the business

- founder decides they need to use "AI" to solve some business problem

- founder hires a person who is great at solving that particular problem.

- that person wants to use python (of course they do) but the monolith is not in python so various tensions ensue.

- the founder (or someone else on the engineer team) inevitably says "you can do ML in $LANGUAGE_WE_CHOSE, why use python? We didn't chose python because $REASONS_PYTHON_SUCKS.

You'd be surprised how often the language they chose is javascript and how often the reason not to use python is that they can't share code between the client and server. So unfortunately that example wasn't pulled out of nowhere

I’ve always hated this style of argument in tech where someone says X can do what Y does as an argument against using Y (or for using X) because it always missed *why* people use Y in the first place.

See for example you can write safe code in C therefore rust is pointless (yes but rust makes it much easier to write safe code)

Or you can do machine learning in JavaScript so python is useless (you can but it’s a much smaller ecosystem)

Etc etc.

You can pick whatever tools you want for whatever reason but please give me a better reason than it *can* be done.

As a previous Celsius "customer" - happy to hear it.

I guess I’m a naysayer but I hate mine. It’s so big in its case that’s it’s impractical to take on trips with me. The games I happen to want to play don’t work on it without hacks and I find it pretty uncomfortable to hold.

I recently got both a GPD Win 3 and 4 and I’ve found they’re much better in all the areas I care about. They’re more expensive of course but better to spend more on something that you use than spend less for something you don’t.

Whenever I see jellyfin trending on here or Twitter my first thought is “what did Plex do this time”

My 2019 mac pro has 384gb of ram I believe - I honestly don't need this much RAM but I'm keeping it because for my work (devops) and for my creative endeavours (music and video production) most of my apps and plugins don't support arm yet in fact even the ones that support arm perform better under x86 still for some reason

There isn't really a clear answer to this as if there was everyone would do it and because of supply and demand it wouldn't be a valuable anymore.

That said, there are a few "meta strategies" you could consider

1) get really good at learning and hop from hot thing to hot thing

2) do the jobs that no one wants to do that also pay well (mainframe maintenance, documentation, sales?)

3) get really good at soft skills and put yourself in positions like management where a lot of your staying power (and income) comes from the relationships you build and maintain

Bmw argues that their model is more efficient since the engine always runs at its most efficient RPM range

It’s still going, just slowly. I checked in on the RFC and it was updated 3 days ago
