most non-Mac laptops have a spare slot for an SSD (and the original one is likely replaceable), with RAM being replaceable too. Why wouldn't the desktop prices apply here too?

I know a core developer (Marek) recently got a Framework 16 and submitted some fixes after early testing iirc - might be worthwhile chasing it with him

They've been verified to be fairly accurate:

Thank you very much for this resource! Reading through the article and the discussion here I was really surprised why nobody discussed using actually existing modules, this clarifies how far that is from a solution.

You should really post this as a separate Show HN story!

"Estimated finish by the year 5134" made me chuckle

> The most fundamental issue is that the borrow checker forces a refactor at the most inconvenient times. Rust users consider this to be a positive, because it makes them "write good code", but the more time I spend with the language the more I doubt how much of this is true. Good code is written by iterating on an idea and trying things out, and while the borrow checker can force more iterations, that does not mean that this is a desirable way to write code. I've often found that being unable to just move on for now and solve my problem and fix it later was what was truly hurting my ability to write good code.

The latter part of this is true for any strongly statically typed language (with Rust expanding this to lifetimes), which negates the beginning of this paragraph -- once you get things compiled, you won't need to refactor, unless you are changing major parts of your interfaces. There are plenty of languages that do not have this problem because it is a design choice, hardly something Rust can "fix", it's what makes it Rust.

having recently done similar day-and-night long suites of benchmarks (on a laptop in heat dissipation conditions worse than on any decent desktop), I've found that there is no correlation between the order the benchmarks are run in and their performance (or energy consumption!). i would therefore assume that a non-overclocked processor would not exhibit the patterns you are thinking of here

The LLM confusion (aside from the similar name) might also have come from the "Transformers" discussed in one of the papers linked.

Red Hat have just announced Nova, a GSP-only driver for Nvidia GPUs, intended as a successor to Nouveau.

the total lack of sources and references (other than to the articles on this very blog) is annoying to say the least. is there anything at all to read on this alleged Elbrus influence on Itanium plans, in Russian or English?

I'm not sure the Mig Switch will allow you to play homebrew, it is designed to replicate the (apparently reverse-engineered) security protocol of game cards signed by Nintendo. The Github repos you've seen previously are probably your best bet, they're designed for homebrew development, but to launch these you'd need to mod your Switch: with an unpatched original model (could easily be verified on https://ismyswitchpatched.com/) it's as easy as connecting two pins with a paperclip and injecting a USB payload with your PC, with patched later models this requires a modchip soldered onto the board.

from Olesya Khromeychuk's "‘Undetermined’ Ukrainians: Post-War Narratives of the Waffen SS ‘Galicia’ Division" on the Deschenes Commission:

"These conclusions were based partly on the assumption that the Division underwent a thorough screening by the UK authorities while in SEP/POW camps in Europe, although that screening, as will be discussed in Chapter 3, was far from thorough. This, however, did not discourage the Deschênes Commission from relying on it, as is evident from the conclusions which cite the screening report of 1947"

"The confidence of the Deschênes Commission in the British screening report’s conclusions seems to imply that the Commission was either ill-informed as to the meticulousness of the screening of the ‘Galicia’ performed by the UK authorities in the aftermath of the Second World War, or that it chose not to subject the report to close scrutiny. According to Rodal, a key explanation for the Deschênes Commission’s collective exoneration of the Division is what she refers to as the ‘ethnic factor’,28 and ‘persistent lobbying efforts and backing from a demographically significant Ukrainian ethnic constituency.’29"

"While lacking conclusive documentary evidence, the assumption that those Ukrainians who joined the ‘Galicia’ Division in its post-Brody recruitment phase might have participated in war crimes in the earlier years of the war is highly credible."

the "doesn't" camp, of course. Brenner in the context of the larger debates or on his own? Have you read Jairus Banaji?

What's particularly interesting in Sapolsky's work for you?

what are you reading now if you read Pannekoek when you were younger, I wonder?

- Smart Machines and Service Work, Jason E. Smith

- The Cybernetic Hypothesis, Tiqqun

don't really have much experience with JS or TS, but might try this later, thanks!

Sadly Tridactyl (vim keybindings for Firefox) doesn't work in reader mode, which really breaks the flow of my usual scrolling/tab-switching with vim keys. This, and the pdf reader tabs kill me because of it

So, RSS?

you can't save the planet with 'billions'. capitalism is by definition based on endlessly self-valorizing value

anyone still believing global warming could be stopped, and more than that, stopped with capitalism?

thanks for letting us know that you were a die-hard feminist, because I certainly only care about t-shirts and old labels, not actions here and now.

another supportive voice to let "hackers" go on with the culture of misogyny and discrimination, a front page hit!

The article discusses the issues with this approach in Andy's situation (hosting, rights etc.)

just throwing this out there, but like, blatant sexism and racism might be those opinions? tolerating these and promoting people holding them isn't cool either.

Is not continuing to employ abusers what you are questioning here and trying to portray as the new gender issue ideology?

Free software and misogyny aren't the same in the way you might think they are, the former can exist without the latter.

I am curious as to where did you find Andy mentioning anything about a new kind of ideological purity? Or is this the typical 'SJW' scarecrow to prevent any kind of meaningful change whatsoever?

What if, I don't know, we update that free software ethos and acknowledge its dark history of discrimination and abuse?

A way to totally miss the point of the article and the situation and come up with an absurd choice I guess?

stupid 'hackers' being stupid 'hackers' as always. what should concern you if not global commodification of personal data?
