Brilliant Labs was selling one for quite a while, but it looks like it was discontinued in favor of their new, more standard device https://docs.brilliant.xyz/monocle/monocle/

To gain the same effect as one that is soldered down, while giving themselves a simpler portfolio of assemblies and a cheaper FRU to swap in the event of failure.

"Does Data have a soul? I don’t know that he has. I don’t know that I have. But I have got to give him the freedom to explore that question himself."

Man whose compensation package is strongly tied to the economic performance of his company says company's economic performance will be great in 2027 and 2028 (so people should invest now to benefit from that bump)

FWIW, my C13 Yoga (Morphius) runs full-fat Linux significantly better than it ever ran ChromeOS

> ChromeOS is by default more lightweight than traditional Desktop OS

Maybe? The shipping ChromeOS on the Lenovo ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook (R7 3700C/16GB RAM/NVMe disk) is a dog. The system is nearly unusable. Can't even play YouTube videos properly, lags out with a few tabs, and maxes out the fan and practically freezes once you start trying to run serious Linux applications under Crostini. However, once blasted with MrChromebox firmware, and loaded with openSUSE, it runs very adequately. In fact, I'm posting this from inside Firefox with 17 tabs open, plus two instances of Okular and a kernel build running in the background, with no issue.

YMMV, I guess.

I regret to inform you that Mr. Kling and his browser have been pre-canceled on Mastodon due to his politics (support for DHH, Charlie Kirk, anti-DEI stances, etc.)

Fascinating stuff; thank you for sharing. Can I follow your work somewhere??

I mean...there's some precedent. The XKL TOAD ("Ten On A Desk") implements the PDP-10 instruction set, and will happily run TOPS-10/TOPS-20. LCM had one doing just that.

>Who sets their air conditioning to 82F?

Italy did! The minimum summer temperature was only 1.4°F less than that. Dunno if they've kept it up. Summer this year was brutal in Europe. https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe/italians-sweat-for-ukrai...

I'm reminded of the situation at Verizon in Switzerland ~12 years ago where they didn't have any central air conditioning in the building "for the environment." Swiss summers can be HOT. I've seen 40°C/104°F in my time there. This ended up with a bunch of engineers buying floorstanding AC units for their desks that blew cold air onto them and barfed the resultant differential + work heat out the rear vent. Truly insane.

My wife's SE 2020 is on its third battery. It was fine until she accidentally upgraded to iOS 26, but now it's a mega lagfest. Apple's refusal to allow OS downgrades is infuriating, because it's still a perfectly adequate device otherwise.

"Learn to code" already failed to flood the market and drive down labor costs sufficiently, but AI will achieve that.

Better: learn to prompt, learn to plan, learn to ideate, learn to configure your harness. Maybe learn to plant vegetables, also.

Teen welfare is just the excuse. The teens are collateral damage along the path to mandating identification and de-anonymizing the Internet. The teens aren't enfranchised, so they can't meaningfully complain, and once they can vote, their problem is over, so why would they fight?

Put another way: why should American employers be forced to hire Americans? If the labor pool is indeed substandard, they arguably have a vested interest in improving the quality of that labor pool rather than simply giving up on it. The $100k (and its consequences) are putting a finger on the scale in a nationalist manner to prefer local products. It's tariffs for people.

It comes down to whether you have a globalist or nationalist mindset. Depending on which, you will come to a different conclusion about what to think. Should a government prioritize the individual success of citizens of its country, or the profitability of companies domiciled there (and therefore overall national economic performance)? Which approach, which tide lifts more boats by a meaningful amount? Which comports with a government's stated duties?

You decide!

The idea that the agent does not actually have agency is rather discordant. We need new words!

Speaking as someone who ran away to the hills to become an on-grid farmer, I do recommend having a grid connection. Makes life a LOT simpler. Milking machines and chillers use a lot of power, the sun doesn't always shine enough days in a row to keep your batteries topped up, and small wind turbines are basically useless.

It's a rack KVM keyboard and constrained thereby. The remainder was a heavy-duty shelf-drawer and a 14" CRT monitor. I decom'd a few of these in a very, very legacy facility a few years ago. They're decent keyboards.

Hadn't the Metaverse already well and truly flopped before the AVP came out? It's a cool device, but when it was released I felt like Apple was a couple years late and 3499 dollars short.

I'm pretty sure you can get your brain back. You just have to stop having Internet at home/on your phone.

2003-04 I moved into student housing that didn't have Internet access provided. My first hard cutoff after years of being basically constantly online. Getting it hooked up would have cost me €130 plus a per-minute charge, and I declined. I got bored enough to play through Diablo II with a melee-only sorceress, and then I started buying/borrowing and reading books. Hadn't read in years; couldn't focus on the book long enough when Computer With Internet was there calling to me. Computer Without Internet wasn't nearly so enticing. 2 years later I moved into an apartment, got broadband, and reverted to my netbrained zombieism. I once again no longer remember how to read. I bet I could rediscover the skill a second time, but how could I convince my wife to let me get rid of the Internet at our house?

Electric propulsion would eliminate the local environmental impact of emissions justification for the short-haul flight bans that are floated and/or implemented [1] from time to time in Europe. It makes sense to spray less jet/avgas exhaust when possible. Of course, if the ban reasons include noise abatement or evil conspiratorial machinations, they're still on the table ;)

Yeah, but this is HN, and none of those things are gonna 10x your B2B SaaS startup, or help you maximize shareholder value for your employer

The story states that her retranslation predates the movie, and goes on to explain that it is common for translators to revisit their work, and also that the new version does not have a publication date and is about half done. The world will have well and truly forgotten about Nolan's Odyssey by the time V2 ships.

So no, I don't think it's fair to call this piggybacking.

Auto-MDI/X (auto-crossover) was codified in IEEE 802.3ab-1999, the specifcation for gigE, 27 years ago

That's a simplistic, reductive, and uninformed expression of history which completely disregards the roles of the artisan, merchant, innkeeper, or any of the numerous other trades which kept early economies moving. Not everyone was a hand-to-mouth peasant farmer, either in medieval Europe, or in earlier points in history.

The building of a cathedral provided generations of employment for stonemasons, men involved in felling and shipping timber, men involved in cutting and shipping stone, as well as people responsible for feeding the workers, making and repairing their tools, etc.; and once built, the cathedral would be a draw for pilgrims, who would need places to stay, food to eat, and so on.

A cathedral provides work.

"Plug two computers into each other with a network cable and staticly configure the IP addresses" should not be a novel or notable enough idea to trend on HN! This is boggling.

It wasn't "for the view," it was, in no particular order, and non-exhaustively:

* To provide work * To serve as a reminder of the power and authority of the church * To glorify God * To make sure all the other nearby kingdoms were aware of how much cooler you are than them

That said, XScreenSaver does work properly on Wayland now, apart from locking, but I don't need locking on my personal computer in my personal office in my personal house, so that's fine by me!

No. In fact, I will make another TUI just to spite this article. Maybe two.

No, it does not. What it states is: "A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state,"

(thus shedding light on the government's interest in the matter, since anything not illegal is legal by default)

"the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"

(thus confirming the right of people - which includes crazed yahoos, and excludes some but not all criminals - not the government, to have weapons)

This is the current understanding within American jurisprudence. People are of course free to disagree with it, but when it comes to laws, the government's understanding of what the law means takes precedence both de jure and de facto.

The Bill of Rights does not enumerate what a citizen is and is not allowed to do, but rather lays out a number of cases in a non-exhaustive manner in which it restricts the government from infringing on liberties that are understood to have pre-existed it.

The person who pays for the computer pays for the development software by virtue of the significant price uplift on Apple hardware relative to a similar configuration of non-Apple hardware.
