Well you've got Lunar and Arrow on the horizon. Allegedly Nova and Panther after that, but that's just Tech News speculation. There doesn't appear to be any sign that they're ditching the naming convention. I'm more

There's also a certain art to working on something that won't work, long enough that the act of failing triggers new innovations. If you know from the offset it's not possible, then you leave yourself closed to the opportunit

I don't know of any public instances with said hardware, but the cloud providers definitely have them, along with a few big data centre customers. It's probably going to be a matter of months before people can access them on AWS&#

It's because we have a government of aristocratic bimbos who have blundered through life studying a curriculum of ancient classics and pre-1950s history, with a sprinkling of "GDP is king" economics, which at best prepares th

Precisely. It never "roots out". Use and subsequent abuse of power is a fundamental human trait. All we can do to rectify it is to put systems and bodies of people in place to punish infractions that harm both the institution and

I understand the sentiment, but I'm also aware of quite a few forums that have been swamped with legions of people looking for work. There's a meaningful risk that because HN has enough employers, the flood gates will open if this

This quote puts it quite succinctly: “Do people confuse motor oil, olive oil and jojoba oil? I think not. No more than they confuse vegan steak from beef steak.” The same thing as in France has happened in the UK. Social media was inundated

Agreed. I've been a passenger in plenty of them; many of them don't seem any bigger on the inside than a hatchback, with very similar boot space. It's all pointless, superficial bodywork that makes the demand for them seem ev

Same in the UK. SUVs and large off-road vehicles are taking over. The Range Rover seems to be the car of choice for every wealthy middle-aged mother on her morning school run. Just recently, one of them managed to careen hers into kids outs

A lot of people shirk at the Guardian because it's a notoriously left-wing, progressive paper politically. People often mirror their sentiments about that onto other, none political articles unfortunately. On the science side it's

Try looking at ARM Embedded Single Boards. They're only ever marketed to industry for smart automation/IoT systems, but effectively fill the niche you're looking for: https://uk.farnell.com/c/embedded-com

Agreed. I'm running a dual-boot Manjaro OS on the Serpent Canyon NUC (Intel 12th Gen CPU with their new A750 GPU). It was very finicky at first, but as soon as Linux 6.2 rolled around it worked almost flawlessly. For first gen hardware

You can then argue that they've spent the last decade slipping into irrelevance, so perhaps the NUC focus was a distraction from their core issues. They're at an inflection point in the company where either they turn the ship arou
