Great writeup, but I wonder why so much emphasis is put on not 'connected to network' part. It seems like a timed inactivity reboot is a simpler idea than any type of inter-device communication schemes. It's not new either; G

Any large expenditure is going to cause inflation since it competes with the rest of market for materials, labor, or any other limited resource. It doesn't mean we shouldn't do it but we can't just ignore the consequences.

It's also a coordination problem. You won't help your children (the timeline is not that long) by personally giving up your "modern [conveniences]". You need a substantial portion of the population to do that to have any

Any nuclear power plants being built decreases the marginal cost of building another. If private companies are willing to front the cost of building the first one in recent times, it may help.

> A 5 passenger vehicle can be 1200kg or 3000kg but both offer almost the same utility. Let's be honest here, a lot of these 5 passenger vehicles carry only the driver 90% of the times. For that use specifically it can be replaced w

AC is pretty efficient and the temperature differential it needs to overcome is smaller than winter heating in most places. For these places specifically it seems to obviously be the production of oil for the first two and coal for the thir

I assume GP is implying some type of cultural messaging around kids being undesirable. I don't think this is true, and even if it is, the primary reason is the decline in living conditions (inflation-adjusted wages) for the average per

In order to support bridges to so many different proprietary platforms Matrix needs to have a superset of their features, so the feature creep is probably intentional. It does make it harder for clients to keep up though.

The lack of good clients is really holding Matrix back. Element is rather bloated, and most of the other clients are missing significant amounts of features.

A lot of teaching is wasted on those who already knew and those who are ill-prepared to learn. Although I am skeptical of many of the current proponents of AI in education there is clearly a lot of opportunity for improved efficiency here.

I don't like the idea of requiring it in school. It is tantamount to the government (of which school is a manifestation) forcing you (a minor) to enter into a rather unfavorable contract (data collection? arbitration? prove you are a h

If there's something more unethical than AI plagiarism, that's going to be using AI to condemn people for it. I'm afraid that would further devalue actually writing your own stuff, as supposed to iterating with ChatGPT to pro

I would think Arch is close enough to Manjaro that it wouldn't be too tricky to migrate. You would probably get most of the way there by simply copying home and etc and then reinstalling the all of the installed packages.

by alwayslikethis 2y ago
That's the kind of thing you do with spy- or ad-ware. What does Manjaro offer over plain Arch that is "super comfortable"?

by alwayslikethis 2y ago
One of the best things about using free software is you don't get any nags, terms and conditions you need to click through.

Arch has an installer now. Arbitrarily delaying packages doesn't really make things any more stable. If anything it causes stability problems if you use the AUR that assumes you are on latest arch.

HN has this thing called the second chance pool. Mods give some old submissions a second chance and timestamps are changed to make it look like a new post.

And if you care about data integrity, you shouldn't be using these. It's zfs, btrfs if you don't want to deal with the licensing issue, or bcachefs (though it is pretty new at this point)

You can already buy one of those, the X13s. But the performance isn't like Apple's.

I'm surprised it doesn't overheat already. My 4TB on an M.2 2280 form factor runs at 60+ C. Compressing that down would make it much harder to dissipate the heat.

It is vendor lock-in. The cost of leaving is not in the SSD but the software ecosystem you'd be giving up if you want the same performance with other hardware. The $1000 SSD is the rent or surplus they are charging by the virtue of the

You can use a combination of auto-save-visited-mode (this will save to the actual file, rather than a backup) and gitwatch to auto commit all changes. It should prevent most forms data loss or desynchronization.

Sales tax is added to the price. 50% means to add 50 cents for every dollar you pay. 100% is double price.
