None? But that doesn't stop this being the midterm election narrative, pushed by left leaning mass media in wake of the Supreme court decision. Remember when Utah was mass-arresting residents returning from a gambling and booze weekend

For what it's worth, the CP1350PFCLCD I had died a strange, non-charging death where it would take about two weeks for the battery to discharge and start screaming (while being plugged in). Serves me right for cheating on APC.

From what i've read, aluminum is about the only thing that is remotely valuable, and can deposits tend take care of that. Paper and glass especially are EV negative, and composting a la NYC is yuppie feel good nonsense.

I suspect it's a linux "enthusiast" thing, rather than an american thing. Virtually every thread about linux on laptop starts out with someone claiming that it runs perfect on this or that hardware, then 20 other people chime

My favourite idiocy is that gnome-terminal will offset the items in the right click menu and display hex and and octet translation of a number you happen to have highlighted... for reasons. When someone posted this as a bug because of the o

I've got an upgraded 2007 mac mini (core 2 duo or something?) running as a time machine server with uptime of like 5 months. By far the most stable thing we've got at home.

Well yeah - getting that extra 16gb to the CPU from your SSD would take you around 4.5 seconds, versus 250 milli from RAM. Not to mention random access latency, nanos vs mics.

Ooooh good point - haven't actually heard of newest NVME stuff before. The M1/M2 apple hardware specifically seems to be around an order of magnitude from what I've seen (ddr4x 60-70gb/sec vs 7gb/sec for the NVME or

Isn't it the same DDR4x in either?

What relationship would that be? The DDR4x ram in the M1 can hit 70gb/sec, compared to 7gb/sec and ~3.5gb/sec average for the NVME. There's no amount of magic to get around those facts.

Ah beat me to it! The idea that Mx swapping to NVME is essentially no-op from performance perspective is patently wrong.

Apple must've spent a fortune on marketing bamboozlement ("you don't need as much RAM with apple silicone") that even people on HN now seem to parrot it. NVME is around two orders of magnitude slower than DDR3 RAM, so

This, I would imagine this heavily correlates to things like income and gdp per capita.

If the entire point of this public policy is to create votes for whoever is implementing it, this is exactly the dynamic you'd expect to see. To a politican about the only thing better than a vote buying scheme is perpetual vote buying

How is it non-deterministic? If you run the same trained model on the same input data, you should arrive at the exactly identical output.

European here as well; I suspect you misunderstood: Getting college loans in the US is absolutely trivial and the amount of money you can have access to is objectively preposterous. Any notion that the only way to get access to education is

Asinine line of argument is asinine. Quips like these would find themselves more at home on twitter rather than HN.

I would expect this to be a consequence of the "do what you love" mentality that seems to be popular of late, especially when coupled with irrational educational decisions ($250k for a social work degree at NYU etc). It's alm
