This will be my first Framework

Depending on how you treat it, it might also be your last. So far, Framework has offered upgrades to their existing customers so they don’t have to buy a completely new notebook to upgrade.

They are wrong. Theft means depriving someone of having something, and that’s not the case here. It’s more a “they’re taking our jobs” kind of situation.

anlumo ,

All artists train themselves on others artwork, most probably unpaid.

anlumo ,

Facts are not under copyright, only creative expression are. So, for example your randomly assigned phone number does not have copyright protection.

Those earbuds are not so great for flight mode.

anlumo ,

It’s the confidence with which he sprouts his nonsense. People flock to confident personalities, because they must know a lot of things (presumably).

anlumo ,

I’d rejoin for double the wage I previously had. Need to build up an emergency fund for this precarious position.

anlumo ,

That’s not how research & development works. Nobody asks for a specific person there. Stuff just doesn’t get done.

  • Improved autocomplete when programming
  • Recommendations for third party packages or protocols for programming or letting it list details for them, or comparing two competing implementations
  • Hints for my TTRPG stories (not so great for that, because it always uses very similar ideas)
  • Helping recalling a word I forgot by simply describing what I mean, same with phrases or proverbs

Location tracking and recording of all activity (voice, text messages). The FBI has admitted doing so during big events like protests.

anlumo ,

It’s not related to the left/right divide, this is the authoritarian/liberal axis.

anlumo ,

A bartering LLM where the system prompt contains the worst deal it’s allowed to accept.

anlumo ,

The traditional separation is between individualist vs. social. Individualists value personal freedom over the prosperity of the community, while socials strife for welfare for everyone over personal life improvements.

anlumo ,

The EU’s privacy laws don’t require a cookie dialog. It’d be legal and a way better user experience to make tracking opt-in and move the setting to some configuration menu somewhere else.

anlumo ,

Don’t forget politicians. Millionaires or Billionaires asking for money from the general population to fund the campaign so they can get the job.

There’s a 3D printed bridge in Amsterdam: dezeen.com/…/mx3d-3d-printed-bridge-stainless-ste…

Federation isn’t something that can be added later. This has to be part of the protocol from the start.

anlumo ,

It started as a Fediverse-based alternative to Reddit, so it was designed with federation in mind from the start.

anlumo ,

Using a Large Language Model for image detection is peak human intelligence.

anlumo ,

Yeah, this worked so well for XMPP when everybody federated with Gmail chat.

Apple will require notarization for apps from third party app stores, and will disable updates for apps installed via third party app stores if staying outside EU (support.apple.com)

As far as I can tell this basically means that all apps must be approved by Apple to follow their “platform policies for security and privacy” even if publishing on a third party app store. They will also disable updating apps from third party app stores if you stay outside the EU for too long (even if you are a citizen of...

That’s equivalent to a parking fine for regular people. I know many people who would risk a parking fine if it means that they save a few minutes of searching for a parking spot.

anlumo ,

For the first violation, they chose to go for 0.5% instead of the 10%. I’m not holding my breath.

anlumo ,

You can buy just the motherboard of a Framework laptop and build something around that. There are even cases for them available to print.

anlumo ,

I’ve started to ask ChatGPT first to avoid this.

anlumo ,

RISC-V is exciting for chip manufacturers, not sure why end users should be. I personally don’t care whether the CPU in my system required the producer to pay a license fee.

anlumo ,

Yes, and UX is bad in web applications. I‘m saying that as a web application developer.

anlumo ,

It‘d have to be tailored to that car, but that’s all just CANBus and software.

anlumo ,

1.6 Billions, and everybody wondered why they bought Weta Digital and what they want to do with it. Apparently they didn’t know as well.

They didn’t even kill competition with that move, they just dealt a major blow to the film industry.

anlumo ,

As a web developer, Safari needs to either die in a fire or be transferred to a company that actually cares. It’s more than half a decade behind everybody else.

anlumo ,

It also took 6 years longer than everybody else to support WebGL2, and it’s the only browser without a working WebGPU implementation. It also has no timeline for wasm-gc, while Chrome already ships with it default enabled and Firefox will ship with it on the next release.

anlumo ,

I personally prefer to use such languages, but I often don’t have a choice for certain tech stacks.

anlumo ,

Speaking of extremely unprofessional…

anlumo ,

Probably got cold feet because a few important people left as well.

anlumo ,

Assuming the error message is accurate.

anlumo ,

Murphy should probably stay clear of windows and high-risk endeavors for the rest of his life.

anlumo ,

Isn’t that the big difference between civil law (most of Europe) and common law (UK, US)? The former follows the spirit of the written laws (even including comments by the lawmakers), while the latter follows the letter of the law.

anlumo ,

ARM chips are generally better at that.

anlumo ,

Here’s an example for that: Apple needed to ship an x86_64 emulator for the transition, but that’s slow and thus make the new machines appear much slower than their older Intel-based ones. So, what they did was to come up with their own private instructions that an emulator needs to greatly speed up its task and added them to the chip. Now, most people don’t even know whether they run native or emulated programs, because the difference in performance is so minimal.

anlumo ,

That’s actually pretty impressive, given that he 10x overpaid for it.

anlumo ,

This sounds very familiar to when Steve Ballmer wasn’t worried about the iPhone at all.

anlumo ,

Modern ARM GPUs already support OpenGL and Vulkan, that’s not a problem. Just some platforms chose to go mobile APIs due to running Android.

The trick with emulation that Apple did was to add custom instructions to the CPU that are used by the emulation layer to efficiently run x86_64 code. Nothing is stopping other CPU manufacturers from doing the same, the only issue is that they have to collaborate with the emulation developer.

anlumo ,

Microsoft is actually pushing Windows on ARM right now, since their exclusivity deal with Qualcom expired. This is going to get interesting.

anlumo ,

Weta was an especially weird and expensive acquisition, since they’re not even in the same field.

StageCraft is the only thing where there is even a small overlap between game tech and the film industry, and that one is using Unreal Engine. Other than that, the special effects used in movies render at minutes per frame, not frames per second as in games. There’s no technology suitable for Unity in that.

anlumo , (edited )

Well yes, but for that they need to develop a competitor to Nanite, and Weta won’t get them any closer to that.

anlumo ,

Nvidia has been selling ARM CPUs with built-in homegrown graphics for about a decade by now, so this is hardly a surprise.

anlumo ,

ADC is incredibly inconvientient, because it doesn’t support hotplugging. It also requires the computer to contain a power supply for the screen.
