Not a Linux machine, but 14 and 16 inch MBPs with something like the Vivid app do really well in sunlight in light mode. I enjoy working outside on mine.

I was looking for a 40-43in 4K TV for PC monitor use, considered the LG C series, but it wouldn't work in my bright room.

I went with Samsung QN90C instead and I'm super happy with it. It's very bright, fights glare well, and there's Jellyfin for it.

This is pretty decent, at least the first half: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrOVKHg_PJQ

Nick Land kind of took this line of reasoning to its ultimate conclusion, I recommend giving his ideas a read even if they sound repulsive.

"Nothing human makes it out of the near-future."

Aren't AI GPUs a drop in the bucket compared to consumer electronics?

Nvidia sold ~3M blackwells in 2025: https://wccftech.com/nvidia-has-sold-over-three-million-blac...

Compare that to laptops which sell in tens of millions per manufacturer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laptop_brands_and_manu...

Plus, it's way easier to collect boards for recycling from a centralized data center.

What was that Microsoft alternative called?

>Exactly my thoughts. I really admired the design and how far WSL1 got. It is just sad to see it abandoned.

But why was it better, other than aesthetic preference?

Ragas also has a feature to generate ground truths and queries: https://docs.ragas.io/en/latest/getstarted/testset_generatio... Although simply prompting an LLM with chunks of source documents might work better / cheaper - ragas tends to explode with retries in my experience.

>The universe is trillions of times larger than we currently think it is

Why do you think that?

Use Ice instead: https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice

ARM Windows seems to be able to run x86 apps, though. I use an ARM Windows on an M1 mac to run BMW E-Sys and it works well enough.

I cannot find the mac app anywhere. Is there a link?

There are thousands of porn consumers with destroyed reward circuitry per every porn actor, of which few are mistreated and the majority are compensated very well.

Producing a neverending supply of wireheading-like addictive stimuli is the farthest possible thing from a good for humanity.

Want to do good in this area - work on ways to limit consumption.

The ability to exert power and influence over things you value continues to scale with money. There's more to life than consumption.

Złuda roughly means "delusion" / "mirage" / "illusion" in Polish, given the author is called Andrzej Janik this may be a pun :)

Why a trackpoint without the middle click? How do you scroll?

Just make sure you're getting enough lux, commercial SAD lamps are so dark it's borderline fraudulent. You need a LOT of light.

What's the country? I'm in this situation in Poland and I'm running a company (sole proprietorship). I'd say the majority of IT work is done this way here for tax benefits, even within the country. You may be doing the employee a favor this way (their costs can be written off), and you'll make things simple for yourself.

Yup, they switched to piezoelectric injectors in N53 which are crazy expensive and regularly fail.

I'm shopping around for a B48 powered car, and there have been instances of stretched chains at like 180000km.

It's worse in B47, which carries over the same timing parts as N47 and it's generally acknowledged it's best to replace the chain at 120000km there.

6cyls seem to fare better, my guess is the pulling forces on the chain are spaced more evenly.

BMW got much better since the switch to B series engines, N series era was horrible. Timing chains between the engine and gearbox are a pain point though, they need to be replaced with mileage.

And then there are companies like Dell and Lenovo which dispatch a serviceman to your address on next day and fix or replace the device on the spot.

Not the Cherry MX type, click and actuation are separate events. True with buckling springs though.

The concept of this website (sixcolors.com) is bewildering to me. I sincerely hope the authors are being handsomely paid by Apple behind the scenes, otherwise they just spend their lives doing free advertising for a trillion dollar corporation.

Me and my friend found our jobs through HN, and the HN common cultural context helped me in that job. It's definitely a value add for my life

The user absolutely is the product here, HN is a marketing and recruitment funnel to YC and YC-backed companies.

Both surprising news and unsurprising news are valuable, you just update your confidence in certain beliefs in opposite directions.

Sorry, I understood that one as irony.

2. Good. Are those events even worth keeping alive, if you need to get drunk to endure them? Something better will take their place.

3. Someone who feels pressured to drink at these would disagree. Especially someone who tries to limit their intake.
