But Intel pretty much bet everything AI on Falcon Shores (2025). If its crumby or late, I think it will be difficult for them to catch up. They'll have inference hardware in laptops, sure, but still...
I lived in Beijing for 9 years. You know you are doing something right when the pro Chinese crowd calls you anti Chinese and the anti Chinese crowd calls you pro Chinese.
Personal attacks, such as you posted in this thread, aren't allowed on HN and will get you banned here. I don't want to ban you, so please don't do this again. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.
It's of course difficult to remain respectful to other people when their views are remote from yours. The temptation is strong to think that they can't possibly be reasonable or fair, they must be in bad faith, etc. But after many years of moderating these disputes I can tell you that most of these perceptions are mistaken—what's really going on is that people have such different backgrounds that it's hard for them to relate to each other.
Those are separate issues. We need users, including you, to follow HN's rules regardless of what other people are up to. The way you attacked seanmcdirmid in this thread was unacceptable and obviously against the rules.
At the same time, users aren't allowed to accuse each other of being shills, etc. - this too is well-established and also in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. If you feel that users are breaking the rules you're welcome to flag the comments or to let us know at hn@ycombinator.com but responding by breaking the rules yourself is not ok.
It's been what, 30 years, but even the ending has way more cgi/vr than 3 seconds. The movie may not have been made had they not used the name of King's short story, which isn't all that good to begin with.
That said, I think the Johnny Quest remake had plenty of vr. It was pretty cool for its time.
I've worked with a number of developers whose output without these tools is a giant, unreadable mess. Training juniors to be reliant on this stuff does more harm (to them) than good.
If I'm reading this correctly, you think juniors should live without formatters because they need to learn to format manually?
I entirely disagree. Juniors have to learn so many more important things - how to logically structure code, testing, working on teams, git...
Why take time away from learning those (and similar) concepts to teach them something a tool does well and, if necessary, they can learn later?
I like it to deciding to teach teens how to drive with a manual transmission instead of an automatic one- they need to be able to drive and not hit things, and the more we can simplify that, the happier we all are. If needed, some kids can go back and learn how to use a stick shift.

You did not interpret what I said correctly. Not that you had much to work with, but that small wall of text is based on a major extrapolation.
I said completely relying on these tools is doing them disservice. How do you train your muscle memory when the tools are doing everything for you. I, for one, believe proper formatting is a sign of care and it's really easy to spot when someone is not paying attention.
Only an fool would waste time on manual code formatting. The editor should automatically apply the organization's formatting rules. No muscle memory is required.
Great post, though I am somewhat puzzled by the omission of self proclaimed "liberals" that somehow managed to infest much of the web. They are pretty much an exact replica of what we usually call fascists. It's likely that both groups are operated by the same forces.
America is a liberal nation. Almost every political philosophy has to rephrase itself in terms of liberty in order to get a foothold here.
Depending on the political context, you could be describing anyone from tankies[0] to ancaps to Black Lives Matter. The only commonality between them is that they all used Twitter at one point, a microblogging platform with a hilariously toxic userbase for the amount of attention the media gave it.
I shouldn't have to say this, but being toxic doesn't make you a fascist. Furthermore, political disagreements tend to be self-perpetuating in ways that look like coordination from far away.
[0] Who will insist they aren't liberals, but America doesn't use that definition of "liberal"
You can publish a package that has zero files in it, even if it mentions them in main/exports. That’s a very basic check they could do, but they don’t.
Ideally you wouldn’t be able to publish a type=module file that contains “require”, but if npm doesn’t even want to validate the existence of the file, we can never get to how to validate anything else.
At the very least warn the user that they’re publishing a broken package, but still allow it if you must.
Simulating CRT on a smeary 120 Hz LCD doesn't sound good to me.
Only the latest super high refresh OLEDs are approaching that capability and the software is not done. Nobody is simulating the rays right now. Pretty niche, so progress is slow.
That’s simply not an issue. I’m not trying to simulate a CRT, I’m trying to avoid nausea inducing sample and hold blur. Which BFI does a good enough job of. Sample and hold displays including OLED are to me just both smeary messes at anything below 240hz.
I also use BFI with my OLED and sure, BFI at 240hz is better but it’s not available to me in a handheld.
Right, more bandwidth would really help mobile iGPUs, maybe more than it'd help many-core CPUs. I'm not sure if they want to sell super-beefy consumer iGPUs, or if AM5 is physically capable of having more channels. But it would be shiny, and seems like it's worked out in the large Apple SoCs.
I almost bought Lenovo Legion Go but decided against the first iteration. I think they should not have marketed the device for gaming.
On the bright side, phoronix said the detachable controller drivers are (about to be?) merged into one of the latest kernels. That's pretty remarkable.
> I think they should not have marketed the device for gaming.
What do you mean by this? Like you think it's better as a productivity or media consumption device? I never use my Ally for watching anything because the screens so small and I have an ipad, I kind of figured I'd use it more if I got the legion instead.
I have plenty other computers that are better suited for the type of gaming I do.
I imagined using the device, with its stand, on my tummy. Mostly reading but also hosting stuff. It's about 650 grams without the controllers, so not ideal, but better than my 1.4 kg laptop. Better than a phone.
Minisforum is about to release a high end Ryzen 8000 14 inch tablet real soon. Still a kilo, though.
