What's the best price per performance portable small form factor 'puter on the market at the moment?

$2,499.00 Apple M4 Max chip with 16‑core CPU, 40‑core GPU, 48GB unified memory

$2,145.00 Framework Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 - 128GB, 16‑core CPU, 40‑core GPU, 128gb unified memory.

Which one of these is better, aside from extra ram you get with framework?
>>
>>107719697
linux > macos > windows, but framework has good linux support. it basically comes down to what your preference is, and the big memory chunk is nice if you want to play with local LLMs
>>
How small are we talking about? I would say its mac or itx build catered to your needs.
>>
>>107719697
Depends what you need said performance for...
>>
>>107719697
For that price if you don’t want or care for windows, the Mac is the only choice.
Before this month I would have called you a retard for buying the framework, but considering the price of individual components, it’s probably not a horrible deal these days, still have to deal with soldered on bullshit on a PC, but whatever at this point.

Honestly neat, all this lora stuff looks interesting but I don't have the time or willingness to do an autistic deep dive into the DIY of the hobby. A prebuilt phone-like thingy that just works looks cool. Though the ultra low end MCU doesn't inspire too much confidence for having a lot of functionality (what's the camera even for, isn't lora super low bitrate?)

The other main issue is having people to talk to
>>
>>107720557
Yeah, I know there's really shitty ones and there's good ones. And the good ones aren't even that much more expensive, you pay a bit more of course but it's still like $30 for one or some shit so IMO very worth it
However it has been ages since I've looked at this so I don't remember exactly what the different types are called or which ones are good. But if you do some research you should be able to get an idea relatively quickly.

late to the ai game here... how can i use ai in my tech job to do less work/make my life easier?
>>
>>107720668
What's your job?
If it's programming, download either cursor or claude code. Get a subscription or ideally get your work to pay for a subscription.
If it's something else then you'll have to figure it out I dunno man. AI can do a lot nowadays, but everything needs supervision. Imagine having access to a monkey that has read every book every written and is well trained to behave intelligently, but still sometimes thinks smearing poop over things is a good solution because it's a monkey. Now imagine hiring that monkey for $20/month. What kind of low-level tasks can you give it where if it does them correctly, it makes your life easier, and if it gets a nonsensical monkey idea and you have to throw it away and gently go "no monkey, good attempt but that's not it" and probably do it yourself, it's not a big burden? The key is to minimize verification effort.

I use QubesOS with detached boot partition on 2 duplicated USB drives with any data that rests on the SSD/HDDs being encrypted with LUKS2. Whonix gateway is proxied through a VPN qube to hide Tor IPs (can't hide communication patterns) without bridges since bridge IPs can be farmed. Sometimes Tor through I2P outproxy or vice-versa or with different anonymizing network overlays. Clients used for browsing are only opened in on-RAM ephemeral qubes with no access to permanent storage. Attack surface is quite minimum since no extra things added like USB mouse and no PV qubes (aside from sys-usb and sys-net) are used for launching HVM qubes with qemu stub domains unless very necessary and every other qube on the system gets shut down first to keep information leakage minimum. A veracrypt volume with hidden storage on a permanent qube for data storage and plausible deniability.

what's your setup like?

I have this laptop. It's OK. CPU performance is enough for web browsing, but not a whole lot more. GPU is basically just good for hardware video decode. When I first got it, Linux support was questionable. It took a fair amount of work to get the touchscreen working, and sound didn't work. But these days everything just works at least with newer versions of Ubuntu. Only other weird thing is that the mouse buttons are mapped to the numpad, so you will need to remap them. Battery life seems pretty good.

I had the bearings go out in the fan after a couple months. So I just unplugged the fan and added some more thermal pads to utilize the metal case as heatsink and the thing stays perfectly cool (and a lot quieter too). The biggest problem with this device and probably all mini laptops is that the screen is just too small to easily use most applications with reasonable scaling. I don't need a laptop all that often, so I can live with it. But don't expect to do extended work on the laptop's built in screen. And there is no multifunction USB C port, so don't expect to be able to use a docking station either.

I miss the 90s/early 00s retro-futuristic trends in Anime. Combo of then contemporary computer forms with big words like Internet, AI, holograms etc was kind of charming. Sadly it pretty much died a natural death.

I've been looking for this but I haven't found it:
>x86 tablet (no keyboard) for full compatibility with older software
>8 to 9'' screen, or considerably small
>Powerful enough for anything that isn't games
>A digitizer (pen support)
I think such a small size is retarded, but the person looking for it seems obsessed with the idea of having a device like this because 10'' is already too much to carry or something, I don't know. A tablet is specially unusable with Windows at that small screen size, I'm guessing that's one of the reasons pen support is requested.
I found some devices like this but they were old and definitely not powerful. I found that a very powerful small device is the Lenovo Legion Go if you don't use the gamepads, but it doesn't have a digitizer. I found somewhat decent tablets with a digitizer (I guess the fucking Surface ones) but they're all too "big". You see where I'm going with this?

I had a gpd win 1 and a politely loved that little guy. He died a few years later and I didn't think to check out the steam deck which came out a few years after. I always listed after handhelds but ignored it until I started traveling for work and then I decided I was tired of raw dogging international flights and bought an Asus ally x.
Im now never going back to gaming rigs and laptop. Handhelds all the way. My new laptop is a 14inch elite book whose sole purpose is just general computing. No gaming. That's what the ally is for. My next handheld is going to be a legion go 2.

There's a new bug in Linux known as "sleepy Gnome".

what if a new package needs to start, will your package manager just happens it?
what if it strictly needs graphics or network on start? what if it depends on a service?
what if it needs a specific disk to exist?
can it parallelize?
can it create a report of detailed timings of every component?
can your well written software handle all this, automatically, without explicit intervention by a simple invocation of pacman -S or dnf install, maybe only with a restart in case it needs early boot conditions? or does it need constant babysitting and manual adapting for thousands of different combinations of packages

You'll need to disable submodule merging for all repos read over tramp by setting project-vc-merge-submodules to nil

Something like this maybe? Not completely sure haven't used it myself.

How fast can you perform a normal double-click? Wouldn't be surprised if the mouse already has internal corrections for it.
>>
>>107718939
A "normal" double-click, a typical computer user averages between 140 ms and 190 ms for the interval between clicks.
Operating systems like Windows default to a 500 ms (0.5 second) window to ensure accessibility for broader groups such as the elderly or poop-colored "persons."
Experienced users including hardened gamers often land in the 80-150 ms range. In Windows, the fastest double-click setting is usually capped at 200 ms.
When a switch fails (due to oxidation or low wetting current), it may register a "bounce" or second click in a range of about 1-10 ms. This is far away from the 69ms maximum speed that any human has ever achieved an intended double-click with one finger (40ms may be achieve with two fingers).

If they would have used X11 and Tcl/Tk it would have taken 4 weeks of development.

>The development comes a little over a year after the tech giant [Google] disclosed that its transition to Rust led to a decline in memory safety vulnerabilities from 223 in 2019 to less than 50 in 2024.

>The company pointed out that Rust code requires fewer revisions, necessitating about 20% fewer revisions than their C++ counterparts, and has contributed to a decreased rollback rate, thereby improving overall development throughput.

>We adopted Rust for its security and are seeing a 1000x reduction in memory safety vulnerability density compared to Android's C and C++ code. But the biggest surprise was Rust's impact on software delivery," Google's Jeff Vander Stoep said. "With Rust changes having a 4x lower rollback rate and spending 25% less time in code review, the safer path is now also the faster one

>With roughly 5 million lines of Rust in the Android platform and one potential memory safety vulnerability found (and fixed pre-release), our estimated vulnerability density for Rust is 0.2 vuln per 1 million lines (MLOC).

>Our historical data for C and C++ shows a density of closer to 1,000 memory safety vulnerabilities per MLOC. Our Rust code is currently tracking at a density orders of magnitude lower: a more than 1000x reduction.

This one doesn't work for me, it gives EINVAL whenever a bucket has more than IOV_MAX=1024 vectors.
In the Rust code I don't make an iovec for each individual line, that was slower when I tried it. I allocate a big concatenated buffer per bucket in the parallelized section and then do a vectored write of those buffers.
The vectored write seemed to be just barely faster than one write per bucket but that's plausibly measurement noise. Being able to parallelize the buffering was a bigger deal.
