The problem is that in this case human delivering the code would have no idea that the code is proprietary.

I wouldn’t advise licking calciums:

The chemistry of calcium is that of a typical heavy alkaline earth metal. For example, calcium spontaneously reacts with water more quickly than magnesium but less quickly than strontium to produce calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. It also reacts with the oxygen and nitrogen in air to form a mixture of calcium oxide and calcium nitride.[14] When finely divided, it spontaneously burns in air to produce the nitride. Bulk calcium is less reactive: it quickly forms a hydration coating in moist air, but below 30% relative humidity it may be stored indefinitely at room temperature.[15]

Because calcium reacts exothermically with water and acids, calcium metal coming into contact with bodily moisture results in severe corrosive irritation.[59] When swallowed, calcium metal has the same effect on the mouth, oesophagus, and stomach, and can be fatal.[46] However, long-term exposure is not known to have distinct adverse effects.[59]

Because of vigorous reaction of quicklime with water, quicklime causes severe irritation when inhaled or placed in contact with moist skin or eyes.

That is just plain not true. If you are a enthusiast and know where to look then you definitely can find better deal than framework, but getting a dell (or even better dell?) for half of the price is simple not true.

On Dell website https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/new-xps-14-laptop/spd/xps-da14260-laptop, a core ultra 7 358H with 32GB Ram and 1TB SDD is 2749$ with no touch screen and a 2K display and windows Home.

On framework website https://frame.work/products/laptop13pro-intel-ultra-3/configuration/new, the same processor, ram, storage, with 2.8k touch screen, plus windows pro cost 2299$

Framework is cheaper than dell if you don’t try to find deals or buy older models.

If you buy older models, then framework don’t need to replace ram, I can upgrade my laptop to kitted out ryzen AI 9 for only 849$, https://frame.work/products/mainboard-amd-ai300?v=FRANTE0009 with my existing 64GB of ram. I don’t think you can get any laptop close to that quality with this price.

AppImage defended and used grossly outdated core component like FUSE2 for a long time, and comes with zero sandboxing by default.

IMO, flatpak needs to improve in terms of security, but it is a strict improvement over AppImage.

oh Sorry, bad at reading comprehensions :(

I thought the post you are replying to is trying explain borrow checker. In a understandable manner assuming you know basic programming in Java.

I am a bit confused on what your complaint is aiming at…

Nope, not on intel core ultra 3 unfortunately (unless you have LPCAMM2 lying around, which is unlikely), that is the risky part I mentioned in the end.

If you have a desktop with internet connection, maybe a USB stick would suffice?

There is also USB tethering from a phone that could work.

I am not defending framework. They should try to do better (maybe windows is the bottleneck? not sure). Just offering solutions to people who might encounter this problem later.

You also likely don’t need to reinstall/resetup everything, which is absolutely painful.

I would like to offer a slightly different perspective: I believe framework is uniquely positioned to survive the ram apocalypse (at least respect to their scale).

In the sense that, framework user can keep purchasing and upgrading components, like battery, screen, speaker, hinge, expansion card, without needing to worry about ram prices, and framework can profit from these component without needing to subsidize ram prices.

That being said, as a smaller company, they certainly don’t have the same amount of bargaining power on ram as most big players, and the launch of LPCAM2 is a bit risky, since that pervents people from purchasing new ram/board/laptops given the current ram prices.

And I don’t see why that is a problem. If a company is doing good thing and sustaining itself, I don’t see why they will need to be the next dell, hp, or lenovo. That feels like the toxicity of “endless growth” in the capitalistic view of the world.

Not to mention in most of the place I go to, these are the most popular laptops only behind macbooks. In many situations, they are even more popular than macbooks.

To me the point of framework is that it can reliably endure amateur (aka me) repair.

I have repaired a fair amount of device in my life, companies without a focus on repair will have fragile cabel and components. And everytime I open it up, there would be a high chance of me breaking something, forcing me to use a broken device after that.

Repair and cleaning will need to happen every two or three years for most electronics, and that usually means I will live with a corky device for the next two years, then produce a bunch of ewastes consists of mostly perfectly functioning parts, with one failed critical component (most of the time, said component has not even failed, just significantly worn).

I feel this way precisely because I keep doing new and novel things: there are so much to learn, think, and try out, I feel I am constantly in a rush.

When I was younger, I either have well-defined task or I would hit technical blocks that I need to stop for a long time. Now, I get higher expectations and is also more skilled. I am in a constant race against my own ideas and desires to try new things…

It is cool and fulfilling but it is terribly exhausting most of the time :(

I see your point, but to give that particular game scene plenty of benefit of the doubt: that pod transports a spartan. It is possible that he intensionally disabled the slow deceleration, because he can handle the impact.

They do slow down after a bit:

Once nearing the ground, drop pods activate a drag chute (more formally termed a “Drogue Panel”[10]) formed from the upper-most panels. The chute deploys and begins to slow down the pod’s descent. Once about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) from the ground, a series of computer-controlled retrothrusters engage and rapidly decelerate the pod such that it can impact safely.

Also most (not all) drop pod deployments are used by specialized troop like ODST or spartans:

Of these, the UNSC are particularly reliant on the use of drop pods thanks to the aptly-named Orbital Drop Shock Troopers; specialised shock troops who specialise in the use of drop pods to insert behind enemy lines and conduct special missions.[7][8] Although the ODSTs are the primary users of drop pod insertions in the UNSC, both Spartans and regular Marine forces may also use them.[9]

For people who are not aware, “Yao-Shun-Yu” are the first three (half-mythical) kings of China. They are famous for their altruism and kindness.

At this point, I am not even sure naming robots after human rulers is dystopian or not.

Let’s imagine that AI will become cheaper and more efficient, it will not differ from humans in terms of the quality of its work, it will replace almost all intellectual workers.

You can say the same thing in the first industrial revolution: “let’s imagine the machine will replace all physical labor.”

But till this day, they have not been able to do that.

This might be controversial, but I want yet another code editor.

Hear me out, I write very little code, but often in widely different programming languages. Most of the time I write LaTeX and/or Typst all day, so I need:

1. an editor that sandbox really well, there is no way I am trusting all my coding environment with my entire user space.
2. an editor that don’t require much tinkering: if it can get to 80% there, I am welling to learn the rest, but I don’t want an editor that get 20% there and force me to pull 80 different package just to do things.
3. preview LaTeX and Typst within the sandbox, ideally just in editor, so I don’t need to configure synctex.
4. not controlled by a big tech like Microsoft.

So far, I am only able to find vscodium that is close to my desire, but it is still mostly controlled by Microsoft.
