How feasible would it be for laptop manufacturers to add a slot in a laptop's underside cover to the CPU's heat pipe, and adjust the heat pipe's shape at this location? This would allow a dock to insert its own heat pipe through it, and dissipate the heat with larger fans and/or larger heat sink.

For Macbook Air there was DIY solutions where people added thermal pads to conduct the heat to the aluminium chassis and then use external cooling on that [1]. Since Air just has passive cooling, this gave major boost for long running tasks.

An excellent idea. There's a certain class of laptops that were never meant to be used on one's lap- at best merely portable e.g. Dell precision specced at 240w.

If the pad contact locks together for heat transfer it could also function as a security lock.

The dock could have a water cooling loop under your desk to dry your boots while you work.


Not quite the same, but there are laptops with external water cooling that connect to internal piping inside the laptop when placed on the dock:

It would risk the user touching the heatpipe during work, which is quite toasty under heavy load.

> I hate ads too, but you’re going to have to pay for the content somehow.

The person you are replying to said they already pay videographers in an other way: Nebula.


I meant the content on platforms like YouTube.

Then if ads on YouTube are no longer profitable enough, they'll move to a different funding model, like patron-only videos or Nebula. And YouTube will have to innovate to keep them on YouTube, eg. by charging its users more so they can pay videographers more.

MongoDB had consistency issues when running as a distributed system, that's expected if you read Jepsen's reviews. Meanwhile, ParticleDB had bugs like this when running as a single node:

    root=> CREATE TABLE t
           (a int primary key, b int);
    root=> INSERT INTO t VALUES (4, 5), (5, 6);
    root=> SELECT * FROM t WHERE b = 4;
     a | b
    ---+---
     4 | 5

MongoDB could lose your data on a single instance after acknowledged write. And corrupt the entire database in case of server crash.

Yes, this is worse, but in both case the root cause was human carelessness, not AI.


The old joke was that MongoDB copied MySQL's BLACKHOLE very well.

I'm not familiar with Goose, but I'm guessing you could define a single stack and put your dynamically sized values in it. Essentially rewriting a memory allocator on top of Goose's stacks. This is what they seem to be doing here: https://github.com/aardappel/goose/blob/master/samples/13_li...


Yeah, that looks like a freelist approach. That will work as long as the values you're allocating are all fixed-size. You'll need something much more complicated if you want arbitrarily sized values

That example implements a linked list of integers. I'm curious how you would do a linked list of strings


you can make each string a linked list of bytes (or chunks of bytes). But it won't be efficient.

No, neither of those do what I said. These are just redirectors but you need an extra step and once you've been redirected you're on that site for the remainder of your session. Furthermore, I've been redirected to unhealthy instances frequently from them.


Potentially all of the above as long as they are not tested in court.


bluebarbet meant it should be "Gen Z and its parents".


Both "Gen Z and their…" and "Gen Z and its…" are fine. I personally prefer to treat a group as a plural.

"The class tossed their graduation caps in the air" strikes me as less clumsy than its alternatives.


Well, considering Gen Z is a group of people who has parents, their works just fine. "my Mom" "my Dad" ... parents are usually referred to as entities the child has. And Gen Z is a plurality of people.


No, it shouldn't. It's perfectly valid to refer to the members of a group rather than the group itself.


Do they count as export if the owner doesn't change?


If central banks sell their gold in the US and buy new gold abroad (to save themselves physically transporting the gold across the ocean[0]), I suspect that the demand this creates for gold abroad will ultimately cause US gold exports to rise, too.

[0]: See the link in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50134172


Selling it in place neatly sidesteps suspicion about how secure the NY gold really is and if it's all really still there, too.


If this suspicion existed then you'd see a spread between (gold price in the US) and (gold price outside the US)


When Trump screwed with the tariffs we saw exactly that. Arbitrarily messing with tariffs is one of the risks that causes people to think keeping gold in the US is not entirely safe.


Not necessarily. If relations are good, people are willing to look the other way a lot.


Either way, you aren't left holding the bag, you're giving the bag to speculators.


Do they count as export if the owner doesn't change?

I don't know. Does it count as export if it's not moved an inch?


For the inference APIs, which need to bill users. It's unclear why OpenCode's servers (presumably) had access to the API credentials.


They function similar to openrouter BYOK.


Because people cut and pasted them in.


Maybe they support cloud agents.
