I don't mean to sound rude, but when I read comments like this, I wonder if I'm using the same model and tools?

I've done this many times over, and it's by far one of the least impressive things I've seen CC achieve with a good agent/skills/collab setup.


Link to your Youtube channel or Twitch stream?


Building a modern cross platform PostgreSQL DBA tool (and network service), with all the features I wish other tools had, with the hopes to extend it with features for small-medium teams - hyper focused on good DX/UX.


Absolute joke, most Australian parents will just ID for the kids, if the kids don't figure out how to get around it themselves, especially the typical ipad-kids and their parents.

The average Australian punter is getting absolutely screwed by our current government and all involved parties.


Because everything anti-establishment is a conspiracy, remember folks, trust the main stream media - they definitely aren't working hand in hand with intelligence agencies and corporations.


The YouTuber Milo Rossi [1], who debunks archaeological conspiracy theories (and makes educational content about archaeology) likes to say (paraphrasing slightly) "you don't need to make up conspiracy theories to be mad at the government, you can be mad at the actual government for what they actually do." Institutions/"the establishment" deserve skepticism but that skepticism has to be grounded in the real world and in evidence you can actually acquire. Not in supposition about a nebulous "they" pulling the strings. Conspiracy theories rapidly devolve into something entirely unfalsifiable.

A key smell test is: Does receiving pushback or counter evidence strengthen your conviction that you are correct? If so, you're going down a dangerous path. You're painting yourself into a corner where you will have a lot of trouble changing your mind, even if you're wrong.

The "main stream media" is the worst source, except for most of the other ones. It's not valuable because it is gospel - it's plain to see that the media is fallible. It's valuable because it adheres to any standard of evidence whatsoever while producing content at scale. It's like what people sometimes say about Wikipedia, it's the best place to begin your research but it doesn't have to end there.

The parallels with religion are obvious here too. I would guess that the fall or organized religion participation in America directly matches the rise in political zealotry and/or conspiracy theory belief. There’s always something people believe more strongly the more it is opposed.


To be honest, while there are definitely religious fundamentalists or literalists who suffer from this kind of thinking, I don't find it to be any less prevalent among people who identify as atheists or rationalists. It's a problem of rigid thinking, overcommitment to ideology, and being unwilling to question and overturn your premises. If you are willing to hold beliefs lightly, entertain ideas even if you do not accept them, and remain open to new evidence and to changing your mind, you're probably on the right track regardless of other factors.

A lot of religions teach that reality and God's will is mysterious and open to interpretation. That can be the cornerstone of an epistemic humility, if you cultivate it that way. (I'm agnostic for what it's worth.)

And definitely neither are any of the "alternative" sources you think are telling you the real truth.


Try enabling PBO and finding a setting for the curve optimizer that works for you, each CPU is different but -10/-15 is generally achievable - should reduce temperatures across the board and potentially give you some more performance.


The problem is that stable curve optimizer settings can vary hugely across cores

I had differences of like 20 or more between different cores... i.e. one core might work fine at -20, the other maybe only at +5.


Most definitely - you should always do your own stress testing with your specific CPU (and system) to find out what's stable.

And while all core CO might not be optimal, based on personal experience and what I've seen across multiple enthusiast communities, more often than not you can get an worthwhile improvement to temps/perf with an all core CO.

That being said, there are certainly ways to find and set the best CO values per core, but it will certainly take more effort, stress testing and time.


And even when said small country are gifted "defense" technology, they go and sell it to the gifter's (supposed) enemies.

Why do you need enemies with such "friends".


Wow, thanks for the link, I was close to buying a X1 Carbon or MBA - but this looks too good to pass up!


Looks interesting, but there are no estimated battery life specs.


Battery life is about the least meaningful spec there is, and it's insanely difficult to calculate. That and it's a small company so I'd imagine that'll just open up liability.

They do list the battery as 53.28Wh however. Let's do some back-of-the-envelope.

At 2.0GHz the 4750HQ TDP is 47W. Chipset TDP is 2.7W. SSDs are damn near negligible (typically a few mW idle, less than 1W when active, but they sleep/wake very very fast so they're mostly always idle). I couldn't find a datasheet on their panel, so I'm going to guess the display consumes around 5W at full brightness. RAM maxed out will cost around 3-6W.

Assuming awful power management (or just running the thing full bore), you're looking at a worst case of somewhere around 45m to 1h. Assuming decent power management (5W idle with screen on at less than full brightness) and occasional spikes due to light use you're looking at 8-10h, or 6-8h just to be safe if I was way off about the display. If you're really worried about it, the extra battery is very well priced at $95.

Edit: Nevermind - see a comment above that lists 3-4h of battery life.


I realize that the estimates aren't hard numbers, but if (e.g.) Apple estimates that the MacBook Air has 11 hours of battery life, I expect not to generally get 1 hour of battery life.
