The "prior" is "am I going to win the lottery". It's borderline facetious to argue that buying two tickets significantly affects your probability.

I wonder if that's because the target audience is people directing/producing (commercial) videos, rather than games.

Buying two lottery tickets doubles your probability of winning. Does it significantly move your priors?

He's just a niche populist.

Smugly professing prediction ability years after being categorically wrong, digging in and doubling down, it's not a good look.

According to looking at a 1,000 line code file on my machine right now, a million lines is about 48mb. You think > 10 million lines of code are required for security in an app?

502 for me. I'm interested in this for sure, though!

Being able to test future models without fear that your prompt has just been trained on an answer on HN, I assume.

Nice! I went for the Anbernic 40xxH and it's a joy to use. The only thing I wish worked differently was Retro Achievements working offline!

Tangentially related - I recently picked up a retro gaming handheld from Aliexpress for the meagre sum of £50, which is capable of playing consoles from gameboy to snes to playstation 1, and apparently even a smattering of N64 and dreamcast (with poor performance).

There are a dizzying array of options (game boy form factor, horizontal, clamshell design ala the advance SP), and although I'm sure the build quality leaves a lot to be desired, for my personal circumstances of "I'm travelling a lot but can't quite justify a steam deck right now" it has truly been an utter delight. There's a scene of various custom firmwares to install, and apps for these firmwares to add various functionality.

I'd encourage anyone who feels a desire to play some emulated games check out /r/SBCGaming to see what's out there!

Just don't ignore the warnings that these devices don't negotiate USB C charging correctly, and also buy yourself a very small weak charger...

They are talking about using an external laptop cooler, I believe. Not feasible for some but if you do 90% of your work at your desk then it certainly makes sense as a suggestion.

Not sure on the technicalities but as a brit I'd read that without pause, it's perhaps informal at worst.

I'd love to see an analysis of proposed reforms since 2010 that have tried to do anything other than move the NHS towards not being socialized medicine. I suspect the list would be vanishingly small.

Maybe this is me "weaponising" the NHS but you're going to have to provide a bit more evidence if you're making such a bold claim.

It's already illegal to not disclose passwords when ordered to do so in the UK.

Sure, the US freedom of speech amendment protects more powerfully than in most countries. But I wouldn't be so confident once the rest of the world has given up

I agree there should be a military and a defense industry which is _different_ from our current system. I believe anyone working for the _current_ system is likely to be causing harm greater than the good they also cause.

Malevolent implies intent. I'm sure that there are non evil people who are working for BAE. I'm also sure that the vast majority of them have facilitated far more innocent death than worthy defense of life.

> casualties suffered by our armed forces in combat would be far higher

I have not supported any of the military action my nation has taken in my lifetime and any casualties are primarily a result of the greed (for power, votes, or wealth) of those in power. The lack of equipment has acutely caused casualties, but the existence of the military industrial complex has caused the wars in which they take place.

I'm not saying I have the great solution to end all war and create world peace. But I can't see a reason other than naivety, apathy, or propaganda that someone could work for BAE and think they are doing good in the world.

Sure. I do not argue that we should abolish the military and all defence industry. I _do_ argue that the military industrial complex is by and large profit driven and motivated by greed not the desire to protect its citizens. I do believe that anyone working for, for example, BAE systems is on average making the world a (much) worse place. I don't believe the individuals involved are necessarily morally bankrupt themselves.
