Not a Linux machine, but 14 and 16 inch MBPs with something like the Vivid app do really well in sunlight in light mode. I enjoy working outside on mine.

I was looking for a 40-43in 4K TV for PC monitor use, considered the LG C series, but it wouldn't work in my bright room.

I went with Samsung QN90C instead and I'm super happy with it. It's very bright, fights glare well, and there's Jellyfin for it.

Aren't AI GPUs a drop in the bucket compared to consumer electronics?

Nvidia sold ~3M blackwells in 2025: https://wccftech.com/nvidia-has-sold-over-three-million-blac...

Compare that to laptops which sell in tens of millions per manufacturer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laptop_brands_and_manu...

Plus, it's way easier to collect boards for recycling from a centralized data center.

>Exactly my thoughts. I really admired the design and how far WSL1 got. It is just sad to see it abandoned.

But why was it better, other than aesthetic preference?

Ragas also has a feature to generate ground truths and queries: https://docs.ragas.io/en/latest/getstarted/testset_generatio... Although simply prompting an LLM with chunks of source documents might work better / cheaper - ragas tends to explode with retries in my experience.

>The universe is trillions of times larger than we currently think it is

Why do you think that?

ARM Windows seems to be able to run x86 apps, though. I use an ARM Windows on an M1 mac to run BMW E-Sys and it works well enough.

I cannot find the mac app anywhere. Is there a link?

There are thousands of porn consumers with destroyed reward circuitry per every porn actor, of which few are mistreated and the majority are compensated very well.

Producing a neverending supply of wireheading-like addictive stimuli is the farthest possible thing from a good for humanity.

Want to do good in this area - work on ways to limit consumption.

The ability to exert power and influence over things you value continues to scale with money. There's more to life than consumption.
