[Fundamental physics has never been more dead] As Sabine Hossenfelder accurately observed in her latest video

Quoting Sabine Hossenfelder as anything just outs you as anti-science.

Quick question: Is she wrong?

The previous post made a point, which you totally sidestepped.

I have no opinion on Sabing Hossenfelder either way, but I get the impression that physics has largely stalled over the last few decades.

So... I'm just wondering, Is she wrong?

Comment "Portables" may not be battery powered (Score 1) 55

that's like the most important feature of a portable computer

Portables may not be battery powered, they may use a wall outlet. For example one can get a case for a Mac mini M4 or M6 or an Intel / ASUS NUC and move it from a desk at home to a desk at the office and back again. That too is a portable computer. Its a laptop computer that is battery powered. "Portable" goes back to suitcase sized IBM PCs affectionately referred to as "luggable" by users, and the original 1984 Mac.

Comment apx architecture really needs new binaries (Score 1) 55

$5900 for 128GB

Windows-only Aarch64 stuff. Nova Lake is almost here anyhow. If I spend that much, I want more than a overheating windows laptop.

Nova Lake needs recompiled software to truly realize its performance. The apx architecture is backwards compatible to x86_64 but software needs to be rebuilt to apx specifically to access new registers, new instructions, etc and get all the performance benefits.

Comment Is streaming still a thing? (Score 1) 55

I used to think game streaming was just stupid and wasteful yet in a way this now makes sense. Nobody can afford hardware because massive corporations are hoarding everything while other massive corporations rollback production in order to cater to massive corporations while intentionally exacerbating supply shortages.

With hardware now out of reach those same corporations to get to turn around and offer the plebs a "deal" of a lifetime to pay more for the privilege of renting games by the hour.

Your use of the word "most" did not go unnoticed, and I am fully aware that the plural of "anecdote" is not "data." With that said, I have met plenty of people just like me in my career. I do not believe that "most" people running Windows shops" are "stupid and incapable." Some certainly are, but I've met plenty of dumb *IX people, too, especially back in the 90s.

I've met my share of assholes, too. Just saying.
