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?

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.

Well then, Mandelbrot rendering it is ... :-)

The Z-80 coprocessor card for the Apple II was pretty good. :-)

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.

A laptop cooling pad is a great investment for such a machine.

That is sometimes an intentionally engineered situation used to garner more attention and manufacture confidence.
You really need to know how many units were manufactured. If only enough for some fraction of early adopters, its not so meaningful to run out.

$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.

No, you're missing that it being irrelevant is the point.

So...there's really a shed that people build to store bicycles?

Again, is this a European thing? I've never heard of a shed dedicated to storing bikes....I can see this is brewing used as an analogy for something else, but the shed/bike concept itself is foreign to me.

Most people rarely ever change a time zone....a good number never leave the one they are born into....

changing my stone sundial twice a year is really, really hard work.

You are an absolute fucking idiot if you think Ilan Omar, Abdul El-Sayed, and others of their ilk would not make a hard push for Sharia as soon as they felt they had a shot of doing so. It's a gradual push. The Islamists are smart enough to know their anti-American ideology is highly unpopular and thus will have to go slow with it at first.

Source: thousands of years of history. Whenever a sizable portion of Muslims invade a nation, they eventually conquer it. Turkey and Iran for example were once free nations.

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.
