I would struggle to ascertain the day-to-day difference between GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.5 tbh. Also, imho, Fable is highly hyped, I don't think it is dramatically better than Opus 4.8. Maybe my tasks and interaction with AI is relatively simple (i.e., lots of Rust programming, Linux system engineering stuff).

I run a 13900T unlocked (meaning, it runs 35W TDP at idle, 1.1ghz, but is allowed to peak to 210W for up to a minute, with the hugest Noctua D14something I could fit on it). It runs at ~29c idle, peaks to 80ish celsius at 210W (~4.5ghz over all cores - songle core peaking to 5.3ghz).

For a time I ran it 24/7 without suspend. It's a big system, lots of disks, expansion cards, etc. If it doesn't suspend, and doesn't do anything remarkable, it uses about ~5kWh per day. Needless to say, it suspends after 60 minutes now (my daily energy usage went from ~9 to ~4 kWh).

The line link failed. It's line 38:

"Refuse to build in Arch package environments. My license does not allow for packages, and I'm sick of dealing with people complaining about things broken by packagers. This is why we can't have nice things."

    if($ENV{DEBUGINFOD_URLS} MATCHES ".*archlinux.*")
        message(FATAL_ERROR "Unsupported environment.")

Hey, I just wanted to congratulate you with a very impressive release, the software looks amazing, and I think I will give it a try pretty soon. A question: I see only subscription pricing; is a lifetime licence possible, or a licence like the way jetbrains does it (you pay for version, and maintain the right to keep using the version that was available when the license/subscrition expires, you can re-activate any time).

I'm particularly interested in this "field". I've build something similar many moons ago [1], in the same spirit, but much more primitive. I later started a company around an evolved idea, where the structure you sort of see in your screenshots is effectively a DAG with arbitrary depth (we didn't manage to release it unfortunately, complexity overtook us).

In any case, much congratulations + good luck with the launch!

Would that be comparing to Windows on Zen4 or to Linux on Zen4? On Windows I've noted that especially forking performance takes a big hit which causes many dynamic languages that do stuff with say invoking a runtime binary being 100s of times slower on windows (tried with bash and python).

Very recognizable.. I've done a few projects at large-scale government and retail where me and team have been brought in after-the fact to fix "performance" and tech-debt issues with these things. In particular these platforms: "Be Informed" and "MuleSoft AnyPoint".

The story is exactly like the fine article mentions. Heavy reliance on proprietary stuff making the organization heavily reliant on very expensive consultants to get stuff done, no way to sanely version things..

I now go out of my way to avoid working rescue jobs like these, unless the client is actively migrating away from them.

Heh, that one about the states resonated with me as well, even more generally instead of specifically the US, but I guess to my own consumerism.. I have 1200+ music albums, 800+ games, 400+ books.. Too much of everything! A blessing and a curse at once.

I have answered to another poster in a bit more detail, but a conservative estimate with moderate to a few moments of heavy usage is ~9 hours. I have done 11+ on pure-coding stints (no video, no games).

Yeah, good point. I wrote them as ``` ``` blocks in markdown, and it doesn't wrap apparently. Will look into if I can tell Jekyll to do something there (would not prefer to escape everything hard-coded to 80 lines or some-such).

Update: Ha! I got this working. I added a "code { white-space: pre-wrap !important;}" css line in the <style> section of my custom html header. Seems to look much better.

Hey, yeah sure! Erm, let's see. So I use libvirt and QEMU/KVM, where libvirt is essentially an api that makes interfacing with QEMU and KVM more consistent and nicer.

Then I use virsh (command-line) and/or virt-manager (gui) to create virtual machines (these in turn talk to libvirt). The machines kan be anything Qemu supports, so you can emulate PA-RISC, Alpha, Mips, ARM, i386, AMD64, you name it. You can then install OS'es on them. There are some freaks out there that have been running Windows NT MIPS and HP-UX 10.20 for PA-RISC on it.

Most of my machines are doing KVM, which essentially is hardware-assisted virtualization. This requires the VM to be AMD64 though.

I currently run 10 virtual machines:

castel (rhel6) - chimera (chimera-linux) - dragon (dragonflybsd6) - falcon (freebsd13) - gygax (guix) - haiku (haiku) - nomon (netbsd9) - seven (win7) - square (winnt) - xenon (alpine)

You have a gui to these things (and SSH of course) through Spice. With the right drivers and agents (not available for all operating systems) you even have automatic guest display resizing, mouse in/out, copy/paste, etc.

Hey, yeah sure, let's see. I started working this morning at 07:45, it's now 13:45. I had a 20 minute video conference call and watched two 15 minute videos on Youtube. At idle, I had ~3 watts, doing small typing things, coding, I had ~5 watts. During the conference call I had ~15 watts and during the Youtube videos powertop reported ~9 watts.

So have been going for 6 hours, definitely some heavier CPU usage during the conference call and youtube videos, current battery is at 33% and indicates (based on my current usage: updating my blog and firefox'ing around) 3 hours and 45 minutes left.

FWIW, I'm a recent owner of a Framework Laptop 13, 13th gen 1370p. I am extremely happy with it. w/regards to battery life, I'm doing ~4.5watts idling/text-editing, screen on, wifi on. That is more efficient that I got out of my 5850u I had before this. I get about 9ish hours of battery life. You do need to run things like thermald, tlp and set the lower tdp setting in the bios (max battery setting lowers the tdp afaik). Fan barely turns on. I could probably take it further with ectool tweaks. Edit: to add, powertop is your friend! measure. Anything above 6watts usually means something is doing something (this ball-park 6watts comes from experience, last 3ish devices - anything lower than that whilst doing things == great. I do about 8ish watts when using VA-API to play video for example, which I find very reasonable + similar to my previous 5850u).
