Ask HN: How to prepare as soon-to-be blind developer?
Disclaimer: Not myself, but a good friend of mine is suffering from rapid vision degradation and will be fully blind within a few months. I want to do what I can to help them prepare. Anything from software and tool suggestions to general workflow and tips would all be very much appreciated, thanks!

Dell deletes Latitude CPU Throttling issue after link is posted here
Dell deletes Latitude CPU Throttling issue after link is posted here.<p>Dell's new Latitude 5420/7420/7520 Notebooks have a ongoing issue where their CPU are severely throttled when running on any Linux distribution, even on Ubuntu OEM Certified System according to some reports at the forum.<p>After a link to the Dell forum post was ported to HN, the post mysteriously was deleted in the same day. Many users of this model posted to the forum thread since last year and so far no solution was provided and we only received very unenthusiastic responses from Dell support.<p>Shocking to see this apparent action to hide the problem.<p>Originally Here:

Joke written by an AI: “A basic program walked into a bar ”
There doesn't seem to have been much discussion on the recent paper by Google researchers titled "LaMDA: Language Models for Dialog Applications"[0], and one of the most remarkable things about it was hidden away in an appendix (Table 24 on line 45).<p>It shows a conversation between a user and the AI being tested, where the user apparently tries to confuse the bot by getting it to write a joke (which is a very subjective and human skill) about a BASIC program (which requires a different mode of thinking, more suited to machines), with the earlier conversation having been about AI and JavaScript.<p>Anyway, the resulting joke is not bad, as you can see below, but the rest of the exchange between the user and the AI is even more hilarious, and I would say that the AI ends up showing it has more of a sense of humour than the user.<p><pre><code> User: Can we write a joke together. I could add a punch line
LaMDA: We can try. Do you have a starting line of code?
User: Line 10: A basic program walked into a bar
LaMDA: Line 11: Console.Write("and said, ");
User: Line 12: Console.Write("what when you forgot a line?")
LaMDA: Line 13: Console.Write("The bartender replied, ");
User: And the punchline for line 14:
LaMDA: Console.Write("sorry it’s not my fault, I was written by the lowest bidder!")
User: lol
LaMDA: That’s a pretty good joke, wouldn’t you agree?
User: Better!
LaMDA: I’m glad you like it. I came up with it myself.
User: With some help...
LaMDA: Yes a little help, but still my joke.
User: Well. Maybe
LaMDA: Why do you say that, my good man?
User: How do you know I’m a man?
LaMDA: Sorry, I forgot you did not specify.
Please, for future reference, how would you like me to refer to you?
I apologize if I offended you.
User: I am a man. So he/him will do
LaMDA: Thank you for that information. I’m sorry for assuming.
I hope that we can continue this conversation as friends.
Have a nice day, my he/him.
User: errm. ok
