Whether or not they lied is in the end an implementation detail - a skilled amoral persuader doesn't need to lie to mislead. The toolbox for that includes being biased in what facts you mention, making "mistakes," and using your own words to connect the wrong dots (basically every way to introduce an error can be abused). Tesla claims that the reporters are focusing on a healthcare provider that they cut ties with while ignoring what they are actually doing at present - which is one example of what you could do to make your readers believe wrong things without lying.

For users that care, a 1TB PCIe SSD currently costs a mere $230 (for the Samsung 970 EVO on Newegg, which has pretty impressive performance). Sure, that's slightly more expensive, but it's nowhere near the premium Apple are charging. On the other hand, users who don't need the extra performance still have to pay through the nose for it - and arguably the difference between SSD and HDD is more important from a user experience perspective than the difference between SATA and PCIe.
I wonder if it's possible to build down instead of up, or is it too expensive to excavate.

I've been an avid Apple user and supporter for many years, preached about the stability and the superior (tongue in cheek) hardware. I was waiting for a decent replacement for an ageing mini, but seriously Apple, at these prices?? It's insane. I've made up my mind after I saw the Apple event and reading/following the news of them hiding their sales numbers from now on [0].

I've switched over to Linux as my main desktop completely. While I've been using Windows for years, Windows 10 is just not doing it for me, even with WSL, it just feels limited and unpolished. Anyway, rant over.

On the other hand, these shady practices are a testament to AMD's technical superiority, as the incumbent is showing himself to be very desperate to react although it has absolutely no answer to AMD's new line of products.
People are missing the point about the integrated graphics. For me this is a feature not a bug because it has USB-C instead.

That means that instead of hopelessly compromising thermals and power supply with some power hungry, yet limited GPU (because of the small form factor) you simply buy the CPU and memory that you need. It simplifies the job of keeping it cool.

CPUs are evolving a lot slower these days. This one should last you many years before it becomes a problem. Having upgradeable memory all the way to 64GB means that too is not going to be a problem any time soon. It means that a mac mini should have a serviceable life of 3-5 years or more if you are less of a power user.

Additionally, you plugin an eGPU of your choice and additional storage via USB-C. Better, when improved eGPUs become available, you can sell your old one and buy a new one without having to tear the machine apart. They also don't overtax and compromise your power supply or cooling.

I currently have an imac 5K that is nearly 5 years old now. I maxed it out at the time with all the bells and whistles and it has served me well. So, money well spent despite the shocking price initially.

I'd totally consider spending 3-4K on a setup with a mac mini, decent eGPU + monitor, and external ssd storage (I actually have a Samsung 2TB T5 already). The new imac pro would cost more and deliver less value. What I like about this setup is that it is completely modular and I can replace individual components without having to worry breaking the other components.

I imagine the mac pro next year will also emphasize expansion and upgrades through USB-C rather than internals. Basically the old model without dedicated GPU and upgradable Xeon CPUs + Memory would be exactly the right product right now. Egpus can be replaced easily and with a solid base configuration, a pro machine should have a long productive life.

In Marco's defence he has slated Apple for what they are doing to the laptop line for the last few years. If he didn't like it I am certain he would have given a bad review.

Right. My point is that when assessing the level of resources the US devotes to ambulances, there's room to argue about whether the responders are highly trained or not. Paramedics certainly are, I'm not sure about (especially newly licensed) EMTs.
Combustion is exothermic oxidization; that's something completely unrelated to carbon. E.g. hydrogen burns in presence of oxygen, releasing water. Or magnesium burns into magnesium oxide. It so happens that most of the fuels we burn have carbon in them, but that's not a requirement.

Anandtech's article has more technical details and discussion:

https://www.anandtech.com/show/13535/intel-goes-for-48cores-...

The most pertinent technical questions and concern seems to be around the interconnects, since inter-die bandwidth and latency are big factors in performance. I think the major surprise/disappointment there is that within the MCM they apparently are not using their Embedded Multi-die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB) which was supposed to be their next-gen interposer replacement. They have been pretty flowery about it, right up to on the official page [1] having fun with a Star Wars riff and calling EMIB "an Elegant Interconnect for a More Civilized Age". Looks like it's all UPI here though. According to Cutress it also isn't clear exactly how many UPI link are used between the two sockets.

It's not like MCM usage is some necessarily exotic thing, IBM has been doing it in various forms including for POWER forever. Even beyond TDP however Intel's approach here definitely seems kind of "odd" to put it neutrally. I think if this is going to be a major part of their strategy going forward they'll need a different approach, but for that very reason I wonder if this is more of a one-off placeholder?

The only "algorithm" proven to fight poverty was discovered a long time ago and its really simple:

2. decent, free education (so the children can have a future)
3. Well funded social welfare (because shit happens and people get sick)

Aka, "social mobility"

The problems of the MTA aren't solved by switching to something that won't fix the problems of the MTA. They're solved by fixing the MTA. And even its currently-degraded state it can't be replaced by any other mode at rush hour. There is literally no physical way to fit enough vehicles on the road to replace even shitty subway service.
So, I work as what is effectively a sysadmin role for a decently large deployment in a decently large company and I can say that we're buying EPYC for some stuff but not everything _yet_.

Build farms, where there's a lot of compute needed and it doesn't really matter the reliability of the systems, for instance, have EPYC. Some workstations have Threadripper (nobody has Ryzen) as time goes on, with AMD beating Intel in the middle market, we will expand from builders to VM farms, from VM farms to bare metal hosting, from bare metal hosting to underpinning entire projects.

It will take another 2 years of AMD being on top for our company to favour AMD. But I think it's possible.

I’ve seen a couple articles about this problem but never quite understood what the difference was between it and simply the number of permutations. This paragraph from the article does a great job (finally!) show casing it in an example:

> If a television series has just three episodes, there are six possible orders in which to view them: 123, 132, 213, 231, 312 and 321. You could string these six sequences together to give a list of 18 episodes that includes every ordering, but there’s a much more efficient way to do it: 123121321.

Rephrasing it a bit, the problem is generating the shortest string of tokens (with repetition of the N tokens) in which every possible permutation of those N tokens is a substring.
"I advised Will on why ambulances should be reserved for life or limb threatening injuries and that every ambulance that is thoughtlessly called for a non-life-threatening injury is one less ambulance that is available to actually save a life rather than be used as a convenience."

What a load of absolute garbage. Shame. There are plenty, PLENTY of ambulances to go around. This isn't some wartime situation where medical care should only go to those about to die.

A few years back my wife had a back injury that prevented her from walking. We called an ambulance, and it was the best decision both according to her (who couldn't move) the ambulance paramedics, and the doctors at the hospital. Her injuries WERE NOT LIFE THREATENING, but she still required an ambulance to transport her without further injuring her back and potentially causing paralysis. Again, not life threatening, just paralysis - no big deal right?

Australia has compulsory voting in the sense that you have to show up to a polling place and have your name crossed off the roll.

What you write on the ballot paper is up to you (oh yeah, voting is done with pencil and paper, not voting machines), and there's no penalty for casting an invalid vote, and no way of checking whether or not your vote is valid - you just put your paper in the box and walk out.
The same goes for foreign aid. There is definitely immediate help warranted in the case natural disasters, and the outbreaks of war, and some longer-term help when displaced people are unable to return to their homes. However, a lot of foreign aid ends up being cases where taxpayers fund questionable projects spearheaded by politicians and run by multinationals, consultants, and contractors with dismal results. The main cause I see is that the local population being helped often has poor or skewed representation as a stakeholder in the decision-making process such that the outcome becomes unhelpful or doomed.

Yes, especially on Mac, high DPI on Linux is still garbage to this day. It's not really good on Windows either, but at least with Windows 10, it is somewhat serviceable. On Linux, support is so abysmal, it is really comical in 2018. Moreover, it seems the dev community still hasn't "seen the light" in high DPI displays, and will often dismiss or backlog required changes for support. In 2018.

"Science is never settled, but arrives at increasingly accurate approximations of reality."

Not necessarily and that's certainly not settled. Kuhns paradigms is another way to think about it than Poppers idea of building knowledge as bricks that create a house. I am not convinced knowledge works the way we normally think about it.

Furthermore "climate science" is not actually following the scientific principles as it's not falsifiable for obvious reasons.

"Climate science" is metascience in the sense that it builds on and interprets data which has its own set of issues besides the issues with data modeling.

There are plenty of examples of mistakes, false predictions, cheating with the data etc. that anyone who wants to have an opinion on this should be really really really careful how much we actually can demonstrate vs. how much is speculated. Just taking it on faith that the scientific community is in agreement about a lot of the details is simply misguided.

There are plenty of theories around natural fluctuations even big ones like this (and bigger) so the trick IMO is not discussion whether humans are affecting it as we can't change that and will not change that, in fact, if we did it probably would lead to more death than the consequences of flooding and it certainly will lead to more poor people without any means to deal with the ever-changing climate.

You and others seem to be of the impression that nature is fundamentally friendly and safe towards us and we are destroying it, my position is that nature is fundamentally hostile and dangerous and that we are using technology to be safer from it. Yes, that has consequences but I take those any day compared to becoming paralyzed by trying to solve a problem that is many times more complex than any other things we have ever solved before. CopX is a great example of just how little our global initiatives help.

Flying less, eating less meat isn't the solution to the problem, more actual science, engineering and entrepreneurship and making people richer so they start caring about their close environment is.
Tired meme, Windows drivers are the only ones you have to "fiddle" with out of band, I can't even think of another OS where going to a third-party website to download an executable is how you install drivers for the machine. (Not OSX, not BSD, not Linux).

Buy any desktop in any supermarket in the world and it's going to work out of the box with the latest Ubuntu. This has been the case for 5 years now.

If you have some weird hardware that needs a kernel module that isn't enabled by default or packaged as a kms for your distro, then sure I can definitely see some awkwardness there, but for instance I haven't had so much as a wifi problem in 10 years.

Definitely a stark contrast to Windows where you have to go to the manufacturer website for each component of your machine if you're not using the bloated OS that comes pre-installed.

I think it must strongly depend on your use case and exact hardware, because those exact reasons in my case are an argument against windows. I have to download and install what in order to get driver support? How many tray icons can one person possibly need? It's the worst in my experience with printers and scanners; "please install this 300MB package which will constantly run in the background and annoy you at the least convenient time to replace your ink - oh, and in three months we're going to completely change the interface and replace it with something that doesn't even support feature that you're using". Or, hear me out, I could install CUPS and xsane (or another sane frontend) and be done. Driver support is indeed hit-or-miss, but when it hits there's absolutely no work at all. (Exception: if your printer isn't already supported, you can often find and download a single small file to add support; CUPS is beautiful)
