Something sounds wrong. I have an older 21.5 with the first generation 1 TB fusion and it is not at all slow.
Have you used the 5,400 RPM iMac? It's incredibly laggy out of the box. Even booting takes 1-3 full minutes. It crunches just opening apps. With all that other hardware, it's just a waste: you're drinking an i7 through a straw.
No, that's not what I meant. Most cultural diversity is good, amazing even. I refuse to accept the concept of "cultural appropriation" (e.g. a non-Arab eating or making hummus), and replace it by "cultural appreciation" instead. I wish there's more mixing of cultures, languages, clothing styles, cuisines (fusion is the best!), worldviews, etc.

The problem is when cultures disagree on the fundamental principles that run society. For example, Western civilisation (according to current mainstream views, which are not necessarily correct or sustainable) clashes mainly on freedom of speech (with Islam), rule of law (with China and other totalitarian cultures), rights of women & minorities (with Islam and Orthodox Judaism), sex (with Islam & Christianity), marriage (with Christianity & Islam) etc. I don't really see a solution except for one side to give up their principles, and I sincerely hope it's not the Western Civ (except when it comes to marriage, I'm very live and let live so I see nothing wrong with polygamy)!
Historically this was more tractable because driver code was much simpler and there was a lot of cloning/emulation of "legacy" hardware interfaces (a lot of this is still present on PC, despite vendors' desire to get rid of it). Typically either the hardware capabilities were fundamentally narrower in scope than modern hardware or the hardware had its own controller (sometimes with more raw power than the host CPU...) that implemented an abstract interface. A bare-metal VGA driver for a single mode is no more than a few dozen lines of code, whereas a modern GPU driver stack literally has an optimizing compiler built into it.
One word: hackintosh.
I mean... they will notice that their computer sucks, but they might not know why. 5400 rpm is a joke considering you can buy a 7200 rpm drive with belly button lint and a serviceable SSD for $100 or less. There are budget laptops at Best Buy you can get with 7200 rpm drives standard, and even that is borderline unacceptable with how cheap SSDs are now.

spec bumps don't get anything more than a news release. I figure they are leaning towards only new product debut or when devices get more health related features which is where Apple seems to trying to position themselves.

pcs, tablets, and phones, pretty much are well developed markets.

now if the air pods get some new health monitoring ability I expect them to get a presentation but right now the only remaining product is air power; their charging mat.

For people saying vegan diets might not be healthy it's trivial to find information online about this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegan_nutrition

> The American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly known as the American Dietetic Association), Dietitians of Canada and the British Dietetic Association[6] state that well-planned vegan diets can meet all human nutrient requirements and are appropriate for all stages of life, including during pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence,[1] while the German Society for Nutrition does not recommend vegan diets for children, adolescents, or during pregnancy and breastfeeding.[7] The American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics adds that well-planned vegan diets are also appropriate for older adults and athletes, and that vegan diets may reduce the risk of certain health conditions, such as cancer.[1]

> Special attention may be necessary to ensure that a vegan diet will provide adequate amounts of vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, calcium, iron, zinc, and iodine.[1][2] These nutrients may be available in plant foods, with the exception of vitamin B12, which can only be obtained from B12-fortified vegan foods or supplements. Iodine may also require supplementation, such as using iodized salt.[8]

There's well-known athletes that are vegan as well:

It's true that a lot of aquaculture is not great environmentally. There's a spectrum.

Two points though.

(1) Even some of the worst practices are at least relatively localized. For a given tonage of fish, commercial fishing fleets affect far larger areas, with the most productive areas usually most affected. I think practices need to improve a lot, but even with the current below-par methods... Imagine a ranch with terrible environmental practices. They indiscriminately poison predators, overgraze, use bad fertilizers, run effluent into streams... That 1,000 acre ranch is surrounded by 100,000 acres of wilderness (or good tree farms). The ranch is bad, but enough wilderness can dilute its effects.

(2) A lot depends on the species of fish. With land agriculture, we tend to farm a handful of species that lend well to farming. Before farming, people ate different species. Still, agriculture didn't produce bear meat, otter or some other hard-to-raise species to suit the preferences of hunter-gatherers. With aquaculture, we're still often trying to farm otter and bear.

Tilapia & carp (for example) have a long history of aquaculture. It's cheap and efficient and can be done in environmentally sound ways. The problem is that salmon (raised in environmentally unsound oceanic pens) sells for 5X per kg.

To me that means regulation can be sharp. If salmon, cod or tuna are replaced by more agriculturally enclined species... that's a reasonable compromise, IMO. We can have fish, just not any fish.
What $129 board? For the Jetson Nano, I see only the $99 module or and $99 dev board; neither mention eMMC. Do you mean the RockPro64? I see a $79.99 board that supports eMMC (but isn't in the same league for AI tasks as the Jetson Nano, I think?)

FP16 has 11 bit mantiassa, whereas FP64 has 53 bits. Integer multiplication scales quadratically with the number of bits, so a factor of ~23 might be more accurate.

I spent a couple of years dreaming of getting paid to work in Ruby and Rails and about 7 years doing so. There are many things I loved about Ruby, and Rails brought a ton of good ideas to web development, as this post describes (though I don't agree with all the highlights).

I've since moved to using Elixir and Phoenix, and then even more recently, done some consulting on a Rails project. So the contrasts are on my mind.

My perspective now is that the advantages Ruby/Rails have over Elixir/Phoenix (community size and number of libraries) are circumstantial, and the advantages Elixir/Phoenix have (fault tolerance, concurrency, speed, less requirement for external tools) are inherent in the VM.

Yes, speed of development and maintainability matter. And yes, you can write good or bad code in any language. But if Rails taught us anything, it's that defaults matter. And the default pattern in Rails is to use ActiveRecord and rely heavily on model callbacks, which can get confusing quickly. ActiveRecord also has no way to turn off lazy loading as far I know, and chasing down N+1 queries to improve performance is something I spent far too many hours doing.

My productivity also wasn't helped by the long test run times of Rails applications, or by wasting time trying to optimize view rendering on a heavily-used page.

All of those are either non-issues for me now or at least greatly reduced - Phoenix view rendering is crazy fast, N+1 queries aren't possible with Ecto and it doesn't have callbacks, Elixir test suites are highly concurrent and generally fast (though driving a headless browser is still rather slow).

Performance and concurrency do impact productivity. And I find that "functions in modules" is a great way to structure code and makes it easy to refactor. So does being able to run the entire test suite faster than I can get distracted.

The best ideas of Rails, in my opinion, are present in Phoenix - things like structural conventions, English-like naming, and database migrations. But many of the pain points are missing.

Phoenix and Elixir aren't the One True Way™, aren't the best for every conceivable software problem, etc. And surely they'll be superseded. But in my opinion, Rails already has been.

Well more or less, except the time was 1 year or more for "major" releases.
After Chrome went out and incremented major version with every release, firefox went after them.

Chrome doesn't have super huge list of new features either.

This is a very interesting use of the technology, which I hadn't thought of before.

I would really like to see the tool open-sourced. I guess that re-training the networks on a custom dataset could quickly lead to some interesting results. Even in its current incarnation, the tool could be quite entertaining.

It might also be interesting to apply the methods here to 3D environments, which are typically designed with placeholder objects and textures. I wouldn't be surprised if this were to be applied in videogames to save both on development time (art costs), and file size (multi-gigabyte texture files seems to be quite common), as a complement to procedural generation.

Given nVidia's recent publications [1] on this topic, it seems like they are not too far away from offering that kind of facilities to partner game developers.

Elixir looks great until you look at modulecounts.com where Erlang/Elixir libs total a mere 7900. Compared with Ruby's 150900 gems that's a lot more code you're going to have to write surely?

It was just an example off the top of my head, since I’ve been trying to get into Emacs a bit more.

But while I’m here, I know that Emacs users are fond of telling people how they’re using Emacs incorrectly, but I think this is the first time an Emacs user has told me that a hypothetical example involving an external tool is using it incorrectly.

They only put the anachronistic drives in iMacs which are desktop computers. You could leave a fast Thunderbolt 3 SSD permanently attached, and it would perform like a 2019 computer.

The pun on Haskell was quite fun, but overall a lot of it rang true to me. As someone who is constantly bouncing between Python 3 and JavaScript with Go and Java waiting in the wings and .NET boiling away underneath, the whole thing was entirely too on point for me.

It is important to realize that it does have some gaping holes, though.

For example: I was recently unable to unearth from it exactly when the BSD ps command changed to using getopt() and minus signs for arguments. The entire history of the FreeBSD repository back to the original 4.4BSD commits has ps using getopt(), and minus signs have been the only option syntax documented in the ps(1) manual page for all of that time, too.

Are you carrying around an iMac with you? If you are, the drive is the least of your issues.
I did the same. OS and apps on a cheap 240GB Thunderbolt SSD. Everything else on the internal 1TB spinning disk. Now it’s fantastic.
”Still selling brand new machines with 5400 rpm HDs.”

This doesn’t even make sense given how cheap SSDs are now. Especially with Apple’s buying power.

I’m sure some people still want high-capacity HDDs for various workloads, but that’s what Thunderbolt 3 is for, surely?

It's a product, and they've just launched it. The fact that they aren't a for-profit company is not really relevant.

Nobody uses the product right now, and by product I mean the TS39 website. And assuming that one of the purpose of the website is to be used they'll want the site to have traffic and traction or it's just a waste of effort.

Product launch can have a very big effect on future traffic - that means that many people are exposed to the site, and if it proves useful they might also start using it. As it stands no one is going to return to this site instead of going directly to the github account.

"What search capabilities are you hoping for that are currently missing? "

At the top of the hat, searching for specs in different stages? or by topic, or date. Without search the site can't be a location for discovery, and since it has no new content, it isn't a consumption website either. If you look at it, its basically a glorified landing page. Not something that is useful for the majority of its audience, I believe.
And where does the hydrogen come from? The h2o -> electrolysis -> hydrogen -> fuel cell -> h2o round trip is only 50% efficient, and electrolysis is not even currently the most cost effective way of making hydrogen. The most cost-effective source is natural gas, and the process releases vast amounts of CO2.
A more practical solution is to train your network on other beefy CPU/GPU/TPUs and convert+run that on the Nano using TensorRT. TensorRT supports import of models in Tensorflow (UFF) and ONNX formats.
None, but I got a feeling it was with judgment and trying to sell a point.

I've heard this ridiculous statement so many times. Do you think a company needs to put "don't be evil" to stop itself from doing evil things and then needs to go ahead and remove that phrase because otherwise it simply cannot proceed with evil?

We can learn that certain people oppose the idea of squatters on a moral level. I dont think thats a surprising new finding.

Neither do strawman arguments. The point is not that everyone who uses JS is a script kiddie, which is indeed false. The point is that it's the self-reinforcing wide adoption that encourages further use, not the great language design. I would say the same of Windows and English, even though there are great English speakers and Windows devs.
It conforms better to the async model that JavaScript loves. For everyone outside the single largest deployment in history, it's simpler because it's a smaller spec.
