The new 18-core i9-10980XE isn't out yet, and review embargoes haven't been lifted. We know it's a slightly clock bumped version of the i9-9980XE, which was included in the AnandTech review and not the Linus review.

Linus tested the 8-core i9-9900KS, which came out a few weeks ago, and those results are also in the link which is the title to this thread.
> Many players complain in story heavy games that their choices have no consequences to the story - this is largely because building stories with meaningful branches isn't economically feasible.

That's not entirely true - it's just that no games studios are willing to compromise on graphics and art for something silly like the ability to impact the game world.
This is a crap article tbh They don't take any requierments and build a 5min poc with no constrains.

For instance their demo doesn't update anything, Uber updates location every seconds, I'd like to see how PG behaves when you rebuild index thousand time per seconds.
The question is whether we can keep our current lifestyle until such technology exists.
You got it. Plus the developers have access to more and more expensive lawyers than council planning departments so with enough pressure they can get it called in and do pretty much whatever they like. As in this case.
So not only does Amazon co-mingle inventory to cause this problem in the first place, but then they turn around and charge brands if they want to enter this anti-counterfeit program. Incredible.
So you're thinking the new MacBook Pro 16 with an 8 Core CPU and a GPU using the included 96Watt USB-C charger may drain the battery under full load?
Ah, but TSX is also used to block attacks (on SGX enclaves). So just disabling it entirely seems over simple.

Yeah, GPD's handheld PCs are IMO better than these ARM-based computers since they are (mostly) regular x86 PCs in tiny size and i can run my existing x86/x64 applications and games with them (of which i have thousands). Though when it comes to games i prefer the GPD Win.

Honestly every time i learn about any handheld computer or gaming device i do a quick comparison in my mind with GPD's computers and outside of price the latter pretty much always come out winners (largely because they have zero competition in the real-PC-in-your-pocket space).
The idea that "you know" what would happen if, overnight, everyone started using ublock origin, is silly. What part of Google's revenue comes, indirectly, from "display ads"? I have no idea.

I think it's safe to say that there would be repercussions if everyone started blocking ads. Maybe Google isn't the best example but there are websites that block my access because I have an ad blocker. They aren't doing that for no reason.

The Galaxy S4 was pretty much the perfect phone for me. Just the right size for my small hands, replaceable battery, rootable OS, and plenty of power and storage expandability for the time.
Hypocrisy is the issue. If you choose to support one religion over another you are then you are taking sides on religion. What that topic is (in this case a room) is irrelevant in respects to hypocrisy. Hypocrisy weakens your resolve to do what is right and just.

Sharia law will be considered a religious right in the future in the US. And because we were hypocrites before, we will be hypocrites again. And if you don't think Sharia law will bring violence with it, I can provide links for you to study.

Because it's not a notebook chip? 105W is... a little toasty.
At this stage, generic computing is unlikely to get any more significant boost (under the assumption that generic computing is something not necessarily [highly] parallelizable); instead, we'll likely see specialized processors. Therefore, ultimately, the market/industry will decide what to accelerate - and the technology to support the acceleration.
It's worth pointing out that the value for Intel's 10nm is on its high-density libraries, not its high-performance libraries, which are less dense.
That trend seems real, yep, and your points ring true to me. In response to the items you mention (in reverse order), decentralization could become rapidly more attractive if & when:

2) The time required to configure, install, and use decentralized services reduces to within a small margin of the equivalent centralized systems

1) The cost of losing custody of your personal data, and the cost of being influenced and constrained within a proprietary system are more apparent and can be stacked onto the 'free' price tag

Work towards this takes a long time, especially while software engineers are in such demand in the profitable private sector (which, although there are exceptions, tends to skew towards building proprietary software).

In general I'd tend to believe that another, second trend is that decentralized and open source software does always eventually catch up (in a kind of asymptotic progress curve to infinity) - and that we'll reach this 'switch margin' eventually, it's just a question of how long it will take.
I have a Tap keyboard. The mouse is phenomenal. The tapping keyboard takes some getting used to. With a full keyboard nearby, there's no justification for the cost in speed. But I'm working on a wearable computer now that I expect the Tap to be perfect for.
Same here... I have a Dell USB-C dock and a Dell Precision and when I plugged my boss' 2017 MacBook Pro and all worked out of the box, including ethernet and charging, we were impressed.

Then I plugged my LG G6 and I could download at 80mb/s with the ethernet cable and I can use my mouse and keyboard, it even recognized my NAS.
Ever try dry shampoo? My hair is growing out long and having a shower every day (especially in the winter) would leave me with a giant dry poof on top of my head. and then wet and freezing on the way to work.

Dry shampoo works great.
Evolutionarily, this makes sense. All felids are obligate carnivores that rely on meat for nutrients—for example, they need taurine for vision, which they can't synthesize and is only found in meat. So there's an evolutionary advantage for cats to not want to eat anything else.
Makes me wonder if this is just a result of genetic drift and/or bottlenecking. They clearly have no need for it, and are very specialized killers, but it being so widely present in mammals tells us that it's not really a costly gene to have.

I found the part about being able to register ATP interesting, as controlling for ATP is one of the most common techniques used to control the quality of hygiene in food production buildings and equipment. I don't know how this applies to nature where you would expect this to be found everywhere, but maybe it's valuable in deserts, snowy areas and similar? Or maybe higher than usual levels can be used to identify areas where rodents and other sources of food could be found?

Agreed, to be honest, I was considering them as a password manager for my personal needs, now I am unsure about trusting them with this announcement.
As much as people complain about USB-C, I absolutely love it. I have a 2018 MacBook Pro, and I use the Caldigit TS3 hub (referenced in the article) as my docking station at work. I plug a single cable in, and I immediately have 2 x 27" 4k monitors, power, USB peripherals, headphones, Ethernet, and much more if I need it.

I travel with a single dongle that cost $15: SD card, HDMI, 2xUSB 2.

I have not had to buy any extra cables, besides what came with the computer.

You are absolutely correct. I might be wrong but I've always heard that the general rule of thumb for gaming CPU purchases is get best single core speed if you aren't buying for a specific game. Also, I based my statement on my workloads which involves a lot of virtualization.
There are a few related species to ferrets, like sables and pine martens, that are omnivores and will eat berries and whatnot.

I was being legalistic. Technically you still "own" your copyright if you release something GPL, but the license grants certain rights that can't be revoked. So we're both correct.
Well.... There's the possibility that there's a certain degree of myopia in the AI field as a whole. As in, we know that there are some pretty gaping holes in our models and understanding, and most of the effort is spent on refining approaches that we have already validated.

Maybe a better analogy would be "specialize physical theories that work in all environments, not have to be adapted separately for the ocean, space, the atmosphere, the forest" etc.
Even if you can get a good price for the CPU, the mainboards are very pricey compared to the consumer CPU boards.

> The parents, as it turned out, had only given the baby vegan food, and had never taken the baby for any checkups.

Iirc they had used almond milk instead of breast feeding. Whoever thinks almond milk is a valid substitute for breast milk is unfit as a parent.

I have hung on quite a lot of vegan forums, and these kinds of parents are rare and are quickly told right by others.
Other good reasons to adopt self-hosted private cloud
Isn't that the logic behind the "fake" nanometer measurements? Let's say everyone is on "32nm", but you got a new process[1] that packs twice the number of transistors than everyone else, but with the same feature size. Essentially, your 32nm feature size process is equivalent to everyone else's 22nm feature size process. Are you going to advertise your new process as "32nm" which is the same as everyone else, or "22nm"?

Mine loves cantaloupe. I’m curious which part of that she likes other than the sweetness.

Same with plastic. You can shame people who not recycle everything but till companies start reducing plastic packaging nothing will change.
I hadn't seen the network driver comparison before, interesting. Go does really well here, maybe because this is the kind of job is was designed for originally? I'm not sure. For the kinds of things I generally write, this is usually a good way to compare something approximating real world performance: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r18&hw=...

C, Java, C# and Go all appear at the top there so it's basically a wash, +/-5%. I still think the main perception of Go as "the fastest option" on places like HN is because people are coming from some of the slower languages (Javascript, Ruby, etc).

Footnote: I don't think there's anything wrong with using a slower language, a lot of them have higher productivity overall. I also just happen to prefer programming in Java, so it's overall the best choice for most jobs for me.
Ask HN: What to Learn First JavaScript or React?
I have no programming experience as I am switching career to web dev. Should I start with JavaScript or React?

Please suggest me a few good starting resources.
Thanks, Mike. This is fantastic. I'm still just learning D3, but this type of content (and Observable in general) has been immensely useful.

Where do you get ideas for your novel visualizations? Is there academic literature on the psychology of presenting data like this, or are you just dreaming up new things and adding features to D3 so you can do it? How do you recommend making the jump from forking and adapting others' visualizations to writing entirely new things from scratch?
I would not have published this article. Someone at the bank made an error, and

> After we reached out to FinecoBank for comment, a spokesperson said that “we understand the criticism and we decided not to suggest anymore to our clients to do so.”

Ok. What's the story?

The article also complains that, "to make matters (MUCH) worse," the bank charges to physically mail a new password. Well, sending a letter costs something, and takes someone's time, and attaching a fee to it incentivizes people to use the online password reset, which as the article states, is free.

One of the claims of the article subheading was always false, and the other is no longer true.

> A European bank makes customers pay to change their passwords, and suggests they Google their password to check if it is secure.
I believe they still support buying a single license from within the app.
Slight meta, and part of a larger 'rant,' but when are we going to get away from reviews that might as well have been printed on glossy pages in PC Magazine in 1986? Anandtech has been at it since the 90s and hasn't changed their format at all. This is a serious decades-long stagnation of the web. The graphs should be dynamic (able to choose what scenarios and components to compare, and able to search within them), and user contributed. Instead we get feeble excuses like "it doesn't make sense to compare a two-year-old-generation to this one," well yes it does if I'm considering an upgrade.

Only a few sites support these options. Storage Review was an early leader but hasn't much moved much, Notebookcheck is another, and of course Phoronix.
This leaves me with more questions as I have a cat that absolutely will not leave you alone if you're holding ANY fruit. She will cry and whine and do all she can to get to that fruit. Apple, plum, orange, grapefruit, pineapple, melons, it doesn't matter. She goes especially nuts for dragonfruit.
For consumer (individual or family) or business?

Password management is a privacy and data sync problem.

As a consumer I use an Android device, Windows desktop, Linux laptop so OS or single ecosystem solutions don't work for me. They may be ideal for others.

For a business password manager I'd want to know who is storing my data and how it's being stored. It should be stored where the provider has no access to the passwords (data is encrypted client side before being sent through sync backend ).

Disclosure: TeamPassword is part of the business I run.
Those looking into a password manager solution dodged a bullet.
> All felids are obligate carnivores

I think you meant "felines".

[UPDATE] Nope, the OP meant felids (though my old eyes parsed it as "fields" (never heard of a "felid" before) which is why I thought it was spell checking or voice recognition gone wrong).
I'm waiting for 64 core CPU. 32 is nice but still not enough.
What’re the odds of using RICO here?
Whataboutism and power consumption is not equivalent to water consumption. That said, IDK what city you live in, but most offices I know have energy-efficient lighting (used to be TL, nowadays LED) and motion sensors.

If you do want to make a "what about" point though, highlighting how consumers only use a relatively small percentage of power compared to companies - think any IT company with datacenters, large scale shipping, but also Bitcoin and co - and shaming individuals into stuff like using less water, going vegetarian or change their bulbs is putting the blame in the wrong direction.
So create a system that encourages abuse, profit from that abuse at the expense of brands, and then charge those companies to use your proprietary tracking system if they want to eliminate it? This is straight out of a racketeering playbook, "It would be a shame if someone counterfeited your products and ruined your brand..."

This is Amazon's problem and they should be responsible and accountable for this.

This article is low quality and reads like it's straight out of Amazon's PR team, with no actual analysis.
Looking at some benchmarks done by PC Games Hardware it appears that games are still not capable of taking advantage of 16 cores and 32 threads. It's not surprising - why would developers optimize for something that's not yet widely used. But I wonder when we'll get there...
I don't know, I find it more relatable if put in terms of how high a stack of CDs would be or how many times we can write the Library of Congress on it.
Not to mention the lack of glass covering the screen means a screen protector in general is likely unnecessary. No hassle of dealing with stupid air bubbles or the inevitable edge chipping of the protector (which is somehow always way weaker than the screen itself anyhow)
> there's an evolutionary advantage for cats to not want to eat anything else

Do we have evidence cats’ ancestors had such a receptor?

If not, it might be simpler to assume there wasn’t evolutionary pressure to not taste sweetness as much as there was a lack of any pressure to taste it.

Cloudron is missing apps for most use cases I actually care about.

Can you add a google photos type app? Maybe Piwigo (it has a good mobile app) or OwnPhotos[1] (it has face/object recognition). Lychee doesn't have a mobile app or face/object recognition.

Can you add some communication apps like Matrix Synapse or Ejabberd? Mattermost is walled off from the outside world.

Can you add some social apps like Pleroma or Mastodon?

I feel like I've spent an absolute fortune on 1password over the last decade. I'm pretty sure it was, what, $70 when I got it 6+ years ago? Now I'm paying monthly (2.99 or 4.99/mo x .. 3-5 years?) which is pretty ironic considering a lot of us initially left LastPass to go to 1pass because it was 100% offline (I'm aware you can do local vaults still). At least the QOL updates have been coming faster lately, especially with Android.

Anyway, very curious what this means. I'm sure there's a ton of features I've not thought about in years it could use (like LastPass's IP/region blocks) but 1password has never felt like it was a fast moving feature company. Maybe this will get us that.
I'm not sure what causes it—and I'm not even sure it's a bad thing, certainly it must not be hurting these folks careers too much, and maybe it's even helping them—but there's a certain path for developers that ends up leaving them helpless outside whatever narrow ecosystem they've grabbed onto. Usually it's Java or some Microsoft thing.

As someone who very much did not develop (as a person/programmer) that way, it seems baffling from the outside, but there's this whole world of programmers who work like that until they retire or are promoted into management. It seems bizarre to me but it must be working for them. Hell, they might even be the majority of all programmers. Bigcos, particularly the non-tech ones that nonetheless employ lots of developers, are full of such people.
It's not ridiculous at all. Salt sea water is not scarce, but clean fresh water is absolutely scarce in many places on Earth. There's a very good reason why many homes moved towards those 'low flow' showers 30 years ago: wasting less water. As the article points out, wasting less water automatically means wasting less energy (mostly for heating the water, but also cleaning and pumping it).

Unfortunately the savings from those more efficient showers from 30 years ago have been undone by those fancy rain showers that everybody wants nowadays.

Fortunately there are also rain showers that recycle the unused water; most shower water goes down the drain completely unused and quite clean. These shower systems recycle the clean water and as a result use much, much less water per minute[0].

Upon seeing this project I immediately searched the HN thread for fellow PocketCHIP owners. Mine's still on my shelf next to a few other handheld Linux portables that showed promise, but ended up with poor support and no updates. The real clincher for me is eMMC storage - with no way to back up or modify the storage other than their web-based flasher, the CHIP was a headache and a half to deal with, compared to other microSD-card-based SBCs, which are simple to backup and restore when needed.

I'd love to have a device like this with the longevity of a Thinkpad (still using mine from 2012) or at least my Nexus 5 (2013, and still in use!) but it seems after a year or so these all just get abandoned.
