For the record: think twice before buying Dell XPS. I'm on my second now. Poor hardware quality on both.

The first got a full replacement of mainboard, keyboard and battery after short circuiting.

The second came with a broken hinge cover out of the box and there still seems to be a driver problem I haven't figured out (random lags up to 5 seconds or so but usually less multiple times a week if not multiple times a day).

Just my experience though. Have good experience with Latitude though, so this is not to say you should avoid Dell entirely.
> "I'm so glad this model has a touchbar"

I'm so glad this model has a Touch Bar.

I have seen numerous people who have a MBP 2016 or later which just can't use computers without the Touch Bar experience.

If somebody doesn't find it useful, that's OK, but please, there are a lot of people (who doesn't loudly complain at HN) that finds the Touch Bar useful & incorporates it in one's workflow.

I for myself uses my Touch Bar extensively, from when I'm using Emacs (with a bit of scripting & BTT), Terminal.app, Safari, MS Office Suite, and on and on and on.

I really won't care if Apple would release a MBP without one, but I'm worried Apple will remove the (IMO very useful) concept altogether just because of the loud complainers on the net (like the butterfly mechanism).
Now that Intel exited the business, what is the motherboard brand for people who just want a motherboard that works? One without any lights on it at all. It seems like supermicro would be the straight-faced alternative, but they don’t pay attention and often their boards just don’t work. I want a board that advertises its attention to signal integrity and thermal safety.
Someone who thinks that lisping is so common among gay men that it must be genetic rather than social is someone who is reasoning from stereotypes. This is roughly equivalent to claiming a genetic preference for rainbow bumper stickers.
Ok, then let's say, GPUs, CPUs, screen panels, hdd/ssd &c. I mean, does anyone believe apple is giving up margin to absorb inflation ?
And it's all perfectly legal and as user friendly as picking up brand, spanky new MBP from Apple Store?
> but also prevents those people who want to defend the status quo.

You don't have to defend the status quo, if no one is allowed to challenge it. In other words your ideal office is set in favor of the status quo. And a century ago, would likely not have hired women or blacks. Since that would have been "political".

Thing is, I'm actually in favor of this. Most companies should probably stick to avoiding politics as good as possible and give their employees freedom to do whatever they want outside of work. At the same time, "X employee does [bad thing]" headlines make this damn hard, and thus the company will have to distance itself from what such employees do... worst case by terminating the relationship.

Long story short, having a highly divided society will lead to a lot of pain. No way around it. Finding ways to work against those divisions before they get even worse, even if that means conflict, seem more important than to just bury one's head in the sand.
Oh the fun. Yes, there are some solutions being tested for specific types of scans and specific diagnosis, but not nearly enough is operational yet.

My "short" answer: There are a number of people/companies researching AI for medical scans/records, but it is true that finding enough properly documented and labeled scans/images/records etc is hard. Privacy laws also add a fairly high burden which makes the research hard, the privacy laws/rules are needed but sometimes they are more about adding road blocks than actually protecting anyone's privacy.

Another part to getting good training sources is in more complex scenarios there isn't always one answer for a given scan, or it is possible multiple issues can be found. So it is hard sometimes to isolate the specific issue in some scans which adds complexity. Add to this that if you have 4 medically trained people read the scan independently and without influence you will generally get different answers to all but the simplest diagnosis.

There are places in medicine that are easier and where more consistency is available and that is where the current set of most algorithms and work is being done. Some things are also easier to box into categories than others, so again that makes them lower hanging fruit which is what I see happening right now. All that said, to bring product to commercial market is the largest gap IMO, lots of companies/people have researched and built tools/algorithms/models but few have cleared the FDA in the U.S. I'd say the biggest hurdle right now is bringing products to commercialization and understanding how to do so.

As for most current AI: Most of what is commercially available is not predictive and instead is used as aids in finding missed data points that might change the diagnosis or highlight something specific for treatment. For example, there are some that highlight fractures that would otherwise be missed by a radiologist reading an x-ray. Same thing for CT/MRI scans where sometimes literally thousands of images are generated for a single scan and missing something is not unheard of. More work has been done around imagery analysis than on most other parts of the patient record IMO, so you'll find more data around that side than you would around vitals analysis or predictive diagnostics.

Honestly I could go on about this for a long time. This is an area ripe for innovation but has regulatory hurdles most startups fail to grasp and fail to navigate.

I am the CTO for a startup that is working on these types of problems (vitals & predictive specifically), we have one FDA cleared product and see many opportunities to make a positive impact on patient care.
TLDR: psychologists got themselves an exception to the constitution (not psychiatrists mind you, technically not even psychologists, they're "social workers" and they have no consistent degree, sometimes no degree at all)

Why ? Because, so the claim goes, following the law they wouldn't be able to help.

The problem they're facing is that nobody wants their help. They claim they're psychologically ill and that allows them, with help from police, to enter your home and seize you. Of course, you'll be expected to pay for this "service" (which is "not" why they're doing it in the first place)
Also humans!

Like what? The lack of all desktop software? It is only even halfway decent if you live out of a web browser.
My old Macbook Pro from 2011 just broke. But that's certainly a respectable lifespan. I never replaced it because no new Macbook excited me like that one: they were increasingly hard to maintain, glued components, no 17 inch screen anymore, and keyboards kept getting worse.

When it finally broke down, I got a Thinkpad.

This new 16" Macbook would be the first in years that I'd consider, but it's just a couple of months too late. I found my replacement.
This was always the problem of Perl: it tried to be all things to all people:

> * Perl as the fastest language
> * Perl as the most popular language

You can't get the fastest language (assembly) and be the cognitively easiest and most popular language (Python), there's a trade-off there.

This is why Python won: it focused on what was most important for ease of maintainability and readability and left out everything else
You can't trust any computation on hardware that cannot be trusted. There is no way to check that. Any software implemented check to detect that can be thwarted by hardware that misbehaves in malicious ways. Imagine an address based instruction replacement table that is used to convert some key consitional branches into unconditional ones.

Congratulations on getting first rank on front page.

Congratulations on getting your hands dirty and doing everything yourself like computing gradients manually, badly shuffling (non Fisher-Yates), badly js transpose (double swapping), it is a great way to learn.

Congratulations on completing a full pipeline, that's the hard part then it just swapping pieces for better pieces.

I advise non-technical readers not to attach much value to the results of this neural network as it is probably inferior to the even simpler naive Bayes.

The model of the neural network is simplistic :

Concat(Word Vectors)-Dense(120,act=sigmoid)-Dense(60,act=sigmoid)-Dense(2,act=sigmoid)

The Concat operation mean it is especially sensible to dropping or adding a word as it will offset the remaining words and give a totally different vector.

Using word vectors mean it doesn't forgive any spelling mistake as a spelling mistake will usually correspond to <unknown> vector.

Using a feed forward neural network means formulaic titles with a single word substitution from a good positive example from the training set will often work.

It is trained by gradient descent using a squared error loss, on ~1000 examples one example at a time without cross-validation using a custom written neural network library. (Almost all these bad choices can be solved by using a framework).

It seems to have successfully over-fit as it return Good ~1.0 for positive examples from the training set.
I love that Apple replaced their 15in offerings with this 16in model. The price is perfect and the lack of a 15in makes the selection process so much easier. With this MacBook and the Mac Pro, Apple is really getting a great lineup of products. Well done!
Not sure why you'd do that, or why that's related. Caching would take care of any plugins on the backend.

I’m sure there are lots of professionals who rely on the F row, but never in my (long) coding career have I used those keys (except for a brief DOS period), so surely it’s not a downgrade for everyone.
I've heard that AMD suddenly pulling out of the server market was very damaging for the relationship with vendors, hence (in part) their trouble of getting back in the door .

Second that.

Moissanite is a 9.5/10 on the hardness scale, with diamond being a 10. Outside of industrial applications this is a totally insignificant difference. This reads like the other criticisms of moissanite I've read where people claim that it is "too shiny" making it look too much like a diamond you couldn't possibly afford and therefore giving away it's identity.

How is the trackpad on there?

I bought a thinkpad since at least the keyboard is as good as my mbp 2012 but the trackpad is horrible.
And yet, I don’t think I’ll upgrade solely because of the touchbar. It’s horrible.
You really think iOS developers are the majority of Mac sales? You can debunk that in two minutes of Googling.
I don't know! I would think so, but then why do they keep doing it?

I legitimately don't understand why you wouldn't add just a tiny bit more key travel. Typing is one of the primary functions of a laptop.
Probably Apple.
Minimizing SKUs was the Jobs way. I’d say Apple has since then taken very different approach. Just check the number of iPad and iPhone variants.
Well, by and large, people in the US at least who could afford to were leaving city cores in the latter half of the 20th century. And, even before that, densities were down from their peaks as cities moved away from tenement housing etc.
The 17" Pro from around 2011 was the world's best pro notebook. The things are still pretty capable beasts, even today.

Apple could do well to dust off that design, toss in an updated processor, and put whatever price tag they wanted on it.
Your experience is just you finding what you like and then running up against something doing it differently. This is like moving to another country and complaining the culture is different.

In which case, move home or somewhere else more to your liking? There's nothing inherently wrong with the way things work on Mac.
You could try free roaming chicken eggs if you do not prefer fish or mushrooms. The yolk contains quite some vitamin D.
I really recommend rebinding caps lock to escape. macOS lets you do that natively in keyboard setting nowadays. Still muscle memory to relearn, of course.
OPTIONAL being the key word here! Some people love it some people hate it (developers like me), make it an optional upgrade on an expensive laptop.
The fact that you refer to the murdering of a couple of million Iraqis as a 'policy mishap' just underscores the other guys point.

If your workflow allows for switch then just pull the trigger and buy cheaper and faster Windows or Linux machine. IMHO Macs are extremely overpriced and should be bought only by people who are tied to MacOS ecosystem (iOS development, Final Cut Pro etc.)
Same with iPhone 6s. Not sure why can't admit that reached the peak with a product and just keep producing it that way, maybe with minor modifications only. I would totally keep buying 2015 MPBs and iPhone6s till the end of times.
I would say those concerns are not really big ones, at least not for me. The big ones are treatment of foreigners on state level in US - it is extremely xenophobic. You are literally a lesser human being and have some basic human rights revoked when not holding US passport, morality and sanity be damned.

Imagine this kind of treatment for you if you travel for leisure or business. Would you ever, and I mean ever, want to have anything to do with such a place? People vote with their feet/money.

Anti-US forces really don't have to try hard with propaganda. Heck, they don't have to do anything. US is doing all this by itself, and thanks to internet those cases are not buried as easily as in the past.
I had that setup, then I noticed something didn't feel quite right on some apps: apparently sometimes I tend to press Ctrl to enter some key combination, depress it immediately after and it fires the ESC key, which might have unintended consequences (i.e. closing a window I was reading)
I just got a 2019 at end of May - earlier 2015 broke, needed one ASAP. Didn't want a Touch Bar (had returned a 2016 model I got on release - didn't like it). Now... same price, this has physical escape key and 1TB out of the box. Slightly annoyed...
It's possible you've had "lactose free" milk, whereby lactase is added, breaking down lactose into simpler sugars. The amount of sugar is the same, but the simpler sugar tastes sweeter than the longer chain lactose. U.S. milk doesn't have sugar added to it, unless it's flavored milk e.g. chocolate milk.
I've used CentOS in every gig I've been at until my current one (we use full-on RHEL here). Even if they're not paying for support it means that the industry is still thinking Red Hat; a long play.
The hyperbole really isn’t cute anymore after all of the fuckups. Like, some humility this time would be great. “We listened. We made some mistakes, but we want to fix them.” Don’t come out guns blazing like “this is the BEST laptop EVAR!” You don’t get to claim the world’s best anything when some people have been waiting the length of an entire presidential administration just to buy a usable laptop from you.

Well they can actually measure the repair rate of the butterfly mechanism, this is a different thing. That's why they also extended warranty on those keyboards. The defect is measurable, this isn't about complainers on the net.

What if your punch in, put on the blinders, work 8 hours, punch out, go home; emotionally-deatched approach has you building tools to enable censorship in China? Or what if you end up working on [insert your personal morally objectionable issue of choice]?

Your employer doesn't have power over you, but you have power over them. Organization is about choosing not to exercise that power by leaving for greener pastures and letting the company rinse and repeat with the next cycle of college graduates, but by staying and choosing to influence the direction of the company in a positive way. You can choose to do your 8 hours every day and devote a full one-third of your life - the only life you get - to someone else's work that you don't have a stake in. But that just seems like the stupid, easy way out.

>Except that the Spectre paper already takes degraded timers into account and suggests to use a Web Worker thread that increments a value in a loop as a replacement.

Yeah, which was why SharedArrayBuffer was disabled when spectrev1 was released. It is still disabled in Chrome if site-isolation is disabled and it's still disabled in firefox.

You should really know all this if you are so very well versed in the subject.

>Even if I was wrong, and very wrong, why the hell would you choose to be less safe? this whole thread chain is absolutely baffling. Buy an AMD CPU or leave the mitigations on. Everything else is needlessly opening yourself up.

I don't run without migrations. I commented on the original parent comments threat model and that I think it's perfectly logical. And I maintain this, if your threat model is so strict, that you are afraid of speculative execution vulnerabilities hitting you through javascript, you should not run JS at all, as regular js 0days have hit while no actual speculative execution browser exploits have hit.

Solving population problems with density + transit isn't exactly non-retro. Building trains and subways has been a thing for longer than interstate highway connected suburbs.

It's historically rare for people to accept a reduction in convenience, or quality of life. Even then it's only a reduction as a trade off for other improvements.

If we are talking about future mass transit, I'd expect it to look more like a larger version of Uber pool. Where a destination is entered into a smartphone, and transit mode selection is handled in the background. Something along the lines of smart buses combined with micro mobility.

The future of transit appears to be headed towards the smartphones and e-bikes, not the train station.
