Fair point but there are examples where customers could be using AWS / Google API's that could hide the new hardware (voice recognition would be a good example).

I guess too that for Apple there is a huge advantage to having the custom silicon on the same SoC as the CPU whereas there is much less penalty for having it on a separate chip (as per TPUs) in the datacentre.

It doesn't make sense at the datacenter level either.

How are ops/developers supposed to use ansible or salt or docker or kubernetes, when the only available solution to access/deploy to the servers is with the one centrally approved tool.
FWIW, this can also be done with Settings -> General -> Shut Down.
Some alcohol and some acid go well together imo. Alcohol surely doesn't stop the trip. Maybe it smoothens the come up a bit. I only do low doses of both though.

Drug development has been maturing for decades. Both industry and the agency have had time to work out what animal models do and do not tell us. If you develop/discover a molecule/drug that treats some disease, it's typically found first in single-cells, then you move into higher and higher organisms. This is the flow of development. No one thinks any mouse, even humanized mice, are surrogates for actual clinical evidence. The whole shtick is risk mitigation, it's amazing how far society has come in such a short period of time where we forget non-clinical testing is not a perfect view into how a compound will interact in a human.
Antipsychotics seem theoretically (and by online accounts empirically) more effective. While benzos reduce the panic, antipsychotics would function more similarly to an off-switch.
IMHO in-group contrarians:

- Someone how didn't get that all truth-seeking is a facade (no matter if it is a Catholic, feminist, communist, libertarian, etc group). So they don't get that they should pretend to search for truth while accepting the dogma (think about many religious scholars: often it is fine, or even encouraged to ask questions and have doubts, as long as you arrive at the "correct" answer).

- People who take the gamble (consciously or not) - to be the new leader or a cast-out. Again, it seems that in religion almost every single person considered a key figure falls into this category (some didn't succeed so ended up as heretics, or we don't even remember their name). Think: Moses, Jesus, Martin Luther.

From a tribalistic standpoint, it makes sense to have at the same time:

- A cohesive belief, so it is a clear distinction for who is in and who is out.

- Some route to explore other ideas. If the tribe accepts it, good. If considered it wrong, then it is much easier to banish or execute a few people, than counteract to a large fraction of the population which are slightly heretical.
Yup, not only as accepted part of their stack but also offered as a product that sometimes users need to input their bank details in 3rd party applications from some fintechs.

If you look under the hood there is a lot of grey areas being exploited by fintech, all around...
I've never been able to even contemplate eating while tripping and the idea of drinking alcohol while tripping turns my stomach, I find it much easier to just take some alprazolam or diazepam if things start getting out of hand. That's just me personally though, I've tripped with a guy who went and bought and ate a whole chicken while tripping...
Weirdly, my initial thought there was "that's only 9 years ago", and then did a quick double take when I realised that it wasn't.
So we have had these nuclear submarines hiding in the oceans and listening for other submarines for the last fifty years. And in this time we have not charted out the bathymetry to a high degree of accuracy?

I don't believe the navies need centimetre resolution bathymetry however if they had it then they would keep quiet about it much like how the National Reconnaissance Office keep quiet about their spy satellites.
> Adobe would have a lot of tools that probably will need quite a bit of work to run smoothly on ARM.

Adobe is a lot more "cloud" nowadays (see: Fusion 360).

I would be stunned if there isn't an ARM cloud Photoshop ready to roll.

Yes, this is going to hose over the people who stopped buying Photoshop once Adobe went subscription.

Excellent general advice but in this case LSD is widely known to have no dangerous interactions with alcohol.
And what is the precise relationship between hyperbolic space and Minkowski space? am I right in understanding that one can _embed_ a model of hyperbolic space (the hyperboloid moidel, obeying the equation `-x0^2 + x1^2 + ... xn^2 = 0` as a subspace of the Minkowski space? But Minkowski space is far larger than hyperbolic space?
I can say our company standardized on Macs for developers back when Macs were much better relative to other laptops. But now most of the devs are doing it begrudgingly. The BSD userland thing is a constant source of incompatibility, and the package systems are a disaster. The main reason people are not actively asking for alternatives is that most use the Macs as dumb terminals to shell into their Linux dev servers, which takes the pressure off the poor dev environment.

The things the Mac is good at:

1) It powers my 4k monitor very well at 60Hz

2) It switches between open lid and closed lid, and monitor unplugged / plugged in states consistently well.

3) It sleeps/wakes up well.

4) The built in camera and audio work well, which is useful for meetings, especially these days.

None of these things really require either x86 or Arm. So if a x86 based non-Mac laptop appeared that handled points 1-4 and could run Linux closer to our production environment I'd be all over it.

These seem like vanity metrics: a gauge of how much we care about science and exploration. The truth is that open ocean projects are slow and expensive. High-effort / low-impact projects like fine granularity sea floor maps are difficult to coordinate without financial backing from a national superpower dedicated to data sharing. I suspect that what will change the trajectory is new low cost technology that simplifies the process.
Probably just benzodiazepines labeled "LSD off switch" to make money off the increasing interest in psychedelics.

I use a combination of a conventional phone with FaceTime on an iPad with my 90 years old mother. I call her on the phone (which works much better with her hearing aid), and then I connect through FaceTime for the video. If there are any technical issues, I can walk her through them. We have been doing this every evening for the past three months without any insurmountable problems. Having the iPad on a dock helps, as it keeps the orientation constant.
This is false. I regularly buy artisan bread for the same or lower price of the bread in the supermarket.
It's true, these posts are for intermediate and upper reverse engineers. It would really take a book to explain it from the ground up it like someone here mentioned. I suggest getting some background in assembly, then reading the OWASP guide (link in my previous HN post), and persistence.
That's exactly the case where iPad starts dropping calls.

Cheat-Sheet for SwiftUI that Makes iOS app Development even easier than ever
About the Cheat-Sheet on the App Store
Cheat-Sheet for SwiftUI shows all UI elements and the needed source code. Each UI element is presented in one or more variations. You can try the control and check the functionality. You can see one or more examples for working SwiftUI elements & the source code to get it. Corresponding UIKit elements are listed. It's easy, try it!

To allow experienced coders an easier changeover to SwiftUI, all elements from UIKit are assigned to the corresponding SwiftUI elements.

SwiftUI Cheat-Sheet is an Xcode Developer App to creating apps for iPhone and iPad using the cheatSheet app. Our app will be help through every step of the process for building an iOS app, from first idea to App Store.
Had a similar problem in medicine in a startup, which also failed. Although people did want to pay, you can only have large scale deployments if your are able to finance multiple studies over multiple years. By then smaller manufacturers are most certainly broke.

Want to make money there? Don't try to find cures or therapies for indications a small percent of people suffer from. Just invent another beauty cream, that's where the money is. No, I’m not bitter either, just maybe a little.
protip.. Try and force yourself to eat, it gives you one less thing for your body to be weird about.
Ive mad a lot of money over the last few years buying AMD stock but I might be exiting this week ahead of WWDC.

I think getting developers on ARM might just be what eats X86 on the server.
I've been hearing a lot about this book lately. Added to my reading list.

These concepts definitely aren't new, probably as old as humans. But I wonder who in history harnessed these methods to 'maximise' themselves really, really well?
In my experience, the acid smashes straight through the effects of the alcohol. I drank quite a lot during the peak once, it didnt affect me at all. (Mind you my trip was okay, no anxiety i wanted to get rid of.)

The tail end was pretty rough though, getting slammed back into reality AND a nasty hangover wasn't fun.

All in all it felt pretty pointless. Not recommended.

I swapped a copy of start with why by Simon Sinek

for

Thinking fast and slow by Daniel Kahneman

Both great books.

Start with why is good to understand how marketing and branding works, and how to do it better.

Thinking Fast and Slow is a great take on being conscious of your own cognition. It explains how to know whether we are making decisions with the correct thinking mode.

A lot of the time we rely on past experience and gut feel - the fast thinking mode. We do this in situations where actually the slow thinking mode might be better.

It's important to understand and be self aware of which one you are relying on, and strike the right balance.

Also a great book on how to get things right is the Checklist manifesto by Atul Gawande.

It's a fantastic story, of how the humble checklist can improve workflow quality tremendously.
From pilots running pre-flight checks to avoid plane failures.
To surgeons performing pre-surgery checks, vastly improving patient outcome and surgery success statistics.

We use checklists in our company to ensure we are building high quality products, and our customer support is to a high standard and uniform.

I would recommend all three.
> I was under the impression that the time it takes to access any element in a JavaScript Array is constant.

It’s O(1), like the equivalent structure in other languages, but individual timings are influenced by other factors, like cache, as seen here. Still with a constant bound for all intents and purposes.

> Another interesting point to note here is that in the second half of the article, the author modified the `localAccess` function to accept an optional array. That may actually have side effects that are unaccounted for, which is clear upon comparison of Entry 1 and Entry 3 for all environments; and Entry 2 and Entry 4 for only Firefox. If we ignore the order-of-magnitude difference and focus on the trends, it appears that the optimisation used in different engines seen here corroborates what @londons_explore has already pointed out.

The margin of error is huge for 1, and 1 and 3 are within margins of error for the V8s, so my guess is that you ran them in the same order every time and the difference is just an artefact of being the first to run. You should wait for the page to settle down to start tests and try reordering or separating them.
I'd put together my own basic mutual NDA to offer to people who ask me to sign one. I used to get anywhere from 10-20 people per year wanting me to sign their NDA to talk about an idea. Initially I did, then went to refusing outright, then went to offering a pushback "mutual" version (which it looks like waypoint is). I was surprised how many people balked at a two-way version. That told me instantly that they didn't plan to place any value on what I was brining to the problem, somehow needed whatever insight I might have, but didn't even want to go through the motions of pretending to be interested in my position.

The number of people approaching me and requiring an NDA up front is down a lot in the last... 5 years? Probably less than 3/year altogether, but I'm also randomly approached less too, so I don't know if it's proportional or more people have realized an NDA generally isn't required in most cases at 'idea' stage talk.
I don't care that much about my HN rank, but truth is a very important value in my life. The book I've recommended is a unique one (although I was able to point to a couple of misinterpretations the author made, but nothing critical), in a sense that it has a lot of that kind of information in one place (and I think it might be the only one book of that kind available; I have a dedicated book shelf on the topic, so I'm more or less aware of what's on the market).

I'm not going to make anyone here to change his mind. People have their own right to decide. Moreover, I think that's the only way we can reasonably coexist with each other.

What I don't like and I won't accept is people acting-out their negative emotions when challenged with a point of view that they don't like. We aren't children anymore. Either something is a fact or a logical extension of thereof, or it's a BS. I refuse to pay attention to inappropriately configured emotional "processors" in case of some individuals. Consider that the book offers only unpleasant kind of information. The one that makes you think that maybe you should change your approach toward matters you've been associating yourself with. It derails you. The one that says: ups, shit hits the fan, and there's going to be a lot of work regarding making it right again. I'm also a psychologist and the mentioned phenomena is well know to me. I expected nothing else. But I'll keep my expectations regarding maturity and logical integrity if one wants to get into a discussion with me. But I also guarantee that the book does all of that for a good reason and not without one.

I would never recommend someone a piece of knowledge not in line with the truth, or one that hasn't been well checked by myself. It's a matter of honor to me. What I'd like to ask people to do is to assess an importance of a given advice / recommendation by the actual importance of the topic itself first, even before one is going to move to fact checking. In other words: we should be vigilant when confronted with something of utmost importance and we should inspect the topic in that spirit. This is how one makes proper risk assessment BTW. For people who can't transcendent themselves when challenged with reality - there's no hope. Would anyone be interested what position a hopeless person takes regarding anything? I guess that's a rhetorical question.

OK, whining mode off ;) Thank you for your encouragement and you're welcome.

PS: I completely agree on your "I'd rather see it as a complex interplay between groups with shared interests". We might be differently approaching the conclusions / predictions, though. That's not a big issue. But I must say I'm rather on the be prepared side and I consider the potential technocratic future to be a very real scenario at this point. One thing is sure: the phenomena discussed can't be ignored by a thoughtful individual. That would be against facts.
I have no idea where in Germany you're based, or what industry you work in, but in the Berlin startup scene, there's absolutely a critical mass of development that has coalesced around macOS. It's a little bit less that way than in the US, but not much.
I think his point is that those mice are misleadingly bad and it is a fixable problem that for some reason the scientific community is refusing to address.

I've spent the last couple of years working on an edge multicamera system (drones). Even at a fairly low resolution, eg a 2MP RGB cam and a VGA thermal, you run into problems. Depends somewhat on how much cash you have to spend on the project!

From experience, IO and encode speed are by far the biggest problem in these systems. You can do reasonably fast inference using a hardware accelerator on any platform - Google Coral is very efficient, as is the Intel NCS. For many ML applications, inference latency will dominate your framerate (ie it doesn't matter if you run it off a Pi, as long as you use USB3). But again, there your bottleneck is how fast you can feed the accelerator.

Until recently, with more platforms offering USB3, actually saving data was a challenge. USB2 just isn't fast enough for high bandwidth multi-camera video and you quickly hit the write buffer on cheap USB storage. Forget SD cards unless you have low level access. Nowadays you can at least use an external USB3 SSD or even M.2 on some of these boards. In the past I resorted to tricks like buffering frames into RAM and then dumping to the card in one go to avoid doing random writes.

Very few other platforms in this price range can offer encode specs like the Jetson. The Pi can do one h264 stream which is representative. The RK3399 can also do one stream at 1080p/30 - though I've never managed to make it work better than 15. A reasonable solution, actually, is to buy a Pi for each camera and hardware synchronize them (or not, if it's not important).

Then camera support, if you go CSI then usually this stuff is pipelined into the ISP. If it's a UVC camera or whatever then usually you're going to be using Gstreamer. If the board claims to support N streams, that should all be done over CSI totally on the GPU without any significant CPU load. I'm not sure if that's what you're after, since you ask for CPU benches, but none of these platforms can cope with even a couple of HD streams on CPU only. You need hardware encoding.

Processing is not saving though. You may be able to process video using CPU only, but if you want to do something with it later, you'll need to encode and transmit or store it.

The downside is there aren't that many CSI cameras available off the shelf and they can be pricey, for no real reason other than economy of scale.
I've deployed C++ code on ARM in production that was developed on X64 without a second thought, though I did of course test it first. If it compiles and passes unit tests, 99.9% of the time it will run without issue.

Going from ARM to X64 is even less likely to have issues as X64 is more permissive about things like unaligned access.

People are making far too big a deal out of porting between the two. Unless the code abuses undefined behaviors in ways that you can get away with on one architecture and not the other, there is usually no issue. Differences in areas like strong/weak memory ordering, etc., are hidden behind APIs like posix mutexes or std::atomic and don't generally have to be worried about.

The only hangup is usually vector intrinsic or ASM code, and that is not found in most software.

For higher level languages like Go or Java, interpreted languages like JavaScript or Python, or more modern languages with fewer undefined edge cases like Rust, there is almost never an issue.

This is just not a big deal unless you're a systems person (like Linus) or developing code that is really really close to the metal.
In case anyone was wondering what the broader appeal here is—the plugin is not specific to MapTiler.

It looks like any Mapbox GL JSON compatible-theme can be used (https://github.com/maptiler/qgis-maptiler-plugin#load-a-map-...), which includes most vector and raster styles from Mapbox, Stadia Maps, Jawg Maps, and many others.

(Disclosure: I cofounded Stadia Maps.)

In my humble opinion it's not that bright to think of animals as an utilitarian resource for the human race to plunder, or to consider their monetary value as any sort of a yardstick.

Certainly if we hold these kind of ethics we've got no excuses if an advanced alien race wants to use us in their medical experiments.

DeviceCheck on iOS support iOS 11 and up. Which would cut off 7% of users[1], a bit extreme. But when the time comes when you don't have to cut off anyone, it'll be very interesting to see what'll happen on iOS. Someone will bypass it? Death of reverse engineering? Who knows. On Android, an HN user mentioned in the previous post that it's a solved problem[2].

I twisted my headphone wires too much. I had to take the headphones apart botched a soldering job and then just put two wire ends in a ferrule as a last resort. It works but I wish Bluetooth was actually worth using instead of hacking a solution together. Back when Apple removed the jack I thought wireless wasn't ready yet and my opinion hasn't changed in 2020.
For me, it's the little things such as ability to undo accidental terminal tab closing with cmd+z, restoring sessions after restart so I don't need to reopen a bunch of tabs and cd manually, ability to show timestamp for each command run, etc.
I’ll try this on my iPad first generation, it’s a bit sad to see the device being responsive but pretty much useless, without iCloud support, hard to find iOS 5 apps
Why did you choose to ignore the 2.22x faster multi-core score of the 9900k?

Tests like these are also very questionable if they are constrained to sub-60s microbenchmarks, which ignore power-limits and cooling.

I'd rather wait for the actual product in a comparable package (e.g. laptop chassis vs. whatever unspecified environment the Geekbench test was run in) before drawing conclusions...
Sorry but this looks pretty much a BS.

> Lessons to be learned

* even a pretty obvious fraud can go on much longer than one would think if the organizers are ruthless enough. My original short position would have gone against me 25x over 12 years and the share price even after today’s disaster would be higher than back in 2008 (just to be clear: the company is worth ZERO in my opinion)

* a company that goes against people who write negative articles as aggressively as Wirecard has something to hide

* if the profitability of a business can not be explained by its business model, then most likely something is very wrong (greetings Bernie Madoff)

* 99% of professional investors and analysts don’t care about these things even if you tell them. A lot of people knew that the company was fishy but hey thought they can make money anyway and a lot of people made a lot of money over the years

* Small companies with far flung operations in difficult geographies should be avoided (see Globo Plc) as this makes fraud difficult to detect for auditors

* A big 4 Audit firm is no proof of quality.
