The iPhone SE and entry level iPad.

According to the usually accurate Ming Chi Kuo, the entry level iPad will be moving to using a top of the line chip as well, which is a needed change.

>Kuo first says that Apple will launch a new 10.8-inch iPad during the second half of 2020, followed by a new iPad mini that’s between 8.5-inches and 9-inches during the first half of 2021. According to the analyst, the selling points of these iPads will be “the affordable price tag and the adoption of fast chips,” much like the new iPhone SE.

From the Wikipedia article on Economic inequality:

"In 1820, the ratio between the income of the top and bottom 20 percent of the world's population was three to one. By 1991, it was eighty-six to one."

The article does say that global inequality may have decreased in the last few decades. However, considering that the richest 85 people have a combined wealth equal to the bottom half of the world's population (according to the same article), the claim that the capitalist, growth-driven economies have led to enormous inequalities is a basic fact.

We probably have different ideas of what "political" means here. I simply mean that the motivations for dismissing SIMON and SPECK likely have more to do with it being the NSA that proposed them and the Snowden leaks at the time than any particular backdoor in SIMON or SPECK. I am not saying that is a bad thing - it is a line of reasoning and a perfectly valid one. I just think we should be clear that is the reason.

I'm not sure "attack" is helpful in this context. I'm not accusing anyone of attacking anyone else.

As an example, my view that lightweight crypto is largely useless is somewhat political, based on practical concerns. We have working AES accelerators and AES instruction sets in chips today we can exploit and for most of my company's customers, that's absolutely enough. I have a view; others disagree and have interesting counter arguments.

On the arguments quoted, there are multiple modes of the algorithms, and a constrained device is unlikely to transmit multiple gigabytes of data using the 48-bit mode mostly because if it can only cope with the 48-bit mode I'd be skeptical it can transmit multiple gigabits of data at all. ARM pointer authentication can use as little as 3 bits of QARMA, although according to Qualcomm the Linux kernel uses 24-bit PACs. This is entirely fine because the point is to require a low-latency check that is reasonably hard to forge over a short window during which exploitation is possible, not gigabytes of data. This is an example of an actually valid use case of lightweight crypto.

Second argument, AES is 100% broken. Yep. Key recovery over full-round AES. If I present just that fact I could make all kinds of arguments for not using AES, but of course I am neglecting to mention the fact that it only improves things by an order of 4 and that 2^126 computations are still required - impossible for 100 NSAs all joined together - to perform it. The time complexity of the attacks on 70% of Speck48/72's rounds is 2^71.8 so... likewise only a marginal improvement, and this isn't even full-round Speck like the AES attacks.

I wasn't at the standardization meetings, so I can't really speak to that, but if the NSA behaved badly then they probably ought to have known better given the fallout from Snowden. I'm not American and I don't owe them any special deference - I also don't trust them and I'm not advocating you should, either. I'm simply saying that to the best of my knowledge the algorithms seem fine. We've made this tradeoff to trust SHA2 before and to circle back around to the original purpose of this article I would be quite surprised to learn there is a backdoor in SHA2. This is mostly based on the fact that there is a huge motivation, in the form of embarrassing the NSA, to find either weaknesses or a backdoor in any publicly acknowledged NSA algorithm and consequently putting "made in Ft. Meade" on an algorithm is a sure fire way to ensure it gets a lot of cryptanalysis.

Anyway, let's leave it there, we've diverging somewhat from the original topic.
I'm Italian and I lived in Britain for a while. I would say there's a very large variability in quality, and it depends on the context. First of all, Brits mostly don't eat "traditional British". In Italy people eat Italian 99% of the time, and 99% of restaurants are Italian. In Britain people very much absorbed (even in home cooking) a lot of Asian cuisine, especially Indian and Chinese.

Food in supermarkets is often terrible. The selection of cheeses, fresh fruit and veg, fish in mainstream supermarkets is dreadful compared to southern Europe (or even Germany). But restaurants in UK cities are generally excellent and eating out is relatively cheap.

This said I agree that many Brits don't know how to cook. Supermarkets sell a LOT of pre-made meals. People go out a lot. But there is certainly a reinassance of millennial foodies that not only like a good international restaurant, but are also into cooking.

> Nice writeup but the Raspberry Pi isn't running tensorflow. It is mentioned in the article that the author is sending images to an edge machine.

Yeah I was a bit surprised by this, and although the article is very clear about it I think it's generated a bit of confusion in the comments here. My understanding of edge computing is that it means the processing of data is done at the point the data is captured, so to me that would mean right there on the raspberry pi. But the author considers their whole LAN to be the "edge", so basically anything that doesn't involve sending the data over the internet:

> ... doing the heavy lifting on a machine physically close to the edge node – in this case, running the Tensorflow Object detection. By doing so, we avoid roundtrips over the internet, as well as having to pay for Cloud compute on e.g., AWS or GCP.

I think their strategy of capturing the data on a very low-power device and then processing on a server on your network is a very reasonable one, I just wouldn't have used that term.
Mac mini, low-end MacBook Air, iPod touch…
Dependency issues, some memory loss, coordination. Real concerns if you're going to take it every day or drive or something. Nothing that would present a serious issue for this kind of occasional use.

The dominance of Macs for software development is a very US-centric thing. In Germany, there is no such Mac dominance in this domain.

Apple has a tactical advantage over Microsoft and even server-side ARM like Graviton: it’s LLVM toolchain integrated into Xcode for both Objective-C and Swift. Apple has a precedent for a seamless CPU architecture transition: the iPhone 64-bit transition. It is much harder to cross-compile seamlessly with traditional Gnu C or Visual Studio toolchains.

The App Store requirements make it easier to control this transition on iOS than macOS. I wonder how many Brew apps will make the transition seamlessly?
Surprised nobody else has mentioned the irony of delivering this - a tool designed to help you hand-edit configuration on a pet server - in a container.

Benzos are given to hundreds of millions of people every year, so they're pretty safe in my opinion. But they must not be taken for longer than a few weeks and/or in high doses! Because if you stop them cold turkey, you can die from the withdrawal effects (seizures).

> could you please collect the definitions of (i) Hyperbolic space (ii) Minkowski space (iii) Lorentzian manifold (iv) Pseudo Riemannian manifold?

Sure:

A Riemannian manifold is a smooth manifold M together with a positive-definite metric g on M.

A hyperbolic manifold is a Riemannian manifold M of constant negative sectional curvature. It is often required in addition that M be a complete manifold.

A pseudo-Riemannian manifold is a smooth manifold M together with a non-degenerate metric g on M (of arbitrary signature).

A Lorentzian manifold of dimension n is a pseudo-Riemannian manifold (of dimension n) whose metric has signature (1, n-1) or, equivalently, (n-1, 1).

(n+1)-dimensional Minkowski space is the Lorentzian manifold (ℝ^(n+1), η), where η = - (dx⁰)² + (dx¹)² + … + (dx^n)² with respect to the standard coordinates (x⁰, x¹, …, x^n) on ℝ^(n+1).
This is a big question for me, I hope Apple doesn't throw away the advantage that Boot Camp is (and that Microsoft are willing to co-operate). There would be some hurdles to it like needing Windows/Direct3D drivers for Apple's GPU.
An basic iPad/iPhone could work well - even when he was too young to unlock and use it much, my son was able to voice dial with 'Hey Siri, call Dad on Facetime' etc, and it was easy to make it to work from the lock screen. He didn't even need to touch it - turning on auto answer in the accessibility settings helped too.
Benzos can be deadly if used with opiates or alcohol, as all suppress breathing and in combination can just stop it while the person sleeps.
Yes, they are quite addictive if taken recreationally or used frequently for anxiety/sleep. Withdrawal is allegedly worse than opiates and can kill through seizures if done too suddenly.
Benzodiazepines are also thought to be carcinogenic to some degree.
When used for sleep, benzos will affect sleep quality even though they allow you to go to sleep more easily.

That all said, I have used a few types infrequently for helping to get to sleep and found them absolutely delightful, waking up refreshed and energised (and still somewhat relaxed) the next day.
There’s no doubt that the cameras and drop in features are an invasion of his privacy. Unfortunately his dementia is advanced enough that we couldn’t ask him if this was ok before we put it in. His son has power of attorney over him (allows him to make legal decisions on his behalf) and as I am the only person who has access to these features and the intent is to help protect/care for him, we felt it was a fair trade off.

You can limit the people who can “drop in” on the device, so I guess you could let most friends and family use the call feature and save the drop in feature for certain trusted family members to use in an emergency.
How about alcohol? I’ve only had one third of a trip and towards the end whiskey took some of the edge off.

20-60x the bandwidth requirements is one of the things that can reasonably be expected to improve with effort. Look at 2D video and how much better h264 is than, say, GIF. And the higher the dimensionality, the more data but also the more low-hanging fruit for compression. We had 100:1 lossy lightfield compression 20 years ago; we can likely put another zero on that, maybe more with machine learning.

That's what the linked paper is about - effective representations for lightfield data. The field is just kicking off.

They absolutely do.

One reason is to get the same environment they get in a cloud deployment scaled down. Another is Apple keeps messing with compatibility, most recent example being the code signing thing slowing down script executions.

Edit, this includes docker on Mac: it's not native.

All our senses, without exception, can only detect the past.
Every sensor (natural or man-made, photodiode or eye) deals only with the past.

Say a novice practices to catch a ball on a windless day. He gets better. What exactly is he getting better at? He is getting better at guessing the trajectory of the ball based on past 3D positions of the ball.

This guesswork has its limits. He learns the limits on a windy day. He gets better with more practice on a windy day.

This new knowledge too has its limits. He learns that on a windy day at the beach.

The brain tries to guess the future based on a sequence of events. This is why detaching from senses is an experience like no other. Meditation, irrespective of the modality, is a way to detach from senses. We do not live in the past.

If our brains were not capable of holding memories and only of detecting one event at a time, two cars moving at vastly different speeds would look separated in space, but nothing more than that. I think, our senses, our ability to hold on to memories (past sensor data) of events and our ability to compare two past events combined makes the world animated. This also seems to give birth to the sense of passage of time. Which also could mean that time does not exist?
If compilers could do this even with hours of time to spend, that would be absolutely revolutionary. I program in a high level language (C#) and my whole day is usually moving things to the stack instead of the heap, devirtualizing calls, making SoA/AoS changes etc. I doubt we'll ever be in a position where compilers can make these decisions well enough. Much less jit compilers and dynamic runtimes that need to do it with time constraints.

I've already been pushed away from Apple after the death of 32-bit. I tried the 2020 MacBook Pro but I ran into many problems, including software support, constant beach balls, and shorter battery life than my old laptop.

Ask HN: How to learn to create/draw mental models for programming?
I've been programming all my life and creating drawings/diagrams of anything comes very natural to me. While this happens all the time in my head, I still grab a pen and paper sometimes when the mental overhead becomes too much.
Currently, I'm struggling with a junior colleague. He comes from a different background (sales). Adjusting existing code, fixing and improving features is not a problem for him, but as soon as something becomes more complex he struggles a lot - even simply drawing it on a paper completely blocks him.
I'm looking for advice or resources that can help him improve this skill.
> If you can get over the socialist aspect of it, the BBC consistently has great recipes on its websites

There are two sites: bbc.co.uk/food and bbcgoodfood.com

Here's a scone recipe from each:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/scones_1285

https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/classic-scones-jam-clott...

bbc.co.uk is owned and operated by Our Glorious Comrades the BBC.

bbcgoodfood.com is owned and operated by the running dogs of capitalism - Immediate Media, who are owned by Hubert Burda Media Holding.

Current Conservative government is strongly against the publicly owned bits of BBC (and of all services) and keep finding new ways to i) put huge hurdles in their way ii) complain about the lack of efficiency of the service iii) sell it off to commercial partners who are not subjected to the same regulatory hurdles.

This happened (sort of) to the BBC's food websites:

Sure. I mean HFT is not destructive or evil or anything (not sarcasm btw). It is more about what fields are lucrative for programmers versus the benefit for socaity.

In my experience having a formal platform structure helps tremendously to roll new solutions. When the platform officially provides something, everybody in the company can make use of it right away. Unlike the pet project that's being pushed by a random manager.

Breakthrough can be pushed by rolling a second library/framework/platform. Like AWS ELB and ALB. Then developers can adopt the later if it's so much greater, but they won't because it's 90% of the same and who wants to work on migrations?

Large organizations are fundamentally split apart. First part of the org wants A and B. Second part wants B and C. The developer team next floor is rolling their own thing to do C and D. All while features A and C are incompatible so it's impossible to satisfy everyone. There is no solution to resolve internal conflicts (except maybe reducing a large company to 20% of its current workforce).
You could use Elo rating[0] range to rank them. Basic idea is that if player A has 100 points more than player B, then you could expect player A to win 64% of the time.

In rock-paper-scissors, everyone wins 50% of the time, so everyone has the same Elo rating, so the Elo range is zero.

For chess, a beginner might have a rating of 400, while the best in the world might have a rating of 2700. So you could imagine a line of 23 people, each of which can beat the one behind them 64% of the time. It seems fair to say that the person at the front of the line, representing the best that humanity has to offer, is much better at chess than the best rock-paper-scissors player is at rock-paper-scissors.
