Nice work on this! I was behind the implementation at oracle which you referenced in the tutorial. I still keep tabs on the lc0 crowd which seems to be pushing into new ideas. Did you pull anything else from the leela crowd besides prior-temperature? It looks like maybe you also tried a WLD output head as well?
Yeah, but this is their existing CPU/GPU designed to fit into the constraints of the iPad form factor. They'll likely have something much more powerful for consumer hardware.
If done well, then contrast will replace color for many things (e.g. menu bars) as a separating function.

If done poorly, then it will look horrible because they got the contrast wrong.

High contrast should be used where you want someone to pay attention (like an "exit only" market on a US freeway exit). Low contrast where you want something to fade into the background (like a mile marker).

The problem with "flat" designs is that it seems hard to get it done well. Just think how long it took the industry to get the "ok" & "cancel" buttons to highlight in a consistent way for users.
I think without Ive they'll take the battery life and market it as the incredible win of moving away from Intel.

The "old" definition of racism was something like "having an opinion about someone based on their race" and was essentially indistinguishable from the concept of stereotyping, where someone "judges a book by its cover" and makes assumptions based on what someone looks like.

Today we understand that that kind of stereotyping is a universal attribute of human cognition and therefore not explanatory. That is, you can't get from that definition of "racism" to the society we see around us today. Every human does it--everyone is "racist" by that definition--yes, including black people. And yet black people are still far worse off, on average, than whites in American society.

So that definition of racism is useless. It doesn't explain why things are the way they are, and we can't change the way our brain works at such a fundamental level anyway. It has even become a joke--see Stephen Colbert's riffs on "I don't see color."

So yes, the concept of racism has evolved to include power. Without power, stereotypes don't have an opportunity to cause actual harm. You have to consider power to understand why American society, on average, treats white people and black people so differently.
> I'm not sure why I continue to look forward to new Mac OS announcements every year when Apple continues to focus on consumer apps/features and not pro/developer features.

The only session the press cares about is the keynote, so geeky stuff hasn't been keynote fodder for several years. Everything but the WWDC keynote will be for a developer audience.
Mac and iOS aren't the only two platforms.
> YOu'd hear about MOdi removing article 370 from Kashmir, the Citizen bill, but you won't get the details about the real reason of why those are needed to solve the problem India has been facing since independence but no prior gov attempted to implement them (despite agreeing in principles on multiple occasions) just because of vote-politics.

So what is the real reason then to solve the problem India has been facing since independence?
Proposed emergency preparedness rules for SMRs blasted as a 'radical departure'
You need to understand ARM also has its own SIMD instruction set called NEON, and from what I've heard it offers more flexibility than Intel's.
Apple SOCs are going to be a big part of the performance/watt gains.
I love JavaScript, but no longer trust websites to use it responsibly. There are too many vectors for tracking, so I'm forced to block. I do way too many random clicks in a day to allow JS by default.

Half the pages I land on now say "you need JS to view this site", and that's totally their decision! I close the tab and do something else: they get to use JavaScript, I save a bunch of time and procrastinate less... win-win!

How on earth would one verify apple's privacy claims?

e.g. is biometric data ending up on apple servers

Does the iPhone's secure enclave processor make verifying such near impossible?
> Logic Pro

Logic isn't worth much without plugins, and I expect many smaller developers not to port to ARM, and there's nobody to fill the gap in the first years. If that is indeed the case, Apple will begin losing market share where it currently reigns. When there's no pro software, the mac will be just an iPad with a keyboard. It's quite a gamble.

But I've been too pessimistic before.
> I’m not highly conversant with ARM linux, but in my mind I imagine it’s still largely a second class citizen

IMO ARM linux is great, the real thing lacking is good hardware to run it.

How likely is this to continue applying beyond the year's end?
But if we put the wrong numbers in, we won't get the right numbers out.

This sort of prediction depends on the data being good. That's not a given. Even the crime statistics are problematic. There is an issue with certain groups getting treated differently in arrests and convictions.

So you could have an area that doesn't have much crime reported because when crime happens it's not reported as crime. Whereas you can have other areas that have a lot more crime reported because there is less leniency given to the population.
The problem is, as someone in the field of AI, I can see how much overhyped low-quality products are sold to stakeholders believing they are getting a human-like or godlike artificially intelligent thing, when it's just a bunch of linear regressions or multilayer perceptrons operating on unsanitized data without proper evaluations or misleading numbers in the marketing, careless ways of separating training and test data etc.

I think what the article says is likely to be true. It's a scientific cover-your-ass label for the high-ups to be able to do whatever they want and justify it. Similar to how CEOs bring in external consultants and pay them fat money so the CEOs can now do whatever they wanted originally, but now with Big Consulting Firm's stamp of approval. You can make these "AI" models skew to the direction you want. Just as it is with statistics and p-hacking, only that the machine learning community is even less versed in confidence values and is just generally less mature in terms of best practices as it's a newer field.

And absolutely researchers should pay attention to who they work for and where the money comes from. Fundamental research is one thing, working on general AI is useful for all human endeavors just like working on energy efficiency or better cars. It's a necessary part of life that bad actors have benefits from a tide raising all ships.

But it's not the same when directly working on a project for a bad actor. Similar to how Google engineers stood up against military projects or serving the Chinese censoring machine, it is important for mathematicians and computer scientists to consider whether they are building something unethical. These are professionals, intellectuals who have more responsibility than lower paid workers. We cannot blame the cleaning personnel or the cooks at the police canteen in the same way.

It is part of one's civic duty as an intellectual to reflect upon one's societal role and impact.

Again, this is not about fundamental research, that might be used for evil purposes. It's about directly working for corrupt organizations. Whether the police in general (or which specific levels or branches) is corrupt enough to refuse working for them and how much worse they are compared to big corporations is hard for me to judge from Europe. But it's certainly something that people working for them should reflect on and make a moral choice because they are the ones who see what they actually work on. There are many places for mathematicians and computer scientists to work at and so they have the luxury to follow their conscience. And all this also applies to intelligence agencies, like the NSA and others as well.
This is unsurprising. Both because it's Apple, but also because the kits are meant to enable testing on real hardware, not to be actual hardware.
Your "buts" are dead-on. Everything felt so distant and unauthentic. They should require their execs and presenters to not read from somewhere else and do it live.

Ask HN: What tools can I build to make your job/life a little bit easier?
Hi everybody. I've got lots of free time to write an App but I just have some preconditions

1. at least have some users

2. it has to be useful

3. challenging (optional)

4. ambitious (optional)

5. make some money through patreon or something (I hope)

I have some ideas myself but I don't know if they meet my preconditions.

1. a visual programming tool/environment like Opus Magnum or Factorio

2. a timeline widget that each frame count as a state in a State Machine (like in Adobe Flash) and you write your program by adjusting the timeline
and write code in each frame and you can put the user input as a layer and time travel the whole state of your program like an animation

3. turn source code into a State Machine graph where each node is a state of the program and each edge is either a
user input or time or some condition to make it easier to understand and modify the software.

4. transpile natural language to programming language. for example:

sort the array [3, 1, 2] in ascending order and name it arr1.

when we type that the compiler try to find a template that match that sentence for example:

sort the array $param1:[]Int in ascending order and name it $param2:Symbol

and there could be many implementation for this sentence in any programming language that we want

5. I wrote PostgRESTui. it's postgrest + static server ( + auto generated admin backend, could be added )

6. generate backend for your frontend. for example you write your frontend like this.

let productItem = (p) => `<div><a href="/product/${p.id}">${p.name}</a><img src="${p.img}"></div>`
pages["^/$"] = (req, db) => `home page ${db.products.map(productItem).join("")}`

and it figures out what you need for your backend.

so do you think any of my ideas worth pursuing or do you having some idea of your own
that you don't have time to work on but hoping somebody else does. please let me know.
I don't know that it's one more platform. I mean, sure, it's not exactly an iPhone, a Pine 64, a Raspberry Pi, or a tablet. It is, however, a very broadly supported processor family. More and more support is coming out for ARM all the time. If you're targeting desktop and anything smaller (phones, tablets, watches, SBCs, smart home devices) then the something smaller if it's bigger than an Arduino is probably ARM.

I think quite a few developers would be happy to use the same basic software stack on on a phone app and a laptop app.
The goal is to transition in two years. Given Apple's record at the high end, I believe that goal is optimistic.

I would be astonished if an Ax chip can match the media creation performance of the Xeons in the MacPro and iMacPro any time soon. The top Xeon has 28 cores, and matching that is going to be an interesting challenge.

I think it's more likely there were be further splits in the range, with prosumer iMacs running Ax and no-compromise pro models staying on Xeon for at least the next few years.

Trump to Sign Executive Order Suspending Many Foreign Work Visas
Maybe, but I honestly kind of doubt it. The Mac specifically serves as the development platform for iOS, so you obviously need to be able to install a compiler toolchain at least for that.

But developing for iOS also requires a bunch more than just developing for iOS. Mobile apps often require servers, and Apple doesn't have a server product any more, so it's in Apple's best interest to allow stuff like Docker (which, you'll remember, they specifically demoed).
If they can't get help from mathematicians, they'll try to do their own analysis with Excel spreadsheets or just use their gut instincts.
Nothing here prevents you from doing this in a VM.

The problem with being able to tinker at will with a consumer system is that you have no way of choosing who is tinkering with your system.

If as a vendor you take the security and privacy of your customers' information seriously, you cannot deliver an "open" and "tinkerable" system. The two are fundamentally at odds.

This has been sufficiently obvious for long enough now that anyone still complaining about how they can't run their own kernel on their desktop is almost certainly a surveillance-state troll.
I heard from random sources that their GPUs are actually (relatively?) very powerful. Better sources/experience appreciated.

I'm not disagreeing per se, but "on par" is really hard to say for sure, since you're benchmarking across CPU architectures.

And, one of the comparison points can only ever be run on a highly locked down black box of an OS.
Yeah. Lack of keyboard support in some apps. Not being able to drag/drop certain icons.

Lyft's self-driving safety report
This maybe a naïve question, so feel free to educate me.

If more software developers now need to target ARM architecture, does that mean that it will be easier to port software to other hardware, such as the Raspberry Pi, or is it not that simple?
I don't believe Rosetta will work for linux/windows VMs.
But if you're developing with Electron, the purpose is typically cross platform desktop support. This won't change that?

In brief:

Nuclear facilities with small modular reactors (SMRs) and other new technologies could take advantage of an alternative emergency preparedness framework under a new Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) proposal and guidance.

Existing regulations developed for large light-water reactors require a 10-mile plume emergency planning zone (EPZ) and 50-mile ingestion EPZ to prevent food and water contamination.

Alternative performance-based emergency preparedness plans could set smaller EPZs for small modular reactors and other new technology such as non-light-water reactors and certain non-power production or utilization facilities. Critics, including some regulators, expressed concern about condensing the zone and the danger that may pose.
AMD is small though. I have no data to back up my gut but anecdotally I feel like they don't have the manufacturing capacity to keep up with Apple's demands right now.
I hope they add keyboard based window management.

It seems daft to me that you still can't move windows around using keyboard shortcuts without third party software.
Any comparison of India with China generally leads to this sort of conclusions. If India and China were students in a class, China would be the topper of the class. India is a good student, just not a topper.

India has been making great progress on most fronts, just not as big leaps as China did.
I guess I don't really understand what is generally wrong with a police officer looking for a crime being committed in public and then stopping it?
What if I want the choice of using firefox with extensions on mac os?
I am really happy to have come across this post, mainly due to this fact.
There are many cases of reactive police patrols. For example, at a protest, as a response to a people feeling that it could help their community, and so on.

I assure you mathematicians aren't optimizing the "visbile presence in the community". That's not something you need a mathematician for. Mathematicians are optimizing the ability of police to maximize the number of arrests by deciding which areas they should patrol in order to maximize crime.
This claim doesn't really hold up. The problem here is the vast majority of non-Apple laptops & desktops that are in use. THOSE will still all be x86 for the foreseeable future as ARM CPUs not made by Apple all have terrible per-core performance. Graviton2 compensates by just throwing 64 cores at the problem, but that's not going to do anything for your Electron-based text editor that struggles to use 2 CPU cores in the first place. Or for a typical webpage, which struggles to use more than a single CPU core.

But otherwise as a developer-focused example the 32-core Epyc Rome compiles Build2 faster than the 64-core Graviton 2: https://openbenchmarking.org/embed.php?i=2006047-PTS-EPYC2EC...

That's going to matter when a company is spec'ing out workstations to buy, which are unlikely to have an Apple option on the table at all in the first place, and Amazon isn't going to sell you Graviton2 CPUs to put under your desk, either.

This _could_ be the start of a bigger focus on ARM, definitely, but to really make inroads into what devs use you'll need someone other than Apple to step up to the plate. Or for Apple to become vastly larger than they are in the desktop space. Otherwise we'll all just keep cross-compiling like we have been for the last decade of mobile app development.
Count me as one people would rather the cops just respond when called than cruise around looking for crime. If it's that important someone will call it in. If they want a better response time they can do what EMTs do and forward deploy.
This might be what pushes me to look into a linux laptop for work.
Man, getting paid to switch just to have the service go bunk anyway. Probably one of the easiest $30M ever. I really wonder if he lost any sort of revenue over those months that he switched? I can't imagine it coming anywhere close to the $30M he made just for the time.
I’ve had that mental block the whole time I’ve used Macs (10yrs+). The “answer” is easier to work with than you’d think: most of the toolbar drags the window around, not just the title bar.

> Are Rust macros at all comparable to Lisp macros?

There are two major kinds of macros in Rust. One of them, macro_rules, is vaguely similar to Lisp macros. It was partially designed and implemented by some big Racket fans, in my understanding.

> Can you re-write the syntax of Rust with Rust macros?

Within limits.

> Or are they more like C/C++ macros?

Neither kind of Rust macros are like C or C++'s macros.
This is why people say that streaming services are the end of TV as we know it. Netflix will produce a new series and keep it for a couple of seasons until it's no longer a draw on new sign-ups, then drop it for whatever is the latest.

I don't think we'll see long running series any longer like MAS*H, Seinfeld or Cheers, as examples.

Also series are going to be more like the UK with 6-8 episodes.
Treat it as a marathon, not a sprint. Making time for your mental health is not a cultural priority, and that results in a high rate of burnout across the industry. I think I'd have made it a lot further in my career, and faster, if I'd avoided that in my 20s.

This is used so rarely, in my experience, that it's jarring on first use but overall a good experience. Usually I find the web interface fine or good enough for how often I use it and move on.

Once I liked the Instant version so well I got the actual app. For things I do regularly and can be 100% via web, it is nice to see a better implementation via an app and install it.
