Instead of the lunatic, "lead balloon" BS like this (or UBI, for that matter), I'd rather someone worked on requiring US websites to honor "do not track" by law. Right now there's this idiotic arms race where browser vendors (other than Google, of course) are baking in more and more anti-tracking, and adtech companies are piling on more and more sophisticated tracking on the other end. Because the problem is asymmetrical, tracking always beats anti-tracking.

Ideally, I'd like to have a switch that would just disable tracking on everything, and if I find out I'm still being tracked, I need to be able to sue. The whole tracking bullshit will solve itself in no time at all.

And no, GDPR cookie warnings are basically deliberate sabotage of this idea, because presented with an option with lots of text the user always clicks "yes".
Apple should just go with AMD 7nm cpu.
Oh, there's nothing remotely bad about the road other than the washboards. There's nothing scary about it.

We were able to cruise at ~40mph and generally passing 4 wheel vehicles, but by the end of the trip my shocks were totally blown.

This was the experience of Edmunds with most of the pickup trucks, even with "offroad package" that they took there. Basically, passenger cars and pickup trucks just aren't built for the abuse.

Anecdotally, one of the best treatments for social anxiety I've found is to always know where the exits are. At a concert, identify the exit signs. In a conversation, have someone who can take over for you.

Knowing there's a way out of the situation can completely nullify the scariness of that situation.
I think speech should be put on a pedestal. I hate to give such a pithy response, but if you don't - if you aim to work towards a world where nobody can say offensive things - I'm not sure there's much for us to discuss here.
They said the transition should take 2 years. I wouldn't expect much more than that.
There were an incredible number of tweets calling to "Burn it down" or similar (about the fires in Minneapolis after the George Floyd protests).

I can link a few tweets, but with millions of twitter messages a day, I can hardly link enough to be statistically relevant if you choose to believe the other way, and I don't have the energy to randomly sample twitter.

Reportedly 4th as Intel is supposedly trying once again for that market.
I read both of them twice. I found the concept in the Black Swan more distilled and polished. I started with the Black Swan for the 3th last week. I still come to new insights because what Taleb writes cuts also today straight through reality. Its like an extra set of razors, a timeless tool.
You should post the links to the other parts at the top of your articles..
No - but they weren't exactly showing us performance graphs to see where the game was getting caught on bottlenecks either, however.
I don't expect Apple to sell the hardware for cost. They are quite adept at selling products with a hefty profit margin.
I bet that they already have some low-level math library that uses ARM NEON intrinsics; you would definitely need them to port performance-demanding apps like Final Cut Pro / Maya / Photoshop / etc.
> No built-in emulation or other support for x64 binaries.

Well, I got that wrong. Rosetta 2 and some kind of virtualization support (no idea yet what that means)
Paypal has a history of banning accounts where any form of crypto was used. Hypocrites!

Good video indeed. Extra points for featuring Satoru Iwata!
People like interactive sites which give immediate visual feedback for actions.

Aside from the tracking stuff it's a better user experience, so it's unlikely to go away, especially if the demand for no-js is tiny.
So many people don't get this that it's astounding
The emulation thing seemed to me to be Hypervisor.framework for ARM, as they showed Linux and Docker running (which both run on ARM), but not Windows (which an average user may be more interested in).
Cilium 1.8 released: XDP Load Balancing, Cluster-wide Flow Visibility and more
Cilium 1.8 brings with it a trove of exciting new features:

- XDP Load Balancing Support: eXpress Data Path (XDP) is the fast-lane for networking in the Linux kernel, built on eBPF. We've extended our existing eBPF kube-proxy replacement to accelerate service forwarding by 5x in our tests while dramatically reducing CPU consumption at the same time.

- Cluster-wide Flow API: Hubble Relay builds on the solid core of Hubble and Cilium to provide deep observability across the entire cluster via a centralized API with minimal overhead.

- Better policy visibility and control: ClusterwideNetworkPolicy now supports matching hosts in the cluster to implement Host network security protection, and all policy types gain named ports support. New community contributors have built eBPF notifications for Policy Verdicts and a Policy Audit mode to incrementally deploy network policies in your cluster.

- Performance optimizations across the board: We've improved the performance and resource usage in almost every dimension in this release, from improving CRD scalability and optimizing the Cilium agent's memory footprint to various performance enhancements in our eBPF data path and size reduction of the Cilium container image. Hubble has been optimized to minimize resource usage by embedding the core functionality into the Cilium agent.

- Making more functionality iptables-free: We've worked hard on improving Cilium's service implementations to further reduce the dependence on external tools based on iptables. Several features are now implemented natively in eBPF, ranging from Session Affinity and HostPort to IP masquerade agent and IP fragmentation support. (More details)
Many more features: Native Azure IPAM provides better integration for Azure Cloud via a new IPAM plugin, datapath load balancing support was extended to support environments with multiple native devices, and initial support for ARM64 has been added with docker image snapshots.
OK, so should I sell all my macOS hardware (except Hackintoshes) now? Is this exclusive or half-baked like MS Surface ARM, i.e. some running on Intel, some on ARM? If it is half-baked, what's the point of fragmenting macOS and apps it can run?

What's the best non-Apple notebook these days?
Cotard's Delusion
Apple uses SOCs, the GPUs are on the same chip as the processor.
And if it were not polished people would complain about how apple lowered the bar, how nothing is the same since Jobs has died, etc. etc.
Didn’t that also include a discount on the final replacement equivalent?
I think this is RIP to the Mac Pro for anyone that cares about extensibility. I can't see Apple making a board with a socketed CPU of their own silicon. I'd even say something like RAM would be a stretch.
The transition plan (dev tools, universal binaries, Rosetta 2, performance under Rosetta) looked really solid if I'm being honest. We'll see how they execute it but I'm optimistic that this will be smooth.
Sorry to be pedantic but you should not confuse gradient descent (the procedure to optimize the weights) with the way in which you compute the gradients.

Generalized gradient descent is used when minimizing a function that is not differentiable at all inputs and has nothing to do with deep learning.
So how many watchlists do I get put on if I download this?
I wouldn't expect Windows for ARM to run on Apple's custom chips.
PCs are for gaming. PCs are for work. Macs are for... students and middle managers apparently.
Note: the gaming industry is not actually standardizing around Vulkan. It is still DX on Windows, Metal on Mac/iOS, and then Vulkan on Android
What about Maps?
So, you're arguing with me about something I never even said, while ignoring my point about excessive censorship and manipulation of public opinion? 'Revoke 230' or 'keep 230' are not the only possibilities in this universe.
Standard Apple support is 7 years from last date of sale. 2 years for transition, so seems reasonable to expect support most of the way to 2030.
Personally I can't wait for this to come back to normal: being inside an office for 9 hours every day helps me be productive and focus.
Unless the new ARM chips can handle VirtualBox well, I’ll pick up the last intel model. I have to work with old ASP apps in IE VMs side-by-side with stuff on my Mac every day.
Commoditizing your complement in life sciences
They don't - they only get the binary. They could be decompiling it, but I doubt it. They can see what functions it calls.
If iPad Pros are any indication, those chips will be extremely fast, and cost effective so the need for Hackintoshes ( I presume that is to save money ) wouldn't be needed.
Dumbest Dog Breeds You Want to Avoid
The reason you have trouble thinking of an example is that there isn't one. If you know enough Prolog to write idiomatic Prolog code, you also know enough Prolog to think of the cases where your code will backtrack and where it won't. Because idiomatic Prolog code doesn't do unnecessary backtracking.
Different segmentation - Qualcomm powered laptops are the weakest ultrabooks, compared to Macbook Pros. I really wish Qualcomm chips were better though.
your individual data is worth nothing alone. When aggregated with great many others, it then means something.
PowerPC = best at the time because IBM was a researchy CPU engineering powerhouse, but then got outclassed by Intel. AMD forced Intel to release its 1 GHz CPU a year ahead of schedule and generally pushed x86 ahead of PPC.

Apple/ARM = best now, because Apple's vast capital from iPhone success has allowed it to build a world-class CPU engineering team from scratch. Building the end products at the same company gives them integration that can't be matched by other companies.
Did I misinterpret today? Didn't Apple just release a machine with ARM and Intel?
Your comment made me look how old my current laptop is. "Mid-2014".

It's still as powerful as any of the current Apple laptops - progress has been slow these last 6 years.

Apple Events – WWDC20
I am one of those dinosaurs that still surf with javascript (mostly) disabled. I use uMatrix to control where I accept it from and my default is to allow none to load.
A remarkable amount of sites still work and you will always need to load some to get certain functions to work.

However, I am always amazed how lazy devs are when it comes to purely informational sites as there should be no need to require javascript. Sure, it might help with certain cosmetics but the people who disable javascript rarely care about cosmetics (it is nice, sure, but if you cannot view the site without enabling a bunch of untrusted code to run on you computer then I really must want to visit it to enable it and reload the page).

Hackernews, LWN, arstechnica are all sites that works really well without javascript enabled (ars needs it for comments, but I rarely comment so if I want to I can enable then).
Reddit and many more sites somewhat needs to it but you can usually see the interesting bits without it, so if you are invested or a common visitor it is easy to enable the few needed.

If you are directing your content towards the technical community, my advise would be to definitely test it without Javascript, preferably in a text only browser also. It does not need to look super pretty in these modes, but it should work. This is probably also a good foundation to provide the content to groups that uses accessibility software (think blind), but I do not know how well those tools handle JavaScript-dependant content.
I did not know that.

Perhaps it's just to temper expectations then. If the performance or user experience isn't comparable to what today's users expect, it's probably better not to celebrate that use case.
It helps explain why they haven’t added nvidia support. Apple is going the opposite direction and getting rid of both.
What if you want Hey email!?

The New Blade Icons Release
When I read the Foundation books a few years back, I was thinking about what it would take to film them and the biggest challenge I saw was the overwhelming sexism in the storytelling and characterizations. That part of Asimov's writing has not aged well. Not sure how the puzzlebox plots would translate to the screen.
It's doing both AOT and also hooks JIT compilers. They mentioned JS engines as an example for the latter.
Only if really all the mass of the antimatter is usable energy for propulsion. A large chunk this energy would probably be in the form of gamma ray photons: they are not usable for thrust and irradiate the materials of the spaceship, another large chunk would be heat. And I assume you would also need quite a bit of energy for whatever vessel is holding the antimatter in place (magnetic fields maybe?), to avoid that the entirety of the 10^14J is produced instantly by annihilation with normal matter.
Do you think most people know who makes the CPU inside their Apple machine? Go into an Apple store and take a survey. I almost guarantee no one will know.
Do you think they rewrote Mac OS for ARM, or altered iOS to look like Mac OS? Or have they secretly been in sync for the past 10 years? It's been 9 years since they rewrote Final Cut, and 7 years for Logic Pro, both rewritten for this day
Nobody cares about windows per se. People want to run legacy win32 x86 and x64 binaries.
That is so people don’t stop buying Macs into end of year
I don't mean in pricing, but design. Other companies have to design chips that make sense in the market. Apple makes it for themselves, and they can make chips that would not make financial sense, but perform great.

And charge you a bunch for the whole package, of course.
If you had searched it a little more, you would have found that it was a fake story - https://www.indiatoday.in/fact-check/story/viral-test-no-mis...

...and we need new, more hardware for CI/CD that's just dedicated for Apple OSes. Pretty sure we won't be able to use the 5 unused raspberry pi we have.
I wonder if they're holding them for the actual hardware release in Fall? They could still be deciding the tradeoff between battery life and raw power.
Disagree. He said Intel Macs would be supported for "years to come" and that they had more in the pipeline. They'll be supported for significantly longer than 2 years.
But the sites need revenue too, so the way to make ads go away is coming up with a ubiquitous micropayment system which can compensate the site editors if no ad is shown.
> there's a whole class of universities you can't get into without doing the honors/ap track in high school.

Which would those be? I don't have much insight into the "traditional" admissions system since I took quite a few years off from school between high school and college, but I didn't have any trouble at all getting into a well-regarded UC without any honors/AP classes. I did go to community college first, but I'd advise that for virtually everyone who's not funded by wealthy parents and interested in the social experience as much or more than the academic. No one needs to pay for the privilege of going to $TOP_SCHOOL just to do freshman level coursework.
Some people just do not understand that employees are more productive if they are comfortable. They think employees need an eye behind its back in order to produce.

If the Tomb Raider game was actually running on a A12Z system (without any external GPU - note that this is the same CPU/GPU on the iPad Pro!), then that demo is actually really impressive, even if the game settings are set to low-quality and the framerate is a bit choppy.
Visual studio code has an arm build now [0]. I don't know what regular VS is written on but assuming it's .NET framework I assume a build will show up as the framework itself improves on ARM.

Mixer had (pre-Microsoft) some neat tech, but wasn't enough in the end. The few streamers I knew moved there have all long moved back.
Most gig work is done through middlemen/platforms where only some contract work like that exists and typically for longer engagements (ie: through agencies and temp staffing).

Contractors also have more flexibility to develop a relationship with the “client” for better opportunties down the road without the middleman/platform interfering.
Yeah, but what I care about is being able to run Docker with x86 containers so that I can use the same containers on my laptop as my servers.

Not all packages are available in ARM flavors.
The same slide also mentioned supporting JIT translation (for x86 web browsers and Java), so Rosetta doesn't run only at installation time.
> You run a speedtest to their speedtest node, and it doesn't live up to what is advertised. How can the ISP turn around and charge the customer for telling them that!?

Apple announced the Mac in 1984 and sold Apple // based computers until 1993.

Apple announced the PPC in 1994 and sold new 68K Macs for 3 years at least.
It doesn't, they just had the graphics turned down super low.
Two reasons: 1. Windows competes with macOS and 2. I assume x86 Windows can't be run as a virtualized guest on an ARM Mac due to the different ISAs between the host/guest; it would have to be run in an emulator instead?
I found the same problem when I tried running off Pi OS 64-bit for a day—almost every app that _did_ have a Linux binary available was only able to run under x86_64, not on arm64... More here: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2020/i-replaced-my-macbook...

Zoom, Bluejeans, Dropbox, pretty much all the popular apps I used where I could find a Linux version for my Dell laptop, I couldn't find a way (though got close at least, with Dropbox) to run them on an ARM64 CPU.
Also interesting that the dev kits use the same chip as the latest iPad Pros (A12Z). I’d love to see the two OSes merge to some extent because I love writing on the tablet but find iPadOS not the best for general dev work.
I suspect people who do this would enjoy exploring in the Geoguesser game [1] where you are dropped somewhere in the street view world and have to figure out where.

I think for this reason they are not going to discontinue intel based macs as x86 is the default for many high performance software.
What you stated is certainly true, but Infinite outcomes == all possible outcomes in infinite quantity, and we know that life is possible.
I mean, if I had things my way they wouldn't be switching to ARM at all and emulation wouldn't be necessary, so I don't think it's wrong to be skeptical.

> You didn't see Microsoft demoing games for their Surface on ARM systems at all and for good reason.

Those were also lower-end computers with poor GPUs.
I would guess that their Intel emulation doesn't support 32-bit x86, which many, many Windows apps depend on.
They showed Maya (x86 binary) running on their Chip. It has some ability to run intel binaries on Apple silicon through at least two options-emulation and something that sounds like “jit interpretations”-lack of a better word.
How are literally hundreds of political parties existing and contesting elections in India? What case will the government slap on you if you want to canvass for an opposition, start a political party or contest elections?
> Linux and Windows have both supported ARM for a while now.

Many people who want dual boot Windows/ Macs want them for games and gamers want the sort of performance you don't get with emulation.
I don’t know the ins and outs of this. Just answer this question for me. Do any of the numbers you cite include donations by organizations such as the ones described in the article?

If not, then it’s not a very helpful metric since huge amounts of aid aren’t being measured.
Put `do stuff with lines` inside the context. Where it belongs.
Based on the Newsroom release [1], cost is $500 and the hardware is a loan.

Yeah for sure, I think these paltry per user numbers make a great case for having a user pay option.

It doesn't need to be physical force, it can be taxation, fines, imprisonment, or loss of rights.

But force is force.
Nah, I'd have to wait until early next year to buy an ARM Mac, and mine will be fine for a long time to come.

I am pleased I didn't splurge for the 32GB of RAM, however. I'll do that with my next one.
Apple kicked Imagination Technologies out of its SoCs in 2017, and arguably was designing most of the GPUs even before.

Going with AMD would have been a way more surprising route (and nvidia even more...), unless we are talking about the successor of the MacPro. But that will most certainly be the last Mac to be updated.

More interesting will be the high end iMacs and MacBooks: AMD GPUs or Apple GPUs?
New macOS is macOS 11 – OS X is over
If someone’s job can be performed from home and they’re at higher risk due to a co-morbidity it would very likely be a reasonable accommodation under the ADA to have them work from home.
If the PowerPC to Intel transition was any indication, they'll do just fine. Most consumers won't care, or will want to wait until Apple works out the kinks.

To put it a different way: the initial sales of the ARM-based chips won't be as strong as you think they might be, or as wide spread.

Having both Intel and ARM based systems in the market will even out the sales.

History is repeating itself, it's worth reviewing the previous transitions before making assumptions.
