The “ARM world” is almost inconceivably varied by x86 standards. There’s not even an agreed-upon boot procedure (the Raspberrry Pi’s CPU famously gets booted by the GPU). Efforts to standardise this in the server space are only just getting off the ground with the Arm Server Base Boot Requirements version 1.2 being ratified last year. I doubt you’ll find Apple subscribing to anything that they won’t develop in-house.

This is, after all, the company that developed the Lightening connector and sticks on its iPhones to it despite the whole industry shifting to USB-C.

Basically the OS situation on Macs post-ARM is probably going to look like the Linux situation on iDevices currently: occasionally somebody manages to text-mode-boot an iPhone 7 into a profoundly unstable hacked-up kernel and there is much merriment and rejoicing, but really... macs are going to become rather exotic (on the inside).

Have you ever wondered about your iPad’s boot sequence? Because you’ve never had to think about it. Notice how you can’t install versions of i(Pad)OS that are no longer signed? You think Apple will allow booting unsigned images? And all the Secure Enclave infrastructure they’ve built up?

Nah.
I think I'd lean towards "I don't know, but tending towards yes", i.e. I don't think the evidence is conclusive but it is highly suggestive.
I regularly get 80-200MB/s on my 8 core 7700HQ, though it is likely limited by disk speed.
Oh, 1,000%. Even basic tasks like working on a file, then pasting said file to a cloud storage app and then to an email/slack channel take an order of magnitude longer than it would on a computer. Long way to go before the iPad becomes a true Pro machine, but for some fields, it's basically there. Still, such simple quality of life improves that are mainstay/muscle memory on computers essentially take time and animations and taps to execute.
"Just"

This is some serious black magic, especially if it actually works. Even if it only works some of the time I give it an A for effort, since they could easily have just said "JITs will not work with Rosetta." Most applications do not contain JITs.

My guess is there are enough important Mac apps that contain JITs of some form to merit this work, probably high performance math and graphics kernels that JIT processing pipelines or something like that. I wonder if some pro studio editing applications do this.
It doesn't matter if you're dealing with a store run by Apple or Google (or presumably anyone else): the stories are all the same.

Presumably because to make the economics work, review and approval are done by poorly trained contractors who don't have time to do a proper job and need to meet quotas. And with anything security related, there's an inherent bias toward not giving information on the exact violations because this can be used to get around the "spirit" of the law while sticking to its "letter" (very true for spam, questionable for app stores).

Serious question: is there any better model though? In the non-virtual world, similar standards for the public good are achieved through things like FDA regulations, health inspections, building codes and permits, etc.

Since it doesn't seem like there's any kind of elegant free-market or crowd-sourced solution here, what should the standards be for regulating apps and extensions? What kind of "due process" ought there be, or appeal, or whatever? Is there going to come a point when app stores get regulated by a democratically legislated government agency?
Apple/Password-Manager-Resources
Right. The point is... landlines have nothing to do with it.

Letters are associated with numbers on a phone keypad. This is not a US-only thing. It is not a mobile only thing. It is not a land-line only thing. Keypads, all over the world, have letters on them. Letters (in the same way they are on phone keypads) can be seen on other numerical entry devices, like a keypad for a secure door.

As to pressing a number multiple times when texting, a half-second of thought would make it clear that this wasn't the case. Are you telling me it would be reasonable for OC (or anyone) to think that the NYT's phone number translated from

I wonder how it handles the stricter memory ordering from x86? For example, this code:

void store_value_and_unlock(int *p, int *l, int v)
{
*p = v;
__sync_lock_release(l, 0);
}

on x86_64 compiles to:

mov dword ptr [rdi], edx
mov dword ptr [rsi], 0
ret

vs on arm64:

str w2, [x0]
stlr wzr, [x1]
ret

Notice how the second store on ARM is a store with release semantics to ensure correct memory ordering as it was intended in the original C code. This information is lost as it's not needed on x86 which guarantees (among other things) that stores are visible in-order from all other threads.
I've come to really enjoy long-form podcast investigative reporting, as there's enough content that it's pretty obvious whether proper journalistic work has been done or not.

My favorite in that vein is 'In The Dark' by APM Reports, which was a massive eye-opener for me in terms of flaws in the justice system (especially Season 2).
I've been using a Google Nest Hub Max for talking with my mother and it was tricky to set up, among other things because it assumes you have a smartphone, so I needed a workaround. Also it requires the user to train voice recognition, which was very scary for her. And entirely unnecessary.

WEBP support has been added to the next version of Safari (14).

Good to hear. But that still means it'll still be 1½ years before enough users in the wild are on iOS 14 to make the change without breaking the sites for a large number of people. At least, from what I read, iOS upgrade adoption is very quick compared with other platforms.

WebP is something to look forward to on my company's internal projects, but externally we still have to support IE11, as it's still very widespread in the medical field, and I haven't seen the user numbers budge on that.

I've been reading this guy off and on since he was Yvain on Less Wrong.

This is a really fucking strange place to take a stand when his name has been public knowledge for...almost forever. The guy physically meets people at conventions and the like and introduces himself with his full name. It's been less of a secret than who The Stig (top gear) is. NYT may or may not be doing a big wrong here, but it's a fruitless act by [insert name here] given that his name always already public.

Strangely emotional though he claims it's out of fear for his safety (which would have already been compromised.)

I am compressing 200x200px and 800x800px images. For those sizes, while the encoding speed is slow for real-time use cases, for product images it's completely irrelevant - anything under 1 minute/image gets a pass and lower, generally, isn't better (or worse). I'm looking at absolute image quality/byte and it's even more niche than that - it's bytes to pass a threshold of acceptable quality (85 on Guetzli IIRC). I don't care about very low or very high qualities.

In terms of absolute bytes to pass this threshold, Guetzli felt the best when I was doing the research (~ mid-2017). I don't have any hard data to back this though - I did the experiment with 5-6 different product images, drew the conclusion and started using Guetzli.

> “I blame myself,” she kept saying. “I never let him out on Halloween. A bunch of Black boys together. I shouldn’t have let him out. But he begged me.”

Notice that while average white parents might worry about criminals before letting their kids out on the street, the black parents worry (with good reason) about the police.

(Just to spell it out: this is why so many BLM activists feel comfortable saying "abolish the police" or "defund the police", because from their point of view the police are the people most likely to assault or kill them or their children on the street, more so than random criminals)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22915837

I'd distill it as:

1. Every model should be presented alongside a discussion of whether the fitting process is well-posed[1]

2. If the fitting process is ill-posed, the model cannot be used to guide policy

3. If the fitting process is well-posed, but only via Bayesian regularization of some kind, before being used to guide policy it should be checked for sensitivity to choice of regularization, and the regularization scrutinized in exhaustive detail

4. Compositions of models must be checked for well-posedness

Correct. But there are times when anonymous sources are necessary. Look at WaPo and NYT's political coverage. They use many political insiders who can't go on the record but reveal necessary information for the public.

One example: Trump's "shit hole countries" comment. That came from anonymous sources who were in the room, backed up with a few on-the-record commends from outsiders.

It's irrational to assert that "unknown" risks are outweighed by known/"proven" benefits.

By definition, the risks are unknown.

Hello gqxhoqvpnb, you've a lot going on there and it sounds overwhelming, the comments about suicide stood out.

I’m not sure how to send a private message here otherwise I would.

If you’d like to talk to someone who will listen and with no judgement please let me know. I’m not trained or a professional in any way but I know the difference it can make to just talk to someone.

I’d encourage you to talk to a professional - sometimes when everything seems dark, talking to others, seeing things from another perspective can bring some much needed light.

I wish you all the best.
One of the best secrets to manage your email is to disable the Badge. It’s useless, really for the most part unless you can consistently get it down to single digits.

Instead you aggressively set rules to filter and check your email manually when you are good and ready.

If you really need to, only allow VIPs email to show up in badge count. iOS supports this.
It is also relevant that a good chunk of the ultra-rich in Germany came to prominence with govt assistance (that varies from slave labour to heavily subsidised loans).

Aldi is a pretty poor example because they are an example of a company that actively disrupted German corporate life.

So being understated is a north European characteristic but that isn't why German billionaires behave that way (they are often extremely overstated in private). They have no public profile because the way they made their money is usually horrific (Oetker family, Quandts, etc.), there are always vague suggestions of corruption, and they are very rich but aren't capitalists...it is crazy.

Also, the amount of corruption in Germany is huge. The most similar country is probably China. The state is run by and for billionaires. There is almost no oversight of this. The purpose of the German economy is to steal from consumers: low wages, forced savings, essentially free loans from state-owned banks to well connected companies, very weak unions. Not as bad as China, stuff like hukou is...fedualistic, but unlike almost any other developed economy.

You're confusing private property with personal property.

The police don't care about your personal property. Just try to get them to do anything useful in response to a burglary.

Private property, like land, or the means of production, is an entirely different story. Those things receive full police protection.

In Denmark after taxes you would probably have about 329,000+ dkk, which yes, that is a pretty good half a middle class couple. So you can take care of half a family on that reasonably, not astoundingly great, but quite reasonable.

In terms of work, career, the team etc. things are going very well. Have really enjoyed working from home and the balanced life style it has brought with it, am eating well, exercising regularly, etc. and so hope to remain mainly WFH going forward.

The last few weeks have been pretty tough though. I understand myself to be prone to becoming over-stimulated from following the news too closely and so generally heavily moderate my intake of it. The last few weeks really de-railed that though, a severe escalation in craziness in what has already been a crazy year, and I've found myself glued to keeping up with what's going on and what's being said by both sides of the current argument.

The hit to my personal, non-work productivity has been one area affected but I'm not too concerned as I can play catch-up on some of that. The larger hit the past few weeks has taken is that it has essentially confirmed my concerns that America is not, and will not ever be, home for me.

Watching Marxism grip America by the throat, after seeing the damage it has wrought in the past, and the sheer level of support for it now, has been incredibly demoralizing. Consequentially I'm now placed in the position whereby I've to start looking at packing up and moving my family's entire life yet again which is... not great.
I wonder what would have happened if the allies had screwed Belgium over and not advanced to protect it.

As well as the crazy political situation in France, their army was also far too top heavy and old, and relied on ww1 era comms. I saw the average age of the high command was something like 30 years older in France than Germany.

Maybe you could say the top heaviness was due to French politics, and that the the old generals did not invest in new comms, but I think that is a stretch.

And boy, those must be some fraught discussions. I think of myself as white but not White, because the notion White Culture connotes white supremacy. Black people outside of Africa share a common element of diaspora, at the very least defined in terms of their shared difficulties, while I as a white person in the west define myself more closely with smaller ethnic and national groups than with whiteness as a whole.

Still... the terminology of race is never going to be precise, and to the degree it exists at all, I'm going to be seen as white rather than another thing. So we might as well be parallel, and use White along with Black and Indigenous and other tendentious but sometimes useful categories.

So if I had to bet, that's where I suspect AP will land. But I don't envy them the process of coming to that conclusion, or the backlash they're going to get either way.
