For me as a viewer, an easy example is that taking clips of streams is relatively new to Mixer, and you can't even sort/filter them. Clips helped build a lot of Twitch streamers' popularity by making things bite-sized and shareable.

Ah, cool. Is there a significant operation in West Chicago, too? From the article, I was still confused by why a shortwave tower would be located there. West Chicago is close to Aurora, I suppose, but if it's for CME data center, why not put the tower in Aurora?
> in the case of the proxy icon, the types of interactions you could perform with it were mostly undiscoverable and unknown to a lot of users.

That's a good point I hadn't thought of -- I love the proxy icon. I'm glad it's still there, but this kind of feels like Apple is implicitly saying, "Look, for the ten of you who knew what this was, you still do it, but we're just hiding it from everyone else, sorry."
I suppose you're getting downvoted because people don't like the answer. O-1 visas are absolutely attainable. Look at the evidentiary criteria for O-1A visas: "Authorship of scholarly articles in professional journals or other major media," "Published material in professional or major trade publications or major media," "Authorship of scholarly articles in professional journals," and "Original scientific, scholarly, or business-related contributions" are among the qualifiers, and are natural parts of a career in these fields.

In fact, enumerating the criteria here is useless, because almost all of them pertain directly.
The Remote Revolution: Are We Reaching the Tipping Point?
It might be running at a somewhat higher frequency, because why not. But the DTK is not a production model, so I don't expect Apple to spend significant resources on it. After all the A12Z should be good enough as-is.

You have to consider that Apple engineers are busy designing new SoCs for the entire Mac line-up: optimizing the A12Z for the DTK is probably not their top priority at the moment. They will want to wow people with a new MacBook (Air? Pro? <blank>?) this fall: that SoC should be their priority...
This was a good read and I thank Tracy for writing it. However, I do have some remarks about the comments I am reading here, so I am writing a top level post so as to not single out a specific comment.

It doesn't become ok to stereotype just because the stereotypes are saying nice things about the right demographics. I read a comment here talking about women going into management roles because of higher 'EQ', and being better than men at noticing social and monetary rewards, and what not.

I think that if someone had made a comment about men having more 'technical aptitude' or something they'd be down-voted, and rightly.
You say this like people won't get paychecks from many different companies and that checks will be extremely difficult to get.

The Envelope Paradox
Maybe it's unfortunate, but nobody said being a leader is easy. It's why most (including myself) are not capable of such a role
Think of it this way:

1. This is risky for consumers. Whereas the PPC->x86 move was clearly a benefit to consumers given how PPC was lagging Intel at the time, x86 had proven performance and a massive install base. It was low risk to consumers. This? Less so. Sure iOS devices run on ARM but now you lose x86 compatibility. Consumers need to be "compensated" for this risk. This means lower prices and/or better performance, at least in the short-to-medium term; and

1. This move is a risk for Apple. They could lose market share doing this if consumers reject the transition. They wouldn't undertake it if the rewards didn't justify the risk. They will ultimately capture more profit from this I'm sure but because of (1) I think they may well subsidize this move in the short term with more performance per $.

But I fully agree with an earlier comment here: Apple has a proven track record with chip shipments and schedules here so more vertically integrated laptop hardware is going to be a win, ultimately.
I thought the same thing initially; it looks terribly cramped.

But the longer I look at the picture, the more I realise that they have more personal space, sound isolation and visual privacy than I have in my office.
This is true. Many other industries are absolute cesspools of corruption, nepotism, outright harassment and just all in all hellholes to work in, but the media loves to shit almost exclusively on tech.

Right. He had the right idea. Of course things wouldn’t change over night. One man making positive gestures is important but insufficient to turn the ship on a dime. A lot of mistrust had been built up by that time and others were continuing to build that mistrust. I think he did a lot to stem the tide of divisiveness, especially given how quickly things fell apart in that regard after he left office.

Looking into Amazon's power bill might be a useful start: Fugaku is listed as drawing 28 MW in OP. It's more power efficient than most, but to an order of magnitude that's a number we can work with. Amazon's power usage for US-East was estimated at 1.06 GW in 2017 [1] (at which time they also apparently owned about a gigawatt of renewable generating capacity [2], now closer to 2 GW [3]).

Either way you slice it, Amazon likely owns at least an order of magnitude more FLOPS than any single system on the top500. What they presumably don't have is the low latency interconnects, etc., needed for traditional supercomputing.

Lets contrast it with a poor question as all questions that are good solve the user's problem... but not all questions that solve the users questions are good.

Consider the question: https://stackoverflow.com/q/35647663

The answer solved the problem (see the final comment). But it isn't a good question. The text isn't searchable. The only way I found it was by trawling through the NullPointerException duplicate questions.

The question that I linked - it isn't a question that someone will find again. It is a null pointer question and the person who answered it hand held the steps to solve the problem. The person answering it was answering it as a service to the OP rather than a "lets improve the ability for people to find information."

Look also to https://stackoverflow.com/q/26566648 - the OP was helped, but was that something that is going to be found again and used to solve another problem? Or https://stackoverflow.com/q/26827621 - the answer is the duplicate and while the person who answered did help, that question isn't something that is useful or findable. Its not a good question (try to find a search query in google that brings back that question).

A good question:

* states its problem well in a way that can be replicated

* is findable by querying a search engine for the plain text error or problem

* is written (often edited by others) to be a useful technical document

Look at https://stackoverflow.com/search?tab=newest&q=is%3aq%20answe... and consider how many of those questions are useful for adding to the body of knowledge and how many are "help me with my problem". And as that's a query for closed questions - look at the duplicates and consider "is that duplicate better written?"

If a question is poorly written, difficult to understand, or is answered by too many different answers ("how can I optimize this code?" and there are 100+ answers) then the utility of that question to help other people goes down. Nonetheless, there are people who will answer it because it helps that person solve their problem.

> Does anyone here know how video platforms like Twitch managed to get started considering how expensive cloud data transfer pricing is?

Don't use amazon, mostly.

If you're really small, there are lots of servers for rent that have gigabit+ connections at reasonable prices.

Once you're in the tens to hundreds of gigabits per second, you can get cheap connections in datacenters. If you were starting twitch today, you could get some $1500 10gig internet connections. Then one server can support 1500 viewers, with an average of 1000, and cost only about a fifth of a cent per viewer-hour for bandwidth. Not too hard to reach with an ad break, and a subscriber pays you much more than they cost.

Bandwidth gets more expensive as you go back in the years, but AWS has never been a good deal, and twitch had lower bitrates too.
Where could I find small companies that rely heavily on influencers marketing?
Hey guys! I'm validating a business idea and I'm trying to reach companies that rely a lot on influencers for marketing, but that cannot afford an agency. I've been using LinkedIn, Indiegogo and Kickstarter, and of course, influencers, to find them but it's a reaaaaally specific search.

Any ideas?
You probably don't like wrestling either? It's fake.

I used to dislike it (and again don't care for it today), but as a youngster, when I expressed disinterest due to its phoniness, a friend pointed out that... "so what?"

Yeah, it's fake. So are movies and TV shows. It's just for fun, and it's not a big deal. People suspend disbelief all the time. When you choose not to, the ones who do always look pretty silly.
There are a lot of concerts that are demeaning to the artist too. I am reminded of this clip from a documentary on Katy Perry[1]. Her marriage was falling apart while she was on tour until eventually her husband asked for a divorce over a text message. She was left in tears backstage and had to force herself into a dress with pinwheels on her breasts and fake a smile for the thousands of tweens and teenagers in the audience. I have also been to a concert in which a band felt compelled to play their biggest hit to both open and close a show because that 3 minute song was the only reason a majority of the audience came to the show. I can't imagine either of those was a great situation for the artists.

Meanwhile Cameos can be incredibly meaningful for the people who receive them. They provide an intimate human connection to people they might otherwise have no chance of ever seeing in person. They also give the person fulfilling the Cameo complete control. They can be filled wherever or on whatever schedule they want. I would bet a lot of entertainers on Cameo are perfectly happy with the setup.

I don't think it is right to assume a feeling of morally superiority over the people who participate on either side of this service.

A fast, powerful bayesian model seems like it would be a game-changer. PUCT (the heart of the AlphaZero MCTS that decides which action to choose) really seems setup to model the action choices as a multinomial bayesian inference problem (it already updates the action priors with Dir noise).

Thanks for the link! I don't really know anything about the world of probabilistic trees. I'll check it out.

The only bayesian approach to decision trees I'm familiar with is BART (https://projecteuclid.org/download/pdfview_1/euclid.aoas/127...). I haven't used them, but I'm guessing because it uses MCMC to update the params it's not super fast. I've seen them used in causality applications for partial dependency plots where it's convenient to convey the certainty of a variable's effect.
They sell you a second of performance on a system. There's a fair bit of variation in systems even in the same tier, but you're going to pay the same price.

And low bin chips are still going to be more power efficient than the previous generation.

First things first, either you're conflating my response with the parent commenter, who is a different person, or you are setting up a straw man with your first sentence. I never said homelessness is "simply a money problem." Poverty has social, medical, and political elements -- it is not solely an economic problem.

I also never said it is possible to solve homelessness by just giving housing to homeless people.

Now, to respond to your reasoning....

Your comment exhibits some willful blindness. SF housing, for example, is crazy expensive. Research shows that expensive rental rates correlate to higher homeless rates. If you reduce the concentration of housing demand by letting technocrat employees work from home in remote places (Utah, Colorado, other scenic millennial hotspots), that reduces demand for SF housing. Lowered demand reduces price, which eases the threshold at which a homeless person is able to cover the cost of housing.

Cost of housing is but one of many situational factors. That said, it would be somewhat ignorant to look at homelessness as a non-economic problem.

For many homeless people, the issue may not be intrinsic to their mental state, but rather the result of situational factors. One simple proof of this is the fact that many people come out of homelessness after a while. Instead of blaming the person, we should evaluate the situational factors. Often, one of those factors is money. However, other situational factors can reinforce poverty as well.

All people experience shocks at certain points in their lives. If such a shock comes at a time of housing insecurity, it may result in homelessness. Illness is one such shock.

Poor and disadvantaged people must often be more sophisticated than their more-well-off counterparts to accomplish the same tasks. Imagine, if you will, a person without credit who needs to borrow a few thousand dollars to buy a car to get to work. That person may have to go to friends or family. If he qualifies for a bank loan, the rate will be higher than what would be offered to a different person with superior credit. And the loan amount may be less. Thus, he may have to buy a used, possibly problematic vehicle. The debt service of the loan, plus maintenance cost of the vehicle, will be elevated versus a new car at a fair interest rate. If the neighborhood is insecure, insurance will be more expensive.

Those are not solely money problems. However, they work in concert to bleed funds from the individual, preventing him from saving money. That's one example of a poverty trap.
I agree. I can run XFCE on a modest set up, and it does what I want.
They choose to be on Cameo to do it. So who cares? They make it worth their time. LeBron might do it for say $50,000 and say that all of it goes to charity. That sounds good to me.

I didn't start drinking coffee until my late thirties,
and feel as if I have had too different lives before and after. My life with coffee is happier, successful, productive, contented. If i had objective data, I think you would see it was more regularly patterned with respect to sleep, work, exercise. I think for me it was a little nudge across a transition threshold.
I doubt coffee is bringing a huge health benefit on its own, and I reject the 'anyone can make it if they try attitude', but as a smart enough, healthy enough, lucky enough person in a wealthy country, my fate was very much bounded by my own lack of consistent organised disciplined effort. A little bit of coffee nudged my behaviour in a direction that has made me happier, and perhaps ultimately healthier.

Ask HN: How do you find side project motivation when you have a great job?
I’m currently struggling to find the motivation to work on my side project mainly because (I think) I just don’t need to. I have a fantastic job, a great life, make plenty of money, etc.

The problem is, I know that I’ll regret not pursuing my side project as a business, because my main career goal in life is to own my own company and grow it as large as I can within my comfort zones.

How do people here find the motivation to keep pushing forward, when it’s not a do or die scenario?

I understand how this could be a weird question, and I feel weird asking it. I just don’t know how to snap out of it, and I know that I will regret it later in life if I don’t put the effort in now.

"0 new features" was marketing that seems to have worked quite well. I can't remember where, but I swear I remember hearing that later from people at Apple. The major thing is they didn't do a big UI refresh. In Snow Leopard they: finally rewrote Finder in Cocoa, released Quicktime X, shipped a 64bit kernel, released Grand Central Dispatch, released OpenCL. Plus a bunch of smaller updates and tweaks. They dropped included things like printer drivers (which now download on demand) which make the install size smaller.
I meant cumulatively. I'm assuming a "A14x+" on 5 nm. Comparison to A13.

So a A14x+ (15 W+)

30% frequency increase vs A13, because of higher TDP +

10% IPC increase (larger caches, design tweaks) +

15% Frequency increase, due to 5 nm.

A i7-1065G7 costs Apple something like $400. The A13 costs something like $60 to manufacture. Apple is highly motivated.
