The people who are being displaced are victims of companies violating the rules of the H1-B. Instead of scraping the program, they should increase the funding so they can step up enforcement.

Used property, the H1-B program brings in new talent and contributes positively to the American economy through both innovation and actual tax payments by the immigrants who can't even get all the benefits their taxes pay for (making them greater net contributors than US citizens).
> Imagine a UBI that pays a smidgen every 10 seconds: how does one emulate living "paycheck to paycheck" that way?

It's not that difficult. You just take out a big interest-only loan with payments exactly equal to your UBI. The process doesn't change significantly just because you're getting paid every 10 seconds rather than once per week: the money is already promised to someone else before you even receive it.

Now, it probably isn't as correlated to butts-in-seats as mid-management would like to pretend it is, and maybe those people don't deserve bonuses for being bad mid-managers, but after the US just blew $2T+ on speculative bailouts, I do think that the goose is required to lay a few golden eggs.
> This sounds like irrelevant bikeshedding between genotypes and phenotypes. It also doesn't have any bearing against my claims, c.f. my original comment about "significant population-level phenotypic differences between ethnic groups".

Of course it does: if the only concrete support for phenotypic differences is based on twin data (or similar), and that data is subject to magnification due to cultural factors, the underlying phenotypic impact is smaller.
Yes, you are stating the obvious, however, you neglect to understand that much of the policies that support H1-B labor are lobbied by corporations who want cheap slave labor and Indian consulting companies who want to ensure the H1-B pipeline stays alive. They will say anything including lie about "skill shortages" to enact these policies.
I'm actually not so sure about this. Apple's gross margin target is in the ballpark of 38-40% and a savings of $200-800 per MBP would have a substantial upwards impact on that gross margin number. Apple carefully sets pricing to achieve a target gross margin without impacting sales too much (higher price = higher gross margin but likely lower net revenue because they're priced out of the market).

One of the two scenarios (or perhaps a mixture of both) are more likely, and I lean towards #1:

1. Apple decreases the price of the Mac to stay aligned with gross margin targets. This likely has a significant upwards impact on revenue, because a drop in price like this opens new markets who can now afford a Mac, increasing market share, driving new customers to their services, and adding a layer of lock-in for iPhone-but-not-Mac customers.

2. Apple uses the additional budget per device for more expensive parts/technology. They are struggling to incorporate technologies like OLED/mini-LED because of the significant cost of these displays and this would help open up those opportunities.

Statisticians will be the best of all the disciplines at teasing out that sort of bias. If the police are going to be racially biased they don't need statisticians to help them. The addition of statisticians is only going to increase the number of people who are uncertain about the model. There are two broad paths here:

(1) Statisticians predict where crimes are likely to happen for the police using data.

(2) Police predict where the crimes are likely to happen using highly biased guesswork.

The statisticians are being irresponsible pushing the police towards (2). Option (1) can be de-biased, can be debated, its effects can be assessed and its parameters can be tweaked over time.

This is a choice between two options and the people signing on to this letter are arguing for the worse one. They link a bunch of news articles, but the academic complaint seems to be that the model says "assume crimes happen in high crime areas". That isn't a very scary model, and if anyone has an alternative they should be pushing it towards the police, not holding it back.

HN doesn't like Taleb because he dunks on a demographic particularly prevalent on here: well-educated laymen, or the less charitable 'intellectuals yet idiots'. I'd be lying if I didn't also feel targeted by him but I think it is also a core hacker value to grow thick skin and learn instead of getting offended and whining.

That, and of course he also wrote a take-down of IQ (and psychology in general) that pissed off a lot of IQ-fetishists on here.

He also made a bunch of money, knows a lot of advanced and ultrarigorous (read: French-educated) math and reads in a bunch of languages so even though he's a colossal asshole no one can exactly dismiss him as a hack, so he just kind of sticks there like an annoying wart in the face of "the discourse" that just won't go away. Personally, and in case it wasn't obvious, I sort of like him.

Edit: I forgot to mention he sometimes blocks people who give the wrong answer to the integral solving problems he posts on Twitter. I don't expect you to understand but I really respect that.

It seems like this should work so long as popular libraries support both modes. That should be easier to do in Zig, but if there is a popular library that can only support one mode or the other, or worse, two popular libraries that only support opposite modes, it will constrain any downstream dependencies as well, and you have colored functions again.

But will you get an error at compile time, or will the system just deadlock?

This might be something that just needs to be handled socially, by convention, much like you're not supposed to use too much unsafe code in Rust, and you should make sure that public API's are safe.

Very likely that there are people with different views who are pulling things to different directions.
Different diagrams are useful for representing different systems. Some folks also use symbols differently. Determining the flow of the diagram can be hard when some folks use arrows to show "what is next" when others show "data came from here" or "data goes there" (in this way, the arrows mean nearly the opposite thing). Usually adding simple "1", "2", "3" identifiers to the arrow paths help.

A flowchart sometimes is best, a sequence diagram is sometimes more clear, a step by step list sometimes conveys the work in an approachable way.

The act of writing (and drawing!) acts as a forcing feature for disambiguation and makes us organize our own understanding. I think a diagram that only makes sense to the author is a good first step. Next is going over the diagram with others to see how they interpret it and making changes to make it more universally understandable.
I hope it works out for them, at least they are pushing envelope a bit more for a change.

The best fit is for Macbooks I think - low power and being able to run iOS software is pretty nice.

For real heavy lifting (6k or 8k editing in Resolve, with raw video codecs, or heavy duty 3D tasks) I don't think I'll be changing from a desktop with AMD Ryzen and top end Nvidia in the next 2 years. Apple high end GPUs in particular are a question mark.

But Apple will probably get there eventually with their own chips - would not put it past them.
Apple is welcome to charge 2.9% the way other payment processors do. That is reasonable. 30% is a protection racket.

The vast majority of developed worldwide are using crummy Windows laptops and developing internal enterprise software :-) At best Macs probably have a marketshare of 30% among developers.

I think you’re right - by leveraging everyone who has now learned to create apps for iPhone and suddenly empowering them to create for Mac, too, we’re going to see a flood of underwhelming iPhone apps on desktop.

But that’s exactly the catalyst you need to motivate the more capable of that bunch to cut through the noise with powerful applications specifically tailored to desktop — and a very healthy App Store for desktop begins to emerge (just like the one we have for iPhone now). But faster, because now there are so many people who suddenly know how to create for Mac.
Note that in your updated example, `add2` has the exact same machine code in all build configurations. It's the calling code that is different - it has some easily-optimizable shims that allow passing the frame type to another function which expects such a type.

You have a misleading variable name there:

var frame = add2(a, b);
return frame;

It's not a "frame", it's just the i32 result of adding 2 numbers. This should be changed to:

return add2(a, b);

Or if you wanted to be very explicit:

const result: i32 = add2(a, b);
return result;

The only thing I wanted to point out in the grandparent is that a function is async if and only if it yields. You can see from your godbolt example that `add2` is the same machine code in both code examples, because it does not yield.
> Some is turned off but some still has to be dealt with (variable instruction lengths for example).

Modern x86_64 processors don't actually natively execute x86 instructions, they translate them into the instructions the hardware actually uses. The percentage of the die required to do that translation is small and immaterial.

> Intel tried to compete in mobile for a long time and failed even with a better manufacturing process.

Intel didn't understand the market.

I recently bought a new phone. On paper it's twice as fast as my old phone. I imagine that's true but I can't tell any difference. Everything was sufficiently fast before and it still is. I never use my phone to do anything that needs an actually-fast CPU. I have no reason to pay additional money for a faster phone CPU. But I do notice how often I have to charge the battery.

These are not atypical purchasing criteria for mobile devices, but that's not the market Intel was chasing with their designs and pricing, so they failed. It's not because they couldn't make an x86 CPU for that market, it's because they didn't want to, because it's a lower margin commodity market.

The RTB protocol describes the message that goes along with each bid request. So that is the information that all third parties participating in the auction receive as long as they are listening.

To participate in the auction you don't need to win or even bid; you pay an upfront cost for listening, buy a seat in the ad exchange. The whole thing is dressed as an ad-exchange, but it really is a data exchange. If you win the auction you get to serve your own pixel to tag the user, corroborate the data from the auction, etc.

There is a lot of value in winning and ad impression beyond the ad impression itself, but just by listening you can build advanced models of people's browsing patterns, and if you want tie the data with the information from another identity graph, you only need to win one identifier once and serve both pixels, your party's and the third party (cross cookie syncing). This third party identity sync historically happens at the client level, the browser in this case. However, in the future it will happen at the backend level, first party.

PS: Google is not the only exchange btw. There is APPNEXUS, Rubicon, PubMatic, etc.
Pretending that physical and mental health problems does not exist is a problem. It is sad aspect of human life that we reward social status and monetary rewards to those who are successful at hiding it, and punish those that either refuse or fail.

It seems worth to ask if there is a better way. It also seems that in a time where we care about inclusivity and diversity we need to let go of the perception that only people with perfect health should be allowed to lead.
I'm not sure how you calculated that but they sell about 20m macs per year not 5m. I also doubt the chips cost them 50$ per unit. The savings may worth few billions so it's not really like nothing. And they wouls save this every year. Will this change cost them 10x in pain alone? I doubt it. They already make the chips.
Don't forget negative caching. Windows famously fucks up here. A DNS look up these days is minute in the grand scheme of things and yet Windows still insists on caching a failed lookup for five minutes.

So you fire up cmd.exe and issue ifconfig /releasedns, ..., ipconfig /?, ipconfig /flushdns and then you go back to pinging the bloody address instead of using nslookup because you learned from another idle/jaded sysadmin to use ping as a shortcut to querying DNS, instead of actually querying what the DNS servers respond with.

Obviously, a better thing to do when checking your DNS entries is dig out ... dig.

DNS changes _do_ propagate: from the one you edited to the others via zone transfers and the like (primary to secondary etc) and thence to caching resolvers.

I wonder how that will pan out for the people running MS Office all day on their Macs...
I suspect the big motivation for Apple is less about squeezing a few dollars more profit per system and more about shipping systems which just aren't possible on Intel's roadmap. Just putting the A12Z into the previous 12" MacBook would be a massively better computer with better battery life, better performance, and significantly less expensive. All while Apple maintains their margins.

This isn't a zero sum game. Being able to ship less expensive computers which perform better is a win for consumers and Apple shareholders at the some time.

The only loser here is Intel.

The importance of real browser choice on iOS is not just "philosophical". It's not about bookmarks. It's about control of the web itself.

All major parts of the web now allow users to freely choose their browser with one glaring exception: iOS. Unfortunately, iOS is big enough that it has veto power over the entire web platform. If it won't work on iOS, it won't work on "the web". It's just like the old days of Internet Explorer or Java before it, where a proprietary platform maker had the precious ability to sabotage its open platform competition.

Researching the very most efficient parts from Intel and AMD today, 3x the perf/watt would be more accurate. Operating at a 5-6W TDP, the 2018 Apple A12X gets a multicore Geekbench score of 4730. Operating at a TDP of 15W, the i7-1065G7 (Ice Lake) gets multi-core Geekbench score of 4865. This is on Intel's 10 nm process that's comparable to TSMC 7 nm. Near equal performance for 3x the power.

I'd expect a 2020 A14X or whatever it's called to comfortably beat what they could achieve in 2018, so getting 4-5x the perf/watt of Intel and AMD's best is what I'd expect when operating at similar points in the frequency/power curve. The A12X was around 4-5x the perf/watt of what Intel and AMD had out in late 2018.
