> I think no-one with the exception of Apple in the semiconductor industry has more resources than Intel to build a world class ARM CPU

Are you forgetting Amazon's Graviton? And Nuvia seems to be in a good position to dethrone Apple in best ARM CPU race too.
>I wonder what are the owner of Mac Pro feeling now having just spend a $5K+ Mac Pro with Intel.

Not much. If you bought that machine you didn't care about it much as you bought older hardware at a premium price-point. You bought it to use it right now without fussing and have accepted it's obsolescence in 2-4 years, as is quite normal for studios.

If you bought it as an IT enthousiast, well..why would you even do that?

I don't see Apple coming out with an ARM Mac Pro within 3 years anyway. Why would they do that? No upside for them, that market has to be won back first. Slowly start with laptops and iMac, focusing on consumers, get the OS in shape and third-party vendors accustomed to the platform first.

iPad-like performance is already fast enough for almost all consumers, and I'm sure Apple doesn't want to break with Intel on everything right away.
> The second view, where we put a specific dollar value on each life, has long been shunned by officials, who deny they do any such thing, even though they in effect do.

I don't know how much they deny it; what fascinates me is that different departments of the US government assign different dollar values to a life (e.g. when it is too expensive to mandate a change to the road building code).
Not sure if you're being sarcastic.

I guess the better question would be, if we are smart why are we throwing away so much useful stuff?

Good points. Indeed this probably really helps with getting the 90% of iphone users who don’t own or use a mac yet to make it more familiar immediately.

More cohesive brand experience is not to be undervalued either both in terms of cost to produce assets and perception by users.
> Rust seems behind on ARM, for instance; I bet that will change in the next year or two. I don’t imagine that developing Intel server binaries on an ARM laptop with Rust will be pleasant.

Umm what? Rust supports ARM as a first class citizen as does LLVM. They only list ARM as second class because it's not a desktop platform generally. https://forge.rust-lang.org/release/platform-support.html
The PR firm is not what I said is expensive, but whatever deal you reach with the contacts they provide you.

In other words, even if the PR firm is small and one of the best and cheap, they cannot really influence much whatever their contacts offer. They may have some leverage, but the price is the price...
I'd take what Scott Alexander has to say about this with a grain of salt. He is a bit obsessed with people who criticize him on the internet, going as far as to write about his borderline paranoid suspicions behind people making fun of him online in several of his blog posts.

Some people can't handle the judgment that comes with being a somewhat public figure, and Scott is one of them.

Hannah Beech has been an SEA bureau chief at the NYT and, before that, Time Magazine for something like a decade, and wrote for Time Asia for years prior to that. I don't think "deeply uncultured American" helped your argument, and note that most of the fruit-related points you made here were challenged downthread.
They tried non integer scaling, and it just didn’t work out. You could enable it with some “default write” on 10.4-10.6 IIRC and you could witness the various iterations, but basically the result proved that pragmatically integer scaling gave much more consistent and predictable results.
You'll also notice how the comments are not "wow, it sounds hard to rise to the top 1% of society and amass more wealth than most people will see in their lifetimes" but rather "wow, it sounds hard to be a woman".

I've honestly never seen worse sexism than in this thread. Truly shameful.

For reference, this testing process is similar to a standard one used with human infants. This paper isn't one cited by the crow paper, it's just one I'm familiar with that uses a similar process; it may be connected to the crow paper through a citation chain, as some of their cites also deal with human infants.

I clicked on this expecting it to be Scott Alexander blogging about somebody else getting doxxed. I flipped like a boat when I realized what I was reading. Holy shit!

That NYT writer should be fired. I hope Scott recovers soon. SSC is my favorite place on the Web.
I think Cameo comes at a weird time in human history, where media is so widely distributed/consumed that the number of somewhat-famous people is enough that it has driven down the cost of getting a "celebrity" to do something specifically for you, but is before the adoption of deepfakes that could produce this type of content at almost zero cost (with celebrities that may no longer be alive).
Bob Hope played golf because he didn't need the applause. Randy Newman says he does need it. So what? What's Jordan doing? What's Ringo Starr up to?

It sucks that there's not much "justice" in getting hugely rich but the fact remains. All kinds of folks get there. All kinds don't. Some work hard. Some just fail upwards. Don't fall for the cherry picked BS of "which of you sublime charter traits ensured your success" It's crap and it smells bad too.

To 15K in 3 Months
In Dec 2019, I created an account that specializes in a certain dog's pictures.
Less than 3 months later, I have 15k followers. I did all this with just 3 hours of upfront work and 1 hour of monitoring afterwards.

The Process

One of the most common practices on Instagram to gain followers is this: follow users that follow similar accounts to yours and then unfollow them later. The rationale is that these users are more likely to follow your account if they like what they see, since they're already following similar accounts like yours.

The problem: the manual task of following hundreds and thousands of people is not the best use of my time.The solution: I coded a program in Python that will do this task for me.

How It Works (without the tech jargon)

I give the program 5 similar accounts that I want it to do the task on

The program will start to loop through the account's followers and "Follow" the users

Everytime it followed someone, it will add the ID of the user to another list (to unfollow later)

The program will only follow 158 users per hour (this is because of IG's limit of 160 users per hour, and we want to avoid Instagram's detection)

When it's done following the users, it will loop through the previous days list and start unfollowing users who did not follow back

And every single day, I will find another 5 more accounts to give it to the program.

The Results

According to my stats, the program managed to achieve the result of around 35 followers for every 150 users it followed.

The program ran every two days for 10 weeks and got a total of 15,038 followers during the period. I've also written a program that comments and like user's posts to gain their attention and also get them to follow me, but that is fo

… is he? I think you've been reading a different blog to me; I have read all of SlateStarCodex. Can you give some examples?
Thank you for expressing my first impressions. Just to add my opinion, it is not hard to imagine a small leap from preservation of Narrative, where similar arguments are weaponised to justify limiting instead of encouraging
public discourse. All in the name of Database hygiene.
It's not just the New York Times either. Take a look at what happened to the NightJack blog in the UK (and in that case, it turned out that the Times had illegally hacked the blogger's email to get their information and then lied about it in court to dodge an injunction).
The spying argument is not exactly applicable for most scenarios. I mean you know you are taking a risk when you're using proprietary software running on servers that aren't yours, whether the privacy issues are intentional or design flaws(both of which exist in every solution, whether that be zoom, google, microsoft or any other competitor in that context). So with that I personally pick reliability over anything else, hence my personal choice - meet. And realistically speaking, very few people are of any interest to Google or even state agencies. I most certainly am not: I've applied for positions at Google in the past so they have my near - complete resume(now lead developer as opposed to senior developer when I applied), I use some of their paid services so they know my bank account, full names, address and telephone number and I use a ton of their products in general. I'm way past the "on the internet no one knows I'm a dog" state. I'm with Torvalds on this one - I'll use proprietary solutions so long as they do the job and there are no viable alternatives.

This is incredibly disheartening, I will miss the weekly reads - journalists position themselves as fighting the good fight for the truth.

If you want to be the arbiters of truth perhaps start with a solid base of ethics.

> why despite legitimate concerns are your writers comfortable doxxing people?

This is especially important to ask when a big complaint of the NYT staff about the Tom Cotton is editorial was that it was directly endangering their safety.

Apparently the NYT does not have the same concern about other’s safety.
Remember when Newsweek found this random guy named Dorian Nakamoto and told the world that he was Satoshi Nakamoto, creator of Bitcoin? They were almost certainly wrong and the guy got harassed for years.
Wouldn't that affect it in an inhibitory way, though? Black areas would be reporting less crime than actually occurs- so if reported crime rates there are still higher, that tells us something?
The take that I had the most curiosity about was #4.

I get where it comes from, but what I observed when I was in the military was if you asked staff in the operations center about data they would say, something like "we've got two drone feeds, GPS trackers, field reports.. we're drowning in all this data we can't look at it all..." Okay, great we got some money from the theater, we can get anything you want, what do you want? "Another drone feed." It seems that even if you can't use all your data right now, the long run answer to today's unanswered questions is usually more data, or did I not understand something about that take?
Exactly this. And the community plays into it. They imagine themselves to be Galileo —- persecuted by the state and society just for telling the truth.

The idiocy of claiming this is about prevent coronavirus infections from an administration that has openly stated its method for reducing infections was to reduce testing, when we have utterly failed to even remotely contain just the first wave of infections is beyond frustrating.

Off-topic, but I recently decided to program a forth compiler on a C64 (6502 cpu) and it's been both fun, and incredibly frustrating. It feels a lot like exapunks or TIS-100 from zachtronics. In fact, in some ways, the asm in exapunks is more powerful than 6502 asm!

It's been super fun and I would recommend it to anyone. The opcodes are designed for people and its super easy to learn. The perfect cure for the bullshit that software engineering has become since then.

Great point. Not sure about state channels, but there are proposals for the Lightning Network. You could reveal a packet of data inside the payment confirmation itself, so it becomes atomic [1].

I have been using Python type hinting recently, but I don't find it such a big game changer. Maybe I am just used to writing code without it and it will become clearer if I use it more.

What is often lost on people is that saving a life can (and does) cost other people their lifetimes.

I think this is the right framing. Treat user data like pollution. If you leak it or accidentally share with others, put a big enough fine. Have strict rules around safe procedures and handling of the data, and sanction companies for violating them. Make the cost of keeping data high enough that they would stop frivolous collections.
I doubt it. If you look at nCino S1, their professional services revenues are not growing as much as their subscription revenues.

PS revenues:
2018 20,094
2019 27,076 ~35%
2020 34,915 ~27%

While subscription revenues almost double every year since 2018. This is also highlighted in their risk factors.

What this indicates is that the deployment of such software still needs significant human touch.

Based on the services revenues and the sales expenses, I am hazarding a guess that nCino is a high touch businesses requiring significant sales professionals.

Which is why, it is key to understand customer retention in such businesses. From what I see, they have a 147% subscription revenue retention rate. That might be a proxy to customer retention but I'll try to get their actual customer retention numbers to be on the safer side.

Overall, yes this is no Facebook or Google. The risk section of S1 is very good and the founders are pretty candid about what the investors are up for.
You've missed off possibly the biggest advantage of ditching Intel. A perfectly usable machine without jet engine fans and a scolded lap. I don't use Mac's, but I see this as good for the industry.

>In my experience though projects tend to start in a single crate, without great attention to their internal dependency graph, and once compilation time becomes an issue, they have already created a spaghetti dependency graph that is difficult to refactor into smaller crates.

Important bit missing from the title: this is using Haskell (and Nix).

IHP is supposed to become the Django/Rails/Phoenix of Haskell.

I've been using Django professionally for since 2013, but have started using IHP a couple of weeks ago. It's still quite early but with surprisingly few rough edges, i.e. the developer ergonomics are much better than I expected. It has great documentation that is improving rapidly (as opposed to many other Haskell libraries, which provide little more than API docs or even just the typed function definitions) and offers a refreshing take on database management and migrations.

Some of its killer features:

- HSX, a JSX-like template language that looks like HTML while providing type safety

- Auto live reloading without the need to setup anything

- Documentation with examples: it lets you query the database without learning about monads

- it defines |> for you ;-)

- type-safe, composable SQL queries:

projects <- query @Project
|> filterWhere (#userId, userId)
|> filterWhere (#deleted, False)
|> orderBy #createdAt
|> fetch
I cannot stress enough how spot-on your point about open source is. I distinctly recall having conversations with management about whether we were going to pay for the things we used from the community, since we had licensing obligations, and the answer was a resounding "look at all the other things we're not paying for."
