I went 100% decaf. I sleep better at night and no longer wake up groggy. It's amazing.

I always considered myself a "night owl" who didn't like mornings and preferred to stay up late. I often spent the first hour or two of the day waiting for my body to boot up fully and for the caffeine to kick in. Now I like mornings better, and I don't look forward to the sun going down.

Switching wasn't really a problem. I didn't experience headaches or any kind of physical abstinence effects.

There are downsides to eliminating caffeine. One is that one becomes very sensitive to it. Many coffee shops don't serve decaf, and if I happen to drink a double shot of espresso even as early as 2-3pm, I will find myself stupidly awake at 2am. (On the other hand, if I feel tired one morning, some caffeine can be miraculous.)

The other problem is that the pleasure of drinking my daily latte has been greatly diminished. I used to look forward to getting it, even thinking about it before going to bed. Now it's... fine. The taste is still great. But there's something that feels like it's missing. I still crave it, but my body no longer does.

> Apple is going to save $200-$800 cost per Mac shipped

Does Apple actually have its own silicon fab now or are they outsourcing manufacture? If the former, those are /expensive/ and they'll still be paying it off.
Thanks; I think I see your point, how Stripe perceives it. "Payment handler not an online shop" summarizes it.
That said, extremely ripe jackfruit will also emit a sickly-sweet smell that's "so sweet it stinks", like an overdose of perfume.
> Considering they're selling a device with a 10.5" touchscreen and an A12 SoC for $500 today, I think they can go even lower than $800 for a device with only a slightly larger LCD and no digitizer.

While there is no digitizer, there is a keyboard and a touchpad. Also, I expect Apple is going to try to keep a gap between the base Mac and the iPad price-wise so they would add to the base storage and maybe RAM.

Then again, considering the pricing on the base iPad, maybe they will bring it down to $600.
The other problem is lack of variety due to transportation problems. You're limited by what travels well, and when it's hard enough to get one type overseas without problems, you probably aren't sending multiple varieties.

A lot of people have heard by now that there are many interesting types of bananas overseas, but they don't travel well enough to reach other countries. The same goes for other fruits. I remember once reading about a durian that has nearly none of the repulsive flavours, but they just aren't common enough to send away from local markets (I think it was in Malaysia).

On the other hand though some fruits freeze decently well, durian is one of those. Especially if you're cooking with it the peeled pieces are great.

What's the height of the desktop experience?
The Platform State of the Union presentation made a particularly big deal of “this is the Mac and the things you expect from the Mac will function as they always did”, and demonstrating things like showing the iOS app container file and moving it around.
I guess it should also be made clear that in the U.S. there are two parallel court systems, state courts and Federal courts, both of which behave like courts of general jurisdiction. The rules for when and which court system can hear state or Federal civil (non-criminal) cases are complex and have varied considerably over the past 230 years, but for criminal laws only state courts try state law crimes and only Federal courts try Federally legislated crimes. So one reason to create a Federal criminal statute is to empower Federal prosecutors, to ensure Federal judges will hear a case, and for Federal procedural rules to be applied.

I’d say at least several times per month I either accidentally nuke a background window tab when a close button "X" materialized at the last second where it looked like I could just move the thing, and the rest of the time I simply catch myself a fraction of a second before doing it.

Just-in-time UI combined with a complete lack of borders and affordances is the stupidest trend and it needs to end.
The iPad CPU/GPU is already thermal limited. An unlimited A12Z is right at the TDP of a laptop chip, at ~25-30W (5W per big core per anandtech, 4 cores, plus GPU and I/O, it's actually quite a generous estimate.

An unlocked A12Z is likely all you can get away with in a laptop, and inferior to SOTA x86 low power CPUs.

Not just diversity, most immigrant visas can be obtained through consular processing (CP). You don't need to be in the US for any employment or family based immigrant visa. I am not a lawyer but I imagine only asylees need to actually be in the US for their greencards but they don't need a non-immigrant visa as well.
You may want to run a hardware check, look around online for people with similar issues and hardware as you...or just take it to the Genius Bar. In my experience kernel panics in macOS in the past 10+ years has come from bad hardware, badly written kernel extension, or corrupt preferences (which a clean install addresses).

A few years ago I remember reading an article where Apple looked at crash metrics and worked very hard to address those. The criticism at the time was that this wouldn't catch slowdowns, hangs, or issues like "why aren't my Messages showing up?" which has been issues more recently.
It’s definitely ridiculous with a mouse but at least it works using the down-arrow key for some sense of control over the thing.
I am wondering if your idea of using GBDTs in combination with AlphaZero might not be most influential in areas where no neural network architecture is known to provide the right inductive bias for the problem at hand.

I think neural models are pretty unbeatable in many classic RL environments because convolutional neural networks are REALLY good at learning visual representations. In some sense, I suspect that the great success of AlphaGo Zero comes in big part from the fact that it really makes sense to analyze a Go board as a 2D image using convolutional networks: convolutional networks provide the right inductive bias for the problem of learning to play Go.

However, there are tasks where neural network are not as good, such as symbolic manipulation tasks (I am in a good position to know this as I'm doing research in the area of automated theorem proving). I would be very curious to see how your approach fares for those tasks.
Of course you can price it however you want. And you do. You are in control of whether and when to give away your data. If you use Facebook, you are trading your data for their services.

Power-performance is a very nonlinear curve, so it doesn't make sense to compare single-core TDPs with all-core TDPs. The iPhone XS is 2500 MHz when one core, but drops to 2380 MHz when both primary cores are in use, a 5% performance drop... but this drop lowers power from 3.85 W to 2.12 W, 45% less!

Hence it makes much more sense to treat the A series processors as 2 watt chips when looking at multi-core scores. They're targeting efficiently hitting these lower frequencies. You'll get a similar result for the 4800HS; it'll use a lot more than 4 W single-core.

That's what AMD is doing, but it does weird things to your lineup. For example, here's the 3700X vs. the 3990X:

https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2520?vs=2584

The 3990X costs more than ten times as much as the 3700X. It has eight times more cores. On anything threaded it smashes the 3700X. On anything not threaded it... doesn't. In many cases it loses slightly because the turbo clock is lower.

It basically means that the processor with the best single thread performance is somewhere in the lower half of your lineup and everything above it is just more chiplets with more cores. That's perfectly reasonable for servers and high end workstations that scale with threads. I'm not sure how interesting it is for laptops. Notice that AMD's laptop processors don't use chiplets.
I have played Pandemic a few times, and it ended up like you mention. 1-2 players took control while the others were mostly passive.

DoW looks interesting, but not sure how possible it is with 2-3 players and it is harder to get a larger group now in the middle of the pandemic.

> People are happy with 3-4 hours out of their laptops so Intel and AMD aim for that and sacrifice power for performance

Heck, I'm happy with 1 hour. I leave my laptop plugged in nearly 100% of the time. The point of the laptop is that it's easy to move, not that I want to use it while I'm in transit.
I've wondered that as well. I've always liked the smell of durian (as well as its taste), and have met others that do as well. Others seem to really hate it. I've always assumed that the vast majority of people hate the smell, but I'm actually not so sure now that I think about it. It might just be that the people who hate it are very vocal about it.

It depends on which part of India you're in, as well as the part of the city you're in. Jackfruit is definitely a staple in the South, and not so popular in the North. If you're in Bangalore, say, you're unlikely to find it in a supermarket; you'd have to go look for it in the right places.

I always wondered why apple couldn't resolve this with a rosetta like interface or shim. Really, why couldn't it run forever?

Apple could do virtualization and run all the way back to macwrite or macdraw. Apple just doesn't get virtualization.
I'm trying to answer that right now, actually.

For connect 4, once it's trained a bit it seems to do really well. At 800 MCTS playouts (<.4s), it goes from "I can beat it and sometimes we draw" before training to "I pray for a draw, it almost always beats me" after ~4 hours of training.

Connect 4 is a solved game, so it should be possible to sample the space of the trillions of (position, who should win?, what are the best move(s)?) tuples and compare the answers to your value/policy models to get some kind of objective error. I haven't had time to do that, but having that benchmark is nice to have so you don't have to do a "ladder tournament" against some reference bot(s) like you do for Go where you don't know what ideal play is.

After training it for 10 hours on Quoridor (using my personal laptop), it still can't beat me, but it doesn't seem anywhere close to plateauing. It goes from the agents aimlessly wandering around the board looking for victory row and randomly placing walls, to putting walls that thwart the opponent and navigating to the victory row.

I decided to implement PCR and try out some self-play techniques on Connect Four before I give it another go for Quoridor; a few days of self-play improvements can speedup training 10x. That's where I'm at now...

Once I test a few strategies I was thinking of firing up a c5a24x, 96-core box on AWS and giving it another go. It's ~1-2$/hr at the spot price so I can probably do a lot of damage for 50$ or so.

What makes Gitlab significantly better than the other gitlings?
Pretty much every SoC has cores equivalent to the management engine. Currently they have a handful of ARM cores on the southbridge that fulfill the same purpose. I imagine that won't change. "BridgeOS" is the term to search for if you want to learn more.

The thought experiment is probably moot anyway though, as Apple probably won't allow any kernels that haven't been signed by them to be booted like on their iOS devices.
> 246 kN of thrust, which is about 3.4 times the thrust envisioned for the Starship upper stage

AFAICT Raptor is planned to have ~2,000 kN thrust [0], and Starship has more than one.

And your metrics for fuel use are a bit off to me - better to assume that all of the fuel in the reactor is used with no possibility to recycle, because no one's going to be happy with you landing with a used engine. (And the value of a used engine is pretty significantly negative anyways - just look at the decommissioned naval reactors at Hanford, or the used fuel rods sitting in pools across the country) Similarly, a 50% burn rate is incredibly optimistic - commercial reactors normally manage around 6.5%, and while I believe naval reactors are higher, it's by a factor closer to two than ten. For NERVA I'd expect something more like 0.1%, because it'd be operating for such a short time. (minutes or hours instead of years) Combined, that puts the fuel cost in the $10,000,000-$100,000,000 range to operate for 5 hours, instead of $100,000-$1,000,000.

Or, coming from a completely different direction, from reading this [1], specifically page 99, NRX/EST had 176kg of highly enriched uranium for a 1,055MW reactor. At ~$30k/kg for 85% enrichment from your calculator, that means $5,280,000. Yes, modern NTR designs don't use HEU, but that means much lower power densities and thus more uranium.

Kids don't actually demand that much time. It just turns out a lot of (Western) people spend tons of time with their kids, so we think they demand a lot of time. For example, I used to live in Africa and in the town where I lived, kids 2 and older were expected to look out after themselves. Regularly, a 4-year old would be asked to go get some bread from the store, or even cigarettes and beer. I think this is natural, and helps the kids develop and learn resilience.

Kids will be fine on their own, and I don't think it's a problem for both parents to work for full-time, on a start-up or otherwise. Society should have no problem with a 6 year old playing alone in a park, or walking to school, or whatever. See:

My experience was similar to his.

University was never designed for all people. What do you think the admissions process is for?

The community college system is for all people. It’s open enrollment and will work with you wherever you are in your path to learn.

Universities bring together bright, motivated people to work on things that are difficult to do by yourself or spread around.

That is what they’re for.

We overload the system to also educate people who just want to do their assignments and get out. Those people would greatly benefit from an online education I believe. There should definitely be more options than for-profit “colleges” that mostly rip you off. This is a service that is desperately needed.

That new build did NOT fix the issue for me.

Now that I'm looking more closely, this looks like some sort of initial aspect ratio issue, possibly related to a resize.

The game launches and the window either starts maximized or it maximizes itself. If I restore (un-maximize) and re-maximize, the aspect ratio is clearly different because the logo in the center of the screen gets slightly taller (while staying the same width).

In other words, the initial aspect ratio of the graphics seems incorrect (squished vertically slightly for me, running at 1920x1080).

There was a movie where the aliens patiently let humans try to devise a way to teach a way to communicate, but they were teaching the humans a superior way of communicating the whole time. Would be a spoiler if I said the movie name and you hadn't seen it.

I wouldn't be surprised if various domestic and cohabiting animals feel that way about us. A lot of what we do is built around verbal nuance but isn't really necessary to get the same results in our daily routine, acquiring goods or hunting, or sex. Analogous to how adult cats do not vocalize to each other (at least in a frequency we can hear), or a person that is into you doesn't really care what you say only the tone. Our hierarchy of needs and wants are a shared protocol already, and it is communicable to other people that don't speak the same language, other mammals, birds, and cephalopods without speaking.
Yes: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/foundry/overview.htm...

There were rumours going around about its demise a few years ago, but a fair bit of that was simply their failure to ship 10nm parts on schedule AFAIK. They're still doing some degree of third-party manufacturing, and I don't doubt once they reach a point of having the capacity for their first-party products on 10nm we might seem them expand.

However, the inevitable flip-side of this is unlike TSMC/SS where Apple can bid the highest for the early production of a new node, Intel are highly likely to keep the new node for themselves to start with.
I don't think it's strange at all. Consider for a moment, what competitive advantage does Apple have advertising that the iPhone uses an ARM CPU? The people who need to know the architecture can find out easily enough, the people who are just buying the latest iPhone know it has an Apple CPU.
