That quote on the header is fake from what I understand
I'm a bit surprised at the use of the term "Apple silicon". Everybody seems to have started to use it. As best as I can tell, this is a term invented by Apple's marketing department. I believe it's meant to imply that Apple is producing some magic that goes beyond the CPU.

Readers of this site will of course understand exactly what is being discussed, but I'm concerned that the overuse of this marketing term confuses things for non-technical readers. There are already more common, and more accurate terms that can be used instead.
I'm quite disappointed too. Wish you didn't have to go to the submit a window page to know its not live. I was ready to give access to my nest!
For many people though, it may be one of the few options that pays as well (even after depreciation) and has the flexibility that many people that are juggling multiple jobs and children.

Because remember that most jobs require you to show up daily at your own expense during off-the-clock time causing vehicle depreciation all the same.

And that is a difficult reality.

> some kind of accident was bound to happen at some point.

This seems to be burying the lede quite a bit. This wasn't an 'accident', this was someone driving up an off-ramp, turning around, driving past multiple vehicles which were in the way to protect protesters and swerving into them.

The problem wasn't with the nightly freeway protest, it was with the person committing outright vehicular homicide.
I haven't written about it, but happy to have a conversation on this. For eg: check how underlay.org is trying to build a really granular graph of claims and assertions.

I'm not sure if a "tree" is the right data-structure. See this article called "The Spiral Approach to Thinking & Learning": https://learnawesome.org/items/1ef5ff78-7c37-4f5d-bbdd-1cd0b...

For this spiral approach, I think, for every skill we could have certain levels (beginner/intermediate/advanced/elite) and the dependencies could be to those levels.

Have you heard of upwork? Create a profile on it... and if I were you, I’d focus on marketing yourself for cloud services. Hourly rates range but the experienced contractors charge around $150 and there seems to be a lot of companies hiring off of it (some of the top guys have a couple thousand hours with over $500k earned).

The second bullet point of the conclusion states...

| Children are not a major risk group of the covid-19 disease and seem to play a less important role from the transmission point of view, although more active surveillance and special studies such as school and household transmission studies are warranted.

I feel like that is probably the next most important question to answer.
> What is on your future roadmap doesn't matter at all, if it's not going to ship in time to compete with your rivals in the current generation.

The point is that "current generation" doesn't work like that. If AMD releases Zen3 on 7nm and Zen4 on 5nm and the ARM Macs arrive half way between one release date and the other, which one do you want to compare them to? Neither would be strictly "fair" because one or the other would have an advantage of several months of advancement one way or the other. But doing all of this just because they couldn't wait a few more months for Zen4 doesn't make much sense.

We're not going to really know until ordinary people can get it in their hands and benchmark it.

The whole thing strikes me as Apple seeing Intel stagnating and starting a long-term process in motion several years ago which was too far along to stop by the time AMD brought competition back to the market again.

The problem is not the virus itself but instead it’s impact on the availability of medical care.

If you wish to talk about statistics the death rate associated with the virus is declining in the US even though the numbers of infection are surging. That is because medical services are better learning what treatments are effective. The death rate will continue to decline inversely to the growth of infection rate only so long as medical treatment is available.

The real problems occur when medicine is over whelmed by the case volume, particularly when hospital beds fill up. When hospitals lack the space to provide appropriate care and triage is when the associated death rate shoots up from declining below 0.1% to over 10% (greater than 100x). Quality and availability of care impacts all medicine. For example appendicitis is an easily treatable and relatively common medical problem in the US, but without available care the patient will die of a blood infection. If that example is not properly triaged due to lost medical capacity then it shifts from a minor concern to a potentially fatal problem.
> many casino games and other gambling games aren't games because you also can't meaningfully affect their outcome

I've never really thought about it, but it is definitely why I hate slot machines, in particular.

The only exception to that is the first time I was in Vegas with my wife, when I was there for a conference and she tagged along to gamble. On our last (5th?) day there, she was incredulous that I hadn't gambled at all and finally I jokingly said "ok fine, here, I'll throw away a quarter if it'll make you happy!" and put it in the nearest slot machine. I won $50.

In Egypt a decade or so ago, this was rife. There was the usual tipping, but a guy at the airport wanted a tip for telling me it was OK to use a public toilet. Watching cars is another common one, and it's appreciated of course but the implicit threat of damage is not. Offering to carry bags through the express security line in the airport was another strange one.

Maybe if you get in on the class action lawsuit against the city. There's no duty to protect (which is absurd, but apparently how this country works), but the premise of the lawsuit is that the city did worse than merely failing to protect.
Modern to me is novelty + usefulness. Touchscreens are modern when they do something better than an alternative. From a design perspective they’re great for dynamic display that requires (or benefits from) input... from a business view they save money on mechanical interfaces and can be used to offer new services to make money—this works out for users about as much as it doesn’t. I guess automakers are seeking to carve out a balance to stay ahead. Mechanical interfaces might come back as a retro luxury feature!

I wonder if the bigger distortion is actually the rental market. At least in the US, taxis are pretty rare anywhere outside of NYC and a few other metro areas.

I know for me, pre-uber I probably rode in taxis once a year. I would usually have rented a car at the airport in most cases.

Same. I read through this thinking "What, my team sensor on the data logger for my coffee grinder might be more than half a degree out? You know what? I totally don't care, and wouldn't have spent an extra 50 cents to get that much accuracy..."

I do have ethical qualms about supporting/funding "stolen IP", but then I've kinda got ethical qualms about the whole concept of IP anyway, and if you wanted to go hardline on IP compliance you'd probably have to avoid everything out of China (and everything that contains components out of China)... I wonder how often Apple get counterfeit components slipping through on Foxconn production lines, and how much effort they put into stopping it beyond extensive QA - which only ensures any counterfeits that make it through need to be close-enough to functionally equivalent to pass all the tests? The "test after" approach kinda pushes towards more IP infringement rather than less, since it's likely parts built from stolen designs would pass more often that parts reimplemented according to the spec?
I think the intent behind the goodwill repair is important. If Tesla is doing this intentionally as a legal loophole, then there’s a problem.

But electric cars are new, we’re still understanding some of the problems with them, and we’re still understanding how people are using them. It’s not unreasonable for Tesla to have a high rate for these repairs given how unique their product is.

Let me put it this way:

We want things to be true and universal.

People vary widely in their response to this virus. We do not understand why very well. A lot remains unclear. Too much.

This mode we are in could be the default for a sustained time. As we go through the year, I see that as being increasingly likely.

As people face reality as it is being shown to us, I expect large numbers of them to get on with living differently as we work on cures and hopefully vaccine.

Until we actualize those things, caution is totally warranted and indicated.

Most of the world gets that. The US doesn't yet.

There are reasons why our passports aren't much good right now. Our discussion here is one of them.

All you put here is suggestive and hopeful.

Let's hope.

In the meantime, we don't know as much as we should and caution is again, totally warranted and indicated.

Which is why minimum wage jobs are ideal for them. Unfortunately, there aren't enough jobs available farther up the chain. So older people with families are taking the low wage jobs.

Daniel Griffin spoke about this in the newest episode of This Week in Virology[1].

Summary of his explanation:

1 - Younger people are getting infected, and when younger people get infected the death rate tends to be lower

2 - Doctors are better at managing patients. Even when you look at people of the same age ending up in hospitals, they are much less likely to die.

3 - Doctors are avoiding "that kitchen sink of toxic cocktails".

4 - About half of the deaths in the NY area were in the nursing homes, which were unable to protect their vulnerable population, due to a mistaken policy which was changed on May 10th, so now these populations are better protected.

5 - People take time to die, so we'll probably start seeing an uptick in deaths in the next week.

There are no "generations". It is a simplification when we talk about "boomers" and "generation-X" and "millennials". Every year about the same number of people get born and die. You could say that every year is a new "generation".

Talking about "generations" is a bit like talking about signs of Zodiac. Are you a millennial? Or are you Capricorn?
>That is because medical services are better learning what treatments are effective.

Not sure that's true. The average age of infected is much lower than it was a couple months ago. It's likely that more people who aren't at risk of serious complications are being infected now and we're testing much more than we had been -- including people w/o symptoms. A couple months ago most people who weren't considered at-risk couldn't get a test even if they had symptoms.

Where Site Reliability Engineering / DevOps on-call is a 10 on the scale, what is at 0?

Is this more a company culture thing? Are managers at tech companies who are managing software engineer employees able to turn off their phones and walk away during the weekends? Are there any more universal roles where this is the case?

I ask this as a web developer a few years into my career, and I don't want to spend the next 30 years on-call. It seems like there would be little necessecity to call up a datascientist at 1am to urgently report on some numbers, or a hardware engineer can answer the questions when he gets back into the office the next day?

That is the more common sense you will find, which implies the predecessor's passing. Not very positive state for the ancestor.

That's simply not true, this article is definitely about science.

Then you'd have to read more than four sentences of the article.

"To some scientists, Kanzi’s intellectual feats demonstrated clearly that language was not unique to human beings."

"The controversy masked an uncomfortable truth: No one agreed on what the difference between language and communication actually was."

The article then goes on to describe a wide variety of events which explain what happened with the Bonobos, highlighting events which might be indicators of discoveries and difficulties with collecting scientific observations about Bonobos and language/communication.

Sure, their mistaken proof of the n->n+1 implication could be taken for what it does prove, and such a theorem could be used in other circumstances to prove different things, but that doesn't really bear on any of the claims in the original context.

Nobody was trying or claiming to be doing any other kind of induction. They said they had the base case and the inductive step, and they were clear about the base case and the inductive step. Their proof of the base case was correct, and their proof of the inductive step did not prove what they said it did. It doesn't matter what it did prove.

No... there was a time when Maxim parts weren't really available through the major distributors. They had one of the most generous sample programs, but apart from that they seemingly wanted to draw you into some heavyweight direct sales process based around millions of parts per year. As the things I was designing were mostly aiming for quantities in the thousands, it made me not even bother considering their parts.
I guess what I really mean to highlight is that it's not just a question of Microsoft being bad at marketing - it's more like they don't have a mass-marketable product.

"Some of your software will work on this" is a throwback to Windows XP 64-bit edition, people don't want to deal with that.

Before you panic, note that this post is full of incorrectly computed conditional probabilities.

It claims 19% of the whole population will be hospitalized at 100% infection rate. This seems high, but let’s go with it.

It then cites a study saying 18% of hospitalized patients’ hearts showed evidence of scarring.

Later, it computes:

> 62,358,000 hospitalized.
59,076,000 people with permanent heart damage.

Multiplying the hospitalized count by 18% gives 11,224,440, or 3.7% of the population. I’m assuming that no people that avoid the hospital will have heart damage. The post assumes there is no correlation between disease severity and hospitalization.

The true rate is probably somewhere in between, and probably closer to 4% than 18%.

We can roughly estimate this from the effects of the 1918 flu, which killed way more people, and killed healthy, working age people. The overall effect on GDP was tiny compared to the effect we're seeing from the lockdowns.
Assuming children do not spread covid-19 as much as adults, it would be fair to say they still do spread at some degree. Therefore, the question is what is the risk tolerance that is acceptable to society? Are we as a society willing to accept that some adults will be infected and/or die as a result of children going to school? What's the acceptable risk tolerance for teachers? If there is an assumption that some teachers will die, how many is too many?
I agree that anyone who built a device and knowingly used a counterfeit FTDI chip deserved to be punished.

However, the FTDI debacle didn't punish those people, they're not the consumers. It punished end users who have no idea what an FTDI chip is or does or that one exists in the products they buy.

In your airliner microcontroller example, you have much more informed consumers. They could reasonably be expected to know what processor is in their hardware, and to want to validate it. That's not the same.

It would be more like a good packaging manufacturer finding that their packaging was being counterfeited and their proprietary plastic blend was somehow being leaked up the supply chain. If they changed their recipe to something toxic, but using good plastic internally, and when people started dying said "they should have bought potato chips packaged in genuine FoodSafeStuff bags". People don't know what their packaging is made from or who it's made by. They have no way to verify it prior to purchase, and even after purchase, it would take an expert to identify. And there's no customer loyalty based on the plastic bag, after the food manufacturer switches away from the counterfeit they won't be significantly harmed. But everyone who innocently bought those bags and got poisoned suffered real harm.
