This is so true (and so sad). The web is no longer everyone's playground. If you want to play, you play by Apple's rules, or by Facebook's rules. This is a double-edged sword, because it was, after all, Apple's way that gave way to the phone app renaissance of the 2010s.

It could be political reasons, or it could be that there are no Russian or European stealth aircraft. And it looks like Israel values the ability of F-35 to fly all the way to Tehran undetected [1].

My timeline was off,in the late 90' the 3DFX Voodoo(3?l was eating both their lunches.

I agree ATI still dominated Nvidia in sales well into the 00's, Nvidia took a long time to offer competitive cards. The solder issues & Cap Plague didn't help them any, either.
If compilers paid the way games do you’d be laughing at John Carmack way back there in your rearview mirror!
Thank god intel leadership fired so many in senior engineering to replace with H1B. Clearly that was a long term strategy aimed at success and not a short term cash grab to pump stock aka executive compensation.

Now that intel has inarguably turned their 3+ year process lead into a 2 year lag I’m sure the people responsible will be held accountable.
What do you mean "became"? The CIA launched a war in Cuba in the 1960s.
I find his comments on vocational education particularly telling since he's part of the political elites that have been deriding vocational education and promoting "higher education" that is more indoctrination oriented vs. actually educating.

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple being a major contributor in propping up China for so long before taking action (like their recent diversifications to India and Brazil for manufacturing) is going to be a stain on his legacy long term.
Is the mult5 example an actual piece of code of your program?

Any multiplication where one multiplicand is a constant should be much faster with shifts and adds than with a loop. mult5, e.g. is: x+(x<<2)
Tim Cook is full of st. He's working with the best-of-the-best that China has to offer, of course that kind of labor isn't going to be cheap.

Sorry Tim, but most Chinese electronics companies are not going to be able to reliably produce parts for the iPhone. I can barely get LEDs from China that aren't mislabeled or miswired to show the wrong colors. There's so much variance in quality and that is a result of cheap labor - cheap labor is absolutely still a reason people manufacture in China and accept the risks involved with cheap manufacturing. It has nothing to do with China "doing a better job of it".
This is an important point. When hon hai builds the plant they have to capitalize it over 40 years or so (per whatever the local equivalent of GAAP is). For Apple it’s a current expense. Now most companies would prefer the longer capitalization period (it will increase earnings) but but with apple’s huge cash reserves and almost by definition nothing better to invest them in than Apple growth, this lets them take advantage of the investment right away, then move elsewhere if the numbers look better.
This doesn't seem to work for evening, for reference.

I have a feeling that this is probably because requests to https://cdn.jsdelivr.net are being blocked by a Chrome extension you have running. This request is required to load the Bulma CSS framework (which includes no Javascript).

There is way too much pressure on people to get enough sleep. We are told it's scientifically and medically important, but it doesn't help people feel more relaxed thinking that their brains are turning into a disheveled walnut from not getting the perfect 8 hours of sleep each night.

Why We sleep provides some good insights and tips but it can also make one feel quite scared of not getting enough sleep. We should stop feeling so pressured and ashamed if we don't get the prefect 8 hours.

Thinking of it objectively, what was sleeping really like hundreds or thousands of years ago? Did we ever have a time where the perfect sleep was attainable, purely free of stresses, in 100% darkness with no interference, or is that just an idea we have?

Personally what makes sleeping harder for me, is all the anxiety around getting great sleep and the negative feelings I have towards that experience the next day. Usually by lunchtime I forgot I had a bad sleep and all the negative feelings associated with it and just get on with life, and I feel ok.

1) These two single volume histories were good starts for me: a) John Keay's "China: A History" and b) Fairbank/Goldman's "China: A New History".

2) HUP's History of Imperial China six volume series edited by UBC Sinologist Timothy Brook is a deeeep dive.

3) The People's Trilogy by Dikotter is heralded for its presentation of Mao's China. Julia Lovell also has a recent work on Maoism that's been lauded.

4) Finally, something more strategic/contemporaneous and forward looking is Martin Jacques' "When China Rules the World".

I actually donated all of my income this year, all the money I earned after paying for food and rent. That amounted to about 300k. Saved my ass during taxes yesterday. Owed the government around 80k, but then after I put my charitable donations it looks like I may actually get some money back from the government (which again, I would be donating).
If your goal is higher leadership roles, then neither - look for Job C, where you are a full-time manager/leader, and you can focus on increasing your leadership skills, not re-tooling your tech skills. You can likely look for a higher place on the org chart in a smaller company to hone your management skills, and than start the big fish/small pond dance, where you get good at a role in a small company, upgrade to a later role in a bigger company, then go for an even higher role in a small company again. Rinse/repeat every few years.
A corporation shouldn’t have financial or social responsibility for its workers. The main reason that the gig economy is such a big problem in the US is that we tie health insurance, disability and unemployment insurance to the employer.
The A13 in Apple's iPhone is on the same TSMC process node as AMD's current chiplets and compares quite favorably despite a greatly reduced power budget and a lack of active cooling.

>Last year I’ve noted that the A12 was margins off the best desktop CPU cores. This year, the A13 has essentially matched best that AMD and Intel have to offer – in SPECint2006 at least. In SPECfp2006 the A13 is still roughly 15% behind.

Usenet is flooded with spam to the point of being unusable, and besides, having everyone use the same interface and see images alongside is different from having people use a multitude of different clients that present binary attachments in various different ways.

With a decently sized crowd from HN, there could be a lot of interesting content on a Minichan like site. The crowd would be small enough that I don’t think there would be much point in decentralizing it. Besides, with centralization then mods still have a fighting chance of keeping the quality of the posts up to par, if they felt so inclined.

The value of anonymous discussion is that every thread is a fresh start. You can express yourself about what’s on your mind without be constrained by your own desire to make everything you say fit into some bigger picture of an identity of self. If that makes sense. But also, it is different from making throwaway accounts on sites where all other people are using identities. Admittedly on Minichan there are many people that use names and tripcodes. But the ability for threads to exist where everyone is on an equal footing is valuable.

I’m thinking not so much in terms of discussion itself actually but in terms of creative potential. At their peak, chan style imageboards can be amazingly creative.

Imagine an imageboard with people from HN, where people were producing graphics and music like in the Demoscene, but together and for no purpose other than creativity itself. No names or anything. Just pure unfiltered creativity.

Corporations have multiple decision making nodes that each can have the intelligence level as a smart human, thus more smart human level decisions can be undertaken by a corporation than can be undertaken by a smart human. At the same time corporations can process much more data, store more data, and do more interesting things with data than the smartest human alone could do.
I think “shockingly bad” is a bit dramatic. OpenCL, Metal, and Grand Central Dispatch are all technologies Apple created to help developers take advantage of the hardware Apple ships.

I think a fair criticism would be the noise created by developers about the quantity and average age of bugs in their APIs.

In 2015, 10% of Intel’s engineers were software. I don’t know how that’s changed in recent years.
Additionally goodwill repairs can be used to cover up engineering defects that only manifest themselves in limited circumstances to avoid a full recall.

I've only ever seen sugar available in paper sacks, like flour. Except powdered (icing) and brown sugar, which so come in bags, probably because they're a lot more moisture sensitive.

I've always wondered why some products are only available in glass jars, like jam. While some things used to be only in glass jars, but is now commonly plastic bottles (apple sauce, tomato sauce).

Interestingly, in the past couple of years, plastic peanut butter jars seem to have switched to opaque brown plastic, when they used to be clear. Is that because it's difficult to make clear products from recycled plastic?

Hmm, I assumed the author implied literally short selling the underlying stock but I think that's a bad idea: potentially unlimited losses. The author may even be correct but the market can be particularly irrational around growth stocks...

Another method might be to sell calls or call spreads, date it out a few years and hope the underlying doesn't rise too much.

My main point was that there's been plenty of oppression in the US despite it being to some degree a democracy.

It doesn't sound like you're actually disputing my main point at all, but wanting to shift the discussion on to whether the American system of government needs to be replaced and why, which is really off-topic.

Still, in response to your tangential point, I want to make clear that I'm not advocating discarding the entire American system of government, and my dissatisfaction with parts of it as they stand now does not stem from who the founders were.

I do think the system has proven itself to fail at meeting the high ideals that some of the founders professed to have. The system has proven itself to be highly corruptable, the checks and balances built in to the system have failed, and much of the Constitution is widely ignored or reinterpreted to mean whatever the people in power want it to mean.

These failures are not due to the founders owning slaves, but due to them being unable to foresee or adequately prepare the nation for things such as mass media, the internet, modern advertising and propaganda, and a slew of consequences of modern warfare, mutually assured destruction, the military-industrial complex, corporate dominance of the economy, enormous amounts of money being thrown at elections, the shutting out of third party alternatives, the poor civic education, widespread apathy and easy manipulability of the electorate, and on and on.

Despite the founders' short-sightedness and all the fialures and weaknesses in the American system of government, I am not an advocate of eliminating it wholesale. I believe reform is possible, and that it could be made more democratic, more accountable, more fair and just, and we don't have to scrap it all to do it.

However, I very much doubt the political will or consensus is there to make significant positive changes. If anything, I expect it to get much worse before it gets better.. if it ever will.
Carmack is a far better programmer than I am.

I was originally a game programmer (Empire, Mattel Intellivision) but wrestling with the compiler convinced me I could write a better one, and so it went.
You seem to be trying really hard to steer the conversation away from China.

Yes, the US has done plenty of things that are wrong. We talk about them frequently, including here on HN. But this conversation is about China oppressing the people of Hong Kong. Do you mind letting us discuss that, without distracting us with "But the US!!!!!" all over the place?
I think what the OP means isn't that folks in the tech industry act like they truly invented anything. I think most folks with just a little experience understand that there is rarely a single inventor for anything.

But, it is true that it is a major tendency for folks in tech to act like our industry is the origin for a lot of things. When in reality, computers are still a very young industry, and many ideas we use all the time have been imported from elsewhere.
> If a corporation can't re-structure itself into being much smarter than the smartest human, its intelligence is fundamentally limited, and therefore so is the risk.

The assumption here is that risk correlates to intelligence. That doesn't seem to be borne out in history. Risk (the likelihood of bad outcomes) can be emergent, and arise from well-meaning, reasonably (not super) intelligent people operating within a simple framework.

In my opinion a site like this working perfectly on mobile is in the 'who cares' category. Almost nobody is going to haproxy.org on their smartphone with any intention of actually doing anything with the software. Almost nobody is installing or configuring haproxy from mobile.

It's information dense, which is much appreciated on desktop. The .com looks like every other generic 'look at our product!' site, and to actually do anything you have to sort through 5 different dropdowns and other UI items designed to grab your attention.

When I have to install or configure the software I want the .org, 100%.

Intel will never cave to ARM's technology being more efficient than theirs, it's a matter of pride and not being able to admit defeat . . .
(my ex worked as a manager at Intel 15 years in verification and recently bailed for Apple)
I once watched a livejournal group die in < 24 hours because the mod suddenly decided it was too dead and put in a rule saying anyone who didn't keep up a certain level of posting would be evicted. the thing is, it really didn't matter if no one posted much; posts were aggregated with all the other groups and journals people followed, so when someone did post something it was seen and the large lulls between posts didn't bother anyone. the minute the new rule was announced there was a general stampede for the door and the mod left there saying "but I was only trying to revive the group!"

my general takeaway from that was that people might get annoyed when you tell them what they are not allowed to do on your site, but most of them will roll their eyes and put up with it. if you tell them what they have to do they will simply drop the site and never look back.
I assume it’s the double justification for Apple’s marketing to have chosen the phrase “Apple silicon”. One of course is to steer the discussion away from the ARM architecture itself and any sense of commoditization. This was a problem with the intel transition, though they were in a tighter situation so simply didn’t message around it ... and that was fine.

The second justification though is that the CPU architecture is less significant on the system scale. The SOC really is a ”system” (we used to predict this in the 1990s but couldn’t get there then) with a lot of other some what specialized functional units designed to work together.

In that the A series are more reminiscent of the mainframes of old, where the CPU really was merely the central processing unit and a tremendous amount of processing went on in other processing units.
NHTSA data is a better indicator. Many owners are 100% satisfied with a dangerous or buggy car if A) it hasn't killed them yet, and/or B) the manufacturer makes it easy to replace the lemon.
But up until recently Intel have had a manufacturing process advantage that has made it difficult / impossible for the likes of Google to source competitive high performance cores. That advantage has slipped away.

EPYC is an innovative product and comparing it with Graviton clearly shows that AMD has done a great job and that Graviton is not quite fully competitive yet (but not to the extent that those benchmarks seem to indicate, as others have commented).

I think its possible to overstate the energy efficiency gains from using ARM but all the indications are that ARM cores with fully competitive performance will emerge and that they will have some efficiency advantage - after all why would AWS be investing in ARM if not?
That’s not true of Apple which means it’s not true of all SSO. Sometimes users are offered a choice of claims. It’s allowed, just rarely implemented.
$500k is the income. The entire point is that business and personal expenses overlap considerably for farmers so they have wide range for tax purposes.
