> Eigen is a super complicated, template-heavy library

I agree, but that feature allows to apply optimizations by specializing these templates.

Works for both micro-optimizations (in their pbroadcast4<__m256d> they do 4 loads, on many CPUs AVX2 can do better with a single load + shuffles) and replacing large parts of Eigen (I was able to improve performance of conjugate gradient solver by moving the sparse matrix into a SIMD-optimized structure).

These drives are so tiny now they could easy offer an expansion slot which is accessible to the user, like the PS5 will. I miss the early-2000s era Apple who would actually do something like that.
High-quality PDF generation with HTML and CSS using PrintCSS
#PrintCSS is a modern way to generated high-quality PDF or paginated content from XML or HTML with the help of CSS. #PrintCSS is not the traditional print.css stylessheet for @media print. #PrintCSS is based on the W3C Paged Media standard and introduces CSS functionality that is specific to paginated content like footnotes, page counters, running headers, left/right pages, orphans and windows and many more...

There are various tools available - free and commercial tools - that implemented the "Paged Media" standard with different levels of compliance and other options and higher-level functionalities.

The portal print-css.rocks gives you a good introduction to #PrintCSS and CSS Paged Media with an overview of tools and a bunch of lessons and mini tutorials.
Also the online setup may be confusing to the parents, depending on their experience level. And something may break in the online setup, some update becomes necessary, some library breaks, the server is down etc. etc. Too many things can go wrong. That's fine for a low stakes hobby thing, but not really for the "I became incapacitated" alert system. Having friends check up on you, giving copies of apartment keys to trusted friends and parents, providing some form of access to your bank account to your parents if you trust them, keeping an up to date physical list of banks and other places where you store money and so on is more important.

It's already difficult to keep all this info up to date. Keeping a technical solution maintained is just extra distraction from the main points. The key difficulty is anticipating all the issues that will pop up when you actually die, practical stuff like interactions with banks etc. What will your parents need to know? What untied loose ends do you leave behind? It's uncomfortable to think about these things so most people put it off.

You're trying to reduce abstraction to statistical pattern classification, but that doesn't work because statistical measures are inherently bounded in generality, indeterminate and ambiguous while my concept of, say, triangularity is universal, determinate and exact.

Say I give you an image of a black isosceles triangle. Nothing in that image will tell you how to group those features. There is no single interpretation, so single way to classify the image. You might design your algorithm to prefer certain ways of grouping them, but that follows from the designer's prior understanding of what he's looking at and how he wants his algorithm to classify things. If your model has been trained using only black isosceles triangles and red rhombuses, it is possible that it would classify a red right triangle as rhombus or an entirely different thing and there would be no reason in principle to say that the classification was objectively wrong apart from the objective measure of triangularity itself. But that's precisely what the algorithm/model lack in the first place and cannot attain in the second.

Furthermore, just because your ML algorithm has grouped something successfully by your measure of correctness doesn't mean it's grasped essentially what it means to be a member of that class. The grouping is always incidental no matter how much refinement goes into it.

Now, you might be tempted to say that human brains and minds are no different because evolution has done to human brains what human brains do to computer algorithms and models. But that is tantamount not only to denying the existence of abstract concepts in computers, but also their existence in human minds. You've effectively banished abstracta from existence which is exactly what materialism is forced to do.

(With physical computers, things actually get worse because computers aren't objectively computing anything. There is no fact of the matter beyond the physical processes that go on in a particular computer. Computation in physical artifacts is observer relative. I can choose to interpret what a physical computer does through the lens of computation, but there is nothing in the computer itself that is objectively computation. Kripke's plus/quus paradox demonstrates this nicely.)

P.S. An article you might find interesting in this vein, also from Feser: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4SjM0oabZazckZnWlE1Q3FtdGs...
With the Intel release they also released two devices at the same time (MBP and iMac, and other models quickly followed).

I’d assume them to do the same: a high end (MBP?) and low end device (MB? MBA?); that’s where ARM will shine first (mobile: battery life; maybe even integrating a modem with esims).

Desktops will follow later.
I think part of this is driven by the fact the Intel chip generations are a bit of a mess at the moment. It's takes them over year at this point to release a full line of new generation chips, and even within that generation you get a mix of tech thanks to Intel's fabrication struggles.

Obfuscating the chip generation is almost a necessity at this point because the variations within and between generations is too complicated to keep track off.
And that's even more absurd

This essentially confirms Apple's strategy to just refresh existing models/chassis without redesigns going forward; the new Apple chips will be used exclusively for redesigned/relaunches like the Macbook.

Smart move since it increases the appeal of the Apple-powered Mac devices. The pricing difference will also help, as based on the expensive base configurations (RAM, SSD as others have pointed out here), it will make the new devices look that much more attractive.
Something that shouldn’t have happened here IMO.
Bill Clinton isn’t president.
80 h/week at 1.5x overtime for 40 hours = 100h/week * 50 weeks (less holidays) = 5000 hours a year. At $6/h it makes 30K/y. This looks very low for the US tbqh, even for a non-programmer. When I started at my first job in the US game industry in the late 90s I've made 75K in a small independent studio. I had probably 3 years of experience at that time but no shipped games, I also was a foreigner on a temp visa so I don't think I had significantly more than a fresh grad would have got at the same position.

I've got 14 years of dev experience, 5 remote. I've done full-stack, backend, frontend, and native mobile. Preference for backend or full-stack leaning toward backend. I’d much rather be building APIs and tweaking SQL than building UIs and tweaking CSS, but have done plenty of both.

Hi there! It looks like you've been shadowbanned, I vouched a few of your comments because they didn't seem terrible, but I didn't scroll very far. It might be worth sending a mail to dang to ask him to take a look at your account or something!
A friend of mine worked in EOD (explosive ordinance disposal) and related fields. I got to talk with him once about all this. One of the primary thing that reduces the rate of accidents is people following the rules. Basically, there are rules that say, based on mass, how far apart different things need to be from each other. It also varies by the kind of explosive (as different explosives have different triggers like heat or concussion). [0] is like the tables he showed me (his were more complex and dealt with specifically named explosives, not the broader categories this one describes).

I understand what a dupe is. What I don't understand is how my link, which was posted several hours before the other one, was considered a dupe.

You say both tell the same story. Then, in that case, the other link should be the dupe.

Hey @varbhat, I think perhaps the downvotes are due to some AFAIK incorrect assertions in your comment.

Rust allocations are I believe closer to C then C++ and Linus has already supported Rust: https://www.theregister.com/2020/07/13/rust_code_in_linux_ke...

So basically the question as it's asked doesn't make sense as I understand Rust and if someone took that to be intentional could be interpreted as language FUD (which could then deserve a down vote). An update to prevent the spread of misinformation about the language would be cool.

PS. I've only been using Rust on the daily for the last 8 months so I am by no means an expert. If there is a reason for your assertions that I'm missing I'd like to know. Thnx!
How can Apple say their new CPUs are the best/ fastest... but aren't good enough to ship in their flagship laptop?

This first launch is going to be the most scrutinized & criticized Mac Apple has launched in years. Apple knows this and they are going to put a beefy CPU in their new machine to silence the critics. If they can't beat Intel performance at launch, what are the chances they are going to be able to beat them a year down the line?

And since it would be quite weird to have the smaller MacBook be the better/ faster iOS development machine, it seems like the 16" is pretty likely. Maybe not launch day, but within the first few months at the latest.

They might keep the Intel based MacBook around and sell them at the same time, but I doubt it will be the only 16" MacBook they sell for long. It just doesn't make any sense.
Optics dictate that Apple show the superiority of the new silicon, and it wouldn't want it immediately pigeonholed as something like Surface X, a compromised curiosity.

Apple's been consistent about ~10 hours of battery life for a while. They've hit their spec and think that most people don't need more in typical usage. So they'll be able to shave battery volume down to continue their trend of thinner without sacrificing other specs.

The recently discontinued MacBook was a vision statement that the hardware could not quite reach, much like the first MacBook Air. Here, I think that statement realized would be a MacBook Pro that is as thin as that MacBook, and is still notably faster than the current MacBook Pro.
Maybe a bloom filter would help if we could get a dump of the urls from HN?
> I think it might just be the nature of progress, but I hate it.

I suspect that the root cause is that nobody understands what's going on from the UI down to the hardware, and nobody is incentivized (or even allowed) to spend the time it would take to actually do so.

For all of the handwringing over SSD endurance figures over the years, the fact of the matter is that normal use won't ever get close to using it up. The only people who ever really needed to worry about those figures were doing heavy data processing every day.

> Whenever a matrix's determinant is zero, it means that you squashed some dimensions. As you can imagine, when m is not equal to n, there will always be dimension squashing.

Although these two sentences are correct individually, it may be worth it to emphasise that they should not be read together: the determinant is defined only for square matrices. (One can do something like computing the determinant of det(A^{adjoint}A) if you want a general numerical invariant that behaves as you like—and then we're getting in the neighbourhood of the SVD).

> If you take a 3 x 3 matrix and it transforms all the 3-D vectors into only planes (which are 2-D objects), the determinant will be zero.

Although your meaning seems clear, I think you may have misspoken slightly. Of course 3D vectors are transformed by a 3 x 3 matrix into vectors, not planes. To me, what I think you mean would read better as "If you take a 3 x 3 matrix and there is a plane such that all 3D vectors are transformed into that plane, then …", or, perhaps even better, "… such that the transforms of all 3D vectors lie in that plane …".
That's a really cool idea! I added it. I am mostly curious to learn more about sites using HN as a way to market their products or to know more about the context in which a product is discussed.
This will make life simpler ... buying a motherboard with knowing exactly which chips come with the board (like Ethernet) is usually digging through bunch of online documents or reviews.

Of course. So is having to wear a mask.

There's another (slightly kinder) version of this:

When people go to grad school, then during their studentship get married and have a kid -- suddenly their productivity goes up dramatically and output per time increases by many factors. What happened?

It turns out when you have self-motivating reasons to get out (and a target on your head from your spouse to earn some money for godssake), you find ways to focus on what's important and drop the rest.

No more idling away for hours on silly ideas that don't get you closer to handing in your thesis. No more trying random libraries that get your code to run 2% faster. No more goofing around after 6pm with other students just because you have the time -- you have to get home and be a breadwinner for your family. You have to get shit done.

You start to ask, "even if I don't know exactly what the thesis will say, how should it be organized and what kinds of conclusions will make up the writing? And what experiments do I need to fill in those charts/paragraphs, and no more?" What's the minimum I need to do to get out of here? Not, "What amazing interesting thing could I explore?"

Limits and constraints sometimes free the mind dramatically. The side effect is maybe you don't get to explore ideas that go nowhere, but that's a discussion about the purpose of the PhD and for another topic I guess.

(And sometimes, if you think, well I don't have a kid, so what's the rush? Well, someday you might have a spouse, a kid, and every day of time you left in grad school is a day for your future self -- and family -- and $$ -- left behind in time. Work to free your future self... now, while you have the time.)
I think I'm like your co-workers, I'm really interested in Clojure, but admittably have that (probably unreasonable) JVM aversion. Do you mind sharing why I shouldn't?

You can start a rule-breaking startup today in whatever stringently-regulated regime and worry about fines later when you hit it big (and the fines are often peanuts if you hit it big, imagine any late stage VC-backed company being slapped with a record $5.7m fine). Also, the age verification honor system is really pretty much a joke, it adds a little bit of annoyance and pretty much zero deterrence. Basically it’s about knowing to put up that page in the sign-up flow. So this “advantage” you’re talking about is fairly weak.
> Wikipedia is a great reference when you know the subject well enough.

Some math pages on Wikipedia are great. Some are... horrid. A while back (2017?) I couldn't remember the terms in the Taylor expansion of sqrt(x), so I went to Wikipedia. The article was one of the most jumbled mishmashes I'd ever tried to read. But, even though I'm qualified to fix it, I didn't dare wade into Wikipedia politics. The rewrite would have taken a while (it's a long article), but I can't even imagine how long shoving it through would have taken!
I had that camera. It was better than its contemporaries, but definitely not as good as even the mediocre built-in cameras today.

I think so, the only time Apple seems to have highlighted the use of Intel chips was during the transition from PowerPC architecture. They focus on the value of the computer as the entire package.

Interesting deviation is how they've been highlighting the performance of the A-series chips since the A7.
