The “gods” of Y Combinator are developers working for well established companies?

And these are people looking down upon someone turning an idea into recurring revenue on their own accord?

So much for the hacker and start up culture there fellas.

These are the comments that should be downvoted for being obnoxiously unhelpful, but they’re propped up as “God”-like.

I guess this is why a lot of quality old timers left HN.
I see no reason why it shouldn't. Most of homebrew is ruby script (that is architecture-agnostic), most of software installed through homebrew can be recompiled.
Yes, they have an Intel emulator (Rosetta I think they called it) and are pushing developers to produce "universal apps".
Next week, to be exact.
Yes I'm waiting for the shop to open to find out if they can be configured - I bet not.

EDIT: the store does not let you configure anything but the RAM which is absurdly expensive.
I'm pretty sure they're all identical chips. No doubt there are clocking differences. But that may be automatic based on thermals and not actually represent a difference in the actual chip.
> Why would we want that to be synchronous?

Authentication is blocked by accessing storage. You cannot proceed until the storage read operation is completed. There is no parallel work to be accomplished here. This isn't UI code. There's no event loop. Why would you want this to be asynchronous? This seems like async as a dogma, rather than as a tool to accomplish something specific.
I'm interested to see the benchmarks vs. comparable AMD systems. Some of the claims, like 2x performance increase on the MBP are impressive, but intel laptops have been absolutely trounced by AMD 4000-series laptops of late.

Also will be interested to see the benchmarks of the integrated GPU vs. discreet GPU performance.
For the Apple TV, they can overclock since it’s plugged into the wall. They may do something similar here.
Then prove it.
This M1 chip is really interesting, but they seem to be hard limited in RAM to 16GB. That will surely limit the interest there is in the initial batch amongst the HN crowd. It makes sense maybe for the MacBook Air, but not that much for the Mac Mini or MacBook Pro 13".
My experience in Maryland and the District of Columbia, going back almost thirty years, is that there it is difficult to impossible for a poll worker to know how you voted.
It's wild to me. I still love my 1st gen MBP Retina and it has 16GB memory.
Any ideas how virtualization works?

Can I run Windows VM?
I suspect OP meant `PS1='\u@\h:\w\$(brname)\$ '` rather than `PS1="\u@\h:\w\$(brname)$ "`:

- double quoting the command expansion would lead to `brname` being executed once at shell startup (unless this assignment is happening in a `PROMPT_COMMAND` function or something[1]).

- A literal backslash before the dollar sign gives a "#" at the end of the prompt for root.

This is the result of a decade of intense research and economies of scale with their A* architecture in iPhones and iPads. People liked to criticize Apple for putting overpowered processors in their devices and not having the software to leverage them. The day is finally here!
Very true. I don’t trust anything new MS is putting out. The risk of being abandoned soon is just too high.
What I can't find is how many external monitors can be supported on the M1 chip? I don't see any detailed specs. Al they say about the M1 specs are:

"The Apple M1 chip is the first system on a chip (SoC) for Mac. Packed with an astonishing 16 billion transistors, it integrates the CPU, GPU, I/O, and every other significant component and controller onto a single tiny chip. Designed by Apple, M1 brings incredible performance, custom technologies, and unparalleled power efficiency to the Mac.

With an 8‑core CPU and 8‑core GPU, M1 on MacBook Pro delivers up to 2.8x faster CPU performance¹ and up to 5x faster graphics² than the previous generation."
Yeah, the comment he's criticising explicitly says $1k mrr for a side project is impressive
I can't see how something that tiny can compete in any meaningful way with a giant nVidia type card for training. I'd imagine it's more for running models that have been trained already, like all the stuff they mentioned with Final Cut.
Former crypto PhD student here. Here's the formal definition. FHE means that, given an encryption Enc(x) of plaintext x, you can compute Enc(f(x)). Note that without the decryption key, Enc(f(x)) is just as "useless" as Enc(x) (i.e., it looks totally random). FHE would be useful if you wanted Google to filter all of your emails for spam, but didn't want them reading your emails. Google would receive Enc(email) and compute Enc(isSpam(email)) and then forward Enc(email) and Enc(isSpam(email)) to your email client, which would then decrypt both and either send `email` to spam or not. Note that in this scenario, Google learns nothing about `email`, not even if it is spam or not.

Here's what iO means: given two different circuits C_0 and C_1 that both compute a function f, the obfuscations iO(C_0) and iO(C_1) are indistinguishable (to a polytime adversary). In the email example, you could have a circuit C that computes isSpam over encrypted emails, but with a decrypted result. That is, C(Enc(email)) = isSpam(email). But note that this leaks information to Google, and the security definition of iO does NOT guarantee that Google does not learn anything about your secret key (the obfuscation might not hide the secret key at all).

Definitionally, they're very, very different things and have very different security guarantees. The weird thing about iO is that the security definition doesn't immediately appear to actually secure much, so it doesn't seem very useful. However, it turns out that iO is an incredibly powerful primitive because it can be combined with other things like pseudorandom generators to build up a lot of other primitives. For example, you can combine secret-key encryption and iO to get public-key encryption in a very elegant way.
Yes, its's backwards compatible, but older programs will not take advantages of the chip in larger ways yet.
The basic configuration still ships with 8GB of RAM. 16GB is $200 extra. I had an 8GB MacBook Pro in 2013. It wasn't enough then, it's absolutely inadequate now.
I think that the Photoshop crowd likes it.
It's so weird that the cheaper Air is down a single GPU core - 7 instead of 8
The Intel one takes up to 64 GB – at least that's how much mine has.
With 8GB and 16GB options available.
With a few hiccups, but it's coming along nicely.
The mini... such a great surprise and so welcome. It doesn't have internal expandability, but otherwise, it looks like a fantastic affordable desktop option.
Epic precisely might not.
The main window is also very laggy and unresponsive.

One day, I found myself on Windows again and opened Steam there, and I was surprised and a little delighted that Steam was just as laggy and unresponsive there too. c:
Funnily enough, in the Macbook Pro section of the presentation:

"Developers can compile up to 4x code"
For a dank [religion] perspective.

This life is a test for what comes next.

How will you be graded?

Pretty sure a pile of gold doesn’t win points.
So even with health insurance deducted, that still works out, with current exchange rates, at £63k, which is quite a high income - 95th percentile in the UK income distribution after tax.
These macs will increase apples desktop/laptop userbase by a huge margin. I expect a lot over converts within 2 years.
Here’s more details on Rosetta: https://www.theverge.com/21304182/apple-arm-mac-rosetta-2-em...

It actually depends on the app and what it’s doing. For example they said photoshop wouldn’t be available on it until early 2021.
I agree, i was going to order one but 16GB is not enough for me. I guess i'll wait until 32 is available.
They media makes election calls in Europe too. If you don't understand how election reporting works in either Europe or America maybe you shouldn't be trying to smugly lecture other people.

In case you don't believe me here is the BBC calling the general election for Boris before the votes were done counting:

"Universal apps" that only run on OSX and Apple's mobile OS I presume?
Unlikely, or very slowly, because Windows x86 would need CPU emulation.
Why are they limited to 16gb? Is this related to the arm chip design?
FWIW, if you scroll down you'll see the median price in that neighborhood is $1.5MM, which'll bring it down to about a $6K house payment. Easily doable at your salary estimates unless the buyer has a crippling candle addiction, and there's lots of wiggle room for location between $1.5-2MM if the buyer wants schools or anything more than proximity to work.
Surprised that they didn’t take the opportunity to update the industrial design, especially of the MacBook Air which retains its wedge-shaped heft.
If you look on the order page they're all described the same but the Air has different option on the GPU side of the chip, 7 vs 8 cores.

It sounds like that is possibly the only binning they did, where one GPU core is disabled? Perhaps the 13" ones can run faster & more efficiently or something but they're not saying that.
If you use it, and it is faster, do you care what the numbers are?
My fondest wish is a high-end MBP 16" with no touch bar. The touch bar's sole role is to generate errors and missteps resulting from merely grazing over it.

Even setting the touch bar to vanilla F-keys, grazing triggers F-key actions which is so frustrating.
Rusoto for AWS is unofficial but excellent (and auto-generated off of the official botocore API definitions).
There's been a few zero day client remote code execution vulnerabilities, along with some problems withe installer AFAIK.
The cheaper MacBook Air has a 7-core GPU instead of an 8-core one.
Are there any independent performance comparisons for x86 apps ?

(I guess not yet, but still worth to ask here)
Pro has fans unlike air, so it’ll probably run faster
Rosetta 2 is the newest version. The universal apps are just an export in XCode from what the presentation made it seem like. Developers exclaiming it took 10 minutes to do the universal app build.
Netflix Scales Its API with GraphQL
The term was used frequently in the Jobs keynotes.
iO doesn't guarantee that the adversary can't figure out what "key" is. It turns out that this is possible, but it requires some very careful applications of a special kind of pseudorandom generator.
Apple MacBook Air with M1
SSD performance with their integrated IO controller might close the gap here, the same way that pretty fast storage on their iPhones makes the lack of RAM there not so debilitating.

But yeah, agreed that not having a 32GB option is somewhat disappointing.

(sent from my MacBook Pro with 32GB of RAM)
The Mac Mini and MacBook Pro have fans where the MacBook Air is fanless, so I assume there are some differences in at least boost clock and probably core clock too. I wouldn't be surprised if we see higher core count M1X chips next for the larger MacBook Pros and iMacs, and maybe even the Mac Pro.
We did the migration off ASP.NET a couple years ago. Our site wasnt that big, but we had some major anti-patterns that we decided to address during the migration. (we had multiple CSPROJs for "Businsess Logic" and "Data Access Layer" that didnt do anything of value, end effect was simpler code an ~70% less LOC)

There were a few major design changes that we had to embrace in the migration, mainly the middleware and DI. But we still managed to greatly increase performance, reduce our code footprint and get inline with the future Microsoft's vision for a C# webserver. All in it probably took 2 out of the 10 devs a month to complete the migration, while also addressing critical bugs.
And it costs an extra €224 to go from 8 to 16gb. This is ridiculously expensive.
I interviewed for Baremetrics a while ago and a major reason for this was because I am a fan of Josh and its openness culture. Ended up not following through the process as I got a job offer in the mean time.

I enjoyed even my first impressions at the interview process and I'm happy Josh got a nice payout, congrats!

I do hope Baremetrics transparency continues in some fomr as its a big inspiration.
Same, the only issue with the current air for me is that the graphics struggle a bit when driving a large 4K monitor.

If the new graphics capabilities are that much better I would be very tempted to upgrade
Holy cow, that's true. New 2020 Mini with a 16GB RAM, seriously?
It's a translation, to be precise, not emulation.
They didn't; the pricing page shows exactly how much RAM you're paying for.
It's really none of our business.
One pollster’s explanation for why the polls got it wrong
The 16GB RAM limit is unfortunate.

Five years later and I still can't buy a new 13" laptop from Apple with more RAM than my 2015 MBP.

Edit: Apparently you can configure a (Early 2020) Intel-based 13" MBP with 32GB of RAM - I was not aware of that. Hope they bring that option to the ARM versions ASAP, especially if the performance gains are as good as Apple claims.
>"Anxiety, depression and insomnia" all the hallmarks of the beginning of ME/CFS or PVS or whatever you want to call this horrific condition.

It's also the hallmark of lockdowns since March, political uncertainty and hostility with peers, economic uncertainty, and pandemic threats and uncertainty. All with a hysterical media, an all-or-nothing us-and-them type of conversation on just about any topic, and continual uncertainties.

The viral threat is real, but so are mental health considerations that seem to be completely overlooked by popular discourse.
I know. But there are worse alternatives.
Wow, that's actually a pretty big limitation. I guess it's tough to do 64 GB with their on-package unified memory.

I wonder if they're working on a version with discrete memory and GPU for the high end? They'll need it if they ever want to get Intel out of the Mac Pro.
It's not quite as simple as that. He appears to be serving his third sentence. I went looking for more of his writing and found this: https://www.publicpolicerecord.com/florida/doc-prisoner/MOSE...

It looks like he's on his third go-around, and was probably jailed immediately on a parole or probation violation on his third offense (which explains how he's been away for 6 years despite his current sentence being 5 years). I don't know if he's also going to have to serve more time due to probably having violated his parole for earlier offences.

I hope he gets his life together, for his sake and the sake of his family. It's a shame that he couldn't have been diverted into a first-offender program and rehab many years ago back at his first offense, rather than doing what looks like a 'revolving door' run through prisons.
From MacBook Pro tech specs:

Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display at millions of colors and:

One external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz
Thunderbolt 3 digital video output

Native DisplayPort output over USB-C
VGA, HDMI, DVI, and Thunderbolt 2 output supported using adapters (sold separately)
I would guess that neither Valve or Epic will do that, it is up to game devs to do that. Mac is bad gaming platform, and dropping 32 bit x86 support from Mac OS didn't help
https://www.macgamerhq.com/opinion/32-bit-mac-games/
Lets call it a "differentiation point" :)
Seems that you’ll also need the Pro to get 16Gb of RAM or 1~2To SSD
Yeah, strangely no-one predicted the mini, despite them already making a tonne of them for developers. Bit of a no brainer really.
The 13" MacBook Pro has an option to upgrade to 32.
16GB hasn't been enough for bigger development stacks for a while.
Apple has been getting trashed lately by developers for how hot and loud their macbooks get. You can tell how much focus they put on cooling in this presentation. The macbook air literally doesn't even have a fan!
I'm totally underwhelmed but maybe if they really are extremely fast I'd consider one. I guess we'll have to wait for the pro machines next year.
That's wise and long flight really pushes the limits of acceptability. You shouldn't trust the airlines or other people, or the distancing / testing measures they employ before being there.

I personally think about the viral load, which I think isn't well researched.

My intuition is that the measures currently in play help reduce the viral load well enough. Flight attendants are decently vigilant about enforcing mask wearing or have been enough so that the threat of them enforcing it is real enough, even with the glaring exceptions for food service.

So that means exposure is likely, but too much exposure is mitigated in a variety of ways. If you want to totally avoid exposure at all, you should not fly, just as it has been.

If you want to take your chance, and focus more so on not spreading it further, trying to help keep your local R0 below 1, then I think it this is very practical.

Will the MBA have a different "M1" chip than the MBP? And the Mac Mini? Seems like they're all using the same processor.

People who are regularly in great pain would read this comment as saying "you are being mauled by a bear, but if you have ripped your own vocal cords out so that you're not constantly screaming, we judge that preventing the bear from mauling you won't affect the environment much (since the screaming level will not change), so we will not prevent the bear from mauling you".
I've been using GitLab for a while now.

GitHub did many, many decisions that I found sketchy.
They have pretty decent specs in the store, although there's nothing about clock frequency or TDP to explain the performance difference between the Air and Pro.
This is a common, lazy argument. Apple's bundled apps are typically MVPs rather than best of breed. For me an MVP is perfectly fine for my photos and video editing while, say, for calendar and address book I use third party apps.

I doubt anyone would claim that Pages or Numbers are any sort of competition for flagship apps like Word or Excel, while at the same time they don't even break new ground like google docs did (yes, I know it wasn't the first either).

And perhaps Apple will get its act together on its subscription services but so far they aren't world beaters either, and never have been (going back at least as far as eWorld in the 1990s).
Not complaining. Those are exactly my thoughts too.
Would be interesting to see single-threaded performance (/processor speed), I assume this falls way short of the advertised "3x faster" number.

Also, only two Thunderbolt ports down from four!
I guess you'll get a good deal now at least.
You are wrong. But its not the business that you don't understand, its people.

The age-old adage, "There's two kinds of people in the world..." applies to an enormous amount of traits, but here's one where its exceptionally true:

The kind of people who become VCs and have billions of dollars of AUM (assets under management) understand time-value of money calculations, and they understand them almost intuitively. $800,000 sounds like an enormous sum for most people, because for 99% of Americans, $800,000 is life-changing money. It pays off your entire mortgage, or most of it. It sends all your kids to college. It pays for their private schooling.

For the venture capital firm, $800,000 represents a minor clerical error.

Even discounting the goodwill that this displays, engaging the machinery to recoup this $800,000 investment will incur significant financial costs, but more importantly, it incurs opportunity costs. Sometimes its better to just flush the money down the toilet and move on.
> My main issue with all these platforms supposedly being born to defend "free speech" is that they're a reactionist measure from certain ideas being deemed inappropriate by the common populace, so it's less about all kinds of free speech and more about protecting their speech.

Protecting your free speech also protects everyone elses. Typically you can post whatever you like on these plaforms. 4chan is always derided because of the infamous /pol (which tbh is mostly people just trolling) but they never talk about the LGBT channels.

The issue with the large platforms is that they are interfering with people discussions based on what they think is best and they frequently get it wrong. This can be not understanding the irony or not understanding a "shitpost" or they don't understand regional customs. Recently a diner was censored for using the word "faggots". Faggots are a dish in the UK.

https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/black-country/woman-adverti...

Also I don't consider parler to be free speech platform. They have removed people for certain posts normally anime breats and other forms of shitposting. Nonetheless it isn't a free speech platform.
there's arm64 builds for windows.
Like investing in companies, its not a list of hard and fast criteria. You have to ask yourself if you could reasonably see this company being huge ($10B+) - do they have a great product? Does this have an aha! feel like Stripe and Dropbox did at their public launches? Do the founders really understand their market well? What are the risks - is this a hardware startup in a totally new market? Is the market saturated? How do people feel about the existing products? And do the founders respect you enough to share cap table/preference overhang, the percentage your equity stake represents, and growth metrics? Also, value your equity stake at the current valuation, not a future one - the current valuation already has the expected future growth priced in. What is that equity grant worth per year that it vests? Do you need a larger grant to make it worth the salary disparity vs your other offers?

But basically, you really need to do your homework and treat it like you’re making an investment.
No? It’s not x86. Compatibility is emulated.
I want to clarify that I don’t think drew is being dishonest here. I’ve never heard this requirement nor been asked my party affiliation in a general election. Primaries - yes.
There's some binning happening as the Macbook Air has a 7 core GPU instead of an 8 core one, but that's the only difference it looks like. Which would explain why Air has no fans but the MBP and Mini have fans.
Yeah, rosetta will support x86 emulation. Might be slow though.
I don't know if this will be a big success, but if it is, I think ARM will take over a large amount of server/cloud market.
I'm not sure I like this. In practice it means people who don't know what they're talking about (but can bullshit) get promoted more than people who earn $500k/year understanding the subject, who can't be bothered to dress their point up or engage in arguments because their time is valuable.

Case in point: I'll give you good odds the person saying $3.7 million "isn't a lot" is not on the ludicrous salary they're citing. It's a dumb sentiment.

More broadly when someone earning half a million says you're wrong about their area of expertise, you should probably just listen. Deep understanding isn't easy to explain, and most people with deep understanding won't explain things laboriously.
Anyone know how you interact with these cores as a developer/user? Say if I'm running some C code with OpenMP parallelism, can I bind it to three of the fast cores?
as a software dev who went for air before the current gen of pro macbooks with hardware esc, dont do it

the air is really sluggish for anything but the lightest of tasks. there was even extremely noticeable latency using gmail.com
For the Mac mini: "Connect one external display up to 6K and a second with HDMI 2.0 up to 4K."

https://www.apple.com/mac-mini/
The second sentence on the page you linked literally says

"It has been heavily inspired by the excellent Rich library for Python written by Will McGugan."

:)
ARM chip design is likely the reason, because I only see 16GB max to configure even in Mac mini.
