huge own-goal on Apple's part. It would be literally impossible for me to use this machine to do my job. I guess I'll have to wait until M2.

Edit: If it wasn't clear, this was not a joke. I develop a relatively heavyweight service on the JVM, and between my IDE, the code I run, and all the gradle build daemon stuff, I regularly use up more than 32GB. Often over 50GB. (Although some swap is tolerable, having the majority of my resident set being swapped at any given time means things get very slow.)

BlackBerry has always been untrustworthy when it comes to encryption:

> The defence in the case surmised that the RCMP must have used the "correct global encryption key," since any attempt to apply a key other than BlackBerry's own global encryption key would have resulted in a garbled mess. According to the judge, "all parties"—including the Crown—agree that "the RCMP would have had the correct global key when it decrypted messages during its investigation."

Qt 6 has no major API changes from Qt 5.
Yes, It's highly variable in the US. Most prisons are run by a US state, and conditions vary wildly even within the same state.
Rumors were it was just behind the initial rollout (though those rumors missed the new Mac mini, AFAIK).

Signs point to another event in January, I'd expect it there with a heftier SoC.
MacBook Pro 13-inch with M1
Apple M1
The onboard graphics performance seems to be impressive (1050Ti - 1060 range). I wonder if Valve and Epic will start compiling games for ARM. This MacBook could be my first gaming laptop, who would have thought
Oh I didn't connect the dots that this is the "job hopper twitter guy". As someone who's last 4 companies have been acquired - I found him to be extremely frustrating to follow.
Was that for just mb air or all of them? I missed that part.

That PC ending was cringe.

Silly Apple.
There's plenty (most, even?) of US prisons that don't allow any kind of tobacco. It's hard to make generalized statements as they are all different.
That really dumb because outside of VC companies with an obsession with spying on people and selling their data, no one wants the risk of uploading audio to the cloud.
Ask HN: Which AI/ML newsletters or other sources do you read to stay up to date
I'm trying to make a good list that isn't overwhelming. Also very happy to summarize for folks.

I already read The Gradient, Stefan Ruder's NLP emails, and Import AI but am sure I'm missing some good ones.
Hm? All titles on Steam when played with Proton are registered as being played on Linux, not just the ones available officially, and if you do this with something you just purchased it will show up in Steam's statistics as a Linux sale.

This lets the publishers and developers know that there's a market of Linux gamers because they can see that X thousand players play their game on Linux. So when they make their next game, hopefully they'll pick technologies that lets them release with proper Linux support and not "hope it runs under Proton"-support.
In London?
Yep. Like more USB ports....
How Jason Bourne Stores His Bitcoin in 2020
Apple’s first Arm-based 13-inch MacBook Pro is here with an M1 chip
The price difference is pretty tiny anyway. Fan means it can keep that performance up for more than a minute or two.
Wonder if they could pop one onto a PCIe card for exisiting Mac owners to a a copro for a VM.
13" Pro is also 16GB.
Did I understand correctly that MacBook Pro and Air will share the same M1 CPU?

Previous models had a massive delta in CPU performance based on using low power (Air, no fan) or medium power (Pro, with dual fans) Intel chips
There will be no future .NET framework versions so I believe he's correct. .NET 5 is a new version of .net core

The reddit mod said this, so yeah.
Another user described it:

> I could have understood your perspective on a lot of the earlier parts of your post, but then you ruined it with that evil statement at the end. We don't have to agree on the perspective but wishing harm or death to people and their families over it is just dark.

Which matches their current sentiment:

Accusing people not not reading the article is against the rules here.

Spirit, Frontier, American, United, Delta, JetBlue; i'm sure I'm forgetting a couple. The only airlines that are exclusively Boeing are Alaska Airlines and Southwest.
I'll bet you'll get what you're looking for in the 15"/16" Macbook Pros when they come along.
So... will Homebrew work on it?
I was thinking about building a new white box media server, but now I'm thinking I should get the mac mini instead.
Congratulations to the team but more than a year after the Surface Pro X shipped and there is still no way to build desktop applications for aarch64 using dotnet/vs2019 on the local machine. Windows on ARM has no native support for WPF, WinForms, or WinUI.

Visual Studio 2019 running as x86 32bits application can't see the local machine as a target for aarch64 applications. When I asked microsoft, the response was to use a x86-64 machine to develop on the same LAN as the aarch64 machine and use remote debugging. So you need two machines to ship a desktop application.

This is bad, and part of the reason there are so few app running natively on the Surface Pro X.
They had that in 2007. In 12 years this somehow became a selling point.
I was hoping for a re-introduction of the 12" Macbook, I guess we'll have to wait a little bit longer
Not only that - it took me 2 weeks to sell a fucking fone because of the walled garden they..... um.... harvest
They paid TSMC the most and bought up nearly all their capacity.
Exactly. Any kind of money is great for a side project. Startup implies putting food on the table.

Still the author is clearly not from a 1st world country. And at direct conversion rates anything first world is crazy money. Been there done that. My starting yearly salary was like 5k usd - that won’t get you far in most 1st world
We let voters use any machine they wanted, or the first one which became available, with no special preference.

But whatever, I don't write the laws. If it bugs you, you should reach out to the election board directly: 1-877-VOTESPA.
"and the touch bar" that is not exactly a selling point :)
Thank you!

Some things do apply. I am not an ML expert myself, but just today i helped during the initial requirements call for a ML opportunity.

Currently we have an offer for a ML PoC for a very cheap price. Do you do initial work completely free of charge?

You can set up channels in a ‘team’ and use those for breakouts.
But it can't sustain max performance. That is reserved for the MacBook Pro with a fan.
They're not an outlier - more than half of people worldwide live in areas where a fintech dev earns much less than $50k/year. Another commenter is complaining about continental Europe, but South America, Africa and much of Asia each have more developers and (on average) smaller salaries than Europe.
Large,delayed outbreaks of endemic diseases possible following Covid-19 controls
After a few minor crises this morning tut tutting myself for not shipping and selling more businesses or whatever, seeing someone express the same feelings that I have (even if I know there's loads of us 80%ers out there!) is very comforting, so thank you.
Super interesting how they kept the touchbar on the Macbook Pro keyboard but not on the Air. As a software developer, I'm going to be more likely to buy an Air just due to the keyboard.
32GB is an option on the pro
If you think about it, it has the biggest cooling surface in any notebook. It's the aluminium case.
Also, mb air has no touch bar, but includes fingerprint scanner. I’m sure a lot hackernews will be pleased with that, despite it not being in a machine with the pro moniker.
I agree he's morally reprehensible. I was just saying that similar people in Iraq (Iraqis who participated in the Iraqi govt while it committed war crimes) who defected were treated similarly.
My Macbook pro still does this. Granted, it's a little wonky. If you alter the window in any way while disconnected then it might not return to the original location. It also doesn't preserve any new desktop environments created on the external display.
> the writers are all generalists, covering every product from top to bottom. In practice, this means that engineers are asked to draft the bulk of documentation, and the writers scramble to at least copy-edit it.

This seems like an organizational/staffing mistake. In other engineering orgs you'd see these roles filled by applications engineers, who dogfood while evangelizing the product and writing its technical documentation. Ambiguity or questions are handled by conversations with the engineers that built it.
> although the ulitimate cause of the crash was a pilot making what amounts to a beginner mistake.

But it was only one of the pilots, the right-side pilot, who continued to hold the stick back and and retained command. The left-side pilot didn't realize that was occurring until it was too late.
Yes, I'm from Spain and here a senior dev gets paid around 50-60k. That would be the salary for a junior dev or even an intern in the US.
As I junior dev I get paid 26k and it is considered quite high.

- 5.x graphics performance.

- 10h more battery life.

- Thunderbolt/USB 4.

Available from today, starts shipping next week. Price starts at $1299, or $1199 for education.

Edit: 8GB RAM + 256GB SSD: $1299, 16GB RAM + 512GB SSD: 1499.
Indeed, I'm considering getting an air specifically because it doesn't have the touch bar.
As someone who never 'made it' and whose CV is a complete joke, feeling like I've contributed to the occasional discussion here has been good for my mental health, and moderation seems to be quite sufficient.

Apologies for the grandiosity, but the oft-denigrated "words on the internet" may be the most significant trace left of the existence of myself and many others long after everyone here is dead. If technology and civilization survive, future data anthropologists have their work cut out for them. The thought of historians combing through ancient threads and trying to piece together a narrative - only, maybe, for a moment perhaps with something I wrote - gives me a glimmer of warmth, like a fireplace on a cold day.
There is a line on “reading fine print of death benefits”. Kids get nothing if cause of death is suicide.
I've been using my Macbook Pro Retina ever since it was first released in 2012 and haven't been impressed enough to upgrade since then. It's on its last leg though and this upgrade looks exciting for a change. I hope they release the updated 16 inch soon. Not thrilled they insist on keeping the touch bar, but other than that this seems like they are headed in a good direction.
I missed something — will older apps still work or must all your apps be new versions, recompiled for M1?
Has anyone ever seen anyone use the Touch Bar? Like really use it?
...from the department of the bloody obvious.
I haven't dug deep into QML's keyboard focus stuff but it's been a breeze for developing my photo editing desktop app. It makes gui hacking so fun.

> DI is the removal of complication when it is done correctly.

Personally, I would rephrase that as, "DI is a pattern that is designed to mitigate certain kinds of complexity when done correctly."

That leaves room for two ways in which it can backfire. Doing it wrong, like you say, but also doing it in situations where you don't actually have one of the problems it's trying to solve. Cost/benefit ratios always get out of whack when there's no benefit to offset the cost.
This happened to me on Google Maps.

I hired packers and movers and once everything was done, they asked me to post a Google Maps & Yelp review to get $50 off.

Platform abuse is there everywhere, but do they go unnoticed is the question.
Very good question! It's been a combination of techniques, but no Docker. I started my initial verification over a SSH/VNC session (e.g. x11vnc) on KISS Linux, which is what i personally run. Lately, I have been hosting various virtual machines and testing on multiple distribution snapshots (i.e. Debian, Arch, etc.)

I switch my process frequently as I move around quite a bit, making development work fairly tedious. I am sure that there is a better way, but this is what I found works for me at the moment.
Then the real question is, why does GPT-3 think consciousness is mysterious?
I think there's still a no fan vs fan distinction so they'll still be able to run the Pro more powerful, but it looks like it. I half suspect the Air was the one they wanted to release and they just didn't want there to be no Pro faster than an Air in the lineup.
Looks interesting. There is a very similar package in Python called Rich[0] which has some more features like code syntax highlighting and markdown support. One of Spectre's examples[1] even copies one of the Rich examples[2] identically

EDIT: Oh I see they've linked Rich as a inspiration.

Older apps will run via Rosetta 2
The RAM is in the chip, so presumably they just want to iterate a bit first before just throwing RAM at it.
Me and other people who want to run windows VMs.
No mention of processor speeds, just like iOS devices. This is the new normal now for Macs.
Yeah. I guess it depends on how it gets installed, but there’s absolutely nothing preventing it from running side-by-side.

I’ve been hot-swapping 3.1 and 5.0-rc2 for projects, preparing for the final 5.0 release.
I wonder of they're going to try and pull the same 'no specs' thing that they do with the iPhone/iPad.

I think I want to know how much RAM is in my MacBook Pro where I don't really care how much is in my iPhone.

edit: Store is LIVE, and has lots of specs!
You know how the US forced all states to increase drinking age to 21? That's how Canada forced all provinces to adopt universal healthcare. Essentially, there is a minimum set of requirements the provincial healthcare plans must offer. They are free to not adhere to it, but then the amount of funds they get through Canada Health Transfer (money from the federal government given to provincial governments to spend on healthcare) will get reduced or completely removed. Canada Health Transfer accounts for approximately 10% of all provincial government revenues, at least in Alberta and Ontario that I checked. It's a serious bit of change and a strong incentive to follow federal guidelines.

As a side note, the fact that the federal government can use its spending powers to enforce policy that is not within its jurisdiction is very unpopular in Quebec and one of the changes Quebec wants made to the constitution.

Especially since the Intel-powered 13" MacBook Pro was configurable up to 32GB.
Rosetta 2 is the translation layer to keep older versions running on the new chip.
They mentioned Rosetta 2 - emulation layer for Intel-only apps.
They're also mostly from a very SV bubble point of view. A lot of posts point to the employees not getting very much from the sale. But there are lots of places in the world where employees of small businesses are not granted large equity stake, and work for a salary like most employees everywhere else. This is especially true for a steady profit driven company that's not aiming for hypergrowth (another very SV centric view of startups).

We don't know how much the employees are paid, for all we know they could be paid the prevailing wage for their location.
It's kind of sad that AMD spent years to get mediocre TensorFlow support and Apple walks in with this. It really shows how huge Apple is.
Older apps are _supposed to_ work as is (with Rosetta).
It's interesting that all the chips are branded as the M1 - I wonder if there are any clock, memory or cache differences between the devices?
Agreed about the Java ecosystem. Years ago I worked on a text indexing and searching application. All the interesting stuff was in Java and if you were lucky, there was some outdated and buggy .NET port. C# is a very good language but if I had to star5 sei thing from scratch i would probably choose the Java world just because of the availability of libraries.

.NET could get a huge boost if there was an ability to use Java libraries. There was KVM.NET but that looks pretty dead.
There may well be some niggles that affect a small number of people doing some niche things under specific circumstances, but I don't think that's enough to claims it's not cross-platform.

Since dotnet core became a thing, I've been building cross-platform apps with great success - mostly Windows and Linux, occasionally MacOS too, and mostly x64, but also ARM too.
They have Rosetta 2 (translates Intel apps to Arm) and said the integrated graphics are so much faster than Intel's you can expect faster performance in games than before.

I am quite skeptical of this but let's see.
"where they are willing to live" is key. 400-500k a year still isn't enough for me to want to raise a family in SF.
Blind self-selects for the worst of these attitudes (in addition to the general shittiness of almost any anonymous community). I would not take this as representative of SV. The private forum for my company is amazingly toxic.
>> If this doesn't answer your question, perhaps answer the opposite; how do you
know that it's wrong?

I know the literature. It's my job.

>> And it's not just my opinion; there's a reason AI conference attendance has
shot up a factor of 10 or so in the last few years, why NeurIPS is the leading
one (and even historically GOFAI conferences are majority NNs), why the big AI
labs with big AI cash are all doing NNs, and why all of a sudden AI is a
popular topic outside academia.

That's still an opinion- "it's not just my opinion, everyone says so". A.k.a.
"It is known", in Dothraki. And of course it is of no consequence who's
spending money on what and who's submitting papers where. The volume of
research was never a criterion for its quality. Heed thee well the legend of
our Lord Geoff Hinton's years in the academic wilderness and how he emerged
victorious with the laws of deep learning in his hands.

I think what you've said so far has convinced me you're expressing a personal
opinion that is strongly held without a good reason to do so. You make
sweeping statements with great certainty, but you don't really seem to know
how you know the things you know, so you end up "knowing" some things that you
don't really know. For instance, you claimed that "GOFAI" successes just
"aren't there" but I listed a few, like Deep Blue or MYCIN - and you didn't
seem to have heard of these before (I'm more surprised about not knowning of
Deep Blue than MYCIN).

You also claim that "these approaches are not AI". That's a "No True
Scottsman" right there. Except there really is no True Scottsman (i.e. "AI" in
the sense you use it)- ask Yoshua Bengio:

Bengio: In terms of how much progress we’ve made in this work over the last
two decades: I don’t think we’re anywhere close today to the level of
intelligence of a two-year-old child. But maybe we have algorithms that are
equivalent to lower animals, for perception. And we’re gradually climbing this
ladder in terms of tools that allow an entity to explore its environment.

Spectrum: Will any of these ideas be used in the real world anytime soon?

Bengio: No. This is all very basic research using toy problems. That’s fine,
that’s where we’re at. We can debug these ideas, move on to new hypotheses.
This is not ready for industry tomorrow morning.

https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/artificial-intelligence/...

Or, you know, ask any AI researcher :)

Edit: Which "GOFAI" conferences are majority NNs? What period are we talking about?
Only up to 16gb of memory on the M1 MacBook Pro?!?! The intel one is configurable to 32gb. Choosing between memory and CPU. So torn, so disappointed.

P.S. I’m a developer, like many here.

(Edit: specify the M1, not the existing Intel.)
Is this the first time they call their laptops "notebooks"?
If you didn't see the event, they've put the new chip into the new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini that will start shipping soon.
Isolation Using Java's ClassLoader
Up to 20 hours of battery life on the MacBook Pro. If anything, I believe the increased battery life will be what most people will notice.
I think v6 is simpler in practice, due to not needing NAT. If the first part of my post is difficult to understand then that serves as a good demonstration of how hard v4 is once address exhaustion and NAT enter the picture.
Will existing programs run on this?
Max 16GB of RAM on these new machines is really not that great to be honest. The mini supported up to 64GB before.
I (and my increasingly decrepit 2014 Macbook Pro) was hoping these would be compelling, and hoo boy, they are. First time in years I've actually wanted a new Macbook, as opposed to accepting what they have on offer.
How does your CU stack up against the current mobile banking landscape?
Because RNA is not a stable molecule. At lower temperatures, it's less likely for a given bond to reach the Gibbs free energy of activation, thus preventing degradation.

In a biological context, the vast majority of RNA use falls within the 'central dogma' of DNA -> RNA -> Protein. It is merely an intermediate, albeit one with important and complex regulatory processes.

In RNA viruses and other contexts where stability is required, the RNA is stabilized by its environment, namely by associating with special proteins.
I'd imagine thermal throttling will be responsible for actual performance differences across devices (but this is just a guess)
Microsoft and OpenAI partner in a bid to reshape U.S. export laws
Very interested to see some actual benchmarks...
This comment should be seen as unrelated to the Baremetrics case (because I don't know the employees' POV).

I think I understand your reasoning but I don't agree with it. It implies that workers don't already know they're in a much worse position compared to founders/business owners when it comes to acquisitions. Generally it suggests that workers "learn" through pain until they become founders. Which might apply to some people but certainly isn't the case for everyone, let alone a good reason to treat your workers badly. I much more agree with the sibling comment by Jochim.
This appears to replace the low end MacBook Pro with the higher end Intel models still available.
So, all of these new Macs have the same SOC across the board? Or will there be slight differences like the Macbook pro will have a higher-binned soc or maybe the Mac mini and Macbook air will have fewer graphics core?
