And what would you think of Hizbollah treating the telecom as its own slush fund to finance military operations?

Or monitoring the transmissions of its factional enemies?

You don't seem to understand the true extent of what corruption can mean.
Do you have a source for this? I don't doubt that's how it works but it doesn't sound likely.
Not a mac user, but at WWDC they showed you could check in your task manager / process viewer.
That's funny, because I'd just-as-soon historians never spent so much as a CPU cycle analyzing my posts. I've said some intelligent things, some popular things, some uncomfortable-but-I-suspect-true things, some well-reasoned things, etc.. I've certainly had an impact on the people in my real-life sphere and maybe something I've said online has helped a stranger, too. (Comments here on HN have certainly helped me.) But by-and-large, past-me is an idiot and I have no reason to believe future-me won't feel that way about me, too.

Edit: Clarity.
They also say "compiles 4x code" on the video.
I belive it uses guid (or a string that stores guid :-/) but it's fairly easy to change it to int. That's what I have in my boilerplate-kickstart template, anyway.
Still I remember I was "surprised" too.
AFAIK, virtualization will work, but dual booting will not work.
The 2.8x faster CPU claim is based on the following fine print:

> Testing conducted by Apple in October 2020 using preproduction 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M1 chip, as well as production 1.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-based 13-inch MacBook Pro systems, all configured with 16GB RAM and 2TB SSD. Open source project built with prerelease Xcode 12.2 with Apple Clang 12.0.0, Ninja 1.10.0.git, and CMake 3.16.5. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of MacBook Pro.

I can't find any 2020 model of the Macbook Pro with a 1.7Ghz i7 chip so I'm wondering if they are comparing it with an even older model. Would definitely wait for these to get in the hands of viewers before taking Apple at their word.

Edit: Looks like they are comparing with the Intel 8th-gen i7 version of the A2289 model which was released in May this year. There was a small deal made at the time when they released new Macbooks with both 8th-gen and 10th-gen models. Apparently there is not much difference between the 8th-gen and the 10th-gen chips in terms of CPU performance but it's still a bit disingenuous of Apple not to compare with the best of their previous models.

Maybe that's a fab yields play (binning, disabling cores with issues and sending them down to Air)
Hm, stgit wasn't mentioned.
I use it for exactly what I've always used function keys for- brightness and volume.

I also occasionally use the emoji picker or app specific stuff. For example- my markdown editor has Touchbar selections for code blocks and all that sort of stuff. I don't write enough markdown to remember everything- so the touchbar makes it nicely discoverable without having to click through menus.
Just wondering how does that work out to cover your cost of living? For example how much is rent, food, etc.?

I live in the Bay Area and my home owners insurance (fires, earthquakes), property taxes, etc. are that much.

Very much looking to leave this area in 2022.
The DRAM is embedded into the same SoC as the GPU and CPU. Hard to have a lot of DRAM inside a small package.
How mature is your API?
Steps to contributing to code you didn't write
They're not basing their congratulations on any special intelligence. They're literally just looking at the same public numbers every one else has that show Biden with an insurmountable lead in >270 EC votes worth of states.
The MacBook Air never had the Touch Bar, right?
Did I miss something, or are they, once again, not upgrading the camera? The low light performance of the current version is real bad. Since we're all using these cameras way more, I really thought there would a hardware bump. You can only squeeze so much detail out of an under-exposed, noisy image with software.
I expect this CPU is already faster than the i9 in most metrics.
Blind is terrible. I think only the toxic ones stick around though. I doubt most people are like this.
Sorry if that’s what you got, my intention was only to bring my experience that these symptoms can indeed come from « anxiety », not that it’s the exclusive cause.
Surprisingly, the dealbreaker for me on this current generation is 2x TB3 ports on one side. I really like being able to charge from either side.
How was this not called AppleCore™
Someone already answered this, but yes, it's native. I've been building with C# since it was first released, and dotnet core has really opened up development on Linux for me - I build apps for Linux and Docker all the time, and they "just work" the same as they do on Linux.
Just wanted to say, I used filepicker.io years and years ago on a project and it was wonderful. Thanks for developing something that was easy to use and intuitive, especially when I was still learning the ropes.
Counterpoint: half my upvotes are from humour, and some topics cry out for a lightening of tone.

Unsurprisingly, I’ve found levity is best received when incorporating a kernel of fact or observation. Also, timezone matters.

Jokes are easy. Comedy is hard.
Why would you care about per-journey statistics? Surely all that's demonstrating is that cars are often used for very brief, non-highway travel.

When the question is of how to travel between cities or states, why do you find the relative safety of low speed non-highway driving to be relevant?
I honestly expected more. While compute performance and power efficiency seems to be really good, the M1 chip is apparently limited to 16GB RAM, 2TB storage and 2 Thunderbolt/USB4 controllers.

Comparing the new 13" MacBook Pro with the previous one that's a regression in every aspect as the Intel-based ones allow up to 32GB RAM and 4TB storage and offer 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports.
No, but at least it has an esc key.
binning i guess?
Indeed. Big tech actually provides both more money and better work-life balance than your typical startup. I think the main tradeoff is that it's more "corporate," but that will depend in large part on your team.
Two fewer Thunderbolt ports on the MacBook Pro. That’s not an upgrade...?
https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-13/specs/

One external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz

https://www.apple.com/mac-mini/specs/

One display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz connected via Thunderbolt and one display with up to 4K resolution at 60Hz connected via HDMI 2.0
Really, 16GB max? I find it very strange how Apple went from targeting professionals, seeing the strategy work from the ground up for many years, but now somehow want to pivot to hobbyists/others instead of professionals.

Could someone try to help me figure out the reasoning behind Apple changing the target customer?
Also no more 10G ethernet.
Most likely it was my fault. One of the basic strategy I started to use was selling verticals with 68% chance of success with breakeven price at 1 standard deviation away. If you are right you should win $1 but if you are wrong, you lose $2. In theory, you would break even if you do just that (minus commision). But you can increase your odds of win by closing positions at 50% of max win or loss. You can further read news and reddit and close your positions earlier if something seems off. However, a lot of training videos such as TastyTrade said that news should be already reflected in the prices, so it should not require too much attention.

The mistake I made was probably because I pretty much ignored online forums, news, etc. Maybe I started to read too much about algotrading and wanted to automate my trading.

Last year, all I did was look at upcoming earnings, search each company on reddit, /r/wsb, Twitter, etc. If it seemed people are expecting that company will beat estimates, sell puts spread that is expiring same week. Due high volatility before earnings, you can earn decent premium even with only a few days left before expiration. Also since we have been in bulls market, so I selling puts was kind of safer bet.
There were some geekbench results posted online, that ranged single core performance from ~600-1100, compared to the ~1150 in last Intel MacBook Pro.
I'm also curious if eGPUs are still supported.
Congrats to everyone involved. This is a huge accomplishment and arguably many steps in the right direction.

We are very excited to get our hands dirty with .NET 5 sometime in Q1 next year. We currently run on .NET Core 3.1. I expect our migration from 3.1=>5.0 will be a total non-event, but we don't want to risk any regressions during our current crunch phase. Our migration from 4.7=>2.0 was the most difficult, but once we got everything off Framework and onto Core things have been going really smoothly with the incremental upgrades. Really hoping this trend continues indefinitely.

The only part of .NET 5.0 that has left me disappointed is the continued lack of polymorphic deserialization support in System.Text.Json - a la Newtonsoft.Json's TypeNameHandling enumeration. This is the only thing holding us back from migrating to this first-party dependency. I have already left feedback regarding our use case in the appropriate dotnet/runtime GH issue.

The biggest new features I am looking forward to are the performance enhancements surrounding startup time, GC, etc. Improved P95 latency is something that will be very welcome in some of our busier environments.

In terms of the overall package that .NET brings to the table, we couldn't be happier. Sure, VS could run a little smoother and some of the configuration/DI stuff can be very aggravating (at first), but overall its a fantastic experience.
Parler isn't catering to the far-right. They are catering for conservatives and other right leaning individuals.
It's already the case that the Macbook Pro and Air have the "same" CPU - 1068NG7 and 1060NG7 are physically the same die, but with different power limits.
That's a "you're holding it wrong" argument. There are always human factors, no matter how well trained. So while the errors these pilots made shouldn't have happened if they were better trained, at least one of the errors, fighting over who was controlling the plane w/o realizing it, is impossible in a Boeing cockpit.
Will the presence of ARM silicon over Intel mean these macbooks will be poorer developer machines?
Thank you, I updated the comment.
Maybe not the on-paper clock-speed, but likely the effective clock due to throttling
Oh you know that private video chat that that literally everyone uses, it's not private.

How is this getting almost no attention from the ms media?
Personally I tried using it for F keys which is quite frankly the only requirement I’d have and it was awful. At a fully extended hand, which you need to do if you’ve hit a meta key, it’s impossible to hit the right F keys every time. I don’t know how anyone writes code on those machines.

It went back to the Apple store within a week and I got an air. Which went to the Apple store in a week because the keybbboooaaarrdd wwaaass aawwwful.

Then I bought a thinkpad. Which is less of a shiny toy.
The word "fast" appears 16 times on the page.
I just checked the store configurator and there is no option to upgrade the Pro with M1 to 32, which is consistent with the presentation.
Thanks Dang! I love your work this is a great place for discussion. Hopefully my comments are not too shitty.
And it's no longer user accessible. No more saving money by buying 8gb and upgrading manually, even on the Mac Mini
Agreed. Async is nice on the server but on the desktop it’s a real problem. For a while they had both sync and async but now it’s often only async.

I just finished an app that had to shutdown while some async operations were still not finished. Really hard to manage compared to using threads.
He gets to have artisinal fair trade beans.
"Poor" implies that it exists at all. For sys admins, most MacOS components are completely undocumented, or are documented with sparse copies of BSD documents from 20+ years ago.
I think they Apple said last time that you'd be able to run ARM Windows, not x86 as of yet.
Maybe binning. Good chips go into Pro, chips with defects in one of the GPU cores go to Air.
I don't see that.

You might have looked at the 16" one, which did not get updated today.
The OP is likely referring to the newly-announced Air with the same M1 chip.
VirtualDJ supports using it for a crossfader, but then, it would be a way better move to buy an Air, and a real audio interface and mixing board, or at least an external controller.
Aren’t records pretty trivial to create as a custom class in C#?
except at least initial the airlines will probably accommodate the people who don't want to get on the plane because it is a Max. Better a little problem of rebooking, than social media posts that will remind people hey they are forcing you on a death trap.

Whether it is or not, best not bring attention to the fact you might be flying on a Max.
..without a fan
Trying to put together a few example patches for xwm (i.e. focus borders and workspace). But once I get some bandwidth, I plan to provide some comparison data. =)
> Only up to 16gb of memory on the MacBook Pro?!?!

It supports up to 64GB of 2666MHz DDR4 memory. (Source: Went through the "Buy" process to see the options.)
My opinion on this is not popular but I absolutely love the way go handles errors. I love that errors are returned by functions and then immediately handled. I prefer it to the try/catch paradigm where the error is maybe handled somewhere up the call stack
That is interesting. Both Mac Mini versions have a 8 core GPU. I wonder why they made the distinction for Macbook air.
> They say that the study is in the Lancet Psychiatry. If you highlight "Lancet Psychiatry," right click, and search Google, this study is on the front of the site. Put in some effort FFS.

Don't really think this is how citing sources works. "Find them yourself" isn't a valid citation strategy.
They kept the touch bar but it seems that they added (back) a physical Esc key, isn't that the most criticized missing key?

Which other key do you miss now that Esc is back?
I agree that the world is better with independant journalists seeking and speaking truth to power. However, I disagree with your conclusion that the way to get this is basically state funded journalists. State controlled media is a sign of corrupt governments world wide, we must not go in that direction.
All of them, including Mini.
That assumes people use Twitter solely for politics. It's a social media app, people are on there to look at animal videos, celebrity gossip, answer dumb polls etc.

Parler's growth is happening directly due to the impact of the election, and Twitter adding disclaimers to claims of ballot interference. It won't continue at this rate, because besides political kinship, there is nothing there for users to do. Nobody enjoys the political zones of Twitter, unless they're 'dunking' on the opposition. On Parler, there is no opposition.
Probably Tiger Lake-U. I definitely believe M1 is faster.

Apple has a history of pretending things like Nvidia or Ryzen don't exist when it suits them so I'm sure there will be gotcha benchmarks down the line.

Apple also compared against "best-selling PCs" several times, but the best-selling PCs are the cheapest junk so obviously Macs will be faster than those.
It seems to be due to the fact they are integrating the DRAM into the package. There is only room for two 8GB DIMMs:

I don't think you are supposed to live indefinitely under chronic conditions. We're so outside of design scopes.
+1. I was having a really bad day several months ago and in a spat with a higher karma user who I really thought was in the wrong. @dang stepped in and just about banned me -- but stopped short and said this:

> There's clearly a pattern here. I'm not going to ban you now because you've also posted good comments, but please don't post any more personal attacks to HN, and please avoid tedious tit-for-tat entanglements with other users where the argument slides further to the right of the page as it slides further down in quality.

It sounds pretty stupid to say that I had a change of heart moment there, but I did. Whether or not I disagreed with another user on the internet was besides the point -- what was I getting out of /engaging/ with it that way? Was I acting the way I would want someone else to behave in a community? Of course not.

It turns out (as is often the case) that I was /extremely/ unhappy with my old job, burnt out and really struggling to keep it together and prevent the toxicity of my management chain from seeping into my personal life. Altogether very unsuccessfully, I might add. So I left. I didn't like the person I was turning into on the internet, pandemic or not.

Now, in retrospect, while I don't disagree with the content of what I said, I cringe with how I said it, and that I even engaged in the first place. In large part because that kind of engagement goes against the spirit of this forum which I cherish so much and find a reprieve from much of the rest of the internet.

A reprieve in large part due to the tireless, high quality work of @dang -- a reprieve that I myself threatened. Now isn't that self-destructive and ironic? Well, if you're reading this @dang, thanks for not banning me. You taught me a valuable lesson which I already knew but which just wasn't sinking in. I'd like to hope I am beginning to more deeply internalize the lesson you taught me that day.
I'm very curious to see some real benchmarks. I have no doubt that they've achieved state of the art efficiency using 5nm, but I have a harder time believing that they can outperform the highest end of AMD and Intel's mobile offerings by so much (especially without active cooling). Their completely unit-less graph axes are really something...
Microsoft even released a Surface device with an ARM processor.
The 2 lower machines on the selection page are intel ones, and are the only ones with 32Gb option
Well consider this: the legal system considers time served in prison as forgiveness, meaning that said murderers, rapists etc can go back to the streets once their sentences are over, regardless of whether they feel remorse or whether they are inclined to repeat their offenses. There's also stigma among employers etc against hiring ex-cons, which can help perpetuate vicious cycles.

There are places in europe, for example, where they focus on developing skills so that someone trying to integrate back into society has a more legitimate shot at being successful. Others have implemented non-policing systems such as drug addiction rehab programs, effectively diverting funds from a policy of handling certain types of issues as policing/legal issues and instead treat them as public health issues.

I also recall reading about a small town in US that was composed almost entirely of ex-cons, where they could start a normal-ish life in preparation to jumping back into the regular society, stigmas and all.

The topic of punishment of "lost causes" is itself sometimes a hot button. Some societies consider death penalty acceptable while others do not, for example. There's even differences in laws regarding things like involuntary manslaughter in driving accidents, for example (notoriously, the case of core.js maintainer going to prison for it). We could probably be here all day debating what is "beyond redemption" or not, and not come to an agreement, and we can see from the ratio of small crime inmates that we tend to err on the side of far too much caution / vengeful spirit.

You cannot treat miscreant behavior as if it was a movie, where you beat the bad guy and get a happy ending. Real people are complex beasts and life goes on after the credits roll.
Does tweetdeck handle threads properly? I tried a few different 3p clients but found them all lacking. Just gave up then and just used the web client every now and again.

Yes - I always assumed the eventual goal was a touch bar with the same haptic feedback as the trackpad (and no the trackpad doesn't move).
The M1 MacBook Pro starts with 8GB and has an option for 16GB. I was talking about the Mac mini which in the Intel version has an option for 64GB (at +$1000 it's not exactly cheap).
No 32GB options on any of the models announced today is a shame. Or not I guess as it means I won't be buying anything today

M1 looks impressive, hopefully it scales as well to higher TDPs.

Pretty much what I expected today with all the low power models getting updated.

With no fan I expect the Air will throttle the CPU quickly when using the high performance cores. Calling it an "8-core CPU" is a little cheeky IMHO but I guess everyone does it.

Looking at the config options it seems the CPU/SoC is literally the "M1" and that's it. No different speeds like before so apparently the same CPU/SoC in the Pro and the Air? I guess the fans in the Pro will allow the high performance more headroom but still kinda odd. I wonder if that will carry over to the 16" MBP next year?

I am disappointed to see the design is identical to what we currently have. I was hoping we would see a little refinement with thinner screen bezels, perhaps a slightly thicker lid to fit in a better web cam (rather than just better "image processing") and FaceID.

Overall I am disappointed due to 16GB max RAM and the same old design. I guess we will see the bigger machines get updates sometimes between March and July 2021.

Also are we calling it the M1 CPU or the M1 SoC?
I've moderated forums similar to HN and it's a mixed bag. There are pretty much always troublesome users who deliberately look for ways to push boundaries or break rules in spirit but not in letter. Dealing with them is a huge drain and it can be really depressing to find out how many people there are going out of their way to make your community unpleasant. Or you spend half your time deleting the same racial slurs from the same 5 or 6 people who keep evading bans.

The drama is exciting though.
> - 8 cores,

It is big.LITTLE, so 4 fast + 4 slow cores.
Binding to specific cores is not exposed to userspace, but you can influence which kinds of cores it's likely to be run on by setting thread priorities and QoS classes.
It's not quite as insulting as their $800 2TB SSD.
You can encrypt a function with FHE, but the applications of that are limited because the output is encrypted as well. We've had provably secure FHE since Gentry's 2009 paper.

Obfuscation roughly means "encrypting a function." But here be dragons: since the adversary gets non-black-box access to the implementation of the function (a circuit), and can also learn as many (input, output = f(input)) pairs as they want, it becomes impossible to say that the adversary cannot learn anything else about f in the general case (intuitively, consider a higher-order function f: you could learn a lot about f by computing f(f)).
Ethbr0 is most likely referring to the 737-800, not the rebranded 737-8
This is their 13" model. Their 15" model is targeted for professionals.
