That would seem likely.

But then the polls should undercount a population that is more likely to vote for the Dems and so the polls should have shown more support for the republicans than what happened in the elections.

Maybe we should just have taken the lesson of Dewey defeating Truman and not trusted polls is the first place.
Indeed, but you'd definitely notice (unlike on the Airbus). Furthermore, if I'm not mistaken, you'd then have a split elevator (one side up, one side down), while the Airbus just averages the two inputs and sets the elevator there, conceptually.
So real question -- is Apple aggressively marketing this as "Apple Silicon" instead of ARM just a marketing gimmick, or have they done something substantive that makes this no longer and/or more special than regular ARM processors?
Hitting a wall how? The machine stops working properly? Or you see all the RAM allocated in Activity Monitor? Because MacOS aggressively allocates RAM even under a normal workload.
Software Engineers hiring at 5x efficiency and 1/2 cost
Hello to the community!
I am Nikunj Bajaj, co-founder & CEO at EntHire and recently started EntHire where we help companies hire-

1. 1 in every 5 candidates we refer 2. Close positions in 2 weeks from posting 3. Do it at half the market cost.

The way we achieve this is by building uberized model for both candidate sourcing and candidate vetting which allows us to hit scale and quality at the same time.

We have already done hires with multiple unicorns across the world and would love to participate in the growth journey of a lot of startups in this community.

Feedback and suggestions on the product is welcome.
I only notice any issues when driving a big 4k monitor - seems like the graphics is the limitation to me.
It's equally plausible, if not more likely, that the impact here is just that Apple laptops are no longer viable for those developing cloud applications where the ISA is relevant.
Are they using HBM2 memory? I keep waiting for AMD to do that in a cpu package.
You could spin up your own Bitcoin fork in an afternoon. The difference between Bitcoin and x87678rCoin is confidence. No one knows or cares about x87678rCoin. x87678rCoin has no track record or evidence that it will be maintained and supported by any ecosystem in the long run. Until x87678rCoin proves itself, it is contributing nothing to the supply of cryptocurrencies. Zero.

If buying machines is the easy part then you would expect TSMC to be leading the market because it can just double its manufacturing capacity based on existing processes, meanwhile competitors would have to start from scratch.
As bad as election polls are, at least you get to find out the truth eventually. A lot of polling has to do with domains where there's no easy way of establishing ground truth. But ironically it would appear to me people tend to trust these polls more. While most seem to be skeptical about election polling, they might share exit polls on, say, demographics, without questioning their accuracy.
...for portable Mac non-general-purpose computers...

How much are you willing to bet that there will be next to no public documentation for this SoC, just like with all the other tablet/phone ones out there? This is a scary turn of events - I still remember when Apple introduced their x86 transition and focused on how you could also run Windows on their "branded PCs", and the openness and standardisation was much welcomed... but then Apple slowly started to change that, and now they are on their way to locking down everything under their control.

Memeshirts.org is suing Amazon's Meme Print-on-Demand sceme
Today we have launched our first medium article in the process to sue sites like Amazon and Redbubble, who profit without crediting the original artists of coutntless internet famous memes.

Yes, we are a marketplace of meme goods, but we are also fighting for royalties for our clients, who are the original memeists.

Help us take on these giant print-on-demand companies that are illegally profiting off of meme related material, every day.
It couldn't be because those colleges promote left wing ideas? I honestly couldn't tell you because I haven't been to one in over 10 years. However there is this idea that left-wing ideas are correct because those that are educated have them as if they came to these ideas because they are better educated.

I see no evidence of this at all. Most people who are educated at a University level seem to be just as misinformed as those that aren't about political issues.

The difference I find is that those that are University educated have a particular hubris about their political views whereas those that aren't typically don't.

Also poor (logical) reasoning doesn't dissapear because someone is university educated. They are typically better at defending their bad reasoning.

SQLite 2020 Status Report
What kind of slave? A human slave? They're more valuable in other forms of labor than harvesting their organs (usually; sometimes organ prices can exceed labor value). That's why slavery and organ harvesting still exist after all, if no one thought it was valuable, then it wouldn't exist. We don't have slaves in developed countries because we figured out that former slaves being able to use their brains for labor rather than their physical prowess was more valuable for society as a whole.
The Resurgence of Functional Programming
On the SwiftUI side, you might go digging in these docs for Previews, which are one of its biggest selling points: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/previews

Take 30 seconds to read through that and the linked pages (that's all the time it will take) and see if you could figure out how to use a PreviewDevice to make your preview show a particular device.

It will tell you all the ways to initialize a PreviewDevice struct (from many different varieties of String), but you'll have no fucking idea what to do with that object.

And here's an actual code sample, via Paul Hudson:

struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
Group {
ContentView()
.previewDevice(PreviewDevice(rawValue: "iPhone SE"))
.previewDisplayName("iPhone SE")

ContentView()
.previewDevice(PreviewDevice(rawValue: "iPhone XS Max"))
.previewDisplayName("iPhone XS Max")
}
}
}

It turns out what you need to do is pass the PreviewDevice instance into a previewDevice modifier that you've applied to your view inside a struct adhering to the PreviewProvider protocol. I don't think this docs page even mentions that the previewDevice modifier exists, let alone how to put any of these pieces together to configure and display a preview.

You can find how to do this in tutorials elsewhere on Apple's site. But you can't find it in their documentation for Previews, because it's a bunch of automatically generated pages of function signatures with no explanation.
No, I was referring to a line of thinking very common among folks I’ve met who grew up in post-USSR Russia vis a vis the worldview of many of the people I know who grew up in the USSR before.

The former tend to think everyone is corrupt and that if people have success or wealth or anything, it’s because those people swindled someone out of it or were connected to the right people.

Those who grew up in the USSR tend to have a more meritocratic worldview, where hard work and intelligence and studying for exams will result in a better life.

Maybe the people I know [strike]are[/strike] aren’t representative of those times and places. No matter, you can find justification for either worldview in nearly any situation, whether it’s 1970s USSR or ‘90s Russia or ‘50s America or Trump’s America. Reality is nuanced and filled with thoughtful insights that oppose each other and yet are equally true. The loudest people on HN are not people trying to square that circle.
It's not normally paging, but thermal throttling which involves the machine appearing to 'spin' but it's actually just the kernel keeping the cycles to itself, which typically give you beachballs as a side-effect.

And one tip is to use the right hand side USBC ports for charging, not the left hand ones as for some reason or other they tend to cause the machine to heat up more...
True. That's a case where 'change your organization or change your organization' applies. Like it or not, that decision is more in your own hands than in those of the external mismanagers.
This is a “Pro” machine though. It’s the exact opposite market, not for people who can fit on a Chromebook.

Rationalize however you want for yourself - pros that choose to use Apple products are already generally aware of how their hardware money grab works.

I suspect Valve's interest is more in pushing PC gaming as a hardware platform. You saw some of that with the Steam Link and Steam Controller. I suspect they want to resurrect the Steam Machine and sell it with Linux OEM. If they start selling a portable (like the Switch or even the 3DS), I'd buy it on day one.

What all of these have in common is that they would be easier (and probably more profitable) if you can make the operating system cheaper.

The central bank / federal reserve controls monetary policy. Explaining the path of money creation to consumer is beyond my scope, but basically it always starts with the feds.

The power to create money is indeed useful at times. However, there are problems with it that eventually arise over time.

Cryptocurrencies/blockchains simply provide infrastructure outside the control of the government or any single entity. The applications we decide to use with it is ultimately up to us.

No, they didn't. They were off by 4 in AZ (and called it for Trump), by 5 in Georgia (again for Trump), 6 in Michigan (again), 8 in Wisconsin (and again), and 3 in PA (which they, again, called for Trump). They were also off by 7 in Minneapolis (which they correctly called for Biden) and 6 in Ohio (which they correctly called for Trump).

There was a narrative on e-day that Trafalgar had done a good job, because Democratic votes were disproportionately counted later in the week. But if you'd relied on Trafalgar predictions to allocate resources in an election, you'd have gotten depantsed.
> some advantages of ARM will shine, such as more energy efficient, more cores

ARM doesn't have any such benefits. The ISA has minimal impact on power efficiency, performance, or even core counts.

Apple's specific CPU has so far been pretty good, but that isn't the result of running ARM nor does it translate to other ARM CPUs. The specific CPU implementation matters here, not the ISA.
Funny enough, listening to the narrator's voice gave me an impression of very serious and somewhat condescending note. Personally, I do not consider HN in that way.

I think about HN as a place where we share ideas, playful place regardless of how complex a topic is.

The main point is to put in the spotlight ideas, not people. Attacking an idea is ok, attacking people is not.
> No, I'm literally complaining about the misleading messaging surrounding .Net 5.0 "merging" .Net Framework and .Net Core.

Yes, it’s kinda cheating. On the other hand it has been obvious since .Net Core 1.0 that this is where the future is going to be.

All announcements before .Net 5 has been clear on the compatibility issues and preparations required, for a couple of years now.

Whoever haven’t been planning this migration can thank themselves.

Calling what is effectively .Net Core 4.0 for simply “.Net 5.0” is just a way to make it completely obvious, even to those not paying attention, that .Net Framework 4.8 is now superseded, and that the upgrade path is .Net (Core). There’s no other option around the corner. Get with the times. Etc.
Right, that’s the thing isn’t it—sometimes an abundance of documentation is actually not a good thing. matplotlib is a good example, its documentation fails to convey the common arguments and to what degree they are universal or not; reading the code is really the easier way in the end.

I know a girl, my 'Viking friend' that landed upside down with a tractor on top of her. Just about everything that could be broken was broken. She ended up a thrill seeker because anything that would have killed her was also a blessing in disguise. Constant chronic pain at the maximum of what you are able to endure and live. The choice: painkillers and zoned out, unable to do much of anything or no painkillers, continuously in pain but at least conscious. She eventually learned how to deal with it, found a job that took her all over the world and is now happily married. One very impressive person.
Whenever discussing the US flag code it's important to mention that the statute is unconstitutional as determined in United States v. Eichman.

Hey, thanks for taking a look at this :) Yeah, you more than welcome to try this out for your project! Can you provide some examples of what kind of upbeat music do you mean? A few YT videos would do. Much more genres are coming really soon, not only ambient but beats, orchestral music and so on :)
I don't think you've understood my point. At every step of the way you've put in more effort than writing the program and specifying the examples. Clearly this is not trivial.

If you're actually inferring programs and not just doing a sort of guided line-by-line generalization of a program you had already written, the only things you would need would be

Positive examples
-----------------
ordered([a],[b,c],[d,e,f]).

Negative examples
-----------------
ordered([a],[b],[c]).
ordered([a,b,c],[a,b],[c]).

I was never in doubt that it was possible to write a different program which would ‘solve’ <=. My criticism was that “it's a different problem”.
The reason is almost certainly that its the lowest power laptops is where the volume is and because it makes absolute sense to go for that part of the market first.

I'm really impressed by what they've done in this part of the market - which would have been impossible with Intel CPUs.
Hey guys,

Anyone knows if the M1 would be faster for GPU bound work than 2020 MacBook Pro 16-inch with AMD Radeon 5600? I just spent over $4K and just got it delivered yesterday. Thinking of returning it if it does not compare favorably on GPU performance to the new M1 13-inch MacBook Pro. Insight/advice?

> having a virus that the governments and media make out to be as if it's as deadly as the bubonic plague

I don't understand. The media isn't doing this. The US government is definitely not doing this (not sure where you are). And you were probably exaggerating when you said bubonic plague, but the death rate is like 10-15% for that. The media is definitely not saying that it's even close to that at a population level.

If you actually listen to the media, they all say that all of the precautions are mostly for those in vulnerable populations. In fact, the entire reason we wear masks is because covid is so mild in healthy people that you might not know when you get it, and then you'll spread it.
If there was any political support for changing the approach to the NSA one of the candidates would back it.
Why does Gold have value? Everyone just agrees that it does, and once that has been true for a while you can trust that it will continue to be true tomorrow and beyond.

Bitcoin seems to be entering that domain, at least in my opinion. Like gold it can't be inflated on a whim, and it's a good reserve store of value that can be stored and sent anywhere in the world much more easily than gold.

There's definitely a vocal subsection of the crypto community that wants to spend BTC or some other cryptocurrency for everything they buy down to a cup of coffee, and FWIW I agree with what you're saying and I also don't understand that line of thinking. It solves no problem for me, buying a cup of coffee in a developed country. But like gold, BTC doesn't need to be used for that purpose to be useful.

And then of course, it's also an alternative store of value for people in other places who can't trust their own government's currency. But I think even this (very real, very useful) use case is dwarfed by its use as a store of value in rich countries which is the largest factor in driving its valuation, since the majority of the world's wealth is held in rich countries.
Interesting. Volume and brightness adjustment is my least favorite part of the touchbar. With physical keys I can adjust the volume/brightness without looking down.

If it were a physical slider, I'd totally agree with you.

(Not that there's any right or wrong or answer here.)

Do you mean a private list of your own tags that the UI would then display to you? Interesting idea.

It's done by a number of means, including online. IIRC, live caller polls still tend to produce the best results, though.

Anyone with a job that requires them to talk to people with unknown numbers calling. There is one bias right there. Probably people who don't get that many cold calls outside elections, which must fit some sort of demographic as well.

But the better pollsters don't just call. They use various online methods as well. 538 lists the following methods, and rates a pollster higher if they use more of them:

Live — Live telephone interviews, including cellphones.

Landline — Live telephone interviews, not including cellphones.

Live* — Live telephone interviews, but FiveThirtyEight cannot confirm whether cellphones are included.

IVR — Interactive voice response, otherwise known as automated polls or “robopolls.”

Online — Poll conducted by internet; generally, this means by web browser, but it’s inclusive of text message or application-based polling of mobile phones.

Mail — By U.S. mail or other “snail mail” service.
Except the RAM is in the M1 now. Pretty good excuse Id'say.
Accurate polling is important because it lets politicians and journalists know what is politically possible. But, over-reliance on polls can prevent politicians from doing things that are right but unpopular.

TL;DR: Distrustful people don't talk to strangers. They vote differently too.
I hope these new Macs will respect the openness we've had on the PC platform for the past 30 years and allow you to run any operating system you like without being beholden to the manufacturer (like they do on the iPhone). I'm really worried that Apple is gaining too much power over the platform and they are going to make it difficult (or near impossible) to boot other operating systems (e.g. Linux)
The compression is as good as the compression tool you use on farbfeld file. From description this looks like BMP with less features. Since it is part of suckless project I am quite sure that there indeed is nothing more to it.
> So, essentially their new Macbook line is a glorified iPhone/iPad but with a foldable display (on a hinge)?

This isn't some new. Since day 1, the iPhone has always been a tiny computer with a forked version of OS X.

> but if it means that repairability suffers then we'll just end up with a whole wave of disposable laptops.

Laptops have been largely "Disposable" for some time. In the case of the Mac, that generally means the laptop lasts for 10-15 years unless there is some catastrophic issue. Generally after that long, when a failure happens even a moderate repair bill is likely to trigger a new purchase.
People who have COVID-19 have health problems and get screened for all sorts of things. Dementia that had been there all along are therefore is more likely to get diagnosed.
HN likes to masquerade as some sort of upscale establishment, high and above the petty squabbles of Eslewhere, but in the end this place too devolves into a predictable echo chamber just like the rest of them, when it comes to any topic on which people have varied opinions.

This isn't a place where dissenting opinions get upvotes. Why should they? I think a fair of posters with plenty of karma are still willing to post things that get massively downvoted and cause a reaction. I'm getting better at it. I keep a mental model of how I've reacted to HN, look at the page - "there's the reaction, down five or ten points", "hmm, I'm guess down and up votes balanced", "ah, that was a crowd pleaser".

I don't think hn is more broken than America or the Internet or whatever.
Haha. I will admit that it is sometimes just for convenience, but when testing networking code, or writing things to interoperate with large system I do really need 3-4 VMs running.
It's a bit more complicated than that. See [1].

From a marketing standpoint it doesn't make sense to update the design (this is typical Apple from what I've observed) - People will buy into the novelty of the new CPUs. For the refresh, you will probably see some design changes.
An exit would most likely be a trigger on a SAFE. But then it comes down to what the cap was, and how much the VC would get on their return.

I'm wondering if the math worked out that the firm would end up with less than half their investment, it's in their best interest to have a write-off and the founder benefits and potentially comes back to them with a new business later, instead of squeezing the founder for a few dollars.
To be fair to the rest of the world, this comment is written on a 20 year old PC. It has had some component upgrades, but works like a champ after 20 years.
