I thought my MBP's 16GB was fine. For a long time I rarely saw usage over 8GB.

But for a few months everything was running rather slow and I put it down to other causes.

One day I looked at the memory usage and saw it was using 10GB swap in addition to about 14.5GB RAM. And when I clicked things that responded slowly, the memory pressure meter was lighting up. Swapping was why it was slow.

It's pretty fast swap, being on SSD, but it was the reason for the slowdowns. Probably not doing the SSD any good either (they wear out if written to constantly).

Turns out Safari was using 8GB by itself. Restarting Safari helped (it's quick to restart which is nice). Safari, like Chrome, uses a lot of memory after opening a bunch of tabs because of using separate processes for each tab.

I also use Firefox, but it uses 6-8GB for me too.

Then there's my VM running my Linux dev environment. Now I only give it 4GB, which is a bit tight but I run some things remotely so it's ok. I had to shrink it from 6GB to get my performance back.

Sometimes I'm foolish enough to have LibreOffice or MS Word open to look at documents. They aren't memory hogs, but when you've lost most of it to the browser(s) and dev VM, little things like office apps push it a few GB over the edge.

I'm also running Emacs with quite a lot loaded into it, and many iTerms, but they use so little RAM compared with the big stuff, it barely registers.

Nowadays I pay more attention to memory use, mostly use only one browser at a time, and restart more often.

Even so, it's hovering around 5GB swap at the moment, and I haven't got much going on at the moment.

Based on this, I know I can live with 16GB but it is restricting what I use and how I work now. 32GB would be let me stop thinking about RAM again, and I expect in a few years it will be nearly full, as usage tends to grow over time (as I found already).

If I could buy a new MBP knowing I could upgrade the RAM I'd be happy to buy at 16GB, but as you can't upgrade, and I want a new laptop to last at least 5 years, I wouldn't be comfortable buying a dev machine at 16GB now.
Look at the same topic on NYT and WSJ and you'll see NYT uses a lot more emotional language while WSJ is more dry.
The point is they don’t quantify anything, or the exact methods they used to get those metrics - it’s basically pulled out of thin air (or their asses).

I look forward to hearing about an AG or consumer protection group/agency pressing Apple on this.
Apple TV 4K uses the A10X, which is ARMv8.0. That's so old that it even pre-dates the true atomics instructions (which are intro'd in 8.1-A). So it'll have to be a pretty heavyweight JIT to adapt ARMv8.3 code to that baseline.

For Apple A11 though, going from 8.3 -> 8.2 is much easier... and doable through a patch on fault method.
If Facebook is a de facto common carrier, this should surprise no one. There was probably a lot of “misinformation” on the old AT&T telephone network, both single point and multipoint.

I assume telephones were used to coordinate the activities of the German American Bund, the Weather Underground and various cults, California and otherwise.

I am what you would describe as a “privacy conscious person” so over time I’ve been moving out of Google products.

Instead of making me pay for additional storage [1], I wish I could pay for the ability to use all of Google’s products with increased privacy (no tracking, no reading my emails, ability to turn off YouTube recommendations etc.). I would pay for that because the products themselves are great.

Low wage workers are pretty much guaranteed to be net-negative tax contributors. Their tax refund each year is going to be larger than what they cumulatively paid due to refundable tax credits. “Lowering taxes” for people in that position is the same as handing out money.

WebTransport is the kind of stuff that makes me lose faith in the capacity for humanity to consciously evolve.

It's like your great-great-great-grandparents built a house out of brick. Each new generation there's more people. Everyone wants to live in the same house, but they can't all fit. They try to build the house larger, but it will only work so high with brick. So they start shoving tin and iron and steel into each new floor to reinforce it. Eventually you have a skyscraper where the top floors are built out of titanium, and the bottom floor is several-hundred-years-old brick. But hey, we have a taller building!

You could say this is a perfect example of evolution, like big bright red baboon butts. But if the evolution were conscious, we'd want things to improve over time, not just make the same crap scale larger.

Demon's Souls PS5 Impressions
I am curious how or why this is different from trying to boot Darwin on aarch64.
Sure but with solar, wind and HVDC prices now below the cost of coal and continuing to drop, with transportation starting down the slippery cost slope of electrification, with China's mass build out with concrete and steel starting to wane in 2030 and beyond and finally with the world population bending the curve around 2050 there will be a dramatic lowering of new atmospheric carbon by 2050 and beyond. Will it be enough to keep sea levels from rising quickly? Fasten your seat belt and tighter your sphincter, by 2100 we'll know if we've won or lost.

Personally I would like to see some temperature mitigation projects right now while we deal with the CO2 levels over the next 80 years.
macOS already runs on arm64e, that's what was given to developers as part of the Universal App Quick Start program.
I was blown away when Propellerheads Reason introduced wire patching fully working on Windows XP!! This is one of the oldest videos I could find quickly: https://youtu.be/IC1ejK2chLg. Just to put time into perspective, the introduction of this actual feature pre-dates Facebook!
It's a mobile CPU with many silicon advantages (widest decoder in industry, memory closer, deepest re-order buffer of any CPU and much more) plus a sane ISA and optimized OS. So yeah, you're seeing the benefit of Apples integration. That's why even the Anandtech page calls that graph "absurd", because it seems unreal, but it's real.
Itt a bunch of people who have no clue about anything.
XNU happens to be mostly open-source.
In the forum post you mentioned, it is said that aliases are on the short-term roadmap, so I wouldn't be surprised if it is released in a couple weeks (the developers are fast!).

Tables can be done with Markdown anyway (with a plugin to make it easier), there is a Calendar plugin, IIRC timelines are in development, though you can already do Gantt charts with Mermaid.

It depends what exactly you want, but right now it's mainly static Markdown with features like templates, bidirectional linking, etc. but community-developed plugins and new features will likely quickly enable the features you need. I have been using Obsidian for a few weeks and it's been quite nice :)
I'm assuming (for now) that discrete GPUs will still be featured in higher-end machines, so the Radeon drivers will appear over the next couple of years.
As a side note... thank you for Ardour!!
It'll run pretty much all the same stuff as the current/previous generation of MacBooks. XCode builds universal binaries, which covers the bulk of current apps, and a built-in translation/emulation layer (Rosetta 2) helps bridge the gap with some of the rest. Plus iOS apps as well.
He's assuming he didn't need 32GB if he's replacing it with a 16GB Air.

This is a pretty good single thread number. It's essentially the same as Zen 3. On the other hand, it's using 5nm rather than 7nm to get there, so 5nm Ryzen is likely to pull ahead in the not too distant future.

The more interesting thing is the power efficiency, which doesn't have that much impact on single thread performance because higher power CPUs don't actually use their entire power budget for a single thread. But that's an impressive multi-threaded score for that TDP. It gets stomped by actual desktop CPUs for the obvious reason, but it has better multi-threaded performance than anything with the same TDP. Though that's also partially because the low-TDP Zen 3 CPUs aren't out yet.

What I'd really like to see is some benchmarks that aren't geekbench.
I originally started down this path, trying to automate "culling," but found that (at least with the transfer models that I played with) ML-based "quality" scores weren't that great.

I read a paper about stochastic search, tried it out with my own photos, and found a novel UI that many of my beta testers think is one of my best features: https://photostructure.com/faq/why-photostructure/#fast-and-...
I'm not going to force anyone else to, I am expressing an opinion. I would be pushing this position if I were on a team with you because it's not just a dogma, it reflects the best knowledge I have about how to build software well. You are free to build software as you see fit and have always been.

5nm vs 14nm is the easiest explainable reason.
I guess you could see if the client has a cookie, and infer cache state from that.
Although I sometime upload things to YouTube, I'm primarily a YouTube viewer. Nevertheless, I think that the greatest strength of YouTube is the ease of uploading content. So many people have uploaded so much material on so many topics that just about anything you might want to learn about or enjoy is likely to be covered well on YouTube.

Many people have pointed out issues with recommendation algorithms, both on YouTube and elsewhere—particularly the “falling down the rabbit hole” phenomenon of getting deeper and deeper into conspiracy theories. I generally stay away from politics on YouTube, though, and most of my recommendations are actually quite helpful: good videos on topics that I’ve been viewing recently or have searched for.

So, for me at least, alternatives to YouTube would have to have those two features at a minimum: seamless uploading with few restrictions, and good recommendations. Whether that would be feasible commercially I have no idea.

Oh, one more thing: Hire the HN guys to design the moderation system for the new service's comments. YouTube comments are, in general, horrible.
I'm hoping that at least the basics will be here (posix shell, vim, browser, etc), I won't need anything else for a long long time.

As a long time (15+yrs) user of both. FLS has better ergonomics in a lot of places. Especially piano roll (slide MIDI notes) and arrangement view (automation as standalone clip). Plus the razor tool, my god...

Your 2013 would be at a huge performance disadvantage to the 2020 Intel Air and Pro.

Those are supposed at just as much of a disadvantage compared to the new Apple Silicon Air and Pro.

That's where shock comes in.
Had access to a DTK, and know even more devs who have one. Even that machine could run essentially all x86 software just fine with Rosetta (including things like dynamically loaded plugins). Only thing missing is virtualization, but that's coming soon (Docker & Parallels are working with Apple).
The one you shared looked crazy overclocked or something(it says 4.7 ghz). Almost all other tests of 1165 is in the range of single core performance of 1500. This is more representative of the chip of the same laptop: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/4648891?baselin...

It is true. Note that a single core can only use ~20W so high TDPs only matter for multicore.

Im fine for paying for Google photos IF:
Google signs an agreement stating they will not use or share my photos in any way.
They agree that I can migrate all my account data if they want to disable/lock my account.
*In other words, keep the control for the user/customer.
I agree, and would like to pay Google (would have already done so earlier), BUT, there is this gaping trust gap. I find it hard to trust that my account won't one day be randomly banned with no option to communicate with a human customer support agent.

Based on a cursory search, these bans are not so uncommon, and it is just scary

I've used make for all my projects. Highly recommended.
Personally, I prefer my journalism without entertainment.
Nope. This transition will be fast. Not like PPC -> Intel at all.

Everyone is on Xcode these days and using much higher level frameworks. Adobe and Microsoft already announced early 2021 availability of native binaries.

Besides, Rosetta 2 is even more impressive than the original was. I’m betting it will be a breeze. 6 months in and almost everything will be native.
IIRC Bitwig was actually featured in the Surface launch event (I think it was the very first generation of the Surface tablet, I might be wrong though).
Dude's right though. If you use the naming scheme everyone else uses, there isn't a name for the "class B" biasing that he talks about in that book. It's like a weird in between between class AB and class B.
What do you see as pros and cons of having the Linux Foundation running it and what are the core features?
Gotta be frank because it's not getting through: you're jumping way ahead here. Every time one of these threads has happened, there's an ever-increasing # of people who vaguely remember reading a story about Apple GeekBench numbers, so therefore this one is credible too - I used to be one of those people. This has been going regularly for 3-4 years now, and your interlocutor as well as other comments on this article are correct - comparing X86 versus ARM on GeekBench is nonsensical due to the way GeekBench eliminates thermal concerns and the impact of sustained load. Your iPhone can't magically do video editing or compile code faster than an i5.
Be aware, that in reality, for live performance, you have to buy a costly Push device. This is if you want to create live loops of a specified length and have them start playing automatically. They crippled this feature in the DAW so that you have to buy a Push. They could have allowed you to do this without a Push in many different ways. There is a third party tool called BinkLooper which gets you there, sort of, but it's not like what they worked out with their Push. I don't want the Push on stage and I don't want to spend what is basically the price of Live all over again (plus have another expensive thing to have to upgrade again and again).
TDP lost meaning years and years ago, and power usage isn't linear. The extra 100-300mhz at the top end is a huge impact to power.

Check out for example the per core power charts that Anandtech does: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16214/amd-zen-3-ryzen-deep-di...

Compare for example the 1 core power numbers between the chips. The 5600X 1 core result is 11w @ 4.6ghz, whereas the other two chips boost higher and hit 4.8-4.9ghz 1 core turbos, but it costs 17-18w to do it. Huge increase in power for that last 1-2% performance. So you really can't or shouldn't compare more power-concious configurations with the top end desktop where power is infinite and well worth spending for even single digit percentage gains.

And then of course you should also note that the single-core power draw in all of those is vastly lower than their TDP numbers (65w for the 5600x, and 125w for the 5800x/5900x).
This is one important aspect of media bias. It’s not just how you cover events, it’s what you choose to cover.

The media basically defines the content of “what are the important issues today”.
Unless they are written in optimised Asm I would not compare across architectures, because there is considerable leeway in compilers and my experience has shown that a good human can often beat a compiler solidly --- at least on x86.

Just a note in support of Matlab's sparse capabilities. For the last couple of years, I used Matlab successfully on large, sparse multiplication and factorization problems. A friend who was using R simply could not approach the scale I was able to work at, and I assume it's due to weak sparse support.

I was multiplying and inverting sparse triangular matrices of size 650K x 650K with Matlab, on a laptop. Just amazing.

> How do these types of licenses deal with software updates in general? Presumably, at some point they'll need to buy a new license anyway, and the issue will be moot, right?

It sounds like Intel produces an implementation of this thing that works on Intel and makes it available for free, whereas ARM don't (although another comment suggests Apple actually do), so you have to buy an expensive third-party implementation instead. That's not a difference that'll go away in the short term, and you can see why a processor company might legitimately choose one or the other approach.

> Do web-transport obscolete push?

No, it solves a completely different problem.

HTTP/2 Server Push is a mechanism where the server can send HTTP responses for resources it believes the client will need soon. (For example, if a client has just requested a web page with a bunch of images on it, the server could use Push to send those images without having to wait for the client to encounter the image tags and request the associated image resources.)

This is odd, since I thought Akamai was working on LL-HLS, and the spec recommends the use of HTTP/2 server push for periodic playlist updates.

e-Ink really does look very different. Especially if you are hanging it up in a bright, sunlit room, it is a world of difference from LCD. In fact, the sunnier it is, the better your e-Ink displays look, while the worse your LCD displays will look.

Also, e-Ink displays don't emit light so they are extremely pleasing to the eye, and don't light up your bedroom at night, if you want it in your bedroom. They also can maintain an image with zero power, which is great if you're conscious about energy usage.

The 2300 euro price of this display is a bit beyond my personal budget for projects, but if you're happy with 13.3 inches you can try this Waveshare display:

https://www.waveshare.com/13.3inch-e-paper-hat.htm

Or this 10 inch version for less than half the price of the 13.3 inch one, which I have:

https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/epaper-1/...

If you want a clean construction with all the electronics in one piece, another option you might consider is to hunt for used, 13.3 inch older Boox tablets, which run Android, and just write an Android app for them to do whatever you want them to do.
