The idea is that firing Son would also signal that all of the assets need to be revalued immediately.

The difference between the on-paper value and the real value of these assets is so vast that everyone involved is in a Mexican standoff.

They're all hoping that if nobody blinks, the economy will get better and their investments might actually become good unicorn bets.

It's a similar reason to why properties can stay vacant with no tenants for years and years and years. I'm almost convinced that we need a law that forces unproductive assets to turn into write-downs after some window of time.
Yes, no argument there. Growing projects is plain hard, no matter what language/framework you use. People talk so much about stack choices as if that's where the problem/solution lies. It's more about building effective teams, respecting seniority, not churning out your employees, having good product people (e.g knowing what to build). That's way more important to most businesses than the endless chat about graphql/react/rails/node/php.
But as techies, we tend to view every problem as a technical problem that can be solved by throwing more graphql at it...
How Long Does It Take to Develop a Mobile App
I guess the advantage is that you can send this before you know the status code of the response? For example if you know what CSS+JS file the client will need but still need to generate the page which may 500, 404 or 302.

Nightclubs are expensive, man! Tinder looks dirt-cheap in comparison, lol.

But yeah, I have to say I’ve been tempted to try “the old-fashioned way”. I just fear the conditioning we get from Hollywood - anybody alone in any social setting must “obviously” be a serial killer or weirdo.
Does anyone know if GeekBench also tests thermal throttling? Would you be able to get the same results sustainably over a longer period, or even 3 or 4 GeekBench testruns back to back?
The author states their intent at the bottom

> Author's note: Some people have read this blog as my utopia or dream of the future. It is not. It is a scenario showing where we could be heading - for better and for worse. I wrote this piece to start a discussion about some of the pros and cons of the current technological development. When we are dealing with the future, it is not enough to work with reports. We should start discussions in many new ways. This is the intention with this piece.
This is critical. As long as we operate in a highly competitive climate, private ownership and rights associated with it become a necessity. Ownership not only legally guarantees your rights but denies others rights (your competition).

Even with a well optimized sharing economy inside a highly competitive environment, you'll look for ways to break the optimization process favorable to yourself. If everything schedules at my whim I'll be sure and use the most scarce and difficult to obtain resources to lock them down and trade that time to others for something else I want. Short of living in a post scarcity economy, it would never be feasible.
26 years ago... How common was this sentiment back then? How many had serious faith in the neural network approach, or at least were very excited about its potential?

Also, what are some current technologies and ideas that are unpopular but which have some dedicated fans who insist there's major untapped potential (even if maybe it can't be fully tapped into today)? Specifically, little-known things rather than pretty popular stuff like quantum computing.
And I’ve been getting Rust to work on Apple Silicon. It’s only tier 2 for now, but that’s mostly because there are no CI providers so we can’t automatically run tests for it. I’ve been running them by hand.

>It's the polar opposite of the outrageously inefficient model where everything you use, you own, and for 99.9% of the time, the thing just sits there depreciating or taking up space.

Truly amazing how it's apparently inefficient for ordinary working people to own things that we actually use and enjoy sometimes, but it's perfectly efficient for the investor class to own the fruit of our labors.

Honestly, a complete reversal of any real notion of efficiency.

I don't actually consider that a problem, in fact, it's a feature and not a bug.

You should assume your every interaction within the world is logged, your every tap, click, spoken and unspoken words. And act in accordance, there can a camera watching you, or a mic picking up your bigoted rant.

You can (I love miley cyrus) add fake data to your posts, misdirect AI tools, and throw them off the scent if you wish. You give them the information you want to (you should probably use your own router, DNS, VPN, other tools). Dinosaurs are awesome.

They can only store the data you're generating. Don't generate it? No data to access.

What about the database? All these Jamstack articles always seem to skip past a db in their examples and I have never seen an "app" without an associated database.

Growing wealth is a simple formula: [amount spent] < [amount earned]. Rinse and repeat for a given length of time, and you will have more wealth than you started with.
> Do people read this and think that is the sort of life they would want in the future?

Mostly, yes.

Most items people own seem like clutter to me. I would much rather own the absolute minimum and then get anything else as I need it, rather than have to own a lot of stuff.

More stuff = more problems.
I feel like the demand for desktop versions of simple phone games is pretty low.

Most of them are valid on iOS as well, however if you go to Settings > Google Maps > Location and pick “While Using the App”, Google will only be able to track your location while you have the application open, so they can’t track everywhere you go as described in #3.
> Do people read this and think that is the sort of life they would want in the future?

I think the author purposefully avoided saying anyone that.

But the part of the story that stood out to me viscerally was the neglect of maintenance crews and the design work, etc and how that plays into a status hierarchy. It is the same frustrating arrogance I sometimes see in city dwellers who just don't understand how many people are physically labouring to to maintain the artificial environment of a large city.

A handwave and "robots will do all that stuff by 2030" is too fantastic to stomach.
The only reason I'm not hopping on board the don't-own-stuff train is because the cynic in me believes this is all a ruse by the elite class to further own all productive capital and to render the lower classes even more subservient and dependent on their good graces.

If the "1%", so to speak, gave up all their yachts and patents, and ownership of ride-hailing services and farming were fully socialized, then maybe I'd get on board.

Until then, I'll believe that this is the wealthy trying to milk even more freedom from us.
The other comments show this is not obvious to everyone.
Did you ever wonder about the discrepancy in tech that occurred at that time the first iPhone appeared? We were all using desktops or fairly clunky laptops. Then, out of nowhere, we have touchscreens, cameras, maps, etc AND the power of a desktop machine, in a device that's 1/20th the size! It was such a staggering leap! I think phones were technology that was so far ahead of what we were prepared for, we had no means of defence.

With regards to the aims of Apple, Google et al - yes I think they wanted to spy on us from the start. It has always been about better governance of the masses. Corporation owners think they own us - everything we are provided with is only done with a view for them to apply greater governance of us. Historically, it would have been expedient to use stories (religions) to do this, then debt, and now technology.

Bringing us to the present, if you ask me, the virus we are apparently experiencing, is just a pretext. It is just another story, that leverages us into a technocracy. They want to boot up a technocratic system that we will all live in from cradle to grave, unaware and unable to do anything about our circumstances. This has been planned since the 1930's - IBM shared work space with Technocracy Inc as it was known then.

We are spending our time online, shopping online, isolated, dependent on corporations for the news, our food, intermediating our experiences, etc. We are sold on the future, Elon's neural lace, augmented reality, smart metering/cities, etc. I'm not joking when I say it seems to me that these plans are so progressed, and everyone is so on board, that the human experiment must surely come to an end soon. It will be a great reset, but we're not going to like it.

Roam takes a while to startup. Once up, it's quite fast to switch between pages. A bit like an IDE. It's still browser based I think, and there are no native apps for Android and iOS. So I feel constrained when I'm not at the desktop.

Notion mobile apps are quite good, so I never have to tell myself I'll do something when I go to my desktop.
Different tests. Different purposes.

GB deliberately avoids running up the heat because it is focused on testing the chip, not the machine's cooling ability.

Cinebench, as you say, tests "real-world" conditions, meaning the entire machine, not just the chip.
> Why would we not use those finely honed biases of ours and all the knowledge we've collected to kickstart a new form of intelligence?

Because priors are hard to embed in a model. For example, CNNs are great for translation invariance, but rotation and scaling don't come out of the box. Why don't they simply add the rotation invariance to the model? Because it's hard to express.

Also, human priors are limited. If AlphaGo was to be limited to human priors it would never have surpassed us.

The best approach so far is to make a network as free from priors as possible (like the transformers) and let it learn from the data, in essence let it rediscover the convolution or other efficient operations from mountains of data.

To the extent that games are made available for MacOS/ARM in the first place (admittedly a sticking point), it looks like these machines will be able to play most of them reasonably well. Certainly much better than most of Apples previous machines with integrated graphics or low end discrete GPUs.
My biggest problem with it is it's basically a new JS-like language written on top of JS. You just don't write idiomatic JS (or even TS) in Angular.

In templates is the biggest example - where you can use some JS constructs but not others, and have to learn a new set of directives instead of using if/for/while etc.

But also things like modules being an empty class that's only there so you have somewhere to put your annotations.

Not to mention needing to bundle a compiler, unless you use AOC, and the debugging is a nightmare (or at least used to be, I don't know if they've fixed it recently.) When your stacktrace is full of zone.js calls that are doing weird things because they monkey-patched Promise, you get the feeling that it's just not Javascript.

Some might say that JSX in React is similarly not JS. I respectfully disagree. The syntactic sugar is so light you could easily translate it yourself, by hand. Try doing that with Angular code!

And the trouble is that, as a new language that you have to learn, it is significantly inferior to JS/TS. So yes, give me React any day, where I can use real Javascript and not have to feel like the framework is fighting the language it's written in.
With current E Ink technology no. Even if it was technically feasible (not sure about that), nobody is focusing on high refresh rates. Increasing refresh increases battery consumption and that means you're taking away one of the key benefits of EPD.

We tested 8fps video on our devices a while back and in the end you're getting a B&W display with 8 FPS updates... Why wouldn't you go for something like LCD or OLED instead? I don't believe you can beat LCD at being LCD.

There are other technolgies that promise fast update times, that offer similar characteristics (look into ClearInk), but they are nowhere near where E Ink is in terms of maturity.
SPEC, on the other hand, takes hours to run.

Of course the iPhone chip isn't as beefy as the M1, but the results still speak for themselves.

Show HN: Switch Git Users CLI
It’s been a hot minute since I wrote any C# (pre .NET Core). I kicked the tires yesterday. I have to say, documentation is all over the map, and the old DI / enterprisey boilerplate is still alive and well. Coming from a Node + TypeScript, Ruby, and Go world, C# still feels like a lot of ceremony. So, I gave F# a spin again. It’s always had a special place in my heart. But while the language is fantastic, the tooling (on OS X) and documentation made it difficult to get off the ground.

So, what’s the best-organized resource for getting up to speed on .NET these days?

Has an interesting comparison of an iPhone 12 mini doing similar work to an i9 iMac

Now I haven't dug into the details to verify both produced the same results. I believe most of the difference is from software encoding versus hardware encoding. the follow up tweets suggest similar output.

it does show how workloads can cause people to jump to conclusions on simply one test and not having all the details to support the conclusion they desire to arrive at

I think you express the precise reason why I prefer markup formats like Markdown, ReDoc, and LaTeX. I get to write markup which completely eliminates the need to click around menus and buttons or do app-specific keyboard shortcuts for formatting.

Rich wysiwyg editors also seems to have issues where the visible editing and internal formatting state breaks or behaves in weird ways. Like when you insert links and it automatically formats it as a link in some cases, and not in others.

Edit: Personally I always though the split view was okay as long as the compile times weren't too bad. Having a markup editor and then a view of the result is what I do for coding, so why not when writing stuff as well.
As an aside, I really want to know how much grease has been paid to get tech/investment journalists to write positive stories about WeWork during Coronavirus lockdowns.

It was a nuclear disaster before the lockdowns. Corporate real estate is about to see a biblical correction and lease terms are about to become the friendliest they've ever been. I keep seeing one positive article about their prospects after another and yet I can't find anyone rational who agrees with any of it.
The biggest promoter of face recognition tech right now is Apple. The created the trend and made the sensors cheap. They should be campaigning to them first.
I’m definitely going to try this out ASAP. I often use various hacks to save pages as revisiting pages 6-12months later when I need it again the content has changed or is simply missing. If this can help me maintain my own mini “Internet Archive”, I’ll be very happy and will gladly do what I can to support your efforts.
For the Hammer, Bicycle Pump, and other "Tool" type of things the "Tool Library" concept seems to work really well.

It's like a "Book Library", (eg centralised local place for storage and co-ordination) but for tools. There's one here in Melbourne (Australia) with about 400 members, and over 1000 tools:

* https://www.brunswicktoollibrary.org

* https://brunswicktoollibrary.myturn.com/library/inventory/br...

They have power tools (~200), hand tools (~600), garden tools (~200), automotive stuff, electrical/soldering gear, etc.

And they have occasional um... workshops (or something similar) teaching people how to repair things. eg:

* Bike repair (Sep 2020) - https://www.facebook.com/events/728114278044351/

* General repair (Feb 2020) https://www.facebook.com/events/613979845834779/

Seems to work really well, at least in this case. :)
My classmate wrote back-propagating neural nets on his Amiga 1200 in 1994.

We had pretty high hopes back then. I and I think many others sort of assumed we would have had General AI by now. Or at least going in that direction. Another classmate said in 1992 that scientists had simulated the neural net equivalent to a worm or something. This topic came up re the neural net featured in the movie Terminator 2.

The current use of "neural nets" are both under- and overwhelming. But definitely over-whelmingly boring, to me. It's good, don't get me wrong. But from my viewpoint, it looks like we have found a trick, and now try to apply this same trick to as many new fields as possible.
This is a really weird system you have devised.

You are making a custom request to ask the server to push something to the browser.

Browser: POST /preload?url=/next-page
Server: PUSH /next-page

Just cut out the middleman and make a regular request.

Browser: GET /next-page

Even better use browser preloading mechanisms so that the browser knows how to best prioritize them. In fact if you do it this way the browser can even start downloading subresources and prerendering the page.
Me too! I used to frequent their Matrix room a year or so ago and it was a very nice place. Very refreshing to find a tech community that made me feel like I could say what I wanted without being interjected by STEM and debate lords.

Unfortunately life drove me away from the project, especially now that I work remote and barely leave my home, but every now and then I feel like contributing again just because of how nice everyone is.
This is very interesting and in line with Apple's claims. I am looking forward to some real world numbers for different tasks in the next few weeks and months as native apps become available.

Jonathan Morrison posted a video [0] comparing a 10-core Intel i9 2020 5K iMac with 64GB RAM against an iPhone 12 Mini for 10-bit H.265 HDR video exporting and the iPhone destroyed the iMac exporting the same video, to allegedly the same quality, in ~14 seconds on the iPhone vs 2 minutes on the iMac! And the phone was at ~20% battery without an external power source. Like that is some voodoo and I want to see a lot of real world data but it is pretty damn exciting.

Now whether these extreme speed ups are limited to very specific tasks (such as H.265 acceleration) or are truly general purpose remains to be seen.

If they can be general purpose with some platform specific optimisations that is still freakin' amazing and could easily be a game changer for many types of work providing there is investment into optimising the tools to best utilise Apple Silicon.

Imagine an Apple Silicon specific version of Apple's LLVM/Clang that has 5x or 10x C++ compilation speed up over Intel if there is a way to optimise to similar gains they have been able to get for H.265.

Some very interesting things come to mind and that is before we even get to the supposed battery life benefits as well. Having a laptop that runs faster than my 200+W desktop while getting 15+ hours on battery sounds insane, and perhaps it is, but this is the most excited I have been for general purpose computer performance gains in about a decade.

Edit:

A lot of people seem to just be picking up on my H.265 example which is fine but that was just an example for one type of work.

As this article shows the overall single-core and multi-core speeds are the real story, not just H.265 video encoding. If these numbers hold true in the real world and not just a screenshot of some benchmark numbers that is something special imho.
Angular team member here.

Strict type checking is often reported as confusing for folks getting started with Angular and web development. That's why by default our type checking is not the strictest we support.

To make sure advanced developers have better compile-time type checking and editor support, we introduced strict mode. When you create a new workspace the CLI asks you if you want to get it enabled.

In the future, incrementally, we'll be enabling strict settings for everyone.

To be fair, lineage+microg is probably the best you can get while still keeping a reasonable level of convenience (that is, still running android and most popular apps).
All your services are written independently as microservices. In fact Micro is itself a microservices architecture and each feature is an independent service backed by highly available managed infrastructure.

Yes we expect you to write everything in Go. I don't think that should be surprising since all of frontend is JavaScript, iOS is objective C and Android is Java. We think cloud is as complex Architecture as any of those and that requires a single language and framework for it.
