It’s time horizons too. The time horizon of creating the next great thing can be 3-5 years. An office politician can spend a lot of time grabbing value rather than creating it in that time span. This is one reason to be suspicious of senior folks who job hop too much.
Indeed. I am absolutely sure their design process went: Mix a bunch of different stuff, teste it. Feed results of teste evaluation into computer, train ML model to accurately pick out the mixture which was rated highest in evaluation for that sweet sweet ml pr-boost effect.

If that's not the case then I am extremely curious for them to release an actual tech run through of how ML contributed to their process.
This situation won't change until these companies are legally required to change, or until they have an economic incentive to do so. If even people like yourself who are interested in rooting don't bother to research the issue before making a purchasing decision, I don't have high hopes for the economic path. So the question is whether there is a sufficiently interested political constituency to get a law passed.
This is a more important point than those of us talking about working offline.

What percentage of pc unit sales do Mac's make up? Anybody seriously see that market share growing because of M1? Mac's have a lot of baggage to overcome, not saying they can't but by both amd and Intel are not work shy lightweights and many of the advantages of the M1 do not translate to the expandable platforms the pc world expects.

It all comes down to configuration/choice. Its not bad to have OSCP to improve security, but there should be a simple way to turn it off (without those /etc/hosts or similar hacks).
I find two things to disagree with in this article. First is the premise that equally high compensation is offered elsewhere in each industry. I don't know about finance or consulting, but at least for FAANG it doesn't seem to be true. Second is the overlooked explanation that it's headroom - not prestige - that accounts for the difference.

I'll provide an example that illustrates both points: me. When I went from Red Hat to Facebook, my already-pretty-good total compensation jumped by almost 50% - more considering how each company's stock performed during the relevant vesting periods. I'm pretty sure there were others around me who had been promoted from fresh-out to my nominal level in a quarter to a half the time it had taken me to build my career. Some of them were quite likely making even more than me despite their narrow experience and resulting unsuitability for the same role anywhere else (a topic for another time).

If my salary curve was a race car, theirs was a rocket ship. The FAANG compensation premium to start fresh out of college might be smaller, but the potential growth over the next several years is much greater than elsewhere in tech ... and yes, recruiters do use that as a lure. Given the uncertainty (and compensation inequity) at startups, working at a FAANG is the most likely route to early wealth for most techies.

Of course, you can also get rich early if you get to put FAANG on your resume and parlay that into an early-employee job at a startup that later hits it big. That's prestige at work but, looking at the attrition/retention rates at FAANG, it seems to be the less common route and therefore I'd guess it's the less common motive.
It brings a fan, which makes a huge difference if you have sustained loads. It also has a larger battery than the Air. Basically, it is the Air for those who need more sustained compute power. The 4 port version will certainly be much more capable, but also more expensive.

I can’t believe anyone is in favor of censorship in the first place. Maybe they just need to experience the harsh reality of rule by majority opinion or mob rule. Reddit is the perfect example. I can’t tell you how many times a top up voted thread or comment is 100% false. The experts aren’t the ones voting is the problem so who gets to the top is only the one most persuasive or with a comment that already agrees with expectations. This is exactly how things work with politics or news as well. I can’t tell you how many news articles I’ve read that make extremely basic mistakes and assumptions because the person writing the article has no experience in that field.

If you have a supported device, LineageOS is great. But so far the ecosystem for non-Google apps stores is tiny. They exist in certain niches (most notably F-Droid for open source), but not using Google's Play store at all is a major downgrade of your experience.
I mean the contact details specified at the registrar and returned over the WHOIS protocol. Depending on the nature of a conflict the entity returned by the WHOIS requests might be considered the owner of the domain.

Unfortunate phrasing on my side:) Actually there exist scammers reaching out to well known mailbox names and requesting a fee for an entry in "WHOIS database".
I think most people did ok. Enron had a lot of really smart people. Morally bankrupt, but very smart. No different than any of these big tech companies. People like money, smart people will be attracted to it. Companies like smart people so I don't think they will have a hard time getting another job.
That approach -- sending the schema with the message and having the receiving end use it to reconcile version skew -- seems extremely expensive.

For it to be a win in terms of message size, the message has to be pretty large, or the schemas have to be negotiated at the start of a session that lasts a while. Maybe it would be a win for some use cases, but there's certainly plenty of use cases where the schema would end up much larger than the actual payload.

The bigger problem, though, is complexity. Code at the receiving end has to parse the schema, diff it against its own expectations, build the proper tables to translate the message content to the desired version, and then apply that.

I admit I haven't actually tried building something like this nor have I looked much at Avro's implementation, but this all sounds really slow and error-prone to me.

> Instead, a technical resume’s primary purpose is to generate interview requests for you. It’s where you make the case to “please pick me out of the pile.

Yes. A resume's primary purpose is to win favor for an interview. But! Not all suitors and opportunities are equal. That is, the goal isn't simply interviews, but interviews with the right organizations, with the right culture, that have the best potential for an LTR.
So, this was based on a press release for a presentation made yesterday: https://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/?&_ga=2.241603266.199222... .

They did a meta analysis (summarizing many, many studies) focusing on chili peppers and mortality, and reported the results. What’s interesting in the graphic in the link provided is that the correlation is present in basically every study shown. It’s very strong evidence for a correlation. On the other hand it’s very hard to explain causality without bringing out general terms like “antioxidants” or, possibly much more likely, confounding variables. It would be helpful to look at confounding variables, but those aren’t available yetis the study is not public. Simply put, it’s an interesting presentation but you can’t draw much useful inference without actually seeing the content of the presentation. That and their study has not meant the rigors of a peer-reviewed article yet.
Pardon me but I'd consider semiconductors experts different from computer geeks. Seems like I'm wrong.
Imagine something that could run on the latest Macbook Pro and a Mac Classic II.
The world would lose its greatest memelord.
Phone chips are hard not least, or especially, the telecom part. I'm thinking that some companies underestimate the effort.

Broadcom also tried and also failed. They came in cocky because they had succeeded in making Wifi chips with a 10-20 people team so thought that 500-ish people was more than enough for cellular even if Qualcomm had 4x that...

I would not be surprised if Intel fell into the same trap.
Between all the buzzwords and Intel hate, what is the technical tldr of Intel's position? I understand they are about 1.5 gen behind TSMC, they should be at 7nm which will compare with TSMC 5nm. Also ARM is currently more power efficient. Any other fundamental difference between AMD/Apple/Intel arch.

If magically Intel 7nm gives awesome yield next year, will they be able to catch up with a bigger caches and Big.small arch. Will they need lot more help from Windows / Linux to achieve performance gain in lockstep like Apple does by controlling both OS and processor?

Yeah, it’s essentially just estimating the probability of you getting an emergency which coincides with a total market collapse so horrific it reduces your semi-liquid net worth to less than your emergency. I’m at a point where I’m ok with that risk. At some point you would be too: 85%? 90%? 99%? Clearly we agree Jeff Bezos doesn’t need 6 months cash on hand at all times. So the limit is somewhere. I think a total market collapse reducing the Dow Jones to like 3,000 is pretty unthinkable at this point. Or rather, if it did happen, there are bigger problems than my cash, like the zombie apocalypse which caused this horrific stock market collapse.
Thanks, I've experimented with that in the past.

In my case I actually do use all the icons. ;) I do a lot of audiovisual work so they're utilities for setting color temperature, webcam settings, CPU usage, and the like, along with my VPN and file sync.

The new Control Center at least makes it possible to free up the space previously used by the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth icons though.

While I believe cops could suppress reporting of a wide variety of crimes, I find it a bit difficult to believe they could do much to suppress reporting of violent gun crimes. When people show up at hospitals with bullet holes, certainly that triggers the creation of a paper trail no matter how badly the cops want to ignore it.
Legislation and regulation.
Interestingly, the same is true for mammals.

Mammalian cells have contingencies to maintain the growth/accuracy balance, but sometimes the accelerator is hit so hard that it blows through the checks and balances and becomes a tumour. The further the checks and balances are corrupted, the more likely that organism is likely to become a malignant cancer.
The scarcity of land makes it different, but not a weak analogy.
> Intel's been stuck on the same process for half a decade now.

Even worse - the same architecture as well, which is why they have to backport their 10nm Ice Lake architecture to 14nm to even get anywhere.
Yeah this point is being continually missed - having better performance doesn't mean much if you are limited in what you can do by the OS, the ecosystem and the hardware. As it is you can't run another OS or attach external or PCIe GPUs to anything Apple Silicon. So if macOS continues the downward trajectory or if someone else comes up with a better GPU you're stuck unlike with a PC.

Even the first generation of Zen was not the low end. The low end of x86 is well below anything whose name starts with 'Core' or 'Ryzen'.

Ryzen came in the door at #2 in a market that goes well beyond #10.

The motherboard conventions aren't simpler, just longer supported.

AMD is doing impressive work with Ryzen, don't get me wrong, but they've already been #1 in x86 performance before, in the mid-aughts. Before and after that, their flagships were #2 in x86.
Anecdotally, nightshade[1] sensitivity seems to be common among people with autoimmune disease and nightshades are one of the anti-recommended foods on the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol, so I think this hypothesis carries some weight.

How's the email deliverability from your own email server? Or what do you use to send the emails?
That's more dependent on a firm's monopoly power than scale or wealth.

If you're in a competitive market you're forced to innovate.

If you're a monopolist you can just sit there and extract wealth. Which Intel was for a while.

By the way, your little theory has support and a name, it's the resource curse in political economics.
I just signed up, it immediately was useless because even though I allowed it full access to my contacts it couldn't tell me if anyone was on Matrix. Then I tried adding a friend, and it only let me add them by email, not by phone number, so that fully disqualifies the app as a phone messenger application.

What good is a phone messenger app if I can't send someone a message on their phone number?

Signal just works, I use it as my day to day sms app, and it shows me who of my friends also have signal so I text them on messenger if they do, and WhatsApp if they don't.

So the real reason is Matrix just isn't even trying to compete with signal or WhatsApp, it's competing with MSN Messenger, which everyone stopped using over 15 years ago.
If you feel it'll help you standout and gwt an interview then it's worth trying.
But I don't want to turn it off. I want to benefit from checking the revocation list without sending my data to Apple on every app start, even if I am vulnerable for a few hours, until my computer syncs the revocation list. I want a middle way, not an ON or OFF button.
I believe my point is that the M1 seems to spend its gate budget where it really helps performance of software in practice, while x86 vendors are spending it somewhere else.

AMD in particular wasted an entire generation of Zen by having too few BTB entries. Zen1 performance on real software (i.e. not SPEC) was tragic, similar to Barcelona on a per-clock comparison. They learned this lesson and dramatically increased BTB entries on Zen2 and again for Zen3. But the question in my mind is why would you save a few pennies per million units by shaving off half the BTB entries? Doesn't make sense. They must have been guided by the wrong benchmark software.
Yes, I was going by memory, which thought “out of order buffer” was a thing. I meant ROB. Point still stands, in that scaling these blocks is very difficult with variable instruction size.

> who was complaining that Travis had lowered the amount of money he was earning after the employee had taken out a huge car loan.

Buying a new car was not Uber's decision and he doesn't have to drive for Uber, he can drive for other companies with that same car and even during the same hours.

He can set his own price, and Uber can say no, that's too high, find someone else to sell your service to.
The problem with prestige is that you, yourself, may not care about it, but those around it still do and still use it for social signaling. That affects the rationality of the decisions you make around your career in serious ways.

I think one of the problems around targeting prestige vs. targeting excellence is that we know what it takes to do something prestigious, but excellence is hard to define, and generally comes with much higher risk. Landing a fancy job at Facebook or Google means you tick the box on success without much risk. The criteria that defines success when you start a company, for instance, or work at a non-profit, is much less clear. That compounds the material risk of doing these ventures with a social risk of taking these jobs in the first place. So then what would would it take, in American society, to replace the prestige baiting with an emphasis on achieving actual excellence instead?
If the model changes, a new view is generated, so your message should take that into account.

I can't remember of any concurrency issue arising from handling multiple messages from the view, to be honest. I don't know if there's a specific mechanism blocking them, but it's simply never happened in 3 years of building elm apps for a living.
You don't develop empathy - some people have it, some people not so much.

We need both, unless we want other countries to come by and explain to us that their un-empathetic people with guns will now be telling us how to live our lives.

It's not ability to empathize that's poor online - it's motivation to empathize that's absent.

I'd really rather not deal with temper tantrums ever, but if someone throws one and I'm alone with them in a room, I have to deal with it because it could escalate to an even bigger nuisance. If I'm alone with them in an internet chatroom and they can't affect my everyday life, I can express how I really feel - I don't want to deal with your bullshit.
No code guide: telegram bot for daily stand ups without code on integromat
Some of this is "yes, I wish people understood that" to me, like:

"It’s to make it as clear as possible which types of problems you’ve solved in the past, and how well you solved them." This is all I care about. I want to see the complexity of what you've handled.

"As a result, their bullet points are full of sentences that begin “Responsible for” or “Worked on” or “Assigned to.”" These phrases have always struck me as meaning "I sat in the same building while these things were going on."

But when the author suggests using numbers, those strike me as bs. I assume that success in moving numbers depends on what the starting point is. I'm sure I could walk into the typical high growth startup and find tons of places where I could get a 10x performance improvement, because they've been focused on other things. Is reducing AWS cost by 17% (from a low baseline) better than doubling AWS cost and allowing the team to make better decisions because the data is normalized and easily searchable?
> "Two decades of requisite grunt work will also encourage your best junior talent to seek out start-up opportunities."

For silicon and hardware in general, the job market is much, much smaller, making that decision significantly more difficult.
I imagine that if there are large transaction costs on moving money out of your main investment, a short term load would make sense.

I am personally too risk adverse to go taking loans all the time. But I can imagine it being a good option.
They are probably all paying QCOM they own a lot of the radio patents.
Maybe this is a bit of a side topic, and I'm a layman, but I'm interested to know why the M1 chip is able to perform so surprisingly better? And why Intel or others can't just come up with a similar design, if it's clear from the specs/die images what's being done?

Is it years of work to figure out the placement of CPU/GPU/memory units on the die, routings, and come up with new instruction sets? I imagine this wasn't new physics, Apple was just using contract fabs, right?

What's the secret sauce that let them pull this off, and fend off others?

Edit, oh, this is somewhat answered below in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25093313
I find it surprising that people still consider FAANG prestigious, given that these companies collectively have probably 1-200,000 engineers in their employ. Even if they managed to perfectly select for the cream of the crop (they don't), that still has to be like 10-20% of all programmers/engineers in the US. Being top 20% isn't that impressive, and in reality they're probably mostly hiring from the top 30-40%.
> I make music, and I have to say, the jump to 64 bit and the jump to macOS 11 have been pretty damaging to my workflow in the short term. My DAW, my drivers, and my plugins are all written by different developers and they all need to update for me to get fully back to work (In fairness, I made the mistake of upgrading eagerly to macOS 11, which is on me).

Apple doesn't care because they'll still get their $99/year from developers and their App Store is almost infinitely profitable.

Holy christ man. You are right, let google just show government sites. Big Brother knows best.
One thing that slightly bothers me is how Matrix is so high up the network level :

> The Matrix standard specifies RESTful HTTP APIs for securely transmitting and replicating JSON data between Matrix-capable clients, servers and services.

It seems like a waste to try to push everything through HTTP, just because it's not being blocked (yet) by firewalls that software users might have no control over.

Especially when overwhelming IPv6 adoption seems to be finally just around the corner (with Europe having ran out of IPv4 addresses, and a lot of people, especially in Asia, never having had one in the first place), IPv6 which has a quite different approach to security than IPv4.

But of course "just around the corner" is also "not really here yet"...
