You propositioned a scenario where regional countries can contain China without US.

>Even if China can win head to head against the US there is no way it can compete with that alliance

I am alleging they cannot without USN, with specific reference that USN is the only thing keeping China from rolling over the region. Also why would NATO try to contain China? A in NATO is Atlantic, which Ocean is China on? There is a lot of unsubstantiated wank of random global coalition forming blocs to contain China, but very little evidence such a coalition will form apart from QUAD, especially regionally as China integrates more with ASEAN year after year.

The second point is India is bad actor when it comes to settling border disputes. If you evaluate Indian border settlement history with her neighbors. It's not isolated to China. India doesn't agree because it's difficult for democracies to settle borders which often requires compromise, but such compromises require ceding land. Ceding ANY land is political suicide, especially in democracy. India is simply incapable of being a good actor on border issues, as seen in her settlement history. Unlike CCP China, who has settled 12/14 inherited land disputes, majority with larger concessions, because an authoritarian government has enough control over people to cede land. Which brings back to India right now, China see's in Modi someone with sufficiently strong cult following and authoritarian power to get border ratifications done, because it's now or never.

>But the annoying thing about American federalism is that we like to do things 50 different ways

This was how the system was originally designed to work, as specified in the 10th amendment. This is also how the European Union works - a federation of independent states.

That's much better then everyone getting stuck with a federal one-size-fits-all solution that is sub-optimal (or corrupted), which does happen sometimes.

Different states can try different things, and copy what works amongst each other. Once enough states agree on an optimal solution an amendment can be passed forcing any lagging states to the new solution. This could apply to things like civil rights, health care, etc.

For example, before Obama-Care we already had states trying things - Romney-care in Massachusetts guaranteed coverage to all, Vermont was ready to implement a public plan that they had to cancel, NY and California also had significant reforms in the works, etc. Most assuredly the best solutions would have risen to the top and have been copied. But now that can't happen, because for better or worse we are stuck with a contentious law that was passed and is not easy to change. Perhaps the big insurance companies were afraid there profit margins would be reduced, so they negotiated a good deal for themselves with congress? (they get subsidized premiums from the government, and the public gets to pay the deductibles, without the ability to shop, company plans reducing individual choice, etc)

I don't believe it was the intention of our system to allow drastic changes by transitory slim majorities at the federal level. It seems that everyone with an axe to grind would like a federal law (or better yet a Supreme Court case) to force their opinion on the entire country, and that is not right. Our government is an outgrowth of our culture. Tweaks to the system are not going to change what people believe in.
> I sometimes wonder what the overhead of Docker costs on a Mac.

I wouldn't use Docker on a Mac. The fan goes like crazy the whole time, and the battery life is like an hour or less. Whereas with vagrant and virtualbox the fan stays off and the battery lasts all day.
I'm with you. My work computer has the TouchBar, and my personal computer has the physical keys.

While I prefer the physical keys, once you get the TouchBar configured properly (I use MTMR), it's really quite nice. Combined with a physical escape key, it would be ideal.

Considering how the people on HN boast so much about being L337 Haxxorz, I'm surprised they don't see the value in a secondary interactive screen that they can make do anything they want.

Same here. I can't stand macOS, the interface is terrible and it's an awful development environment.

But the iPad is an excellent companion, since I use that to scrible around, consume media, photo editing, keep my music sheets, and all that stuff that would suck on Linux.
>This is the effect of focusing first on efficiency, not raw power. Intel and AMD never did this; its why they lost horribly in mobile.

If you want a more efficient processor you can just reduce the frequency. You can't do that in the other direction. If your processor wasn't designed for 4Ghz+ then you can't clock it that high, so the real challenge is making the highest clocked CPU. AMD and Intel care a lot about efficiency and they use efficiency improvements to increase clock speeds and add more cores just like everyone else. What you are talking about is like semiconductor 101. It's so obvious nobody has to talk about it. If you think this is a competitive edge then you should read up more about this industry.

>Their bread and butter is desktops and servers, where it doesn't matter.

Efficiency matters a lot in the server and desktop market. Higher efficiency means more cores and a higher frequency.

>But, long term, it does; higher efficiency means you can pack more transistors into the same die without melting them.

No shit? Semiconductor 101??

>And its far easier to scale a 10 watt chip up to use 50 watts than it is to do the opposite.

You mean... like those 64 core EPYC server processors that AMD has been producing for years...? Aren't you lacking a little in imagination?

>The three-strikes law is pure abomination

Why? I don't have a well-formed opinion on this type of policy but there is a balance between prioritizing justice for victims and rights of victimizers. Behind every single strike are innocent people who have been hurt by the individual and at some point, you have to take steps to protect them from someone who just doesn't want to stop.

You also can't take away all agency from that individual. Those strikes are collected through many years and multiple prison sentences - at that point, it's a decision to continue.

AMD's Smart Memory Access would like to have a word. I'd note that in unoptimized games, they're projecting a 5% performance boost between their stock overclock and SMA (rumors put the overclock at only around 1%).

Your resume is actually fairly good, compared to many other resumes. However, it could still be stronger.

Most importantly, you could make your resume more accomplishment-oriented. You should take each job and ask yourself, "What are my 3-5 biggest accomplishments?” These should form the bullets of your resume.

As much as possible, quantify your accomplishments. How much money did you make for your company? How much time did you save your team? By how much did you improve customer retention? An estimation is okay here.
> it is clear they just should be abolished

It's substantially more noticeable in swing states because they're swing states and by definition divided roughly 50/50 on partisan lines (really usually 30/30/30[undecided/independent], but the latter varies from place to place). If a state is more heavily tilted one way than the other, the day-of vote is more likely to be just as representative of that tilt as the mail-in vote, especially if you stop paying attention when the state gets called (which was as soon as polls closed for many of the states whose tendencies were more obvious). To add, urban areas have been more heavily hit by covid (so are more likely to vote by mail) and even the in-person vote count in cities takes longer to count. Even in 2016, IIRC Clinton started to (ultimately unsuccessfully) close the gap in MI and WI later at night as the vote counts from Detroit and Milwaukee trickled in.

That's ridiculously unfair and I'm sorry borderline abusive. If you guys are in a potentially precarious situation financially, then there is absolutely no justification why she should spend most of her earnings on entertainment whilst the bulk of your earnings go to necessities. Any excess earnings from you and her should go towards your family savings for future financial security, your children and retirement. Entertainment/hobbies should be put on the end of the list of things to use excess money on.

Please put your foot down and draw some boundaries (don't ask or beg). Be stern, and give her no choice but to spend her income on the family instead of selfish individual hobbies.

The Husband-and-Wife Team Behind the Leading Vaccine to Solve Covid-19
It occurs to me that as we become more and more connected globally the less there will be a need for the media. Hear me out: let’s take this to the limit of our ability to communicate. Let’s say that we develop a direct interface between the brain and the Internet via some sort of implantable chip. Any information you want to know becomes instantly knowable in your brain. Moreover, you can request info about certain topics a la a curated Twitter feed. If an earthquake happens in Japan or new Oscar nominees are announced, you know about it soon as you think about it or think about “I wonder what has been happening today?” And of course all the information is gathered in aggregators that automatically verify that multiple people did witness the particular event to verify authenticity.

Under these conditions it becomes unnecessary for someone to do the basic legwork of seeking out stories and curating them, no? Interpreting the stories of course does require someone’s time and energy, but for example there would be no need to go and investigate what is happening with the earthquake rescue because the first responders could effortlessly share their thoughts/experiences, the person in charge could instantly add their voice to the info stream telling everyone what the clean up/rescue plans are, etc. What role would a newspaper play in a setup like this?

Now, we aren’t there yet. We are not a hive mind and sharing what we are witnessing takes time and effort. A first responder isn’t going to stop and tweet about what’s going on. And the even bigger hurdle is consuming this much information. That problem hasn’t been solved yet. But we are closer to that than not: Twitter and Reddit allow regular people to share what they are seeing: earthquakes, protests, awards ceremonies, graduations. Curation will only get better. Whereas before only the select few had a voice because it was expensive, now almost anyone can broadcast to a huge swath of humanity.
I did a lot of development on a pixelbook. Things were mostly fine for development, but compiling took 2-3x as long due to throttling.

Our unit tests took around 30 minutes on a fast system though and were simply not worth running outside of the specific tests I was writing.
IMHO it’s misleading to compare the gross prices due to difference tax rates. JAlexoid’s comparison is a much more honest representation of how much Apple marks up prices in Europe. I wouldn’t expect Apple - or anyone - to eat the 10% sales tax/VAT difference.
I'm guessing but I bet that about 30-40% of his voters believe it.
By open platform I meant they they should release their own phone. I believe they could do it for not much more than the price of the lawsuit.

The iPhone is not even a general purpose computer, it's a brick of consumer electronics that just happens to have an app store on it. It's Apples house and they get to make the rules. If Epic doesn't like it they can build their own house, or they can contribute to a house that is free for everybody.

I see Valve contributing to an open house that is free for everybody just in case Microsoft stops inviting 3rd parties into their house.
I have been using Firejail for a few years now and absolutely love it. It is now a central part of my setup and workflows. Here are two features I use regularly:

- The "virtual home" specified with --private=/path/to/folder runs the app with the specified folder as a home folder. I use this for all the apps I sandbox to make sure my real home does not get polluted by tens of config files, cache, etc. Removing all traces of an app is now as easy as deleting /path/to/folder; I find this pretty neat to keep my home folder organized (each app gets its own home in ~/.sandboxes/<app name>).

- Starting an app with --private (without any argument) will run it into a temporary/disposable home folder which will be cleaned up when the app is stopped. I use it to run some apps I don't really trust and don't need persistence for (e.g. I start Chrome with this option so that I get a fresh home, hence profile, every time I need it, same for Zoom when I need to join a meeting---not very often).

And of course all the profiles that are built-in to customize the sandboxing to most popular apps is great!

I'm really thankful for the work being done on this project.
I've used Firejail for years and can definitely recommend it! It has a lot of nifty features, e.g. network namespacing via the --net argument.

The L2 cache on the M1 is the last level cache (LLC), where the 5950X has a 64MB L3 cache for LLC. Also I'm not sure we know yet how much of the chip is using that L2, it might be more than just the four high perf cores.

A closer comparison is probably Intel's 10900K which has a 20MB L3.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/192848/revenue-of-the-ne...

That's only for digital which is well expected to grow. They still have to catch up to their historical revenue.
Sure, but people with high perf laptops have high-perf cooling solutions. I'm an engineer/developer and a high end gamer. I have an Alienware laptop (in addition to a Macbook Pro), with an RTX 2070 in it. It never overheats. I take it traveling with me. The M1 has a fillrate 10x slower, and I highly doubt it's competitive on Compute Shader performance either. Even if my RTX laptop were thermally down clocked, it's still got plenty of headroom over the M1 GPU wise.

The only time I worry about heat is if I have to have the laptop in my lap.

On top of all this, AMD's 6nm Rembrandt coming out next year is likely to have a model in the 20W range, which is on par with the M1's "performance" mode, but with much greater GPU performance.

I think the epitaph being written for x86 is a little premature, maybe for Intel, but AMD just delivered 20% IPC improvement, and a huge gfx architecture improvement, with a scalable chiplet architecture going forward.

It would be unwise to count them out.
I don't understand what that has to do with power/performance ? Did you mean to reply to someone else ?
Or you underestimate the complexity of the situation and overestimate how a 200-hour Cessna pilot would have performed in that cockpit that night.
Sure, but you add the option to ignore the serialization, or options to reset the IDs as part of the firmware or OS. That way the machine owner can fix it after jumping through some security hoops, rather than requiring an authorized repair store.

Mostly because, its doubtful if state level actors (or even organized crime) aren't going to pay off an employee somewhere to lose the reprogramming device/etc. Meaning its only really secure against your average user.

Although very slowly, this list of companies providing good Linux-ready laptops is growing.

I do wish someone would dare ship something high-end non-amd64 (e.g.: ARM). Kinda like what we're seeing from Apple.
Yea, I can agree to that. Let's say then that we can't make determinations, but can tell when something is just definitely not true, like 90% of gun owners definitely do not support ending private sales.

>If you ask if a gun owner should give their guns to a trusted friend of family member for safekeeping if they feel depressed or suicidal, most people would also say that was a good idea. Of course they wouldn’t realize they had just criminalized it.

Man, whole separate topic right there! People not realizing what gun laws say vs mean is so common it seems like it's by design.
No, but fewer people would have. By contributing to it he's responsible for the entire outcome. It's similar to how two people can both be charged for one instance of murder.

Yeah, we’re all lying or flexing or whatever. OK, suit yourself.

It’s too bad people think this way, but as I said in an earlier comment, you’re not hurting anyone but yourself if you do. If building a $1k MRR business is so much more important to you then do it, go nuts.
Not necessarily.

It can be surprisingly cost-effective to invest a few $k in a hefty machine(s) with some high-end GPU's to train with due to the exceedingly hefty price of cloud GPU compute. The money invested up-front in the machine(s) pays itself off in (approximately) a couple of months.

The "neural" chips in these machines are for accelerating inference. I.e. you already have a trained model, you quantise and shrink it, export it to ONNX or whatever Apple's CoreML requires, ship it to the client, and then it runs extra-fast, with relatively small power draw on the client machine due to the dedicated/specialised hardware.

> Its networking api is minimal, and easy to use. It helps you negotiate your initial connection, and then gets out of your way, so you can spend your time thinking about the information coming through the pipe.

This doesn't mean anything at all if you've actually built a game before. You can do this with ENet alone, which means they haven't done anything for you.

> A more opinionated system might be faster to get up and going, but would likely get in your way for more complex projects.

There's effectively no difference in its multiplayer offering and a GitHub project with under 100 stars and a month's development work binding rendering APIs to a popular programming language. You literally have to do everything yourself.

> Much of godot's functionality is implemented in modules, which the engine can be optionally compiled without, and are easily added in by other developers.
On top of this, the engine has a plug-in ecosystem like Unity has, which allows functionality extension on a per-project basis.

None of this means anything at all. You're just saying people have to create their own work, but hey, since it's in a "module" that makes it good!

> Imo, this is a win. Developers don't have to work around, bypass, or ship with a clunky networking model that seemed like a good idea at the time, and Godot devs don't have to maintain the potentially sprawling implementation of a feature that could very well get in somebody's way.

Yeah you're right, and the end result is basically no one does multiplayer or does it well, because most people using Godot don't know what they're doing to begin with. It's easy to not get in somebody's way when you do nothing at all, isn't it?

> Wrt gdscript, it's something that existed in the engine before it was open-sourced, is tightly integrated into the engine's systems, and is easy to bind new code and methods to.

As far as I know, they spent Mozilla funds to continue developing it versus features actual game developers care about.

I don't really see a difference between what it offers in terms of meaningful features, and what someone experienced could throw themselves in 3-6 months time.
And that's the caveat. The black market still outweighs the legal market because it is difficult to purchase because of the difficulty in opening a legitimate dispensary, and it isn't reasonably priced with a 30% upcharge for taxes. right off the bat the illegal dispensary is 30% cheaper, and that makes a bigger difference in the MJ market where the base cost of the product is much higher than for a $16 bottle of liquor. Even with alcohol and tobacco it is very typical for people living near a state border to buy their product on the side with the more favorable taxes, routinely done even.
What advantage do you see to "secure hardware", I'm unaware of any recent Mac security issue that would have been prevented by it. It gives Apple a lot more control over the device but I don't see any advantage to the user.
