I completely agree. However, the accuracy of their predictions is independent of how their preparing for that risk. It’s often said to prepare food and water etc for short term disruptions, but having sufficient water is vastly more important than having sufficient food.
I like the idea of having some sort of easy-to-see marking. The specific realization in terms of a green hat might be non-optimal, because green hats have an unfortunate symbolism in Chinese culture.

A Ryzen 4800u actually uses up to 25W TDP, depending upon implementation.

And it’s 45% slower in single core.

Most importantly, the M1 is estimated to cost Apple $65, the 4800u is a $300+ part.

How much trouble would I get into if use the new Macbook Pro for software development(i.e. Python, Java, ReactJS)?
I believe it may have to do with the fact that Ableton is a performance tool first and foremost. It would follow that all design decisions stem from that requirement. Yes it is a full-featured DAW like Logic or Pro Tools, but Ableton differentiate themselves by supporting that paradigm and that leads them to configurations that are unconventional for non-performance-oriented DAWs:

1. Having all instruments and plugins in a horizontally-oriented trough allows quick drag-and-drop rearrangement. So if you want to rearrange their order very quickly you can do it. In Pro Tools it would be a two click operation at best and depending on how your plugins are arranged it could be significantly more than that.

2. It allows you to reach the knobs on their native instruments and plugins without the need to open/close plugin windows first.

3. MIDI mapping becomes much quicker and intuitive when you can simply toggle the MIDI/Keyboard mapping overlay for a given plugin.

4. Their Instrument Rack/Drum Rack/Midi Rack devices are very flexible in their capabilites. Being able to nest plugins within them like macros and then quickly hide or reveal a dozen plugins within a single rack is great for declutterring an otherwise busy interface.

As someone who mixes most of their projects in Ableton, their Rack paradigm allows me to condense a lot of parallel processing into a single instrument/audio channel. This makes for a very clean representation of very complex processing. To do a similar task such as having three channels of parallel processing on a single channel in Pro Tools involves either sending them to as many return channels, or creating duplicates of that channel which all have their own parallel processing chains. This creates way more clutter on the screen.

That said, you CAN still have Ableton's plugins displayed in the manner you prefer. It's a hidden feature that's not documented. Pretty easy to setup, but not discoverable. It's an option that they developed but decided not to include in the final version. Here's a tutorial: sonicbloom.net/en/ableton-live-insider-tips-options-txt-part-1/
In my perspective, the underpowered part has always been graphic card though.
I believe they meant they'll fuse-mount an S3 store to a local directory and store a git repo in that. And presumably Dropbox will refuse to sync it because it requires the synced directory to be on one of a few specific filesystems.
It says something, but for the first time in about a decade, I actually want to get an iPhone and ditch Android. This is coming from someone who used to rock all the Lumia phones. The last straws for me are usb-c and no notch. The next iPhone that has these updates I'll end up purchasing. I'll likley miss the integration of Windows Phone Link, but I can live without that.
It’s not just the language/runtime though. It’s the entire ecosystem around that that’s required to productionize it in any modern sense of the word. It’s hard to get right even in Python. I mean Flask (even with restx) still doesn’t even generate Swagger 3 documentation.
What about a physical front page that gets printed daily using something like an HP Designjet T210?

You can mount it (it's wireless) and it can print 2' wide from a roll of paper. You feed the paper into a custom frame (add margins to the PDF -> JPG script) and then add a slightly sharp cutting edge at the bottom of the frame so that every day the previous day's frontpage will come out from the bottom of the frame and you can tear it off (reuse as needed).

You would need to pay for something like a 700' roll of 24" butcher paper for $18 and ink (yes I know HP is a terrible company on ink) but it might be even more realistic!
macOS Big Sur adds ‘leasing’ terms for companies like MacStadium

How is 440 MWe small? Output of this reactor is equivalent to the Russian VVER 440 that has been around for decades. The Russians also did the sensible thing when they started with a 210 MWe design and slowly scaled it up to 1200 MWe. Two of these 1200 reactors have been just finished and test fired in Astravets, Belarus, near the Lithuanian border. This got Lithuanua all worked up because of 'safety concerns', halting power imports from Belarus.

One conclusion I got in a mathematical logic exam so many many moons ago was how something being "not as X" still implied that something was "somewhat X".... so just because "RNA is not as suitable as DNA for storing genetic information", essentially it still is somewhat suitable, and perhaps suitable enough.

> YouTube has only existed for fifteen years, but it might continue to exist for centuries.

Is YouTube profitable yet?

I really doubt YouTube will last for centuries, or even twenty or thirty more years. There was a point where it seemed like Geocities was ubiquitous and would be around forever, and now it's gone. Internet services don't have a great track record for longevity. When YouTube finally goes kaput, much of its content will likely be lost, since I don't see Google going through the effort of offering archivists a dump.

Though, I'm kinda skeptical that even much digital data will last for centuries, unless formats and storage media ossify at some point on some long-term stable standard. The trend towards cloud storage makes things even more precarious.

Fascinatingly ignorant take considering the uptake in Latino and black support for Trump of all people in the most recent election.
Doesn't seem all that surprising considering all of the M1 Macs are the low-end machines. Note the RAM options, SSD options, and port configuration.

> but there's no way a 60GB+ game today would ever fit on, say, a DVD, at the same level of fidelity while maintaining the same player experience.

I mean, you could make a modern open-world game where all the textures are procedurally generated from set formulae, ala https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.kkrieger .

It might even load quickly, if the texture generation algorithms were themselves parallelized as compute shaders.

But it'd be a 100% different approach to an art pipeline, one where you can't just throw industry artists/designers at the problem of "adding content" to your world, but instead have to essentially hire mathematicians (sort of like Pixar does when they're building something new.) Costly!
whow! fanless with 3.2Ghz base is really good.

so now they only have to fix their OS and their keyboard or just revert to the versions from 8 years ago.
FWIW I've done a lot of lifting for engine and trans services with nothing more than ratchet straps or a come-along hanging from either an overhead joist or I-beam, or a constructed A-frame when the former were unavailable.

Honestly two post lifts are more just a space and time saver for quick service shops and kind of suck. Back when I worked at a muffler+brake shop it was the two post lifts that did the most damage to vehicles due to poorly located pads or doors hitting the posts, and put the mechanics at the most risk. And when you use them to lift something lopsided like a FWD vehicle off its K member for major service, it becomes so imbalanced the damn car is liable to fall off. Not a fan at all. But they conferred good density to fit more bays in the shop. It's a shit compromise from a mechanic's perspective.
But now they are locking down their software hard. So there is really no free lunch.

I don’t see Apple going further on this front than what they’ve already done.

They don’t want to discourage developers from using their machines because guess who works on MacOS? Developers using Macs.
No, they aren't. All of the top results have crazy overclocking and liquid cooling. You need to look the numbers here: https://browser.geekbench.com/processor-benchmarks. Top end Zen 3 is slightly lower than M1.
That’s my guess. I’m a Mac house but I have two gaming machines arriving Friday for some rendering projects. I really wanted to wait to see what Apple released, but I figure two things: I’m not traveling much in the next year, so I’ll have a desktop year, 2) not a good idea to get v1 of new Apple things. I hope they’ll have new 2nd gen things in the market next year and I’ll come back.

Apple often has 2-3 future generations in development. This was just the first complete design they turned into a product.

That RAM design, tho...

Hormones Tell You How to Vote (2013)
Thank you, this is fascinating to read! This is a piece of NTAP history I was completely unaware of :)
Both are CO2. Mars's is too thin to survive breathing pure oxygen at the same pressure, so you need a pressure suit, besides, to go outside, and a big pressure vessel to live in. And, it is always colder than Antarctica, so you need to be heavily bundled up.

The cloud tops of Venus are at earth standard temperature, pressure, and gravity. The overabundant CO2, cracked, yields both breathing air and construction material. Sunlight, for power, is 2x as abundant as on Earth, and many moreso than on Mars, although the 50+-hour nights require more energy storage capability. An analog of geothermal power generation, relying on higher temperatures at lower strata, might be more practical.

The only particularly inconvenient details are access to metals, probably requiring asteroid mining; and getting there and away safely. It is quite tricky to shed enough velocity on the way in, and to get enough back on the way out.

A large orbiting ring with a radius that puts its circumference at cloud-top level, rotating at a rate that puts the lower rim at rest relative to the habitat, would go a long way to easing both arrival and departure. At the upper rim, its lineal velocity would be twice orbital, good for both capturing arrivals and flinging departures.

Face it, Mars is a dump. The smart money favors Venus.
I'm as skeptical as the next person, but.. Apple's track record on delivering solid performance improvement year after year in their chips has been solid for quite a while now.. [1]

There is only one problem with the notch IMHO... and it's a software issue: taking video fullscreen in the horizontal orientation should only have ever filled the rectangular area.

Otherwise, it's great: the status indicators you want anyway go up in the corners and don't take out a full row of the "actual" screen.
Search in the roadmap is exciting. It'd often be great to constrain search to just the pages I already visited, and there's never an option to do so. And because it's not a full index of the web with billions of pages, this search could be _a lot_ smarter than general purpose search, since it could actually understand both the pages and the query better in a completely privacy-protecting way using recent techniques that are cost prohibitive if you have to run at 1M QPS.

Why is this conversation on HN? Just because there were postings on election results doesn’t mean HN needs to be open to this sort of babble on a regular basis.

HN has been getting more postings on the political side of media, and that just lets in the shills, trolls, pundits, and the like. A posting with a title like “the next fleet of Breitbarts” is only going to lead to comments that are a waste of good photons and too much work for moderators.

Back years ago, I had tried eHarmony. When this article first came out, I had read it and started tracking my own numbers. It pretty much matched what the article is saying perfectly.

It was a long time ago and I certainly don't have the data anymore. IIRC, there used to be a tell on the site where careful inspection of the user's profile page would tell you whether or not they had a full, paid profile (it was something like the background color of one of the fields being slightly different).

Once I discounted the unpaid profiles from my numbers, it was actually a pretty high percentage of people that would respond, go through the several layers of canned intro questionaires, a few back-and-forth messages, and finally agreeing to a date.

The end result was something like 25% of the people with whom I matched whom also had paying profiles would end up in a date. But if you were just tracking "percentage of 'matches' that lead to dates", it was something like 0.1%.

Basically, it boiled down to eHarmony's system giving out less than 1 paying profile per day out of the 5 or 7 or 10 or whatever they gave you. You had to be diligent, working it every day, to get that number above 1 per week. Filter that down to 25%, it was about a date a month.

It was exhausting. I had better luck talking to random people at social events. I met a few people through Craigslist by gamifying my posts, stuff like "to prove you're not a bot, you have to decrypt this ROT13 message and copy it in your email to me" [0]. I actually dated a woman for a little while whom I met when she came to my door looking for donations for some charity.

But really, getting out of bars and going out to specific social events, getting into a group of people with whom I became friends, and letting them introduce me to women, was the ultimate key to finding my wife of 6 years.

[0] Aaaah, Craigslist personals ads. It's all fun and games, until you meet the crazy one who tries to get you into a fight at a biker bar.
When I stopped looking for dates and started looking for friends, it worked and felt at lot better.

I met and became friends with one of my still best friends by contacting them on a dating site and having zero expectations of ever meeting them, just because I thought they'd be cool to hang out with online (and they were).

My partner of the last 10 years was a friend of theirs. Never would have met my partner if not for the dating site, and never would have met them on a dating site.
