Half the battery on a higher powered CPU (the 4800H is 45W and the 4900HS is 35W if I recall correctly), plus a discrete graphics GPU (on top of the iGPU) and active cooling vs passive cooling, plus a 120Hz display on the G14 (and probably Apples is 60Hz).

So a more power-hungry notebooks battery lasts half as long, but still in the double digits. Not quite a surprise there.

Currently, I don't get Ghidra that much. But I appreciate the decompiler. While it isn't perfect, it reverses simple functions to C like pseudo-code a lot faster than I can (not that I'm fast at that anyway). Combining it with the free version of IDA (the disassembler, not the decompiler of IDA) has helped me a lot with hackthebox.eu challenges :)
Haha, as I wrote that comment I was thinking of Josh from Let's Game It Out.

I'm 34 and not super into YouTube but the guy is smart and legitimately hilarious (to me, an adult, not to 12 year old gamers). I've watched through more of his backcatalog than I'd like to admit.
And today it's absolutely the same situation like the one described in the article.

History taught no one. Once again, no one seems to be willing to resist the beginnings and consider the end.

The beginnings go by the name COVID-19 and include lockdowns, closure of national borders, obligatory mask-or-starve-to-death, social distancing, temp checks, QR codes assigned to people in order to leave home, and other totalitarian bullcrap that would be considered absolutely insane and unacceptable as little as a year ago. Everyone is trembling with terror at dying from the single virus and the single disease as if no millions of other viruses and diseases existed. Everyone is so scared for their dear asses that all critical thinking is blocked, because, to cite the original text of the article, 'there is so much going on around', and so they turn a blind eye to all the manipulation and brainwash backed by absurd amounts of money. All they want is that the great wise men in power come and save them. And the end is clearly a one-world medicine-mediated techno-fascism even Hitler and his creators couldn't dream about.

But instead of thinking, what will my bright contemporaries do now? They'll engage their downvote machineguns and flag me the hell out of existence. And HN will help them by counting their pro-covid downvotes as 3 to 5 regular ones. Start your timers, gentlemen, if any still remain here, and watch this post disappear in no time.

But always mind the end, dear downvoters and especially, flaggers.

DaVinci Resolve 17.1 Beta 1 offers universal app support for M1 powered Macs to provide better performance on small laptops. Plus the unified memory architecture on M1 enables DaVinci Resolve 17.1 to leverage the power of CPU and GPU processing more effectively, avoiding the need for PCI Express transfers. Significantly, the combination of M1, Metal processing and DaVinci Resolve 17.1 offers up to 5 times better performance when compared to previous generation computers. DaVinci Resolve 17.1 is also compatible with macOS Big Sur, and is initially only available for Mac.

Up to 5x more performance compared to previous Intel machines? Wow.
There's an implicit cost. Time is a factor for the alien evolution. So if you'll spend too much time relocating your constructions, you might fall behind aliens and will spend lots of resources to defend your base. That'll slow down your research and you'll fall behind more. Actually that's the only thing that I don't like in this game, I wish developers would rebalance the game with 0 time contribution to evolution, as I really love to spend lots of time thinking and rebuilding things and I hate that feeling that I need to move faster. I know that it's easy to change coefficients in the game creation screen, but for some reason I don't like this approach and prefer to play the game with built-in presets (also, I think, achievements are disabled with custom game presets).
The article is from Oct 20th. Do we know if it is still the case?

Not just that, but AFAIU the switch to LaTeX is a relatively recent thing and accomplished by someone whose judgment I value far more than that of the article author.[1] Granted, I've never even heard of the article author before and was surprised the editor baton had been passed.

In general complaining in such terms about a project you've just taken over doesn't seem very professional.[2] We've all been there, done that, etc. LaTeX diagnostics are atrocious. All received large projects are filled with decisions one wouldn't have made oneself, and consequences one would have avoided. But it pays to remember that any senior engineer has presumably left in their wake several large projects that befuddled and frustrated subsequent maintainers, both because of regrettable reasons, yet also for reasons that one would readily defend.

But to suggest Microsoft Word as being a superior option... I can't even begin to fathom such a comparison. I can imagine, however, how insanely frustrated and pissed I would be if I had to take over the task of managing a huge, complex Microsoft Word document. I'm also prepared to admit that there may exist a universe (in which I might be living) where Word is a defensible choice over LaTeX, and that the choice might be more akin to common religious preferences--vi vs emacs, CLI vs GUI, etc--and not something that can be strictly judged in objective terms. Hopefully that admission would give me pause before I let loose such a tirade.

[1] AFAIU, Jens Gustedt was the previous editor, both initiating and executing the switch to LaTeX. But I've never participated in the committee. I may have had a mistaken belief about who was doing the editing over the past several years.

[2] That's a comment on the article, not on the author himself. Professionals do unprofessional things all the time.
This is true, but I think a lot of folk are assuming that a future M2 or M3 will be able to scale up to higher wattage and match state-of-the-art enthusiast-class chips. That assumption is very much yet to be proven.
Out of curiosity, who had unchecked power and was not corrupted by that?
The problem to be solved is why the person doesn't learn or change when they know about the mistake, not the mistake itself.

You might start by directly asking, "Why do you keep making this mistake?" It might be because they're careless, or lazy, or maybe they really don't believe it's a mistake (they just acknowledged the mistake to get you to go away). Or maybe they just need a little help, such as automated reminders to get them to check for those mistakes.

Sadly, there are people who will not learn from either kindness and teaching, or harshness and harrassment. In the workplace, you can make an appeal to the manager, but perhaps only after discussion with coworker has failed to produce the desired results.
Why do you think high threadcounts are a marketing gimmick in this context? Threadcount is just a measure of the number of threads in a square inch of fabric. The higher the threadcount, the denser (and heavier) the fabric is. Higher threadcounts also mean that a fabric is less breathable as less air can pass through.

Generally, craft stores sell only a handful of different threadcounts of a given type of fabric, usually very low threadcount, but in dozens of different patterns, because customers are buying based on patterns, not fabric density. Also, higher threadcount fabrics are more expensive and thus less in demand, so generally need to be purchased special order. Alternatively, you can buy directly from a clothing/fabric wholesaler (though the wholesaler may ask for a reseller's license first).
It's something I'm (probably foolishly) tempted to take a swing at. I have a lot of experience with doing layout in HTML/CSS (of which printable typesetting feels like a subset, superficially at least), and I've been getting into writing parsers/doing language design recently. The only problem is I don't know a ton about LaTeX or how people use it other than "it lets you very precisely format documents via special markup, including things like mathematical formulas and diagrams (?), and it's used by lots of academics".
I think the philosophy is that you're not too often acquiring new software while offline so the usability trade-off isn't as bad as it seems.
> places don't re-think their strategy for decades

because it is hard to measure the effectiveness. How many terrorist attacks and domestic incidents are there (assuming in good faith those are the only things to be prevented) ?

I would assume in the absence of any of these national security agencies that there were only very few per year if not decade. That makes it hard to adjust the strategy even if you assume that they are totally focused on security only, and not e.g. on the continued presence of their paycheck of suppression of opposition parties.

To give you an example: the (American) security measures at the airport that were introduced in 2001 can be considered a total success, as there has been no incidence since then
(success = good, people can get promoted for that[0]), although these measures have been called security theater at times[1].

And with these measures called successful by those promoted people, why change them? Of course some other people opine that they may not be as successful as they claim they are [2], but it is still hard to quantify.

> instead of catching everything you see, you can also collect information until you find a pattern

yeah that seems likely. Though this scares me personally as I may demonstrate a pattern now that will make me a suspect in the future, despite doing nothing wrong.

That was deliberate. The point of this sub-thread is that historical narratives get written and re-written by the victors, and the "right" side of history depends on when you're located in history.

Tecumseh and Sitting Bull have positive legacies because Native Americans are not realistic threats to the United States at this point. They weren't always viewed as such: see for example the (fraudulent) Speech at Tuckabatchee, which indicates how people might've viewed Tecumseh in 1860:

No it's not. It was designed to be extremely light with many compromises to make that happen. Yeah it got outdated, but that doesn't mean it was entry level.
Sure, can you share your understanding?
You can just use 555-555-5555 at Safeway and it works, I've never owned a card.
This is common apple fanatism bs.

Except for a few very specific workloads and iDevices development, most things can be done on windows or Linux equally well.

In the meantime, have fun with your dumbed down is where you can only run apple-approved things.
In that case still threadripper for more memory channels, but specifically a low-core version?

But in that case you can do even better than building your own. The OEM-only WX line has 8-channel memory, and the cheapest one is a reasonable 12 cores.
Thanks for the response.

Yeah, I can see why having astronauts not get ill in space makes sense at the moment, and that for more long-term viability of living in space humans are going to probably have to take their mess and germs with them.

And also that lack of exposure to immune-challenges probably represents a net-negative effect on our well-being in this life and also reduced selection-pressure in the evolutionary sense.

Quite concerning!

If only that was so. Using a bunch of old tech in a new way does not actually lead to great success. The re-qualification of the RS-25 alone took years and cost 100s of millions. And that is without producing new ones.
This is how you know that Apple haters are running scared.

There is no longer the web link to read this if you don't have a subscription to WSJ.

It feels like the manipulative media is free. And, thoughtful discussion is behind a pay wall. I do pay for subscriptions but not to all of them.

I'm really interested in understanding whether the surviving Koch is putting his money where his intentions are and funding the bridge. I'm assuming this is what the article talks about.

Maybe he and a bunch of other billionaires could provide free media access. Funding NYT and WSJ? It will never happen. What about paying salaries of journalists directly in addition to their salaries at the media companies? What about a blind trust where they had no say over what the journalists said?
That's what I've observed, but the cache does expire (I think daily). It doesn't send a request for a cache hit.
LG makes laptops?
> So its faster then a 3 generations old budget card, that doesn't run nVidia optimized drivers

This is a key point. Nvidia GPUs have not been supported in macOS since Mojave, so this seems like an apples-oranges comparison. Unless the benchmark for M1 was also run on Mojave (unlikely), then there's 3 years worth of software optimization potentially unaccounted for.

Possibly a more realistic comparison is between the M1 and the AMD Radeon 5300M. Shows between a 10-40% deficit in performance: https://gfxbench.com/compare.jsp?benchmark=gfx50&did1=798775...

That said still an impressive showing given the TDP and the fact it's an integrated GPU vs. a dedicated GPU. It seems to hint that with enough GPU cores and a better cooling solution, it's not unreasonable to see these replacing the AMD Radeon 5500M/5600M next year in the MBP 16 and iMac lineups.

EDIT: pasted wrong compare link
Ask them how you can help them not to make the same mistake again. Not knowing the specific situation makes it hard to offer specific advice, but in software there are specific tools (e.g. IDEs, linters, CIs, tests, etc.) that help people avoid known mistakes. Sometimes having better docs or specific checklist (e.g. "your bug must have these fields filled in before we can work on it") helps.

If that doesn't help, ask the manager the same - emphasizing you are not attacking the person but looking for a way to stop wasting time on correcting the same repeating mistake which adds to costs and decreases productivity. That may generate some resentment (so trying to resolve it directly first is prudent) but if you avoid framing it as a personal fault it would usually help.
The reason is divorce.
there are modes and mods that allow you to remove the character entirely, and you would then play the game entirely with bots from a "god" point of view. i think it would be clunky to port to touch screen but not impossible. I would agree that its an inferior experience, but maybe someone people value the portability of the tablet versus the efficiency of a mouse and keyboard. Also I would say the game doesnt really teach you the short cuts. I found the self discovery not to be great, and i defaulted to looking to guides to understand a lot of the nuanced features. Things have gotten a lot better since the 1.0 launch, but there are still a few tricks like launching artillery on drag instead of click that only extreme power users know about that normal users would probably like.
And yet, here we are.

To preface, we're talking about people with jackasses-tendencies here. Normal, well-adjusted people don't like to make their colleagues feel bad.

But as you say, it's also been my experience that apology and... "ownership"(?) are two very different things in American (Southern) culture.

"I'm sorry I did X" seems to signal weakness and invite criticism, if people are already so inclined.

"I did X. It wasn't the best approach / it was wrong / etc" seems to be perceived as stronger, while also taking responsibility for the mistake.

My gut says bullies key to subconscious signs of weakness, and the former is interpreted as such. While the latter projects subconscious strength, even while communicating conscious guilt.

We're all just apes in the end.
CBC, Radio-Canada and TVA are now reporting this as a hoax.

Well it's not totally crazy. I suffer from mild chronic depression and I have noticed that doing my morning exercise routine makes it much more likely that my mood will be decent throughout the day than if I wake up and decide I just don't feel like exercising that day.

I have also experimented on myself to see whether 30 minutes of exercise improved my mood in the middle of the day. Not totally surprisingly, it _usually_ did. Not always, but usually. It never once had a negative impact.

The main problem is one of motivation/willpower. Telling a depressed person that they should exercise to feel better seems like solid advice on the surface of it, because it stands a high chance of both being true and actually working, BUT they are not in a place to usefully implement the advice. The brain gets in the way and overrides what we see as "common sense." The same way you can't tell an alcoholic to have a nice big steak instead of a beer for dinner. The person usually even knows the "right" thing to do, they are just literally unable to take the right action in the moment.

I have tutored people taking Calc 1, 2 and 3 at several universities in the US.

There's no exact standard that I'm aware of, but they tend to closely align at different universities. Dividing James Stewart's Calculus into three parts is a reasonable guide: you can see the contents on Amazon preview.

I'd expect solving first order linear differential equations would be solidly in Calc 2.

If your editor can do that, so could the compiler.

So, why require them? The only reason I can think of would be readability, but I haven’t seen a language where that is a serious concern (scala gets close with its “there must be a blank line here” at times)

I think “no semicolons” nowadays is the option to go for.
I get that you’re mad, but I don’t think you’re taking it out on the right people.

The vaccine approval process is really rigorous, it isn’t some joke. We’re currently sitting around waiting because Pfizer is still observing, waiting for the slightest hint of a long term issue. Other vaccine candidates have been paused in the trials. Yes, the risk is nonzero. But there’s no evidence of risk at all and there will be tens of thousands of data points when the results come out.
Anecdotal, but a few observations that work for myself:

* Lack of sleep lowers my energy and creative function. I no longer have energy to try new things, or to think out-of-the-box. The brain enters "survival mode" of just following the routine to make it to the end of day. If I let this accumulate over multiple days, the overall motivation and happiness starts dropping exponentially. This makes sense, since a lot of my happiness comes from envisioning goals and achieving them, which I cannot do if I don't sleep enough.

* If I get more than 1 night of bad sleep, I usually try to squeeze in a strenuous hike or just go cycling around the neighborhood. At least 1-2 hours, ideally 4-5. It increases the physical tiredness and makes it easier to fall asleep. It also fills in the short-term memory buffer with random stuff, that seems to have a positive correlation with subsequent sleep quality.

* Screen time generally depends on what you are doing. Routine work or clickbait browsing is bad because it doesn't make you tired and doesn't give enough short-term impressions. Playing games can give impressions, but they also raise excitement, that makes it harder to fall asleep. What works for me is to read for 30-60 minutes just before bedtime. Classic books, sci-fi, anything that is not exciting, but involves imagining what I just read about. After I'm done reading, I make a conscious effort to NOT think about work/plans/stressful topics. Thinking about what I just read usually works pretty well.

* You need to be very careful with alcohol. Moderate amount (say, 1-2 beers) makes it easier to fall asleep, but there's a high chance of waking up after 2-3 hours once it wears off. It also seems to recalibrate the nervous system, making it harder to fall asleep without drinking. So if you are having sleep problems, completely cutting of any booze for about a week shows wonderful results, despite the initial setback.
Been seeing more anti-free speech people here.
Or maybe the censorship is perfectly fine as long it’s our team mindset.

But if you keep your arguments here well written and reasonable usually it’s fine.
For some idiosyncratic definition of "work", one supposes. (Some would argue that at least the "agriculture complex" puts something approaching food on the shelves.) I live in a blood-red state, and I'm kind of an asshole so I have political conversations with everyone. I haven't this year talked to a single person who thinks that any of the wars fought in my lifetime were good wars to fight, or who "desire" any more of them. (There are some dead-enders who still defend the idea of Vietnam; before my time.)

The average citizen, however, may fall under your "accepts" criterion. It doesn't matter what nation I suggest, indeed I have made up nonexistent nations before, and most people will allow that, yes, given sufficient winding-up on the part of "news" organizations and politicians, they would accept bombing them to hell and back. In the long view of history, this will be why USA and Germany are discussed together in the same chapter. The public does not desire ruinous horrific ridiculous pointless endless war, but it does accept that, after enough gaslighting by MIC's paid employees in government and media. That's on us. I don't really like my team.

That seems like a silly argument. That would be like saying I don't like languages that require semicolons because then I have to remember to put in semicolons.

The whitespace is part of the syntax. Just like in some languages putting a semicolon at the end is part of the syntax.

And for the most part, your IDE will take care of whitespace anyway.
The other biggie is legal and fiduciary exposure. That's usually neglected by tecchies.

You can't ask a lawyer, because they will always say "no," but I have seen some really bad things happen, because people didn't take this stuff seriously.
