There's nothing to "reverse engineer" there: M1 has 4x the L1 cache and a wider bus. That's it.

This cannot be implemented in AMD's current 7nm process due to size restrictions.

The SoC-side of the story is also contrary to the very core design of a general purpose CPU. RAM, GPU, and extension cards for specialised tasks are already covered by 3rd party products on the PCIe and USB4 buses and AMD has no interest in cannibalising their GPU and console business...

With their upcoming discrete GPUs and accelerator cards, Intel might be in the same boat w.r.t. SoC design.
Why would they sell to the highest bidder? The make more money from non-exclusive sales.
Oh come on, soverign debt is about as far from being "a market" as possible....

I'll believe the yields mean something when the US Treasury issues a special series of bonds that are forbidden to be owned by the Fed or any entity with access to the discount window.
Could an E-ink screen behind the backlight of an LCD screen be used to enhance the dynamic range of the screen? The idea being to modulate the local brightness of the screen by changing the color of the e-ink.
Great, but I would rather see a perf comparison of .NET 5/Core vs .NET 4.7 because .NET Core was a new technology that may have traded performance for features in its first versions. Similar to how JDK 14 beats JDK9..13 but still in many cases is behind JDK8.
100% agreement, except that I see it as more of a "zombie bank investment" problem than a "zombie startup" problem.

The scale and negative follow-on effects of unproductive landholding is much worse than this problem isolated to the tech industry.
You complain about air pollution yet you still breathe? How hypocritical!
I haven't really thought about adding new features by now. I did it to learn some more advanced techniques in the first place. But maybe I will work on it in the future to improve it further. Though, the focus will remain on adding notes / organizing different pages of notes.
Whilst it's DRM free, it's still licensed copyrighted content that cannot be shared unless the license permits. BandCamp's terms of use state that they take non-exclusive rights to sell and distribute works on your behalf, but they do not grant those same rates to buyers.

DRM is not Licensing, but a mechanism to enforce a license.

I think OP is implying that the sharing provided in funkwhale is likely violating the typical license terms of any purchased music, therefore is preventing a musician from making money from streaming services which have appropriately licensed the music for streaming.

Buying a license doesn't mean that you own the work, just that you have the right to play it in specific circumstances (most of which nobody pays attention to anyway). I'm sure we've all played a song on a loud speaker for others to hear, but again that's against typical license terms.
Expectation mismatch is real. Unless you pay so you can see what “lowering your standards” could bring (by looking at people who liked you even though you didn’t like them), you can go ages without ever matching, or matching with dead profiles who will never answer.
I don’t have any experience about scaling Multi-region, but I think for these kinds of ‘apps’, the way to keep response times down is to have multi-region DB and servers. Is that true?
That's a great point! I'm sure biases play a big role in any interaction we have, albeit gender is just one of the factors.

One can have a negative bias toward candidates from a certain ethnicity, or candidates with a certain height, or based off their attractiveness or a perceived "warmth".

What I was referring to was merely the competitive vs empathic nature which tends to manifest more in men vs women.
No, not yet - but that what be interesting to add!
It's funny how much the world has changed in such a short time.

A few nights ago I was watching the 2002 film The Bourne Identity. There's a line where one of the characters is horrified that the government knows she's traveling with someone else. "How can they know we're together?!" she shrieks.

Today you just ask Google or Facebook, and it will tell you who's together, where, and for how long. And with a straight face they tell you it's a feature, not a bug.
The benefit of a large, well-equipped military is that you get to tell people whether or not you're/they're going to pay your/their debts. For as long as your population is willing to pay for its prosperity in blood.
I initially downvoted you but after finally getting the project site to load I changed my mind.

The project explicitly mentions many examples of sharing through federation and it seems to me they’re explicitly advocating for illegal sharing of music.

Now, I certainly have plenty of issues with copyright and I tend to lean more towards “piracy isn’t a huge deal since we all want convenient (not free) access to media.” However, this project seems to be positioning themselves as a free music sharing service. I can’t imagine this ends well for them.

Some may mention other means of sharing music such as Plex or Jellyfin. I think Plex etc are flirting with the edge a bit with their sharing features. However, their sharing features are meant to selectively share with say family members in your household. Funkwhale is positioning the hoster to share with anyone on the internet. Don’t be surprised to get a DMCA notice if you open up a music library to the whole internet.

It’s too bad because there definitely is a space for someone to create a really nice self-hosted music library. Plex and Plexamp work ok but still leave a lot to be desired in terms of discovery.
Oh this makes so much sense now, thanks for sharing. I only recently had to look into react for the first time (not a web dev at all) and was shocked by the depth of call trees and render processes for even simple tasks.

No wonder these things are so unusable. But I guess slack know who they're targeting? People who won't notice the latency because when the pixels show up they're still busy finding the next key to press, or trying to find the right button for the text formatting... /s
google and facebook are CIA's and NSA's wet dreams coming true..i wish my wet dreams would come true as well.
> The comparison is kind of silly.

I disagree. Sure we have things like NVENC for accelerated H.265 encoding but that is an additional hardware expense and means only the machines you have that hardware in benefits. This will literally be all Macs from a $699 Mini and up.

I don't know enough about Intel QuickSync to compare but it clearly isn't used on the iMac in that video for some reason (perhaps the software does not support it? I don't know)

That is pretty exciting for video professionals IMHO.

I'm not saying it is world changing but being able to pick up a MacBook Air for $999 and get performance similar (or maybe better?) than a PC that costs two or three times that with dedicated hardware is very cool.

edit:

I appear to be missing why this is a ridiculous thing to say?

Could somebody please explain to me why the comparison is "silly"?
Targeting filters can be used to reverse engineer your data.
Don't know much about US carriers apart from brief interactions but I thought it was clear they were selling that data to 3rd parties for years and then got Government blessing to do it after being called out?

Seems insane to me, it's one of those thing you take for granted elsewhere, yeah of course my mobile ISP knows my location, as does the govt if they ask the ISP in an email, that's fine. (Quite sure most carriers have no qualms just handing it over on request)

But just selling that info for cents to any third party seems so utterly egregious and a massive betrayal of consumer trust.
> Which my purchase doesn't cover, right?

It most certainly does in my country (and probably in most of Europe I would hasard).

The only thing you can't do is public performance and distribution but sharing it with your friends is definitely legal.
Executing a Zendesk Implementation Project – What to Avoid and Where to Start
this point is dangerous - the same logic can be applied to C code or any other programming language. source files only encode the AST, after all. it's the compiler/interpreter doing the actual work. it just so happens that the INI interpreter doesn't usually do much else than load the list of key value maps - and that's the problem - people extend INI source files in a different language which can do more.
Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, Link is only a RFC (5988, 8288), and nobody has actually implemented using it.

How to Camouflage a Waste Incinerator
For me, the real game changer is the REPL-driven workflow you get with both Clojure and ClojureScript, but it's really hard to describe the details of how it's different than hot-reloading in the React ecosystem. I've tried many times, but my explanations seems to mostly confuse people rather than enlighten them.

So let's use the words of others instead, here is the best explanation I know about why the Clojure REPL rocks: https://vvvvalvalval.github.io/posts/what-makes-a-good-repl....

Short version is: you can send snippets of code to your REPL from your editor, and because of the common structure of Clojure apps, you can usually evaluate content in the middle of a function without having to change any code. Basically unlimited introspection into a running program.

I used to program in PHP, C#, Golang, Ruby, NodeJS/JavaScript (both backend/frontend) and some others, and no language comes close to the dev experience of Clojure. I'm sure other lisps are similar as well, but haven't used anything else than Clojure substantially.
Warrant is required though.
No, I did not intended to urge any Notion users to my app :P
> If it loses video from the camera, it needs to alert. If it loses its network connection, it needs to alert. If whatever is meant to be receiving alerts doesn’t receive a heartbeat from the camera, it needs to alert. In all those cases that alert needs to be obnoxious as hell, and guaranteed to fire.

An exercise to think about this is the baby monitor should DEFAULT to the alarm state. Now, what conditions have to be met to turn the damn alarm off.

There's a lot of countries with lower nominal yields that are not known for their military prowess ... like Greece. Yes, greek bonds have negative yields.
Also you can take pride in things, keep them maintained and tuned to your preferences. Or the opposite. In the case of my car I don't need to take care of the cosmetics. I can load a muddy mountain bike into it and scratch it without needing to pay through the nose as I would wit a rental car.

In my case it would be cheaper to rent a car than own one as I use it relatively infrequently, but every time I rent I need to wait in the queue picking it up and dropping it off. It probably uses two or three hours of my life every time I rented.

More than 500ms to open an email? One that's already stored locally?!

If that is the case, I advise you check what's taking so long, I get nothing like it with my thunderbird setup.

Given, I disable html formatting where I can, that might make a difference. But even on my 2009 i5 desktop with hdd storage it doesn't take that long to load the actual email.
Agreed. People are acting like this is some kind of record breaking performance when it isn't. It is impressive that the m1 chips can do it without a fan which shows that they do have a lot of headroom which is a sign of where things may go in the future.
> I still feel that neural networks and genetic algorithms are far underused methods of solving problems. (Especially the latter, which don’t require training.)

Funny how he is more ambitious about genetic algorithms.
I think we are already at the point of saturation. Lots of people are working in the business of convincing you to buy things you don't need. On the other hand, the agricultural and industrial revolutions did give time for people to adapt. They happened in brief times considering human history, but they were enough for people to learn and become productive.

If you have automated cars tomorrow on the streets, most of the truck and taxi drivers are not ready. Heck, most of the oil countries in the middle-east are not ready for a post-oil economy.

It sounds like one could try to solve that mismatch by aggressively tracking usage and queueing up registrations, so that the ratio of actually-active users is always close to 50-50. It means leaving money on the table though.
What nonsense. Maybe home ownership is out of reach for many young people, but they all seem to have a laptop, mobile phone and huge pair of headphones. Young people have always been the poorest section of society, but that makes complete sense as they haven't has the time to accumulate any wealth. Eventually they become old people.
Liquidity doesn't begin to explain the valuation question. SoftBank's market cap was once 110bn vs their stake in Ali Baba at 150bn [0] . Even if you marked all the Vision Fund nonsense to 0, SoftBank is still a real company that does stuff outside of being a bad PE/VC/HF firm.

Yes, you will be allowed to choose any artificial sexbot you want and as many as you like... So long as the sexbot is supplied by the official Facebook-approved provider and Facebook employees can watch and record your every interaction with the sexbots. It's for your own safety and to improve the service of course.
I agree with the concern. Tools like this (e.g. myTunes / ourTunes) tend to be used primarily to avoid paying for music that was produced to be sold. If you believe (as I do) that the supply of quality music creation / music discovery is elastic, that means it's a free rider problem for society to solve.

I do think, however that your comment might have been better-received if delivered with less snark.
The screen really does not let a lot of light shine through. There is a reflective coating (imagine aluminum foil) that reflects back. We did try to use the opacity of screen with high power leds for some usecases but it did not work. I think you need to look at E Paper optical characteristics as you would look at 1 mm thick cardboard.

The best way to fix optical characteristics is to play with the substrate and layers in front. Like adding a very good frontlight really helps with contrast even in non-dark conditions.

That seemed to hit a nerve with you huh?
It’s 2020 and I don’t own a house or car, or even a bicycle. I rent all those things when I need them, and it really is great.

I also care about privacy. Yes, you have to hand over id to your landlord when you apply for a lease. But unless you can afford to buy your home with cash, you also have to do that to get a mortgage.

I hope my bike share program isn’t selling my trip data to other companies. I would like it if it worked more like public transport, where you can easily buy a ticket without id and use it anonymously.

There’s nothing inherent about renting that prevents privacy. You can buy cars that have gps trackers on them, which can be tracked by a company in the event of theft. Some cars, like the Nissan GT-R, use them to stop you driving too fast if you’re not at an approved race track.

I think regulation is the only way to protect privacy, regardless of whether people rent or own.
> 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.

> This is the most excited I have been for general purpose computer performance gains in about a decade.

I think I would be excited if it were not built by Apple. That functionally means it’s only going to be in Apple products at a 300% markup.
I agree. It is not without danger, the same as with Apps actually, that developers target only the iPad (touch interface) and don't care about optimizing for the Mac experience.

But on the whole I am optimistic.
"Fixing" what already worked just fine.

You've topped out as a developer if you are spending time swapping out your architecture for "jamstack". What have you changed? Nothing but the plumbing. Up your game and spend your time on real progress.
What qualifies a Linux-friendly way that’s currently missing?
Did powershell get faster as well?

I remember trying it out (on Linux, that is), and really liked the concept, but it was painfully slow, so it was no fun for me. Like, waiting 3-5 seconds in the REPL for a single line to compile and execute.
In many benchmarks .NET/ASP.NET is faster than GO, a low level language:

But unlike GO, you will need to write 50x less lines of code to achieve the same result.

I have a job and I get paid much better than average person here. However I still don't feel very wealthy, and there's lots of wealth imbalance in this country. The younger people are even more fucked. I'll probably be fine considering I earn more than average, but I'm seriously concerned with the trend however.

Sure we can own trivial things like laptops and what not, but that's not really something to secure your future with. Younger generations will be forever slaves and work to the grave, unless you happen to be born in fortunate family or get incredibly lucky.
Communities sharing resources, rather than nuclear families is a good idea. Much of the world lives like this already. Not every house on your street needs a lawnmower (or a lawn).

Lack of privacy however, is a lack of personhood. It will be eroded, and some aspects of it should change, nudity for example should be less abhorrent to all. But this seems like a thought experiment for the sake of argument, and I fear that arguments are all it will generate.
The funny thing about the Disco Stu Fallacy is that Stu was right in the long run.

Apple wants privacy 'nutrition labels' on all new and updated apps
I worked a bit on this space, mostly for https://simplesql.redbeardlab.com/ (not running at the moment, but if folks would like to test it, please leave your email or contact me) and https://redisql.com

KV is the simplest thing you can provide, but in general it is hard to build applications on top of it, especially with changing requirements. KV means basically that all your query and way to interact with the storage must be well-known in advance. While with SQL, all your data is there and it is fast to add an index.

The problem with the solution above are the wrapper for libraries, nobody want to write a django or rails app, and integrate with an HTTP service for the database.

But maybe people are willing to do so for micro...

There will be an "app" for that. You select the meal you want to cook and it sends you the ingredients and whatever appliances you need to cook that meal. Then show you step by step how to prepare the meal and you do it.

This is correct.

For GDPR purposes, data is PII if it can be used in combination with any other data to identify an individual. Doesn’t matter if the individual data points are not themselves identifying.

One thing I’ve been curious about is whether AI and algorithms that can potentially take a huge amount of anonymous data and “identify” a user (but not explicitly), only identify in the sense that the output of the AI was only possible by correlating individuals granularity enough. I’m almost certain the answer is yes. I’m not clear on whether GDPR addresses that issue or not.
You ever ask a date why they swiped on your profile? It's a good question for 10-15 minutes in to the first conversation. It's always revealing - about you, about how you're perceived, and about how the other person perceives you and what matters to them.

Also - bug your desired-sex friends and family. Show them your profile. Focus-group it. This has been massively helpful for me.

At the end of the day: change stuff and see what happens.

Really? All social change is good for the field of software development? Utter nonsense. This product itself is, if anything, a rejection of the social change towards centralized ad-supported streaming services.

> We understand that working in our field is a privilege, not a right.

I don't have a right to work as a software developer? Last I checked, I lived in a free country where I can do what I want. This is some authoritarian language, implying that people should be ejected from the industry if they don't play according to one person's set of rules.
