> Keep in mind that there is a much larger installed base of Intel machines than any of those other transitions.

The OP asked about Rosetta2 though. How many Intel macs are out there doesn't mean much when fat binaries can support both. This is all about software moving.
But how do you prevent it from turning into another AMD FreeSync issue? FreeSync is a royalty-free, free to use display syncing technology.

However many monitors only implement part of the overall FreeSync spec. So when you buy a monitor with FreeSync, it might be fine from 1-60 fps, but 61-144 fps might have issues.

So, how do you enforce that all "basics" are met? Consider the complexity of new technologies like Bluetooth 5 or Wifi 6 - even getting all the basics is a huge amount of work.
That doesn't make sense. Having reasonable scheduling doesn't imply strict prioritization. It makes no difference whether you call your parents now or in two hours. You can't live a productive meaningful life using short term unscheduled strict prioritization.
Spend half that on a plastic one you want to replace in 2-3 years as it gets banged up.

My 2015 MB Pro has a few knicks. Before that I had Lenovo T400 before that was trashed after 3 years. Broken hard drive cover, screws coming loose, etc

When it comes to spending on things “you get what you pay for” actually matters.

There’s a lot of low cost options that confuse people into thinking they’re better off buying the cheaper version. Ultimately that’s the one designed to be replaced in half the time.
> unsustainable sharing

Indeed, that was another point I wanted to make but refrained from. Having so much content and functionality for free, with absolutely no cost (like your data being mined for pofit) is simply unsustainable... In a way, the early 2000s were the odd time, not today. Maybe that'll look different when/if humanity manages to overcome the major issues we face today and we reach an age of plenty.
I think we can reasonably assume RCS is used by Google to attack on both fronts: iMessage in the US and other countries with high iOS penetration, Whatsapp and other cross-platform messenger services in the rest of the world.

But while carriers and Android OEMs might be on board, I don't really see why Apple would bother, short of being forced. Maybe that's part of the strategy.
It would seem that `mysterious ways` was never the best security approach.

Still to impact 10M users given "It has been downloaded by more than 1 million people on Google Play, and ranks as the #24 lifestyle app in the Apple App store" does seem interesting and would love a breakdown upon that as not sure that 9M Apple app users of this. So, probably some deeper breachers of GDPR and the like going on here.
My HA install was on a Synology and in Docker, with a UPS so power outages weren’t a things. However the lack of WAN occurred a few times. It didn’t ever cause trouble, no matter what order it started up. What was the issue it caused for you?
I'm personally both impressed and surprised by how well this M1 chip performs. But one thing most reviews omit to mention is that it has a fab process advantage compared to the competitors, especially against Intel. And going from TSMC 7nm (which is the latest line of AMD CPUs are using) to 5nm can bring a few tens of percentage points in power consumption and/or performance improvement.

This of course doesn't take anything away from the design, as clearly Apple has had a hefty lead against other smartphone SoC designers in the smartphone space for years.
My laptop screen bends 180 degrees fully flat on the desk, I use this configuration with an external monitor but no external keyboard. Maybe that's how you would use this system most of the time, just plug an external monitor and ignore the built-in one.
Wasn't CS:GO developed by Hidden Path?
This kind of form factor is called a cyberdeck, and is inspired by cyberpunk fiction and roleplaying games. Most of the community has now converged on screens that tilt up for practicality's sake, but the flat ones do have a retro charm.
My trusty DW5600E has been running for 9 years on its first battery.
One of the best, and first, things we did when starting our machine learning platform was to design it using a plugin architecture. There's a lot of scar tissue and horrible experience through our previous ML products we built for enterprise.

Namely, it was extremely hard to onboard new developers to work on the product. They had to understand the whole thing in order to contribute.

Changing something was also hard, since it was intertwined. Adding a feature or removing a feature was hard. Especially given the fact we were not designing to spec, and the domain experts we were building for could not give feedback. That was a constraint outside of our control, so we were building for users we never met based on what we thought would make sense.

The first commits on our own platform were to establish a plugin architecture. There's a core, and there are plugins. We could add or remove functionality changing a config file. Applications are plugins and onboarding is easy and smooth, since a junior developer can start working on one plugin and then expand their knowledge.

We're reaping the rewards of that.

The other problem, if you try your best to avoid backing your stuff up to the cloud, is that other people will back up their stuff to the cloud.

They're on Source 2 now, but not all of their games have been ported to it. A former employee said that Source 2 is pretty much just Source 1 with some extra phsyics bolted on, not a completely new engine.
Intel never had platform control. They had market control.

While they often had superior hardware compared to competitors, they had so much influence in the market that they could maintain market dominance even when the hardware wasn't superior.
I've changed the time-of-day that I consume news/social media. I find if I do it at night before bed, it significantly limits the amount of distraction I have during the day - and often I just forget to look.

EFF, ACLU, others frustrate me to no end. I just cannot grok their viewpoints. Establishment centrists trying to defend an imaginary world that never existed?

I was an election integrity activist. I had also implemented electronic medical record exchanges. So I know a few things about patient and voter privacy. My discussions with policy people have never been fruitful.

We have no privacy. That's not the interesting part.

The interesting part:

What is privacy?

What are the technically feasible options?

What are the laws and practices to uphold those feasible privacy solutions?

In my experience, the privacy advocates are completely out of touch with the technical reality. (I'll skim read the datadividends.org link below shorty, to see if they're more savvy.)

Property rights for personal data still don't answer those three interesting questions. That's a separate discussion.
Not everyone has this urge.

It's just that the people without this urge wind up living in BFE or the ghetto (because why would you pay big bucks to live in a suburb if not for the conformism/homogeneity) and the net result is most of the people living in high class suburbs where there's a Ring on every other door have this urge.

We've already seen total vendor control there. There's nothing to suggest that those same vendors won't do the exact same things on all of their platforms. Already it's basically impossible to distribute unsigned mac apps.

Research broadly fits into two categories, basic research and research with near to midterm industrial viability.

Most basic research is government funded.
You even forgot one major system that controls what we are seeing: Google search. Just give some other search engine (e.g. DuckDuckGo or SwissCows) a try for a few days and you'll see what I mean.
This looks like an 5th grader sketched their perfect computer and then a GAN turned it into a real design.
Just off the top of my head, maybe it could be used for detecting and
applying local optimizations to digital circuits, sort of like
peep-hole optimization in compilers but for hardware. If the circuit
is represented as a graph, then a tool like this could find clusters of
locally connected components that could be replaced by something
simpler. The brute force approach would depend on solving subgraph
isomorphism, which is NP-hard, but the authors claim to have found an
easier way. I've only skimmed the paper so I'm in no position to
judge.

That's nice of them, but it does needlessly bloat OS code, specification, and tests.

It is somewhat common to not be sure what is best after phase I/II and so try two different doses. Though normally you try to avoid that because it is more expensive. In this case Oxford thought the two dose was more promising, but the other had enough promise that they start it too just in case. That the second seems better is a surprise, if they expected this result they would have tested differently.

My guess is the lighter dose is really slightly less effective, but the same size is so small that statistical issues make it seem better than it really is.
"Also, if you touched the renderer, even in a simple way, and a team later encountered a rendering bug, you would be blamed and have to fix it. Even if the bug had nothing to do with your change. This taught programmers to not change anything unless absolutely necessary."

I've seen this effect in code that wasn't nearly this bad, and I've even felt this way...

But in the end, I've decided to do it anyhow. The end result was that I became the guy that could fix anything (in other people's minds, anyhow) and my job was actually more secure than if I'd followed the path of least resistance.

Had these devs followed the hard path, too, I think it would have helped get things cleaned up, instead of continuing to pollute everything even worse.

Sometimes developing is hard, and you just can't shy away from the hard parts. It just makes everything else harder.

> many Android fans has an unhealthy obsession with Apple bordering on mental disorder

I've also found many Apple fans have an unhealthy obsession with Apple bordering on mental disorder, but my anecdote is about as pointless as yours here.

There are also plenty of people in both "camps" who just want a device to go about their business and, as is their choice, don't care much beyond "what costs less" (however they might define that), or what their friends/family use or recommend, or maybe just what fits a very specific use case of theirs.

I've used both types of devices, and there are some things Apple/iOS does better and some things Google/Android does better, and certainly some things neither does well. The specifics of that will always be a subject of disagreement depending on who you ask.

How to prevent software’s top issues before they eat your revenue
Here [1] it says the vaccine was designed mostly over the weekend of 11th Jan 2020. Here we are 10 months later and we know it works. If our knowledge of vaccine design is so good experts can design a vaccine that works over a weekend, what new breakthroughs are required to reduce the time between then and now substantially? A lot of benefit could have been had if we'd been able to get along this path more quickly.

> social media - are not directed by a uniform actor with intentions.

Regarding influencers at least (and a lot of other social media phenomenon), the uniform actor is the ad industry. It's the sole reason influencers make a living and flaunts the latest products.

There certainly is intent: make people desire useless shit, get people spending.

Regarding the ad industry and social media in general, I am surprised that people think it is not about control, that the effects we are seeing are not planned. This is not conspiratorial thinking. Behavioral psychology has always been central to advertising. It is manipulation on a vast scale. The problem is it has become so widespread and ingrained in our daily lives and everything we see and hear that most of us now seem completely blind to it. Hey, it is black Friday soon; you will probably buy something you do not need, right? You are practically saving money by buying...

The design of social media platforms are even worse (more malicious, with intent) than traditional ad campaigns.
Doesn't suprise me. I was watching a video where they had devs watch a speedrun for HL:2, and they said that there are a ton of hacky fixes that never got properly fixed. They said that same code is now in HL:Alyx, and that it's funny looking through the code for a modern AAA game and seeing comments like "Quick hack to get demo stable for E3 2005. Add permanent fix after show".
The problems with homebrew packages at present are mostly down to projects like Go and Rust not being updated for M1 ARM yet and hence sources not compiling properly rather than a problem with homebrew itself. So users attempting to compile from original upstream sources would run into similar problems.

The proper place to do this is in building codes: forbid hardwiring of devices at build time that don't (at minimum) support a basic, local protocol and be cloud-disable-able.

They can do whatever they want in addition to that, but table stakes or you aren't installable in a new build home.

> I have some sympathy with your perspective and still live my life a lot aligned to that mindset.

I've struggle with this as well. I think the key is to avoid thinking "priority" as one dimensional.

A goal can be high-priority because it is urgent. Continuing to work until today's lunch break is more urgent than calling your parents, because you can only work until today's lunch break today, while you can call your parents at any time.

A goal can be high-priority because it is important. As a goal, calling your parents may be more important than continuing to work until today's lunch break.

In order to avoid the outcome that calling my parents is important, but I haven't called them in months because it was never urgent, I have to increase the urgency of the goal by constraining it in time: It's important to call my parents, and urgent to call my parents before the upcoming holiday.

Yeah... because nobody else makes ARM compatible chips.

x86 is not an open ISA. For all practical purposes nobody besides intel and AMD can make x86 chips.

Pretty much anybody can ask ARM to get a license to make ARM chip.

Sure Macs have special chips in addition but that is true for their intel offerings as well. You have never been able to just plop an AMD chip into a Mac so it is not like that choice ever meant anything to consumers.
It would require forgoing any kind of serious trials to determine the efficacy and safety of the vaccine.
