“New little economy” = market

Adam Smith only mentions markets in terms of free labor market

A new little economy, a niche for someone to work on something.

Later he warned against such granular role. Writing such deep division of labor would make humans as dumb a creature of possible. He also suggested protection of equality of condition to avoid monopolizing behavior would be required to control aristocracy

But that part of the story is omitted for “find a widget you like making and stick to it forever.” Easier to keep people in their box if they just stick to being some normalized role.

Of course this made perfect sense to aristocrats whose normalized role was handed to them by deity or unethical law protecting fruits of violent conquest, but whatever, got my iPhone.
Then you simply make an extra small version for small handed people to reach those intervals, if this becomes popular.
While I don't disagree, Apple users also seem to be the fastest to upgrade to new versions of Apple OSes and tech. They're already like 90%+ upgraded to the new macOS, etc.
It’s an emulator too though, right? Otherwise things like Chrome (which has a Javascript JIT) would never work in Rosetta.
BioNTech is not a German/Turkish company. It's a German company, two of whose founders are of Turkish descent.
I was actually always under the impression that MJF was a cocaine user back in the day and that cocaine use had been associated with Parkinson's onset - and I have never in any way thought of this as judgmental. I'm not a big fan of coke, but to each their own.

I don't see how acknowledging that possibility is doing a disservice to an actor I've always had a soft spot for.

Perhaps consider your own projections?

I don't think it's that simple. Often it would be the reverse because the richer people have more options of other places to buy.
And in any case there's no reason they couldn't do that on Intel if they wanted to. IIRC there was some Windows variant back in the day that did this on Intel. Windows 10S, possibly?
Well generally speaking, backups will use about 37-40% of the original size. BlobBackup uses variable length and fixed length block level dedupe and zstandard compression. So you can optimize by adjusting block sizes, changing compressing levels, etc to get things to fit on smaller storage.

>Apple's walled gardens don't solve the maleware problem.

It reduces it to the point of being a non-problem.

Only if they put it there themselves. 99.99% of those "Apple viruses" one hears are just trojans.

And if you stick to the Mac App Store and trusted sources (Adobe, MS, etc), you get close to zero malware, with the ocassional "missed it at Mac App store review" exception that gets stomped on soon.

Possibly naive question but does anyone know if CUDA is supported on the new M1 macs? I think I heard on a podcast last week that eGPUs would no longer be supported, but I can't find a reference.
> What you refer to is actually an "alt right" meme that was invented to discredit free thinking (free thinking requires people to be well-informed) and push an authoritarian and communitarian agenda in which people are more controlled than in a free society.

This itself is a meme, and an extremely popular one at that. I hear it all the time, all over the place.

Did you come up with this idea on your own, via close observation and rational analysis of the highly dimensional, infinitely complex reality that we all live within, including significant interaction with "the alt right" in their natural habitat? Is that the genesis of this idea in your mind?

If so, I wonder how it is that so many people have this very same idea inside their minds. Did they all come up with it on their own, via the same, skilful methodology that you used? If so, I wonder why encountering people who give off the slightest hint that they think in high dimensions with strict logic and epistemology, is so incredibly rare. I've asked easily 100++ people who believe your meme how they know it to be true, and not only have I received no high quality answers, I can't recall if I've ever received any answer that isn't simply a restatement of the original meme itself. (Come to think of it, this is a fairly common pattern that I've noticed when asking the same question about a variety of different memes. Hmmmm, that's interesting!)

Similarly, did the "members" of "the alt right" also arrive at their beliefs via this same methodology? Or in their case, is it just a rumour that was adopted without question, without being subjected to the strict critical thinking process that those who accepted your meme into their minds?

Another relevant question might be: what evidence (current and historic) can the respective sides collectively offer to substantiate their side of the story? And if no evidence can be provided, then from where does the confidence in the correctness of the idea derive? The confidence is there, of that there's no doubt. My question is: where did it come from, or, what is it composed of? Can the one who is in possession of it articulate it in written language? Or, are they maybe "very busy right now".

Some other important questions might be: What is actually True? How might we know, for sure? How many epistemic states are there: two (True/False), or three (True/False/Unknown)? And, what might be the possible consequences if our beliefs happen to be incorrect about some of these things - do the history books provide any lessons on that sort of thing?

> This study says live virus has only been confirmed to be seen for at most 9 days. However, (presumably inactive) virus particles can be shed for months afterwards and can show up as PCR positive.

The paper cites 34 replication cycles as the lower bound to obtain viable viral cultures. Whether a PCR test is reported as "positive" depends on the chosen replication cycle threshold (Ct value). As far as I'm aware, this "magic number" is usually chosen to be 35.

Beyond that, it is possible to do more cycles to demonstrate the existence of trace amounts of PCR fragments, but such a test would not be considered "PCR positive".
>This is a big false dichotomy.

No, it's an actual distinction.

Well, isn't it convenient that most of the information coming out of Germany isn't useful because the bad man had his hands on it? I'm sure in the future historians will also disregard most of the information coming out of Trump supporters as part of the misinformation campaign, conspiracy theories, etc, and only the official narrative will be regarded as valid, because that's how history goes.

They are saying that having an SD port allows people to spend less by using 8-16gb storage cards that are much cheaper than a 128gb M2 SSD.
In many countries the RPi is already a big expense on itself and import taxes and low demand often inflate its price even higher. Same happens to other electronics, combined with the reduce buying power, it all adds up really quick.
> Architecturally it looks like they're sacrificing expandability and raw multiprocessing power (like massively parallel database server multiprocessing) for a single minded focus on laptop chips.

I don't see that there's any hard evidence they're doing that; there's no obvious reason that they can't just shove in more cores for an M1X or whatever (very much Intel's approach these days, say), and they're not (at least technologically) married to the on-package RAM thing.
There's two parts to this issue: one is reverse engineering the Apple driver interface, the other is reverse engineering the third party target hardware interface.

Most vendors of graphics hardware keep their interface secret, but not all. The problem is that the set of hardware that isn't secret won't overlap much with what people have or want to run, which is pretty central to what makes Hackintoshes attractive.
> I don’t think there is anything that suggests Apple is going to stop people from installing Apps outside their App Store. Rather it is about making sure it is easy for regular users to get Apps in a safe manner without malware and Trojan horses.

Sorry but I had to LOL (combined with grey-haired head shaking). I've been a "technologist" for over 25 years. Every time some corporate entity or government body adds similar "security" they trot out this same cliche line. "Oh no no no it's not so we can CONTROL you, is so we can PROTECT you". Yeah, sure buddy.
Sure I guess, you keep telling me I'm not getting it and then misrepresenting what I'm saying so I'm just going to assume you either don't understand or are just having a conversation in bad faith.

I guess your argument is 'your audience is literally everyone and if someone refuses to use a service besides Twitter you should be legally obliged to reach that person even if Twitter wishes to remove your content from it's platform for violations of their content moderation policy', which is absolutely insane to me.

> In the past 3 years I've seen more and more people asking not for an Arm Mac, but for an AMD Mac

I've seen the opposite. The people asking for an AMD mac were always thinking of it as a stop gap. Ever since the iPhone/iPad A series chips started blowing the doors off of benchmarks, people have been clamoring for a mac with a higher tdp A series chip. Now that the M1 is out, we can see why.
The power-sipping, integrated GPU has performance 30% better than a GTX 1050 Ti [1].

The GTX 1050 Ti is still a current, sold product [2], selling for $150 or so USD [3], and consumes about 75-100W in your PC.

We can no true Scotsman this, but that GPU performance is a literal magnitude+ greater than what the majority of users have in their computers (and I am including full desktops in this discussion). The overwhelming majority of users are not paying $500-$1000 for a GPU (now add the 700W+ PSU, and what in effect becomes a space heater), which is the current going rate for the mythical gaming market.

Is it intended for enthusiast gamers who have giant $1000 graphics cards sucking 300W? No, of course not. There is no surprise that Apple didn't send it to a guy who targets that crowd. But for the vast majority of people that chip would represent a pretty significant upgrade over what they currently have.

[1] - Even in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, demonstrated purely given that it was running under Rosetta 2, it did quite decent.

[2] - Current products from EVGA, Gigabyte, ASUS and others feature the GTX 1050 Ti, making it a current product.

[3] - Which is a range, and above, that similar cards sell for. If you can time travel you may be able to get an equal performance level for less, but I lack time travel abilities.
Moving HA from a Pi 3B to an intel Nuc completely transformed it for me. It’s now lightning fast.

There's an extensive section in Hacker's Delight (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker%27s_Delight) that derives 32-bit constants that, when used with 32x32 -> 32 multiplication, produce division by small constants.
Its not even about just pure performance, It is about performance per watt. Intel may catch up with performance but matching performance per watt seems very difficult.
And while I have not seen anything on that subject (yet), a much deeper integration with their Secure Enclave is likely, and it’s very much possible they extended the ISA and take advantage if that internally.

> Apple has been screwed by CPU manufacturers 3 times already

Arguably 4. Motorola abandoned m68k (at least as a desktop route; variants lived on for a very, very long time as an embedded thing). Then Motorola largely abandoned PPC, leaving IBM as the only desktop-y manufacturer. Then, unsurprisingly, IBM fell behind with it. And now Intel.
Shared docs (e.g. GSuite or Office365) help. I rarely mail around documents. And even to the degree that you also have calls, a shared Agenda is a good start.

Personally, I don't much care for using things like Trello or GitHub for non-software tasks and generally resist doiung so.
I believe the Pi’s have had USB boot for a while
> The M1 mac isn't the first ARM based PC, and it's not the first popular one...

However, it's the first popular and heavily backed ARM CPU which can compete with high end x86.

> Most distros and OSS have dealt with the issues on arm already.

I also use a lot of ARM based SBCs for a long time but, running a scientific application fast is not the same thing as booting Linux or making it reasonably performant/stable.

My day job and personal research is involved with supercomputers a lot. So I live in parallel applications / architectures. There are certain scientific applications which run considerably faster in previous generation hardware when compared to current-gen ones, because they're heavily tuned for that generation's memory subsystem latencies and IPC characteristics (fetch, retire capacities and pipeline latencies to be exact). This sometimes implies that the code contains proper hints or hand-tuned asm for speed-critical sections. Eigen is a very good example of this optimization. It optimizes itself during compilation by compiling the architecture optimized paths with hints in the code and help of the compiler.

So, having an ARM CPU which can surpass x86 will make these communities to take note of it. I'm not sure how Eigen performs on M1 for example (will see soon enough), or other software packages which are optimized for x86 extensively.

These software packages will start to get optimizations for M1 or Apple silicon since it's pretty popular amongst scientists due to its POSIX nature and hardware quality.

At the end of the day; yes, it's a glorified Raspberry Pi, but with looks and performance of a supercar, so it'll attract a different kind of user base and development effort.

> Apple's System-on-a-Chip provides additional value-add (e.g. unified memory).

Both AMD and Intel support unified memory on their igp (and AMD at least is working on dGP unified memory).

As I expected.
I'd presume that a node shrink would lead to a significant decrease in power consumption.

>If a given platform has a monopoly over any subset of people, they have a monopoly.

Also, I have to stress that this is just wrong. You just said 'Twitter has a monopoly over the subset of Americans that use Twitter exclusively' but it _doesnt_. Those users can choose to access your content on Facebook, Reddit, email, or anywhere else _with no obstruction_.
> But if it ignores or irritates its users too much there are financial consequences.

I believe they very much know what their users want and are giving it to them

That's why they are so successful.

And what their users want is a device to support their paternalism.

I've never witnessed so many judgments against elderly or people that are a bit of techno illiterate (a bit is enough) as I have in discussions about Apple.

The baseline is always of two types:

- they are easy to operate, so even my [insert moms, dads, granpas etc here] can use them

- I would never let my [insert moms, dads, granpas etc here] use an open device where they can get viruses that then I have to fix (like fixing something for your family is some kind of punishment, they did it for me repeateadly when I was younger!)

And i think it's a bit naive to think that people supporting the idea that Apple knows better are in good faith and are not doing it because they like the control too and to be "influencers" (with many quotes) in their inner circles.

I would never think that my parents who raised me and made me what I am are incapable of understanding basic safety rules on the Internet once explained to them (safety rules that anyway protect them from something that don't kill people, it simply kills the battery of the device)

> Meanwhile you can be sure forums like HN are monitored for sentiment.

I'm sure they do.

One interesting other thing that we can be sure and I didn't think possible is that there are people monitoring this forums as well with enough karma to downvote, that not only downvote your posts in a discussion, but go back to yout history and downvote older posts as well.

It just happened to me, I had posts from yesterday and two days ago downvoted right now by the same people that downvoted me in this thread.

I don't know if HN can do something about it or not, but for starter disallowing voting on older submissions that users have not shown interest on could help (it should be easy to check which submissions users have opened, when, how many times and for how long to establish if they are genuinely interested in the topic)

And for readers unfamiliar with Debian: Debian testing is what other distros would call stable. Debian stable is what you'd pick to run, for example, a nuclear powerplant or the like. Debian testing is probably what you want to run on your desktop system.
Yeah the main difference between borg (and their GUI vorta) and a lot of the other options (BlobBackup included) is the non sftp storage support.

I would have used restic directly as a backend for BlobBackup had it not been for the awful prune operation. Downloads a ton of data everytime, prone to errors, and has to repack blobs. Compression would be nice too but they have nice dedupe so it would have been workable without.
My experience with iMessage has been that the group text continues to function as an MMS group if a member switches OS, even if it was an iMessage group beforehand. Or sometimes someone even sends a one-off MMS at a time that they have cellular reception but no data, and the messaging app still seems to know which group text to put it into.

So I guess my experience is that you don't get kicked out of the group.
I personally believe that it is naive to think that Apple cares what consumers think as they have enough money to take $0 from consumers for say 30 years straight and be fine. They are post-capitalist.

I understand that in an ideal market, a business has to react to demand. That in many industries, if you don't do what the customer wants, the customer leaves.

I do not think Apple operates in that world or by those rules.

Apple doesn't care what you think and they don't care if you buy their products.

Ironically, the only way you might get Apple to change isn't with your wallet, it's with your government. EU notching wins against Apple bad practices on behalf of Apple's European customers that their wallets never won them.
