But the higher end "many" core CPUs (especially outside the Intel universe cough AMD) with much higher TDP are still achieving much higher overall performance. Apple still has to catch up to them in those markets.

Did you see the AnandTech review of the Mac mini with the M1?
The M1 undisputedly outperforms the core performance of
everything Intel has to offer, and battles it with
AMD’s new Zen3, winning some, losing some. And in
the mobile space in particular, there doesn’t seem
to be an equivalent in either ST or MT performance
– at least within the same power budgets.

What’s really important for the general public and Apple’s
success is the fact that the performance of the M1 doesn’t
feel any different than if you were using a very
high-end Intel or AMD CPU. Apple achieving this in-house
with their own design is a paradigm shift, and in the
future will allow them to achieve a certain level of
software-hardware vertical integration that just hasn’t
been seen before and isn’t achieved yet by anybody else.

And for many people, right now Apple systems just are not an option. Not until all software and games run without issue. Software is a near certainty - games remain to be seen, but Apple has not prioritized them in the past. (And while the M1 integrated graphics are great, they are not at all competitive with existing dedicated graphics, and will not be suitable for replacing gaming systems.)

AnandTech's section is called "M1 GPU Performance: Integrated King, Discrete Rival" which should tell you what's up. Spoiler—it's more than competitive with dedicated graphics and certainly none of them can touch it when it comes to power consumption. And remember, this is the *low-end chip; wait until what we see in the next generation.

Finally, putting theory to practice, we have Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Released in 2016, this game has a proper Mac port and a built-in
benchmark, allowing us to look at the M1 in a gaming scenario and
compare it to some other Windows laptops. This game is admittedly
slightly older, but its performance requirements are a good match
for the kind of performance the M1 is designed to offer. Finally,
it should be noted that this is an x86 game – it hasn’t been ported
over to Arm – so the CPU side of the game is running through Rosetta.

At our 768p Value settings, the Mac Mini is delivering well over 60fps
here. Once again it’s vastly ahead of the 2018 Intel-based Mac Mini,
as well as every other integrated GPU in this stack. Even the 15-inch
MBP and its Radeon Pro 560 are still trailing the Mac Mini by over 25%,
and it takes a Ryzen laptop with a Radeon 560X to finally pull even
with the Mac Mini.
Hydra would have been a better name.
Yep. Service providers didn't ramp up their investments at all into telecom equipment providers during covid, which is impressive. They just had good capacity that was never fully used. They're going slowly on the whole 5G thing now as they don't expect customers to be ready for massive price hikes to their plans. Ultimately the capacity of customers (individuals and businesses) to pay is what drive those investments, regardless of how much everyone claim to need ever increasing bandwidths.
Stocks. Weather. News. Maps (has a unique ID across multiple interactions to serve as explicit telemetry). App Store (sends device serial). TV (sends device serial). iMessage (sends device serial).

Telemetry doesn't imply intent. Many things serve great as telemetry that aren't intended to be such. There's no way to limit the way the raw data collected can be mined later, offline.

Well, in a free market you are free to sell your stuff to people with political connections as well or have long lines, if you prefer that.

Selling to whoever is willing to pay the most is just one possibility.

For social reasons, many people even prefer queues to flexible prices.
i recently sat down over a weekend and did the same after realizing that i should hammer out something i can use for myself - it dawned on me the work i thought i might be saving with frameworks was offset by the work i'd wind up doing to them - having to go through and cut out all the stuff i wound up not using, changing defaults to things i like etc.

i think a part of that was also realizing what drew me to frameworks initially was less about styling and more about the grid or flexbox etc scaffold - the most daunting part for me to this day. creating my own set of base templates helped me learn quite a bit about grids though, and now when stuff breaks i can tackle it with more confidence in where to look for the issue and how to go about fixing it.

that being said, i'm not anti-framework or anything - i relied on them alot as i learned CSS, and even now i still treat them like something akin to styleguides or catalogs of what's new/trending in webdesign
So this is just discrete convolution but continuous time convolution AFAIK has no intuitive explanation.

The general idea is there is a sense of taking mathematical operations as having not just numbers and variables and outputing another number or variable... but that operations can take any number of anything and output any number of anything. The Fourier Transform takes in a function and outputs another function, which you can put meaning on it or you can just "nod and continue" (which is often easier instead of trying to put some words on abstract concepts).

Some "ideas" you can use to analyze the situation are concepts learned in things like linear algebra like abstract vector spaces, basis, eigen-whatever... and so on.

In the case of the continuous time convolution, it just turns out there is a magical thing associated with something called a Dirac Delta function with certain properties that are important for various things in controls engineering.

Kinda feels like a piece of turd that refuses to evacuate but I just stopped caring about "intuitive" explanations.

> Of course it is. Our phones are intimately close to us. Physically, cognitively, socially and even emotionally. They may be the most widely-owned intimately-connected object humans have ever invented outside religion.

"Phone" =/= "UI"

but that said, I'm actually puzzled as to how "fashion" plays such a central role in your model of human society. Even if UI was the fetish object (which it is not) in what sort of cultural matrix does the core fetish object mutate constantly "like fashion"?
It supports NEON like most phone CPUs. The new thing for a desktop is sharing memory for the CPU and GPU with a much faster bus instead of having the GPU sit on a slower bus with its own fast memory, so if your workload can benefit from using the GPU, you don't have to worry about host to device transfer.

While it's tragic and infuriating, it just shows how powerless people of Iran are against their orthodox authoritarian government. I feel their government's atrocities against them should not be used as an excuse to deny knowledge to their people or to justify such denial by other governments. The logic of such sanctions against people until they "overthrow their government" is shaky.
When my internet connection is down I get 99% sometimes from Netflix. I typically use the PS4 client so maybe that’s the difference.
Typical desktops have 2 64 bit dimm into 2 channels (64 bits wide each) or 1 channel (128 bits wide).

The M1 Mac's seem to be 8 channels x 16 bits, which is the same bandwidth as a desktop (although running the ram at 4266 MHz is much higher than usual). The big win is you can have 8 cache misses in flight instead of 2. With 8 cores, 16 GPU cores, and 16 ML cores I suspect the M1 has more in flight cache misses than most.

Human judgement. A manager stupid enough to be worse at evaluating engineers than metrics are would struggle to keep himself fed and warm, and is therefore not a realistic threat.
Exactly! The biggest problem with most progress bars is that they tie together multiple unrelated things that aren't even measured in the same way to a single indicator.

If there are multiple independent tasks, give me multiple independent indicators of their state. Multiple instances of the same class of task can of course be grouped, you don't need to list every file copy independently, but a file copy and an external dependency installer shouldn't be two stops on the same progress bar.
Are you arguing that all donations are pointless because you can't know for a fact exactly what your particular dollars are spent on? If you just meant "not all nonprofits are perfect, make sure you do your research", I think that's common sense that doesn't really need to be said here.
The alternative is to not create them in the first place for some stupid PR stunt. How is that not obvious?
Men swipe more = Women get far more choices.

The natural inclination based on this alone would be to be picky.

This will then set up other second order and third order effects.
These progress bars lie because they don't represent what the user thinks - either intentionally or from poor UI design.

I like MS Windows 10 "file transfer over a network" progress bar (though the pause button seems iffy...). The "hopes and dreams" simple progress bar is labelled factually and can't be accused of lying. And more information is available upon request and is simply factual.

A lot of work for a simple case of transferring files though. Much easier to default to the boring progress bar and some 0% to 100% assumptions to abstract things away so the "dumb user" doesn't have to worry...
(NOTE: I hate the seemingly persistent concept of "dumb user" that so many people have.)

If your users have worries about your application performance to the extent that you are required to address them, then 90% of the time a dumb progress bar isn't the full answer. It may be an answer that makes management or user testing groups happy, but perpetuates the lie the article addresses.

Edit: snipped crap and added caveat note.
Yes. These /BRR contracts trade on Globex like most other futures contracts, meaning around-the-clock (23/5) trading. Liquidity is fine for single contracts in the front month -- bid/ask spreads are one to three ticks, and you won't have any problems getting filled. If you're trading tens of contracts, you're going to move the order book somewhat, but I'm assuming your volume isn't at that level. Like any other tradable instrument, you run the risk of slippage in volatile situations, e.g. a stop loss hitting during a big liquidation event. Since you appear to be willing to hold a short position for a long time, this shouldn't be an issue for you.

Exchange (that is, Globex) availability hasn't ever really been an issue (and I can't remember the last outage they had; it'll be a big deal, considering there are literal trillions in notional value swapping hands every day). Your broker, which will be your gateway to actually trading the contracts, will be the bottleneck of availability.

I personally use Interactive Brokers, and their uptime is great. Even during times of extreme volatility this year across many markets, which caused the likes of Robinhood or even more established brokers like TD Ameritrade to experience downtime, IBKR has been fine. Obviously your mileage may vary and I suggest you do your due diligence on brokers.

For what it’s worth, there’s a good amount of content in the article that I found interesting for my purposes operating Postgres on RDS.
Yes, it applies to everything which uses atomics and is not something special in the runtime. It's also worth noting that this is an optimization that iphones have had for the last few years ever since those switched to arm64.
Disclosure (I used the right word!): I work at AWS. Opinions are my own.

This is a nice article with some fun comparisons and important details around the specifics of operating TiDB and systems like it on AWS. If I were running a replicated database such as TiDB, hypothetically of course, I'd probably opt for an instance type with locally attached storage. EBS volumes are already replicated themselves for durability so if you're running a replicated DB on EBS volumes then you're going to be replicating while you're replicating. Yo dawg. That's going to be some extra latency, even with a majority quorum replication protocol like Raft.

Historically if you wanted locally attached SSDs the more expensive storage instance types like i2/i3/i3en were all you had but now there's m6gd, c6gd, and r6gd[0]. Lots of options at all sorts of price points for your workload. The Graviton 2 based m6gd instances with local NVMe SSDs are more cost effective than the m5 instances that the blog post is using, which do not have a local SSD.

As the post calls out, if you are going to use EBS then use it for the materialized key-value store portion. Maybe even make a little Step Function to snapshot the EBS volumes to figure out where you can safely trim the Raft log at. It could be nice.

The government does not have infinity resources. At the very least, they are limited by something like available total GDP.

Borrowing or taxing just lets the government control more of that GDP pile, it doesn't create any extra goods out of thin air.

(Economists have a concept of 'economic slack', that is how much extra output there could be if there was more nominal spending happening before inflation kicks in. But there are typically talking about something like 10% at most, not orders of magnitude. And a reasonably competent central bank makes sure to print enough money so that this extra spending is happening.)

You are right however, that much government spending seems extremely inefficient.

In any case, government handed out stuff ain't free. At least you always have opportunity costs.

That explains a iOS vs Android difference (ARC vs Garbage Collection), but it doesn't explain the article (and Gruber's) apparent argument that Apple Silicon machines running native ObjectiveC/Swift code use less memory than the same apps natively built via ObjectiveC/Swift code on Intel running the same OS (but different machine code obviously).

They're bad for accessibility. Don't work with screen readers . Hard to make out for people without perfect vision. Harder to type out.

Bottleneck for swap in/out must be SSD, not memory. Also its SSD isn't fast compared to other NVMe SSDs in both throughput and IOPS. Possibly latency is great thanks to integrated SSD controller onto M1 but I don't think it changes the game.

You can buy your way to the front of the line.
Don't kick yourself. Versus the MBP16: RAM is capped, USB-C ports are scarce, GPU is not discrete, software compatibility is still thin, and screen resolution is less. Not to mention you have better speakers on your machine.

I have a top of the line MBP13 delivering in mid-December. I could cancel the order at any moment, but I'd rather have ports, software compatibility, and RAM.

M1 may benchmark well, but it isn't an EMP that magically disables every Intel machine on the face of the planet.

I'm excited to see what happens when Apple rolls out its own silicon for the higher-end MBP devices.
I understand Apple's likely concerns about encouraging distracted driving. As a cyclist and motorcyclist I take distracted driving seriously and don't actually watch youtube videos while driving (just listen).

My issue with this argument though is that the cat is already out of the bag- by blocking youtube on a larger screen, and similarly not allowing Siri to play youtube via voice commands Apple may claim they are doing it for safety, but in reality all is does is make people manually fiddle with their phone or watch a video on a smaller screen. I just don't believe there is any real world safety benefit to the paternalistic blocking.

The part that's not mentioned is that there's no real latency guarantee on these IOPS. If you're running a database that has to do a few data dependent reads (eg. walking a B tree), then these can add up quickly if latency spikes to dozens of milliseconds (eg. this datadog blog post [0]).
