> contrary to the popular belief in the US, doctors can be fairly un-intellectual. The main requirement to do well in their career is to rely on rote memorization (go check out on YouTube how Anki is so important/popular among med school people).

I agree with everything in your comment, but this is one of the most important ones. This is actually the basis upon which my cocky little 17-year-old self decided he wanted to study math instead of medicine, contrary to the pressure my family was exerting: the idea of turning my brain into a file drawer was somewhere between horrifying and nauseating. I point-blank asked my brother-in-law at one point (he was around ~30 at the time) how someone as intelligent as him was satisfied with going into a field as unchallenging as medicine, and he was on exactly the same page as me: over the course of his medical education (started the same year as my sister), he also got an MBA and has started on a PhD, because being a GP would be immensely dissatisfying to his intellect. If you have a sense of yourself as fairly intelligent, it is _absolutely crucial_ for your health as a patient interacting with the healthcare world that you internalize that doctors aren't necessarily that smart (though of course, some are!).

This isn't an insult! Most professions are filled with people that aren't that smart. But putting yourself blindly in the hands of an imagined omniscient without being an informed and opinionated advocate for yourself as a patient is foolhardy and dangerous, and you'll quickly discover the costs, if you're self-aware enough. If you have a doctor who buys into the God Complex and scoffs at the notion of a patient having an opinion, then you're double-fucked, and should definitely get a new doctor.

This can be a delicate balance, and the doctors I know are quite fairly annoyed at the patient who does his own research (often poorly) and argues with them on the basics. "Knowing what you don't know" is an important part of being informed. Just 1) find a doctor who understands his limits and 2) approach the conversation as a meeting of mutually-interested peers logically discussing a problem (your health): one who has substantial headstart on the intimate, sometimes-inarticulable details of the problem, and one who has a substantial headstart on general research that's relevant to the problem.

> This is true of nearly every industry, though.

Yes, I think this is implied by the portion of my comment that you quoted. The claim that _any_ industry is immune to incentives is what I describe as "pants-on-head stupid".

I've also read every Scott post shortly after its posting for probably the past 8 years, but I appreciate the share!

I do agree that Big Sur’s current UI is a mess.

When I installed a beta of Big Sur this summer, at first I was taken aback by the interface… and some of the application icons were pretty bad.

Now that Big Sur is my daily driver and it's more polished, I've grown to like the new interface—and I didn't think I necessarily would.

Due to how DRAM works the array itself cannot have more than one port and almost certainly even the DRAM chip as a whole is still some variation of single ported SDRAM (long time ago there were various pseudo-dual-ported DRAM chips, but these were only really useful for framebuffer-like applications). But given that there are multiple levels of cache in the SoC it is somewhat moot point.
The "new" guidance was issued over 6 months ago...

Underestimating supply and overestimating demand is good engineering esstimation practice. Surprises tend to occur in the other direction.

With the shift from fossil fuels, additional electrical demand from heating, cooking, and transport demands can be expected. I'd have to re-read the book to see if MacKay accounts for these otherwise.

Starting with a value for a "moderately affluent" household also builds in the prospect for a general wealth increase, and forestalls opposition based on assertions he is locking in an austere lifestyle, a commmon tactic of opponents to renewable / decarbonised energy.

I haven't tracked PV efficiency trends lately, but recall generally that high teens is fairly typical. A vendor page supports this:

The highest efficiency solar panels on the market today can reach almost 23 percent efficiency. The average efficiency of solar panels falls between the 17 to 19 percent efficiency range.

https://www.solar.com/learn/solar-panel-efficiency/

For single-layer panels, the maximum theoretical efficiency (never practically obtained) is 37%. Far more expensive multi-layer panels peak at ~85%, and in practice, results are well below 50%. Dual-mode (PV-thermal) systems offer greater net capabilities, though the thermal output is limited to low-grade heat, e.g. hot-water pre-heat or seasonal thermal storage as with Passivhaus. Not inconsequential, but not makjickal pykxsie duste either.

An effective 10% efficiency net of shading, spacing factors, degradation, dirt, inverter losses, and other factors is quite reasonable.

MacKay's nuclear advocacy is remarkably sober and low-key in a world where proponents freqquently tend to be strident and shrill. I am not a fan of the technology (and take it you aren't either), but his portrayal is a realistic and respectful one.

Apologies for misspelling MacKay's name repeatedly above. HN's limited edit window is annoying.

Problem with just logging the progress is that the user has no idea where he "bottom" is. A log might as well be a spinning cursor or any other animation.

It's pretty simple, if it costs you 1 dollar to mine a bitcoin and someone (the market) wants to buy that bitcoin for 2 dollars, that cost is worth it.
It doesn't matter what that cost is, if it's 1 dollar in energy or 1 dollar in wages or whatever, it costs $1 and you sell by $2, you profit, the cost was worth it.
Even worse than not conveying information, it diminishes your user's trust in your product if they realise the progress bar is bullshit.

Do you use other metrics instead?

My take on this is without metrics it's all subjective which is in many ways worse. Everyone, including your team managers have biases. Do they make decisions based on feelings rather than data?
Sorry, I mean my x86 machine has improved in performance with the upgrade to Big Sur.

The M1 MBA (16gb RAM) feels snappier and more responsive in almost every way to my Mac Mini w/64gb of RAM. RAM usage is also noticeably lower on the M1 when I migrated my browser tabs over (500+ between Firefox and Safari).
Probably off-topic but Blaine Garst’s writing style is super engaging and fun.
The stopwatch consistently proves it takes less time than using the keyboard. Apple's HCI research showed that people "lose" the time it takes to hunt and acquire the keyboard shortcuts.
Do you really think the M1 future is looking rosy for Linux?

I think fairly soon, we'll have Linux running nicely on Apple Silicon Macs, using the hypervisor built into macOS. And it will run faster than comparable Intel machines.

Apple gets the importance of Linux and Docker for developers; I'm pretty sure it'll get worked out.
I think your comment is oversimplifying a little, and I'm generally not a fan of the "woke" take on most things (to the point that I'm glad HN has come around in the last couple of years...), but I admit I'm surprised to see this downvoted so heavily.

It seems trivially true that a relationship in which _techne_ is overesteemed relative to _metis_ is one in which those farther from society's average would suffer more, if only because _techne_ would be less representative of them.
I have absolutely asked users to give me an rr[0] trace of my program when there was an issue. I'm honestly considering shipping it in an embedded (not in the lightweight sense) project at work so that if any problems arise I can easily debug it away from it.

The last time the i7-7700HQ was sold in a Mac was for the mid-2017, 15" MBP. The current gen (late-2019) base model 16" MBP uses a i7-9750H.

Single core performance is ~17.5% better and multi-core performance is ~51.2% better than the 865. The numbers are still surprisingly close given that the Snapdragon uses significantly less power.

Do you consider the energy spent mining gold a waste? This electricity is necessary to mine bitcoin. It is the same principle.

The complaint is usually that doctors are overly reductive towards overweight people, treating their weight as a hard-blocker to listening to any other problems that can potentially be treated (or palliated) in parallel.

I can't speak to its veracity, as I'm not privy to the medical history of anyone I know who's overweight.

But what do you even mean "run out"? This is what I don't get.

If you have multiple browsers with hundreds of tabs, the majority of those tabs are probably swapped out to your SSD already.

With swapfiles and SSD's, physical memory is less and less relevant except when you're performing very specific computational tasks that actually require everything to be simultaneously in memory -- things like highly complex video effects rendering.

How do you measure "running out" of your 24 GiB? And what happens when you do "run out"?
I’d think the bigger win would have to be in the release part of the code, which actually cares about contention.
I've made the "yes, we know this is speculative" rant in another post. Here I assume you're still interested in moving forward with the speculation. If not, please don't belabor the point.

There is a substantial body of abiogenesis experimentation focused on reproducing DNA/RNA proto-life. They haven't managed to make anything that self-replicates, but they have managed to make nucleic acid polymers with catalytic activity, e.g. you zap the primordial soup with lightning, you get a bunch of short sequences, some of those sequences fold into RNA-zymes that catalytically produce long "AAAAAAAAA" sequences or long repeating "AUAUAUAU" sequences. The critical next step is to demonstrate the ability to do this from a template.

In any case, are you aware of research that aims to do this with alternative polymer chemistries? Such results could inform our speculation about the likelihood of a fundamental 1000x difference.
Systems thinking is important here.

The majority of people, the majority of the time, are some combination of lazy, stupid, and greedy.

Isolated efforts to be moral and wise don't move the needle substantially.

Seems like you have a reverse purchasing problem...

i.e you are buying solutions in search of problems to solve, instead identifying a problems, then purchasing a solution

That's like saying "there will be another concert down the line". People buy consumer electronics to buy the experience of using them (especially gaming-related) - and using them now, not 3 months after an anticipated game turns to an old memory. Add to that the holiday season, where gifting it now has even more meaning, and it gets worse.

> The upshot was Cablevision was an exceptional ISP (let me run a server out of the apartment as part of the written TOS, which was incredible), but it was still slower than FiOS.

This is no longer the case since Altice purchased cable vision/optimum. They jacked up the prices and Andy reduced quality of service.

It's an interesting concept, indeed.

I think it would be really neat if all the screens were mounted with some form of a clever "multimonitor mount arm" kind of setup - it could have a really flat version of that in the back, such that when the laptop is opened, the screens' individual position could be adjusted along multiple axes.

One thing that I do notice about this design, however, is that the screens are all different sizes and are assembled a little bit haphazardly - I wonder if the screens were more uniform in size, and the aesthetic design more clean-looking, the unit would be less visually distracting and allow the user to focus more on the screen content, similar to the look of a homogenous array of monitors.
I had an 8" or so laptop that was wonderful. Perfect size for travelling, and since it was a proper x86 running normal Windows it ran normal software and old games worked perfectly. Nowadays there isn't enough that my phone doesn't do to justify carrying a second device, but at the time it was brilliant.

The thing is that we are always told there is evidence, like for sure, trust us:

Assad bombed his own people

The Russians hacked the election (a very broad statement, like “let’s believe in evolution”)

North Korea hacked SONY

All at very convenient times for our moves abroad and totally nonsensical from the point of view of motivation of the ones doing it (like Assad)

It’s like they don’t even try anymore. They just say “17 intelligence agencies all concur” with each other.
Even Windows 3.11, NT 3.51 did this... and my Atari ST... probably windows 1.0 even because a mouse was not always guaranteed to be attached and/or working on early PC's. In my case in the mid 90's I remember I sacrificed the serial port the mouse was attached to run another modem for dial-in access to our officer on NT 3.51 server... THAT tought me fast how to get around a windows desktop with the keyboard - and it impressed me you could access everything - switching windows, menus, etc without getting "stuck" . With a mac, your computer would be useless, or at best infuriating (ie using some plug in to slowly nudge the pointer around the screen with arrow keys....)

Especially if the margins allow them to not engage in silliness on the software side of things like violating privacy and serving ads in the OS.

There are certainly places that Apple can be criticized, but I think in these two areas they're acting pretty well.
Optimization isn't about focusing on the largest resource consumer, but on the most reducible. (Note that this makes your statement basically tautological)

And given that China's main problem is its population (which is basically impossible to reduce much more right now and they're still dealing with negative side-effects from their effective but not-very-nice One Child policy), not it's emissions per person, China doesn't have as much to reduce. Whereas if the US lived at China's level of emissions per capita, then the world's total greenhouse emissions would drop by over 10%.

Ask HN: Raspberry Pi 400 as media PC?
I'm thinking pretty seriously about getting some sort of media center pc set up for the kids (preschool age) to watch shows on. Currently they have just commandeered my wife's laptop since she uses her phone almost exclusively these days.

Part of me thinks staying with a fully functioning computer is the way to go, and that the new Raspberry pi 400 keyboard pc thing might be a good fit for that.

And then part of me thinks I should just get a roku and call it a day.

Either way I'd have to buy a monitor. I could also just get a smart tv I suppose, but I really don't care for TVs with all the "smarts" built in.

Thoughts?

In spite of Moyer being CSO for Apple, I hadn't realized that Apple Corporation was paying the bribe!

You are right that with the company directly involved, there are more options, and it was my misreading/skimming of the article which led me to the wrong conclusions, there.
Yep, and to a great degree, Apple has mostly been behind the curve in technology advancements, just good with the marketing, build quality (necessity if you want to market yourself as fashion) and most importantly, timing.

I'll give them the Apple silicon, but remember the iPhone X's advertising? "We've always wanted a phone that was all screen." Guess what, Android has been that way all along. High-end Samsung, Xiaomi, HTC phones were always that way. Apple just marketed it.

Now that Pixel 5 got rid of the notch entirely, expect the iPhone 13 to have that too. Just that Pixel didn't care to actually market it. You bet Apple will.
assuming you're referring to https://www.asktog.com/TOI/toi06KeyboardVMouse1.html, I find this dubious for a number of reasons and would like to see Tog's methods and data. for example if I want to cycle through undo, I can hold down command and hit Z and shift-Z as many times as I want, as quickly as my fingers can press the keys. acquiring the menu item for this over and over would get tiresome quickly. similarly with opening new tabs and switching between them. I suspect his data only holds for inexperienced users using typical shortcuts in typical applications, not for expert typists who spend all day with their hands on the keyboard. the amount of complicated text manipulation I can do at speed with keys in emacs and vim would be absolutely infeasible if I were clicking through some massive menu.
From what I have read they can deploy nearly arbitrarily amounts of satellites with nearly linear cost increases. They can’t really adjust density for specific areas very well, but total bandwidth is highly variable over time. Publicly they have stated 10% of local Internet traffic, in high-density cities as their benchmark, that’s likely an economic not technical limitation based on the percentage of time a satellite spends over dense cities vs rural areas etc.

Anyway, it’s really not a question of total bandwidth so much as any meaningful competition stopping the most egregious abuses. Assuming they can reach even 1/2 that it’s still plenty to provide stiff competition in midsized cities, suburbs, and rural areas which are generally the most problematic areas.
This is why I was excited for Facebook Dating. Although I don't really like Facebook as a company, they don't really have this problem. If two users meet on Facebook dating and form a LTR then it's unlikely to make them leave Facebook.
Seems pretty obvious that some future Macs will have touch screens or larger iPads will run MacOS.

Probably not. Apple has said they've prototyped touch screen Macs and from a UI/UX perspective, it doesn't really work. They've recently downplayed touchscreen Mac talk recently [1].

What Apple has shown is iPadOS becoming more like macOS, supporting a keyboard and a mouse instead of the other way around.

I have a 2-in-1 Surface on loan and it's not particularly good at being a laptop or a tablet because of the design tradeoffs that have to be made. Apple is unlikely to make such a device unless there's some kind of UI/UX breakthrough.
