I think you're getting downvoted just because you said "you are wrong", when the rest of your comment, though a little grumpy, isn't that far from the truth.

UIs are definitely fashion. We're going round and round in circles and things aren't getting better, IMHO.
> A task like editing 8K RAW RED video file that might have taken a $5000 machine before can now be done on a $699 Mac Mini M1 or a fan-less MacBook Air that costs $999

That’s insanely great. Maybe I am exaggerating but Apple’s M1 might be the best innovation in the tech industry in the past 5 years.
I once worked on warehouse picking software. I implemented these types of metrics, put it right on the bottom of the screen for each picker and it showed an aggregate of the whole picking team. Before the end of the quarter, productivity soared because the picking teams ended up competing and figuring out how to game the system. It was rather entertaining.

The 100Mbps bandwidth cap is not great, but at least it is not 50Mbps like on the Oracle Cloud free instances (which they do not mention anywhere and customer support will play games with you just not to admit it).
I worked in academia, and there were a few old NeXT machines around. I said, I'll collect these! None of them worked, but I figured my little office had enough space to give them a new home. A few other people had them, saw I was keen, and gave me theirs. I ended up with a cube and two slabs. Never got them to work.

Found out that another colleague had a few of them in a storage closet, and had aspirations of cobbling them together to make a working one. I gave him the machines.

He went on vacation, someone cleared out the closet, and fucking recycled them all. When he came back he was livid. I still feel the loss.
Thank you AWS. I think they just saved me $85K.
who cares if they use ocaml or punch cards? i give zero shits about their tech. i care about getting paid properly, having my own office to work quietly and have work/life balance, and generally having no daily drama.
I love the take! A mounted bracket to hold the mac mini would probably make more sense...

Inset keyboard and trackpad may not be the most ergonomic. But boy does it look clean. I will look into a more one size fits all approach.
Tiger Lake matches M1 in single-core perf, but gets trounced in multi. AMD has some good options, but I haven't seen a thin&light style AMD based laptop come out yet.

Check out System76, their Linux support is unparalleled. The lemur pro is interesting. I don't know if you'll find the specs for the screen/speakers, though.

I got the XPS 13, myself, but it still requires 'tweaks' - like running thermald master so your system doesn't throttle down too much after a short 'boost', and running kernel 5.10 because it allows your CPU to enter the PC10 power-saving state (Ubuntu's oem-5.8 may have this backported, I haven't checked).

As always, install your favorite user-agent spoofer as well. I just ran into a problem with some web videoconferencing software that works fine, but you have to tell it your running Win/Chrome.

This is why people say desktop Linux isn't here yet. It kinda is, but only if you're an expert (or want to be forced to become one)... I still love it, though, and always will.

You can outsource it. Better yet, set up a startup to offshore it. Or - ding ding! - AI it, providing Virtual Work as a Service.

Jane Street doesn’t tell you where their features come from. Some can be from data sources that cost millions per year. And you would still need to figure out what transformations they did to generate the features in the first place.
Extremely low memory latency is another. It's also has 8 memory channels, most desktops have 2. It's an aggressive design, Anandtech has a deep dive. Some of the highlights, lower latency cache, larger reorder buffer, more in flight memory operations, etc.

twenty four

Genuine question: how does one keep 24 logical fallacies in mind when evaluating arguments? Do you mentally iterate through all these fallacies?

Don't get me wrong: they are very valid and I think they will make me better and my arguments better. I just want to understand how people without photographic memories do this.

Tagged pointers are an officially accepted thing in ARM -- the relevant feature is called top-byte ignore (TBI). It only applies to the upper 8 bits of a pointer, leaving 56 bits for addressing.
I have a friend who had a bot that was front running users when the Kraken trading engine was much slower....his bot stopped working when Kraken updated the engine though.
Ups, my word back! Just quickly skimmed.
While you're getting rightfully downvoted (although I won't join in), it's worth underlining how much "they have always advertised and placed themselves as such" is utter nonsense. Apple has always advertised functionality and performance of their products, even when the case was (charitably) pretty shaky. They advertised their PowerPC Macs that way, up until the point they couldn't, then advertised their Intel Macs that way. Now they're advertising their ARM Macs that way. They proudly advertised their moves to 64-bit CPUs. They proudly advertised to consumers how cool it was that OS X was "Unix certified." Repeat: to consumers.

Yes, Apple is super conscious of design, occasionally to an obvious fault, from "butterfly" keyboards back through the G4 Cube. But they've absolutely always been interested in aiming for seriously high-end machines, from all of the Mac Pro incarnations all the way back to oldies like the Mac IIfx.

I hope other people make competitive silicon, too. I want Linux around and high-performing, and it's still a bit of an open question what the future holds for development environments on ARM-based Macs. But it is just so wearying for people who are otherwise technically literate to still be trotting out "Apple has never cared about anything but looks" after literally decades of obvious counter-examples.
Starlink will cost "over $10B" to build and will cover essentially the whole world. The FCC is getting ready to award $16B in rural broadband subsidies just for 10M people.
>Chrome runs insanely fast! Alas,
What hardware you were using before? I am using MBP retina 2013 and chrome loads and run fast. Browsing was never a bottleneck except few heavily bloated (ads and stuff) pages. I have noticed chrome can slow down on few windows machine with poorer hardware(which is the case of 90% of windows laptops).

Sounds like some form of GDDR instead of plain DDR. Not only faster, but I bet simultaneously accessible from both the CPU and GPU.
Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about prototype! I also used Dojo heavily at one of my college internships. Ancient history in javascript-land. :)
Nice honeypot to collect hacker news readers emails :D
It is a simple process, everything that you do in a language needs to be mapped into lower level instructions.

If the lower level hardware instruction does not exist, you use multiple of other instructions to emulate that.

If you add a low level instruction that maps a very common high level operation in hardware, you don't need to call 5 to 10 software functions(extremely expensive),each calling lots of opcodes but just can execute a single opcode and works by hardware beings extremely faster.

It is not hard to be better than Microsoft here. From my personal experience and having disassembled lots of their code they always were lazy bastards. They cared 0 about efficiency. Why should they? They had monopolies like Office or Windows giving them over 95% margins. They could just use the money they printed to buy everything instead of competing.

Lisp machines did that (adding opcodes that map the high level language) with the most common Lisp operators. Those machines were extremely expensive, in the hundreds of thousands of dollars because few could afford that. Apple sells in massive scale, in the hundreds of millions of CPUs per year, making this cheap for them.

So way better than a regular Intel CPU, I've heard comparisons with the GTX 1050. Definitely not going to replace a top of the line GPU for ML.
For something ancient like original Unix crypt() with 12-bit salt sure, it's just discouragement. A time-space tradeoff like rainbow tables is only going to be ~4096 times worse to calculate and you can amortize that over just 4096 successful attacks.

But this isn't the 1970s suppose you have 32-bit salt, now you need to use the rainbow table in 4 billion attacks to amortize the extra cost. Hey maybe you can attack every adult in the world?

In reality modern hashes often use 128-bit salt. Now you need to do billions of attacks, for each of the billions of people on the planet, just to keep it only billions of billions of times more expensive than brute force per attack. Or to put it more simply: This prevents the use of rainbow tables.

This is where it's worth pointing out that Apple is an ARM architecture licensee. They're not using a design from ARM directly, they're basically modifying it however it suits them.
Hah! Author here so this would have been the perfect comment to use in my blog :)

And no - CCTV is not widespread at all. There's far more CCTV in the UK than there is in the EU where I live now.

States do indeed issue local IDs. There is no common EU ID card and no common EU passport.

There isn't even a common immigration database for Schengen - although that's planned for 2023. (It was supposed to be 2022, but it's been delayed by a year.)
> "The freedom to swing your arm stops at my face."

Err not really, if you go full swing on someone and you "intended" to stop but they block your arm and punch you in the face, arguably it's your fault. If they kill you with that punch then they would be at fault. The law around freedom is really complex. Freedom in the US isn't limited, it's complicated.

When American's use the word freedom most of them are being dumb. You do have freedoms that are protected, but that doesn't mean what you think is a freedom actually is a freedom.

I'm also going to pick on your example of the restaurant. The staff at a restaurant does get to choose to be there or not, that's a free economy. If the government shuts down restaurants, like they have in some states, then the staff can no longer choose to take on that risk. Everyone gets to choose, but there is also an obligation/responsibility with freedom that people in the USA don't seem to "get".

You are FREE to get a gun, you are then responsible for using it wisely. Lock it up, get trained with it, be safe, and learn when to pull it out. The jerks on CNN who had the rifle and were pointing it at the crowd are a great example of irresponsibility with freedom. They should have never, EVER pointed a gun at someone who did not pose an imminent threat to their person. Back to the punching example, everyone who sees a fake punch can judge HOW fake it was. Did they stop at the nose, did they just jerk their arm, did they go Suuuppppeeerrrrr slow. Those judgements matter in court to show that the person who fought back was being reasonable. The burden of reasonable action is even higher with a knife/gun.

Take free speech for example, you can actually sign away your right to free speech in a contract. There is a commedian who talks about things that are illegal to say. Free speech applies to the press, not to individuals being ass hats.

Anyway, all of that is me saying, freedom in the USA is a slogan, which is dumb. Meme's do not present great arguments, but the freedoms we do have are as well defined under the law as most place. People just don't know them.

I've been a full-time technical writer for ~8 years. These seem like solid guidelines to me.

One trick-of-the-trade that I've learned about diagrams is to avoid hardcoding English text into the diagram if you're working on an internationalized doc site. Instead, insert numbers like "(1)" and "(2)" and then provide a numbered list after the diagram explaining each number from the diagram. This makes the content easier to translate. E.g. if you hardcode English into the diagrams, you've got to translate that diagram for every language or (more realistically) your non-English docs are going to have English text hardcoded into their diagrams. Hat tip to David Friedman for teaching me that trick.

I've sometimes had technical people take issue with analogies precisely because they're not completely technically accurate. When that happens I compromise with them by adding an explicit sentence right before or after the analogy along the lines of "This is just an analogy to help you develop an intuition for the topic. It's not 100% technically correct. See X for technical details."

I think the importance and helpfulness of examples is majorly underrated across docs sites.
They're unregulated, so the answer is "in any way they like".
The frontend world is maturing!

I remember having similar complains in the smaller rails world about a decade ago: every 6-12 months there'd be a new community-favorite gem to accomplish X, where X is any number of common needs: file upload, auth, json serialization, background jobs, etc etc. It was damn frustrating. I had the early-rails equivalent of js framework fatigue! But after a while it quieted down. I wouldn't call it stagnancy and ossification - I'd call it maturity and stabilization. :)
Would be pretty expensive if I sold as is. North of $1500.

Your story is relatable. Most desktops don't think through cabling. Cables management is considered an add-on accessory even though EVERY modern desk has cables. Why aren't cables bettern integrated into desks? This is my response to that.

Ask HN: Applying for jobs as a service
Finding and applying for jobs is super time consuming and tedious. What if there was a service that refined your resume, tailored cover letters, found relevant opportunities, and sent you all the materials on a weekly basis so you could apply for jobs without taking up tremendous amounts of time? The revenue model would be a weekly subscription charge and possibly a small percentage of the salary for a job you land. I realize there are search firms but these typically only cater to senior managers and up. Feedback?
Someone please correct me for the sake of all of us if I’m wrong, but it sounds like Apple is using specialized hardware for “NSObject” retain-and-release operations, which may bypass/reduce the impact on general RAM.

I see non-quant trading methods regularly bashed here, so was wondering if there's any short term traders (< week) on HN?
As this is an eng-heavy crowd would be interesting to hear you story and what kind of analysis you do (not expecting too much detail of course!).
Start by hiring good people that you don't need "legibility" from. Or fire managers who have no real use other than to "read".
Yea it does.
It depends on what kind of media sources you're looking at.

Long form media (like the New Yorker) are generally better at being somewhat exhaustive with their sources. Newspapers...are almost entirely narrative driven but do include the factual description of at least one event around which the stories are based. "Instant" media (e.g. Twitter, TikTok) is even more extreme in being narrative driven.

Because of the time commitment involved in consumption, I suspect that long form journalism won't ever get the audience that other types of media gets.
> It is painfully obvious from your message that you haven't ever been in an executive position

Oh, hang on, it's suddenly occurred to me that you're being so defensive because you're in a similar situation and hoping for the best?

No son, don't rely on "recommendations" or "positive meetings". If it's not in writing, it's worth nothing. Get it written down and fuck the "rising stars" bullshit. If it's worth anything, it's in the contract.

It's a lot +-1 on atomic variables guarded using atomic memory operations (mainly with the Aquire/Release ordering)
on memory which might be shared between threads.

So low latency of the cache to system RAM can help here, at least for cases where the Rc is shared between threads. But also if the thread is not shared between threads but the thread is moved to a different CPU. Still it's probably not the main reason.

Given how atomic (might) be implemented on ARM and that the cach and memory is on the same chip my main guess is that they did some optimizations in the coherency protocol/implementation (which keeps the memory between caches and the system memory/RAM coherent). I believe there is a bit of potential to optimize for RC, i.e. to make that usage pattern of atomics fast. Lastly they probably take special care that the atomic related instructions used by Rc are implemented as efficient as possible (mostly fetch_add/fetch_sub).
That's one opinion. Another ARM engineer who contributed one heck of a lot more to ARM's success (designed ARM7TDMI, Thumb, Thumb2) says RISC-V is great. See at 51 minutes in this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6sh097Dk5k

That's how it's supposed to work, yes. And any software that does that should probably work fine on Apple Silicon, by falling back to the non-AVX path under emulation.

I've seen some poorly behaved Mac software which used AVX instructions without testing for availability. It crashes if run on some older Macs, and it won't work at all on Apple Silicon.

You disable interrupts for the three instructions it takes to emulate the atomic instruction. Which is barely slower than the atomic instruction would be anyway, because both have to read and write RAM, which is the slow part whether it's one micro-sequenced instruction or several standard ones.

Origin of an EPR signal

(PDS: Perhaps all sub-particles have or can possess a magnetic moment, that is, under certain circumstances, they either become or are subject to magnetism, and perhaps this is related to one or more modes of vibration, at one or more frequencies, at one or more very small points (some very minute fraction of a second, again, depending on frequency) in time...)

For example, the spectrum at the right shows that the three 1H nuclei of the CH3 radical give rise to 2MI + 1 = 2(3)(1/2) + 1 = 4 lines with a 1:3:3:1 ratio. The line spacing gives a hyperfine coupling constant of aH = 23 G for each of the three 1H nuclei. Note again that the lines in this spectrum are
