>There's more money changing hands than ever on the web, and plenty of people lining up to do so

I want to know more about this great business going on on the open web that I am unaware of. I hope you are not talking about Craigslist or another established platform having even larger userbase, thus larger amount of money changing hands.

>there are tons of truly open projects being created and maintained this way, I can think of a dozen off the top of my head

Please spell these, I am unaware of any. Yeah O.k. the homebrew developers managed to get enough donations to by Mac mini with M1. Which is sad because it's one of the most popular projects out there, considering the value they provide they should have been able to buy a large boat, not a Mac mini. There are a very few, established projects that can barely sustain part-time donations and there are a couple of platforms that are worth billions who facilitate this. It may work fine when you actually sell the premium closed source stuff(support services for proprietary software development based on the free stuff or personalised nudes in addition to the free nudes).

Also, the free content now comes as a side venture of political campaigns. You are expected to feel the emotions today and go vote tomorrow so that the content creators can recoup their investments once in power.
Apple clearly isn't interested in others offering macOS servers on non-Apple hardware, their licensing practices make that clear. If not to run macOS, AWS customers have no reason to demand M1 cores, and AWS has little reason to want to buy M1 chips over their own designs. And Apple and AWS are not the kind of companies to go in a deep partnership with shared designs etc over something like this.

Your question is hard to answer if you don't give some examples of what you consider "expensive".

Drawing tablets are now cheaper and higher quality than they have ever been. A quick of Amazon shows an "Amazon's choice" of a 6.3x3.9" tablet for 34 USD. That's a bit on the small side, but very usable.

If you are looking at flagship professional-level Cintiqs, sure, they are expensive. But that's like looking at an Apple XDR display and complaining that monitors are so expensive. I'll add that display tablets have multiple drawbacks compared with non-display tablets - nothing major for the occasional user though.
And now we know the real reason for those changes.
Looking at the Wikipedia article for the CoreMark benchmark [0] they are using, it seems to be specially geared towards testing CPUs destined for embedded systems use. So I'm not sure how fair a comparison this is to the M1 which is decidedly not meant for embedded workloads.

Apparently it's "Commutative Supersingular Isogeny Diffie–Hellman," and the tl;dr is that it's a form of post-quantum DH, i.e. DH that is secure against the sort of quantum attacks that current DH systems (i.e. RSA and ECDH) are vulnerable to.

The main problem these days is that people will say anything they want in the name of science and if you even dare to express the slightest doubt you will be called a science denier. It's like science has become a religion and you aren't allowed to express doubt, no matter how contradictory some of those positions may be. Scientific discussion is tolerated, but only if they agree with these viewpoints. If they don't they get "fact-checked" and removed from the internet as soon as possible.

Also, it is pretty ironic how Scientific American is crying about science getting less evidence based and more politically motivated. I don't remember them staying out of politics in the last American election.
I agree a lot with Dijkstra as well, especially when he denounces how childish it is to compare computational processes with physical ones instead of understanding them for what they are (i.e. 'the radical novelty'), but to play the devil's advocate, formal thinking is not how we learn.

I personally find it hard to understand a concept, even in pure math, if I don't understand the motivations that lead to that concept being formulated (not necessarily practical applications, I'm fine with purely theoretical concepts, just why that definition solves a problem, I guess); it's simply too much to ask someone to "get" programming without an intuition of what types of problems it solves.

The fact that more and more people get into programming, even professionally, without proper mathematical fundamentals is another topic entirely.

Computers are simply too powerful and subversive. The powerful and wealthy don't think people should have unrestricted computers. Corporations locking down computers for the sake of copyright is nothing compared to governments cracking down on truly subversive technology such as encryption and anonymization tools.

It's only a matter of time before truly free computers become a thing of the past.

Covid-19 vaccines face a varied and powerful misinformation movement online
I read the article. The specific cases mentioned involved missed instructions, interruptions where the test taker let their seat, or the test taker talking. This seems invasive, an invasion of privacy, and unreasonable. I object to the use of this software. But I really don't think they are doing or even being accused of anything like phrenology. I think it weakens the case against this type of software to make inaccurate accusations like that.
Given the pricing of these instances ($24/day with a 1 day minimum), nobody's going to be deploying their autoscaled k8s clusters on these anytime soon.
I don't understand why people keep making the jump that net neutrality means that ISPs and companies can't come to a deal that makes their websites "work faster."

I'm totally onboard that charging more or less for specific websites is a nasty move, but streaming systems wouldn't be nearly as workable if being able to place hardware in network POPs wasn't allowed.
Well my comment mentioned "random (but TLB friendly)", which I define as visiting each cache line exactly once, but only with a few (32-64) pages active.

The reason for this is I like to separate out the cache latency to main memory and the TLB related latencies. Certainly there are workloads that are completely random (thus the term cache thrashing), but there's also many workloads that only have a few 10s of pages active. Doubly so under linux when if needed you can switch to HUGE pages if your workload is TLB thrashing.

For a description of the Anandtech graph you posted see:
https://www.anandtech.com/show/14072/the-samsung-galaxy-s10p...

So the cache friendly line is the R per RV prange for the 5950X latencies is on the order of 65ns, the similar line for the M1 is dead on 30ns at around 128KB and goes up slightly in the 256-512KB range. Sadly they don't publish the raw numbers and pixel counting on log/log graphs is a pain. However I wrote my own code that produces similar numbers.

My numbers are pretty much a perfect match, if my sliding window is 64 pages (average swap distance = 32 pages) I get around 34ns. If I drop it to 32 pages I get 32ns.

So the M1, assuming a relatively TLB friendly access pattern only keeping 32-64 pages active is about half the latency of the AMD 5950.

So compare the graphs yourself and I can provide more details on my numbers if still curious.

As in biology systems societal systems also become more resilient to the difficulties they encounter, so to put it in your own words is completely possible for Safety Sally to enforce restrictions that do kill more people indirectly in the next 10 years but at the same time save way more people in the next 100 years...

> If Apple makes devices that last so long,

I don't want to back the idea that Apple does make reliable or long-lived devices, although I'm very happy with my 2013 MBP still. I honestly don't know how reliable they are in practice, although they do seem to keep market value for longer than similar non-Apple devices, and they have supported them with software for a long time (my 2013 is still getting updates).

And I would love to be able to add more RAM to my 2013 MBP, which has soldered-in RAM; and I would love if it were easier to replace the battery, and if the SSD were a standard fast kind that was cheap to get replacements for, and if I could have replaced the screen due to the stuck pixel it has due to a screen coating flaw. So I'm not uncritical of the limitations that come with the device.

I'm only disputing your assertion that preventing repair and reuse of parts inevitably generates more e-waste. It's more nuanced than that.

Of course wherever and in whatever ways we can find to repair, reuse and recycle we should.

But there will always be some situations, especially with high-end technology, where repair and reuse needs more extra materials, components, embodied energy and complexity (and subtle consequences like extra weight adding to shipping costs) resulting in a net loss for the environment.

An extreme example but one that's so small we don't think of it is silicon chips. There is no benefit at all in trying to make "reusable" parts of silicon chips. The whole slab is printed in one complex, dense process. As things like dense 3D printing and processes similar to silicon manufacture but for larger object components come online, we're going to find the same factors apply to those larger objects: It's cheaper (environmentally) to grind down the old object and re-print a new one, than to print a more complex but "repairable" version of the object in the first place.

I think most if not all of the non-Wacom brands use UC-Logic digitizers. XP-Pen and GAOMON tablets should be pretty similar in price and capabilities to Huion-brand tablets.

I agree that drivers are definitely a big differentiator. Most of the non-Wacom tablets have OK support on Linux thanks to the DIGImend project but it may be a pain to customize things like frame buttons. Win/Mac you are stuck with whatever driver the manufacturer last made for your specific model.
This is not intended as a desktop part.

I am also dubious, but at least am willing to consider their metric of performance per watt.

We've simplified the architecture, by reducing the number of concepts down to just three: components, bases, and projects. The tool is simpler, gives faster feedback, and a better visualisation of your projects, due to (amount other design changes) switching from Leiningen to tools.deps.

The original version of the tool used:
- Leiningen to compile and build the artefacts
- symlinks to keep the code in one place (but allow for reuse in multiple artefacts)
- "workspace interfaces" (empty component interfaces) to guarantee the decoupling between components

The new version of the tool uses:
- tools.deps to build the artefacts and remove the need for symlinks
- static code analysis to remove the need for "workspace components"
Thanks!

EEMBC is a very poor benchmark for anything but very small embedded workloads (the datasets generally fit in a desktop CPU's L1 cache), but Micro Magic's claims are even more ludicrous. To quote the person in the article (Andy Huang, apparently their advisor):

"Using the EEMBC benchmark, we get 55,000 CoreMarks per Watt. The M1 chip is roughly the equivalent of 10,000 CoreMarks in EEMBC terms; divide this by eight cores and 15W per core, and that is less than 100 CoreMarks per Watt."

Almost every claim in this is wrong. There doesn't seem to be a published score for the M1, but looking at some Intel/AMD CPU scores on the EEMBC website [1] suggests a score of 50K points per core for comparable CPUs like the Ryzen 9 3900X. So the M1 is more likely around 200-300K Coremarks, not 10K. The M1 also consumes around 15W for the entire SoC, not 15W per core. The real Coremarks/watt of the M1 is probably closer to 20K than 100.

Suddenly 55,000 Coremarks per watt for their chip doesn't sound so impressive when you realize the M1 also contains a full LPDDR4X memory controller, GPU, neural net accelerator, etc. and has 10x the IPC even on this extremely simple benchmark...

The first year computer science course that I’m currently assisting at my university has followed a curriculum and philosophy based on the book HtDP by Felleisen et al [1]. The model we follow is called the “design recipe” which teaches students to write the documentation for a function as well as some basic examples and tests, all before writing a single line of code for the function itself. The very first of all these steps is to write the purpose statement which serves to document what a function does. As a teaching tool, it helps the students to organize their thoughts and plan their function before they start.

This book is almost 20 years old. It derives from earlier works such as SICP. The concept of writing a purpose statement before you write any code is not a new idea at all. But it seems to be a very good idea. If you can’t write one sentence describing what problem your function solves then you’re probably not ready to start writing it.

14 months of PAP therapy for me. I was diagnosed with severe SA (40+ events per minute).

Sp02 is useful, but mainly to ensure you're not dipping in o2 from leaks, bad fit, incorrect pressure, etc. It is not a diagnostic tool.

A sleep study can pick up things like restless leg syndrome, central vs obstructive sleep apneas, RERA's, etc.

Regarding the "brain fog" - I know exactly what you're talking about. I've improved mine significantly via:

- Getting extensive blood tests to find any deficiencies. Turns out, I was deficient in vitamin D (really bad) and testosterone (which is produced during high quality REM stage, I believe).
- Taking a boat load of supplements. L-Tyrosine, NAC, too many to list.

Sometimes PAP therapy doesn't fix endocrine issues like testosterone. Going on TRT has been a game changer for both mental and physical improvement.
CoreMark numbers in general are here https://www.eembc.org/coremark/scores.php

Claim they do 11k Coremarks vs an M1's 10k Coremarks. But lots of chips we now know are slower than the M1 are on that list as higher Coremarks. Weird. Gonna ignore this one.
> What is untrue about that?

The fact that they don't need to license technology. They can bring more functionality into the package that they sell to Dell, etc. like they have already done.

> but I think the point they're making is that Moore's law created a situation where you couldn't ramp up frequency anymore because the transistors are so small.

That is not the point they are making. Clock frequencies have not changed since the deep-pipelined P4, but transistor count has continued to climb. Here is what the author, who clearly does not know what he is talking about, said about that:

"increasing the clock frequency is next to impossible. That is the whole 'End of Moore’s Law' that people have been harping on for over a decade now."
The straw man in this case is your mischaracterization of my allusion to authoritarianism with regard to users as a polite suggestion to moderate corporate change.
You wouldn't necessarily use this if you expect to keep all the systems running 24/7; for that, another provider would indeed be better. You'd use this if you want to scale up or down and boot different images on the host. Yes, you have a 24 hour minimum, but that's better than a 1 month minimum.

I'd have loved to have seen mac pros, and virtual instances (subdivided, even if you had to maintain a dedicated host to run them on), but this is still a major quality of life improvement for heterogeneous environments.
That cannot be answered specifically as its distributed in many of small projects, my modest guess will be around 200 millions for development and total 400-500 millions for including all advertising and other marketing campaigns.[ie.

> Consider sometimes people can reach a generally correct conclusion based on incorrect reasoning, interpretation or data. Conversely, sometimes people can reach substantially incorrect conclusions based on correct reasoning, interpretation or data.

I'm worried this one will get lost in amongst all the other good points. Human society has numerous mechanisms (traditions and ethics being the big ones, but also rules and stories) that are there to guide people to make good decisions even if they can't explain why they are good.

Everyone knows lying is bad, for example. But in my experience the behaviour of a lot of people shows they don't actually understand why - I suspect they think it is bad because they fear punishment more than because they understand global optimum equilibriums. It is remarkably common for good ideas to be floating around that people struggle to justify.
