As an example of this I do wonder if the PC industry realises the bind they’re now in with the Apple and the M1.

We don’t know the unit cost of those parts, but we know from past statements they are a very small proportion of what Intel is charging OEMs for their processors.

Given that the perception has always been that MacBooks are the best built laptops available, but priced at a substantial premium, it’s been fine for a Dell or HP to coast by on lower prices and thinner margins (as long as Apple wanted 30% or so in profit on each unit sold it was easy to compete on price and still make a living).

With the M1, Apple now has the option of competing directly on price while preserving their margin, with a substantially faster machine, that still has the other premium elements (e.g. the aluminium body, the massive trackpad).

I don’t know how any one of their competitors can compete with a similarly-priced device that is faster, better built, and commands much higher residual value down the road.

Maybe I’m being naive but I’d be very worried right now if I were Dell/Lenovo/HP, especially given that Intel doesn’t have a working 5nm process.

It’s even worse for companies like Hynix, given the performance gains from the on-package memory architecture in the M1. AMD are going to have to go down that route now to compete, and that doesn’t leave much room for direct-to-consumer DRAM vendors (although given the questionable histories in that market it may not be the worst thing for the consumer).
Programmers may lose the goodwill of the users, if they ignore them for too long.
Having this project funded also would send a signal to Apple, that there is at least a group of people willing to put some of their money onto having Linux on their hardware and that there is interest, if they would give some support to the Linux project.

> Maybe with the added subpoint that if your urine is often colored, try to drink a little more.

Honest question: why? Are there studies that point to coloured urine as the cause of disease?

It's clear to me that coloured urine is associated with disease (since the body excretes waste products via urine), but not that it can be the cause of it.

Discussing social imbalances, when referring to fiscal concerns of a company in a free-market economy, isn't logical.

You're effectively complaining that capitalism isn't entirely fair. Yes? And?

You're also saying "The US is wealthy, people are paid more there, that's not fair". Yes? What's you're point?

Nothing is entirely fair. Other political and economic systems suck too. So?

Don't conflate "companies paying by a logical, sensible, fair means under a free market economy" with "Turkey is a poorer country, due to social, cultural, historical issues, and therefore, someone 1/2 a world away should help. And not help my entire country, but just give me a few random people, software engineers, more wealth."

If Turkish law, case history, employment law, market and economics was the same, then likely there would be more upward pressure on wages. In other words, the way to "fix" this, is to make Turkey a 100% clone of the US, along with all of its history, and most importantly, with the cultural outlook many have in the US.

But I bet that isn't what a lot of people in Turkey want, is it?

I think it depends on how much you enjoy your work compared to other options available for allocating your time. I had a friend who routinely worked 7 days a week as an intern in technology at a bank. Nowhere near that was expected of him, not even close. Everyone else treated it as a 9 to 5, but he would be online at 3AM on Saturday asking questions on how to do X or whether Y was a good design choice.

Obviously this is an extreme example, but some people just love what they are doing and happen to get paid for it and in this case he was in love with his project.
I see many reasons why this could be a good option.
For example if you moved to SV from far away and have no social boundings.
That's where the point of failure is. Procrastination through finding the right diet rather than throwing science at it (backed up by our health authority here in the UK). It's easy to keep changing and pretending you're doing something than actually doing it and people are lazy and need to fix that first.
You have to know the definition of inflation. Central bankers generally refer to consumer inflation as the measure of inflation they target. It's based on a basket of consumer goods. According to that definition we don't have inflation. I tend to say consumer inflation in my comments to make it less ambiguous.

By that logic asset inflation can actually act as a deflationary force because the relative value of consumer goods shrinks compared to the rest of the economy and the surplus can be used to provide an excess of consumer goods which further drives down prices. Of course this assumes that asset holders are not planning on spending their capital gains domestically. Considering current demographics (the retired own houses but don't spend as much) and globalization (Chinese workers can do your job) it is pretty much assured though.

Anyway. The reason why deflation is bad is highly obvious. Imagine a highly simplified economy consisting of one factory. Some initial event happened that caused demand to go down. The factory has trouble selling its inventory. It lowers its prices over time to attract more customers. People looking to buy the latest gadget just put it off because they can buy it later for even less money. At some point the factory has to close because nobody is buying. Then suddenly everyone wants a gadget but there is no factory.

If you want a business to operate in 2025 then it has to also operate in the years before that. Deflation sets up the exact opposite incentive. It makes sure everything you did in the past cannot be topped in the future without extreme effort. It means your best years are already behind you because there is less money to be made in 2021 than in 2020. It tends to reward hoarders, those who don't need to be productive.

Inflation is the opposite. It makes sure that the future is always brighter than the past. There is more money to be made in 2021 than in 2020. It tends to reward workers, those who do productive work.

The answer to deflationary problems? Give people a reason to work.

It's why we have so many "gig economy" companies. It's nothing new. It's just day labor with some software lipstick applied to it. There is an overabundance of unskilled workers so there must be some way to economically deploy that workforce even if its not enough for a full time position.
Converting unskilled workers into skilled workers would be even better but it would mean the government or the employer has to foot the bill. It's just not going to happen even though there is plenty of money around to fund education.

> I wonder if 8h of sleep is the cause of the better performance or they both are a result of less stressful life, better health or something else.

This illustrates well the problem with these kinds of studies. How do we know that stress isn't causing both little/poor sleep and e.g. decreased cognitive performance (as opposed to little sleep being the cause of a decrease in cognitive performance)?

It's not like we can create a control group where stressed people are forced to get 8 hours of good sleep every night.
For some reason the article's explanation about "software ate everything" and jumping between each company isn't resonating intuitively with me, so I offer my own take on the situation:

For a long time, the hardware/data center offerings of Intel, AWS, etc. were close enough to what other companies needed to not make it worth their while to invest in inventing their own solutions to low % compute problems.

However, as:

-- compute loads and costs grew

-- types of compute became more specialized

-- design and build of one's own silicon became more accessible/differentiable

-- companies' needs and tolerances for paying a premium diverged enough from what Intel/AWS was offering,

it then became worthwhile for large companies (who can sustain such hardware development efforts) to design and build their own chips, either for cost reduction or functionality-enhancing reasons. Maybe they just saw the margins being achieved by sit-on-your-hands incumbents and decided, "we could do this too, and better".
Well done. Quick question: when there is no more move left, does that mean that I lost (and the shuffle is there in order to be less frustrating) or is the shuffle part of the game's original rules?

Yup I'm totally Mahjong solitaire newbie :)
It won't. Capacity is minuscule this is 9 containers small ones are 1000-3000 and giants are 20000. Speed is 2/3rds. The crew is likely larger or same size.
Plus wooden ships are pain to maintain. Though lifespan might be larger. Not sure about costs to build though.
I just can't see reasonable way for this to work outside customers who really want to pay the premium for slower service.
My experience, having worked around the world, including years in the US and Germany, Europe, Asia ..

Daily Work-Load is a function of distance from domicile to workplace.

Germans generally live closer to their workplace, so its easier to come and go early, and also have a lifestyle outside the office (and even away from their own, moderate apartments) in a fairly cosmopolitan cityscape .. whereas Americans make hourly investments in their daily commute, just to get started, and don't typically have the kind of street-life infrastructure of your average European industrial region.

I think when Americans can walk to work, they spend less time overall at the office - but that is because they are more efficient/effective during the day. I have seen American colleagues take a few weeks to get used to the idea of walking everywhere, but then .. usually when the summer starts .. they become as Euro- as anyone.

Purely anecdotal of course, but I've noticed this swing myself over decades across Western world.

(Disclaimer: Japanese work schedule is way different, and I consider it more of an inverse case: Japanese move closer to their workplace, just so they can spend more time working .. and even though they 'walk everywhere' in the big Japanese cities, hours-long commutes are also a norm ..)
It's a good sign of someone who isn't bound by dogma.

Far too many people are locked into the consumerism cycle, that we must improve the things we consume and consume more of them, because "more good" must be the same as "better overall", right?

Isn't wood one of the few renewable building resources we have? Besides building ships out of aluminum I don't see any other better choices. I don't totally agree with the conclusion; in the article itself they admit that this is more of a flagship project to show it's possible to achieve fossil-fuel-free shipping, not a solid commercial venture.

Or maybe that was sarcasm? Better avoided in this forum.

Due to Magnus Carlsen, chess has had a major boost here in Norway. His major tournaments are covered in detail on TV with commentary by chess experts, which makes it quite approachable and exciting to watch.

Given the inevitable slow parts of the game, the experts have time to explain the position on the board, and show how the variations can play out etc. They've somehow managed to turn chess into a spectator sport.

If per chance they're not geoblocking it, you can get a flavor of it here[1].

Currently there's the Champions Chess Tour (online), which gets several hours of coverage each day they play.

I'm conflicted when it comes to online advertising, I understand and somewhat agree with the privacy and antitrust argunents of the author.

BUT

Advertising works and online advertising, especially targeted adds using those dreaded opaque algorithms, works very very well.

If I have a product I want to sell, I use and happily pay for online adds, the morality or purity of the web really doesn't make a difference. If the cost of the add is less than it's benifit to my company, I am not concerned with how the add revenue is divided and wether that division is fair or not.

The internet advertising industry may be about to collapse. But I don't think the add based internet is going anywhere as long as the bottom line for the add purchasers is met.

>Probably true, but I value my free time and I want as much of it as possible. That means staying up late.

Staying up late enough that it will impact your following day due to curtailed sleeping is just robbing Peter to pay Paul.

As an unrepentant night owl, this fact doesn't make me happy, but that doesn't stop it from being true. If you want the best possible hours, as many as possible, step one is getting enough sleep at the right time, so that you feel your best during the day. As much as we may wish it were different, that's the way it is.
You're right to some extent, and many people have similar stories about living in Japan. However, I do think the younger generation is quite a bit more open than past generations may have been, so I expect things to change slowly over time.

Personally, the baseline quality of life I'm able to live here is quite a bit higher than anywhere I've been in the United States. Wherever I go, I'll be more than satisfied with a group of 5-10 close friends, and in a city like Tokyo over over 14 million people, I can certainly find what I'm looking for socially, even if not every individual person I encounter is a potential close friend. I tend to to multicultural events here anyway, where people are predisposed to open themselves up to non-Japanese.
I wouldn’t know what Turkish people want, I’m not Turkish.

To put it another way, you’re employing an individual to make you a thing you’ll sell for 1000$, you’re paying that person 10$ because you can get away with it since they live in a poorer country. If that same person was living in the US (for instance), you’d pay them 30$ if they lived somewhere cheap or 200$ if they lived in SV. Same individual, same skills, same output, same product. The only thing that changes is where that person lives which isn’t always a free choice because visas mostly.

Framed differently, why is it fair to pay women less than men for the same job? We actually don’t think it’s fair judging from the lip service most companies pay to that issue and the laws written in a lot of countries. In that case, the personal circumstances that influence salary is sex, in what we were discussing before it’s where you live.
You might end up playing a cheater at some point (though it's uncommon). But you're much more probable to end up playing someone better and you'll think they're a cheater..

Look at this livestream where Magnus Carlsen, the world champion, is logged in under another account and crushes Jan Gustafsson (another grandmaster) and he can't believe it's a human playing him :) (or at least suggests he is skeptical)

Sometimes it's not about what the law says, but about what society does. In practice, these are the minimum wages. Perhaps you can diverge from them for a while without punishment, but that doesn't make them not the minimum wages. It just means that the enforcement is different.

Arguing about the legality is a harmful modern fetish that especially in contexts such as these does not help us move along.
> This site teaches chess in words.

> It assumes you know only how the pieces move and builds step-by-step from there.

Do not get me wrong: TFA is a fine and useful book for an intermediate player but the above claims are overselling it. They are equivalent to telling you that learning the

x ^= y;
y ^= x;
x ^= y;

trick will make you a better programmer while being silent on what copy-and-paste programming, magic constants, or hardcoded data are and how to avoid them. While novice chess players are naturally attracted to brilliant combinations, they will have no chance to play them without knowing how to gain positional advantage.

> Strategy and tactics both are important, but tactics are more important.

> If you're a whiz at strategy but not much good at tactics, you will have trouble winning or having fun because your pieces will keep getting taken.

I beg to differ. You should first learn how to supercharge your pieces by controlling the centre, putting rooks on open files, co-ordinating your bishop pair, keeping a strong pawn structure, etc. Two oldie but goodie books that teach these principles and are available as PDF's are Capablanca's A Primer of Chess [0] and Nimzowitsch's My System [1].

EDIT: memorizing openings ⊄ strategy. I understand strategy as applying good principles regardless of your opponent's moves, and tactics as calculating (mostly) forced move sequences. Also, strategy does not have to be dull. Playing a gambit and attacking Black's f7 weakness is a strategy, albeit one that can hardly succeed without tactical thinking.

I have read both of your posts and I do not follow what you are trying to say. Perhaps you could elaborate?
I am absolutely convinced by the argument around the needs and such, much less about the imminent collapse, Fraud and unreliability of the digital ads is not new, it is not even a bug, it is a feature of the people who work in advertising; they oversell the capabilities because there is a lag between old and new guard in that field. Simply put, it is only but a decade old, and the people who taught and got taught did not know how to handle this new tool resulting in a big divide between expectations and reality that has hurt (justifiably) the whole industry and will continue to hurt. But this is it not enough in my opinion to call it over.
After looking at Apple's bandwidth (68GB/sec or so) and latency (random latency 32ns or so, if TLB friendly) I think it's time to consider ditching dimms. Half the latency, higher bandwidth, and lower costs sounds good to me. Just hope that future motherboard makers with LPDDR4x-4266 have motherboard options with 32GB ram instead of today's rather low limit of 16GB on the M1.

Sausages are processed foods, but they kept us alive over the winter. Salt pork anyone? Dried fish? Weevil-filled grains that hopefully stay dry during the winter and foods in root cellars.

I'll add that plenty of processed food is an absolute miracle. Frozen vegetables, for example. You weren't simply eating processed food. You were eating low-quality food that wasn't exactly healthy.
