P.S. This has been going on for a very, very long time. IAC/Ask Toolbar has just been constantly tweaking itself to remain compliant (in Google’s Perceptions), by farming out responsibilities of user acquisition to 3rd party performance marketers, and then blaming the 3rd party marketers whenever Google catches them.

Here’s detailed research on their practices from 2006:

I certainly don't think I'd want to be a competitor to Apple. (I'm a consumer, instead.) Of course, the landscape has changed, and the iPhone absolutely disrupted the industry. These days, I believe the only big Android options are Google, Samsung, and a handful of smaller players such as (the new) Motorola, LG, OnePlus, etc. As a consumer, I don't really care (for now) who profits or doesn't - I'm still deciding between all these phones. (Others only consider Apple or not Apple.)

The discussion above was specifically about how the advance in performance of the A7[0] in 2013 changed things. Honestly I don't know the numbers for market or profit share in 2013 to compare to now, but for consumers the decisions are not wildly different, except for someone specifically comparing phones on CPU performance alone, and ignoring the other differences. Of course, some will also be affected by Apple's marketing of "the fastest smartphones" and that helps with selling phones.

To apply this to laptops is, in my opinion, much trickier. Now I can't speak for all consumers considering purchasing a laptop, but as technical as I am, performance/watt is not my number one consideration. It kind of is, indirectly, an important one. I don't want a hot, loud laptop, and I want some battery life. But things like playing demanding games, or compiling code with as many cores as I can throw at it are more important to me. That and price, being able to upgrade RAM and SSDs when the need arises, etc.

So I have a $950 laptop with a dedicated GPU, 8 cores, 16GB RAM, 1TB NVME SSD, and I can add RAM and another NVME SSD when the need arises. Of course, I only get about 4 hours of battery life, and I'd love more, but it isn't going to change my life much either way (it's freezing outside, I am almost always within range of an outlet!), and I can't give up all the other things that this laptop has that an M1 Macbook lacks, even if the performance/watt is much better.
Benchmarks show that the M1 has better performance in only a few areas, and underperforms in others, and that's with Apple controlling literally every aspect of the hardware and software stack.

I haven't seen a review where it has underperformed any other comparable device.

I've seen a lot of talk about how the Threadripper from AMD is faster… duh. Of course a 32- or 64-core processor that costs 2x-3x than a Mac mini and draws 280 watts is faster than an M1.

The M1 peaks at 20-24 watts and doesn't even require a fan in the MacBook Air.

It's graphic blows away all integrated graphics and is comparable to many discrete GPUs. On CPU benchmarks, it's faster than all but the latest Intel and AMD laptop CPUs, which are in laptops that run hotter, are louder and don't have 18-20 battery life doing real world things.

x86 applications generally just work and often run faster on an M1 Mac than they did on Intel Macs.

Considering the broad swaths of essential business software that is simply incompatible with Apple OS, that's not going to happen.

Depends on what business you're in. If you're in the content creation business, you're good to go [1].

Microsoft Office is already in beta for running natively on M1 and so much other business software is web-based or Electron apps (like Slack) and those work fine.

On the one hand, the Democratic Presidential primary had overwhelming support for the most moderate candidate available. On the other hand, Democratic Congressional primaries have started to get a little silly in terms of how vicious the internecine fights can get between people who fundamentally disagree on very little, my favorite example being Ritchie Torres vs Samelys López in the Bronx.
It's interesting to me that no-one is talking about steel frames, which are becoming something of a standard in Australia, mainly because they share some of the advantages of both constructions styles.

A Steel framed, clad house can be constructed relatively quickly, but is also durable. Alterations aren't as easy as with wood, but are significantly easier then concrete.

With modern insulations and soundproofing, you can have a lot of the benefits of concrete or stone. Plus, there's less thermal mass in the structure, which is a big advantage when building in Australia; Your primary challenge is keeping the inside cool in Summer.

It's not really a mistake. You're correct in the sense that no change in behavior is required from the ACME protocol client, but the cert PEM it downloads at the end is different. The PEM contains the whole chain, and depending on which link the client downloads (the usual one or the alternate one in the link header) it'll get one chain or the other.

I'm not smart enough to understand the math in the paper, but I'm able to see that the illustrations match the minifig hand example. This snap fit is present in a lot of LEGO pieces. I'm sitting next to SF, Shanghai, and Kyoto architecture sets, and the 3-in-1 deep sea creatures set, all of which use different snap fit pieces. However, I can understand the confusion given most people's first image of a LEGO piece.

If your definition includes networks only used by a few technical hobbyists, then a lot of those networks already exist.

This comment seems wrong to me:

// The "indirect" pointer points to the
// *address* of the thing we'll update

The "indirect" pointer points to the thing we'll update. See at the bottom, it's updating *indirect, so "indirect" points to the thing being updated. On the other hand, "indirect" points to the address of the thing we'll remove. There's a specific item being removed, and there's a specific thing that will be updated; the thing being updated comes immediately before the thing being removed; they're not the same thing.
How else would it function? In a multitenant property there's not any clean way for people to own the freehold to pieces of it.

I don't really see what the issue is, it's just another option. You can buy a freehold, a leasehold for typically a kiloyear new or whatever remains (which will be accordingly cheaper), or rent.

Does anyone remember the "star wars" program of early 1980s? It was a massive fraud smoke-and-mirrors program to lure the USSR into an area of weapon development where it could not sustain itself economically.

It included plans to build a colossal network of space-borne X-ray lasers powered by nuclear blasts, which would be able to destroy ICBMs before they finished acceleration and deployed warheads and decoys. This would allow the US to break out of the mutually-assured destruction balance.

None of that was true. The US did not (and still do not) have a technology to produce nuke-powered X-ray lasers. The US did not have the launch capacity to deploy the advertised number of space platforms. Not nearly.

Still, this was (or is believed to be) instrumental in the peaceful demise of USSR due to extreme economic difficulties resulting from a symmetric effort.

Wonder how much Profit, though. Since there’s only upfront cost and then a massive long tail collecting Google Revenue for 3-4 years the unknowing and unsophisticated user keeps it installed (all profit at that point). Chrome uninstalling would be quite the disruption to their cash cow.

In the words if George Carlin (may he rest in peace), “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” The second half are who this part of IAC’s profit thrives on.
As a longtime Apple user I am shocked to find out that nobody cares about telemetry malpractice in Apple software. If M1 is future of Apple computers it reminds me of era in the past when running a mac was brilliant idea but software ecosystem was absent. Actually move to intel chip has widen Apple adoption as a platform.

There are two milestones in this transition. Hardware and software. On a hardware and optimisation of SOC Apple has delivered significant result. Let see how software adoption part will happen and how third party non App Store apps will perform in this transition. Let's not forget lessons from the past. Hardware is vehicle for running software and iPhone and iPad apps are not desktop software alternative.
Nasty fights between people who disagree on little don't suggest more polarization -- they suggest that candidates aren't facing that much serious ideological challenge, which is what we'd expect to see if it were really true that Democrats were going further and further left in an effort to please their base. You can point to a couple examples like Ocasio-Cortez, but I think it is fair to say that this trend is nowhere near as pronounced as you've seen with grassroots conservatism.

MIT study: Covid-19 vaccines may be less effective for Asian Americans
Serendipity is great! I was literally thinking about this today with a view to improving the personal training space.

I’ve a few friends who are personal trainers, they all complain about the “zoom centric” solution where by as a client you dial in to a zoom call, and have to move a phone, iPad, whatever, around a bunch so the PT can see you.

My mates have suggested that what they really want is to be able to select from a range of views while a client performs some maneuver.

While this doesn’t solve the upstart cost (multiple cameras, bandwidth, etc), it’s cool that it does solve the “hard part” of working out how to stream to some common end point that allows the viewer (the PT) to select the best view.
I didn't get "I am basically jealous of this man" from the article, like, at all.

Barcelona launches 10 year plan to reclaim city streets from cars
99 years is pretty short, they're accordingly cheaper / harder to sell at the bottom end.

More typical might be you buy somewhere with a 550 year lease, and sell it ten years later with 540 remaining.

Clearly that barely had an impact on the value; probably it appreciated in value over that time, judt not quite as much as a comparable freehold.
With how much of the X server the NVIDIA driver outright replaces, I’m not surprised. It also has a ridiculously huge back-support for X ABIs. They don’t remove the old ones, and compatibility code is all baked into one driver instead of separate drivers.

This was one of those situations where there MUST have been a lot of cash flowing to google - because the IAC business in this space was straight scam behavior. Homepage hijacking and all the usual goodies.

For all the highly paid data scientists google paid, they somehow thought IAC's business in this space was consumer positive when every metric must have been screaming that it was user unfriendly.

For me a lot of stuff people complain about google don't make sense, removing subdomains from URL bar, I can see the argument for safety there. But this was straight google funded crap.

I wish some of the enforcement focused more on this type of stuff - straight forward google funded anti-consumer behavior. I wonder what made google decide to finally cut off the crapware.

Instead we are told google can't cut of the absolute trash from IAC because it would be anti-consumer / anti-competitive to do so. Regulators have their heads on totally backwards in this space.

Why don't they go hard after the crap that clearly and obviously hurts users (there is so much of it).
Water Futures to Start Trading Amid Growing Fears of Scarcity
It seems right now we're at 10-15% positivity on PCR. And I think that probably maps onto society... So there's a vague guess how many will test positive with PCR.

Unfortunately a PCR result at a 35 cycle threshold (which the vast majority of tests in the U.S. are) does not prove that a person was infected and has immunity, only that there was exposure that is detectable. It may never even have entered the bloodstream.

Only antibody testing will show if there was a immune response and if there is immune memory. We're not doing that at scale.
I agree with the sentiment of your comment, but in this case it did appear that he was seeing a therapist so he was getting some professional help.

I got a notice from Zappos some years ago about a security breach they suffered where customer information was exposed. In compensation, they offered a discount on next purchase. This offer of course had a relatively short time limit, not the same as a gift certficate or store credit. I never remember reading about this security breach publicly. Maybe I just missed it.

> watching movies and show you didn’t pay for is theft

When I have a bike and you steal it from me, you are depriving me of the use of that bicycle. That's what makes it theft.

There is no deprival, therefore no theft in "watching something you didn't pay for".

If you argue "you are depriving the right of the artist to make money" that makes the assumption that the right of an artist to coerce money out of the counterparty existed. And yes, I make art, highly valuable art, with my creative brain, and I give it away without expecting any compensation for it. Yet I still find a way to eat. Huh.
Hi HN! When integrating with some APIs (specifically for auth flows), many will require a callback URL and unfortunately frequently don't allow localhost. This is annoying for local development and usually requires paying for ngrok and using a tunnel to get around that restriction.

It will force the x86 vendors to adopt the microarchitectural aspects of the M1 that make it fast in practice, instead of spending so much area/power budget chasing SPEC benchmarks. We will get better chips through competition.

There's only so much you can do with a 40-year old instruction set. There's certain things neither ARM or Intel can do compared to the M1.

Example: the max number of instruction decoders Intel and AMD can use is 4 and that brings tons of complexity due to x86 instructions ranging in size from 1-15 bytes. There's no way for the processor to know where the instruction boundaries lie except through trial and error essentially.

All ARM instructions are one size, so decoding them and having many instructions in flight at any given time is much easier. The M1 has 8 instruction decoders.

Short answer: the M1 can process twice as many instructions per clock cycle than Intel/AMD processors can.

The M1 and the Zen3 run neck and neck, with the Zen3 being slightly faster in some benchmarks.

But the Zen3 runs at 5 GHz and the M1 runs at 3.2 GHz, meaning if the M1 ran at 5 GHz, it would blow the Zen3 away. And of course, on a performance per watt basis, the M1 is the obvious winner.

This article gets into all the reasons why Intel and AMD are between a rock and a hard place when it comes to competing with the M1:

> you criticise that Trump is exercising his constitutionally granted right to sue when in his opinion he has been wronged

Having actually read some of those suits, I would say you could make a case that Giuliani should be disbarred. These suits are cases where the Trump campaign usually has no standing, the claims are often not even proper allegations, the remedies sought are literally unprecedented, and often even the timing is improper (basically, challenging election procedures after the election can only be done in exceptional circumstances). You may have a right to sue people, but you do not have a right to harass people through lawsuits, and the suits in question are closer to the latter.

(Side note: you don't have a constitutionally-granted right to sue people. You do have one to sue the government, though.)

How about lets start with the M1 being able to process double the number of instructions per clock cycle…

I wish there was a way to have multiple certificates (1st preference, 2nd for failover) so you can support two or more at at time - with feedback on how many using the failover. Its stressful to make a switch and then see what is broken.
Second, not third, and chasing benchmark scores (instead of real workloads) would result in exactly the trade off you’re asking for; most pieces of SPEC will barely benefit from the second AVX512 FMA at all.
What I am wondering is why you would question such a (seemingly harmless) call to action. Particulary the last paragraph which simply suggests going forward people might spend less time focusing on learning programming and more time focusing on learning networking. If this "call to action" were to garner any traction, would it impact you personally, or anyone you care about, in a negative way?
This was the case for most teams I worked on at Google too; I would have an afternoon beer and work from the couch near the mini-fridge at least once a week (I was in my early 20s, so this was less impairing than it probably would be now), and people would usually join me, though not everyone would drink.

That being said, a mini-fridge of booze _per-employee_ is pretty unusual.
