I can't vouch for the authenticity of this data, but a Google search shows someone allegedly benchmarking a macbook pro: https://v2ex.com/t/729284

By comparison with, say, my GTX 1060 (6GB), it appears to be around 4-5 times slower. Other benchmarks seem to confirm this.

I'm very impressed. My Quadro P600 is around 5 times slower than the M1, all while using more power by itself than the entire system.

Granted, that's a very slow (and generation old) discrete mobile GPU, but for what it is, I think the M1 makes a fine showing. It greatly outperforms my 8th gen Intel brick that weighs 5 pounds and needs a 110 watt power supply, so I'll probably cave and upgrade.
I would certainly be fearful of providing an honest review of a paper championed by such a powerful figure at Google who could get me fired and unemployable with a tweet. Revealing the reviewers and throwing them under the bus would have been the end of any honest reviewing at Google. Dean made the right move here.
It's just impossible to fix it. You have to put players with different ranks in a server. If you just sort everyone by their skills, you get good teams that crush the rest of server. It will be annoying for low rank players, and boring for high rank players.

There are servers tiers, but they can't always fill a server with same rank players. How many players are online on the same region that want to join a server at a given time...

So there will be always some randomness to it. As long as you sometimes get to play with good teams and win, it will keep you in the game. You will probably even play longer that way.
There are t-shirts for $3.75AUD at my local Kmart, they don't keep their shape very long though, I have seen some on sale for $2.
Well, the lesson I'm taking from this is to have a good HR department, and listen to them.

One of their most valuable functions is to stop you "letting go of" people for stupid and petty reasons that blow up in your face, spectacularly.
Niche subreddits are informative and useful. You just have to unsubscribe from all the default reddits and find the niche stuff that interests you. Then your reddit front page becomes one of the most useful media pages on the internet.
How does writing invalid HTML help toward the goal of correct parsing exactly? To me it would seem to open up an infinite variety of edge cases that simply don't need to exist if you're working with 100% standard code.
The simple trick with modulo 7 is take all the 3 bit sequences: (x & 111), (x & 111000) >> 3, (x & 111000000) >> 6, etc. and add them all together. It means you just have to do bitshift + add instead of all the complexity of division. Same applies to higher powers of 2^n-1 as well.
Do people in tech carreers experience this type of work pressure? I'm 25 years in and the worst abuse I've seen of this sort is uncompensated pager duty. I've never been pressured to check email, chat or whatever off duty. I've read of game devs having lots of crunch time which also falls under this category, but that's about all I've heard of.

I'd guess we don't get it as much as we are generally high-value, highly mobile employees so it wouldn't pay to squeeze to hard. Or have I just had (mostly) good employers?
How do you measure the value lost by the jobs of stablehands, cobblers, milkmen, and movie projectionists?
The nominee in question has definitely not declared martial law. Even leaving aside questions of authority I don't think the DoD takes commands over Twitter.
Another advantage that does not get the love it deserves in my opinion, is how useful coverage becomes when it comes to upgrading a dependency, or even the language version. But your project will have to stick around for a while to appreciate that.
The article leaves out the significant detail that Warner Bros. and HBO Max are both owned by WarnerMedia, the media and entertainment arm of AT&T.
"My submissions were always checked for disclosure of sensitive material, never for the quality of the literature review."[1]

"In all of my time at Google AI, I never heard of pubapproval being used for peer review or to critique the scientific rigor of the work. It was never used as a journal, it was an afterthought that folks on my team would usually clear only hours before important deadlines. We like to leave peer review to the conferences/journals' existing process to weed out bad papers; why duplicate that work internally?"[2]

It sounds like she said "I demand that you do X Y Z or I must resign" and they said "Very well we regrettably accept your resignation. No backsies." and she was like "You're firing me??!"
Totally agree with you. This really is a concept that you need to keep in mind when you write your code "testability". And i find that when you get this you also get a Buch of other properties for "free". Orthogonality and reusability for example. And really it's a force multiplier and kicks productivity into high gear when you know that your lower level components work as expected and you don't have to go ok a wilf goose hunt when something would be constantly broken. To summarize I find that writing tests early on reduce product velocity but the compound effect of good quality and regression prevention give you higher velocity later on.
I'm not sure if you actually don't understand quantum mechanics, or if you do but are expressing your point extremely poorly, but "You and Bob, by virtue of having interacted with the same measurement apparatus, have become mutually entangled, and that is what a classically correlated system is." is the objectively real physical reality.

The fact that measurements are repeatable is, in fact, because they are giving us information about that specific kind of objectively real physical reality - the fact that that reality is, at base, better described by quantum wavefunctions rather than trying to shoehorn it into a model resembling tiny billiard balls bouncing around only seems like a problem if you allow your brain's myriad evolution-induced biases and deficiencies to overwhelm your capacity for abstract reasoning. (Like, admittedly, Einstein seems to have.)
NYC stopped enforcing marijuana laws years ago (unless your a minority or on their radar for other things) - you can walk down the street smoking a joint in midtown and nobody will bother you, walk by restaurants where it’s clearly being smoked in bulk and nobody is stopping it, smell it heavy on people’s clothing on the subway and nobody is hindering them.

The first thing I notice when traveling abroad, or even to other cities in the US including ones that have legalized marijuana officially, is the lack of marijuana smell. The first few days of the COVID lockdown the air quality in Manhattan was amazing between the lack of traffic and people smoking - imagine Wyoming or Montana except you can smell the ocean - I had never experienced that here before.

So on one hand I’m glad they are considering legalization so that the police don’t target people unfairly, but on the other hand I can tell already that people are going to abuse this and mess it up. The politicians are going to start taxing the bejesus out of the stuff to curtail its use, and that is going to push people to cheaper/illegal alternatives, and the cycle will repeat itself.
Indeed. The very idea of using words like "yield" or "control" belies a fundamental weakness - managers who are so insecure that they can't ever change their minds in case someone figures out how mediocre they are (when in fact the opposite is true - listening to your expert employees and allowing them to change your opinions is seen by them as a sign of strength).
I think that's very much the case.

Qualcomm has been price gouging while limiting features from each new release (for example, the new 888 doesn't have AV1 decode support... WTF!)

This is google forcing them to up their game if they want to keep playing.

Will google keep doing this? Probably not (IMO). Rather, it's likely just a demonstration of "Hey, we don't need you, so straighten up!"

That being said, if Qualcomm ignores them (since Pixel isn't a major player in the phone market) google may keep producing their own chips.

Another interesting aspect here is that Google may decide that they don't want to keep paying for the ARM licenses. This is an avenue for them to start getting RISC-V as a first class Android citizen.
Oculus admits they will NOT help with Oculus Paperweight
Yes. I am just stating a fact. And do you see a change?
>the trick is to stick to ~~small~~ niche subreddits.

I think generality is more of a problem than size. The more general a subreddit's topic, usually the more of a cesspool it is.

The more specific and niche, the more likely it is to be focused, informative, and useful. Also the better moderated it tends to be, as the moderators are intensely interested in the topic and doing it as a labor of love.
I wouldn't say so. Just looking at what Biden did as a senator:

In 1983 he introduced the Comprehensive Forfeiture Act, which became law in 1984. That's the main piece of law that enabled civil asset forfeiture. That's how cops take property, alleging it to be drug money without any evidence. It's legalized theft, turning cops into gangs that prey on the people. Black neighborhoods are popular targets. Note that "defund the cops" will make them rely more on this source of revenue!

In 1994 he introduced the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act. This is the infamous law that put many black people in prison for decades, particularly for crack cocaine. (meanwhile his own son smokes crack with impunity, aside from being tossed out of the Navy) Kamala Harris used the law very often as prosecutor. She warned against leniency, saying that she needed the prisoners to fight California wildfires. In other words, she wanted black slaves. It took Donald Trump to fix this problem, with him signing the First Step Act in 2018.

It really does seem that the facts are the other way around.
I once bought a System76 laptop. Spent quite some money on it as a student. It only lasted me 2 years. After that its chasis started to come apart, screen died and a few other things.

System76 really seems like a good idea, but one bad experience is enough for me to spend my 1000$ on another brand. Thinkpad has been a much better experience so far
How about your children, if any.
>The problem being discussed widely today is that developers have a dark incentive for players to lose when purchasable lootboxes are present.

While this could've held true a few years ago for CoD franchise, I know for a fact that neither last year's CoD installment nor the most recent one discussed in this article (Black Ops: Cold War) has any sort of lootbox mechanics.
I would have routed feedback through HR if and only if I would have feared retaliation.

This is dumbfounding. Kinda tells you what kind of shit-eating devs they're looking for. What staff-level engineer possessing even a modicum of self respect would willingly subject themselves to this?
Thanks for posting, really interesting to read that process. Just went on the site and ordered some clothes!
Well, sure they get paid, but what about the people who are deemed essential and still have to work? Seems kind of unfair to those people doesn't it? It's not an easy problem to solve...
>r/libertarian is a mostly socialist sub now

Not surprising when the libertarian candidates run on own borders and government enforced equality for the identity politic cultists.
I use JS every day; I would say I like it. I would even say that in 2020, if you know what you're doing, it's a pretty good language on the whole.

But I don't think it's controversial to say that the following were objectively bad decisions (in hindsight, of course, but still):

- Automatic casting behavior between the core types (you're the only person I've ever heard suggest that this might be a good thing)

- Automatic semicolon insertion

- A core Date object that lacks basic control over time-zones and reasoning about time-zones

- Assigning to an undeclared variable silently creates a global

- Allowing duplicate function parameter names where later ones just hide the earlier ones

- Distinction between undefined and null (this one might have a few defenders)

Some of these are now prevented by "strict mode". Others have been patched-over, for example by the addition of === which prevents casting behavior for comparisons at least. Others can be bridged by libraries (Moment.js) or by best-practices (use foo == null to smooth over the null/undefined distinction, never use a value's implicit falsiness in a conditional, etc).

But the point is that JavaScript has this giant asterisk that will never go away, of things you need to do/avoid/utilize in order to get the most basic behaviors right.
I'm going to see a psychiatrist for the first time next week because I think I had ADHD. This has helped me think about exactly how I want to state my problem. That I lack executive function, that I can't focus on the things I need to focus on, that I have spent decades trying to create accountability systems that ultimately fail.

> help your brain to dopamine with diet, with timing sugar

Could you expand?

I have been on a strict diet the past few weeks and exercising every day, I do think it's helped but I am still stuck.
Please elaborate ! :)
Only in the same way that people still use terms incorrectly. DHTML was the progenitor for the editing of styles on DOM objects that we do today. It has a specific meaning. Depending on how you did the form validation (highlighting input fields, or revealing error messages, rather than using an alert box or performing the validation on the server and generating a new page), it absolutely could have been DHTML.
> One, small data can be extremely illuminating.

I love this. I think we dismiss "small data" too quickly. I see this all the time here on HN and in other places, where someone's experience will be dismissed as "just anecdotes", as if an anecdote contains no useful information at all. Statistical summaries by definition lose information--it can be incredibly valuable to continuously ask ourselves over time "What information is important to retain in our models/statistics, and what information is okay to discard?" To me, it seems obvious when I say it--well duh that's the scientific method--but it's so easy to become attached to our models and statistics and use those to dismiss important information as noise.
> My claim is this: among the sort of forums where people are actually having discussions about Timnit Gebru's firings (ie. highly educated crowds of people who pay attention to the goings ons in AI ethics, Google, etc.), HN skews right-leaning.

There are two groups of people who are interested in this firing. People who are very interested in race and race relations. These people skew extremely left wing.

And people who are interested in technology, ai and machine learning who are probably center left.

The machine learning subreddit and hacker news are both part of this second group and only look like it's skews right leaning because the other discussion skew so far left leaning.
In contact? Maybe a little. That visit to the Prime Minister is more of a 'royal visit' than peers comparing notes. Remember they insinuate that WWII is entirely a Wizard dispute that got out of hand -50 millions dead.

Then there's the secret police visits to erase people. Heck, Harry's best friend wants to be one when he grows up! Just like dear ol Dad! Who comes home with 'Muggle Artifacts' that they somehow don't need any more - presumably because they had to be put down. I half expected a collection of gold teeth or whatever.

All that made 'disliking Muggles' into a red flag in my reading was, that a segment of Wizard society wanted the cattle to be managed without spooking them - gently and quietly. So they wouldn't be a danger to Wizards, not out of any consideration. The other segment was fine with running them thru the chute to the slaughterhouse. Both opinions were current even in Hogwarts. But neither regarded them as more than cattle to be managed.

And of course Wizard society had the right to manage them, that was never questioned. Such a book could only be written by the British, with their tone-deafness about class and privilege.

Anyway, I enjoyed the books too.
This seems like a sheltered view of poverty.

When you live in poverty, there is no such thing as peace or thinking about the future. You are trying to cope minute-by-minute with hunger, abuse, fear, and limitless insecurity. You know someone who is in jail, someone who has been shot/stabbed/murdered, and plenty of people who did all the right things and still failed to make it out. In a nutshell, there's no such thing as tomorrow when you hope to die in your sleep.

Self-fulfillment is at the top of Maslow's hierarchy. Until society provides for all the needs beneath it, having access to the internet isn't going to make a damn bit of difference.
Also in Australia they're called chicken burgers.

Before moving to the US I always thought it was the style of bun that made it a 'burger', whereas if you put it between two pieces of sliced bread it would be a 'sandwich'.
The apple M1's don't have locked bootloaders, there's a warning in the firmware about enabling unsigned booting, but it's just warning. That's why there's an attempted linux port underway.

I have great hopes that Stimulus 2.0 and Ruby 3.0 will put Rails back in the spotlight as the sane alternative to SPA abuse. Ruby and Rails have some really talented people on their teams and there's something special about the Ruby language which makes it such a fertile environment for innovation. Only Clojure compares in this respect.
And many people prefer to not play games where they have to suffer through however long a match takes in a hopeless effort to maybe not lose _that_ much.

I would vastly prefer if every match I play makes me at least _feel_ like I have a chance to win if I try hard enough, than have a large percentage be obvious losses leading only to frustration and waste of time.
I agree - if you take some time to really customize your subscriptions and interface options (read: ditch the new interface immediately for the classic one), reddit can be a very powerful 'dashboard for your interests' unlike most other sites.

I guess the questions is if they can keep it that way and also monetize.
Perhaps by not eliding the first part of "instead of awaiting reviewer feedback, it was approved for submission."
That's no justification for the rationale that critique or negative results in general are not paper worth or do not advance science in less short-sighted ways.
No, in my experience, you are wrong. Becoming an industrial researcher trades some independence for money, steady project funding, and the opportunity to more directly impact the world. In return your employer gets first or sole access to your research in order to make their products better and more profitable. Clueless suits forcing you to degrade the integrity of your work by demanding you soften your message or by puffing it up with PR need not be part of the equation. This case is over a research paper, not a press release. Smart companies know that employing researchers that are honest people rather than sycophants is good for their bottom line.

Probably, even Google knows this, and this is just a mistake. If I was in the position of this researcher, I’d threaten to quit, too. Google’s actions suggest it wants to appear to care about ethics in AI rather than actually caring. That’s not a environment conducive to her to have any impact, so why stay? Clearly she’s not going to have a problem finding a job elsewhere.
That's probably where we're heading: the existing PHP code will still control state for the app and push events/messages to a relay app managing websocket connections with the front end (probably written in Elixir, or possibly a websockets-as-a-service offering initially).

F*cking (Sensory) Magnets, How Do They Work?
That might have been true for a couple of years if you just compare pure computing power, as soon as you factor in build quality and compared it to Thinkpad X1s, XPS & Co you were in similar price ranges again. Or if you don't care about build quality, another classic is the high-res displays (and software support) which took the competitors years and some might argue that they're still not there.

Oh and there was also a couple of generations where Apple had pretty much kind-of exclusivity on Intel's newest CPUs and they were really only available in MacBooks for the first few months.
>anything else doesn't get traction, unlike in a traditional forum. This is very obvious if you're into a technical hobby like climbing or mountaineering.

That's interesting, can you think of other examples besides climbing or mountaineering?
TypeScript requires compilation and has a rich type system. It also has "script" in the name.

I think "scripting" vs "programming" language differentiation is elitist nonsense. This isn't a meaningful boundary. It's more useful to speak of languages in terms of strong/duck/loose typing, syntax, supported programming paradigms, ecosystems, available libraries and tooling, and intended use cases.

The problem with accepting anti-social behavior is that you encourage it. This individual or another will use the same strategy against you in the future, and it will create antagonism and toxicity.

No, an ultimatum is a choice between two options; she offered Google a choice, and they selected. Expecting them to try to carve out a 'third way' is just unrealistic.

I agree that you can frame this many ways; she could have portrayed this as her resigning in protest, instead of blaming Google for being vindictive.

I've been switching over to tabs to mark indentation levels and spaces for alignment after that. I used to use all spaces. Disagree completely on the proportional fonts, but maybe I just haven't tried one. Code presentation is important to me, since it makes it really easy to grok the structure of what's going on and to find some simple errors if you align certain things together.
I wasn't discussing the appropriateness - I was pointing out that this behavior is normal in science. Your original comment was:

Unfortunately, for a long time (since well before my time, at least).
