Hopefully we'll start seeing Intel / AMD chips that can compete with the M1. Otherwise, I might buy an M1 laptop and run Linux on it.

My workstation will still be Linux, however for a laptop, the new Macbook Air is the new favorite.

As much as I detest Apple's business strategies, this is a remarkable achievement for them. Never thought I'd buy another Apple laptop.
You're not wrong, but... I just got a new phone - getting FF as the default and setting DDG as the default search engine had me messing around trying out all kinds of different settings and places to change stuff. It was frustrating.

So I think there are two issues here; the shortest path and the "I do this once every 2 years" path. You know, kinda like a perceived loading time.

Ideally you could have a lounge area at the start and end stations where passengers can shower and generally freshen themselves up. Kings Cross in London already has shower facilities, which are wonderful for long days as a tourist.
German Rail cancelled their night train service a few years ago, and then Austrian Rail took over and offered a proper service. As the article covers, the Germans were neglecting this service, which in turn probably lead to their poorer service and poorer uptake, and they presumably thought "well, it seems nobody likes taking night trains any more, so let's cancel them".
Why are new devices dependent on the internet but made without a thought to the security of the user?
Youtube has broad 'covenant not to sue' contracts with various rights holding organizations which allows them to safely leave up infringing works while the rights holders can avoid paying residuals to artists whos contracts lacked the foresight to anticipate this kind of fraud.

AFAIK porn performers don't generally get paid residuals, so there probably less interest in this sort of skulduggery.
I'm from the south and don't really see a problem to call it Holland which is why I used that word, even while I reconsidered using the more correct "The Netherlands".

The distinction between Holland / Netherlands is not interesting unless you are from down here. It is similar to the distinction between hackers & crackers. Yes it is different, no.. most people don't care (and shouldn't care IMO).
You assume you were at home before taking the plane or the train. Sometimes you'are travelling from one hotel to another.
> However, Apple seems to be going in the direction of having many many hardware accelerators builtin to their SoC and integrated into their software ecosystem.

I think this is overstated. There are quite a few differences between Intel and AMD extensions these days and they don’t create much of a problem. Apple’s architecture isn’t reliant on accelerators or special instructions to get good performance on general purpose code.

Only 22.8% of the USA is non-religious according to census. Should we ignore the work done by 77.2% of the population?

Unironically, this is what we did. Removed all 'layering', practically making groups of either product or tech and only 'manager' layer between that and C-level. Manager is only allowed to deal with people-stuff and PO's are only allowed to deal with product stuff. Everything else is up to the teams. Works pretty well for us! (and 'allowed' doesn't mean as a hard rule, it's just not their focus point, same goes for product vs. tech, it's not that you are walled off or something, it just means your core is very clear and how far away from that core you can get depends on your team and needs)
I disagree. Especially in teaching games, and everyone writing complex software is still learning.

In Go there are patterns that are probably safe, but that safety only comes if you know the counters. In a handicapped game, it’s not at all uncommon for white to probe live or mostly live groups to see if the student knows their sequences. You see the same in games between beginners.

Professional players don’t do this to each other. They can and will “come sideways” at a problem (aji) if it can still be turned into a different one, but they don’t probe when the outcome is clear. In a tournament it inflicts an opportunity cost on the eventual winner, and it is considered rude or petty. They concede when hope is lost.

They still invested the energy, but now it comes mostly from rote memorization.
I mean, clearly FPS is a waste. Civilization and SFII is where it's at. SMB is ok too.

That said, learning a musical instrument does not last a lifetime if you don't keep playing it. The point of learning skills early in life is not necessarily that the skill is useful, it's that you've learned how to learn skills. Which hopefully will be used throughout your life.

This system started when I ran a dance production. We were touring to multiple venues in multiple states, but they all have ticketing, seating plans, merch sales, etc.

I can still remember that system and I literally haven’t looked at it in ten years.

Isn't that the only thing we care about?

Anything else is a lot like saying that Intel based PCs aren't really compatible with each other because they can use different implementations of things like graphics chips, sound chips, and NICs.
Yes, in English has the verb "to equal", which German doesn't. The verb "gleichen" doesn't work, because it means "to be similar to".
I 100% understood that, which was in fact the background of my thesis: it looks like they are going to be forced ("relegated", even) to maintain old.reddit.com forever because, explicitly, so many people aren't upgrading and the new design isn't succeeding in motivating these people to upgrade (even years later!). I mean, someone else on this thread noted that the new design seems to only have twice as many page views as the new design?! LOL
No, not at all. It's political theatre the media is playing. Russia has been the big bad wolf since 2016. It's far more likely China than Russia, although it could be a variety of different states/parties.

Is it just me, or does anyone get deeply disturbed with some of the generated ML images? Parts of them look so bizarre due to the image composition, my brain simply cannot comprehend that part of the image. It's a very awful feeling, like my brain acknowledges that what I'm seeing is terribly unnatural. I don't experience this when looking at artwork, or some random scribbling, but with ML images it seems like they're generated in such a way that it defies any kind of recognition.

Especially with video games you can cause, say, opening chests to always have a small positive reward (1 rupee, etc) and sometimes contain giant rewards (1000 rupee + AwesomeSword), making it always a dopamine hit even with low-risk activities like opening a chest.
That's a good attitude. How far along did you come with maths, if you don't mind me asking?
Are your real-world applications running on the same operating system?

According to a thread on RWT (https://www.realworldtech.com/forum/?threadid=197081&curpost...), macOS is much slower than Linux on the same hardware for some tasks like building software. If your Ryzen desktop is running Linux and your Macbook Pro is running macOS, that would be enough to explain at least part of the speed difference.
I don't know the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Do you? How do you know it? If I was to sit next to you, would you be able to walk me through all the steps whereby I would be able to say that I know it too?

What does 'know' mean to you? Is it like believe, or like a hypothesis? What is the difference?

If you don't verify something for yourself, can you know it? If someone says that something is true, does that make it true, even if you haven't confirmed it for yourself? If so, who do you trust? Should you trust teachers? Do they mean well? If they mean well, is it possible that they have made a mistake and are relaying wrong information that they haven't verified for themselves? If they are relaying unverfied information as knowledge, are they liars? Are you lying if you do the same? Who has the authority on truth? Is it the schools, as funded by the government? Is it the government?

I know that is a wall of questions, but this is what I think when I hear this sort of thing. What assumptions have I made about things I think I know, where the reality is that I have beliefs of things I think I know.

I wonder--if some years ago--people were asking the same question about electricity
When I was in the UK I lived in a terraced house from the 1880’s with thick exterior walls. It wasn’t all that bad, but I wouldn’t say that it was very well insulated either. It was OK if you just wanted to heat one room, though I did have a decent collection of fleece sweaters and whatever. Actually, The warm summers were rough because there was no cooling, and most of my clothes were designed for cold, damp weather.
I fail to see how "true information should be promoted, false information should be suppressed" is a controversial statement. I'm not talking about opinions here, just cold hard facts. If someone wandered into one of my communities and actively encouraged people to mix bleach and ammonia, and my users were falling for it, you bet your ass that person would get banned for violating my rules, and I would be making sticky posts warning about the dangers of what that user was promoting.

The idea that I can't regulate what goes on in my community because "free speech" is absurd. The same goes for Twitter and YouTube.

This is like the brain in a jar. Whatever you feel, no matter how strongly, is entirely located inside yourself. If thing X and thing Y both result in the same neurochemical response that you experience as "love", why is it not good for some to have Y if they can't have X?

I stopped reading at Try to recall a time back when the Internet didn't exist... Where things like cars and phones functioned on their own in a much more reliable manner.

I grew up in the 80s and have owned several cars from that era. They were significantly less reliable than cars of today. Carburetors were still present (though being phased out) and there were always vacuum hoses that, when they leaked, caused your car to run like crap.

Also, phones: Cellphones were extremely expensive and unreliable. Landlines were extremely unreliable at reaching other humans because as often as not, the recipient wasn't home. Also, I remember all kinds of problems with landline wiring leading to noisy connections. Also, unless you were calling a close neighbor, you paid high per-minute charges.

It's really hard to find something that was better in the pre-internet era. Cars and phones aren't it.

> However, to make the argument that an optimization is correct, the exact semantics of LLVM IR (what the behavior of all possible programs is and when they have UB) needs to be documented.

This is a great point as to why formal semantics of programming languages matters. Even if an optimization seems "obviously" correct, finicky things like introducing the possibility of UB can, as the post outlines, cascade into compiler passes that change the program more and more drastically. The post mentions that one need not go overly formal with the semantics, but I'll demonstrate what could happen when one does.

One possible formulation of semantics is denotational semantics, which describes how to map a program source syntax into values, i.e. eval : Expr -> Val. So when we have an optimization opt : Expr -> Expr, the desired correctness property for that optimization is that

Definition opt_correct (opt : Expr -> Expr) := forall (e : Expr), eval e = eval (opt e).

When we want to rewrite, say e + 0 ==> e, for any expression e, the correctness can be stated and proved

Theorem e_plus_0_to_e_correct : opt_correct e_plus_0_to_e.

One claim in the blog post that correct optimization passes, e.g. opt1 and opt2 compose into another correct optimization pass can be stated as:

Theorem opt_correct_compose (opt1, opt2 : Expr -> Expr) :
opt_correct opt1 -> opt_correct op2 -> opt_correct (opt1 ∘ opt2).

Which means given any two optimization passes opt1 and opt2 such that they are correct, composing them preserves correctness. The proof is simply;

eval (opt1 (opt2 e))
= { since opt1 is correct }
eval (opt2 e)
= { since opt2 is correct }
eval e
Yeah, I know it's not actually recommended anymore, but the policy makers don't care. They're doing CYA policy. They do whatever seems to be the strongest possible thing, users and reality be damned.

I was in a team whose security group eliminated the use of DVD drives for reading (not writing) data except for a few permitted individuals. Creating a massive chokepoint in every process where data had to come from off-network. Security didn't care, it took the realization of the cost (delays, people too busy moving data to do their actual jobs) for management to step in and end the nonsense.

The same will be required for things like password policies. Until the issue becomes realized (weak/written passwords lead to a compromise), these policies will stay in place within organizations and teams. It doesn't help that the majority of the policy setters are not IT professionals (or only in the loosest sense, they can install software but have no real understanding of IT systems). In DoD, most come from a physical security background (retired/separated security forces).

It probably didn't have much to do with the law, clearly. I don't know why non-lawyer HN commenters are so obsessed about litigating the law.

People just really like it, including lawmakers themselves.

It's probably like with Uber - its riders ended up enacting the law that made the cheap prices possible. Or Airbnb. Or a lot of other stuff. Operating in a legal gray area for years.

Or maybe its more comparable to the difference in punishment between doing cocaine and doing crack. Although that Toronto mayor did do crack, so I don't know if cocaine is strictly the drug among lawmakers. Certainly preferred rich people, including rich politicians.

The really twisted thing is, what does that say about porn? Sure, Nicholas Kristoff might be reprinting talking points by a few purity crusaders. But for some things, like the unverified content being not just pirated, but sometimes abusive, they might be right?
> It has nothing to do with their architecture.

That it has zero to do with the architecture is a bold assertion (and seems unlikely).

In any event Apple would not have been able to manufacture / buy an x86 on 5nm so the architecture has quite a lot of influence on the performance of the latest Apple laptops.
Yes I took a night train trip from Vienna to (I think) Göttingen (final destination was Kassel) last year and was able to have a single compartment with bathroom all for myself. It was pricey but not pricier than a flight from Vienna to Frankfurt and then a train from there to Kassel, because low-cost airlines don't fly this route.
Well, you're not a billboard, or any other fixed sign broadcasting to everyone that walks by, or pushing your opinion at literally everyone you meet, so while you may have an opinion, it's not being forced on everyone who comes in proximity to you.
