I quickly looked up the AMD for price and TPD. Turns out, AMD Ryzen 3900X is a 105W TPD CPU with 420GBP price tag when on discount. The base Mac mini is 699GBP.

Is there any info on the overclock prospects for Apple M1? Is there possibility to run this beast at AMD&Intel heat output levels? How fast a water cooled M1 could be?

The GIF thing is innuendo lost in translation: the original 不动戳大 bù dòng chuō dà "not move poke big" is used on Weibo (I think) to tell users that the thumbnail they're looking at is a GIF and will start playing if they click to magnify. But it could just as well refer to an erection instead...

I agree that the bot is pretty Eliza-like. It appears to be able to recognize general topics of conversation and keep a back-and-forth going, but e.g. the innuendo above wasn't timed correctly, since he already started "moving". Something like 深入浅出 shēn rù qiǎn chū "deep in shallow out" might have fit better. (It's a well-known saying about making profound knowledge easily accessible, of course.)

> The redesign is that horrible for anything but mindless scrolling watching clip videos.

That's not entirely true... the redesign has some moderation and content submission improvements. But, if you don't mod or submit content then you might not notice those improvements.

That said, like digg, the redesign is also missing a lot of features that old.reddit has. So, if they don't want to digg v4 themselves (which is what made Reddit popular to begin with) then they have to at least keep old.reddit around until there is feature parity.

They will definitely shed a lot of users when they drop old.reddit but anyone who uses particular subreddits for their hobbies and interests may bite the bullet and get used to the redesign if they like the community enough. Hopefully Reddit Enhancement Suite makes a lot of improvements when that happens because RES makes reddit so much better.

Intel Not Inside: How Mobile Chips Overtook the Semiconductor Giant
That's my favorite part of the film, in turn. A climax that's really an anti-climax (I too didn't realize the big finale had just happened on first watch) is a perfect fit for a film that pretty much makes a fetish out of being understated and difficult to follow.

I'm still extremely suspicious of all these benchmarks, because they don't seem to correlate with my real-world experience.

All these benchmarks claim to be comparing real-world applications, but I don't trust them because of what they always show with regards to mobile i9 and desktop Ryzen.

I've got a Intel Macbook Pro, and a Ryzen desktop. When I'm using them for development, my Ryzen is absolutely wiping the floor with the Macbook, Android builds complete in a fraction of the time, and I barely ever have to wait for anything to complete. The story is much the same with almost any development tool or process I use.

Yet benchmarks like these show comparatively minor performance differences between the two. I just get the impression these benchmarks are being cherrypicked, or are "nerfed" in some way on multicore systems.
Makes me wonder how much better the situation was in rural areas.

> The specifics of what students didn’t like: The first is a mentor/mentee program we set up within the school. Employers tell us literally every day they want students who truly understand the development and release cycle, and work on teams. We created a mentor/mentee program where every student has a chance to do that, and the result of that program so clearly creates better outcomes that employers ask specifically for students who have done that. Some students love it. Some students see it as one more thing distracting them from writing more code,

The complaints i have seen around mentors in this thread and those linked are not that they don't see the user of a mentor/mentee program, but conversely that their mentor was not qualified or good at it. That's very different, they like the mentor/mentee program in theory, they don't think it's well executed.

Anyway, with 2000 students enrolled, it's possible that some groups/courses/teams/classes/whatever you call them are worse than others. We may only hear from those in the worst. But then the question is, how do you find out about these "failing" teams quickly, and how do you correct them, so those students still get the quality you aspire for. It's kind of too late after they've had months of a bad experience, they won't get those months back, of their lives, or of your program. What systems are in place to do that; what systems might be possible?

Because the other disturbing thing in linked threads is students who tried to contact you to say the teachers/lessons/other devices weren't up to your standards, and could not get an ear.

> Crunchyroll at least needed a team of translators to create subtitles for Naruto (and other anime circa the mid 00s). That is to say: Crunchyroll may have copyrihgt-infringed upon anime, but they added value.

Most of the content on Crunchyroll was fansubbed by various IRC and torrent groups and used without permissions of the original copyright holders or of the fansub groups and without credit to the fansubbers. So, actually, no, they didn't need a team of translators, and there's a lot of anime fans who refuse to do business with Crunchyroll because of their betrayal of the fansub community.

This kind of changes the narrative about the Intel/ AMD competition of late. For the past few years people have been suggesting AMD has been hitting it out of the park in terms of performance. This suggests that's not necessarily the case.

AMD didn't have to hit it out of the park to humiliate Intel, they just needed to be competent. A professional ball club doesn't need a team of All Stars to embarrass a farm team.
I know they are almost exclusively a racing game maker now, but the Codemasters (published) game I’ll never forget is the war sim Operation Flashpoint.

> That's just logistics - it comes after your philosophical understanding of the item. We don't have to monitor things that aren't bad. We monitor nuclear proliferation because we've already made a philosophical judgement on it. It came first.

That's true, I suppose, but unskilled laborers routinely achieve the level of philosophical sophistication required to make that judgment. It doesn't help your argument about the primacy of philosophy if it means the kind of "philosophy" achieved by the man in the street.

> We don't have climate policy because people stand to lose money, just like we have software engineers that refuse to take pay cuts to work on actual helpful technology instead of adtech.

That's true, but we also don't have a society that will pay more for actual helpful technology than it will for adtech. Why blame the software engineers for not making themselves martyrs? Why not blame the CEOs for not making themselves martyrs? Why not blame the people for wanting the wrong things?

Just a quick note, the MacBook Air is by no means "ultralight" even by Apple standards, 2017 MacBook for example was more than twice lighter. Thinkpad laptops are also measurably lighter than any current generation MacBook.
We've done exactly the same. I find the air 'feels cleaner' as well.

Really? Everyone I know has a duvet and they all know its tog rating. Never heard of clo.

You can go even deeper with this idea. How much of your time coding is actually coding? Surely, you're not typing all the time. If you take 10 minutes to think over a concept and explore some options before writing a block of code, how do you know if that was an appropriate amount of time or if 9 of those minutes were wasted or whether you should have taken much longer than you did? Personally, I have no way of quantifying any of this.
Agreed, but caught many people by surprise
A huge factor in your body temperature is metabolism. You need to constantly eat and hydrate at colder temperatures because your body is working harder to regulate your temperature. My thermostat is set to 61F, and I'm comfortable most of the time, but sometimes I'll randomly feel really cold even though the temperature and my clothes haven't changed. I eat a small snack, and suddenly I'm comfortable again. When I don't do this, I end up sweating as my body tries to raise my core temperature, and then I'm cold because I'm wet. And If I do 20 minutes of intense exercise, I often sit around in shorts and a t-shirt for an hour or more and not notice the cold.

Also, the material and fit do make an impact on thermal insulation, but not in universal ways. Tight-fitting clothes that aren't good insulators - like jeans with elastic - actually end up making you colder because they're not good insulators and they increase conduction heat transfer. A loose-fitting pair of non-stretch pants actually insulates better because the material itself is a better insulator, and the air between your leg and the pants is also an insulator [less heat transfer than with the stretchy jeans].

Wool and fleece are going to make you feel more comfortably warm than most other garments, the fleece because of all the trapped warm air. But wool specifically generates heat when it's moist, even though it sheds water when wet. Wool is fucking fantastic, though I think mostly as a base or mid layer, as wind tends to cut through a lot of wool-knit fabrics. https://weatherwool.com/pages/the-science-of-wool/
Maybe this is too extreme, but starting barefoot running and/or taking cold showers will greatly increase one's cold tolerance.

Basically any company that isn't a software-first company is using Windows. It's clearly not a hard rule, but it's definitely a trend.

Healthcare, Insurance, Automotive/general manufacturing, Professional services, logistics, etc, etc are Windows primary orgs. For many of these companies, internal software development is a relatively recent trend (compared to their company history) so they have IT departments that hold everybody on Windows.
I'm avoiding brew/docker myself on my main desktop as I've screwed it up a couple of times doing that before. Thus I fire up a t2.small in AWS to test docker images on. My local box is VSCode, Terraform, aws cli, Go, Python etc and everything just works (mostly through Rosetta)
So you disagree with it morally but watch it anyway? And then don't even pay the people who produced it? Isn't that even worse?

I think there's nothing wrong with porn in general and the people who create it - just like other artists, performers, actors, etc - should be paid for it.

Just because it's "morally disagreeable" doesn't make it okay to pirate it. Then you've committed two "sins" instead of one.
Couldn't agree more. In fact, most students will look for outside resources because Lambda's resources are poor. In fact, one of my instructors shares a PDF of Grokking Algorithms to his students because the school's CS content is lacking.
The essay doesn't argue that Gingrich repurposed a quote, or twisted it, or took it out of context. In fact, neither the quote, nor the original context, nor the context in which Gingrich used it is shown at all. It just says that Gingrich used a Camus quote in a speech denouncing Obamacare, and that Camus would have supported Obamacare. That's not disingenuous.

Very interesting. Speaking of adventure game puzzle analysis: http://thewebsiteisdown.com/twidblog/day-of-the-tentacle-dep....

I feel like there might be some tie in where instead of making a formal proof built into the game engine there could be a way to use a dependency graph as the thing which gets proved. Although the state of all the dependencies and transitions of those states based on all game moves would have to be represented. Food for thought. Thanks

The decoupling of the class conditional feature distributions of the naive-bayes benchmark means that each distribution can be independently estimated as a one-dimensional distribution.

This helps alleviate problems stemming from the curse of dimensionality, such as the need for data sets that scale exponentially with the number of features. This is precisely an area where x86 architecture and CISC ISA will out rank the RISC-V ISA of M1's.

But perhaps, I don't know what I am talking about. Someone with more knowledge, please chime in.

Any communities for bootstrappers? I know indiehackers.com already, but I'm missing something more communal, e.g. on Slack, Discord or a FB group. Especially as a solo-founder, it'd be nice to have more of a community to share experiences with.
I think people should pay more attention to the LPDDR4X RAM that's tightly coupled to the CPU and likely has significantly less latency and more bandwidth than anything on the Ryzen or i9. This is critical to keeping their wide design fed, and if you swapped this out with standard DDR3200 you'd see some lackluster numbers.

Both Intel and AMD try to overcome the memory wall with larger caches and clever prefetching, which is going to chew up more die space and power than x86 decoders.
I recently ordered a Lenovo X1 Carbon at a steep discount ($830 for Gen 8 w/ 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD). I felt great about it when I ordered it, but now I'm agonizing over whether to cancel and get an M1 MacBook Air instead. I'll probably be using the laptop for 4-5 years, and I'm concerned that anything with a current-gen Intel chip is going to feel like "legacy tech" for most of that time.

Amazing how the M1 has changed the landscape. If the MacBook Air could handle 2 external displays, I probably wouldn't even hesitate.
Can't even turn that stuff off on a lot of cars, the button only partially disables it; some cars need a cheat code to fully disable, some simply can't.

What you’re describing is the iMac, iMac Pro, Mac mini pro, etc.

But I think they’ll have the Mac Pro continue to be RAM, GPU and PCI upgradable.

How they are doing that is the most interesting secret in the industry.

I feel like this whole article was an excuse to flex their performance and their bank account. Nothing wrong with recognizing your own achievements but making it such a big point of multiple blog posts of yours is a bit sociopathic.

I usually love a good post about quitting the corporate gig to chase greener pastures too, but this is definitely too much.
I tend to consider news reports more akin to a, “here’s what we know now” report than a, “this is the definitive explanation of what’s taken place.”

So in that spirit I agree with you. What this looks like, so far, is a sophisticated Russian attack. From here, we’re going to learn more, and that new info may change how we understand what’s happened substantially.

Though I will say I personally don’t care much that the source is anonymous, because I trust WaPo to vet what they’ve said with other sources. It’s not a perfect system, but it’s not like journalists are unaware of the groups trying to manipulate them.
It’s unclear how this is true. You would still need tools to search the blockchain for the content you’re looking for. Someone would also need to curate and coordinate the format for embedding this information. Anyone involved with either of those steps could be targeted. Those are just off the top of my head. There are likely more holes than that.

> For example, what's the status of VM systems with M1 Mac as host, and x86-64 Linux as guest?

From what I understand, there is no way to virtualize an x86-64 operating system on the M1. You can run ARM Linux or Windows, but not x86-64.
Leaving aside the x86 vs Arm efficiency debate, the key takeaway with the M1 for me is that the Arm licensing business model has allowed Apple to innovate on top of the Arm ISA and create something genuinely impressive.

I know the x86 ecosystem is more open but the costs of being locked into the x86 duopoly for so long have been invisible. The M1 is making them visible.

I agree with that observation when it comes to reddit. But it makes me wonder why HN still contains a high signal to noise ratio despite not having subforums.
Why are they targeting the influencers and not the advertisers? Because that's the only target of opportunity. They'd target the advertisers, eg like the dump Rush campaigns of old, if they could.
I think this is a point that tech folks like to sweep under the rug all too often.

All of these sound wrong:

- Walmarts are huge! It's impossible to build fire suppression at that scale.

- Ford builds an insane number of cars every year, it's not possible to ensure each car is safe at that scale.

- The United States burns 20,000 barrels of oil PER DAY. It's simply not possible to ensure a "safe" product at that scale.

- This buffet serves 20,000 plates per day, it's impossible to ensure food safety at that scale.

Each of those problems has been ~solved. Or those business wouldn't be operating. You only need to moderate a million messages if your customers are posting that many. If you can't afford to hire moderators to handle those million messages maybe it's your business model that's the problem, not moderation.
Is there any consensus on ethics? What do ethical philosophers do in medical situations? Is there really some ethical training that can objectively tell them when to allow euthanasia or when to allow a certain risky intervention? (if there is we call it laws and regulations)

No, of course not. They're simply highly trusted, generally educated people, who we trust to make roughly okay judgment calls based on their instinct and life experience.

Ethics isn't a field you can study the same way as biology or anatomy. It's about compromises, staying within the broadly socially-culturally acceptible. Sure the moral intuitions of a society do evolve over time and often due to influential philosophers, but I don't think everyday ethics committees tap into anything deep.

It often comes down to an extremely uncertain medical situation where the doctor can provide no useful quantitative probabilities for outcomes and the benefits and risks are really hard to score anyway. So it all comes down to intuition and negotiation and not upsetting the public too much.
You do realize the success of the platforms is the result of finding legal loopholes.

That's the innovation. What if we are a media publisher but than without worker rights and unions? Youtube.

>Is there a “right way” to do this that protects everyone

There is no investment if you do that, because the competitive advantage comes from the stealing. Nobody is investing in technology. Nobody is doing actual R&D. It's all about the viability of the scam. How profitable is this loophole?

We go out of our way to engineer protocols and technology and platforms that make it impossible to do that the right thing (by design). From p2p networks in the 90ties to crypto currencies. From YouTube to Spotify.

It's a dog eat dog world and I'm not here judging any individual. But let's not be naive.

Theft is the plan. Abuse is the strategy. Fortunes are not built on sweat. The people who work hard are the ones you hire to clean our house. The ones that pick our vegetables.

But we at least show the respect to others to not lie about the true nature of the successes of our industry.
