I'm also curious whether they're vulnerable to spectre (any variant)

I seriously doubt it—that was nearly 3 years ago.

According to an Ars Technica article, ARM dealt with the issue far better than Intel or AMD [1]:

"ARM's response was the gold standard. Lots of technical detail in a whitepaper, but ARM chose to let that stand alone, without the misleading PR of Intel or the vague imprecision of AMD.
For the array bounds attack, ARM is introducing a new instruction that provides a speculation barrier; similar to Intel's serializing instructions, the new ARM instruction should be inserted between the test of array bounds and the array access itself. ARM even provides sample code to show this."

For those chiming in about statistics and causal inference: This paper is about causal event ordering in distributed systems. While both might benefit from some common philosophy, this subject has almost nothing to do with causal inference as studied by Pearl, Spirtes, Robins, and friends. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal_consistency
NYC is the only ever place I have visited in the US. Perhaps everyone could see I was a tourist. I was impressed with how polite the people where. Was really impressed.
That's taking it a bit too far. Now that Apple has shown multiple times that software can be used to bridge the transition from one architecture to another, I have a feeling that x86 will also take a similar route of revisiting the ISA to scale up the performance while supporting legacy ISA through software.
Also read the opening paragraph, they also massively overclocked the ram and underclocked the CPU. Out of the box the 5800 loses.
Since when twice as fast is barely?
I’m a Microsoft employee and I run Linux (with a win10 VM for those times I absolutely need it).

Every single person will get COVID-19 at some point. It’s impossible to avoid. Regardless of how they say COVID-19 is transmitted, you will inevitably get it.

The real shame about COVID-19 is how it can affect people so differently, and with varying degrees of consequences.

The news of a new strain is very worrisome.

We’re in this for the next few years. It’s going to get worse before it gets better, health wise and economically. If the virus doesn’t kill people then the financial impact will.

The future across the US and other countries:

I’m just sitting here wondering why a mobile chip from a 1100$ fan-less notebook is even a challenging contender in this race
AWS have thrown their weight behind ARM server side and are really ramping it up for internal and customer usage.

x64 is still going strong but the competition has massively heated up over the past few years.
All you needed was PaaS, which has existed for a long time. Or the even older name: managed services, offered by pretty much any decent hosting provider for decades.

I remember using companies like MediaTemplate and FullControl 10 years ago for clients and not having to worry about OS updates.
You are right, i have seen my introvert boss, taking verbal damage, hold his anger and his words for 5 seconds and unleash a devastating speech that made the other guy walk away.

He also took leading part in many high management meetings without any social fear.

I am about the middle and i hated working under an extrovert manager, all chatting, big words, self promotion stories, useless long meetings, fake friendly attitude that turned into professional talk when shit got real etc.

Your attitude is a very good one when it comes to your own life. Taking responsibility for your own life is extremely important, and more peoe should think this way.

However, when taking political and social decisions and analyzing the world around us, we must also look at how people are influenced and how their chance of success or failure is affected by conditions outside of their personal agency. The fact that we are each responsible for our own happiness should not preclude us from observing that there is no downwards mobility and increasingly little upwards mobility in European and US society. It should not preculde us from observing that while productivity is increasing at all levels, wealth for middle and low income families has been stagnant for decades, while the top earners have exploded in their wealth.

Basically, each of us in our own lives should seek to be the best we can be. But we should also realize the limits of our individual powers and seek to collaborate and organize to achieve more than we can alone. And we shouldn't care just about our own personal well being, about climbing up to be the next Jeff Bezos, but about the well being and success of everyone around us. You can't build a cathedral alone, but you can inspire many people to build one with you.
The second narrative doesn’t explain AWS throwing its weight behind ARM.

Not to say that ARM is killing x64, it’s definitely not, but ARM is clearly being invested in and rolled out at a massive scale by 2 of the biggest tech companies in the world in both consumer devices and server side. To me that’s quite something.
Also, you know, the right thing to do...
Firstly, the UK response has been terrible, Australia far better.

However there are several contributing factors and it certainly doesn’t come down to mask use as the primary one as mask discipline in the UK hasn’t been bad in my experience.

This is a seasonal disease (the main reason for the UK summer reprieve), and it’s now summer in Australia, and they have also been far better at quarantines and contact tracing and have used this period wisely to get the disease under control. All these factors matter in a response, and the UK has suffered from panic management and a lack of difficult measures at the right time and is now entering the peak season for this sort of virus so things will get worse for a month or two at least, even with a new lockdown.
I was not aware 20 year olds could be pensioners.
I have multiple phones- one for Waze, one for WhatsApp, another one for calls. The extra phones cost me $100 each at the time I bought them new - not flagship, but definitely workable. This does not require any real wealth - most western HN reader can afford an amortized $100/year for privacy (half that or less if you buy 2nd hand). I also have multiple emails.

Where I pay dearly, and it’s a cost even billionaires can’t avoid, is convenience. carrying 5 phones around, or remote controlling one from the others, is far from convenient.

Consultant can only take you so far. If you have an aid carrying the 5 phones so they are always available to you, then you have no privacy in a different way.

I have worked with some extremely high wealth individuals, and none of them practices any better OPSec than your average person; some of them inquired but balked at the non-monetary cost (e.g. seeing me with multiple phones, often off until use so they are harder to correlate, etc). These are people who would easily buy 10 iPhone12 max per year if it gave them convenient privacy. But it doesn’t.
People on this site act as if they have all the understanding and knowledgeable necessary to decry something like cloud vendors because clearly these same people know better than everyone else and these are actually simple problems if only we had their perspective and knowledge.

A 1000 times this. These are solved problems. Anything new has to be better to be taken seriously.
You're the unproductive element here...
But it is a few minutes per month. A properly architected application won’t depend on a single server so a hardware failure will be as unimportant as it is the serverless world.
Sure, if your goal is to get the longest running battery then you want something else, but this is also the problem with Apples design, it is designed to be low power.

If you want the best graphics/ML/Compute/Ray-tracing/videoencoding/decoding and you are not running on a battery then the M1 is not for you. I think this is a big deal, because it will mean that all the innovation on the bleeding edge will happen on other platforms then the MAC.

In WIN/Linux land loads of people are innovating, on hardware for all these things, OS features, applications, peripherals (Like VR). On the Mac side almost nothing can happen unless one company makes it happen. A single company have limited resources and most of all attention span.

The problem with controlling everything and doing everything yourself, is that you have to be the best at everything. In the long run you will fail at something. My guess is that the GPU is where Apple will fall behind first, and where it will be most obvious. They simply dont have the muscle and inclination to go head to head with nVidia on GPUs.

Although it covers other historical periods, it seems remiss of the article to not mention Hartley’s Food in England:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_in_England

If you like your geese by the dozen, packed upside down in a wooden barrel filled with clarified butter, it is a must-read.
By the point you get the Mobo CPU and PSU you already are over the price of an M1 Mac Mini and even then, to get the results seen in this you need to overclock ram and under volt the CPU in a big way, putting you at risk of a good bin vs bad situation. Personally the fact that they had to start with some serious tweaking on a desktop to even compete with a laptop CPU seems messy.
Those are single core benchmarks, the wow effect is because you are comparing on single core benchmarks 4 core against 24 core cpu , the 5800x with only 4 cores enabled would probably still beat the m1 , probably even with one
So the M1 strikes me as the result of something that Apple has the ability to pull off from time to time.

Perhaps you haven't been paying attention?

Apple shipped 64-bit ARM processors for the iPhone at least a year before Qualcomm could do it for Android devices. The reaction to the A7 was similar to what we're seeing now with the M1—not possible, there's some trickery going on, etc.

Apple is pretty good at this processor transition thing, going from 68k to PowerPC to Intel to ARM.

And it more than makes up for some pretty spectacular tactical mis-steps (I’m looking at you, puck mouse, cube mac, butterfly keyboard).

Except for the recent keyboard issues, you're literally talking about another era. I wouldn't put the shape of the mouse for the 1998 iMac in the same category as transitioning a $9 billion revenue product line to a radically different processor architecture.
No... I’d reread.
For the technically inclined, just use adb to uninstall the package. Bixby can be removed similarly, with no ill effect. That said, had a Samsung phone for the past 6 phones, and this s10 be my last.
The other problem with the type of "in the field" testing that Microsoft does is that it can only capture issues that it can physically report back to the head office.

I had two separate computers with very distinct hardware that both failed to upgrade to any of the semi-annual Windows releases. They would just get stuck in a reboot loop at the SSD storage driver loading section of the installer, which means that no errors could be written. Hence, no specific errors could ever be sent back to Microsoft other than "failed".

I eventually found a workaround myself, but the root cause was never fixed, and will never be fixed, because Microsoft is blind to it.

Similarly, anything that causes a BSOD gets reported back via telemetry, but hangs and freezes aren't. Random performance issues, glitches, etc... are in the same bucket of permanently invisible issues.

If you're wondering why Windows is crashing less but glitching more... there's your answer.
Well duh, that's a gamble. It works often enough so it is being tried again and again. It didn't work this time (or at least it seems so right now, we'll see how it turns out long-term though).
Covid: WHO in 'close contact' with UK over new virus variant
I've fixed two MacBooks with "faulty" RAM for family friends, it was a funny experience...

The first one just needed a cleanup and some new thermal pastes. But afterwards, when I was test driving the laptop, I found the machine started to crash randomly - the OS was a fresh install. And later, I found whenever I put the laptop on the metal chassis on my PC (it was on the same table), it could trigger a kernel panic. Oh no, did I accidentally shorted something on the motherboard to the chassis? I reopened the machine and reseated the board but it didn't solve the problem. I also tried to reproduce the problem with a multimeter probe, but it didn't work. I got the final breakthrough while searching the web using the laptop while lying on a sofa - whenever my lap kicked the bottom cover, it would crash instantly!

The DIMMs came loose. Reseating it fixed the problem - the machine was previously dropped, which also explained the cracked plastic I saw on the battery.

Coincidentally, one day later, another family friend (with absolute no relation or knowledge about the former one) sent me a message, showing a MacBook with random screen corruptions. I said "you're out of luck, better to get a replacement from Apple." Later, I was also told that screen corruption was not the only problem - whenever a spot near the keyboard was punched, it would promptly crash! I couldn't stop laughing, "Okay, just send it to me, it's a 5 minute fix..." And yes, the machine was previously dropped by kids.

Nowadays, most MacBooks come with soldered RAMs. But if your machine has sockets, make sure to reseat the RAM and swap the slots first before declaring the death of your motherboard or your RAM.
So if a machine does the physical work and if the chef has designed the dishes and likely needs to adjust them to account for differences in ingredients as well as tasting during the process to get feedback, is this actually fully automated?
Maybe one needs to dig deeper - all problems stem from our hunt for resources. This seems to be hard wired into life - man and single-celled organism alike.

Is this all there is? A never-ending search for resources, and the dopamine reward that comes after?

A post-scarcity society doesn't make things better. Nor will ascension to a type I civilization for that matter.

We need to be something different in order to behave differently. I have no idea where to begin though.

At home diagnostics and monitoring technologies
I would love to discuss your opinion on-at-home diagnostics and monitoring systems and technologies that are focused on monitoring the rehabilitation and healing process of critical injuries after you are released from the hospital.

Would you use that kind of device at home and stay connected with your doctor anytime, anywhere?
or

would you prefer the traditional way and visit your doctor every 4-5 weeks?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Well the funny thing is that once you crack FAANG interviews you can usually get offers from multiple of them and then money no longer becomes the decision factor. The choice becomes, “work on X and make $400k or work on Y and make $400k”. You bet the tie breaker often ends up being the prospects for working on cool shit.
In most programming benchmarks, single core and RAM is the game. That’s why the machine in this post has overclocked ram and an undervolted CPU. In that area the 4750u loses badly. In Node for example you will see nearly 60% better performance on M1.
The whole impressive thing about the M1 is that it is low power AND fast. With all other current gen processor you can only pick one.

> They simply dont have the muscle and inclination to go head to head with nVidia on GPUs.

I wouldn’t bet on this, Apple has a history of barging into markets and becoming tech leaders in them. Mainly because they have enough money and clout to attract the best talent in the areas.
That’s not how that works. The dividend may be larger, but that only is somewhat realistic if AMD were trading at 1x revenues (P/S ratio)...which they aren’t. Intel can’t afford AMD without huge financing or share issuance.
Does anyone know of a resource showing me some parameters for estimating how far different managed servers reach? How many concurrent users, bandwidth, etc.? Have a hard time getting a mapping for expected concurrent users -> hardware requirements. How quickly can you adjust the HW resources in a non-cloud setup if your startup product is more successful than expected?
I think it's interesting Apple is continuing what they started with Intel. Remember Apple's deal with Intel where Intel would hold back their newest CPUs from the rest of the market so Apple could have their big reveal and "Worlds fastest blahblahblah" blurb to push their Mac refreshes? But apple never really upgraded their proc offerings, and you couldn't upgrade your processor on the machine you bought, so after 6 months or whatever they would be lagging behind in performance vs what you could build or buy elsewhere.

Well I guess once AMD whooped Intel that was not longer going to be an option. Not only would Intel not be able to deliver their "World's fastest blah blah" marketing claim, but Intel couldn't afford to hold anything back from the general market. I guess their little deal with TSMC letting them clear the cobwebs off this strategy and continue it for a bit longer going forward..

Serverless is a PaaS. And yeah, those services could work too. Serverless isn’t the only solution that works.

No. There are far more languages that compile to Wasm.
> the lowest end first generation processor from Apple

That's an interesting way of describing Apple's highest performing, late model CPU.
Why ? Comparison on single core bench is at disadvantage of the bigger cpu not the opposite , the m1 would have seemed even better against a 128 core epic of 7k$..
Wait some weeks and see how it compares to a 5x00u , also consider that apple is 'cheaper' now because are trying to bring more people fast to help transition to arm .. then everyone will be locked in in the ecosystem happy to pay the 30% apple tax for the entire life of the hw
To do it non-cynically, you would need to, by coincidence, truly want to do exactly those things that are needed to get in: the same causes, organizations, and activities. That coincidence is unlikely.
Yet the best engineers in the field aren’t working on legacy banking apps. The problem is that once a product is put into production and the hard problems are solved, the engineering becomes significantly less challenging (unless you’re in an ultra rare scenario of exponential growth).

The problem we have in software is that we have engineers build bridges and then somehow expect them to stay around to paint the thing, change light bulbs, etc and stay fulfilled. A person who is an expert at making new things won’t like being in maintenance. It’s that simple.
> Does it really matter if useless surgery is popular?

Don't think in terms of only insurance. You need to account for the greed of doctors and corporate hospitals too, when considering if such "useless" operations are ok.

Think of those who do not have a insurance and yet are told that such "useless" surgery will help them. And they spend their hard earned (or worse, borrowed) money on such surgeries that may (if you account for the placebo effect) or may not help them.

In India, doctors routinely advise caesarean section, a surgical procedure to deliver babies, simply because they can make a lot more money from it than through a normal delivery (natural childbirth). And because it is less stressful for them! (1) A certain number of cases are also because the patient can't bear the pains of natural delivery and asks for a C-section mid-way, not really understanding that it is a serious surgery nor its repercussions on the health. (2) If this continues, childbirth through C-section might soon be the norm in India. (3)

> I can imagine that to a paleolithic hunter/gatherer it would be beneficial to use an arrangement of stones to "capture" a particular date. Dates of interest might be 'migration', 'planting', or 'harvesting' dates.

This is almost always done by observing the behavior of local plants and animals. For example, you might say that spring starts after the cherry trees have bloomed -- an event which is obvious -- and start your planting then. The precise date will wander around the year, from an astronomical point of view, but it will generally be better chosen each year than any fixed astronomical date would be.

I finished it on PC with little issues in a little over 50 hours.

But despite the time put in I didnt really love it. The whole game was an illusion of choice. The side quests and fights gave you some cool Deus Ex like freedom, but the main quest was an interactive movie with some meaningless options for you to engage in.

And given those cutscenes, and scripted parts are so plenty, I really dont see myself replaying this game with a different build.

Its 7/10 for me, nothing like the Witcher.
