> there is such a strong brand of "anything new must be snake oil" that runs through the HN community.

I would say there's at least as strong a "brand" of "if it is a new way it is probably a better way" on HN as well.

I think making blanket assumptions in either direction is a terrible idea. Best to be aware of your own biases, and try to be as objective as you can in your decisions.

Experience matters, and there are new solutions that are inferior to older ones in many cases (yes, there is plenty of "snake oil" for sale). However, sometimes new people look at an old problem with fresh eyes and come up with better ideas on how to solve it.

This really isn't anything new. When I was fresh out of college I remember older programmers talking about "such-and-such" is just the old way of doing it repackaged. There is lots of oscillation in the computer industry.

The pawn shop is the exchange and yes, they provide utility. But one person sells a contract, another buys the contract. One loses money, the other gains money. The exchange isn’t part of the equation. It’s zero-sum between contract parties.
A friend ran into this for her solution in javascript, and the drastic speed up was replacing the javascript object with a `Map` object.

The M1 mac mini is air cooled and I believe that's the setup most are benchmarking against? The proc pulls just over 20W max load IIRC(best on estimates because Apple never talks about it so everyone just assumes all m1s perform at the Mac mini level but draw the air power).
The only great answer to this question would be the image itself. Like dancing about architecture or movie adaptations of video games, there’s no way to use written text to convey the essential qualities of an image. Yes, you can get various historical perspectives on why it has come to be so reveled, or accounts of what people take away from it, but none of that can give you a better impression of what’s so good about the image than the image itself.

Apple is very much a consumer level company. I’ve seen reviews quality wise that they are average with hardware failure rates.

They do try... for instance I’ve heard the reason they always charge more for RAM is labor costs from running additional tests to fail chips other companies ship.
The book "Art of Happiness" surely agrees with this title, it has the points of view of science and religion (Buddhism) on it and reaches the same conclusion.

It's a bit hard to take this serious because of the hyperbole, but I'll bite on the services bit: how is that different? Supose you didn't use linux for a decade, then went to a linux box with a desktop environment and looked at the process list: how different is that from 'hundreds of services that do Go-knows-what'? I mean I use it daily and don't know what half of them do.

That doesn’t sound reasonable to my (electrical engineer but 15 years since last involvement in processor design) ears.

Intel has enough product lines that there are no “unnecessary interfaces”; what were the unnecessary interfaces in the Intel chip used by Apple?

Similarly, so does Qualcomm and the tens of other of ARM licensees - any mass market design can find or customize a core with no meaningful dead weight.

It may be a contributing factor, but I have not seen anything to indicate it’s very important.

I give the “many small things done right” theory much higher likelihood - just as in the case if the iPhone, there wasn’t any specific thing that wasn’t done before - except
for a winning combination.
I went from an i5-2500K to a 2700X, I was going to replace it with a 3xxx series (3700X or better) but there is simply no rush, the 2700X is a monster on my workloads.

So I can sit and wait for the 5000x series to be available at which point the 2700X/2080 goes to the boy and the 5950X/3080 goes in my work machine.

Hopefully sometime in the first half of next year when stock levels stabilise.

If you let your car sit for a month, the battery may drain and the car might not start. They were designed in part around the assumption of regular use.

So too has evolution - through the happenstance and accidents of natural selection - ended up relying on the movement and use of the human body to regulate hormones, neurotransmitters, and who all knows what else. Exercise can help release endorphins, dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin...

Unsuprisingly, when we muck with that, there are problems. Not needing to move to avoid danger or to collect nutrition for basic survival is an extremely recent thing on evolutionary timescales, so this wasn't a problem before.
Yes, but random search for information is not always a bad thing. There's a time for exploration.

Well, if you mean CapEx because one needs fewer programmers and a higher AWS bill, then yes I agree with you. But if you mean CapEx because one needs fewer physical computers that they own and a higher AWS bill for computers that they rent, then no I do not agree with you.

First, the markup in just sheer ops terms is enormous. Minimum 4x, and in some cases 20x. Sure, you get a couple more nines of reliability, but 99% of startups don't need that much reliability.

Second, in countries like Canada where capital expenditure on computer systems can be heavily marked down[0] people still use AWS and DigitalOcean by default.

The main reason people don't do colocating is that it is a waste of time better spent. DigitalOcean is cheap enough. AWS is cheap enough and if the team doesn't have experience running Postgres, fine, they use RDS. Sometimes it's just sheer laziness at first that later blossomed into "holy shit, we're growing too fast to even think about migrating off of these giant AWS bills" which was essentially Dropbox's story if I recall correctly.

[0] 55% per year, and in practice they allow full expensing in the first year for petty amounts of outlay. For example, if your business is a data centre, sure it's 55% per year, but if you run a flower farm and fully expense a new laptop for sales the CRA is generally fine with it.

Yes, you can enable the "default encryption module" in the apps page like any other Nextcloud instance, as well as other apps, e.g., 2FA.
Dropbox

Might that be your problem, or part of it? Not 100% sure, but whenever I access machines with Dropbox all kinds of weird things happen like there's a ghost in the machines. E.g. deleting a directory managed by Dropbox through explorer consistently results in all its subdirectories and files deleted, but the directory itself remaining there, requiring deleting it again.

"With that, I see this as Apple locking us into that ecosystem rather than a choice we’re making on our side, so I’d rather lean into this and explore it further than doing nothing. If it comes out positive then we’ll be ready to make the switch before Apple forces us into it, and if not we’ll deploy something thinkpad-esque and keep our production instances x86."

As a long time Apple user (personally and staff wise), please don't tie your business decisions with company that treats professional users badly, every time they can. Your median developer benefits from Linux knowledge in general, you can deploy stable distribution without fear of compatibility problems after minor software update.

Apple marketing and lure is great, I have fallen for their game for 20 years. But I cannot be comfortable with ideas, business and management practices that this generation of Apple deploys.
Yeah, being successful has its problems, as everyone wants to game your search engine, but what has that to do with the changes they made to make their search almost impossible to refine.

Operators are basically useless, they may or may not be respected, I can't select results from discussions like there was before, etc.

So basically google decides what to do with my imput, I have no saying on what I really want, so I have to deal with lots of crap.

I'm really one of those lazy users, and I find myself using other search engines more and more, just because this reasons, and despite their "normal" results being worse than google.

This is specially bad in Spanish. There aren't many alternatives in Spanish and sometimes drives me crazy. To the point that I looked into crawling myself some sites and put some OS search solution on top (I'm poor and It's a lot of work, so I didn't finally).
Your logic fails me.

Apple has used exclusive access to advanced hardware as a differentiator several times. With screens it was Retina. They funded the development and actually owned the manufacturing equipment and leased it to the manufacturing subcontractors.

Also in 2008 they secured exclusive access to a then new laser cutting technology that they used to etch detail cuts in the unibody enclosures of their MacBooks, and then iPads. This enables them to mill and then precision cut the device bodies out of single blocks of Aluminium.

They’ve also frequently bought small companies to secure exclusive use of their specialist tech, like Anobit for their flash memory controllers, Primesense for the face mapping tech in FaceID, and there are many more. For Apple simply having the best isn’t enough, they want to be the only people with the best.
No the have a terrible history of catering to high-end needs, b2b and specialty needs.

Remember the Xserver? They killed off most of the high end video market with FinalCutX, Everyone in the CGI space will not forgive Apple for what they did to Shake. The drop of OpenGL made loads of CAD apps give up on Apple. AAA game developers have long ago given up on Apple making something competitive. And add to that the debacle that was the trashcan, and the cheese grater. Neither of which was anywhere near competitive.

Apple is great at figuring out what the mass market wants, for everyone else they have a very poor track record.
SnapChat and TikTok were both created well after Apple achieved its current market position. Not to mention the fact that I have only picked a few examples from a few categories. What will you say when I add Uber, Door Dash, AirBnB and others to the list? Again, I'm barely scratching the surface here.

You really can't escape the fact that applications built on top of Apple's platform are worth, in aggregate, multiples of Apple's market cap. I'm not an Apple apologist, this is just obvious math.

>Even the most hardened individualist has to admit a company gets a lot more done than an individual.

I think a big part of the argument is that "getting a lot done" may not be as valuable as we have been led to believe, and the things that we give up may be more valuable than we have been led to believe.

If we assume that a human often does what is in the best interest of that human, it is not at all surprising that we may have been misled by our fellow humans about where value lies.

HN has no user/private profile bubble which is the distinctive feature of social networks in my opinion.
You have the right idea. It can also help to think of it as a projection problem.

The image is displayed as if it were taken from a camera directly above the ground, but the radar is actually located at some other location. In order to create the image an assumption is made that everything is located at the same height. So when something like a skyscraper is actually hundreds of meters above the ground, the radar detections from that object are projected to the wrong location in the image. The term to look up is "foreshortening".

This is similar to (but not exactly) what happens when aerial photography is used to make maps. Building in Google Maps get flattened and the roofs are translated to someplace other than where they should be.

What also helps is to look for "shadows" in the SAR imagery. The shadow tells you where the radar is located. From that you can intuit what side of objects the radar is actually seeing.

A great example used in textbooks is this image of the Washington Monument. You can tell from the shadow that the radar is located to the north^. So even though it looks like you're seeing the south side of the monument, the image is actually showing the north side. The north face of the monument has been projected onto the ground in the direction of the radar.
http://image.slidesharecdn.com/radar-2009-a18-synthetic-aper...

So looking at the Tokyo image again. The tree shadows are south of the trees, so the radar is located to the north. The tops of the skyscrapers are closer to the radar than the bottoms, so the tops of the skyscrapers will be shifted to the north towards the radar. However, because the radar is located to the north, what we see is actually the north side of the skyscrapers. The false perspective makes it seem like we should be seeing the south side of the skyscrapers, but that's an illusion.

^ I'm just assuming that "up" is north.
What helps me is to walk, instead of sitting in a room. When I walk, my fidgety body is kept busy, and leaves my brain in peace, not even costing any brain-cpu cycles.

> Also not clear what benefit RISC-V would have for "coprocessors".

As the article states, the architects of RISC-V recognized that co-processors that assist the CPU to do more and more specialised repetitive tasks will be the norm. Thus, RISC-V was designed in a way to accommodate such co-processors, with limited instruction sets that make its CPU design simpler.

The Apple ARM processor is also similar - the ARM system-on-chip they have designed is highly customised with many co-processors all optimised for the macos / ios platform.

Apple's SoC contains a GPU, an image processing unit, a digital signal processing unit, Neural processing unit, video encoder / decoder, a "secure enclave" for encryption / decryption and unified memory (RAM integrated) etc. (Note that this is not a unique innovation - many ARM SoCs like these already exist in different variations. In fact, it's what made ARM popular.) Obviously, when a system software or application uses these specific units of an SoC to process specific data, they may be faster than a processor that doesn't have these units. And Intel and AMD processors currently don't have these specific units integrated with their CPU.

Anyway, the point the article is making that the RISC-V architects recognized that such co-processors will be the norm in the future, and thus the author is predicting that RISC-V will become more popular, now that the M1 acts a showpiece for the architectural idea the RISC-V wants to popularise.

One of the main reasons why excessive mobile phone use (of the sort exhibited by most western humans nowadays) is madness.
Let's summarize some basic realities quickly to give a picture of why lockdown was largely a farce as anything but a short-term harm reduction measure. For those of you here (I assume a slight majority at least) who live in bubbles of white collar work conditions that can easily be done remotely from within highly developed countries with fairly developed social support infrastructure and the means to amp it up for extended periods of time: The vast majority of the rest of the world is not like your bubble. Despite massive improvements in human standards of living during the last several decades, the majority of the world population in the majority of the world's countries lives in such a way that their absolutely essential daily economic needs can only be serviced by daily close interaction with dozens or hundreds of other people in urban situations. For the developing world this is a nearly universal need and even for the developed world, huge parts of the population have to do the same thing and there's simply no way for them to avoid it. Covid will spread among them no matter what kind of extreme measures a small privileged subset of the population smugly pushes for, and from there it will by one means or another filter its way upwards even to those who can indeed isolate without major immediate economic problems. So, unless a small fraction of the world that can entirely work remotely is somehow capable of completely cutting itself away from contact with the rest of the world of people who emphatically can't do this same thing, the pandemic will run its contagious course regardless of the measures taken haphazardly in one jurisdiction or another. This applies at both the global macro scale and the local scale, and unless you want to advocate an absurdly unrealistic level of social atomization continuing indefinitely with complete disregard for very real, very serious economic consequences, it's something that simply won't happen.
