I still don't know what you're disputing, so I'm not quite sure what to cite.

The initial presentation announcing the transition this summer was replete with references to "Apple silicon".

Here's the first press release about the new line of chips:

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/06/apple-announces-mac-t...

Besides the fact that it's in the title, here's a snippet from the press release:

> Apple today also introduced macOS Big Sur...includes technologies that will ensure a smooth and seamless transition to Apple silicon. Developers can easily convert their existing apps to run on Apple silicon...

Including the title, the word "silicon" appears 16 times.

13 of those occurrences are part of the phrase "Apple silicon".

Airlines? How many billions of flights and passengers do you have to manage daily as an airline? Don't forget, computers are fast.

Also I think airlines do just fine on core system form the 80'ies until now. They also don't tend to have software development teams with "hundreds or thousands" of people to my knowledge. So maybe not a good example.

There is only a hand full of companies globally really in need of all that "serverless" stuff as I see it.

It's true that ARM64 has a load-store architecture and fixed-length instructions (the latter depending on the former for encoding space efficiency). Other than that, the instruction set design is very far from minimalist textbook-style RISC ISAs like RISC-V. It has both flag-based branches and fused compare-to-zero-and-branch instructions. It has very complex immediate encodings. It has instructions for loading/storing register pairs. It has pre-increment/post-increment addressing modes of the kind that were hallmarks of CISCs like M68K and VAX.

It seems unwise to draw far-reaching conclusions about RISC-V or even ARM64's intrinsic merits versus Apple's CPU designers when there are so many variables. The frontend decoder hasn't been a frequent bottleneck in Intel cores for a long time and they could scale it up more aggressively if they wanted.

Apple's engineers did a great job. That seems to be the conclusion we can draw based on currently available evidence.
> They are stupidly easy if you decide to create the infrastructure for that. You have industrially cooked food, mostly through automated process, in supermarkets, sold as "prepared food". and actually, many cheap restaurants will have several microwaved prepared food in their menu items.

Everyone agrees these products are inferior in quality to the comparable manually produced offerings.

> Automatic driving is a very easy task in roads and cities that are designed for it. Instrument all bus lines with ground wires, put a radio beacon on each crossing and sign, a front radar/lidar to detect obstacles and 90s tech is enough to automate a whole city. If it was desired, we would already be there.

It's not that easy to redesign an entire city to accommodate a second transportation network. A lot of buildings would have to be modified. Its probably better to approach this task incrementally using the existing road system.

> It would be interesting to make a Turing test for cooking. I am sure that there are many robot-made meals that are undistinguishable from chef's preparation.

I'd like to see a cooking Turing test as well because I disagree with you and this is in fact testable, one of us is mistaken.
This is already a known variant (modulo the constraint on the second move not relying on the first). Best way to play it is that the white's first turn is only one move, then black starts with the first double move - this is the 12* protocol (first implemented in a game called Connect6), and it practically eliminates any first move advantage
I suspect it's because they straight-up lied about major features in the game.

Bugs are fixable, but there are major concepts that they advertised (and even showed in demos) that aren't even close to being done.

Even without any bugs, they might've still been sued for misrepresenting the product.
Wait a second -- that means your claim that 99% goes to the seller is false, which is even worse in my opinion because you explicitly state that they get 99%. You can't have it both ways -- someone is paying for the Stripe fees, dude. You should change your wording immediately to make it clear that the seller does NOT get 99%, they get 99% LESS Stripe fees, which is a huge difference, since your entire marketing strategy seems to rely on them getting 99% (which is not the case).
I spent a week in a small apartment with someone who had symptomatic Covid. Close contact the whole

An anecdote means very little, and certainly is not evidence that masks work without controls for every other thing that might have prevented you from getting infected.
The "medical" practice of handing out out puberty blockers and arbitrary hormones to every confused teenager who even suggests not fitting within traditional gender norms, is going to end up in the same chapter in the history books as when Inuits (apocryphally) drilled holes in skulls to let out the bad spirits.

Sometimes doing nothing (at least for a while) is good medicine.
I think "scaling from zero" is actually the more interesting part of server-less. With AWS for example, it's super trivial to get a lambda running: no EC2 instance size to choose or elastic IP address to set up. You don't even have to choose a back-end framework, or set up monitoring to make sure your system stays available. You can just start writing code directly in the console the very first hour you start your project if you want, and already have a functioning API.

When you're working on your MVP, you can skip dev ops completely and get your infrastructure cost very close to zero. Then if you actually do end up building a product which is fortunate enough to have to worry about scale, you can work on cost optimization. I think this is a very relevant and valid use case for server-less.
It’s too bad there are forced updates at all.

Anyway, if you make money using your computer, don’t update. If you make money making updates, I don’t know.
How do you mean 'robust'? Taxes are dodged but that's not a good argument against tax law.
You do not notice that either with the right setup. I also rather hire a good SA and pay 10-100x less monthly (for which I can hire an army of devops here in the eu by the way) with the risk of all hardware dying at the same time (which does not happen, not now, not in the 90s when I started hosting).

Sure serverless etc has it's upsides and in that case I do use it, I just encounter close to 0 companies per year that need it or benefit from it. Aws ways benefits.

It’s interesting that ivy students are trying to use their pedigree to get into tech. Tech itself isn’t impressed by an ivy university degree like other professions, nor does it really look for one in applicants.

There are many state schools that don’t require an insane ivy league resume to get into that have just as good or better paths to work in tech.
> In rich countries, less than 1% of the population work on agriculture. We could have a society without starvation even if 99% of the population did not work.

Modern agriculture depends on the technology that is created by the other 40-70% of the population that works. Additionally you have to compensate the people in agriculture with something for their labor.

> The fact that starvation is possible in a rich country is by design. It is not a necessary fact of the economy.

It's also a consequence of human rights. We have decided that forcing people to work in the field so that other people can enjoy the benefit of their labor without due consideration is wrong.
Okay, it doesn't add (I based that on another comment), but it still isn't a fair comparison

For $10 on gumroad (see https://help.gumroad.com/article/66-gumroads-fees):

Free account: 8.5% + $0.30 (USD) per sale gives $8.85 to seller

For $10/month: 3.5% + $0.30 (USD) per sale gives $9.35 to seller

And there's other options like direct paypal connection, where gumroad charges 6% or 1% and rest is charged by paypal themselves.

These comparisons will vary based on product price, but this is nowhere close to your 5X claim.

> where your boundaries lie along the spectrum from self-serving to doormat ...

Healthy boundaries are more consistent and universal than you think, with the massive caveat being different cultures handling boundaries differently.

But it’s more about the fundamental psychological nature of human beings and less about individual personality.

IMHO a lot of what you describe boils down to “people who could develop healthier boundaries through therapy or other forms of personal growth and healing.”
this is interesting as it is harder for an adult to get treatment to become infertile than it is for a child to get hormone drugs that can do the same thing

this seems to be in the interest of not having parents make knee jerk and unhelpful reactions, instead of the doctors actually evaluating potential underlying conditions of the patient

from my understanding, we are trying to accommodate body dysmorphia because it is easy to accommodate: give people what they want and the rest of us just say a pronoun so that they don’t feel marginalized, but for science this is a stopgap solution and there is interest in understanding and preventing the dysmorphia to begin with. It seems this message gets lost because people don't want to be seen as transphobic or don’t want the “mental health” research to be misconstrued as “I want to ignore those crazy people”, as a lot of transphobes do consider things that way. While this is inherently a mental incongruence, it is easy to accommodate while we work to avoid it happening.
Fundamentally, putting a thing in quotes distinguishes between what words you’re standing behind yourself, and what words you’re attributing to someone else.

(there are some other orthogonal uses of quotes, of course, my favourite being when we’re talking about words themselves rather than about the things the words normally signify. For example: My favourite type of animal is dog, but my favourite word is “dog”. The quotes signify that I’m talking about the literal three-letter word “dog”, and not about the type of animal)

In general, people (including people who work for the media) put words or statements in quotes when they’re doubtful of the veracity of those words or statements, and aren’t willing to put their own reputation on the line by making the statement themselves. Instead, they just report that other people say those things.

And so maybe it’s not surprising that a high percentage of stuff which gets communicated to people in that kind of quote structure eventually turns out to be untrue (and often is just laughably untrue on its face).

Since people aren’t stupid and since English is a living language (apologies if you’re a linguistic prescriptivist, but that’s not a fight that can be won), then it probably isn’t surprising that people have learned to associate that syntactic structure with falsehoods.

That’s just how it’s used in the real world. And has been for quite a long time.
I’m assuming you’re using Stripe Connect Standard then. Otherwise the chargeback is on the platform.

I've seen a lot of people using this strategy -- creating a null component that just runs an effect. It works and is totally valid, but IMO increases the API surface area unnecessarily. It should work without resorting to this "hack".

> modern x86 (everything since the original Pentium) breaks instructions into uops anyway and caches those, so if anything I'd say the M1 is impressive despite having relatively large fixed-length instructions

I believe this is covered in the medium article that was linked, in part of the discussion on the number of decoders x86 processors have vs the m1. It is in fact this process of breaking instructions into uops that seems to be the bottleneck, and it is apparently not easy to improve this due to the complexities introduced by variable length instructions. If you have reason to think that part of the article is wrong I'm interested in hearing it, I'm not an expert on modern day processor architecture techniques so I don't really have an insider perspective on this issue.

I can also imagine this approach having benefits as a consumer of services, but it's hard to imagine a world where vertical integration would not win over time. There's just too much of an advantage in terms of large cloud providers being able to optimize their hardware setups at data-centers to make their services cheaper, more performant, and more tightly integrated than 3rd party competitors.
Transphobia is common and widely accepted in the UK right now, and the UK is very culturally influential despite their current isolationist tendencies, so I suspect we're going to see a lot of transphobic misinformation here in the comments.

So here's one thing that is important to remember: Lupron, also known as Leuprorelin or Leuprolide, has no permanent side effects when taken alone. It stops puberty, but it doesn't prevent it. If you stop taking the drug, the process of puberty will resume completely as normal. Its purpose is not to begin the sex change process, but to allow time for planning what the next steps are (usually, hormone replacement therapy), so you are not racing against a biological clock.
If you are commenting here, you haven't really quit "social media".
>Calling work non-voluntary reveals more about the author than it does about the system they describe: that they feel that they have no choice. They have a choice, but the choice is unpleasant. That is not the same as no choice. Declaring that you have no choice is a result of the inability to confront the weakness to acknowledge the unpleasant decision.

The author is using the term non-voluntary in a different sense. If all your material needs are met, e.g. housing, food and hygiene — then working to acquire capital is voluntary. The pre-requisites mentioned are the foundation of an abundant society. Obviously someone in India is going to have a far greater need to acquire capital to sustain themselves' than your average metropolitan Australian; such is the wealth disparity that currently exists globally.

Don't get me wrong — I believe work is an important component of our lives'. Indeed it can give us meaning and joy amongst other things (perhaps routine as a fundamental). But what I think this author is trying to illustrate is that our current society as a structure leaves zero room for the disciplines that are either a) unexplored, or b) are creative in nature. If it's the latter then it is a mere pittance of what a full-time employee earns. That is the trade-off.
Observing other people’s behavior and feelings can be a positive activity for prosocial behavior and when used in constructive ways feels good to do.

Not unlike say, mindfulness. Of oneself, of others.

Yeh and to think society rewards extroverts as leaders but often introverts make the best leaders as in they take long periods of time to think alone and often avoid many pitfalls by doing so instead of moving fast and breaking everyone and everything along the way.
"You deploy, get an error message, and login to CloudWatch to see what actually happened - it’s all batch-driven, just like the bad old days, so progress is slow."

Even without cloud APIs and containers and whatever, I find there's a creeping thing that happens here which has been helpful to become consciously aware of and intentional about fighting back on.

Basically, the thing is that wrappers become interfaces. You write tool A, and then tool B, and then some kind of script C which calls the two tools and produces a result. Then someone says "dang, so convenient", and sets up a Jenkins/Rundeck/Airflow/whatever job that runs script C against some source of inputs automatically— maybe there's even a parameterized build capability where arbitrary inputs may be submitted to it on demand.

Before you know it, the fact that the original tools and script exist has been forgotten, because everyone's interface to this functionality is a handy webpage. And when someone wants to add more features, they don't even go back and change the script, they end up just adding it directly into the job definition. Before you know it, the full scope of what is being done on "the system" isn't even really available any more to be installed, invoked, and tinkered with locally, not in a meaningful way, anyway.

It's not even necessarily all bad, but when I see this happening in a domain where I have the awareness of the underlying tools (or I may even have written or contributed to them), I do try to help demystify them by writing up docs on how to do the local setup, helping others get going with it, etc.
As a transgender person I find HN members to be somewhat transphobic in previous discussions unrelated to this article about transgender issues. So unsure if it's a good place for discussion here. It would be nice if articles like the submitted one were moderated better. Feels like HN takes a stance of ignoring these gender topics or flagging them and while being more defensive of other non-gender topics that are controversial.

Puberty blockers are used for other medical issues and aren't considered dangerous or life damaging. Anyway this topic is somewhat meaningful to me because I really don't think people know how truly valuable it can be for someone to stall puberty when they desire to.

I find it appalling that cis society is quick to make sure no confused cis kid is harmed while ignoring trans kids that end up permanently disfigured by their voice & appearance from the wrong puberty. It's basically comparable to a cis kid having the wrong hormones damaging their body through puberty like a boy growing breasts and people just shrug their shoulders when it's a trans kid.

For context I went through the wrong puberty (I'm only 30 years old) and recently have been diagnosed with cancer. I'm choosing not to get treatment for the cancer and so I can get Medical Assistance in Dying because Gender Dysphoria sucks while all surgeries to possibly fix voice or appearance is like putting a downpayment for a house. Also was disowned by parents and struggled through university years because of constant bullying. Anyway I really hope people can take the time to consider that some kids truly know they're trans and it's not a fad to them.
We can debate how the monthly fee factors in, but to keep it simple let's just compare apples to apples - the free gumroad plan. For the free plan (https://gumroad.com/features/pricing), Gumroad takes 5% and charges a (3.5% + 30c) payment processing fee.

The 5X is in terms of the "take" percentage (1% vs 5%).
This is a touchy subject, but I feel the need to state the obvious, that 12 year old children think and do a lot of foolish things because they are figuring out themselves and the world. We need to trust parents to help them and protect them, that is our job. We know them better than anyone, we have experience, we even share DNA with them.

I know there are exceptions, but the default state should be to trust parents with their own children. Nobody is perfect and mistakes will be made. That’s life, we try to do our best. And no committee, politician, doctor, even therapist is going to be able to ensure they won’t make mistakes that are worse. And I love my kids much more than they ever could.
This is incorrect, and is exactly why this ruling has happened. It does have permanent effects.

If we lived in USSR, economy would be driven by the central planners. In capitalism, economy is driven by decisions at every level to allocate funding. Those who forecast the future best are the ones who get rich, because it allows the right companies to receive funding. Our economy wouldn’t be so big if it were organized by central planners, so I pardon those, although it does seem extreme here.

At some point we all need to understand there's no single perfect platform. Windows works for me so does Linux but both have their issues. I still useful work on both of them. I have very little experience with macos but from what I read and hear from friends it's not all perfect either. We are a point where OSs do so many things which means there's a huge surface of bugs can appear on. What's probably more important is, how much those bugs affect your work and how quickly the "vendor" is fixing them once discovered.
Does optimizing for a single system really improve performance significantly in general purpose computing benchmarks like SPEC? IIRC, the M1 also does fairly well with virtualized Linux.
You can still get "scale to 0" with cgi-bin applications. Yes, it's old (but it works). Yes, it's slow (so is Lambda).

Unlike Lambda, CGI works on any web server and any OS. It's also extremely easy to mock because the input and output is stdin/stdout, not AWS API invocations that cost money every time you run.

What you miss out on is "scale to infinity" (read: your bill goes to infinity too).
I'm excited to see this. It reminds me of a paper by Cameron Browne (http://ccg.doc.gold.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/browne_...), which does similarly, but using less advanced technology. While the approach was janky in some ways, the game that the system invented, Yavalath, has received some praise for being an interesting and compelling take on the n-in-a-row genre.

I've been dreaming of doing similar with an alpha-type system, and so I look forward to reading this paper.

Edit: After skimming it, it doesn't look like they're going the distance like Browne did. Browne had the computer evolve games that the AI would rate ideally, while the DeepMind paper only has the computer consider a handful of pre-selected variants. I don't anticipate it would have been much extra work to evolve games, and I would have found it much more interesting.
