Traditionally “bare-metal” would refer to running directly on physical hardware with no operating system. In the context of cloud providers, “metal” does now seem to mean “doesn’t run in a VM” but to varying extents. Seems like an unnecessary overload.
Several other commenters seem to have missed a detail from the article: in every single one of these tests the software is running natively on both the Dell and Intel Mac and entirely in emulation on the M1.

That said, we already have had plenty of these comparisons done, I don't think there is anything revolutionary here, this is more an article targeted towards people who do a specific task (photography) than tech news in general.

“People got along with their lives just fine for thousands of years without feeling compelled to debate a stranger from hundreds of miles away for 10 minutes about theoreticals that scarcely affect their daily lives.”

That’s debatable (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missionary). They even went out and tried to kill strangers hundreds of miles away (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_war)

Many of those were in times when it took a serious commitment to even travel that far, let alone to wage war. It probably helped that staying put didn’t guarantee a quiet life, either.

Sounds cool but requiring people to sign-up before they can see anything is a turn-off.
I don’t remember if I had ever talked to Ryan, but I remember talking to people about this in forums and in person at Stanford and Cal in 2007. By 2005, the financial system was showing signs it was headed toward a point of no return because there was no revenue basis to justify the debt leverage, and the only way out was either extreme dollar scarcity, or previously unthinkable monetary base injections. Either way, there was some concern that we’d need a system of barter for those soon to be left behind by the banking system, and some hope that a massively decentralized barter network would be a more just and stable and productive economy regardless. The main theoretical discussion was whether a system could exist without a central currency. Most ripple believers thought that central currency was basically antithetical, although one based on unskilled labor hours might be acceptable as fallback. I believe this transformed into a resurgence of interest in HashCash, which had only been interesting for spam mitigation, but now looked like a possibility on Ripple. There were some weaknesses in the protocol, however, and as soon as the sci.crypt community got pulled into it, they dove into the double-spending problem. The old methods of Chaum’s blinded signatures didn’t work for decentralized exchange because you’d have to trace every coin back to its original minter. So the question was whether to use the network of confirmations to create an acceptable level of trust, or to maintain a central ledger, which looked a lot like a central bank. Satoshi’s concept was to use hashcash to both secure the ledger and issue currency. This was brilliant but antithetical to the no-currency concept, and re-ignited the debate, with Szabo and Dai reviving their own currency ideas and heading toward implementation with Finney. The ripple crowd were mostly interested in new ideas in economics, and as nobody could find a way of securing a decentralized exchange network without a currency, most of the interest faltered. Sure; you could decentralize the currency, but it doesn’t succeed in prioritizing reward to those performing useful work. At some point Mazieres entered with a more rigorous defense of trust generated by the network, but it still relied on a central token of value to process each exchange. Bitcoin emerged from the impending doom of financial collapse as a less hopeful but more realistic option, and interest in cryptocurrency in general fell off dramatically as the Bitcoin network went through its dead period of only one consistent miner, Satoshi himself. Ripple as XRP emerged much later in the post-Doge altcoin boom with huge investments, big claims about XRP in deals to replace Forex, hiring a lot of people, and were the only job option for the people that would be their critics. To the original ripple supporters, XRP looked no different than a central bank with, except that it was even more autocratic, unaccountable, and unequally-distributed. In no way did XRP fix the basic problem of allocating more rewards to useful work.

I could go on... but... just my recollection...

The idea that getting told to fuck off by random people is remotely comparable to getting banned from twitter or reddit is a great example of the desperation to point to some hypocrisy to distract from one's own lack of principles.
I once read a quote, possibly here on HN that said:

"Code first for the machines, then for others that will maintain your code and lastly for yourself."

And that I think for me nicely strikes the balance.
Yep. In Hong Kong we have "current accounts" but can still actually order a cheque book - which I did by accident recently and when it arrived want sure what to do with it. Hadn't seen one in years /decades.
Point here is that term bare-metal cannot apply to applications relying on OS features. Unikernels are the closest thing you can use this term in this area.
Exactly. Although it's a bit odd they added "Israeli". Israel != Judaism, yet the common automatic cry of "antisemitism" when criticising Israel is problematic.
In the dark ages, when running an OS in the way you're referring to 'bare metal' was the default, it meant running something without a traditional kernel underneath it.

Not many things are written to do that, of course. Oracle used to offer an installation mode like this. It was generally a gimmick - you pay for a tiny bit of performance with a ton of flexibility. There are probably use cases where it makes sense, but not that many.
>You can either: believe people are inherently evil and will support genocide at the first opportunity; or people can be influenced by pointed words from a group intent on manipulating them.

It is also possible this was a prevailing thought, or that the environment was encouraging of such thoughts, in that nation at that time; that something caused division, and that the nazi used this as a way to assert power and spearhead their ideology.

To think people can just tell you to participate in a genocide and everyone will follow is not recognizing the agency of human beings. The WW2 was a dramatic period that had a lot of factors, but having restrictions on free speech is unlikely to be one that would or even did matter much.

Edit: plus, the restrictions on free speech are executed and decided by the oligarchy, and when the nazism was its most vicious it had little reason to restrict that kind of speech. The idea that free speech restriction help in preventing propaganda is wrong; it prevents only some subset of propaganda which does not further the elite, which imo is worse than not restricting it at all. And even then, free speech restrictions cannot stop the spread of ideas and prejudice, whatever they are.
> I don't assume they are good, but I do object to simple fear-mongering over yet another new thing to be afraid of in our world

Why are you so hung up on fear-mongering? The title of the article is plain neutral. The article just reports the results of a medical research and quotes some medical professionals. I don't see any fear-mongering here. Isn't it just your interpretation?
If I had to make a guess I would say that most people's diet/lifestyle/stressful job is about 1000X more impactful to their expected lifespan than microplastics in their diet.

Sure, it sucks and I'm happy scientists can study this. But if I were running a government I would be putting all my money into improving air quality and reducing fossil fuel usage etc.

Ultimately there are always going to be many factors which are "killing humans" and a limited amount of money to spend to try and "fix things." By far the biggest "killer" right now is advertising and unhealthy foods so we should be focusing on that if we really care about the health of human beings. In addition, assuming we care about the maximum amount of human lives lengthened, we should be focusing on pollution, climate change, and the environment.

In comparison to these issues, worrying about microplastics is fucking meaningless. If you had 10 trillion dollars and wanted to increase the chances of humans becoming extinct, what would you spend it on, seriously? Who gives a fuck if we're breathing in toxic fumes all day or the planet is so hot we can barely walk outside?
The Democratic Party has a lot less interest in tolerating big tech than they have in the past. I'm cautiously optimistic Biden won't make the same mistakes Obama did here. But we'll see.

Now, at least, FB/Google/etc can also purchase the hacking tools, and try to defeat them.

If NSO is shut down, their employees will likely be scooped up by any number of underworld markets - the payloads will become larger, more audacious, and better hidden.

Obviously, the big corps know that. My guess is they are more interested in increasing their cover (what could we have done), than they are in security.
A bit of a side-note, but this needs to be said: articles like these should be a good wake-up call for crypto users that are still using web-based wallets (and their accompanying apps for mobile platforms) especially for storing LARGE amounts of cryptocurrency -- you're essentially trusting a third-party exchange (with many of them using opaque ToS and PP) with your private keys and as a result your funds (especially those platforms that don't use multi-sig architecture). And crypto exchanges' data breaches/hacks is getting more common by the day. [0]

Even Bitcoin.org has stopped recommending web-based wallets, like they were doing just a couple of years ago.

The best alternative is hardware wallets, but a good middle-ground is using self-managed, 'semi-cold' software wallets like Electrum, Armory, etc. [1][2]

Honestly, the Logitech c920 is still the 'good enough' option. It's cheap and produces a decent image.

However, the raw video can sometimes be a bit unflattering.

I would recommend using OBS as an intermediary between the webcam and other applications like Zoom or Skype. OBS has a virtual camera feature so that the output looks like just another webcam.

The reason you would do this is because OBS has powerful video filters you can overlay on top of the video feed, so that you can apply color correction and alter the brightness before sending it out. Even small changes can have a large impact on the quality of the video image quality.

I found this much more preferable to messing around with Logitech's unwieldy software.

I think a lot of people who have been reflexively buying new MacBook Pros every couple years should do themselves a favor and seriously consider a MacBook Air this time around. It's the same performance most of the time, and for tasks longer than 5 minutes, thermal throttling will only reduce performance by ~20% or so - for many that's still, plenty, plenty fast, when the baseline is a super fast machine. And in return you save some money, save some weight, get rid of the Touchbar, and get the wedge shape that doesn't put an edge right up against your wrists when typing on it the way a Pro does. Unless you really need every ounce of performance, there's a good chance an Air will just be a more enjoyable machine.

Why do you think the LG monitors outside of the Apple collaboration are not good?

Recently, I bought two 27GN950, which is a 27" 4k@144Hz gaming monitor with good colors. So far the worst part is the fan and in the long run the absence of HDMI 2.1 might be disappointing, but overall I have the impression of a good product.

Yes, it doesn't have the same PPI as smartphones, but I am not sure if we are going to see that happen ever.
we are running k3s on metal in production. works great actually.
we use haproxy as ingress and lb.
Where do you see the difficulty?

I've installed k8s with ansible on baremetal (kubespray), more or less just followed the steps here: https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/tool...

No network virtualisation, just Calico. Announce the service ips via BGP from each node running the service and ECMP gives you a (poor mans) load-balancing. Ingress gets such a service-ip. I used simply nginx.

Important here though is, that the router needs to be able to do resilient hashing: Removing a node or adding a node otherwise causes a rehash of all connections leading to breaking connections.
TBH when I saw the video my first reaction was that what these folks are doing is VERY dangerous. Elephant moms, like many other K optimized moms, are extremely protective of their babies. And it has been reported that they around the corpses of their deceased loved ones:

> I find it interesting that we never list other country origins when discussing their issues

I don't remember ever reading a headline, clicking into it, and discovering that it's about something happening in China. The country origin is almost always advertised right in the headline itself.

In fact, since I'm not a fan of most China coverage in mainstream media, the above fact allows me to filter much of it out simply by CSS (using uBlock's implementation of the :has-text selector), with no need for JS (via userscripts).
It doesn’t make you a bigot. “You must be willing to sleep with people with any kind of genitals” is not a widespread belief system among transgender people and activists.

Devfolio Experiments with Quadratic Funding for Projects
The article does NOT mention heavy metals anywhere. Maybe implied. But instead it focuses on fear mongering like this gem:

> “It is like having a cyborg baby: no longer composed only of human cells, but a mixture of biological and inorganic entities,” said Antonio Ragusa, director of obstetrics and gynaecology at the San Giovanni Calibita Fatebenefratelli hospital in Rome, and who led the study. “The mothers were shocked.”
Let us answer on the question “What is the anti-French Coallition?”. It is the union of countries that had the primary goal to return monarchy to the power in France. The coalition included UK, Germany, Austria, Holland, Russia.
When did the first Coalition started? In 1792.

When Napoleon did gain power in France? In 1799. So the anti-republican wars started before his actions.

How many anti-French coalitions there were? Eight!

The European rulers were frightened to death about revolution spread in their countries and started the wars against France. The goal of Bourbon Restoration was temporary achieved only in 1814.

Now, the article claims that Russia started the war against France because the Tsar did not want to join the England blockade.
Really? :)
England had been fighting France for 20 years, blocking each other economically. Russian forces already had had many battles against France before 1812, and the country was in the first Coalition.
Here we go, a conventional story where “bloody Napoleon was terrifying the whole Europe”.

The fear of revolution against slavery in some countries were not theoretical. Russia was under peasants mutiny during the Napoleon wars. The Tsar savagely choked the rebellion movements.

The history should be based on facts.
I mean, you're not wrong about China and authoritarianism, but calling US free at this point I think is a mild exaggeration. Corporatocracy might be more apt
ALGO/Algorand does that now...at least until ETH2 if the latter hits it's promised transaction rates.
For a few weeks now I've been doing something similar, using a Pi + v2 camera module instead of the HQ¹. This gives me an affordable(and hackable, to boot) webcam of a surprisingly decent quality with 60fps at 720p, which most consumer webcams can't do at all, since apparently no one cares about framerates(I have niche reasons for caring).

¹ It's also over a network with uv4l because the v2 720p 60fps mode isn't supported by the uvc gadget stuff. It's a bit of a shame, but I haven't had problems with the network transfer. The biggest issue with all this is that my Zero will occasionally overheat and the video will start freezing up, and I don't have much of a solution besides "don't put it in any kind of case".
Completely agree. I try not to let people cherry-pick metrics though. Things always change, and it is a good thing to question everything to test for relevancy...at least as far as a "smell test".
Why are those "the ideal resolution for mac os", exactly?
I have my desk in front of a window, facing the window. I keep the blind about halfway down though, because the glare makes be squint at the monitor uncomfortably.

The other option would be to not face the window, but then you have bright daylight shining onto your monitors instead.
I've mentioned this a few times but it does seem to be completely glossed over. Intel has for the most part been stuck on 6 year old 14nm and it's positively ancient compared to TSMC 5nm upon which the M1 is manufactured, it's to all intends and purposes two generations ahead. This is big card Apple got to play.

Intel have managed to squeeze an incredible amount of performance out of their 14nm (+++...) but it's at a cost and that cost was power consumption, they had no other choice with their DOA 10nm (hyperbole for affect :)).

It's not "Newspeak". Kubernetes is an application, it runs on an OS. You can call it "Newspeak" if you consider anything after VMs became super popular "Newspeak" (around 2010, I think?).

Bare-metal = no VMs or other virtualization involved.
If you already have something then great; but if you're buying it's easier to just get a lightning set and bulbs with a specific color temp than do a lot of trial and errors with bed sheets and whatnot.
