Not quite, it is almost AArch64, plus some additional goodies.

It is AArch64, it's not like it's an incompatible ISA. The fact that it has extra platform features does not slow down the initial port.

I am also not sure what 'additional goodies' you are referring to, for which specs are available (you can currently only use the neural engine through Apple's framework)? The fact that it's the first CPU (AFAIK) that is ARMv8.6-A?
I know a couple of people who've done the same thing -- order a prebuilt machine just to get one of the new CPUs or GPUs. Hopefully it remains unviable for scalpers and thus viable for users who actually want to use what they buy.
It won’t take them long to develop that capability. So far there hasn’t been anything they can’t do.
> Safe zero-copy data (de)serialization, a notoriously difficult endeavour that is in fact so error prone without linear types that most production systems today typically avoid it.

I wonder how this compares to Rust's borrowing approach which can be used for the same goal. I don't know enough about Haskell to understand Linear types. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can comment.
I worked a 9/80 for years. It was awesome. I think the trick to this working well is for everyone to get the same Friday off. Companies who didn't do that saw serious productivity hits.
Vim has autocomplete too. This is not an argument about vim since I have seen vim users employing both conventions.
The recommended way to “rise” has been to get a higher education. Or, as the Blair mantra had it: “Education, education, education.” Sandel homes in on a 2013 speech by Obama in which the president told students: “We live in a 21st-century global economy. And in a global economy jobs can go anywhere. Companies, they’re looking for the best-educated people wherever they live. If you don’t have a good education, then it’s going to be hard for you to find a job that pays the living wage.” For those willing to make the requisite effort, there was the promise that: “This country will always be a place where you can make it if you try.” https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/sep/06/michael-sandel...
The lack of whitespace on the left and right sides of the page is jarring.
It’s okay to have your own opinion. I think it’s really easy to judge others when we are not in their shoes and to believe that somehow we could have done a better job.
As you point out, it’s hard to understand what would have happened in a different scenario.
This. And you won't have a consistent tracking mechanism anymore. You would have a month shift every decade. As a child the season in January might be winter, but as an older person it might be summer. The laws, customs, etc would need a drastic overhaul.

I'm impressed that the Terminator's CPU wasn't covered in thermal paste! How do they cool it?
To reinforce the point, NZ is 2nd "most obese" in the OECD after the USA. Australia and Canada are similar.

The US should really be compared to Canada - the most similar and closest country. Death rate 36 per 100k vs 91 in the USA , according to Wikipedia.

Just curious. I went and skimmed through the handlebarsjs link. I'm used to cl-who and can not see what the js lib does have that is not possible or harder in cl-who.

They are very different styles, though. With cl-who you write code that mimics the structure of HTML and that code outputs HTML. With Handlebars etc. you write your HTML in HTML and embed code in it. Some prefer one over the other.
No, I am not making an argument, I simply don't follow the article.
My understanding was that WebRTC wasn't specifically designed for video and voice applications exclusively, but rather as a generic real time, peer to peer communication framework that included capabilities for voice and video. Not trying to take away from your comment or anything, but maybe I misunderstand WebRTC.

The motte-and-bailey fallacy was new to me, thanks for introducing me to that idea!

For what it's worth, the "woke" people that I know in the real world (not twitter) are in fact advocating the sorts of "actual solutions" you mentioned. I know some people pushing hard for police reform but not dismantling or defunding of police. Actually none of those ideas strike me as very controversial. The more controversial "real-world" woke ideas I've seen are around affirmative action, forced pay equality, etc. And yes, I understand the arguments against those things.

Anyone give a comparison between Defold and Godot [1]?

Statistically no. But you need to convince people - that is the point.

We are not rational. We do not respond well to a car running straight into a barrier or stand-still vehicle at 100 km/h without even attempting to brake (such as the failure modes that Tesla has demonstrated) even if it does well most of the time and has better statistics than an average human.

And further, as noted in the thread, a good part of driving is assessing other vehicles and vehicles behaving oddly (even if it is objectively better in isolation) is really bad and will increase the risk of collisions.

I think google have experienced this, that people do not respond well do the driving technique of their car since it doesn't behave as a human - not that it does anything wrong.

Hong Kong.

It was the first major test of popular urban unrest vs. centralized authority (kind of ironic that an ostensibly Communist regime was the first) with the Internet in full play.

The story may not be over yet, but so far it looks like the differential advantage of tech is in favor of the central authority over the mob.

Oh, I totally agree! Yet another thing I should probably have mentioned, is that I work mostly from home (completely now, of course!).

Not having to waste time commuting is fabulous, and in my case all my colleagues work in other countries. We do have a small office nearby, and I choose to go in once every 2 weeks or so, just for a change of scenery and a wee bit of socialising.

One 3rd party seller on NewEgg has been ripping off customers for years. (You order something from them -- say, a mouse -- and they find some shitty used product on Ebay or someplace and ship that to you. Getting a refund can be a challenge).

Multiple complaints (including contacting the CEO of NewEgg) haven't removed this bad actor. So I just assume that this practice of retaining terrible 3rd parties reflects NewEgg's true* extent of their caring for customers, and I don't buy stuff from them anymore.
Is it possible that some of what was said was aimed at getting approval? Could another country have swooped in and reserved some of the supply?

Yes. Higher profit margins. Whereas before you were making bad copies of $50 goods, now you make a good copy of $1500 goods. Those more expensive goods carry higher margins.
From my small sample size I'm seeing around ~500$ / month (33%) more for renting vs what you'd pay on a 30 year mortgage. This difference might be covered by total costs of ownership, but according to the nyt rent vs buy calculator, you'll only be better off renting when looking at a time frame of less than ~5 years.

Greensboro, NC is on that list (which would fall in the more remote category) and the same still seems to apply. Not sure if my numbers are right, but a 2,000 sqft house from the 60s is being offered to rent for 1,500$, which is kind of ridiculous imho. Property value should be around 200k, with a monthly mortgage <900$:

Unfortunately, troll behaviour or not, that's how SF companies behave in the real world. The usability of their products tend to be proportional to how close you are (physically or otherwise) to the bay area. I live in Calgary and I would be very surprised (and happy) if I see self-driving cars here before the end of the century.
> Apple... committed to USB-C for all of their computers, but then are continuing to push lightning for all the other portable devices.

Ipad pro and the new ipad air have a type C connector. My phone and watch use cables that plug into the same Type C brick I use for my Mac.

But nitpicking examples aside I agree that they should ditch lightning. It's still entrenched for all the other devices.
I agree and have heard similar comments from older relatives. Make it while you can, because maybe one day you won't have that opportunity.
Manufacturing requires capital. We’ve had some of the highest effective tax rates on capital in the world for a while, and the Trump tax cuts didn’t help that much.

A California corporation has to pay roughly 30% of its profits to the state and federal government to start. Then it’s shareholders have to pay 25-30% of what’s left to their state and federal government. In practice that’s over a 50% rate, even if the shareholder is a low income retiree. There is little progressivity in taxing investment profits.

No wonder multinational US companies rarely bring profits from foreign subsidiaries back to the US.
Ebay has lots of junk (the worst being the people who drop ship items from Amazon marked up or just outright scams) but its also a source of really good deals that you really can't find elsewhere. Refurbished PCs, obscure electronics, mechanical and pneumatic fittings, lots of stuff I order for work to test/prototype which can save $100s-$1000s.

I also use ebay for various antique/vintage stuff (only <$100). Seems like overall a positive experience and the few times I've had issues I've always got my money back and the scammers account was closed, although I'm sure they just pop up again under a new name.
What sort of heuristic do you use to determine what areas need it? This seems like something a neural network would excel at.
Not magical, but you have to pick something. I suspect the goal is to pick a number that most would think is better than an experienced, awake, attentive (not looking at a phone) human at the wheel. So even the safest drivers would be safer on the road as the number of autonomous driven cars increases.

At only 1.25x it might well be worse than you. Keep in mind that the average safe human driver includes people that are tired, high, drunk, unlicensed, mentally ill, physically compromised, etc.

While common, someone getting killed because someone is drunk or asleep is much more acceptable than having a computer make a mistake.

If we want society as a whole to accept autonomous cars it's best to show a clear benefit to society, not just better than 51% of drivers.
They are not classified as safe for long term use - they're still not approved. They're been cleared by an EUA for emergency use. We don't know how safe they are for long term use yet, since those trails are still ongoing - Pfizer's 3rd Phase trials run till the summer of 2021, and Moderna's trial runs till mid 2022. We'll have more concrete answers then.

That's why an Emergency Use Authorization is just that - there's an emergency. The FDA is well aware that long term safety is still unclear, but given the circumstances, the risks posed by vaccination for the general public are outweighed by the benefits.
> When a human kills someone with a car it is almost always in a way we can empathize

Nonsense. You can empathize with someone texting and killing someone?

This whole post reads like an attempt to appeal to people’s emotional attachment to human drivers coupled with fearmongering about robots.

You are placing far too much emphasis one our ability to “read” other drivers intent and the impact this has on automobile accident fatalities. Many accidents occur without any chance to see the offending driver e.g. accidents at night, someone switching lanes when you are in their blind spot, a drunk driver suddenly doing something erratic, etc. Moreover, this so-called advantage of human drivers is statistically meaningless unless you believe that the number of deaths due to automobile accidents is at an acceptable level and that it cannot be improved with technology, in this case, AV. I certainly don’t believe that. In the not too distant future, I believe this position will be laughable. Through adoption of autonomous vehicles, many predict we will drastically cut the number of fatalities. Will there be issues along the road? Most certainly. But as long as the overall number is falling by a significant amount, we simply cannot justify our love affair with humans “being in control”. We’ve proven to be perennially distracted, we have terrible reaction times, we have extremely narrow vision, we panic in situations instead of remaining calm, etc. and yes, these faults do lead to the deaths of children. These are not theoretical deaths like the robot scare tactic examples, these are actual deaths from human drivers.
Yeah - it's cliche to say the book is better, but in this case it's not just better - the movie is an inversion of the book’s core idea.

In the book they send an elected representative group in the ship. She's gathering evidence at the end to confirm her story and persuade others that it's not a mass delusion (of which the mathematical discovery is a part).

In the movie Jodie Foster cries and says they have to take it on faith - basically the exact opposite of the book's message.
>They're not interesting cities - they're not places people want to live.

You’re very welcome. Always nice to walk down memory lane to an exciting era for the industry.

Fun office rumour from the time: MSFT offices were in Seattle, while most competitors were in California. Yet Bill and co always seemed to know what every new company - stealth mode or not - was up to.

Rumour was that Msft had bribed a lot of SV reporters to gather intel. Often in the cafes and computer clubs where people loved to talk.

When Clinton was elected, there was some government agency shakeup and lot of ex-FBI agents were available to contract. Quite a few VIPs’ security affairs (including Michael Jordan who was the biggest star in the world) were handled by these contractors. Story went that we’d hired a number of them into the competitor intel work. We’d known about Sun working on a user space VM since 1992.

No idea if these were true or just fair tales.
Windows 10X original design, which got delayed due to COVID, uses sandboxing for whole userspace applications, regardless if they are UWP or Win32 based.

One extra problem with Amazon is that a lot of products are sold by third party merchants and their site UX seems to deliberately obscure the fact. Same goes for Walmart, though I have less experience using them.

If I order from Amazon, from Amazon, I tend to have good experiences. If I order third party from Amazon it’s a crap shoot.

Well, that's not "goalpost moving" then, it's "improving our understanding and updating wrong notions we had".
We did have Amazon subscriptions, and it was a nightmare, esp. given how little contact Amazon allows with your customers.
That does not refute the point. M1 uses the AArch64 ISA, so for the initial port, the existing AArch64 support in OpenJDK can just be used.

Sure, they can make optimizations now or in the future for ARMv8.6-A or the Neural Engine (if they are ok with going through Apple's framework). But M1 could pretty much use the existing AArch64 code from day 1 and have good performance.

(See benchmarks that float around the net where OpenJDK on AWS Graviton is competitive with Intel CPUs.)

Individuals may not act rationally but regulators and insurance companies with their birds-eye view will see the hard numbers and hopefully provide incentives aligned with the rational choice.

In other words, greed.
Eh, i think i'd prefer 4-3 more than 5-3. For the same reason that i'd rather not work 60 days straight and take an extended period off.

As it is, lately i've been working longer chunks of days in a row, 14+ days without breaks and it drains me. It feels like each day after the next really compounds.

It's also why i dislike longer vacations. I get super antsy after day 3 or 4.
I hate to be the guy who answers a different question, but I almost did. In fact, I had placed my order and decided to cancel it later. The shipping time was a component, but I just didn't feel like buying the first generation of a tech that's basically non-upgradable (when previous version were). I was going to purchase it to work on the iOS component of a project, as I'd just switched to iPhone, but later decided to use the money to get some equipment more immediately relevant to the project. I may still get one later, when and if they release versions with more memory.
Obviously. Higher end products attract higher margins and a reputation for quality is a good differentiator compared to competing on price.

For example, Huawei is (or was...) going after Apple in the high end smartphone market and they produce extremely good quality products.
I am switching to one (not yet delivered) for my iOS dev work from a 2017 MBP. My main reasoning is price, and since my laptop mostly just sits in clamshell mode. I got the 16GB one, but can't imagine the 8GB will suffer for development work. I still do all my machine learning work on a PC

Consumers frequently lie that they prefer honest headlines

No. "Revealed preference" is exploitation of vice, plain and simple. Addicts might honestly say they would prefer to abstain, but still relapse. The same dopamine systems are being exploited in either case.
I'm not saying Belgium is doing pretty well, but it's a big factor to take into consideration.

If you want to compare with the US both that and population density have to be taken into account.

Not sure why I'm getting downvotes though. A lot of people don't know about this and saying this 5 months ago actually received upvotes because it informs people about it. I'm 100% sure the op didn't knew.

Something really changed in the last months.
My mortgage is about half what rent would be in Toronto. So that's not a hard and fast rule.
Yeah 4 GB is definitely not required if you're just routing on your router. In my case, my router also runs various services.

That would uncouple the months from the location of Earth in its orbit. If you're going to do that, you might as well go full-bore and just adopt a calendar that counts days, 8-day weeks, and years and forgo months entirely.

If you're going to keep months, but have an 8-day week, I'd rather see something like: 9 months of 5 weeks each (40 days) with an extra 4 days at the end or beginning of the year. Leap days could be appended to the extra week. This has the added benefit that the 8th is always Blernsday in any month.

In any case, I think there are advantages to only working 4-days in a row; and 4/3 is a better ratio for workers than 5/3; and I think you're just moving the goal posts, really. People 50 years from now would be arguing about going to a 4/4 week...

> typically: 1. rent is less than a mortgage

Why do you say this is typical? It depends on what you rent, of course. If you rent a house that was purchased a long time ago, it can be less. But a lot of rentals are in apartment complexes, and are newer and more expensive per square foot than equivalent purchases. I also think typically rental units are smaller than houses for most people, so I wonder whether you're really comparing apples to apples. Consider that for any given house, rent must cover the owner's mortgage, so it cannot be less than the purchase costs.

> if you're renting you have an extra $X/mo to invest in the stock market.

People usually use the down payment as the capital opportunity cost that you can invest as an alternative to buying a house. My question is this: statistically, how many people actually do it and make better returns than buying a house? It's one thing to talk about it being possible, and another to actually do it. I don't know how to consistently make better returns investing than I've made on my houses, and I'm not sure I have the energy to stay on top of it every month. Note your suggestion to invest instead of rent involves monthly adjustments of your investments.
Shame you couldn't just do 4 days worth of work and play hooky on the 5th day?
This manifested in an industrial policy which pushed millions of motivated citizens to mortgage their 20s in favor of english, philosophy, and psychology degrees. Education does not directly translate to remunerative employment.

Working on an automotive line still pays ~2-4x higher than being a manager at a Starbucks, with added benefits like a regular work week and weekends.
