I'd think so, but in the US antitrust isn't really much of a thing. I wonder if they have grown large enough in Europe yet...
To take this comment as a serious question: Maybe, it depends?

Context is everything. Certainly compared to the same benchmark on the non-M1 hardware as presented by the author, yes.

In general this is a very specific test of multiple technologies and whether it is relevant or meaningful is certainly up for debate but if you take it on face value of the number being presented it is either impressive or not impressive based on what you are comparing it to.

I think the very specific parameters of the test here make the result largely arbitrary and irrelevant to an end-user when you consider that WebGPU isn't currently relevant to users.

Outside of the test and more generally the M1 delivers incredible performance relative to it's power consumption which I think is what is truly impressive about it.

Personally I hope one day Apple will finally give up on trying to make a hard stance about keeping the Mac/iOS devices separate and just give the damn things a touch screen. I know they would prefer that I own both a Mac and an iPad but it's really absurd when the only thing separating them now is touch input.
Along with all the other points made is the fact that the US is in a downward spiral with little hope of pulling out. The collapse of the US will likely be very bad for humanity, given the slavers who would replace it. SpaceX, and Musk's other endeavors, are some of the few that could keep the US afloat.

Having said all that, right now SpaceX represents by far the greatest progression to decentralizing humanity ahead of any extinction level event.

The stock grants usually has a 4 years vesting? that means after 4 years , you will not get any more granted stock? Does that mean after 4 years, your salary is going to drop down significantly
Supporting new and unique APIs/inputs/etc like WebVR is a pretty classic cross-platform problem and it's usually addressed by allowing native hooks. Flutter has MethodChannels which let you call native methods in the underlying "platform host". It also supports "PlatformViews" which let you embed native widgets.

It doesn't really need to have instant parity with "native" web apps at everything. Maybe Flutter is a poor fit if you have extensive native requirements. That's okay.
At this point it is very unlikely they'll fly them more than once, at some point in the future that is the total reason why they are designing this rocket.

I think fire control is what needs to be worked on at this point. After it landed there was an uncontrolled fire, probably from leaking methane that burned for a bit and, my guess, weakend the steel leading to warping and finally a rupture.

With that said, design tests at this point were really focusing on landing so now they have the next series of design iterations figure out how to keep fuel out of the fire.

This is incredibly naive of the current way the filibuster is employed. There is no care in how it's used because the line in the sand has gone from "did you vote on bill" to "did you block bill from being voted on" for attack ads. How can you say we're "careful" when it's tripled in usage.

The current reason we care about a few senators is because we are looking at budget reconciliation where you only need 50 votes. Outside of that you need 60 votes or you get filibustered.
It's really not. They are comparing it to ancient Intel integrated graphics. It's not the actual competitor in this class.
You're 100% right, except for one detail: human politics. Unfortunately, the organizations here on Earth actually capable of solving the climate change problem (namely, governments) move too slowly and/or are horribly divided against themselves (see: USA). As an engineer, I look at the problem and I come to your same conclusion; It would be far, far more efficient just to save Earth than to try to colonize and terraform Mars. Unfortunately, Earth politics being what they are (hell, USA has > 500,000 deaths due to COVID and STILL around 45% of the population thinks it's fake or no worse than the flu), our only realistic option for ensuring the continuity of the species is to colonize another planet so that if the governments on Earth collectively decide to ensure its doom, there is another place where humans can continue the species.

It's sad really. But it's the reality we're dealing with.

If you're doing an SPA where the HTML is just loading your JavaScript for the meat of your app it's straightforward to verify that file. Besides literally comparing its hash to a known good value there's the Digest header [0] which is a way to provide a resource hash to a client. From the browser side there's the Want-Digest header [1]. These replaced the Content-MD5 header.

While browsers support these headers I don't think any currently reject a page or resource if a digest doesn't match. But at least the mechanism is there.

There's also the draft [2] for signed HTTP messages. So a response can be signed and verified against a public key.

When I was an undergrad we had a trebuchet building competition between a team of mechanical engineers, and a team of physicists.

Believe if or not, the mechanical engineers were the ones who spent the entire building time making CAD models and calculating torques while the physicists just said "it is approximately a wheel" and start building immediately.

The physicists finished, and it worked beautifully on the first try with no tuning. That part was just luck for sure, but it was still beautiful to watch.
You've reversed cause and effect.
Call me old-fashioned, but I enjoy this rage against the machine. Nowadays the common engineer sees it as unprofessional, coarse.. but it's the old Zeitgeist of many a programmer before we learned the new trendy JS framework of the day and started talking about shares, compliance and dividends.
I wasn’t watching a very high res stream but did anyone else notice what looked like a blackish/sooty exhaust on the way up from one engine? Maybe it was just the video feed...

My hunch is at least one engine wasn’t performing 100% but the flight control software was able to compensate pretty freaking well.
That seems possible for eg JS lambdas, however mine are compiled rust so I don't think I'd be eligible for that :)

Another way of framing this is that Germany is successfully combating inequality, right? Professional-managerial class incomes and lifestyles aligning and sometimes inverting with working-class incomes is sort of the point.
The pissoir has been around Paris since 1830 [1]. Amsterdam has excellent modern versions that put the Unitrottior to shame. Why not put a sign near high-traffic areas that point to the discreet pissoir down the way? This seems more like product-focused design vs human-centered design.

Everyone once in a while you'll see a story in the news like "Congress budgets $x million to keep open a factory that builds 20 tanks a year even though we don't need more tanks"

Even though there's definitely a pork aspect, there is also actual value in being able to keep that sort of business continuity and institutional knowledge alive.

Ah yes, the Democrats, who will do nothing because:

- Many of them will virtue signal on Twitter but are uninterested in actually challenging oppressive power structures as they exist.

- They have the slimmest of majorities, requiring either bipartisan support (lol) or the support of “moderate Democrats” whose positions are at best center-right. Republicans were in this position for the first two years of Trump, and they couldn’t get any signature legislative achievements but their tax bill passed. The same is likely to be true for Democrats this time around (a watered down stimulus bill passed through budget reconciliation).

- The American system of government is a vetocracy that leads to resentment over government’s inability to govern/keep promises made when campaigning.

- The complication of being beholden to corporate cash. Great ROI for Intuit and every other company that benefits from nothing substantially changing in America. Being beholden to corporate cash is the strongest form of bipartisanship in America.
For me, I'd like/expect pipewire to lock the software volume at 100% and adjust only the hardware volume if AVRCP absolute volume is supported by the head. (This seems to be how Android and Windows behave.) I mainly care about keeping everything in sync so that no matter if I adjust the volume using the keyboard, GUI volume slider, or buttons on the headset itself, it'll always behave the same. A lot of the time, I end up needing to hit both the volume up keyboard shortcut and the volume up button on my headset because one of the two is already at the max.

There's some work on getting AVRCP absolute volume implemented here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/46...

I believe your first point should automatically work once this is implemented. Pipewire seems to already support remembering the volume per bluetooth device (though it's just the software volume that's being remembered right now).
The distortion introduced by particular electronics is considered an inherent part of the instrument's musical quality by some musicians. Swapping out a high fidelity modern class D amplifier for an old tube amp is kind of like putting steel strings on a classic guitar or violin, instead of catgut or at least a modern plastic meant to emulate catgut. The instrument would never have sounded that brilliant to the musician who wrote a piece before steel strings were introduced.

From an engineering perspective, guitar tube amplifiers are horrible at fidelity. But in terms of accurately reproducing what 1950s rock-and-roll sounded like live, they're ideal.
This is going to get added to the long list of stories where "actually this was misleading" gets about 2% as much circulation as the initial misconception-spreading story, isn't it?
Two things:

I once attended a meeting about our need to reduce the number of meetings due to decreased productivity. We never ended up reducing our meetings.

On my current project, it is normal and expected that we will attend an average of 2 hours in meetings per day, and therefore our actual productive hours are calculated at 60 hours per 2-week sprint. I initially thought this was absurd and that there was no way this could be accurate, but it’s actually true. Between various Agile ceremonies, standups, design strategy, and ad-hoc meetings most of the devs on my team do indeed attend an average of 2 hours per day in meetings. For me as a lead, that is easily doubled.
This is actually pretty cute, I just wish there was perhaps a "patience" mode that would just be a slower version of the screensaver mode. I'd love to leave this on my second display and let it grow over the course of an hour or a work day.

There should be a distinction between advertisement and manipulation of consumers into buying something they don't want or need. I think advertisement based on targeting should be severely regulated and restricted.

Kibana is just messy. Their demos don't show any actionable intelligence but just dumps data in various ways and the interface doesn't look focused. It feels painful to deal with it daily.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with Ionic. The stack has improved considerably in recent years and actually Capacitor, our replacement for Cordova, was just rated the highest satisfaction mobile tool on the latest State of JS survey. Cordova was definitely a sore spot for Us but we’ve since moved beyond that and you can use any web stack to build apps with Capacitor (seeing a lot of React + Next.js apps of late)
Khronos APIs aren't meant to be middleware. They are meant to offer a thin low level abstraction for different vendors, upon which you can create middleware which offers higher level abstractions. Most famously in Vulkan, where each part of the spec is built almost for a specific vendor. Image transitions in Vulkan were mostly designed for AMD, NVidia doesn't require image transitions in Vulkan code at all. Renderpass APIs were developed mostly for tiled (usually mobile) renderers which can optimize when they know which render targets will be written to ahead of time.
The default explanation for the share price going down is that the market thinks they're paying too much. And let's face it, $6.5B is pretty toothy. (Remember when FB paid $1B for Instagram and everybody lost their minds?)

But apparently Okta is also going to issue 21% new shares, diluting existing shareholders, so going down only 12% means they're actually kinda-sorta up 9%.

I was thinking of using Axiom to build sort of an "admin dashboard" from scraped data - kind of between library usage to white-labeling - where users can build their owns scrapers, as well as use built in ones I build.

Is that doable with your current product?

Also, this can actually be useful for my side-project, which uses scrapers on pages that often change their html ids and classes, which make the scrapers break quite often. Can axiom help there?

Ironic. So many discussions of Bitcoin's utility implicitly assume that the rest of the world also has the same sort of antiquated banking and payment systems used in the US.

Absolutely, and I think there's not much of a justification to hate a program like Gimp. But people do anyways, and it's a shame that they are missing out on some great open source software. Likewise, I think that harmless pull requests like this one are a better outlet for programmer humor then your end product.
Very interesting. My initial thought was that this should be something that runs in the background and grows very slowly, and then you could check it from time to time by running `cbonsai` from the console, or have it show on your desktop or screen saver. You know, kind of like a real plant, but it grows slightly faster and you have no maintenance.
This heavily depends on the framework you choose to use, and modern Ionic uses the stock tooling your framework does, so build times should be on par with any other project of that framework type. Earlier versions of Ionic had custom tooling and much slower build times.

Unlike you, I do not have much confidence that we will change our ways. Humanity consumes and exploits all that it has met, and will likely continue to do so successfully, or die out. Unless we find more to exploit, the latter seems more likely. Ergo the need for spaceships eventually.

Re: the last two points, they appeal to emotion more so than reason.
The SEIU in MN is the go to example around here; they got the government to consider personal care assistants (typically family members) to be considered public employees, automatically taking dues from their Medicaid benefits.

> on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups

Possible improvement: the students are simultaneously graded on quality and quantity, where one can tilt heavily in one direction or the other to get a good grade. Students choose their strategy: all in on quantity or quality, or quality leaning towards quantity, et cetera. At the end of the term, the surprise being that the students who leaned towards quantity (maybe number of firings versus mass) produced the most stunning work.
I don't know what that is but I assume it's some kind of American nonsense I don't care at all about.

I felt something similar walking through Weird Stuff Warehouse and seeing old SGI workstations that I used to covet sitting on shelves for a pittance. Even if you bought them, you probably didn't have a 13w3 monitor or software to get them up. and now weird stuff is gone itself.

It's that "it's gone and can't come back" feeling.

Short-selling is a way to profit off of a company's fall. It sounds morally wrong, but it also allows someone to put their money where their mouth is and gamble on a company's loss, with the risk being that they lose money if the company ends up succeeding.

Of course, it creates a perverse incentive. A short-seller who is invested in a company's failure will spew tons of FUD around the company, whether it's true or not. TSLA used to be one of the most shorted companies on the market, and many bloggers that were highly critical of Tesla were short-sellers, and the noise it created made it difficult to figure out how bad the problems were.

> Seems like a way to gamble legally in all 50 states.

You could say the exact same about long positions, which is nothing more than gambling on the success of a company, the same way a short is a gamble on the failure.
Reminds me of the old pets.com business model where the business lost more money as it scaled because at a fundamental level, the business was more costly to operate at higher scale.

I suppose there is nothing against well-targeted ads as long as the user has consented to having their data being used for targeted-advertising purposes.

The current landscape, however, does not prioritize user-privacy and serves ads to unsuspecting users who do not always know the terms they agreed to.

Moving away from the present opt-out to an opt-in model would give the user a say in how they would like to be tracked across the web. This is also what Apple is trying to do with its "nutritional-info" (not fanboying Apple here) labels. A user is free to consume the content they would like, but they have a right to know how their data is being used.

$15/h is a bit more than $30k per year. Taxes are quite low for this income bracket, so you get to keep most of it. As a graduate student I got to live on about half that much for 5 years. The rent on campus was low and the health insurance was cheap, but neither was free. Living in campus meant I didn't need a car, but in my last year I did buy one, a 13 year old SUV for $1350. Accounting for inflation, that would still be less than $2000 in today's money. Out of curiosity, I just checked on edmunds.com, and you can still get a 13 year old SUV of similar condition for a bit less than $2000 today.

So, I think it's possible to make a living on $15/h. Is it ideal? No.
