I'm getting the feeling the first gen M1's was about dipping their toes, just launching the line and getting people ready for the transition. There are still rough edges, very popular pieces of software still haven't been ported over, and they definitely have some limitations (you're not the first I hear talk about issues with multiple external monitors, IIRC). I'm fairly certain that first generation was more about getting the I-don't-mind-tinkering early adopter types on board, then following up with more "complete" products next time around.
Haven't looked into it. I don't really find proof-of-stake very interesting at a technical level, though. I don't know what all that "research" could be about if they are just going with proof-of-stake.

Edit: taking a peek, their proof-of-stake algorithm (called ouroboros) claims to have some formal security proof employing game theory. That would be interesting to look into as I am not familiar with that technique.
Yes, carbon taxes everywhere so we can solve this stupid problem and focus on other things.

Apple launch M1 for their smallest cheapest computers first, if you want drive multiple screens you are not their target audience.

I think it's understandable devs are confused a bit, it's a flashy new thing and we want to try it, but it's not for power users. Another confusing aspect, at least to me, is it's stand out feature is battery life! We're all stuck at home though, so when is a charger more than 4 feet away from me?

Since they have an apparently amazing thermal headroom and battery life for their entry level machines I think it's safe to hope that whatever powers their 16" MBP will be a barn buster and meet your multiscreen needs.
Personally, I don’t see cows as very different from dogs.

They’re just as social and emotional as dogs are.

Intelligence wise, dogs are probably a bit smarter. But how much, I don’t know, they don’t seem that radically different.
Show HN: Physically realistic foam on water. Supercomputer simulation [video]
We did a simulation of foam on water [1]
using the open-source solver Aphros [2]
and visualized using ParaView with the Intel OSPRay backend for path tracing.
It took 20 hours on 14000 cores of the Piz Daint supercomputer.

The browser does not track users. What have you seen to suggest otherwise? Any data? It's fairly trivial to examine the network activity of a browser, as Leith has done at https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Doug.Leith/pubs/browser_privacy.pdf, and determine to what degree (if at all) it is tracking a user.
Apple brands one of these machines as a "Pro" system and previously offered 32Gb in that model's option range.

The person isn't the one that's failing to understand the market position of the two items, Apple is the one that failed to brand it appropriately. It should have been a Macbook Air & Macbook, not a Macbook Pro.

Although realistically at this point "Pro" has lost nearly all meaning in Apple's lineup. It's like an R badge on a car. Used to mean something specific, now just means a generically higher premium option.
Their own browser's users would probably just end up paying in their BAT tokens or be able to use it for free, as long as they have ad rewards program enabled in the browser.
Questions from a mostly-legitimate-but-occasional-eBook-pirate[0]:

1) Do you believe piracy has any legitimacy in cases where the publisher simply refuses to release an eBook version in your region? Example: try finding "One Hundred Years of Solitude" for sale anywhere in the US.

2) Do you believe there is a moral/ethical way to protest perceived price gouging among eBooks from publishers?

Example: A book from a well-known British fantasy author is £2.99 in its own region, but nearly double that price on the US store:

recently dabbled in building a mobile app for the first time and of the few frameworks I tried I liked Flutter a lot. It's very complete, Dart was easy to learn and just pleasant. Would be nice to see it on the desktop as well. I've usually sticked to Qt but they seem to be getting more and more restrictive with their licensing.

Also the fact that they boast "we blocked X many ads" directly above a Brave-owned embedded avertisement directly in the browser itself.

Scummy stuff.

You may be mixing apples and oranges...

The degree of ‘compassion’ one has toward an animal is not directly correlated to one’s opinions as to its intelligence.

My uncle raised pigs. A frequent topic of conversation was how smart they are. Without question, they’re smarter than dogs. (I had a pet pig growing up.)

Yet, we ate then.

An even more brutal example: slavery. It was obvious and undeniable that human slaves were intelligent; yet, that didn’t mean that compassion towards them was common.
When you sign up as a BAT publisher, you choose what currency to get paid in. It's just as easy to pick USD, and then it will auto-convert the BAT to dollars, and you would hardly even know it involves crypto. It's not some ponzi scheme.
Incidentally affecting the market is not market manipulation...
Ah, yes. We're even looking to use some generative models in order to even do variations based on data and then compare that we do similarly well between cases.

I guess the point I was making was that we want to make sure we don't then use this generated or modified data in order to test other algorithms in the space and say we're better. Simply put, it would be unfair for us to make changes to perform better on a hurdle and then put other algorithms through those hurdles. But for internal use, it's definitely great!
> This is why we want large key spaces

Yes, but large key spaces are really easy to have. The size of the key space doesn't cost you anything when you're encrypting or decrypting, but it costs the earth if you're trying to guess the key.

> and why algorithms needing offline brute force protection like password hashing algorithms artificially increase execution time and resource requirements

Ehhhh... this is more of a function of the fact that the password space is much smaller than it looks. Password cracking attempts generally aren't trying to exhaust the space. Instead, they're trying to guess the password based on the known properties of passwords. You start with common passwords and work your way down to iffy ones. You don't bother guessing rare passwords; there are too many of them.

Rainbow tables exist, but they have sharp length limits, precisely because of the explosion-of-the-key-space phenomenon.
I dont understand why its even a debate. If the creator didnt allow you to use his software, its theft.

Sure, there are methods to actually mitigate and make good use of piracy, but then, it effectively become free-to-use-unless-for-business/enterprise model of business. And that should be something that the owner decide, not the user.
To be fair, it once was the best model we had, before we figured out quantum mechanics. That brings up an interesting point, though: the way many of these things are taught closely mirrors the history of how we discovered them in the first place. This is definitely not a coincidence, but I'm also not sure whether it is the most effective way to teach.
> As a non-resident alien for tax purposes

It seems like you are (were) a good candidate for a more comprehensive service for sure. Perhaps a better wording would have been "it's pretty simple as a resident and (W-2) employee," which encompasses the majority of those filing, and who probably don't need a service like TurboTax or an accountant.

Minimal due diligence would probably have helped you not waste 1000+ dollars on a laptop that pretty apparently wasn't going to meet your needs.

You can't will the laptop into running linux/windows or x86_64 software. You can't will it into having better connectivity or supporting more than one display. These are things that you knew or should have known before purchasing it.

I think the value in a macbook air is that it's relatively powerful for its form factor, has excellent battery life, and is completely silent due to being fanless. A lot of the attractiveness of the product goes away if you _must_ run linux/windows or if you're using it primarily docked.
Ditto! Sometimes I wonder if the one largest skillsets of becoming an AWS “engineer” is learning to memorise the service names and how they associate to the service offered!

A decently fast laptop can definitely replace an older desktop computer without issue. When my old gaming rig died in 2017, I bought a laptop for work and plugged it in my monitors. Apart from graphics, the laptop was measurably faster on all accounts.

Probably many. It is a standard way to re-structur the debt of something which might be a viable business in non-terrible circumstances.

For middle managers and above, lack of promotion for several consecutive years at a company with as many growth opportunities as Google speaks loudly.

I never worked there and was interested in her story so I dug a lot around that time and found bad reviews that have long suffered from link rot.

"But then, suddenly, her peers were promoted past her. Responsibility for the look and feel of Google’s entire suite of consumer-facing products, including the Google home page, was taken away from her. She was moved to a less important product: Google Maps. She was removed from a council of executives that met with Google’s CEO. To industry insiders, this sudden change was a demotion for Mayer." - The Unofficial Marissa Mayer Biography published in Business Insider https://www.businessinsider.com/marissa-mayer-biography-2013...

I 100% agree with you. I think it creates lots of weird artefacts. I really like the continuous nature of the crypto world and smart contracts, and think the world will slowly pay off the technical debt of wierd arbitrary schedules and move to a smoother, simple, more transparent system.

After 2-3 years of working with one then the other, yes and no. They can be quite similar on some accounts, but not quite the same. GCP also has that very Google thing of having very slightly different yet still kind of competing products at the same time.
It is absolutely not true that men who succeed are "tremendous specimens". Sure - some are. But the vast majority are not. It is an erroneous and harmful conclusion to decide that "tremendous specimens" are hoarding all the sex. This false conclusion prevents young men from seeing the actual reality that attraction is multi-faceted and multi-dimensional.

I know any number of guys who are not tremendous specimens who have no trouble at all getting dates or meeting new women for hookups. Each brings something to the table - something that attracts partners. Each guy has learned about themselves and works to develop themselves.
"Fun" from a research perspective. (I've got friends who are IP lawyers and enjoy talking about this stuff.)
Well said! This is the reasoning that I had when posturing the question.
Basically the point is that I think it's first and foremost on you to prove that pain is an objectively bad quality in all cases.

Or if not that, to demonstrate why pain is a morally bad thing to cause in animals, without relying on your experience as a human being (who has meta-cognition, which animals do not).
You're not alone. There's a support thread with 31 pages (that continues to grow) about external display issues affecting all M1 macs (Mac Mini too... which requires an external display!). https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252174979?page=31
A computer is a device for running software. A particular implementation of a computer can be so flawed that it's unpleasant to use, regardless of the software; but it can never be so perfect that it overcomes that it doesn't run the software you want to run. If your preferred OS and software don't run on the system, you're not going to be happy with it -- I think that's what people mean when they say you're not the target audience. When people say that Apple builds high quality systems (which I agree with), I interpret that as meaning that the systems flaws, such as they are, do not interfere significantly with the overall goal of running the desired software.
For me this sounds like way too many issues, too little time to tackle. I‘ll wait a year or two until I get an M1 based MBP. Didn‘t even install the latest macOS because I see friends having too many issues with their setup.
It's a racket. Government already knows how much you owe them. So how about US government, like most modern countries, send you a form which says: "we think you owe us xxx$ (because of this and that), if not - provide extra information"?
We all live on this planet together, what we do affects others and while I think meat should remain part of our diets I think it needs to become a much less central part of it.

“Proctorio and Its CEO Are Worse Than a Proctology Exam”
Mozilla depends almost entirely on Google for revenue. As Firefox loses share, it gets less. This looks likely to spiral down until a collapse of some sort. I was stunned to learn that Apple has hired 35 people (almost all engineers) from Mozilla over the last few years.
As someone who writes novels for fun (with almost zero intention of publishing, self or traditional), I've tried so many different techniques when it comes to composing a story.

The only thing for me that is consistently true is needing to know where the story starts and where the story ends. Once I have those two things in mind, everything else comes by actually writing the journey.

I have never been able to successfully outline a complete MS and stick to anything even close. Characters written in real-time do weird things and take wild turns. For me personally it's so important to be flexible with that as to allow my mind space to play.

And maybe I'm weird, but in contrast to Smith's suggestion that once she finishes her draft she's done, I LOVE revising the first (and second, and third) draft of manuscripts. For me, having a messy house to rebuild is so much more fun than micromanaging the story while composing.

Of course I'm also never going to be the same quality of writer as Zadie Smith, so there's that.

I understand (and agree that it's a racket), but even so, it was worth something to me even when I was filing 1040EZs.
I'm going to disagree.

I deal with a lot of legacy interfaces with brightly colored icons and they can be just as confusing if not more confusing than minimalist icons. But I think people have a survivorship bias (we remember the good examples over the bad ones), as well as a familiarity bias (I like the things I grew up using!).

I think the benefit of flat, monochrome designs is that they force you to offload meaning into the layout and flow of the application. You actually have to pick out a nice, meaningful spot to put the button, and make sure it makes sense in the context, and make sure users can discover it easily. Compare that to an open source application that just throws a bright green plus sign at the end of a row of icons and expects you to know what it does.
I wouldn't have expected an Apple device of the last generation to fit your needs, let alone the new ones. Why did you buy the computer?

.. this is literally a post confirming that it was schnorr
When I was a kid I found some compression program on a BBS, that claimed to use "wavelets" to compress even more than was previously thought possible. It turned out it was using a similar trick (but this was in MSDOS, so it was just hiding blocks in unused parts of the disk and storing their addresses in the "compressed" file). I blithely used the tool on some things I had on hand that were taking up too much space, and predictably lost ~all of them.

I learned a little bit about information theory that day, and my sneakernet bandwidth was saturated for a while afterwards.

Profiling PHP in production at scale (2020)
"Killing TurboTax" is essentially a meme until we meaningfully simplify the tax code.

There is no software development team on earth who could catch up with the full capabilities of TurboTax without some sort of fundamental shift in the business. I really hate to say this as someone who makes a living out of it, but dealing with the current amount of complexity in the tax code with a piece of software that a non-expert could use is virtually impossible.

For the happy path (i.e. single individual, no dependents, no investments, no retirement, rents home), you could certainly build an application that handles these scenarios. The moment you factor in individuals who are bringing stock sales, multiple investment properties, ownerships/K1s and other complex scenarios to bear, its a different hellscape altogether.

Also don't forget that most states have their own independent tax codes as well, which further complicate matters. There's difficulty multipliers all over this problem domain, and you can be certain that the lobbyists employed by Intuit, et. al. are encouraging this.
The last time I tried to use a professional, he asked me so many questions that I haven’t used one since.
Is Python not an OOP language?
I think it is, so OOP design patterns still apply to it.

So the differences you observed might be not because of a language itself, but the complexity of projects these languages are applied to and cultural differences of the teams. So far I haven't worked on Python projects as big (in terms of functionality) as Java projects I've seen.

As for data science, so far I haven't stumbled upon any Python code that wouldn't look very similar translated to Java, Scala, R or Rust, assuming same libraries existed. Most of the code is very simple really: load data into some vector/matrix, apply some library code on it, get a different vector/matrix back, etc. The only thing that holds me to Python really are libraries.

As for concurrency - gluing systems together sometimes needs concurrency to cut the latency down. And in data science parallelism also means performance, and often it is needed. I'm not that convinced Python is a clear winner here.

I am dreaming of a crazy world where instead of foreign aid the US government simply enacts a bill that the largest agriculture companies have to expand into foreign markets with food shortages instead of exporting their food to them and replace the incompetent local farmers.
