Graviton2 is competitive sometimes with Epyc, but
also falls far behind in some tests (eg, Java performance is a bloodbath). Overall across majority tests, Neoverse consistently comes up short of Milan even when Neoverse is given a core-count advantage. And critically the per-core performance of Graviton2 / Neoverse is worse, and per-core performance is what matters to consumer space.

But it can't just be competitive it needs to be significantly better in order for the consumer space to care. Nobody is going to run Windows on ARM just to get equivalent performance to Windows on X86, especially not when that means most apps will be worse. That's what's really impressive about the M1, and so far is very unique to Apple's ARM cpus.

> oh also in the HPC world, Fujitsu with the A64FX seems to be like the best thing ever now

A64FX doesn't appear to be a particularly good CPU core, rather it's a SIMD powerhouse. It's the AVX-512 problem - when you can use it, it can be great. But you mostly can't, so it's mostly dead weight. Obviously in HPC space this is different scenario entirely, but that's not going to translate to consumer space at all (and it's not an ARM advantage, either - 512bit SIMD hit consumer space via x86 first with Intel's Rocket Lake).

> imply that they aren't showing it to Chrome and Firefox users?

No. It says that Chrome and Firefox users are not specifically targeted, it says nothing about then not getting the suggestions when they are a part of wider group, like Windows users.
Is anyone but Apple making big investments in ARM for the desktop? This is another ARM for the datacenter design.

If other companies don't make genuine investments in ARM for the desktop there's a real chance that Apple will get a huge an difficult to assail application performance advantage as application developers begin to focus on making Mac apps first, and port to x86 as an afterthought.

Something similar happened back in the day when Intel was the de facto king, and everything on other platforms was a handicapped afterthought.

I wouldn't want to have my desktops be 15 to 30% slower than Macs running the same software, simply because of emulation or lack of local optimizations.

So I'm really looking forward to ARM competition on the desktop.
aha, maybe it will happen sooner, not later!

Copyright for software makes it incredibly difficult to just fire and forget about a piece of code. I do not want attribution, I do not want to be held liable for it, I do not want to give support.

In the "default for-profit" view of copyright, not even wanting attribution is something that completely breaks the system and it saddens me.

Whether you believe that or not is up to you, but back then there was no guarantee it would work. To look with hindsight and say it was just greed is easy for you to hurl, but not at all what it looked like at the beginning.

They have said clearly that the core is licensed from ARM and one of the Neoverse future models.

There was no information whether it will have any good SVE2 implementation. On the contrary they insisted only on the integer performance and on the high-speed memory interface.
then why must it be imported as a 3rd party? this is my question on python in general. i get needing to explicitly import things that are not part of the core/standard, but why are core/standard required to be imported? why can't the methods they provide not just immediately available.

*clearly, i've never taken a python CS style class, but it this importing core functions is just strange to me

> I really want someone to ask Janet "do you have plans to ban Cash transactions because they are used for illicit activity?"

There are already existing controls on cash transactions. If you deposit cash in a bank account, you need to prove your identity and you're subject to anti-money laundering surveillance. Securely transporting and storing large amounts of physical cash, outside of a bank, is very difficult. I imagine that making or receiving large payments with physical cash is often impossible or would attract a lot of attention from authorities and perhaps even criminals.

> I would guess USD inflation is far worse than expected and they know Bitcoin's initial intended purpose (as an alternative to government money) has come to fruit.

Gold can play the same role, and has been banned in the past, but is unlikely to be banned again. The more likely story is that there are serious money laundering and terrorist financing risks posed by Bitcoin's intended purposes, and governments are trying to figure out how to get a hold on the national security / law and order situation without being to heavy handed.
He's good at rhetoric. The writing is simple with one point per paragraph and requires a low reading age.

It has a single and consistently repeated/implied message without any deviations or uncertainties.

All of that makes it persuasive.

But factually it's mostly wrong.

I'm not going to through it point by point to pick all the inaccuracies about the continuing influence of inherited wealth on success, or the unrealistically rosy implication of small business riches.

I'll just suggest everyone should research for themselves the real survival rates for small businesses, the small business sectors with the best long-term viability, the age group most active in creating new businesses, and the number of tech startups that makes any return at all to investors.

Hi HN !

A few days ago, I showcased Dresscode [1]: dress up your code with a beautiful GUI. Dresscode is a shortcut for creating a GUI, you don't even have to know how to use the GUI toolkit under the hood.

I think it is worth writing a tutorial for GUI dev while continuing to promote Dresscode [2]. It is also a pleasure to try to grab the reader's attention and keep it until the end of the tutorial.

If you are not into GUI development, let us know [3] if you were (partially) convinced by this short tutorial.

> The key issue is that personal wealth, after a point is wasted. Creation of vast personal wealth doesn't really serve society ... How much do you really care after your second billion anyway?

What do you think the billionaires' billions are doing? Sitting in a bank account? I think the majority of their wealth is invested, i.e. it is funding industry, which is a good thing. If we assume for illustration that billionaires will spend $1B on things like private jets and invest the rest, then if we have $1T divided among 10 billionaires, we'll have $10B spent on jets and $990B invested, while if we have $1T divided among 1000 billionaires, we'll have $1T spent on jets and $0 invested. Given that, at least for the concern of "how it's being spent", it's actually best to have the megawealth concentrated among a relative few.
The point about the demographic similarities doesn’t go away when you include outliers. Their are vastly more people with poor backgrounds so having them underrepresented doesn’t go away with a few exceptions sprinkled in.

People talk about America as a meritocracy yet, the US has had vastly more presidents closely related to previous presidents than say Black, Hispanic, and or Female presidents combined. That’s to put it bluntly not he outcome of random chance even if you’re limiting things to just white men it’s obvious something else is involved.

I think there's a lot of rhetoric that implicitly, or even explicitly, insists that there are easily defined bright lines here: "Say [thing X] and you should definitively be out, full stop" vs. "Anything you say or do 'off the clock' has no bearing on your work whatsoever, no way no how." I'm extremely doubtful those lines actually exist. Context matters, and in practice -- for both good and ill -- the social norms and mores of the time, place, and organizations in question are going to come into play, and it's just unrealistic to expect otherwise.

And, sure, this is political in some real sense, but it's not just the politics of "the other side." A C-suite executive at Patagonia is likely to be not-so-politely asked to find other work if they start publicly pushing Trumpworld's stolen election propaganda; a C-suite executive at a Catholic hospital is going to face capital-Q Questions if it comes out that they've donated tens of thousands of dollars to Planned Parenthood. What you do "off the clock" matters to your employer if they feel it reflects badly on them. This is not some kind of brand new thing that wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for those angry millennials with their twitters and their social justices. What's changed over time are the specifics of Things Perceived To Reflect Badly.

With respect to RMS, there have been reports about his bad social behavior for decades. In the last few years, our attitudes toward harassing behavior has grown a lot less tolerant, and "Ha ha, that's just ol' creepy Bob, what are you gonna do, am I right" is no longer seen as a sufficient response. "Sure, Bob is a creep, but he's done such great work, so just suck it up, Buttercup" sends a message to prospective employees, customers, donors, sponsors, vendors, etc., that companies and organizations are increasingly deciding that they do not want to send. I understand that this sucks for the ol' creepy Bobs of the world, but is that really sufficient reason to default to taking Bob's side?

The pro-RMS thread that runs through these comments[1] is, and I am only barely paraphrasing here, Stallman's contributions to the free software movement are so important they excuse his documented mistreatment of others for decades. In other words: be a big enough name in free software and you can get away with anything, baby.

And maybe you're comfortable with that message. But I'm not at all sure you should be.

[1] There is also a pro-RMS thread running through these comments which I can paraphrase as "but he was only hypothetically defending pedophilia and it's so dishonest of the media to present that as if it were weird and disturbing in any possible way," which, I mean, look. There's a reasonable discussion to be had about how "Think of the Children" has become the third rail of all internet discussions, but this ain't it, chief.
Taxes. They make a sacrificial lamb out of a few high profile tax dodgers. All the power structure has to do is convince norms that crypto is scary/dangerous/tax risk and they will have done their work. I think someone else made the torrent analogy. The crackdowns on torrenting were quite successful. They scared the public with some messaging, made a big noise about canceling regular people's internet service, etc. Torrenting has ben kept as a niche instead of mainstream. That's all the power structure needs, it doesn't have to completely kill crypto.
I am surprised at the amount of mention Dragon is getting here. It has been a long, and at times tragic road. I worked at a company that used Dragon's technology in a voice control product for the original Macintosh. Mostly, I worked on a Windows version for a multimedia architecture Intel was developing, which entailed the acquisition of Spectron for a DSP OS.

I got to meet a lot of the people involved at other companies in the project, including the Jim and Janet Baker, who founded Dragon, and many people at Intel up to and including Andy Grove. It was remarkable that he took interest in what was a relatively small project that was also distant from Intel's core products. I also met Jo Lernout, the L in L&H, which played a role in subsequent tragic events for the Bakers.

All those people, and most of the technologies from those days, are gone now. Dragon ended up a part of Nuance, which itself had been called ScanSoft, and, before that, was a part of Xerox that, if I recall correctly, was acquired by Xerox from Ray Kurzweil.

ScanSoft became a roll-up of a large number of speech technology companies. One of them was Nuance, and the roll-up was rebranded Nuance. Another acquisition was L&H, which had collapsed due to a financial scandal, which blew up after L&H had acquired Dragon. The Bakers got screwed and sued Goldman, who did the L&H deal. They lost.

And that is your capsule history of Nuance. Sorry to give short shrift to the acquired companies I have no firsthand knowledge of.

I believe the real story of Microsoft buying Nuance is that Nuance owns an enormous number of patents.
I cannot! I have just recently learned about it and am doing so for leisure, not for skill. I'm sorry I couldn't be of much use.

In fact I would love to know if someone else does have any other resources too :)
There are competitors- VRBO, for example. AirBnB have a significant share, but hardly a monopoly.

If Airbnb were just an aggregator, it'd be pretty worthless. For myself and my wife, finding superhosts on Airbnb is one of the indicators we use to feel comfortable that we probably aren't getting ripped off.

The relatively simple interface for scheduling, requesting changes, paying, seeing up front what taxes and surcharges will be applied etc. are all things the hotel industry has had decades to implement, and they didn't.

In fact, they still haven't. If hotels and guesthouses formed such a cooperative with all the same features, I would use it- especially if they didn't add on their own service charge like Airbnb.

The boom of renting rooms and houses may have come with its downsides, but from the consumer point of view, AirBnB has been a godsend for those of us who don't like hotels, travel with pets, and go to out-of-the-way places that don't otherwise tend to attract a lot of online presence.

People “attack” (read: criticize) their investors publicly all the time. Do you have a problem with all criticism of investors? Because that seems silly. Certainly they aren’t all above criticism. And contract disputes and negotiations play out in the public eye every single day.

And if you aren’t opposed to the WhatsApp or Instagram founders criticizing Facebook but you are opposed to Taylor Swift criticizing various stakeholders in the music industry you might ask yourself why you’re holding Taylor Swift to a different standard.
Social status is by comparison, that's why. I assume the vast majority of people would choose to be in the aristocracy somewhere in 1300 Europe, compared to middle class today. Even if objectively the middle class has better quality of life.
yeah nice, exactly. i like calling Temporal a "framework" for that reason - you'd have to code + provision all this stuff anyway if you're doing anything async, and you're probably not testing it properly/thinking through scalability needs or lacking debugging tools to investigate issues.

I'll volunteer that we don't have Python or JS SDKs right now but are working on it (https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-node).

i think `Thread.sleep(1, MONTH);` is a profound paradigm change in programming that I have been struggling to find the words to describe. It's like, where you used to need to write "multiuser" code, you can now write code as if you simply have one machine per user and it idled or did work as long as your user's activity is still going, whether we're talking the end-to-end journey of a food delivery startup or machine learning data pipelines or infrastructure provisioning at a cloud startup (you can even run a workflow for forever, with some careful segmentation https://docs.temporal.io/docs/concept-workflows#faq).

this is useful market research for us, thank you for taking up the suggestion :)
It would be very interesting to re-order the list by the amount of liquid wealth that each person owns, not including fake founder stock wealth that can't be e.g. theoretically sold overnight to avert a world disaster -- very different from someone with an actual pile of cash or bonds or gold.

Consider someone's effective wealth as the amount of liquid USD they could hypothetically produce in a 24 hour period by selling all of their assets, including market dynamics, and then tell me who the top 100 richest people are.
I disagree. Take the war on drugs. They can't get rid of them, but they can make everybody sad. And that's the real world, which is harder to intercept.
> - google can push chrome on people in their search results. and google pushed HARD. So hard they dominate the browser market and chrome is unfortunately not known for privacy.

I didn't pay Google $200 (Windows 10 Pro retaile I payed for recently) for the privilege to use their search, so they are free to push some advertising alongside it. When I will pay $200 to use their search then I don't want any advertising from Google either.

> - google pretty much makes it impossible to get away from chrome entirely in android. Example being that you MUST use chrome webview when using the google search app. Even though everything else uses firefox for me.

Funny, I have used InBrowser ever since I started using Android 10 years ago (which btw, makes it possible to read all those news articles without running into free article monthly limits because InBrowser doesn't store any state between sessions). Doesn't seem impossible to not use Chrome at all to me.

> - ms doesn't have search results. sure they try with bing but its not nearly as good or widespread. MS does have windows itself though, so they push where they can.

They are free to do whatever they want with their software but I don't find it acceptable to pay $200 for that and still get ads. If they were to give me Windows 10 Pro for free, then sure, go ahead and put a bunch of ads on my desktop.
The x86 decoder is not running all the time; the uops cache and the LSD exist precisely to avoid this. With instructions fed from the decoders you can only sustain 4 instructions per cycle, while to get to 5 or 6 your instructions need to be coming from either the uops cache or the LSD. In the case of the Zen 3, the cache can deliver 8 uops per cycle to the pipeline (but the overall thoughput is limited elsewhere at 6)!

Furthermore, the high-performance ARM designs, starting with the Cortex-A77, started using the same trick---the 6-wide execution happens only when instructions are being fed from the decoded macro-op cache.
Would you bet on it?
I think online poker is a good example too.

Online poker never went away but it also didn't take that much to cripple the market to a point it couldn't come back from.

It also somewhat caused all the scams and shady practices to see the light of day.
The thing is, Taylor's version sounds completely different. Did Ben Thompson actually look at streaming numbers? All her fans didn't flock to the new version. They listened to it, but it's so different that the old version is still consistently streamed likely by the same fans.

Further, the new version isn't on some new platform or anything. It's not like Taylor Swift asked fans to fork extra money to listen to "Taylor's version" so nothing is really proven here regarding Taylor's so called power. In terms of accessibility, the tracks exist side by side with the original on Spotify.

The idea of NFTs is incredibly appealing to artists because the technology could allow for artists to sell music that can only be played by some client if the NFT for a track or album was authentic. Ultimately this is bad for consumers and you bet your bottom dollar that some new form of music piracy will be born if music tried to go this direction.
> In 1982, 84% of the richest 100 people got rich by inheritance, extracting natural resources, or doing real estate deals. Is that really better than a world in which the richest people get rich by starting tech companies?

Google, Facebook, Amazon are extracting human resources. More precisely they are exploiting it.

Which one is better? Doesn't matter. Once something is exploited it will disappear.
Having read a fair bit of discussion of inequality, I think that in any popular discussion if you see the phrase "gini coefficient" unqualified, you should presume it to be discussing income, even if the rest of the discussion was about wealth.

It's a very pervasive error.
