I think it is about half due to variable refresh rate and less than half due to hardware efficiency improvements, and maybe 10% due to a larger battery. The 12 and 12 Pro got 11 hours of streaming playback, the 13 gets 15 hours with it's larger battery and more efficient hardware, while the 13 Pro gets 20 hours with it's variable refresh rate.

It appears that the battery on the 13 and 13 Pro are close in size since they both get 75 hours of music playback. The battery is slightly larger on the 13 than the 12 which got 65 hours of music. (I assume hardware efficiency would have very little effect on AAC decoding at this point, there couldn't have been much left to optimize.)

So all in all, looks like variable refresh will be a potentially very impressive feature, both for smoother UI and better battery life.
From another comment:

Testing conducted by Apple in August 2021 using preproduction iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max units and software, subscribed to LTE and 5G carrier networks. Video playback consisted of a repeated 2-hour 23-minute movie purchased from the iTunes Store, tested with stereo audio output. Video playback (streamed) consisted of a repeated 3-hour 1-minute HDR movie purchased from the iTunes Store, tested with stereo audio output. All settings were default except: Bluetooth was paired with headphones; Wi-Fi was associated with a network; the Wi-Fi feature Ask to Join Networks, Auto-Brightness, and True Tone were turned off.

I'd hope not. We should normalize less surveillance, not more.
From personal experience (so not too sure how much you can generalize this), I've found the anti-science sentiment to be lower in Catholic communities compared to many of the protestant branches of Christianity I've interacted with.

As for Catholics, even the pope / the vatican is pushing for vaccination: https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2021-08/pope-francis...

It’s one guy. Making a useful tool. It even has an altruistic purpose.

Shame on you for twisting a well intended effort into a negative statement that suits your narrow identity political world view.

Separately, "regulate" didn't mean the same thing then as it does today.

Think about the phrase "well-regulated". When has modern regulation ever been described as "well"? And what would that even mean?

The meaning was intended to be somewhere between well-supplied and well-prepared.

Similar to how "regulate interstate commerce" was intended as to encourage and provide-for, not to limit or restrict.
Bypassing country firewalls. Accessing Netflix content from other countries. Protecting yourself when torrenting.

It's also sold using the same scare tactics that Anti-Virus is sold. By making people think their connections are insecure unless they use a VPN. So it pulls in a lot of the less tech savvy people who will most likely just use it for Netflix and further encrypting their traffic.

I don't think it's a bubble because countries are trying to implement all these weird laws and monitor the internet more and more. The UK for example wanted to introduce identity checks for consuming Porn. They can't do that when you can VPN to some other country.

No idea what software is running Manjaro Linux, Vivaldi or Skyscrapper City forums but these at least from front-end side seem to be pretty modern but, from a perspective of someone who was raised on MyBB and similar solutions, these are pain in the use and awful at displaying the information.

Kudos for taking on this project, and I like the idea! I think it'll be a big project to take it to the next level, but would love to have a search engine that's more useful.

Some reactions:

- The font is really big and the columns really narrow, so I get 3 - 4 entries per page, something like 8 words per line, and huge spacings between lines, which makes it a frustrating experience. I've been using the recommendations in https://practicaltypography.com/, which recommends 60 - 90 characters in a line I think, and line spacing of 120% - 140% (I like 125%). The line lengths here might technically fall within the lower bound, but it's really short, and for search results I'm going to try scanning the text to see if there's something relevant, so I think going on the long side is better here. At least make the width somewhat variable so that I can shrink the rather large font and fit more on the line.

- The results are eclectic, but I'm not sure it's usable at the moment. "scala append list" did not get me much that's helpful, while Google will usually at least put up some click-farming tutorial that although minimal effort does tend to answer the question. Both "mapo doufu recipe" and "ma po do fu recipe" had very few recipes, although the latter did have one. Unfortunately, recipe websites are some of the worst, with about 10 pages of description, ads, pictures, what-have-you until the recipe at the very bottom. "collection unmitigated pedantry" did return the acoup.blog entry at the top, though.

Good luck on the project!

I agree with that, and it depends on what you're building, but just having a second person to offload/distribute the marketing/growth work could be significant.

Same. I've lived in NYC since the tail end of the crime wave in the 90s. Walked past drug dealers 80 times a day when I was younger. Lived across from a supposed crack house in my 20s. I only personally know of two people were attacked on the street in about 25 years. One was sucker punched and didn't even see who did it before they ran off. The other fought off a very scrawny attacker with an umbrella. I've never been on the receiving end of anything worse than an insult. I don't know a single person who owns a gun and I've even seen one that wasn't in the holster of a cop. My number one fear of living here by a mile is me or my family (my kids walk themselves home from school) getting hit by a car.

Do you think committees would make better decisions if their members could lie about how they voted? You might "solve" the polarization problem by making it harder to know who to blame, but I don't think that would solve the root cause of people's frustrations.
I think that’s a typo and I’m after Josiah Zayner, the author of the the article here?

Thanks for the connection, that book looks really interesting.
They won't advertise that they can access geo-restricted content like Netflix because Netflix is constantly cracking down on VPN providers and blacklisting IPs. But it's definitely one of the bigger use cases.
I have no doubt people test GPT-3/4/J on HN. It's very possible this is a bot.

HN and reddit are probably the best mainstream platforms to train and test them. It's easy to automate posting, you have good API access, and you get human feedback in the form of up/downvotes.

Contrast against Twitter or FB, which are so full of bots and spam themselves that you wouldn't have nearly as much high-quality human feedback.

Given the availability of tech like the Pi now, I wonder what it would take to build a modern, child-friendly device in the same spirit around it: something that offered a fun and instructive introduction to programming, in a box that was self-contained, safe and practically indestructible. Design a case with a sealed keyboard? Expose standard power and display connectors with robust ports? Write some child-friendly software that might be flashier than what we had but was still in essence a guided programming environment with a simple but effective language? Maybe include some sort of USB connectivity, primarily so that older kids could also control external devices like light boards or robot arms or turtles? I haven’t come across anyone trying to do this that I can recall, but I feel like there’s an entire ecosystem’s worth of startup ideas in this space just waiting to be implemented. Maybe the next Sir Clive is out there somewhere to get it started.
I had a similar experience and what it seems like is that Apple devices have pretty amazing standby time as compared to most android devices I have used. This has probably gotten better over the years but when I got my first iPhone it seemed like the battery didn't budge at all if it was in standby, such as leaving it unplugged overnight. I never had the experience with an android device.
Absolutely this. HR groups now use automated tools to search resumes and filter candidates, which has led to a lot of keyword optimization of resumes. Mediocre talents with optimized resumes in up in interviews where I then screen using the most basic questions. And the questions aren't an attempt to be brutal, the questions will be around platforms and coding that they've directly mentioned in their resume. If they can't answer basic questions around things they've listed in their resume, then you know it is puffery.

Yes! As a kid, I was jealous of friends who had 'better' computers, but the appeal of the spectrum was seeing how it could be pushed to its limits and do amazing things.

Learning BASIC and then assembly on the spectrum got me hooked on computers, all thanks to Sir Clive making it possible and affordable.
Author here, so I'm biased toward Fortran, though I've been enjoying learning Rust as well. I think there are a few reasons.

First, Rust's multidimensional arrays are either limited and/or difficult to use. Fast, flexible, and ergonomic multidimensional arrays and arithmetic are essential for HPC. They are possible with Rust, but my two favorite Rust books not mentioning them suggests to me that they're not the focus of the language. This may or may not change in the future.

Second, Rust may be too complex to learn for scientists who aren't paid to write software but to do research. Fortran is opposite--multidimensional whole-array arithmetic looks like you would write it as math on a whiteboard. While scientists can sure learn to program Rust effectively, I think most scientists don't think like Rust, but they do think like Fortran. For somebody not familiar with Fortran but familiar with Python, I'd say Fortran very much feels like NumPy.

Third, such ecosystem would be built in Rust from scratch. In Fortran, most of the value is already there, but needs to be made more accessible with better and more modern tooling. For example, Fortran's fpm (https://github.com/fortran-lang/fpm) is largely modeled after Rust's Cargo because we recognize the importance of good user experience when it comes to building and packaging software. With the recent Fortran-lang efforts, we study many programming language ecosystems and communities (e.g. Python, Julia, Rust, etc.) to find what could work best for modern Fortran tooling.

You wouldn't work 41 hours a week if it netted you an extra mil a year?

People work longer hours because they either enjoy it or they think it'll net them more money or both.

If you don't care about that that's fine, but to call everyone brainwashed is ridiculous. When the difference between working a little and working a lot is the difference between 6 figures and 7 figures of comp, you bet your ass that many will choose the latter.
I find it entirely implausible that facebook, with their vast troves of data and an army of the very best computer scientists money can buy, is incapable of reliably identifying posts and users responsible for mass manipulation on their platform. Unwilling? Sure. Unable? Not a chance.
So, do you want to ban private car ownership, because some people are prone to speeding?

Do you also want to ban everything except heterosexual copulation for the sole purpose of procreation because there are sex addicts?

Shall we do away with video games, playing cards, dice and horses because some people have problems controlling their gaming and gambling behaviours?

How about making it illegal to own pets because some people neglect theirs? The same goes for having children.

Are we banning all food except reconstituted, fortified, protein—fat—carbohydrate sludge because some people have eating disorders?

A common use case for a repl is to copy and paste code into it, or to give code to someone and have them run it. It's nice to not have to think about what the code could do to the system before running it.
Oh, that's nice! last time I developed a browser addon like that (half a decade ago, tbh) that didn’t exist yet.

There's something to this. As a kid, I tried to learn C, but the idea of pointers didn't really click. I gave up and later learned x86 assembly and then what a pointer was became completely obvious.

A couple of years later in our high school's electronics lab, they had this radio shack "microcomputer trainer", which was a breadboard kind of thing with a seven segment display, some LEDs, a speaker, and a hex keypad. The great thing was how simple and straightforward everything was. There were about 30 instructions, and you programmed it by entering the machine code directly via the hex keypad. You did the assembly yourself on a piece of paper.

I don't envy kids learning programming today, because there is so much complexity in the stack below where you're operating. You have to just take on faith that things work a certain way, and it can be hard to reason about if you don't understand how it works under the hood.
All the major browsers support adding custom search engines. You just need to specify the URL template to do the search. The common format is to put "%s" as the search term. You can use it for any site, not just things that are considered search engines.

Firefox is a bit different, since you do it by adding a bookmark, and giving that bookmark a keyword. The other browsers I checked have an option under the search engine settings.

After defining the custom search engine, you just type "<keyword> <search term>" in the URL bar.

Well I'm comparing to UK (perhaps nee EU?) statutory requirements, of course there's some win-some/lose-some, I just think (even as a right-leaning^ bachelor) that's something worth legislating around.

Especially if you're (I'm not) pro positive-discrimination: the 'time with newborn vs. work/pay/career progression' decision is awful for gender equality, surely? Traditionally it is indeed maternity leave, and if you don't even mandate a good amount of that then the 'better hires' are men (all of us, family size decisions aside), women who won't-have/have-had children, and women who value career more.

(^: I say 'leaning' more because of US/UK political spectrum differences than anything else; feel free to read 'pretty solidly Conservative' in a UK context.)

The problem with more guns everywhere for everyone is that there will be more successful suicides, more lethal mass shootings and far more accidents with serious injuries.

Plus, I don't want the same 10-15% of drivers on the freeway who speed and don't use signals to also be guaranteed to own a loaded gun they don't know how to use.
Why not have another email address for less private uses then? Spams and scams are everywhere and imo email filterings is good enough to snuff out most these days, unlike DMs on social media (the junk in my reddit "chat" inbox is insane).
The OP quote about the female manager doesn't really imply whether it was paid or not, one way or the other.

That said, whether FMLA is unpaid or not depends on the state.

I took my 12 weeks of FMLA parent leave (as a father) and I was paid weekly by the state (California). There is a cap to what the state will pay so it was less than my regular salary but it was a paid leave with the state providing the income.

(On top of that my company made up the difference, but that was a benefit they chose to give. But even if the company was stingy and didn't want to pay anything during the leave, the state does provide some income.)
As someone who has to do lots of compliance activities, this is a fantastic tool, thanks!
I see your point, but I don't know another way to put it. It's like "why do men have swords on their wall more often than women"? Neither men nor women use swords in self-defense much anymore (at least not in the First World). But I would venture to say that there is at least a 10x factor of men vs. women having swords on their walls.

By the way, I'm not politically left-wing, and I do have a few swords on my wall (although no firearms).

I could see why you thought it was being said in this way, though. No offense intended; obviously there are many different reasons why a person might own a firearm.
> Have you moved the generation software from your machine to serverside behind the colophon page, making it no longer static?

What? No. Geez. The /colophon page itself, as stated, already contains the "transformations that need to be applied to produce the desired output".

Aside from that page, there is nothing except the runtime baked in to the browser that you are already using. That content lives as a file inside the source repo of the site you're trying to publish—and y'know what, even though I suggested making it accessible from /colophon in the final product, in fact, that doesn't even matter! You could have it be called README.html in the source repo for all it matters, just like I already mentioned.

There is no need for a separately installed "full language runtime". There is no separate binary instead, whether self-contained or not. There is no separate browser extension. There is no separate haha-here's-an-application-server-so-it's-not-actually-a-static-site-after-all. There is no need for any of those things. Why do you continue throwing even more of these types of questions my way when every previous one has already been struck down by an answer in the negative (and a "yes" to any of them would contradict the very premise)? I strongly suggest you go through your exercise of having someone else read through this, because this is exasperatingly repetitive in a way that is not my fault.

It doesn't matter who made the device and its OS, it matters who made the user aware of the existence of the app. And I'm pretty sure that was Amazon's own marketing. Your conclusions would only hold if the user discovered the Kindle app entirely through the influence of the app store itself.

By your logic, my ISP owns my relationship to HackerNews because I used my internet connection to post this comment. Oh and Apple does too, because I'm posting this from a Mac.
I think the modern browser API allowing sites to block selections is the real problem. Same with intercepting copy.

I understand. I was assuming that you were also using the Twitter API for the product itself, such that rate-limiting would affect API requests at some point as you scale up your users.
Fortran makes sense to the extent there is a lot of battle-tested and highly optimized numerics code written in it. It was mostly replaced by C and (legacy) C++ for new code when I last worked in HPC many years ago. Fortran is not an ergonomic language for most types of software by modern standards and performance parity was achieved a long time ago. I used all three languages.

Rust doesn't solve many problems for HPC, and HPC still often involves weird hardware targets compiling from some dialect of C or C++. A bit like embedded but without the market scale to justify tool investment. Fortran and Julia are more likely targets for a second language for the obvious reasons.

Another issue is that some HPC silicon has unusual low-level concurrency and memory semantics with no analogues in ordinary CPU architectures. At least in some cases, I suspect it would be require non-trivial modification of Rust's safety checking to allow it to work correctly on that silicon.
