Chromebooks with fans are substantially faster than the Pixelbook. Pixelbook was a fanless low power CPU design, and the Intel low power CPUs just aren't quite up to powering video calls and a bunch of heavy browser apps.

Chromebooks with an Intel chip that have a cooling system with a fan can use much more powerful chips and seem to be fine. Typing this from an HP c1030 which I've never seen slow down.

A) I doubt you need a $20 component to register a key press and do some canbus IO

B) If you did have a $20 microcontroller for Canbus control of a window motor driver but it saved $19 in extra wiring/labor (driver controls usually route to all windows), provides reliable debounce, automated one-push-to-open, and allows things like holding keyless lock to close all windows, it's totally worth it.
>Tesla is past the cash raising phase though

It appears to me that they are steadily issuing stock at the rate of about 20% of their market cap per year, or roughly at the rate of $10 billion per month.

It looks like the number of (diluted) shares outstanding increased by over 20% between 2019 and 2020.

What did that consist of? Their annual report says mainly:

- Issuance of common stock for equity incentive awards
- Issuance of common stock in public offerings

e.g. "On February 19, 2020, we completed a public offering of our common stock and issued a total of 15.2 million shares (as adjusted to give effect to the Stock Split, as described in the paragraph below), for total cash proceeds of $2.31 billion, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs of $28 million."

"On September 1, 2020, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with certain sales agents to sell $5.00 billion in shares of our common stock from time to time through an “at-the-market” offering program. Such sales were completed by September 4, 2020 and settled by September 9, 2020, with the sale of 11,141,562 shares of common stock resulting in gross proceeds of $5.00 billion and net proceeds of $4.97 billion, net of sales agents’ commissions of $25 million and other offering costs of $1 million."

"On December 8, 2020, we entered into a separate Equity Distribution Agreement with certain sales agents to sell $5.00 billion in shares of our common stock from time to time through an “at-the-market” offering program. Such sales were completed by December 9, 2020 and settled by December 11, 2020, with the sale of 7,915,589 shares of common stock resulting in gross proceeds of $5.00 billion and net proceeds of $4.99 billion, net of sales agents’ commissions of $13 million and other offering costs of $1 million."

Also, as of their 2020 annual report, roughly a billion shares were authorized to issue, which is on the order of another 100%, or double the current outstanding.

You might dismiss this as "way back in 2020", but it does seem to be their latest annual report.

Their latest quarterly report is as of June 30, 2021, and guess what? Shares outstanding are up about 4.6%. Compounded over a year, that's going to be just about 20% again.

Yeah that’s a really wild take from the authors. Nobody knows what’s that 3.2M is, maybe the guy was in debt, or that was all he had. Sure he doesn’t sound like someone I’d ever want to work even next to, but to suggest that the founder is supposed to burn his personal net worth to the ground to pay off employees of a failed venture is disgustingly entitled and cannibalistic on the authors’ part.

I’d take no severance over some guy having to sacrifice his or his family’s livelihood so that he can provide 10 people with parachutes.

Another case totally of course if that mansion was bought with company funds. In that case it’s fraud and charges.
Yeah, this is why for-profit schools are problematic.
I am baffled by the responses of some other commenters. How some can still defend the CEO here is beyond my wildest guess.

Sure, the boat and the house stuff are not really things that should put the CEO in bad light, that much we can all agree on.

Though I must say, if you're a CEO and you make such an effort to showcase every good thing going on in your life on Instagram, while you are firing 90% of your employees, that's just bad optics. I know I would be mad.

Secondly, another mistake the CEO did here is to not set the right expectations. How does "money runs out by November 2022" equate to "you're being fired this September"? It's an asshole move not to let your staff know that if the deal doesn't go through, layoffs are imminent.

Also, the comment about the CEO reaching out privately to people being fired -- I mean, wow. How low can you go? I have never been the company and CEO worshipping kind of guy, but I have mad respect for my CEO because he has constantly proven to be someone who cares about employees. Whereas this guy even lies to the media about something that can be easily disproven.
Windows 10 as "the last verson" destroyed Microsoft's and hardware OEM's best marketing opportunity. New versions of Windows always got Microsoft lots of press, people bought new hardware, etc.

It was all marketing because there were major "service-pack" level upgrades to Windows 10 -- they were just confusingly named and you still needed to know about them.

Going back to versions is an improvement even if this particular version isn't one.
That's a way more interesting idea. As it is it feels like a forward from grandma from 2002.
If the extra instructions also operate in extra state (e.g. extra registers) a kernel needs to know about their existence so it can correctly save and restore state on context switches
Surely that’s just a temporary thing as production lines fill their launch orders? I imagine the authorized repairers already have stock coming in Oct./Nov.
My bold prediction: they’re making it worse so that they can fix it in a future update. Why? There are only so many ways to actually improve things all the time, and it gets harder the more mature the product is. But a sinusoidal pattern of regressions and then “improvements” can be sustained indefinitely. It’s like an AC current: the features are the oscillating electrons, and the bonuses/promotions are the load.

> In the case of the screen, I think it’s much of a security issue.

I default to skepticism on this sort of explanation, especially when it involves Apple and third-party repair.

Of course, it might be possible to devise a very sophisticated attack using the screen's hardware interface and Face ID as a vector. If the iPhone was a security-hardened specialty device, I might find that to be a valid reason. It isn't; it's a consumer device, and one that's not terribly hard for sophisticated attackers to compromise, e.g. https://www.wired.com/story/apple-imessage-zero-click-hacks/
“This project will produce 10x the power output we put into”.

Yes, the Congress shares some of the responsibility for following the science so loosely that point wasn’t challenge. Still folks here are arguing about the moral relativism of deception to maintain funding.

Is there any dispute that the use of Q by scientist is anything but misleading?
What do you think I'm defending? Rwanda? Radio? Guatemala? Hitler?

I'm not defending any of those. I'm not even defending the book, which I haven't read. I'm attacking baseless whataboutism that seems, on the face of it, and possibly incorrectly, to express an "all look same" attitude about Africa, treating its enormous diversity of peoples with histories going back millions of years as if they were a single village. (Though, as I said, there's a lot of Bantu languages spoken in Southern Africa; it's not totally unconnected from Rwanda. But then both Guatemala and a substantial part of Confederacy territory used to be part of México.)

I'd welcome either alternative explanations or a mea culpa. (I'm guessing verytrivial has gone to bed, though; I think they posted that in the wee hours of the morning.)

I wonder when they do the "5 years of security patches" thing phones did. Not sure why people accept that for phones but not computers, maybe Microsoft and Apple will realise that this will work on computers too soon?
It’s a laptop. I’m not interested in selling it as it’s a great laptop and works fine for my needs. I’m a patient men and I can wait 5 years easily for proper wayland support. If it doesn’t come, then I think about selling it.

I’ve tried gpu pass through it was more annoying then installing arch to set it up. And made me realize that my dGPU is wired to my HDMI so I can’t use my hdmi while my dGPU is on my virtual machine.

Anyway, I’m not complaining about windows 10, I quite like it as everything works out of the box.
The asterisks for Australia and New Zealand indicate that mail sent using "Priority Mail Express International" (the service that essentially the entire rest of the world outside the US calls "EMS") is still going through. If anyone really needs to get something from the US to those two countries, at least it's an option, and IMO it's much more reliable than typical mail.
I’ve never really considered a chromebook for development, and I’m almost certainly going to order a new MacBook pro next month, but we’ve been using Gitpod lately and it (and presumably codespaces) seem like they are really freeing developers from needing beefy machines.

I know you could have gotten a lot of these benefits already by maintaining a bespoke dev server, but having a common set up for a team with prebuilds makes a big difference. Gitpod’s recent open sourcing of their VS Code fork, along with the growth of the open-vsx extension marketplace, seems like it will really open things up further.

Separatly, isn't this an obvious security feature, especially with I thought in display touch or face ID coming?

Though it's not clear why an apple authorized replacement would need to be distrusted, I'd imagine mostly third party shops would be on distrust list.

Apple does need to fix their imessage security disaster though first.
FWIW Almost no switches in a modern car (turn signals, wipers, door switches) carry a significant amount of current as they are controlled via confuzers.

Just built a car without a single relay. I used PMUs (basically boxes of mosfets and current sensors AFAIK).
I haven’t read all of the comments, but I would like to add this note of caution to all startup founders: if your startup innovation, technology or business model is largely based on someone else’s capability and that capability alone, then you have designed a single point of failure into your business and a high degree of risk to your future business viability. Using capabilities like Google or Amazon have to offer is a great way to prototype your solution and to get initial customer feedback. But you can’t depend upon these services always being available. For example, just look at the number of products and interfaces that Google has changed or canceled in the past 15 years. So if you do decide to take this approach, just go into it knowing the risk you are taking.
There's a lot of ignorance in some of the threads here, but the reality is proliferation of "custom" (but under license) ARM chips _is the end goal of ARM_. That's their whole business model. They (Arm, the company) don't manufacture anything. They just design and license their designs.

To be clear there is little risk in anyone manufacturing truly proprietary chips. ARM licensing ranges from "you shall produce exactly to spec" for those wishing to vertically integrate commodity parts to "you may freely modify" -- but in either case it's the ARM design being licensed. It does nothing but harm the licensee to build something novel and strange functionality.

This system has been working quite well for Arm for decades at this point. If anything, the fact that well-known brands like Apple and Google are spinning ARM chips speaks volumes to Arm's excellent business model. Nothing we've seen from either tech giants is truly revolutionary -- the smaller fabs have been doing the same things for years.

Why anyone ever sold Arm, I will never understand.
Once you are in the roach motel the path of least resistance is to buy other services from AWS rather than the competitors because of the egress charges. It is completely anticompetitive and I expect even the toothless US antitrust authorities will crack down on that.
They don't use UEFI/ACPI like every other PC.
Yes, it's certainly better than a Qualcomm monoculture would be. But ideally competition on CPUs would happen in the CPU market, instead of in the target product market with lots of vertical integration.

In a world where all device manufacturers design (or even fab) their own CPUs and make their own software/cloud services (we're already there in some ways, sadly), any newcomer would have to start with transistors and work their way up to a long-term cloud ecosystem. That probably won't happen any time soon, standalone chip designers will continue to be competitive or at least good enough, but you can see how proprietary chips can actually make competition harder in some ways.

You can definitely get a license that allows you to go hog wild and make breaking changes. I believe both Apple and Google pay for that.

But it doesn't help anyone to fragment too much.

While I have my doubts about that theory, there is nothing deterministic about this "genetic determinism". It says nothing about human value or "superiority".

It basically says that in Ashkenazi Jewish gene pool there could be higher prevalence of genes that make carriers better than average in certain cognitive tasks (which happened to be valuable in XIX-XX centuries, but were in much lesser demand before, BTW).

It says nothing whatever about any particular Jew or non-Jew.

And even if we find a particular gene in a particular person, there is no determinism. Other genes, nurture/upbringing, and sheer luck would play just as important a role.

And of course IQ is not a measure of human "value". Frankly, I find _that_ idea repugnant...

I also wondered about this possibility a few years ago and when I searched online, I found an example of muon tomography of the volcanic dome of La Soufrière on the island of Guadeloupe[1]. Cool non-seismic approach to a difficult imaging problem.

Specifically, I was wondering about neutrino tomography of the entire earth, but the low probability of neutrino collisions would seem to make that infeasible.

So much speculation here. Let me set the record straight(er). (I worked in Tesla FW, left 5 years ago.) Tesla does use industry best practices. All code must pass MISRA checkers, code is modular, and reused when possible. We used all sorts of chips (that were auto qual) of many different architectures. We had extensive tools for e.g. stack monitoring, diagnostic readouts, and much more. If you move from, say, one ST ARM chip to another one in a similar family, the peripherals may be a little different, but generally work the same way (with maybe a few more or fewer features). So reworking the I/O drivers is work, but given the excellent layering of Tesla "body control" FW, it's really quite straightforward to pick a different processor from a given family. It's for sure true that if you went from ST ARM to Freescale/NXP ARM the peripherals are diff, so yes, more time would be needed to write the I/O drivers. But the effort ongoing when I left was exactly to make the appropriate SW generalizations so it would be possible to do exactly this.
I spent about eight years working alongside a software defined radio project. I saw the effect first hand. If you build an ecosystem in which folks with the appropriate skills can make a contribution, they tend to show up.

The main challenge is licensing, not technical siphistication. Most of the protocols in question are quite a bit less complex than wifi or Bluetooth.

Microsoft just doesn't get it.

Windows is a fundamentally mediocre OS that is made great by means of its wide compatibility with software and hardware. It's not sexy but it kind of works.

Then they figured we now live in a mobile/touch world and went in that direction. But hardly anybody has a mobile Windows device, so it misses the target. To this day, store apps look like they're made for phones.

Windows used to be a system where you had the feeling its yours. General purpose computing. Do whatever you want. Increasingly, it feels like some hybrid cloud OS, where gradually you give up user control.

Windows 8, a UI clusterfuck, introduced a new design language. That was 2012. Almost a decade later, and not even in Windows 11, is the UI consistent. It's a facade. Why does it take a decade to skin a OS?

Windows 11 removes customization options whilst that is exactly what Windows is about.

Too many developers were switching to Mac, so now Linux is integrated. Not in itself a bad thing, don't get me wrong.

It seems they're running in every direction at once and just give up on each direction halfway through.
I think you misunderstood me. In the vacuum of science providing an answer, someone will.

> Dawkins: Why the theologians? Why not the gardeners?

I’ve never heard this. My initial reaction is that “god” exists in the unknown. Asking “why go to the mystics for mystical stuff” is a tautology. If you go to the gardener with a question unanswered by science, and they have an answer, they’re a mystic (or have made a scientific breakthrough).

> You can't hold a center-of-gravity, but we're able to reason about those pretty clearly.

Consciousness is not understood. Full stop. We don’t know what manifests it. We don’t know where it comes from. We don’t know where it goes.

We’ve scratched the surface of the biological mechanisms that give rise to the phenomenon we experience. If you look at me and see a biological computer, I think your statement holds. But when I look at me, in a mirror, I see a biological vessel I occupy; and I don’t know what “I” is.

Trying to oversell our understanding of the universe and our place in it does a disservice to science and the work left to be done.
