m1 is already very different to A14/15. Why do you think they are "based" on the mobile SoCs?
The point of that one is “clearly excessive”, not just the intentional launching of an attack.
This time, they showed which laptop was used to compare the performance on the bottom left corner during presentation
There was at least one shot of it -- it'll be a gap in the menu, with top-level menus flowing around the notch if necessary.
Took away the ports just to bring 'em back and play the hero. Apple playing 5d chess.
For me, think about that memory bandwidth. No other CPU comes even close. A Ryzen 5950X can only transfer about 43GB/s. This thing promises 400GB/s on the highest-end model.
It's their marketing term for their HDR tech. The XDR displays are their flagship media productivity monitors. The new screens in the 14/16 inch MacBooks have "XDR" tech as well.
>Nah. It was hated by a small but vocal minority of users, of which HN has a lot of.

I have not met a pro user that wasn't annoyed by not being able to plug in HDMI at some point without a dongle...
I hope they'll make a Mini soon
It's very likely they'll include an option to have a black bar at the top of the screen, so that the notch is not visible. With the new Mini-LED screen it will be hopefully be dark enough to hide it well.
61% of people not paying income tax can mean a lot of things. For example, a lot of them don't have to pay income taxes. Children and the unemployed don't pay it.
This notch looks like it'll be fine. The notch I'm worried about is the one all the PC makers are gonna decide they need now but with zero integration or standardization with Windows.
I used to have loads of fun abusing Eclipse real time type checker, imagining software live with typed interfaces.

The IDE was my logical buddy, and every idea's possibility was rapidly shown with it. And I need to massage things a bit, I go faster because I know what's missing.

The only time I liked eclipse/java :)
Yeah, I'm on my second year with my first gen and they're still great.
Feels a return to form, finally approaching this machine from the needs of the users rather than what's compelling for the industrial design team.

Every bad decision of the atrocious 2017+ era laptops reverted.
The banks will be ordered not to deal with the said firms, so they will have no real money coming/going to them.

When I'm prototyping I tend to go inside out in a layered fashion - some days I am really feeling the data layer - other days I like to work closer to the fringes. To this end type hinting serves as a quick and dirty code contract before all my pieces are in place. I can splat out a bunch of low level definitions that I know I'm going to need and then come back the next day to add in struts - remembering my choices easily as I go.

I know this isn't the approach of choice for most folks but hey - I'm working with ADHD so I've got to make some allowances for some neurodiversity.
I personally love it, and wish every library worked this way. My argument is why go out of my way to make it not work, when it would be easy to make it work. This is because I think of modules/packages as user facing programs that are easy to tie together, instead of simple building blocks.

What I really wish existed was a built in way to cast and validate, or normalize and validate. I never care if something is a string. I care that if I wrap it in str(), or use it in a fstring, the result matches a regex. Or if I run a handful of functions one of them returns what I need.

The only benefit I can see of type hints on their own is it makes it easy to change a callable's signature, but I think that's best avoided to begin with.
So, now we know that LPDDR5 will be coming with at least 16GB per die stack. A doubling from LPDDR4. One package = 128 bit, a double of regular DIMM I/O width.

I see, it's not too much behind even HBM2, of which we may never see a mobile variant.

I was long pointing to people making laptops that LPDDR4 is much cheaper than DIMMs in overall, despite nominal per-GB cost being higher.

The elimination of manual assembly, termination, extra through hole parts, along with LPDDR actually taking less PCB area, less layers, and being less demanding of the PCB material easily compensates for higher chip cost.
Yeah my airpods died after like a year and a half of use. When my brand new M1 macbook air died after a month of use I took it to the apple store and the "genius" next to me told someone with dead airpods that it's normal and that they have to buy a replacement pod.
Apple store is crashing after this event.
Python is not without types, there are dynamic types.

it is useful because it will be on the middle of the status bar. After 2 hours my guess nobody would notice anything weird. Like with the iphones, but this one actually makes sense.
But if you die first, you won't get there, making the "eventually" false, hehe.

My point is that I don't think saying "try and you'll make eventually make it" is very accurate. Survivor bias makes many people say so, but the reality is that everyone should know that you may never get there.

It's helpful for motivation to say to yourself (and others) that if you stick to it then it'll eventually work, but it's never a guarantee.
The new "feature" is that the function keys are full height. Apple laptops had half height function keys for as long as I can remember.
Well, no - they immediately followed the discrete laptop graphic comparison with a desktop graphic comparison, highlighting how much more power they draw for "the same" performance.
For my full screen web browser it's right where the tabs go.
Killer specs, better keyboard (no touchbar), more ports, and yet the most frequent comment here is about the notch. HN is a tough crowd to say the least, in this instance IMO to the point of it being comical.
Please describe how you would get rid of the concept of capital. I'm honestly curious. Isn't capital just money that has been saved and can be invested? Is the money in your savings account not "Capital"? Surely you're not proposing getting rid of money. That would be silly. Barter becomes an O(n^2) problem. I'm baffled trying to figure which specific laws could be removed to delete capital from our society. Maybe you've read some secret communist literature that lays out a plan or something. Or maybe you're defining "Capital" in a way that is nonstandard or otherwise unfamiliar.
I love how they boasted about bringing back the regular keyboard. Even though they're solving a problem them created.
My thought as well. That's a software features as long as the requisite hardware is there. There is a track record of hardware sitting dormant on some Apple hardware, too.
I currently use a 4K monitor and a 2K monitor side by side for my work with 1.5x scaling on the 4K monitor, so things are the same size on both. Gnome only allowed integer scaling by default, but IIRC I enabled fractional scaling with a dconf setting that I found through googling. I don't have any issues with this setup, although obviously things look more clear on the 4K monitor, so some people might not like the disparity.
If your job requires you to be in New York I'm not clear what else you can do.

Income doesn't scale well in America. If anything taxes are way too high on middle class people. No one making less than a million a year should pay over 30% in taxes.
I won't be getting one, because the M1 Air is currently more than enough for comfortable webdev, but I'm genuinely happy for people who will be getting one, because those things are incredible!
Is there any VR for the Mac? Seems like the machine is more-than-ready for VR!
Yeah, in three years with the Pros now (or whatever it is -- 2-3), I have basically never run out of batteries. You can always put one in the charger to charge while the other stays out.
harder to make 100k 23 years ago than it is today. by the time you finish a 2k/mo journey you begin today, 1.25M will be no longer be the cutoff for top 10%
I'm interested what process you used. When I open cease_letter_redacted.pdf or informational_letter_redacted.pdf in Adobe Acrobat DC, and I begin typing letters to force the content out from behind a black box, the content is simply whitespace. Copy/paste into notepad reveals no content where the black boxes were.

You're not just guessing, right?
I agree with all the benefits of mypy cited in this article. For me, most important thing for the long-term health of a codebase is its readability/maintainability, and mypy static typing makes such a huge difference for that in large Python codebases. I'm really excited to see large libraries doing this migration.

I'll add for folks thinking about this transition that we took a pretty different strategy for converting Zulip to be type-checked: https://blog.zulip.com/2016/10/13/static-types-in-python-oh-...

The post is from 2016 and thus a bit stale in terms of the names of mypy options and the like, but the incremental approach we took involved only using mypy's native exclude tooling, and might be useful for some projects thinking about doing this transition.

One particular convention that I think many other projects may find useful is how we do `type: ignore` in comments in the Zulip codebase, which is to have a second comment on the line explaining why we needed a `type: ignore`, like so:

* # type: ignore[type-var] # https://github.com/python/typeshed/issues/4234

* # type: ignore[attr-defined] # private member missing from stubs

* # type: ignore[assignment] # Apparent mypy bug with Optional[int] setter.

* # type: ignore[misc] # This is an undocumented internal API

We've find this to be a lot more readable than using the commit message to record why we needed a `type: ignore`, and in particular it makes the work of removing these with time feel a lot more manageable to have the information organized this way.

(And we can have a linter enforce that `type: ignore` always comes with such a comment).
However one feels about extra usable screen space in iDevices, doesn't seem like as big a deal on the Mac. macOS has and has always had the core menu bar taking up the entire top of the screen. And even with a significant number of user menubar add-ons, the middle is often blank space since the menus from the left and add-ons from the right don't meet. Eyeballing the resolutions (about 1.54:1) it looks like this is pure gain, they took previous dead space and turned it into screen then stuck the general fixed UI element in there, with the camera taking up what is commonly blank space. Seems pretty function-driving-form as it should be.

Also, particularly given the new improved local dimming, for any content that wants a plain rectangle (video, games) seems like just blacking the menu bar area will work well. Macs aren't rotating devices either, so the notch is always going to be in the same semi-dead-space spot and easy to work around. That's quite different than iOS devices (even the iPad). And even with Apple's regrettable increasing of barriers to modifiability, on macOS there remains plenty of freedom to do UX adjustments and for developers to do whatever they want outside of Apple's rules. IIRC for example Apple forbid just "hiding" the notch with black on iDevices at least initially, but no such issues here. So overall really doesn't seem like it's a problem in this case, even for those who are fairly bothered on phones/tablets. A Mac screen isn't bad for it.

And of course, part of the highlighted point of these new machines is being able to drive a bunch of external displays too.
I think that Apple took a subtle, not so subtle stand: power consumption has to do with environmental impact.
I thought it looked thicker too but it turns out the new models are even 0.01cm thinner (if you want to call it that).
M1 Pro Max is only $200 more. I'm tempted, but do we think it will be more power hungry under the same workload than the Pro?
Well put. Similarly, and one of many analogies that could be made, a published author's first "successful" work is unlikely to be the first thing they have ever written.

Just keep making stuff!
Just like USB-C cables can differ in capacity I’m finding a need to scrutinize my wall chargers more now. A bunch of white boxes but some can keep my MacBook Pro charged even when on all day calls and some can’t. With PD the size isn’t a great indicator anymore either.
Soon I bet. Probably only so much they can ship right now with all the supply issues.
You could have at least looked up CK Lewis' current success, which has it's own wikipedia entry featuring the subject of this thread: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_C.K.#2020%E2%80%93presen...

Either way, it's also really really dark and disturbing for you to attribute Daphne's suicide to "cancelation".
Not to mention this whole attitude from rich tourists that don’t understand how can you not be grateful for the opportunity to carry their golf bags in the sun for a pittance.
No asshole, I would prefer working in the factory that couldn’t open because it would spoil the city for you assholes.
The Apple Event showed that full-screen apps and videos have a black bar extending the whole notch height; which still leaves you with an Apple standard 16:10 screen area. Since it's mini-LED, it'll be just as black as the previous bezels, and since the non-notch area is still 16:10, you're not missing anything at all; and the menu bar in a sense "doesn't take any usable space" anymore.
sure. But with video conferencing being a new part of the job, it's likely a good tradeoff
Nice hardware. It's a pity that I don't trust them with my data any more. What will they scan and report?
Interested if the macsafe cable ends in a power adapter or ends in a usb-c plug.

E.g can I attach a usb-c to usb-c cable to the accompanying power brick when traveling?
I love my touchbar.
Not really, we're debating whether allowing users to type URLs and search terms into the same box is encouraging "bad behaviour."
> Following logic like this is why so many aspiring entrepreneurs don't have more paying customers, and it's _the_ source of ad-supported everything.

It has the merit of being true, however.
HDMI, SD Card, and MagSafe. Things people on the internet inclusive but not limited to HN said they will never come back because the future is USB-C.

Now I just want to know if the new keyboard has more key travel distance back to the like of MacBook Pro 2015.

In case anyone wants to know the thickness difference.

MacBook Pro 13" 2015 - 1.8 cm

MacBook Pro 13" 2016 - 1.49 / 1.55 cm

MacBook Pro 14" / 16" 2021 - 1.55 / 1.66cm

So basically even the new 16" is still thinner than the MacBook 2015 era. Which I think vast majority of people were happy with.

Edit: Both 14" and 16" have 254 PPI, up from ~220. Apple tends to stick with same PPI for a very long time. So this is interesting. 3456-by-2234 or 3024-by-1964 is 14:9 Ratio. So somewhere in between the old 16:10 and 3:2 which is current trend of Lenovo and Surface Laptop.
I wonder how these will fit my ears.

The current design fits my ears perfectly whereas the pros or any other soft-tip earbuds work there way out of my ears.
1440p would have the same result on a tiny screen.
Damned if they do, damned if they don't? Sounds to me like they listened and changed course.
I was surprised at the price point as well
Eye strain is much lower on 4k because fonts are smoother. It's not about screen estate (but sometimes it is, if you really need it), but mostly about clarity and smoothness in 2x retina mode
"Provably wrong"? On the contrary, if it wasn't a small minority, Apple wouldn't have continued to break sales records with each iteration they release.

I posit that "hate" is too strong a word. I would describe the changes as merely unpopular.
>But the consolidation of banking institutions in the real world is pretty clearly mirrored in the cryptoworld and that side of banking is already far less reliable than real world banking.

Crypto doesn't have "banking". Exchanges are fairly centralized, but it's a misuse of the technology to use an exchange for custody. There are some crypto lending platforms, but they are not banks.

>...most crypto currency is legitimately held by speculators which can create liquidity to drive transactions but which, on its own, does not a market make.

Liquidity is provided by market makers, who (by definition) are not holding or speculating.
Sure, but did anyone had a serious use for them? Surely there are people, but I have the _feeling_ that the Touch Bar was a failure from the beginning. Also they brought back a magnetic snap cable for charging (the same my Air mid 2012 has that I'm typing on rn) and they added a HDMI and a SD card slot. It's all coming back ^^
What a beast! I already feel sorry for my MacBook Pro 13 with M1. Left in the dust essentially.
You could get clever and have apps program around it as a dead zone (tabs jump either side of it when moving them around) but sounds like a pain.
Which are more powerful?
Dear Netflix: Please fire every single individual that walks out. There are thousands of individuals who have been rejected from roles at your company that would look at this situation in a rational light.
Can the notch be "hidden" with a black toolbar?
It’s not really clear what your point is. There is plenty of room in the menu bar for the camera to be in the middle.
This is everything I wanted. But the notch... I can't really accept that.
They already did. On the UK store:

14"

1.8-Core CPU, 14-Core GPU, 16GB Unified Memory, 512GB SSD Storage - £1,899.00

2. 10-Core CPU, 16-Core GPU, 16GB Unified Memory, 1TB SSD Storage - £2,399.00
The max memory isn't an indication of that, the M1's max of 64gb is limited by LPDDR5 module capacities.

What would block a new Mac Pro would instead be DDR4 or DDR5 support instead of LPDDR5, and also PCI-E lanes. Both of which would likely require yet another change in silicon design.
No it will, it's just a very demanding monitor so if it can run multiple of those it will have no problem with random 1080p or 4K monitors.
I want to hate it because I really wanted normal USB back, but I guess that ship has sailed.

I love it. I want one. Gonna be tough not to hit that order button!
AI Sensei: AI-Driven Online Go Game Review
Any indication on the gaming performance of these vs. a typical nvidia or AMD card? My husband is thinking of purchasing a mac but I've cautioned him that he won't be able to use his e-gpu like usual until someone hacks support to work for it again, and even then he'd be stuck with pretty old gen AMD cards at best.
I see you're really dedicated. Try this, click my link, press ctrl+f and type "small", hmm.... 0 hits. Strange if you search "increase", you get 7 hits.

Let's further break down your post.

economists think... (conjecture)
...a large increase can have a direct effect on employment... - ( 72% used to, now only 46% do. per my link)

...or otherwise economists would simply propose making a $100 minimum wage... (the most classic case of Straw Man ever. Who is proposing this huge increase?)
AirBnb should put you up in a hotel at no extra charge. It's what real hotels do if the room you reserved isn't available.
Apple had SteamVR support for a while, and even Valve Proton support for a while (meaning that Windows-only games were quite playable on Mac hardware). Unfortunately, Apple pulled 32-bit library support without offering a suitable alternative, so Valve was forced to scrap their plans for Mac gaming entirely.
How do you count 4? The 13 and 16 will be phased out as old models and the 14/16 will remain. Then there's the MBA.

So 3 models, with 2 of them being 'Pro'.
The worst part is that everybody copies them. Now, two USB-C ports, one of which is used for power, is standard.
"means of production". Machines is not to be taken literally, I believe.

Whether people get replaced by AI/ML/Algos for middle-management decision-making, or they get replaced by kiosks and hamburger assembly devices at a fast food hut, there will be the owners of the means of production, and there will be the newly unemployed workers.

The fear expressed by the OP (and me) is over the long run, how will we keep the owners of all that capital and production from wringing out the lower 90% to the point where "snow crash" reads like a documentary?
It conflicts with existing Apple design decisions, such as Safari in full-screen with the compact tabs, or Apple Calendar in full screen mode. I wonder how that will work.
I'm not going to wait for the comparisons this time. Maxing this baby out right now.
The US was founded as a rebellion against aristocracy.

However, in 1825 Jefferson noted that, much like today, the country was becoming increasingly controlled by what he termed 'monied in corporations' and therefore seemed to be eroding the achievements of the revolution:

[T]his opens with a vast accession of strength from their younger recruits, who having nothing in them of the feelings or principles of ’76 now look to a single and splendid government of an Aristocracy, founded on banking institutions and monied in corporations under the guise and cloak of their favored branches of manufactures commerce and navigation, riding and ruling over the plundered ploughman and beggared yeomanry. this will be to them a next best blessing to the Monarchy of their first aim, and perhaps the surest stepping stone to it.

So my options are either a constant network connection or always keeping an external drive plugged in assuming I want to maintain 0 loss. Great! That's totally easier than just being able to remove the SSD.
Same. I absolutely loved it for video and audio editing but I can understand why most people didn't like it. The new Intel commercials where they try to pass off a few laptops as Macbooks and then "surprise" the people when they're not Macs just reinforced for me how stupid a touchscreen on a laptop is.
With all these computational capabilities and an upgraded camera, I’m surprised that Apple put a notch into their MacBook Pro line but left out FaceID. This seems like a bizarre omission.
Why Your Customer Data Platform Should Be the Data Warehouse
Looks like they only “got rid” of the Touch Bar for the more expensive model. Really trolling their customers now
Really happy with my M1 air for home use, but would really like one of these for work!
From my understanding the screen is 16:10 plus the extra space on both sides of the notch.
