I thought about "serverless" blog.

Here's some rough scheme I came up with (I never implemented it, though):

1. Use github pages to serve content.

2. Use github login to authenticate using just JS.

3. Use JS to implement rich text editor and other edit features.

4. When you're done with editing, your browser creates a commit and pushes it using GitHub API.

5. GitHub rebuilds your website and few seconds later your website reflects the changes. JavaScript with localStorage can reflect the changes instantly to improve editor experience.

6. Comments could be implemented with fork/push request. Of course that implies that your users are registered on GitHub, so may not be appropriate for every blog. Or just use external commenting system.
> A lot of software just isn't ready for ARM yet

Compatibility issues are the most painful part of architectural shifts, although Apple's pretty good at them by now and a lot of desktop software "just works."

> Plus, knowing that Rosetta will eventually be unsupported gives me flashbacks to watching my games library disappear after updating to Catalina

RIP my 32-bit macOS Steam library. Though I think some 32-bit Windows games can run under Crossover.

I wish that Apple would commit to supporting Rosetta 2 indefinitely, but realistically they'll pull the plug on x86 emulation just as they did with their 68K and PowerPC emulators. Apple is about the Next Big Thing and not so much about long-term backward compatibility.

However Windows on ARM under Parallels may get better over time - a number of x86 Windows games already run. And who knows, maybe we'll be able to boot native ARM Windows at some point...

On the up side, M1 Macs get access to the only game library Apple cares about: iOS games (including Apple Arcade and some pretty decent iPad games.)
Plagiarized... Mmm I have copied some of the text from Wikipedia for old titles and have kept it factual as I want to list factual information. Others use web scrapers to achieve this I prefer good old copy and paste, but it takes time and I just try to take and stick to the facts. I'm not sure how else to list the 500 plus titles and also write it all myself as its taken such a long time to even be at the letter M

> Climate works on 30 year cycles.

without having any standing at all in the field, I can't imagine that such a simple, reductive statement could possibly be generally true about something as physically massive and chaotic and infinitely, fractally complex as the planet's climate.
Yep, the inertia and economy of scale come from there and when the pendulum is in full swing, servers have seemed inevitable.

But timing is hard here too, and lots of things that seem inevitable take many attempts and a long to happen. ARM server chips have near history marked by struggle, there have been several over the last decade. Remember eg AMD in 2012? https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/10/amd-a...

Interesting times ahead. Especially for Gen Z and younger, who rely heavily on dating apps instead of going out to meet new potential partners. Dating apps which are highly ineffective at actually generating relationships for most people (particularly for straight males). I predict Gen Z birth rate will be less than 1 per woman, but this might not be a problem for Western economies for now as Western countries can just increase immigration.

> Consensus is the mechanism used to translate scientific findings into actionable advice/recommendations/engineering. Without it nothing would ever happen. Science is always full of unknowns, consensus allows us to move forward in absence of complete information (because such a thing often doesn't exist)

FWIW, my experiences have been the precise opposite. My colleagues never seem to have consensus about anything. But companies move forward with our recommendations, both because we're more likely to be right, and if our recommendations happen to serve the company's goals.

I'm sure a bunch of people will read into this comment, but I am speaking purely about my experiences as an ML scientist. It would be valid to say that ML represents a very small fraction of the global scientific apparatus, and I certainly don't claim to know what it's like to work at CERN.

It surprised me, though, how often you were right -- there often is consensus, in the sense that everyone reads about a certain technique in papers and automatically assumes it's applicable to their own situation. For example, everyone in language modeling almost universally agrees that "lower loss is better," ("loss" is a specific ML term,"). But that's only true for general language models trained on large quantities of data. If you're fine-tuning a language model, you almost never want the steepest loss slope, because it means your learning rate is too high and you'll destroy the existing knowledge.

I would say that experience matters, and each situation is different. It's super tricky to make an argument that consensus is both universally common and universally good.
First, let me say that I do believe that the current weight of evidence is on the side of the anthropogenic theory. I also think it is correct that the fossil fuels lobby would probably fund any research that could definitely shift the blame from them.

However, we should not ignore the fact that there are also major political and economic incentives for climate alarmism.

This USA Today cartoon is a good illustration of what I mean by political incentives: https://www.gocomics.com/joelpett/2009/12/13. Climate action tends to support a particular vision for what the future should look like.

As for the economic incentives, I think one of the most important ones is that green economy creates jobs and new markets. That might be quite tempting if you are a Keynesian economist (or a CEO [1]).

[1]: "There’s an enormous opportunity…whether you believe in global warming or not…If you’re in a company, you’d better be pushing those (green) products because the world wants these products." - Jack Welch, former CEO of GE (https://www.freshdialogues.com/2009/05/12/jack-welch-why-com...)
Consensus is basically what Peer Review is. Having a bunch of other scientists look at your methodology and data to see if they come to the same conclusion you did, or if there was a mistake you overlooked.

This 99% is basically like a meta-peer-review of all peer reviewed papers.

> Consensus is the currency of politics, not science.

What is that based on? Scientists use the concept, including in this scientific paper and many others.

> Before Einstein there was > 99% consensus that Newtonian gravity was ultimate description of gravitational force.

Certainly not: They knew there was a lot unknown about gravity; they just didn't have the answers. And after Einstein, there was plenty scientists were aware was unknown, such as the mechanism for mass - the Higgs Boson wasn't discovered until 2012. There's a lot unknown now; no scientist will tell you that we have the ultimate description; for example, we can't reconcile gravity yet with other fundamental forces.

Newton's predictions are accurate to this day, except in the narrow circumstances described by Einstein.

And what does it have to do with climate change? If the predictions are as accurate as Newton, we aren't going to get much more certain information. What alternative theory is a better bet?
Nice read. I've been doing web dev for 15 years. What has got me burnt out now:

-Spend most of my time dealing with tooling issues.

-Increasingly complex demands. Even the simplest problems now seems to be multi layered with dozens of edge cases to be accounted for. It's seemingly impossible to get anything right. You can spend hours testing a responsive design on every browser, every viewport - send it to the client and you'll get after 5 minutes a list of 50 issues, half of them totally asinine.

-Lack of respect/authority/autonomy. After 15 years I'm considered a subordinate to a PM with 6 months experience and zero technical knowledge. This one can be improved a little by working remotely I think. But it just comes down to how management view or value different roles. We are a liability to them, something to be managed, coerced and controlled.

-Oversaturated market, learntocode, let's be honest and say for 95% of companies, web devs are a commodity. I don't have an issue with people who are excited and want to learn coding, but the reality is the job market is over stuffed.

-Leetcode interviews. I just don't have the energy, desire and sometimes specific knowledge to deal with these interviews. Its a straight no from me now, if i get contacted by a recruiter requesting I do one of these.

I can see clearly that other people in non technical fields are getting paid better or the same as me and dealing with far far less work and far less stress.

It's like there are two type of work category: "reviewers" and "implementers". Reviewers are the stakeholders, they make all the demands and do none (or very little/superficial) of the actual work. Implementers, well we are the ones who do the heavy lifting and deal with all the real problems.

Asymtotic complexity can't change based on the character set, since you can just reuse the same algorithm with larger opaque datums. (Exception being algorithms with O(n^8) or O(n^256) complexity, but noone uses those anyway.)

A variable width encoding can cause issues in principle, but useful algorithms already have to deal with strings that have variable-length physical represention anyway (eg "yes" vs "no"), so it tends not to be a problem in practice.

Why do people talk about only Ford and GM, as if they’re even relevant in the car world anymore?

The danger to Tesla is not these companies, aside from some
competition in the electric F-150. The real challengers are those like Kia, Hyundai, and the Japanese and European brands. Kia is already making all electric cars, so it’s proof that ICE manufacturers can switch over. Brands like Kia have decades of experience making dozens of different models every year, iterating on them, and creating new ones. Tesla barely manages with three or four models. My Kia Optima SXL has better fit and finish than any Tesla I’ve been in. I also find the Teslas I see on the road very bland. They look like old cars, because they are (in terms of their overall design).

I’ve also been in several Chinese brands, including Nio. Nio blows Tesla out of the water in terms of interior design, and I like the external look better. It’s much more luxurious feeling. We’ve yet to see if Chinese brands can compete in the west, but Nio and WM Motor are very nice cars. There are also several, and I mean several, all electric car makers in China that make quite nice cars. I’ve ridden in several where I was like, whoa, what is this car?

I personally will be quite surprised if Tesla can outlive the hype it’s gotten from first adopters and its poor practices alongside increasing competition.

No, your 5 year old laptop is not faster than the modern i7 counterparts. and it can be slower than modern ones. Except it's not, because they have larger cache sizes.

what your metrics tell me is there's something bogus going on with your comparisons. the xeon dell smokes the m1 air, your test numbers says it's half the speed. that's a level of difference where it's not even worth looking at what the testers did.

yes, 9h of battery life during normal use. just like the 11h normal use time I compared it to on the mac.

now as far as amd, thats bs too, again for work, not your game station. xeons are a year+ behind AMD on tech, because they are for professional use. AMD has you beta testing the latest and greatest, while Intel does that on consumer CPUs, and only then moves the now tried and true tech to Xeon - they learned their lesson w/ the original pentium and don't care to repeat it, while amd keeps getting weird calculation bugs that either crash your system or worse - corrupt data.

> Galileo was sentenced to prison because the consensus about the solar system in the 1600's was geocentric

Except that he wasn't sentenced to prison, and what he was sentenced to was not for that reason, either in the superficial sense (that wasn't the nominal offense) or the substantive one (that wasn't the thing that changed between the time when the same people wanted him punished where he wasn't and when he was.)
Most interesting thing about this is the use of Amazon Appstore. It's like Microsoft is acquiescing by not trying to build yet another app store (even an Android store) and lure developers and support costs along the way.

> hydrogen being much more efficient than believed

God/Allah/Nature obviously don't understand disruption, growth mindset and can-do-spirit. facepalm

There are hard physical limitations that no amount of human ingenuity can do anything about. 237kJ/mole is the theoretical minimum of energy required for water electrolysis. energy->electrolysis->energy round-trip efficiency won't exceed 45%, even if everything, from the energy source to the car wheel spinning, is perfectly frictionless and operating at peak theoretical efficiency. No, you cannot use existing gas pipelines for transporting hydrogen.

For passenger cars, EVs today are already better than what physics allow hydrogen cars to ever be.
Alright, make it simpler then. There was once broad consensus the earth was flat.

Only if you go back far enough to predate the notion of the scientific method. Plato wrote "My conviction is that the Earth is a round body in the centre of the heavens" in about 400BC, nearly 2500 years ago.

Not in science. The difference is everything: Scientific knowledge has proven to be accurate. Other methods have been much less successful.

Yeah, the author of that opinion piece is a fossil fuel shill.

He even openly admits in the article:

"Even if 97% of climate scientists agreed with this, and even if they were right, it in no way, shape, or form would imply that we should restrict fossil fuels--which are crucial to the livelihood of billions."
> It is the closest to truth we can be.

Not at all. We currently only fund the study of "human effects on climate". If you want to do studies on climate that consider factors other than humans there is no funding available for that - and that is not being hyperbolic that is literally how it is. The conclusions of studies are a direct result of the funding apparatus.

If we want to get to the truth we have to fund anything that helps us understand the climate better, especially all the things that don't involve humans such as planetary and solar system cycles, cataclysms, geothermal cycles and planetary flex.

But here I am, with a pretty thin and very durable laptop that has a 6 core Xeon in it. It gets hot, it has huge fans, and it completely obliterates any M1 laptop. I don't mean it's twice as fast. I mean things run at 5x or faster vs an M1.

Probably not faster than an M1 Pro and definitely not faster than the M1 Max.

Your machine doesn't have a 512-bit wide memory interface running at over 400GB/s.

Does the Xeon processor in your laptop have 192KB of instruction cache and 24MB of L2 cache?

Every ARM instruction is the same size, enabling many instructions to be in flight all at once, unlike the x86-64 architecture where instructions vary in size and you can't have nearly as many instructions in flight at once.

Apples-to-apple: at the same chip frequency, an M1 has higher throughput than a Xeon and most any other x86 chip. This is basic RISC vs. CISC stuff that's been true forever. It's especially true now as increases in clock speeds has dramatically slowed and the only way to get significantly more performance is by adding more cores.

On just raw performance, I'd take the 8 high-performance cores in an M1 Pro vs. the 6 cores in your Xeon any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

And of course, when it comes to performance per watt, there's no comparison and that's really the story here.

Now, this is a new version of the M1, but it's an incremental 1-year improvement.

If you read AnandTech [1] on this, you'll see this is not the case—there have been huge jumps in several areas.

Incremental would have resulted in the same memory bandwidth with faster cores. And 6 high-performance cores vs. the 4 in the original M1.

Except Apple didn't do that—they doubled the number to 8 high-performance cores and doubled the memory width, etc. There were 8 GPU cores on the original M1 and how you can get up to 32!

Apple stated the Pro and the Max have 1.7x of the CPU performance of Intel's 8-core Core i7-11800H with 70% lower power consumption. There's nothing incremental about that.

By ditching Intel, what apple did is making sure their pro line - which is about power, not mobility, is no longer a competitor, and never will be.

Pro can mean different things to different people. For professional content creators, these new laptops are super professional. Someone could take off from NYC and fly all the way to LA while working on 16-inch MacBook Pro with a 120 MHz mini LED 7.7 million pixel screen that can display a billion colors in 4k or 8k video—battery only.

If you were on the same flight working on the same content, you'd be out of power long before you crossed the Mississippi while the Mac guy is still working. At half the weight of your laptop but a dramatically better display and performance when it comes to video editing and rendering multiple streams of HDR video.

The 16-inch model has 21 hours of video playback which probably comes in handy in many use cases.

Here's a video of a person using the first generation, 8 GB RAM M1 Mac to edit 8K video; the new machines are much more capable: https://youtu.be/HxH3RabNWfE.

I do get it - you define pro as a guy at work running his backup application in a web browser, and the hipster at starbucks doing "graphic design." I define pro as "a workstation."

The m1 does not emulate x86. You literally don't know what you're talking about. Which explains why you define a kid's toy as "pro." I get it - you're getting paid. So is the barista at the starbucks you work from.

Kia might define their kia optima as a racing car too, because it's got some horsepower. Except we're at an indy500.
Keep in mind that people routinely overestimate change in the short run but underestimate it in the long run.

Changing those traditional carmakers is difficult, which makes them appear fall short of your expectations of the short run. And I do expect many won't make it. But those that can change will be a force to be reckoned with in the long run.
