Yes. If I bought one of these it would never actually move so I don't actually mind the comparison all that much for my personal use case, obviously it isn't apples to oranges but my point is that this performance is not free.
I thought they were trying to kill people by discouraging vaccine research so the next big pandemic doesn't have vaccines for years?
The single core performance is still the same as the M1, so frankly, for a laptop that's awesome, but I wish single core performance could hit the AMD Ryzen scores.

Initially, one could churn out a lots of features quickly accumulating the technical debt. The increasing time can be rather more about the past, then new people you hired.
I wonder if there will be better remote development support on vscode.dev? It used to work well for me, but in recent releases the remote functionality has gotten so flaky...
This is a classic example of a product that's not been thought through. half-hour and 45min timezones are ignored (and plain wrong when selected on the website). Not to mention it's not very practical as the clock is hard to read.
I'm pretty sure this is legitimately a "the market will fix it" problem. If a manufacturer isn't able to efficiently use supply this will likely result in some spoilage and backlogging - that will lower the effective price that manufacturer will be willing to pay (since buying extra stock just to have it expire is a waste) and allow the more efficient manufacturers to continue to consume necessary supplies at an efficient rate. Additionally, any added sustainable demand will result in an increase in profitability in the supply chain before that point - so existing manufacturers will be encouraged to expand and some new manufacturers may enter the field.

We might see a short term dip but I don't think that additional inefficient factories would lead to less overall production unless there was something weird going on like government mandates to supply inefficient manufacturers.
Well, that depends on the human reaction. Think of screaming "fire" in a movie theatre. Panicked rush out, egregious disregard for human life and safety for the sake of self-preservation. Consider our theatre patrons are armed, guns, knives, nuclear weapons, economic warfare. I'm not saying there is necessarily going to be world destruction, but it isn't-not on the menu.
I have to disagree with you too.

Government is more weak now because people have become very distrustful of it (reasonable given Vietnam and the events since). Because of that, the government has a lot less teeth nowadays to implement policies.

I know people talk about things like abortion and vaccine mandates and these issues are extremely important, but IMO they are extremely small scale topics that are more related to current cultural norms than long term policies.

We’re not dealing with the cultural issues of the 1960s these days. What we deal with are the 100 year old bridges, infrastructure projects, processes and programs that previous generations built. To me, these issues are much more important than anything else because they require investment now and yet their returns don’t realize until much later.

Yet our corporate tax rate is the lowest in a very long time and corporate tax evasion is huge, yet the government hasn’t had the support they need to do much about it. At the same time, people are (understandably) hugely distrustful of politicians, but all that does long term is hamper the policy making that we need now to set the stage for our grandchildren.

I think people vehemently taking pride and fighting over a lot of the current issues now is so short sighted.
Part of the benefit of making a moral argument (rather than a legal one), is I can avoid giving an exact test for what should and shouldn't be patentable.

Yes, I think there should be some minimal "unit of invention", and that in this case it's pretty clearly the vaccine as a whole. "Part of the vaccine" isn't of benefit to society, so disclosing how to make that isn't meeting your end of the bargain.

Yes, I also think that there are probably other cases where a single product has two unrelated subsystems, and it makes sense you could have patents on both of them. For example in a cell phone, a different patent on the antenna and the barometer would make sense, since they really haven nothing to do with eachother and disclosure of each individually benefits society.

> No cogent argument can be made in favor of banning only female chests.

I'm unsure if that's really true.

As I've already mentioned elsewhere here, these arguments are all based on assumptions that are being made as a matter of fact. For instance:

> Genitalia are different because they can be sexualized.

Is that necessarily true? Breasts are frequently sexualized, which makes me question whether that sexualization is entirely cultural or not. On the other hand, male chests are rarely sexualized in nearly the same way outside of relatively minority communities. Yet they can be as well.

I wonder these things because the further down the chain of logic, the more it just seems arbitrary, in which case why are we rationalizing and intellectualizing this issue in order to explain it away? In such a case, it really isn't possible to make a cogent argument in favor of allowing exposed female breasts, because it would come down to what society is irrationally comfortable or uncomfortable with.
You've never wanted to edit text/code on a computer that isn't yours before? There are a lot of cases where I can see this coming in handy for making quick edits as an IT professional, especially in cases where I need to mess with a slightly complex file on an end user's machine but don't have the time or desire to copy it back to my own.

It's a tool, you don't have to use it.
Yeah; there are three vaccines developed in Cuba and two from China that meet that ease of distribution requirement, and Cuba, at least, has agreed to do technology transfer to countries that want to produce it. It's hard to find a good motivation for WHO here.
Oh. I think I didn't realize both existed; I'd only used statics before (and knew about const functions), but didn't know about const expressions.
It's probably bad, the M1 could not get 60fps on WoW so ... When I see Apple comparison I would take that with a grain of salts because the M1 is not able to run any modern game at decent fps.

To be clear, I never said there was anything terrible about it.

[edited to be less standoffish]
> I don't quite connect this to your affirmation that "its not normal work."

Really? You cannot get there?

Ok: If its normal work, then you - like what happened twice in Germany in my OP - are going to have to deal at some point with the case of a broken, depressed, uneducated, abused woman with dependency issues, likely ostracised from her family, etc, etc. who is desperate to never go back to her prostitution job.

Since - according to you - is no different to other normal work, you will have no reason to not insist that she takes up the opening at the local brothel in the not unlikely scenario that there are not actually any other positions available as a nannie/teacher/astronaut for such a candidate.

Just this one job. At the brothel. Who wants a prostitute.

You have a prostitute. One the dole. Your job is to get people back to work.

Now - if like any sane, compassionate human - you find yourself reluctant to insist on this - all the while whilst forcing every other unemployed bus driver, plumber, surgeon, pilot off the dole and back to work, then you too will have concluded that this one occupation is not normal.

Corner cases are brutal.
If true I’d be interested to see what that is in points per watt.
> The fact that it's not an opinion, doesn't mean it's not an option.

Yes, and making me dictator for life is an option, but it isn't going to happen now is it? Lots of things are an option, but we must grapple with both the probability of them happening, and the historical incidence at which similar events occurred.

In general if you're making the argument that A is easier than B, and B keeps happening at a much higher rate than A, then you're probably missing some very important detail to explain that difference. America, and the world really, has a long history of suppressing and extracting the wealth of large groups. Peasants, slaves, tenant farmers, sharecroppers, lower level laborers, and demographic minorities today have all had their wealth suppressed and extracted for the sake of someone else. Meanwhile the wealth of those elites being expropriated and given to the masses are extremely rare events[0]; much more common is elites overthrowing other elites to expropriate their wealth personally.

For my part, I think you're overly focused on the mechanical aspects of confiscation rather than the political ones. Yes, if you get the political systems in alignment it is mechanically very easy to take Bezo's wealth; just take his bank accounts or hit him with a wrench until he authorizes a foreign transfer. But actually getting that political system in alignment to do that is extremely difficult; often even getting people like Bezos to pay the same tax rate as the rest of us is too big a political lift.

As an analogy, it was pretty easy mechanically for the French to get rid of their kings. Paris was a city 650,000 strong, overwhelming the ~1,000 Swiss Guard protecting the king at the Tuileries palace and (eventually) executing the king was mechanically simple. After all, how hard can a battle be if you can muster a 16:1 advantage[1]? But while winning that battle was easy, getting to the point where the King was forced back into Paris and the mob was ready to literally kill him took a long long time to happen. The will to do things matters more than anything else.

0 - Not that you'd know that based on the amount of material produced on such events. I would argue that we're still living through the elite panic in reaction to the October Revolution, even the USSR was hardly an "expropriate the wealth of the rich in order to feed the masses" kinda place after Stalin took over.

1 - Actual order of battle for the storming of the Tuileries in 1792 was 20,000 republicans vs. 1,200 royalist guards. Generally military theorists hold up 4:1 as the tipping point where numbers overwhelm no matter the quality of leadership. At 16:1, the Swiss Guard stood no chance even though they were trained soldiers fighting a literal mob.

The example assertions he was making were non falsifiable. However, if the claims were slightly tweaked to say something along the lines of:

"historically, a code modification like the one you've requested has taken 5n units of time. After refactoring, such a change will take n units of time."

You wouldn't perform an A/B test to prove your claim. The managers would simply have to trust you for the reputable engineer that you are, and hopefully observe substantially increased velocity after the refactoring.

I actually expect that the opposite might happen and that men going topless in public will be as women are now. Maybe not illegal, but less socially acceptable.

The reason I say that is I've noticed a lot of men (not boys) swimming in shirts, and I've also witnessed people telling men to put on a shirt (or otherwise complaining about how gross it is) at outdoor gatherings, whereas, this used to be extremely common. Maybe it is different in California or Florida.
It's not absolutely a sure thing that there's any significant burden from aviation. Blood tests come up with a tiny, barely detectable difference near airports (well under 5% for those nearest the airport, and confounded: airports are correlated with low SES and therefore lead paint, etc, is also more prevalent). The most pessimistic estimates from first principles come up with 2-3% of the total population lead burden (more than an order of magnitude above what the blood tests imply, and the blood tests likely overstate the problem).

If you threw a few billion more at leaded paint remediation, I think you'd make much more of a difference. I think the aviation lead problem should get fixed, but because it's such a small part of the overall problem it makes sense to take a graduated approach instead of giving GA businesses the death penalty. Tax leaded aviation fuels, and use the proceeds to pay for leaded paint remediation.
All evidence points to exactly the opposite of what you're stating.

Ignore the title, unpack the data.

https://mises.org/wire/guns-how-ny-times-manipulates-data

Framed a different way, there are over 400 million guns in circulation in the US. At the moment, more than the total population of the US.

Citation: https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2020/07/13/three-mil...

If we look at 2020, the worst year for gun violence in decades in the US there were 20,000 gun homicides and 24,000 gun suicides.

Citation: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/03/23/2020-shooti...

Taken together, that means that there were 44,000 gun abuses out of 400,000,000 in circulation which is annual abuse rate of 0.011%.

Inversely, that means that the annual non-abuse rate, or the safe responsible use rate is 99.989%. If I remember correctly from my statistics 101 class, 99.99% is considered "statistically perfect".
Yup. Ironically they're bringing back mag safe at the same time as moving to processors that might make the battery life dream real.
I've seen something similar where I live. Most towns have sign ordinances only allowing up to 4'x8' signs. The hack is to buy a broken down panel truck and wrap the cargo box with your sign and then park it in front of your business.
People are probably going to be reading your comparison as an objective comparison rather than an opportunistic one. For example, if you are choosing between upgrading AM4 processors on your desktop versus buying a new Macbook Pro, then of course it makes sense to compare the cost in those terms. However, the price of the M1 chip is obviously probably not that bad. Since you can’t meaningfully buy it on its own, I guess there is no fair comparison to make here anyways.
What do you think will happen during the next pandemic if the companies who managed to come up with a vaccine go bankrupt from this one?
> “Keep in mind, when you destroy the profit motive, you destroy much (Not all!) of the motivation people have to build better things”

that’s a fairytale we’re told to keep things the way they are. every single person on earth has passions to do and create every day. that’s literally built into the biophysics of the universe. the profit motive shapes where we collectively apply our natural motivations, it doesn’t create the motivations themselves. we will always be building better things, it’s just a question of which better things. none of your list strictly requires a profit motive to have curious minds explore them.
Oh - that's a new one. It's essentially the "there's never been a true communist government" argument but the other way around. Canada has more regulations than the US and my stepson has extremely special health needs - there have been times we've been nervous that no health agency will cover them but thankfully, so far, that's never happened. The instance where he was truly up a creek the hospital holding him simply refused to release him due to the lack of available care.
No it should not. The only reason it exists is because of the free market and private sector. Government produces nothing. Forced technology transfer to a criminal gang (government), will reduce future tech availability and reduce innovation. We will literally have fewer vaccines. The reward for producing the vaccine, will provide more vaccines in the future. Moderna is a better capital allocator than the criminals in government.
Single core is similar to the 5900x but multicore is more in line with 3900x.

Quite impressive for a laptop, I'm sure the power consumption will be much higher compared to the M1 but likely no where near desktop parts.

Ha, you beat me to it.

It would be really nice if there was a chart that indicated who was in what category - Household wealth of $X or greater puts you in the top 10%. But even that needs some more information. How are houses counted? I've seen some that say that the primary home is excluded and I've seen some that say that the equity in the primary home is included.
I believe they compared it to a ~100W mobile RTX 3080, not a desktop one. And the mobile part can go up to ~160W on gaming laptops like Legion 7 that have better cooling than the MSI one they compared to.

They have a huge advantage in performance/watt but not in raw performance. And I wonder how much of that advantage is architecture vs. manufacturing process node.
The gaming performance will be CPU-bottlenecked. Without proper Wine/DXVK support, they have to settle for interpreted HLE or dynamic recompilation, neither of which are very feasible on modern CPUs, much less ARM chips.
My understanding from reading it (perhaps incorrect) was that they arranged to use a third-party reseller that was actually owned by him; the startups may not have known that fact. Basically, that the percentage of revenue was going directly to Kail may have been known only to Kail; that's how I read it.
Depends what benchmark you ask. According to Passmark, the M1 is the best single core CPU no question.
I come from a VHDL background (the industry I work in is purely VHDL), but recently I've been enjoying Systemverilog
in my personal projects and it fixes a lot of these issues!

You can even do:

typedef enum bit[1:0] {

my_one, my_two, my_three, my_four

} my_enum;

typedef struct packed {

my_enum b,

bit [3:0] x

} my_struct

my_struct.b <= my_three;

etc...

It's been a nice path since I last dealt with Verilog.
The concept of interfaces makes struct/vector input/output even nicer.
It's not that I don't like it, I just don't see the purpose of remaining there once I'm done writing a script or whatever. Your use-case is one of those where it does makes sense to do that.
Sorry, but why can’t a complex invention be covered in part by patents and in part by trade secret and maybe some other parts of it is just public domain knowledge? I understand you are attempting to make a moral argument and not a legal one, but I’m not seeing your position because I don’t understand from what you have commentated so far why this is immoral.

Writing games are a really fun way to learn to program. The best way to learn how is to find an open source game that you like, figure out how to build it, then start modifying the game to your personal taste.

Learning the basics of writing compilers will be surprisingly helpful for all kinds of programming tasks. The Dragon Book is the best:

Honestly being in the room I didn't feel screamed at. I felt like we finally got to the real reason why he was passionate about this problem/company. We just had a wade through all the "pitch stuff". I still think he ID'd a huge widespread problem that we still need a solution for.
Interestingly, the M1 Max is only a 10 core (of which only 8 are high performance). I wonder what it will look like when it’s a 20-core, or even a 64-core like the Threadripper. Imagine a 64-core M1 on an iMac or Mac Pro.

We’re in for some fun times.
I think you're mostly wrong.

AR is an obvious candidate for the next platform and superior UX (if the hardware is possible) when it's ready.

"Metaverse" branding doesn't matter, UI in line of site and ability to manipulate things in the real world just by looking at them and gesturing has obvious massive potential and appeal.

I don't care about Ready Player One and the fiction stuff is irrelevant.

The ability to have interactive virtual overlays in the real world is big, the potential for new things given that platform is enormous. If you think that hardware is impossible that's one thing, but to not even see it is just short sighted and a classic knee-jerk HN dismissal that can end up a joke ten years later.
