I get irritated when this little quirk of measurement is trotted out. Someone making 400k / yr as an investment banker is in a very different position than someone who 'makes' 400k selling grandpa's dairy farm and pays off creditors. It's very disingenuous to say that a large number of people will be in the top 10% at some point. Technically true, but meaningless.

No, you've lost a PoS responsible for killing million random civilians.
The higher up you are the more people down below that want your water. Pretty sure that there are demands on Lake Tahoe as part of the Truckee River and downstream interests.
These are not applications, they are services.

Which means that the REAL question isn't whether they open-source the code (not saying it wouldn't be nice... but it may come with lots of dependencies about their environment that wouldn't be easily replicable elsewhere) but whether their API is open.

And in the case of R2, they mimicked the API for S3. Which is as close to "following a standard" as I think it's possible to get.
I'm aware of that, but it's bad UX with my 5 week example because I'd have to deliberately page back 5 weeks.
Not to mention that I, for example, have the top bar automatically hidden on my mac. Meaning, if I ever decided to buy one of these, I'd have to have it always shown, or I won't be able to click on some of my browser tabs?

How does full screen mode work with this, I wonder?
Lack of type checking was a hot thing for a while. It made you "move faster". It was actually sold as an advantage. Until we realized that after moving faster you grind to a halt because now you have a massive codebase, with hundreds or thousands of files, and everything takes forever, and every change requires multiple rounds of testing.

I believe it really has to do with the size and complexity of modern projects. With a half-decent IDE you could sort of used non-type-checked Python in 2012, but times have changed, and now we are talking about statically checking Python and Ruby. And Javascript, of course, now has it in form of TypeScript.
I agree with your point on prototyping. I've never been more productive than when I have the (Scala) compiler acting as a second set of eyes, essentially looking over my shoulder, checking my business logic.
I was laughing when every single one of these changes was presented as "revolutionary" in the keynote. No, you just had to revert everything because your previous revolution was universally hated by users.

My 2C is Xi's diagnosis is basically correct. This paragraph in particular:

>We must plan, and navigate between needs and possibilities. We must base the protection and improvement of the livelihood of the people on economic development and financial sustainability rather than unrealistic pursuits and expectations, and promises that cannot be fulfilled. The government cannot take care of everything. Its focus should be on strengthening the construction of people’s livelihood guarantees that are fundamental and universal. Even if we reach a higher level of development and acquire stronger financial resources in the future, we should not set aims that are excessively high, and/or provide excessive guarantees. We must resolutely prevent [ourselves] from falling into the trap of nurturing lazy people through “welfarism.”

PRC won't reach west's living standards any time soon. Trying to build culture for generating "strong men" in anticipation for increasingly "hard times" because "good times" will never be that good for majority of people. This was always reality, PRC has too many people to uplift, and difficult external conditions. Simply not enough resources in world to propel 1.4B to western living standards, not even considering geopolitics of securing that much resources. This is PRC planning to crush gilded age, proposing a New Deal and attempting to nurthure greatest generation.
It'll be curious to see how these decentralized lending platforms respond. They can put up disclaimers/walls on their websites, but the platforms are on the blockchain and can't be censored.

It would still be a while that we achieve emergence (if that's even possible) anyway, so time is kind of on our side.
This is already done for industrial consumers that have necessary infrastructure installed - there are also some projects to enable demand response for individual consumers.

The problem is you can't just expose the prices without appropriate infrastructure support on the consumer side.

>Apple and the Environment

Hilarious section for an expensive product that has a non removable battery and is going to end up in a landfill after a year or two of use.
I think you’re confusing the word “merit” with the word “ownership”. Merit cannot be measured objectively, so you are using ownership stakes in large corporations as a proxy for merit. But you haven’t shown that ownership in a corporation is correlated with merit. You’ve just automatically assumed they have merit because the corporations they own are large and successful, and it seems you’ve defined merit by owning a large and successful corporation. This is circular reasoning, unless you want to try for a better definition of merit.

But large and successful corporations are large and successful precisely because of the work of tens of thousands to millions of people. You are trying to say they shouldn’t have a say in our economy? In the work they do? Even though they are the ones on the ground doing actual work, building actual products and technologies with their hands?

Amazon and Walmart do not exist without this army of workers to make them operate every day. Jeff Bezos could die tomorrow and Amazon would continue unabated, just as Apple did the day after Steve Jobs died. Why? Because Amazon and Apple and Walmart are not one person or even one family. Why then, should we give such an outsized role over our lives to single individuals at these companies, when we can’t even prove the success of these companies is due to their individual “merit”?
There are under-display cameras these days.

How is that a compromise? You either have a massive black bar at the top of the laptop, or a small notch that allows for more screen real estate.
Can't believe they did so many positive changes with the MBP only to add the notch from the phone in too. Almost the perfect update. Does this mean every app in full screen has to be updated to account for it?

> posted in wrong thread so copying here
Thank you for providing numbers.

But it takes a bit more effort to combine this number with what the article offers into a coherent point.

If the top 10% has a lot of older workers-and-savers in it, then it's not very outragous.

Your numbers don't answer that very clearly. Are those people who have worked for 40 years? Does it include spouses who may have worked for less time? And how does the median (50th percentile) translate into the 10th percentile, and what's the wealth cutoff for the 10th percentile?
It seems the era of few ports, gimmicky keyboards, and thinness over function in MacBooks is over.
So, they were wrong when they removed those things, and they were wrong again when they put them back?
Isn't almost every new Apple chip the most powerful chip Apple has ever built?
I wonder if the OS just presents a virtual lower screen resolution in full screen mode?
I switched to Pop OS from Ubuntu about a year ago, and I love it. Stable, good battery life, everything just works. The auto-tiling works well, but what really made me faster was having dedicated keyboard shortcuts for specific apps.

For instance, Win+1 switches immediately to the open terminal window, and if it’s not already open, it opens it. Win+2 is the same for VS Code opened to the repo I work in most frequently. Win+3 for chrome, +4 for a text editor, etc. For comfort, on keyboards that don’t have a Win key on the right side, right ctrl gets rebound to that.

I don’t even need the dock anymore, because 95% of the time I’m switching between just a few apps. Alt+tab works for the remaining 5%.
The specs on the new MacBook Pro are incredible, especially considering people were already blown away by the performance of the first M1 MacBook. It’s a seriously powerful machine. And the additional ports are a very welcome change.
I think all the short stories in Ray Bradbury's collection "The Illustrated Man" have twists. Strong recommend, if you've never read it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Illustrated_Man

The Sentinel, by Arthur C. Clarke, certainly has a twist. But it doesn't come as a surprise nowadays, because everyone's seen 2001.

Hmmm. Many of Kurt Vonnegut's stories have astonishing twists, but I can't think of any that are short (although I guess most of the early ones were initially magazine serials).
14-Inch MacBook Pro (UK) Prices
Can these drive more than one external monitor?
Since these won't ship in non-Apple products, I don't see really the point. They're only slightly ahead of AMD products when it comes to performance/watt, slightly behind performance/dollar (in an Apples to apples comparison on similarly configured laptops), and that's only because Apple is head of AMD at TSMC for new nodes, not because Apple has any inherent advantage.

I have huge respect for the PA Semi team, but they're basically wasting that talent if Apple only intends to silo their products into an increasingly smaller market. The government really needs to look into splitting Apple up to benefit shareholders and the general public.
I'd hope MacOS can account for it
I've been a types advocate for years, but it wasn't until working with Typescript that I started experiencing some of the downsides...

To me, ideally, types are supposed to be a benefit not only in safety, but in understanding the intent of a piece of code more quickly. For an api or library interface, review the types to see what its intentions are.

But there's something about the typescript type system, with all the picks and keyof and typeof... sometimes it just feels like it's way too easy to go overboard, to the point that it occludes meaning. I understanding struggling with types if you're struggling with figuring out exactly what your boundary does and does not allow, but when you're struggling with types just because you're struggling with the kabillion different ways that some other typescript programmer chose to use the utility types... there are times when I feel like even Scala is easier.
Particularly if you disable subpixel anti-aliasing because the color fringing is distracting.

I'm not so sure about 2k/3k screens @ 14" though. 1080p is about right for 1:1 scaling, but isn't sharp with smaller fonts. If one is going to scale the screen 2k definitely isn't enough to get that "smooth" look.

I tend to run fedora/kde these days though, and the scaling there is pretty bulletproof @ 4k/14". Once in a while something will fail to scale properly, but its rare.
So seeing as the graphics performance on the previous M1 was roughly equal to an Nvidia 1050, I'm curious what these new chips equivalents are. 2000 or 3000 series Nvidia cards?
Text looks sooo much better in 4K. Antialiasing especially around curves kills text for me in 1080p. Plus if you have good eyesight you can fit more text on your screen.
I suspect there'll be a setting to have the notch area ignored for full screen apps by default, or something like that.
No. It looks like the notch only cuts into the menu bar area and letterboxes fullscreen apps.
These look positively insane. 120Hz HDR displays. Can be specced with up to 64 GB of RAM and a GPU that (apparently) matches a 3070. All the ports you could ever want and magsafe. I can't wait to get my hands on one.

The notch doesn't bother me because it's literally more room on the screen. Laptops with the camera below the screen tend to have an uncomfortable angle that look sup your nose, and the design suggests that they may be adding Face ID in a future iteration.
Sigh… back to eating ramen (joking… I’m Italian, I’d never cut on my food)
If the M1 Max maxes out at 64GB does that pretty much imply no new Mac Pro until M2?
When I saw the notch I immediately thought of Face ID. But comparing how frequent we unlock our Macs vs phones, it makes sense not to put it.
I don't think it will be that bad on Macbooks, because the notch will be embedded in the top menu bar.
The greatest improvement: no Touch Bar.
In fact, it's the citizens responsibility to return the dollars via taxation... One way to interpret government debt is that money is a claim to the entire economy of the country and thus money does not create real wealth, it just makes real wealth liquid.
yah, with you on that. i hope the notch overlays the top menu bar, rather than sitting atop it, so at least it won't be so much dead screen real estate. i have mine (and the dock) auto-hide, because i want the full screen devoted to my workspace, not menus.
FWIW, 4k is X x 2160 (where X is usually somewhere between 4096 (4k) and 3840), so 1080p which is usually 1920 x 1080 is effectively 2k.

It looks like there are some 1440p and 1800p standardish resolutions that probably make sense as a middle ground.
Was so hoping for a Mini. Sigh.
> 140W USB-C Power Adapter

Wait huh? My current 16" Intel Core i9 is only 95watts. Does this mean all my existing USB-C power infrastructure won't work?
> Does this mean every app in full screen has to be updated to account for it?

A simple black bar in full screen apps would be sufficient I guess.
Interesting speculation, is it based on anything at all?

Louis CK was highly criticized for going back on tour by the same people that criticized him for the sexual misconduct he admitted to in 2017.
I use DDG as my default search engine and it works fine if what you're searching is in English and is easy to find. When I'm looking for an exact page and type stuff that I remember is there Google always seems to find it, while DDG sometimes misses what I want. Also, for programming terms that also may have other meaning (e.g., python referring to snakes or programming), Google seems to always get me what I want, while DDG may get royally confused.

Now, when it comes to non-English, the fact that Google knows what is my native language makes it 10000% better. I often type stuff in my native language and those words are the same in Spanish then DDG shows me a buch of stupid Spanish results, when what I really wanted was my native language.

In the end I always end up reflecting that allowing the search engine to learn stuff about you is indeed somewhat useful. Still, DDG is the default search, Google will only get the queries it handles better.

Edit: I guess DDG could try asking my browser about what language it's configured in and prioritize that over Spanish....
It appears that the P14s AMD does support S3.

Comment from @chx on a different thread I found last week:

Apple unveils game-changing MacBook Pro
Me too, it's amazingly simple. It's a radically different language but if you really like that, you should check out Elixir/Phoenix.
Yes, they do.

If you notice, you have mentioned baseload, baseload power generation, baseload demand or base-anything exactly 0 times, because it has near 0 relevance, which is the point of the entire discussion.
The notch occupies otherwise wasted space in the menu bar - how is that not purely positive?
Yes. Up to three on Max.
Ask HN: Was that Apple event the Mother of all Prezos (MOAP)?
Yes. The Pro and Max can drive 2 XDR displays.
Real keys and not touchbar, advertised as a feature in the presentation. What a leap of innovation. Though Apple makes the best hardware, they are arrogant as ever.
Personally not. They've been optimising for thinness at the cost of pro-ness for too long I think. This seems like a more sensible balance to me.
Request for startup: a phone screening service that works
That’s one of several reasons I still like my 2013 Google Chromebook Pixel (runs normal Linux pretty well).
I think I stopped "seeing" the notch a few days after upgrading to a model with one. It is not "there" for me cognitively.

I imagine the same will be true with a notched laptop display, especially if it is "hiding" in the menu bar.

But I am also surprised it's so big, I wonder if once you commit to notching there is a minimum width that becomes harder to mask perceptually...
Epic update. Crazy fast chips, 120hz, mini LED, more ports, 64 gigs of ram. It's literally everything you could want in a new MacBook Pro.
Indeed. The M1 Max can drive 3 6K monitors and a 4K TV all at once. Why? Professional film editors and color graders. You can be working on the three 6K monitors and then Output your render to the 4K TV simultaneously

Don’t fish for karma by making the exact same comment on four threads.
While I do agree with the latter 2 points, (can't multi-jump, hard to memorize), the assertion

It follows the order of the DOM elements and not the visual position of these elements on the page, which means that it uses the HTML structure (not user-friendly), but it should go after the layout position (spatial position);

Isn't quite true - all HTML elements support the "tabindex" attribute[0], which can be used to set the tab order of a page's HTML elements.

That being said, using "tabindex" (or having an out-of-order page structure) can cause accessibility problems for those using screen-readers and related programs.

From [0]:

Warning: Avoid using tabindex values greater than 0. Doing so makes it difficult for people who rely on assistive technology to navigate and operate page content. Instead, write the document with the elements in a logical sequence.

> So basically apple just went back to the things they tried to fix that weren't broken and then messed up the aesthetics by making it a design from 2010 and added a notch.

"Apple corrected nearly everything about their laptop design that people complain about, used a design this is considered by some to be the best MBP design ever [1], and put a small intrusion on the screen in the least-used-possible spot in order to provide more overall screen real estate. Why does Apple hate us?"

In theory...but despite the sub 20% approval rating of congress over the last decade the same people keep getting voted into power. If you don't like the rich abusing their power...don't buy their product. Does it suck to not use Amazon...sure, but making an impact is not easy.
As a developer with a mobile app all of the different notches have been a pain to deal with.
On WordPress: it's important to remember it's a starting point for most of those uses. It's what people build entire platforms on when they don't want to/can't afford to start from scratch. People sometimes dismiss the number because "it's all WordPress," but that would be like dismissing Rails or Django. WP isn't exactly like Rails/Django, but it fills the same niche where you can pretty much assemble anything you can think of from pre-made components.
The greatest improvement: no touchbar.
Er, no. NY shut down coinseed, which was definitely ripping people off.

Grasshopper, which Dynamo is really trying to compete against, is in wide use in the architecture world.
Happy to see they added Magsafe but ALSO still support charging via the USB3 ports.
No, remember that the notch extends the display upward, and does not expand downward into the display. Apple's reasoning is now you get a 16:10 display without having the top menu bar enroaching within it.

Which I'm perfectly fine with. Useless black area made useful.
The iris is superior to other biometric modalities in so many ways that they appear to be almost toys in comparison.
I don't think I agree. The article is not making generalizations about the wealthy. It's about the top 10% wealthiest and stating they own 90% of stocks.

If you wanted age normalized wealth, the top 10% would probably be a lot of rich kids whose peers have negative net worth. I'm sure that's an interesting cut, but it's a different topic.
The neural engine seems to be only about inference. For training it seems most systems rely on Metal like the Apple Tensorflow plugin [1]. But I have never tried to do ML on macs so I am maybe wrong.

[1] https://developer.apple.com/metal/tensorflow-plugin/
No i meant they were right to just put back what wasnt broken. I guess I have worded it wrong. I am just complaining about the design team putting the notch.
I don't see much issue with having a notch on a laptop since it now lives in the middle of the menu bar now. That's typically negative space in most apps anyways.
