I’m so disappointed to trade a multifunction thunderbolt port for a single use hdmi port when the same thing can be done with a £5 cable. I wish I could get that M1 pro max chip in my current MacBook Pro.
And in the case for the M1 Pro, apple is showing it to be faster than the Lenovo 82JW0012US - which has a RTX 3050ti. so the performance could be between RTX 3050ti - RTX 3060. All of this with insanely low power draw.
Luckily it's not, the cable is a 2m magsafe to usb-c.
Yeah and it interferes with wifi (on MBP 13" from 2019).
Gaming with BT headsets is a poor idea for so many reasons in general, so I have no idea why it was even considered.

If you are having prolonged gaming sessions, you are doing it at home, so use wired. If you are on the go and want to listen to music or watch videos, use wireless. If you want to have a short gaming session on your laptop in public, then yeah, sure, airpods will serve it just fine. Though in those 6 hours, you might want to take a 15min break or two. And in those 15 mins, it will charge for about an hour of battery charge on airpods.

It's like complaining that a Lambo is not good for carrying lots of cargo. Technically the truth, but that's not the use case at all.

The bad decision is not adding face id to the notch
Mostly for gaming. I use bootcamp now to play MTG Arena and StarCraft 2 on windows which seems to have much better perf.

I imagine gaming doesnt work well in parallels?
E2E testing today vs. E2E testing 5 years ago
I haven't been able to see if the DAC that powers the headphone port supports 24-bit/192 kHz yet. Being able to listen to Lossless audio without a USB DAC would be nice.

It seems possible that Apple would add that since it's a feature of Apple Music Lossless.
Wouldn’t be all surprised if at least some of those ports will make it back whenever they release the redesigned 13 inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. Probably time constraints that made them release them with the old design. Just my guess.
That makes me happier, but it's a deep gash into an otherwise perfect rectangle. It's a little like the buying a brand new table (or car) and the first thing you do is accidentally put deep gouge in it. Perfectly serviceable? Yes. But still needlessly marred for the life of the product.
Ask HN: Have you learned / tried to learn Vim? How did you approach it?
I've been brainstorming some ideas for a tool or service to help people learn and get faster at Vim, and was curious what HNers have done to learn Vim. Of course there's Vimtutor, and Vimcasts, but I'm especially interested in how people have overcome the "practice hump" where Vim initially slows you down due to a lack of muscle memory.
This doesn't stop SEO promotion. However I can't say DDG hasn't occasionally ranked some submarine results higher.
Real estate (land to be specific) is a popular investment because it lets you extract economic rents.

You can build a dynasty around land because ownership is barely taxed. Land does not degrade by simply keeping it vacant. Meanwhile everyone around the land needs it to live on or to work or to extract resources. Inequality isn't driven by well deserved high returns, it is driven by monopolistic extortion where you cannot refuse even if you know you're getting ripped off.
I agree that in normal use it's only covering the menu bar and probably won't be much of a deal. What happens if an app has a lot of menu options? What will that do to the bar?

What about gaming? is this something the developers will have to work around or will the game only be below the notch?
maybe around next fall
I think the e-waste angle is mostly unrelated.

Can you explain why you like a larger bezel? It seems like a hands-down negative to me.
I think you're misreading that first link. It seems that only 37% of adults think that blackface is never acceptable. That's actually less then the gender one you linked.

Plus that first link is specifically asked about use in a Halloween costume.
>These laptops are focused on people who want to be able to do "everything" on a portable computer.

At some point when you are "doing everything" you start to be tied to a physical location anyway. Multiple screens, hook ups to external equipment. So it just doesn't make much sense to me to actually need to do everything in a portable manner.

Edit: Apologies, I didn't address the part about the Mac OS ecosystem.
This is also true. Gaming laptops tend to have a nice blend of performance features that lend them well to overall performance in may cases, but likely not focusing on super long battery life.

It'd be great if there was a marketing push for gaming laptop-like performance without all the gaming embellishments like RGB lighting, "stealth" appearance, etc. I'd love an elegantly designed, high-capacity battery version.

The Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition gets the best of these features, with the one exception of lacking a mux switch to turn off the integrated graphics when using the dedicated graphics for even more performance on the built-in screen. There are several YouTube videos that cover this, amongst the best are Jarrod's Tech.
I’ll flip the question. Why do you think it would be a negative thing? Why would having that knowledge hurt?
Well, I did give you the Wikipedia definition, so I can't fault you for being skeptical, but is there something in about article that suggests that definition doesn't fit, and if so, what? Does it bring to mind a different definition for you?

I could also speculate that the author, who I don't know anything about, knows a bit about art history and is specifically referring to the Progressive Era in art and architecture. That would lead to the ideas that came out of the Ecole des Beaux Arts in the late 19s and early 20th centuries.
I am a math hobbyist, and I wanted to work on my linear algebra knowledge. So I've decided to implement some of the most common algorithms from the CS curricula.

ARM going mainstream in powerful personal computers was exciting enough as it was, with the release of the Apple Silicon M1. With time hopefully these will be good to use with Linux.

Different priorities for different people.

13" and 14" are unusable for me. They're just too small.

I used to love that form factor when I was running through airports in a different country each month, which is why I'm typing this on an 11" Air. But in today's world, a bigger screen is more important.

This one has 16.2 inches, which is almost as big as the old 17-inch Mac laptops, so I've ordered one.

If I ever get back to traveling a lot, it'll be the 16" at the hotel, and then just take an iPad to the client. No need to drag a whole computer with me anymore.
There are literally still so many comments just like that and plenty of people who simply won't buy a phone that has a notch. The comments never stopped.

The screenshots showing application menus almost hitting the notch are ugly af. I'm sure that there are applications that have even more menus than Photoshop or Premiere.
> The notch is a huge bezel with cutouts.

The notch is a tiny part of what remains of the previous bezel. That space isn't usable on an older M1 MBP, either.
Recruiters think I'm an engineer. I'm not. But one pitched me on a crypto job
For people who are interested in this and don't have/want to buy apple stuff: the Chromecast 4k allows this with any bluetooth audio device. It definitely is a super handy feature!
Yup my bad
intel 12th gen, alder lake, does mix high efficiency and performance cores, like the M1 series... but it's certainly not a total in-die solution like we see with the M1.

And also, the wait time for alder lake to ship in actual laptops is unknown.
I suggest thinking about design as not belonging to a 'date' or an era, but whether it solves a given problem.

We've grown up in the era of designers that make us think that design is aesthetic and like fashion, it evolves. I think of it like an engineer - its job is to solve a problem.
I think the notch works ok on the iPhone as iOS is specifically designed with it in mind. The small spots abreast of the notch are fine for battery meter, clock, and reception bars.

The Mac notch is right in the middle of the toolbar. I have lots of applications that use that space for menus and will be curious how cumbersome it will be now that we need to literally navigate around it.

Will we need to move the mouse down to get around the notch, or will the cursor be allowed to go under the notch?
> ... grepable ...

This is so important.

It is also the reason why I like global variables. They are accused of making a spaghetti mess but ... in my experience the opposite is true.

Fancy patterns are way worse to reverse engineer than simple flat long functions accessing globals. Easy to debug too!

You could use the new AMD cards at least though right? I don't think Nvidia support will ever happen again though (I got burned by that, bought a 1060 right before they dropped Nvidia).

I'm on a RX 5700XT with my Hackintosh, and it works well.

Edit: Thinking about this more.. I bet third party GPUs are a dead end for users and Apple is planning to phase them out.

What are you talking about? Nexo and Celsius are centralized.

There are no blockchain contracts. When you sign up with Celsius, you transfer ownership of all your crypto to them. If they went bust, it is their asset and their bond holders get it.

In return you get a promise of interest, payable at moment you ask to withdraw.

But there’s no blockchain contract.

1. They buy your crypto outright

2. They gamble it in the markets (their secured debt issuance documents lists greyscale, osprey and some stock warrants on a failing biotech company as their assets. And one crypto tech firm, forget the name)

3. You hope they don’t go bellyup and will give back the crypto if you ask for it.

No blockchain contract, total centralization
Is 8GB more memory and an upgraded processor worth the $700 price difference from MacBook Pro M1 base model?
Calling this Bayesian seems a bit like wishful thinking at the moment, you could just as easily have called it frequentist as the main mechanism is merging adjacent bins based on a p-value.

A truly Bayesian approach would require specifying a likelihood function for the data based on the choice of bins and turning this into a posterior distribution on the choice (and number) of bins.

Calculating the maximum likelihood estimate for the simplest such likelihood function (samples within a bin are uniform + the number of bins is geometrically distributed) can be done with a vaguely similar algorithm, but simply merging adjacent bins greedily is almost certainly biasing the result right now.
I've been extending the life of my MacBook Pro 2012 (13") all throughout those Dark Days (with 8GB RAM from the start an SSD added later). As a software dev using it day in day out. It's really at its end now, runs only on AC and the only reason I can still run (yet not debug) the apps I build is with a bit of a hack.

I skipped the crappy keyboard, and loud, hot running versions. The M1 was a bit new and low on mem for me (wrt the future), but I just ordered the M1 Pro 32GB.

Only hesitation I had concerns ARM support. It sure is getting better and better, but if they would have added one more superb Intel model right before introducing the M1's I'd have gone for that. But that might have hampered M1 adoption so I can see why they didn't.
I'm sure most Americans also believe that rape and murder are wrong (unless done in some far away desert by the military), yet such acts are featured prominently on Netflix.

If you don't max out the HDD space, but max out all the portions which effect performance, it only about half that.
> It's literally everything you could want in a new MacBook Pro.

If it doesn't run VirtualBox then I can't use it to write code, so why does it even matter if it's faster?
Many folks have commented on both sides – lots of folks think it's overkill and lots of other folks that have actually used those screens like it as it provides an overall higher quality display and viewing experience for sharpness and crispness of anti-aliased text and more.

If you do not have good near-sighted vision, it's understandable if the feature is not that appealing to you.
I’d love to have it, but OSHA requires that we don’t work too much on the laptop. So, I would need a keyboard, a large screen and a mouse…

I must not be the right audience. But would a videographist really mount videos on his laptop?
I noticed the feet on this laptop seem a lot more prominent than previous iterations, and I'm sure the reason is to allow better airflow
This is what I'm afraid of, too. Maybe things are working well and seamless, but the last thing I want to do is have to worry about being the first dev on my team using non-X86, and pushing Arm versions of Docker images all over the place or having to modify my Dockerfiles to use Arm versions instead of X86.

One of the reasons Mac was so nice was that everything worked the same locally as it did on Linux prod machines, whereas even today there are subtle bugs with naive Java or Python code that doesn't deal with paths or line endings correctly. On big multi-team projects, there are always some junior devs on Windows that just don't get it right.

This seems like another problem waiting to happen as more devs start using Arm, while the majority of developers and environments still use X86.

Does either have a 10 core CPU or large cache memory?
It’s interesting that the M1 Max is similar in GPU performance to RTX 3080. A sub $1000 Mac Mini would end up being the best gaming PC you could buy, at less than half the price of an equivalent windows machine.
In their charts, they showed it's about even (in performance, with much lower power consumption) with a laptop using a RTX 3080 (Mobile), which performs about as well as an RTX 3060-Ti / 3070 (Desktop). So that's pretty wild. More and more games getting playable on macOS too through native ports or emulation, so in theory you wouldn't need a gaming PC anymore. These numbers are for the M1 MAX though, which is a bit more expensive.
I can't get behind any $180 pair of earbuds that doesn't have some kind of form-fitting ear tips (silicone or otherwise).

A very odd method where logistic regression would have sufficed. I would have done something like

library(mgcv)
gam(y ~ s(x), data, family = binomial)

to do a wiggly logistic regression, and avoid the binning issue entirely.

You can do it Bayesianly if you like, but I don't see why we should discretize the data into buckets.

And what am I supposed to take away from the normalized histogram?
Stop Equating “Science” with Truth (2017)
Where did you see the "matches the 3070" thing? When I was (admittedly) skimming the two articles, the performance metrics were all about "performance per watt" which ... doesn't mean anything for actual performance in a "how long will this scene take to render?" sort of meaning.
>But what they won't do is put the chip in an expandable and repairable system so that you don't have to discard and replace it every few years. This renders the carbon-neutrality of the chips meaningless. It's not the chip, it's the packaging that is massively unfriendly to the environment, stupid.

Mac computers last way longer than their PC counterparts.
Oh yeah that’s a good one. I can’t edit now but always good to know for next time
No, you!

Seriously, look at the promo images that Apple created for this product:

https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-14-and-16/

The vast majority of these images hide the notch by not showing the menu bar at all, which is not how a Mac is generally used. The other images make it less noticable by putting it over a dark background. Does that convey confidence in the design, by the designers that were tasked to make it look good?

The best thing you can say is: It's not that noticeable under certain conditions.
MST would work correctly _in Windows_ on my last-gen MBP, so I think it may be a limitation of macOS. Apple has only ever officially supported MST over Thunderbolt, never over USB or DisplayPort.
No problem there. "Full" screen can just start below the notch. (Don't know if they'll do that, but they should.)
>my high computation oriented use cases are offloaded to a desktop

That used to be pretty common. But I'll almost certainly use one of these to replace ~2015 vintage iMac and MacBook Pro. Unless you want to keep the contents on a laptop and a desktop separate or have very high-end multimedia workload requirements, it probably doesn't make a lot of sense to pay for and manage two separate devices at this point.

I see them as documentation of what I think something means or is, which the computer can check for accuracy (more or less), both as I write and as the codebase changes.

That legibility to the computer is what makes them much better than documenting the same thing some other way. Are they out of date? Were they wrong to begin with? The computer will tell me, no action needed on my part. I need to look up something in the context of what I'm reading right now—oh, look, the computer just told me exactly what I needed.

It's refreshing to see them actually listening to customer feedback, I don't think this ever would've happened in a Jobs/Ive world. Would they have released "pro" focused M1 chips/laptops? Absolutely. Would they have gone back on the (IMO) trainwreck that was touchbar and removing everything but 2x USB-C ports? No way.

ALSO, I'm actually kind of shocked they're supporting charging by both USB-C and magsafe. That is 100% the right thing to do and 100% the opposite of what Apple would normally do (namely lock you in to having to buy magsafe-3 and magsafe-3 only to charge the laptop).
Lots of people use SD cards as basically "permanent" extendable storage. And this is something that's much more necessary on lesser Macbooks because they come with such limited standard storage. A 256GB SD card is under $40, while adding that much storage to the SSD in the Macbook is hundreds.

HDMI is just one of the many display ports around, and the people using it are probably tied to a desk or something, so having a dongle for it is really no big deal.

I don't mind using my Anker for HDMI, but it sucks that I have to use it for SD.
