Yeah I just scooped one up, already just a few hours after this announcement and shipping is no longer oct 26 but instead dec 10

From what I can tell this is very high demand. Obviously we didnt know enough about Apple’s launch planning and inventory but it seems like this only happens when there is very high demand.
Original comment: CEO was bad because he emailed people saying Trump wanted to destroy democracy.
Reply 1: And he did try to destroy democracy when he lost.
Reply 2: Well, the people he incited didn't realize they were destroying democracy.

I think this is what they call missing the forest through the trees.
Car companies are going IPO without any product at all and no track record showing they can run a sustainable business.
As someone who enjoys watching recommended videos I'm glad your views are not shared by the majority.
Sure Intel have a server business but that’s smaller than client computing and revenues there are falling.

I don’t know what the precise % is but if Apple have 8% market share by volume their % of Intel’s client business by value is much higher. Losing a growing customer that represents that much of your business is not a trivial loss.

Of course this is all part of a bigger picture where falling behind TSMC enables a range of competitors both on servers and clients. If they don’t fix their process issues - and they may well under PG - then this will only get worse.
the price was reasonable for a good piece of software, but for the way people want to do ML research now (launch tons of parallel jobs on lots of cloud machines) the price, and more importantly, the burden of managing licenses, was prohibitive.
Rivian seems to be getting nice buzz, there, though.

I wonder if the Cybertruck in current form makes it to market if Rivian and Ford have a lot of success.
Anecdote, but... I rarely, but sometimes, need to read SD cards, for e.g. embedded systems, RPi, Nintendo Switch, etc. Not enough to go out and buy a brand new USB-C dongle which I would then lose somewhere in my house, but enough that it's annoying to not be able to use my primary laptop with it.

Don't get me wrong, I would still buy a MacBook with no SD card slot, but I would occasionally run into cases where I wish I had that dongle that I lost somewhere.
I originally read the title as "My indoor rowing tips after 15 meters" and was expecting a funny, sarcastic, take on advice given by founders extrapolating one quick failure into three pages of advice & cat pictures.
I was a participant (ie, research subject) in one of the previous rounds of studying psilocybin for smoking cessation at Johns Hopkins.

I was randomly assigned to the non-psilocybin "control" group. I still successfully quit smoking -- the "cognitive behavioral therapy" and just general support was great. The researchers showed genuine care, it wasn't like being a lab rat.

Because the study was designed with a "crossover" component, I still got the option, which I took, to return 6 months later for a psilocybin session. The session was interesting, but I wouldn't say life-changing. Probably. I am still a non-smoker, over 2 years after quit date, did the 6-months-post-quit session help? Maybe?

Ask me anything! Although I'm not sure what else there is to say!
Exactly - I don’t even see an argument being made that there is a connection.
Yes you can. [1] Or rather, there are classes of problems for which you can indeed prove a negative.

The article isn't dismissing conspiracy theories. The article is suggesting that conspiracy theories should be taken seriously and analyzed like religions because most conspiracy theories are very similar to monotheistic religions.
I already have an M1 Air, and I'm looking to buy the 14 MBP just for the display (working outdoors yay), battery life, and RAM (16GB + higher bandwith). There's enough horsepower on the M1 for me, not even noticeable compared to the i7 MBP 16.

Fortunately that's not a problem of needing user specific information. I'm sure by hiring the right engineers they can start improving on some of the search algorithms in this arena.
Doing some research to validate a business idea, can I get some help?
Ripplr (https://ripplr.io) is a place where people share their favorite links, initially we thought it could be some sort of social platform, but now I'm trying to validate if we were tackling the right problem, with the right solution.

I'm trying to gather as much feedback as possible so I'd like to ask some help with these questions, or if you'd rather have a short conversation, please reach out to mario@ripplr.io

Thank you
Complete newb to the space, but I’ve been playing with SketchUp lately for some hobbyist projects, and the inability to just TELL IT what to do instead of having to drag and drop constantly has been shocking to me. Like “attach this object to this other object at this offset” or “make a rectangle of these dimensions at these starting coordinates.” So this seems very exciting.
I don't need an algorithm, just have channels and a client-side subscription list. But on Vimeo everything is basically link-only and their front page wants you to sign up as a creator.
It's just not a competition to YouTube, it's a video hoster.
You can't just save the vault in Good Drive on your phone, because the vault is looking for a folder on your phone to sync to. The Drive option simply isn't there. From what I've seen you have to download another, third party sync app, to do that, and that just sounds clunky af. Obsidian charging $90 a year(!) for sync is just super lame. I can wait til they realize that.
Let's be real though. If the UK decided to create a constitution it would probably be stupid stuff like "Guarantee of safety" (24/7 surveillance, most outdoor hobbies banned, more powers for the British Board of Film Censors) and "Freedom from hate" (Criticism of politicians and media empires illegal)

Oh c'mon... I'm not going to argue that battery/build quality is better on the apple, but that is some serious FUD.

Literally just picked up an asus zephyrs g15 15.6" with 2560 x 1440QHD 165 hz refresh rate, AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS, 16GB Memory, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 and 1 Tb ssd for $1850 at Best Buy, then picked up 2x16gb DDR4 3200 MHz for $150 off Amazon to upgrade to 32gb.

It's quite simple. YouTube wants to be a dominant source for streaming music, to compete with Spotify. In order to do so they must keep the music labels happy. They don't really care about content creators anymore.
I don't go flat-out, but it is definitely high-intensity. I am always out of breath at the end, but not collapsed on the floor.

When I started I was doing around 2:05/500m. Now I am down to around 1:56/1:57, but some days I will go slower if I didn't sleep great or something. It is more about the consistency than the pace.

It is less than 8 mins total so it is enough to wake me up and get my heart pumping, but also allow me to recover quickly and feel ready to start the day.
Unfortunately, from what i've learnt from HN that this is not really possible. Most websites ban crawlers\bots with the exception of those run by google and maybe bing. It seems that this market is hermetically sealed.
Ahh, blaming the algorithms. Those nasty algorithms, where DO they come from, the pesky little things!?
Psychedelics have other dangers than acute toxicity. Not that I’m giving medical advice but it is extraordinarily difficult to die as a result of an overdose of most pure psychedelics which aren’t strange “research chemicals”. (Although I vaguely remember reading about a guy who accidentally took something like tens of thousands of effective doses of LSD being in a coma for quite a while)

However their power is in their ability to reshape your mind… and that they can do in very undesirable ways if done wrong.
Are you running TCP/UDP workloads or is NAT for any IP protocol needed?
I assume implicitly, yes.
> No evidence is required.

So what though? We're not arguing over how simple or onerous the due diligence process is. Whatever it is, whether it's as simple as just checking a box or as difficult as walking on the moon, it is something that needs to happen before you are "accredited". Households that don't go through that process aren't accredited, even if they're worth a trillion dollars. It's as simple as that.
I feel bad for taking advantage of their personal backup plan ($60/yr) now that I see they're struggling to gross a profit. I just can't find a better way to back up 80TB offsite with that value.
It's a tricky business. In terms of raw screen width, we have it. Or do we? Not necessarily on mobile, in portrait orientation.

From a readability/usability perspective, imagine the HN front page being filled top to bottom with titles, some of which go to 150 characters; what would that be like?

(A mock-up could be easily obtained for evaluation; or HN could just experiment with it for a few days.)

Currently, most titles don't strain the existing limit. When we scan the front page now, for instance, there are good many short and medium length titles.

A modest increase, say by +20 characters, might relieve most of the pressure without too many negative effects. Which is to say that maybe the current limit is a bit to the left of the true "sweet spot".
It is shaped differently and they said it was updated to support more current.

To make them go check. Maybe they got lucky and the site design was flawed.

So they can say they did. The jury will wonder why the investigation didn't include the defendant's search history. Now they can say, "We asked but they didn't have it".

One that comes to mind recently is the Irish-sea border as part of Northern Ireland Protocol spanning from Brexit.

This was challenged as being in violation of the Acts of Union 1800 (particularly Article 6, which establishes an all-UK Customs Union) but the High Court ruled that the relevant parts of the Acts of Union are "impliedly repealed" by the Withdrawal Agreement Act.

There's a BBC article covering this here: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-57666255
So what I'm curious about then is the practices/experiences the researchers/staff involved used/had in order to provide you with the space that you found supportive enough to help you quit smoking.

What was the dosing for the session with psilocybin? Did they tell you the strain/weight?
> Your comment is a condemnation of the action of the CEO without any specific concern raised about the action taken, and leaves one to conclude that you are a Trump supporter.

This is a good example of "I cannot understand why you do X, therefore I'm sure the reason is Y."
I can't say with any authority on why practices are different between the different environments. So, to that end, I should have offered it as /a/ reason, as I don't think it is the sole one. I can't shake that it contributes, though. I mainly meant it is a counter to the implicit "devs at office job are too lazy to learn different ways."

For other examples, I would dip into major logistical simulations/optimizations. Which basically drop into linear algebra as soon as they can, where much of the idea of typing is basically thrown out, so that we can solve equations and constraints, with no real tracking of which is which at different locations. There is a tranlation in/out, but once in, things are effectively "matrix of values.

(As an amusing aside, I love that I get to message with the authors of books I'm reading on places like this. I have your Crafting Interpreters. Working through it at a glacial pace. Plan to pick up the other one next. Kudos and thanks!)
I remember seeing a Toynbee tile in the street in the Wicker Park / Logan Square area of Chicago sometime in the 2000s. I think it was on Milwaukee Ave. It was strange and weirdly interesting, only later did I find out it was connected to a larger phenomenon.
Seems like FDE would solve that and make it a hardware non-issue.

Right. What part of "Ponzi scheme" did you not understand?

This has nothing to do with "crypto". This is the same scheme as Madoff's. It's almost the same scheme as John Law's bank of 1720. There's not much innovation in scams. Just new forms of obfuscation.

every time i buy a macbook they release a new one 2 days later.
Depends on the games you play. Some publishers are good about this, some aren't. Worth checking.
I suppose an epub would be pretty easy to convert (on a modern machine) into something like ZIL for ZILF. Good thinking.
My key takeaway from the article:

Colin Powell made himself a patsy. He knew that what was about to unfold was wrong, disastrously confused complicity with resistance, and facilitated the end of an estimated 300,000 human beings. Powell, at the apex of his influence, destroyed what had been his career’s central purpose: preventing a repetition of Vietnam.

Draper, who spoke with Powell recently, outlined the likely course if Powell had resigned instead. (Draper framed it in terms of the U.N. speech, but never mind that.)

What if that same voice that publicly proclaimed the necessity of invading Iraq had instead told Bush privately that it was not merely an invitation to unintended consequences but a mistake, as he personally believed it to be? What if he had said no to Bush when he asked him to speak before the U.N.? Powell would almost certainly have been obligated to resign, and many if not all of his top staff members involved in the Iraq issue would also have quit; several had already considered doing so the previous summer.

If the State Department’s top team had emptied out their desks, what would Powell’s close friend [British Foreign Minister Jack] Straw have done? “If Powell had decided to resign in advance of the Iraq war,” Straw told me, “I would almost certainly have done so, too.” Blair’s support in the Labour Party would have cratered — and had Blair withdrawn his support for war under pressure from Parliament or simply failed to win an authorization vote, the narrative of collapsed momentum would have dominated the news coverage for weeks. Doubters in the upper ranks of the American military — there were several — would have been empowered to speak out; intelligence would have been re-examined; Democrats, now liberated from the political pressures of the midterm elections, would most likely have joined the chorus.

We can never know a counterfactual. The Iraq war was a product of multiple systemic failures and the alignment of multiple interests. We can never truly know if a refusal by Powell to be part of them would have prevented the invasion. But we do truly know that if anyone’s refusal could have prevented it, it was Powell’s, and Powell made the opposite decision.

HDMI is ubiquitous. Any current projector, TV, or monitor (or any produced in the last 6 years) will have an HDMI port.

For a static port set, I think the burden of proof lies on whoever wants to remove the HDMI port.

However, I think Apple ought to have considered a Framework-style approach to ports. Why have static ports when you can have dynamic ports?

I am familiar with unions and union history. Also union busting efforts and the growth of unions until the 80s during the Reagan era - but to compare a factory worker or a longshoreman to software engineers feels like a facetious comparison with little merit IMO.

I worked at a retail job briefly after high school and it was a joke that I had to pay union due by law in the state of Maryland.

Software engineers are politically probably one of the strongest positioned labor groups in modern history, up their with probably high finance and heirs of huge fortunes. The fact of the matter is that most people don't want to work the vast majority of union jobs and simultaneously, corporations are willing to offshore many of these labor requirements in part due to the cost burden. Sure, management takes home a lot, but honestly I'm unsympathetic to most union industries and I shouldn't have to pay another tax to some obscure group to handle issues.

The book “On China” by Henry Kissinger makes almost that exact argument. Whatever your opinion on Kissinger, he opened relations with China and definitely has an interest viewpoint.
The thesis of the blog overall is that progress has happened, is happening, and is vitally important. Here the author is saying that despite the obvious existence of progress, people are pretending it isn't happening.

Having had to send in my early-2015 for repairs after accidental liquid damage, my next purchase will be a Framework. Mac repair costs are insane, I would have tried the repairs myself (thank $DIETY for YouTube repair videos), but it was going to be a multi-hour-process fraught with risk, so I sort-of get why Mac repairs are costly.

Since I had no AppleCare as I chose to "self-insure" (it's a 6-year old laptop), and the Apple Genius helpfully informed me the repair costs were the same as the price of a brand new Apple laptop (what a coincidence!), a 3rd party handled my repairs, and it was still pricey. I'm comfortable with DIY repairs, so I see Framework laptop when I decide my Mac bites the dust, or needs more costly repairs.
A famous starting point:

I thought Startpage is literally a privacy layer over Google Search and DDG has their own webcrawler and algorithms built on top of Bing.
I thought there was no constitution in the sense of a legal restriction against Parliament passing certain classes of laws, the way the US prevents Congress from passing certain laws. There are instead two conflicting strong traditions: 1) Parliament shouldn't do certain things; 2) acts of the current Parliament are never binding on later Parliaments. Any law the current one passes can be undone by a later one, things like Brexit notwithstanding since those are entangled with international treaties.

So Parliament might attempt to pass a "prohibited" law, trigger some level of public outcry or even intervention from the Crown, but at the end of the day, getting it through (or not) is just a political contest.

Is that wrong?
The rumor has long been that the future Mac Pro will use 2-4 of these “M1X” dies in a single package. It remains to be seen how the inter-die interconnect will work / where those IOs are on the M1 Pro/Max die.
And with that horrid dark pattern that forces you, for entirely arbitrary reasons to scroll down to click accept. It's really upsetting to see google acting in such a user hostile way. It's too bad.
It’s a bit of both. Lots of countries have low wages and lax safety protocols, but they haven’t been able to hit double digit gdp growth for decades because of that alone.

Some analysis:

The first major business cycle ever is hitting modern China hard
an has people seriously freaked out.
The price of houses never goes down some still say.
Sure, so then your currency takes the hit.
This is going to be rough,
and combined with damage from tragic natural disasters
there is the possibility of unrest and change in China.

The references to avoid too much welfare, laziness, and lying flat
show the government is seriously freaked out
by the young generation simply not working
with the same frenetic pacing and lack of restraint
that used to be present broadly in Chinese labor.

Emphasizing Communist Party ownership of property
and management of the economy and riches
means a heavy hand will be used whenever deemed necessary.

It is also worth pointing out that this endorses health care access
and improvement of rural areas
but has not particular way of accomplishing this.
Also, the heavy hand and emphasis on hard work
is arguably in opposition to calls for innovation
which is often driven by people taking risks
in order to achieve great wealth
both of which are now strongly discouraged.
It's a bit different to the original argument but there is the issue that people have more and more files created in those services and only existing within them (desktop Office tries its best to convince you to do this).

It's hard to convince people who go along with that "but you don't really have backups, you need to download everything locally and pay $5/month".
Very informative write-up.

Counter point: It's a self correcting problem (on a long enough time horizon). If his children can't manage their money by providing value to society (albeit not in the way that most can appreciate), they will quickly draw down that fortune and be unable to pass it on to their own children.

Investing that money, or otherwise allocating that money to companies who can better use it provides value to society at large, and in return, the person investing will receive a return on investment to live off.
War tends to drive a very specific type of progress, from my understanding. Generally speaking, the more lengthy and devastating the conflict, the more industry benefits. Look to the post war expansion by many of the allied powers following the world wars. Also look to the destruction that it brought to its theaters- the change there was also drastic, and not necessarily for the better.
