I mean, I feel that this take is by far the most misguided. There are no "exact sciences." Even suggesting as much shows a deep misunderstanding of what science is.

Mathematics is not a science, it is a deductive framework based on axioms that are effectively arbitrary. Engineering is a exercise in applied use of physics, chemistry, and other sciences. Wide of margins for error are employed in most engineering exactly because most engineers know what variables they don't know, and even still there are engineering failures that regularly occur.
I am mad at both. Universities should not participate in such unethical activities!

Just as a reminder Cambridge Analytica also started at a University. And many politicians are seek advice from academics who are directly or indirectly incentivized by Facebook. Through grants and/or through access to data others don't have access to.
> Personally, I would never consider a web-based software for professional use.

I've seen a lot of enthusiasm for OnShape (a relatively new web-based CAD tool) among professional CAD users, particularly when there's more than a handful of people working on one project.
How to check your oven’s temperature, and what to do if it runs hot or cold
Ah, so for most of us LED itself is not strictly the problem. Low quality ones with a low refresh rate, like in some department stores, are a problem.

It is likely other sources of flicker like temporal dithering (FRC), you can see it here (it is on Windows too): https://youtu.be/0y-I3hqQgCQ

The visual noise/dots you see is the dithering. The e-ink display is slow enough so we can see it.

People with BVDs are strongly affected by that noise...and unfortunately simple pair of glasses does not help.

Playstation 4 (maybe also the 5? I can't get ahold of one, so I dunno) controllers have a headphone jack on them that can be used this way, I think. Route the audio through the (bluetooth) controller, to whatever you've plugged in to it.

I think some higher-end Rokus can route audio through their remote control, to plugged-in headphones.
Yeah the marking phase cannot be efficiently vectorized. But I wonder if it can help with compacting/copying phase.

Also for me the process sounds oddly familiar to vmem table walking. There is currently a RISC-V J extension drafting group. I wonder what they can come up with.

For all the times Apple seems to be willing to "stick to its guns" and ignore consumer complaining, this seems like a weird time to give in.

They basically made a line-in-the-sand on USB-C adoption, and it pretty much worked. I'd argue that an HDMI and SD card readers are less useful, and certainly far less versatile than additional USB-C ports.

For all the dongle jokes of a few years ago, I don't really see a reason to go back to less versatile ports in laptops.
As an indie film/animation/game/music studio the only reason we see for still using youtube is for their free 4k video hosting/streaming. If you look around at the alternatives(Vimeo etc) it gets really expensive to host 4k video given the massive bandwidth.

Youtube's overzealous content ID system should push studios etc to create their own original music. We have several original feature films on youtube with all original soundtracks and have no issues with flagging etc as none of our music has been sold to music licensors etc.

Youtube's content ID system even goes after sound effect libraries- we had an issue in 2012 where our original animated feature film was flagged because of a wind sound effect that was 5 seconds long. It was an original sound that somehow matched a licensed wind sound. We disputed the wind ^_^ and the flagging/flogging was dropped.

It might a drag to hear for studios not wanting to do the extra work but I think creating/hiring people to create all original material is the way to avoid such things on youtube. We think its better for culture as well.
Generally I'd agree. But it is the BBC, and it directly quotes the letter from the US House Judiciary Committee to Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, which is the source for this article.
Louis makes "Apple impossible to repair" videos since ever. It's not an iPhone 13 thing, give it a few year and you can claim that iPhone 17 impossible to repair, unlike the prehistoric iPhone 13.

Here is a video from 2013, him complaining that Apple doesn't let people repair their products: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdlZ1HgFvxI

He recently moved to a new larger shop in attempt to grew his Apple repair operations. Then had to move back to a smaller shop because as it turns out, it wasn't Apple who is ruining his repair business.
It's almost always a case of "no one got fired for buying IBM". Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, Cisco and the like are all entrenched in the business world because no one wants to be the guy to move the company over to a smaller, better, cheaper alternative just because there is a chance it could fail and their jobs would be on the line.
Darn.

Hard pass then. I already have a pretty fast Windows laptop. The only real issue is it sounds like an helicopter underload. ( It also thermal throttles hard ).

So how much more effectively could you regeneratively farm without being chained to the limits of organic farming? Just as a baseline, crops engineered towards this end instead of toward pure profit would likely be much better at it than anything organic.
That depends on how you model infection. If you treat it as gunshots, that is: if you didn’t get hit by the infection in the first time period, you’re 100% healthy, and just as likely to get hit in the second time period, the probability of surviving n trials each of probability p of getting infected is 1 - (1-p)^n.

That’s a simple model, though. Another model may have your resistance decrease after being ‘attacked’ by the virus in the first period (as a boxer who gets knocked out in round 10 due to a blow that wouldn’t have hurt him in round 1), and/or it increasing (I would guess over longer time periods) because your body develops some resistance.

Such models are likely better in the sense that they can better predict what happens, but also more complex, and their parameters may be harder to estimate.
This is beautiful... I'd pay $4k for a mac without a damned touch bar!

Now if they can just get rid of the legacy lightning jack on the iPhone.
Indeed. But the difference between modern Perl/Ruby/Python/Java/Whathewer frameworks that use some kind of application container and PHP is that in the first case you know what is shared and work in the world with shared things, while for PHP there is shared nothing except for implementation defined shared random things that you have no idea that might be shared state.
I like my wired, ordinary earphones. They are low tech, cheap and reliable. When I pick them up from my pocket, I may have to spend a few moments to untangle then, but it is usually just a few seconds. After some months the wires start to go bad. Then I use a new pair. But such a pair costs very little.

I don't know what I am missing, but I think I would be frustrated if expensive wireless earphones run out of battery when I need them, or lose their ability to hold charge, or I lose them. It is a worry I don't mind to live without. I am probably just a cheap grumpy old man....
They were actually protesting what they thought was a stolen election, ie, the "end of democracy". See how we're all on the same side rhetorically? We all want democracy.

Too bad they shot themselves in the foot with the cybertruck design. Don't get me wrong I think it's funny/cool that a car with that design is out there, but it just won't be able to eat up the high-end performance truck market even if it has insane torque.
But only because the mortgage holder is going to die one day. That's the big difference between you and a corporation or nation. The country can revolve its debt forever.

There is a limit to how much debt it can support, but it's determined only by that country's productivity and tax structure. As long as it can pay the interest, it can keep growing its debt.

Eventually that reaches equilibrium, but there's no reason for any particular $BIGNUM to be the equilibrium point. It's currently around 10% of all spending, which strikes me as a large but not unsupportable number.
It's good to either use a multifaceted metric or use a different metric for each team based on team purpose.

Agree. The best way I can describe it, is that it's a design pattern for a lightweight runtime.

You can use monads to implement exception handling, global state (without actually having global state), and async/await.

It's difficult to explain how all those features can be implemented through one generic interface. But it's easy to see how each of those things would require a "lightweight" runtime.
I agree that the CEO is not the company and should not use the company as an amplifier of their own personal beliefs or views.

That being said, I don't buy that you (or anyone, I am not pointing fingers) _don't care one wink_. Maybe you don't care on this very topic because you disagree or simply have no interest in politics. But I'm willing to bet that on another topic closer to your heart (pick your favourite), that could reflect on your views and relationship with the company.

And actually, because the voice of a CEO is globally impactful on the brand of the company, CEOs tend to be publicly rather quiet. Exceptions apply.

Emissions affect everyone on the planet, no matter where they happen. But polluting the ground or water only happens in China, so a lot of Americans that care about emissions don't care about the other types of pollution, because it doesn't affect them.
Some basic math makes believe the Monterey menu bar might be 74px height.

(3456 * 10/16)-2234 = -74
(3024 * 10/16)-1964 = -74

Which means both models have a 16:10 ratio + 74 extra pixels in heigh. Clearly they are adding stuff for the notch instead of clipping from useful area...

> languages like C/C++ where types become a chore

It's been a long while since I used those languages, but I remember the chore part wasn't so much of typing Int or String and more so having to care if it's an Int, Short, or Long or if the float is single or double precision. I believe that those micro-optimizations are no longer popular, but manually thinking low-level is not something I enjoy.
Google Music desktop kind of sucks, but works _ok_. The main reason I'm still sticking with it is because I like listening to music on my phone, and I don't want to have to stream everything. I'm very, very vaguely looking at better solutions, and have a few things bookmarked.

Do a lot of people "run" on S3? I'm guess that sort of thin lock-in is perhaps a tiny portion of S3 and AWSs utility billing revenue?

Even so, dropping egress fees if they see substantial migration could completely change the calculus on the switching costs for users.
> IA actively maintains the code which does this and any competing project would need to spend the same time on that for the same reasons.

I'm not sure why they would have to compete. They're literally solving the same problem in basically the same way. I see no reason to fork this code.

> That's an interesting theory but do we have any evidence suggesting that it's likely? In particular, SETI@home / folding@home did not involve either substantial resource commitments or potential legal problems, both of which would be a concern for a web archiving project.

But this isn't a concern of a web archiving project any more if content-based addressing becomes the standard, because pervasive caching is built into the protocol itself. Publishing anything on such a network means you are already giving up some control you would otherwise have in where this content will be served from, how it's cached, how long it lasts, etc.

> All of what you're talking about is voluntary. One challenge of systems like this is that you don't know whether a node which simply disappears is going to come back or you need create a new replica somewhere else.

Yes, you would have to be more pessimistic and plan for more redundancy than you would otherwise need. Each node in a Google-scale distributed system has a low expected failure rate, but they still see regular failures. No doubt they have a minimum redundancy calculation based on this failure rate. The same logic applies here, but the failure rate would likely have to be jacked up.

> Since you don't have an SLA, you have to take conservative approach — lots of copies, geographically separated, etc. — which reduces the total system capacity and introduces performance considerations.

Whether there would be performance problems isn't clear. Content-based addressing is already fairly slow (at this time), but once content is resolved, fragments of content can be delivered from multiple sources concurrently, and from more spatially close sources. Higher latency, but more parallelism.

I'm not willing to invest the time needed to gather the data you're asking about to actually quantify all of the requirements, but despite the points you've raised, I still don't see any real obstacles in principle.
Well for the hipster culture what we were doing wasn't cool.

Longer since integrated graphics used to mean integrated onto the north bridge and it's main memory controller. nForce integrated chipsets with GPUs in fact started from the machinations of the original Xbox switching to Intel from AMD at the last second.
Sure. I'm making the argument that 2k for a laptop form factor is outlandish, not that there aren't products as bizarre as 'gaming laptops' that perhaps cost even more.

I have yet to see a mass market use-case for a powerful laptop. Who are these people that need to regularly go from place to place and need to do compute-intensive work in those various places?

I've been given laptops at work - everyone would've been better off with a mac mini 100% of the time (assuming you can upgrade those?) - the only people who don't connect their laptop to a big monitor anyway are people asking for neck and shoulder problems within a decade.
Maybe it didn't bother that guy.
Why does it not work for your use case? When the areas either side of the notch are unused (as in full screen mode) you just have a regular 16:10 screen with a top bezel. If previous MacBook screens worked for you then this one will too.
In the pro market especially you have people who are stuck using some enterprise software that is only developed for PC like a few Autodesk programs. If you are into gaming many first party developers don't even bother making a mac port. The new call of duty and battlefield games are on every platform but switch and mac OS, and that's increasingly par for the course for this industry since mac laptops have been junk to game on for so long.

I use Google for work DDG for play.

Google is just so much better at finding technical related content.
Yes, but only at the very extreme. It's normal that a high core count part at low clocks has higher efficiency (perf/power) at a given performance level than a low core count part at high clocks, since power grows super-linearly with clock speed (decreasing efficiency). But notably they've tuned the clock/power regime of the M1 Pro/Max CPUs that the crossover region here is very small.
I managed to get a new phone with a headphone jack, but it's "wrong" somehow and the plugs just pop out.
i was also hoping that they would somehow be able to shoehorn an ethernet port inside of the power adapter, like on the M1 iMac

on my M1 MacBook Pro (which, throughout the pandemic, has rested on my desk in clamshell mode all day, like a desktop), I use a

ethernet <=> ethernet to thunderbolt 2 <=> thunderbolt 2 to thunderbolt 3/usb-c

adapter chain, which takes up an entire usb-c port since it doesn't work at all when I plug it into the usb-c pass-through on my other usb-c hub

unfortunately, there seems to be some kind of hardware bug in the thunderbolt 2 ethernet adapter, so even when the machine is asleep or off, it runs hot

it also seems weird that Apple doesn't manufacture a first party ethernet <=> usb-c adapter — if i'm not mistaken, the only one on their website is made by Belkin and costs $30; moreover, I don't think anyone even manufactures a 10gbps ethernet adapter for the M1

I think Dave has done a lot of good work at normalizing the Trans community through his jokes. He doesn't punch down like some have asserted.

Even though I feel like this last special wasn't great, at no point did I feel like he was Trans phobic or unkind. Does he go far? Absolutely, likely further than anyone else would dare go... But his jokes are his medium for making people think about societies deeper issues.

One of the best examples of this is "how old is 15 really?" (YouTube it).

While taking that sketch at face value or out of context it could be construed as a savage attack on a 15yr old girl who was the victim of a kidnapping. But anyone with half a brain should be able to deconstruct the underlying message and see what the real takeaway is. He shocks you first, then he makes you think.
> HDMI used to be useful for plugging into a projector for presentations, that use-case is now nearly non-existent now that all meetings tend to happen over zoom, webex, teams, hangouts, etc. even when in-person.

I'm not sure you have the information to make the claim that the use case for HDMI is nearly non-existent. We use HDMI all the time. Availability bias is a thing. I find that people drastically underestimate how much they don't know about a subject or use-case of a product.
Yep:

They hinted at this with some of the screen shots they showed:

I don't know enough about MacOS GUI development, but I'm guessing if an app requests a full screen display, it gets told the resolution is the resolution minus the top, and that's just blacked out.
Please write a type for the following function:

def compose(start, *args):
def helper(x):
for func in reversed(args):
x = func(x)
return start(x)
return helper

There is no mainstream typed language which can write a fully general type for the vararg compose function. TypeScript is probably the one that comes closest, but last I checked it still was unable to write a sufficiently powerful array type. You can write a type for a version of compose with a fixed number of arguments, but not for one working over an arbitrary number of arguments.
Back in 2018 I chose to buy a refurbished mid-2015 specifically to avoid dealing with those issues. And feeling no frustration whatsoever :)

I guess when you take a stand and refuse to hand over your money for anti-features, you do get rewarded sometimes.
I don't agree for a number of reasons, but mostly that I don't think "custom" alone is a good reason to do literally anything.

But I respect your opinion, and I hope you are able to forgive me.
The hardware is amazing, but I could not see myself going back to proprietary closed source OS. I would like to chose the distro (hey some people want NIX some OK with Ubuntu), X11 vs Wayland, pick the display manager, decide if I want to run LTS or beelding-edge, etc. My only hope is that some day Linux support all MBP hardware well enough to use this a Linux laptop.
I think memory is part of that, whereas it would be excluded for the other chips you mentioned.

But OTOH 57B transistors for 64GB of memory means there would be less than one transistors per byte of memory - so I'm not sure how this works, but I'm not too knowledgeable in chip design.
Or perhaps the same idea was in the air in the same sense that Think Like a Dinosaur and The Prestige had the same plot twist?

I have always used MBP for rendering. Usually not for final renders. I'm not always connected to high-speed internet so it is handy for work-in progress renders especially if you are not in the office.

Or even if you are working on model that is on the server you still need to have good specs in order work with it.

I have a bunch of questions about the notch:

- When you go "fullscreen", does the fullscreen window stop at the bottom of the notch, or like can you see the notch in maximized Netflix videos? In the keynote I thought I saw a maximized video whose height stopped just under the notch.

- So is the extra notch space used only for the menubar? What happens when you auto-hide the menubar (which I do)? Is that functionality disabled on this hardware?
