More modern ones do have front and rear caliper brakes. But the traditional oma/opafiets bikes use the pedal to activate the rear wheel hub for a brake. This is fine for a casual Dutch ride. The only big downside is that you cannot backpedal a bit to raise the inside pedal when coasting and turning sharply… so you may hit your pedal on the ground and get an unpleasant bounce.

But really, most new bikes have abandoned such old brakes.

I lean left and this is still disgusting. Not everyone needs to agree with everyone. This seems like something an intern would do.
I'm pretty sure they are comparing them with 2019/2020 MacBook Pros, which apparently have chips originally launched 2017.
Does someone know the implications of the new M1 chips for
neural network training? If I get it right, we'll see upto 64GB GPU on the new M1 processors?
The processing performance will not be the same as on a dedicated graphics card, but 64GB is a game changer, especially for large models, isn't it?

If liquid cash is considered an asset, so too can cryptos. Most of them would rather not be recognized as such formally due to regulations they desperately want to avoid, but call a spade a spade, etc., etc.
A tragedy, and showing a lack of ethics on the company side.

But frankly, the bigger problem is not the company ethics - (big) companies rarely have them - but the lack of an employer independent healthcare.

Sorry, that is what I meant. I'll edit.
It seems like Apple purposely comes so close to offering the perfect laptop only to falter hard on one or two features. In this case, it's the battery life. Continuous web use time is down from 17 hours on the 2020 13" M1 to 11 hours on the new 14". That's "up to" time, mind you, and with real use as a developer I expect getting 75% of that at most. So 11 hours just isn't enough time. I buy a laptop for mobility. I shouldn't have to plug it in at all during my work day. Yes, it's better than competitors but still lacking.

I would have been happier if they took the 13" M1 and added the ports.
Not earning income is a way to avoid income tax.
Yes, there are plenty of pictures of it on the page https://www.apple.com/v/macbook-pro-14-and-16/a/images/overv...
No one seems to be commenting on the 140 watt power adapter.

With the caveat that I already dropped $7k (after tax) on a top-spec model, I am very interested in seeing how hot these get. Particularly in light of how cool the M1 runs.

Prior to my current M1 MBP, my daily driver was a maxed-out 16" MBP. It's a very solid computer, but it functions just as well as a space heater.

And its power brick is only 100 watts...
Well, the Macbook Air at $1.0k is still better than any Macbook Pro ever made before now
That would be a good point if you actually could write the final code for CPU's, but you can't since the CPU internals do that for you. So from an application programmers perspective machine code is as low as it gets and C maps really well to machine code so C is a low level language.
> Yes and power negotiation does not protect against improper voltage whatsoever.

Oh? Everyone else seems to think the mechanisms are sufficient for safety.

> This wasn't my point, despite me addressing negotiation in another comment.

I still don't understand your point, unless it's a failed effort at pedantry.
I'm not suggesting any, I'm saying it's better to make decisions knowing that you don't know than acting like you can model the system.

I don't really have a problem with people doing this kind of research either, I'm bothered when they try to use these models to prescribe behavior.
Historically, draw was possible due to both players getting the same amount of points ("jigo"), but when playing under most popular modern rulesets, fractional komi serves as a tiebreaker.

Games can be voided due to a complex ko or superko.

There are modern rulesets with non-fractional komi such as the Ing rules (komi = 8.0) where jigo is possible. But under those rules, in the case of jigo, black wins... making komi effectively the same as 7.5.

For multiple games (e.g.: jubango), a draw can be declared if both players win the same number of games.
USB-C power negotiation absolutely protects against improper voltage, assuming it is implemented correctly.

Yes, the Economist and the Financial Times are in my eyes the most impartial of all mainstream media.

I don't care for gossip, VIP news, the latest murder and what that politician said yesterday. It's too overwhelming and noticeably lowers my quality of life (I'm trying to quit reading The Guardian, it's worse than social media for my mental health). I just want a big picture overview of what's going on in the world, often described from the cold and less emotional point of view of economics and markets.

I've been wanting to buy an Economist subscription, but recently I've been able to read multiple articles daily without encountering a single paywall.
Not just pointless: dumb. It doesn't support Skylake or first-gen Threadripper, which happen to power almost all of my machines but one, which uses third-gen Threadripper and will never see anything other than Linux.
If someone has a mortgage on a home, their net worth is still positive (unless they're under water). If you put 20,000 down on a 100,000 home and get a 80,000 mortgage, then your net worth is still 20,000. Yes, you have 80,000 in debt, but you own an asset worth 100,000. Net worth is total assets - total liabilities.
Yeah, especially if it could run Linux. This would be a powerful little server.

I decked out my workstation with a 16 core Ryzen & 96GB RAM and it didn't cost anywhere near the price of this new 64GB M1 Max combo. (But it may very well be less powerful, which is astonishing. It would be great to at least have the choice.)
I've been using CadQuery [1] a lot of late to develop custom parts for 3D printing, and while it's nice to be able to write plain Python and the abstractions are somewhat more intuitive than OpenSCAD, it's still kind of brittle and complex parts are hard work.

There are things CAD-as-code excels at, but once you leave the happy path of simple primitives with a few holes and a bit of chamfer, I found things can get really ugly real quick. Organic shapes are very hard to construct, and simply generating polylines or the like either fails because OpenSCAD takes literal hours to render or because CadQuery throws some weird error halfway through and I just can't get it to work.

I'd love to see a free or at least affordable (for hobbyists) CAD solution that isn't code-only, cloud-only, totally crippled in terms of functionality, or extremely arcane. I believe Fusion 360 went cloud-only (or almost) last year or so, and between Fusion 360 and FreeCAD (which I tried to learn, but couldn't figure out) there seems to be a big opportunity for an affordable, user-friendly, open CAD tool for the 3D printer owning masses (there are dozens of us!)

Oh that's cool, last I checked the best AMD card you can use is a Vega 64.
Haha, yes. I forgot the name.

I estimate it can be 10-20% extra pedal power required to overcome the extra friction when the dynamo is flipped into active mode. Sucks.

Grocery stores sell the little led clip on lights, so most people done use the dynamos.
Good catch, thanks for the reply!
As I said, there are infinite possible programs that cannot be type checked statically. This is derived from the halting theorem trivially - lambda(p) = if p.halts() then A() else B().

However, the intersection of programs I encounter in practice with the number of programs that can be statically checked is rather large.
Show HN: I just uploaded my Ionic-React videos to YouTube for everyone to enjoy
The video is super articulate.

I like what he did at 6:49:

> So that I can take advantage of these low rates at night, I use a roughly 16kWh battery that I just happen to have lying around. I charge it up over night starting at 10pm on the dot, and it's done charging usually by 3 or 4 in the morning. I keep it topped off until around 7, and then I start using it during the day. And it doesn't need to be charged again until the evening. Now the reason I just happen to have that battery lying around, is because that battery... is my house.
I would argue that any function that branches on argument type is straight up doing dynamic typing wrong. Well branching may not be the right word. Something resembling pattern maching is fine, but like you say having a function that takes a string for lookup OR the object is just a disaster, particularly when you start stacking function calls. Dynamic types should closer resemble things that all share an interface, not totally different representations of that data based on the shape of your code.

Javascript is by far the worst offender here with its ignoring extra arguments. Javascript functions that totally change effective type signatures based on number of args are the devil's work.

I'd argue that if the types that a function accepts are not easily defineable than you're doing dynamic typing wrong.
I am glad to see the return of magsafe (and having two USB ports in addition to the power cord)... but if that's the only reason I really prefer the new 14" macbook pro to the much cheaper 13" (that extra "inch" is $800!)

The lower cost machines used to get power and HDMI as separate ports to two USBs.... I wonder if future lower-priced machines will again, if this is a trend...

The extra ports are literally the only thing I want here that's not in the much cheaper 13" pro...

L3 is SRAM on all AMD Ryzen chips that I'm aware of.

I think it's the same with Intel too except for that one 5th gen chip.
Have you actually done that with a Titan key and had it work?
Lenovo X1 Extreme charges $340 to go from 16GB to 32GB. Then $680 from 32 to 64GB. (regular price, there's a clearance sale now). $300 to upgrade SSD from 512GB to 1TB. It's $2400 for an X1E (at sale price. Regular is $4.3k!!) roughly at par to $2k 14" pro.

Surface Laptop Studio with similar specs at $2100. Costs +$600 to go to 32GB and 1TB (which == $400 + $200 upgrade you mentioned).

Dell XPS 15" is $2400.

If you were even dimly aware of current prices for high-end laptops you'd know the Mac is priced in the same expensive range. If you prefer $1K plastic crap that's fine. Some people like Velveeta and Canned Spam too.
Apple is using SOCs now where CPU and RAM are one chip package. How are you going to upgrade RAM here even with the mother of all reflowing stations?
Cloudflare is a CDN. Nobody is going to use them to store their data even if they are cheaper. If customers cared about price they are already using B2 and B2 is still cheaper than R2.

Cloudflare is not eating anyone. They are just trying to expand their TAM. Cloudflare has always been very good at engineering marketing, and R2 is another masterclass but it will never eat S3
I thought they compared it with an i9-9980HK which is the top-end 2019 chip in the outgoing 16" MBP?
You were (unintentionally) trolled. My first post up there was alluding to the legend that Bill Gates once said, speaking of the original IBM PC, "640K of memory should be enough for anybody." (N.B. He didn't[0])

I can't never not think that if there were as few cars as there are planes in the sky (10k ?) road fatality stats would look very different.
"The law to the letter" is a legal fiction. There's your interpretation of what the law is, the content creators' interpretation of what the law is, and you can spend millions of dollars in legal fees and risk billions in damages to find out what the law actually says for your particular case.
> The music was originally purchased under the title of Irish Reel from SmartSound. The identical track for which copyright is being claimed has been re-named Kilfenora Reels.

Another huge issue that plagues ContentID is sample-based music. There is a huge number of pseudo-artists who license widely used sample packs, mash together songs with practically zero creative effort and then submit those songs to companies that register their clients' music to ContentID databases. When someone else uploads a song with the same (legally licensed!) samples in their composition to Youtube, it gets monetized with royalties going to the wrong person.
I'm curious about the docker image situation.

I had thought that the M1 could natively emulate x86 instructions. So why then can you not run the native x86 docker images? Is it a virtualisation issue?

What about compile-time type reflection?

Also, lisp has pretty much always been more powerful than C. But what zig brings to the table is an extremely simple language which is also very powerful. Much of the power results from the entire language being available at compile time. You seem so ready to throw that away in favor of could-have-been nostalgia, I wonder if you've taken the time to understand what you're criticizing.
But you can define your own * operator, separate to the one from Num, with any types you like, can't you? You might have to hide the one from the prelude to use it.
Well yeah, but science ("expert groups") also said all the vaccines work and are safe. Then they stopped using astrazeneca here, but the others were safe. Then israel said they don't work enough, and mandated a booster shot. Then a girl died due to Janssen vaccine here in slovenia, and they said that only mRNA vaccines should be used for younger people, because they are safe. Then sweden and denmark stopped with the Moderna vaccines, and the only one left is currently Pfeizer,... atleast for now. And all the time, people saying vaccines are unsafe, or that covid vs vaccines dangers are comparable were marked as stupid science deniers (in slovenia, zero deaths for girls under 25 due to covid, one death due to vaccine, where approximately 50% of 2mio total population got infected).
That's a very quick depreciation timeline...

Do you think this feature has some unfixable security issue?

Or perhaps there are only a handful of users?
IIRC this will make the compiler error less helpful than it could be? I think you'd get an "attempt to use private member" instead of "attempt to use deleted member". End result is probably the same, but it feels like you're not saying what you mean with the code.

Edit: NVM, looks like all major compilers will say that the copy ctor is deleted. https://godbolt.org/z/jTd3714Tb
Headphones are the use case I use the most to introduce people (usually younger people and students) to the benefits of low tech and overall to the benefits of less.

I strongly agree with you. My headphones are 10€, last forever and I have 2 pairs in a drawer. I'm still 100€ below the cheapest airPods and no one ever complained.

My phone is 5 years old, but since it does what I want: email, WhatsApp/Signal, Spotify, Podcast, Maps... I can stand having less shiny pictures of my kids. I don't care, I'm still having the moments, pics are just the reminder, and their sharpness is just secondary.
macOS Monterey coming out on the 25th has a new Low Power Mode feature that may do just that. That said, these Macs are incredibly efficient for light use, you may already get 24 hrs of battery life with your workload. Not counting screen off time.
Tldr; optimized for my specific search intensive and jumpy "music listening flow" using keyboard and mouse on a desktop workstation behind a corpo wall.

There are a few reasons I couldn't live with that (I did samba over openvpn on my phone for quite a while, vlc as the player).

Primary reason is I want it to be https so I can listen to my music at work, on my workstation without needing to poke through their firewall.

Secondary reason is that I listen to music the entire day and want a very quick way to find what I want, browsing lists and picking files is not working for me, I got addicted to the "j" key in winamp many years ago and this is kind of that idea distilled and redined a bit.

I made this after seeing another player here on HN called mstream, I used it for a while but the UI managed to both do too much and not entirely what I wanted.
> Controversial opinion, but I think adding Magsafe back (along with the other ports) was a step backward for the industry.

It's too useful not to add back. Every laptop should have something like this; it prevents accidents and damage.

Sorry, I meant to say that Manhattan has *approved* congestion pricing. Also, the stance of the NJ governor is totally consistent with the issue I'm complaining about. The town of Leonia wants to limit traffic on their streets and the state of NJ has barred them from doing so. The NJ state government is taking the same stance when Manhattan tries to limit traffic on its streets. Despite having some of the best mass transit options in the U.S., the NJ state government is strictly pro-car.
It has been a while since I left the company, but back then the blockchain is essentially a checksum on previous executed commands. Bedrock uses (used?) command logging as way to propagate changes. That is, they store the SQL in a table and apply the same command on all nodes, with a single master being responsible to be the canonical version.
But if you read the thread, you realize he is testing on a 2011 laptop, and the older architecture may be causing the issues. He reported a 3x speedup running the benchmark on a Raspberry Pi 4 in the same thread[0]

It appears that M1 Max itself comes in 24-core and 32-core GPU variants. So I guess some M1 Max chips are more maximum than other M1 Max chips.
That is definitely an important user perspective. My angle is that I am a professional robotics engineer as well as an open source evangelist. I design a lot of open source CAD and I’d really like it if the CAD package itself was open source as it is important to me to have a community of users who fork my designs. So far open source CAD does not feel adequate as a design tool for me. FreeCAD is conceptually the closest but it seems like the project needs more investment. I recently tried it again and it seems extremely simple compared to Solidworks or Onshape.

Honestly CAD is very complex software and is not well suited to a single engineer working in their hobby time. I think a huge reason Blender has been successful is that they built a sustainable crowd funding system. They currently pull in $166k each month with that system: https://fund.blender.org/

I am pleased to see also Godot engine (a similar type of tool) pulling in over $7k/month (last I checked) on Patreon.

Anyway there is a “business model” for open source projects even if they don’t sell anything. Call it a funding model. I think open source projects need to get a handle on that for anything that exceeds a very small team.

I am trying to build this kind of sustainable funding for my own open source farming robot (link in profile) and I think we’re going to go with Open Collective at least as a front end.

https://opencollective.com/

For fiscal hosting we’ve applied to the Open Collective Foundation and the Software Freedom Conservancy.

https://sfconservancy.org/

I think open source CAD really needs a funding plan like this. It’s a very large software project and we’ve seen how Blender and Godot are able to actually get traction and produce a compelling program with resources like that.
Contrary to popular belief, nerds are not impervious to being affected by emotions caused by lockdowns, trauma, worry about the future and similar things.
Huge, apparently. I just spent a bit over $7,000 for a top-spec model and was surprised to read that it comes with a 140 watt power adapter.

Prior to my current M1 MBP, my daily driver was a maxed-out 16" MBP. It's a solid computer, but it functions just as well as a space heater.

And its power adapter is only 100 watts.
Terrible analogy. You don't need hands to shoot a gun, and the hands-less man would still be issued a warrant if there were evidence he was the shooter.

The point is that being issued warrants and claiming to not have search logs are independently conclusive.
A laptop with thick bezels and no notch is the same as a laptop with no bezels, a notch and those pixels disabled in software. It sounds like you want it both ways - you don’t want to lose your vertical real estate (“which is already at a premium”). And you don’t want the notch. In the same paragraph talking about how important vertical real estate is, you hold up other laptops like the framework as ideal even though they lose vertical real estate via the chunky bezel.

I’m confused. Do you want design aesthetics (no notch)? Or do you want more vertical real estate (less bezels + a notch)? Having both would be the best. But given we can’t have that, if you were in charge of the MacBook Pro design, what would you choose?

Kind of surprising to me they’re not making more effort towards game support - maybe someone can explain what the barriers are towards mac support - is it lack of shared libraries, x64 only, sheer number of compute cores?

When I see the spec sheet and “16x graphics improvement” I go okay what could it handle in terms of game rendering? Is it really only for video production and GPU compute tasks?
Honestly until you have to suffer battery problems, you won't understand just how much better the user experience is to have a wire.

CPU and GPU is one die, you're looking at RAM chips on each side of the package. The M1 also had the RAM separate but on package.
