> The overall bandwidth isn't affected much by the distance alone.

Testing showed that the M1's performance cores had a surprising amount of memory bandwidth.

>One aspect we’ve never really had the opportunity to test is exactly how good Apple’s cores are in terms of memory bandwidth. Inside of the M1, the results are ground-breaking: A single Firestorm achieves memory reads up to around 58GB/s, with memory writes coming in at 33-36GB/s. Most importantly, memory copies land in at 60 to 62GB/s depending if you’re using scalar or vector instructions. The fact that a single Firestorm core can almost saturate the memory controllers is astounding and something we’ve never seen in a design before.

I wish they offer non mini-LED display option since developer don't need such quality. Apple need to break down "Pro".
Expensify’s CEO sent a letter to every single person Expensify had an email for, even simple ground floor employees who just use the software to submit expenses an email prior to the 2020 presidential election.

The CEO sent a long diatribe about how the election of Donald Trump would be the end of democracy as we know it, and it is imperative that Joe Biden is elected.

I will never give this company a single cent after that stunt.
I'm a hardcore apple fan (from before the iphone) and this hub situation is just pathetic, they should have put in an USB-A in there and call it a day.

You can run into some VGA projectors but most have HDMI now though.
> Because people actually want one cable for everything.

The problem is that the "industry" gave us one port for everything while giving us a confusing mess of mixed capability cables that use that port.
Perhaps leading to fewer failures and longer device lifespans.

As far as I understand, the less components and heat, the longer the electronics keep working.
But of what use are they? It saves you like a dozen or so pixels when apps aren't in full screen, and they don't do anything in full screen mode. Wouldn't hiding the menu bar save the same amount of pixels without the notch?

I personally find notches to be very distracting visually, and I just don't like them from a design standpoint.

I think Apple recognizes this even. Looking at their marketing material. You have to scroll pretty far down to ever be shown the notch, as it seems they're intentionally hiding it with apps in full screen mode.
What sucks is that all those laptops built between 2013 and 2022 will be dogs on the used market.

Prices will fall, and they have been falling, but they’re not going to crater. The high end models will sell to people that have workloads that are intel only. The cheaper models will sell to people who want to pay less than the price of a new mac, or who don’t understand what they’re buying and think they’re getting a good deal on a 3 year old pro mac priced above the m1 air.
I feel your view of CF is about 4 years old. Combine CF's Cloud strategy with their IT/Security offerings (eg Cloudflare One), they are effectively building a new layer on the internet. Very sticky and hard to replicate unless you cover all bases like Cloudflare. Though, it might usher in a dark age if they are too successful. They could end up owning the internet.
In modern Apple laptops (2018 and later), the storage is soldered as the memory has been since 2015. Contrast this with a Dell XPS 15 you can buy today within which you can upgrade/replace both the memory and the storage. This is the case with most Windows laptops. The exception is usually the super thin ones that solder in RAM Apple-style, but there are some others that do as well.

There's also the fact that Apple does things like integrate the display connector into the panel part. So, if it fails - like when Apple made it too short with the 2016 and 2017 Macbook Pros causing the flexgate controversy - it requires replacing a $600 part instead of a $6 one.

> "Disrupting" health care would involve the federal and state governments massively deregulating health care and insurance so that a private, free market could actually exist. Disruption/competition are quite literally illegal as it stands.

The problem isn't regulation. Many other countries are far more regulated in the health care industry and operate a private market just fine. In fact some might even argue that some of the problems with the current US model is a lack of regulation.

The problem I've observed isn't a lack of competition, it's that all of the competition play by the same broken rules. You basically have an industry where people need your service. It's not luxury, it is literally life and death in many cases. People have to use your service, whatever it costs. And you then allow those companies to regulate themselves, companies that will almost always put profit ahead of welfare. That is never going to turn out well. But because libertarianism is very much a core part of the American ideology, whenever the question of how to fix the problem arises you argue that the market needs to be deregulated further. Basically just doing more of the same, as if it will suddenly fix things despite decades of proof that it hasn't already.

Now I'm not going to pretend that other counties have a perfect system. But I do believe the only way you are going to get a health care system that works for everyone is for voters and politicians to want something that is, at least on the surface, very "un-American".

> I'm personally concerned with the 50 Stalins sort of sentiment surrounding health care.

And here lies the problem. People are so brainwashed into thinking any form of social health care is communism and bad. Quite frankly, it's ridiculously misinformed. In fact most of the rest of the developed world has a social health care system AND private health care, capitalism, etc too. On this particular occasion you can actually have your proverbial cake and eat it.

> Why not fix the causes instead of trying to legislative more effects and doubling down on government interference yet again?

Because you're fixing the wrong thing. You're looking at a broken faucet causing water to leak constantly, and instead of fixing that faucet you go and break more faucets thinking that should some how change the behaviour of the first faucet. Then when the flow of water gets too expensive you then start arguing that it's not the leaking faucets at fault, it's the water rates instead. If this weren't a political problem then I'm sure most on here would throw their hands up shouting "learn some basic root cause analysis!"
Not OP but I'll add:

AWS can only have a single NAT gateway per subnet/availability zone(they are usually added in the route table as 0.0.0.0/0). Nat GWs can only scale up so much. If we blow past the limits, then the only option is to use resources from a different subnet. I realize things cannot scale vertically forever, but the fact that one can scale horizontally (by adding more NAT GWs in different subnets) tells me that there could be an architecture that would make this a non-issue to customers.

Also if a NAT Gateway has issues (see the outage on Aug 31st) we, the customers, have to figure out how to route around it.

In Google Cloud you can (easily) add multiple NAT gateways as your requirements grow, while staying in the same subnet. Not sure how far one can go (didn't go past 20 Nat GWs or so). We still have to worry about that (specially since in GCP the number of allowed connections is much smaller), ideally we shouldn't have to worry about this either :)

Azure does not have the same concept because they are bonkers (outgoing traffic goes out of your load balancer (?!))
I guess M1 Air is targeted towards execs, business crowd, marketers and such who's primary day job is not into creating, not something that'd require Pro level capabilities anyway.
Wouldn't it be more impressive if they were served warrants but refused or were unable to comply? This just makes it sound like no one uses DDG so the authorities don't care to request that information.

Waste creates more emissions. Instead of producing something once, you produce it twice. That's why waste is bad, it's not just about disposing of the wasted product.

>, then their only recourse is to file a lawsuit against the uploader (not against Google, as Google has done their duty under the safe harbor provisions).

Your assessment is incorrect for the legal options a DMCA claimant will use and doesn't match how previous legal proceedings actually played out.

E.g. Viacom still filed a lawsuit against Google because they disputed that 'safe harbor' applied Youtube.[1]

Google did settle with Viacom (helped by offering ContentID as a tool) but they didn't win any definitive court ruling on "safe harbor" that makes Google lawsuit-proof in the future.

In A15, Anandtech claims the Efficiency cores are 1/3 the performance, but 1/10 the power. They should be looking at (effectively) doubling the power consumption over M1 with just the CPUs and assuming they don't increase clockspeeds.

Going from 8 to 16 or 32 GPU cores is another massive power increase.

> Learning/using Vim has nothing to do with muscle memory. This is a common misconception that leads to rote learning and, since Vim has hundreds of commands, the use of flawed ready-made cheatsheets _and_ the looking for ways to bypass that horrifying learning curve.

Completely agree on rote learning vs learning the actual language of Vim and being able to compose commands fluently.

I guess my feeling on muscle memory is similar to muscle memory in a natural language. If someone was learning English, you wouldn't encourage them to simply memorize phrases from a phrasebook, but it still is important to practice -- it's not possible to hold a long conversation where you need to think about verb conjugations every sentence, to become fluent it needs to become automatic.

In the same way, I'm familiar enough with Vim to know "Oh I want to delete the contents of this string, OK that's delete=d + inner=i + string=' -> di', oh crap it was a double quoted string, ok u+di", uh what was I doing again?" I've struggled with finding a good way to practice Vim to the point where I don't make those kinds of mistakes and don't need to think about the operations, in the same way that when I speak English I don't (usually) think about the verb conjugations.

My thought on this tool would be basically a set of drills of the form "Change this file to look like this", which each force you to compose Vim commands in a certain way. In the same way a Spanish textbook might ask you to translate "I went to the store", "She went to the library", "They went to the soccer game", this would have you drill using these manipulation operators in different combinations and contexts until it became automatic.

I know Vimtutor has a little of this, but from what I remember doing it a few months ago, it focuses mostly on the simple commands that are pretty easy to pick up via analogy from other editors (ok dd is delete line, like ctrl+k in sublime), and doesn't have the repetition aspect (you can just do vimtutor multiple times, but then you don't get variety).
The notch is an explicit design choice, it's visible and iconic. It differentiates the new models and you can make a reasonable argument that space is always used by the status bar in macos currently, so this is a net improvement without question.
For context, Apple started soldering RAM in 2015 and soldering storage in 2018.
That sound like HBM2, maybe HBM3 but that would be the first consumer product to include it afaik.

Basically the bus is really large, and the memory dies must be really close to the main processing die. Those memory were notably on the RX Vega from AMD, and before that on the R9 Fury.

> It's not about usable space.

Why shouldn't it be?

That space was black on the old MBP. It's black on the new MBP. I've now got two newly usable strips where the bezel used to be. The top menu bar is already left/right split, so it fits fairly naturally in there; my movies won't be any bigger or smaller with it.

I went from iPhone SE to 13 and the notch there was a nothingburger. Thirty seconds after the "oh right, there's a notch" it's mostly forgotten.

I appreciate your thoughts and, perhaps to your surprise, entirely agree.

I'm calm about it now because I've had years to reflect and learn. I began in 2013 buying small sums of bitcoin around ~$50. I amassed ~$500k by 2017, the most I had ever seen in my life, and throughout the year I made some profitable trades on btc-e.com. I had a competitive advantage on that platform because my orders would be filled prior to the blocks those transactions would be in. btc-e was seized by US authorities in July, but much of their funds were already gone.

This was entirely my failure. What did I learn?

* diversify crypto holdings (such as OP's hot and cold wallets)

* diversify outside of crypto

* use regulated platforms (traditionally these are banks)

* understand fundamentals (I was so painfully naive)

* help others avoid these pitfalls (if I had a single friend I trusted to disclose my holdings, I'd almost certainly have made better choices)

I just responded to another comment below, which you might find helpful https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28910361. The foundational elements a blockchain provides - namely transparency and ownership of digital assets - are absolutely critical to our future as a society.

Crypto in its current forms is mostly noise, but there are also really pivotal things being build by people I choose to trust far more than the World Economic Forum.
I don't think it matters that it is impractical. It isn't the FSF's job to write Rust tooling, it is to write licenses.

I do agree that that the concern is becoming much more orthogonal both to the FSF's goals and to the way software is built. But that doesn't change the fact that the license works the way it does, nor does it let you insert the words 'dynamic linking' in it.
Yes. But the 14" and 16" has larger battery than 13" MacBook Pro or Air. And they were designed for performance, so two less EE core doesn't matter as much.

It is also important to note, despite the name with M1, we dont know if the CPU core are the same as the one used in M1 / A14. Or did they used A15 design where the energy efficient core had significant improvement. Since the Video Decoder used in M1 Pro and Max seems to be from A15, the LPDDR5 is also a new memory controller.
I’m in the market for a great development laptop. Do you have any links to ones that are comparable to this for under $2k

I need 32-64gb of ram, a 1tb ssd, processor as fast as the M1 pro, and all day battery life.

> Or what if you're a klutz and spill your grape juice glass over your keyboard? Congrats, now you're -$2000 lighter since there's no way to take it apart and clean the sticky mess inside.

Thanks to the Right To Repair, you can take the laptop to pretty much any repair shop and they can replace anything you damaged with OEM or third-party parts. They even have schematics, so they can just desolder and resolder failed chips. In the past, this sort of thing would be a logic board swap for $1000 at the very least, but now it's just $30 + labor.

Oh, there is no right to repair. So I guess give Apple $2000 again and don't drink liquids at work.
Why are you moving the goal posts? At first you asked whether "anyone" talked about it, the parent gave you a reasonable answer, and now you're talking about "everyone." Accept that some people do talk about the notch, however small the minority opinion is.
Well, yeah. He's clearly not a particularly technically-minded or diligent kind of person. I don't think anybody thinks he is, Dominic Cummings said that BJ is actually pretty conscious and self-aware about this.

I think the UK was kind of a perfect storm where Boris was both the least suited prime minister for a crisis in recent history, and the british state resources were really depleted after a decade of austerity - which also wasn't particularly good for the health of vulnerable people in general.

I'm not really particularly anti-Boris specifically, though. The nice thing about him is he clearly doesn't really care about politics. He's not a hardcore ideologue like Osbourne, or Javid, or even Blair. He's just interested in ratings, polling, and power. So I think his political program is probably better than Cameron's was, for instance, just because he's a populist, and the british public generally has more common sense than the british elite.

In general, a useless head of state isn't too bad, if you have a good state apparatus that gets all the real work done while they basically entertain the public. That's what Boris was supposed to be. Unfortunately, the pandemic happened, and a majority of the people surrounding him turned out to be morons.
In the power/performance curves provided by Apple, they imply that the Pro/Max provides the same level of performance at a slightly lower power consumption than the original M1.

But at the same time, Apple isn't providing any hard data or explaining their methodology. I dunno how much we should be reading into the graphs. /shrug

Show HN: I trained a neural network to write scam emails
This exact question was asked a year ago when the M1 was announced.

In the year since, their laptop market share increased about 2% from 14 to 16%[0].

The reasons for this are:

1. When deciding on a computer, you often have to decide based on use case, software/games used, and what operating system will work best for those use cases. For Windows users, it doesn't matter if you can get similar performance from a Macbook Pro, because you're already shopping Windows PCs.

2. Performance for most use cases has been enough for practically a decade (depending on the use case.) For some things, no amount of performance is "enough" but your workload may still be very OS-dependent. So you probably start with OS X or Windows in mind before you begin.

3. The efficiency that M1/Pro/Max are especially good at are not the only consideration for purchase decisions for hardware. And they are only available in a Macbook / Macbook Pro / Mini. If you want anything else - desktop, dedicated gaming laptop, or any other configuration that isn't covered here, you're still looking at a PC instead of a Mac. If you want to run Linux, you're probably still better off with a PC. If you want OS X, then there is only M1, and Intel/AMD are wholly irrelevant.

4. Many buyers simply do not want to be a part of Apple's closed system.

So for Intel/AMD to suddenly be "behind" still means that years will have to go by while consumers (and especially corporate buyers) shift their purchase decisions and Apple market share grows beyond the 16% they're at now. But performance is not the only thing to consider, and Intel/AMD are not sitting still either. They release improved silicon over time. If you'd asked me a year ago, I'd say "do not buy anything Intel" but their 2021 releases are perfectly fine, even if not class-leading. AMD's product line has improved drastically over the past 4 years, and are easy to recommend for many use cases. Their Zen 4 announcement may also be on the 5nm TSMC node, and could be within the ballpark of M1 Pro/Max for performance/efficiency, but available to the larger PC marketplace.
