The worst thing about the NotchBook - this union of iPhone notch with MacBook - is that all the other laptop manufacturers have a way of copying Apple's decisions: non-replaceable batteries, soldered in RAM and SSD, fewer ports, near-zero key travel for keyboards, and now a notch. The Dell XPS line has had ultra-thin bezels for ages with no notch but now future XPSes might have a notch just because some Dell suits thought, "Look at how many of these NotchBooks Apple is selling. Consumers must want the notch." But correlations of sales are not causations of sales.
3070 is Samsung 8nm vs what I believe they said was TSMC 5nm here? Being an all new architecture perhaps it also has more design thermal improvements.
I think it's really funny how they undid every single complaint this crowd had, and rather than focusing on that, people are complaining about the notch.
The real question is can you plug in a display and not get kernel panics.

While this is true, you're not allowed to criticize the flawlessly angelic Intelligence Community on HN.

Holding up the CIA as a bastion of virtue whilst denouncing the public faces of our war crimes is the best way to maintain your karma here. When Tony Blair passes, be sure to dance on his grave too, because the GCHQ puppetmasters did absolutely nothing wrong.

Does it support 4k@60hz ?
My mistake. But it doesn't have a 32 core GPU!

Agreed these counts look high - but the fact that they can slot this into a $3,499 laptop is remarkable and must say something about the cost effectiveness of TSMC 5nm process.
I suppose this is possible for people who never programmed C++ before C++11, I haven't really encountered this incident to know. The biggest annoyance I've encountered isn't a bug - rather, it's the annoying IDE warning that the member is unimplemented!

I know a Korean Engineer with terrible English. He is well aware how bad it is, but has no idea how to fix it. I'm a terrible speller (seems to be related to disgraphia - but the diagnosis didn't exist when I was a kid) with no idea how to fix it.

It is one thing to say fix your greatest weakness, if it is easy you should. However for many there is more gain from improving on a strength and avoiding situations where the weakness matters; than improving the weakness, even though a small improvement in the weakness is worth more than an improvement in the strength..
Yeah, when writing type inference is obviously nice, but it can be annoying to try to go back and read.

I think the best experience is having a language server annotate the inferred types (like how rust-analyzer does it.) But even then, it can become hard to read code on GitHub or somewhere where tools are not available. Granted that's becoming less and less of a problem, and even GitHub allows using some VS Code extensions now.
I think the issue is OS management of tasks to prevent cpu 1 from having to access memory of cpu 2.

It really isn't. Nvidia should be using clearly differentiated model numbers to represent two completely different lines. They did this to intentionally confuse customers.
I have to admit, that was frustrating. I’ve been in one meeting, once, where I needed HDMI but didn’t have any dongles.

No. See, Hall v. Geiger-Jones Co.[1] (supposedly the origin of the term “Blue Sky laws”) finding the state law constitutional under the state’s power to police fraud and not invalid as a burden on interstate commerce. There have also been several federal laws (enacted after that case was decided) prescribing how states may go about regulating securities so we can conclude that Congress intends for the states to have the power to regulate their securities markets.

I was more concerned with the lazy capitalization but thank you for changing anyway :)
I’m not saying performance is not different between these types of solutions or the dev work is not sometimes different.

I’m saying that the penalties (including development effort) for work co-ordinated between processes compared to threads can vary from nearly zero (sometimes even net better) to terrible depending on the nature of the workload. Threads are very convenient programmatically, but also have some serious drawbacks in certain scenarios.

For instance fork()’d sub-processes do a good job of avoiding segfaulting
/crashing/dead locking everything all at once if there is a memory issue or other problem when doing the work, it’s very difficult in native threading models to do per-work resource management or quotas (like maximum memory footprint, or max number of open sockets, or max number of open files) since everything is grouped together at the OS level and it’s a lot of work to reinvent that yourself (which you’d need to do with threads). Also, the same shared memory convenience can cause some pretty crazy memory corruption in otherwise isolated areas of your system if you’re not careful, which is not possible with separate processes.

I do wish the python concurrency model was better. Even with it’s warts, it
is still possible to do a LOT with it in a performant way. Some workloads are definitely not worth the trouble now however.
Of course, understand your concern.

I haven’t updated my HN in forever. It is updated now.

I love my 12" MacBook and will be sad when I have to replace it. Its single port is not a big problem for me, and I really appreciate how light it is. If I replaced it with an M1 MacBook Air I'd be bothered by how much heavier it is.

If they had made an M1 version of the Retina MacBook, there would've been no complaints about the performance.
And l3s and l8s write code that needs l7s to maintain.
Genuinely curious: what could you do on this that you couldn't do on iPad?

I am perhaps biased on this issue because I'm still mad about what happened with the Macbook Air (13" in particular). I bought one in 2011 and it was an amazing laptop. It was a sweet spot of compromise on power and portability.

But the best feature was the price: there is a world of difference between a $1300 laptop and a $3500 laptop. Both are reasonable sums of money but the first is infinitely more "replaceable". You don't feel as bad about losing it or having it break.

What came after were much more expensive for features literally nobody wanted (eg loss of ports, loss of MagSafe, a significantly worse keyboard, more expensive repairs, Touch Bar) at a higher price. The 13" MBA languished for years just needing a display upgrade and that's it.

I knew it was the nail in the coffin when the 12" Macbook came out because Apple wouldn't have 11", 12" and 13" SKUs (they also had the 13" MBP by this point) and I was right.

So for me the 12" MBP was everything bad about the new Macbooks with worse performance and a higher price. I didn't (and still don't) really understand who the 12" Macbook solves a problem for.

>WP isn't exactly like Rails/Django, but it fills the same niche where you can pretty much assemble anything you can think of from pre-made components.

Headless WP is becoming very popular too, and it seems to fill the same role. I've never used it, but I would imagine it takes just as much knowledge to build an SPA as any other backend framework like Laravel or Rails.

This is doubly true as experienced programmers argue that designing the data structures is the hardest part of coding. Code follows semi-automatically.

I assume they mean by comparison to what they would have gone for in an alternate timeline where Apple hadn't bungled the design in the first place.

They could have released another five years of evolutionary updates to the MBPr line instead, and then everything released between 2015 and the first half of 2020 would have looked less obsolete by comparison. i.e. There would be more demand in the used market for those machines if they were more cosmetically similar, even if lacking Apple Silicon and mini LED screens.
The big ticket items: Hardware-accelerated VSCode cursor animation. Dedicated button for exiting vim. Additional twelve function keys, bringing the total to 24; further, vectorised function key operations, so you can execute up to 12 "nmap <f22> :set background=dark" statements in parallel. Dedicated encode and decode engines that support YAML, TOML and JWT <-> JSON. A neural engine that can approximate polynomial time register allocation almost instantly. The CPU recognises when you are running Autoconf `./configure` checks and fast-forwards to the end.

I would also like a decent LSP implementation for Siri, but the question was about hardware.
Does anyone want to guess their packaging arch? Is it CoWoS? How are they connecting memory with 200 Gb/s bandwidth? Interposer?
The overall bandwidth isn't affected much by the distance alone. Latency, yes, in the sense that the signal literally has to travel further, but that difference is miniscule (like 1/10th of a nanosecond) compared to overall DDR access latencies.

Better signal integrity could allow for larger busses, but I don't think this is actually a single 512 bit bus. I think it's multiple channels of smaller busses (32 or 64 bit). There's a big difference from an electrical design perspective (byte lane skew requirements are harder to meet when you have 64 of them). That said, I think multiple channels is better anyway.

The original M1 used LPDDR4 but I think the new ones use some form of DDR5.
Yes... I understand. My questions was why this seems so desirable to have when it requires carrying more equipment, and seems like an unlikely scenario most of the time.
More to the point, they now have someone else designing these laptops.
Warning: I purchased AirPods 1st gen and after a firmware update, they just stopped working. They disconnect after a few minutes. It's been over a year and this hasn't been fixed. This seems to be a widespread issue (see links below) - but at the Apple store they just tell you to buy replacements for almost full price.

I'm quite frustrated with this and thus won't purchase these again. I think they are designed to last a year or two max, which is just too expensive and environmentally unfriendly.

I have the 16" MBP (late-2019), really annoyed with the heating issues. Any time I do anything intensive, like edit raw images in Lightroom, at some point temperature rises which makes some "kernel process" pretty much hog up all the CPU and the machine starts lagging severely. Looked up online and this is quite common.
It would be nice, but it's hard to know what probability is "too low". In short, the probability assigned by a model to a sequence of tokens can be arbitrarily low. There are things that are very unlikely to be said, but not impossible... and we still want them to be assignad some non-zero probability by a language model. So it's very difficult to choose a threshold that won't possibly exclude a large part of the sequences recognised by a language model.
By any definition, a podcast is part of "internet advertising" but there's less conflict there. Sure, I want to hear the hosts and not the ads, but if the ad is relevant, I don't mind the interruption, and hey sometimes it's an interesting product for me. There's a tension between the content and the ads, but not a fundamental contradiction.

No, this is the outcome of all interest targeting based models. You're interested in X, and they either don't show you X (to get X to pay) or they show you Y (which you aren't interested in) because Y paid.

Whereas with demographic targeting, hey I'm in demographic X and wasn't looking for a Y now, but sure, I'll remember it for when I'm in the market for one later.

You could pretty easily change that though. Having a cop drive around in a patrol car seems way less effective that if the same resources were used to pay someone to look at traffic cams and send out fines for dangerous driving.
Or they shrunk the existing “notch” from the full width of the display to the least-used real estate on the machine.
Is apple's halo effect affecting your perception of the mac vs PC market? iPhones last longer because they have much longer software updates, and are more powerful to start with. None of these factors apply to macs vs PCs.
This is a good point but I would say an employee at work is more useful than one who isn’t.

Furthermore, the position these employees are taking shows a serious lack of judgement that might not have been considered during their hiring.
It isn't too bad in my experience, having been using an m1 Air since release.

For images with an Arm version available, and that's seemingly quite a lot, it mostly just works(TM). No Dockerfile changes needed.

If you have no other options, you can even run x64 stuff with a bit of low impact futzing. Docker Desktop will use QEMU to do this for you, nearly seamlessly. (though rather slowly)

The biggest gripe I have is the local volume perf, which is "tolerable." This is a problem for Intel Macs too, although to a lesser extent.

Was it really “everyone”, or just a few very online people in your social media? The sold out pre-orders suggest this was not as universal as you're portraying it — for example, looking at I see a note that it was smaller and you have to go 4 pages in before there's a single comment complaining about it, and that's in a community which loves to critique Apple designs!

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/09/apple-makes-the-ipho...

Again, not saying this is nothing or that I love it, only that the buying public does not seem to feel anywhere near as strongly about it and I've never heard anyone complaining about it on a regular basis. Most people get used to it, if they're curious they probably understand that it's for the camera, and get on with life. I'd be quite surprised if this did not follow a very similar trajectory — especially since the display is larger so you could black out the entire top of the screen in software and still have more screen real estate than the previous model.

Can you help me understand that? I have an iPhone with a notch and I find it’s totally fine. Day to day I don’t notice it. It just kind of blends in to the design of the phone. And I assume the situation here will be the same. Most software doesn’t use the whole menu bar anyway. It wont be on top of anything except if you use that space to watch full screen video.

I’m not excited about the price, but I’d totally take tiny bezels and an upgraded webcam in exchange for the notch. This looks like an excellent upgrade.
If all you want to do is beat inflation you can just buy stocks instead of saving money. The real problem is that people get higher returns than inflation. Often higher returns than the growth rate of the economy as a whole.

The idea that inflation is killing us is simply not true.
Having done ASCAP fee schedules, the fees would be based on the amount of plays you've done. And you can pay per month, quarter, or estimated listeners in your area (for things like radio and broadcast).

This is *simple*, and stays completely above ground with respect to copyright and mechanical reproductions. And it also allows the creators remixing content to ALSO make money.

The hardest part is the ContentID that google already has. So it'd be keeping track of copyright owners, and paying.

Sure, non-monetized videos would have to pay to keep them up. That could be a bummer... But it could be a definite choice to do. Monetized videos could just be paid directly out of the monetization bucket.

A corollary: Companies are want to hire people who are good at interviewing, not people who are good at their job. The proof of this is that we find a disconnect between the interview process and the day to day job of working at as a software engineer. If you are primarily interested in making money, the best advice would be to become exceedingly proficient at the interview rodeo. Charm your way through the intro call, knock out the algorithmic quiz, and know the best approach for the problem in the technical screen right from the start. Improve your skill at these and your financial gains will be bountiful.
This is very interesting and first time I’ve heard / thought about this. Wonder how much power efficiency comes from exactly these things?
Yeah, that is good ofcourse.
Can confirm. Outside of the higher-end cameras (photo and video), EVERYthing still uses SD cards.

And it's easy to adapt microSD cards to it for Raspberry Pis, drones, dash cams, phones, audio recorders, etc.
I like the extra screen space 4K offers; but only on large screens. I run without any scaling (well, 100%), my editor offers 101 lines visible vertical and 470 columns. (each line is ~1/4" measured on a ruler; 27" screen 23" from my eyes)

I can view ~6 open files at once (more depending), and this can be very helpful when trying to remember context: instead of remembering, I just split the screen and open the same file again.

When I got a 4K monitor, it replaced my previous dual monitor setup. I now prefer just one high-res monitor. Only disadvantage is that I spend time tweaking font sizes, but that's mostly front-loaded and once it's set up (Linux) I don't even think about it.
If this is coming from this article: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/10/introducing-m1-pro-an...

In the picture titled "GPU performance vs. power", that is "relative performance" with lower power consumption, so it doesn't say anything about literal performance.

Then there's this:

> In addition, the GPU delivers performance comparable to a high-end GPU in a compact pro PC laptop while consuming up to 40 percent less power, and performance similar to that of the highest-end GPU in the largest PC laptops while using up to 100 watts less power.[2]

Where that 2 points to:

> ... Discrete PC laptop graphics performance data from testing Lenovo Legion 5 (82JW0012US). High-end discrete PC laptop graphics performance data from testing MSI GE76 Raider (11UH-053). PC compact pro laptop performance data from testing Razer Blade 15 Advanced (RZ09-0409CE53-R3U1). Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of MacBook Pro.

82JW0012US on Amazon has a 3050Ti in it
11UH-053 has a 3080 in it
RZ09-0409CE53-R3U1 has a 3080 in it

So there's some data. I've still got some real questions about why they're talking "relative performance" in their graphs, though.

I can't remember the last time I've needed USB-A when not at my desk at home, except in the weird cases where I left my Yubikey 5C on my other laptop and needed to plug in my Yubikey A. Generally, when I actually need USB-A, I need a _lot_ of it, so hubs/dongles are a necessity regardless.

And if I'm going to use a hub, I might as well get HDMI, Ethernet, charging, etc. out of it.

The addition of HDMI has eliminated at least 90% of the cases where I've needed to take a dongle somewhere with me.
