Your source says nothing about "give in".

Your source does not specifically mention airline pilots as having any impact.

Your source does mention "any employee not fully vaccinated will need to take a Covid test weekly, as long as community case rates are high, and beginning in November, unvaccinated employees in the company’s healthcare plan will be subject to a $200 monthly surcharge because the average hospital stay for Covid-19 has cost the company $50,000 per person" - hardly some sort of complete capitulation or rejection of "vaccine passports."
Netflix doesn't owe them a job, does it? They can do what they want with their company.
I think that for the first time, Apple has a real performance differentiator in its laptops. They want to highlight that.

If Apple is buying Intel CPUs, there's no reason making direct performance comparisons to competitors. They're all building out of the same parts bin. They would want to talk about the form factor and the display - areas where they could often out-do competitors. Now there's actually something to talk about with the CPU/GPU/hardware-performance.

I think Apple is also making the comparison to push something else: performance + lifestyle. For me, the implication is that I can buy an Intel laptop that's nicely portable, but a lot slower; I could also buy an Intel laptop that's just as fast, but requires two power adapters to satisfy its massive power drain and really doesn't work as a laptop at all. Or I can buy a MacBook Pro which has the power of the heavy, non-portable Intel laptops while sipping less power than the nicely portable ones. I don't have to make a trade-off between performance and portability.

I think people picked apart the comparisons on the M1 and were pretty satisfied. 6-8 M1 performance cores will offer a nice performance boost over 4 M1 performance cores and we basically know how those cores benchmark already.

I'd also note that there are efforts to get Linux on Apple Silicon.
I understood the author to be making a different point.

I don't think she was saying that the conclusions of science-like processes are worthless. Just that they shouldn't be treated as inscrutable fact, for the reasons stated in the article.
The Dell XPS has, hands down, no joking, the absolute most dogshit webcam I've ever seen. Maybe they need a notch.
Yes. Satoshi did it in 2010 [0], core devs did it in 2013 [1]. Most of the "community" are just sheep. They will turn on a dime and follow the shepherds wherever they go. So you don't have to convince so many individuals to really convince the whole flock.

They might also have supply constraints on these new chips. I suspect they are going to sell a lot of these new MacBook Pros
https://www.protondb.com/app/1250410 is the best source to find out how any given Steam game will run on Linux.
The Pro is faster than a laptop 3050Ti [1]. The Max is slightly slower than a laptop 3080 (looks like 8%). [2] Relative performance is somewhat meaningless, and of course also depends on what features where being used. However, my M1 Air compared extremely favorably against similarly priced PC offerings, and I expect my 16" M1 Max will compare favorably with a 3070.

> There are not so much professional use cases which will agree on removing screen estate and adding visual distraction. Screen estate is the main difference in professional UX.

You seem to have a misunderstanding of the new screen? Apple is reducing the bezel around the screen to provide you more screen space. How do you handle front-facing utilities like a webcam when you use up all available space? Their solution is to surround that area with a small boundary (the dreaded notch).

You can see that the Framework Laptop you cite has a large bezel around it to provide that top bar. You have less screen area here.

From the screenshots, it looks like programs running in full screen mode are pushed down to leave that top area, to give you your distraction free experience: https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-14-and-16/
I think the point was 2 ports is 1 port in practice. And so few ports used to be rare.

Great specs, but since I already have an 2020 M1 MacBook Pro, I'll hold off for a few more years. I'm hoping by then Apple finally has an OLED (or equivalent) screen for their MacBooks.
Important to keep in mind that Al Jazeera is not representative of the Middle East. While they have some of the most detailed coverage of the Middle East, it is from a Qatari bias. It's not representative and sometimes in contrast with other Middle Eastern adjacent states like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Iran.
To my knowledge windows is the only OS which renders the widgets at fractional scales and doesn't scale the output, but it only does it for apps which implement DPI awareness correctly. Some apps advertise to the OS they support DPI awareness, but then render controls at the wrong size. Others are GDI-based and don't support DPI awareness at all, and those are rendered 1x and scaled fractionally, which looks like a blurry mess.
If you never use it... why do you have to carry it around?
Really impressed by the new MacBook Pro. Part of me would really like to order a 14" model with M1 Pro and 32GB RAM. However, I really don't like Apple's direction with macOS. I'm still running a 13" MacBook Pro from 2013.

What's a little strange is that I first came to Mac with the introduction of OSX 10.0 although I wasn't overly keen of the hardware at the time. Now, I feel that the situation is reversed. I really like the hardware and am beginning to despise the software -- possibly to the point of abandoning the platform completely.

Several years ago, I moved my music collection out of Apple's software and I use an Android phone. I use an old iPad for web browsing and Youtube. I purposefully transitioned to a point where I can leave the Mac platform without a huge effort. It makes me wonder.
Not at all. In fact, I think your comment supports the point made in the article. This is about how we think about science, and how we communicate between the scientific community and the public, and how we communicate between one another.

Consider two possible perspectives, both "science-positive":
1. Scientific consensus is true. New findings add to our understanding of the topic and relates to the literature in that space.
2. Scientific consensus represents our best understanding of the evidence. New findings add to our understanding of the topic and relates to the literature in that space.

We don't need to say that science is True to conduct meaningful research. In fact, doing so may hide paths of inquiry that question fundamental components of scientific literature, to give one example that comes to mind.
If they've been audited, they've never released those audits.
It starts like that, then you have some ports fail on that $30 hub then you are buying more junk you wouldn't have needed in the first place if apple had more sense.
What you might be seeing is actually the difference between matte and glossy display. I was like you, seeing how supreme 4K panel was ... until I saw glossy 1080p which was much sharper than 1080p matte (which desharpen the image) and not much different from 4K (to my eyes).

(all comparisons took place on XPS 13s)
How would that help? Engineering is probably even more polarised than general science because engineers are all about the black-and-white.

The difficult part is that life is much more nuanced. Even if a woman's brain is objectively different than a man's, there might be a social or environmental reason, it might or might not have an effect on their abilities in different areas. Maybe if women and people of colour were given 500 years of time like white men, then maybe their brains would be the same as men. Who knows?

The danger is probably not science per-se but the pressure to find nice summaries to difficult problems. You would get a PhD on "women aren't as clever as men" much more easily than "the differences between mens and womens brains are really complicated and hard to understand"
It's in the latest iPhones.

It was never in the Macbooks.
It even went to foreign customers. Pretty gross misuse of customer data in my view.
Yeah, I have one, but I use it so rarely since I had Pixel 4.

I was also looking at wifi enabled sdcards, because I'm lazy and would like to get images sync themselves.

I thought pros use wifi sd cards already.

>people lose things, and Apple conveniently forgot about this to push the dongle ecosystem.

I think it's a bit unfair to say that Apple deliberately change interfaces in order to push their adapters.

They've got 2 different problems to address, firstly they want to update and be in control of the interfaces to their hardware, Firewire,Thunderbolt,USB-C but, at the same time their machines seem to last quite a long time, so at any time there's a pretty significant number of users stuck on older interfaces and with hardware that uses older interfaces too (e.g. I have an older Firewire external hd that I now dongle to Thunderbolt, have noooo idea how I'm going to get that to work when I get this new machine).

So in order to allow all that to work they need to support a multitude of interfaces because getting a new laptop shouldn't mean throwing everything else out.
In terms of Hardware M1 Max is great. On paper you wont find anything match its performance under load. As even Gaming / Content Creation Laptop throttle after a short while.

The problem is gaming isn't exactly a Mac thing. From Game selection to general support on the platform. So really performance should be the least of your concern if you are buying a Mac for games.
The way I try to put my views aside when thinking about how I feel about this is "if a CEO with the opposite political view did this, how would I feel?" and it's very clear it would make me very unhappy. So yeah, this is definitely not an okay thing for a CEO to do.
Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half.
despite the sophisticated math required, physics is also orders of magnitude simpler than biology, chemistry, or the social sciences, which is why physics models can reach that level of certainty and other sciences haven’t yet.

> Calling for lack of metaphor is interesting. In many ways, our industry is nothing but metaphors, so it is surprising for me to see them called down.

I don't think that's true. There are lots of metaphor because people love using metaphors, but it's not inherent to our industry. Abstraction is, but abstraction and metaphors are different. Metaphors seem to mostly come from blog-post type content, where people want to give you an intuition for something in less than 10 minutes. There's a really good article about this, in the context of monad tutorials, which are some of the most proheminent victims of these metaphors https://byorgey.wordpress.com/2009/01/12/abstraction-intuiti....

> I agree that no metaphor is perfect. But, by that same logic, I would argue that no specified type is perfect. Especially if done so in a taxonomy that does not admit exceptions. (And again, I'm not against types.)

I would call types an abstraction rather than a metaphor, though I agree with you that they are not perfect, in that all abstractions trade precision and exhaustiveness for speed. There are interesting alternatives to this with property-based checking and whatever clojure.spec is, and type systems themsleves are getting better, but we're still not at perfection. And even then, I don't think we will ever reach it. The "best" type systems currently all seem to have some structural parts, and some nominal parts, so there's no silver bullet.

I mostly use types to avoid stupid mistakes (I make lots of typos, and Typescript helps a lot here), and to improve developer tooling. I'd like to try some approach with DDD and types, but my current company isn't big on DDD, so I can't really judge it. I also like using unit and integration tests. All of these make me feel safer when doing changes. But some people are fine with catching errors in production and quickly fixing them.
Yep, agreed. I decided to make a private branch on gitlab, update it to the latest OpenMW .47 build and since then fix quite a number of breaking bugs as well. I originally was motivated to do this for my own players but unfortunately don’t feel welcome to bubble the contributions back up. Pity really, but this is now a hard fork from tes3mp (although I plan to open the fork at some point with a new project name).
So, 0 and 160um thickness change, or around two human hairs thicker.

And 160g and 150g weight change, or one iPhone mini heavier. One iPhone Pro Max heavier for the for "max" version.

Personally, I don't think I would notice.
I started editing and producing video content of my own first... It's very cool being able to make a tune from scratch and then put visuals I made/picked on top of them.

I regularly share my edit work on film communities and on social media sites like Stage32 and among my network of industry friends in the film industry. When they come across things that strike a pulse in their current projects they usually get in touch and ask me to send them a free copy...

If they ask for custom/specialized music for their projects then that usually cost a little bit. Most of my work is towards building a future of work in the industry, and towards building a diverse catalogue of music, while still staying true to what I like most. :)

I recommend avoiding the online licensing sites, they really don't do anything but de-value the potential for proper payment on your work, and most of the time they file you in a back room.

Ultimately directors and producers pick music they like, and whatever fits the mood in their opinion, releasing music effectively and properly and building a following outside of looking for work helps to increase new licensing potential in film work.
Jim Sterling has an… interesting… solution to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYinPJTxBNU#t=24s
In addition to =0 mentioned elsethread, there is also =default which will force the generation of a default function that would be otherwise suporesed.

You can use =delete to delete any overload of a function, be it class member or namespace scope.

Languages evolve; =delete and default were added to get rid if a bunch of common hacks and the language is better for that (at least for delete, default has a bunch of pitfalls of its own unfortunately).
It is NOT irrelevant.

Many doctors either do not see or see limited numbers of patients on medicare. This means that wait time is longer for these folks.

You are arguing real hard/loud, but it doesn't sound like you have talked to actual doctors about the issue.
Don't get me wrong, I'm on that camp myself, I have a Dell XPS with 2 usb-c and my LG monitor is my dongle when at home and I love it. And if I were the traveling consultant type I would just use a dongle, until everything is usb-c. I was totally on Apple side also when they removed the dvd drive when optical disks where still being used widely. It was the right tradeoff to have slimmer laptops.

I was just being snarky at the Apple fanbase that cheers every Apple decision, no matter what. Especially when Apple itself backpedals on something.
True. At a conference, I should have all my dongles with me. But I don't in a random conference room--not that I've spent much time in my local office for years.
Ah, thanks for the tip. It will probably not change much for the project I currently work on, with tests using react-testing-library, so JSDOM is required in nearly all test files.

But at least now I know :D
It would be odd for me if "Max" were not the "maximum".
Honestly a MacOS "Pro Mode" would be great. Let me run the apps I want, not use my mouse, and be able to break things, but keep the non-power user experience smooth and easy.
bumped up RAM limit but the RAM price is now more than triple the consumer price Top-Tier 32GB RAM costs 150€ and the Apple 32GB RAM costs 460€.
Most of us prefer to live inside a game. The rules of the game are what we call "truth".

Truth is nice because it's simple. No thinking about it required. No energy spent puzzling. It's just truth. No how, why, who or anything about it. It's just truth.

The best truths are gotten from authorities. They're the best because the truth comes preformatted in statement form. Thus it's ez to consume. And the truth clicks nicely into your fantasy like a lego into a bunch of other legos.
It doesn't seem to a bug though? Just that SME with IOMMU disabled doesn't play well with GPU drivers.
Yeah, as a mac user, I could not believe it,

I sold my pro (2015)
Bought a pro (2019) with 4 usb-c, even I missed the megasafe.

Now they changed back to 2015, feel cheated by Apple :(
List of Database Benchmark
In a similar boat re: chargers. It's fantastic being able to grab any ol' USB-C charger (of sufficient power) and charge just about any modern laptop short of maybe the beefier gaming laptops / portable workstations (I haven't tried charging my Dell G5 via USB-C, for example, so maybe it'd work, but I ain't betting on it).
For whatever reason, I always seem to hit a mental speed-bump when someone mentions "the truth."

The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (the SEP) has a long article [1] on the subject of Truth. There are multiple competing claims as to what is meant when we say that something is true.

I was having a vision last night of a server rack filled with iPad Pros /w Ethernet through the USB-C. I still wonder what the performance per mm^3 would be in comparison to a traditional server.
Sure, but you can definitely lose a lot of money, give up, and watch the asset crash a few weeks after you called it.
Before all the touchbar and butterfly keyboard nonsense, MacBooks were the best laptops on the market, hands down. It looks like they may have reclaimed that spot with this update. I'd argue worth the premium if that is the case.
I think this is kind of a reductive, attention-grabbing headline. The real intention is "stop equating 'the scientific process' with 'the entire body of knowledge that has ever been produced by people calling themselves scientists'".

The body of knowledge produced by scientists includes real truths, but also a lot of work produced by people without good methodology, and a lot of things that were thought to be correct at the time but were later disproved. And as the author mentioned, none of this is exempt from whatever society-level base assumptions were thought to be indisputable at the time.

For all that, the scientific process, while imperfect in many ways, is still the best way the human race has so far discovered to learn and advance. You could say that the pursuit of science is, by definition, the pursuit of truth.
is HFT really measured by assembly op-level performance? I'd assume the algorithms efficiency is a magnitude more crucial than branch-stuff optimization and the likes. better hardware, better parallelism. lots of ground to cover before LIKELY/UNLIKELY macros are likely (lol) to contribute. at least to my educated (but unfamiliar with HFT) experience.
Something Wicked This Way Comes. Perhaps Dandelion Wine.
Very impressive quirky company.

In 2013-2014 they found smart ways to be a non valley company (recruiting in UP Michigan). Really bold CEO!
On the contrary this is exactly what I want to see from executives regardless of their political leanings. If they believe that something is a clear and direct threat to the business that they’re charged with running, they should have a fiduciary duty to speak up on it in whatever means they have available.

Following that those receiving the message can decide to continue to support the business or not. But I’d rather have that than the weasel word non answers approach that many execs take.
Right, look at your total tax bill.
dear god. of course they have an app. will update! thanks michael :)
I'm thinking with that much bandwidth, maybe they will roll out SVE2 with vlen=512/1024 for future M series.

AVX512 suffers from bandwidth on desktop. But now the bandwidth is just huge and SVE2 is naturally scalable. Sounds like free lunch?
$100 would not cause the problems your positing, it would cause other problems. It would create a massive disruption in pricing and pay rates. That argument is dead stupid. I'm not sure why you're doubling down on it.

Economists are not proposing massive changes, because economics is mostly about justifying current systems and getting paid by the wealthy.
I have one of these, and it works fine except when it gets jostled and all my peripherals are disconnected.

Also it’s not powered (those are closer to $200), which means it can’t charge my iPhone or anything else.
It seems like they will rather shredded perfectly good parts than to let thirt party repair shops use them to help people at sane prices:

Just some genuine honest curiosity here; how many workloads actually require 64gb of ram? For instance, I'm an amateur in the music production scene, and I know that sampling heavy work
flows benefit from being able to load more audio clips fully into RAM rather than streaming them from disk. But 64g seems a tad overkill even for that.

I guess for me I would prefer an emphasis on speed/bandwidth rather than size, but I'm also aware there are workloads that I'm completely ignorant of.
You joke but the new Ferrari Roma has touch buttons on the steering wheel and the UX has been widely panned.
Yeah, once you do have to scale a relational database you're in for a world of pain. Band-aid after band-aid... I very much prefer to just start with Kafka already. At the very least you'll have a buffer to help you gain some time when the database struggles.
This is more meant for providers. Best example being AWS's serverless offerings, as well as fly.io.

Isn't the actual macbook pro always like $1800 or more? It's been confusing since they were selling two different computers both called the macbook pro for so long, but the workhouse with dual fans was always this much and that wouldn't even get you the RAM bumped up to 16" specs iirc.
Actually, you should talk to a couple of them, because each will have their own version of the absolute, obvious truth (and a long list of reasons why everyone else is wrong and dumb) and then you can just pick the truth you like the most.
