What if the loan is secured by $5 billion in assets from their current fleet?
So... some process that wasn't agile... that had no name, no principles... but it worked! Was this a singular process, that everyone just 'knew'? Or did every company have their own, that varied in principles and effectiveness. What if a group of people sat down and tried studying what worked and what didn't... say in the .. 2001 time frame, I wonder what they would come up with.
A decent desktop Linux distro needs to be created first though.
My collection at that time ('05-ish) was mp3, ogg, & flac, ~33% each. WinAMP was still king (and still is, dammit!) and could even manage my iPod Nano without needing to install itunes bloatware.

A statement like "Anyone with a moderately sized music collection depended entirely on iTunes" is ignorant to the point where I almost feel insulted.
Yeah, I should have added "efficiently" in there. And manufacturing has gotten a lot more complex since back then, not sure they could properly manage a modern supply chain with related electronics etc, without relying on the private sector to provide things. But we know both China and Soviet gave up trying to accomplish things without the private sector, so I'd assume they couldn't.
This of course has the subtle implication that it’s equally easy for x86 to go as wide as ARM, and it’s not.

Yes, it’s true that x86 often relaxes pitch, that doesn’t make up for a factor of 6 perf/watt difference like Anandtech measures.

Like I said, I guess we’ll see, Zen4 and A16 will be on the same node next year. By that time the goalpost will move to something else, like this “x86 isn’t designed for power efficiency” defense.
I am aware of wire cutters on helicopters, and yes, wire strike prevention with cutters would be useful, but that only solves one problem.

You are correct that a lot can be automated, but if there is anything that cannot be, humans have to be in the cockpit. And if humans have to be in the cockpit, then we actually don't want as much automation as possible. [1] See also [2].

The biggest problem I see with automating helicopter flight is that the hardest part of an autorotation is picking a spot to land. I don't think that can be automated. You would either have to have super high resolution radar pointed at the ground or high resolution computer vision that can identify flat spots which are as varied as the human race. I don't think either is feasible anytime soon. And that's without even considering the higher power draw they would require, as a sibling comment mentions.

Then you have to consider what happens in the case of full power outage, including no battery. In that case, you have effectively doomed the people onboard if there is not a real pilot.

> Essentially the government has built a surveillance state by outsourcing it to private enterprise.

Well, yes, that's essentially the whole point of silicon valley. The government and military fund the creation of startups that have tactical value. Those businesses become self-funding and improve the US economy, which also has military value since a robust economy is harder to attack. This has been explored in a few places, e.g. [0], [1].

But it's not like any of this was secret. The off-loading of government operations to private industry, combined with the lobbying for reduced regulations on private industry effectively gives the government carte blanche with the added bonus of plausible deniability.

Whether or not these trends are good has been debated for half a century in the US.

I don't blame you. I personally think that helicopters are inherently dangerous. The only reason I feel comfortable is because, until I will be able to handle one myself, I am flying with instructors who I trust completely.
On Facebook, articles that trend are those who received the most votes, shared by friends or family, or selected by by algorithms based on prior interests. Although truth/accuracy is said to be a goal, it's a "social network", not a "truth network" and is not a recognized purveyor of factual data.

On Wikipedia, reality is usually whatever some erstwhile editor can scrounge up that backs up their preferred narrative. As journalists overwhelmingly self-identity as liberal/progressive, it's trivial for a single, anonymous editor to shop around for MSM articles that back up the narrative. That, combined with WikiMedia actually hosting & funding "edit-thons" for progressive activist groups, it is no wonder why Wikipedia is viewed by many as having a liberal bent. Yet, it DOES hold itself as a trustworthy purveyor of factual information.

One of those seems a lot more democratic than the other, but it's the more democratic option that's usually used as the negative example.

Well if you ask me, Reddit is now mostly a small community of chosen people posting lead content, whilst everyone else watches and works for free in hope of earning a few imaginary points and reaching the now unobtainable (without paying in some form or fashion for it) front page anyway...

It's real easy to fake a user community with proper automation and a hand full admins nowadays in order to run a "revenue machine" social media community.

-Just a personal opinion, not fact (nor stated as such) though.
Yes. The rental companies typically buy more than this from the other automakers every year (and it never affects those stocks, lol).
> advertisers keep spending the same amount (or more) even though they have less info because of less tracking of Apple users to correlate with dollars spent

Plot twist: You are the consumer, and ads are the product. Most of the data they got on you is garbage, and the algorithms they run on it have an unfalsifiable claim of usefulness.
I had a really great experience building an EAV store with Datalog as the query interface on top of SQLite for embedding in native mobile apps.

Pros: querying complex data hierarchies was easy, and was able to skip the pain typically associated with managing a SQL schema.
I'm pretty sure it's meant to include "not" with regard to the ethos of the entire article. (Ought to be fixed though.)
In addition, the rental car companies sold more of their fleet than typical during the pandemic to help ride-out the large decrease in business. As travel continues to pick up they need to replenish their fleets anyway. Finally it isn't a great time to be buying cars in general, so the penalty of buying a Tesla vs another car is lower now than it typically would be.
A friend of mine once ran the Ansible equivalent of terraform destroy in our aws prod env in the middle of the day (of a fintech company). I could see how several if our prod machines got terminated. Fortunately the ones that mattered the most, had termination protection. But it was a scary moment.
In the Packer build you can have your provisioning script wait for the cloud-init to finish because you're not delaying a production scaleout; you've got all the time in the world. It's true that this article still gets written, but I don't think OP was suggesting otherwise. Building fully baked images rather than installing things on production startup avoids all sorts of flakiness.

Incidentally the author's suggestions are not that good, and not what I would suggest. He should be waiting for cloud-init to finish, not just apt:

cloud-init status --wait

Before I knew about that, I used the following, which is still better than what the author suggests:

while [ ! -f /var/lib/cloud/instance/boot-finished ]; do echo 'Waiting for cloud-init...'; sleep 1; done

Other stuff happens in cloud-init besides locking apt for awhile, and these will wait for all of it to finish.
Exactly, the second Facebook publishes a new API, no matter how many permission dialogues you have to jump through, the NYT will be champing at the bit to write another "data sharing agreement" story.

They love to take the most bad-faith reading of the API docs to say that Facebook is giving your data away (see their story about netflix/messenger, or Microsoft's Facebook client for Windows phones)
> If the interviewee has never worked with a database which would fit in the memory of the machine, and if the company only deals with such databases, then it is clear that it was not a good fit.

Why? That's not clear at all to me. Most of the job is the same, and the parts that are different are themselves mostly removing steps that aren't needed at a smaller scale.
It's weird that there is no tier that offers everything from the Standard tier (case, fan, display, power supply etc.) minus CM4. I'd rather trade Wi-Fi capability for more eMMC storage, considering this thing will likely sit right next to my router anyway.

Hmm? Perf/watt isn’t the same thing as task energy, it sounds like you’re the one confused here. As I said, task energy (which is what’s measured in the OP) heavily favors “getting it done quicker” as well as this task being embarrassingly parallel such that the 3990WX can get all 128 threads into play. It’s basically a “race to sleep” benchmark not a perf/watt benchmark with processors that are that disparate.

For a task energy test - which is not the same thing as a perf/watt test - this is completely loading the dice in favor of x86 and M1 still manages to match it. That is an extremely good result for putting a laptop chip against a top of the line HEDT processor in a test that is normally all about race to sleep.

> An yet you're claiming Apple has a 3-6x power efficiency advantage.

I’m not the one claiming anything, if you disagree with Anandtech’s numbers go take it up with them. The numbers don’t change just because you find them uncomfortable.

> In multi-threaded tests, the 11980HK is clearly allowed to go to much higher power levels than the M1 Max, reaching package power levels of 80W, for 105-110W active wall power, significantly more than what the MacBook Pro here is drawing. The performance levels of the M1 Max are significantly higher than the Intel chip here, due to the much better scalability of the cores. The perf/W differences here are 4-6x in favour of the M1 Max, all whilst posting significantly better performance, meaning the perf/W at ISO-perf would be even higher than this.

> In the SPECfp suite, the M1 Max is in its own category of silicon with no comparison in the market. It completely demolishes any laptop contender, showcasing 2.2x performance of the second-best laptop chip. The M1 Max even manages to outperform the 16-core 5950X – a chip whose package power is at 142W, with rest of system even quite above that. It’s an absolutely absurd comparison and a situation we haven’t seen the likes of.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/17024/apple-m1-max-performanc...

And again, that’s with it running at half the clock and half the threads of its laptop peers, so IPC is something like 8x higher in those scenarios.

That is not the kind of gap you close up with a node shrink or tightening pitches a bit. Hackernews experts know best though.

Next year Zen4 and A16 will be on the same node, and then it’ll be another excuse for why x86 is still getting dumpstered. Just keep the goalposts on wheels, you’ll need it.
Some young people get heart damage from covid. Where the blood doesn't circulate properly afterwards and stays stuck in the heart where it can harden. For the unlucky a serous heart issue brought by covid could shorten life span by decades

Some people still have not had their sense of smell or brain fog clear. People who experience these side effects have their brain literally shrink in size. These symptoms are real. Whether these symptoms lead to early death is speculation. But the calling them not real is as much denial as saying Covid itself is not real.

In fact, the media firestorm and the political response made heroin overdoses much worse because they "clamped down" on pills that at least had a dosage on it. Addicts then turned to heroin, which now has fentanyl in it.

>It's probably the most inefficient teaching method ever devised.

And yet people still give lectures, and Youtube tutorials have grown ubiquitous. Because regardless of how efficient uptake is, it's very efficient for the person doing the teaching.

And these old shows were very clearly presented as a jumping off point. I asked to go to the library all the time as a kid because Reading Rainbow and Mr. Rogers talked about how great the library was.

One of the indieweb approaches to feeds is to just structure the HTML sufficiently, and not have separate feed files. This works pretty well, and some feed readers work with it. Some info is at https://indieweb.org/h-entry
Unfortunately I've that you can't rely on the chargers being available at most hotels. In my experience they're frequently either ICE-ed (the charging spot is taken by a non-EV car), or there's already another car charging.
There are many who got kicked off Twitter/FB for purely political statements like sharing the Wuhan lab leak theory or Hunter Biden's laptop at the wrong time. Or maybe just a #LetsGoBrandon.

Just like there are many bad and good liberals on Twitter, there can be many bad and good conservatives on other platforms. That doesn't mean there isn't unjust censorship as well. Crying racism or misinformation won't cover it up for long.

I once had an CEO in Ontario throw a tantrum and demand I quit my new job over non-compete. A letter from a lawyer sent him scurrying back to his flopping business.

What bothers me about empty threats is that they intend to scare the ignorant or unequipped into compliance. Any sort of non-compete ban needs to have teeth and people need to be educated on their rights, or it’s just a waste of time.

The answer is and has always been to emphasize user equality and to hold each user individually responsible for their actions.

Reddit screwed up all it's integrity when it stopped showing downvote stats in addition to upvote counts.. They needed brigading and skewed voting to allow sponsored posts, celebrity and popularity, and promoted ideals to be artificially promoted as favorable by a majority.

Faked/limited stats, limited controls, and misleading numbers are trademark characteristics of an artificially skewed or profit-biased platform these days.

> They're not getting kicked off of twitter and facebook for being conservative, they're getting kicked off for being extremely racist

It is worth noting that a lot of the people in this demographic self-identity as Conservatives, even though there is nothing particularly conservative about their opinions and agenda. At best, they're reactionaries, and rather radical ones at that.

But the GOP does like their Big Tent strategy, and will continue to make such folks welcome (or at least their votes) as long as it continues to work.
One of my laptops is a Dell Precision 7760. Xeon W-11855M, NVIDIA RTX, 128GB ECC RAM. I don't need too much storage, but you can get it with 14TB if you want. Note mine is a 6-core. There is an 8-core available w/ the Xeon W-11955M, which is faster than mine.

It's only a little thicker than the macbook pro. It's keyboard doesn't break, and the product line has had a 4k screen since 5 years ago. It's 120Hz refresh rate. It has a very large power brick - 240W, it gets hot and loud with a huge fan exhaust. It's thick metal and about 7-9lb - you can run over it with a car. It only gets 9 hours battery w/ regular usage, and about 3 hours of "fan on time." Keep in mind, with the large and loud fan on, it can stay at 5GHz. This is called a pro laptop - a workstation. When I travel, I bring a 65W PSU, and it runs fine on that, just w/o turbo boost.

No, don't point to the lower "geekbench" score for this laptop - that's not a CPU test. GPU performance is a large part of that test, and they run the test on the default GPU. The M1 only has a single GPU. The Precision's default is the low power integrated graphics, not the discreet GPU. If you have a test where they assign the discreet GPU, please feel free to point it out.

As I've discussed before here, I have a shell script that runs in parallel with a bunch of VMs. My coworkers air (yes, I know it's not the max) runs it in 8-10 hours overnight. I run it over lunch. It loads, does calculations on, and creates graphs from several gig of ascii performance data.

What does compare in performance to the M1 air is my Latitude w/ the I7 in it. The M1 "max" is "max for apple" but competes with mid-tier laptops from everyone else. And that's ignoring the fact that it can't run pretty much any of the useful industry tools or games w/o recompiling x86 to arm on the fly.

Yes, I think my Dell cost the company $7-8k, without support. That's why it's called a pro laptop.

Coasting is way more efficient than regenerative braking slowing your roll, causing you to need to accelerate again.

Hence why many non-car electrified rides disable Regen braking in Eco mode when your not accelerating or braking as keeping that mechanical energy & momentum is much more efficient than paying the conversion penalty to turn it back into electricity.
Opioids are over prescribed in the US and that is only now starting to changed.

How would you do a range query "well", then? With filtering on your own server definitely not being "well".
Exactly. When you are running late to get to the airport, stopping to charge your Tesla is a bigger delay than stopping to gas up a car, so this will likely give them even more people they can gouge.

And having a charger at the hotel you stay out won't be enough considering how many times I have filled up the tank the night before, but they could still tell that I used gas just driving from the hotel to the airport.
