I really doubt that Apple would have gone out of their way to invent their own power profiles for the 16-inch MacBook Pro if one didn't already exist.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro certainly doesn't need 140 W to run. The Intel i9 MacBook Pro comes with a "measly" 96 W charger and it tops up just fine. The 140 W is there for fast charging and if they had to stick to 100 W, they could've made a professional machine just fine. It's not like the most common complaint about the MacBooks between 2016 and 2021 was "it charges up too slow".
Should be fine to compare to an EPYC 72F3 or 73F3 (Zen3, 8/16 cores, 8 channel DDR4-3200 RDIMM (204.8 GB/s theoretical ceiling), $2500/$3500).

If memory latency is that important, one would AFAIK have to compare to Zen3 Threadripper, because EPYC (and afaik Threadripper Pro, the other 8-channel variant of Zen3) is rather locked down in regards to memory "overclock"s.

(Note that this is more of a latency/efficiency tradeoff, an any moderate OC is trivial to cool.)
In New York's Natural History museum I found a small exhibit devoted to the effect of Toxoplasmosis on humans. The studies reported identified being untidy and poor driving skills can be caused by TG presence in the body. You could retrofit this evidence to this paper's claim it would seem.
What? Redux doesn't do any performance optimizations.
It took me a while to find the statement of the theorem. For other readers like me, starting at page 5 might help.

Well before acceptable risk became a dirty word during the covid pandemic, we used to argue as a society as to how much risk in our daily life we are willing to tolerate.

Now zero is the only acceptable answer to many
If I had to choose between an SD card slot and a USB-A port, I definitely would have chosen a USB-A port. I would take both, if possible. I would even give up a USB-C port for a USB-A port, but that might be a little backward-thinking. The USB-A to USB-C adapter is small and inexpensive, but it is still something I will need, mainly for the occasional flash drive.
Another +1 from me for the CalDigit TS3+ dock. I've been using it for about 1 1/2 years now with dual 4K UHD @ 60Hz displays, and haven't had any issues whatsoever. I also use it for a wired network connection and several USB peripherals at the same time. I really appreciate its layout where most ports are rear-facing so that you don't have cables on your desk coming out towards you and then looping back. The additional front-facing ports are great for popping in the occasional flash drive when needed. For some people the 87W output may not be enough, but it's never been a problem for me.
I see an analogy: Macron has been courting Sudanese military, just like he did with Libya, and Egypy with Sisi.

In both of them, it was revealed French involvement spanned far more than just feeding intel to the renegades: see my other post.
Yes I read everything. There is no concrete information or tests about thermal or power limit throttling.
I really wonder if the pretty sudden prevalence of noise canceling tech in consumer headphones and earbuds is going to have a material impact on pedestrian safety.

I think of myself as being a pretty alert pedestrian, but I had two “too close for comfort” calls while walking where my inability to hear what was happening around me (thanks to my amazing and much beloved 2nd generation AirPods) put me in danger that would have otherwise been easy to avoid. I wear them in transparency mode when I’m walking anywhere near traffic now.
I'm not saying that memory unsafety is useless or even undesirable, I think the "problem" is that it's the default in "current popular and actually used high-performance languages", which means that stuff that needs to be fast and secure (like web browsers) have a hard time.

Maybe my "most of the time" was too strong and I ignored big domains that I don't know. But for the part that I relatively know (web stuff mostly), safety and speed together matters a lot. The thing is, since unsafety tends to be viral (an unsafe part of your stack can compromise everything), people get very paranoid about "unsafe languages".

Warp and axum are certainly not the only choices, and saying they are the best choices is a matter of opinion. Actix-web, rocket, tide, warp, axum are all great web frameworks.

> But then I saw all these comments about how it was horrible and a deal breaker [...] I thought either everyone had lost their collective mind, or I was missing something

I think people dialled the outrage back again when they realised the area below the notch is a full 16:10 display—i.e. they added display where bezel used to be, rather than cutting into the display area.
I tried multiple power supplies. I even tried bench power supplies and overvolting them. Nothing worked. It fails for the same reason power strips fail if you plug too much into them. The Pi needs ~110% of what the input can even supply (that's ignoring the spec that says it should be 2.5 amps) and anything plugged in down-stream will need to take pieces out of that.

>Pi 4 has 2 HDMI outputs!

Two full-sized HDMI ports could fit on the board. At least, I could fit them. I question the competency of all the engineers working there.

>Most likely your power adaptor would not be able to maintain stable voltage when your lights flickered.

No. It was due to the wifi/bluetooth tranceiver not being potted and it would hard-reset if disturbed too much by the photoelectric effect.

>Anyway, have been running ...

Anecdotal evidence. They are built like absolute trash and it's a miracle anybody says they work for any reason.

Wake me up when someone makes one with ECC ram. I will not entertain using one unless it does.
Pedestrian fatalities have increased by over 50% since 2010. Clearly whatever policies politicians are pushing aren’t working. Might the regulatory capture of the car and Highway industries have anything to do about it?
Yes it does. Because the light bending by the Sun (predicted and measured in early 20th century) is bending of
electromagnetic waves.
I tend to agree with you. I too have spent time doing amateur digital and film. I started shooting on 110mm cameras when I was < 10, and those photos were bad!. By 13 I'd graduated to a low-end SLR and learned to use it properly. I shot on that all through high school and college. I was recently looking at some of my old photos, and I'm very pleased to have good photos from those youthful years, whereas my friends only have the crummy photos the author describes. I've gotten back into film, developing it at home, and having fun pushing the limits of the medium. It's a true pleasure.

Film can take _great_ photos! But my takeaway from the article was that before the ubiquity of smart phones with great cameras packed full of auto-adjusting technology, the number of people able to take advantage of film was low. That is, the signal to noise ratio was low, whereas now it is high. Most people back then used disposable cameras, or fixed focus point-and-shoot ~ and they couldn't be bothered to invest in an SLR and learn the basics of photography (exposure, etc...). As a result, lots and lots of truly awful photos were taken.

Edit: I noticed that the articles title "Photos are too flattering now" is not as same as the <title> tag, which is "The Internet Killed Bad Photos". I think that photos are not too/excesively flattering, and I think it was improved cameras that killed bad photos, not the internet. A better title would be "The ubiquity of high-quality entry-level cameras has dramatically improved photo quality amongst the general population." ~ a far less sexy title.
Thanks for correcting my error.

I've never checked core before, so I did when checking up for this discussion.

Then perhaps a no left turn sign?
Or just forbid left-turns there, and allow for u-turns at the next intersection (like a Michigan left).
The higher end options are really only for intense video encoding, like if you're working on a movie (I wonder how many people choose macbooks that task). The basic option should be more than fast enough for running displays.

> So I'm curious to know how an X64 chip would perform if we even the playing field not just in node size but also if Intel and AMD would adapt their X64 designs from the ground up with a memory controller, cache architecture and instruction pipeline tuned for that kind of fast RAM.

We can get a pretty good idea about this by looking at Threadripper, which has more memory channels:

https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2842?vs=2666

(This is Zen 2 Ryzen vs. Zen 2 Threadripper because Zen 3 Threadripper isn't out yet.)

In nearly everything it's about the same, because most workloads aren't memory bandwidth limited. But then you get into the multi-threaded SPEC tests where the M1 Max is doing really well, and Threadripper does really well. And this is still with less memory bandwidth than the M1 Max because it's using DDR4 instead of LPDDR5.

The lesson here is that memory bandwidth limited workloads are limited by memory bandwidth.
Sure there is. I can use gold for instance to manufacture bitcoin miners. This means gold has an intrinsic value. Can that value change over time? Sure. However, today, right now, I can't do anything with a bitcoin except pay to move it to a different wallet - and stare at it.

I can take gold and turn it into electronics, jewelry and so on. I can do things with it beyond looking at it. What that's worth is subject to market value, but intrinsic value is a math-based derivation of the present value of an asset based on its attributes and qualities (and their utility and marketability), not calculated from what the market will bear for its direct transaction.

Not that I'm advocating gold, I'm just using it as an example.

The economic benefit exceeds the human loss of life.

Of course no economist SAYS that because one of the big lies economics runs away from is that the value/cost of a random human death is about the same as the value of, say, paving over a swamp estuary or, say, the ocean becoming acidic to the point we lose photoplankton and will kill off all aerobic creatures in the world.

If economics can't properly value something that doesn't impact the budget/spreadsheet within a couple months, it pretends it doesn't exist and has zero cost.

Heck, proper economics will happily assign negative value to humans. Old? Sick? Debilitated? It's GOOD that person died! But economists don't talk about those things, and don't even study them, well, not publicly. Because it would destroy economics as a serious discipline.
Right now that would also likely require a 12v rail, which this board's power circuit doesn't supply (it wouldn't be able to pull that much anyways, off the 3A max PSU).

A future version should include it though, and would accommodate larger drives (both 2.5 and 3.5").
Huge advocate. Makes life easier for screen readers too.
It said right there on the box: made in China, assembled in California, and has been that way for 10 year-ish

Specifically this phenomena is called gravitational lensing and it's incredibly cool.
Can you provide a link to such a system? I did a best-efforts search and failed to turn up anything.
I am a total layperson in this area but I think the GPS correction/frame dragging also incorporates relative motion where this (i think) is purely about gravitational field strength.

To your point, maybe, I wonder if they had to factor in the relative velocity difference of the top and bottom of the cloud due to the rotation of the earth at their latitude (or just do the experiment at the south pole). At the equator, assuming a cloud of 1mm diameter, it would be 2π mm/day, which according to a sloppy google search is 2.425675e-16c.

thunderfoot isnt the sum of my research. you just argued against buses in lieu of a solution 10x more expensive. its not about personal choice wanting to take a bus or not. its about economics. the loop currently costs more money then it takes to operate. i used to be an evangelist like you, but now i see it for what it is. hype and under delivery
All the stuff I used to do on a large and clunky hot power hungry noisy Intel box is now comfortably running on a cluster of Raspberry Pi's tucked away in the basement ceiling where nobody can see them. I wish they were a little faster in some cases (particularly serving the Nextcloud UI) but overall I much prefer this setup, especially since I can add Raspberry Pi's to facilitate specific roles like I would in a production data center deployment.

I've got a web server, a SAN, a couple pi-holes, and a home automation controller. I plan to spin out my databases and Prometheus onto their own Raspberry Pi's. All of them are configured using Ansible. I can recreate one in a hurry if it dies and data backed up to a ZFS partition on the SAN pi. I have a couple additional Raspberry Pi's that I temporarily hook up to the network and run a script to sync the latest ZFS snapshots over for backup purposes.

I'm sure you could find SOME use for them :)
Can you share a link? I wonder if it has to do with cities implementing more mixed-use roads

Alternatively, I wonder if it is attributable to increased smartphone use by pedestrians and or drivers.

Personally, I find operating the UI on phone navigation and audio players very cognitively taxing.
The country requirement is because having an employee in a different country is a big regulatory endeavor.

Plus if you're doing a lot of international traveling while being directly employed, you are probably breaking immigration law wherever you're going (you're not allowed to work on a tourist visa, even if its remotely).

FWIW, Apple pretty much writes the USB-C standard.
Ask HN: Longest (FAANG) Interview Process
Currently been interviewing at a FAANG-ish company, started in June.

The first two months were the actual interviews (multiple rounds of code challenges, arch reviews, culture fit, etc). The last two and a half months have all been HR and paperwork intensive in terms of getting the offer approved internally.

How long has it taken others to get through the process? This is by far the longest interview cycle I've ever had and was wondering whether waiting this long for an offer is acceptable, even for FAANG level jobs.
I wish I could figure out how to de-automate my bathroom light. It tends to wrongly notice that I've left the room leaving my in total darkness. My workaround is to leave the light on in the adjacent closet, which, for some reason has no such amenity. I doubt a lifetime of saved button pushes would ever make up for the inconvenience of troubleshooting this not-quite-smart-enough light system. But other people have different utility functions.
Is everything still glued together without being able to repair yourself? /s
I wasn't being flippant, that's the only reason I can think of that someone would end up utilizing Bitcoin to make this particular payment. If you have others I'm of course happy to hear you out but it's been 14 years and I haven't heard one...

Avoiding the law is a genuine and legitimate use case of Bitcoin not better served by the classic financial system.
I expect the lack of HDMI 2.1 is bandwidth related. Full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 is 48Gbps but Thunderbolt 4 is "only" 40.

I'm not sure if they still do, but at one point each pair of Thunderbolt ports shared a bus, so you could have something on the left running at 40Gbps and something on the right running at 40Gbps, but not two things on one side.

If that's still the case, the SD card slot and the HDMI port are probably sharing bandwidth with the one Thunderbolt port on that side of the machine.

Yea, I originally ordered an M1 Max model after the presentation, then cancelled it when I realized for what I would use a GPU for (gaming and 3D development) a RTX 3080 laptop would be a much better choice. I also don’t care about performance/watt as much since I use my iPad for non-work stuff.

But the technology nerd in me still wants to buy one for completely irrational reasons.
I disagree. I don’t purposefully keep A and C devices. I’m switching everything over to C and have dongles to do that.

Supporting both wastes the space for when I’ve moved to C.

I’m more likely to have an A->C dongle than an SD card reader.
This does not say anything about facebook the company and it's leadership and employee base yet, it just says something about the user base and who is most active and thus most influential to the automated algorithms on that platform.
They all start like that and then fan out into more customization both on the hardware and the software. According to the coreboot sources Starlabs now have their own open source EC firmware in addition to coreboot support which usually isn't part of the ODM package, either.

(No idea what they're doing on the hardware side, I just happened to review some Starlabs code today.)

Hey there, author here.

TLDR: We used Slack to create a backoffice solution for internal processes, both on the technical/orchestration side, as well as the nontechnical side. We've used reactions for approvals, channels for access control, etc. and it's been a huge success internally! That's why I wanted to share our experiences.

Have you taken the CISSP exam? Greater than 95% of the complaints I see on HN against certs generally and CISSP especially come from people who have never attempted them.

When I took it in 2010 it was 250 very large questions. You had 6 hours to complete the exam and it only had 60% pass rate despite a $700 fee and requiring an approved resume.

Also at all my major corporate employers there security teams. Almost never are those people red teams or blue teams. Almost all of them are policy people or operations people.

Technically, this includes the people who gave them the Bitcoin.

In fact I seem to recall being told that was rather the point.
> They slice and dice the org until the 30 people become split into teams of 2-3 with a manager for each, running into coordination hell on each step

This is the key mistake. Having teams of 2-3 with a manager each is way too many managers. If you have a clear focus, small teams are great because they can work autonomously, with little management and good results. You can't hire your way out of coordination hell.

I was at WhatsApp between 2011 and 2019; for the most part early on, we had essentially the CEO who does a mix of product management and engineering management and engineering, an actively engineering server manager (who also did some client work), and a client engineering manager. Android team grew enough to have an engineering manager and we also ended up with one product manager. Post aquisition, staff grew and so did management.

...Our roadways are designed for safety...

They are designed for the safety of the cars that use them. There is often nothing safe about how they are designed with respect to pedestrians (who are frequently ignored completely).

There are many things we could do to minimize accidents in specific circumstances. In residential zones, narrower, tree-lined roads tend to reduce average speed. Continuous sidewalks change the dynamic from "pedestrian crossing road" to "car crossing sidewalk".
Yeah this feels like a pyrrhic victory. Yes, we've gotten our ports back, but is this indicative of a trend that Apple is moving away from design? It's too soon to say but I'd argue that it's likely Apple will experience some regression to the mean. Considering that Apple's design is several orders of magnitude away from the mean, that'd be a loss.
