A lot of good it does them. MacOS is an incredibly poor performing OS. For years, Windows and especially Linux have been more responsive and load faster than macOS on similar hardware, despite not being in a vertically-integrated hardware/software system.

It's difficult to imagine how anyone can think that M1 is "competing" with Intel or AMD because of this. You won't be getting macOS on any new x86 processor, and you won't be getting Windows on an M1.

For the vast majority of people, M1 provides no meaningful decision point. It's not like I'm going to stop using Linux on my servers, pull out of the cloud, and build a closet full of M1 Mac Minis. I could write my day job software from a Mac, but again, I'm not really getting much of a benefit from that because of the rest of the issues with the OS. And gaming is a no-go. So what is the point?
Assuming a 100-watt battery and/or a 3.5-pound weight restriction, how many hours of battery life would you get from an Alder Lake laptop in those rendering tasks, in comparison to the M1 MAX laptop?

How many pounds of battery would an Alder Lake laptop required to match the uptime of the M1 MAX laptop performing those rendering tasks?

My mental napkin math suggests extremely unfavorable answers for an Alder Lake laptop, to the degree that the laptop's viability in the market would be severely compromised by sustaining the power and cooling required by Alder Lake for long-duration workloads such as rendering.
I guess you missed the news that they're expanding it?

iPadOS 15 handles full screen apps so much better than macOS. I hope Apple eventually ports the iPads full screen multitasking model to the Mac (while also keeping regular windowed multitasking, of course)

It’s interesting that Hertz’s CEO is the former Ford CEO
20 yrs old with six months experience and a bootcamp certificate sends a few signals. You don't have much experience, but you are eager and motivated. Your age also communicates that you are likely single without children, no mortgage or big external commitments, so likely to work 12+ hrs/day six days a week for free pizza and beer. You are probably going to do what you're told and not rock the boat (for a while anyway). If they have you on an H1-B you have a big incentive not to make a fuss.

Part of the reason companies prefer to hire younger people is their energy and enthusiasm, but another part (that they can't and won't spell out) is that older people have families and commitments and may want to actually have a work-life balance and not just hear about the company's "committment" in some HR feel-good speech.

Youth is definitely more a plus than a minus in SF/Silicon Valley but you need the experience, some solid accomplishments you can point to. Or you need good contacts that can tell you about the unadvertised jobs (which are most of the available jobs) and get you in the side door.
out of curiosity, what do your sets normally look like? I generally just do a 500m sprint before moving onto other workouts, but I’m pretty spent and need to recoup for a while afterwards. Do you have recommendations for building up endurance?
I am "not a genius, but not dumb either" much like Jack. But for one reason or the other I seem to have an aptitude for this whole programming thing, and technical stuff in general. Is that "talent"? I guess it's not "talent" in the wunderkind sort-of way, but it is "talent" in the sense of "a decent aptitude allowing me to perform better at these kind of tasks than average in the general population".

I was never addicted to drugs, but for the first ~25 years I struggled in life in much the same way. No education, no real job, no real direction, future, or perspective, no real friends, no girlfriend, what's the point? I suppose my situation wasn't quite as hopeless, or maybe I'm just a different person, and it probably also helps that drugs usually just make me feel weird in a bad way and never enjoyed it much.

Plus, I never stopped programming, or lost my interest in it. It just took a long time to scrape together the confidence to actually apply for jobs. For a time I was either jobless and programming stuff at home, or working minimal wage jobs and programming after work. At one place I managed to "hack" the computer used to scan barcodes and during night-shifts (with often hours of nothing to do) I would write some toy programs to pass the time (more fun than smoking weed outside like some of the other people were doing). I sometimes wonder what would have become of me if I hadn't learned programming as a young teenager, or had lost interest somewhere along the way.

Either way, we'll likely never know what "talent" Jack did or did not posses as he never really seems to have developed any due to a combination of his personality, environment, and just "bad luck". Even the most talented and gifted programmers I know don't "just" do it automatically; they still need to apply themselves and develop their talent. For all you know you might have it in you to be a word-class guitar player, actor, soccer star, or some such. But if you've never played guitar, acted, played football, etc. and developed this talent then you'll never know.
This is correct. You coast by feathering the accelerator.
The point is that a laptop Xeon from 2021 is also going to be the same as an 1185G7 or something similar - because they’re the same silicon. It’s not like you’re getting more silicon because it’s a Xeon, it’s not a server chip, it’s just a laptop chip with the enterprise features enabled.

So, really no need to test them specifically. Go get an 1185G7 or something and you know what “Mobile Xeon” benches will look like. Anandtech already did those benches.

I tried to use couchdb with pouchdb. It was a mess to add the proper authentication layer over it and the fact that even the couchdb team has changed their opinions on the right way to do it was not impressive.

I love RxDB with Hasura behind it. It's incredible and you get a great postgres front end to boot.

Not sure what to do with turnips, but let's fix this radish situation right now.

Radishes are awesome! I like to eat them raw with just a bit of salt, but for a general cooking frame of reference, you can use radishes anywhere you would use a cucumber.

Here's some salads I like to make with radishes:

========================
= default radish salad =
========================
* radishes (thin round slices)
* chopped scallions
* dill (a lot)
* salt
* pepper
* olive oil
* chopped fresh parsley (optional)

From here you have a few options:
1. just add some vinegar and/or a bit of lemon
2. for a tzatziki-like route, use lemon, garlic and greek yogurt. Cucumbers are totally optional here (the salad becomes more watery).

========================
= poor-man's cole slaw =
========================
* cole slaw without the mayo
* add thinly sliced radishes

=======================================
= tomato salad loaded with vegetables =
=======================================
* thick sliced tomatoes (1/2 inch cubes or pyramid-like shape)
* onions
* sliced cucumbers
* diced red bell pepper
* thinly sliced or diced radishes
* olive oil
* salt
* pepper
* half a dozen kalamata/black olives
* greek feta sliced into 1 inch cubes
* chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Dip sourdough bread into the tomato juice at the bottom to get to heaven.
Yes. Her mindset, which is a product of her environment, prevented her from concentrating on her chemistry exam:

"I took an inorganic chemistry exam the same day that a grand jury failed to charge two police officers with the murder of Breonna Taylor. That day, my body inhaled molecules of white supremacy as they seeped out of my computer from that proctored Zoom room. They entered my bloodstream and catalyzed a metabolism that would allow for the invasion of my body by a violently infectious life form. A chronic pain, caused by the perpetuation of lethally unjust practices and compounded by the silence and avoidance between myself and my educators when it comes to Black women’s lives, would make its way through and onto neighboring cells within my physical being. "
A very common example of this is people suggesting to remove private profits from the modern economy. It seems like a really good way to cut down waste and save costs in theory, but it never worked in practice if you do it for the whole economy. It does work really well for some problems, but for many others those private profits seems to be a necessary evil for the system to work well.

What those people are missing is that private profits is a really good instrument for allocating resources and performing quality control efficiently in many sectors. Removing those means you now need to manage all those resource allocations and quality controls via other means, and so far we haven't found anything better for most business to business supply chains.

Governments often do well in the business to consumer space though, as in many cases cutting costs there means consumers gets worse service. But in the business to business step both sides wants to push costs to each other, so they negotiate on who should do what to make both earn money, or they will go and do business with someone else.
The Noam Chomsky of IT
I'm shocked about latest revelations on Google (and Facebook, ...) power to shape the world and I need help understanding how we've got to this point (and possibly the way out).

I feel everything sound so complicated while it could be easily understood with the help of somebody like Noam Chomsky writing on IT and geopolitics.

Any suggestion on what to read?

For one thing, your own source shows that tomatoes are a rich source of many different vitamins, minerals, and fiber. But furthermore, this treatment of nutrition is a little reductive. You could eat highly processed food that is formulated to deliver the desired daily value of major nutrients, yet it would fail to deliver the same benefits as a simple diet of fruit, vegetables, small fatty fish, and nuts - even if the latter isn't optimized for nutrients. Why is this? We don't seem to know enough to answer at this time, but it appears food is more complex than a tabulation of various nutrients.

So does this mean we should be trucking tomatoes long distance? Not at all. People should eat whatever fresh produce grows locally, and supplement with canned or fermented foods that capture the benefits of faraway and out-of-season crops without the downside of wastage and shelf-life optimization.
I mean, VLIW is fantastic as long as you have very predictable workloads with high parallelism and little branching that are very easily statically scheduled.

If you want to design a DSP or something, where you know it’ll be 100% saturated all the time with an absolutely predictable workload, it’s extremely efficient. Same for AMD Terascale GPUs back in the days before async compute and other GPGPU style tasks took over.

Adblocking feels like a protection racket. Letting ads through seems to be part of the business model, and it's been going on for over half a decade. It's likely they let some slip by for a cut of the ad profits, but just enough to keep people using it. Maybe they're getting greedy and letting more through.
Now let a ML algorithm interpret this comment. Is it positive, negative, or sarcastic? I bet that a lot of humans wouldn't be able to tell the tone of this comment.
I lost a PM job once because a new-hire junior admin deleted a symlink and took a major site down... The CEO who fired me was upset that I couldn't restore the massive database and run a diff on it versus a local backup I made out of being overly cautious the day prior.

I was supposed to just be a PM, not even supposed to be a Dev... Served me right for acting like I might have been able to fix the issue. No more volunteering outside of my role... Possibly also why job descriptions include so much out of normal scope "responsibility" now.

The company had a bad habit of underpaying roles, and regularly hired inexperienced admins to do key PROD work for clients.

I was also blacklisted for rehire from the company and took the fall I guess when the issue was explained to the clients.

Oh well.. Spilled milk... The company kept failing after I left and lost all it's major contracts weeks after I got cut anyway. I got a decent severance payout and still won a 25% raise on my next gig... Moved forward without scratches.

Lessons -

Back everything up well, no matter how much time it takes, before touching PROD or even before others touch PROD.

Don't work for places that are regularly dedicated to underpaying talent to do mission critical work.

When a door closes, another opens, learn from the past, but don't carry it forward, and don't fight ignorant and tech-blind arrogance in leadership, it only hinders your career growth if you crusade against bad leadership. Karma does the real work for you eventually if you remain calm & composed.

Quickly identify if tech talent and problem solving stops at your level, and if so, protect yourself from being a scapegoat for leadership failures.

Don't be the one that screws things up, be the one that both anticipates and quickly and fixes all varieties of screw-ups from everyone else.

Almost every Blockbuster film you watch has raytracing done on the CPU. A lot of studios have dabbled with GPU pathtracing, and indeed it works for smaller projects like commercials and TV. However big set pieces just don't jive well with GPU rendering, and most GPU path tracers are too young to feature all the bells and whistles productions want.
Yeah, your quote is a bit unfair to x86 - after all the x86 architecture is hampered by having to maintain compatibility not only with the original 8086, but also with most other instruction set extensions that Intel and/or AMD came up with during the last 40 years. Compared to that, the M1 is almost a "clean sheet" design. So, while still a great achievement, its dramatically better efficiency is not that surprising. I wonder however if Apple leading the way will also enable the PC (Windows/Linux) platform to leave its x86 past behind. Microsoft has been trying to sell ARM-based tablets for years, but without a lot of success, because there's not enough native software available.
In this case though seems like there’s plenty of consumers harmed? Here it would be the ad buyers and sellers who cannot use other exchanges and end up paying more or receiving less than they could in a fairer market with the bidding system Google and Facebook colluded to quash.
What is that supposed to mean? If you have a car that is worth $1000 but you can only sell less than 1% of it at this price, is the car really worth $1000. The answer is no. If you sell the car, not just a small fraction of it, you will get considerably less than $1000, therefore the car not worth $1000.
I'd like to have seen the world where this actually came out. I think more than a few of the MS-DOS users of that era might've migrated to that.

It probably could have convinced my father and I to switch, if implemented sufficiently well to allow a good upgrade path.

This is crazy. I am happy for Tesla, it's an amazing company. But a trillion dollars seems a bit too much.

Right. That's what a pro laptop is. 128G of ECC RAM so you don't get crashes and errors. 24MB of cache. Fast and solid. That's a workstation - we use those for work.

But... Now you're saying the xeon I listed is the same as a 1 year old CPU, with half the cache of the Xeon, a lower clock, and half the core count. The mental gymnastics you have to perform are funny as hell to watch. Trump voter?
I have Adobe's stuff mostly neutered on my Windows installation. No Adobe stuff is running unless I open an application. The worst is that Photoshop leaves a bunch of random crap running after closing and I have to manually kill each process.
No FSD, they are paying $42k per Model 3 which is “nicely appointed” not base models. FSD would add $10k per vehicle. They can always buy FSD later (although price is expected to keep going up). But presumably they are locked to the $42k price now over the next 14 months even if Tesla keeps increasing the price.
I wonder how many people will use joke statuses. Hopefully they will add an "exclusion list" in the future.

edit: nvm, it just shows a generic status message for all people. it does not display the exact status to that person.
True, but some people don't care about that stuff.

I am new to rowing. However rowing is primarily a legs activity. You should only minimally be using your arms.

Slow down. A good pace is 2min/500m. Any faster and you will feel spent.

You can do intervals to build endurance: 30s fast work/90-120s slow and repeat 5 or more times. If that’s too much try 15s/60-90s. Build up from there.

The issue is that a company purchased by PE often has built up a positive image of their brand. Sea World probably has thousands of positive reviews online; by the time the online consensus catches up to the reality of the experience, it's very easy to be fooled. That's where the money is made: when costs are cut but the brand still has a positive perception.

PE doesn't have to change their tune; by the time consumers realize that the product has changed, the firm has already made their money.
You latched onto one word in my statement that's not relevant to the point. Whether it's unpronounceable or difficult to pronounce is not important to the point.

A regular physician (like a family doctor) works out better if they are close to home. A specialist is better (usually) when they are affiliated with a large or prestigious university.

Sometimes you can ask friends or family who they like, or who they think are good. Sometimes you roll the dice and try someone who seems appealing. If the first visit makes you uncertain or uncomfortable, do not go back -- find another. (I've got this story about a dentist who conducted dental torture on me once...)

Sometimes medical insurance dictates that you choose from a list. Choose a doctor close to home, give them a shot, and change if you don't feel like they can/will provide you with good care.

A good doctor can explain things. A good doctor can discuss uncertainties. A good doctor is always learning, and always willing to research new topics. A good doctor is willing to refer you to someone else (or an expert) and admit when they just don't know the answer.

> In most civilized countries, his mother would have sufficient help from government healthcare.

I am in New Zealand, which is fairly civilised, and I think your statement is mostly wrong.

Firstly, I have seen people get some government help, but it is rarely enough. Even with government help and sharing the load with siblings you may still need to help your parents full time.

Secondly, many people choose to look after their parents because they want to, or sometimes they don’t trust that others will give them the same quality of care. Even with high quality private care, I have seen plenty of children dedicate a lot of time to their parents (similarly friends looking after sick friends).

For some children it is acceptable for them to hand parents over to aged care, provided by the state. Many other children choose instead to do as much as they can to help their parents, often because they have experience of the systems and see the reality of overburdened elderly care.

When infirm people have nobody else to help them except government services, their care is sometimes of low quality, although still expensive for the economy to provide. A mature economy with many elderly perhaps doesn’t have enough people to provide the number of dedicated hours needed to support all of their infirm? I did a quick search and it looks like New Zealand spends about 1% of GDP on long term aged health care. That seems surprisingly low to me - although I didn’t look at how much other countries spend. https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=crown+expenditure+%22aged%...

If you are working later at night over the weekend something bad is going to happen (except if you work on a Wednesdays off Sundays working days schedule).

If you mix production with dev something bad is going to happen.

If you expect no mistakes to happen, well, something bad is going to happen. Authorization and prompts are there for a reason.

@comments discussing about dismissing OP -- doesn't matter: you don't have the data anymore. Production data should be indestructible practically or it doesn't matter.

Sure your client/user is going to be OK if you fired your junior dev Bob... Just comment how many times that has worked.

None of the code for consumer production is verified formally. So please spare us the bs that you make no mistakes. You are just lucky.

Be humble because the complexity of modern systems is insane, there is no way you have all cases covered, if you had you would had a formal proof.

We all are just doing our best to cover most of the edge cases. That is why we need to keep learning from other peoples mistakes.
