the initial idea of a perceptron (circa 1960?) is modeled after neurons, and I think convnets are inspird by what we observed visual cortex architecture. No evidence that either were faithful models, if my history was correct.

ReLUs specifically, IIRC were made after it was realized that to satisfy Kolmogorov theorem, any nonlinearity would suffice, so ReLUs were chosen due to their computational simplicity.
Plus, like I said elsewhere, even the "Inspired by" section itself is copied from the original site. The entire page is copied verbatim, with only the text switched out for his cricket theme.

I'm sorry to the OP, but you just can't plagiarise someone else's work like this and then write a fake diary about how you built it yourself (https://pankajtanwar.substack.com/p/i-built-a-fake-vs-code-t...).

By way of contrast, the 'Inspired by' on the original acknowledges its debt to Geektyper (https://geektyper.com/word/), an MS Word clone so different that no one would guess at the inspiration. That is an appropriate level of inspiration for such a small acknowledgement hidden right at the bottom.
No, because the pre-spinning (torque applied to rotor) part happens on the ground with the rotor blades set to low/no pitch. The rotor then starts freewheeling (no torque applied or transferred from the rotor) and the blades' pitch angle is increased, which slows the rotor down, but momentarily creates enough lift to lift the autogyro into the air, where it immediately transitions to forward flight.
> Nothing to suggest FB has broken the law

I don't know what rock you've been under, but just this week Facebook has been accused of illegal collusion with Google[1] *and* illegally ignoring competition authorities when completing its Giphy acquisition.

And just for some context. I had a Rio MP3 flash player that came with 32mb of storage around that time. mb, not gb. Like 10 songs of space. I bought a 64mb card with it that cost more than the player did and setup some sort of thing with smart playlists in iTunes to create a playlist of 64mb of music from stuff I hadn't played recently so it could copy over with as little wasted space as possible.
There's other options. The Dell XPS has top bezels smaller than the previous MBP while still having a front facing camera up top. I think it's an extra 1 mm across the top compared to the notchless part of the new MBPs. Based on my shitty photo measurements the notch actually takes up MORE surface area than
just having a consistent slightly thicker bezel across.

Or perhaps they could have opted for an underscreen camera like the Fold 3 or something else?

I feel like this was done for branding to tie it into the iPhone.
For what? I've never seen any use case. Were there specific apps for specific markets that made use of it?

> There are people who talk to find out what they think, and those who must think before they can talk. You sound like the first type telling the second everyone is that way.

The sentence you just wrote, it came to your mind automatically. The thought appeared. You think you created it. But did you had any other choice? Could you have refused to not have that thought come to your mind? No right. That's the whole point. The thouths keeps coming in your mind. You can choose to ignore some and focus on some. But the brain keeps generating it. Mostly based on the environment and information you are consuming.

I would recomend taking a few minutes and watching the video. I an happy to engage in a healthy debate once you watched it. He explains it much better than I do. If you have ever heard Sam Harris talking you know for sure that he is not someone who keeps saying out whatever comes to his mind. Also he is a nueroscientist.

By autocomplete I was talking in the context of how GitHub copilot works. It doesn't merely recomend code snippets. It modifies the snippet according to context and all like human brain.
It's the norm to work together with people with varying skill level.

Weather people have the skill to figure it out also doesn't matter as they normally don't have time to figure it out.

And even experienced programmers can get confused about bit hacks, sure temporary but that already a step price to pay which is seldomly worth it. It always comes with the risk of accidentally introduce a bug, even if your team only consists of senior devs. And it always hampers productivity.
The writer of the doc sports a quill of unbearable lightness: it is very much an Orwellian thing, to stretch selling something to include using the knowledge of that thing in marketing something else.

But when you ask those juniors, a "senior dev job posting" is one that requires 3-4 of experience.
Apple could reduce their commission on macOS to 5% now, wait until many developers play along, and after a few years return to 30%. A lot of uproar, maybe a small slap one the wrist, but a huge financial gain in the long run.

Agreed. Immediately bookmarked this thread when I saw nostrademons's comment.
I imagine this would be way too loud to use in any police situation.

Besides, none of your examples require that a human actually be inside the vehicle. They could all be done by unmanned drone. The only reason to put a human in the vehicle is to travel.

Now if they replaced the human with its weight in batteries, or better yet a hydrogen tank with a fuel cell, this would give it a huge flight time which would make it much more useful.
That last 10% is really 110% of the work.
The older I get and the more I know about a company, the less interested/motivated I am. Less motivation means slower learning, for me. So there seems to be some indirect effect for me.
The founders hearts were in the right place. Brian Acton created Signal Foundation and Jan Koum like I said also have done good things.

They also tried the paid version for a while if you remember. And they were also dead against ads on the app. Unless I missed something or if I am wrong somewhere (At which point I would love to be corrected), Selling was the plan all along doesn't seem like a right observation.
"Inspiration" though? It's loading the exact same images, in the exact same order, long passages of verbatim css, etc. It's fairly weak attribution there, and no nod in the blog post. It's "enough" from a copyright standpoint, but it's lame.
Not the parent but since I get most of my academic literature for university from libgen I usually have .pdfs. Also, I export my university transcripts to .pdf so there's that, too. I read them using a customized Zathura but I really like the concept you put up. I can imagine using this tool for learning for exams, as an example. Have you thought about making a local, offline client? Looks very promising!
Sadly, the article and anything else I can find with cursory google search leaves out an real specs or capabilities.

The article just talks about design and only briefly mentions capabilities.

The Soviets did have computers and did have a semiconductor industry. It was a bit behind the west but not terribly so. For example the Intel 8080 was launched in 1974 and The Soviets were able to fab clones starting in 1979.
The BBC is funded by the British government who taxes the British public. It is the state media mouthpiece. The BBC wants to show the government their return on investment regarding the effectiveness of fake/distorted news. A sign-in is an easier way to show that effectiveness perhaps?

World of Warcraft compiled for ARM and uses Metal. I'm very interested in benchmarks for this particular game. Right now I'm playing on desktop 1060 and it's more than enough for me (not on ultra settings, but I think that I'm limited my CPU). I expect M1 to keep up with it at least.

You’re correct to remember that there were people within FB who were shocked and surprised that Hilary lost.

But you seem to have forgotten that there were also people within FB, including board members within Zuckerberg’s inner circle, who saw the internal data and used it to buy the political equivalent of out-of-the-money options on Trump winning.
> I have noticed that it's harder to feel people as fully human when they're little 2D movies. Even moreso when they're disembodied voices.

I've had the opposite feeling. With cameras on, everyone looks at each other's faces for cues on when to start speaking, but the lag leads to people speaking over each other. There are a bunch of "oops, sorry" moments followed by a lot of awkward pausing while we try to climb back out of the uncanny valley.
How does that apply here? In fact, the opposite would seem to be the case; the fewer people that install solar panels, the more expensive electricity is to buy off the grid, meaning the faster the payoff time for a home solar system.
System has less of a chance of going down if you have fewer noobs pushing to master all day.

> the MagSafe connection is less likely to cause accidental falls and you won't have to use a precious USB-C port just to stay powered up.

This is not quite true IMO. The prior line of MacBook Pros (not the M1 as I see that as a glorified Air) had 4 USB-c ports vs 3 on the newer ones.

I could also use one of the 4 (with a dongle) for both charging and pluggin in peripherals, so it's in essence one less USB-C port however I look at it.
I think you'd have a far better chance of walking away from a failed engine in that plane too. Assuming it's something like a Cessna you've at least got a reasonable chance of landing it.

There's a reason the racecar frames that "inspired" this thing are made of steel and not aluminum. While this looks sturdy to a layman, I'd imagine this thing would crumple to nothing on impact.

Love to see a crash test and be proven wrong though.

Complete Testing of Sidekiq Jobs
I'm happy about EV adoption but how is the Supercharger network doing in terms of expansion?

We recently went to Ann Arbor and basically got the last spot at the Supercharging station there and in Toledo. People who came after had to wait 20+ minutes (before starting to charge).

These will take some time to materialize but this can get ugly quickly. Right now it's kind of a first-come first-served honor system, but I can see things escalating quickly into arguments and fights over charging....

Fortunately we have a charger at home so we don't need to use one 95% of the time, but when we do I think Tesla owners have been conditioned to expect to be able to show up and charge conveniently. Wonder if Tesla (or someone else) could create a queuing system at least.
The money quote from testing vs Intel's 11980HK:

Only on the older API. It feels like they are cracking down on any general computing and eventually will only allow what they need for chrome V8, requiring codegen be in a sandboxed process with chrome's exact needed permissions or something. If they can squeeze it past antitrust, maybe only after a special signing process for browsers only.

Otherwise anything that can write executable pages can include its own ELF loader to implement exec.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. At the size of Apple, the decision as to when they drop a particular interface or service is the day millions of devices get useless.

Unfortunately, we are still very bad ad recycling e-waste and only a part of it can be recovered successfully. As choosing the date has huge impact on the environment, a company that truly cares would take it into account.
You are not the only one.

I bought one, really excited to replace my 2014 Macbook, but the design won't be what I like the most, I'm sure.

For me, it somehow already feels dated. The black background on the keyboard and the "curved but just slightly" bottom are not to my taste. I wish they would have gone full square like some of the leaks for the M2 Macbook Air show.

In the end, though, I'm still happy they didn't go with form over function for this one.

I've been holding on my old 2014 one just because from 2016 onwards Apple decided to cripple Macbook function for style.

I will take an ugly, powerful, useful Macbook anyday over a beautiful one full of limitations.
At my company, “heroes” are given their own projects with them given full creative control over every detail, including the people they work with. I think I’ve read somewhere on HN to never let any two person do the same thing, to avoid the conflicts you mentioned.

I haven’t yet read Dostoyevsky, though I have read Chekhov and Pushkin in translation. I’m speaking more generally about Garnett’s translations rather than a specific work.
I’m currently learning Russian, and I’m sure it’ll be a while before I can read Dostoyevsky in it’s original form; though I have read some Chekhov and he is an absolute pleasure to read in Russian.
The good news is, the lack of loyalty between employer and employee means that as long as we old folk stay current with the tech, we'll never "age out".

It's a lifelong obsession with learning.
> I think Apple's idea of a "pro" is not necessarily someone who spends time inside of a text editor all day.

I think Apple's notion of "pro" includes people who spend time in front of a text editor all day. It just doesn't include ALL people who spend time in front of a text editor all day.

Developer is a very broad term. I am no Apple fan, but I would be lying if these new Macs aren't more than satisfactory for a large number of developers. Maybe not for developers who have specific or advanced needs, but I think plenty of developers would be super happy with these new Macs.
>I have heard EU is experiencing a different market right now

Pretty much this. Outside of the large metro areas like London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Stockholm, Warsaw, etc. where all of the finance and investments are already concentrated, it's an absolute wasteland (at least here in Austria). Unless you work for a FAANG, a US company, FinTech or a successful well funded unicorn, EU tech salaries take huge nosedive and are in line with your average office grunt work.

The main difference in the EU vs US tech job markets is that in the EU there is far more qualified talent due to free higher education vs the US, and far less job opportunities due to the smaller, more fragmented and slower growing EU economy (just compare the US vs EU stock market growth and see), so there are much fewer good local job opportunities. All this means competitions for well paying jobs in the EU is fierce and employers can be very picky so EU devs do not experience the same explosion of opportunities the US devs experience where anyone who can write a for loop lands a tech job.

Then again, due to offshoring, my friends in Eastern Europe are constantly showered with better and better offers, reaching Western EU wages at much lower CoL so maybe I should move there. Or maybe I'll go to med school since it's free and become a doctor, a much more respected career here, where your value increases with age and aren't at risk of offshoring even though there has historically been (and still is) a perpetual shortage of doctors.
One factor to count in as well is that (depending on the European country of residence and of course on the company itself) US salaries can be lower than local ones, which might or might not cause a problem.

kind of gobsmacked the processor is...intel? in 2021? for an $800 laptop?

was arm or AMD too hard to get? Intel is easily the dead-last pick for performance and power efficiency in the mobile category.
> Will we get such efficiencies when intel hits 5nm?

I think the answer is "maybe," "probably," or "sort of."

But I also wonder if x86 can ever truly outdo ARM on power efficiency.

If we want potential evidence, we could look at what AMD is able to do on TSMC's manufacturing: better than Intel, but still short of Apple.

Then again, AMD is tiny compared to Apple and Intel.

Granted, I think I'm vastly oversimplifying processor architecture. I know it's way more complicated than "x86 vs. ARM."
