I just assumed he had some intense business interests involving trade with China. He has had a heavy moderation hand when people are critical of the CCP or for example what was formerly thought of as the conspiracy theory about COVIDs likely lab leak origin. He seems to have come around a little bit on this maybe he read about the Uighurs or who knows.
I studied extensively historical scientific original documents for several years and I tend to find my self writing very much in that style when I do anything that requires significant exposition.

Even if it's something boring like remediation of a building structural issue.
I'm confused, because I have Dropbox installed on my m1 Mac and it works fine. Is Rosetta that transparent that I just didn't notice?

For something that only has to Sync files do I really need the full power of an m1 processor. Even if it's running slower by the emulation layer, I was not able to notice anything. I even did a bit of stress testing where I was editing a text file in two places at once to see what happened, and Dropbox synced everything within seconds.
There is no way to measure the 'progress' between different types of systems. The manufacturing process is exponentially faster and more efficient between 1980 and 2020.

As far as cars go, I would say a 1980 mechanic could work on a 1940 car. A 1980 mechanic could NOT work on a 2020 car.

I think alot of non-mechanically-inclined people don't understand that massive revolution that happened in car engines in the 2000s.
All the arguments here apply to TJ at the very least as well, considering 39 sponsors at $400 adds up to >$10k.

Plus: Do you believe anyone reading this will shell out $400 for one person?
Not sure what you guys are talking about. It's just going to make you feel worse. You want to be sick and drunk/high? Sounds miserable
A wearable head massager/tickler. It's possible to buy head massagers which are hand-held, but that completely defeats the purpose. I'm aware this is a male-dominated community, but as a woman, I know other women would pay a LOT if this product existed.
This is great - love the frictionless signup and onboarding experience. I'm planning to teach my niece some basic programming stuff (moving on from scratch) and this seems like a great way to put together some mini-lessons that are quick and rewarding.
Exactly. One aspect of the issue is the difficulty of self-hosting video content, but another aspect is everything else YouTube does beyond hosting the file. It's a marketing and distribution platform.

Linking from your website to YouTube will let people find your Channel, getting people to come back after the one video. People can save videos for later, youtube videos will show up in search results. You want views on your website to increment the "Views" count on YouTube because that's a signal of legitimacy. You want to be able to pull one report of "how many people are watching our video content?" without having to add numbers from YouTube and your own hosting.

All of these are benefits (or lock-in) that a YouTube embed provides beyond just hosting the file. A <video> element has no way of getting most of those.
I've been running it on an M1 for quite a while now. At least while it's mostly idle I haven't noticed any effect on the battery. If you do a lot of syncing every day you might see more of an effect I guess.

I like this explanation that likens the search for principles to compression:

The natural human urge to look for simple explanations is a compression problem. If you can find a simple mechanism for operating in a complex universe, you can teach it to your children more easily.

Training AIs has a similar motivation — a simpler function is cheaper to store and compute.

Perhaps we can call the simplest explanations we've found so far "Principles". We want to believe they are universally true. For example, conservation of energy, or humans should have equal rights. They seem to fit our current reality, and they are vast simplifications over doing things ad-hoc, but are they more than lucky simplifications of a complex universe?
Some potential answers:

* Original programmer has since moved on, and as per industry standard there was no hand-off and code is poorly documented

* The team in charge of this is busy delivering features/fixing bugs for whale clients

* The product organisation down prioritizes it because the PM wants to build a shiny thing that gets them promoted
The Dropbox client exists for iOS and writings were on the wall that macs would switch to arm. This is simply a sign of wrong priorities.
So you lobby legislators to keep the paperwork flowing and then you sell a solution to deal with the paperwork? That's more akin to the broken window fallacy than to actually solving a problem.
> "I just really want to be part of/build this" factor. People with that make for excellent teammates.

Not always. You want to be a part of something/build something, and then you want to build it YOUR way. Or you see an obvious hole and then an ugly battle between your ego and that of the chief architect ensues.

Also, there may be cases when you want to be a part of something, meet your heroes, and then it all goes pear-shaped. Because you shouldn't meet your heroes.

And sometimes it's better to have mercenaries who don't necessary believe in the same thing as you but care a lot about their own reputation and take pride in having done a good job.
To clarify I thin parent means syntax error I'm the sense of "I'm parsing a (code) file at runtime and there's a syntax error", not a language syntax error.

I mean there's nothing stopping you in zig from creating a rich "error" struct and returning a union of the struct with whatever you would have done otherwise. You only lose the error return trace.
Basically that, plus swapping the carts when more trays are needed at the inlet, plus putting advertising on everything. How "putting an ad on a visible surface" even passes the smell test is beyond me, but those claims are valid it seems...
Are we talking about Intel's plans for a standalone GPU?

Intel hadn't shipped a dedicated GPU in >20 years (until the low-end DG1 last year) and their integrated graphics were anemic at best for most of that time period.

"2-4 years behind Nvidia" would be pretty impressive of a leap to have been aiming for in some meeting a few years ago.

I don't expect to be purchasing their DG2/"Arc Alchemist" when it launches in a few months, but if it's remotely competitive with mid-range current generation cards (as has been rumored/claimed), that'll be pretty impressive to my mind, to basically enter a completely new market segment for them and have a product that's even worth discussing.
I think it's a great reminder that 99% of these startups are really just scaled versions of free technology you already have. Maybe it's a little grating to hear if you're a Dropbox founder, but FTP is natively supported on Apple Silicon while Dropbox is not...
F. it! Build your own! congrats.
MS Office back in the day was well known for being horrible to interoperate with. Their file format was literally a memory dump. So disconnecting enough that the data on disk is at least serialized in to something that can be understood by others is good.

Being disconnected enough so that V2, can load V1's persistence without too much pain is good. Again looking at you office.

Persistence and domain models are fraternal twins, not identical twins. In general recognize that domain model, and persistence model are different things that have slightly different needs. For example the domain model of a person might only care about age, the persistence model is only going to care about DOB. So yeah 95% of the time they are the same and nothing is gained from separating them but having them be too close is often the source of problems.
> Is Rosetta that transparent that I just didn't notice?

In my experience: yes. Photoshop under Rosetta (before their Apple Silicon release) was faster on my M1 than it was on my old 2016 MBP, despite the emulation.
Agreed, I hadn't seen anything on this subject before and wasn't aware it was a copypasta response. I get that hn doesn't want to turn into the cesspool of inside jokes that reddit has become, but a quick jab like this here and there never hurts, imo
It seems the key is some level of gatekeeping from doing it yourself. Need a MD degree to get medicine prescriptions, need the town to sign off on electrical work permits, tree cutters need insurance and have up-front cost of equipment, etc.
Isn't the point of most/all big NASA projects to distribute as much money as possible into a specified number of states? Kind a hard then to get political backing to move to a quicker + cheaper project.

That's 1.1c since the 1880 starting point. Not 1.1c for the 21st century. We are still on track for 1.5-2.5c warming in the 21st century.
I'd like to maximize my chances of retiring in a place without major climate issues in 20 years. Where would I find a model that would show me a place on Earth that's likely to be "fine" (or conversely, places where one would definitely not want to find themselves living in)?

For example, this report mentions that by 2040 developing countries are going to struggle, so I wouldn't want to retire to a developing country.

Is the weather in Alaska likely to get much warmer and reach temperatures like in California?

There's going to be strain on energy and food systems, so I suppose I'll have to be able to grow my own food, at least to some degree, so I would need a decent garden and good weather to grow the food. And so on..

Are there any resources to start planning this semi-seriously, without getting sucked into a whole "world is going to end" doomsday prepper narrative with guns, zombies and bunkers?

I imagine that land and housing prices in such future areas is only going to increase, so it would be nice to get ahead of the curve.
The corpuscular theory of light was one of those theories that was wrong but useful. The successor wave theory was also wrong. It may turn out that general relativity is founded on incorrect reasoning ("God does not play dice" for one), but that matters much less than it being fantastically useful.

The basic idea- if light interacts with gravity, if you pack enough mass into a region you will get a dark star- is correct. It just turns out that the interaction can't be described by treating light as little particles and calculating by Newton's equations.

There's been lots of wrong-but-useful theories, like phlogiston or arguably luminiferous aether:

> Is Rosetta that transparent that I just didn't notice?

Yes! It’s 100% Intel code being emulated or transcribed. You can see which is which in your Activity Monitor.
This makes me even more willing to use 1.1.1.1.
Maybe the best approach is to forget about a multi-planet civilization at this point in time (we clearly lack the technology) and focus on preserving our one planet civilization for as long as possible.
That's just evading the question.
That the GP post wasn't anihilated with downvotes is a great example of the continued memefication/ redditfication of HN. And this is a sad trend.

Yes, this is such a non-issue.
I agree that TSA is ineffective against any sophisticated attack, but couldn't it potentially be a great filter for the many run of mill crazy person? Not suggesting its an efficient use of funds in either case.

National security literacy tip:

China is the world's biggest C02 producer and has declared it has no more concessions to make. Yet the world is content to watch America fall further into debt & inflation as climate-focused regulations impact logistics, energy & manufacturing. In sum, the US is destabilizing, risking social disorder, for a goal its competitors will not meet.

For example, US coal supplies are the lowest they've been in decades at a time when domestic energy demands are requiring about 16% more coal than last year. Similarly, the backlog at California ports is largely due to environmental regulations enacted by the CA legislature (truck emissions primarily).

Putting this imbalance in national security context... Resources China & Russia could be allocating to climate change are instead directed to offensive hypersonic weapons, nuclear launch capabilities & forward deployed bases. The US is scrambling to match these investments and innovations in a more expensive labor/procurement environment & while facing all manner of distractions declared national priorities, yet having nothing to do with real security.
This sounds like a recipe for 'devops' people. They don't know a single thing about anything. It's like their brains are full of copy and paste bullshit.

They're almost as useless as "CyberSecurity" graduates.

Generalizing here, of course.

What hurts is that an iPad is powerful enough to do a huge chunk of these tasks locally but Apple wouldn't allow it.
I’d add that the lack of support for media attributes is an accessibility fail. You effectively cannot honor both:

- prefers-reduced-motion
- prefers-reduced-data

… without JS.

Edit to add: also, Safari won’t play <video> at all if your server doesn’t support HLS/respond appropriately to range headers. Which is probably well-meaning but absurd.
Whats stopping you from using a macbook air? they are incredibly small for the power they pack. Plus you get a descent keyboard to boot.

To add some context. Had to take my fully specced out 2018 MBP 15" to get the battery replaced. Basicly, I had to go a week without my daily driver and I didn't have a backup. So I picked up a macbook air since they have a 14 day no questions asked return policy. I expected this thing to do some light work. I didn't expect it to actually keep up with my entire workload but it did and without getting particularly warm either. This tiny 1k laptop with 8 gb of ram was ding the job of a 3.5k fully specced mbp with 32 gigs of ram.

can't wait to see what they do with the m1x but I think the macbook air will handle everything you need + allow you to devlop locally.

Depends which thing.

- For low level hardware grovelling, you need a sufficient understanding of the workings of modern chip internals.

- For crypto, another "don't invent your own" thing, probably a specialised degree in cryptography and a lot of practical experience.

The bar is simply higher than "I have access to a programming language and think my idea would work".
At some point we have to ask what the raspberry pi platform is for - they used to be low budget, low cost, low power general purpose computing in an extremely small formfactor.

It seems like there's still one product, but increasing divergent use cases for that product.
Heavy industry does not specialize in the environmental and logistical challenges of space. You can't just slap in some oil drilling equipment into your rocket and expect it to perform to the degree you need. Every bit of equipment needs extensive testing, and likely extensive modification as well. That's not cheap, and it's often better to just design something purpose built for space, instead of trying to modify some piece of Earth-based equipment.
Anyone with FAANG / corporate tech perspective - is "Contractors are generally not the strongest technically" an actual thing? Or is just something recruiters say to avoid saying the real reason for no?

In the games industry at least, some of the brightest folks go through a contracting phase - either to work on stuff they like more, to bootstrap their own project or just out of cynicism about the industry.
This is ridiculous. The features and interface dropbox offers are so far beyond the “solution” outlined here. And it is relevant that this stuff doesn’t work natively on Apple‘s new silicon. Because it kills the battery if it has to go through the Rosetta translation layer. The point here is that you have a public tech company that has one job, which is to support consumer cloud storage, and a big chunk of that consumer base is running on apple silicon, and their response is acting like they have no reasonable priority or responsibility to port to Apple silicon, despite that it has been out for one year and the interim solution is just that: a temporary, interim Rosetta translation.
Dropbox for iOS and Desktops are very different applications.

Which happens to be exactly where the pi excels. I'm currently writing an application to record my homebrew information and also capture basic sensor data. A PC + arduino/sensor platform would be overkill and an ESP8266/ESP32 would slow me down.

Pi 2B running PHP? Perfect.
I think the upfront + refund + commission structure balances the incentives. It's something that is missing with ISA structures, which unevenly optimizes the school incentive. An upfront cost is table stakes.

The trainer is incentivized to perform because the collected tuitions might only represent a fraction of what could be earned. The commission is where the profit is.

I would personally be super motivated to sign up, especially if the curriculum and employer partnerships were attractive.

I'm riffing but I know it's a super hard problem. I wonder if game theory could or has helped here.
It's the most common Android platform, so has a lot of users overall.

The information needed to solve the tsp problem is not the distances matrix. It’s the set of Hamiltonian paths in your graph. And that scales factorially with the number of cities.

It is the subtour elimination (remove cycles) that makes the tsp problem difficult. Not the connectivity.

The current estimate is 2M or maybe 10M.

If the first stage is reusable, having a cargo launcher second stage that is none, reusable can be done for 30M.

First stage reuse is wall proven already.

> Starship will be unable to leave Earth's gravity well.

If its not reusable you can use it like any upper stage and it could launch anything anywhere you want.

> And if they can't refuel in orbit (which as of now, has only been performed a handful of times with small satellites)

The physics is well understood. We do it constantly with non cryogenics.

I really think this is overrated in how much of a technology risk this is. Specially if you have enough weight that you can invest in the solution.
At the very least, have the new Intel CPUs fixed the speculative execution vulnerabilities or are they still manufacturing those? Eg SPOILER, Spectre, etc?
I'm curious in what ways a industrial cylinder wouldn't be vacuum capable. Pressure shouldn't be a concern. they operate at 5-10,000 PSI above the ambient environment, so an additional 14 PSI differential shouldn't matter.

I'm guessing operating temperatures would be a big concern

What failed in water?
That's true for some explanations — for example the various proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem — but you still have to watch out for explanations that are flat-out wrong, and can even be harmful because they obscure the real explanation. I think equal-transit theory seems to be one of those, haha.

Maybe the damage is limited because very few of us will be designing airfoils. That may also be why it has been so hard to correct! The consequences for getting it wrong are minimal.

Something much more dangerous would be an untruth that directly harms people. The debate around those tends to be much more rigorous, although I'm surprised how long some of those can endure when people get attached to them!
Every time I've switched jobs I looked back and questioned the time and effort I put in. It seems like I never got back what I put in.

M1 hardware is just incredible.

They may be considering whether they should have separate downloads or a smart installer/runtime that figures out what to install/run for MacOS. Separate downloads would be close(ish) to what you're describing, but would drive support issues for some users. A smart installer would be new code, maybe.
Propulsive landing of an orbital stage is pretty new.

Does it? Such a world wouldn't have increased crop production, and would regularly suffer from otherwise preventable famines.

I imagine far more people would be hungry in the world where we forego all R&D in an effort to solve hunger.
"Smart TV" means "smart" for the manufacturer. For the user, it's pretty "dumb" to let the manufacturer invade your privacy on your TV.

Thank you Samsung but no thanks. Any "smarts" I need from my TV, I will add myself. This way, I know exactly what I am getting.
With soldered on, unreplaceable, unupgradeable LPDDR5, which is not DDR5. There's massive differences in the specs.

I could have bought SoCs way before Apple decided it was a perfect way to get people to have to buy brand new hardware every time. They're not new technology.
I don't think the reasoning is incorrect. It went like this:

1. What if the motion of light is influenced by gravity, as suggested by Newton's theory of corpuscles? (It is, just not in the way he thought.)

2. And what if there are supermassive, super-dense objects? (Turns out there are.)

3. Then light would be unable to escape such objects.

That's pretty remarkable in my opinion, and no more "wrong" in its way than Newton's theory of gravity which was also correct for the wrong reasons.
