The architect didn't resign over fire safety. The fire safety discussion isn't really relevant. There are a lot of sprinkled buildings with rooms without direct exits or Windows. Most office building and many dorms etc even.

That's not a statement of support for the building just that it isn't why this architect found issue.
Hiring Eric Schmidt and buying NeXT are up there.
My pet peeves is games that require middle clicking and don't let you remap all of the functions of middle click. I have to plug a mouse into my gaming laptop to play them.
No, NFTs were supposed to be the ultimate tax evasion trick for the rich.
I haven't trusted Charlie Munger at all since reading a paper he wrote about how wonderful an investment in Coca-Cola stock is. He told all about their great growth rate, cash flow etc but never once mentioned if drinking caffeinated sugar water on a regular basis is good for you (its not, its very unhealthy).
You’re right, it’s not fair but at the same time climate doesn’t care about per capita. Also, 87 % of Chinese emissions are attributable to domestic needs and production.

The only solution is geo-engineering and carbon capture. The Western world wants to lower emissions but it won’t matter because the majority comes from the developing world. And they want to keep growing, rightly so, negating the lower emissions from the West.

Thus we are left with only technical solutions.
I am not too up to date technically on this, but since iOS apps can run now on M1 Macs so shouldn’t it be some way possible to hook joysticks to Macs and play those iOS games? Is it possible right now, or has Apple said something about such a scenario?
These companies are all making a ridiculous number of big bets.

Apple Silicon, TV production, self driving cars, household robots, smart assistants, AR/VR, healthcare.

Every startup out there is meanwhile building a generic enterprise SaaS app with a React front end.

Lol - I have yet to see any cost savings passed through as lower tuition. More budget for sports, more administrator salaries, MAYBE an endowment but let’s not get too ahead of ourselves.

This is just squeezing the undergrads to feed the rest of the machine more efficiently.
Right now it's slower than chip that are 2/3x less expensive but use more W. We don't know if their CPU scale with power usage.
I just can't see it. If they do "step out of their lane". I bet it's more in search. They've been slowly trying to ungoogle the Apple experience for a while and I wouldn't be shocked if they eventually do a search engine.
When Alder Lake drops next month, the question goes away. Then answer is yes.

> This was underlined sharply by an After Effects update that arrived in the middle of our testing, which enabled better multi-core acceleration. After Effects is still an Intel app, which runs in the Rosetta emulation mode on these machines, but the update allowed the app to light up all 10 CPU cores and all 32 GPU cores, cutting export times on our test from 4:29 to… 41 seconds. (It also substantially sped up performance on our Intel-based Mac Pro, which is nice.)

From this point forward, all consumer processors have a GPGPU - either discrete or embedded on CPU package (AMD Zen has been this way since the beginning). Adapt or get supplanted by a new piece of software that takes advantage.
I would if I could! However, I don't have any idea of which screen readers are the most used by blind devs :/
I just checked CBS News, Yahoo News, Washington Post and the Guardian.

None of them have this mentioned on their front pages. So, maybe they had a 20-second bit about it at some point, to claim that they covered it, but - they're suppressing this story.
> And Google ... we need someone to organize all that publicly available data on earth, right? Well, Google does that.

You know their money doesn't come from organizing the publicly available data, but from organizing all behavior data you generate as you browse all that publicly available data ;-)
what’s really awesome is how Google refuses to believe “unhork” could be a real word or even slang. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. This truly is representative of the emergent horkage of bureaucratic oligarchy founded on algorithms. The supply chain crisis is merely representative of the same noumenon. HHOS.

On the flip side, hackspek is becoming obscure again. Which may be desirable to those who would be secret masters of hackerdom.
CNN: "Joe Rogan cures COVID with medicines for the mentally ill"
I'm an outsider myself. I'm currently taking the tact of studying Domain Theory concurrent to my introduction to Category Theory, while reading up on recursion.

Half the public: "Hooray! Get them up ASAP, buy as many as you need!"
I haven’t read up much, but virtualization options like Parallels exist. Can’t say how well it works. Personally haven’t needed to use a Windows-only app in years.
A bug implies a software defect. This however sounds like a design defect.
Also intresting to see that do these Defi platforms start bring formal proofs and other pretty academic stuff to actual every day development.
> we are going to have a big problem

Yes, we will. We need to tax the hell out of it, and tariff any country that does not institute an equivalent tax.

But we'd rather grouse about foreign use of coal, rather than install a tax - because any such tax, at the moment, would hurt us[1] a lot more than it hurts them.

[1] Well, some of us.

> They clearly did NOT intended to give the coins away.

They designed a cryptocurrency with a floating value that went up or down according to certain rules. Someone read these rules carefully and then borrowed billions of dollars of capital to play the game, according to the rules, in a way that moved the value in their favor.

This isn't like a remote code execution attack because OS designers aren't planning features that allow unauthorized remote code execution.

This is more like an options trade that didn't work out because someone with more money used their capital to blow up the trade. You can't make a bad trade in the stock market and then argue that your loss was a "bug" because you intended to make money, not lose money.
Oh I'm not brushing it off at all; I just think it's remarkable that $130M could be stolen so easily.
> Also I'll remind ppl that when they talk about bikes for transport it just wont work for America. Our population is way unhealthy, it isnt a great option.

Wouldn't infrastructure be a greater issue in the US? While it is difficult to judge the overall health of people from appearances, I've observed people of most ages and most body types riding. Age and weight do have an impact on people's ability to ride and it is observable with how they ride. This is especially observable in the elderly where those who I know make an effort to remain fit are much more proficient riders.
HN really shows how little it knows about the defi landscape whenever posts like this show up.
I think any process which takes 23 steps to describe could reasonably be described as "complex", but if you're jealous that you didn't think of it first its kinder to simply say so rather than talk down on the skill of the person involved in the attack.
They have different business models:

* Apple builds nice hardware

* Amazon is like a giant online store, they also do some cloud compute hosting on the side (an outgrowth of being a giant online store) and sell some hardware and ads.

* Facebook is...before being Meta, a social media network.

* Google sells ads, they tried the social media thing and it didn't work out. They do some cloud compute hosting, but not as much as Amazon or Microsoft.

* Microsoft does enterprise and consumer software/services.

There is "overlap" but the core business of all these companies is very different (and when they compete, there is usually someone who is much more dominate than the other).
> They clearly did NOT intended to give the coins away.

I frequently make decisions that don’t turn out as I intended. You need a distinction between whether the outcome is what you intended and whether the process is what you intended. It isn’t a clear line.
Building code isn't really written as rules of thumb but as rules.
Pretty much. They help make the glue for the big boys. I miss 2006 when it seemed like any startup could become something big. It's seems impossible now.
You can run Windows 11 for ARM via Parallels, but it's bleeding edge; you have to install a Windows Insider (beta test) preview.

I think it's likely that Apple will offer Boot Camp for M1 Macs whenever Microsoft gets around to shipping Windows 11 for ARM in a non-beta form.

It does sound like a lot of money but that is also a huge dorm. I couldn't find numbers on a more recent dorm project but MIT's Simmons Hall was completed in 2002. (Which also has sort of a weird window thing going on.) It "only" cost $78 million--so presumably something in excess of $100 million today. But that's for a dorm only housing 350 or so students vs. 4500. But, still you're looking at about 2x the cost per student housed.
What’s the point of this comment and if it were true what difference does it make?
2 of the 18 counts are conspiracy. The other 16 are not.
What I usually do instead?

Start with ROLLBACK at the bottom (With a BEGIN TRANSACTION up top if the DB/env warrants it)

Only when I know I'm happy, change the ROLLBACK to a COMMIT.

Wait until you hear about programmers who frequent tech forums.
> Half the public: "Hooray! Get them up ASAP

Well my neighbor having to pay a fine of over 3000 € for attempting(!) to shop at a home improvment store really had it coming. I mean how dare he endanger us all like that?

BTW: I loved the lockdown.

Where I live, some German 'burb, it's so calm, police is usually nowhere to be seen.

But the lockdown gave us more patrols in a week than all the prior decade. Plus police helicopters day and night. It felt very comfortable!
I am not very bullish about the future of ads but I don't see Google being limited to ads. Search is not valuable enough for users at the moment to pay for it. But with the advent of AI, your "AI companion" will become so valuable that users will probably pay hundreds of dollars per month for it.

Apart from that, they build phones, run datacenters, develop self driving cars, business software ...

As for Azure, I think Googles cloud business is in the same order of magnitude. I don't see one of them having a long term competitive advantage here.

As for Apple, I think consumer demand in tech will grow just like business demand in tech will grow. And I don't see anyone disrupting Apple either. They will just continue to iterate and grow.

IF some new development appears on the horizon, then it will be interesting how the 3 CEOs will position themselfes. But at the moment, I don't see anything that will disrupt any of these companies.
Just like in Erlang, you would handle that at the transport level, and it appears Swift supports providing your own transports. They didn't mention (or I didn't see) whether the transport they are shipping has any specific auth wrapped around it though.
>I've had a couple Gen X'er friends tell me the generation is collectively stuck in the past. Are there any plausible theories why that might be?

Isn't this true of most generations? It seems like a pretty universal human attribute from what I can tell, at least to some degree. Is the idea that it's a stronger pull in Gen X?
I'm actually not understanding how Texas is shocked. The Article bases this claim on what exactly? They didn't have any interviews with Texans.
It's all good. Just because I have experience as a firefighter and have some domain knowledge that the average joe lacks, doesn't mean I'm always right. And my comments above were based on, as I've said, limited knowledge as there are a lot of areas that TFA doesn't touch on.

I think this is a good discussion though, as maybe it exposes some members of the public-at-large to some thoughts on fire-safety that they haven't considered deeply before. If so, that's a win in my book.
There's no indication that low-salt garum was a thing. That would just be horribly spoiled fish juice.

Doesn't your worldview make smart contracts pointless to begin with?

If your plan is to rely on the court system, then just rely on the court system. You can write your contract on paper; smart contracts serve no purpose whatsoever then.
In one of my years at a top 5 rated undergrad university I was in a ~100 sq. ft. windowless room as part of a 6 person suite with a decently large common room. That was a slightly unusual situation at my school (the windowless part, I mean), but remarkably like what is being proposed here. The overall building was quite a bit smaller and most of the rooms had windows and all that, but it really was almost the same from my perspective.

It was absolutely fantastic. I had a private space to sleep in and retreat to when necessary (a single is a major luxury for most undergrads!). I had a semi-private space shared with my suite-mates for work, socialization, etc. There were larger common spaces I could utilize around campus. It was my favorite housing situation I had while at school.

I could see it being a major problem for those who are highly socially reclusive, though.
complete strategy shift to service subscriptions.

It's honestly that simple.
That's not what the comment is referring to.

CNN used the term to falsely describe what Joe Rogan took to treat COVID - he did not take horse dewormer but a normal human dosage prescribed by a doctor.

Sure, there were reports of people taking horse dewormer and nobody objects that reporting, just the usage of the term in relationship to JR.
It is a bit more dark than that, sadly. Of the big cloud providers, Azure is the least well regarded by users (significantly so), but MS have the longest pedigree of twisting the arms of corporate procurement people. Similarly, Apples ability to make cool stuff is dwarfed by their ability to coerce people into paying huge sums for minor hardware upgrades.
The bulk of the work wouldn't be bringing the chips over, it would be having the sales and support structure around it. See how hard it was for AMD to get a foothold.
Defund it entirely, along with the ATF, NSA, CIA, and maybe the FBI.
The network of rest stops varies. In Washington State, they recently closed a line of them along the I-5 due to vandalism and a lack of employees to maintain them.
The design looked like rooms inside a pod inside a building. Seems like a fire in front of a single door could in theory kill everyone in the pod based on the image in the article.

Honestly, this looks like a low security prison to me. Small cells and a day room for activities and socializing.
Unless I misunderstand you those things already exist.

I am surprised they haven’t done that yet. With all their feistiness against Google in last few years, this seems like a very logical next step.

Totally true. There are many cases where even 2 or 3 turns of written comms beats 100 of spoken (and I'm one of the biggest proponents of written work and async work at my company).

But there are situations where speed of alignment matters more than the specific direction of alignment and other situations where the nature of humans requires a live, synchronous discussion. I couldn't build a relationship with my family using only written feedback and requests.
If he gets extradited and tried I think all those rights will be there.
There is very little interest in any large capex projects of any type, in any location, on the part of banks. They're buying US paper instead. To be expected, given the high inflation rate.
For sure but a 10% gain isn't a gain if you already reached your target goal of smoothness.

For example if you can edit at $your_target_resolution and everything is liquid smooth without dropping frames even with a decent amount of effects then any improvement is overkill.

I'm sure for crazy high end set ups (8k video, etc.) an M1 Max would be nice but for other folks editing 1080p or 1440p videos at 30-60 fps you can get liquid smooth editing even with ~5-6 year old hardware that costs $1,000 all-in (a bit more expensive now due to GPU prices being temporarily crazy in price).

> I imagine at some point in the future (perhaps by 2030) there will be some sort of self-managing set of systems that you can just put on your premises.

That's not really the direction Microsoft is going in. Cloud PC (virtual desktop infrastructure) is an Azure only service; there's no on-prem version. Licensing to build it yourself is complex.

They may likely end up with on-prem islands for purchase/rent/whatever, like AWS has, and IBM pioneered in the 60s?

I can think of few things other than (1) games, or (2) very old "enterprise" business software, that are 100% Windows-only today.

For the TINY amount of PC gaming that I do, I have an older Lenovo laptop laying around that suits my occasional needs. If I didn't have that, I'd probably buy an Intel NUC to use as my reverse-Mac-mini.

For business software, I assume that if I had a need for that, then my employer would issue me a PC instead of a MBP. I dunno, I've been at Mac shops for a decade now.

So, yeah. I'm sure that Boot Camp is still a thing for some people. But I think it's like an optical drive or a headphone jack. The vast majority today will never notice that it's gone.
When people think their support of crypto platforms will lead to them becoming rich off the crypto speculation, I'm sure they're getting more support than you'd expect.
Sharding and HTTP/2 connection reuse: Why are there still redundant connections?
The global power consumption is around 25000 terawatt hours, so you would need to operate around 5000 nuclear power stations to cover that.

You would need 5000 locations, but then you would run out of uranium and exotic metals in a few years. They are non-renewable resources.

Nuclear is not going to happen in time. Every dollar put into it is a waste at this point. The focus should be on decommissioning existing reactors so that the harm is limited when society eventually falls apart, to give a chance for future generations.

DuckDB is one of my favorite projects ive stumbled on recently. I've had multiple use cases pop up where i wanted to do some pandas type work, but sqlite was a better fit so its really come in handy for me.
Then why not use a wire protocol for Vulkan? SPIRV already exists. It only needs some wrapper code tacked on to work as a X extension and you have perfectly efficient server side rendering that potentially works even over the network without breaking anybodies backwards compatibility.
Thanks for this. Just noticed it; they're pretty handy
Not only that, but from what I can tell, the use of ubiquitous, privately owned security cameras for police and other uses is being lauded by the public as a massive success.

It's. Well. Terrifying to me that more than likely, my day-to-day is being recorded by someone, at all times. I genuinely do not like it, and I am sure that it is compounding my existing anxieties.

Some databases do offer both, but it is much more involved than just changing the storage model. The entire query execution model needs to adapt to columnar execution. You can simulate a column store model in a row-store database by splitting a table into a series of single-column tables, but the performance benefits you will capture are much smaller than a system that is designed and optimized for column store execution.
had Assange not jumped bail and hid out in the Ecuadorian embassy for seven years, he'd have served his time (if he was convicted at all) and would have been a free man for quite some time by now, albeit persona non grata in the US.
I was thinking they could make something like the Amazon graviton just with m1 cores instead of arm. And then put into a suitable box for a data center.
There were somewhat prominent USB-C power delivery issues with (various types) of PD USB-C hubs bricking M1 macbooks. At least in the beginning. Not sure, if fixed in firmware now, but in any case: The M1 chips may be particularly prone to failure from power irregularities - and apple bad at implementing standards and safeguards for interfacing with third party hardware (which I think is somewhat known). Maybe apple just doesn’t want to deal with buzz-killing details of USB-C PD.
Every time I check which generation I’m supposedly a member of, the random source I check gives a different answer. I definitely identify more with X than any other though.

i'd sue to try to get that money back. but i'd also expect to know before signing that i'd get such a room.

Since I own APPL stock, yes.

ARM is the future of laptops, and the M1 is amazing. You can't buy, at any price, an ARM laptop that compares to it anywhere else but from Apple and I don't see anybody else able to do it - MS has tried and failed because they don't own the stack well enough that they can get x86 to work.

So I invested in APPL. I haven't invested in Microsoft, because I don't know enough about what they are doing, and won't invest in metabook due to ethics.
