What 2021 MacBook Pro Intel models?

As far as I'm aware, the last Intel MBPs were released in 2020, and simply continued the 2019 design language.
Good point, I hadn't thought of that for this use!

An input has a high impedance, which is to say a very large (giga-ohm) resistance to vcc/gnd: very little current will flow trough. Usually it's connected to the gate of a transistor, which can easily be damaged by high voltages (3V instead of 1.2 can be enough).

You can achieve the same effect, but more resilient to high voltages, by switching the output pin to an open drain/open collector mode, which disable the pull-up (pmos) transistor. That gives you high impedance when the pull-down transistor is enabled (ie, 1 is written to the output). This can also be used to control high-voltage logic/LEDs with a low-voltage microcontroller.

I don't know a lot about the Amish, but my understanding is that it's less about the technology itself and more about its effects (as is the focus of this article) and also the dependencies it creates.

The Amish are OK with using electricity as long as they can generate it themselves. They don't want to be dependent on a utility to provide it.
I personally find the natural selection process to be beautiful to witness, the adaptive pressures to be incredible, and the cause to be tragic

There are plenty of horses and horse-ancestors in the fossil record. We would at least expect to see some horn material preserved. Failing that, there would be evidence on the skull itself due to how the attachment of the horn would leave evidence of its existence on the bone of the skull. You would probably also expect to see some horns in archaeological caches. I know they sometimes find narwhal tusks in burial sites.

Interestingly enough, there was a creature that very much looks like a unicorn, but it is a rhinoceros and not an equine.

Blame the Taliban, not Elon Musk:

"Half of the population of Afghanistan -- 22.8 million people -- face an acute hunger crisis, according to a WFP report released Monday. Rampant unemployment and a liquidity crisis means the country is teetering on the edge of a humanitarian crisis and 3.2 million children under the age of five are at risk, the report concluded."
Evolution is in general very slow when it comes to animals. I have my doubts if poaching is the true cause or if there is some environmental reason.
I don't want to say of course it is, but of course it is.

It's an environment full of smart and hungry and competitive people. There are politics, yes, but you can damn well choose to avoid them, especially if you offer value.

Nobody in any industry presents all of the warts and difficulties of getting to a solution. If you wanted to hear about six years of failed experiments, I've got lots of time, but I feel like you don't want to hear it and neither do the people reading and writing research papers.

You'll find that outside of the superstar schools, the smaller schools (certain depts) are staffed with brilliant people. They'll tell you about the nuances of academia if you're a normal person but they're not going to show up on HN where people say what they do is worthless, so people get warped views of what the majority of it is.

Most notably if it was just gravity then we'd expect the effect to be more homogeneous. But with dark matter distribution it isn't. The distribution of dark matter is highly non-homogeneous and acts just like matter does, creating webs and clumps. It would be weird for a field to do this, especially since fields are associated with particles (we still haven't found the graviton, which is the exception to that statement, so far. But we also don't expect to find it without a substantially larger accelerator. One that would be difficult to build on earth)

Because he has plausible deniability, and then you have to address exactly where the line is. And then you end up with bureaucracy. From every organization or tribe I have seen, it is basically inevitable.

If they are lucky, the members of the organization continue to put the needs of all and long term interests over their own, and there are less resources needed to be spent on keeping people in line. Once a sufficient number of people decide to put their own needs and short term interests ahead of the others, then it becomes a never-ending game of whack a mole and politics and parties and all that fun stuff emerges.

This happens on nation state levels, company level, small business, for fun sports organizations, and even family. It is a never-ending battle to keep the order and keep out/expel the entropy.
> IMO, it's because NPR largely exists to reinforce the existing social structure

Can you expound on this? I have come to a similar observation, but would be interested in hearing what specifically they’re reinforcing.
They had the news feed back then too, although it looked very differently. The two major differences between fb and myspace was the forced layout and that you didn't have to browse the site to see if there were updates on friends walls.

The major difference is what people are posting, and how tangentially related to your network, the posts on your newsfeed are.

Back then celebrities and news media weren't part of the platform, so you didn't really have these major intersections in the graph. I also believe that you had to re-share in order to push a post into a node that isn't directly connected to the posts author. Today a like is enough.

The reason why facebook is uncool now, is a mix between who the active users are, and how much room and focus facebook puts on links to newssite and posts by people who aren't your friends.
What happens on non-notch macs, if the active app has enough menu items that your menubar is full? What would happen to the iStat app (or any other menu item?) Would it be drawn-over? Perhaps partially so? I honestly have never even come close to this scenario on any desktop/laptop (even when I try my best to make it happen, like launching every menubar app I know of, and setting the display settings to the highest zoom level) so I don’t even know what the behavior is.

It seems to me like the notch is removing something like 10% of your available menubar area, but… that’s not that much. If you’re running into issues where menubar items have to draw into the notch area, it stands to reason you’re running very close to not being able to see them even without the notch, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: I was able to get my 2016 MBP to have an overflowed menubar, by setting the display settings to “Larger Text” and opening Xcode (which has a lot of menus). It straight-up drops menu items that aren’t able to be rendered… no overflow scrolling or anything. You have to switch to another app (with fewer menus) to see the missing items. I guess the notch makes this 10% or so more likely to happen?

Exactly, 6% of GPD is shockingly low cost to pay for net 0 annual growth in CO2. Now that doesn't mean you can practically deploy that capital but it makes me more bullish on carbon removal.

Fred Wilson is one of the most respected VCs in tech, but his opinions on crypto/blockchain/etc can be challenged quite often, in my view.

In the blog post, for example, he mentions the ability to use Axie token to buy a car. The problem with such example is that Axie is useless in that transaction. One Axie is currently ~US$124 [0], let's say you want to buy a car worth US$24,800, and for that you need 200 Axie tokens.

The car seller could keep the Axie token if he wants to play the "cryptolottery" or "cryptoroulette" of these days, or simply change it back to US$.

This is actually worse than simply using US$ straight up, as you have to pay various fees in the US$ -> Axie -> US$ exchanges.

This shows, in my view, that many people, sometimes even prominent VCs like Fred Wilson, have absolutely no idea why Axie Infinity, or crypto in general, should be important or interesting. But they have a horse in the race and they need to play along.

Show HN: Peer to peer self storage marketplace
https://VacanBox.com
Hi, I have been working on a marketplace startup to which connects hosts with extra space to individuals looking for storage space.
It's just been a month and half, and I have launched the website for hosts, where hosts can sign up, add a listing, and connect payment through Stripe.
As startups should launch quick and get feedback, improve and repeat, I am trying to get some feedback for my website when I am also working to get some hosts on our website.
We already have 8 paying customers and we are taking orders manually and processing them, after getting positive feedback, I want to automate the process and let my website do all the work.

Any suggestions, advice or positive feedback is appreciated.

I really appreciate your time.

>That means just in order to capture a single year worth of CO2 output will cost us 5 Trillion USD (5.000.000.000.000), which is around 6 % of the worlds' GDP.

The US is expected to spend a total of $6T on COVID relief with the passage of the Biden Plan (around $4T was already spent under the Trump administration)[1]. It's debatable whether or not this spend 'worked' as intended.

Investing in carbon removal will create entirely new industries. Rather than paying people to stay at home, it will create skilled tech jobs for Americans. In terms of justification, emissions reductions alone won't stop climate change at this point. It will take centuries for natural processes alone to remove our historical greenhouse gas emissions [2].

Our legal system is what protects their land and property from just being taken by other Americans. It also allows them to maintain a lifestyle with minimal interaction with the state.
If you think about it, two completely different programs running on your PC share most of their code. You just have to be willing to recognize that the operating systems, libraries, even CPU microcode and structure are all part of the program.

If you think about the program as totality of everything that makes it work within some closed structure (like PC case) then it is easy to see how most of the basic mechanisms, infrastructure, can be shared and yet the program as a whole can produce completely different results.
I mean 6% of GDP is a lot, obviously, but it's also just as obviously a cost that can be paid. The important questions are:
- Is it more expensive than simply reducing emissions?
- Is it easier (politically or economically) to deploy?

I see no reason to believe that development of carbon removal tech has had any impact on CO2 emission reduction efforts.

Why not just use AI to generate the code, and automate submission via APIs?
CL doesn't have a truly standard way of writing async/multi-threaded code. Every (practical) implementation supports native OS threads, and Bordeaux threads supports every reasonable implementation while providing a uniform way to access their lower level (and implementation specific) versions. You can get good async/multithread performance out of Common Lisp. But it's, by definition, non-standard. Node at least made asyncio a part of its standard implementation, so you're not having to pick and choose or construct it from lower level primitives. There are other higher level concurrency libraries for CL that build on BT and the lower level primitives to remove the need for you to think about it, but they're still non-standard.

That's all missing from CL as a part of the standard, if CL were to get a second standard something like that would almost certainly make it into the revision. But it's not getting another standard any time soon.

You are responsible for your supply chain. I’ve had instances at work where some rando open source library would be bugged, and we’d have to patch it up ourselves. It is much easier to fix code you’ve wrote.

Because the ones with tusks are being removed from pool (killed) before they can reproduce. Therefore their genes are not replicated and that characteristic goes away.

It’s more selection than “evolution” but they work together.
I loathe those "too cheap to be designed for minimum durability" products.

However, resistors are usually a lot cheaper than LEDs. Each LED comes with its own resistor on cheap LED strips from china, sometimes resistors are even integrated in the LED packaging.

As for PWM -- do you have any source on this? I guess you just have to take into account the capacitance of the LED?
There's also no cultural record of legends of "unicorn hunts" unlike say hunting the white stag.
> Going back to your desk is a work problem, the office should just have those dongles in all the conference rooms and the problem you describe is entirely moot.

You run into this a lot places where only some developers and maybe the artists use MacBooks. Everyone else has fat Windows machines that have every port known to man and don't need dongles. Past the initial (annoying and unnecessary, but oh well) adjustment period, it wasn't that bad for all-Mac shops, but it's a real pain in mixed shops because it's basically just a MacBook problem.
This is likewise anecdata. Experiences vary, so I don't know if I'd throw "normal academia" out there without having a full view of the sector as a whole, which few if any do.

Is gossip that HNs tell themselves to feel better.

Or is Johnny Ives magically a special case because people don't like him?

I mean seriously, if you think being a leader means you are personally pushing for every single solution as opposed to personally accepting every solution... and that you always have the exact same level of personal love for everything that you allow, you've never lead anything with any sort of scale.

Being a leader is about compromise, not turning every project into a 1:1 reflection of what your preferred choices would have been.
For the record, the turning point was 2016, when basically every single sleeper cell “friend” was activated by mass agitprop, leading to a frenzy of political activity, and in the process suffocating everything else valuable of human attention.

You should read about the "new monetary economics" and the "BFH payment system" when BFH stands for (Fischer) Black, (Robert) Hall, (Eugene) Fama - the economists who conceived the original idea. This paper is a decent review: https://ciaotest.cc.columbia.edu/journals/cato/v32i3/f_00261...
"Dollar" is named after a place that is now Czech, but from the German name for that place.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dollar#Etymology
A radical idea is to acknowledge that the user's attention has monetary value and pay them. Even a thousandth of a unit of the local currency per "like", comment, or share, to users would, if the actual reach and activity of social media is approximately accurate (~4 billion likes/day, ~4.7 billion shares) might generate enough backpressure on so-called engagement metrics to make the ad-revenue-driven social media consider how much their profits depend on the free work of their users. Remember the adage, "if you're not paying for the service, you're the product" and understand that the services that users (the product) provide in the service of ad sales deserve real compensation.

Either that, or tax the revenues of social media and its investors and put the money into actually improving the lives of ordinary people.

Or, most radically, consider the absolute absurdity, to put it mildly, of a business that makes a profit off the free labor of individuals and simply abolish the practice.
An interesting read about the subject is the small 'utopian' book Erewhon by Samuel Butler, published in 1872.
It considers the implications of the industrial revolution on society, and thus how it shapes the industrial society and its future. The relationship with the religious power structure is quite enlightening.
Many Buddhist monks own cell phones. Many even own laptops. Additionally let's not romanticize the Amish community. They have significant social issues just like any other society, their lack of modern technology doesn't make their society a utopia, it just makes it different.
