Assuming your question was sincere: You cannot ensure that the SoC isn't doing something secret that the OS doesn't know about in this environment.

Every respondent so far assumed you knew this (because it's an unusually high-knowledge question to ask and an unusually obvious answer) and so assumed the actual purpose of your post was to declare that you personally wouldn't use an environment where you can't be sure the SoC isn't doing something nefarious. The people replying don't really find that declaration interesting. Your subsequent reply says that the choice to live with this particular risk is some sort of tacit acceptance, which implies you are not tacitly accepting it.

Since no such environment exists, except for edge case hypotheticals like only powering an air gapped computer inside a faraday cage in a lead bunker, most people expect that you too are tacitly accepting it, which makes this particular complaint feel like a non sequitur and not an invitation to discuss the broader issue.

If you have an actual real life use case about trying to harden a system to this degree, like you are responsible for nuclear safety or the unlock codes for the secret lunar base or something, I am sure people would like to read about it.

I've more than once got complete garbage through somebody getting hold of my shipping address (not credit card, just shipping address!) and exploiting Amazon using it.

I get 'free stuff' except it's absolute garbage. Somebody else gets to abuse Amazon reviews, hyping that stuff under my name for the purpose of jacking up its review scores. Once I looked and the thing was rated #1 in its category.

Don't assume you've figured out the true costs of externalities: anything that is clearly a broken system is also going to be harming people in its brokenness.
That's an easy split: Johnson and Johnson.
My rule of thumb is that anything Google launches with the word "Project" in the name usually never gets off the ground. I think it shows they don't really have confidence in it, and they're trying to drum up interest by previewing their cool tech before it's ready.

You're stuck in the world of ten years ago. Absolutely none of that is true. Refueling is the same as a gasoline car. A fuel cell car also costs about the same as a SUV to own and run. It fully makes sense to begin the transition to hydrogen cars now.
It's in the spirit of full disclosure, which some, including me, appreciate.

There are languages that treat javascript as a compilation target. Purescript, Elm, Closurescript, Rescript, Scalajs, etc. So if you really dislike javascript, you are still free to pick something else.

Nobody in these threads is saying that housing them is the silver bullet. But shelter is part of the foundation of a human's hierarchy of needs, and being anything but single-minded about people's right to shelter distracts from helping them obtain it.

With Linux you can get the same hardware for half the price from other manufacturers.

That might have been true before, but today no one else is selling ARM laptops that can match the M1 Pro in performance and efficiency.
All of these comments are from the perspective of a consumer rather than the perspective of the amazon employee (driver) who is likely poorly treated and paid. I doubt the driver is happy about their situation, is that positive?

Most of the those problems are fully solved. In fact the the biggest event in green energy is pushing back from the anti-hydrogen nonsense and just start investing. A good example of this is Fortescue industry and JCB. They've pretty much stopped caring about the criticisms and have begun investing billions of dollars.
If networking and KVM suport exist for this (I think it does), then these would make great servers as well.
First of all any claim that the US Supreme Court is categorically 'supreme' than the legislature is not true. It is a fact that each of the three branches of government have powers that check and balance each other. In other words if you were to draw a diagram of powers, there are responses available to other branches to counter one branch's action.

These responses vary in time scale and impact of course. So you will certainly find scholars who get into the details of how e.g. the Supreme Court's power changes over time.

One would be making a value judgement if they were to claim that, overall, the US Supreme Court is 'more powerful'. Opinions are fine -- just recognize them as such and explain your reasoning -- one's weightings of what matters more and less.
OP contrasted this ruling with the situation in the US, and the comment was expanding on that point.
> The huge, v-shaped recovery of the housing market and also stock market and GDP caught a lot of experts and pundits by surprise.

It is not recovery but a price inflation fueled by relentless government printing and injecting money into the system. Since the actual economic activity is still at the standstill (cannot get anythings from cars to Thanksgiving turkey) this new money has low velocity and needs to be parked somewhere. Hence, inflated housing and stock markets. Very sad state of affairs.
No good.
I wrote a lot of class components and getting used to effects was a 2-week-long headache for me. But then it clicked and I can't go back ever again. Hooks are really nice abstraction. However, sometimes I would like people to name their effects: `useEffect(function clickHandler() {})`, but I understand it looks ugly.
The point is this is not a useful metric, because it depends on something that varies from place to place and from time to time.
What if killing senators and representatives offers higher ROI than complying with laws (or bribing the senators more than other companies are bribing them)?

Amazon's not the first one I'd look at for this, but still. At some point you have to look at how things actually function. Not unlike critical theory. You ask, 'this is the rule, what's it like in practice though?'

I don't see how it could be censorship resistant tbh. The data has to be served from a service somewhere, and I can't think of reasons IPFS nodes would be resistant to take downs.
I work at a large tech company, and they do mention in the on boarding materials that we represent the company, so we should be careful in our social media profiles. My solution to this is to not associate my social media profiles with my employer. This is technically not really what we’re supposed to do, and I might have to change that approach at some point if I move high enough in the org to start getting attention from people, but this works for me better than disclaimers on all my posts.

FCEVs will end up being far cheaper than BEVs. Hydrogen production doesn't not have the same uptime requirements that directly electrification requires. It's quite likely that green hydrogen will be cheaper than grid electricity pretty soon. I think people will find out that make green hydrogen is easy, but green electricity is not.

I don't get this. The only reason I feel Apple has an advantage compared to competition is software integration.

M1 performance in laptops is great but that's only been true for a year or so, for the last 5 years Apple laptops have been hot garbage.

As an owner of fully loaded 2018 mbp (i9/upgraded GPU, 32 GB ram) I can without a doubt say it's the worst premium device I've ever owned. The battery runs out on me after 1 hour meeting - and I have >100 cycles on it. The amount of heat and noise it produces is surreal, and that's after I opened it and cleaned up the vents (which clog easily) and added thermal pads to connect VRM to chassis (which helped significantly, prior to that the CPU would downclock so bad I couldn't use anything on my device after 15 mins in a Google meet connected to a 5k monitor).

Not to mention all the bugs I had to go through with it - wasn't untill 6 months after I purchased the device that I could actually use my 5k on my USBC monitor on full resolution - only started working after an OS upgrade.

And the keyboards failing being a known problem they replace out of warranty because they recognise their design sucks (luckily I use external keyboard 95% of the time).

Apple hardware was mediocre at best for the price they charge, up until M1.

In the mobile space, they are faster but as someone who switched from an iPhone to Samsung - I can't really say it matters. Phones are good and well rounded but nothing spectacular, hardware is on par with Samsung.

Again using the Mac/iOS combo is really nice so the software integration is next level, but considering their business practices I refuse to get locked in to the ecosystem, it's just too limiting.

And Linux on M1 would likely be subpar to any premium x86 device, Linux support sucked even on x86 Macs.
Since 2003 I have printed every single interesting web site I've ever bothered to read - and some I haven't - to PDF file. Instead of Ctrl-D to bookmark, I Ctrl-P to print-to-pdf.

I keep these PDF files and use them where most people would have bookmarks.

The advantage is that I have an offline cache of materials (60,000+ files), a carefully curated list of stuff I like (or can be bothered to think about long enough to decide I might need it in the future), and endless amounts of material to pdfgrep for further drilling.

This has given me quite an edge, time and again, because while others are struggling to find that one bookmark that has the article they kinda remember reading once a few years back, I've already found it, gone to the new site, seen the state of the art as it progressed in the time since my visit, and so on.

I believe this has given me a 'second brain'. There is no greater joy than to drop into this directory and do an "ls -alF | grep <some search term>" and find every single page I've read since 2003 on that particular topic, still in the original form I remember - and then to re-visit the page and get the updates.

I have a lot of HN articles saved this way - as well as the HN comments too, and this has also served as a second harmonic to my general knowledge, ready and easily accessible should I need it.

Try this trick, it really kicks ass!
From [1]

On processors that have a halt instruction that stops the CPU until an interrupt occurs, such as x86's HLT instruction, it may save significant amounts of power and heat if the idle task consists of a loop which repeatedly executes HLT instructions.

--

I don't know how it is implemented in darwin, HLT is a privileged instruction, then again it's kernel_task.

1: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_(CPU)
In all fairness it needs to be said that the libc's implementation has to consider portability to more "exotic" architectures. For example, not every CPU allows to make unaligned 32-bit or 64-bit writes, or it takes a huge penalty for such writes.
In a few more years RISC-V may become a thing for general use as well.
People need to question whether Tesla bet on the wrong technology. No one is even asking that question; instead they are just assuming it is correct. Assumption often leads to disasters later on.

If I were them, I would keep some kind of hash of any stuff they have translated, so that when they index it they know if its the output of their own translator.

They probably also have ML models to try to detect machine translations too - ifa human can pick up a machine translation easily, a machine can probably be trained to detect it.

I can see why they want to do that too - multilingual data is very useful for machine language understanding (the computer effectively has two independent ways to understand whats being said), but contaminating the data with machine translations makes it nearly useless.
Shame though for the rest of the country that might not necessarily be able to bankroll such a project.

What Are the Best Tools to Generate B2B Leads from LinkedIn?
No OP, But its most likely that Apple's software is designed to take full advantage of the hardware, but to do that with Linux software would require (1) a lot of funding, and (2) documentation of the hardware, which as I understand it, Apple is currently not willing to provide. So the folks who work on this have to do a lot of reverse engineering.
I guess this is a nice example of why multimedia people benefit tremendously from high parallelization.

You seem to be missing the point.

Britannica or Wikipedia or any publisher of most facts/definitions/similar don't actually own those facts or definitions, you pay them for their work in packaging it and, I guess, phrasing.

The definition of a metre, to circle back, is free, and yet people seem to still pay for it in various ways, by your own account. People can still be paid for work.

Edit: Seen another way, if I paid someone specifically for the definition of a metre, anyone could produce a product for me, but in this case only ISO can (at least with current phrasing, layout, etc). I imagine the cost for the metre definition wouldn't be very high, and there would probably be accurate enough open information alternatives. We don't even have to imagine.

Hopefully clarifies my OP.

=== Opinion section ===

Locking standards/laws/facts behind paywalls and copyrighting it breeds a society with even more inequality where the haves and have-nots have different access to basic information we all have to adher to.

Standards are a type of information where if you have to adher to it it should be open to any to use as they need.

> Focusing on some minor cost and insisting that it's unreasonable, and therefore the whole is unreasonable, is stupid.

No cost is minor for everyone, especially not in aggregate with all other "small costs".

But to clarify, the argument is regarding what we pay for, not my stance on how it should be (which might be too prominent).
Assuming of course the M1 doesn't have SoC code to zero day your proxy server or zero day your OS and selectively allow itself to circumvent this.

But if Apple were really clever they'd add a secret undocumented radio built into the SoC package that sends signals modulated in an unusual way over an unusual low-bandwidth but high signal frequency (probably sub-CB Radio) that no one is monitoring.

Which now brings you to the scenario that you have to use a machine that not only never uses a network, but also exists in a physical place that no network signal could ever penetrate. And it goes without saying that having taken this level of caution, one should probably buy the computer with a fake name and all cash, ideally through a network of international proxy buyers, to be sure.
The cattle is also butchered.

Can't speak for other companies, but this is covered in basic training at Google - if you're not authorized to speak on behalf of the company, you must make it clear when your writings may be mistaken or constructed to represent the company.

Basically the company has specially trained people that speak on behalf of the company, and that message should not be confounded by personal opinions of other employees. For example, on the recent FB outage, there was an employee posting inside information on reddit - media companies just took it at face value and ran around with it reporting as it was what FB itself was saying about the outage.

I'm not aware of any actual risks in the US, but then again I'm not in the US. For me this seems a minor point, and I actually enjoy separating my public persona from the company for which I work, being it Google or a small startup.

>the ultimate harm: the growing power of tech giants willing to use their control over critical information infrastructure to compete with democratically elected lawmakers for societal dominance.

i thought that the "democratically elected lawmakers" are there to carry on the will of the people, not to dominate. And if instead you accept the system of societal dominance in principle, then does it really that matter who is going to dominate? I mean following the Churchill it becomes "now we're just negotiating".
Except there's no current hardware that has comparable / equivalent performance to Apple Silicon chips. The tightly integrated SoC allows for optimisations that x86 chips can't even get close to in certain workloads like video editing. That's not to say that M1 can do it all, but for the workloads it excels at (and it excels at the majority) it is absolutely the best choice for those that need it.

Even discounting the performance benefits of Apple Silicon, the reliability and longevity of Apple products in and of itself is reason enough for me to purchase them. I'm still using an early 2011 Macbook Pro as my personal laptop but I no longer get macOS upgrades; it's stuck on 10.13 and has been for some time so I'll be installing Linux on it at some point in the near future.

And I say all this as someone who once hated Apple for their price premiums. I still find their prices hard to swallow even though I have the means now compared to back then. But their prices are easier to justify for me once you take all of the above into account.
Good for you. But pot does make a whole bunch of people dumb. Not a bad thing though, thats precisely why I use it!
