Judging from the enthusiasm radiating from Asahi Linux I am optimistic in this regard. It seems to be interesting enough to attract a lot of talents, which is the key to succeeding for OSS projects.

The ThinkPad seems a boring challenge in comparison. It won't surprise me if the Linux support will be better for Macs than it is for Lenovo "officially supported" PCs.
Comparing the USA rates of hospitalization by age group as reported by statista to the anaphylaxis rates in the link, the "best" vax outcomes are with very old and comorbidity people, so it would have been wiser to separate by age.

Or maybe rephrased the outcome for vax'd 85+ and generally speaking, old fat and sick, patients is so vastly better that anaphylaxis among that group would be a rounding error, being vax'd for those people is like 800+ times better than unvax'd. On the other hand, for thin healthy kids the hospitalization rate for covid for a couple months is about the same as the anaphylaxis rate in that age group, so vax'ing healthy young people won't reduce hospitalization rates overall, instead of having like 1 per 100K kids in the hospital for covid you'd have about 1 per 100K kids in the hospital for anaphylaxis, so for them the risk is vastly reduced from no improvement to some improvement if they watch them for 15 minutes.

Therefore the best policy would be some sort of age based triage. Not-old, thin, healthy are more likely to end up with anaphylaxis hospitalization than covid hospitalization, so put them in observation for 15 mins to minimize the damage from vaccination. As for the old, fat, and sick, the rate of anaphylaxis hospitalization can seems to be about one thousandth the rate of covid hospitalization so proportionately observing them for 15 minutes won't save as many as simply vax'ing more of them would save, so push them thru the assembly line and don't bother with the 15 minutes.

I don't know the ratio of old/fat/sick to healthy in the UK. Perhaps, similar to some areas of the USA, may as well simply make one policy assuming everyone is old/fat/sick or some combination. In that situation the UK plan might make sense. Like in the USA having a vax clinic at a nursing home or Walmart or similar, just assume everyone attending the vax clinic is old/fat/sick.
> it does make a difference if $100k has already been spent on the gear.

That sounds like a sunk cost fallacy, why does it matter how much was spent? It should be the other way around where "clean power" makes a noticeable difference with cheap playback equipment with flimsy filtering capacitors in their power supplies. So-called "audiophile" equipment of boat-anchor weight should not need "clean power", that should be handled by the power supply.

The whole "audiophile" scene is rife with mass-delusion, they fall for the same scams as those who e.g. buy "amulets for protection against evil spirits". Neither of these do anything but both may feel better by having them. The "audiophile" may get the same satisfaction from listening to whatever he plays as whatever random person does listening to his or her music using whatever equipment they have at hand. The difference is that the random person did not have to pay a scammer to achieve satisfaction. The same was true for the "audiophile" before he fell into the trap but now he's lost that ability.
HTTP is maintained by the IETF; not the W3C. You make it sound like Google sends an army to the meetings. They don’t. I didn’t sit in on the quic meeting but in http there’s a small handful of people who ever speak up. They work at lots of places - Facebook, Mozilla, Fastly, etc. And they all fit around a small dining table. I don’t think I met any googlers last time I was at httpbis - though I ran into a few in the hallways.

You can join in if you want - the IETF is an open organisation. There’s no magical authority. Standards are just written by whoever shows up and convinces other people to listen. And then they’re implemented by any person or organisation who thinks they’re good enough to implement. That’s all.

If you think you have better judgement than the working groups, don’t whinge on hacker news. Turn up and contribute. We need good judgement and good engineering to make the internet keep working well. Contributing to standards is a great way to help out.
There is also a literate markdown version of the implementation if I'm reading it correctly.

Next you'll be telling people that rather than rent storage units to store all their extra stuff, and then build an app to track all of that stuff, to just not buy so much stuff in the first place. If you generalize this type of dangerous advice, then what happens to the American economy? The same applies to websites: if you don't add all that great good stuff into every page, then what happens to the programmer economy?[1]

It will thus be nothing less than metaphysics actualized, fully subsuming reality, which will be allowed to enter only in fragments and only insofar as they will be overlaid by digital guidelines manipulating our perception and intervention. The catch is that we will get a commons that is privately owned, with a private feudal lord overseeing and regulating our interaction...
According to AMD you get >1.25 performance at 1/2 the power usage when chips go from 7nm to 5nm. Some of that might be architecture but when x86 gets to 5nm the difference in performance might be fairly negligible.

Locking your laptop to a table in a cafe doesn't seem like something most folks would do. Working in a cafe was the use case I imagined when I saw this.
> Not saying this tradeoff is for everyone, and I've never used C++ professionally so I'm probably ignorant. But are you saying it's common with production projects that use a compiler from 2003 or earlier? What's the use case?

Let's start with the fact that newer doesn't mean better. With already deployed compiler you have tested it and know that it works good enough (code it generates, bugs you have workarounds for, etc). Where with new compiler you are on step one. You must do work again.

Or vendors just support particular version they have patched.

Or you are scared of GPL3.
You can finetune access control of your app into filesystem for example with AppArmor, but access for X.org is always required, remaining as the biggest attack surface.
Does TF have any advantages in terms of ease of acceleration (training and inference) with multiple GPUs?

Our pipeline is all PyTorch Lightning — this made development easy but we have been having numerous issues trying to leverage multiple GPUs (this is for sequence models), keep getting strange errors.
Well, that's something you could easily do with only software and any USB device :

while {
if(!monitored_device.plugged) { setComputerOnFire() }
}

It must exist somewhere. And for the magnetic gimmick, any magnetic usb (which, btw, are actually pretty useful) cable from amazon would do the trick.
Give it 20 more years of evolution (considering we're talking about Go, probably 70 years), and we get another C++. A Google of the future (let's call it Scroogle) starts another language that can be used by recent graduates that have no idea about what they're doing to write mountains of JSON fiddling boilerplate. Rinse and repeat.

Maybe this is counting both directions separately, and doubling again because of sampling vs nyquist? (Not sure the latter actually applies if you're doing everything in analogue, which they would have been at the start).

They probably also didn't have very sharp filters at the time, so couldn't optimally pack the channels.
It's not about viewing/trying to track me, but we are talking about somebody trying to sell me something. Would you feel fine paying around 100 bucks to... well... whom?

Just a website with no contact information, no names, adresses, business registration, whatever?

As far as I can see, this could very likely be a scam of some sort, because anybody who's into doing "real", honest, business would be fine with giving his name and address.
There was such a bad hurricane season during the Revolutionary War that the French navy sailed back home in tatters, refusing to port there again in that time of year.

If you argue a modern tornado proves global warming, then extreme hurricanes in the 1700s (by extension) disproves it.
You could still do valid HTTP/1.1 over nc or telnet, or 'openssl s_client' if you needed TLS; it was just a matter of you knowing the protocol, and the minimum required headers for your use-case. (That said, curl is generally a better choice.)

Many people were upset or annoyed at the idea of their own device spying on them. I can understand that.

However, the major issue for me is the database of "forbidden" neural hashes which you are not permitted to have on your phone. Who controls what goes into that database? Right now, it's only CSAM and Apple have said they pinky-swear that if they're told to add other things they will refuse.

Any maybe they will. Maybe Tim Cook will fight tooth-and-nail to avoid adding non-CSAM hashes to that list. But then maybe Tim retires in five years time and his replacement doesn't have the appetite for that fight. Or maybe Apple gets court order saying "you MUST also report this sort of content too". Maybe that list of forbidden hashes now includes political imagery, the picture from Tiananmen Square, known anti-government memes, etc.

Once the technology is created and deployed, the only thing preventing that sort of over-reach is Apple's resolve against governmental pressure; even if you'd trust Tim Cook with your life, I can completely see why that would give people pause.

This is absolutely true for most companies, but in this specific case he could open a “MEI” type of business (individual micro-entrepreneur) on the government website and use the CNAE 8219-9/99 (“Digitator” or typist) to receive immediately a CNPJ, which would allow him to launch the site on the first day and charge customers, paying very few taxes and without a lot of bureaucracy (well, he would end up needing to deliver some papers to the city hall after that and also generate all the invoices, but this can be done days later, during the first month of CNPJ creation).

>In summary: Why not invent a new protocol

Pretty sure I said nowhere that we shouldn't invent new and better protocols. QUIte the contrary (pardon the pun).

What I am saying is: We should not need to rely on new protocols to make up for the fact that we send more and more garbage, we should send less garbage.

If we can get less garbage, and new and improved protocols, all the better!

But if all we do is invent better protocols, the result will be that what buries the internet in garbage now, will use that better protocol to bury us in even more garbage.
Especially handy for SpaceX, which employs a number of ex-NASA folk. SpaceX wouldn't be where they are today if it weren't for the investment in NASA.
Don't discount the other engineering teams. AMD is currently not too far behind (even ahead in a couple benchmarks) despite being on TSMC's previous node. It's all gonna be pretty close.
There is no sampling/discretization on analog phone line. And since they mention crosstalk issues this has to be analog.

The point is that I can find the performance I need for half the price.

The price of an M1 Pro it's not justified by a slightly faster CPU, no matter how low the power usage is.

I could understand 20% more, but not two times.

Total number of cases changes, yet for Delta the 1/3rd has been pretty much the same over time and over space (UK, Israel, Singapore, MA in US (they have good data)). For Omicron it seems much higher than the 1/3rd.

While it's obvious that within two years every GPU manufacturer is going to release MCM offering to the consumer market I'm surprised by a fact that Apple, of all companies, actually might deliver first consumer(actually more prosumer with their pricing) MCM GPU to the market. I think two M1 Max dies, if overclocked, actually can beat 3090 in most tasks and take performance crown if they release it this spring. Nvidia won't have a new GPU generation for nearly a year, same for AMD and Intel will probably shoot for performance crown only with Battlemage, which will probably be released in mid-2023.

Thanks for sharing this. Right now I know someone that is complaining of massive "white dust" thinking its coming from the ceiling (you know those fugly textured ceiling for soundproofing). While it COULD potentially generate dust, the level I have seen would make the ceiling dissapear within years, however due to nosebleed problems when dry, she uses humidifiers everywhere in the appartment. Since the heating dries up the place like crazy, she got ultrasonic humidifiers.

I never considered this but it would make sense, if you boil 1L of water out you end up with white stuff in the bottom once everything is dried out. Since nothing's left in the container when the ultrasonic is emptied, 1+1...

I don't know why this is flagged. People are way too rapid to dismiss stuff around here. Thanks for posting this!
Pity the poor sod who (for this fix) has to update from java 7 to java 8 only to find that he's on a version of spring which doesn't run on java 8 and then has to update spring first.

When one needs to respond without delay to an vulnerability being exploited in the wild, being up-to-date with other dependencies means that you need only pay attention to the one with the security flaw. Pay in small instalments over time or pay in one large hit (at the least convenient time, obviously...), but there is no avoiding it.

In an age where random code is downloaded from the internet on trust and included in projects on a whim without inspection, it's noteworthy that people don't use the very same features to keep aggressively up to date. (The reason is that the long-term benefit of doing so is not immediately obvious to the most influential stakeholders of a project.) Sic transit gloria mundi.
Such as a high end Ryzen, which eats the M1 for breakfast ? Sure.
Re. 3 & 5: my theory is that a language with gradual typing, gradual error handling enforcement, and "gradual proving" that is seamlessly embedded in it (see e.g. the https://nim-lang.org/docs/drnim.html experiment) could hopefully actually work here. And as to dynamic typing, I found it useful when prototyping, to quickly PoC/MVP the "happy path" of an idea/design, and see if it is worth investing any bigger effort, or just completely crap. Ideally I'd then (gradually) enable (or, "un-disable") statical typing, error handling enforcement, and formal proving. Question is, can anyone design & implement a language that would have all of that, and still be readable and understandable to a common programmer (like me).

It's not just marketing. Rust tools like Tokei and Ripgrep are lightning fast. It's partly because it compiles to native - that applies to C/C++ too, e.g. Git is "lightning fast" compared to Mercurial. But it's also because Rust lets you do multi-threading without going insane.
Yeah, I tend to force TERM to xterm or similar irrespective of the terminal. If a terminal can't handle the subset of xterm's behaviour that the apps I use rely on, I just won't use that terminal. It takes really little to make most apps work fine with TERM set to one of the common choices - I know, I hacked together a simple terminal to explore some things and getting most things running took a really small subset of mostly vt100.

They need to support the common subset anyway because a lot of software looks at terminfo and assumes "mostly vt100" no matter what.
I don't think it is. Neither in B2B and especially not in B2C. Although I think the consequences would mostly be worse for the customer, not the seller.

It hasn't really started yet, other than some discussions on IRC, but the TL;DR is on every other ARM64 system those features are handled by either a hypervisor or a supervisor, via special PSCI calls. These machines don't have the option for a supervisor (and no nested virtualization, so an under-OS hypervisor would preclude VMs). Rather than introducing a special snowflake driver for these machines, the current thinking is we can introduce some kind of third PSCI mechanism to make these calls into code set up by the bootloader (a la EFI runtime services), without switching to a higher privilege level. That means we need to define how all that would work first.
