If I'm reading this right, it's saying that when M1 Max is at peak performance (at 35W), the I9-12900HK is beating this performance while at the same wattage.

I'm a bit skeptical this is true

> x86 has its roots in the PC, which was an open and relatively standardised platform.

x86 was and is proprietary (ARM's ISAs and designs are as well). The wider x86 platform is somewhat standardized, but that doesn't mean it's open any more than Apple computers using Thunderbolt or PCI or USB or DDR standards mean they are open.
> fundamentally there's no obvious reason why getting food at a restaurant needs to cost more than getting food at home

You're assuming the only thing that contributes to costs is the raw material. In reality, there's raw materials, labor, rent/mortgage on the space, taxes, and other costs including your initial investment and constant upkeep. Combine all of these and making a Sandwich at home is almost 100% cheaper (even if you shop at Whole Foods and only eat organic).

And comparing it with other countries is not exactly Apples to Apples comparison. In India or Singapore, almost all businesses cheat on taxes, labor is overexploited (more than the US), there's limited licensing or health oversight, and ingredients can get downright questionable. Those help a lot with lowering costs, but not feasible in US. (Or rather only McDonalds can achieve to some degree)
It really wouldn't make any sense if it weren't? as by raw power the previous gen was already more powerful right?
I am Jewish and I have a Jewish cousin who thinks more stupid things.
Jews are out to get us! And they have been trying to do so since Moses! They want to sacrifice people for gods because gods like the smell of burning blood!

Last time I met this person was 2 years ago. He was obsessed with Trump. Back then I thought in 10-15 years he is gonna be into many conspiracy theories but this time i met him he sounded completely insane.

And I hate that for this guy everyone is saying its because he is rich. There is plenty of dumb conspiracies that people in the US are believing en masse across all classes and ages. Its sad that we can just sit around and do nothing.

10GB/s is about the most you can expect from a 100G NIC (I know line rate is 12.5) and AWS makes you buy the whole machine if you want 100G so maybe they don't need all those cores.
This is hilarious. Someone was trying to take over your account and you're pissed at Google. Turning on MFA and attaching it to the threat actors device is the first step in ransoming your account.

Get a clue and use MFA for everything. It's 2021 and you're on a tech site for crying out loud...
Yeah, what the author is going through is extremely sad, but unfortunately I too found the piece quite superficial.

The concept of the "afterlife" is far from universal, in space as well as in time (it has a documented history that begins in Ancient Egypt).

Even in the modern Western world, where it used to dominate, it is now disappearing fast. That would be inexplicable if it was part of how the human brain works.

I think we could better face things if we loved ourselves more as when we do that our desire to attack others goes down and our desire to make things goes up. Just something that I picked up in getting my ADHD under control.
Is the brain an apparatus which produces consciousness and physically stores information or one which connects consciousness to meat and senses? Or both and more?

Also is this thing we’re looking at information or is it the essence of perceiving and differentiating?

Where exactly is it? In molecules in physical space? Neuron configuration and firings - signal patterns distributed in time? Spontaneous, responding to environment, a combination or more?

I don’t know the answers, these are questions I find myself curious about after exposure to different viewpoints and experiences.
Not an archeologist, but isn't most of what we find pretty sharply split between everyday stuff that was frozen in time or left behind in an unplanned catastrope (Anasazi, Pompeii, etc), and then the formal, intentional records left in tombs and so on?

I know both pieces are important, but the intentional record of some ruler tells you more about their ego than what everyday life was like.

I expect that even if we were all snuffed out tomorrow, there would be loads of our record remaining 1000+ years from now— both the intentional efforts like seed vaults, time capsules, stacks of hard copy documents sealed in safes, but also the enormous presence of all kinds of plastic, which even divorced from context would still give myriad insight into what daily life was like at the start of the 21st century.
I think there's a lot of grey area for what "style" is, but e.g. formatting and what not is pretty easy and not-contentious in my experience. Most people want consistency more than they want their way.

How I did it as part of a ~35 person dev team was adopt one of the popular ones from the community (e.g. Google's) - treat it as a benevolent dictator. Apply it to the entire code base in one giant shot (disrupting any pull requests that were in flight but fixing them proactively), then enforce it with tooling. Leave the door open to anyone who disagrees with the defaults. It's on them to propose the change with rationale then put it to a quick majority vote with a subset of the team. I think 2 things have actually changed since the very beginning (line length from 80 -> 120 and something else that I don't remember right now).

When something changes, making a sweeping change is part of accepting it - if it's too risky/disruptive then it has to be very valuable to do.
Sure they will: The people who call out the BS.
Yeah I've never heard of him but saw that he was retired as CEO and wondering how old he is. Could be a sign of dementia or Alzheimers. Something has gone wrong in his head.
Better perspective may be to take comfort in the fact that should you fall on real hard times, you ideally have a support system that's more than capable of helping you out.

I have a few richer friends and while I would never take advantage, we know that if the worst were to happen, we could turn to each other for help.
There are definitely some tech folks and companies that have moved from the west coast to Miami. I feel like in the beginning of the pandemic lots of VCs made noise about moving to Miami, and I know some crypto companies have opened up offices and HQs there. I still live in California but have family in the Miami metro and from here it seems like the overall tech scene there is fledgling at best. It hasn't hit critical mass yet. It's definitely better than 2 years ago, but still not anywhere near the Bay Area, Seattle, New York or even smaller hubs like Austin, Utah, Portland Boulder or Atlanta.
What an absurd posture. HN is full of people endlessly harping about the shitty quality of free, ad supported SEO-rigged mill content that sucks, but then a site that allows often hard working creators to ask for very modest donations so that you can view their material is labeled as "exclusive" and implicitly elitist. The people who try to make some money on Patreon don't owe any special favors to children without credit cards or to people in other countries without applicable payment methods at their disposal. They owe themselves a living, and their sponsors a decent presentation, nothing more. There are still plenty of free alternatives out there, instead of harping about one person hoping to earn some money for all the work they put into their videos/creativity.
Can someone explain to me why they are mad? Is it because Mozilla is asking for donations on Twitter? Or it it because Mozilla is accepting crypto?

I don’t think a company accepting crypto as a form of donation is a bad thing tbh. Seems like they’re just trying to allow more people to donate.
To me this may imply a sort of built-in "failsafe" against political and economic hegemonies that is a part of human nature. This may be useful to ensure that political systems do not last forever so at least some part of humanity is able to explore alternate ways to construct and operate societies.
One person one vote got us the current mess of bad choices in federal Senate elections. The choices suck and are effectively controlled by insider power brokers and lobbyists.

> I think this is an excellent example of why people get so excited about Rust. It can't do anything you can't do in C or C++, but it makes a whole bunch of things significantly easier and less stressful. Which makes maintenance easier, and in practice often leads to performance improvements because more ambitious designs can be attempted.

For most people Rust is just overkill, what I really want is secure subset of c++, enforced by compiler with hardened standard library(that is sanctioned by standard body, might be not 100% compatible with generic one, because it contains only a subset of functionality and some functions might work differently).
Well HR and universities are going to you know actually do their damm job and make adjustments
Yes definitely. Objectively less stuff _can_ happen to you - for example, you could write an insane racist rant and then still be rich!
It's good that there are more alternatives, this seems like it might be a lighter weight alternative compared to MinIO.

Still, I wish Azure just added a built-in compatibility layer, like virtually every other cloud provider - I'm not a big fan of having to spin up a container just for this reason.
There's also the linguistic thing.

In English, verbal reference to "1999" was "nineteen ninty-nine". But "2000" was "two thousand" rather than "twenty-aught" or "twenty-oh-oh".

There's an interesting aside here, the ephochal 1968 science fiction film classic Stanley Kubrick / Arthur C. Clarke collaboration 2001: A Space Odyssey was conceived as "twenty-oh-one" as I recall,[1] but came to be referred to largely as "two thousand and one". Whether this was simply due to the same psychological / verbal awkwardness of "twenty oh-one" or itself shaped subsequent usage I'm not sure.

I do note that the years in the span 2000--2009 are typically referred to in my experience as "two thousand one ... two thousand nine", but from 2010 onwards, the pattern is far more typically "twwenty ten", "twenty eleven", ... "twenty twenty-two", etc. There seems to be a similar pattern for the span between the years 999 and 1010 at least that I'm aware: "nine ninety-nine", "one thousand", "one thousand one", ... "one thousand nine", "ten ten", "ten eleven", ...

If I can nerd-snipe anyone into tracing what usage, patterns, history, and psychology of millennial-decade-span verbal year references are and why ... well, I'm sorry, I guess?[2]

This is just a new combination of old toys.

"Depopulation via vaccine" is standard Alex Jones rhetoric.

"Jews rule the world" is as old as time itself.

A + B gives you whatever this guy is on.
No conspiracy, but I think we are seeing the results when the professional class gets to rule. And I think its turning out bad.

Imagine if you were forced to follow the advice of you Doctor, Lawyer, and your Teacher every hour of the day. They all might mean well for you. But its turning out that its gets pretty bureaucratic and despotic very fast.

But on the other hand, if a super villain wanted to rid the world of people, an anti vaccine might be one way to do it.

Why would 'play' hang off of the (presumably static) "MusicPart" then, rather than, "Player", "Musician", "Composition", etc?

Anyone that is in a situation that is trying to establish new relationships with people and understand each other emotions during so in as contentious a situation as figuring a new person out would have found a mask hugely inhibiting.

That's what I suspected - that it would pretty much be guaranteed to not to be needed however I was not able to find any historical UNIX lore mentioning it specifically. Cheers.
I have an M1, M1 Pro, and Core i7-12700K on my desk. The Intel part is the fastest on single and multi-threaded workloads I care about, and it does not come with the rosetta nonsense that makes it difficult to manage your compilers and libs on macOS. It does come with a different kind of nonsense, namely that Linux doesn't know what to do with the efficiency cores of the Intel part, so you have to either disable them or manually manage process and IRQ placement. Oh, and I can put however much memory and SSDs into the PC as I can afford, unlike the Macs.

Currently using the M1 mini as a display head with VSCode connected to the PC over Thunderbolt, as a backend. Seems like the best of worlds. M1 Pro is probably going to get sold.
I think you can start college pretty much at any age as long as you don't already have a degree. It's obviously a huge luxury to do so, but I think you're missing out on so much social and intellectual development if you do college now that it may be worth holding out for 3 years (or maybe more). I'm not saying that college now is completely worthless, but looking from the outside and listening to what students are saying, it seems severely diminished.
I cannot disagree more. There is a simple principle in life: we must cooperate to survive. The moment we subsidize people getting something for free it materially changes motivation to work, which is a slow but fatal death. Free doesn’t exist. Everyone must earn their keep.
>it is our western society and leaders that made this choice for us because our olds own all the power

This is true right up until one is old enough to vote. One of the most frustrating realizations as I've gotten older (I graduated during the great recession too) is that younger people don't vote while older people do. Most of what you listed could be fixed or at least vastly improved if younger demographics actually bothered to address issues that impact them, because older people certainly do.

- Expensive housing could be addressed by younger voters pressing their local council to permit more units. Instead we have wealthy and older people pressing for the opposite.

- Starter jobs/salary etc. could be helped if younger people pressed their politicians to update minimum wage/paid leave etc. Yet we don't.

- Healthcare etc. could be universal, instead it's only universal for people of a certain age (read: the demographic that votes).

I get that not all issues are solvable by young people, and pinning all their issues on them isn't productive, but there's so much that could be improved if they simply looked after themselves the way older people do.

Indeed.

Moral arguments for war are bankrupt and disguise the truth.
I liked the Bill Burr take on this 'vaccine is to wipe us out' conspiracy.

The better logic is this invisible hand would not want to wipe out the vaccine takers as they are the 'sheeple' who are controlled. These powers would want to remove the trouble makers, the people that dont do what they are told. So a more likely conspiracy is the secret plan would be to release a second virus to kill the non-vaxed once the sheeple are vaxed.

Obviously this is a joke but it's a good spin to present to people that believe in the conspiracy of vaccination.

Show HN: I make $3K/mo from a browser extension
Hey I recognize this Strongbad song.

Everybody to the limit! The cheat is to the limit! Everybody FJCVTZS!
Hello HN,

I see another post sharing their success micro startups today on HN so I thought I should share mine.

I started working on this browser extension for Twitter 8 months ago.

It took 3 months to reach $60/mo, 3 more to reach $400/mo, and 2 more to reach $3K/mo – where I am now.

When I start, I had 0 followers on Twitter. When it reaches $400/mo, I quit my job. I now live freely from corporate drama and travel as much as I can while building products I love.

I share my entire journey publicly on Twitter and my newsletter, including revenue, stats, product launch process, and marketing strategies, etc.

I just want to say that opportunities are everywhere, and it's never easier to start a profitable micro startup to sustain yourself and live an independent life.

Cheers!
I think technology may serve as a liability here.

There are stories around the net of people forgetting to reset the "deadman switch" on their solution, and their contacts are supplied with an errant death notice.

Have you considered low/no tech solutions?

Along with a living will (should you become incapacitated,) access to account passwords may assist your family/friends in taking care of your estate when you are unable.

It could be as simple as providing a password list in a sealed envelope to someone you trust to serve your best interests, should their assistance be required

A lawyer may also be willing to provide this service to you
Yeah, my guess would be mental illness.

We can say "what person is saying is very wrong" simultaneous with tryign to point that person towards medical care.

Mocking someone for bad behavior could have some upside (e.g., maybe it discourages them and others from doing the same). But if we imagine mocking someone with a debilitating illness, that image of ourselves should make us reconsider.
> However, I do not believe (mentally?) healthy people below a certain age ponder their mortality every single night.

Then you are wrong, depending on how you define healthy and what age you're thinking about. Both myself and a close friend used to ponder our own mortalities frequently as adolescents. I still do ponder my lack of existence after death, though not as often. The reason is mostly that I have less free time on my hands because I have to work. Not a tradeoff I'm happy with.

That was two decades ago and neither of us would be considered (abnormally?) unhealthy, either mentally or physically. Also worth noting we met a decade ago, so neither of us spurred the other.
They are called children for a reason. It's adult's responsibility to look out for them because they are not grown up enough to fend for themselves.

We adults have been failing them miserably and we should be ashamed of ourselves.

The audacity to tell them that they should bargain with us for their future. Unbelievable.
If you want to learn more about this, read up on 'continuous deployment'. I remember when I was first exposed to it it seemed dangerous/scary but with the right culture changes it can work really well; lots of companies do it.
> Schools DO increase parent productivity, and that's one among many positive features of a school. It's not a bad thing!

It certainly isn't. What I'm saying is that:

- Your repeated statement that "Schools increase parent productivity" is far from proven in the first place (see the point about summer, which is not consider a major 'productivity hit' event at most companies, unlike Christmas or Thanksgiving).

- And even if it were true, it's an incidental factor, and not one that is planned for.

> ...if there's an immediate justification using even very reductive capitalist thinking then it should be easy to build a consensus.

Sure. All I'm saying is that the consensus which you're talking about should emerge from first principles, and should not just happen to fall close to "schools should stay open as usual, disregarding the pandemic sweeping the nation". If schools do indeed have a measurable effect on parental productivity, then the consensus could look like companies being required to enter into a profit sharing arrangement with all the schools of their employees' children.

OAuth helps but it still forces you to rely on a single central provider as your "root". So it's not a complete solution.
