Apple has an architectural license, which is why they are so insistent on calling them "Apple Silicon" in branding instead of ARM.

The only thing the Apple M1 has in common with ARM is the instruction set. The actual core design? Completely Apple. No Cortex X1s or A73s in there. Apple does use the stock ARM M3 in a few places IIRC but that's a very-low-power ~100mhz part for managing some internals.

Also, as for who can push the limits of ARM, Apple appears to know ARM better than ARM knows themselves. Both based on Apple's higher-performing core designs than ARM stock, and also because Apple cofounded ARM with VLSI and Acorn, and an Apple VP was the first CEO.

Edit: On that note, it's kind of ironic how every Android phone has the DNA of a company Apple cofounded and initially led.

A competent date picker? Sure. One that has doesn't function as expected, even slightly? Then no.

I like date pickers especially for when I need help deciding a date, e.g. when booking a haircut: I don't know exactly what day I want to go in, but I'll know it when I see it.

Date pickers are also useful for ranges of dates (although the UX for these is hit-and-miss), since it helps visualize duration nicely and always makes it easier to pick an end date.

I'm 50/50 when it comes to a date that I know, but usually, I'll prefer a ISO8601 input field for that.

Movement? It's a reddit. My favorite reddit, and the only reason I go to Reddit anymore. That is the problem and that's why the fear level of the elites (about unionization) is elevated enough to start running hatchet jobs on a forum.
Most important thing date picker helps is user doesn't need to understand required input format. Coz there is no standard format across apps and localities.
We also shipped torpedoes that didn't detonate reliably (Mark 14/15) for the first part of the war (1941-43).

Although that was more of a Bureau of Ordnance / Congressional fault, for insufficient interwar funding and testing.

Well no... they put a very fast (high refresh) gaming screen in a gaming laptop.

If you want QHD or 4K screens, they are out there. That's not... more than a Google away. So it's a really bad assumption to make.

> What should have been done is to have many more missions where these technologies can iteratively been proven so that once you head into a larger project you have some idea of whats gone happen.

And how much do those projects cost? And what value do we derive from lots of small iterative solutions?

> And you don't end up launching a telescope that already has 20 year old tech in it.

If you're launching iteratively, then either you're proving out the tech until it's decades old, or you're never making progress on your iterative approach because you're constantly replacing the thing you iterated on with the new hotness.

No, he's also talking about severe illness and death. He's saying that prior infection is a good substitute for the vaccine in preventing severe illness and death. The corollary being that we should consider "vaxed or prior infection" and "immunologically naive" as the two relevant groups (for mandates etc), not "vaxed" and "unvaxed".

Annoyance 3 -- or something very similar -- is going to be the case for any bluetooth headset. There simply isn't enough bandwidth in a bluetooth connection to have a high quality audio stream and a microphone stream going at the same time, so a bluetooth headset switches between high-quality-headphones and low-quality-headset modes. You can experience this in action by listening to music via a bluetooth headset then performing something which toggles them to headset mode (e.g. navigating to a Google Meet page or whatever).

I suspect there is a brief delay when switching modes, so the AirPods don't switch while actively playing anything. So immediately firing up some music before the AirPods switch back to headphone mode probably keeps them in headset mode.
It definitely depends on the shortcuts you take! e.g. if you run #1 and #2 with the same identity, you don't have to figure out how to make your ACLs work... but you're also breaking principle of least access :)
My preference was always to save the pedestrians. My decision tree is that the passenger made a choice to be in the device that may cause harm. Pedestrians did not. Therefore, all things being equal, save people who did not knowingly participate over people who did.
Conceptually, it needs to take in account the type of date it handles. The question to ask is “does it matter when in the week or a month a date is selected?” or similar.

Under these considerations, I can say that for a "well known" date, like a birthday, or an expiration date, where the context of the calendar doesn't matter, it's not needed, and probably undesirable. (Under these contexts I would use bare selects/inputs with one for each of YYYY/MM/DD.)

For an appointment, or a time span? Date pickers are useful. “Which days are mondays?” “I want to book from a monday to the friday the next week.” Raw controls won't provide the context to help the user.

I feel the ones you fight against are more than likely those where you already are aware of a precise moment, in the first scenario. The others are more likely to leave no impression if well done.

With that said: Always de-compose the date picker in their discrete parts that a user can use. Make the picker fill these.

Is there an issue at all here? A person who owns some stuff decided they didn't like something and left. That is their right. Another person is exercising their free speech. That is also their right, even when some people label it misinformation. There is a lot of drama in this thread, but none worth reading.
It's pretty stunning how consistently intense, passionate arguments get sanitized to mere disagreements in the popular imagination. You read about the Cross of Gold speech, where William Jennings Bryan declared that the gold standard is an enemy to humanity and whipped up a mob to cancel anyone who supported it, and it comes across as some kind of polite dispute.

Ahhhh that makes sense.

Yes, I hate when I see a date picker for birthday. I don't need to pick a date on birthday!

But when it's meeting or airplane ticket, it makes sense.

So, picker is good when you don't actually know the date yet.

OK, thanks!

Based on The Verge's article, this is the laptop that Intel is providing to everyone.
Yes, I do this, but I'm not sure if it is helpful to know since I work from a home office by myself. I sometimes have 4-5 movies or videos playing, 2 music sources, maybe a ham radio or two, all at once. But the movies are usually all silent except for one, and the music and radio volume is very low until I hear something I am interested in. I've been doing this on and off since about 2006.

Most people I talk to about it have the idea that it must be very difficult to focus, but I don't find it difficult to focus at all, and usually it makes work more pleasant, making productivity more sustainable. Sometimes it also directly helps in my work...

One rule that works best for me is that most of what's on screen has to be stuff I've seen before, or am only a little bit interested in. What about you?
What reputable chip analyst expects Intel's fabs catch up to TSMC in the next 3 years?
> his focus on raw performance makes sense when comparing desktop workstations but for laptops it misses the point and I hope it goes out of fashion.

> a cursory look suggests that laptop is also around $800 (AUD) more expensive than the (complete overkill for most) M1 it's comparing to, this is absolutely not a win.

Regarding both points, the i9 laptop they tested has a 3080Ti in it, which would account for both the price difference and power draw just on its own. Even in CPU-only tests just having the discrete GPU on will chew power.

The article is making a poor comparison here: The customer of the M1 Max is not going to be the same target customer of the MSI Raider series. These are not in any way comparable laptops. We'll have to see what happens when someone gets to test a business-targeted Dell or Lenovo system with the Alder Lake CPUs. The M1 will no doubt win the iGPU tests but power consumption will be a more interesting measure.
Exactly - his point is that more LOC is more visible and more likely to exert influence, even if less LOC is structurally better.
You’re correct that there is no proof of the security of SHA1. The existence of any one-way function would imply that P != NP.

And if it turns out that P = NP then it will turn out that most of the cryptographic guarantees we rely on today will be unrealizable on classical computers.

Quantum computers may not help us as it is currently unknown if quantum computers are more powerful than classical computers in terms of time complexity (it’s strongly suspected that this is the case though).

Vaccine side effects are less frequent and less severe that. Unvaccinated COVID side effects in all age cohorts. By a significant margin.

Myocarditis in particular is 8x more likely to occur with COVID vs the vaccine.

So, while an argument could be made that the risk of adverse reaction or death from COVID is too small to matter one way or the other in young people, it is not correct to say that the vaccine is more risky.

There is one exception I have seen in some data that myocarditis risk was roughly equal or slightly higher for young men of a specific age group who received the second dose of the moderna vaccine. But one could of course avoid that particular vaccine and still be better of vaccinated because that of course is only for myocarditis and the absolute risk is very tiny.

That depends on Google being both honest and accurate. Perhaps they have been so far, but my concern would be that a re-written title would cause quality content to get passed over by many viewers as undesirable/irrelevant because some algorithm misunderstood/misinterpreted what it was looking at, or because google wanted to subtly discourage people from content that competes or disagrees with whatever Google is attempting to promote.

In a better world, algorithms would be perfect and there would be a lot of healthy competition in search engines and google would be incentivized to provide users with the best possible results. In our current world Google's algorithm can't identify obvious spam well enough to keep it out of their results and there are no major search engines that haven't been lifting results from Google directly or indirectly and repackaging them as their own, so google has no pressure to do anything but promote whatever is in their own best interests or keep their results accurate and free of spam.
this is a specific limitation I'm imposing because it makes for an interesting problem, not because its meant to be optimal.

Australia is not a police state. Its a state with a complex federal structure which has concerns about broad-brush legislative change, but thats about boil-the-frog-slowly changes, which are being resisted in the senate.

We are not under martial law, or required to register with the police, or subject to wide-ranging arbitrary constraints.

We have temporary, government moderated, revokable restrictions under public health orders which have existed for decades. It is true that some lazy states sought to increase minister-directed powers but this didn't just slip through parliament.

Ask HN: Is a PWA Superapp/appstore viable?
Apple, Google and Microsoft who are platform gatekeepers seem to have a very tight hold on their app stores and levy app store fees although some of this is attracting antitrust/legal contests.

Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) came a few years ago and one of the features is the Add to Home Screen that adds the website as an icon on the device's home screen.

Much of the difficulty with PWAs comes from the poor user experience of installability across the major platforms with each one having its quirks and idiosyncrasies.

Is it possible to build a native app for the three platforms that wraps the standard PWA functionality and provide appstore like features such as Discoverability, Alternative payments etc., without falling afoul of the platform Terms of Use/Service?

I am thinking of a simple website (also a PWA) which links to other websites with categories, search etc., (discovery) and a native app that wraps that website content and providing a standard PWA installability experience (add to Home Screen).

Apple is rather good at planned obsolescence. Intel handed them a few years of unusable machines on a platter (thanks Intel) but I’m sure they’ll find new reasons for MacOS updates to degrade performance on old machines regardless of hardware capability.
Actually, their general position has aged very well and has been proven largely correct. They consistently recommended vaccination for the majority of people with perhaps a few very limited exceptions.

I know I'll get thumped for this. But, youtube is only de-facto a commons. its actually not the commons, its a contract-enforced space, with T&C and its about as far from "the public forum" that free-speech rights attach to as its possible to be.

Now, we can talk about how in practice these places are the only commons we have and sure, if you want to do that, we can talk about google, the monopoly, regulation of effective public spaces, free speech.

But its property. Its google's property. They can pay groundskeeper willie to yell "get off my lawn" and not be un-constitutional.

Intel normally releases lowest end chips first (maybe because it's easier to get volume of them because of binning) but this year flipped that so we all talk about the highest benchmark chips first. Yes, that means chips meant to be paired with dedicated GPU.

Gives one the impression these are the most favorable comparisons with some benchmarks better than Apple. Then when we get to the lower wattage chips Intel will be able to claim they have just as good power draw too.

I'm not sure they'd do that inversion if they knew their chips were overall better.
What I was really annoyed about was that Apple was trying to charge me above full price without the option to add AppleCare for the 'repaired' set. If any product needs AppleCare it's these.

Another issue I had (replaced under AppleCare) was the stem squeeze just completely failing in one of them. So many bugs and failures in one product.
