While the article is making some good points, I don't agree with the overall article or its conclusions. A lot of the arguments in the article made against brainstorming are what I would consider implementation failures.

The corollary to Production Blocking occurs when a person realizes that the supposedly crazy idea that they were holding on to themselves for fear of being judged is not as crazy as they thought it is when they hear another person in the room say the same thing. It might even build allies and consensus leading to offline collaboration outside of the brainstorming context.

Evaluation Apprehension is a real concern. If a brainstorming session is run well, the facilitator would have established the ground rules (no interruptions, no judgments etc.,) and would quickly bring any conflicting behavior to an end.

The most important benefit of brainstorming, imo, is the fact that introverts are not drowned out by extroverts or junior team members being overruled on the spot by experienced people. This is not a bug, it is a feature.

In many scenarios, the person who comes up with the idea is not the same one who implements it. For eg: an end user of a system, a software engineer, a product manager etc., Having a diverse group where individuals play different roles tends to bring out differing perspectives. If you can't bring them out in the open in the early stages of idea generation, you are clearly missing out.

Edward de Bono, the person who coined the term Lateral Thinking has developed a lot of tools for creative thinking. His book, Serious Creativity changed my mindset and taught me that creativity, the kind we use every day as opposed to artistic creativity like painting/acting etc., is something that one can practice everyday and get better at. One such method / tool that he developed is Six Thinking Hats. In the book, he goes on to explain that the underlying cause of perceived lack of psychological safety is the human brain's ability to get into conflicting thinking modes for eg: when one person is in creative mode, another person is in evaluation mode or what de Bono calls as Green Hat and Black Hat respectively. Much of his work in Six Thinking Hats is around getting the entire group in the same thinking mode, what de Bono calls as Parallel Thinking. Here's a nice video of him explaining some of the thinking processes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbsKQQGwsMg

Recognizing this (different thinking modes) is key to having a productive group brainstorm and avoiding pitfalls.
it's not confusing, though.

The point is obvious.

M1 is not more powerful due to a better design, but simply due to more modern manufacturing process.

Otherwise you would see a much larger gap in performance.
Ask HN: Do you listen to music/watch videos while working?
I always tend to listen to lot of music/watch videos while working, wondering if it's a common thing! Most of my colleagues and co-workers usually frown upon that. Wondering if anyone doing something had any issues with that?

Thanks for your time and advice!

Yeah, I've had excellent results with brainstorming (either group or individual) as well as poor results. It's a tool that has its place. If he had an alternative solution, well that'd be cool to try, but this concept of "Look! I have scientific evidence to say brainstorming doesn't work! Stop doing it!" without anything to replace it is just irritating.
And lockdowns, forced masking and vaccine passports aren’t a “regulatory and legislative challenge”? Really?

This is supposed to be an emergency, right? Give me a break. Covid specific healthcare capacity can easily be scaled up with the amount of resources we are pouring in this dumpster fire. Figure it out.
This is a perfect sign of what I’m talking about.

They fucked around with these people for so long that when they need them, actually need them, they aren’t there. They rolled the dice in an assumption that they held sufficient economic power to control them. Now they are left exposing patients to covid as a necessity to prevent their operations from completely ceasing.

That is failure by any other name.

They're also not purchased at the volumes that Macbooks are, I do think you're underestimating how well they hold their value. You picked an unfortunate laptop line to make your point, especially since this is in no way a recent phenomenon. I'm sure people chuck away their Macbooks instead of reselling them too.
I had one of the Apple ones and while it worked well the software was spotty there too. It tried to guess when the discrete was needed but turned it on far too often. Which quickly made it hot and killed the battery.

Since I rarely gamed I ended up using a 3rd party utility to force the discrete GPU off 98% of the time and the laptop was much better for it.

I understand why Apple did that (power draw when GPU on) and why they gave up (didn’t work well at all).
I would guess that carries to other batteries as they are easy to fake and hard to detect.

California proposed an identical law but replaced abortion with certain types of gun, the Texas governor said it was an unconstitutional attack of gun ownership.

The idea that you can make a law that explicitly says “you can’t use the unconstitutionality of the law as a defense” and that isn’t immediately tossed out clearly demonstrates the the republicans on the SC are biased. Hell the most recent appointee said she considers the Bible to be more important than the constitution and that she puts her faith ahead of the law (she said all judges should do that)
Sorry, but none of us are entitled to the economic options we desire. You can pick what works best for you or create another option.

This is an emergency. Find a way. It isn’t fair to blame the public and then force them into some dystopian “new normal” for years because a bunch of highly paid people can’t figure out how to fix emergency Covid hospitalization capacity.

If somebody says it isn’t possible, fire them and find somebody who can figure it out. It’s a fucking emergency, remember? It’s completely possible. Saying otherwise is an excuse. Figure it the fuck out.

Zero excuses.

(Or the more simple answer is there actually isn’t a problem with hospital capacity because otherwise we’d have fixed it. You know… because it is something that could be fixed… with money alone)
I bought my 2013 MacBook Pro with a 1TB SSD and 32GB of RAM, with the highest specced i7 at the time.

I sold it last month to pick up a new 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Max. I bought it with 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD because I don't need anymore, 8 years later. And the i7 I had still beat out last years base model on Geekbench.
Yes basically 95% of PC monitors are < 100 DPI.
Precisely. ARM has traditionally had issues scaling it's clock speed even when given ample cooling and power, history suggests that the only way they'll significantly improve performance is with new fab technology, engineering a better design, or expanding horizontally (eg. adding more cores).
Don’t they have their own new GPU that people expected them to announce around now but got “delayed”?
Related (because I do believe in brainstorming) - I've found brainstorming works best when

A) Individuals brainstorm on their own before a group session. Group sessions should be for sharing the best ideas, identifying common themes, and for providing more inspiration for others in the group.

B) Individuals should set an extremely high requirement for the number of ideas they come up with. Coming up with 10 ideas for you or your team is easy - I bet most people here could do it in the next 5 minutes. Coming up with 100 ideas is hard. You end up not only getting more conventional ideas but writing down some things that are just plain absurd. Oftentimes the absurd or stretched ideas can lead you to something you wouldn't have thought of otherwise.
I'd be very curious to hear more about the Walt Disney method and particularly that concept of psychological safety, if you don't mind expounding.

The M-series GPUs are pretty great for what they are. I haven't tried a ton of games on it, but my 16" M1 Pro handles WoW about as well as a desktop with an RTX 2070 or so, and does it without the machine turning into a jet turbine. It's not destroying discrete video cards or anything, but it's universes beyond your typical integrated offering.
M1 Max has a cross-die interconnect they photoshopped out of the marketing die shots, so I fully expect Apple to ship dual-Max configs on the Pro.

(Also, RIP one of the most tinkerer-friendly Mac configs in a very long time.)
Your understanding is correct, for the most part. Supposedly the new Xe graphics aren't all that bad, but I haven't used them enough to know for sure. AMD's still the king for iGPU performance, and Nvidia (as usual) takes the dGPU performance crown.

Regardless of the minutia of the numbers, the recommendation to get vaccinated regardless of whether you have had COVID in the past or not is based on the fact that a very high number of people in the US and worldwide "think" they probably had covid but aren't entirely sure because they never got tested. The vaccine for everyone is easier and cheaper from a public health standpoint than to have people taking serology tests that may or may not be accurate and then waiting for the results in order to find out if you should get the vaccine or not. When the fact is, even if you were previously infected, you will be even better off getting vaccinated.
Not to defend corporations, but they do. It’s repeatedly drilled down in you to reach out to the legal dept. That said companies care a lot about the legality of things and not necessarily the morality. And they hire people who would “get things done”.

2 watts total? I doubt it. The display is a major drain. I went down this rabbit hole years ago and on a 2012-vintage X220 with an i7 I could get it down to just under 6W with the display on minimum brightness, the wifi and Bluetooth off, and a host of configuration options including but not limited to what's available through Powertop and TLP.

I'm sure it's better than 5W and change nowadays but the display is by far the biggest draw and I don't think you'll get down to 2W.

That pretty much sums up what I've seen so far. A lot of differing ideas about what defending the police means where the most extreme voices (abolish the police for example) offer zero explanations on how a society can get by without any law enforcement or why their alternatives would fair any better while more moderate takes deal solidly with reforming the system that we have.

I do get the frustrations expressed by those taking the more extreme view, but it comes off as more of an emotional outburst than a path forward. It's understandable to be frustrated and outraged enough to want to abolish policing entirely at this point, but it's also not constructive or helpful.

The good thing is that everybody is pretty clear on what the problems are, but I fear that those seeking radical/counterproductive changes to society like getting rid of police entirely will hold back the rest of us either by rejecting anything that doesn't burn the justice system to the ground, or by convincing others that there's no hope in reformation of what we have today while offering no actual solutions leading people to feel helpless and defeated at a time when the message people need is "Change is possible and necessary, we just need to insist on it and work to make it happen"
It’s an emergency, remember?. It doesn’t need to be perfect. It’s an emergency, remember?

Find ways to make it work. Fire the naysayers. Figure it out.

Or alternately accept there never was a problem with healthcare capacity because if there was, we’d have demanded it to be fixed already. Because any reasonable person can state it can and should be fixable. Problem is too many people lost their mind and forgot what it meant to be reasonable.
There's not an example for us to try out on that page? That's cruel.

a two month "wait" is... fairly normal. I've been charged for a starlink device, been waiting over a year for any update whatsoever, as an example. I pre-order a lot of esoteric devices, and usually they just show up whenever the company gets done. The only times i've been burned is when i order stuff from another country that isn't electronic, I've probably lost about $100/yr for the last half decade or so on orders like that. The UK seems to be the least bad about this, but everywhere else i just assume when i submit payment i'm "burning" that money.

"communicate more" might be easy to armchair project manage, but one of the reasons i won't do a startup is i don't want to deal with customers. A couple of bad actors can ruin your reputation with no way to recover it. I was banned from paypal because someone in NYC said we never shipped a $150 textbook, but oddly, they never ordered another one! I had been using paypal (and ebay) for about a decade prior to that with no complaints or issues, as well.
It honestly depends on the benchmarks you're using. Dave2D posted multicore Cinebench scores[0] the other day that compared M1 Max to this same laptop, and it was really a blowout.

Apple's foiree into ARM has been going better than it could have gone, but recommending an ARM chip still comes with several asterisks, which make it kinda hard to recommend for people who don't make a living out of reading/writing words on a screen and highly specific creative work that may-or-may-not benefit from the architecture of the chip. Regardless, they've got their work cut out for them, and it should be interesting to see how Apple responds.

For sure, it's not honorable to beat M1 Max (or M1 Pro, as they share exactly the same CPU part) at high wattage. I am genuinely curious if someone can verify the 35w-case (see https://www.zdnet.com/article/ces-2022-intel-says-it-has-a-m...).

Also, it may derail: it seems that we could never have all good things at the same time:

1. Apple and NVIDIA: previously, what do you expect when two control freaks meet? And now Apple has its in-house GPU, we will never see an all-around Mac anyway.

2. Even if Intel makes M*-like chips, its customer (OEMs) won't afford it anyway: 200 GB/s memory for CPU is simply server grade (e.g., the memory bandwidth is like Xeon Sapphire Rapids'), too expensive for consumer use.

Details RE p.s.?
A couple points:

- The guide was mostly written before that was possible

- Many servers are slow to update to newer distro versions with newer openSSH versions. I still need to access at least one server which can’t support it yet. (And just one which doesn’t support it forces me to use the GPG approach so that it’s the same key everywhere.)

- the guide also tells you to use the new approach if it’s available to you :)

- GPG is still used for some other things, like signing git commits
For one, the only power numbers in this article are from a benchmark where the i9-12900hk has a 29% performance advantage (and the power numbers weren't even measured under controlled conditions using consistent methodology). Second, you can't extrapolate from the numbers in the article to a fair comparison, since performance scaling with extra power is non-linear. You must compare the systems at iso-power or iso-performance, or even compare them over the whole power/performance range.

Probably a more fair comparison of the architectures will be between the M1X and the i7-1280p, since they have similar power specs. It wouldn't surprise me if the M1X comes out on top since it's on a superior process node (TSMC 5nm vs Intel 7) and on-chip memory is faster, but I think they'll definitely be comparable.
When I first got my M1 air I had it charged all the way and then had to put it aside for a few days. It wasn’t plugged in.

I came back and it had lost like 3%. My Intel Mac it replaced would have used up most of not all of its battery.

And that’s to say nothing of the crazy battery life in use.

"If you disagree with someone, you need to get into the arena with them and criticise what they say and debunk it."

This is the challenge Dennis Prager often offers to young college students in his audience. It is comically grotesque to see a senior professional debater and speaker take joy when he shuts down a young nervous challenger. Sure, you and I can think of quick responses, in the same way when we watch a boxing match and can see where the challenger made a mistake. But in a real life arena most of us would probably take a beating when matched against a pro.

A sincere debate can be had when one is willing to steel-man the other's argument but that's not an option when being right and winning is your opponent's brand.
Is there an interactive demo? I searched but could not find one. It would be very helpful to get a feel for how it works and appears.

> As an individual, it's really the numbers around the ratio of unvaccinated individuals in hospital / ICU consuming resources unnecessarily and therefore depleting them for the rest of us unnecessarily that's maddening.

I think I'm failing to make this clear enough. I'll try again.

The set of unvaccinated people is made up of those with a prior infection (call them R for recovered) and without (call them N for naive). And for simplicity, we'll keep the vaccinated variable to a binary, yes or no. So you have vaccinated with a prior infection (VR) and vaccinated without (VN).

When you say unvaccinated you are talking about R + N. We have data from the CDC that says R and VN were at roughly equivalent risk of hospitalizatiom during delta, and VR was a little bit better. N was by far the worst, and is who you actually mean when you talk about the people disproportionately filling up the hospitals. Because that's what the CDC is saying, that members of R, VR, and VN were all showing up in the hospitals at a similar much lower rate, and N was in a different universe.

You wouldn't know this unless you specifically asked yourself the question and went looking for the answer, because so far it has gotten very little air time. So it's not surprising that you and lots of other people are not aware. I'm only aware because I happen to be a member of R, and so this is important to me. It sucks living in a world where lots of people think its fine to lump me in with N, and advocate for taking away my livelihood and freedom of movement.

Saying "the unvaccinated are clogging up the hospitals" is like saying "I don't like Mexican food" when really you just don't like spicy peppers. You may avoid some burn that way, but now you're missing out on the rest of the cuisine, and you've failed to equip yourself with the knowledge to avoid the Indian or Thai dishes that will destroy you (because you think it's just the Mexican part that matters, not the spicy ingredients).

Does that make sense?
