I have two of these. They are plagued with bezel cracking, uniformity, and other issues.
Multilateral agreements as part of a peace settlement are their most likely way out of the economic pain they're in now—removal of sanctions and normalization of relations with the West part of the peace agreement. I agree that their long term prospects, having blundered so badly, are now dim, but I think if they can get the right concessions out of Ukraine they'll still have salvaged a lot of their immediate goals from launching the war (probably at far too high a cost for it to have been worth it, yes, but at least it won't be a complete failure) and be in a decent position to realize further expansion before the end of their fossil fuel fortunes arrives.
Banning RT was stupid anyway, and makes very very little difference
I always think of the ratio of 90% consume, 9% contribute, and 1% create. This is a phenomenon on wikipedia, GitHub, twitter, and other places.

The big question is...what side do you want to be on?

The problem is that if you or your family have a history of schizophrenia, psychedelics can make things much, much worse. But so can ADHD stimulants.
Can someone expand on this statement (from the top answer, last paragraph):

"Since indices are only used to speed up the searching for a matching field within the records, it stands to reason that indexing fields used only for output would be simply a waste of disk space and processing time when doing an insert or delete operation, and thus should be avoided."

Specifically "indexing fields used only for output", what does this mean? I interpreted it as "indexes used only for `select` statements", but that would see completely counter to the main reason you'd want an index e.g. to speed up record retrieval.
Do you have a source for "most supported the US"? This was your original claim and you also haven't posted a source for it.
Russia literally put a list naming every EU country and others as unfriendly yesterday

I think a prerequisite for having a discussion is recognizing exactly what this is: it's an illegal war of aggression, per the determinations of Nuremberg trials, it is a war of conquest to expand borders. That's what Putin has done, and it's consistent with his revanchist speeches since 2008 in which he pines for the glory days of the USSR, and apparently he wants to be viewed as one of The Great Tsars. The invasion is a violation of the U.N. Charter, the Geneva Convention, and Budapest Memorandum, all of which Russia is a party to, but Putin tore all that up two weeks ago. What reason is there to think he'd honor any agreement at all?

But if you don't agree with any of that, then there needs to be a pre-discussion to decide what we're even talking about, before there could be a discussion on de-escalation.

Assuming you do agree, then I think it's clear having NATO combatants in Ukraine is untenable. NATO is strictly a defensive organization, and in order to maintain any credibility that it's not a threat to Russia, unless Russia attacks a NATO country first, NATO can't get involved directly. I also think the language has improved, blaming Putin rather than Russia. There's a strong inclination in nation-state systems to blame countries more than heads of state, to indicate the responsibility of the nationals and their stake in the decisions of their leaders. I don't think that's effective this time.

We should continue pinning the blame on Putin. The problem and risk is, how to communicate there is no way back for him without it sounding like regime change, even though that's what's necessary? Putin and his stooges want Cold War 2.0, and that is not in the interest of literally anyone else. The first stage of getting there? Ukraine has to win this war. It's increasingly looking like there's only one way for Putin to win, and that's to do a Chechnya+Allepo style obliteration - hundreds of thousands of dead per day. He absolutely will do it.

Question is how to stop it. You can't really say wars of conquest are wrong, and then say to the bully, "well here's 1/4 of our country you can have if you stop obliterating the rest." Because the war monger has already reneged on past agreements of utmost international importance. If you give him 1/4 now to save 3/4's, he just comes back for more later, and you tacitly said that this is the on-going deal. This is how we avoid nuclear war? Bullies get what they're asking for, in the end? Really? That's the end of the U.N. Charter and puts us right on the path to WW3.

We cannot have countries using threat of nuclear bombs in order to commit atrocities with conventional weapons, and wage wars of expansion.

Confidence is a gender-specific codeword. And there are dozens of these codewords which in cis-gender subcultures communicates far more than the members of the other gender subculture can appreciate unless they are fairly perceptive.

Confidence in the case of (traditional) women is a strange one. Women are almost universally insecure. Anyone that looks at beauty magazines can see the underlying direct psychological manipulation they represent.

Men value women more on absolutes (appearance) than women do, which is why arbitrary measures such as social graph relations like like "that guy has a lot of women that talk about him, so I find him attractive", they use dress and other indirect indicators to guess social status and wealth more than even if you outright tell them positions or wealth numbers.

What a woman means by a "confident" man is that dating the man makes THEM feel less insecure and more confident. It represents another indirect emotional measure of a man's status and wealth, likely because the group dynamics we evolved in resulted in insecure men actually not being able to provide/defend/protect mates and offspring.

Of course those indicators vary substantially by culture and individual. Of course those individuals don't understand that their personal choices aren't universal (much like men with a distinct type often are mystifying by men being attracted to appearance features they abhor).

Men are often perplexed by the confidence vs arrogance angle. I believe this is another fine-tuned evolutionary sense, where arrogance implies lack of faithfulness/devotion to offspring in the long run, and implies that, while they may be able to dominate socially, it is an unstable one. It may also be intuition that they are faking true confidence aka the ability to dominate resources.

I don't have much to say on the monitor, but that experience reminded me that Apple's web design sensibilities are atrocious.
My mistake. I meant physiological harm. Will edit.

Edit: cannot edit any longer. While I do not think they do cause psychological harm in the long term (I think they force confrontation with buried psychological issues in order to transcend them), they most certainly can cause short term psychological distress and issues for people unprepared, approaching with the wrong mindset, or using in an otherwise problematic set or setting.
You’re not going to get any answers in the morning ask at night when serious people are lurking.
I think from a design perspective, this is the most disappointing Apple release so far. It's just way too tall, imo. There's a lot of empty space on the front which just seems odd.

I'm not exactly sure what they could've done to keep the Mac Mini footprint, but this ain't it.
This is actually really cheap. Maxed out at £7999 is less than half the price of an HP Z with similar numbers configured in which it probably can’t even get near the mac.

And it doesn’t need $1000 wheels.
And they acknowledge that at the very end of the event with "Mac Pro ... that is for another day" or so. It's coming and the Studio is not supposed to be it.
No whataboutism, please.

It is our access to media that is being repressed.

We no longer have access to media that we used to. WE are losing a free and open society, not the Russians.
It wasn't the US's intervention that succeeded in making it a "non communist" state, so the US failed in its objectives. Just because eventually Vietnam itself decided what path it wants to take doesn't mean, it was because of US.

US is perceived more favourably than China because their war with China was more recent and they have active disputes with PRC threatening island territories in South China sea.

Moreover, US has massive influence in terms of their media and their brands, something which China still doesn't match. Same reason even South Korea has massive appeal in Vietnam.

The problem is that you can have a not-ok opinion and still be a good person who has a positive effect on the world, but we have no tolerance for that. We demand public perfection.
The intervention in Yugoslavia was possibly most well-justified military campaign in my lifetime, even more-so than the liberation of Kuwait.
Yeah but LED strips are less efficient in general. The appeal of the COB systems is that they have high Lumen / Watt ratios, drawbacks are the intensity and of course the cooling. I had some smoldered plexiglass from these COBs as the heat darkened it and the darker it got the more heat it absorbed. Pretty dangerous, so I also tend to use more smaller lights nowadays.
Doesn't seem it would be an issue worth discussing except in the marketing department of twitter if the media would get over their addiction to sitting at their computers and interpreting the world through tweets they see posted. There's no good reason why Twitter should be considered the default human communication medium but this "silent majority" is only seen as an aberration because of this assumption that Twitter is where one should go when seeking a representative sample of society. There's also a silent majority of people who don't use tiktok but no one outside of tiktok thinks that's a problem.
Indict, but you're right. The international community has egg on its face from how it is treating Russia vs. how it is not treating Saudi Arabia.

The parallels with the Saudi-Yemen war are many: it's an invasion of a neighboring country in the middle of a civil war under the pretense of stamping out problematic elements that has had a lot of collateral damage. Yet the Saudis get to continue being a member of the United Nations and benefit from their close alliance with the United States.

Don't get me wrong, I think that Russia's punishment is both justified and fair. I just think that it's absurd that they're getting hit with the bat when the Saudis have done the same thing in our very recent past and have faced no real consequences.
So an M1 max is not... max anymore (>_<)
> I'm just genuinely curious how international relations work in a case like this where one guys just invades other countries.

The lawyers answer is relevant here: It depends.

Is the illegal attacker the US or a major NATO partner? Nothing much happens.

Is it an attack between third-world-countries? Noone really cares.

Is the attacker a major opponent of "the West"? Well, we're seeing this play out right now.
Yes its been 77 years now. I wouldn't expect normalization after mass murder and threatening to nuke everyone next year or in the next 10.
Finally an AR coating on a monitor without the grainy sparkly look! I bought 3 highly rated monitors last year and returned all but one because the anti reflective coatings were visually distracting and made the screen look dirty and unsharp. The one I kept still has the effect, but to an “acceptable” degree relative to the others and I was tired of returning monitors.

Hopefully other manufacturers will follow suit - or at least start releasing glossy monitors as an option, for people who don’t want to view things through an ugly grainy sparkly coating.
I realize that as a staunch Linux user I'm not in their target demographic, but... wow that website is slightly motion sickness inducing. Is it as bad to scroll through this on a mac as it is on linux? I use a mouse with an actual wheel, maybe they don't optimize for that kind of legacy device...?

Edit: it's also just so hard to scroll exactly to the points where the information is presented. I just mostly end up at points that are meaningless transitions... So confusing...
You could take a swing at it and see how it goes. The person you're replying to has said what they believe the cause is. You're free to propose other ones for other countries.

My explanation would be that the US drug war was aggressively international.
It's not about increasing or decreasing. It's about doing your share. Germany has half the forest cover percentage of Brazil. Either pay for the remainder to stay up or understand that as Germans burn fossil fuel to live in an inhospitable land (they will literally die if they don't fund the slaughter of Ukrainians) after they've clear cut their forests, others will not sacrifice without being paid or placed under duress.

If you add x CO2 to the atmosphere and take out y, then others who are adding x'<x and taking out y'>y will not just listen to you.

I’m so afraid of Twitter that I even created a distinct account with a default username—“user12345” or something of that nature. My old account had my photo and maybe my name.

I can’t even risk having people see who I follow, and on Twitter who you follow is public.

Apple should really stop abusing the word "Studio"
My main problem with these kinds of prices is not just the markup per-se but the fact that you've now got 4k$ into a very fragile, unrepairable machine - and for laptops, also vulnerable to damage & theft.

I've always stuck with entry-level MacBooks for that reason - it's a more reasonable amount of money to lose and allows me to not care too much about it even in sketchy situations where you wouldn't want to bring a 4k$ non-waterproof device.

The Mac Studio's HDMI doesn't support 120Hz out (so likely HDMI 2.0?) and it also doesn't come with a keyboard and mouse.
Apple said that Max's CPU is up to 2.5x faster and the Ultra's CPU is up to 3.8x faster than whatever intel CPU is in the iMac Pro, so you're getting about 52% more CPU performance with Ultra's doubling in CPU cores vs the Max, so definitely feeling some linear scaling limitations with the interconnect.
RT is not independent media, nice try though. Keep fighting the good fight for fascism.

I was kind of disappointed as I expected this to be the keyboard thing that was leaked to the news a bit ago; seemed to fit just right with their arguments of portability, connectivity, modularity.
No direct ICC profile is a terrible decision by Apple. Same with Apple Pro Display XDR. It’s opposite of being pro.
That depends on the claimed reason.

Price floors can work very well at reducing consumption.
How thick are those bezels?
> The entire Russian economy needs to be punished as much as possible in as short a time as possible. This unavoidably hurts everyone.

Sanctions can work too well. After the US embargoed all oil to imperial Japan their navy calculated they only had fuel left for two years, which led to the attack of Pearl Harbor.
not sure if i ve seen a lot of 'balanced' content. Despite being a russian channel you ll never understand what s happening in russia because it's as if their government has never made any mistake at all. But it's generally a perspective, and watching it helps to understand what kind of propaganda makes most russians support this war
I like this announcement, because it means that there's a manufacturing line for proper HiDPI [1] displays running in some LG factory somewhere that third party manufactures like LG/Dell/Iiyama can hopefully use to give us some fresh good-looking 27" 5K desktop monitors. It boggles my mind how little attention very high pixel density displays have been getting from PC display manufacturers. I would also be first in line for a PC monitor that uses the M1 iMac display, but I suppose nobody sees a market for higher end 24" monitors anymore.

[1]: HiDPI displays that work correctly with macOS' and Linux desktop's naive HiDPI implementation, that requires 2x scaling for good results.

Nobody in 2022 will sell you a monitor that does that, except for Apple's expensive stuff that is hard to use with regular PCs and one over the top Dell display. I wish everyone did what ChromeOS or modern Windows apps do. I need that extremely crisp font rendering in my life.
Being canceled isn't even a real thing. It's just a phrase people use because they have to have consequences when they show their true selves. Some group of people don't agree with you? Show me an example of being canceled then
I gain nice memes and some schadensfreude when they bitch about their lives.
This analogy isn't very helpful imo. You're trying to take over the bank indefinitely, not rob it once. Money is too different from news.
Would be nice to have >5K resolutions to have more pixel density.

Alas, macOS doesn't support any native scaling other than 100% and 200%. So if they did release e.g. a 27" 8K monitor, the text would either be too small, or they'd have to use bitmap scaling to make it bigger in which case there'd be no advantage of having an 8K monitor.

(EDIT: To clarify, all other scaling factors are done by rendering at either 100% or 200% and doing bitmap scaling up or down. By bitmap scaling 200% up up to e.g. 250%, things are bigger so that's good, but there's no extra detail being displayed, so you're wasting the resolution of your monitor. You might as well buy a cheaper monitor with fewer but larger pixels.)

I really don't understand why they don't either (a) adopt Windows' approach of allowing rendering directly to any arbitrary scale, or (b) at least introduce a 300% mode with bitmap scaling analogous to their 100% and 200% modes.

My Sciter[1] Engine has two versions

1. Sciter.JS, with QuickJS, mainstream version now.

2. And former Sciter.TIS - uses my own TIScript. TIScript uses moving/compacting GC (close to V8).

We have several products ported [2] from TIS to JS already. I am not registering increased memory consumption but quite contrary sometimes.

In some cases deterministic reference counting schema is beneficial in UI, like:

function Foo() {
var nobj = new NativeObject();
nobj.dosomething();
}
// QuickJS will destroy nobj at exit from the function

Great they avoided $1000 stand memes by offering a more reasonable $400 stand.

To be more serious looks like a pretty good product that fits well into offices. I stopped working in IT in 2018 but back then SFF was all the rage and a powerful workstation with a smaller form factor will probably be attractive to a lot of customers.
Yeah stuff SSD array in TB4 hole for less money.

If they do create another chip for the Mac Pro, I wonder what they'll call it.

We have the M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max and M1 Ultra so far.
Generally, supporters of price controls see them as a way to reallocate wealth from producers to consumers. Economists point out that manipulating the market price distorts the market by reducing producers' incentive to supply and increasing consumers' incentive to consume, leading to a less efficient outcome.
There has to be overhead to not have to deal with the multi-cpu architecture in software.

It's impressive
From the presentation, the entire top half is the thermal system so can't really put I/O there.
More and more I see the M1 chips and I wish Mac worked seriously well for gaming. Would love too see something like Proton but for Mac (given up hopes for native support).

I hate that I have my gaming PC and then my Mac for everything else.

I have to wonder though what their plan is for the M2. Are they laying the groundwork for when the M2 comes out all of these variants will be ready at the same time? Or a gradual upgrade but the same series (Normal, Pro, Max, and then Ultra) for each.
Many of the people I know who are independent (like myself) have strong views, and largely lean one way or the other, but hate the party anyway. I feel this way about the party I most closely align with. We share a lot, but I really don't care at all for how they go about things, or what they consider is the highest priority. So I'm an independent, but I don't want to be associated with them.
It's almost surely 60hz since they didn't brand it as "ProMotion" display like they did with iPhone, Macbook Pro, and iPad Pro
The golden rule of using Twitter is: everything said is said to everyone, in public.

Turns out, there's a lot of stuff people just probably shouldn't broadcast.
Wouldn't the fact that it's open source make the spiders in the code easy to see?
I love that they didn't give up on the idea of the 2013 Mac Pro. With 6x TB4 and such a power efficient chip that vision seems way more based in reality nowadays than back in 2013. I just wish the design would be similarly striking as back then, am a bit underwhelmed by this "bloated mac mini".

Can't wait for June to see what the actual Mac Pro will look like. Good thing they mentioned that.
So, no. “Most” energy is not used for heat. I imagine the biggest single draw is transportation.
As a comparsion a quick build on PCPartPicker: Xeon E5 22 core, Radeon RX 6900 XT, case, power supply, 64 gb of ram, motherboard, 1TB SSD and CPU cooler. Comes in at just shy of $5,000

That CPU isn't as powerful as the one the M1 Ultra beat in their specs, but should be about the same GPU as they compared and beat. If the benchmarks are to be believed.... the $4,000 Mac Studio will be an absolute powerhouse in the price/performance/power market for quite some amount of time.

Normally I'd make some snarky remark about Apple Tax, but in this case they look to have the PC hardware equivalent very well and truly beat on cost. For now.
I want a vesa mount one which should be cheaper. Hrumph.
+1 to this response.

To add, playing a paper like a trading card is essentially an appeal to authority[1].

Readers, you have to build mental a model and use causal mechanism and research studies as evidence, not proof. Accept the models which are stronger than the ones you have, even if they make you uncomfortable or conflict with your preconceived notions. Its ok to flip between conclusions as new evidence presents itself.
