Sanctions can apply to copyright or patent licenses, which means you can't grant them and any existing licenses are nullified. When Huawei got sanctioned, they were cut off from any technology invented by Americans, including things like most ARM chip designs, Google Play, and even Android itself[0]. This also meant that any remaining licensees of such technologies couldn't sublicense to Huawei.

Now, you might wonder why that matters - surely, China is the one enforcing copyright and patent law, right? They could just pretend America didn't say that. Except if they do that, then they're in violation of WIPO/TRIPS, and every country in the world is going to ban their exports.

FOSS relies entirely on copyright law in order to work and be legal, and Americans and Europeans write a lot of FOSS, so the US, UK, Canada, Mexico, and the EU 27 collectively pull the strings here. If you don't have those licenses in place, not only could any contributor go rogue and start suing; the US itself would have standing to sue on behalf of it's citizens (i.e. to get products banned from international trade).

As a practical example of this, GitHub had to fight tooth-and-nail just to get a sanctions exemption so that Iranian software developers could rejoin the rest of the world.

[0] AFAIK Huawei is shipping their own AOSP fork now, and that's currently allowed; but I still maintain that the US could have banned them from that, too.
They cornered the market on TSMC's highest node, also. This means AMD still gets to benefit from the process improvements, offset by one gen.

In my experience running joke and pseudonymous Twitter accounts most "respectable engineers" talking about politics on Twitter are not posting about their real problems as much as trying to appeal to signal they belong to a certain culture because it's beneficial for their careers or their public image. There's a lot of exceptions of course but honestly most good engineers will probably be tweeting the interesting political stuff that really affects them from behind an account for say "Signal", "Tor", "the EFF" or whatever and not with their personal name.

I am really into politics and participate in political debate on Slack or Discord servers and private Signal or Telegram groups with an identity that can be traced back to me with zero effort almost daily or weekly. Some are bigger than others. I would never ever do it on Twitter unless I was trying to start a side-gig as a journalist or a cult-leader or whatever. Not caring about what people on Twitter say about politics is far from not caring about politics at all.
Goes to reason that heavy crude refineries should be able to process light crude just fine since light crude is just a fraction of the heavy one.

What likely is the issue is the cost - refineries will make less money refining light crude oil as part of them will be underutilized.

One thing that article did not mention is that perhaps refineries have setup to refine heavy crude because of Canada's tar sands and XL pipeline.

This hits the nail on the head perfectly, IMHO. Unfortunately, even the activities you describe have become politicized. For example, Settlers of Catan rebranding to just Catan.

It does not according to the apple.com compare between iphone 13 and new SE
The M1 Ultra is by a very wide margin the bigger of the two. According to Tom's Hardware [1], top-of-the-line Epycs have 39.54 billion transistors. That is about a third of the 117 billion in the M1 Ultra. Apple builds bigger than anyone else, thanks largely to their access to TSMC's best process.

The M1 Ultra is a workstation part. It goes in machines that start at $4,000. The competition is Xeons, Epycs, and Threadrippers.

Twitter launches a Tor service to help Russians evade censorship
Is that what he said or is it what you want to hear?
I felt a little cheated when they launched the nini after the 2020 SE. I’m still using my 2020 SE and will probably update in the next year but I’m not sure whether I’ll go for the 2022 SE or the mini. The cost of the SE and the Touch ID are very strong selling points, but the size of the mini and the squared sides are also appealing. I am hoping they’ll make an SE-mini hybrid but I’m not holding my breath.
So, Poland is giving the Jets to the US, and they are hosted in a German airfield, and probably be delivered to Ukraine from there.

If Russia wants to retribute, it will have to attack the US and Germany, which it ends up in ww3 territory.

Basically, any additional move, will end up being such escalatory, that it will have to think twice about it. Especially the lower level troops that will be ordered to carry any such attacks.
This https://twitter.com/igorsushko/status/1500301354358636546 suggests that prison = Russia, meteorite = sanctions.
Well compare that to a 400$ CPU like a 5900x, the first M1 is slower than this one and cost 2x the price.
According to the article, Twitter only makes up 25% of America, let alone the world.
Process is much easier to change then changing people. Its why the government deducts taxes from you, instead of you paying at the end of the year (both because you'd spend it all, and you'd be pissed doing a bulk sum payment).

Likewise we have levers, should we be selling soda / pop with outrageous amounts of sugar in them without some sort of healthcare tax? I don't mind sugar being available, but right now its subsidized by our health care fees. My insurance is more expensive because of diabetes, heart disease, etc.
Agreed. The video and text fakes are getting better, but the audio (at least here) isn't close. It's not even an uncanny valley, it's worse than an SNL parody.

In cases without audio, watching the lips for sync was also a reliable giveaway.
If the power is substantial enough it will get exploited eventually. Hopefully even if Metal ports don't occur the eventual Asahi-adjacent open source drivers will open the gaming doors.

My roommate basically put it in his project for university as a similar theory to Toaster Fucker. I too have a personal similar theory where I just refer to the 'village idiot'.

They all basically revolve around one truth I think.

The internet doesn't radicalize people. People radicalize people. The internet is just full of people who are already radicalized in their daily life, and they are using the internet to radicalize others. Whether it be for the left, right, or even some weird alt thing.

Penny Arcade even has their own comic strip theory called "G.I.F.T of the Internet".

Theirs is more simplistic though in that it stipulates that the anonymity of the net is the problem insofar that it gives people a fake sense of security to be who they really are on the inside. For better or worse. Usually worse.

I think all of our ideas on the matter basically resonate on the same singular issue. That people were already nuts to begin with. The internet is just making easier to identify which are fucking screwballs and ... the rest.

But then that poses a new problem. Mob mentality even of righteous people is still just as toxic as the mob mentality of fucking idiots.

It's less about cost of living and more about the fact that all the expertise and parts all the way through the supply chain are in Asia. Bringing that industry to the US requires bringing many of the supporting industries too. It's no simple task and probably won't happen at this point.

I've never heard of anyone identifying as a "trap" unironically. This sounds like a straw man.

I would equate a trans woman calling themselves a trap to being the same as a black person calling themselves the N word. It's a way of taking back a slur.
Mathematicians discover the perfect way to multiply (2019)
Probably it's the thermals that don't scale. The more the cores, the lower the the peak performance per core.
If I had to guess, their secret sauce is that 1) they're paying lots of money to be on a chip fabrication node ahead of both AMD and Intel, 2) since their chip design is in-house, they don't have to pay the fat profit margin Intel and AMD want for their high-end processors and can therefore include what is effectively a more expensive processor in their systems for the same price, and 3) their engineering team is as good as AMD/Intel. Note that the first two have more to do with economics rather than engineering.
> You can also implement rationing to further mitigate imbalances. So price may be low, but you can only buy 1 per day, or something like that.

Generally it goes the other way around. First government imposes price controls, which cause scarcity. Then they impose rationing.

> Lack of price controls did not prevent blackouts to Texans in the US last year. It did cause many folks to be saddled with insane bills.

Price controls are not the only way you get to end up with limited supply, that's true, and that situation was temporary, also true, and there was no rationing (some areas did not lose power because they were "privileged") while all others did lose power. The people who were "saddled with insane bills" were those who had a specialty spot-price utility.

> Wartime/Emergency: stated purpose is to shift supply toward military/medical uses. Shortages and black markets are acceptable negative side effects.

I acknowledge the wartime thing, but that is quite exceptional. We've had lots of price controls during peace time here and all over the world, and they have never worked for their ostensible reasons. When was the last time we had wartime price controls in the U.S.? Not since WWII.
Crony capitalism and current US politics are deeply rooted into each other and feed and nourish one another.
No USB isn't great, but personally:

- Giant bezels => easy grip without touching the screen or covering it

- Physical button => still works better for unlocking than FaceTime (especially with a mask)

Virtually every other phone doesn't "suffer" from those "drawbacks" so this is probably my next phone when my current 2nd gen SE expires.
You can stockup for 6 months fairly easily and by then you know the direction things are going. Mark dates on your supplies and use + reload them regularly. You will always have a 6 months buffer from when shit hits the fan.
Yeah, it’s the real world tasks that GeekBench tries to simulate that don’t tend to scale linearity with processor count. A lot of software does not take good advantage of multiple cores.
Energy is probably the biggest bill for a data centre.

Lower TDP = lower electric bills and lower airconditioning bill. Win win
That's the same load shedding as grocery stores use - if everything gets too crowded people start leaving (not queueing).

Yes. That's called the "rejection rate".

Unless, some of the time, queue length is zero, you will have a nonzero rejection rate. This is worth bringing up with store managers who want to run understaffed checkouts. One of the things retail consultants do is point out how sales are being lost that way, both in customers who leave and customers who never come back.

Much of my early work on network congestion was based on that. In the early days of networking, everyone was thinking Poisson arrivals, where arrivals are unaffected by queue lengths. This is partly because the original analysis for the ARPANET, by Leonard Klienrock, was done that way. It was done that way because his PhD thesis was based on analyzing Western Union Plan 55-A, which handled telegrams. (Think of Plan 55-A as a network of Sendmail servers, but with queues made from paper tape punches feeding paper tape readers. The queue was a bin between punch and reader.)[1], at 7:00. Queue length was invisible to people sending telegrams, so senders did behave like Poisson arrivals. That's still true of email today.

The IP layer is open loop with rejection. Transport protocols such as TCP are closed loop systems. The two have to be considered together. Everybody gets this now, but it was a radical idea in 1985.[2]

Maybe if Apple wrote it. Otherwise you can run the same Chrome/Firefox, Photoshop and Office on a Windows or even Linux Machine. Most software is shared between platforms nowadays with posix/windows being the lowest common denominator in terms of "cross platform".

I think the GPU claims are interesting. According to the graph's footer, the M1 Ultra was compared to an RTX 3090. If the performance/wattage claims are correct, I'm wondering if the Mac Studio could become an "affordable" personal machine learning workstation (which also won't make the electricity bill skyrocket).

If Pytorch becomes stable and easy to use on Apple Silicon [0][1], it could be an appealing choice.

> In reality though would you really want your games to be installed on the same machine as your daily driver?

Yes. The vast majority of people that I'm aware of don't buy multiple desktops. If I spend $1000+ for a gaming machine, I don't want to spend hundreds more to have multiple machines to jump between and to manage connections to and to take up space in my office.
I'm pretty happy with the service, and even the top tier is affordable.
Right or wrong, that is basically what happens.
Perhaps until VR becomes more main stream and gets higher frame rates, resolutions etc.

Rendering in VR takes a lot of memory at higher resolutions.
I thought I saw someone proposing that Twitter do something like this, basically allowing sub-accounts. For example, I speak some Spanish and would love to tweet in Spanish, but those who follow me and don't speak Spanish may feel annoyed for it to pop up all the time. So I'd love to have sub-accounts, where I have my main account and people can choose which sub-accounts to follow.

I'd love the same for a podcast. I don't want to create 5 separate podcast channels, I want to have a main one and then have sub-channels that people can subscribe to.

It doesn't have to be this structure, it can be another way to allow us to have more power over the feed that we're seeing, giving us filter/search/sort/algorithm options.

So, in short, I love your suggestion and wish the next generation of social network implements it in some shape, whether that be from the incumbents or new ones.
In case anyone is interested in the article itself: https://oa.mg/work/10.1073/pnas.2118631119
It is worth noting that it has, at least according to Apple's graphs, slightly more than an RTX 3090 in graphics performance.

So, even if it doesn't quite beat Threadripper in the CPU department - it will absolutely annihilate Threadripper in anything graphics-related.

For this reason, I don't actually have a problem with Apple calling it the fastest. Yes, Threadripper might be marginally faster in real-world work that uses the CPU, but other tasks like video editing, graphics, it won't be anywhere near close.
> I'm interested in how the US plans to get Migs into Ukraine in a way that isn't an act of war.

This. Biden said on 24 Feb that the US will be 'involved' if [Putin] moves into NATO countries. Now we're to believe NATO wants to move Migs into Ukraine?

This isn't [yet] NATO vs Russia. Let's not make it that.

At least you still have a public outcry when backdoors are found out. Though whistleblowers tend to have a bad fate regardless of the side they're on I think they will at least not be point blank executed like the journalists executed on Putin's birthday.
The west is heading in a bad direction too, no doubt about that, but Russia and China are already at an extremely dangerous level of totalitarianism and censorship.
"The Russians have an overwhelming numeric advantage"

They don't, quite to the contrary. A tight siege of a city of three million would require some 500 000 troops, give or take. (Germans had 750 000 soldiers encircling Leningrad.) That would be three times as many as Russia committed to the entire theater of war.

Russian logistics are strained. They can't simply mobilize millions and somehow flood the Ukrainian territory with them.
So glad my toxic/addictive social network experiences were years ago on old style forums. It’s been wild watching the rest of the world go through the same thing but completely public not on some niche forum nobody reads.

If these networks are here to stay we very clearly need to at least train people from a young age how to mentally handle social networks.
For me, its frustrating to not see an option without all the webcam, microphone, octuple speaker array, A13, 100w charging, TB hub, madness. I have to imagine that adds significant cost, and at $1600 we're not in the territory where this stuff can be included just 'cause.

I like it, but I imagine some professionals would like to do what Apple's marketing images all show; buy two, maybe even three. I'd love to have one with all that stuff, but not all of them need the bells and whistles; and there's value in having all your displays be identical, especially in work that needs color calibration (not to mention, it looks nice).

So, maybe I grab one if the reviews look solid. And hopefully in the future they release a version without all that extra stuff for closer to the $1200-$1300 an LG 5K ultrafine display can be had for.
The ThinkPad R50p had a QXGA screen (2048x1536) option back in 2003. Granted Windows had zilch support for it which is probably why it died. Even the base model was a 1600x1200 screen. And there was plenty of phones with 200+ ppi before the iPhone 4. I think it has more to do with higher PPI screens getting cheaper and Apple could just get more supply first...

That is precisely what is happening now. They are reporting what US leadership, intel agencies, and outright silly propaganda tells them. They don't have boots on the ground. It's "Yep, there's the Ghost of Kyiv right there in this video game footage. Yep, that's a granny torching 100 Russky tanks".
I looked and did some forum research and there isn't a setting. I think I like the feature you dislike; I just want to be at the home screen or last app without touching the screen after FaceID is done. The current state leaves you on the notifications screen with an unlocked padlock after FaceID, then you have to swipe to actually use your phone. (This was never a problem with TouchID.)

Other comments say it's so you can read the notifications after you unlock, but I rarely want to do that.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. Interesting points. I'm still confused about what cultural policies the "woke" left implemented that would encourage other dems to vote for a third middle way part should one exist. I can see the other side easily.
Thank you so much for doing this. People need to recognize that one of the main reasons Russians support this is because they REALLY have heard nothing else than Putin's propaganda, given that ALL free media is practically destroyed in the past decade. This information "vacuum" is hard to imagine if you live in a democratic country.
