The problem with Twitter is simple.

If someone agrees with a post, they “like” it. If someone disagrees, they tweet in response. This was the ONLY option until a few weeks ago with the rollout of the downvote button, so we will see if downvoting changes this dynamic.

Suppose a tweet gets 90 likes, and 10 negative responses. That’s 90% positive response. But if someone clicks on the tweet, they’ll see the one original tweet followed by 10 disagreeable posts, which can make it seem like fringe ideas are actually much more mainstream.
DR Congo has been exploited so much it pains my heart. Sadly in coming years it's probably gonna get worse for them given they have so many minerals and both China/US are gonna tussle over them.
Addiction is a chronic sickness. There is no cure. People need to go into life time treatment. People will respond to different types of treatment and different levels of intervention but it can't be treated as if it can be cured. At least, not at this time. Treatment can be as light as a weekly meeting to help people continue with their sobriety. But a cure for addiction, for some addicts, is like saying that we need a cure for eating.
I think you're referring to AMD's 3D V-Cache, which is already out in their Epyc "Milan X" lineup and forthcoming Ryzen 5800X3D. https://www.amd.com/en/campaigns/3d-v-cache

Whereas AMD's solution is focused on increasing the cache size (hence the 3D stacking), Apple here seems to be connecting the 2 M1 Max chips more tightly. It's actually more reminiscent of AMD's Infinity Fabric interconnect architecture. https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/infinity_fabric

The interesting part for this M1 Ultra is that Apple opted to connect 2 existing chips, rather than design a new one altogether. Very likely the reason is cost - this M1 Ultra will be a low volume part, as will be future iterations of it. The other approach would've been to design a motherboard that sockets 2 chips, which seems would've been cheaper/faster than this - albeit at expense of performance. But they've designed a new "socket" anyway due to this new chip's much bigger footprint.
It's like going to the library but someone has hired dancing cheerleaders to grab the book you're trying to read and wave it around so that you're more excited about reading it.
Maybe in the US. Here in Uruguay it would definitely power a million homes. I suspect it'll power a million homes in Europe as well (most are "energy-efficient apartments").

According to an article, an US citizen consumes twice as much electricity as a German, 3 times a Spaniard and 7 times a Uruguayan...

>One day in late April or early May, Google removed the phrase "don't be evil" from its code of conduct. After 18 years as the company's motto, those three words and chunks of their accompanying corporate clauses were unceremoniously deleted from the record, save for a solitary, uncontextualized mention in the document's final sentence.

I dunno, I think cloud is starting to think more and more about power consumption of the chips used, where Apple Silicon blows the competition out of the water.

And kill NATO personnel in the airbase. Russia has now murdered American and Polish soldiers on Polish soil. It's pretty clear cut what happens next.
This gimmick is like planting flowers and somehow thinking they'll deter a burglar.
X-Plane is great on M1.
That's not true. Putin has repeatedly said that the main purpose of the military operation is military facilities on Ukrainian territory, but not people.
If you don't believe me, watch the interviews, ask the Russians how they feel about the brotherly people.
One in 20 people in Russia is a Ukrainian. No one belittles them on a national basis.
But the answer to the question is still "no".
They can't attack it due to heavy Russian air defense, not due to lack of fighters.
Wow, that looks awesome. I like the Apple displays but I'm into seriously wide aspect ratio stuff lately.

I was checking on some comically wide Samsung monitors however I wasn't impressed with the build quality.
Can you explain what you mean by "unfettered access"?
Not sure what is required of a dev, but as an example, Adobe Premiere pro doesn't take any advantage of >1 CPU, at least on Windows. https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Should-you-use-a-...
I'd say so. In my experience, different carriers have been discounting/clearing out many of Apple's 4g models at pretty good prices over the last year.
I would think hundreds of cheaper drones would be more useful.

In addition to reconnaissance, there’s a lot of artillery, vehicles, etc. they could directly or indirectly target
I'm so tempted, but I've been on 32" and 34" for years now, I just don't think I could go to 27" again. I am dying for a great high end monitor with charging for my laptop, integrated camera and speakers. I loved my old cinema display. I really want this, just a bit bigger.
~15-20% faster if releases start this year, plus whatever optimizations learned from M1 in wide release such as perhaps tuning the silicon allocation given the various system. If next year, M2 or M3 (get it) will use Taiwan Semi's so-called 3nm, which should be a significant jump just like 7-5nm several years ago for the phones and iPads.

Im not sure how you protesting makes a difference to all of the victims of the US wars.

You being a democracy makes no difference whatsoever.

Compare US victims of war to Russias over the last 2 decades. Tell me which seems more egregious.

This isn’t to say what russia is doing is good. But I just don’t understand how you can cast stones when your house is made of glass.
I don't.

There's already Reddit if you want to crack puns and farm karma. Let's try to keep the signal:noise ratio higher here.
Put simply, it is vertical integration paired with management that is adept at playing the long game.
> Russia cannot be trusted because it lied that they will not start a war and then it did.

Yeah, it's kind of hard for Ukraine to negotiate to avoid an invasion when Russia kept saying they wouldn't invade.

I know an ultimatum is a last ditch effort of diplomacy, and often symbolic. But it demonstrates some commitment to diplomacy.
Agreed, but it seems to take a lot of maturity to know the difference. Very few kids know the difference and some adults never learn.
Pro, Max, Ultra.

The board has been set. M1 Endgame is nearly ready.
Ask HN: Replacing USB3 with slim Power-over-Ethernet, too crazy?
I'm not an expert in USB3 implementation details, but it seems to be a nightmare, even if you can afford to buy the spec. Meanwhile, power-over-ethernet has existed for a while. It seems like all we would need is slightly different connectors to fit into slim devices like phones, and PoE capable cables could fill the data-and-charging roles of USB3, with less weird proprietary nonsense, almost none except for the connector itself, which could conceivably (definitely in my fantasy world) be an open-source design. The software and most of the other hardware pretty much already exists, right? Connecting your phone to your computer is just networking, like plugging in an Ethernet adapter.

I'm sure it can't actually be as simple as just CADing up some new connectors, but is there a reason besides inertia this couldn't be done and be effective? Say, by a startup willing to abandon a bit of precedent to get a less-proprietary connector?
That counts memory, right?
They did better with the limited space they have — they included a bunch of multi-functional USB-C ports that can be used with dongles for additional HDMI ports!
You don't just "fuse" two chips together willnilly. that was designed in from the beginning for the architecture for future implementation.

Apple have always been the first to push higher resolution devices for as long as I've been alive.

Laptops in the early 2010's were stuck on 1336x768 until Apple kicked up a fuss about having "retina", same with phones which had comically low resolutions until Apple made a fuss about it with the iPhone 4.

Sadly my eyes aren't as good as they used to be so I can't make a lot of use of the extra real-estate, but it always seems as if they're ahead when it comes to resolutions on consumer devices.
It would allow those who want to fight to not worry about the repercussions back home. Or at least to lessen them, as they have an escape hatch to at least live in Ukraine afterwards. I imagine a lot of those who volunteered to fight will come back bankrupt, with creditors at their heels and possibly to broken homes. Some of them who come from places like Belarus may even face criminal charges for fighting.

Yep, he's super cancelled. Great example.
What on earth are you talking about. That link shows it’s not even half as fast as the 3060, let alone the 3080.

In borderlands it got 24 FPS while the 3080 got 52 FPS. How is that on par?
IQ reduction is totally expected from the moment contraceptive methods became fully available. Common sense seems to be out of fashion these days, but Idiocracy was spot on: the dumber you are the more prone to "unexpected" pregnancies you'll be. The future will not be Star Trek.
I learned a long time ago to hit "Tech Specs" on the top right instead of sitting through the ridiculous marketing pages (especially since they have awful performance on Firefox for some reason).
It's up to Microsoft to deliver something as smooth as Rosetta 2 though. I wonder if anyone with experience running a windows ARM laptop for dev can comment on this.

Is the appearance of a deep state the main reason why counterintelligence is reluctant to act when it's politicans being bribed instead of military officers?
I like M1 Steve, as it can honor two people.
Bad move. This opens up Polish airbases to retaliation by Russian ballistic and cruise missiles. If push comes to shove, NATO Article 5 will not be invoked for Poland’s sake (Western European nations, the UK, and the US will not be willing to risk WWIII for country east of Germany and Poland should understand this by now). Poland will foolishly be left smarting while Germany and the UK press for rational dialog.
They have been shipping multi die CPUs for quite a while, but the interconnect is closer to a PCIe connection (slower, longer range, less contacts).

Intels upcomming Saphire Rapid server CPUs are extremly similar, with wide connections between two close dies. Crossectional bandwith is in the same order of magnitude there.
I have a 24"(61cm) 4k Dell monitor with Ubuntu... it is a bit unique these days, don't think there are many others around. Mostly happy with it, but...

I'd rather have higher density like the laptop it is connected to, with 4k. Perhaps 200dpi 3:2 or 16:10 around ~22"(56cm) diagonal that can do portrait would be my preferred monitor. Haven't seen that around unfortunately.
Since M1 pretty much.
Likely MS made the offer, and Mandiant's bankers shopped it around to Google.

As much as Investment Bankers maybe be a drain on society, they DO provide value to certain capital-holders.

However; the spectre lingers from an info/dev/ETC/sec position ; here me out:

Aside from what we are seeing in the global political frame ; which means nothing to political aspirations on the personal level :

We are seeing a MASSIVE shift on the authoritarian control to global HUMAN mobility in all : Mindshare, Finance, Tech, Social-Acceptability, etc.

Lets take into your realm: Cyber-Sec...

What will cyber-sec look like in 10 years?

What will ID look like?

What will currency access look like?

What will financial channels for individuals look like?

What will access to "goods and services" by those who wish to not deal with "the system" look like?

What will social-mobility look like?

Your operation is amazing, mobilizing air fright is massive. I'll definitely write you, we'll try what we can to support although we're much smaller.
Surely some surface-to-surface missiles or long range artillery could reach the Russian column and break through the air defenses? It seems to me like both sides are holding back from unleashing the full fury of their power, for good reason.
State commitments in New York and New Jersey mean that off-shore windfarms are guaranteed to be profitable. The cost of extraction doesn't equal the cost of the land or right to drill for oil.
In your opinion do _all_ of the ultra wealthy also avoid _all_ behaviors that might be considered unhealthy? Seems like a weird conclusion to make.
Typical "neural engines" are intended for real-time network inference, not training. Training is highly parallel and benefits more from GPU-like vector processing.
This is why people like Queen Elizabeth (specifically, not the rest of the royal family) are widely held in such high regard. She rarely makes any comments about anything that could be discerned as political, and as a result she has stayed largely neutral. Even people like my dad, who is highly conservative and vocally dislikes all celbrities, still thinks she's a saint. I'm not convinced—she keeps her mouth shut because she's done for if she makes a fuss about anything.
Why are technical terms like Native and network terms, like Man in the middle, Master and Slave forbidden?

What other codewords do they use for these then?

And is there a transcription table for the codewords to the forbidden words if someone else needs to read the code?

My 1st gen 16 core Threadripper is barely faster than an M1 Pro/Max at kernel builds, so a 64 core TR3 should handily double the M1 Ultra performance.

Ask HN: Modern, easy-to-start with alternatives to Visual Basic
I'd like to create a GUI utility to work with ID3 tags on mp3 files. I was looking for options and found out that programming for Windows is a daunting experience.

I can recall starting programming using Visual Basic a long, long time ago. By then I found it very easy to start with because of the drag-&-drop nature of the GUI, out-of-the-box events, etc.

What are some modern, free alternatives to Visual Basic that would allow me to easily create a GUI and attach scripts and events to its controls?

Please excuse my dated references, I am a web developer unfamiliar with programming for the desktop
> Google monetizes search with ads.

Google monetizes search but not with Google ads. This is the primary distinguisher. Its an auction selling space on page for a supplier to provide their own textual content. Google's online advertisement businesses don't sell space on Google pages, but online ad products for other peoples' pages.

Google considers all of this as ad revenue, but distinguishes search from their advertisement products in their revenue filings.
1) There are no restrictions on YouTube in Russia
2) Are there restrictions on YouTube in Europe and America? Why don't you see that since 2014 Ukraine has been destroying the people of Donetsk and Luhansk for 8 years?
Yeah I don’t know what it is with everyone prioritizing pixels over refresh rate.. once you start using 100+hz 60hz starts to feel like a slide show. You can see mouse trails and scrolling is jerky and uncoordinated, it’s painful and insanely distracting.
I've had an 8gb macbook Air m1, and it's honestly never been an issue even for dev stuff since my workloads just wouldn't run on my local machine anyway. It's much, much less of an issue than on my Windows laptop with 8gb of ram, too.

As for storage, yeah 240gb is probably not ideal for most people but since I bought the air mostly as a lightweight device I can carry anywhere instead of a workstation (even though it's insanely powerful for what it is) it does not really matter in my case.

(This is my first Mac so I was very worried of the pretty limited ram since I had no idea how macOS deals with memory, but if it's fine for me I'd say it's fine for most normal/casual users)
When you know, you know. I'm sorry you've been through the hell. I hope you're doing better.
I've noticed that ALL beginners seem to have a reinvented global solution phase.

Everyone who does electronics might say "Oh I'm going to use this one connector for everything". And it's either ok, if it's a standard connector, or a giant pile of crap that means they can't use a lot of existing stuff because they insisted on this insane DIY grand scheme.

Usually such things have an element of "I want to do Y, so I'll build a modular kit X and use that to Y". And then X becomes the real project and Y is never finished.

The insidious part is how the new product is often a tiny bit better than what's out there. But it doesn't matter. The mediocre standard solution is still way less trouble than the beautiful perfect custom thing. I'd rather have Just Works tech than tech that's Just Right. Anything that seems perfect and beautiful and simple, I don't trust, because it was probably made for one specific task, not to be a general standard you don't have to think about.

I think of the failures with global solutions are because someone did them on a small scale, or because they have to do with natural systems.

Fully top down planning of manmade things by a giant industry consortium is most of why tech is great. Otherwise we would have no USB C, and 12 different CPU architectures.

Sometimes design by comittee protocols suck, but usually because they didn't have enough control, and instead of a protocol, they deliver a description language for companies to make their own protocol, with every feature optional so that compliance does not necessarily mean compatibility.

When you do it internally it can suck because it's more effort than it's worth to replace all your existing stuff.
The other thing I love about the button is the fingerprint reader. Far superior to facial recognition IMHO.
People would upvote it if came with USB-C or brought back the headphone jack.
I feel that while changing from 30hz to 60hz and the latter feels smooth (enough). Never used a higher refresh rate device but wonder how much more can this keep going and humans noticing.
Apple M1 | 8‑core CPU, 8‑core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine, 16GB RAM, 10Gbit LAN = 899$

Apple Studio | 20-Core CPU, 48-Core GPU, 32-Core Neural Engine! 64GB RAM! 10Gbit LAN = 3999$

I think the M1 is a nice product for 95% of people including iOS Devs.

Silent, „cheap“, cost effective, nice build server.
If you need more power … well get the small studio or buy another one.

Renting from hetzner is also cheap. 49€ with really unlimited bandwith. 20 TB traffic in a month? No problem, nobody cares.

https://www.hetzner.com/de/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-apple
I agree with some of this, but will note that actually using a Magic Mouse 2 cured me of joking about the design (I was entirely on the "LOL how dumb" train before that). It wasn't an issue, in practice, and did keep me from just using it plugged in all the time (which is what I tend to do with other wireless things at my desk that have integrated rechargeable batteries).
It's going to be a couple years. The guys who bought those power workstations and servers will be very peeved if it happens too quickly
D) all of the above?
I'd also note that selling directly to customers can mean fewer viewers. For a long time, people complained about cable bundles because they were paying for things they didn't want. Now people are complaining because they need to pay for 5-10 different subscriptions.

If a sports league makes a deal with ESPN and most people get ESPN as part of a bundle, a lot of people are going to watch who might not otherwise watch. If you need to buy NFL-TV to watch a game, many people will simply not watch the game.

Think about how many things that are included with Netflix that you've watched, but you'd never pay for individually. Sports leagues don't want to put people in the situation of deciding if they like the sport enough to pay for it individually. They'd rather have their programming as part of a larger bundle that customers already pay for. Hard-core fans would pay for their sports league, but they'd lose out on all the casual fans, people who might watch a game or two a week (and wouldn't feel like paying for so many games was worth it to them), and people who might watch a game with other people if it was on (and free).
I just think of Perot, after which the voting rules, or rather the percentages for for entry were changed. Also the association running the debates went from the League of Women Voters to the Commission on Presidential Debates:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_deb....

That's when it changed from 2% to 5%, and on and on. It was the Perot incidents that make me lean towards a "rigged" system, more than anything, really.

I'm all for the UK stepping up to give Ukraine more assistance but it's not (yet) justified by the Budapest memorandum; it only guarantees assistance in the case of attack by nuclear weapons.

I appreciate that it's infrequent. Sure, it's fun to blow off some steam and have a laugh, but that's fundamentally not what this place is about. Confining it to Apple release threads makes it more of a purge scenario.
Correct. Though note also that lead paint was being phased out already earlier than 1978, so single-family homes built after 1960 or so are less likely to have lead. That still leaves a lot of dwelling units, particularly those that were not renovated recently (i.e. cheaper places).
