Not necessarily. There is a very real chance that a nuclear strike on a purely military target will cause a flinch by the other side.

Lets say Putin nukes a carrier group at sea. This wont trigger an immediate counter attack like launching ICBMs would. Biden/whoever would have to order launching the nukes. Follow this for any usage of tactical nuclear weapons.

Will he decide to end life in America and most of the world over a carrier group? There's a non zero percent chance he would flinch at that.

Your argument is that nobody would have anything to do with Putin, but we already pretty close to that point. Backing Putin in a corner makes him MORE dangerous, not less.

Putin could do all kind of things to completely undermine as well. What happens if he decides that the world uniting against Russian means Russia no longer need to adhere to the Non Proliferation Treat and offers "free" nukes to whoever aligns with his new order? It's already understood geo politically that "no nukes" means the West and China get to bully you whenever they want. So why not take the offer? There's all kinds of ways this could get worse without all life ending.
M1 Hyper or M1 Ludicrous:)
Well, if the same oligarchies that influences the government by lobby also are the owners of big media companies, you do not need the direct involvement of government to censor the information and you can keep the image of a free press.
The 4k does not. The 5k has a webcam, microphone and speakers.
Instead of taking a defeatist attitude, think of it as a new challenge for mankind to tackle.

What can we do? Education and awareness goes a long way, taking a "top down" and "bottom up" approach, we can ensure that key stakeholders are cognisant of the climate impact, as well as educating the populous on it.
I have several Dell monitors (writing this on a 27' 4k S2721QS), they're absolutely awesome for office work. Sometimes I crave for a higher refresh rate though, I have another ultrawide monitor with 144 Hz refresh rate and it really makes a difference, I find.
>Unfortunately Wall Street is notorious for its emphasis on the short term -- and that has next to nothing to do with politics.

While it may not originate from politicians, politics and corporate short-sightedness have been so tightly coupled since at least the Reagan admin that distinguishing the two is arguably missing the forest for the trees.

But yes, the root problem is the people controlling the levers of Capital for short-sighted greed, as is often the case.
it is about oil, not nickel
I thought it's also used to activate Siri by voice without any CPU usage
Link me to the $2K computer that's twice as fast as the M1 Ultra. Take all the time you need.
Apple claims M1 Ultra is faster than 28 Core Intel Xeon W chip, which they ship in Mac Pro. If that's true, then Mac Studio is an excellent value.

Mac Pro with 28 Core, 96GB RAM, 1TB SSD = $14,199

Mac Studio with M1 Ultra (48GPU Cores), 128GB RAM, 1TB SSD = $4,800

Also it looks like they compared their CPU performance with the latest intel generation in their demo.

> "16-core PC desktop CPU performance data from testing Core i9-12900K with DDR5 memory" https://www.apple.com/mac-studio/#footnote

It's kinda scary how monster of a company Apple has become lately. Their product line-up in compute is now unmatched.
I find your words offensive, please stop posting in HN forever.
"in the same power envelope" is a pretty big caveat. Desktop chips aren't very optimized for power consumption.

I'd like to see the actual performance comparison.
I believe spending money on ads is the only way to get any sort of favoritism from a major tech company, and also being a famous/important person
>and Demcoratic forces will be revitalized inside of Russia.

Now there's a good prediction market - who will replace Putin if he's gone soon. My money will be on the kinds of people who will make Putin himself look like a liberal democrat.
Games I've played over the past two years:

Valheim - not in database

ARK: Survival Evolved - "game won't launch"

Conan: Exiles - not in database

Grounded - not in database

Civ V and Civ VI - each shows one record and seems it ran for that person (30-60 fps - for comparison, both run 144 fps on my $1000 Lenovo laptop.)

It Takes Two - not in database

That's all anecdotal, i.e. the games this one person likes to play are not supported, or don't play very well, and some of them are 5+ years old.

Overall the point being, it's hard to shell out all that money for a device that won't play your games. (If this sort of gaming is part of your computer use case). So to that original comment's point "I wish Mac worked seriously well for gaming."
I did that with a Mac Mini, but at some point it seems to have entered a permanently throttled state for some reason. Disk IO and CPU performance are atrocious, and idk why. Even tried installing Linux on it, but it's still incredibly slow. Maybe some sensor broke?

Whatever it is, I've become much less trusting of Apple hardware that is that old.
I think that the closer metaphor would be if an American business was having to hire private security resources because it was on some resource finding expedition in an unsavory part of the world, which is exactly what happens all the time. Exposing your business to the internet is like opening up an infinite number of storefronts everywhere, and a good number of those places are not where you want to be.
Modern SMP systems have NUMA behavior mostly not because of a lack of bandwidth but because of latency. At the speeds modern hardware operates at, the combination of distance, SerDes, and other transmission factors result in high latencies when you cross dies - this can't be ameliorated by massively increasing bandwidth via parallel lanes. For context, some server chips which have all the cores on a single die exhibit NUMA behavior purely because there's too many cores to all be physically close to each other geometrically (IIRC the first time I saw this was on an 18 core Xeon, with cores that themselves were a good bit smaller than these).

It's probably best to think of this chip as an extremely fast double socket SMP where the two sockets have much lower latency than normal. Software written with that in mind or multiple programs operating fully independent of each other will be able to take massive advantage of this, but most parallel code written for single socket systems will experience reduced gains or even potential losses depending on their parallelism model.
May I ask the $2000 desktop configuration with 2x the speed?

Of course Apple chips won’t work well for gaming, but what other benchmarks will this $2000 desktop win?
Don't live like its your last day

I think that's how Putin is living right now.
>> One of the primary impetuses for the law was the situation that occurred during World War I when the belligerent countries withdrew their merchant fleets from commercial service to aid in the war effort. This left the US with insufficient vessels to conduct normal trade impacting the economy. Later when the U.S. joined the war there were insufficient vessels to transport war supplies, materials, and ultimately soldiers to Europe resulting in the creation of the United States Shipping Board. The U.S. engaged in a massive ship building effort including building concrete ships to make up for the lack of U.S. tonnage. The Jones Act was passed in order to prevent the U.S. from having insufficient maritime capacity in future wars. [1]

Does reducing a crime from a felony to a misdemeanor constitute decriminalization? I'm honestly curious. That's not how I've understood the term to be used.
Remove apps you don't use. Turn off any system location data settings you don't need. Don't use high brightness on the display. Turn off cellular data for any apps that don't need it. Don't have email set to check on a fixed interval. Keep an eye on app battery usage and stop using apps that use significant amounts in the background. If your area has weak cellular, get a microcell or turn off cellular data at home using an automation.
China would have to have a strong motivation for doing so, as they'd be hurting their own economy in doing so
My personal impression is that Russian propaganda targets internal audience mostly, so its not fair to compare it to the Ukranians one.
F-16 is the only other type of fighters that Poland has, but giving up on those MIGs will reduce the number of active fighters to just around 50, that's a nearly 30% reduction and fewer than Ukraine had before the war. Given the delays in F-16 deliveries to other NATO countries, it would likely take some time for replacement to come in.
I read “Apple unveils MK ULTRA”
I think over all the designers that focused on how the products looked have lost the tight grip they had over them. For years, look was more important than function. It was probably a good thing since it helped make the company become what it is today. But giving engineering a bit more control is givings us some very functional products. Very cool.
> The F-16 is likely to be well within their budget today

They already own ~50, so that's a safe assumption. I'd suspect this trade involves free replacements from the US, too.
> Search is Google’s most lucrative unit. In 2020, the company generated $104 billion in “search and other” revenues, making up 71% of Google’s ad revenue and 57% of Alphabet’s total revenue.

From your second source. I guess you were conflating ad revenue to online advertisements. Its all ad revenue, but its not all online advertisements.
Apple accounted for this by making sure none of their monitors have a standard VESA mount.
Certainly a lot of full rehearsals.
> All I'm saying is the current design doesn't look good to me

That's not what you said. Here's what you actually said, which is ridiculously hyberbolic, hence this discussion.

> I think from a design perspective, this is the most disappointing Apple release so far.
Well said. I buy into your theory and $0.02. If we fall back to rules of polite conversation than trying to "fix" our compulsions then we don't even need a social network with filters or circles.
Again from a US perspective. A law may conflict with other laws or even the constitution and still be passed. The Judicial branch can rule that the law is not valid though. So if this law were to be passed in the US, RT could file a challenge to the law and ask a judge to place an injunction, or a hold on enforcement until it is resolved. Judges can grant those based on the harm, likelihood of success, or other interests involved.
Well if they committed a crime they would face the consequences. I don't know the story, and even if I did, it's a matter for the justice system to deal with and not social media.
Not really. Anyone can open their mouth. The challenge of "moving up the ladder" is in leveraging your resources (which might include your voice) to provide value to people who can help you. Most of these value exchanges do not happen on Twitter or even in public. Besides, how do you even quantify the series of events that leads someone to (for example) an Ivy League university, a job at McKinsey, a private equity firm, and eventually the top echelon of a company? There is a lot more to this than "opening your mouth" – in fact, "closing your mouth" is probably a better representation of the soft skills required for corporate success than "opening" it.

I bet if you tallied the executives of F500 companies, you would find a vast majority of them do not have a blog, or even a Twitter. And of those that do, you'd find most of them using it as an explicit asset (e.g. a VC tweeting for "thought leadership" that increases dealflow, a CSO building an audience to sell to, etc.). You will not find many of them tweeting personal political opinions, certainly none outside of the orthodoxy.

IMO, it's a miscalculation even to post thoughts aligned with the orthodoxy — you don't know how the environment will change. Five years from now, maybe we'll be cancelling all the people doing the cancelling today.
But IS there an interconnect?

The way Apple presented it sounded more like the chips talked at a lower layer, much like if it was all built as one physical chip, than when you have two normal chips with an interconnect fabric.

Someone will figure it out with benchmarks or something.
The show Soap was (literally) canceled for positive representations of homosexuals by people complaining to employers, issuing death threats, and etc.

https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/soap/

> Though the show’s ratings were still good in season four, ABC cancelled the series because of continued pressure from the so-called “moral majority.” By the end of the series, Vlasic pickles was the only advertiser interested in advertising on the series. In They’ll Never Put That on the Air, executive producer Paul Junger Witt said, “We weren’t killed by a fearful network. The network had been incredibly supportive. We had been doing this long enough to understand that they were in a business, and they sat down and showed us — dollar for dollar — why they couldn’t afford to do it anymore.”

The people who are part of cancel culture now are literally using the same scare tactics that were used to suppress and oppress homosexuals and other minority groups.
Jony contributed what he could. I think Apple is better off for having had him for a period of time, but that time has passed.
I mean, it's an example...
Not on a single GPU though and it’s 40x the cost!
It will be nationalized and business will continue. (Perhaps with a different logotype.) All in all, a net plus for Russia.
> PC user don't pay 4k for a computer

I'm almost certain that's not true, especially for machines that would compete with the Studio

> on PC you can get 2x the speed for 2x less the price.

Citation needed. This hasn't been true for a long time as far as I can tell.
I want to listen to neil young! lol
Just need to increment the 1 instead... Eventually moving into using letters instead of numbers, until we end up with the MK-ULTRA chip.
I'm really happy they're not going with a iMac pro form factor for these. Having a separate display and computer is great for avoiding e-waste. There are a ton of iMacs out there that have obsolete hardware but a screen that still works great.
Does it mine bitcoin well?
>If some country sends fighters...

Canada itself is not sending them, that is the distinction here. The humor is in a country exercising hostility by invading another country then asking people to stop coming to that country's defense, simple as that.
Can you not use a thunderbolt switch?

In my home office, I've got two monitors and a switch to flick input between a personal machine and a work machine.
Rich countries are not charities, such donation achieves no material nor political objectives.
Apple doesn't get a cut of software that's sold outside the App Store on MacOS.

And the most performant MacOS APIs for graphics rendering aren't on Linux AFAIK. Besides, game developers generally eschew compatibility layers because they harm performance.
Absolutely! Venezuela's oil (or any) industry is not viable. And you are absolutely right. Oil markets are incredibly inelastic in the short run.

Think about your individual energy consumption. I assume you have to drive and heat your house, and how much you drive, and weather you heat up your house, does not, in the short run, vary much weather gas is 2 dollars or 3. Many many people behave the same way, thus we deem demand to be inelastic.

Something similar happens on the supply side. Oil projects are incredibly capital intensive, sometimes taking years to come online. Thus oil companies, in the short term, can only extract so much oil from the ground, regardless of the price.

A supply or demand shock, that is, displacement of either curve to the right or left, leads to a much larger change of the clearing price.
That's the Russian propaganda. The Ukrainian propaganda says the Russians are the ones preventing people from leaving.
CoreML models may run on them to macOS's discretion. If you manage to get your neural network in CoreML's format you may use it.

One NY times article stated: "Just eat food". As a general rule of thumb, they stated, if your great grandmother doesn't recognize it as food, it probably isn't.

The primary food groups are:
- Beans
- Whole Grains
- Fruits
- Vegetables

the two secondary groups are:
- Nuts
- Seeds

And, you can eat some oil and sugar, just make sure it's not a vast amount. Know that anything in a wrapper or box or plastic bag that was made in a factory is roughly 50% oil. With Sat Fat, gotta be much more careful because it takes very little to go over in that category.

People always wonder what's so special about these foods (beans, whole grains, fruits, vegies), why are they healthy? why can't we just eat cheeseburgers everyday. It's just that, the whole foods plant based diet is what our ancestors ate for millions of years. it's what our body has adapted to for millions of years.

When scientists followed the hazda tribe (an untouched people, who still mostly live the way our ancestors lived) through their native area, they found that they mainly just ate plants. they grazed all day long, going from bush to bush eating leafy green vegetables, the occassional fruits. Their 2 day meal plant consisted of grabbing whatever leafy greens they happened to find that day. Of course, they're expert foragers and know what to eat. It may not seem like a varied diet but, there are over 80,000 edible plant species in the world. You likely have over a dozen growing in your backyard if you know what they look like: Dandelions, Dock, american willoherb, holleycock, mallow, wood sorrel, miners lettuce, nasturiums, etc.

Simply put, the diet that most closely mimics the foods that humans evolved to eat, are the ones that cause the least amount of health issues.

If you don't like eating greens all day, here's another idea:
2 Meal day:
Breakfast: Cacao powder with hot water and 1 TSP of soymilk or oatmilk*
Lunch: Oatmeal, 2 mangos
Dinner: Cabbage soup: carrots, tomatoes, cabbage with spices and beans,
Steamed Broccoli. a piece of whole wheat bread, and for dessert: some high fiber cereal with a little bit of soymilk and honey on top. (Yum!)

breakfast: cacao powder with hot water and soymilk.
Lunch: Juiced greens from the garden (whatever's growing that's edible), an apple, pear, couple of almonds, Lentil soup
Dinner: Garden salad with nuts, brown rice, tofu and tomato dish
dessert: chia seed pudding with soymilk and cinnamon.

*(Oatmilk - this is another one of those alternative health foods to watch out for: alot of these things are filled with oil and sugar. they say 2% oil but that's by weight, not calories, so vastly misleading). check the ingredient labels. Soemtimes, You can reverse engineer the real ingredient breakdown by calculating the % of fat or sat fat listed on the label vs the % of fat found in rolled oats.

Most people don't have time to eat greens 10 hours a day like the hazda do, so we have to rely on Beans and Whole Grains, nuts and seeds and fruits for most of our calories.
If you got banned by Twitter, it was probably more than merely "suggesting" that free speech was important.

Yeah, I don't get it. They are such a UX nightmare. My company was trying to implement something like that in our latest redesign of our site and I put my foot down about it. We are in the financial B2B space and I had to explain to the marketing team that people come to our site for information... not to be shown cute animation. Also (I haven't tested Apples take on it), they are often ADA nightmares.
They might have to have the unified memory more dense to get to 1.5 TB max of RAM on the machine (also since this would be originally shared with a GPU). Maybe they could stack the RAM on the SoC or just get the RAM at a lower process node.
Ha nikolie… sounds a lot like nikola ;)
I'm pretty sure the gamers who're always rocking high-end video cards are a small minority of PC gamers, anyway, even if we only count "serious" gamers (not just Candy Crush or whatever) to remove that potential objection.

A lot more probably find a best-bang-for-the-buck midrange card and hang on to it for ~3 years, before upgrading to another midrange card.
For what it's worth, you can disable retweets for people (and I think your entire feed).
I'm in mostly read-only mode on most social media. I only post in response to people I personally know for the most part and occasionally a few small-ish, independent creators whose work I support.

I sincerely believe we, humans as a species, do not handle scale well at all. There's just a limit to what we can fathom or process. And social media has scaled beyond our ability to comprehend how to socially interact with it.
Perhaps, but unfortunately there is not enough information to get even a toehold on an idea. Do people really go online to present a fake persona? Most embellish, and I bet some do, but does anyone else care enough to pay attention? For most folks I'd say no.

If GP said, "politics" then I'd get the drift.
The hand gestures were over the top.
Tactical nukes bend that roi calculation in favor of russia
Wouldn't work in practice - no one is going to pass an opportunity to broadcast their political views to as many people as possible.
An entry level M2 has been showing up in software developers logs.

4 big cores, 4 little cores (like the M1, but based on newer gen iPhone cores) and 10 GPU cores instead of 8. Said to be based on TSMC 4nm.
Capital means multiple owners pooling together; I don't believe that's a requirement for savage competition.

Every-man-for-himself type situations can also foster savage competition. Individuals can be savagely competitive.

Capital rather enables anti-competition: eliminating the need to compete by eradicating competitors through monopolistic power, and gentlemen's agreements regarding pricing and territory.

Whenever two people pool their resources together to form the capital base for a business venture, they cease to be potential competitors. From that alone we can suspect that capitalism is more about savage accretion and acquisition rather than competition.
The US has hundreds of F-16s mothballed in Arizona. I'd expect they're about to be busy reactivating a few dozen in the next couple of weeks.
You can also interpret it as a way of saying "we're either in this together, or not".
That's really dangerous. I'm not sure that Russia will care to distinguish between current and former military personnel when it considers whether NATO countries have intervened.
I've worked off Apple Cinema displays since the '90s and Apple Studio displays before that. I am a monitor snob. I care deeply how things look.

I currently have an Apple XDR Pro monitor. It's not a great monitor - it is indeed big, the outside is as cool as anything ever made, and the USB-C hub is nice. But in EVERY other way it is badly inferior to the stock 5K monitor that comes with even the cheapest 27" iMac from a few years ago. I've been wishing for just an 27" iMac monitor that I can plug into my laptop, since that's the best non-laptop monitor I've found - even contemplated building a Frankenstein one. I'm excited I can now just buy one.
I really wish they focused on bigger displays too. For music/video production having at least 2x27'' screen size is crucial. But two is kind of weird because you can't centre any app. And there is kind of too much...
Yep, this is the requisite "hey Hollywood I know we haven't thought about your studio needs in a while, here's a bone that reminds you why Apple is the industry standard" play.
The remainder can be explained by bread and games = cheap food and game consoles which kept the kids playing in the house instead of being part of a gang.
Apple has consistently been cost-competitive since at least the Intel era, if you compare to mid- and high-end PC hardware. Apple
never has made entry-level systems. Also, comparing to home-built doesn’t really count because most IT departments won’t support custom PCs.
