Several Intel and AMD motherboards have both Thunderbolt ports along with a DisplayPort in port that lets you pipe the output of a discrete GPU (like an RTX 3080) through the Thunderbolt connection. These will probably work just fine with the Studio display. Some PC laptops with Thunderbolt and more capable GPUs probably work with it too.
A good reminder that we should all be screenshotting everything of interest, just in case it won't be believed later.
Whataboutism works both ways, come on.

It is OUR access to media that is being censored - it is OUR free media market that is being repressed. Russia isn't doing this to us, we're doing it to ourselves.

YOU say their media is from a country that kills journalists (as does ours) and bans independent media (as does ours) - it can be said about any of the major powers today. This is precisely why we must question what we are being told - but we can't do that if we don't have access to the original sources on the subject.

I don't believe RT propaganda is necessarily going to sway my opinion about anything, any less than CNN would .. but thats a decision I want to make for myself - I don't need autocratic talking heads making it for me.
Pre-existing TV deals. For example, the rights to non-national NBA games are sold to LocalCableCompany SportsNet. On occasion, these games get promoted to one of that national rights holders (TNT, ESPN/ABC) so there's some mechanism for that in the contract. But the league is no doubt precluded from selling to the local cable channel and then undercutting them via their own website.

TL;DR - it's not a technical problem but a licensing problem that will solve itself once the contracts expire.
I think Twitter has disproportionate influence because all the journalists are on Twitter, and end up amplifying it.

How many times have a seen TV hosts just basically read Twitter.

Twitter is an easy way for journalists/TV personalities to generate stories.
> a.k.a. slavery

On the case of war, conscription. It's disturbingly similar, but it's different. In peace times it's usually on the lines of "keep producing or your business will be closed", what is not that similar as the working people are not the ones facing the ultimatum (if it's ever done to a small company, then yes, it's like slavery).

> In a war the goal is not to make life easier for the consumer -- the goal in that case is to get the consumer to stop consuming what the war machine needs for itself.

Economies are large complicated beasts that move all kinds of products. When governments intervene, they do it in more than one way and with more than one goal.

Price fixing also goes with rationing so that the population stays fed.
The unused part is what bothers me, like I actively make sure I use windows for as little outside of gaming for various reasons.

But for the price to use it, ok not rarely since I game a lot... but considering I also have consoles. I would say I use my Mac more.

I just wonder if this is ever going to be a realistic alternative or am I just always going to have 2 personal computers.
Unfortunately I bought an LG 4k display from Apple last year (or was it the year before?) for home office work so it'll be a tough sell to buy something new, but this solves a couple of my problems with my home office setup, namely having to put in headphones with a mic for every video call since I use my Mac in clamshell mode, and having an external webcam mounted on my monitor. This is very close to "one cable to rule them all" setup. Maybe I'll just have to save some of my allowance for a bit :P

Maybe it won't be M at all? I still reckon they might do discrete GPUs for the pro model, which could make it quite different to the other M chips.
You definitely could (and, indeed, I can imagine beneficial use cases for a "renice" feature in a browser like Chrome with its Task Manager).

But there's less of a significant need for it. Main CPU performance is too poor on hashing datasets to much benefit from salami-slicing user CPU at scale. That trick is much likelier to get you a solved block in the blockchain if you can tap user GPUs on a couple million users.
It's laggy on Firefox in in a 2014 MBP as well. I won't blame Apple, this is just the state of web animation with CSS3 and Lottie.

Weird to think that Flash handled this kind of animation seamlessly on browsers 15 years ago.
There are two groups – people you describe (who have no life and spend 8 hours a day on Twitter) and people who have made a career out of being a social media personality. Most online spaces today are simply a series of weird interactions between these two groups with the "normal" user stuck in the middle.

I tried to read and understand it but frankly it's a bit of a rant. See the comments in the other thread, looks more like a personal vendetta from the owner of that Twitter account
Hah, this is my brain thoroughly broken by forced IE-compatibility for so long on legacy apps, but I completely forgot about custom properties when I was writing that comment! You're right, that's a much better solution.

I still don't think I recommend it, because sure it gets rid of the problem of accidentally breaking CSS namespace, but I still think in most cases sticking comments inside of a property is going to end up confusing people on a team more often than it will help, and there are still some syntax issues and conflicts with your own internal variables that can happen.

But for sure, if you're going to use properties for notes, make them custom properties.

----

Edit: I particularly don't recommend this, but off the top of my head using custom properties you also might be able to rig this up with something like `:before` pseudo-classes to even display some of your CSS comments visibly in the page via `content` or by building style toggles[0] or something.

Again, I feel like this is getting too clever for its own good, but as long as we're playing around...

It’s easier to tell in video form. But basically you could see the shells come from the road in the distance (see the bridge?) all the way past the camera. The still frame probably makes it hard to see the scale.

You’re right to press me for details on the “tank” part. I don’t know if the shots are from tanks. But they’re so large that it rules out foot soldiers, so it’s some kind of vehicle-mounted gun.

It’s definitely not the kind of thing you want hitting a nuclear reactor.
Can you clarify how are our information censored in the west? Like specifically what kind of information is actively suppressed by a government actor?
True, it's not easy. But if you never start and try, I guarantee that it's even more unlikely to happen.

It's said that it's the journey not the goal so make the journey fun. If there are ever a set of people that can figure out how to solve a problem, HN has them. So,figure out how to solve your dream problem.

True, doing nothing is so much easier but I don't recommend it since you won't like the result.
Macs does support non-integer scaling. In fact, macOS currently ships non-integer scaling by default in certain MBP models. It gets criticized from time to tome, though the newer 14/16” MBPs ship 200% as default again.

Same, I want to run AAA games using these crazy Mac hardwares. A more interesting question will be: how hard it will be to implement such Proton for Mac? Is there any previous project?
The Mac Studio starts at $1999 and at that price probably is faster than a $2k PC.
I'm kind of the same way, but I don't have a Twitter account, and haven't really ever had one. I have a private chat server with other people who make things and share them with each other. It's tacitly understood that we support each other's work and provide constructive feedback. Not to mention emojis. It's nice, gives me the brain chemicals I need, and I don't need to get exposed to Twitter. So, if you are hesitant about Twitter for any other reason, I'm here to say that you can learn in public without it.
There are bidirectional DisplayPort <-> USB-C cables, as well as DisplayPort+USB-A -> USB-C cables/adapters that work with the XDR display at 6k, or there are PCIe cards that add a USB-C port with DisplayPort alt-mode support

Only problem is that you'll probably need to extract a BootCamp driver to control brightness/volume, assuming one will exist for this monitor.

(well, if it supports HDR input, you'd use Window's SDR brightness to control it that way instead)
For what? A 2014 display for 1600$?
Apologies, my statement about it wasn't meant to actively accuse you of being a state actor, because I have zero mental power and desire left trying to figure out who is a state actor and who isn't. I mostly mentioned it to justify as to why I made a copy of my comment from elsewhere in the thread. Because you being accused of that by multiple people pretty much guarantees that my child comment/question will not be seen by most people who could actually provide any help.

No hard feelings, and I really appreciate your help.
Why would you put such a low prediction on that website when you can predict a percentage in the range of [41%, 59%] and have guaranteed points?
Sugar is bad, but it's only one part of the picture:

"Evidence-informed dietary priorities include increased fruits, nonstarchy vegetables, nuts, legumes, fish, vegetable oils, yogurt, and minimally processed whole grains; and fewer red meats, processed (e.g., sodium-preserved) meats, and foods rich in refined grains, starch, added sugars, salt, and trans fat."

Yes, but video streaming has been out for 5+ years. How long are these licensing deals?

I guess they must be betting that the TV deals will earn them more money in the short term than snubbing them and hoping to build up their audience directly.

But I wonder how many new generation viewers they are losing. Or perhaps major sports was inevitably going to decline anyway compared to alternative entertainment options, so might as well milk the cow while they can.
NATO has never been a force for unilateral aggression its a defensive pact. Russia was never been at risk from invasion from NATO for the same reason that nobody is attacking Russia right now they fear nuclear war. Russia being threatened is a lie. A pretext for expansion by mass murder.

The entire phrase "expanding to their border" betrays a defective world view. Ukraine was considering joining a defensive pact to deter Russian aggression with obvious justification. The usage of "their border" somehow manages to imply ownership and violation. Nobody has a right to tell their neighbor they can't just a defensive pact or indeed any agreement whatsoever because of adjacency. Such deals don't take place by both parties standing on the dividing line and spitting onto Russian territory together. They take place within the respective countries capitals by their respective lawmakers.

The murderer doesn't have a right to stop his victims from conspiring to resist him.
Meanwhile Russia is busy trying to recruit foreign soldiers themselves from Kazakhstan and Syria. Kazakhstan told them no, despite begging Russia to send their troops into their country when riots broke out a few months ago.

"12Hz" is about how fast their website refreshed on me on my i7 MacBook Pro.
Well yes and no. M1 Ultra is obviously faster, but that actually is two M1 Maxes glued together. (Of course it's much more complicated than that) In that sense it's not a completely new processor so it's not exactly breaking the "Max" promise... or am I playing devil's advocate here?

I meant physiological harm, definitely a mistype on my end.

That said, psilocybin is highly sensitive to set and setting, especially to other neural nets and especially to others also on it. There is a massive host of issues in partaking with friends or around anyone else for that matter. It will amplify hidden untruths or other sort of otherwise “benign” sober psychological distress and make them acute.

What people call a “bad trip” I call an important lesson. We can choose to react negatively and label it accordingly, or visit it in a sense that a very advanced mindset was indicating a problem. When done this way, bad states cease to exist and it becomes clear the “bad trips” were just bad other things that needed some conscious attention.

All this to say: go get lost in the woods and trip with some plants & with people who hang with that setting, they will take care of you and it is a much better setting to do the work on self.
There is a world of difference between 60 Hz and 144 Hz, though. I don’t think I can go back to anything less than 120.
Thank you for sharing this. It is definitely very interesting and worthy of further study - especially given what we know already about how children and adults differ in response to COVID. I'd imagine we'll start to see more of these studies in the near future.
In my American centric view of the separation of powers, that's not how it'd work at all. The legislature would pass a law allowing the banning of media (ignoring the issue if that's a good idea or not for this hypothetical), the executive would enforce the law by deciding to ban RT and justifying their decision with a written record, and RT could then challenge that decision in court (the judicial branch), and they would decide if the executive followed the law, and didn't make an arbitrary and capricious decision. That seems like what's happening here. You don't want the judiciary deciding these things sua sponte, because they're not an accountable branch.
Are people really paying 1.6k for a 60hz monitor?
MLB has mlb.tv which as you noted was started out of MLB Advanced Media (which iirc got sold to Disney). But TV contracts are extremely lucrative for them and fanbases have attachments to their local announcer crew who are employed by the TV networks.
Yep in here in North Texas we had Fox Sports Southwest to watch all Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Stars, and Texas Rangers (NBA, NHL, MLB). But now they are on Bally's which had some sort of dispute so they are no longer on Hulu/YouTubeTv. To make it all worse now Bally's is going to come out with their own application next year that you will need to subscribe to. I love basketball and we currently have Luka Doncic but I have just given up.
There's no point in attacking Russian cities or civillian targets. These are fighters specialized in sabotage behind enemy lines and highly mobile guerilla warfare. They make enemy military infrastructure go boom. Just what Ukraine needs right now: turning Russian combat vehicles into wrecks or stuck/abandoned vehicles, sabotaging supply lines.
Twitter is to a significant degree what you make of it and who you follow.

I think that’s great.

I don’t believe in living in fear of how people might react.

Of course I choose my battles; and I don’t walk up to strangers and tell them their baby is ugly. But that’s not being suppressed, IMHO.

And I don’t keep narrow-minded people among my close friends.
I guess it's useful if your goal is to figure out how to divide kids into separate math classes. I don't think anyone intended ability to rotate blocks and scramble letters as a timeless gauge of the quality of a person.

You before this comment:

> Price controls have never worked, and never will work, because they cannot work.

You after this comment:

> There is always a sense in which price controls work.

That's all I was trying to get at. We agree they work. If you know what effects they're going to have, and they match your intentions, then they work. If you know the general populace will have a shortage of N95 masks but hospital workers will be getting every mask produced in the country at a reasonable price, then it works. If your state has a cold snap and your citizens don't see $100k bills for a few hours of power (even though many folks will experience blackouts), then it works.

FWIW black and white statements like "price controls never work" ring of a certain "rah-rah unfettered capitalism is always the answer" mentality that lacks nuance. Just because you've taken some macroeconomic classes doesn't mean that how things work is all that simple.
It looks like the son of the Mac Cube.

For me, windows 10 will be the last time I use a windows-based OS. For most of my daily needs, Linux has been more than sufficient. I only keep my old windows partition to play certain video games, and even then, WINE is enough. I remember how good Windows 7 was, I have seen the writing on the wall with Windows 10 and unfortunately / fortunately, I probably won't be coming back.
99.82% now and dropping fast.
Haha, bloody hell, what a monster of a chip. I find my M1 Max already remarkably fast. The change is so huge. It's like in the old days when you'd get a new computer and it felt like it could do things before you could think of doing them.

But surely the GPU things can't be real? The GPU in the M1 Ultra beats the top-of-the-line Nvidia? That's nuts.
When you smoke with people these days, they only take a couple of hits. In the 90s when we smoked it was joint after joint after joint.

It's basically the cigarette filter thing; people know where they want to get, and they'll keep going until they get there, no matter how weak you make it. Which is what made filtered cigarettes worse for your lungs than unfiltered ones.

The calculus would be different if you were talking about edibles, because they actually sneak up on and can surprise you.
That really is a shame. Mac screens have been amazing for a long time now, but as soon as the computer inside them is outdated and slow, the whole device including the still awesome display is obsolete. Thats the main reason I'd probably never buy an iMac.

More seriously, yes, if you were starting a browser completely from scratch, this would probably be a good approach. There are some subtleties, but probably nothing that couldn't be solved with some elbow grease.

If anyone is seriously interested in exploring this direction, one thing that would be very interesting is a port of piet-gpu to run on top of WebGPU (it's currently running on Vulkan, Metal, and DX12). I've done quite a bit of pre-work to understand what would be involved, but don't personally have the bandwidth to code up the WebGPU port. I would be more than happy to work with somebody who does.

I think that advice is not necessarily correct.

Suppose you have this query:

select a, b
from T
where x = 1

And suppose you have an index on x. You can locate the x=1 INDEX records using the index quickly (probably no more than 1-3 disk accesses). But then the qualifying TABLE records have to be retrieved. That index lookup could turn up thousands of qualifying records, and now you have to retrieve each record to get the a, b values.

Now suppose that you replace your index on (x) with an index keyed by (x, a, b). You can still search for x=1 using this index, but now, the (a, b) values that you are SELECTing are present in the index itself. You don't have get the table records to get those values. That can save a lot of random accesses, and there are secondary effects, since the pages containing those records aren't brought into the disk cache.

Yes, this wider index has space and update costs, but the benefit is often worth it.
