Ukrainian officials have been saying that losing nuclear status was a mistake at least 4 years ago. https://www.rbc.ru/politics/11/04/2018/5ace2a089a79478435462...

In addition, according to statements by some of the employees, Zaporozhye NPP transferred some nuclear materials for scientific research related to plans to develop Ukrainian nuclear weapons. The IAEA inspections were aware of the transfer of nuclear materials for military needs.

When a free and independent Cuba placed nuclear missiles under America's belly, no one cared about its free and independent status.

When Russia defends its state interests, I only hear that I am going to the Gulag. no one will talk about how many people will never be able to leave Guantanamo. No one will count how many wars the US has unleashed. no one will remember the bombing of Yugoslavia.

if you're really interested in my contributions, you'll get them from whatever country I want. if you just don't want to see the existence of Russia, you just continue the stories about the Gulag.

PS I also see how other countries close their airspace to Russia, and not vice versa.
This doesn't work because of the Flynn effect. Raw IQ scores have been consistently increasing over time. So much so that the average person in the 1920s would be considered mentally challenged today, if you used their raw IQ scores. However, we know that obviously the average person in the 1920s was not mentally challenged in the sense that someone with that same raw score would be today.

This is all a pretty big mystery and suggests we really don't understand this "IQ" thing we are measuring. However, one big consequence is that we definitely cannot meaningfully compare scores across time.
Can confirm this was a mistake I made when mass-compiling the docs
I don’t buy Apple products for philosophical reasons, but the Mac Mini, and now Mac Studio, are everything I wish Intel NUCs were. I have an Intel Skull Canyon system from 2016 as my gaming PC and it fits in my wife’s purse. Since then, the gaming NUC variants have gotten larger and larger so that they’re nearly mini-ATX form factor again.
Peak oil was all about the supply side peaking, and what that would mean in an environment of increasing, very inelastic demand.

It looks like demand will peak first instead, which is quite different.
I think some of this can be guessed from the SoC codenames

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

M1 Max is Jade C-Die => 64GB

M1 Ultra is Jade 2C-Die => 128GB

There is a still unreleased SoC called Jade 4C-Die =>256GB

So I think that's the most we'll see this generation, unless they somehow add (much slower) slotted RAM

If they were to double the max RAM on M2 Pro/Max (Rhodes Chop / Rhodes 1C), which doesn't seem unreasonable, that would mean 512GB RAM on the 4C-Die version, which would be enough for _most_ Mac Pro users.

Perhaps Apple is thinking that anyone who needs more than half a Terabyte of RAM should just offload the work to some other computer somewhere else for the time being.

I do think it's a shame that in some ways the absolute high-end will be worse than before, but I also wonder how many 1.5TB Mac Pros they actually sold.
AMD is currently shipping high-end CPUs built with up to nine dies. Their ordinary desktop parts have up to three. They are not built with "cache in-between". There is one special I/O die but it does not contain any cache. Each compute die contains its own cache.
A TB4 connection is, for all intents and purposes, "local". Way faster than any network storage.
What's funny here are that the example issues you listed are exactly the issues that the vast majority of Americans actually do agree on. Those are wedge issues that were carefully crafted by political parties to try and create a division in popular opinion when there isn't one. It's a fairly common political strategy nowadays.
If I lived in Lithuania I would probably feel very scared of Russia, and not care much about what is good for NATO, the US, and the world. If I thought I would be accepted without repercussions, I would probably want that.
This is something else I forgot to mention, but it drives me absolutely mental. Music vanishing from my playlists, old TV shows I'm watching are suddenly not available. Paying for that kind of experience strikes me as a horrid proposition.
are people using cancel to refer to the pile on mobs or what they consider unfair escalation in consequences? i mentioned in another post, im on the receiving end on a pile on I think, but i wouldn't say i'm being canceled.

if you say internet communities have an issue with pile on mobs and harassment, id agree but i think that's different then canceling, which i don't think happens to the average person or they even need to worry about
40x of ? they don't have any disclosed revenue numbers .

$100m/ $4B is not 40x valuation it is just that they are diluting only 2.5% for that $100m . It just means they need only relatively small amount money and are in good spot financially and can afford to dilute very less.

Had they raised $500m on $4B post or $1B on $4B post the valuation is not changing to 8x or 4x.

Why should they raise more than they need because their valuation is high? Should they raise $200m if the valuation is $8B ? If they need only $100m in capital , they only need to only dilute that much.
you are on call half of the year?
Is it not? Someone going on a "Twitter rant" is voicing disagreement in a public forum about important issues of the day, sometimes even including the topic of educating your kids. I don't think either activity is bad or wrong, but they seem substantially equivalent to me.
Tweetdeck. It's the "pro" Twitter client that has strict chrono ordering and won't show likes or trending items. You can also set it to not show any retweets, at all.
The question is if they can be given, all F-16 sold by the US were export models, not domestic.
If I'm reading the graph in the press release right, M1 Ultra will have a TDP of 60W, right? A 3990X has a TDP of 280W. I know TDP != power draw, and that everyone calculates TDP differently, but looking purely at orders of magnitude, no, it's not even close.
Yes but to try and experiment with those assets "in game", they'd need to use a PC.
There is another silent majority: those who have their opinions cancelled by social media outlets. This includes Twitter.
I'm really curious how some people can bend their own minds in such a way that Russia invading a sovereign country is somehow the fault of "The West".

With all due respect, there was nothing to negotiate. Practically every world leader came to Putin's virtual doorsteps and tried to negotiate. Olaf Scholz even hinted at the fact that Ukraine wont be able to join NATO anyways bc of various reasons. But none of that helped. Putin has nuclear bombs. If we were to bend to his will bc he threatened to invade Ukraine, then we might as well pack our stuff, bc he has bigger threats. I can already see the messages on our post-nuclear-winter internet "Well, Proto-Putin threatened to start a nuclear war. The West had every chance to just allow him to crown himself Godking of Earth. This was the West's fault!".

I'm sorry but your worldview is cynical.

> so I am convinced the war could have been stopped,

Yes, by Putin. But he didnt. And that's somehow the fault of the West, I guess?

The steady state is like Big-O notation; it’s already talking about the edge (as time grows to infinity). A single day deviation doesn’t really matter — your queue might shrink and grow a little day-to-day, but on average it’ll grow more than it shrinks, and you’re ultimately fucked.

If your utilization looked like 100% on one day, 0% on another, and flipping back and forth (allowing the queue to clear) then by definition your steady state isn’t 100%, its more like 50%.

And of course if your time bound is limited, or your potential customers is limited, then naturally everything is limited. But like big-O, the notion is to describe what happens when your inputs grows to infinity
WebGPU is better in many dimensions, but also worse in others people might care about. More appropriately, in this case, WebGPU is in many ways less approachable for novices.

One of the expected advantages of WebGPU is exposing the inner workings of the hardware's GPU support in a more explicit manner. This leads to really verbose code. This is similar to API movements seen in DirectX, Vulkan, and Metal.

WebGL was never exactly easy to read either, but you could get started more easily. It tried being something in-betweenm though, and ended up never being the best at either providing explicit behavior, nor being friendly.

The idea of WebGPU going forward is that it will make it easier for other libraries to use it in a more deterministic fashion. If you know how the metal works, you'll be able to optimize the sh*t out of it. But for novices, you'll end up using some library or engine that abstracts away a lot of the hardcore functionality like "let's get an adapter that supports this specific texture extension" or "let's reuse a binding group layout to save 2ns when binding uniforms". In the same way most people on the web use Three.js (instead of WebGL), you'll see libraries like Babylon or Three.js making use of WebGPU without really having to know about all that stuff. And that's the right solution.
Yeah - you're probably right

There's no free media in Russia anymore. What had remained - had been shut down. If you want to hear 'the other side' - you already do by listening to Putin.

Democratic countries have a right to defend themselves from propaganda especially from a country that have invaded another.
There's more demand for streaming games, than games for Macs.

Desktop Macs with GPUs even remotely capable of gaming are not that plentiful.
Russia's losses today would be much higher if they could figure out logistics. Ukraine might be running out of targets on the front lines. /s

More seriously, think about it percentage wise. Russia is losing resources (tanks, missiles, etc) in a hurry. And the floor is not "zero XYZ remaining" otherwise they would have nothing left in the entire country to defend themselves with. They only have what they allocated for their idiotic invasion and no more. Russia may already be running low on cruise missiles based on the relatively peaceful night in Kyiv.
That part is wrong if your database can perform index-only queries. In that case if all columns you query are part of the index the query can be answered from the index alone, so you don't have to read any parts of the actual table.
There is a pretty big philosophical difference between a Canadian private citizen taking their own equipment to Ukraine and a Canadian soldier follows orders into Ukraine.

Obviously the real world has more complexity than that. "Complain about it" could mean "We know about your tax incentives driving your citizens to fight us and we want you to end that program" but is more likely to mean "We want you to police your internal borders and prevent your citizens from traveling to Europe"
> Bravo Apple. I'd love to see what they have in store for designers and programmers next.

What would you say the programmers specifically need though. A laptop instead of a workstation?
It's hard to militarily inflict a limp on an opponent who may use nukes, without creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. And NATO policy has always been that first-strike on nuclear-armed opponents is always an option. Election debates in the UK have hinged on whether the candidate will commit to first-strike, with staunch establishment criticism if the answer is not a clear "yes". China officially forecloses the idea of any first-strike, and the SU did too in the 80s, but that was reneged on by Russia when it broke up in the 90s. Just in the last 4 years, the US head of state referred to using them, relatively transparently. The point is that it is shockingly common to reserve the nuclear option, and even to highlight it. I am absolutely not saying "therefore it's not that bad" -- quite the opposite, I'm saying that we should be glad that nations seem don't have a knee-jerk reaction to such psychotic statements from their opponents, and we should follow suit. Let cooler heads prevail.

And economic sanctions can be just a slow version of carpet bombing. The figures are disputed, but some claim hundreds of thousands of children alone died under the Iraq sanctions. I haven't read enough to judge the issue, but the official position was that even if true, it "is a very hard choice, but the price, we think the price is worth it." I wouldn't support that kind of logic in trying to inflict a limp either.

So my main point is that it's hard to come up with any "harder the better" approach that isn't suicidal or pure cruelty for ordinary Ukrainians and Russians, and bad for NATO member citizens too. I think the invasion is evil too, but the punishment talk is just empty talk -- everyone's getting punished pretty hard right now as it is.
Good. None of these releases matter to me if all those machines can run is Mac OS. I'm not a Linux freak, but I like machines that last a long time. Long term support is the weak spot of any proprietary design. Given the incredible hardware capabilities of these new boxes, the 5 or 6 years official expected official lifecycle is waaay too short.

False dichotomy. It's not a choice between pipeline and rail, it's a choice between pipeline, rail, and nothing. Since its neighbours receive nothing but liabilities, regardless of which option is taken, I'll go with nothing.

Tar sands oil is an endless, pointless jobs program. It's barely afloat when oil prices are high, and a rock around the neck of the Canadian economy, and GHG commitments when they aren't. I'm not interested in drastically cutting back on my energy usage, to balance the books with one of the dirtiest fuel producers in the world.

Pipelines do nothing for me, but encourage this economically-destructive industry to expand. For every dollar of wealth it generates, it destroys a dollar and a dime.
Yeah but in game dev increasingly the tooling is integrated in the engine and so doing assets on a mac, then bringing them over to a PC and putting them into the game is an incredible unnecessary and annoying friction point.

Increasingly rare to find an artist that only works in photoshop and isn't working in the engine, directly putting their work into the game.

Accordingly even the art side is using PCs.
It's definitely not sufficient, we've seen people being cancelled who did not do anything bad.
They may be referring to the Non-Arm Windows. Let me tell you Parallels running Windows ARM is the snappiest Windows experience I have had in years....only problem is that its Windows 11 :/

Really wish there was someway to easily run Windows 7 or 8 on this thing. It would be bliss. Now that Windows XP Source has been leaked, maybe we can come together as a community, try to harden the OS and make it forward compatible with ARM. Bring back the Windows that people actually somewhat liked! If only that wasn't a monumental task :/
It looks like they made a taller computer then cut it off 2/3 of the way down. Something about the proportions read as simply wrong.

Large businesses do. I bet in some places you could get grant/loan incentives to replace a PC fleet with these things.

Back in the Pentium-4 days, iirc I was able to get almost $250k in grants and $1.5M in subsidized loans to do accelerated refresh of a PC fleet and small datacenter, all through a utility's peak load reduction program.
As someone who hasn't really gamed since Crysis, looking at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5rYjHuZsM0, I have to say I feel.... not impressed at all? Maybe that video is a poor example, but the plants for instance look absolutely awful, especially up close.

macOS draws only at 1x or 2x. 3x is iOS only.

Apples decision to support only integer scaling was what allowed them to adopt Retina displays very quickly. Unfortunately it led to a subotimal solution in the long term.
Use the remote control technology in the latest MacOS. It will allow the keyboard and mouse from the Studio to control the laptop. Even more environmentally friendly than having an extra cable.
Tell me about it.

I live in an area impacted by Hurricane Ida. For a long while, we had electricity, but no internet. Having physical media meant I could still watch/listen to things.
Russians shelled civilian infrastructure(water supply, power plant), and shoot everyone who was trying to fix it, they didn't let in humanitarian convoy. They shelled evacuation meeting point. Twice. And placed landmines on evacuation route. They resorted to similar tactics in previous conflicts.

And if you look at how Russians have been behaving themselves ever since this war has started, then you will realize that Azov don't need civilians as a human shield since Russians are willingly shelling and bombing civilians, and have been doing it ever since this war started. Human shield won't stop Russians.
In Ireland (ROI), Irish being the first official language of the state, constitutionally the Irish language version of a law takes precedence (Article 25, 4.6º) over an English language version (this applies to the constitution itself also).

Many laws are written in English in the first place though (the president can sign either form), sadly it's sometimes a decade or more before an official translation is made. A secondary problem is the insistence of a defendant to have his trial heard in the Irish language, or have Irish forms of the various laws/summons/transgressions. We usually call those people "cute hoors".

Would be interesting to get more info on the neural engine. On one hand, I find it fascinating that major manufacturers are now putting neural architectures into mainstream hardware.

On the other hand I wonder what exactly it can do. To what degree are you tied into a specific neural architecture (eg recurrent vs convolutional), what APIs are available for training it, if it's even meant to be used that way (not just by Apple-provided featues lke FaceID)?
Ice Lake shipped in 2019. The current generation is Alder Lake, which is slightly ahead of the M1 in single-threaded performance according to most benchmarks.
The Mac Pro will have replaceable RAM. It will use the RAM soldered onto the CPU as cache.

This is such a fascinating look at how commerce doesn’t just mean “economic commerce.”

We experienced this with supply shocks with COVID as well.

It’s interesting to balance “have the ability to meet our needs logistically” with “don’t create price cartels that cause inefficiency in the market.”

Seems we’d have a vested national security interest in both securing commerce and enabling price competitiveness.
While I agree in general, there are plenty of circumstances where people don't get to not have an opinion about things.

For example, you can't "agree to disagree" on LGBTQ rights if you belong to one of those categories. See also pregnant people and abortion rights.

So, this article states that 42% of Americans identify as politically independent. This beats the next largest political identity (Democrats, 29%) by 13%. Yet, the political system has been rigged - obviously so, for anyone who cares to look - so that an independent party fails to get the 5% necessary to get onto the ballot and future funding for the next election cycle for presidential running.

How is it that there is nothing that can be done to alleviate this type of obvious voter suppression and electoral corruption on a national scale?

I understand this is tertiary to the title, but makes up a large part of the article, so I thought I'd bring it up.

Definitely, these two things are about two different kinds of statement though. One which directly affects you, where voicing will dramatically improve your situation. The second type of statement is where you discuss something as a hobby, which might not affect you or your close ones, and where you are under informed, and have little to gain personally, while running the full risk of offending someone.
