Oh come on, you can't expect any good from one of the most corrupt men of South America? Really?

He's from the same corrupt political lineage as the Kirchner family in Argentina, do you really want to fund the people that only mange to bring misery to these countries?

The interview you link is just our everyday populist discourse: show yourself aligned to whatever is the hop topic of the moment, get elected, do nothing about it and continue to use the power to finance your own corrupt agenda. Didn't work? No worries, you can always use the "heavy heritage" from Bolsonaro as an excuse.
Yes, the red army stood at the border. Were else, so? It was either at the Chinese / Japanese border or the West. The West had Finland and Germany. Besides that, no reliable evidence was ever found to back any claims that Stalin planned to attack Germany. The whole idea just came up as Nazi-propaganda and apologists claim to paint Barbarossa as anything other than the start of war of annihilation in the East. Because that's what it was.
Well, apparently he said:

> I have cooled down regarding this question a long time ago after we understood that... Nato is not prepared to accept Ukraine,

So no, he didn’t say he will not pursue NATO membership.
Start editing high res video, and those TB's will quickly fill up.
It's the large-scale version of taking "DRY" too literally.

Junior devs just repeat themselves because they don't know better.

Middle devs rush into an incomplete abstraction by overzealously not-repeating-themselves.

Senior devs just repeat themselves because they know they don't understand what it would take to abstract out the solution.

Like everything... "It Depends". Don't Repeat Yourself Too Much.

In this analogy, doesn't the wild animal then typically get killed?
There is a lot of support for M1. See these lists. Please note though that "playable" does not mean "on par with other platforms", ie, Windows and Xbox / Playstation.

NATO is and was a defensive alliance. The idea that NATO is the military of the western world was briefly useful for American, err, propaganda ("look, the whole world supports these bombings, it's not just us"), and is now being used to serve Russian propaganda ("help help the belligerent gang of nations wants to set up bases within driving distance of Moscow.") but was never really true.

If NATO confers any offensive power, it's to let member states push harder on nonmilitary avenues because it gives them less to fear in terms of military reprisals. Otherwise, there's article 4 which allows member states which are independently deciding to act to do so with some association with the NATO flag. When nations send delegates to sit in a big room and vote they are expressing their policies, not deciding them.

>You can't have it both ways, make the us hide behind the NATO skirt and say not everyone has participated.

I'm trying to have it the second way. The US was only able to cover its action with the flag of NATO insofar as people haven't read what Article 4 says countries can do (basically, talk to each other).
No, there is with DSC. 144Hz with HDR, or 180Hz with SDR. Or even 240Hz with two HBR2 streams.
If that Pew Research survey is there only source (it's the one they link when they make the claim) it looks like 25% of Americans use twitter. But that doesn't mean that 25% actually makes tweets. It's probably possible to cross that with public twitter numbers on active tweeters, but I've heard 1% make 99% of the tweets before, and in my own experience that seems accurate.

Most people I know who use twitter use it to stay up to date with creators they care about.
This doesn’t seem to be two cores connected in standard SMP configuration, or with a shared cache between them. Apple claims there were like 10,000 connection points.

It sounds like this operates as if it was one giant physical chip, not two separate processors that can talk very fast.

I can’t wait to see benchmarks.
I disagree because I am not saying NATO should capitulate... just that when you don't compromise in any way even when it's in your own interest to do so just because you believe you have all leverage in the world, and then the strategy backfires, that you should take some responsibility as well.
They keep asking for transparency and then go on to mention every single individual involved by name except the person they're actually talking about?
It sounded strange to me when they called it modular but to me it seems they call it modular for not including a display.
More margin than ever now that they're just gluing ARM processors together instead of buying Xeons from Intel?
Is there any point to building a PC anymore?
Hey look, it's finally the "Missing Mac" as longed for here: https://digitalfilms.wordpress.com/2020/06/12/the-missing-ma...
and here: https://www.cultofmac.com/1899/the-missing-macintosh/

Fans have been asking for such a thing for so many years.
Most likely not. Doing something like this is several years of lead time, these would have been planned before COVID was a thing
I would say actively have a dream. I'm talking about the parents of students and prospective students as well as parents and family of kids who had no intention of going into higher education at all.

All of the parents, once you got them to open up, had dreams about how their life would/could turn out.

Very few ever had a plan on how to make that, but more of a hopeful 'one day' sort of attitude.
You can turn off seeing retweets from accounts you follow on a per-account basis, and more people (including yourself, if you're ever curious to go back to Twitter) should more aggressively use the option to make the site far more enjoyable. Lots of accounts are fine to follow on their own, but complete spam-fests if your feed is full of everything they retweet. Just go to their profile, hit the three dots, and then click "Turn off retweets".
Ah good call, I didn't know that.
PC user don't pay 4k for a computer, on PC you can get 2x the speed for 2x less the price.
Stick two bigger GPUs in it to drive multiple 4k screens.

But yes no ECC. Linux arm64 works on my M1 Pro in UTM using native virtualisation. And it’s fast as anything.
Literally the article stats out with:

President Volodymyr Zelensky said he is no longer pressing for Nato membership for Ukraine, a delicate issue that was one of Russia's stated reasons for invading its pro-Western neighbour.
Yes, as all NUMA machines do, one CPU can access all memory, both local (to the CPU) and global (through the interconnect). The problem is that there is a significant latency cost when a CPU accesses non-local memory (limitations of the interconnect). So the HPC people writing their algorithms make sure that this happens at a minimal amount, by enforcing that the data each CPU is using is allocated locally as possible (ex. by using special affinity controls provided by libnuma)

I was just curious if these kinds of optimizations are possible in the M1 Ultra.
Agreed.

They showed it being used for pro audio, but that's a niche that still uses expansion cards a lot. Keeping the current mac pro form factor enables a lot of niche use cases.

One question is whether the M1 chips have enough connectivity to efficiently handle as many expansion cards as the current pro. Even the Max version of the CPU is limited to 4 thunderbolt ports.
I was actually reading some analysis from a military strategist who was quite critical of the foreign fighters. Essentially his arguments were that they are much more driven by idiology (and different ones) and thus less easy to follow orders and be controlled, which could lead to unwanted escalation.

Not sure what to make of it, but people are definitely thinking about this.
I don't see how this can work at a fundamental level.

You're telling me that to remove my info I have to essentially give (through your service) all these companies & data brokers my info so they can opt me out, and actually trust them that they'll do so? If anything, opting out is a signal that you may actually be of more interest to them than not doing anything. If these companies can also infer that the request is coming from your service (and they will, unless you use random proxies and browser automation), the flag becomes "this person has enough disposable money to pay for such a service" which suddenly increases the value of your profile by orders of magnitude.

How are you going to make money to justify the VC funding? VCs rarely fund boring, sustainable businesses that sell a service and make a slim profit; for them it's all about hypergrowth, but I don't see the potential here - unless of course you start doing the very thing you're currently protecting against. The simple fact that it's VC-funded tells me to steer well clear.

The only proper way to deal with this is with GDPR-like regulation and actually enforcing it - the latter has been lacking in Europe, but thankfully seems like it's somewhat picked up recently.
I hate that this is hurting regular Russians. But I don't have an alternative suggestion which hits only the oligarchs [1], and I understand the cruel logic of making regular Russians so unhappy they overthrow that shitshow they have in place of a government.

[1] Actually I do, cut all russian gas and oil imports right now, no matter how painful, and apply sanctions to anyone who continues trading russian gas and oil, no matter if friend or foe, big or small. Soften the financial blow to the lower and middle class with some progressive tax, offer large incentives to build wind, solar, EV chargers, heat pumps, better thermal insulation of homes, etc. I'm oversimplifying, and sharper minds would be needed to improve the basic idea and close exploitable loopholes, but it would be doable if we really, really wanted. The killing of innocent Ukrainians must be stopped.
There is no chicken and egg. Apple has tens of billions of dollars. If they wanted to support games it could be done really quickly. They straight up are anti-gaming unless it is of the exploitative micro-transaction mobile kind where they can reap that store tax.
Highly online life leads to instability. It's like living your life in a packed subway car. Stress response. This is why cities are less healthy for you as well.
'First they came for RT, and I did not speak out because I was not an RT viewer' seems apt here.

Fwiw I've long been surprised it's allowed (for years I mean, unrelated to any current affairs) but I think this thread is an interesting point.
A lot of professionals use external drives for their work, and Apple has the right of charging beyond market value per TB of storage because the space is integrated, so you'll find that most people will purchase on-the-curve storage and rely on high-performance commodity drives for day-to-day artifacts and asset work.
Those are desktops, and Thunderbolt/USB 4 allows for fast SSDs. You can have the OS installed on an external drive too.

It's much less of an issue there than on laptops.
> As of June 3, 2021, there is no native support for Vulkan API provided by Apple devices.

> Apple deprecated OpenGL in iOS 12 and macOS 10.14 Mojave in favor of Metal, but it is still available as of macOS 11 Big Sur (including Apple silicon devices). The latest version supported for OpenGL is 4.1 from 2011.

OSX accounts for 2.62% of Steam users.

Implementing another graphics backend is prohibitively expensive for small studios whereas you could implement either OpenGL or Vulkan and get the other 97.38%.
And that's without factoring in the required investment in single-use hardware, people, and skills.

DirectX is another safe choice but I try to stay away from anything proprietary or Microsoft-related.
The simple answer is that oil isn't fully fungible. Sweet vs sour crude, different grades, serve different needs. Different extraction methods are also viable at different price levels, many domestic sources only become profitable at higher levels. (Like the levels we're seeing now. Which are stratospheric.)

A good contrarian argument for energy independence is it'll impose a higher floor cost on oil prices, making renewable projects more viable. It would also make expensive one-time upgrades that enhance energy efficiency look better on paper when compared against opportunity costs.
It's not, because in a standard B-tree all the leaf nodes are at exactly the same depth, whereas in a binary tree they are not in general, unless the binary tree is balanced with exactly 2N leaves.

This difference occurs because a B-tree can have interior nodes that aren't completely full, whereas a binary tree's interior nodes have exactly 2 children.
I wish they wouldn't make me scroll through two pages of animated backgrounds just to see the actual monitor. That said if I would spend this much on a monitor I would prefer the Samsung Odyssey Neo, which has a 5K resolution on a curved 49' display with a 240 Hz refresh rate, HDR 2.000 and G-Sync/Freesync. I guess the color space coverage is not as good though, and it's not as bright at 420 nits, though that's more than bright enough for me.
Jony Ive leaving was a massive improvement for Apple.
Counter-advice: never suffer in silence. Don't keep quiet when there's help available.
I simply forgot that they made it. I forgot a lot of stuff in 2020 and 2021, like most people.

But by extension I certainly don't remember it being "super well received", or I'd probably have remembered it at all.

Either way: look at it. It's a tower PC. Do you think the current Apple trajectory has any meaningful room for that? What are people going to really be putting in it except disks?
Some proprietary software authors would likely feel the same way about free software. For example, Phil Katz drank himself to death after zlib used his invention to create the most prolific library in the world. I'd also imagine all the jobs software is eating would feel the same way. Now software is eating itself.
I am one of those. For a simple reason: It had no effect.

As a sidenote back in the days I worked for a university and we did research in public policy making. How social media would make a difference as it empowers the underprivileged. In my opinion almost none of that came true. Those which make an effect are the ones in power. The rest is cats video and advertisement disguised as influencers.
"backpressure" quite literally refers to a queue blocking when full. Exerting backpressure on a system is absolutely something a queue does. Backing off or "loadshedding" is something the producer does in response to backpressure from a queue.
Any working cross-platform rippers that you know of?
Don't forget that any of the M1-family chips are absolutely crushing the competition in single-core performance.
> 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.

People that game on Mac know it's a lie, GPU for gaming on mac is vastly slower than recent graphic cards.
This seems like a win-win for them. Support the enemy of their enemy and get rid of hardware they can't really maintain any longer. Russia isn't going to be maintaining those fighter jets now that it knows all of Europe considers it a hostile power.

They need to buy fighters not dependent on Russia and the US is a logical place to turn to. The F-16 is likely to be well within their budget today, since they plan to purchase F-35s in the future anyways.
Here's the commit removing himself from the alumni list. https://github.com/rails/website/pull/27
Baseball would be such a different sport if there were say 40 games per season instead of 160. You would need far fewer pitchers too if there were only 2 games per week.
Insane claims requires insane evidence. We don't have that there.

For some workloads i would not be surprised at all. But for all workloads, ...
I have been purposely avoiding that situation to save money :)
That seems pretty typical for Apple. Upgrading from 512gb to 1tb on a MacBook Air is $200.
M1 Plaid
I think they will unveil M2 which can probably at least double the 64GB max to 128GB max RAM of M1-series.

Then, on the highest configuration, I think they actually can put 6 M2-top-specced or more into the Mac Pro.
What do you consider funny about it?

I suppose it is the difference between officially being at war and not. If some country sends fighters to support your enemy, you may start asking if you are at war with that other country, after all?

So would you say it would be funny if Canada was officially at war with Russia now?

Unless Russia gives up, WWIII seems to already have started, as most countries have joined in one way or another. I guess the only hope is that Russia will decide that the cost is too high.
downdetector just uses search trends from google and twitter and other social apps, its definitely not checking if the site is 'down' on its own.
> then waste their revenue on SV dev salaries

wouldnt really call that a waste if those devs are producing meaningful features and/or fixing bugs.

devs work on the features they are told to, they don't direct what features get put in place or even how those features should behave in UX, most of the time.

seems more a design and/or project management failure, to me.
Does the mac studio potentially replace the mac pro concept? It seems targeted at exactly the audience that mac pros targeted (ridiculous amounts of video simul-editing)
You missed M1 Plaid.
I've never heard of an accusation of planned obsolescence based on price before.

> A customer with 1TB will likely want to upgrade sooner

Though I have no data to back it up, I think this is your mistaken assumption. I think it's much more likely that people upgrade because of CPU/RAM than disk space.
This 5k 27" screens blows your 8k 65" screen out if the water at any reasonable viewing distance for a computer monitor...

Nearly no one wants TVs for monitors, the evidence is LG's OLEDs which gamers will take 1440p ultrawides with infinitely worse picture quality over, just for the more reasonable form factor.
> but World of Warcraft is an example.

Blizzard games are or were probably the outlier. They supported Macs even back in the PowerPC days. As a kid with a PowerBook G4 Blizzard games were the only good games I was able to play (Warcraft 3, WoW, Diablo). I have no idea if this is still the case for their newer games though.
I think this company itself is legit, at least for now, but the risk is that they'll forward this info to 200+ data brokers to "opt-out" - would you really trust them to actually opt you out, as opposed to opt you in (if you weren't already in there) and silently set a flag saying this person is of even more interest? If they can tell that the opt-out request comes from such a service, this increases the value of your profile even more as it's a signal that you might have enough disposable income to pay for such a service.
I understand Russian. Looking at ria.ru over the past few days there is barely any mention of the war, certainly no details, there's much more mention of sanctions but only some weird stories about their origin and motivation.
I would imagine:

- it's easy for them to make

- some of their customers need them

- prevents people switching to windows for high-even pro machines, which would influence their other computer purchases
ha! are you me?

Had the benefit to purchase my self a beasty computer right before Cyberpunk launched.

I don't know how many times I just stopped what I was doing and just look at something shiny/bright.

Last time I felt this way must have been back with HL2
No webcam or microphone in the LG displays. Well the 4k at least. I assume the 5k is the same. It does have speakers. They're ok for the price point but not notable. It's also basically unsupported as far as software is concerned. You can't connect an iPad to it for example. Or at least I can't anymore. Sound would play but not screen mirroring.
This is unworkable if you are actively scaling your system. Am i supposed to calculate ideal queue size with each scale out of my data platform?

Instead, the right way to think about limiting queue size is load shedding when you feel back pressure.

Here’s an example at Cronitor: if our main sqs ingestion queue backs up, our pipeline will automatically move from streaming to micro-batching, drastically reducing the number of messages on the queue at the expense of slightly increased latency per message. At the same time, a less critical piece of our infrastructure pauses itself until the queue is healthy again, shedding one of the largest sources of db load and giving that capacity to ingestion.

To me the goal is to feel and respond to back pressure before blowing up and rejecting messages.
A law that singles out a person or group of people is called a bill of attainder, and violates the constitution. So instead, the legislature will write some criteria that they claim is generic but in fact know only applies to a single institution/company.

I'm in a rural area 1.5 hour north of NYC - I use GeForce Now and Stadia with 6ms latency. It's available to more than just the big cities.
Poland has 23 flyable MiG-29s, some of which are trainer aircraft. Other EU operators of the MiG-29 are Bulgaria and Slovakia, who have another 15-20 combined.

For comparison, at the start of the conflict Ukraine had about 70 fighters and Russia about 900.

wow, 600 nits -- that's bright. If you have a mac book pro you already have a screen that does 500 nits which easily lets you see the screen in the sun. If you're inside without glare you can get away with just 250 nits. For smart phones -- the nits are typically much higher because people use them in the sun and need good visibility outside.

A 600 nit screen inside would almost be too bright for some people. I know people who already turn down their laptops because 500 is too bright. but i think its good to have the option to turn it down rather than a screen that's too dim.

Why did this submission get flagged? I thought OP posted a perfectly acceptable submission.
At the moment the PC market is upside down, too. If you're building a professional workstation, you'll find with current prices that a business XPS desktop is cheaper by a significant margin over building your own workstation with the highest end parts available today.
I -someone who has never touched or used Linux before last year- switched to Ubuntu on one of System76's computers late last year because of this mess plus Apple's naked surveillance on their devices.

No more playing around with corporations getting greedy over data and subscription control. I'm done there. My machines now, my rules.
I have a 10-core CPU with a performance advantage of 23% over an M1 Max in Cinebench R23 (AMD 5800x) and a 1,280 CUDA core GPU (GTX 1060 6GB) that cost a little over $1,000 US total.

UPDATE - Sorry, I originally listed this as a 5900x by accident. I need more sleep.
Toilet paper monitors. Can't be serious with that. Here's a good one: https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-ultrasharp-40-curv...
M1 Double Plus Good
I have the LG ultra fine 5k and it's a very good monitor. It has a small defect: occasionally there is a small flickering on the central vertical line. It goes away if you put the screen to sleep and wake it again (it takes a few seconds, and I had to do it a handful of times in a year)
