Worth checking out OpenMW if you've never seen it. Fully open source re-implementation of the Morrowind engine with creation kit for making full games and other non-Morrowind content. They've put a lot of emphasis on supporting all of the old code and scripts plus converting content over to new formats.

Their performance has been abysmal. Russia (who claims that this is not even a war) is not inclined to post losses. It's had some 'wins', but many of those were short-lived and were recaptured. Even less incentive to post it. Which is understandable since it was supposed to be quick and done in a few days.

Ukraine - being the underdog and the invaded country - has every incentive to publish every single tank they destroy. It isn't surprising, really.

There has been coverage on the South, where Russia has had more successes.

I have a dishwasher that I never use. Here's why: it's just me and my girlfriend. I usually use two pans (or one pot and one pan) when I cook dinner. They're stainless steel, and need hand washed. The dishwasher will not get everything off. Plus, I don't have an army of saute pans (and spatula's, etc) to use while I load up the dishwasher until it's full.

So, I wash the pans, along with our plates and forks/knives by hand. We used to load up the dishwasher, but after a while it seemed so pointless to put the plates and utensils in there if I'm already washing pans. Just take another 2 minutes to wash them.

If the dishwasher could clean my pans as well as I could, I'd reconsider. Also, if I had a big family, I'm sure I'd just do both.
We are cutting more and more trees, despite their well-established effectiveness at absorbing CO2[1]. What can we even do? We are pushing in the right direction for EVs - albeit 10 years too late in my opinion, but we are hurting the planets in many more ways.

We are polluting oceans, space, and now that we realize how big of a problem it is I begin to wonder why they even allowed it in the first place.

eBay did me a whole different dirty:

I went to sell a few things 2mo ago. Sold them. And when the buyers paid, it went to an ebay escrow.

Only after I sold them, and money was sent, ebay DEMANDED unfettered access to my checking/savings account. They would not cut a check, pay to paypal, or any other method. One of their managers said the only way I could get my money was to wait 1-3 years and would send the money to federal unclaimed money (!).

Obviously, I never sent them. I could never get the money. I messaged to all the buyers that I could not fulfill any sales BECAUSE ebay refused to send me my money in an appropriate manner.

All the sales fell through... And then ebay tried to lay on me $50 in "sold fees". Talk about a double-whammy. I get if I got paid, that they get their cut. But this whole checking acct demand wasnt listed anywhere UNTIL the sales closed.

After this, I'm done with the ever-closing noose around buyers and sellers in the ebay ecosystem. I'm not going to get screwed. And after talking with others who do buying/selling, everyone's getting squeezed. Enough of that for me.

They have been off-and-on. They had a few notable price cuts back in the twenty-teens that made them damned competitive. At times they've been a rip-off but most of the "LOL look how expensive Apple is" stuff achieves such large gaps by comparing them to significantly worse hardware and calling it "equivalent". Plus theirs is the only consumer phone and computer hardware with a healthy used market, so you don't take as big a hit on recoverable value as soon as you "drive it off the lot".

US invading Iraq (OIF) is probably a better comparison; that took about a month. And that had openly sympathetic forces, the Kurds and some Shias, willing to tap out quickly. Plus previous wars (Gulf War I) had shown US airpower was absolutely dominant and had fried much of Iraq's hardware on the "highway of Death".

I'm not in favor of Russia but it's clear they're running into much harder resistance than expected, and are really just warming up.

The Russians had to fight two brutal wars in Chechnya, lot of false starts and screw ups... but ~30 years later the Chechens sent 10000 men to fight in Ukraine for the Russians...
From the article:

> Apple even says its new GPU is a match for Nvidia's RTX 3080 mobile chip, though you'll have to take Apple's word for it on that one. We've also reached out to Nvidia to see what it might have to say on the matter.

> RTX 3080 mobile chip

> mobile chip

There's a 50%[1] (!) difference with mobile and non-mobile versions of the chip. So that's hardly a deal breaker.

Unfortunately, the height (3.7") is just above a 2U (3.5") rack. It's also not a multiple of a Mac Mini height (1.4") which means you'll have some leftover space if you're replacing 3 Minis with one of these.
No this looks like a modular replacement of the iMac Pro. If it was to replace the Mac Pro they wouldn't have said at the end of the event "the Mac Pro will have to wait until next time".

That's an unreasonable standard. If I chose to see your use of the phrase 'clover got you' as some slur against Irish people and was offended, would you have offended me?

This is an unfair question, not because it's not a reasonable one given your argument, but because if you say 'yes' I can't take you seriously.

Of course, that's not really the issue. The issue is what the response is when people are offended. I can certainly modify my language and behavior to reduce the chances of offending someone. I can even apologize when I've accidentally put my foot in my mouth.

Twitter lacks the tolerance and nuance for either of those scenarios, though. If something 'not ok' is said, what was intended or meant doesn't matter (and any nuanced is typically ignored). An apology isn't seen as an apology for a mistake, but as an admission of guilt of being a terrible person who doesn't deserve oxygen.
CIA Director – Putin 'Angry and Frustrated,' likely to 'double-down'
To me, this seems to have killed the iMac Pro not the Mac Pro.
This is almost exclusively the fault of media trying to engage viewers through culture war.

These people [one random, average person passionate about something they know little about] are saying these things[taken out of context by reporter or site] about you[random attribute you will identify with].

Media demographics are killing harmony. These people feed our brains. They are our eyes beyond what our real eyes can see. Which is not very far. That's how people come to hate people they've never met. Or how wars are started.

How much would a monitor with comparable pixel density and resolution have cost in 2014? Asking because I truly do not know.

The high-end camera, array of microphones, and speakers are worth at least a couple hundred bucks — especially for remote workers.

The connectivity is also pretty nice, and didn't exist back then.

I don't know how the overall value stacks up, but I was pleasantly surprised the price was this low. I was expecting $2,000 to $2500 after hearing the specs. I'm still not buying one, but I am about to email my wife to ask her company if they can cancel the order they just put in for a $900 not-very-impressive monitor and get her one of these instead.

Kills the need for a dock, kills the need for a separate power brick at the office, and makes videoconferencing much better (I don't think she'd thought about how she would do a video call if her camera is on her laptop and her big monitor is off to the side).
This is likely a mini-LED screen that Apple has been putting into the iPad Pro and MBPs, which is not a technology LG possesses. This is likely manufactured in Taiwan or China or Germany, using the licensed technology from Taiwan's Epistar.
... if you can live with machines that just come with the bare minimum RAM and SSD. If you get the Macs with the same amount of storage that the PCs come with, the $900 laptop quickly becomes a $2000 laptop.

I wish I could get back all the time I've wasted helping relatives deal with their Photos libraries and backups just because they got the entry level machine with skimpy storage...
There are various licensing models for open source. I'd consider piracy to be violating any of them.
>I wonder if they'll just do 4x M1 Max for that.

They'll be running out of names for that thing. M1 Ultra II would be lame, so M1 Extreme? M1 Steve?
A few points to make...

- the shared CPU+GPU RAM doesn't necessarily mean the GPU has to eat up system RAM when in use, because it can share addressing. So whereas the current Mac pro would require two copies of data (CPU+GPU) the new Mac studio can have one. Theoretically.

- they do have very significant video decoder blocks. That means that you may use less RAM than without since you can keep frames compressed in flight
>Once you consider compression then RISC-V is on average slightly denser than x86.

A note for those not following: RISC-V as in RV64GC. x86 as in 32bit x86.

64bit x86 aka x86-64 aka amd64 is dramatically worse in code density.
> Can someone explain to me why unlocking with FaceID requires you to swipe up? Pressing the power button and having my face visible seems like a good signal to let me start interacting with icons.

I often want to look at the lock screen, perhaps to tell the time or to read / interact with a notification, or to swipe from the left to interact with the widgets.

Quite a lot of my phone usage is like this: recency based (driven by notifications) and/or not wanting to open the phone and then search for the app I want, launch it, get to the right screen and blah blah. Much lower overhead to get the job done.

I don't tend to open my phone and doom scroll when I have a moment. I understand that's the major use case for most people, and for them perhaps your model would be appropriate.
Not so easy. Poland's Mig29's have been integrated into NATO standards, electronic plugs, hardpoints, control etc. They will have tp be rolled back to Russian missiles and hardpoints with electronics. Then do they have enough Russian missiles - Russia will not ship them.
If they also gets lots of NATO missiles, they can operate in Ukraine as long as missiles are supplied. The planes must be painted, easy enough, or they will be NATO planes with NATO missiles attacking Russia = a flash point.

Don't a lot of people want a computer in the 1000-2000$ range? The average person who wants to do video editing on an M1 mac just wants >=32GB of RAM. The only way to get that is to shell out $2000+.

M1 Mac Mini with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD for $1100

M1 Max Mac Studio with 32GB RM and 512GB SSD for $2000

Yeah because nobody ever buys a computer that costs between $1000 and $2000... ?

A 512GB SSD in a $2k computer? People who deal with HD video are going to want at least 1TB right? So it basically starts at $2200?

Is Apple going to release anything anytime soon for the young/not-rich kids who want to do real video editing (need >=32GB RAM)?

> Government sanctions are applied by a democratically-elected government, which has a variety of checks and balances in it. I agree that social pressure can go off the rails. In this particular case my gut is that social pressure is encouraging them to go along with the sanctions quickly and enthusiastically.

Is Red Hat responding to sanctions? I don't think so:

> (from the link) While relevant sanctions must guide many of our actions, we’ve taken additional measures as a company. Effective immediately, Red Hat is discontinuing sales and services in Russia and Belarus (for both organizations located in or headquartered in Russia or Belarus). This includes discontinuing partner relationships with organizations based in or headquartered in Russia or Belarus.

What we're seeing is the social outrage machine taking its turn at geopolitics. We'll see how that goes but I am not optimistic.

I don't think any of this helps Ukraine but I'm more worried about the precedent it sets.
I am not sure I follow. Are you saying that a 90% chance of not needing an umbrella is the same as a 26% chance?

These are vastly different probabilities which mean that you might be wrong 9 out 10 days, or right 3 out of 4 times.

As another example: I bet most companies would die to turn up conversion rates up even 1 or 2 percent.

When dealing in risk management where probabilities should start in 1 in 10 or 1 in 100, then I could agree that 90% risk of failure isn't to different from 26%.

This went by so fast I'm not sure I heard it right, but I believe the announcer for the Ultra said it the last in the M1 lineup.

They just can't ship a Mac Pro without expansion in the normal sense, my guess is that the M2 will combine the unified memory architecture with expansion busses.

Which sounds gnarly, and I don't blame them for punting on that for the first generation of M class processors.

I have plenty of CDs that are nearly three decades old and still play great. The point is that the onus is on me to maintain my collection and my listening equipment. Well-kept media and well-maintained gear shouldn't break, and if it does then at least the fix is dependent on me.

I don't want to rely on a corporation's uptime and solvency to listen to music.
Probably object tracking in videos will be the best use of them.

Or, there will be some new form of video generation (like the ones generating video from Deep Dream etc, but something aimed at studio production) using ML that wasn't practically usable before.

It opens many doors, but it will take at least many months, if not years, to see some new "kind" of software to emerge that efficiently makes use of them.

Giving Apple more power by making software for their products for free that Apple wants a large cut from doesn't sound like a good idea.

Make games for Linux, and let Apple figure out a compatability layer to make it work on their products. That's the way it should be.
"Options" are a popular marketing scheme to have your customers with deep pockets subsidize a lower starting price at the bottom end while keeping the same overall margin. Doesn't matter if you're Works the same way whether you're buying a Mac, buying SaaS software, or buying a car.

Apple does use very good quality SSDs, so I would expect them to be premium priced regardless.
The 5k has a webcam and mic. The webcam is much higher quality than my MBP's too.
I hope it has better Windows support than the Pro Display XDR (it won't).

I managed to get the XDR hooked up to Windows at 6K (with a very unusual cable) but you can't adjust it below max brightness so you get a sustained 1000 nits in your face at all times. Also HDR doesn't work. But gaming at 6K is cool af!

Also, this having speakers, camera, and mic is a big step up over the XDR (unfortunately for me).
OK but to what end?

Looking at the Mac Studio... what would an M1-based, drop-in Mac Pro replacement offer on top? That sounds like a tail-end product.

It's not like 2022 Apple is the kind of business that announces deep partnerships with graphics card makers.

It feels more to me like we're going to see either something that is half-rack-half-Mac, or something with major developments in neural engine hardware, or something.

A new segment -- something that is going to need significant new OS work.
> $8k for 128GB RAM, 8 TB solid state storage

Maybe not, but 32GB RAM + 512GB SSD for $2k is a pretty competitive price point.
If all you want is disks then the Mac Studio seems to be exactly what you'd want. I would assume people that want a tower want exactly what you were asking for above, which is GPUs or other cards like audio engineers need.

I didn't see a single negative review of the tower at all, so I'm really not sure where that comes from. And they said during the keynote today a new one is coming.
I really doubt that. While I am aware of shrinking IQ, as far as I know its a thing of the last 30 years, leaded gas in most developed countries was already outlawed.
I believe OP meant Mac, not M1 - I.e. that there are many multitudes of AAA games that still have not hit macOS.

You’re right, though, that M1 has pretty decent parity with Intel Macs for games now.
Because my access to it shouldn't depend on a third party's uptime. The fact that it's "a couple of hours once a year" doesn't make it any better.

We've been conditioned to just accepting that random outages and corporate decisions can take things away from us, but it is a ridiculous proposition that only benefits the bottom line of the service providers. I understand that the "convenience" angle might be attractive to some, but personally I don't think it's worth the trade-offs.

And this is not just about music, or movies. It applies to all forms of data that we have collectively agreed can just live in the cloud, because the cloud will always be there and we don't have to think about it. Until one morning you find that the cloud is unavailable, and so is all your data.

Physical media is inconvenient in a lot of ways, but to me is still an infinitely better proposition than trusting a bunch of random companies to provide me with access to digital media.
Apple does them FAR better than anyone else. I can’t remember if they did it first, or just popularized it, but it works well for what it is.

That said, while it looks cool, after the first time you’ve used it it’s just a pain to navigate. I kind of wish it was a separate “intro” page or something.

>As an aside, Michelle Obama's campaign when Obama was in office was about improvement children's health. Her focus was going to be on nutrition (lunch food). Shortly thereafter Coke and Pepsi came in with "donations" and the whole thing became about exercise, no focus on nutrition.

That's why hard disks are still made and sold: they're an inexpensive way to achieve high capacity. I wouldn't expect seek latency to be problematic for video editing, and if it is, using the SSD as cache would likely be sufficient.
maybe i'm just old and blind but i can BARELY even notice the difference between 1440p and 4k if i very explicitly and intentionally look for it let alone the difference between 5k and 8k. this seems like so beyond unnecessary that it's absurd. i might be able to be convinced that you could notice on your 8k 65 inch tv if you were standing right in front of it, but on a 27 inch display that seems incredibly unlikely to me. also what world do we live in where a resolution that is literally above 4k isn't considered high resolution.
It's Apple's refusal to support Vulkan that is it's biggest detriment to the gaming industry.

>The number of candidates filtered out by the "take home" exercise is very high. 85+%

For a 90 minute take home exercise that I have to complete before I am allowed to speak to a human being, that is on average about 10 hours of work your company is expecting me to do, for free. And then I have to do a coding assignment afterwords anyways.

I will say that the fact that you post the salary range is good. This is the sort of time investment that would only be worth it for a top end salary.
