It's frustrating how tough it is to stick to topics you're interested in seeing on Twitter. Even after trying to actively disengage with a lot of the news-based stuff on the site to stop myself from doomscrolling, I still get shown a ton of news and politics on my feed because some of my friends on Twitter like and retweet that kind of stuff.

I think it's also kind of strange how much variance there is in the content on the site. Something about the fact that stupid jokes take up the same space and appear in the same way as very serious news feels harmful to me.
Genshin as well.
Doesn't WebGPU require a DX12-level GPU? If so, that would make your browser incompatible with a ton of systems out there.
Obama was Commander in Chief and had authority to instruct military and replace members of Joint Chiefs of Staff until it got done. Obama kept the military conflicts rolling.
This is a very inaccurate summary of what happened. And I say this as someone who does not particularly like WGSL. Mozilla, Google and Apple are all working to help design WGSL.
I had one ten years ago when I was a teenager. I wonder if I'm part of that "sometimes tweets" category.

It's more than just the environment. The more engineers & scientists you have, the faster you can build it. The more people you're willing to crush beneath your wheels, the faster you can build it.
I don't think the Docker VM is going to phase that crazy machine.
From the study:

>examined risk factors; survey years; binary gender; bodyweight; low birthweight; anemia; health insurance coverage; Medicaid/CHIP enrollment; federal Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) supplemental food program enrollment; use of water treatment devices; b age in months; c educational attainment less than 9th grade education; d housing built before 1960 or 1940; e number of cigarettes smoked inside the home per day (1 to 40 or more); f poverty-to-income ratios

I don't see traffic proximity aka urbanicity aka leaded gasoline particulate pollution in there.

Lead plumbing and lead paint are two factors. But there is lead all through the soil and air as well.
The problem is there are ill-behaved feeds, which need ill-behaved crawlers to work right. I mean, not all of the ill-behavior she mentions is caused by ill-behaved feeds, but that does include scraping individual posts. That's actually my biggest problem with feeds, is them deciding not just to not include the full post, but to not include any of the post. So all I really get is that they have a new thing.
Given that it's basically double the performance of the Max, with massive memory bandwidth, seems reasonable to me. But Apple always fudges things a bit. Like, which Nvidia exactly is this being compared to, and under what workload exactly?
As this was building up, I was thinking that the real goal was to get the SWIFT banking sanctions applied and force switching away from US-led financial system. In which case, the world isolating Russia from everyone but their friends serves that purpose, because China is one very influential such friend.
> I really hope apple gets the "Mac Pro" form factor right this time.

Tbh, they did mention at the end that their Apple Silicon Mac Pro is coming later down the line, which I'm guessing will focus more on upgradability and modularity
Mac pointing devices have step-less and inertial scrolling, so the scrolling itself is effortless, but the framerate of the "video" is too low, so it's either not fluid enough unless you scroll like crazy.
Yeah. I'm wondering about network cards for some higher throughput setups.
At the very least is a workable hypothesis. To be active on Twitter one needs the right personality, which means being very upset when other people reply/engage or being indifferent and playing one of the games adults are playing. In the first case, the person is not able to avoid engaging. In the second case, they engage because they have the usual "motives".

Twitter is a very dangerous social media. I consider myself a wordly and experienced person, but I admit I tend to over-value what is shared on Twitter (momentarily, because I look back occasionally at bookmarks and I have very little or no memories of those tweets or I cannot understand why I bookmarked them).
I over-value (and not properly value) because I have no clue who is the person who's tweeting (case 1, why should I listen to them? Who are they? Would the same observation "hold" is a face to face conversation?) or I know them/they are public figures (case 2), and they are playing a game of popularity or relevance in which I am, as part of the audience, the sucker.

Just to make an example, the other day someone wrote that "the US should ramp up oil production now". I read it and I told myself "Ok". A reply-guy replied "what are you talking about, this is not like software, when you can "easily" scale up the number of servers". And I thought, man, I was really not thinking, my first reaction when reading a twitter should be "this is bs, who is this person, where is the competence coming from, what it the game they are playing now", but it was not my first reaction, which was instead of passive acceptance.
Dangerous game.
Different priorities. People buying these are looking for good specs in color reproduction, contrast (as far as is possible without FALD backlighting), and perhaps most importantly consistent QC.

If you look at reviews for just about any model of monitor released in the past 5-6 years QC has been atrocious, with dead pixels, backlight bleed, and other odd issues being commonplace, making it a challenge to get a unit that's good all around. This has been especially true for the display that this is most directly replacing (LG Ultrafine 5k).
Not us.
It'd be cool to see some gaming-oriented benchmarks of the M1 Ultra with Parallels.
Your comment implies that surely any cancellation of someone for their views must be justifiable.

That's an insane premise, but even if we presume it to be true, it still doesn't cover the case of _future_ cancellation when someone finds your tweets 10 years later and decides they aged like milk.

There are many comments I would have made 5-10 years ago, that I wouldn't make today. Sure, that's mostly due to maturity, but I've also adjusted my self-filter to account for a changing environment and audience.

At this point, I write all political comments under pseudonyms. It's not because I'm scared of getting cancelled — on the contrary, I wish I could argue my positions from my real name. But there is a lot of risk, for little benefit – I'm not a "journalist" or blogger or anyone with a career that depends on my political viewpoints. So why bother?

In general, online political comments gain me nothing, and there is no way to predict how those comments might look in a week, month, or even years from now. I do still write plenty of them, under pseudonyms (like this one), but it's more of a hobby to practice my writing. But I'm also not ashamed of anything I've written under any of the accounts – I would gladly defend all my opinions in person (to those close to me, who already know my feelings, and – btw, because they're sane – have never "cancelled" me).

Who knows, maybe one day I'll even tweet my pseudonym usernames so I can show everyone how right I was five years ago.
They released a new Mac Pro in 2019. I think there is a strong possibility for a revision late this year or next year.
Technically, I think this is illegal (Microsoft doesn't have a license for ARM support that isn't Qualcomm based). So for the pirating community this might not be an issue, but for long term survivability of the industry that would need to change.
What Im hoping for is with fiber/5G things like GeforceNow become more popular. I used it recently thanks to 6 free months from ATT when I had an unscheduled layover due to a missed flight, and it was actually playable with 7 Days to Die (a FPS). Granted it wasn't as good as my home machine, but this was also over hotel wifi so not bad

The latest generation is from 2019?
When you get “canceled”, it doesn’t matter who you’ve personally “evicted” or not. If people with power over you either agree with the absolutists or are afraid of offending them, you’re going to have a bad time.
Totally agree, being attacked for your viewpoint used to be just a problem for minority viewpoints/identities. But now even those who were previously safe are seeing increasing risk in backlashes.

We have gone from silencing the minority to silencing the majority, this is terrible, but silver lining is that now maybe more people are invested in solving the problem.
Mac Pro scale up?

How is this going to scale up to a Mac Pro, especially related to RAM?

The Ultra caps at 128 GB of RAM (which isn't much for video editing, especially given that the GPU uses the system RAM). Today's Mac Pro goes up to 1.5TB (and has dedicated video RAM above this).

If the Mac Pro is say, 4 Ultra's stacked together - that means the new Mac Pro will be capped at 512GB of RAM.

Would Apple stack 12 Ultra's together to get to 1.5TB of RAM? Seems unlikely.
There's a good reason for this: Thunderbolt 4 doesn't have enough port bandwidth. TB4 can carry a max of 30Gbps but 5K @ 120hz is 32Gbps. There's no way Apple would do two cables for this, and the next gen of Thunderbolt is a while off, so the choice makes sense.
That's a great update, thanks for posting :)
One of my pet theories for why social media is such a cesspool is that it exposes us to the whole of someone else.

If I play boardgames with Sue, that's enough. We meet, enjoy a beer and play some Catan and go our separate ways. That's a fine relationship.

If I follow Sue on social media, now I know her politics, religion, sex life, drug usage, opinions on every little thing.. and frankly, I don't care or want to. I'm happy just playing some Catan once in a while.

Historically you didn't need to know everything about everyone. Your friends will always have opinions or lifestyles you will find disagreeable - that is the nature of human existence.

Humanity either needs to "agree to disagree" on wide swaths of things we care a whole bunch about (abortion, firearms, lgbtq, etc) or we need to go back to not discussing those things in public or polite company.

My $0.02 is that it's easier to fall back to rules of polite conversation than fix our compulsive need for agreement.
Where have you been for the last two years? If it was just a matter of margins we wouldn't have world wide shortages of components, production lines shutting down, etc.

Even with massive multibilion investments in fabs all over the place it's going to take years to bring up fab capacity - in the ideal case. And that's just for one component.

Apple doesn't even do manufacturing anyway - they outsource every step of the way. What US alternatives are there to Samsung displays or Foxconn assembly ?

Apple is too high up the chain to bring about this kind of change, best you could probably do is US assembly if you imposed India like tariffs. Not sure how the US consumers would feel about their iPhone jumping in price by 30%.
I got my twitter account MyfirstnameMylastname somewhere early in the site's existence, probably around 2009. But never really got the appeal of Twitter so I never used it for anything, I'd check it once every six months or so.

I eventually learned I share a name with a tech journalist who is very active on Twitter, and occasionally I would get tagged instead instead of him. Every time, I would respond with the Navy Seal Copypasta, broken into eight twitter sized parts. Eventually they banned me for this.

And thus ended my Twitter adventure for good.
Could/would this machine makes sense as a development machine? I use a Macbook Pro (M1) and it's always docked...I basically don't need it to be transportable. I could also use more power (I'm regularly running a bunch of docker containers + PyCharm + DataGrip + Android Studio).
Wait, how and why did Apple suddenly become cost-effective?

Curious what this means?
I disagree completely. My main monitor is at 144hz, and it's very jarring to switch to my (slightly older) MBP running at 60hz. Not having high refresh rate means this new monitor won't ever be on my short list.
Why would they loop? Creating white noise is one line of bash.
Most sanctions that could be imposed have not been imposed yet. The indirect effects of current banking sanctions have made it almost impossible to do business with Russia though.

I have many Russian customers, but neither my Chinese nor UAE banks will accept any transfers from Russia (not to even mention western banks). My business is not directly affected by sanctions, the banks just don’t have sufficient risk appetite to touch Russian money.

Best offer I’ve seen was from a partner which offered to take Russian transfers to a Kyrgyzstani bank account and send me USDT.

Perhaps such sanctions would be unnecessary? Perhaps they’re just on the way.
This seems like a riff on Proverbs: "Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues."
So if I understand correctly, the legislature can pass a law that explicitly says "we are banning RT" instead of saying something along the lines "We are banning any media that dissiminates war propaganda"? Is there anything in the constitution that forbids legislating against particular groups, persons or institutions? It's a genuine question, I don't really know.

Regarding the judiciary deciding these kind of things. They already decide about many things that impact our lives. I can't see why this case is different.
This is kind of an old article, but I still have to say this:

I can't get over how people on this website don't understand capitalism and its business practices. Is it that hard to grasp that an economic mode that is centered around the accumulation of capital engages in savage competition? That this savage competition exploits minds, throws consumers interests under the bus or can even start actual wars. Or that it's whole production process is centered around extracting value from exchanging goods, not quality, not usefulness, goodness, etc?

It's not that hard to grasp. We live it everyday.
I would wager there is a coach (or several) communicating with each live presenter via an earpiece.
Not really. Thanks to the GPU interconnect NVLINK we have system 320GB. https://www.deltacomputer.com/nvidia-dgx-a100-320gb-3ys-edu....

There are even some with 640GB. This is at a different price point though.

Well, I don't see that often the last sentence, and honestly it doesn't sounds good at all.
So 3090 price for 3060 performance, doesn't sound very promising. I wish we could exploit those gpus easier for compute, but compute with metal is simply not there, at least for now.

I think you're failing to account for the specifically viral nature of Twitter. Even a forum like reddit is a relatively isolated space for opprobrium by comparison.

I have an iPhone 12 mini, and sometimes when I drag down to enter the search field, it feels like I'm waiting for an HDD to spin up (stuck for a second or two).

It's probably not a hack, but just the towering complexity of all the different software systems developed under tight deadlines.
You concisely illustrate my point. You misuse words so that others that have learned the material cannot understand what you're writing.

Calling an m-tuple a coefficient and then calling the column span the "coefficient span" does not show understanding of the material.

>I consider it a more fundamental, more useful concept than your "rank".

The dimension of the span is the rank. It's exactly why rank is important. The nullity is the dimension of the kernel, and rank + nullity = n.

Saying rank is not important is like saying dimension is not important. The dimension of a vector space is the first and most important invariant that describes the space. Rank is that dimension for the image of a linear transform. It's absolutely fundamental. It's why when describing some linear algebra thing, one usually starts with something like "Let V be a n-dimensional real vector space" or similar. We rarely (bordering on never) write "Let V be a vector space spanned by the following vectors", and we never write "the coefficient span of the transform".

>The concept of “rank” drops out of the (misnamed) “Gaussian Elimination” algorithm

No, it is a fundamental property of the linear transformation. Gaussian elimination is but one of many ways to compute it. And no matter what choices you use in your elimination, you will always get the same rank. This is super important - that Gaussian elimination gives knowledge of the linear transformation that is independent of choice of basis or of steps performed. Changing of either vector space changes the numbers in the matrix, and different Gaussian elimination steps may have differing intermediate steps, but the rank is the rank is the rank.

It is also true that the row span = the column span = the rank, which is also not immediately obvious. These are theorems proven in basic linear algebra, and fundamental to claiming to understand basic linear algebra.

That rank shows up in Gaussian elimination is not some artifact or unique thing to Gaussian elimination. Since rank shows up everywhere, when it also shows up in Gaussian elimination shows that Gaussian elimination is doing something fundamental - it is but one of many, many ways that rank pops up over and over in linear algebra.

Rank (and nullity) are absolutely fundamental.

And no one calls that m-tuple a coefficient.

None of this is in the book above. Zero.

A final nice point to illustrate, here [1] is the index to Strang's Introduction to Linear Algebra. Rank occurs more than any just about every other entry in the index.

Here's Serge Lang's book [2]. After the word dimension, rank occurs the most in the index.

Book after book shows that after the concept of dimension, rank is probably the most important concept in linear algebra.

I could go on and on. You cannot claim to understand linear algebra without know how pervasive and useful rank is.

That's if decrease is equal and linear for all verticals, which I don't believe is the case.

They have many buttons: lots of intelligence which allows them to relocate assets before average folks, political lobbying which allows them to bailout troubled businesses in expense of national debt.

Just a heads up, pandas to Csv is laughably slow. You're literally better off converting the pandas df to arrow and then serialise to Csv with arrow, though the format is quite limited with arrow.
Connecting additional devices was the second thing talked about in the introduction, after power & performance. If anything, the focus on upgradability is growing.

And I bet the Studio is a way to release what they've done so far to serve a subset of the Pro market that has simpler expansion needs. The Pro likely requires a ton more work.
$1599 isn't quite as bad as I expected, actually.

I've still got my old 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display (a puny 2560 by 1440 pixels), which i use daily. (The convenience of built-in video/mic/USB hub, with one cable, is indispensible and more important to me than resolution, and it's been really unclear to me what else could do that with a macbook). But might be ready to upgrade to this guy.
