> The reluctance of Poland to do this directly is completely understandable, as it borders both Belarus and Russia, the latter having stated that it would consider this an act of war (which cannot be ignored, even if Russia's official statements seem little more than incoherent ramblings at this point).

The relevant statement I'd read had to do with letting Ukraine operate from air bases in other countries, not with supplying aircraft, which seemed to be a carefully crafted statement to avoid calling aircraft transfers an act of war, since it came out right around the (second) time this started to be talked about. Was there another?
I used to be one of the biggest Apple fanboys/apologists but I’ve since put Linux on my MacBook Pro from 2013 and built a Linux workstation and rarely use my 2020 MacBook Pro anymore, I say this because I yawned at the over-the-top Apple marketing. The products are interesting, sure, but I wasn’t blown away. It’s mostly the prices. The hardware is just far above what I can afford these days — even though my MacBook Pro from 2013 is so well made it still works now, and buying a 2 or 3 thousand dollar MacBook now I am sure it’d last just as long but it’s just too much. Though I am saving for one for multimedia work, probably a used M1 MacBook Air.
Ukraine attacking Russia would be akin to Finland attacking the USSR during the Winter War.

It's like a mouse attacking a cat. The mouse might get lucky and survive an attack by a cat, but it has no chance of killing the cat.

Ukraine is also likely to lose all Western support if it attacked Russia.

If they survive at all (which is still very doubtful), they'll likely lick their wounds and try to rebuild their shattered country rather than go on the offensive in Russia proper.
Too bad Grsecurity isn't able to work together with upstream, their security knowledge seems to be legit.
Also, the memory model is quite different - with the ultra-fast SSD and ultra-fast on-die RAM. You can get away with significantly less RAM for the same tasks, not just because of de-duplication but because data comes in so quickly from the SSD that paging isn't nearly the hit it is on say an Intel based Mac.

I'd expect it to work more like a game console, streaming in content from the SSD to working memory on the fly, processing it with the CPU and video decode blocks, and insta-sharing it with the GPU via common address space.

All that is to say, where you needed 1.5TB of RAM on a Xeon, the architectural changes on Apple Silicon likely mean you can get away with far less and still wind up performing better.

The "GHz myth" is dead, long live the "GB myth."
Offline is just bandwidth saving feature. It is not intended to be 100% offline especially when all service APIs are down. It is designed for no network, not handle failures of service backend.

Glad that Apple is finally back in the game of making monitors that don't cost $6k.

Now make the same thing, but 6880x2880 ultrawide.
Bash is a godsend for quick debugging and I can see the temptation to start writing production code using bash. It basically boils down to a few things IMO:
- large bash scripts are hard to read/maintain
- complex modelling chains need intermediary points in the processing
On the latter point I can't count the amount of times where being able to query an athena database has saved a lot of headaches. The overhead from parquet and AWS bills pales in comparison. I'm sure almost everyone already agrees with me here but it's a classic case of the whole being more than the sum of its parts.
Most of the independents are not voting most of the time. The ones that do swing between parties because we have clearly demonstrated that there is no organized independent party. Like workers without a union.

Would something like huggingface transformers ever be able to support this? Or is it best fit to just use the GPU.
I disagree. I think the types of people this article is about - the silent majority of non-tweeters - are happy to compartmentalise different aspects of their lives within different circles. It's the tweeting minority who feel like they need to broadcast their every righteous thought to as many people as possible.
I never thought about it like this. This really helped me, thanks.
Depends on what we're comparing, an average 20-core Dell Precision workstation costs about $10k.
That doesn’t match my understanding of history which is that both hitler and Stalin knew that conflict was inevitable and that Hitler was delayed in invading the soviets only due to Mussolini needing to get bailed out in the south. Their peace agreements were obviously fragile.

The German invasion of the Soviets was incredibly brutal and hardly a sweep for either side, e.g. Stalingrad. Your account of history feels way off to me. You don’t endure Stalingrad and come out of it thinking that you played them.
I guess that explains a lot, but let's not ignore the horrendous education system.
The "silent majority" is a specific reference. It was popularised by Nixon during the Vietnam war. It doesn't literally mean they are silent, just that they are not the focus of the media.
The information you're looking for is accessible. I don't argue with people who say Bill Gates doesn't donate much money, either.

I suspect that there are a LOT of disaffected Republicans who are conservative but not Trumpian authoritarians. In the same way, there are a LOT of disaffected Democrats who are liberals but not woke/cancel culture social justice warriors. So, yeah, I agree - there's room for a new party.
that gives the impression of a data center or ISP , with a "cloudflare box" or two on the racks. that sounds reasonable.

if someone attacks or disrupts a cloudflare server from the rest of its cluster, its goes into "panic mode" and encrypts, then a re-key must occur before the box is booted.
Your suggestion was tried for years and failed every time because it doesn’t work. HiDPI shipped because it was 2x or nothing. (Later there was 3x.)

The reason Windows developers still think it might work is they have no taste and don’t care about localized UI, pixel cracks, or blurry bitmap controls.
I’m sure their UX Researchers try, but like most shops their findings never make it into the skulls of the PM’s and Devs. There’s a massive issue in our industry with R&D ignoring UX research guidance, or just flat out thinking they know better.

I don't think nuclear winter is the biggest risk from a "small nuclear war." I'm not an expert at all, but my understanding is that the nuclear winter narrative was outdated and overhyped (especially when thinking about a detonation of two or three warheads, rather than hundreds or thousands).
Yes, that's called an opinion. I think the design doesn't look good, I think it's the most disappointed I have been with hardware design from Apple, and made my disappointment known. It even starts with "I think".

Ranked choice voting has been implemented for presidential elections in 2 states. Which isn't much, but it's a start, and it seems like there's popular demand for it. That would help to fight the annoying "A vote for [third-party] is a vote for [party-i-dont-like]" argument.
How is slotted RAM slower? 6400Mhz DIMM exists. This would match the specs of the RAM on the M1 Max. Even octa-channel has been done before so the memory bus would have the exact same width, latency and clock frequency.
That is very cool, I didn't know about that feature. I agree, that would be super neat. The closest Apple Music gets is you can set it up to automatically download to mobile any tracks added to library with the "+" button.

M1 Pro -> 5.8 MH/s, with a 17w draw, means $12.82 a month profit. I don't imagine the M1 Ultra is too much better, maybe 20 MH/s at absolute most, but we'll see. It definitely won't be as economical as 3070 or 3080 FE cards at current profitability levels.

Right. Still riding gains from the node shrink and on package memory.

Could AMD/Intel follow suit and package memory as an additional layer of cache? I worry that we are being dazzled by the performance at the cost of more integration and less freedom.
The whole point of music streaming services is to avoid doing this. Maybe it works for you, but that does not sound like a sustainable strategy for someone who listens to 100+ albums a year.
Is it actually more powerful than a top of the line threadripper[0] or is that not a "personal computer" CPU by this definition? I feel like 64 cores would beat 20 on some workloads even if the 20 were way faster in single core performance.

You're right, it's priced higher than RTX3090. Because HP sells the whole system with RTX3090 at $2909 right now.
Depending on your use case. Assuming no video editing (since this is HN), for equivalent performance I guess they can't beat their rivals on price. Different story for power tho.

That works for getting labor for the military. It doesn't work for getting producers of things to produce more for less -- unless you put a gun to their heads, they won't do it, not even during war time.
I don't think Speakers' Corner is remotely comparable to how social media works today.

Very few people spoke there, and very little of what they said was distributed beyond Hyde Park or recorded for posterity. I'm lucky enough to have seen a couple of people speak there, and they were both rather... eccentric. And even they didn't stand there all day, every day giving their opinions on everything that happened.
My wife and I would like to move to another city. We have a 9 and 11 year old that we would be pulling out of their current school.

Making the move is daunting because we worry our kids will struggle to make new friends and we don't know that we'll love the area like we think we might (plus, we don't dislike our current city).

The safe thing to do is to stay put. There's little risk and we know what to expect. But I believe that we will have wished we would have made the move when looking back 20 years from now.
Very useful to me. Hard to find practical testing stuff online.

We rent our entertainment now, it won't be possible to own all the songs average listener consumes at $100-200/year outlay that streaming apps charge.

The trade off for that very cheap renting model instead of owning it, is you can get kicked out anytime for any reason.

>In that case, it's most likely working as intended.

You are very casual in claiming that there is such an intentional correlation between developers who are not willing to spend 90+ minutes on a non-technical prescreen with a 15% success rate and competent developers who can translate business needs into actionable steps. It's reasonable to say you are willing to accept that there are developers who are unwilling to go through this process, but to say you are filtering them out intentionally is needlessly contemptuous.
I'm more annoyed by slow progress in refresh rates. Resolutions have progressed pretty nicely IMO, but the top end monitors from Dell, Apple etc still all running at 60hz.

Why would Russia stay in Ukraine for decades?

The will to commit Russia's military in Ukraine is pretty much Putin's alone. His narrative around the invasion was proven completely untrue within days. The sanctions are making life extremely difficult for both ordinary Russians, and for the wealthy oligarchs. Ordinary Russians are being asked to go die in a war against their Ukrainian brothers and sisters, who keep telling their Russian brothers and sisters to stop the madness and get the fuck out. And finally, Putin is 70, how much longer is he going to stay in control?

Depends on what you compare it to.

A basic 8TB SSD is about $500, but it's also more than 10x slower than what's in the Mac. A fast 8TB SSD from Sabrent, which is still slower than what's in the Mac, is about $1800.

Of course not everyone needs a blazing fast SSD for all their stuff. But that's why it has USB ports in the back.
I should have stated that! The conversations can tend to flow in abstract ways, but that's how chat sort of works? The general rule is that it's Ok so long as it comes back on topic, with the option to just create a new post. Will be adding an easier way to do that soon.

> only the weirdos who don't have much to lose, report that. Survivorship fallacy... You don't know any of the reports non-weirdos would make if they could do it without harming their own reputations

But this is again a non-argument. It proves nothing and adds nothing of value. "Of course you are only hearing from bullshitters, reasonable people are afraid to speak" is indistinguishable from "reasonable people don't believe in this stuff".

CEOs believe in all sort of bizarre stuff and fads, what sort of evidence is that? And in any case you (someone I don't know writing on the internet) claiming a CEO he/she knows that claims to have a funny story about UFOs is meaningless. I hope you understand why.

> it's amazing what people will tell you when they feel you will not judge or shame them!

But that's anecdote. It's the job of science and scientists to judge claims. Especially contentious, extraordinary claims must be examined more closely. Since UFOlogy is a religion that attracts quacks, it must be judged extra super carefully and all non-alien explanations must be carefully considered first. But UFOlogists react defensively to this, they want their claims to be taken at face value, "with an open mind", another telltale sign of conspiracies ("don't be narrow minded!").

> The footage seems to be getting better and there's such a long list of reliable witnesses at this point that to claim otherwise is extremely willfully ignorant.

The footage of the Ghost of Kyiv was convincing, and it turned out to be DCS (a realistic flightsim). What you want is solid scientific evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence visiting us, of which there is none.

Not that there is realistic footage of extraterrestrial life either.

There is no long list of reliable witnesses nor solid scientific evidence, contrary to your claims.
But the topic can never come up in organic conversation altogether.
1) Are you getting the data brokers to entirely delete a person's information from their records or are you just trying to prevent the information from being displayed online? If the latter, then this is only half a solution because the data broker can still sell your information. If the former, is there any way to actually confirm the information has been removed.

2) How do you handle making sure that you are not 'adding' more information to a data broker who already has information about you? For example, a friend of mine once found his information publicly available on a website on the internet. To remove his information from being publicly displayed, the website required him to provide a phone number where he would receive a confirmation text code that he had to add to the removal request form. This essentially means the website now has more information (another phone #) about him.

3) Some of the information these websites display are gathered from public government databases like court records, county registrations of house sales, etc. I would assume those records can't be 'removed' or 'hidden'. Do you have a specific way of dealing with such?
Funny idea, yet unrealistic. The capable Russians will make their way to the near by countries. The Russia will fall behind.

You're going to have to explain how product placement in search isn't ads.

I worked at Yahoo! Travel in the before times, so hello from a fellow Travel industry person, I've got a Travelocity gnome in my stuff from work area. :) We had lots of advertising on our pages too, but it was always clearly marked (for some value of clearly); Yahoo! had done some pay for search ranking deals long before I joined, but they were clearly frowned upon by the time I was there; organic results had to be organic, although certainly if an advertiser is pushing a hotel that's going to get traffic which could boost rankings (I don't think Y! Travel included traffic in hotel rankings, but we didn't have a super thorough data pipeline)
Even in the worst days for Russia during the German invasion, when it seemed like Moscow would be overrun, the Soviet Union kept substantial forces on the border with Japanese-occupied China. Although the two countries having a nonaggression pact, the Soviets remained fearful of the Japanese invading from the east. By 1945 the situation had changed, of course, with the Soviets being the ones to abrogate the pact and then formally entering the war against Japan in August 1945.
