100%, and his understanding early on that as computing power increased we would increasingly trade computing power for ease of use. This is the fundamental realization that allowed mass adoption of personal computing and continues to drive our personal computing progression. We currently have access to personal computers that are more than plenty powerful, the limiting factor is software and its ease/speed of use now.
Apple's older 7nm chips still handily beat out Zen on the same 7nm process in performance by watt (and it's not even close).
Professionals are highly paid because of the tools they know. A Final Cut Pro pro isn’t going to switch to an off the shelf Linux or windows workstation and learn a whole new paradigm just because it’s cheaper. What I’m saying is the Mac platform is o be seen as a whole since some popular and useful Mac software like Final Cut isn’t cross platform.

Same goes if you prefer pages to word. Or software from Panic vs something else. The thing is if you’re most comfortable ale and productive on MacOS unless you build a hackintosh you need to buy a Mac and pay the mac tax but you get a whole integrated thing
It was one of the 'best' exterior and trim paints available for a time.

Not easy to remove from old window sills or concrete ledges. It only gets removed somewhat during necessary window and door replacements.

So it is ubiquitous in older houses and flats. Doesn't matter if it is 1 million USD, the lead will be somewhere if it is old enough. Particularly attics and basements, or anywhere with grindy old doors or windows -- not safe for children.

The plumbing also has lead, either through lead pipes directly or iron pipes with leaded solder or other high lead content.
The average age of a car is 12+ years already. So, even if people stop buying gasoline cars tomorrow, we’ll probably still more than keep up even if we only manage to continue to double output over 20 years. Which there’s no way in hell people are going to switch that quickly anyway.
Zen 4 will being using a new socket, I wouldn’t go buying a Zen 3 with plans to upgrade the CPU down the road.

People put in fake data to check things out and then may correct after they've seen more. What I'm saying you should let people do that correction vs having to put their actual name as an "alternative spelling". You ask for a name upfront without letting people explore the product further. It's faster and easier to just make another account with their wanted name vs. contacting customer support, I don't think actually prevents any form of abuse.
Because I’m on a Mac, everything will be rendered at 2x resolution, giving me the same usable area as a 1920x1080 display, even though the physical area is larger. That’s a step backwards—I’m not willing compromise on usable area or 2x resolution, so a 4K display isn’t good enough.

(Edit: my Cinema Display is something like 15 years old, so I’m confident I’ll get my money’s worth out of a new purchase.)
Agreements without military backing are worth their weight in paper. We've all seen how the Budapest Memorandum was honoured by Russia.

+1 on fidelity. Website and app are easy to use, good documentation, and their support is actually useful. You can call them up, get someone in the US who holds a bunch a of certifications, and ask whatever questions you want.

You can also rename accounts, which is something I oddly miss in other platforms.

Maybe 'plumber' isn't the best example since any plumber currently generating business via paid search is probably the kind of plumber you would want to avoid?
$459.03 where I’m at.
I had the same results. Super easy on audio samples, tough on video-only ones. I suspect we're all so used to compressed video that AI artifacts can hide in that noise. Just the other day a video of Putin was tagged as "green screen!!" because one part of the video appeared to show his hand move through a microphone stand.

But it wasn't. It was just shitty compression artifacts making it appear so. (Or, maybe it still was, but I'm not convinced by that evidence)

But speech cadences and patterns are super tough to counterfeit.
I've been dollar cost averaging Vanguard index tracking ETF's and been very happy.
Can somebody double check some numbers here for me? Because something seems Twilight Zone levels of weird. This article states we use 18.12 million barrels per day, and produce 18.4 million per day. Of course some of that gets sent over to the strategic petrol reserves, but for the most part that is all being used or exported. That's 6.72 billion barrels per year. We have proven reserves (as of the end of 2020) of 38.2 billion barrels. [1]

That gives us less than 6 years before we completely run through reserves. But it feels like this can't be true because it would have a huge impact on domestic producers, domestic oil prices (especially given the US' relationship with most oil producing nations), and much more. But this article didn't even bother mentioning this fact.

So.... what am I missing?

The article comes as close as possible to accusing Columbia of fraud without outright saying it. I hardly think that's dry.
I did a vaguely similar thing once. We once upon a time had a EMR / Hadoop based process that simply joined a some thousands of files of a few kb-ish from S3 each into one big file totaling 20GB or so. It worked, but took a while. After a bit of mucking with it, I noticed that the built-in tools for it used the wrong S3 API for the purpose. I wrote a simple dumb single-threaded Ruby script using the right API, and it ran like 4x faster IIRC.

Same lesson - before you reach for Big Data tools, make sure you've fully explored simple conventional solutions.
Windows is the 900 pound gorilla that won't go away. Legacy software runs on X86 X64 hardware and Microsoft has hand holding tech support that Linux does not have. With Linux you have to get on forums with trolls on them.
I recall that Touch ID on both the 5s and the 7 was equally poor for me so it doesn't seem that the second generation has improved things for me at least.
Some browsers will not be able to run the game correctly. If this happens, use Firefox instead.

Now that made me do a double take.
Funny you mention it, but this looks like the spiritual successor
Thanks for raising this topic. “Thanks for the feedback” is one of my top ten recommended books.

When there is “process on process” you get the high process culture you described.

It’s subtle in application, but significant in impact.

I’m imagining the low process culture also was single node - your performance review was more an encoding of an organic discussion.

The high process culture positions the performance review as an input to another process, I’m imagining how your leadership evaluates where you are as an org.

The overhead cost of high process is usually what people discuss - is it worth it? Is it justified? Could it be easier?

Yet in practice I’ve seen making the process easier creates an incentive to add more to the process.

For me that begs the question - who is this process truly for?

I like to keep all employee surveys/feedback systems anchored to a simple principal - it must provide more value to the participant than the perceived effort to provide it.

I’m curious - how do your two experiences compare on that?
To clarify, they didn't contain a "high amount" of asbestos, but there also wasn't "no" asbestos:

>Much of the thousands of tons of debris resulting from the collapse of the Twin Towers was pulverized concrete, which is known to cause silicosis upon inhalation. The remainder consisted of more than 2,500 contaminants, more specifically: 50% non-fibrous material and construction debris; 40% glass and other fibers; 9.2% cellulose; and 0.8% of the extremely toxic carcinogen asbestos, as well as detectable amounts of lead and mercury.

TVs have techniques to deal with this, either motion smoothing[1] or black frame insertion. PC displays can't do the first for latency reasons but I think BFI is just down to expense, or because we don't have OLED/mini-LED displays yet.

Hey- can you please not post supercilious or sneering comments? It really poisons the ecosystem. What we want is curious conversation in which people share information. Putting others down who you think aren't as smart as you or others, and calling that "amusing", is definitely not what we're looking for—no matter how wrong they are or you feel they are. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

If you know more than others, that's great—the best thing is to share some of what you know, so the rest of us can learn. Just please do it without swipes and putdowns.

Judging solely but the pictures, there are a bunch of "models" available. As I've only ever had the one, I can't comment on how the quality varies.
The processor measures it and you can use RAPL or powermetrics to read the measurement.
16 years ago, my first Bay Area engineering job was at Reputation Defender. I helped create their first product - the EXACT same thing it looks like Optery is making. Make no mistake, the company was named "reputation defender" but it was optery.

Even in 2006, the problem was the same and the solution seems roughly the same.

Reputation Defender rebranded a few times. I don't think they have this feature anymore. Might be worth asking them why they got rid of it, if that's what they did do.

Working there on the tool, I always felt like it was pointless because it's an unsolvable problem and scrubbing your info from a few hundred of the top data collection sites wouldn't SOLVE the problem... it just makes it a tiny bit less terrible but the effectiveness is not measurable. I think the TLDR is that people want solutions to things and programmatically unsubscribing only "works" in well lit neighborhoods and those too often aren't the causes of consumer pain.

Trying to solve the problem by deleting records is sort of like contract tracing coronavirus. Efforts to solve the problem by stomping it out wasn't viable and we now know we just need to learn to live with it in the endemic phase.
I don't understand how anyone tolerates pair programming.

After many years of software work I still spend half to three quarters of my time googling/experimenting with how to do things. When I'm writing/tracing code I don't want anyone else on the keypad which I have to explain a half baked thought to. Sometimes I want to just see where a half-baked idea leads! Sometimes I want focus time as I know exactly how I intend to do something and don't want to be questioned every other line of code.

I'd imagine that pair programming would devolve into a weird social game where winning strategies are either to do minimal work while one party does everything or a situation where one party does 90% of the work while demotivating their counter party. In fact - both of these strategies could be paired together!

Why would anyone want to do this?
The point of this survey is to improve the deepfakes. They aren't very difficult to spot when you've been primed and are paying attention, but the purpose here isn't to show off how good the fakes are or even challenge you to spot the difference -- it's to study what it is that gives a deepfake away. This'll ultimately be used to make the fakes more believable.
Ive tried using twitter at least four times and found it exhausting.

I found that it depends on where your interest lies.
If you just want to learn practical SQL then I have historically found the Celko books (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Celko) as well as, more recently, the No Starch Press books (https://nostarch.com/practical-sql-2nd-edition) very well written.
Everyone learns differently however. I have a colleague who really enjoyed the O’Reilly books specific to SQL from a data analytics perspective. (Apologies, no link for that)

You might frequently find the No Starch and O’Reilly books on Humble Bundle, (https://www.humblebundle.com/books?hmb_source=navbar) if that is available in your location.There’s often loads of overlap between bundles. I’m sure I’ve bought the python book about 5 times so far but I don’t mind as it’s great value.

If you want to learn about database theory, however, as well as the practicalities of SQL, then I found that most of the resources I used when I did this at uni were online. The book we used was the Connolly/Begg book (https://www.pearson.com/us/higher-education/program/Connolly...)

I don’t think this effectively answered the “why” of your question, however. My guess is that SQL is a very well established domain language and when it comes to data normalised across many tuples it’s the standard for manipulation.

I don’t think that dataset size is the primary reason to manipulate data via SQL; I think that the moment your programme starts to need more than a single flat file data source, you naturally start to think about normalisation, indexes etc for performance and sanity.

If I may, however: I am coming at this from the other way in that I am far more often manipulating CSV and excel data and would like some good resources in how to quickly load that in to a dataframe in pandas or similar vs using SQL. (If I’m responding to a thread hijack I may as well go all in and totally derail it)
I play Rust (the game, not the language) with decent graphics on an M1 Air with no issues other than heat, which an external fan quickly mitigates.

Hyperthreading and the like seems to give a pretty big performance boost. And process separation is currently a bit irrelevant on desktop for most people who have single user systems and a browser that has their entire life stored in it.

It's a bit concerning that we are not really making amazing progress in single threaded performance.

I think we might not be going quite far enough with complex instructions, and maybe we need to be able to define out own with custom microcode or something.

Like, a CPU that had just a few instructions, enough to bootstrap and that's it, and a very fast FPGA that could switch configuration quickly to make your own instructions.

Right now it takes time to send stuff to the GPU. We need acceleration we can access in one instruction, so that normal compilers can generate it all behind the scenes.

Or, alternately, modular pluggable acceleration. You could fit like 8 little MicroSD sized special purpose accelerators on a laptop MB.

Maybe file serving can be hardware accelerated. Is there an actual reason you need a beefy server to serve a ton of media, or can CDN caching be optimized the way ethernet switches are, so you have a tiny credit card size device serving 10gbps on three watts?
In cash only. You can buy any amount of foreign currency cashless.
I honestly don't know how you'd get such a number.

What I'd do is measure the total energy consumption for a while and divide that by the time the process had control over the CPU.

Perhaps the CPU and GPU can be measured separately.
This idea touches on (or rather, even expands on) an idea I've had brewing for a while. For those unfamiliar, there is a programming language called Unison [1] that has a nice feature where each function is identified by a hash of its AST. I often thought a cluster environment, maybe something BEAM-ish, would be an interesting idea where functions are retrievable based on a pair of (`func-name`, `hash`). You could have some kind of execution environment (maybe a lightweight process) that receives a hash identifying the function to execute and some pointer to the data (probably a URL) to act as input.

Given tech like described in the linked article, you could reasonably lookup such a function from a peer-to-peer network.

Bandwidth yes, latency no.

Wiring out 32 channels of DDR5 to 16 slots might not be feasible, but latency-wise Anandtech's measurements suggest the M1 Max actually has a bit higher latency to memory than e.g. Icelake-SP

Personally I'd rather see the loopholes get closed instead of adding a tax on consumer goods.

Remove some of the loopholes for trusts that let people avoid inheritance taxes. Add another tax bracket or two for capital gains. Get rid of the carried interest loophole.

What was doing press rounds proclaiming you negotiated sending Mig planes with Poland and its a done deal while Polish politicians never heard from anybody but Blinken merely proposing such an idea meant to accomplish?

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/biden-admin-talks-polan...

"The Biden administration is holding talks with Poland about a possible deal to help provide Soviet-era fighter jets to Ukraine, a White House spokesperson said."

Imagine being Polish politician and learning from US media you are in some kind of talks while none are taking place. US is making Poland look like a fool and forcing its hand. This is the result.
I am also curious about this.

One of the flaws that traditional torrents suffer from is if all the downloaders want 1 file out of 10 and thus seed 1/10, the torrent can ever again be fully downloaded if the last seeder with 100% drops off.

I suspect this is not an issue for the demo since the DB seeding is probably being monitored, but as a technique? I could definitely see chunks of a DB not being available due to no one seeding 100%
99.99% of the time there is zero cost reduction due to the presence of lead paint in a normally maintained home. All old homes have it or are assumed to have it.

Stripping is uncommon and can't remove all lead paint from porous surfaces anyway -- like concrete blocks, walls, or ledges.

Landlords use a special lead blocker paint if required to pass inspections. Otherwise -- who knows.
Excellent! A worth successor to my iPhone 7.
I'm happy that they offer a model with only a single camera, as I was scared that I would eventually be forced to upgrade to a model with three cameras, which would be a complete waste for me.
I updated my browser and when it finished I was greeted by this ad. Now I'm figuring out how to disable notifications that an update is available and prevent checking for them entirely so that I don't get shown an ad because I made the mistake of updating a piece of software.

Doesn't this sort of endorsement require disclosure? Not a lawyer but I would expect there to be something marking the content of the page as an advertisement. Some cursory browsing of what looks like relevant FTC pages (I and Mozilla are both American) seems to support this[1].

I wholeheartedly agree with you. My point was just that even things which are supposed to be relaxing and apolitical like board games, are being politicized over things like discussing name changes. And that sucks.
This article touches on it, the _why_ of the process, and Bezos put it really nicely in one of his shareholder letters.

"The process becomes the proxy for the result you want. You stop looking at outcomes and just make sure you're doing the process right."

People change, organisation evolves and the process becomes the goal -- and that's when the process falls apart. Which is why I have a bit of aversion towards strictly enforced processes. Good organisations will seek feedback on processes, encourage you to ask questions, and _sometimes_ old processes will get reverted because they are not applicable anymore but because of inherent inertia it's always a little too late.

His stats are from 2020. That’s pre Biden. Biden blocked oil producers from pumping on federal land. I wonder if the numbers are different today.
If you apply your suggestion to existing x86 designs, you would get chips that are slower than current ones while needing more silicon for security features - so they would be slower and also more expensive just to mitigate some extremely-difficult-to-exploit vulnerabilities. I don't think anyone would actually buy those chips. Maybe they could be marketed for applications with higher security requirements, but that would make them a niche product and thus even more expensive.

(also not an expert however)
Not true. Abatement is required. That is not the same as removal. Lead blocker paint or otherwise taking the surface out of contact is usual solution.
No one outside of SF, Tokyo, & NYC cares about saving power or space for desktops which is why people panned the old garbage can pro. This is a slightly better direction, but I’m still waiting for a slightly more affordable bigger box Mac that isn’t an exorbitant Mac Pro. The old refrigerator models were reasonable. I don’t want an improved Mac garbage can model
I believe designing/manufacturing a 5nm chip only used for Mac Pro can't be profitable. That's why they designed M1 Ultra as MCM of M1 Max.
Strangely negative. The ACM award isn't the only reason people celebrate Turing...
Yeah, just to clarify: the point of my anecdote is that even things like board games, which are supposed to be fun and relaxing, are being politicized by some people over topics like name changes.
If I‘d need an always-on white noise generator that heats up my apartment in the summer, then a way higher TDP is something I‘d aim for, too.
Yeah I agree with you. I do sometimes wish that phones were made of ugly textured injection molded nylon or ABS so that we didn’t have to buy cases. Nobody needs a case to protect the finish on their power tools or their remote control or their key fob. But phones have to be pretty to sell so we get delicate shiny designs instead and basically everything needs a case by default.
But will we actually phase it out? Have we actually found alternatives with high enough energy density to handle things like air travel?
This article is misleading. His stats are from 2020 before Biden barred oil pumping on federal lands and banned fracking!!!!
