Apple is one of the world's biggest proliferators of e-waste through indirect means. No charger with the new phone huh? Well it's USB-C cable won't fit your old charger or computer either.

USB-A is the de-facto standard for thumb drives. Are we all just supposed to throw them away overnight because Apple blessed us with computers without USB-A ports? Or, they'll sell you a dongle for $19 which can be had on Aliexpress for $0.75. Would it have killed them to throw an extra USB-A 3.x port on the nearly empty front panel? It carries nearly the same signals as USB-C minus power delivery. No, this was a purely aesthetic decision. Apple could design a brick PC with no ports besides power and people would still pleasure themselves into a coma at the thought of spending $2k on such a grotesque monstrosity.
Many things are true simultaneously. Genocide is a moral abomination, and we should be vigilant in guarding against it and its precursors. And folks with below average intelligence are just as human as everyone else, deserving of the same respect and the same rights. And there are many contemporary factors that would seem to make high IQ people less likely to procreate low IQ people--including the high cost (including trade-off costs) of children and the ready availability of contraceptives. And long term downward pressure on IQ would be a disaster for our civilization and a danger to our species.

We can't let the ghosts of eugenicists past scare us away from asking important questions. Avoiding the awful mistakes of the past will require care and diligence, and can be (must be!) done without embracing the easy path of reactionary "moral" ignorance.
Your CPU is always, always locked into a closed-loop control system involving temperature and voltage. Always! The user cannot also be in the loop. If you want a turbo button you'll need to accept 486-level performance and battery life.
I also have an original SE, and it's not only websites that renders strangely, also apps are sometimes unusable. I guess iOS developers forget to test in lower screen resolutions just as much as website developers.
From the tweet reply you used sccache with hot cache, which would probably be mostly single-threaded since it's just fetching and copying things from cache.
My guess is that you don't have much control over which chunks of data you can request over IPFS compared to BitTorrent.
Gasoline is not big business? They had a "scientist" on staff, that proclaimed that leaded fuel was harmless. Who cares about paint, when there are millions of cars driving around blowing lead dust into the air? The (real) scientist who saw a connection needed years to prove it. By digging into the ice in the arctis he was able to prove, that the high lead levels where a recent phenomenon. The documentary Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey by Neil deGrasse Tyson [0] tells this story much better than i ever could and much more... Highly recommended!

It's a quote ascribed to Rutherford ("all science is physics or just stamp collecting"). I also heard it when studying protein structures in the 90s (the idea being, if you're just a crystallographer cranking out more structures, you're doing stamp collecting; the real reason to determine structures is to elucidate the general principles of protein folding and function).

Note that protein structure prediction finally fell to machine learning and it was "mostly stamp collecting" (IE, the accurate predictions come from subtle analysis of rich protein sequence alignments, not from understanding the fundamental principles of protein folding).
Read the the agreement again. It only mandates that the countries that signed the agreement wouldn't be the ones to attack Ukraine - it didn't include any obligation to defend them.
The Russian government offers its own incentives, in form of prison terms for anyone who so much as utters the word "war".

12k people arrested in protests so far, and counting. >4k in a single day recently.

With io_uring you can easily get 100K IOPS per-thread using NVMe flash. If you can push that many IOPS to one disk, using io_uring may simplify your problem.
The Norway peak in 2011 is entirely from the Utøya mass homicide.

Japan follows a similar curve despite starting and peaking later, 70% of those crimes for the whole period are nonviolent petty thefts. My mistake in including Japan doesn’t support either point your tried to make. Neither place has mass incarceration.
I think the naming is based entirely around how the announcement sentence lands in the keynote. So they've optimized for "We're adding one last chip to the M1 family, and it's gonna blow your mind... (M1 Ultra appears on screen)".
Ask HN: Can anybody else not use their computer for much other than coding?
I'm a programmer and very focused on my software engineering skills. I tend to spend time on my computer either programming or learning some new tech, and tend to feel 'guilty' when I'm using my computer for anything else.
> If Russia is or is not justified in its invasion of Ukraine, what is it?

I've no idea. I don't know if there is such a thing as a justified invasion; and if there is, then what are its criteria; and whether all countries have agreed to recognize the same set of criteria; and what specific criteria Russia would claim that it met in this case.

I know that there were several ill-defined reasons that the Russian government offered to its citizens. Obviously, after the invasion had already started. Obviously, insisting that they are in the right. I have not heard an in-depth analysis of their reasons against the criteria of a justified invasion. All I heard are fragments.

> What word would you use here when someone is attempting to draw a comparison in order to make one thing "ok" because of another thing?

"similar"? "dissimilar"? "understandable"? "incomprehensible"?

"ok" is a moral judgement; and applying a moral yardstick to instigators of a war is ... hard.
Why would you support a regressive tax scheme that impacts the poor and middle class far more than the wealthy? To be clear, I'm not trying to be argumentative. I just don't understand this viewpoint at all.
Whether PyTorch supports it... I'm not sure, but Tensorflow is still an immensely popular framework, and it is supported:

I'm not sure that a tenuous link to communism based on the location of production, that doesn't make any appearance in the work itself, would be considered a political element (can't believe I just referred to baby shark as "the work").

I get what you're trying to point at but some things don't even make an implicit value statement like it would if baby shark somehow showed the nuclear family as an inherent good.

Regardless, that's enough media analysis of kids youtube songs for me for one day!

DisplayPort 1.2 cannot even do 5k at 60Hz at 10 bits per channel. You might be thinking about DisplayPort 2.0, which is not yet widely supported in video cards or monitors, and even then it needs the (essentially non-existent) UHBR 20 data rate to get to 120Hz.

HDMI 2.1 does support 5K@120Hz@10bpc but requires DSC as you say, which is not very commonly found either.

(Note that unlike what a sibling comment states, DSC is lossy. Some argue that the less is not noticeable to the human eye, but not everyone agrees)
Wasn’t this broached by Stonehenge decoded in 1963? As I recall, all sorts of alignments were postulated and there was some disbelief in such complexity. Has that changed or is somebody recapitulating the work?

I think Republicans and Democrats could do with having their blood tested to see if there really is a link between lead levels and republicanism.
Largest refineries in Canada that refine Canadian crude are in Alberta, Imperial's 191M barrels/day and Suncor's 142M barrels/day, both in Edmonton and then you can add on Fort Saskatchewan's 100M barrels/day, just outside of Edmonton. There's a west coast city that is nearly entirely dependent on Albertan crude oil & refining.

Sarnia is refining an already upgraded bitumen though, so it's only getting half of the garbage. Also Line 9 goes from Sarnia to Montreal, Enbridge Mainline goes from Alberta to Sarnia.
lol, good one! I hope marketing sees this.
Yes, because Ukraine is not a NATO member.
If it was, then as per treaty, the alliance would respond.

How is that not clear?
> My mom uses an old iPhone 5, and is only giving it up this year because the carrier will no longer support 3G.

Can you explain this in more detail? I'm pretty sure I misunderstand, but how will a phone upgrade affect the 3G-carrier-link?
I wonder if the project codename was MK Ultra?
i think what’s missing is that fracking is used in the U.S.

non-fracking methods are used outside the U.S.

fracking is worse for the environment than non-fracking methods.

i hold my personal opinions on each point but i think this is what OP was trying to convey
Yes, I never understood why light was considered 'particles' :-(

As far as I understand it is because light can only be emitted by atoms with discrete energy levels, but (IMHO again) light is emitted by atoms with discrete energy levels because it is emitted when electrons jumps from one energy level to another and that the possible trajectory of electrons around the atoms aren't continuous, I don't see how this is related to the nature of light..

I think that with an [undulator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undulator) you can tune "continuously" the energy of the light emitted: in the webpage it is written "the emitted radiation is coherent with a wavelength determined by the period length and the beam energy", but as the precise relationship between the beam energy and the wavelength produced isn't specified I'm not 100% sure..
So in that one, you've got a 20-thread Intel part (6+8C/20T) at probably 3.5 GHz going against a 10-thread Apple part (8+2C/10T), at probably 3 GHz, and the Apple part still comes out on top by ~5% in Cinebench R23 MT. And that's with Intel having 50% more high-performance threads available.

Work out the IPC there - the Intel has a 2x thread count advantage, a 17% clock advantage, and Apple comes out 5% ahead. So the IPC gap there is about 2.46x.

It's not a perfect comparison of course, since we're mixing SMT and big/little cores, but in basically every area Intel should (on paper) have more resources available and Apple is coming out on top anyway by sheer IPC.

That's what I'm saying - you can't really do that approach with x86. It's not power-advantageous or transistor-advantageous to go super wide on the decode or reorder buffer like that on x86. And regardless of the tricks x86 uses to mitigate it, you've still got a 2.5x IPC gap at the end of the day. A 2.5x IPC gap will not be closed up by just a single node shrink.

And that's looking at MT, where your task scales perfectly. See where I'm going with this? Intel is using 2x the number of threads, and 3x the number of efficiency cores to get there. Apple can deliver that punch across a much lower number of threads - meaning ST-bottlenecked tasks will scale much much better on Apple.

With a single-threaded test, the M1 is pulling 7W vs 33W for the Alder Lake intel. Obviously that tells us nothing about efficiency, since we'd need to know the scores, but that's the downside, is for normal, poorly-threaded tasks, like surfing the web or editing code, the 12900HK is going to be boosting high to reach the same performance levels the M1 does at 3 GHz. And that's exactly what you see in the power figures there.

In short: you will likely see x86 able to keep up in one metric or another. You can win on performance if you just go nuclear on power. You can match on power on perfectly-threadable tasks that allow the x86 to deploy twice the threads (sharing instruction cache/etc). You can match on single-threaded battery life if you accept lesser performance. But the overall performance of the M1 derives from the massive IPC it generates, and that's something that x86 can't match nearly as easily.

Going ham on a single metric just to claim victory isn't nearly the same thing as the level of all-round performance and efficiency that Apple has achieved there.

(see also, putting a 128-thread Threadripper 3990WX workstation up against a 10-thread M1 Max laptop just to win at rendering... and people here thought that disproved that Apple was great hardware lol)

Does the lazy loading combined with the torrent mean that you can lose individual rows if nobody has accessed them recently?
Are more modern information-theoretic and dynamical models not used for quantum mechanics? They're both relatively recent and extremely innovative mathematical models.

Granted, I'm not mathematically fluent enough to know if they represent a deviation from variational calculus!
What's got equal specs at that size and a lower price?
Your comment was sort of aimed at both me and the GP, but FWIW I'm not saying nothing bad ever happened to anybody on hallucinogenics. My main point is that the war on drugs has stymied our ability properly to study and understand these substances which incontrovertibly have some real benefits.
How are you going to do diplomacy when we know what Putin wants and it is unacceptable to all other parties? People keep lamenting why we have wars, well, this is why. Sometimes people are dead-set on taking your stuff by force. If you aren't okay with being abused, then you have to fight back. Sometimes negotiation just isn't possible.
That may be a bit reductive, but I take your point. The deepest skilled niches in our field always pay most in absolute terms.
People litigate all sorts of things today. One would think that leaving the ship and holding salary and rank would be sufficient. It’s not like he has any future in the service after this bs.
If it's real it does make sense, same single core score and double multicore compared to m1 max

This is Google with their new battery-powered Nest Doorbell explaining that it can't record 24/7 video _even when it's plugged in_ because "it's too thin and the thermals presented problems."

Personally I'm thinking of Adelaide, Australia. It might not be the strongest example in the world but here is a photo that shows it off https://m3.efront.digital/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/iStock-...

Shiny modern towers next to historical buildings. All of the buildings in this photo are from a range of times and design styles. I think if you took any one of these buildings and made the rest look similar, the aesthetics would be degraded.
Does that con on Canadian oil apply to all Canadian oil or just oil extracted from tar sands?
They disabled search on the site due to some concerns from state AGs, so it's useless at the moment.
I missed one video-only one (I was correctly leaning "fake", since it felt "off", but second-guessed myself with the reflection off Biden's forehead: "Surely the AI would fuck that up, right?") and somehow only missed one of the text ones despite randomly guessing (how am I supposed to know if it's real or fake?). Had I stuck to my uncanny-valley-recognizing gut, I probably would've aced the audio and/or video ones.
> I couldn't disagree more strongly. Russia is murdering thousands of people per day. Every day, including today. This is not the time for plodding deliberation. Quick action has the possibility of saving millions of homes and thousands of lives.

In my experience this is exactly the kind of rhetoric that leads to large mistakes.

This whole climate reminds me of post-9/11. Hope it goes better this time.
Because the general public is supposed to be the people who get to vote for your president? The US is, after all, supposed to be a representative republic - that "representative" stands for "representing the general public".

I thought that would be clear without the need for any explanation. Maybe the fact that explanation is needed gives an indication of the sorry state of the democratic process.
Eloquently expressed. Further thoughts:

1. Reaction/Social Interplay:

If you play Catan (or tennis or amateur theatre group etc) with a person for long enough you will come to know these bits about them. However, as most small country town people know, you ignore or otherwise put up with "their stupidity" while trying not to shove what they see as "your stupidity" in their face. This is respect for others.

Such respect helps preserve the alliance to get the outcome you want - a game of Catan. Hence, even Sue-the-Otherwise-Intolerable isn't all bad, they like to play Catan like you do right?

As you eloquently advise, the internet doesn't "hide your stupidity from others" so that is grating. It also doesn't promote people ignoring your stupidity. It promotes "engagement"...

2. Shared experience

Experience is how humans build trust/relationships. Y'know, a first date cliche is a movie then coffee or dinner. The shared movie experience forms a basis to trust each other ("Well they didn't yabber on the phone the whole time so they're not all bad...") and then talking about the experience after may yield new insights on that experience. And those insights are attributed to that person alone ("I didn't think of it that way, very good point Sue." or "Nope. That's just stupid Sue.") even though the experience itself is already in the past!

Even though virtual experiences can be such a basis - IE Game of Thrones as "viral" thing - I submit that in person experiences are more powerful by far.

You tolerate Sue-the-Otherwise-Intolerable in person to get your fix of Catan. But you wouldn't do that for a virtual Sue, you'd just move onto Bob, Mary, Joe or Jane or whoever else the game's matchmaker throws up.
I'v seen (more than once) Apple Store employees push people away from higher-end devices, or from buying devices altogether (happened with me) when they didn't think the bigger sticker price would serve the customer well, so at least apple is happy to give that same advice to their own customers.

> you should build your application to account for the queue being down

Maybe. but the whole idea is that the queuing infrastructure is intrinsically more reliable than the rest of the system. So while you may design for it, you can do so with different thresholds for severity of what the conseqeunces might be.
Not to mention the whole addiction factor of their products. Won't be good for moral.

I think it is because we have gutted the idea of a liberal arts education.
Shakespeare is supposed to be read along with a massive amount of other literature going back to the Greeks. We have ditched most of that though besides Shakespeare for some reason so it doesn't make sense and makes him stick out more than he should.
“Xeno” comes from Xenopus laevis, or African clawed frog, the model organism supplying the cells.
Was being a bit tongue in cheek, but yes, it depends on your definition of politeness. I’d argue that being genuinely polite, ie being genuinely respectful and considerate, involves the kind of self sacrifice you’re describing. But I also agree that when most people imagine politeness, they imagine what I’d call “superficial politeness”, not “genuine politeness”

Does anyone know if there is a test that can tell "historical" levels of lead? It sticks around in the blood right? So if I get a regular lead test will it account for any historical consumption?

Has there also been any research into devising a test to determine if IQ has fallen due to lead poisoning? I guess I don't see a way for this data to be collected after the fact?
Because it just means Ukraine will be invaded again later.
"Temporarily" does not preclude the later choice of "okay, that went to shit, so 'permanently'". I mean, sheesh, you expect their PR people to sign off on "permanently" if there's even a glimmer of hope of reopening down the road?
Apple is not interested in releasing a cheap dumb commodity PC-compatible monitor and never will be. It just doesn't make sense for them. For a lot of reasons.

Other companies can handle that market.
That would not help. The reason proton works so well is because Linux on x86 and Windows on x86....are both on x86.

Proton on ARM Mac's would involve Rosetta and while that does a surprisingly good job of running x86 on ARM I'm not sure it's up to the job of running games at high speed...
It depends. Usually the Dockerfiles are on GitHub anyway and you can take a peek, but a lot of them probably just install binaries or packages hosted elsewhere by the company.

That’s a bit harder to audit.

Professional physicists are so lost in the mathematics of wave functions they have lost touch with reality.
The author writes that he is "still waiting for a straight answer as to what the structure of the atoms that make up my body is". The answer to this is more of a biochemistry or molecular biology question than a quantum physics question.
WebRTC errors can be caused by being behind a double NAT, using a VPN or proxy, being in privacy browsing mode, or a privacy extension.

I do, however, have a strategic reserve of fitness wearables in a kitchen drawer. I am standing by.
That does seem like it's probably gonna be the trickiest part of the negotiations, doesn't it?

Zelensky has said he is open to neutrality, but the problem is that he would need some sort of security guarantees moving forward. Demilitarization of the sort Russia originally envisioned is probably out of the question in any case, so that would solve part of it.

Maybe some solution involving international peacekeepers and demilitarized zones could work. Or escape clauses where Ukraine is permitted to annul their neutrality in the event of future aggression by Russia.

Ah, like that Genshin Impact game Apple was using in their iPad Air demo earlier today. Good example!
USB-C to DisplayPort cables are like $14 on Amazon. I'm responding to you using one. I have a MacBook Air in clamshell mode with 1 USB-C going to the display and a $10 hub that does Power Delivery and 3 USB-A ports for speakers, Yubikey, and external SSD for backup.

I had a M1 Mac Mini but I do occasionally want to take a Mac with me so I replaced it with the Air. I only slightly miss the extra ports on the Mini.
