was surprised to learn that the CPUs and GPUs on the M1x chips are essentially a single unit, and for the M1 Ultra they basically slapped two M1’s together.

in traditional PC building, the CPU is quite distinct from the GPU. can anyone ELI5 what the benefits are to having the CPU closely integrated with GPU like the M1 has? seems a bit unwieldy but i dont know anything about computer architecture
I think his anti-conformity is uniform. You definitely have to buck popular convention to repeatedly lease the same car and wear the same clothes everyday. No one does that.
Yes, binary reasoning that you're continuing to engage in by framing it as Putin automatically starting a nuclear war. I know we want to think that NATO deterrence is absolute, but when it comes down to it any response will be moderated by possible counter-responses.
For some definitions of "affordable."
This isn't a new silent majority, is it? Has there ever been a majority of people who tweet?

Twitter is a social media platform with it's own character and culture, and it is a tool for being informed on niche topics in realtime, similar to subreddits. It's not for everyone.
I don't think most of them -- maybe any of them -- were his losses originally!
> Why is this automatically the reaction you have? Did you read the article titled "Maria Divina O’Brien takes us inside the Caribbean tech scene"? There is not a single thing about the Caribbean tech scene.

The misleading title was already addressed in the parent to their post.

The comment I responded to had no commentary on the content of the submitted article, but instead described an anticipated onslaught of ‘boring and predictable’ articles because of it being women’s history month.

The reason the reaction happened is that it echoes a familiar whinging about diversity initiatives around representation.

Not sure if you have ever been "on-call"

If you run a well org... "calls" for ;on-call ppl will be few - but the stress of being mentally "available 24/7" on the on-call position is greater than the stress of tactically dealing with the random event...

Thus, lets assume its your on-call week - and you are supposed to take yur SO for Dinner for [EVENT] (anivv, date-nite, familial thing) - etc...

Do you know how much emotional/mental stress that puts on the employee?

You want your top ops guy avail when you need him in a pinch and he is NOT the guy on call, but the SME who can only solve this X?

Yeah - you best treat them well, to ensure not noly THEY BUT THEIR ENTIRE FAMILIES RECOGNIZE THEIR VALUE.

How many douche-bag managers ONLY think about their emplyees contribution as pposed to the actual contribution their family sacrifices to your fucking company?

Their kids? THier wives/husbands/relationships?

GO FUCK YOURSELF IF YOU THINK IN ANY TERMS OTHER THAN ***HUMAN***

{I AM TALKING TO IT/OPs ON-CALL CULTURE IN GENERAL, NOT YOU IN SPECIFIC. IF You are an ops/SRE/DevOps/IT manager - heed my comment..

This is the reason every employee I have had wants to work with me again.

Family first. And if you live alone, Family First (you are your family. Take care of yourself)
> USB C/Thunderbolt is the new PCIe bus

Oh please hell no.

I have to unplug and plug my USB-C camera at least once a day because it gets de-enumerated very randomly. Using the best cables I can get my hands on.

File transfers to/from USB-C hard drives suddenly stop mid-transfer and corrupt the file system.

Don't ask me why, I'm just reporting my experiences, this is the reality of my life that UX researchers don't see because they haven't sent me an e-mail and surveyed me.

Never had such problems with PCIe.
This is a very good summary. The only thing missing is a better back story of Crimea. Roughly, for the geographic reasons you noted it was an aspiration and then strategic territory of the Russian Empire for hundreds of years. It was transferred from Russia to Ukraine when they were both part of the USSR as a symbolic gesture and to ease administration.
I really wish they took actual things the individual said in the past, but used a deepfake for them actually saying it. Most of the deepfakes were easy to spot, but a couple weren't clear at first that they were fake, only to be given away by the content of their speech.
My personal take: my two 27" 4K LG monitors run GREAT here. I like the extremely small vertical bezels on both of them (one is a 144Hz and the other is a 60Hz). Connectors are fine. The monitors don't move at all, so build quality issues are imperceptible here. I think I paid something like $600 for each one at different points in time.
Yes, we have much more in common with software development than we do with manufacturing. We have more stages of production than software, and we have a challenging situation of shared resources between projects (we are generally working anywhere from 25-50 projects at once in our shop using shared resources), but the variance factor of 1) not knowing exactly how long it will take to make something because it's never been made before, and 2) different employees taking vastly different amounts of time to accomplish the same task are both shared challenges that we face along with software development.
Exactly, thank you! This article just read so bizarre to me - who thinks that venting is supposed to change your opinion about the matter? It felt like reading a headline like, "Researchers find that cardio vascular exercise doesn't help increase shoe size"

That's not what it's for. It's for getting thoughts out of your head, having the opportunity to articulate strong feelings that might otherwise be fuzzy, and for feeling heard and supported.

If changing your opinions is the goal, venting is pretty clearly not the way to get there.
Oh yeah moral issues are within a context and so on.
The Ukranian alliance is negotiating, per your own link.

That Russian negotiating position is not serious. No nation will recognize any concession inconsistent with Ukraine's sovereignty (all three demands are), nor should they. Russia has no leverage to achieve any of those goals, and the longer it goes on, the less they have.
I may not have read your post correctly but why do you think "seeking sympathy and confirmation" is mutually exclusive to a "mature response"?

There is a tendency I have seen in people in the tech industry to try to problem solve everything. Like debugging a bug. In my experience this creates unhealthy relationships. Sometimes all we can do is listen and say, "yeah that sucks, I'm sorry".
Yeah, it's confusing for sure. One day hopefully I'll have time to put a real UI on it. Right now it's assuming you buy a house with a mortgage (and property tax and yearly maintenance costs) at the same time as you retire. Put the house price to zero to eliminate all that. Also the expenses slider is before tax, so the tax rate slider influences how large your withdrawals actually are. The total withdrawal per year is displayed near the bottom.
Turkey still hasn’t closed their airspace, so you’re not the last, Bromania.

Also you guys only have MiG 21s and I think they’re looking for 29s.

VB.net still exists and to the developer, still works much like VB6 and earlier.

If you are comfortable with C#, you can do the same there, too.

To use either, when you create a new project, you'll want to choose the Windows Form option, which will drop you into a more-familiar rapid application development (RAD), which works as you describe.

Why I Left America
> Now software is eating itself.

I thought it would happen much faster. Programming isn't that much harder than Go (the game not the lang) is it? Once automated programming becomes common and useful the problem domain shifts to mapping human intention(s) to the automated machinery, or how to write tame AI that can re-write itself w/o going feral? (Personally, I don't think it's possible, and Isaac Asimov pointed out why. It's the same "strange loop" explored in a handful of sci-fi stories that have hyper-lucky characters. What, ultimately, is good?)

In re: Free software vs. charging for copies of software, I looked at the world situation when I was younger and figured that no company or even nation could pay me what I'm worth (in terms of the value that my ability with computers could potentially unlock) and the most efficient way to "work" would be to give away my output and take advantage of the "rising tide that lifts all boats". I took Bucky Fuller very seriously, and still do: we have all the technology to make a secular utopia, it's just a matter of logistics and psychology. And the computers can handle the logistics easily. I figured the psychology would handle itself once word got around, but it hasn't really. (I don't know if I was just incredibly naive or if humans are just incredibly stupid, it's a problem that still vexes me.)
That's the screen size.

The 13 mini as a whole is smaller than the SE because the SE has a top and bottom that's not screen.
I've been searching for those, but they're unobtanium even second hand. I suppose no-one wants to get rid of these monitors once they have them, because there's no replacements you can buy.
Can you delete my old HN comments?
This is a net positive for Russia. Instead they should plaster Russia with stores.
Yes. It makes sense if you assume a sexual reproduction system where one sex is the prime mover and the other applies filtering. Men need to be attracted at a distance in order to motivate them to approach strangers, hence they are more stimulated by appearance. Women need to be able to discriminate between the men who approach them, so a woman can take into account all of a man's qualities, since he's interacting with her.

I think a lot of men make the mistake of assuming that they're either attractive to women or not, when in fact you can make yourself more attractive with some effort. "Be yourself" is not an excuse to do nothing---be your best self, you'll do all right.
It is fascinating to me that Jobs did it and everyone was like like, hey, that's just what he does. At least he showers these days.

But if anyone else consciously adopts that specific affectation they are definitely trying to rip you off. It's a tell.
It happened because much of the establishment, especially in policing, were sympathetic to the goals of the 1/6 attackers. Everyone know about "Stop The Steal" in December when it was being mentioned frequently in places like Facebook. When we compare how BLM and Native pipeline protests are dealt with by the police, it's clear that they were essentially acting as accomplices.
So the solution is the import from countries where the practices are more destructive and there's less regulation to reign them in?

> If we can slash the real cost - the externality cost - by just buying it from elsewhere, we should.

I wonder what you think "externality" means?
"A Nuclear Bluff is just that, a Bluff. Putin can't win in a nuclear war and if he uses nukes anywhere, he is done for."

We don't know what he would do. A desperate dictator might just use nukes.

There's also the greatly increased risk of accidentally starting a nuclear war -- something we've come close to multiple times, even in peace time. In war time that's just short of WW3, the risk is increased exponentially.

No sane person wants to gamble with the literal fate of the world. Yet both sides are doing this by getting this close to WW3... that doesn't lend confidence to the possibility of staying out of a nuclear war if NATO "calls Putin's nuclear bluff".
Dugin has no power or influence on the Russian elite. Only clueless westerners post links to this book. Putin's imperialism is of his own biographical origins, and there is no shortage of other nationalist/pro-imperialist authors. Dugin is just one of the more intellectual ones, which isn't actually helpful in getting him popular among the Putin's "elite".
Curious about the naming here, terms like "pro" "pro max" "max", "ultra" (hopefully there's no "pro ultra" and "ultra max" in the future) is very confusing and hard to know which one is more powerful than which, or if it's a power-level relationship. Is this on purpose or it's just bad naming? Is there example of good naming for this kind of situation?
Ah, yeah, definite difference. Even when I was a child, we didn't go to the same doctor as my parents. My parents went to doctors that specialized in adults and wouldn't take patients under 18 - and it has been some time since I lived in the same town as my parents. Heck, it has been nearly a decade since I lived in the same country.

As far as I can tell, the US and Norway are similar - but heck, I'm an immigrant and haven't actually looked into this.
One man's semiotic trash is another man's humorous treasure.

Note that I'm not saying that I'm a fan of low-quality posts like this, just that I feel that the lion's share of Twitter is low-quality posts, so it seems odd to single out a copy-pasta meme as being unworthy while allowing... well, the rest of Twitter.
That is incidence, ie first diagnosis for the patient.

Other HPV related cancers like head and neck cancers tend to have a good prognosis.

HPV almost certainly doesn’t cause direct viral oncogenesis in prostate ca. It may cause chronic inflammation which promotes prostate cancer. It may also infect/accelerate already malignant cells - this is the likely mechanism in nasopharyngeal carcinoma and EBV.
I want to see a response from Optery on this.
> I am at peace with that, for we need to make space for the next generation (only adding people to planet earth would not be sustainable, as resources are scarce - imagine nobody would ever die).

Thank you for this wonderful thought! I always struggle with mortality and my place in the world. You offered me a window into the grander scheme of things, that doesn't fall back on God or you are just a small speck in the grander scheme of things.

We are all here to keep our species going and hand over the marathon stick to the next generation and then step aside.
It doesn't make much sense to me. The M1 is designed to have memory in the same package as the processor. This leads to reduced latency and increased bandwidth. Moving to off-package memory might totally destroy its performance, and there is an upper limit on how much memory can go in the package.

The M1 Ultra is already a little light on memory for its price and processing power; it would have much too little memory for a cloud host.
https://github.com/rui314/mold would suggest otherwise. Massive speedups by multithreading the linker. I think traditional linkers just aren't highly optimised.
This is a good action and if I never really watched RT or Sputnik before, now I do, just because it's banned.
I'm sure I'm not the only one.
True. But the IDE can of course help. In WebStorm I can select multiple lines of code and press Ctrl-/ to have them all turned into single-line comments if they were not, and uncomment them if they were.

Single-line comments have the benefit that it is always clear to the reader which lines are comments. Whereas if you use multi-line comments to comment a large section of code it is no longer clear when reading it whether it is indeed "inside" a comment.

And finally having both types of comments available is useful because you can multi-line-comment a section which already contains // -comments, whereas you can not multi-line comment a section which already contains multi-line comments.
It's called finance. It's a thing humans engage in, and you need smart contracts to actually enable that sort of activity without a trusted third party. Thanks to DEXes, aggregators, and protocols like ERC20 and ERC721, Ethereum's ecosystem is far less reliant on centralized actors than Bitcoin is.
That also means, don't protest. It is safer. It means that especially in the context of Russian history and present.
>2. Front-end engineers are invariably the most important and skillful, and backend engineers really aren't valuable.

As mainly a back end developer, I find this statement the opposite of reality. :) Good thing I don't post on Twitter.
NATO already has been supplying advanced man-portable missiles, artillery, intelligence, firearms/machine-guns of all kinds, communications equipment, night-vision systems, etc.

From that angle, an aircraft is only a small step upward.

It really does make a difference who is flying the plane or pulling the trigger, in both real-world capability and scope.
If anything does that not make the American people even more responsible and culpable of those war crimes since they actually have more power over their government's decisions?
During which time democracy became a dirty word and they were ready to embrace a strongman leader...

So honestly yeah I'm not seeing an amazing end state with this "let's punish the Russian people so they overthrow their government" strategy. In 1917 they did and got a bloody civil war. In 1991 they did that and had years of civil instability and an economic crisis. What makes people think in 2022 it would be better?
Cynical take: study done by a company that offers loans finds that more people need loans. Kinda self-serving.

Slightly less cynical take: I'm always a bit skeptical of how these studies define "paycheck to paycheck". I remember there was one that defined it as "do you have enough money in your checking account to cover the cost of $BAD_THING?" And one of the top responses was "no, I'd need to pull from my savings account". IMO the distinction between checking and savings is kinda arbitrary. I move all of my cash (beyond what I need for monthly expenses) into a savings account so I can get an extra $100/yr in interest. That certainly doesn't mean I'm living paycheck to paycheck.

It looks like this study broke the paycheck to paycheck group into those that are struggling with their bills and those that aren't. When you look at the breakdown it seems like all of the growth is in the group that is paycheck to paycheck but not struggling with their bills. I'm not sure how to interpret that.
Where be the Linux distro that can run on an M1 (ultra or otherwise)?

Without having to be a kernel hacker, that is.
Bloomberg brought the Supermicro hit pieces. I personally can't take them seriously anymore. Not after the second article with 0 fact checking and sad attempt at an irrelevant die shot. And their word is certainly irrelevant against one of people who are working (and succeeding) at running linux on M1.
Unless you want more or replace it.
Kudos, I take it you're focusing on your good taste in music.
Great Disturbance in the Force
Doesn’t matter which NATO country gives what to which other NATO country, it only matters where the jets are going to enter Ukraine from and we’re looking at Romania, Poland, Slovakia or Hungary.
Putting a price of $6.5 for a gallon of gas (this is how much gas in Europe normally costs €1.58/liter = $6.5/gallon) is a right thing to do.

Hopefully this would diminish consumption, reduce carbon footprint and wouldn't require purchasing extra crude. May cause a revolt though, if advertised to the main street improperly.
Nobody said that people can't tweet about any and all aspects of their lives. The point was that some followers may only be interested in one particular part. This would dramatically cut the noise from Twitter, as well as its divisiveness and general unpleasantness.

You can still tweet whatever you want, but Twitter would be more usable for many people if you could cherry pick the signal and get rid of the noise.
"As OAG Opinion No. KP-0401 makes clear, it is already against the law to subject Texas children to
a wide variety of elective procedures for gender transitioning, including reassignment surgeries that
can cause sterilization, mastectomies, removals of otherwise healthy body parts, and administration
of puberty-blocking drugs or supraphysiologic doses of testosterone or estrogen."

Where "subject" appears to be the most general form possible, as far as I can tell from context.

Even puberty blockers are on this list! You're not supporting a gender transition if you can't touch hormones at all.
Sun SPARCstation IPC: a lovely form factor and a great client machine. The matching monitor could sit on top. The whining fans were not so great.

It was quickly obsolete as CPUs got fast and too hot for that box.
Modular Cognition
As someone who used to feel similarly, I've acclimated to the touch system now. I think it's pretty brilliant – swiping up from the bottom gets you the same function.
Oil produced from other sources (i.e. traditional wells) is presumably less bad for the environment, since it isn't using huge amounts of fresh water.
Too big. Too expensive.
Friendly reminder that USB-C is a form factor, and thunderbolt is the actual transfer protocol.

Sounds like you're listing the common complaints with usb-3 over usb-c peripherals, which are not a suitable replacement for PCIe. Thunderbolt is something different, more powerful & more reliable.
I find it hilarious that you consider, "companies stopping their Russian operations due to economic sanctions since they started a literal war" and "haha Russia is canceled" are even remotely the same thing.

Like you think in our capitalist hellscape that Coca-Cola virtue signaling "we don't like Russia, amiright?" is worth the billions in revenue they're gonna miss from this?
I am that way with Face ID. Even under optimal conditions I can never get it to work more than 50-60% of the time.
Just to add up to comments explaining why it won't work. I'm from Kazakhstan, but I'm more or less indistinguishable from Russian. Russians in Kazakhstan basically consume the same media Russia citizens do. So I can't even persuade my own relatives there that it is obvious we are bad guys right not. Not some random people, but my own mother believes TV more than me. Because it is easier to believe, it is almost impossible for us (anyone probably) that we became evil. And you can't change that by spam calls, you probably make it worse. People who can accept other opinions still have access to other sources, it is not (yet) N. Korea.
We need more protests and (sadly) more sanctions, preferably against individuals. And truth, not anti-propaganda. More coverage of current situation in cities, and less 'russian ship go f* yourself'
I'm not the OP but I've had an XDR for about a month now, which replaced a 27" LG UltraFine 5K (same panel as the one used on 27" iMac for years). My issue with the XDR is the lack of built-in camera, mic, and speakers that are serviceable for zoom calls.

I don't need audiophile stuff, but it's remarkable how bad the built-in AV was on the LG UltraFine. Mic quality is bad enough that I won't inflict it on my co-workers. The camera is angled too low, resulting in the top of my head usually being cut off. And the speakers go from quiet to really loud, with no in-between.
I always take such claims with a grain of salt anyways. It usualy on one specific benchmark. I wait for better benchmarks always instead of trusting the marketing
