Out of pure curiosity, this is the comparison of that M1 Ultra Geekbench score against my setup which is VERY CLOSE to comparable: AMD 5950/3090/128gb workstation. Same version of Geekbench. What I would describe as well-thought out hardware configurations (no bling or neon, built with a vague sense of budget/performance in mind for work) and only "reasonable" stock settings (i.e. no manual overclocking, but XMP enabled, RAM chosen for Ryzen).

See: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/13330272?baseli...

I think you'd expect the M1 to outperform a bit on the multicore because it has more cores, but the comparison suggests a lot of the current benchmark score is being driven by exceptionally high scores in a handful of benchmark sub-tests.

On single-core I'd describe them as very very comparable at the moment.

There's another issue that was made apparent when I benchmarked my setup which suggests that a significant portion of people running 5950's are leaving a portion of performance on the table (i presume that's some mix of not setting things up right or not having the right mix of hardware).

I'd say this is an issue that doesn't happen with Macs, but...I'm aware that their past laptops have run really really hot (and dropped performance below their apparent specs due to insufficient cooling?), although everything I've seen shows the M1 family to be a a relatively great performer in this regard (to the point where I recommended my wife pick up the new M1 Macbook Air).
>general consensus on the forum is that Schwab, Fidelity and Vanguard are the big three to use.

E*trade is now part of Morgan Stanley. Then there's Merrill Lynch, T. Rowe Price, Ameriprise, etc. I wonder what is beyond the big three.
Moving the goalposts. Issue under discussion is "side effect risk for men under 40 is non trivial".
OP's point is that if as a result of an intervention that is perceived as too direct by Putin, Russia wipes out Ukraine completely it will be a net loss to Ukraine. If on top of that he also wipes out Poland, then the loss will be even more dire. Russia has weapons it hasn't used yet, conventional and nuclear.

We can take a gamble and decide that Putin will decide to retreat because Poland donated some planes to the Ukrainians, but how much do you believe that will happen?
I’ve changed it twice. Long overdue for a third time.
It’s still completely manageable.
So many moral arguments completely miss the point.

Whether it is good or bad is irrelevant. It reminds me of the arguments against evolution, “no, we didn’t come from that”, or “no, we can’t be turning into that”. There are awful things happening in biological evolution, and yet it proceeds despite condemnation.

Bitcoin and blockchain exist because the existing financial order is at best questionably sustainable for the next 50 years, and there must be something that replaces it. The new system only needs to be sustainable within a niche to have value, and this niche grows stronger the more it is alienated by the dominant system.

Unfortunately yes, there are managers out there who act that way and seem to equate "efficiency" with time spent occupied doing work (whether useful or not, in the end). A widget making machine that's only producing 25% of its potential most of the time is waste, in their view, and so they want it to run at 100%. But that produces excess, potentially unconsumable if there is no demand, output.

Or, if given many widget machines and noting that only one or a few are "necessary" (in theory), they retool or sell off the excess (probably not all at once, it's a little-by-little thing). Which leaves them unable to handle excess production when it's needed, or to handle when one of the machines is down for maintenance or repairs (which it will need more often, it's running at 100% so will breakdown faster and there's no time to turn it off for regular maintenance).
My guess is two reasons:

He vastly underestimated Ukrainian resistance

And

Ukrainian resistance has been supported by Western intelligence and weapons

Putin's day 1 plan was to seize most of the airfields and assassinate the president. These were attempted by trained forces and could have worked. The Ukrainians managed to stop them all. I'm sure these included cyber attacks we haven't heard about.

After that the Ukrainians have had remarkable success in targeting Russian logistics efforts.

Few people were expecting such a fierce Ukrainian resistance. That is by far Putin's biggest miscalculations. Even had things gone his way, it's clear now he'd be in for a long insurgency that he wasn't anticipating.

Putin has made many poor decisions and should have been able to overcome them by force to meet many of his objectives. But, the Ukrainians have had the intelligence and tools to amplify his mistakes into the clusterfuck we're seeing.

I'm sure Russian morale is low and there were some poor logistics, but it seems exaggerated in the news.

Putin still has most of his combat forces available and estimates I've heard are he can sustain the attack for several more weeks.
I agree with you.
I think the book is from January, 1991 so I don't think we can blame the author much as it wasn't as widely known. (I think)

I read the whole thing a while ago. To your point he wants you to weigh yourself every day and then take the weighted running average, while this works well for me when I want to diet, it would be a good way to get most people to have a disorder.

> including the high cost (including trade-off costs) of children

I honestly think part of it is like Parkinson's law, but for resources to spend on children -- Children are expensive to rich people largely because rich people spend lots on their children. (too much?) Children mostly thrive in opportunity and resources (so long as it isn't pacifying their desire to achieve for themselves).

On the tradeoffs, this is pure psychology. Generations of people who have shirked social responsibility, and maximized selfishness. "Me" generation + "me me me" generation and all that. Time for people who see society, humanity, and duty as more beneficial than getting a bunch of likes on TikTok for doing something that inconveniences others (like dancing in a crosswalk or something) .

I'm curious whether you would agree with me that the article is muddled when, for instance, it includes this portion:

-------

A hearing researcher at House Ear Institute is concerned that the loudness of new albums could possibly harm listeners' hearing, particularly that of children.[48] The Journal of General Internal Medicine has published a paper suggesting increasing loudness may be a risk factor in hearing loss.[50][51]

-------

I assume that a "psychoacoustic effect" would not harm anyone's hearing, whereas volume - i.e. the measure of energy ouput - would, right? (And I know that agreeing with this statement doesn't invalidate your main point, I'm simply curious whether you agree with me that a reduction in dynamic range doesn't seem likely to harm anyone's hearing.)

In terms of your main point, I'm not sure I agree, but I really only have my own experience to draw upon, and am quite willing to concede the point. But to me, music with less dynamic range doesn't sound "louder", it sounds "more even", or something along those lines.

One of the things my wife does that drives me nuts when watching movies is she acts like a human compressor: she keeps the remote in her hand and turns down loud parts and turns up quiet parts. If I put the volume at a level that is appropriate, where quiet dialogue is audible but the loud parts (e.g. a car chase) are loud (as the filmmaker intended!) she will exclaim, "it's too loud!"

I offer this single anecdote as evidence that perhaps music with greater dynamic range can actually be perceived as louder, depending on the circumstances?
Maybe; every chip hits a point where feeding in more power doesn’t make it go any faster.

If I was to guess, the increased cooling probably helps the Studio sustain similar boost clocks as the laptops, but for longer.

Although it’s possible these are on N4x, which might increase the attainable boost.
Uh, Varjo Aero is a clear outlier in terms of resolution and definitely does not represent the current typical VR headset experience (which in early 2022 would be around Quest 2 or Valve Index). If you went out of your way to get an expensive niche high-end headset, it struggling on a 3090 is your problem, not HL:A's.

Europeans go what? I'm thinking of all my friends and family and out of hundreds of houses I've been in I can only think of a handful that were built after 1978. I'm not sure why lead isn't a problem so much though, maybe phased out earlier? .

76% of Americans want to go down that road, based on surveys around establishing a no fly zone over Ukraine.

I do too. This is being played tactically rather than strategically. The knife of thermonuclear war will still be there in 5 years and in 50 years. If we cave to it, we lose in the long term:

- Russia will do whatever it wants, until it crosses a line where we're drawn into WWIII; or
- Other countries develop nuclear programs, if it gives a carte blanche to do anything they want

Belarus is going nuclear, thanks to our (lack of) reaction. That's just a start of what's coming.

Whether Putin launches nukes is up to Putin. It might be a bluff. It might not be. If it's not a bluff, we'll get to that point soon enough....
It's quite simple though: indirect help is a line in the sand that was already crossed. It's not about laws of physics. If Russia wanted to start a nuclear exchange because of the Javelins, they had reasons from day 1. Extra Javelins won't make them any more morally justified.

It turns out now that Javelins and other man portable missiles are doing quite a good job in this war. The Turkish Bayraktar drone too [1]. That's what they need. And intelligence, and help on the cyber side, on the economic side and on the PR side. And they are getting all of those.

And more: they just sent a bunch of helicopters to Romania to have them fixed.

The Mig thing is just an unnecessary escalation, and the benefit is quite dubious too.

The part we disagree on is how much he s capable of hiding. I believe it isn't enough.
I think when the new M1 Pro/Max based laptops came out it was deemed that much of the performance Apple was claiming was due to the media engine helping accelerate the hard stuff in FCPX (and Premiere, IIRC). So it’s really good compared to the 3080 for per watt performance in creative work, but if you aren’t transcoding and especially if you aren’t optimized for using Metal, it’s not as great (but still good, 1050 ish performance with no fan is magical).

> It took less than 6month to have a faster amd / intel CPU than the m1 back then, Apple charts are showing performance / watt which for a desktop PC is kind of irrelevant. In pure speed amd / intel are faster or will be very soon.

Perf/Watt is very relevant. Electricity costs money and you also want a cool room.
Every god damn child has an iPad already to keep them entertained and the hardware is plenty good enough. Going one step further in the age ranges to get big game revenue like the switch will help them capture more.

Apple and the gaming industry is a long and complicated relationship, that is I think best surfaced by the Epic vs Apple trial.

Apple makes a huge part of its revenue from mobile gaming, while ferociously antagonizing the game makers and the main players of the industry (still remember their beef with Nvidia for instance) which makes it a bad bet to embrance Apple platform outside of the most dominant ones.
> Is the end game of these sanctions to start another Cold War or not?

End game as in intent, or end game as in result?

The intent is stopping the war in Ukraine. The result remains to be seen.
This is true for every army (served in Israeli army). Everyone gets the shots. No exceptions. If you have a medical reason not to then you can be in the disabled units in the backoffice.

But they didn’t make it with the top of the line camera.

They should make an iPhone 5 sized iPhone 13 pro and sell it for $1500 and it will sell but, but unfortunately it will suffer from battery life issues so is impossible. The advantage of larger phones is the larger batteries which allows Apple to make slim phones that last all day
I'm not absolving anyone. It is a fucked situation.

The hypocrisy of people saying they "should have snuffed them out like cockroaches" after 50 years of US atrocities is just astounding.

Russia is a bully, but the US is 10x worse. Ukraine is the looser here.

The US intentionally played them like a pawn and use their lives to get more leverage against Russia.

It’s not new. It’s the difference between a proxy war and an actual war.

Rome did it with Germanic tribes, China did with step tribes. You help the little guy fight the big guy to sap them, but avoid going head to head. When they failed at this, they’d get run over.

Direct help is a generally understood act of war. We’re tip toeing that line right now with what we’re already doing. And we should be afraid because there isn’t a quorum calling the shots in Russia right now. It’s essentially 1 man’s mood and folks trying to talk him down.
Yeah, I was really hoping this would take M.2 sticks.
This phone includes many user-hostile design choices. These show that Apple continues to put profit over UX and the environment. :(

- Glass on the back

- Missing no lip to protect the camera and screen when the phone is dropped or placed on on a surface with abrasive particles. Even worse, the camera and screen actually protrude from the case, increasing the chance of damage.

- The edges are not shock-absorbing

- The finish is slippery
> Are you arguing that there is no a priori reason to prefer democracy?

I suggest these definitions, but am open to revisions.

def: a government is the smallest set of people with a (almost) monopoly of force in a particular geographic region.

def: democracy is a government where the set size is at least 10% of the total number of people occupying the geographic region.

def: autocracy is government where the set size is one.

Presently, it is not clear to me how to make a persuasive and coherent a priori argument in favor of democracy. I believe you have a nomination for such an argument, please share.
I wonder if this effect is behind why people seem so miserable nowadays. We spend all our time 100% efficiently engaging our eyes and brains with our phones and apps, and meanwhile all the other things in life just queue up behind reading just one more article.

On that note, I am stepping away from my computer!

Play Half-Life in the Browser
Or does any popular ML libraries support it ?
I've built something akin to this, but with the idea of applications distributing API`s where the databases are also torrented but working behind the api's, so that developers can build basically anything.

In my case i've implemented a new "browser" based on Chrome that allows this to work, without having to resort to browser-only infrastructure (for instance applications can dodge Javascript and also call RPC api's from other applications directly).

The applications and the applications data are distributed over torrent and managed to work together in the same environment as a flock where one app can consume its own apis and also the api's from others.

service Search {
rpc doQuery(string query) => (array<string> result) // the access to the sqlite db from torrents is encapsulated here
}

The beauty of this design is that it can also be re-scheduled and have the same request routed to other peers

> I read K&R C cover to cover, then sat to write a toy program and didn't even know how to start.

This is interesting, because K&R's strongest point is its exercises. I'd almost call it not worth reading if you aren't going to do them, but if you did the exercises (which get deep quickly) and came out unable to write a program that's a bit baffling.
It's because they skew towards being children more. Apple already has a large children market via the iPad. "Serious games" on daddy's macbook pro and their iPads & apple TVs would further that stronghold. Games are their biggest money maker on the app store as it is, a real serious gaming department with 100-200 employees will pay for itself multiple times over. Apple arcade is another example. Apple Game Studios with first party games like nintendo would probably do better than Apple TV+ does today. They're alllllmost there.
1) How is Ukraine (inspiring) able to fight Russia - superpower and hangon for this long?

A: “In a fight between a bear and an alligator, it is the terrain which determines who wins.” – Jim Barksdale

Parable explained: "Barksdale: Well, in the animal world, a bear is not going to whip an alligator in water. And an alligator isn’t going to whip a bear on dry land. So, it’s not just the fighter, it’s the terrain that they’re on..." https://hbr.org/2014/06/dont-play-with-dead-snakes-and-other...

Russia is struggling, especially in the north, with adverse terrain. See also "Feeding the Bear: A Closer Look at Russian Army Logistics" [1]

2) How are they able to predict and shoot down Russian jets with precision?

Ukraine started the war with some of the best antiaircraft missiles and some of the best fighter jets Russia produced. That has been augmented by both Russian-made MANPADS (Strela [2]) and US-made MANPADS (Stingers [3]). The aircraft have to fly low because they don't have (enough / many / any?) precision guided bombs so they have to fly low in order to drop bombs with any accuracy. That makes them vulnerable to MANPADS. There might also be some cuing hints coming from the AWACS planes orbiting in Poland.
