I really enjoy the US talking about international law and violations. Remember when Obama said about himself "I'm very good at killing"? People are pulled by the nose by media - nobody shed a tear for the civilian Yemenis killed by US drones, or for the Libyans, Iraqis, and Syrians - maybe because they were not white as I really don't have any other explanation! Now, the US media talks about "slaughtering Ukrainians". The magnitude of death is the Middle East was in the millions! You can't compare these at all! Yet, one leads to crazy sanction and global anger and the other was like "Whatever! They probably deserve it!" People talk about "the regime" in Russia, but conveniently ignore the actual regimes in allies such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, etc. Didn't the Saudi prince slaughter, cut in pieces, and dissolve in acid recently a US journalist in Turkey? Of course, they did, and what was our response: "It's okay as we don't get postal on allies!" What's happening in Ukraine is terrible, but America shares the guilt as well! And I don't hear: "Oh, I messed up!" from Biden, who thought-out his career has been planning this!
Sure, but no-one was actually criticizing GP for not doing enough, or doing the wrong thing.
Personally it's still too much of a hassle dealing with HiDPI on Windows, especially if you mix with regular DPI displays. They also seem like overkill. I don't know about you but 1440p at 27" is the perfect DPI for me
Also M1 Ultra's UMA architecture means almost 128G VRAM for GPU.

It would be interesting to see how it performed in VRAM intensive task compare to RTX 3090.
It can't, but if you use Linux and binfmt_misc, you can set it up so that x86 Windows apps run seamlessly on ARM.
To play devil’s advocate, if you could share the name of any actual news sources you deem credible and then give me a minimum number of objectively verifiable examples of incorrect or misinformation you would need to see from them in order to discredit them as an actual news source, I would gladly take up the challenge. Genuine offer.

My point is not to claim that disreputable sources should be treated as legitimate news. Instead it is to point out that some of the most credible news media have been caught spreading fake news to manipulate public opinion when it was politically convenient.

Historically this has happened most often in the run up to or the early stages of war.

It might have just been my headphones but mine would constantly disconnect on the 3.5mm side.
Marginally smaller. I own(ed) both.

It’s not comparable to an iPhone 5 at all.

There’s millimetres in the difference between a 6 and a 12 mini- I provided proof in my comment. It’s absolutely marginal.
> TB4 has the same bandwidth as TB3 so you wouldn't be able to daisy chain 5k monitors anyway.

So this each Studio Display will require a direct connection to the laptop/desktop in order to work?

That's definitely not great.
I know it may sound strange if you are used to modern consumer electronics, but in order to do anything with those "dumb" serial cables you definitely needed protocols. They never "just worked", it was up to the user to properly set up them up and the level of difficulty depended on the type of device. A lot of times this was non-trivial.

For mouse, the most common choices were Microsoft vs Logitech, and later there were the "scroll wheel" variants. Less common drivers also existed, especially for touch screen devices. Windows had the device discovery wizard which would try to discover the mouse by sending data specific for each mouse type and seeing if right response came back, but it only worked for the common protocols.

For networking, the most common choices were SLIP and PPP. If you were doing dial-up, you also had a modem driver to worry about, as well as a way to switch to "internet mode" (nether SLIP nor PPP had a way to ask for username/password for example.. so there was generally a "script" of some sort to authenticate)

For serial terminals, the basic text was easy, as long as you get your serial port speed and flow control right. But the moment you want something slightly advanced, like clearing the screen or having TUI (text-based user interface), you had to make sure you got terminal type (protocol) correct. Nowadays, it's most likely would be VT102, but in the past I have seen VT52 and Kermit. There were also BS key setting and codepage which needed to be set up separately in order for things to work.

For all other devices, there were basically no hope, unless you had a manufacturer-provided driver. For example, I own a serial printer, and it does not support sending any complex data back to the computer at all, all there is is a single "error" line. The PC has no chance to auto-detect the device at all. (Funny effect of this: if I were to connect it to the old Windows PC and run device discovery, it'd print some junk as Windows tries to probe it as mouse, modem etc.. )

Now some time after, PS/2 came out, and it had standard protocols for mice and keyboards -- which made it widely popular, as there was no need for manual configuration.

And finally when USB appeared, it supported many more "device classes", including things like network cards, video cameras, and joysticks; and other devices at least had a standard protocol to announce their type (VID:PID pair), so that OS could automatically pull up the right network driver.
it has a RTX 3090 level GPU, how is Nvidia that bad? at 200watts less? that's insane... why does Apple not just produce discrete GPU with 200watts more power and just straight up destroy the GPU market?
I found that earplugs + headphones with brown/grey noise absolutely made the universe go away. I don't use it now because my work has changed and I work in a single-person office, but I found this super effective at reducing distractions.
Likes and reshares are often consumed via feed like interfaces though?

I get it definitely happens with folks texting friends links or sharing it via email, but the friction with those is higher and it gives time for folks to think more than the feed interface.

It’s highly efficient psychological pressure/engagement and maximizing the focus towards the engaging content that is the real problem IMO. It makes something that someone could think about (potentially) and choose to stop into something they become hyper engaged with constantly and can’t turn off.
Thanks for letting me know, I'm not sure why the numbers for the one I happened to click on are so far above the norm but I've now made an edit with a screenshot of more average numbers.
It has to find the rabbit hole first. So far as I understand, Wolfram theory hasn't yet been testable against any experimental data. So it's 100 years behind quantum theory. And in the final analysis, even if it achieves the same exquisite accuracy as quantum theory, will it do any better with the problem that really bugs people, which is the ability to tell us what we're really made of? That's the problem stated at the beginning of the article:

>>> But I’m still waiting for a straight answer as to what the structure of the atoms that make up my body is.
Agree, I too have seen the lack of unification more often then not, because business projects are always local. This client wants feature Y, why build it for all clients right now if only one client wants it, I only want to pay for getting the feature out to the client as cheaply and quickly as possible. And now you've got a single use feature. Then next client comes over, and you can't reuse the feature, so you build it again in a slightly different way by different people, maybe even in a different team, rince and repeat. I see that all the time. And that's just one example of how people get their velocity down to a crawl over time. The only solution then is to hire more and more engineers until you're a huge engineering department maintaining a single product.

Of course, this is such a rampant problem in the software industry that a whole market for reusable standard generic solutions was created. That's why we got the cloud, and the array of SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, etc. And don't forget the entire open source is about standards, being able to reuse existing components and frameworks.

What I think the article doesn't mention is that unifying and creating a standard solution is a harder task then creating custom solutions one after the other for each use case/local context. In practice I've seen people try and fail, but often it's not the person with most experience trying, or the business isn't truly willing to put in the effort to succeed, both of these can sabotage things. And again, because it is hard, you have to be willing to fail the first time, but use those learning to try again, and again, until you crack it. And doing that is often worth it long term, cause when you crack it the efficiency and scale will go through the roof, if your business is smart, you might even realize what you have is more valuable than your current business, and pivot to being a SaaS vendor haha. Or you can keep it secret as a competitive advantage.

Gzochi: Scalable middleware for MMOs for developing games in GNU Guile
As former quantum physicist, I find it little troubling to read "quantum theory has reached a dead end" in specific reference to the interpretation of quantum mechanics. Most quantum physicists could not care less about how quantum mechanics is interpreted when it makes highly accurate quantitative predictions, and there are still plenty of interesting open problems for quantum theory (e.g., related to the practical design of algorithms and hardware for quantum computers).

This article also misses what is likely the leading interpretation of quantum mechanics by actual quantum physicists, namely that the measurment problem is solved by decoherence (the quantitative theory of how classical states emerge from quantum states):

> because approaches like this often have virtually no explanatory power.

the famous feynman have produced a response to this train of thought - usually from the laymen - where they demand an "explanatory theory". The answer is usually "don't know"; why gravity work the way it does? - don't know, but we can calculate orbits to great precision; why does photons or electrons travel the way it does? - don't know, but we can make very precise predictions via Quantum Electrodynamics theory.

The laymen demands an explanatory theory, because there's an underlying assumption they don't even verbalize - that such an explanatory theory can be understood _without the maths_, that the principles of the laws of physics operate on basic, understandable lego pieces. What is somewhat unconceivable is that the explanation _is_ the maths. To whit, we don't even have an explanation for the idea of inertia! We just observe it, and measure it (as mass). There's no explanatory theory.
Whether I think I think that is immaterial to deescalating this war. Pithy statements aside.

One of McDonalds main suppliers (intentionally being vague) was in the process of setting up the local supply chain (several factories and attached warehousing, admin, shipping, etc.)

I didn't say that, you are the only one here talking about a fight and people who need stuff so I think I'll leave you to it as you seem to be the expert. As I said I was not even thinking about issues that affect me at the workplace when I wrote that, I was more thinking about like who has to be president of what country or whatever Facebook is doing or not doing.
The M1 Ultra has a significant memory bandwidth and latency advantage due to the type of memory used and the way the memory is connected. They use the same memory for the CPU and GPU, so the memory interface was optimized more like a GPU and the CPU benefits in a few memory-constrained benchmarks (machine learning, AES-XT streaming)

The flip side is that you're limited to 128GB combined memory for the CPU and GPU on the M1 Ultra, whereas a comparable Threadripper Pro system will take up to 16 times as much (2TB) and you can upgrade it whenever you feel like.

It will be interesting to see how much RAM Apple offers on the upcoming M1 Mac Pro parts.
Not that hard to look it up

True, yes, it will be sorted out if it is unauthorized, but if it is like in 1000 or around, most of the major banks will simply overdraft of active, and leave the customer to notice, find & call bank to sort it out. In real case of etsy, where etsy was pushing/paying money to sellers through direct deposit (& employers too), they mistakenly emptied accounts, and most of the accounts went into over draft, I believe a couple years ago.

Most of the employers', companies' direct deposit forms/agreements say they can pull money back they paid by mistake.

In contrast in India, now banks ask cheque holders to login into net banking and submit the cheque info if they write a cheque over certain big amount. One leaf of cheque allows only one withdrawal, when presented in original, and if signature matches exactly, and if account has sufficient money; whereas in US, routinely companies convert paper cheque to electronic payments.
You have to reconsider who is the bully given the number of countries invaded, governments toppled, and civilians killed by the US in the last 30 years.

The US takes the cake in all categories, but of course we aren't a bully, all the people we kill were the bullies. We are the strongest so we define who is a bully or not.

>We should have snuffed them out like cockroaches. Instead we let them live. To our detriment.

yeah, you really sound like the good guy here
I think this kind of mentality can only be properly appreciated when you've attempted it for yourself. It's a lot of work, but I think that reclaiming the ability to better regulate your focus/attention is absolutely worth it.

It's honestly like quitting your drug of choice (e.g. even just coffee or alcohol) and observing the affect it has on you after using it again for a long time. Only in this case, there is no "upside" to these (forced) capitulations.

Advertising has become so entrenched that it acts as if it has absolute right to your hijack your attention, and this landscape respects no boundaries. Apple in particular drives me nuts doing the same thing: pitching their arcade or wifi hot-spot partnerships with absolutely no opt-out mechanism.
Why miniDP? Just use the DisplayPort side channel that already exists in USB-C connectors; you can buy inexpensive USB-C-to-DP cables.
Read my first sentence. I agree he can be reassigned. I am not arguing the military having the right to I belonged to a volunteer military boys club in my pre-teens, and I went to military school for four years looking for a scholarship, since I grew up below the poverty line. I did what was told, believe me. That was many years ago with George Washington. These vaccines do not have any long-term safety data; they cannot, since they are too new. The current president ignored natural immunity, while I think good Ol' George wouldn't have especially after +140m Americans have it for sure if not more. I do hope and pray it is safe in the long run, since my older children were left with little choice by their respective universities. And that was after they both got COVID from me. My daughter worked on the front lines as an EMT and an urgent care provider during the whole start of the pandemic. Don't they allow all sorts of accommodation for gender identity and sexual reassignment? Certainly not the military of years ago, so maybe this is good change unless you think the days of good Ol' George were easy living.

Ya, in fact, I see very interesting formations all the time. One morning while making my coffee I looked out and saw what looked like a perfect flying saucer docked to the peak of the mountain. I snapped a photo and texted it to my BFF. She was cracking up about it. We thought for sure we could get it on that Ancient Aliens program for sure.
Geekbench scores came out, The Epyc 7443p scored 27461, M1 Ultra scored 24055 on multi-core. Geekbench uses ARM-native for Mac M1 iirc.
Cheap laptops, maybe. I had a Dell 15" that did 1920x1200 in 2004. (And gawd that was an amazing computer)
Somehow the "Final remarks" section reminded me of the more paranoid "wheels within wheels" Frank Herbert fiction.

> if Russia fully pull out tomorrow, what do they get back and when

Everything and immediately, is generally how it works. That's the climbdown. I don't get the pearl-clutching about being mean to a bully. And it's not like China has stopped trading with them. China as a trading partner is a hell of a long way from "nothing left to lose."

Anyway judging by their performance in Ukraine, I'm not convinced they have enough shit left in them to reach a fan. Who's to say their nukes work any better than their air force?

The sanctions following Russia’s invasion of Crimea were not sufficient to deter Putin from attacking Ukraine. Russia calculated the pros/cons, and determined that the west would not impose significant sanctions, reducing the potential costs. The west should cut off all oil/gas from Russia, and sanction anyone who purchases oil/gas from Russia.
> It seems I have been misinformed about Intel.

Intel's latest desktop parts are fantastic. They're the undisputed performance champions, the best value for gaming and consumer CPUs, and AMD has yet to catch up. The mid-level parts are even relatively power efficient (for desktop parts).

The pro-AMD anti-Intel commentary on the internet got completely out of control for a while. Intel is still very good at what they do, despite a few stumbles in recent history. It's just not fashionable to say good things about Intel right now.
Optery isn't designed for this. There are probably some "reputation management" companies out there that handle this situation. I've heard they can be in the $1,000/mo range in cost, but I don't know for sure as that's not our expertise. If you have an official government document or statement that provides evidence of the expungement / seal, I'd recommend contacting the sites directly over email and sending them the evidence, and I would expect that most of them would remove the information without too much trouble.

That all makes sense and is a thoughtful response, thanks.

Now, I had the impression that the lack of such laws before was effectively at the whim of Putin in practice. Like, the moment he felt such more-totalitarian laws were in his interest, he could have them. There's no effective checks-and-balances that would stop him. So, press freedoms and so on were at his pleasure so to speak, even though I acknowledge that they are real to a degree.

But consider https://www.thisamericanlife.org/763/the-other-mr-president for example. This is mostly old stories with minor updated intro.

> Disinformation and propaganda works differently in Putin’s Russia than it did during the Soviet Union. Instead of tamping down the opposition, the Russian government works to control the opposition.

Focus on Vladislav Surkov

> instead of tamping down the opposition like the old days, Surkov built a new system where there was opposition, but he dictated what the opposition stood for. You do not allow political parties to create their own agendas. You just write these agendas for them. … He also decided that he cannot allow any grassroot activities which would not be vetted by Kremlin. So he decided that he will create also youth movements and write agenda for them. … In 2004, Vladimir Putin decided that governors shouldn't be elected anymore. They should be appointed by him. It's a long story. But at first, every other political party besides Putin's was against the idea, genuinely against it. But then Surkov manipulated them over to his side. It helped that he controlled their funding and the number of seats they got in the Duma.… And then the parties went through this whole drawn-out public drama, which had all the trappings of democracy. The bill was submitted. There were arguments for and against it, protests around the country. People announce they've changed their minds. There were several votes. And finally, after three months, it passes. All of this, Vasily says, was scripted by Surkov's people.

So I don't independently know this to be true, but this looks to me like effective pseudo- totalitarianism-light. A government that finds they can have power by avoiding looking or acting totalitarian but which reliably can make the situation be whatever they want it to be. I don't know what to call this, but it's not the opposite of totalitarian, it's not non-totalitarian. And it seems like it can just switch to regular totalitarianism if those in power so choose it.

I can't speak to Lightning, since other than my macbook we're a non-apple household, but USB-C has been a game-changer as far as cable management in our house. Between chargers that negotiate the right amount of charging, and having cables that work on all of the laptops/chromebooks/phones, its orders of magnitude better than micro-usb was. (The only problem I know of is that fast-charging depends on your cords.)

I'd much rather have a less-optimal phone charging cord + port (usb-c) that lets me use any of my five accessible chargers than have to sit down and recognize which cord works with which device, or negotiate with my wife or kids over the (fewer) phone-only cords. :)
The Texas grid failure was a product of under-regulation, not use of renewables. Responsible management requires back-up generation capacity that works when needed. What failed in Texas was that the (gas-fired) back-ups were not mandated to work when cold, and so didn't.
