> the stance that everything is political

Which is itself a political stance. It’s not a universal truth but a very narrow political ideology. Never mind that “political” is not a well-defined thing to begin with.

If we can’t agree to neutral territory then one of the sides is going to have to win. Because you can’t bully your way to victory.

We need more meetings of the mind and fewer meetings of unfalsifiable rhetoric. Fewer crusaders and more peacemakers.
For people with “stable” life with kids and all that adult stuff - do you feel having a house give you that guarantee of safety net? I have thought along the lines of the author and many time felt the urge of exactly doing that especially since I am priced out of the real estate in the areas I live or want to live anyway. Rent forever basically and live as a world citizen. But then I think how terrible life must be to have to move when you are 59 and still looking for a place to rent or even worse have to force your kids abandon their friends so frequently in their childhood days.

Yay! And so has Pepsi and Starbucks and Ima bet that this was coordinated among them.

For the first time in my life I got off my butt and wrote a whole email to their customer service address indicating my disgust and threw in the 'boycott' keywords.

I honestly think that they will 'measure the anger' and that 'every lazy email' counts kind of things.

None of this is important for the Russian economy (a bit but not much) - this is a little signal to the population - you don't get your 'Iron Man' and 'Big Mac' while you invade countries. The nominal idea of isolation is something that will impact a huge portion of the population and they may 'feel' it more than for example inflation, which can be explained away.

There was an interview about a teen girl pissed off because 'she can't upgrade her iPhone' - it seems pedantic in a time of war, but most people are concerned about those things. 'Pissing off teenagers' is a good way to remind them of what's up, even if it might have some negative effects, for the most part, it's constraining.

> The winner of all of this? China, with cheap russian gas (that russia will be forced to sell them, because they have noone else to sell it to) and more products/gardgets/stuff sold, with eu/usa imports stopped.

This is true, and it's why sanctions are dumb. Another example is Belarus. My understanding is for years they played the West against Russia, and their authoritarian government retained some independence as a result. Then the West slapped sanctions on them, which pushed them into the suffocating arms of Putin, and it became a staging area and accomplice to Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

The West probably needs some more realpolitik. Not the fuck your friends and bow down to your enemies kind that seems to be a bit in vogue, but the kind where you admit distasteful allies into your alliances against your stronger adversaries.

The real losers are the Ukrainians who are getting their country conquered by invaders.
Given how low the power consumption is for the power you get, I wonder if we'll see a new push for Mac servers. In an age where reducing power consumption in the datacenter is an advantage, it seems like it would make a lot of sense.

The 3090 also can do fp16 and the M1 series only supports fp32, so the M1 series of chips basically needs more RAM for the same batch sizes. So it isn't an Oranges to Oranges comparison.

Back when that M1 MAX vs 3090 blog post was released, I ran those same tests on the M1 Pro (16GB), Google Colab Pro, and free GPUs (RTX4000, RTX5000) on the Paperspace Pro plan.

To make a long story short, I don't think buying any M1 chip make senses if your primary purpose is Deep Learning. If you are just learning or playing around with DL, Colab Pro and the M1 Max provide similar performance. But Colab Pro is ~$10/month, and upgrading any laptop to M1-Max is at least $600.

The "free" RTX5000 on Paperspace Pro (~$8 month) is much faster (especially with fp16 and XLA) than M1 Max and Colab Pro, albeit the RTX5000 isn't always available. The free RTX4000 is also a faster than M1 Max, albeit you need to use smaller batch sizes due to 8GB of VRAM.

If you assume that M1-Ultra doubles the performance of M1-Max in similar fashion to how the M1-Max seems to double the gpu performance of the M1-Pro, it still doesn't make sense from a cost perspective. If you are a serious DL practitioner, putting that money towards cloud resources or a 3090 makes a lot more sense than buying the M1-Ultra.
They are accessible to third party developers, only they have to use CoreML.
Having a "safe" area to hold the phone by and be guaranteed it won't interact with anything is also nice. Yes, in my experience the touch rejection at the bottom for the new borderless iPhones is very good, but it's still a touch surface that under the right conditions could do something unexpected (and never underestimate non-technical users to break something you thought was bulletproof).

>comes from environmentally destructive practices, which is a damn good reason to prefer imports.

I'm sure Russia, Venezuela, Iran, Saudi, etc. really care about the environment and their reports about environment sustainability* are totally true.

The average oil producer is a dictatorship, and I suspect the impact of lack of transparency is more important than the drilling method - they have every motivation to cut corners, while American oil is openly regulated. So from the global perspective I doubt American production is more polluting.

* If they even have any.
A non-partisan source would be more convincing.

A spot check shows item 15 in the list, published 2014, is based on work from 2011-12 and the abstract concludes with:

> This study provides a baseline of water-quality conditions in the Monongahela River Basin in West Virginia during the early phases of development of the Marcellus Shale gas field. Although not all inclusive, the results of this study provide a set of reliable water-quality data against which future data sets can be compared and the effects of shale-gas development may be determined.

That is to say, this is a baseline measurement from the start of exploration, not a demonstration that fracking goes not contaminate groundwater.

===

The MIT report listed as item 26 on the list does say the process is mostly safe, which I respect, but also page 39 lists counts of incidents over a four or five year period, including 20 incidents of "groundwater contamination by natural gas or drilling fluid". So it's not like problems do not happen.
I'd happily pay $3k-$4k if they simply glued two 27'' Studio displays together, effectively making it a 32:9 49'' ultrawide. Come on, Apple.
For any applications people use to justify buying a more than one socket machine needs this.

Eg simulation softwares often used in the industry (but the one I’ve on top of my head is Windows only.)

Anyway, the point the make is this: if you claim doubling performance, but only the selected few softwares as you observed would be optimized to take advantage of this extra performance, then this is mostly useless to the average consumer. So their point is made exactly with your observation in mind, that all your softwares is benefiting from it.

But actually their statement is obviously wrong for people in the business—this is still NUMA and your software should be NUMA aware to be really squeezing the last bit of performance. It just degrades more gracefully to non optimized code.

Isn't this what a dock is for? Are you treating your monitor itself as the dock? I still don't see why the monitor itself needs USB-C support.

That type of repression isn’t possible in Russia. It requires a cult and people who haven’t heard of the free world for a generation.

I went to high school with George Hotz. He was nothing if not an iconoclast even back then, someone who refused to do anything he didn't really feel had any value. I remember one year we had a combined English and History class assignment that was meant to introduce us to the kind of research papers that academics in the humanities and social scientists write in higher ed. We were meant to read widely and conduct research over the course of many months and turn in a well cited paper between ten and fifteen pages in length. Instead, George decided to loudly dictate his entire paper in the engineering class we had the period before the assignment was due, basically just riffing on Harry Potter and LOTR, to the amusement of everyone in the computer lab. He then converted the entire Word doc into Zapf Dingbats and submitted it with a printed out decoder mapping the symbols to their English letter equivalent, like some puzzle on the back of a cereal box. Dunno what he received as a grade, though I do know the assignment counted for a considerable piece of our overall grade for both those subjects that semester.

Currently the cancel culture is being associated as some kind of PC culture outcome but it originated way before. The push back or critisim against it seems to be only happening now.

Why do you think this is not already the case? Just curious, because it seems like many people in my birth province of Alberta aren't aware that we already have these pipelines, and think that people here in Ontario and in Quebec are burning Saudi oil.

Line 9 runs practically right behind my house, and since it was reversed some years ago it feeds facilities in Ontario (and Quebec) with Alberta oil. Line 5 runs under the great lakes, all the way from western Canada to refineries in Sarnia (and is currently under threat from Mich. governor, but that's a separate topic)

90ish percent of Ontario's oil consumption is domestic oil depending on time of year and so on. The remainder is mostly from the US. Small % from middle east.

Oil from Alberta makes it all the way to refineries near Montreal. Last I looked 70% of Quebec's oil is domestic origin.

Politicians in Alberta have become masters of ignoring this key fact in their rabble rousing.

Could capacity be increased? Maybe. Is it strictly necessary? I don't know. Should we be reducing consumption anyways? Yes.

See map here, on Enbridge's website, zoom in to Ontario:

https://www.enbridge.com/reports/2021-liquids-pipelines-cust...

Now, the Atlantic provinces, that's another story. But a much smaller market.
Nice try. Other than the government mandating this price which is just another tax the operators have no reasons to suddenly charge this much.

Besides you either have loads of money and do not give a hoot or you just live close to work.
Cynical me thinks that part of the reasons small phones died out is because you can't fit as many ads on those screens.

I actually forgot that that monitor configuration existed. It looks nice, although I assume you would still be running at the same UI scaling as a 1440p monitor, and the higher pixel density compared to a 34" ultrawide 1440p display (around 25% higher) means you put the monitor closer to your eyes. So unless you're doing non-integer scaling (which I want to avoid if at all possible), you get a lot more real estate than the 1440p display, but not 2x density. Or you could do 2x scaling, but then you've just got the real estate of an ultrawide 1080p display. Personally I have plenty of real estate with 3440x1440, and what I'm really interested in is jumping to 2x scaling.
>Humanity either needs to "agree to disagree" on wide swaths of things we care a whole bunch about (abortion, firearms, lgbtq, etc) or we need to go back to not discussing those things in public or polite company.

The original American Experiment allowed this sort of thing. Big Important Nationwide things happened at the federal level; everything else was done by the States. It's a pretty good idea.

All social media suffers from the "talking to nobody/talking to everybody" aspect. A post on a social media site is really just you talking to yourself out loud. But it's a public place, and therefore everybody can hear you. So they talk out loud to themselves, but at you.

If this sounds like a gaggle of homeless people shouting at each other about everything and nothing, that's because it is exactly that, only with a $25B market cap and a P/E ratio that looks more like the onset of hypertension.
This is more of a general comment on the subject, but I don't agree with the emphasis on the Internet's role in American political polarization. The Internet definitely has exacerbated the problem, but I think the writing was on the wall in the mid-nineties (i.e., before most Americans had access), when Newt Gingrich got to practice this style of politics as Speaker of the House.
Seems to me it could work just the way it does now: turn a blind eye to anyone on the "approved" list. Cops being on the take would be fine as long as they are doing favors for higher-ups. If they stop doing favors for higher-ups or start criticizing, bingo: no more on-the-take transactions for you.

Just because a system records citizens' transactions doesn't mean it has to record everyone's transactions, right?

Say what you want about Apple, and if it’s negative, there’s a good chance I’ll go along with you. But I just can’t fault their displays. I use the massive pro XDR display from a couple of years ago, and the iMac from last year. For anyone working with text or web design all day, they are, as far as I can tell, in a class by themselves. On a day-to-day basis I find the Apple hardware a huge pleasure to use.

Most US cities need a small critical mass only to kickstart good [amazing!? okay, passable] public transport.

Urbanization is still in full force, cities are growing. (Even if COVID put a dip in the graph.)

Sure, the number one problem is density, but the US is ridiculously rich enough to support enough buses doing the rounds.

Agriculture is not causing congestion. (The rare combine on the rural road leading a queue is the exception.)

Construction is also a small part of the overall traffic. (Especially with more and more prefab happening around the world.)

Manufacturing, sure, production lines need operators, engineers, etc. Yet at the same time (speaking from experience) about half of the staff could do remote.

> So even if every single person that can work remotely does so, still expect big cities with transportation issues.

No questions there, but as I said a few sentences back, the peak is the problem. The upkeep (maintenance costs) for a transit network that can serve X number of people all commuting at the same time (in the same direction) is basically double than a network for half (or ~80%) of that demand.

Real world Haskell code isn't the codegolf you are implying.

In fact, I think real world Haskell devs overcorrect and make code too verbose.

Also, "brevity is not a virtue in programming languages" is something I disagree with.

Walls of verbose code are just so damn mentally taxing. Especially hen you finish reading and saybto yourself "all that code just to do X?".

I wish they would just make a normal display. I’m currently using a 27” 1440p display which has some nice features, USB power delivery for single-cable video/charging/data, and really excellent colour accuracy, but the pixel density is just garbage compared to my MacBook. Using them both at the same time is jarring (especially since macOS dropped subpixel antialiasing. Text looks noticeably less blocky when hooked up to a Windows machine).

I don’t need a monitor with an embedded iPhone CPU and six speakers, I just need the panel out of an old 27” iMac that doesn’t cost more than the damned computer driving it. I can’t even get an LG UltraFine anymore, they were discontinued outside of the US ages ago.
