It seems like they read a lot of politics into a fairly simple issue. As brands go on, they try to simplify and occupy more space. I would be shocked if properties didn't see being able to simplify and maintain the brand as being a huge win.
There are 19 free parameters in the Standard Model. These include such values as the mass of various particles (electron, muon, tau, six quarks, Higgs), Higgs vacuum expectation value, the strength of several interactions, and the mixing angles and phases for certain interactions.

You can rearrange some of the parameters so that they're not free, and redefine each of these in terms of some other related parameter — your choices here are pretty arbitrary; these values being chosen as the 'free' ones does not represent some fundamental truth.

We do not have some underling deeper theory that indicates why these numbers are the way they are. Why is the electron mass ~511 kEv while the up quark is 2.2 mEv? Why not 1.9 mEv? Why not 2.3 mEv? The Standard Model doesn't generally explain it, nor does it even really intend to explain it, just to describe it.

> compared to M1 Ultra's L1: 128 KB instruction, 64 KB data, L2: 4 MB

That doesn't quite match up with what we know about the two M1 Max chips that make up the Ultra.

Here are the resources per M1 Max, so multiply by two.

>On the core and L2 side of things, there haven’t been any changes and we consequently don’t see much alterations in terms of the results – it’s still a 3.2GHz peak core with 128KB of L1D at 3 cycles load-load latencies, [192k L1 instruction cache], and a 12MB L2 cache.

Where things are quite different is when we enter the system cache, instead of 8MB, on the M1 Max it’s now 48MB large

But still i would argue that price control do more harm than good.
I think North Korea is a materially different situation though. They are three generations deep into dictatorial/dynastic rule.

The Kim family managed to keep one generation sufficiently oppressed that they could raise all the children to believe leader to be a god. Then they had a sufficiently clear line of succession (ie it’s a dynasty) that they could continue to build upon the foundation laid in that first generation rather than engage in power struggles.

I think the sanctions and isolation then came later.

Could Putin pull that out of the hat? It doesn’t seem likely to me in this day and age.

I think North Korea is very much an outlier and has a unique set of circumstances.
Apple has said they could build iPhones in the US, but the cost would be $7 more per iPhone (when they studied it years ago).
Yeah, painting Putin to a losing corner will just mean possible more destruction including nukes, he must have a face-saving out, because kicking him and expecting him to retreat with his tail between his legs before he's exhausted all options is unrealistic. IMO that's why NATO doesn't want to get involved (yet), the USA can bomb Putin's forces out of Ukraine, but it'd be too embarrassing for Putin to accept without a fight, and for that fight he still has... nukes.

> Basically you can't actually unwind the sanctions, just like you can't unbomb a Ukrainian village. If it gets bad enough then there's surely a point of no return somewhere.

The longer things go on, the higher the perceived risk will be for companies returning, but there will always be an incentive for companies to return to take advantage of arbitration opportunities, considering Russia's depressed state. Whether they back down sooner, later, or never, is just risk companies need to price in when doing business there. Changes in the risk will change the benefits to the Russian people, and the profiles of the companies that show up in their markets, but hell, even Indonesia gets trade.

There is never a point of no return, not so long as Russia has a resource to trade.

If that isn’t a reasonable answer, even if there isn’t flaking paint, the answer is basically don’t live in an old place if you can avoid it.

From what I remember, you could choose a layer to use as a mask for quality. However, I haven't touched PS in more than ten years, and I can't even find screenshots of versions earlier than ~CS5 from a quick search. Perhaps it was such an obscure feature than it was yanked out.

I may also be mistaking this with settings for some filter or such—but I'm fairly sure it was a setting particularly for quality of something.

That is good to hear. Let’s assume this observation is true and it is caused by their exposure to the internet. Does it help with their democracy?

No, that sounds more like a (very distorted) description of regularization and/or renormalization.

Regularization techniques take effective field theories like the Standard Model, which are known to be inaccurate at high enough energies, and isolate their low-energy behavior.

For example: classical electrodynamics, interpreted naively, says that the total energy stored in an electron's electric field is infinite, since the field strength blows up to infinity at the position of the electron itself. As this isn't actually true, we know there must be physics going on very close to the electron that our theory doesn't account for. But even if our theory isn't the Final Truth, it's still capable of making perfectly good predictions far away from the electron, and we can't just sit around waiting for quantum mechanics to be discovered.

So we make the structure of the electron a parameter of our theory: it can't tell you what the force between two electrons is, but if you posit that the electron's charge is distributed like so, it can tell you what the force between two electrons would be.

We then use empirical data to reabsorb our new degree of freedom: this is renormalization. Instead of trying to predict the force between two electrons, we measure it, and then work backwards to figure out what the electron's charge distribution would have to look like to produce that force. In this particular case: the electron behaves as if it were a sphere about 10^-15 meters across. This is of course not the actual structure of the electron, but it reproduces the same low-energy classical physics.
And that's assuming their "GPU" is actually performant in those scenarios. All the examples they post are for GPGPU, but how does something like Unreal perform?
Not really. Small studios don't even bother writing their own rendering path most of the time; they're using alternative engines (Unity) or middleware (SDL, bgfx/libgdx/webgpu/whatever) to solve the problem entirely because they have better problems to actually slove.

Honestly the real issue is you probably wouldn't get many users or make a whole ton of money, really. Unless you target iOS or iPads, but that can add some significant constraints to the game. (But sometimes it's OK; Divinity Original Sin 2 basically works fine on an M1 Mac or an M1 iPad, as long as you have a Xbox controller to go with it.)

I think as programmers we desperately want to believe it's just a matter of programming and that we're in the critical path here, but it really isn't. Most of that stuff is a solved for a lot of cases. And if it was technological constraints, honestly, there's like a whole host of actual technological concerns, all of them really boring and crappy and not "cool" like rendering (like how do you CI and QA the damn thing, what kind of impacts might it have on your build system, do all the 3rd party things you have work here, etc.) Rendering is just "cool" to talk about but it's not actually as important as those; by the same token you never see giant threads on here about like OS-specific sound APIs or whatever...

There just aren't many Mac gamers and the hardware is kind of expensive to buy and test on for most purposes in that case.
One thing that other people aren’t mentioning here is that they play the long game. They took their investment in the iPhone and ported it over to the Macs. They learned/improved a lot in that time. The M1 has over a decade of history behind it, in a way.

They have talent, they have execution, they have data about what rubs on macs they can use to optimize really well. But they have the profits and the cash reserves to make big bets and wait them out.

I think the M1 was expected 1 or 2 years before it was released. But they waited. Maybe it wasn’t good enough. Maybe the software support wasn’t there. But they didn’t have to push it out anyway and hope for the best. They could afford to wait.

Maybe that makes them willing to take bigger risks. Maybe through history they just knew Intel slowing down would happen (it bit them with 68k, then PPC, then G3/4/5) and we’re prepared in a way only done one with their own chips could be.

You will be exposed to a certain amount of social justice material at any company. At many companies this is just part of HR / compliance training. You sit through a day's worth of bullshit and then go back to your normal work. If the company wants more than that, if they require employees to be true believers there will likely be a social justice component to the interview / application process. If you experience this then you know not to take the job. Generally speaking, I would say that startups are more likely to push this stuff. The reason is that startups tend to hire younger people and offer them "culture perks" instead of market rate salaries. (we can't pay you market rate but we have a foosball table and we're woke af!)

That's not what I'm implying. I'm saying exactly what that sentence you quoted says.

Waiters have opted into a tipping system and their customers have too. Part of the expectation on both sides is that menu prices are lower in exchange for paying directly for service. If you want to avoid tipping culture then google around for restaurants that don't accept tips, or just do takeout. Mostly non-tipping restaurants don't last long in NA because they go out of business for a variety of reasons, one of which is that service tends to suffer.

The manager likely already knows who is good at their job and who isn't. If there was a breakdown, they wan't to know 1. so they can make it right with the dissatisfied customer, and 2. so they can help the server deliver better service, or fix the system if it was outside the server's control. So yeah, the manager is responsible for doing the best to ensure good service, and they are also the one who has the most power to make it right.

You will get way farther asking for them to make it right then you will by not tipping.

I know all this because I used to work for a very large restaurant chain. They had a spend in the hundreds of thousands for comping menu items because dissatisfaction always happens. Sometimes it is the customer's fault (ordering a steak well done, and then complaining about the texture), sometimes it is the restaurant's fault.

Reminds of something a senior developer once told me about rewriting systems: the first iteration is ad-hoc and messy; the second iteration is well thought out but completely over-engineered and the third iteration gets it right because the developers have done extremes and know where the correct middle ground is.
Well you’re partially right about the GPU.

Obviously we need to wait for people to get their hands on the Ultra and do some real benchmarks, but if we take Apple's claims at face value (which seems reasonable since the original M1 held up well to real-world benchmarks), then:

M1 Ultra has 90% better performance than the "fastest 16-core PC desktop chip available", which is probably the 5950X.

M1 Ultra has better performance than the "highest end discrete GPU available" (probably the Radeon RX 6900 XT?) while using 1/3 the power.

So I'm not exactly sure I'd call your build same ballpark, and I also can't imagine it was only slightly over $2k given that the CPU[1] and GPU[2] you specified alone cost $2200 on a good day...

What Happens After a Default?

Country defaults tend to be very different than businesses or individuals. Instead of going out of business, countries are faced with a number of options. Often times, countries simply restructure their debt by either extending the debt's due date or devaluing their currency to make it more affordable.

In the aftermath, many countries undergo a rough period of austerity followed by a period of resumed (and sometimes rapid) growth. For instance, if a country devalues its currency to pay its debt, the lower currency valuation makes their products cheaper for export and helps its manufacturing industry, which ultimately helps jumpstart its economy and make debt repayment easier.

> "sanctions would continue for an indeterminant (but likely not indefinite) time."

Right, so here "indeterminant" is the "devil in the details". Is this the matter of days? Weeks? Months? Years? Decades? Sanctions are always a calculated risk. Their goal tends to be to destabilize regimes by making it difficult for members of the regime to move money or otherwise live their lives, placing hopefully direct pressure on the regime itself. But if the regime feels comfortable staying the course despite the sanctions, then what are we achieving here? I'm not against sanctions and I think sanctions are a necessity for modern diplomacy; but they need to have a clearly understood end goal in mind. Right now there seems to be a lot of moralizing and very little actual game theory in an escalating conflict with a nuclear power. Is the end game here to morally shame Russia or is it to end this conflict?
