With Apple supporting iPhones with IOS upgrades for years and security updates even longer, you don’t throw away an old iPhone, you either hand it down to someone else or you sell it.

Even an iPhone 6s from 2015 with a new battery is faster than most low end Android phones and it is still fully supported.
This tool seems to bundle an extremely primitive hand-rolled browser along with its archiving tool. This is a weird design decision - if you're a fan of the Unix philosophy, then why not separate the two? And, if you're a fan of the modern web standards, why not use a tool like ArchiveBox[1] so you can actually use a modern browser?

It is clickbait candy to point out even small inconsistencies in Apple’s branding but if you looked at Dell or Lenovo or Cisco or similar vendors nobody expects branding terminology to be meaningful at all.
All this could be faked, this could have been an elaborate scam.
> I can hear people asking: “Isn’t it a bit early to predict that, given that we’ve only seen two products?” It’s a very fair question. But it definitely seems like a first step — to me, the Mac Studio line is a clear successor to Apple’s iMac Pro.

I was under the impression that apple is planning on releasing one more M1 device and that could be the iMac Pro [1]. This article feels quite hollow to me.

If the Oxide stack is good someone could make a name for themselves by porting it to Linux to get wider hardware support.
PMs are important, but for many projects it's not a full time job (having a PM that can write out things to build doesn't directly mean there's enough people to build those things). In some orgs this leads the PMs to take on a half marketing role; that can end badly if this leads to the PM chasing whatever thing their latest customer / prospect interaction mentioned, rather than sticking to plans for long enough to get things to stabilize. Additionally, some times they can end up promising features and fixes on a schedule that isn't sustainable for engineering (but that largely depends on how the organization manages the work; this may not be in scope for a PM, in which case they're shouldn't be promising any sort of timelines).
> That is incredibly judgmental (like saying "poor people are poor because they are stupid").

Except I'm referring to stupid people, not poor people. There's plenty of ostensibly not-poor people making these awful choices living beyond their means, effectively in the process of becoming poor or just anchoring themselves down on a treadmill of debt.

Obviously there's a lot of pressure to live beyond your means, welcome to life in USA. Automobiles are just one facet of this ubiquitous phenomenon. But it's entirely feasible and practical to own and operate cars on a budget in the USA, cars are not the problem.

The problem I've seen more of throughout my life is stupid and/or lazy people unwilling to even get their hands dirty because they refuse to accept they're not rich and can't afford the luxury of not keeping a set of oil-stained clothes.

> I think that in terms of clock frequency increase that road is closed, and has been for 15 years already.

Possibly, except M1 runs at relatively low clock speeds of around 3.2ghz. This is in no small part how it achieves good power efficiency. It's a bit surprising that a wall powered unit is still capped at this clock speed, although whether that's intentional or just something Apple hasn't gotten around to fixing is TBD. That is, the M1 largely lacks the load-based turbo'ing that modern Intel & AMD CPUs have. So it's "stuck" at whatever it can do on all-cores & max load. This could be intentional, that is Apple may just not ever want to venture into the significantly reduced perf/watt territory of higher clock speeds & turbo complications. Or it could just be an artifact of the mobile heritage, and might be something Apple addresses with the M2, M3, etc...
Thanks for replying.

It's always a privilege to receive such a well thought out answer to an off the cuff post like mine above.

I believe we are both arguing from two orthogonal axes. You are responding from the rational perspective and I am responding from an emotional one.

From my perspective, so many promises like this have been made to fix the world with this 'one simple trick' that it raises way to many alarm bells for me.

I go on vacation at a town where there was a famous protest which prevented a forestry company from cutting a large swath of old growth.

The natives managed to defend their claim and the land is uncut to this day. I spoke to some of them and their leaders said more or less: "The forest has always taken care of us, and we don't know how it works so we should leave it the way it is."

And this is from people who have been observing nature in this one spot for 10 000 years. They might have figured some stuff out along the way but generally the white man won't believe them. Both communities are talking past each other because they don't publish papers, and also because we don't spend much time observing nature do its thing.

I guess all I can say is I wish it worked this way, and that fixing our mistakes would be this easy.

This looks incredible. So you sell the trees to buyers? How would you control the supply? Once the trees are out there and mature won't they produce seeds of their own that people could harvest and plant themselves?

Or they'll leave a message.

The real answer to the problem is to deprecate the legacy telephone system. It will never be as secure or user-configurable as just about any modern implementation of voice/video over IP.
The original pitch was "why does the government have to be involved in currency". You're proposing a hypothetical world where Amazon is a fractional reserve bank, but seemingly subject to no regulations that make it a fractional reserve bank -- because otherwise we're bank in the world where it's operating more or less as a government, except no longer even indirectly accountable to voters -- but also presumably there still exists a state that's regulating Amazon's balance sheet to enforce the trust of the balance sheet. So it still boils down to that the state's monopoly on the use of force is what guarantees the balance sheet is what guarantees the currency.

In some bizarre ancap reality where there are multi-trillion dollar rug pulls because there's no stock regulation and every company uses their stock to leverage themselves into an unregulated fractional reserve bank and we also have some other third party non-governmental market maker scrip converting institution that tells you how many BezosBucks to a YahooYuan, then yes, I guess you have a world where no state is backing the currency. I would argue that the institutions that govern this process would still become quasi-sovereign.

I don't really accept the Scottish retail bank note system as being non-state backed. For at least the last 200 years there has been some kind of regulatory linkage between the apparent retail bank note and the backing of a sovereign state. I can't speak to the deeper history here, but whether or not there exists song legal- or regulatory- jiu-jitsu, at some point somewhere down the stack a government is guaranteeing it.
Pi goes on forever? Prove it. All we can say is that it may or may not go on forever. It could be the case that the repeating part exceeds the amount of computation we can do at the moment, or that there is no repeating part. Neither is provable at the moment.

> Using wgpu generally means you're getting a fast subset of most of the modern APIs, at the cost of some control and performance in certain cases (though not too much performance--we'd like to shrink that even further), so for us it's the way to go.

Another cost is that you lose support for older GPUs.
It is interesting how articles like these are typically ignoring the fact the Ukraine is a sovereign nation - for now - and that it isn't 'The West' that has a seat at the table unless they are willing to risk more than they have been risking so far.

Ukraine and Russia are the parties engaged in this war, and with Ukraine on the defense their only options are to continue to defend or to capitulate, and for Russia to declare victory and withdraw, to continue to wage war or to raise the stakes.

'The West' has nothing to offer at the moment, other than reducing the sanctions which would only embolden Putin.

To deny Ukraine agency is to add insult to injury.

You're completely right. People thought paying money would stop ads from permeating cable TV originally [1], and look what happened there.

To deny the impact of emotional circumstance on decisionmaking is itself highly irrational.
Purely from observation, I don't know the actual internals: For submissions: Flagging is also a "score" internally, which also affects ranking. If it gets over a threshold, [flagged] gets shown but you can still comment and interact, if it goes over a further threshold it gets "flagkilled" and is [flagged][dead], at which point you can't comment anymore. What the threshold is depends on the other activity on the submission - if something has no/little comments or votes it'll go immediately to [flagged][dead], if there is interaction it takes more flags and the thresholds move further apart.

I believe comments can end up in just [flagged] but not [dead] only if a moderator removes the [dead] flag - at least I think I've only seen it on comments a mod replied to.
You can tell which parts Amazon dogfoods! Billing is terrible, although it has gotten a bit better.

I also sometimes put in an entirely incorrect word that is vaguely like the one I intended, with amalgamated hints of a neighbouring word, usually the one after. My brain just melds them together. Sometimes I read what I write and wonder how on Earth I can be such an idiot. Blessed are those times I catch such fuckwittery before posting.

the its/it's one is really annoying though, because of course I KNOW which is correct, but sometimes my finger just slips and sneaks in that apostrophe.
> If trees needed to photosynthesise faster they would already be doing it.

I find this theoretical comment so strange because it completely contradicts our experimental knowledge of plants.

Humans been selectively breeding plants for food for thousands of years. Corn that was selectively bred in the Americas looks and functions almost nothing like its wild ancestors. But - by this theoretical argument - this selective breeding shouldn't have worked! If making the plant more food-efficient was possible the corn "would already be doing it".
Bingo. Cripple the competition now, then turn on the money spigot whenever they want.
The way I read it was that granny squares saw a cycle of popularity, rather than crochet in general. 40 years would be a pretty normal length of time for something to be cool, then dated, then cool again.

Personally, I learned granny squares and mile a minute afghans from my mother. Until the last 5 years or so though, I definitely saw them as old-fashioned and out of date. Now they're coming popular again with different color combos and I'm coming back around.
Why Telegram? What advantages does it have in reach, security, availability? Something else?

On Signal, could you create a group large enough for the NYT audience?
I guess if you're a very casual podcast listener, and with the lack of proper migration path it can be confusing, but a dedicated Podcast app makes a lot more sense than the half-assed "podcast is music" integration that GPM had. If you've never tried it, a real podcast app is orders of magnitude better. Speed controls, feed management, silence trimming, auto download, archiving, etc.

The lack of kids support is very true. The free tier also was quite trash for a long time, and the lack of desktop casting. Most of these have been since fixed though and at this point I would say YTM has feature parity.

Recommendation is always hard to discuss as it's very subjective. That being said, YTM has great playlists. It automatically clusters your music into 7 playlists which is describes with 4-5 artist names. There's discovery, replay and new release mixes which are great too.

Overall, I agree GPM got shut down way too soon, but at this point YTM has made a lot of progress vs what it was 2 years ago.

Particularly one next to Russia. (And Ukraine, in particular, after this?!?)

The Chutzpa negotiation approach would of course be, "OK, let's discuss demilitarisation. How and when do you propose to start yours?"

True, I haven’t read the book. I have been following the controversy, though.

My gripe revolves around the fact that the author has no relevant training in the matter, but signed a highly controversial paper along with an ophthalmologist [1]. This paper was then used as the basis for both his book and his TEDx talks.

Now, I’m not going to pretend that I am a psychologist myself, but for several years I authored a blog that analysed pseudoscience and cult beliefs, and the whole website and the associated Reward Foundation reek of pseudoscience cliche:

* They frequently rely on self references, i.e. support their conclusions using their own prior work.

* Misrepresent scientific consensus, e.g alleged that “porn addiction” is part of the DSM-5.

* Any criticism on their work has been ignored, or blamed on personal vendettas or disinformation campaigns (see their opinions on Nicole Prause).

Frankly, to me this looks like just another China Study.

I mean, they are 6 months into designing a single form. The failure is already here. They are actively failing.
That's actually why I didn't upgrade from the 12 to the 13, because I wouldn't be doing the trade-ins. They were tempting offers but I hate being locked in to the same device for 24 - 30 months, which is a condition of most of the trade in offers. I would rather pay for the device outright and figure out what to do with my prior device, and so this newest iphone wasn't compelling enough for that.

(for context, my prior upgrades were in a more lenient trade-up program, which by coincidence resulted in me keeping up to date. not trying to pretend like avoiding a one year upgrade is some major sacrifice, its just what happened)
> But that is when it is completely over with Intel, AMD, Nvidia completely.

AMD is already shipping on 9 tile SoCs, and Intel is doing tile stuff, too.

Unless Apple gets back into the server game, and gets a lot more serious about MacOS, pretty much nothing Apple does makes it "game over" for Intel, AMD, or Nvidia. Especially not Nvidia who is still walking all over every GPU coming out of Apple so far, and is so ridiculously far ahead in the HPC & AI compute games it's not even funny.
Negotiation would require acceptance that one side is the West/EU, which itself would be a major escalation. As long as the situation continues to be framed as Ukraine defending on its own, then the only negotiation point is for Russia to decide to stop attacking - Ukrainians won't stop defending their country.

Internationally, Russia has dug itself a deep hole with its own shortsighted actions - 1. hundreds of billions of dollars of damage and outsized civilian death that necessitates hefty war reparations to Ukraine 2. foreign investment and reconstruction that Russia simply cannot supply 3. Ukraine would be highly foolish to give up seeking NATO membership as "neutrality" would just be an invitation for Russia to rebuild its army and restart the same war in the future 4. becoming part of Russia's empire has become even less attractive with the ascendant totalitarianism.

> fashion for the elite

I agree completely. I also believe that hackernews is the exact target audience for Apple products. People who can argue that $250,000 for a non-manual, 9-5 job is somehow not a good salary.

Apple like to show people (all people from all backgrounds) as if they are normal or average rather than the hyper-elite that they are. If Apple had an advert with the average family in an average home it would probably be distressing to most people.

I'm lucky enough to be in the top 20% of earners in my country and I am in my 30s, but I still would never be able to afford a house as depicted in Apple's advertising. Or have the budget to spend $5,000 on a computer for my work.

Those reports tend to be 90% boilerplate.
I believe the RU war opens a new door to a lot of grief and opportunities. My company has X teams in Ukraine and Y teams in Belarus and we had to evacuate all teams in the recent weeks. Those teams take care of most of the IT-Ops and Big data infrastructures and the invasion impacted us greatly.

All in all, I see immediate impact to the IT world is that Former-USSR countries will quickly lose the IT premium. During the last decade a lot of IT Operation business was out-sourced to Ukraine, Belarus as well as Romania (while not a former USSR republic, it is in the neighborhood of Ukraine). With geopolitics events fold out, all such business is going to flow to other part of the world.

In the long run, the world is probably going to be more fractured. Not to say globalization is going to end, but it's going to pause for a while. Geopolitics events can and will impact commodity prices and trigger weird shits on the future market. We are also going to say more chaos in countries which produce a lot of commodities but have a weaker economy as everyone needs more commodity under their belt.

It also impacts whoever is in the middle of two major players. Poland for example has long been a major production base in EU. However, if Russia is able to swallow Ukraine in whole, theoretically the whole Poland is not going to be safe (enough). I wonder what could be the consequences of such geopolitical events.
