That’s nice to know, but for me the M1 Ultra performance is not very relevant. Apple has a history of introducing proprietary architectures, not-quite-compatibles interfaces and non-standard software.

MacOS has nice UI? Great, I will use it. Anything computationally intensive? - Why bother? I would use only Linux on the back end. It’s very easy to couple mid-range Apple product with high-end Linux workstation at your desk. I don’t need to run compute-intensive Deep Learning load while I am at the coffee shop.
The problem with comparing themselves with cloudflare/bunnycdn is that Vimeo is making big chunk of their money on "pro" creators who pay 20 bucks for what would be 0,5 usd costs those CDNs have. They have few videos with few streams - but Vimeo is their portfolio. They are limited by monthly upload sizes but thats all.

I really think this shift is not smart one for them. Because these creators will move especially once they realize they would pay 3usd on cloudflare. And cloudflare/bunny smartly include pretty similar upload area and even videoplayers/iframes so there is not much difference to vimeo for these "creative pros".
Crypto isn't the future, it's right now. I haven't had this much fun online since the 90s.
Y’all might also enjoy the GOLEM project: http://www.demo.cs.brandeis.edu/golem/

It’s of a similar age and goals, but evolved physical creatures with a screensaver.

I ran that screensaver as a middle schooler and happened to work with Prof. Lipson at the Computational Synthesis Lab in college.

Like other posters here, I feel genetic algorithms got a bit overshadowed by neural networks. Circa 2010, GA’s were capable of some real feats that still seem cutting edge today: deriving the full set of differential equations of metabolism for a bacteria, self-modeling through exploration, finding fundamental laws of physics by watching a double pendulum video, and more.

A ton of good came out of that lab, including a big part of modern open-source 3d printing (which was originally pursued to print the multi-material GOLEM robots!)
Thanks for taking the time to explain, really appreciate the kindness :)

"Food is a manifestation of our local fertility goddess"?

Here in the real world, food is produced by work. A lot of work - growing, transporting, preparing, and selling food accounts for about 10% of American employment.
The M1 Ultra is essentially two M1 Max joined together. I suspect most of the things which can go wrong are at the M1 Max level. I'm sure a certain percentage where fusing two dies together kills one or both dies, but I suspect that's probably a manageable percentage.
It’s not fair to compare premium cloud providers with dollar store providers like Hetzner. Especially if you’re going to ignore the cost of paying someone to set up and maintain that infrastructure, which is easily more than $3500/yr.
Then I guess, if you have followed all this chain of back and forth, that you must be on my side?
"Debt" means that someone deferred their consumption in the past, and gave their claim on production to you, so that you will repay them with increased claim on production in future.

What you propose here amounts to the following: renege on the past claim to past debtors, and tell them that not only you won't give them extra production, but in fact the claim on production that they voluntarily decided to defer and give to you, is now gone forever. At the same time, since you cannot actually borrow resources from the future, any more than you can irrigate your plants today with next month's rain, what your "borrowing for the future" means is that you'll ask people to voluntarily defer their consumption, and instead pass on their claim on production to you, with you promising them to repay them with an increased claim on production in future. Let's hope that your new debtors don't feel discouraged by you just reneging on that promise to others, and believe that this time it will be different!
The strategy of creating a large die with lots of execution units, then running the chip at a lower clock speed for power efficiency has been Apple's way of doing things for a while now.

>Apple has built a wide enough GPU that they can keep clockspeeds nice and low on the voltage/frequency curve, which keeps overall power consumption down. The RTX 3090, by contrast, is designed to chase performance with no regard to power consumption, allowing NVIDIA to get great performance out of it, but only by riding high on the voltage frequency curve.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/17306/apple-announces-m1-ultr...

This strategy is something that Anandtech's been calling out since the iPhone 5s chip.

>Brian and I have long been hinting at the sort of ridiculous frequency/voltage combinations mobile SoC vendors have been shipping at for nothing more than marketing purposes. I remember ARM telling me the ideal target for a Cortex A15 core in a smartphone was 1.2GHz. Samsung’s Exynos 5410 stuck four Cortex A15s in a phone with a max clock of 1.6GHz. The 5420 increases that to 1.7GHz. The problem with frequency scaling alone is that it typically comes at the price of higher voltage. There’s a quadratic relationship between voltage and power consumption, so it’s quite possibly one of the worst ways to get more performance.

That the federal government hasn't taken over education is a bit of a hole in your argument.
The classic storm in a teacup blown out of all proportion, turned into some zealous pursuit of human rights and freedom of expression.

Bad stuff went down, it happens to us all every once and a while. I earnestly think it's shitty it happened at all and hope you can put it behind you.
There are feasible predictions that we could see £2.50 per litre at the height of this crisis -- which is, what, £11.38 per gallon?

At say 30mpg (city driving) isn't that 37p per mile?

Unless you're prepared to write off the share of running costs, MOT, tires, insurance which costs a fortune, and is all intended to be covered by the 45p per mile, is it not? All of which could rise by 8% this year (inflation prediction).

As far as I remember reading, most people would already be subsidising once the fuel part reaches about 28-30p per mile.

From what I can tell, very few people in the UK have done the maths as to what is coming for cost of living in the next few months. If the government does not do more than the pathetic measures they have already announced, there will be riots. It is going to be bad on a scale that a person of the median age is too young to remember.
I agree! The 3rd generation of the web in my opinion is centralized, and is about utility and function. People who are overly excited about Crypto have made web 3.0 about the blockchain, but bigger things are really happening. The golden age for IOT and edge computing is just really getting started. “Use your internet for more than just browsing”.
>It's not even like the early days of Gmail abuse where people were using it as a cheap web disk, consuming way more storage and bandwidth than Gmail could've reasonably estimated

Was this actually a thing? AFAIK even at the start they had hard limits. The only thing "unlimited" about it was that they promised to steadily increase the storage cap.
That command is only for diffing against Git HEAD. `git difftool` supports all the ways to diff with Git.
By test it, do you mean see if the police show up at your door? If you know how it works, you just need a list of hashes and a way to find a collision which I believe exists.

Otherwise, you're really just highlighting the problem with all closed source software, you don't really have a way to check what it does so you have to trust the vendor.
We do need the power more in late summer though, as the mountains are running low of water from ice melt.
Ah that makes a lot more sense. I don't know how I missed that. Thanks.
Seems you are the one who doesn't have any idea about how much "bandwidth" really costs, which is $0. When peering happens, do you think they put quota on how much bandwidth you can send through? No, you have a throughput limit but then after that its unmetered. No way Vimeo is paying per TB served if they hope to one day make profits (unless they already do so).

You can easily setup your own personal video hosting site serving TB of traffic per month (over a 1gbps port) for less than $100/month, as long as you stay away from anything "cloud" that is just trying to extract as much money from you as possible. I'm surprised that you somehow think someone else is less experienced than yourself when you don't know even know these basic facts on how the internet is priced.
Yes, that's a good point. There was a longer window of time here which I had compressed in my mind because the shared hosting was so unstable that I basically wrote it off and stopped paying attention for a few years there.
If you have inner anxiety then it will prevent you from focusing. Check with yourself if you have some fundamental problem that is bugging you throughout life.
Same here. Great computer. The only thing I am missing is a bit more reliable support for waking up external monitors. Between my now two m1/m1 max macs and 6 screens I use, one (an Asus 2k display which is slow to wake up from sleep) often requires unplugging to wake up. That is not a m1 issue - its been like that with macos since... forever, but it's irritating.
Yep, "good" blockchains like Reserve and Taler get zero attention because nobody's getting rich from them.
Indeed. The real tax is not just what government spends, but also the deadweight loss of forced reallocation.

Democratic socialism isn't based on "free lunch", that's neither the argument forwarded nor a good argument against it. To take the example I'm most familiar with (Allende's Chile), the point was to put the value produced by the economy in the hands of the workers and to run the economy democratically. If anybody's trying to get a free lunch, it's rentiers who extract profit from other people's labour.

The reason Allende's Chile collapsed was due to US intervention - first, putting them under economic sanction, then funding far-right resistance groups and protests, then eventually just saying "fuck it" and backing a military coup. Nothing to do with free lunches or inflation.

You don't have to do it all yourself; there are quite a few companies that will offer you trading capital and access to their infra in exchange for a 50%+ share of your profit. I myself am on a team at a smaller firm with a high degree of independence, around five years of experience in the industry. The infra (including FPGA/ASIC execution platform, microwave network etc.) is the big expense for latency. On the software side it's often easier for a single experienced C or C++ dev to write trading software with a hot loop of 2-3 micros than it is for a large team anyway, because it's harder to ensure memory allocation and layout coordination/discipline with multiple devs.

The ideal however isn't to compete for those ultra low latency opportunities, it's to find a trade that nobody faster than you is doing. E.g. it's too capacity constrained or cumbersome for the large firms, or in a less developed market that they aren't yet in (e.g. somewhere like Nigeria or Indonesia, or some random blockchain), or it's so creative that nobody else has thought of it.
It's intentional, to drive you to their mobile app instead, since tracking and advertising are much more powerful that way.

Almost entirely scams, even the "real" use cases are just desperate attempts to find a novel use case and become the next big thing. Vitalik Buterin and Chris Dixon are driven much more by Libertarian ideology than actual technical advancements.

This isn't combatting abuse because producing CSAM != consuming CSAM. It's far better that 10 people beat off to children than have one innocent person come under suspicion.
Crypto fails a few key platform viability indicators. New and exciting platforms tend to attract business creators that create outward facing services at a rate that is significantly higher than crypto ever has. It's fairly telling how few truly clever people will go anywhere near crypto for any reason other than quick value extraction. The art sales market looks like engineered market depth with a slice of window dressing. I'd love to see how artists give up on the platform over the course of the bear market. It seems like most already have.

> The debasing of fiat currency is a "stealth" redistribution of wealth, regardless of the pretenses for it.

The "debasing of fiat currency" reduces debt burdens, and I would think that middle- and low-income folks are probably more likely to have debt (student loans, mortgages). A low-inflation or even deflationary environment is probably a worse thing for the non-rich.

Yeah... back in the day, someone made a virtual file system layer that could span 1 or more Gmail accounts, basically using it as a block storage thing. IIRC (it's been a while) there was also some built-in redundancy, like the same file would be stored redundantly across multiple Gmail accounts in case one got deleted. Kinda like an early cloud RAID.

That was before even CAPTCHAs were common, I think, and so getting new Gmail accounts was very easy.

Eventually Google revised their ToS and clamped down, of course.

I'll see if I can track down some historical links, but it was a long time ago...

Edit: one of them was called GmailFS:

> empower new hires to fix things as they go along.

Sometimes things are the way they are for a reason. "This is a regulatory requirement". "This matches the style of six million lines of code and redoing it isn't on our hitlist - in fact match this way going forward." "Yeah, the CEO got drunk and made a bet with another CEO that all new lines of code could avoid 'e' in variable names, so it's a hard rule that we write it n3xt."

I certainly think it's very valuable to get an outsiders impressions and the problems that they see being raised before they get used to stupid ways of doing things. There's a continuum between the new programmer deciding they're going to convert all tabs to spaces and patching a critical security hole they see because of an out of date library.
Without an avenue of recourse, people tune out.

Eliminate choice and you eliminate thought.

Honestly, it has been this way in US politics for a long time. The government is always doing crazy scandalous things, but most people are busy with the day to day and don't know how to act on such information anyway. We are also, as Vidal said, a nation of amnesia. Most people have the attention span of a goldfish. I'm sure most people lack the historical knowledge to contextualize these government actions. They don't know that an antagonistic relationship exists between the people and government. The numerous historical and contemporary betrayals of governments against their peoples isn't in their mind. Plus, most people think they are living in some fantasy world where nothing bad can happen to them.

It's pretty dark. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
This is ignorant. There is lots of information about the safety of human driven cars, it is not a high bar to improve upon, and can be verified. The technology in question is introducing a new form of potentially ruinous statistical surveillance that didn't exist before.
But this is a decision you in effect made, those devices needn't even use TLS, they could use Jim Bob's secret MITM-defeating crypto thing and you can't "hack" that either, you bought devices that are resistant to being reverse engineered.

Governments could legislate of course, there could be a rule that means you can't sell Nest because it doesn't have some "hack" feature. After all the EU mandated people provide a sane charge port on phones and it more or less worked, even if you don't live in the EU your phone likely no longer has some arbitrary custom charge port on it, and you can buy replacement chargers or keep the one from a previous phone, reducing waste.

You also could legislate from the far end, for public services, you could say if I own a device using my credentials to do stuff, I get to have the agreed key material so that I can decrypt messages after the fact. That's a huge pain to implement, most of the ways to do it make everybody's security a bit worse, but it isn't technically impossible.

But technologically we can't change the mathematics of the encryption, Diffie-Hellman works, two parties can agree a secret (which in effect becomes a symmetric key) without either of them uttering the secret.
It's neither of those things in most of Europe. The price of electricity is outrageous in Germany, in part due to these subsidies. Me owning a Maybach would be economical if you all paid me $10/gal of gas used.

Only basic hosting if you ignore all of the other services. You might consider the App Store's revenue share high but don't pretend the App Store is just a dumb file host.
The python code is mostly really the build system and build support tooling and test systems, and some other "helpers", indeed. It's not shipped code.

Was anyone else cringing during this video at both the host's constant unnecessary outbursts, but also the way he haphazardly stripped a $16K Studio? It was obvious he has experience and yet went out of his way to act unprofessional. I seriously doubt every screw made it back into that Studio. Can't wait for iFixit's calmer teardown video.
Is self-hosting really a solution? On a self-hosted instance, how do you prove to people that you are displaying the truth? That you really wrote that great prediction last year and not yesterday? That some popular person liked your post? That your post got 10000 likes and not just 3? That it really was Paul Graham who commented on it?

And if you lose your domain, you lose your identity. There are horror stories out there, where businesses are destroyed because incompetent registrars gave the domain away. Again, you would need a decentralized solution like ENS to prevent that.

There are decentralized solutions which allow the author of a piece of data to update or delete it. It is just a matter of incentives. When the protocol has a way for the author to update or delete content, that just means storing the old version of the content is not incentivised anymore.

Web3 has absolutely replaced the address book. Anyone making anything on that is either a grifter, a scammer, or a moron. Super useful!
"Never Split the Difference" is also the name of an outstanding book by Chris Voss, the former head of FBI hostage negotiation. For shorthand, Voss refers to all biz school rational-actor negotiation theory (as espoused by the parent post, for example) as “splitting the difference.”

He holds that such theory is useful to know in general, but that real-world negotiations are carried out by emotional, irrational humans. As a result, these rational theories often break down in the face of hubris, anger, fear, love, shame, etc, and as such, relying solely on these theories will not get you the results you want. Thus, you should "never split the difference."

Instead, he then goes on to suggest a whole variety of ways one can achieve better negotiation results, starting with the most obvious: really, truly listening to the needs of the other. The book is fascinating. Highly recommended.
With you on that. I had no idea who he was and definitely didn’t come out of that talk wanting more of whatever he is selling.

Incredibly trite and wildly overlong is how I would describe this.

Passports are a federal ID, but they’re not mandated in the same way that other countries like Estonia mandate national IDs.

SSNs? Sure, they’re (optionally) used as an identifier. But they’re primarily used in the financial world, along with your credit score. Most state and federal agencies won’t require an SSN for official business (again excepting taxes & payments). A hotel will accept a Global Entry card for check in. UPS will accept a non-driver’s license to pick up a package. You can vote with a student ID in some states.

And don’t forget people who are undocumented immigrants or on F-1 and J-1 visas who don’t even have a SSN, but still need to open US bank accounts, pay taxes, get US driver’s licenses, and vote in municipal elections.

Identification is complicated in the US!

Equities are not largely owned by the rich. They are mostly owned by pension funds. The "rich" do not own majority of the assets (though, of course, they own very disproportionate amounts of them, relative to their numbers, as that's what the word "rich" means).
I don't think it's far fetched at all, that they'd do that without mentioning it. It certainly phones home when you open Preview [1], what's another little ping when you're looking at CSAM or whatever else they've been instructed to look for? The recent debacle made it clear enough to me that the their privacy reputation is little more than carefully curated marketing, and they're likely under tremendous pressure from lawless alphabet agencies to ramp up surveillance. I wouldn't put anything past a 3 Trillion dollar company, that's quite an empire to protect.
