Right. I actually do understand and accept the security argument for the locked-down nature of iOS. But with iSH already approved by Apple, WebAssembly already providing a sandboxed VM for untrusted native code, and Google offering VMs on their phones today, full support for untrusted VMs seems like a very reasonable request. If those VMs had graphics support, that might well make the difference between me purchasing an iPad Pro and not—for example, WSL2 is the reason why I've been on Windows lately.

I would guess that Apple fears that Epic will start using untrusted VMs to distribute Fortnite outside the App Store. Though, honestly, they're not far from being able to do that with a hypothetical WebAssembly/WebGL version already.

If I’m not mistaken this is also available on WSL. I was surprised, while in WSL, to be able to run windows binaries.
I have a mini with 8gb and its great. I run logic, intellij, node and it doesn't flinch. For work I would want more but for personal stuff, 8gb has been fine.
This was true for me.

pmset -g thermlog was showing below 30% CPU limit with only Zoom.

I swore I'll never buy MacBook again. Here I am with new 14' MBP... I have zoom, 10 IDE windows, slack, Spotify, Firefox with tons of cards, docker with ARM images and that thing barely turned fans to inaudible speeds. Only way I can make them relatively loud is by running heavy x86 docker images.
It's funny how all these writings miss to explain how to figure out what a function/symbol does. When I want to know what print does in Python, I can type: help(print) and get some useful information. In Lisp there is a function too, that I wish someone told me when I was a freshman: (describe 'print)
Tbh it's weird they even bothered refreshing it, instead of going ahead and phasing it out. It's the only one left with the touch bar, with no MagSafe, etc. The Air's screen is now bigger than it. And there's also the 14-inch MBP. I just don't see the point of it now.
That's a strawman and nobody is abolishing your civil rights. Civil rights don't mean you can do whatever you want.
But only M1 Macs? Oof. I bought a 2019 Mac Pro with a 12 core processor and 192GB of memory, but apparently... not good enough. That's harsh, under 3 years later.

Simply not possible. Apple Silicon is ARMv8, but with a number of their own custom extensions on top of it.
That prime fractal seems a good fit for shadertoy: it would give GPU perf and basic zoom in zoom out for free. The last two images look indeed suspiciously good.
Wow, so you really did just happen to have one handy. That's so cool. And now I kinda want one too, so I can scan all of my international orders...

That is really true. Especially because you can play a lot of old console games (including old Sega games!) on, say, a Nintendo Switch. Or on pretty much any PC or Mac with moderate fiddling.

And if you are a "preservationist", you'll either want to play/document/whatever it on the original console, or on one which is dedicated to emulate the system as faithful as possible, i.e. the systems from Analogue or a MiSTer FPGA solution.
But this is irrelevant if you use a password manager.
It’s pretty BSD. Sure Mach is under there, but that doesn’t mean it “is” Mach. There’s a lot more original work that doesn’t belong to either ancestor.
The specific mechanism is 'basic social assistance / income support'. It is a minimum amount of money that everyone has the right to, and is tied to your actual living expenses. To receive it one has to apply for it, a number of months at a time (varies, 1-6 months usually), and provide your bank account statement indicating that you've received no money from anywhere else (other income is subtracted), and you must send your bills as they come to receive matching compensation.

What you need to understand is that the institution handing them out, Kela, naturally must appear scary and imposing, impenetrable bureaucracy. Because simply giving out money is faux pas. So they have to use language like "this is a last resort emergency support you must only seek when all other options are exhausted". In reality, you simply refuse service from the unemployment office and they'll gladly hand you your benefits without complaint.

If they decline or give you less than you're entitled to (very rare), you simply complain to the complaints processing department and they got you covered. Personally I've never had much trouble.

There is a heavy cultural sentiment for "mooching off the government" in this manner. But my back of the envelope calculation indicates that every bum in Finland receiveing these benefits costs the average taxpayer about $1/month. Some of these people literally do nothing but drink beer for the full amount. I'm working on turning my life-long passion hobby into a career.
Amazon is telling their workers to stay in warehouses during tornadoes, Google is firing their AI ethics people for complaining about the ethics of Google's use of AI, Instagram is running a service that their own data shows is damaging to teenagers' mental health, and Facebook is actively participating in the disintegration of western democracy by recommending hate groups to people because it drives engagement, and you're saying Apple is the most evil?

But how does it do this better than any other brand out there? Is it the software (and then base OS or third-party), hardware that is better (not durability or so, but the accuracy of the pen I guess is relevant here), something else?

As a non-apple user, forgive me for being skeptical but it sounds like (and I'm probably missing something) you're saying one needs an Apple tablet specifically for the grand task of drawing on a touchscreen. Or maybe you're using the word iPad to mean tablet in general and I'm reading too much into the comment?

Do you intend this as an insult directed at me?

Yes, I separate out different comments intentionally, because I think they warrant separate points.
The federated paywall ideas were supposed to work with publishers.

They'd go to media company A and sell them something and when they negotiated with company B the requirements were completely different or they wanted different revenue shares, etc.

It was a pretty common startup idea in the early to mid 00s.
I can believe in the conspiracy theory that i9 models were released purely to show how bad Intel processors were and to make Apple Silicon look better.

I'm not sure how to reconcile "I want to present this as neutral" with "but I also want to say, without supporting evidence, that progressives do this more."

I make absolutely no claims about being able to objectively say which side does this more, but it is clear to me that both sides do it a ton, so trying to attribute it more to one side in any significant way requires some evidence that hasn't been offered.

And for the record, I'd have made the same objection if in some alternate universe comment thread you'd tried to claim this was a particularly conservative trait too. There are unlimited examples of either side being egregiously bias-driven, insistent, vocal, uncompromising, hyper-partisan, activist, etc. There is remarkably little news on either side that's free of it. Note also that this isn't an "I will ignore that because both sides do it" argument. It's deeply disappointing in all cases.
Perfect, looking forward to when it's stable.
I’m guessing that sourcing quality, comprehensive weather data does not come cheap—Dark Sky was never a primary source, AFAIK. The cheapest iPad has been cheaper than the cheapest iPhone for some time now, and that licensing cost ate into margin more than they were previously willing to accept.
This is a fantastic comment. I think your analysis at the end is spot-on. It's like the K-12 math curriculum is a hazing ritual for a vast fraternity of "smart people". Without this ritual, their group identity is called into question.

You need to get some metrics for each of your containers. Rather than choosing a cloud machine that is similar to your current computer, consider micro-instances to host each of your services. That way, you can upscale only those instances that require additional capacity.

At $100+/month, I would like to think that you are generating sufficient revenue to cover those costs plus a return on your time and effort. $100/month over a year pays for a rather nice notebook.

Because you’re trusting both apple and the third party jointly, each of whom have different incentives.

I don’t know I buy the “for truly sensitive stuff do it yourself” line. That’s like saying for the truly lethal substances handle them yourself. Most people aren’t more skilled than the apple security folks. You’re almost certainly going to screw up your encryption or leave some vulnerability unpatched or unknown. Frankly I consider my iOS devices to be some of the most secure systems I have access to, and reading through their security documentation has informed that opinion.
I was mostly thinking of a much more severe war cycle like WW1 or WW2 which have been out of most living people's memory at this point and so don't drive the culture as much any more. Before that it was constant bloodletting. We truly live in unprecedented times.

> Churches and temples, far rarer than in most cities, are wedged into tiny hard to see and find nooks.

The largest churches in the world by attendance are in South Korea:

In 2007, five of the ten largest Protestant churches were in South Korea. The largest megachurch in the world by attendance is South Korea's Yoido Full Gospel Church, an Assemblies of God (Pentecostal) church, with more than 830,000 members as of 2007. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megachurch

I wonder if this means there aren't a lot of church buildings because they tend to gather in large numbers in a few very large venues instead of gathering in smaller groups in more numerous smaller buildings?

It's strange and rather unfortunate to see this constant reinvention of authentication methods. Asymmetric encryption as used in things like SSH keys and TLS client authentication have been around for decades, are very much standard, and the only changes to those have been stronger algorithms and longer keys. Smartcards as hardware secure elements have also been around for a long time. I'm not sure how much of a conspiracy theory it is to say that things like this are merely attempts by Big Tech to stronghandle everyone into their own idea of "standards" and run away from all the smaller players in the industry, but I'm sure that we had everything necessary for "passwordless authentication" two decades ago, or at least methods in which it's not necessary to send a password to the authenticating server nor store them there.
> You lament Google's dominance of the web platform while listing F-droid?

pardon my ignorance, I don't personally use an Android phone, my understanding was that f-droid was essentially a FOSS app-store, built in order to solve distribution for non-playstore .apk's.

I thought it wasn't a store that was in any way controversial on the android ecosystem.
Made a point not to install Docker on this machine. Honestly loved it when I first tried it.

Usually have like 20-25 tabs open in safari, a VS Code instance (sometimes two), a Nextjs app + express backend running against a local Postgres. This is always in the yellow memory pressure range for me.

If I close the browser or just stick with a few tabs it’s all good, but when each tab can suck 100s of MB it quickly adds up. It’s a workflow my 2014 MBP with 16GB still handles though so I don’t feel like my expectations are too high.
it's one of those things that you get used to and it actually helps you live a healthier life.
You're right that Safari has never been IE. It takes months or years to fix bugs instead of never fixing them.

Safari is even worse in one key respect. When IE was bad, your website could tell users to use Phoenix instead. With Safari, there is no such option.
Damn, there goes my 2015 MBP…

I’m surprised Clubhouse is still around. I gave it a try as a way to have informal discussion with friends, former colleagues etc. I also tried to listen to a few events, but as other people have pointed out, one could be forgiven for thinking it was satire.

What made me uninstall the app and forget about the service was the sleazy grabbing at my contact list and that Clubhouse came across as completely insincere. The image Clubhouse quickly acquired here in Norway was as a service for gullible suckers.
Yeah, I'm worried too.

It seems like the core team doesn't share my sense that nogil is the single most important thing that Python needs to do in a world of many-core processors. If nogil is now blocked because it's deemed an unacceptable performance hit vs 3.11, I'll be very, very disappointed.
Turning the iPad into a MacBook is far more than some artificial lock.

It requires consciously designing everything to work as both a fully fledged computer and content consumption device. That touches everything from product design, internal hardware, thermals, operating systems, frameworks etc.
It is assumed that the wages you earn are a proxy for your productivity. This may sound dubious on the individual level but on the aggregate level it is not, an economy can only distribute in wages and other returns what it has earned from production.
Chronological order makes it incredibly easy for "influencers" to game the system. Just post a lot. The system that's hardest to game is the one with the most reliance on algorithms, TikTok. On TikTok, you don't go viral because of some mechanical effect where >1/n people retweet you to their n-sized audience or anything like that, you go viral because the algorithm showed your video to random people and enough of them liked it that the algorithm realized your video is the one that some particular subgroup is most likely to enjoy. (Sorry for the run-on sentence.)

On TikTok you don't have to post every day to "grow an audience", you have to post literally one good video, and if it's really good, it'll get 200k likes by the next morning even if it's the first thing you've ever posted. I think that also leads to a reduction in "hustle culture" – if you post something on YouTube most likely no one will ever see it no matter how great it is. But if you post something on TikTok and it's good, people will see it, and so that obviously creates a much stronger motivation to produce rather than to consume.
They don't know any better.
The patent linked in the article was never even granted, it's been abandoned since 2009 (3 years before the article was even written).

I suspect the author entirely made up the "patent issue" to write this blogspam-like garbage, and that Google's decision to initially restrict the feature to tablets had nothing to do with patents.
So, you think AI can't make discoveries because it can't take initiative?
> A better strategy would be, use a single OS codebase, and add layers of functionality the bigger / more pro a device gets.

That is the strategy that they have used since the original phone announcement (Jobs touted it on stage). Supposedly there were two competing phone teams, one built on a mac os X base and one on the ipod s/w. I don't know any of the people involved so I can't say how true that is, but it feels a bit weird to me, like the kind of thing that would have been decided pretty early in the process.

In any case there's a large percentage of common code base between the oses on phone, ipad, watch, tv, and mac (and a bunch of embedded devices too, like the usb-c and lightning dongles for HDMI -- yes you can open a console to those devices if you want).

What I think is great is that a bunch of ios frameworks now work/have equivalents on the macOS. I'm actually pretty happy for the same capabilities to be roughly available across platforms: back in the 80s the hardware I used (lispms mostly) was pretty much all a computing "window" into a common underlying sense of computation. I use the apple devices because they are getting pretty close to that: I can just pick up the device that has the most convenient interface for task X, or if that's not possible, still do task X with the device at hand.

Having said that what sucks is when the mac application is just a lazily ported ios app that doesn't fit the mac UX metaphors. But this release looks like a good step forward in that regard.
In system preferences there are videos demonstrating all trackpad gestures in the trackpad settings.

I think most issues people have with using the trackpad are due to the fact that the default is that you have to click the trackpad like a mouse button in order to perform a "click." Most people coming from Windows want to use tap to click and I think that is what leads to confusing results.
Interesting! It seems positioned to eventually replace the existing solution.
Oh dang, thanks for writing tpm-fido! It works really well for my use case -- avoiding mandatory and incredibly annoying Duo Mobile 2fa on my school's website -- although I tore the presence verification out of the code for my purposes :)

iirc, this relies on the uhid module to mock a physical fido2 key, and I'm not sure if there's a way to present a mock fido2 key OS-wide without relying on a virtual USB device. This was a bit of an issue when I tried setting up a similar fido2 emulator in a container, as the Google container OS doesn't allow loading kernel modules. Do you know if that's still the case, or if there's a way to mock a fido2 key systemwide without uhid?

> This is the very type of bamboozlement I was alluding to - instruction set and/or silicon architecture doesn't actually change the amount of data you use.

Oh, but it does when it has a hardware memory compression engine. The very different GPU design also means it can use less (or more) memory in different situations.
$329 is not extremely expensive. Apple sells both cheap iPads and expensive iPads. That's a good thing.
What matters for TPUs today is whether the problem is sparse. TPUs are good at dense matrix multiplication (btw, the 128x128 is just the unit size, it still works with larger systems through the obvious composition of multiplications) with a modest amount of ALU and vector work and lots and lots of "tensor" (multidimensional array). And they are almost entirely 32-bit floats, not 64-bit.

So far TPUs have not really proved their worth for general purpose simulations across a wide range of fields. They weren't built for that, and we have other systems that can run the workloads faster, although it's unclear what wouuld happen if you took a really great team and had them work on a hard simulation problem (for example- my previous area was molecular dynamics, and TPUs can do great work on n-body simulations, but not so great on other parts of the force field.

If you have sparse mixed problems then CPUs are still the most cost effective. If you have dense matrix problems GPUs are the most cost effective.
If you have problems that don't fit on other systems and you have a good team to optimize to the hardware, TPUs are an option and could be cost effective in principle.
UTM[0] does this, which uses qemu under the hood. It's pretty slow, but for some non-GUI workloads, the performance is acceptable.

The screen is 100% not what I would skimp on, as they have immense mechanical wear applied to them in a car. Tesla also famously uses AMD processors in their cars; unless it's a well kept secret, AMD doesn't make any automotive parts. I would not be surprised to see ruggedized electrical defense combined with consumer application processors be fairly widespread in today's vehicles.
honestly happy to pay through the nose for thinkpad build quality. it's a tax deduction and going to last me 5+ years.

Did Deep Mind get that from reading a bunch of papers, though? Or did it get it from having those rules and facts programmed into it? (The original claim was about the ability of AIs to extract the rules from the literature.)

But your last sentence... if it had the rules programmed in, shouldn't it have also programmed in the ability to name the rules? If it learned them from reading papers, shouldn't it know the terms from the papers? Or is the problem that it doesn't have at all the ability to trace out the chain it used to reach the conclusion? Is the problem not so much expressing the chain as much as it is knowing the chain?

To abuse an old adage about advertising "2/3s of my education was a waste. The problem is I don't know which 1/3 is useful."

The usefulness of math, engineering, or computer science education in industry is typically in knowing how your tools work under the hood and being able to apply that knowledge to infrequently optimize them or extend them. It also helps to be able to transfer between similar tools/jobs/occupations with less lead time.

From a society wide view, I'd argue we as a society benefit from pushing everyone toward STEM type education because even if 75% of people who go that route never utilize their training the 25% who do have an outsized impact on our collective well being. Overcommiting to STEM is necessary because we don't know who will be become our technical innovators a priori, so we try to make sure everyone with the potential to be a technical innovator is equipped with the tools to do so.
