I agree that software (especially "platform-y" software like web browsers) vendors have responsibility to provide informative and unobtrusive UI, in order to (among other reasons) protect users from malware. I also agree that Chrome doesn't do a great job here, and that web notifications need a lot of re-thinking across the board. But I don't agree with the leap to "Google Chrome is malware." Chrome isn't doing enough to protect their users from notifications from malicious websites, but I reject the sensationalist conclusion that Google Chrome itself is malware.
Just to expand on this, the solution is the problem is a probabilistic integral across infinitely many three-body problems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

Actually, the gradient function is the probabilistic integral across the gradient functions of infinitely many three-body problems.

The actual solution is the integral of that.

I particularly like that you're quoting the Apple dictionary. That detail was extremely important to me.
Well you are the one who brought it up. Do you have a source to show that more of them are being added? Anecdotally I used to run into them all the time, but can't remember having seen a single one in like a year (or more) now.
Yep. It would be awesome, but I feel like Apple wouldn't be very enthusiastic about putting in effort for an emulated solution over native games.
I’ve been using 12ft since beta. They’ve been hit by some legal notices and no longer work on some sites like NYT. It’s just a game of whack-a-mole. Ideally these workarounds are open source so they can’t just shut a domain down.

It’s all one-use plastics now as delivery apps like Yogiyo replaced most of in house delivery drivers.
I've used kagi for a few months, it is "OK". Searching for technical information on FreeBSD it preformed well. For local things it is useless, the image search is not great, once you click on an image it goes into a slide show view which is not good. I also found it limited results a lot, like search for some pictures and it shows you 1 page of results but the same search on google or ddg you will get 4x the results.

I like the idea of kagi and I think it will get better but I will not pay more than 4$ a month for basic search functionality. I would accept being rate limited per day or restricted on the lower tier, but I cannot justify the cost they are asking for a currently subpar product.

It is also annoying to search when using private mode. Yeah there is an addon but it still is an annoyance.
I hope. I still have hope in my heart. I grew up with Sega and seeing them come back with a console... wow. I would line up. I still remember my dreamcast so many good warm memories of my childhood.

I've recently started on the road to Lisp but am getting there via Racket. What am I missing out on versus Common Lisp?
It's not exactly an apples to apples comparison, but if you must:

- 8GB on the Air is not the same as it'd 8GB on the HP, macOS + Apple silicon's memory efficiency means it can do more with less.

- The new M2 Air has a better screen by resolution, size, and by brightness (400 vs 500 nits). I wasn't able to find colour gamut
specs for the HP Spectre.

- By all metrics battery wise the M2 Air handily beats the Spectre.

- The Spectre comes with bloatware like McAfee LiveSafe and other HP software that aren't essential.

- In ever benchmark (real world and simulated) the Intel® Core™ i7-1195G7 loses to the M1 so it'd be reasonable to assume it'd lose to the M2 as well. I mean it's a 10nm process versus a 5nm so not at all surprising. In some benches the difference is nearly 2x in favour of the M1 which is astounding. Again, we're not even comparing the i7-1195G7 to the M2.

- The wireless chips between are both (802.11ax) so they're on equal footing there.

- The M2 Air has a higher resolution webcam.

- The Spectre does not have fast charging.

- The Spectre has a dual mic array compared to the triple of the M2 Air's. We haven't gotten real world tests of M2 Air yet for it's video conferencing capabilities but if we use the M1 Air's capabilities as a base point then it's safe to safe it'll be better than the Spectre's.

Last year I had a friend who used the M1 Air as a stopgap (from his old Intel MBP) until the 2021 Pros came out and it performed amazingly with a heavy load. I'm talking about running Photoshop+Illustrator simultaneously along with VS Code and node server while have dozens of tabs open all on the 8GB of RAM. I'm positive the Spectre could do the same but the thing is his never made a peep in noise because it literally couldn't since it didn't have any fans.

Hardware is more than it's basal specs, it's about how holistically said specs integrate with one another to create a unified device.

To be frank, comparing a now three year old machine that it's original MSRP is $1600 USD now on sale for $1400 to a 2022 $1500 machine is a bit silly. Even more so when you look closer to the details.

> When you had adversaries threatening to destroy your country

They have exactly that threat from North Korea. But I suspect that the culture of "rampant consumerism and materialism" is part of how they deal with that (also the cuteness thing he mentions possibly plays a part)
Shitshow? Hardly. This is business, you only release the products that sell. Presumably the Mac Pro and Mac Minis aren't selling. Might have something to do with PCs doing all of the same stuff for less money. Packing power into a thin & cool laptop is where Apple shines now.
I think the answer is, it depends. It's been a pretty common-sense part of the web for a decade, powers a lot of experience, & allows developing much better user experiences in many cases. If you have an experience that needs to work across tabs, the alternatives are barbaric & crude & difficult, fault prone, & often waste network traffic.

As usual, the Apple fanboys show up to defend the prison they're locked into. By crudely rejecting basic longstanding technology. Typical. I'd like to see a little more high-road in some discussions, something beyond snide defensiveness.
I will agree that these things you're naming are "bad things", just like anti-intellectualism is a "bad thing", or that they are counter-productive, or misguided... But they are not anti-intellectual. Can't just lump and confound all the bad categories of things, precision matters.

3D support on Win9x would be a wonderful thing in a virtual machine. I have a few 90s and early 00s computers hanging around that I keep functional to play some games from that era that just do not work on modern windows or in virtual machines.
> Tying 2FA to hardware is for most of the common use cases a bad idea.

For me, I don't consider that to be true.

I have a Yubikey on my keyring, and a backup Yubikey in my safe.

Losing my keys is an extremely rare thing (I've never actually lost my keys, closest I've come in the last 30 years is temporarily misplacing them or locking them inside).

I'm happy enough to deal with losing my digital access (via 2FA) tea[orarily under the same sort of circumstances where I've lost my keys. I might need to call a locksmith to get inside my house/car if I've locked them inside, or possibly to get me inside so I can replace the locks (and get my backup Yubikey out of the safe).

When I travel for work, I at least try to make sure I can get into critical systems using TOTP (on my phone and backed up with cloud accessible seeds), to protect against losing th4e Yubikey while abroad. I don't usually bother doing too much of that when I'm on vacation travelling.
>> They [engineers] claimed never to have used anything beyond Excel and eighth grade level mathematics; never a trig function or even a log or exponential function!

As a counterpoint, I use math on a daily basis as a principal engineer (architecting SpaceX's Starlink). In particular: lots of geometry/trig, optimization theory, linear algebra, Fourier analysis, quaternions, probability/statistics, control theory, dynamic programming, numerical methods.

This is typically in the service of modeling physical systems, modulating or demodulation RF waveforms, and controlling or compensating for electrical circuits, orbital dynamics, etc..

The value of math is that it is an especially portable skill-- you can work in many fields and it still applies. I've worked so far in bio-sciences, chip design, and satellites / space. In each case the value of math was very high.

US citizens are indeed underrepresented in mathematical degrees. In graduate school at MIT, the vast majority of my peers were not US citizens (EECS department). It's great the best and brightest from around the world study here, the US government should try hard to incentivize them to stick around (green cards, etc).

I can see it doesn't matter to you about Snowden's motives.

However, many informed and reasonable people care about his motives. Perhaps this can be a motivation to think more and dig deeper.

The silver lining of this otherwise tone deaf dystopian nonsense.
Spotify is an anomaly. We should have a bunch of services with names like Sony+, Universal Now, Warner Music Stream, and Atlantic Listen at this point.

Android 2 had this over a decade ago!
> Is ATSC 3 really not backwards compatible?

It would be pretty difficult to make it backwards compatible. Same as the NTSC to ATSC(1) transition, same radio channels, same channel width, different radio encoding, different properties.

ATSC1 is a mpeg transport stream, and you could stuff something more efficient than mpeg2 in there, but apparently that will crash some receivers, and anyway they wouldn't be able to decode it, so might as well switch to a new radio encoding as well as a new video (and audio, joy) encoding to both get more bits on the same channel and more video quality per bit. The transition may be a little easier this time though: you can multiplex multiple logical channels on a single radio channel on both systems, so, if broadcasters cooperate, they can (and do, in many markets) setup shared channels for old and new, so one radio channel moves to ATSC3 and broadcasts multiple logical channels for the different broadcasters, and that channel's programs will also be broadcast on another broadcaster's ATSC1 channel. (There's not many spare channels for dual broadcasting like in NTSC -> ATSC, a lot of channels have been taken for cell phones)

I'm guessing there won't be free decoder boxes this time though.
... What sticking point? Red flag laws are the bipartisan solution du jour, and they are preventative rather than interventative measures.

Your comment is sarcastic and unhelpful to any meaningful conversation.
And what kind of experience needs to work across tabs?
I actually built something in this space in the last two years called roundtable.audio (https://roundtable.audio/). I actually also created an HN extension found here: https://hackernews.roundtable.audio/. See this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26856883.

I've thought about it quite bit, and I think one of the long-term strategies to revive the space is having live-audio conversations attached to specific news articles, tweets, and other places on the web which prompt discussion. I also considered creating a chrome extension at one point which allows someone visiting an arbitrary webpage to be able to audio chat with those who are also on the same page.

I'm planning on shutting down the deployment for roundtable.audio in the coming months, so if anyone wants to take these projects and run with them, I'd be happy to chat about how to collaborate or hand things over. The repo is open-source as well, but I'd certainly like to hear what you plan on doing with it or how I can help!
>If you won’t or can’t talk to customers then at least make the thing simple. The simpler something is, the more people will use it.

Great advice
I do share the sentiment[1], but I also believe that the target market neither cares nor really understands the difference. So from a perspective of both design and cost margins, it just makes much more sense to use whatever cheapest ARM SoCs is available as long as it is still "adequate".

Of course form a hardware hacking perspective, the FPGA would be fantastic, but those toys are not meant for that.

[1] Even though my thoughts on what an FPGA can really do better in this situation are complex.
That micro comment sounds about right - my degree didn’t require many specific courses in the math department, but we did plenty of math as part of the program, it was just tailored to the specific thing we were trying to do.
> It was the correct interpretation of the 2nd Amendment …

Hardly; your interpretation was incorrect when considered against the contemporaneous definitions of both “regulated” and “militia”

Contemporaneous writings by the bill of rights’ authors only further bolsters the argument against this creative reinterpretation of the second amendment proposed by modern prohibitionists.

> Those constitutions were either updated after Heller or else were unconstitutional prior to 2008.

You’re arguing that Colorado’s constitution was unconstitutional from when it was written in 1876 until 2008?

“The right of no person to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person and property, or in aid of the civil power when thereto legally summoned, shall be called in question …”

See article 2, section 13 of the original 1876 Colorado constitution:

It has remained in its original formulation ever since:

I would think that would be more logic than discrete math?

Math is a good abstraction, such that it can be brought to describe the work many other fields do. It doesn't stand that what the others are doing is automatically math, though.

Semi-related question for those who might know: Is it possible to run, say, Debian for x86 in a VM on M1 Macs? If so, I assume the performance is low because it has to translate every x86 instruction to ARM?

I recently used a friend's touchscreen laptop to reinstall Windows on it. The touchscreen was handy to scroll with while we waited for Windows Update to find his touchpad driver, but once that was installed, I don't think I even felt tempted to touch the screen again.

We'll just have to clear some area, I suggest the quickest way would be with the giant orbital heat beam! :D

(100% agree that getting into space is important, and that if we want to continue exponential growth we'll need more than one planet. In fact, we'll need more than all the planets and we fairly rapidly (in cosmic terms) hit the point where the available volume of our light cone isn't enough. Maybe indefinite exponential growth isn't something we should feel entitled to...)

Every HP I've used has needed repairs within two years of ownership. My first personal laptop, bought right after high school 15 years ago, had a flaky keyboard connector.

The next HP I ran into was provided by my employer. Within 9 months the battery started bulging and the trackpad stopped working. They replaced the battery, which turned into yet another spicy pillow after another 9 months.

Eventually, my employer provided me a newer HP, one of their $2,700 mobile workstations. This is my current work machine. It has had keyboard connector problems almost identical to those I had 15 years ago. But even without those problems, I'm shocked HP charges so much money for this machine. Despite the metal chassis, it feels flimsy. The 1080p screen has reasonable pixel density (not quite "retina", but serviceable). However, the quality of the panel itself is atrocious. It looks like the cheapest IPS panels you could buy in 2011; horrible color reproduction, awful contrast, atrocious panel uniformity, backlight bleed out the ass. Even the viewing angle is mediocre by IPS standards.

I will never willingly spend money on anything from HP.
I am on a 2015 Macbook Pro also running Arch/KDE and it is a pretty solid daily driver.

Allow me to clarify: I do not mean to say that the author is an anti-intellectual person. I have read nothing else that he has written, and I do not know him.

What I am saying (or at least what I intend to say) is that he is defending an anti-intellectualist idea/position, which is just a fact by definition.

> abysmal record of gay rights in communist systems

I think things are more nuanced (and interesting) than that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism_and_LGBT_rights

For example:

> In 1962, the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic decriminalized same-sex sexual intercourse after scientific research from Kurt Freund led to the conclusion that homosexual orientation cannot be changed.

Meanwhile, in USA:

> In 1962 Illinois adopted the recommendations of the Model Penal Code and thus became the first state to remove criminal penalties for consensual sodomy from its criminal code,[7] almost a decade before any other state.

There is an abysmal record of gay rights across all parts of the political spectrum, including using sexual orientation as a political tool of oppression. There's nothing special about communism.

If 15% of 9th graders go on to become programmers, scientists, actuaries, etc (where maybe 40% (at best) of these use calc, probability, linear algebra, etc.), then at least 85% of 9th graders are talking math that they will never use.

Side note, the same could be said for Chemistry and Biology -- while interesting in the abstract maybe, the actual utility is minimal. I have never had to balance a stoichiometric equation nor do I expect to to see one any time soon.

I would agree, as a guess, that learning "higher" math helps you think more clearly or in a more focused way for a longer period of time.
Trust requires transparency and a published security audit report created by a reputable independent author would definitely increase my trust in Apple because they show that they don't have anything to hide.
I have just been given an M1 Max with 64GB of RAM from work and it has to be the most insane laptop I've used. I have a very big smile on my face when I build stuff.
M2 isn’t intended to have high performance. It’s intended to have a high perf-power ratio, as they said.

Often it gets the performance too, but that’s kind of like a lucky break.
Mobile emulators seems like a good use case.

Pinching and scrolling are areas where to me it seems touchscreens have just tried to make up for shortcomings with touchpads.
We got a SIKER battery replacement for a 2012 MacBook Pro, but one cell swelled up and the battery wouldn't hold a charge. One Amazon reviewer for one of the replacement MacBook battery packs says that they might be building replacement battery packs out of old worn damaged, or mismatched cells. I don't know if that's the case.

In any case I bought a second battery pack from TECHOWL and it seems to be working for a few weeks so far. Fingers crossed...
And never used trig???
Does anyone know some work in the opposite direction, that is, running OSX applications with x86 CPUs? I'm seeing a lot of effort with making the Apple's hardware to be universal and run everything else (like Asahi Linux and Rosetta), while I can only imagine how impossible it is becoming to emulate the M1/ARM and run a hackintosh.
