Regardless of planted or no - feel sorry for whatever digital forensic examiner had to confirm it was indeed what it was. Not the victim in this scenario, but its an often-overlooked and extremely unpleasant role to confirm this stuff.
Compare the webcams. 1080p resolution looks mighty different on some cameras than others and isn't a good descriptor by itself of quality.
Well, given the disasters that other parties in the industry have seen trying to make the new platform into the only platform, I can't help but think that some trepidation is justified. Power users also seem to be quite outspoken about traditional keyboard-and-mouse UX not going away, which also makes the success of a single unified platform unlikely.

> Universal Control to me is the epitome of that mentality: a supremely technically impressive, but ultimately completely over-engineered and absolutely ridiculous "solution" to a problem that wouldn't exist if the Mac simply had a touch screen. You wouldn't need WiFi and communication between two computers to move your mouse from screen A to screen B if the Mac just had a touch screen. The experience of having a touch Mac that you just... plugged into an external display would be strictly better than the weird world of Universal Control, where you drag an image from Adobe Photoshop for Mac over to Adobe Photoshop for iPad, or sometimes, you drag it from Adobe Photoshop for iPad running on the Mac using Catalyst to Adobe Photoshop for iPad running "natively" on the iPad.

There are plenty of use cases for Universal Control that wouldn't be fixed by a touch Mac, though. I use it to control multiple Macs (previously used ShareMouse and before that Synergy, but Universal Control works much more smoothly without a hardwired connection), as well as to use native iPadOS apps from developers that force their Electron apps on macOS with, like Slack and Discord.

Personally speaking I have no desire for touch on traditional MacBooks – I can only see it making sense on a dockable iPad-like Mac.
Nonrelativistic quantum mechanics offers an answer to your question. You can write a Hamiltonian involving a Newtonian gravitational potential and the answer you will get out is that your third particle, Z, will enter into a superposition of two states, one being attracted to point X and the other to point Y.
It's simple for users. No need to remember passwords anymore, no typing 6 digits numbers from your phone that you need to search in your house before tokens expire.

This comes with (some) additional complexity for implementing more complex auth flows for developers.

If you think that passwords are working "well enough" today you are clearly not educated on how most users (mis)use them. If you built a site and tried out the passwords people send to you on the logins for providers of the email addresses they send to you, there'd be a large fraction of people reusing their email account password for your service, allowing you to access their email.
nice, thank you!
> Compare that to modern games, which often require a "day one patch" to fix them.

It could be argued that this is for slightly different reasons - because of the delay between a game being submitted to console manufacturers for testing and release, and the "crunch time"-style industry of game dev, I'd argue this is mostly to try and get the game launched sooner, because its cheaper/faster to ship a buggy game on disc and fix it on release day than to wait until the game is entirely fixed first, now that it is a viable option

(Not to disagree with your point - I completely agree)
> Newcomers often refuse to try rust's excellent native threading support and jump right to the badly tacked-on, lets-write-javascript-in-rust monstrosity called async.

To be fair, many of those newcomers have heard that threaded code is very hard to get right (which is repeated by so many people these days), and/or come from the JS world where async is pretty much the only choice you have. This is something that may be partially fixed by more communication. For example, the Rust book currently doesn't cover async at all. Adding a chapter on async and when to use it might help. Another issue is that lots of people come to Rust from/for webdev. The most popular web frameworks (actix-web, rocket, ...) are all using async. I don't have any idea on how to fix this.

If what you say is true, that "It's impossible that async could ever be easier than threading", then I think that's something that people should know and tell other people.
x86 is dead, full of security issues and is energy-intensive

smartphones, even embedded devices, including cars nowadays are all on ARM, servers are building momentum too, not because it is shiny, but because of tangible gains on many aspects

> Apple is willing to force its partners and customers to make the switch or get left behind.

That's not true at all, the chip doesn't matter when you sell software, hardware and services

It's like changing the internals of your Camera to provide a better experience and quality, why do you care about it? in fact you don't! You want a better Camera, company will pick what's best for the better Camera

Apple provide a transparent translation layer to accompany the transition with Rosetta, it's effortless for the users

That's the problem of Microsoft, they are incapable of designing proper UX solution to accompany their customers to better solutions, instead they force their customers to be stuck with inefficient solution, Microsoft don't even care nor dare cleaning their OS to provide up-to-date solutions

It's a bloaty mess of 5 generations of different UI/UX

Choosing Windows prevents you from having a seamless experience from your Watch -> Phone -> Desktop -> Car

That's what Microsoft fanboy don't understand, they protect their poor decision making, their inefficient products and ultimately, it leads to the death of their products

Microsoft Windows consumers are stuck

That's why Windows Mobile, Metro, UWP, WinUI all flopped, the platform is no longer up to date

And it's not just a chip issue, it's the whole ecosystem and culture, always too late to make changes, and here, incapable of providing a transition path, hence they are failing behind apple

I agree that the world basically runs on excel, but given that, the world cares about excel’s performance. Especially as spreadsheets are only getting bigger.

You developed on EC2 then and iPad was your dumb terminal. What is really needed is some sort of native container support so that overpriced gadget could be even useful offline.
If this delivers, it will remove the single biggest headache I've had with iOS in a family with non-technical members. Keeping an ongoing source of truth, backed up collection of albums amongst a family has been a huge pain.

(and yes, before you offer me your easy solution, I've tried many of them and have often found various hardware, software, or wetware factors that limit its ease of implementation)
Nuvia by all accounts has an excellent team. IIRC, Qualcomm has redirected their efforts to laptop SoCs.
I'm still using a 2017 MacBook Pro, though I have an M1 Mac Mini.
I had 2 second-hand 27" iMacs too, from 2011 and 2013.

I gave the 2011 one away, because I couldn't upgrade it anymore, but it is still used for audio/video editing.

The 2013 one has some issues with its hard-drive and I'm planning to upgrade it to an SSD. It's still a pretty capable machine, though I would probably put Linux on it, since the macOS upgrades for that are discontinued too.

The display panels are "just" 2K in them, but still super sharp, though a bit dusty inside... They are better than most cheaper external monitors I saw ppl using for everyday work...

I think a decade of runtime for Macs is not that uncommon. 2 decades would be even better, but I wouldn't call it a "vicious upgrade cycle"...

I mean, I'm still on an iPhone Xs Max and before that I had an iPhone 7 Pro and I have no intention of upgrading, despite the back-glass being cracked on it. and not because I can't afford it, but because I won't really utilize the extra power of the latest versions.
I worked at my last job for over 10 years, and probably the last 5 were totally burned out. I quit 2 months ago, and I'm certainly not over it. Not even looking for other work right now, I wouldn't interview very well at all.
Why do you drop the "the"?
That’s not how advertising works, advertisers don’t care about “quality of the audience” in the abstract because digital advertising is results driven. There’s a great deal of fraud in advertising across the industry, and it’s certainly not good, but it’s a cost of doing business for advertisers and is factored in: when an advertiser pays Twitter $100 to generate $150 in revenue, it doesn’t matter if $50 of that $100 was spent because it “non-human users”. Twitter could reveal tomorrow “oops our numbers are wrong, our non-human user count is actually twice as high” and it would have zero impact on advertisers. Not a single professional in the space would care, because advertisers are not measuring their value from Twitter based on twitters KPIs. Advertising is a means to an end, advertisers measure the end.
I'm not even sure which company they're accusing of having those faults.
Yes it's made with iPhone/iPad parts instead of PC parts :)
My wife signed up for calm.com using Sign in with Apple. Thanks to this, I am not able to occasionally use her login to listen to the wonderful music. There's just no way in hell I'm paying the $60 a year or whatever they're asking to listen to a couple songs every now and then. In a normal setting, she'd add her login to her 1password and I'd be able to use Calm.com, and who knows, I would've grown to love it, and gotten myself a second subscription.

But since this experience has been so confoundingly annoying, Calm.com won't get a penny from me. (Not even sure I want to blame them... but rather how it's impossible for my wife to just "share" that credential with me even if she wanted to)

Not being able to share a certain type of login (for this kind of family sharing scenario) has really soured me on the more personal use cases for these technologies, even though they are really solid from the tech side.

Like people often say, most products are competing with Word, Excel, and email, authentication is competing with me just being able to tell a human my username and password.

Again, there are many instances where being able to share these credentials seamlessly between non-power users is totally legit. When I sit with my dad to help her log in to his patient portal to get some medical info. Or when my mom wants help to review her Verizon cell phone bill. Or when I get my wife's credentials to cancel a hotel reservation.

How are they going to solve the totally legitimate sharing use cases? Using PKI actually gives you a wonderful set of tools to do this (underlying implementation could be that we generate a temp cert that expires in 24 hours, signed by her original credential certificate saying it's a shared credential, etc)

I really hope these are the use cases that get more fleshed out before these technologies reach mainstream.
Are you open to ideas? Repairability = good for the environment comes from replacing a small piece of a larger hardware item so the whole hardware does not have to be recycled in the first place.

Now what happens when the MacBook has a defect processor or ram or ssd or screen? The whole thing is trash. And thats much more footprint than any smolten copper/gold/... that was put into it.

The only reusability is shredding - most of the time! - and smelting/separating the metals, which causes a lot of enviromental issues.

Yeah, it's not fair to suggest this was 73-page contract was an as-is agreement with no warranties express or implied: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1418091/000119312522...

There are two whole sections from Section 4.1 through Section 5.11, comprising 16 pages of representations and warranties, which incorporate a wide swath of statements (including public disclosures to shareholders), not to mention two pages of conditions, etc. including specifically:

> Section 5.5 Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or required to be supplied by or on behalf of Parent or any of its Representatives expressly for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement shall, at the time it is first mailed to the Company’s stockholders and at the time of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting to be held in connection with the Merger, contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

It says right there ~"if Twitter has been lying to its shareholders I can void the contract."
How is the bitstring 'embedded' in the n-cube? It must be a linearisation from a 1-dimensional string to vertices of the n-dimensional object but...? What does 'embedded' even mean, mathematically.

Edit: neighbouring vertices can't be collapsed to a 1-dim string such that each bit x in the string abuts bit y if x is a neighbouring vertex of y (neighbouring = 1 edge away). Works for 1 and 2 dim cubes (line and square) fails for 3. Maybe am missing something.

'incidence matrices' something is incident on something else? It occurs to me that in some sense the recursive matrices might represent the n-cube, each sub-matrix being an n-1 cube. If this is so it is starting to make a little sense.

But that's not the point, which is, how are you seeing this so clearly? It's like a pea-souper over at my end.

>edit 4K video over my network wirelessly for the first time.

Good lord, to think of not that many years ago still needing to be firmly attached to an array of spinning rust to get performance for that. Now, we want to (nearly can) do it wirelessly. Just another set of gear adding to the pile of boat anchors I've been collecting
The macbook air with 24gb memory and 512gb ssd is $1800, not $1200. Another $100 if you want the extra GPU cores.
Great discussion. This is indeed the heart of the problem, and I suspect we are going to collectively play ostrich until we are hit over the head with the consequences.
I agree about the CPU architecture, people don't give a shit.

However, I think MS/Intel will start losing also corporate space. With the staffing problems, companies are looking for ways to score cheap points, and I'm starting to see "free choice of a laptop, including MacBook" as one of the benefits even in some big corps.
Main reason I went from the 16" Intel to the M1 Pro, dual displays is a must for me when I'm docked at home.
Seems it's like ssh keys, but fiddled automatically in the browser. A password unlocks the local keys.

This means keys need to be transported between devices. Which means even tighter coupling to google and microsoft accounts.
Why does the NY Post repeat known to be false assertions about Russian malign influence. DNC was APT28 and not an inside job.
Bitrate so much better, even on 1080p screen it looks nice
The only reason to buy a Windows laptop is so you can install Linux on it. If Asahi gets there, the last reason will vanish.
OP here.

And to top it off, it seems like it's all undocumented know-how. You have to be a practitioner to pick it up.

We find that the tools are focused on all sorts of inventory (DCIM) and provisioning. Processes are homegrown based on whatever ticketing system you have in place. That's what we're looking to change.

So far it feels like the colo side aren't hyped around introducing tools to automate things. It's like their jobs are at risk. And the customer side is bent on building their own tooling from scratch.

We have found some early adopters, but they're hard to come by. Even when we can quantity savings in money and time to market. Not to mention engineering frustration.

Would love to have a conversation around this!
This is a separate fact that does not negate the one above. You can measure it and if it can or can't make harmful dust you know it empirically
It does sound a lot like a solution Homer Simpson would endorse...
This seems like a good first step on shaving the US' 1st Amendment thin enough that in practice, it means nothing.

"Opening up" libel laws some way, maybe making truth not an absolute defense, or making intent a much bigger factor or much lesser factor, or doing away in whole or in part with that doctrine about "famous people", all would help limit what we now consider "free speech".

I'd suggest changing the way we treat speech about religion, if we're going down this path, too. Criticizing religious practice could somehow not be free speech. That would be a big slice off our current free speech environment.

A few years ago, a couple of states tried to outlaw "economic terrorism". I'm not sure what happened there, those efforts appear to have stopped, but that might be a good way to restrict the contours of free speech while still technically having free speech. Make criticism of business products or practices where you even hint at a boycott into harshly-punishable crimes.
Oh it's no contest. You may as well be comparing chihuahua to a mastiff. Still, it's better than nothing and useful to have around for development and small-scale experimentation.
For slow-ass DIMM memory, sure. But we're talking on-die integrated memory that's leagues ahead of any PC memory in performance.
Two completely different industries. Same reason that M3 medical imaging can.
Apple charges $400 for 32 GB when you upgrade the memory in computers with M1 Max. That used to be a decent price, at least before DDR5 prices started falling. The M2 memory upgrade is twice as expensive.

Edit: 16 -> 32 GB with M1 Pro is $400. 32 -> 64 GB with M1 Max is also $400. 64 -> 128 GB with M1 Ultra is $800. Memory upgrades for the high-end Macs are surprisingly cost-effective.
From Matt Levine's column:

"One possibility is that Musk will keep sending nasty letters and tweets about bots, and the people — including the ones working for him — whose job it is to get the deal done will keep working to get the deal done, and one day Musk will be mid-sentence typing a nasty tweet about Twitter and find out that he owns it."
> If the software that can run on these are cobbled together semi-proprietary chains of mishmashed crap, these boards will continue to be mediocre at best.

What part of SW needed for RK3399 is that? To me pretty much all from bootloader to kernel is mainline in various projects and FOSS. So far it was fairly straightforward use mainline APIs trying to make cameras work via ISPs, RGA for image rotation, Hnatro for JPEG encoding in HW, etc. etc.

Very few small bugs here and there that can be easily fixed.

I've seen much worse. TRMs are available. Various other PDFs from Rockchip can be found, too (even some obscure ones about camera calibration, and stuff like that).
It works quite well (I have it ‘installed’ as a home screen app). You can open individual files or remote repos, but not local folders. Seems responsive.
It looks like you intended your first snippet to end with `return result` not `return i`, right?

Mixing real-machine finitude with big-O theory often gives unexpected or unhelpful results. Once in an interview I argued that since hash tables have a finite number of buckets, at large enough scale they really have O(n) worse-case performance. That didn't go over very well. :-)

What's anti-competitive about that? Apple doesn't even make their own chips, they need outside vendor for that. AMD and Intel are free to offer TSMC even more money, if they want.
> build a portfolio of people both rich and dumb enough to sustainably cow-click

I think you're putting wealthy folks on way too high of a pedestal. The wealthy aren't some hyper-rational, utility-maximizing robots. They're people with likes and dislikes like any other. Being a whale for a very rich person or a very rich family is a drop in the bucket in terms of their net worth. Plenty of people can keep their degeneracy to a budget.
> I think the left simply exploits social issues every four years before election cycles without providing actual solutions.

I don't wholly disagree with that. IMO, Queensrÿche diagnosed the fatal flaw of US leftists back in 1988 in their song "Spreading the Disease": "Fighting fire with empty words / While the banks get fat and the poor stay poor / And the rich get rich and the cops get paid / To look away as the one percent rules America".

I personally find social justice advocates hilarious. Whenever I talk to one, they seem to expect me to take individual and personal responsibility for systemic issues I had no part in creating, and expect me to remedy injustices that occurred long before my birth. They don't want justice; they want revenge for the past.

However, I'm not convinced that "small government" is the answer. Many of our economic issues are due to the issue of a few megacorporations dominating their industries, but "Small government" advocates are typically OK with letting corporations do as they please as if the Constitution didn't explicitly list the regulation of interstate commerce among the powers delegated to Congress.
Whatever wizard at Apple came up with "the number of monitors" as a distinguishing difference between price levels should get a pretty big raise.

It's perfect segmentation, most people don't care, and those that do will pay.
P = V^2 * f, yes, but V and f are correlated. You can't increase f without also increasing V, hence: exponential scaling.
Maybe multi-monitor is considered a pro feature?
On the contrary, I was planning to get an almost maxed out M1 Pro, and now I'll buy an almost maxed out M2 Pro (when 16" comes out), because the things I do need extensive processing power and every bit of performance counts.

If I can not have a big desktop system and just use my daily laptop for developing these hard, CPU bound simulation tasks; I'll be a happy camper.

So, horses for courses.
It says right there ~"if Twitter has been lying to its shareholders I can void the contract."

If Twitter has been lying to its shareholders, then senior leadership is already in trouble and may be going to jail, but there's no evidence of that.
It does not work out 100% anywhere in the world. 80-90% is sufficient. Not having any order is just inefficient.
New one is heavy, much more so than 12" one
All of this assumes a state actor and a relatively "ambitious" dirty bomb. Relax those assumptions and it's less crazy.
"Is social audio already dead?"

One can hope...
Yeah, I have no doubt they can make an excellent core based on what I saw; it's just that there's a limited timeline before your competitors make their move, and Apple is very much moving right now. Hopefully they'll have something released within the next ~6-10 months.
You can combine charging with external display on 1 port. That’s my “desktop” setup with no other ports used. Mouse and keyboard work connected to monitor.
Its not really so clear though, that the next fab rev would come through on time. They often don’t and these product plans are developed years in advance.
I'm also curious how Marevick survived the destruction of Darkstar going Mach 10.
