Asahi linux has most things working, except the accelerated GPU. Just in the last week or so a triangle was rendered, so progress is has been made.

Sadly while apple has 128 bit wide memory on the low end (66-100GB/sec on the mac mini and mba), 256 bit wide (200GB/sec), 512 bits wide (400GB/sec), and 1024 bits wide (800GB/sec). Nothing wider than 128 bits looks to be coming to standard laptops or desktops in the non-apple world. I don't really count HEDT chips like the threadripper pro, since they are very expensive and very limited, and burn many 100s of watts.
I see a lot of hype around the AI cores. What do regular users use it for? Only thing I can think of is accelerating writing recognition / face-auth stuff.
I certainly agree with that, but also, isn't this the sort of communication that the Internet was built for? What if you live in the middle of nowhere and you want to chat with someone about something none of your neighbors are into? I feel like 20 years ago the Internet was great at this in text form.
Looking forward to the feel-good girl power articles about Nazi Germany.
Yeah that was at launch, but a couple of years later it went down to less than $1000. I bought one new around 2017 for about $800.

For many years it was one of the most popular laptops ever. Popular as in admired and famous, but also for the people.
These are usually iterative methods
The non FMV library on the Sega CD is surprisingly good! Give it another look. Back in the day the FMV games had all the spotlight.

Someone expresses general displeasure with MacOS -> lambda Mac user has to come and say "It works for me, your opinion is thus misplaced". Every. Time. I don't know what's more infantile.
I don't understand the point you are trying to make here. I wish you luck getting a 2022 Apple machine with 8GB of RAM to handle 2 VMs, IntelliJ, a logic project with 100 tracks or 4K video editing. These tasks are all limited by available RAM and the available RAM has not significantly increased since 2012 (my point).
> Thus, double checking the work of the AI is going to be a lot of the work of scientists in the future.

That seems similar to the idea of self-driving cars that screw up frequently and have to suddenly turn over control to the driver being safer than just paying attention to driving.

Peer review sucks now. Reviewing something that makes errors that no human would make seems like it would be a lot worse.
As far as I’m concerned, basically all of these computers are light compared to the multi kg 14” Toshiba I lugged around in the 2000s

Resorting to attacks huh? Pathetic, lol.
Apple would probably need to do the heavy lifting on (2) by either adding Vulkan support to their GPU drivers or by adding Metal support to Proton.
my older macbooks (air and pro) had a swollen battery which ruined the main boards and were no longer replaceable in practical terms. I'd get it replaced sooner than later if you're planning on doing so.
This absolutely won't apply to everyone -- at all -- but I recently went thought a good year of turmoil, burnout, career crisis etc. and relationship crisis and was just barely holding on. My sleep was getting worse some weeks, better others. I was just miserable, exhausted, brain fog, and just resentful for most of that year.

Then - for whatever reason my younger brother recommended I try taking Magnesium L-Threonate. I kid you not, I regained my zeal and love for the craft and the work regardless of the career challenges in a matter of just a day or two. Really. Within a month or two I'd dug myself out of that mess too.

I had every reason to be miserable between my work and relationship challenges. You couldn't have convinced me that there was a completely unrelated explanation / solution. It really opened my eyes to how little you can know yourself and how easily I could have spiraled out and ended up homeless if I'd stayed that way for another year or two.

All I can say is - keep an open mind - spend some time on your health. Just addressing the voices in your head won't necessarily guide you to what you need.
Every other browser has supported these for years, and the sky hasn't fallen. If anything, the iOS implementation will probably be even more conservative than the others.
some mongol people to this day.

People tend to ignore their ancestor's warcrimes. Even if they admit they were evil they can't bring themselves to hate them.

This applies to most old empires, many people can't bring themselves to hate the entire empire despite their barbarity.
Different people work different ways. While I miss the ability to motivate a sense of urgency while in the office, there were also many tasks that were purely performative.

When in the office, I had discussions, meetings, and presentations which were all geared mainly to support the idea of the office culture over it's deliverable results. While I see people slacking more while remote, they also aren't creating busy work.

We'll see how it shakes out over the next few years. I suspect that remote teams will have an easier time with recruitment and retention, while being slightly more productive than in-office teams. In-office teams will probably be slightly more innovative by virtue of colocation with non-remote teams and a semi-forced need to do "something" with the time.

the supply-chain is a leaky abstraction...
To be fair there is no publicly commercialized version of Windows ARM. They only licence OEM.

So even if Apple wanted to provide ARM driver they probably couldn't for legal reasons. So why should they bother and who can blame them?
I used to use Windows+WSL+Docker for personal stuff. I now use Linux+Podman for personal stuff, and MacOS+Colima+Docker for work (not by choice).

It took me 4 months to iron out everything with M1+Docker where I work. There's still a question weekly about some oddity in our Docker channel.

Remember that container concepts (i.e. jails for a BSD) aren't natively supported by MacOS. The entire ecosystem is built on the backs of a very awesome community. In some cases, there are other things missing from MacOS that prevent them from creating the type of experience you get with WSL (especially networking).

Rosetta virtualization would resolve one of the biggest headaches I have had: x86 container emulation speed. No idea if it would do anything about the second: most of the x86 containers I have tried immediately segfault (nodejs containers seem to be an exception to that rule).

If you're working with other people, who remain on x86, you will come to experience the hell that is multi-arch builds.

Wait a few months and then decide based on what people are seeing.
I get your point about Open Source, no problem.

In your intro you mentioned a series A funding and so I imagined the typical start-up which goes maybe to 50-500 employees before exit (or bust). If you are gunning to be a next RedHat or strongly driven by a Open Source strategy, I get why you would strategically invest in being a pure Open Source shop. If Linux drives your business then it is fine to go this way. Otherwise: The office stack is not a core part of your business so go with the thing that causes the least amount of friction in your company for a modest price.
Cappuccino only delivers audio messages the next morning, all mixed together in one audio track. You listen to it at your leisure, like drinking a morning coffee, or at least that's the idea. I find WhatsApp voice messages annoying, as I can't tell if they're urgent or not without listening to the full audio message after scrambling to find my headphones. In contrast, I know Cappuccino voice messages aren't urgent, since they're only delivered to me the next morning.

I tried it with a group of friends, but it didn't take off, sadly, for a couple of reasons. But I did not feel annoyed by them the way I do for WhatsApp voice messages. I hope Cappuccino takes off, I think it's a good idea that with good execution that deserves to succeed.
Thanks for the notes MBCook.

I certainly know the noise in the comments here when Safari is discussed. And that's why I only gripe on these two features which are available in every Safari for several years now, except on iOS, with no apparent reason.
That's good news. It's about time. Personally, I like that they are adding haptic feedback to the keyboard: https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-16-preview/features/#:~:text=K....

> Never mind Twitter. Buying a car from that guy is really absurd and dangerous.

Very true. I was rooting hard for Tesla to succeed a number of years ago, but these days there's no chance I would even consider buying one of their cars. A few people close to me own Teslas and I worry quite a bit about their safety. I really hope that Musk's absurd behavior lately opens some more eyes to just how reckless and irresponsible the company is.
Asking people to run `pip install` on anything but `poetry` is an anti-pattern to me. Ruby has had bundler for over a decade and this is the pattern that is working for them as well as npm/yarn. Npm comes with node, Cargo comes with Rust so the debate is somewhat reduced.

Since quality of life tools and other soft things are hard to prove, I'll tell my anecdata story point. I sought out any package manager experience in python. I landed on Pipenv which uses pip. It failed to solve the tree. This led me to find poetry and the reason for existing which is exactly my experience. That was 2-3 years ago.

https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry#why

Combine this with asdf and it aligns with most other languages.

asdf + yarn/npm = javascript
asdf + poetry = python
asdf + bundler = ruby
asdf + cargo = rust
asdf + mix = elixir
asdf + shards = crystal
asdf + go.mod (others) = go
asdf + composer = php

In legacy (don't break anything) mode, there's still no reason to not switch. I export `requirements.txt` with poetry just for pip legacy reasons and it works great. If I just update some scripts, I could avoid it. It's running all the time in CI, it's exercised quite a bit.

What's wrong with just using pip and requirements.txt? There's no dev section. In addition, bumping deps is not the same. I have a blog post explaining semver updates to a python dev:

https://squarism.com/2021/09/10/sciencing-out-updates/

my strong assertion: Python and Go missed it from the start. That's why it is so confusing. There's no other choice in Rust but Cargo. Rust devs are never confused on how to add a package, semver it. The answer is always Cargo. It's in the tutorial. It's in the book. It's in the culture.

I think I've heard that pip might support the pyproject spec, poetry already does. If you want scripts like npm, you can have that too with "taskipy". You don't have to.
There's always MUDs!
What does owed in this context? living standards and goods are not the same as 40 years ago.
I own a MacBook Air 11'', and it's also a pretty unique machine in terms of small form factor and silent operation. I feel current MacBook Airs finally serve as a good replacement. However, the 11'' Late 2012 model was also quite unique in terms of being a perfect PC citizen. So one could run other OSes with zero effort. In fact, it was Linus' daily driver for a few years.

I wish other manufacturers like Lenovo or Dell tried to compete in terms of fanless design so that there were more options. Lenovo in particular seems quite unfocused as they release tons of devices all the time and good ones are much more expensive than Apple's offerings, at least in EU.
It's proven through consumer choice of laptops over desktops. Proof is in the sales figures. Consumers choose a less customizable product over one that is customizable indicating logically that some features are more important then customizability.

Which continues to be in line with what I said. Consumers don't care about it as much. It is proof. Please refute this claim or acknowledge you are wrong. Thanks.
Ultimately all life will disappear due to the heat death of the universe so why bother.

Humanity is fairly new, I doubt we'll make it to the heat death of the sun. Modern humans are 300 000 years old (anatomically, 50 000 behaviourally), the sun will run for another 5 000 000 000. We're running out of easy to use resources after not even 150 years of industrial progress, people are getting less and less healthy, fertility is going down thanks to pollution, many eco systems are on the verge of collapse with unpredictable consequences for us, &c.

I think we have many things to focus on before saving animals from the heat death of the sun
This economic perspective was not updated for the advent of office and technological jobs. If you're running a factory, reducing total work hours by 20% would reduce output by about 20%. If you're writing software, doing desk job work, etc, this would not be the case.

For example, how active is Hacker News during what would be expected to be work hours. How many people are taking time out of their work day to post on facebook, reddit, twitter, or here? People aren't doing 8 hours of technical work for 5 days a week. They have a certain amount they're expected to produce over the course of a week, and they spend their time accordingly. If they had 4 days to do it instead of 5, with the same length of a day, they would spend more of those 4 days doing productive work, and enjoy their 3 days off more, without feeling guilty during work hours about "slacking" when people really can't stay this technical, or creative, productive for 40 hours a week.

This is also why tech CEOs and managers are so paranoid about people working from home. They know that the job doesn't really require 40 hours of work. They just want to make sure they're getting 40 hours of captive time.
I've been following that ticket for yeeears. Is it actually shipping in the next release?
Every GPU on the market supports a limited number of monitors. There are fixed-function (not programmable in a traditional sense) blocks of silicon that are used to support each monitor.

M1’s GPU came equipped to only support the internal monitor and one external monitor… a very slim configuration, but that’s likely influenced by its smartphone processor ancestry. Smartphones don’t need to power a bunch of displays.

The larger M1 chips have bigger GPUs with more of those fixed function blocks.

It isn’t artificial market segmentation at a software level, but it is certainly market segmentation at a hardware level, and something they knew would happen when they designed these chips.

In the end, they were pretty spot on about the market segments. Most people want/need external display support… but one external display is plenty for most people. People who need more are likely to also want more in general, and the higher end options satisfy that.

It still would have been nice for them to upgrade things for M2.

Birds lay eggs and are definitely warm blooded. Not to mention the odd mammal that lays eggs like the platypus.
Does anyone use that? It's nice to have when I want to access my data from the web, which is never, and it's not worth the loss of security.

But I imagine the FBU wouldn't like an end-to-end encrypted iCloud Photos at all.
>What is a "PWA?"

Exactly.
Isn't it the other way? Plain text is markdown but markdown isn't plain text?

You're leveraging some semi-readable things[1] to inject into the document to have special meaning, but normally written[2] text will render just fine in markdown.

1. I say semi-readable because BS like image and link tags really stretch the bounds of "as someone would naturally write it".

2. Normally written here is carrying a fair amount of weight but the "obscure" symbols used in markdown (that aren't just plain text conventions anyways) are extremely uncommon in normal communication.

> Having worked with <technology> I don't get my hopes up anymore when it comes to iOS

In my experience iOS and Safari in general is an absolute wasteland of buggy, half-implementations of tech that should be table stakes at this point. WebRTC [0] is the most egregious. It's one of the many reasons that Google had to fork WebKit into Blink.

I expect that's intentional.
Yes, fixed it.
Traditional role doesn't mean the role is not hard to fullfil.
Doesn't that swipe between desktops/workspaces/whatever? On that note, I have no idea how anyone is supposed to discover these gestures. I had the same problem when I had an iPhone for a few months (long story): I became afraid to swipe anything because I never knew what anything would do and the lag on the thing meant that some widget could show up under my finger without knowing (something I really dislike about reflowing and progressively loaded websites too). The floating dot thing was also way more invasive than a button too.

FWIW, I have animation time set to 0 on my Android phone to avoid these kinds of behaviors but given that the primary interaction was through them on Apple, it was unavoidable.
If your real work involves reading or writing or sketching, an iPad is a pretty great choice. I use mine all the time for marking up PDFs, drawing, and note taking (I prefer handwriting to typing for notes).
Snatcher (by Hideo Kojima of Metal Gear Solid fame) is one of the best. Basically a Blade Runner-esque adventure/detective game with a bit of action too.
definitely feels a million times faster than a iMac circa 2000 with it's 333mhz CPU. I mean, we are talking 100000x performance at least.

Text is cheap to scale on Twitter, which is why it succeeded. Your message can be read and understood in a matter of seconds. That's much faster than listening to and processing an audio clip.

Text tweets have infinite reach with enough retweets. It can be embedded on websites, drawing a new audience that doesn't spend time on Twitter. It doesn't disappear if you weren't there right when the tweet was being posted.

Audio has none of these things. Nobody wants to watch a recorded stream, the whole appeal is that you are LIVE with everyone at the same time.
> I find that the happiest people don't read the hustle culture and just focus on their family and are happy with what they have.

I think something often missed is you have to learn what makes you happy. I feel like that should be a top priority (and it may very well turn out to be work that makes you happy). If you can figure out what brings you happiness and joy in your life then you can get started maximizing it.

I'm 46 and have done enough to look back and identify the happiest moments in my life, derive a pattern, and then work to maximize the chances of more of those moments. For me, it all revolves around relationships either with my kids, wife, family, or friends. Not once do my happiest moments involve a screen or my work so I don't chase those things. I work, and work hard, to provide for myself and family but that has never brought me joy. For me, working and work success is how i pay the bills and that's it.
My mbp automatically enables that after being plugged in for awhile, by setting the max threshold to 80% or something. The mbp warned me in the battery monitor I think. Nice, because I wasn't even thinking of such things.
I know this was the test sample in the sound configuration utility for a lot of mid-90s games – but do you know the origin of it? Anybody?
Other factors to consider (at least theoretically possible):

- shorter week is part of compensation; (possibility to atract more or/and better employees).

- more people will start working/get hired;

- productivity is not uniform thoughout a day/week (tiredeness);

My best counterpoint at the same time is that intuitively I think that 1 person doing 5 days is more productive then 5 persons doing one day each, because communication/coordination does have a cost.

(Surely tradeoffs and optimal points vary from role to role; some tasks are easier to parallelise)
T2 is indeed "safe", but there is not a consistent pattern with regard to T1 and pre-T1 Macs:

The MacBook Pro (2016, 4 Thunderbolt ports, with Touch Bar) does have a T1 chip and is dropped, but the MacBook Pro (2017, 2 Thunderbolt ports, no Touch Bar) does not have a T1 (or T-anything) chip and is still supported in Ventura.
> Web push notifications have basically only been used to make shitty experiences

This part is a bit chicken-and-egg. If you have to build a mobile app regardless, because iOS doesn't support web push, why invest in web push too?

Once this rolls out I anticipate we'll see legitimate use cases in greater numbers, as some new projects realize they don't need to be apps anymore.
In my case, I had to get a new DisplayPort cable (not all cables will support 120hz). Things were rocky at the start but I believe Apple also released an update to improve compatibility.
Stage Manager is a mode that can be toggle in quick settings. When enabled it replaces Split View and Slide Over for multitasking. When Stage View is enabled the “…” button at the top of each window can he used to toggle between Stage Manager mode and single window mode.
Or, cute things are just fun. One of my favorite things about Korea and Korean products is that they take the time to make even small things like pens pretty. I would love for American society to "embrace the cute" more.
My claim is that you assign meaning without realizing it.

So my claim is all the benefits are created by your conscious self, but you perceive it to be from the dream. Similar to how religion helps people. Both are fiction.
