"it depends", but mostly I don't care, it's a rounding error compared to developer time. Digitalocean lets you deploy containers onto app service so you could do it for $5/month there. On AWS you can do it for about $15.

> Maybe it doesn't have to be expensive if you do it from a "raw" way.

If you look at straight $$$ cost sure, but the moment you take any development time into consideration you want to build on abstractions. Sure I could run docker on ec2 on a t2 micro behind the free tier, but if it takes me half a day to set up and I make $50k/year, it will take almost a year of it being free to pay off the cost of running it in fargate. _This_ is where AWS saves you money, not on buying compute from ec2.
something like this?https://github.com/yuce/pyswip
Yup, I think the bigger announcement today is around it becoming available on non-Apple devices.

People might roll their eyes at Godwin’s Law but this poster has a point.

Here’s how these headlines work:

“The men who ran Genghis Khan’s empire”

This title either evokes the air of scholarly history or makes you think about the brutality of large Medieval empires.

“Women who ran Genghis Khan’s empire”

This title makes you think (or is supposed to make you think), oh, I guess the Mongolians were kind of progressive. Good on you, Mongolians.
Asahi linux has a port for the M1. Accelerated 3d isn't supported yet, but recently his a milestone of a working rendered triangle.

So not yet, but seems pretty close. Marcan has a Patreon if you want to support it.
Qualcomm hasn't made a single Qualcomm core since Apple released their first aarch64 SoC. Qualcomm had zero competition and decided to not really work on anything. Apple blindsided it with its very competitive aarch64 cores, Qualcomm had nothing to show, so they switched to ARM's core design.

Customers kept paying Qualcomm for their SoC with ARM designed cores, so once again, Qualcomm had no reason to actually do anything but sit on their patents.

Intel had a similar story, since Sandy Bridge "x86_64" part of CPU barely changed, most of the performance gain was somewhere from better process, more custom instructions (avx2, etc.), higher TDP (since ryzen).

It's not ARM vs x86, it's Apple ARM cores vs everyone elses cores.
For those wondering what's new, you can now attach a GUI now even if you use the Virtualization framework. Previously you'd have to use the lower-level Hypervisor framework and provide your own framebuffer device.
Too bad that in reality her role would be more of executive assistant by those standards.

I use it extensively every day for 2 years and I can't go back.
I'm just frustrated to lack advanced features or simple tables available on notions. However, as it's markdown based, it's kind of logically limited by it.
I guess it's hard to have both no lock in AND having crazy dynamic advanced tables.
Macro vs micro.
Just disable them, no?
Pretty much every distribution and software package is available in ARM64. You will not miss anything.
Originally, tasers were pitched as an alternative to shooting bullets at someone. That sounded very reasonable. In practice, tasers came to be used for situations in which bullets would never be fired in. They became tools to force immediate compliance. Someone doesn’t listen to instructions? Out comes the taser. The non-lethality lowered the bar for use and enabled police to exert a level of control that didn’t exist before.

Now let’s say you have a drone that fires a taser. For a mass shooting event, yes, that sounds very reasonable. But of course it will be used for many, many more situations. How long before it’s standard practice for police to send an autonomous taser of some sort to knock on doors to keep occupants at bay while they search the house?

I don’t know which tradeoff are worth it, but less-lethal weapons don’t just replace the lethal ones, they end up being used in a much more expansive set of circumstances than the lethal ones they replace.

The comparison Apple makes with NVIDIA GPUs is very exaggerated. But yes, it should be able to game.
Apple's laptops compete in the same market for laptops that others do. I definitely doubt that Apple's customers prioritize modularity more than Linux or Windows users. Very likely the opposite. Yet, the most popular devices of any OS are moving towards non-modular designs.
Seems like gravity would work the same way on a wavefunction. Slight bias in the direction of mass or something.
Since finishing school, I've used very little of the math I learned in school.

I've used a lot of math. Most of it built on high school algebra and geometry. Does that mean that's all I needed to learn?

No.

The key thing I do use is more ephemeral: Mathematical maturity. In my current job, I use math I never learned in graduate school. I'm able to learn it quickly because I learned a lot of math back then. My math classes were a way to develop mathematical maturity.

Which specific math I learned in graduate school was almost incidental. What I picked up was the ability to learn new math.

Fascinating threads in there... like discussions about the Challenger explosion and whether or not the tragedy was actually a tragedy (or a spark for a new Atari game).
The problem is that Alt-key accelerators are encouraged by Windows across the entire OS and it has been the case since the very first version of Excel (it really predates Excel)

I love the approach of testing new features on the Mac first, but it isn't sufficient since the Mac version was never updated to be 100% parity with the Windows version, which means some of the preexisting features would forever be missing from the Mac
To those complaining about software instability, lack of support, etc. on anything that is not a Raspberry Pi, here are a few hints:

1. Before purchasing anything, make a list of your hardware needs then find a number of boards that could fulfill them. The (yearly updated) list at Linuxgizmos can help.

https://linuxgizmos.com/catalog-of-136-open-spec-community-b...

2. It is advisable to ignore any software published by the board manufacturer. Unless you spend a lot on LTS hardware (guaranteed, not just labeled as such), many manufacturers will stop releasing/updating their own distro after some time. Just concentrate on the hardware.

3. Now that you have a list, head to armbian.com or dietpi.com and find if your board brand/model is supported. Chances are that it is since those two distributions support a really high number of devices.
It might seem odd but it's not; we don't ask Asus or Supermicro to release an operating system for their mainboards, do we? So why we should expect that from SBC manufacturers when there is perfectly good 3rd party support around?

https://www.armbian.com/download/?device_support=Supported

https://dietpi.com/#download

4. Find the board that is better supported and you're done. Read also the forums, lots of knowledgeable people over there! Also consider making a well deserved donation to the projects for the hard work involved.

For documentation about Allwinner and Rockchip SoCs, some among the most used in low cost boards, refer also to the following pages.

I guess it's possible that particularly vulnerable people might be persuaded to physically send the actual device to bad guys. I'd like to hope that existing advice to such people warns them not to send stuff to bad guys, we don't want them sending their credit cards, house keys, etc. to bad guys either.
I think this is a big step towards more PWA support. Would love a world where the alternative to building native was just building a PWA instead of building to some other framework that only exists as an abstraction to interact with a few specific platforms.

That being said, I definitely hope it's off by default
I don't see apple pushing some sort of open standard for how to write native apps that is cross platform. Google has done some efforts (like flutter), but all of those seem to tie the library/runtime to it instead of trying to make it an open standard.

The web is the best standardized, cross platform, multi-runtime app platform we have.

This is not true, the sale of used goods / intermediate goods / transfer payments is not counted in GDP [1].

As an aside, be careful with tone that sounds too sure. If I hadn't know, I would have guessed you knew a lot of this topic based on the tone you're using here. I personally try to sound more doubtful on topics I don't know enough about.

Far less triple checking the message recipient to make sure I don’t accidentally send a friend a message intended for my wife! Woohoo! Significant risk of message based embarrassment reduced. Why did Apple wait so long to do this?
Given that police already shoot unarmed people who literally are just standing around, or are sleeping, I’m not sure the bar can get any lower.
Ooooh good point - haven't actually heard of newest NVME stuff before.

The M1/M2 apple hardware specifically seems to be around an order of magnitude from what I've seen (ddr4x 60-70gb/sec vs 7gb/sec for the NVME or thereabouts).

The obvious observation here is that the fab yields for high memory apple silicone must not be all that great, which is why they're mostly shipping 8 and 16gb versions.
Not sure if your comment was confined to the USA or not, but I live in outer suburban London, and I have the schools, small Sainsbury's supermarket, libraries, a small gym, soccer grounds and tennis courts within an easy walk. Larger gym and larger supermarkets are an easy bike ride away. There is nothing at all unusual or remarkable about my particular part of London.
Are you certain the ICs were replaced for cost reduction, and not because the original parts were discontinued?
We have a number of technical protections to limit abuse potential and will be monitoring the situation. Websites like Twitter, Facebook, Protonmail, Slack, etc seem like they could benefit from push notifications for the same reason their native apps do. It’s true that other websites ask for low value / spammy uses.
I remember hearing people complain about their keyboards, not that they couldn't video conference.
Statistically speaking, in the United States you are more likely to be struck by lightning than you are to die in a school shooting. The vast majority of gun violence is drug and gang related, however since 2020 progressive jurisdictions have lessened drug/gang firearms penalties and enforcement, because of their perceived disproportional impact on BIPOC communities.
Bias exist in us all. It's innate. It's what makes us alive.

However, We've never been able to effectively label our bias. We build up these preconceived notions based on our experience and we put them in certain categories that often turn out to be mis-categorized. Taking an example from the article

>I think we would perform better under a non-indian manager

Instead of labelling your bias with 'Race/Class/Caste X', label behavior. We as a society need to be more honest about our bias and use stronger words like "Incompetent, lazy, scattered, arrogant, ineffective". Otherwise you have miscatergorized an entire group of people, not based on behavior but because of some inherited trait.
I think those are all good things, but most countries that have negligible mass shooting events don’t have better mental healthcare or particularly great gun ownership databases. Something fundamental has happened to American culture and it’s not clear what solves that.
X1 is a Pro level device more comparable to MBP. Air is like a browsing the web laptop. It's in the class of laptops that should be $500. You are all so bedazzled by the hype machine that you don't even perceive how you are being fooled to pay a massive fee for EXTREMELY limited feature set of a laptop that's a class below. And Apple isn't even lying about that, Air is a hobby/not a pro level hardware. It's clear Air had more sales funnel than MBP and they wanted to tap into that money making funnel. Have fun with your 2 ports and single screen, and a phone like bezel with no FaceID LMAO. This is such a massive rip off lol, sorry to pour cold water on the hype, but that's just what it is.

Hell, they rewrote Google Work, hey, I'm Apple pay me $200 for rewriting software that has existed for 12 years already.
No amount of legislation can stop an active shooter already in your school, shooting people up is already breaking several laws.

Q: Why do software engineers confuse Halloween and Christmas?
A: Because Oct. 31 = Dec. 25
There were a bunch of police who’d just done training on stopping an active shooter and simply refused to follow the training. What is the point of reactive measures if they are flat-out disregarded? In this example, this drone could be deployed but it could not attack the shooter, or it could attack the kids instead. Considering that everyone would reject any liability just like the Uvalde PD has done, it would not help at all.
Seems like they're leaving that part up to the dev community (which I'm fine with). They'll never be able to make every person and every use case happy, so better to just give us the tools to do so ourselves. Check out UTM if you want a GUI for hypervisor.framework powered VMs.
I have used very little algebra/calculus/pre-college content, but have used a lot of linear algebra/discrete mathematics. Would this be a common exception to the rule?
Ask HN: What Is My Job?
throwaway since I have no interest in my coworkers seeing this...

I have been at my current job for about 8 years. Throughout that time what I have done has morphed and I am having trouble knowing what sort of job to pursue in my search for the next one. What I do on an average week is the following:

- Manage a small team of PMs that manage 2 different external design and development agencies
- Review data from surveys, tests, analytics and use that inform basic UX work that I do, that then a contractor then extrapolates to proper UX, UI and Design files
- Develop POC work to prove out product ideas or UX approaches. Basic stuff in SvelteKit, Handlebars, etc..
- Push the company forward in moving from monolithic CMSs to headless. Push UX approaches based on research and re-susablity. I have proven success with this model bringing in 4-5MM in new revenue via this tech stack
- Billing, Coaching, Roadmap Planning, Interviewing, etc..

I have about 18 years of work experience in digital. Mainly on the Project Manager, Product Manager and UX side. I enjoy being multi-faceted. Where I can think, design, pitch and prototype an idea before having my team develop it and then report on its success against predefined OKRs.

Given all of this, what job title, or type of job should I look at? Any advice is welcome!
To clarify, you’re talking about the 13” Pro only. But yeah, total mystery to me why they’re still selling it. It made sense in 2020 on the cusp of the Intel/Silicon transition, but now that we already have the redesigned 14”, don’t really understand what they’re doing here.

Who would buy one of these? The Touch Bar is an evolutionary dead-end, and the design of the new 14” and 16” Pros seemed specifically targeted at addressing the well-known shortfalls of this previous generation.
It's probably too much to ask our tech overlords like Zuch to contribute to freedom instead of spending $420M to buy election officials.
He discusses how specificity is key in sports, but actually the consensus now is to avoid specialization for as long as possible. Playing other sports helps you in your primary sport, especially when it comes to injury reduction. The book Range by Epstein covers this well.

The article also seems to be focused on a certain kind of math. Boolean algebra is a type of math that is used regularly in CS and EE. It is so fundamental that if you don’t get it you probably can’t code anything non trivial.
Apple’s implementation uses SMS as a backup. Thinking is probably that if you only have one device, it’s usually your phone; so you would have been able get your 2FA code via text. It’s not easily discoverable though, so easy for you to miss it.
I actually disagree, but I take your point. A better product needs to make a real difference for the price. Right now, 16gb of ram costs $250 (cad) more than base model. 512gb ssd costs $250 more than base model. The likelihood I'd ever see those gains, compared to the likelihood I'd be able to use more storage, is wildly different. The product as a whole is better, but the individual upgrades you'd be absolutely limited by cost much more than they should. For example, a 1TB ~5GB/s read/write capable NVMe SSD off-the-shelf can be had for under $200. That's just a bit ridiculous. I'm not going to get the same utility between those two examples for the ~$4-500 price difference.

If I did have endless money, or my regular work was heavily IO bound, then it wouldn't change anything, except I'd be much more willing to ignore how much it costs.
If by plain qemu you mean its user mode emulation then i think it remains to be seen what the performance improvement will be. User mode already can be ok if it’s not doing endianness translation
I agree, sugar perhaps is not a good indicator. There wasn't an actual shortage of sugar, it was a short-lived market panic. But, still, many other sectors of the Russian economy are already suffering - automakers, air travel & cargo are good examples. Some big tech companies like Cisco have entirely left the market, which is neither good for Russians nor Cisco. They already come $200M short in their quarterly. The layoffs didn't follow only because Cisco already slashed thousands of jobs last year due to the pandemic.

Yes, there will be a lot of money in hard currency from oil and gas, but without access to high-tech & parts (which not many countries would sell to Russia), it's gonna pull the entire country into stagnation.
I don’t disagree. What are some alternatives?

A lot of people wouldn't be able to muster 8th grade math skills and do something usefl with Excel. Maybe there is a non-strawman version of the Math Myth is that the economy would benefit if more people could do that.
It’s so strange to see how many of these features not in Safari Tech Preview.

I’m so confused why Safari Tech Preview exists. It’s seems like features in Preview rarely graduate to mainline Safari - yet mainline Safari will get features that were never tested in Preview.
What 3 Words makes me so angry.

There's around 5.1e14 meters squared on the surface of earth. It takes 34 bits to address this uniquely. If we use one of EFF's dice words style short word lists (6^4 words), we need 5 words to describe any point on earth with 1 meter precision.

If we use a projection like say S2 (though plenty of other options exist), these 5 word locators will show strong hierarchical locality. In any specific area for example, there's likely only 3 distinct top level words. Likewise, the last word is useful but probably unnecessary precision for "find the building" day to day use. So the middle 3 words will be sufficient to be unambiguous in most cases, and if people used this system they'll naturally become familiar with the phrases typical to their locale.

All of this can be done with an algorithm a freshman cs student can understand, with a trivial amount of reference data. It can run on any mobile device made in the last 15 years without an internet connection.

I designed a scheme like this for fun years ago, just because it was a natural outflow of some stuff I was doing with dicewords for default credentials in a consulting context, and I just find spatial subdivision structures neat.

It's hard to interpret what3word's scheme as anything but craven rent seeking. They want to keep the mapping obscure, and fundamentally sacrifice usability in the interests of this. That what3words markets this specifically as a solution for low income nations, and dupes NGOs that are not tech savvy in the service of this is utterly #$%@$#ing revolting.

Imagine trying to rent seek on selling poor people their own street addresses, if you'll let me be slightly hyperbolic.

There is no reason a scheme like this can't simply be a standard from some appropriate body, and a few open source reference implementations.
I wouldn’t be surprised if tasers actually increase the impulse to “reach for a gun-like solution” and may have actually increased gun use in policing.
Emulation of an x86 kernel level means you lose the hardware-assisted virtualization support you'd get with an ARM kernel, and emulating an MMU is slow (among other things.)

Technically this would be replacing QEMU user-mode emulation. Which isn't fast in a large part because QEMU being portable to all host architectures was more important than speed.
>but its a large leap to claim that means they ran it

I don't think it is, not just women in particular but also bureaucrats and diplomats in general is what actually ran and does still run empires and nations. Today you'd call it the administrative state. Both historically as well as today people vastly overstate the importance of visible leaders and vastly underestimate the role that administrators, managers, and so on play.
> where I proactively enter sites where I actually do want notifications.

Isn't this how it works in Firefox/Chrome right now? I routinely get prompts from websites asking for push notification permission, which I always deny. Can't imagine Safari not doing the same thing.
Integrated circuits, especially modern computer processors are extremely complex
Sure, but a similar dynamic applies - a union can't negotiate if it's not prepared to strike.
I have the M1 Air and it is incredible to have such a powerful machine that doesn't blast an annoying fan at all times, and is still thin, light weight, and with a very high resolution display and incredible battery life. I travel frequently so it's the perfect laptop for me. And the best part is there's NO TOUCHBAR. I will absolutely be trading this in for the M2.
Have you tried enabling "Use the new virtualization framework" in experimental features? This removed the background CPU usage for me.
Maybe it came from hearing the past tracks from Sonic CD as a child, but I've always been curious about sample-based chiptunes using the Sega CD's Ricoh RF5C164. It always seemed like an incredible compliment with the YM2612+PSG, but sometimes Googling can feel a bit scarce.

I'm currently sitting at my notchless-MBP noting how there is not a single thing in the middle of my menu bar and there never has been. I can't think of a single reason I wouldn't want a notch in exchange for smaller bezels.
