This hasn't been my experience. How many CPU cores we talking here? Haven't really run into Zoom perf problems since running it on a dual-core 2015 i5 MBP.

Since 2019, I have been using Zoom multiple times per day on an early 2019 and a last 2019 Intel-based Macbook. Both are 6-core Intel i7 based. One with 16GB, one with 32GB.

Roughly speaking, Zoom eats a single CPU core or so. This is far from ideal but the machine remains plenty usable. No insane fan noise, etc. No problems doing pairing sessions, etc.

This is not a defense of Apple, Zoom, or Intel for that matter. Not really a fan of the latter two myself. It's just interesting that your experience is "virtually unusable" while mine is "fine" -- I'm curious what the difference is.
Cost of public transportation in Toronto is around $2k/yr whereas car ownership (monthly payments, gas, insurance, maintenance) is close to $8-10k/yr. I'd imagine it's similar to most places in the US that has public transportation.

So yes, most people in North America are already happily paying this extra cost. As NJB/ST videos have shown, society doesn't have to be this way.

You say homelessness and mental health is a problem. However, I'd say that's just a symptom of the high cost of living caused in part due to car dependency. Easy access to transportation and thus job opportunities is a key component in social mobility. But when the poor has to pay an unnecessary extra $6-8k/yr to car/oil/insurance companies just to participate in society, they tend to remain poor.
North America got both variants. This iteration is the model 2, but the model 1 was also sold here.
Still M1 Pro/Max/Ultra single core performance is basically same as M1. It's not good sign for M2 Pro/whatever's single core performance. It's fine for M2.
Brazil’s policy of massive import taxes and regulation to force electronics manufacturers to build local plants has distorted their marketplace so much that it’s really hard to compare it to other countries.
Not to mention, the article says he's currently working with James Maynard, a leader in the field.

One of my favorite stories about Maynard is in another one of Quanta's articles, concerning prime number gaps [1]. Yitang Zhang had just established an upper bound of 70 million for prime number gaps. After that, Terence Tao assembled a crowd of mathematicians to try and refine Zhang's method, and over the summer, they incrementally lowered the bound all the way down to 4680. Then Maynard, who had been working solo on developing an entirely different method, came out of the blue and lowered the bound to 600.

I still find the crowd-sourced "Polymath" approach incredibly cool, and Terence Tao himself discusses the benefits of open collaboration and the dangers of working solo [1]. Though clearly, James Maynard does just fine on his own.

The other is the ridiculously shitty micro-HDMI ports. Why did they cripple the 400 with this junk?

Micro-HDMI should never, never be used unless the device is so small that a regular HDMI is impossible to implement. Even then... you should probably just make the device bigger.
I tried to do this with every laptop I've bought: something that will last and be repairable. Three Dell XPS 13s later I'm buying a Starbook. I hope it'll be the last for a long, long time.

Desktops I've had more luck with - my last one that died did so in November last year. I've replaced it with a Udoo Bolt and I'm hoping to hang on to that for a decade, too.
Admirable and well worth sharing. I'm originally from eastern Europe and understand and empathize with the perspective. We get quite the mixture here on HN, from SV perspective on salary and minimum acceptable HW, to more world wide stories :).

That being said, there are many reasons to stick with repairable old equipment, including "it still works".

So while I am not currently computing on anything from 2007 :), I have t420s laptops used on daily basis (February 2011),and my primary main desktop is chugging the amd fx8350 (2012). I use it for gaming, light room and Photoshop no problems! I live in Canada and have good income - but there's genuinely no reason for me to replace these. Like yourself, I've changed and fixed parts - particularly hard drives. But their hearts are still beating strong :).
The gas fees can be mitigated by moving the process over to a rollup scaling solution like Arbitrum or Optimism, or to a sidechain like Polygon PoS: I mentioned it as a necessity for cheap transactions with ETH-level security in another child comment to GP.

VMs are much more memory intensive than other workloads because they wire a lot of memory and/or just access it constantly, which defeats pretty much every optimization you could conceivably do to hide it.
Wait---you're using VirtualBox on a Mac with an M1 chip? I didn't think that was possible (and if it is, I'll be grateful if you can tell me how).
Used a i7 3930k with 32GB Ram since 2012 with only upgrading to a 2080 TI from a 750. Did everything it needed to do and more (heavy vfx, editing, nibbling into machine learning) and still was usable for most of the things you threw at it. The board finally gave in after 10 years so I upgraded and the CPU is now framed and hanging above my new workstation. My computing devices all have the names of quake weapons but nothing will ever top - railgun.

For repurposing I often hunt for old broken radios to put a raspi in it and use it as smart speakers with mycroft, spotify connect and airplay connectify. If you get ones from quality brands the speakers are usually still in really good shape and you need nothing more than a small amp to use them. Add some yellow leds for lighting and you have a nice looking smart speaker for 30-40 bucks. I just love the aesthetic https://imgur.com/fZDEEyL
What resources did you use to get up to speed, both with the language and which libraries to use?
"Netizens commented that the audience in the theater got an upgrade and enjoyed a “5D” viewing experience."
This comment, and the law, reveal a misunderstanding of how "complex algorithms" work. They implicitly assume there is an understandable and separated mapping between some set of features and the decision. That would describe some subset of models, but there are models, including most neural networks, that don't work that way.

So basically lenders are being asked to either use a particular set of models for credit scoring, or use some smoke and mirrors (like feature importance) to pretend models work in a certain way.

If you could explain simply how AI / ML came to a decision, you wouldn't need it, you'd just write out that explanation as a rule for how you make decisions.
Massive memory bandwidth is for GPU, so not matter unless you utilize iGPU.

I think Minikanren does a pretty good job of being an embeddable version of Prolog. It's not that difficult to implement in whatever language you choose and uses the host language's data structures, you just have to implement unification over those days structures (i.e. figure out how to make it a tree). The main things it can't do is function like a database, though even that might be possible if you get creative.
So much of Golden Sun's aesthetic and design DNA is in the Shining series. For someone who has strong nostalgic memories of Golden Sun, it's fascinating to see/try its essential predecessor.
Other lines can be even cheaper, if you're looking for a minimal studio you can live within 10 mins of a major central station for < $600/mo especially if you choose less popular lines like Seibu Shinjuku/Ikebukuro line. $2k-$3k is already living quite nicely for many Japanese people, my mother in law lives in a 3 bedroom apartment for ~$1,000/mo in exchange for being ~20 mins away from Ikebukuro by train in a sleeper suburb.
It seems that very little on the part of the hypervisor is required, so it shouldn't take them long to add it. They basically just have to call a function to create the virtual filesystem device for the guest.
> How is SRE supposed to quantify if the users are happy

They can easily tell if the users aren’t happy which is usually same time their pagers go off
> 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.

Saying something is of limited practical value is not an anti-intellectual position. I do not think most people get any practical value out of the chemistry or physics they learn in school.
> SRE has an identity crisis. It means too many things to too many people. In some companies, it is an operational help desk. In a few companies, SRE is rumored to be a different aspect of software engineering.

SRE is Sysadmins but with better contracts between teams, and automation focused.

I haven't had much trouble with that definition, does away with all the cruft of the "Production" talk by Benjamin Treynor Sloss and the majority of the SRE books (which are a prescription of a method of creating those contracts).

That said: "DevOps" and Systems Administration in general has had an identity crisis for a while. People don't like the idea of "Sysadmin" for some unknown reason, but give the same role to someone and call them "DevOps" and suddenly all is well.

Same is now true of SRE.

Someone on HN said to me: "DevOps is how you get Engineering to respect Systems Administration".. Maybe the same is true of SRE?

I definitely feel the identity crisis of DevOps is much, much worse than that of SRE- but I guess that depends on your circles.
There are some major bounties for features, four with $5000 bounties). From the FAQ section:

> Where did the maintainer get so much money for bounties?

> He didn't. He is taking a calculated risk that 1) being in debt to contributors is better than being in debt to, say, a credit card company and 2) that the rate of issue resolution will not exceed his income. Note that this means you may not get paid immediately. But on our honor, you will get paid.

The author is a grad student, I hope he does not find a few of those $5k bugs knocked out in a month by hungry devs!
This is honestly the reason I never leave my kids in the car when running a quick errand. Someone will think I am being neglectful and report me, even if it is just a couple minutes and they are objectively safer in the car then me walking them across a busy parking lot.

Most likely Docker Desktop would have an option to toggle between Rosetta and qemu.
Docker Desktop manages the vm, so it would be up to it to mount the Rosetta share into the vm and register it with binfmt.

Sherlocked: “When Apple obviates third-party software”
You should check out exactly how much land is owned/used by some of the companies. Check out for example a satellite view of southern Oregon. You'll see a checkerboard pattern in the forests all over the place. Those are big patches of managed forest that are in various stages of growth.

It's like a pipeline -- yes it might take 20 years to grow a patch to harvest quality, but you have 100 of these patches and only harvest 5 a year. By the time you get around to needing to reharvest patch #1 it'll have been 20 years and it will have regrown.
Ugh. They're getting rid of the names under contacts in Messages.app?

I'm sure it looks very nice when everyone has a custom icon, but I'd wager that's rarely the case in the real world.

Apple's UIs communicate less and less with each release. It's like their design philosophy is "simple as possible and then just keep going."

I worked as an advocate (lobbyist, really) on child welfare among other issues for 20+ years. Time and again, local/city government agencies including schools ignored mandated reporter laws. The point of most such laws in the US is to report suspicion of abuse or neglect. NOT to have the answer to the question. But to report suspicion.

And as someone who worked in the field for a very short time but knew a lot about individual cases and cases generally (as a result of my advocacy work and that my husband was a police officer for 20+ years), the point of the child welfare system is to protect kids. If someone sees a child alone in the car, how are they to know how long the kid has been there or how long they will be alone? I've reported people who have left their kids in a locked running car. I'd do it again.

Should child welfare agencies inform people who are reported for abuse/neglect? Of course they should. It infuriates me that this doesn't happen. Similarly, should there be a review of what constitutes abuse and neglect? Of course there should be. If norms change, if child rearing changes, of course review definitions and punishments.

> I'm all for cutting subsidies, but the problem is that if you want risky things then investors might decide it's better not to invest and the drugs never appear.

So? Nobody has a right to free money. If investors don't want to fund the research, and the researcher doesn't want to share the results with the public, then no money for them. They can go off and work on something else.

> There's no need to punish the creator by not letting them make money off of their creation just because the government was involved, the government is getting plenty out of their investment.

You're putting words in my mouth. I said the cost of government funded drugs should be the cost of manufacturing plus a percentage for the inventor.

Second, that's not how government funding works. If the public funds a thing, then the public has a right to use that thing. If the inventor doesn't like it, then they shouldn't take funding from the government.

Funny to see a pro-corporate welfare argument on HN.
Cool story and congratulations on your work.

I gave my 2010 macbook pro to my parents when I got a new one in 2015. They still use it to surf the internet and sometimes for netflix before bedtime. Its battery is so swollen that the lid cannot close anymore.

I also bought apple care but never had any chance to use it. Very impressive for a computer without any hardware failure for 12 years.
> If we really want to make products that users are happy with, we need to teach executives how to achieve it, not SREs. SREs shouldn't be driving the bus from the back row. They should be rotating the tires and checking the fuel and oil gauges and telling the driver when to stop for gas.

To extend on this analogy a bit, the theory is that you might have business OKRs that are driven by SLOs.

For example, you might have a wishy washy goal of having happy customers. If you're in the shipping business, one aspect of being happy with the service would be to receive deliveries on time (or earlier!) so you might set an OKR where the objective is "Deliveries are made in a timely manner" where key results might be the number of deliveries made on time and inversely, the number of deliveries that are not returned.

By pitting those two metrics (speed and state of the delivery) together, you can ideally capture that an increase in speedy deliveries is not just achieved by people throwing packages out of moving vehicles as one or the other will decline.

Of course, simply setting these metrics doesn't mean very much but this is where we can drop down to a lower level and make use of SLOs. An SLO is just some number with a target after all, it doesn't have to be technical by any means.

So, how can we help drive our goal of timely deliveries? Well, we might set an OKR that says something like "99% of vehicles should have their oil checked every 3 months".

On the face of it, that has nothing at all to do with vehicle deliveries but inspecting historical data might determine that failed deliveries were often correlated with poorly serviced vehicles so by ensuring they're serviced, we can indirectly improve customer happiness by something that seems entirely unrelated.

This is all in theory of course and assumes your business is able to communicate across layers and share some sort of overall vision which is very hard! It also assumes someone (in the middle?) is able to bridge the gap to co-locate SLOs with OKRs and what not.

Anyway, that's how I understand the "dream state" but have I ever seen it actually accomplished? I can't say I have!
It’s kinda funny seeing such a contradicting reaction compared to the top commenter.

I think this just shows how some simple changes can have such a wide variety of responses especially on an enterprise level where this effect just get amplified.

I would expect that even mediocre annual upgrades wouldn't actually be a short-term business failure, as the vast bulk of sales are probably 3+ year upgrades.

It would be a marketing failure though, and sustained would translate into a longer-term business failure.
"We learned of Gumrukcu’s actual past by scouring old magic shops and second-hand bookstores in Turkey, finding that he was a local magician. With his stage name “Dr. No”, he studied and taught spoon-bending, firewalking, and performing as a mentalist, claiming magical healing powers and garnering praise from the likes of fellow hucksters like Uri Geller."

This must be an odd kind of company to work for, unless they're based in Turkey. "Joe, your job today is to fly to Turkey and look around old magic shops..."

> Your reply is worded so generally and vaguely I don't even understand what you mean.

I know the feeling. I've struggled to understand what you write as well.

Yes, I was making a general point. When you wrote "In the end, that's all that matters." you are claiming that the truth (or lack thereof) of what Snowden said is all that matters. This is an overly simplistic and narrow view. Such a view disregards the rest of the situation, including ethics, impacts over different time scales, disinformation, and geopolitics.
why does this page need javascript to render anything? it's a static page...
I think that's totally normal. Many (admittedly, sometimes dubious) studies have made the claim that a background in [linguistics | juggling | playing music | etc] is a better predictor of the likeliness that someone will turn out to be a good programmer than a background in math is

As someone with a background in math, I think that makes total sense. I don't feel like there's any magic reason why practicing reasoning under (one of the many paradigms of) mathematics would automatically carry over to the type of reasoning you practice while programming any more than the previously mentioned exercises.

The only times math has helped me is when the programming I'm doing straight up references mathematical concepts I've practiced with (matrices, group theory, etc). Which is a pretty uncommon occurrence in my current position.

If you want your background in something else to help you with programming I think you'll have to put conscious effort into identifying and using the relevant abstractions and metaphors
