They are accepting "flexa" for payments, which describes itself as a payments system or provider. Is anyone familiar enough with them to understand what they provide?

I want to understand how using them differs materially from just paying on a credit card, and if paying in bitcoin entails transaction fees
Well.. now Safari still is the hated browser to support, instead of IE, because of Apples backwardness
Intel's chips are a bit faster at the top end but use far more energy. Certainly a problem for laptops, but I don't think most desktop users care. I guess Intels prices are a bit better if you want more than 8gb mem/256 ssg, but they're not that far apart.

Yeah the touchbar needs to stay dead.. hopefully this isn't it rising from the dead.
iSH is horribly slow and not really useful to me for a lot of things.
> Anyway, if you have a group of people you know and want to talk why not use Zoom?

Because they're a terrible company who has repeatedly demonstrated that they're at best shockingly incompetent at protecting your data or at worst maliciously allowing it to be leaked and collected by 3rd parties.

Still, there are a lot of non-zoom options for video chat that would be a better experience so your overall point still stands, but it's still just weird to see anyone ask "why not use Zoom?" when by this time you'd expect to hear "Why would anyone still use Zoom?"
Actually, I just realized the new Air has a magsafe power connector and two additional USB-Cs, and does not have a touchbar.

I was about to buy a 14" M1 Pro, not because I needed the speed at all, but I wanted magsafe, I didn't want a touchbar, and two USB-C ports (inclusive of power supply) is not enough. Also the built in HDMI out was nice.

The new Air has everything I want except the HDMI. Separate magsafe power PLUS two more usb ports (that's enough for me), no touchbar... yeah, I'll be waiting for this and saving significant money over the 14" M1 Pro I was about to get.
Honestly: it looks pretty gimicky, and the dimensions and wattage don't put it in Rolls Royce category for serious cooks. It does 1800 watts into < 20 cm (8 in.) whereas the central burner on my SMEG induction stove does 3000 watts into 27 cm (11 in.). A gastronomy induction stove will get closer to 5000 watts per burner.

It looks like it's far more targeted towards the "magical cooking" crowd than prosumer. It looks like you could probably replace a sous vide bath and a deep fryer with it, but most serious cooks already have those as separate devices, and you'd have to give up your "best" burner while doing so.
Good riddance. I hope a16z lost a lot of money.
As long as it sticks with FIDO2 Authenticator L1, it doesn't require centralization of the auth information like levels L2 and L3 do. L1 is what you use if you want control. L2 and L3 are for companies who want tighter, centralized control. Like a FIDO key tied to your Okta account. Though I've yet to see the Levels discussed much nor have I seen any L1 software implementations used in the wild. Everyone seems focused on FIDO L2 and higher, presumably with a focus on getting enterprise adoption first as enterprises do want a central authority.
> Idk where this idea of repairability = good for the environment came from.

How is swapping one part built with "recycled material" not better than swapping that one part plus the whole rest of the device with equally "recycled material"?
I'm currently on my first and last XPS, a 9570. I really wanted to love it, but there's just too much about it that is a complete disaster, particularly around power management, wake behaviour, and thermals.

I know I haven't exactly babied it, what with it having been plugged in in my home office for basically two straight years during the pandemic, but the battery is shot at this point— getting barely an hour of life. Often it'll be supposedly sleeping in lid-shut mode but be cooking itself for no reason. Then it'll wake up and immediately go into a power-panic shutdown, only to assert that the battery is full after all when it reboots connected to juice. And now the HDMI port is also toast (verified under multiple OSes to be a hardware issue).

Maybe I just got a bad year, but this is supposed to be Dell's premium machine and I don't think I can justify giving them another chance after this. It's just nowhere near reliable enough to be used on the road, and not performant enough to be a true desktop replacement. So I don't know who is using this machine and for what.
Then you have the brilliant idea to craft up a bigass fireball spell that will murder those stupid birds, and all the others around them just to be safe.

And it works wonders! Even if it eats your full magicka bar to cast.

Until you use it a hair too close to a town, and have every NPC out for blood.
But still no calculator!

That certainly hasn't been my experience on my M1 Max MBP. When it swaps, I can immediately tell.

Letter in Support of Responsible Fintech Policy [pdf]
For those in the know, will I be able to export my private keys and data from Passkey somehow, so that if I wanted to, I could switch to another FIDO device or system?

I would speculate Apple is not going to support this, and Apple will retain control of the private keys, and do the request signing like an old-school USB FIDO device, but I don't know for sure.
Not the original poster, but for me, everything. I'm the sort of user who likes to customize everything, and Mac (and other apple products) makes it hard to customize anything.

And I'm the kind of developer who will make pull requests to fix bugs that bother me, so everything being proprietary rather than open source is also a big pain point.
Also, software bloat means that the old macbook can't do shit with today's software.
The Air can also be upgraded to the same proc spec as MBP.

Its interesting that they don't have the same screen. The Air is .3in larger and supports more colors?

Air

The 13” feels like a stopgap product. Maybe they had supply chain problems and they couldn’t redesign it so they just put an M2 in it.
A pretentious naming convention that Apple uses to make their devices seem more important than they really are.
Who said anything about f?

I said "power consumption increases exponentially with clock speed" not "power consumption increases exponentially with f". That any modern processor has to crank up V to crank up its clock speed is a given.

Hence, power consumption is exponential with clock speed (which is achieved by cranking up both V - the polynomial term in P – and f).

(Which, fine, if you want to be pedantic, is polynomial growth, but that changes nothing about the point, which is that you have to burn a shitload more power at 5 GHz than at 3.2 GHz, because your consumption isn't scaling anything close to linear).
> on my m1 just a few days ago

M1 != M1 Pro/Max/Ultra.

If you have an M1 Pro or M1 Max or M1 Ultra, that is not "[your] m1".

Each chip has significantly different capabilities in a number of aspects. As far as display support goes,

M1 = 1 external display[0]

M1 Pro = 2 external displays

M1 Max = 4 external displays (3 USB-C + 1 HDMI)[1]

[0]: the exception is the M1 Mac Mini, which doesn't have an internal display, so it can use two external displays.

[1]: once again, the desktop version without a built-in monitor can support one additional monitor, so the Mac Studio with M1 Max can support 5 displays.
It doesn't need to be a language feature. Scoped threads are a library implementation of the idea of joining right away. The issue is that spawn is specifically the most general API; one where you may never even join the thread at all, hence its type signature requiring a 'static bound. Rust doesn't suddenly go "oh you're not actually using the full power this signature gives you, so I'll allow it," because that would make the code extremely fragile, be tough to implement, all sorts of things. Really, this is about using the API that communicates the semantic you want, so that the compiler can check it.
I also have hundreds of accounts. But there are ~10 services that are far more important to me and where I care a lot about security beyond passwords (Fastmail, Dropbox, GitHub, Google Apps, Bank, government websites, etc.). I use most of them already with an U2F key and I’ll use them with Passkey.

The hundreds of other sites will probably take years to support Passkeys (they don’t support U2F either). I can convert them when they support it and I happen to do something else account-wise.

I don’t think it’s a huge issue.
Same reason most people playing FPS games today use a 144hz+ monitor, ideally with black frame insertion. The difference is night and day.
EDIT: even better, Parent/Acquisition Sub refers to Musk's side. So this clause is basically saying Musk won't mislead shareholders to convince them to agree to a deal.
What is the 13" M2 Pro meant for, do you think? Why would you buy it instead of either the new M2 13" Air or the 14" M1 Pro? I can't find a reason.

I guess if you really love the touchbar, this is the only thing that has it? (That HN hates and we all thought they were getting rid of based on the M1 Pro's). Or you really hate magsafe power connectors, this is the only new laptop that lacks it?
What are you after in a trackpad? I think this is the best feature of the laptops.
> ” I've found myself using this pretty actively with small groups of friends”

Would people listen to these small updates?

Audio is pretty big in WhatsApp. But it’s widely accepted that audio messages are good for people who send it and bad for who receive (it is a hassle to listen to it, even at 2x, comparing to reading a text message).

Also, your use case seems very well covered by WhatsApp and Telegram.

I am part of a Telegram from a famous writer where he only sends audio messages (one-to-many, closed threads, only accepts emojis). It is hard to differentiate a product enough as an audio only social network to beat Telegram and WhatsApp on most use cases.
I'll add a nice benefit I had with Tesla. I had a non-emergency warranty issue with the drivers side window and a scheduled a tech to come to my house and fix it.
It's actually in-package, not on-die. It's still insanely fast, though.
Small things also. Bezos choose books for amazon since it is a perfect comodity with low consumer prices. You do not have to see the product to know what you will get. Then by using scale of volume they could reduce the sales price and become more attractive. The last step wouldnt have worked, since you are not allowed to sell books at different price in germany. Also if you ordered a book from a bookstore sometimes you had same day delivery to that bookstore or latest next day. Amazon mostly lifted of in Germany when they started to sell other stuff.

It was super interesting for me to see Apple not directly compare M2 to M1 in any of the graphs, why not directly tell us how much better it is than its predecessor as opposed to PC Laptop peers ?
Some of us do, though.

Vespucci is a really handy Android app for making contributions to OSM, but it's hard to use without knowing something about the tagging conventions.
His point is built atop a tradition going back at least as far as ancient Greece to the formal discovery of what we call logic. In these times it was discovered that you could separate the contents of an argument from the argument itself and reason about the logical structure of the argument independent of what was being talked about. A technique called "refutation by substitution" came out of this thinking. If you take an argument structure, boil it down to its essential point, than rewrite the argument with different symbols you know more about you can very easily check whether the structure is valid.

What you did, when you pointed out that his obviously wrong conclusion was wrong and asked him to defend it in order to be proved right is called a straw man. His point was that the conclusion was wrong and so insisting he defend it makes it very clear that you have poor comprehension of the logical tradition in which his comment is rooted.
Seems like they could just allow Docker.
We have two kids born and raised in Seoul. It is a bit of a pain, but also the price, quality, and quantity of prepared food outside makes it way more feasible to bring that burden down somewhat. If your children are small, I could see it being a pain. We did have the help of a grandma, though pretty inconsistently.
It's not clear if the ISA difference is so meaningful, perhaps it's only a small part of the performance boost. Don't forget that Apple moved from PPC to x86 to get better perf/watt and the PPC ISA is closer to ARM than x86.

Intel or AMD back on their feet can probably match Apple in perf/watt. And I guess they are the closest competitors in the PC market.
Online mediums that do one-on-one conversations (instant messaging, etc) or small group chats of people who know each other don't have this issue, but they're also pretty limiting for meeting new people. It seems like there's a trade-off between a platform making it easy to discover new people versus a platform fostering conversations between invested people participating equally. The largest social platforms have been the ones that are better on the discover-new-people side while doing worse on the other side.
Does this mean that a M2 Max could do 128gb RAM? That opens up some use cases beyond the 64gb. My world has pretty much no improvement between 32gb and 128gb, but I'm currently on a 64gb machine.
It is possible under FIDO L1 certification, but Yubikey and most other players are focusing on L2 and L3 certification as that will be what enterprise customers want.
It was actually 1.6 dollars for 1 soviet ruble. But it was impossible to freely buy dollars at that rate.
ICE is needed when both parties are NATes, if one party was not mated, we’d not need ICE in webrtc either.

Agree on 2.

On 3. The videobridge needs state on who is on the session and who to forward to. that requirement doesn’t go away with QUIC. Unless you’re thinking that the video streams are some kind of a named resource or object.

I think the most people gripe about is SDP and it’s prescription of negotiation and encoding. I agree that capability negotiation can be vastly simplified given some of the capabilities can be inferred later in the session.

I'd be interested to get more specifics on the bans. I'd expect that the author simply ran into anti-bot countermeasures. The word "insist" makes me think they might not have taken it gracefully- I know I definitely can be heated & zealous when I feel wronged, and don't always respond well. Not that all these sites even offer good ways to respond, which is a rather acursed aspect of this freshly mechanized era.

> good luck creating the users, too.

The post itself has this to say:

> I am not concerned with the number of users that a new site would draw, because I see value in small social media sites. As sites grow, Dunbar's number quickly makes real communities difficult. On giant sites like Reddit, the only real communities exist on small subforums. Small sites can produce worthwhile communities that large sites simply cannot--at least, not unless they artificially divide themselves into smaller groups of users.

I think thats sensible. It's somewhat at odds with the idea of posting yourself around, but we do need to be somewhere inbetween. We may want a small community, but we still need some means to get the word out. How online-centric communities can organically & healthily grow is a very real question, particularly when so much activity has subsumed & been folded into the very large sites.

I do hope we make gains, that more actual curators start to emerge in the world. Part of what was so exciting & thrilling about https://del.icio.us was finding people who were well tapped in, people who found good stuff. Surfing other people's feeds was excelllent. Today, the only site I know with a similar role is https://are.na , which is excellent & delightful.
How is nix with M1 mac?
I feel like most of the markup comes from the new industrial design. The previous M1 MBA was essentially a 2018 Retina MBA with an upgraded chip. When the 2018 Retina MBA was introduced, it was also $1,199.
They probably do care, you very likely can only retract them within a minute or so.

I think it’s safe to say that if someone sends you a threatening message and retracts it almost right away, it’s unlikely they actually want to leave a lasting effect of a threat.
I would if I could. I can configure but cannot Add to Bag.
> Places where the only thing that ends up happening is fiddling around the edges. Like building bike lanes through neighborhoods where nobody ever bikes.

This stood out to me within the article as a rather dumb statement to make. Like writing, "nobody ever seems to drive through this plot of land that has no roads."
1) WebRTC and RTP both have RT in their name. RT stands for real-time. If I recall correctly, the only buffer WebRTC has is the jitter buffer, which is used for packet ordering, not for ensuring that enough has buffered to handle bitrate spikes.

2) Yes, you either need a high keyframe interval or some type of out-of-band signaling framework to generate keyframes. WebRTC uses RTCP. A good question is why does WebRTC feel RTCP is necessary at all? Why not generate a keyframe every N seconds like you do with HLS and remove the complexity of RTCP entirely? The answer is that many clients cannot handle the bitrate at real-time speeds.
Display Stream Compression (DSC) is fine. It is not a "diminished experience". DSC is visually lossless.

Instead, those docks use a technology called DisplayLink which has nothing to do with DSC. DisplayLink means that external monitors are basically "software" displays that are tremendously slower and often very limited in resolutions and frame rates. Having any DisplayLink display connected also breaks HDCP and can cause other problems.

I feel like windows development is riddled with this sort of thing, undocumented secrets that you just have to figure out for yourself. I wonder if it's deliberate from 1980's Microsoft being paranoid about corporate espionage or something.
Display Link is alrightish for light office work or coding. But not much else.
how does m2 neural engine performance compare with popular contemporary nvidia laptop and desktop gpus?
Well, you do. Lots of people do. I’ve never seen one become self aware though. But anyway, no, not all people are the same. Some populations of people create, initiate, prop up and then perpetuate evil cults of dogma as is the case with North Korea. Some populations never even let it get to step one. Make no mistake, the waves of political dogma lap on every shore. It’s always ready to take over. Some populations are less inclined to group think, save the children and etc. because that’s always what fuels it. I have read a couple of books about North Korea and you can believe me that North Korea was not held at gunpoint to create the regime. I also read “nothing to envy” which is a collection of memoirs written by defectors. They absolutely do it to themselves. And the multi-generational lifespan of that regime makes your point rather moot.

And Assad illustrates my point because I was watching the Syrian civil war and he very nearly did not survive. He was relegated to a bunker and when he emerged he was clearly deeply shaken and a different man. That 40 percent gave him his full moneys worth. To say that this is an example of dictators being invulnerable to dissent is incorrect. If it were 50 or 60 the scale would have tipped. It is an example of my point.
Because Google Chrome on iOS pops up asking to remember a password

There is a specific piece of x86-64 software I need for my job, a back end service. It meant there was no way for me to use an M1 Mac for my job. I wish this was available last year, maybe I could’ve upgraded to an M1 based Mac.

What has been proven is that consumers don't care about customization too much.

If they want it, they don't want it that much.
100% agree. The last generation of MacBook pros with intel processors were virtually unusable for zoom calls or any intensive processing power tasks.
Spend a few minutes talking with someone who designs hardware. Often when they release something, there are TONs of incremental improvements that they just didn't have time to get to when a new product is released.

I remember having a conversation with someone who worked on hard drives in the 80s. He got so ^%$^$# excited telling me about all the improvements he worked on between generations; they were mostly things like tighter calibrations, and refinements.

Point being: Don't knock releases like this.
