Generally won't be swapping that often I would think, but besides the point because swap with SSDs (that are as good as the ones in MBs) isn't a big performance hit like it used to be. Swap also doesn't degrade SSD lifetimes like it used to.
Codea is a really nice lua development environment for the iPad and can also be used to create App Store apps (though you need to use Xcode to build the app bundle). There are quite a few others but I think Codea is noteworthy.

Honestly the whoLe ‘I wish I could code on my iPad’ thing and complaining kids can’t learn to code on them, has been tired for a very, very long time. Many of these dev environments came out more than 10 years ago now. Being able to develop in swift and publish to the App Store directly for the device for free was announced at WWDC and released last year, but people still keep moaning about it. Pay attention people!
Ah yes, and when scientists from the nuclear power company say "this will never be a problem", the general public is totally on board, right?
Keep in mind it is traveling at 2,200 MPH so it both has an immense amount of inertia, and also travels through that turn faster than it might sound.

At speed, that is about 4 minutes to make a 90 degree turn, traveling an arc length of 160 miles.
Hey HN Community!

Just built a service I thought y'all might find interesting.

Rather than using HTML structure to scrape, I'm using GPT-3 to actually understand the text and pull information out.

You just ask for things you want from a site, for example a news article about fundraising like this:
"The name of the company that raised funding"
"Founders or CEO of the company"
"URL of the company that raised funding"
"A short description of the company"
"A list of investors"

And get back the needed data in a JSON object! It's been pretty fun to play with and I thought some of you might find interesting use cases for it.

I think it would also be very effective at parsing PDFs (same as text).
That is essentially arguing that this causes a defacto 25% increase in productivity simply by cutting down on wasted time. Again I'm skeptical, but I do see the argument.
That's what the new magsafe cable basically is. A magnetic USB-C cable that (probably) isn't garbage quality.

I'm not familiar with Prolog and this statement sounds insane. I'm not doubting you exactly, it's just not something I can concieve. Can you provide an example of a problem that would only take a few dozen lines of Prolog which would take several thousand lines in another, "normal", language?
Even back in the 1990s I had so many friends who were obsessed with the idea of running a web site from a server at home.

For most people their internet service is not that fast... If people like that got their wish they would wind up praying that their web site never gets on Hacker News, or they will after the first time it does.
I wouldn’t mind going to the office if the whole team I worked with was on site as well.

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t really give much of a shit when I’m the only one in this office while the rest of my team is all over the world. And no I’m not going to cater to their needs when it’s outside of my normal hours. Deal with it, else I will (and have).

Why don’t companies just have local teams that are nodes in the broader graph?

A fully local team in California that works on X, and interacts with team Y that’s based in Singapore, and team Z in Europe.

Each team is self sufficient and works on a piece of the work that can be done by them. In conjunction with the other teams, we get global coverage without having some dumb working hours or waste of an office.

I don’t mind going to the office, and having worked as mainly a product engineer I like whiteboarding with our Product manager and other stakeholders, or getting on calls with customers to demo something (team in the same room, read body language).

Product teams benefit the most being local and all together. It’s hard to build a great product when everyone is not in the same room. Remote might work to make a decent product, but I don’t think you can build something great.

Corbalt | Security and Infrastructure Engineer | Remote | Full Time or Contract | https://jobs.lever.co/corbalt/

Corbalt is a small group of technologists working to build better software infrastructure for government. We were part of the tech team that came in to help fix healthcare.gov and were inspired by how much everyone cared and worked hard to fix the site (from tech team members, to government contractors, and government employees), and how much progress we all made in a short time.

As we’ve continued to work with the government we focus on opportunities where we can build simple, scalable solutions to help support important government missions like helping people get health insurance (healthcare.gov) and helping ensure healthcare for vulnerable populations (Medicaid). We use innovative technology to create software infrastructure that's easy to use and develop applications that focus on addressing users core needs.

We're a small team with experience at Google, Palantir, Bell Labs, Microsoft, and Silicon Valley startups. We work remotely by default and are spread across states. We look to hire technologists who are passionate about improving public services, love working as a part of a team, enjoy consulting with clients to develop creative solutions to complex problems, and are committed to fostering a kind work environment.

Consider productivity increases over the last 40 years while workweek hours remained the same. Workers are arguably already owed a 4 day work week. The idea that they would need to be even more productive to arrive at this shorter work week is not grounded in reality.

> a poor understanding of computers would be to think that speed is all that matters.

> What good is 16GB of super fast RAM if the machine is swapping out to disk regularly?

If the swapping is fast enough not to be noticeable, then speed is all that matters. In fact, if SSDs were about as fast as RAM, we wouldn't need RAM at all!

The whole reason why we have all these layers of memory (disk, RAM, L3, L2 and L1 cache, etc) is exactly speed, nothing else. The closer to the CPU, the faster, but also more expensive.
yes. For some job functions (especially those in govt), I strongly suspect that "producitivity" is capped by factors beyond the control of employees at the bottom.
Microsoft Tablet PC came into being over 20 years ago. It worked quite well actually.

No they didn't reveal single core performance.

It is commonly assumed that M1 shares high performance Firestorm cores with A14.

It looks like Geekbench scores for A15 over A14 is about 18% in multithreaded, and 10% in single thread.

It is also very likely that the M2 uses the same Avalanche cores as in A15. So I would suspect that this translates to a 10% increase in single threaded performance between M2 and M1 as well.

Incidentally, A15 runs at around 3.2 Ghz vs 3 Ghz for A14. So the majority of the speed-up between A14 and A15 comes directly from increasing clock frequency. M1 runs at 3.2 Ghz.
I've never seen anything in the AI space that can "quickly read through the scientific literature, allowing it to learn the fundamental rules, facts, and equations of science".
Can you expand on “almost everything” and what you do to achieve that?

Is the title hyperbolic wrt this being a revolution? Maybe. Is it fair to say AI is 'ushering' a lot of new science research into existence? Absolutely.
a lot of the performance gains in rosetta 2 come from load time translation of executables and libraries. so when you run a binary on the host mac, rosetta jumps in, does a one time translation to something that can run natively on the mx processor and then (probably) caches the result on the filesystem. next time you run it, it runs the cached translation. if you're running a vm without support inside the guest for this, then you're just running a big intel blob on the mx processor and having to do realtime translation which is really slow. (worst case, you have an interrupt for every instruction, as you have to translate it... although i assume it must be better than that. either way you're constantly interrupting and context switching between the target code you're trying to run and the translation environment, context switches are expensive in and of themselves, and they also defeat a lot of caching)
As a framework owner, there's maybe two orders of magnitude difference in build quality between a mac and a framework.

The track pad and display suck for a laptop in 2022. The display has issues with calibration and resolution (understandable from where they're at right now, but still it's trash compared to an XPS or MB). The trackpad has mechanical issues that cause it to wiggle, its been reported on the forum (and personally to staff a few times) but they don't seem to have a decent way to fix it.

Its been a nightmare calibrating the touchpad to my liking, on my XPS and Macbook it has always "just worked" (even on Linux!)
I don’t know what they could be doing differently when CarPlay is activated, but I’ve never had it crash on me, and I’ve been using it almost daily for 3+ years.

MySQL 8.0.29 and Percona XtraBackup Incompatibilities
MySQL 8.0.29 extended the support for the online DDL algorithm INSTANT. Prior to 8.0.29 only adding columns to the end of the table was supported.
This new functionality required the redo log version to increase and new redo log types to be added, thus making it incompatible with older versions of the MySQL server and also older versions of Percona Xtrabackup.

And then shortly thereafter they were saying that their SSDs were getting _hammered_ with swap. Very fast swap, but constant R/W on those devices.

DSC doesn't solve the hardware limitation of only being able to drive a single external display on the M1, that's a hardware thing that cannot be changed. You have confused it with DisplayLink, which is basically another graphics card, hence why it "solves" this problem, but the experience is worse because it's CPU-intensive/software rendered.
IDK that I'd count on node shrinks to provide anywhere near the performance/power saving bumps that it used to. We are pretty close to the point were smaller nodes will mean more power consumption with the same design merely due to the fact that smaller nodes mean more leakage due to electron tunneling.
I used four generations of the MBA, including the 11" 2015. That was definitely the pinnacle of value / performance in Apple's laptop line until the M1.
We are given AWS technologies inside specially-provisioned sandboxes to teach at the university, and the courses are marketed and badged as AWS. Students get free training, certification discounts and more.

No money changes hands, but AWS provide all the tech free, sponsor AWS awards for the students, come to jobs fairs... all the while hoping that X% of those compsci students will, in the fullness of time, come to be decision-makers who choose AWS technologies for their organisations rather than Microsoft or Google.

It's the Happy Meal principle, hard at work today.
Yes, although I think a lot of the issue is generic hardware drivers that don’t necessarily configure things correctly, and it looks like the Asiago linux people are paying a lot of attention to power management, so it may end up having decent battery life too.

They're not a problem. It's simply that in countries which still allow landfills it's the most cost efficient method since fiberglass itself is very low value. You also have the trouble of that wind turbines designed 20-30 years ago didn't have recycling in mind so they.

It is a completely made up issue to allow the nuclear industry to say "what about wind turbine blades?!" trying to draw an equivalency between nuclear waste and inert fiber glass.

> The catch here is that while wind turbine blade recycling is technically possible, landfill disposal remains the most cost-efficient and accessible option in many cases.

> “Physical and material scientists can recycle blades now," Eric Lantz, wind analysis manager at National Renewable Energy Laboratory told USA TODAY in an email. "But, broadly speaking, scaling up recycling technologies will require more research and development to maximize the value of the recycled materials and improve the economics of the processes.”

They mention porting to machine learning which I assume means neural nets.
It means the car has to have it’s own UI that you can choose to replace with CarPlay, which is exactly how it works right now.

Alternatively a car could just come with the guts of an Apple TV built in to run an unconnected version of CarPlay when an iPhone is not connected.
It's not a problem in terms of speed or CPU consumption, it's a problem in terms of relevance. It's when the relevant document you are looking for is result #34 or when the relevant document doesn't appear at all.

People will say "just use Lucene, bro" but often Lucene's search ranking is awful. (I used to laugh at "just use Solr, bro" because Solr's search scales about as well as Bitcoin when you add more shards.)

As for tags that depends on people putting accurate tags on. People hate to hear it, but tags need to have an ontology behind them to be really effective. For instance there is an anime imageboard that has tags like "purple hair", "green eyes" and these are close to useless for an image that has two people in it.
For hardware specs and upgradeability yes. I have one. I love how I paid market price for third-party 4TB SSD and 64GB of RAM and not Apple's 4X market price.

For build quality I think they're still behind Asus, Lenovo, and Samsung.

Why do so many find it necessary to downvote my comment?

MediaSourceExtensions are vital for supporting media in Safari (and already available in iPadOS and MacOS [and under the hood on iOS for VP8/9 support]) and the fullscreen API for arbitrary elements is necessary to support video + slides (or other sideloaded material) and to support captions/subtitles that need features not supported with regular textracks.

> just kind of suck at p/w management.

The risk/reward ratio doesn't justify it in their lives. It's also a pernicious ratio because there is almost no way to increase the "reward" portion, just decrease "risk."

In my experience, solutions balanced on this type of ratio always fail to solve the fundamental problem. Which is why we have to have commercials that tell people "medicare will _never_ call you. If anyone calls and says they're from medicare, hang up immediately!" So, I'm assuming we can now look forward to "no one will ever call and ask for information from your key, if they do, hang up!"

I also expect a similar outcome.

I'm less sure about this as I ponder. So there is definitely such a stereotype, and there is also a long-running meme of "be a rich" (부자되세요), originated from a 2002 credit card advertisement, which cemented a notion of money being a virtue to the general public since then. The problem is that the Talmud craze definitely predates this meme, probably dating back to 1980s. But I can't conclusively say that this was nothing to do with that stereotype at that time---it might be just that jews are seen as a model minority.

Apple's proposing putting widgets in the center console. There's notably already a variety of widget games[1]. Apple does spend over a minute of their WidgetKit introduction in WWDC2020 declaring "widgets are not mini apps" but already this is a blurred line.

I decided to look into this, because the data is often a bit off, but not by this much. It turns out there was an error in the calculations.
