Just looking at the economics of the Mac Pro based on sales of the machine itself doesn't quite capture the full picture. An Apple Silicon Mac Pro could have many roles:

- A flagship product that demonstrates just how powerful Apple Silicon can be. This in turn could enhance the Apple / Mac brand for a certain group of users.

- An aspirational product for users who think that they might need more power in the future.

- A means of keeping companies that need a small number of powerful machines in the Apple camp.

- A proving ground for technology that ultimately makes its way into volume products.

All of these factors could make the product justify its development costs even if actual sales are small. I doubt that the highest end models of some premium car brands recoup their development costs but their value to the brand offsets those costs.

Are any more Flipper Zero units coming into the US?

I heard that a shipment was seized a couple months ago, maybe due to national sanctions.

(I have a Flipper Zero, but no time to play with it. Wondering whether I should sell it, or hold onto it because I won't be able to re-obtain one later.)

> And that pattern is the one that is used by GOs http libraries

I don't think that is correct. In https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34213383, I notice that Go's HTTP/2 library would write the HEADERS frame, the DATA frame, and the terminal HEADERS frame in 3 different syscalls. In a sample application using the Go's HTTP/2 library, a gRPC response without Nagle's algorithm would transmit 497 bytes over 6 packets, while a gRPC response with Nagle's algorithm would transmit 275 bytes over 2 packets.

With a starting point where both Nagle's algorithm and delayed ack are enabled, I guess this is the order of preference:

1. delayed ack disabled, applications do the right thing by buffering accordingly - ideal performance, but it is difficult to disable delayed ack, and it may require a lot of works to fix the applications.

2a. Nagle's algorithm disabled, applications do the right thing by buffering accordingly - almost ideal performance (may perform worse than #1 over bad connection), but it may require a lot of works to fix the applications.

2b. delayed ack disabled, real world applications - almost ideal performance (may have higher syscall overhead than #1), but it is difficult to disable delayed ack.

3. Nagle's algorithm disabled, real world application - not ideal as some applications can suffer from high packet overhead, e.g. git-lfs, and this is where we are at with Go.

4. baseline - far from ideal as many applications can suffer from high latency due to bad interaction between Nagle's algorithm and delayed ack.

I would say Go has made the right trade-off, albeit with a slight hint of "we know better than you". Going forward, it is probably cheaper for linux kernel to come up with a better API to disable delayed ack (i.e. to achieve #2b), than getting the affected applications to do the right thing by buffering accordingly (i.e. to achieve #1 or #2a). We will see how soon https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/5242 can be resolved.

In the mean time, #2b can actually be achieved with a "SRE approach" by patching the kernel to remove delayed ack and patching the Go library to remove the `setNoDelay` call. Something for OP to try?
A big part of DbC is that contracts are part of the public interface, not the implementation. This becomes especially important once you mesh them with Simula-style OOP, as derived classes need a way for overridden methods to widen or narrow the inherited contract.
I’ve been to two weddings (aged 35ish couples, all northerners, one location in Warsaw though) where they had Mettigel (and that was eaten a lot), and our local REWE (SH) prepares a few kg daily of fresh Mett, I don’t think that would be worth it for < 10%.

Also, the (skewing rather young) /r/de subreddit tends to look very favorably on Mettigel.
I really wonder why "continued existence of our kind" is a worthwhile life goal. Serious question.
Devs here and elsewhere desperately wanted Twitter to fail because if Elon showed it was possible to just fire half your employees and actually end up with a better product then the jobs of most people here would be at risk. Now other leaders might think like Elon and end up firing devs en masse as cost cutting in hard times. The truth is there is a lot of bloat in FAANG scale companies. If tomorrow google fired 50% of it's army of tens of thousands of engineers, it wouldn't hurt at all. Might even end up helping given they created way better products when there were less engineers than at present.
> My family personally doesn't eat anything raw because of the news reports we've read of people getting sick (or worse) after consuming raw meat, and we make sure to only eat fully cooked meat.

Surely you have access to better sources that say otherwise? You seem to be admitting that you're stuck in your ways and unwilling to try new things because of old or inaccurate news.
Well, I did read this article that said that school attendance increased youth suicide incidents between 12-18 percent. I wonder where I could find that... Oh wait, that's the thread we are talking about.
> They might like the taste of caramelised meat.

So do I, that’s why my burgers are caramelized on the outside, but that doesn’t really relate to what it looks like on the inside.
Your threshold for "controversy" is way below anybody else's.

Is it controversial whether the Earth is flat? Whether people walked on the moon? Whether they found alien spacecraft there? Whether viruses are involved in AIDS and cancers?
There is no such list, and you're entitled to feel hurt when others are manipulating you like this.

On the other hand, interested people usually ask questions. It's worth it to look out for that as a signal, but it's not going to be 100% valid.
The part of the article which explains how the smallpox vaccine was distributed around the world before cold storage and airplanes is just incredible.

1) Recruit 22 orphaned boys
2) Inject two of them with the cowpox virus (which is the actual smallpox vaccine)
3) Put all the boys on a ship leaving Spain for Venezuela
4) Scrape material from the two boy's pustules (appearing after a couple of days) and inject two more boys with that - the first two boys recover
5) Continue this daisy-chain approach until reaching Venezuela
6) Go on with people in Venezuela, arm-to-arm
7) Continue to Mexico and other places
8) Go global

And that's how you transport vaccines without fridges and airplanes
One must ask the question: why bother exploring space at all? Don't tell me it's for the spinoff technologies, those are a fringe benefit at best, and have dubious return on investment compared to more direct funding. No, it's just because we're curious. We just want to.

Eventually logical arguments about how to acheive goals bottom out at raw, built-in desire. And no matter how many silly-sounding phrasings of the goal that you come up with, the fact remains that we want to go there. We just want to.

(This is no defense of any particular extant plan. OTOH I suspect OP underestimates the value of life support tech here on earth. But these are side questions.)
Agree with you but also find animal protein to be pretty gross in general as well (having some experience with meat production). I can see how it's an acquired taste, though. Was eating/cooking dinner (including fish) with some friends a while back and a friend who is from Japan mentioned "I can't believe you're cooking that fish" which always made me laugh a bit.
Fermented tastes way better imo. My aunt makes sun fermented cucumbers with horseradish and chilies. Yummy! She washes them with hot water two times and then puts them in brine.
Reminds me of Joscha Bach’s definition of a nerd, from his Lex Friedman podcast episode:

<paraphrase>
“The definition of a nerd is someone who thinks conversation is for peer reviewing ideas.”
“What do non-nerds think conversation is for?”
“Negotiating alignment.”
</paraphrase>

A good difference to keep in mind when we want to bend parallel conversations with the alignment negotiators to intersection.
I don’t like most raw food I’ve tried, but I do like raw salmon.
Fair enough. It does show a 5 minute difference between the comments, so not instant but I recognize edits happen. It’s just that each of your edits were so wildly different.

As for your latest update, I had already mentioned that in my comment as a caveat, though I hadn’t shared the link which is always great to have.
I work for an SME in the mechanical engineering sector and when someone from the mechanics dept. has their birthday it's not unusual for them to sponsor a few kilos of Mett, Onions and bread rolls - it's all gone by the end of the day.

Wasn't any different in the institute at university, I think we're seeing differences in our bubbles.
> tbh there is no particular issue with filtering content coming from totalitarian enemies interested in destroying you.

Both sides were very much interested in destroying each other (and worked actively on that), but problem is that whenever you have bureaucrats doing censorship in the name of the national or social interests, it ends up affecting far-wider circle of (innocent) people than officially intended, and often can be misused for other (political) purposes. The main reason I even commented on this is that few days ago I've seen an East-Germany documentary on German nazis working as mercenaries in South Africa, which was banned in West Germany, even though it had nothing "communistic" or anti-western - but it touches some not-so-popular subjects on nazis and nazi supporters in West and particularly W. Germany that (although true and well documented) they didn't want people to hear about. So they censored it as "communist propaganda", no questions asked...

Eastern block certainly had a lot more censorship and oppression than West, but it's important to be aware that lots of dirty s** happened in the West too, things were never as black and white as some people like to simplify it now.
I think it would be enough for the Pro to just be the same as the highest spec of the next generation Mac Studio, in a form factor that has PCIe and RAM slots. (I wonder if they could do some kind of memory hierarchy where you have, say, 32GB of the on-board unified memory soldered on to the processor like they have now, and then another eight slots or something of regular DDR5 sticks).
It would be simpler, cheaper, and easier to build a self-sufficient habitat orbiting Mars than to live on it. Even if you could build an atmosphere the lack of a magnetosphere would just see it blown away in the solar wind, if you even still cared after your cancer had cancer from the radiation.

If you want to figure out how to live and grow crops so far underground that solar radiation doesn’t bother you, Earth is a far easier place to do that, and equally resistant to asteroid impact and equally helpless to gamma ray burst.

When big houses became to common men built mansions, when mansions became too pedestrian men built castles on the sea in the form of yachts.

There are plenty of worthwhile reasons to explore and exploit the universe beyond our atmosphere, and in time I believe we will master not only the solar system but many others like it.

The ego of men is no longer a productive driving force for that. That works when the enemy is less powerful men. When the enemy is physics only a rational, long-term, consensual commitment can prevail.
> I thought "contracts" were dropped out of C++20.

C++ compilers often implement C++ features which haven't been fully standardized yet. Either to prepare for stuff that is very likely to be in the next version, or as experimental features so that people can try them out, find potential issues with proposal, and come to conclusion of what exactly should be standardized.

Contracts were not dropped from C++20 because people didn't want the feature. But at least partially because people had very different opinions of what exactly should they do (runtime checks, documentation to library users, optimization annotation giving permission to UB if input requirements aren't satisfied, hint for optional static analyzers).
What an interesting concept - also makes me wonder how BitTorrent could be used for more de-centralizing of data, while keeping it accessible on-demand.
As a commenter in that thread suggested (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33986124), slow degradation of the value of using Twitter is a more likely outcome than a sudden "collapse". This is not contradicted by the site having stayed up, or by there being more users now than before. The engagement metrics can go up in the short term, but lead to 4chan in the long term.

I'm starting to see some degradation already -- for example, a bunch of researchers I follow fled to Mastodon, so Twitter is less useful to me than before. I think this is a second-order effect of Musk's cruel/trollish behavior and of the content moderation, sales, legal, and policy teams being gutted, functions which someone who views Twitter as a "software and services company" (his phrasing) probably see as less important.
This is great. I’ve spent some of the holidays implementing a system for managing a games backlog.

What did you use for the cover art and other data? I’ve been using the IGDB API (provided by Twitch? Maybe owned by Amazon/Twitch?), and it’s been awkward to use to say the least.
I’ve seen him on the Discord server for Unleashed firmware. I don’t think he hates it?
Silly idea: could they put a M-series processor connected to a Xeon as a coprocessor to get the “benefits” of both wrt. adding their NPU stuff? Would that even make any sense?
This Twitter thread is mostly a summary of this article, which provides more detail, albeit maybe in a less easily digestible (ha!) form:

https://medium.com/torodex/salmon-sushi-is-not-a-japanese-in...

The thread is actually wrong on the campaign cost, which might be attributable to the AI-powered summarisation the tweet author boasts about. Norway spent 30m kroner (NOK) on the campaign, which is about $3.75 million instead of the $30m the tweet claims. And the thread misses out the potential return on investment: Norwegian salmon imports to Japan went from 400 million NOK before the campaign, to 1.8 billion NOK in the second half of the 80's.
A hardware wallet is a physical device that stores some private keys in a tamper-proof secure element. Those private keys can be regenerated from a recovery phrase[1] which acts as a seed to regenerate the keys in a deterministic way.

The hardware device is typically itself secured by means of a pin. Without the pin, the device can’t be unlocked so can’t be used, too many incorrect pin attempts will brick the device.

So the answers to your questions are:

1) If you entrust it to a safe deposit box then if someone steals it, it is worthless without the pin.

2) If the safe is itself destroyed and with it the device (this is also the case if you have it in a safe deposit box and the depository is burned down or something) then the private keys (and transitively the funds) can still be recovered using the recovery phrase. So if you have securely stored your recovery phrase and are able to retrieve it even this kind of problem won’t cause the accounts to be lost.

So what people tend to recommend is choosing good secure storage for your pin, keeping reasonable physical care of the device, taking the recovery phrase and splitting it into parts and storing those parts separately. If one of the parts is destroyed then you will need to urgently replace the hardware wallet, move the funds and securely store the new recovery phrase because if not you don’t have a fallback if the hardware wallet is destroyed, but otherwise you are good.

What an fascinating concept. I guess this won't be useful for any kind of realtime feedback system, though?
it feels very different. back then my 'profiles' were avatars, virtual personas, and people were careful to never dox themselves. Now the proportions are reversed
Just last week I visited Eise Eisinga’s planetarium in Franeker, The Netherlands (https://www.planetarium-friesland.nl/en/). Finished in 1781, he used only wood and nails to fit an intricate and quite accurate orrery in the ceiling of his fairly modest house. This Instructable is very enticing!

I can relate to this argument in principle. Building base here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_of_Inaccessibility_resear... for example would be a great exercise for building base on Mars.

We could learn great things, and maybe reuse technology for going on Mars.
Yep, extremely laggy, makes it impossible to type correctly at a decent speed (100+)
It took until I was well into adulthood to come to that realization.

I've come to enjoy the feeling of having had a good idea to contribute, but seeing that the situation doesn't call for my input, and just letting the moment pass. It's fun to have ideas, and it's fun to figure out whether or not it is the right moment to make your contribution.
https://encyclopediaofmath.org/wiki/Nomography

>A branch of mathematics in which methods of graphical representation of functional dependencies are studied. The resulting designs are called nomograms. Every nomogram is constructed for a definite functional dependence within specific limits of variation of the variables. In nomography computational work is replaced by the performance of the simplest geometric operations indicated in the instructions and an evaluation of the answers.

>The accuracy of answers by nomography depends on the form of the nomographic presentation of the dependency, the limits of variation of the variables, the dimension of the design, and on the chosen type of nomogram. On the average, nomograms can provide answers to 2–3 true digits. When the accuracy of nomograms is insufficient, they can be used for provisional calculations, for finding zero-order approximations, and for the control of computations with the aim of discovering gross errors.

>Nomograms can also be used to study functional dependencies, putting the nomograms at their foundation. Often such a study can be carried out by nomograms in a considerably simpler and more intuitive way than by other methods. By means of nomograms one can investigate the influence of various variables on the required variable, give an intuitive interpretation of some previously known properties of the dependency in question, and establish previously unknown peculiarities of it. Nomographic methods of investigation can be applied, for example, in problems on the selection of parameters in empirical formulas on the results of observations, in the approximation of one function by another, and for finding extremal values of functions.
The biggest issue is it’s not an SDR. So reverse engineering protocols will be much harder. At least that’s my understanding. Still, I have really enjoyed using it. UX is great as he says.
Far more likely to me is that bringing libc++ up to C++20 standards isn't important for google3. Carbon is a O(10y) project, not a O(3y) project.

* absl strings provides the same compile-time guarantees that <format> does
* absl date/time libs have integrations with the proto time types
* google3 has many threading & synchronization primitives that it prefers over the STL types (all of which already has integrations with fleet-wide performance monitoring and other toolchain customizations, e.g. deadlock detection), so there isn't much reason to move the threading libraries forward
For the law, intent usually matters. If you help someone who has the intention to die, then that's assisted suicide. But people can accept any level of danger they please, as long as they intent to survive the ordeal. The actions might be the same, but the intent is different.
Cooked salmon, like cooked oyster (without condiments) actually stinks. Only the raw version makes sense.
In the anglophone West, most pickled products contain vinegar, even when they're labelled "kosher style", so it's simply the only term that many people are familiar with. In US, some aren't even aware that you can ferment veggies in brine.
I admire their style. Explicit in feeling, resolve conflict right away, hold no grudges. Reminds me of the genuine interaction among children or chimpanzee politics [1], where upon resolving conflicts, everyone are friends again (chimpanzees are more nuanced but still).

Of course, alcohol too.

I think parent is refering to wildly crazy nonexistent environment standards back then, like doing surface tests of nuclear weapons.
You need a big centrifuge where you can live or at least sleep and do physical exercises. It should eliminate the health problems caused by low gravity.
It came out that the 700 "accepted" were those prepared to pay. Not for the trip, notably, but for more PR.

Volunteering to be taken in by a transparent con job is a poor criterion.
Do those arguments really hold up though? I get that these devices are sort of the “messenger” in “don’t shoot the messenger”, but still. Security is about appropriate security. A general teenager or thief wanting to cause issues would not know what to do with an SDR and laptop, versus something like the Flipper making it point and click. So now that something is made so readily available, we need to increase the cost and complexity of various locks?

I’m not arguing for or against anything here, but what I am arguing is that the discussion seems more nuanced.

Is there an easy solution to improve locks on cars?

We have literally millions of years to prepare for that. Mars isn't a stepping stone, Mars is a stretch goal. A few hundred or even thousand years sooner or later is a rounding error in the kind of timeframe you're talking about.

At the current rate we don't have to wait for the sun to kill us, climate change will do that first. Sure, it might not be an extinction level event but societal collapse requires much less than that. Disruption of the supply chains needed to maintain a Mars colonization program requires even less than that.
Well, is there any alternative?
