Haven't seen anyone mention a non-DOE lab, so figured I'd weigh in.

I interned twice with MIT Lincoln Labs, which among other things, helped build and deploy Radar for WWII which turned into building/managing the technology for Air-Traffic Control, and then turned towards space.

They are primarily a DOD-associated research lab (even located on an US Air Force Base), and so most of the projects have some military-oriented mission. Their mission is entrepreneurial-minded (which I found cool), in that they do the "basic research" and prototyping to prove viability and then the DOD turns over the project to a contractor to make feasible.

While I was there I worked in their GeoIntelligence and Natural Language groups, doing research which I'd ultimately come to understand as being relevant for Project Maven (year 1) and PRISM (year 2). While I'm sure as an intern my contributions weren't directly related to or otherwise leveraged for these programs, in hindsight it was clear that this was the bigger picture that the work was contributing to. Take from this what you will.

Most of the anecdotes that I've read through in the comments mirrors my experience. However, one thing I see missing was how opportunity was "metered" out. Each group I was in was organized like a research lab and the level of your academic progression limited (or opened) your ability to get access to specific projects/work. Their pay scale was also dictated based on this as well. So if you have a BS, your ability to "move up", doesn't exist, but it does if you have PhD.

Ultimately, I was given an offer to work there, but ended up taking a SWE position in the Bay Area because I wasn't interested in continuing my education and felt like my ability to have a career progression at MITLL would have necessitated that.
I think this is a stretch: consumers understand that advertisements for food do not literally represent the material conditions of what they get at Burger King (compare, for example, any number of ridiculous advertisements where the food flies around in front of the camera).

This is different from Tesla (or any other automotive advertiser), where an ad that shows the car driving itself might reasonably be considered a claim that the car can, in fact, drive itself.
At what point does this fraud count as lying to shareholders?
Surely these are either much more expensive or much lower resolution though?
I've noticed that the base model has more cores than the base M1 one. For the same amount of money!

> Intel hasn’t exactly been innovating in the last 2 years.

What on earth are you talking about?! Alder Lake was a huge step up for Intel, and Raptor Lake has improved things more than I would have expected as well. Before Alder Lake, Intel's CPUs honestly sucked. AMD still seems to have a modest competitive advantage in terms of efficiency and battery life (making AMD not that far off from where Apple is in hours of practical battery life when doing something other than looking at a static screenshot for hours on end), but Intel makes up for that with performance, and as I recall, Alder Lake is still more efficient than what Intel had before in laptops.

Sapphire Rapids is also a huge innovation compared to what Intel had been doing for years in the server market. Intel has also been introducing some really interesting GPU products now to bring competition to AMD and Nvidia, but it will probably take another generation or two to iron things out. If none of that is "innovation", then I don't know what is!

The last 2 years are the first time Intel has really been innovating in the past 5+ years!

When M1 came out, it was awesome. Since then, Intel and AMD have released processors that are significantly more competitive, while M2 was a mediocre step forward. I appreciate my M2 MBA, but Apple Silicon needs a huge upgrade with M3 to remain competitive.

For a lot of legitimate use cases, there are at least half a dozen Windows laptops coming out right now that I would instantly pick over a MacBook, and the same would not have been said 2 years ago.
I’m not sure it follows, eg, a lot of radiation will give you cancer but a minuscule amount may boost health by stimulating an immune response that is overall protective.

I could similarly see a single shot of alcohol per week not significantly taxing your system and ending as a net benefit due to, eg, triggering cellular cleanup that also removes accumulated junk.
Yeah, I get that it’s a reflection of the state of things but it doesn’t make it any less disheartening. I just expect every new generation of their products to come with a £100-400 price jump now.

Or, in the case of the iPads last time round, a price jump for the exact same product.

Nice hardware.

Too bad I can never put it in one of the industrial machines my startup builds, as these Apple computers are completely oriented towards end-consumers, locked with an AppleID, etc. in summary totally useless from a builders perspective.

It is quite sad that top tech companies nowadays produce mostly consumer electronics.
The incentives have really fallen apart in technology. You have a world of people relying on services they don't pay for because 'ads', equipment they don't own because of 'subscriptions', and middlemen between every interaction we have with each other taking a dollar and policing the discourse. Unhealthy in all respects.
I'm a heavy drinker and what I've read about alcohol and sleep says that it's bad for your sleep, in particular the quality of REM sleep. Anecdotally I can back that up with my own experience, as I drink before I go to sleep.

However, it's much easier to fall asleep after you've been drinking, but that's just because alcohol is a nerve depressant anyway.

> It sold social status to wealthy customers rather than basic transportation to an abandoned market.

I thought their plan explicitly was to start with low-volume, high-margin exotic cars (the Roaster), followed by the slightly higher-volume luxury car (Model S), then progressively going towards higher-volume, lower-priced cars, with each step funding the development of the next.

> I say this because I interpret Tesla'a nonstop obsession with self driving as an admission they're in a race they will lose

You don't need to interpret there; it's one of the few things Musk has been relatively consistent and forthright in admitting to. EV technology alone is not a very wide competitive moat, it was clear that other OEMs would be able to catch up to it. The mechanical and electrical engineering required is not a big challenge for the supply chain and a lot of the components were already available off-the-shelf.

I believe he has said something similar to "without Autopilot Tesla is worthless" or some sort of dramatic statement like this - it's supposed to be their competitive moat going forward, so there's a lot, no pun intended, riding on it and making the market believe it's going well.

This is doubly true because Tesla is arguably not doing great at scaling out the stuff that makes the other OEMs be able to participate in the overall industry business model. Tesla has made very impressive strides in bootstrapping and building out a volume production network etc., but what other OEMs do in having stable and predictable schedules and refresh cycles for a number of underlying platforms and car lines is still a very different ball game. Just look at how long in the tooth the S/X and even the 3 are getting without a full makeover or how long the Cybertruck is taking. Also a full refresh cycle of the factory network when you switch from one carline gen to another etc. is a milestone Tesla still has to manage.
Well MagSafe (the macbook charger one) is closer to USB-C in almost every way than it is to Wireless charging. I think it's just basically a different usb-c connector with a magnet attached.
Cynic in my wonders if they finally have an 8k display they are ready to sell then.

The previous Macs supported so many 5k/8k display at once, they arguably should be able to drive a single 8k display, technically.

Example, Mac Studio supports up to 4 x 6k displays AND 1 4k at once.
So that is 4 x 18M pixels + 8M pixels = 80M pixels

8k displays are 32M pixels, so Mac Studio is arguably already able to push 2x that many pixels...

Or maybe it's related to the HDMI chipset they chose specifically until now.
Maybe so, that's probably why:

Because they’re serving ads. They don’t want you clicking on a link that takes you to an external site. They don’t care about you reading primary material and forming your own opinion, either. They want to shape your thought and they want you to click their ads.
I'd recommend taking it into an Apple store and asking them about it. I don't think I've ever in my life seen an SSD with less than 80-90% life left.

Something has to have gone wrong for it to have burned up 95% of it's life in ~5 years of normal usage.
This is a very interesting idea, I'm sure it isn't going to happen, and while I won't quite promise I won't use it, I'm going to be very reluctant and slow to do so, for several reasons:

1. Imagine having a device that simply did whatever you needed, only, physically. Would you use? It would be hard not to. But the resulting atrophy would be very dangerous to you. There is a certain amount of effort you need to exert on your own, or you will lose the ability to exert any effort. But your effort is what you're getting paid for....

2. Extensive use of this tool would impact its own effectiveness, by depriving it of training data. It would eventually stereotype you into a rut, whether you liked it or not. This would be the equivalent of an over-stereotyped recommendation list for YouTube or TikTok, only converted into my work life. Not necessarily a good idea.

3. This would give more power than I particularly care for over to the person designing this tool. Defaults have a lot of power as it is; witness the power of the default search engine in a browser. Putting my entire computer life at the disposal of someone else's choice of defaults like that is even worse, especially with the amount of "intelligence", artificial or otherwise, that would be deployed in the choices. Yes, yes, in a perfect world it would just neutrally do what you want and the person developing it would simply ethically resist all offers to skew the answers for profit. In reality, well, basically, lol, no, that's not what will happen.

All that said, like I said, it is going to happen. Though it will take more than 12-18 months. It is not completely clear how to map a "language model" to this task, and I think it will take longer. (I mean "not completely clear" straight. I don't mean that as a rhetorically-lightened "I don't think it's possible"; I think it is. However, I suspect the stupid obvious ideas will need significant refinement before they work, and the development cycle is going to need some time to go around the loop a few times.) Also, this would be a lot easier if we lived in a world where something like Appletalk was still alive and everything was able to be interacted with in such a standard way. While the ML task for a tool like this is nontrivial, most likely the bulk of the work by person-hour is going to be hooking it to all the bespoke APIs and GUI automation and all the other crap work of trying to get this to work with actual tools correctly. (I mean, it's darned near "reimplementing Appletalk, except from the outside and without help from the OS vendor this time".)
It's not just humanity, it is all of life. It is possible that complex multicellular life does not exist anywhere else in the universe.

Almost everyone agrees that life, not just human life is important and meaningful.

Another way to look at it is consider the opposite bet. Suppose that you could improve every Earth organism's life by 10%, but at the cost of requiring all life to stay on a single volcanic island in Hawaii. Would you ever take that bet?
Runs the make job in parallel on remote machines but maintains state about file accesses in order to detect order problems and dynamically reruns the build healing the problem in real time. Then writes out the correct build order so that subsequent builds can be arbitrarily parallel.

It was/is a clever combination of remotely running jobs, understand the Makefile DAG of what needs to be built and observing file system accesses to detect when the DAG doesn't reflect the files that are actually accessed (and therefore cause parallelism problems).

The initial version was built by a small group of people led by me and John Ousterhout.

I haven't checked, but don't think I've missed a single day in almost a decade. It's basically the first thing I do when I sit down at the computer in the morning. I'm sure there are a handful of exceptions where I was on a 18h flight or something :D

My thought is: if I have to force myself or keep forgetting it, the system isn't working. So if I was constantly forgetting to log, I'd find some way to make the system more accessible/remind me. But I don't have that problem.

At one point I was tracking 6+ daily things, most of them completely unimportant, and I realized this was making me be less diligent, largely because it felt like most of the values didn't matter at all. So I stopped tracking factors I don't consider important and consider them "mental clutter."
"For Java, the latest one. Current latest java still runs 20 year old jars."

Not necessarily anymore. Many of the standard JVM features were removed in 11+ instances, so things like _some_ of the JVMs JMX APIs were removed for one reason or other. I'm not saying the removals weren't justified, simply clarifying that not all java applications written N years ago are still entirely supported.

I haven't, but outside the DoE (but still in national lab land) my brother worked at APL and I interviewed there (after hearing all the praise he had for it). I loved interviewing with them. Everyone, even when they severely outclassed my own education level (I have a bachelor's in journalism and am a self-taught software engineer, and I was talking to a couple of PhDs with many years of experience), were super personable, humble, and passionate about their area of expertise. They made me feel like I was already part of their team even when I was just interviewing (they even went out of their way to make international interviewing work since I live abroad). If they'd made me an offer, I almost certainly would have taken it. Great people and by far the best interviewing experience I've ever had (though in retrospect, interviewing for a position requiring clearance while living abroad was probably an uphill battle).

As others have said, the work was highly self-directed. As for the need for software engineers, it was definitely there according to my brother. The scientists he worked with were capable in their field, but they needed someone capable of translating their models into something that would execute on a computer. I don't know what exactly he worked on, of course, but he's an ML specialist and was pretty interested in CUDA programming around that time, so maybe that's a clue what kind of skills he was applying.

Anyway, maybe something to check out similar to the DoE network.
On a very separate case, I was also very annoyed by this on one of the recent-ish mass shooters, I think the Buffalo guy.

I saw a million articles talking about his manifesto calling him a radical socialist and picking out some quotes and then others calling him a radical conservative and picking out some quotes. All while not providing links to said manifesto with a kind of proclamation of "we don't want to share his ideas" (except they already did with the quotes). Really it just sounded like they didn't trust me not to kill a bunch of people if I read such a "dangerous" document because it was so compelling.

When I eventually found it, all it really turned out to be was the ramblings of a clearly not well adjusted mind. It seemed to me like the motivation for not linking it was more likely that they didn't want me to realize that whatever conclusions they decided to draw were totally unfounded because the document was complete nonsense.

Boohoo, someone decided not to let their creation be used to spread election misinformation or scaremonger about trans people.

How our society treats alcohol and tobacco is fascinating to me. Alcohol is known to cause all sorts of terrible health outcomes, yet our society glorifies it's consumption. Getting hammered in college / university is seen as a right of passage. Ads for alcohol are filled with sexy cool people drinking and partying. Our media portrays drinking as cool. Many people could not fathom having a celebratory moment without alcohol.

This was exactly where we were with tobacco in the 1950s. Ask a random person today if they think that efforts done to curb tobacco usage we're "good" they would probably say yes. We agree that glorifying tobacco consumption was bad. Attempts to brand tobacco as cool through figures as Joe Camel are viewed as stupid, we are much smarter and more enlightened now. Yet we don't apply the same critical lens to a Budweiser commerical where a guy pops open a bottle and is immediately surrounded by cool friends and beautiful women.
Until very recently, MacBooks were famously stuck with 720p webcams. So from that perspective 1080p is a feature worth mentioning

In any case, I personally don't really care how much fine detail my friends and coworkers can see when I'm talking with them. If I were a streamer or something I might care, but those people probably have dedicated hardware. I think for the average person 1080p is enough
This is the thing that's so tricky about... well, I guess the way our world models in general work.

Is drinking bad for you? Yup. Is smoking bad for you? Yup.

Is moderate social drinking bad for you? Likely, but definitely less bad for you than slamming a 6-pack nightly.

Are there other (mainly socially-mediated) health benefits from moderate social drinking? Plausibly? Probably? Occasional social smoking? Probably in some contexts.

If these effects both exist, they can be compared. Do the risk curves intersect? Where? The crossover will land in different places for different people, different circumstances.
