The Apple silicon chips handle ram consumption differently. Maybe it’s the ssd speed but I hadn’t had an 8Gb ram computer since I bought a MacBook Pro in 2011 that supported 16gb and I have 64gb of ram in my windows desktop. I really don’t hit a wall with the M1 over ram. It’s an incredible machine but YMMV, especially if you use virtualization.
I don't own my friends, but I'd nonetheless hate to lose them.
Concede? Debate? Since you linked to pseudo-philosophical mindholes such as LessWrong I suppose it's only natural you would see it as a debate. I will no longer reply since your worldview is irreconcilable with learning and understanding beyond "I am right/less wrong, you are (infinitely) wrong".

Again, you have no idea what you are talking about, as you admitted you are not familiar with the planarian worm organism and regeneration research, and it's not a problem, we are all ignorant about various things, that's why we learn: too bad your learning appetite has been a casualty to the illusion of LessWrong "rationalism". Nevertheless, it is really funny to see you being "rational" and speculating upon things you have no understanding and no desire to learn about. I really laughed reading your now deleted comment starting with "Zero is not a probability."

Just to make it clear for anyone else who might read this: it is impossible to throw a ball in the air and see it flying in the air forever. There is 0% chance of that ever happening. There are no "laws of probability" to be violated in this "experiment". Just the same, when you amputate a planarian worm head, regardless if you did it once, never, or 100,000 times before, it will always 100% regenerate a head, if you, the experimenter, haven't altered the bioelectrical gradients of the worm [1]. The planarian worm regeneration is still being researched and it is revealing biology as a deterministic computation in the morphospace with abilities far exceeding what we currently can muster with our CPUs.

There is no such thing as "the" top-level goal, so that use case doesn't work: if someone does a parallel build of multiple "top-level" goals the package goal will still need to do something reasonable. To make this work you need multiple package goals, maybe using a pattern goal, and then the package--which sounds like the thing he user was actually trying to get--is going to be an ultimate goal, not whatever you previously thought was the "top-level" one.

Regardless: I haven't tried it yet, but I saw in a changelog that a recent version of make added .WAIT, which sounded like it does what you want.
This is something that's up to the community really. The PyPy developers early on made a new FFI that is also available for CPython, sadly not entirely as easy as the classic API but completely functional and if there was a push to rewrite extensions to use that FFI (or provide dual-paths) then the gap could be bridged.
There is a fundamental limit to how far we can (and will ever be able to) see, but as far as we know, it is galaxies forever in every direction.
I've had my 2.4 TB Photos library on external solid-state storage for six years now with no issues. Four years were via a laptop and so the drive was only connected when needed (to import photos into it or to back it up). The remaining two have been with it permanently tethered to a Mac mini. Of note is that I don't use iCloud Photos, though. Not sure how macOS would handle things if I did. If you had it always connected I bet it'd be seamless. If not, probably There Be Dragons. IIRC back in the days when I didn't have my Photos drive always connected, macOS would occasionally instantiate a fresh Photos library in ~/Pictures on the internal drive for Photo Stream (which I have turned on) photos.
I assumed this meant selling EoL EV batteries back to providers who convert them into grid storage.

An EoL EV battery still has a decade or more of life as a grid-scale battery.
Only one question, does it produce more CO2 than it captures?
A 1950s or 1960s 1200-1400 sq ft rambler on 0.15-0.25 acres goes for 4x the median income in my metro area in the middle of the road suburbs, 3x in more impoverished areas for a comparable house from the 1920s and 5x for a comparable 1970s-1980s home in nicer areas.

To top it off, mortgage interest rates doubled and prices have not dropped.
It's an option you can use when invoking `make` - so no need to specify extra cmake options, just during `make` invocation after `cmake` is already done
I'm sorry, but did you actually use Stadia? For many, including myself, latency was minimal and not a problem at all for the tons of story based games (Red Dead Redemption 2, Hitman, various Assassin's Creeds).

It wasn't DOA, it was killed by Google's poor marketing, strategy and reputation (which could have been compensated if they had done the first two right).

PR wise to who though? I don't think any of Microsoft's customers actually care. For developer hiring yeah it will hurt their PR, but at the end of the day sorry to say devs tend to go where the pay is highest irrespective of PR.
> people with their finger on the missile trigger knew the aircraft was no threat due to radar and visual interceptions and decided not to launch a dangerous missile

I don't think we have evidence of this. The simple truth is the U.S. government doesn't fortify against domestic enemies in a systematic way.
> FT-104's binding constant (Ki) for the 5HT2A receptor is 120 nM, which indicates a potency similar to psilocybin

> The elimination of FT-104 from the bloodstream has a half-life (t1/2) of 40min, which compares to psilocybin with a half-life on the order of 120min

> FT-104 will likely produce a reliably short-duration of psychedelic experience in the range of two to four hours, which is approximately half the duration of psilocybin

Pretty interesting to imagine a shrooms-like experience in a shorter time window. I could see a future where these are served at bars/dispensaries like cocktails
The question I asked was how the approach Mercedes is taking actually works. Does it use LiDAR? Does it rely on pre-programmed maps? I'm asking for technical details, not normative statements.

An example is efficient prime-field arithmetic:

> If A happened to be larger than C, and therefore the result of the subtraction underflowed, then we can correct for this by adding p to the result. [...] we can multiply B by 2^32 using a binary shift and a subtraction, and then add it to the result. We might encounter an overflow, but we can correct for that by subtracting p.

(Highlighting the parts that relate to reacting to overflow.)
Need we play such language games? It's "ad blocking". People use those extensions to block ads.

If you asked the average user about their privacy preserving add-on, or their content blocker they would probably be confused.

Yes, obviously I understand the privacy dimensions of advertising, and I realize that this is all in the service of the good guys and against the bad guys, but that shouldn't affect our response to what seems to me to be unnecessary spin.
In that case, here's a simpler version for you that eliminates historical complexity:

The left sometimes shits on employees but does support some measures to help workers. The right never supports measures to help workers.
Is there a similar analysis for the impact on (Republic of) Korea?

From the article:

Any browser supporting WebUSB should work. Chromium works, Brave works too I believe.

Firefox and Safari don't support WebUSB because they don't use a Blink-based engine. iOS browsers also won't work because they're Safari under the hood (as all browsers must be under current iOS rules, though that may change soon).
I think A chips were quite considerably ahead of low-power Intel chips (e.g. the i7 in MBA) several years before M1 was released. But I guess they didn't believe they could scale it up to compete with higher power i7/i9s shipped in pro macbooks.

Imagine the government draining your tank at the gas station instead of filling it.
How did BritishVolt go bankrupt then?
No, not at all. I enjoyed it but my wife had a different expectation of completion date than I. My advice is to get the tools, don't shortcut, so that you have confidence at each step.

Stuff I had already specific to HVAC:

-R-410a manifold, gauges, and hoses.

Stuff I went out and bought:

-Nitrogen tank pressure regulator and hose for HVAC.

-Mandrel pipe bender

-Flaring tool

-Micron vacuum gauge

-A slightly better copper pipe cutter and deburring tool.

Stuff I rented/borrowed:

-Vacuum pump from Autozone. Free. It was plenty big enough for a minisplit.

-Full nitrogen cylinder rental from Airgas.

Things I'm glad I did:

-Used a wall mount instead of a pad for the compressor unit. Unit stays clean.

- Pressure testing with nitrogen. It's worth the money and effort to know up front it doesn't leak.

-Followed a more thorough procedure for vacuuming/drying which involves vacuuming down several times and flushing with nitrogen. I got a much better vacuum after subsequent flushes.
What about Cuba then, can we leave them alone?
yeah, i said that in the comment you responded to, second sentence.
The question really is if the US will continue to fight by proxy like with Ukraine or take an active role.

The CCP has been preparing for a long time. They know the real battle is one of public opinion and policy making in the US. The big resounding lesson from Ukraine is that an invasion must be swift and overwheling with careful logistical planning as well as PR and anti-sanction measures.

The worst possible thing China can do is attack a US target like a ship or a plane. It will be like pearl harbor, losing all that precious intel network capacity in the US along with US voter's opinions.

All of Europe and Asia can combine forced and will still likely lose against the US military in any conflict. But even the smallest nation can win if they manage to change americans' opinions.

Efficiency and productivity raise standards of living. There are no perpetual motion machines or free lunches.

Nominally this is what is being aimed for. Only nominally though as others have pointed out. In reality probably mostly politically motivated pandering and punishment like most partisan activity.
Pet peeve of mine: The lifetime exemption limit is absolutely critical information to include when talking about the gift tax in any context because otherwise people take it to mean something completely incorrect. In my experience, the yearly limit being the limit before taxes kick in is one of the most common misconceptions about gift taxes and your comment above basically phrasing it as "maximum allowable gift amount each year" continues this misconception.

I don't mean to be hostile, but I really think its much better phrasing the limit as ~$12 million before being taxable, and just mentioning that you have to report it on your taxes above a certain limit in a given year and that it eats into a lifetime ~$12 million exemption. I basically see people get this wrong any time they mention it on the internet or in real life. I can see though in writing this it does get a bit confusing to say succinctly.
> Integer overflow isn't a security issue unless your program's memory safety depends on the correctness of the integer operation.

That's simply not true and has wide-reaching horrible effects that can occur. The wrong number of tickets can be purchased from a website, charging for less than were purchased. The DNR order can be put in place instead of SAVE LIFE. There are countless security issues that can occur.

Saying that integer overflow is only an issue for memory safety is really bad and incorrect advice.
CS students are about to get a lot more popular there ("Hey, can you help me set up one of them 'VPN' things?")
Just pass it when you invoke it.

cmake -G'Unix Makefiles' -S $SRC_DIR -B $BUILD_DIR

One way would be not using "cmake --build" but invoking make directly yourself after calling CMake.
Modern cars are safer in a crash and much more efficient. However the experience of sitting inside one, the everyday experience of using one is worse in nearly every single respect except for how much you pay at the gas station. And crash safety is the sort of advantage you hope to never experience.

Apple tied its fortunes to China
That looks nice! Didn't know such things exist before.

However the tiny Argon bottle does not give me much confidence.
If I were hiding from a state actor I'd use a high-bandwidth communications medium like video. In another life I worked for a large live streaming service, the infrastructure required to process terabits of video is mind-boggling in size, extremely technically challenging, and usually involves custom built ASICs and hardware that's expensive and in short supply.

Even with the NSA's budget and infrastructure, I don't think it's technologically feasible for them to decrypt and then semantically process or store that much content. Video is also the vast majority of traffic on the Internet so it would be trivial to hide in plain sight with some creativity (Using stenography to hide content in the video) With 4k you can pack a ridiculous amount of information into even a single frame, and that's one frame among hundreds of thousands, among billions of videos.
We can only see a finite distance. QED as far as we know, we don't know it is galaxies forever in any given direction.
Taiwan is part of China. The USA also hypocritically recognize that.
My contribution to two open-source projects in recent years has involved a transition to the use of safe arithmetic, too.

I think it makes a lot of sense to think about. Ultimately, it matters more in some applications than in others.

Even if retail doesn't care, the news would matter to large customers, job candidates, existing employees, and investors. Acquisition targets as well.
Love subsidizing public infrastructure directly as well as paying taxes!
Another approach to look at this:

- They are experimenting more aggressively.
- Depends on what features you build and time that it take to build those.
- How much can you afford to delay the tech debt.

When the CEO is focused on rolling out features faster, everyone rallies behind. Does it mean the company is operating great. End of 2023 will be a good indicator.

Also note that recent tooling around LLMs (eg. ChatGPT) will improve aggregate efficiency.
That this is still only an academic rumbling / home of the future[0] talk speaks volumes about how out-of-touch global finance remains.

They did, they always said that they would refund the games if the service shut down, but i guess they didn't make it clear enough, marketing was horrible and onboarding / interface was awful. It's crazy how amazing the service was, but how terrible they handled everything else.
> It seems that Apple's ridiculously impressive consistent year-on-year gains up the M1 were in large part possible because they were behind the state of the art.

I was nodding along about M2 being a minor bump over M1, but I'm not even sure what you mean here. Apple previously used Intel processors - how is Intel not caught up with Intel?

Apple was key to many many computing technology adoption - USB, Thunderbolt, even early WiFi. Now that they're making their own desktop processors and entire SoC, I think they can move in ways that are not constrained by Intel or other players. It's possible we see the laptop market move more like the smartphone market.
That seems unnecessarily dismissive, how many people said in 1942 that Germany would never succeed in invading France?

As far as I am aware Japan doesn't have a particularly large standing military, and isn't that far away. Meanwhile the Chinese could, and probably would, be willing to drown the entire island in human wave tactics.
I wonder how the residents of Taiwan feel about this.
I highly recommend it- the culture is much better than academia or industry in my opinion, having experienced all three. You get to work on big projects that directly target big problems in the world, with the best equipment and facilities in the world. There is less politics vs academia, and less careerism- people mostly love what they are doing, and are excited about it. Generally great benefits, pay, and work-life balance.

Also, the national labs model gives you a chance to work on big teams with people from diverse backgrounds, which is a lot of fun. For example, a software engineer may find themselves working day to day with physicists, biologists, etc. and learning enough about these fields over time to make novel contributions to them.
I don't think the parent was discussing who should have influence, just the consequences of it.
It’s not so bad if you are in fact walking most places and spending less time in a car. True it’s better than commuting somewhere far, but if you compare to living without a car in an urban core, it’s unlikely your footprint is smaller. Especially if you now live in a 3,500 square foot detached single story home that consumes a lot of heating energy, whereas in a city you’d have say 1,500 square feet with two shared walls and a shared ceiling/floor (basically you have a larger footprint based on insulation and exposed surface area).

The problem is most US towns and suburbs are not set up to be core walkable, dense places, where you don’t even need a car to get home. There are exceptions (I can think of some Hudson Valley towns on train stations, where their core has mixed use multi-story attached housing), but that’s not the norm and is generally discouraged via zoning.
There are plenty of reporting on China in the western media that just reports..you know...news. You can spot check whatever china-related articles are showing on western media specific pages (assuming you aren't in China and therefore are blocked from those sources, of course):

https://www.nytimes.com/topic/destination/china

https://www.wsj.com/news/types/china-news?mod=nav_top_subsec...

Just browsing the headlines, most of the stories are boring reports and wouldn't incite outrage even in a wolf warrior. But those aren't the ones that get shared around as anti-chinese articles, so...you know...selection bias.

It would be interesting to have a UI that lets them say that they don't want to be next to X, or they do want to be next to Y, and they pay different prices to appear next to more/less popular things.
I did the same thing this New Years. Blocked email, safari, all non-important applications. Kept things like: message, fb messenger, fitbit, camera, etc.

seems like a ponzi scheme
Or, it means that they didn't forsee the economy going down to the extent it has. Corporate finances work like any large investment company. How much cash do you have on hand, how much is it earning per year, what is your revenue.

If you suddenly are getting 10% less from investments and possibly less from revenue due to a severe economic downturn, then you need to save 10% in costs somewhere, and for tech companies people are always the biggest cost.

There is no conspiracy here. You may wish that these large companies would have seen a recession coming, but that's not a very realistic wish.
Or save a step and don’t hire them to begin with.
Energy price volatility will probably increase because natural sources are more volatile and other sources have spin up / down cycles. A car battery is like 3-4 days of continuous house usage. The car battery being used to top off the top 10% in short term pricing for energy would give a very nice ROI I expect. The rest is software? Don’t overcharge, don’t go under the limit I set for continuous availability as a mode of transport. And that’s all within reach in front of the meter, thus under my ownership. Heck, without self driving becoming common a family might even have 2 EVs on the driveway, giving a week of off grid potential.

Come to think of it - a harder part is how super local the grid is and energy pricing should become. In my somewhat affluent neighborhood in high summer the voltage rises too high and the supply of solar falls. And tragedy of the commons - we are still installing solar because it’s massively incentivized (2 years before investment returns itself). To solve this with EVs requires very granular prices. There might be clouds 50 km away. But again, those are software solvable issues. (I’m not holding my breath. It’s like IoT-superplus.)
Slowly, then suddenly.
Sure, that is a risk. I'm just saying that I'd rather wait until that point where we actually see AIs making poor attempts to estimate their operators' knowledge and deceive them; then, I'd have no problem worrying about it. But I suspect that point may not come for a long while, so until then it remains speculation.
