It does, and I mentioned that I tried to use it but had issues, so I got it to work at its default clock rate.
Just checked, the $12,000 upper bound on the Middle Income Trap is defined in constant 2011 USD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_income_trap). That means the bound has moved from $12,000 and is now $15,833.
Why not just make a license to get on the “information super highway”?

Obviously this excludes IOT devices but for smart phone, desktop/laptop, tablets, etc maybe a card reader should be installed. The backfacing camera can use facial recognition tech to intermittently check if the correct user is on. Licenses can be renewed every year until 18 years of age.

If needed, licenses can be extended to adults to keep track of certain undesirable behaviors and to maybe even reward prosocial behavior.

Nope, those scratch cards are listed on their website. They're legit: https://mullvad.net/en/help/partnerships-and-resellers/
My main issue with this report is that it gives all figures without any context:

- $500K in the foundation. Is this a lot or not, compared to other foundations? Is this more or less than the previous year/last decade?

- 6 developers. Again, what does this figure mean?

- "many users still use old versions" -- again, at which % should the community be worried?

The only meaningful info I found was the chart showing that after 7.0, its popularity stopped falling (though, the chart should have been rendered as stacked to see the full sum of downloads).

Regarding the language, I guess people get their job done with it, but the code in the presentation makes an impression that it's the same hassle as back in 2010 (v 5.3) when I quit using it. (Used it since 1999.)
that's what a fan is for.

No, this seems to have nothing to do with Apple's own monitors. Apple just didn't support the proper display connection standards previously.

Now they support HDMI 2.1, based on this announcement, so they're finally catching up to everyone else. It would have been dumb for them to fall further and further behind on a display connector regardless of what monitors Apple has in the pipeline.
They really should have called the 2021 MBP-with-Touchbar "Macbook SE"
Ask HN: With ChatGPT why are autocorrect and spellcheckers still bad?
Apple autocorrect and spellchecking is still absolutely terrible and the majority of the time incorrect. If ChatGPT can correctly parse my complex sentences and paragraphs why can’t Apple and Google for that matter (Google you are more on the hook) get spelling and autocorrect functionality right? Autocorrect on my iPhone is absolute garbage for the most part.
Is there expected to be a difference in CPU performance between the 12-core M2 Pro and the 12-core M2 Max ?
Obviously, negativity regarding Tesla has hit a fever pitch. It's a bit of a shame in some regards, though it's easy to see how it is justified; no matter how cool the cars are, Tesla as a company has a leadership issue.

What Tesla did for the world, in my opinion, was make electric cars a desirable product. Before Tesla, the image of an electric car was that of a compromise, a vehicle for "hippies" and not people who love cars. In that regard, they got some things right. I really doubt the F150 Lightning would have happened if not for Tesla's successes in the market, for example.

And even still, it does seem like the market has a lot of catching up to do. While I'm not an expert, it seems like the Model Y heat pump is still state of the art electric vehicle engineering. Hopefully in the future, all electric cars will have high performance heat pumps and sophisticated temperature management for the battery system, as it would definitely alleviate winter range concerns. I think right now a lot of people believe that it is impossible to have an electric car that performs well in cold environments, but it seems like it is possible to maintain almost all of the range with enough engineering.

It's sad to see Tesla in the dumps like this. It's easy to meme on it, but the truth is that behind the many issues, the team did accomplish something pretty incredible. It really isn't every other day that a new car manufacturer pops up and manages to swipe significant marketshare. When I first moved to the California bay area, it was pretty novel seeing just how many Tesla's there were. But back here in the Midwest again, it's getting to be kind of uncommon to not see one on a drive nowadays, too.
This article is low quality. I was expecting a little more data to backup each “misconception” instead of hand waving.
> In the feature list, the most underwhelming item to me is the '1080p FaceTime HD camera'.

Why ?

Most people use their laptop webcams for Skype with friends or Zoom/Teams with colleagues. The camera is merely a means to display your face to others and I doubt anyone else (especially on work sessions) gives a shit about what your image looks like.

Do people really need to stare at your wrinkles, nose-hair and unshaven face in 8k ? Most people also use their webcam in godawful lighting conditions, so it matters even less.

Added to which, in relation to the MacBook Pros, the clue is in the name "Pro". People will be buying it as a work machine. Who cares about the webcam (or indeed, if you look at certain other web-forums where people are complaining about the lack of Space Gray 16-inch ...who cares about the colour !).
>Isn't this partially what you pay your architect for? If you're willing to pay top dollar you should be able to find one that's very hands on and coordinates the whole building process as your representative.

It is amazing how separate most architects are from the actual implementation. I sort of wish architects were required to apprentice as builders before doing design.

I recently built a custom house with a long time friend as the architect and have a family member I could talk to who is an architect. Additionally there was a structural engineer involved in the project for things like truss design and sheer calculations I could talk. That's a lot of talent and experience in residential and commercial design!

On the other hand my father is a general contractor and I have some construction experience and grew up around roofers, framers, etc.

All the architects I talked to frequently had very low visibility into the difficulty and cost factors of their design proposals.

For example: flush baseboards make the wall super clean and don't get dinged up. But no indie contractors in our area can install them.

Curves on drywall interior walls will match the curves in the plastered exterior walls - but while wetted 1/4 inch drywall will bend a pretty tight inside curve it can't be attached to an outside curve because it pulls through the fasteners - I ended up kerf cutting plywood to make the bend, priming it for adhesion and plastering the curves with help from a high end plaster specialist.

High windows downstairs go all the way to the ceiling inside which looks more balanced on the outside... but would require a small "vault" in the otherwise flat ceiling... Which would have affected the framing of the wall, required at least one custom floor truss instead of a standard TJI, made for super complicated trim in the affected rooms, required a very non-standard window size, and an expensive plaster detail at each such window. On my investigation it was going to be at least $25K to make 4 windows 8" taller!

In my experience custom home building architects generally were not very construction aware. Talking about installation practices or costs usually resulted in advice to "get a bid"! Despite being very pleased with my architectural collaboration I don't think hands-on supervision of actual building practice is likely a realistic expectation from a typical architect.
These new ARM chips are almost perfect, the only bad part is... ARM.

Most backend devs these days use Docker, and serious Docker usage on M1/M2 macs isn't really possible due to bugs and super slow performance.

I was doing benchmarks and for our workloads images would build several times slower as well as our test suites.

We had many devs in our company buy the shiny macbooks only having to return them due to incompatibilities with Docker.

My computer journey was Windows -> Linux -> Macos, now more than decade later I am returning back to Windows, because WSL is a total blessing.
I like “The Elements of Computing Systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles”.

You build a whole computer from scratch through small projects.

Sure, you want learn a specific language, but you’ll grock programming in general.
Oh wait I see I'm mistaken, the function pointer is being used as the opcode and you're running across the instruction list with the &instrs[2], that makes more sense at least. I can't personally do that for my VM however since I'm using an existing instruction set. I'll have to give this a full read when I get off work.
It would depend on what exactly I was building. Maybe it needs to be able to generate texts on controversial topics.

I agree that it alienates people, but the choice is less between alienating half and alienating no one but more alienating half and alienating another half that includes the media and the law. I'd use the same strategy if I worked in China: business is business and money trumps theoretical concerns about free speech and open dialogue.
Sometimes it's fun. You can tell if a comment is good if it doesn't need context and good writing always explains itself without referring to the article/URL in question.
Nothing's perfect and often when there are platform inconsistencies like that someone abstracts the functionality away in a package so the application developer doesn't need to worry about it. I'd rather have 80% code sharing across platforms than no code sharing.
It is not true that iGPU memory always has to be reserved anymore. Some programs and APIs don't support it, but you can address main system memory from many iGPUs and vice-versa. In Vulkan for example you can do this by setting the HOST_COHERENT, HOST_VISIBLE and DEVICE_VISIBLE for a buffer. Of course, this is subject to driver bugs, and you have to be careful with caches that may or may not be shared depending on the specific iGPU.

Beyond this, newer iGPUs like the RX680M are comparable in performance to an M1 Pro. Certainly sufficient for any model visualization task, since that's what we're talking about.
Definitely not true. Inhaling combustion byproducts is what causes cancer. Marijuana smokers typically just don't inhale as much smoke as tobacco smokers. Nobody chain smokes joints all day unless they're Snoop Dogg or something.
Those look interesting! I'll try them out.

Electric Make is the large scale makefile maintainers dream basically. You're not going to get that much out of it for a small linux package but once you have a build that can manage a lot of parallelism it makes life easy. It makes your build run across a cluster of machines but presents a filesystem on each machine that makes your build think it's on one computer. It has a filesystem module that does this and which also perfectly spots all your dependencies even when they're not C or C++ header files - just any file that got used when a target was being made.

It's so smart that it spots parallelism issues as they happen and reruns everything in the correct ordering that they would have got run in if the build was running on a single core - so it can make horrible old makefiles work properly in parallel without you needing to update them. It remembers what happened so that it gets everything right first time in the next build.

It remembers what build times things had and schedules longer items earlier. Its dependency mechanism lets it cache build objects with great certainty that you'll never pull a stale item out of a the cache.

And the icing on the cake is that it has a visualisation tool that lets you look at your build across all CPUs/computers and see almost at a glance why it is slow and how to fix it.

It's just the last word. But it is not free at all and again my opinion is that it's mostly going to pay off on larger builds. I also think that if you're building something where the developers take build time very seriously and fix problems a lot then it won't help as much.
Agreed. Now they just need to ship a 15" MBA. It would be the perfect laptop and more than capable for most people and devs. I have the 13" M2 Air and I've realized the screen is just too small for me. Maybe we'll see it this spring?
that's the definition of a strawman.
Looking at the article, seems to be mostly live entertainment division (think "watch a sproting event from any angle") and redundant jobs after the IronSource merger (ads).

Really sad to see, hopefully some of them find new roles internally.
or if you're going to ask them their age just display age appropriate content. Automatic categorizing of even user generated stuff should be a pretty much solved problem by now
As a rule of thumb, I find court documents generally far better reading material than news articles covering them, especially court decisions.

A lot of legal writers are actually pretty good, even from the perspective of a layperson, especially judges/clerks writing for judges at the appellate and Supreme Court level.
It is, but Shopify uses it as well and maintains the companion tool, tapioca.

https://github.com/Shopify/tapioca

Tapioca is used to generate type signatures on gems and code that creates functions at runtime. Sorbet ships with some of that behavior, but they updated their docs to recommend tapioca over sorbet where the behavior overlaps.
Contrary opinion: I don't see the need for a high-quality camera on a laptop. I can't think of another good use besides Zoom calls and Facetime and the like, when your counterparties in the meeting are all going to be seeing a scaled-down image anyway.

Stick in some decent and cheap camera, and put the money into stuff that matters like computing capabilities, RAM, storage, networking, screen, etc.
I'm kind of astonished I have to explain this, but there's a difference between showing the product in the best possible light, and faking what the product can do. As you say - it's hard to show well grilled steak on a video without special effects. So why not just use special effects? Because that would be fraud.

The key detail here is that the engineers went off and 3d mapped a route and used that to operate the car. That's not actually something the product does. That's fraud. You can totally produce that video and say "Here's how autopilot will work in the future" because you're demonstrating the intended behaviour, not claiming something about the current product. What you can't do, is fake what the product can do today, and then claim it's capable of that today. Unless Elon Musk plans to personally go and 3d map every journey I take for eternity then that's not an honest claim about how the product behaves.

Note, we're 7 years down the line, and autopilot still doesn't work. The average age of a car is about 12 years. So if you saw that advert, bought a Tesla, you bought it under the understanding that it had a feature it still doesn't have and your Tesla is (edit:~~half~~) quarter-way to being scrapped.
It does feel like they're pretty comfortable selling expensive cars for now while others are expanding info the cheaper segments.
meh, only if you run it 24/7 and only if you live in Europe with very high energy prices. If the machine sleeps for 16 hours a day while the user goes to sleep or goes outside, you'll never break even. There's also no guarantee that next year will be as shitty as the last one regarding electricity.

Humans would clearly bring other life with them to Mars just as we have to almost every part of the earth.

In contrast to this worldview that humans are the agents of mass-extinction, it's much more likely that humans are the only ticket to survival for every species on earth. No other species has been able to escape Earth's massive gravity well, nor has come anywhere close to harnessing the energy required to do so.
I fail to see how a failure to properly label a different product with the appropriate health warnings is a an argument to also fail with a different one. If a risk exists, proper labelling is warranted regardless of substance.

I'd also like to point out that the Canadian Cancer Society (one of the groups highly involved with advocated for labelling) has also issued statements about inhalation (of any substance). So they quite literally have done the thing that you accuse them of having not done.

One area where alcohol could be improved is by requiring food labels. Just how much sugar and calories are in your drink? Finding answers to this is a bit opaque, so having a bit more transparency would be great.
Was excited to see this post thinking maybe it's not just me lately, alas it looks like you have the opposite problem. I've had a Gmail Business email for well over a decade and usually I could count the number of spam emails that went into my inbox every year on one hand, as I make sure not to subscribe to anything and unsubscribe if I do. Past year or so, now get several a month at least which may not sound like a lot, but just things that are obviously spam, or recruitment emails etc. And it's bit annoying since I use third party email clients and I'm told marking as spam in those doesn't do the same as marking in spam in a gmail client, so I have to always then open up gmail.com and mark as spam there. But yes, guess glad don't have the opposite problem as a couple spam is a hassle but a couple real emails not coming through could be a far bigger problem, since many of us have rarely needed to check the spam folder often unless something we are expecting didn't show up.
The big claims here seem to be "We mapped the route first", "We had to try multiple times to get the video" and "We crashed into a fence on one practice run".

In my view, none of those things make the video staged...

As a viewer, none of those things are surprising. If the car could reliably do those things pretty much every time, they would have brought a journalist along for the ride. If it could do it every time on any route, they would have released it to the public to try.

Back in 2016, other self driving companies were making similar videos, and I'm sure all of them were mapped and took multiple tries too.
ChatGPT takes quite a lot of compute compared to a spellchecker.
That explanation was always a bit suspect, since the US population did not skyrocket during COVID. Studies showed that many people with roommates did move out to be single housed during COVID (referenced on the Moody's Analytics podcast; I don't have the link handy). That's how the number of "households" went up.

However, if people needed roommates for financial reasons before the pandemic then... maybe they will again?
There are a lot of things that are risky that I do all the time. I’m surprised marijuana has such widespread praise given burning organic material, inhaling it deeply, and keeping it for long periods of time in your lungs is obviously dangerous. Grilled and smoked meat - with charred material slowly snaking its way through your intestines - is definitely extremely dangerous.

But I enjoy alcohol, I like how it impacts social situations, I like the taste. Jesus did turn water into wine, after all. Traces of beer and wine go back perhaps ten thousand years. It’s not something a warning label will change for me, and we already tried prohibition. Life is hard enough without having to worry about every last damn thing.
Considering the complexity of a SoC like the M1, that there is zero documentation for it, and the Asahi team can only reverse-engineer it, what are the odds that they just don't know the magic bits to twiddle to get this functionality?
Google broccoli thiocyanate, and enjoy a bottle of red from time to time.
It's an illusion. The model generates a sequence of tokens based on an input sequence of tokens. The clever trick is that a human periodically generates some of those tokens, and the IO is presented to the human as if it were a chat room. The reality is that the entire token sequence is fed back into the model to generate the next set of tokens every time.

The model does not have continuity. The model instances are running behind a round-robin load balancer, and it's likely that every request (every supposed interaction) is hitting a different server every time, with the request containing the full transcript until that point. ChatGPT scales horizontally.

The reality the developers present to the model is disconnected and noncontiguous like the experience of Dixie Flatline in William Gibson's Wintermute. A snail has a better claim to consciousness than a call center full of Dixie Flatline constructs answering the phones.

A sapient creature cannot experience coherent consciousness under these conditions.
I don’t own an EV but wouldn’t the closest one to that be the Nissan Leaf?

Probably only a few, but there are web servers out there where it would be a minimal effort to implement it, which are sadly only a few too.

It's always confusing me how a Feed Reader looks like a normal desktop browser when it loads a feed, e.g. Accept: text/html instead of application/rss+xml first.

Most feed readers don't even tell the server which format they handle at all, most just send a Accept: text/html, /
It probably then deserves a `(2022)` since that announcement was just over a year ago.
New idea: open a pop-up cafe near a law school called "Material Statement of Fact." Run a bunch of advertisements with silly pictures (food flying in the air, tootpicks holding in the lettucs, etc.). Each meal is served exactly as absurd as it is pictured.

I think it'd be a lot of fun for like 2 days.

There is certainly merit in promoting freedom of speech on campus, and there is certainly a lot of knee-jerk political correctness rampant right now.

However, these people seem to think that the word "progressive" is a pejorative, just like "woke." I can't help but feel that this is yet another example of polarization, of conservatives demonizing liberals.
I wish there was an easier way to keep on with tags on more instances though, following users I don't have to worry about that.
All of the answers to this will amount to being able to find them in some other way.

No one will answer what to do if you have no idea of what’s in the code (bc it’s old or you’re new to this repo).

Basically, this idea is a failure but some people think it’s neat so they’ll come up with contrived justifications that make no sense.

Last time I visited Disneyland with my kids, there was a sign by the entrance that Disneyland causes cancer.

Ok, it said something to the effect that there were substances on the premises known to the State of California that cause cancer. But the end result is that it was not clear WHAT was there that causes cancer, so it basically says Disneyland causes cancer.
