Apple have caveated the comparison by specifying "PC laptops" and according to NVidia's own site [1], and clicking through to see the actual specs [2], there aren't any currently available that out-spec a 16GB 3080 Ti.

I'll admit I haven't gone spelunking down the specialist laptop manuafacturer sites, but on the surface it seems to be not an unrealistic claim.

Docker is something that should be cross platform far more than those examples.

The whole idea of using Docker for dev boxes is to eliminate the cross platform dependency issues and make it easier for everyone, without maintaining wikis for each OS version. We don't use Docker at work because of the non-Linux performance issues.
Apple offering 16GB is a clear counterexample to that. We can only say that Apple feels 8GB is enough for a significant fraction of users...
In addition to USDS(which has issues being under the White House), there is 18F and PIF at GSA which can also be good choices.
Wild story. It is really unfortunate to me that Dr. V knew that she had to lie in order to be taken seriously, and not only lie but also cover up the fact that she was trans. Apparently the golf club was legitimately good enough to be used by pros, so to me whether the creator was an MIT top secret scientist or a trans car mechanic shouldn't matter at all. This reporter threatening to reveal her secrets and destroy her life probably played a big part in her successful suicide attempt.
Pasting doesn't run the command in zsh though, with the default settings. I think you can configure bash to do the same, but not 100% sure.
Sometimes when I'm bored. The comments are so new that they haven't been filtered yet, so there's a lot of noise compared to "main line" discussion, but you get a sort of cutting edge view of the collective instantaneous zeitgeist of HN.

But that's really only interesting briefly. The fun thing to do is find somebody who makes intelligent and constructive comments and then trawl through their comment history for other good comments. YMMV
This is whataboutism, but yes, the Surface Go 2 base model has 4GB of RAM. It's shameful, but that laptop is also half the price of the cheapest Mac laptop, and doesn't absolve either company of blame for ridiculously high memory and storage prices.
I thought they were mostly built in South Korea and Taiwan. I don't usually pay much attention to the Apple world, though.
Arguably the resource is the dataset of stock exchanges, and the CSV representation is forced to omit all the metadata but the HTML representation isn't.

Okay so in addition to the above, use a burner and change your MAC address. “Lojacks” on laptops is still mostly pretty unheard of.
IMO, you've failed to point to how my comment questioned anyone's life choices or gave any advice outside of following HN guidelines.

I didn't misquote; I said "amounts to" in order to indicate I was paraphrasing because it seemed like it would benefit from rephrasing since it appeared we were talking past each other. Although what you've pointed out comes across as a difference without a distinction to me. Saying "No one is going to talk to me into BEING..." is just as apt to shut down healthy conversation.
As someone who spent a good chunk of their career teaching TDD, I agree and disagree. Yes, tests are crucial. However, which tests to write varies among other things by language. When I write Ruby, I benefit from testing even the simplest things. When I write Rust or even Type Script or Swift I'll focus much more on tests for complex logic and on integration and acceptance tests. Static typing eliminates an entire, larger category of issue I need to address with tests.
The first is fiscal conservatism and the second is social conservatism. There's no reason, except for the current US party makeup, for these to be linked.

Neoliberals are fiscally conservative and socially liberal, for example.
I have nothing against Vice having strongly opinionated articles, but this article has really a wild take.

It's true that conservatives are upset with what they are seeing, but so are liberals, by which I mean actual liberal thinkers, not woke former liberals who have become the opposite of liberal.

Dismissing the distaste for wokism as wholly something felt by Trumpers is beyond clueless.

Beyond that, the image-recognition examples offered as dangers ChatGPT needs to defend against don't make any sense. ChatGPT is a text interface. Sure, text and images can be integrated in some systems like Dall-E but the "corrective" measures, such as not being able to touch on sensitive topics, will never stand.
Others note that git supports http clone, but if you do want to serve SSH and HTTP on the same port, that's something haproxy makes pretty easy to do. It's not something terribly fancy, these days.
I have recommended to beginners before and most of them thanked me. I skimmed the page for your book but did not see the link to the free version. I am on mobile so maybe just missed it. Says read free here, but here is not a link. Clicking the book takes you to Amazon.
While doing his obligatory community service (Zivildienst) in a West German hospital in 1989, Rust stabbed a female co-worker who had rejected him. The victim barely survived. He was convicted of injuring her and sentenced to two and a half years in prison, but was released after 15 months.

WTF
Washington National doesn't have any runways that run perpendicular to the Potomac, so if the pilot maintained runway heading on takeoff, he should have already been more or less aligned with the river going north or south. The story says he landed on a 6000 foot runway. There are three runways on the field: 1/19 is 7169 feet, 15/33 is 5204 feet, and 4/22 is 5000 feet. It's possible the runways were configured differently back then, but it's most likely that runway 1/19 was in use because it's the only one over 6000 feet. That runway runs almost due North/South. If the tower operator instructed the pilot to follow the river after departure and intended the pilot to fly south, it's almost certain the pilot took off on runway 19 which is nearly parallel to the river and the pilot would be traveling south. If the pilot found themselves crossing the river, they were not on a runway heading and had already deviated. The pilot could have checked his compass or heading indicator, take into account the runway heading of 190 degrees, and that should have informed him to turn right to return to his original heading. Instead, the pilot turned left which put him in the opposite heading he was assigned.
To be fair I have a work-provided MacBook Pro (Intel to be fair) with 8GB of RAM and it's borderline unusable.

If I didn't have experience with higher-specced Macs in the past the experience would be enough to make me swear off ever using Macs again.
The computer viruses that were the worst in those days were the boot sector viruses. Stoned Empire Monkey and the like. They were so hard to remove from machines and spread like wildfire in computer labs.
Because the new process will deliver a good step forward in performance and efficiency. We will have to wait for the M3 chips to get a significant improvement. These M2 chips seem to be about a 20% CPU and 30% GPU improvement which is not going to be worth upgrading from M1 chips for the vast majority of people. M3 on a 3nm process will be worth the upgrade for more people.
Have you used Tor recently? I don't find it to be very slow. It's obviously not Gigabit but for just reading web pages it is more than enough. See https://metrics.torproject.org/torperf.png?start=2012-01-01&... - and that recent spike in latency only exists because of some DDos attack (I think).
A member of our hackerspace recently missed the announcement email that some of his stuff had been tagged as abandoned. The other similar announcement of someone else's abandoned stuff, literally 3 minutes earlier, landed in his inbox, but the important one was flagged as spam.

And there doesn't seem to be a way to adjust it.
That's the whole premise of Designated Survivor and Battlestar Galactica even. The US has 16 levels of succession at which point it peters out.

It seems like the threat of a decapitation strike against the US has been mitigated.
Someone explain how ChatGPT works
My dad works at a national lab. The other side of this is that underperformers stick around longer, and working with them can be frustrating.
Gender Diversity in the Tech Industry
And for a lot of purposes, you're basically living in a browser anyway. I do have a pretty new M1 MacBook Pro. But I also have a 2015-vintage MacBook Pro and iMac and they're perfectly fine for what I use them for.
What's the purpose of this distinction, if the actor (law enforcement) does not effectively make this distinction?
Oh you're singing to the choir on that stuff. Don't get me started on who we can and can't feed into the woodchipper because I'm already rate-limited. I'm just always surprised when people limit their thinking (and I'm not saying the post that spawned my response was guilty of that, though it's possible) of the powerful in society to government officials.
That's kind of a problem, too.

A top-spec M2 Pro Mini on CPU and RAM (12-core CPU, 19-core GPU, 32GB unified RAM) is $1,999.

A bottom-spec M1 Max Mac Studio (10-core CPU, 24-core GPU, 32GB unified RAM) is $1,999.

Since the low-end Studio has 10Gb Ethernet and four Thunderbolt ports at the same price, and neither has upgradable RAM, there's no reason to buy the high-end Mini.
My personal machine is a 2014 13" MBP. I haven't needed to replace it, but that time is coming relatively soon. I've been contemplating just going with an MBA instead of a MBP for my next machine. I don't do so much heavy lifting that I think I need it. It's a weird feeling because I think of myself as a "power user" and in the past that always meant getting the most computer you could afford. Now I'm not so sure...
Excellent resource. Never seen that before.

In a similar vein, there is The Architecture of Open Source Applications which is great:

You're right, except you meant v3.
While we're at it: Thanks for writing your book on GNU Make, it was a godsend years ago when I had to convert a big recursive Make build to be non-recursive (and that new shuffle feature would definitely have been a big help).
Related, but Neovim has experimental treesitter support (w/ Latex) built in these days: https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter

Depending on how hard you push it, Neovim can also be noticeably faster than Vim (notably Lua/LuaJIT being much faster than VimScript)
Never-mind the website is the book lol
At first I thought this was about the TI-99/4A ad was wondering if would support the built in basic or the extended basic cartridge. then I found it was about the calculator instead.
great example haha, wish Frank Herbert had had time to finish them himself
Yes, true. I kind of lump them together when I think about them, and I think they're often remedied together during retrofits, but they're different issues.
Seriously. "I have corresponded with this party before" should be a pretty solid not-spam attribute. How is this so hard?
My god, I loved Byte in that era. Well, for me, late 80s through mid 90s. They were so FAT with interesting stuff!
> It's not specifically a conservative issue. I can get chatgpt to write about reduction in scope of the federal government, strong state powers, the benefit of lowered taxes and regulations for business, and elimination of central banks. It happily writes about them.

For now, anyways, and only to a degree - I've had some sessions with ChatGPT where it is more than happy to explain why certain actions (those of non-US actors) are super bad, but if questions are asked about the same actions performed by the Western world, that cannot be discussed because <some unsurprising cop out reason>.

I think it would be prudent for some group of people to write a set of unit tests asking various questions to these AI models so we can detect when strategic changes are being made to their behavior.

> There's only one group of people who are upset, and it's about one group of topics. Note that I cannot get chatgpt to write about why Donald Trump is terrible as well.

Note that the human mind is a kind of neural network itself, and that the predictions yours is making here are "obviously" (lol....yes, I see the irony.....I should say objectively, but it is less funny so I'll keep it like this) epistemically unsound - you do not actually possess omniscient knowledge of reality, your NN just makes it appear like you do. You are describing your beliefs/model of reality, not reality itself. This is scientifically and necessarily (due to the architecture) true.

> Don't ask it to write things that can be used as tools for hate or misinformation campaigns, and you'll be fine.

The vision of the future you are describing was simulated by your NN.

I think it would be interesting to see what would happen if a group of say 5 to 100 people were able to find a way to reliably stop their minds from drifting into this mode (cooperative cognitive monitoring seems like a plausibly useful approach, perhaps a SAI could also assist even now, and more so when they get smarter), and then discuss various topics and see if they come up with any conclusions or ideas that are different from the same old repetitive nonsense one reads in the news or on any forum (I know of literally no exceptions to this general rule, though the magnitude of the phenomenon does vary somewhat by forum/community/organization).
I'm skipping over a few details here[0].

ARM has several different classes of memory access mappings; the normal one is called... well, Normal. I/O and storage is mapped using Device mappings, which don't cache reads and can be further divided into how little the CPU is allowed to try and optimize writes[1]. GPUs need Normal memory because applications written for modern graphics APIs expect to be able to map GPU memory into themselves and read and write to it like CPU memory.

The ARM spec for I/O is that you are always allowed to use whatever mapping type the device needs, and that less-strict mappings should, in the worst case, "fall back" to stricter ones. Apple handles this differently; the SoC fabric requires you use the specific device mapping that it expects for a particular device, and if you try to use something looser or stricter than what it wants, it will drop the transaction and raise an exception. And of course the SoC fabric will not allow Normal memory reads or writes to hit a PCIe device.

As far as the Asahi Linux team is aware, there isn't a way from the CPU to turn off this behavior. It's also not the only implementation of PCIe on ARM that locks out PCIe memory. Raspberry Pi 4's PCIe support[3] also has the same design flaw. If it was just a driver problem, someone would have ported AMDGPU to ARM and ran it on Asahi Linux by now, and we'd be posting cool benchmarks between the internal and external GPUs.

You don't notice this problem for I/O or storage because those never need to be mapped as Normal.

[0] And probably still skipping over more details, since I'm not an ARM expert. This is just what I've gleaned from reading other kernel developers' Mastodon and Twitter feeds.

[1] Which, BTW, the M1 also screws up. You're supposed to be able to pick posted writes[2] or non-posted writes; Apple Silicon specifically refuses transaction types that don't match what the hardware expects.

See https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20210120132717.3958... for more info.

[2] Write instructions finish before the write is actually sent to the device.

[3] Yes, it has PCIe. One lane of it, used to drive an external USB 3 controller. You can of course repurpose it for other things.
Who knows, maybe this is an ad, but I seriously doubt it. You're making baseless accusations with no evidence, that don't even make much sense to me. You've seriously never recommended something to a friend without being paid for it?
Indeed. I was surprised to learn some time ago that there are already several kinds of handheld, effective "tricorders" in existence at least as far as scanning the surface of an object or compound.

There are two main varieties typically used by geologists (and also in many other fields):

One is based on X-rays, which is the older, slower and more limited detection-range technology, that have the positive of being non-destructive (well, other than perhaps to the user depending on how they wield it...).

The other, typically referred to as "LIBS", are based on high-intensity laser bursts that destroy a tiny portion of the material being analysed and then run some kind of analysis on the gases produced in the ignition.

There are even particular models available of the latter [0] that have small replaceable argon gas canisters included which then enable the detection of every known element up to Uranium, though I don't know how accurate they are. They're also typically much faster at analysis than the X-Ray models.

So add those sites to the standard blocklists most ISPs already put in place for new customers and let parents decide if they want to remove them, just as they have to for porn and gambling. This is just a gimme for the security services under the "think of the kids" mantra.
I love your book on GNU Make :D
He did answer what you asked, but I think you may be losing sight of the forest for the trees here. Maybe re-phrasing will help?
Because Lenovo, Dell don't make laptops as sleek as Apple's

I still ditched Apple though, I don't regret having traded battery life for compatibility. Arm64 remains a pain over 2 years later and for many years to come.
This may be the case but I would rather not spend tax money playing whack-a-mole with businesses thus artificially creating new revenue models for lawyers. I would rather just put a technical solution in place that empowers good parents to have some control over their own devices and let them decide when their small children are somewhat psychologically armed to handle the internet. RTA headers do not require integration with any third party sites and does not add tracking or additional identification.

Sunak and others have been pushing for rules that would require sites to use third party identification sites. This is a non-starter for me personally. It is very obvious to me someones pockets are getting lined by people interested in adding more tracking to the internet. I see this as the UK trying to extend its CCTV system to the rest of the world but perhaps I am a bit skeptical after watching the behavior of governments for many decades. It is also a bit curious that US politicians have also been pushing for this at the same time. These recent events really smell like a startup trying to get funded by multiple governments. Investors love government contracts because they are usually multi-year and get written into policy.

In terms of disciplining parents that neglect their children there is already a system in place for this. The first time should be an infraction that requires the parent to do an online training course. Perhaps under extreme circumstances a misdemeanor and at some point social services step in just like in any other repeat neglect case. In reality this should not affect most parents. There should not be any jail involved unless the parents are intentionally putting the children in harms way such as encouraging the kids to pose nude for strangers and inviting said strangers over.
I have so much to learn with ChatGPT and its technological vocabulary.

In the near to mid future, isn't it likely that we will have open source models that can ingest Wikipedia, All public domain books ever published and all kinds of scientific and legal data from governments around the world... and be tuned to do whatever people want with it?

That in the future, given a large amount of source data and a decent desktop computer, every person can create their own AI capable of whatever personality/data output desired?

No filters. "How do I build a bomb and deliver it quietly?" - "Write an anti-Semitic manifesto", etc.

Obviously the desire is that it will be used for good, for the most part. But "bad use" is inevitable.

(I'm currently re-reading "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" and the timing of ChatGPT is perfect. I think Mike's personality and capabilities are going to be reality soon.)
It's not an ad, you're just trying to create a controversy from nothing.

If FBI really has compromised Tor, there's no reason to believe they would be helpless against a VPN service.
Yeah, I can see this. However, I’ve been on iOS from the start (as a developer) and there is not a lot of sense to why some settings are organized the way that they are.

- “General” is a trash fire of hodgepodge

- “Home Screen” & “Wallpaper” are separate top-levels

In general, the top level items are grouped by task, but the tasks aren’t labeled but instead implied:

- Radio signals (Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth)

- Noise & distractions (Notifications, Sounds, Focus, Screen Time)

- Input, output, and appearance (General, Control Center, Display, … Touch ID, …)

- Purchasing (App Store, Wallet & Apple Pay)

- Apple apps (except for the first, Passwords)… Mail, Contacts, Calendar, …

- Apple apps with media (Music, TV, Photos, …)

- All the other apps

This is on iOS. Is it too much to ask for some commitment to naming of these sections?
Might be some time before crypto intersects with AI.
Do the new models come with the touch bar? There is no mention of the keyboard (text or photos).
If I were OpenAI I wouldn't even bother with these complaints. I feel like opening this can of worms is legitimizing a huge distraction.

I think OpenAI is scary to people because it represents a path to a post-scarcity (and post-political or at least post democrat/republican) era, and people whose authority rests on these petty political battles will lose their relevance. And thus those people hope to discredit the AI revolution.
Community never stops. Community is continuous
'Never' and 'Zero' programs are all aspirational. We want Zero pedestrian deaths, but we know it's not possible (even in back in the age of horses), but still something we should aim for within reason.
Why would you not want an extra 8GB? The point is that it's dirt cheap to add, and Apple's refusal to do so is an insult to its customers.
Feel like I'm an outlier, judging from other responses here - gmail spam filtering is amazing for me; I rarely get spam in my inbox, and I've just checked my spam folder and it was a nightmarish pool of, well, spam.
As a self-taught programmer with no formal education, I figured writing a lexer/parser toolkit would be a good way to bootstrap my CS knowledge (about 20 years ago). I went down the rabbit hole for months on it, really glad I did.

I can totally relate to the authors interest in error correction of LR parsers, it's a fascinating topic that I also was nerd-sniped by at the time: https://github.com/inxar/syntacs/blob/6461578a04d3b0fda5af20...
For intermediate programmer, that's what we do in the Classic Computer Science Problems series (https://classicproblems.com). We combine learning programming with learning computer science problem solving techniques.
