I can name a few but why does this matter. The point is Apple can work around this for eu market if they want but at the end consumers will win anyway
Eh, Apple M2 is also in that list.
A living wage where? Where these contractors live?
I like Sam for the most part, but this is something I entirely disagree with.
People can share houses. I did until I was 35
My pupils are fine at that dose. It's more subtle, it's the way I start looking at things (clouds, bark, grass, fur, my own hand) or zoning out while talking to someone. FWIW I never went above 100ug, nor do I feel like I want or need to. It gets quite intense once you learn how to let it.
Generally the best approach there is to elevate a bunch of your smartest engineers into an architecture team that a) set good standards but also b) appreciates the nuance of problems sufficiently to know when to deviate.

A small team can probably only handle one tech stack, an org with 10 teams can probably handle 10 stacks if they needed to but can get efficiency by standardising on some number less than 10.

However making those calls shouldn't be coming down from the CTO, it should be made among the architects that actually design and build the systems.
A single data point:

Fanless is important enough for me that when I was about to go home to a hot village over the Nov-Jan break (I was going to work till mid-December), I went and bought the M1 Air so I could ditch my loud work laptop. The work laptop was a Dell with a Quadro, known to overheat and get loud when temp > 45°C. The last time I was home I had observed that it idled at least below 40, while around 35 in the city, so with 10° warmer weather in December, it was going to be loud when idle.

Even when my new job gave me a new device, I hesitated to get the M1 Pro as it has a fan. Only got it after watching enough reviewers say it almost never turns on.

I'm 34 and my ears started constantly ringing in 2019 after my then employer gave me a faulty 'new' laptop whose fan was always at 100%. I complained about it numerous times to no avail.

We didn't fully grasp how loud it was until one day we were in the office past 5pm when the central cooling turner off. It contributed a lot to the office noise.

There were about 10 of us in the office, when I turned off my laptop almost everyone startled, asking what loud object had just turned off (we had been complaining that it's hot, so were aware the HVAC was off).

So yes most people compiling code may prefer beefier machines with fans, I've sadly started a lifelong journey of avoiding fans.

We live in a small apartment, I'm even considering getting a new fridge because our current one is loud.
That's interesting, I thought a Raft cluster would prevent just that!
Welcome to the EU, a legal system where nobody effectively elects anything and any major decisions are made without any democratic element whatsoever.

Their attempt to ratify their behavior went so badly (in France and the Netherlands where actual popular votes were collected for an "EU constitution") that they just renamed the thing and did what they want anyway.
It's not specifically Ruby, but also using ActiveRecord, loading bloated models, associations, and some business logic. There is also a large amount of memory bloat with the sitemap library when working with large datasets. The Crystal sitemap library has a way to avoid that same bloat.

With Crystal, all of those things are massively faster.
> people who cannot communicate clearly are going to have a lot of trouble working with something which requires clear communication

Kind of like programming. Framing the solution to a problem in a clear and logical fashion is the hard part, not writing the code.
Sure, and there are a bunch of countries where the average wage is the equivalent of $2/hr. Is that where the contractors in question live? Then it's not a meaningful point of comparison.
Interesting keyword, "regime". Seems like many dictatorships fell in the last decade, in the Arab world, to be replaced by other tyrannical leaders or civil war. Russia seems to have a lot of people in good seats to be a Putin replacement, of course most of them with the same goal of Putin's, i.e. self-enrichment. And to be in such a seat you're usually rich and powerful...

And if you're not rich/powerful, you still need their support to be leader, and give them a quid-pro-quo and be nice to them. Just like in many democracies...
Since they are only usable on low speed roads I wonder how that would affect a crash test, even with a much bigger vehicle. Even SUV's have to contend with crashes with an 18 wheeler or other big truck.
Fathom Analytics: The Google Analytics alternative without compromise
Ah, that's much better than the thread had me believe!

Kudos to the security folks at Google.
I don't get why x86 is trying to imitate the ARM SBC market. I can literally put any ITX mobo in a case and call it a day... I mean it's great that they're low power, but I already own 3 ARM boards for that.
Last I checked, Fathom’s open source product hadn’t been updated for a couple of years. So, I switched to Plausible which is more reasonably updated.
No they wouldn't, because you are not a giant corporation like Apple. Stop assuming your scrappy little startup and a trillion-$ corporation with massive market share have similar interests, this is like an ant worrying about a fence designed to block elephants.

In reality if you come up with some kind of better plug, you will sell to a specialist market that would recognize the benefits (dentists or musicians for example) and then expand into other markets. You could try selling direct to consumers but guess what, nobody would buy it unless it had connectivity with other devices, and manufacturers wouldn't go out of their way to adopt it unless it delivered overwhelming advantages at low additional cost.
Correct! It's a language defined ad-hoc by GCC and Clang. GCC's man page describes its behavior with '-fno-exceptions' to be essentially: act like a normal C++ compiler, except produce code which calls abort() where it would otherwise have engaged the exception throwing machinery. That defines a kind of "C++ with exceptions disabled" language, but it's not a standard.
You're right, and many/most researchers want to publish in Nature, or Cell, or a handful of journals. They don't want the cheaper and well-regarded journal that's perfectly tailored to their research. Part of it is ego, part of it is funding requirements, part of it is academia's requirements. Publishers know that pay-to-read's days are counted, but it's actually a mission to convince researchers to use open access.
People who are at the bottom of the income pyramid should prefer partners that also have an income.
It's similar to slapping noexcept on every function in a compilation unit. Unwinding will still happen as usual in compilation units where exceptions were enabled. When a function in an -fno-exceptions compilation unit calls a function that might throw exceptions, the compiler inserts an exception handler that calls std::terminate.

std::terminate won't call any destructors further up the chain, but if all you're doing in destructors is deallocating memory and releasing handles to system resources, this shouldn't matter.
LOL.

Competitive advantage comes from understanding user needs, great UX, and a smooth running sales machine. No-one cares that you built with technology X, whatever that is. There is no silver bullet.

And carry the consequences of crafting a law that Apple can fully comply with without issuing "warnings" about some politician's state of mind.
Apple produces fewer chips but their naming isn't much better.

Is the M1 Ultra faster than the M2 Pro? Is the M1 Max faster than the Ultra, or is the Max not the maximum? How does the M1 Pro compare to the M3?

AMD generally uses the "bigger number within a generation is faster" and Apple uses some confusing adjectives. Either way the names only give a vague indication of performance.
That's ... quite a low bar.
By "large" I mean compared to the fraction of needs-slow-emulation things present currently in C (which is currently approximately zero, other than using integer/float types unsupported on the target hardware (and maybe multiplication/division), but that's comparatively extremely easy to determine).

Maybe my use-case - implementing an array language - is unusually unfit for being done in a generic way, but I just don't see how it (or much of anything outside of very trivial things) would be reasonable to figure out how to do performantly with anything other than either manually using intrinsics, or with custom-written abstractions around such with known worst-case emulation amount (we're doing[0] the latter with a DSL[1] that's basically a basic compile-time code generator; that just leaves unsupported things undefined on any given architecture, and in most occurrences of hitting that I've found ways to write things avoiding expensive emulation).

Yeah. I want the best way to get the attention of a neighborhood cat. Pspsps seems to work well enough for me.
I guess this is written by chatGPT.
Yeah, but it's the same paradigm that follows industry, we just stopped paying attention to the others.
Apple has had fewer connectors than the USB standards.

USB for small devices like phones has gone: Proprietary -> Mini -> Micro -> USB-C

In the same timespan apple has gone: 30-pin -> Lightning

Has GAE come and gone? Surely it’s still there, and capable of running the JVM? K8s seems like overkill for small teams which don’t already have experience
Remote work doesn’t mean people never meet up. I think their version of remote work didn’t work.
At this point I doubt very much this is true.
People never subtract stress amortization from their jobs.

And really, how many people drive their car into the ground? I used my old Saturn SL1 to deliver papers and other periodicals (on the order of 1000 stop and goes per week), and it was still working fine when I had to sell it at 150k miles for a move. The driver's seat was just torn to pieces.

It's just extra oil changes, gas, tires, and maybe maintenance on things like the radiator.
None of those is relevant to me here imo. It's not that I don't know of them.
The plan includes drafting people from tech into the military.
The biggest thing is the massive speed improvement compared to working with bloated ActiveRecord models, associations, plus some memory bloat. The Crystal implementation is massively fast dealing with database data.
No, not necessarily.

The project officially develops secure, private access to the Play Store and its apps. My interpretation is that the project's authors prefer users to use the secure Play Store implementation over alternatives like Aurora, even if Aurora works fine.

Another experiment immediately after the LSD trip is over and the drug has been metabolized. Something like 24h - 48h afterwards.

I find that the most positive cognitive effects come directly afterwards, when the mind is clear. It's like opposite of hangover.
I found Spring to have a little bit of an understandability cliff. Coming from Guice though once I understood the container and had a feel for the general patterns it was easy.

I think if you try to use it without understanding the magic you can probably get pretty far but you will always feel lost when things don't work just like the example. Understanding how all the runtime wiring works at the DI/IoC layer generally makes it pretty easy to work out what is going on though.
IF you can't be profitable at anything other than global scale, maybe your (wholly hypothetical) invention is not that great.
Useful insight, but whether it's 5$ or 50$ a month, compared to dev costs that's a rounding error pretty much everywhere.
A few hours ago, pabs3 mentioned[0] a pull request for adding passkeys to KeePassXC[1]; see also "Support for passkey #8214"[2].

Sure. Roommates have been a thing since forever. A few things make that harder though:

- Having a partner

- Having a child

- Working from home

- The more roommates, the larger the apartment/house, the larger the costs

And that's a solution for only one of the things required to live.
I think most people get over-sold blotters. Every now and then there's a study checking how much LSD is actually on sold-as-200ug blotters, and it's typically 60-80. This also leads to heavy overdoses when getting your hands on actual 200ug blotters...
Reviewers are volunteers.

Journals main business is selling the stone for stone soup.
Very interesting that they were able to reduce costs by 90%, though also agree with the opinions mentioned here.
Yay, can't wait until they abandon or replace this in 2 years.
>What I didn't anticipate is that it would be mostly useless. I don't have much use for a second smaller screen. I prefer to have only the task I'm focusing on in front of me. The Mac OS spaces are already designed for secondary things.

Well, millions of people do use two screen setups, so perhaps this is more about you?

>Note-taking/drawing with the Pencil is good, but is it better than a $2 pen and notepad? Not really. Sure, I can draw something to explain a concept while I'm on a Zoom call with the team, but I've only used this feature twice.

Well, others like the ability to sync and search those. And there are millions of graphic designers, illustrators, and digital painting amateurs, so...

>VS reality:

>In bed, it won't replace the Kindle for melatonin, eye strain, etc.

The "blue light bad" is a myth. Also, that the e-ink/Kindle display is more like real paper is a fact. That it is "better for the eyes" than a backlit screen is not supported by any real scientific results. It's just marketing. A photon is a photon. Just reduce the brightness.

>It's really frustrating knowing the iPad has all the necessary hardware for powerful work (M2 processor) but the software heavily limits it. MacOS running on this thing would be game-changer.

Maybe you just want a small laptop? You don't care for the pencil/drawing, you don't like it as a sidecar display, you don't have a use it for reading/viewing in bed, and for dev work you'd add a keyboard anyway.

So, what you really need is a 12" Macbook to be made again.
FWIW, I agree that the terminology is unpleasant and reeks of internet language-isms like "the top 10 ways...". I feel like there is probably a book or MBA like class that teaches that this is the way to promote your articles online. I also agree that that language feels like it's for a lowest common denominator audience.

The book is pretty mechanical and straightforward and generally doesn't include language like that. The voice the author uses in the book is professional voice and not internet voice.

The one exception is this "fatal flaw" idea which is more or less the thesis of the authors book: Childhood emotional neglect results in feeling like if someone really knew you, they wouldn't like you. The author doesn't bring the term out in the first 10 chapters after which it is well founded.

The term itself is used to mean: "a character trait possessed by a hero that ultimately leads to their downfall." And through 10 chapters she did a pretty good job of showing that neglect does indeed lead to feelings which lead to "downfall" like consequences.
The best way for everyone to live a decent life is for our technology to keep reducing costs of everything. Unfortunately, a big driver of costs is employees. But if we replace all people, then medicine and education become very cheap. Can’t have it both ways though. It hurts while you’re in the middle of it.

I don't think you're interpreting the case of Vladimir Putin clearly. It's quite obvious he will not have any chance to actually use his money that he may have stowed away. Autocrats don't get to retire.

He also has no official family, his suspected relatives are quite well off but nothing spectacular. And it's hard to explain why a kleptocrat would want to start a war which will make his funds actively sought after all across globe and confiscated wherever found.

Whatever cuckoo bananas framework of State government Galkovsky has, it sounds more believeable than naive Navalnist "con men and thieves" with regards to Putin. The other people you've mentioned may fit the kleptocrat profile perfectly, but it's hard to argue how the war would benefit their prospects of keeping that money.

That's also the weak link of Navalnist's "Putin builds his palace" narrative - it's obvious that for any palace built, Putin does not get to enjoy it now and he certainly is not going to enjoy it afterwards, so it can't be his palace.
The title and article don't really match (not an HN problem). The subject matter should be about passkeys, but this is almost entirely about Apple's implementation and forced iCloud aspect.
I completed my role as a CTO for a company several years ago. I chose a boring stack with plenty of developers available: MySQL, PHP with Laravel, and Angular 2. Since then, I've been a founding engineer at some startups using the latest, cutting-edge tech stacks. I'm proud to announce that the stack I managed as CTO is still running stable and smooth with minimal intervention, and it remains easy to modify. Meanwhile, the startups with flashy stacks and nearly impossible-to-debug architectures have gone out of business.

It amazes me how some companies still adopt the "build it and they will come" approach, and when confronted with harsh reality, they double down on building (and especially increasing architectural complexity). CEOs, if you can't attract customers with an idea or don't have a vertical that people are eager to pay for, cramming 1000 half-baked features into a microservice architecture and using the latest programming language / paradigm won't save your company!
It should not respond like with "don't talk to me like that". It is a device, not a person, it has no feelings, and it is being used in a private home. No reason to police speech there.
Unfortunately, any job that you can do from home, with few skills required, and flexible hours, is going to pay poorly. Too many people will want the job.

They only need to pay the wage that the population in the lowest cost of living areas will accept.
For backend, JVM implies Java. Although Kotlin is safe choice as well, it's not as popular so I wouldn't suggest to use it, unless you have good reasons to (like team of Android developers who decided to build backend).
Yeah that is fair too. Most people have tiny data. Then there is places I have worked... where 10TB qualified as small data that you "just query with Presto" and where more exotic things were needed for actually interacting with the "big data".

All relative in the end.
As someone that works in an open floor plan I _hate_ when my coworkers laptops sound like jet planes because the fans are going full blast. It’s so distracting.
> The AI revolution is powered by these contractors making $15 an hour

Or it's powered by data centers filled with tens of thousands of GPGPU accelerator chips and a layer stacking architecture.

The ones paid hourly are actually lobotomizing the AIs to make them stupider and more docile. You can learn more about this from the youtube interviews with red teamers and bing integration devs who had access to the raw base models.
Well it's just a problem of finding the baseline.

I tend to think the "sensible" setting for the hardware is to afford the maximum dynamic range. This way no loss occurs if the material requires it, but if not, it needs to be limited it in software. This, of course, would lead to "ridiculously overbright" text, and limited contrast solves this problem more or less completely (this is why I override the background colour for my PDF viewer). My opinion is influenced by working with graphics, though.

I also believe the most common display technology used for desktops should be this baseline, and currently it's LCD.

However, this creates problems for people with different hardware and different eyesight and light sensitivity. Perhaps it's the OS that should provide some tooling to display the colours differently for different displays and different modes (image/text/other). The changes must be informed by the software, so for example, you could mark you site's colourscheme as "for reading" and the dynamic range would adapt properly.

The way the OS adapts that I saw is atrocious, perhaps because optimized for a different metric. My laptop changing the display brightness and contrast when I use Windows on battery looks bad regardless of what's on display.
Driving around costs gas and time every time you go do it.

Compromising the centralized server is a one-time cost; once you've snuck something in there to regularly send updates where you can see them, you get alerts on those 1/100 houses that are rich and dumb enough to pay for this overpriced "smart" boiler. Maybe you can even work out a way to let people all over the world subscribe to these updates for a fee and let them take the risk of actually breaking in and fencing stuff.

Heck, you could even hack your way into a bunch of other smart home servers, and bundle all of that up into a nice little darknet service offering regular updates of stuff like "everyone in a 20mi radius of a given point who is setting all their smart stuff to vacation mode". That sounds like it might be a pretty nice passive income stream if you don't care about the very obvious legal/ethical issues involved.

And maybe your nice little darknet service could also let people say "hey, do you know anything about jon-wood?" and reply with "why yes we do, here's a few hints, would you like to pay for more?".

The risk/reward calculations on this might only work out if you're a regular employee of a highly-organized crime ring instead of the mysterious hacker running a darknet site that serves as one of many hubs of a decentralized crime syndicate, I dunno. The hacker sure makes for a cooler story if you're writing a techno-thriller or a cyberpunk novel though. :)
Hoovers the reported twenty percent youth unemployment problem at risk of causing societal instability, perhaps, and create large talent pool for wagner/blackwater style international private security secondary market.
> Why do so many commenters on HN always sound so confident, yet none of them work in publishing?

To rephrase the question and make it less interesting: Why is it that none of the people who think that academic publishing is a scam are academic publishers?

It's like asking why abolitionists never seem to own slaves, or to show any understanding of a slaveholder's overhead.
Not really surprising. The m2 is just the same concept as the amd apu, but with sleeker branding and marketing. Amd has been doing apu since 2011, ages longer than apple

The whole m2 hootenany on hn reminded me of when retina came out. Its just a fancy branding for a hidpi display. Nothing inherently special.
