No idea if the operating system will support nvidia graphics cards on arm.

However, even if it does, the mac pro only has one 8 pin power connector and two 6 pin connectors.

The 4090 needs a 16 pin input, and I've only ever seen adapters that convert 2x8pin to 16. Maybe you could get one card running, but any more than that and you will need some kind of hacky external power supply setup.
> Additionally, why is it framed in a way that makes it seem like white people having more of an impact is a bad thing?

I don't really see this framing. I see an examination of "are older voters more conservative" "is that a change or is it other factors" that then briefly veers into predominant political leanings by race (in a sloppy, only-looking-at-two-races way), but not a lot of harsh judgemental terms there. More descriptive.

If indeed "some races have less political influence because they die earlier because they're poor" is true, though, and then you factor in "why are they poor" for some of those races and find some nasty answers... why wouldn't that be bad?

No thanks, I'll stick to my self-hosted VaultWarden.
I think it's ruled out by the fact that Nvidia would need to release macOS drivers, and there is no realistic chance of them doing so without Apple's support.
Ultimately a young site lives and dies on community. So I understand why. The average person looking for a site to talk on isn't concerned about the tech stack underneath. just that the experience is smooth.
The US conception of "left" and "right" doesn't map neatly onto other countries to begin with, but there's still some clarification needed.

Latino Americans are still overwhelmingly left-of-center (though perhaps not likely to be left enough to be "leftist").

The shift to the right has been relatively small (though consequential due to geography) and limited to certain groups. For example, Cuban Americans in Miami are much more likely to have moved to the right.
As far as I can tell, Windows 3.1 was designed around a pretty-coherent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooming_user_interface metaphor... as implemented on computers not powerful enough to actually do zooming UI.

Think about it: windows "iconified" to the desktop, and the icons for many programs and document types were intended to look like (a stylized version of) what the program's main window would look like if shrunk down to that size. You had windows inside windows; and in programs like Program Manager, you could open up icons inside windows to get more windows inside your windows.

All they needed to do is to make the windows that open up inside windows, open up embedded within the window that previously contained their icon (i.e. recursive MDI, rather than sibling MDI), and it'd have been true ZUI.

Of course, that would have been an awful idea on hardware without the ability to render anti-aliased resampled images in real-time, nor any input device that could implement an analogue pinch-to-zoom gesture.

But what I'm saying is, you could design an OS around "what Windows 3.1 was trying to do" today, and it'd be pretty cool.
Even better: "digital quality"
Good. I can't believe the Google argument for removal, being in effect "it's only slightly better in every single way than all the other formats we support, and not enough people jumped though the hoops to manually opt into it, so we're removing it entirely."
I'm seriously looking at implantable contacts just to avoid having to mess around with multiple pairs of glasses/ lenses.
macOS never really had the ability to run Windows games directly.

Either you ran a native macOS version/port of the game, or you ran a compatibility layer like Crossover, or you ran a Windows VM, or you rebooted into Windows using Boot Camp.
notabug.io was significantly better than this. The code is still on github for anyone who wants to try now that there's another wave of reddit exodus. https://github.com/notabugio/notabug
Alternatively, when you pose questions using push-poll style phrasing, you get push-poll style skewed responses that are not necessarily indicative of how many people would really support specific policies being enacted. That's why push polls are generally considered bad practice and a tool of people more interested in getting their preferred answer rather than discovering what people really think.

This is the somewhat rare case of a push poll designed to elicit a response those running the poll think is bad, so they can complain about it, but the principle is the same. "Would you support X to prevent [Y that most people think is bad]?" is a garbage question, because saying "no" immediately suggests the person answering the question doesn't actually object to "Y". You personally may be comfortable implying to a stranger that you don't care about reducing domestic violence, but enough people are weirded out by the implication that they'll answer in a way that allows Cato to rile up their target audience.

Of course supporting actual policies can work the same way, but polls aren't really a good way to measure this because there is zero cost in answering a poll compared to actually supporting something like a new law. It's one thing to tell a pollster you support a measure designed to combat domestic violence because you don't want to give the impression you don't care about the issue, it's another to support the measure in reality because now you have to consider all the other implications.

Also this is hardly my biggest objection, but Cato predictably labels the Democratic party as "Democrat" in their results chart. In my experience this is remarkably accurate Shibboleth for obnoxious right-wing political actors and fundamentally unserious people.
Probably, if you make the comparison the authors make, you get the numbers they got. If you compare five different groups instead of the two groups they used, then what a shock, the order of the five doesn’t match the order of the original 2.

Why would the commenter have made the comparison they do, if they wanted to consider the matter in good faith?
Food, shelter and electricity cost money. Unless these holier-than-thou programmers inherited wealth, they're going to have to do something to acquire money to pay for these necessities for keeping alive. If not, technology evolves at a crawl because everyone who codes can only do it as a part time hobby around their actual job. Which would go some way to explaining why half the open source software in the world such as Gimp is absolutely dreadful in comparison to the private offering.

Money is the best system we've come up with for the exchange of value of labour across industries, but you are welcome to go visit a farmer and attempt to agree on how many lines of code are equivalent to five parsnips and a dozen eggs.
Sorry, but your whole post is rhetoric.

1. more diversity doesn't equal "less white people." It means less white people proportionally, of course. But if your view is really "all people are the same" than it doesn't even matter whether there or more or less white people. Reading between the lines you seem to be suggesting that you, at least, think "more white people" is good. Just come out and say it, if that is your belief. No need to beat around the bush.
2. You don't have to be a genius to get the idea here: even if you imagine that white people are 100% not racist, wealthier white people may simply not have similar political priorities to poorer black people (your parent comment is also disingenuous to indicate asians and hispanics have longer lifespans, since this article is primarily about poorer black people). If it is the case that poorer black people die earlier then it stands to reason that their political interests are less served. No one has to be racist or "bad" for this to be the case. And, in a society which purports to want equal representation for all people, a systematic difference in literal years of life is a reasonable barrier to wish to overcome insofar as it affects voting.
3. this "stuff" gets published because differences (in for example, health outcomes) between black and white americans are profound and are directly correlated with segregation and political disenfranchisement. You might be some kind of weirdo who somehow believes society is 100% equal and everything black americans suffer is "their fault" but that view is, at the very least insufficiently universal that its pure and disingenuous rhetoric to assert it as if it is obvious and true. There is a shit-ton of research on this in public health: https://www.kff.org/racial-equity-and-health-policy/report/k...

As to the fact (indicated by the parent comment) that one's ethnic identity affects different ethnicities differently, well "no shit Sherlock." It is asinine to collapse the discussion about how race operates in our society to "white people" and "non-white people" and this article does not do that and does not even gesture in that direction.
Wow fascinating. How much better than AirPod Pros are they? I tend like the minimalism of the AirPod line. Super discreet, can easily stash in your pocket, can be listening to music anywhere and no one even really notices, etc. Oh and they work just as good on the treadmill or while running.
> were it not for unions

I think you mean literally the opposite of what this idiom signifies.
I work in Web3 and I would say cryptocurrency as a "currency" / speculative asset etc is a failure.

However, the underlying technology is legitimately interesting and solves a lot of hard problems (e.g. distributed systems, consensus, clock synchronisation across wide networks, provable ownership of assets, etc, etc).

I don't see any value in the coins blockchains operate on except maybe as a means for paying for execution on that network.

I do see a tonne of value in say, abstracting something like USDC payments/remittance/etc that runs very cheaply/quickly on (for example) Solana and remove middle men from these equations.

I think the market/world will optimize out of the un-interesting parts over time and the use cases that add value to the world will rise to the top.
Haha, I watched the video the other day on that channel, but I can't remember which video it was, sorry!

These ones are connected to Linda Moulton Howe.

I thought the hardware was a bit underwhelming considering Apple has an ultra-powerful chip that no one else has with amazing battery life...and they can only squeeze in 2 hours and there is a big cable running down/side of the headset. Maybe it's nicer in person. More impressive to me would be a really well-done pair of actual glasses that are "smart glasses" like the ThinkReality. This to me just doesn't solve any of the major problems with VR/AR (this is not really AR.)
> ~2010 MBP

Completely unsupported by Apple. Doesn't get OS updates or security updates. No apps get updates for it anymore through the App Store.

Saying that using a 2010 computer when it's an Apple computer is actually one of the worst arguments you can make in this context. Virtually any other computer running any other OS is more supported.

iPad was definitely mocked.
The Quest 2 has a PPI of 780, and the highest out right now is the HP Reverb with a 1057 PPI. The Vision Pro is 4000 PPI, a substantial jump. That’s not “just a micro OLED display.”
Because the article is specifically about disparities between black and white americans, not between white and "all non-white" americans.
The Vision Pro has 2 hours of battery life. You're not exactly going to replace your laptop with it.
Yes. I often feel like I'm being too pedantic when asking for clarification about who is doing what from people since I do it way more often than others, and honestly can't tell if I'm just not thinking hard enough about it to intuit the likely correct answer or most people just let it go much longer and eventually work it out from context or assume and risk being wrong.
Most VR goggles eventually cause pretty significant eyestrain due to vergence-accommodation conflict [1] and other issues all of which get significantly worse the closer to the user the virtual objects are.

Apple's display is, I guess, in best-of-class, but they have no special sauce at all on this, and no physical IPD adjustment at all, and so this device as previewed is basically only useful for media consumption and maybe something like a telepresence meeting, albeit not long duration. Without controllers it's unlikely to even work well for most games.

Basically this is the best of a huge crowd of not very good VR helmets with probably industry-leading AR camera-based passthrough.

> of which there still doesn’t exist a high resolution model

QHD 32" works great, it's not quite two monitors but if you are using a tiling window manager or spend all your time in editor windows it's perfectly practical.
To me, curved monitor makes complete sense. Edges just become too far with flat displays up close.
The paper doesn't contain the word "white." This is New York Magazine editorializing.
There’s some self selection to the ones who live in the US. The Cuban community in Florida, for instance.
Too bad we now live in the 2020s where no one wants to do that or look stupid doing that. A camera strapped to your face and you having to move your own face/body to zoom into something is way more ridiculous than the camcorders of those eras.
> What happens when 1 million connections get disconnected and try to reconnect at the same time?

I think the distributed system term for your problem is called the 'thundering herd problem,' so searches that involve that would likely be fruitful. "Thundering herd websockets" would probably be fruitful.

From a reliability perspective, implement exponential back-off on the client that includes jitter. This is a core necessity in all clients. I only skimmed this article, but it looked right: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/architecture/exponential-backof...

When Signal had outages from the increased load during the WhatsApp exodus, it was due to this not being implemented in their clients.

Additionally, consider your load balancing architecture. If one machine goes down, do all reconnects go to that machine, or do the reconnects get distributed to all the machines? Can you administratively drain a machine? Can you quickly allocate some spare capacity?

Lastly, you can get into situations where your entire infrastructure is overloaded. You will need a throttling mechanism. That throttling mechanism can synergisticly work with your load balancer or client. If you benchmark your server and it can only handle 500 concurrent re-connections, then that is a hard limit you know you can enforce fail-fast behavior with.

Summary:

Clients implemented with exponential backoff and jitter
Loadbalancer architecture
Defensive "fail fast" throttling or ability to administratively throttle.
So unimpressive. The demos were terrible. Who would actually use it the way it was presented?
There's a JS/WASM polyfill for JXL, but it involves some fragile hacks like MutationObserver and canvas writes, has worse performance than native code, and tends to crash Chrome.
I don't really see why that's logical. Should aluminum suppliers get board seats on Mercedes Benz if labor suppliers do?

That doesn't make sense though. You don't need to render/composite what isn't visible.
The vast majority of the time you bring a device into the Apple store they want to sell you a new one and scrap the old one.

Practically all generic drugs are available because the original drug is off-patent. You picked one (insulin) and ignored all the others:

You can already spatially interact with 3D content on a regular screen. Thousands of CAD people do it all day for a living, they even have specialised peripherals for 3D navigation like the 3DConnexion stuff.
>Very nice if they did this as a supportive gesture

The whole reddit API kerfuffle happened like 4 days ago. I think the presentations were recorded well before then- FWIW Kojima was in Cupertino 2 weeks ago
In addition to not rating within a category/genre, I actually find that people tend to overweight meal price in their weighting (e.g. an expensive but average Italian dinner gets a higher rating than a phenomenal and cheap slice of pizza)
Look into exponential backoff with jitter. 15 second retry logic sounds like bad news.
DRM in Steam is mostly up to the developers. They provide the API for it but hardly anyone implements it. I'm fairly sure I can launch most of my library without Steam even running.
Like the OP, I found I was more efficient/comfortable on a single screen compared to the 3 or 4 I have had at one point. Now in my 40s, I find myself more comfortable on a 13" laptop compared to a 34" screen. It's just easier to concentrate.

IMHO ideal computer use is to move things in front of your eyes instead of moving your eyes/head. Your area of focus is quite small with almost no value to filling your peripheral vision.
Bold claim. I'll making a prediction: no movement towards this outcome let's say limit 10% loss of tx percentage in usd, at this same time in 2 years.
It's kind of always like this when it comes to arguments against Apple. It's kind of a Stockholm Syndrome problem.
>The benefits of the iPhone over current devices (both phones and MP3 players) were crystal-clear,

I don't remember that at all. Windows phones could do essentially everything the first iPhone could do, and in 3G. What they couldn't do was do it seamlessly and quickly like an iPhone and that made all the difference.
Right, but we (humanity) understand the purpose-made ML that Apple talked about today just fine, which is why it's better not to use a fuzzy term
You probably should watch the presentation video, it’s absolutely both AR AND VR, it’s just Apple are (quite rightly) betting that the real user interest lies in the AR side of things.

Switching to VR progressively with the dial is genius UI design imo
ai sure can't program for us yet (at least not in any appreciable level; speaking as a senior engineer). But it is quite nifty for sketching things or quickly getting some syntax or boiler palate down. It hasn't helped me solve any non-trivial problem but it has saved me a fair bit of trivial work every few days
I’m not sure how that motivates someone to say “look, Asians live longer” and act like they have somehow caught the authors in a lie?
> I still don't understand why I can't fetch a URL from top level javascript.

> Maybe javascript async is build upon regular promises and regular objects, instead as a proper language element with proper support in the javascript engines?

Yes, they are promises.

> The async and await keywords enable asynchronous, promise-based behavior to be written in a cleaner style, avoiding the need to explicitly configure promise chains.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

> The naive approach (put async calls in a queue, and periodically check if they are completed or can be executed) seems fast, deterministic, and good enough in every way? Okay, maybe zig needs the speed, and can't just stop the execution of the sync code time to time to do something else, but why javascript?

You're describing preemptive multitasking. You can create separate execution threads pretty easily in most languages (even super old C code), but that's not why Javascript and Zig have the 'async' keyword. The difficult part isn't the asynchronous execution; the hard part is handling the result from asynchronous code (i.e. the 'await' part). Promises are a simple mental model for organizing how pieces of code depend on the results of other pieces of code. The C# documentation does a good job explaining this:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/asynchronous...

Note: From Zig's documentation it sounds like 'async' is cooperative multitasking. This is single-threaded execution. It is "concurrent" code, but it isn't executing in "parallel".

Concurrency is difficult because it is explicitly resource management. You don't need concurrency for calculating the correct answer, you only need it for managing time.
I remember reading it having to do with diet. But as trends such as "super foods" grow and the obesity epidemic expands into south america, these trends likely aren't going to last. As staple foods in latin american countries see the price of their foods increase. And the shifting diets towards unhealthy alternatives that are priced cheaper than said goods.
The way our first past the post system works, a few percentage points is enormously impactful. A few percentage point swing in Florida could change presidential elections permanently.
Try asking an engineer how long a task will take
I've always wondered how this is done. Like, if I'm born lower class, but can see through all the bullshit, how the game is played, the investor pump and dump exit schemes, can I play the game? Or is entry to the game only possible via a special ticket, i.e. like an Ivy League degree? Are these milkers and exit strategists starting off well-connected already?
