Didn't they also lose one of their key employees? That was arguably in 2019, before the M1 came out, so I don't know how much of an impact Gerard Williams actually had, but I do wonder if they can keep the team together.

(Edit: Just googled, Gerard Williams is now at Nuvia and in the middle of a lawsuit with Apple)
> gaming will likely never move to arm.

Oh, it can if Nvidia, AMD and Microsoft push it.

Most of the back catalog can probably run fine emulated, though you may want to stick to x86 for those older CPU bound sim games that aren't going to get a recompile.
Interesting. Difficult to tell how complex the bugs are though. Some of them seem to be just triggered by accessing non-existent CSRs which suggests those chips haven't been very well verified already?

Funnily enough the Sail model had this bug too! https://github.com/riscv/sail-riscv/issues/256

there isnt so much collaboration only more of a truce
Agreed, mostly because I'm looking forward to the CM5. But I do have a Pi 5 on pre-ordered along with the official wall wort and the active cooler. I skipped the case because I'm thinking about a Flirc and wondering if Coolermaster will bring out a Pi 5 version of their 4B case.
Dunno... If I followed you around while in public and recording everything you said and did, in public, is that surveillance?

The software industry is young. Using cars, planes, freaking building is a cheap shot, we have been making these for a longer time, and even with cars, I could argue the efficiency point. Besides, software's primary platform, the hardware, is also moving forward really fast. Why would something that's built upon it move not as fast?
The idea that your muscles have enough strength on the upstroke to contribute meaningfully to cycling is actually a bit of a misunderstanding. Your leg muscles for lifting are much much much weaker than your leg muscles for pushing - they're designed to only lift up the weight of your leg and not much more.

The main advantage of the clips is to keep your leg in contact with the pedal throughout the cycle and make sure the ball of your foot is optimally placed on the pedal. With a traditional pedal you have to keep some downward force on the pedal to create friction to avoid slipping off, so even when that leg is rising up, you can't completely unload the pedal. With clips you can completely unload the pedal.
Say a site uses WEI to block Google’s crawlers. If Google actually respected that then maybe it’s a fair playing field. But knowing Google they’ll issue their crawlers valid certs and create a huge dystopian nightmare.
I had the NUC with Vega M, the so called Hades Canyon, and it was awesome. Pricy but awesome. It was my media and gaming PC in the living room. For a while it was also the VR machine too with Steam-based VR working great.
It started off well. I thought this idea was insightful:

"This is often the real challenge to tech incumbents: once the network effects are locked in, it’s very hard to get people to switch to something that’s roughly the same but 10% better - they switch to something that solves one underlying need in an entirely new way."

Then it devolved into a rant about Nazis.

One lens that summarizes:

We don’t refactor, why not?

Bloat is a default state in problem solving. Yes, shipping fast / MVP feeds it.

But refactoring is how all the highly optimized systems we have exist.

So why is refactoring so rarely done?

Because it almost always fails, outright.

Most refactors never make it out the door.

A few will succeed in shipping, but being worse than the original product.

Even fewer will reach feature parity.

Refactors that are a net positive are incredibly rare.

One of the reasons I’m rooting for AI powered tools. It’s a hopeless cause without them.
Not PP, but I used to work for an automotive subcontractor company, and I've heard a few stories about fatal car accidents that lead to lawsuits, which proved that the car design was the reason for the accident, yet the car manufacturer just payed "damages" to the relatives (or settled out of court, maybe) and never bothered to change the design. Apparently, it was more expensive to reconfigure their production pipelines than pay for an occasional death.

That said, this is probably what any big enough company would do. So your point still stands, maybe car manufacturers are no different.
Ye and?

Obviously they entered the market with simply good products, but that doesn't change the fact that now they have a lot of power that comes simply from their size.
Im not saying its their only advantage, just that it plays big role.

But also, common now. Today's platform lockins are much more impactful then anything we had in the 90'. And you don't compete with Google's product anymore, but rather you compete with ecosystem that half of the world bought in. Which makes it practically impossible to be a viable alternative

Very much dependant on your workload. At least on my M1 Pro MacBook. I spend my day doing JavaScript and Rust dev and the fans spin up maybe once every few weeks. Usually when a process is accidentally in an infinite loop and consuming far more resources than it should. Occasionally when I need to compile something really big. And it only gets warm when I use it on my bed leaving it with no airflow at all.
eDRAM Broadwell was respectable.

Unsurprisingly, Intel made it for Apple, and they were pretty much the only OEM that used it.

Anyway, I think Intel sold some NUCs with them, but they were very expensive.
They don't have to remove content whenever someone just says its defamatory.

They have to remove defamatory content once someone has told them it's defamatory. Essentially the ball is put into Google's court at the point, with the question: are you willing to defend this as non-defamatory? Which is the same question all primary publishers face.
Coming back to add, I think the following sentences have identical meanings:

"Acceptable forms of identification include driver's license, passport, and birth certificate."

"Acceptable forms of identification include driver's license, passport, or birth certificate."
Fair, may have been a dumb question :)
>Yeah but this time the tech is based on stealing people's intellectual property. Hopefully this theft ends soon.

It isn't necessarily or fundamentally, though. Public data was just the most accessible training corpus for the POC phase of adoption. Getty just released their first licensed model, and I suspect things like that will pick up steam as the tech has rapidly commoditized.

That being said we will probably end up with a supreme court ruling on this in the next five years, and I strongly believe it will come down on the side of fair use.

IBM NorthPole runs AI-based image recognition 22 times faster than current chips
Reading https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adh1174, that’s “a 22 times lower time metric of latency […] relative to a graphics processing unit (GPU) that uses a comparable 12-nanometer technology process”
Which doesn't mean that blade-runner type people don't have an advantage.
Switched over to yarn a while back. I’ve been developing some front-ends without even knowing yarn 2 was out there… The other day I started a new Next.js project and reached for yarn only to realize that it had jumped two versions (three now, apparently) I had to learn a bunch of new shit. I was like, nah, back to npm for me.

For comparison, not long ago I switched from pipenv to poetry and that was pretty much drop-in, with nevertheless markedly incremental improvements.

I love UI development. If only I could get to building the actual thing…
One difference I would guess is scale. In SF there are AI meetups every day, and the big ones on weekends have literally hundreds of developers actively writing code all day. There are typically at least 2 events with >100 developers every Saturday and probably 20-30 of various smaller sizes.
There are certainly things that may be worth trying to protect children from online, like extremely targeted advertising that gets presented like legitimate content. Kids won't necessarily be able to differentiate between the two, and it's definitely not okay for companies to be tracking and profiling them like they do (but pretend to not be doing). A great example is reddit or instagram using the same algorithms that recommend content in their main feeds to also inject advertising. They'll claim all of that data collection is just to provide a "better experience", but advertising companies love it.

I'm really not sure what else you're on about though.
I agree GitHub is not popular because of its minimal and pointless social features. It became popular because Git is good and they nailed the cloud part of source control.

However, social was definitely there as part of the original pitch. The tagline was "social coding" for a long time.

But also if you're buying GitHub stars or worrying about people's contribution squares, you're probably not doing great work.
Propose a delta and time window of meaningful signal.
I don't understand the aarch64 hotness. Is it because Apple did it? At the end of the day it's just a different instruction set- what makes that such an advantage?
Yes. The direction and velocity of travel is very worrying. We've already lost a lot of our rights for peaceful protest. Inconveniencing people with your protest? That's the whole point of protesting isn't it? Fuck the Conservative party. I hope they are destroyed at the next election.
If the Orca can get their evolutionary efforts in gear, there's good eatin' to be had.

Yes, it would me more notable if a client could somehow compromise the server, which may work theoretically as an internal attack vector in a software dev organization.

I agree that compromising a distro server is unlikely, but I suppose a mitm attack could be plausible though, and this would give arbitrary code execution.

EDIT: or is it ACE? The article seems to emphasize sending arbitrary _data_ to the client, so now I'm confused. If you can make the binary print something else, surely you have ACE?
Or do you have to step through the code?

Generally I’ve seen a big difference in engineering output between those who see their system as a product, with users, and as a reflection of themselves in its ability to perform well, including under load and at scale, vs those who see it as a challenge to product a program that does X.

The product builders tend to understand that no matter how smart the implementation, not functioning means it all counts for nothing.

At the end of the day it has to run, and the ops matters. This means those product oriented engineers build systems that actually scale and perform their purpose well.

It’s a spectrum, not binary. But to a large extent stops it being heavy when performance and availability are seen as worthy features.

And at some point in every org the engineers who keep things running are valued because it’s actually challenging to keep things running, and things running powers the business. Over any significant timeline Ops always matters.

I’d love for this to be a significant measure against cars in Stockholm. Outside tourist areas, cars are given overwhelming precedence over pedestrians and cyclists. But unfortunately it’s a typical PR effort: the area which is supposedly banning petrol and diesel cars is a tiny part of the city center, frequented only by affluent shoppers and tourists, and as it doesn’t affect EVs, the predominance of cars over other users will remain.

As usual, motor-loving Swedes just want some good international PR, while driving their beloved cars as usual.
Yarn 2 (and 3) has been great for me, but I disabled PnP from the beginning, and only used the node-modules linker.

You can't represent 1/50 exactly in binary, thus arithmetic coding can't be equal to the usual numeric base conversion.

Arithmetic coding will produce an encoding from binary to 50-ary symbols. But then again, there are much simpler ways to do that if exact base conversion is not a requirement (e.g. choose a good enough approximate solution for 2^n = 50^m and do the conversion in n-bit chunks).
> What device did You use to write this comment?

Actually? An old iPad on WiFi that is stationed on the other side of several walls.

Honestly, a lot of people don’t mind waiting a second for actions to complete. (For some of us, it’s the only pause we get to take during the day.)

There are enough low-end phone sales that we should be able to accept that some people really don’t mind taking an extra moment if it saves a dollar.

This really isn’t to say that software should be slow, but I think we should acknowledge that speed is not the sole value that users concern themselves with when using software. Many times it isn’t even a primary value.

In the "clipped to cycling pedals" example, the description I was recommended to aim for was "rolling a log in a circle" as opposed to pushing/pulling.

It makes a big difference to be able to have both legs "inputting" energy into the system at the same time. I would say "non-linear response" but that's probably inaccurate... but maybe not? Basically once you've overcome rolling resistance to _start_ going up a hill, being able to continue it with "both legs" instead of one feels like you're not overcoming the "zero-to-one" hurdle as much and instead staying in the "one-to-two" zone. Like you're not "starting over" every downstroke, but instead transitioning your power from one leg to the other.

Given a pretty basic commuter bike that I'd upgraded over time, it felt like moving from ~35 to ~20 tires (basic to "road bike") felt like "gaining a gear" (what used to need 1st gear, I could now do in 2nd), and same with clips, also "gaining a gear" (cumulative: now I could be in 3rd instead of being in 1st).
Yeah, I never attempted things like lactic acid fermentation and the homemade sauerkraut, kimchi or pickles has been a mixed bag, to be honest.
yeah also bike speeds keeps mechanical difficulty optimal, vs having to move your legs very fast at minimal difficulty
when I'm screwed by some business I'll tell anybody who will listen and I hold the grudge for years lmao
I'm trying to acknowledge my bias in that a) I still use Twitter, and b) I don't really see it as demonstrably different in any way than it was a year or two or four ago, with the exception of a lot of people complaining about it being SO much worse.

So with that being said, what is unique about Twitter in that so many people feel the need to announce their departure like this? I stopped using Twitter for years in the mid-10s after 4-5 years of daily usage and certainly didn't write a blog post about it, and I started my freelancing career there. I've gotten jobs and met IRL friends on Twitter, it was an important part of my life especially ca. 2009-2012 or so.

Yes, elliptical chainrings are great IMHO, especially if you train for elliptical continual exertion. Added 2km to my speed.
Those people are expressing grief. Twitter was one thing, and has changed into a substantially different thing. Something that has been a meaningful part of their lives for, in many cases, well over a decade.

If you care about those people, compassion might be helpful, no matter how you feel about the actual changes. If you don't care about them - which is perfectly valid, we can't care about the entire Internet - I suggest just not engaging on those posts. It's kinder to them and you.

The Power and Promise of Zero-Shot Prompting
The ISS goes to great lengths to support life in space – it's just hard to be selective about which types of life.

So unless the nanofiches are somehow stuck to the heat exchanger of a secret lunar base or similar, I'd assume that they would go biologically inert (or at least dormant) very quickly.
There's other improvements too. Anecdotally I've seen Yarn 2+ install faster than Yarn 1. The UI output is more informative. The workspace behavior has been pretty solid. The "install Yarn 1 globally, Yarn 2+ per-repo" bootstrapping behavior is a bit quirky, but it does make it nice that everyone using the repo is using the same Yarn version for actual execution.

I like the _idea_ of PnP conceptually, but my experience was that there's too many other tools that depend on having `node_modules` on disk for things to work out okay.
The fan never spins up for me (does the MacMini have a fan?), but then again I just do web development all day. I have my super powered machine (and hot and noisy) in the back room (Ryzen 5950X + NVIDIA RTX) that I remote into if I need to do a render.
Any muscle is trainable. To some extent. If you cycle enough, you will develop muscles necessary to pull the pedal up.

Additionally, the goal isn't to double your power output. It is to be better than the other cyclist. Even by just a tiny bit.

I personally think that clipping the feet helps more with left right stability. Also, if you are pulling with one leg, you can potentially push more with the other. Normally you can only push as much as you weight, but with the other leg clipped you can push your weight plus the force you use to pull the other pedal.
> Pilots seem to very underpaid and overworked.

Genuine question: do you think that the police do absolutely nothing but make their communities worse? Like I get the attempt at a parallel but it's just weirdly forced.
tldr: the foundational problem is lack of liability

The whole ecosystem of modern programming and software is just insanely opaque. As an enduser you have very little clue who is to blame for an error or a slow machine.

Imagine your car would not been build by a single company, liable for the whole product, but you would buy the individual components from twenty+ different companies, rangin from ibm to small startups. No central planing. They all have their own take on it. They just set a few standarts for how the things bolt up. It would be the same mess.

Like in the earlier days of analog tech, ransomware attacks today are blamed on bad luck. Just put up some Antivirus gemstones in your Outlook and don't forget to get your security christened with some certifications.

But to be fair, people seldomly die from slow software.
> Modern cars work, let’s say for the sake of argument, at 98% of what’s physically possible with the current engine design. Modern buildings use just enough material to fulfill their function and stay safe under the given conditions. All planes converged to the optimal size/form/load and basically look the same.

Cars cost around X * $10,000 each. Houses cost Y * $100,000 each. The author is ignoring the economics of producing real world goods.
> This simply isn't true, outside of large chains or supermarkets. Many smaller businesses like pubs, "kiosks", barbers, non-chain restaurants, and so on, are cash only.

I have a different experience. I pay by card even for < 1 eur things almost everywhere (from time to time): sometimes I just have no cash with me anymore and I am totally ok. This has changed dramatically in the last 10 years, and I wish that the mainstream theme was different than "wooooow in Germany they still accept cash-only". Until now I only experienced this "cash-only" limitation in very few places.

My recommendation, though, is to always have some cash on you, especially if you don't know where you're going. But I would do the same in any other country in the world.
I came here to complain about how there are two JS package managers that are virtually identical, and learned there is a third. Fellas, sort this out. This is a waste of human potential.

(I also still think package managers should be language and ecosystem independent. We just need one way of getting named and versioned folders of files from the internet.)
Not related to tech at all; tina.io brings me joy with it's marketing. It's all a direct reference to Napoleon Dynamite which still makes me smile when I think about it.

I went to the article to check the image and it looks like a orca attacking something. What was disturbing in this image?

I am genuinely asking because with the amount of brutality we see everyday that picture did not look bad to me.
Prior to switching to Apple Silicon, Apple prepared the path with their effort to push for universal binaries by default

Software made yesterday were already prepared to run on their new silicon

Rosetta was only a transition helper, not meant to be a permanent solution

Microsoft didn't do any of that, and still doesn't, their leadership is clueless and dangerous

If Microsoft doesn't put in the effort, it'll never work

Let's hope there's no secret agreement to exclude Linux (?AMD AI?)

I wish Valve would encourage developpers to submit ARM binaries to prepare for the future...

Why only Apple is able to pull it off? Why this lack of care from everybody else?
