which is mostly behind a paywall.

I'm sure there are some idiom confusions possible between different languages related to ordering/wanting something versus having that thing. Like in English one could order something with "I'll have ...". If you were translating "I'll have" into Portuguese in other contexts (like "I'll have an appointment at noon"), it could just be "tenho", not even necessarily "vou ter"!

(I don't mean to suggest that that's the exact problem here; for one thing, it was apparently Russian-to-Portuguese.)
This has always been my thoughts as well, and it seems like they have the data required, but I always think they are worried about some false positive issues. These companies should have the resources to build deployable models for this.
I think it will collapse due to widespread agricultural failure way before stored resources are used up.

It only takes a couple days of temperature being inhospitable for the plants and animals we rely on to die en mass.

The resulting food shortages will destroy humanity in parts around the world. This will effect advanced and primitive economies alike.

I too grew up in a family with beaters. But I have a more richer friend who has some road rage in his nicer car. I've heard him "wish they would hit me" when angry because they have full coverage and no worries of a replacement car - those with a beater and worse insurance have to be extra careful since they don't easily have a replacement.
The mainstream marketing for iPhone 15 is only highlighting that's its made from titanium... I'm sure there is some innovation in manufacturing, and I do love my 15, but it's devoid of any innovation.
I expect it's a combination:

1. Engineering bandwidth (it's work to upgrade a lineup! They probably need at least a year)

2. Manufacturing bandwidth - they probably spent the first half of the year manufacturing the 3nm iphone processor while researching the mbp processor. I expect it's difficult to ramp manufacturing on many chips simultaneously

3. Sure, consider the demand side. If my parents are going to buy a new laptop and a new phone this year, I think they would be more likely to do that 6 months apart. Similarly, I expect keeping a cadence of announce products a,b,c in this quarter and d,e,f in that quarter helps keep apple in the news (for good/exciting things)

Wrt machine learning: I can't wait for the results to come out for this once we can get our hands on it
Yes, it is complex. I agree that providing personal data to trustworthy research programs is beneficial to the public. Do you agree that providing detailed health data to untrustworthy corporations can easily become problematic? Because so far, you've made it sound like you don't see a reason for an individual to not provide their data to 23andme.
Or how about "we want to update a 3rd party library due to a critical security issue, but we can't because that library is used in 500 different parts of the code and no way in hell can we stop development across the entire org for multiple weeks".

With microservices, you deploy the updates to public facing services first, write any learnings down, pass it along to the next most vulnerable tier.

Heck on multiple occasions I've been part of projects where just updating the build system for a monolithic codebase was a year+ long effort involving dozens of engineers trying to work around commits from everyone else.

Compare this to a microservice model where you just declare all new services get the new build tools. If the new tools come with a large enough carrot (e.g. new version of typescript) teams may very well update their own build tooling to the latest stuff without anyone even asking them to!
A few years ago, I tried to figure out the battery life of the latest iPhone. The comparison page would only say "2 more hours than iPhone X", "4 more hours than iPhone 8", etc. Eventually I worked my way backwards to the iPhone 6 where the battery life was just listed as "—".
When you're successful at life it's called "neurodiversity".

Just as Qualcomm shows it's chips are getting better, Apple pounces! The layout looks very different from m2, it must have been delayed. Does anyone know if it's using HBM3?
They compare to M1 because that is their target audience upgrades not M2.
Sadly, only a handful of GPUs out there have hardware AV1 encoding chips. If I read the product page correctly, that new M3 architecture still cannot encode AV1 from hardware.
Of course. Have been since M1 Max. My MacBook Pro M1 Max powers two external displays.
>When can I order these most advanced PC chips for my next build?

If you have several billion dollars to convince them to sell them for you as standalone chip, very soon!
No mention of the Ultra.

Should we expect an M3 Ultra, with the interposer, or have they ditched that idea?

I can't really tell from the die shot if it's been cropped out, or is just missing.

The M2 was a tiny upgrade over the M1 since the 5nm to 4nm step was tiny, 4nm was basically 5nm. The M3 is probably running on TSMC's 3nm which is a huge improvement over both their 5nm and 4nm processes.
Especially necessary for those who, for many centuries, have not been well-paid by the capitalists who took advantage of their situation. Sometimes called exploitation. A practice often maintained by keeping native governments de-stabilized. (See e.g. history of the Caribbean. Or Hawaii.)

Why would Roko's basilisk play a big part in your reasoning?

In my experience, it's basically never been a part of serious discussions in EA/LW/AI Safety. Mostly, comes up when people are joking around or when speaking to critics who raise it themselves.

Even in the original post, the possibility of this argument was actually more of a sidenote on the way to main point (admittedly, he's main point involved an equally wacky thought experiment!).
E-waste? Apple devices retain their value really well. If you don’t hand them down, you sell them.
Seemingly no. So far it looks like (someone please correct me if I’m wrong):
- M3, 1 external display
- M3 Pro, 2 external displays
- M3 Max, 4 external displays

This has to be a product differentiation decision at this point, right? Is there any serious technical limitation against more displays in the base chip, that Apple has not been able to solve in three generations?
The article didn't brine identity politics at all. I'll agree that the swerve into politics was weird, especially since they didn't tie it in to the article at all (except, perhaps, a reach for a pun involving "power"). Not all politics is identity politics, if words have any meaning.

I understood they wanted a comparison to the M2, the most recent version. Most people care about “what changed since last version” it’s disingenuous to say “X faster!! (Than an model out date by a year)”
Besides wanting to clear out existing M1/M2 capacity, I don't there's enough M3 stock right now.

I forget how many fabs TSMC has that have 3-nanometer capability, but it's gotta be low. Apple's supposedly got _all_ of TSMC's capacity[0], but I doubt it's enough.

Ah so you’re talking about the package sources (e.g. Nix files, PKGBUILD, etc.). I guess that’s closer to commit signing, I think? Well Nixpkgs maintainership is much more bazaar than cathedral, for better or worse, and that stymies some of that. However most Nixpkgs maintainers do not have commit access at all. Nixpkgs is at least moving the right direction (I think) by limiting the power of committers to submit changes without review. Should Nixpkgs committers sign their commits? Probably, yea.
Oh it started way before 2016, I remember it was somewhat discussed within some circles in 2009 / 2010 already. At least in the hardware industry enthusiast forum. Remember Apple brought P.A. Semi in 2008. Partnered with Samsung Foundry. And Mac Tablet would come in 2009 before we know it as iPad in 2010 . There were talks / rumours and push of Intel becoming a foundry in 2011, and later 2013 they announced Intel Custom Foundry. [1]

There were lots and lots of signals in the background that Apple is serious about their chip strategy all the way back in 2009. It wasn't so much about switching to ARM as an ISA, which is somehow what most people focused on. But switching to self designed and fabbed SoC for cost efficiency. And that was before the internet knew anything about TSMC or Semiconductor Foundry.

[1] I still remember I gave another year to Intel to see if they improve their strategy but BK was simply a complete failure. Decided to bet against Intel and bought AMD at below $3 a share.
That's pretty funny and fits the definition. I wonder how long it takes for someone protesting this EO to create an AI that generates "AIs" like this to flood the reporting system with announcements of testing and red-team test results. Just following orders sir!
That looks impressive, but why they show animations at so low fps as a demonstration of performance?

Surely they should play it at 60 or more fps...

This question is in bad faith, and you know it. You know Apple doesn't sell chips.
> With the M3 family of chips, hardware-accelerated ray tracing comes to the Mac for the first time. Ray tracing models the properties of light as it interacts with a scene, allowing apps to create extremely realistic and physically accurate images. This, along with the new graphics architecture, allows pro apps to deliver up to 2.5x the speed of the M1 family of chips.

Does this mean we can finally play Cyberpunk 2077 on a laptop? Is it going to be anywhere near as powerful as desktop Nvidia cards?
Yeah. I went through a rigorous exercise with sales last year to try to get a good estimate on what it would cost to run the database for a year for our application. They said it would be around 150k.

I threw all of their configuration advice out the window and run all extra small at 1 minute idle. No issues for my use case and we paid 17k for the year.

I have to expect that snow will change their pricing model soon.
I have the same M1 Max as a personal machine and just got a maxed out M2 Max for work. The M2 Max does feel faster through daily use but that could also be related to the new install?
OOTL here. Are there any major phones which implement RISC-V? Also, does this require across the stack changes? i.e. not just OS ones.
Getting the government to regulate your competition isn't 5d chess, it's barely even chess. If you study the birth of any technology in the last 200 years -- rail, electricity, radio, integrated circuits, etc -- you will see the same playbook put to this use. Any good tech executive must be aware of this history.

None of this requires every doomer to be disingenuous or even ill-informed, or even for specific leaders to by lying about their beliefs. It's just that those beliefs that benefit highly capitalized companies get amplified, and the alternatives not so much.
So they remove MacBook 13 inch and replace with MacBook 14 inch as base. Many people will see the $500 off. Good selling strategy.

Btw, I didn't see the comparison with M2 chip. Could anyone give me the reference for that? Thank you.

Here's some example US->EU Markups for other laptops in the same (EU) price range, sold direct by manufacturers to Ireland (list price to list price, so tax excl in US, tax incl in EU):

- Macbook Pro (M3, 8GB RAM, 512 GB Storage): $1549 -> €2049 ($2179) = 40% Markup

- Dell XPS 15 (i3-13700H, RTX 4050, 16GB RAM, 512GB Storage): $1865 -> €1989 ($2110) = 13% Markup

- Framework 16 (Prebuilt Performance Pro - Ryzen 7840HS, 16GB RAM, 512GB Storage): $1739 -> €1907 ($2023) = 16% markup

Apple's EU markup is an outlier here.
We do. I was just at my day job. If someone else doesn't get to it this evening, I'll add something.
Exactly. I imagine most of the benefit of the new 3nm process is related to power draw. I'll bet the memory is the same stuff as the prior generation though, given those specs haven't seemed to change at all.
The horrors of using information for research?

I'm on board with the idea that it's going to be difficult to make the opt in on something like this respectful of the actual wishes of the participants, but they are at least partly working in that direction.
There were comparisons to the M1 and M2 in the presentation, and indeed the linked website.
They've gone into every xbox owner's house and destroyed their property with prejudice. 3rd party controllers, all of them, including all never used to cheat become non-functional and worthless.

At that point I don't give a flying fig what excuse they are using. Neither should the law when it comes to wanton destruction of property. Property rights are a thing!
Apple launched M2 MBPs only in January. I wonder if Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite (benchmarking now, but not in products until mid-2024) drove some of the timing on this launch: https://www.windowscentral.com/hardware/laptops/qualcomm-bri...
Today, we saw independent benchmarks of Qualcomm's new 4nm chip that provided 50% (Geekbench) to 100% (Cinebench) more multicore performance than M2, while using 23W. And it can efficiently encode AV1. Maybe M4 will catch up.
I'd like to fault the Pixar argument in yet another aspect - every Pixar video any of us have ever seen is heavily compressed. I did not appreciate how much is lost that way until I started playing real demos on the big screen as opposed to their youtube rendering.

Take Through the Cracks by Still - it is not compressable, and everyone I show it to on the big projection wall agrees that it is unlike any video they've ever experienced.
> 2. Manufacturing bandwidth - they probably spent the first half of the year manufacturing the 3nm iphone processor while researching the mbp processor. I expect it's difficult to ramp manufacturing on many chips simultaneously

Sort of. It's that the whole concept of a "ramp" implies that manufacturing things (not just chips!) starts expensive and risky and get cheaper and reliable over time as people work out the kinks in the various processes.

The M2 is mature. TSMC can make them reliably and in high quantity at low marginal price. Why would you *not* sell a product like that if there's a market for it?
everyone is going to get on the HTMX wagon

This is an infinite cycle with JS though. Someone tired of JS complexity writes a simple JS lib (SJSLib), SJSLib attracts people for simplicity, SJSLib grows complex because it has to support all the web things, someone tired of SJSLib complexity writes a simple JS lib...

I say this as someone who started with raw JS and fought IE5/6 for years, jQuery then saved us all, skipped over AngularJS because it was meh, React beta finally came around and loved it for FP ideals, now wade thru piles of transpiling / hot-reload / Typescript and React fat-libs. Have also written a few projects with both Intercooler (and now HTMX).

HTMX is overall solid, but this ain't the first wagon to come through town.
Extroverted conscientious people rule the world. By their nature they get together and get things done. There’s a reason Jesus advocated for the meek, but also a reason that they need advocates.

Something like a better screen, wireless, camera, weight reduction, ports, gaming initiative, I don’t know, something more exciting than just a spec bump.
It is a basic feature. I dare you to find a single laptop not made by Apple with an MSRP of $1000+ that only does a single external monitor that's currently sold. If all your competitors have it, it's table stakes.

Sure SOME people can tolerate it or are dumb enough to reward Apple for it, but it doesn't make a basic feature premium.

"Nepotism has been and remains one of the biggest curses of political development in South and Southeast Asia." [1]

"In the late 20th century, some Asian leaders including former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad advocated "Asian-style capitalism," which meant a state- or family-led economy. But this system is showing signs of doing more harm than good to many Asian nations which have joined the ranks of middle-income countries." [2]

"When a leader gives his daughter a government contract, it’s nepotism. But it’s also cooperation at the level of the family, well explained by inclusive fitness, undermining cooperation at the level of the state. When a manager gives her friend a job, it’s cronyism. But it’s also cooperation at the level of friends, well explained by reciprocal altruism , undermining the meritocracy." [3]

There's the obvious, that they want to say higher numbers.

But also, I bought a 16" MacBook Pro M1 Max when it was announced. The M2 Max replacement was announced only 15 months later and didn't seem like a big enough improvement to justify buying. Maybe they know there are a lot of M1 owners with my mindset, and we're who they're pitching.
For you, it looks like a mutually beneficial transaction between you and the buyer. It is exactly that, in isolation. It screws your customers a little, but all within bounds of fair play. However, while you're playing this game only once, the buyer is playing the iterated variant: they make the same kind of deal with other people, who are just like you.

The problem is: what looks like a series of independent mutually-beneficial transactions, is actually a series of correlated transactions. Each such deal makes the particular market segment worse off for both customers and individual owners like you. It's a subtle thing at first, but after enough such deals, the whole thing collapses: the remaining owners, who didn't get the deal yet (or refused), find themselves unable to compete with what's now a corporate chain of previously owner-operated businesses, and they sell out too, or just close shop. Customers end up being massively screwed. Then there are the usual secondary effects to the community fabric, that happen when mom-and-pop stores get replaced by corporate franchises.

The above is the problem. Now what makes the buyers (PEs) blameworthy is that they're fully aware of how this plays out. They understand the problem described above, and they do their thing anyway, because what's a problem for you and me, means even more profit for them. The mutually beneficial transactions are a bait - the buyer seemingly leaves money on the table, but in reality, they're just ensuring they can line up enough such purchases to collapse the market segment, and mine it for all its worth.
