Perhaps the most interesting thing is the UK pricing. I paid £1899 for my M1 Pro. The M2 Pro was £2149. The M3 Pro is £1899 again for same spec.

The insults however come now. There is now a £1699 8Gb option. Seriously in 2023? 8Gb?!?! And you can get an i7 Lenovo T14 gen 4 with 32Gb of RAM and 1TB disk for £1297. Every 8Gb RAM increment with Apple is a complete rip off.

And the total build price for my silent i5-13500, 32Gb, 1TB desktop with an RTX 4070 and 27" 4k Dell monitor was £50 less than the base level 8Gb MacBook Pro.

No thanks. I'm out.
This doesn't stop you using custom controllers.

It just means you have to pay Microsoft for the ports (which is available to anyone) rather than a 3rd party.
"Class", by Paul Fussell, is a fun read. It's from 1981 and reads like a period piece today, but it's still a good read.

Somehow, "Black Lives Matter" morphed into "Defund the Police", which turned into a joke. It derailed any serious effort to fix the real problem of cops shooting too many black people. Not quite sure how that happened.

The hard work thing seems to be the reverse of the criticism usually leveled in that direction. The more common criticism is that rich people claimed their riches came from hard work, while most of the time they actually got a big boost from their parents.

This makes me pretty nervous. I am having a go at being a "digital nomad" and use Wise as my primary "bank". I only have one customer, paying EU into a EU IBAN and then I am just using Apple Pay to pay for my daily needs. I have about 10k EUR in the account...I want to move it, but I also don't want to pay the conversion fees into my home currency, and then back again (I am mainly based in Europe and spending Euros).
I personally like the saying „when in rome, do as the romans do“. While you CAN retrofit almost anything to a lang, it tends to be a constant fighting against the current which is rarely worth it.

A good example is when working with Qt, trying to avoid QString and QObject as much as possible is a fools errand, its slower and ultimately ends up with ugly code.
How does it demonstrate that?
Printers, game consoles, supercomputers.

It's music too.

The largest concerts in history according to Wikipedia belong to Vasco Rossi, Bijelo Dugme, and Glay.

Ever heard of them?

I suspect we're simply unaware of the marketing bias we're all walking around with.
> men want to be in a relationship more than women

Is this a commonly held opinion? I’d be curious to read any material on this, because nothing (to me at least) suggests one gender wants it more than the other. Is it simply because there are more men than women on the popular dating apps?
Nice!

Doing everything possible to prolong life has consequences beyond the life of the individual: it's a significant cost to the economy and to family members. There's the cost of the medical treatment itself, but people living longer now also have to finance their life with their savings or even keep working instead of retiring, so their kids get a smaller inheritance, and have to compete with their parents in the labour market.
I really don't get the hostility towards defensive Israel military tech, even from a pro-Palestinian perpsective. You realize if this system works well, all narrative backing behind Israeli airstrikes in retaliation would disappear? Tech like this indirectly protects Gazan civilians by stopping or at least reducing retaliatory airstrikes, in addition to protecting Israeli civilians. Then not only do you directly protect civilian lives on both sides, you reduce the radicalization of the Gazan young people since they no longer have to grow up psychologically scarred by airstrikes. We should all want such systems to work flawlessly.
Damn, that's horrible... This warrants a deeper investigation!

Anyway, the iMacs I have seen at the Apple Store has decently sized text.
Apple routinely sandbags their performance in marketing slides. The actual performance is usually 1-2% better actually. Probably because they're the most visible company in the world and don't want to get sued.

AMD/Intel meanwhile will cherry pick benchmarks and way overpromise.
>My DNA isn't some terrible secret I have to hide in the dark.

Considering we leave our DNA basically everywhere we spend more than a few moments, it seems like a rather impossible task to keep it secret anyway.

Hi Jacob,

Apologies, for some reason my memory failed me and I didn't make the connection between your Medium post and the Substack update!

Of course on the recommendations, delighted to. Added just now. Best of luck.
1. Re: insurance buying the data to be used against you. This seems like a problem that could be solved by other regulatory venues w.r.t. pre-existing conditions in insurance.

2. This is a dramatic overreach of intellectual property. I put in no effort to create my genes and certainly should not be able to withhold certain beneficial amino acid sequences from being used by others simply because I exist. Not to mention the fact that the same gene is probably present in millions of people. Clearly I am not going to do the work to monetize some gene and help save people, so the people who do the actual work should be able to profit from it (unless you think it's better if people who could benefit from it just die). Fair compensation is zero; any finder's fee awarded in such an unlikely technical scenario would be gratuitous.

3. Governments already have this as soon as 23-and-me exists. Whether or not the data was for sale is irrelevant to Uncle Sam.

I don't know how you managed to read the comment you responded to as suggesting that.
It objectively is a problem for Apple as a corporation though, as they are expected by their shareholders to to continue to grow and increase profits year over year.
Yeah I remember New years eve when the neighboring streets launched rockets that maimed and killed my friends and family.
I don't own a dog. And as I've said elsewhere, this really isnt about dogs.

It's about whether the appropriate response to rare events of danger, imagined in abstract circumstances, should be met with 'fantasy compassion' where people go around policing each other.

An unleashed dog in a park is safe as people in the park, indeed, much more so. More people are attacked by other people in parks than by dogs.

If we're going to police society to this level, it'll be a nightmare.

If there's a dangerous person in the park: call the police. Likewise if there's a dangerous dog.

I find it a certain moral sickness to go around in a fantasy that people are all dangerous, or likewise dogs are, or anything else. This is just some internal emotional licence to appoint yourself a police officer.

In the comment i replied to above: why was that woman afraid? Because of a dog? No. She reacted to another person. Another person hurt her.

People are dangerous. I guess we should have a sign 'no people in the park' -- then we can really enjoy it

Intel straggler here ! When M1 hit I was certain I would get a M Apple in a year or two when they iron out the transition. It was just leaps and bounds ahead of others and the pricing was great.

Now I think AMD and Intel caught up enough, Apple didn't keep the momentum, and they do standard Apple pricing discrimination - I think I'll take a gamble on Framework AMD version. I really like the idea behind the self-repairable upgradeable device and want to support them. If I was able to work on my Apple Intel i9 overheating PoS for past few years I'll be better off with anything, might as well support the stuff I like.

+1 for linguee.fr which I used extensively while I was doing my DELF B2. Unimaginably useful way to learn how words are actually used, not just grammatically but in what kinds of sentences, what's the connotative value of the word, what kind of mood does it imply. I imagine Youglish is useful for this too.

Sorry, couldn't help myself, unlike yourself.

Just recall we're in a thread about precise definitions of reference units, the title posed refers to tens of trillions of oscillations as the definition of a second.

When the kilometer was first coarsely defined by an Earth arc it was already a thousand+ years post shadow of a stick guy.

Once that kind of definition gets refined further the "arc of the earth" approach hits all of the hurdles I outlined .. for the benefit of the person I replied to who somehow believed it was a simple straightforward task to make it "better".

Hand waving a reference is all very well ... until you hit cases that require actual precision finer than the error bars on the hand wavy seat of the pants cowboy antics.

That bar was crossed some decades past.

> I hope they make it really strict.

I hope they not. Gmail spam filter is far from being perfect and classifies many non spam messages/senders as spam. May be because they heavily rely on user reports (to train AI?) and email users tend to report all kind of emails as spam including clearly ham messages like bank statements, appointment notifications, password reset emails e.t.c.

Hopefully they won’t, but it’s not looking good.

The annoying part is that if they do decide it’s infringement, then open source AI models won’t be allowed to know anything about copyrighted works. It’ll be a big blind spot.
You're saying people shouldn't be able to buy 8GB RAM Macs, which is crazy. I had to check how much memory my laptop has, and it's 8GB and I've never noticed.

I guess you're just complaining about what you get for the lowest price.
I think this use case is probably not the majority.
I'm not even sure what passes for "autism" these days. Back in the late 90s I helped out at a tiny charity that helped out family's of severely disabled kids. They would be utterly dependent on their parents for everything and needed constant supervision. Almost all were non-verbal. Due to the fact that many of them had genetic conditions, they had a bunch of health problems and also looked different to other kids their age. But I remember one kid, he was about 7, looked "normal" and had no other medical issues, but needed constant supervision and was non-verbal. I asked what was wrong with him. "He's autistic". My understanding of autism is a mix of that kid and Kim Peak (the real person behind the Rain Man movie).

Fast forward to this century. I've had full conversations with successful people, who announce that they're autistic.

Which austism is this article talking about and how exactly is it diagnosed?
Huh I didn't know about that. But it seems like those old tabloid shenanigans at least took some effort for the press :p

I think this is a brilliant idea and is no doubt useful for discovering variations in pronunciation as well. The first thing I tested it with was "mischievous" which notoriously has a correct - "MIS-chu-vus" - as well as an "incorrect" but very common pronunciation - "mis-CHEE-vee-us" - both of which are represented.
>It's kind of an issue for ARM too but they're a bit further towards solving it than RISC-V.

Can you elaborate on why you think so?

I understand it is the opposite: RISC-V is much further towards solving it.

This is because RISC-V has put effort from the start into standardizing boot process (spl -> sbi -> uboot|uefi), ISA (profiles), the firmware-kernel interface (sbi, uefi protocol, acpi) as well as the platform itself (platform spec, standards for interrupts, timers, hypervisor support, the uart requirement, the watchdog and further platform standardization efforts).

This has happened (and is happening still) before significant deployment of SoCs using RISC-V microarchitectures as the application processor.

Meanwhile, ARM realized, quite late, that this is important, and is lagging behind, with plenty of non-fixable, bespoke platform hardware deployed, and low vendor uptake as they are asking their clients to change what they already have in place.

I’m sure I remember Apple using Myst to sell Performa Macs in 1995. Some things never change.
Huh. So they used to do this, but looking at the M series chips it seems like the architecture assumes the CPU-GPU-RAM are all on the same chip and hooked into each other, which enables zero copy. Someone more well versed in hardware could explain if this is even possible.

Expandable internal storage would be nice, yeah. But I get the sealed, very tightly packed chassis they’re going for.

H. R. McMaster credits Putin's people with that concept. Until recently, propaganda was promoting your position. Russia came up with the breakthrough of just promoting extremists of all stripes to reduce the credibility of all news. This is a form of tactical misdirection. "To sow confusion and reap inaction", as Willie Sutton, the bank robber and prison escapee, put it.

It wasn't really feasible at scale before the Internet, because it takes a large number of anonymous sources to make it go.
> Free will is equivalent to randomness with many (asymptotically infinite) degrees of freedom.

I don't think this is obviously true. I can make a random number generating device with as many degrees of freedom as you like by producing a bunch of vertically polarised photons and measuring their horizontal polarisation. I don't think anyone would describe this system as having "free will".

Conversely humans with "free will" don't usually behave very randomly. They often have reasoning (good or bad) and are able to explain why they took whatever actions they took.

Free will seems to be qualitatively different to randomness.

GNU/Linux applications are typically quite portable across CPUs. Is Android really that different? I would expect that once you have ported it an NDK application to at least two architectures, the third one should be really easy. And with Android, you already get two easily testable architecture (the ubiquitous aarch64, and x86-64 under virtualization).

(It's not that many Debian or Fedora community contributors have a mainframe in their basement—yet the software they package tends to build and run on s390x just fine. Okay, maybe there are some endianess issues, but you wouldn't hit those with RISC-V.)
I share my domain with my parents, so I use my_name@XXX.my_domain.tld instead, whereas XXX is replaced by the service I sub to. That gets routed to my inbox and I have some server rules that sort them in sub-dirs.

I would venture a guess that the Airbus joystick's side-to-side movement controls yaw and roll to produce coordinated turns like in a plane, but that the forward-back movement controls speed - and thus hovers if returned to the center. If you are flying in busy airspace, I should imagine you will usually have a specific altitude to hold that might as well be set with a dial, with any changes in altitude being done by the autopilot. I couldn't see a use for precise manual altitude control for most civilian helicopter use. What do you think considering your experience flying these?
