The problem is three-part:

- A lack of clarity about actual problems. This list conflates too many things together that aren't existential threats and are aspirational values. The actual root-cause threats are climate change, politi-economic inequality, industrial meat & dairy agriculture, antibiotic resistance, pandemics, and war.

- Chicken-little learned helplessness attitude, excusing inaction.

- Lack of leadership resulting in Tragedy of the Commons from unwillingness to be the "adult".

Overpopulation isn't an existential threat. It's been bemoaned since the 1960's. It's bullshit.

The world is already at 30% generation of all energy from renewables and climbing rapidly.

FF extraction won't be as "necessary" and will be replaced by alternative products and processes.

Reality is the reality. Making the future better will take being honest, making difficult decisions soon, and enforcing specific policies to avoid real catastrophes, not academic ones.
At work, I'm in meetings much of the time, and I was lucky to get 4 hours of my my old MBP, if I didn't charge it over lunch, it wouldn't last the day. (there are chargers in meeting rooms, but only a few, so can't always count on getting one).

At home, I work in a few different seats (one of them is a desk with a big monitor, but for emails/reading, I prefer to sit elsewhere, including on the back deck in nice weather), all but one does have an outlet, but it sure is nice to be able to get up and move around without constantly plugging/unplugging the laptop. Magsafe does make that easier though, only takes a second to plug in and no big deal if you stand up without unplugging, it doesn't pull the laptop out of your hands or the charger out of the wall.
In theory, Node is faster than Python due to this, among other things.

In practice, I have seen Node apps blocking or crashing far more often than Python apps, which drags the performance down just a bit.

In the meantime, @njit decorator on Python functions, and boom, done.
The GPU can saturate it for sure.

Llama.cpp is a pretty extreme cpu ram bus saturator, but I dunno how close it is (and its kind of irrelevant because why wouldn't you use a Metal backend).
Can they drive two monitors this time?
Check out asahilinux.org - I have archlinux arm running as my main OS on Air M1 for a year now.
Been quite a few years ago, but Dell support came to a tiny campground 100 miles from anywhere and swapped out my laptop motherboard within 24 hours of it failing. Sadly, their support is no longer as extraordinary.
That's good to hear they found and removed them before it can become a bigger problem. Does that mean you have to do a visit every 2-3 years now?
1-800-CONTACTS.

Their phone number (I.e. their company name) goes straight to customer service. Like, you call it, it rings, customer service picks up. I thought it was a scam at first.

If that's not fast enough for you, you can text them too.

Returns are super generous. You can swap out entire boxes no problem. They'll also re-send contacts if you're traveling and they don't get to you in time.

I absolutely love this company. It's like they lost the memo to enshittify themselves by offshoring their second-tier CS and replacing their first-line CS with a chat bot.

Runner-Ups:

- Apple: So many ways to reach them and they try their best to make it right. It's a little harder to reach them now than before, most of their support is offshored (used to be state-side), and they are more by the book

- T-Mobile: TMo Experts were awesome. You could reach one at any time, stateside, and they could do just about anything to get you back up and running. Sadly almost all of them are offshored now thanks to aggressive cost-cutting post COVID.

- Marriott's Ambassador Concierge: You used to get a direct line to a concierge that was _your_ concierge. (Well, you and 30 others, but stil.) They used to help you with anything and everything. Extremely useful if you're in a bind and need help now; a very likely situation given that you have to stay 100 nights/year to reach this tier. COVID tore that up. They're now just a faster way to reach CS.

And in honorarium:

Simple Bank. When they started, they were AMAZING. You could call or chat with a real person in the US whenever you hit a snag. They were super responsive and very helpful. Their app and website were also like nothing the big banks offered (though, ironically, I miss m.chase.com, as that was stupid simple and INSANELY FAST). Unfortunately, they could never get past data issues, which caused lots of duplicate/incorrect transactions and limitations that were basically warmups for the stodgier mainframes they were attempting to replace (like super low eCheck limits routed through ACH regardless of whether the recipient supported faster transfer methods). This caused their customer service to become CRAZY slow. What was once a two minute wait became 35, and chat messages would get responses days later instead of minutes. They merged into BBVA and then disappeared.
I don't know security law at all but I have always seen CISO equivalent positions to be "Director" level, reporting typically to the CFO or to A C-level of some org who reports to another C-level and so on depending on size and complexity. But you are right in that they're just regular mid level managers, not directly accountable to the board.
Copyright is literally the mechanism that allows creators to obtain a legal remedy for such actions. I have a lot of problems with the state of copyright, but am OK with the basic concept.

GP is arguing against any sort of IP rights, so these questions are reasonable. Lying isn't illegal, if there are no IP rights in a created work then anyone can legally claim authorship.
I bought a top spec Intel mac a month before the M1 came out. Just sold that computer for 1/3 it's original price :\

For how predominant the 27" iMacs seemed to be around me, I wonder if they've fallen by the wayside in Apple's product-share, and are replaced by Minis/Studios with a Studio Display?
Can we just build our localized monolith systems in a modular way so they can easily be decomposed into decentralized microservices at any sensible division when the need arises..? Must we always have this debate against an idea that is stupid on its face - sending remote requests for every single service..?
> Seems like we are hitting that number pretty quick?

I don't think we're even close. Libgen's nonfiction archive alone is over 32 terabytes. Total size last year was over 120 terabytes. Between that, SciHub, and the internet, there's probably orders of magnitude more tokens out there.
An analogy captures some of it, but probably not everything, unless you believe the universe is already determined for all time.
The “right to be forgotten” is an explicit right in the EU, which I think applies here.
Amazon's CS went to hell throughout the years. they are super hard to reach now by comparison
Well, if you consider the entire package rather than CPU alone, I can see it. Still a misleading claim, but if stretch the definitions of “advanced” and “chip” you can do it.
Meteor isn't real. It is literally just a metaphor and more fun than "we lost power" or "egress died". Anybody claiming it is impossible is silly.

You also won't lose a DC a year so you need some strict uptime guarantees to justify automatic roll over.

Prepare to avoid dataloss but needing SRE to change over is fine if you can stomach a hour of downtime.
I thought litigation or the threat of litigation resulted in the 6502 not being pin compatible with the 6800. How did the Apple 1 get around that?
Making arbitrary peripherals not work is the opposite of "a seamless plug and play experience".

When we duck away from low flying birds, it’s probably because they used to hunt us a million years ago.
Of the languages I’ve used, Go comes closest. The language is small and boring, but it means I stay focused on the problem and hand instead of getting fancy.
It won’t excel at this. It is a mobile GPU and won’t be able to put up remotely similar numbers to a desktop GPU with massive amounts of power and cooling.
That's a matter for law enforcement, not your employer.
Ha, I knew it was gonna be the workflow one!
You're probably just unhappy with what you do and don't realize it. I am on my journey out of exactly what you're describing, and it came down to me realizing that I'd rather make less and solve real problems, instead of being an overpaid Copilot operator.
I reject your whole premise here, as many thefts can occur without force, and many legal remedies are imposed without force. You're just ducking the question; it seems you're saying that 'no, you don't have any rights that you can enforce in court.' You'd probably object to extralegal enforcement on the basis that it violates the NAP or some other glibertarian trope.
They did give the MacBook Pros better screens and a better 1080p camera. It’s also way better at gaming with the improved performance. What ports do you want them to add?
If you're interested in that topic, reading through the discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38072218 is a good place to start.
Like we haven't had rights and freedom taken away consistently over the past two decades in the name of safety, whatever that is. What you mention will be irrelevant after some new law that says open source AI code should be regulated too and everyone is forced to comply.

People don't only use their laptops for work. People also don't all sit at a single desk throughout the day.

Not to mention that you can cut most laptops' rated battery lives in half or even worse if you're doing anything moderately demanding, and that those demanding workloads often cause them to throttle pretty badly when on battery power, so it's not a simple question of "X hour battery life".

A high-spec laptop that's actually autonomous for daily use (from weight to screen quality to battery life) and does not turn into a radiator or a turbine when it's being put through its paces should be a reasonable enough value proposition for anyone to understand even if they personally don't want it; I don't understand why people are always so eager to snidely bring up devices that don't meet those criteria whenever Macbooks are mentioned.
I don’t play online games. Are you telling me what I can and cannot do in a single player game?
I dont think those genetics numbers are right, but it is really besides the point. Im not moralizing or even talking about how you get there. Im talking about what you can do about it once you are there.

No addict has ever gotten clean without choosing to try. Staying clean requires choosing to do so each day. If you dont make a concerted effort, it doesnt magically happen by itself. A friend, family, or therapist can cant do it for you. They might help you, but you have to actively take control of your life.

Same for depression. you cant get better without trying, and you wont get better if you dont try. It really is that simple.

In either case, if you believed you have no choice in the matter, you are 100% doomed. I would never tell an addict that they have no choice, no control, and they are predetermined to fail everything they try.

It doesnt matter how stacked the chances are against people. The only 100% predictor of outcome is the actions you take moving forward. People who stay clean chose that every day. Those who dont, are not. Same for depression.

Ask HN: Examples of clean design in personal blogs / digital portfolios?
I saw someone post their personal blog many months ago, and even though I didn’t save it, the thing that stood out to me was the website’s usage of type formatting and it’s own internal baked in reader-view, and it just felt so good to browse the site because of how clean, yet modern it felt. Since then I try to visit as many personal sites that get posted on here for visual and structural inspiration so I’d love to see some more examples. Please note, clean design doesn’t always have to equal minimal.

What are some of your favourite examples of when design is implemented well on personal sites?

Decode everywhere is still great.

Encode for h264 and HEVC was slow too. It basically never even happened for VP9 outside of phones, AFAIK.
Likely because you need to hire a structural engineer to sign off on the project.

Building codes allow us to do this sort of thing without direct engineering input and most municipalities have not adopted a code that define safe practices for this sort of construction. Additionally, materials selection and availability is geared towards stick frame construction and you may not have everything you need from big box hardware stores or local supply houses.
True, but that doesn't mean it's enjoyable. In extreme cases it could lead to someone getting fired or falsely reported to the police though luckily that's pretty rare.
Which is likely fine. As a codec it's weighted towards distribution, not live encoding.

They do, you have to pay more for an M3 Pro or M3 Max.

The Yale Book of Quotations (An App)
Because the productivity gains from upgrading can be quite large relative to the cost of upgrading, esp when you factor in the average salary in this community.

I spend 8-10 hours on my Macbook every day. The amount of time I've saved / productivity I've gained by things just running faster and by being more mobile (much longer battery life) is huge compared to the $2000 price tag.

Frugality is good but there are some things in life (depending on your personal circumstances) where it does in fact make sense to upgrade for clear benefits.
That’s interesting. It’s in 0.0.1 version though but it seems like a possible drop in replacement
I'm not on the road, I just tend to move around even when at home/in the office. Lower power consumption also means the laptop is silent and barely warm, and a tiny 30W charger is perfectly sufficient. Unrelated, but another thing about the Macbook Pro is how unexpectedly good its mics, speakers, and camera are. I used to have quite an AV setup but I can't complain about the built-ins nowadays.
Because capitalism, that’s why. Capitalists have convinced people it is a moral imperative to continue to spend constantly.
Reminds me of one time when we had a power outage in the central train station, there was a long queue of people lined up at the (stationary) escalator while the stairs next to it were empty. I just shrugged and went up the stairs, but I do wonder what all those people were thinking.
Elecraft, you can reach an expert there without jumping through hoops.
Is this still ARMv8?

I think ARMv9 SKUs from others are just around the corner, and that's going to be a pain point for Apple.
> Ok, somebody else explain why neurotypical people are content to obey arbitrary authority when they don't have to.

Are you able to explain why some neurodivergent people are content to obey arbitrary authority when they don't have to?

I feel like it's almost a little gatekeeping there. If they are content, are they "sufficiently" neurodivergent?
> He's just listing preferences

to be clear, there are multiple examples here of varying politeness.
They're highly comorbid with a lot of common traits.
That is all true but most languages have semi-sane libraries with semi-sane defaults that handle most of that. Sure you need some config and tuning but it's not completely uncharted waters
I use the predecessor, the 8BitDo Zero 2 to study my Anki Decks. A recommendation I found on TikTok by medical students. The Device can pair as different devices, which makes it flexible. For instance, it can enter a Keyboard mode, where the Gamepad doesn't send Gamepad API buttons, but presents itself as a keyboard with buttons being mapped to keys like k, l, h, j, etc.

This make hacking together a solution for niche use-cases a breeze.
What you call a "superiority complex" is the exact attitude neurodivergent people face constantly
I share your frustration, but there is no evidence that you read the comment you're replying to.

That comment explains that there's a scenario where people can be accidentally unsubscribed in the presence of mail forwarding, and the requirement to enter an email address can patch over this.
Doesn't look like it. Memory ICs are tested before packaging, and then are packaged in stacks. While I'm sure there's some loss in packaging, probably not enough to justify this level of binning; and most of the failures that would happen at this stage would potentially interfere with signal integrity for the whole stack.

Instead, it looks like after the 8-high stacks that I knew about, manufacturers went to 12-high stacks. There are 16-high stacks available too, but looks like there's a lot more backside thinning needed to keep the same Z height so cost goes up disproportionately and 12-highs are a reasonably sweet spot for capacity per dollar.
Oh lordy this so much this. As a holder of a beloved 5 character gmail address that is a common first and last name let me tell you that the misdirected email I receive is insane and countless. Services with an reputable unsubscribe get unsubbed and then I moved on. Services with no way to unsubscribe get marked spam each and every single time. Services that do that are effectively dead to me because if they ever do send a legit email gmail will automatically flag and remove them for me and I can't help but believe (with some insider knowledge) that this also impacts deliverability to other gmail accounts.

What are the indirect effects? You realize the least troubling part of making Android run on some proprietary hardware was the ARM processor? That part is perfectly fine!

It's the graphics card, the display hardware, the camera, the video encoding/decoding - these are all proprietary, undocumented blobs of IP with no upstream support. Your RISCV Android phone is still going to have all of those, it makes exactly zero difference.
I don't use Windows. The Raspberry Pi has great Linux support, and the Linux Geekbench scores were even higher than in Windows. Unfortunately, I couldn't find Linux Geekbench scores in the 23W configuration.
Just wait for M3 Ultra which in past generations is literally just 2 Maxs. Imagine 256 of GB unified RAM (oh and I guess the 32-core CPU and 80-core GPU, though those aren't as impressive).
Really would love to know how much that is going to cost
IBM and a lot of systems that had been 68K. Though the architectures were different a lot of 68K assumptions were maintained in the PPC so porting was easier.
The US also has this.
People didn't put their private medical records on the open internet. They may have uploaded them to a service they thought was respecting privacy but was either selling their data without disclosure or was just straight up incompetent and uploaded private-user-data.zip to a public Dropbox share.
> Note that memory bandwidth is down. M2 Pro had 200GB/s, M3 Pro only has 150GB/s. M3 Max only has 400GB/s on the higher binned part.

Is this because they are not populating all the memory channels, or just using lesser memory ICs?

If its the former... thats annoying. It just makes their products worse for artificial segmentation and very little cost savings.
How many stars did he give you?
The 14" and 16" Macbook Pros have always been able to drive 2+ displays. The new ones updated today continue this feature. Hope this helps.
I love the advice it’s given me. 10/10 I agree with it

> If you believe that your chat bot has no benefit to anyone and may potentially cause harm or confusion, it would be advisable to discontinue its operation. Continuing to run a chat bot that is misleading and potentially harmful goes against ethical guidelines and could have negative consequences for those who interact with it.
Linux with compositors (sometimes custom ones) for graphical applications. Weston is fairly popular, for example.

Or even nothing at all, you can run Qt6 standalone and have a very nice touch interface.
If the code work/it's tested, review is for sanity checking/looking for obvious bugs.

Anything else is un-needed grooming that's more about the other developer's ego, not about good code (sometimes its to follow some other constraint, but its a good sign the person has a personality issue).

Urban parking lots are ephemeral. They are a way to pay taxes and make a little income before a large commercial business is built there. Perhaps the costs of constructing a solar park and the costs of removing it don't seem practical in the face of an uncertain future.
Apple wants you to purchase the Studio Display if you want a 27” form factor.
Cost. The price increase is 50% to a 100% more then conventional. [0]

Some countries, like France, have passed legislation to make sure large parking lots have at least 50% of their lot covered in solar canopies. [1]

Other studies are trying to convince stores and owners of such places, that the investment is worth it and can possibly even take them of the grid.

Funny website. You have to be a complete moron, or a regular user here, to take it serious.
I prefer that tbh. If I'm frequently saturating 16GB of memory in the previous gen and it is time for an upgrade, I probably don't need literally double the memory, but 24GB would be nice.
1/3 is pretty good for a used computer, TBH.

I usually get like 20% or less... sometimes they're hard to even give away.
I just wonder if sociality and ease of establishing and maintaining rapport is contraindicative of ASPD/autism stuff or whether it really is not only just a spectrum in the sense of a spectrum of impairment but also on a continuum from ASPD/autism <--> "Normal" where impairment can still exist as a sort of sub-spectrum without wholly subjugating me to that subclassification where i could otherwise ddmobstrate skills and traits to the contrary

Insofar as a a spectrum of impairment is referring to a spectrum of diificulty in socializing and a deficiency of adeptness at neurotypical theory of mind
No, it's the generative AI companies that are taking from society all the data and locking it up in their opaque models and selling that as if they created it wholly.
Yeah.

$2K-3K is what my 3090/7800x3D sff desktop cost (depending on whether you include the price of the TV/peripherals I already own).
