> I had to lean that depression and addiction are a choice

I was actually under the impression that genetics accounted for about 40-60% of a persons risk of addiction. I’m not so sure about depression but I was under the impression that genetic and neurobiological factors were also significant in the aetiology of depression.
Maybe I just need to hit my textbooks again, and read a few papers. It’s definitely not simply a matter of choice or a moral failing of the person who is experiencing these things.

I’m glad for you knowing people care helped you work through your own struggles. I wonder how they showed you that they cared?
If you've spent your whole life wondering how the fuck the bulk of people seem to make confusing or challenging decisions maybe you just evaluate 'from first principals' in more situations.
The comments here clearly illustrate why it's hopeless. Most people, when confronted, are unwilling to even believe that any of this is really happening.
This isn't as much the case anymore. There are typically arm64 images available for the more popular images, and anything you build locally is native, unless you're trying to build x86 software.

Redis, Memcached, PostgreSQL, MySQL- it's all native arm64 images now.

They expect developers to get ready?

They're thinking about this wrong. They need to make it zero work, followed by optional optimizations, like Apple did with their M1.

Remember when Google told everyone to test their Android apps on x86. And then again on MIPS? And then nothing happened. Developers will not waste their time.
M2 Pro can always drive 3. The MBP just has one display built-in, so can drive 2 more.
Sure. Then, the system becomes unbalanced - with lots of capital chasing fewer deals. Companies become overpriced generally. And, I think that can lead to an issue.
> But others have caught up

You mean others now got to use TSMC's 4nm process? These new M3 chips are probably on the 3nm process, Apple is still a generation ahead here.

It looks like Apples aim is to always stay a generation ahead of its competition, I wonder how long they can keep that up since they aren't running their own fabs.
Unfortunately this appears to be a drop-in replacement - can't click "buy" on any of the M2 MBPs if you can even get to the model page.

Exactly. An idea is being taken advantage of.

To "take advantage of" an inanimate object doesn't mean "someone" is being taken advantage of. It's just an articulation of the concept that makes them money, it's no more nefarious than saying that baby food makers take advantage of people not wanting their children to starve to death (Nestle notwithstanding).

A ship captain can "take advantage of" the tide to leave the harbor, without taking advantage of anyone.

I think the metric is blocked controllers, which is a small subset of 3rd party controllers. So far the most common people complaining about this change is cronus and xim users not legit players.

> All startups have acquisition as a goal. If not, they aren’t paying attention to statistics.

That's a problem, though. I'm under no illusion that startups are founded for purely altruistic reasons, but there used to be more focus on creating an actual business, one that makes money by delivering value to customers. Nowadays, the focus is on exit - and the main strategy is to hype up a shitty MVP to force rapid growth, and then either trick some incumbent corporation into acquiring the startup, or go public and run away with the profit before people figure out the company is just hot air.

I'm looking at this from the POV of a customer and a member of society, and as such, I see contemporary startups as wasting everyone's time and hopes, at scale. A perpetual flashy mediocrity that slows progress by starving would-be legitimate businesses for oxygen, and occasionally destroys a random market segment in the process.

Once again, the pattern is a problem. Startups are fine, acquisitions are fine, keeping an eye for an exit is fine. The issue is that the entire startup ecosystem - founders and investors alike, and increasingly even acquirers - found a way to game the system, and is busy printing money without doing anything of lasting value, while still burning resources and dumping externalities on the rest of the economy.
I didn't say anything remotely close to what you're implying. What a ridiculous statement. I used the word enslave and used it correctly in this context.

> Just like the low-spec M3 14" has one fewer Thunderbolt port, it also doesn't officially support Thunderbolt 4 (like M1/M2 before it)

I believe this is due to the TB4 spec requiring support for two external displays on a single port. The base spec M series SoCs only support one external display.

I’d expect the ports to work identically to a TB4 port in all other aspects.
In the days I ran my own main server for my domain I was surprised to find that well over 50% of spam originated from Google (both emails with @gmail.com domains but also emails from other domains being processed via their servers). And I wasn't even a Gmail customer, so it looks like they don't really filter outgoing mail to other providers. It made my inbound filtering quite tricky as I couldn't block Google as quite lot of legitimate traffic comes from friends using Gmail so the other Spamassassin rules (e.g. content analysis) had to do much of the heaving lifting. A couple of years back I gave up and outsourced the MX for my domain to Fastmail. Interestingly they also struggle to filter Gmail messages (which isn't too surprising as they also use Spamassassin) but thankfully there are only a few a week that get past and I always make sure these are flagged as spam to train the filter. Over time they end up going into my Spam folder and eventually they just don't arrive at all due to my spam settings blocking high spam scores.

This is a terrible experience for people who desire to sit on a couch with a controller. People specifically use devices that spoof their keyboard and mouse a controller so they can get in queues with controller players and retain auto aim. Some games allow native keyboard and mouse support, but then they’re queued with KB/mouse players.

Ok, that makes you a minority in the sense that I think that the potential negative fall out from your decision is limited enough that you were entirely free to make it. But the bulk of the people that sent their family data to 23andme isn't that well informed and likely has no idea about the potential for abuse of such data.

Maybe it is the 'dark side' in me or maybe it is simply seeing so many corporate abuses over a lifetime in IT that I can't see beyond the abuse to the possible good. The fact that it has Google backing is one major strike against it, as is the fact that they were going to commercialize the data itself right from the get-go whilst giving their paying customers something the amounted to expensive infotainment. It's clear that they wanted the data, not clear that there would be benefits to the participants, the data returned is just too coarse for that and akin to doing a lot of screening without symptoms, a practice that the medical profession has warned against repeatedly.

An interesting thing about the M2 Pro and M3 Pro is that they shifted away from being mostly performance cores. The M1 Pro was either 6+2 P+E or 8+2 P+E. The M2 Pro was either 6+4 or 8+4. The new M3 Pro is either 5+6 or 6+6.

Apple has been shifting away from performance cores with each generation. M1 Pro: 75-80% P-cores; M2 Pro: 60-67% P-cores; M3 Pro: 45-50% P-cores.

This shows up when you look at Geekbench results. A 10-core M2 Pro (6+4) gets 12,100 while a 10-core M1 Pro (8+2) gets 12,202. The 12-core M2 Pro (8+4) gets 14,221. That's a 16.5% increase from having 20% more cores. In some ways, this feels like an odd result. Adding two additional M2 P-cores gets Apple a comparatively small result over the 10-core M2 Pro (less than the average core performance). However, adding two efficiency cores over the M1 Pro gives them the same 16.5% boost over the 8+2 M1 Pro.

If I had to guess, maybe it's thermal throttling when running the benchmark. If the additional P-cores can't truly be P-cores under 100% load, then their impact shows up less. Likewise, if the E-cores can match P-core performance under heavy thermal load, then it could show up as being roughly equivalent in the benchmark.

I wonder if real-world scenarios end up differing from benchmarks in a meaningful way around this. For example, core-pinning can be useful for warm caches and in a real-world scenario you might have a process the OS tries to pin to P-core-1 that has spikes in utilization while another process is pinned to P-core-2 with similar spikes. So both get the performance of a P-core and warm caches while the thermal load isn't that high so the P-cores are still at their peak performance (unlike a benchmark that's trying to use all cores as much as possible at the same time).

Maybe this is a business decision more than something based around how the chip performs. The big selling point of the M1/M2 Max was graphics (maybe the extra RAM as well). You could get the same CPU in the Pro or Max. Now the M3 Pro is a 5+6 or 6+6 CPU while the M3 Max is 10+4. 67-100% more performance cores becomes a selling point for the M3 Max even for those who might not care about graphics as much.
Finding one with a decent screen for anything other than gaming is the trick. I linked it up there, but this is IPS with 100% sRGB, more brightness than most people need, 16:10 (vertical space is nice!), 165Hz, and matte! Most gaming laptops are...not that. Maybe 50% sRGB on a dim glossy TN screen.
If you don't have power over the software running on the hardware, it ain't your hardware. Force the consoles to be open and give power back to the users.
I actually think this is the opposite of the case, for some definition of “generic”: the more generic problem has fewer possible solutions (there is only one pure function of type x=>x) so, if you hit on the right general problem to solve, your code will almost always be simpler. The problem is this is one of those “$1 to solve the problem/$99 to know which problem to solve” situations.
I don't think this is even going to stop the Cronus. The Cronus already requires an OEM controller plugged into it to authenticate. If it does, a Cronus firmware update will probably figure out a way around it as it has an OEM device to work with.

For what it's worth, I own a Cronus and it's not nearly as much of an advantage as they sell it as. I bought it just to use as a fightstick adapter and it's kind of mediocre at that too.
I don't think you're going to find any M2s for half the price. They hold their value pretty solidly.
> but they're coming down the pipe.

Do you have any links? I'm curious, and not a little bit skeptical about the near-term competitiveness of RISC-V in the mobile space.
It's arguably also a price increase over the outgoing 13" M2 MBP model it replaces which was $1300.

They are most definitely doing this to combat cheaters. I tried out Cronus + KBM on my friend's Xbox S and it was comical. I had aim assist, no recoil and a keyboard and mouse. I was running 100:3 K:D on COD:MW2. If you don't think cheating is a big part of the reason you've never played console games competitively.

Indeed, under a pay-as-you-go model, if there's a lack of precise control over the warehouse, such as a 10-minute suspension, it could lead to significant waste. This is because most queries might only take a few seconds, and the rest of the time is wasted. If you find Snowflake expensive, consider Databend.

Heuristics in competitive games will always bring their own sets of issues.

As it's an arms race, controller tweaks will adjust to be at the borderline of what the system detects, and on the other hand the 0.001% of the most dedicated players that actually beat that borderline will get pushined with a mere "no human can be that good" response, which is the worse outcome when the game's whole point _is_ to be that good.

You are in their target market of who they can really squeeze since you want something a little bit special. Their memory pricing has always been absurd. Even on an older MacBook it was often +$200 for something silly like a 16GB SODIMM that costs $50 at the store.
I still think their build quality , screen quality and OS are pretty much unmatched.
Maybe 10 years ago, but I just checked Dell (for a single data point), and it looks like all their current laptops are SSD only, and for desktops, most configurations are SSD only, with only a handful of balls to wall storage configurations offering large multi-TB HDDs in addition to a SSD boot device.

Almost four years now, for M1. I get the impression that people are used to Intel’s stagnation that we were stuck with for some time.
On the power consumption vs performance ratios, every chart showed the M3 cranking at higher overall power usage than the M1 when under load.

One of my favorite things about my M1 is the battery life. I wonder how the actual battery life will compare for the different market segments.
This has the added bonus of blocking non disposable controllers that use hall effect sensors that don't suffer from stick drift.

Long battery life isn’t strictly necessary no, but it’s nice. A lot nicer than one might expect. It can make the difference between needing to bring a charger or not, plus it’s one less mental background daemon to keep running (thinking about how much life is left, where the nearest outlet is, etc).

Arguably the bigger impact of long battery life is how it’s no longer necessary to throttle the system when it’s unplugged to not burn through battery in an instant. The performance of plugged and unplugged is identical.
