As someone who has only heard about web scraping but has had no idea about how it works this has been a really interesting read!
Very easy to understand. Thanks!
I'd always assumed that we would have at least two kids. The first few months were completely overwhelming, but as it got better it just felt like the right thing to go for.

Six months was the threshold for me with each child where I felt like we finally were stable again and it was worth even thinking about the future.
Meh I'm a 40 year old man with the reflexes of a 60 year old man. I didn't buy it to cheat at online games, I don't play them.

I bought it so I could use my PS3 fightsticks in Soul Calibur 6. The Brook adapter works(worked, past tense soon?) way better and is way more cost effective.

The Cronus might make you a little better at a game if you're already really good. If you're bad at the game like me, you're still going to be bad at it.
As a society, the goal should be to make it so you don't need to pay some private company for insulin. Your condition would ideally be totally cured.

Instead, the current state of affairs (where they make a bunch of money off you) is a sort of local maximum and there is very little incentive to research a genuine cure unless such a thing would be more profitable than present day.
Presumably most people using two external monitors close the laptop lid?
I wonder what popular Twitch streamers are going to do once their Cronus Zen is detected.
They're not really directly comparable due to the architectural differences, right? For pure rendering workflows I'm sure the 4090 is faster, but for anything that hits the CPU ...
What I need is an app that would rate my pronunciation against some standard, give me pointers for improvement, and then rate my improvements, and so on.
This seems to be a very bad idea on multiple levels. It also seems unwise to represent one's work as therapy when that often comes with various government regulations, regardless of the weasel language employed during the introduction.

Edit to add: This is a good example of why government regulation of AI is needed. People hosting these types of sites can cause actual harm to their users, or people their users interact with.
Committing to a decision is costly, but implementing it one way or the other and seeing how that works is often the cheapest way to proceed.
And more importantly, these improvements are mostly thanks to TSMC's progress. You could predict the M3 already late 2022 when TSMC announced that they were starting mass production of their 3nm process. We knew that it would be a huge improvement based on the specs we had back then and roughly how long it takes to ramp up.

What's even worse are the upgrade prices: $200 to go to 16GB and $400 to go to 24GB. Anything more than that requires upgrading to the M3 Pro model, which has a base price of $1999 and a base 18GB of RAM. Upgrading to 36GB costs an additional $400.

I waited for today's announcement because I'm in the market for a laptop with 32GB of RAM. Today's announcement looked really tempting! However, $2399 + AppleCare + sales tax for the 36GB M3 Pro MacBook Pro is too much for me, and so it looks like it's either a refurbished M2, a Framework laptop, or a ThinkPad for me.
If it's in the trailer it's fair game. Besides an actual spoilery description for From Dusk til Dawn would be all the non-vampire parts. The "twist" is that a movie billed as Robert Rodriguez vampire schlock actually has an entire other movie contained in it. That's a bit of a spoiler I suppose, my bad.
A bump stock is barely a weapon modification. There are videos of people using nothing but a wooden dowel to bump fire.
it's new to me too, I don't even know cuttlefish, it has been a while
Could you not resolve these questions with benchmarking?
I'd probably struggle to name three living painters (the claim in the title wasn't about "artists" but "painters"). It feels like a moribund artform, there's no such thing as a mainstream painter any more. If there's fame to be had in it, it's mostly due to the art being attached to something else (comics, games, or in this particular case TikTok videos) rather than as standalone pieces of art.

It's actually kind of interesting. There's tons of living actors, authors, directors, and musicians that are household names on a global scale. But architects, painters, poets or sculptors? Everyone I can think of is dead.
The new 8-ks are already a response to this...
Explain that to the tornado cash guys
What does that have to do with anything lol
This line is a little scary:

> Ensure fairness throughout the criminal justice system by developing best practices on the use of AI in sentencing, parole and probation, pretrial release and detention, risk assessments, surveillance, crime forecasting and predictive policing, and forensic analysis.
Any reason for not upgrading?
A lot of people locked down game platforms because they just want to have a seamless plug and play experience to play games without drivers, compatibility issues, or cheating. From the couch. On a 60” living room tv.

I certainly do, and so my gaming buddies. Every like 5-7 years or so we need to buy a new $400-$500 console. Seems like a good deal to me. We started back in the day on Xbox 360, now are on Xbox One, and sometime soon will migrate to Series X.
Literary context? I thought of: https://www.tnellen.com/cybereng/harrison.html
Maybe the tank signal jammer is what causes the loss of visual contact before detonation that the article describes.
Just 25 more karma and I can finally stop posting.
Part of being confused by normal practices is that a lot of practices feel abnormal by default so we don't emphasize those expected actions the same way other people to. When most things feel foreign even obvious stuff takes on that vibe. Why wouldn't I help the bystander? Not because I'm better but because it's just as likely a choice as not. Very little bias there.
I think you're misreading the comment you're replying to. Both "more cores is always better" and "more MHz is always better" are myths.
I’m don’t like that this is being pursued by the SEC. Especially since the likely penalty will be a large chuck of money that gets paid to… the SEC. Too much like extortion.

But as Matt Levine often reminds us - everything is securities fraud. If a bad thing happens and you did not warn investors about it beforehand, you can be sued for securities fraud by the SEC.

It’s almost like it’s illegal for investors to lose money, and the SEC enforces that requirement.

Investing is risky, bad things can happen, including execs that make mistakes (not talking about actual deception and fraud here) and investors should not be surprised when they sometimes lose money, or seek the strong arm of the government for relief.
That was more or less my idea. Having a base to fall back on in Northwestern Europe close to family, and a place we actually live either in Southern Europe or (income allowing) Asia or South America.

Which multiple locations did you choose?
They DID say it, right at the beginning. All the M3 chips are 3nm.
I use laptop at my desk at home or my desk at the office where the power cable is within reach so it's always plugged in.

What use would be 20h of battery life for me?

I don't do the whole coding in the coffee shop or on the beach lifestyle, and even if I did, 8h of battery life is plenty for that since I can't spend 20h in the coffee shop.

There's probably a bunch of workers who are always on the road like contractors for whom this is a benefit.
That's very well said. Thank you. I agree so much.

But some of the hardest conversations any
leader will have, especially when the default
_is_ to keep discussing until everything is
mutually transparent and understood, are
going to be on this theme.

Yeah. And ultimately, it's just a maturity and practicality issue, quite honestly. It is not practical for 100% of team members to be in 100% agreement 100% of the time. And even the most egalitarian manager can't necessarily explain 100% of the reasoning behind 100% of decisions to 100% of the team members 100% of the time. And hopefully each individual team member will realize they are not correct 100% of the time either. Even if those are the ideals to which we aspire.

There are times when we should dig in and defend our decisions to the death (hopefully, figuratively speaking!) but these battles should be chosen and fought carefully and not reflexively.

I think most people generally understand this, most of the time. Spectrum or otherwise.

Which is why I find the linked article so misguided and even insulting. The notion that those on the spectrum are hardwired to be incompatible with authority and everybody else just needs to accept this is just so wrong.
That makes less sense because the MHz marketing came before the core count marketing.

I agree with GP that we should rely on real measures like "is it faster", but maybe the goal of exchanging performance cores for efficiency was to decrease power consumption, not be faster?
Who knows but my guess is that the x86 requirement is probably for a minority of users.

Lots of people are probably sticking to Intel Macs simply because the averege user doesn't care about performance and will keep using a computer until it dies.
The 2x USB/Thunderbolt ports are on the same side. :(
Flashbacks to highschool, and my underage...
I've considered getting a serious adult test for something spectrumy. On the casual tests I score high on Systematizing but I fail to score low on the Empathaizing, but again, those are the casual tests.

This is another point for me getting some kind of assessment, because I have a very strong anti-bystander effect that seems almost not in my control.

Introducing the Revolutionary "Ten Service Applications" – because Ten is the Magic Number!

Tired of the endless debates about how many services your applications should have? Frustrated with the constant struggle to find the "Goldilocks" number of services? Look no further! The future of software design is here, and it's as easy as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10!

The "Ten Service Applications" model is here to rescue you from your software design woes. We're not messing around with random numbers like 7 or 12 services. No, we've cracked the code, and it's all about that perfect "ten." You don't need any more services, and you definitely don't need any less. Ten is the answer to all your architectural problems!

So, are you ready to embrace the simplicity, predictability, and coolness of the "Ten Service Applications" model? Join the revolution today and experience software development like never before!

Act now, and we'll even throw in a bonus "Top 10 Services" list to inspire your next project. But remember, you only get 10 services, no more, no less—because why mess with perfection?

TFA asserted cause was a specific pathogen that benefited from a temperature rise, and correlated with a similar incident wiping out 200k antelopes in 2015.

You said you thought we should 'look into fertilisers' as the root cause.

Ah yes, drivel. What i come to HN for.
It looks like mass copyright infringement, frankly.
Name the more advanced chip then... Intel and AMD fall short.
On the other hand, it is better to know what the future may hold earlier than others do.

I often have an issue with authority because it tends to be applied at the macro level and I differ from the average so the rules often manifest as oppressive.
The definitions of quaternions and dual quaternions look particularly neat. Are there other (non-"geometric algebra") ways to define (dual) quaternions without reference to a basis?

Edit: I guess the "scalar and vector parts" definition at Wikipedia[1] doesn't use a basis, but it's not exactly pretty...

The point was that there is rarely a reason to not run ARM images, since they’re widely available.

If I’m running M3 images on my Ryzen, performance is gonna be horrible, but why would I?
> People can write perfect, simple, DRY code if they have the time to and are incentivized to.

In my experience, people trying to make code DRY also wind up writing over-complicated patterns and abstractions to make it so.

I think a large amount of over-engineering is likely due to people applying patterns where they don't need to, or building unnecessary abstractions, or otherwise doing what they think is "good code".
There are no machines than are indistinguishable from humans. That is science fiction.
A frustrating thing is that the process node name has decoupled from the feature size:

> Later each new generation process became known as a technology node or process node, designated by the process' minimum feature size in nanometers (or historically micrometers) of the process's transistor gate length, such as the "90 nm process". However, this has not been the case since 1994, and the number of nanometers used to name process nodes (see the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors) has become more of a marketing term that has no standardized relation with functional feature sizes or with transistor density (number of transistors per square millimeter).

So each recent process has an explanation on Wikipedia like

> The term "3 nanometer" has no relation to any actual physical feature (such as gate length, metal pitch or gate pitch) of the transistors. According to the projections contained in the 2021 update of the International Roadmap for Devices and Systems published by IEEE Standards Association Industry Connection, a 3 nm node is expected to have a contacted gate pitch of 48 nanometers and a tightest metal pitch of 24 nanometers.

Respectively from

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_device_fabricati...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_nm_process
No. It's nowhere near as powerful as desktop Nvidia cards.

It's about as powerful as a PS5.
So what about that Cinema4D rendering performance that showed 2x vs the M2 Max?

Was that GPU or CPU?
Apple signed a deal with TSMC to purchase nearly all of their available 3nm chips for the next year. Ethical or not, they positioned themselves to ensure almost no competitors could develop on 3nm until they did first since no fab on earth has the scale of TSMC. They could ride this plan for years if it pays them.
Intel straggler here. And I'll remain one until Linux runs flawlessly on the newer generation. I have an older Thinkpad as my main workhorse and a now quite old Macbook air for on the road, it's battery has been shot for a long time but it still works quite good when plugged in and I'm too much of a miser to have it replaced. But if there is a way to run a full Linux distro on the newer hardware then I'll probably buy one. But I'm under no illusion that Apple makes their hardware to cater to me and that's perfectly fine.
By the way, the definition of a vector space means we have a 0 vector, and the distribute property means that multiplication has to respect it.

v * w = v * (w + 0) # Vector space property that w + 0 = w

= v * w + v * 0 # Distributive property

Another vector space property guarantees that there exists -(v * w) such that -(v * w) + (v * w) = 0. Add it to both sides

-(v * w) + v * w = -(v * w) + v * w + v * 0

0 = 0 + v * 0 # And then reduce based on the definition of -(v * w)

0 = v * 0 # Vector space property that 0 + x = x

So you have your icing :)
As I said before, let’s see a product first running Windows, with native software and a decent x86 emulator.
...And TSLA is down about $80 billion in that time period.

A grad student in Systems Biology and 20k in funding is capable of generating much more "interesting" things than toxic molecules. (Such things are banned by Asilomar's 1975 convention though)
I've seen a lot of people hating on LOC as a measure of complexity, but I think there is a signal in the noise.

I think it does a pretty good job of identifying if you're fighting your tech/language or doing things the "intended" idiomatic way. The difference is usually at least an order of magnitude in LOC.
Functionally, how does this impact observed performance on heavy loads like code compile or video manipulation? I doubt it's not much, and these are the low/mid-tier priced machines we are talking about.

If you bought a $2k M2 machine and traded it for a $2k M3 machine, you may gain better battery life with no concessions, except for benchmark measurements (that don't affect your daily work).
It’s a huge nice-to-have. Moving from a decently beefy laptop to a MacBook has been night and day for me in terms of (a) not worrying about windows smart sleep (or whatever it’s called) waking my laptop so it’s warm and dead when I go to use it a few hours later and (b) not worrying about my laptop being dead when I open it after the weekend.

(a) should have been fixed years ago but still randomly happens on my partner’s laptop. (b) is a pain to deal with when you just want to get in to work. No longer having wall wort proximity anxiety every time I go to use my MacBook is really nice.

I’ll move back when laptops catch up though since I miss dual booting.
Why not block third party controls in the online components only, even allow a ‘ranked’ that requires authorised hardware.

This is a money grab and not anything else, presumably do this now, and start pumping out console exclusives ones the rage has died down.
Especially if your account is no longer accessible; a problem I had with Uber after changing my phone number. Bombarded with "Uber Eats" spam and no way to unsubscribe without going through some kind of ridiculous process to reactivate the account.
This, plus a risk of EUR/USD exchange rate going wrong way in the next year.
a few years back, android was used "widely" in the embedded space where a GUI touchscreen is needed other than phone and tablet, now it's pretty much just for phones, and to some extent tablets.

the reason is, unlike phone and tablet vendors, small players just can't catch up the new changes from Android, which is very complex, gradually they moved away.

Keep in mind, it has to do x64 -> ARM64 transition and translate Direct X into Metal. I would expect a native version to work better.
Autistic people aren't retarded. Airport personnel and
law enforcement have leverage over you-- if not the risk
of getting shot, maced or tased, they are what stands
in your way of getting to your flight on time. You
will respect their authority or you will miss your
flight and/or suffer pain and inconvenience.

The autistic are perfectly capable of reasoning their way
through this while simultaneously recognizing that the
airport cop is Just Some Guy.

Absolutely. The linked article, while clearly wanting to be some kind of rallying cry for neurodivergence, is ultimately just super insulting.
It's the difference between drag-dropping a reference between "projects" or whatnot in your monolith project, or coming up with a publish pipeline after which your merged code gets into the repo so that other people can use it, if you have three projects in three checkouts that all have to be coordinated and merged in order so that you don't accidentally break your environment and worry about security and and and....

One is much simpler than the other. Artifact management is surprisingly complex, it only looks like it works great while you aren't managing many versions and acting more like a monolith, just spread across repos/deploy points.
Physical footprint changes like this are sloooooow. For example, “according to the latest data from the 2021 American Community Survey (ACS), the median age of owner-occupied homes was 40 years.” Add that to every other problem you mentioned, and several more in comments, and even in places like Arizona where a shaded parking spot is valuable than typical you just don’t see a ton of installations.
Today? Sure. Thus my statement, which came with a caveat about not running ARM images, the implication being that it's a rare thing today.
This is step closer, after few more steps they'll make sure only those "approved" companies can operate email server... leading to more internet centralization.
I don't think you can see the problem with your own analogy...

Human made ski runs only will use as much snow as they need because snow is expensive. If ski runs were popular/useful based on their depth then I'm absolutely sure some greedy company would keep piling it up until disaster occurred (mining waste is another great example here).

So how much 'intelligence' is enough? How much capability is too much? How fast is too fast when thinking?

We will never stop improving our capabilities unless some natural law provides that limit. And we absolutely know the base limit to intelligence is the smartest person. And there is little reason to 'peak' intelligence to be limited at the level of humans and their power restricted formats.
Consumer nVidia cards are constrained by their RAM which is inconvenient considering the sizes of popular LLMs. An M2 Ultra basically gives you 100+ GB VRAM which is nice.
Because you'll pay if you're in the market for that much memory.
Also, who would potentially be building it? Unless you tell me Samsung has a five-year roadmap, I am skeptical.
It's a pretty good place to work for a time. Don't let folk who b!tch that they're the devil tell you that they are unless you experience the company yourself. Lots of folk leave disgruntled because Oracle doesn't give in to their financial demands.
How do you even know where the previous poster does live?

Nepotism is a staunchly human thing and very much visible in all societies. I grant you that there have been authors suggesting nepotisim is a problem in south america and south/east asia. Its also an issue in Europe, in fact it's an issue in North America as well.

The national bent is unnecessary. The aggressiveness belies ulterior motives too easily.
Lenovo Thinkpads? You can absolutely have two m2 slots with a good screen and a solid graphics card. https://psref.lenovo.com/Product/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_P1_Gen_6
Agree with all of that, and want to add a shoutout to the Cult of Done [0].

Very few things need to be perfect, or right first try. Waiting until the last possible moment is a version of perfectionism that is often counter-productive. Trying something out before it's needed gives room to experiment and discover new approaches.

I love Apple's E cores. It just sucks that the M3 pro gains so few given the reduction in P cores.

Apple's E cores take up ~1/4 the die space of their P core. If the M3 pro lost 2 performance cores but gained 4-8 efficiency cores it'd be a much more reasonable trade.
