Well, benchmarks are nice. But a processor is not an end user product. How do you think this is going to be as a product once you put it in a PC running Windows - especially as Microsoft struggles trying to get third party apps on ARM and MS’s own substandard x86 emulator
sort of depends - if i was going to ask the question, i would say:

"who is the most famous artist in the world alive today?"

i might come up with david hockney - but not this git.
Yep. But, me and everyone I know keeps their laptops plugged in most of the time at work or at home, so not everyone needs all day battery life.
Could be a number of things. Parking lots that are large enough would be for commercial buildings (i.e., office building or shopping centers). The owner of the building + parking lot might not want to be in the energy production business. And working out a legal agreement with the local power company might be too complicated. For example, a car hits a support for the solar panels. Or a solar panel falls and totals are car. If a panel on a farm falls and kills a cow the downside is relatively minor.

The technology is moving fast. The law and lawyers typically don't move as fast.
In terms of maximum RAM, I also wonder if their Unified Memory is also a factor. there's only so much you can cram into a single SOC. I suppose they could support off-chip stuff, but something something bandwidth.
The M3 chips are 30% faster than the M2 chips for efficiency cores and 15% faster for performance cores. The overall performance is still impressive and there is no alternative to M*s when compared with performance per watt. But others have caught up, for example https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-9-7940hs is very good.
Your fantasy resonates. Sometimes I really wish I had F.U.-level savings.
And in more recent times, how the USA first viewed Japan and later Korea.
The M3 base model replaces a computer with two thunderbolt ports. It now has MagSafe, 2 thunderbolt ports, HDMI, and SDXC.

How is that a downgrade?

i dont get why being private makes you invisible to tax collectors. Taxation and ownership model are orthogonal concerns.
I'm personally always near a wall socket. My laptop is mostly a desktop. When I'm out and need to use the battery, it's only for a few hours. Do people really need >8h battery life?
I don't think the government is talking about AI for weapons. of course that will be allowed. It's the US, we have the right to kill people. Just not make fake porn videos of them.
Would be interested in a link to a model if you have one handy!
Overall the changes seem sensible. For those wanting to self host there are plenty of guides out there on how to configure various MTAs with all of the required bits.

BUT, Why does IP reputation matter so much these days when you have DKIM, MTA-STS, DANE and other mechanisms that provide verification of the sender?

Say I want to startup a Email Service Provider, I need to go and source a bunch of IPv4 typically to have a premium upsell for end users to really ensure cross sender reputation does not impact other tenants. Crazy.

IPv6 historically at least was anecdotally punished by the likes of GMAIL, Yahoo, Hotmail, Office365 etc. Does anyone know if IPv6 hosted email severs still suffer additional spam scoring?

B&H doesn't stock it anymore, but it looks like other places still sell it with updated specs.
Who cares what they want? They work in a pit of ethical unaccountability.
No, the benefit of DB plans over target date retirement funds is obvious and undeniable. A DB fund offers participants a guaranteed benefit with the additional risk of taking a haircut in bankruptcy. A target date index fund offers no such guarantee whatsoever. Further, a pension can provide equivalent benefits of individual retirement accounts much cheaper. Who will pay fewer basis points for the target date fund, you or a billion dollar pension?

What happens to the proportion of workers who buy the target date fund (even narrowing ourselves to the ones who contribute appropriately and so on) who effectively outlive their money? Kicked to the curb?
It is not all 3rd party controllers. It is "unauthorized accessory" controllers which excludes devices that are part of the "designed for Xbox” hardware partner program.
8gb is pretty bad. I have an M2 Pro with 16gb, & that limit is regularly pushed, & that without regularly pushing things hard, resource-wise (then again, I've seen plenty of people on both PCs & Macs shut down whatever applications they weren't actively using when they switched between them. If testing shows that to be really common, I could see 8gb being plenty for the majority of users. Crazy user patterns, to be sure, but to each their own). If I get an M3, it will have 36 (or whatever Minis will have available) just for the headroom.
That could be any gaming laptop from any manufacturer., those are the only ones who still ship with upgradable RAM and dual M.2 slots.
Facebook doesn't sell data. They sell access to data. I'm not trying to be pedantic, but it's important because it's meaningfully different.

Facebook doesn't sell data to other ad companies because that'd be giving away the very thing that makes it the most valuable advertising company in the world.
Hell, we spend a huge amount on facebook, and it's impossible for us to get reports on basic things like "Spend per placement per hour".

The only area that I could see them _maybe_ still monetizing an opt'ed out user is with Meta Audience Network, but I bet they would still opt them out of seeing ads on 3rd party sites that have MAN ads in their stack because that business segment is likely small compared to potential PR and fines in the EU.
The presentation mentioned dynamic GPU caching: that seems like something transformer models would like.
Is that because you update your rustc every month or two by either, 1. using a rolling distro, or 2. pulling down a new one from out of repo sources using rustup... | sh, etc as is standard rust community practice? Or did you really use a normal non-rolling distro's packaged rustc and never run into problems in 5 years?

If the former, well... yeah. If the later, I'm impressed. I wasn't doing anything complex. I had it happen even with simple programs like a rust web scraper tool for web serials to epub and a rust FFT visualizer for software defined radio.
Not yet, but they're coming down the pipe.

> Also, does this require across the stack changes? i.e. not just OS ones.

I'm not sure where you draw the boundary between 'stack' and 'os'. Can you expand a bit?

> I mean, they are still selling just consumer electronics. Scientists and industry use Linux and Windows

Anyone who's worked at a research university knows Macs are popular among professors, researchers and students. These folks also start companies and work in industry and they generally don't switch platforms unless it's absolutely necessary.
A little offtop for everyone who uses comparisons that "old good days" computers/whatever were more expensive so new generation don't have moral ground to complain. Please don't forget about overall context. In that old day you could afford to buy house and don't spend the most of the income for renting. So it's incorrect to simply compare prices for one specific niche, overall context for expenses should be counted in.

Technically: a solar panel is just such a machine. You'll have to wait a long, long time but the degradation is slow enough that you can probably use a panel for more than several human life times at ever decreasing output. You will probably find it more economical to replace the panel at some point because of the amount of space it occupies and the fact that newer generations of solar panels will do that much better in that same space. But there isn't any hard technical reason why you should discard one after 10, 30 or 100 years. Of course 'infinite' would require the panel to be 'infinitely durable' and likely at some point it will suffer mechanical damage. But that's not a feature of the panel itself.
I would bet that the Xbox Accessibility controller will never be profitable for Microsoft
I remember getting one of those shiny aluminum MacBooks in 2009. Then MacBooks turned plastic and the aluminum ones became MacBook Pro's. Is this a thing Apple does? I'm not an Apple customer for many years now.
I agree. And the longevity of them specifically for me. My M1 (MBP and MBA) keyboards shine after a few weeks' of activity whereas no shining on older MBPs with a decade of use – it reeks of a quality degradation.
Some escape mechanism like insurance.

This is just scare talk, nobody says that a checking account is impossible without "some escape mechanism" meaning FDIC.

Different customers of the same company can respond differently to their actions. In this case my opinion is that this a net good. Others can and will disagree, of course!

Having worked on a Geogig-as-a-Service proof-of-concept for a moment in time, the problems there were: no way to see commits and changes on a map (GitHub's later addition of a GeoJSON view and diff map being the final knell), and no server to host your repos (i.e. you would host your own Java/Maven server). The word was that a big government or military customer wanted this technology and didn't need any of that consumer-facing stuff, so the open source aspect was more of a "let's see if it catches on".

My project never took off because it was my first cloud and Maven project, but it was fun to tinker with the idea until GitHub got around to its GeoJSON stuff.
Stop gaslighting yourself. You prompted it to behave this way it's not the AI randomly doing shit. Implications matter.
That doesn't really answer my question but I was able to find some more info.

These claims appear to be based on studies in which PM2.5 levels have been correlated (by statistical models) with increased risks of heart disease as well as respiratory problems.

I haven't been able to find anything describing exact mechanisms.

But Pope et al [1] concluded that "a decrease in the concentration of PM2.5 of 10 μg per cubic meter is associated with an increase in life expectancy of 0.77 year."

For comparison, the EPA's clean air standard for PM2.5 is 12 μg per cubic meter.

It's so simultaneously baffling and repulsive to me that a celebrity can so easily weaponize their throngs of parasocial adoring masses and point them like a mob cannon at somebody. It's unfortunate how tribalism / pack mentality quickly leads to control and manipulation.
Single molecule fluroescence has been around for a while; when I was in grad school, students in another lab were doing this. They'd label motor proteins (which use energy to move in a specific direction) to visualize them on a surface and calculate their velocity.

The particle can be much smaller than the resolution, as long as it's really bright, it will just sort of "smear out" over multiple adjacent pixels and it's possible, with some arcane trickery, to then localize to a sub-pixel.
What job do you have that requires you to work non stop for 20 hours away from a wall socket? I understand the need for autonomy but there are diminishing returns. It's ok to start looking at other decision factors past a certain point.

Many ASD-related surveys are not confirmed-diagnosed either, but only self-reporting as ASD.

I mean I get it, it'd be a colossal pain to verify all that medical data, but it also makes for bad science.
> What does this have to do with autism, though? It is not defined by the ability to read signs, is it?

No but it's partly defined by the lower ability to form part of social groups and thus follow others on autopilot. And thus being more aware of situations.

The story was not really a definition rather than a symptom. One that can be caused by more than one thing.
Are you attempting to equate a committee selecting panels with scientific method and peer review?
In addition to the reduced memory bandwidth, the M3 pro also loses 2 performance cores for only 2 more efficiency cores.

M2 pro: 8 performance cores + 4 efficiency cores.

M3 pro: 6 performance cores + 6 efficiency cores.

Not a great trade... I'm not sure the M3 pro can be considered an upgrade
Logitech used to be great. Years ago my mice broke, they asked me to destroy it and send video, and sent me replacement which arrived several days later. I think it was even out of warranty, and i just posted ticket to check if anything can be done, wasn't even asking for replacement. Hasn't paid anything, too, they covered shipping costs as well.

Sadly, nowadays their CS is shit (long waiting times and i heard that they stopped that "destruction replacements"), quality of their peripherals is shit (two logitech g502 started double clicking or de-pressing buttons after just 5 months, and that's 150$ mice! And switches in their mechanical keyboard started to die after less than a year), and logitech g hub is probably one of the worst peripheral software i ever used, on par with razer one.

I almost religiously used logitech peripherals for years. Now it's just different company.

Grafana, not "customer support" per se (because i'm not paying customer), but their community slack have grafana team devs who frequently answer questions and help with issues. I hit pretty specific issue in one of their products, and one of their devs (Joe Elliot, if i recall correctly) spent some significant amount of his time to help me debug and identify some issue that only, it seems, emerged in my specific install. Generally common sight in their slack, seems like they do care alot about their opensource community.
That's a convenient metric. Or rather, the lack of it. My common sense tells me there are significantly more people using third party controllers than there are cheaters, though.
Super cool people are doing this. But I wonder: how will training data be any different from password lists of yore, which were the arms race secret sauce that no one ever shared?
I think the point is more that "is it worth buying this new m3 or should I buy a secondhand m2 for half the price?"
It did get more difficult (for me at least) with 2 & 3. There are some economies of scale - you kind of establish the life infrastructure to have space for kids at #1, so there are morning routines, night time routines, you have clothes to hand down, care arrangements, car seat(s) etc. Barring special challenges each one is not 100% more effort. Also I think parenting (like most things) improves with practice so it felt like that got easier.

What I did feel was that 2+ was more "strain" - any existing relationship problems or issues (and esp. around time...) were exacerbated. If you are feeling e.g. time stress with 1 you will probably feel more with 2 and so on. For me it is something I still have to keep communicating / negotiating / working on.

Re: commitment - there's only so much attention / parental investment you will be able to give. Each child will almost certainly get less of it individually if you have more kids, whether that is play, homework help, money, driving around, or just plain paying attention to them. I tried to give as much as I was able to one and had to divide it up when we had more.

Eldest was not super pleased to have siblings / have to share parents so lots of adjustment required there. They're all obsessed with "fairness" and closely monitor everything to make sure they are "getting their share" :). There is a whole set of extra dynamics to manage.

I do think it's gotten easier (for now). For me personally the toddler years have been the most difficult, an absolutely burning need for attention, SO many questions, absolutely no boundaries. School age and up has been easier for me (so far..). Baby times are just a haze now.

The tradeoff for less parent availability is that they get to learn different things from each other. It drives me crazy when they squabble but it's learning in action, and when they get along it's pure magic. I think our family could have been "complete" with one. The increased chaos and emergent behaviours of N is great too, just different.

Thanks for the questions, I got a lot out of taking time to reflect on them.

In my experience you unfortunately just can't put 'surprise' at the root. That's just one form. You'll discover that literally the opposite is also true, and that people will crack up laughing when exactly what they expect to happen ends up happening.

Catchphrases are a classic example of this, but it's everywhere. I once wrote a pretty terrible sketch where Sean Connery kept saying 'schlap' over and over. By the end of it, there was a sentence where it was obviously, blatantly, absolutely going to end in the word 'schlap'. You could /feel/ the the audience hang on that expectation, and when it inevitably hit, they lost their minds. Zero surprise. Zero subversion of expectation. Brought the house down.

"Benign violation" is the only generalization that I have found comes close to being true. Why did that line land even though it was no surprise? Because while it didn't violate expectations, it violated a lot of other norms (mockery, incorrect pronunciation, domestic abuse). And in fact, the more predictable it got, the funnier it got, because it simply became absurd that it was being uttered so frequently.

In any case, I have literally never been able to write anything funny from first principles like "surprise" or "benign violation". If you try, you ironically put yourself in the mindstate opposite to the nature of those terms. You actually need to forget the principles, to let go and be free, to reach anything that fits the principles.
No kids and never will (vasectomy). Parents couldn't care less. They were intrigued by the ancestry stuff though. They're not long of this world anyway and probably won't live to see genetic medicines become an everyday reality :(

My partner's bigger family also contributed a lot of their DNA to this or similar services. I'll have to ask her what they think of sharing it with third (fourth?) parties. Be an interesting data point at least. I feel like the HN crowd holds a lot of uncommon opinions (not good or bad, just different from most people I know IRL).

I lost a lot of respect for Matt Levine with the pretzels he contorted himself into trying to defend the Texas Two Step as "really, truly, better for the plaintiffs", ignoring the two elephants in the room: if it was beneficial to the plaintiffs, why would the defendant go out of their way to do it? And how is it, by magical coincidence, that every firm that has done the Texas Two Step has managed to get out of paying up an average of over 90% (approaching 98% in a few cases) of their anticipated liabilities for decades of malfeasance and injury?

Matt and these firms would like us to believe that we should just trust them, "it will be so much more convenient and cheaper for you to sue us this way - we want to make sure we look after you... now. And we, really, truly, honest-to-god, promise that we'll actually fund the liability-stricken new entity we create^".
