In my experience the bozos were absolutely not the newbies. Maybe you work in a job that is dedicated to engineering only, but what happens is that often in a company of non-engineers, some kinda reorg happens where a person ends up on your team who never studied programming in their life, with the assumption that the person is a go-getter who will be able to pick all this stuff up. The experiment is never called a failure when they consistently fail to learn. 2 years later the same underwhelming "engineer" will still be there getting other people to do their work while desperately trying to introduce bugs into production.

The new efficiency cores are 30% faster than M2, and the performance ones 20% faster, so lets do the math:

M2: 8 + 4

M3: 6*1.2 + 6*1.3 =
7.2 + 7.8

That’s nearly double the M2’s efficiency cores, a little less on the performance ones.

They do say the system overall is up to 65% faster, and has lower power consumption at the same performance level.

Anyone can lose the genetic lottery (and everyone might lose it in some way). Even if you're considered fine by the genetic standards of the day, you can never be sure that your future kids or grandkids will be. Everyone will know someone, a close friend or family member, that's been negatively impacted by the laws so it's much harder to boogie man or "other" them.

Those laws would be wildly unpopular and would never survive in a democracy or even a populist dictatorship.

Third places are also useless because they have increasingly adopted the norms of the office.
You posted this elsewhere but to be clear, you are wrong.

The defund the police movement, at least the one in the US that gained popularity between 2017 and 2021, was explicitly aimed at eliminating the concept of policing. The belief is that because policing began with South Carolina slave patrols (it did not, but that doesn't matter) that the whole concept is corrupt and changes in execution won't fix the heart of the problem.

In order to fix it, policing needs to be entirely destroyed and rethought, from first principles. The funding would be allocated towards community building and outreach a la the Cure Violence programs in NYC. Since crime is of course solely an economic and mental health issue, with proper education, stipends and mental health resources crime can be eliminated without needing a police force at all.

Some of the elements aren't bad, but taken together it was not a good idea.
No that is not what people are upset about. They are upset that their life's work is being used without even asking permission, for someone else to get insanely rich.

That's what they're upset about.

If there were no use for 2D artists, then Stability Ai wouldn't be making an AI to replace them.

Key word here is: replace. 2D artists are not becoming obsolete - they're being replaced by a machine that was trained on their works without permission.

If you want to make an AI that does amazing paintings, and doesn't use human training data, more power to you. I can't compete with that. But if you use MY WORK to make a machine that's going to replace me, you do it under the cover of darkness and without permission - yeah i'll get pretty mad.

What happened to visual artists was more like Logitech announcing Logitech CoPilot and revealing they've extracted code from keylogging for the past 20 years.

Sorry, you're entirely mistaken, there is no business laptop that you could reasonably buy with more than 16G of RAM. I know because I had to buy a high end workstation laptop (Dell Precision 5520 FWIW) because no other laptop was supporting more than 16G of RAM in a thin chassis.

No Dell Latitude, Elitebook, Thinkpad X/T-series or even Fujitsu lifebook supported a CPU that was permitting greater than 16GiB of memory.

I know this because it was something I was looking at intently at the time and was very happy when the restrictions were lifted for commercially viable laptop SKUs.

Citing that something exists predisposes the notion of availability and functionality. No sane person is going to be rocking into the room with a Precision 7520 and calling it portable. The thing could be used as a weapon and not much else if you had no power source for more than 2hrs.

Also, socketed anything definitely increases material reliability. I ship desktop PC's internationally pretty often and the movement of shipping unseats components quite easily even with good packing.

I'm talking as if I'm against socketed components, I'm not, but don't pretend there's no downsides and infinite upgrade as an upside, it's disingenuous, in my experience there are some minor reliability issues (XPS17 being an exceptional case and one I was using to illustrate that sometimes we cherry pick what one manufacturer is doing with the belief that there were no trade offs to get there) and some limitations on the hardware side that limit your upgrade potential outside of being soldered.
"We have always done it this way" comes to mind.

The thing is, in simple cases recursion can easily be replaced with iteration, and in complex cases it is hard to reason about. Fortran didn’t (use to) have support for it, which made it a perfect tool for writing high-performance code.

So? If I can reliably lose every basketball game, that doesn't make be perfect at basketball.

To put it more plainly: if you were wagering on the outcome, would you rather win 50% of the time (EV=0) or 100% of the time (EV=max)?

100% misprediction is only relevant if a 3rd party adversary is observing the game. In the absence of such an adversary, being reliably wrong it worthless.
The point stands: if your argument were true of the Catholic Church being ruled by money and doing whatever it economically can do to propagate, the Church would behave much differently than it currently does. But, the Church is not doing everything economically possible to propagate today, so there must be some other ruling principle.

> a platform built for watching nonstop cat videos.

And who are you to decide that YouTube should be for cat videos and not high quality educational and documentary videos? On our family TV we have YouTube subscribed to a lot of documentary and educational channels. Recommendations are consistently of the highest quality. On my FreeTube I have other subscriptions to more immersive quality scientific and crafts videos. There is no other platform where videos like these are published.

Who are you to come and say that these videos shouldn't be on YouTube and that these creators shouldn't get paid from me watching their videos? How does our use infringe on yours?

You might as well say that serious debate or business should not be conducted online, because everybody knows the internet is for porn and Minecraft.

There has been a silent revolution lately on YouTube as to the offering of high quality content. Things aren't how they used to be.
They probably do make more money… actually. At least in net profit.

Cost in time to setup a bare metal, production quality k8s cluster with all the bells and whistles from the cloud: 2 weeks and a skill I will have forever. In fact, the second cluster took 4 hours.

Monthly cost: $240 per month.

Time to spin up a new worker, using cloud compute for elastic load beyond base load: 5 minutes.

Base load capabilities: 120ish cores, 1tb ram, ridiculous terabytes of storage.

Cost to run on managed k8s in the cloud: $5-20k per month.

I would add that broader AV1 support is also a good news for low latency application like Cloud gaming or streaming to VR headsets. HW accelerated encoding/decoding improve upon HEVC on every metrics so you can get near real-time streaming with higher quality and lower bandwidth requirements.
The same could be said on the opposite direction.

Maybe, just maybe, spending an hour/2 hours every single day commuting is not your thing and you are much more productive using this time for yourself, like exercising every day.

Maybe you need personal space, controlled by you and not someone else, with the tools you consider necessary.

Maybe you can't stand open offices that some sociopath wants to force you to work on. Or maybe you are have a late biorhythm metabolism and they want to force you into early rising.

Maybe you can run circles around anybody working in the office when you organise yourself.

Maybe you know how to make friends and lovers on your own because you are an adult now, not a kid and know how to care for yourself. Maybe you have family that love to be with, or needs you, like your elders or your kids. Someone will care for them but you will be close.

Then maybe it is not a good idea for you to work on an office. Not a big deal, humans have worked on their own for hundreds of thousands of years.

Lots of managers are scared about that though. It is good news for them if you can't make friends or lovers outside job, because that makes you dependant on them.

It is a good thing for them if you can't manage yourself unless someone is watching you closely, because that makes them necessary.

And is something to be expected. People had been trained for a long time in education to be obedient and dependable. To fit in the office or the manufacturing plant.

Working remotely is not for everybody. But for me certainly it is.

I think it's the city's fault. People tend to move to the suburbs when they have kids because they are dissatisfied with their options in the US. If people lived close to the office would we be having this conversation? The long-commute both ways kills the office.
I am glad the UK governments of the recent decade have such a strong stand against corruption, out of their deeply ingrained principles.

To be blunt that sounds like operator inexperience. Throw someone who's spent their life setting up Windows servers on a Linux box and you'd hear similar resentments.

At the end of the day you still need to configure the instances for things like auto scaling, security patches, logging and so on. IAM & VPC still come into the mix when running on EC2, so you've avoided nothing.
Again why would you ever trust a third party for your login screen?

You can script window layout with Applescript or JavaScript. You’ve literally been able to do that since the 90a.

Robotic Process Automation October Release – BotCity Platform
> Is Android really that different?

no, this has little to do with android

but "GNU/Linux applications are typically quite portable across CPUs" is only this case because a lot of people have a lot of interest and time invested into making that work

but for many commercial apps there is little insensitive to spend any time into making them work with anything but ARM (even older armv7 might not be supported because depending on what your app does the market share makes that not worth it)

still with both ARM and RSIV-V havine somewhat similar memory models and in general today people writing much more C/C++ standard compatible code instead of "it's UB in therefor but will work on this hardware"-nonsense I don't see to many technical issues

on issue could be that a non negligible amount of Android apps which use the NDK use it only to "link" code from other toolchains into android apps, e.g. rust binaries. And while I'm not worried about rust I wouldn't be surprised if some toolchains used might not support RISK-V when it starts to become relevant. Especially when it comes to the (mostly but not fully) snake oil nonsense stuff banking apps tend to use I would be surprised if there wouldn't be some issues.

Through in the end the biggest issue is a fully non technical one:

- if you release an app with NDK you want to test it on real hardware for all archs you support (no matter if there is some auto cross compilation or interpretation (like Roseta)

- but to do so you need access to such hardware, emulators might be okay but are not always cutting it

- but there aren't any RISK-V android phones yet

- but to release such phones you want to have apps, especially stuff like paypal or banking apps available

- but to have such things available the providers much evaluate it to be worth the money it costs to test which is based on marked share which is starting at 0 and slow growing due to missing support for some apps and missing killer features

So I think RISK-V android will be a think but as long as multiple big companies are not pushing it strongly it will take a very long time until it becomes relevant in any way.

The AV1 ASIC takes up space on the SoC, so effectively it decreases the performance of other parts. This could be why some manufacturers have delayed including support for quite a while. Though Mediatek already had AV1 support three years ago.

> Imagine a nationwide US gov research program that collects DNA for the purposes of prescription drug research.

It's not unprecedented in other parts of the world. Almost every single person born after 1975 in Sweden is a part of the PKU-registry whose usage is encoded in Swedish law:

> On July 1, 2023, a new Biobank Act came into force (Act 2023:38). The Act specifies the purposes for which PKU samples may be stored: medical care and diagnostics, epidemiological studies, monitoring and quality assurance of operations, and clinical research and development.

The promise was always that police would never be able to use it for lookups. Unsurprisingly, the police has been trying to get access to it since inception.

I'm not sure how useful it's been though, I don't think I've come across anything major that has been solved via the registry, but then I'm not heavily in biology and related areas, so maybe that's just my ignorance.

I won’t say my experience is either like you or the GP’s post. Average commute time here is maybe 10min - 1hr and yeah it probably involves a train. Not too many people living far away from their other colleagues, among the folks I know. Montreal is dense enough.

But I’d say maybe only a quater or less of people I know would be positive about a return to office. (Me excluded, surprisingly)

It’s a pretty low percentage of people because it’s low flexibility for pretty much no benefits unless you’re a special kind of weirdo (myself)

I was much closer with coworkers at previous jobs where we saw each other in person on a regular basis in an office.

I’m not saying that mandatory in office is a good thing, but I am saying I think all of you insisting there’s 0 benefit to a regular in-person cadence are either antisocial or heavily biased. It isn’t always “the man” just trying to get his way.

Even more so for new college grads who may have moved for a job and don’t have a strong local social circle.

The longer battery life is genuinely useful to a wide range of people in a way that being able to connect 38 external monitors is not.

I recently went on a 5-day trip and forgot to bring the charger for my M2. The first day I thought I'd have to rush around and find one. By the fourth day I still had 8% and then finally realized I could charge it via USB-C instead of magsafe.
I like to go to the office once and awhile. I do not have very many friends. The only interaction I get these days is from the office. What few friends I do have all moved to different states ages ago. Also you do not want 'to be the old guy at the bars'. WFH made it much more lonely. Getting out and having some interaction is OK even with your icky coworkers.
> It's the most obvious way of eventually getting rid of per-site cookie notices - make DNT legally enforceable and cookie notices become irrelevant for people who have it switched on.

I think this is unlikely to happen, because most websites actually want to track you. So they will display the banner anyway, or perhaps a slightly modified version like "we noticed you have your DNT turned on, but are you willing to make an exception just for us?"

That gives them a chance users will consent anyway to get rid of the cookie banner. And they will argue that a specific consent given on their website overrides the generic non-consent represented by DNT.
