Yes, that's one of the principles, but I'd strongly dispute the characterisation in the post I replied to that this is to prevent the "plebs" having something to "criticise". On the contrary, it helps ensure that elections are meaningful, as there are no constraints on what the legislature thus elected can do. They are not bound by the actions of previous parliaments. The UK could far more easily repeal its gun laws than the US could repeal the 2nd amendment, were the population to want that.

Not that I'm claiming the US model is inferior in some way, of course. Constitutional questions are complex and heavily dependent on a country's history and culture. One apparent weakness of the US system is that enormous power is placed in the hands of a group of unelected officials, appointed and approved by the current executive and legislature, who then wield that power for life. I could make that point by pointing out that the law on one of the most contentious issues, abortion, has been determined for decades by the partisan composition of the supreme court rather than by public opinion. I could say something like "the US constitution is there to prevent the hoi polloi having a say" but it wouldn't make any point worth making or lead to a reasoned discussion. The issue is rather more nuanced than that.
What is Pro to you? I ask, because it can be a huge range of professional tasks and many won’t need the higher performance of the Max, but will benefit from the efficiency of the Pro.

The Pro is still a significant jump over the base M3, both in performance and capability across every metric. It just happens to be a mid range SKU and for some reason people seem to think in binary high/low terms.

I’d bet it’s the most common of the SKUs sold.

OpenGL support is currently necessary for targeting web and certain other platforms. The industry might be trending away from it, but it is still very much used.
My current passion is to maintain and fix cars. No modification because very little is allowed in my country and I keep the budget super tight.

I started about a year ago. Prior to starting I had never owned a car or done any sort of mechanic task. My first oil change was on a friend's car before I actually owned a car (getting to his place with a jack, jackstands and other tools in a rental mechanic bike was an experience in itself).

Getting into that hobby was a key factor in my battle with depression. While I've not recovered my pre-covid energy, I'm in a much better place.

Since then, I've done minor operations on 5 cars, and lots of things, including non-trivial operations (suspension overhaul, gearbox replacement) on the car I bought to be my "test dummy" (though it's by no means a beater, I bought it running and driving, it's just 20 years old with a fair mileage).

I would definitely recommend that hobby, especially if you already own a car and have a space to do it (living in an appartment, I had neither and still figured it out)

I also started a Youtube channel of filming myself doing those operations, but I'm not that passionate about it. I'm still on the fence of whether to stop or continue it. While I'm proud of it, it's a time sink and the few bad comments (it's the internet after all) leave a bitter taste.
Eh. Much current C code is somewhat safe-ish because of Herculean efforts to not screw it up.

If the author can use “C” to mean “C or C++” (WTF) then I’m going to use “Rust” to mean “any language designed to make it easier to write correct code”. Rust’s memory handling removes so many footguns like use-after-free that whole classes of exploits evaporate. Then it adds a type system that makes it hard to write whole classes of logic errors. For the encore: since a programmer knows that code that compiles cleanly doesn’t make those related mistakes, they can spend more of their time concentrating on algorithms and business logic instead of RAM bookkeeping and trying to remember whether the “x uint64_t” argument is supposed to be the file offset or the size of the data or the number of chickens to pack because they all use the same type.

I can write assembler. It’s fun. I’d hate to do more than a smattering of it for a living, because life’s too short to keep manually doing what a computer’s good at. Rust lets me think about what I’m doing instead of how I’m doing it, so instead of worrying about the trees I can make sure I’m taking care of the forest.
Wanting to be successful in a field that is driven by capricious technical whimsy and uncorrelated luck is generally a mistake. Do it for yourself, come what may.
My two cents: weaving through dense traffic is stressful and probably puts you at a higher risk of an accident than remaining in the same lane for an extra 5 minutes. I prefer to ignore those kind of shortcuts.

Nope that might be me. I started this comment thread and I didn't even manage to snag one despite getting direct replies multiple times with codes.
As someone in tech looking for a role, I agree, though there is some utility for big tech companies where compensation data is available elsewhere. By looking at the upper bound of the salary, I can reasonably infer the level of the role. For example, level 6 SWE roles at Meta show an upper bound of $241k and level 7 SWE roles show $289 (or thereabouts, IIRC).

It's still of limited utility though, since one has to still use an external source to identify bonus percentage and possible range of equity values.
> I'd say gains from M2 Max to M3 Max are pretty reasonable.

How are they reasonable to you? As I see it, they just added 50% more (performance) cores to the M3 Max compared to the M2 Max (12 versus 8, respectively) and achieved 50% higher multi-core performance: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/3434546?baselin.... No rocket science here.

If anything, we should be asking “why only +50% for multi-core performance when single core performance increased by ~20%?”.
It’s a no for me dawg

The parts are not counterfeit or fell of a truck. THey are OEM parts from previously disassembled phones, which has been proven with small sample testing.

Back to the car example, imagine if Ford went after ebay and FB marketplace with some regulatory body, citing the huge industry of totaled -vehicle-part-out sales as being an "exploit".

For this ford example, or the exact equivlent example that is occuring with phones, can you possibly make it make sense to me for a regulatory body to waste it's time with such a simple, obvious non-issue? Bonus points if you can do it without referencing Apple's major influence/market share (this would be illegal.)
I guess there could be more vocal zealots in the Rust Evangelism Strikeforce, but as a member myself I strongly disagree with the premise of the article. Rust is currently the only mainstream option for memory safe development with a focus on performant systems development. The latter emphasis being the primary motivator of people using C/++ in the first place.

If you aren't particularly concerned about systems development or rubber-to-the-bare-metal performance then there are tons of options: managed languages. C#, Java, Go, etc.

If the article is advocating for C/++, please, stop. The claim that there are some safe programs in the world of C is categorically false. [Edit] for example, as soon as you use glibc: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=glibc
The problem is more fundamental. As with Uber, WeWork is an evolution of a simple and well understood business model… but layered with some high-tech fantasy about being able to change the fundamentals of the universe.

WeWork could have succeeded with the franchise model you describe or the focus on being a flexible leasing option for enterprise… but we wouldn’t have heard of them, that wouldn’t be the WeWork we ever knew. WeWork only became big because of the mythology, otherwise it would just be a nicer Regus… which existed before WeWork and will exist long after.

WeWork’s core business was mythology, like Uber, and every other “technology” business from the 2010s. You can peel back all the bullshit and say that their “core business” was good but it was all the bullshit that made WeWork, WeWork.
I think I’m good on explanations from someone being so mad about video game websites that they’re calling for “war” and “genocide”, actually.
I'm not a professional coder, only side-projects. Never formally taught. I looked at the solution and thought it kinda sounds like something I'd come up with. Like when I didn't know how to use data tables and would hold data in an array of arrays to form the rows and columns. Somewhat clever, "works", but would probably make my professional coder friends vomit if I explained it to them.
Unless a system can be proven safe (within whatever the limitations of that proof are) , it is by definition not proven safe. If it can - and most importantly, is - tested for security issues (which are not the same as functionality, though there may be overlap), then some amount of confidence in its safety can be assessed, but it cannot properly be said to be declared as safe simply because of age. Hand waving and saying that uncompromised, at least as is known, code is known safe is simply wrong. Such code is simply not known as unsafe. Conflating the two as equivalent is not good engineering, but it is all too frequently a business case of unknown risk acceptance.

I’m pretty sure half the problem is that people can’t even _get_ the brake pedal to the floor.

When I get in a car and need to adjust the seat, I slide my butt to the back of the seat and push the brake pedal all the way to the floor. What I’m looking for is being able to have it on the floor slightly before my knee locks and without my foot needing to leave the floor (i.e., not lifting my foot up and pushing with the tip of my toes or something).

I know that I can apply 100% braking force. If I were much further back I could not.

I often get in the cars of people 6”+ shorter than me and… don’t need to slide the seat back. I get in cars driven by people around the same height as me and need to pull the seat forward. My wife is one example—she’s around 4” shorter than me and when I drive her car I keep the seat in the same position she does.

It’s a pet theory that the majority of people driving on the road day to day have their seat positioned so they’re actually physically incapable of braking with full strength.

This is why the current high-interest-rate approach worries me. Inflation is high in part because capacity is low. Yet, due to short term demand destruction (meant to "get supply and demand in balance"), long term supply will also not be created, and productive capacity will be permanently diminished. Like in this case, for short term reasons related to "market conditions", Google is canceling construction of 15k homes. It's actually absurd and obscene when you stop to think about it.
I'd take this number with some salt.

Most job boards I've seem correctly parse salary ranges buried in job descriptions about 75% of the time.

Also, this is just one job board; in all my time using internet career websites, I have never even heard of directly apply, so the headline seems a bit sensational in terms of what's being claimed.
I don't know if sections is really the ideal measurement unit for trams – maybe metres makes a bit more sense. Double-articulated buses are usually around 25 m long.

In Germany, the default maximum legal length for a tram running in road traffic (including on dedicated transit lanes [1]) is 75 m. Of course not every tram network goes up to that limit, but at least ~40 m isn't too uncommon, which also approximatively corresponds to the length of a seven-section Citadis (around 43 or 44 m).

The M3 Pro has been neutered

Neutered? What a strange way to describe a chip that is about faster than its predecessor in most benchmarks. You're strangely focusing on an implementation detail rather than actual performance.

https://www.theverge.com/23944344/apple-macbook-pro-14-2023-...

If a car company replaced a 4.0 liter internal combustion engine with a 3.8 liter engine that outperformed its predecessor, would you say that they "neutered it" because hey, you're getting 0.2 less liters of displacement?

For me to call something "crippled" or "neutered" or some such it would have to have actual functionality removed, or a meaningful reduction in actual performance. This is the opposite of that.

If you want to call the M3 Pro an underwhelming upgrade relative to the M2 Pro, that's your right and I don't really disagree with you, but I also think it compares pretty favorably to the annual incremental upgrades from Intel and others.
At this point, Intel's roadmap seems unreasonably optimistic. They haven't launched processors with Intel 4 yet. They're set to be released December 14th, but we aren't seeing Intel launch a full line of processors with Intel 4.

If Intel 4 is coming in December 2023 in a very limited way, are we really expecting 20A in 2024?

I'd love for Intel's roadmap to be real, but it just doesn't seem likely. I guess it also depends on what you mean by "in 2024". For example, Intel 4 came to us "in Q3 2022"[1], but we aren't seeing any processors until 17 months later. If Intel 20A comes to us "in Q3 2024", but we don't see any processors out until December 2025, that's a big difference. It's an especially big difference if it means that it's in processors in December 2025 in a very limited way.

TSMC's 3nm tech is shipping in Apple Silicon CPUs at high volume.

Intel seems to say "Intel 20A Q3 2024", but that isn't when we get CPUs with that tech. Maybe it's when their teams can create limited volume samples? Realistically, it seems like there's 18+ months between Intel's roadmap and the CPUs getting into something you can buy.

Again, I'd love Intel's roadmap to be accurate, but if Intel 4 started "in Q3 2022" and we're getting limited laptops with it in December 2023 or January 2024, that seems like Intel saying that they've gotten to a point well before they can actually get that into our hands.

This will lead to universal low salaries, and real comp decided by bonuses and equity grants like with IB and Amazon. You don’t see full comp revealed, so since they have to show their hand it will trend down and make up the money for who they want to pay more with bonus etc
At the least, they are helpful for people who are not “in the know” for which types of labor are selling for the highest prices.

Maybe non native language speakers, immigrants, the immigrants’ kids, etc. more transparency in labor prices is helpful to at least the people earning less than the highest earners to show them where they can earn more.

I don't think that's absurd. That's a realistic enough salary band for getting hired at Netflix across all levels (https://www.levels.fyi/companies/netflix/salaries/software-e...). It's not like those job listings that put "$0-$1000000 a year" in the salary range just to check the box.

For that role it's most likely, they're hiring multiple security engineers and will level based on experience - most people they hire will probably make $200k-$350k. But the right person (10+ YoE in Security, relevant experience at competing streaming companies, strong interview performance) could definitely negotiate themselves to the top end of that range.
It is extremely cruel to neuter an adult male dog and release it. They will have fatigue, lethargy, and weakness that will slowly kill them. They lose all “fight,” energy, and will to live. It is nothing like neutering a dog before it matures.

A family member had my dog neutered without my permission while watching him him for me, and his rapid decline and death were heartbreaking…. Euthanasia is much less cruel.

How could someone who worked for Kotaku not have a "colorful gamergate history"? What does that mean, exactly, when Gamergate was a hate campaign originally targeting Kotaku writers based entirely on false allegations? Or were they one of the organizers of gamergate somehow?

You're perfectly entitled to dislike their work but it's weird to see people use language like this.

Also, what's wrong with being an activist? Is it bad to care about things now? What is their activism for? Are they an activist for something bad? If you specify what it is about their activism that's harmful it's much easier for people to understand the concern.

Labour issues, for example, are extremely relevant in video games since labour conditions at game studios frequently contribute to games shipping unfinished or in a bad state, and players actively dislike that. Games press cannot avoid covering labour conditions with how frequently crunch and layoffs harm the quality of shipped games.
The firehose of the internet has been a boon for Putin in this way
The post title feels grammatically off in a way I'm struggling to articulate. I think it's the difference between "declares <object> <adjective>" and "declares that <clause>".

Examples of the former:

- Researchers declare food unhealthy.

- Invaders declare territory theirs.

I think my problem is that the former is used in contexts that are either subjective or abstract, whereas the latter is just and indication that somebody has said something.

When you declare <thing> <attribute>, you are making an assertion with some implicit authority. When you declare that <event has happened>, you are simply making an announcement.
The concept of all three of borders, nations, and sovereignty as you’re using it are relatively recent innovations that haven’t survived for anywhere near as long as, for example, feudalism did as an organizing structure, and just as feudalism died this latest iteration of “my might makes me right” will, eventually, die as well.

If it takes the species with it, so be it.
I agree that it doesn't help to call it evil or invoke the devil. I don't agree that there's not much to improve on.

> the advertisers don't care one bit for the well-being of the consumers, but can you imagine a reality where they would?

Yes. Imagine a reality where we don't have anything like the advertising sector, or myopically extractive industry in general, sidestepping the whole problem.

Failures of imagination seriously constrain the possibility space. Modernity's totalizing tendency ("the end of history", "the best we've ever had it", etc) is a big reason it threatens to self-terminate, I think. History is path-dependent, yes, and for all I know we do live in a block universe, but for practical purposes the future is under-determined.

I can't afford to subscribe to every site starting up. None of them have day/week pass options or the ability to pay to read one story out of their archives, so it's $7/month or nothing. My budget for this isn't going to grow just because subscription sites proliferate.
