If you look at the specs of the regular, Pro and Max chips on the M1 and M3 generations, it's easier to see M1 Pro as a sort of "Max Lite" chip. You got identical CPU core counts on both the Pro and Max variants in the M1 and M2 generations, but that's no longer true with the M3.

Apple seems to have realized that people with only CPU heavy workloads won't buy the Max variant, so it seems to me they've weakened the Pro line on the M3 to push more people toward the Max.

If I remember well Outlook (or was it Outlook express?) used to do something very similar (speaking of 15 years ago or so), except it was infecting your local PC instead of the web server.
It is believed that we evolved to taste bitterness because a lot of natural poisons are bitter. When people say something is an acquired taste, they are almost always referring to something bitter.

In many cultures bitter things are commonly eaten so people get past it even in childhood but in ones where they aren’t (like America) you find many adults who don’t enjoy bitter tastes.
So if you share a binary with a friend you'd have to have them install cuda toolkit too?

The M1 is three years old but some people don't remember/realize the M1 Pro came much later.
Data around cars is notoriously complete bullshit. One example is that one of the main metrics used by a very big name, maybe CR, is “reliability compared to *expectations*”. Obviously cars that people have high expectations for (Teslas) are going to score horribly here even if they are objectively more reliable than other brands. And of course they bury this little fact way down in the info and everyone walks away with “welp teslas just fucking break all the time”
Wake turbulence is mostly a concern for small planes following large planes. In the right conditions (pilots visually maintaining separation), planes do get quite close and at many airports like SFO, it's the only way to accommodate all the scheduled flights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLCcxCdrL5w
Hmmm. Neat, but I wonder whether it’s going to get pretty repetitive once you know a few key bottlenecks (eg the countries of Central America).
* I'm stressed from working at a game studio --> but no one will die

* I'm stressed from working on avionics or medical software, or designing bridges/etc --> someone may die if I make a mistake

* I'm stressed from working as a firefighter or police officer --> someone (or myself) may die even if I don't make any mistakes
I hope folks understand what this means - there will be an IEEE standard that makes using Wi-Fi sensing, to some degree, hardware agnostic and thereby drives it into mainstream.

You know I've been thinking about this for a while, I honestly don't think LLMs will ever be the right choice for a coding assistant. Where I've had a strange idea they could help, although it's completely unproven yet, is replacing what we traditionally think of as a developer and code. I'm envisioning, for simple application, a completely non-technical person have a conversation with a coding assistant and it something directly executable, think the tokens it outputs are JVM bytecode or something similar. I'm sure there's innumerable flaws with my thinking/approach but so far, it's been fun to think and code around.
Damn I guess Freud was right, you can fix almost anything with Cocaine!
Also some markets just aren't worth it to large companies, and a start up dominating a small market is still a very heathy company.
> We can only speculate why the cores are used differently depending on the DAW. Since even Apple’s own DAW Logic performs worse with M3 Pro, the question arises as to whether it is due to the software itself or the operating system. However, this test is a clear indication for anyone who is still considering Apple’s new systems to take a closer look when making a purchase.

I didn't get an answer to the main question I had (sounds like they don't have one yet): is this because the DAW software has been optimized for M1 but not M3, and once they update it these scores will change?

It's cheaper. Many fonts require ongoing licensing fees based on views or some other metric. Creating your own font means you own it — no more fees.

Everything procedural in nature essentially reflects the design philosophy of the creator: that's a fundamental restriction on the Holodeck. The generative approach is actually creatively less productive than a chaos function, because chaos is known to produce interesting long-run patterns, while generative acts more like an interpolation on existing patterns.

I gave up a long time ago on anything coming from Consumer Reports because by and large, as the name truly indicates, the data comes from .. consumer reports. Not actual data, but surveys of people's thoughts.

If, for instance, I wanted to judge how reliable a brand of car is, I would want the data: how often they have major failures, how many miles they can go between major service issues, how many are still on the road etc., the actual data about reliability. However, the only data that consumer reports usually uses is what random polled people THINK about the reliability of the brand.

Even worse, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. They publish reports saying, for example, brand X is the most reliable brand of truck. People read those articles, and it influences their belief of which brand of truck is most reliable. Then Consumer Reports ask them next year what brand of truck they think is most reliable, and now they're more likely to say brand X, and so it's published that brand X is still the most reliable. Its an ouroboros with no actual data underneath it all.
To what extent have the problems in the book been addressed since 1994?
Well, and maybe some talk about Wayland.
Yeah, the changes they made to the M3 Pro were all about making it a less attractive option for people with CPU-heavy workloads who didn’t need/want the GPU horsepower. Unfortunately, it seems that in order to chase this product stratification goal, they actually made the newest generation chip perform worse than the previous generations.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m in the same boat as you wrt skepticism about motivations, but there is a plausible explanation for how this kind of situation could come about.

Performance of Llama.cpp on Apple Silicon
Yes but Germany was run by a partly insane gambler whose entire personal purpose in life was welded to going for broke on his big military ambition. One assumes with plenty of good reasons across 23 years of his rule that modern Putin doesn't have the same mentality, that he's generally more the calculating Stalin type at worst.

In WWI Germany made a similar mistake to what it did in WWII but the dynamics of the situation made its Imperial leadership "feel obligated" to war, bolstered by them really thinking victory was reasonably possible, as terribly wrong as they were. Hitler and his coterie on the other hand knew at the outset that victory was extremely unlikely (they after all had the previous experience of WWI hindsight to look to, which the Kaiser and his general staff did not), but the Nazi leader didn't care anyhow. He was willing to bet everything on the small window of possibility that did favor spectacular victory.

The overall lesson of both wars still remains that barring extreme luck which ends a war victoriously for the smaller aggressor after only a brief series of strategic surprise attacks (you're right in what you say about a smaller power achieving much through surprise), the eventual result of any prolonged war between dramatically imbalanced economic powers will be the crushing defeat of the weaker power IF its the aggressor. Once both Germany and Japan failed in their strategic surprise gambits, they were absolutely doomed. Russia would be too if it did the same. Now even more so because it already spoiled any possible surprise against NATO by attacking Ukraine, and partly failing even at that.

I mention the requisite of the weaker power being the aggressor because in cases where it's simply defending itself, victory against a much bigger power is possible even in a prolonged war if the smaller country is determined enough despite horrific costs to keep bleeding its large enemy into making further fighting not worthwhile. Afghanistan and Vietnam being great examples.
No, they're not, not really. At least not in the US anyway.

In Q3 this year, Nissan is in 10th place, with 6000 EV's sold: https://caredge.com/guides/electric-vehicle-market-share-and...

If you look at numbers from a couple years ago compared to now, most of the other manufacturers are way up, whereas Nissan almost looks like they've already plateaued.

Wow. I had HNSCC years ago, had surgery, had it recur a couple years later (same region so I think they didn't get it all the first time), had surgery, had it recur yet again five years later (again same region), had more surgery. (And radiation and a "radiosensitizer" drug.)

I'm now 7 years out from the last time, with no sign of trouble, so my odds are good.

I'm hearted to see a positive development like this.

Well there is nothing saying you can't put relational data in json format.
It wasn't mainly that money got thrown at research. It was mainly that several generations of researchers were funneled into a singular mission, fueled by patriotism / ideology / propaganda.

A JFK speech calling the nation to adventure + a blank cheque to your org + Walter Cronkite on tv & your nephew at school calling you a hero researcher can get a lot of basic science done.

Is that basic science better aimed at a moon landing or better aimed at stopping people from dying from colorectal cancer?

A moon landing is inspirational (and theoretically achievable) whereas stopping colorectal cancer is a big abstract "maybe".

A moon landing gets you "don't mess with us because we have amazing rockets & targeting systems" cred.

A "we can now save millions of our citizens from this one cancer" gets you "our capitalist society is more advanced than your communist society" cred.

I'm not saying Moon Landing wasn't the obvious choice or wasn't the right choice. I'm saying it wasn't as generally valuable as other choices.
And generally no consumer protection, so you can milk the marks out of more money than you can in Europe.

Neat game, but I wish so many of them popping up these days wouldn't just try to blindly copy the "one game a day" formula.

Probably I would as well.

Wrong article
that Church organ delay is very much an artefact of the speed of sound travel time: the pipes sound half the cathedral away from the organist. In some churches this is made even worse because there is a conduit across the top of the vaulted space injecting sound into the other end directly, so then you get both a direct wave and a diminished one with a massive delay.

Super confusing, the best way to deal with it is to just put on headphones and only listen to the direct sound.

Not so much the author's fault, but there's a bit of confusing terminology around the meaning of "pool" in memory allocator literature in general, and this article in particular.

In this article, they say:

> Pools ... involve: pre-allocating ... core resources that are frequently used in a program, which are self-managed by the program ...

This (IME) most often means some sort of "object pool," with fixed-size objects and O(1) allocation and de-allocation.

And also:

> a memory pool pre-allocates a large block of memory ... When the programmer releases the memory, it is returned to the pool ... and is merged with surrounding free memory blocks as much as possible.

This clearly is not referring to the object pool concept.
In the article, the O(1) freelist approach falls under the "bins" nomenclature.

In general, memory allocator terminology is pretty messy, varying between sources and implementations. Words like "arena allocator" and "stack allocator" seem frequently abused/blurred, made worse by the fact that one can nest allocators in each other — eg: a stack allocator which allocates from an arena, but sometimes referred to one or the other interchangeably.

I had a bit of a rollercoaster ride trying to make heads and tails of it all when I was researching these things.

Go ahead and copy bitcoin and see if it gets you anywhere (thousands have already tried).

What makes bitcoin valuable, other than having by far the best fundamental monetary qualities mankind has ever seen (and almost certainly will ever see), is its network effect. In order compete with bitcoin, an alternative would need to be significantly better.

We had wars before the discovery of oil-as-a-resource, we have had wars well after the discovery of oil-as-a-resource. Arguably most wars were not caused directly or indirectly by use of oil-as-a-resource. However, some wars have directly or indirectly been about oil. New kinds of war have been made possible by oil.

Again: war existed before the invention of the printing press, and war existed after the invention of the printing press. Arguably most wars were not caused directly or indirectly by the printing press. The use of military hierarchy in warfare predates the printing press.

However, in some wars, the cause can be lead back to the use of the printing press, directly or indirectly. And some new forms of warfare are made possible by the printing press.

While we can argue how essential a printing press is to the tenets of Protestantism, it is inarguable that the spread of the protestant faith was greatly accelerated by the ability to print pamphlets and disseminate the writings of Martin Luther and other reformers. Protestantism's concept of 'Sola scriptura' also required the translation of the bible into people's local language, and the dissemination of a large number of these translated bibles. Without the printing press this would have been rather tricky.

Of course, as a later consequence, the Protestant Reformation then sparked several wars between the new Protestant faith and the Catholics who considered them to be heretics.

(Eg the formation of the Netherlands: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighty_Years%27_War -- The lead-up: "Charles [V] aspired to counter the Protestant Reformation and keep all his subjects obedient to the Catholic Church." )
I always get my oil at Costco at 6 quarts for less than $30. I figured mechanic shops are surely buying for less. And oil filters are usually less than $10 for the cheap ones, and maybe $15 for the high end ones. I assume auto shops probably use the cheaper ones. Actually, the reason I do my own oil change is because I can trust Costco/Autozone to sell me good quality oil and oil filter, whereas I don't know what a mechanic would put in, and it only takes me 30min.

https://www.costco.com/mobil-1-advanced-fuel-economy-full-sy...

I just looked up a local mechanic's website, and they advertise $35 for synthetic blend oil change, and $65 for full synthetic blend oil change (most non european cars). I wonder if they price it to be at cost or even a loss leader.
The Greeks made a sort of "toy" that spins when a fire boiled water. It's almost a shame that no one took it a step further. Imagine ancient Greece and Rome entering a steam age in the 1st or 2nd century.

Absolutely it's not a simple ask. But research in program synthesis was making interesting progress before LLMs came along. I think it would be better to ask how ML can improve or speed up those efforts, rather than trying to make a general ML model "solve" such a complex problem as a special case.

A step in this direction, which I've been trying to figure out as a side project, and which I would love someone to scoop me on and build a real thing, is to stitch an ML model into into a (mini)kanren. Minikanren folk have built relational interpreters for small languages but not for a "real" industrial language (so far as I'm aware). These small relational interpreters can generate programs given a set of relational statements about them (e.g. "find f so that f(x1) == y1, f(x2) == y2, ..."). Because they're actually examining the full universe of programs in their small language, they will eventually find all programs that satisfy the constraints. But their search is in an order that's given by the structure/definition of the interpreter, and so for complex sets of requirements, finding the _first_ satisfying example can be unacceptably slow. But what if the search were based on the softmaxed outputs of an ML model, and you do a least cost search? Then (roughly) in the case that beam-search generation from the ML model would have produced a valid answer, you still find it in roughly the same time, but you _know_ it's valid. In the case where a valid answer requires that in a small number of key places, we have to take a choice that the model assigns low probability, then we'll find it but it takes longer. And in the case that all the choices needed to construct a valid answer are low-probability under the model, then we're basically in the same place that the vanilla minikanren search was.
