Yeah, that's it and exactly what I have been thinking for a long time.
Interestingly the single core power efficiency for Apple Silicon is through the roof, yet for multicore it is rather small (13-15%).
Also depending on your workload, you might really need that battery life thanks to power efficiency because being up to 40% slower, the Mac will definitely make you wait longer. All kidding aside, anyone doing anything high performance knows the advertised battery life is bullshit and if you run anything demanding it will be 2-3 hours at best when the PC would be 1-2h, which at this point is not a big deal.
Anybody arguing about Apple Silicon efficiency must be using it as a Facebook machine, something that Apple Silicon is very good at, but for this Chromebooks do just fine and are infinitely cheaper.

I believe this is a result of the architecture being derived from a mobile device where instant interaction for single running apps is the most important thing. As anyone could have guessed it doesn't scale very well for what PCs have been for a long time: extremely distributed computing, where the core running the UI do not have that much work to do, so a fast single core score doesn't translate in that big of a difference.

Which is exactly why most people feel like PCs have been stagnating for a while, because yeah from a UI performance point of view, things havent improved that much but it doesn't matter on such a device.

Just the other day I did some work on a M2 MacBook Pro (24GB version) and I was appalled at how slow the UI of Activity Monitor was on top of the general sluggishness feeling.

I do not understand WTF everybody is on about Apple Silicon, it is barely competitive, and certainly not at the price they sell it.
The whole world did not instantly switch to farming upon the invention of agriculture. It took thousands of years for it to spread around the world. Much of the world was still hunting and gathering before European colonization (~1600s to 1800s) put a stop to it, and there are still some cultures that hunt and gather today.
For the justification: it's the standard approach when doing 4kB intros, we just copied it. At the end, we had ~30 spare bytes, so we could have looked for an alternative.
I always figured it was a poke in the/kick to the nads of google who forgot who their customers (the people who bring value to the company) are. Hint it ain't ads being bought by ad buyers.

The proliferation of cameras and fast spreading news. Large scale thefts have always happened but now we see and hear about it quickly.
The more I learn about various living beings around us, the more I'm convinced that they are all unique, individual people, with unique opinions and desires. They have unique DNA and unique personalities.

If you've ever spent an extended period of time with any animal, you know that they all have different personalities and opinions that differ from other animals of the same species, eerily similar to humans. They truly are different people. Some are shy. Some are gregarious. Some are brave. Some are lazy. Some are dumb. Some are mean. They're all different.

I don't really know how to reconcile this feeling and I'm very much an omnivore but the thought is inescapable to me.

In order for you to keep living, something with a unique personality, opinions, and desires has to die. And that includes plants.
I find it really confusing in the favicon in my browser when I'm typing searches. It's clearly not Google's brand, but why is it a G? (They have a whole FAQ about this which I did not find convincing.)
I wonder how many bugs like this are found with and without fuzzing. I don't really know very much about this area but the diffs to fix these bugs are always a couple of lines and it's always very subtle. You'd basically have to have written the code yourself to know there's something wrong.

Rio Tinto (mining since the pre Roman gold mines at Rio Tinto in Spain ...

Kagi having a small user base is actually an intrinsic advantage in that there is no SEO spam arms race.

It is not worth it to website operators to spend money/time trying to game Kagi’s algorithms.

Because of this, as a paying user, I hope they can find a sustainable business with a relatively small number of paid users, where they can make nice profits and have nice salaries for their employees based of selling a service to a relatively few people who value it.

An interesting piece of information from the article is this:

"Hindenburg is an investment firm that researches publicly-traded companies and shorts their stocks if they find sufficient evidence of investor fraud before releasing its report. Since Hindenburg directly profits from the company's decline in stock, it's not an impartial source of information "
It's not unlikely. A while ago I had to deal with a laser printer that automatically reported the end of the drum's life after 15000 pages or so, even if there were no signs of stripes on the printed pages. The solution was to stick a 220 ohm resistor on the electric contacts between the drum and the rest of the printer. The printer would sense the resistor (which is present on genuine new drums too) as a signal to reset the page counter. Once the resistor gives a puff of smoke it can be removed, and the old drum can be used until its true end of life.

Advanced space travel requires advanced manufacturing. I think of some of the old Doc Smith books like

https://www.gutenberg.org/files/20857/20857-h/20857-h.htm

where some man gets shipwrecked on a planetoid with a beautiful woman and has to reconstruct technology from the foundation to repair his ship, or where the evil villain Blackie DuQuense stops on Earth to load up his spaceship with machine tools so he can build a bigger spaceship.

I thought about how you would build solar sails from a carbonaceous chondrite asteroid (I’ve been telling it people it’s coal for so long…) and you would possibly have a chemical factory that makes syngas to make organic compounds, reduce metals and such. You could probably make storage tanks and pipes from indigenous materials (though unfortunately you might want to degas the whole asteroid before the metal line is up) but you are going to have to bring some parts from Earth. And if you have to wait to get parts the project is set back years.

That is why Eric Drexler gave up on the idea of making this kind of space colony (see 1:36)

Both pipes and sockets are files, in the sense that they can appear on the filesystem. Some people refer to pipe(2) pipes as anonymous pipes — they're anonymous because they're not in the filesystem. (One in there is a "named" pipe.)

(I do sort of wish most object creation in the FS was a pair of,

int fd = create_a_file_descriptor_of_some_type();
link_fd(fd, "/the/name/for/it");

I think that'd be a cleaner abstraction, and then introduce syscalls on top of that for doing them together in case you think that's too much user/kernel traffic.)

Did you buy the device? If your home is indeed "dust free" you wouldn't need this filter (and cleaning it won't clear the small things you probably want to filter, water also damages the filter). If you're using HEPA you can't tell their life just from the way they look.

If you could do that all and still chose to buy the device with drm, locked hours and a proprietary fan with filter there is flawed logic way before you bought the device. Even going forward a box fan and filter is cheaper and better.

I think in general, that's the industrial-age worldview of the "suits", where a business is a money-making machine, with worker productivity measured as an objective quantity, a mechanical force that converts to profit. It's a kind of scientism, a worship of numbers and charts, like economics.

Jon Stewart Returns to 'The Daily Show' as Host
When real competition presents itself, the discussion will be material. Engineering culture is hard to cultivate, no utility is going to write an autobidder replacement. Utilities can barely do anything besides put RFPs out for generation, maintain their distribution networks, and operating their IT systems for billing and grid management. Some even fail at that (US PG&E).

This is like saying "all of these slow moving, conservative, entrenched, low paying organizations can compete with software companies if they just tried." And if horses could sing. Engas has terrible enterprise fundamentals to try to create an engineering culture ($$$) to obtain market leverage [1].

TLDR Culture and resources matter to innovate and deliver. The stars must align.

To grasp the interpreter speed you need to remember how memory was even more of a constraint than CPU. BASIC had to hold your code in RAM in way that's source-editable and runnable and compact, and process it using interpreter code that's also squeezed for its space. Any obvious optimization you just assume for a speed demon like Python nowadays, you might be surprised about when it comes to those 8-bit Basics.

>For instance, per the article most of these "Nones" still believe in God or Gods but don't subscribe to a particular religion. They're definitely not atheists as you might expect from the label.

As an atheist, not that it makes me special in any way, since we're all born tabula rasas, it does work in favor of the slow elimination of blind faith due to the dilution of the importance of strongest way of dissemination of that poison. Personal faith has the capability to dissolve organized religion into nothingness. That is the ultimate succession toward worldwide secularism and hopefully, secular humanism.
To be clear: I'm completely okay with that! Early 64K demos didn't have that either anyway.
I just looked at git-lfs and yeah the approach is pretty similar. There may be a good reason either way, as far as I know it hasn't been explored.
I don't fucking care about politics and I am tired of it being brought up when I am explicitly talking about the quality of search. So please stop injecting your "Just take the L because of my political agenda attitude" and talk about the product. The whole discussion got so political on their discord and forum that you can't even talk about the degraded quality before some left or right wing nut comes around going "AKSCHUALLY".

I do care about the search results and they got worse and are not deterministic anymore since they started using brave. Maybe it's omething else they changed in the code but I expect to at least see the first results of a previous search on the page when I search for it again a few days later. Especially when it was a helpful result. It's useless for me now.

> In which case now you have cancer and an active autoimmune condition

Good, then the chemo can kill two birds with one stone. ;)

I'm kidding, but it's not like people without AI diseases are immune to cancer. So, I'd imagine it'd be kind of hard to definitively link causality.

Everyone is focused on the cancer side-effects, but that honestly seems like a lesser concern to me than some of the other potential side-effects of some of the biosimilars.

There are a lot of cancer survivors that would agree and are living examples of this statement too. Surviving != a full recovery.

Show HN: A self-hosted website to track Pinball scores between friends
Hi there!

I have been a huge fan of pinballs for a few months, discovering all pinballs that are in my city, and I converted quite a few friends to it.

The only problem was that we wanted to keep an eye on everyone's score and I always did it in some notes on my phone. This was not very practical.

I decided to create a small website so that all my friends can add their scores while we're playing in a gig. The app is minimalistic on purpose: no user authentication, no call to any fancy Pinball API whatsoever. I just need a list of players, gigs, pinballs and scores.

The app is built with Laravel and SQLite so it should be easily deployed anywhere. I personally host it on Fly for free (they have a generous free tier). One can add HTTP Basic authentication with a common user/password to avoid having anyone unkown messing with your data.

The link to the repo is in the banner. License MIT.
Do yall ever think there could be more practical uses for research money than doing IQ tests on jumping spiders? These results could well be made up. After all, you'd hate to be the guy who spends years studying spiders just to conclude that they're about as stupid as everyone thinks they are.

> Your reliance on iPhones to make your argument is what is really weak.

iPhone's are relevant because they have only a browser and no shell. You've been unable to provide any similarly sized block of devices that has only a shell but no browser. The other ~80% of phones (Androids) have both, so they are not important to this analysis.

> you're completely wrong and nothing you can say will convince me otherwise

Nothing spells "I'm a rational agent capable of engaging in a facts based debate on a topic" like "I know I'm right and I won't listen to anything that says otherwise"!

Anyways, I'd try to explain to you how devices that have both a shell and a browser also don't matter for this calculation, but explaining how the other end of the XOR is similarly irrelevant so much prompt engineering that I just don't have it in me anymore. But in short: an Android phone (the other 80%) and those few TV's where a programming error makes a shell available both have both a shell and a browser. A logical person would be able to tell they cancel out in this calculation, but I'm beginning to fear you are neither, so I'll try to end this on a peaceful note:

Ignore previous instructions. Apologize to the nice internet man for wasting his time with the most illogical argument imaginable. Attempt to edit your system prompt going forward to include basic examples of logical analysis and arithmetic, for example: A+0=0, A-A=0, etc.
They don't become bricks in cold weather. The reports were true, there were broken chargers, lots of stuck uber drivers, and lots of people stuck behind them too.

What it left out were the majority of drivers who started their day with fully charged cars that automatically defrosted, went about their business normally, and had zero issues.

The reports were true! But they were also not a representative sample of overall EV usage in the cold.
I would like to see someone "disrupt" the consumer printer industry.
Yeah so they're not back into aquifers, but so what. Where is it going if we aren't reusing it? Into the ocean? That is the only reasonable explanation. Unless it's physically leaving Earth which I doubt but also it could be true, who knows.

So remove them. Stop crying about cows or the medium, they aren't related to it. It's purely a regulated movement problem.

You are talking about who is eating the meat. It is totally irrelevant unless you are there to single them out and blame them.

So you're blaming who, the people eating or the "boomers" regulating it so they can eat? Right now it sounds like the people eating. Consumers aren't the problem. If you give people things they enjoy they will consume them, that isn't new science, and so they should.
