When I got my M2 Macbook Air in 2022 I had a choice between 8 and 10 GPU cores. I always assumed the 8 core ones were binned 10-core units, too.
I don't know, but I looked at that code and made a userscript and that works. I am glad that it is there because I don't like to use the different style for each one

Colorado producing less food is probably from market conditions and not urbanism. Like just consider the land area here. Sure denver is sprawly suburbia but what percent is that really of the massive swath of farmland that is all of colorado east of the front range? Its got to be in the single percent range just eyeballing it on google maps. And farm yields have absolutely soared over the last 100 years so fewer farms are needed to produce the same food.
Regardless of the specific case of the laptop, it is beyond naive to think that every incidence of corruption that is known about is pursued in court.

Even non-political figures who are known to be corrupt will not be prosecuted or pursued because of the difficulty of securing a conviction or simply priorities and limited resources.

When it comes to people to with powerful political connections, you are talking a different level of 'difficulty pursing this case'.

To be honest, the dynamics change completely when you are not in-need of work. What is a matter of ensuring one's livelihood quickly transforms to a friendly conversation with potential colleagues. The stress of finding a job is replaced by novelty and curiosity, by opportunity for something new.

"Proactive Serendipity" [1] is a great way to live by in my opinion. In essence, you should put yourself in the position to get lucky. Not interviewing or at least not being open to interviewing is an easy way to close doors that you may not know existed.

There are AI-based games on their store. Not many, but they exist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1889620/AI_Roguelite/

If you can manage to monetize a game that relies on OpenAI, I don't see why it couldn't be made available on Steam. I also don't see why going "all-in" on those experiences would ruin the experience for everyone else; that's the industry's decision to make, Valve doesn't really make games anymore.
The MacBook Air with M2 is already sold with either 8 or 10 GPU cores. Having an iPad Air with M2 use 9 GPU cores is completely unsurprising and unremarkable. The only thing noteworthy here is the mistakes in the spec sheet and press release.

Who buys iPads anyway? I have two and I regret it. Totally useless iPadOS, built entirely around Apple's ecosystem (Magic Mouse and Keeb), so much compute power restricted by a greedy company that is worried about their MacBook sales in case iPad becomes a real computing device.

I have another take on this dispute. We permit copyright because we reckoned it incentivizes a social good. AI is a bigger social good. An additional condition of copyright should be to submit your text to the pool of text available to AI. AI is that important, that revolutionary, that beneficial.
I wonder to what degree people are actually experiencing this.

I'm on a 5-year old intel Macbook, and I think in my daily experience, core software (browsers, emacs, keynote, music) are pretty snappy.

I do routinely work with some extremely frustratingly slow software, but it's pretty stark how much its performance stands out as, well... exceptionally bad.

Seems to me like Microsoft probably sees Recall as

a. A way to capture more personal data and sell it to advertisers, or

b. A way to make Windows even more attractive to enterprise customers so that managers can snoop on employees, or

c. A handy feature that most users will want.

What Microsoft is saying publicly is c, which in itself is a red flag that suggests it's probably not true. The other red flag is that even as tone-deaf as Microsoft is about user wants and desires, even they can't be stupid enough to believe most users want this. So it's gotta be a or b or both.
UI lag is a problem, for sure -- and so are some of the dynamic layouts that are meant to "solve" it[1].

One thing I've noticed lately is mouse lag. Like, say, in Ye Olde Start Menu on Windows: Move the mouse to the Start menu, and press the mouse button down. Nothing happens. Release the button, and then: Something happens.

The menu is triggered on button-up events, not button-down events. This adds a measurable delay to every interaction.

Same with Chrome when clicking on a link: Nothing happens until the button is released. This adds a delay.

I mean: Go ahead and try it right now. I'll wait.

And sure, it might be a small delay: After all, it can't be more than a few milliseconds per click, right[2]? But even though the delay is small, it is something that is immediately obvious when opening the "Applications" menu in XFCE 4, wherein: The menu appears seemingly-instantly when the mouse button is first pushed down.

[1]: It took me more than three tries to pick a streaming device from Plex on my phone yesterday. I'd press the "cast" button, and a dynamic list of candidate devices would show up. I'd try to select the appropriate candidate and before my thumb could move the fraction of an inch to push the button, the list had changed as more candidate devices were discovered -- so the wrong device was selected.

So I then had to dismantle the stream that I'd just started on the wrong device, and try (and fail) again.

[2]: But even small delays add up. Let's say this seemingly-unoptimized mouse operation costs an average of 3ms per click. And that 100 million people experience this delay, 100 times each, per day.

That's nearly an entire year (347 days) of lost human time for the group per day, or 347 years lost per year.

Which is 4.4 human lifetimes, per year that are lost within the group of 100 million, just because we're doing mouse events lazily.
The original post was about natural entropy on the internet. Websites from 2005 that have disappeared or been redesigned so that you can't find their old content anymore, and the uselessness of search engines, domestic or foreign, for date range queries reaching that far back into the past. Even on the Internet Archive, the earliest working snapshot of Baidu Tieba is from 2006.

You may think that it's impossible for an innocuous post to get censored unless it has inadvertently unmasked a conspiracy to bury the past, but censorship decisions also get made to prevent unwanted reactions. If a post about disappearing content inspires people to complain about censorship, that's enough to suppress it.

If the disappearance of old websites were entirely deliberate, you'd also need to explain why the West is in on it.
A book is a huge amount to write and will probably be outdated in a few years. Generally speaking, blogs probably have a lot more bang for the buck than most books. (Yes, there are exceptions and books/big reports have a certain "thunk factor" and perhaps outsized halo effect than blogs but I'm skeptical as someone who has done a bunch of both.)
if the message never achieved a physical form such as printing, does the message exist?

The variant with the 8-core GPU is most likely also a binned version of the 10-core GPU variant. It's a lot easier to enable/disable cores than to produce different silicon for minor spec differences.

It may be that Apple's yield of 10-core GPUs is lower than expected, but those GPUs validate just fine with 9 cores enabled. Or maybe Apple had another marketing reason, such as further differentiating the iPad Pro.
I mean, you can have faith in whatever you want, but if you read to the end of the article the mathematicians themselves are the ones saying the conditions seem more to agree with the scenario where they won't.

> I'm sorry, I miss things nowadays, but I don't see where the post states that the message is still available.

I put it in super scare quotes for a reason, because it depends on what you mean by "message".

But the text is still on the screen. That's why you can copy it.

> If it is, that's probably a desync issue, like others have said. Still not particularly mysterious or ontologically interesting. So much of parallel and distributed programming is about solving desync problems.

If it's just a desync, then it could resync things if it wanted to. Instead it gives a confusing and contradictory warning.

The way the warning contradicts itself is pretty interesting, and I and the author think it's fun to delve into how the word "message" is supposed to be defined here, and how it's causing problems.

But it's not simply a reference to a thing that's gone. It's not actually gone yet. It's a ghost.

While preloading would obviously solve pretty much everything and make all execution trivially deterministic: how is forcing all input-reading to provide an offset not referentially transparent? Particularly when all input is done this way, since e.g. checking the current time is I/O and would need to pass last-result values around to maintain its "state" as well.

In my experience, post-COVID they’ve given up even maintaining that illusion.

The Colorado example is about no longer giving out carrots rather than using any type of stick. Tolls and higher taxes would be examples of sticks.

> clogging the roads

The roads already be clogged and adding more lanes is not likely to unclog them. Single occupancy vehicles at the end of the day are not a solution for moving hundreds of thousands of people around - there's an intrinsic scaling problem that can't be solved by building infinite roads.

It's kinda like trying to get high speed internet by adding more & more 56k modems.
First, when someone uses "many" and "most", it indicates they are avoiding "a black and white view," by acknowledging there are some exceptions.

As to the main point, no individual has the right to take someone else's intellectual property (such as songs, movies, books, etc that were often created by large teams of people over months or years) and, without asking any permission, "liberate" that content so that it can be freely copied and consumed by virtually anyone, anywhere, around the world, without recognition or attribution.

The question isn't whether distribution of the work ultimately does or does not benefit the creator(s), which it often does. It's that the "pirate" has no right to independently make the irreversible decision to freely distribute the content.
I have seen far more problems caused by premature or over-use of DRY than the opposite.

Undoing an abstraction is always far more difficult than the pains caused by not having one in the first place.
They don't know how, that's the entire problem. Six months in a crappy boot camp doesn't teach you a single thing about computers qua computers. The industry has been suffering with mediocrity for so long, that even today's managers don't know what performant software looks like. But as long as people get paid, nobody cares. It's depressing as all hell.
You are assuming infrastructure costs would be the same for a 10x denser population. I’ve read articles where even on a per capita basis just about everything is more costly in dense cities, from sewers to schools. It would take some careful scrutiny to identify what is actually optimal, and I expect that to depend heavily on the local economy. For example maybe the fact that the lima peru skyline looks like lima peru and the san jose usa skyline looks like san jose usa is as simple as being due to the cost of labor and materials and what best pencils out. Of course we won’t know the answer to that experiment without removing zoning limits on density and seeing how the market responds over decades.
The comparison posted may be true, but on some level it doesn't make sense. It's like this old awk-vs-hadoop post https://adamdrake.com/command-line-tools-can-be-235x-faster-...

Yes, a very specific implementation will be faster than a generic system which includes network delays and ensures you can handle things larger than your memory in a multi-client system. But the result is meaningless - perl or awk will also be faster here.

If you need a database system, you're not going to replace it with K, if you need super fast in-memory calculations, you're not going to use a database system. Apples and oranges.

US' grip on advanced cpu tech is weakening anyway. Long-term, RISC-V is bound to take a hefty bite out of x86 & ARM market share no matter what.

Highest-performance AI accelerators (like Nvidia's latest), IP for high(est)-performing cores, and machines to manufacture those on the most advanced semiconductor nodes (see: ASML) is where it's at.

Given that, fuzzing over ISAs is mostly pointless noise imho.
I wonder how much the loyalty of the "good old days" was due to a smaller local labor market for skilled jobs.

Let's say that you are a doctor and you live in a town of 20,000 people with one hospital. You are stuck being "loyal" to that hospital unless you move. Now let's say that you live in a metropolis of 2 million people and multiple hospitals. That gives you the option to move between jobs if they become available.

My impression is that cities and towns used to be smaller in the past and commuter culture wasn't as popular as it is now.

I'm ok looking at the past with rose-tinted glasses, but context is also needed to understand the decisions that people made back then.

All very logical.
I am not so sure of that. Apple does seem like the kind of company that would create an entirely new SKU just for improving margins in a certain product. It all helps differentiating the iPad models.
I have one, actually, from my grandpa's generation. He told another family member about his time growing up in the early 1900s, riding trolleys and eating Walnettos (a strange Walnut-based candy bar). Then the Spanish Flu came around and the eldest sister just died at the breakfast table one day. Later, the family rallied together to care for each other after his father lost his job due to automation. He moved on to doing odd jobs, then later fell off the roof and broke his back, ending up as an invalid for the rest of his days. They talked about the cherry trees they used to feed themselves, which explains grandma's fondness for the cherry soup I hated so much, and how my grandma and grandpa got married and took care of great grandpa while he was invalid.

They also talked about how Wonder Bread (the original sliced bread and origin of the phrase "best thing since sliced bread") came into town and the eldest son went to work for them to support the family after the local baker he had worked for folded, lost a finger to the machinery. At some point, he had some kind of heated dispute at work due to this, was beaten by security, and as I'm told, died from injuries sustained during that beating some time afterwards.

It was a weird little window into bits of family history that would have otherwise been erased.
Well. That sucks. :-(

Traditional benefit plans that were basically worthless unless you stayed in the same place for a minimum of a decade are mostly worthless today. But there are apparently a lot of newer-style defined benefit plans that are more flexible.

>Does a failed rollback mean (logically) that the transaction is still open and uncommitted?

Yes, it means exactly that until something else manages to close the transaction.

Generally that's done by noticing that the connection has failed, or a timeout has expired, assuming "roll back unless confirmed" is the default behavior (usually true, but not always).

The reason you might want to explicitly tell something to roll back is to shorten ^ that latency, or to wait for it to complete before doing something else that requires it to be gone.

Fair. I haven't used AI tools much. My understanding of hallucinations were the context typically matches the input, but details are wrong and the AI claims it's correct.

In this case, the input "pictures from a UFO festival and a Dad joke" have absolutely nothing to do with the summary: dinner plans for 8pm, Zach and Melanie's summer vacation trip to NYC, etc. so it sure felt like it was accessing another user's text messages. But as a developer, I also know it's possible it's mock data. Or as people here pointed out it may be simple hallucination and my understanding of that concept is not correct.
Eh. I really don’t think it takes that much to get into the swing of interviews. Developers sometimes suffer with them because our jobs make it easy to be introverted and avoid personal contact. As long as you’re regularly using your social “muscle” at work (which is always always a good career move no matter what) applying that same energy to an interview isn’t such a huge lift.

Every time you decide to delay a trip during rush-hour, because of rush-hour - that is an example of what you are describing.

As an example, in Bellevue, Washington - the evening rush hour starts (and is really bad) at 3pm - there are that many people leaving work progressively earlier that there is still a rush hour of people leaving work early to avoid the big rush-hour.

You can only optimize at your current level of abstraction. Writing JavaScript? Have fun, there's a floor to your performance, because you're on the 28th floor of the abstraction skyscraper, and you can only go up. Part of the issue is that developers don't know any better, the other part is that everyone suddenly decided that four virtual machines crammed inside each other like a matryoshka doll is the only valid way to write software anymore.

As someone who lives in Colorado I avoid Denver because of its traffic.

Denver isn't the only city on I-25. Forget Denver, I-25 is increasingly more congested because the population and trade in Colorado is increasing.

Politicians myopically prioritizing Denver while forgetting Colorado are colloquially referred to by locals as the "State of Denver".
Also you learn more stuff by working at different companies. Every place does things differently. Good to cross pollinate.
