The new idea is having 512 bit wide memory instead of PC limitation of 128 bit wide. Normal CPU cores running normal codes are not particularly bandwidth limited. However APUs/iGPUs are severely bandwidth limited, thus the huge number of slow iGPUs that are fine for browsing but terrible for anything more intensive.

So apple manages decent GPU performance, a tiny package, and great battery life. It's much harder on the PC side because every laptop/desktop chip from Intel and AMD use a 128 bit memory bus. You have to take a huge step up in price, power, and size with something like a thread ripper, xeon, or epyc to get more than 128 bit wide memory, none of which are available in a laptop or mac mini size SFF.
4k for videoconferencing is nuts. The new camera should be an improvement over the old. Plus, being able to show your actual, physical desktop can be Andy too. Using your iPhone as the webcam will still probably give you the best quality especially if you are in a lower light situation.
>The long-term side effects of GLP-1 drugs are not well-studied

The long-term effects of diabetes is.
For me, this was the _ONLY_ thing that brought my blood sugar under control.

Even with severe dietary restriction, my blood sugar would be dangerously high first thing in the morning after fasting 12-16hrs.

The 'potential side effects' of the drugs that I was taking was terrifying. And the list of drugs that I was on was so long that even if there was only a 1% chance that I'd catch a side effect from 1% of the drugs then my prospects went down to nil.

I was scheduled for gastric-bypass surgery.

I can modestly say that ozempic probably saved my life.

I've lost ~100lbs (~45kgs) and I can now wear the same size clothes that I wore in high-school which is a nice benefit too.
If they’ve been around that long, what changed to make them suddenly so broadly used?
He breaks it down in this interview, I believe in this section https://youtu.be/KSeraZxSAbQ?t=1350

Ultimately he mentions that being CEO is a rare opportunity to play a more infinite game and practice the craft of getting really good at something that doesn't have an end
Not if you want to keep previous app installations updatable etc. while also having a different app ID.
The ones out of job can join a different company, america’s unemployment rate especially in the tech sector tends to be low.

Them doing layoffs doesnt mean the people become destitute.

It is better to layoff people who are not adding value to a company, so that those newly unemployed folks can join a different company and build great products and add more value to the economy.

Ofcourse this only applies to US tech sector where hiring is tight. Especially when coming out of top tier companies like dropbox on your resume.

I don’t think its that dramatic, folks who tend to hold similar ideologies like you state, tend to not even bat a single eye, when average americans who lack the privilege of a tech worker lose their job to automation (with tech) or outsourcing or due to overburdened climate regulations and redtape leading to fewer factory jobs in America.

This is not the titanic, those people will move on to places where they’ll have a chance for promotion.
Yeah, though I think I read too many Ware comics and burned out on him a little. There's almost a genre of misanthropic confessional comics about emotionally stunted people that blur genre lines. I'm thinking of the work of Ware, Inio Asano's Goodnight Punpun, some Tom Gauld, Dan Clowes, etc. I read a bunch of those types of comics in a row and by the end I was just depressed.

These days I prefer comics that are a little more poignant. I think Taiyo Matsumoto, Emil Ferris, Mariko + Jillian Tamaki, Kate Beaton, even Noah Van Sciver (bleak, but he can laugh himself) all write comics about lonely losers that I find a little less bleak. Still, bleak isn't bad.

I just love comics so much, though. Enough to rant on HackerNews about them.
Wow. Racist framing, much?

I'm a robotics engineer trained back in the 80s, but still working with pretty cutting edge stuff today. It's true that automation poorly thought out can be anti-human, but to assume that it's inherently racist is just raw woke racism at its purest.

Good automation solutions reduce or eliminate mindless, menial drudge work and free up people to things that people are better at than machines - dream, think, and make it happen. And IMO, it will still be a long time before the machines are better than people at those sorts of jobs.

Even our best AIs don't really understand, they just mimic their training set.
No-one claimed that any numbers were made up. Just that this was a very frequent and clear tell.
TIL after hearing the name a gazillion times that it's actually spelled with a "t". Apparently I am not alone...
Yea, that's fair. I'm just being critical of the 'facade' (said with less ire than it sounds). The size is no surprise, in or out. I'll be mildly merciful - not all his doing
Completely depends on what your workflow is.
You claimed that "this" is why you choose a private mode on Strava. But this attack is irrelevant to you. I totally believe you want privacy -- and that's fine -- and Strava provides you a mode that suits your desires.

I'm taking issue with your statement that locating powerful people is somehow a threat model that is relevant to you. It isn't.

> a bad actor watching your profile could infer your movements on Strava (or lack thereof) and use that to break into your home or steal your ride.

Everyone using Strava who thinks this is relevant to their threat model is free to use the hidden address privacy feature, or the myriad other privacy features.

At the end of the day, Strava is an app for sharing your data. You have a lot of options for how much you want to share or limit that sharing. If you don't want to share anything ever, it probably isn't for you.
I'm extremely skeptical about this, I once believed the internet would do something similar and it seems to have done exactly the opposite.
Clearly you missed the change to the background image then.
Please look at your individual situation and don't take this suggestion blindly. If you've already contributed significantly to your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum it can definitely make sense to continue with COBRA.

Also you can game the COBRA enrollment window. You have 60 days from your loss of coverage to elect COBRA and once you elect COBRA you have another 45 days to submit payment. You can elect on the 59th/60th day and then pay 45 days later if you ended up needing the coverage. If you don't need the coverage don't pay.
It's expected Intel-based Macs would lose value quickly considering how much better the M1 models were. This transition was bigger than when they moved from PowerPC to Intel.
It wasnt needless, they didnt want to miss out. They are not sure what they didnt want to miss out on, but they knew for sure that they didnt want to be the only one not doing it.
The use case "let me reassemble all the parts that I have" is out of scope of Brickit app. It works explicitly with the contents of a single scan, that's why you see small ideas to build: it's just what fits into the parts you scanned.

But! We recognize the intent, and we have something in the works which will be released very soon, stay tuned!
> "Less than a week from the election, the economy/inflation/wages is still the top category on which voters say they choose candidates. That outranks abortion/reproductive rights about 2 to 1, with border/immigration the third-biggest concern. Economic issues heavily outranked abortion among men (57% to 21%), women (53-28), Republicans (55-13) and Democrats (55-33)."

Ouch, that bodes ill for the Democratic candidates since they seem focused on other issues. It's been said before (by the Democrats so they should have known better) but it bears saying again: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_the_economy,_stupid
It is interesting they only support 64gb and then jump to 128gb. It seems like a money play since it's $1,000 to upgrade for 128, and if you're running something that needs more than 64 (like LLMs?) you kind of have no choice.
>Why isn’t it never something like the CEO doesn’t get any stocks that year.

Performance based compensation is absolutely standard for CEOs- Both in terms of options and stock grants.
Lolz the M4 max doesn’t get anything more than 128GB ram in the MacBook? Weird
Only if you work on your hobbies.
> Is there a reason why Mozilla haven't used their position and funding to just hoover up all the most successful open source projects to create a more cohesive ecosystem?

How does this support their mission or make them money? They are rich, but also wasteful with their spendings. So anything has to show value for their Mission. And they are having enough projects of their own, just none which are really working well.

> Surely any addons - like uBlock Origin - which have massive usage should just be baked in to the browser by this point?

uBlock works fine on its own. It's probably better for them to be independent.

> The likes of Nextcloud and Mattermost would also be great additions

Nextcloud and Mattermost have both their own company. Do expect Mozilla to buy them out? Or should they just offer a hosted version with their own branding? What would be the value here?

> create a true rival to Microsoft and Google's offerings.

Mozilla has no real income outside of Google paying for a position in their Browser. And the money they have is far too low to compete with those behemoths in that space.
List of plugins affected by WordPress Drama
I'm responding to the person who quoted Steve Jobs by saying Dropbox isn't a product, it's a feature. 17 years is a really long time on the web, and Dropbox has not only been a product, but a successful publicly traded company for most of that time, during which so many other "real" products have risen and fallen. The fact that you subscribe to Google One doesn't tell me anything, except that Google created a product to compete with Dropbox, which is also a product.
I've met the Atmo founders a few times, very nice people and the company seems to be doing well. The tech is definitely getting used, but I think they're working with goverments more than end users
Maybe he should, Meta's main product has peaked in their biggest markets, and his last massive bet went nowhere. He may not be the right person to lead the company at this point.
Javy project seems more active.
Same. I have an M1 Max 64GB. It has great battery life and I never feel myself waiting on anything. Such an amazing computer all around.
No need to be in US to work for US companies, and still get a nice severance package.

Not everyone is looking forward to US working conditions.
Why should there not be, for example, reasoning machines - do we know there is no universal method for reasoning?

Having deeply flawed machines in the sense that they perform their tasks regularly poorly seems like an odd choice to pursue.
Severence is only so they can dodge regulatory scrutiny. They are not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts and was a line-item in the burden category for those employees when they were hired.
IMHO it has a lot to do with in-group dynamics and power. The militancy is feeling part of a group, which becomes part of a person's identity, and resisting attacks on that group-based identity.

The Last thing most people want to do is to admit that they are wrong, and the more you tell them they are wrong, the more entrenched in their belief they will be.
They just posted a list of articles, and said that they were related. What view do you think they have, that these papers support? They haven’t expressed a view as far as I can see…

Maybe you’ve inferred some view based on the names of the titles, but in that case you seem to be falling afoul of your own complaint?
Thank you for pointing out this option. Any idea why the Go stdlib doesn't offer this for Linux and macOS? I'd rather not add compiling other languages to my Go workflow.
I have a slightly different version of this. There are some other replies here to the effect of "people like to have a purpose in life". But surely "helping people share files" or whatever the Dropbox "mission" is can't be that inspiring, right? I mean, the point of starting a company like that is to make those billions. Maybe to do it successfully you need to delude yourself into thinking that mission is really important, I don't know.

But for me, if I had that kind of business success I'd cash out and go do something that feels actually important. Go get a PhD and take a crack at curing some obscure disease, or setting up a Dyson swarm around the sun, or making a great work of art, or thinking about how to improve elementary education a la Khan Academy; something like that. Then you get to have a real purpose and work toward something that most people don't just by virtue of the fact that it doesn't pay well enough, and you still get to spend plenty of time on your yacht!
Hmm, because the cancel CQE will have a reference to the CQE it was supposed to cancel? Yes, that could work.
Yeah, this threw me as well. When the iMac didn’t support WiFi 7, I got a bit worried. I have an M2, so not going to get this, but the spouse needs a new Air and I figure that everything would have WiFi 7 by then, and now I don’t think so.

Feeling productive probably makes them feel good. To me, people generally just want to have a good time, and some would like to be remembered. If "being productive" accomplishes that on a day-to-day basis and gives them hope that they'll be remembered for it, then best of luck and have at it. To me it seems like a narrow and boring way to live but to each their own.
Edit: noticed that HN user kragen has replaced the comment I replied to with a dot, for some reason. This doesn't seem civil to me.

You think it's clear tell that she knew what she was talking about when she wrote "the total amount of energy produced from solar systems in 2019 was thought to be about 500 megawatts".

Similarly you think it's a clear tell that I don't know what I'm talking about when I say that this is an incorrect statement, and that this is a clear tell.

Ben Bejarin said that around 50% of the installed base is still using Macs with Intel chips. You’ll keep hearing that comparison until that number goes down.
My advice is to simply go on Medicaid.

When I was laid off in 2023, my mom and aunt told me to go on Medicaid. I thought it was a bit ridiculous since I had already made well above the poverty line, and was planning on still pulling in a substantial amount in the same year despite the lay off (I was laid off in January). I was going to pay several thousand a month for COBRA, and I thought my mom and aunt were crazy, since they are the sort to claim everyone's using welfare (my aunt retired early and is on medicaid, since her income is zero, so I guess she has some evidence to support her claim).

Anyway, so I did look into it mainly for the 'I told you so' aspect, to 'prove' to her that the social safety net did not exist as she imagined it.

However, to my surprise, it did, and within an hour of filling in the form online, I got free medicaid for my kids, and highly subsidized marketplace plans for my wife and I. In my state, medicaid eligibility is based on expected income / week. According to the man on the line from the state, even if I did end up making more, since my expected income was $0 (being unemployed), I still qualified! My wife's premium / month was like $100 (she was pregnant so qualified for more).

I did tell several colleagues about this, but they didn't believe me and forked over thousands of dollars.

In my state, medicaid is superior to my old PPO plan. For one, there is no co-pay and my daughter ended up needing major orthopedic intervention (severed finger) and we paid $0 out of a total cost of $150k. Although you're assigned a doctor, it's still essentially a PPO plan (you can see whomever you want whenever you wanted, so we stuck with our old doctors).

So, please avail yourself of the very safety net you pay for. COBRA is basically always a bad deal. There is almost certainly a subsidized plan out there for you. There's a pervasive myth that the social safety net doesn't exist in the USA and I almost lost $10k (or more with my daughter's incident) because I didn't do the obvious. I also learned that should I ever want to leave my job to start a business, I honestly really don't need to worry about health insurance.
Docker lays off 10% of its employees
This guy takes "full responsibility," even.
Held responsible for what? The what part is written in contract for execs, movie stars, sport persons. I have not seen in any category people not getting paid per their contract for poor performance.
Achieving the first 20% of solar in an energy mix is relatively easy. Beyond that costs increase 3-5 times per energy unit mainly due to storage.
some politicians: "lets ruin this with some tariffs"!
I find 60Hz on the non-Pro iPhone obnoxious since switching to 120Hz screens. On the other hand, I do not care much about 60Hz when it comes to computer screens. I think touch interfaces make low refresh rates much more noticeable.
One complicating factor in the case of the Intel Macs is that an architectural transition happened after they came out. So they will be able to run less and less new software over the next couple of years, and they lack most AI-enabling hardware acceleration.

That said, they did suffer from some self inflicted hardware limitations, as you hint. One reason I like the MBP is the return of the SD card slot.
That's a fair point, but let's frame that in a resiliency context, where the choice becomes:

* Cheap food most of the time, no food occasionally

* More expensive food most of the time, imported food occasionally

That decision is not one I'm particularly equipped to comment on.
> Would you be OK with your food costs doubling or tripling because it’s local?

Just pointing out that many people, including myself, intentionally buy groceries from farmers' markets and local food co-ops very specifically because we want our food to be local. Others will spend even more time and labor on vegetable gardens for the same reason.

It is unfortunate that the way we offer food production subsidies in many countries primarily benefit large, multinational conglomerates instead of funding healthier, more resilient, and more environmentally friendly local options. It is terrible that only those with means can afford to purchase local foods in many markets, but yes, plenty of us who are able to do so choose to.

Only if everyone is a peasant farmer with the same crops in the same place. My activities are barely related to the height of the sun in the sky, and like the other residents of my city I don't take a ton of notice of harvest time. Bus timetables and cultural festivals are a much bigger deal (of which one in particular is indeed historically related to a harvest).
> The new camera button is kinda nice though.

I was initially indifferent about the camera button, but now that I'm used to it it's actually very useful.
Except that isn't what happens, instead every year a new goal that has to be X % higher is set, and when expectations are not met, the employees are the ones landing on the street for stupid values of X%.

The one signing off on X% might even get a bonus for doing that, and enjoy some Bahamas vacations.
Probably because you don't find a list from the EPA.

The two categories are very similar, they are sort of aimed at the same result but have slightly different criteria. e.g. the EPA considers exposure levels, IARC requires at least some human evidence. So you wouldn't say one is stricter than the other, just different ways of skinning a cat.
The EU likely won’t scrap it, because the CET countries want to stay in a common time zone (no new time zone borders) for economic reasons, but either the very Eastern or very Western ones in that range would object to permanent DST or permanent non-DST, because it would move them too far from the solar day either in winter or summer. It can’t be fixed without one country or another getting the short stick, which means it won’t be fixed.
More specifically, it's a social network for sharing workout data. Sharing data is like, first and foremost what it's about. It has the same privacy controls you'd expect of social networks (public/friends/private both globally and per post/activity) as well as some that are special to a location-sharing app (hidden addresses).

This was either a gap in social media policy set for the guards, or a violation of that policy on the part of the guards.
>New Yorkers don't have a concept of "jaywalking"; it's just "walking."

As a general rule, I watch the cars and not the traffic lights. Mostly because many motorists (and NYC buses are the worst!) often don't pay attention to pedestrians, intersections or traffic lights. In fact, I'm more careful when walking through an intersection than in the middle of the street.
Competition is even more important than size. Only when there are a large number of suppliers at all processing stages will there be a boom in innovation. In China, this applies to both the PV industry and the wind industry.

In the case of PV, a large proportion of the primary products are traded via commodity exchanges. In the case of wind power, 12 manufacturers now offer systems larger than 16 MW.
"bad metaphor in hindsight"

Clever!

But it does make the opposition's point: while many will never acknowledge trouble in hindsight,it's much less common to acknowledge trouble in foresight ;)
Fewer libraries? Any that a normal LLM user would care about? Pytorch, ollama, and others seem to have the normal use cases covered. Whenever I hear about a new LLM seems like the next post is some mac user reporting the token/sec. Often about 5 tokens/sec for 70B models which seems reasonable for a single user.

Maybe so, but if AI gonna take all the jobs then I look forward to it taking the job of actually responding in the negative when they delete your application. Limbo is far worse than rejection
Ah ok, I thought the deal was giving them access to Github data too without the anti scraping stuff. And had this article in mind: https://archive.ph/FvI9G

There used to be this whole contingent of people who were adamant that Apple's software was too opinionated, bloated, that you couldn't adapt its OS to your needs, and that Apple was far too ingrained in your relationship with your device. That Linux was true freedom, but at least that Windows respected its users

Then Windows 11 came out.
