We got it in unreliable/unordered and it still barely moves the needle on network perf over websockets from what we see in north america connecting to another server in north america
I would say WebRTC is both a must and only worth it if you need UDP, such as in the case of real-time video.
Leopold Aschenbrenner starting to sound more and more prescient, eh?
I was talking to an engineer who has a worked on a few majority buildings in NYC, SF. His take was it was mostly regulations slowing things down. Not that the regulations were overly onerous, but rather NIMBYs leverage the regulations to fight the projects every possible step of the way.

Before even breaking ground, the environmental assessments would take years and close to $1M. Relatively straightforward assessments are contested by people who don't want it built, and current regulations force builders to come to yet another hearing, respond, then wait for a response, then another hearing for a decision.

If they win, then the NIMBY files a lawsuit contesting the environmental hearing's decision.

This is a reason why people selling fixer-uppers in SF charge way more if they have approved permits for it. The time and money spent can easily be >$100,000.
Apple’s upgraded are famously expensive, it’s how they get their giant margins. As an Apple enthusiast, yeah it sucks.

Anyway, they made an Ultra version of the M1 and M2 that was even better than the Max versions by having significantly more cores.

If they do that again (Mac Pro?) it will be one hell of a chip.
Not everything on PubMed weights the same. As others have said, this is just a summary article by the Best seller author Nina Teicholz. Not only she's heavily sponsored by the Meat Industry (and I'm not vegan), but her best selling book title is "The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet", yet in the article she declares "The author receives modest royalties on a book on the history of dietary fat recommendations and otherwise declares no conflicts of interest"...
The only situation I've run into that is a bit of a mess is trying to reconcile loading a React dashboard chart thingy (https://tremor.so) in a Rails web app where I'm using Turbo Drive to mediate page transitions—and that just required some careful reading of the documentation to reconcile.
What if I told you that the rest of the context was about custom cores.
You’d think they were breaking a law or something, recommending unnecessary medical procedures.

I have the M1 Air, too. I just plug in to a nice big Thunderbolt display when I need more screen!

I'll likely upgrade to the M4 Air when it comes out. The M4 MacBook Pro is tempting, but I value portability and they're just so chunky and heavy compared to the Air.
I wouldn't expect a big improvement in average performance but the long tail of high latency cases should be improved by avoiding head-of-line blocking. Also peer-to-peer should be an improvement over client-server-client in some situations. Not for battle royale though I guess.

Edit: Very cool game! I love instant loading web games and yours seems very polished and fun to play. Has the web version been profitable, or is most of your revenue from the app stores? I wish I better understood the reasons web games (reportedly) struggle to monetize.

Please, this is just revisionism. There’s nothing inherent to AlexNet that relied on NVIDIA hardware or even software. It was just what happened to be available and most straightforward at the time.

To say it wouldn’t have been possible on AMD is ludicrous and there is a pattern to your comments where you dismiss any other companies efforts or capabilities, but are quite happy to lay all the laurels on NVIDIA.

The reality is that multiple companies and individuals got us to where we are, and multiple products could have done the same. That's not to take away from NVIDIA's success, it's well earned, but if you took them out of the equation, there's nothing that would have prevented the tech existing.
> The first transformer models didn’t even use CUDA and CUDA didn’t have mass ecosystem inroads till years later.

I graduated college in 2010 and I took a class taught in CUDA before graduating. CUDA was a primary driver of NN research at the time. Sure, other tools were available, but CUDA allowed people to build and distribute actually useful software which further encouraged the space.

Could things have happened without it? Yeah, for sure, but it would have taken a good deal longer.

The other problem is that irregular sleep may correlate with lower income, which correlates with a lot of things that lower life expectancy.
Most people have to wake up at a fixed time for work and school their entire lives. I don't think that's what sleep hinges on, else everyone would have good regularity and we'd take it for granted.

It's your behavior and attitude towards going to bed.

No? That is an evolved adaption to a world with adversaries and a need to survive.
The entire point of my solution is to prevent another HK situation. It's quite likely it still wouldn't work (deep state, backsliding, etc.), but it's a total no-go otherwise.
They just use much more network bandwidth, memory, screen real estate and CPU power and time to do it.
Let me get this 100% straight, rendering light the exact same way reality itself does it is a gimmick?

In any case, RT isn't just about getting pretty graphics. It massively lowers the artists' workload since there's no need to painstakingly go through each in-game area and add fake lights to make everything look good.

No gaming studio will pass up on the opportunity to get better graphics and better productivity. It really is just a matter of waiting a few years for the hardware to get good enough.
Same, deluge and qbittorrent would start to have issues with very large or lots of torrents. Ended up with transmission with the trguiNG UI and its handled everything. It's not perfect and often slow but it hasn't crashed.

2024-07-23 - Vulnerability introduced as part of a standard Okta release

This issue is not an "okta is old" issue. this was new code written in 2024 that used a password hashing function from 1999 as a cache key.
For people failing for a long time at fixed wake-up schedules or still feeling like shit after months of doing it: giving up is fine, and it frees you to explore what works for you.

It might change depending on the seasons, and you might more or less sleep depending on what you're doing at that time.

Waking up at the same damn hour everyday to deal with my kid's school was an utter pain for years, and I got in a better health and shape once I could adjust depending on my daily condition.

It still have a set of fixed alarms, but regularly ignore the first ones as needed, and only wake no-matter-what for the last one for my job. I heard from other coworkers doing the same, and it was a game-changer for most of us.
I owned a g4 power Mac ... Yes moving to intel at the time was magical... Maybe not for you but for me it was....
Not only is it blatant whataboutism, but the whataboutist analogies for the US of Alaska, Palestine and Cuba are also completely nonsensical, as the US didn't conquer any of them. I suppose though that being nonsensical is on theme for PRC nationalists arguing online.
If you have no restrictions you have no need to evolve .....
This is obviously a huge mistake by Okta (for the love of God understand how your crypto functions work before you apply them) but at the same time, a crypto function with a maximum input length that also auto-truncates the data sounds like bad API design. You are basically asking for someone to goof up and make a mistake. It's much better to implement these things defensively so that the caller doesn't inadvertently make a mistake. Especially with a hashing algorithm, because there is no way to verify that the result is correct.
How do you get an intelligent species??
I agree it’s kind of weird. I do wonder if the ultra was part of their original M1 plan, or it came along somewhere in the middle of development and they just had to come up with a name to put it above the Max.

That said it’s far better than any PC scheme. It used to be easy enough when everything was megahertz. But I left the Wintel world around 2006 or so and stopped paying attention.

I’ve been watching performance reviews of some video game things recently and to my ears it’s just total gobbledygook now. The 13900KS, 14900K, 7900X, 7950X3D, all sorts of random letters and numbers. I know there’s a method to the madness but if you don’t know it it’s a mess. At least AMD puts a generation in their names. Ryzen 9 is newer than Ryzen 7.

Intel has been using i3, i5, i7, and i9 forever. But the problem is you can’t tell what generation they are just from that. Making them meaningless without knowing a bunch more.

At least as far as I know they didn’t remember everything. I remember when graphics cards were easy because a higher number meant better, until the numbers got too big so they released the best new ones with a lower number for a while.

At least I find Apple’s name tractable both between generations and within a generation.
> 2. The state of the art in SPAs moves so quickly it feels to me like you have to spend a significant amount of your productive time staying in place on the treadmill before you can even consider creating value for your end users.

I think this is no longer true, not how it used to be. Of course, you CAN chase the latest cool. However, if you stick with one of the more popular libraries then things should be stable. My react code now doesn't look very different to my react code in 2019. They've added new things but I haven't used them.
Even with a proper certificate check, downloading and running a remote executable is by definition an RCE vulnerability.

Syncthing does this too (though presumably with a certificate check). Automatic unattended autoupdate is logically indistinguishable from a RAT/trojan.

There are a LOT of corporate Macs out there that are still on Intel.

The replacement cycle may just be that long. Or maybe they chose to stick with Intel. Maybe because that’s what they were used to or maybe because had specific software needs. So they were still buying them after Apple Silicon machines had been released.

Yeah it’s not a big deal for the enthusiast crowd. But for some of their customers it’s absolutely a consideration.
That's not what I was saying. The words have a certain force by definition. The way they're used is a separate concern; it's possible that in another language, the correct academic practice is to use words indicating certainty while it's just understood that the certainty isn't really present. In such a case, he might accurately understand what the English words he's using mean - they convey total certainty - without understanding that English speakers will interpret them as conveying total certainty.
One thing I've done is create a "color clock" using a smart bulb that changes color based on a daily schedule. So at 8:00pm the bulb has a dim orange glow, this changes to dim red glow at 9pm and then turns off at 10pm (sleep time). Its a really nice relaxing way of ensuring a regular sleep pattern (no longer clock watching etc).
No. The lack of certificate checking means anyone with access to the network in between; a rogue AP is sufficient.
chibicc looks impressive, want to compliment on the clear and concise README. Thank you!
The last few macOS updates have really been killing performance on Intel Macs. Your 2014 is probably safe because it'll still be running an older macOS.
Hey, I feel that. Lots of people think I'm a flake. And I use the word "inverted" frequently to describe my state to my friends/girlfriend/clients when it gets too far outside social norms ;)

Just a piece of unsolicited advice: I learned to make a virtue out of it. I'm a solo software dev and I have to maintain big pieces of code that run 24/7. Well, my virtue is that I've been available 24/7 to my clients for the last 20 years. And one of the results of that has been that they've never abandoned me and gone to larger companies to deal with software issues. My own schedule is so variable, it doesn't really matter if I'm asleep or awake or what time zone they're in; if it's not urgent, it goes into my inbox, but if it's urgent, I usually answer the phone immediately. Part of this has been adding layers of support forms so I don't have to wake up to every phone call. But the people who have my cell number get through right away.

The result of that is that I basically get paid $300 every time I have to wake up, which is soul-soothing enough to prevent me from being angry. And the rest of the time I can sleep whenever I feel like it.

Being on a 32:12 hour cycle could have massive rewards. Clients are extremely appreciative, especially if you break your sleep for something important. Like, don't be afraid to tell your clients about your sleep cycle. Getting through admitting that was probably the biggest breakthrough of my career. My girlfriend loves that I'm still up working and make her breakfast at 4am when she's headed for work some days, or make her dinner when she comes home at night others. It's always a surprise, I tell her. You just have to find people who appreciate the energy you bring.

Yes, the "straight world" of people with 9-5 jobs and kids absolutely abhors this lifestyle and thinks it's irresponsible and flakey. But then again, they don't get paid $300 for waking up in the middle of the day ;) My friends (and girlfriends) are lyft drivers, waiters, coders, night shift workers, and other people who spurn daylight society. We are legion.

No, I just think every last part of ripgrep has had the shit optimised out of it.

Plus it's written in rust and as we know, it's blazingly fast.
And my 2019 Intel MBP is still working too. Use it every day.

The idea of a 6x (or whatever) performance jump is certainly tempting. Exactly as they intend it to be. If I was in charge of replacing it I would be far more likely to buy than if I had an M3.

They’re trying to entire likely buyers.
I prefer web apps to native apps any day. However, web apps are limited by what they can do.

But what they can do is not consistent - for example, it can take your picture and listen to your microphone if you give permissions; but it can't open a socket. Another example: Chrome came out with an File System Access API [2] in August; it's fantastic (I am using it) and it allows a class of native apps to be replaced by Web Apps. As a user, I don't mind having to jump through hoops (as a user) and giant warning screens to accept that permission - but I want this ability on the Web Platform.

For Web Apps to be able to complete with native apps, we need more flexibility Mozilla. [1]

What do you mean "remember"? It still makes using the command line in Windows tolerable. And yes, I am familiar with PowerShell, and NO I'm not interested in using it.
I am sometimes confused with Walter White, as we are both in the Empire business.
That would introduce you to a world quite similar to psychology's obsession with p-hacking to prove confidence where there should be none.
I’m a CEO, I was not given a magic ring to predict the future when I took the role, I make the best decisions I can as a totally flawed human being.

Businesses have natural expansion and contraction cycles. New products are built and iterated on with a hope of finding product market fit, but most of these endeavours fail.

I am paid to make the hard decisions. Sometimes that hard decision is to scale down the workforce. Yes, it sucks, but a large majority of those impacted end up financially ahead (rehired quickly and one, two or three months ahead because of the redundancy payout).

Penalising a CEO for making hard decisions is a great recipe for stagnant companies. What would have happened to Kodak or Blockbuster if they had a CEO with enough grit to cut the workforce and pivot the businesses before they collapsed?
I'm a US citizen living in the US. None of my plans are dependent on who becomes president. I'll just keep on doing what I do. I think this is true of those I know as well, regardless of their political stance, but it's hard to tell because it's not a topic of conversation. Most people I know just want the whole thing to be over.
The number of papers from Chinese teams getting accepted into the top international journals paints a different picture.

Chinese scientists are now publishing more papers in journals like Nature and Science than American scientists are. Those are journals with very difficult peer-reviewing and editorial thresholds.
If you're going 3-11, that's 8 hrs...

I'm the king of getting a second wind, but it's usually alcohol-driven. Curtailing food and booze about 3 hrs before sleep, watching a little Mentour Pilot or reading a book, I'll conk out before I planned to. Avoiding the second wind is a discussion in itself.
The time to start a business is in your 20s, before you have a kid. Unfortunately, China runs short of these. The largest demographic bucket is 50-54 years old. The second largest is 65-69. The 20’s are 7th and 8th…

In many cases they are doing their own designs (done by engineers they hired away from the various electronics companies) and having either TSMC or Intel fab the chips for them. They can design specifically for their workloads to get better price/performance than they can buy from AMD or Nvidia.
What's considered the most secure Bittorrent app?
> The trouble with SEL4 is that it's not much more than a hypervisor. People tend to run Linux on top of it, which loses most of the security benefits.

Well, yeah, that's a problem.

But the bigger problem is that this works for jets, as long as you don't need updates. It doesn't work for general purpose computers, for office productivity software, for databases (is there an RDBMS with a correctness proof?), etc. It's not that one couldn't build such things, it's that the cost would be absolutely prohibitive.
just considering the number of simple calculations a CPU can compute isn't a very good comparison. apple's chips are using an ARM architecture, which is a Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) setup, vs x86-64, which is a Complex-ISC (CISC).

The only good comparison is to judge a variety of real world programs compiled for each architecture, and run them.
And both those machines are way faster than the last Intel Mac Pro which started at around $7000 iirc
What hardware are you running this on? I’m interested in trying out local models for programming, and need some pointers on hardware
Except it will do literally no such thing. The working classes exist because of scarcity of labor, not despite it. Adding labor to the pool dilutes the value of a unit of labor (supply and demand). Only the tiny minority of individuals who own and control capital are positioned to capture any benefits accrued by increased availability of labor.
And then the experience on a larger screen will be bad.
That is not good insurance.
Looking back, I think that I was chronically exhausted as a teenager. I was always on 5 or less hours of sleep. At that age, you have the metabolism to wake up and have a full day without feeling sleepy. But I've always wondered about why militaries deprive their recruits of sleep, except right before battle, or why school systems do - and I think it's simply that people are more malleable when they're chronically tired. Yes, you can get used to it, and your adrenaline will still kick in when necessary. But you're not performing as a fully cognizant human being. Teenagers, however, don't need to be fully cognizant of anything anyway... so it all works out.
Even thought that was updated hours ago it doesn't list Zen 5 or Arrow Lake.

China doesn't really have stable rule of law, but "agent of chaos on the world stage"? It's the most stable and predictable major power, by far.

China hasn't fought a war in 40 years. It's been too busy focusing on its own internal economic development. In terms of the international order, China is much more committed to institutions like the UN and WTO than the US is, because China wants a stable international framework in which to continue its own internal development.
No, neither of those.
Companies can and sometimes do good things. They are not obligated to be maximally evil against non-shareholders.
Except that ARM just cancelled Qualcomm's chip design license, so... oopsy
That was what finally got me to spend the cash and go with Apple Silicon - we switched to a Docker workflow and it was just doooooog slow on the Intel Macs.

But this M1 Max MBP is just insane. I'm nearly 50 and it's the best machine I've ever owned; nothing is even close.
> is Apple running away from the competition?

No.

On the same node, the performance is quite similar. Apple's previous CPU (M3) has been a 3nm part, while AMD's latest and greatest Zen 5 is still on TSMC's 4nm.

Is that a problem? Again, I'm talking about the scenario where you control both sides of the connection, not where you're trying to use UDP to communicate with a third party service.
