I feel like that is a great example of hype. Some that looks impressive but once you watch for a bit you realize it's a shallow copy that required a million hours of footage to generate.
We are well beyond the days of NDISWrapper, most of the kernel contributions come from hardware manufacturers or integrators
I'm someone who loves doing weird culinary things, and has, in the past, gone to relatively extreme amounts of effort to make something at home rather than buying it (or at least...to try making it at home). I am probably in the top 1% or more of people willing to expend time and effort on weird food things.

And yet even for me, spending 1.5-2 hours to get 3 baked potatoes, which are supposedly just....really nicely baked potatoes?...seems like a lot.

I'm glad that there are people out there preserving weird old historical cooking methods, but I feel no compulsion at all to actually try this myself.
Incidentally green apples are the only ones I still enjoy either raw or cooked, because they aren’t sickeningly sweet, and they store decently so they are on hand when I want one.
Nice. NVDA getting a big boost next week.
It would be $2,199 for the highest end CPU and the 64GB of memory but I think you're point remains: the Studio is not a great buy until it receives the M4 upgrades.
What a difference a slash makes! Still, it does ring (the wrong) bell.
Completely off topic, but I was a Linux user for years, then I had to use Windows with WSL2, and it was a constant struggle.
I recently switched to a Mac M3, and oh boy, it is a pleasure to use.
No more fighting the Windows/WSL divide, slowness and command line tools.
Also M3 is a really fast beast.
Fancy schools are just a way to get pre-vetted candidates.

If you aren’t pre-vetted, it doesn’t mean you’re worse, it just means vetting you is more work and has more risk.

Are you serious?
In wealthier, modern economies:

* More women work more and invest in their own education and fewer spend time alone at home as they might in poorer countries which would facilitate giving birth and investing time on childcare that way.

* More men and women derive their primary income from work that children cannot easily participate in. EG: office work, work from home computer work, vs farming or working with one's hands. In many poorer countries it is common practice to have more children at least partially to bolster the labor force around the house.

* Wealthier nations have better access to family planning: contraception, abortion, pasttimes that can meaningfully compete against getting laid in the first place.

Just run Linux inside a VM. Problem solved.
Microfluidics have been widely used since the 80s, this is like saying a company is a scam just because their sales pitch includes the phrase machine learning.
It was, at least, pretty good for video gaming: https://web.archive.org/web/20181025222235/https://techrepor... though, alas, it doesn't look like the Wayback Machine properly sucked up the whole article before the site got sold to particularly nasty link/content farmers.

(I miss Tech Report.)
If they don't release that code to the public, what good does it do? (Also, if they are only doing a temporary in-house version for initial hardware work, they can do all kinds of ugly hacks that wouldn't really be good for upstream use any anyway.)
Since when did we knight people in the USA?!

CHAI is able to keep growing is because it is ran like a quant-trading team.

1. Pay well: You need to get the best people.
2. Give big responsibility: Great people want impact. Gives them room to smash it.
3. Hold people accountable: More responsibility for top-performers and fire the deadweight. It's harsh but works.
I'll try to keep my sentences shorter for you. :-)

It's not that 'wars must end, otherwise they keep fighting', but that there is 'a political settlement which satisfies enough participants to create stability ... otherwise they keep fighting'. [0]

I will stipulate that the sentence could have parsed more clearly. :-(

[0] It's just Clausewitz, effectively: Warfare is politics conducted by other means.

The US thinks of Chinese prosperity as a threat in and of itself. The US wants to call the shots, and the reason it has been able to since WWII is because it is wealthy (due to its innovation of not being a country in Europe during WWII.) It's not simply racism, though. The US also thinks of European prosperity as a threat.

These sentiments are not hidden. They are openly spoken during policy discussions and in policy papers. Fake concerns about the nature of Chinese governance have nothing to do with it - the problem the US has with Chinese governance is that China is not governed by the US. The US is jealous of China's tools for censorship and the tight top down political control.

edit: the US government is not at all concerned about the citizens of China. It also did not invade Afghanistan for women's rights, and it is not helping Israel to preserve gay rights. These are barely even serious pretenses. It is not in Ukraine because it cares about the freedom of 2/3rds of the population to suppress the other third. These are stories for children.

Don't let worries about future hardware get in the way of using gear that works in the present. If future Macs aren't supported for some reason, that doesn't break your current hardware, and you can buy different hardware next time.

There are people running Linux on abandoned hardware from companies that went out of business, and that's okay.
My MacBooks are built like a tank and outperform/outlive everything else easily for a decade. I don’t need more than 128GB of RAM or 2TB of storage… and I don’t need to repair what doesn’t break. It would be nice to have the option, but the time I save using an OS that just works like MacOS is worth more to me. And the best software in the world always runs on it. It’s a no brainier for me.
Well, if in 2021 you took your MacBook Air M1 (8GB) out on a Friday, downloaded movies, watched them, browsed the internet, did some casual development, and came back late Sunday without needing to charge it, I’d be impressed.
Switch to M4 Max 16-core CPU, it will unlock 64 and 128GB options for memory.
Anyone who thinks Chinese science isn't catching up extremely fast is dreaming. In my own area accepted papers at top conferences from china have gone from a negligible amount to about 50% in the space of 15 years. It's only a matter of time before the top prizes mentioned will follow in my opinion.
Yes, i understand perfectly this is exactly what i do with my cube, it is sitting in my desk and i give it a few solves daily, it really helps to keep my mental in a good state.

I will probably buy another this time stickerless to not worry about them deteriorating over time
I joined Microsoft as a hater of everything Microsoft.

For this late 90s graduate, a position at Microsoft was the holy grail
of programming jobs. Hard to imagine taking a job there grudgingly
just to pay the bills.
I think of it as something completely different...

Spend a few days in the city, but have a larger more affordable house elsewhere away from the madness.

also, this could be a way people "return to office" possibly until a job with sane policies comes around.

(of course the curtain bit is unsettling and not sane)

I was there, part of a small community writing apps pre-SDK.

Neither, I, nor anyone else, can promise you it wasn't just a simple $ calculation.

That being said, literally every signal, inside, outside, or leaked, was that apps / public SDK, if it existed meaningfully before release, had to be accelerated due to a poor reaction to the infamous "sweet solution", web apps.

I agree its logically possible, but I'd like to note for the historical record that this does not jive with what happened, at the time. Even setting that aside, it doesn't sound right in the context of that management team. That version of Apple wasn't proud of selling complements to their goods, they weren't huge on maximizing revenue from selling music or bragging about it. But they were huge on bragging about selling iPods.
Way to go! Congratulations and nicely done!
Are the new MacBook Airs the ones that have throttling issues due to heat?

That's a marketing issue "look OUR car has this shiny big touchscreen now!" which car manufacturers think -- or thought -- users would prefer and buy (with Tesla leading the way). That may change if there is user blowback. (Just drove a new BMW Series 4 the other day and it had the big touch screen but retained the buttons/controls because they're better for settings you change often or while driving. Touchscreen is better for settings you change less frequently or while not driving (like charging).
Don't know how titles worked in the Austria-Hungary empire but his family had nobility titles:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_family

(at least he's listed there)

Not sure which title and how it'd work in english but "Sir" doesn't sound off if he indeed was part of the nobility (not that you'd be forced to use it: but it may not be wrong to use it).
M3 and M4 is not there because the Asahi Teams have a roadmap and stick to it.

They don't want to leave M1/M2 half botched before moving on to the next gen that will ultimately support more features.

If you are not happy with the pace go on and contribute, but don't invent false issues.
Anything with proper algebraic data types.
Vendors don't always want to do this. I've seen 6-figure instruments stop working after a major update, and when we go to the vendor for an updated version of the software, their response is "we don't support that hardware anymore; buy a new instrument."
> other x86 and ARM manufacturers are making substantial improvements that are shortening Apple's lead

x86 has fundamental issues that I believe prevent it from ever achieving the MIPS per watt efficiency of anything from ARM. I mean... the newest M4 laptop will have a 24 hour battery life. That exceeds anything remotely possible in the same laptop form factor but with x86 by nearly an order of magnitude.

So now you're talking just ARM. Linux has been compilable on ARM for a while now, so where are the competing ARM laptops that are anywhere close to the power of Apple's version of ARM?

I do get what you're saying though (I'm definitely a Linux fan and have a Linux Framework laptop), but I wish it wasn't an x86 laptop because its battery life is crap (and that is sometimes important).
I will do this for you. List 20 compounds surveiled by the US government for potential association with terrorist groups in a comment under your account below this comment and I will answer yes/no if it is in the group as a whole.
The box alone is a very interesting object. I guess it's made of gold? And the modular hinge. Hope they do a 3D scan.
Why isn't functional programming the norm?
I'm not familiar with this. Suppose Apple released docs under an "as is" type disclaimer like is so common in the open source community: would doing so potentially come back to bite them?

When cooking meat, I use two pairs of chopsticks: the raw chopsticks and the cooked chopsticks. The raw chopsticks are used to loaded into the pan and to flip it once. Once that batch is flipped I use the cooked chopsticks.
Great advice, but the fact that you're a former FAANG employee pitching an AI company did ~70% of the work
Sadly, this is the exact reason why I hold back trying Asahi and run the chance of liking any of it :-(

Recently saw someone wondering why no one has tried building a laptop with as much quality as an Apple? A special version of Linux to run on such a laptop would offer more long-term commitment and maybe pull in more adoption.
This is basically the same reason I think sports cars are horrible... trying to fit a 10 ton roll of steel in the backseat is nearly impossible.
Or not. Maybe you'd get "infinite scroll". Or some other modern webdev bullshit that's strictly inferior to PDF (or plain HTML) and CTRL+F.

I'm actually surprised by the anti-PDF sentiment here (in general case, not necessarily this book). Modern web is so bad, that almost every day I end up on some page that would be strictly better if it were a PDF. So, to play devil's advocate, PDFs are cool because:

- The links may rot, but they remain, and so does surrounding content. Once you get a PDF, no one can take it away from you.

- It's self-contained. It can easily be transferred between devices and read without an Internet connection.

- It's a file. Yes, it's important to mention because in 2024, files cannot be taken for granted.

- Rich format without spurious dynamics and other web nonsense. Sure, PDFs technically can run arbitrary JavaScript, but hardly any reader supports that.

- Can't track you or spy on you (theoretically it could, in practice, see previous point).

I could come up with a few more. Point being, you could do worse, and modern web quite often is worse.

As for what could be an even better format, my mind is drawn towards CHM[0]. You know, like the help files in old Windows software. A self-contained file built of interlinked HTML pages, complete with index and internal search/xref. Kind of a better EPUB[1].

(Ironically, marketers should actually love PDF - total control over presentation is exactly what they've been trying to gain on the web all these years.)
