Not surprising considering the CPU in the fastest "desktop" Mac before today was slower than an old Intel chips you can buy for ~$350 (e.g. the 14700k).

My father in-law did web development for years, but has been retired for a while. I mentioned this to him briefly, and he said pretty nonchalantly “yeah, we were always pressured to push everything to the client to improve response times.” I’m sure there’s more to it than just that, but it was all very simple to him.
Ceasing assistance is a bit different than providing assistance to the enemy.

The US helped support Ukraine for several years. That was nice. Someone else can now redirect domestic resources to that cause. We've had our turn.

The real question is who benefits from the tall apocalyptic tales told to taxpayers that if families part with their dollars to at least equally corrupt foreign lands, they will be safer from the evil russians. It's not clear to me that the international meddling of the US this century has performed the claims of the war cries, and we're exhausted of servicing them.
I have a 4090 and, out of curiosity, I looked up the FLOPS in comparison with Apple chips.

Nvidia RTX 4090 (Ada Lovelace)

FP32: Approximately 82.6 TFLOPS

FP16: When using its 4th‑generation Tensor Cores in FP16 mode with FP32 accumulation, it can deliver roughly 165.2 TFLOPS (in non‑tensor mode, the FP16 rate is similar to FP32).

FP8: The Ada architecture introduces support for an FP8 format; using this mode (again with FP32 accumulation), the RTX 4090 can achieve roughly 330.3 TFLOPS (or about 660.6 TOPS, depending on how you count operations).

Apple M1 Ultra
(The previous‑generation top‑end Apple chip)

FP32: Around 15.9 TFLOPS (as reported in various benchmarks)

FP16: By similar scaling, FP16 performance would be roughly double that value—approximately 31.8 TFLOPS (again, an estimate based on common patterns in Apple’s GPU designs)

FP8: Like the M3 family, the M1 Ultra does not support a dedicated FP8 precision mode.

So a $2000 Nvidia 4090 gives you about 5x the FLOPS, but with far less high speed RAM (24GB vs. 512GB from Apple in the new M3 Ultra). The RAM bandwidth on the Nvidia card is over 1TBps, compared with 800GBps for Apple Silicon.

Apple is catching up here and I am very keen for them to continue doing so! Anything that knocks Nvidia down a notch is good for humanity.
Using Rider on an Macbook Air M2 (24 GB RAM) -- admittedly, pretty small/simple code-bases for the most part. Great performance. Only issues come when I need a lot of docker containers running too, especially if they're not ARM images. With that I don't notice performance issues - but the battery drain is noticeable at that point.
Very curiously: They upgraded the Mac Studio but not the Mac Pro today.
Isn't that just any discrete (Nvidia,AMD) GPU?
You can charge with both. The USB-C stuff is due to EU regulations and MagSafe because people love it as a charging cable type.
But-- GPS already produces an okayish fix. Improving it with another signal from somewhere else would make a big difference.

> and the two stable Lagrange points, L4 and L5

We have plenty of spacecraft hanging out around L1, etc. It's possible to orbit it without too much issue. Having one broadcast a navigation signal synchronized with GPS would not be too bad.

> are as far from the moon as Earth is

The issue isn't that they're far away-- it's that they're all in pretty much the same direction. There's very small uncertainties in orbits and measured path length, but if they're all in the same direction you get very poor lateral position.

This is the same effect you can get if you can only see a little tiny bit of the sky with GPS. You might have enough satellites to navigate, but since they're all close to the same direction the navigation solution is much worse.
Two separate laptops, I could have been clearer. I have an old 2018 I wanted to try it on, and my daily is M2 that would have been next.

That's funny because not that long ago, HN had a pretty noticeable conservative+libertarian slant.

I think what you're seeing as liberal comments are really a testament to just how batshit crazy the current administration is behaving. Regardless of your political alignment, this amount of chaos an uncertainty is generally disfavored by the markets, the economy, etc.

Edit - lol, and now I have the downvotes that prove HN isn't suddenly gone liberal - there's a big chunk of regulars who are FAR from liberal.
It provides an interesting test case for the usefulness (or lack thereof) of AI detectors:

ZeroGPT: Your Text is Human written (0% AI GPT)

QuillBot: 0% of text is likely AI

GPTZero: We are highly confident this text was ai generated. 100% Probability AI generated

Grammarly: 0% of this text appears to be AI-generated

None of them gave the actual answer (human written and AI edited), even though QuillBot has a separate category for this (Human-written & AI-refined: 0%).
So what is the scenario you fear? An iOS or Android user goes to brother.com and prints brick_my_printer.pdf? With that level of paranoia you might as well trash the printer because an update could theoretically be steganographically hidden in a way no filter or intermediate print servers can catch without unacceptably degrading the print quality.
1. The supply is nonetheless constrained and immutably fixed; what is the relevance of whether it is by contract or law of nature?

2. What do you mean by "real" infrastructure? Crypto-mining rigs are no less real than actual mines.

My argument would be that gold's value is as much a social construct as that of crypto; value is just a function of supply and demand.

I'm guessing you might post that there is a third input: utility. "Currency" is one use for gold, but can certainly serve many purposes, whereas crypto coins are strictly used as currency. That fact is presumably taken into account by a coin's price; nonetheless, it still has whatever value the market says it has at any time.
I would ask "Has a feed ever tried to abuse that to get readers to go away" the answer is yes, at which point the reader would ignore it.
Outside of classical studies, papish notions regarding Greek and Latin were decidedly unpopular in Church of England era Britain (for obvious reasons!).

The real argument against Dickens at the time was more to do with his habit of serialising his novels in cheap newspapers. This then rendered his subject matter of choice - social commentary, fiscal egalitarianism, and empathy for the poor - a little too accessible for the comfort of the ruling classes.

He did so even in his own Newspaper 'Household Words' - which while championing the cause of the poor and working classes, did so by addressing itself almost exclusively to the middle classes!

"...We seek to bring to innumerable homes, from the stirring world around us, the knowledge of many social wonders, good and evil, that are not calculated to render any of us less ardently persevering in ourselves, less faithful in the progress of mankind, less thankful for the privilege of living in this summer-dawn of time." Charles Dickens

He started this with 'Hard Times' - a thinly veiled socialist critique against unbridled capitalism and immorality. It specifically targeted Edwin Chadwick, who helped design the Malthusian basis of the appalling Poor Law of 1834, but was more generally an attack on the Utilitarians of the time. Shaw described it as a "passionate revolt against the whole industrial order of the modern world".
I care to some extent. But both old.reddit.com still works just fine and 3rd party apps when using my personal API key still work. I am still using Apollo on iOS and it's still working just fine for me.

As long as these 2 things work I'll likely still continue using it.

So I care to the point that if I can get them to work then I will stick around, but when I can't then I'll leave.
It feels like a fever dream here, too. Even if MAGA is removed from power in 2-4 years, our credibility in the world is destroyed for a generation.

There is so much hopelessness from my friends. What can we do? We're kind of waiting for some national movement to take hold, but where are the Democrats? Where are the calls for a national day to strike and protest? Why are we treating this like normal politics?

Yes. When you type "word" in the search bar, you get directed to MS Word Online, a free version of MS Word.

For all the other programs, and browsers as well, hit "print" and select "print to PDF".

> Which one, the Edge browser

Yes. I hate Edge and have disabled it, but I have to give it to them that their PDF reader is much better than the one built into other operating systems. It's optimised for simplicity and common PDF interactions (highlighting, filling out forms, etc.). Plus, unlike all the other PDF readers, Edge has some excellent security features that have been implemented because of its browser nature.

The way Edge has turned into a shitty shell of its former self is a true software tragedy. It was well on the way to become the best browser available until Microsoft decided to Microsoft all over it. Still, works fine for opening PDF files.

Yeah, it was my first podcast too. I'm pretty sure it's part of the reason I went into tech, had a pretty big influence on my life. Kevin mentioned trying to buy back digg on the podcast, I couldn't tell if it was a serious comment or not. Looks like it was.

MFC Progress bar. Like it's 1999
Its not though. For consumer computers somewhere 1k-4k there's nothing better. But for the price of 512gb of RAM you could buy that + a crazy CPU + 2x 5090s by building your own. The market fit is "needs power; needs/wants macOS; has no budget" which is so incredibly niche. But in terms of raw compute output there's absolutely no chance this is providing bang for buck
> After all, the 5090 alone is multiple times the wattage of this SoC.

FWIW, normalizing the wattages (or even underclocking the GPU) will still give you an Nvidia advantage most days. Apple's GPU designs are closer to AMD's designs than Nvidia's, which means they omit a lot of AI accelerators to focus on a less-LLM-relevent raster performance figure.

Yes, the GPU is faster than the NPU. But Apple's GPU designs haven't traditionally put their competitors out of a job.
My work laptop is a 2019 i7, my personal is a m3. There is a huge - very very noticeable difference. The thing that actually annoys me the worst with the intel though isn't the 'speed' per se but it's the shitty battery life and heat it generates (and the fan noise that causes).
Getting Linux running wasn't difficult. But Mint lost audio (everything else worked), the specialised Mint kernel lost both audio and wifi, and Arch lost both wifi and the onboard keyboard.

I'm sure with tinkering I could eventually get it working, but I'm well past the point of wanting to tinker with hardware and drivers to get Linux working.

They have an opportunity to make a news aggregator that is well moderated and doesn’t include bullshit. That seems to be what they want to do. However, I have zero confidence they will succeed because they have drunk the “AI” Kool-Aid. No matter how much money and experience they have, profit seeking tech bros will never be able to recapture the magic.

Fair. A better comparison would be System 76. Comparing the 15" to System 76, I get a bigger screen (16"), TWO 2TB M.2 drives, and 64 GB RAM for $150 cheaper than a 15" with one 1TB drive and 32GB RAM. And the System 76 comes with a bunch of ports, too. For the same specs, it is $550 cheaper.
How is that even a response to my post? At all? I didn't express any opinion if the US should use force... so I'm not sure what you could agree or disagree with about that.
Not an OG, but I used to enjoy watching Diggnation on my iPod Video.

Hopefully the new Digg is full of interesting stuff and not a "front page" of endless politics (it's even leaching into the lesser-known niche subreddits).
Most recent GPUs will do. An older RTX 4070 is over 400 TOPS, the new RTX 5070 is around 1000 TOPS, and the RTX 5090 is around 3600 TOPS.
> It doesn't happen because the elected government doesn't want to.

You're skipping over the point of why they don't want to seize the billionaire his assets: because a billionaire is a valuable ally to a politician seeking to stay in power. In fact, a billionaire is more valuable to a politician than his actual constituents. And that's how we get oligarchs.

Wish I had the skills to help them. Targeting just one set of architecture, I think Asahi has more chances of success.
Growing up in Belgium I feel your pain about GeoIPs and accept-language.

I lived in Flanders, with my accept-language set to en-US, en.

Ads would pop up in Dutch, Flemish, French and sometimes German. When you think about it, from a brick-and-mortar point of view, it makes sense. I'm more likely to buy <physical product advertised> at the <local chain grocery store> vs buying it anywhere in the USA, based on my IP.

Next to that, imagine you browsing Reuters.com in with a Berlin IP and accept-language set to en-US, en.

What SHOULD they show you? Local news in German, auto translated? Local news in German? Or redirect you to the US page?

The jump from Intel to M* is huge.

Whether that's worth it for you - hard to say.

You can get a good deal on a refurbished or used M* MBP and try it out. My 2021 M1 Max MBP is still going strong; so strong I just can't justify a new one.

Biggest thing to note is how many external displays you want to drive. I got the M1 Max to drive my 2-4.
Why would you need BLAS for tokenization/detokenization? Pretty much everyone still uses BBPE which amounts to iteratively applying merges.

It isn't China though its Russia, it was Chinese company that owned the ship but it was a Russian captain and it had just left Russia.
I could have written it clearer. I have both, Intel was the first attempt and when I was struggling to get it up without losing one of wifi, audio and onboard keyboard and read that ARM was worse I gave up. Even the best combination I had (no audio but everything else working) would kill bluetooth after a while if wifi was connected to 2.6. I don't like their hardware enough to fight with it.
I think there is more to the story. Here is an interesting tidbit: The person Neo4j is fighting (Suhy) is the founder of ONgDB and DozerDB - the 2 biggest open source forks of Neo4j. (Possibly the only forks)

I do regret the 8GB with some frequency. There was a 2-3 week shipping difference when they came out and I was impatient.

That said, the fact that a 5 year old laptop with 8GB RAM is usable even for coding situations is astounding.
France Yellow jackets, China anti-lockdown protests are well known failure with 0 impact.

I will also tell the friends I made/lived with in NDDL that our action had no impact and that the airport is being built (given that a couple of them bought a house where the airport was supposed to be, they might not all believe me).
Yeah, I have a personal m2max. The only thing that might get me to upgrade to the m4 is just being able to hand this laptop down to my sister or my parents for whom it is severe overkill for but they will use it for like 10 more years.
Absolutely. I had a 2017 machine and any Apple Silicon machine will run circles around what you already have.
I did a hell of a lot of maintenance on my e46 and I think 2010 plus or minus 5 years were not the best modern BMW years. Things like plugs, ac compressor, idler pulley, coils, and the impossible to remove wheel bearing.

This is interesting, what do you mean by hostile user practices? Can you say more (about both /. and Digg)?
That's fair, I realised that later.

So, what's the question if the M1/M2 Ultra was limited by GPU/NPU or more memory bandwidth at this point?

I'm curious what instruction sets may have been included with the M3 chip that the other two lack for AI.

So far the candidates seem to be NVIDIA digits, Framework Desktop, M1 64gb M2/M3 128gb studio/ultra.

The GPU market isn't competitive enough for the amount of VRAM needed. I was hoping for an Battlemage GPU Model with 24GB that would be reasonably priced and available.

The framework desktop and devices I think a second generation will be significantly better than what's currently on offer today. Rationale below...

For a max spec processor with ram at $2,000, this seems like a decent deal given today's market. However, this might age very fast for three reasons.

Reason 1: LPDDR6 may debut in the next year or two this could bring massive improvements to memory bandwidth and capacity for soldered on memory.

LPDDR6 vs LPDDR5 - Data bus width - 24 bits, 16 bits Burst length - 24 bits, 15 bits Memory bandwidth - Up to 38.4 GB/s, Up to 6.7 GB/s

- Camm ram may or may not be maintain signal integrity as memory bandwidth increases. Until I see it implemented for a AI use-case in a cost-effective manner, I am skeptical.

Reason 2: - It's a laptop chip with limited PCI lanes and reduced power envelope. Theoretically, a desktop chip could have better performance, more lanes, socketable (Although, I don't think I've seen a socketed CPU with soldered RAM)

Reason 3: In addition, what does hardware look like being repurposed in the future compared to alternatives?

- Unlike desktop or server counterparts which can have a higher cpu core count, PCEe/IO Expansion, this processor with its motherboard is limited on re-purposing later down the line as a server to self-host other software besides AI. I suppose could be turned into a overkill, NAS with ZFS and HBA Single Controller Card in new case.

- Buying into the framework desktop is pretty limited based on the form factor. Next generation might be able to include a 16x slot fully populated, a 10G nic. That seems about it if they're going to maintain the backward compatibility philosophy given the case form factor.
> that 10k is a absolute bargain

The higher end NVidia workstation boxes won’t run well on normal 20amp plugs. So you need to move them to a computer room (whoops, ripped those out already) or spend months getting dedicated circuits run to office spaces.
Yeah, they trash idle/sleep battery life—or, at least, used to, back when I had access to lots of differently-configured iPads for my job—so you don’t want it on there unless you really need it.
