Do you have an 16" Macbook Pro? There is a hardware bug where plugging in external bluetooth kills the internal bluetooth.


That’s a thing on 13” MBP as well, it happened to me. I needed to use some super antiquated BT USB adapter and provide the digital equivalent of an indigenous rain dance in order to revive it. Apparently Apple was just straight up replacing motherboards because of it but I really didn’t want to be without my machine for a week plus during peak COVID.


That's not how M1's unified memory works.

>The SoC has access to 16GB of unified memory. This uses 4266 MT/s LPDDR4X SDRAM (synchronous DRAM) and is mounted with the SoC using a system-in-package (SiP) design. A SoC is built from a single semiconductor die whereas a SiP connects two or more semiconductor dies. SDRAM operations are synchronised to the SoC processing clock speed. Apple describes the SDRAM as a single pool of high-bandwidth, low-latency memory, allowing apps to share data between the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine efficiently. In other words, this memory is shared between the three different compute engines and their cores. The three don't have their own individual memory resources, which would need data moved into them. This would happen when, for example, an app executing in the CPU needs graphics processing – meaning the GPU swings into action, using data in its memory. https://www.theregister.com/2020/11/19/apple_m1_high_bandwid...

These Macs are gonna be machine learning beasts.


I know; I was talking about the computer the person I was replying to already owns.

The GP said that they already essentially have 64GB+8GB of memory in their Intel MBP; but they don't, because it's not unified, and so the GPU can't access the 64GB. So they can only load 8GB-wide models.

Whereas with the M1 Pro/Max the GPU can access the 64GB, and so can load 64GB-wide models.


It seems I misunderstood.


One of my favorites from 1999 is October Sky. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0132477/


What's the title of the book?


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Feast_of_the_Goat

By Mario Vargas Llosa.

I can recommend it, very well written and structured, but note, that it is a work of fiction based on historic events. (and some historic events gets changed)


I've been toying with the idea of starting a newsletter. How can I measure the opening rate without tracking pixels?


Maybe you can't? Just a thought.


If all you want is simple pages why not use a simple html template?



As expected, they don't respond to the letter, but just take the opportunity to climb up on their free speech soapbox. Warner's letter doesn't suggest anything that would further threaten Gab's platform, just asks them not to shred the evidence of crimes that were committed on their platform.


>As expected, they don't respond to the letter

They did, if you recognize that they're playing the exact same game as Warner.

If Warner's office wanted to most rapidly and effectively ensure records are preserved by Gab, what would he have done? How many steps are there on the spectrum between (e.g.) contacting the capitol police to ensure that they have/will send such a request, and writing an open letter from a senator?

If gab were to respond to the body of Warner's letter, rather than play the game, it would say "Dear Senator: If you think there is any chance we didn't already get this request two days before you got around to sending your letter, you should focus the power of your office on fixing your federal law enforcement agencies."


Because the definition of nazi or white supremacist widens every day. What is acceptable today is racist next week.


It looks like you've been using HN primarily for political battle, or at least getting uncomfortably close to it. That's not allowed here—it destroys the curious conversation that this site is supposed to exist for. When accounts cross that line (see https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme... for more explanation), that's when we start banning them, regardless of which politics or ideology they're banning for.

I'm not going to ban you right now because as of a few months ago (say, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23644508 and further back) your account mostly wasn't abusing HN this badly though you were still doing it (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23609087 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23495773). Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and go back to using the site for its intended purpose, and please don't post any more flamebait.


Except the Apple comment I don't think I've been making political comments in threads where the topic wasn't political to start with.

And this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23495773 The OP literally asks for an unpopular opinion... You can't fault me for answering?

But you are right about me being too focused on political comments lately. I wasn't aware I was doing that.

Thanks for your work on HN.


This is a good read, if you only read one link of my post let it be this one: https://spectator.us/reasons-why-the-2020-presidential-elect...

It's my understanding Trump supporters are mad their concerns aren't taken seriously. Most court cases were dismissed on technicalities, without looking at the provided evidence or testimonies.

This is supposed to be the evidence: https://got-freedom.org/evidence/

One example, the Georgia video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ0xDWhWUxk And the comments about that video: https://thefederalist.com/2020/12/07/no-the-georgia-vote-cou...

Then there's this: https://twitter.com/MArepublican18/status/134659696972941721... https://twitter.com/Maximus_4EVR/status/1346582356899991552

PA & AZ Republicans wanting to decertify Biden after the election fraud hearings in their states. Not sure how serious those attempts are.

I'm European so I don't have a horse in this race.


Well, these are lists of claims, but they are unsubstantiated.

The question is, where is the evidence of fraud?

The people pursuing these issues need to go beyond tweeting or holding press conferences and bring evidence to court.

So far, that hasn’t happened.

At this point there’s been plenty of opportunity, so it doesn’t seem there’s evidence to substantiate this stuff.


We're in some really messed up limbo situation here. Reading all these back and forth comments, I can't even fathom what legitimate "evidence of fraud" would even look like other than super blatant ones. It's not like we'll find some guy holding a gun at a polling station and forcing people to vote one way.

If fraud is happening, and the people doing it don't want to get caught, then you won't find any blatant evidence unless they're sloppy. And even if they're sloppy, at most you'll find hints of what occurred. We have plenty of those.

But somehow in this whole back and forth mess, various facts/stories/details/testimony with various levels of validity/credibility that seem to question the integrity or hint at fraud occurring, are being dismissed with constant repetitive calls of "where is the evidence"?


"Someone pulled up cases out from under a table, so I can conclude it's full of fraudulent ballots.".

God damn, maybe I should just say I have this box full of bitcoin wallets in USB disks, someone want to give me a billion dollars for them? And yes, it's enough that you believe me without looking inside the box. Or checking the validity of those wallets.


I stopped reading the first article after this:

"We are told that Biden won more votes nationally than any presidential candidate in history. But he won a record low of 17 percent of counties; he only won 524 counties, as opposed to the 873 counties Obama won in 2008. Yet, Biden somehow outdid Obama in total votes."

>>Yet, Biden somehow outdid Obama in total votes.

If you look at the populations of these various counties it isn't puzzling at all.

It used to be that the tech companies where champions of free speech, the ideal. It changed when generation woke entered their workforce. There has been a generational change brought on by changed values in American universities. That's what really is happening.

> We asked whether people believe that citizens should be able to make public statements that are offensive to minority groups, or whether the government should be able to prevent people from saying these things. Four-in-ten Millennials say the government should be able to prevent people publicly making statements that are offensive to minority groups, while 58% said such speech is OK. Even though a larger share of Millennials favor allowing offensive speech against minorities, the 40% who oppose it is striking given that only around a quarter of Gen Xers (27%) and Boomers (24%) and roughly one-in-ten Silents (12%) say the government should be able to prevent such speech.

What a retconning farce this is. 40 years ago you could not publicly endorse recreational drug use, atheism, or interracial marriages without a substancial block of society chastating you as an incorrectable heathen.

Values change, what people find acceptable and what they do not find acceptable changes.


>What a retconning farce this is. 40 years ago you could not publicly endorse recreational drug use, atheism, or interracial marriages without a substancial block of society chastating you as an incorrectable heathen.

Imagine if the value that changed was that we treated people with different opinions with respect instead of changing the opinions that get you run out on a rail.


I'm not sure what your point is? As we seem to agree values change.


I'm not 100% sure either. I think maybe GP is suggesting that rather than being stalwart champions of free speech as you implied, boomers are just more racist and want to be free to say racist things.

Fortunately for all of us, it's not the general population of millenials or boomers who decide what speech the government gets to prevent; it's experienced justices, who tend to take the constitution much more seriously than the average person.

The statistic that 40% of millenials want laws preventing statements offensive to minorities is kind of baffling to me. Do you think they just don't understand the constitution, or do they want it rewritten to allow this kind of law?


> Do you think they just don't understand the constitution, or do they want it rewritten to allow this kind of law?

There is some talk about changing or repealing the first amendement. A good article about how this shift in values happened: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/09/the-cod...


No, it changed when capitalism got involved and realized it was more profitable to centralize, close themselves off, and gain a monopoly.


Thats an interesting definition of capitalism that excludes the part where the capital was accumulated. Probably that's why the libertarians say "free market capitalism" in order to exclude the mixed market and autocratic versions.


Don't blame the children; they don't know any better.
