You're overcomplicating it. It's just Capitalism. Someone made a $5B bet and it didn't payoff. It's nothing more than that.

Netflix Where can I read about the storage drives used at Netflix? I know there’s info on the Gbps they push, and using AMD chips, and FreeBSD. But I haven’t read anything about their storage setup.

Short answer: you don't - it's no different than if you worked in an office. (most companies don't allow bringing your baby to the office, why would WFH be any different)

Since the only real difference is number of GPUs, it'd be: - photo/video editing - games, or - AI (training / inference) that would benefit from the extra GPUs.

I guess that implies the MacBook Air won't be updated this week. Makes me wonder what else will be updated this week (Studio or Mac Pro)?

National Geographic even created a TV show 5-years ago specifically on this topic. "Lost Cities with Albert Lin" (2019) It's an 11-episode show where they use Lidar in each episode to find lost cities. https://www.

Lidar has been finding a lot of lost cities. Not discounting this finding. It's just becoming more common.

If your Mac Studio is breathing that in, so are you. Please take care of your health. Just saying as a fellow HN friend.

It's not just RAM. It's Unified RAM. So that memory is also used for the GPU & Neural Cores (which is for Apple Intelligence). This is actually why companies moved away from the unified memory arch decades ago. It'll be

Where do you see the 14-core version detailed on the spec sheet? I don't see it stated with the specific P vs E cores are for the 14-core version on: https://www.apple.com/mac-mini/specs/

No M4 on the spec sheet. Maybe Apples CDN cache is stale but I only see M2 specs on that page.

Does anyone know how many P vs E cores? 10 core = 4 P and 6 E 12 core = 8 P and 4 E <-- 2.0x P core over base 14 core = 10 P and 4 E <-- 2.5x P core over base EDIT: Updated with known P and E amounts. Thanks HN for

Apple would rather you buy a Studio Display. If a 27" iMac did exist, it makes the comparison to the Studio Display now a bit odd - because they'd both cost roughly the same price but one has a computer and one doesn't.

by alberth 2y ago
Does it though? The iMac is basically the same as the M4 iPad Pro, and the iPad Pro doesn't have a chin.

I'm glad to see Nano-Texture coming to their budget line. That was definitely unexpected.

Rust comes with memory safety. It's one less potential cause that might bring down the entire Erlang VM.

Do you mean Rustler? Yes, it's Apache 2.0 https://github.com/rusterlium/rustler

by alberth 2y ago
Hence why Rustler is of so much interest since it provides more protections against this happening. Discord is a big Erlang + Rustler user.
