If you are in the US, you can easily buy a prebuilt machine that comes with RTX2060 for $1100-1200. Check Dell/Lenovo or Costco. Buying the card independently is pretty much impossible/uneconomical. If you don't want the rest

The technical details are interesting but the emphasis on "1.7M savings" screams misdirection of resources, considering the salaries of SWEs/ML engineers and more importantly opportunity cost of them to deploy to an optimizat

This is a depressing thought to hear on a site titled Hacker News. Looking back at the past 20 years, I am quite confident it is just a matter of time before people get a couple drivers working fine on M1 systems (esp. considering Apple do

I wouldn't necessarily be as bearish on the one in Vietnam. The dynamics are very different. To wit, I have already purchased AirPods bearing Designed in California, Assembled in Vietnam markings a few months ago.

Point is there is (or at least was as of 1.5 years ago) way more negative coverage of Tesla than positive, accuracy aside, which contradicts GP's take. There's been enough outlets to show the bad side and it was the most shorted s

macOS/CoreAudio alone probably justifies Mac mini before performance comes into play at all. To say Mac mini is cheaper than alternatives matching in CPU performance is however still incorrect, though dangerously close. That’s all.

I used to think that way till I saw Google, which is pretty much the opposite, and now I understand it is important to take into account the cons as well as the pros [I'm still more biased towards the G model but less so than before].

I was comparing M1 to higher TDP chips, yes. If you take TDP into account M1 wins hands down, of course (unless your workload requires more than 16GB RAM). The context of this post is specifically the price-sensitive customer, not a TDP&#x2

I am a huge M1 fan but that statement is almost true, but not quite there yet. I have experimented with a number of prebuilt machines with AMD Ryzen 3600X/3700X, Intel i7-10700, and Apple M1. Those (esp 3700X) are often slightly ahead

The ARM releases of macOS are really similar to iOS and you can get ipsw files and update via USB (from another machine).

I think it started as a compromise measure to hamper down on collection of other more persistent device identifiers (through AppStore regulation) so in a way it was a step in the right direction when introduced.

While true, the closer Darwin is to Linux, it simultaneously eases implementation while disincentivizing doing it in the first place. Rarely you want to run a prebuilt standalone Linux binary on macOS; you just compile it to run on Darwin.
