NASA has blown up a lot of RS-25s over decades in testing to get to that point. And a couple of Shuttles. When half your components have decades of reliability under their belt of course it’s easier to have a successful first launch. If you

Why would there be single family detached homes in a city center?
814.
by stetrain 3y ago
There is also over-regulation of the supply. Zoning that makes it difficult to build any thing other than single family homes and corporate apartment buildings surrounded by parking lots. HOA's that require proof of 3x rental as income

Is it not more noteworthy to be have been convicted, and then have that conviction overturned a decade later, than to have been correctly not convicted in the first place? The former is an injustice that was corrected. Yes it's good th

Well yes. There is more demand for housing in urban areas than there is room for detached single family homes. Either prices will continue to increase beyond the affordability of those raising families, or density can increase. That's
818.
by stetrain 3y ago
More dense construction in urban areas will probably help make single family homes affordable for those who want them. I imagine people who own single family homes in nice suburbs are pretty happy about it, especially if they bought it when

That would make sense, but they also didn't break out battery life ratings between the Pro and Max chips, both are listed as 18 hours. I suspect the Pro will have longer battery life in real world testing but we haven't seen that

In my experience Apple news relies entirely on the app for reading articles, so if you are on a computer without the app or following a link that doesn't auto-redirect to the app then you still hit the paywall. I'd rather have a s

My personal experience with this has been that paying for a subscription still gets me inundated with ads and marketing (often more now that I'm on their official mailing list), is still inconvenient since I may not be logged in to eve

If you came home and your property had been taken by force, you wouldn't complain? You wouldn't be furious, and try to get it back?

I think it comes down to the same reasons people pay insane housing costs to live in major cities rather than buying a $50k house in the rustbelt. The former is often more net profitable due to job prospects, despite the higher cost of livi

You think you have a right to take something by force, but the other person doesn't have a right to be furious about it and try to take it back?

Oh for sure. The value return per dollar gets worse the higher you go up Apple's options list. Especially their RAM and SSD upgrade prices.

But I'm not hypothesizing losing YouTube. I feel like you've imagined an argument that I haven't made."not so beholden to YouTube" does not mean leaving YouTube or replacing or killing it. From an individual standpo

I have not said that any of these expansions outside of Youtube are a replacement or alternative for Youtube, especially for content discovery. Nor am I necessarily supporting adblockers, except in sympathizing that Youtube's ad experi

A cope for what? I was just responding to the idea that "I think many content creators have recognized that it's important to expand their brand outside of youtube so they're not so beholden to YouTube." Do you disagree

It felt like half the event was listing different types of workload and saying that the new chips were 15-20% faster than the M2 generation at that task, and 30-40% faster than the M1 generation. The only real exception to that is the M3 Pr

14" MBP with the highest M2 Max configuration, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD was $3899. A new model with the same configuration is also $3899.

They don't have to destroy their own metrics as a whole to drive away your niche audience as an individual creator. I can certainly imagine scenarios that would increase Google's metrics, user base, and ad revenue while causing pr

From my experience with M1, M1 Max, and M2 Max laptops, I think the only real limitation to useful longevity of the M1 machines is configured RAM and Apple's willingness to provide software updates. A point in its favor is that Apple i

20% performance increases generation over generation, every 18 months or so, seems pretty great to me. If people were expecting gains like the Intel to M1 transition on an annual basis I'm not sure that was ever realistic.

For the M3 and M3 Pro, they kept the same number of cores or in the case of the Pro actually decreased them. On the other hand, the M3 Max gained 4 Performance cores for a total of 16 cores (12P 4E) vs the M2 Max's 12 cores (8P 4E). Th

As an individual creator you can make that decision, but if YouTube as a whole annoys your viewer base to the point that they use YouTube less then you have a problem.

Right, the two M3 Max SKUs being discussed above are the ones with 300GB/s and 400GB/s memory bandwidth. That sounds like 3 memory controllers vs 4 memory controllers, likely due to chip binning. TSMC's 3nm processes supposed
838.
by stetrain 3y ago
Wild guess but if the base chip has 3 channels and the higher binned chip has 4 channels: 3x6GB = 18GB 3x12GB = 36GB 3x32GB = 96GB 4x12GB = 48GB 4x16GB = 64GB 4x32GB = 128GB

In previous gens they had different die sizes with different physical numbers of memory controllers and connections. Guessing it's similar here. Rumor is Apple bought all of TSMC's initial 3nm production. They are probably yield l

They've been doing more multiples of 6/12 lately, I supposed it's related to the available chip sizes for the LPDDR5X. M2 and M3 go up to 24GB M3 Pro is available in 18GB and 36GB M3 Max is available in 36GB, 48GB, 64GB, 96GB
