You're certainly correct for, say, highly-controlled benchmarks but don't discount subjective user experience. I've heard _far_ more M1 users talk about the subjective feel compared to even the previous generation MacBook hardware whereas it's been a long time since I've heard that about an Intel to Intel upgrade (basically since the Core -> Core Duo period) other than people with GPU-heavy needs and that seems like an interesting data-point to me.
I do wonder how much of that is just getting a nice new laptop? If the average user was handed the equivalent laptop with an Intel CPU but told it was an M1 would they notice? Would they also think it was nice and fast?
Here is why I think your hypothesis is not true: people were buying new Macs also before M1, but it did not generated the same reactions. So newness is not the cause of this or at least it is not the only cause.
Did Apple not market new hardware for a decade prior to M1? I don’t think this is sufficient to explain the difference, especially given the supporting benchmarks.
Possibly but it feels like that should have but has not happened to anything like this degree when people were getting shiny new Intel CPUs after the early 2010s.
That's fine, just understand that your moral intuition isn't universal.
If there were some device (which doesn't exist and maybe can't) which simply lights up with perfect accuracy when pointed at someone who tortured someone before murdering them, I would support instant execution of that person by firing squad.
I'm not willing to accept a 4% error rate however. I'm not sure how low it would have to go, but it's lower than it plausibly can.
This isn't some kind of lack of "understanding" on my part, and you're not going to "teach" me to feel the same way about this issue as you do. We have different values. So you'll have to content yourself with my being on the same side of the policy question for different reasons.
I thought about this topic for decades now.when I was 16 I thought you should murder a murderer.
I thought a lot about moral and ethics, the balance between being right and no right exists.
So I do believe your thinking can and might change in the future.
Your torture example still ignores the history of the torturer. Would you like to be killed after this from a society which had it easier and better then you and did not help you? Is that really fair to anyone?
Do you believe in a god? Would you assume jesus would let you in after that? (I'm not religious, I do think so that either it's a good god and it doesn't matter believing in her but your actions)
Do you believe that we are in a simulation? What if you wake up in your next life as a murderer?
There are so many potential thoughts which we haven't thought through that removing a murderer from society to prison is the best choice we have as long as it is a prison who tries to rehabilitate a person.
I don't know how anyone can acknowledge that moral intuitions aren't universal while simultaneously believing their moral intuition can be used to justify the death penalty.
Bitcoin mining becomes less profitable the more people do it.
At some point it gives you exactly as much as you pay for energy to mine.
So if you can store electricity in the batteries for long enough to sell it for more than pruce of purchase then you are better off investing in the battery.
But since batteries are expensive and inefficient, you might be better off investing in the wind turbine or solar panel and mine with it if you can't sell energy to the grid for more money.
It's better than battery because when demand is high it gives energy, but it doesn't have to take energy when demand is low and it keeps itself financially afloat even when there's no high demand for a long time which might kill your battery energy storage enterprise.
I know about at least one pumped storage facility that died because of that.
Yes let's ignore that I'm living on the same planet as you do and it doesn't affect myself and my family.
Right?
And no we don't live in a society where this doesn't matter. You are not allowed to do with your money whatever you want.
Buying a hitman: illegal in most of the world.
And you do understand that it is hypocritical to create a ton of co2 and making farming in other countries really hard and complaining later about immigrants. Just putting it in perspective
How on Earth is comparing this to hiring a hitman reasonable?
If your point is that you can't spend money on illegal things, bitcoin is not illegal.
Also, who complained about immigrants? Where did this come from. And even if immigrants/farming had any relevance to the discussion co2 is likely to increase crop yields.
Hot code replacement, which I have already and still use since 2005 works very well as well.
In php, debugger are half as good but code replacement works immediately.
I would rarely use print debugging and in Java never.
