> as more and more municipalities ban homeless camps if that's a possible endgame, the law should have been to ban being homeless

Sleep with the door open, if opening a window isn't an option. At least you won't be hotboxing yourself with CO2 in a tiny area


idk, I'm an american and I get all my news from HN (the most reputable news site on the entire world wide web)


Am I crazy to think that the claim of private cloud compute running M chips is marketing fluff? Is their ARM based SoC really as performant as a GPU at the scale they need?


Does it need to be? When they can use their own SoC servers, they don't have buy hardware from other vendors or rent cloud compute capacity.

So it only needs to be so efficient that it will still cost less than those other options.


I think these days Apple Silicon is more of an umbrella term for the packaging of their CPUs, GPUs and NPUs.


If they wanted to, why wouldn't they make a modified, specialized, server rack version of their hardware?


Internally it’s Project ACDC – Apple Chips in Data Centers.

No real details.


No one said they are M chips. These would be custom made for servers and AI inferencing. Also note their "ARM based SoC" has a GPU with 800 GB/sec bandwidth in the M2 Ultra.


Not that it's a real source, but TFA states:

>These data centers will also run completely on Apple’s M chips


That guy is just some random blogger and I wouldn't take that to literally mean they use the same chips as a Macbook. Apple only says they use "Apple Silicon". Common sense to assume it is designed for servers and AI inferencing.


Pretty sure shopify went all in on facebook Workplace, and this purchase has a lot to do with that shutting down


Does Recall run entirely locally? I don't think your browser history gets sent out


The vulnerability is that the first thing any malware that happens to run on the PC will do is upload the Recall database, giving the attacker your entire usage history since installation (and of any other user account on the same PC). This can then be analyzed for worthwhile targets for scams and blackmailing.


I expect it does, if you're using Chrome outside of Incognito Mode. Iirc, there is an opt-out about "web history" on the google account - which then disables some other things so that it annoys enough people into keeping it on.


It does, that's why it needs an NPU to run.


It does, but who's to say insights in gains won't ever be sent back and used/sold?


My browser history does. It's synchronized with every edge instance that I have running. I can open up the tabs from my mobile browser on my desktop and I could see the browser history from everything on everything.


I'm sure most normal, non-hn crowd users will not care. They have facebook or tiktok, etc installed on their phone and use it daily.


Their other maps are sick too. Is there a term for these types of visualizations, where some data is visualized in a "non-standard" way in the context of the data?


Thanks for asking this. I was thinking very similarly after reading comments in the post about the new AMD processors yesterday and not understanding most of them, and another about some networking stuff


Would you download a car?
