So what you're saying is that the value of any asset that is not USD (stocks, bonds, commodities, real estate) is completely unknown, and the real "value" would be what that asset would sell for if every portion of it was instantly liquidated tomorrow?

That's not how economics work.

edit: I suppose all these stocks I'm holding are worth $0, since if every person selling them sold tomorrow the value would drop to that price.

React + (early flux and later mobx) made web development fun again for me. I was burned out at the end of the jquery era with all the different homemade structures and the limitations of browsers.

Then I came back to React and babel/gulp (later webpack). Suddently there was structure in the front end that was easy to get into a project and contribute. Building components just felt right. Also js was almost a modern language now and I could use it even if the browsers did not actually support it yet.
I teach a course at upenn on intro to javascript. Perhaps the most useful advice I give to my students is that often the simplest tools will get the job done i.e. you don't need React, Redux frontend stack because for most cases jquery will get the job done much quicker. Only worry about the frontend libraries when you feel it's getting out of hand, otherwise, the simple, straightforward tools will suffice.
There is no evidence here, just a respectable opinion.
> - The JavaScript ecosystem is still insane. Our project has ended up with one of the most complex build processes I've worked with (and I've worked with autotools).

God is that true. The JS ecosystem as a whole is actually, no BS, crazy, and their build jenga-tower especially is insane.

With RN, though, we've only really had problems with it when using Expo. Taking that out of our stack pretty much solved our periodic whole-day-wasting build problems, and excising it and other tightly-coupled libs freed us to upgrade RN from time to time, which is nice. A++++, would aggressively remove RN-specific 3rd party libs again.
Ok it looks like no, I just looked this up.

Compare tables:

ITRS 14nm - 42 - 42 - 70 - 56

Intel 14nm - 42 - 42 - 70 - 52

Samsung 10nm - 47 - 49 - 68 - 51

TSMC 10nm - ?? - ?? - 66 - 44

Samsung 10nm ~= Intel 14nm by dimensions (actually a bit worse). No idea how you'd go about benchmarking this stuff.

So it appears as though Intel is still ~years ahead of others, as they've been shipping 14nm for 3 years, and Samsung just started shipping this year (but they called it 10nm so they don't look as bad).
> The last thing we need is another down-in-the-weeds language for bit twiddling.

I disagree. Currently, the best programming language for "bit twiddling" is C, and throughout the years C has essentially remained the same language that was developed four decades ago. In spite of C remaining one of the most popular programming languages in history, the language could be improved.

Graydon Hoare and the good people at Mozilla Research have decided to put in the legwork themselves and pick up the slack. They managed to do a commendable job, and the quality of their work is being increasingly recognized. The reason is quite clear: the whole world was eagerly looking for "another down-in-the-weeds language for bit twiddling" that helped circumvent the lack of progress imposed on the C programming language. Rust does just that and more.
I'll quibble back several things:

Clojure has immutability on top of atoms/refs/agents, so while Rust is doing Nerf mutation with the borrow-checker, Clojure avoids it in the first place.

That, and generally I think threads are overused. Mostly because spawning a new process has been needlessly slow in the past (especially on Windows). Even in C-land, I've seen so many cases where forking and IPC would be more than fast enough, yet far safer.

And getting back to the hardware aspect, having a single thread and a badass SIMD instruction is usually faster and easier to reason about than multiple threads and general-purpose instructions where your performance gets fetch-execute-cache-hierarchy-memory-bandwidthed to death.

Worst of all, I think this entire mode of computing survives primarily due to marketing reasons. Explaining how something works smarter rather than harder is a difficult sell. Printing "MORE CORES!" "MORE GIGAHERTZ!" on a brochure is an easy and effective way to make the sale.
It's a way to wean yourself off of Google or quickly see results from a different perspective. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just an easy way out for people who don't trust ddg just yet.

I could not agree more with your comment on all counts.

You just have to remember that a big corporation is interested in making profit, and always more profit. IT is just another cost center that must be reduced, year after year. They are actively cutting budgets and "downsizing".

Yes, they are cutting corners and doing an atrocious job. That's the real world.

Solar can save a lot of money over 30 years, but current homeowners have to pay the initial cost. Solar initial costs are much more than composite and homeowners may not stay long enough to make it worthwhile. Also, they may not recoup their investment when they sell the home.

The desire to constantly switch JS frameworks is really confusing. I find each one different, exciting in their own way and fun to learn. However, and this is a big however, none of them radically change the work you'll create, so I'm happy with React, and not interested in learning just to learn. Maybe in a year or two, I'll try Vue, it won't be too hard to pick up.

If you're at BigCo making internal apps, each one is basically dressing on a way to make various interactive UI states. How you get there is no big deal. How the data flows is no big deal. What test runner you use is no big deal.

As a JS dev, my passion is to learn completely non-JS related things. Cryptography, Blockchain, CS Fundamentals I missed. These are much more interesting than the churn.

A couple clarifications:

- She is talking there about the PATENTS grant in React and most other Facebook software, not about GraphQL.

- This is immediately preceded by a mention of the Apache Foundation. When she says it could conflict with Apache, it either means Apache Foundation projects (since they wouldn't be able accept contributions without reversing their stance), or she's suggesting that Apache Foundation might issue future revision of the license that specifically breaks compatibility. Because as of right now, there is no conflict with Apache-the-License, only Apache-the-Foundation, and it doesn't really matter how Apache Foundation feels about Facebook's PATENTS grant wrt license compatibility. The conflict is a policy one, not a legal one.

Stopped reading right there. CSS-in-JS is one of the main reasons I'm even using React to begin with.
Yes, frameworks are tools, but they're typically overspecialized and poorly designed. If vanilla JS is a cnc machine, Angular is an injection mold for a toy truck. If you're building a toy truck, that's awesome.

If you're building anything else, say, a hand mixer, you're going to spend just as much time on the cnc machine trying to design toy truck whisk attachments as you would have spent just building a new mold with the incredibly powerful cnc you already have.
Agreed.

Totally. And if it's a terrible idea, then it will die a quiet death, and that will be fine. But there's a little more here than just "don't try this at home."

The Apache license is a wonderful license. If you want to use it, you absolutely should use it.

But people don't use it. They prefer to use something they can understand, something that doesn't have to be interpreted by a legal team, and something that they can feel comfortable imposing on the users of their code.

According to a 2015 survey conducted by Github, MIT and BSD simple licenses are nearly five times more often used than Apache. Out of the top ten most starred open source projects, nine of them use MIT/BSD, and only one uses Apache.

Clearly, there's a desire — in the actual practice of sharing open source — for something that explains your legal and social obligations in as plain an English as we can muster, while still being crystal clear in legal terms.

Me too I had a Series 0. Then the battery inflated and cracked the display open about 3 months ago. Would have been about 200$ to repair, as it's out of warranty.

Exactly! We are working on n-dimensional and time-series object visualizations in a coming build.
I agree.

Within the "metaconsiousness" definition provided int he article, I think it very likely that the distinction is more of an illusion than anything else.

attention is the key to distinguish between unconscious thought and conscious thought

Say we're learning to operate a car... You are very "aware" of steering and pedals and gears. After a while, you start just thinking in terms of forward, this way, stop, faster. The mechanics start to be handled "subconsiously"^ as you go along. Awareness/attention then gets drawn back if something goes wrong, say your gear sticks. A lot of learning seems to be like this. Aware & consious actions repeated until it becomes subconsious. I think this process is gradual. More importantly, the observable outputs are very hard to stack neatly into two piles.

On top of that we have the problem of fooling ourselves. If I asked you "why did you change lanes?" you will probably give me an answer, but a lot of expirements suggest that answer is made up after the fact.

I think it's more likely that metaconsiousness is made of the same stuff as subconsiousness. It's just the type of consiousness that we notice (tautology?) and consider to be us.

TLDR, I agree that the more important breakthroughs will probably be at the worm consiousness level, but that is itself a theory of consiousness.

^As mentioned below, it's a problem using, defining and speculating about these terms simultaneously. I'm doing it anyway, but yeah...

That's part of my point though. You had to know Σ means sigma to search that in the first place. If you search "what does Σ mean" or "what does symbol Σ mean" you get answers for lowercase sigma saying standard deviation.

At the very least it means it takes 2 searches, one to find the name of a symbol, and a second to search using that, sometimes I can't do that if the notation is an image of TeX output. Then it becomes "what does box symbol with line through it mean" or something.

Thankfully StackExchange now renders math notation in a way that can be copy pasted, but still, here's an example I was reading recently that started as an ascii email chain and moved to stackexchange, I feel like it was more easily readable before.

But are you adjusting for inflation or comparing 1997 dollars to 2017 dollars?

(which you can do here:)

JIT translation has come a long way and MS plans to do exactly this with x86 software runnning on ARM in the near future. It’s not impossible that A12s with custom silicon working in concert with software JITing could provide a decent experience.

I would be a lot of work though. You don’t just have to translate the compiled user apps, you need to make things like AirPlay work, and that's an example of a feature that uses specific hardware acceleration. And some things like Thunderbolt might not work at all without Intel’s help.

They don’t sell hundreds of millions of macs. It might not be worth it. Why not just wait a year? It’s not like Windows laptops have access to better chips than they do.
In the global economy, resources are not constant. Every time you do some work, you add value to the system.

The problem is that with bitcoin, the total amount of currency is fixed, which means that when value is added to the system, you the value of the bitcoin has to increase.

You might think that not having inflation sounds like a great idea, but the problem is that unless the total amount of currency increases to match the value of the system you will not end up with zero inflation, you'll end up with deflation.

Deflation is really bad, because it encourages people to sit on their cash instead of spending it, and an economy without spending means that more value is not added to the system.

Of course, I am arguing against people who I have heard who suggests that bitcoin is all we need and it can take over all currencies in the world. That seems more or less impossible based on what I just said.

Perhaps cryptocurrency is the future of finance, I have no opinion on that, but if it is, I don't see that it would be bitcoin.
> We still approach it by trying to simulate the underlying physics of light: the transport algorithms, radiance sampling, and so on. But between the RGB textures that have nothing to do with nature and the physics approximations that we're forced to settle with, something ends up lost in translation.

You keep talking about rendering being the problem and yet you acknowledge that photos can be indistinguishable from reality and motion being the hard problem. Do you not see the disconnect in your own argument? Light simulation isn't the issue, motion simulation is. Movement and model and texture complexity all have a long way to go.

The people practicing graphics in research and in production know what the problems are, they are aware of the approximations they are making, they know what they need to make graphics more realistic, and they are making conscious choices of where to spend their limited budgets. The big problems just aren't due to light transport or radiance sampling, your pet theory seems ignorant of what's going on in CG practice today. If you would just talk to (and listen to) some production people and researchers...

You're still ignoring the fact that realism in CG in increasing. There's a clear trend, and we are closing the gap on the details that make CG look unrealistic. The standards are higher now than last year, which was higher than the year before. Realism has always increased every year, and yet at no time was the increase due to a fundamental change in multiplying colors together.
From Intel themselves [1] TSMC and Samsung 10nm are denser than Intel 14nm. But they're closer to Intel 14nm than Intel 10nm. We'll have to see when it ships, but the expectation is that Intel 10nm will be ahead of TSMC/Samsung in density.

However, both TSMC and Samsung already ship 10nm, so it's also an important point to keep in mind. And then their 7nm processes are expected to leapfrog Intel 10nm. More details in [2], keeping in mind it's mostly announcements and estimations, so keep the salt at hand.
