It's meant to be a starting point:

"We expect the discussions around the shading language to be one of the most fun parts of the standardization process, and look forward to hearing community opinions.

For our WebGPU prototype, we decided to defer the issue and just accept an existing language for now. Since we were building on Apple platforms we picked the Metal Shading Language."
UX can't be a plug-and-play solution, because it depends on your business and the user's goals.

UX is figuring out what should be a main menu element and what shouldn't. Home and princing? Definitively. ToS and privacy policy? Not so much.

UX is making some elements stand out as they are. What's the best way to show links to users? Spoiler alert: blue color and underline. But then what happens when your brand color is blue and the design has a blue background? Then links won't stand out.

You could say that the UX plug-and-play solution is the way browsers handle the default CSS, add a few more styles and you got sites like CraigsList and Pinboard. And brutalism web design was born.

But that's the visual part about UX, you have to figure out what your users are feeling, and for most starting sites, feeling good is the selling point, so you have to understand their psyche and design towards it.
Would love to see some kind of status update on WebGPU from any of the participants. Is this the latest?

I think you have an idealized view of journalism and media that doesn't align with reality. Kick backs, side deals, "back scratching", etc has always existed in journalism and media. And it's not just journalists. The owners of media companies and editors also trade influence for money, access, etc. It's not just with brands/advertising, this also applies to their coverage of politics, sports, etc.
For touch that is true, for mouse and pen you still have to consider travel time.

What's your view on the prevalence of unsupported prejudice (racism, xenophobia, etc)?

I don't really understand why SJW groups don't sue people for their racist/"nazist" remarks, other than it's expensive.

There are some famous cases https://www.cnet.com/news/taking-trolls-to-court-lawsuit-tar... , but probably SJWs want instant gratification, hence the punching.

That doesn't make it acceptable, mostly because it's not even funny. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpyBPwCmfn0 )

Yes, it must. This is why speeds drop in downtowns and residential areas, because lower speeds provide more safety for pedestrians. A good human driver also takes account of this by reducing speed and paying better attention.

At the risk of sounding banal, I believe it's worth checking to see if you have a severe depression. Because that's how depression feels. There are people out there who derive great pleasure from writing uninspired code. Not only doesn't work need to be the main source of meaning in your live (in addition to providing income), its perceived value is heavily dependent on your psychological and physiologial condition. In fact, I'm afraid that, thae way you are now, you might not be able to enjoy yourself even if your situation changed for the better.

This is a bleak message, yet it's true: most people do not like their jobs very much. They can just deal with it because they're not totally depressed. And the reason is, surprisingly often, simple brain chemistry. At least try some more roads before talking of suicide.

Then you can increase the power consumption of all electronics by 50+% and halve the processing power. And that is optimistic.
Singularity used Software Isolated Processes. Basically the apps were distributed as .NET bytecode, compiled by Bartok on the target system to native code. That guaranteed that processes never accessed each other's memory so you wouldn't need regular process isolation.

I haven't thought about the implications to reading kernel memory but it'd be great to see a paper on the subject.
A lot of effort and resources go into reproducing the sound of music recordings from, say, the 1960s -- even though the music producers in the 1960s would probably have loved to have had today's technology instead!
Yes, my understanding is, at least in some cases, the fulfillment centers mingle items from different sellers. So, if you're buying "Band X Widget Y", and there are multiple "Fulfilled by Amazon" sellers, and one of those sellers introduces counterfeits, then the whole pool of Widgets is now suspect.
This is amazing - I've never run any kind of demos like this before in a browser (i.e. WebGL) that didn't immediately spin up all fans with 100%+ CPU usage for the browser. I ran the Shadertoy on a 4k monitor in full screen mode and CPU (as well as energy usage) was minimal, if noticable at all on my MacBook Pro. (Edited: Which means it's using the GPU only... that's the whole point here.)
In my experience, AliExpress is usually better than expected. Unless you go for the absolute cheapest the general quality is actually very high.

I bought some socks for example: for the price of cheap socks in a brick-and-mortar store I got some of the best socks I have ever owned.

I think AliExpress could do some really good bussiness if they were to add a QA person in the loop and would start selling 'premium' products under a different name. So far the median price/quality ratio of the things I bought has been very good (with a few duds, all gimicky electronic crap).
OneNote. The hierarchical breakdown of Notebook, Section, and Pages is quite useful. I use one page as a linear, chronological "Plan for today" journal, with links to subject matter on other Pages that naturally get organized into Sections (ML learning, Coursera - Scala, Health, Attitude / Thinking, etc;).

Evernote's Search is much better than OneNote's (Windows' Search), searching seamlessly even inside attachments, but I absolutely hate the look of Evernote pages; just a personal thing. Could be something as simple as Tahoma vs. Calibri, but I think it's more than that...OneNote really looks good to my subjective eye. Plus I like the keyboard shortcuts.

For PDFs, get really good at whatever Reader you use w.r.t. annotation tools. I love PDF-Xchange Viewer for annotation (a Windows product).
Not germane to the matter at hand, but an interesting side-note is that Harper Reed was also CTO for Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign.

(I also experience the "clicking" he refers to around 6:10 when I switch between QWERTY and Dvorak layouts. It takes about 15-30 seconds to switch, even after all the years I've been doing this, and I can "feel" it slide into place. This despite the fact that I use Swype (or whatever it is spelled as) on my phone all the time, which means I stay very familiar with the QWERTY layout every day... but somehow that qualifies as a different "thing", because I always get that instantly.)
I'm not sure the pressure to treat is a real issue. Some types of cancers (lymphoma for example) are only monitored in early stages. So if this would result in increased early detection, it might be a standard procedure to just keep an eye on the cancer, even for wider ranges. It's better than waiting for symptoms to appear (and the tendency for people to ignore the symptoms for a year before seeing a doctor).
I'd like to add onto this point.

Started cheffing at 17, always wanted to code, self taught enough to be qualified as a chef and get a job programming for a fairly large company by 22.

It sucked. As you said, waiting for assignments, no decision making and just another cog in a very large wheel.

Went back to cheffing, I've now travelled all over Australia, lived in Japan for 6 years, met a woman who became my wife and is currently pregnant with our first.

I may work 70+ hours some weeks, but it's fun. I have ran 3 restaurant successfully as an executive chef, now I'm helping a family member with a take away and loving it(haute cuisine food from a take away? Can't plate as I useto but damn it tastes good at an affordable price).

Long story short I'm enjoying life now, seems you need to broaden your horizons work wise more than how life just is.

P.s when I get the urge, I still have a massive side project I work on, so that training in coding, definitely not wasted :-)

I hope you find a better fit for you mate.
Perhaps this is Mozilla's implementation?

They have started to implement a prototype form of this. You can only be labeled as a verified sale, if they have received at least $50 from you in the past. Though that's still not enough to weed out all of the paid reviews written by professional reviewers.

And another questionable thing that is starting to happen more and more is that you get something for free from the seller if you leave a review. It's very difficult for Amazon to guard against this, because the offer is made in the parcel you receive.
But it means if you test negative you can just stop worrying about it completely.

There's only one problem with that - it's not true. The author cites no sources for his claim and every source I've found contradicts him. The average number of hours actually worked has slightly declined in the US and significantly declined in Europe over the past few decades. In the broader historical arc, there has been a huge increase in leisure; the average working week throughout the 19th century was well in excess of 60 hours.

Although most working parents report feeling rushed, the majority say that they spend the right amount of time with their children and that parenting responsibilities do not interfere with their career advancement. College-educated whites are, by some margin, the group most likely to report difficulties in balancing work and parental responsibilities.

We might feel like we're increasingly stretched by the demands of work and home, but that perception simply isn't supported by any data I've been able to find. I'm not saying that we've perfected work-life balance, but the overarching trend is substantially positive.

> more CPU vendors more risk averse

Seeing how Itanium went, their risk aversion seems pretty wise.

Itanium seems to satisfy most of your desires with its VLIW/EPIC architecture, which exposes much more to the compiler.
That's because invoices and receipts are different things (at least in the US). You typically get a receipt for a monthly credit card payment. An invoice may be an extra that is only offered for example with an annual contract, and may even have to be manually generated, and typically implies payment made separately (NET-30 etc.).

It is absurd how people actually do this all the time in Amazon product questions. Will it work with my Samsung phone? "I don't know." Does it come with batteries? "I think it did."
If you have the chance to save the life of a terrorist who is about to detonate a bomb, you should? If that terrorist tells you "my people have set other bombs just like this, your people will die horribly" do you choose to kill them, or torture then to potentially save the many others from death and mutilation? Or do you just say "oh, how naughty" and clean up the blood of the innocent people afterwards.

If we refuse to play at the terrorists game of death then their cause wins at the cost of billions of lives. Then they can continue to kill and maim over ever more nuanced positions.

In part the problem is that a (the, I suspect) major source of terrorists is adherents of Islam who follow Mohammed's example of murder, and his injunctions in the Koran, and hadith, to violently oppress. As long as that book exists to inspire the actions, and that man is treated as a model for others then we'll continue to have such problems.
The End of the Awl
I'm not sure I'd let the presidents off the hook. It's not entirely clear because much information isn't public, but from what is public it appears likely that at least Bill Clinton and George W. Bush authorized at least some cases of 'extraordinary rendition'.
With TV, I suspect we're seeing inertia or path dependence starting to break down in large numbers.

A lot of people did/do watch TV linearly out of habit. Plop themselves down on the couch and watch.

Would they have started doing that if they had a lot of other options? Maybe in some cases. (Don't underestimate the desire of some people to have something on in the background.) But probably a lot fewer.

Something similar applies to a cable bundle. I lot of people have it. It's probably the easiest way to watch live sports. It may also be bundled in with other services they use. Etc. Canceling probably means changing some habits and losing access to at least some content. But they wouldn't necessarily have called up Comcast or DirecTV and initiated a subscription if they didn't already have one.
There shouldn't really be any performance difference between WebGL and WebGPU in a ShaderToy-like example, given that only requires a single draw-call per frame. The API overhead should be utterly negligible in that case.

If WebGPU really does perform better in an apples-to-apples comparison (i.e. running the same shader) then there's something seriously wrong with Apples WebGL implementation.

edit: here's that example translated verbatim to WebGL if you want to compare: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/Mt2fRy

> It's a huge problem and it's eroding confidence in Amazon.

Personal opinion: They have consumer confidence to burn, and selling these products is almost pure profit. Amazon doesn't have to source or pay up front for these materials, and only has to pay a minimal storage/shipping fee on them (where they even store the items themselves).

It's hard to turn that kind of profit down, or to slim down the profit by adding more checks and balances.

"Feminist Majority Foundation" should be careful about what they wish for. Because feminism has benefited tremendous from anonymous discussion and anonymous support. For much of the world and even in much of the US, feminism is a reviled term and ideology.
> Every ounce of nuclear waste is entirely contained, every other power source's waste is dumped into the environment.

That's a little disingenuous, though, isn't it? It's only contained because no one will allow it to be dumped ("stored") near them. Actually, the fact that we have to take special precautions with nuclear waste due to its toxicity is a disadvantage of nuclear power vs. fossil fuels (for example).

Obviously, there is a much different calculus when thinking about Mars though.

Thanks, that's what I thought. Because there's no way Amazon are going to have separate bins for SKU's they sell, and those in the co-mingled "seller" bins; it'd be a huge waste of space, and they'd have a much less wider range of SKU's to punt.

Unregulated capitalism is not what's causing the massive inequality we see today. It's the financial and monetary policies. I'm not saying we shouldn't have regulations but the ones we have are centralizing wealth into the biggest corporations. If you look this modern massive growth of inequality doesn't really start until the 1970's after we whet off the gold standard and theirs an uptick in inequality every time the fed decides it needs to pump a bunch of money into the economy.

> You could've found them by reading the manual

Pretty much. Everything you needed to figure this out was public.

Just publishing stuff doesn't help much in areas this complex and specialized where there are a very small number of people who can really understand what is published.

There is also a major difference between reading a spec and discovering an exploit through an adversarial process.

Nobody who had complete access to confidential data (at Intel or anywhere else) figured this out. People on the outside working with an adversarial process did.

The adversarial process is driven by testing not documentation. There is no reason to think that the people who figured it out would have been aided by having more internal documentation.

For work I do under employment I tend to use org-mode and publish to whatever format suits them best. Often one of PDF, HTML, or Markdown.

I have been experimenting with using an org-mode based publishing system that syncs with my ReMarkable... it is taking over some of my note-taking. But I'm a chronic journal-keeper and have over a decade of notes and experience with my system.

I feel it is less directly cheapening all research and more bifurcating the term between engaged and unengaged audiences. The audience must decide when searching becomes researching, which I doubt is the second time you are feeling lucky.

If I google, find a primary source with reasonable data, and form an argument based on that, then I’ve done research. It was simply easier based on the Internet, but the research is not proof-of-work - a well-supported conclusion is just that no matter the effort.

On the other hand, I google, copy and paste the first link and parrot what it said - then I have indeed cheapened it. I’ve skipped the evaluation step of researching, wherein I convince myself of the “facts” of the past and I’ve also failed to extend any new thoughts as we’ve just parroted the argument.

My main point being, to a critical reader only “bad” research is cheap. It is also the duty of the audience, just as much the researcher, to evaluate what they read critically and respond with skepticism.

I recently read "Rules for Radicals" by Saul Alinksy, it's a book on how to go about politically organize communities. It's sort of like the underdog's machivellian Prince.
