Which of intel's competitors that make mobile chips are doing as well as intel? Please give me an example. I gave you numbers for QCT which makes mobile chips.

TMSC and Samsung are going to spend money on R+D on chips irrespective of what intel does. Intel has a moat in the x86 market it has none in the ARM world. Read porters 5 forces and you will see why going into the mobile world made no sense for them.

In my opinion Intel throwing money at lower margin business would not make sense to me. I guess we will find out what happens in the future.

Interestingly, while the Carnot Limit is derived using heat engines, it applies to any "device" that extracts energy from a temperature difference. If it were not so, then one could place, for example, a thermoelectric device between two energy reserves at different temperatures and use it to power a Carnot heat pump to drive the temperature difference higher, or to sustain the temperature difference and extract work. This is a perpetual motion machine, violating the thermodynamic laws of which the Carnot Limit is a manifestation. (It is a general result, obtained from hypothetical devices.)

One can sort of "feel" this result by imagining the voltage pushing a cloud of electrons around a circuit, producing shaft work in an electric motor, and/or heat if there is any electrical resistance.

This is a bogus comparison though. A bridge has one obvious use and can't be picked up and re-used in many other bridges. An OS (particularly an open source one) has nearly unlimited uses beyond the realm of the author's control.

Firefox didn't exist in 2003, it was released in November 2004. Before then, the name of the browser was Phoenix. It had tabs since version 0.1, released in September 2002. Later it was renamed Firebird and then Firefox.

Pre-tabs I probably had only 40 windows open at a time.

A lot of schools offer certificates, if you are looking for vocational training

https://extension.berkeley.edu/public/category/courseCategor...

(among others)

but my point here is just that college is... not vocational school. Which isn't to say it's worthless, there are lots of good reasons to go to college, and a lot of people feel they get a lot out of it; I'm just saying that if you want vocational education and you go to college, you are not really using the right tool for the job.

I don't have a degree myself, and I dunno, I do pretty okay. I probably would do better if I were the sort of person who went to college; but I do a lot better than a lot of people who are that sort of person, so who knows?

I personally want the non-monetary bits of college, but that's mostly... hobby, you know? I like reading. I like talking about books. It really does sound like a lot of fun.

Monetarily, though, getting a degree wouldn't get me a raise. It might help me twenty years out, say, or if I spent a lot of time unemployed, as a degree loses it's value much more slowly than a job at a prestigious place, but I don't think a degree has a higher value in the short term than a job at a prestigious place.

Crypto and venture’s biggest names are backing a new blockchain from Oasis Labs
My friends think its passion, but really I just forced the medicine down until it became habit, then a permanent fixture, and now is familiar and relaxing. I love learning new things but the "passion" idea is really just me exploring the nuanced depths of a topic I now know a lot about, and that seems to be fulfilling enough that it can masquerade as "passion" to outsiders.
I'm not sure if this counts, but here is a blog I wrote from 2007 to 2013 and then stopped. It's called 'The Design of Homes' and is mostly about housing design in the UK (the site domain expired, hence the archive.org link).

https://web.archive.org/web/20170626051806/http://designofho...

Why did I stop writing the blog? Mostly because no-one was reading! I thought I was immune to the idea that an audience wasn't necessarily important. However, I realised that, although the size of the audience didn't matter, the interest and engagement of readers did matter.

I have no connection to the field of (mass) housing design and architecture, but I loved to read books and research papers on the topic.

By the way, it's true what they say: if you can write down what you've learnt (or think you have absorbed from reading) you'll not only remember it more firmly, but you'll understand it more deeply too. And you'll be able to talk about that subject with much more confidence.
Define passion. Your better off understanding your fundamental drives beyond basic primal urges. Is it money? It is power? Is it helping others? Is it praise from others?

My own personal experience is this. I did engineering, then worked in various parts of the hardware/software stack and found myself in finance. I have no real interest in finance, but much more in economics. I love economics. I have this deep desire to understand why we do the things we do and why the world works the way it does today
Diabetes technology teardown – The tools I use to manage my blood sugar
The early internet I used was just as barely usable as the Ethereum network is now. I remember being in the college computer lab and begging on simple things like a page to load. Just a few years later and I was able to watch videos on the computers streaming from the internet. Technology rapidly advances. I still realized back in those computer labs how revolutionary the internet was going to be, I feel the same way about crypto now.
If you already know that the hammer is the best way to solve it, why wouldn't you ask them to solve it with a hammer? Using the right tool is tricky and there are cases where console.log is more efficient than a debugger:

- It's a debugger you're not used to

- The stack/application is complicated and works weirdly with the debugger (e.g. exceptions are captured and stack traces are lost)

- Many things are happening at the same time so it's quicker to scan through 100 lines of output than stepping through 100 breakpoints.

I know how to use a debugger, but I also know how to console.log in such a way that I can quickly scan the output, or output a DOT file so I can visualise the flow and data as a graph.

Now that is the thing that should be fixed, instead of taking it to absurdity (i.e. immutability).
The article's use of the word "flaw" is overstated.

For background, here are some selected quotes from the article:

> "The first part, which you're reading right now, will set up what RL is and why it is fundamentally flawed."
> "In the typical model of RL, the agent begins only with knowledge of which actions are possible; it knows nothing else about the world, and it's expected to learn the skill solely by interacting with the environment and receiving rewards after every action it takes."
> "how reasonable is it to design AI models based on pure RL if pure RL makes so little intuitive sense?"

To summarize, the article claims that this particular aspect of RL is a "flaw".

I'd suggest it is more useful to call it a design choice. In many cases, this design choice has beneficial properties.

Of course, there are other ways to build learning agents. The field of RL is certainly open to alternatives, including hybrid models and/or relaxing this particular assumption.

I've seen a good number of (popular) articles about RL making rather broad claims, like this article. It appears to me that many of these articles attempt to 'reduce' RL to a smaller/narrower version of itself in order to make their claims. I hope more people start to see that RL is a set of techniques (not a monolith) that can be mixed and matched in many ways for particular applications.

thank you for pointing that out
It seems you've mastered some dark art unknown to an entire industry, you should totally write a book

Meanwhile I'll rely on the smelly old debugger to dig me out of threading weirdness, memory corruption, resource leakages, other people's bugs, and to provide a window into a combinatorially massive input-dependent state my feeble mind simply can't fathom while writing tests for a tiny corner of a typical system that in aggregate amounts to millions of LOC.
That's still event handling. You can do basic binding between outputs and values, but more macroscopic changes (closing a dialog, changing tabs, etc) requires tracking the state your UI is in, and manually transitioning.

This is markedly different than React, where the framework diffs the desired UI state (which is a pure function of your application state), and the actual UI state. The minimal number of UI operations necessary is then applied to make the latter match the former.

ImGui above works the same way, which makes it very popular for devtools in game development.
The world, from software’s perspective at least, isn’t growing in complexity. What leads one to that?
Is there any way I can convince you to slow down with the aphorisms and broad cross-cutting references? I find myself straining to make sense of your comments, even though I do feel they make some kind of sense.

Obviously you're free to do as you wish. I just wanted to note that it's incredibly frustrating in a way that most comments here aren't, and it seems needlessly so.

EDIT: I'm sorry, I realize this might be considered a personal attack. It's quite possible I'm just really tired. I just find it frustrating that I feel like I can't make sense from stuff that I feel does somehow make sense. It reminds me of the time I tried understanding Deleuze.
They didn't make a simple "if you can't use developer tools X way then I'm not hiring you" statement.

>So far, two ways to pass:

Would mean that they understand there are a hundred different paths to solve a simple problem. What is being looked for is familiarity with the tools you are expected to know. And littering a shit ton (not just a simple "Started-HH:MM:SS.mmm" or "Stopped-HH:MM:SS.mmm" with timestamps) of console.log statements when you first start debugging is a pretty fair red flag.
It seems to be somewhat particular about relation IDs. I have it working for Palo Alto, with relation ID 1544955. If you want to try this for your city, I recommend zooming in the city on openstreetmap.org, clicking the "Query features" button on the right side of the map (it's the cursor with a question mark icon), and clicking within the boundaries of you city. On the left side, a list of features will appear. Scroll down to enclosing features, and click on the appropriate entry. A relation name and number will be displayed at the top, with the OSM data below.

I hope this stays within the Overpass API server's usage limits. Processing Palo Alto caused the page to download ~85 MB from overpass-api.de, which asks users to stay below 10k queries and 5 GB per day. The OSM wiki lists other servers, some of which allow heavier usage.[0]

We also think that 1+1=2. Of course no social matter is as simple as this, but at the same time that increased complexity can not then be used as an excuse to try to argue that anything is possible - because it most certainly is not.

In general, when a social system collapses unless everybody abides it - it's going to collapse. This is not something you can just 'progress beyond.' We are individuals, and always will be. And there is practically nothing that everybody, onto perpetuity, will always and forever agree on.

>But I would put $10 down that if I asked you to assert that all medical software in current use that has never killed a patient because of its software issues is therefore "correct", you'd walk back hard. You'd have to be crazy to assert that all such software is "correct".

I made no such assertion. That's a straw man.

But I think I can safely assume that if the patient dies as a result of the software's functioning, that software is not "correct".

You may disagree, but I think it's preferable to have a patient kept alive by an overly-complex system than killed by a simple, elegant, incorrectly functioning one.

Not to be intentionally blunt or snarky, but I think Drew DeVault's post was a bunch of rambling, hand-waving nonsense. Until today, I wouldn't have expected anyone to seriously argue that simplicity is more important than correctness. But he comes along and makes that very argument, with a self-assured, authoritative tone, but very little in the way of concrete reasoning, and to my surprise, the number of people on HN who apparently agree with him is non-zero.

None of those apply to their fizzbuzz-level question.

I’m guessing you don’t have much experience with front-end code if you think this is Chrome tooling specific.

It’s really the equivalent of reading a stack trace to get an idea of where to look instead of wolf-fencing off the bat with println. “I would’ve read the stack trace if I knew you wanted me to!” wouldn’t be a good defense, likewise.

Yes, you can teach someone to read stack traces on the job. If-statements, too. And how to write their first function. But that’s not the skill level you’re always looking for.
If they were working on it, though, one would think they'd be delivering updates to show their progress.

Thoughts on Taste
I'd describe it more as a palpable malaise. Teams feel like they're on islands 1000 miles apart from one another. You can feel it in the air the moment you enter any organization like this (if you know what the other side feels like).

A massive organization that has gone stagnant tends to exhibit the same mechanics. You're on a team solving a problem for a stakeholder. You might not know who the stake holder is or where they are. You might meet your real stakeholder once every month or never. If your company is process minded they'll create proxy stakeholders to create the illusion of task identity.

Proxy stakeholders are the worst. Since the gizmo you're working on isn't for them, any enthusiasm for your work is feigned. They're your only line to the person(s) that actually care(s). The human connection between you, your labor and its consumer is severed, isolating you further. This puts the employee on a slalom to resentment and alienation. The better your proxy is, the shallower the grade, but you'll end up there eventually.

Despite the fact I've seen quite a few successful techniques to obviate this eventuality, 99% of companies don't have a symbol in their minds for the trajectory and it happens anyways. The flat org chart thing is an interesting cudgel to solve the problem, I'm convinced it's not the best solution.
I don't think this is the form of correctness discussed here. I believe this is more the Correct as discussed in the famous "Worse is better" article.

This is a complex question. As you pointed out, having a high fidelity map helps to identify the part of the environment that change, creating 'deltas'.

Another reason is that autonomous vehicles take data from a wide variety of sensors, including cameras, RADAR, LIDAR and others.

None of these modalities is perfectly, and there is always ambiguity and drift. High fidelity, high resolution maps provide a strong prior that helps to resolve these issues.

Besides the sensing issues, high fidelity maps also provide priors with respect to planning and prediction of the behaviors of other road users. A busy intersection should be approaches differently to a small backroad.

In the end, autonomy needs both real-time processing and high fidelity maps to perform effectively.
