Probably not as crisp as 16-bit integers - mantissa is 7 bits, so 8-bits with sign. Clever use of exponents may give some additional range, but I wouldn't be too optimistic.

The good thing is that, as any FP number, can represent a very large range of values, so I'd expect percussion and other things with very high-frequency transients to sound nice. My bet is it'll sound "colorful". IEEE float16 should sound better.

But I'm no expert and I don't have the time to write something that force a good high dynamic range track to be rounded to the nearest bfloat16 and then expanded back. Also, I don't have gear good enough to hear anything better than CD-grade audio.
Hmmm...I wonder if "manage remote teams" might be the key?

At work you'll have your team of engineers, with managers who aren't actually working on the engineering problems themselves. Heck, they might not even be engineers. They are dealing with representing the engineering team as a whole in interactions with other engineering teams, or with non-engineering teams and higher level managers.

In every MMORPG I've played, the "managers" were players out there on the front lines with the rest of the group. You didn't have someone whose role was to just direct and coordinate what the rest of the guild did, and represent the guild to outside interests. No, your "manager" was right out swinging a weapon or casting spells with the rest of the guild on a raid.

Maybe that's the difference? In a game, your "manager" on a team is just another one of the team who does all the normal things expected for the class of character they are playing and just happens to also be coordinating things. At work, manager is a distinct role very different from the roles of the people they are managing. Perhaps that changes the nature of team sufficiently to make trust harder to build?
In my experience having a billion dollars to move is pretty much all you need to generate those relationships.
Is your argument that HK is better off under Chinese rule, where dissidents will be arrested and tortured? Yeah, maybe it would be better if we killed millions of Chinese. Maybe at some point they’ll learn the lesson.
The big box model in the US just outsources the labour involved in producing goods to countries where that labour is cheaper; it's not like any of the big manufacturers of anything manufacture locally in the US.
Wow. I actually agree with dhh on this one, but the way he responded to this, freaked out, and made childish accusations and Bitcoin jokes does not speak well for him. This really changed my image of dhh and his companies. This is beyond unprofessional for someone with such a large following.

This whole piece reminds me of those classmates in college that had no clue what they were talking about, so they used big words and overly effusive language to sound smarter than they actually are.

And while a pure meritocracy is what we're looking for in higher ed, at this moment we haven't found a way to separate the people from the process; we haven't found our orchestral blind auditions. Most tenured faculty positions are garnered through years of work at a university, and those years of work means years of human interactions and politicking. So, those "mandatory workshops" are necessary, because there's still very much a human element to the whole damn thing; and until we can remove the humans from the process, we'll need ways to learn how to better interact.
Back when I used Ruby and was more of a beginner, I used to upgrade my projects' Ruby CLI scripts into little Shoes admin panels that I could launch and keep open during dev. Not only did I like seeing all the available commands as buttons, but I could add arbitrary visualizations and logic, like whether the local Redis server was running or what the queue depth of my background worker was or maybe some input fields for common tasks.

As a project matured, so would the admin panel. It could be really polished.

Ever since I stopped using Ruby, I never tried to find an alternative in other languages I was using, or they weren't as trivial as Shoes. I kinda miss it.
Glad to hear you're excited about the idea!

1. Yes, we are honoring that! It's a reward for being an early adopter and it's important to keep the community "starter culture" intact as we move to a paid membership model.

2. We don't want you to have to trust us. That information will be transparent. Check out our current writers leaderboard [1] as a prototype of how that will look. Minutes reading to completion is our basis for payments to writers so you can imagine a pie chart on your account page that shows who your $5 went to for that month in addition to a community-wide distribution that would look similar to the current leaderboards.

As you can imagine there will be cases where we can't get in touch with writers or they're not interested or something like that. We'll probably have to have some sort of time-out period where the uncollected funds might be reallocated to writers who have verified with us or something of that sort. The important thing is that we're committed to making these rules and decisions transparent.

Two questions:

Does TSMC have the capacity to support AMD / AWS / Ampere etc making a significant dent in the server market alongside longstanding commitments to Apple etc?

Given how much they spend on Intel CPUs to what extent is it worth AWS / Oracle etc making low hundred million dollar investments in their own silicon or startups like Ampere just to keep Intels pricing competitive?
Yep I just changed the font size to 18px in my dev tools and it looks better. Still don't think serif fonts are the best for a blog but guess that's just my opinion.
Thank you very much for all your time and effort in starting and shepherding this very important project (and also in finding a great home to continue the legacy).

Redis was (and continues to be a very integral) part of my startup's stack. We've also extended the redis protocol for all sorts of custom hacks.

I will miss your humility and patience in communicating the roadmap, technicalities and all around community work.
A great all-round example for all of us to follow.

Thanks so much - and eagerly looking forward to your next set of projects!
For what it's worth, Intel is still faster in most applications, simply by virtue of having a clock speed advantage that by far exceeds any IPC difference, and also by having much lower memory latencies. AMD has basically a 20-30 ns extra latency over Intel; so with good memory you can do ~45 ns on current Intels, but that will give you ~65 ns on a Ryzen. That's significant for a lot of code (e.g. pointer chasing, complex logic etc.).

On the other hand, few applications scale efficiently to more than just four cores. Yes, of course, AMD delivers more Cinebenchpoints-per-Dollar and usually more Cinebenchpoints overall, but that's not necessarily an interesting metric.

Personally I find that if I'm waiting on something to complete that the application in question tends to use only a tiny number of cores for the task at hand. Usually one.

Another significant weakness of AMD's current platform is idle power consumption.

These factors leave me with a much more nuanced impression than "Intel is ded" or "HOW IS INTEL GOING TO CATCH UP TO THIS????"; CPU reviews these days are just pure clickbait.
From the link I posted:

> We will not be shipping Focals 2.0, but we hope you will continue the journey with us as we start this next chapter.
AMD processors used to implement AVX instructions by double-pumping them, using only 128-bit vector ALUs. This means there's no clock penalty, but there's also no speedup over an SSE instruction by doing so. I don't know if this is still the case with the newest µarchs though.
No.. that still shows it's the truth.

Assuming miners are smart, you can 'bribe' them without ever speaking to them.

Your coins have been transfered to Mr Evil in block number 6000.

Simply publish a transaction which pays your $1B in bitcoins to another address you control with a $200M transaction fee.

Any rational miner who sees this will decide to 'undo' Mr Evils transaction and all that occur after it by acting as if those transactions don't exist. They will mine your new transaction as part of a new block number 6000, and pocket the $200M for themselves. However, they will need to make sure their block number 6000 remains part of the chain.

By the time they've done this, block number 6001 and 6002 have been mined on top of Mr Evils transaction in block 6000. That means someone must mine block 6001 and 6002 again, at significant computatonal cost. To do that, the miner who mined the new block 6000 can incentivise others to work on top of their block by paying the 200M to themselves, but again with a big fee.

The above only works if all miners are rational, and have coded this strategy into their mining pools. Are there examples of this happening in practice? (There will be public evidence of it in the blockchain).
Both the Soviet economy and capitalism as we know it are centralized economies; neither are bottom-up planned. Sure, maybe capitalism has some competition between large companies, but that's the extent of it.
This. I use FF for regular web browsing but when I work I still use Chrome for its Dev Tools.

It's not even that FF's dev tools are bad -- it's good, but sadly Chrome is still better in some marginal yet significant ways.

Most notably Chrome is still better for CSS work when I'm trying out colors, tweaking shadows and animation timings, where Chrome has some nifty widgets to preview changes quickly and easily.
A simple "let me email a 6 digit alphanumeric code to your icloud email" 2fa style identification would cover anybody who is able to open their mailbox. Not perfect, but gets around some of the problem.

I actually think the customer experience of "I switched from apple to android and now I dont know any of my usernames" is a bigger issue. If apple wants Sign in with Apple to work, it needs to behave a bit more like an agnostic 3rd party password manager, work on every platform, and have ways to interact with it on any device. They should release Keychain as an Android app and Chrome extension, and allow you to use it to see your Sign in with Apple data.
We can simply ignore the fact China is a totalitarian communist state, but in this case, we have not to talk about it at all, because literally every decision of CCP has the underlying motivation to weaken the national security of countries it believes to be Chinese enemies.

>the detail is not there.

Usually no, but (anecdote); I cannot normally remember my credit card number, dreaming years ago i read the number aloud and when i woke i could remember the numbers that i had recited in the dream, i checked and they were correct... So at least sometimes in dreams the detail is real.

I have a theory that memory recollection is linked to social impulses, that our minds forget things on purpose (without our knowledge lol) as a tool for social integration. I've seen some indirect evidence of this in some sports, where people tend to be just about as good at a sport as their social peers, change social peers and they become better or worse accordingly. -this would have interesting implications for aphantasia treatment.

thanks to @antirez, for the elegant data structures in redis. literally, cs concepts transferred to practicality, when I learned redis
There's a role for a human-machine hybrid, and indeed there are also quite complicated control systems in work in anaesthesia. As an example, syringe pumps which perform pharmacokinetic calculations: you enter the patient's height, weight, sex, and age, then set a target plasma drug concentration and the pump uses complex pharmacokinetic models to determine how much drug to deliver to acheive that goal and maintain it. I can imagine more elegant systems coming in the future - ie a pump that can adjust drug delivery rates to maintain a given blood pressure. But the overall process of safely delivering an anaesthetic, from pre-operative assessment to post-operative recovery and discharge, is far beyond automating at the moment.
They tie it to whatever your Apple ID primary email is. This is only your iCloud email if you've deliberately made one, which isn't the default.
Postel's law has since turned out to be a disaster for security, and for evolving interfaces in a controlled way even where no security flaw motivates the evolution.

When a server or API is "tolerant", with multiple implementations of an protocol, it becomes difficult or even impossible to know if it will "tolerate" your new request by doing the wrong thing, instead of nothing. The API equivalent might be "tolerating" a null pointer by treating it as the empty string, instead of failing, preventing early detection of corrupted data structures.

This has made evolving, e.g., TLS very hard, and delayed security improvements by years.

Dude/dudette, you're barking up the wrong tree, I didn't care about Eich then and I don't care about him now. I'm just confirming the post YOU wrote above, so quit it with this weird tone.

Also, your expectations of a CEO of a corporation as large as Mozilla are out of whack. If Pinchai, Bezos, Satella, Musk etc were publicly put on the spot for personal views that were antithetical to their respective corporations and lost the trust of their employees and the public, they'd either apologize or lose their job.

depends on how good you are with your finances.

You can easily get too much debt if you are not careful doing those kind of things. Most people just check that the debt payments fit in their budget, but they forget their budget might shrink.

US families are drown into debt, in fact most families live paycheck to paycheck, so i wouldn't give that advice of using debt event without interest. I would only give such advice to people I already know that can take care of themselves financially. (As in know how to actually manage money, not about being rich or poor)

And there is another benefit of paying in the act: its off your mind, one less thing to worry about. Might not be the most efficient but is the the one that makes you worry less.
but what's next?
Less electricity used. Air conditioning is a big cost in large data centers. Lower power use cpus mean less heat which means less ac needed which drives down total costs.

Of course different cpus can do different amounts of work per amount of electricity used, but arm generally works out better on a watt per unit of work basis.
Having a dishwasher and clothes washer and dryer can mean the difference between having time to work and not. Labor-saving devices bought on loan make perfect sense to me. From my perspective it's funny that you give yourself permission to buy a car on credit since to a car-free person that's nuts, but to a person who needs a car to access their place of work it's obviously sensible.
Cars from 2010-2018 would have been subject to many of the same tests anyway that could be compared directly. Just don't compare aggregates based on tests that only the later models were subject to.

What China has been doing recently breaks many terms of the 1997 Hong Kong agreement. I remember one of their officials recently said something like "those agreements are no longer relevant."

If a country like Fiji or Venezuela did this, they would have hell to pay. Perhaps I should decide my rental lease agreement with my landlord was "no longer relevant" because I no longer feel like paying him rent.

> For the second, that’s entirely the user’s choice. Your app can also allow them to associate a new email address for this purpose (which strikes me as exactly what you actually want since the real unstated motivation here is getting the user’s email).

So the solution here is for a developer to add a bunch of code to their codebase on at least 4 platforms just to get to the same exact functionality and level of privacy, but with a worse user experience?

> For the third, don’t make me type in someone’s email. The exact same issue as described happens if they have multiple email addresses too. Just let me use my OS’s sharing mechanism to send a special link that they can open to establish the sharing connection. An invite to share, as it were. Not only does that solve the problem, it’s significantly more user-friendly.

As a user, I find that functionality to be incredibly clunky by comparison (on all platforms). It may be moderately better on iOS than Android, but even then Anylist and others are running multiplatform apps. If I'm using a computer and I need to manually copy a link, open my email client, compose a new email, type the subject and a message, paste the link, and hit send, that feels dramatically more cumbersome than just entering an email address and hitting "share". It also takes a good amount of new code to implement something like that on an existing system that uses email-based sharing, which I don't think developers should have to deal with just because Apple built a lousy login system.
different types of trust.

Trust not to misuse.

Trust not to leak in a breach.

Realistically, my email address is something I trust Amazon with both of, because email isnt how they spam me, they are smart enough they can identify me without my email address, and I expect their security to be more hardened and battle tested.
