As someone with a STEM degree who enjoyed taking online classes at a CC during their 20s in Art History, I wouldn't call it a waste of time; it's brought me more joy, balance, and a feeling of well-roundedness than I had contributing to os projects.
Well... even knowing I signed on to a project in 'sustainment' mode, I've still looked at and written up some ways to reduce the friction and complication of working with the old codebase. Even though the effort is unlikely to be put in, since the new version is in progress already.
I have heard rumors that AMD had a closer relationship with TSMC than NVIDIA. I have found that a bit weird as NVIDIA seems to move some higher margin silicon despite vague claims that NVIDIA is hard to work with. These rumors show NVIDIA either moving or being pushed to Samsung 8nm [0].

This article brings up the interesting point that AMD is spread thin trying to manufacture CPUs, APUs, GPUs, and has products for xbox and playstation both last and current gen. It paints it like a problem, and I would agree that predicting demand is challenging in the best of times. But maybe the diversity of the lineup is the real drive of TSMC partnering more closely with AMD; TSMC is even willing to make special variations of its process for AMD as seen in [1].

I think its clear why AMD wants to partner with TSMC, but I was always wondered whats the incentive the other way around that makes AMD attractive to TSMC.

One possible point is also mind-share as AMD has been getting many headlines but as TSMC is B2B, so I find that unlikely as TSMC's main value add from AMD over other manufacturers.

Foundries are expensive business, and TSMC likely wants big commits to make sure its bets pay off. TSMC only cares about what they are paid and NVIDIA likely isn't passing on much of its margin, so AMD's money is just as good. Except its not just AMD's money, its also Sony's and Microsoft's money. I would be shocked if there weren't minimum volume clauses in the contracts for making those console chips, custom silicon is expensive and AMD probably wants to have a guarantee it will break even. The TLDR is AMD can feel safer in making bigger commitments to fab time from its console agreements and product lineup, and TSMC can feel safer that this capacity will actually be used.

> It cannot be emulated in an environment that's secluded from the world or even in an environment that is exposed to a carefully selected slice of the world.

This has always been some kind of anthropomorphic argument to me that I don't think holds. The hard problem of consciousness isn't solved and to make such bold claims like we cannot possibly create intelligence without it having full awareness of the world seems unsupported imo.
Are you referring to this item from TFA?

Atlassian and AWS Say: “Maybe Worry a Little Bit”
Montreal and Toronto are top 2 places in the world for jobseekers and employers bailing out of the US due to visa or political issues.
>Please name some relevant countries who might be willing to bet their internal security that a hypothetical 5 year security promise from the US would definitely be operative after year 4.

Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Israel and everyone in NATO from Poland on west.

Yes, we're going through a rough patch because the US is (rightfully) sick of playing world police at the same time as China/Russia are on the up but to think that the US and all the other regionally relevant powers (e.g. NATO members for Europe) wouldn't retaliate against an attempt to annex territories in any of those countries is crazy. Also Panama and Egypt (who both have critical global shipping lanes) don't really have to worry about their sovereignty being violated by any nation that the first world would expect to restrict access to their shipping lanes.
I have a hard time thinking that anything one does isn't about oneself first and foremost. Even when that action is self-destructive.

But this is probably just my view of existence.
How did their lawyers screw this up so badly?
Would be a worthwhile article to read if it wasn't pay walled.
Why not? Flat earthers haven’t had much impact as far as public opinion. And HCQ isn’t a conspiracy theory unless you label all new data or speculation or difference of opinion as a conspiracy theory. We have to be careful when we use these labels. For example when the WHO said masks weren’t helpful, was that a conspiracy theory? Were the people nevertheless pushing masks also conspiracy theorists?

There are also many experts that support hearing the opposing view by the way. For example, Yale’s public health Dean just came out in support of the right to argue that HCQ could save lives (https://www.thecollegefix.com/yales-dean-of-public-health-de...). This statement was made because one of the public health professors at Yale believes HCQ could save lives, and the Dean felt it is important to defend academic freedom and free inquiry. We need that to challenge what might otherwise be incorrect prevailing sentiments on how best to treat COVID. It may be a dead end ultimately, but I am not for shutting down all discussion around it.
> the Bbc ( :-D ) does it, so apparently im the exception and not the normal.

I assume the smiley indicates that you're aware that 'BBC' would actually be correct, and that 'Bbc' is not appropriate (because we say 'Bee Bee See', not 'Bubk'), unlike NATO/Nato ('Nay toe')

Also, I prefer NATO over Nato personally. NATO reads 'Nay toe', while Nato reads 'Nat oh' in my head.
Cooperative Design Systems (2019)
I agree on the weed out, I have less confidence in the quickly. Bigger companies move at glacial pace and most are going to do everything they can to not let on that there are any problems at a group/division/whole enterprise level.
That doesn't mean China can't see a benefit from chaos within NATO.

Australia may not be in NATO, but there's close coordination anyways.
This would have been a hot take if they published it 10 years ago. Now it's old news.

Did they reverse engineer SID yet?
Agreed. Breaking up FAANG just because "FAANG bad" would be a terrible move. BUs within FAANGs operate like multiple companies already; having them be their own distinct business entities would just result in them creating umbrella companies.

Also, making MULTIPLE products that EVERYONE uses is really, really hard. These companies manage to do that and have enough budget to experiment.

Also Also, getting a software engineering job in a FAANG is still, 20 years later, a solid path to prosperity, which is rare
Their complaint isn't that it won't be possible to track you. It's that it won't be possible to track you without your permission.
It’s because it gives guilds the power to control the pipeline of skilled labor and exclude new entrants to limit supply. Guilds are generally run by their members, and the existing members are much more likely to be white and native born than potential new entrants. Their management structure also makes it more likely that prejudices will be acted upon.

When public unions became a thing in the 1960s and 1970s, they systematically excluded Black people, for example.
I assume Facebook is leading the way by slashing ad and promotion fees for small businesses.
The attempt to shut these sort of results down by pointing out the lack of scientific explanation is a bit sad in my optics.

If the study can not be replicated or the methodology is crap then fair enough but no-one had (have?) the correct scientific explanation for, say, Copernicus' observations and they still drove science forward immensely. Blue sky thinking and observation should be encouraged even if it produces results that are not immediately explainable.
It’s not sad at all. If you want to decide what speech you want on your platform, there’s a cost. Patreon deserves this.
Ph.D's get paid a pittance relative to what they do... and for like 3-5 years.

Apprenticeships for things like plumbers and electricians pay a decent wage interspersed with education.

On the long term a Ph.D may do better than a Master Electrician, but in the short term it's a way better deal. My friend out of HS who started working for Nissan and then Infinity was making 60k+ before he was 21. He's capped at around that much -- like 60-70k -- but most of our high-school friend circle wasn't making that kind of money until our late 20s (and at least one became a teacher, and still doesn't get that much in terms of pure cash comp).
99% of those companies building boring CRUD solutions don't even need developers. They could just piece something together off the shelf and be done with it. There's tons of products out there.

Any skilled trade that's highly dependent on outdoor work and physical labor, in the absence of free health care, economic safety net, and strong labor laws.

I've dealt with a lot of trades people, and the ones who are my age (mid 50s) tend to be hobbling and broken. On the other hand I could see it work for things like the "lesser" health care trades such as dental hygienist.
hey Nextgrid,

The point i was trying to make was more about modern development Organizations/structures leading to shit (not so much practices, although ya electron).

That said I totally agree with you about twisted incentives. A gross business model results in gross software no matter how skilled the dev/design team.

IMO the trends toward metrics-driven/freemium companies, is a consequence of top-down org models – predominantly where those at the top have no understanding of, or respect, for craft. Rigid structures typically only understand rigid metrics.

It's... not that easy. We're all wired a little differently and trauma twists that wiring even more. Some people are less resilient than others and need more help moving on. This is not a condemnation of those people. It's an acknowledgment that trauma has a real and different affect on people and we should treat individual needs.

Other things exist with great power. Not just humanistic things, like stronger nations or armies. Natural things. Electrical and chemical potentials. Mechanical structures. Cosmic effects of gravity. Biological pathogens and ecosystems. Without forgiveness their work would be much easier.

Existence is not created from a past mistake or a trivial act of chance. Forgiveness comes first. Not provoking. Overlooking as much as possible. Choosing something is not worth the effort or focus. Forgiveness is the only reason something exists.

The article mentions "You have to get it out of your system". No. Don't do that. Forget about it as fast as you can. You don't run out a blister. It's mostly just bad habits.
Apparently, I'm among the select few who learned things during my college years and actually apply it professionally. Go me.

The fact that most software developer jobs of the present day don't really make use of a college education says more about the profession of software development than the value of getting a degree. Software development is becoming a commoditized, blue collar job that anybody off the street can do and that will have long term impact on the market value of ordinary developers.
We give everyone in the U.S. high school education and we don't make the claims you make above. Why would higher education be different?

The purpose of free higher ed for all is not to guarantee everyone a good life–it is to try and give everyone an equal chance at a good life. If higher ed is highly correlated to escaping poverty and upward economic mobility, then college costs raising at a rate 11 times faster than average income is a form of classism.
Hiring. Companies hire, hire and hire like there's no tomorrow. There's zero incentive in becoming a stable business without keep growing every year. No. Instead companies want to get bigger, to hire more and to add features to a product until it gets rotten.

"Let's grow!" is the mantra in the tech industry, which to me is parallel to the idea " let's keep augmenting the population of this planet, there are resources for everyone!"
> make a social network of just those who have it

Is there a similar keyboard in the $100 range? I do not need changeable keyswitches or an ARM processor in my keyboard. Currently I have the Microsoft natural ergonomic keyboard 4000 and I am quite happy with that. I just do not need a num block and think a split keyboard is easier for travelling. Are there any good split keyboards with hand rests in the $100 range?

I don't think the OC implied that musicians (or their agents) shouldn't have pricing authority, just that the market won't bear the prices they seem to want.

The moment a digital file exists, your competing price point is free. People can still pirate, and don't because of youtube and streaming sites. You don't have to think that's right or fair (I don't), but it's absolutely the reality.
In Orthodox Christianity they have "Forgiving Sunday" every year. Many people (in Russia, for example) ask for forgiveness once a year, and everyone forgives. Like for real, it's happening to folks of all ages, including progressive folks of 20-30 age.
I had to take an electrical engineering course in college. That lab was the worst. You'd set up the circuits in the board and it wouldn't work. You'd ask the TA and he'd say you did it wrong. Check the design, check the pins, everything looks good. Still doesn't work. Two or three more rounds of this, finally get the TA over, he checks it over two or three times before concluding it's the board that's the problem.

Either that or the chips. There were always a few that were bad. So you didn't know if you had a bad board or a bad chip or were using bad paths on a chip.
You can actually do this log manipulation in fluent-bit (you can write Lua if you need to) although the forwarding cannot be routed to different locations.
> With the update to its mobile devices, Apple will ask users if they want to let app developers track their activity across other apps and websites.

I'm getting so tired of the bullshit coming out of tech companies. Listening to these tech CEOs lie and give non-answers to every question asked by Congress this week was disgusting.

Would any user EVER want apps to be able to track them across the web and within other apps? Why would this not be off by default?

I used Android for years until enough was enough with the blatant theft of my data by Google. So I opened up my wallet even wider to go with Apple, as I thought they took users' privacy seriously.

Apparently not.
> Why can't there just be a manufacturer that goes for the niche of standard ISO rather than ergonomic, or with too few keys, or with some emphasis on buckling spring style feel?

Those features are what the mass consumer market wants. Also, I'm sure Logitech and Microsoft have always offered a standard ISO keyboard.

> Ergonomic

People value the long-term health of their wrists.

> Too few keys

Usually to reduce desk space. In the case of the Planck, it's also to reduce finger travel.

> Emphasis on key feel

If I'm typing at my job all day, I want the thousands of keypresses I do to feel good.

> niche of standard ISO

Honestly, I think standard ISO/ANSI is awful -- the vast amount of design decisions are a relic of the typewriter age.

The rows are staggered because typewriter keyboards had physical vertical bars under the keys that would otherwise overlap. An ortholinear solution makes much more sense in the modern age.

The second most-used key, backspace, is positioned in the far right corner of the keyboard. One must move their entire right hand (or have a long pinky) to hit it. The spacebar, on the other hand, is wasted real estate because it completely occupies two of the strongest digits -- the thumbs. Thus, a better solution would be to split the spacebar with one half being backspace.

This isn't even going into the nightmare that is QWERTY. Regardless of keyboard, almost everyone is using an inefficient layout designed to place common keys away from each other.

Conclusion: just because it's standard doesn't mean it's the best choice. IMO, when it comes to keyboard layouts, the standard is the worst choice.

was about to remark the same thing. Seeing an article like this in what is allegedly a Christian culture is a little bit funny.

Do we really need to teach people that forgiveness, properly understood, is an act of virtue rather than some sort of bargain?
Calling mutability an OOP issue doesn't make sense to me. You could certainly have immutable objects. You can event have immutable object inheritance. Maybe you just want a language where fields are immutable by default.

If you're just passing around raw structs or arrays, it's way harder to manage blocks of data.

From the paper:

> the main hypothesis about earthing is based on the connection to the surface of the Earth, which is satiated with free electrons. This indirect or direct contact with the Earth enables “mobile” electrons to migrate into the body

(it then goes into anti-oxidants etc.)

This hypothesis has remarkable implications for ordinary chemistry, if it were true. I don't see why wave-particle duality would be relevant here, do you care to explain?

Plus a lot of the effectiveness of small business advertising on Facebook is zero sum between the competing small businesses. So the more effective it is relative to how well newspaper advertising, etc. worked in the past, the bigger a cut Facebook can extract from them. Which starts sounding more like a big business profit story, not small business.

>If anything, GPT-3 is too tied to the real world. Like a search engine, it can quickly find the answer to almost any practical question. What we're trying to figure out is if it can do anything else.

I disagree, for what it is GPT could still be incredibly powerful. No person can hold all of human knowledge in their head but could GPT reasonably approach that and be able to answer almost any question that Humans have already answered? That would be incredible imo. It's Google on steroids. All the worlds information queryable in plain "english".

It's not at an all powerful Oracle that we can ask about how to perfect Fusion power or build Warp Drives but it can still do some incredible things.
