A lot of this is driven by the technical regulations, in order to keep some parity between teams with varying budgets. Most, if not all teams have as much software automation on the pitstop equipment (you can see the front jack release triggers the green light in the video!)
For phones, I probably agree at this point. I'm very happy with my 11 pro max. It's fast, takes great pictures for its size, and I'm never waiting for it to do something. At this point more efficient chips could be used to improve battery life, but that does not always seem to be a goal. I'm sure Apple (and others) has some research somewhere that shows most people need X hours and that is their target.

My 2018 iPad pro is sort of the same, but as I find myself using it for more and more things, I can see places where more speed would help. It's my goto device now for using LR and sorting and editing pics from my DSLR. It's already amazingly fast, but in cases like this more speed is still generally better.
I wouldn't expect "this phone can run for 10 hours and train a model", even though it clearly is also possible.
As a starting point, maybe take a look at the 'tch' crate [1] and the 'rust-bert' crate [2] built on top of it?

It seems outhouses every block would be a much more simple and economical design. They just require vertical excavation, which can be done by hand if space is constrained but labor is available. When the camp is dismantled (hopefully everyone is resettled quickly) then you just fill it in with dirt.
What is your native language? A language doesn't specify hand gestures, but cultures opviously have other forms of communication accompanying their spoken language.

There's also not one english, there are numerous regional and historical forms, and the depth you are missing may be found in people's local dialects and vocabularies. Words are just sounds with an agreed-upon meaning and they all basically come down to expressing the same human ideas no matter what group of sounds one is using to do so.

But without a specific comparison, it's hard to know what expectations you have.
I agree with most of what you've said, except that programming paradigm and languages have not helped with anything significantly beyond a certain point. They helped early on, FORTRAN was more productive than Assembly, FP/OOP helped after C etc., but we're seeing diminishing returns. And guess what: some predicted that this is exactly what would happen, incidentally, the very same person who said there's no silver bullet.

I'm not saying it's not possible to help, just that in a world of diminishing returns, it means that finding stuff that helps is very, very hard, and I think we're at a point where we can say that FP and OOP are not "the answer" to getting us further than where we already are, and start looking for other things.

> If we admit there is no silver bullet, then can we however to build silver bullet factories?

I would say that the answer is no, for a similar reason we can't build halting-problem-deciding factories. If we had silver-bullet factories, then unless picking the right bullet is very hard -- in which case we've solved nothing -- then we have a silver bullet. There are some fundamental reasons for that, and I tried to cover some of them here: https://pron.github.io/posts/correctness-and-complexity

The one unanswered question is how far are we from the best we can do?
That’s a variation on extreme ironing, “an extreme sport in which people take ironing boards to remote locations and iron items of clothing. According to the Extreme Ironing Bureau, extreme ironing is "the latest danger sport that combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ironing)

Please reconsider this position. It is outdated and goes against all recent evidence about the science of addiction, and the chemical changes that occur in the brain to cause addiction. Addiction is a medical condition. It has as little to do with self control as having cancer does.
I'm writing this comment on an 11 year old machine. It doesn't feel much slower than the 1 year old machine that I use at work. The number of transistors in its processor is also not 1/32-th or whatever of the office-machine's (especially if you don't count cache). It's processor has 45nm feature size, the modern machine's CPU is 14nm. In what way do you think does Moore's law still hold?
A dramatic solution, assuming this phenomena is something to be abated, is to simply remove replies.

Interesting topic, but highly sensationalized writing.

> But at just the time ... authorities back in Piraeus were investigating Marinakis and three of his associates on claims they set up a criminal organization that financed the trafficking and sale of narcotics. Marinakis also denies these charges. His potential connection to the Noor One, if it is proved out in court, would mean that one of Greece’s most powerful men may have climbed to global prominence on the back of a titanic heroin deal. And if he had been in on the ground-floor planning for the Noor One deal, he managed to profit off the Noor One where so many others lost their fortunes or lives.

That's a lot of ifs. But, that doesn't stop the writer form plowing right along.

Could you explain what isn't even established yet? So far it looks like your belief system prevents you from understanding any physics or chemistry where the results do not fit your values. You might want to look into that or maybe present a new system that explains other observations but where carbon dioxide behaves in a way that is your liking.

Quick question: Why would anyone downvote or upvote anything if they didn't believe in something?

Your line of query isn't flippant, I agree.

It's a reaction to a privilege at worst or a denial of why this thread was downvoted by the you-do-know-who in the first place.

> GMail and Maps for Google, defining it as the conglomerate of the Internet age. Mobile for Facebook, defining it as the service that connects people regardless of where they are.

That's an interesting thought. Is it Google or Amazon or Facebook?

Amazon: AWS + retail + Alexa + Kindle + Prime.

Everything about Amazon (going even further back than Google), for the most part, has been Internet based. They're clearly an Internet conglomerate. AWS is a drastically bigger deal for the Internet than Gmail, YouTube or GMaps; AWS is a present or future $600-$800 billion company by itself. Alexa owns the smart speaker market. Amazon is close to being an online retail monopoly. Prime is the world's largest loyalty lock-in program, which none of the other tech giants have (they have various leveraged network moats instead).

Facebook: FB core, FB messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram.

I think FB's combination is at least as potent today as GSearch + YouTube + Gmail + GMaps. How quickly FB's sales have grown rather speaks to that as well. I think GSearch has a plausibly more enduring position than Instagram though. And if you remove Instagram then FB's upside drops off dramatically, it's a shaky position that can be threatened. WhatsApp isn't worth much commercially (relatively speaking) and probably never will be, that acquisition was a competition removing action by FB. As Instagram ages, it'll face an endless line of cooler TikToks vying to rip its userbase away (young people not wanting to be where the old people are or where the last thing was), that process will never stop because social networks are almost always built on trend / fashion / cool and as they age they shed the cool factor. What threats have GSearch and YouTube faced? Not much, it's far harder to compete with them than it is to build the next small social homerun and scale it if it hits. Today, and for this decade, FB is probably as great of a conglomerate as Google, however I would rather own Google's properties than Instagram and WhatsApp (if FB had shown an ability to rapidly spin up new products to catch each cool wave, that would be different; but the exact opposite has happened, FB is risking turning Instagram into Frankenstein's monster, contorting it to keep up with each upcomer like Snapchat and then TikTok).

After living in several developed and developing countries, I think both sides will suffer. For first group, any disruption of food supply chain will be disastrous as it depends on extensive logistics and large food manufacturers. It was evident during the recent coronavirus in meat packing factory.

As for second group, it is largely about flood, drought, other natural disasters. Harvest will fail, starvation, etc. It can also be second / third degree of impact, eg riot, hyperinflation, civil war, etc.

A bit paranoid, due to recent geopolitical and coronavirus situation, I have asked my parents to be plant some important crops and vegetables in our suburb land. The probability is very low, however I do not want to die of starvation in that hypothetical situation.

That's why I said "most drugs".

That being said, there is an epidemic of childhood diabetes and _newborn_ obesity, which is entirely due to mother's high sugar & processed foods diets. It's a serious matter.

Also, it's possible to be a long-time user (obviously not a abuser) of heroin or meth (I know it's not exactly comparable but consider people taking adhd meds).

I'd take that over abusing sugar, which will cause fatty liver, diabetes, and cancer.
I noticed an error in the "Z80 IF-ELSE" section. It says that the overflow flag is the equivalent of the carry flag for signed numbers. But this is wrong. The overflow flag indicates that the result of the signed operation is wrong. In fact, it is the sign and zero flags that should be tested. In case of overflow, the sign must be reversed.

See this document about the carry and overflow flags: http://teaching.idallen.com/dat2343/11w/notes/040_overflow.t...

Moore's law is still on pace but Dennard scaling has broken down for ~15 years now. That means we're not getting the same speedups as we were used to and that gets explained by "Moore's law has broken down" as a title.

Presumably, humans consistently using hot springs such as the ones you describe to prepare food either found the experience punishing or simply didn’t live to record the results.
AFAIK the regs state that the signal for 'green' needs to have a human input, the wheel guns now mostly (video is from 2017) have torque sensors which inform a 'green' state when the human lets go of their switch.

Each team does things differently, but the front teams have a CAN network for pit equipment states to be shared for some form of automation.

This makes me realize that Github’s domain model (where “issues” exist as objects associated with—but outside of—the repo) is kind of hostile to forking. The original author wants to close issues not because they’ve been fixed in the codebase, but because he wants to not solve them. To get those same issues “back”, a fork developer would have to:

1. Copy-and-paste the repo, rather than using Github’s forking mechanism, because Github “forks” don’t have their own issues/PRs (being something more equivalent to multi-branch workdir collections for an upstream repo);

2. Copy all the issues over from the origin repo (manually, or by writing a script against Github’s API/CLI);

3. Sadly, likely lose all the original conversation on those issues.

These problems would be obviated if issues were just data files committed inside the repo — with any branch that contains the open issue file meaning the issue pertains within that branch; and any branch that closes the issue meaning that the issue is solved as of that commit. A fork developer could just fork the repo in the traditional fashion, and end up with a fork of all the issues alongside.

Does any git hosting service/software handle issues in this fashion, i.e. as a layer of web-chrome and backend indexing over files committed to branches of the repo (where you’d always have to be looking at the issues as they exist within a particular branch)?

For that matter, does any git hosting service have a sane high-level set of workflows for “forking” in the sense of creating a competing (or replacement) maintained-upstream-repo for people to contribute to?
That assertion seems highly dubious to me given how many other new languages have been created and learned in the meantime. It would be more interesting to look at why people felt those languages were more appealing - some of that has obvious financial draws (Java, JavaScript, C#, etc.) but nobody picked learning e.g. Haskell because it was the easiest option.
There haven't been green lights at the start for many years now. The start signal is the red lights going out.

> In the end, the "AI" will be to create new "mixes" of different already used concepts... but I don't see how it would be able to create new concepts. The "AI" will - as much as I understand the technology - stay inside the space defined by it's knowledge base. If all the website of the knowledge base have only white or black background, the "AI" can't "think" to use a green background, because it doesn't have any inference mecanism to think of the background color as any color. It is limited to the background that was fed.

"AI" that does what we want is limited to whatever rules we impose on it. For a lot of problems the most efficient way to impose rules is to provide a set of samples and interpolate, but if we have some way to meaningfully define creativity (which I don't think will be feasible in general any time in the near future, maybe ever) then we can produce an architecture which matches that definition (and if we're hung up on the generative portion of that, a trivial though expensive way to accomplish generation is to enumerate outputs and check if they match our definition for creativity).

"AI" isn't limited to the samples it's given; it's limited to the biases we impose. We can explicitly impose a bias that says hue matters if we so desire.

> I love how this community downvotes everyone who remembers the actual state of 3D on Linux in 2010s and goes against the smearing campaign.

I have been there, on both teams. I've helped nudging one of them to their current position.

nVidia was not like this in 2010s. Their drivers were spotless, performant and specs conformant. Things went very downhill with the rise of CUDA. Since CUDA became a compute monopoly, nVidia didn't feel the need to play by the books. The undercut OpenCL agressively. Drivers' code quality went downhill. Tesla got the priority and desktop support went downhill.

I have a friend who's developing a game engine. He praised nVidia's debugging tools and utilities and swears to their drivers on any platform. Flags got ignored, code does what it wants, not what it's told to do. Commands replaced in terms of automatic optimization... It's just a black box which does something convoluted to make things work. I'm not talking about game/app/binary specific optimizations. I'm talking about standards compliant, run of the mill code.

There's nothing left of the nVidia of 2010s. They became greedy, blind, uncaring and devastating. They were the days, when the green team was the savior of 3D on the Linux Boxen. Time has moved, that ship has sailed. Red team redesigned their silicon just for open drivers. Intel started publishing well functioning open source drivers. nVidia became the dominant player in the Compute & AI segment, and they left the GPU/Desktop/OpenGL field behind.

The developer, Raymond Hill had this to say on reddit a month ago:

I will never hand over development to whoever, I had my lesson in the past -- I wouldn't like that someone would turn the project into something I never intended it to become (monetization, feature bloat, etc.). At most I would archive the project and whoever is free to fork under a new name. For now I resisted doing this, so people will have to be patient for new stable release.

What would actually help is that people help to completely investigate existing issues instead of keep asking me to add yet more features. Turns out people willing to step in the code to investigate and pinpoint exactly where is an issue (or that there is no issue) is incredibly rare.
