Absolutely, but this guy didn't need Unix "underneath", he just needed Unix without the pretty and expensive UI on top of it.
I'm really very bearish on this idea. When Intel bought Altera there were really 3 issues. The first was that they drove growth by bundling their FPGA stuff with their fabrication services - so like someone like Ericson could do half their design on FPGA and then slowly move to ASIC. That was good for Intel because it won them business, but it didn't really do anything for FPGAs.

The second thing was bundling FPGAs into the same package as a CPU. There were two problems with this, firstly it's a load of dark silicon when you aren't using the FPGA part and you have to make a load of tricky decisions like "Am I going to design my thermals to let me run all the Xeon cores at max speed whilst running my FPGA". The other problem being that it's really bloody hard figuring out the programming model, where the FPGA wants a deterministic data flow and you've got these CPU nutters throwing memory at you out of order, stalling and screwing you up with really bizarre cache behaviour. Since the CPU guys designed the interface it leaves the FPGA developer an almost impossible task to build efficient processing pipelines.

Finally we've got the moonshot - the idea that you could come up with a high level design language to programme FPGAs like software. Intel very heavily invested in this when they bought Altera but I'm still not seeing any forward progress on this, and let's be clear, Intel poured huge resources into making that happen. The last I heard they had over 100 engineers on that project and the sum total of their achievement is a handful of "partners" who wrote OpenCL/HLS/whatever and then worked with the engineers to go through a grueling process re-writing their code over and over and over until it looked like the RTL they already wanted. At one point Intel were going to re-write their entire FPGA video IP suite in HLS, I don't know how they went, but the acquisition of Omnitek probably wasn'ta good sign. It's been 4 years since the acquisition, and they were working on it long before then. The project is still basically just a load of marketing guff on their website that no one can actually use. I would say with the innevitable restructuring that Intel will have to do due to their various other fuck ups, this project is on thin ice.

The problem is that AMD is so likely to fall into the trap of points 2 and 3, and we're going to lose the final big independent FPGA company so that AMD can kill themselves trying to compete with Nvidia. And the real danger is that whilst all that's happening, actual innovation will disappear in the FPGA space. Xilinx's ACAPs are actually interesting (one way of solving the programming model), but Intel's last piece of innovation in the FPGA space died with the failure of hyperflex.

I didn't know who Brian Eno was before reading, or his music. It was an interesting article though.

I come away with the impression that this is someone whose work has fulfilled him, and he is someone who doesn't seek the benefits or potential paths that many people would try to exploit success for.

He's not using his name to seek fame, be really highly regarded, or make great wealth from it. His work just has happened to give him some of that as a side benefit in his mind. I wouldn't even say "he's made it in life" in the traditional way you might say about someone who reached monetary satisfaction. He seems to have reached the fulfillment of his purpose in life, and that is kind of refreshing.

Not satisfying for fans, but refreshing. And maybe he's right that some of the negative reaction to this kind of perspective shows exactly the stress and "badness" of fame that creates a sense of entitlement among your appreciators.

Today it seems that every media/IG/whoever is seeking the likes (even you or I do a little of this every time you post something, right)? And the dopamine hit, or doors that it opens to new, interesting things, which probably turn out to be less interesting after a while, or result in more stress after you see what it is you're really pursuing.

Great for him to have reached this point in life -- although as I said, unsatisfying for his fans. Maybe it is an aspect of the human condition that when you've reached satisfaction in life, you actually become a bit disappointing to others -- exactly because you no longer feel the need to engage in the behavior to be an excitement, inspiration, false role model to them. I wonder if he at least plays that role for his friends or family, the ones who he does want to expend that mental energy on?

Am I the only one who thinks this project will never succeed? I mean, don't get me wrong I want it to succeed, but in this ecosystem of apps/capitalism, and Apple/Google duopoly, I see no chance of an open project like this going mainstream, and the intersection between the tech enthusiasts (as I really don't think this project is aimed at the non tech-savvy) and who actually would want to replace their phone with this isn't enough (HN community isn't a good KPI for this, obviously. We need to check out the general audience) to support the costs.

I'd like to be proven wrong though.
Also, such abstraction is probably difficult to port existing applications to. And there could be a mismatch with some applications (games?) that simply want lower level abstractions.

Why re-program?
Extend the X86 ISA with a set of instructions for mailbox style programming (put, trigger, wait for flag/interrupt, get), then address the FPGA as a set of registers and flags.

Hide the registers or set a flag if the FPGA is not configured for it.

Moreover, put another configuration flag to FPGA part so that it either shows up a device or works as a set of registers.

It's easier said than done but, it's not impossible.

Now the person you are speaking to is going to be n% (partially) emulated. n is going to increase in future. One day there will be a paid feature letting you emulate 100% of yourself to respond to video calls when you are not available. And finally, they will replace yourself even without you knowing, and even after you die.
I think a fairer comparison might be to compare weight of IC Engine + fuel tank vs electric motor + battery.

IC and Fossil fuels still win out (particularly if you swap to gas turbine) but the numbers are much closer.

No one has mentioned recycling plastics in bitumen. It's a growing thing.

From https://austroads.com.au/publications/pavement/ap-t351-19/me... :

The first plastic road in India was constructed in Chennai in 2002 from shredded waste plastic. This plastic road is reported to be durable and pothole free (Subramaniam 2016; Manju, Sathya, & Sheema 2017). Today, there is more than 33,000 km of plastic road in India with most of them being rural roads and a small number in cities such as Chennai and Mumbai (Subramaniam 2016).

...

The waste plastic content for dense-graded and open-graded mixes is set at 6-8% of the mass of the bitumen (Sharp et al. 2017).

Putting that 6-8% in perspective, Australia produces about 3 .5 million tons of plastic waste a year, and uses 800,000 tons of bitumen. So only about 1% could be recycled at the 6-8% level.

Perhaps an even bigger downer is:

However, the concern associated with plastics breaking down into microplastics might create another problem to the environment. Subramaniam (2016) quoted a Professor of Plant and Soil Ecology at Freie Universität Berlin, ‘once in the soil, these particles may persist, accumulate and eventually reach levels that can affect the functioning and biodiversity of the soil’.
Or "People with access to more information but with less education how to discriminate and make something of it become less likely to trust anyone."

The issue is not that people get manipulated into believing this or that side. It's that they don't trust anyone anymore. So they rally what they like, or what they fear less.

Reminds me also this tweet from a few days ago:
"Expanding upon Hannah Arendt’s “common present”, Pankaj Mishra wrote in his “Age of Anger” that globalisation & internet has placed societies & individuals around the globe in a common present whereas these societies & individuals had very different & diverse pasts (n)"

That's high! I would expect around 100W without the NIC and the second GPU. But it's high even when accounting for that.

You could undervolt slightly, it usually results in less power consumption and higher performance as a result of lower temperature.
Do you ever comment in a tone that isn't permanently offended?
I will call this a "Elzin Effect":

— When Boris Yeltsin went grocery shopping in Clear Lake

— Yes, that Boris Yeltsin. In 1989 the future first president of post-Soviet Russia visited Houston, and what most impressed him wasn’t NASA.

— It was a Randall’s grocery store, where the Houston Chronicle saw him “nodding his head in amazement” at the fish, produce and frozen pudding pops:

— “He commented that if the Soviet people, who often must wait in line for goods, saw U.S. supermarkets, ‘there would be a revolution.’ ”

The Internet lets people experience pretty much the same, except do so while being on the other side of the public/government divide, and in fact, there are revolutions happening.

What I myself believe that a lot of people in the West kind of realise how this work in basics, but only the people who grew in the unfree world will continue further to note that what matters even more is what he said later:

— “Even the Politburo doesn’t have this choice. Not even Mr. Gorbachev,” he said.

Elzin was said to be almost crying from this realisation. He saw it's impossible to recover the control of the party when, in a few years, it will be not only him, but tens of thousands of other USSR's officials visiting USA.

The later made themselves to feel that they look like clowns in eyes of people who been there, and saw this. These officials will forever stop believing in the power of CPSU, because they saw who really have all the wealth, power, and political potency in this world.

Those officials will stop wanting to be high ranking functionaries, and will want to do business themselves in hopes of achieving even a tiny fraction of wealth they saw in the USA, or even drop everything, and move to the West themselves (A huge portion of Russian immigration to the Brighton Beach in early nineties were, in fact, families of Soviet officials, and other elites.)

Above, was what the third man in the power vertical, in the second most powerful world country at the time said. Now, imagine how much will this crash the worldview of some "big guy" official in a small town, or a village in the third world, and how they will feel. They too will stop caring for their duties, cash out the treasury, and run.

The Internet is equally potent in erasing the faith in the government of both the governed, and the ones doing governing.

I was working in RDF/ontology space. IMO the additional domain knowledge required to model data correctly and publish them in a way an average user can comprehend and navigate properly is disproportional to the benefit of such data model. By the time everything is properly modelled the knowledge itself might be a bit obsolete (speaking from bio-tech related fields).

A little bit tangential, but if the reader is interested in steelmaking, ironmaking, and blacksmithing, then I would like to draw their attention to my business - which is hiring [1]!

There is incredible complexity involved in performing these processes on an industrial scale in the modern day. This means that many important control decisions are made using approximate heuristics. And this leads to huge inefficiencies.

For example, a typical steel plant spends many $10s million/year on energy, but the theoretical minimum needed is far less. We are working on solving this problem by achieving totally optimal control. We create data-driven predictive process models that can simulate the physics and chemistry of the very quickly. This allows us to simulate different control tactics in real time - continuously evaluating different options in response to live observations.

Why? Can't find the more recent value, but by 2017 he was down to ~1% stake and he was effectively transferring the amounts sold to the foundation. Why would he care significantly about the image of MS at this point?

The last significant article mentioning Gates and Microsoft I can find is him departing the board in March. And not a lot before that either. Can you point at his significant MS PR?

It is also possible that people in rural areas tend to have less contact with the government in general - after all, most government activity takes place in the capital and other big cities.

And in absence of contact, people do not really have strong opinions. But once information arrives, things change.

Prior to mass media, few Americans would be strongly opinionated on the internal dealings of Washington D.C. Simply said, they never set their foot there and the distant federal government was not a major influence in their lives.

With the contemporary news cycle, Washington D.C. feels very close and familiar, even to me, a Czech residing an ocean away from it.

The problem is that I most likely have to get consent (opt-in) from the user in order to collect that data - at that point I can either trick my visitors into giving it by using various dark pattterns or I end up with a dataset that is pretty much useless since nobody will opt-in.

If those are my options I prefer not having to annoy my visitors with consent banners over extended and persistent analytics data. That's why we actually migrated from Google Analytics to Plausible.

By the way: Import of analytics data from Google would be a great feature if anyone from Plausible is still reading here.

Perhaps it's just me, and my philosophical bent, but I can actually see coming at it from the exact opposite end.

I don't want bandwidth and things spent/wasted without it providing a significant benefit (I'm probably one of those 1080p/720p is good enough for most things type guys).

I definitely don't want work making large bandwidth or resource claims on my connection when I'm working at home. And if any of this remote working has taught me anything, it's that most of my colleagues don't have steady/reliable tech or connections, so i'd almost want it used pre-emptively as a default so we can spend the rest of those resources on robustness or other qualities. (I realise of course that at the moment none of them have high-grade Nvidia graphics cards, but I'm talking hypothetically in the far off future).

In short, I want a world where the cost to benefit ratio of things is orders of magnitude larger, because things like this let us spend network/resources on things which matter.

Yes, when I'm calling my parent/grandparent one on one I might want to upgrade the signal, but I don't need to see random colleague's face in all their HD glory, or remote people whom I have no idea who they look or sound like anyway (i believe that's also been one of the findings with deepfakes, that you don't notice the eerieness/falseness as much if it's a reference of a face that you don't have pre-determined knowledge of).
>>Please Stripe, work on reducing the costs to transact online by 1-2 orders of magnitude, where it should be.

I agree with the could and should. Payment costs could be a tiny fraction of current. It is a tax. I'm dubious of the who. Stripe is now a big player. They're have no interest in turning their $X00bn sector into a $Xbn sector.

Incidentally, I think the current economy harbours a lot of sectors that could be orders of magnitude smaller. This has always been a debate in the financial sectors. Today though, there are some (IMO) less ambiguous sectors/companies.

Does facebook actually need $70bn in revenue to operate facebook. Could it be done on $7bn? To me, it seems like an obvious yes. Quite a glaring inefficiency, IMO.

How to use the neo.mjs Command-Line Interface
It starts with a distributed approach, from the bottom up. The primitives of Packages and Version Sets match how teams are organized and work. Package versions, VFIs, and package builds are the interfaces & immutable artifacts for teams and software stacks to interact.

Conversely the the monorepo approach seems to spend its time trying to serialize and separate the innate codependencies of its approach.

This may be projecting expectations but the example compressed video looks very slightly fake in a way that is just a little uncanny valley type unsettling.

Perhaps the nets they’re using are compressing out facial microexpressions and when we see it, it seems just a little unnatural. Compression artifacts might be preferable because the information they’re missing is more obvious and less artificial. In other words i’d rather be presented with something obviously flawed than something i can’t quite tell what is wrong.
