I wouldn't call quanta overhyped. Implications are at best embellished very modestly for entertainment purposes, but they do a very good job of staying true to the original paper and communicating some of the main ideas in a less-dumbed-down version than SA, and less ridiculously inaccurate/overhyped way than say physorg.

Maybe the physics/math editor/writers are better than the biology. I don't read the bio articles, so I can't comment directly about them. I just read the compsci/physics/math and they're not that bad.
Finally. I made a very similar suggestion to the ECS product manager about 5 years ago. We were moving from Mesos to ECS and I was losing the ability to manage Docker containers on our on-premises servers so I suggested allowing us to run the ECS Agent on our on-premises servers. This would allow us to centrally manage those servers and would get AWS into our on-prem infrastructure...

Interesting.. I've chatted with Tim and learned a lot of people run Puppeteer on Lambda.. there is an easier way (spoiler - I work on the open source project OpenFaaS) - https://www.openfaas.com/blog/puppeteer-scraping/

I used Selenium a lot in a past life, so this post is interesting to see, but the UX and maintenance cost is also going to need to be factored in with bigger suites of tests.
I like this distinction of class and privilege you've made, I think it's interesting how they differ and how they're similar. What do you think about the argument that in a knowledge economy, a person's "privilege" which involves their education, but also a stable life and lack of stuff that distracts them from thinking clearly is more or less what gives a person their middle class status, and their "privilege" which involves connections to people with capital and ability to impress them, is crucial to making it rich?
What’s this have to do with intel?
MacOS is extremely good at supporting software originally developed on the OSes. After all you can get all the flagship MS Office apps on the Mac in very good iterations, plenty of Windows first vendors do support the Mac with version of their software, there are virtualisation and emulation solutions, and a lot of Linux software compiles and runs fine on the Mac as it's also a flavour of Unix.

In contrast, if you take the vast majority of MacOS first apps, there is no way you are ever running the vast majority of that stuff on other platforms. A wide variety of games even run on MacOS either natively or through compatibility layers like Porting Kit. In this respect out of Windows, Linux/Unix and MacOS, I think it's clear that MacOS wins hands down. It's not even close.

So given that this is pretty obvious, and I have a hard time believing you aren't perfectly well aware of this, why on earth are you trying to make this argument. Is running other platform's software really a primary criterion for you? In which case, the Mac should be right up your street.

For what it's worth, I find that getting up earlier doesn't just shift my free time - it results in a qualitatively different (and better) day. Something about starting the day with "me time" puts me on a nice trajectory, compared to the stressful experience of rolling out of bed and immediately confronting the specter of duty.

I agree with this, but also I draw a different conclusion:

tools, tools, tools

I will implement the UX my smart colleagues from the Design Thinking group come up with. I bring the tools and the tech and the architecture to do that. Quickly. And if the UX changes after the first user test, my architecture, tools and modular code will easily accommodate the new UX.

At least that's the dream :D

It's worth pointing out that several of the concerns mentioned here are specific to the Bitcoin protocol (e.g. SHA256^2 hashing) and aren't relevant to the use of Base58 as a general encoding scheme. The main issues that are non-Bitcoin-specific are: compatibility with QR encoding schemes, difficulty reading out loud mixed case strings, and higher efficiency encoding to Base32 (you can do it all with CPU-friendly bitwise operators).

So if you care about either of those things, then a Base32 encoding may well be good for you. But personally, my use of encodings like these tends to be for GUIDs and such, which I want to encode as a string, take up as little space as possible in URLs, and be maximally compatible with URL parameters and such. Base58 works great for that, and indeed I've been using it for that purpose for almost a decade now. There are some pretty serious efficiency losses from stepping down to Base32 that I don't want to incur (you're almost halving the size of your alphabet, so every byte you want to encode requires nearly another entire bit).

And, crucially, I'm not actually ever even decoding/encoding these strings back to their numeric value because the string itself then becomes the unique identifier (as it's way easier to work with in the fullstack from DB all the way on up through front-end than a byte or GUID type would be), so the encoding efficiency improvements that are salient for Bitcoin when you have thousands of these to decode in each block you want to validate just don't matter.

Of course we need to tackle the big Problems, but they need consensus and time. You can decide right now to not buy a new phone or reduce your average pageload by one megabyte.

It won't change the world overnight, but tackling climate change does not mean that we need to stop the largest polluter and everything else can go on as before. These changes need to be on every level and it is foolish to not start at the one you are at because "someone is worse than me".

As a young kid doing qbasic, everything moving around on the screen was x/y/xchng/ychng. The watershed moment for me was in highschool and suddenly recognizing that sin/cos were how to get from polar to cartesian, and atan2 was how to go the other direction. A week later my little platforming arena shooter had heat-seeking missiles in it.

I think a big part of the problem is a failure to emphasize the right stuff. I always see trigonometry presented in terms of all six functions and arcfunctions and the relationships between them— this is a bunch of abstract stuff that most people don't care about and will never need; it's nuts to present all of this at once when the small piece of it needed for polar coordinate operations is so immediately and obviously useful.
It's safe to leave behind one of each group (1 is still there).
Completely agree with your sentiment. But a lot of people are used to thinking about performance like it much matters anymore. You’d be hard pressed to find much of a difference between yearly updates of the same model phone. But I think a lot in this community will look at those numbers, I mean that’s how most people grew up when thinking about PCs and seems to be how Android devices have also marketed to people. I think now the majority of people just upgrade to the latest phone of the OS they prefer. I mean personally after deleting social media and a lot of other items off my phone I wonder what I really use my phone for other than texting, taking pictures and checking email and my calendar. I could easily get by with some basic phone (honestly contemplated getting some e ink phone with basic capabilities). But there are plenty of people out there that use their phone constantly and for a host of things. All that to say I feel like phones won’t have another large advance for some time, small iterative changes. That jump from the original iPhone to the iPhone 3G seemed gigantic. Sure there have been form factor changes but even on the android front there have been changes but not things that are revolutionary to the majority of users.
We have seen massive improvements in power envelope in CPUs in fairly recent generations, to say nothing of the power improvements seen in some generation->generation GPU improvements.

For example, with an improvement to the 14nm process and not a die shrink, Kaby Lake->Whiskey Lake saw low power processors double in core counts (2C/4T->4C/8T) in essentially the same power/thermal envelope. Basically every thin laptop/ultrabook family doubled its core count.
Not only is that impossible to know, what if you infected some people who were immnuno-compromised.

Whereas it's possible you may kill a small number of people while drunk in a car- even if we assume it's a bus you are driving and hit several other buses- eventually your vehicle or yourself will have sustained injuries keeping you or it from harming others further.

However you could easily infect who knows how many people since covid is transmissable, and anyone you infected will keep infecting others, every one of which is your fault.

Exponential growth. Not only deaths but possible permanent damage to respiratory, circulatory, and nervous systems.

I agree, do what you want, but I think you should also be liable for the damages you inflict on others. If this means jail time (possibly life if enough are infected and killed), how does that help your 'personal freedom'.

I've replaced my aging and failing 2013 XPS with a Ryzen 5 IdeaPad S540, cheap and slightly bigger but has a second internal M.2 slot, SD card slot, RAM upgraded to 32GB, and full size HDMI and USB A connectors for less than 900€. I'm happy with the upgrade, even if this machine won't last as long as the XPS (though its full metal case is sturdy enough).

I personally think that long-life plastics should be illegal for quickly used items.

Glass and wax-cardboard should be our primary packaging methods for food.

It should also be required that all plastics be recycled. I HATE plastic.

Also, look at cars - whats the average lifespan of a car these days - and in all the millions of cars - with thousands of parts made from plastic that never get recycled.

Those "slow" cores are very big and complex in comparison to an actually small core. A53 in 20nm Exynos 5443 is 1mm^2 without cache (0.55mm^2 for 256k cache) and that's the smallest variant I could find numbers for without die shrinks.

M0+ is 0.009mm^2 at 40nm. You can probably add another zero with two full node shrinks. M4 is just 0.04mm^2 at 40nm. M7 is probably 2-3x the size and M55 with SIMD (zero architecture relation to A55), but without tensor cores is probably 2-3x that size.

Accounting for die shrink and core growth, we basically get back where we started with M55 being around 0.04mm^2 and A53 being around 1mm^2 at 20nm. Even if I were off a further order of magnitude (not likely given that it's still just a 4-stage, in-order core), it would still be only 2/5 the size. I'd note that A55 is bigger than A53 by some amount (I don't think ARM has released that data).

If I'm right, you can fit 25 M55 cores in the space of one A53. Even if I'm very off, you could still fit 2.5x as many cores.

Dedicated cores for system processes has a few desirable effects. They are on simpler designs less likely to be exploitable with the latest order and timing attacks. They don't need to be interrupted often. This decreases context switching latency (which can exceed actual processing time). Less data moves around the chip decreasing power consumption. Prefetching can be more accurate with a smaller transistor budget and even cache sizes can decreases per core due to single purpose use. Since it's single use, you can also clock gate it completely when not in use.

I'd rather like to see a phone chip design with a hundred tiny cores each anchored to one process in place of 4 A55 cores.

Base58 has existed for over a decade now, so I wouldn't exactly call it a "new" format at this point. And I've been using it for almost that long, so it's old hat to me.
My old desktop is still a beast with a 10 core Xeon and 128GB of ram. I'm investing in a new rig to speed up my rust compiles. The current machine is 4 years old now, so I can afford to wait a few months for a build that will last me that long.
But AMD did just that with the Ryzen 4000 series.

I'm on a 3 month wait list right now to get an 8 core/16 thread AMD Thinkpad. Nobody else currently produces a sub-15W part with that much computational power.

The major difference vs the M1 is that AMD's micro-PCB design scales in core count rather than producing a single dense power-efficient die.

Heh.

The product disrupted hormonal and water balance, causing edema to form throughout the body of the animals, reported by the Russian business consultancy, which brought studies from Bashkiria State University.

“Meat obtained from animals fed with Paprin contained an accumulation of abnormal amino acids that were incorporated into the membranes of nerve cells, thus disrupting the process of conducting a normal nerve impulse,” said Raisa Bashirova, principal investigator at Bashkiria State University, who added that it was even harmful to humans to paintings with Paprin:

“Factory staff and local citizens were presenting diseases such as canker sores and bronchial asthma. “
In the 1990s, almost the entire production of bioprotein in Russia was stopped. Gaprin, although it had proved to be safe and efficient, could not compete with rather cheap imported protein feedstuffs, which began to land on the local market in large quantities. Now, several decades later, bioprotein production in Russia seems to be getting a second chance.

We started developing Type Studio because we were annoyed by how over engineered many video editors are.

Our approach is to edit a video based on the transcribed text. So we match each transcribed word with the video sequence. If you delete a word or sentence, the corresponding video sequence is cut out. If nobody is talking, pauses are represented by dots which can also be edited. The whole application runs in the browser.

The goal is to make video editing easier and faster. Of course this is only suitable for videos that include some kind of speech.
And, in iOS 14, you can also grant an app access to “imprecise” location data, which reduces its accuracy from about 20 feet to 2 miles.
I can say with more than a little bit of experience that the 'tools' never get written properly, as budget is is now blown, and the project timeframe is over-run.
You're arguing "slippery slope."

The answer to any slippery slope argument, when asked "when does it stop" is to just choose a point to stop.

I remember a fully fledged meeting with a whole bunch of people around the table discussing how they'd like the project to look.

Gitea 1.13.0 Is Released
Nobody cares. That's really it. There is too few people that would want it, therefore its fiscally irresponsible to offer it.

Is $100 really that much? Get a second hand gpu from 5 years ago for less. Those don't have issue with video though you might have to look for right connectors.
Not necessarily. You can always say no to adding things.
Yeah sure, if you have significant experience before, but then E4 would be a total mis-hire.

Then E5 or E6. But E6 would already mean you were essentially a team lead before you even started. Will they mis-hire you two levels apart? Maybe, rarely, if you really screwed up that interview?

But the OP also says he "became a good engineer" and he "became a team lead". And that is simply not possible. We do not talk about people who "were" a team lead and didn't know it. We are talking about people legitimately hired at E4.

PHD? Perhaps you can do it in two years, but a PHD very likely has a lot of the skills you need already, so it's not a fair basis to start from and they studied up to 6 years longer than a normal Master.

What bothers me more is the E6 -> E7 -> E8 promotion with the associated salary. That is just legitimately NOT possible at Amazon. This would mean you went from junior engineer to Senior Principal Engineer in 8 years. Well good luck with that. Maybe if you were the next Steve Wozniak, you could pull that off. I know A LOT of very smart people, people from M.I.T., Carnegie Mellon, etc. and they are challenged by just being a Senior Engineer at Amazon. Principal and Senior Principal just requires a skillset most people will never develop and according to the OP, that is not required by Facebook. In which case I consider it possible to get promoted to E8 within 8 years. This just means Facebook levels mean literally "I was successful", not "I am a competent leader". Which is fine and I will keep that in mind for the leveling discussion should I ever be on the lookout for a job there...

If you are smart (and I think the OP is very smart, don't get me wrong), and you have a good portion of luck to be in the right place at the right time, I imagine the OP's path to be possible if levels are handed out by "success". But this isn't meaningful to anyone else. The OP may have had a very different experience without a good portion of luck. Or at a different company, like Amazon.

To prove my point, I would encourage E8's at Facebook to try to apply as (Senior) Principal Engineer at Amazon and see how it goes.
Thank you for the answer!

>Ryzen 5 IdeaPad S540

Too bad that, like most Ryzen laptops, it only has a HDMI 1.4 port just like every Lidl/Aldi discount bin laptop from 2012, so you can't get 60Hz at 4K on your external monitor, which is laughable for a device that costs almost a thousand bucks. HDMI 2.0 devices have been on the market since like 2016 already.

I don't know why all OEMs gimp the Ryzen variants like this. It's either they have slower USB/HDMI, or worse screens, or outdated wireless or less RAM/storage than the Intel version of the same device.

One theory I heard, is Intel requires OEMs to sell a certain percentage of their chips on premium machines if they want to stay on their nice partners list and get their chips at good prices, so OEMs, in order to stay in Intel's good graces, just gimp the Ryzen ones to force your hand to buy Intel if you want no compromises, other than an outdated CPU.

My aging laptop is in dire need of replacement and I would also want to replace it with a Ryzen one but the very few ones that have no major compromises have been sold out for months and show no signs of being restocked(in the EU at least) whereas Intel's outdated 9th and 10th gen based laptops are in stock everywhere but I wouldn't touch tose with a 10ft(3,048m) pole.
