The maximum die size is interesting but not really the point. The context is more the complexity and capability of the chip, for which transistor count is about as good a measure as you're going to fit in the headline. The immediate subheading jumps to telling you FLOPs which is another attempt at summarizing the capabilities of the chip quickly. Once you have the info that it's large and fast the body serves to provide the detailed context. From that view the title serves to identify the primary context well - a very complex chip, come read more about it.

One basic thing I didn't see in the body was power consumption though, anyone know more details on that?

Being smart is not equivalent to "know the locations of a zillion and one hidden land mines".

C and C++ were weird at the beginning and their median user was smart. They just become so mainstream that, for many, programming is programming in C-like languages.
The majority of developers nowadays won't find new concepts, new ways of thinking by picking up C or C++, they're likely to have met those concepts already.

If the majority of developers picked up Lisp or Haskell, they would likely discover new ways of thinking.

This is changing, because popular features, abstractions and ways of thinking are trickling down from Lisp and Haskell to more mainstream languages.
Many of them prefer their perceived freedom living on the street vs. being placed into a living situation they didn't chose. In the handful of cases I am familiar with, including my brother in law, it's owed to untreated/neglected/self-medicated mental illness that manifests itself as a deep paranoia and distrust of authority types.
Because your quote in the post above is literally a lie due to omission of that key word - no, dutch banks did not terminate the accounts of any Corona-critics / anti-vax'ers / conspiracy nuts (the obvious/natural reading of that sentence implies they blocked accounts of people like that), they just terminated accounts of some organizations. As currently written, that quote asserts that banks not only hold power over orgs but also hold equivalent power over "undesirable" people, which is not true and would be very worrying (and relevant to this discussion) if true, so I feel that I must contest that misleading quote.
The thesis is:

> if you want to expand your concept of what programming can be, one way to do it is by learning weird languages.

Implicit in this advice is that programming is actually a useful endeavor and not just a puzzle like sudoku that you engage in mainly to pass the time. And I'm saying that the weird-language heuristic is as likely to lead you to something sudoku-like, where you face a lot of interesting intellectual challenges, but at the end of the day you don't actually get any leverage towards doing anything that is actually useful, as it is to lead you to something with actual utility.

This is a bad argument.

Perhaps try "humans capable of living in and contributing to a civilized and prosperous modern society"

and, unfortunately, I think you'll often find the answer is that they are not, nor do they wish to exist in one. They want power and total control over, hilariously, the lives of others who simply want to live in and contribute to a civilized and prosperous modern society.

They're hateful, violent, and time and time again show that they're incapable of coexisting with others who don't share their same close-minded fantastical views.

I assume the intention is to run only a bare-bones OS + Proxmox directly on the laptop with all the other functionality virtualised or compartmentalised through KVM and LXC, managed by Proxmox. Running the desktop directly on the hardware does not fit this profile.

I'd say this - having nearly everything compartmentalised with access to the laptop display - might be possible by using containers instead of virtual machines. This would not work for Windows but it could probably be made to work for those mentioned Linux installs.

Yes, there are plenty of meaningful differences. It's true most mainstream languages in industry are essentially syntax swaps of each other, but Prolog and Haskell are not that at all.
You're 100% right. Raivo is source-available, but not free (libre) or open source. I found it through a forum post and neglected to check the license.
A macro is a bit like a template in web programming. You define a structure and some variables that will be filled in. The difference to a template is, a template does not respect context, a macro does.

For example, let's say your language had 'if' but not 'case', then it would be possible to write a case macro that in the end transforms at compile time into a bunch of ifs. Macros allows you to create new language syntax and express your intent more clearly.

I agree 100% with your sentiment about not caring about who your ancestors are.

I had a larger than expected percentage of African and native American ancestry but I'm not foolish enough to think it has any impact on who I am or my cultural biases.

We've all seen those moments where an American goes to a country like Ireland and tries to awkwardly connect with them on a cultural level. It's silly and embarrassing because they are dramatically less Irish than a person with zero Irish ancestry who was raised there by immigrant parents. Not unlike the fact that an African American person has vastly more in common with an American of European ancestry than they do with any person in Africa that shares their genetics.

Wow. Maybe that’s why it’s falling down. Why aren’t engineers using metric?
I, mean, I get what you're talking about. But it's like complaining that most of the writings we have from antiquity were written by the landed aristocracy class. Aurelius's Meditations was, after all, also written by a decidedly rich guy -- the emperor of the known world. Certainly a bit biased there. But they were the only people with the time, and with the access to the resources and labour, to propagate their ideas in multiple copies. Not much has fundamentally changed on that one.
From my point of view it's the proliferation of sources of (especially monetized) information competing for attention.

In the 1970s, major US cities would have ~10 radio stations, ~5 TV stations, 2 major newspapers, and no access to online content. It was not uncommon for people to spend an hour of more with their local newspaper each day, and significantly more than that on Sunday. From today's perspective, TV news felt somber. Even frightening cold war developments would be spoken about with the calmest of demeanors.

In the 1980s cable brought that to a few dozen channels and it was getting easier to get national newspapers (NYT, USA Today, etc.). The 1990s saw many cable systems with 100+ channels and people started going online in large numbers.

Now there are so many options in video (100s of TV channels, YouTube, TikTok, Netflix, Disney+, ...), audio (countless podcasts), and written content (news sites, blogs, social media, ...) that trying to get noticed in order to make money often leads to more extreme content. If people are navigating through hundreds of options per hour, how else can you get a chance to be noticed? Think of things like angry shouting in cable news, click bait, and political "discourse" on Facebook and Twitter.

The most successful early examples of this (MTV and pro wrestling in the 80s/90s, shock jocks proliferating in the 80s/90s, Fox News in the late 90s, Twitter and Facebook before 2010, etc.) are old enough that people under 40 years old have always seen some form of it. People under 25 who are most grabbed by it have seen little else. When Twitch streamed Bob Ross for a week in 2015, many young people saw him as a rebel because his demeanor was so foreign to them. People tend to emulate the norms they see, so now you see various levels of it in content that isn't so desperate to get noticed.

Mike Judge (a significant part of MTV's success in the 90s) played out where this was heading in his 2006 film Idiocracy. I think it was intended as a cautionary comedy, but it increasingly feels like a prescient horror to me.
I wonder how their neural network structures informed the hardware design, such as the dimensions of tensor products. Or is Dojo trying for as general purpose ML as possible? I imagine there is a tension between software and hardware teams where Karpathy's team is always changing things while the hardware team wants specs/reqs.

The "tiles of tiles" chip architecture seems like an Elon-obvious, let's just scale what we have approach. Do their neural networks map to that multiscale tiling well?
> Rust, Julia and Zig […] don’t look Lispy to me

Sure, I even mentioned both Nim and Rust (Zig’s comptime is interesting but I wouldn’t put it on the same level). It just seems like most language implementations with macros are Lisp variants (although which ones count as different languages is somewhat fuzzy).

> there are extremely performant Lisps out there, including Common Lisp and Chez Scheme

If you look at for example the benchmarks game [1], Lisp puts in an extremely impressive showing relative to Python/Ruby but often lags slightly Java/C#/Go. But more importantly, the Lisp code is often very non-idiomatic [2], with lots of special annotations and even turning safety features off. Maybe it’s acceptable for optimizing very narrow hot spots, but I wouldn’t want to write a lot of code in this style and wouldn’t expect most third party libraries to be written that way.

I don’t think any of this is the fault of Lisp implementers, but more that the basically default (although not only) data type provides the semantics of dynamically typed linked lists, which are inherently (relatively) slow and tricky to optimize. And even if very clever optimizations exist, relying on them to get adequate performance is less than ideal, since it’s often not obvious where you fall off the fast path. Of course many applications aren’t performance sensitive enough for these sorts of things to matter much, I’m thinking about 3D games etc here where you usually want control of memory layout.

This won't stop. Rich people telling others how to live their lives has been going on for a loong time and there are many incentives for them to continue. Including tax loopholes..and you know how they feel about that.
Self made rich people lived life a certain way and made their money through a combination of hard work and luck. But you need to do a lot of work to be able to recognize and take advantage of luck when it presents itself, plus the risk taking mentality. There is a very big difference from a rich doctor or lawyer and a wealthy entrepreneur.

I don’t believe that all rich people “exploited” those that work for them. Private businesses have customers who (in a non-crony system) voluntarily chose to give them money. It is the most noble and honest way to earn a living.

So they have interesting stories to tell and things to say as they accomplished a rare thing a lot of people dream about. Makes sense to me.

That's right, and I never said they were equivalent. But I think being smart is a prerequisite to navigating C++.

> If the majority of developers picked up Lisp or Haskell, they would likely discover new ways of thinking.

Yes, I agree. But the problem is that the weird-language-with-smart-users heuristic is as likely to lead one to Nock and Hoon as it is to Lisp and Haskell, and I don't believe that you will discover new ways of thinking in the former. What you will discover (though it may take you a lifetime to realize this) is complex obfuscations of simple ideas that were discovered long ago.
I’m in the same boat. Given, we’re in nice a part of the city with 2016-level issues. But given that spiteful urban voters want to bring down nicer neighborhoods instead of lifting up their own with sensible law enforcement, it’s only a matter of time until it hits us too.

The point to call Optimistic Locking by its other name Optimistic Concurrency Control (OCC) is a great one and I'll be doing that from now on.

In the spirit of trying to keep this complex subject free of misrepresentation... Compare-and-set (CAS, or alternatively compare-and-swap) is commonly used to implement lock-free algorithms.

A 'spin lock' where a thread uses only CAS in a tight loop and not carrying on until the lock is acquired is indeed a lock and not a kind of non-blocking or lock-free algorithm.
First- no such thing as “no risk”.

The USB separation doesn’t matter. Once loaded into memory and running you have many ways in which a dangerous program can interact with the machine. The general way to handle this type of need is to use an ephemeral virtual machine so you can just nuke it at the end. Otherwise, plan to reimage your computer.

>The more they have, the more they can lend out based on the fractional reserve system.

Although the name fractional reserve might be correct it is highly misleading as to how modern banking actually functions. Practically speaking banks are limited by the availability of solvent debtors.

Colloquial language is describing an ancient process that is no longer in use. Debtors are people who promise to work, they sign a contract that they will pay in the future. That debt contract called a bond is an asset of the bank, it is a future income stream just like the share of a company. In exchange the debtor obtains a liquid form of his debt contract. The bank grants credit equal to the principal owed in the contract.

Essentially, bank money is just a share in the bonds that the bank owns. It's almost equivalent to buying a bond ETF whose share price is fixed to $1. The profits of the bonds are then distributed through interest rates. Now, the big question is, what happens when the bank is losing money because the bonds are worthless (think 2008)? It does not pass on the losses because of the free deposit insurance program that the government pays for. In fact, the incentive is to write as many (possibly bad) loans as the bank can get away with. Add onto the fact that US dollars are a shared currency among private banks, you get a pee in the pool scenario...

The central bank then engages in QE which is basically the act of transferring the bonds to the central bank and now private banks have a metaphorical share in the bonds the central bank owns. If there are 10 banks and 1 with 50% bad loans then after QE there are 10 banks with 5% bad loans. The central bank has the pee now and diluted it to the point the pee is no longer noticeable.

Of course, the "correct" solution is to just lower the value credit. That's usually done via inflation but the problem is that this "after the fact" inflation must be done through government spending. Wouldn't it make more sense to keep the value of credit the same just pass on losses directly? That would imply negative interest rates. In practice it doesn't work because cash gives a risk free 0% return which forces returns on every investment to be above 0% to justify the investment and that includes 0% interest rates on bank accounts. Essentially, inflation targeting only exists to allow representation of negative real interest rates on cash. It's a huge hack.

I wanted to limit it to the first paragraph but I felt it would be too difficult to understand without further explanation.
