How about just "Microsoft made Internet Explorer"

Edit: I don't care if its good now. I dealt with IE in Microsoft's preferred form (pure shit) for 20 years.
Because I like my audio to work in meetings.
> not even a single money making niche use.

There are tons of money making niche uses of neural networks. From the branch predictor on your CPU, to trading on the stock market, to image-search engines.
I don't think it's that surprising. I know that If I didn't have a kid I definitely wouldn't have focused as much on getting raises over the years. If no one depended on me, I would have quit a few jobs for petty reasons, or even just because I wanted a break for a few months.
I am really not surprised. I'm under 30, about to get married have a decent paying job but the uncertainty of a lot of things (Healthcare, inflation, global warming, just to name a few) has both me and my SO still unsure if we want kids. It also might be that some people are realizing they would not be good parents and thus choosing to not have kids.
What rule changes can you make to football to eliminate head hits, without making the game unrecognizable? I think if that were a possible solution, they would have done it already. As is they're just tinkering on the margins with things like kickoff rules (encouraging more touchbacks to eliminate contact on one of the most dangerous plays of the game).
That depends, though. How many people reading this thread would say, "I'm sitting in my cube surfing the 'net, but trust me I'm totally working right now"?

> The trackpad experience on MacBooks is unbeatable

Only if you use it as your main OS. If you use a combination of Windows, Linux and MacOS, the latter's trackpad tends to do the opposite of what you expect. the first thing I do is change the vertical scroll direction so it behaves like the others.
I'm going to be joining that cohort one day. I've never wanted children. I wonder to what extent this is a function of me being a single guy? Bringing a child into this world is a huge responsibility. I have no faith in my ability to protect and raise a child to adulthood without failing them in some way.

Even if I somehow managed to raise a healthy, well adjusted child, there is also the specter of climate change. Is it ethical to bring a child into the world, when they will slowly watch the world they live in be slowly decimated by heat, drought, and rising seas?

People have told me that I will regret my decision in old age. Maybe that's true, but if I ever get the urge to have kids, I'll simply volunteer, adopt or foster them. If they're already here on this earth, hopefully I can have a positive impact, and my conscience is clear.
It would be a great idea if WebGPU wasn't a thing. Imo Apple and big corp should double down on their WebGPU support instead of pitching their own ideas. And if they want to support something that is production ready, WebGL2 has been out there for a while.
Hitler, who disliked Capitalism because he thought it was an economic scheme through which the Jew squeezed the world economy, also believed in shrinking markets.

His solution was autarky achieved though centrally controlled economy in which the state directed private production through subsidizes and regulated purchasing.

That's why he started a war.

The author should stick to poetry.
Professional football relies on the infrastructure of child/school football producing new players, so there’s going to be a trickle down effect from whatever happens with the NFL. Even if over 18 year olds signing contracts can waive their liability, high schoolers can’t. And mounting scientific evidence about the risk of concussions is going to cause it’s own liability issues for the schools hosting the sports.

Anecdotally, I remember a couple of my high school classmates seemed perceptibly affected by their repeated concussions in varsity football, and would discuss at the lunch table how to throw the “impact” test at the start of the year so they would still be allowed to play after a serious hit. The test compared your score after injury to your score at the start of the year, so theoretically if you do badly enough on round 1 you can still pass with a “mild” concussion.
A potential flaw in your line of reasoning --- most processors are manufactured in China.

Who is going to build ARM's newest designs if not China?
I see your point but Linux was actually designed in this way to be an open operating system, and using closed pieces of code in it, while possible, is discouraged by developers and is causing problems for their users. What is problematic to some (=companies) is actually a boon for others (=users). Designing an operating system specifically for the sake of using closed code in the system is not good news for openness, no matter how you put it.

But yes, all things considered, it's a bit similar to Apple using BSD as a base of Mac OS X - it had some positive effects on the overall ecosystem.
I did this with my startup, fairly successfully. There is a lot of great talent in multiple countries and it was nice to help them with amazing wages (like 2x their local dev wages.)

Couple of thoughts

- Modularize the codebase. DB layer. API layer. UI layer. Models. Different groups dont have access to each other's code, only to running APIs and docs

- Build the models yourself, dont outsource that. Whether its a neural network, algo, whatever. Make it yourself and expose it with an API.

- Give the backend API layer to one group and UI layer to another group.

- Everything MUST be in source control. No binaries. You have to build from scratch.

- ** You do all pull requests and merge code. You do the tagging and builds. You have to fully understand it. None of this works if you dont fully understand the pieces.

- Have good test harnesses and dummy data to work with that is representative of real data.

- Dont give PROD DB access to offshore teams, manage that yourself.

- Work with many people on small assignments. If they do well, expand the assignments. Eventually you'll have 5-7 people you trust for larger assignments.

- Write good automated tests against the API layer

You have to be hands on, or this all grinds to a halt since you get a circular blame game of the the blocking item is.
I've filed loads of bugs against GCC -fanalyzer and most have been fixed so it's getting better. Most recent fix happened yesterday: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=99260

However I do find the output to be very verbose.
But Tesla isn't a cloud-provider company, nor is it a hardware company. None of the technical specs, assembly language, API, SDKs or whatnot have been released for Dojo.

The model of "someone will find this training computer useful" is... fine. Google TPUs, NVidia DGX, Intel Xe-HPC, AMD MI100, Cerebras wafer scale AI. These are computers that nominally are aiming for the market of selling computers / APIs / SDKs that will make training easier.

Its a pretty crowded field. Someone probably has struck gold (NVidia has a lead but... its still anyone's game IMO)

-------

If Tesla's goal is to compete against everyone else (or make a chip that's cost-competitive with everyone else), Tesla needs more volume than (allegedly) 3000 chips (quoted from the article: I dunno where they got this figure but... there's no way in hell 3k chips is cost-effective).

That's the name of the game: volume. The reason why NVidia leads is because NVidia sells the most GPUs right now, which means their R&D costs are applied to the broadest base, which means those company's engineering costs (aka: CUDA training) is spread across the widest number of programmers, leading to a self-reinforcing cycle of better hardware, lower costs, with a larger community of programmers to learn from.
Yeah, you can make a point that it's a dead end if you want "real" "general AI" or whatever, but Google/Facebook/etc are definitely using it to their advantage in analytics, if nothing else.
What is there to plan for? If your company is staying remote, you either have to be a remote worker or find a new job.

If there's an option for either, I personally will be opting to go back to the office. This is primarily out of a concern that I'll be less likely to be promoted if I stay remote. There's some evidence [1][2] that this is the case, and it's just not worth risking despite my enjoyment of remote work.

Not really.

Most organizations I have worked in have either been a startup or unit of a larger organization with 20 or so workers. That includes salespeople, data entry, grant writers, many of which are not devs, designers or management in charge of UX.

Usually out of a few devs some people are focused on UX, others aren't. That's either because specialization is required (distributed systems, neural nets, ...) or chosen by developers (so and so hates React.) It breaks down to a few people who know how to code and a few who know how to draw.

Specific problems come up such as:

* difficulties managing contractors

* politics (that academic library with 15 circulation desks each of which wants pixels on the home page)

* consumer facing apps that have to seduce users into becoming involved

but if you have a lot of people and need to make things that look like they came out of one mind you hire people like Johnny Ives or Bob Carmack or Tsunako to provide leadership.
The very important point that a jurist friend noticed: there were past or current contracts between Orange and Entr'ouvert.

Extract from the appeal judgment: "However, it appears from the elements submitted to the proceedings that as early as 2004, the parties maintained business relations, during which the Orange company very quickly showed its interest in LASSO by requesting various information/trainings and services on this software."

Training + Services = contracts. So the judgement actually makes complete sense.

(Original text: “Or, il ressort des éléments versés à la procédure que dès 2004, les parties ont entretenu des relations d’affaires, à l’occasion desquelles la société Orange a très vite montré son intérêt pour LASSO en sollicitant divers renseignements/formations et prestations sur ce logiciel.”)
Exact same experience. The app backs up into icloud and gets restored on backup restore just fine. But no 2FA codes are present after restoring, so I had to enter them manually.
I don't know what Glean is used for, but here are some guesses for this kind of technology:

- find references / go to definition for web tools, like when reviewing pull requests

- multi-language refactoring, e.g. modifying C bindings

- building structural static analysis tools like coccinelle, or semgrep, but better
You can (I guess to an extent). But, you cannot use iOS however you see fit - it's probably in that wall of text you agree to every time it updates.

I get all these laws etc, but they are all at the behest of other big business who wants to take the ecosystem apple made and profit MORE off of it.

This whole thing does not help small devs, or consumers. I would argue apples PR stance that it actively basically harms consumers is 100% spot on.

The problem may be that people in ios have grown to not be looking over their shoulders for scams, but all of this will just bring about that exact thing.

The grift as soon as ios/app store opens up will be insane. You can't stop it in an open platform, and again, the average tech user is not at all savvy about tech.

There are probably good solutions to this, but so far nothing out in public is anything but self-serving of already monied interests.
But they also didn’t produce a taxpayer who would contribute to the pot.
Clearly a a shot across the bow for Cerebras and another excellent target for the GraphBLAS.

Dense numeric processing for image recognition is a key foundation for what Tesla is trying to do, but that tagging of the object is just the beginning of the process, what is the object going to do? What are its trajectories, what is the degree of belief that a unleashed dog vs a stationary baby carriage is going to jump out?

We are just beginning to scratch the surface of counterfactual and other belief propagation models which are hypersparse graph problems at their core. This kind of chip, and what Cerebras are working on, are the future platforms for the possibility of true machine reasoning.
While supporting high school kids throughout this pandemic, I quickly learned that a lot of these kids have near zero experience using Windows, OS X or any other "traditional" desktop operating system. Their computers were their iPhones, iPads and Chromebooks.

The strategies behind ChromeOS and iPadOS made a lot more sense after realizing this. Those operating systems aren't made to appeal to the people who have been using desktop PCs their whole lives. Rather, they're designed to appeal to those whose computing experience is pretty much ChromeOS, iPadOS and similar mobile platforms.
Fwiw, while there probably isn't a _good_ public relations response here ... N=1, when I see a company publicly managing escalation via public shaming, it inclines me to steer purchasing decisions away from them in the future.
Because he himself is male, and got the Y chromosome that makes him biologically male through the biological male line.

His X chromosome from the mother could have come from either her maternal or paternal lineage, so it seems less "direct".

Edit: I presume a biological focus given the other comment on how by not having children, he becomes a dead end of 4 billion years of reproduction.
> The common argument against that is that the 30% also goes to actually developing iOS

How were operating systems funded before vendors could take a cut of every transaction?
Looking at the installation instructions for Docker on Mac/Windows, what is the expected way to install the Docker Engine without installing the Desktop bundle?

From https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/binaries/#install-cli...

> The macOS binary includes the Docker client only. It does not include the dockerd daemon.
My interpretation of that quote is that if a language is so complex and unergonomic that it needs complex tooling for developers to be productive, then maybe the language is poorly designed.

Advanced tooling should be a nice-to-have, not a requirement.
Right, so that's the point where your job offer should say "Remote - US" or "Remote - UTC-8 +-3h".

And I have seen a few companies do that! I would say that this is around 20% of the companies.

The other 80% simply list those jobs as "Remote", so they show up on their job pages under all continents, or at least, under their "outside the US" filters.

Then sometimes it's not mentioned at the top of the job offer, but in the footnotes with the "we hire regardless of disability etc." statements.

All of these things are fine. They're just a far cry from that blog post that the CEO made 10 months into quarantine, talking about how the company will open itself to global remote work.
Is it just me or are the wildfires much much worse this decade than they were the previous two?

I live in Utah where all the smoke from the west-coast wildfires likes to come take up residence, and I can't recall more than a single summer before 2015 when wildfire smoke was pervasive outdoors. But in just the past few years it seems that a good 50-80% of the summer the air outside is completely unbearable due to smoke.

I can't be making this up, this must be a recent phenomenon. But my Google-fu is failing me in trying to find a chart that confirms my intuition. I'm curious: what changed, and when exactly did this new trend begin?
> Microsoft has admitted to gaming Hackernews

This sounds interesting. Please elaborate!
That's great that Favre came out to say that; he's considered one of the toughest players to ever play the game.
Demand for homes in dense cities outstrips supply though, and I suspect this will continue to hold even if all office jobs offered remote work as an option to those that want it.

Nevermind the fact that only a fraction of all jobs can be meaningfully done remotely, and a majority of employees wouldn't take the option if it was offered anyway.

You can argue that remote work drives demand for larger spaces, but again this comes down to the housing shortage. There's no reason that more 2 and 3 bedroom apartments couldn't be built if taller buildings were actually allowed to be built in the cities where demand for housing is high.
We will see plenty of high quality stuff still I agree. But much of the free stuff will be about converting you to the paid stuff.

With ads or not you are still the product. You will still be tracked because people want you to spend money on their service. People will sell that information. Companies will use it.
Boy do I have something neat for you:

Hmm. I read recently how terrorist organizations compete - by trying to do a more violent, headline-catching act than the other organizations. That's how they attract new recruits.

> The mob is motivated by many things, one of which is one-upping the other for sport.

It's not for sport. It's for followers (which extend their power to attract more followers).

And one of the ways their one-upping each other is by expressions of outrage. (One could justly call this "performative", since the point is to be seen.)
Seems to me like they did the math when they were younger. If they were below the poverty line as young adults, having children would have pushed them down further.
Zapping them with uBlock is also a good option.

Not a trivial thing to run Docker natively inside of a WSL2 environment - at least my attempts to install straight docker strictly inside Ubuntu running in WSL2 always resulted in Ubuntu’s attempts to reach some .exe with regard to Docker. I did learn some fun facts WRT Linux in WSL2 - it doesn’t have systemd installed by default.
I agree, but this article is fairly dry. Conservatives today see anything that shuts them out of any process as alarming because they are traditionally the ones who have held the reins, and I suspect this is why it's an AEI article.
Or just use it inside WSL2, which already is a Linux VM?
Should the data be collected without consent by exposing the public to it for decades or provided by clinical trials funded by the company that wants to bring it to market?
Seems interesting, but the name conflict with https://rancher.com/ is _very_ confusing. Is Rancher Desktop associated with the linked company?
Sorry and thank you for calling it out.

I should have written “Executives with interest in commercial real estate”. From heads of consulting firms to executives with commercial real estate in their own organizations, nearly all of them have a strong interest in commercial real estate doing well. I would expect most, if not all large companies to have exposure to commercial real estate and many make a lot of money from building and investing in commercial real estate.

But the people that have the strongest interest in this doing well are the people who are in the boardroom. I really think there are few similar issues where the interest of the board and the interest of employees are opposed (many workers want to stay home, many board members want them back in the office).

Take Google - Robin L. Washington sits on Google’s board and also Honeywell’s. Honeywell has $5 BN on their books in “Property, plant, and equipment”. Not sure how much of that is office buildings vs. manufacturing, but still even 10% is $500 M.

It’s not like it’s some major conspiracy, it’s just that boards are small, you can make hops between large companies, and it only takes a small push to make all large corporations lean toward return to work. For most companies with exposure to real estate it makes sense. Most others’ (I’d argue) have board members with an interest in propping up commercial real estate. Most common people do not have a direct interest, but will feel pain if the commercial real estate market significantly changes.
> They tripled storage requirements

> Storage: 16 GB for 32 bit OS and 20 GB for 64-bit OS

Though in reality those storage requirements are incorrect for current Win10. You can't fully update the OS in that small a space, at least not without some technical hacking that the average user is not going to care for. And that is before installing anything else.

32Gb should be considered the minimum for Win10 currently IMO (maybe 24Gb at a push) so the really requirements have only doubled and hopefully in that they've included much more wiggle room (so the new requirement is “to run well with common apps and some data” rather than “to operate at all”) meaning this is not comparing like for like.

Also having run Win10 on 2Gb some time ago and finding that painful, I doubt a fully updated instance will operate acceptably at all in that little.
Not necessarily; it could simply connect to a tmux session.
So the small developers are the old boys network? That's funny.

Let me tell you what will happen if that becomes the case, there would be publishers that you pay so that they release your apps in Korea and there would be large companies with enough departments to handle the hops.

The idea that this will benefit anyone but the large companies is ridiculous. Don't you find suspicious that there are no crowds of indie developers but giants like Epic who make the noise about it? Do you believe that Epic is an altruistic organisation?
Vaccines reduce transmission rates for the variant for which they are developed.

The wearing of masks for COVID had the unintended side effect of eliminating some strains of influenza.

I don't read Reddit, and I take my media with a healthy grain of salt, but we are talking about the basic function of virii and the immune system.
They also pay more taxes because they pay for schools and lots of services that those who have children take advantage of.
"Best" part is, a large percentage new computers (laptops, small desktops, AIOs) have all the components soldered.

Just toss that motherboard complete with the processor, GPU and SSD - who cares, you're using a glass straw!
I recently retrofit a new HVAC system and as a result have also gone on a bit of a deep dive on indoor air quality. The big thing I learned is that most homes -- even old "leaky" builds -- have rather poor ventilation, meaning all sorts of compounds build up in the air... CO2, formaldehyde, VOCs, PFAS, etc. Air purifiers work for particulate, but don't really make a dent for chemicals. IIRC, You would need like a 50 gallon drum of activated carbon to do anything on the chemical front.

A quick solution is to crack the windows, or if you live in a non-temperate climate, install an energy recovery ventilating system.
That word is doing a lot of work. I think this explains the phenomenon well:

That sounds like a problem, but as a customer, I see that as a feature. I do not want to be mailbombed by everyone who has ever written an app I used for some time in the past.
You're probably aware of this, but this study and many others indicate that repeated sub-concussive hits can be just as dangerous to the brain. Indeed, some would argue that the NFL's focus on concussions is a way of looking like they're doing something while ignoring the fact that there is no way to play NFL football without causing brain damage.
