"At core, computers are built on a set of (mostly) deterministic foundations, which follow strict rules at each tick of the clock. We built layers upon layers of abstractions upon those foundations, each of which, as well, behaves in a (mostly) reproducible and deterministic way based on the abstractions at the previous level.

There is no magic. There is no layer beyond which we leave the realm of logic and executing instructions and encounter unknowable demons making arbitrary and capricious decisions. Most behaviors in one layer are comprehensible in terms of the concepts of the next layer, and all behaviors can be understood by digging down through enough layers."

It is possible for deterministic systems to become so complex that they are unable to be understood. Physics and most natural sciences encountered this very dilemma early on, determinists posited that the world was a deterministic state machine and that for this reason the future could be predicted with enough study.

This philosophical and physical debate was resolved in the formation chaos theory, which proved that systems can become complex enough that this would be benefit of determinism vanished.

One quirk for you: using my samsung keyboard with swipe typing, spaces aren't added between words. Not sure at all what causes it. The only other place I have seen this happen is url input in the browser (which I believe is intentional).
Whose fault is it? Is it any one person/team’s fault? Management? Culture?

Everyone calm down. Not every observation on Apple's stuff is earth-shattering. In fact... none of them are, but Apple is of course partly or mostly to blame for revving up everyone's engines.

The M1 Ultra Studio is not what you think it is. It is not Apple's flagship high-performance machine. It isn't. That is still the Intel Mac Pro. The Studio is the Mac Mini update that was rumored 6 months before. The Studio is a Mac Mini, hey just gave it a new name. IOW the Studio is the low-end and entry level machine for professionals.

Also, the current newest generation Apple hardware is not a revolution. Certainly, Apple deserves praise for seamless platform switching, nice work, truly. But these new Macs are only a little bit more performant than the previous generation. Check the benchmarks. Apple's best years were 2010-2012, where each year they doubled the performance of their machines of the previous year. It took another 6 years for performance to double again. The M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra are all marginally faster than the previous generation, the Intel Macs. Except for 2010-2012, which was amazing, this slight increase in performance is entirely typical of new Macs compared to whatever model's previous iteration.

This twitter guy is talking about GPU and games. I realize GPU is important to the computing industry, but not to me. I've been a Mac user since 1989, and even if it was and is included in the machine, I've never once used the GPU. It just sits idle there while I saturate the CPU.

Macs are tools for professionals. Professionals don't play games with their tools. If Apple has somehow offended the gaming community by not catering to their needs, and also boxed the GPU performance in the M1 Ultra, it's really a win-win. Ok, it's a little embarrassing, but regardless, doesn't deserve the expected outrage from the sensationalist reporting. How dare Apple! Right? It's more like, ok, well, that sucks a little, but who gives a shit?
Even that is a big NO in most cases. Giving a 6 months heads up is a quick way to get a smaller bonus, shit work, shit attitude, maybe even let go early.
The question is what is the percentage of potential market for a specific product. If you are optimizing GPU code, that is a very different market from “all computers” or “all phones”. If the market depends on high performance GPUs, then the Ultra has potential to be a noticeable percentage of that market.
But those common workloads might just have to tweak their allocator to request larger pages? That's not a very big demand for an architecture change.
You and the author are both making the mistake of generalizing games as boring based on your specific tastes.

Unlike the author, I dislike online games, I want a more controlled experience. Unlike you, I dislike plot-driven games. I can't imagine anything more boring than watching a cutscene or reading dialog. The exception is something like Portal where the story is told seamlessly in-game.

"Games I don't like are boring" is hardly a subject worth writing a blog post about.
Always thought of muting as the other party not hearing what I say, not that the app wasn't listening. It's running after all. Assume it's listening to everything
I suggest for you Outer Wilds. It's an exploration game, with a cool mechanic that I won't spoil and a story that is just great, never had a game experience quite like it.
I wish I could find forums with my answer instead of a multitude of websites and blogs that do not answer my query. I guess I could add 'forum' or something but when I am already searching a specific query and particular piece of hardware I don't need the first page to show me retailers of said hardware.

Where do you find that information? I couldn't find anything on apple.com where they detailed the various design tradeoffs they made working on their GPU
Wouldn't a generator like this significantly increase risk of succumbing to dictionary attacks? I probably just don't understand part of what it's doing, but I'm curious.
Thank you!

I'm just not interested in pouring vast amounts of time into building game skills that have zero applicability elsewhere. Life is too short. In this sense, video games in general are a unitasker[1].

Now, if there are games with some pedagogical value, e.g. puzzle games where we need to apply/develop knowledge of chemistry to solve problems, I could warm to the idea.

I quit gaming when I went to college too, started again only recently. All the complaints about games having no purpose and feeling the same are valid for the mainstream titles IMO, but the good games are out there.

I really enjoyed Red Dead Redemption 2, Outer Wilds, INSIDE, Disco Elysium, Twelve Minutes recently. Basically games that actually have a story or feel like art instead of a grindy competition.
Yup most things start as my personal use, and if I like it, maybe I'll share more broadly

A heck of a lot. Some scripts, other GUI, but out of all the one-offs there are mainly 2 I use every day:

- s3d: fast(ish) image viewer. Basic but it gets the job done.

- Thoth: Text editor with FTP and note-taking features. Even though I uploaded it 2 years ago https://www.mirrorisland.com/thoth but I haven't needed to update anything on it because it does what I need just fine. I also use it to read error logs on various websites via FTP.
Planetside 2 is probably the one PC game everyone even remotely into gaming should try.

The massive battles are pretty much unlike anything else I've experienced in online games. The scale makes it different.

It's quite something to be a part of a 40-man platoon doing a Max-crash on a base to retake the points with just a few seconds to spare. Even better when this gives your team the overall victory on the continent.

This is an awful hot take on an entire industry. Is medical misdiagnoses a problem? Yes. Do doctors always think they know everything? Of course not. Are medical providers not optimizing? Can they? Much of the decision making is outside of their control when you need prior authorizations for patients to afford acceptable care. Companies like UnitedHealth shouldn't be making record profits in a pandemic. The author should go read a book or two before sounding off on this. It's not that simple. Dunning-Kruger effect may apply here.
I don't know the background but the dude seems both passionate but also honest about just being done.

Sometimes you're just done. Makes sense to be clear to everyone involved and put it behind you.
Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 because Yanukovych failed to put down popular opposition to abandoning the EU association agreement scheduled to be signed in late 2013. EU association was Ukraine's goal long before Biden was VP.

Russia and Ukraine were at war Trump's whole presidency. The Kerch Strait incident escalated it.

...there are modern integrated GPUs that don't use virtual memory for all global resources? I expected that was a given to even just have an MMU enforce security when accessing RAM.
The Japanese cars (Mitsubishi and Acura) that had 4-wheel steering only used a very narrow range of deflection to the wheels. It was intended to adjust cornering but not designed for major off-axis motion.
It’s exactly like that, but that was always the most likely result and hardly a surprise. The sanctions are meant to drive a wedge between the regime and the people.

Sign languages aren't English-but-via-hands (even American and British sign languages). They have their own unique vocabulary and grammar. For native speakers of a sign language, English is a foreign language.
yep, I came here to say this. gaining understanding is a very good outcome.

Most recent program: I wanted time-lapse photos of some potted plants I'm trying to grow. So I stuck QR codes on the pots and take a picture of each one each day with my phone. That goes to Google Photos, and a cron job scans new photos, recognizes the QR code, and copies the photos into directories for each plant with filenames that sort chronologically. Most of the plants died. I am a better programmer than gardener.

Most used program: I keep a journal of practical daily happenings in Emacs org-mode, organized hierarchically by year/month/day. It was too much hassle to add new entries (I'm lazy), so now I have a utility that inserts journal entries in the correct place from the command line, e.g., "add-journal 'talked with roofers to get estimate'". It's turned into an ad-hoc database for recording things like my weight, also, which gets parsed and turned into a graph.
Awesome! Thank you for this. Would you be able to upload a video or maybe add more context in a Github issue? It's really difficult getting Android right.

The combination between browser + keyboard + OS version + keyboard language, it just makes it so much harder than it should be for Android. So any additional context you can provide will be a MASSIVE help. :)
The 4-wheel steering on modern cars is typically to help with low speed turning circle size on longer wheelbase cars, not really for high-speed performance although they do put it to use at high speeds for some marginal benefits.
Should you be allowed to yell something like "fire" in a crowded indoor space? That you want to murder the president? That, insert x culture or race, "should be exterminated"?

As someone who played Rust and had to remove it from my steam account because of how much I loved it - can you elaborate?
My home automation software is janky and bad but it works the way I want it to. It's technically open source but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I actually run the same software in my car, mostly to handle music, but it has some car-specific features. A fun bit of tech debt here: I wrote it solely for myself but I'm married now, so figuring out how my wife will interact with it (other than texting me to send it a command) has been an interesting new problem to consider.

My library website is similarly jank on the level that mostly only I should use it, though I have worked on generalizing it a bit.
Don't burn the capabilities commons. You probably don't have anything, in which case, why bother people? If you do have something, that advances AI capabilities and shortens the time before AGI; and while nobody actually has anything resembling a viable plan for surviving that, the fake plans tend to rely on having more time rather than less time.

I believe that expressing an opinion is a perfectly merit-worthy reason to write a blog post, unless I misunderstand something.
For CSS and Javascript I've found MDN to be more comprehensive.

I do use w3schools for SQL syntax though - I haven't found any better resource for this, and generally Google gives me MSDN articles about TSQL which are usually of no use to me.

It's way too late for that. When Al Gore, as involved as he was with An Inconvenient Truth, was the alternative to Bush and given how little Bush did for preparing the country for climate change, the damage is done. Bush will be condemned in history as having failed to address climate change in any meaningful capacity.
My mistake... I thought the code editor was implemented using Lexical.

Weird Unicode Math Symbols and Their Meanings
The interesting thing with the 4 wheel steering systems is that the behavior actually changed depending on speed.

At low speeds, the rears steered (a small amount) in the opposite direction, for a tighter turning radius.

At higher speeds the steered (again a small amount) in the SAME direction as the fronts, for more stability.
Finally installed it tonight. So far so good. Besides the lack of slopes it's a good mod: solid art, actual plot, levels that feel connected, good gunplay, and perfect lighting for that lantern.
And what exactly one exercises by doing that?
This is reductio ad absurdum. According to you, all things are labor because they somehow intersect with a world in which labor is performed, no matter how slight the effect.

In reality, I do not labor when someone orders something from my online store. The process is automated. The income is passive.

In fact, according to your line of argument, capital investments are labor too. Even if we accept the argument (which I don't) it utterly counters your position.

Just nonsense.
>I'm just not interested in pouring vast amounts of time into building game skills that have zero applicability elsewhere. Life is too short. In this sense, video games in general are a unitasker[1].

From my perspective you are doing something wrong. I need to make nlogpost about this or I already made one.

It can be a symbol for polarization of electromagnetic (EM) waves, with Electrical and Magnetic fields moving orthogonal to each other [1].

Unlike other waves like sound waves, EM has polarization component.

In wireless communication, for example, polarization can be used as another component for diversity to increase the performance of the communication channel.

You’re missing something huge. Sales almost certainly sold features that meant engineering couldn’t focus on things the engineers thought were valuable, like better automation.

Every plan for addressing global climate disruption head-on, if implemented, would fuel an economic boom. Just, not for the fossil-fuel incumbents. So, they win, and we don't.
In my opinion you're absolutely right and I'm relatively young. (that is to say I'm born in the 90s and grew up in the 2000s).

One big argument in the thread is that mass culture was always mediocre but I think that's just wrong. If I look at the music I like it's to a large degree electronic, rock, popular music from the 60s to late 80s. Bowie, Daft Punk, Clash, Aphex Twin, dozens more.

Same with videogames. People need to take a look at what was released in a single year like 1998. Banjo Kazooie, Starcraft, Half Life, Metal Gear Solid, Ocarina of Time, etc. They still milk these franchises right now, and they've barely made any new ones since. They used to actually invent new genres of games every year.

No different with movies. My favorite movies like Strangelove, Alien, 2001, Psycho, Godfather, all ordinary mass culture stuff but great. Virtually everything in the cinemas right now is awful in comparison.

And I literally cannot be accused of nostalgia because I wasn't even born. Not just is everything homogenous but it's old. Science fiction now consists of Blade Runner remakes and Dune and Star Wars and Cyberpunk frozen in the aesthetics that are half a century old.

For people who disagree I have basically a simple question. Can they name something that is as new in form to us right now as Blade Runner was back then, or as punk and electronic music were in the 70s and 80s?
The problem is that our hears are hard to shut. Earplugs don't block vibrations, and we need our ears for other things. If you're a parent you need to keep track of your kids, for one. If someone is trying to watch a 1 hour TV show, all of a sudden there's a large window of the day where they might get interrupted and unable to do it. If they work night, they'll be a wreck because they can no longer sleep.

There's no difference between a lawnmower and a piano in that case. The later might even be worse because it's not constant "white" noise (gray noise maybe?).

I lived next door to a piano player, and even though the walls were well insulated and I only heard him play lightly, it drove me mad. Music meant to attract attention. Even with a white noise machine it was incredibly hard to ignore.

Most instruments have electronic versions that you can practice with headphones. Pianos, violin, drums, guitars. For the others you can install an insulated booth, or rent a studio. Some hobbies aren't fit to be done in an apartment building, too. I'd love to play DDR in my apartment, but the downstairs neighbor will kill me. So I don't. Choose your instrument wisely (I used to be into drumming. I just had an electronic one, it was close enough to practice. Not as cool, but hey, compromises have to be made).
We at Lambda would love to talk to you about delivering better driver support for the speakers :)
Having the live editor examples on the home page be live examples of a different editor (of a different kind) is more than a little confusing. I understood Lexical to be a code editor until I came here and saw your comment. The main page even describes Lexical as a "text editor", a term used for plain text like code. I suggest embedding the playground up the top of the main page and describing Lexical with a different term.
I can imagine plenty of issues but it's definitely a limitation in their design and I'd be surprised if that haven't ran into it before. Surely they've had a tenant destroy their instance and request a restore before.

They're in control of the architecture: rollback, backup, and recovery should all be considerations
I in no way mean this as a negative, but I find it amazing that people like you exist. Despite owning over 10,000 games (due to a digital hoarding compulsion) I think I have played no more than 30, 45 at the absolute most, games in the last 15 years.

I seem to be the exact opposite of you, in that I play a game for huge amounts of hours and just never try another unless I truly feel compelled to play it. I have multiple thousands of hours in 5-6 games over the last 4 years. Before Elden Ring in February the last game I bought was God of War in 2018.

I am truly amazed that people can exist on so wide a playing spectrum.
Just like any other entertainment type: the surface level popular stuff is quite bad, but there are some gems. The problem is that you have to work to find the gems that resonate with you, and that's actually the job part of it!
My Life as a Mentalist
My partner and I listen to music and sing to each other. I used to tune music out and ignored all music as 'background noise.'

I'm pretty sure that's false, as translation lookaside buffers simply cannot be of that size while hitting the performance requirements.

I suspect they've seen someone refer to a TLB (Translation Lookaside Buffer) and TLB (TiLe Buffer) and conflated the two.

He complains that this doesn't happen in europe. What could be different about european cities... If SF were in a european country, the national welfare system would be far better and taxes would be far higher and guns would be strictly regulated.

Blaming SF for national issues is cool though or whatever local one is in.Everyone from all walks of life like to point at what they know, the current president or their town and blame them because it's easy and visible while ignoring the larger picture of the nation or world.
