> I wouldn't replace my M1 MacBook pro without seeing significantly superior performance / watt numbers

What makes you think that this will happen in one generation? The point of the M2 is not to get M1 users to migrate, it’s to keep improving so that MacBooks are still better products than the competition. Apple does not care that you don’t get a new computer every year, they are most likely planning for 3 to 5 years replacement cycles.
This article overly focusses on language derived synthesis. Obv because prompt engineering is a topic atm. H/w style transfer, image to video, etc is not necessarily derived from linguistic inputs if it's unlabelled. We could also hook up a brain to GPU network. Then having direct brain neural synthesis "beyond" language.

I agree with the author that the linguistic focus of 20th century philosophy was shown to be fallacious though. Just look at the later Wittgenstein versus the Tractatus. Early Wittgenstein and its many pitfalls should be required reading @ Google (or maybe it is and the engineer in question "rebelled"). Language megalomania is not a good point of evidence for proving the existence of sentient machines.

There's plenty of room for both. If you have lots of bad experiments and filter the ones you agree with, the combination is even worse because there's an apparent consensus.

like most here I don't particularly agree with the main premise of the piece (objectivity taking a sideline to how something might affect a population), but I am a little saddened if not scared at how vitriolic some of the comments are here. there are many vulnerable populations in the world that might negatively be impacted by publications, to label even the thought of that as a factor in ethics as evil makes me uncomfortable

This is incorrect. Politicians and doctors refused to do very much about it because gay lives weren’t considered worth saving. Before the viral factor was discovered it was believed it was literally divine punishment to kill gays.
Build a WebAssembly Language for Fun and Profit Part 2: Parsing
I think that's a pretty unreasonable comparison. There's a difference between religious dogma which makes claims about reality, and norms or ethics. Discrimination and harm as discussed in this document isn't about factual findings, but is about "superiority or inferiority of one human group over another" (i.e. a value judgement), "the rights and dignities of an individual or human group" (i.e. social norms and conventions), "text or images that ... disparage" (again, value judgement), "embody singular, privileged perspectives" (an issue of viewpoint, not disagreement about facts in reality).

None of these prevent researchers from sharing their evidence-based conclusions, only the projection of value, status, dignity, or privilege onto those findings. As a society, we can agree to be civil, respectful and uphold particular values while we investigate objective reality.

Trying to claim that an ethical stance for non-discrimination is equivalent to creationism or geocentrism is making type error; one makes claims about norms and how we should behave, and one makes claims about how the world works whether irrespective of our beliefs or behavior.
Yes, Paul was mentioned in the context of Robert’s worm in the book, specifically:

>> Whatever his purposes were, I don't believe he was in cahoots with his father. Rumors have it that he worked with a friend or two at Harvard's computing department (Harvard student Paul Graham sent him mail asking for "Any news on the brilliant project"), but I doubt his father would encourage anyone to create a virus. As Bob Morris, Sr., said, "This isn't exactly a good mark for a career at NSA."

From Wikipedia: “The Morris worm or Internet worm of November 2, 1988, was one of the oldest computer worms distributed via the Internet, and the first to gain significant mainstream media attention. It also resulted in the first felony conviction in the US under the 1986 Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It was written by a graduate student at Cornell University, Robert Tappan Morris, and launched on November 2, 1988, from the computer systems of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. [1] He went on to cofound the online store Viaweb, one of the first web applications, and later the venture capital funding firm Y Combinator, both with Paul Graham. [2] ”

The few "10x developers" I've had the privilege of working with are also multipliers of other people. They can learn, debug and build things maybe 3x-5x as fast as a good developer, but give them 2-10 good developers, they can help each of them solve problems 2x as fast or build frameworks that let them be 2x as productive and that's how they get another 10x.
IIRC, posts with more comments than votes are automatically penalized. It is #11 on the front page now, though.
10x engineers definitely exist. There are 10x basketball players, 10x boxers, 10x guitarists. Why would there not be 10x programmers?

Further, if programming skill follows a normal distribution, the 10x programmer bucket is under 1% of the population. You, dear reader, are probably not a 10x programmer.

The true 10x programmers will not have 10x productivity in most giant tech companies. Google and friends have put in place mountains of progress in pursuit of downside protection (eg extensive testing, release barriers, and so on). Google invented Golang partly to address issues with mid level programmers being unable to code well.

These downside protections also blunt any benefit a 10x programmer could have, which is why so many people claim to have never seen them.

I wouldn't call being on the receiving end of racial slurs for dating outside your "race", being shunned for being queer, and other such things mere "disagreements". (This was me, as a teen, in the 90s).

It is really easy to romanticize the past, back when you were younger and just didn't have the same grasp of the world. Especially if you had a decent enough life at the time.

> So instead how about this theory: the internet in general was pretty wealth-marked in 1998 (far more than we realized, with our American mythology of universal white suburban middle-classness and “global village” Internet mythology) BUT, of people who were more wealthy in 1998, the most likely to NOT have internalized upper-class practices were the grandfathers from the “Silent” or “Greatest” generations before the postwar “mass middle class”. Our parents were beavery professionals who settled into the suburban cocoon, we knew we were destined for glory (or at least selective colleges) from birth, but THEY were socialized into some pool hall, street gang, farmhand, enlisted man kinda culture where boldness of assertion counted more than patient derivation from shared principles.

> And if the Anglophone internet is ::gestures:: like this now maybe it’s cause it’s less of a professional-class preserve? The dividing line maybe being smartphones where “people on the internet” went from “people who specifically spend $X/mo on it as luxury” to “people with telephone service”? That’s a real possibility, that for all the “Global Village” stuff the wondrous effect of the ‘90s internet was to create a cultural space that was MORE gatekept by wealth and education.

> That’s… kind of depressing, though. “Haha you thought the world was getting better because you were eliminating elitist barriers but actually it’s cause you were making them higher, which is good because the poor and non-elite are disproportionately idiots with worthless ideas and to the extent they’re on top of things the thing they’re on top of is undermining the basis of a good society, and anyway those times were a phenomenon of a narrow early adopter base and you’ll never ever get them back unless you make the non-elite economically and politically irrelevant.”

> Depressing but very well precedented, that’s exactly the arc newsprint, radio, and TV followed before.

I know many 10x developers, they actually work 1/10 of their workweek, yet deliver 1x.
But sometimes the little details make a big difference, and it's hard to know in advance which ones those are. Like for years I ate boiled brussle sprouts, rarely, grudgingly, because they're good for me. Then a friend properly roasted and seasoned them and ohh sweet mystery of life at last I've found you. So many experiences are mundane in the hands of a noob but magical from the artist that knows all of these little unimportant details.
Wiping out species getting aggressive because we destroyed their habitat through "self defense" is a funny thought

I would go further and say we actually do have quite a bit of hard evidence that societal disagreements were more civil several decades ago. Bipartisan legislation, violent threats against public figures, mass murders, and attempts to violently overthrow an election have all gotten objectively worse since the rise of the internet.

I don't know how much the internet has caused this deterioration, but it is strongly correlated.
This is the end of objectivism and a terrifying rise of subjectivism. Emotions, feelings, offense, sensitivities, racial background, gender, etc are now more important than nature, reality, rationality, logic, truth and facts.

Live Coding in Playwright
Hi!

I created a library at work that I'm pushing to get open sourced now.
It provides live coding functionality for Playwright tests.

It also has an extremely powerful user configurable recorder.

I'm looking to add support to make it page-object-model aware next.

It took 2 weeks to make so far, is < 100 lines code in playwright test side and < 100 lines code in the browser side to do the entire thing.

Everything kept folding down smoothly and (almost) perfectly.

I'm very proud of it :-)
A former employer is clearly the most official and important source for these sorts of things. Man do I look stupid.

It's funny how nobody can actually come up with a media report or and actual death registered by japanese officials.. (Yes the japanese and US government track this kind of stuff and even release official reports.. but guess what's missing from the entire quarter in which near is said to have died)
Hiding results is a good way to end up with people not trusting what you say. Truth should be paramount for science to flourish, even if the conclusions are not palatable.

There still is a bit of a runtime system that you'd write in something like C - you'll see it in the "c" directory of the linked chez repository. Chez is reportedly very fast, it's much easier to use that than write your own from scratch.

I don't know the Racket situation (although I am using their chez fork), but I know that the Idris language chose to move from having their own C based runtime system to chez for the Idris2 rewrite. The reasons that I've seen were that it was much more performant than they could achieve on their own.

I suspect something similar is at play here. That the racket team wanted to concentrate on what makes racket special and leverage Chez for performance.
We should get past the belief that those who aren’t on our political side are just lacking education and not thinking properly.

You might despise the candidate (and to my opinion most candidate can be despised in many ways), but that doesn’t put all their voters at the candidate’s level, nor preclude supporters from “using” their candidates to push a specific aspect.

To me that’s the lesson times and times again, when we think some candidate is obviously non viable and we’re just dumdfounded as they’re elected.
The perfect shot! XD

I consider myself above average and a key distinction is not wanting to build complexity. Microservices, k8s, fancy languages, or integration into things like Dynamica CRM are all generally mistakes unless you have a very good reason for doing so.

I also spent a lot of time optimising my workflow, which leverages build/test on change and large volumes of automations. Unit tests are also key.

As long as ads are their core revenue stream, there is a risk of compromising users. If you aren't paying for hte product, you aren't the customer, as the old saying goes, and no superficial rationale for why they are "different" will change this.
I think the point (which I would agree with) is that someone that is that good, in a corporate environment, will be exploited in many cases and the parent doesn't understand why they let themselves be exploited and tie their self worth to it too. It's not like all of these people are literally rocket engineers and even the rocket engineers I would argue in many cases are being exploited.

You can be a great rocket engineer without giving up everything else, practically living at the office, not seeing your newborn kid because "parental leave isn't something Elon would believe in" etc. Be a rocket engineer that takes 6 months of paternity! Be a rocket engineer that works sane hours and comes home at the end of a work day. That cooks a great BBQ on the weekend with friends and family, not with other rocket engineers on the lawn at the office because you realized that you all went in to do some work.

I'm with the parent on this and like you I would probably code if I had a different job. I made my hobby my job but that means now I have other hobbies that are not coding. I give everything at work but I take my time very seriously. You're paying me for 40 nominal hours (yes we're not paid hourly, we're 'paid to do a job' but that definition is so wishy washy and ripe for abuse that I very literally apply the nominal hours) so I do my very best inside of 40 hours and will feel bad if I even think about doing something else within those hours. I.e. I won't "do the very minimum not to get fired". On the flip side of me giving my best during those hours and being present, I take this very seriously the other way around as well. Outside of actual emergencies, you better not expect me to answer, be online, do overtime or take abuse of the "this just came in, we need this by Monday" message on a Friday afternoon sort.

EDIT: for the down voters, I get it, I mentioned Elon, which on HN is bad. FWIW I know one of those guys and the newborn thing is real, not generic 'Elon hate'.
This is not the same thing.

If you know the kid next door is being abused - and you do nothing about it, you are partially at fault for the violence happening to the kid. If you do something (call child services, for example) and it fails, you tried, and should try again lest you fall in the same trap.

It is similar with police violence and racism. If you sit idly by and don't demand change, despite knowing people are getting beaten and things like that, you are partially responsible.

I'm pretty sure the same thing happens with other things too: You knew someone was taking money from the company yet did nothing, you are at risk of getting in trouble too. It isn't a concept that exist in only one arena.

I kind of wished I would have got a position at some company to work on an AS/400. Back in the day, my company was looking for a new "solution" and considered most everything, including an IBM. But eventually we went UNIX.

What I'm curious, though, is in the world of a random back office developer, how much of the, well, "inner beauty" of the machine would I have encountered.

Most of the cool Unix-y stuff happened mostly through ad hoc integrations with random Stuff as circumstances presented themselves, and I don't know how much of the AS/400 a random (likely) COBOL programmer would have delved into.
yup, and their enterprise clients don't care, maybe they even prefer that. in the mean time, it gets salesforce enough capital to leverage to acquire the next generation of leaders to stagnate and extract. the wheel spins on...
I thought the 2FA all the big services have is so that they will deliver you your encrypted vault, rather than another layer of encryption? (I know FIDO can theoretically do that, but AFAIK it really wasn't designed for it).

The threat isn't the service having the encrypted vault anyway; we kind of trust the encryption to be decent (though of course you can't know what technological threats are looming).

The real threat is that you're putting your password for decryption into a proprietary blob with an internet connection and auto-updates enabled. It might be sending your password random places now or maybe at some later point.

Note that even a source-available password manager doesn't really solve this issue if it's not self compiled - and most of the time you'd probably want automatic security updates enabled on something security critical. But they can put anything they want to or are pressured into putting in there.

Just because that prayer lead to a miracle in the past, doesn't mean you can demand that God grants the same miracle again in different circumstances. That's trying to treat God as something like an appliance rather than an agent, and even an appliance would have instructions for when it would work.

If I may reverse the burden of proof, and be equally unreasonable, let me say that if you think that there is no afterlife, then you should go kill yourself. You're going to die at some point anyway, and this way you'll get your answer right away. It's a 100% falsifiable position, but unfortunately very few people who have done the necessary experiment have been able to communicate their findings to the scientific community afterwards.
> nor did Rome largely declare all germanic people everywhere to be natural slaves of Rome, which was the way Americans viewed their slavery.

Aristotle believed that the majority of human beings were "slaves by nature"–by their in-born constitution fit only for slavery. Many Romans wholeheartedly embraced Aristotle's thesis. No doubt they would have thought the vast majority of Germanic people fit that category.
