Does TSMC "own" the technology? Because their fabs are wholly dependent on ASML, a Dutch company. And they're using that to produce tech that's designed in the west as well.
> There's no such thing as one-size-fits-all GC.

Two aspects to that.

One is the implementation, e.g. the GC algorithm. They vary widely in their performance characteristics. For the most part, they are semantically invisible. I fully expect many different engines to have different algorithms, and ultimately you can choose and tune the GC algorithm to your application's needs.

Two is the semantics. We're aware of many failed attempts to make generic runtimes, and a critical factor is how universal the object model is. Of the many over the years, most have originated for a single language or paradigm of languages and have, in some sense, too high a level of abstraction. Wasm GC is a lower level of abstraction (think: typed structs), from which higher level constructs are implemented (like vtables, objects, classes, etc). Being lower level is a tradeoff towards universality that we have consciously made. That said, there are downsides, such as more casts, because it gets increasingly harder to safely encode invariants of source languages to avoid such casts at the lower level. We're OK with the overheads we've measured so far but are always looking for mechanisms to reduce or eliminate these.
This is a "non-constructive proof". It's trivial to say "regulators need to get serious" but it's non-trivial to actually get that to happen. With the current corrupt+uninformed regulators in place, just pushing them to "regulate more" results in a mix of regulatory capture and/or uninformed regulation made by non-technical experts. How do you propose that actually useful regulation get enacted?
Ah, so if the model is just converting input text into output text, it can really learn how to do just about anything? But, there may be certain aspects of model design that make it better at some types of conversions ("tasks") than others? And there may be certain data sets that you want to train a base model on to get base learning of such as general language comprehension, and then build on top of that for your specific use case?
I would find being a therapist extremely difficult. Patients can be in a lot of pain, and your tools for helping them are limited. Frequently, truly awful things have happened to them. The problems are mostly insoluble, and your job is almost by definition not about solving them.

Anybody with a sense of empathy would find that very stressful. Many are able to handle that in a variety of ways, but I don't think I could. I'd end up dwelling on something awful I heard.

Good for you, finding something meaningful that makes the world a better place, against challenging odds.

> The only times I have ever had a problem with songs not being on the iPhone are when

But would you even notice if the song showed up in your itunes list "as if" it was on the phone but, when you played it, it grabbed it off the internet (with not delay, because it streams it). I expect most people wouldn't notice this at all.

> But it does mean that either because of user error or unusually bad products

- The issue with it loading songs (that you have told it to put on the phone) from the internet is, as far as I was able to determine, intended behavior.

- The issue with it renaming every song to a "random" alphanumeric string is, also as far as I was able to determine, intended behavior. Although needing to get the songs "back out of itunes" is, I imagine, an edge case.

- The failed backup restore, I have nothing on. It didn't work, but it was long enough ago that I don't recall why. I do not think it was faulty hardware. It could have been user error... but the entire point of the iphone argument is "it just works"; "you didn't do it right" isn't really a reasonable response in that context. Especially when you consider we really couldn't find a way to recover from it.

Just guessing this would be used in proscribed circumstances, such as a hostage situation or someone holed up so you can further avoid hurting bystanders. The advantage is you don't have to act in a fraction of a second because in the person + robot system the person representing the law is not in immediate mortal danger and is not put into a life-death decisionmaking pressure. So presumably the outcome for law abiding citizens is improved.

Building Distributed Kubernetes Orchestration on a Hyperscaler
At Section, we’ve been hard at work providing a Cloud-Native Hosting system that continuously optimizes the orchestration of secure and reliable global infrastructure for application delivery.

If you’re a customer, you know Section’s sophisticated, distributed clusterless platform intelligently and adaptively manages workloads around performance, reliability, compliance, or other developer intent to ensure applications run at the right place and time.

In short, we make it easy to optimally run modern apps.

What would it take to roll your own version of the Section platform using off-the-shelf hyperscaler products from AWS, Azure, or GCP? And how close could you get to what Section offers?
What you're describing is tragedy of the commons. No negative consequences to not having children, but big negative disproportional cost to the parents raising them. With disproportionately privatized losses and socialized gains.

People often say you shouldn't have kids for your own retirement. In the ultimately hypocrisy, they often mean kids will be for everybody's retirement (when they're forced to pay social security taxes as adults).

The economic incentive is to let others have kids and shoulder disproportionately the costs, while you can free ride and "not have negative consequences." Immigration doesn't solve this problem at the system level as removing children from foreign tax pool into our domestic pool shifts benefits from one elderly person to another.

While the OP is referring to a "work" machine, I feel their setup is besides the point - it's the fact that it's auto-joining a synced-in Wifi that's the issue...

Essentially, what happened to me is that on my iOS device I was setting up an IoT device (which, similar to the OP, I keep IoT stuff on a different network segment from the rest on my home network by having their own 'IoT devices only Wifi'), which you can only do so via an app, by joining an 'ad-hoc' network created by the IoT device. And that's where all that began; the sequence of events:

1. joined the IoT's Wifi network from my iOS device to set it up; doing this records that Wifi connection in iOS, and the default is that 'auto-join' is enabled for newly joined networks

2. this new Wifi network is synced to my Mac(s) (all personal machines) since I have iCloud Keychain sync enabled

3. Later on, my Mac lost its primary network connection (from router reboot, or other event, etc.); Mac goes "Hmm, network down. Oooh! There's this other new Wifi that's available, lemme join that one automatically!"

4. Me later, after noticing my internet doesn't seem to work on my mac, even though it shows having a network connection: "WTF is this connected to that network?!? I don't want anything else connecting to that!!"

So essentially my mac(s) joined a new network not meant for them, automatically, without my explicit action. That potentially opens it up to security issues of the IoT device because of this auto-join it does behind one's back.

By the time the fab comes online in 2024 (which seems optimistic), 4nm should be a half-step generation or so behind.

TSMC also has a dozen or so fabs in Asia, so it's not clear how the single plant in Arizona is going to meet capacity requirements or how often that plant will be retrofitted with newer equipment.

This plant and the federal subsidies backing it seem more like a way for defense contractors to domestically source relatively recent fab processes over the next couple decades rather than something intended solely for consumer products.

The fact that consumer facing companies are interested in using the fab when it comes online doesn't necessarily mean they'll still be using it 10 years from now unless TSMC keeps it up to date.
The goal of the game is to capture the opposing player's King. Technically, you don't have to escape a check. But the other player can take your King and you'd lose. That's why checkmate is seen as a win, because on the player's next turn he can take the opponent's King and there's nothing the opponent can do about it.

In rapid chess, if you overlook check or put your own King in check, your opponent can claim the win.

Now, what happens in Human Chess, I don't know. Because I would assume that the best move would be to capture the King and win the game. Assuming that you can't capture the King because it's the recommended move, this does seem like something you could exploit to some degree.
> and my wife was 38 at the time of conception.

This sounds obvious, but apparently isn’t to a lot of younger people. 38 is considered quite old to start having children (yes it happens, but it’s called a “geriatric pregnancy” for a reason), and I’m sure it contributed to the difficulties conceiving.

A lot of young folks have been convinced that child birth can be put off more or less indefinitely while you pursue a career, but the longer you wait, the more difficult it becomes. Just another piece in the “gee, why are birth rates declining?” puzzle.

The biggest weakness is the built-in expectations it has on how packages install/operate. There are some patterns that will not fit into the box easily (e.g. native-compiled gems/node packages).

Also since things are declarative, that means things like e.g. updating bash aliases has additional friction vs the traditional way of editing the file directly.

Regarding tea bags, sometimes I see plastic tea bags which are crazy, as they must have a weak structure/large surface and the hot water surely washes out a lot of plastic.

Yes we are down to discussing tea bag brands now but as you are saying, it's an emergency :-(
I think there are a few problems here:

1. Packaging requires knowing more than just the language, you should also know how files are being linked, what to look for when you got an error. If you only know haskell, you may not know this.

2. If you wrote the correct script, it just works. But if you wrote something wrong but syntactically correct, finding the issue may not be that trivial, in my experience the trace is not very useful.

3. Not sure where the documentation for helper functions is. I think there are unofficial documentation out there but iirc it is not in the nix reference manual?

4. Some python packages with system dependencies will not work when installed through virtual environment. I haven't done serious python development for a long time so I forgot what I usually do to fix it, but I think I just packaged everything in Nix.

5. Some build tools without wrapper (iirc mold, ldd) will cause loader error.

But yeah, I do agree that packaging is not that hard, just require a bit more thoughts than just using typical build instructions and `make install`, and perhaps look at the binaries with ldd.

I'm not an OCaml expert either. I've used Haskell professionally a little bit and also know OCaml. I find OCaml more practical because you don't have to fight with "pure" functional programming when you really want an imperative algorithm. For example, OCaml provides mutable arrays even though it encourages functional style whenever possible.

One downside of OCaml is that its standard library is not very powerful and there are multiple third party replacements that are popular. Jane Street's base/core, Containers, Batteries Included, to name a few. So you have to make a choice.

Having said that, I think you can live with the built in standard library to solve most of the AOC problems.
