> None of these organizational structures are inventive or the end-all

Sure, but that isn't the important thing. The organizational structures and theories/philosophies are already mainly "good enough".

The important thing is making that power available in a useful form.

It's the software around them that has never been good enough — not even for just entering the images/data/notes/ideas. And you can't derive any value later from data that wasn't entered in the first place.

> nothing these systems do that couldn't have been replicated 20, 30 years ago

Hard disagree. One of my important use cases is: "paste PNG/JPEG image data from the clipboard, and instantly display it where pasted — while, behind the scenes converting that to an image file on disk and the (open) standard markup to make this data compatible with 1000s of other tools — and sync all of that to all other devices within a few hundred milliseconds"

You couldn't do that even 5 years ago. With any tool, AFAIK. (And I was looking.)

It's about the software, not the organizational structures.

It is revolutionary in precisely the same way as having good cameras in smartphones is. Many, many people take 1000x more photos today than they did in 2002 — and with good reason! It's super easy. And it's now easy — as opposed to basically impossible — to make use of them later. Can't remember where you bought that thingamajing? Just search for the snapshot of the receipt you took 4 years ago on your phone.

This generation of tools is bringing this kind of organizational power to people who have never had it before — not because they technically could't have used the older, more cumbersome, slower, less capable system — but just because they don't need it badly enough to make the investment of doing that.

Making it easier — lower friction to adopt, easier to derive the benefits from — is almost the entire point.
Sorry, but how is this capability measured?

And why is it being assumed here that labor laws need to be suppressed to make iphone production viable?

Changing terms appear to have enough meaning to compel you to try to stamp out others usage of language. Isn’t trying to impose your view of the necessity of the word “homeless” its own sort of virtue signaling, just of another virtue? (In this case, I’d assume the virtue you attempt to espouse is that of adherence to traditional social mores from your youth?)

Since when is Google a German company?
Fair enough. I can see how for a limited domain of understanding, it can be a reasonable analogue for compression. I still don't see the benefit of reducing the domain of a word just to be able to put a new technology on arbitrary scale of "intelligence". I think we should be able to appreciate the power of ChatGPT-like models without lossy compressing of our vocabulary in the process.

Because that's about as long as the Russian war has been going on. It's called comparing like to like.
Calling China Commies is misplaced, its a self proclaimed communist state in the same way that North Korea is a self proclaimed democratic state. I think (not sure) China is mostly seen as "state-capitalist" by experts, which means a capitalist market with heavy state control & influence.

To label China as communist is similar to labeling the US as a company: it's a misrepresentation of the truth and says more about the labeler than about the country itself.

I don't live in the US nor represent American interests, so your strawman is useless and futile. Especially when I went to pains to paint the Iraq War as a bad thing, not a good one. Russia is simply worse.

I think you should read up more in Asia if you think slave labor is unique to China, you can start with Thai fishing industry.

Btw not that it would be case with Apple, these are Taiwanese companies with factories in China, so maybe instead blaming China blame the Taiwan, but I understand it's not trendy.

Oh and let's not forget "democratic" Vietnam with communist gov censoring internet and imprisoning people for opinions, where did I see that? And don't get me started on biggest "democracy" where you still have caste system which is mutually exclusive with democracy. Lived in China and visited all these for extended periods and it's very naive to think Vietnam or India are some step ups conscience wise.
> No, you don't, and even if that was the case you can just throw a <canvas> tag on a page and render whatever custom UI you want to that

Ah, yes. Canvas. Tell me, what is the API for canvas exposed to WASM (hint: there isn't one, you go through the Javascript API)

> This scraps decades of work in HTML, JS, CSS, engines like V8 and SpiderMonkey, etc.

And instead it forces you to do the same decades of wrok because you have to re-invent the whole rendering part from scratch (including the funny little case of accessibility). Canvas couldn't even render text properly until relatively recently.

> You may as well just toss the browser out the window and consider it a "program" you are running from the internet.

Well, of course you can't. Because there are literally no APIs exposed to WASM except a Javascript bridge.
Plenty of people live on farms and grow animals, kill them and then eat them.

North Korea deals drugs and arms in the third world and has small supplies of foreign currency with large supplies of counterfeits. I doubt the program they've been funding since the mid 90s solely hinges on cryptocurrency.
Semiconductor manufacturing is a highly specialised process. It doesn’t rely on the labor being cheap.

Until recently, a good chunk of CPUs were Intel and were made in the US.

The Chinese SMIC and Samsung were also making a good deal of CPUs.

I'm reminded of the arguments why GNU will never call GIMP by a friendlier name.
I've always said: in terms of software complexity, video games are second only to OSs.

This book describes Doom (1993), and already goes from low-level hardware descriptions (caching, pipelining) to describing 2D and 3D computer graphics (even including a discussion on perspective-correct texture mapping), collision detection, audio and I/O architecture, to the enemy AI. Little wonder that people like John Carmack and Chris Sawyer are absolute legends.

Modern video games ramp this complexity up to a wholly new level: at 144 Hz, games have to accurately output frames in 7 milliseconds or less; a single stutter to 30+ ms is noticeable. Add in the complexity of managing CPU-GPU data transfers, audio and networking, and now hardware ray-tracing. Open-world games have to seamlessly stream data to keep the illusion going (Skyrim is already considered antiquated because of loading screens between even outdoors areas—famously, the gate to Whiterun—not to mention loading screens between indoors and outdoors). They also manage gigantic state machines of NPCs movements and reactions, enemy actions, player data and quest progression, and other miscellanea like day/night time cycles. Players also now expect non-linear, branching storylines, and straightforward moddability.

Multiplayer games have to seamlessly send and synchronise user input and responses between dozens of players networked across the world, within tens to hundreds of milliseconds—a 100 ms ping is unacceptable in competitive CS:GO. A website is allowed to take several seconds to load, but that I fired a headshot at that other player's character and that it registered on that player's computer within a hundred milliseconds is stupefying.

In graphics we now have ML-based upscaling techniques like DLSS and FSR that are barely distinguishable from full-resolution rendering. Just 5 years ago we had to make do with painfully intensive Sinc/Lanczos algorithms, or blurry bi/trilerp. We have temporal anti-aliasing techniques, and rasterisation hacks that are so impressive that they look photorealistic (see Red Dead Redemption 2. Find a bright light source at night when it's raining, and look at the droplets: they refract the light from the light). I've already mentioned hardware ray-tracing that now allows real-time effects we could only have dreamed of just half a decade ago.

I would unabashedly say video games are the zenith of what modern computers and modern software development are capable of.

Given this, it is a travesty that game developers are frequently the lowest-paid programmers.
"Bloat" means what exactly: Download size? Slowness to start? I suspect you really mean complexity of the interface, but with careful design its possible to hide the complexity and provide various easy entry modes.

Anyway no one uses an alternative to MS Word / Office 365 because the alternative has fewer features.
Your views of labor law are completely wrong.

> in my second hand experience Chinese worker protection laws are quite strict.

And yes, it's very strict. Lawful working hours are 40 hours per week. Lawfully firing a employee requires higher compensation than US.

Do you really believe above is enforced in China? Next time when you visiting China, ask them if familiar with this quote: laws in China are strictly legislated, commonly broke, selectively enforced. In fact, 996 is a norm and a company that does not require 996 will advertise that when recruiting. Layoff compensation for many people is ZERO because they don't even have social insurance or contracts signed. 100 Chinese Yuan per day, you get it when working and get nothing when leaving. (That's not the case for Foxconn though. I believe everyone working in Foxconn at least has a contract.)

> I just feel really bad for these people. They probably left some country side life making peanuts to go make some real money for a while at a factory and like send their kids to college or whatever - and now westerners are like "no, you shouldn't do that. go back to your bucolic life of poverty. And btw we hate your government". Cool

Thanks, I appreciate that. I (the OP) am that kid though. And I believe getting involved in labor-intensive industries can be a better thing than what it is nowadays in China.

I agree with the rest of your post. Like I mentioned, reasons of the protest are varied.

With Kubernetes, you can easily deploy and scale your applications, and it's very fast and efficient. It's so good, it's almost like magic.

There is no expectation that you have published, you would be evaluated based on your academic record but also your industry experience. I can’t tell you how things work in the case of Industry PhD, but I can definitely tell you that since now a lot of academic fields have connections to AI and could really use people with strong engineering skills, there is a good chance you could find such a position.
I agree, but I still see it as a win: it shows that the government feels like some concessions are needed, even if those are mere signaling (and a morality police 2.0 will replace the current one).

So exist communist China for communist Vietnam, right, that's really an improvement.

Only reason companies are moving from China is because of too high cost already while Vietnam, Indonesia or India are way poorer. Plus if you would read the article you would notice Vietnam is just too small with not enough labor to replace China.

I don’t think this is very true, and I have spent time with conservatives. While they don’t think they’re racist, they also think racism is a solved problem (as if all the racist folks in the civil rights area only 60yrs ago just became good somehow?) Religious folk in general (huge part of the GOP base) don’t accept LGBTQ people at all. Policy-wise, the party never even tries to show they support these groups by collaborating on bills in congress, for example.

I mean every individual has different concepts… plenty who aren’t racist but super homophobic. And plenty of religious folks doing good community work and hot hurting anyone (assuming no one came out to them in the church!) So while conservatives vary a lot, it just doesn’t seem the party itself tries to reflect that.
That’s bullsh*t.

I'm wondering, when will programmers be replaced by AI?

It is entirely possible that Genesis acts as a fronting bank (or whatever regulation exists for cryptocurrency) which means Gemini is just a middle man providing the UI and you were doing business with Genesis.

Currently I am prototyping a web-based, collaborative approach which provides basic building blocks and allows the end-user to create and modify their own application in realtime as they use it through a plugin system, using a simple and configurable input/output system to configure data flow between plugins/panes/components.

My hypothesis is that a more modular approach is the next emergent layer of productivity. A collaborative workflow synced between multiple devices and users in realtime, with an in-app repository for new components and workflow layouts. Think foobar2k but for productivity. Google Apps on crack, where users can modify the application itself in realtime in addition to context.

The problem with other solutions is they solve one thing really well and then rely on a plugin system to fill the gaps. I'd rather see what an approach where each component does something simple but is a greater part of a larger, bespoke workflow. bash-utils for GUI-oriented, networked productivity. Currently, we have to rely on non-realtime, multi-application workflows with rigid, non-transparent data pipelines. Creating a cohesive workflow requires significant specialization, while also locking you in to a specific, non-malleable workflow dictated by app developers.

Hoping it turns out to be a useful paradigm.

Going off the beaten path always amuses me a bit as advice (what happens when everyone decides to do that?) but it's also quite true that you can often be literally tens of metres away from the most touristic locations with barely any tourists actually around you in most places (exceptions include cities that have become theme parks like Venice).

I read that article earlier and I did not see anything in there that supports the idea that Germanic people should rule the world. My own Slavic ethnicity makes me quite dislike the idea of Germanic people ruling the world so I am pretty sure that I am not biased towards Germanic people in this matter.

As for the Normans, I do not remember any mention of them in the article but maybe I should give it a re-read.
