The bug tracker, deployment, and testing tools are very mature. It was the task tracking by spreadsheet on my teams that got to me, and lack of unified project management tooling across teams. This made tracking dependencies and planning more difficult (leading to more meetings). There are definitely in-house tools available. It's just another "YMMV considerably" element of things.

A lot of this reflects the "professional executive" MBA-ization others have mentioned. When folks who've never been engineers, or never worked on shipping products are the ones managing engineers, it creates dissonance (and BDUF[1]). I'm pretty biased, having entered the company after a decade on well-oiled scrum and XP teams - the predictability made it SO much easier to focus on the actual work. I've always believed that fewer things 100% complete are better than many things in partial states. That just isn't the case there and caused issues for me.

>People hating on Sundar completely overlooking the fact that he pivoted Google to an AI first company 6 years ago

Wrong.

Like all good McKinsey trained goons, Sundar has been trained to jump on existing established trends.

He did realize the size of the AI swell when it was already very big and hopped on the gravy train.

The deep net powered AI revolution started way before Sundar ever realized it was important.

And all of this is nice, but none of the dollars poured into AI R&D at Google have been converted to a world changing product.

Sure, you can now get Google to recognize your pet in your photos.

But given all the shite they invented since 2010-ish in the AI domain, you'd think they'd have found a way to make something useful with it.

I can think of maybe three places where AI really shines in Google products: translate, photos and spam filtering. That's it. Given the billions poured in the AI R&D black hole, that's really nothing to be proud of as a CEO.

> you find many commenters claiming that there is no reason to replace C with Rust

I actually don't see many claim that in that thread. There are 196 comments and I didn't read all of them, but only one greyed-out top-level comment says so, and what I can skim from the other comments I don't really see a whole lot of people say "C is fine!"

There are some concerns about performance, and some other comments about (alleged) "Rust spam", but that's not the same as "C is fine!"

In my experience "C is unsafe" was already generally agreed on about 20 years ago, which is one reason many choose Java, Python, PHP, etc. at the time. It wasn't a universal consensus, but if you were to take a poll in 2003 I bet it would be well over 50%.

15 years ago, when working in the automotive industry, I made the prototype of a GPS feature that would record your travels and use simple AI techniques to predict your next destination. Prototype was working really fine (all was done onboard, not connection to external servers). When I first demoed it, upper-management told me that "no one will ever agree to have a car that record your travels. That’s too creepy!" That was 2008.

This is exactly the point of such articles and experiments: demonstrating how creepy the world become and how people pointing it are seen as the weirdos.

I wonder how many of us would encourage their children to go into a blue-collar career that may pay around $60K/year. My guess is not many; I wouldn't.
And yet the obsession with college remains. A few weeks ago, I overheard an acquaintance talking around his son skipping college and becoming an auto mechanic. Doesn't matter that the kid is now the top mechanic at a $Luxury_Brand dealership, earning nicely into the 6 figures - skipping college has to be justified, explained away, etc. Vs. if the kid had 10 years of college, a Ph.D., a mountain of debt, and was earning below-burger-flipping wages as a zero-security part-time college instructor - that'd be 100% okay.

To clarify it's the functionality which is provided using the dxgkrnl(which has both Linux kernel and WSL2/Hyper-V hypervisor components that are required to function) passthrough that makes the "Extend" functionality not work in a normal Linux VM with say a KVM based hypervisor.

The issue is that the WSL2 Linux userspace(which is basically a port of a number of windows userspace components to WSL2 Linux) has closed source libraries like libd3d12.so and libdirectml.so which have a hard requirement on dxgkrnl and a Hyper-V hypervisor/Windows based VM host. If Linux applications are developed targeting these closed source libraries they will not function on normal non-WSL2/Hyper-V VM's.

> Over the last few Windows releases, we have been busy developing client GPU virtualization technology. This technology is integrated into WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model) and all WDDMv2.5 or later drivers have native support for GPU virtualization. This technology is referred to as WDDM GPU Paravirtualization, or GPU-PV for short. GPU-PV is now a foundational part of Windows and is used in scenarios like Windows Defender Application Guard, the Windows Sandbox or the Hololens 2 emulator. Today this technology is limited to Windows guests, i.e. Windows running inside of a VM or container.

> To bring support for GPU acceleration to WSL 2, WDDMv2.9 will expand the reach of GPU-PV to Linux guests. This is achieved through a new Linux kernel driver that leverages the GPU-PV protocol to expose a GPU to user mode Linux. The projected abstraction of the GPU follows closely the WDDM GPU abstraction model, allowing API and drivers built against that abstraction to be easily ported for use in a Linux environment.

> Projecting a WDDM compatible abstraction for the GPU inside of Linux allowed us to recompile and bring our premiere graphics API to Linux when running in WSL.

> This is the real and full D3D12 API, no imitations, pretender or reimplementation here… this is the real deal. libd3d12.so is compiled from the same source code as d3d12.dll on Windows but for a Linux target.

But people are stealing the Kia’s. In bulk. That’s the issue discussed in the article. This contradicts your own reasoning about what people would want to steal.

I’d rather spend $100 on the extremely rare occasion I lose or break a key than own a car that’s trivial to steal. Each to their own though.

It's interesting to me that there's a similar problem in New Zealand with NZ-new and second-hand imports of the same model cars: the Toyota Prius C and Toyota Aqua are the same vehicle, but Aquas that were imported second-hand from Japan don't typically have immobilisers, and are heavily targeted for theft.

Given that ex-Japan models of cars are typically higher-spec than NZ-new equivalents, it's seems an odd difference; I have to wonder if there are differences in car theft rates in Japan or South Korea that play into the difference in what is a pretty basic piece of equipment in Western markets.

I won't hold my breath. From the article:

> In theory, we might be asked to give this device back. In practice, these devices are written off as soon as they’re sent to customers.

In my country, there are various ISPs with the same OEM boxes from SDMCtech. They went to the trouble of asking manufacturer to put a custom SDIO encryption chip onboard. If someone dares to touch the firmware and/or included apps (not system, but phone-home ones) the device automatically bricks forever. Not even a NAND change fixes this, as the SoC/cryptochip/NAND trio is somehow "mated" at factory. This derived in a literal invasion of these at flea markets, charity stores etc. Almost none of them work, and if they do they are thoroughly locked.

Some people like me had limited success tweaking things through ADB. This box seems to accept a launcher change as long as the original isn't erased. That works until the box updates itself and bitches again about "pirating/unauthorized use", which is quite frequent.

Our ISPs are well aware of said e-waste, and still won't budge their up-the-ass attitude.
This TB/sec of memory bandwidth is only when the data is on the GPU. The real problem is that GPU memory is expensive and models are getting bigger.

What we would like to do is what has usually been done with the cache hierarchy where you bring the data as needed to the GPU. As this would allow to only need a lot less memory, as we could stream parameters from RAM or disk as needed.

But there is a bottleneck at the pcie interface ( 32GB/s for pcie 4.0x16 ), and you can't feed the GPU fast enough. Which means you can't leverage cheap memory directly.
First line in the post is "An extremely fast Python linter, written in Rust." I assume it was a copy 'n' paste, but stripping "extremely" kinda broke the grammar.
I'm assuming you mean irrigate land.

Before WW2 in the UK, the countryside was covered with loads and loads of ponds and lakes for livestock to drink from and to keep the water table up. Fields were typically smaller with more hedgerows for wildlife to live in.

Droughts were less of a problem back then.

It was claimed the Germans Luftwaffe could fly by night on the full moon navigating by the reflection of these bodies of water, so the British govt issued orders to fill in these ponds and lakes to make it harder to fly by night.

Consequently the water table on farmland fell causing more drought problems and after WW2 these bodies of water have never been re-established by govt orders.

The history of the wild apple is also interesting. The Soviet Union paid people to conserve these, but the breakup of the USSR meant these were no longer looked after. They also displayed a symbiotic relationship with other plants just like livestock has displayed a symbiotic relationship with the land.

"Prickly shrubs, such as eglantine and barberry exhibiting symbiotic relationships with wild apples by shielding them from predators were also cut"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malus_sieversii#Conservation

If there were no wild animals, like deer that can feed on the leaves, then the bottom of trees would reach to the floor.

The main problem has been trying to feed a growing human population whilst keeping them under control, so ideas sometimes dominate which shouldn't, like we see here with solar cells providing shelter for livestock like sheep.

The issue with the COP graph (9:05) is that it's comparing the mini-split system to the prior system. The mini-split doesn't have radiators in the same place as the prior system, so he runs it 1-2˚ hotter (7:50) to get the rest of the house to the same temperature. Also, the system isn't using much electricity on warm days (8:48), so the inefficient placement of the minisplit is more dramatic.

The more interesting graph is the total kWh saved per day (8:07). The colder it gets, the more energy he saves. That's because more heat needs to be pumped into the house, so a worse COP multiplied by more total heat equals more electricity savings (at least for the temperatures he's measured).
