Good article. Some key points:

> Again, programming is a good example of a predictable domain, one created to produce the same outputs given the same inputs. If it doesn’t do that, that’s 99.9999% likely to be on you, not the language. Other domains are much less predictable, like equity investing, or psychiatry, or maybe, meteorology.

> Entrepreneur and publisher Tim O’Reilly has a nice phrase that is applicable at this point. He argues investors and entrepreneurs should “create more value than you capture.” The technology industry started out that way, but in recent years it has too often gone for the quick win, usually by running gambits from the financial services playbook.
Sure, this helps by removing some of the bias, if done right. But many times devs end up perverting the original intent of the framework.

Eg: I've seen many scrum teams transforming story ponts into days or vice versa missing the actual purpose.
Well _i_ use it and like it!
This is really cool, I wonder how much effort this would take to integrate with asset libraries. You can imagine describing a scene (dall-e style) and have it import and build something “procedurally”
> It’s because it’s not an interesting point and it’s plainly obvious.

You still haven’t said what, exactly, you are if not a chain of chemical reactions. But why should you, when it’s so obvious.

> It’s reductive and simplistic and denies a fleet of thought and study that says otherwise.

That is literally what you did, but go off sis. Did you forget that you dismissed an entire opinion with:

> You have a ridiculous premise I will not entertain.

That sure sounds a lot like “denies a fleet of thought and study that says otherwise” but what do I know.

You’re implicitly trying to make a prediction on where the technology is going based on present trends, something that the industry has never been good at.

Remember how 3D printing was supposed to be ubiquitous by now? Or how self-driving cars would lead to an economic apocalypse because of how reliant the economy is on truckers? Remember all the predictions of bitcoin going to $100k? Remember how an AI startup called “The Grid” was making news for their AI website builder back in 2016 (edit: 2014)?

Don’t even get me started on VR and mixed reality. Remember Magic Leap?

My takeaway from all this, other than that futurists are hucksters, is that progress is actually quite slow, and relies on sudden, unpredictable breakthroughs. I mean, without the iPhone, we arguably wouldn’t have smartphone apps, the death of Flash, or responsive websites. Arguably, without this single pivotal product, tech as we know it would be a very different place. I know it’s a stretch to some to call the iPhone a breakthrough, but it’s impact has been pretty huge.

The catch is knowing when something is a real breakthrough, and when it isn’t. I genuinely thought that the Oculus was at the time, and yet here we are, years later, and it seems like nothing has changed, aside from incremental improvements in VR display technology and a very niche VR gaming community.

GPT-4 is clearly impressive from a technical standpoint, useful even, but where does it really go from here? Does the technology take off, or does it plateau in its present state?

Is it VR and 3D printers all over again?

Wow! --there's a lot of rose-tinted spectacles going on in this comment thread! Flash was a security nightmare, acessibility crippled, non-searchable, flashing bleeping abomination.

Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if people had just stuck to making games and animations with it.
I am not pretending. I just mentioned bad things sine those are the reason we are getting deeper in shit. Good things were done by many sides but it is irrelevant in the context. I am not dishonest at all. Maybe you are.
I think the chef is saying that most people buy it and don't complain, even when it's out-of-season, and selling sea urchin is (presumably) profitable, so it's worth the occasional customer complaining about the taste.
> have to plan to lose >20% of your deposits in a single day you're not a bank anymore

When you sell your liquid portfolio to Goldman at a $2bn loss and then announce non-binding equity commitments, you’re going to lose 20% of your deposits. Now that banks can borrow against the face value of their Treasuries, the same duration problem shouldn’t recur. (That said, we’re stuffing an ungodly amount of crap into the FHL bank.)
> A war between China and Taiwan is quite possible.

That’s why China is using Russia to try to tie down, wear down, and/or split the Western alliance, not because of either national or ideological affinity. It creates a temporary, or if really successful more durable, opening.
Right, but _they_ are also are also firmly planted within the fiat monetary system. Ultimately their will be a socially defined singular cryptographic definition of economic value at some point in the future.
The first iPhone was 2G when Europe had 3G since 2003. It didn't have copy and paste. It did have a touchscreen that no other phone had. It was basically and iPod touch with a phone and a 2G modem. My Nokia N70 was a better phone. I waited 4 years to buy a phone with a touchscreen. Then I thought they were mature enough I bought a Samsung S2.

I’m never going to spend £3000 on a headset. For that I could get an absolute top of the line desktop. Hell I could get a car for that. Both would be far more useful.

It’s just ludicrous money for a shit product. Even the first full VR headsets came nowhere close to that price.

> It would then be the manager's responsibility to extrapolate my likely completion date, learn my accuracy over time, adjust to it and manage expectations of upper management.

That is something that should be happening for job evaluation anyways. I've also never seen it happen.

Seems to be an unfortunate trend in management in general. My mother worked as a nurse and complained the managers didn't bother to walk the halls to check up on things.
We are wildly off-topic here but I use a keyword filter to get rid of that stuff and the number of hits it gets is almost always in the 4-6 range, sometimes creeping up to 8. I still think that most of the noise is organic but the unrelenting consistency of it makes me wonder.
“WASP” has the specific connotation of northeastern white people of longstanding American lineage. (The term typically excludes southern and Appalachian whites that technically also are Anglo Saxon and Protestant.) Those people are the vanguard of social liberalism today, in states like Massachusetts and Connecticut.

In Florida, meanwhile, non-Hispanic whites are just 51% of the population (versus 65-70% in Massachusetts and Connecticut). And the white people who are there aren’t really “WASPs” in the typical sense of the word. DeSantis, of course, isn’t a WASP at all. He’s a Catholic. American social conservatism is primarily a coalition of southern whites, “ethnic whites” (German, Italian, and Irish), and Hispanics—none of whom were traditionally considered “WASPs.”

> China will be more than happy to sell us chips

this is a narrow view of the possible outcomes. a huge amount of our military and intelligence capabilities, as well as much of our advanced manufacturing (i.e. the things that make us relevant on the world stage), completely depend on TSMC's chips. China controlling TSMC could remove the USA from the world stage in a single decade by simply refusing to sell us the best (or any) chips.

Similarly, military and intelligence sources would likely volunteer to stop using TSMC chips immediately since Chinese control could mean those chips are compromised through-and-through.

Basically, Chinese control of Taiwan represents an existential threat to US global power and the US would likely go to the mat over it. Paradoxically though, I think this fact also reduces the likelihood of open conflict over Taiwan, because unlike Putin, Xi does not appear to let his ego drive bad decisions.

The most likely outcome is a new Cold War, with smaller conflicts around the chip industry in Taiwan, most prominently seen at the moment with China's continued expansion into the South China Sea. They cannot risk open conflict over TSMC directly, but they can try to flex their growing naval power over the shipping lanes.

If there will be a conflict over Taiwan, it will likely not happen until the 3nm fab in Arizona is operational in 2026 (planned). We'll likely see a huge shift in the dynamic once we have US chip supply lines secured inside our borders. The paradox will be resolved and Taiwan will be vulnerable to invasion since the US won't need to risk lives and material defending it's chip supply chain, but China will still want to control advanced chips at the level of TSMC's production since while they have made huge strides to catch up over the last several decades, they are still struggling to match TSMCs level of expertise (as we all are).

I wonder if this is why my heart rate goes up and I feel inexplicably enraged when I can slightly, just barely hear my roommate two rooms away watching TV when I'm in bed trying to fall asleep. I ask for things to be turned down and I use a white noise machine (have tried ear plugs, they work but they make my ears hurt), which helps, but sometimes the only effective thing is to pull a pillow over my head. It's even worse with people who snore. I can't imagine how my mother has slept next to my sleep apnea father in the same bed for 40 years and not gone insane.

We don't understand them. There is a key difference between building something from parts and running gradient descent to automatically find the network connectivity. That difference is that we don't understand the final result at all.

There was no moral hazard created because bank shareholder equity got zeroed out.

One of the nice things about redhat/opensuse was the abi/api compatibility, being able to run much software on newer releases. And RPM is way nicer than APT.

Ran opensuse on sparc like 20 years ago, ran opensuse tumbleweed on my desktop workstation for years. It Just worked. I even have opensuse installed in WSL2 for fun now.

But CUDA is the future, and google and others choses Ubuntu. I love WSL2 being able to install stable diffusion and other gpu enabled apps.
Wut? From the data sheet:

"ON CHARACTERISTICS (Note 1)

So much this.

Maybe we can add containers for desktop apps which no end user wanted ever but might be easier for packaging apps running on every distro - except there are now snaps and flatpacks so back to square one with .deb and .rpm ;)

Meanwhile there have been exactly zero new F/OSS desktop apps for over a decade except IDEs and even those are mostly Electron-based. What a mess.

Of course these things never die, MIPS wont die. ARM wont die. Nobody is claiming they will. But also, you don't start very many a huge amount of new project with 8052s.

Performance isn't that important maybe (depends on the application), but energy often is, size is, having lots of vendors is, having a large software base is.

> So I'm really not sure how or why RISC-V would break into the uC world / low end.

If by lower end you mean 8-bit, then no it wont. But one of the large adopters of RISC-V are actually places where there used to be tiny 8-bit cores and now people want more substantial 32-bit cores and RISC-V is really good there.

And it has already broken into that market as there are already lots of RISC-V products shipping, lots of them in lots of consumer electronics from China.

RISC-V will continue to grow in that market, if you were a MIPS costumer for example, you are likely gone move on to RISC-V?

> If anywhere, they have a chance at the higher level, like at Rasp Pi level chips or stronger.

At the very low end being very cheap, not involving as many lawyers actually matters quite a bit because volumes are high. Specially when there are very competitive verified opensource cores as well.

Ibex: https://github.com/lowRISC/ibex

Used by Google in the OpenTitan Project

Open Hardware Group:

https://www.openhwgroup.org/

Chips Alliance:

https://www.chipsalliance.org

Not to mention all the commercial offerings (or commercial offerings that support those open-cores). They might not be open, but its easy to get up and running with RISC-V compared to commercial stuff.

There is just so much education moving to RISC-V. Lots of people will be educated in RISC-V and lots of people will look at some of these OpenSource cores to learn. When places like Berkley, Stanford and ETH embrace something it usually trickles down to most universities.
And fine-tune itself? Fascinating.
What value would the military get from knowing a piece of information a few milliseconds faster?
>"situation could get much, much worse "

Yes it could. And one of the reasons is that over long time nobody will tolerate hegemon telling them how live their lives. Hegemon must be smart enough not to be one but that is not what we have.

The response to "there are too many unknowns to provide any sort of estimate" shouldn't be exactly "well, we need estimates." But "okay, just do whatever" is also not a working outcome. Software is weird, yes. But other disciplines are able to provide useful planning information. Why are we unable to do that?
it's unnecessary and off-putting imo.

> The Apple branding won't be enough to turn an average headset into a successful product.

For me the Apple Branding is enough. One of the biggest barriers for me picking up the Oculus Quest is that it’s attached to Facebook.
In all these discussions, what I pick up the most on is the adversarial type of relationship people have with their managers. I don't get it. Everyone is pursuing the same goal; aren't we partners in this? I have only ever worked in big companies (20k+ employees), and its rampant there. Perhaps I have been incredibly lucky, but I have thrived in my career by actually forging a partnership with my managers and leaders. Work acquaintance does not have to be a cold, cutthroat relationship. There is usually enough to go around, and you win more as a team.
To my way of thinking, when a vote comes down to a margin that narrow, something else is seriously wrong. Frankly, democracy is probably not the right model when that kind of polarization is present.

There's a term that applied in other fields to large-scale systems that are that incredibly sensitive to their input parameters: chaos.
“There are enough zombie companies with frothy valuations that need restructuring, price discovery and of course re-tooling of their business models to a world of tighter credit, subdued revenue and higher rates,”

SVB has nothing to do with that problem. It's about higher interest rates. The end of free money for stupid stuff. Now companies have to make money.

So who's going down? TSLA, UBER, and RBLX already made it to the public markets; they're out of the VC sector. Those are the biggest ones. What are the remaining big money-losers still owned by VCs?
AI can draw hands now. That’s bad news for deep-fakes
As a product manager I often ask for and estimate for a piece of work but it’s not so I can hold the engineer to their estimate. It’s often so I can understand capacity in the team and plan accordingly. I often just need to know; is this a week or two of work or a few days.

Sometimes I might need an estimate if another team is dependent on the work being completed but i understand that most estimates are very rough and that I might likely need to go back to external teams and manage their expectations.

I think the problem that OP highlights is not necessarily a problem with estimations it’s a problem with management holding engineers to account. This sounds like a company with poor culture.

The solution to this is not to give estimates any more, the solution is to fix a toxic culture of management requiring accurate estimates and then holding engineers to account
To be fair, a multi-polar world with the level of technology that we have today is unprecedented. I don't think nations would resort to fighting in the past. It would be more similar to the cold war. Tensions, posturing in hot zones, and occasional proxy wars.

Its not like US hegemony has brought about peace. In fact, the US has intentionally provoked wars in nations that needed a regime change. Iraq War brought ISIS. ISIS brought terrorist attacks to EU and US.

Political instability in Africa has caused genocides. Often with a connection to US decisions. South American regime change doesn't happen as often as it did in 70s to 90s, but that was the source of a lot pain for people.
I think this is the first commit mentioning lazy evaluation: https://github.com/hadley/r4ds/commit/671a21b124d6263436b8fc.... It certainly looks like Hadley was the one working on that section of the book.
From a reddit AMA (dont have the link sorry), IIRC small startups dont have enough manpower to hedge their finance and more or less discouraged to hire finance teams (just focus on your product!).
It doesn't matter if the Taiwanese were to fold and surrender military suddenly. It would still be a huge a catastrophe. The west would be forced to respond in ways that would be catastrophic for the world economy in a way that the Ukraine crisis doesn't even approach. There's no way normal trade relations could continue as they have.

And the trading relationship between the west and China is the most important in the world.

There'd be famine, hyperinflation, riots, and chaos all over the place.

Even if an immediate war ended quickly, the following instability would merely pave the way for new ones.

The best thing that can happen for the world situation is for the Chinese domestic political tone to step away from the brink with all the imperialist sabre rattling, and for the US to do the same.

The second best thing is that elites in the west plan now to disentangle economic dependencies enough that if such a thing were to happen it would have less impact. There seem to be some moves on that front, but doesn't seem realistic overall.
More power but still no rtc on the baseline. The 12 bit dac is an improvement for pulse width modulation.

Though I’ll be honest I think most people use these for smart switches and power modulation devices so better dac is nice.
Lots of replies related to image hosting. We still base our containers off the public images provided by docker hub, but our customized images are stored in a private Azure container registry. This is more due to the high security of our environment than anything else. We cannot deploy from external sources.

That's exactly my point — they replicate highly specific features in images with such fidelity that their training is not analogous to humans' artistic inspiration.
Trivializes "ethical" AI. Countries and organizations are using facial recognition to decide what people are allowed to do, all sorts of opaque and life altering decisions get made with ML, but people are concerned about whether a chatbot says "I" or an image generator over or under represents demographics in pictures of CEOs and homemakers or whatever. People suck at prioritizing and love to be fed a narrative.
Like I said, wouldn't make a difference. Pretty much whatever the US gets into, we get into, too. Most of the time.

Also it's not like the US has or needs a draft. By the time conscription became such a thing in such a war, the world would be so far f*cked that Canada wouldn't be a place to hide :-(

(Also just because they're Canadian citizens, we have extradition treaties with the US, and if they were breaking a US law, there'd be process. Dodging the draft is a crime. The 1960s Pearson and Trudeau govt's tolerated Vietnam draft dodgers. I'm not convinced a 21st century one would do the same)

War sucks. Let's not have one.

There is some reason why so many people upvoted this comment and not yours to the top. Many readers here are highly experienced developers and know that there is always some responsibility on the part of management but this question also strongly tells a lacking responsibility on the developer side.
