> There is also the problem that if the incumbents move to undercut, then any onlooker would assume that even if they bought the infrastructure they would also face the same undercutting; and would therefore have to remain solvent longer than an incumbant to make a return

But the incumbent has the same problem. If the unit cost is $1 and they're selling for $0.90 to undercut you, they're losing money too. Anybody can see that they won't be able to keep that up forever, and as soon as they stop, whoever invested in the competition is making money.

> I think this is why there is so much focus on tech or disruption; you need some way to compete against the scale efficiency of the incumbant.

Most markets have a minimum scale past which being larger provides no significant efficiency benefit and only creates diseconomies of scale from bureaucratic overhead and internal politics. This is why companies try to commit antitrust violations to keep barriers to entry high enough that others can't get a foothold. Because once they do, the incumbent has no advantage and is commonly outmaneuvered because monopolists typically become inefficient from lack of competitive pressure and existing customers tend to hate them.

I'm not sure if you have spent much time in a functional language but I found this helped me understand what is going on with a Promise and an Observable. They're all Monads. Just like List and Map or the optional Monad.

When I first started learning that sort of thing it made no sense at all. But now it's just a design pattern that allows you to organize things. Having that understanding helps abstract away some of the mechanisms in the observable.

It helped me at least. YMMV

Yeah I don't really see FPGAs ever making their way down to consumers the way GPUs and CPUs have (end users actually programming them).

For (semi) fixed pipeline operations FPGAs will basically always be worse than some slightly more specialized ASIC like a GPU/AI engine.

One area FPGAs can be exceptionally good at is real-time operations. You have much better control over timing in the general on FPGAs vs MCU/CPUs, but I don't think that's inherent (you could probably alter the mcu architecture a bit and close the gap).

I could be wrong but I also think you get better power draw for things like mid to low volume glue chips in embedded systems because you're not powering big SRAM banks and DMAs just to pipe data between a couple hardware interfaces. This is only because of market forces though obviously, because if mid to low volume ASICs become viable in terms of dev time they'll be much better.
It's not $134k to break even, it's is that $134k less than $[YOUR RENT OVER 7 YEARS]. Unless your suggestion is we should all go homeless.

But your landlord also has to pay property/school taxes. Your landlord has to pay HOA fees. And landlord fees, business taxes, administration fees, accountancy fees, or whatever delights the US tax systems have conjured compared to the UK one.

And they have to make money. Otherwise they'd just sell the house and put the money in a tracker fund. So they have to make 5% per year on $250k. Which comes out at...

$1250. Oh, how odd! It's the same as the 4% mortgage payment (smart readers will notice that's today's mortgage payment, not the low mortgage rates over the last 10 years!). Or they put 20% down on the house and pay a mortgage. For a higher amount than a home owner. With no tax breaks.

So they have a base price, $1250 + taxes + HOA, etc. ANything less than that and they should just stop being a landlord. A quick google brings this up about the US rental market:

The amount of rent you charge your tenants should be a percentage of your home's market value. Typically, the rents that landlords charge fall between 0.8% and 1.1% of the home's value. For example, for a home valued at $250,000, a landlord could charge between $2,000 and $2,750 each month

So the advice for minimum rent on a $250k house in the US is $2000, minimum.

7 * 12 * 2000 = 168,000.

So the question is, do you want to spend a minimum of $168,000 on rent. Maybe up to $231,000. That's what you will lose on rent. There's no "break even", you don't benefit from house price rises. That's dead money you're never going to see it again.

Or do you want to spend $134k on home ownership? And have $35k in equity (which you conveniently left out of your calculation). Probably much more equity than that because of inflation and house price rises, unless you bought when houses were at a peak.

What you've got wrong is that the "cost" of buying vs renting is actually the one-off fees you pay each time you buy a house. The lawyers fees, the mortgage arrangement fees, the legal searches, etc. The cost of selling your home (the estate agent fee, realtor in America I guess). In the UK we have a tax too, stamp duty, when you by a home.

And if you move in 2 years you have to pay all that again.

That's why it sometimes make sense to rent vs buying.

But long-term, buying is always better, because landlords have to make money and have the same costs as a home owner. It's basic economics.

And over 7 years? No contest. Buy.
> I'm starting to think that replacing a bachelor requirement for most dev jobs with an associate degree followed by an apprenticeship would be better and cheaper.

I was looking into applying to a job at a national lab. Not anything crazy, no HPC or scientific programming, just back office enterprise crap, but they seemed so intent on wanting a degree. I’m not sure places like that in particular that are primarily seen a “scientific” organizations will be willing to ignore credentialism.
I'm not sure if it is passkeys or other mechanism, but I can easily open my bank account on my Android phone just by using biometrics. Instead of typing a pin or password I just do the biometrics and voilá, it opens like magic. That really made me appreciate passwordless apps.

On the other hand, I don't really know how would that work on desktops, should chrome use a Windows service for that? Would it use its own servers? Apple would probably do it themselves. And how about Linux? Would a cross platform option ever exist? Maybe 1password?

I honestly think this move toward "less tracking" (3rd party cookie restrictions) is having the opposite intended effect.

It used to be you could just "clear your cookies" and you'd have a virtually clean identity on the internet. Now basically every ad platform, including Google Ads, is heavily encouraging the use of "first party data" - aka name, email addresses, phone numbers, mailing addresses - as a way to target customers. Google Ads help docs specifically cite the phasing out of cookies as the reason advertisers should send Google as much "first party data" as possible.

In effect, that means "clearing your cookies" will do nothing if you're the average Google users who's still logged into chrome/google after clearing your cookies.

And instead of Google + ad networks just having your data in cookies, now they have your name, email, mailing address, zip code, etc provided to them on the backend with no way for the consumer to easily opt out or delete their data.

Edit: adding another supporting example: for advertisers tracking conversions, it’s no longer good enough to just fire a conversion pixel on a checkout page. Now it’s heavily encouraged to send the user’s personal data (email, name, phone, etc) along with the conversion pixel/tag so Google (or whatever ad platform) can match the conversion to clicks without cookies at all. This type of conversion tracking was not pushed or encouraged until browsers started phasing out 3rd party cookies.

Edit 2: Google has even gone as far as adding a setting to their AdWords tracking tag that automatically scrapes the HTML of a page in search of anything that resembles a user’s email address or phone number to make it easier to collect first party data automatically.

Which would probably include the cost of the chips in some way, not just electricity.
It does seem the benchmark has its data in cache, based on the timings.

If the benchmark were only measuring L1 latency, what would that imply about the ‘scaling by inverse clock speed’ bit? My guess is as follows. Chips with higher clock rates will be penalised: (a) it is harder to decrease latencies (memory, pipeline length, etc) in absolute terms than run at a higher clock speed to maybe do non-memory things faster; and (b) if you’re waiting 5ns to read some data, that hurts you more after the scaling if your clock speed is higher. The fact that the M1 wins after the scaling despite the higher clock rate suggests to me that either they have a big advantage on memory latency or there’s some non-memory-latency advantage in scheduling or branch prediction that leads to more useful instructions being retired per cycle.

But maybe I’m interpreting it the wrong way.

There all doing the same shit just in vary levels of degree and focus. If anyone thinks different, they are only fooling themselves.

Apple is the most user-hostile company I have ever seen from a individual freedom centric standpoint, but they are good at hiding it. They think everyone outside of the organization should follow their line of thinking. Apple wants to be the gatekeeper of everything and that doesn't work in a free society. Deep down, I think people want to be free of external influence. Microsoft only cares about maximizing profits and doing whatever it takes to get there. I guess there is no difference between the two except that apple tries to justify there behavior behind a superiority complex.

You need to click on the link that is in the post: https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/one-step-clos...

> Instead, your phone will store a FIDO credential called a passkey which is used to unlock your online account. The passkey makes signing in far more secure, as it’s based on public key cryptography and is only shown to your online account when you unlock your phone.

It looks like a token stored on your phone that will be used instead of your password to authenticate.

Apple did something similar: https://developer.apple.com/passkeys/ that is automatically sync-ed in iCloud Keychain, so on every apple device you own, you can use it.

More information here: https://fidoalliance.org/passkeys/ and this explains finally how it works FIDO in general: https://fidoalliance.org/how-fido-works/

So yeah it's sort of a token, but technically, it's a private key that is used to sign the challenge at login time.

EDIT: from what I understand, while this prevents from "stealing passwords" etc., there is still the risk that someone steals your private key (copy/paste your phone or ... well, steals stuff from iCloud Keychain) and tries to use that to sign the challenge. Did I get it right? Or what mechanism is in place to prevent it? It looks like this time we use biometrics first (to unlock the screen) and passkey later?

If I knew the r-value, I wouldn't need to ask an LLM.

The sort of logic systems that were the focus of a lot of AI work before "deep learning" came along would certainly have "taken the r-value of adobe" into account (had they been exposed to such knowledge). That's because they explicitly reason about things in the world that they are trained to reason about.

Gary Marcus has been quite usefully vocal about this. We used to try to build AI systems (some still are) based on the idea that you need a world model, and you need logic and inference and relationships.

LLMs have convinced, it seems, rather a lot of people that we can just discard all that - "the system will learn the patterns all by itself".

Marcus doesn't agree, and neither do I (not that my opinion is worth much).
Will a Framework laptop give me hardware decoded video in Chrome out of the box on Ubuntu Jammy?

While I think I should be able to smoothly run video on any modern laptop with any modern browser, Linux is Linux and I paid nothing for it so I can’t be picky. But I’m this close to buying a Framework just so I can have this capability.
Can’t reply anymore because of nesting:

No, it’s not sarcasm, just install the listed dependencies and you are good to go.

For forms and validation you can use the mentioned react-hooks-forms. MUCH easier compared to reactive forms.

I never understood the benefit of angular dependency injection, because of its very limited singleton only approach.

React-i18next is just so much better than all the i18n solutions for angular. If you want to be able to switch the language on the fly, you anyway need something like transloco for angular.

Pipes are just functions for templates, no need with jsx. And directives can be replaced with composition. Much easier and powerful.

Angular material is really dated, look&feel is from 10 years ago, check out the current material guide, and compare it to angular material. And it’s just way too hard to customize it, and it doesn’t come with a lot of features. And technically it’s not a part of angular. There are a few good commercial angular UI libraries though.
