It's true, I can't help but imagine what we could do if we just down-clocked CPU in at the same maximum speed as the bus&RAM and went stupid-wide instead of stupid-complicated. Forget about smartly filling our L1 caches, super clever branch prediction, NUMA, very wide register sets, etc. and just go "embarassingly parallel" as you say, and with the right programming paradigm perhaps the tradeoffs would work out in either $$ or MIPS.

Though of course I know it's been done and either failed technically, or failed in the market, several times. E.g. fairly recently the Parallela Epiphany stuff (https://parallella.org/2016/10/05/epiphany-v-a-1024-core-64-...) which sounded super-gee-whiz-bang-neat but went nowhere.

But maybe the application domains and compilers just weren't there for it yet.

I like what e.g. Parallax has done with their Propeller 2, in the microcontroller domain. 8 cores round-robining on a shared memory, but with their own smaller localized workspace RAM, and a pile of I/O. No need for interrupts to manage concurrency, just assign a core to it. https://www.parallax.com/propeller-2/
I've been using Yuzu with a couple of patches (that I think have now been merged) with Vulkan, which can be touchy with hardware, but runs fine on my machine other than minor visual glitches. The game runs nearly flawlessly and with apparently great compatibility with Ryujinx, but is dramatically slower (~20-25 fps compared to 50-60 fps with Yuzu).
call a spade a spade: this is a last-ditch effort coming about six months too late.

In the seven months since Musk bought the company he singlehandedly fired nearly every employee, accidentally locked the remainder out of the headquarters, turned blue-check validation into a living nightmare for international brands, un-banned some of the most notorious and repugnant users from white nationalists to bigots and racists, mis-branded news outlets as state-sponsored, threatened to open a news agency to impersonation on his platform, cancelled most of the API, and tried to extort the very brands his platform depended on in a cash-for-validation scheme that backfired spectacularly.

This is 44bn of musks backing investors finally waking up to the fact that the willy-wonka they trusted to shepherd a communications platform was in fact just a billionaire heir to an emerald mine on track to grift them out of their dosh for his own petty feud with 'the libs.' Frankly its astounding theyre permitting musk to continue to do anything at all, albeit i suspect his new r&d role is about as authentic as his college credentials.
To make money she has to sell ads, to sell ads she needs to make the platform palatable for advertisers, which means going back to pre-Elon content moderation, which he clearly doesn't want to do. Her title might as well be VP of Sales given the power dynamic he's communicating.
I'm not a regular twitter user, but do people really get decent information from this platform? The comments to this tweet are a cesspool of anger and conspiracy theories.
And he only went to MIT as an undergraduate because his first choice Columbia had a "Jew quota" and they had already admitted all the Jews they wanted to for that year. Besides the antisemitism, it's also a reminder that in the 1930s MIT was seen as a good, but not particularly elite school and would be somebody's backup school.
Twitter's answer to this is to use an algorithm to prioritize the content the user is mostly likely to want to see. Certainly, I never read every unread tweet in my feed.

Ironically that same algorithmic approach has been subject to complaint from all sides, with "shadow ban" accusations thrown around, including by Musk himself. So it's now less effective than it used to be, in the name of "equality".

I think for most Elon lovers here, claiming people don't like him because he's "not being sufficiently left-wing" is a way to distract from the fact that his stewardship of Twitter has thus far been an embarrassing disaster of unforced errors.
The addressing modes do exist on 68020+ (https://www.nxp.com/files-static/archives/doc/ref_manual/M68... section 2.2), but I don't think any compiler will generate them (even with -mcpu=68020) as I think they're not actually faster than doing it the normal way (even if that costs a register), maybe slower, but I'd have to check the cycle counts.

EDIT: Yeah, so if I'm not misreading MC68020UM the memory indirect mode is slower

move.l #3,([6,a0,d0.l*8],4) ; 9 cycles best case

I promise you I have never thought that HN was "sophisticated". This is an internet forum.

> I'll keep matching the energy I see here

The problem here is in the "I see". People don't see their own negative contributions clearly. We vastly over-weight the bad that others are bringing and vastly under-weight our own. This is why it always feels like the other started it and did worse [1], while we are merely reacting, defending ourselves, or (to use your word) matching. We all have this bias, which means that if all you do is match what you see, you'll in fact be escalating and worsening a downward spiral [2].

What you (I don't mean you personally, but all of us) should instead do is consciously adjust for objects in the mirror being closer than they appear [3]. That is, if you make a point of responding with less negativity than what you see others as bringing, it may be possible to partly compensate for that bias. In that case this crude and unsophisticated blob of internet humanity may at least manage not to burn itself to a crisp [4].

Such links are helpful for clarifying and also for depersonalizing; they quickly make it clear that all of these issues are systemic and have been the same for years.)
I agree - but you should also add some dynamic tags - <company>, <industry> and <country> - for example are very useful.

Yeah, no. https://static.kinguin.net/cdn-cgi/image/f=auto/media/catego... is what a two decade old game looks like.
Eh, there's some truth to that.

However, my blog was not part of the appeal material sent to the FAA, and they also told me the reason they rejected me, which had to do with long-standing unofficial policies that required me to jump through more hoops.

I've been following RAD for a long time and I love Charles Bloom's blog. They are proprietary but he also makes a lot of code public. For instance, he showed how RAD switched from arithmetic coders to Assymetrical Number Systems and added code.
It's worth mentioning one of my favorite language facts of all time: the word dram (small unit still used for a portion of whisky in Scotland), drachma (the pre-euro Greek currency), and dirham (the currency of Morocco) are all cognates.

Now that’s fascinating. Thank you. Both that Columbia was as regarded as MIT and that MIT hadn’t achieved its current fame.

It’s odd to realize that I’ve always thought of MIT as MIT, yet (obviously, now) it wasn’t always that way. I wonder what the tipping point was.

Yeah, I probably should have included a disclaimer that not everything works as well as it does on Linux. I mostly use the notification mirroring and file transfers, and those have both worked fine for me.
I agree. People are saying no one wants the blue check mark anymore because it is no longer “cool”. I say give it time. It will become cool again once people realize all the features they can get for only $8.
What was your monthly "burn rate"?
All the bus/memory timings are the same with this guy's hack. So it's not a big surprise that 10 print "hello world!" :print "!" : goto 10 doesn't have any perceived performance difference. Maybe if you made a purely arithmetic benchmark in assembly that could be done all within a few registers, like Fibonacci, you might see some difference.
Didn’t they blow up that huge rocket 2 weeks ago? Seems like there is some leeway in the definition of “successful mission” here xd
This is interesting. The direct integration got slower as concurrency increased. The author didn't list the dynamo db table settings, but this could be caused by insufficient read capacity. Instead of failing immediately, I believe the default DynamoDB client implementation is to back off and retry the read. This reduces errors at the expense of latency.
Count me in as a SWE who would be interested in flexible engagements.

I like to push hard for a few months, and then change with the seasons. I think this is very realistic with most software engineering work. Project based, develop a rapport over time. Request hours with me for the next month and we can get shit done together.

I'd honestly like to be a part of a SWE coop, where we as engineers pool our resources and develop shared assets that we can use for clients. Working almost like a law firm does.

Mathematics: Proof in the Time of Machines
Ugh. This brings back a memory.

On my solo long cc flight, I got lost during the second leg and actually worried about the extra fuel that I burned searching for landmarks. Once I figured out where I was and landed, I went to top off the tanks just in case (in reality I should have had plenty of fuel to get home but I was paranoid).

That's when I found out that my credit card, the only payment I had with me, had expired a week before...

It certainly speaks to a level of professional conflict. If you have children with an employee it could very easily affect the way you treat that person in the workplace. It can easily undermine them in the eyes of co-workers.

She may well be perfectly happy with that but the OP was specifically holding her up as an example of Elon's track record with women in the workplace.

The “ml” tag on lobste.rs is about SML and OCaml, not machine learning (which is under “ai”), while here it seems to be about both. I find the original lobste.rs classification more useful.
Any good source on talking about generate steady passive cash flow? I feel that many engineers are asset rich, but cash flow constraints. If such engineer quits their job, they would not be able to sustain their life style, especially when they have more than one kid, even if they are willing to change to a more moderate life style. Of course they could sell their assets to generate cash, but I assume that's not necessarily wise or sustainable.
I'm not surprised, if you don't follow Elon closely and only read the nonstop clickbait headlines, you will be severely misinformed. Elon has been talking about the "everything app" forever. Elon has had the idea going back to the X.com days, that's what he wanted to do with Paypal.

Another thing you may not know: Twitter will soon be competing with Youtube.

> Yes, because people think that LLMs are almost AGI....

Surprise, surprise... this has happened before:

> Lay responses to ELIZA were disturbing to Weizenbaum and motivated him to write his book Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation, in which he explains the limits of computers, as he wants to make clear his opinion that the anthropomorphic views of computers are just a reduction of the human being and any life form for that matter.[29] In the independent documentary film Plug & Pray (2010) Weizenbaum said that only people who misunderstood ELIZA called it a sensation.[30]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA#Response_and_legacy

And, it's easy to see why. You can talk the damn thing, and it talks back! People love to anthropomorphize things, anyway, but if you can talk to it and it talks back, people think there's got to be something to it.

This time, though, is a little different. GPT-3 and GPT-4 actually do behave like they understand natural language to a great extent. That makes them directly analogous to Searle's Chinese room construct, and suggests that they could actually pass the Turing test (if suitably fine-tuned).

This is great, because, as you say, it's amazing. But I also think it's not good enough, because the fact that GPT-4 may be able to pass the Turing test really says more to me about the limitations of the Turing test than anything else. Likewise with the Chinese room analogy: we know what's in the box, and we know it shouldn't be trusted.

But, you're not going to get that kind of analysis from the general public.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test
That gets solved through pricing.
a couple observations in favor of AGI getting here quicker than we anticipate:

ChatGPT isn't an LLM it's a product(blackbox) with one part being an LLM.

Go, Chess, Dota 2 would be better examples of things that AI mastered.

"NVIDIA GPU computing has given the industry a path forward -- and will provide a 1,000X speed-up by 2025"

LLM agents do seem to work better than LLMs on their own.
Some more background here:

https://www.vox.com/technology/2023/4/18/23687125/elon-musk-...

It makes sense in terms of how I can imagine Elon's vision. It doesn't (to me) make sense as any kind of realistic proposition.
Right-wing Twitter worried Musk’s CEO pick could return Twitter to its roots
The one who follows Catturd, LibsofTikTok, Ron DeSantis, Tulsi Gabbard, and Bari Weiss? Yeah, I think she will.

I am not normally a fan of the term "virtue signaling" but I think her involvement with WEF might just fit.
> "I decided to test GPT-4 as follows: I’d take a personality test. Then, I’d give GPT-4 some information about me and ask it to take the same personality test—but pretend to be me. I’d tell it to attempt to predict the ways I’d answer the questions based on what it knows. Then I’d measure the difference between what GPT-4 predicted my responses would be and my actual responses to see how accurate it was. I’d also ask my girlfriend, Julia, who is unusually perceptive about people and knows me quite well, to do the same task. Then I’d compare GPT-4’s accuracy against hers."

I wonder if he gave his girlfriend the information that he "give GPT-4 some information about me". Maybe if the girlfriend saw what he was emphasizing in that information, she could have better guessed what he would have put on the test. Another possibility is that he asked his girlfriend what she thought he would actually do in those situations, whereas he asked the bot to guess what it thought he would put as answers to hypothetical questions (which wouldn't necessarily match what he would actually do in those situations).
My kid got her android phone stolen from a gym. Put up a message on the phone saying "this phone is being tracked, reward, call XXX-XXX-XXXX."

As an Atari ST user, I was a big fan of the 68k back in the 80s but even I'd have to admit that the 808x architecture made the most sense for IBM to take given that it offered continuity with the CP/M S100-bus 8080/z80 machines that were fairly dominant in the nascent "business computing" market at that point.

Forking CP/M (cuz let's admit that's basically what PC-DOS was) and offering something similar-but-different to those systems was low-risk. And their original intent in fact was to in fact sell a full-on CP/M machine.

FWIW the Atari ST is what you get when you take a CP/M/PC-DOS-style OS and bolt it onto the 68k. Syscalls were basically 1:1 with MS-DOS, and even used an MS-DOS compatible filesystem. But big-endian. If you want to see what an IBM PC built around the 68k would have looked like, that's not far off.
> Also interesting that the performance is no better, presumably due to the lack of cache.

Here an (emulated) MC68000 is pressed into serving an 8bit bus.

The 68k (using its native 16bit bus) is faster (even if not by much) than a 8086.
It is indeed resentment. It is also hilarious to see this sentiment in the comment sections in HN, Mastodon, Reddit, etc.

In reality, almost no-one cares and the 220M+ users continue to use the platform.

All the eternal Twitter doomsters are still praying for the downfall that never happened, which is why they are very emotional and angry at Elon Musk and the fact that Twitter did not collapse as they expected either.

Congrats on the launch! We built something similar a few months ago but couldn't get the quality of the SQL generation to be that good without providing a ton of few-shot examples, especially with databases that contained more bespoke data. If you have enough few-shot examples the quality might be quite good!
> He's what we used to label as classical liberal, middle.

Who is that "we"? That label is long gone for Elon.

His Twitter "social media" service is now toxic waste and I doubt this will change.

Building Customer-Facing Real-Time Dashboards with Postgres
I know, right? Just think about what could have been if IBM had selected the 68K. An assembly language that was actually pretty pleasant to program in. Motorola would probably be the Intel of now. Intel would maybe still be making memory (so kind of like Micron and probably similar in size).
