Sure, there might have been new stuff in there that I have never heard about, but extrapolating from how he speaks about the stuff I know about I also take the exact phrasing and the sometimes implied causality with a grain of salt.
Socialism still relies on capitalism to function.
Yes, a uniform distribution in the space of probabilities between (0,1) would give you something bell-curve shaped in the log-odds scale.

The log-odds scale also makes it clear why probabilities 0 and 1 are very special: they only show up as limits in the log-odds scale.
Nope. All you need to know is that there are billions of people whose lives have been slightly impacted by even the internet.
Javascript already brought all 3 letter agencies to climax long time ago.

Javascript based fingerprinting is capable of uniquely identifying every single one of us and the reason it's not everywhere because it's too slow for commercial web. I haven't looked into webGPU yet but it seems like this could greatly speed up the fingerprinting process.
> handing a friend a ~cassette tape~

Never was a crime, but it's explicitly permitted by the AHRA (which also enacted a tape tax.)

Unfortunately you may be out of luck on the thumb drive - you'd probably need to use DAT or "music" CD-R media, which include the Digital Audio Technology [DART] tax/royalty. (See also Apple's 2001-era Rip,Mix,Burn vs. 2023's Rent,Mix,Stream.)

This is of course a bummer for DJs who would like to stream or distribute their sets and mixes.

I’m inclined to let his accusation of “narcissism”
rise to the surface here. Clearly projecting.
I'm not sure whether prioritizing profit above all else is necessarily part of capitalism. I can imagine a world where businesses have a different top priority. A business can still survive without cancer-like growth that reaches global levels with tens of thousands of employees and lobby groups. Of course, that world would require every business to agree and not pursue profit, otherwise the ones that do will out-compete the rest. It seems like a much deeper problem than capitalism, and one that is being mitigated the most by capitalism if we compare it to the previous economic systems.
You appear to be calculating something like Wins Above Replacement by saying the only thing that changed between these releases is the director being replaced. But you don't know that for sure. For example, Kojima would have known the most impactful, most critical staff at Konami. When he started his own thing he might have encouraged them to move. If this had happened Konami would have had to complete the new game with a gutted team, which would explain the poor quality.

Of course you can say "well if this is true it only shows that Kojima can attract the best talent to work for him" and sure, that's probably true. But then we can't claim it's all completely Kojima doing the work.

> "When the older generations were her age a few decades ago..."

Yeah, a few decades ago in the economic boom the United States undeservedly enjoyed after the rest of the world powers were devastated by WW2 and tens of millions of human beings lay dead. The older generations outside the US jolly well were not "getting cheap educations, building big houses, buying summer cabins, investment apartments, multiple new cars, having multiple kids", etc.; they had to trudge a long, hard road to rebuild their homes and livelihoods and recover from the scars of war.

This idea that the current generation has some sort of inalienable right to do as well as previous generations is bizarre. Even a moment of thought would tell you that no such thing exists.

> Suddenly, borrowing money in order to fork it over to shareholders makes less sense in a world of higher interest rates

What a lot of people probably dont realise when they read the term "business" is how big a fraction of management attention, incentives and remuneration is pure financial engineering: a parasitic game between financiers, accountants, tax code, central banks and company treasuries that has nothing to do with the mission of the company.

A modern corporation is a gigantic financial spreadsheet with its real assets a mere footnote.

In its most benign form debt is an accelerator for a healthy business that is growing. It is possible to get a debt hangover when misestimating actual business prospects and that is a serious enough challenge of its own.

The virtual reality of Wall Street and the obese financial system only serves to inflate the volatility. That is by design because volatility is precisely what it is milking.
Another example: look at the solution for a cubic equation written in words and compare it with the same solution expressed in algebraic notation e.g., for Tartaglia’s Quando chel cubo.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17513472.2014.933552

Algebraic notation is not just more concise/precise. It enables solving harder problems that otherwise wouldn't be even attempted.

> One distinction is that traditional engineering jobs are usually advertised as requiring a Bachelors of Engineering degree from an accredited institution. In the software development world I don't think there is such a hard requirement on the types of qualifications the applicant needs.

Even software engineers / software developers who have accredited engineering degrees are subjected to the same excessive interview process as those that received their training at a boot camp or are self taught.
There's a great podcast episode on the Gastropod that discusses this issue:
Mango Mania: How the American Mango Lost its Flavor—and How it Might Just Get it Back (2018) https://gastropod.com/mango-mania-how-the-american-mango-los...

Earlier today it finally occurred to me try using ChatGPT to build a DSL. This is basically what it was like, from conception to EBNF. We even discussed how far to take DRY, and it took care of coming up with names for symbols. And it introduced me to the term "semantic validation", confirming my understanding of it as "things you can do in the grammar but should probably be moved to a separate step that operates on the AST."

Of course, that's flagged in my head as possibly hallucinated. But it doesn't change that from now on that's a obviously useful question I know to ask myself when I'm playing with languages: "does this really need to be in the grammar, or can it be validation instead?"
This is potentially huge - at least for me personally, there is nothing more likely to get me to buy a game, than letting me sit down and try playing it for free. I’ll even try random demos of games I don’t even think look good, because why not? Trailers are lies. Watching other people play is alright but frustrating. Getting to play yourself? There’s simply no substitute.
Anyone had problems with payment Disney+ with revolut virtual one-time card?
I'm trying to keep my subscriptions tight, hence using the virtual one-time card, so I don't wake up with no money on my account. Recently my ?account? got blocked in terms that I cannot make a payment (after 3 successful Revolut authorizations) with any other card neither. Is anyone aware of Disney+ blocking revolut cards?

Current old people are the audience I guess. When they die off, the new generation of old people might not be so into it.
That's not exactly how I understand it - my understanding is that they are generally very good in terms of COP but the trade-off is that they operate at much higher pressures than other refrigerants (including the ones we're phasing out), so material properties, servicing, etc. are more challenging.

(of course, it's more complicated than that because COP changes depends on input and output temperature, both in absolute and relative terms, and different refrigerants can be better for colder inputs or hotter outputs etc., but I am talking in general).
I would even argue that knowing just how well the accepted candidates did is also extremely difficult. Some assesment might be possible based on some simple metrics, but the ultimate 'how much value does this person add' is a hard one. I wouldn't always trust performance reviews and the like for someone's added value, since that adds another point for added bias.
Oh, yeah, the term metaverse comes from Snow Crash. I was just recalling this incident: https://www.businessinsider.com/oculus-gives-all-its-employe... and Zuck referring to RPO in some interview: "I appreciate the RPO reference" here, https://www.theverge.com/22588022/mark-zuckerberg-facebook-c...

This tells me the extent of your knowledge about the challenges with these models.
It would be interesting to see where things are at in a few years. I get the problem. But not sure the right decision was made. I've seen the "leave esoteric/boutique/niche language for more commodity platforms" play out a number of times over the years. The results are very mixed, and hard to infer because of the many variables. But I don't usually see the "we're so much better now" after the original zeal for the exodus pans out. Usually it ends up being more of a "you had a problem so you did X. Now you have two problems" in my experience. I wish you and yours the best of luck.

We are just about to force future generations to (quite likely not) live through the unintended consequences of current and past generations ignorantly and recklessly engineering their environment out of a misguided desire “[grow] the economy, and [make] money along the way”, and in response the author seems to suggest we use more ignorance and recklessness to drive even more unintended consequences?

We don’t want to lose deserts and more than we wanted to lose forests and wetlands (and are now desperately trying to save them)… just because humans are too stupid to see the complex reasons why specific ecosystems exist doesn’t mean they should KEEP acting on that stupidity.

I can't do the same with any modern x86 systems and the one company trying (purisim) had to do some pretty serious reverse engineering of Intel's blobs to get there.

I see capitalism as the best solution so far to the greedy nature of humans. It doesn't solve for business owners constantly trying to squeeze the most out of workers like farmers and their livestock. There are definitely better solutions to be discovered, probably not communism because even though it sounds good, the greed nature of humans can exploit communism even more than capitalism. It's a tough problem.

Our government cannot function properly with this sort of extensive corruption in any of its three branches. Our intelligence establishment operates without effective oversight, and something must be done to wrestle power back to favor transparency. Separating CIA's information-gathering function from its dirty tricks functions is a step in the right direction.

$10 million hasn't been "medium" budget for Hollywood since the 1990s. In 1995, the average cost of a Hollywood film was approximately $34million. By 2003, that number had ballooned to $59 million. (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-03-08-fi-40252-...)

Today, the threshold for "medium budget" is somewhere around $30 million, with the threshold for "high budget" somewhere around $90-100 million.

Also, A24 is as Hollywood as you can get. Their offices are located in WeHo. All of their films are the kinds of films that Fox Searchlight and New Line Cinema specialized in.

(With respect to the films you mentioned, Puss in Boots and Halloween Ends both achieved profitability during their theatrical runs. D&DHAT did not make its budget back in theaters and is not expected to achieve profitability for several years if ever; it is very likely that it will not get a sequel, or if it does the sequel will have a much smaller budget.)

Similarly, I have so many terrible experiences at 'job fairs' for engineering students, where they only sent HR. Things like asking what stack they use, and getting answers in the form of 'Diverse an challenging technology is at the heart of our innovative agenda ...'. Even when I _know_ the insider details through friends, HR always does such an appalling job of selling it to you, even when they're actually good.
But that's because the star / planet boundary is fusion in the core, and thus Jupiter isn't a star. If Jupiter had fusion in its core, we could consider it a binary star system.

It is because 22H2 will make your windows 10 so slow (unlike any previous updates) that you ended up having to upgrade the hardware and then go to Windows 11. I knew this because it happened to me yesterday. Everybody knows 22H2 is the last update of Windows 10, from a marketing point it's not meant to make Windows 10 better but make you hate Windows 10. I had my doubt too but sadly I was right.

Ultimately it is always human that does it, unless you say machine has free will.

In this case there is a tool that can make human more efficient. But there are other tools as well, which I think are more interesting.

Imagine if human intelligence is like physical ability to move. AI tools are like personal mobility chairs. Over time the ability to move only atrophies. But other tools are like bicycles and skateboards. They help move faster while still requiring exercise.

Yes, sorry Mr. Dean, no job for you here. Even if he told me he wanted to work for me, I would just call an ambulance, for he must have some kind of stroke.

As I typed the initial rant I opened an incognito tab and searched "Andrej Karpathy LinkedIn", had the same curiosity as you, if the top stars use that "service". He has an account. I clicked the link, LinkedIn took me through a quick security check/Verification process through which I had to select which bull was standing in the "right position", then it opened Mr. Karpathy's LinkedIn page and I saw as his last activity/posted article that he hires for Tesla AI, which is weird because I knew he quit, I clicked the article to read more, and LinkedIn opened a modal to Log In. Closed the page, and promised myself I will never again bait myself to open LinkedIn (probably I will break the promise in a year or two, one must check LinkedIn to see the state of the tart† in what not to do in user experience).

† wanted to use "f-art" but ChatGPT recommended "t-art" as wordplay: 'This phrase combines the concept of a "tart," which can refer to a promiscuous or morally questionable person, with the original phrase. It adds a touch of humor while implying a negative connotation. However, please note that wordplay involving potentially derogatory terms or stereotypes should be used with caution and sensitivity.'
You don't need to buy Fold to get G2. Stop making false statements.
Sure but this begs the point of what happens if the underlying ISA model changes. For both the C and RPython generated emulators, they build from source so they can regenerate in minimal developer time. For the Spice or qemu based emulators, you need to do much more work. So the Sail based tools are targeting a different problem space than the Spice or qemu based ones.

There is a general parallel here with Python vs. compiled code. Many developers prefer the flexibility that Python gives them over the speed that compiled code gives. Once the problem space is well defined and static, or small enough to be well understood, it makes sense to spend the developer time to create a high-performant solution. But during the exploration phase, it is better to use a dynamic language that may be slower.

What about their CPU? And if they don't agree, how would their machines respond?

(This question is half joke half rhetorical. The point of it is to argue that there is no material difference between different parts of a modern computer/smartphone. The CPU and GPU are often the same chip and both are and were always part of showing you a web page. The fact that WebGPU uses a different API doesn't change anything)
At least crypto is unaffected by the AI nonsense and it is not going anywhere. For both crypto and AI, the genie is out of the bottle and they cannot be stopped. Not even this crypto project [0]. But of course, no-one cares until it is too late.

1. The current proposals for generics are bloated and don't fit properly with our vision for Go.

2. We will do heaps and heaps of work over many years until we get something we like.

3. Go has generics!

Also, AFAIK Go is not a single-pass compiler, at least not in the way I learned about compilers.

This review compares the Ally with the Deck - https://www.theverge.com/23719210/asus-rog-ally-review

Brief summary - more recent APU so if you're plugged in to power, the Ally can play games at higher settings. If you're not plugged in, reviewers found that the minimum power draw is high so your battery life is worse (both have the same battery capacity). The best case scenario for the Ally is 4 hours while it's closer to 7 for the Deck.

On the software side, the Deck benefits from a large community of folks creating control mappings for older games. Windows handicaps the Ally - it's just clunky to use in this form factor.
