Computers are the malignant exception. Up to 1975, the enormous value created by the agricultural and industrial revolutions, electrification era, transport and communications revolutions, etc were broadly shared by ordinary citizens and the owners of capital.

Standards of living skyrocketed. It paid for things in the US like the TVA, social security, and the national highway system.

Since the computer revolution in 1975, capital captured all of the value creation. Wages are flat. Standard of living declining. Inequality at its worst since the gilded age.

The staggering wealth created by the computer revolution could have easily paid for universal healthcare and lowered the SS retirement age in the US, while leaving mountains of value intact for capitalists.

Now we’re going to do the same thing with AI?

This 50 year experiment in market fundamentalism has been bad for society and needs to come to an end.

As pitiful as the Turing institutes contributions are from this article, the fact it doesn't mention that throws the entire article into question.
I’ll admit that I didn’t see it until you pointed it out. I scrolled down a little bit, saw the citation info and author affiliation, and assumed there wasn’t anything else.
I’m neither here nor there on passkeys, but I think in this scenario if you stored your passkeys in 1Password at least - then when biometrics fail, it would require your 1…password.

Although I don’t know how the passkey support in 1Password will work, so I may be wrong on that.
> "Apple's ultimate plan is to introduce the technologies on its iPhone, which is its key revenue source and has much bigger volume, to justify the investments over the years," said one of the sources who has seen samples of the company's microLED screen.

One thing I really appreciate when it comes to Apple is that despite all their shortcomings they don't "sleep on the job". Over the years they never hesitated to cannibalize their own product lines (iPod), or go through several tough technological transitions (68K/PPC/x86/ARM) if it meant building a better product. And bigger profits of course.

For example I'm sure Google would just rather stuff your phone to the gills with ads in order to drive revenue than actually bother with a coherent investment in a long term strategy to make a better product. And bigger profits of course.
It's just another form of art, or perhaps engineering as a sport.

I was tooling around with VR development when I tried developing directly from within the headset. Shockingly, the Quest 2 was streets ahead of the Index when it came to usability. It wasn't bad; it just wasn't something I would want to replace my current setup.

I'm sure once the headsets hit a certain resolution, this will become much more common.
AMAZING!!!!

You've absolutely made my day! Going to have to try this out later, maybe try out some Blast Corps!
This is exactly the kind of concept I personally expect from Apple if the AR rumors materialize at the upcoming WWDC... maybe with a less clunky design.

Now that I think about it, the existing Mission Control/Full screen App interface could make total sense for this UI. You could quite easily translate theses concepts to an AR deck bridging the gap between all existing Apps and this new interface.
> People preferred the Playstation 2 over the Gamecube because it had more and better games

PS2 was barely more expensive than a decent DVD player, at the time, and came out before most folks had a DVD player. And it played DVDs. Gamecube didn't. This made the Gamecube a second console for most people... which meant they didn't get it at all, if they only had one console. PS2 also played PS1 games, which meant some gamers had a large library that could be played on it on day 1. GC didn't play N64 games.

Nothing else is really needed to explain the GC's weak sales relative to the PS2.
Why? If something is named after someone, if someone popularized something, why do we need to make is some larger deeper anything? It's funny that this comes in an article about the Islamic Golden age period where people's identity just gets erase to fit some narrative. Where Christian Greeks keeping Greek history become Arab Muslim's keeping the West's knowledge for the ignorant Christian West. Why is it misconception about the origination of the sandwich that is being discussed, not erasure of entire populations of subjugated people who get attributed as being their conquers creation and their accomplishments attributed to some 'Islamic Golden Age'. Maybe the Islamic Golden Age is in greater need of being deconstructed. Maybe Europeans and Middle-easterners would see each other as 'others' so much if history didn't so artificially try to create otherizing constructs.

They give examples of people needing space to make furniture, or fixing motorcycles in their storage units. Things which you can't feasibly pull off in a studio apartment. That makes sense, and I'm glad there is a solution for activities like that.

I think most people just use storage facilities to store junk they don't want to throw away, which is a different thing, and often unrelated to the size of your home.

Some people just expand to fill all available space. Most of my neighbors park their cars on the street, despite having two-car garages, and 2000 square foot houses. Their garages are full of boxes, to the point where you can see them leaning up against the frosted glass windows. My grandparents bought the house next door to the one they'd already filled with junk, and filled that one with junk too. I don't think it's necessarily the cost of rent or the size of apartments that proliferates self-storage facilities, I think acquiring junk and being afraid to get rid of it is a different (perhaps especially modern) problem that would exist regardless.

> Am I crazy for thinking we have few reasons to trust these "elites" or even believe what they say?

Not at all. We have an extensive history showing that they can't be trusted or believed without evidence. But, in my opinion, the right response isn't to disbelieve everything they say, either. It's to note they said it (because what they say does give clues as to what they're planning to do) but not to allow their statements alone to carry much weight in terms of determining truth.

Having to completely change the naming scheme you use for human-authored and human-read artifacts entirely to route around shitting, confusing escaping in a programming language is not a convincing selling point for that language.

tl;dr New materials can help, but "resistive losses" aren't really the driving factor.

The energy is a mix of leakage current and active current. Leakage current can be thought of as resistance - it's how much current flows through a transistor that's off. This can be better based on the material, but gets harder with smaller transistors. (Thinking about quantum tunneling as a resistance is good to get intuition, but not good enough to help solve the problem. A material with a lower bulk resistivity will not help here.)

Active current is based on capacitance. Each FET has a little capacitor that needs to be charged and discharged every time the logic is switched - that adds up. Lowering the capacitance of each FET would reduce the energy required to switch it, but generally comes with bad tradeoffs. High-k dielectrics increase the capacitance, all other things being equal. But all other things are not equal, and they are used to create better performing FETs with lower power leakage.
I mean, I agree it's a pretty awful way of reaching the truth or mass consensus, but in terms of gauging how much interest a certain subject has in absolute terms, I think it's a good gauge.

What I'm trying to get at is that the original commenter is implying that people rarely question the value of economic growth, but if you google search the term "economic growth" generically, with no prompt on questioning its value, on a popular forum site, you'll see that one of the top questions is questioning its value.
> anyone who wants Tiktok will just go download it in Wyoming or Idaho

Isn't it easier and cheaper to use a vpn?
Hmm, this is a bit of an exaggeration. The Gamecube was considerably more powerful than the PS2, (and Microsoft took a huge dive on the original XBOX hardware in order to compete - although it was indeed more capable than the GC).

The Wii was the first time Nintendo explicitly entered the market with hardware knowingly less powerful than their competition, and that was... 2006? So like 17 years, not 30.

You could make a case that their handheld hardware was always "underpowered" compared to the competition, like the Game Gear and PSP, but the justification at those times was better battery life and pocket-ability. The market results seem to speak for themselves, though

A lot of western pundits (and major studio executives) have been expecting Nintendo to "go third party" like Sega ever since the Gamecube, and yet they're still around. They seem to know what they're doing.

> No manager is paid to care about an employee's career that I have ever seen or heard of.

This is an incredibly common part of the role(s), so my guess is that you have been unlucky in this.

For what it's worth, all the strong managers I've ever know or worked with pay attention this this, and vast majority of companies (again in my experience) made it an explicit part of their role.

I'd go so far as to say as a people manager (as opposed to a project manager, say) you cannot do a great job without considering things like career progression, because if you don't, you don't understand your team well enough to be really effective.

And what alternative to LLMs does the Turing institute have?

> I’m not saying that their approach is this, just that failure to produce a LLM doesn’t necessarily equal an embarrassing failure.

That's not really a rebuttal against the article though. They specifically state that they aren't blaming the institute for not producing and LLM nor even for not predicting them.
That’s fair practically, but in the eternal battle between conventional HPC languages and C, we can’t give C an unmitigated win. :)

I tried Verizon 5G for several months. It could be very fast (600Mbps down, maybe 100Mbps up) but it wasn't very reliable. We had some days where it just didn't work (maybe two days out of six months.)

It's $50/mo (IIRC) if you have mobile phone service with them. For me, the worst part was that they want you to mount their 5G device on your window, and I'm in the city and have only a few windows. It's not an ugly device really, but I don't want to glue a big device to my living room window.

If I can modify that slightly: The staff engineer isn't accountable for people that have a rough patch or who are assholes (and the manager is). I've found as a staff engineer that I definitely have to care, adapt to the rough patch, and campaign/do politics to get the assholes out, but I'm not accountable for it.

(I originally wrote this with "responsible" in place of "accountable" but that was fuzzier; surely as a staff engineer I'm responsible for more than my direct contributions even if I'm not directly accountable for them.)

The article mentions that they'll be discussing a common regulatory approach to AI. I can't recall ever having seen nations act in concert so quickly to regulate a new technology, if they do actually agree on a regulatory framework at this kind of meeting.

I feel like flagging this just given the asshattery of CNBC's framing of the title "Sam Altman attends secretive annual meeting with the world’s elite."

Fucking spare me with this conspiracy theory bullshit. Yes, it's fully fine to question the details of what goes on in meetings like this, and how they influence public policy. But it's sad that someone who ostensibly considers herself a "journalist" would push it like this. And I really push back against the characterization that "The annual Bilderberg event is shrouded in mystery". It's not really that mysterious, it's individuals having a private meeting.

> It seems that on here, the nucleus of hackers has remained more or less constant since 2010, while all other demographics flooded in.

I think this also describes those working on software in general. Everyone uses the same interesting-to-hackers low level parts of the stack. But the nature of software is that _use_ scales infinitely, so roughly the same small quantity of developers are needed the same as was needed in the 90s.

But technology use has exploded, so there's huge demand for developers working higher up in the stack, because the need for domain specific apps has exploded and that part doesn't scale. So the 90s hackers continue but are now dwarfed by app developers and web developers are many orders of magnitude more numerous.

Unfortunately because software is a commodity the use of the low level parts of the stack doesn't translate to money for the hackers working on them. Because just as it's a niche interest for developers in that area, so it's a niche business case to make money out of working in that area.
> It'd be very difficult for Montana to enforce the other piece of the TikTok ban

I don't know if it is technically and legally feasible in Montana, but you "just" need to block the endpoints that the app uses to fetch the data. It is not foolproof, but given that ByteDance probably has interest in keeping doing business in the rest of the USA, at least for now, it would be fineable in case it was trying to avoid the block.
I agree that 5% efficiency justifies widespread adoption, but that didn’t require much more than a few hours of maintenance to set wingtips up.

I’m not sure that 10% would justify switching to a new engine, a new airplane type, and investing in re-qualifying all your pilots. I remember hearing hesitation around RISE and braced wings. Those would “only” save 20% fuel but required too many changes to be adopted before planes needed to be replaced.

On the other hand, working with a different fuel but with a similar power package, that could presumably be adopted before 2030, if the savings are indeed almost an order of magnitude of carbon footprint. This is why I think the article should have said a lot more about the supply chain and price of SAF.

I think number 2 is a really good point. But I think the biggest reason why they could be immensely successful there is, Apple dog foods their own stuff. Apple will generate enough apps for it to be useful. This is where I feel like Oculus/Facebook(Meta)+Oculus kind of messed up where the Google really messed up with Daydream. The expectation for most of the product life cycles was for developers to just jump on board and start developing, turning out the apps. I love DayDream, but there were hardly any decent apps. Google relied too much on indie devs and 3rd party. Most of the daydream apps by google were essentially just demos. Apple will provide at least enough apps to make it useful while also using that knowledge to feed back in to the development cycle.

For example, simple "change" or even welcoming progressive ideas is perceived by other groups to be advocating for a new world order.

I've been in-and-out of every one of these stacks professionally for years. I was a professional graphic and interface designer for a decade, which involved photography, photo editing, motion graphics and other 2d animation, and digital illustration. I've done a bit of freelancing, specfically with branding, identity and print design, but it's mostly been full-time, in-house work. More recently, I have moved into 3D modeling, 3D animation, and game engine work. I've worked with the current generative tools in professional settings and did procedural art and design work long before the current fad. I've seen their progression, and know better than damn near anyone you'll meet where they stand in the commercial art world.

You're basing unsubstantiated predictions on top of assumptions to form dubious suppositions about the future of these things to change the topic from your patently absurd assertion that the largest player in most creative industries became "irrelevant," "years ago." You're clearly going to continue pretending personal preferences, based on an incredibly narrow slice experience in this huge collection of creative industries, is generalizable to the rest of it. I'd say there's about zero percent chance you're going to start engaging in this conversation in good faith, so I'll let you finish it by yourself: you don't need my help to try and convince yourself that you know what you're talking about.
