Not sure if your experience is common inside the US, but in most of the world, most people, by far, don't live in the suburbs. And most cities in the world don't have an appreciable amount of homelessness/vagrancy/drug use/crime/harassment in the areas most businesses exist.

> The Xerox Smalltalk-80 GUI Was Weird

"Weird" means only that you haven't used other similar UIs. Smalltalk 80 was a development environment. There were applications written in it with more extensive UI examples.

> At first glance, this looks incredibly similar to something like the desktop of the Apple Lisa or early Mac OS.

Not at all. But the Smalltalk 80 UI was only one of several that were developed. It would be better to compare the Mac OS UI to the office system from Xerox. An early application domain for the Mac was "Desktop Publishing" (Apple LaserWriter, Adobe Postscript, Aldus Pagemaker).

> The first thing is that the Smalltalk environment wasn't really an operating system the same way something like Mac OS was. It’s more like an IDE that runs on bare hardware.

The Mac hadn't also much of an OS in the early days. It was like running c/pascal/assembler code on bare hardware with a loader and a system library.

> You can’t even move or resize a window by clicking and dragging.

The "Direct manipulation interface" was made popular by the Mac.

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

A good idea to compare those systems is to check how early applications looked and worked. On the Mac that would have been MacPaint and MacWrite. You'll find earlier such applications for the Xerox systems, too.

As I recall, from the Zen 4c articles, the big concessions are slower L1/L2, which allows fewer transistors per byte and so smaller area; lower clock targets, which allows less buffering to make the clock domains work and so smaller area. The L3 is about the same as a Zen 4 chiplet, which means half the size per core. They also dropped support for v-cache, which saves a little bit of area too.

Prior to Zen4c, server and desktop chiplets were the same, and desktop chips need to clock to the moon for competitive reasons, but server chips aren't going to go to really high clocks anyway; the thermals are too challenging, so if there's enough demand to justify a separate spin for servers, it makes a lot of sense to tweak the design for reasonable clock rates that will be seen there.
Back in the day before Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and Social Networks, there were groups that specialized in being "forum launch crews" that would help seed forums with a group of early, genuine users and posts, based on topics and categories to match the overall theme of the forum.

I don’t think GitHub has been harmed. GitHub did the right thing by having mechanisms to disable repositories before they can cause real harm. The author merely tested out where that to-be-expected limit would be.

Arguably, it would be better if GitHub documented an explicit number of supported commits, so that one can know beforehand which usage scenarios the service is suitable for.

Java is only slow to start the VM. If your process is long-lived it's exceedingly quick because you only pay the startup penalty once.

"GC pauses" are greatly exaggerated in terms of impact and frankly for the vast majority of uses cases GC simply doesn't become an issue.

The JVM is really really good because at one point or another they had basically every luminary in the field working on it.
On the flip side, I can throw a hungry junior dev with a new macbook into the deep end, and they can be productive within a day.

Indeed. The irony is that the trade off you’ve made means that you can throw a senior dev with 20 years of experience building things that run in browsers, and he wont be up and running in a day.

He’ll be fighting all the unnecessary layers of complexity to modify this ship-in-a-bottle with the fiddly tools provided, knowing that he could have built the entire ship in a few days if he could just touch the thing with his hands.

If the endangered cyclist, pedestrian and other folks in cars where your family members, you‘d think about your words again. Also, the cops have a life too and probably weren‘t sure what that maniac would do next.

It‘s obvious the killing was a bad reflex from a cop who felt endangered too. A bad reflex he surely regretted the second thereafter.

Also, if all you better human beings feel like you‘d act much wiser in such intense situations, maybe you should consider becoming a cop, and ideally in a crime-ridden area, instead of judging bygone situations from your safe space.
A couple of years ago, I was dabbling in the cloud at AWS, and I initially decided to run a MediaWiki server with its associated stack, such as MariaDB and Apache or something, on Debian. And I found a good Bitnami AMI to do it with.

But what I really wanted to do was to spin up Kubernetes and learn about microservices in some way. The techie guys I polled said I wouldn't need k8s at all for my use case and I should scrap trying to do k8s because it wouldn't do me any good. I'm still sort of miffed at that; I would've rather learned some Kubernetes in the first place rather than just become a petty sysadmin again, so a replacement project that actually did make use of k8s would've been helpful.

Anyway I chose to double down on my chosen career in the education industry, so I'm letting my sysadmin/DevOps skills lie fallow until retirement.

Similar story. Moved to Bay Area, coworker recommended dentist told me I need to pull all 3 wisdom teeth left and get a night guard. Quotes me >$3500.

Funny that I went to the dentist in my home country just before I moved and they said all good. Went to another dentist (which I'm still with and absolutely love) and over past 4 years we haven't pulled a single wisdom tooth and I still don't have a night guard.
The author seems to be caught up in a dream. There is substantial criticism on technological "solutions" and the author fails to address those.

Technology has been described as vicious circle previously as the problems it "solves" it (the technology) created in the first place, so it's not really going anywhere... and only grows (for its own sake?).

Distinguished authors like Ted Kaczynski wrote on this.
The main fallacy with this article is assuming that generative AI is just another tool that we use. But what happens when the tool becomes far more capable intellectually than the person wielding the tool? Why have that person around? What would they do that the AI can't do? We're not there yet of course and short term this dynamic plays out of tools enhancing productivity and lowering cost. But at some point it flips around to the point where an AI can now do anything that we do faster, better, and cheaper.

Of course that kind of thinking is also a bit of a fallacy because there is a third way of some people enhancing themselves with AI to level up their own capabilities. These hybrid/enhanced individuals would be able to complement each other and be able to interface with both the real world and the digital world far more efficiently. We'll be competing with our enhanced future selves. Maybe they'll ditch the wetware at some point but the near future is a hybrid of hardware and wetware.
I have had great success with the 'low-core / high-frequency' line-up in every step of the Zen+EPYC architectures.

They always have these (thanks to CCX and chiplets) SKUs and for latency-sensitive applications (or single-core non-parrallelized workloads), the high-frequency ones are amazing. You don't get the actual frequency/perf ratio, but they're relatively cheap (compared to the Intel SKUs with similar cores/freq) and damned reliable.

That’s not obvious at all. One would expect a professional service to have limits in place to prevent any negative impacts.
Makes me wonder what the insurance company is paying, how much you pay them and if its even worth it.

My dentist (in UK) charges £2500 for an implant. I don't have insurance.

(technically I do have insurance, since NHS dentistry exists which I pay for in my taxes. However I had an NHS dentist and when they got sold on to Bupa they would simply not do things which would be expensive for them, meaning after some years I had fillings falling out and broken teeth all over)

The article already mentions this objection:

The really fundamental objection to everything I’ve just said is to ask what would happen if we had a system that didn’t have an error rate, didn’t hallucinate, and really could do anything that people can do. If we had that, then you might not have one accountant using Excel to get the output of ten accountants: you might just have the machine. This time, it really would be be different. Where previous waves of automation meant one person could do more, now you don’t need the person.
Ah, but for 8 of the values, you need to print the number, which changes each iteration.
Gosh, was that ten years ago already? I remember this vividly. In fact I moved all my feeds over to feedly and still have a task in the back of my mind that I should check whether there is anything in there that I should keep up with. Clearly not that important if I haven't needed it in ten years. Lol
> About what percentage of JavaScript developers don't use NodeJS?

I'm always surprised by developers who prefer to use Node on the backend.

I used Node for a small project. Never again.

No typing, requiring a couple of dependencies just to get poor, half-assed typing that doesn't really work anyway.

Poor dependency management, although this is probably not the fault of the tool, it's the fault of a poor ecosystem dominated by junk.

A primitive execution model, requiring hacks around hacks to get around the fact that the execution model is based on single-thread async execution.

Speaking of execution, slow execution too.

Limited IDE help (due to lack of typing). Difficult debugging tooling. No standardisation of anything.

The people using Node know that there's alternatives like Go, and yet they still patch on band-aid after band-aid and engage in drama.

Using Node for the backend is a special kind of hell.

I don't even like Go all that much, but it's a world of difference having strong static typing, nice dependency management, good tooling, simple debugging, no setup costs.

Someone upthread made the point about how they might burn a day just setting up a new Node project. A new Go project might take a few minutes from inception to "hello world".
That's true but was VB6 programs seriously made about memory and resource management? I think it should be modernized anyway when upgrading.
I'm inclined to believe that these accounts are true stories of something that real people reported seeing for a long period of time before the end of the 19th century and that this airship flight would be the first successful contraption to fly under its own power while transporting men. I'm working on figuring out how to support that conclusion. LOL. Wish me luck as I think all the participants are history. Luckily I love history.

EDIT: After reading a bunch of contemporary accounts I am starting to think most of these stories are talking about dirigibles. There was evidently a lot of work going on internationally to get men up in the air and flying under their own control. Several accounts suggest that it would be a useful military tool that would be more flexible than tethered balloons. Since Langley at the Smithsonian actually demonstrated a steam-powered model contraption that won him a Navy contract in about 1896 and resulted in several failed flights including one only 8 days before the Wright brothers flight in 1903, it is obvious that a lot of effort was being expended on mastering powered flight at the end of the 19th century.

Evidently not all of the inventors were interested in the enormous profits that one could earn as one article in a California paper noted after interviewing the lawyer supposed to be associated with the inventor of the airship observed in those 1896-1897 sightings. That article's author said "So far as the public is concerned the inventor does not ask any one to invest in the enterprise. Perhaps this may be evidence of insanity. I will admit that this is the first time to my knowledge that anybody had anything in California in which he did not want anybody to invest money." [0 - Hart's inventor has three aerial fliers.] LOL. Some things never change I guess.

I can imagine a "box", say 1x1x2 meters, that you get in your home, it will have a plexiglass on it, and inside, it will have several AI-controlled arms, and you will be able to command it to fix anything in that space. Not really sure about cooking, but you could ask for example to fix your trousers, or repair a notebook, or make a fitting for water tap, and so on, and it would autonomously do it (it would ask to order some tools and materials and you would bring them to it). These could also be modular so that they could repair themselves in a limited way.

There would also be a larger "boxes" available for fixing larger things. For example, your washing machine broke up, you put it into the "communal" box that is like 6x6 meters, and inside it, it will repair it. Or you could have a communal box that works like a kitchen (but IMHO the biggest problem with AI kitchen is that we cannot easily automate the human taste and smell).

Yes, in a standard time trial race. In the tour de france this year there is only 1 individual time trial of 21 stages.

Otherwise most of the riders will rotate through the peloton (group).

Don't get me wrong aerodynamics is important and yes it is of most importance during a time trial, but that's about it. Otherwise they wouldn't shave their legs all year round. There are many other reasons why professional cyclists shave their legs that are just as important.

I don't think the increase is surprising at all, it's been known for a long time.

Cycling teams have been using wind tunnels for over a decade to improve aerodynamics, all the way down to the difference between tucking and untucking their jersey on warmer stages, head tilt, compression socks, wheels, elbow angle.

Shaving legs only seems to be talked about so much because its a main talking point between cyclists and non-cyclists.
The issue of what is good or bad is all a matter of perspective though.

On the extreme end of this is - What one side considered a terrorist, the other considers them a liberating warrior.

That is easy at that scale but the finer grain you go on morals the more fuzzy it gets and the more push back you will get from all directions. This is how you get things like the 1946 Obscenity threshold of "I know it when I see it".

Many saw the 2008 crash as a major issue that destroyed the lives of millions of people, some hard line environmentalists saw it as the single great decrease in consumption we have ever had.

> But the question posed is weaker at prompting that than the sequence of questions posed by the video.

You really think "what do we get from the sun" is a better prompt? I guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree about that.

We get all kinds of things from the sun. Tides. Light. Tans. But there is only one correct answer to why we worry about "energy production" and "energy shortages" when energy is supposedly conserved.

"What do we get from the sun?" has a lot of correct but off-point answers, which makes it IMHO more a prompt for the questioner to exhibit their superior knowledge than a well-designed Socratic question.
To clarify this. On my RX5700 XT, with ROCm, Stable Diffusion generates images on the default sampler at 512x512 20 passes in about 2 seconds. It's definitively slower than a similar NVIDIA card, but I've no concrete numbers.

It's still a pain in other ways. AMD does not support ROCm on consumer-grade GPUs, it only "happens to work". I had to explicitly install the 3.10 python interpreter and use an older torch version, because seemingly, the newer ROCm releases do not support the RX5700 XT. Also ROCm only works on Linux.
That… is their point?
I agree with you about ideal approach to tests and spec but sometimes the "specification coming from elsewhere" is pretty vague, incomplete or simply lost in time.

In that case, if I have code that satisfies that specification as demonstrated by say acceptance testing or years of use, I will happily opt for test that take the code as specification. I am not using those tests to prove the code "correct" but to prevent regressions during refactor or new feature development later on. Worse case scenario they should keep the program as broken as it is now or has been for years.
Selection bias at work. Bugs in this category are likely to be serious enough to prompt CVE's. If CVE's are what your'e sampling in order go get an idea of what bugs are out there, memory overwrite bugs will be highly represented.
And, not only that. When it explains something and you don't understand, you can ask it to rephrase or give analogies. I guess the only thing missing is imagery
