This is a false dichotomy. You can have massive parallelism and determinism.

You can trade determinism for convenience, but that doesn't make things easier: now you have to deal with the determinism.

But to suggest that massive parallelism somehow implies non-determinism is quite disingenuous from my perspective.

We have mutexes and lock-free ring buffers and stable sorts and all sorts of bells and whistles to make parallelism safe elsewhere. We also already have tools to solve this for GPUs.

As for pin count, google around a bit and find out how much trouble the relaxed attitude to pin count caused for Motorola. The 68K paid dearly for its many pins.
Chromium once supported unity builds. For me it speeded up builds from 6 hours down to 1 hour 20 minutes on a Windows laptop. And Chromium tries to make their headers reasonable.

Chromium eventually dropped support for such builds. At Google the developers have access to a compilation farm that compiles within like 5 minutes. With such farm unity builds makes things slower as they decrease parallelism. So Google decided not to support them not to deal with very occasional compilation breakage.

LLMs have obvious limitations and a big contributor is the training data and the way they are trained in a supervised way. Although that is not as much of a limitation as with most other AIs because of the "in-context learning" ability.

But that doesn't mean that future LLMs couldn't conceivably learn abstractions than are at a higher level or even perhaps inaccessible to humans in number of layers or complexity.

I think the obvious type of superintelligence that is only a few years away is what I call hyperspeed AI. LLMs are a very specific application which we will be able to accelerate greatly. Within a decade the output speed will be dozens of times faster than human thought.

Because they will have robust reasoning and extreme "thinking speed", these AIs will probably be connected to industry and military applications. Humans will need to be removed from the loop because waiting for a human decision means the competitors' AIs race ahead the equivalent of days or weeks.

If this is fine then it will create a precarious situation for humans where they are only nominally in control and things like advanced AI "viruses" might become very dangerous.

It's also certain that researchers will continue to develop new types of AIs that incorporate more animal (such as human)-like capabilities.
I have a 30 year career in this business, and I know full well what my Github and other online exposure has done for my career, and my experience does not mirror yours. It has mattered. It's not "made" my career, but it's smoothed paths and gotten me respect from people I'd otherwise not have gotten anything out of. I do accept it won't matter for most people.

But that was not my point. My assumption to start with is that most of us do not put much on Github that more than a few other people will care about. But most individual accounts are also of minimal value to Github or other people training LLMs. So however small recognition you get from having code accessible publicly (for me it's the occasional recognition when doing job interviews and a few e-mails from people now and again), you lose that to take away far less value to people training LLMs.

For the vast majority of us, it takes a vastly inflated ego to think withholding our code from a public repository will even be noticed by more than a handful of people. There are exceptions, to be sure, but they are vanishingly small proportion of us.
If on Fedora, you can give it a whirl like so:

cd $(mktemp -d)
fedpkg clone -a -b f38 libreoffice && cd libreoffice
fedpkg mockbuild

This requires the 'fedpkg' and 'mock' packages be installed, and that your user is in the 'mock' group

Compiling is one of many benchmarks I do, lol

Edit: note for posterity -- the branch will change as time goes by. Fedora 38 is the current release, so f38 is used.

The source for the code and the target for the build don't have to match. Look into different 'mock roots' at /etc/mock/*.cfg
Who's your audience? The internet or corporate/government?

I understand why the blogger chose his words. His goal isn't to propose change at Google. He wants views and the internet loves crudeness, free from the shackles of reality.

But Attention is only one ingredient. And the way this is framed it will stay as some crude internet lingo and nothing more. Which is fine for a blogger, because they got the attention desired and will simply make more blogs.

If your goal is simply to rant on the internet, the term is perfect. If you want this to spread to larger and larger news and around corporate meetings, we already shot ourselves in the feet.

Interestingly, there were no differences in the number of procedures performed on meeting and nonmeeting days (it's not the surgeries that are killing people).

The hypothesis that I find most interesting is that the cardiologists who are at the meetings spend less time caring for patients and more time doing research, hence they aren't as good at caring for patients.

You are entirely right, whether something that depends on higher-order derivatives can be called Newtonian is debatable. Personally I don’t really care either way, as this is just a label. Newton did not mention higher-order derivatives but on the other hand they are a trivial extension to the mathematical framework. It is difficult to call a body at rest if any of the derivatives of the position is not zero, because then it will start moving instantaneously so it is hard to read the first law otherwise. And the second law does not care about anything other than acceleration. And there certainly isn’t anything that prevents us from using clever shape to roll balls on, as long as the shape make physical sense.

What this does not change, however, is that the dome does not demonstrate non-determinism. The apparent demonstration hinges on logical errors that remain errors regardless of the framework used, be it classical or quantum mechanics, or relativity.
I mean my preferred solution would be zoning reform first, yes. I was just proposing an amendment to OPs policy, I don't think it's politically viable in the US.

In my large US city, a lot of apartments are held by various corporations that collude via third party software to raise and keep prices high. The local building managers have no say in lease pricing. Maybe a small percentage of people are lucky enough to find mom/pop landlords but many are stuck paying whatever the large complexes charge.

Since I write mostly in Rust and Python, I seldom need a debugger any more. I used one back in the C/C++ era. Sometimes, when some C/C++ level below Rust breaks, I use gdb. Not often.

Somewhat to my surprise, I was able to use gdb to find out why a multi-thread program Rust had a 100x performance degradation under Wine.
The trouble was down in Wine's DLLs which emulate Windows. The memory allocator is vulnerable to futex congestion. They layered spinlocks 3 deep, and when enough threads are allocating, all the CPUs spend most of their time in spinlocks. The Wine devs
acknowledge the problem but are still struggling with a fix.
I would have used a profiler, but "tracy" under Wine is broken at the moment.

I used a debugger last year when a C++ JPEG 2000 decoder called from Rust was crashing. Valgrind was more helpful, though. Once someone got the decoder to fail under valgrind, they were able to fix the problem.

The year before that, I used gdb to find a bug in the Rend3 graphics library. That's in Rust, but has unsafe code. The bug was in the unsafe code, of course.

There are times like this when the high-level language abstraction has broken down, and you need to delve into the machinery underneath. But that doesn't come up too often in modern languages.
I use worktrees, but some builds which uses git hash will fail in worktree checkouts, thinking that "it's not a git directory" (forgot the exact error, it's been a while); haven't found a solution to this
The misunderstanding you have is that often the article isn't the point. Just like a football match in a pub isn't always the point. People just want to chime in - the comment section is like an ephemeral pub.

As a 90's kid, I used to be a sci-fi sort of nerd, when I read Asimov it was as if a prophet foretold of the future, I could not wait to earn enough money to buy my own robot.

That a robot would exist in my adulthood was presumed to be certain; I just needed to study to get a job good enough to afford one, like one would dream of a car they would buy when they would grow up.

I distinctly recall a memory from childhood, watching a report in CNN I think, around the year 2000, making predictions of the future, and they mentioned 2015 as the date when everyone would have personal robots. They had something earmarked for year 2005 and 2010 too that i don't remember, but 15 years later was the key moment for me.

And yet....

And I think that's when I came to the realisation that robots, and my sci-fi dreams aren't going to be.

Some how I stop reading Scifi and shifted to Fantasy; Harry Potter becoming popular globally (even in my corner of the world), around that time only sped up matters.

At least with dragons, I don't have any expectations of reality, only entertainment.

It irks me to read "real" Sci-fi now, my Doyle-ist mind refused to shut up about the Watson-ian explanations provided for various scientific phenomena.

I would much rather the mechanism behind a "portal" be from a spell rather than from a dark hole, or whatever, I just can't accept it now.
It's a scam because the cost of removing one ton of CO2 using carbon capture (assuming we're talking about direct air capture) is so high that very few would be ready to pay the price to remove their emissions. Again, reducing how much carbon emissions we produce is way cheaper.

I've got nothing against carbon capture technology in principle, but it's not a solution that will let us continue releasing carbon into the atmosphere at anywhere near the current rate.
That LUT would fit into the M1s L1 cache, so in a microbenchmark you'd expect it to be pretty fast.

I didn't notice anything in The Expanse that contradicts the laws of motion, and it is the only fiction TV show I can think of that is careful in that way.

For example, more than once or twice a space ship is shown firing opposite the ship's direction of travel during the second half of the ship's trajectory. And I seem to recall a scene showing a ship (with only one large engine, which of course is the sensible way to do it) doing a flip at the half-way point to point the engine directly opposite to the direction of travel.
Conical please.
I’m happy to see more excitement on the Wasm area.

For the cases where you may need full POSIX compatibility for sockets, threads, signals or even fork or longjmp/setjmp, I’d recommend using WASIX [1] (also referenced in other comments here) since it has implemented all those system calls missing from WASI.

> It’s not like Europe where hotels are often mixed in with residential areas.

I disagree - I did a search for "Hotels in Mountain view"[1] and I see no distinction between "residential areas" and hotel areas. I randomly searched for apartments close to 5 hotels, and 4 of them had apartments within 2 blocks. Unfortunately Google's shuttle-stops are confidential so I can't correlate how close some of them are to hotels. Regardless, Google can afford to shuttle its employees

> Fonts are typically infinite resolution because they are small programs that you execute.

Vector fonts and vector graphics are two different things. Fonts define an outline. You can programmatically displace points on that outline but you are still limited in the types of outputs you can define due to this restriction and to the overall number of points per glyph the font system allows.

They're pretty far from "infinite resolution" and the errors between screen space and font space are not particularly large and are probably not best understood through signal processing metaphors, was my point.

> Password management is just terrible. Vulnerable populations stand no chance against social engineering. Password manager apps are okay but the UX is pretty awful especially for non-computer savvy folks. People who think about this a lot -- is there a sane future

No there isn’t. Passwords are fine. Password managers are good enough. It takes only minutes to learn the following flow:

1) Reset password

2) Type in the new password into the app (many people are too lazy to do this)

3) Open password manager

4) Copy and paste the password into the text field

That’s all. If people can’t figure this out then quite frankly I don’t understand how they function in other areas of life.
DevEx, or DX for short, stands for developer experience; patterned after UX or user experience. It is the hipper, developer-focused version of developer productivity which sometimes carries negative, managerial connotations. Think "What can we do to improve the developers' experience?" versus "What can we do to increase productivity?"

Ugh. Yes. Bane of my web existence: a site will have a list view and a detail view. Can’t right click (or use extensions) to open one item in its detail view.

Even then, it would almost be forgivable if going back to list view (via their button or the browser button) were instant and seamless, but…

It never is! Going back means waiting for all the content to reload again and losing my position.

Why do you designers keep allowing this?

Edit: and for the final kick in the balls, some websites force all tabs to be the same in some respect! Like, Facebook makes it (or at least did one time) so that you have to have the same chats popped up in every tab. If you close one in one tab, it closes in all other tabs. Why?! There’s a reason I have multiple tabs open!
FTP is such a horribly dated protocol; it's actually older than TCP!

The NAT issues are well known, but resolved in a standard way. However, the intersection of {Features defined in RFCs} and {Features implemented in FTP Servers} is much smaller than the sizes of either set. Many useful things are implemented outside of the spec, and most of the spec is not implemented in servers.

"The magic goes away" series so far is one of the best I actually encountered (for me). I like the more realistic and honest nature of the characters, and the sense of impending doom and how does it modify the characters' behaviour. I find it pretty engaging so far.

I did enjoy the beginning of one of Alistair Reynolds' books but haven't gotten around to read it in full yet.

"Stormlight Archive" so far I find a bit prolonged as well but Sanderson is very good at literally everything else so I'll keep going (2 out of the 4 books down so far).

Read a few short stories in the Witcher universe and loved them but haven't read the books themselves yet. But I have a feeling that I'll love them too.

Gart Nix's "Old kingdom" (the original 3 books) were okay, I loved their world-building but didn't like truly love them. 7/10 though, solid books. Haven't tried to read anything from the expanded universe yet.

And of course LOTR, though I have to admit I never managed to read it more than twice for my entire life.
Thank you, Bram Moolenaar, for literally changing the way that I interact with my text editor, and hence with my computer. I remember seeing a vim user for the first time, and just being in so much awe of what he could accomplish that I sat down immediately and started learning vim myself. I'm still on that learning curve, many years later.

Tangentially, is there any easy way to find out whom the black banner is for other than trial and error?

These were intended to get to 4k cores (but 32 bit), w/32K on-die memory, but the ability to read from/write to other cores. A 6502 inspired variant would be cool, but to not get killed on the cycle cost of triggering reads/writes you'd probably want a modified core, or maybe a 65C816 (16-bit mostly 6502 compatible).

How about we start with all the places that have huge asphalt and concrete slabs? Because that's what we're talking about. These are not middle-of-nowhere places, these are where people congregate and/or live in high enough density to justify the cost.

Plant trees there, and move your utilities underground, geography and climate permitting.

And then keep that electricity above ground for all the parts where people don't (or sparsely) live. They're not the areas that are part of this problem.

I'd assume almost all Star Trek civilizations have their own "post-scarcity utopia", but it could be incomplete and/or not quite an utopia because of racism (e.g. Romulans), slavery, problematic culture (e.g. Klingon expected lifespan), villains, catastrophes and other Enterprise-level trouble.

I see no reason to believe this will actually be the case based on anecdotal evidence from folks I know who have tried out the early module implementations. I’m hoping they are wrong, but I do not think that modules or anything else is going to result in a significant speedup for the average case, and large C++ compile times will remain a perpetual feature of the language.
