> the amount of computation available today in a PC could be enough to do things (good and bad) way beyond human ability.

I am in the camp that this is possible and that humans have achieved it already. I believe things are going to get very weird when these techniques become mainstream. The GPU-cluster-bound algorithms are just a tiny stepping stone.

Do we start taking computers away from people? What do we do about this if it turns out the only barrier to entry is the software?
> It's been a while since you can rerun/resume Nextflow pipelines

Yes, you can resume, but you need your whole upstream DAG to be present. Snakemake can rerun a job when only the dependencies of that job are present, which allows to neatly manage the disk usage, or archive an intermediate state of a project and rerun things from there.

> and yes, you can have dry runs in Nextflow

You have stubs, which really isn't the same thing.

> I have no idea what you're referring to with the 'arbitrary limit of 1000 parallel jobs' though

I was referring to this issue: https://github.com/nextflow-io/nextflow/issues/1871. Except, the discussion doesn't give the issue a full justice. Nextflow spans each job in a separate thread, and when it tries to span 1000+ condor jobs it die with a cryptic error message. The option of -Dnxf.pool.type=sync and -Dnxf.pool.maxThreads=N prevents the ability to resume and attempts to rerun the pipeline.

> As for deleting temporary files, there are features that allow you to do a few things related to that, and other features being implemented.

There are some hacks for this - but nothing I would feel safe to integrate into a production tool. They are implementing something - you're right - and it's been the case for several years now, so we'll see.

Snakemake has all that out of the box.

Parametric polymorphism gets you subtyping for function types even if you don't have it in general. `forall a . a -> a` is a subtype of `T -> T` for any particular `T`, for instance. And if you don't have subtyping or polymorphism, then talking about "leaving out" co/contravariance doesn't really make sense: there's nothing left to vary.

Related: the boot scroll. most of the time the scroll of boot messages is harmless and when the system fails to boot it is very very useful to see where. yet the design types hated it. and now no desktop orientated OS shows a boot scroll, opting for a near useless spinner instead.

Opinion: I quite like the scroll, I think it comforting to see what the machine is doing. I think this is why sim city put a fake one in their loader(reticulating splines anyone). I wonder if the sim city messages tied into actual load events and could be used by the programmers to debug the loader. I think the later ones were random, but 2000 might of had an order to it.

This is a good article, though as someone who prefers references/tables to prose for technical topics, the real find for me was the link out to the Unicode CLDR project (which sadly contains a LOT of broken links right now due to a data migration effort but I'll bookmark it & hopefully it'll be navigable in future).

As someone with a Polish partner, who also fluently speaks my own weird minority local language (Irish), I'm more than well aware of pluralisation pitfalls; Irish may have one of the most complex rulesets, so much so that I'm almost certain it isn't represented in CDLR (possibly can't be). But I see the plural pitfall brought up in so many of these guide - I've always been curious about other unexpected/unintuitive pitfalls across languages out there. Would love if there was a simple reference of the most interesting (starting with plurals I guess).

So when you're drawing triangles on the PSX, do you basically get the GTE hardware to figure out your coordinates, before putting those into the appropriately indexed packet?

I'm guessing this explains the PSX-specific artefacts you would see when rotated triangles would "clip" into each other at the seams of models. The ordering would just come from the average Z coord of the plane.

Sometimes when I put my power user hat on I find myself thinking that the software I'm currently using is not meant for power users and instead I need to look for the alternatives. Now it's not just a few clicks away but I need to install some new type of software.

So the options for power users are still here, but they just aren't front and center as they used to as you said. This reminds me a little bit of the discussion around the iphone not being customizable and the response being that you have the option to just get an android phone instead.

At some point in the spectrum here one must become lazy when they can't be bothered to click on a few things or find an alternate product, and you become entitled when you demand power user features to become front and center when the vast majority won't ever need to use the features.

I've always had the opinion that it's possible to have a middle ground. User friendly defaults, the ability to dig deeper and the ability to make advanced features more readily accessible. It's not easy though, picking one or the other is definitely a lot easier.
It’s a text game with ambient sounds, background and buttons. No paywall or signup (yet), it just starts.

I wouldn’t even listen to it and think that I’m losing my mind and need to find shelter fast, instead of looking up, down, speaking to it asking where I am, etc. It doesn’t make sense to me neither realistically nor metaphorically, but YMMW.

Some people even claim that this is a natural process. But this phenomenon is most visible in the US and UK. It is the logical result of privatization and market liberalization from past decades. Power and wealth has shifted from the commons to private ownership and this is only going to continue.

Of course this would be a different story if private actors had to play by the same rules, but if you amass enough capital, you are „too big to fail“ for capitalism and your losses are paid by the public.

Too big to fail should nowadays be called „too big to exist“.

> All these workflows are a derivation of the source in the repository and keeping them close together has a great aesthetic.

I agree. Version control is a great enabler, so using it to track "sources" other than just code can be useful. A couple of tools I like to use:

If someone wants to buy a company and liquidate it, that's up to them. If they make a profit then they're actually adding value. If they don't they will soon stop. Doing it via fees and loans is no different to just a straight liquidation as far as I can see. And since all the owners/investors are willingly taking part of they lose their money, that's on them.

It's sad that people's jobs get eliminated. But we have accepted (for good reason) that jobs are never guaranteed. So that's life.

Everything else here is basically just fear-mongering.
Incorrect. Closed source means that you cannot modify or redistribute the sources.

I'd love the same, that's why I threw the "good guys" point. Also I really believe that some kind of Blockchain-powered AI actor will be a game changer with totally unpredictably outcomes because it will be a biggest revolution in power balance since nuclear bombs.
That's a whole lotta words to avoid addressing the contradictions in your statements: do you want them to keep being funded mostly by Google or do you want them to venture out into other funding opportunities?

Go ahead and do that, nothing's stopping you. You've been beating this same drum for the past three years[0], don't you get tired of it? I'm begging you, do something useful for the future of the web instead of shitting on those that do. It doesn't have to be Mozilla, donate to FSF, Ladybird, Internet Archive, Wikimedia, and so on and so on. Get involved, be the change you want to see, create your own NGO that will do something better and I'm gonna be the first one to throw money your way. Just do something useful with your time instead of chasing internet points by behaving like a parrot.

> On thing I feel we are still missing is for FSF, Wiki, Archive.org, etc. to effectively gather enough cash to start lobbying in politics and in industry much in the same way Meta and Alphabet do.[1]

Look into OpenCL / CUDA programming models.

Then it will be much easier to learn native SIMD programming for specific ISAs.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Kernel
I don't think the kind of student the author is talking about has ADHD symptoms or any sort of mental illness. I think they just have different personalities - and having a certain personality than the majority of people shouldn't be considered a mental illness or disorder. People are not all the same... at what threshold do we count difference in personalities as an issue?? As long as the person can keep functioning in society without major side effects (crime, extreme isolation, depression) the person is just "normal" even if they tend to work and act differently from the average.
from what you've written so far it seems pretty accurate.
As a counter-example, one can read sources that provide logically coherent reasoning/research into how humans require human interaction and “self-heal” by exposing oneself to more of it.

Which, in fact, I have done and I do. (I am also somewhat fond of the “recursion” theory of self-awareness, in which modeling humans around us requires us to create a model of ourselves within their model, and which more or less requires other humans for human consciousness as it is generally understood to even occur.)

Well, to be fair, to run an unquantized 70B model is going to take somewhere in the area of 160gb of VRAM (if my quick back of the napkin math is ok). I'm not quite sure of the state of GPUs these days, but getting a 2x a100 80gb (or 4x 40gb) setup is probably going to cost more than a Mac Studio with maxed out RAM.

If we are talking quantized, I am currently running LLaMA v1 30B at 4 bits on a MacBook Air 24GB ram, which is only a little bit more expensive than what a 24GB 4090 retails for. The 4090 would crush the MacBook Air in tokens/sec, I am sure. It is however completely usable on my MacBook (4 tokens/second, IIRC? I might be off on that).

A 4 bit 70B model should take about 36GB-40GB of RAM so a 64GB MacStudio might still be price competitive with a dual 4090 or 4090 / 3090 split setup. The cheapest Studio with 64GB of RAM is 2,399.00 (USD).
There are some interesting things in development to potentially solve that problem.
