What about the user?

If your goal is to consume software for which you need long term reliability, accepting software that bundles an unmaintainable (to you) set of dependencies does not make sense. Unless you have no better option [edit: or if you're paying to delegate your problems to someone else I suppose].

As a user, using software sources that make the same choices Debian makes is always preferable for you if that alternative is available.

(Render CEO) The economics are working out well so far and will only improve with scale. Our customers don't want to (or can't) build out large devops or platform engineering teams which cost millions of dollars every year. From that lens, we're not selling compute. We're selling product velocity and operational efficiency. You get the features and scale of K8s without needing to think about it.

IPAM has not been an issue with how we use K8s.

lets say instead of infinite you get 16 instead of 2 channels

then while probably all applications will profit

for most consumer applications you might not notice much of a difference

through you can measure some difference in benchmarks

one exceptions would be various graphic editing software if you do stuff like editing 8k multi channel video content

For compiling you might feel a noticeable difference. It won't be 8x but if you pair it with enough cores and things which have tons of parallel compilation parts it will really feel noticeable faster.

But for most gaming you instead of getting 8x the bandwidth you probably benefit more from a speed improvement e.g. running 6000MT/s DDR5.

Anyway you can get it today ;)

The M2 Ultra has a pretty insane memory bandwidth (and so had the M1 Ultra).
First of all, software projects in general tend to stagnate and die.

If you really want to contribute, I'm sure you can figure out a way. You can always fork it and do your own thing, that's potentially a contribution in itself. It's a little selfish to expect other people to become fluent in technical English and rearrange their project to suit your desires.

I understood "the usual proposal" as "how people usually propose to format current code when others complain about lack of trailing comma", not as a proposal for an actual change to the language.
So if it’s inevitable, what are the possible positive effects?

Are there regions that benefit from the changes that will happen to the weather?

New places that can be used to grow things, new places that might be more appealing to live than it is now?

Should we start looking at transitioning to the changes that you say are inevitable?

My opinion is that most CS graduates end up in a position of software engineering, which is a subset of computer science. That's just what companies are willing to pay for. On top of that, companies are driven by profit (often short-term), which does not require to make good software (on the contrary).

For many companies, it is deemed more valuable to quickly come up with a mediocre solution than to actually study the problem and engineer a good solution. Quickly assemble some libraries into a prototype that will go in production, then either get a promotion or change company. That is how I feel it works most of the time. Therefore developers don't really get/need to study how the system works: they won't be judged on how good they are in computer science, but rather on how fast they build the next prototype that will be shipped to customers.

Those who want to keep learning about actual computer science have to do it in their free time. Which is fine for a while, but at some point they grow older and have other priorities in their free time, which probably makes it look like they lose interest in CS.

I don't think it means that libraries replace computer scientists in making good software. Libraries enable developers to quickly assemble mediocre software, and they get paid for that. One still needs computer scientists to make good software, but most companies don't want that (because that is not what will increase their short-term profit).

Again, just my opinion :-).

Oh, so “just already be good at talking to your kids”. Appreciate the advice.

Seriously, this is for parents that want to do a better job. Your advice isn’t particularly useful as it isn’t specific enough for people that aren’t already connecting with their kids.

I'm confused as to your statement. So you're saying blind computer users shouldn't be recommending what they feel works for them to fellow blind computer users? Only people who are getting paid to review should recommend experience?

Also, are you saying that blind computer users can't use a wide assortment of computers? I have a buddy who is blind and is a developer and they happen to have a top end MacBook Pro and uses it quite well. I don't think that calling them a -low- user makes any sense at all.

Hi Phillip. Lovely article and blog in general! Is there an RSS URL I can't find? Would like to subscribe, but I find email newsletters irritating.
There should be a law prohibiting them from claiming that. Someone should challenge it in court
In addition to what everyone has already said, memory controllers are relatively big and expensive. System integrators often ship systems <~$1000 with only a single channel of memory. It’d probably be like pulling teeth to get them to actually ship a 4-channel configuration. Putting in unused memory controllers is a big waste.

People who have many threaded workloads which can actually use all that memory bandwidth tend to get workstation or server platforms.

They are using the ancient vendor kernels too, anything from 3.x to 4.x to 5.x which sort of defeats the purpose. Most of those are pretty small too, they would be better off reversing them..

But did it do the things people wanted? Why have the complexity of a multiuser system on a single user PC? Why have multitasking when the system can barely run a single task competently?
Its undervolted, but it doesn't make a difference in ST tests because (without bus overclocking) its hard capped at 5GHz.

I am running good RAM, and some laptops run soldered LPDDR5X which is also very good. DDR5 SODIMMs are unfortunately not so good, as they need 1.35V to run at awful timings/speed.
There's also the issue of code size.

x86 encoding space already has a lot of clutter in it.

The cost of low code density is that less code fits in cache. This cost is paid in performance, power, area or a combination of them.

You are correct, I was a victim of the weekend! But I did quickly get a reply from someone on the Permission Slip team and posted it as a reply up-thread this morning. Here, again, is what I got:

“this has definitely come up in discussions. Non-profits were initially exempt from complying with data requests, but are set to kick in. We’re keeping a close eye on it.”
I am sympathetic to this idea of emergence creating a new field of AI as distinct from the statistics that underlies it.

Then the focus should be to identify something like a fundamental unit of intelligence in order to formalize a higher-order science out of the foundations. An analogy can be drawn between physics and chemistry: we needed to properly identify "the atom" and its component parts to get anywhere with the science of chemistry. But it took a whole lot of physics to get to that point. It seems similar with the ML-cum-AI transition where we'll still need to dig very deep into statistics and information theory before being able to abstract them away in favor of higher-order concepts.

To me it seems we're really far from anything like that yet. Like at least a couple decades if not more. Friston's got some cool ideas that make me think he may have his name on some stuff later on but again the theory on learning systems is barely getting started.
They changed the schedules around to have some trains go to grand central from every line but there’s limited numbers of trains, track space, and platforms at Jamaica. The upshot is that there are fewer peak express trains at good commuting times and transfers at Jamaica are no longer synchronized by time and track.

The Oyster Bay line has been hit particularly badly.

On top of that because of how far underground the gcs platforms are and the fact that the old Hunters Point Ave method wasn’t that bad, even people that work on the east side aren’t seeing big benefits, if any.
In the Home Assistant community most GPIO and other duties have migrated to ESP devices and the excellent esphome[0]. I have at least 10 devices around my home and it's fantastic, I haven't wired up GPIO to a Pi or anything other than a $5 ESP8266/ESP32 for years.

>The team of University of Illinois and Princeton University researchers created a cost-effective, end-to-end pipeline for this valuable organic acid by engineering a tough, acid-tolerant yeast as the fermenting agent, avoiding costly steps in downstream processing.

Seems like the most important part, they modified yeast to make it for them which can keep making the acid without needing to constantly adjust the pH to keep them alive, which introduces things that have to be removed later at great cost.
Goot to hear! I'll keep an eye on your app, hopefully you figure this out.

Yeah that’s kind of interesting actually. All other things equal, Europe getting colder than it has been in the last few hundred years would be bad. But, in the context of the entire earth getting warmer, Europe getting colder than it would get otherwise does seem like a good thing.

I assumed the GP was just concerned about somebody pushing code to a shared trunk branch that happened to break a build. Though as it happens I do know of some shops that literally do have a CI/CD pipeline that's so automated such a push would result in a production update (of course such a set-up wouldn't even allow a push if it did break the build, or cause any of the steps in the pipeline to fail). But yes, I'd normally interpret "pushing code" as pushing to your own feature branch, in which case I'd wonder "is it really so unusual for devs to do this out of hours"? I've certainly done it on weekends before, but with no expectation that anyone would review/merge the changes until normal business hours.
> Which nobody considered for a single second

Of course they did.
This is why I moved to AirPods Pro from the regular ones. When I go walking I end up turning up the volume like crazy so that I can hear over the sound of traffic. With the Pro, I can keep the volume much lower (and I only wear in one ear, so I can still hear traffic noises). Strangely, or you want to be able to use ANC when only one AirPod is in use, you have to go into the accessibility settings to enable this functionality. Otherwise it kills ANC when you pull out one AirPod.
Sadly, we have reached a stage at which change is much harder – first because we've waited way too long, secondly because the West is currently faced with a war (which might be in the process of blowing up into a world war, we'll see), a financial crisis and a democratic crisis.

So... I'm not optimistic.
Yeah, at this point in my career I'm tired of the bullshit that management spouts. I know they don't believe one bit of what they are saying except as a method to get product out quicker. We aren't even necessarily labour bound, but management doesn't accept that 9 women can't make a baby in a month.

I'm all for looking at processes periodically to make sure we are doing the right things to get everything released, but when you come at it from a hitting ever tighter arbitrary KPIs you just make everyone angry or apathetic to your words.
> one where several trillions of deficit spending were fully financed by the Fed

This isn't the Fed reacting to the deficit. Also, the Fed literally cannot directly fund the Treasury [1].

> I will not be surprised, if in the following years financing of fiscal deficits by the Fed

So ahistoric supposition.

> I predict that the hard lending will be painful enough for the Fed and the government to start stimulation of the economy fueled by bailouts and massive deficit spending. And this in turn will cause resurgence of inflation down the road.

See above.

> taking a paper which costs $600 on the mark-to-market basis and giving in exchange $1000 is not a form of QE

Do you consider any money creation QE? (This is incorrect.)

QE means starting with an amount of money to be created and then purchasing assets, including but not limited to government bonds, to create it. Central banks have always lent at the discount window. That's just money creation.

So yes, discount-window lending--whether at market or face value--is money creation. That's the point. It's used when a bank is in trouble, i.e. people want their deposits. So when a bank taps the discount window, it's turning a Treasury into a deposit at the Fed, but it's also typically destroying deposits on its own book. No net new money. Usually in a case of crashing money velocity. And certainly not QE.

> If you can get 5.5% in a MMF (i.e. in RRP and short-term bills), why the hell would you keep your money in a bank's deposit for 1-2%

Because I use my bank account to transact, not store value.

Also, interest rates are rising alongside bank deposits [2]? They've risen before? What you're describing has literally never happened.

> banks get squeezed from 3 sides

Bank margins go up when interest rates rise. Again, you're treating this like a novel situation. It's happened a lot of times in a lot of countries. What you're describing literally never happens.

This isn't even about making unprecedented predictions that have no theoretical basis. It's about misunderstanding the present state of the world. There are resources you can find at the Fed's website, if you're interested, as well as at the Bank of England.

Increasingly yes.

I am in that group now. Basically, my hobby development has moved to Raspi machines. I use a 400 as my primary station and various 3 and 4 models to do projects with.

One very nice thing is to package everything up with a Pi and have that project be self-contained. Dev tools, I/O whatever all nice and compact.

Start another project? Just setup another Pi and go.

Having a higher performance model means moving more of what I do onto a Pi. Things like VS Code run reasonably, but not great. On the 4, many things are close to great.

The 5 appears capable enough to change that equation.

Nice!
Regarding worsening conditions for tech workers - my theory is that this is because tech is particularly sensitive to interest rates. Software developers are often building products that will start making money in the distant future. With interest rates going up, the present value of these future cash flows goes down.

but depending on context you still refer to a pair of 32b DDR5 channels as "a single channel"

e.g. if we speak about how many memory channels a x86 desktop, prosumer or server CPU have they count them as a single channel

main reason for this is that DDR5 didn't split the channel instead of adding a new channel

But the only reason core serialization is considered a "horrible mistake" has nothing to do with performance or with any aspect of the technical implementation. It is considered a mistake only because serialising arbitrary classes breaks invariants in a way that has serious correctness and security implications.
Yeah March 2020. I was not actively trading stocks back then so I watched passively. I do think market timing is bad as a general strategy but sometimes the writing is on the wall. I have timed the market successfully since then though, when seeing glaring trends or decisions whose impact I thought was obvious. But that's small amounts of money at stake, and once in a great while.
why is taking interest in what others like insincere? if i ask a little kid to tell me about their favorite cartoon character, is that insincere too? if my wife wants us to watch a romantic movie together, am i being insincere if i don't dismiss it as uninteresting?

being interested in what other people enjoy is not insincere at all. it is in fact required if we want to build any sort of relationship with them.

you don't have to like it. and you don't have to watch all of it. but you can take an interest without being insincere.

It went up on an Atlas V rocket because of the Vulcan delays. It was originally meant to fly on the first demonstration flight of Vulcan. (I think that's why it's an oddly undersized payload—only two satellites).

Yes, very aware.

Yet, it does not push macro-op fusion in implementations. It can either be done, or not done. But RISC-V creates opportunities where it is possible and not harmful to do so, while increasing code density.

>Exploiting this fact, the RV64G and RV64GC effective instruction count can be reduced by 5.4% on average by leveraging macro-op fusion.

It is up to the architects behind implementations to decide when and if to take advantage of the opportunities created by RISC-V's design to do macro-op fusion.

> I think there’s an interesting discussion to be had about why all these programming tools (languages, frameworks, version control, other infrastructure) have made the job of software engineers so much easier, and many more people have entered the profession as a result, but the wages of software engineers has continued to rise.

More demand. As you’ve stated, we probably just wouldn’t have services like Google Docs if we were still writing code in Fortran. But with the advent of better languages and tooling, people replace old tasks (e.g. spreadsheets copywriting) with automation, and create new types of software (video games, social media, ads). Software engineers have become more efficient but there’s a need for more software engineers, because there’s a need for much more programming.

It’s the same reason people still work a lot despite having more and more automation: our expectations for a decent quality of life (housing, shopping choices, machines) have increased. Workers have become more efficient but there is much more work to be done.

A lot of it is inefficiently too. I believe there are a lot of “bullshit tech jobs” (see: ad creators), and software produced with real money which really just isn’t necessary. Similarly, there are bullshit jobs in other fields (see: call centers); things like huge houses and shopping choices which aren’t necessary,
and there’s a lot of waste (food, old stuff, products designed to fail), which all cause society as a whole to work much more than we really need to.

But it’s not just inefficiency. There are a lot of problems we simply couldn’t tackle with old technology (be it software, hardware, chemical manufacturing, healthcare) which we can tackle now. So, better tools don’t reduce jobs, they just change how the jobs are done and what they’re for.
