It's rather disingenuous to say that assembling an Ikea shelf and using a framework to build are analogous. The latter is almost always vastly more complex for any product beyond the most simplistic, and requires pulling in skills and techniques which are engineering related.

It really is wild what you can do in your garage these days. Since the early 2010’s there has been a true revolution in this space that has only accelerated over the last few years. I have an injection molding machine that I built in my garage for less than $1500 USD that has a 3 cubic inch injection volume, able to make a large variety of plastic components at small production scale using a mold I printed from my $500 USD resin printer. A guy I met at the maker space has a literal pick and place and wave soldering machine in his garage and he is etching wafers on his desktop CNC. Hardware has never been more accessible.

Hardware is still really hard. But it’s definitely something someone with a software salary can bootstrap in their garage these days. Especially because I can go to JLCPCB and get some reasonably complex fully assembled prototype boards shipped to me in a week or two for $5-20 USD per unit. Ridiculously nice

I honestly have no idea and the article just assumed I do.
Duh? High quality generative features on-device would be a shocking leap.
I understand this is ACM, but I would say the decline has strictly been a failure of software.

Specifically, corporate IT's failure to deliver general purpose development tools usable by anyone in a company to make computers do work for them (aka programming).

There's still a ton of general value that could be delivered by general purpose processors/computers.

But instead, most non-programmers live in a Kafkaesque reality where the only programs they have access to don't do what they want, and so their work becomes "working around the bad program."

I helped a lady on Friday at a midsized bank whose job it was to take a set of dates in an Excel file, search each one individually into an internal search tool, then Ctrl+f the result report and verify that every code listed in the original document exists in the report.

For 100+ entries.

Every month.

In 2023.

What the fuck are we doing as a society, that this lady, with a machine that could compute the above in a fraction of a second, has to spend a decent chunk of her work time doing this?

Example specifically chosen because I've seen innumerable similar "internal development will never work on this, because it's too small of an impact" issues at every company.

Computers should work for us. All of us. Not the other way around.

I think the raspberry pi (and possibly arduino) have made learning the foundational principles more accessible. They make it possible to go from circuit fundamentals up to unix sysadmin fundamentals.

I have a feeling that some of the "mods abusing power" phenomenon is that they may be subconsciously afraid of losing their mod position and all the power and authority that comes with. They have no method to hold that power tight except to wield it against any perceived threat.

So paying mods might reduce that behavior since their power is tied to them doing their job properly and there is an authority to appeal to if they suck and abuse power.

Not to say dang isn't doing a great job only because he's paid to! But I agree with you, paid mods have different rewards and goals than volunteer mods.
First job or two do affect your entire career, not to mention the lasting effects of networking. “There are plenty of counter examples” doesn’t mean people don’t give a shit in general, it means it’s not the only factor at play.

As for “or something”, it is well known that the bar is very high for Asians and extracurriculars are needed to distinguish oneself (too many perfect SATs and GPAs), but maybe there are other demographics similarly affected that I don’t hear about much.
Where in the HTTP/3 spec does it allow for non-encrypted connections? HTTP/3 is a mapping of HTTP semantics to QUIC specifically, and QUIC mandates TLS 1.3 negotiation.

Also quiche supports self-signed certificates (I use it with them). In fact I'm not aware of any raw QUIC or HTTP/3 implementations that don't allow implementing your own certificate handling.
PEP683 finally landed in Python 3.12: https://peps.python.org/pep-0683/

Sort of. They were early to use vector databases for semantic search. Now we use embeddings from a neural net as features for semantic search, I think they used lots of labels and analyzed features like beats per minute, chord progression, etc. happy to be corrected of course.
I really like asciidoc as an alternative to markdown, but it seems like the only preprocessors are written in JavaScript & Ruby, which limits where/how I can use it

Don’t you need hundreds of thousands of dollars to become an entrepreneur? Or millions? I mean buying a place to do business alone is crazy, real estate is so expensive. I would start with that if I was wondering why people aren’t starting businesses. Is the money there? You can’t educate yourself into three hundred thousand dollars. Seems like the first obvious place to look.
As an example of my last paragraph above, a random comment from a biologist:

They place everything under /opt/OD3E/<version>, which is fine for support files but also place their binaries there rather than installing under /usr/bin or even /opt/OD3E/bin.

What I find weird about it is that you don't typically install multiple versions of the same software globally that way, if you have a .deb package you would have one version with its binaries going in /usr/bin, libs in /usr/lib, headers in /usr/include, and support files in /usr/share. Or supporting XDG so you can control where those files go if you want multiple versions installed, or if you want to support multiple versions directly.

It's just an odd install path for a Debian package to use, I don't think I've seen it before.
Yeah, they want the end to the ethnostate of Israel. Meanwhile, Israeli leaders want to end the entire Palestinian ethnicity. Given that, why would there be anything wrong with wanting an end to that state? Are the Palestinian people just supposed to lay down and die?

I am genuinely curious what people like you expect them to do, and — if you were in the Palestinian position — what you would do.
Fwiw, I'd still prefer living on the west coast of Canada than an overwhelming majority of other places like the U.K or U.S, even despite literally not having a job, any prospects, or the possibility of owning a home at any point in my life, even as a software developer. If I left, and it's possible, it would be because all of those factors got to a point where I had no choice.

> ...on the surface this looks like a pretty ridiculous take.

Is it really? If you put up a significant barrier to a group of people, and only the exceptional can cross those barriers, it's shouldn't be that surprising when the pool that make it past those barriers is filled with a higher percentage of exceptional people.

Sort of like how a surprising percentage of women in the sciences before 1960 were of Ada Lovelace quality. The women who were merely competent weren't allowed to work in the sciences.

It's worth giving Dark Emu a (critical) read. It gathers numerous primary sources from early explorers which describe practices of cooperative harvesting, cultivation, and land management between indigenous tribes in Australia. They also had totemic moieties which governed who could conceive together within and between tribes, ostensibly to avoid in-breeding.

The agricultural revolution that spawned from the Indus valley civilisations were dependent on beasts of burden which were lacking in Australia. Though maybe with time something similar might have happened in Australia to, as it did in the Incan empire before it was destroyed by the conquistadors
lol, I'm just thinking of how awful the Manhattan project would have turned out if it had half the invisible things that can go wrong in software deployments.

If software caused mushroom clouds each time it had a problem in the field, nobody would let MBAs run software projects!
Kind of a counterpoint: I've heard countless stories (albeit, in Japan) of people doing things like "manually" doing additions of numbers they already have in a spreadsheet instead of just asking Excel to do the addition in what, two clicks, because they "can't trust the computer to do it right" which sounds like a BS rationalization to justify that they wouldn't have much of a job if the computer was doing it.
Try clicking the mouse wheel. Most mice do this.
In the US, with stuff like qualified immunity, having public access to records of crimes doesn’t allow anyone to be held accountable.

Also, based on repeated leaks, our public records laws are completely inadequate.

At least when an ad tech company gets caught breaking the law, they get fined a couple seconds of revenue, and there is a theoretical chance someone might get sent out for a few days of community service or probation.
This used to be Google Refine at some point. It seems it still uses GWT (Google Web Toolkit) which was an amazing idea for its time.

There's so much low hanging fruit in that "enable people to build their own personalized llm things" niche.

For instance, I keep looking at the recent llama.cpp/transformers custom grammar support, and think "wow, this is amazing, and everyone is going to use it..." But they still aren't using it! Its just some very thin middleware away from exploding in use for all sorts of niches, I think.

And thats just one random example.
Are you saying that it’s logical, or sane, to demolish a brand new building, built to spec, because the bureaucratic stamps took place out of order?
A large amount of inefficiency is actually a chain of accountability. Trust, and failing that assigning blame, and trusting those assignments, is the root of so. much.
That's why so many ancient cultures made beer. Basically every culture that began eating grains immediately also started fermenting them into beer.

It wasn't for the alcohol, that was normally very low in c. 5000BC beer anyways. It was because people that consumed it were healthier than those that didn't. Fermentation is nutritius and beneficial beyond alcohol/calories/potable water.
If AMD really wished ML researchers to use their hardware, they could have put in the effort to make OpenCL or Vulkan competitive with CUDA with respect to ease of developing ML systems. nVidia did put in that software effort, AMD didn't so now they both reap the consequences.

I can see mincing garlic or herbs as being a lot of small cuts, but more like 50-75. I think a person might get up to 500/day if they're finely chopping something for all 3 meals, but I don't think that's average.
Nobody is talking about building the engine lol, you're all making the exact "just program everything in assembly" comment the author was taking the piss out of.

You have probably 80% of people using React that have absolutely no idea how the three main functions in it's API work. That's the equivalent of a 747 captain having no idea what the TOGA button does and only knowing that that's the one you press to do a take off or a go around.
I would say that the probability of a false flag is not zero.

The question would be who, how, and why.
I agree, something that's never made sense to me is the fixation on best practices as static rather than situational. I've worked with so many smart people who refuse to entertain any analysis or options in a given situation that don't fall along the lines of what's in fashion in the given era. Despite their situation varying wildly from the conditions under which certain ideas or practices originated. Despite their situation presenting a certain dimension that begs for the solution to be chosen around it.

The field has an obsession with knowledge and an underappreciation of wisdom, judgment, and experience. The fact that "senior" titles are given so freely 2-5 years into the career is a sign that knowledge, which can be crammed and accelerated unlike wisdom, is overvalued as a component of "experience".
Which most of these students will have entirely forgotten a few years after graduation - use it or lose it.
Going in a different direction, if you're interested in a fantasy book that explores the concept of life as a tree then check out Tree of Aeons by Spaizzzer. It's an isekai where a guy is reincarnated as a magical tree. Admittedly, the book series dropped off a bit for my taste after the first book, but it was still a creative take on the genre.
One thing I don’t understand is how the architecture of Apple Silicon is different from NVidia’s.

Looking at this quote:

> the Nvidia H100 GPU has 132 SMs with 64 cores per SM, totalling a whopping 8448 cores.

8448 cores sure sounds impressive. But the Apple M2 Ultra only has 76 cores?!

How can the NVidia H100 GPU have over 110x more cores? Clearly it doesn’t have 110x more performance over the M2 Ultra, so what is going on here?
I can't tell if you're joking or not. That's not how the Canadian system works.
Those ML researchers (myself included) wanted to get the job done.
I am surprised semiconductor engineers called it impossible. A cutting edge chip, sure, but a few thousand transistors?
now code can flow..
or it can crash....
be code, my friend.
I agree clarity is needed but i would caution that it is not ethical to let executives that get to make that determination.

I don't think we as engineers can ethically ever let management optimize our work for the short term. They will ALWAYS want the short term improvement and by even giving them that decision we abdicate our own judgement. That abdication is totally unethical.
The failure is primarily due to stagnation in single core speed improvements since 2003, compared to previous decades.

Yes we have more cores now, and single cores have got faster, but nothing like the scale of the 1990's when raw clock speeds increased 150x.

Moore's law is about the number of transistors, not the speed of the device. More cores are good, but software is hard to parallelize, despite decent efforts from the CS community.

There have also been efforts to put FPGAs into general purpose CPUs. These have also not taken off.

For most users, a single core CPU running at 30GHz would appear faster than 32 cores running at 2GHz.
I don't think this is a free-standing implantation. The docs start with:

> nghttp3 is a thin HTTP/3 layer over an underlying QUIC stack.
> Unless your friend is required to do the work above their title

This is what the OP is implying is happening (I'm not going to rule on fact). Or at the very least, the person is voluntarily doing work above their title.
Anti-science, anti-technology. “Rocket man bad”
> We need to figure out how to incentivize people to choose skilled manual labor as a career.

You just did with the rest of your comment.

>As it is the rewards don't compare with a career spent in an office even if the pay in the office is lower. That's because the office work is more pleasant and the career likely longer due to less wear and tear on the body.
When I started developing KeenWrite[1], I wanted a modular architecture[2] that made the choice of Markdown vs. AsciiDoc vs. DocBook irrelevant with respect to generating PDF or HTML files. The core idea of writing pure text documents is to separate content from presentation; the syntax, while important to some, shouldn't sway the output format.

KeenWrite could integrate AsciidoctorJ and its XHTML5 back-end to support AsciiDoc in the future, if there was demand.

In either case the friend, the man, still is in the superior position.

In the first case they are paid the same as someone with a higher title, and when promoted inevitably they will be paid more than someone with the same title.

In the second case they are paid more than people with their same title who may be performing all of the duties required, and this is not to say that there are not others also performing equivalently who did not received this equivalent wage.

This sort of situation is exactly why people need to talk to their manager, to avoid over performing and being resentful about it. The fact the person was able to get a raise without a promotion is literally the best case scenario. If their work is actually the same they’ll be promoted and get another raise, resulting in higher pay than those with the same title…
He clearly needed to wear a helmet
For long time we had the conservatives who question the new ways of doing things, who don't like the tradeoffs of new benefits vs. new drawbacks. It's a bit amusing to have them on this site :) but that's how people's opinions are distributed.
Say more? What kind of protocol do you mean, and what comes after browsers?
Particularly Interesting,

"In addition, by examining the average correlation by task (App. E), we observe that the harder the task is, the less correlated the EUREKA rewards. We hypothesize that human rewards are less likely to be near optimal for difficult tasks, leaving more room for EUREKA rewards to be different and better. In a few cases, EUREKA rewards are even negatively correlated with human rewards but perform significantly better, demonstrating that EUREKA can discover novel reward design principles that may run counter to human intuition"

You know what else haptic feedback enables? Covert/concealed operation. Instead of a blinking light or sound, that would give away the activity to an observer or reveal a hidden photographer, the vibration allows the operator to get information without revealing their presence or action.

Sorry for what's probably a dumb question, but why do some of these start with 'ng'? Like nginx, and now this?
I agree phones are getting too big but I love my S23's size. It's amazingly powerful.

The Z flip 5 has serious cooling issues, in notebookcheck's test it went over 55 degrees Celsius. The S23 stayed below 30. Apparently this is also why the Flip 5 never got DeX.

I can see why in the teardowns. The SoC in the Flip 5 is sandwiched between two PCBs so there's no way to attach it to the metal frame for cooling through a vapor chamber like the S23 does. Of course the hinge takes up a lot of space.
Science and exploration are not “needless bullshit”. They are the most important and meaningful that thing humans do.
