I think there is a bit of an exaggeration in the previous comment.

Feature sizes decoupled from process node names mid-90s somewhat mildly, with transistor density remaining accurate to the naming. With introduction of FinFET transistors (2012, Intel 22nm), feature size and node naming truly decoupled completely, but node naming still remained largely true to transistor density.

Transistor density started drifting apart from the node naming only recently, and in part it has to do with ever increasing difference in transistor density and its rate of improvement in different parts of the design, especially between logic (shrinks the fastest), SRAM (used for various caches and even register files), and IO (like DRAM controllers, shrinks the slowest).

3nm is smaller than 5nm. It's just there is quite literally not a single meaningful distance measurement in a 3nm design that measures 3nm, just like there is nothing 5nm in a 5nm design - most features are much larger than that physically. Further, (5/3)^2 ~= 2.8 may suggest that this is a 2.8x increase in transistor density, which it absolutely isn't, it's just nobody wanted to name the node 3.5 to yield more accurate and very traditional 2x ratio ((5/3.5)^2 ~= 2). Furthermore, even 2x would be misleading, only logic density increase somewhat approaches that figure:

logic: 1.7x
SRAM: 1.25x
IO: 1.11x

As chips contain all of these components, overall external area (physical size of the entire finished chip) of real-world chips going from 5nm to 3nm is shrinking by about 1.3-1.4x or so, far cry from (very) old school 2x, never mind 2.8x that naming may suggest.

To make things even more complicated, the following is also true: long time ago the cost of the chip was practically proportional to its area almost regardless of the process node used, therefore, 2x smaller chip costed almost 2x less to produce. Not anymore. Now every new node is substantially more expensive per unit area to use, thus a smaller chip on a newer node ends up costing only marginally less - and in some instances, more - than a bigger (by area) chip on an older node.
Absolutely. I’ve had a very similar experience where a bunch of the paddles broke off that push the coffee into the hopper only a couple weeks after we bought it. It was completely our own fault, we had been grinding more coffee than the hopper could handle. I took the thing apart and got in touch with support and they just sent me an entirely new grinder so I didn’t wait to wait to get the one part replaced

This is why I saw microservices are "closer to the metal", i.e. they depend more on the physical characteristics of their environment than non-microservices.

A function call in a monolith can:

* segfault
* be called with the wrong number of parameters
* call the wrong function
* go through but never return
* substitute itself with another function

All of which are very similar to the RPC situation. However we practically never see this because of the OS guarantees like memory safety, security, etc, plus there are standardized ways of handling when these problems do occur, notably try / catch patterns.

These issues can* be abstracted as well, but the advantage of scaling (being close to the metal) is the disadvantage as well (being very close to the hardware abstractions that let you scale).

E.g., there is no difference between running a microservice on a scaling computer than guarantees memory access across a cluster with interrupts, etc (some millions of cpus and terabytes of memory), and running it on a bunch of instances, except the hardware. The former is exotic and abstracts the hardware, the later does not and so all these "low level" errors surface with great frequency.
Fair, this one was in literally perfect condition though. No scratches / damage and a brand new battery.
The article touches on it a bit, but in my experience microservices multiply operational problems (especially at startups where you don't have big, dedicated infrastructure teams). All of a sudden you have 5-10x things getting built in CI and deployed. You need some way to debug issues so usually distributed tracing comes up. Now that you have 10x as many of everything, you obviously want to try to centralize things like networking, authn/z, service discovery so you introduce some platforms to help with that... but someone has to run and maintain all that. That's fine if you want platform/infrastructure teams to maintain these but many startups only have a very small handful of people (10% or less of eng) handling CI/infra/release/performance/observability/networking/traffic mgmt with some title like "SRE" or "devops"
If you self report as autistic, you're probably autistic. Especially because, in practice, an autistic person is defined as someone who self-reports autistic traits to a health care provider.
None of this specifically points to status as an intellectual btw. By your logic, Trump is a public intellectual...

Letting Apple lead things in the market has gotten us to a very ugly space in personal computing. These are prohibitively expensive devices that for 95% of the use cases, a chromebook would be better-suited.

All those intel machines that were so impressive in 2019 are running like crap now. All going according to plan, I'm sure.

I manage a fleet of about 200 of these things. They are easy to manage, and oh-so-nice to look at, but boy, they are a huge waste of money.

These things should only be used by engineers and creatives. Yawn.
The government has no problem getting rid of CSAM and terrorist material, for practical purposes. It's not a technical problem.

But what if they were correct or at they weren't completely wrong?
There are non power of two sized DRAM dies in production these days; it's not purely a matter of stacking (and stacking doesn't make it any easier to have something in between one die per channel and two dies per channel). You can get 24GB single-rank and 48GB dual-rank DDR5 UDIMMs compared to a year ago when the options were 16GB and 32GB; no stacking at all, just going from 16Gbit to 24Gbit per die. But LPDDR has been doing this for longer due to demand in the smartphone market.
These are so beautiful and I wish I had a reason to buy one, but even if I needed a new mac, it's hard to justify a desktop these days when laptops are so capable

Who's the target market, other than sleek reception desks?
Would have liked to see the M3 put in other desktop models and support more external displays with their "upgraded" gpus.
They're a small team, they can only handle/reverse-engineer the M1 as of now.

edit: looks like they are make bigger strides than I thought on M2 as well https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Feature-Support#m2-p...
But we don't need to do that excessively fast. How about a stratospheric balloon? Balloons reach 30-40 km for weather observation purposes.
I strongly agree with the argument that reckless AI regulation could destroy new entrants and open source, allowing established big tech to profit parasitically, especially given the fact that Microsoft has already implemented Copilot in Windows 11 and Microsoft 365.
Not all of them! Many of those skinnerbox type games actually have a pretty mediocre or outright unfun game loop - it's the skins, battle passes and "rewards" which keep people playing.

Sometimes those in need don't want your help.

Sometimes you aren't skilled or knowledgeable enough to help, and you'll just do more harm than good if you try.

Sometimes by helping, you'll cause more harm to yourself than you'll prevent in the other person.

Etc.
I agree, but for complex type systems versus Java-style type systems.

> I’d like to find a model to apply in my HOA to slow or reverse the corporate takeover of my community…

I'm on the board of my condo building's HOA. 5 or 6 years ago, we passed a rule that requires 50% of units building-wide to be owner-occupied. Once the limit is reached, there's a waiting list for anyone who wants to rent their unit. (Meaning you must wait until an owner moves back in or sells their unit.) There's also a hardship waiver at the board's discretion.

The PE/RE investment firms won't touch units with this rule in place; a unit they can't rent makes no revenue and is a waste of capital for them.

Note that this (or any kind of arrangement meant to discourage these kinds of buyers) gets contentious when someone is selling, especially if they're struggling to find a buyer. We recently had someone who needed to sell quickly, had interest from some kind of firm, but no offers from normal buyers (ie human people) due to the soft market. The firm made an offer contingent on the HOA rescinding the rental rule. We were very much not inclined to do so, so there was a lot of tension until the sellers finally got an offer from humans.

(This is not meant to insinuate that PE firms are run by non-humans. Evidence remains inconclusive.)

Of course, this rule can also spook human buyers, but IME once the details and reasoning for the rule is explained, it isn't usually a blocker.
Oryon seems like it's going to be very competitive with the very underwhelming M3 design.

I wish Apple provided more objective technical details in product announcements rather than marketing spin. There’s very little technical specifications here that you can compare to previous generations or even other vendors.
I don't agree with this - types do not imply abstractions, and simple types make simple code.

Every tool has the potential to be misused in accidental complexity.
Fair enough, so 4 of them are not molecules with three atoms.

However, that leaves two that are: ozone (O3) and NO2 Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2). Are you saying these are in fact greenhouse gases?
I think the Mac Studio replaced it, which makes sense- its target market is more likely to want to bring their own display

Autists are like a computer without a network connection. They have to write all their software themselves. Which has advantages and disadvantages. Also they don't get spam or facebook.
Being able to actually interrupt/cancel would be nice. You can get more feedback by adjusting TF_LOG env var. Logging levels have been getting improvements for a while (it used to just be TRACE that spammed everything)
Why is fame relevant at all to this discussion? What is this fixation with "his fame" as a sort of dialectical deus ex machina you keep using it to escape simple unfavorable discussion with respect to Mr. Peterson? (I used the word respect in the same sentence, see? We good?) Can he grab anyone's pussy also?

Edit: also, does he say it was antidepressants? Anyone got the transcripts of podcast episodes where Jordan Peterson lies about being addicted to benzodiazepines/benzos and instead suggests they were antidepressants? I wish Klonopin was an anti-depressant yo, although im also glad thats absurd and truly not the case for my own sake

Edit: help your man Peterson out? Did you purposefully lie or understate the publicly known and available information regarding the nature of his addiction? Was he maybe cleaning his room so thoroughly to find lost drugs Junkie Jesus style? I wanna believe you but my brain can't just lay down its arms and allow this kinda explicit foolishness or deception.
It might be different if you have to talk to an ASIC that cannot understand protobuf, or send billions of values at line speed. But generally I don’t have to care anymore whether a number is sent in exactly sixteen bits, for the same reason I long since stopped caring about message framing or parity or run-length limits or 0-5 vs ±12 V busses. Expressing any of those constraints takes more effort than letting the machine use the commonly-supported default.

If I really wanted to squeeze out bloat, I’d try to use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASN.1#Example_encoded_in_PER_%... (which has a paid standard, but isn’t well known) before resorting to a completely ad hoc protocol.
Ouch. I stopped reading 15% of the way through because I noticed that I was only 15% of the way through and I felt like it should be the end.

It seems like with a tenth of the effort of this blog rant the author could have written a flowchart or best practices.

Luckily for 99% of Python users, we only need to install libraries and not package them...

Impermissible is a legal conclusion that is not the least bit obvious.
hyperkit does not run on ARM Macs

I would probably have upgraded my i9 as soon as the M1 Pros were announced if it hadn't been my employer's property.

I had constant thermal throttling from the instant I booted the damn thing. Worst laptop I ever had.
The problem with IngressRoute is that Helm charts are mostly using Ingress. Luckily, traefik have solved this through the use of annotations, which allows me to avoid using IngressRoute entirely.
Zero work? I guess memory fades quickly sometimes.

Apple rented out DTK systems for $500 for developers to get their hands on ARM hardware and port their applications. Hardly zero work. You couldn't even keep the hardware, you had to send it back (and originally you wouldn't even get $500 in credit to buy a production system with, luckily they fixed that after the easily predictable uproar).

Google is providing software emulators instead, much easier to work with and doesn't require complicated device logistics. Not only that, but the only audience that really needs to do work to get ready, are either those producing NDK applications, or those working on hardware support for RISC-V.

Java/Kotlin applications would not need any porting. Sounds like zero work to me!
The "with autism" stuff seems to be pushed by relatives of autistic people. I doubt most autistic people would care.

Not necessarily.

Meta could just do a "private" release, knowing that the results will likely show up on the pirate bay.

It's a rectangle. They've made rectangles before.
Someone on the brink of retirement would not be 100% stocks, ideally more like 60% at most. Both of those cases were about a 50% drop peak to trough, so the loss was around 30% on paper. In the '08 case, the market recovered in about 4-5 years. Holding firm and sticking to a 60/40 allocation would've meant very little realized losses prior to it bouncing back.

For the '01 case, it's hard to find much sympathy for a stock heavy portfolio that took a 50% haircut, considering that grew 400% in the 10 years that preceded it.
Fwiw this was highly amusing to read. All of these I read in isolation and thought "no I pronounce the t there" then said in a sentance and yeah... youre dead on

The only time I got in a serious fight in high school was when I saw a kid get beaten up by bullies. I mean, I was even weaker than him and got really beaten up myself but I lander a few hits and I am still proud of myself for getting beaten up. They left that kid alone after that.

I saw someone getting bullied up at the workplace, eventually got fired. Wanted to do something but I was afraid for my own job. Lo and behold, it didn't matter how good or succesful I was at my job, the circle of shit came back around eventually to where I was on the business end of things. I got what I deserved.

I do my best to avoid people and situations in general that might end up in me witnessing this kind of shit again but I don't think I can not do anything that way again.

I don't think being averse to cowardice makes you autistic though. What's the purpose of these articles and research? Find more ways to label and box people in so they can be more easily dismissed?

"Oh, we're not a bunch of bullies and cowards, that person is just autistic or 'on the spectrum'?" Is that it? Shouldn't everyone resist the bystander effect? Isn't this research doing more harm to that effect than good?

The "business center" at my apartment complex has a 2015(?) iMac.
It is connected to a small printer/copier/scanner.
You can log in as guest,
open your email or whatever you need to do,
and log out from the guest account
and the iMac will dutifully forget about you
and be ready for the next person.

I know practically everyone has an app phone these days
but it is useful if you need something quick.

I bet a new iMac today will similarly last the next ten years
for basic kiosk tasks.
The "Pro" makes a difference there. The Air and Pro from 2015 both got Monterey, but the regular MacBook from the same year didn't.
Yeah, but that also requires disabling SIP, so you still might want to run it in a VM.
The creation of information is a divine thing, information lasts until humanity itself goes extinct. The very first concept created by our caveman ancestor we still use today. Copying is easy. Creating is hard. Even something as simple as creating an original name is really hard, let alone making entire movies and video games. I actually think intellectual property is the single best thing humanity had done, precisely because otherwise there is no movies, there is no games, why would there be. Although I agree it shouldn't last forever.

The article even gives a better example here: casually
introducing yourself to the CEO and making a joke.

[...] How am I supposed to know which authorities it's
okay to make jokes with?

Well, it's a good example.... but not in the way you or the author necessarily intend.

The answer is right there in front of you: you don't fucking know!

You -- spectrum or no spectrum -- don't know who you can joke around with until you actually know them. Humor is hard, even for comedians, and successful humor relies on some kind of rapport or shared sensibility between parties.

Walking up to a stranger, CEO or otherwise, and cracking a joke immediately is actually fairly bizarre behavior and there's a good chance the joke is going to fall flat. Also sometimes you'll get lucky and make a friend for life or something, but it's a total dice roll and it is frankly an idiot move to risk your professional standing on it. I think that's a thing you can just learn and memorize whether you're on the spectrum or not.

That said, I as a lowly engineer have successfully joked around with a lot of C-level types at large-ish companies.

More than anything else, circumstances matter. Is this a social situation? Are you interrupting them? Are you introducing yourself out of the blue and expecting them to laugh at a joke like a total weirdo? These things matter.

Assuming you're actually interacting in a social situation...

As a general rule they love to laugh and pal around like normal humans. Getting along with people and being personable is actually a pretty big asset when it comes to climbing the ladder and more often than not these people have it. If you're skilled at humor you'll know how to feel out what kind of humor they're gonna laugh at and which kinds of humor are safe. If you're not good at humor and intuiting things, just fucking know that and play it safe.
It's like buying a car. The moment your Mac walks out of the store, the ghost of Steve Jobs comes and personally curses it to 2/3 of its value that very instant.
Yeah, at this point, I’ve completely lost my main email address to spam and mailing lists; half of which seem to have broken unsubscribe pages. I’ve abandoned this email completely for personal communications and have a new email for that now. I continue to use my old email for any service or website, since I know they will likely sell my email in addition to spamming me to death.

This has all gotten completely out of control. Yet again, regulation seems to be about a decade behind.
A contrasting data point: I have an 8gb M2 and haven’t noticed any problem yet that made me wish I had more memory. I’m not using it for work, though.

I think some crawlers run JS, because a lot of the web simply won't work without JS to initialise the page state these days.

You can use captcha or similar, one workaround I've seen has a submit that is hidden so never clicked by real people then a visible submit that sets a hidden input and clicks the other one which requires the hidden input... not foolproof but avoids some accidents.
