> taking away the phone will solve everything (it won't).

Very true. Indeed, with my understanding of addiction one thing I fear
we'd have to endure with a step change - like a backlash where
millions of young people dump their phones, or an large scale failure
of technology, is that they wouldn't know what to do with themselves.
Plunged from a superficially meaningful digital holding-pen into an
empty real world would be insane. Positive cultural change has to
happen slowly enough.

I don't believe wealth is a factor in understanding per se. To my
eyes, the poverty of life that accompanies a smartphone lifestyle is
equally hurtful to rich and poor alike.
The catastrophe is humanity going extinct from superintelligent AI. Like a native species going extinct after an invasive species arrives. Mentioning Terminator is like saying the Earth is flat because Hitler said it is round.
But “I” will only ever occur to the left of a “V” or an “X”, never before a “D“. If “I” could occur to the left of a “D“, “MID” would mean 1499, but the proper way to write 1499 is “MCDXCIX”.
> iCE40 is a $6 surface mount chip, which means I'm comparing it against all other $1 to $20 chips within my capability to put into OSHPark's 6-layer PCB-layout service.

If you are a hobby EE (and works as a software engineer for your day job), $6 is negligible. Some of the higher end RF chips cost 3 figures per chip. Cost of BOM only truly matters at scale.

> We’re also launching a feature to return the log probabilities for the most likely output tokens generated by GPT-4 Turbo and GPT-3.5 Turbo in the next few weeks, which will be useful for building features such as autocomplete in a search experience.

This is very surprising to me. Are they not worried about people not just training on GPT-4 outputs to steal the model capabilities, but doing full blown logit knowledge-distillation? (Which is the reason everyone assumed that they disabled logit access in the first place.)

I think engineers and users alike would love to see more bug--only
releases of MacOS and iOS. People still talk about how wonderful Snow
Leopard was simply because it was a bug-fix only (mostly?) release.

Apple's dot zero OSX releases have always been pretty bad, so yes Snow Leopard and the last iteration of Tiger look great by comparison. As an outsider I don't have fond memories of filing bugs with Apple in that era. The general opacity combined with corporate disinterest discouraged me to the point where it's been years since I've even thought about filing a bug.

I dread new iOS releases. Sure there are usually unwanted changes (e.g. text selection in iOS 13), but the bugs... iOS 16 completely trashed whatever database Siri uses to map text to speech, so using Siri to play a song is usually a miss. Most recently it's decided the name Ben is really the name "Mouse Face". That's left a fair bit of egg on my face as I interact with those two people in two very different contexts. Sure, I could file a bug, but it's just easier to stop using Siri (which was never great in the first place).

With Tiger I was trying to integrate LDAP (AD masquerading as OpenDirectory), and it turned out that OSX would just assign GID 0 to any LDAP backed user. To me that seems pretty fucking straightforward, obviously pretty severe. That bug report went nowhere (not even an acknowledgement) and if memory serves Leopard went out with the same issue.

I also had a polycarbonate MacBook for personal use around the same time. I ended up filling out the RAM slots and discovered that after a certain amount of uptime that playing DVDs would eventually cause a kernel panic. That bug report actually did get a response, but only one. I think the computer itself died before that got fixed.

As someone who went on to dick around with CalDAV and CardDAV, there were plenty of issues to be filed but it was never really worth the effort. But as with everything else, as bad as Apple is they're usually better than the competition. That's how I ended up replacing my recently deceased Intel MBP with a new ARM one.

So long as market share holds I don't think Apple's got much incentive to reform. Although given that Tim Apple seems hell bent on pulling a Gil Amelio (my new MacBook SuperproairMax 15.323456" with the all new M-Centris really truly pro max upper bound superlative CPU sure looks great on the shelf) who knows how much longer that'll hold.
ARM in the datacentre was somewhat of a hot topic for a while before Apple released their laptop CPUs; Amazon launched the first Gravitron to GA in 2018. Ampere launched publicly available ARM server CPUs in 2020, around the same time as Apple. Alibaba Cloud launched their instances based on their own CPU in 2021, as did Oracle (based on Ampere's CPUs).

Given the years of engineering effort involved in getting any of these projects to release, this definitely looks like an industry shift, not something driven by Apple.

Perhaps Intel's thinking here is that competition with ARM will drive innovation and cost-downs in that space, which will bleed 'up' and make their own competition's (mostly ARM) products even more competitive.
he probably doesn't want to delve into it because it's not relevant the his point or a private matter.

This was the first thing I noticed, too. Why TypeScript? Is it: a) efficient enough, esp. compared to a Bash/Zsh/PWSH alternative, that spawning a JS interpreter for each autocomplete is no biggie? Is b) TypeScript just much more efficient than I thought? Or c) is TypeScript Microsoft's hammer, and everything looks like a nail?

I think clicking "Not interested" button is optional. You can just straight up block the content, and adblock any "You might also like".

QuickNode Add On: RPC Request Load Balancer
Not only did I program with cards (Assembler) in 1970, but my employer managed a master file of 40,000 cards, sorted by account number. Every day we posted updates by matching transaction files to the master, and selecting out cards that corresponded to updates. In the second pass of the day, we merged new and updated cards into the master file. Two hours per run.

1,000 cards/minute is an infernal racket. Imagine a picker knife slamming 17 cards/second by the edges. It would jam occasionally, and we had to meticulously reconstitute the torn card on the keypunch.
Why? Is it a visual thing, or practical?
It looks like it's basically whisper-2 with extra training against datasets for specific languages that brought incidental improvements to the rest. Support for some of the languages is still really bad (from real-world experience).
Yes, VGA is really not very useful nowadays, but I think it is still a useful (student) project for FPGA beginners that is relatively easy to implement, more exciting than blinking an LED and can be built on for other things.

The downside of SPI (and to some degree 8080) screens is the low refresh rate / missing vsync. There are also screens with an RGB interface, which is then again similar to VGA but digital. But yes, this does not really require an FPGA and an ARM controller with RGB interface is probably much more useful for most applications. (Or even MIPI-DSI, but I have not used it myself so far.)

Still, I have a TFP410 lying around that I wanted to strap to my FPGA at some point to get something better than VGA.

> Still, the timing idea is overall correct as an FPGA-superpower.

And while this is especially true on FPGAs with dedicated hardware like a serdes or gearbox, one can still squeeze out a bit more on most FPGAs with DDR IO or several phase-shifted clocks.
IMO it's optimistic to assume Apple can fix this
You're absolutely right, it is not portable to other operating systems. I have written about this portability and system call stability here on HN a few times, at some point I decided to compile all the information into a post on my website.

I started lone (and previously a liblinux library) in order to make applications directly targeting the Linux system call binary interface. I chose Linux precisely because it's the only one with a stable interface.

I currently have no plans to make lone a portable programming language.
Are you sure the PDP-11 has virtual memory in later model?

They improved memory space because QBUS went from 64K (16 bits) to 256K (18 bits) to 4M (22 bits) but always usable only within a 64K window.

But I don't think it has way to resume instruction execution when encountering a memory trap.

You must be thinking of the VAX-11 where virtual memory was an explicit goal in its architecture (hence its name).

Speaking more generally, there's always room for multiple players, especially in specific niches.

FortNine on HN!

I love it when two different aspects of my life collide!

For the HNers who don't know much about motorcycles, in the motorcycling world there's a big argument whether ABS is a net good or not. The old-timers tend to say "learn to ride your bike, you can beat ABS." Manufacturers site statistics saying ABS saves lives. This video is good in that it shows old-timer braking + ABS gives the best of both worlds. Somewhat paradoxically, in the world of motorcycles, even with ABS, just slamming on the brakes isn't the best strategy for emergency stopping. You'll stop faster with two-phase braking. That's why it's critical motorcycle riders practice emergency braking. You have to practice it enough to make it muscle memory.
Web components solve encapsulation of structure, style, and behaviour within a single component, but they don't solve the larger state problems, because web components don't come with any sort of state management beyond what you can do with normal Javascript.

React does provide components, but there's not so much different in React components than any other component system. The main reason to use React is the state management it provides on top of those components, making sure that state is in sync across the whole application.

In my experience, the hard part of larger applications is that handling of application state. Rendering data can be done in umpteen different ways, and they're all pretty much good enough, but handling application state in such a way that every component remains in sync with all other components is hard.

POSIX threads are far more battle-proven than any threading API in Rust. All of the underlying multi-threading on the system you made your comment from is using pthreads. It works fine in reality, despite all the pearl clutching.

You make a valid point and have changed my mind. Investigative journalists do do that. I guess I don't really see Krebs as a journalist so it feels "wrong" to me, but when you put it that way, if it was Anderson Cooper on live TV showing this proof it wouldn't feel "wrong".
... is what people who don't understand positioning will parrot time and time again.

Jasper isn't having a good time, but you'd think the fact anyone can produce better output than they did after spending millions of dollars in GPT-3 based pipelines for $20 a month would mean they're dead dead.

But instead they went and changed their positioning, changed who their target market is, adjusted the UX, the messaging, and the feature set, and now it's a product that has a place even if OpenAI can give all of your marketers an internal ChatGPT (unless your plan is to have 100 different "GPTs" for every marketing task in your company)

tl;dr: People fail to realize that OpenAI can offer your startup's core value proposition tomorrow morning, and it doesn't matter if they don't offer it in a format that resonates with your target users.

The VGA days were the times where a computer user could kill a CRT screen because the analog data stream wasn't what the monitor supported or expected. I don't miss those days!

Plugging a monitor nowadays will always work. Of course, buying a new monitor only to have it fall back to a lower-quality compatible mode is unacceptable, but that's what happens in today's world. Monitors are more varied than ever. A 1080p60 monitor will work everywhere, and all monitors will accept such a signal. But we all love fancy toys.
