Ads in commercial buildings aren't actually ads, they're just information. You walked into a store to see products so the store is merely showing you what you want to see, organized so you can find what you want. Nothing wrong with a sign showing people the name of a business on its own building either, those are actually useful, even for navigation and orientation.

Advertising is when they bombard you with noisy information while you're crossing a street or waiting for the bus. Nothing but pollution.

> We can’t make ads disappear.

We absolutely can. Make it straight up illegal and start applying some serious fines. I guarantee they will stop.
Countries with better fire records tend to have far more multi family housing than the US.

Most of our code does not exist because of any sort of scientific vetting of ideas. It's mostly just winging it and trying to ban any housing except single family detached housing.

Why are two stairs so much more important than being close to a staircase? Why is having a loooong hallway with dozens of families using the same staircase better than having immediate access to a stairway and only a handful of families using the staircase?

Nobody ever showed that two means of egress are safer, they just went by gut.
The answer to that is right in your own comment. No one wanted that cumbersome demo ware crap. It had no utility and no value other than visual bling.

The reality is people want to live their lives freely, not tied to technology. This is something Apple understood under Ive so very well until Cook drove him out. Now I expect we will see Apple's first failure with Vision as HCI will demand a less constricting interface.

AI is likely that freeing engagement paradigm, and Ive is jumping onboard there.

I'm not sure that these two things are related.

It is possible in an era of remote work to outsource any American software job to a lower paid, better skilled worker in a low cost of labour country.

Companies choose not to do this. Maybe they want people they can meet, maybe investors don't like it, maybe the paperwork scares then. I don't know the reason but every American programmer who has a job has it because thier employer chose not to hire a better cheaper foreigner with less rights.

Looking at it this way we can say that the American job market and salary expectations are not related to international salaries. And it follows that the same can be true in Europe.

My personal theory is, the world runs on dollars. America prints dollars. The closer you are to the fountain the more water you get, so Americans get more dollars.
Discussed already earlier today. Technically a recall, but for Tesla just an OTA.

I've been looking at options, and while mega seems good they also seem to happily hand over your data to authorities, which means it's not really encrypted, or might as well not be.

I do appreciate that he linked previous years' prediction at the bottom. Predictions are still too vague to be falsifiable even with hindsight, but it's a start.
Note the word relative. The land value tax has been championed by economists across the political sprectrum as a single tax to displace other taxes with. The entire movement of georgism advocates for a land value tax approaching %100.
From what I’ve seen happen in Long Beach, these high density housing developments are rarely affordable. Most new developments cater to the higher end of the market. Long Beach became much more unaffordable after the density increased.
Does this provide there any benefit at all to the majority of machines which aren't intended to be used for development of binaries (i.e. user workstations, developers working with interpreted languages, and servers), what would be the use cases where frame pointers would help on those machines?

Like, even for developers, I assume a random web development shop using Ubuntu and hosting stuff on Ubuntu would likely not ever attempt debugging a binary executable, and likely don't have any employees who could do it if they wanted. Of course there are companies who can and do debugging and profiling of binaries running on their servers, but IMHO those who are capable and willing to do that a relatively small minority of users of Ubuntu systems.

Historically, it's a major source of revenue for banks[1]. I used to use BOA, when I switched to a local credit union they at least offered me the choice of "overdraft protection," which obviously I declined.

Fortunately, overdraft fees appear to be growing less profitable[2], so hopefully banks will phase them out.

Pardon our dust: "images" is a bad name for what's being loaded. Past versions of this approach (MERF) stored feature vectors in PNG images. We replace them with binary arrays. Unfortunately, all such arrays need to be loaded before the first frame can be rendered.

You do however point out one weakness of SMERF: large payload sizes. If we can figure out how to compress them by 10x, it'll be a very different experience!

FFI was high priority for C# in the early days, when most meaningful .NET software was running on Windows and doing interop with win32. The runtime was designed to ensure that scenario would be low-overhead, and that legacy lives on in modern .NET.

The reason people follow Musk is that even though he over-promises and under-delivers; the under-delivered product is still better than the alternatives (or at least was for a while).

People are not complete fools and can learn to discount over-the-top rhetoric; sure, some people are harmed by believing everything verbatim, but those people also fall for scams, etc, etc.

His statements are parsed as statements of intent more so than actual timeline commitments. We'll have FSD in 6 months = FSD is our main priority at the moment. And sure it also makes for PR/free advertising. Is it scammy? Probably. But he likely got more out of people by pushing this false narrative than would have been otherwise accomplished.
Runs pretty well (20-100 fps depending on the scene) for me on both Firefox 120.1.1 on Android 14 (Pixel 7; smartphone preset) and Firefox 120.0.1 on Fedora 39 (R7 5800, 64 GB memory, RX 6600 XT; 1440p; desktop preset).
I think there are some lines you shouldn't cross. Like having people pre-pay a bunch of money for FSD, claiming it's going to be ready in a certain amount of time, but wildly missing that deadline and not offering to refund people's money.

And certainly there's a "pile on" element as well. Musk is, to put it mildly, a controversial character in general. It's easier to take someone you already don't like, and criticize them more harshly for other faults than you would for someone (like JFK, perhaps) that you otherwise generally like. Maybe that's not fair, but it seems pretty human-nature-y.

Another point: is there a way to make bold forecasts in order to motivate your employees, without making it feel like a promise to your customers? If so, Musk generally fails at that.
I highly recommend the book System Design Interview by Alex Xu.

Yes! This combined with a 10 fold increase in public EV chargers, using the new NACS (North American Charging Standard) that Tesla open sourced and all manufacturers agreed to implement in 2025 will be the tipping point!

At some point gas stations will lose enough revenue they will have to raise the prices, which will only accelerate the shift.
That's odd. I've had AP and FSD disable abruptly a hand full of times in the last five years on our Model 3 and Model Y. It will happily chime at me if it thinks I am looking at my phone or something, but it is just doing the blue strobe + audible chime, not completely disabling.

From my experience if FSD/AP turns off without me turning it off, it makes sounds that seem like the whole airplane is going to crash. Same with lane departure warnings.

The AI was based on ideas from https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1980-07/page/n57/m... and it was an end to end test of my WebGL code.

One of the life lessons of mine is that your UI is probably a much better direction. There is a sort of upper limit beyond which the whole graphical side of things is an absolute distraction to everyone. My gut feeling is the whole Wordle style end of things will be where a lot more future growth occurs.
> I have never been so bored with the state of tech.

First, I agree that crypto and AI are much VC nonsense. Not so much make someone else money as consume it while dominating the conversation. Maybe AI will put customer support people out of a job. Congratulations VCs, that's what you were put on the planet for. Bravo, well done.

Otherwise, maybe tech is too good.

Wearables? Apple Watch and iPhone. I'm very happy with the MacBook Air that I'm typing this on. I'm quite happy with my EVs. When I need to see a doc, I send a message on MyChart. Chat with a friend, WhatsApp. When I need to look something up chances are pretty high that there's something on Wikipedia. When I want a book, I check it out online and pick it up at the library. Or I'll buy it on Alibris or Amazon. A nice late edition copy of my college calculus book cost $5 + shipping. I can travel anywhere and have a map and be able to pay for something with my credit card. When I want a quick tutorial and drills on Kyrie Irving's moves, it's on YouTube. Chess? I can play programs that would destroy Bobby Fischer.

As for systems and infra, I'm very happy with LLVM, Linux, FreeBSD, homebrew, .... Readily available consumer systems are infinitely fast compared to what we grew up with. No Apple IIgs for me, thank you Boomer.

My complaint? No late night haunts because everyone is online.

I'll grant that what isn't there is the sense of the new. But what is there is really, really good.
Wearing PPE is miserable. The respiratory masks that reliably keep silica out of your lungs are painful. My job involves working with silica powders and I can really only handle about 20-30 minutes decked out in my bunny suit, respirator, over eye goggles, gloves and disposable sleeves before I need to take a break for air. This is in a climate controlled environment with a minimally physical set of tasks.

Having workers wear PPE is the worst, last resort form of protection. Solutions like switching to safer materials and improving ventilation work much better in practice.

Running humongous models for the price of a small car? Yes, it's absolutely affordable. It's peanuts for all except the smallest, self-bootstrapped startups. Amortized it's way less than the expenses for data scientist and developers that can actually make full use of the cards.

I'm expecting a sobering year for AI in 2024, a result fueled by marketing gimmicks, closed training data and weights, false promises, chaos in recruiting, more tech layoffs due to economy (and false hopes for AI-powered workforce replacement), demotivation in the young workforce, etc.

Another reality hit for AI implementation will be the cost of generative AI API services and environmental impact of the process of training the models.

Very interesting! I program a lot in Go, and while I have my complaints about the language, I find the CSP model to be very easy to work with.

I'd recommend adding some additional documentation about the API. You mention trying to keep dynamic allocations to a minimum (which I like to hear) but it would be handy to have documentation stating which functions allocate and how much they allocate. Actually, more documentation in general would be nice, particular relating to edge cases. In Go I know that sending to a closed channel will panic, for example. But what will your library do? Return some sort of error message? Silently drop the message? Segfault? Definitely something you want prominently documented. Especially anything that could potentially segfault should be highlighted.

Oh, and some benchmarks would be very interesting!
