FWIW I worked also on scientific software (phylogenetics, which is all about biological evolutionary trees) and the tree structure is like Atree (https://github.com/RuneBlaze/internode/blob/main/src/tree.rs...).

It does help (roughly ~5x vs. pointer-chasing trees, probably can be further optimized) for my workload, but at the same time quite some time was spent just making sure the tree is correct.
The interface is simple not the implementation — that’s what we are talking about here.

Going by your logic brass instruments are insanely complicated. You have to invent metallurgy.
You are not the only one who is skeptical.

Nvidia has devoted an astronomical amount of effort to supporting AI as their “next big thing”.

…and here is some information-free landing page showing perf which is an order of magnitude above what nvidia is offering.

…but no numbers. You can get called out for numbers.

A vague infographic is much safer.

When things seem to good to be true, they usually are.

I guess some custom hardware with some cherry picked metric here, but frankly the whole thing screams scam.

If it was that easy, Amazon,
Google, etc would have already done it with their proven ability to make new silicon.
I don't disagree that there was significant malleability in nomenclature, but the idea that zero-pages or 9900-style workspaces were register equivalents was in the most charitable sense was never anything but marketing, and never by anyone who honestly did the math. Even the 9900 folks pretty quickly stopped trying to convince us they had 'registers' and moved to how quickly they could change contexts and mitigate the speed asymmetries between on and off chip memory.
It is an arena-style allocator.

At least, if someone asked me to explain what an arena allocator is/does, I would say essentially what they wrote -- likely without the "disappears automatically once all references disappear" part, which is IMHO just a clever nice-to-have.

You can amortize memory loading with large continuous batching. I imagine more compute would help the problem for certain workloads like speculative decoding
CUPS is the exact opposite of modern and has many of the problems they describe in the article you commented on.
Wow, I didn't know that existed. Nice!

When I used GPGMail, I didn't mind giving them a few dollars to support it. It's nice to not have to, though.
Android uses the Linux kernel but it is not what people mean when they say “Linux”.

Speak for yourself.

In my mind, Linux is home routers, smart TVs, digital signage, tablets, smartphone, fridges, and yes, servers and workstations.
Besides the safety aspects, they'll be loud noise polluters wherever they operate.

I hope aircraft like these won't be used gratuitously (like most TV news channel helicopter flights are here). Including not for rich-people taxis.
I'd have gone with either italicizing "their" or, if not available, capitalizing.

Think of it this way... quotation marks or for either direct references or otherwise can be supplemented by preceding the word with ", so called," and make sense.

Otherwise, it's a pretty solid point you're making.
It's a pretty interesting phenomenon. There are a lot of perfectly normal English words that are usually only used in written work rather than spoken, and I often pronounce them wrong, having never heard anyone pronounce them. "Segue" is one of these words.

> it's replacing coal not because of subsidies or policy, but just because it's cheaper.

Well, it's also being heavily subsidized, but not by the US. China has been leading the way there, and for a clear geostrategic reason: they have no access to natural gas or oil, and have to trade for it. If you want a "fortress economy" that can endure sanctions like the Russians have done, this is a weakness that must be addressed, and solar isn't a bad option.

The north doesn’t use concrete based products like hardieboard? It’s better than wood siding and pretty much looks identical to wood siding. No issues with temp control, and essentially never rots besides needing a repaint every …. 10-15 years maybe. Also, I thought fiberglass windows are a reasonable alternative to vinyl windows?
I'm not diagreein with you, but one should bear in mind that a piano essentially contains 88 copies of the same mechanism (with some exceptions). That brings you from 12,000 parts to 136 parts, which is much simpler to grasp. Of course, having 88 copies creates its own challenges.

Three charts are a rant, not a study, and slim to even point anything, let alone draw any conclusion.
What if it went the other way and you got much larger die area dedicated to caches or even on-chip RAM, since that usage is relatively cheaper from a power/heat point of view? Or is the process different enough between the two that it just doesn't make sense to have them interwoven like that?

There’s this hate for Xcode that I see popping up every once in a while, often times by non-native devs.

I honestly don’t get it. I’ve tried everything under the sun and Xcode is by far my favorite IDE.

It’s intuitive, fast and is getting more and more QoL improvements that are much appreciated.

Is it annoying at times? Yeah sure, there are some running jokes between me and a bunch of other indie devs, but it’s mostly in jest.

I can’t recall the last time I ran into an actual issue that ate up my time and was a showstopper.

Perhaps it’s a matter of preference, because the no 1 suggestion by the haters, VSC, is something I personally hate.
Unintuitive as hell and yet another addition to the Electron Hall of Shame.

Doubt that. Frequency will be tied to heat dissipation. And in a 3d stack, the heat dissipation of the inner transistors is going to be very difficult

Maybe I’m missing something here, but wouldn’t heat become a bigger issue? Right now we have pretty intense cooling solutions to get heat off the surface of a comparatively thinner chip. If chips become more cubic how would we cool the inside?

You don’t need to know chemistry. Read the spec sheet for voltage and temperature limits. Observe voltage polarity, if necessary. If you need more general information on how to choose which type of capacitor, read The Art of Electronics.
I believe the second issue is that engines which work well at supersonic speeds don't work well at slower speeds and visa versa

"A typical air-breathing DMRJ propulsion system can only begin operating when the vehicle achieves supersonic speeds greater than Mach 3. In fact, since ramjet (and scramjet) engines don’t have rotating parts (compressor and turbine) as turbojet and turbofan engines, they rely on specially designed air inlets to compress the air to the pressure required for the combustion.

The efficiency, however, only gets sufficiently high when the speed reaches at least Mach 2, due to the higher temperature and pressure obtained in the combustion chamber. This is why ramjets usually need other means to reach the minimum speed for ignition, such as rocket boosters or, in the SR-71 Blackbird, dual cycle turbo-ramjet engines."

You're certainly welcome! it's just that kind of post that's not welcome.
Coins in the right conditions last two thousand years easily (I collect ancient coins, have some that are 2500 years old that are in excellent condition). I expect in the right conditions some would last a few hundred million years. There's plenty of other non-biodegradable, chemically inert, discoverable things like stainless steel tools, gold jewelry, and other artifacts that humans make that could easily persist for millions of years.
That's called clickbait.
It's a legitimate criticism. The claimed benefit of "vector processing is faster than pointer chasing" will materialise only when the most common access pattern is to read or write all node values, since in that case the accessed values are contiguous -- but that's a consequence of the data structure being a struct-of-arrays (instead of the more common array-of-structs), which is wholly independent of the pointers-or-indices question. For any of the (very common) other access patterns, like a preorder traversal, "index-chasing" needs to happen, and that will be exactly as bad as pointer-chasing would be if the entire memory block had been reserved ahead of time in the same way.

The only real advantages of indices over pointers are serialisability and ease of debugging.
Interesting to see, lots of people using modifiers like

I have DB clusters with masters with a terrabyte of ram. Going beyond that is a PITA with warming up cache, backups, and so on. There is a reason there's a huge industry for shared databases.

Also, query for query, Mongo isn't going to be that much slower than PG, and faster for some usage patterns...
It’s a beautiful question. You can reason a bit from knowing there is something instead of nothing, when nothing is clearly an option :)
https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/solar/florida-is-now-ad... (“Florida is now adding more solar power than any other state”)

> The Sunshine State connected 2,499 megawatts of solar-generation capacity to the grid during the first half of 2023, blowing away the 1,648 megawatts added by California and the 1,292 megawatts added by Texas, according to the most recent U.S. Solar Market Insight report from the Solar Energy Industries Association and energy consultancy Wood Mackenzie.

> Thanks to this year’s surge, Florida now has a total of 12,612 megawatts of solar connected to the grid. It still has a long way to go in order to catch up with Texas’ 18,801 megawatts and California’s impressive 41,675 megawatts, but it’s moving in the right direction — even in spite of a less-than-ideal policy landscape.

Your statement is incredibly handwavy. GNU userland was doomed because the programmers were not professionals? Apart from the fact that many of the programmers were actually professionals, what were the design decisions that were made, keeping in mind that much of the userland design is essentially governed by posix.

Also if I look at many of the "professional" unixes userland tools I'd choose GNU userland any day, because the userland tools are incredibly handicapped, e.g. name one Solaris (or even better hp ux) core userland tool that is better than it's GNU equivalent.
I completely agree! Kind of preaching to the choir :)
The proton gradients are quite different from combustion though…
Or if you are deploying stuff at large shops with decent devops staffing, you can use ima as part if your OS build pipeline. Basically to make sure what you tested and published from dev is the only thing that can run in prod. But is it possible to code inject with ptrace or /proc/self/mem? If someone can run code, can they ROP using existing binaries only and disable IMA verification? One thing I might try would be to drop unsigned/unauthenticated versions of a distro install somewhere and chroot, if the OS allows chroot it that easy to bypass IMA? because you can mount --bind anything into the chroot environment. So is it a defense only if you are restricted as a non-root user?

You’d see the parties change views if the electoral system were more fair. Democrats would likely become more left wing and Republican politicians more moderate, at least on the national stage. The two party system would continue.
But I think the GP's point is that heat is far easier managed when spread out over a larger area, so why all the emphasis on ultra tiny transistors vs just making a chip that's two inches by two inches or something?

And I think the main answer to that comes when you look at some of the discourse around Apple's M-series chips, that doing a larger-die design is just way riskier: there are huge implications on cost, yield, flexibility, etc, so it was really something that Apple was uniquely positioned to move aggressively on vs a player like Qualcomm who needs to be way more conservative in what they try to sell to their main customers (phone OEMs like Samsung).

Are you saying that just to be contrarian? When somebody tells you they're running Linux on the laptop, you actually think they are owning a chrome book (considering that there are likely more chrome books than laptops with other linuxes), when you read a job add which requires Linux admin knowledge, you think they mean being able to install apps on android?
For the past few months, I've spent most of my nights and weekends working on an LLM-based learning management system called Reasonote, which aims to hybridize the SRS strategies of Anki with the smoothness of Duolingo. It focuses on a curiosity driven approach, where users can aggregate "Skills" into their library as they participate in Activities. Activities can be anything -- flashcards, quizzes, games, chatrooms -- and can be dynamically generated, or manually created if you prefer.

I'll be releasing more information soon, but since this article's content seems aligned with my mission (build the Young Lady's Illustrated Primer, or something better), I wanted to give it a mention.

If you'd like to beta test, or collaborate, please send me a note directly, explaining what skills you most want to learn -- luke (at) lukebechtel.com

We’ve also found water on the moon.

And we know at least one Jupiter satellite has water.

So that’s at least 4 bodies in the solar system that have water and all the bodies where we have successfully landed more than 1 rover have or had water (earth, moon, mars).

Every body where we could have discovered water, we have discovered water. Seems like bayes theorem indicates that water is also probably highly available in the universe.

In Argentina we unofficially deprecate the coin/bill when they are worth approximately US$0.03 (don't ask how I made statistics).

Now all prices are rounded to AR$10. The AR$20 and AR$50 bills are fine, but the AR$10 bills are very old and almost destroyed. The AR$10 are still used because otherwise it's difficult to pay some values. (I've not seen a AR$5 bill in the wild since January or February.)

Soon we will round all prices to AR$50 and unofficially deprecate the AR$20 bills.
Just curious, is there a reason for your choice of NTFS? You're dealing with GRUB rather than Windows, so something like ext4 would also seem a valid choice.

There are real security issues with X. For example, there's not really much of a permissions system on the X protocol, which is why X tends to be configured to either deny everything but localhost or not listen on TCP at all by default.

When you allow a host to use your X display, you allow that host a crazy level of control over your system. IIUC you can do all kinds of nasty stuff with it, like getting info about other applications/windows and i think even arbitrary drawing on the screen (i.e over those other windows). You can also do stuff like snoop mouse movement and keyboard presses (i.e keylogger), and not just in your own application. As I understand, it's really pretty nasty and insecure to allow an untrusted remote machine to use your X server. It's not a good situation.

Weyland's solution does, admittedly, close this class of security issues very effectively - by just not being a remote protocol at all.
