Fun! I’m always on the lookout for a new scripting language. I hate Bash, and Python just isn’t my style, even though it’s currently my default. Something like Kotlin would be my dream, but that’s still pretty hard to use for quick scripts. Going to look closely at this.
Fundamentally ANNs are nonlinear, and there's also the temperature setting which can make things ever more surprising. It's not an average that they produce, but they do interpolate.

What they are not is recursive so everything is feedforward control. That means humans will learn to predict prompt outputs so in principle this should lead to people having much more creative conversations with each other.

Don't listen to the internet...

The defense isn't "we had no idea about anything" it is "here is the mountain of evidence that we had that shows everything was fine".

In this case those above likely have similar evidence to the regulators. Passing tests.
I think it has got something to do with how easy it is to render Switch games. Steam Deck that uses AMD GPUs have to contend with rendering a much wider array of games, and they don’t have as much control of games as Nintendo does.
Seems like with cables this powerful, it might make sense for some devices to simply run their logic on the cable CPU, instead of coming with their own.
To be fair, you don't have to use those features. Stick to the commodities like EC2, S3, and maybe managed databases. You might however notice that you're being ripped off and a crater is forming in your bank account.

Those specialized services are often about trading-off vendor-lock-in in exchange for cost-savings. Sometimes these savings are real but more often they're just perceived due to the disparate billing models (some services bill per the hour, some per-request, some per-GB of traffic, etc) so it makes it hard to estimate or understand what exactly you're paying for and which areas can be optimized.

At the end of the day there is no such thing as a free lunch. AWS' margins must come from somewhere, and they would not be offering a product at a loss.

a universal turing machine is a particular machine which can simulate all other turing machines. the gpac, by contrast, is a family of machines: all machines built out of such-and-such a set of parts

you can't simulate an 11-integrator general-purpose analog computer or other differential analyzer with a 10-integrator differential analyzer, and you can't simulate a differential analyzer with 0.1% error on a (more typical) differential analyzer with 1% error, unless it's 100× as large (assuming the error is gaussian)

the ongoing research in the area is of course very interesting but a lot of it relies on an abstraction of the actual differential-analyzer problem in which precision is infinite and error is zero
The elegance of CGI was in generically plumbing HTTP requests through to the standard unix environment whilst facilitating arbitrary server metadata. The reason it fell out of fashion was partly the objective limitations of speed, security, and no standard method of debugging, but probably also largely because of a generational shift toward interpreted languages written by new developers largely based on and used to non-unix style systems who quite pragmatically saw the server environment as a black box and were consequently motivated to use simpler and more standard environments such as that provided by php and its extensions in lieu of tediously manually configuring every server path in every script via telnet (and later ssh). Their ISPs and web hosts, aware of the security challenges of granting unix shells to inexperienced users, encouraged this and consequently embraced tooling such as cPanel to reduce the support load for their staff and spin up users faster.

Having cPanel-style user instantiation and management functions then became more and more critical as IP addresses ran out and virtual hosting took hold - the amount of manual config tweaking otherwise required (vhost, database, filesystem, (s)ftp access, etc.) exceeded a rational human workload for medium sized service providers, especially those with large numbers of users spread across an array of non-uniform infrastructure.

By the time the 'cloud' arrived, this stuff at typical ISPs and web hosts had become a mish-mash of band-aids so advanced that in hindsight we might well wonder why it took so damn long for the paradigm to shift.

Schools and teachers have ways to make sure improvements don't happen. These include - same pay regardless of performance, not hiring or firing based on performance, and teachers don't want to learn or do anything differently, especially if it's even slightly harder than what they already do. They're not really professionals that improve or have any career growth besides management and accumulating number of years experience. Schools don't care either, nor do governments bother to incentivize them to care.

Except in, say, China, where none of that applies and education works great.

> ML/DS always seemed to me closer to science in its nature vs software engineering. Can be because of its nature as well - in a lot of cases it's a process of incremental improvements

Right, i have felt this way too (even though i am just a noob at ML/DS). For me it is the use of Statistics/Probability/Mathematics in driving understanding/intuition about the problem.
In the live or 24h view it can show the utilization of individual cross-border connections but even that disappears when you select a longer timescale.

My feedback/suggestions based on this summary: call it Kubernetes, and make it clearer how it is different from existing tools.
I would like a super lightweight host process for interpreters that is similar to php-fpm and Erlang but can have shared state for database connections but the main interpreter is not a separate process but simply a function call.

Serverless and WASM runtimes are similar and Firecracker are in this space.

It would have to be multithreaded, it could communicate with nginx via domain socket as php-fpm does. I don't know if there's a way to multiplex data over a domain socket, maybe you could use multiple domain sockets and load balance between them? Or custom framing.

Does head of line blocking come into this too?
You don't have perfect recollection one day and then no recollection whatsoever the next day. Memories become vague as they deteriorate.

For example, you may remember something you learned in 4th grade, but you probably don't remember exactly how the teacher explained it or what questions about it were on the test.
That's what I've heard from friends in the area. The downtown is dead and full of Scientologists, so people don't go there much anymore, so shops close and they buy them. Rinse and repeat.
The arithmetic circuits alone, like adders, multipliers etc., regardless if they are mechanical or electronic, analog or digital, should not be called computers.

When the arithmetic circuits, i.e. the "central arithmetical part", as called by von Neumann, are coupled with a "central control part", as called by von Neumann, i.e. with a sequencer that is connected in a feedback loop with the arithmetic part, so that the computation results can modify the sequence of computations, then this device must be named as a "computer", regardless whether the computations are done with analog circuits or with digital circuits.

What defines a computer (according to the definition already given by von Neumann, which is the right definition in my opinion) is closing the feedback loop between the arithmetic part and the control part, which raises the order of the system in comparison with a simple finite state automaton, not how those parts are implemented.

The control part must be discrete, i.e. digital, but the arithmetic part can be completely analog. Closing the feedback loop, i.e. the conditional jumps executed by the control part, can be done with analog comparators that provide the predicates tested by the conditional jumps. The state of an analog arithmetic part uses capacitors, inductors or analog integrators, instead of digital registers.

Several decades ago, I had to debug an analog computer during its installation process, before functioning for the first time. That was in a metallurgic plant, and the analog computer provided outputs that controlled the torques of a group of multi-megawatt DC electric motors. The formulae used in the analog computations were very complex, with a large number of adders, multipliers, integrators, square root circuits and so on, which combined inputs from many sensors.

That analog computer (made with op amps) performed a sequence of computations much more complex than the algorithms that were executed on an Intel 8080, which controlled various on-off execution elements of the system, like relays and hydraulic valves and the induction motors that powered some pumps.

The main reason why such analog computers have become obsolete is the difficulty of ensuring that the accuracy of their computations will not change due to aging and due to temperature variations. Making analog computers that are insensitive to aging and temperature raises their cost much above modern digital microcontrollers.
> You can't have an API that BOTH offers generous quotas AND ALSO a wide-open and flexible general-purpose SQL query API.

But that's not what's being proposed here. What's being proposed is a query language that users can write that compiles to SQL. We don't need all of the power of SQL, all of the functions of SQL. We can wrap the query the user provided in some extra checks to limit what they can see. This is orders of magnitude simpler to implement with a simple compiler than all of the security engineering you've proposed.

> failed to achieve its aim with Falcon?

Yes, actually. But we aren't resting on our (very profitable) laurels. Development of Falcon slowed so attention could pivot to the new generation of even more reusable vehicles. Development on Merlin started around 2005, the first F9 was built in 2010, and first landing was in 2015. Raptor engine testing began around that time, and starship hopped in 2020. These things take time, but in truth we're right on schedule.
Statement on Human Resources allegations
This is the double-edged sword of deciding to widen (or narrow) the meaning of a term which already has a conventional meaning.

By doing so, you get to make a point—perhaps via analogy, perhaps via precision, perhaps via pedantry—which is illuminating for you but now confusing for your reader. And to explain yourself, you must swim upstream and redefine a term while simultaneously making a different point altogether.

Much has been written about jargon, but a primary benefit of jargon is the chance to create a domain-specific meaning without the baggage of dictionary-correct associations. It’s also why geeks can be bores at dinner parties.

We live in a society (of letters.) Communication is not pairwise in a vacuum; all communication is in context of the cultural zeitgeist in which it occurs, and by intentionally choosing to use a non-zeitgeist-central definition of a term, you are wasting the time of anyone who talks to you.

By analogy to HCI: words are affordances. Affordances exist because of familiarity. Don’t make a doorknob that you push on, and expect people not to write in telling you to use a door-bar on that door instead.
sometimes it's really astonishing to see that, children grow up day by day then quikly understond the logic which hard to them before.
I agree that dropping into the basic interpreter was amazing on the old 8 bit computers. Things have really changed recently with the popularity of Retro computing as I wrote about the exact same thing around 10-15 years ago (I can't find the post unfortunately) and I was downvoted a lot as almost all the commenters seemed to think that accessing DevTools in Google Chrome and entering Javascript commands was that same thing as the interactive Basic mode of a Commodore 64 in my case. Oh, how times have changed for the better now :)
How do you use these intrinsics on an APU? https://llvm.org/docs/AMDGPUUsage.html ?
This just isn't how the verb "to know" and the noun "knowledge" are commonly used and understood. By your understanding, it is impossible to know anything about the future. Yet, I know my wife will come home in a few hours. Very few people would object to such usage and people would stand by me and agree how unexpected it was if she failed to return. That our knowledge is imperfect surprises few people in everyday usage.
I would say you can learn general problem solving. There are strategies that help with that an IQ helps with finding patterns.

That said it still would be junior level problem solving in unknown domain. Expert will always run circles around newcomers.

I most likely could switch fields but I don’t want to spend 5 years getting experience. Even if I have decent generic solving skills it might take me less time but still- I would have to be really interested in the topic.
This is due to a stylistic choice that Nintendo makes - they don’t care about photorealism at all as a design goal.

Almost every other game is measured by the yardstick of how “realistic” the games artwork looks when playing, which means those types of games are forever craving more resources and graphics compute as it becomes available.

Nintendo uses bright colours, cartoon-like designs and sparse environments that require an order of magnitude less compute per frame but still look great. You can see this on a Switch if you play a game of Mario Kart 8 or Splatoon 3 then immediately launch a multi-platform game like Fortnite or Apex Legends that isn’t designing for limited resources. The difference is completely night and day.

As it happens, both of the latest Zelda games are IMHO the most beautiful open worlds created on any platform - likely because not focusing on photorealism allows for more freedom with the artwork itself.
You can't be a better software engineer before being a better programmer.
Yeah, it rants in a distinctly technological babble
You are not wrong, yet you are. All of these things are doing computation in a vague, creative sense — sure. But if we call everything that does this or its equivalent a computer we would have to find new words for the thing we mean to be a computer currently.

Unilaterally changing language is not forbidden, but if The Culture Wars™ has thought us anything, it is that people are allergic to talking about what they see as mandated changes to their language, even if it is reasonable and you can explain it.

Colour me stoked, but you could still just do it unilaterally and wait till somebody notices.

However my caveat with viewing everything as computation is that you fall into the same trap as people in the ~1850s did when they wanted to describe everything in the world using complex mechanical devices, because that was the bleeding edge back then. Not everything is an intricate system of pulleys and levers it turned out, even if theoretically you could mimic everything if that system was just complex enough.

Sure, you cannot easily simulate another analog computer, but this is not the requirement. The requirement is turing completeness, which can be done.

Well that’s just plain revisionist history.

Name another example. The flu vaccine, maybe? But that’s because they don’t know which strains to target.

Both the CDC director at the time and Biden said the vaccine would prevent you from getting COVID.

It’s insane we’re changing the definition of words because the COVID vaccines were kinda crappy and that would be bad politically.

Not that the vaccine discussed here shouldn’t be called one - it absolutely is.
> People often don't read the manual. Nor should they have to.

That's some kind of logic right there. If people don't read the manual, they have every right to expect that things will break. It's not surprising or shocking, it's just user error.

> we can simplify that advice to "don't write shell scripts".

No, we cannot simplify it like that. Shell scripts are a brilliant tool for a certain kind of problem, and they work well when used for that class of problem. When used for anything else, they work poorly. Same applies for literally any other tool. It's like saying "essentially nobody is good with a CNC machine so don't use it"

I think you have confused several ideas. "Creativity" does not describe a single activity or attribute that we can measure and compare. Asking how Les Paul compares to Leo Fender merely invites differences of opinion. Asking how Les Paul compares to a programmers ("nothing 1/10th" as you put it) just displays a profound ignorance, or trolling, hard to tell those apart sometimes.

No one writes code for others to read "for leisure," or to try to outdo Les Paul. You should try to understand the thing you intend to criticize, so as to leave less doubt about your ignorance.

Since you mention Zelda, I have to add that Zelda at this point plays better (higher res and frame rate) on emulators than on the platform it was made for because of its hardware limitations.
In the era of AI, naming variables can and should be automated. Without good names, the code is very hard to read, and code should be, before anything else, readable.
