Good. Wealthy parents in particular shouldn't use daycare (much) because it's harmful to their childrens' later life. They can afford to take a few years off work. It's sad how so many people see daycare as a perfectly valid way to avoid the inconvenience of raising a child. Some parents just shove their kid into daycare too young when they're not emotionally ready. Here are replicated studies from Canada showing that negative effects like criminality and not pursuing higher education persist to at least the end of teenage years. https://ifstudies.org/blog/measuring-the-long-term-effects-o...

Sorry, i phrased that poorly, i was referencing my own comment, not because i thought you had ignored it but because i had just replied to the other comment.

It probably shouldn't have reference the other reply.

> Not sure, but performance comes after making sure you have enough VRAM to run your workload in the first place. I doubt an ASi chip would beat most datacenter-class training cards, but if a consumer just wants to train a model locally without much regard for getting the best possible performance, there is more value-for-money.

That mostly makes sense.

Though personally,if i'm dropping car money on hardware to run a model then i'd really want to know the type of difference in power, are we talking about the ASi taking twice as long or are we talking orders of magnitude?

Not a question for you specifically, just a thought.

I'll see if i can find any benchmarks for the differences in compute.

Thanks

A Boeing airliner is designed for 62,000 flying hours. After that, the airframe will no longer be reliable. Fatigue damage is pretty hard to detect. Also, corrosion creeps in.

For comparison, a car's life expectancy is maybe 3,000 hours or so. Airframe quality is way, way higher than car quality.
In my experience, unless you have a strong need for something like dynamic color temperature control over your light bulbs/fixtures, it's more practical and economical over time to use a "smart" light switch, rather than a "smart" light bulb.

The smart bulbs may have appeal for people that are unable or not allowed to modify their light switches.

By keeping the "smarts" at the switch level, you have a lot more choice in what bulbs you use (e.g. along color temperature, color rendition, light output, power consumption/efficiency, etc) versus the smart bulb.

The Lutron Caseta series of lighting products are basically the gold standard for being "fail normal" functional without network connectivity to the system control bridge, and the system also uses different RF frequencies than 2.4GHz Wifi based "smart" switches, so it doesn't rely on or potentially create congestion issues on your home Wifi network(s).

Re Intel support: That's definitely in our plans. However, there are also many other areas that we are actively working on to add more features, fix bugs and improve performance. When prioritizing we typically make decisions based on what our current and potential users might need in the language. Frankly, we are not seeing a big push for Intel GPU support so far. So, currently it is not near the top of our priorities. If you (or other readers) have any input on that matter where lack of Intel support might be a blocker for testing Chapel and/or its GPU support out, definitely let us know.

Re implicit serialization: To clarify; the serialization based on order-dependence is not implicit. The users should use `for` loop if their loop is order-dependent and `foreach` (and `forall`) if their loop is order-independent. In other words, the Chapel compiler doesn't make decisions about order-dependence. In particular for GPU execution: a `for` loop will never turn into a GPU kernel.

There are however some cases where a `foreach` does not turn into a kernel. You may be referring to those cases, but that's not related to order-dependence. Some Chapel features cannot execute on GPU. If your `foreach` loop's body uses any of those features then it will not be launched as a kernel even though `foreach` signals order-independence. Now, a subset of such features that makes an order-independent loop GPU-ineligible are there because we haven't gotten a chance to properly address them, yet. Another subset of such features will remain thwarters for a longer time and maybe forever. For example, your `foreach` loop could be calling an extern host function.
A dozen years ago, I designed and architected a "smart lock", back when that was a thing. Anyway... one of the most important features that we didn't advertise was the ability to use it without registering with the Internet service. It could be used entirely in offline mode. In fact, in most cases, you could use this device without it ever connecting to the Internet.

I think that consumers should have a choice, and they should only need to connect to additional services or a subscription model if there are useful reasons to do so. Most consumers simply do not need their "smart lock" to phone home. If you wanted to do more interesting things, like issue temporary keys to run an Airbnb, then sure, it makes financial sense to pay a small subscription fee. But, most folks just want a little convenience.

Of course, it helps that I'm generally distrusting of businesses and of how behaviors will change after my departure. If you want your products to be ethical, the ethics must be built in from the beginning.

Hahah, I can see you now furiously searching for 'wtfhappenedin1971 debunked.' Of course there is no debunking it as the site's just a collection of data, primarily from the US government. The data just happens to be quite inconvenient for pro inflation economic arguments.

I actually used to be of the same mindset as yourself, but it increasingly seems to me that the general preference for inflation based economics is much more of a status quo bias than something as strongly supported by data as one would think. There's also a simple logical problem you run into. When you give government the power to freely print infinite money, who do you think they're going to disproportionately direct that money towards?

Recent times actually provide one of the clear illustrations of the problem. Mega corporations take on multi billion dollar contracts from the government at way beyond market rate markups, then the moment the economic weather shifts even slightly they start large layoffs. The reason is not because the integrity of the company is threatened or anything of the sort, but simply to continue maximizing value for shareholders. It's not hard to see how with monopoly money economics you start an exponential increase in many things, like income inequality.
You don't need to do any marketing when you're a government-protected monopoly and customers have a choice between having phone service with you, or no phone service at all.

I think a lot of what Israel has done is hard to defend, but it is all very much unlike what Russia has done. An organized military organization didn't invade Russia from Ukraine and kill hundreds upon hundreds of civilians, face to face, and then return to Ukraine vowing to repeat the attack. That did in fact happen to Israel.

If the alternative in this artificial dichotomy would be spending more than 40 hours per week to get my salary, I'll take the "WFH and do nothing" option that you're positing. Why on earth would I do extra work for free?

However, that's not how this actually works. WFH and in-office and hybrid can all be do-nothing jobs or getting-stuff-done jobs. Depends on the coworkers, on management ability to set direction, and on the industry and product. They can all also be a waste of time or worth the time, again depending on what the company does.

> EVERYTHING MUST FAIL NORMAL.

I'm often surprised how little discussion I see of failure analysis and especially failure design is in software engineering. It is one of the most important concepts in engineering, but I guess we still operate like software can't kill you.

For those unfamiliar with this type of analysis I'll give you 3 examples. 1) Imagine you are building skyscrapers in city with a bunch of other skyscrapers. You don't expect them to fall but you question what happens if they do. You will explicitly design them to fall in on themselves (say after... idk... a plane hits them?) so that they do not fall on their side and take out other buildings around them. An important aspect of security design is explicitly around this whole idea. When your systems fail do you want them to "fail open" or "fail closed"? 2) Fail open would be like TSA, where if you start firing off rounds in the queue the system fails and you get "access" to the rest of the airport. 3) Failing closed is typical of safes, where you accept the fact that you will need to take a blowtorch and drill into the safe. (the TSA thing did happen, just not in America)

While these examples are a bit extreme the ideas are incredibly important for many products. I'll give a good example of this by looking at Android Auto. If a user gets frustrated with the system and is not able to accomplish their task in the way __they want to__, they will disconnect their phone, look down at it, do the thing, and reconnect. No matter how much you want to push voice operations, if the person doesn't like that, they fail over to a more dangerous set of actions than if you had just let them use the console a little longer or let them do a specific task. At least their eyes would be closer towards the road. I'm often amazed that there are lack of consideration for these type of things in home and auto platforms where there are often high stakes. How things fail is one of the most important things when designing systems (I'd argue it even matters for things like law and medicine).

We need solutions, likely a mix of them, because they all come with challenges:

1) Transmission takes time and $$$ to build (especially to get the land). Maintenance ain't cheap either. Longer transmission == greater losses.

2) CSP requires a specialized site and equipment, with limited generation/storage and greater losses

3) EVs as batteries to back up the grid externalizes battery wear to car owners. To compensate owners would probably cost more than just building dedicated battery back up on the grid (which would be much more reliable). This idea has never made sense to me.

4) Wind is a great resource, but also variable. There will be times when the wind doesn't blow at night.

A few nights ago, I spent 30 minutes standing outside of a rental because the August app wouldn’t connect to my AirBnB account. Eventually the host woke up and sent a backup code for the keypad (with the help of phone support—do they have a pager system?).

The incremental backup would be just the WAL segments excluding the base backup.

With this new feature, the WAL segments you need to store are much, much smaller.

Software is plenty tinkerable now, especially with so much of it being open source. Though applications rarely are, I don't know if that was all that different back then either for most people.

edit:
I think I misunderstood your last paragraph to mean we'll need to keep low level skills available so we don't lose the knowledge. I think you actually meant that we don't currently understand what the next generation will need to know to be effective which is a fair point, though have we ever known what skills the future requires?

/edit

There are still companies producing lower level engineering work, and the world still needs it. If academia and industry can't maintain the skills needed, bigger corporations will be able to run their own internal programs in collaboration with universities to produce the talent and those people would be paid handsomely.

With open source operating systems out there I also see it as being a recorded knowledge. Something that can be re-learned from, what will one day be referred to as, Ancient Codebases.
I have a few of these boards. I've been tweaking a recognizer for a tiny conlang to run on one.

Turning PowerShell into a Lua Engine
While layoffs are detrimental to employee morale (e.g. employees take less long-term risk), I wonder how much worse the effects of layoffs are in the creative industry.

You might be able to replace employees in a more utility-driven company. But creative people are not exactly interchangeable, as creative ideas tend to bounce better among employees who have "chemistry." These collective of creatives end up sharing tribal knowledge of producing creative outputs with a given expectation or taste. If you fire them, it will be difficult to replicate or enhance the creativity (by whatever metric we can try to measure it with).

Japanese film director Akira Kurosawa once lamented the dissolution of the studio system, which turned the industry into a loose gathering on freelancers. He believed it would be antithetical to creativity, which he sees to happen tribally.

A famous counter-example to layoffs in the creative industry is Nintendo. Former CEO Satoru Iwata opposed layoffs as a way to weather financial downturns, as layoffs would discourage employees from committing to their work in the long-term. Instead, Nintendo tries to guarantee stable employment with their sizable financial reserves, albeit not paying a high salary.

Animation studios were able to garner a sense of "expectation" and establish a brand (e.g. Pixar especially with their first 11 features) because of the "regulars" who worked on their releases. Layoffs would change the collaborative chemistry among employees, and can make it difficult to establish or maintain a brand.
