I don't think the original paper by Knuth (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/356635.356640) supports this interpretation. In the paper, Knuth describes how as one develops as a programmer one learns how to write in a style that is generally reasonably efficient. In particular, you should take note of hot loops, which are often quite obvious, and then write in the most readable style outside of the hot loops without too much thought about efficiency. By accepting some inefficiency, but writing in a generally efficient style, you can move much more quickly than if you are constantly bogged down in the details trying to squeeze out every possible cpu cycle.

What people tend to miss in my view is that he is advocating writing in an efficient style, which may not be obvious to an inexperienced developer. For example, writing a linear algebra routine in which you traverse column wise in an inner loop when the data is laid out row wise is going to be very slow and a simple change of algorithm or restructuring of the data can lead to an enormous speed up. This should be done immediately if discovered. But a skilled programmer will also be unlikely to traverse in the wrong order anyway because they already know the data layout and have thought about the order of traversal as part of their thinking process. In other words, the "optimization" of traversing in the fast way is something they would just do naturally and has no influence on the development time.

Conversely, they may also suspect that with some clever bit-twiddling hacks, they may be able to squeeze another 5-10% performance out of the routine. Unless you know that the code is being distributed at scale, this is almost certainly a waste of time. It will be hard to write as well as brittle and error prone. It deflects your attention from more important problems. It is evil both because of the opportunity cost of chasing these small efficiencies as well as the increased complexity that they often introduce for minimal gain.

Ha, nonsense. VMware products are notoriously super expensive. From discussions with people at organisation switching to alternatives, their cost are going down 30-50%, with all the added benefits of a proper modern orchestrator instead of an obsolete hardware simulator. (Stuff like having a way of securely introducing secrets or security authenticating workloads, or integrated deployments, healthchecks, etc.)

Also, "bundled" stuff constraints you. You're forced into using VMware's crap orchestrator or log management tool because it's the one that works best with the mess that is other VMware products.

Yes exactly. Kill off the free alternative since nobody else can afford licenses with big rights holders. Google will love this. Creators will get pennies. Everyone has to go through proprietary apis, OS will be outlawed. Not something I would want to see!
I remember the Modula-2 crowd being rather bitter that the advent of C++ sunk M-2. One of the M-2 compiler guys ruefully said to me "I backed the wrong horse." (Zortech C++ had taken the PC market by storm then.) The success of ZTC++ is why Borland changed direction from Pascal to C++. I heard rumors that Microsoft had been internally developing its own OOP language, but abandoned it and switched to C++ also after the success of ZTC++.

Moving to newer CPUs doesn't fix thermal limitations on old models. There are still entire generations of Apple laptops with chassis that were poorly matched to their CPU.

Plus... Intel chips are wattage-configurable. If Apple chose to run their CPUs at a TDP beyond what the Macbook could dissipate, isn't that a software issue? There are a lot of ultrabook CPUs that have ACPI tables tuned to lower temperatures, even the insufferable 14nm Intel ones.

World of Warcraft (WoW) stands as a massively multiplayer online role-playing game that invites players to embark on an exploration of the expansive realm of Azeroth.

Within this virtual world, participants assume the role of a hero, engaging in battles against monsters, navigating through dungeons, and defending Azeroth.

Players have the option to align themselves with either the Horde or the Alliance, forming alliances with fellow players to undertake quests and raids.
The only way I can see this being a problem is if the virtual threads can't be stolen from their (now pinned) carrier thread. Because otherwise that's all true of real threads too, blocking them is the whole point of Object.wait.

If there's no work-stealing from pinned carriers (or they're low-finite and normal threads are effectively infinite): yes that'd be a HUGE issue. I would be shocked if they released anything with that limitation though, that would violate some of the core expectations of mutexes and threads - independent ones need to make progress or nearly all patterns can't guarantee progress.
It's just a prompt to say using thick pen line art cartoon of a something something. Midjourney kind of sucks though in this cartoon style for most things unless it's a one off. Last I tried I couldn't make a 'comic' per se as the context and style would be off panel to panel. I paint and draw a lot for fun and love to play with these as ways to see ideas before expanding on the time to make them. I'd gladly pay as an artist a very small fee to use something that is worth a damn to experiment with. I hate the thought though that people are creating final imagery with AI created painting/imagery without a thought of what it took to create it.

It's a socially acceptable break from your work that doesn't guarantee losing money. If you find yourself getting specialized in an industry you are falling out of love with, your company doesn't offer sabbaticals, and you don't exactly know what you want to do next it's a great option.

That may be a Band-Aid covering a red flag, and this may be a special circumstance, but the people I know considering continued education are feeling this.

Simple depends on the context. You may say programming in assembly language is simple,
but it is only simple from the context of writing processor instructions; if you think
high-level, like accessing fields in a struct, then programming in assembly complects (or weaves)
field access with processor instructions and it turns into a complex thing (from the point of view of accessing fields in a struct).
I very much wish more people considered the various types of users and contexts that use their system. Many seem to be moving towards a "magic link" solution, which can be convenient but is also predicated on the user's phone or email which leaves users with a single point of failure and little additional protection or recourse if it is exploited.

While I understand the burden on organizations to protect user data, the user should have say as well. A one-size fits all solution almost always leaves users on the lower slopes of the bell curve vulnerable or frustrated.
I'll take that a step further: have a personal "business plan" for what you are going to accomplish and treat professional school like a job with that goal as your job description. I went to a non-top-tier law school, but I finished very high in my class and knew exactly what I wanted to accomplish (and was largely debt-free in doing so). I ended up where many of my Harvard Law friends did with substantially less financial stress.

Another tidbit, since this will probably turn into that kind of thread: I will advise anyone who listens that getting 3-5 years of work experience will, for most people, be substantially more valuable for prospective lawyers than going directly through to law school from undergraduate. The funny thing is that I finished so high in my class in part because, after working for several years, the bad parts of law school seemed pretty trivial.

Note this is a US perspective and other countries educate their professionals differently.

The evidence produced is definitely addressing a different argument than the one he actually starts with.

Comparing ancient empires to modern living standards is nonsensical for the purposes of determining if plunder was the basis for empire. And indeed, we know plenty of cases where plunder made wealthy and then ravished entire nations such as the Spanish conquest of Middle America.

His fundamental point is accurate though - there is not a fixed pot of wealth in the world, and the increased wealth of our modern age is due to technology and efficiency, not simply taking things from others.
I've been saying for a while now, that developers and their managers should use a low-spec machine, let's say the 5th-percentile of whatever their users are using in the field, at least one day a week. This might force some reprioritizing of performance and efficiency goals.

As long as devs spend their days with bugattis while writing software for corollas, this will continue to get worse.
It's still closed. It's hacky because Discord is generally a messaging app. You can wedge things into messaging apps but the UI is suboptimal.

The problem is that open source philosophy and large language models don't mix.

How can you support open source licensing, while completely ignoring that licencing to construct you model?

That's the biggest reason for the lack of "AI Stalman" imo, that's asking for someone that vehemently supports taking any content they can get their hands on to make the content generator irrelevant, while also supporting the idea that content distributed with open source licenses need to have their terms respected.

Edit: I think what you're asking for does exist, just not in the large language model space. There are many people calling for datasets to be more ethical(e.x. not breaking licenses) and for better AI models, it's just that none of them are trying to push a different model made using the same techniques by someone else.

I wonder if this will open the floodgate for more apps to offer free trials through the App Store, with an in-app paywall linking to an external payment processor with lower fees. Basically, Apple gets stuck with the obligation to maintain the App Store, while taking a considerably smaller chunk of the overall pie. Might make them rethink the value proposition of a closed ecosystem if they can't recoup enough of the cost for running the store.
> But I can't even get cartoons to most people for free now, without doing unpaid work for the profit-making companies who own the most use channels of communication

This is the sticking point for me. OpenAI isn't a profit-making company, but it's certainly a valuable company. A valuable company that is built from the work of content others created without transferring any value back to them. Regardless of legalities, that's wrong to me.

Put it this way - you remove all the copyrighted, permission-less content from OpenAIs training, what value does OpenAI's products have? If you think OpenAI is less valuable because it can't use copyrighted content, then it should give some of that value back to the content.

While this is great information, I wish more could be said about Centaurs & Cyborgs, the title of the piece.

There's a brief example of a type of task that each approach excels at, but I'd definitely like more. The crux of this piece is that our human judgment of when/how to use AI tools is the most important factor in work quality when we're on the edge of the frontier. But there's no analysis of whether centaurs or cyborgs did better at those outside-the-frontier tasks; it's not clear why those categories are even mentioned since they appear to have no relevance to the preceding research results. And as the article mentions, the frontier is "invisible" (or at least difficult to see); learning to detect tasks that are in, on, or outside of the frontier seems like an immensely important skill. (I also realize it may become completely obsolete in <5 years as the frontier expands exponentially.)

I understand the goal of this research was not to find these "edges" and to determine how we can improve our judgment about when & how to use AI. But after reading these strong results, that's definitely the only thing I'm interested in. I use AI almost not at all in my work, web development. It has been most useful to me in getting me unstuck from a thorny under-documented problem. Over a year after ChatGPT released, I still don't know if modern LLMs can actually be a force multiplier for my work or if I'm correctly judging that they're not appropriate for the majority of my tasks. The latter seems increasingly unlikely as capabilities advance.
That's an over-simplication. Fair use does not necessarily preclude the user from making money, but it definitely can if that action diminishes the value of the copied work.

Good point. That sounds like a temporary product problem, like a level 2-3 self-driving car, which still needs you to pay attention.

I think you also need to consider whether you can afford not to have the skill; what would happen if the AI were taken away, or malfunctioned? Airplane pilots are an example of this. In that case you simply have to learn the skill as if the AI will not be there.
More or less. Cat and Girl is interpreted as 2 not-proper nouns. But even when you just spam Dorothy Gambrell it doesn't get it. It doesn't seem to know the style individually, at all.
I too have had a lot of issues. Not sure if AI is filtering my resume. One thing is I do think I am Aging out. 5-10 years ago I was getting i terviews with my tech companies now nothing, even with more degrees and experience.

The other thing that’s killed me is short tenured jobs. Like it’s probably better to have a gap than a job less than a year.
Not sure if this is good or bad for the stock price.
You're wrong, there was a large financial incentive to abandon neighborhoods once non-whites started living there. The racism caused housing sell-offs, amplified by the crashing home prices.
People quickly learned that their home value would plummet when the neighborhood became integrated, so they rushed to be the first ones out; while values where still high. This, of course, exacerbated the problem. Racism is at least a good 70 to 90 percent of the problem.

I've been using rails for well over a decade (since version 2), and loving it. For the most part upgrades have been relatively painless by choosing to always lag a little behind on non-security related upgrades.

There have been times though when upgrades have been extremely painful. The massive shift between versions 2 and 3 (merb integration), the openssl shenanigans (ruby v2 -> v3), and the mimemagic / shared-mime-info licensing issues are the major ones that come to mind.

That being said, I use Elm on the front end a lot and the confidence it gives me about my code is like night and day compared to ruby (or javascript).
Not really lined up like a specific role in mind. But I've worked at large companies that partner with local universities for MBA programs.

For all the treatment of markets as "natural" I've noticed the particular kind of ethics you mention are very much not natural.

Two places this is evident:

1) It is very, very common for small business owners to be "under-pricing". They price what seems fair & just for what they're doing, which has a tendency to be (sometimes far) under the greed-is-good price that the market could bear. They're often resistant to raising prices on ethical grounds.

2) Children quite consistently have notions about fair pricing that are directly in-line with #1, starting just about as soon as they learn about commerce and tending to persist until someone "corrects" them.

This "natural" feature of capitalism that "can't" be got rid of because it's in our "nature" generally has to be taught.
