Well then that contradicts the claim of the research in the article, which is fine. I'm just assuming it's correct and then asking questions based on that, mainly how it relates to when humans developed language (not the spoken word necessarily, just the capacity for imagination/language, and that is not that old from what I recall reading).

One thing people don't realize about Vietnam is that there is a TON of wealth there. On the outside it looks really poor and run down, but that is because people either don't know how to spend their money or they don't have anything to buy. For example, it wasn't until recently that Apple even opened an official store there. A country coming out of extreme war and poverty never developed a culture to be showy. The most people can do is spend a ton of money to import products by paying heavy customs fees. So, they've spent the last 30+ years saving money. As you can imagine, people are sitting on tons of it.

Accurate.
I'm curious, what specifically works better about their IDE for you in the case of many files? Do they now have good global refactoring tools, like you can change a class name in library A and have it automatically be updated in library B and application C that depend on and use it? And without the actual files for such being open? Possibly not even the systems being loaded? (I'm reduced to what's essentially mass search-replace with https://github.com/mhinz/vim-grepper/ but it does the job and importantly helps update files I might not have open buffers for. Still a step down from what's available in JavaLand. I remember someone was working on a library to build some modern refactoring tools for Lisp but I don't know how far that's gotten.)

It is very depressing that in the EU it would be legislated, in the US there'd be a big fight between the political parties about whether it should be legislated, and the Chinese bureaucrats are presumably too disorganised to mandate any which way so someone just builds it back in '09.

I find the whole thing fascinating because it just shows there are one of two things happening:

1. The CEO is being genuine but is completely powerless to drive the direction of the company at google.

2. The CEO sends memos he knows are absolute hogwash because he tells his direct reports something completely contradictory to the memo in question.

If he's being genuine, even as a plebe from the outside I can see that advertising drives everything the company does. Responsible AI? Sure, as long as we can mine data to drive more ads (not responsible). Most helpful personal devices? Sure, as long as we sell ads while "helping" (aka not helpful at all). Innovate Google Cloud? I guess that's a nice side-project as long as it is cost-positive and helps us expand the cloud we run our ads platform on. Build the world's most trusted products? Sounds like we just need to convince people to trust us so we can sell them more ads. Etc. Etc. Etc.

> Getting t-boned does not mean that you can’t handle driving faster but rather that road conditions aren’t safe for it

When you get t-boned—your words and scenario—it’s the other driver that lost control. And I will point out that there’s a large leeway in low speeds; the type of vehicle, weight, and tires all contribute and I stand by my original point.

The other point you made is unsafe speeds for the given condition. Conditions—like icy or wet roads—is situational and subject to change.

Do you govern for all and introduce a very complex system? Only for ideal conditions?

Then there’s the question of changing speed limits (over the years) and the software's ability to keep up: Do you require open source software and hardware? Enforce an end-of-life after 10 years?

This is somewhat mysterious. Sabre launched in 1960 on a pair of of IBM 7090s (a system itself launched only a year prior) but the first HDD compatible with the 7090 was as far as I can tell, the well-known IBM 1301 which didn’t ship until 1962. Perhaps the record size was designed based on the anticipated specs of the 1301? Or perhaps they wrote a new storage layer when they got disks - either way I’m sure as you say they optimized their record size for those very expensive disks.
A new 7B model, Snorkel-Mistral-PairRM-DPO, using a similar self-rewarding pipeline was just released:

* Response Re-Ranker: https://huggingface.co/llm-blender/PairRM

"We would also like to acknowledge contemporary work published independently on arXiv on 2024-01-18 by Meta & NYU (Yuan, et al) in a paper called Self-Rewarding Language Models, which proposes a similar general approach for creating alignment pairs from a larger set of candidate responses, but using the LLM as the reward model. While this may work for general-purpose models, our experience has shown that task-specific reward models guided by SMEs are necessary for most enterprise applications of LLMs for specific use cases, which is why we focus on the use of external reward models."
I felt a compulsion to respond snarkily to this comment, but I believe I've pretty successfully avoided doing so
May be because of their unpredictability owing to their jumpiness? That seems very reasonable since humans do instinctually stay away from unpredictable organisms/animals in nature. That unpredictability doesn’t always have to correlate with the real dangerousness of those creatures.

Same. It can get tiresome in CA though! I'll take widows over recluses any day.

On the one occasion where I found an infestation too extensive to relocate (under almost every one of my outdoor chairs), I tried bug spray. Horrible. Thanks to CA's hysterical bans on everything, the spray is ineffective and merely tortures the spiders and often leaves them alive but maimed. I felt terrible. Never again.

Mainland-born Chinese here.

Xiaomi basically killed Shanzhai smartphones (the sector of all Shanzhai techs chosen by the OP) by releasing Xiaomi (and later Redmi) smartphones.

Xiaomi made Android smartphones affordable. How affordable? Here's a clip of the debut event of Xiaomi's first smartphone back in 2011:

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Xx411v7XX/

Scrub to 01:54. That's a table of the flagship smartphones at that time. The last column of the table is the price in CNY. 3k, 4k, 5k -- around that range.

Now scrub to 03:20 where their CEO announced the MSRP. Listen to that 30-second-long "wow". Look at that price. The astonishment was real.

That's the price range of Shanzhai smartphones.

On a flagship-spec'd smartphone.

That's monumental in the history of smartphone evolution in China. Ask any friend of yours born & raised in mainland China. I bet none would argue otherwise.

> designing MRISC32 have made me appreciate the clever encoding tricks that go into fitting all instructions into 32 bits.

Keep in mind that the average RISC ISA uses 5 bit registers IDs and uses three-arg form for most instructions, that's 15 bits gone. While AMD64 uses 4 bit register IDs and uses two-arg form for most instructions, which is only 8 bits.

Also, the encoding scheme that Agner describes is not a fixed width encoding. It's variable width with 16bit, 32bit, 48bit and 64bit uops. There are also some (hopefully rare) uops which don't fit in the uop cache's encoding scheme (forcing a fallback to the instruction decoders). Those two relief valves allow such an encoding to avoid the needs for the complex encoding tricks of a proper fixed width encoding.

So I find the scheme to be plausible, though what you say about decoders after the uOP cache is true.

Theism tends to be the default in general society so by nature, it is a more congealed group vs the rest. And when we use taxonomy to classify groups, casually in this case and by will of the group, we naturally define a commonality. Having "beef" with a defined group is more sensible than having "beef" with some nebulous other so no, I don't consider your assertions true that these are the same "beefs", if that's what you're implying.

In the case you pointed out, the only thing those atheists had in common with other atheists then and now, in general, is just a name. There is no shared doctrine(s), it is defined by a lack of. I'd argue the converse, that it is much harder to be of toxic nature when your whole belief system, or lack thereof, is defined by a lacking as opposed to the what can be the insistence of the ones who posit beliefs.

McGlone thinks it’s totally wrong for the market to think the Fed would lower interest rates.
If the expert is correct, long Treasury bonds and gold will prosper in this climate.
Mike McGlone, a senior commodity analyst at Bloomberg, predicts that Bitcoin would underperform the stock market in 2024 when adjusted for risk, while gold could emerge victorious.

In spite of the optimistic talk around the impending Bitcoin halving and the recent approval of spot Bitcoin ETF, the biggest cryptocurrency may not be able to hit new all-time highs in 2024 due to macroeconomic issues.

Specifically, McGlone thinks it’s totally wrong for the market to think the Fed would lower interest rates, which normally boosts risk-on assets like Bitcoin.
It's kind of astounding just how absolutely useless top-level communications are in publicly traded companies. My company is far smaller and less important than Google, but I can still recognize the exact same brand of vacuous crap being passed off as leadership. How is it that as a people we've come to just accept this as table stakes?

Those 7 goals that he gave the company are... nothing. It's so painfully inclusive that there's nothing left to not be a goal. "Build the most helpful personal computing platforms and devices"? What the fuck is that? What activity could possibly be ruled as conclusively in or out of conformance with that goal?

I'm left wondering who the hell is driving all of this corporate theater? What is this reality distortion field that makes us feel like it is an inevitable fact of life that these leaders can only communicate in banal, unactionable platitudes? How is it that the entire corporate world has agreed that the liability of slipping up or saying something too opinionated outweighs _actually communicating_ with the damn employees?
