Did they do anything in those three decades that hadn't been dreamt of and projected out sometime in the 60s? Architecturally, sure doesn't seem like it.

I'd say a lot more innovation happens on the process side. Manufacturing.

All the architecture changes look like things mainframes did decades ago.
There’s an excellent documentary series about things that go wrong with superyachts called James Bond.

> Where was AMD?

Trying to breathe as Intel was pushing their head under water.

We saw AMD come back after their lawsuit against Intel got through and Intel had to stop paying everyone to not use AMD.
Would you have hired a young Steve Jobs? (2020)
Then you have to rely on getting the job by other means than sending your CV. In other words networking.

Personally I don't apply to public job listings any more, even when I match all requirements. They are a waste of everyone's time. But networking has its limits.
I was a huge Intel fanboy for years...and then I got my first Windows Arm laptop (Lenovo X13s). Intel has a lot of catching up to do.
It's a good review.

Basically, the thing gives you some screens fixed in world space. You have to be mostly stationary for the effect to work. So it won't replace walking around staring at your cell phone. A lot of thought has gone into the interface for this sort of thing. That's the real achievement here, and that matters.

Workplace of the near future - a room full of people, crammed together as on an airplane or in a theater, each wearing a headset. No more desks!

It's still too heavy, though. If it's tethered to a belt-mounted unit, why isn't the electronics down there, instead of in a brick on the back of your head? The headgear part needs to drop to no worse than swim goggles.
Google's Cache is a wonderful way to circumvent many paywalls. I have a bookmark that I use as a button to redirect the current URL to it's cached version.

You can try it out, just add a new bookmark and paste this:

"javascript:var url = new URL(location.href); location.href = 'https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:%27 + url;"
I used to think the same, but now I don't see these headsets replacing monitors/TVs any time soon.

I don't have a TV at my small apartment but do have two 27 in monitors. Sometimes I wish I had enough space for a sofa and 55+ in TV for movies and shows. And maybe headsets will solve the problem, maybe I don't even need those monitors any more.

Now? I realize I don't need multiple monitors, 2 is enough. (4k is definitely better than 1080p and 2 is better than 1, but I don't think I can properly utilize a third monitor.) And these are good monitors -- not Pro Display XDR good but still premium 4k monitors -- that have been around for years and I'll keep using them until they die. And about movies -- I have tried using the Quest 2/3 to watch movies. It is usable, and apps even provide "scenes" that make you feel you are in a theater. Do I want to wear them and watch movies on a fake 100" screen? No, for obvious reasons (comfort).

If the day comes when they are light, comfortable to wear, allow very good passthrough and actually do a better job than my 4k screens, I'll take another look.
This may be a dumb question, but wouldn't one only see that content if they engage with it or follow people who engage with it?
My only point is that the initial iPhone was an expensive phone that didn’t have typical carrier subsidies. It was successful in spite of this.

The original parent post claimed that it did and implied that this was the reason why it was so successful. They also implied that the new Vision Pro would need similar subsidies to be successful.

I’m not quite sure the killer feature is there yet for VR headsets. But if the usability is better for the Vision Pro than the Quest, et al., it could still be successful, regardless of the cost.
One thing I find with Apple devices is that they have an ecosystem of extremely passionate developers, and all their other "new paradigm" platforms also initially shipped with no software (Mac, iPhone, iPad). The mainstream usage of these devices is really based on what developers built for them in the first couple years after release, not the use cases Apple tried to sell us on.

The shortcomings and skepticism surrounding the AVP is pretty reminiscent of the above examples' own initial releases. Unless AVP is an exception to the rule, I think both the hardware and the software will start to get extremely good over the next few years. But that is unavoidably predicated by a flawed gen 1 being released.
> Core 2 series blew them out of the water.

And Sandy Bridge all but assured AMD wouldn't be relevant for the better part of a decade.

It's easy to forget just how fast Sandy Bridge was when it came out; over 12 years later and it can still hold its own as far as raw performance is concerned.
Most American university instructors are adjuncts. Yes, any welder would easily earn more than let’s say 85% of instructors.
The difference is this is tightly coupled with Instagram which is one of the most active networks already and they can easily cross pollinate the two for a long time and keep sucking up people who get fed up with Twitter.
I don't think Apple "sabotaged" them but it is true that the M1 series came with very different thermal design parameters than the terminal Intel models. Apple's Intel laptops would ramp chip power to the max as soon as anything happened. Apple's M1 ramps very, very slowly, dwelling for hundreds of milliseconds at each voltage before stepping up. These are decisions that are in the OEM's hands and not dictated by Intel.
Correlation does not imply causation. I think smartwatches (and step trackers) were a thing, independent of apple.

I remember a friend talking about load balancers when they were first came on the market 20 years ago. Cisco had this thing called "localdirector" which I believe couldn't handle load in the first place, while competitors did load balancing in hardware.

I was puzzled why people bought them.

My friend said, "Look, people buy $1M of cisco equipment, and they can just add a line item for one or 10 of these with no friction"

So, I think Apple made their watch a "line item". People buy a phone, and they need cables and the watch is sitting there, and they say "ok!" and try one.

(aside, I love my garmin watch. I just put it on my wrist. I haven't hooked it to my phone or connected it to the internet. It is great with battery life. I track my sleep, which seems to be when most people put their apple watch on a charger. I put my watch on the charger during my shower, which is all it needs)
> Democracy - in any meaningful sense - is more than mob rule

No, "democracy" literally is mob rule, or at least that's how the term has been used for most of its history.

> Protects the rights and self-determination of everyone

On that front, El Salvador is doing better than ever. It used to be, the rights of the 2% of gang members were respected, while the 98% of honest citizens had no rights and lived in fear. Now, the 98% have full rights. That's +96% people with full rights
Yeah, now that I think about it, I never see any screenshots on reddit either. I see tons from twitter.
Soon after the acquisition, Google, really Google X, started working with Motorola on a new watch, prototyping it on existing hardware (Motoactv?). Within a few weeks, the whole thing got cancelled. Not sure if that was because of the Samsungs of this world complaining or because of government agencies.

Source: I was supposed to run the dogfood program in the NYC office. I never got the watches, but somewhere I still have the USB extension cords and the (then quite fancy) chargers with dual USB ports, one for your phone and one for the watch.
Intel's flaw was trying to push DUV to 10nm (otherwise known as Intel 7).

Had Intel adopted the molten tin of EUV, the cycle of failure would have been curtailed.

Hats off to SMIC for the DUV 7nm which they produced so quickly. They likely saw quite a bit of failed effort.

And before we discount ARM, we should remember that Acorn produced a 32-bit CPU with a 25k transistor count. The 80386 was years later, with 275k transistors.

Intel should have bought Acorn, not Olivetti.

That's a lot of mistakes, not even counting Itanium.

I read that as them not wanting you to use Actions as part of your commercial offering.

E.g. don’t use Github as Infrastructure as a Service.

I am not sure I understand the stigma. It is a ridiculously cool and useful skill to have. I am only reading up on it now ( with plans later to bamboozle wife to let met attend local community college classes to learn it in practice ).

Is it just the perception that it is not proper 'mind job'?
I never tried finetuning Llama or Meta's newly released CodeLlama 70b on 1x H100 80GB card, but people have confirmed it works!

On bsz=1, seqlen=16K, it just gits on a 80GB card with 4bit QLoRA, since Unsloth reduces VRAM use by 70% and makes finetuning 2x faster! CodeLlama 70b / Llama 70b has 80 layers, a hd of 8192 and Swiglu of 28672. Vocab size is 32K.

1) 4bit weights of 70b takes around 40GB ish of VRAM.

2) Backprop saved tensors takes 80layers * 8192 * bsz(1) * 16K * 2bytes = 20.5GB VRAM.

3) Internal Attention gradients take 8192*5*1*16K*2bytes = 1.3GB VRAM.

4) Internal Swiglu gradients take 28672*3*1*16K*2bytes = 2.7GB VRAM.

5) Logits take 32K*1*16K*2bytes = 1GB VRAM.

6) LoRA weights rank 64 for attention QKVO take 64*8192*80layers*2bytes*4*2 = 640MB VRAM.

7) LoRA weights for MLP gate up down take 64*28672*80layers*2bytes*3*2 = 1.7GB VRAM.

8) LoRA gradients f32 take double so 2.3GB * 2 = 4.6GB VRAM.

9) Layernorm and other residuals internally take 3*8192*1*16K*2bytes = 1GB VRAM.

So all in all, 40 + 20.5 + 1.3 + 2.7 + 1 + 2.3 + 4.6 + 1 = 73.4GB of VRAM!!

Plus memory fragmentation, it can fit in under 80GB of VRAM!
I think your description is the absolute best case scenario.

In reality, it will collect dust.

It needs to "do work" faster, or at least more conveniently, than a computer can.

Just needing to put the thing on is a massive hurdle for regular adoption.
> nothing in Intel's lineup at the time was any good for a laptop.

You leave no room for nuance here, friend. And somehow I doubt you're familiar with every single one of Intel's tens of thousands of SKUs over decades. Intel has made a lot of CPUs. They're in lots of laptops. You might consider your wording if you're not trying to be corrected.
Yeah there was a certain set of news events that happened over the past couple months that turned X into a cesspool of people intentionally baiting each other and refusing to listen or show humanity.

Why is this even surprising? Like most trades, they can be lucrative if you work hard and do quality work - none of the side benefits of a professorship though, like retirement, sick leave, holidays, physically easy work, and in many cases probably intellectually easy work too.

Somehow you are comparing Apple’s first gen laptop/iPad chip to a a desktop setup requiring 10x the power consumption and 10x the physical size (for the chips and all the cooling required). The power envelope for these chips is very different and they prioritize different things.

My own humble opinion is that Intel has always suffered from market cannibalization. They are a brand I look for but many times the iteration of products will force me to go a generation or two older because I can’t argue with the price and features. By the time I was sold on a NUC they were discontinued. I wanted a discrete GPU when they announced Xe but it has become Xe ARC alchemist, battlemage, celestial, and druid. By the time I’m ready to spend some money it will become something else usually. Also, they should have snapped up Nuvia. I’m still rooting for them but really if they could streamline their products and be willing to take a leap of faith on others in the same space it would help out a lot.
Never used Thread, so here is a stupid question:

Is it easier for non users to read things on thread compared to X and the need for the dying nitters?
True, it's not just a story of Apple besting Intel. AMD has been beating them too.

Rough recent history for Intel.

I agree that Apple figured if they were going to switch, they should just go ahead and switch to themselves. But the choice was really to switch to either themselves or AMD. Sticking with Intel at the time was untenable. 14nm is certainly a big part of that story, and I'm glad you at least finally recognize there was a serious problem.

If Intel had been able to deliver on their node shrink roadmap, perhaps Apple never would have felt the need to switch--or may have at least delayed those plans. Who knows, that's alternate history speculation at this point.

The article in question is about Intel potentially getting back to some level of process parity, perhaps even leadership. I'm looking forward to that because I think a competitive market is important.

But pretending Intel's laptop processors weren't garbage for most of the last 8 or so years is kind of living in an alternate reality.
We’ve drunk the koolaid that work with one’s hands is not respectable. Meanwhile the trades are mostly killing it and watching white collar workers with their hunched backs and lattes have their work slowly eroded by language models.
they are killer apps, but how many people are going to spend $3500, no, just $1500 or $1000 for just for these things? Well, that is almost the entire market of Quest 3 which Apple does not want to be in. Which is why I feel Quest 3 is a product that makes much more sense than Vision Pro.
I really love Threads personally. I find it more chilled than Twitter but not as boring as Mastodon. The engagement I get is much, much higher than what I get on Twitter and the vibe seems friendlier.

My major complaint is none of the AI community are on it, aside from Meta researchers.
It's probably a safety concern. A helicopter hangar requires a very large watertight door. Very large doors are less safe than small doors. In the event of failure, better to lose the helicopter than the crew.

In my experience it’s not quite the opposite but quite different.

Twitter is fine for apolitical people. They don’t follow the politics. And then Twitter is fine for people of a certain political leaning.

Everything else in this space is for people who are political + left enough to want to leave Twitter because they follow enough political things to be annoyed at all.
I don't know about the out of state address part, but it would probably be pretty painful in general to go around stores in the US and try to pay by check these days. Some large stores probably would have the systems to handle it but it wouldn't be normal and would cause a lot of friction. Absent a credit/debit card, you'd be better off just using cash which wouldn't be normal either but would be widely accepted.
How are his daughters relevant to the point?
Data point: I've been using threads since day one and deleted Twitter in day 2. Once every couple weeks or so I'll check out Twitter, but I've been on threads daily and haven't felt like I was missing anything.

> Japan is one of the (if not _the_) healthiest countries in the world.

Sure, I could believe that. I have never been (always wanted to go). I am quite fond of some of the more romanticized elements of their culture, but I would not claim to know a lot about Japanese culture. So, I imagine my expectations would not intersect reality. However, I do love my pure bred Shiba Inu, so they can cultivate some great dogs. ;)

How much of Japan being the healthiest country can be directly attributed to their drug laws and healthcare system?

Sure, both might contribute, but I also wonder how things like having walkable cities, a sense of community/social homogeneity, dietary differences, genetic differences, etc. also play a factor.

I'm sure their healthcare and drugs laws do not make most individuals worse off. Is healthcare socialized in Japan or is it private? (I guess I could look this up). But I would imagine this could be a factor too.

How litigious are people in Japan compared to the rest of the world? I could be wrong, but I want to believe people in the US are probably more litigious than in Japan, but I have nothing to base that on other than unfounded stereotypes.

Alcohol is more dangerous than most commonly used drugs, but it's perfectly legal in Japan. So is tobacco. So, clearly what is deemed acceptable is arbitrary and based on cultural values and not public safety.

If Japan wasn't so tweaked in the 50s and 60s, then perhaps they might have a different outlook on substances?

While we are on this topic how does Japan view addiction? Is it viewed as a moral failing or a disease or something else?

Also, somewhat irrelevant, but do you want to know something ironic? Did you know a Japanese company, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, is the proud owner of a significant amount of R&D and rights of the most popular stimulant medications? They merged with Shire in 2019, which is the company that R&D'd Adderall XR, Vyvanse, Mydaysis, Daytrana, etc..

They now pocket money off drugs they cannot even legally touch in the country they are headquartered in.

The huge binary size doesn't really bother me, but the a CPU usage does. On my laptop I can't run something like vscode because it kicks the fans on and kills the battery.
And as a developer, I hate JavaScript. I'd much rather use a compiled language and use Qt/GTK/etc.

Probably the biggest reason is because it's used too much. Seems like the vast majority of these electron/Tauri apps would work just fine as a website/extension.
Maybe that's just me, but I remember back when I was a web dev and I tried Electron for the first time. There wasn't any point in doing it, I was just excited to see my site as an exe on my desktop.
I got curious about how ARM is doing in the data center and found this:

>Arm now claims to hold a 10.1% share of the cloud computing market, although that's primarily due to Amazon and its increasing use of homegrown Arm chips. According to TrendForce, Amazon Web Services (AWS) was using its custom Graviton chips in 15% of all server deployments in 2021.

>It is miles ahead of the competition

I really don't think this is correct. It's a bit better at some things than any of its competition, and it's a little worse in some ways too. Other than the displays I don't think you can say it's substantially ahead at all.
They have been doing this forever. Here is a paper by some of the same authors: A Monte Carlo AIXI Approximation (2009). https://arxiv.org/abs/0909.0801
Helicopter hanger has the largest door into a pressure hull area, it's the largest point of failure - if it fails, it's isolated from the living space (and other sub areas).

It's smart safety design.
If I understand correctly part of the explanation is that when they're flying horizontally they need to compensate for gravity by pushing up, kind of like what planes do. If you put them in a place where there's no gravity with a light floating in the middle of a room they'd orbit the light while also getting closer as they're trying to compensate for gravity, and when you put gravity back I guess that produces the weird orbiting we observe.

Haven't seen flying insects since last summer but if I think they kind of lose altitude the closer they get to the light source, which would be when their torso is less horizontally oriented.

Also this is just a guess but I imagine the closer they're to the light source and the larger the contrast between bright and dark is, the stronger is their tendency to get locked into the orbiting path as opposed to flying randomly.
Twitter isn't focused on being a microblogging platform anymore, and X has a branding problem worse than that papa John's guy, John Schnatter.

I like mastodon, but it has been described as going to a quiet restaurant only to be handed a meat cleaver and an oven.

Bluesky's interface is clunky, slow by comparison. It is run by Jack Dorsey who, bless his good intentions, doesn't inspire faith in his management of a good product.

Meta is hands off, this is Instagram and Mosseri's discretion, with Meta as a hiring pool. The hate for meta is palpable, but threads is only going to grow imo.
That's my point. You got it. Go you.
