Oh no sorry didn't mean to worry you so much. The market will have to adjust to take in this new wave of entry level people. There's still way too much demand for devs for it to be any other way.

I meant that in the 2010s we had a ton of tech startups even in the most random places. Every business was wondering if they needed an app or big data service. I didn't even bother with an internship because everyone was hustling to make the next smartphone app or SaaS/IoT product and get that sweet recurring revenue.

That meant it was easy to get experience wearing many hats. You'd get exposed to absolutely everything from meetings with the client, web dev, database, embedded, kernel patches, etc. I still had a couple years of school left and had all that on my resume as a fresh grad.

This generation is going to take longer to get up to speed with all the crap you end up having to learn in the "real world". To be honest it may not even matter. As things have matured less deep knowledge may be required. It was a different kind of stress back then. Everyone was terrified they weren't good enough and competition was crazy. We thought our jobs were going to be taken by someone from abroad as the gig economy and remote work ramped up. We weren't entirely wrong, but the threat was overblown as communication barriers and time zone issues were realized.

I'm in a more senior role now and have accepted my more corporate fate. I can't speak for everyone from my era, but I have no issues building up new hires and I think most of us are grateful and proud to be in our roles. As long as you find a boss who keeps you from slipping into that "long tail of incompetence" it'll be okay. I'd try to not work somewhere that specializes their employees too much when you're still new. That's how they lock you in, pay you jack shit, and ruin your prospects. Every career even outside of tech has that problem of getting pigeonholed because of your resume. Things have just slowed a bit and I will have to remember to not be a cranky old man who constantly whines "back in my day..."

TAC shouldn't be part of that computation. It's an expense, not revenue. (Yes, it's confusing that it's in the same table as the revenue numbers, but so is the headcount and you wouldn't try to work it into the equation somehow.)

Also, if you only consider the search revenue you'll err in the opposite direction. It's 55% of their revenue, so pretty soon not even a normal majority. You should look at the "Google Advertising" line.
A disturbingly large number of non-US born people I know with US degrees in STEM fields got their green-cards by marrying a friend who they had not previously been in a romantic relationship with. In many cases this was after dealing with the H-1B system for some time.
seems bizarre Ubuntu is not mentioned ... its the 800 pound elephant in the room ... to me its the path of least resistance for server side developers ... especially when kicking tires of endless repos on a daily basis
Another goal (as I understand it) of the H1-B process is to allow foreigners who've come to the US for school to stay here and work after they've graduated. This seems (IMO) better than training a bunch of valuable people, then having them immediately go back home.

A system based entirely on salary would bias towards only senior roles, preventing the handling of that scenario at all.

> I'm just glad Apple took a chance on launching such a crazy device

Probably a dozen other companies launched similar devices already. Apple is hardly going out on a crazy limb here. This is their classic iterative refinement of what other people already did.

But I do agree with the first point - the flaws in this gen 1 has very little bearing on the long term success of it as a product category. But I would argue it works both ways, in that to the extent it is successful in the niche that buys it, you can't tell yet if it will break out to mass appeal. We just don't know.

To what extent do you encounter hallucinations of foreign-language grammar (or vocabulary)? It looks like one person here is complaining that the application has hallucinated a non-existent verb form in one context.

That would be my biggest fear about using a language model for foreign language study ... being taught something wrong or significantly unidiomatic (perhaps by example), and then having to unlearn it later on.
>>> Notice what is happening here: TSMC, unlike its historical pattern, is not keeping (all of its) 5nm capacity to make low-cost high-margin chips in fully-depreciated fabs; rather, it is going to repurpose some amount of equipment — probably as much as it can manage — to 3nm, which will allow it to expand its capacity without a commensurate increase in capital costs. This will both increase the profitability of 3nm and also recognizes the reality that is afflicting TSMC’s 7nm node: there is an increasingly large gap between the leading edge and “good enough” nodes for the vast majority of use cases.

My understanding is that 5nm has been and continues to be "problematic" in terms of yield. The move to 3nm seems to not be afflicted by as many issues. There is also a massive drive to get more volume (and a die shrink will do that), due to the demands of all things ML.

I suspect that TSMC's move here is a bit more nuanced than the (valid) point that the article is making on this step...

That question is quite a bit of handholding. A closer analogue would be “would you bet the next ball is red / green / they’re equally likely?”.

Personally I’d word it as “The next ball is… more likely to be red than green / more likely to be green than red / equally likely to be red or green / I don’t know.”
Flip three coins. First one lands heads. Does that mean the rest are more likely to be heads? No.
Or they are seeded by the same people. Yeah, I recently re-watched Stargate.

As far as the exact rules of physics, we're built for 1G. We keep finding Super Earths where gravity would be more than 1G. How would those same physics and math work out for civilizations?
Yeah. A 1980s era Microsoft DOS computer capability running on a $1.75 microcontroller is exactly what I want, on one hand. I'm not greedy or needy, after all. A microcontroller with WiFi connectivity built in (or easily attached, imported, or included) for building a networked system of these smart little computers and hardware part controllers too. Like, a washing machine that sends a "done washing" message to a headless server sitting in the home.

But I do kinda need them to be expendable. So designs that are priced at less than $5 is kinda a requirement for me. Because I sincerely believe I'm stepping into new and unexplored territory. A lot of experiments will be done with this information technology system. Which means there needs to be a massively productive facility for having a swarm of microcontrollers. Hence, the need for turning any microcontroller encountered in the wild into a controlled and compliant robot brain for my heterogeneity of devices and home appliances.

I don't mind thinking about how to not bust open a stack that can only fit three variables on it or something. In comparison to the simple architecture which includes parsimonious memory modules or only two registers total, for example, what's complex will be the total assembly and combinations of Turing machine based codes made possible by teeny microcontrollers/computers doing simple things. Like receiving temperature levels and then relaying or sending packets of temperature or heat data to a server. Acquiring x86 instruction sets is definitely unnecessary here. Or, rather, I only need x86 code execution for not re-inventing things like WiFi. ARM or x86, for example, then, should be seen as just an imported (think Python) or included (think C) module.
It’s not even really a conspiracy. The status quo is good for many and so it continues because people don’t care enough (or are persuaded to care in ways that others want them to).

> There should be no cap for people who have received higher education degrees in the US.

Then you're effectively creating a loophole. There would be a proliferation of private schools that accept anyone willing to pay enough $$$ and churn out barely-competent graduates just so that people have a better shot at citizenship. "Attended a school in the US" is not a good proxy for being an asset to the country.

> There should be no cap for people who are going into STEM, AI, or other jobs that are going to vastly develop the economy.

That's essentially the whole point of H-1B, and right now, they're overwhelmingly allocated to what one could generously describe as STEM professions.

I know fraud prevention is whack-a-mole, and I know the system has been broken a long time, but this still works only for a certain segment of hires.

I was on the board of a "foreign" school. All instruction (except English) is in the home country's language, and we of course want native speaking teachers familiar with the subject material. For years we used H-1s -- all the teachers qualify, as they all have master's degrees or more and the specialized skills -- but when the big consulting companies started scamming all the H-1s in early October that became impossible for us. Teachers don't tend to think about leaving until late in the school year, certainly not in March, and they need to know relatively quickly so they can move to the US and get settled before the school year starts. What a pain.

Thanks for your great work on this! As with a number of other folks here, I too have been playing with using LLMs for language learning. Primarily I've been using the Voice Control for ChatGPT extension with custom GPTs, learning Japanese.

One of the things I notice right away about your app is that your learning arc is moving from saying simple things to saying complex things, as opposed to aligning with increasing grammatical complexity. One of the things Duolingo does well is start with simple verbs, simple nouns, then slowly introduce language complexity over time: new particles, new tenses, new grammatical structures, etc. So the learning arc follows the complexity of the grammar, not the complexity of what I'm trying to express. I'm not sure I'm communicating that well :-) But for Japanese, as an example, there is a series of proficiency tests that do a good job of laying out a rough learning arc, which makes it easier to scaffold someone in, meet them where they are, and then start building on the knowledge they already have. When I futz with LLMs it's largely been to box the LLM in at a particular language level and then use it to practice language concepts at that level: for example, use JLPT N4 vocab and grammar and let's have a conversation about my day at university using formal language. If there was some way to roughly align the Univerbal conversation against tiers in language learning and then help me progress along that arc, it would be even more valuable.

My actual expertise is in games for learning though, and I appreciate what I saw you doing with "goals" in the "meeting a new friend" stage. Gamification is primarily about engagement, keeping me motivated, keeping me involved, keeping me coming back. Duo does a ton of gamification and uses it to good effect even though I know it does drive some people bonkers. But am I about to break my 500-day streak? No I am not. Gamification works! :) With the capabilities that you already demonstrate you could probably walk closer to making it an actual game, if you wanted to: the primary difference being that you'd need to add learning elements in there beyond the suggestions you have now (which are great, btw). Think of the way Zelda teaches you a new control mechanic through the individual shrines and bosses (formative and summative assessment, essentially), and adds the control details to your options menu once you've learned them (like having a grammar guide or vocabulary list once you've demonstrated mastery). What your game would be would be something very different from Zelda, but... it is fun to think about!

Love what you're doing!

McAfee makes their money from people being required to run it for certification.

Aye - this would form the counter-point to the revolutionary thesis. ChatGPT might be the LLM product, and everything else is small potatoes. This would still leave a 30-100 billion dollar in revenue industry - but that’s about the size where the current combined Nvidia/MSFT/Openai valuation has no room to grow.

From what I've seen, a better description of Palworld is "Rust/Ark with Pokemon".

Unlikely with AMD owning ATI. The reason NVidia was blocked from buying ARM was because of the many, many third parties that were building chips off ARM IP. Nvidia would have become their direct competitor overnight with little indication they would treat third parties fairly. Regulators were rightly concerned it would kill off third party chips. Not to mention the collective lobbying might of all the vendors building ARM chips.

There were and are exactly zero third parties licensing nvidia IP to build competing GPU products.
The larger the distance, the more it actually works as a navigational source so you won't see those insects since they are navigating just fine.

The insects you see are the ones that happen to get too close and thus their nav gets 'jammed'.

It's similar to planes navigating by compass. Works great, until you go up to the arctic circle, then you better have another nav source or you too will be flying in circles.
No. You previously had to fill the entire H1B petition and pay full fees (including lawyer fees to prepare the petition) just to enter the H1B lottery. Your fees get refunded if you do not get selected in the lottery. You're still out lawyer fees though.

The $10 fee to enter your name and later fill the entire petition is a fairly recent change

It's simply false that wasting disease "requires wolves" to propagate. This has been known and studied for many years [0][1]. It's been a large problem here in Colorado for decades despite no wolf population (up until the last few months).

If you would like to learn more, I'd encourage you to read Colorado Parks & Wildlife's management report [2] which includes a lot of good sources and background about its history, epidemiology, and current mitigation plans.

An addendum - I'm surprised at how spot on so many of these iPhone 1 reviews are outside of the not getting the browser thing (and even there folks complaining about how web2.0 is taking off and there's no js/java/flash support? Good point!). Keyboard should work in portrait mode, voice calling is bad, 3g support is needed, no multimedia messaging. No replaceable battery and not user servicable enough. Camera is OK but needs dramatic improvement. Typing urls is very hard. And of course, no games, no 3rd party apps, no app store. After hearing all these memes for however long about how the media just didn't get the iPhone or something - yeah no they did pretty well

I wish that TS had better type narrowing for the JS standard library, though there's a lot of constraints and design limitations that make it impractical. I ran into a similar issue with the some() method on Array not narrowing types a while back [1]; that issue links to the same sort of issue with filter(), as well as issues where the TS team has discussed what they can and can't do in control flow analysis.

>Why would I use it over something like Rust, Go, or even JavaScript?

Honestly, mainly for flutter. But if you do chose flutter for your project, you will suddenly wish everyone was using dart for everything else instead of Java on android, or c#/Swift on ios ect. if that makes sense. If sound type checking is truly feasible on the web then I'd say dart should be there too. But I can't say if that's really the case. At least ECMA seems to think it isn't, at least for js.

No, it's specifically a write that causes the page to actually be freed. Per the man page:

> However, subsequent writes to pages in the range will succeed and then kernel cannot free those dirtied pages, so that the caller can always see just written data. If there is no subsequent write, the kernel can free the pages at any time. Once pages in the range have been freed, the caller will see zero-fill-on-demand pages upon subsequent page references.
The title of this post is wrong.

This isn't about the 737-MAX, it's about a new sub-model which currently only exists as a prototype and is undergoing a lengthy test and certification process.

AFAIK it's scheduled to start passenger flights end of this year or year early next year and this specific issue might have no impact on that.
You response seems a bit confused/confusing, but the linked articles explain the situation fairly well. The crucial point is that AT&T/Cingular had a 5 year exclusivity deal from the very beginning. They were "on board", and indeed no other carrier could get on board. The initial terms of the deal were that AT&T gave Apple $10 per month for every iPhone user. Then the deal was changed to have AT&T subsidize $300 per iPhone, thereby lowering the iPhone price. In either case, every iPhone sold required an AT&T contract and was locked to the AT&T network.
