I said this yesterday in a different thread, but Intel needs to jettison its design business and just be a foundry. Pulling a reverse AMD. I don’t think they’ll be able to meaningfully acquire customers for their foundry business unless they split the company. I also think their foundry business is the one thing that could cause the stock to soar, and was historically what gave them their edge. I think there is a lot of demand for another possible fab outside of TSMC[1] because of the risk China poses to Taiwan but only if there is a process advantage. Right now TSMC has proven itself to be stable and continues to deliver for its customers. Intel is playing catch up, and sort of needs to prove it’s dedicated to innovating its fab business. I don’t think competing with its potential customers is a way of doing that.

[1] I know Samsung has foundry services (among others) but I don’t think they have the leading node capabilities that really compete with TSMC.

I disagree with your reading; I don't disagree that there are good things out there that require reading the manual and reading the "how to use this manual" section. But I think your reading is the most uncharitable possible reading of a comic. It's art and humor, and any reading of the author's other material makes it clear he's a fan of doing hard things. Taken in context, I believe it's quite clear he's trying to make a point about usability, and doing so in a very broad-brush way because the simplicity of the comic format requires that.

I'm a CS professor. I teach people to read the man pages. I encourage them to read books, and to learn how to use the tools they use. I teach them to use git.

Does this really appeal to developers? SQL is an extremely expressive language and while there are things in it I would change they are mostly minor points. Writing a query in english where the actual SQL it translates to is dependent on the specific version of the LLM seems dangerous - and forcing the query expression to be in a language that not everyone speaks either as a first language or at all seems to make code less accessible.

When properly styled with good indentation and syntax habits SQL is extremely readable.

High population density, like many of the other low birth rate nations. At some point people don't thrive living so close and crowded together. The carrying capacity of civilization has its limits.
The problem is that smartphones had very little consumer uptake before the iPhone came out.

You had your Windows Mobile and Symbian devices, which were popular among hardcore turbonerds, but normies weren't interested in them. And that goes double for the US; there was more uptake of WinMo and Symbian in Europe, but very little in Apple's home market. The closest thing to a "normie" smartphone before the iPhone was BlackBerry, but most people who had one were business users who had their device issued and provisioned by their employer. And enthusiasts always pooh-poohed BlackBerries as "not a real smartphone" because it was basically just a messaging and groupware beast with limited general-purpose capabilities.

So there was a big gap to be filled. Enthusiasts had their market segment, business users had their market segment, but the ordinary consumers had nothing. And Apple gladly swooped in to fill this gap.

The problem is that cars are already ubiquitous, especially in the US. What can an iCar offer that a Toyota can't? Hell, even if you specify electric cars, other companies still have this covered. What can Apple offer that Tesla can't? And if you look internationally, it's even worse. You start selling electric cars outside the US market, you're going to end up going head-to-head with Chinese giants like BYD that are already kicking Tesla's ass outside the US.

The only real path forward for an iCar that does to cars what the iPhone did to phones is if Apple were to perfect true Level 5 self-driving. If they could actually pull off "Siri, take me to work", it would change things enough that normal cars would look like dumbphones compared to the iCar. But that's a pipe dream. Our roads are too chaotic for Level 5 to be feasible for a long, long time. In fact, I'm willing to bet that the reason this project lasted a whole decade was because Apple was throwing everything they had at Level 5 self-driving, and they canned it because after an entire decade they still couldn't make it work.

All three points are true, except for the bit about "exterminated to the last". Ideally the size of the deer population would reside more or less within the carrying capacity of the ecosystem but the eradication of the apex predators (wolves mainly) has led to an explosion in the population. This has knock on effects that are very destructive to the point that deer in most places might accurately be called "vermin". Those who disagree might consult an authority such as Aldo Leopold on the subject. He knew this a long time ago.

About the hunters: unfortunately there's a lot trash hunters out there now that don't follow norms and what formerly was considered socially aberrant behavior is considered cool, even righteous.

Noisy drones in the forest/desert/canyons wherever truly suck for everyone not the drone operator. Who knew the choppers that flourished in the skies above the Grand Canyon would proliferate to fill every former natural refuge from the clamoring industrial noises of modern life.

You deserve a lot of credit for doing this... often when I am watching German content that has English subtitles, I wonder if the subtitles are already being produced by AI... I sometimes find the subtitles more confusing (even though they are in my native language) than the German, as though they almost had to have been automatically produced rather than by an actual translator using contextual clues, etc.

It is my impression (as an outsider watching CF) that they have a bit of a not-invented-here problem. So if CF already has a culture of rewriting things, then rewriting it in Rust is not such a bad idea.

The problem is more that rewriting code that has a long history and is in wide-spread use tends to lose that history and any real world experience embedded in the code.

But if otherwise they would have written something in C++ then that point is moot.
> what it could tell me about how it was programmed, what internal data Google uses it to train it, and what policy was used to determine what data was acceptable/unacceptable.

I find it's common that we assume that a model actually has this information, even though I can't see a reason it would be in the training data to begin with. More likely perhaps, is that it just hallucinates and tells us what we want to hear or it tells us nothing at all.

Unlike Google, ChatGPT allows me to use the process of elimination when searching for solutions. Recently, I encountered a technical problem and turned to Google first. While the initial search results offered a common solution that matched my symptom, it turned out not to be the root cause of my issue. Despite browsing through several pages, the top results continued to point to the same popular solution, suggesting my problem was uncommon.

Turning to ChatGPT, I encountered a similar initial response, suggesting the same popular solution that didn't apply to my case. However, I was able to communicate that this solution wasn't the right fit, prompting ChatGPT to suggest another possibilities. The third suggestion from ChatGPT finally hit the mark, identifying the right issue and offering a solution.

ChatGPT's interactive nature makes it akin to an interactive search engine, allowing me to refine my search by ruling out common results. Google, on the other hand, lacks this capability, making ChatGPT a valuable tool.
> explicitly prohibits the use of a spotlight to search for or locate for any purpose any game or wildlife anywhere within this Commonwealth

How is that not immediately clear (at least for wounded game)? I think it's also pretty damn clear for freshly killed game.

"locate for any purpose any game" doesn't seem to leave a lot of leeway for "yeah, but what about using a spotlight to locate this specific type of game for this specific purpose; surely that's OK, right?!" "No."
I recently noticed the narrative power of montages and just how "movie magic" they are, as opposed to being based in reality, when I watched the BlackBerry movie. There's a really great montage near the beginning of the film where they're cobbling together a prototype device in one night for an important meeting the next day. Watching it, I couldn't help but get hyped up and excited.

As a dev, I love watching other technical people do the impossible and create something great. At the same time, the logical part of my brain kept thinking, "This is really cool, but obviously this is total fiction. No way anybody, no matter how smart they are, can put together a device like that in one night." But I went along with it because it was fun and got the narrative going. So even with my critical brain, I couldn't help but "believe" the fantasy a little bit.

On the whole, it made me reflect on how movies really do present a fictional view of reality and that's kind of the power they have. And what about all those times where I watched a movie and didn't have a background in what they were presenting and just ate it up wholesale?
Why not a tit?
This is a problem in many developed nations, the general reasoning boils down to

1. Cost of living and child care

2. Work, stress and lack of free time

3. Little to no support from society and community.

The reason this is affecting Korea, Japan and China so much is that there aren't many immigrants to offset the lack of new children being born.

There is a lot of wealth being generated but most of it goes to people who are already wealthy, so most people don't have the "luxury" of enough disposable income, free time, and support to have children.

This is not women's fault, its society's failing

>HD 110067 (TIC 347332255) is a bright K0-type star with a mass about 80% that of the Sun, located at 12h39m21fs50, 20°01'40farcs0 (J2000). Breakthrough Listen (BL) is observing additional targets selected from the Exoplanet Follow-up Observing Program for TESS (ExoFOP-TESS) in addition to the nearby star sample described by Isaacson et al. (2017). HD 110067 is valuable as a technosignature target not only because of its interest for biosignature searches. First, Earth views the system edge-on, which increases the likelihood of detecting radiation from any transmitters present whether intentional (Traas et al. 2021) or resulting from planet-to-planet transmissions which could be observed by their "spillover" during planet–planet occultations (Ashtari 2023); second, the large number of planets regardless of their position in the star's habitable zone increases the likelihood that an advanced civilization could have spread technology to neighboring planets, as has happened in our own solar system (Wright et al. 2022).

Regardless of your financials provided, the consolidation (once combined) increases their power against suppliers, workers, and consumers. The business must be kept in tension as a defense against well worn maliciousness of corporate actors.

If their costs go up (labor, food suppliers), their prices will go up (and perhaps some margin impact). Combined, they will do the same as landlords, chicken processors, pharma, and so on if allowed to do so: use their power to entrench, collude, and extract. Being in business should not be comfortable. Competition and limited corporate power is the desired end state, work backwards to implementation details.

What then? I spoke about Firefox because I am not updated on other browsers' policies. The fact that other browsers do the same does not invalidate my point, but rather reinforces it.

That's a different and refreshing perspective to look from, thanks.

I'm aware that my view is somewhat biased because I'm a solo dev which works on small to large projects by myself, and things get exponentially harder as more people mangle the same code base. That's very true.

What I was trying to highlight is basically neither C or C++ are "free for all without recourse". Esp. C++ has many features, but they're opt-in, where in Rust they're opt-out.

Also many newer developers don't understand that compilation used to take way longer on olden times even with simpler languages and compilers. Hence, the thing Rust doing today was "impossible" in the older days.

For the last time, I think Rust is a nice language, and I won't be annoyed by its limitations. What bothers me with no end is vilifying other languages and pushing rust as a silver bullet and savior. Other than that, Rust is just another tool which works for some things very well, and not very well for others.
