It seems that what happened to Intel was a lot worse than just missing Andy Grove's paranoia...

- They missed the mobile market

- They missed the gaming market

- They missed the AI/ML market

- They got multiple generations behind TSMC and Samsung in the fab business

- They lost a whole bunch of market share to AMD, including datacenter

The NY Times article is paywalled, so I can't read it, but I have to wonder what kind of fabs they are meant to be building for our (taxpayers) $8.5B ? I wouldn't have any faith in them building a SOTA fab at this point.
you're talking about cows in a HIV discussion, so I could have said "cows and napalm? we're talking about HIV!", but I'm charitably engaging with your analogy to show that evolutionary pressure is an active research area in disease treatment.
Has anyone tried installing this? It says "PDFs on all sites will have a new look in Chrome."

This makes me nervous. I'm often looking at PDFs that are embedded in a page (either grad school software for commenting on PDFs, or publishers' sites). Is it going to play nicely with those? Is this only for navigating directly to a PDF?

People get killed in the process of enforcing laws. All laws are eventually enforce by violence and that violence kills people. The state house rep who wanted to tax cigarettes didn't mean to have Eric Gardner killed but given a large number of police encounters it was bound to happen.

The way police responded to 2020 was to pull back because in general its a numbers game. Given enough encounters bad outcomes will happen. Pulling back plus the insanity of 2020 caused a rise in crime. Police are starting to reengage and crime is starting to go down.
I should say you're right about power surges and things like that. I meant to say I don't think it causes slow continual degradation as happens to batteries.
Remember that in the US at least, many dense buildings are incredibly old, from before soundproofing and such was really common.

Living in a 1900s building in Brooklyn is vastly different from living in a 2020 building in Manhattan.
Dunno. With quality laptops, the fiddliness of the platform is the laptop manufacturer's problem. My AMD Thinkpad is just as dumb (basically no performance-related options, but the preset is fine) and reliable as my previous Intel Thinkpads. And there's no reason why a CPU would run hotter at the same power consumption and cooling solution. Probably different biases in the thermal sensors or whatever.
A rounding error. It’s honestly terrifying how much wealth is concentrated in this one company.
> It's pretty indisputably piracy, whether or not it's legal/fair use/whatever.

Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word 'indisputably' that I wasn't previously aware of.

This model is trained from scratch using only public domain/CC0 and copyright images with specific permission for use: https://huggingface.co/Mitsua/mitsua-diffusion-one

Does it change anything?

If all the other models were deleted, and this was the only one left, and all future models also had to be similarly licensed, would it change even one single point?

Even if it was the only remaining model and this kind of licensing a requirement for all future work, artists would still be automated out of their highly skilled yet poorly paid profession. It still sucks. There's still no nice way to convey that.

> You built a commercial product on unlicensed data. Do you actually think the law is going to agree that that's fair use?

What do you think the Google search engine is, if not a commercial product built on unlicensed data?

The courts go both ways on this specific question with Google depending on the exact details, because nothing in law is as easy or simple as the clear-cut, goodies-vs.-baddies, black-and-white morality play you want this to be.

The fact that Stability AI have not yet been sued out of existence in a simple open-and-shut court case about copyright infringement ought to have demonstrated both this point, and also that the question "is this piracy?" is, in fact, disputable.

I wish more people understood that Blackrock doesn’t have any much of its own money to toss around.

The ESG push is from a couple billionaires and Gavin Newsome who has basically sole discretion of California’s 500 billion pension fund.

You edited this in after I replied, or maybe I missed it:

> If you have a condition that takes, on average, 1000 hours to occur, you have a 9 in 10 chance of missing it based on 100 error-free hours observed, and yet it will still affect nearly 100% of all of your users after a bit more than a month!

I understand the point you're trying to make here, but 1000 is just an incredibly unrealistically small number if we're modelling bugs like that. The real number might be on the order of millions. The effect you're describing in real life might take decades: weeks is unrealistic.
A professional manufacturer would not put any cell in series but instead would have a charger/discharger with voltage per cell, with current and temperature sensors as feedback loops.
The danger of cells in series differs with the cell chemistries.

Using a BMS is another indication they are not professional or even had an engineer design them.

Sadly I know of only a very few small professional battery pack manufacturers, certainly none of the EV or bike makers.
Here's to hoping it will be two weeks of growth next, then two months, then two years.

The sooner ESG mandates stop infecting companies, the better.

Edit: Yesterday you could have said they didn't care because it's only $4B, one day of growth. Today you can say $12.5B, or three days of growth. Yes, it's a trickle, but it might continue to grow.

thinking about my iPhone-using non-nerd family, i believe the security warnings are a good thing and should not be outlawed.

a good part of recommending a iPhone to non-technical people has always been that it does not have Android's massive security problems. it feels like the EU is doing its citizens a(nother) disservice here.

Beyond equity: How startups can leverage venture debt to fuel growth

Same, that’s why I don’t want to depend on the fuel supply chain or the regulation of a car, or the upkeep of the roads.

I know that in certain cities in China they have little lotteries on which cars are allowed to drive each day based on how their license plates start as a way to avoid traffic situations. (they still have traffic situations).

You seem to be assuming malice or bad faith here, but I haven't seen any reason to suspect that. Not to say that you're wrong, of course. You might be right. I just don't see why I should suspect it.

Particularly considering that I know multiple people who have made a similar error. The distortion that the extreme hype is generating is pretty widespread.
A reminder to anyone reading that there is no actual "opposite problem" to yours (which I'm very disturbed to hear about, hope things work out).

For now, there is no income level cut off for ACA premium subsidies, just a limit that says you should never spend more than 8.3% of your AGI (more or less) on health insurance (more or less).

This may change next year and/or in the future.
For those that don’t live in TX, this just shows how much weight the O&G industry pulls in this state. All conservative politicians in this state are heavily funded by O&G dark money and Christian zealots.
W3C Draft – Private Aggregation API
Another of Google's attempts to implant data harvesting features into the web spec. The only purpose of the proposal is to spy on end users cross-domain. It is more invasive than FLoC or the Topics API, allowing hits to be recorded for arbitrary variables. The idea is that this data will preserve privacy because it is only made available as "noisy histograms", which seems woefully incapable of addressing most objections to the data harvesting that was traditionally done with 3rd party cookies. The precise accuracy of collected data was never important to begin with.

Remind me why we assume good faith and allow Google employees to participate in the standards process, again?

This may not necessarily go anywhere since it's a draft, but it's already implemented in Chrome so I assume they will attempt to force it through at some point. I hope others are paying attention.
I argue they definitely 'changed AI' but definitely agree they didn't 'invent modern AI'.

Personally, I think both compute and NN architecture is probably needed to get closer to AGI.
I don't know what the heck you are talking about. Socialism is not the kind of bs like capitalism or communism, it has no winners nor losers everyone is in the same boat.

Anything else is just some crooked politicians, could be billionaires but don't have to, getting more rich and powerful and say whatever they have to say to keep it this way.
That is fair, my thinking with regards to 'entering' was around 'everything' in that there is a rapid increase of scope of possible threats to democracy to include things that were normally considered rather benign. This part feels recent - but it's entirely possible that I'm late to the party.

I've long thought about these kind of OS designs, and what great features they can enable (such as time travel debugging). But the non-determinism introduced by inter-CPU interactions is a fundamental limitation, hence the need to run everything on a single isolated core.

One day(^TM) I'm really keen to design a multi-core CPU architecture that allows for deterministic message passing between cores in such a way that you could get this kind of software working with true parallelism.
I 100% disagree. Teaching basic programming is teaching how computers actually work.

We're running into tons of computer literature issues right now. Lots of people coming out of highschool today don't know what a file tree is because everything they've used up until this point is in an app or browser.

We don't teach everyone how to be electricians or plumbers, but we do teach everyone the basics of how electricity and plumbing work.

It's important that people understand the basics of how the things they interact with every day work.
I genuinely can't tell if George Hotz is genius or, mid and totally full of himself.
Is this more of a limitation of our ability to communicate with the animals? If we could talk intelligibly with a crow, maybe we could teach it? Conversely, if our communication with a 7-year-old child were limited to the level we achieve with crows, could we teach the child and know for sure that they understand it?

1%-1.5% Odds to Get Acquired Within 5 Years

It gets me partway there. The thing that I really liked about Miro is that is has tools ranging from kanban boards to data tables to icon libraries and is sort of a jack of all trades sort of tool that goes beyond just drawing and adds structure to some of the elements you can put on the canvas.

This makes it really easy to transition between quick wireframes, sequence diagrams, sticky notes, to structured data, tasks with rich cards, statuses, etc. I haven’t found a good direct replacement yet.

I do need to give excalidraw another look because I think there’s a decent Obsidian integration and I could probably approach some of the things I was doing with Miro in a more Obsidian-centric way.
Yeah, since there are multiple studies that show that alcohol in any quantity is bad for you. People are (slowly) poisoning themselves as replacement for therapy or lack of a support network.
We arrested more people for 30 years and crime went down. There is loads of data that more police in the right places deter crime. All my LEO friends know who that are arresting because they arrest the same people over and over. Crime is driven by a small number of bad actors.
I mean, unremarkable UC vs unremarkable CSU seems like kind of iffy; yeah unremarkable UC is better, but not better enough to make it a strong decision criteria, IMHO. But if you say UC Santa Cruz is well-known, then there you go. That's got some prestige, but probably not a school you would consider if you were applying to schools with prestige as your big criteria, which was more of my point.

The issue with this approach is that for all but the most simple apps it is not possible to deduce the runtime element information needed to write traditional UI tests given just the source code. This can only be done reliably at runtime which is what we do. We run your app and iteratively build UI tests that can be reused later.

This should be the top comment. Don’t forget Vangaurd and State Street too.
But who was contending otherwise? You don't need it to be infinite, to be a problem all it has to do is not allow the reduction in driving because now distances are shorter and sometimes people can walk to not exceed the increase in density because now four times as many people are in the same area. Which it might not have done even without this, depending on how much more often shorter distances cause people to walk.
for me it's a problem of the tool converting in place EXT to BTRFS. Not necessarily a problem of BTRFS.
The problem — again, in America — is that residential rents are by far the largest component of unreported income. Exemptions mean nothing to petty criminals who are already not effectively taxed.

The market mechanism that precludes tax pass-through is the price is already set as high as the market will bear. If landlords could raise the rent to pass through a new tax then they would have done so already without the tax.
In the US: Fair use disregards licenses. Fair use can be found to apply, or found not apply, by a court of law. Archival of information is generally felt to be Fair use, as is Search indexing.
> are all equal to the same amount

This may be modern schooling at work. I've heard that one motivating factor for the ancient egyptian's strange-to-us mathematical style ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_fraction ) is that when they divvied stuff up, they needed to do it in a way that was more obviously fair than we do.

Example: we have four workers on our gang and need to pay them with 3L of beer and 3 loaves of bread at the end of the day. The beer is easy; just pour equal levels in three similar containers. For us, the loaves are easy too: give 3 workers 1 * 3/4 loaf and the last one 3 * 1/4 loaf. For the ancient egyptians (who might complain the last one either got smaller portions or more things) it'd be important to give everyone obviously the same portion: 1 * (1/2 + 1/4) loaf.
Nah, this is intel. They'll spend it on a dividend.

It's fine to take issue with your identity, belief systems, and way of life being changed forcibly by a global energy transition underway that you have no ability to stop. It's a religion, put simply. But to waste resources like this out of ideology? It's just sad.

Texas has a teacher shortage [1] and ranks as one of the most uneducated states [2]. This does no favors to those who need the educational system. And those making these decisions will be long dead while those impacted will continue to live the remainder of their lives sub-optimally from these decisions.

+1 this.
Intel let MBA-think drive too many decisions (ie EUV). Maybe there was some misperception there, even cultural bias.

Pat's biggest real change has been to push the company towards process leadership. They always had good designs, though perhaps also damaged by MBA-think there too.

Still not sure about the decision to get out of non-volatile memory, though perhaps that was just a scope decision. Obviously, you could make a pretty amazing AI device with a whole bunch of NVM in-package...
We didn't forget that in 2020. An increase in crime is a pretty normal side effect of a global pandemic. We are lucky that it stayed so tame despite police not doing their jobs because they are pissy about having some accountability.

You're missing some zeros.

0.00085%, if my math is correct.
Most C++ code I have seen does not even approach this level of care and customization.

True, but all of this isn't neccesary to be faster than java.

When we are talking about speed, most people mean basic out-of-the-box speed of the code without heroic efforts.

Fair enough in general. All it takes in C++ is allocating memory out of hot loops and looping through memory linearly. This basically eliminates memory allocation as a bottleneck and pointer chasing as a bottleneck. These two things alone can make a program 100x faster or more.

In C++ makes this is often the simplest possible way to do something, although unfortunately that doesn't mean programs are always done like this.
Cities are populated by people, not cars. As point A and point B become closer, people are less likely to drive.

If your mail goes to a Post Office Box in town, you might hop in your truck and pick it up while running errands.

There is a pretty profound communication gap that you seem to be discounting.

A closer analogy might be trying to teach a 7 year old who speaks a different language. Or even deeper, a 7 year old child who only knows sign language and you do not.

The communication gap makes it very hard to figure out how much is a “intelligence” difference versus just being unable to even communicate the contents of the test.

JITX – The Fastest Way to Design Circuit Boards
I'm saying the distinction between "resisting" and "pushing" isn't real.

When a rocket is accelerating and you are pressed against the back and being driven forward, is the rocket "pushing" you or "resisting" you? Either one is a fine way of describing it. The net result, though, is that you are squished into the back of the rocket in a way that's completely indistinguishable from gravity.

You may say "but the ground can never push me away from the ground." Sure, but the back of the rocket can't push you away from the back of the rocket either, and yet it is clearly pushing you through space. So long as the rocket keeps accelerating, you are being pushed forward, yet you won't feel it as a push, you'll feel it as an attraction to the back of the rocket.
