Sorry if this is a dumb question, but why are operating losses expected? Aren't chips in high demand compared to supply? Couldn't they charge high?

I’ve read a few pieces by these folks ... but always seem conspicuously light on any answers.

Have you read the book they published back in 2019?

“I have a secret plan to save the urban fabric of America, but I can’t tell you until you pay me $300.” What a grift.

The Kindle edition of their book is $16.
Because you used bytes mode, not alphanumeric mode
Thanks for the correction! I read that poorly:

>> The new rate applies to restaurant chains with more than 60 nationwide locations.

So just with McDonalds, about 70,000 employees, but this includes managers [1].

[1] https://corporate.mcdonalds.com/corpmcd/our-stories/article/...

So net operations increase = 70,000w * US$4/h * 1560h/w = US$436,800,000

Which means a Big Mac, if the price absorbed the wage increase alone would need to go up net approximately $8.33. $8.33 * 115BM/d * 1250r * 365d = US$437,064,687

$8.33 + $5.19 = $13.52 for a Big Mac (again, prices could be spread more evenly).
If you have enough access to my device to steal my cookies, couldn't you also just do whatever you wanted to do from my device, rather than taking the cookies to your device and then doing it from there?
You have an uphill battle against mature free options. Charging like you’re Retool right now guarantees that no one will even bother with you.

Quite honestly, I don't see much value in the non-AI part. I can replace all of that with a free Supabase instance and a free Next.js repo-starter.

You should make an open source version for free without the AI. And just charge for the AI.

This article uses “billions” incredibly loosely. First of all, I wouldn’t call 1.5B “billions”. Second, 1.5B pounds is almost certainly under 1B wheels.

Fun read otherwise.
So what we need is bundling of orders based on
1) restaurant location
2) recipient location
3) time

And if that could be done, maybe just 2 orders to start with (for example carpool benefits for 2 people), that will be awesome, but if you could pool 4-5 orders, that will make bank !

I guess this model, if scaled purely based on the model, will imply restaurants co-located (same parking lot) will benefit from such an arrangement.

Globalization was largely a response to environmental movements in the U.S. We offshored our pollution generation.
Yes. That’s the point. Edit: that’s too glib. The restrictions currently aren’t technical, they’re enforced by what is and isn’t allowed in the App Store. It’s perfectly possible to build the software on iOS today, you just can’t distribute it within apple’s rules
My model recommends the warming function for up to 40 hours, but I'm sure Japanese people who eat rice every day get poisoned all the time, and we should all follow FDA guidelines that say to throw out all of our food if it is in the fridge for longer than 2 days or out at room temp for 4 hours. No wonder people think that cooking or grocery shopping are intimidating with that mentality...

Thing-a-Month
Analysis covering historical investment returns by asset class (from 1985 up until Q1 2024) for 12 asset classes — covering stocks / bonds in the U.S., Canada, and beyond.

Insights for year of 2023:

- All 12 of the tracked asset classes increased in value in 2023 (on a real total return basis)

- An investment in U.S. large cap stocks was the top performing asset of 2023, returning +22.1% (after suffering a loss of 23.6% in the previous year)

- Global stocks outside of the U.S. delivered relatively weaker returns (compared to the U.S.) — with International stocks at +13.8%, Canadian stocks at +8.1%, and Emerging market stocks at +5.2%

- Cash (T-bills) was the worst investment of 2023, returning only 1.6% on an inflation-adjusted basis

Other insights:

- 11 out of 12 of the asset classes have been a top performer in at least 1 year on record (high yield US bonds being the odd man out)

- On the flip side, 9 out of 12 of the asset classes have been the worst performer at some stage (Canadian stocks, Canadian bonds, and high yield US bonds being the only assets to avoid the dishonour)

- It’s interesting to see how “US large cap stocks” have performed relative to “All US Bonds” over time. While stocks were down in the years of 1990, 2000-2002, and 2008, bonds actually made gains in those years — this provided valuable portfolio protection to investors who were diversified

- Over the whole period of the analysis, the best asset classes have been: U.S. large cap stocks (+8.3% per year), US small cap stocks (+7.4% per year), and emerging market stocks (+7.1% per year)

Yes, Notion as gotten a ton of "project management" types of stuff, including an integrated calendar now that Cron is part of it.

The numerical ID feature looks nice. Notion tables aren't great, but it I guess it could work on task databases as well ? I'll try.

> are you hiring?

I look around every few years to see what would my options be, just in case. Asking how they manage their project feels more and more like the best reflection of their work environment, and very few have a coherent explaination of why they're using X method...

We're hiring, but it's a pretty niche japanese company, you probably already crossed it if you're in the space.
It's the epitome of "do things that don't scale". (Just, after enough years and size, you eventually need to scale.)
The point about stitching together resonates.
My own anecdote is the opposite: I can't sleep well if I don't regularly exercise. I think we all kinda know this, but it's good to see more data to refine our intuitions.

The renderlet is a bundle of WebAssembly code that handles data flow for graphics objects. Input is just function parameters, output writes serialized data to a specific place in Wasm linear memory. With the Wasm Component Model, in the future can use much more complex types as input and output.

LoadFromFile() - Instantiates the Wasm module

Render() - runs the code in the module, wander uploads the output data to the GPU

Functions on the render tree - do things with the uploaded GPU data - like bind a texture to a slot, or ID3D11DeviceContext::Draw, for example.

There's some nuance about shading. In the current version, the host app is still responsible for attaching a shader, so should be no issue using the data in a deferred shading pipeline. In the future, the renderlet needs to be able to attach its own shaders, in which case it would have to be configured to use a host app's deferred shading pipeline. I think it is possible, but complicated, to build an API for this, where the host and then the renderlet are both involved in a lighting pass.

Of course, if all shading is handled within the renderlet, it entirely the concept of deferred shading, and this becomes an easier problem to solve.
Can you elaborate on this? As I understand quantum teleportation is not real teleportation as people popularly understand teleportation - no piece of matter is teleported, yet it is real in the way we need - information is teleported instantly. In case I'm wrong, kindly hint on what is actually meant under quantum teleportation when we encounter papers about it.

I don't think there can be 1 fits all solution. Feature flag is at its core is nothing but a piece of your product code.

There are millions variants to implement a product, even within the same environment/infra constraints.

If you elaborate your specific goals and products - that may be a very fruitful topic.

A very great tribute. I particularly liked this line:

> "He was the first person to understand that security problems are often actually economic problems."

I had a wise, old professor in college who taught us, almost as a side comment, that every technology and business problem was actually a people problem under the covers. If you could deal with the underlying human problem, you'd often take care of most, if not all, of the superficial tech/business problem. I think this and Ross's viewpoints are a very important principle.

A 750 was a nice 'personal computer' in 1987 (I ran 3 of them in that year, along with a 780 and a bunch of different microVaxen/Vaxstations) especially if you had plenty of memory (8MB was comfy, 14MB max). CPU wasn't so fast (less than 1MIP), but I/O was well engineered and well matched so it 'felt' responsive. It was reasonably fast with 1 user, not terrible up to maybe 3-4 power users and significantly more just doing email/text processing/etc. And the CPU only weighed about 100lbs (without rack & disks)!

The 784 was more capable (with caveats), but 1) only a handful were ever built (less than 10?), and 2) it was huge, both in physical size and power consumption (it's basically 4 x 11/780s with a custom interconnect cabinet). And as I understand not terribly reliable. You might be thinking of the 785, which was an improved 780, so it was still big and power hungry, but lots more were built.

"Expenses" and "revenue" are rather fuzzy concepts in this case: Intel's foundry business (as in, Intel manufacturing chips for somebody else) is still mostly aspirational; almost all of the chips they make are Intel chips, and there's a lot of wiggle room for how much of the revenue from selling Intel-branded chips gets assigned to their foundry business vs eg. the Client Computing Group or the Data Center and AI division. If they were reporting Intel Foundry revenue only from outside foundry customers (they're not), then Intel Foundry would never be able to come close to profitability.

Walmart and Sam’s Club have both had this for years. It is only available at Walmart if you have Walmart+.

following my business successes - which can include passing through profits outright, and or exits - I’ve done “thought leadership” and advisory to other companies, I’ve travelled around Europe for extended periods of time half way doing advisory but mostly living out a dream I wanted and enjoyed, I’ve formed funds and managed capital with great legal counsel, fund administrators, the works. I’ve had periods of illiquidity, even periods where liabilities were greater than assets, right now I like to get paid to do nextjs, and rust, and a couple other stacks.

turns out, you don't have to pick a lane. people take the linkedin and resume I choose to show at face value, which only shows IC roles and an Engineering Manager role.

Not a dumb question, but because they are so expensive to build, fabs have a high upfront cost before they can start to turn a profit. Oddly, the older a fab is, typically the more money it will make you.

It's also a big part of the reason as to why so many fab companies have died out. Building a new fab with the latest tech is extremely expensive. If you have a couple of big swings and misses, you can easily burn a tremendous amount of your capital.
The tsunami reports I've heard here on the north coast are that it ended up being less than 1 metre tall, so luckily nothing to worry about.
In a world where inter-company expenses [1] charging out for IP use, accounting & HR services, strategic direction etc. etc. exist, something so simple as expenses being larger than revenue being an accurate economic measurement is wholly unreliable at best. Intel market analysts will be starting with the statement of cash flows and reconstructing how they think it should all look from there using the financial statement footnotes and all their other research & knowledge.

Exacerbate unless the tools get much better.

Really, I don’t think they fully replaced the juniors as only some of the job is code generation. A lot of basic support and edge case handling is falling on the intermediates who often now aren’t producing much of anything due to the support burden. Many of them are dissatisfied.
I guess what I’m trying to puzzle out is what their ideal city looks like. So apparently it isn’t New York nor Houston. Is it downtown Palo Alto? Is it one of the master-planned communities along 30A in the Florida panhandle? Those are both pretty pleasant, walkable places, but they don’t scale (and the price of admission starts in the mid seven digits, or maybe more, I dunno).

I’m reading some more of the pieces on their site, but like you, I can’t really tell what exactly they would propose as a real world solution that is scalable for everyone.
> It’s amazing how insecure everything was.

Something I really miss from that era that I'm confident we'll never get back (for good reasons) is the open and transparent nature of everything. Everything felt hackable and based on trust. Where as today we can't trust anyone.

It's tempting to say peoeple were nice and didn't abuse the system, but I think more likely some people just didn't know the amount of money they could make from the abuse.

Wikipedia itself isn't ideal for this, but I keep waiting for some major news institution to migrate away from the ancient newspaper article format and towards something more wiki-like for covering stories.

I think you could productively fit any kind of news coverage into a wiki article plus a stream of recent updates.
> Why?

Many things that we do are not protected by constitutional rights. Because of weak protections, those activities are subject to be attacked or go away entirely at any time. LGBT marriage and abortion are two examples that get significant press coverage, but there are so many activities that deserve protections.

Archiving the history of our species, as long as it fits within certain parameters, should be fundamentally protected. It's important for the future to understand us [1]. The internet is one of the most observable means of taking measurement of our lives and zeitgeist. Keeping snapshots is important.

[1] I don't think this is a self-important delusion. I also don't think it's impossible for this reasoning to coexist with statements that decry social media as drivel and garbage. Our outputs can be both valuable and "worthless" at the same time.
If the system did end up working as designed, wouldn't they get the shaft anyways?
why doesn't IFUNC work on Linux ARM64?
Intel server chips are not competitive with AMD chips. On mobile, they are not competitive with Apple and soon Qualcomm.

Therefore, this drop in foundry revenue stems from the fact that they’re making fewer chips for their in-house design company.

Also, as others have said, they’re not making many AI chips due to lack of competitive in house designs and no external customers yet.
.NET does have signing capabilities for assemblies...but you have to trust who signed it. In theory that's a bit of extra protection, but in practice how do you know who signed it was trustworthy in the first place.

I like .NET but I often feel it's safer than node.js by accident, because the range of packages you need to get something running is much smaller because the date/time classes are sane and things like networking and security are built in rather than imported. But there is no getting around the fact that you're still vulnerable to all the same supply chain attacks as Javascript.
> "Just release server binaries" kinda implies there is a simple .exe file that an average user can run to host their own server.

Well, it's not like they didn't make it. This could very well be part of the initial requirements.
I agree that bugs aren't as well specified as the example. But a specification for a new feature certainly can be.

I'm going to give it a try on my side project and see if it can at least provide a hint or some guidance on the development of small new features in an existing well structured project.
This comment author was not correct, but this question prompted a lot of great answers and improved the quality of the discussion. Per HN rules, this comment should be upvoted, not downvoted.
TSMC evacuated their facilities, hopefully there is no damage there and no serious injuries or deaths across the country. Taiwan has said there are a number of Chinese warships that have entered their waters as well, supposedly willing to lend aid...though not sure if that's a good deal to take.
Probably try to implement a much better integrator. Some energy preserving higher order integrator should serve a lot better.
Note: I'm a left leaning liberal, who thinks that our system is fucked when it comes to taxes and how we distribute money...

Spend about a day catching up on where the Ukraine conflict is.

Up to speed: good! You will have noted that not having domestic chip production has fucked Russia, and the restrictions on china are to inhibit pass through and limit what they too can do.

You dont give a potential advisory (china) leverage (Taiwan as the sole place chips are made).
