Are you including address translation in the area you're ascribing to the L1$ there? I haven't looked at detailed area numbers for recent Intel designs but having equal area for L1$ and L2$ seems really weird to me based on numbers from other designs I've seen.

I'm having a hard time mentally come up with a way a larger L1$ could be faster. Have more ways, sure. Or more read ports. Or more bandwidth. And I'm given to understand that Intel tags (or used to tag) instruction boundaries in their L1I$. But how do you reduce latency? Physically larger transistors can more quickly overcome the capacitance of the lines their destination and the capacitance of their destinations but a large cache makes the distance and line capacitance correspondingly larger. You can have speed differences with 6T versus 8T SRAM cell designs but as I understand it Intel went to use 8T everywhere in Nahelem for energy efficiency reasons. I guess maybe changes in transistor technology could have made them revisit that, but 8 transistors isn't that much physically larger than 6.

But in general there are a lot of complicated things about how the memory subsystem of a CPU work that are important to performance, add add a floor to how low a first level cache's latency can be, but they don't really contradict anything that was said in the article.
So what is left to do to get some visibility as an indie hacker? Spamming twitter/reddit like no tomorrow?
I have no issue with protests, full stop.

I have an issue with collateral damage in the name of a cause. I meant what I said, it is arrogant to decide "my protest is more important than ANYTHING you could be doing right now, because I said so"

It's just fucked up. Protest your face off, don't stop everyone else from getting on with their day.
Is it not dystopian for the apparatus of state to be involved in suicide? Is killing not a gross violation of the Hippocratic Oath?

Assisted dying seems an evil thing to me - all the more so because suicide is feasible without society’s involvement and encouragement. One worries that the state and doctors will at some point go from saying “you may” to saying “you should.”
Admittedly I didn't read the whole page but a quick skim of the first several paragraphs didn't produce anything with obvious ties to national socialism, what am I missing?
I don’t know. If I have learned something in the last decade about software engineering and quality is: business only care about revenue and speed, while engineers don’t have an objective way to define quality (10 engineers would give you 10 different opinions about the same piece of code).

The only moment I consider quality as the top priority is when I work on side projects (because there’s only one opinion about what quality means, because there’s no time pressure and because no one is asking me “are we profitable now?”)
It certainly was. I just wanted to solve one of my little problems :D.

And alternatives that I honestly think are better.

One reason I'm unwilling to move from Firefox right now: Recommended Extensions.

They're extensions that are checked by Mozilla employees for quality, security and privacy. Extensions have such unfettered access to my browsing, and so many have such nefarious practices that I'll only install extensions that Mozilla vets.
My understanding is that QFT is not axiomatized - it works but there's a bit of hand-waving at the level of actual proofs. There are people working on this, but currently physics is physics and maths is maths.
Are these companies operating at scale? We have a couple in my city as well. But it's one guy maintaining their own fleet of equipment. Does the cost rival gas powered companies? The companies I'm aware of that offer this service specifically market it as a premium and appeal to eco friendly consumers that want the less noise and pollution, and are willing to pay more than double what it costs to have a gas powered company do it.

Unfortunately, until the technology improves I think we have a tragedy of the commons scenario here, because gen pop is probably willing to trade the noise and air pollution for the cheaper service
Correct, I'm just highlighting that there are gaps in Rust's ownership model where local reasoning fails. They're fairly narrow compared to other languages, but you do have to know about them.
In general federal law does not criminalize homicide and manslaughter. It's only when it happens to specific groups or in very specific places.

In the surveys I have run on this topic, enterprise tech buyers are split on the issues. CEOs and line of business execs definitely want to see revenue, but almost no companies think of themselves as having successfully made any money on AI. CIOs and tech VPs on the other hand really see AI as a lever to pull increase the effectiveness of automation efforts. IT really sees AI as a cost lever.

In a study we just did on outsourcing, buyers as good as say that they expect the value from AI to be in the reduction of staff at their outsourcing providers, and there's plenty of evidence that the cost lever is what people want.

Net, in a rising cost environment organizations see more value in cost reductions than output gains, at least for most back office and IT functions.

I like the portability aspect, but between the microstutters, broken textures, and visual glitches, I'm not particularly impressed by these. I kind of feel like Java did this in the browser ten years ago, albeit at a lower resolution.

I guess it still needs work. It's not even available yet on Firefox, but I expected Chrome to work at the very least.

Edit: oh, GPU support doesn't work on Linux, that explains the weirdness. Guess I'll wait for either Firefox or Chrome to release their final releases before I start experimenting with this!
I'm not sure if SoftBank deserves the credit of assuming that their actions are based on sound logical reasoning.
I wonder why translations always tend to need an extra format or framework. Is replacing or customizing translation files after deployment a thing or could it be just (generated) compile time CODE in the used language based on a simple common format (like gettext with macros)?

I did A LOT of translation work and in the end the best, easiest and fastest solution always was a list / map of key value pairs, where key was a unique translation identifier and the value was the translation in one language optionally having placeholders (e.g. for numbers) combined with a simple macro (best case) / function / method similar to sprintf.

Even plural forms should get their own unique identifier - automatic pluralization always failed for my use cases (russian has several different plural forms depending on the context).
How do you assess the battery health?

I recently struggled with this. My situation was likely different given the outcome. I was able to prevail on both the sense of decency in the client and their marketing firm by explaining the PII ramifications of what they asked for, and was also able to prevail on how their customers would perceive it.

Not everyone has the luxury of clients and marketing agencies like that. I wasn’t sure whether or not I did until I tried it. I can’t know for sure until it’s needed whether I would have simply refused. I really wrestled with the idea of not doing my level best work as a technical implementer.

That's fine but it's about the same as you'll get from an encyclopedia also, which makes sense as that's just where GPT got it from anyway. Nothing revolutionary in the ability to read encyclopedia articles. We've had that forever.
It's really two different things. If using data to train is either fair use or not a use at all (I belive it is, it's for all intents and purposes the same as reading it), the copyright on the training data is irrelevant.

Whether weights can be copyrighted at all (which is the basis of these licenses) is also unclear. Though again I think they should be, they are just as creative a work as a computer program for any nontrivial model release (though really I think it's important to be able to enforce copyleft on them more than anything).

Also, all these laws work to the benefit of who ever has the deepest pockets, so salesforce will win against most others by virtue of this, regardless of how the law shakes out.

Perhaps I wasn't clear. It isn't phoning home to Mother like a Windows box might. :) Factorio runs, by default, completely locally.

I was using Factorio, as a single player, with the thing split into two parts: A server component, and a client component.

The data betwixt my headless server and my client was just getting too heavy at times for the 20Mbps upstream of that server.

Why so much data? Thousands of bots, constant wars, lots of things being moved around, interplanetary mining happening on a decent scale... The data transferred gets bigger as the game becomes more complex.

"But, like -- why didn't you just play it remotely like everyone else does using Steam's remote play or something?"

The latency of Remote Play sucks in ways that are distracting to me. The h.264 video sucks and has artifacts, presumably because of tradeoffs made to improve latency. My 10Mbps upstream at home works OK with Plex and hardware encoding where latency isn't important, but it doesn't work well at all for me with Factorio.

Splitting Factorio into two parts (client and server) eliminates video encoding, but it isn't completely without cost.

"But you said you had a server with a 20Mbps connection. What happened to that?"

I do. But it's under my desk at work (as is tradition), not at home. And that box doesn't have enough GPU oomph to deal with rendering Factorio.

"Right. OK, weirdo. So why aren't you just playing Factorio at home on your presumed gaming PC, then?"

Sometimes, I'm not at home or I just don't want to sit at my desk. My laptop has enough GPU to run Factorio smoothly as a client, but it does not have enough CPU to keep a moderately-complex game running smoothly on its own. And that's where splitting the game into two parts becomes worthwhile for me.

(Or, you know: Maybe I just want to play it online with a friend, like a normal person might -- but someone still has to run the server, somewhere. Some options include running that server on available hardware with available connections [for "free"], or renting hardware from Hetzner or something [not even a little bit free].

The point is: I've found that it sucks running a Factorio server with a 20Mbps upstream, even with just a single player, and thus a top-flight residential Comcast connection won't keep up. If I had 5 friends who wanted to play instead of 0 friends, that problem would be even more pronounced.

I mean. It's 2024, my dudes. What's up with this 60:1 down:up ratio?)

Nothing prevents you from working with liked minded individuals to create your own "infra". The phrase "we the people" sounds cool but in reality what you mean is "your money, my idea".

Roads is a very common argument, but none of the roads are build by "we the people". Government takes your money by force irrespective of how you think it should be spent and then a completely unaccountable red tapy system that employs otherwise unemployable people decides how to spend it. After a massive waste you have some roads which are poorly built even worse maintained.

There is no need for roads to be public infrastructure. It can be fully privatized and people be asked to pay for its use. (While entire compontent of taxes that go towards road building be returned back to the people.)

We will have better roads, less traffic and more money in pocket with that model.
I can't find the video, but I recall watching this on TV when I was younger. They found an ancient abandoned quarry site in Egypt (same one?) and brought in someone to test cutting and drilling granite with copper tools and it worked. The trick is using sand in between the copper and the granite.

Here's some still photos and captions:
https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/lostempires/obelisk/cutting.ht...

The thing that made Ancient Egypt so special and so historically significant isn't that they had amazing technology. It's that they built a coherent culture, religion, language and government. The vast construction projects they undertook were achievable because they could field massive armies of laborers and keep them provisioned for years. They built these massive structures by dint of having lots of food and secure borders.

It would do Google good to publish an AI integration philosophy to address critical issues related to AI in search. Such a document would allow for public scrutiny, which is crucial when your user base is a few billion strong and you are as influential player in the field. It would also serve as a good platform for other companies to study. Kagi has an AI integration philosophy [1], which, while modest, has successfully navigated us through the current AI cycle and I think helped our users understand what they can expect from us.

AI can enhance the search experience, but the core search functionality must be strong and robust first. An LLM grounded in search will only be as good as the search results it gets.

Google's "all-in" rollout of AI into search without first addressing these foundational principles and improving the core search experience is interesting - does it really mean they are betting the house on AI? The more I see things like this from Google and others, the more I want to go back to basics and just continue improving the core search quality.

>I also wouldn’t buy a car with 70000 miles on it. That’s the mileage when things start to fail.

California, the state with the highest EV sales especially for Tesla, mandates that batteries be warrantied for 10y/150k miles. 70k leaves most of the warranty intact.
I had the thought recently that theorem provers could be a neat source of synthetic data. Make an LLM generate a proof, run it to evaluate it and label it as valid/invalid, fine-tune the LLM on the results. In theory it should then more consistently create valid proofs.
I have a 266k mile 04 4Runner, a 250k mile 04 F250, and a 188k mile 13 Chevy Volt.
'Forever' is starting to be 350k miles in crowds that don't buy new vehicles.
My grandfather, from Belgium, suffered from mesothelioma - I flew back to see him and attended the conversations and sign offs, secondary sign offs, etc necessary for him to be able to be euthanized. He was already in a lot of pain and his quality of life was very different than the man I knew growing up. I was already back in the States when the waiting period was over, and we had a final video call prior to him being administered the medications that would ease him in to cardiac arrest -- he had deteriorated so much more in that month. Death was unfortunately the only outcome in his scenario, and giving him the ability to pass away while at home surrounded by loved ones, was a choice he had and took. I am very Americanized, having been here in the States for so long now, and it was a bit surreal going through all this, but, I am very happy he had that option.

If you look at this[1] 2023 report on euthanasia in Belgium, I don't think the numbers are anywhere near a height that it would be something I would say they "excel" at.

I'm not sure why Waymo or Mercedes gets ranked ahead of Tesla - clearly, Tesla is a few years ahead of them in terms of self-driving technology.
There's no way Mozilla can win on this. You can't charge for a browser at the scale to compete with Google, not enough people will pay. When they start to open up alternative services that actually could generate revenue, people yell at them and tell them to work on the browser.

This is 100% on the consumers, over and over open source projects receive no funding and exist by virtue of big companies subsidizing them because nobody is willing to pay for their principles.
I'd be really impressed with Mozilla if they could do the entire thing (llamafile + llamaindex) in one, or even two files. Having to set up a separate python install just for this task and pull in all the llamaindex python deps defeats the point of using llamafile.

How do you use these short video services? Are you searching for content then watching, or just "doom scrolling" while on the toilet?

Searching then watching is effectively realigning the feed to your latest and most engaged preferences.

Doom scrolling will get worse and worse as time goes on - it appears entirely unavoidable. They pick up on "positive" interaction signals such as slowing down while scrolling past a video, scrolling back to a video, letting it play more than once, even downvoting can be a sign of engagement and a catalyst for more of the same...

You are right - the algorithm doesn't care if the world burns... it just wants to maximize engagement. That, for most of the human population, means stuff that gets immediate reactions. Unfortunately that often means outrageous material.

In an ICE sure (and that is even questionable, had a '96 Honda Civic go 300+k) but what wears on an EV aside from batteries? Bearings? There's so much less mechanical crap that an EV should really outlast a gas bunner by decades. Then again all the plastic crap and junk electronics have crippled automobiles.
I mostly agree with your sentiment, but at the same time I remember being quite skeptical of the possibility of Rust getting async/await at all because I saw no way around the lack of immovable types in the language, and I thought it would be way to disruptive to add it. And then Pin came and allowed to work around that issue (don't get me wrong, Pin is a dirty hack and I hate it, but at least it works, even if it makes tge ergonomics questionable for some use-cases…).

Since then reserve my judgment on stuff I think to be impossible.
I work on my BMW all the time. Never have an issue getting a part, and no the parts are not 2-3x more expensive than an equivalent non-BMW part. People kept telling me that, they were wrong.
