The page does indeed say that.

At the same time that seems like very little, it's in the range of a single large wind turbine (e.g. https://www.vestas.com/en/products/offshore/V236-15MW). I'm not convinced this will be anything but a niche application for defence or other remote outposts which for some reason cannot rely on solar+wind+storage.
I thought it was obvious that this is what I was referring to. It’s interesting that people don’t see how traveling with wiped devices sends red flags.

It’s not a barrier because there is nothing qualitatively different at 999 vs 1000. It’s just a goal.

This is not condescending to the field at all. Crossing an arbitrary goal that is very difficult to get to is still impressive. Just stop using the “breaking the barrier” phrase.

I think about Arcades[1] constantly as I walk about. Reading A Pattern Language for the first time was a revelation, because so many of the patterns put words to things I already thought or felt. Cascade of Roofs was another one like that, which explained to me something I already found beautiful.

Is it not possible this would be explained by people simply being interested in the technology and TikTok/Youtube algorithms noticing that—and that they would have placed you in the same bubble, which is probably an accurate assignment?

I doubt OpenAI spent even one cent marketing their system (e.g. as in paying other companies to push it).

Yeah, how you control the iPad seems at odds with the job it's best at (and a big customer segment that wants a simple computer)

iPad has a physical disadvantage relative to iPhones and Macs which leads to a touch experience that never quite feels as assured or 'locked in' as the others.

The reason as I see it is that both Mac and iPhone you have much greater physical device stability, and this device stability allows the software to be more fluid and responsive.

For instance, the iPhone's app switch swipe gesture work really well in a one-handed device, since things are generally in reach and you have your fingers holding on the back of the device to stabilize it. As a result, you can switch apps very quickly.

That same app switching gesture feels awkward and is often mis-fired on iPad. The fluid responsiveness of the home bar and app switcher makes the whole experience feel less solid, because the device itself is less stable in-hand.

I think it may have been a mistake to port the home bar over to iPad, and they should have gone with either a physical button-based solution, or a press and hold then swipe solution. Specifically the bottom of the device that is closest to the user should not have anything trigger actions, that's the worst. Multitasking is also too easy to trigger, but that's not quite as bad. Notification & control center shades aren't that bad.

Either you have a stable device and a twitchy app switcher, or you have an unstable device and a solid app switcher. You can't have both be unstable.

(fwiw I'm a huge iPad fan as well as worked on a new tablet computer myself. I love the form factor but recognize it's fighting an uphill battle touch-wise)

> They retracted it because it ended up causing a Striesand Effect, putting a lot of sunlight on how airlines do a very brisk business selling "lost" luggage.

... and lots of cases of "lost" luggage being due to the fact that decades after implementing paper tags, neither airlines nor bag/trolley manufacturers have gotten their asses together and worked on a standardized way to reduce instances of tags simply getting ripped off during handling.

Like, it wouldn't even be that hard. Place a long, wide recess maybe 2mm deep along the entire trolley, where the tag can be stuck in and is guarded that way against conveyor belts or other bags ripping off the tag.

And maybe invent a system where you have to scan your boarding pass and the tag barcode to leave the baggage claim area to reduce the amount of cases where people have taken the wrong bag.
Looks pretty functional, if not entirely polished - I will try this out (alongside Paperless NGX, also suggested here..) - I appreciate the recommendation, thank you!
No, it’s not equivalent at all. Nobody is asking about the unit of measure.

I would have said the opposite: if the ambitious microreactor part of their business plans fails, as is likely, it's more palatable to spin that as "we are concentrating on our nuclear fuel logistics and consulting arms" rather than a pivot. And in the energy industry in general, some level of horizontal integration is typical - the same company might drill the oil, refine it, and put its name over gas stations.

The business may well be organised as multiple companies internally, but that's not what this is about.

Being the same as something bad is bad.

There are different kinds of humans.

Some of them are your friends, and they're willing to take risks for you and they take your side even when it costs them something.

Some of them are your adversaries, overtly. They do not hide it.

Some of them pretend to be your friends, even though they're not. And that's what they modeled it on. For some reason.

I don't know why anyone thinks this will happen. You can obviously write anything you want (we have an entire realm of works in this area that everyone knows about, fiction) and yet huge amounts of people believe passed around stories either from bad or faked media sources or entirely unsourced.
A simple mode can have togglable features as well (and all made simple).

You turn on simple mode, then you turn on split screen. All controls optimized to be simple, discoverable, and no hidden controls (as opposed to a normal mode, where all controls should be fast, intuitive, and keep you in a flow).
Agreed. I’m excited about reaching a point where the experience is of being in a deep work ‘flow’ with an ultra intelligent colleague, instead of jumping out of context to instant message them.

> So people will still produce artwork.

There's zero doubt that people will still create art. Almost no one will be paid to do it though (relative to our current situation where there are already far more unpaid artists than paid ones). We'll lose an immeasurable amount of amazing new art that "would have been" as a result, and in its place we'll get increasingly bland/derivative AI generated content.

Much of the art humans will create entirely for free in whatever spare time they can manage after their regular "for pay" work will be training data for future AI, but it will be extremely hard for humans to find as it will be drowned out by the endless stream of AI generated art that will also be the bulk of what AI finds and learns from.
Didn't get the Ultima series so never experienced that one, but an Origin Systems game I loved was System Shock. Still unbeaten in my book for raw experience as an early FPS RPG... so damn scary. It had so much complexity to the plot, it really set the bar high. I don't think it was matched until 15-20 years later ... many far more popular games were pathetically linear, simplistic and mono-dimensional by comparison. Other early games which left a mark for me: Heretic (which for unknown reasons performed very smoothly on my graphics hardware - Oak?), Descent (first really 3D game, excellent gameplay and many overnight sessions with friends), Dune II (defined the RTS genre on PC), Mechwarrior 2 (strongly immersive and awesome experience with a proper joystick), X-Wing/Tie Fighter (strongly immersive). Later, Command and Conquer (first modern RTS), C&C2: A Bridge too Far (awesome top-down historic battles via modem). Ahh, these days why do all the games seem so rinse-and-repeat... I think the last one I played that really impressed was Shenzhen IO.

As someone that grew up with late-90’s internet culture and has seen all the pros and cons

You could get a simple version with little modifications, but it wouldn't really be super useful unless you potentially start adding things like lifecycle events (like mount, unmount), reactivity (state, effects).

Otherwise you might end up reimplementing those.

OTOH,Rust has shown that there is a reasonable size market for performant, safe system programming languages. I suspect it is being held back from larger adoption due to its complexity. I see an opportunity for Mojo to get into that, with a simpler model and ability to gradually opt in to more complex but high performance parts of the language.

Mojo has a good chance to target Python programmers who would have gone for Go or Java for better performance, and C++ programmers who need something like Rust, but simpler.
> A barrier instruction forces all memory operations before it to complete before any memory operation after it can begin. That is, a barrier instruction effectively reinstates sequential consistency at a particular point in program execution.

> Of course, this is exactly the behavior we were trying to avoid by introducing store buffers and other optimizations. Barriers are an escape hatch to be used sparingly: they can cost hundreds of cycles.

I may be wrong, but I think to readers who do not already know what barriers do and are, this makes barriers seem like blocking behaviours.
I'm running a SaaS for serving Python notebooks as web apps [0]. We offer widgets for notebooks and server, both as open source [1]. In open source you are managing the server instance with default Django Admin Panel. In the SaaS version, we have a dashboard for managing site (adding users, setting visibility, usage analytics), the dashboard is closed source. The open source version by default is single site, but can be switched to multi-tenant (multiple domains and subdomains) just by adding instances in the database. In case of update, sometimes it is required to update both code bases. Employees have access to both code bases.

We started with open-source first, and added SaaS offering after ~2 years. The code base split was a natural choice. At first, I didn't want to add SaaS, because managing servers is a lot of work. But, we have a lot of requests for such service, and it makes really easy to deploy notebook online (with few clicks you have unique domain and notebook running). I'm happy with this code base split.

Something that I love about A Pattern Language, and which I have seen few imitators attempt, is that it addresses a vast range of scales.

The book begins audaciously by asserting that the world should be divided into political regions of population no greater than 10 million; because "regions will not come to balance until each one is small and autonomous enough to be an independent sphere of culture".

https://patternlanguage.cc/Patterns/Independent-Regions-(1)

After this anarchist utopia, the patterns proceed to describe the distribution of towns and cities, responses to large geographic features like valleys versus hilltops, the layout of towns, suburbs, streets, sites, buildings, and rooms, all the way down to types of chairs and the half inch of trim that joins walls of different materials.

It features detours into aged care ("old people everywhere"), political economy ("self-governing workshops and offices"), culture ("dancing in the street").

Maybe the closest software work I've seen with this scope is the "blue book" on Domain-Driven Design, but even that doesn't come close to addressing the political economy of software, or the act of writing code.

And that's probably fine, but it really does put A Pattern Language in a class of its own.
> You do not need a load barrier to observe stores from other cores. You need the load barrier so your own core does not reorder loads otherwise you could see wacky loads even if the stores are totally ordered.

Yes. I mean, you need the load barrier to see stores safely. Also, in principle, since AFAIK there are no guarantees about cache invalidation request behaviour, in theory it could fail to be read forever - in which case you would in fact literally never see the writes on other cores (until you issued a read barrier).

I didn't play this that much back in the day, but seeing it now it looks extremely similar to LHX Attack Chopper from the same era. Same kind of displays and fonts, same kind of briefing.. Probably from the same studio I guess? Edit: Nope. LHX was not from Microprose but EA instead. Weird.

What I liked about LHX was that it was pretty versatile with its cameras and modes. You could focus the camera on enemy tanks etc.

It was very bad at actual helicopter combat though. The terrain was all flat and there was no scenery to hide in, no hills to sneak behind, no trees. The only objects were enemy tanks, camps etc. Later another game came out with a weird kind of voxel graphics, Comanche, that fixed all that.

Doubtful. Apple can get away with tiny iterations on smartphones because they have the brand and they know people will always buy their latest product. LLMs aren't physical products so there is no cost to switching other than increased API cost, meaning openAI won't be able to recoup the cost of training a new model unless the model is sufficiently different that it justifies people paying significantly more for.

The special thing about GPT-4o is the multimodal capabilities, all the metrics suggest that it is the same size language model roughly as GPT-4. The fact it's available for free also points to it not being the most intelligent model that openAI has atm.

The time to evaluate whether we're starting to level off is when they've trained a model 10x larger than gpt-4 and we don't see significant change.

> On a cc system, once a store is no longer speculative, it is guaranteed to be flushed out of the store buffer into the cache,

That's the thing - I may be wrong, but I'm under the impression store buffers do not guarantee anything. I'm pretty certain they do not on Intel, for example. All you read in the docs is "flushed in a reasonable time", which can mean anything.

> and a load that reaches the cache layer is guaranteed to see the last version of the data that was stored in that memory location by any coherent agent in the system.

Yes.

> As pointed out elsethread, you need load barriers specifically to order your loads, so they are needed for ordering, not visibility.

Mmm - again, I may be wrong; but I think also no guarantees about behaviour of handling of cache invalidation requests. Given no guarantee, then in theory the invalidation request is never handled (unless you force it to be with a read barrier).

When I need a set of data to be written (say a struct - something bigger than you can manage in an atomic op), I'll write to the struct, fence, then perform a throw-away atomic op. The atomic op forces a write (a normal write could just be deferred and not force completion of pre-barrier writes) and then I know my struct has gone out past the store buffer and has reached cache control.
iPhones are crazy now, there are so many types of interactions, press, hard press, double press, swipes in different directions. Press a program too hard and suddently icons start wobbling, the interface seems very undiscoverable to me.
