Article about processors, architectures and Linus' career and not a word about Transmeta? Missed opportunity.
To add .. the final paragraphs miss the reality on the ground. I've run into a few PhD researchers at Google and Meta at top conferences in the last 12 months. My conversations are mere anecdotal and recollections from my frail memory. I recall both Google and Meta people said they are being directed to beat OpenAI, and hence not able to pursue some of the meaningful research directions, which are not compatible with this goal.

So it is not rosy anywhere now, and I don't think it will be for a whole
MLX is not a cross-platform solution though, and it's certainly not a one-size-fits-all GPGPU SDK a-la CUDA. It's a nice acceleration option on top of Accelerate framework and MPS but it's not going to kill Nvidia (or probably even steal market-share; it's local versus server we're talking about here). At best, it's another executor to throw onto the ONNX pile of Competing Standards: https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/execution-providers/

> Rumors are that Apple is looking at using high memory M2 chips for datacenter inference -- 192GB of RAM is pretty great, yo.

The only thing better than 192GB of coherent memory is 384 GB HBM3e networked to other machines at 16tb/s: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/gb200-nvl72/

It also helps that Nvidia has deep industry buy-in and supports the server market much more than Apple does. But strictly comparing Apple's potential server offerings to Nvidia's Grace systems is a blowout; Apple genuinely needs custom hardware to stand out in the server market.

It's my opinion that Apple just can't do this. They're an entire TSMC node ahead of Nvidia and still are getting smoked in performance-per-watt by their consumer-grade chips: https://browser.geekbench.com/opencl-benchmarks

What you are missing is that the pitch is well-done and the audience seems to mostly ignore the web-native (or lighter alternatives than a full react framework approach).

HTMX is a wrapper around old functionality pitched to devs that learned that frontend "really, really needs" all the complexity. It's being used by people who never needed all that complexity for tasks that didn't need a whole frontend stack.

Of course it fits them better than the alternative that they have heard about being the only modern way to build apps (a massive frontend stack where the framework isn't even a framework anymore so we built another framework around it).

The thing that htmx users often miss is that you can have most of those nice things without pulling in htmx, htmx is definitely not right for most use-cases, htmx itself is quite the large JS dependency (and you still need to write JS to use it properly), it's not "just hypermedia", and on and on.

Personally I think the solution-space that HTMX fits in is extremely narrow between normal HTML/CSS/JS and "fuller" frontend apps (hopefully built on lighter stacks than the current react meta).

While I understand your point about the optics of it, optics should play no role in determining whether somebody is guilty of war crimes. When optics are a primary factor, war crime laws are a tool the powerful use to punish the weak.

> The vast majority of gamers game on smartphones and tablets with ARM processors.

Those are clearly not the gamers I am talking about. The gamers I am referring too are not switching to playing on mobile phones. If they are switching to handheld devices they are going with x86 devices like the Steam Deck.

There is a massive market out there of games that do not support those platforms. That are only just now scratching the surface with games like Death Stranding releasing on iPhone and Mac.

Except for Nintendo the 2 main AAA consoles are x86 based, and I have seen no rumors of that changing.

So great, there are large mobile games but lets not pretend that there is not a huge market that the future is not already here for and shows very little signs of actually changing anytime soon.

https://steamcharts.com/ that is what I am talking about. Which unless I am mistaken the only one of those in the top list that actually runs on mobile is PUBG.

> There are also gaming hits like Fate/Grand Order that don't have an x86/Windows release at all due to not even considering desktops/laptops.

That is nothing new, Pokemon GO came out in 2016. That isnt a sign that gaming is changing but that gaming is expanding to include new types of players. But the "hardcore" AAA gaming market still very much exists, and is firmly on x86 right now.

Probably because of the significant differences in browsers back then. Code didn't "just work" in all browsers. jQuery came along and became popular because it brought consistency and allowed you to write code that worked cross-browser. Then everyone used it and everything became spaghetti. React came along and was better. Now we're able to look at it all with many years of hindsight and seek out simpler approaches, without having to fight browser inconsistencies.

I miss the way the original Opera handled scaling which was to resize the entire draw surface after rendering. So everything, including pictures, kept the same relative sizes and there was no reflow or jumping around. That meant you had to horizontal scroll but so what?
Sure, and most of them are pleasant/neutral pictures -- they could just as easily be from Europe. But the headline and overall framing of these mundane images is not from KCNA, it's from their geopolitical counterparts.
I think certification institutions--from universities to bootcamps--have found that it's more profitable to focus on quantity over quality. They are producing dollar store products because the market has shown that employers are dollar store customers, despite what they say.

The more valid the cert program is as a hiring signal, the more it will restrict the quantity of labor supply, and employers don't want this; they want to churn and burn through a pile of young people--or outsource--and then throw them away when their upkeep gets too expensive.

On iOS, if devs are building with UIKit or SwiftUI, Dynamic Text can be well supported by just using parameterized fonts or font sizes alongside SF Symbols, no need to concern oneself with specific resolutions. With a little extra work, custom fonts are capable of this too[0]. Apps built this way will work well on devices with new resolutions or even form factors with little manual involvement on the dev’s part.

Oh I wasn't aware of that one.
I always thought what systems did in practice is that each node can have a variable number of logical buckets assigned to it, so if there is an uneven distribution, the physical node subscribes to more or less buckets.
This makes it so that the maximum logical bucket size is the maximum number of items a physical node can hold.
There’s a graphic with giant text that claims that “200% Zoom = 1/2 Viewport”.

If I’m understanding them correctly isn’t it worse than that? 200% Zoom leaves you with 1/4 of the space you had at 100% I think.
"put a blob of HTML somewhere on the screen, optionally replacing a given DOM node" was achievable in the jQuery era. I definitely did it in a hand-rolled PHP app where links worked as links unless you had JS, then they'd replace the #main div with the main content of that link, and I still have all my hair. A library that does it using magic attrs is an emergent pattern that took some time to break out since SPAs have sort of eaten the world of late.

Also in that era: adding onclick to elements that semantically should never have onclick and won't have correct focus behavior and won't show up in the screen reader rotor and, and, and. And now HTMX has "When a user clicks on this div" in its docs. Some things are best left in the past. That really bums me the fuck out.
As best I can tell P&G is an aptitude test that only resembles fake IQ tests and more resembles a mix of leetcoding and personality tests - probably sharing the same benefit of opacity.

Other info I found on it suggests that it’s easily gamed which is something real IQ tests are designed to be resistant to.

I’m not trying to ‘no true Scotsman’ this but it would be helpful if the company described their test at least as an intelligence test. They seem to describe it more as a personality test; “Discover the PEAK Performance Assessment from Procter & Gamble (P&G) tand get an insight into how your personal profile matches the company's needs.”

My specific focus on IQ tests is to be less opaque alternative to leetcode, the P&G assessment seems to be similarly and perhaps more opaque and thus, for now, confers the same protections from disparate impact lawsuits.
Too good to be true. Ex-crypto GPUs can be a good deal, but this smells like a scam.

There are plenty of GPU scams being run by chinese vendors. Frequently they fiddle with the firmware so an old card poses as a newer one.
Oh, you still have to worry about precedence. Consider:

Or even:

print(-123.abs())

What do those print? Do they print the same thing?

> Would it be correct to think of an ICC warrant not as a “warrant” in the traditional sense, but as sanctions?

I think it is best to think of it as a warrant because it is a standing order for any member state to arrest them. Whether those member states actually do so is not certain, South Africa for instance has shirked recent ICC arrest warrants multiple times.
> How could something be both? Palestine is either a separate state from Israel or it isn't.

I don't think this is correct. Palestine's status is disputed. Legal status isn't a physical property, it's a social one, so if many people think "A" is "B", then "A" is in some sense genuinely "B".

Considering the conflict in both contexts avoids "Oops, the entire thing is nullified because it's technically Conflict Type 1, not Conflict Type 2."

>First, we want to set up a more permanent base. Nasa refers to this as "we're here to stay"

Perhaps I've not been following Artemis closely enough, but it doesn't seem to have anything actually in progress that would directly connect to the "permanent base" idea, beyond "Well, we need to go to the moon if we want a permanent base there". But that's sort-of like saying, "Well, I need to enroll in a university if I want a PhD".

Same – when I look in the mirror in the morning to shave lol!

Whether you agree w/ the filtering or not, you want people who you aren't willing to hire (and who won't be willing to work for you) to be removed from the process as quickly and cheaply as reasonably possible.

This is why phone screens with a single person who has a general idea of what to look for exist. The key is that this person receives feedback on future interviews and their decisions and can make adjustments to exclude/include the right people.

My belief on this is that if that person isn't being told, "You let a bad one through" occasionally, they're being too strict on filtering, for example. But you don't want to hear that too often.

Think about somebody rejecting a job offer.

In most cases, many hours of people-time will be invested and wasted when this happens. So look at why was it wasted? Was salary, a company policy, benefits, or something similar a dealbreaker? If so, start bring that thing up earlier on – either in that first phone screen or ideally in an email before the first phone screen.

Of course, you're not always going to get a clear answer so this is where instinct and experimentation come into play. This is also why it pays to have a single person specialize in the phone screens – they will get many reps and opportunities to develop that intuition.
And let's say that they found their "dream" candidate that knew GWT. Technologies change and improve over time, can you imagine a place that is still using GWT, or jQuery, or backbone? Whoever they hire is going to have to learn new technologies while working there, otherwise they need to fire all their devs and go back out and hire React devs or whatever is the flavor of the day.

Even something as stable as Java has changed dramatically as it has absorbed functional and parallel concepts from Scala and Kotlin. Any dev should be hired on their ability to learn, not, or not just, on what specific tech they know now.
I don’t know you are downvoted. Aligning the personal interest vector with the companies interest vector is a huge problem that is usually underrepresented in NH comments.

Usually we only complain about the short sighting of the CEOs that prioritize short term stock gains over long term prosperity, but that also is just a specialized case of the success vector misalignment
The extent to which the test is arbitrary and gameable would make it more suspect under employment law, not less, so you're working against your own argument.
> For human spaceflight to be ruled out, automation has to be superior for every worthwhile application of human labor in space, not just some of them.

This is the case right now. There is not a single activity in space exploration right now, that humans can do better than robots.

Because here on earth, humans can breathe, eat, drink, piss and poop, without millions of dollars of equipment required to do so.

It depends on the language's semantics. Sometimes (as in Python), `target.method(a, b)` really is two separate operations, `target.method` (which returns a bound function) and then `<thing>(a, b)` which applies arguments to the result.

Even then, it's still not a prefix operation. It's postfix.

> With a powerful new emulator, Prism, your apps run great, whether native or emulated.

10-20% faster emulation
For all of the things we want to do, automation outperforms humans in space. I pointed this out in my earlier post - this wasn’t the case in the 50’s and early 60’s, so these satellites were planned to be manned (and actually were in the USSR’s case). But automation made much more sense, so the plans changed to unmanned satellites.

Perhaps this could change in the future. But at least in the present, unmanned makes more sense, which is why these things are unmanned. And historically, increased automation has lessened the need for something to be manned (which, is to be expected), so it’s likely the same will be true when it comes to space.
> declare that when a fine is larger than the company's value, the fining body simply nationalizes it and takes it over

This, again, is fines with extra steps. Another novel procedure that gives targets years in court to appeal technicalities around the APA, eminent domain and expropriation.

> at least the shareholders who permitted it are wiped out

As they would with large fines.

Corporate death penalties are nonsense invented to sidestep discussions of monetary penalties. Fines are liabilities. There is zero ambiguity around what happens to a company when it owes more than it’s worth. There is infinite ambiguity around applying a “death penalty” to fictitious entities; that is the point of this caper.
Um, err, yeah :(
Of course there is a solution. The marketplaces suck.

For example, I just want to input my resume and see all the jobs that I'm qualified for. I can do this on indeed. But then, many employers don't let me use my indeed resume to apply, I have to actually go to their site, and custom-fill everything out, and then monitor my inbox for who-knows-who might email me, or maybe not. It's a black box, there is no feedback unless they select me, which means I become lazy about filling these out and don't go to the employer's own site. And so on. There are many employers who missed out on people like me even applying, for that reason.

By the way, you might well ask why men can't find women they like and women can't find men they like. "Where have all the good guys gone?" At the same time, a woman gets 1000 suitors a week on an app, while a guy gets maybe a few answers back. And the answer is, again, that our dating system and swiping apps are completely broken. People are depressed and unhappy.

The trouble is that Israel government does not really have the ambition to destroy Hamas. Their ambition under ultra conservative lobby is to grab more Palestinian land, using inevitable backlash as an excuse to dismiss any complaints.

If the whole world stepped in, captured every Hamas militant and left, it wouldn't take more than a couple of years and somebody else would take up the arms against the Israeli occupants.

We'd have to do that AND then protect the Palestinians from militant Zionists for half a century at least to actually have any chance to solve the situation.

And since EU doesn't give a shit, US is unable to stand up to antidefamation league, rest of the Islamic countries enjoys blaming Israel but don't actually do anything, Palestinians are good as dead.
Most of them haven't been armed either, so presumably shooting everyone holding a gun not wearing your uniform is still a viable option.
Very strongly doubt it - decisions like these probably only benefit Netanyahu's rally around the flag effect. If it feels like the whole world is against you, you rally to your leaders.
Well, besides specialization - you do have 2x the jobs to choose from. And if one job area becomes weaker or goes away, the other can be your direction out without retraining.
I get why this idea has appeal, but unless you're able to get a large group to do it with great operational security (probably not achievable), I think this story leads to the organizers being endlessly harassed by the police, charged with terrorism, dying mysteriously, or some combination thereof.

And if there are enough people willing and able to conduct this sousveillance, maybe their efforts would be better organized by just trying to directly shrink police budgets.
