> No, Qualcomm had already acquired an arch license from ARM, they had one before the purchase

I know they were making their own cores several years ago but for a bunch of design cycles they used ARM reference cores. during that time they were still an architectural licensee? Or they let it lapse and then re-licensed just before/after the Nuvia acquisition?
>>It’s ok for founders to take a little bit of money off of the table if they extend that to their employees as well. Asymmetry is where things get weird.

Yeah, if the founders don't do this I wouldn't want to work for them (not that I'm the target demographic anyway).

The cause is that they started poisoning food with iron according to the wrong numbers haphazardly patched together for the war effort (and uncritically copied everywhere else). Actual iron deficiency is virtually nonexistent, there is always enough.
Germany gets informal EU go-ahead to support gas-fired power, sources say
Yes generally thats true, but you just mentioned a massive bottleneck that all the folks doing some variant of silk road (Europe to say India) are facing - Iran and Pakistan.

I've visited Iran in cca 2017 for mostly hiking up highest active volcano in euroasia (Mont Damavand) and spent some remaining days in places like Isfahan and Yazd, and it was one of best travelling experiences ever. People unspoiled by mass tourism are a very rare experience these days, very friendly folks, everybody spoke english very well and seemed highly educated, you have ancient history all around you. These days, I wouldn't go there (to not be used in some political chess game, common people didn't change obviously).

Pakistan is more free, but more dangerous too and as a tourist you stick out massively.

There are other changes for the worse - most of Africa is massively more dangerous than say in 50s and 60s. There were famous folks who rode some basic old cars from say Egypt to South Africa and had just great mostly positive adventures, these days such a trip would be pretty much suicidal as per their own accords.
It's funny that we have solutions (eg web of trust) we've just roundly rejected them. Normally I'd say that means the solution's broken. But today I'm feeling misanthropic so I'm wondering if the solutions are fine, and the humans are broken.

Either way, the end-state in Accelerando is looking more and more prescient.

Appreciate the detailed answer. The onboarding process you outlined would be ideal indeed (especially #4!). Unfortunately I have neither the resources/power nor the political capital to demand them.

So I end up with the compromise you just mention after the points, but doing it lagged, which means they're sometimes very slow in performing some tasks and they don't ask whether there's a better way of doing it.
The Story of SMPL
I think it's just never been a concern for embedded systems, which ARM has been used for mostly. Surely there is some standardisation coming, it'll just have to take a lot of time since there a lot of parties who need to come together.
I dunno really, it honestly seemed like the theory was the point, which is so ass backwards that I just couldn't handle it.

Note that this all happened before the replication crisis, but I 100% wasn't surprised, having been shocked and appalled by the statistical methods used in "top" papers.

As Andrew Gelman notes, peer review doesn't help if all of your peers are wrong about the same things.
Thanks - glad she found closure and also happiness in the end.
Qualcomm probably negotiated their architectural license before Nuvia existed: They had at least one (for an older arch) in 1998!
As a transitional fuel source, gas turbines seem like a good choice. I still find their decision to decommission nuclear odd but having done so and with no appetite to reverse a gas fall back works fine. Easy to deploy, well understood tech and the least offensive of the carbon intense electricity sources.

They can sit on standby for ages and be up to load inside the window battery stacks would drain on. That's all you need and the battery can arbitrage and do FCAS outside of those times.

I think the point is that there are surprisingly many applications where the advantages outweigh the issues with concurrency and featureset.

Afaik the Ex Apple folks did not use the ARM cores - they developed their own from scratch after the learnings they got from Samsung for their first ARM SoC in the iPhone and later their own A series.
It makes for dramatic headlines, intended to scare Qualcomm customers into bringing pressure to bear on Qualcomm to settle with ARM.

The laptops are supposed to make their retail debut in the next day or two.

I think a court would be crazy to accept the demand from the headline which doesn't benefit either litigant.

Sadly, in today's era of "get stories out as quickly as possible" style journalism (and quickly declining traffic + wages for the industry as a whole), actual fact checking is far less common than it needs to be. If a story looks remotely credible, then a lot of publications will think that's 'good enough' as a source, no matter how obvious the problems would be with a bit of further investigation.
Xclippy looks nice. Upvoted your PH.
Both sides are playing hardball. The likely outcome is probably a settlement and all the legal wrestling is just negotiation tactics. We're talking about two companies whose primary business model is licensing intellectual property; so they both know how to play this game very well. Neither Qualcomm nor ARM directly manufacturers or sells products; they both make money from licensing stuff to third parties. And it looks like Qualcomm is cutting some corners there and is now putting their customers on the spot with this. Which no doubt is not going down well with those.

So, my guess is that Qualcomm will try to eventually fix this by throwing money at it and striking some deal with ARM. The question is just going to be how much. ARM is just twisting their arm (no pun intended) with this. But I agree that at face value they are well within their rights to escalate this. And given that their core business is selling ARM licenses, making sure that they get their money from Qualcomm kind of is their core business.
I tried a bit, but with not AGI. You can start to think how much would coast each request to your LLM. I stopped on that step.

Do not believe Ukrainian numbers any more than you believe Russian numbers.

One thing we have learned from this war is that a core of genocidal right wing nationalists makes you country extremely difficult to defeat. With the current recruitment crisis in the West I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see a push from the agencies to make future generations more right wing.
I love SQLite, so please don't think that I'm a SQLite hater, but:

I've never seen SQLite used in a setup which multiple machines connect to the same database over a network.

For example: A web application with a web server, a worker/job server, and a database server.

In these instances MySQL or PostgreSQL seem to be much better choices.

So will SQLite ever be able to "take over" in these scenarios?

I’ve heard this a few times. Could you elaborate why? Surely at that point, less you are hired to a very senior role, you are going to get a very small equity % and a lot of the capitalisation growth has already been priced in? In exchange it is far less risky.

Do you just go for the market salary and treat the equity as a minor plus?
As an early stage engineer that was bought out by a FAANG, I can assure you that most of the hype surrounding buyouts is mostly an exaggeration.

Sure some people get millions, but most people do not, even early stage engineers.

Think about it, you as an engineer, have deliberately avoided working at $bigCorp, and are about to be given $5m in shares. Would you continue working at $bigCorp? no, you'd take the money and fuck right off.

Ok Ok you say, but look at the headline buyout figures Google buys a company for "450 million" that startup having raised 65m in capital for a valuation of x.

so, you as an employee have an option for 0.1%. Awesome, you're gonna get 450k right?

No.

The 450M is the headline figure, The PR figure. Its not actually how much the company is bought for (well it rarely is)

Google will pay off the 65M from investors, plus some amount, maybe give some shares. This will value the company at say 85-100M in terms of cash paid for actual shares.

oh sweet, so you'll get 0.1% of 100M right? well not always. There is debt seniority and weird structures that mean that certain investors are paid more per share than others.

So it might mean that the pool of employee money would be 10M or 1M. or even none. The structure is normally bespoke and deliberately opaque.

Ok, so fuck, not that much money.

If you are lucky, you'll get a job offer from google. This is where the head line figure comes in. Say Google pays 100M for the actual company, in actual cash, the rest of that headline figure comes from share offerings.

That is, if you join google, you'll get the standard level of pay, plus the normal share offer. However you'll then get an additional share offer from the headline figure. This could be double, or many multiples of the normal share offering.

TL;DR:

The headline buyout figure for startups is mostly fiction. You'll only get lots of money, if you are part of the 0.01% that IPO and stay long enough to get the full offering, even then thats not a given. The second best outcome is getting bought out and serving your golden handcuff period.

Put yourself in the shoes of Elon.

The challenge of EVs are mostly behind us. It was hard to get the first EV off the ground and make them mainstream. He enjoyed the challenge.

But in 2024, Chinese EVs dominate. Making another Tesla model is not interesting to him and it won't really move the needle for Tesla nor would it stave off Chinese competition.

So he's off to the next shiny thing which is AI and space.

Flip it around - it becomes a condition of the deal happening imposed by investors, who themselves are motivated to present the best deal to founders, and to have founders less economically stressed. No secondaries - no deal, and that doesn’t help anyone.

Autograms: Self-Enumerating Sentences
The licenses provided Nuvia access to specific Arm architecture, designs, intellectual property, and support in exchange for payment of licensing fees and royalties on future server products that include processor cores based on Arm’s architecture, designs, or related intellectual property.

Arm provided preferential support for Nuvia’s development efforts, with Arm seeking to accelerate research and development in next-generation processors for data center servers to support that sector’s transition to Arm technology.

This is from the legal filing.

NATO isn’t the only supplier to Ukraine, and NATO has no command authority over Ukraine and its forces. The idea that this is a ‘NATO’ proxy war is ridiculous and denies the agency of a democratic nation.

The US could only green light strikes on Russian territory with American-made weapons like ATACMs, it had no authority over those supplied by others or produced by Ukraine. This is clearly shown by the fact that Ukraine was hitting Russian territory using its own domestically produced drones long before the US gave the green light to do the same (albeit only in Belgorod) using US weapons.

This isn’t unique to the US: Countries routinely place limitations and restrictions on the uses of their weapons as a condition of sale, especially Western countries. For instance when Switzerland sold Pilatus trainers to South Africa it required a legal commitment from South Africa to never arm them and use them in combat missions. Countries also usually forbid retransfer or resale without their permission. These are often stipulated in the End User Certificate.

Putin and other Russian officials have made many claims to many audiences, often contradicting each other. But when you analyse the most consistent and those that align most consistently to codified doctrine you’ll find that it’s all about Russian hegemony over the former USSR territories, and its revanchist aims to regain lost power. Once again, former empires have no right to their former colonies, and that includes Russia regarding Ukraine.

Ukraine was not anywhere near close to joining NATO in January/February 2022, its request for admission was stalled and key NATO countries had made it clear that it wasn’t going to go anywhere. Ironically, it’s Russia’s invasion that provided the impetus for the Ukrainian accession to NATO to move forward, even though it’s still a long way away.

Joining the EU was much more likely and was a key foreign policy goal of the Ukrainian government before Russia invaded. It remains one now.

As for the US, its economic and political power is declining much faster than its military power. If it really was such an imperialist state it would seek to use that military power to restore its economic and political power, aiming for full hegemony rather than just influence. It doesn’t because American society would not support that kind of approach, having moved past the age of annexation by force.
How does ARM license the ISA? Isn’t this cloneable like the shape of an API? Intel never permitted the 586 pentium clones. Why does ARM get this veto if the cores are developed from scratch?

I understand that in the Nuvia case they were not developed from scratch. I just don’t understand why Apple and Qualcomm don’t just remove ARM licensed tech from their chips and maintain ISA compatibility with clean room implementations.

What is stopping that?
To me, this sounds like a major blunder from the part of ARM's legal team.

Acquisitions and mergers happen all the time. How it happened and there was not a clause in the licencing agreement to explicitly cover these cases?

They probably pay 7-figures for some of their legal team that failed to see this coming.
The flip side of this is that making a store harder/slower to navigate makes it more frustrating.

Classic examples would be escalators: They can be arranged in an alternating pattern so you can enter the next "up" escalator as you exit one, or to make you walk around the escalator tower before you can take the next one. Or, in a particularly frustrating mall, scattered randomly throughout the building (different locations on each floor) so you also have to search for it first.

This definitely makes the customer see more of the product/mall... but especially these extreme forms also make the customer (subconsciously or consciously) hate the place and avoid it in the future. I've noticed malls and department stores ease up on these kind of tactics over the past decades, probably because they realized this effect.

Which also makes me wonder: The amount a customer that enters ends up buying is likely easily measured, while the long-term effect on customer attraction/retention is much harder to measure. So it may be one of the many situations where the thing that is easily measurable gets attention while neglecting a possibly more important, but harder to measure thing. Is there a term for that effect?

Germany has made many strategic errors in many domains over the last 20 years because of political and ideological priorities over pragmatism and long term thinking.

I love mucking around with canvases and videos, so I will certainly be checking this out!

On a selfish note, as a canvas library developer/maintainer, I do have questions around your choice of Motion Canvas: what attracted you to that library in particular (I'm assuming it's the Editor, but could be wrong)?

On a broader note, my main interest in canvas+video center around responsive, interactive and accessible video displays in web pages. Have you had any thoughts on how you'd like to develop Revideo to support these sorts of functionalities?

An accidental lock-in feature of the Apple ecosystem
From the article:

> PITCHf/x is a video-based tracking system that is permanently installed in every MLB stadium and has been used since the start of the 2007 season to track every pitch in every MLB game. The system consists of two 60 Hz cameras mounted high above the playing field, with fields of view that cover most of the region between the pitching rubber and home plate

> Depending on the specifics of each installation, the pitch is typically tracked in the approximate range y=5-50 ft, resulting in about 20 images per camera for each pitch

So the raw data is from two 60 Hz cameras build some time before 2007, each taking 20 pictures of a small, fast moving object tens/hundreds of feet away? The error bars on that raw data must be significant, especially when a "knuckleball wobble amplitude" of just a few inches would already be very effective.

If I'd design that PITCHf/x system today, I'd add a handful of 80 GHz radar modules, and cameras on two more axis.
Even if ARM's legal reasoning has a relatively low chance of success, I suspect the likely difference in the value of the contracts is enough that it's worth them trying anyway, either to cause enough of a threat to extract some kind of settlement from Qualcomm or for a chance of a really big payout. It's probably not a great long-term plan: such actions are likely to hasten work on RISC-V alternatives at Qualcomm and all the other manufacturers witnessing the attempt.

As an aside, this is also why people keep saying that functional languages are "not much slower" than traditional procedural languages against all evidence.

People that learned and like LISP probably did so in the 1980s or 1990s when CPUs were much simpler, memory access times were constant, and "cache lines" weren't even a thing yet! Back then, randomly jumping around memory following a linked list was only about 2x slower than reading an array. Linked lists were much faster for some incremental operations, so the net result was that the two were very comparable.

These days arrays can be processed using AVX-512 instructions at a rate of 64 bytes per clock or even higher, whereas even one missed cache entry of a linked-list pointer will stall the CPU for several hundred cycles, during which time the array logic could have chunked through kilobytes.
