ARM has patents on various parts of the ISA itself (the same applies to x86: the main difference is x86 patents are well enough split between AMD and Intel they are essentially forced to cross-license). You can't make a compatible version without a patent license at least. (And the ISAs have evolved since they were first made, with new patents involved: you can now make a very old version of an ARM core without a license, but such a chip would be irrelevant for most anything today).
Yeah so I never know how to say that without going into too much detail. I turned it from a blank into a pen.
I’m one of the authors of this article, great to see it shared to HN. It’s been interesting to see how the article has resonated with people, and that many of us are feeling the same way about the internet we know and love.

I think one of the responses to the growing phenomenon, especially as LLMs make fake content even easier and more convincing, is that we will see increased uptake on platforms like Discord where you have a curated and more intimate circles. Or maybe those like Musk will get his way and platforms like X will require paid verification!

Yes PostgreSQL (and others) are a better choice in these scenarios. I think the point is that a lot of applications/systems might not even need this separation since a single server would be able to handle the load. In this case a local SQLite database could be a serious performance enhancement.

A lot of factors play into this and it certainly does not work in every case. But I recently got to re-write an application at work in that way and was baffled how simple the application could be if I did not outright overengineer it from the start.

That is just anecdata. But my guess is that this applies to a lot of applications out there. The choice is not between PostgreSQL/MySQL and SQLite, but between choosing a single node to host your application or splitting them between multiple servers for load balancing or other reasons. So the choice is architectural in nature.
The industry is looking and taking notes: Qualcomm a major IP holder doesn't want to pay for IP while ARM prefer money over the success of its ecosystem.

RISC-V immediately comes to mind as a long term alternative. Thank you ARM and Qualcomm.
Not necessarily, some of us have those career jobs while keeping the adventure level relatively high. You can still go backpacking in remote parts of the world, even 1 week trip can give you tons of experience if planned well.

Some of us do extreme sports impossible in 60s or 70s, and thats a healthy dose of risk and adventuring (ie paragliding, diving or sport climbing for me).

Some of us don't live in city centers, not because we outright hate it, but simply have a better and healthier choice (not giga cities just big enough so commuting when needed is still sane, wild forests and mountains nearby or at doorsteps).

But this all doesn't come on its own, one has to fight for it a bit, and be a bit lucky too, just like with rest of life.
Writing code is more fun than reading. Trying to solve problems is more fun than researching previous problems. It takes a special kind of discipline to get to the point where your first instinct is "Let me book out a few days and survey the literature" instead of "Let me use all of my IQ points to try to implement an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of $ANYTHING".
We burn a lot of the gas that comes out of the ground off at the well.

> My interpretation is obvious breach of contract by Qualcomm

I’d be inclined to say the opposite based on the German article linked in this articles. Qualcomm has its own architecture license in addition to the now expired Nuvia one and can’t really figure out what arm is objecting to precisely aside from wanting money

When Apple announced the M1 Pro/Max, I predicted that they would now hold a monopoly on good laptops for the next 5 years, based on where the PC market was at the time. (Good defined as high-performance, long battery life, and without other serious compromises such as weight)

We haven't seen independent reviews of these Qualcomm chips yet, but not even 3 years later and it sure looks like the entire PC market is about to leapfrog Apple. Intel's Lunar Lake looks like it's getting pretty close too.

Being a fanboi for a particular company/tech helps no-one except shareholders. Capitalists don't need to invest in competing if there's no-one competing with them.

I suspect this is more of an ambit claim from ARM to extract better terms from Qualcomm
Justus here, I'm one of the co-creators of Revideo. I agree that there's a high similarity. We unfortunately only noticed this a few weeks after launching - our logo was inspired by the tracks you see in video editors.

Given that we are not a Retool competitor and operate in very different spaces, I would think and hope that this is not an issue for the Retool team

How would you negotiate that in practice? Would it be reasonable to ask for it to be in your contract? How would you suggest wording it roughly? Sorry I'm inexperienced with this kind of thing and have no idea how I would go about negotiating for it.
A good analogy would be nature: Is it making a mistake when something created by it fails in some way? Not really, since there's no conscious intent behind it and thus no correct or incorrect reasoning or a guarantee of either. LLMs share that trait.

And then when you fixed it, did everyone freak out that it was lower?

I've been at big companies where you realize a subtle bug/design causes higher revenue and nobody wants to touch it and be responsible for loss of revenue. Things like the free plan button being just below the fold on average resolutions, calculating state incorrectly that causes discounts to not be applied, someone forgetting to add a "false" that causes people to be prompted to signup when signup isn't technically needed, etc.

I wonder if you felt the same way; like people would blame you for there being lower numbers?

For example Apple’s NPU can’t do FP32 precision, it can only do FP16 and less.
What's the point of this? If you have multiple applications on multiple systems accessing the same DB, it seems to make more sense to just use PostgreSQL, since it's specifically designed for concurrent operation like this, instead of trying to handle this in your own custom backend code.
I used Founders Preferred shares to get liquidity at the A (for a now defunct startup).

In our case, we offered all vested employees the option of selling in the same round on the same terms.

I personally don’t recall any disclosure requirements at 10 people; however, we didn’t have that many participate so perhaps it didn’t apply.

In general, Founders Preferred does layer on the preference stack but also hopefully by a relatively trivial amount to the overall funding size.

I always just assumed that the Entrepreneur, Founder & CEO had come up with an amazing idea like "build an startup (Ai probably) that makes a lot of money" and got some funding - but don't know what software is, don't know how to code and isn't really sure what Ai is does or can be used for; so need someone to put the pieces together to execute their vision with (for) them.

The killer feature for me with SQLite is as an application file format: https://sqlite.org/appfileformat.html

It has SO MANY advantages over every other solution. It can do the "just a bundle of files" thing, but it can also do all this rich data as well. And unlike most "just a bundle of files" formats, it's incrementally updatable, it's so good. We're using this in production right now and couldn't be happier with it, wouldn't dream of using anything else at this point.

One notable application that uses SQLite for this is Audacity: all the stuff you record is streamed into a SQLite database (the project file). This is a huge reason why Audacity is so good for recording long sessions, and why it's so resilient against crashes and failures.
yeah it's off somehow.

No need to imagine. It’s already here. Look at all the open weight models - all big corporate developed and then shared because it suited their corporate objectives.

I remember watching that video. About 10 years ago. Fascinating then, fascinating now.
It's not a particularly unusual situation: it's very common for a database to effectively be entirely owned by an application which manages its own constraints on top of that database. In that circumstance sqlite is pretty interchangable with other databases.

If you have multiple applications on different servers communicating with the same database, then yes you would need to run a database such as PostgreSQL.

If you run a single application on a server that needs a database you might want to consider SQLite, regardless of your needs for concurrency/concurrent writes.

PIO actually came in handy for me when interfacing with an x-ray sensor which had 12 or 14 bits long UART data frame- not many micros have such a flexibility in their UART peripherals.
That doesn't tell the whole story tho. It's a 4 year old kid that has been thoroughly conditioned to always be positive and affirming in their reply, even if it means making something up. That isn't something kids do usually—it's not something humans usually do, at least not the way ChatGPT does–and that may be part of why it's so confounding.

It's not just "I don't know", really. It feels like OpenAI ingrained the essence of North American culture into the model (Sorry North Americans, I really don't mean this in a demeaning way!), as in, the primary task of ChatGPT is supposed to be to make its users happy and feel good about themselves, taking priority over providing accurate answers and facts.

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.

I think any Qualcomm work on RISC-V is mostly for show. It's an empty threat. Qualcomm can't move to RISC-V because they don't have the power to drag an entire industry to optimize software for RISC-V.
Same here, I eat spicy food all the time but these are on another level. I will eventually finish a bowl, but my lips and throat were always sensitive for a few hours afterwards. Using a half or a third of the sauce sachet is more than enough for me. I stopped buying them because as much as I enjoy spicy food this flavour was just pure extreme self-torture.
Someone [0] mentioned that the spice package itself is closer to 250k SHU and only the final dish, noodles and all, is 10k. Since the oil from the spice package will be on the surface it will probably taste way hotter than for example a 10k sauce.

Wasn't there some adage about war time and peace time CEOs?

Anyhoo, Tesla's wartime is over, no more "bankwupt" memes, no more production hell, all the models in the "SEXY CARS" line up have been launched.

So fire Elon, let him become Tesla Chairman again, hire a new CEO, and start the new phase.

----

However, that said, all these people/organizations quoted in the article (Gerber, Koguan, CalPERS etc) benefited greatly form Elon's wartime activities.

He stayed in the factory overnight to fix production problems and whatever else was required, they didn't. His magic was relevant in causing the share price to moon.

You benefited from him, now pay the Elon Tax. Pay his share package, no matter how high, and THEN let him go.

I have no sympathy for shareholders who benefited massively from efforts but now suddenly pretending to be all moral.

Atleast short sellers were honest in their hatred, shareholders suddenly finding Jesus when the share dilution became real are filthy hypocrites.

Elon was always like this, you just couldn't hear it over the KACHING! the share price rise made.

_____

It would be hilarious though, if they refused to pay, Elon is double-dared to quit and he actually does, causing share price to crater and the tech staff quits like how it was after Altman and Open AI.

I would love to get my popcorn ready for that.

I like the idea of SQLite, even more with tools like Litestream [0] when the database is replicated - in this case, just continuously backup to S3 (and from S3 during startup). I found often for my and my friend's hobby projects, single server instances can be optimized easily enough to handle small and medium traffic. In such cases, I don't even bother with a fully managed database because SQLite covers all the needs and when it's located on the same machine as the server is extremely fast [1].

I remember reading a short piece about "The old abandoned Internet on the edge of Town" well before 2010.

Possibly it was extrapolating from the ruins of MySpace and similar.
But who actually uses that? That's my point. Phones all run their custom bootloaders (if you're lucky they use something from the Android SDK as second stage), embedded stuff runs u-boot versions forked a decade ago (or longer), even the really popular stuff such as raspi and its various clones all run their own proprietary stuff.
A minor correction: Intel were licensed by AMD to use their x64 extensions, they didn't just copy them.

Has it crossed your mind that you might be wrong, and better communication may lead to better (i.e. worse) dissension?

Nowadays people "communicate" a lot, and mostly know perfectly well what others are about. Did it lessen friction?

The writing is clearly on the wall for the "internet" as there is no visible restoring force. If its not dead already, its getting pretty close.

It is a sort of tragedy of the digital commons, where the commons in this instance is the availability of extremely usable digital channel for people to communicate online in a decentralized way.

The early pioneers were really excited about the empowering potential of all this, but alas they did not work out the full dynamics of human nature (seeking short term profit, influence and control) especially when it is combined with the amplifying impact of automation and algorithms.

In short, the channel is being ruined by noise, the signal is swamped, the digital commons is being overgrazed and dying.

Nobody feels responsible for this. The stewardship of this most unique resource that was gifted to us by the digital age is laughable. A cacophony of commercial and state interests that have not produced a single positive development in the last thirty years since the invention of the web.
