> 180 nm fabs are getting to the point where replacing machines is prohibitively expensive and spare parts have to be custom made.

Do you have a reference for that? I'm not sure why it would be true.

180nm lines have many other advantages, like better transistor gain for analog, lower leakage, more advanced device types and BCD. Some 180nm lines can also do MEMS. Maybe a couple of foundries are struggling but I would've thought 180nm was still going pretty strong.
Referrals are vetted by global teams who are just checking boxes - it's very common to have to reach out to the recruiter for the role directly to resurrect a rejected referral.
The bundle can be split up into chunks. Chunks can be loaded on demand.

SPA assets (just like game assets) can be downloaded and cached on demand. They don't have to be bundled at all.

Well, as of the last 10 years the journalism industry has just been a lazy tweet regurgitation factory. The pipeline looks something like Tweets -> Journalists -> LLMs. So maybe it would be best if we cut out the middlemen?
I particularly like his comparison of learning Rust to writing docs at Amazon, which are a frictionful minefield.

> Rust has a reputation for being a difficult language to learn and I won’t dispute that there is a learning curve. It will take time to get familiar with the borrow checker, and you will fight with the compiler. It’s a lot like writing a PRFAQ for a new idea at Amazon. There is a lot of friction up front, which is sometimes hard when all you really want to do is jump into the IDE and start building. But once you’re on the other side, there is tremendous potential to pick up velocity. Remember, the cost to build a system, service, or application is nothing compared to the cost of operating it, so the way you build should be continually under scrutiny.
Astroturfers made me think, maybe its not so bad.

Stealth AI startup CuspAI raises $30M seed round
Is there a principle or a name for how measurement leads to enhanced control?
I have two questions:

1) does this hold for all 3 of jerk, snap and crackle, like OP suggested?

2) In applications where no humans are involved (robot actuators etc.), would it make sense to minimize jerk, snap and crackle too?
It's worth noting that if you're interested in making your own custom silicon, you can get it done quite inexpensively. It's not a fast process, but if you want to try your hand at building something that is all you, you can!

This isn't want SiFive was doing - they're providing engineering expertise. Here you're allowed to put together all your own logic gates into... a thing.

I'm still a bit fuzzy on the actual structure of these buildings. Based on descriptions in Wiki and elsewhere mentioning "cutting out holes for windows and doors" it makes it seem like the structure is not just the usual steel frame but with wood beams instead of steel, but there are instead perhaps full wall surfaces made of CLT which would participate in load bearing which I can see adding a lot more strength.
Ah yes, because explicitly admitting who controls the financial system is more efficient than using proof of waste to measure it indirectly.

I wish cryptocurrency folks would stop pretending it is about decentralization or distributed systems, and that anything that allows them to bypass financial regulation is good enough.
We have started using this for two different features.

We provide a solution for multiple clients, and based on a key issuer we are redirecting request directly to the client, this served helpful with deploying updates directly for clients without a need for any change on our end, giving this possibility to the closest locations to users, and also logging and showing useful data directly to clients utilizing Routify!
Well, that's true inasmuch as every other prediction did far worse. Saying ARC did the best is passing a low bar when your competition is people like Gary Marcus or HNers saying 'yeah but no scaled-up GPT-3 could ever write a whole program'...

But since ARC was from the start clearly a vision task - most of these transforms or rules make no sense without a visual geometric prior - it wasn't that convincing, and we see plenty of progress with LLMs.
Any attack on any sufficiently large structured system will indirectly harm those who depend on it, irrespective of how unjust, dangerous, and/or corrupt it might be. That does not make resistance inherently immoral. If we permit these institutions to take their subjects as hostages and refuse to confront that kind of monstrous behavior for what it is, we permit those institutions to continue abusing their populaces forever because they will never stop of their own volition.

Every resistance action carried out by every resistance group against tyranny throughout history has been washed in the blood of people who did nothing wrong.
"Moat" implies preventing competition.

This isn't competition, Perplexity isn't doing their own reporting and seeing who gets more readers/revenue. This is wholesale theft.

CVS's moat isn't the security guard standing at the door. But like parent comment said, this is going to create the digital equivalent of those plastic lock covers over the decongestants.
> OK, but, like, which one? There are lots of sets that this describes.

Any, and all. One can do the thinking without specifying what. I believe this is the notion of a 'universal property' in category theory.

> If 0 and 3 aren't sets then what are they?

I mean, if you want to give me a construct I would use, I'd say the following

0 = \s -> \z -> z
3 = \s -> \z -> s s s z

If you say that these are akin to church numerals, that is correct if you look at it as a lambda calc term. However I'm saying something much stronger than just a lambda calculus term. That's just my notation.

I'm saying that zero is the concept of taking two things (one an initial thing and the other a method to take one thing and get the next thing) and then returning the initial thing. While three is the concept of taking the same two things and then doing the method three times on the first thing. I used lambda notation because that is an easy way to convey the idea, not because that is what three is.

> Then what is it? If you say it's a set with those properties, then it should be a set and we can ask set questions about it. If you say it's somehow all of the sets with those properties, or some other concept that somehow encompasses them, then you still haven't explained what it actually is.

It's a set in the colloquial sense, not in the ZFC sense.

There's an idea of a thing, and then the definition of the thing. Both are valid in my mind.

For example, heat is the movement of atoms. It's also the energy in a thing. But it's also the feeling of hot that I cannot describe. It's also an idea in its own right. Things can be many things. There's an infinite hierarchy of description that one may apply to concepts, and, in my philosophy, at some level the description becomes unable to be expressed.

They're better but they're not 10x better. The screen is worse but lenses are actually much better on the Quest 3 and it goes a long way.
The jagged edge of LLMs' capabilities makes it really hard to explain what it's good at, and therefore what it's good for. It can be genius level at one thing and then extremely foolish at a seemingly related task in ways that are hard to intuit. It is still early days and AI is improving at a startling pace. So, eventually even the floor of competency will rise above the threshold of "average human". That's my guess anyways. Asking what AI is good for is kind of like asking what a toddler is good for. The question itself is premature.

I see things at a slightly different angle than you.

Yes, there's a bubble.

Those things you list, I find it very easy to believe they add up to at least 3% productivity boost globally. A single tech doing this in one year (or even 18 months) before we really understand how to best apply it, is a radical change all by itself, even if we don't use it to speed up future growth.

The world economy is $109 trillion; 3% of that is thus just over $3 trillion per year, which is enough to justify NVIDIA's valuation… assuming they get to collect all the profits and nobody else manages any, which is unlikely given their hardware burns a lot of expensive (in aggregate) electricity.

I can also easily believe that this triggers a painful demand increase for electricity.

I hope it isn't economically dominant, because nobody is ready for that transition.
One thing big tech is very good at is walking it back. Microsoft was one of the earlier big adopters of cryptocurrency, and now it’s nowhere to be found. Nobody cares because Microsoft didn’t make a big deal out of it.

Because current AI is effectively being pitched as assistants 2.0, I don’t see them wiping AI from their lineup, but letting it rot is a possibility as they all have done for their v1 assistants.

Due to the attention economy, most aren’t going to care within a year. Google is still a dominant company despite killing off beloved services so if they can do that, the others certainly can weather failed AI products.

There might be some exceptions like Adobe, it depends on what they do. That’s my take on it anyways, in general there was just way too much pumped into AI without much thorough thought. The fact that Rabbit was even a thing people got hyped over speaks volumes to how out of touch with reality current AI pushes are.

This is very interesting. I just have one minor nitpick. Broadcom did not buy Avago, Avago bought Broadcom. They then changed their name to broadcom as it was more recognizable in the industry (while keeping their old stock ticker AVGO as that was more recognizable in the financial industry).

This is entirely a tangent but the rise of Avago from a minor second rate spin off from a spinoff from HP to one of the biggest and most profitable companies of the world (and one that is many times the size of current HP), is one of the most unusual mostly untold stories of the modern business world. It is a story of success (by Avago and Broadcom engineers and management) and incredible incompetence (by hp management that let them go for a pittance).

That's true but they keep upping the capabilities of what the designer can do at 180nm. Based on the wait times for my jobs, there's not a lot of spare cycles, at least at the foundries I use.

A brief and non-reliable search puts the CPU at around 5W.

Unless I'm missing something, it's a 61Wh battery in the chassis, as they all use the same battery.

Therefore... battery specified as reasonable with an intel or amd cpu, but now using a minimal wattage processor, very long battery life?

My use case is basically showing emacs in a terminal with all the compute running on some other server and it seems plausible this would be rather good at that.

(also Lenovo are presently insisting I install windows on a laptop in order to replace a broken keyboard under warranty which makes me especially receptive to framework's messaging)

Speaking about Jetson, Turing Pi developed an RK1 board that is pin compatible with Jetson, and is based on a Rockchip 3588. Recently its 6TOPS NPU got a first class Linux support. Unfortunately, no Vulkan atm.

You're trying to tattle? Come on man, lighten up a bit.
AI is already so woven into my life. I use it all the time and wouldn't want to go back.

For example I made a bookmarklet that summarizes articles linked from HN. So the way I have skimmed this article is by reading this:

Apple's new AI offering, Apple Intelligence,
seems unoriginal and derivative compared to
competitors.

Apple is partnering with OpenAI to integrate
ChatGPT, but the integration appears
halfhearted.

The article questions if Apple's approach can
truly unlock the potential of generative AI.

The prompt I use is:

Make up to three short bullet points about what
the following page is about. Under no circumstances
make any of the bullet points longer than 40 words.
The page:

And then I append the text content of the page.

It is a very crude approach. Not sure how well it really covers the most important points. But I already like these summaries to decide if I dive deeper. And over time the summaries will only get better.

I think AI will be part of most UIs in a few years.
I said "consumer", not HN niche.

Pedagogy is not about marketing spin of cheating as "tools at their disposal".

There are often reasons for having learning exercises, and reasons when introducing tools to that.

Yup, I don't think there's a mass market for humanoid robots that cost as much as a high-end car - at least not yet. If you have that kind of money, you can just hire a person and it's a lot easier to get a person to do things how you want.

Biggest difference is that it doesn't have controllers and you use eye and hand tracking for interaction. It's a big UX shift. Passthrough and AR are fundamental design considerations. The Quest OS is having to transition there from a previously VR only reality.

Passthrough is essentially the same but with a quality bump you'd expect from a premium product. I wouldn't call it 10x better tho.
I'd say barriers to entry - being an established party gives you more revenue, supporters to do campaigning, influence, etc.

One place that tries to do it better in my opinion is Switzerland. It has a lot of controls to reduce the ability of politicians to act poorly and limits the power of higher levels (if something can be resolved well locally, there's no need to have a higher-level regulation). A lot of process is thought through and in place to enable direct voting on issues. Additionally, it has many levels to get engaged, which lowers the barriers to entry, by being able to have an impact on a local level.
There is a difference in zealotry.

With blockchain technology there were many people prepared to die on that hill. It was going to solve world hunger albeit not the obesity epidemic. It also had all of its own lingo for not selling or buying the dip.

I remember people saying how things would be replaced with blockchain technology such as ecommerce, and apps 'on the chain' would find many thousands of uses. People were quite insistent.

On HN you risked getting modded down to hell and shadowbanned for life if you said anything wrongful about crypto. It was bizarre.

With AI we don't have this level of zealotry. You can say it is a load of rubbish and nobody wants to kill you. Weird, but indicative that AI has found some use, even if it is for 'art' and just marketing.

Nonetheless, if someone does get a bit zealous about it, I can tell them that I have all problems solved already with blockchain technology apps, just for trolling value.

The idea that Westerners might "hate" Russians (the people -- not the dictators and their regimes' activities) always seemed so silly to me that I assumed the majority of the related propaganda would be laughed off.

In my experience, the worst general case you have from Americans is absolute "other side of the planet" indifference. Hence the apathetic practice of blocking Russian-originating IP traffic... This may be arguably worse than hate.

A slightly better case, I think, is a healthy segment of the American populace thinks Russians are like the FPSRussia YouTube channel from a few years ago. (Disclaimer: Not sure what the status of that channel is now. Plus, I always figured he was geographically in the southern USA.)

>But when was the last time their products were relevant?

You can't neglect the fact that, despite their lack of innovation while sitting on a huge pile of money, Apple has brought a few good things in the last decade. For example, their use of ARM chips in Macs has influenced other companies to adopt this architecture, which in some ways is better than x86. Another product market they opened up with their "innovation" is the AirPods, which are, in my opinion, better for daily tasks than bulky headphones as they are easier to carry around and more discreet.

>But I've never understood why a device from a secretive, developer-hostile company is supposed to be some amazing tool.

An iPhone may lack some basic features, but I find the overall experience more polished than Android.

My 2021 iPhone SE doesn't confer me any status, but I agree that some people just buy iPhones because they are expensive.

Anyway, in the end, it's about everyone's opinion. But Apple’s AI seems like overkill. I definitely don't want AI spilled into every app that is on my phone. I'm happy using the phone app, taking photos whenever I feel like it, and keeping in touch with my friends over WhatsApp/Discord/Messages.

The AI is not wrong. The issue is expecting competent, proactive safeguards from a group of people whose only motive is to secure every last penny and every last inch of power that they can. I simply don't see it happening; greed will be the undoing of greed.
