The article says the chips are made on a 180 nm process and they come out about the size of a table salt grain.

We’re now down in the single digits for fabrication in nanometers, although I know that sort of just a name. This chip is so tiny already, if you were to fab it on a process like 7 nm I’m guessing it would be unworkably small. Too hard to cut, too hard to manipulate individual chips once you did manage to cut them.

So here’s my question: how small can we make a chip in area while still being able to cut them out and easily use them?

It’s obviously not a concern for the hundreds of square millimeters of a large processor, but I’ve never heard about the opposite end of the spectrum before.

I don't know anything about the secondary market for Hermes bags but it seems like it's pretty healthy.

But watches from certain brands (and certain models) can be sold immediately for a profit. For example, a Rolex steel Daytona retails for $14k from an MSRP. You'll sell it in a heartbeat on the secondary market for $30k. The Rainbow Daytona a handful of years ago was $100-150k IIRC. It's now closer to $500-600k.

The market is off its peak of 2021-2022 quite a bit but I've bought several luxury watches that could be sold for a healthy profit if I was so inclined.

> Is the protocol used in credit cards related at all?

In e.g. London and the Netherlands, the readers were upgraded to support tapping in and out with a debit/credit card or Apple/Google Pay.

However, Apple also seems to have an ‘Express’ mode, which even works when the battery is empty (‘Power Reserve’).

It seems to me that there must be three protocols: the one for the disposable and stored-value tickets (ISO 14443?), EMV for debit/credit/Apple Pay/Google Pay, and Apple Pay Express.
I haven't seen end-of-line conversion problems (as well as Unicode BOMs) for decades. My guess is that software quality improved these days. MS Notepad was a noteable tool which always mocked around with unix-style line endings.

This was also the time where UTF-8 was not yet so widespread, but that is another topic ;-)
Idk. I would love to taste real mammoth. But with the lab grown “mammoth” i feel there is just too many knobs they can tweak, and without a reference who knows how authentic it would be. Basically the company making it would be strongly incentivised to squeeze some strange yet acceptable flavour profile. You don’t want everyone to think it tastes too much like a cow, because how do you justify the price point then. But you also don’t want it to taste so gamey or weird that people refuse it. Both would be financial ruin for the company. So instead of getting how a real mammoth tasted you would get some taste balanced to feel exotic yet acceptable.

I bet the taste would depend more on the tastes of the team making it than the actual flavour profile of a mamoth.

Some do, some don't. JSON is a special case as a valid JSON file needs to be a single array or object literal - event driven (SaX style) parsing needs to be a hack (like jq stream mode). In theory json_streamer or yajl should help, but I couldn't get a combination to return a proper lazy iterator.

With file as ndjson it was easier, if a little sparsely documented (Zlib::new or #wrap?):

my_it = Zlib::GzipReader.wrap(some_ndfile).lazy
obs = my_it.each_line.lazy.map do |line|
JSON.parse line
end.first(4)

When we can get a line at a time marshalling the whole line isn't an issue.

My issue is more that it is tricky to nest ruby IO objects and return a lazy iterator - especially nesting custom filters along the way - at least more tricky than it should be.

Apparently there's a third party frame work that does seem promising:

https://iostreams.rocketjob.io/tutorial

Or:

https://medium.com/smartly-io/streaming-data-with-ruby-enume...

https://github.com/lautis/piperator

I think something more like this should probably be built in, and readily available (for gzip, http, files etc). Maybe I'm greedy.

Btw the shell pipeline to convert a file would be something like this, and is fully streaming:

# gzipped JSON to gzipped ndjson, stripping top level array:
gzcat file.json.gz \
| jq -cn --stream 'fromstream(inputs|(.[0] |= .[1:]) | select(. != [[]]) )' \
| gzip -9 \
> file.ndjson.gzip

I don’t think so. A soy plant has tons of evolutionary baggage tied to its protein synthesis. It has to reproduce, out compete other life for resources, be hardy enough to survive both pests and pesticides, and it evolved in a resource constrained environment.

It can really be anywhere. Intel/AMD probably have done due diligence in ensuring that the SoC itself sleeps correctly, but once system integrators start glueing on external hardware like radios, external graphics, floppy drives ( :P ), things get messy fast. For example, a wireless driver which doesn't correctly power down the radios when the system sleeps will end up firing interrupts at the SoC and dragging it back from S3 constantly. Or maybe the SoC does actually power gate correctly but the external graphics doesn't and so you end up burning a non-negligible amount of power over there for no good reason. And so on and on and on.

Integrators here are really on the hook for validating their configuration and chasing down the appropriate vendor to fix it (be it Intel/AMD or, I dunno, Qualcomm).
Assuming no fossil fuels provide the carbon, the whole thing is indeed carbon neutral.

However, from a green house gas perspective, plants consume Co2 (moderate green house potential), and either due to rotting or as part of digestion, methane does get produced. Which has a high green house potential. Not in identical proportions to the co2 consumed of course, cows and rotting plants also produce co2.

So think of part of the problem being some co2 being converted into a more problematic green house gas (methane) with a lot of steps in the middle.

> I hate to break it to you but people do not meet that standard either and misunderstand each other plenty

Sure, and there are ways to tell when people don't understand the words they use.

One of the ways to check how well people understand a word or concept is to ask them a question they haven't seen the answer for.

It is the difference in performance on novel tasks that allows us to separate understanding from memorization in both people and computer models.

The confusing thing here is that these LLMs are capable of memorization at a scale that makes the lack of understanding less immediately apparent.

> You're entitled to your own standard of what it means to understand words but for millions of people it's doing great at it.

It's not mine, the distinction I am drawing is widespread and common knowledge. You see it throughout education and pedagogy.

> It is as though you said a dog couldn't really play chess if it plays legal moves all day every day from any position and for millions of people, but sometimes fails to see obvious mates in one in novel positions that never occur in the real world.

While I would say chess engines can play chess, I would not say the chess engines understands chess. Conflating utility with understanding simply serves to erase an important distinction.

I would say that LLMs can talk and listen. And perhaps even that it understand how people use language. Indeed, as you say, millions people show this every day. I would however not say that LLMs understand what they are saying or hearing. The words are themselves meaningless to the LLM beyond their use in matching memorized patterns.

Edit: Let me qualify my claims a little further. There may indeed be some words that are understood by some LLMs, but it seems pretty clear there are definitely some important ones that aren't. Given the scale of memorized material, demonstrating understanding is hard but assuming it is not safe.
At this scale, things aren’t being bought with money, but with other systems of value. Imagine if you had near-infinite disposable income, and also all of your friends do too. What could possibly be considered interesting or status-worthy at that point? Luxury status symbols that can only be bought with things like your own time spent with a brand, status, and personal connections are the only ways to distinguish yourself from others.
> Claude 3.5 Sonnet can code a near perfect UI widget from a screen shot.

Not sure about Claude and "coding ui widgets", but a while ago I tried getting ChatGPT to make a simple demo program in C using some relatively new Linux-specific APIs. It spat out a piece of code that would not even compile, let alone work.

It was remarkably wrong. In the specifically interesting part, that is where it was supposed to use the relatively new Linux-specific APIs, it failed completely and used some POSIX-standard APIs (and used them wrong).

Dunno but it seems to me that some jobs are more at risk than others.

----

Also: I routinely have to work with software that is supposed to do A, B and C according to its documentation but does B, Ç, Σ in practice. If an LLM was to "read" the documentation and act on production according to that, production would burn in a couple of hours. I think I'll be fine for a while.

To be clear, I don’t buy these hypotheses. But they force us to ask questions that show the limits of our technology. If Mars had water 4 billion years ago, and an alien civilisation existed, my naïve guess is we’d find buried evidence of it. Weathering happens differently on Mars. But to know the answer is maybe not puts boundaries on what we can conclude from the data we find there, as well as our interpretation of our Fermi paradox observations.
