The problem is memory bandwith. There is a reason Apple Macbooks do relatively well with LLMs it’s not that the GPU is any better than zen5, but 4,5,6x memory bandwidth is huge (80ish gb/s vs 400gb/s)
There’s a big difference between designing chips and manufacturing chips. The concern here is Intel is the last US HQ CPU fab that matters, and its relevance is waning.
Personally I enjoy ZorinOS as a daily driver for a great out-of-the-box experience with a UI that I really like.
Also: how painful is it to do this task the current way?
Sorry, but that is nonsense and I have no idea what point you're trying to make. You're saying that competition doesn't drive down prices by giving two examples of how companies avoid competition.
Everyone must cooperate when they receive legal warrants and subpoenas. That's normal police work.

There is the right way and the wrong way.

Wrong way: Telegram keeps records and refuses to cooperate. Telegram faces consequences.

Right way: Signal cooperates. They give two Unix timestamps. One for when the account was created and the date the account last connected to the Signal service. https://signal.org/bigbrother/cd-california-grand-jury/ See also: https://signal.org/bigbrother/
> So if I bought my house in 1955, I might pay $100/year in property tax

Ok it's fine to point out drawbacks of Prop 13, but making up stuff doesn't help.

Prop 13 baseline assessment used 1976 values, so buying in 1955 doesn't make any difference, it still started on 1976 valuation.

It goes up 2% every year, so for this scenario we're talking about a house that was worth well under 10K in 1976. The median house price in the US in 1976 was 48K (so surely higher than that in California).

It is (unfortunately) regular police work.....nowadays.
Only criminals (and their defenders) complained about fingerprints being used as id, nowadays it's expected.
Time moves on.
I did set up telegram today...my contribution to the noise, as I'm a very firm believer in communications being very protected.

I do highly commend Snowdon for what he has done in the past, but his (though highly understandable) silence regarding Ukraine puts him on my shitlist. Very low down on it, but on it all the same.
Can they? Maybe. Will they? No. Besides, how would it actually help.

No, the light on the ground will be spread out at least 2 miles wider than the size of the mirror itself, because the Sun is half a degree wide and not a point source. It will also be very very dim unless the mirror is several miles wide.

>I'm not sure whether I'm a "good programmer" or a "bad programmer" but sometimes I just want a problem to go way in the quickest way possible.

True. Most programmers would think the same, at times.

>I'm not always trying to create a timeless, perfect, jewel

No one is, most of the time. Only, some people try to create somewhat good things some of the time, even given constraints.

>and there is a limit to how much I want to follow every highway and byway needed to do stuff across several dozen languages, libraries, platforms and frameworks.

Who has the time to do it, unless one is independently wealthy, so don't need to work, and is programming just for fun (although many of us do it for fun, part-time at least).

Yes, my sentiments exactly, and I am sure it's that of many other programmers, too.

The abstraction upon abstraction upon abstraction (Howdy, Java, but not only it) and the combinatorial explosion of technologies X their version(iti)s, is hell - like DLL hell on Windows, except much worse.

>Some days I'm just tired.

So yeah, I hear you, dude, and feel your pain.

But the topic and argument was about whether llms reduce that pain enough to be worthwhile. I guess the answer is: different strokes for different folks.
Yeah - I've seen "but it's on lists of most common misconceptions" closed wontfix. Errata are good for "author:oops,tnx", but work much less well for confused authors and bad calls, and not at all for judgment calls and alternate approaches. Some other mechanisms are needed.
Link doesn't work.

> if such thinking is taken as dogma, innovation suffers.

I don’t think there’s anything about the original post, with quote about oxen, that reads as dogmatic, or invites such perspective.

Also, I think we can all agree most innovation happens as an extension of “making the best of what’s available” rather than independent of it, on a fully separate track.

Using two oxen can lead to realizing a bigger ox would be beneficial.
Yes, this is what's holding Ruby back from the broad adoption that Zig enjoys.
to be fair, the you that wakes up in the morning isn't the same you that went to bed.
I tell you the right answer and anyone who disagrees is wrong.

Never return error codes, always return results. A function that reads a file into lines and you can't do that? Throw exception. Can't restart some service? Again, throw. Throwing is almost always right, unless the failure itself is a legitimate result. For example, a parser should probably not throw on errors and should instead return a ParseResult which is either a ParseTree or a ParseError containing (at least) an error code for the computer and an error message for the human. However, a parser should never return an error for say, a divide by zero or out of memory error (though a garbage collector could), since those aren't really parse errors.

See https://wiki.c2.com/?SamuraiPrinciple and related pages.
Was it always like this? Or did they have a period where they stopped paying top dollar for talent?
I am just a program that runs on my meat computer. Upload me to a computer and I am still me just running on a silicon computer. So if you upload me and my meat computer is still running, unless I have a soul somewhere that I don't know about, they would both be me. I wouldn't experience both realities simultaneously, there would just be two of me.

Can you expand more on the incentives?

I, and perhaps the other people on the thread, distrust Google actually trying hard to give you the best organic search.

The monetary incentives are simply too large to circumvent imo

If they really are, then perhaps the problem is that there's so much attention and competition to game the search engine, that it's an impossible-to-beat cat and mouse game. Due to their success, they're basically guaranteed to constantly have "parasites" trying to game the system to their advantage. (cf. the SEO industry and companies like ahrefs)

You manage things, you lead people.
Can you tell me who is a bastion of Human right and freedom? Personally, I'm struggling to think of any right now.
No, I don't think so. If people are openly advertising to provide criminal services (which is super-easy to find on Telegram; eg there are channels where you can pay people to damage property or commit violence), is it realistic to expect police to ignore that just because it's digital?
and Google Play offers the possibility to distribute an update only to specific e-mail addresses, so if there is a need to compromise users with a malicious update that shows another fingerprint it's really doable (or just copy the messages, like Skype was doing with TOM-Skype).
I just think that it’s way too fine grain to be realistic and wouldn’t use it personally. I’d save your energy for something you’re more sure of.
Do you actually think they literally meant 8 billion people are going to drop dead? because the meaning was fairly obvious as written - after 200 years of industrial revolution we are left in a situation where the planet we live on may not be inhabitable in a relatively short period of time
I don't really have good context on the issue but is there a reason you consider getting Telegram logs outside of "regular detective work". Intercepting communications (assuming they have a warrant, at least based on my understanding in the US) would seem to be very standard police work to me.
As a kid, I found translations of Enid Blyton's books, e.g. The famous five, in my mothers book case. They must have been huge in their time. For my generation (1980), these books are basically unknown. I found a bunch of lookalikes from other authors too.

I thought these would become extinct by now, but googling around for writing this post, I just find the BBC created a series about them recently. They're back!
Exactly. This fact probably sickens him greatly, but it's the reality. He chose Russia over prison. He didn't get freedom with that deal, just a much nicer life (hopefully).
I broadly agree with you. Constraints give rise to creativity.
I bet Durov arrest has little to do with any bullshit charges the French government is accusing him of, and more to do with Telegram being used to document the Gaza genocide. Once a platform allows the world see images of children bodies torn by IDF bombs, governments rush to throw any pretense of free speech out of the window.
He is living in Russia. A place where government critics have a tendency to defenestrate themselves.

That he is not openly endorsing the current government might be as much latitude as he is allowed.
Thank you! I was hoping for something less intimidating than going full ansible/terraform.

It's not clear how that sort of thing would even help, it seems like just a trap for the unwary. If you're an honest person selling your mittens and paying your taxes without knowing you're supposed to have a cash register, you could get unlucky and get in trouble for innocuous behavior. If you're a drug dealer then you get a cash register and ring up all your drug sales as mitten sales. Or, if someone wanted to report less income, they would have a cash register and then use it to ring up less than all of the sales. Whether or not you have the cash register can't distinguish these and is correspondingly pointless.

Brains are inherently chemical, and chemistry is just very abstracted quantum mechanics. Technically physical processors also hold quantum state, but we build them in a way that the abstracted state of 0s and 1s is portable. Brains didn't evolve such a requirement, and various quantum states maybe indirectly observable at the thought level.
"What is my purpose? To pass the butter" is now even worse, to roleplay as a believable fake character.

Either answer to that question does not make mine any less true.

What? We are talking about a major IC designer/manufacturer not gateway desktop computers from 1999.

Theres still tons of money to be made in chips - the whole world runs on them. but the cost is in the multi-multi-billion dollar r&d to build a fab that actually makes functional chips. And then having the work force that can produce successful yield after successful yield 24/7 that keeps the economics of the whole thing on par with Taiwan and other major supply chain countries in the indo-pacific where wages are lower.
Because it’s a copy of you and you’ll stay dead either way, so there’s no moral or altruistic reason to boot up a copy.

To the article’s premise where this technology constitutes resurrection, I’m not convinced that a post-neural-cloning society in the year 3000 would lack the automated resource access to flip the question to “why not?”

We’re already seeing population growth slowing or reversing in populations with mere modern levels of abundance, and we don’t even have The Good Matrix yet! And that’s basically paired with the tech that enables digital mind clones - fully digital interfaces between mind and sensory data / bodily functions, so you can make a virtual world to exist in instead of wiring up a bunch of prosthetics. So you won’t need any non-fungible material resources to satisfy your every material desire.
> spooks and sociopaths with blood on their hands. That's just how America works.

Even in certain unnamed European countries, they proliferate more freely than you'd think, staying unnoticed as long as they’re deniably placating their wrongdoings within the civilian sector. Certain ones are known to become increasingly bold as they encroach on organized crime and PMC breeding grounds, both in close proximity, as of recently. It happens in seemingly ordinary situations, and you'd be surprised at how insidious certain individuals can become.
It seems like you're taking a personal anecdote and generalizing it to everyone. Some people will need to ignore hunger pangs, because the alternative is eating too many calories. Also, it may be the compromise between eating the food you want (occasionally) and having less satiety. Expecting people to eat gruel (or, generally radically redefining their entire diet) is, in my opinion, less realistic than just admitting that if you eat that <insert unhealthy food here> then the downside is you might end up feeling hungry because you cannot eat more food and adhere to your caloric goal.

Also, we'll have to disagree on your opinion that food manufacturers are poisoning us, though. I don't subscribe to that hyperbole. Additionaly, organic and locally grown has essentially nothing to do with nutritional properties of the food we eat. It may be better for sustainability, but that has nothing to do with how healthy it is.
Just like the CAD program, it comes down to the license. CAD software that, for example, has a student edition often has a license restriction forbidding using the software output for commercial purposes. It's up to the licensor to decide the terms they offer, and AFAIK, restricting commercial use is not a controversial license term from a legal perspective.
I have no idea if it is encrypted or not. Always thought it is. But I think of offering a commercial service of something my buddy is currently offering for free on a smaller scale. And there have been police inquiries.

I am US based and have a US passport. I wonder if I would have to respond to police inquiries. When is this enough, and when would I need a court order? And do I have to respond to foreign police inquiries. Demand a court order? And accept one from France, what is next? Russia? China? North Korea?

I think in the end it was his French Passport that killed him. Now there are not so many options for him:

He can help with providing a kind of key, backdoor whatever and can walk or gets a small sentence. I thought Telegram is encrypted and if done, in the right way, he could not provide help at all, but this seems not the case. The other option is that he asks for help from Russia. I am sure Putin could get him out in 1-2 years. Trust me, Putin has his ways with this, see Vadim Krasikov. :-)

Let's hope he plays his cards wisely. Good luck.

A friend left his SWE position at Intel(He was part of the Altera acquisition) about 4 years ago. His weeks consisted of answering one email on Monday and working out the rest of the work week because his lead did pretty much nothing, and their manager not only did nothing, but made shit up regularly.

It was pretty wild honestly.
Hmm, how long did it take you make this? was this worth automating?
Something that used to be popular was the concept of the Western Canon: a core reading list of timeless works for the ages, around which our collective culture revolved. But I don’t think such a thing exists or can exist any more, in our hyper-diverse, hyper-content-stuffed world. As the amount and availability of TV, music, books, films, etc. increases, the odds of meeting somebody who’s had a similar set of cultural inputs as you tends towards zero.

Tentpole stuff like Harry Potter is the only thing saving us from complete societal atomization where everybody is a stranger.

The truth is that hardware just plain sucks compared to software. More punishing to produce and less profitable to do so. Nobody with money really wants to back hardware over software, at least right now.
Tokens are mapped to the underlying account not to a specific card. This is one of the selling points of network tokenization to merchants. If the underlying card gets lost/stolen/replaced/etc, the token will still work because it is tied to the account and not the physical card.
I have not heard anything about SSD issues from my friends in the IT department who service hundreds of laptops…

Personally I’m still running an M1 MacBook Air which has been bulletproof for almost 4 years now. Before that I ran a 12” MacBook for 5 years. My last problem with a Mac laptop was in the 17” PowerBook days, circa 2010 (I suspect the case flexed and damaged the logic board)
My first thought on the matter would be novelty. If the consciousnesses of the future sufficiently valued novelty, and if the contents of a brain scan were considered a high-value source of potential novelty, then I can imagine there might be some market for it.

But that requires a few massive assumptions including that the kind of novelty that is desirable to a future might be found in the brains of individuals from today and that such novelty could not be generated in some other cheaper manner.
Depends on the time, money, and effort you think it will take. This is why Vercel, Turso and so many SaaS/PaaS exist to enable you to build and scale... Nobody likes to get locked in, that said getting something working is better than nothing.

In terms of embarrassment, there's no inherent shame in creating something that fails. Most ideas don't work out, that's fine, it's what you learn and what you push forward that matters.
At the risk that I’ve missed a joke, the unified memory architecture reduces the amount of RAM you have available since “RAM” for any computer with discrete graphics doesn’t include VRAM.

Yeah. It seems like antitrust in the US will happily let competition consolidate down to 2 or sometimes even 1 viable provider, and the only react later once evidence of consumer harm can be shown via higher prices.

At that point a lot of the damage is already done, and trying to reverse it is more complicated than preserving a competitive market to begin with.
wow. just the existence of smartphones seems to be not enough of a reason to drop these contracts or criteria. in fact one would think it should be the opposite, because smartphones are so disruptive and distracting.

SO they snatched him over something that is in effect "administrative"?

Nothing complicated. He got snatched because someone somewhere wants something from him and this is the "public" reason. If he's out, telegram is compromised, if he stays in we can't even assume that it isn't.

There is also a big difference between doing what e.g. Signal does, which is respond with everything they have, i.e. nothing, and (a) refusing to provide data you have or (b) blowing the warrant off.
