Smart to buy a preexisting fab. From what I understand via from various blogs and YouTube research, building a Feb even if your not doing cutting edge tech like tsmc, say going with an openpdk, still requires that special infrastructure. You need seismic dampening for the fab and to be located in a low activity region preferably, you need cheap water that can be refines, you need affordable electricity, and then supporting infrastructure to get the chemicals, the water, the machines delivered. Doing all of this isn't cheap and I'd bet is a lot of paperwork.

Imagine going to some rural area and trying to build a fab, chances are the town has no clue what your impact or needs are and you would be spending lots of money to basically speed up development of the area.

Side not to Semiconductors fab, where do you even buy one. Sure you can buy talent or machinery and then hire engineers to help get everything working, but if you wanted to for some reason buy a fan that already exists, say just the fab location and the equipment, how do you know what company to approach that might even consider selling. Who can even afford these purchases except massive fortune 500 company's breaking a piggy bank, or some massive credit institution, which I doubt would even do this because it would probably be a massive loan to any buyer. Seems like you need to have the money to build part of a fab if you want to buy one, idk who would even consider loaning that amount of money to a third party.
You believe it will get somehow easier in 60 years?
Any time I read anything about any web-adjacent technology I'm incredibly thankful that I don't work anywhere near that industry.

Embedded can be complex, but web stuff is just a Lovecraftian nightmare in comparison
This does not solve the main issue as explained by TFA, which is that now applications that use a different "compiled OS version" cannot link with each other anymore. Your application X which declares to run on OS v.B cannot link anymore with application Y which declared to run on OS v.A , even when both are running under OS v.B .

In fact, what you describe is basically what every platform is doing.... as doing anything else would immediately break compatibility with all current binaries.

The “North East” in the context of the UK and “the North East of England” are not interchangeable.

The complexity comes from the fact that water moves mostly up-down in a wave, not horizontally. It's _wave_ front that moves horizontally towards a beach.

> no matter how many times they get clobbered in the face by the consequences of not learning it.

While I do think that the boundary should be set at the libc level just out of design cleanliness, I fail to see what the "consequence" of not doing so is. You're just changing the instruction binaries use for syscalls from a relative jump to a trap (or whatever), but you still have all the problems with data type sizes, function "versions" and the like which are what this discussion is about.

My love of embedded stuff is growing. I'm self teaching C and assembly....to get better at low level programming and interactions with hardware but it all seems much simpler than the big data systems. Granted I'm sure it call be broken down into steps and issues to solve like any programming issue but I'm happy focusing on low level stuff for now.
I've not done pre-training for LLMs, but years ago I generated a completely synthetic dataset for table recognition using an off the shelf document segmentation model, raw TeX, a random table generator, a discriminator and an evolutionary algorithm to generate different styles of tables.

The project got killed due to management but I still got results on that dataset better than state of the art in 2023 with no human annotation.

The Venn diagram of people who know TeX well enough to write a modular script for table generation with metadata and people who know how to train LLMs has an intersection of a dozen people I imagine.
My understanding is the astronauts don’t mind staying longer because they enjoy it and for some (all?) it may be their last mission in space, in part due to the decommissioning.

This is completely irrelevant. The LLM can understand your instructions and it can type 30,000 times faster than you.
"Imaginary things"

I get the impression you just aren't keeping up with DeepMind.

They have made huge break throughs in science, and they publish their results in Nature. Just because the parent company Google had some bad demo's doesn't mean it is all bunk.

So guess if you are of the ilk that just doesn't trust anything anymore, that there is no peer reviews, all science is a fraud. I really can't help that.

Liquid Crystal – multiplayer voxel test
I guess I'm a victim of this reporting to some extent, because I remember this situation going on for months, and I keep thinking every time it's mentioned (often) how terrible it must be for these astronauts and why something isn't done about it. But I know almost nothing regarding details. I know I despise Boeing and that I admire astronauts and that reading this headline, I thought 'its about fucking time!'

But if I realize the entire situation has been misrepresented, I think I will be annoyed with myself. Is this really all nonsense? Is the situation normal, or common?

I think "rescue" is a little dramatic.
“Ultimately, NASA felt it was not able to understand why the thrusters malfunctioned and decided that it was too risky to return its astronauts to Earth aboard Starliner, which will attempt to return uncrewed.”

Too risky? Stranded? Rescued (hopefully)?
> Seems like you need to have the money to build part of a fab if you want to buy one, idk who would even consider loaning that amount of money to a third party

Governments are happy to subsidise fabs, and VCs are even happier to invest in AI flavoured semiconductors if you can market it that way.

Notion's mid-life crisis
Kinda is, and it’s all Elon’s fault.
It general falls into the category of signal processing - you will want to start with reviewing the Fourier transform, which requires a bit of calculus and a little bit of linear algebra. It helps to know Euler’s formula and how it gets used. There are lots of great visualizations online. The main thing that will really help with this though is developing a decent understanding of the concepts of the frequency domain and time domain as starting points. Good luck.
Jeremy Clarkson Says All Modern Cars 'Are Shit'
My takeaway from this is maybe somewhat different from what the authors intended:

> The last one? Our friend, cassandra-messages. [...] To start with, it’s a big cluster. With trillions of messages and nearly 200 nodes, any migration was going to be an involved effort.

To me, that's a surprisingly small amount of nodes for message storage, given the size of discord. I had honestly expected a much more intricate architecture, engineered towards quick scalability, involving a lot more moving parts. I'm sure the complexity is higher than stated in the article, but it makes me wonder, given that I've been partially responsible for more than 200 physical nodes that did less, how much of modern cloud architecture is over engineered.

This is my personal experience, despite everyone swearing that it's a game changer. I've tried a fair few times now because people swear everything is revolutionary but I find them almost as annoying as helpful, and as many others have noticed you really have to be careful before accepting the code it outputs as correct, the subtly incorrect bits are extremely insidious. An example: in one case I was trying an AI tool to write some reasonably tricky logic for validation and at some point it got something very close to right but flipped part of a conditional. It took me probably 30 minutes to notice even though it should have been pretty obvious.

The best I can say is that the implementation in Jetbrains IntelliJ IDEA is pretty good. It's basically only useful for some repetitive Java boilerplate, but actually that's perfect, it's mindless enough yet easy to validate. It makes me dislike programming in Java a little bit less.
Another obvious idea: use mega-constellations.

GPS signals can't be signed because the signal bandwidth is limited, a digital signature is going to take hours to get transmitted.

But by using something like a Starlink satellite, it's possible to transmit digitally signed timing packets that can't be spoofed.

I read somewhere someone who compared news to the presenters at a horse race. If you just look, it might be a boring uneventful race. But if you listen to the presenters, it’s very exciting. “Now horse A is in front!!! Oh wait. Horse B takes the lead!! Wait. Horse A is coming back.” For example, EV taxes in Europe “There are rumors on EV taxes!! Wait some guy says there will be no extra taxes!! Oh wait. Rumors for 40%!! No 30%!! Breaking news!! It’s 40%!”

Apple, These Macs Aren't 'Obsolete'
It makes no sense but it’s common parlance. It’s like “Northern Rivers” in Australia meaning “an area on the east coast south of Queensland”. Similarly “The North East” rarely means an area containing Aberdeen, which would make more sense.
I'd love to know more about what you mean by that -- is it that the North East of England (which this factory is certainly in, it being in County Durham) is not the same as the North East of the UK (which I guess would be Aberdeen)? Or is there more to it than that?
One of the great variables is the manner of practice. Every so-called virtuoso guitar player has spent thousands of hours with their hands on the instrument. But where one such celebrity may have used a 10-hour-per-day practice routine in their teens, another may instead have taken drugs then listened to music and jammed with his like-minded friends at every opportunity. Very different forms of expertise results.

Quality of practice is another factor. It's possible to become very good at doing things the wrong way, then belatedly realise that progress has been unintentionally stunted. And even that is not clear-cut. Sometimes 'the wrong way' is lauded as creative discovery, and other times simply as reduced competence.
Hope Gentoo alone won't get overburdened with the development and maintenance of such hybrid toolchain, to be able to compile and run time32 processes alongside time64. When everyone else has moved on. Better do a complete reinstall from stage3.
So can "stupidity". If something is possible for a human to do, it's something that's possible for any sufficiently-enabled/supported human to do. I've heard it put that the inability to understand or do something is a matter of not having acquired the necessary prerequisites. So, the incentives to control stupidity are the incentives to acquire and apply the prerequisite skills or knowledge.
The article says they were using ScyllaDB for everything except the message store two years before they did the migration for messages.

Seems like it was previously owned by Coherent, like some kind of III-V (specifically GaAs mentioned) photonics processes there in the past. This kind of technology is typically quite useful for lasers, LEDs, or potentially image sensors as well. Many LIDAR sensors and even light sources can notably depend on III-V semiconductor sensors. Also widely used by the telecom industry.

Outside photonics definitely useful for high speed electronics, but that would probably take more process development to get going.

PyPy still has GIL, though. In my practice (before I jumped ship to Go) PyPy never really made real code much faster. You still had to play games with shared memory to achieve multi-threading, and/or run multiple copies of a server process.

They should have just tried to go GIL-less instead of wasting time on trying transactional memory.

I mean from a non-subjective legal TOS perspective.

I'm not arguing that the grocery store saying "fresh produce" guarantees that the produce is fresh. Fresh, like evil, is subjective.

I'm saying that if the grocery puts "All our produce is no older than 10 days" you can be pretty sure they adhere to that and train employees to follow it. "10 days" is not subjective.
This might be the most relevant difference:

> Like the Uplevel study, Gekht also sees AI assistants introducing errors in code. Each new iteration of the AI-generated code ends up being less consistent when different parts of the code are developed using different prompts.

> “It becomes increasingly more challenging to understand and debug the AI-generated code, and troubleshooting becomes so resource-intensive that it is easier to rewrite the code from scratch than fix it,” he says.

In particular if there's little standardization in prompting styles across the team, I could see things getting confusing.

But there are also bad incentives on teams that don't exist for solo devs: e.g. presumably you aren't shipping code solely because your manager is getting on to you about missed deadlines, without any business justifications for the hurry. AI codegen that effectively optimizes to the manager / user story seems bad for business.

If indeed it's human-to-human transmission, it doesn't mean it's likely to be as transmissible as Covid, or even other flu strains. What really set Sars-CoV-2 apart was its high transmissibility right off the bat.

The most important thing is tracing and isolating the carriers before it spreads, and before it's had a chance to evolve and become more transmissible yet. Influenza in general is one of the hardest pathogens to contain.

This isn't true. There is an msvcrt in the OS, but it's mainly there for binaries that are part of Windows. The CRT is released as part of Visual Studio, out of band from the Windows release schedule.

I don't believe this to be true, but if it is, the responsibilities lies with Matt for allowing it with permissive licensing and trademarks. Neither WPEngine, nor you or I, are obliged to care about what Matt wants us to care about, or to obey Matt's decrees, and the sole reason is Matt's actions.

There was a flash game I played where you did (maybe pseudo) protein folding. It gave you a desired shape and you had to pick bases to make it go together.

Once made it would give you some estimates on temperature-range etc. and you could tweak the bases to attempt to improve the temperature stability without making it go haywire.

I can't remember what it was called, but I had fun with it. I wonder what happened to it in a post Flash world.
