>And if your emulator is too good, what stops ISVs from saying “you did it for us, we don’t have to care”? So once again they don’t have to do it at all and you have no native software.

x86 emulation enables adoption.

Adoption means having an user base.

Having an user base means developers will consider making the platform a target.

>Saying “Ha ha, just kidding, it’s RISC-V now” would be a disaster.

Would it now? If anything, offering RISC-V support as well would further reinforce the idea that Windows is ISA-independent, and not tied to x86 anymore.

Apple has (to a first approximation) a royalty-free license to ARM IP by virtue of the fact that they co-founded ARM - so yes, Qualcomm is most likely paying ARM more than Apple is.

> Genitalia are offensive? Really?

The author is asking the wrong question and falling into the framing-trap laid by the censorious hypocrites: Plenty of things are offensive, but that alone doesn't automatically give the government the authority to ban them.

For example, "Trump is an dangerous lunatic crook" might legitimately offend certain authorities in South Carolina (probably not back in 2011, but eventually) yet it's still not something they can legitimately ban or punish people for.

> By removing ownership from the product offering the seller can reduce the price.

Pricing works by what people will pay for, not by how much it costs to produce.

Removing ownership increases profit.

Also, N64 games have additional utility, like resale or gift value, which affects the price comparison.
1. That doesn't mean you can just slap a RISC-V decoder on an ARM chip and it will magically work though. The semantics of the instructions and all the CSRs are different. It's going to be way more work than you're implying.

But Qualcomm have already been working on RISC-V for ages so I wouldn't be too surprised if they already have high performance designs in progress.
Language models or embedding distance might work quite well. Cool idea! :)

"KIBRA anchoring the action of PKMζ maintains the persistence of memory" (2024)
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adl0030 :

> How can short-lived molecules selectively maintain the potentiation of activated synapses to sustain long-term memory? Here, we find kidney and brain expressed adaptor protein (KIBRA), a postsynaptic scaffolding protein genetically linked to human memory performance, complexes with protein kinase Mzeta (PKMζ), anchoring the kinase’s potentiating action to maintain late-phase long-term potentiation (late-LTP) at activated synapses. Two structurally distinct antagonists of KIBRA-PKMζ dimerization disrupt established late-LTP and long-term spatial memory, yet neither measurably affects basal synaptic transmission. Neither antagonist affects PKMζ-independent LTP or memory that are maintained by compensating PKCs in ζ-knockout mice; thus, both agents require PKMζ for their effect. KIBRA-PKMζ complexes maintain 1-month-old memory despite PKMζ turnover. Therefore, it is not PKMζ alone, nor KIBRA alone, but the continual interaction between the two that maintains late-LTP and long-term memory

That line of logic is utterly insane even at a glance because it argues that citizens cannot be taxed for something they don’t support.

Shall we ask the DEA when they’ll be issuing refunds?

“Diluting” speech is equally incoherent. The presidents state of the nation address drags people away from my Twitter feed, so the government is diluting my speech. If the argument is just that the government can’t do anything that would make a citizen less heard, the government ceases to function because practically everything they do is more consequential than any citizens opinion.

The First Amendment doesn’t even say anything about being heard. It is a right to speak, not a right to be heard. Funding a candidate does not remove the right or ability for other candidates to speak.

> A better approach would be restricting all political advertising to some government provided platform.

This is not even close to passing even a cursory First Amendment analysis. Telling people they can’t advertise on Facebook/Google/etc is absolutely a First Amendment issue. It is literal speech, and the right to express it is abridged by location. This will never happen without an amendment.
I can't think of a worse time to transition to being a PM. In the old days most engineering teams PM'd their own work, and the role of PM grew into prominence as companies started hiring without care as part of a general strategy of growth (combined with a desire to reduce the power of engineering teams).

The people hit hardest by the contractions in tech tend to be PMs. While the best PMs can be incredibly helpful the average PM, in my experience, takes away from a projects probability of success.

If you want to be doing more product work, simply be more proactive in discussions involving product. If you have good product sense you'll naturally find that you spend more and more time making product decisions (most engineers don't want to do this anyway).

Another path to go is founding engineer. If you happen to be employee 1-3 and you choose to aggressively be involved in product decisions you'll find you quickly climb the ladder in small orgs and get a say in product decision. As the company grows you'll naturally find yourself in a role that has a lot of say in the way product is developed.
2. Except games...

But ARM and RISC-V are relatively similar and it's easy to add custom instructions to RISC-V to make them even more similar if you want so you could definitely do something like Rosetta.

No, it couldn’t. There were promises made with the full faith and credit of the United Stares.

I'm not a lawyer so I'll rephrase. In an alternate universe the U.S. government created a corporation to run Social Security. It mandated that people participate in it. Everyone called it a pension system because that it what it is.

Congress can amend them at will.

All pension systems are subject to amendment. Many pension systems have been amended over the years.

>It’s easy to claim a lot of things.

It certainly is easy to casually spread fear and doubt.

But it is really far-fetched to think that the people at Tenstorrent, who have successfully delivered very high performance microarchitectures in other companies before, are lying about Ascalon, and that LG is helping them do that.

It would even be more far fetched to claim that Ventana Veyron V2, SiFive P870, Akeana 5000-series, all of them available high performance IP, are lying about performance.

I think leetcode tends to be a randomized signal because if you've seen the problem before then it's easy, but if it's an unfamiliar problem (or class of problem) then you're basically being asked to be Knuth/Dijkstra/et al., but faster. Algorithm puzzles are fun, but they bear little resemblance to typical tech work.

I think doing very basic, simple things is a better test. I also like asking candidates to explain something that they already understand well. And for code, I like reading it and also getting an explanation about why things were done the way they were. Code reading also seems to be an important skill that is probably more important than writing.
>> When you hop, at least get promoted. That way it paints a better picture.

I mean, it does, but it's still got a good picture. It comes across as "I'll jump ship the moment a better offer comes along."

The problem with job-hoppers is that there are ones done for sensible reasons (I joined high-risk startups, but ultimately they failed, or got acquired or whatever) and ones who just treat the position as a placeholder until something better comes along, or until they get itchy feet etc.

It's hard during the hiring phase to tell the difference, so employers tend to err on the side of "why take the risk?" Especially in the current market where there are plenty of other applicants.

> having a course based on this as a credential.

I'm assuming you mean a single course? If so, this material would not be a standalone course. It would be baked into the entire bachelor's degree program. Some of the topics would maybe be more advanced or something that need to be demonstrated by being an EIT or writing the appropriate exams. For example, chapter 15 on engineering economics is a single class, but chapter 17 on mathematical foundations would cover at least 4 classes (discrete math, differential calculus, integral calculus, probability).

The US of A did have a software engineering principles and practices of engineering (PE) exam, but it's been discontinued, and I haven't managed to find an archived snapshot of the exam spec. I'm not American, but I think there is a common fundamentals of engineering (FE) exam [1] that has to be written to register as an EIT and then the PE [2] has to be written to be licensed and given the PE.

I'm not familiar with which American schools were ABET accredited in software engineering, but in Canada, several schools do have accredited software engineering majors. You can review the curriculum and see a fair amount of alignment to the SWEBOK topics. Again, some of these chapters could be split across multiple courses, but some chapters look more like a couple of weeks in one class.

For comparison, there is a 61 page industrial and systems engineering body of knowledge [3] available from the IISE (Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers), which is really just a couple short paragraphs on each topic, a list of key areas within each, and a list of reference books. At a quick glance, all of the areas correspond to sections in the industrial FE [4] and the industrial PE [5].

> There are way too many software engineers with lofty ideas about how physical engineers can magically know all the answers to all the problems they could ever have.

I'm not an engineer. I did an associates in engineering technology in Canada, so I'm a "pretengineer" at best. As far as I know, engineers in Canada have a discipline and then areas of practice. For industrial, there are 9 different areas of practice, but people are generally licensed to practice in 1 to 3.

In my region, software is not even broken out into its own areas of practice. Software is an area within computer engineering. I think software is way too vast right now and the expectations are much too big. So, the traditional engineers have much more limited scope problems. But I could be limited by my perspective and lack of license.

You might want to try Claude 3.5 Sonnet instead of Chat GPT. Claude 3.5 Sonnet seems to be a generational advance over earlier AIs like Chat GPT. I find that I can reliably uses it in cases where Chat GPT produces pure hallucinatory nonsense. I've only seen Claude hallucinate once, and that after I had incorrectly told it that its answer was wrong. It's not the only AI that does code well, but at this particular snapshot in time (Oct 2024), general concensus seems to be that it is currently the best.

It has fundamentally changed the way I write code. And I'm still exploring the boundaries of what kinds of tasks I can feed it. (45 year veteran senior programmer).

Sorry for the TLDR post, but I find it difficult to briefly make the case for why Claude 3.5 Sonnet (and other similarly modern and capable AIs) are fundamentally different from smaller and older AIs when it comes to use as a coding assistant.

I do use it for simple tedious things like "Convert an ISO date string in GMT to a std::chrono::systemclock::timepoint" (requires use of 3 generations of C/C++/Posix library functions that would take about 15 minutes of wading through bad documentation and several false starts to get right).

But have also had success with larger fragments ranging up to 100 or 200 lines of code. It still has distinct limitations (bizarre choices of functional composition, and an unpleasant predilection for hard-coded integer constants, which can be overcome with supplementary prompts. Seems to be brilliant tactically, and shows a terrifyingly broad knowledge of APIs and libraries across the the three platforms I use (android/javascript, typescript/React/MUI, C++/linux). But doesn't yet have a good sense of strategic coding (functional and class decomposition &c).And usually requires three or four supplementary prompts to get code into a state that's ready to copy and paste (and refactor some more). e.g. "Wrap that up in a class; use CamelCase for classnames, and camelCase for member names. ... &c &c.

And have also used it help me find solutions to problems that I've spent months on ("android, java: unable to connect to an IoT wi-fi hotspot without internet access when the data connection is active"; Claude:" blah blah ... use connectivityManager.bindProcessToNetwork()"!!!).

Or "C++/linux/asound library: why does this {3000 lines of code} fail to reliably recover from audio underruns".

And had some success with "find the wild memory write in this 900 line code fragment". Doesn't always work, but I've had success with it often enough that I'm going to use it lot more often.

And used it to write some substantial bash scripts that I just don't have the skills or literacy to deal with myself (long time Windows programmer, relative newcomer to linux).
Tell me explicitly what the difference between 1 person and 100 people are. What happens to their rights when you go from 1 to 1,000,000, what you can strip from them when you go from 1 to 335,893,238.

Enumerate specifically at which number rights begin to be eliminated, and why. Be careful, you might not like what the people actually think of you when you strip their rights from them. But since you are so adamant about the "stupidity" of Citizen's United, you ought to have an actual stance here. There is a number here, tell me, and everyone else here, what that number is, we don't even need to touch the rights if you are too skittish to answer.

That’s fair, but if you push someone to review your app they’re going to rate it as they see fit, based on what’s important to them, not what the developer thinks is important. If the user feels strongly about a particular element - such as a pop up asking for a rating - they’re going to rate it based on that element. A developer is always free to change the app if they think it’s useful to appeal to that group of users, or ignore that group of users and accept that they don’t like the way you designed the app.
