Sure, but CUDA is an AI/ML API, and anyways you're not doing blocking calls when writing a graphics engine regardless. (Well, you better not.) And anyways, these calls will already busyspin for a few millis before yielding to the OS - it's just that you have to explicitly opt in to the latter part. So these are the sorts of calls that you'd use for high-throughput work, but they behave like calls designed for very-low-latency work. There is no point in shaving a few milliseconds off a low-seconds call other than to make NVidia look a few percent better in benchmarks. The tradeoffs are all wrong, and because nobody knows about it, megawatts of energy are being wasted.

There isn't necessarily in humans either, but why build machines that just perpetuate human flaws: Would we want calculators that miscalculate a lot or cars that cannot be faster than humans?
My problem with all three of these features (besides the terrible privacy impact that other commenters have already addressed) is: As the end user, how do you know and verify the results are actually correct? How do you know the road sign was translated correctly? How do you know that the name of the church was actually correct? How do you know that the estimate given was even close?

Your examples were all pretty low-stakes, so I guess "it doesn't matter if it's correct" is fine for them. But what if you actually ended up relying on an answer to be correct and it wasn't? Would you independently verify the correctness, or just blindly operate on bad info?

> Often they target the lowest performers for such layoff.

In my experience, this is often an after-the-fact rationalization by people who "survive" layoffs to explain them, and a convenient justification by leadership for layoffs. If you've ever been in the room when layoffs are planned or discussed, the actual process is way more focused on blunt cost, personality of the people involved or on the chopping block, and is often practically a tossup considering "performance" is not really a clear or meaningful metric (actually, more often it's arbitrary for most companies --- they will find the metric they need to justify laying off someone). This phenomenon is greater the bigger the company and the more abstracted managers and leadership are from their lower level employees.
> but acting like petulant child and lashing out at CEO won't do much.

I don't think anyone is attacking the CEO with the expectation that he's got his iPad in-hand, reading every comment through his tears. What we are saying is that corporate doublespeak is unbelievably fucking grating when it doesn't correlate whatsoever with tangible change at the company. This kind of repeat behavior is what makes people (justifiably) laugh when CEOs walk out onstage.

Like when Tim Cook steps out on and insults us all perennially with his "best iPhone yet" comment. Like, duh, of-fucking-course it is! Why don't you tell me something I don't know, show me some form of change in your posture or the way you provide your products and services to me. Don't just advertise to me - convince me that you're not steering the company in a direction that sucks for everyone but the CEO.
Generally leaders are not going to fire each other.

So sometimes a doomed strategy will be pursued far longer than you'd expect, barring some board or activist intervention.

Some of it is self interest, some of it is hubris.. but also one can easily blame a bad run on some broader economic situation, specific competitor actions, or right strategy with wrong team (so fire the team) .. this works for a while until it doesn't.

I feel that discussion over papers like these so-often distill to conversations about how it's "impossible for a bot to know what's true", that we should just bite the bullet and define what we mean by "truth".

Some arguments seem to tacitly hold LLMs to a standard of full-on brain-in-a-vat solipsism, asking them to prove their way out, where they'll obviously fail. The more interesting and practical questions, just like in humans, seem to be a bit removed from that though.
I still think that HTML over the wire, regardless of your approach is ludicrous, given that HTMX and Hotwire have 15kb or 20kb of JavaScript minified and compressed respectively, you can do a lot more with 15k in JS than fetch and replace html from the server, hell, HTMZ proved that you dont need anywhere near as much for the basic features HTML over the wire provides you with. No matter how you do it, unless you do some level of complex prefetching (which at that point just use a UI library or handroll something, I have a reactive library that is ready to be used for interactive UI rendering with 663 bytes unminified but compressed https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RebootJS/reboot-poc/refs/h...) if you use HTML over the wire, you will give your users a bad experience.
> But are you not expected to work those 3 months?

When you are leaving on your own term yes.

When you are laid off you are technically still an employee for those 3 months but nowadays many companies will just tell you to not show up for security reason.
the post only talks about "future state", maybe I'm not clearly to point out this. with epoll, accept syscall and future state changing is happened in the same polling, which io_uring is not. Once accept syscall is complete, future has already advanced to complete, but actually it is not at that moment in the real world Rust.

Yes, most layoffs I've seen in my career are of the "mass layoff" variety, and these are generally far from being performance based.

There's just too many people, the decision making is too quick, at too high a level.. and more driven by cost / future strategy (so which teams to cut deeper).

Managing Terraform and Terragrunt at scale can be challenging! My team was spending much time identifying affected stacks and dealing with plan and apply processes, leading to increased drift risks.

This article details why and how we developed Terraflow to have stack detection, manage dependencies, and simplify our deployment workflows.
I'd rather take having a tech industry at all and the 2-4X bigger US salaries (and 30% lower average taxes) than having my fellow citizens shoulder the burden of giving me 6-12 months of daycare.

In the US luckily the job market is still quite dynamic (and extremely tight by historical standards) so only in an extreme scenario would someone with Dropbox on their resume need 12 months to find another job.

They might have to take a pay cut from a 99th percentile salary to a 96th percentile salary though. Rough, I know.

Exactly, it looks like it's clicking for you. Just telling people to move more doesn't work. I'm glad we've finally come to agreement on something that is an obvious reality.

> I'm arguing against policy being the only solution and you took that to mean something else

And additional solutions include...? Oh, fuck all? Because, as a reminder, you haven't actually proposed anything. You've just been talking out of your ass and saying things that directly contradict with reality.

Yes, it would be nice if we could just say "eat less" and magically solve everything. That is about the level of problem solving I'd expect from a 5 year old, so at least you've gotten there.

But dig deeper. Think critically. Do you think if I stood on the street corner and held a sign that said "dope is bad" addiction would go away? Now what if I employed policies to limit the amount of opiates distributed?

What sounds more feasible to you? Employing policies that help people lose weight? Or collectively brainwashing billions of people globally so they lose the weight themselves? Are you seeing how one is an actual solution, and the other is the dreams of a child?
It's true, and so subtle that a lot of people don't even notice it.

But a good graphics rendering engine will do it. Shadows should carry a slight tint from the color of the sky.

I have a 16" M1 Pro with 16 gigs of ram, and it regularly struggles under the "load" of Firebase emulator.

You can tell not because the system temp rises, but because suddenly Spotify audio begins to pop, constantly and irregularly.

It took me a year to figure out that the system audio popping wasn't hardware and indeed wasn't software, except in the sense that memory (or CPU?) pressure seems to be the culprit.
I believe the IEEE and others also would come under the exceptions to the "almost" - anything you'd have to make a special effort to seek out and purchase.

In context, (my interpretation is that) "standard" includes things like The Time Zone Information Format [1], the GNU docs about TZ [2], etc. I think the idea is to say "the documents laying out the details of complicated things are still just documents, you can read them if you're interested and don't have to just see them as meant of domain experts. Some of them have barriers to access like the ISO documents, but even excepting those you have direct access to most everything you might want to understand, don't let the idea of standards intimidate you."

What Companies Do Well Is Not Necessarily How They Make Money
> but cyclists feel they are exempt from the rules of traffic, making the situation worse in some immature act of defiance.

The vast majority of drivers are continuously violating laws. On top of the continuous speeding violation (+10-15 is surely ok?) add the occasional roll through, failures to yield, failure to use a turn signal, speeding in school zones, passing without sufficient distance, running reds, double parking, etc and the police pretty much always can pull over any given automobile driver. This fact is well known: the default state of a driver is one of rule breaking.

Primary attribution fallacy is the contextualization of our own errors or rule violations while attributing those of strangers to character flaws (immature, defiant). You pass drivers doing all of the above things every day, but it is the cyclists you notice because they are different and the other drivers are surely doing the same as you. But you understand the context in which you violate laws or make mistakes.

It is not that hard to understand that everyone is human.
I feel exactly the same. The one thing that would get me to pull the trigger on a newer one is if they start supporting SVE2 instructions, which would be super useful for a specific programming project I’ve been playing with.
> Perhaps ~4 efficiency cores is simply just enough for the average MBP user's standard compute?

I believe that’s the case. Most times, the performance cores on my M3 Pro laptop remain idle.

What I don’t understand is why battery life isn’t more like that of the MacBook Airs when not using the full power of the SOC. Maybe that’s the downside of having a better display.
I got an MBP M1 with 32gb of RAM. It'll probably be another 2-3 years or longer before I feel the pressure to upgrade if not longer. I've even started gaming (something I dropped nearly 20 years ago when I switched to mac) again due to Geforce Now, I just don't see the reason.

Frankly though, if the mac mini was a slightly lower price point I'd definitely create my own mac mini cluster for my AI home lab.
But without offering an objective model for how that could happen, it’s just wish-fulfillment fantasy.

The Singularity is the rapture of the nerds, and is about as likely to happen as the second coming of Jesus.

That’s because today’s hw is perfectly capable of running tomorrow’s software at reasonable speed. There aren’t huge drivers of new functionality that needs new software. Displays are fantastic, cellular speeds are amazing and can stream video, battery life is excellent, UIs are smooth with no jankiness, and cameras are good enough.

Why would people feel the need to upgrade?

And this applies already to phones. Laptops have been slowing for even longer.

They supposedly have the same base brightness (500 nits), with Pro allowing up to 1000 in HDR mode (and up to 1600 peak).

Air doesn't support 120Hz refresh either.

There's an app that allows to unlock max brightness on Pros (Vivid)[0] even without HDR content (no affiliation).

HDR support is most noticeable when viewing iPhone photos and videos, since iPhones shoots in HDR by default.

(Your comment was dead but I vouched for it because I want to explain why youve failed to appreciate an important distinction.)

tldr: the redundancy is not the announcement

I think people (and I include myself) do understand that companies need to adjust their workforce. I think that decision is not wholly moral in nature. But it does have a moral component - and Dropbox seems to appreciate that somewhat in the assistance they're providing the people who are leaving.

But what isn't moral is an individual announcing publicly that they take responsibility for acts that cause trauma to others (however constrained that decision was) while in reality that responsibility-taking involves no consequences at all the individual. None.

In the large train station in the city where I live, the automated voice announcements "apologise" for train cancellations. I'd argue that this is as empty and insulting as this CEO's email - because no responsibility has in fact been taken. The CEOs words and the announcement software are as morally empty as eachother.
Every new product or market usually also needs additional investments, maybe even new workers with relevant domain knowledge. And Dropbox did try new products and markets, but what if it's not working out? Should they continue until money runs out?

And some interesting part of this announcement is the mentioning of the grown overcomplex management. This kinda smells of some shrinking for health-benefits. For some reason or another, they grew into a wrong direction, and maybe now remove the unhealthy parts to be able to operate better.
Doesn't your link also say this?

A feature of what? Surely Jobs didn't expect a feature of Windows, OSX, Android, Linux, and ChromeOS to all seamlessly interact with one another.

I don't doubt that Jobs might have seen Dropbox as a feature that Apple could have implemented across the Apple ecosystem, but that's a pretty limited view of where the value of Dropbox lies.

Sure, but it's pretty obvious that exposing most of your activity except for the start and end location will do that. Strava allows you to choose the hidden radius from a range of values between 1/8 mile and a full mile. That's a pretty wide area. (And you can always make specific activities or your entire account private.)

Anyway, I think true claims make for much more interesting criticism than false claims.
