Nah. AMD discreet GPUs are fantastic in Linux these days. You don't need to install a proprietary driver! They just work. It's really nice not having to think about the GPU's drivers or configuration at all.

The only area where AMD's discreet GPUs are lagging behind is AI stuff. You get a lot more performance with Nvidia GPUs for the same price. For gaming, though AMD is the clear winner in the price/performance space.

Of course, Nvidia is still a bit of a pain but it's of their own making. You still need to install their proprietary driver (which IMHO isn't that big a deal) but the real issue is that if you upgrade your driver from say, 550 to 555 you have to rebuild all your CUDA stuff. In theory you shouldn't have to do that but in reality I had to blow away my venv and reinstall everything in order to get torch working again.
> The market already figured out that it doesn't want leading edge manufacturing in the US.

Exactly. The market figured out there's a lot of short-term profit to be made for shareholders in selling off the nation's industry, and moving it down the value chain. They're running the country like a legacy business they're winding down.

Give Wall Street a few more decades, and the US will have an agriculture and resource extraction economy.
> they'll be getting that anyway if Intel folds.

Why would Intel "fold"? Their revenue is still 2x higher than AMDs... I mean obviously they are not doing great but its silly to say something like that at this point.
I would be surprised if he made any official decisions based on his faith.
Just stop buying new intel chips, and continue buying Arm chips. Its not like every single existing x86 CPU would need to be taken away and destroyed.

Apple has made it fairly obvious, even if it was not already with smartphones and chromebooks, that Arm is a viable, realistic, and battle-tested alternative for general purpose computing. Windows 11 even runs on Arm already.

It would not happen "tomorrow" - this would be years in court if nothing else. This would give Dell/HP/Lenovo/whoever plenty of time to start building Arm laptops & servers etc for the European market.

And who knows what RISC-V will look like in a few more years?

The EU has done a bunch of stupid anti-consumer shit in tech already (hello cookie warnings that everyone now ignores), so I would not be surprised if this happened.
Do you think by "remnants of colonialism" the OP meant "capitalism"? It's plain to me that he did not. I read it as him meaning an extensive bureaucracy designed to control the subject population is still in place and causing the price of the good to rise while the actual people who produce and innovate the product are left out of sharing in the windfall.

You say colonialism opened up Kenya to the global market. But nearly every country in the world, the colonized and the uncolonized, is now part of the global market, so it is not true that Kenya would not be part of the global market today without it.
Julia gets a lot of things right. Going back and forth between Julia and Python, there are things to appreciate about either, but I think it is very clear that Julia has really moved this space forward.

Unfortunately, it has also done so by ignoring a lot of hard-earned wisdom. My personal pet peeve is Concepts/Constraints ala C++. C++ added this after years of pain to make templates more manageable. It's a feature of many different languages, from Haskell to Rust/Mojo to C++. So there seems to be a pretty broad consensus that something like this is good to have. Yet, I don't see Julia getting them any time soon...
Last report I read it was ~80% (Intel) vs ~20% (AMD) for PC market. And ~75% (Intel) vs ~25% (AMD) for data center servers.
> An x86 monopoly in the late 80s was a thing, but not now.

Incorrect, we have an even greater lack of x86 vendors now than we did in the 80s. In the 80s you had Intel, and they licensed to AMD, Harris, NEC, TI, Chips & Technologies, and in the 90s we had IBM, Cyrix, VIA, National Semi, NexGen, and for a hot minute Transmeta. Even more smaller vendors.

Today making mass market x86 chips we have: Intel, AMD, and a handful of small embedded vendors selling designs from the Pentium days.

I believe what you meant was that x86 is not a monopoly thanks to other ISAs, but x86 itself is even more of a monopoly than ever.

Orion browser silently pings page's previously opened links for no reason
I have just installed Orion, the seventh browser I try to make my daily driver, on a MBP M1. As I started using it in some web dev I noticed the page was loading slower than usual. I checked the access logs and it looked like I had been opening the page on average every second or so since I first opened it with Orion. Here's an example traversal of the page:

- When typing in the page's URL, a random assortment of previously opened pages was pinged.

- When opening the frontpage, it got pinged three or four times.

- When opening a subpage, it was pinged once but then 3s later again, along with the front page.

- When going back to the front page, it was pinged three times, then 3s later the previous subpage along with the frontpage.

- When closing the tab the frontpage was pinged again.

I tested this a couple times to the same effect. Has anyone else seen this stuff happen?
> ..open source AI tooling for it will start sprouting...

AMD has tried this for many of its technologies and I don't think it is working. Granted, they suck at open sourcing, but a shitload of it was open sourced. See TinyGrad voyage into the Red Box driver (streams on youtube).
Just focus first on the MVP:

* traffic segmentation

* code injection

* goal definition

* counting goal completion per bucket

If you do those you have a crude product. I intentionally did not mention analytics, because it’s a big effort and not the most critical thing. I know it’s what sales, but you need a real product before you can sale anything.
It's great! However the whole page disappears if you deselect the checkbox. I think the checkboxes really want to be radio buttons.
While people believe this, SMIC is producing AI chips that are already competitive with NVDA. Considering that China is the top market for AI technology, the idea that SMIC is not competitive with other chip manufacturers will invalidate itself rather quickly.
And if I rip a blu ray to my hard drive and then give the hard drive to my friend so he can output a movie is just the same as if I had told him my recollections of the movie from my brain. Both are claims you can make without anything to back them up.
Thank you for saying this. It's clear that processors are going through something really interesting right now after an extended dwindling and choke point onto x86. This x86 dominance has lasted entire careers, but from a longer perspective we're simply seeing another cycle in ecosystem diversity, specialized functions spinning out of and back into unified packages, and a continued downward push from commoditization forces that are affecting the entire product chain from fab to ISA licensing. We're not quite at the wild-west of the late 80s and 90s, but something's in the air.

It seems almost like the forces that are pushing against these long-term trends are focused more on trying to figure out how to saturate existing compute on the high-end, and using that to justify drives away from diversity and vertical integrated cost/price reduction. But there are, long-term, not as many users who need to host this technology as there are users of things like phones and computers who need the benefits the long-term trends provide.

Intel has acted somewhat as a rock in a river, and the rest of the world is finding ways around them after having been dammed up for a bit.
This would almost certainly get me fired, but I would simply refuse the request. If I truly don't believe anyone on my team has earned themselves a spot on a PIP I wouldn't put anyone on one.

I have to expect the response would be either (a) threatening to fire me or (b) threatening to force my boss to make the decision with less knowledge of each of my reports' performance. In either case, though, those aren't my decisions to make and I can only take control of whether or not I'm willing to PIP reports that I don't think deserve it.
I mean, even if it's not a tech company, this process takes years and can be achieved only with a ton of experience.
This article really hits home—remote work has so many benefits, but the loneliness it can bring is a real challenge. Finding ways to build connections outside of work feels more important than ever. You should check out 'amiqo', a new app I'm working on to try and address this. Would appreciate any feedback!
I’d recommend checking out Stagehand if you want to use something that’s more AI first! It’s like the AI powered successor to playwright: https://github.com/browserbase/stagehand

Perhaps not. But (unlike in this hypothetical situation) nobody besides AMD and Intel can do much about that...
A browser extension would have to run on individual/personal browser; we're focused on providing infrastructure to run hundreds of browsers that you can connect to with code -- whether for automation or information retrieval.

Curious, what made you think browser extension first? :)
He did not get Larrabee flying but yeah it was after him that intel did not put the effort into what was needed.

Nonetheless his comment on nvidia being lucky was everything than a smart comment.
> He failed on GPU. The product was substandard.

I will never understand this line of reasoning. Why would anyone expect an initial offering to match or best similar offerings from the industry leader? Isn't it understood that leadership requires several revisions to get right?
I second keeping social media apps off your mobile device, including the likes of YouTube. You'll find your checking habit significantly drop.

For a lot of people this is not possible, as they don't own another device. An alternative option is to turn on the "face down, go into silent mode" on your mobile device to keep it from nagging you.
I agree in general, however when you actually interact with these places you soon realise that the markets are completely skewed by corrupt practices of various kinds (not just cash bribery). I don’t know whether you’ve ever been to Kenya or anywhere else in East Africa but it’s obvious how things work after just a short time there.

What’s described in the article is a situation where the government has introduced export licensing and endorsed a coop system that effectively cements organizations in their current positions in the market.

It’s not just governments that do this, commercial interests do too by acting as gatekeepers.

I am by no means “putting capitalism in my gunsights” here - however it’s clear that one of the issues is corrupt and poor regulation. That’s not to say there shouldn’t be regulation, but that it should aim at stimulating a fair market where honest traders are able to transact freely and dishonesty is punished.
Are you talking about current accusations against Paul Watson?

The grenades were « smelly ones », not the one to kill. Also that Japanese sailor that accuse Paul, actually did harm himself by sending a projectile in the wind opposite direction, therefore the projectile came back to him. There à public footage showing it. The court didn’t accept to see it yet, because it would Free Paul from charges. This is a political case.

He said, on multiple occasions he was opposed to cutting Medicaid, but he did so. He signed a later saying climate change was one of the most extant problems the world faces then later called it a hoax.

He was for universal healthcare, he was for lgbtq people, etc etc.

There are many many such instances.
You'd have to be foolish or blind to not see how the ditribution of wealth in our current world closely follows what it was under colonialism. Sorry, but colonialism was a net negative for Kenyans and many other.

Kenyans can't fight the "monopolies" and "cartels", indirectly funded by western actors to keep exploiting their cheap labor to cultivate coffee. The large coffee market you speak of is not elevating the average man, stuck in a lobor-intensive and severly underpaid activity, benefiting a global system of exploitation.
Marketing campaigns only go so far. They’ve been riding the “Intel Inside” slogan for 25 years.

In the mean time, AMD/ARM already won phones, table and game consoles.

Server purchasing decisions aren’t made by everyday people. Intel’s roadmap in that space slipped year for year for at least 10 of the last 15 years.

That leaves Intel with the fraction of the non-mac laptop market that’s made up of people that haven’t been paying attention for the last ten years, and don’t ask anyone who has.
If only there were some way to adjust for that difference when viewed on a different type of medium, such as a high-DPI LED-backlit liquid crystal display.

Unfortunately, the web wasn't designed that way, which is why every document that you read on a website instead of on paper is illegible.

It's a shame, really. :) /s
To counteract the current carbon dioxide emissions, we only have to heat up 30 million metric tons of that stuff from ambient to 60°C every 18.8 minutes. And then figure out what to do with the 1.35 million metric tons carbon dioxide gas cloud we produce every 18.8 minutes.
Could someone explain to me what "container" means in this context and why would I want to use "containers" for URLs / domains?
> What the EU gonna do then?

Seize or terminate their patents and copyrights. Issue arrest warrants for criminal evasion. Compulsory licensing of x86 to a European design firm immunized by EU law.

> Perform rapid continental ARM transition

Yes.

Windows is on ARM. Apple is on ARM. AWS and Ampere make decent ARM servers. You have decent x86 user-space compatibility on ARM laptops. That is all users want.

I doubt it will cost 'mythical amounts of money'. Most users use a web browser and an office suite. I doubt they will know a difference for a while.
US government wouldn't let intel down, this is matter of national security (only grown semiconductor fabs left on US soil) and edge of US tech dominance

> And ~75% (Intel) vs ~25% (AMD) for data center servers.

IIRC their data center CPU revenue was about even this quarter so this is a bit deceptive (i.e. you can buy 1 large CPU instead of several cheaper ones).
Looks like your post is talking about two things -- corporate purchased laptops and AWS instances, which are quite different.

About corporate laptops, do you have evidence to show that companies are switching to Macbooks from HP/Dell/ThinkPads?
You really don't need all 10 people on-call to know k8s to that level. They just need to know enough as to when to wake someone else up.

Everywhere I have worked where we have run clusters in the 100s to 1000s of nodes we have rarely had a team larger than 4-5 of true k8s folks and even then it's been a split between folks that are very hardware provisioning/network/etc focused and more higher level k8s folk which also take on a large portion of CI/CD work also.

At smaller scale (in the $1M/yr ballpark) I have done all the k8s bare metal ops myself along with all CI/CD and been responsible for a ton of the backend programming too.
This is feasible because with distros like Talos etc it doesn't take a lot of manpower once it's setup and upgrades aren't too painful at small scale if you aren't running stateful services.

So tbh no, you just need ideally 2 folks at around ~200k/yr each that are competent and have done it before. The rest of the folks on the on-call rotation are just the rest of your engineers (and if you are at $1m/yr cloud spend you have more than 10 of those).
Did you do the few hundred problems before that build up the techniques and theorems?

> given so many competing priorities,

Undoubtedly, the best time to do this was when you were young. The second best time is now. Pick a book and work on a problem or 2 every day. It will likely take 6 months or so but you will learn the material. This is an incredible way to level up in a technical area.

Imagine how much knowledge is in CLRS.
Except the middlemen in this case have continued through from the colonial period, with seemingly little competition since. And it's also mandated that you can sell only through the middlemen and not independently, and you start to wonder if they're just bribing politicians to keep the system rigged in their favour.

The problem is that if what they say were true it would be hard to believe that Gelsinger, the main supporter of 18A as the savior of the company, would have accepted to be retired before enjoying the success of his efforts.

The forced retirement can be explained only in two ways, either the 18A is projected to be a failure and USA has lost any chances to become competitive with TSMC, or the retirement has been imposed by political forces that are completely incompetent and which do not understand anything about the semiconductor industry, and also in this case it seems likely that USA will fail to become great again in semiconductor IC manufacturing.
This is a regular sight when accessing a US government computer system. Even managing things like Global Entry come with such a warning.
When you consider that most of human discovery eventually relates back to wanting to take care of cats, I'd say it's more Nobel worthy.
We know from papers published by Bell labs that there were two other UNIX kernel implementations that ran on top of foreign kernels:

One ran on top of Sperry/Univac OS2200 EXEC-8 (and this was the first SMP UNIX AFAIK):

https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/otherports/newp.pdf

"The UNIX system for the UNIVAC 1100 series was built as an integrated development environment
for transactions that run directly on EXEC. Unlike most other implementations, therefore, it runs not
directly on the hardware but as a collection of user-level activities under control of EXEC. These obtain
services that would normally be provided by device drivers, and some process creation and management
services from EXEC. Any configuration supplied by Sperry, including multiprocessor ones, can run the
UNIX system."

A Bell Labs port to an IBM mainframe ran on top of TSS/370:

https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/otherports/ibm.pdf

"Of the available systems, TSS/370 came the closest to meeting our needs and was thus chosen as the
base for our UNIX system implementation. The choice of TSS/370 was a controversial one; it is a little
known and inadequately documented system. Still, it came the closest to providing the structure and function needed to support UNIX system processes, and it appeared that it could be enhanced to provide any
missing functions with reasonable effort. In 1979 we proposed to IBM that they make the necessary modifications to the TSS supervisor to support UNIX system processes, according to our design. IBM agreed to
do so under a program license agreement, and the first version of the enhanced TSS was delivered in 1980."
You're most certainly right. I called this creative account and people didn't like it, but it is 100% true and companies do it all day long.

The original "5 Nodes in 4 Years" roadmap released in mid 2021 had 18A entering production 2H 2024. So it's already "delayed". The updated roadmap has it coming in Q3 2025 but I don't think anyone ever believed that. This after 20A was canceled, Intel 4 is only used for the Compute Tile in Meteor Lake, Intel 3 only ever made it into a couple of server chips, and Intel 7 was just renamed 10nm.
He was CEO. Chief executing officer. It's literally his job to execute, i.e. fix that stuff/ensure it doesn't happen. Get them out of Russia, poach new devs, have a backup team, delay the product (i.e. no HVM until good drivers are in sight). That's literally his job.

This only reinforces my previous point. He had good ideas, but couldn't execute.
Kitteh is not stupid.

Mathematical definitions are precise. If you miss one part of a definition, then you cannot actually understand what the definition actually means.

You have to internalize the meaning also, but you must know the definition precisely.
I mean, ARM designs have had some wins lately, but x86 still does quite well in single-thread performance, right? Excluding Apple, because they are magic—Amazon, Ampere, these ARM CPUs make a reasonable pitch for applications that use lots of cores well, but that isn’t every application.
Any recommendations on learning to "think clearly"? I feel like this is something I struggle quite a bit with and haven't found any good resources on improving it other than "sleep" and "exercise", which I'm not lacking in.
Yes, that's the upside. That's why people want a meaningful fee.

> The xenomorph’s multicellular structure serves as a cornerstone for its classification within Animalia (Ros-Rocher et al., 2021). Its intricate organization of cells, tissues, and organs reflects a level of biological complexity commonly associated with animals.

This is already wrong! Animalia is an Earth kingdom, and the Xenomorphs clearly aren't an Earth life-form.

> Xenomorphs can be included into the Arthropoda phylum due to the morphological similarities shared with certain terrestrial arthropods such as an exoskeletal structure, a segmented body plan, the presence of hemolymph, etc.

Again, no! They're not an Earth life-form. Just because they superficially resemble some arthropods in some features doesn't make them an arthropod! You might as well say that a train is an arthropod - exoskeletal structure, segmented body plan, the presence of hemolymph...
