We have a worked example for geologically stable carbon sequestration without any novel chemical bonding, and that's storing carbon in compounds that are mostly unhydrogenated carbon by mass, deep underground:

Charcoal. If you aim to sequester carbon without some kind of reactant (and most reactants are incredibly energy intensive to make & stage, burning more CO2 than captured), you have to effectively make charcoal. Growing a forest, pyrolyzing it, and burying the charcoal, is the inverse process of coal mining, and is the default comparator on cost, effort, and materials for any sort of carbon sequestration scheme.
The mistake Pat Gelsinger made was that he put his faith in the American manufacturing workforce. Very sad.
It's about relationships. Abstraction is the tool for understanding those relationships.
This is all very true and why I think a merger between AMD and Intel is even possible. Nvidia and Intel is also a possible merger, but I actually think there is more regulatory concern with NVIDIA and how big and dominant they are becoming.
Eh well they were defined in the world where human intelligence was the only thing around, so there were... baked in assumptions. But as the current definitions go, I don't think there's any need for included consciousness or self awareness for these terms to apply, despite what people seem to immediately jump to. There's no part where it needs to mean human-level proficiency either.

Understanding is having knowledge about something, reasoning is making logical conclusions from it, and intelligence is being able to do it continuously with newly presented information. All things that well trained LLMs can arguably do to a detectable extent.
The market share is incredibly small but also incredibly well aimed.

The people learning how to do local LLMs will be the people directing build out of on-prem transformers for small-midsize companies. The size of the market is irrelevant here, it's who is in that market and the power they will have that is extremely relevant.
PCIe lanes and DDR channels take up the most pins on a CPU connector (ignoring power). The common solution (for desktops) is to have a newest generation protocol (5) at the CPU level, then use the chipset to fan out more lanes at a lower generation (4).

> Yes so let's focus on that instead of data centers. Data centers are not the problem!

This is like saying I shouldn’t care about pollution from the local auto painting shop because there are strip mines somewhere else. Yes, it’s not the top priority but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be trying to reduce pollution just as we are for every large producer, and with both LLMs and cryptocurrency having potential demand outstripping the existing supply we have every reason to expect continued growth in emissions at a time when we need decline.

Rather than taking this so personally, consider that people on HN talk about it because our choices actually matter here. Very few of us affect heavy industrial policy but all of us can think about how much our applications need to run.
Pat was at the helm for just a few years and has already been sent to the guillotine.

Maybe it isn’t wise that the USA dump billions into private companies that can’t even get their own house in order.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the next CEO installed by the board will be hellbent on prepping INTC for sale. A few of the board of directors of INTC are from private investment firms.
SEY is a roaster that's pushing back on these things, in addition to having fantastic coffee. They have a very detailed breakdown of costs and value-add at every step along the way from farm to roaster.

> Putting it another way: We're losing wars whether we make our silicon toys here or in Taiwan or if Taiwan gets China'd. I want my tax dollars put to better use than Intel.

I think you should move to China, instead of moving all of us there. If you hand China all the technological cards, because muh tax dollars, that's just what you'll do. The international order will reconfigure around China and its desires, and the US will become increasingly irrelevant as it looses capability and walks down the value chain towards a resource extraction and agriculture economy.

And don't think the market will create a new domestic entry into one of these capital-heavy industries, once the domestic competitor is gone: it'll always be cheaper to buy from China, so the market will buy from China. It'll take a lot more taxpayer money to build a new Intel foundry business than to save the existing one.
People miss this. A lot of people will only buy Intel. Businesses and IT departments rarely buy AMD, not just out of brand loyalty, but because of the software and hardware features Intel deploys that are catered to the business market.

Emulation as a whole is a magical dark art to me, but I am always particularly impressed by the exhaustive (but very readable!) detail in these Dolphin status reports. If other software projects had a fraction of the attention to detail and commitment as Dolphin, we'd be living in a better world.
The GPUs aren't a stupid idea. Right now Nvidia basically controls the market and has totally abandoned the lower/mid range end.

Intel has made vast improvements even within their first generation of dedicated desktop cards. They will likely never compete with cards like a 4080/4090, but they may be great options for people on a budget. Helps put pressure on AMD to be better as well.
It's some colored aloe gel (written in the next). And actual VX is probably not fluorescent green...
Interesting. I wonder why the five pentagons were needed. Is that because hat can't tile a sphere? Or some other requirement when assembling the ball?
Gelsinger doesn't think there will be any demand at all for GPUs in the near future!

From: https://www.techspot.com/news/105407-intel-not-repeat-lunar-...

He may have been talking about something like, "all GPU stuff will just be integrated into the CPU" but I highly doubt that's realistic. Nvidia's latest chip die size is enormous! Their new 5090 die is reportedly 744mm squared: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/the-rtx-5090...

There's no way you're going to be getting an equivalent level of performance from a CPU with integrated GPU when the GPU part of the die needs to be that big.
Computer Modern immediately signals to me "This was written in [Xe|Lua|]LaTeX". That alone has value; at the absolute least it tells me that the person writing it knows enough about computers to drive LaTeX to produce a compiled document.

If reviewing e.g. applications from undergraduates for a summer studentship, that signal is a subconscious hint saying 'read this a bit more closely' if nothing else.

Intel doesn't have to open source anything. People will build everything needed to run intel cards efficiently as there is currently zero options for affordable video cards with high memory.

It's either old slow Tesla cards with 48GB or $2000 nvidia cards with 24GB.

You can choose between time of the road trip to the place + road morts vs flight time + flight morts.
Yep. But if it still commands economic value for its creator and you cut that off, then it is reducing that incentive to create and cultivate in the first place.
> Intel needed to be split in two as well

Wouldn't that just pretty much guarantee that the foundry business would fail since Intel wouldn't have any incentives to shift most of their manufacturing to TSMC? The same thing happened with AMD/Global Foundries..
It's the sort of cultural blindness that comes with not being able to read the native languages in all 150 countries this person's claimed to have visited.

Once you're able to read a new language, you see all kinds of new signs, especially when you visit a new country.

It's like how people who only read English think of Japan as some kind of blissful artspace, when the reality is that it is far more overloaded with ads than Western countries. Your mind just processes it as abstractions because you can't read the language.
My son and I have been thinking about what video games could be with generative AI.

The north star is OASIS from Ready Player One, that is some kind of game framework in which any kind of game could be constructed easily. VR content isn't going to become mainstream until authoring costs drop a lot.

Horizon Worlds wants to be OASIS but falls far short. Not because it's a bad idea but because it's a difficult problem with difficult trade-offs. A game like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas or Wrath of Asgard 2 makes large 3-d worlds look easy but when I develop content based on my photography I realize quickly that it is easy to fill the memory of my Quest 3 and when I think about it, I realize that GTA doesn't have any textures as detailed as my photos. There is a trade off between ease of development and runtime performance, and something like OASIS means a revolution in the first while maintaining excellent performance in the second.

So far I've been talking about graphics but story is just as interesting.

In the game Danganronpa for instance, you need to solve a string of murder mysteries to win the game. It's kinda disappointing that "who did it" is fixed from playthrough to playthrough. Danganronpa has relatively simple 2-d graphics and is a different problem than 3-d games, but one can see how a game like that could be a lot bigger than it actually is.

Similarly there is the interactive fiction world of

https://ganelson.github.io/inform-website/

Where you can "write" an adventure game in a scripting language that looks a lot like English. It's a neat trick but it's lacking the real interactivity that is lacking from all video games today which is dialogue. Cast members at places like Disneyworld and Colonial Williamburg can have a real conversation with you and so should video game characters.
For PC’s that can’t be right. For overall consumer, Windows is at 25.75%, Linux is 1.43% and MacOS is at 5.53%.

Ignoring ChromeOS, and assuming 100% of windows and linux is x86 (decreasingly true - the only win11 I’ve ever seen is an arm VM on my mac) and 100% of Mac is arm (it will be moving forward), that puts arm at 20% of the PC market.

Interpolation from your numbers puts intel at 64% (with a ceiling of 80% of PC; 25% of consumer computing devices unless windows makes a comeback).

He's also 63. Has plenty of money to survive the rest of his life. Has eight grandchildren. There's so much more to life than business. What's to say he doesn't want to simply enjoy life with more connection and community to loved ones around him?
It's worth noting that this lab has a lot of patents: https://yaghi.berkeley.edu/publications.html#patent

It's not clear that this particular chemical is subject to a patent application, but they have applied for a patent on the entire class of chemicals: https://patents.google.com/patent/US20220370981A1

I'm conflicted about this. while I'm skeptical about most patents this is exactly the kind of invention that patents are supposed to incentivise, and this guy obviously deserves a reward if his invention, like, literally saves the world. But - reading between the lines, while it's effective, it sounds like it's not yet cost effective. And making something cost effective is exactly the kind of thing that patents that restrict development to a single lab (which is what a class patent will do) will cause problems with.

Probably the best answer would be for someone rich to buy him out and licence it for free.
I've never liked "xenomorph" as a name for them. It's like calling them "serpentines" if they were snake-shaped or "quadrupeds" if they had 4 legs. So-called fandoms really are filled with stooges.

"Making up your own rules" is literally what mathematics is, though. Using that as a counterargument to using a specific set of axioms tells me you don't understand mathematics.

This post is quite rude and dismissive to people who enjoy math but struggle with it.
This sounds like DDD done wrong. Just because two concepts have the same name doesn't mean that they are the same thing. Drawing the boundaries of the bounded contexts is hard though, which is why shops often struggle with DDD.

For example if I'm building a pharmacy system a prescription means something to a patient, but also means something different (but similar) to a fulfillment team member. The prescription might have a prescriber, and its important for the patient to know the name, address and contact information of the prescriber. But for fullfulment purposes I don't care about the address or phone number, just the NPI, full name and title for labeling purposes. This doesn't just extend to data, but to actions, a patient can't "ship" a prescription and fullfulment can't "renew" a prescription. In a DDD model these should be two separate objects.
The 10.000 was a misquote from the original paper they referenced:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-021-01550-6

Here you can read that, in fact, a class 1.000 cleanroom was used.

This is also consistent with the description of the facility:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterrestrial_Sample_Curati...

According to the paper, five different chambers were used. You can read the entire procedure down to materials of cleaning spatulas.
Naive array programming is not really high performance in my book, because performing a lot of trivial arithmetic on large arrays leads to poor locality and high bandwidth pressure. The better alternative is SPMD, i.e. something like CUDA or ISPC for CPUs. This is possible with some type of JIT if the numpy style of programming is to be maintained, for example tinygrad.
I believe the "x86 monopoly" was meant to refere to how only Intel and AMD are legally allowed to make x86 chips due to patents. X86 is currently a duopoly, and if Intel and AMD were to merge, that would become a monopoly.
> He failed on GPU. The product was substandard.

Weren't they pretty good (price/performance) after Intel fixed the drivers during the first year or so after release? The real failure was taking so long to ship the next gen..
Allergies are the result of an overactive immune system, which does not mean it’s weak. It can be quite the opposite, unless you constantly trigger them obviously.
Oh, poor multi billion company. We should buy its product with poor value, just to make it feel better.

Intel had money and decades of integrated GPU experience. Any new entrant to the market must justify the value to the buyer. Intel didn't. He could sell them cheap to try to make a position in the market, though I think that would be a poor strategy (didn't have financials to make it work).
The VAT is an broad tax that is eaten fully by the working class, and partially ignored by the owning class (the more you own, the easier it is).

I've never paid VAT on my school stuff (notebooks,pens...) because my uncle owned a company. His wife owned a sport shop and I never paid VAT on any of my sports equipment until 10 years ago when I realized how privileged I was. No VAT on most food because I lived on a farm (that I think is fair), and my other uncle managed to escape the VAT on solar panels by making his own roof a part of his power company. He still had to pay the VAT on his swimming pool (probably), but I'm pretty sure his cars were VAT-free until he sold everything (he had to buy them from himself).

VAT evasion is the reason why independent contractors should start a LLC that employ themselves instead of getting a 'self-employed' status, at least in my country.
My first thought was why would someone want to do this, like they're glamorizing a weapon that causes mass horrors and misery.

But I did just spend hours of the holiday weekend playing a typical video game that's pretty much entirely about shooting people. (And in this case with a sprinkling of sometimes running them through with a machete instead.)

So maybe we already society-wide glamorize weapons and killing, but the nerve gas variety of that is... only unfamiliar?

Or it is innately less-appealing somehow?

You’re just that good.
The Gen AI Bridge to the Future
You learn so much by looking at how mature succesful software looks under the hood, which you will have to do as a condition for writing a good PR.

But, sure, don't send PR's for things that don't matter just to send PR's, that's just annoying.

But if you send a 3-line PR to fix a bug, that required 15 hours of study of the code to diagnose and figure out the right 3-lines, that is HUGELY educational.

Working on immature or even poorly written software can be super educational too, nothing wrong with that too.

But if you only ever look at hacky not-yet-mature not-yet-proven software, how would you ever learn to write high-quality software, or even know the difference? You have to study known good code. The way programmers study something with a natural goal instead of just artificially, is in the course of trying to alter it "correctly", the study you must do to figure that out.

(I know some programmers who have literally never worked on anything but over-engineered architecture-switched-every-month-for-years barely-holding-together technical debt bankrupt software... and I think sometimes some of them literally don't know anything else is possible! Looking at mature respected code is crucial, if you don't even know what it looks like how could you possibly try to get there?)
Market share is often measured in install base.
Intel either go the IDM route or split the company into two. Intel can't afford to fuck around and find out.

AMD is gaining ground on x86 without the burden of fab, and Apple has demonstrated that desktop ARM is viable. Nvidia is showing the world that GPUs can handle parallel computing better.
Pretty accurate != always, which is the point.
Disagree on "failed on GPU" as it depends on the goal.

Sure Intel GPUs are inferior to both Nvidia and AMD flagship offerings, but they're competitive at a price-to-performance ratio. I'd argue for a 1st gen product, it was quite successful at opening up the market and enabling for cross-selling opportunities with its CPUs.

That all said, I suspect the original intent was to fabricate the GPUs on IFS instead of TSMC in order to soak up idle capacity. But plans changed along the way (for likely performance reasons) and added to the IFS's poor perception.
Git submodules aren't really intended for that use-case in the first place. They're not really intended to model a mono-repo at all, more a relationship between repositories that have their own histories.

The main thing that has been developed in git to allow very large repos is shallow clones (both in terms of history and slices of the repo). This model works well enough within git's logic, but it's just historically not been focused on until fairly recently (and I don't really know what the state of play is there - I think there's still a limit at a certain scale where simply finding the state of play of a large checkout becomes a bottleneck, and you start to want a persistent daemon to use FS notifications to keep track of what's changed instead of stat()ing every file in the tree)

(I've often pondered if it would be possible to make a DVCS where there's no firm repo boundary at all, i.e. you could construct a checkout from any combination of trees and commits stored in different locations, and have it work seamlessly. There's probably more than a few thorny issues in there, but it would be an interesting concept)
Haven’t read all of the comments, so I don’t know if this has been pointed out yet, but it’s important to know that you’re going to make a lot of mistakes, both technically and professionally. Try to stick around long enough to feel the pain of the bad decisions you’ve made in the past, because nothing will help you learn better what is and isn’t important to focus on. Get in the habit of revisiting your past work and thinking about what you would do differently today. Pay close attention to the business and how you and your team interact with it. Don’t neglect making connections with the non-technical parts of the business.

Remember the point of industry software isn’t the software, it’s solving business problems. “Right” technically and “right” for the business are sometimes not the same thing. The only way you can learn to tell the difference is by keeping a good pulse on the rest of the company, and looking at your past decisions in the light of whether or not they enabled its success.
The rise of static-first websites: why major brands are making the switch
True CEO retirements are announced in advance and do not lead to a strange co-interim CEO situation.
A vocal minority of researchers are essentially human chauvinists --- they "want to believe" that LLMs can't "really" perform this or that part of cognition even though the evidence is blinding that they can. (Anyone who genuinely believes that LLMs can't reason at all has never used an LLM.) These researchers start with their conclusion and work backwards to an argument, making their work seductive but useless.
Your comments that nobody knows anything for sure are generically applicable to any discussion of anything.

But since they obviously apply just as well to Intel itself, it is a poor reason to dismiss other’s ideas.

> What made Nvidia dominant was not weak GPUs with a lot of RAM.

Intel doesn’t have the luxury of repeating NVidia’s path in GPUs. NVidia didn’t have to compete with an already existing NVidia-like incumbent.

That requires no speculation.

—

Competing with an incumbent via an underserved low end, then moving up market, is called disruption.

It is a very effective strategy since (1) underserved markets may be small but are are immediately profitable, and (2) subsequent upward growth is very hard for the incumbent to defend against. The incumbent would have to lower their margins, and hammer their own market value.

And it would fit with Intel’s need to grow their foundry business from the low end up too.

They should take every low-end underserved market they can find. Those are good cards to play for ambitious startups and comebacks.

And the insane demand for both GPUs and chip making is increasing the number of such markets.
