As an additional burden, we've also seen the ascension of "bullshit jobs" - rather than increased productivity bringing 15-hour work weeks, our society developed pointless, if not net-negative-value, jobs, which consume countless hours of the lives of people.

Right, but you can never guarantee giving the correct answer. What if someone unplugs the power mid-computation? That's basically where running out of memory is (for a modern desktop system anyway).

The best you do is "not the wrong answer".
Whether I'm right, or am an absolute drooling nutcase, for thinking interest-taking (on a full-recourse loan) is immoral is beside the point.

The point is that it would be idiotic of me to think somebody defending the practice was stupid or immoral, when it is accepted almost everywhere and by everyone. Same is true for Aristotle and slavery. Calling him stupid or evil on this account is misguided. Every individual and every age has its intellectual and moral blindspots. See Boogie_Man's comment above, he covers the various problems with this approach more thoroughly than I have.

If I recall correctly, Vista was hard depending on DirectX 9a for Aero. Intel GPU parts embedded in mobile CPUs were almost, but not fully DX 9a capable, but Intel convinced Microsoft to accept it as "compatible". That created lots of problems to everyone.
> Most of the talent I know is either at Apple or Facebook/Google

A relative of mine with a PhD sounds exactly like this. Worked for Intel on chip-production tech then was hired by Apple about 10 years ago, working on stuff that gets mentioned in Apple keynotes.
At what point do we call a tweak to an original design different enough to count it... K5 and K6 where clearly new designs. The others were mostly intel with some changes. I'm going to count the rest as minor tweaks and not worth counting otherwise - but this is a case where you can argue there the line is and so others need to decide where they stand (if they care)

Thanks for the link I think this is a really interesting example:

> In qSQL this is: aj[`sym`time; t; q], which means perform an asof-join on t, looking up the nearest match from table q based on the sym and time column.

> In standard SQL, again you’ll have difficulty: sql nearest date, sql closest date even just the closest lesser date isn’t elegant. One solution would be:

> WITH cte AS
(SELECT t.sym, t.time, q.bid,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY t.ID, t.time
ORDER BY ABS(DATEDIFF(dd, t.time, p.time))) AS rowNum
FROM t LEFT JOIN q ON t.sym = q.sym)
SELECT sym,time,bid FROM cte WHERE rowNum = 1

> It’s worth pointing out this is one of the queries that is typically extremely slow (minutes) on row-oriented databases compared to column-oriented databases (at most a few seconds).

This is a really nice example but I think it’s more about this as of join being a really useful operation, it appears both pandas https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.merge_as... And duckdb https://duckdb.org/docs/guides/sql_features/asof_join.html

Pandas:

> pd.merge_asof(t, q, on='time', by='sym', direction='backward')

Duckdb:

> SELECT t.sym, t.time, q.value
FROM t
ASOF JOIN q
ON t.sym = q.sym
AND t.time >= q.time;

So it seems more like this is benefitting from a useful feature of time series databases rather than the features of an APL-family language.

Personally I find the pandas syntax to be the most straightforward here.

You’re describing a pie in the sky. A vision. Not reality. We have been burned many times already, nothing in this field is a given.

We don’t know that. It will probably get better, but will it be better enough? No one knows.

> It should be happening within the next 10 years.

Every revolution in tech is always ten years away. By now that’s a meme. Saying something is ten years away is about as valuable as saying one has no idea how doable it is.

> Imagine

Yes, I understand the goal. Everyone does, it’s not complicated. We can all imagine Star Trek technology, we all know where the compass is pointed, that doesn’t make it a given.

In fact, the one thing we can say for sure about imagining how everything will be great in ten years is that we routinely fail to predict the bad parts. We don’t live in fantasy land, advancements in tech are routinely used for detrimental reasons.

You can (sort of) do this with a shell script combined with another process that seeks the (shared) file descriptor somewhere else in the file, as the shell is very line oriented. Not very well; it requires that the shell script block or sleep while the other process fiddles with the seek position.
Can confirm. I really like the one for Dice Hospital. I learned from that one that Paul Grogan is the best at doing rulebooks. I also don't mind the one for Obsession, but maybe because I just love the game that much

this is a really neat writeup! the design choice to make each "exit node" control the local wireguard connections instead of a global control plane is pretty neat.

an unfinished project I worked on (https://github.com/redpwn/rvpn) was a bit more ambitious with a global control plane and I quickly learned supporting multiple clients especially anything networking related is a tarpit. the focus on linux / aws specifically here and the results achievable from it are nice to see.

networking is challenging and this was a nice deep dive into some networking internals, thanks for sharing the details :)

I think people here are too young to remember the tech industry in 2012. None of the images and ideas conveyed in this book (printing press, cave art, fall of the Berlin wall, Arab Spring, particle accelerators) were outlandish for the time and space it was printed in. Tech was all about optimism and idealism. Everyone in silicon valley knew they were changing the world for the better, and tech was the missing piece all along. Silly people would finally all stop fighting and get along now that they had Facebook and Twitter and iPhones.
"To shreds, you say"
The A770 actually has more transistors than the RTX 3070 Ti:

RTX 3070 Ti: 17,400 million transistors

A770: 21,700 million transistors

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-3070-ti.c3...

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/arc-a770.c3914

It has taken Nvidia decades to figure out how to use transistors as efficiently as it does. It was unlikely for Intel to come close with their first discrete GPU in decades.

That said, it is possible that better drivers would increase A770 performance, although I suspect that reaching parity with the RTX 3070 Ti would be a fantasy. The RTX 3070 Ti has both more compute and more memory bandwidth. The only advantage the A770 has on its side is triple the L2 cache.

To make matters worse for Intel, I am told that games tend to use vendor specific extensions to improve shader performance and those extensions are of course not going to be available to Intel GPUs running the same game. I am under the impression that this is one of the reasons why DXVK cannot outperform the Direct3D native stack on Nvidia GPUs. The situation is basically what Intel did to AMD with its compiler and the MKL in reverse.

In specific, information in these extensions is here:

https://gpuopen.com/amd-gpu-services-ags-library/
https://developer.nvidia.com/rtx/path-tracing/nvapi/get-star...

Also, I vaguely recall that Doom Eternal used some AMD extension that was later incorporated into vulkan 1.1, but unless ID Software updated it, only AMD GPUs will be using that. I remember seeing AMD advertising the extension years ago, but I cannot find a reference when I search for it now. I believe the DXVK developers would know what it is if asked, as they are the ones that told me about it (as per my recollection).

Anyway, Intel entered the market with the cards stacked against it because of these extensions. On the bright side, it is possible for Intel to level the playing field by implementing the Vulkan extensions that its competitors use to get an edge, but that will not help it in Direct3D performance. I am not sure if it is possible for Intel to implement those as they are tied much more closely with their competitors’ drivers. That said, this is far from my area of expertise.
Our main focus is to create high-quality documentation as we improve. We are also considering how this documentation will be used by future developers and AI agents. One of our ideas is to implement an interface similar to Perplexity, but integrated with WebLLM, so users won’t have to worry about costs. You can find more information about it here; although it currently has many issues, we plan to launch a fine-tuned version of the LLM to enhance its performance. You can play with it here: https://demo.akiradocs.ai/aiSearch. Heads up its very slow and tends to break but we are improving on it constantly!

Additionally, we are exploring ways to improve the consumption of these documents and ensure they reach customers when they need them. Unfortunately, this project will be closed-source!
Remark.ing sounds incredible. I've been considering building something like Memos but based on Markdown files rather than a relational database for personal use, but this comes really close to what I was looking for.

Are you planning to open source it? I couldn't find it on your GitHub.
> However, when any of the starships behind him crosses the horizon, the captain of that starship will see Bob in front of them, also crossing the horizon!

This is a tricky point. The 51-st captain will see the ships in front of him getting slower and slower, the distance between them growing less and less. At the horizon, they'll be separated by zero distance.

But how can that be? Imagine that you're looking at a line of cars in front of you, while sitting in a bus. You can see far ahead, and you can project the distances between cars onto your windshield. Now you go out of the bus and look at the cars ahead of you again from your regular height. Now you get down on your knees, and look again. And then lie down on the road and look ahead again.

That's exactly how it would feel for that captain, any lateral distances between ships will keep getting smaller and smaller, until they completely disappear at the horizon. All the ships in front of you will be squished into a line, and the ship in front of you would block the view.
> Refuse the temptation and don't make infrastructure tools like gmake depend OS specific APIs. Doing so would make the world a worse place for everyone else.

Make is supposed to be the interface, implementations should be able to leverage all the platform capabilities they need, because make is part of that platform.

Forcing lowest common denominator also makes world worse place, as does relying on single specific implementation.
this is so amusing. I also love the 3D interface. Been seeing more of those for these quirky one-off uses. The midi switch is a nice touch.

There _was_ backlash. It just didn't operationalize very effectively. For instance, news organizations mostly saw FB and Google as a way to undermine and ultimately replace vetted news with unvetted, unprofessional hot takes. Anyone above a certain age likely saw these viewpoints and agreed with them but not enough to start a movement.

When facebook became generally available I was maybe 14-15, and even back then I remember thinking "this feels very much like it's going to ruin some young womens' lives". But what the hell was I going to do? I mean - the platform _was_ used as a sort of early Tinder, where sexual attraction could play out in a semi-anonymized way.

This comment is in no way exhaustive either.
Let's be clear. Gleam is still a bit of an esolang. If you had a company and onboarded a junior onto it would you expect them to know that 1/0 == 0?

It's unfortunate that the author chose such a clickbait name for this essay. It puts me, someone who has seen boardgame rulebooks that definitely aren't awful, in an angry defensive mood when reading this, which is bolstered by the fact that good practices that the author recommends are in fact things I've seen good rulebooks do.

That would work if the fabs were competitive. For Apple, they are technologically behind.
Perversely enough, consolidation of production into 'big agra' and mechanized might be the best play to disrupt the existing system for something more efficient and less stagnant. There are myriad paths to get to said endpoint however, not all of them equal. I don't expect said path to go well for smallholders by definition, though even though the survivors would no longer qualify as smallholders for one reason or the other.

Winners and losers I must note are the result of any system, even in ones of very high equity or even or especially a 'null system'.

With the current renderer (which is super basic because simplicity and features were the main priority over optimization for now), if a component has multiple async children, they will be resolved concurrently. I assume that's what you meant by "parallel". Not sure why that would need an example, but you can simply create a component that calls asyncio.sleep(1), then create a bunch of instances and render them to test it.

I want to have at least the same level of concurrency when the new, better optimized renderer lands.
