Intel isn't fixed.

Intel had to outsource much of their CPUs/GPUs to fix their battery issues.

Meteor Lake (Core Ultra series 1) outsourced all to TSMC but the CPU and Foveros base tile. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteor_lake#Process_technology

Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) is more TSMC than Intel, providing only the Foveros base tile, while TSMC provides the CPU tile this time as well. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Lake#Process_node

Same with Arrow Lake (Core Ultra series 2). see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_Lake_(microprocessor)#Ar...

It's like Intel provides just the car exterior and frame while TSMC provides the engine, entertainment system, tires, et al.

Also TSMC makes Intel's recent GPU chips.

Everyone is looking at the next Intel CPU, codenamed Panther Lake, which is supposed to return to the Intel fold and be Intel-only-fabricated chip sometime in 2025.

Business-wise, Intel's revenue has dropped from an all-time high of $79B during the pandemic to $54B (close to annual revenue from 10 years ago). see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel#Business_trends

In the Lunar Lake wikipedia article, a Goldman Sachs analysis states that Intel is spending about 10% of revenue ($5.6B) for TSMC foundry services in 2024, expected to almost double in 2025.

Apple uses TSMC's 2nd gen 3nm process node.
Intel uses TSMC's 1st gen 3nm process node for its compute tile.
AMD uses TSMC's 1st gen 3nm process node for the Zen 5c core, 4nm for the other parts of the chip.
Qualcomm uses TSMC's 4nm process node for Snapdragon X Elite.

Qualcomm has the most to improve when it goes to smaller process node, while AMD is halfway there with its mobile CPUs. Intel is already at the smallest process node available, until TSMC (or more likely Apple stops buying) gets more capacity at smaller/more efficient process nodes.

During the early to mid-2010s, Intel has shown that they'll take their sweet time providing CPU improvements to customers (app developers and computer users) if they have no competition (and they hide from the public how poorly their new fabs are doing).

Natural language is indeed ambiguous. Words tend to vary in meaning from time to time. So legal documents gave to precisely define a lot of terms, and Latin is also used (because meanings there dont change.)

Take the phrase "Open Source" as an example. Us old folk ascribe specific meaning to that term - typically based on the legalese in Open Source licenses.

However the next generation have imbued it with their own (various) definitions. This leads to endless back and forth. For example I recently pointed out that SQLite is Public Donain, not Open Source. (With predictable pushback.) Today, in other thread someone claimed "its not really open Source unless its in git, and on github".

And the distinction between Free Software and Open Source is seldom understood.

So yeah, legal documents are gard to parse because they can't take "common meaning" for granted.
How do you know if a friend installed This is Your Digital Life?
Aside from the few proposals that I know of to literally use programming languages in laws, I have wondered if actually lowering the language expressiveness would help (e.g. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_English_Wikipedia )

The thinking being that the less nuanced the vocabulary, the less ways it could be interpreted and thus one may not have to write so many laywerly guard phrases to artificially constrain "normal" vocabulary. It may very well run the risk of having to use a bazillion more cross-references as one builds up a "library" of word-subroutines, but still could be a net win

But I guess I can navel-gaze all I like because for this specific domain, any change might as well be all the changes since there's no prayer

I find nothing particularly incomprehensible about laws in general. In an experiment where you ask a bunch of amateurs to write legal documents I'm not sure you can apply any real interpretation to those results.

They use the example of DUI laws. Here's two. There's nothing particularly complicated about them, and the "center embedding," to the extent it is present, is entirely comprehensible.

This is how you know the (old) media mongrels have bought out the australian gov't.

I am vehemently against it, but no matter which party you choose to vote for, the result has been the same.
I don't think so. Based on the article, the definition of legalese is a high prevalence of center-embedding. Center embedding is one of the most ambiguous ways to write sentences, so it does not make sense as a style of writing presisly.
The study seemed not very convincing to me, at least the way it was described in the article. To summarize: they asked crowdworkers to write a law who used legalese, but not when writing news stories about it or when explaining the law. From that the researchers concluded that people use legalese to convey authority.

But what if people just imitated the writing style of existing laws, but not with the intention to make it authoritative but because that is what they understood their task to be?

A summary of what it is since the above link is talking a while about commentary on criticisms of the skyscraper curse before actually discussing it;

Record breaking skyscrapers rarely make sense because they are expensive to build and hard to fill, so their groundbreaking is associated with the late period of a time of easy credit and low rates.
This is a tangent, but the Bank of Canada is where dormant bank accounts go.

I've known this for years, and I suspect like many who find out -- you look for some. Especially ones you had as a kid, that you haven't thought of for years.

Point is, after that you start to look for relatives. Just in case they didn't realise. And while I did not find a person I thought was a relative, they did have the same last name.

So I Googled a bit, found their relative, and called.

The guy started yelling at me first thing. Telling me to go to blazes, and so forth. I just said "YOU contact them, I don't want any part of it! I just hate the idea of $1M sitting in a dormant account!"

Nope. From the sound of the screaming and blathering on the other end of the line, this guy had been beset by endless scammers calling. Repeatedly. All the time. Trying to "do all the work" for 10%, this sort of thing.

Still his response was incredibly over the top. Didn't start off with "I am NOT interested", but instead with screaming. How many calls per month, per week?

Per day?!

Good reference! Turns out this internet draft has been turned into an official, informational RFC:

The level of dismissal of LLM esp from senior developers is alarming. It seem like they don’t use it much or have just tried some hobby stuff on the side. What I think will happen is the engineers that learn to use it best will have huge advantage
"AI didn’t replace me, AI accelerated me or improved me with feedback about my work"

This really sums up how I feel about AI at the moment. It's like having a partner who has broad knowledge about anything that you can ask any stupid questions to. If you don't want to do a small boring task you can hand it off to them. It lets you focus on the important stuff, not "whats the option in this library called to do this thing that I can describe but don't know the exact name for?".

If you aren't taking advantage of that, then yes, you are probably going to be replaced. It's like when version control became popular in the 00s, where some people and companies still held out in their old way of doing things, copying and pasting folders or whatever other nasty workflows the had, because $reasons... where the only real reason was that they didn't want to adapt to the new paradigm.
The testing practice I've seen is to have a testdata/ directory with a bunch of textprotos for different test cases. If you're using Bazel, just include the entire directory glob as data dependency for the unit tests. The test tables are essentially just appropriately named textproto filenames that are unmarshaled into the proto message to be tested.

Then again I've also seen people do these thousand line in-code literal string protos which really grind my gears.
The US government has the Plain Language movement which is rewriting policy and legal documents in clear, plain language.

SpaceX is interesting in that the 'market' is 'Elon wants to go to Mars.'

The side effect of that market is that in order to go to Mars and colonize it, you need transformatively massive, instant, and cheap access to space for near infinite tonnage. Which goes against the previous mantra of the industry- expensive, custom, and irregular.

The new 'form' is impossible for the old 'form' to match, hence a monopoly. But since the new form is so cheap and capable, everybody wins, except the old vendors (and the politicians they fund.)

So the right societal question is: Ignoring the financial traders, what's the ratio between the socially positive and socially negative uses of the underlying?

> This is a truly hard problem.

CSAM is NOT a hard problem. You solve it with police work. That's how it always gets solved.

You don't solve CSAM with scanners. You don't solve CSAM with legislation. You don't solve CSAM by banning encryption.

You solve CSAM by giving money to law enforcement to go after CSAM.

But, see, the entities pushing these laws don't actually care about CSAM.

Also there's no ceiling to the debt that can accrue from integrating a certain software with a product, and when that debt stalls for a while then it'll just become accepted as part of the process. Whereas a blender has a debt ceiling of 1 blender, and the labor time of maintenance boils down to placing an order for a new one occasionally.
Yes, it is a question of visibility. You have two cars coming from opposite directions, both want to turn right (Japan drives on the left), and both think they can do it safely, but all of sudden another car pops from behind.

> "its not really open Source unless its in git, and on github".

Heh, mine is even more strict: to me, it's not really open source unless I can build it since if I cannot compile the project, I cannot change it for my needs and/or send those tested changes back upstream

I have a second 2nd level "requirement" about packaging it in a sane distribution format, because I don't think any reasonable person wants to have a .desktop file that is $(cd /home/src/foo; npx run whatever "$@"). I'm looking at you, Chromium, since I can get it to build just fine but count the number of hand-rolled /usr/bin/install calls https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/741f8edf84c7b... because evidently the $(make DESTDIR= install) is just kidding
My experience is it's been unbelievably fun until I actually try to run what it writes and/or add some non-trivial functionality. At that point it becomes unbelievably un-fun and frustrating as the LLM insists on producing code that doesn't give the outputs it says it does.

I think it's less dismissing criticisms and more "just because it's new doesn't mean it's bad."

Other examples: cars vs horses, household appliances will make people lazy vs household robots will make peopl lazy, or SNL has really gone downhill (people have been saying that for decades, and it is indeed subjective but the generation who says it now thought it was peak in their youth, when the old people of their time were saying it sucked).

There may be some merit of truth and some valid criticisms in all of it. As other commenters have pointed out, books were a one-sided conversation, so Socrates was right in that sense, but sometimes it's necessary to have this one-sided conversation in order to have a fruitful multi-party conversation. And I think it's important for that to be understood -- some things are good for some things in some roles.

It's becoming very difficult to function in modern society without a smartphone. Smartphones have given us luxuries we couldn't even fathom in the 90s. Today I sent a spontaneous birthday gift to a friend in another state using Doordash. Twenty years ago that may not have even been possible.

I think it's important to understand the role of smartphones in our society and lives. It shouldn't replace real-life social interaction. It shouldn't be where we spend half our days looking at. We shouldn't believe the news that comes from our social feeds at face value (that transcends smartphones but you get my drift). But using it as a tool to get stuff done, that's invaluable.

Additionally calling C++ from other languages is a pain and you're forced to make a bridge C API. Doing so from Go is even less than ideal from what I gather. It requires using cgo and forces Go to interface with C call stacks, slows down the compilation, etc.

> Lovelace's program was a note in some documents that she was preparing under Babbage's directions as a scribe of sorts

It was not the case. She was translating someone else’s article, and it does not seem she did it under direction or supervision.

> so many people assume it was her work and not Babbage's.

What she did was quite common. She had ideas about the thing she was translating and thus added them as notes. All fairly straightforward.

> the obsession with attributing the first ever computer program to her seems entirely ideologically motivated.

To me the obsession that some people (not you, but some definitely do and use the same arguments) have with bringing her down is entirely ideologically motivated. She was recognised for a long time, and while there are discussions about exactly who was first and such (as there always are when discussing History), her role was mostly uncontroversial. Also bear in mind that calculator and then programmer were women’s jobs until some point in the 2nd half of the 20th century. Having a woman write code was not controversial before the establishment of the bro culture.
