In my mind, platform teams wouldn't necessarily be toxic in a small-ish companies, it's just very unlikely they'd qualify to be a platform team. In the absence of cross-cutting logic to take care of, it sounds like they'd effectively be a product team focusing on the infra things?
Nice trick! I check on the frontend for all gmal, gmial, etc variations :)
The pattern is becoming clear - building foundation models requires massive compute resources and engineering talent, making it increasingly difficult for independent AI companies to compete with tech giants. Even with Kai-Fu Lee's leadership and connections, it seems the economics favor consolidation.

This goes against every definition of cloud that I know off. Again proving that 'cloud' means whatever you want it to mean.
Works in FF for me. It's rather resource hungry, maybe an OOM? Judging from RAM consumption I'm guessing it doesn't utilise GPU, but maybe it does and didn't fit in mine.
Hears very very similar to my experience, but still not in the 60's :)

There was a commercial on TV, it was in a barber shop. One guy talking to the barber: "When I was 20 I thought I knew everything, then I got married. At age 30 I thought I knew it, but then I got a baby. With 40 I started to think I was almost there, but then my father died. At 50 again, I thought I was finally understanding life, but then the kids left home. Now I'm almost 60, and finally, this time, I think I know something about life." At that moment an old man on the back stands up and interjects "I'm 85, can you explain it to me, because I still have no idea!"
Both have their merits, but I've found team environments generally better for growth - you learn from others' expertise and code reviews. Solo work offers more autonomy, but you miss out on knowledge sharing and can develop blind spots in your technical practices. The ideal might be alternating between both throughout your career.
It could be an aditional feature in the future. Thanks for the feedback.

I think V [1] is what Go should’ve been. Simple, compiles fast, integrated language tooling, in fact quite similar to Go, but without all the dumb design decisions. Unlike Go, it has sum types, enums, immutable-by-default variables, option/result types, various other goodies and the syntax for for loops actually makes sense. It’s a shame that the compiler is quite buggy, but hopefully that’s going to improve.

Moving employee jurisdiction to suit the incoming administration is hardly the same as a warm greeting though, is it?

In my country we have a different word for people giving large sums of money as gifts to incoming politicians, yet we seldom impose that definition on others. US politics is different and affects the climate here too, even though that population is around 20% or less of all Facebook users.
interesting launch but vague in its own way like the one from AMD (less so but in a different way).

it is easy to be carried away with vram size, but keeping in mind that most people with apple silicon (who can enjoy several times more memory) are stuck at inference, while training performance is off the charts through cuda hardware.

the jury is yet to be out on actual ai training performance, but i bet 4090, if sold at 1k or below, would be better value than lower tier 50 series. the "ai tops" of the 50 series is only impressive for the top model, while the rest are either similar or with lower memory bandwidth despite the newer architecture.

i think by now the training is best left on the cloud and overall i'd be happy rather owning a 5070 ti at this rate.

The 5090 TOPS number is with sparsity at 4bits, so it doubles the value compared to the 8bit sparse number for 4090.

The real jump is 26%, at 28% higher power draw and 25% higher price.

Another thing related to this that I found kind of interesting, is this post [0] (unfortunately on twitter) of the developer of Caves of Qud, where they fully ported their game from Unity to Godot as an experiment, showing that they seem to have built the game around a single node, essentially just using Unity (and then Godot) as the presentational layer, similar to a simple graphics library type thing, basically ignoring the whole node system of either engine.

I wonder if this kind of architecture might also be a pretty good approach. The fact that they were able to port the game to another engine within a day is pretty impressive.

There's a type safety mantra that goes "make illegal states unrepresentable" (which came from Yaron Minsky at Jane Street, I believe.) In other words, if you try to represent an illegal program state, the type checker should flag it.

If you design a program's types with this in mind - which requires a fairly powerful type system to do well - that goes a long way to achieving the other commenter's claim.

Related to this is the idea of "static debugging". Following the above approach, the type checker will alert you to many semantic bugs while you're writing the program, without needing to actually run it.

Working through this process tends to help you discover bugs that the type checker alone can't detect. The type system and checker helps you reason about the program's behavior.

The end result of this is that it does indeed tend to seem that "if it compiles, it almost always works."

That's not to say you never experience dynamic logic errors, and it can depend on the kind of program you're writing.

Another way to think about it is that good type systems are the ultimate "shift left" in the software development cycle. They allow you to detect problems about as early as you possibly can. Leveraging that can make a big difference to the SDLC.

Dude, just learn to play piano and read sheet music for classical music.

I got through the first 5 grades of piano in a single term. Literally the easiest thing I’ve ever learned.

And once you know how to read sheet music and play something like the piano, composing music (any genre) is piss easy, especially if you’re using computer software to do so.

If you’re serious about composing music, no matter what genre I really recommend learning the piano, you’ll just learn so quickly the “rules” of music, especially if you do the theory along side your playing.

Self-hosted things, in my experience, tend to be more reliable. More expensive, too. Worth it. Considerably less churn if done well. That said... reliability/administration is what I do for work. I'm biased.

For instance, skip traversing the internet for in-office deployments/credential use. Also: incentives. PMs or engineers at another company have incentives that don't always align with reliability for yours.

A big problem I come across is also half-assing the improvements.

Taks as an example - for some reason you need to update an internal auth middleware library, or a queue library - say there is a bug, or a flaw in design that means it doesn't behave as expected in some circumstances. All of your services use it.

So someone comes along, patches it, makes the upgrade process difficult / non-trivial, patches the one service they're working on, and then leaves every other caller alone. Maybe they make people aware, maybe they write a ticket saying "update other services", but they don't push to roll out the fixed version in the things they have a responsibility for.

Been programming since I was 14, pursued a career in another field so that I could program for fun. I have considered pivoting my career to software development many times. Seeing people far more qualified than me have nightmarish job hunting experiences always makes me think twice. When people with 10+ years of experience can't find a job, there's no reason to believe self-taught programmers without degrees ever will.

Starting a business seems like the only real answer. Struggling only makes sense when it's for your own company.

That chip has a 200ns instruction cycle though. Whatever program you're running is so small that you can just do things linearly: i.e. once the input goes high you just keep checking if it's high in your main loop by counting clock rollovers. You don't need interrupts, because you know exactly the minimum and maximum number of instructions you'll run before you get back to your conditional.

EDIT: in fact with a 16 bit timer, a clock rollover happens exactly every 13 milliseconds, which is a pretty good denounce interval.
And hopefully not break all the other fibres while doing it.

Of course that’s why we get so concerned about pinch points with dual fibres
I can understand DC wander being a problem on copper ethernet, where the signal goes through an isolation transformer - which is there specifically to block DC; you don't want to accidentally make a ground loop between buildings after all.

But presumably an optical SFP doesn't need to block DC, because you can't make a ground loop over optical fibre?

I worked in Nokia Research and Nokia Maps around the time that Apple started kicking their ass. Platforms became a dirty word in that company. Equating that to devops is a mistake. Any kind of platform is a problem.

What's a platform: anything that only serves internal customers that is treated like a product but just isn't.

Nokia had lots of platforms. Several Linux based operating systems (meego/maemo, meltemi, and briefly Android even), several flavors of Symbian (S60, S80, S90), and several flavors of non symbian legacy proprietary platforms (S30 and S40). And that's just operating systems. And that was before MS got involved and added two flavors of Windows Phone with completely different kernels. Nokia also had UI platforms (multiple). And it dabbled with online/cloud platforms as well (OVI, if you remember that).

And indeed devops and operations platforms. I witnessed what the introduction of AWS did to those. It was hilarious. First Nokia IT was outraged that people dared to use something from Amazon, then shocked it was actually cheaper and better, and then the layoffs started and that team was one of the first things that got impacted for the obvious reason that the AWS deployment was a raging success and they tried blocking that for several years at great cost to the business. Once they were off the critical path to deploying stuff, that whole unit became redundant. They had forgotten about end users and they were pissing off their internal customers to the point that those started engineering around them.

That's the problem with internal platforms: they compete with external ones and if they aren't good enough, they become a problem. You get people digging in, add internal politics to the mix, and now you have epic amounts of money being wasted.

I think Google and Facebook are good examples of becoming serial offenders on being too absorbed by their own internal platform teams. I recognize a lot of Nokia in modern day Google. Lots of headless chickens in their leadership, endless waffle about internal platforms that then flop (fuchsia being a prime example), endless reinvention of wheels (UI frameworks, compilers, operating systems, chat protocols, social networking, IOT, LLM/AI, etc.) and a long list of stuff that they discontinue because it just didn't work, and way too many variants of just about anything they do.

All this discussion (hate) on the effort to "rewrite in Rust"...

At the same time these projects are soooo promissing (to me -- it may be purely subjective).

By these projects I mean:

RipGrep

Deno

Zig

tree-sitter

And lots of web dev libs and frameworks: Actix, Leptos, Dioxus...

Currently a web dev stack can run on Redox OS and use significantly less resources than Alpine! (and this stack has not even had the years of tuning Alpine had)

> engineering them is also involvement.

Have you ever played video games with cheats enabled? Some of them are still fun, others feel pointless. If you want to treat your offspring as a machine to be engineered rather than raised, why bother with flesh in the first place, why not regard the AI itself as the offspring?

If a child were engineered as thoroughly as you suggest, the distance between them and their parents would necessarily be as severe as the distance between them and their potential human teachers.

But also there is a practical issue:

Musk specifically may well test such things on his own kids before the tech is actually ready, but any sensible person would want these interventions to have passed a full clinical trial before reaching their offspring. Such trials would necessarily lead to there being many humans with any one of those enhancements before all of them, making any gap much smaller in practice than you anticipate.
