I would also consider consolidation as move to cut costs. If there is no more growth or it is taken by AI, that is the next step to get line go up.
The US exported Linux? Linus Torvalds is Finnish and made it in Finland though?
Maybe also a keeping Trump happy measure, given that he's been threatening Zuckerberg.
That's not too dissimilar to the folder tabs which appeared at some point in classic MacOS, though I don't remember when: quite possibly after '95.
Ahh isn't it great when a fraction of a percent at the top wield such immense power over the lives of everyone else?

Varoufakis is right, we live in a feudalism of sorts, and the fief lords have to swear fealty to their liege.
You should probably say what kind of work you do. A photographer has different needs than an journalist.
There were no IEDs
In all those historical cases the second tier card was a cut down version of the top tier one. Now the 4080 and 5080 are a different chip and there's a gulf of a performance gap between them and the top tier. That's the issue I am highlighting, the 5080 is half a 5090, in the past a 3080 was only 10% off a 3090 performance wise.
The highest PPI with the highest text clarity and the highest refresh rate I can get. 27-32"

OLED and HDR are nice, but I don't do anything at work that requires them, and burn-in is still a concern.
Do you read every single line of code of every single dependency you have ? I don't see how llms are more of a threat than a random compromised npm package or something from a OS package manager. Chances are you're already relying on tons and tons of "trust me bro" and "it's opensource bro don't worry, just read the code if you feel like it"
I think this is version 1 of what's going to become the new 'PC'.

Future versions will get more capable and smaller, portable.

Can be used to train new types models (not just LLMs).

I assume the GPU can do 3D graphics.

Several of these in a cluster could run multiple powerful models in real time (vision, llm, OCR, 3D navigation, etc).

If successful, millions of such units will be distributed around the world within 1-2 years.

A p2p network of millions of such devices would be a very powerful thing indeed.
> Yeah the era of "memory can outrun the CPU" was brief and glorious.

I don't think I fully recognized at first what was happening when wait states, page mode DRAM, and caches started appearing in mainstream computers. :-)

> Not sure about this alternate reality where Apple's 68000 machines were cheap :-) (I say this as an Atari ST owner).

Yeah... I should have cast a broader net. The Atari ST machines were much better deals IIRC. In any event, DTACK grounded PoV was that the 68000 was targeted at minicomputer scale machines, so anything that fit on a desk at all was arguably going to be inexpensive. (Years later, I did embedded work on 68K class machines intended to run in low power environments. They had to be "intrinsically safe" in potentially flammable industrial control environments. That architecture had a long path from 'minicomputer class' to where either wound up.)

The other thread this reminds me of is a bit later, Definicon was selling boards like the DSI-780. These were PC AT boards with an onboard 68020/68881 and local memory. Computationally intensive jobs could be offloaded to that board, which was supposedly like a VAX-11/780 on your desk. In some ways, it served a similar role to the DTACK attached processors, but at a slightly later point in time.

Like the DTACK grounded products, the window of time in which these products had value was oh so short, relatively speaking.
Also it opens a new field of commercialization in the social media space, in a time where troll farms seem like a legitimate business.
> In a way, yes since a local employee will get higher salary than a remote worker.

But you're asking for the local employees to have their entirely variable commute costs covered. That's very different. If I want to helicopter to work for $2k a day, should work cover it? If not, why is wanting to drive in a city with robust public transit options any different?

People leaving work early is a fixable discipline issue.
> However, what I've noticed about myself as I've become more wealthy is that I'm less corruptible.

I think the difference is, what was your goal? If your goal was something other than getting rich, then it can go the way it did for you. But if your goal was to get rich, if you went into politics because you thought that you could make a lot of money around the edges there, then the more you rise in power, the more opportunities there will be for corruption.

Character matters. It matters for everyone, and it matters in particular for politicians.

X is far less censored than any other social media platform of comparable size.
There’s no test to be done there. Just respect web standards and do geoblock if you want to.

The issues I have are website pretending to be apps and apps that are SPAs for no reasons.
It should not be possible to blindly push clearly idiotic and false information through a system without saveguards.

I can have a conversation with my friends without fact checking every single word they say.

And no we as humans had and still have a system of trust and respect. Respect has to be earned but when you got it, people trust you more. We did this because its more energy efficient to be able to trust others and not getting scamed left and right.

Your argument "Because when censors and fact checkers are wrong crooks become freedom fighters and truth seekers." is a 1000x times less important than not sharing all the garbage first and we never had a system like social media before.

Did you forget that Elon Musk just bought himself his position?
I agree but I blame it on the structure. People are at different stages of understanding something and on the social media everyone at every stage debates at the same time. In real life, we we progress through a path and when someone who is just starting comes up with the same questions we debated some time ago we don't simply go back and do it again. That newbie is handled by appropriate group until they catch up.
There is a recommended dose of sugar a day, there is no safe dose of alcohol. Same as cigarettes
The alternative is an ethanol drink; there is basically zero economic incentive for a restaurant to lower it more than $1 or so below the price of a cocktail. Sure there's no sin tax but that is essentially pass through to the consumer, and the price competes against already sin taxed items.

Beverages at restaurants are always high margin and how they make much of their profits, they offer mocktails so they can capture the highest tier price preference for non alcohol consuming customers.
He said he's going to work with Trump to fight against foreign countries censoring American social media companies?

EU citizen here, what in heck is happening right now?
If you think humanity is a good thing, and you want it to continue indefinitely into the future, then reproduction is essential. If you do not think this, then you want Earth to be a dull rock, with no civilization and no intelligent species. It really is just that binary.

>Without that pressure, would people choose to have fewer children on a scale we've never seen before?

They already made that choice, decades ago, and there's no evidence anyone is rethinking it. Fertility levels are sub-replacement.

This is something every company should make sure they have: an onboarding path.

Xeon Phi failed for a number of reasons, but one where it didn't need to fail was availability of software optimised for it. Now we have Xeons and EPYCs, and MI300C's with lots of efficient cores, but we could have been writing software tailored for those for 10 years now. Extracting performance from them would be a solved problem at this point. The same applies for Itanium - the very first thing Intel should have made sure it had was good Linux support. They could have it before the first silicon was released. Itaium was well supported for a while, but it's long dead by now.

Similarly, Sun has failed with SPARC, which also didn't have an easy onboarding path after they gave up on workstations. They did some things right: OpenSolaris ensured the OS remained relevant (still is, even if a bit niche), and looking the other way for x86 Solaris helps people to learn and train on it. Oracle cloud could, at least, offer it on cloud instances. Would be nice.

Now we see IBM doing the same - there is no reasonable entry level POWER machine that can compete in performance with a workstation-class x86. There is a small half-rack machine that can be mounted on a deskside case, and that's it. I don't know of any company that's planning to deploy new systems on AIX (much less IBMi, which is also POWER), or even for Linux on POWER, because it's just too easy to build it on other, competing platforms. You can get AIX, IBMi and even IBMz cloud instances from IBM cloud, but it's not easy (and I never found a "from-zero-to-ssh-or-5250-or-3270" tutorial for them). I wonder if it's even possible. You can get Linux on Z instances, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get Linux on POWER. At least not from them (several HPC research labs still offer those).
Turns out you can train the algorithm to go back to "just posts from friends" by clicking the little X top right corner of the posts you don't want.

I had almost given up on the feed, it was turning into a bunch of posts from groups that I wasn't really interested in. I did a little searching, found this suggestion, and after a bit of clicking it seems to work. Now it's just friend posts (and ads, but I assume that's the inevitable price).
They are also good, but outside a more or less homogeneous bubble with no incentive for monetization it quickly becomes a cesspool dictated by "the algorithm".
I think increase in vaping might be more likely. Smoking controls start to be big in many countries. And there is lot less for vaping. So it has lot less sacrifices for similar effect.
Worryingly sounds like "Let the fake news and propaganda proliferate for profit."
AI uses throat vibrations to work out what someone is trying to say
> It can't know exactly where the connection died, which means that the client must inform the last time it received an update, and the server must then crawl back a log to find the pending messages and redispatch them.

I don't see how this is meaningfully different for long polling. The client could have received some updates but never ack'd it successfully over a long poll, so either way you need to keep a log and resync on reconnection.
The overall theme of Her was human relationships. It was not about AI and not just about divorce in particular.The AI was just a plot device to include a bodyless person into the equation. Watch it again with this in mind and you will see what I mean.
> A p2p network of millions of such devices would be a very powerful thing indeed.

If you think RAM speeds are slow for the transformer or inference, imagine what 100Mbs would be like.
The MBTA already runs top speed on most of its lines once you get outside of roughly I95 depending on the line. Getting there faster would help but I don't think it would shave as much time off the end to end trip as you think. And for the urban stops they already accelerate and brake at the limit of what is reasonable for standing passengers. They can't push it too much or an old lady is gonna bounce off a wall and get a nose bleed and that's a bad look. It's not like Acela where a ticket guarantees a seat.

There will definitely be some improvement from electrification but I don't think it will affect median travel times much and the affect on average will mostly be from reliability.
For the next 13 days. It is a lame duck government.
Yes, this just reads like "oh, thank God for that, that department was an expensive hassle to run".

I don't know if I'd call it a certain win for Meta long term, but it might well be if they play it right. Presumably they're banking on things being fairly siloed anyway, so political tirades in one bubble won't push users in another bubble off the platform. If they have good ways for people to ignore others, maybe they can have the cake and eat it, unlike Twitter.

Like Twitter, the network effect will retain people,
and unlike Twitter, Facebook is a much deeper, more integrated service such that people can't just jump across to a work-alike.

A CEO who can keep his mouth shut is also a pretty big plus for them. They skated away from bring involved with a genocide without too many issues, so same ethical revulsion people have against Musk seems to be much less focused.
Infringe copyright to read about false infringement.
Yes and it can be quite absurd and right on the nose.

While Putin feeds humans to the dogs of war, he will at the same time chide his countryfolk that they are not having enough children.

There is a softer version in the west where elders and the wealthy are 'concerned about birthrates' while at the same time squeezing their young on living costs(shelter+food).
There is nothing wrong with sugar, people can't burn it, because the body needs lead to break it into pyruvate. Then you need arsenic to input that into the krebs cycle. The mitochondria need a wide assortment of metals (likely at least copper, arsenic, selenium, mercury, cadmium and possibly chromium) when you don't get those, your mitochondia begin to fail, and the tissues where they do turn into "fat tissue".

I suspect they don't do the research for real, they do some kind of simulation, and write it was in mice. They do know the metal changes the protein, but they incorrectly claim that the version without it works, but in reality the one with it does. They could'n make such an error if they actually did the research for real.
If the social group in question regards 13:00 as meaning between 13:00 and 13:10 then arriving at 13:05 is arriving on time and no one is bothered or inconvenienced.

Being late is not simply a property of the clock time but also of the society you are part of.

In England arriving early for a dinner party is going to get you at least a dirty look, arriving half an hour late just means that you might miss a pre-dinner drink. In Norway, if you are ten minutes late the host might send out a search party.
If what you meant was

> Think about it: every type of already solved problem you want information about is in them, in fact it is there multiple times, with multiple levels of seriousness in the treatment of the idea.

then that was not clear from your comment saying LLMs contain any information you want.

One has to be careful communicating about LLms because the world is full of people that actually believe LLMs are generally intelligent super beings.
Cozying up to Trump and gang and making it easier to add AI features that hallucinate nonsense.
This isn't about saving money on tooling or reviewers. This is about the incoming Trump administration and not wanting to have him decide to point his administration at Facebook because he is pissed at them.
They all kiss the ring of Trump now. With success: Trump already betrayed his MAGA and sides with Musk over H1B visas:

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/12/30/politics/trump-musk-h1b-v...

Further expected betrayals:

- Trump will not release the JFK files, which he unambiguously promised during the election campaign while standing next to RFK junior.

- Trump will not finish the wall, because Republican farmers need their slave labor.

There is still some hope that in foreign policy Trump will deliver. It is bad for Europe though, since Trump will perpetuate the LNG grift and the destruction of Europe's economy.
Oh definitely - I'm not an absolutist. I just want to have the least amount of contact with those aspects of the Javascript ecosystem that take me further away from HTML over HTTP and progressive enhancement.

> All this complexity I learned must have been for a reason!

It doesn't have to be so emotional.

Htmx can be helpful to keep all your state in one place, it's simpler to reason about and make changes. Lower cognitive load for the system is better for smaller teams and particularly lone developers.

You can accomplish the same thing by going full front end and minimize backend code with a similar small library that takes care of most to all of it for you.

Living in the front end, with all app state in the front end, has distinct advantages. Lower latency for interaction. Lower server costs. Offline capable. It has some cons like slower initial render. If you don't like JavaScript, JavaScript.
General Processing Unit?
There are plenty of businesses that think the same way and every time I see an ad with an image that's clearly AI-generated I steer clear of it. It looks cheap, hits the uncanny valley and is often a good sign of lowest effort possible.

Is the cost delta really 12×?

Looking at Mouser Canada, it looks like the cheapest 071 is the TL071CDR, at $0.138/each (Canadian) in quantities of 5k. The OPA2323IDDFR is $0.49 in the same quantity.

> In the end, a 12x cost bump is a lot to swallow for a feature that most consumers are physically incapable of distinguishing between.

I think that the performance of an op-amp should very rarely have user-visible effects. The more interesting question is whether the more expensive chip can make for a simpler design elsewhere. For example, can a rail-to-rail amplifier save the extra cost of needing charge pumps and split-rail design elsewhere?

Also, not all domains should be cost-optimized. Hobbyist or prototyping work might best benefit from using a more expensive but more capable amplifier as a first choice, saving on the number of components that might need to be stocked in the home lab.
he is using llm for coding. you don't become staff engineer by being a badass coder. Not sure how they are related.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's any reasonable political discourse that is ever* censored by social media companies.

During COVID, there were people spreading lies about the vaccine, which many people believed, and many people died as a result of believing those lies. Even Louis Brandeis, one of the fiercest advocates of free speech, made an exception for emergency situations[0], which is arguably what a pandemic is.

But again, lies about a vaccine do not constitute reasonable public discourse, it is more akin to screaming fire in a crowded theater. If you have counter examples of regular public discourse that has been censored by a social media company, please share it.

* I realize "ever" is a stretch, I'm sure there are instances, but my understanding is that they are the exception rather than the rule.

[0] "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence. Only an emergency can justify repression. Such must be the rule if authority is to be reconciled with freedom." - Louis Brandeis, Whitney vs. California

Skeptical
if youve never gone deep into zig comptime... really nothing is surprising, except possibly when you can't do things and usually after a bit of thinking about it you understand why you can't.
On the contrary «fact checkers» have rarely had any other function than persisting propaganda for the status quo, which quite often have turned out not to be true.

I say good riddance.
I'm not sure what you mean by that? Jensen seemed quite normal in his presentation. Some of the prerecorded video was a bit iffy - "this is how intelligence is made" totally ignoring natural intelligence. Coked up behaviour is more like Will Smith punching Chris Rock.

I thought the synthetic data generation for self driving was interesting https://youtu.be/k82RwXqZHY8?t=4369 I could have used something like that myself for learning flying.
Rust really needs comptime, I love cargo and the ecosystem but trait level programming is weird, macros are weird, why can’t you just be normal? (rust screams)
>EU citizen here, what in hell is happening right now?

The EU chose themselves to be US vassals, to be technologically outdated and to move from GDP parity in 2008 to being half the US economy 15 years later. Every problem that we face can be traced to the technocrat idiots in Brussels.
Or rather, the anonymous hive-mind is now deciding if something is factually correct. Completely unaccountable, perfect for social media.
> It's weird that you would argue "people won't change" at the same time as you point out how word meanings change.

"People won't change" does not imply "people don't change"; "I observe change" does not imply "I cause change."

Dante's Paradiso XVII.37–42 (Hollander translation): "Contingent things [...] are all depicted in the Eternal Sight, / yet are by that no more enjoined / than is a ship, moved downstream on a river's flow, / by the eyes that mirror it."

> Also, specific people might not change, but they do retire/die, and new generations might have different opinions.

Yes, that's certainly the case. "Science advances one funeral at a time."

I'm a pretty big fan of Zig--I've been following it and writing it on-and-off for a couple of years. I think that comptime has a couple of use-cases where it is very cool. Generics, initializing complex data-structures at compile-time, and target-specific code-generation are the big three where comptime shines.

However, in other situations seeing "comptime" in Zig code has makes me go "oh no" because, like Lisp macros, it's very easy to use comptime to avoid a problem that doesn't exist or wouldn't exist if you structured other parts of your code better. For example, the OP's example of iterating the fields of a struct to sum the values is unfortunately characteristic of how people use comptime in the wild--when they would often be better served by using a data-structure that is actually iterable (e.g. std.enums.EnumArray).
