this is an incredibly misleading statistic skewed by the fact that almost all retiring corporate workers are white so lots of white jobs were “lost”
I think it indirectly is (in the form of TSMC) as Intel have started to use TSMC fabs for some of their processor lines and I think this is eating into AMD (and other TSMC customers) production.

They had the same problem with apple and the 4nm fabs, but couldn't exactly say anything as smearish.
> It may also clarify why more powerful languages such as Scala, Common Lisp, Smalltalk, Haskell, etc, consistently fail to pick up steam.

Languages need a window of opportunity, and many of those squandered it.

Clojure won over Scala because at the time when people were loooking for an alternative JVM langauge, Clojure was more of a departure from Java and seemed to have better tooling (compile times and syntax support) than Scala.

Smalltalk and Common Lisp wasted their moment by not being cheap/free to people using micros in the 1980s.

Lisp, especially, very much wasted its moment with micros. The fact that no Lisper had the vision to dump a Lisp onto the bank switched micros (which makes GC really easy and useful) of the mid to late 1980s is a self-inflicted bullet wound. Lots of us hated doing assembly language programming but had no real alternative. This was a loss born of pure arrogance of Lispers who looked down on those micros as not being "real machines".

I weep for all the hours I wasted doing assembly language as a teenager that I could have been writing Lisp. How much software could have been written that would have been <100 lines of Lisp if only someone had written that tool?
That's not what you said at WCUS. You only mentioned the trademark issue as an aside. Your primary beef was with their contribution level and the fact they were funded by private equity. That's a fact. Plain as day.

Stop trying to rewrite history. There is documented evidence of what actually happened.
Brett Devereaux talks about this in relation to the Mongols and other nomads. Yes they didn’t “own” land but if you trespassed on their grazing pastures they would absolutely use violence against you: https://acoup.blog/2020/12/04/collections-that-dothraki-hord...

The notion of a lack of land ownership is just fetishization.

I think if you open the Network Inspector more often, you'll find that you weren't actually exaggerating at all.

Resource utilization has basically zero headspace for many developers now, and even less among non-technical stakeholders (who fundamentally rely on engineers to bring it to their attention).

Things are really bad these days.
The stereotype in my mind is that countries in Asia prioritize STEM a lot, so this makes sense to me. And they don't call it STEM, it's just school.
There are huge numbers of white, Indian, and Asian men working in tech. Why do you think white men are considered stale?
Thank you for reviewing! I was curious as well so you've saved me
> First, if at all possible, teach only one person at a time. Teaching multiple people a new game all at once is incredibly difficult for everyone.

Interesting observation! I haven't had this experience at all. I've taught lots of board games to people, usually to multiple at once. The thing I find tricky is when you have some people who have played before and they keep interjecting with details that either aren't relevant yet, or I was planning to mention at a better time in the explanation.

A group of all newbs is much easier.
Who gets to determine the minimum threshold? And how will they enforce it?

Fibre will always be better for densely populated areas. But for less dense satellite is making a lot of sense.

However, for nation states there is a lot of value in having redundancy and sovereignty over your telecommunications infrastructure. Having a foreign country's company being sole provider could put you in a tough position (for the good/bad of your population).
Apologies, I got 2000km confused with another megaconstellation, later rollouts / V2s+ are suppose to be up to 1200km, which was initially filed / granted with FCC. They did request/allow to move some of of larger v2s to lower orbits, but the full megaconstellation plan won't be constrained to <350km simply because there aren't enough orbit slots (as managed by UN/ITU) for the constellation size star link envisions. Below is recent image of current starlink distribution. Most are 400-500km and above, i.e. much longer decay times. My understanding is they're throwing v2 "minis" which still weight 3x more to lowerish orbits because that's most economical for F9 delivery, but once they have more payload via starship, full size v2+ is going 500km-1200km. 500km more altitude as like ~4 milliseconds of latency, which is not nothing, but still minor vs economic benefits of more coverage with less hardware. IMO current low LEO focus isn't ... starlink being responsible, it's result of cost optimization of coverage:payload for F9. Starship will come with different set of cost optimizations, likely for higher orbits using larger hardware, but less of it.

I appreciate you sharing your story. I wonder how much, in assimilation, artifacts from other cultures remain, or fuse, with artifacts of the "main" culture or whatever we want to call it.

In other words, do the things from our culture disappear, or just appear to change shape but maintain many of the same structural elements?

We absolutely have to run it ourselves (...corporate reasons...), it's a lightweight service with only a few hundred users so we haven't had to worry much about perf (yet).

SigNoz does look interesting, I may give this a shot, thank you. I'm a bit concerned about it conflicting with other things going on in our docker-compose but it doesn't look too bad..
I have a similar list, no need to worry about my YoE in various things. I left full-time python many years ago. You're right about my current bubble though. I find it productive and useful, compared to python which I have to touch from time to time. My worst gripe is that ML is my new interest and it is all python. I'm basically screwed.

Really good write up. I keep hearing people say that we need folks outside of AI to start paying more attention and weighing in on how these systems are used (Ethan in this piece, Eric Schmidt, Sam Altman, Dario, etc), but how can we do that when most people aren't even aware of what is happening? When I talk to friends outside of tech, they are still thinking of AI as a homework helper or parlor trick machine.

What will the "ChatGPT moment" be for the rest of the population?
Then they're saying specifically Chinese and Indian managers hire people who are less skilled than the best candidates available to them. It's a fishy claim that needs proof.
You can write a custom hash method that returns -1 (and the one you wrote verifiably does.)

The standard (not custom) hash function, in CPython, which calls your custom method and returns the actual value CPython uses for bucketing, will return -2 in that case, though.

Which is necessary, so that, e.g., following the single mathematical function for hashing of numeric types published in the Python Language Reference will preserve x==y implies hash(x)==hash(y) for custom and build in numeric types in CPython where hash(-1) does not follow that pattern.

Even though for -1 itself, the divergence from the rule is in __hash__ itself. This is also consistent with the basic rule that dunder methods are for communication with the standard machinery, but external consumers should use the standard machinery, not the dunder method.

I was thinking about this as well, and it makes sense if Meta is planning a big sports push. Using a Quest 3, the sports "coverage" I've seen has been compelling (virtual NBA courtside seats are pretty nifty), especially MMA. Zuck's an MMA enthusiast so it fits.

> I'm frequently surprised by the amount of seemingly ordinary skills I picked up as a bored child that other people didn't. This was an obvious way to solve those "spot the difference" pictures in magazines.

Conversely, I'm amazed by the amount of things I discover as an adult are not common experiences or skills for people, despite being considered as such. This includes, for example, having an inner voice (which I do), or ability to visualize things in your head (which I don't).

Wrt. the latter, when I learned as an adult that some people actually can conjure up images in their mind on demand[0], and conversely that aphantasia is a thing, it took me few more years to connect that back to some early experiences in childhood - being bored out of my mind by some well-known novels that my parents and teachers found particularly engaging. Specifically, the ones rich in descriptions of scenery. They'd say that's the best part, what makes the story rich and immersive, and that's what imagination is for and those books are good for exercising it. Meanwhile, I'd feel ashamed and wonder what the fuck are they talking about, while skimming to find where the descriptions end so I can resume reading from there. Well, it turns out what they said was true for them, but is not true for people like me, who can't visualize to save their life.

Well, except in dreams. Which makes the whole thing even more fascinating.

> Some recent example of things I shared:

Interesting. I somehow managed to never learn either, so thanks! Ironically, I realize now I've probably seen people do the jacket swing trick hundreds of times, and yet it never registered in my mind as a distinct technique, much less one that I could learn.

EDIT:

One such skill I didn't pick up until my wife taught me, and that I know many (most?) people don't know, is how to correctly pour liquids out of rectangular containers with off-centre openings. Think a milk box, or 5L jug, or fuel canister. Turns out, you shouldn't flip them to give the liquid the shortest path to destination, but the opposite - have it flow alongside the entire top edge of the container. This gives you steadier flow, and you'll spill less. I still find it counterintuitive, but it works.

Too many people still don't understand C's greatest failure: the undefined behavior. Most people assume that if you write past an array then the result may be a program crash; but actually undefined behavior includes other wonderful options such as stealing all your money, encrypting all your files and extorting you for some bitcoin, or even partially destroying a nuclear isotopes processing facility. Undefined really means undefined, theoretically some demons may start flying out of your nose and it would be completely up to spec. If you think that this is justified by "performance gains" or some other nonsense then I really don't know what to tell you!
The US does spend tens of billions fighting homelessness though. The US is very generous in this regard.

The problem is it’s not solvable by building homes. It’s about addiction and mental illness. And because of the US constitution, it’s very difficult to help Americans that do not want to be helped.

> And actually, humans can't really do 2 either!

> That is: humans can't immediately make use of entirely-novel insights that weren't "trained in", but only just came to them, any more than LLMs can!

Agreed – but I'd argue that they both can, albeit in an extremely clunky way (i.e. very similar to "chain-of-thought" LLMs): Mechanically applying the new insights in a low-efficiency, "emulated" layer.

> LLMs don't get to do either of these things. LLMs don't do "memory consolidation"; there is no gradual online/semi-online conversion of "experiences" into weights, i.e. reifying the "code stored as data" into becoming "code" that can be executed as part of the model.

At the moment that's definitely their biggest weakness, but one could argue that memory consolidation happens ~once per year, globally, as past interactions with them almost certainly become future training data.

In some ways, that's more powerful than a single human gradient descending overnight and in the shower; in others, it's obviously much worse.

If the built-in hash function returned -1 when a custom __hash__ method did so, then custom numeric classes following the hashing guidelines in the Python Language Reference designed to maintain the x==y => hash(x)==hash(y) invariant would fail to maintain that invariant on the reference implementation of Python due to a CPython implementation detail, which would be a Bad Thing™.
> I disagree that there is a wide held belief that everything was done in the last decade.

I think I may have miscommunicated there—I'm not saying that anyone believes that we made all of the progress of the last 150+ years in this past decade. I'm saying that in this past decade progressives have forgotten that it takes generations to make even small changes. You can't hold the national government for a few years and push a bunch of bills through and coerce a bunch of companies into going through the motions of equity and then expect anything you did to stick.

I think where we do disagree is that I do believe real progress has been made over the last 160 years. Yes, we're still working towards the goals that were defined 160 years ago, but we're nowhere near where we started.

Change like this has to happen on the scale of generations because people ossify and you frankly have to wait for them to pass on. Your only choices are to gradually change the culture as generations roll over or to undo democracy itself. You can't have both a democracy and rapid social change to your preferred specs.

People hate om commie blocks but it was an excellent solution to mass produce affordable housing in war torn Europe. The free market is full of cheap mass produced stuff. Why can't housing be mass produced? Why are there not more economic options? It's almost always restrictive regulations that stops these solutions from happening.
I'm working on fixing this exact problem[1]. Crawlers are gonna keep crawling no matter what, so a solution to meet them where they are is to create a centralized platform that builds in an edge TTL cache, respects robots.txt and retry-after headers out of the box, etc. If there is a convenient and affordable solution that plays nicely with websites, the hope is that devs will gravitate towards the well-behaved solution.

Not many people supported those "fundamental values" to begin with. The only people that wanted DEI policies were extremely loud liberals (that temporarily gained power by steamrolling the apathetic majority)

Is that really different than traditional Western societies? Medieval European societies had complex systems governing shared rights and ownership of common grazing lands and forests, for example. Those rights changed over time (such as through the Inclosure Acts) but it's not a concept alien to western societies.
