For context, the submitter of the issue is Anush Elangovan from AMD who's recently been a lot more active on social after the SemiAnalysis article, and taking the reigns / responsibility of moving AMD's software efforts forward.

However you want to dissect this specific issue, I'd generally consider this a positive step and nice to see it hit the front page.

How does this relate to the prior comment?
Sandisk used to offer basic old-school mp3 players but looks like they shut them down. Can still find used on Amazon/ebay.

iOS has KMPlayer which was good the last time I used it:

Also Plexamp if you want to use Plex.

Walmart has a big selection of mp3 players:

However, i was not able to find good enough one that I would recommend. You can try searching yourself.

I personally use Plexamp and Musi.
My first boss who started in the late 60's said 1 based indexing exists because the early programmers with mathematics training thought ordinary people are too stupid to get zero based indexing.
A part of reason No one else can make these machines is because US has tight control on who's allowed to even develop that tech.

Well luckily for them, I’d imagine they don’t think too hard about it.
I agree that people don't like being called out for their views (on race, lgbtq, women, whatever). They would rather be left to believe what they believe in peace and not face the disapprobation of others.

Calling individuals may even further radicalize them, as you say. I am not convinced on this point, I sort of think their mind is not changing either way, but maybe I am wrong.

What I am sure of is, it is not the responsibility of people whose rights are being taken away to be polite to their oppressors for the sake of rhetorical strategy.
It does mean he will behave dictatorially, and make dictatorial decisions as president as far as the system will allow. Previous experience (his last presidency) shows he will take every opportunity, and has a lot of leeway in your "democratic" system.

Celestial navigation actually drove the development of accurate clocks

Quartz clocks didn't overtake chronometers in terms of accuracy until the mid 20th century, and chronometers will still beat regular crystals like you'd find in cheap electronics.
Whether a new or amended TN is required depends on the job duties, not the title, so it appears that your TN should remain valid. But you should speak with your company's attorney about what you should carry with you when you travel and how you should respond to questions about your job. The same is largely true for your PERM application unless possibly the promotion puts you in a significantly higher comp bracket or significantly changes your place in the company's hierarchy.

> because gas is vastly cheaper per unit energy

https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/energy-price-cap

Looking at the prices, and considering heat pumps are 300-400% efficient per kWh it looks like heat pumps may be slightly more expensive, although on a low night tariff it might be closer or cheaper if you consider 8 hours at 7p/kWh.
Many of the richest people also come from places where they COULD afford to fail. Let's be honest, looking at patterns to become wildly wealthy is all survivorship bias, although, if you're well off to begin with, you're more likely to actually survive, and that makes you more willing to give it a shot.
As the underdog AMD can't afford to have their efforts perceived as half-assed or a hobby or whatever. They should be moving heaven and earth to maximize their value proposition, promising and delivering on longer support horizons to demonstrate the long term value of their ecosystem.
-45F is pretty cold. Last weekend in southwestern North Dakota windchill temps were down in the -70F range. It's -51F in my hometown in northern ND right now.

An interesting tidbit was that with the -70F in ND and it being 92F in Miami at the same time there was a 162 degree temp difference in lower 48 states.
IP law isn't hypocritical. It's doing what it was built to do[0]: centralize control of publishing in the hands of capital so that the state can then regulate speech through regulating those publishers.

You see, in England, publishing used to be a state monopoly, but it was extremely unpopular with authors, so Parliament dropped the law that established the monopoly. But they still wanted the control over speech that such a monopoly would provide. Publishers had a long habit of ripping off[1] authors, so this new censorship regime was sold as a way to bind publishers to authors. In other words, cede to the state control[2] over your speech and we'll mint you memberships to the new and upcoming capitalist class.

Copyright is often framed as a bargain, or social contract[3] between the public and authors: we agree to not copy this work for X years and you agree to make works without expectation of prepayment. The real social contract is between authors, publishers, and the state: you deliver our propaganda, and we treat authors' labor as a special kind of capital, which publishers are allowed to trade like stocks.

Like all social contracts, this deal has changed before and it is currently changing now. Publishers still have an interest in cutting authors out of the deal, and generative AI gives them cover to do so in the name of innovation.

The issue is game-theoretic. There’s value in having money, absolutely, but most people end up having to chase it and never get any. If one person chases money, emancipation results for him. If everyone chases money, as most of us are forced to do, we end up miserable, and nobody wins except the people we should be removing from power as fast as possible.

Money clearly matters a lot, though. Why? Because we live in an objectively evil society—an oligarchy that has no language but money.

> there seems to be a common theme around not believing in the idea/product/people too deeply, thus leading to faulty or mis-step execution. would it be right to say that?

Not sure whether you're asking whether that sentiment exists or if it's correct. But either way, there's no easy answer to that. If you don't believe that's not helpful, but on the other hand, if your beliefs don't align with reality that's not helpful either. It's possible to succeed without strong convictions, and it's possible to succeed with convictions that don't align with reality, but if you have to choose one or the other, believing in yourself is a better than believing in reality if your goal is material success.

Rollerball vs. Ballpoint Pens: A Comparison
Apologists are crazy. It's clearly shit
Related to many interesting/crazy things being lost to history because the observer/actor is too busy to record them, and the things that do get reported consequently not representing reality... (And maybe a little relevant to the somber news events on this Monday.)

Many major religions prohibit making a show of good deeds. You're supposed to do it secretly, so that your intentions are pure.

But other people only see when a good deed is reported, so we're getting a distorted version of reality.

Some of these are reported for good reasons. But the worst form would be what social media kids are bombarded with: things like the clinically oblivious "influencers" who make videos of themselves exploiting a homeless person with a "charity" stunt.

One way to do good, while also letting people be inspired, is to do it anonymously. For example, the donation in a large crowd of them, or the anonymous rich-person's donation to a good cause (not a vanity university department named after yourself!), or any of the countless ways that one person quietly helps someone else.

You'll never know most of the times someone else helped you out, and most of the times you helped out someone else will also never be known. That's OK.

If you ever have the occasion to jump into an icy lake, to save a busload of photogenic schoolchildren and puppies, then you must try to get out of there right after, before anyone's phone dries out. Then the story will be about people simply doing the right thing, even an amazing thing, and fading back into the crowd. It'll be one of the best stories ever.
As a former founder (formerly living in London) trying to raise VC funding in London this is exactly what my experience.

I once did a pitch contest and they required we put together a business plan with financials. You want me to...what? Who on earth can read a pro forma for a pre-revenue SaaS business and say "ah yes this is worth of investment because this pro forma looks great".

London is all about banking and it shows.
I can also make the counterargument that people who grew up in hardship are more likely to become relentless businessmen. Most of the top richest people in America are immigrants.

Most people don’t start a business because they tell themselves that it won’t work. It’s the hard truth that most people don’t want to hear.

If you read about most founders they don’t become rich due to luck or background or whatever. No most of the time they set themselves a goal and then do EVERYTHING to get there. They don’t care whether their parents had money or not. Or whether the market timing is right. They just do whatever they need to do.

I work in finance too and see similar, but are these examples real, or a remix of real examples.
Multiple "diabolical" (his word, not mine) plans to fool people about what the business really is (an attempt to get in the door with one pitch, then pivot to the real plan and steal their lunch) did not work out. Sorry about that, but putting out this post won't help this guy execute on similar plans in the future.
Good thought. The only change I'd make, to make your neutrality explicit, is to say

One differentiator is that it's factory produced (not just a one off)
Well, now it isn't even that we can't be convinced. Companies have decided that they like this way of operating so they are refusing to offer what you propose. They're more than happy to double-dip and lock people into hard-to-cancel subscriptions while continuing to hoover as much data as they can, though.

But even if they did offer what you suggest, the next move would be to keep people poor so they wouldn't want to "waste" money on that option anyway.

Thanks for all your writing on these topics Simon! It has turned me from a bit of a naysayer to an optimist around this tooling, especially being able running stuff locally with access to tools. Have an M4 Pro mac mini arriving this week to have a similar self hosted setup over tailscale.
I also experimented with randomized text adventure game development back in the day but went a different route. I created an n-gram markov model scraped off hundreds of old I.F. games. The maze would be generated, and the markov model would be used to generate the description of each of the rooms. I then used a keyword/POS extractors/etc. to extract a structured well-modeled data representation of the room in terms of items, monsters, etc.

It worked kind of well, but it was more of an experience in exploration (almost like a MUD) rather than a cohesive linear game.

Of course, much later down the line, games like AI Dungeon really dialed up this concept.
Its clearly shit, but you're delusional if you think I'm an apologist.
Why not? If you are a startup founder you might have significant capital invested and be in debt. The government will not pay your companies bills while you are unable to work.

I think a VC funding you is a much better security against any of these events than health insurance being forcibly deducted from your pay.

There's a great YouTube channel that has a lot to say about this: carefree wanderings (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnEuIogVV2Mv6Q1a3nHIRsQ).

The idea is that after first sincerity, and then authenticity, we are moving into a new identity generating technology (in the philosophical sense of the word technology) called "profilicity" which is focussed on curating a profile across a variety of media channels. This profile is more multifaceted than an authenticity and is created or evolved with deliberate intent.

I'd bet that it's a higher percentage. That 15% represents what we have already found. There is likely more at greater depths we haven't found, and perhaps other types of life we aren't yet recognizing yet (a parallel to finding Archaea),

I'm happy about this. It makes all correct programs faster with no downside, and incorrect programs are, well, incorrect. And IMO, if this would be unacceptable for anyone's risk tolerance, they should be writing their stuff in a memory-safe language like Rust instead of C or C++.
the argument being made by the article is that microsoft 95 was better than operating systems now

operating systems aren't where most innovation happens, obviously, nor should they be, but they have made progress in usability, security, performance, etc. technology has certainly made incredible progress in 30 years

> if it's well formatted.

Let's be real, how often do you see this?

> verbose information is better in average case

Honestly, no. I hate this. I spend far more time filtering output than trying to generate more. I'm glad I have the option to generate more, because sometimes the needle isn't in the haystack. But usually more verbose output just means adding more hay.

Again, it is really easy to add more output and this is actually an easier problem than the reverse. FATAL ERROR WARN INFO DEBUG TRACE log levels have been around for awhile and they've been working really well.

I'll let you in on something. If you're frequently having to reach for verbose outputs, there's probably a better tool. That is, unless if it is personal preference. Which in that case, alias is for you. I have to reiterate, the "average case" and "average user" does not exist. This argument will not get you anywhere because you're talking about a unicorn. No matter how much you think they exist, they don't. It is only average within a more specific subdomain. It might appear average to you because you work with those types of people and are part of those communities, but someone else from a different community will have very different viewpoints. So it is very intentional that things are not designed for "the average" because there is none.

In conversational English, the phrase "He's just a guy" carries an idiomatic meaning along the lines of, "This person is no different from anyone else. He has no special power or influence or insight." And that might be true with respect to insight, but it is clearly not true with respect to power and influence. And that is why, when PG says something tone-deaf, it can hurt more than when some rando does it.

Yes. So there may be a price to pay, one day.

But a vague, unsubstantiated feeling that one day, you might introduce a one-off indexing bug should not justify discarding Lua, and all its substantial benefits over project.

Arguing the pro's of Rust data-structure interop in case of a Rust project - that makes sense. This, this is basically nonsense.
These are all solutions that ignore the main problem. They literally cannot build enough properties (whatever they are) to fill current demand. Even if they relax the regulations that we currently have in place. Even there were enough properties built the infrastructure for utilities can't be scaled easily. There are issues building new properties right now because the electric grid cannot handle the combination of that and large data centres.

Since supply of house cannot be increased to solve this problem, you need to lessen the demand. The most obvious way to do this that I can see is to put a cap on immigration that is much lower than the number of people leaving (about 400,000 people leave the UK each year). However for various reasons this is seen as absolute verboten.

BTW, I know exactly the type of buildings you are talking about (we have them in Manchester) and they are typically look awful and usually start falling apart after shortly after construction. They are also not very nice to live in (I have lived in one for short amount of time).

Simulation is a tool. Determining whether the results of a simulation are consistent and valid requires a great deal of experience.
Almost anyone can use fluid mechanics simulation software and obtain beautiful multicolor images. Only an expert will be able to determine whether they're worth anything, and when it's time to run a mock-up to validate calculations.

Simulation can help train new engineers, helping them to understand complex physical phenomena, but it cannot replace field experience.

The organization of the production site, the employees and the quality culture are an integral part of the production tool, and cannot be simulated.
