An old legacy car is definitely not more complicated than designing and manufacturing a cutting edge silicon made for high performance compute.

The price difference is just the free market supply and demand at work.

People and businesses pay more for the latest Nvidia GPUs than for an old car because for their use case it's worth it, they can't get a better GPU from anywhere else because they're complex to design and manufacture en-masse and nobody else than Nvidia + TSMC can do it right now.

People pay less for an old beater car than for Nvidia GPUs, because it's not worth it, there's a lot better options out there in terms of cars and cars are interchangeable commodities easy and cheap to design and manufacture at scale at this point, but there's no better options easier to replace what Nvidia is selling.

Comparing a top GPU with old cars is like comparing apples to monkeys, it makes no sense that doesn't prove any point.
Rails isn't boring by any definition, it's full of surprises, metaprogramming magic and DSLs and a culture that hates code comments. Plus a community that keeps changing best practices every other year.

Which doesn't mean it's bad or anything. But "boring" shouldn't be redefined to "something I like" or "something I make money with".

You say that as if there is some conscious decision to explicitly allow each and every instance of questionable speech like it's their job to police it.

Do you consider Cloudflare agreeing with the speech on 4chan by allowing them to use their services?

I take comfort in knowing that (many) companies understand they should not be the judge of what speech should be allowed, I see them merely as a conduit and not an arbiter. This is exactly why Section 230 exists in the US, it shields providers from what other people say or do when using their networks. And if we didn't have that, I think the Internet as it stands would be completely different.

Not sure what good you thought it was going to do to come into a thread about a US company, say they are defending free speech and then turn around and go "yea I don't believe in free speech".

I would die for their right to free speech even if I don't agree with what they say. Are you prepared to do the same for your beliefs?
Advertising in the Nix space is wild. I first learned about it in the realm of reproducible builds as well, which feels more like a “nix the language” feature

This led me to install nixos which is really kind of an output of that design, a distribution built from nixpgks. There are some rough spots that make it hard for a daily driver.

That distro is a bit much for my needs and I have retreated back to a home-manager cross platform setup for my arch/debian/macos systems, and it turns out the entire reason I started looking at Nix (builds) went nowhere

Getting adoption for Nix builds at work or with my OSS projects is has been hard. Docker is everywhere and easy, while Nix feels like a fractured and poorly documented ecosystem.
A Strix Halo minipc might be a good mid tier option once they're out, though AMD still isn't clear on how much they'll overprice them.

Core Ultra Arc iGPU boxes are pretty neat too for being standalone and can be loaded up with DDR5 shared memory, efficient and usable in terms of speed, though that's definitely low end performance, plus SYCL and IPEX are a bit eh.
>that it creates long runs of collisions

Yes, of course. In practice it still outperforms pretty much anything else. The lower fill factor is still cheaper (memory footprint) than having buckets and indirection.
Personal opinion is that JetBrains products have gone down hill the last few years. Tons of memory leaks and performance issues. They are also way behind on the AI front, borderline obsolete in some areas. This is coming from someone who has used jetbrains daily for over a decade
It's a cycle.

There have been people entering the profession for (purported) money and not love of the craft for at least as long as the 20 years I've been in it. So long as there are also people who still genuinely enjoy it and take pride in doing the job well, then the junior->expert pipeline isn't lost.

I buy that LLMs may shift the proportion of those two camps. But doubt it will really eliminate those who genuinely love building things with code.
What I'm seeing is that previous off shoring was mostly done with contract orgs. I'm seeing direct hiring this time. I guess for more control.
I've built video rigs that did just that. An external expansion chassis that you could put additional PCIe cards when the host only had 3 slots. The whole eGPU used to be a cute thing, but it might have been more foreshadowing than we realized.

> Before people start to mess with the standard

No, it's still a really good reason to mess with the standard.

While the standard doesn't evolve into something slightly modern, yes, that workaround is better than the way people usually write SQL. But its existence isn't a reason not to fix the fundamental problem.
Hi all!

As a heavy user of NotebookLM, I often came across the problem of not able to parse youtube video from time to time. I have created this tool that would be able to get the transcript of any YouTube video. I used this almost everyday now and I hope you liked it too!
yeah - valid point. it seems like they all moved past 5400RPM at the 14TB level.
> I am not too impressed with the "chips and cheese ant's view article" as they don't uncover the reason why performance is SO PATHETIC!

Performance on GPU has always been about Drivers. Chip and Cheese is only here to show the uArch behind it. This isn't even new as we should have learned all about it during Voodoo 3Dfx era. And 9 years have passed since an ( now retired ) Intel Engineers said that they would be completing against Nvidia by 2020 if not 2021. We are now in 2025 and they are not even close. But somehow Raja Koduri was suppose to save them and now gone.
I think perhaps many people did not know this exists.

I know that I sure did not. I was actually thinking about building something similar as an experiment for a local Amish community.

The Amish are generally against technology, but this falls into a category of somewhat acceptable usage (they generally use landline telephones connected to a neighbor's barn for purposes of arranging work and travel) .. but it's unclear how accepted something like this might be.

In my mind I was imagining they might be most interested in using it for medical advice, and likely they would come up with their own creative uses for it as well.

I got the idea when talking to an Amish guy and he mentioned that he was getting a ride from someone and the topic of when a particular farm store opened, so the driver pulled out his phone and asked it via voice what time the store opened, and the phone told him the answer. The Amish guy was amazed that the phone talked back to him.

I've been thinking I'm going to blow this guy's mind and build something to make this more advanced technology accessible to them.

Really cool to see that it already exists.

I'm going to let them know about this and see what comes out of it.
The claim you make in your first paragraph does not follow from the second paragraph. While indeed a professional / artist / skilled passionate amateur will be limited way less than a random snapshot taker, as they might overcome many limitations in many creative ways, it’s not true that the gear does not matter and it’s not limiting.

If it doesn’t, then why do professionals use gear that’s often worth tens or hundreds thousand dollars? Try to picture wildlife or soccer with a smartphone from 2010. Are you sure it’s not limiting you? ;)

In photography both things matter: skill AND tools.

Also not all photographers are alike and not all photography is art. Event / documentation photography is also professional photography. It requires repeatability and acceptable results, not great results once in a while. That’s why professionals use expensive, sophisticated gear with autofocus, eyetracking, high speed drive etc. They cannot afford getting only 1 shot out of 1000 great. They need all (most) shots good enough.

Btw: Many amateurs who do photography for fun are often way more artistically skilled than professionals so I would not look down on them. It applies not just to photography but probably any discipline. The original meaning of the word „amateur” is actually very positive. Being paid for something does not mean you’re good at it. I’ve seen plenty of terrible quality work from professionals (in photography, in computer programming, in electronics design/rework).
To quote myself[1]: I don't get why those Rustafaris do this in the first place. Like, if you want to contribute to a piece of software written in C, then write your contributions in C. If, on the other hand, you want a Linux kernel in Rust... Then just fork it and rewrite it in Rust. It's not as if that were a new idea, is it? Heck, most days it feels like about half the top headlines here are “<Software X> rewritten in Rust!” So why don't they just do that in stead of this constant drama???

I don’t record my conversations and if some lawyer tells me that they have a recording of me saying something I’d be more inclined to believe them. “Maybe I actually said that? Maybe I made a mistake? Maybe I don’t remember it now correctly?”

So I’d take it with a pinch of salt but the lawyers might be absolutely correct as well. I’m just saying I can see it as a tactic but maybe I’m a bit paranoid. Wondering if just I jumped to this conclusion?
You're having a different conversation instead of answering them.
Then I hereby submit my vote in favor of revolt. I mean hey, they think they can replace us with AI coders and want to get rid of us anyways. But if we are just yes men and don't take pride in our work, then are we that different?

Ok... a longshot (and it's not particularly detailed): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=11275...

Rimatomics is a mod for the strategy/base builder game Rimworld, adding nuclear reactors and real-world/fictional nuclear powered weapons. You can build your own reactor designs by connecting cores to heating and cooling lines, the heating line to a turbine and then a turbine into a power generator. The challenge comes less from meticulously managing the reactor, and more from protecting it during raids and disruptive events. It's not really a "study sim" so much as it's a satisfyingly complete nuclear reactor conversion mod, but I've had a few reactor-focused playthroughs that are very satisfying.

I've played probably a hundred hours with this mod on Linux and it's quite good. Your enjoyment will probably depend on whether the base game of Rimworld appeals to you though.
Thanks!!! I also saw your other post about C# - maybe one day JetBrains would change their mind!

I got so much shit for building an API that would not answer any queries about the signed documents until the signature had been verified. Trying to speed up processing and routing by making decisions before the authenticity of the data has been verified is a fool’s errand and false economy. You can’t make decisions based on what might be lies, and malicious ones at that. I spent a lot of time making the signature checks faster rather than buckling and making the signatures a joke.

No, that’s not how it works.

TSMC publishes industrial research, not pure science research like a university.

In this context the amount of detail they release is careful balance of PR benefit vs. competitive advantage vs. patent status vs. keeping their talent happy because good researches want their names in prestigious journals.
The GPUs require additional power, as the PCI-e slot they're connected to can only carry so much.

Obviosly there are GPUs without aux power connectors, but they're considered low-tier.
Now you're talking about someone who can describe what they want in enough so that an AI can generate a strictly defined requirements document with enough detail that another AI (or the same AI) can generate working code?

It's just AI all the way down, and each step still needs to be validated because AI is not reliable

Not true at all. We are in the same regime as the pre 2008 rate response. We are below the late 90s boom times.

So you’d need some other explanation other than bare rates.
> The law firm says the surgeon made false claims. (Which claims? Were they false?)

The letter seems clear to me, and unfortunately for the doctor they have receipts (phone call recordings and the paperwork)

The biggest problem for the doctor is that they have a record of the doctor conceding that the wrong paperwork was submitted by her office (hence the call) and that the UHC rep asked for her to call back when convenient (not in the middle of surgery).

I think the UHC doctor got carried away, assumed all mistakes were on UHC’s end rather than her own admin staff, and then went to TikTok to tell a viral story with an exaggerated (at best) version of events.

> Alas, I guess "big company vs plucky surgeon in social media spat" is a simple script that requires no work, we don't need to be curious about who the hero(ine) and the villain are.

This mentality that we must pick a side, where one side is good and the other side is bad, is a huge problem with social media ragebait.

We can admit that the surgeon was wrong to make a viral TikTok with information that was somewhere between very misleading and an outright lie. Admitting this doesn’t make UHC the good guy or the hero.

You don’t have to pick a side. You shouldn’t automatically assume viral TikToks are true because they are targeted at companies you dislike.
Which is simultaneously illegal, antisocial, and logistically difficult.
Of course you can have an immune system, where things are not exposed or connected to where they could be vulnerable. For example, there is nothing that a "script kiddie" could write in the comment field of Hacker News that would be able to take control of your computer.

I don't buy into the "cyber security" arguments, and frankly I consider it a grift to keep hackers employed by playing on the fears of people. The same thing as "anti-virus" software, which never really worked in real life and isn't widely used anymore.
I'm the kind of guy who decently likes maps, and I pay attention to where I'm going and also to the map before, during, and after using a GPS (Google maps). I do benefit from Google maps in learning my way around a place. It depends on how you use it. So if people use LLMs to code without trying to learn from it and just copy and paste, then yeah, they're not going to learn the skills themselves. But if they are paying attention to the answers they are getting from the LLMs, adjusting things themselves, etc. then they should be able to learn from that as well as they can from online code snippets, modulus the (however occasional) bad examples from the LLM.

PWAs can run fully offline using service workers.

> In Chromium it's buried under dots, "Cast, Save and Share" (which is a bizarre mashup of disparate functions), and finally "Install page as app".

Chromium supports prompting the user to install the app. There's also an icon in the address bar if the page has an app manifest.

> I tried turning off my internet, and neither figma nor openDAW showed anything more than a blank page, which confirms my feeling of uncertainty around PWAs, namely, how do you know what will actually work offline.

Figma nor OpenDAW don't seem to be configured as offline PWAs.

> All this is of course addressable with a lot more infrastructure and work from browser and OS makers.

The problems you encountered are mostly solved in PWA APIs already, at least for Chromium based browsers. There is some variation in some features between browsers and OSs (Safari and iOS are particularly bad).

> To me it seems like a lot of development to end up with something that behaves a lot like Electron, with the added easteregg of being able to access applications in a browser, without intending that anybody actually do so.

PWAs are e.g. easier to install, have smaller footprint, are more portable and are a lot more secure. Not sure what you mean by "accessing applications in a browser". PWAs can't access anything a normal website can't.

The GPL is not about becoming huge, it's about building a community around shared software. The goal is not to prevent Microsoft from stealing your software, it is to promote the idea amongst software authors and users that software should be free to modify and share and that there should be no distinction between users and authors; There is no such statement with the MIT. I believe this makes sense regardless of the size of the software.
> Perhaps I'm just replying to weigh down the conversation and thread, dilute Altman's profiteering propaganda.

At least you're self aware enough to know that you've contributed noise but not any signal.

And by the way, when you talk to a stranger and immediately get horny to tell them "you sound unhinged" that only reveals that it is you who is in fact unhinged, for you don't know jack about the stranger, but you assume that you are smarter and more knowledgeable than you actually are.

You're the kind of person who says "I don't know what you're talking about" to your interlocutor, and imagine that you saying that statement somehow invalidates the existence of what they are talking about. It's a child's psychology: if you say something doesn't exist then it must not exist.

> It seems like you are confusing threads (again).

smh. There's only 1 thread but perhaps you're the one lost in the maze. There's a word for reprobates like you who, during a discussion, imagine they spot an error, then latch onto that assumed error in order to claim it characterises the entire conversation. Essentially it only shows bad faith and it's a retarded way for you to talk to people. I surely hope your parents will teach you how to talk to strangers. Show them this thread and your responses and ask them for their perspective. If they actually don't know how to teach you, then that's definitely too bad.
No diss to the OP, but is there any point to sharing posts like this?

1) the headline is bait for a story content that's at best inconclusive,
2) of the two sources for this story, one analyst's point that IT spending on AI outpaced new hires seems to do most of the post's heavy lifting,
3) the second source -- an Indeed economist -- makes almost the opposite point that after increased spending on AI at the expense of new hires, spending on the is stabilizing

N3B is used by Intel for its Lunar Lake, Arrow Lake S and Arrow Lake H CPUs and GPUs, so it is also in full production for high-power non-small and non-mobile chips.

Of course, even if N3B is fine for desktop CPUs and for smaller GPUs, it may still have too low yields for chips of the size of the top models of NVIDIA GPUs.
