I looked at the screenshot they posted about the 2.23M, which is all they posted. So we know, if I’m correct, absolutely and precisely nothing about this payment? Who was doing the equity assessment, how many people over what time period? What are the details of this, what was the purpose? I went digging briefly and found nothing. Why would I assume this is waste without any clue what it is?
Why does this even matter? The system will only ever load code into RAM that's actually used by the final binary, because code is fetched as-needed from disk/mass storage.

> My Atari 800 had 48k and a cassette drive...

Your Atari 800 also had multiple 'GPUs' (CTIA and ANTIC), and a dedicated 'audio processing unit' (POKEY) as well as various input/output ports. Conceptually it was more advanced than the IBM PC up to around the mid-90s and closer to the modular hardware design we have today with multiple losely coupled autonomous coprocessors.

It is kind of interesting how the first popular 8-bit home computer also was the most technically advanced until the Commodore Amiga entered the scene (which was the direct technical successor to the 8-bit Atari, designed by the same people).
> And, obviously the ground truth should be "COCONUT MILK" (the word milk is almost entirely out of the picture, but is still the right answer that a human would give).

Maybe? Seems application-dependent to me.

If you're OCRing checks or invoices or car license plates or tables in PDF documents, you might prefer a model that's more conservative when it comes to filling in the blanks!

And even when recognising packaged coconut products, you've also got your organic coconut oil, organic coconut milk with reduced fat, organic coconut cream, organic coconut flakes, organic coconut dessicated chips, organic coconut and strawberry bites, organic coconut milk powder, organic coconut milk block, organic coconut milk 9% fat, organic coconut yoghurt, organic coconut milk long life barista-style drink, organic coconut kefir, organic coconut banana and pear baby food pouches, organic coconut banana and pineapple smoothie, organic coconut scented body wash and so on.

Are you suggesting the only view people are allowed to have is to be full in on capitalism, no questions asked? Bizarre take.
Sure, agreed though a larger percentage of VC funded startups exit than you probably think. Those "90% fail" stats are made up mostly by people who got traditional angel investment or no investment at all.

I'm just saying there's two sides to the coin, that's all.

I think there's a very genuine element of 'show me how motivated you are' you also cannot expect to get a normal standard rate company salary when you own most of the equity and aren't profitable. I think it's reasonable on balance.
The timing is certainly convincing. The SEC pivoting to focus on "innovation" (which I take to be crypto) and "capital formation", CFPB being shut-down, etc. It'll be interesting to see what happens when the wheels fall off, Enron style.

Capitalism interprets regulation as damage and routes around it, as someone might have said.
No, if I was deaf my views on this would still be the same. I would still think that "DEI" as an idea is not something the federal government should spend money on.

I would also still support the ADA and its enforcement.

These two ideas are not in conflict. No one is trying to strip the legal rights of deaf people, nor will it happen. That is a straw man/hyperbole.
Look, I don't know what to say without just assuming you're approaching this discussion in bad faith.

Saying people "compulsively downvote" the stuff above is already a strong claim that you have no way to substantiate. I think more broadly what you're claiming is that the people downvoting you and anonfordays are emotional and doing so out of political zealotry, and... again, that a pretty strong claim.

People can downvote a post not because they strongly disagree with its claims, but because they strongly dislike its inflammatory tone ("fragile entryist", "Marcan and others like him leave long paths of destruction in their wake", etc).

People who strongly disagree with a post don't necessary believe the exact opposite of its claims. They can disagree with some of the claims and agree with others, or disagree with the very framing of the post.

If I say "we should outlaw all guns because gun crimes are awful" and you disagree, that doesn't mean you think gun crimes are great.

> The author himself is falling to the "Advertising Trap" of click-baiting his potential audience.

Maybe? It's provocative, but I felt (and still feel) it's an accurate metaphor.

The thing that made me start thinking of advertising in these terms is a bit of trivia I picked up (from IIRC Scott Alexander's blog posts) on why big mammals like whales get much less cancer than they should per models that correlate cancer rates with body size and metabolism. Turns out, one hypothesis is that those big animals do get more cancer, and their larger bodies allow the cancer to get proportionally larger - so large, that it eventually develops its own cancer, and gets killed by it.

This image of a cancer growing on another cancer was a good fit for a bunch of personal experiences I had observing social media content marketing people who happened to work in the same room as I did at the time (a spin-off from a startup I worked for), and also fit well with stories about A/B testing services, whose UI encouraged mistakes invalidating results in just the right way to make them think they're getting good value from the testing service. That made me start thinking in these terms, and from there I slowly developed a general cancer analogy, which I then put in the article you just read.

WRT. cancer-on-cancer thing, the article doesn't mention it at all, though it was partly the thought behind this fragment:

> It also allows the advertisers to scam each other on attribution, which isn't surprising if you consider that lying is literally their job. Cancer cells don't play well with each other unless they have to.

I'll need to update the article and include a paragraph about the meta-cancer thing.

Thank you for answering. It's not just FOMO, I guess it's some of that, but what saddens me really, is the fact that so much of the new stuff is node-based.

Specially with all this new AI stuff. I do want to try out things, but as soon as I see that npm command, it's kind of a dealbreaker for me. I just don't want to be bothered with that :)

I know it's kind of biased, I don't really have this issue with other stacks. I have preferences of course, but not the kind of dislike I have for JavaScript on the server-side.
Yes, just like you could do with CLR back in 2001.

Same old, sold with a rebranded package.
It's even worth than that. The personal utility of money is definitely sublinear. Hence a small chance to make a lot of money is worth considerably less than getting its expected value with certainty.
Objectively I agree. Commercially it's a different story.

I also think AI ousting ML historically was uncalled for, and those that did should bow their heads in shame.
Anyone considered doing a PhD after retiring early from their primary career? Seems like it would be a good option if you were financially set for retirement and had “a few years to kill” before accessing your savings/investments. It would reduce the stress of doing it (no great fear of failure, more perspective), cover living expenses, and give you a socially respectable occupation. On the other hand, maybe it would be kind of awkward being a grad student at like 45+ years old?

Fair point. But I would argue if the goal is to really change minds then you have to remove little things that allow people to dismiss everything else you said. Low interest/intelligence supporters have probably been shown the rest of the video at this point, so they will label you as a lier and their side as telling the truth and move on. Is it an unfair standard? Yes! There's also so many other events to use hopefully to better effect.
Genuine question: Do you think Apple will want to move their supply chain on feom the very successful M series Arm based processors, particularly when they have very performant x86 interpretation layers, killer benchmarks, and all the other selling points. I imagine at this point they will be locked in for at least one more cycle, M5, given the lead times on chip production, etc.

RISC-V could be a thing, but its another massive OS move, driver move, new transcription layer(s), and potential instability, for some unproven gains at this point. Arm ramping up pricing could force the issue, I guess

Taxes are a great parallel in many ways:

1. massively complex
2. issues are fixed by adding more complexity (to fix a security issue, close a loophole).
3. users do not understand how it works (but nonetheless have strong opinions).
4. there is never more than token attempt to clean up bloat (although lots of talk about it)
5. The complexity leads to unintended consequences.

As an example if a business pays an employee in the UK:

1. the business (employer NI) pays a payroll tax on the amount paid
2. they deduct another tax (employee NI) based on he employee's weekly income (but if self employed it depends on annual profits, if both its gets complicated).
3. another tax based on the employee's annual income ("income tax").

The second tax is often thought by people to be hypothecated to fund the NHS (many decades ago it funded, and gave people paying it the right to use, the govt funded healthcare before the NHS) or to be used to pay their pension (its hypothecated to do so, but is mostly used to pay current pensions, but for the last few decades how much you pay is not linked to how much you get, which depends on how may years you either paid it, or just fell short of paying it, or claimed certain benefits). its main real purpose these days is to disguise the fact that you pay more tax on earned income than unearned income.

A consequence of this is that one person businesses that work through company (rather than directly self employed) will pay themselves as employees just short of threshold at which income tax start and then pay themselves dividends because corporation tax + income tax on dividends comes to less than employer's NI, employee NI plus income tax.

So, one loophole and a lot of complexity, but any attempt to change it is strongly opposed by people who gain from the current system, but the real reason it continues is that most people do not understand how it all works. Quite a lot of people do not really understand how even the simplest of those taxes works.
There is no causality, what so ever. The perceived causality is built backwards, only to make something appear sensible. Every event in this universe contributes as a cause to every other event in the universe. It's like fluid flow. Every molecule of the fluid affects the movement of every other molecule. The world evolves in a fluid motion, not through isolated causal chains.

Thanks for your research.

Random googling shows lots of people have similar question, and most of time the tread just die out without answer.

phicdn.net as a privacy-protected domain from godaddy sure make the case more suspicious.

Eclipse ran fine under OpenBSD and the rest.

On vt+ape... avoid it. Sam/ACME it's far superior to the Unix cruft. rc+awk+bind+listen+namespaces (and /dev/draw and friends) can do far more than Unix.

Also, NPE it's preferred to APE.
> the IT infra for all companies must at least look like that of Amazon

Well, thanks to AWS, the IT infra for all companies increasingly does look like that of Amazon - because it's Amazon's own infra. Except if they're Azure or GCP customers, of course, but then it's M$'s or Google's infra...
Yes, I second that! Thank you for the unbelievable amount of work you did. I would have never thought that it was even possible to do without vendor support. You made history, and it won't be forgotten or disappear. Now, please take a rest and enjoy life and other hobbies. I wish you the best!

I think this is a good thing to be writing on a blog site which is named after the author himself. The author doesn't want to give the impression that he's taking all the credit, but he also doesn't want to mix up his own blog with a corporate voice. The team he's talking about is easily identified elsewhere, at the bug tracker comment he links to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-oem-6.5/+bug...
It's helpful to reinforce the need for simplicity.

But more helpful would be some principles.

Like: WHY is hardware and software scaling so different?

- Hardware has been adding parallelism and reducing constraints, i.e., reducing interactions

- Software has been adding interactions and building abstractions that hide physical costs, which hides combinatorial growth of compute. Developers often don't even know a call depends on the network or the filesystem, no less how some library interacts with another. Outside of internet-scale algorithms, systems remain mostly usable.

- Companies can mostly transition hardware (via HAL's) - x86 to ARM, DDR4 to 5, multiple network adapters - but they fiercely guard and differentiate on software (due to high switching costs to build expertise in humans), so we get Go and Android and native containers and a million other variations because companies can't be beholden to software vendors.

Also, the quality problem is entirely distinct. There are real-time trading platforms with near-optimal speeds because speed matters most there. For banking web sites, low maintenance and support costs matter most, so the UI is dumb and constraining. Difficult software can make economic sense.

Finally, "bloat" is what you say to big-bank clients who've proliferated javascript dependencies, when you want to sell them on Go as the do-everything-yourself language. It could also be framing a choice between a small expert (US) team and a large distributed (outsourced) team, when you want to show why less can be more. The scarecrow term carries emotion and an intuition without being subject to counter-analysis.
Thank you. And yes, I agree. My theory is that when node became all that and all the young people went all-in, they learned how to solve everything with that mindset. And now, when they all grew up and went corporate, they took with them this way of solving problems and now, we are kind of stuck with it.
that requires google to care about this issue
I find that AI autocomplete, even autocompleting full functions, is capable enough to use. I need to review all my code in detail before pushing, and I need to write unit tests, and I need to "run it once" test it also.

It gets it mostly right most of the time, and often times it quite literally suggests what I was about to type.

This is mostly in Rust and C#, maybe other languages have more of a hurdle for AI.
You're moving the goalposts to leave your internal narrative unchanged. Look, I've worked for huge corps and for the government. There's no particular difference in efficiency between the two; efficiency goes down with scale and legacy rather than with public/privateness. The only non-ideological choices that matter are how much you de/centralise decisions and recording (trading decision efficiency for implementation efficiency) and whether you make those decisions and records at all (moot, someone will anyway, that's valuable data).
Software does matter. It affects time spent and convenience.

I definitely stay with my bank (Lloyds in the UK) partly because they have a good website, and I will not bank with HSBC because their app will not work if you install things from outside the Google App store (and logging into the website needs the app, at least for me at the moment - I think that can be solved).
Eh, I wouldn't be that surprised if it happens from time to time for big events. You'd be talking the very big sophisticated ones, but it is possible to get temporary licenses, and the equipment isn't _catastrophically_ expensive, particularly if you're just renting it.

This: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_Communication_Congress usually has a temporary cell network (I think up to LTE last year) set up for the duration of the event, on a temporary license. And that's basically just done for fun.
I tried using Gemini 2.0 Flash for PDF-to-Markdown parsing of scientific papers after having good results with GPT-4o, but the experience was terrible.

When I sent images of PDF page with extracted text, Gemini mixed headlines with body text, parsed tables incorrectly, and sometimes split tables—placing one part at the top of the page and the rest at the bottom. It also added random numbers (like inserting an “8” for no reason).

When using the Gemini SDK to process full PDFs, Gemini 1.5 could handle them, but Gemini 2.0 only processed the first page. Worse, both versions completely ignored tables.

Among the Gemini models, 1.5 Pro performed the best, reaching about 80% of GPT-4o’s accuracy with image parsing, but it still introduced numerous small errors.

In conclusion, no Gemini model is reliable for PDF-to-Markdown parsing and beyond the hype - I still need to use GPT-4o.
But what if there are lots of diverse and good engineers, and somehow you always end up having to choose between a couple homogeneous ones? To me, that's what DEI in hiring tries to solve. It's not the FUD of "ohh, select the non-white". It's more of making sure one actually gets a representative collection to even choose between. Might be as simple as assessing how the interviews are conducted. Are they take-home tests someone with a small child will not be able to have time for? Is it unpaid internships only certain people can afford to do? Etc.
There's some work predating it, but it was very much undeployed before PIX let out the genie out, because even the early NAT work notes it might be problematic even in short term.

Interesting that the underlying model, a LoRA fine-tune of Qwen2.5-Coder-32B, relies on synthetic data from Claude[1]:

But we had a classic chicken-and-egg problem—we needed data to train the model, but we didn't have any real examples yet. So we started by having Claude generate about 50 synthetic examples that we added to our dataset. We then used that initial fine-tune to ship an early version of Zeta behind a feature flag and started collecting examples from our own team's usage.

...

This approach let us quickly build up a solid dataset of around 400 high-quality examples, which improved the model a lot!

I checked the training set, but couldn't quickly identify which were 'Claude' produced[2]. Would be interesting to see them distinguished out.
