I use a sort of intermediate approach for my personal site. It's just stored as html files in a git repo, and I do write the html by hand for pages that I want to put extra love into (e.g. an annual year-in-review post to share with family and friends). You wrote something in your original "Writing my own damn HTML" post that captures a big part of why this appeals to me: "I see my website as a sort of self-expression project - kind of like a zen garden..."

But handcrafting html is inconvenient to do frequently, so for more ordinary posts I write in markdown and use some custom scripts and pandoc to generate html. For me this approach is more fun than using a static site generator and less annoying (because I spend less time figuring out why an upgrade randomly broke something, or how to make the SSG do things I already know how to do manually). But the only reason it hasn't devolved into a full hand-rolled SSG is that I don't need/want much consistency across pages: there's no shared nav bar and I don't try to keep the styling or layout of older pages in line with newer pages.
That assumes disks never age out and arrays always rebuild fine. That's not guaranteed at all.
Yep look at Sundar Pachai or Tim Cook, they just always go with the flow, that's the way I prefer my CEOs when I invest in corps. It's up to a democracy to fix itself, not corporations. I don't need culture wars in corporations, those need to happen at the voting booths, Washington DC, and protests.

Without 5G SA that standard is an awful battery sucker. My Pixel 6 looses almost 1/3 of its battery capacity when being stuck at 5G NSA.

> Can you tell us more what you surmise we all think is the end-game objective?

Musk's original stated end-game objective is to give humans a chance against ASI by removing the biggest impediment that humans have to communicate digitally, the keyboard.

This is hard to believe as the truth, as it is extremely short-sighted. If ASI can think 1000x faster than a human brain, and with much more intelligence, then what does giving humans even a 100x improvement in I/O achieve? Also, if ASI is achieved, then it will continue to self-improve. The meat brain is stuck at our current speed.

Please see my HN profile for a privacy rant about the downsides, which only assumes a read capability. Once a write capability is introduced, I mean you gotta be kidding me. Who should you trust with that power? The answer is no one.
I agree. Westerners, particularly Americans and Brits, are comfortable or at least reconciled with drastic societal change. China and Russia have seen too many invasions, revolutions, peasant rebellions and ethnic-autonomy rebellions (each of which taking millions of lives) to have anything like the same comfort level that Westerners have.

Part of it is hardware too.

Only the newest routers do gigabit over wifi. If most of your devices are wireless, you'll need to make sure they all have wifi 6 or newer chips to use their full potential.

Even if upgrading your router is a one-time cost, it's still enough effort that most people won't bother.

Given the compute and energy requirements to train & run current SOTA models, I think the current political rulers are more likely to have control of the first AGI.

AGI would then be a very effective tool for maintaining the current authoritative regime.

There's also the thing where like, as you go from iOS Safari to Windows Chrome to Acrobat Reader or whatever, grey market prices plummet. The top-dollar targets all have multilayered runtime protections and whole teams that do nothing but security refactoring. No serverside software is hardened that way (excepting the Linux kernel, maybe, but Linux kernel bugs are a standard component of clientside exploit chains). You could infer a pretty low price.

I will say: at Matasano, we were once asked by an established security company that turned out to be a broker to find PHPBB vulnerabilities.

All valid questions, but it might be that splitting the tool used to bludgeon everyone around is still worth it, even if pace of development slows down considerably.
Yeah, that detail sinks the rest of it. Even if we assume datacenter CPUs were the market preference has been for more cores operating at the same ~2400MHz speed for a long time, what you get for 1 CPU-second these days is ridiculous compared to what you could have gotten 20 years ago. We're talking about NetBurst Xeons as a baseline.

Elevenlabs is also able to raise trivially in this environment: you'd think while they're still floating out here without a moat other than high quality data, they'd overpay if anything and make narrators feel like royalty until they're replaced.

This isn't unlike Uber initially paying drivers massive bonuses and undercharging riders until they were able to leverage their massive network to increase prices past what the taxi providers they had decimated were charging. But in this case the marginal cost of providing the service is so low they don't even have to lose money to run a similar play, just take less of it. (in other words, even ruthless greed is not antithetical to paying these folks better)

If you have a few 100 people in an area literally spending their waking hours worrying about having enough food. Areas without enough of the right nutrients are pretty common. People are pretty good at figuring out what makes them feel better/healthier.

Some places are iron poor, some even resort to eating dirt, especially when pregnant when you need more iron. Some areas are salt poor and animals will go to extreme measures to get to salt. Some areas have poor bioavailability and require crushing, special cooking, soaking, or a narrow range of acidity to be available, which of course becomes the norm for cooking in those areas. Some even become religious standards, things like fish on fridays or avoiding pork (before trichinosis was controlled).
Yeah, nested is a headache. The terminal use to connect to the server doesn’t have a tmux session running locally. That would be a nightmare.
> Of course, sophisticated representations of entire 3D scenes for large groups of users interacting with one another in-world could conceivably push bandwidth requirements up. But at this point, we’re getting into Matrix-like imagined technologies without any solid evidence to suggest a good 4G or 5G connection wouldn’t meet the tech’s bandwidth demands.

Open-world games such as Cyberpunk 2077 already have hours-long downloads for some users.
That's when you load the whole world as one download. Doing it incrementally is worse. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 can pull 100 to 200 Mb/sec from the asset servers.

Metaverse clients go further. My Second Life client, Sharpview, will download 400Mb/s of content, sustained, if you get on a motorcycle and go zooming around Second Life. The content is coming from AWS via Akamai caches, which can deliver content at such rates.
If less bandwidth is available, things are blurry, but it still works. The level of asset detail is such that you can stop driving, go into a convenience store, and read the labels on the items.

GTA 6 multiplayer is coming. That's going to need bandwidth.

The Unreal Engine 5 demo, "The Matrix Awakens", is a download of more than a terabyte. That's before decompression.

The CEO of Intel, during the metaverse boom, said that about 1000x more compute and bandwidth was needed to do a Ready Player One / Matrix quality metaverse. It's not that quite that bad.

> Waymo will get big enough in San Francisco to affect this

SF public transportation is "good enough" that owning a car in SF is already a decision outside of pure transportation needs.

I lived in SoMA for 2+ years without a car using ZipCar occasionally to drive to SouthBay, which was cheaper than the car payment, insurance and the parking fee put together. Plus my commute was to Palo Alto which was neat because every Caltrain out of SF stopped in PA in the mornings, I used the bullets both ways every day.

Bicycles got me and my partner everywhere, faster and more conveniently (including in a bus or BART). We even went by to Napa on the ferry with bikes on it (once the Vine Trail cycle path connects all the way to Vallejo, I want to do it again - for now you can put your bike on a bus from Vallejo, no problem).

The Lyft would be used for the Costco runs or to lug things out of Tech Shop back home, when working on something bulkier.

Then I had a kid + moved to Mission bay which was still great for my Caltrain commute, but the kid changed the way I could just grab an Uber. There was no travelling light anymore.

I struggled to use a cab because we had to drag stroller car-seat everywhere we went with the kid and often even when didn't have the kid, because you'd pick them up on the way back.

The car was bought, even though it was a bad deal financially simply because it offered a fixed set of storage items we always had.

Even getting from location to location, the car was the slower option, it didn't make any sense except to serve as a home base for all things you needed to have with you.
Ha, that made me laugh, thanks for the correction!
I don't know how common it is for the different people who do an elevator pitch, but IIUC most successful standup comedians do this incremental testing and refining of bits very heavily.

One difference I'd call out is that the delivery is different in what's understood as a formal rehearsed performance, than when speaking in informal one-on-one contexts.

IMHO, for informal, it's OK if you use pretty much the same canned explanation each time (especially for an elevator pitch, which is understood as a thing), just don't pretend you're speaking off-the-cuff.

For example, don't pause like you're thinking of the right term or analogy to use. (I've seen Steve Jobs videos where he seems to do this. And I had a colleague who would do it for one key metaphor term, even though they said the same bit about their research to different visitors almost every day.)

If you go to a standup performance or TED talk, you're expecting a heavily-rehearsed performance, with artificial flourishes. But if you're having a one-on-one conversation with someone, you want a bespoke, genuine, engaged, adaptive interaction. Canned bits in that are OK, but don't pretend those bits are fresh.
@jameskuang correction: March 15, 2025 is 140 days from the IPO day. This is before the lockup periods ends and is used to determine the fair market value of the stock that taxes are calculated. If the stock drops dramatically between March 15th and the end of the lockup period, ex-employees could lose money (more cash tax is paid than the value the stock can be sold).
Over twenty million lives are currently in danger because of the USAID shutdown. I agree there are other valid concerns and the administration is also aware that causing as much chaos as possible may force people to choose which problems to prioritize.
I think the alternative is just as chilling in some sense. You don't want to be stuck in a country that outlaws AI (especially from other countries) if that means you will be uncompetitive in the new emerging world.

The future is going to be hard, why would we choose to tie one hand behind our back? There is a difference between being careful and being fearful.

chroot only makes sense for applications which can commit to exclusively operating out of a single directory, ever. (It also requires the process to have superuser privileges, so it can't be used by applications which are run as users.)

os.Root() is more about putting a "seatbelt" on filesystem operations - like restricting operations related to an application's cache to its cache directory, or restricting a file server to serving files from the appropriate shared directory. It's not the same kind of ironclad guarantee as chroot, but it'll still protect an application from simple directory traversals.
What is the total cost for a pcb populated with components? Probably around 60-70 qty 100?

I appreciate the blog post and the writeup, it might be nice to include it in the repo.

I have been toying with a similar design, with many of the same choices. Although for the system controller pair, I'd go with RP2350B and ESP32-C61 (I think). It would be nice if there was an optional chip and pad layout to support legacy or classic BT.

Another option would be to have a USB port and support something like https://www.8bitdo.com/usb-wireless-adapter-2/ to enable legacy controllers.

It looks like supporting legacy BT while noble, could be a project killing sidequest (if you didn't already have it done!) Another out, would be exposing an SPI connection internally so someone could hack in a controller of their choice.
But it is problematic when electrical insulations and personal ID cards start to decompose over the courses of 5-10 years.

> If Google were to pay me $200 if it leaked my data, that would: Be worth much less than my privacy

I think you need to do a lot to justify a non-zero value for this, frankly.

How is your “privacy” worth $200? What data is valuable and what data isn’t? Under what context?

If your privacy is worth $200 per leak (by some definition of leak), you surely take steps to anonymize your data already and wouldn’t use a service like Google (or name your untrustworthy party).

I’m not saying leaks are good but trying to price it in seems fraught.
I read in Supermen (book on Cray) that the test moratorium was a strategic advantage for the US since labs here could simulate nuclear weapons using HPC systems.
Of all the criticisms leveled against GenAI, I'd say making the case against "TTS on-demand" would probably be the weakest.

Having natural sounding TTS enhances accessibility for blind users, enables language localizations, etc. It's 100% a win even though there will be (and already is) disruption in the VA community.
> Have we already reached the physical limits of the amount of data the can be encoded at a particular frequency?

Basically, yes (if you take into account other consideration like radiated power, transmitter consumed power, multipath tolerance, Doppler shift tolerance and so on). Everything is a tradeoff. We could e. g. use higher-order modulation, but that would result in higher peak-to-average power ratio, meaning less efficient transmitter. We could reduce cyclic prefix length, but that would reduce multipath tolerance. And so on.

Another important reason why higher frequencies are preferred is frequency reuse. Longer distance and penetration is not always an advantage for a mobile network. A lot of radio space is wasted in areas where the signal is too weak to be usable but strong enough to interfere with useful signals at the same frequency. In denser areas you want to cram in more base stations, and if the radiation is attenuated quickly with distance, you would need less spectrum space overall.
The difference is that PUA characters are usually rendered in some way that is rather visible, whereas the variation selectors aren’t.
It feels like music players are becoming a thing for old geezers, like everything that requires you to have your data on a local disk. The 'modern' approach is just streaming everything off the net, no local storage required.

You may be right. I'll need to double-check.
The author striked out the part about CedarDB not being available -- which is true -- but Umbra is available as a docker container[1] for some time now. The "Umbra paper" linked also contains an artifact[2] with a copy of Umbra as well as some instructions on how to control the back-ends used etc. (Cranelift is not available as an option in the docker versions however)

I kind of disagree with the assumption that baseline compilers are easy to build (depending on your definition of baseline). A back-end like DirectEmit is not easy to write and even harder to verify. If you have a back-end written for your own IR you will likely have to write tests in that IR and it will probably be quite hard to simply port over codegen (or run-) tests from other compilers. Especially in the context of databases it is not very reassuring if you have a back-end that may explode the second you start to generate code slightly differently.
We're working on making this a bit more commoditized but in our opinion you will always need to do some work since having another IR (with defined semantics someone could write a code generator for you) for a back-end is very expensive. In Umbra, translating Umbra-IR to LLVM-IR takes more time than compiling to machine code with DirectEmit.

Also, if it is easy to write them, I would expect to see more people write them.

Copy-and-patch was also tried in the context of MLIR[3] but the exec-time results were not that convincing and I have been told that it is unlikely for register allocation to work sufficiently well to make a difference.

The reliability is definitely a bigger question, jitter a bit more questionable, but as far as latency goes 5G fixed wireless can be just fine. YMMV, but on a lot of spots around my town it's pretty comparable latency/jitter-wise as my home fiber connection to similar hosts. And connecting home is often <5ms throughout the city.
