I do not believe they were asking for CAMM as replacement for soldered RAM, but as an upgrade for DIMMs in desktop.

CAMM is touted as being better than DIMMs when it comes to signal integrity and possible speed. Soldered of course beat any socket, in-package beats any soldered RAM, and on-die beat any external component.

That AMD Strix Halo is unable to maintain signal integrity for any socketed RAM is a Strix Halo problem, not a socket problem. They probably backed themselves a bit into a corner with other parts of the design sacrifying tolerances on the memory side, and it's a lot easier to push motherboard design requirements than redoing a chip.

If this wasn't a Strix Halo issue, then they would have been able to run with socketed memory with a lower memory clock. All CPUs, this one included, has variable memory clocks that could be utilized and perform memory training as even the PCB traces to the chip cause significant signal degradation.
For the Varnish integration I added permission-based access to local files. Network stuff can be accessed through custom APIs. A simple fetch(url, options)-like system call. Just have a look at the VMOD repository. It's something I'd like to move into TinyKVM when I feel like it.
> they're all still politicians when they run

Trump in 2016 was able to use his lack of political history as a selling point; with no history of service in office, he'd had no scandals in office. Clinton's long political career worked against her in public perception.

I personally believe that there's some benefit to political expertise and demonstrated history of good choices and good leadership; the American electorate doesn't seem to value these things when they reject a career politician for someone with no track record in the highest elected office... And then reelect him in similar circumstances.

> It's depressing

We're in the second term of President Trump with a Congress that has carried a sub-30% approval rate for decades. I'm not going to be able to offer many optimistic observations about America's Federal elected offices... Or the people who elect them. It is entirely possible the American Experiment ends in this generation with the conclusion that Americans had a good thing going until they lost the tools to successfully self-govern.

I would welcome counter-evidence that didn't fail the conspiracy theory test.
Them be some deep theological waters you're wading into.

It's not a tenet, because it's not presented as a teaching that "bad things are good things".

However, we often label things as "good" and "bad," which are overly simplistic for many things in life. A child dying is unequivocally a bad thing. But if your faith deepens through the course of grieving, then a good thing happens from that bad thing. It doesn't nullify the bad thing. It doesn't magically transform it into a good thing. But your faith being made stronger is a good thing, while your child dying is a bad thing.

My understanding is this is the Biblical principle of redemption. Not to be confused with salvation. It's used to refer to God's ability to make good happen from a bad thing, or to "redeem" a bad thing. In this way, redemption can also refer to salvation because man is inherently bad, but through Jesus's death on the cross, man can be redeemed. Once again, bad things happen, but good things can come from them.

Again, it's important to note that the Bible does not teach BAD == GOOD. It teaches that bad things can be redeemed for good outcomes.

I am not a theologian, but that's my understanding of it.
Four Tesla cars set on fire in Berlin arson attacks
Not Peter but yes. The U.S. is pretty easy to incorporate in from overseas, many agents offer the service, such as Stripe Atlas and Firstbase. Keep in mind, the U.S. tax system is much more complicated than most other nations so unless you specifically need a U.S. entity, pick a country with friendlier tax laws.
It's all about money, isn't it?
I wonder if that opens a threat vector from a security point of view? If an attacker knows that the golden firmware has some critical vulnerability which they can exploit easily, they can activate it at will by bricking the device and waiting for it to restart.
Yeah but why would anyone actually buy that then?
It's not guaranteed but likely yes; we've done H-1Bs (without having to go through the lottery again) for foreign nationals who haven't been in H-1B status for nearly 10 years.
The first, true and only philosophy for the working class, the exploited, the proletarians and the dispossessed is marxism. Teaching "stoicism" to people who barely can afford food, to slaves in the Congo, to overworked uber eats cyclists that work 12 hours a day for pennies, is not only ridiculous, it's criminal.

Standing silent or content in the face of exploitation, injustice and the threat of destruction of humanity is indeed an ethics that benefit the rich and powerful. "Be content, stay quiet, dont make noise, dont revolt, dont organize, accept your place in the universe.".

Marx was the first philosopher that recognized that philosophy is a product of material conditions, and that it servers the interests of the economic system that contains it. That's why marxism would have been impossible in ancient greece and there was never a greek philosopher that advocated revolution or seizing political power.

Butterfly-inspired 4D printing of smart hydrogels enables precise deformation
Thats patently false. Some people do control other people, some people do control whole societies. What stoicism does is: for the underclass, it tells them to accept such control. Lying that "you have no control" over working conditions, exploitation, misery, hunger, suffering, etc. Do nothing, because nothing you do will matter.

And for the capitalists upper class what it does is to validate the atroicities they commit: "the universe is an eternal good entity, everything happens for a reason. Sixty thousand children killed in Gaza? Its just the universe changing colors, changing quantity, some people turned from alive to unalive, but in the grand scheme of things it doesnt matter. You are just doing your role".
> Overall, this approach was more reliable, because there were no risks of exceeding the memory limits, but it was much more tedious for the programmer, because the worst cases for memory usage had to be accurately predicted.

Well, most importantly, it fixated the program's limits. Got a bigger machine and wanted to tackle greater data-sets? You're out of luck, if you didn't have the source code. Old Unix programs were often like that. It were the GNU counterparts which often did away with such arbitrary limits allowing systems to grow and the software to stay relevant.

>international sanctions

And by that you mean sanctions imposed by the US, the EU and some of their allies. I don't think that 15% of the world population living in these countries warrant calling the sanctions "international" as if they are in some way legitimate.
> I think that Cybertrucks could be the nail in the coffin for even the most MAGA brainwashed Elon fan, once they drive it

I have a friend who owns a Cybertruck, and he let me give it a try. There are many, many, many legitimate and damning criticisms of Cybertruck, Tesla, and Musk, but the Cybertruck driving experience (on pavement) is not one of them. It is crazy fast, and surprisingly nimble with its 4-wheel drive-by-wire steering. It is dangerous and stupid, but it isn't boring.

Speaking as a lifelong driving enthusiast, I would never buy one, but I'm glad I got to try one.
They're great for trainers. Short hops with immediate control, low maintenance and operating cost, and you can save the magneto/ignition/etc workload for a different lesson series.
This is a very interesting comment for me. I really dislike your virtues but agree with everything else and your general dislike of stoicism.

I think there might be a more middle way which doesn’t include impertinence, for example, as a value but still celebrates screaming as your plane is falling from the sky.

The reason I dislike your values is because at face value they imply a disregard for others. I think there is a way to deeply value both yourself and others. It’s possible you don’t imply that disregard for others that I get from the values you listed though.
Hi Peter, thanks for doing this AMA!

I’m a cofounder of a startup in the US. Two of us are here on green cards, but our third cofounder is based in Switzerland. He has a PhD from a top university, previously founded a company, and has raised over $30M in the past.

At what stage would it be possible for us to bring him to the US on a visa? Would it be:

- As soon as we incorporate a C Corp?

- After raising funding?

- Once we have revenue?

Are there any specific visa pathways (O-1, L-1, E-2, etc.) that would be most relevant for him, given his background?

Appreciate any guidance on this!
They could, and that's been a way for attackers to "jailbreak" devices and load custom firmware in the past. Though for the sake of reducing eWaste and enabling device repurposing and reuse, I do think this is the best path for firmware-updatable devices.
>That point has practical issues, because most consumer electronic customers are technically dumb.

It's a speaker that worked fine until Samsung unilaterally broke it. I don't think the customers are the dumb ones here.

I'm curious about LLMs for the legal system that can reference the law and help to guide individuals on the process they need to navigate. How much of Immigration Law do you think can be navigated independently by people? Obviously, unauthorized practices of the law would be illegal *but if it was permissible*, how critical are lawyers in Immigration Law when people are cheap and want to DIY?

Yes - Dr Norvig is exactly the type of expert I would often engage to figure out difficult problems. Ask him how to configure a Nomad cluster and he would likely say "What is a Nomad cluster do?"

Writing and debugging production code is a different skill set. Finding the optimal algorithm is useful but not the same as releasing it into the wild which may require maintaining backwards compatibility, work arounds for bugs in other code or hardware bugs that can no longer be fixed at the foundry - the list goes on.

The vast majority of work programmers do 10X or otherwise is not greenfield where you get to pick the programming language you have 10K hours of experience using, the best hardware or an unlimited budget of money and time.

Now I would consider Dr Norvig a 10X educator. That program demonstrates how a decent knowledge of algorithms and math can take a relatively complex problem and make it tractable.

Batteries have won this so hard (if you ignore CNG busses, which have existed forever and are "almost as good as hydrogen could be") - because even when they hadn't won it, you just needed more busses.

Is it nice if the bus can do a driver's entire shift without a recharge? Sure! But if it can't, you just design the route so that the driver can switch busses and buy another bus. That means the technology problem is now a money problem.

Busses are also already quite heavy, so battery weight doesn't affect them as much as it might in a small car.

I think a gap between wikipedia and a polemic by somebody clearly fired up about a topic is not just reasonable, but productive. Wikipedia, by nature, gives the sense that all philosophical viewpoints are equally dispassionate and it minimizes the degree to which reasonable people can substantially disagree about the rightness or wrongness of various worldviews. That usually gets dumped in the Controversy section. This is fine for an encyclopedia, but not for a debate.

Of course, I also think that OP is being polemical and that means they're not interested in being charitable. I think their criticisms are interesting, but the original post linked here does a far better job at balancing a charitable read of stoicism with a critique of why it is appealing to the rich and powerful.

> My personal understanding of stoicism is focus on changing the things I can change, and not spend my time being miserable about things I'm powerless to change.

This is the overriding principle I've come away with as well, and it has felt to me like one of the most simple and wise things I've heard.
Could you expand on this? How are they night and day?
You're assuming that in most cases when people shout, they're being excessive.

I don't think that's true, at least "per capita". Maybe most shouting is done by the emotionally unstable, but most people arent emotionally unstable (as adults).

If an adult were shouting at me, I'd be greatful of it. I was slapped once, and I said thank you to the person who slapped me -- it told me I was being careless.

For people who arent evilly trying to manipulate you, like customer service -- expressing how you feel helps others know how you feel. I am, in many cases, grateful to know.

If I saw someone getting angry at a person in the customer-service-way, my instinct as an adult with life experience, is to treat that anger as symptomatic -- not evil. This is the danger in saying you shouldnt get angy: blaming the victim.

> Yikes dude

I wasnt endorsing that, I was saying, that's less healthy than just being angry.
My favorite use case for S3 API-compatible solutions: I often run into systems that generate lots of arbitrary data that only have temporary importance. A common example might be intermediate build artifacts, or testing ephemera (browser screenshots, etc). Things that are needed for X number of months and then just need to disappear.

Yeah, we can dump those to a filesystem. But then we have to ask which filesystem? What should the directory layout be? If there are millions or billions of objects, walking the whole tree gets expensive. Do we write a script to clean everything up? Run it via cron or some other job runner?

With S3, you just write your artifact to S3 with a TTL and it gets deleted automagically when it should. No cron jobs, no walking the whole tree. And you can set up other lifecycle options if you need it moved to other (cheaper) storage later on, backups, versioning, and whatever else.

For on-prem, you have Minio, Garage, or SeaweedFS. These are pretty nice to deploy the servers however you need for the level of reliability/durability you require.
As long as it gets the logic right I don't care. You probably also don't calculate the bitmasks for sprites in your head and have the full maze design in your head. So as long as you have the working logic you can supply it with the map layout and sprites. But yeah LLM capability is overhyped.

I have a similar experience with my high-end Samsung TV from 2013. The TV itself still works perfectly so I'm not replacing it soon (still 1080p, not 4K, but...), but over time, Samsung has steadily removed key features with each update. When I first bought it, it supported Skype video calls (and now the integrated webcam can't be used at all), IPTV streaming, and various third-party apps — all of which are now gone.

Never could get used to the term 'derivative' in that context. Everything's derivative. Hard to know what word to use instead, but I just wouldn't attach an adjective in the first place and just skip past it. For instance, I don't call a particular reality show derivative, I'm just not really going to be interested in the first place, odds are.
Their hardware is technically great. It is the software that sucks.

I have a file server with ~80tb of hard drives attached to it + 4tb of flash. It's kind of incredible. The first 4 drives were 6tb enterprise drives that cost $250 each (new). The most recent two are 14tb drives that I picked up for about $100 each (used). They're still going through their burn-in period before one gets data and the other becomes my new parity drive (unraid).

Pretty sure he was explicitly brought on by Gates and Allen because he was a non-technical MBA type, and Microsoft had grown to the point where they needed one of those.

Sort of tracks with the Welchian bullshit he seems to have supported as CEO.
Software is different.

Software is ultimately limited to building things in a space that is only countably infinite. There is only so much junk you can hide in a space that is only countably infinite.

All other engineering disciplines by comparison deal in a space that is uncountably infinite and you can hide _anything_ in such a space without it being obvious. This is exemplified by the unpleasant discovery all of us have had of a supposedly measurable "collection" of intervals having such weird holes all over the real number line and the near impossibility of shifting it up or down that makes sense for it without having to rethink our whole notion of measure and still end up with something like the counting measure that definitely doesn't make sense.

People, including myself, have a seriously bad intuition just how much volume there is in an uncountably infinite space.
Good luck. I fear it will be a waste of time and resources.

I don’t know that this idea would work for literally just Firefox, but I strongly believe that people would be willing to pay for a Firefox fork that has a laser focus on fit and finish and poweruser features. Think a “Firefox Pro” of sorts.

Why do I think this? Three reasons:

- It elevates the browser into a higher category of tool, where currently Firefox inhabits the same space as OS-bundled calculators and text editors, making it being paid more justifiable in peoples’ minds.

- Firefox has long had issues with rough edges and papercuts, which I believe frustrates users more than Mozilla probably realizes.

- Much of Firefox’s original claim to fame came from its highly flexible, power user friendly nature which was abandoned in favor of chasing mass appeal.
