Arm9, “The CPU Architecture for the Future of AI”

Right but just think of all the shareholder value it provides! OK, mostly not real shareholder value, but the potential!

Clickbait headline. The tool is https://deflock.org/

God… after the 3 day weekend last weekend this is exactly what I thought.

Did you miss the “Yet their profits and power look about as secure as ever” bit?

yeah, that website is a treasure trove of amazing interactive mechanical demos.

This is definitely not new. Folks I worked with in SF went to parties where there were tech-knowledable escorts back around ~2010.

If they have a solid product and do not want to make “energy drinks and lunchables”, the best financial move would be to optimize it. Find ways to make it smaller, lighter, and most importantly, reduce costs.

But if I were in charge, I’d seriously think about trying to eat DJI’s drone lunch now that there are FAA rules around foreign drone companies. GoPro is headquartered in San Mateo. Drone design is well known enough that there aren’t any hard problems in the way of introducing a decent DJI mini replacement. There may be patents or other non-technical stuff in the way though. But if they could get in on that, it could be immensely lucrative, especially if they can get government contracts.

Right, and I’m not saying that playing video games is bad. I’m saying that addiction is bad, and that AI can be addictive, and can distort your sense of value so you think something is good for you when actually it is bad.

Fun, joy, and pleasure are indeed things we should be chasing in life. A lot of us lose sight of that while working on our careers.

I use many of these tools, but I didn’t need them. I can’t afford to maintain any of them

That’s it. He doesn’t need them. But in order to maintain them, he’ll use up even more of his time, and probably spend a lot more on AI to do the maintenance for him. In the end, what is the cost, and what is he getting out of it?

I think for a lot of people, AI is like so many addictive video games. They take our attention and make us feel like we’re getting something out of the interaction. Each prompt is like doing a run in Sling Kong or Jetpack Joyride. Didn’t go well? Try again. And in the end we’ve wasted a lot of time on something that has little to no value, that nobody else is going to use, and the net result is a lot of wasted time with very little to show for it. We have a high score, we have some collectibles, and we’re no better off than we were when we started.

I think one answer to this is more focus on the problem, and less velocity. Velocity is not helpful if you’re not pointed in the right direction, and even if you are pointed in the right direction it’s not useful if you overshoot your destination.

That is surprisingly literally true.

As they say, “no rest for the wicked.”

Not really. I actually got rid of my Amazon Fire Stick because it didn’t work offline, but Plex did. I discovered this because my TV automatically showed the Plex shares as browsable media sources, which were being broadcast over DLNA.

I mean… yeah. OpenAI is a California software company and it’s the biggest lobbying force behind the age verification bills.

“CEO said a thing” reporting is exhausting.

The article mentions that the build cache and the runtime cache were different in the past, but now are the same. I wonder if they are talking about the buildx cache, which is not the same as the build cache.

It works so much better when you use all the zeroes. Makes it easier to compare.

• 290,000,000,000 dollar net worth
• 10,000,000 dollar penthouse
• 120,000,000 dollar met gala
• 500,000,000 dollar yacht
• 600,000 workers

With his net worth, he could give every one of those workers $100,000 and still have ~80% of his net worth.

Oh no! How did this happen? …I mean, how exactly did this happen? Is there a tutorial on how other engineers at other companies can replicate this?
