Part of my work is rapid prototyping of new products and technology to test out new ideas. I have a small team of really great generalists. 2 people have left over the last year and I didn't replace them because the existing team + chatGPT can easily take up the slack. So that's 2 people that didn't get hired that would have done without chatGPT.


It's alright. I played a couple of games. It's very pretty. I don't like the age system, just seems like throwing away your progress each time it resets. 4>5>6>7


Just like gimp is replacing photoshop.


I keep trying to use these things but I always end up back in vim (in which I don't have any ai autocomplete set up.)

The AI is fine, but every time it makes a little mistake that I have to correct it really breaks my flow. I might type a lot more boilerplate without it but I get better flow and overall that saves me time with less mistakes.


You're not allowed to like apple, this is hackernews. Didn't you read the rules?


There's some interesting cliques in various subreddits and Hacker News, and it's always entertaining to see these groups get riled up when I defend their favourite boogieman.

My favourite is the small army of ex-Twitter employees frequenting HN who have a visceral hatred for Elon Musk and will rabidly hound anyone that says something even vaguely positive about anything he's ever touched.

There ware some entertaining foaming-at-the-mouth rants about how SpaceX is destroying wildlife with tap water.


Elon musk? Isn't he the guy that accuses of paedophilia anyone who dares disagree with him? Yeah I think he's an outstanding guy. Can't understand why anyone would dislike him really.


I know a lot of console fanatics like that and they all like to keep games on disc, shunning digital. The new ps doesn't seem to have an optical drive so I'm really not sure who they're aiming this at.


It does have an optical drive but it is sold separately


I work at google and I use google products. Sure, some giant automated heap of code is processing your data and deciding how many grammerly adverts to show you, but your data is about as safe as it can be from loss or from humans. There are so many controls and checks in place when working with user data it's difficult to get things done some times (and quite rightly too).


How do we explain the deletion of the $135 billion Australian pension fund data that happened to UniSuper?

Due to "an inadvertent misconfiguration of the GCVE service by Google operators due to leaving a parameter blank"?

It seems that they explained things fairly clearly in your link? What kind of answer are you fishing for?


I'm responding to makerofthings' comment that data is about as safe as it can be, because there are so many controls and checks in place. If there were many controls and checks in place, would data loss of such a high profile customer occur?


Note that the data loss occurred at least partly because the customer was provided with very much pre-beta offering that essentially didn't have all of the control plane done yet.

That's honestly a very hard issue to track because such legacy setups often can slip by later tooling, in this case the part where it was set to "auto expire" after certain time, but instead it became a production environment.


Sounds like gpu to me.


The Xeon Phi was a “manycore” x86 design with lots of tiny CPU cores, something like the original Pentium, but with the addition of 512-bit SIMD and hyperthreading:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeon_Phi


IIRC the first Phi has SMT4 in a round robin fashion similar to the Cell PPUs. To make a core run at full speed, you should schedule 4 threads on it.


The very, very first Phi still had its ROPs and texture units, being essentially a failed GPU with identifying marks filed off (yes, the first units were Larrabee prototypes with video outputs unpopulated)


> the first units were Larrabee prototypes with video outputs unpopulated

Such a shame. I'd love to base a workstation on those.

Seems to be a hobby I never quite act upon - to misuse silicon and make it work as a workstation.


GPUs are actually SMT'd to the extreme. For example, Intel's Xe-HPG has 8-wide SMT. Other vendors have even bigger SMT: RDNA2 can have up to 16 threads in flight per core.


I did https://learnyouahaskell.com and then https://adventofcode.com . I've been learning Haskell for about 6 years now and I sort of get it.


How many IBM Technical Support workers does it take to change a lightbulb? None, we have an identical model here and ours is working fine.
