Those are scribe lines where you usually would cut out chips which is why it resembles multiple chips. However, they work with TSMC to etch across them.
It's real and I've been telling all the people around me who get vested in this sort of exponential growth, to be very wary of the impeding burnout, which spares no soul hungry to get high on information. getting high on information is now a thing, it is not cyberpunk fiction anymore, and burnout is a real threat - VR or not. perhaps one can burn out on tiktok these days.
As much as I used to love Sublime, the version switching caught me out which burned me a bit, even if admittedly my v2 key lasted an unreasonable time through the version 3 beta, but I don't want to risk buying a v4 key without a clear roadmap of when they might switch to version 5.
I can definitely vouch for this! I've been using it for many years and it's been essentially the same the whole time: fast, lean and working on all operating systems.
> it intensifies work, and shortens time to burnout
This is most likely correct. Everyone talks how AI makes it possible to "do multiple tasks at the same time", but noone seems to care that the cognitive (over)load is very real.
IME you don't even have to do multiple things at the same time to reach that cognitive fatigue. The pace alone, which is now much higher, could be enough to saturate your cognitive capabilities.
For me one unexpected factor is how much it strains my executive function to try and maintain attention on the task at hand while I’m letting the agent spin away for 5-10 minutes at a stretch. It’s even worse than the bad old days of long compile times because at least then I could work on tests or something like that while I wait. But with coding agents I feel like I need to be completely hands off because they might decide to touch literally any file in the repository.
It reminds me a bit of how à while back people were finding that operating a level 3 autonomous vehicle is actually more fatiguing than driving a vehicle that doesn’t even have cruise control.

this is huge insight and very philosophical in relation to the question of "which skills shall we retain still, and is this a general threat (perhaps not) to majority of traditional skills?"
For me it's the volume of things that I am now capable of doing in so much shorter amount of time - this leaves almost no space for resting but incurs much more strain on my cognitive limits.
If I’m writing tests and implementation for the same problem, there isn’t so much context switch. Same business domain, same domain model, same API, same contract and invariants. I’m just switching between taking the measurements and making the cuts. Which is a smart thing to do anyway because you can accumulate a lot of need for rework very quickly if you make a bunch of cuts in a row without stopping to confirm you’re making them correctly.
well smart oldies have learned to discern among skills that need focusing on and retaining and those that dont. perhaps with live we learn to navigate information better, given also constraints imposed by (with time) failing organs. so i guess the whole thing about a grownup is really that they be better strategists, and executives than children. everything else pretty much overlaps unreasonably often.
but I cannot hold authors that I've never met accountable, and it is not a job, when you do it in your blog. it is utter nonsense to call writing personal notes in public a job. it is as much a job (and bears similiar responsibility) as is the opensource work, and we've had hundreds of discussions reg. how the author should not be responsible for shortcomings of his public work, when it is done without contract or other formal agreement to do it (even for free).
work != job
so really, what are you talking about? I'm discussing the means to expound on given knowledge - limited, or oversaturated - and you are changing the topic to "is the author responsible for work done in his spare time".
It’s early February. Have you really read so many articles you couldn’t understand in one month that you have a “usual” way of dealing with it? You should consider whether you would benefit from curating your sources better, or if use of AI as a crutch has already decayed your ability to understand stuff on your own unrecoverably…
try curating the hacker news commentary when there are 800+ texts. no, really, what the hell are you talking about? having someone figure the insights that are relevant to oneself, among 800 texts, DOES solve a problem, which otherwise is unsolved unless you do it manually. which, the manual thing, as we all know, does not necessarily result in significantly better insights.
and yes, my job is to read technical slop dusk till dawn, and I care very little who wrote it, but whether it is relevant to my research. its a lot of reading, it causes me pain, so OF COURSE I would love to short cut it somehow, given most of it is slop anyway - no matter if its human or synthetic slop.
Because it's probably extremely profitable, unfortunately. I have seen many of my coworkers click on the headlines and ads on the MSN homepage when bored at work.
I resonate strongly with this story. I’ve seen three people teams get in one month where SAP could not in year, and also let and witnessed incredible number of total fakers in SaaS enterprises.
Big corpo may be too big to fail, not so sure about their whole cohort of partners and fakers.
