>Make way for the 64-bit 128-core 1024gb RAM 8cm^2 SoC

This is already happening?

Intel Xeon Knights Landing already has an enormous 6.83cm^2 die size. It has 72 "cores," each of which has a 512-bit vector processor. In some sense, you could say that this chip has 9,216 "single precision cores." It also supports up to 384GB DDR4 RAM, which is not far from your 1024GB.

The term "core" is becoming vague, as NVIDIA refers to thousands of "CUDA cores" on its GPUs which are really vector processor elements.

China's Sunway SW26010 is also kind of a "SoC," 260 "cores" communicating via a Network-on-Chip interconnect. I think one could say that the Cell Broadband Engine processor had a similar design.

> make it practical and economical to make larger chips

I do wonder if die sizes can increase.

I'm not a hardware engineer, but my understanding is that latency is the main barrier to larger chips. The time it takes for a signal to propagate across a chip limits the clock frequency. One possibility is to replace the global synchronous clock design with an asynchronous chip design. However, from what I understand, this would make things worse because some form of synchronization is always needed - you could send back an "acknolwedge" message, but that would double the signal traffic.

On the other hand, supercomputers are regularly built with multi-socket systems and interconnects like QPI and PCIe between processors and nodes. It would seem logical to put multiple processors their interconnects on a single "SoC" and I don't know why that doesn't happen. Maybe it is because of error rates, as you say.

It's a lot more practical to put several dies insides one package, which is already happening (for example, the largest FPGAs from Xilinx have 4 dies in a single package).
Intra-package communication is not quite as good as intra-die communication (from a performance and energy point of view), but it's a lot better than inter-package communication, and several small dies have a higher yield than one large die.
> if what I share has a global owner (ie. the GC), I don't have to lock or copy by definition

Then how you do avoid data races? Two shared references which can mutate your shared data requires either a copy, a lock, immutability, or a single writer.
I kind of zoned out in this article. What exactly is the point?

The author seems to be upset about a bunch of low-signal articles that claim that young people don't want to have sex anymore. So she writes an even lower signal rant about it.
There are plenty of web based scientific apps. Genome browsers for example. Why would you have those in a separate process, when its essentially a crud app?
IMHO it's because you learn your first language spoken first, written after -- and most people learn further languages after they learned writing, so they can learn to differentiate between words that sound similar/same.
"Bitwise" is really shorthand for "this is an operation that acts on the representation of a number in base-2, rather than on the number itself", so it's no surprise that it doesn't translate well to base 10. The reason why that formula is so gnarly is that it does three things in one go:

- convert x and y from decimal to binary

- calculate x AND y at each digit (by using the property that x AND y is isomorphic to multiplication mod 2)

- convert back to decimal.

Instead of trying to understand bitwise AND in this way, we could try building the equivalent operation in base 10, and see where that leads us. One simple way of achieving this is by simply saying that x AND Y is digit-wise MIN, and x OR y is digit-wise MAX.

Note how, under that interpretation, this works in both binary and decimal (or hex, or octal, or whatever other base you want:

101 AND 110 = 100

101 OR 110 = 111

Or using digits not available in binary:

124 AND 310 = 110

124 OR 310 = 324

Again, this works independently of whether you're using octal, decimal, hex, or something else >= 5.

Consider that above the tunnel there are the Alps.

What else should a society, that has almost everything, invest in? It's not like they are neglecting anything for it, they literally sit on gold.
On a similar note: last week i observed a group of seagulls relentlessly attacking a phantom quadcopter that was flying over their territory. The quad clearly wasn't trying to eat their offspring so it could be that the whales are just asserting their territorial rights..
Currently, the submission does not match the article title: "The next stack in Amazon’s journey and what it means for you"
The trajectory is flatter with the new tunnel and freight trains can be longer and carry more weight. This is one of the elements in trying to shift more freight from the street to the trains (which is one of the two points of the Alpen-Initiative, a popular initiative from 1994 to protect the Alpine Environment).
Hm, what about HiPE and ability to natively compile Erlang modules? That's pretty solid technology by now (I think?) and it promised some good results last time I checked. Honestly asking - I did quite a few things with Erlang and a little less with Elixir, but never even tried to use them for raw speed, instead delegating number crunching to other processes via ports.
100% agree.

There's nothing wrong with informing people that you can subscribe! A small Call To Action at the end of every post (Do you like this post? Help support us and get future content directly to your inbox by subscribing) would already do wonders! And having "Subscribe" in the sidebar. (If anyone from LWN is reading: use those words verbatim if you wish)

There's no shame in this being a paid publication. Considering the anti-advertising demographic, many would be glad to help support an ad-free system.
I've never been inclined to subscribe to LWN, even though I read about an article a month when it's posted to HN. Looking through the frontpage, I see:

* 6 x LWN.net Weekly Edition for $DATE

* A few weekly security advisories

* "Some news from LWN"

* Statistics from the 4.7 development cycle

* New software releases

None of these interest me. Here's what does:

* Klitzke: Why Uber Engineering Switched from Postgres to MySQL

* Python's os.urandom() in the absence of entropy

* One-time passwords and GnuPG with Nitrokey

There are a few articles I like there. But they aren't discoverable and I can't find what I want without working to filter the noise.

Contrast this with hackaday.com, where every article is a really interesting feature, there's no news on bugfix releases or kernel changelogs, and they mix feature news, cool stuff in the store, and community projects.

I meant the packages of the stdlib, not community-made packages. A great example is the things I learned about the IO module and how it plays with the other modules in the stdlib for Crystal that I could easily see a similarity in behavior and methods in the Go implementation, but not being able to fully understand before I had a go with Crystal.

The way they interact with different types, fibers and allocation on the stack vs heap, etc. Makes sense?

Edit: To give you an example of how friendly the Crystal lang & API documentation is to developers unfamilliar with the language, let's look at the Iterator: https://crystal-lang.org/api/0.18.7/Iterator.html

It comes with a great "introduction" to what it is, what it does and gives an example of the advantages it has over the Enumerable. It also explains how you can implement your own Iterator.

We can also look at the IO module for Crystal and the io package for Go:
https://crystal-lang.org/api/0.18.7/IO.html
https://golang.org/pkg/io/

From a beginners standpoint, you have to see that the Crystal documentation is way more friendlier.
This is a debate I'd like to insert a thought into.

I'll rephrase both your sentences.
"Comcast is the company that seems like the entity that one would provide an example of how with sufficient connections and power (monetary) one can exploit any loopholes provided in a governing framework."

I do not see this is a partisan or philosophical debate. Comcast doesn't care what govt is in power, +/- some ease of operation, I believe we'll see the same modus operandi. If we leave a hole through insufficient regulation, they'll abuse it. If we leave a hole through to MUCH regulation, they'll abuse it. Here's where I start spewing generic quotes about "who watches the watchmen" and drawing parallels between the almost unwinnable battle of security devs vs. hackers (and at least in the tech world in a lot of instances we have provable math on our side, politics/philosophy doesn't even have that much to be confident in.)

At the risk of deflating any utility of my comment, I can't answer the implied question of "so what" but the correct answer to me is not believing one idiology is somehow immune to what I see as a very side-channel behavior. A focus on how to combat _that_ can be far more productive than more divisive partisanship; and at the additional risk of sounding like a tin foil hatter, "the more we fight among ourselves the more they're SURE to win."

It's somewhat similar, but in Crystal you need to be explicit with types, and you'll likely miss 'send'.

Hmmm... this is good but presumably react components are actually going to do things. But I suppose you're saying that the code that actually does things should be separated from the react code and should be tested separately from the react components.
Nit pick...

Banks create the money when they create the loan. Assume the simple case where the buyer of the house has an account at the same bank as the seller. The bank puts an credit on its books for the loan and a debit on its books for the sellers account.

The money in the sellers account is newly created money. They didn't have to ring up the Federal Reserve or get permission. They got the permission when they got their banking license.

Let's assume the buyer now wants to move that money to another bank. He transfers his deposit from bank A to bank B. Bank B now has excess funds on its books and deposits it at the central bank. Bank A now has a deficit and goes to the central bank for a loan. The central bank loans money on deposit from Bank B to Bank A and everything balances.

Now let's say he wants to convert it to cash. He goes to Bank B and withdraws his deposit in cash. Bank B then goes to the central bank and requests the funds. The central bank then gives a loan to the central government for the amount of cash that it needs. Then it takes that loan to the central government which issues cash in the value of the loan. Bank B then exchanges its deposit at the central bank for cash and gives it to the customer. The central bank now has a deposit from the central government in the amount of the loan from Bank A and so everything, again, balances.

The only restriction that banks have on creating money these days is the ratio of equity against the entire size of their balance sheet.

Similar, but different requirements. All of the messages were grouped by sending process, and when the sending process said its session was over its messages were fed into a post-processing queue. There was support for holding messages in memory or on disk, and data-preserving fallbacks if the post-processing halted or got too backed up. The message rate varied quite a bit; during the US business day the rate was at least doubled. We used that to give the post-processing queue time to catch up off-hours.

This was designed about 16 years ago, so well before the big-data tools, ssds, or powerful machines we have today.

I've heard this said numerous times, so I'm going to disagree on the record. I think syntax of a programming language is a very important characteristic.

A language with a nice syntax is easier to learn, easier to read and understand, and delightful to write.

Crystal's syntax is a great differentiator between it and its statically typed, garbage-collecting competition.
What I most love about it though is that they've found a bunch of buried walls, which lets face it, Britain isn't exactly short of, what with half of the Roman empire being buried... or still visible... across most of the country; and they immediately know it was King Arthur's palace and the piece of clay pot they found was for distributing food at banquets. What if this was the bar from that other famous myth, the one in separate but adjoining buildings in the town that disappeared one night ne'er to be seen again, where Steve the Blacksmith got drunk that night he caught his wife making out with John the Lesser (who she said was much more than his name suggested) and threw that pot across the room smashing it on the wall in a jealous fit of rage before he got wrestled to the ground by the sweaty un-credited barbarian who was staying across the road with Jeff the Cobbler and was thrown out in the torrential downpour that caused the landslide which buried the town... I mean, shit happens.

What I fail to understand is how they reach their conclusions without any real evidence and the media jumps all over it with language proclaiming certainty that this was King Arthur's birth place... a king that while we'd all love to believe in him because he is as much a part of our British heritage as Robin Hood and James Bond largely appears to be a fabrication of our own yearning for a more noble ancestry than we have evidence to support.

What's up with that?

Many of the old listed homes are in fact wood frames. My wife's parents have a home with parts built in the 1400's! Extensions were added on over the years (and they were able to add on their own tasteful extension) but the wood supports and frame are obvious as they show. And they're beautiful, massive pieces of wood that have supported the structure for hundreds of years and will for hundreds more.

However, it would be impractical to use those techniques today.

I worked with an embedded phone OS once where the entire realtime OS ran as a single task in an L4 microkernel.

This was to allow the realtime OS to run in a demand paged environment: if the OS accessed an address from the area defined as 'rom', L4 would allocate a page of RAM and populate it from flash.

The whole purpose of this was solely to allow them to use a cheap NAND flash chip rather than a NOR flash chip (NOR flash can be memory mapped, NAND can't). That was the only thing they used L4 for. Everything else operating-system-wise was done by the embedded OS, device drivers and all.

Surprisingly, it actually worked. (The rest of the OS was a horrible trainwreck, but not this bit.)

There are 2 versions of culture:

1) The "culture" that management and recruiters talk about
2) The way that @cauterized talks about, which includes all the subtle and not-so-subtle ways that people work and interact in the company

1 is complete bullshit. It's the equivalent of (unironic) motivational posters, and is just a series of buzzwords for PR.

2 is very real, but it's not something you can easily see from the outside, and it's not something you'll ever get an honest answer on in an interview. The best way is to have a friend in the company that will tell you exactly how things work.
It has been interesting to watch US sex culture evolve the past several decades. Widely taboo in the 50s and before, partially romanticized in the 60s and 70s, more censorious in the 80s, then celebrated and promoted in the mid-90s through to today.

I'm glad that sex and sexuality are no longer as repressed. I think, though, that the pendulum now may have swung too far toward near cultural obsession and proactive promotion in recent years.

I'll be glad if we settle in a spot where sex is just a thing-- an experience with many variations just as with most of life. Neither censored nor overexposed. No real fuss, no real shock value, no special forbiddenness or "cool" factor. It feels like we're getting closer to that, which seems healthy.

Well, that is not jet clear. Either are not bad situations and don't make the investment bad.
Regarding your second paragraph, awareness amongst the US population should be risen about that. For the past 3 or so years Russia has been getting more and more nervous about the US defence shield. Its argument is that the US can use it for offence missiles which could be used to strike and neutralise its nuclear potential.

Instead of addressing the issue, the US has been playing dumb by claiming that "don't worry mate, this is against Iran not Russia!"

Now, Russia plays its own geopolitical game too, of course. And you might believe that the US defence shield poses no danger to Russia. But you have to ask yourself, what does Russia believe? Because if Russia really believes the US is making moves to neutralise its nuclear threat, it's just a matter of time until it strikes, because like you said the alternative is to be wiped out from the world stage. Don't corner a rat. Very very concerning.

And this has been some ten years in the making, since the US withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty (which the US argued at the name was so that it could build its missile defence system). This does not seem conducting of stability in the world.

Not just Hussein but the entire Arab Spring. Heck, the US is still trying to topple Assad although it's blindingly obvious that doing so will only strengthen ISIS in Syria.

The problem with US foreign politics is that in the face of it they seem entirely ignorant of how their actions appear to the rest of the world (and what it might mean to their interests and how they would react to that).

EDIT: To clarify, I'm not saying the US was responsible for the entire Arab spring, but the Arab Spring and the mess it caused (when the initial euphoria had ended) are part of the fallout from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

>In summary, the value of a consumer's unused computer has more to do with their electricity rate than their hardware.

I don't see how the calculations support that.

For example if we use your worse case scenarios of an entity (such as Suchflex) that had its own datacenter in a 20 cent kwh region and the crowdsourced homecomputers in a 9 cent kwh region, that's a difference of 11 cents.

If we round up the energy usage to 600 watts (pc + GPU), that 11 cents is an annual difference of ~$578. However, for Suchflex to even run computations at all on their own hardware -- whether its 20 or 9 cents -- they have to spend capex of ~$1500 of motherboard+cpu+gpu. That's the $1500 the homeowner already spent for his own purposes. Therefore, Suchflex can redirect $1500 to pay commissions/awards/etc towards pure computations instead of buying their own depreciating hardware (which includes buying/renting the physical datacenters to hold it all).

It seems like the homeowner's hardware is a very significant part of the arbitrage/monetization equation. Yes, there is also potential arbitrage in regional differences of electricity rates. However, the greater arbitrage (at least the first 3 years) is the unused time on residential pc that would have been wasted. That "unused time" arises from computer hardware that was already purchased for other purposes than Suchflex.
