Or, much worse but likely more accurate, an FPGA shaped by an evolutive algorithm https://www.damninteresting.com/on-the-origin-of-circuits/

Because that's another issue, evolution is a pretty greedy algorithm and nature doesn't care if you don't understand her architecture decisions (metaphorically speaking ofc)

"Word" only means 16 bits on x86; on 32-bit ARM, for example, it means 32 bits, and the architecture manual uses "doubleword" to refer to 64 bits. [edit: the parent's post was edited but originally asked about this]

Having int be 64-bits is known as ILP64 (int, long, and pointers 64-bit); some obscure systems handled the 64-bit transition that way (Cray), but Unix went with LP64 (long and pointers 64-bit), and Windows went with LLP64 (long long and pointers 64-bit). Here's an interesting document from 1997 comparing the approaches:

http://www.unix.org/version2/whatsnew/lp64_wp.html

Basically a matter of tradeoffs around compatibility, performance, and consistency.
But everybody on HN uses the internet. I think.
I do since Dec'16. Any common car with adaptive cruise control should make road trips easier and reduce fatigue without any false sense of security. You own the older gen AP1 which should be way more stable and apparently doesn't have this particular "barrier" bug.
My (perhaps overly optimistic) hope is that the private space race begins to look more like the autonomous car race. Rather than seeing a straightforward battle of old vs new, we're seeing companies at different stages take entirely different approaches by leveraging their own strengths. GM might be the best comparison, as they've purchased Cruise while keeping several distinct R&D groups within GM, all focused on different levels of autonomy. They have a lot of resources and they're willing to spread their bets.

I'm hopeful that a similar thing is going on within Boeing, where they have their own R&D groups (including their ULA teams), and then are making bets on external projects as well. If they continue to invest in bold bets like this, we could see more and more aerospace companies investing in new projects with the intent of actually productizing their tech (just to keep up). That would be a lot of fun to watch.
They also learned from their first architecture shifts, which didn't go all that well. Apple II to Apple III flopped early. Apple II to Lisa was nonexistent. Apple II to Mac could've been a 1984 to 1985 thing if executed well, but instead it took until 1993 for Apple II to be killed. Lisa to Mac was just recycling the old hardware for the new OS via MacWorks.
When I search "go" on google the first result I get is a package courier, then the game, then the verb... then comes Golang though.
You should prepare for disasters as they really happen. Could you survive OK in Portoriko (or your local type of similar disaster)? Would you have way to generate power at least to have light and radio? Do you have friends in other countries/places that would help you relocate? Do you have water and food for few weeks to survive initial blast? What about medicine you need? Do you have cash to buy basics until electricity is setup again?

But you are right that if you prepare too well. So well that it's visible, it is likely that it will be taken from you. Or you can end up as that guy who prepared for zombie apocalypse and lost it all (100k USD invested) in hurricane.

It will never (with exception of all out nuclear war) be total world annihilation. Yet most people seems totally unprepared for stuff that just keeps happening. And it will likely be getting more frequent with climate change.

But I couldn't find any link to the c++ code. Surely the emulator is also needed in order to be able to reproduce the research?

A bit of a shame they used closed source games - I'm not sure how one would go about obtaining copies (legally). But it would be interesting to try replication via other places/demos - as they only model booting anyway.
Because then again you are not prepared for raiders as you have fewer manpower to defend yourself.

Hmm, the HN title is grossly misleading.. I wonder why?
> A social network composed entirely of incredibly smart, obsessive opera fans would deliver all the information I could want about the opera scene, but it would fail to clue me in to the fact that, say, my country had been infested by a rising tide of neo-Nazis.

Except it would. I know no-one that talks about opera (or anything) all of the time, and it's hard to think that a rising tide of neo-Nazis would escape the notice of a group of reasonably educated, establishment liberals.

Much of filter bubble theory as it applies to social media seems to treat humans as unthinking demographic blobs defined entirely by their status and political beliefs, and the bubble as something impenetrable, through which new information about the world cannot pass.

Sure, within groups there is groupthink, and I get the appeal of techno-dystopianism, but I can't accept the idea that this is in any way a new phenomenon, or that we are not more connected to new ideas now than we have ever been.
The problem space of combinatorial auctions is exponential. There is no collapsing it (there are proofs of this, if I recall correctly), and there is no optimization fast enough to make it feasible when n gets to, say, 64.

Sound so like they're doing some sort of approximation (using "AI"), which is the best you can hope for.
I guess in the year 2012 samsung paid off a $1.05 billion to Apple, now its Apple's turn to pay someone else.
No, but exceptions aren't the only way to handle errors in C++.

There are also library types that enforce checking for errors, something currently impossible in C.

Also thanks to its stronger type system, it is possible to do type driven programming thus preventing many errors to happen at all, which is also not possible in plain C.

Finally everyone is moving to C++, C for OS development is stuck on UNIX and embedded devs that wouldn't use anything else even at point gun.

Are they ? GPL is about protecting users' freedom. It's still a valid aim to me, probably even more so.

What has changed is that the web is much bigger than the desktop and so the GPL has less ground to grow on, so its effect may have been weakened. But only the effect, not the goal.

(I 100% admit I am more an idealist than a pragmatic)
So true. Fallout 1+2 are my favorite RPGs of all times. They had real choice for example: you could talk your way out of different situations and even get better over all outcomes (vault city and the ghouls if I remember correctly)

If the guy didn't use the Tesla Autopilot, then he would still be alive today.

I don't know how else to clearly say this.

When you are travelling at 65 MPH, then there is no ability to safely react, should the car decide to go berserk.

You probably have less than 0.25 seconds to react. And even if you had your hands on the wheel, there is just no way for you to safely process the situation, and react to safely take control of the vehicle.

And if you do react, then you might end up over-reacting, which would cause a different kind of accident. And which, Tesla would blame on you, for human error for over-reacting.

This is not a good situation. The only way to survive, is to not play.

I have over hundreds of thousands of miles of driving experience, and I as a human, would have never gotten into this situation.

I think the long term plan is to keep adding stuff to VS code, keeping it modular so that it can be anything from a simple editor to the full IDE VS is, and then phase out Visual Studio. Achieves multiple goals in one go, and gives a smooth transition path without the second system syndrome pressure. Everybody wins.

And why the redefinition of NULL? The author of this library is not experienced with C++.

Well, let me tell you that C suffers from the same issue of running code outside main().

It is funny how many issues people blame on C++ that are usually inherited from C semantics compatibility, or existing C extensions at the time C++ started to get adopted.
Reinventing well explored areas of software engineering from first principles!
There is often a discussion about ethnicity (and gender) in relation to athletic events; when you have the position put to you, by observation or another, that despite the general adversity faced by certain ethnicities they dominate the medal tables - you are forced to seriously consider the position that not all ethnicities are equal. This will quickly spawn the question of the relationship between ethnicity and intelligence as it is perceived as an orthogonal measure of superiority.

Of course, as you say, it is incredibly hard to control ethnicity and intelligence - due to them largely being perceptions as opposed to metrics. However I am saying the discussion of intelligence in relation to ethnicity comes to most through perfectly normal observations of concrete metrics.
Imagine if you have a dependency on a third party library, and they only offer 32-bit DLL, or the company is out of business and you are stuck with the 32-bit dynamic library. You can't just "compile against x86_64" in this case.
These are incredibly sad, not only for what they leave out or obfuscate, but especially for what they felt it necessary to include. They seem like the notes of a flunky, not a Harvard grad.

It's been around, but not quoted as often as the 8m of Greenland. The reason is that earlier they didn't think Antarctica would have considerable amounts of melt in a short (100-200 years) timeframe, but now it seems it's melting almost as quickly as continental ice everywhere, which means mere decades will be significant.

Re: iOS, yeah, I was looking at my purchased app history to get inspiration for a new project and a decent chunk of apps I bought around the time of the first iPad (as well as newer ones) are no longer available, which is a shame. I can’t really blame the authors for not going back and updating a £1.99 app 6 years after the fact, but it’s a shame and I hope there won’t be another “extinction event” like this. Am I right in understanding that Bitcode should make architecture changes much less of an issue for iOS in future?
Fine, but then ot's beneath totally irresponsible to let such technology loose on the public.
It is comparable to an airplane autopilot, but not to the public misconception of an autopilot. An airplane autopilot is another complex control, not another pilot.

If I command my autopilot to fly me into terrain or into a thunderstorm, it will do so. If I command it to climb at a vertical speed that the engine power can’t support, it will fly the plane into an aerodynamic stall. If I’m flying on autopilot, I still have to pay close attention and still log pilot time as “sole manipulator of the controls”. If I crash on autopilot, it’s still overwhelmingly [human] “pilot error”, not “autopilot error”.

People hear autopilot and incorrectly assume it’s, “Hey George, fly me to LaGuardia and wake me upon landing.”
Yeah I sometimes really wonder where Ubuntu would have gotten if they'd held on for another year. And If they would have produced a simple but nice dock... But I guess you and me are part of a very small group. I feel I have that more often, I also loved my Pebble Time Steel and I'm still waiting for a good quality ARM notebook (with Dell XPS build quality but much cheaper) which could run Linux.
On the contrary, classes and inheritance in both Python and JavaScript behave basically the same. In Python, classes are objects (a building, not a blueprint), and inheritance is done by delegation.

If you've used Python classes and inheritance all this time and never felt confused, then people can also use JavaScript's classes and inheritance and never feel confused.
The way traditional automakers are doing it is the proper way to do it - cautiously and responsibly. Incrementally implementing driver assistive technology instead of shipping an autopilot which doesn't deliver and crashes the car into obstacles. Traditional automakers are used to screw ups that lead to recalls and lawsuits so they're quite cautious.

The Hyundai Ionic assistive tech slows down the car to a stop if you take your hands off the wheel.

Userspace implementations of various protocols usually suffer from various problems, most notoriously that applications can't share an interface (how would you if both try to write ethernet frames at the same time?) and lackluster performance in low-throughput scenarios (high throughput != low latency and high packet throughput != high bandwidth througput)

GPUs don't have much security at all, there is lots of DMA or mapped memory. Though on most modern monolithic kernels a lot of this work is either in modules (AMDGPU on Linux is usually a module not compiled into the kernel) or even userspace (AMDGPU-Pro in this case). Mesa probably also counts.

Microkernels aren't the ideal kernel design. Monolithic isn't either. I put most of my bets on either Modular Kernels if CPUs can get more granual security (MILL CPU looks promising) or Hybrid Kernels like NT where some stuff runs in Ring 0 where it's beneficial and the res in userspace.
The UK is not regaining independence, it was never lost.

I think it is naive to assume that in the current political climate with huge actors (US/China/Russia/India) and the potential for trade wars that the UK will come out better from this especially with their previous privileged position.
The naming of their self driving features "autopilot" will go down in history as Tesla's biggest mistake.
You've framed the issue in a way that I think obscures a straightforward application of core libertarian principles.

Companies are just associations of people bound by various contracts, all freely entered into into.

So the libertarian belief in freedom of association and freedom of contract lead naturally to the support of any voluntarily formed organization including companies of all types, churches, non-profits, little leagues, partnerships, activist groups, and so on.

Inconveniencing the driver and making it a learning experience vs crashing into concrete and killing him

Well. Maybe you are the naive one. Machinery shouldn’t give warnings. We already learned those lesson in industrial automation settings.

The average mentality of “just user error bro” seen on hackers new is what scares me the most. That is not how you build secure machines, far from it, and at this point my only hope not to be killed from an autonomous car in the next 30 years is for the regulations hammer coming crashing down full force on the wanton engineers that are treating loss of life as user error
It’s not a matter of work but of reaction time available.
It is an app exclusively for "Finnkino" cinemas. Most people would interpret "movie app"to be something broader than that.
I'm impressed that "Learning Styles" merely show no evidence of helping, rather than being actively harmful.

When I grapple with a hard problem, I will draw diagrams, talk to myself, use my hands or nearby objects as models, and also do the internal mental equivalents of all those things. In particular, I keep switching between things that might be called "geometrical visualisation", "formal reasoning" and "informal verbalisation".

I solve hard problems by tackling bits of them with whatever tool is works and then I try all the tools again on whatever parts of the problem remain. Thus the different tools work together, and are much more powerful combined than individually. If I stuck to using my "natural" tool, I might learn to use it very well, but I would get stuck as soon as it was the wrong tool. I would loose all that lovely synergy.
A truly scary work of fiction. It’s too much of a nightmare to consider that the last election could have been hacked as well!

As a user of autopilot in aviation context, I do remain engaged and connected to the flight while the autopilot handles the routine course following and altitude hold/tracking responsibilities.

I don’t find that particularly challenging and in fact, when the autopilot is INOP, flights are slightly more mentally fatiguing because you have no offload and complex arrivals are much more work, but in cruise, you have to be paying attention either way. It’s not a time to read the newspaper, autopilot or not.
I’m not sure how Bloodhound is a con? It’s a record attempt with little practical application apart from attempting to enthuse new engineers, but it’s never been marketed as more than that.

My last two IT jobs ever were both for businesses which cancelled huge rewrites after being sold to another company. Someone up top pitched the businesses as white elephants ripe for massive cost savings half-way during the rewrite.

The programmers with the political skills to get put in the "Rewrite team" will have had their jobs in the "Legacy team" protected in case of project cancellation. Or they will knife you in the back to get their old jobs back -- they will know about the cancellation and have plenty of time to maneuver before you know what's going on.
Making a new engine technology takes a long time. The jet engine took decades before its reliably seen for consumer use. It's likely there are still a couple more funding rounds down the road.

There's a difference between what's legal, what should be legal, and what you can successfully bargain for. If employee wages were being stolen, that's a matter for police and lawyers. A union exists mostly to help employees represent their side of the latter two cases, in a way that's as organised as a company.

The article describes a situation where employees were blocked from taking holiday time by management, and where they collectively bargained to fix that problem. That kind of thing is not the same thing as "the inability to get fired", and I think there's a much stronger case that it's a net positive for society.
For plugins it might well be possible to create a 64 bit shim plugin that fires up the old 32 bit plugin in a virtualised 32 bit environment, with thunks to translate backwards and forwards.
