Nah, a delay slot bit is fine. Branches haven't really retired yet (that's the point of a delay slot), so when you reenter the instruction with that bit set the CPU just backs PC up and executes both of them again.

You have to make sure you can map two pages at once in case the branch/delay pair straddles a TLB boundary, but you have to screw up pretty bad to not allow that.

This reminds me of the old "real programmers use binary" meme, and how I experimented with bitmap image files by typing text into them and looking at the resulting patterns.

I wonder if I'm the only one who would find it easier to read if it was just ASCII printed in binary instead of its own symbol-set. ASCII has some patterns which make it easy to memorise, and it's something a lot of developers have indeed memorised already. That would make a great "1337 hax0r" font.

...and why not go the whole hog and make it 8 bits, so you can encode all of Unicode (as UTF-8)...
> more recently implying that CPUs with different process sizes was "cheating".

Not sure where you heard that because Intel’s CPUs have different feature sizes among the layers. It’s done to cut cost.

There is a downside to “glued-together” CPUs as Zen has demonstrated - their L3 cache is splitted and connected by a relatively slow connection.

I hope Intel continues to make “non-split” CPUs where all cores have equal access to single huge L3 cache.

As for moving components off die ... IIRC the Pentium Pro has its L2 cache on a different die but in the same package and the Pentium 2 went even further with the L2 cache on a daughterboard. This isn’t new to anyone.
Signal client is centrally managed and can be updated for every user. And it's quite ridiculous claim that Signal can't implement a backdoor in the client because of some arbitrary design choice.
Care to explain more about how it works?

Your about page says "sophisticated AI technology to detect foreground layers and separate them from the background" but that's pretty vague.

I was not expecting this to work as well as it did. Great job!
One of the best arguments against full employment that I have ever encountered was made by the German general Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord, who fought in both of the world wars and died in 1943. His argument was regarding his officers, but it can be readily applied to the population as a whole.

>"I divide my officers into four groups. There are clever, diligent, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and diligent -- their place is the General Staff. The next lot are stupid and lazy -- they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the intellectual clarity and the composure necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is stupid and diligent -- he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always cause only mischief."

Keeping diligent idiots out of the economy by paying them to stay at home would be far more economically beneficial than a drive to bring about full employment.

I don’t find your other arguments particularly compelling, but this one is definitely wrong:

> Third, it must be that she was not hired due to the pro-israel loyalty language, and not for any other reason.

She had already been hired, and worked for several years. The loyalty clause was then added, and she lost her job due to being unwilling to sign that clause. She has plenty of evidence that it was due to not signing (ie, her boss tried to get around her having to sign it, but was forced to conclude that it was unavoidable).

You seriously, seriously need to reconsider a significant part of your worldview if you can easily think of the reasons one ought to be "proud" of such an effort, but you can't think of the reasons one might be "embarrassed".

Without knowing it, you've taken a weirdly extreme and limited perspective - and deprived yourself of anything remotely close to a complete understanding.

I assume you're probably proud of your "optimism" or something here, but it's absolutely silly.

If the point of a law is to circumvent encryption you shouldn't be surprised that it doesn't satisfy anyone who wants the encryption to be safe.

Either the backdoor works and the system is bad. Or the backoor doesn't work and the system is illegal. At least if the law doesn't have a loophole.

So not sure why the article complains about the design whereas the intent and goal are the real issue. Seems like the design works as intended.
What would that be?
I'm going to have to disagree. We should be using base 7.

It pretty much has all the good points (or at least not-bad points) of base 6. It has significant ease of determining "divisible by 2" or "divisible by 3" - add the digits. Get an even number, it's divisible by 2. Get a 3 or multiple of 3 - it's divisible by 3, just like base 10 representations are. There's also a counting trick using 2 sets of 4 fingers:

1. Hold out both hands, palms toward you. Fold in thumbs. You have four fingers on each hand.

2. Count one for left pinkie.

3. Count two for right pinkie.

4. Count three for left ring finger.

5. Count four for right ring finger.

6 And so on, until count 6 for right middle finger.

7. Count ten for left index.

8. Count eleven for right pinkie.

9. Count twelve for left pinkie.

10. Count thirteen for right ring finger

11. And so on, until you count sixteen for left middle finger.

12. Count twenty for right index finger.

Even numbers are on the right fingers, odd on the left. Even multiples of 10 (base 7) are right index, odd multiples of 10 (base 7) on left index finger.

Even numbers have even parity (sum digits is even), odd numbers have odd sum of digits.

Simple and handy, even if fractions aren't worth it. We shouldn't use fractions anyway, except as a jumping off point for rational numbers. Decimal representation all the way, baby!
The big thing we don't know is if there is some kind of "tipping point" where it will be very hard to correct the extra CO2 problem because it starts to get very bad, very fast. One such "tipping point" would be that the methane clathrates(methane trapped with frozen water) all over the earth start to release lots of methane causing more methane clathrates to melt and quickly we get a 3C or something increase in a decade.

this is significantly more compact than braille. braille is less compact than latin characters, and the point of this exercise was more compact information.
I don't think that's a good analogy. Maybe an army can't make use of every type of person (doubtful, in this context) but doubly doubtful in the economy at large where employers need many different kinds of people. Moreover, who is to say the stupid and diligent, to borrow from your quote, wouldn't do worse harm at home left to their devices?

In any event, Japan, in the 80s, was pretty much near full-employment. I don't think many economists or government officials would argue that was "bad". Perhaps industrialists who could not find labor might have thought it was "bad".

We're getting very close to high quality and inexpensive eye-tracking technology that will make it cheap and easy to implement foveated rendering in VR headsets (basically, only rendering high quality where your eye is looking in a completely unnoticeable manner). That will really drop the hardware requirements and make high field of view/high resolution headsets totally doable.

It's an exciting time for VR.
So you are remotely diagnosing and mind reading... Cool.
I think you're conflating two different positions, which do admittedly co-occur in many people: 1. The technical, that any such "backdoor" is necessarily a backdoor, with all that implies, and thus to be eschewed on a "fundamental principles of good security" basis, and 2. The moral, that any such backdoor is crime against humanity, or whatever, because some of the people who have the technical capability will be leveraging it in order to oppress, and all of them will be doing so in order to act in a manner contrary to the user's interests.

Who do our tools serve? Is it just that they should be made to serve someone else, against us? Where, exactly, is the line on one side of which it's justified, but on the other it's abuse? How do you build a system that prevents abusive uses, but allows appropriate ones?

Decrying absolutist positions is all well and good, but it is a nigh-on tautology-level truth that a system with a flaw or backdoor, will be exploited — usually in multiple ways, and well beyond any potentially intended such.
Nope, just like how I don't hold what Jake Appelbaum may or may have not done against the Tor Project. I know we (the general public) will likely never have a good grasp of what happened inside Mozilla or the Tor Project when either of these events occurred.

> ... I can say that the dialectical mode of presentation was admitted by Engels to have been rather outmoded even by the time Capital I was published.

Is there a Marxism that doesn't depend on the dialectic? Or just on the dialectical mode of presentation? It has always annoyed me that if you don't believe the dialectic, there seems to be no way to even talk to a Marxist. Am I mistaken?

More generally, it seems to me that Marxists would communicate much more effectively if they used technical words much less in the process of presenting their ideas, at least in non-academic settings. Most people don't want to have to learn a bunch of technical jargon in order to understand the ideas of some group - especially a group that they consider to be not only fringe, but almost certainly already refuted. Few people have enough time to willingly take on such a task.
That doesn't seem plausible. It works too fast and the results are too good.

Both. It really is a significant offense, but politicians on both sides are doing it almost constantly (for example, https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/25/us/politics/private-email... ) and no fuss is raised.

Yep. I am curious if they will be able to remake the offering in a meaningful way such that it will be insured by the SIPC and still be a product substantially similar to what was originally offered. I imagine the SIPC wouldn't be overly amused if they see a thinly veiled pretense. The other investment firms that offer interest paying checking seem to do it via accounts at other banks that are FDIC insured.

Rejecting VP8/VP9 due to Google's involvement is silly and pointless, they're free to use codecs that are much more efficient than H.264. Apple has made its choice to push H.264 & H.265 due to their vested interest in the licensing revenue they stand to gain via the MPEG LA.

I completely fail to see the problem here. Let people try to disrupt whatever they want, what's the harm? It's extremely unlikely that dotsies will ever be anything other than a minor curiosity, but where's the problem? There's a one in a billion chance it could be the next evolution of the alphabet, and, anyway, what's bad about trying?

I don't see a reason for the negativity, because I don't see a single disadvantage in trying. If the author wants to waste their time, let them.
I feel like HN should implement a "positive-only" or "constructive-only" flag for posts, whether set by posters or moderators. Perhaps all Show HN. Start to experiment, see what sticks.
On a barely more productive note, I am pretty sceptical that an "optimized" alphabet glyph would be one dot for a b c d e, two adjacent dots for f g h i, etc. How likely is it that alphabetical order also happens to be the best dot pattern?

Interesting, similar to how the korean alphabet works; letters are composed into syllabic units. “Lol,” for example, is 롤, which is a combination of ㄹ + ㅗ + ㄹ. It’s easy to see how they match up with their latin counterparts.
Provably Efficient Maximum Entropy Exploration
Very interesting. It's definitely more compact but I would challenge the more readable claim.

If you think about how the human vision system is constructed (similar to convnets in deep learning), the brain uses a hierarchy of constructs like circles, lines, corners, etc. Recognizing letters requires the triggering of multiple layers of these constructs.

A dot, and another dot 1 pixel higher or lower is easy to get conflated. There's going to be a high degree of uncertainty. We have a hard enough time distinguishing '1' and 'l', and 'O' and '0'. This makes it so every letter takes on that trait. We usually must rely on context of the surrounding letters and words to fill in the missing information.

I think the concept of this idea is valid, but we need more than moving pixels up and down to distinguish letters. If instead a form existed that mixed various small primitive shapes it might work.

I'm not an expert on the vision system but I would think, sticking to at most 2 different locations instead of 5, and mixing in vertical lines, horizontal lines, diagonals, corners, and circles might be work exploring.

There's also color but lots of people are color blind.
Employment isn't the end goal. What we want is to provide people with the access to goods and services, and employment is a good proxy that is easier to optimize for. Also, for what it's worth, we already live in an age of full* employment in the U.S. and so far we're yet to see that the "maintenance of full employment [causes] social and political changes which [gives] a new impetus to the opposition of the business leaders".

This essay also overlooks the problem with the government's ability to efficiently allocate capital, or to do so more efficiently than the market itself does, given that the market is ultimately self-correcting, with few exceptions that we can legislate against.

This essay is largely devoid of academic meaning. It's full of conjectures and extrapolations and lacking any bona fide empirical basis.

Not to mention it is guilty of the seemingly undying habit of the left to posit that those in favor of business hold their beliefs solely because it benefits them, and not because they genuinely want what's best for the whole of society.

The difference from what was decided historically is that in the past, books had to be printed in a font chosen by the printer, so they chose one that the most people could read. Today, individuals can choose their own fonts to read in, so the legacy compatibility problem is greatly reduced.

Given how different some international alphabets are (Russian, Hebrew, Katakana) it's not self-evident that the conventional Latin glyphs are optimal.

Xiaomi A6 can often be found new around me for less than $100 each, they have good battery, good camera and good LTE modems. And there are cheaper options with inferior (but possibly sufficient) hardware. 2nd hand previous generation Xiaomi or Meizu are often $20-$40 when you can find them.

Hey it's their label, not mine. I guess in that sense then yes, "good" it subject to opinion.

But so is "innocent" and "guilty," which is why we have laws to define the two.

Google realizes that "good" is subjective. That's why they have QA, privacy teams, security teams, ect. They rely on a consensus of these groups to define what "good" means to Google using a variety of perspectives.

Choosing to ignore literally all of these mechanisms not only means that something isn't "good," but it's also a pretty clear indicator that the people behind it know it's actually bad.
