I respect that the PHP maintainers recognize that it is not enough to accept a working JIT implementation - they have to understand and maintain it. Speed is one thing, but long term maintenance is more important.

> use DynAsm (developed for LuaJIT project) for generation of native code

But at the very least, this exercise will ensure that DynAsm will be actively used by a few people. So even if this PHP JIT effort fails, the underlying JIT technology will be more widely understood and hopefully better documented for other projects.
Previously I worked at Waymo for a year on the perception module of the self driving car. Based on what I know about the state of the art of computer vision, I can pretty much guarantee that current Tesla cars will never be autonomous. This is probably a huge risk for the investors of Tesla, because currently Tesla is selling a fully-autonomous option on its car which will never happen with current hardware. We need several breakthroughs in computer vision for no-fail image based object detection, and you will need higher resolution cameras, and much much more compute power to be able to process all the images. It's hard to estimate when we will reach that level of advancement in computer vision, my most optimistic wild guess is 10-20 years. And then Tesla will need to upgrade all those cameras and install a dedicated TPU which should be at least 10x or probably more faster than the nVidia chip they have installed on their cars, and they should do it for zero dollars because they have already sold the option. It is kinda amazing that Elon Musk is selling cars based on speculative future breakthroughs in technology. That must be a first.
Orange Mystery (their made up name) is an intended way to get JTAG access to TXE if the CPU is in manufacturing mode. Something that only happens if an OEM forgets to turn it off before shipping. This was the case with Intel Macbooks, before it was fixed. Haven't heard of other manufactures making the same mistake.
Or perhaps sometimes other people are actually wrong.
What do you mean "when the capital gains" happens? Say I was an early employee of a company and received stock options. I exercised my options while living within the US and have private stock. The company IPOs, I move to Puerto Rico, and sell my shares while a resident there.

The "tax event" happens when I sell my shares, no?
Seriously? We live in a golden age of creation now, it takes just a minimum effort to find good content, compared to what it was before.
I find there is a worrying lack of thorough quantitative analysis with these types of bans and attempts to internalize externalities. This law is a statement by lawmakers predicated on the cost of single use plastic bags and even paper bags to be greater than the efficiencies they introduce to society at large. It seems to me that such a statement is extremely hard to quantify. Furthermore this may also be a regressive tax where poor people disproportionately benefit from the benefits provided by single use plastic bags and the rich pay more of the consequences. This is without even taking into account the unintended consequences of such laws. Another poster even mentioned the health hazards that could be introduced.
I met my wife at a coffee shop. In fact someone I met at the coffee shop introduced us. Married 25 years. Doesn't seem superficial to me.
>"[dark matter] seems to make up about 95% of the galactic mass...crushingly narrow passages between observation and tests of GR"

GR only matches observation because you added in 20x more stuff that is undetectable other than as a deviation from the predictions of GR.
Combined with the crazy wind here it also ends up everywhere (like at the top of tall trees)
I'm not seeing why this is paying tax on the same thing twice? You'd have a new cost basis, so you'd only pay again if it went up even more. Even if it's on the same property, that's a separate gain and this is effectively dividing a single large gain into two smaller gains, one of which happens earlier.

It seems like the question here is how long you can delay taxes on a capital gain. It doesn't seem particularly unfair if you can't always delay capital gains tax as long as you like?
I also don't really get why we don't apply spam filtering retroactively a few seconds/minutes after it arrived. At first you don't know the domain yet, but at some point you can go "oh, this domain now reached more than 1000 different inboxes for the first time, and of the 50 users who saw the message, 45%* marked it as spam. Must be spam, let's move these and future messages to spam folders for all who haven't downloaded/opened the message yet." There is so much spam that is (nearly) identical and reaches a large percentage of people, but it's just left in the inbox for years by outlook/gmail/etc., even if I don't log into the account for months at a time.

If the spammers can only reach an initial small sample and the domain is next to useless after that, even 99ct domains should not be worth it.

* Or whatever is a normal number. I know lots of people just leave the message as 'read' and don't bother marking it. I don't know how many users do this. Maybe one could also keep track of users who regularly mark something as spam and only count the percentage among those.
Because it's a different implementation that happens to be 15 times slower than the implementation used in the straight JS version. That's fine for the benchmark game, it's a garbage input to a 'how energy efficient are these languages' study.

Let's say I want to measure the 'energy efficiency' of x86 assembly and JS. I'll use sorting an array of 1000 integers. In my JS implementation, I call Array.sort. In my x86 implementation, I randomly shuffle the array and check if it's sorted, if not repeat until it is. Does measuring the execution times of these tell me anything about the 'energy efficiency' of Javascript vs x86 assembly?
Every surveillance cams get equipped with facial ability? Sounds fantastic idea!

I think it's met the intended goal of less plastic litter. I live in SF and hardly ever see a plastic bag lying on the sidewalk or blowing around. It's pretty typical to see people bring their own bags to the store which hardly anyone did in Pennsylvania where I grew up. Also, the reusable plastic bags are heavier and less likely to blow out of trash cans.
Here I thought it'd be an article on what we read/understand shape our realities.

Nothing is more fun then reading the same story, but on different news media - from CNN, NHK to El Pais.
Yea, I've thought about living in another country before for various reasons including adventure, but once you start a family a lot of stuff gets complicated fast.

Yea...a little weird as an American citizen, I have trouble comprehending places which basically don't ever let you become a citizen.
You must have misunderstood, when I said "write", I meant handwriting, with stroke order and all. There's no need to learn to write this way, at all, for almost anyone.
I usually have reusable canvas and plastic bags, I just don't have a strong incentive to remember to carry them with me. I suspect you'll find people will own a multitude of reusable bags, and given that their value will be driven down by necessity, the higher quality bags will end up becoming trivially affordable and accessible to everyone.
You can’t “take care of it with responsibility” if you have a lot of dependencies since you don’t control the library’s maintenance, or how it evolves with other libraries. So then you have to chose between adding dependency (with very real maintenance downsides) vs writing things yourself and reinventing things that should be solved.

Further, being stuck in a box also means that the community can rely on that very box and add more extensions with the architecture of the box in mind. A box gives assumptions to build on top of. Sure if you really really need a triangle it’s painful, but then you should ask, do I really need a triangle?

I think the real insight of DHH is that most web apps are not as “unique” as developers would like to believe and that the harmony that comes with conventions, the speed that comes with a unified end to end integrated system, and the focus developers gain for actual impactful choices when many unimportant choices are made for them is an amazing improvement.

He said recently, that insight is as controversial today as when he launched rails, and he is surprised more rails competitors haven’t emerged.

I think the first end to end GraphQL > Single Page App framework that has a similar level of integration to rails will dominate.
He's comparing the best employment outcome ( cushy working conditions, a six-figure salary, and generous stock options ) with worst entrepreneurism outcome ( failure, small commodity business, too much work ).

There is a BIG difference between what is called "small business" and "startup". Small business doesn't scale, while startup starts small, but it can scale globally and create better moat ( scale, network effects, brand ).

People here are interested in startups, not small business.

Tech entrepreneurism is actually underrated since nowhere else do you have low starting costs, global audience, low marginal costs etc. ( https://signalvnoise.com/posts/3324-commercial-freedom ) .
This is an example of releasing things that are potentially unsafe but 'meh we are part of silicon valley enthusiasts, let's fail fast and fail often'.

The slight problem with this approach is the failures end up killing a few human beings. Sure, you can learn from the failures but is this the right way?

Very callous and self-righteous behavior from these Elon Musk-style people.
Remember when "expert system" was the AI buzzword du jour?

Technically, the majority of expert systems were narrowly focused (single purpose) search engines that were unable to extract or infer novel information from the collected data. That required humans who still referred to it as artificial intelligence.

Unless you keep your capital as cash under the mattress it’s already participating in the economy and being allocated.
among other things, this might be to track how many people stay in your home and for how long, and that might cause eviction.
What kind of hoops? If you're going to do a single transaction for $500k+ that is a huge difference...
It's only a huge waste of human capital if people are actually building a lot of capital in college. There is a lot of evidence that they are not and that it's mostly a signaling exercise.

You may be surprised to find a lot of people on HN are already “much later in life”. Also, from the experience of several friends of mine who had a lot trouble- if you want kids you should start trying before the future mother is 40.

We were lucky to be very fertile/healthy but we also started having kids in our early 30s.

For articles like this there always seems to be a few comments suggesting statistically Tesla's are the safest cars.

Are the cars safe or is it the drivers? The population of Tesla drivers is far from average; the average driver certainly can't afford a 40-80k+ car and may not be interested in electric.
You haven't been keeping up, Tesla is doing exactly that, look into AP3 hardware.
Interesting. By the time everything's fully automated, it might be hard to call them "cars" anymore anyway.
Eh that reasoning is weird but the location based income just makes sense to me. Do we really expect everyone to make silicon-valley salaries when they don’t live in such ridiculously expensive areas?
Who are you to decide what is science and what isn't? What is your model of what a science is anyway? As long as you can't answer that, the only thing unscientific is your comment.
So if public servants are forbidden from striking and their employer (govt) starts abusing them, what would be their recourse? Voting might be insufficient if size of the workforce is too small to matter.

In general, strike is a tool labor has against capital. Just because capital happens to be provided by taxpayers, how does that warrant a special case handling?
Two thoughts:

Are you saying that a teacher should be able to babysit more that 28 students or that a teacher shouldn't be working as a babysitter? It seems to me that as a practical matter "babysitting" is an inherent part of a teachers job (particularly in lower grades) and that's probably something that they cannot do efficiently much above 28 students.

Second, my understanding is that teacher to student ratios is one of the major metrics used to identify the health of a school. Granted, since I don't personally know the data behind that, this is effectively an "appeal to authority", but it still strikes me as reasonable to put some stock in the expert's opinions.
One of the bases is that the government's charter (founding documents) is full of lofty ideals. But when you look at modern society in practice, most of them have been effectively nullified. And following the contour of the law, you continually see the little hacks whereby the government routed around the spirit of the higher constitutional/common law by using a procedural exception of allowing people a narrow loophole.

If you start with an assertion that the founding laws must still be in full effect (the fundamentalist mindset, effectively), then it stands to reason that if you can just find the correct loopholes you can cut through all the totalitarian cruft that was plastered on top. There's a lot of runway before individuals actually run aground from these theories (and social pressure to not admit when they've failed in a minor way), so you end up with the sovereign citizen social club.

(AFAIK what actually happened is that those loopholes were de facto closed via societal consensus. And to the degree that some of them are still effective, you're fighting an uphill social/economic battle to choose them)
When galaxies "collide" stars barely ever get into contact. The interaction is completely dominated by gravity.
The right to hire whoever you want at whatever terms you want to offer. Collective bargaining mandates for one violate that right. You can't offer an employment contract that doesn't obligate you as an employer to collectively bargain, meaning negotiate with a representative of a collective bargaining unit to the exclusion of all other parties, in the event that a majority of workers in a work unit unionize and demand it.

Anything the press commonly defines as a "labor right" is really a restriction on the employer's right to freely contract.

Do you have any opinion on the new HW3 which is a custom ASIC for CNNs or something like that? Would love to know how that stands compared to other possible ASICs at Waymo.
> Scientists themselves can't really pay attention to it without breaking the entire funding model of non-STEM sciences.

I can't speak for other social sciences, but in academic economics/econometrics the error-in-variables/measurements problem is a very old and well known issue. (It was in my undergraduate econometrics class.) See e.g. these decades old articles:
https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/1401917.pdf
https://www.jstor.org/stable/1913020

Of course it still gets ignored in plenty of emperical economic research, but as you mentioned the main issue is probably the incentives facing the researchers.
There's some precedent in NYC that suggests that such a charge would probably be effective. When Metrocards (renewable subway transportation passes) were introduced they were initially free so people didn't hesitate to simply jettison their old passes and simply obtain a new one rather than reload the old pass. The net effect was huge piles of discarded Metrocards near the turnstiles and dispensers. After the price of a card was raised to one dollar those piles of discarded Metrocards immediately disappeared.
I think your view is skewed and doesn't reflect what actually happened in the mid-00s.

Seriously, read up on Act 20 and 22 (whichever applies). Don’t take random 2-minute internet blurbs on it. You enter into a contract with Puerto Rico, you move there, you make required donations, comply with the other rules as required.

Set aside several evenings to do the basic reading, then if still interested, engage in a PR-based expert counsel to ensure you both understand and that you do everything correctly.

For me, it would only make sense if the amount in question was mid 7 figures if you’re just doing it for taxes and didn’t otherwise want to live in PR.
Intel underplayed the exploit and told ZDNet that the VISA issue requires physical access to the machines and the Intel-SA-00086 vulnerabilities have already been mitigated.

Am I the only one here who thinks "threat model" and isn't all too worried? Physical access = full control, I've long held that belief and am not happy that this freedom is continually being eroded in the name of ever-increasing ridiculous "security" (a lot of it against the user, for things like DRM, as mentioned in one of the other comments here.)

Debugging/"test mode" features are basically present in all modern CPUs. I would not bet that Intel is the only one.

Edit: such features have been present in CPUs dating back to the late 70s, so perhaps "modern" isn't needed: see http://forum.6502.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3366 and http://e4aws.silverdr.com/hacks/6500_1/
I wish CA would ban them store-wide, the bags used in produce departments are incredibly wasteful and you'll often have a customer using multiple of those for every bag worth of groceries they purchase.

Either ban them or require they be quickly biodegradable.
Exactly. Claiming to be close to solving production problems that haven't been solved in robotics research in nice controlled environments is nuts. Either people at Tesla are so smart they are making many huge breakthroughs in the technology (hint: they're not) or the are exaggerating and lying to sell cars despite the dangers of selling systems based on heuristics that could cost lives.
I think OP means that its the safest car in terms of collision safety not the AP functionality.
As a computer engineer, I get excited to see latest technology being applied to our every day lives. I can't wait to see a facial recognition system in action somewhere.

On the other hand, it is hard to disagree with this article. Getting photographed everyday or perhaps several times in a single day could quickly start feeling like a huge violation of privacy. All the security cameras in this building make things even worse because with an access to your facial data and your identity, they can now easily track everywhere you go inside your building. And then NYPD could theoretically subcontract a firm that interfaces with this building to track its occupants through the neighborhood with similar accuracy.

I really don't like where things are headed.

I think I may have misunderstood you, but just to clarify: By “Furthermore this may also be a regressive tax where poor people disproportionately benefit from the benefits provided by single use plastic bags and the rich pay more of the consequences,” are you saying it’s a regressive tax that is biased against the rich and therefore unfair to the rich?
I've heard a lot about those, the quote refers to "VISA"
Ok, 4% is still very low.

Even with a few hoops that I assume are manageable if others are doing it, it seems way too good to be true. I would seriously consider moving if I lined up a bunch of capital gains to liquidate in a single year.
On the contrary, stoicism helps you re-attach, especially if reality as perceived with your old mindset has become unbearable. Think of it as a way of viewing things, and less of suppressing anything. Emotions are generated as a reaction to your perception of reality - you will be fed up by the stranger running a red light, but your anger will swing to concern if you learn that they are heading towards an emergency room. Emotions are really just communicators of the reality you perceive. Stoicism might help you adjust your perception where it is just plain wrong. That’s BTW also how cognitive behavioral therapy works, just with the aid of a professional.

I‘m not sure what you mean with Default Mode Network inhibition. CBD is a cannabinoid, and those are present in all mammal bodies - it’s just an aid for faster repair, especially nerves and brain. You might find your brain working better and clearer, because it regenerates faster.
When / where was mod_perl ever widespread? Perl was usually provided via CGI, and php was mostly deployed with mod_php back in the day which gave it a great speed advantage, often at the price of security.
You will never be able to justify the collateral intrusion that getting all the connections to a single cell site would represent.

If you don't know who you're looking for then it isn't actually that much help in any case.

Assuming you know that the suspect phone will have pinged a given cell site, then you still have to work out which phone it was. Assuming that they're not daft enough to use anything other than an unregistered PAYG sim, then you're left hoping that the IMEI of their handset has come to police attention.

If you had the resources, you could get the top-up data for all the unregistered sims attached to that cell site and hope there's CCTV at a given newsagent or that they've used their own bank account to top up online.
