"There is a place for everybody in our cities"

You mean once we destroyed their habitat anyways?
All houses, buildings, roads, factories, etc, were all habitats to animals, insects, vegetation, etc, and then they were displaced or killed when the land was cleared for construction. But luckily for us, that was before we moved in or places we don't have to see it.

All the items you use are mined and manufactured in buildings or places that destroyed other life on the planet, and then will destroy more once disposed of again.

This empathy for rats seems completely misplaced.

The volatile keyword will certainly lead to implications for cache coherency, but it cannot bypass the TLB or somehow magically avoid the need to involve the memory controller. Unless I'm grossly misunderstanding something, a majority of the points on the second slide should also be on the first.
That's a good point. The list for Android fragmentation even includes 2.0 Eclair, which has 0% across the whole row!
1. Only ask one question. More than that and people skip it until later then forget. Or if they do respond they only answer one question anyway and forget the others.

2. Schedule the delivery for first thing in the morning. Email delivered during the day, after people get busy, just scrolls off the front page and gets lost. (I use Gmail's new scheduled send multiple times a day now.)
Funnily enough, this is another great tactic for getting emails returned (looping in someone with more leverage than you or asking them to follow up for you)!
A Spectacular View of the SpaceX Starlink Satellite Train
"So, one could immediately ask, if I'm able to work in SF with an SF-commensurate salary, and pay this low in rent, why is no one else doing this? As far as I can tell, people even living in SF are very lucky to have less than a 30min commute one way. So I tack on an extra hour per day of commute, or, lets say, roughly 20-25hrs per month.
"

To me this increase in commute time means going from having time for extracurricular activities during the week to losing the whole work week.

Check for yourself - look at the compiler output using https://godbolt.org for volatile on a variety of architectures. Ask yourself 'where is the logic to bypass the cache or virtual memory?' You won't find it.

> It sounds like they're looking for someone to blame for right wing candidates' success in the same way people blamed Russian bots for Trump's success because they can't believe that real people could possibly be voting for such obviously "wrong" candidates of their own free will and they must surely have been fooled into it by clever tricksters.

Since the media consumed by EU voters is so disjoint because of language barriers, this should be somewhat possible to test. If one could show a correlation between the amount of "trickery" present in media consumed by voters in a country and that country's election outcomes, you could get an answer to whether voters really are fooled into voting for right wing candidates.
IO Monad (in Scala) – which, why and how to how
I didn't read on, as the article is beyond me, but I believe the initial example of extracting structured facts from a paragraph about Marie Curie is partially incorrect.

The text doesn't say she was born in Poland. It says she was Polish. It also doesn't say her nationality at death was French, it says she was naturalized-French at some point. It also states she conducted _pioneering_ research on radioactivity, which is not captured by the example output.

The example also shows an inferrence that her job is "researcher." This is a questionable inferrence. Imagine this conversation between two humans: "He's a hard-surface texturing artist, but he coded sometimes when he needed to." "Oh so his jobs are art and coding?" "No his job is art, but he can code."

As humans, we are thinking about role assignments and expectations vs people committing acts. What ultimately defines a "job"?

The point I'm trying to make is that "She was a researcher." and "She did research." should not result in the same output.

There's obviously a lot of inferrence required to discern any structure from the text (like assuming "she" refers to Marie Curie), but I believe these inferrences should be recognisable -- captured in the output in a way they can be queried and reasoned about.
I thought x86 wasn't allowed to do write-write reordering? Does that rule not apply to peripherals? Is an `mfence` guaranteed to fix it, or are there just no rules at all at that point?
I don't agree that moderation adds as much to the discussion as you say it does. Flagging (with the option to show dead) and downvoting is all that's needed for the community to police itself. This is a forum of intelligent people, there's no way the dialog you suggest would happen and if it did, those comments would be nearly instantly flagged.

I think there's also room for inviting users to be moderators on a rotating basis. Anything is better than a centralized moderation team that can direct the tone and voice of a community in my opinion.
and the point is they'll take care of themselves by renting the cheap housing if that's all thats available.

even if the rental cost is fixed, they'll outbid by being better tenants, or hiring agencies to get their name in first on waiting lists, or just bribing the low-level decision makers.

Do these people actually say, “this is a silver bullet” or is that your interpretation? Does this mean is pat undersells you on Y you might be more receptive?
I don't get this, most likely due to my ignorance, but I thought volatile doesn't necessarily force anything to RAM, it can just push it out so cache coherence handles the rest, between cores (and perhaps peripherals). MESI can do the work without actually hitting memory.

if you want to force actually to ram then perhaps you'd need a memory barrier.

This is not my area though. Wrong? Right?

I definitely agree that trying to just eliminate nature from our cities is going to have negative consequences. And from what I understand, the mechanisms behind many of the ways we kill rodents (e.g. anticoagulant poison and sticky paper) seem inhumane.

I'll have to look into if there have been studies on more systemic approaches to managing animal populations. Things like changing how/where food waste is stored.

Would you oppose lethal approaches to rodent control if they were more limited and directed? For example, a warehouse getting a cat or setting out some mouse traps.

That's not to say it isn't a handy thing to have running, it looks like a crew of 4-6 persons with the right setup for folding and packing boxes could probably keep up with the machine as it is running in the video, so as all things in business it's gonna be a cost-benefit calculation that makes the decision.

Fuck, I live in rat heaven- chicago. One sneaked into my bedroom last polar votex. Never knew my sweetest gentle cat had such vicious killer instinct. Flew straight out from the kitchen table and bit its neck and then proceeded to torment the poor thing for next 1/2 hr before I rescued the rat, picked it up with towels(blood still dripping) and threw it in garbage bin outside.

I decided that night to move the fuck out of chicago and will be moving out end of this year.
Yep. The slide is completely wrong. It is showing low-level architecture details that would be 100% identical between the two cases. Volatile changes nothing on that list.

Volatile just makes sure the compiler bothers. Otherwise, a pair of writes to the same memory location could be optimized by eliminating the first write. Volatile makes the compiler do that. Of course, the CPU itself may then do this optimization, so volatile is thus not good enough for IO.
If you have good reasons to ignore them they probably already know them.

It’s useful to know details such as these, but the bigger problem is that the audience that most “enjoys” and retweets this stuff honestly doesn’t care that it is false.

I personally know people that, when provided clear evidence of entirely false and manipulative stories will justify them by saying, “well, this story may not be true, but there are a lot of stories like this that you haven’t seen which are true”.

The point is, they believe what they want to believe, and no amount of proof to the contrary will change their mind. In fact, they often just double down on their arguments.

Better to just call their main support line. Most likely they’ll never have heard of ‘some guy’ and they’ll tell you your iCloud is just fine.
the scary security applications were exactly my first thought too. it's funny because if they were to continue this research into the other direction (creating speech from faces) you could get useful applications that could help people come up with realistic voices for deaf/mute people (which sounds much less evil). Made me wonder if there was a financial angle to get the research money easier by focusing on the security.
Can you link to a hosted example of one of these. That would convince people nicely. Someone linked to one in a similar discussion yesterday but it didn't work anymore in currently patched browsers.
> Very few serious philosophers would disagree with Hume.

Relatively few serious philosophers disagree with the positive component of Hume's claim: that reason is (for many people, at least) the slave the passions. On the other hand, many philosophers disagree with the normative component: that reason ought to be the slave of the passions, or that it must be so. Hume himself has a thing or two to say about juxtaposing is-ought claims in such a manner ;)

Of course, you're absolutely right about non-philosophers using "reason" and "logic" as a rhetorical cudgels. We should recognize their (poetically) broken and faithless reasoning and point it out as such.
Again, I think you will ultimately conclude you would have been better off with MIT or similar, but only time will tell.

Actually this is an interesting solution. Half the problem is that the low paid workers basically have no bargaining power. In Switzerland the salaries of low skilled workers tend to grow in lockstep with the salaries of the high skilled workers. If the minimum wage was increased to the point that even low paid workers could afford to rent in SF then it will succeed or those jobs will be lost and SF collapses because all the cashiers, waiters, janitors and teachers have left the city.

This is a surprisingly small number for it to go unnoticed for a century. I'm pretty sure I wrote up a list of the first 50 or so powers of two to pass time in elementary school: if someone told me to, I could have checked the primality of numbers of the form 2^(2^n)+1 as well (though it'd be somewhat more tedious).
The comment about Rio vs X Windows would make a lot more sense if you could do the same things in Plan 9 as you could in X Windows. Motif was a giant sack of crap, but you could make an application that was roughly identifiable as a "computer application" of the time to a non-technical user, and even customize/internationalize it (more or less). You'd pretty much be hand-painting every last UI widget in Plan 9. Ridiculous.

Also this comparison was often used as a celebration of not having objects, C++, shared libs, etc. on Plan 9. Again, this would be less ridiculous if any of the large complex things done on other systems that merited shared libs had ever been done at all on Plan 9.

Unfortunately, many of the good ideas in Plan 9 sank alongside this. If they had made "APE" a first-class project they wouldn't have been swivelling back and forth from non-Plan 9 boxes to use the web and the better ideas might have grown into something. :-(
It's a good reminder that you can't just build the registration and on-boarding processes to filter out spammers.

You have to ensure that the damage is limited and reversible even if your trusted users (or worse, staff) are hacked or turn malicious. Though this system is usually harder to build and generalize.
> possibly have other unforseen effects

possibly? besides, as the sibling comment notes, making it impossible for anyone to rent?

a few more seconds of thought notes that it would also cause troubles for anyone inheriting a home. want to keep grandma's house until you can retire and move into it? nope, can only own one house, got to sell it off.

want to move from one city to another, but you're having troubles selling your current house? nope, just got to auction it off and take whatever you get before you're allowed to leave.
PCI isn't x86, and x86 isn't PCI. PCI itself, for example in a PCI-to-PCI bridge chip, can do store buffering and read prefetches. The PCI specification lays out what you must to to suppress this.

There are at least 5 different sets of rules for ordering on x86, due to memory types. It's in the Intel manual, along with a table that shows how they interact with each other.

Well that’s great, thanks!

So it (at a high level, barely read place) sounds like standard fertilizer proves to have negative effects at scale when used where there might be the need for methane breakdown.

Do I have that about right? I’ll have to read that at length later, but it seems so simple that I feel I have it wrong. Because otherwise it seems like an easy fix—even if it means production has to decrease and price has to go up for cattle meats.

Presumably the qualifiers are there to distinguish it from a more limited write primitive, which can still be quite useful.
Well, that's kind of the point: Despite the age, OS-updates to it shall make it work just like any new device, except for being slower. If features (that are also present in the older device) don't work at all instead of just slow, that's fragmentation.

You should upgrade an old device because you need a new feature or you want more speed a modern device can offer you, but having to abandon the device because it doesn't work properly anymore should not be an option you're forced to consider, and that's the point, the vendors do force this upon you to drive their sales.
The sizing numbers are also just nonsense marketing. They stopped meaning anything in particular a long time ago. Intel's '10nm' and TSMC's '7nm' are about the same size.

They can be used to make any modern OS and browser as full of holes as Windows 98.
> It is showing low-level architecture details that would be 100% identical between the two cases.

To be as charitable as I can possibly be, the only part that could theoretically make sense is that the compiler could emit non-temporal store instructions to bypass the cache. I know compilers currently don't do that for volatile, but I don't know why.
> I feel like the entire "PC enthusiast" review space has dropped the ball on hardware vulnerabilities. Reevaluating performance between microcode and OS patches is an afterthought, and when a new CPU hits the market the numbers are presented without the obvious disclaimer that these performance gains may evaporate within months.

If you want useful benchmarks that show the performance impact, go to phoronix.

"PC Enthusiast" websites care about gaming performance and single user desktop performance, and always have. This has been the same since I started following things when the fastest CPU available was a 300 MHz Pentium 2. Imagine how amazed we all were by the 1 GHz Slot A Athlon.
Your last paragraph makes little sense. You can advocate for a world where software shouldn't be patented, while still respecting existing IP laws.

If Disney is offering a service for a cheap 6.99 why do people stop using netflix?

Disney has content for kids and superhero fans. This is not a netflix replacement but replacing whatever was in place before.

Stock prices are popularity contests and Netflix may take a hit but Disney is undercutting the high prices on Disney/Marvel content it charges now and longterm it might be better if they merged with a studio offering more adult material.

"Netflix changed how we watch TV, but it didn’t really change what we watch…"

It changed what I watched. Netflix doesn't even offer most network shows in my country so I stopped watching a lot of those shows.
The difference is that those faceless accounts are in many occasions coming from foreign entities. Some of whom have no motivation other than to sow discord and cause chaos.

And nobody is attributing right wing success purely to bots. That's just some strawman that you invented. The issue is that is a significant factor and is causing polarisation and distrust in institutions. And you need those instutitions to work in order to solve the hardest problems e.g. mass migration, ageing population, climate change etc.
>> In our experimental section, we mention inferred demographic categories such as "White" and "Asian". These are categories defined and used by a commercial face attribute classifier (Face++), and were only used for evaluation in this paper.

So the software accurately depicts the race of a person according to what some other software has determined their race to be? This is so circular it is laughable. I cannot wait to see how many L's I need to mispronounce for this thing to assume I'm an Asian from the Bronx, or how many stutters are needed before it thinks I'm an octogenarian.

I'm reminded of the similar tool that could identify sexual orientation from a photo. It only worked on those who fit certain stereotypical behaviors, persons who actively self-identified as being in a particular category. When tied to immutable characteristics (skull dimensions) it fell apart.
Lets say it cost consumers $100.

After Carbon tax, company gets $20 tax. Price becomes $120. Government says to consumer, here's $20. Consumer and company see no difference. Government cost goes up to maintain the scheme.

That interpretation of those slides is incorrect. "volatile" means nothing more than "ensure that a store instruction is issued". It absolutely does not bypass any of the mechanisms listed. Write a test program and look at the assembler output on multiple architectures for proof. (Or look at the intermediate output from Clang.)

Looking at the formatting on the actual slides, I think the 1st is meant to be a question, and the 2nd is the answer. That the first contains the word "volatile" and the second doesn't looks to me like an editing error; they probably both said "volatile" at one time (or didn't) and the proof failed to update one when updating the other.
