>You've broken the social compact to the point where you need to pay dearly.

The theory of the social contract is also a very liberal view.

>All the while, their dead victims, their raped and permanently-violated victims get no justice other than knowing that the evil person is behind bars.

That's the thing, though; justice is qualitative, not quantitative - why would you suppose that knowing the criminal is dead offers so much more solace than knowing they're behind bars? Isn't the whole puzzle and mystery of justice knowing how to balance fairness and the desire for retribution? Why are you assuming that retribution is the only relevant factor here?

>It's intellectually dishonest to say the death penalty should not be used for heinous crimes.

No it's not.
I was wondering about this.

The majority of my emails are between myself and a business, currently letting google track my purchases, holidays, event booking etc by reading the responses I get.

If I stopped using gmail, how would they track that kind of stuff?

Few businesses are going to be using consumer level gmail.
Great timing. Just lost my grandmother (she was 92), and now she's getting cremated next week. I can really use that info to detect suspicious scam.
Yes, as with every model. Thanks for the acknowledgement!
Antitrust discovery will be juicy. It’s going to make the Microsoft witch-hunt look tame in comparison.
It's a solved problem scientifically. It's nowhere close to being a solved problem politically.

Many proponents of the death penalty want to see pain and suffering. They aren't remotely interested in humane execution.
What is your goal in bringing up these unrelated massacres? Neither one is the same as the Tiananmen massacre, as in neither of those two cases was the government killing its own people in response to peaceful protest.
>"These laws"

OK grandpa, demonstrate you know what the law does and maybe you'll earn a response on the merits. This is just empty nonsense. Who are you quoting?

I find this sentiment amusing but inaccurate. going from 2 to 3 isn't that hard and going from python to something else also isn't that hard either. If there are tests that should handle all of the compatibility checks for a full rewrite.

It will be interesting to see if Jim Keller comes up with something for intel too, now that he's there and no longer with AMD.
I feel like I'm not "more creative" but instead, "more likely to create."

Completing things without becoming overwhelmed by the (too) many other creations is the challenge. The secondary challenge is implementing a regimen and medical plan that helps balance it all.

Ritalin is such a short acting drug (they say 4 hours, but really it is 3 if you are lucky), and it helps to take it when needing to crunch, and skip it when needing to create. It's a real bummer if you are on it all day every day. Where it is legal, 50/50 thc/cbd pills have a better balance and the beneficial effects last longer. You don't have to take so much you get buzzed any more than you do on Ritalin, and it doesn't play tricks with your heart rate.
> then they have no business offering it!

Okay so the advertising changes to be from "X speed" to "best effort capped at X speed" -- nothing about internet service actually changes -- you're probably still mad. I feel like in a technical forum we should know better that such guarantees are impossible on any shared medium, not just oversubscribed ones.

> Charging more to, or placing time restrictions on, certain classes of customers who consume large quantities is a key part of that strategy.

You mean like how large ISPs want to throttle and charge video services more?

> water utility also doesn't charge a different rate depending on whether you're using the kitchen vs bathroom

Your water utility might not but your electric company does in certain areas buy putting special meters on your large appliances. It's typically done for a discount to incentivize running them off-peak but the idea is the same.

> doesn't attempt to collect and then sell such data to third parties

Careful with that assumption, that's exactly what the smart meters are for that are currently being rolled out.

Harmonix doesn't really like people getting those stems out of the games, though (it can affect their ability to license music going forward). I'm part of the GH community, and when RB4 was ripped, HMX got pissed. Admittedly, the people downloading the rips largely didn't care about analyzing the music, they just wanted to play RB4 songs for free, so I totally understand why they'd be pissed.

They care far less about the stems they put out in the pre-RB days, in GH1/2/80s. But they were mostly covers in the first place (except for the bonus songs, and a small handful of main setlist songs).
This might be an unfair comparison — the AMD numbers are from a single benchmark, and the article is comparing this against the aggregated scores of the i9-9980XE. A few i9-9980XE multi-core scores on Geekbench reach higher than 60k as well, with the highest being 77554 multi-core.
3950X and the single socket versions of new EPYC chips aren't NUMA. Instead of each CPU die having its own memory controller there is a central I/O die with an IF link to each CPU die.
This was true up until now, but the upcoming 3900X and 3950X have 2 separate dies ("chiplets"). I assume this means it will have the same architecture as the current TR 2920X and 2950X.

Edit: opencl post above says apparently not, it's a different memory architecture.
@aphyr I love reading these discussions about Jepsen! How would an individual contributor get involved with Jepsen and contribute during free time? Is most of the work related to adding public Jepsen tests for each database or is there work available with the framework as well? I'd love to learn more about Jepsen and distributed systems testing!
Well, I mean, ideally our prison system shouldn't aim to be cruel and miserable, but we can't exactly set the convicted serial killers free, now can we?

Shouldn't we aim to give them the most freedom we can, though? The ability to ideally, in a restricted environment, continue to read and learn and grow, or if that won't satisfy them, to remove themselves from the situation?
No, the standard for important journalism isn't surprise though.
I think: Instagram doesn’t allow links in image comments/captions, but does allow a link on your bio/profile page. So people end up sharing links by setting their profile link, and then commenting “link in bio.”

So the pitch here is, I think—make a full website to accompany your instagram posts, just as easily as you posted the photo itself.

I currently use a dumb phone that I got in early 2011. I really wouldn't mind upgrading, but the only dumb phones that are Verizon compatible seem to be flip phones, and I really don't want a flip phone. I honestly rarely use the thing anymore other than to text my mom good morning and call someone maybe once a month to verify plans.

You can certainly mitigate and compensate in cases of false prosecution. This doesn't usually happen, but it could.

And it's still less irreversible - to them, and to family and friends - than killing them.
> Thanks. So because of in-order retirement, the ROB is indeed limited to holding only consecutive µops. And since nothing can be executed until it is put in the ROB, this means that there is a hard limit on the distance in µops between the last unretired µop and what can possibly be executed.

Yes. The ROB holds even things that will never be executed, such as nops and zeroing idioms.

Note that the ROB is not really the bad guy here: if you invent some way to make the ROB retire out-of-order to break that restriction, you'll just immediately run into the PRF limit, since almost all pending instructions need a destination register. Since these values are all live (from CPU's point of view) until all older instructions have retired, you'll get the same kind of limit from the PRF.

The PRF is a big structure using lots of area and power, so probably the ROB size is kind of determined from the PRF size: how big are going to make the PRF? X? OK, let's make the ROB size X * 1.5 since then the ROB will rarely limit performance. Note: we know the ROB increased dramatically in size from 224 to 354 in SNC, but we don't yet know how big the reg files are!

There are good papers out there about super-high ILP designs if you are interested about how this kind of stuff can be solved, but there are many problems.

> Does this also mean that a load is only ever retired after it has been successfully fulfilled? I haven't understood the role of retirement for loads and stores.

Yes. Loads and stores both go in the ROB, and also in the load/store buffers, which are in-order just like the ROB.

A load can't retire until it completes: only then are the physical resources, like the register it writes to and the load buffer entry, able to be freed.

Note that this is a huge difference between loads and prefetches: prefetches can retire immediately (well as soon as the load address has been calculated). They just kick off the load in the memory subsystem and then their work is done.

Stores are different: they can retire as soon as the store address and store data are known (i.e., as soon as their inputs are available). At this point they become so-called senior stores: stores which have retired, and hence are non-speculative, but haven't become visible to the rest of the system yet. They must eventually become visible, which means that on an an interrupt this part of the store buffer is preserved or drained, never thrown away like the rest of the OoO buffers. When the time is right (write?) they commit to L1.
It may boost to a higher frequency but lower number of cores to have the same TDP.
I just googled you and found nothing negative about you at a cursory glance at your first page of google results, unless I searched the wrong terms. I mean I found a little civil dispute about noise complaint (assuming that's you) but I can't see how anybody would care about that.

I think you're overthinking the importance/impact of this to other people because you're falling prey to whatever the fallacy is called where one tends to expect people to care more about themself/pay closer to attention to one's self than they actually would. Like when you have a pimple if you normally have clear skin and you don't want to go outside because of it even though most people would hardly notice.
This is lovely, thank you for your work. I will be forwarding this to a number of colleagues.
Richard Brody is a guilty pleasure of mine. He's such a grumpy old man when it comes to film criticism. Reading his review of Avengers is like hearing someone kvetch on the subway, except with innumerable references to Godard, Brecht, and Marx. Every film concept, premise or plot has been done better, but just in a more independent, more obscure, more directed-by-Jean-Luc-Godard fashion. Occasionally he'll toss out a glowing review but it's often with a heavy layer of political commentary that I'm not entirely sure was necessarily intended by the filmmaker (not that this is a necessary condition for the film to be political in nature). See his Us Review for that

One level of auteur theory that I've wondered about is its political ramifications. For one, it's not a very communist theory. There's no real collectivism or equality in the idea of a singular mind behind a film. Which is probably why Godard (partially) rejected the theory later in his collaborations with Gorin. Also why Third Cinema purposefully distinguished itself from the tradition of French New Wave (a tradition of un-quality?) by categorizing it as the "Second Cinema".

Likewise, auteurship was and is a title mostly populated by white, male directors. Oh sure, there's a few notable exceptions: Agnes Varda, Claire Denis, Ousmane Sembène, etc. Nonetheless, it's important to question whether auteur theory succeeded due to the power already allocated to the canonically white, male director. And whether auteurship erases the contributions made by the editor and screenwriter, positions usually more diverse in gender and race (for instance, Marcia Lucas in Star Wars and Taxi Driver).

Personally I view auteur theory as a necessary weapon against the studio system and against the "tradition of quality", but not necessarily a theory that reflects the state of an actual film production. Truffaut, Godard, et al used it as a banner to wage war against the powers above them—producers, financiers, etc—but in doing so they also negated the work of those below them, the grips and gaffers, the cinematographers and editors. I don't believe this was their intention, but hey, they did make a theory about how filmmaking is all one dude's creation. Not exactly hard to see how that'd ignore other people's contributions.

Apollo GraphQL (YC S11)
Many cities on the Chinese mainland are nearly as wealthy as Hong Kong but none of them are remotely as "international".

And asking "why are [Hong Kongers] not fighting for better rule of law in all of China? Where is the solidarity?" either betrays a serious lack of understanding of how the Chinese political system works or is a question asked in bad faith.
Author of the subj didn’t even bother to Google that issue, which is solved by the way.

TDP doesn't tell you what the actual power consumption in practice will be. It is defined in some weird ways (different between manufacturers), and generally not intuitive. I would recommend to avoid trying to read too much into the TDP, wait for actual measurements of power consumption.

My understanding is that typically the TDP is designed to fit to the base clock of the processor, and doesn't necessarily include the amount of power necessary to achieve the boost clocks.

You have to look at this issue from a Hong Kong resident point of view (I am not a Hong Kong resident). Since the handover to the China government, the average living cost is higher than ever before [1], real estate price skyrocket due to huge amount of investment from China[2]. Some Hong Kongers
may blame these issues to "mainlanders" for "disrupting" their live.

Also in 2013 "mainlanders" rush to Hong Kong to buy milk powder due to the poisonous milk power scandal in China,
causing a shortage of milk power in Hong Kong [3]. I certainly wouldn't be happy if suddenly I can't buy milk power for my child because my neighbour had bought all of them.

All organizations, no matter if they are public or private, need checks and balances at the top.

I predict that legislation will become the de facto check on FB and there will be many negative unintended consequences for the rest of the tech industry, harming companies who are ethical stewards of privacy.
Ah cool, didn't know that.
Unless that changes from year to year (NYC reports this year, but not next), this should still be representative of the overall trend.

Interest groups, although well meaning, are like internal organizations preparing next year’s budget. Borderline issues cease to be borderline. (Was it domestic violence, was it hate? Obviously there is potential for both, but there’s interpretative subjectivity)

Does anyone know how these CPUs compare with Spectre/Meltdown protections enabled?
I've been hosting NextCloud on a $10/month Digital Ocean VPS for maybe 8-10 months now, and I've been super pleased with it. I'm not much of a devops person, but I found it fairly easy to set up and configure, and it runs smoothly enough that most of the time it's indistinguishable from using third-party cloud file sync service. I occasionally ssh in to apply updates (and renew the Let's Encrypt cert, since I've been having trouble getting it to renew through cron and haven't spent much time debugging why), but that's about it.

> Also, the type of militant white nationalism you saw at Charlottesville has definitely not had any real influence on the administration (just like how antifa protesters don't have any influence on the Democratic party).

I'm honestly not sure if you're being sarcastic here.
Rust doesn't sound too unrealistic, given that they were one of its first big commercial users.
I can see it from the perspective of "well, now others can have that same joy and accomplishment of rediscovery", which is a sort of a silver lining, I guess. But I agree, such losses have far more negatives than positives.
And how is that an issue for type checking, would you elaborate?
> I must add my now-standard disclaimer, which has evolved over the series of so-called "compatible" reviews I have amassed recently. I have yet to see a compatible that was truly 100% compatible.

And this is why the Mindset (and many other almost-but-not-quite-100% IBM compatible products like it) failed: because they didn't realize that 100% compatibility with the IBM PC actually was possible. Compaq had proven that all the way back in 1982, three years before this article was written, with the release of the Compaq Portable (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq_Portable).

Compaq had realized that the only truly proprietary component in the IBM PC was its BIOS; to speed development and keep costs down, IBM had chosen to use off-the-shelf components for everything else. So Compaq launched a clean-room reverse-engineering project to clone the IBM BIOS. That cost them a pretty penny, but once it was done they had the key to a truly IBM-compatible machine.

By 1984 -- again, a year before this article -- chipmaker Phoenix Technologies had also reverse-engineered the BIOS, and unlike Compaq they were willing to license their design out (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Technologies#Cloning_t...). So making a "100% compatible" PC clone became something anyone could do, just by cutting a check to Phoenix.

So for companies like Mindset, coming to market in 1985 with a kinda-sorta-IBM-compatible machine meant coming to market too late. With multiple companies already selling 100% compatible machines and lots more on the way, kinda-sorta compatibility was no longer good enough.
The issue with that is we can make 0 assumptions about the culture we are trying to communicate with so pictograms aren't a good medium to begin with but let's set that aside. Consider maybe they don't even read left to right or top to bottom so now without carefully making sure they know how time is represented your message can be interpreted as one of resurrection and healing maybe?
Yes, AWS MFA is very poorly implemented.
Not when it’s the entire world against them. Public opinion is overwhelming now but it will only get worse with time. I personally don’t think it’s all on Zuckerberg but the politics will make it so.
AWS and Azure have had EPYC instances available for a while, so the math (presumably) works out for cloud operators.
The Core i9-9980XE pulls from 199W->245W depending on the workload and AVX instructions being used under stock settings. The Ryzen is listed as a 105W part, although when overclocked, I'm sure it will pull more than that.

Not only that, but it is impossible to tell if the initiative fulfilled it's outcome. This allows for endless riddance.

"Deal with it" seems like an awfully shallow and short-sighted suggestion for those concerned with their privacy. Could you elaborate?
Playstation 5 will also be based of Ryzen gen2 CPU and Navi GPU, both AMD.
I guess you are not aware that at this point everything suggest that the upcoming AMD 7nm processors are significantly more efficient that similar performance intel processor.

The Ryzen processor is 105w vs. the significantly slower intel processor is 165w. Additionally also AMD's TDP numbers are much more accurate in terms of real peak usage than intel. So almost certainly Zen 2 processor will have a much better performance/power ratio than corresponding intel one moving forward. That was definitely not the case for AMD in their last generation.
This thread hits home. I switched jobs a few years ago because the IT policies on workstations were being ratcheted down to make my job as a developer difficult to impossible.

Now, the company I work for, ostensibly a _software_ company, got its ISO certifications, which meant policies and procedures that make developing hard or impossible again.

How does a software business _successfully_ implement stringent access controls while still allowing for efficient software development? I'd like to see/hear what works.
The Zen 2 16 core chip is 105 watt TDP. The chips its wiping the floor with are 165 TDP. TDP doesn't necessarily correlate with real world usage, but benchmarks show that AMD is much better at their chips running closer to TDP than Intel chips are, so the gap is probably actually wider. The strength of Intel chips is being able to pump a lot of power through them to hit higher clock rates.

It sounds like you're saying performance/power is a benefit for Intel, possibly based upon the history of AMD chips, but that line of thought has been wrong since the Ryzen architecture.
