That website looks like an affiliate marketing cash grab site from the early 2000s. I know that I should probably do some proper research but it was so off-putting that I'm just going to give up right away and call it a waste of time and/or a scam.
Ok seriously, you read the article right? And its really just a summary of the work of fiction that is coming out in book form, and in that fiction the people in the story all agree that using a nuclear weapon on the remaining shard is their last and only option. To be clear, I didn't write the book, I was suggesting (what appears to be a way to cynical :-) a coda where a billionaire with a penchant for making money in unconventional ways, exploits the situation. He thus saves the world according to what the book postulates is the best strategy and he makes a ton of money.

That said, I agree with you, its stupid to blow up an incoming asteroid so that it can basically shred all of the satellites in orbit and cause a Kessler cascade and make it difficult if not impossible to put things in orbit for decades. But in defense of my comment, you have to work within the confines of the story, that is the rule of improv.
I'd find it funny if the US proved uncapable to hit the damn thing and Russia just throws a makeshift deflection apparatus at it that basically makes use of angular momentum for the task (Soyuz™ tech!) and just keeps burning itself to death on the asteroid's surface. The result would be bipartisan gratitude to Russia, while putting Rachel Mathews out of a job for good. The potential hilarity of the future is literally endless, even without an asteroid on collision course.
From my understanding the problem isn't with the architecture, but with manufacturing. AMD is about to release 7nm CPUs manufactured by TSMC, meanwhile Intel only recently sorted out its 10nm issues and 7nm is scheduled for 2021 if everything goes well.

Dont forget that you can prolong any sentence by creating re-offenses. The only rehabilitation you should be interested is in people who are unable to do usefull work for you- so back-problems, leg-problems and shoulder-problems which make you useless for hard labour- are the fast way to release for "good behaviour" aka, economic uselessness as a slave.
To be honest, the real protests should begin as key organizers magically "disappear" over the next few months. I can only imagine the amount of intelligence Beijing has collected over these last few days and what sort of operations they have in mind.

The loss of face that they have suffered from this will not stand.
I also switched to Firefox recently on Windows 10. It can be quite slow compared to Chrome. But a freeze is very rare for me.
That's why I fly Harbour Air. Downtown Vic to Van in 25 minutes. I can't wait to fly electric.
> It doesn't freeze my machine to the point of rebooting, but a whole lot of seeing MacOS's "rainbow beachball."

Yikes, still? That exact thing happening way too often—with like a half-dozen very normal tabs open, and when FF wasn't even in focus—was what drove me first to Chrome (where I could open a stupid number of heavy tabs and not see problems as bad as FF), then later to Safari (for the double-digit-percentage better battery life than Chrome) on my Macbooks, and that was... wow, probably 2010 or so.
Yes, a direct byte buffer wrapped in class that ensures you can never copy the data somewhere else. That would also require cryptographic routines that can operate on bytebuffers or varhandles, which is quite an obstacle since many crypto libraries consume keys as byte[].
Now please expose a loadFromByteCode api so that we can target bytecode instead of transpiling to js.
I mean they're not almost certain to lose if they are the smarter analyst.

If they're not the smarter analyst then yeah they're going to lose i.e. not outperform the market. Of course that doesn't mean that they'll lose money.
Isn't this an allegory for global climate change?
I was talking about Julia, not Python. Python obviously has industrial grade NN libraries.
I'm a bit skeptical of your math. 700 megatons would be a bit over 10x the size of the biggest nuke ever detonated, which was still a city-killer, not a country-killer.
* Adding a new field or method to an object at runtime doesn't change the AST.

* You don't translate from bytecode to AST.

* In tiered JIT architectures--typical for dynamically-typed languages like JavaScript where as you point out effective types can mutate at runtime--most code is executed by an interpreter, not as compiled machine code.[1] Interpreters are more efficient when executing a bytecode than walking an AST.

* Translating an AST straight to machine code is much more difficult than translating a low-level intermediate representation, and such representations are often easy to express as simple bytecodes. Compilers like GCC and LLVM use intermediate representations: RTL and IR. Both are effectively assembly languages, and like all assembly languages trivial to express as bytecode. GCC also has GIMPLE, a higher-level intermediate representation earlier in the pipeline which expresses a generic AST. The fact that GIMPLE and RTL coexist drives home the point that you don't want to be translating tree-like representations straight to machine code.

* You don't need to take my word for this, or the word of anyone else. Every programmer should have experience writing parsers, compilers, and interpreters, regardless of whether they took a class or even went to university. By doing this most of the reasons for the way things are done will become immediately clear to you. Note that splitting strings with regular expressions does not count as parsing, not for these purposes. A good project, however, would be to write a regular expression parser, compiler, and interpreter. There are many examples to follow and you can copy their designs exactly; just don't copy+paste as actually going through the motions and understanding the complexities inherent in the implementations is how everything will become clear.

[1] How this mutation is handled and why tiered architectures are preferable is another topic entirely.

The most famous JS template engine of the early 2000 used to be literally called "mustache" because of it:

To those of you who disagree, please feel free to explain why.
I was talking about Julia, not Python. Python clearly has great NN libraries and great data science libraries.
Then why not abandon wasm, and make this byte code a target for llvm?
Dying and prospering malls are just a function of the income/wealth gap increasing. There used to be a much larger population that could afford discretionary spending at malls, or maybe didn’t have anything better to spend their money on like on demand media and video games at home. But now, only the richer areas can afford to pay for very marked up items that can sustain a mall environment.

You can search for an Apple Store or Nordstrom’s and find the wealthy part of town wherever the mall they are in is located. Also works with Whole Foods and a couple other stores.
Cool article.

To tell you the truth I didn't really know about this algorithm.

I just went at the problem function by function and this is what I ended up with.
Delve into settings or try and customize anything and it's much less user friendly.
Having been to Cinetopia many times, I just went to Alamo Drafthouse for the first time.
It was incomparably better. Cinetopia, back in it's heyday before they started showing ads and serving much worse food was trying really hard to be as good as Drafthouse but still didn't get there. Cinetopia of the last 4 years was easily worse than a newer Regal theater in a lot of ways. (standing in line to scan my QR code to print a ticket so I could stand in line to show my ticket? Please. And so many loud children.)
Drafthouse may just rekindle my love of actually going out to the movies.

Gotcha. But, if a user wanted to see reviews, they'd have to leave the cart, find the product page, and come back?

An aside: we had a pretty interesting discussion about how to remedy scatter brain and information overload (back in Dec 2014): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8710006

Great comments in that thread.
Sorry to break it to you, but last time I checked it wasn't climate if the weather goes "BOOM!"
For 20 years I couldn't make a Warcraft 2 clone because I just couldn't figure out A*. And now it turns out this Clojure program is probably doing just that! I can't wait to share this with my son. Having him help me port it to Lua might also end up teaching him a little Clojure too.
I personally use the stick bundle principle.
Each complex problem can be broken down to less complex issues
So you look at the less complex problems individually and break them down into more less complex problems until you can actually solve that less complex problem.
Others call the process divide and conquer, some call this process something else
My problem with Alamo is that if I drink beer, I’ll need to go pee about 45-60 mins later, so it basically guarantees that I’ll miss 3-5 minutes of the movie.

I would honestly go way more often if they had intermissions.

Intel controls the compilers. The compilers can do special things on Intel and make better code.

Just having a faster processor doesn't matter if most compiled code is slower on your processor...
> depends on how far the progression got

plastics aren't a natural progression. it is just as likely that the social and survival pressures were very different, and that the innovations were very different

and its just as likely that people merely got lucky with primitive rafts and canoes for long distance travel
PSA: please use clojure.edn/read-string instead of read-string. The latter can execute code when it parses the string (try running `(read-string "#=(println \"oops\")")`.
This is, give or take, what web assembly is supposed to do, no?
And it is already shipped in Safari 12.1 ( Which means many are already using it )

Time and Time again it seems WebKit are the only team that wants to make the Web with better Web Pages with javascript , All the others seems to want the Web to be Fat Apps.

In the hope of anyone in Safari team is reading it.

Please make the Tab Overview Cache the Thumbnail or in List format, currently pressing Tab Overview will reload all the tabs in the background. I don't know if this is for generating thumbnails or other reason. Something that kills my machine when I have 300 Tabs, most of them are "cold" and not loaded.
> You knowing that I eat 2 eggs in the morning when I don't want people to know is not you "stealing" information from me.

Correct, you don't necessarily have to "steal" that information to find it out.

If you hire me to cook to you breakfast with the understanding that your breakfast habits are confidential and I give that information away, then that is "stealing" information because I have a duty to keep that information private.

If I spy on you while you are eating and figure it out and give the information away, then I did not "steal" the information because I don't have a duty to keep that information secret.
Yea thats how it tied in with the over all microcombusters talk, they were using tiny swiss roll burners to power the nitinol motors. Due to liquid fuels having higher energy densities than batteries apparently they could go for much longer than their electrical counterparts even though they weren't as efficient.
Larger propellers are more efficient than smaller which could make a difference if each motor drives its own propeller.
No, Intel is not mid-cycle; they are still selling 2015 tech because they have failed to deliver on their roadmap for the last four years. In theory it's possible that they could have a great leap forward and catch up but it's more likely that it will take 3-4 more years to dig out of the hole.
The bytecode is an implementation detail that can, and does change. Making it an API would necessarily make changes (like this one) impossible.
https://malisper.me/debugging-lisp-part-1-recompilation/

That's a good example. When an error is signaled you're able to modify the program (via recompilation of functions, changing of values) and restart at a point you select. There are other things you can do, but this is a particularly powerful option.
Don't the existing plans to expose GC [1] and ECMAScript objects [2] to WebAssembly cover this?

Their sole innovation over that is that they realized neutrality and being a third party is valuable because of regulation. Haha, this is pretty clever.
> Thus BancList (spelling absolutely intentional, because even the K is regulated and I am absolutely not joking about that fact).

No, he's not joking. Even the font size is regulated. I ran into that as an employee of a commodities trader. I'm not sure if the choice of font is regulated but it wouldn't be surprising.
Simple in concept.

Don’t tell any of the criminals about banclist because it would be like shooting fish in a barrel for them.

Interesting read.

I'd always incorrectly assumed they'd started off with a modified IRC stack of sorts & am pleasantly surprised that it isn't the case.
They're island hoppers. Victoria to Saltspring would probably fit in that 9 minute threshold, and 30 minutes is about the longest flight they have.

Games require all of the latest technology and require maximum compatibility across all platforms.
I guess what I'm getting at is that it seems difficult to draw the line about what kind of business model you're trying to ban. How would you legislate the difference between water filters and inkjet printers? Even though yes, most of the nontrivial stuff is in the filters themselves, I would think the filter jug is subsidized in some form by the filter, no matter how small the amount.

Another example: Sony sold the PS3 at a loss and recouped the cost through games [1].

If you're concerned about the ecological cost, I think it's better to ban items based on ecological cost (when considering durability and whether it's consumed once or repeatedly) directly. There's no sense in banning certain good printers if they're actually durable. Even your concern with Keurig is not really caused by their base item, but the consumable, right? I think that's the current trend we're following with plastic bags and straws anyway.

Even in your perfect society there will still be unhappy people that want to do harm to others, and there are many ways to do mass violence without guns.

As a gmail user - good to hear this. In the long run trust is going to be a much more important commodity that letting a spam app into your gmail.

If you look at the service that want access to all your gmail data - many promise something "free" but then mine that data (in the fine print) to send you offers, alert you to "savings" etc.

I automatically turn down apps that say they need access to my entire google drive and all email. Why not just ask for permissions for a single app specific folder? Ie, fax apps -> they should just store inbound faxes into one folder rather than asking for full drive access.
I'm not arguing that it's not a problem. I'm just saying it's good for me, and I like it. I think it's entirely possible to believe something is suboptimal and wrong while also being happy that it benefits me.
Has this been covered in any articles? I can't say I've seen it.
> Time and Time again it seems WebKit are the only team that wants to make the Web with better Web Pages ( And we are far from perfecting it ), All the others seems to want the Web to be Apps.

I don’t see how this blog post supports that view, since it’s talking about optimizing JavaScript.
Just say no to zuckbucks.
I wouldn't look at it that negatively. Programming is like speaking a language, I don't mean what programming language you "speak" (ie, c++, or java, or whatever), but how you're used to speaking in it.

Like real language, you probably prefer certain idioms, you have your own style and you know certain words better than others. This is similar to how we program, we know certain algorithms, yet are oblivious to others, we have our favorite abstractions and have our etc.

There are downsides to these habits for both spoken language and computer programming languages, no doubt, you can get stuck in a rabbit hole without seeing you're in one. In the end, a similar approach works for both, read and write widely if you want to be great at these, meet different groups, work on uncomfortable projects, you know the drill.

Just like how you expand your language and therefore your world; socially.
Density is measured differently by different fabs, i.e. you can't do direct nm comparison, same as you can't do direct MHz comparison between different CPU vendors. Supposedly Intel 10nm and other 7nm are roughly on par.

My understanding is that Intel's manufacturing lead is basically gone now, and with Zen 2 so too will their uarch lead (IPC, AVX throughput, ...) disappear.
Yeah trampoline is kind of rare.

You only see it in cases where some functions are mutually recursive.
> Who exactly was "in charge" in 2017 and 2018?

Probably the party that controlled both houses of Congress as well as the White House.
Must watch: GE's smart light bulb reset process is a masterpiece of insanity
I’d be interested in hearing more about this. I often get the “so much stuff to do that it’s overwhelming” feeling, which creates an unproductive feedback cycle.
IIRC, Intel’s 10nm is measured differently than TSMC’s 7nm, so they are actually more or less at the same node. By some measurements, Intel 10nm is actually smaller than TSMC 7nm. I think some significant part of AMD’s manufacturing advantage also comes down to the fact that their “chiplet” architecture is proving to be easier to scale than Intel’s less modular designs.
I wonder if burnout isn't the result of your brain associating work with failure or some other deep-seated negative emotion.

I've noticed that I can get my brain back on the right track by completing a few tasks that have a high probability of success and a clearer link between effort and reward.

I devised this plan on the basis that working for nothing seemed to be the crucial factor.
LLVM bitcode is CPU and ABI dependent, and isn't even stable between LLVM releases.
One problem is, "might not need again" is self-fulfilling. When you're developing something new, you mostly rely on what you happen to know.

What you know is a Turing-complete subset with all the platform escape hatches you need, so you're able to get your stuff working.
It's not a question. We passed the point where children have less than a 50% chance of being wealthier than their parents sometime around 1980:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/aparnamathur/2018/07/16/the-u-s...

Countless studies show it's basically impossible to live on minimum wage jobs anywhere in the US now. I'm more than 50% confident that a quick internet search will show them so I won't bother listing them here.

The inheritance tax is low and in constant danger of being eliminated by the Republican party. All income should be taxed the same way (meaning we should eliminate capital gains tax and other unearned income taxes) and income brackets need to be shifted to account for inflation. Payments shouldn't begin until around the $30k/yr threshold, the average career job at $60-80k should pay about 25% tax, and the top income tax should be near 50% above about $125k. The social security tax cap at $132,900 should be eliminated. This is my mathematical optimum, you might have your own, but a fact of life today is that current tax policy is anything but fair or ideal. It's been coopted by lobbyists and special interests and only works for millionaires.

UBI creates wealth because currently we have no "human potential" gross national product (GNP) metric. The majority of jobs today are a waste of human resources. For example, is a human life worth more than its potential to flip burgers? The answer is self-evidently yes, so that means that the fast food industry subsidizes its profits by under-employing its workers and depending on government handouts in the form of food stamps and welfare. We can repeat that analysis for pretty much every industry and see that underemployment is one of the great problems of our time.

Even if we use the conservative measure of part time workers who want full time work, it tends to hover between 12 and 18% in the US:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/205240/us-underemploymen...

But I'd argue that it's really much higher than than. Is anyone really more than 6 hours productive in an 8 hour workday? That puts underemployment at more like 25%. If we count all the people with degrees working at non-career jobs, or hackers/makers/inventors valued only for their ability to make money for their employers, then I think it's around 50%.

UBI gives workers a lifeline out of underemployment. Then they can start their own businesses, which leads to more employment and productivity. If our GNP is $20 trillion, then I would expect UBI to gradually raise that to perhaps $40 trillion (in today's dollars) and beyond over a decade or two if underemployment is 50%.

I tried to keep this brief but truthfully I could go on indefinitely. My personal underemployment hovers near 100% because I've never gotten ahead of the curve enough to make any of the inventions I'd like to. I spent many years of my life thinking about how to automate the jobs like painting houses and moving furniture I held that paid above minimum wage but had no upward mobility.
Next time Stewart Butterfield co-founds a games company, it'll be one to watch out for.
I agree with this. About eight years ago, when AMD premiered their "bulldozer" architecture, it was clear that even their best technology was years behind Intel.

Now the situation has flipped, and Intel is years behind.

"The compilers", in plurality? They obviously control their own Intel C++ and Fortran compilers, but is there evidence of them "controlling" any others?

It's not like GCC or LLVM are blind to uarch differences.
Actually yes. Its more of a "he/she asked for it" mentality in a small town and taking things out back / having throwdowns is typical.

"Attention Hijacking" apps and websites along with FOMO leads to over-consumption of digital information or even digital addiction. It is subtle, micro habit forming that turns into part of daily routine. Overtime, it turns into "learned helplessness."
