You could almost be me. I got my first modem in 1983. 300bps, like your nick says. I ran self-written BBS in 1985, and then a rewrite in 1986-1987. By 1992 I was in computer science. I poked into BBSes here and there. There was still some activity, but not like before. It was fewer hobbyists and more businesses (like computer stores) running those things. People dialing up to big services like AOL was still a thing.
AMD switched to TAGE for Zen 2, so I don't know if neural networks are "the future of branch prediction" or just a neat diversion.
Hydrogen is explosive -- the flame front and thermal expansion exceed the speed of sound -- at concentrations from 18% - 60%. It is flamable at concentrations as low as 4% to as high as 75% (and to 95% in a pure oxygen mix).

Hydrogen very much can and does go "boom".

OOP code bases tend to get messy with age, as layer upon layers of abstraction are added, as programmers come and go. State is fragmented and hidden in various places. If you need to solve a bug or understand what happens with state on a particular point in time, you have to do some diffing in a lot of different places.

Imperative programming coupled with data oriented design and Entity Component System tend to be much cleaner and a lot more efficient. Instead of thinking of how to apply a pattern to complicate things a bit, you focus on the problem to solve.
Same, but I also noticed more 500 errors (and a few strange bugs, but that happens to any software).

I guess it's expected when a product moves faster that it breaks a little more often (and since I use it a lot, I have many occasions to be there at the wrong time), so I'm not worried [yet] and am just glad we get new features.
Sounds like an interesting situation, got any good links on the topic?

Yeah, I thought that point might be confusing because I wasn't clear. You're right limiting the scope could reduce dev time and it might often be a welcome suggestion. It doesn't always go that way though and some proposals for modifying the functionality are costly because they can require re-architecting the design even before development starts.

Usually, lightening the ship by throwing functionality overboard in a panic doesn't happen until around half way through a project, but what I was referring to was the sort of impractical proposals that come from non-developers about how to reduce development time.

This part matters
> but now I think we're reaching the point where single thread performance is so important

Ever since Denard scaling stopped, the biggest boosts to performance have been in increasing the parallelization opportunity, both at the SIMD level and at the multi-core level. Admittedly, working in HPC gives me a biased view, but everyone I see has resigned themselves to processors ceasing to give meaningful boosts to single-threaded performance.

Moreover, the ceiling you could get in boosting single-threaded performance with a perfect branch predictor (for conditional branches) over current state-of-the-art is around 4%. There's just not a lot of upside to be had, and even just using the extra space for another core looks preferable at that low ceilings. Extra area for the branch predictor is likely to go to better indirect branch prediction (including virtual function calls), which are increasingly important in modern workloads, and where there is a much larger headroom for performance improvement.

I'll also add that the effectiveness of neural nets in modern machine learning contexts has come from making them big and deep, and deep means adding latency to the branch predictor, which is not what you want (especially because you want to know ASAP if you need to prefetch a different I-cache line).

Distance from employment centres is a factor where all else is equal but nobody is going to live in an inner city ghetto just because it is in the inner city. In practice, everybody are trying to live in an area where the majority is their own race and their own culture. Always was like that always will be, once that is satisfied they try to find the closest place to the city that they can afford. Small minorities might not be the majority in any area because they don't have the numbers but they will still concentrate to the same area.

I wouldn't call large parts of SF itself urban because the density is so low.

What I would like to know is how psychosis and the brain works. I've heard from sources who work in the field that an overdosis of chronic stress and lack of sleep can also cause a cognitive decline that ultimately leads to an irreperably psychotic state without any hope for recovery.

In such a state people are sincerely believing that, for example, aliens exist and they are the only humans and everyone else is a robot.

I've heard that people who develop stress/sleep deprived related psychosis over a period of two years are already sensitive towards developing it. The same people also should not take drugs, for example, such as weed.

My question simply is: when would it become burnout and when would it become psychosis?

Unfortunately military ships are expensive and have strict schedules. You may be able to drive your car to a shop any day to diagnose a sensor error but military vessels dont have that luxury.

To my knowledge the detection systems (for detecting ships ect) were either not calibrated/failed making a ship impossible to detect. There may have been a serious lack of training spotting sensor failure too. The ship was due for repairs and had been put off. Also, according to SOP there should have been someone making rounds and looking out and identifying ships. Because honestly how do you miss a huge cargo ship lit up like a Christmas tree

There were multiple critical failures leading to the crash. Bad training, poor maintenance, and lax procedural compliance.

This often includes either a) full-time staff, in the case of building with doormen or maintenance staff, or b) payback of construction loans or mortgages taken to pay for maintenance.

But: do you live in a house? I assume you haven’t had to maintain it much yet...new roof, new heating, new sewer line, renovations, etc. all cost tons of money. I’d be surprised if for a house > 50 years old, you’re paying less than a few hundred a month on maintenance on average.

So you aren't wrong that google is built on the shoulders of giants, but I will point out that every single company today running their SaaS offering on top of linux/BSD is doing the exact same thing.

The only reason Linux is as mainstream as it is today, is exactly because of this freedom to leverage the code. You even point out that the cause for Golang's success is for precisely the same reason. Overall opensource isn't about making money, it has never been about making money. Its been about making an impact, and bettering the world around us all by giving a piece of technology to be freely used by everyone. There are a variety of opensource licenses that can/will protect your code from any/all closed source uses, for example AGPL explicitly states if your application so much as interacts with the code over a TCP connection or furthermore a single UDP packet it must be opensource as well. However you will rarely see libraries/applications using this license. Why you might ask? The answer is simple, it reduces the impact that code can have.

Really at the end of the day, it comes down to a choice of the developer(s), do you want to make money? i.e. go the Microsoft/Apple route? or do you want to make an impact? i.e. go the Linux/BSD route?

Let me ask one final question, which of the above operating systems do you think are more widely used, or have changed the world in a more dramatic manner?
Ah, linux-man bites again: the Linux versions of `nftw` and `ftw` claim to be re-entrant, so I assumed that POSIX specified them as such. Looks like I was wrong about that.

That was practically a poster example to sell C++. Look, you can overload operators and get arrays with bounds checking, integers that trap overflows and so on.

Twenty years ago, C++ was still hot and there was a lot of interest in all sorts of techniques. Books, seminars, papers, blogs, you name it.

There is a way to use C++ template partial specialization to mimic the built-in conversion rules, like "int op long" promoting the left operan to "int". You can mirror the language in itself and bend the rules.

> Which one do you think is better for encouraging further action?

I can fairly easily imagine that the doom and gloom spin does better. The message that anti-deforestation efforts work and have been for decades likely does less to make the average person feel they should continue to do anything about it in their daily lives, since the current trend indicates everything will be fine. Instead, if you believe that the situation is dire, a person that otherwise would not care deeply about the problem might be more likely to take action.

I would argue that a combination of the two is most effective, if the primary goal is to encourage further action. A little doom and gloom by framing the current situation as an image people can understand ("a football pitch every minute") convinces people that there is still a significant problem, and then the hopeful aspect (that the trend actually shows a positive outlook) convinces them that any action they take will be useful.

This is a good primer for understanding the Spectre[0] issue. In a nutshell, Spectre is caused by the CPU keeping the branches in an unencrypted cache that is accessible from programs other than the one that generated the branch.

Their fix was to add an extra kernel check for unauthorized access, which is why it causes a huge performance hit. The real fix will be in the next generation of chips, which will either encrypt or at the least protect the branch cache from unauthorized access from other programs.

Possible problems sometimes cited re CSIRO aren't so much to do with bias, as political pressure from above - similarly to the way the Aus Treasury has been corrupted by the present federal gov.

It's a matter of what they are allowed to do (and report on) & under what conditions.

Experimental design for Reiki would be a big challenge. Without getting into a lot of details (that would sound outlandish anyway) much of these suggestions wouldn't work.

Whatever it is, Reiki is exquisitely sensitive to intention of the people involved. It only "cares" about healing. If your intention is to test Reiki, it won't work. Reiki doesn't care. If your intention is to heal people, it will work but you'll also heal the control group. There's no way to use Reiki not to heal some people, you see? You can't administer "placebo" Reiki.

> you could train a second group to be Reiki practitioners but change some detail that causes the Reiki beaming to not work

You couldn't though: if a student were worthy the "fake" training would work anyway; conversely a "real" training would not work for a student who wasn't worthy.

Like I said above, I don't think Reiki can be studied scientifically, although I'd like to try.
The problem with automation is that it works perfectly until it runs into that edge case which nobody thought about. The problem with the real world is that there are infinity edge cases.
hmm, you mean "\n" vs "\r\n"? ;-)
Another thing I would like to know is: how is stress associated with damage vs. relaxation?

Is it: 1 day stress means you need 1 day of relaxation and 40 days of stress means you need 40 days of relaxation? Or is the relationship quadratic or some square root or log?

e.g.

stress_in_days = days_of_recovery^2 or

stress_in_days = days_of_recovery or

stress_in_days = ln(days_of_recovery)

Related: I find it interesting that they write about the HPA-axis as I've learned that the HPA-axis was a biological explanation for depression. To be fair, the way burnout was described in the article, it didn't seem to be all that different from depression.

Edit: seems I was right, depression and burnout don't seem to be all that different [1]. I do think the name burnout describes more accurately what depression is than the name depression.
