Yeah, RISC-V omitted rotate from its 47 instruction base ISA. You don't get to be that small without cutting the unnecessary and rotate would require a barrel shifter which in turn would rarely be used. Instead, rotate (rol, ror, rori) can be found in the “B” Standard Extension for Bit Manipulation.

I mean that 18 year olds at Yale are... 18 year olds.

Protests have been a regular fixture on college campuses (including non-elite campuses) for at least 50 years. Including times when the elite/the country had "purpose". Kent, Ohio isn't exactly New Haven or Cambridge...

Youthful rebellion is as old as time, and arguably isn't even unique to humans. Therefore, grounding a sweeping societal critique in any particular mode of youthful rebellion (be it political protest or inane partying) seems a bit... silly.
I do the same thing, and I make sure that the install.sh file can be re-run without breaking things. Then if I want to make a permanent change, or add a new package that I will want to keep, I just updated install.sh and re-run it so I know it works and is up to date. Pretty fragile, but I would rather spend a few minutes fixing any errors whenever I run it on a updated OS then take the time to make it more robust.

What about using the word "homoiconic" when we mean its meaning: "homogenous icons" other said, a regular and equivalent representation of all its tokens. The article sort of tries to validate its point from a historical approach, but kind of ignores the meaning of the word by its compounds. Will continue using it.
I'm not a theoretical physicist, but I've heard in informal conversations with some that one idea being explored more now is that perhaps space itself is just a statistical emergent property of entanglement.

I did, My main Issue with the UHK is it doesn't go hard enough. I looks like a half-baked attempt the make a ergonomic board similar to Alice and the Mistel Barraco just with some extra doodads.

Cool that it's open-source. Why not leverage QMK and Via for a graphical configurator?

Edit: Not trying to shit on the UHK, but it seems like a _decent_ keyboard. My fault with it is that it's much too conventional and thus ends up falling into the trap that many boards already to (pinky overuse, wrist angling, gimmicks over form). It's great that you managed to create a product and bring it to market. But it doesn't really bring anything new to the table or deserve the name 'Ultimate Hacking Keyboard'.

Yes, equity vs. cash was the "normal" startup calculus, but FAANG type companies have been paying SO much over the past decade (largely because their stocks have done so well over the past decade that "reasonable" equity awards ended up being 3, 4, 500k or more annually for mid/senior level devs) that it largely threw that calculus out of whack. These days, even if a startup "hits" (still a remote prospect) you're only doing slightly better than if you had a FAANG as one of your options, and if the startup doesn't hit, you're easily way, way down.

These days, while compensation and equity are of course important, there are other things (e.g. get to work on a wide array of stuff, no "big company" crap, etc.) that are likely going to be the real drivers in being able to attract talent.
There's another Voyager episode in which Tuvok is temporarily blinded and he tells the computer to turn on the tactile interface so he can work on a computer console.

For instance, DEFLATE has default variable width encoding tables built in based on letter frequency of the English language as measured some time ago. If you use an algorithm with any kind of defaults those count against the cost, but they don’t necessarily cost more to tune it for a solitary input.

Breaking into a university building with a large group of other people, obstructing publicly-funded research, and creating a dangerous environment for hundreds of others without winding up in jail is an example of "protestor" privilege, for only certain values of "protestor".

Mouth-breathing children have been performing these stunts with increasing regularity and chutzpah because they know they have no skin in the game, and it is for the same reason that these "protests" are embarrassingly ineffectual. They manage to take out a few exceptionally honorable hot-heads who are unwilling to genuflect towards the idiocy, and then the hot-heads transition into a cushy tech job with twice the pay and respect.

I have sympathy for cash poor startup founders, but offering substantial equity works wonders. Like a real amount, not something that rounds to 0. It's hard to feel bad for someone who wants to keep all the upside and not pay a good salary. Someone making 500k elsewhere should be a key hire, so spend or dilute yourself accordingly.

Hedge fund managers with ‘skin in the game’ outperform
The greatest polluter is the economy where the only profitable business model is planned depreciation to make people buy new stuff. Nobody makes durable razors because it's a financial suicide. Nobody makes reliable cars, laptops, toothbrushes. People don't have a choice but to keep replacing things that break. Manufacturing these things wastes oil, coal and pollutes the environment. The businesses don't care because disposing the junk is not their problem. Change rules to make businesses accountable for stuff they sell: the recycling facility needs to do something with a mountain of broken fridges? Let it send an invoice to manufacturer. Many companies will go bankrupt. We'll see how reliable things replace the junk. The economy will slow down because people won't need to spend so much. There won't be much progress either if you drive the grandfathered car: no money for R&D, so engineers become repairmen. No more demand for STEM because the market for making new things is tiny. The big tech will collapse because its paid by ads and there will be nothing to advertise. Stagnation, deflation, unemployment, good stamps. As you see, the solution exists and it's called stagnation. TBH, I'm not sure if it's bad because currently the world is rapidly consolidating 99% of resources in the 1% people s hands (and make no mistake, they will survive any global warming that may come). P.S. Single family houses aren't the problem. They actually store CO2 in the form of wood, which is an easily replaceble resource. If houses were built from aluminium, I'd agree with you, but they are made from wood in the US.
> Maintaining the field strength thus requires continuously adding charge to the grids.

I'm not sure what you mean. The whole system is running at steady state. For simplicity, pretend that the spaceship is very massive or is otherwise accelerating at negligible rate so that the spaceship's frame is inertial. [0] In the spaceship's frame, there is some electron current density at all points in space, some proton current density at all points in space, and some distribution of charge carriers on the grids. If we further assume an infinite work function on the grids, then there is no field emission and no plasma charges are captured, so there is no transfer of charge between the plasma and the grids. But then there is no current on the grid, so the driver circuit outputs no power, and the engine can't possibly do any work.

So either my analysis is missing something or the paper is wrong. Or both.

[0] This could be achieved exactly by firing an equal-but-opposite-thrust conventional rocket in the opposite direction. It doesn't really matter for my argument anyway, I think.

[1] Or the grid could be made of metal filaments wrapped in perfect insulators, but then there's an issue of charges building up on the outside of the insulators. In general, the grid will capture some charge from the plasma, and this will be a parasitic loss on the system. I would certainly believe that a pair of solid parallel finite metal plates flying at high speed through a plasma generates a force, but that's not what's being described in the paper.

If you regularly pull up new systems (also VMs), it indeed becomes worth it to do some form of automation. For me, instead of having a whole orchestration setpu, I just have a simple .bashrc that I copy everywhere and it has a few package lists in the form of functions:

- Running `defaultinstall` will install vim, git, iotop, progress, curl, and other essentials, and it runs apt-file update.

- Running `defaultinstalloptional` will pull more packages like sipcalc, cloc, woof, and other packages that I like but are not something I use on every system or do not use regularly.

- Running `defaultinstallwifi` pulls wavemon, iw, and wireless-tools; `defaultinstallprogramming` gets me interpreters and compilers that I regularly use; `defaultinstallgui` gets me GUIs that I use (audacity, gimp, wireshark, xdotool, xclip, etc.); etc.

On a new system I run whichever ones are applicable (e.g. a desktop may be GUI but not WiFi). Together with copying .bashrc, .vim/, and .vimrc, that's 90% of the setup I need for a non-GUI system. On a GUI system, I will want to set some task bar preferences. Only replacing my main system is an exception: I'll simply copy my filesystem from the old system (or, more often, physically move over the SSD), since I'll want to have the files, firefox profile, thunderbird config, etc. anyway.

Takes nearly zero time to maintain and is not dependent on anything that I don't already consider essential (Debian won't ship without bash-compatible shell or a package manager for a long time) so there is only one manual pre-setup step: copying a text file.

>You don't want him to remember having had breakfast. You want him to actually have breakfast.

For a full "ancestor simulation" yes, that's true.

Though does it have to be full, to look like reality does to us (e.g. for the simulation to be like what we live in)?

At some level, remembering X and having had X is the same with regard to the individual (especially if you can also make their organism not feel hungry, depleted, etc, the same as having had breakfast).

This reminds me of the "5 minute world hypothesis": "The five-minute hypothesis is a skeptical hypothesis put forth by the philosopher Bertrand Russell that proposes that the universe sprang into existence five minutes ago from nothing, with human memory and all other signs of history included".

This wouldn't be a "Bostrom-style ancestor simulation" that starts from the Big Bang say and lets everything unfold -- but it could still be a simulation that sees how such things as us, given the starting rules and conditions set at an arbitrary point in time behave.

I guess a problem with that is that it doesn't let our evolution/history fully freely unfold (from big bang and very limited initial configuration).

Then again, they could have had it "fully unfold", got to something like a "year 2500 A.D" humanity, and now are trying various changes at different eras to see what they get. In such a setup they can take shortcuts, because they know the tolerances of the system (and e.g. that a "fake full" stomach of Lincoln wont change anything of substance).

I've read your other responses and while the points you make are reasonable, it's "obvious" to many that a certain threshold of belief has been crossed, most notably by industry insiders.

Unless of course you believe they're astroturfing.
> The “no country can get more than 5% of immigrant visa in any given year”, was done so that large countries don’t dominate the immigrant mix.

It was done so that countries with large numbers of eligible immigrants don't dominate the immigrant mix in any category (it's per category, not global), which is a really stupid idea (it systematically prevents legal supply and demand from aligning, even as far as they could within the aggregate limit, by artificial restriction, which as anyone whose studied price controls know, creates illegality.)
Oh, well, I must say - I'm touched that they got that problem under control.
Maybe, maybe not, but thats a different battle altogether, and right now a huge portion of American politics revolve around this definition of diversity, and if it didn't, it's likely immigration would get stricter, not looser.
"whitebox solutions" are merchant silicon designs, typically Broadcom.

Cisco's entire Nexus line of switches was there entry into the market with merchant silicon. Their costs were much lower, but their pricing per port stayed roughly the same as their Catalyst line driving up margins. Adoption was pretty lackluster however until they started offering massive discounts on the Nexus products.

Anyway, you can generally get non-blocking line rate on all ports out of any Broadcom reference design. The only distinction between that and a Cisco is the how the device is managed.
Yeah but they weren't exactly "stable" - they were kinds of incidents which lead to / were used as pretexts for wars.

That's what I don't understand. A doctor earns an average salary of say, $300,000, while a programmer building software that automates the job of a doctor earns an average salary of $75-100,000.

The value of the programmers is equal to all the people their programs replace, but yet, they are paid less than a single one of the individuals they replace.

Our society doesn't properly value programmers. If it did, there wouldn't be an H1-B issue. There are more Americans who want to be doctors than America will legally allow to exist. There's no cap on how many programmers there can be, yet America throws its hands up in the air wondering why.

The answer is obvious: America doesn't value programmers appropriately.

You can't say, "We can't afford to pay what programmers are worth." How about pay sales people less. Why do sales people get 30% commissions? Why do CEO's get millions?

The only real solution to the problem is to properly value the work and pay for it.
This is the Airbus v Boeing problem. There are two schools of thought, one being that you the operator can control all the settings including the ones necessary to avoid the fogging. There are others that do so automatically. So many times people would be aggravated that my a/c would turn on with the heat in my Audi. What they didn’t realize was how that prevented fogging of the windows which inevitably would happen a few min later. I noticed my current car also does this but it turns itself on after the heat has kicked in.
I don't do any orchestration either; I just have metapackages that do roughly the same thing, as well as a few packages that install system-wide configuration.
