Intel's hyperthreading nets you an extra 20%, depending on workload. AMD's Zen1 SMT, in comparison, was more like 40%. Add in something like the branch prediction working better on this problem pattern, or the cache being too small / wrong shape on the Intel, and another 20% is easy.

Honestly, it looks like you're arguing with data at this point. It really does do 40% better per core.

Sure, but there's a difference between the accuracy of speculative theory and experiment. Experiment is very reliable -- they never called the 750 GeV bump a discovery of anything, because it didn't meet the statistical standards. Even things that do meet the statistical standards are often not called discoveries, because the experimentalists think they are systematic errors at play, as we see with MiniBooNE and DAMA.

Speculative theory is not reliable, which is why all the papers on the 750 GeV bump were wrong. But it has never been reliable, because, well, it's speculative! For each new phenomenon there's probably only one right explanation, but far more than one paper. Being 99% wrong has been par for the course for almost a century.
Car rental doesn't mean going to your local car rental shop. It more often means using a car share service like ZipCar, Modo, or others, and it's so convenient that I often use it despite owning a vehicle.
As a practical matter, meaningful change to the population density distribution will take decades, if not centuries. And it will not happen at all until we can find a way to make urban living less brutally expensive.

And yeah, urban core will need to be redefined. Not everyone wants to live in a skyscraper. We need to strike a balance.

I think it's entirely reasonable that they have at least one review department per market that they want to serve. Again, that's the way the ad business worked until very, very recently. It's not like some onerous idea made up just for them.

You're drawing a false dichotomy about censorship. There's a normal, accepted middle ground between oppressive censorship and anarchy, often referred to as "ad checking" or "editorial review". Right now I can use an automated system to buy an ad saying "Trump Eats Babies" or "Obama Isn't a Citizen" or other flat-out lies. This is wrong. There should be a human in the mix who does at least minimal verification.

You seem to think things will get better. What evidence do you have of this, besides the fact that global security, political stability and climate change is all getting worse, fast.
I think we also need to facilitate the work of reviewers. With so many papers and vast literature, reviewing is a PITA and errors keep slipping through the cracks. I d like to use a simple wiki of "argument refutations" , where we can look up previous objections to arguments being made. This is useful work that is currently being lost in the email archives of journal editors.

It would also help if we could open up science to people outside the academia, and begin the process of de-pedestalization of academia altogether, but not in an unregulated, completely flat way - academic discourse cannot be done in facebook. We know it has to happen and it will happen but we pretend the current situation can last forever. Academia is turning to a place that sells indulgences.

> Readers also suggested that if the amd64-microcode package were installed, it would fix the issue. This, too, is not the case; the amd64-microcode and intel-microcode packages are both installed by default on all Ubuntu 19.10 systems, including the one I'm experiencing the RDRAND failure on. I contacted AMD and asked representatives to check the status of that package and see if anything needs to (or can) be done about updating it.

Can anyone comment why the AMD microcode update doesn't seem to actually fix this bug? I've seen plenty of people commenting that you don't need a bios update and that it should, however the author seems to have tried that.

I've been thinking about this even more recently, specifically in the context of online portals for Flash content (games, movies, web comics etc). My conclusion is that there has been a loss, and it's largely related to reason for creation. Everything is now so product and marketing focused that creation for creation's sake makes the end result different.

E.g. if you were to search "pug lovers" two decades ago, you might find blogs posts about pugs, people's personal sites filled with images and stories of their own pugs, a small community pug-loving, pug-adopting as its own forum.

Now the first page of Google for "pug lovers" shows: a Facebook page, an Amazon page, a Pinterest page, two Etsy pages, two bespoke (catering towards dogs) storefronts, and one cute site (http://pugdogclub.org.uk/gallery/pug-lovers/).

There's no objective better or worse - people want the things all the new top results provide - but I know which era of results I prefer.

The issue is that financial systems are regulated and opening an account usually requires an AML / KYC process that ties you users to a personal ID.
At the turn of the last century most people rode bikes - a healthier activity than riding in cars. Around the same time, most cities developed extensive electric trolley systems which were largely destroyed after the automobile took over. People were mobile prior to the automobile. Cities were developed by necessity to be human-scale in the pre-automobile era. After the automobile they were developed (in the US especially) for the automobile which meant that it was very difficult to get around without a car.

> I think there should be a mandatory 20 minute education session for anyone taking out a payday loan/installment loan

I've re-read that sentence several times now and each time it makes more sense. I'm not sure how it could be deployed in practice, but the notion that before you do this there's some level of attainable, reasonable education you have to absorb first would be useful.

A 10 minute lesson before signing up for a loan that explains exactly how it works in a simplified format might make up for the systemic lack of financial education throughout formalised schooling. Might. Would certainly be interesting to see it happen/interested in helping it happen.
I don't think having a deeply engrained reflex to open youtube or tiktok or whatever the nanosecond you're start loosing attention on whatever you are currently doing will enrich peoples lives. Sure, some will use the tools productively. But most will fall victim to the most effective pleasure industry mankind has come up with so far.
The high profile debacles were pretty quickly caught, so I’d say the system is working.
The concern is Hashicorp receiving data about deployments even outside of the Azure marketplace, although the documentation makes it look like it'll only be in aggregate/will be anonymized

Your capacity to absorb financial speed bumps today is (among other things) a result of your income level yesterday.

I am often surprised how people whose income is the same or greater than mine live in stress, because each extra euro of income is immediately translated into an extra euro of consumption, and there is no reserve for a rainy day.

However, I am not surprised when the same thing happens to people with incomes much smaller than mine. Sometimes I am instead surprised how these people manage to survive at all. (Well, obviously, if I'd ever got in the same situation, I would probably gradually learn a few tricks I don't know today.)
That's an old Feynman story, but he was kind of bullshitting to make a point. If you actually look at the history of measurements, it doesn't look like that at all -- it instantly corrects to about the correct value right after Milliken and hovers around that value.

There's hope. If you look at the GUI for Figma (an Illustrator and Sketch vector drawing competitor), they've built it using the Canvas tag...and it works AMAZINGLY well. I don't know how they did it, but it feels more like butter than Sketch, and I love Sketch. I'm waiting for someone to come along and basically build the Flash equivalent of a canvas tag renderer. But it's going to take some serious smarts.

There is some precedence. Rich Harris (of Rollup & Svelte fame) has been toying with the idea of a precompiler for Web GL...

Doing it with canvas / svg is a bit like saying you can do a videogame because you have access to webgl and web audio API.

In the most technical sense, yes, but it's way too low level an abstraction to be practical. Flash's entrypoint abstraction was the timeline, which already bundles up a huge amount of complexity around time-based transformation of content that you'd have to build atop canvas to approach Flash's convenience.
Hermetic declarative build systems like Bazel feel exactly like sound statically typed languages to me. It's really hard to get all of your dependencies precisely specified declaratively. The urge to hack in a little imperative code or jam in a build step that you just "know" needs to happen in a certain order is always there and it can be very difficult to satisfy the taskmaster that is the build system. When you have weird cases like a script that produces a variable set of output files based on the content of some input file, it's tough to get that working in the build system.

But... if you climb that cliff, there are many rewards at the top. Like the article notes, you can reuse intermediate build artifacts between developers (because it's not possible for those artifacts to accidentally depend on developer-specific state), you can automatically parallelize (because the build system can tell declaratively which tasks do no depend on each other) and you can ask it interesting queries about the dependency graph. That sounds an awful lot like the runtime safety, performance, and static analysis static types give you.

The challenge is that for small programs, dynamic types are just easier to get going with. And every build script starts pretty small. So you have a plethora of simple, hackable build systems like make that work fine at first but then get more and more painful as the program grows. With software, there is at least some customer-visible pain that can enable you to justify a rewrite in a statically-typed language. But build infrastructure is always a hidden cost so it's really hard to get the resources to migrate to a different build language.

Maybe the lesson here is to bite the bullet and start with a hermetic build system at first.

This looks cool and might have potential for creative types. Unfortunately most people aren't that creative. But, have you tried contacting UTubers that do these types of animes?

From what I hear, editing takes a super long time and is a big pain point for them. It might be worth sitting down with them over skype to discuss it with them and figure out how your product or one similar to it could help them.

What people forget is that this was true in the old days as well. Even back in the 60s and 70s there were over ten accelerators throughout the world constantly doing science, and you can bet they were booked up with new speculative searches every month. The vast majority found nothing, and were forgotten. That's because there's a very finite number of things to discover in fundamental physics, which is of course what makes the field so exciting in the first place.
>The internet has been weaponized.

Ugh... I can't believe that I'm saying this but... I agree with you, wholeheartedly.

I am about as nerdy as you can get and a huge tech enthusiast and I'm just starting to hate the internet outside of a few sites that I visit to stay "in the know". I feel like every day I'm learning less and less valuable information and more and more pop culture, meme-ified information just because it makes money. It feels like the entire scope of the internet shifted away from individuals creating cool things to huge companies advertising for whatever their latest money-maker is. Some of it is still enjoyable (e.g., Hot Ones, musicians, programmers) but it's all just slowly getting swallowed up.
Yes, that was precisely the issue.
This is exactly the sort of thing that blinding is there to prevent. It is the same reason we in cosmology blind our data - to prevent us from biasing ourselves towards what other experiments have found.

Utility bills are forgeable paper, yes. So is any other proof short of the strong cryptographic kind, which is going to be a lot more trouble to get set up infrastructurally. Also, forging them, or theft of mail, is a notable threshold beyond "just say you live there". Generally, in my experience, proof-of-address is coupled with some other requirement to prove your identity, so a genuine-but-stolen utility bill would need to be coupled with either a forged ID or a remarkable resemblance to the actual owner.

It's not perfect, but I would say that in most cases it's better than nothing. It's a bit lacking for of subletters, but when I've needed proof-of-address, showing the signed lease has also been acceptable.

(I actually am in a month-to-month with no lease and with a roommate's name on the utility bill, so the last time I needed proof of address I needed something else. Can't now remember what it was.)
I think you're thinking of the oil-drop experiment for the charge of the electron that was done 110 years ago (1909). And the experiments in the subsequent decades. Feynman, in 1974, so 45 years ago, used it as an example of problems in science. So, in response to the original post saying that particle physics has been doing things more or less correctly for decades is not tarnished by your example.

Google operates on a live-code model. Anything running requires some level of active maintenance and support, so there's always incentive to trim. In this case, the Flash crawler is an obvious thing to trim (what's the point of indexing something that the average user lacks the tools to open and read?).

One thing I do wish they would / could do in situations like this though is open-source the core of that crawler, so if someone else finds a purpose for it, they could run their own on whatever corpus they care to index. But, such is the price of relying on closed-source software for things.
