It’s likely because std::fill() is a generic function that can be used to fill any list with any kind of value (even class instances).

There likely is some template specialization in place, that if it’s called with a ‘char’ list, that it gets translated into a call into libc’s memset(). That’s why the results for the last two are close to identical.

Alternatively, there is no template specialization going on, but it’s the case that the compiler detects that this is identical to memset() and converts it accordingly. LLVM/Clang does this through something called the LibCall optimization pass, IIRC.
First place z score sum 54 vs second place 42 and in a single category. The only thing watershed here is the headline dishonesty.

These articles always focus on man vs. machine but war is a great leveler. What happens for example when there is a proxy war and these devices get used? Lets say the US deploys them somewhere for one side but then surely Russia or China or whoever is supporting the other side will deploy their own versions to counter. Will we then end up with a machine vs. machine scenario?
It’s too bad that such brilliant innovators as Turing and Von Neumann wasted their careers trying to compete in an arms race against Nazi Germany when they could have been designing better ways to deliver targeted advertising or something useful like that, isn’t it?
Many companies are facing winner takes all, so if your failures result in getting a significant stake in your competitions businesses, you’re doing pretty well IMO.

As much as I’d like that not to be the case for Uber.
I don't have much static content, no cdn, do multiple database queries per request, my server isn't beefy enough to run any of the common content managers like WordPress or typo3 (well, each pageload took a very long time), and yet it survived the HN homepage on a few occasions.

A huge system like WordPress can't do dynamic content for more than a small number of visitors per second no matter how beefy the server and has to hackily convert content from dynamic to static content. Which is fine since it uses a lot less power to do static content instead of buying beefier and beefier servers, but it is not how WordPress meant its blogging software to have to be (maybe they gave up by now and do static rendering by default, but it used to be all plugin based). By writing my own tiny blogging software I implemented what I needed and it worked just fine on an Intel Atom CPU, even on the HN homepage.
...by calling memset(). The referenced article [1] is much clearer and more detailed. The bit in that article about lowering std::fill to memset but only with character types is interesting, e.g.

Is Google going to try to compete in the EHR space? I don’t think of them as an enterprise software company - at least not in the same way as an Oracle or MSFT. My impression of their strategy/focus is that they are trying to sell cloud compute and ML services?

Russia has large missile defense deployments S400 and S500 and selling them to lots of countries. This is in no way a secret and a huge bone of contention between Turkey and the US for their purchase of S400.

Hypersonic missiles make aircraft carriers sitting ducks without any defense. This is a pretty damn large shift in military power at the US expense.
Absolutely possible/true. As the kids age and mature and repeatedly demonstrate good judgement they earn more freedom. At this point any data they produce is pretty benign/useless so it's not something I'm terribly concerned with.
You can also surrender independence for the greater cause of unity.
They said that about the Japanese. I remember around 1990 sitting as some of my fellow engineers said the same about Hyundai, they'll never be able to build good cars. I took the other end of the bet. That a country with enough resources with commitment to make the engineering and manufacturing cultural changes will eventually succeed.

Change since thing is Hyundai builds decent cars and a lot of other heavy industrial goods. And the United States has regressed because we believe the free market will provide while the third generation post war management class loots everything not nailed down.
+1. Thanks for the link to the actual article. Don't know why this is downvoted. Clearly more insightful than the MS advertisement spin of the article. Perhaps the original link should be replaced with it.
I can't imagine any situation, when this could be the bottleneck.
Parent's point, I think, is that technically .NET isn't running on DOS, just C# AOT compiled. In other words, the standard library isn't being used.
The linked article goes into more detail. One calls memset and the other doesn't.
> it can be detected via ultrasound and treated pharmacologically or interventionally

To me that sounds like a more reliable way to find out.
Australia is dominated by Uber unfortunately, I’d hazard a guess they’ve done similarly well for other countries where the competition is weak.

The only competition they faced on entry was Taxis, which is to say, no competition.
Obligatory reminder that correlation is not causation.

Of course, avoiding obesity is advisable for everyone where possible, for all kinds of reasons.

But there are cases where a complex physiological problems (particularly autoimmune issues) can contribute to obesity and cancer risk.

Such cases are quite possibly more frequent than is generally understood, given how many people try and fail to lose weight through diet and exercise.
Feels like a competent moderation team (not necessarily paid

Moderation seems to generally be better when it is paid. I've done plenty of moderating in my time. I currently am the moderator or a number of things. I'm generally a good moderator.

I'm also dirt poor and I resent the fact that I do so many things for free for people without it coming back to me and my extreme poverty actively interferes at times with my ability to tend to unpaid obligations while I try to eke out a living doing something else for a bit, etc.

I generally have a pretty good track record of doing things for free that I'm willing to do for free and not dumping on other people about how they aren't paying me to do this, but I have seen plenty of moderators over the years have a snit fit about how the membership is ungrateful and they do this out of the goodness of their heart and You People need to behave better, appreciate us more, and quit being so much drama since it's all free, dagnabbit.

I think if you really, truly value something, you should be okay with people being able to do that work and actually somehow pay their own bills because of it.

Reddit is sort of a weird grey zone where Reddit actually makes money and has paid staff, but most moderation on Reddit is unpaid. And I run a few Reddits and I'm still trying to figure out what I think of that weird beast.

But, generally speaking, as someone who has done tons of volunteer work in my life and has also spent a lot of years very poor where all that "goodness of my heart" crapola didn't do a fucking thing for me when I needed some "goodness" from someone else, I think if you resent the service you use for free somehow making money and actually paying its staff, (trying to think of a more PC way to end this sentence and failing -- suffice it to say, I don't have a high opinion of such people).
> But how do you get there?

Most of us don't have personal vendettas against Uber or similar companies and want to take them down.

But if they do treat you like shit, then it should be your right (and duty) to fight back to discourage such behaviour in the future.

The goal isn't to take them down with tons of chargebacks, simply to make the chargeback rate correlate with the bad customer service. They clearly don't care about the latter but will definitely care about the former. If it does take them down however it won't be a big loss and will clear the space for a better competitor to step in.
A Sanity Test for Large Groups of PMs
This actually looks very interesting! I have been trying to get all of my immediate family to coordinate on a shared google document to try and capture a lot of our family history, but the unstructured nature of memory snippets and anecdotes is challenging to organize coherently.

For example, I want to be able to easily capture the fact that we owned a dog. Oh wait, but what about all the other dogs we owned over the years? What about the time I got bit and had to get stitches? what about the other times I had to get stitches? What about the times that other family members got stitches? I find that memories oftentimes don't bubble to the surface until they are sparked by other memories.

I want to be able to easily organize everything in a connected graph, but also still map it to a timeline.

I'm definitely going to have to give Roam a try. I wonder how well it works when it comes to collaboration between different people?

I think it's plausible that writing code in C, Pascal, or languages of a similar level is several times more productive than writing code in assembly language, and writing code in Python, Ruby, JS, Scheme, Lua, or other languages of a similar level is several times more productive than writing code in C.

This is not true for all programs, for a couple of different reasons.

First, the reason writing code in Python is often more efficient than writing code in C is that it allows you to leave things out. Specifically, you can leave out resource lifetimes, specifying low-level types (representation in bits), checking high-level types (conformance to protocols), memory layout, and error handling. The CPython interpreter will improvise something for you in all of these cases. It won't be as good as what you could have come up with if you were doing it yourself in C, but for many programs, other things are more important. A lot of times you need to have some idea about those things in order for your program to work properly, but it can be informal, incomplete, and tacit, rather than formal, complete, and explicit. But for some programs, these things that are being left out are too important to leave out. In those cases using JS instead of C isn't saving you anything.

Second, as Alan Kay says, architecture trumps materials at scale. In the taxonomy of SICP, programming languages contain primitive concepts, means of abstracting concepts, and means of combining concepts, and the ways in which a higher-level programming language is more efficient than a lower-level programming language are mostly in the form of primitive concepts. Python has auto-growing lists and dicts ready-made, plus polymorphic method calls with duck typing and garbage collection and whatnot. These reduce your code size by some constant factor, and they also nudge you toward using a certain architecture, an OOP architecture which is more scalable in some ways. Maybe one line of Python does as much as 64 lines of assembly language. But your software's architecture defines its order of growth: does its functionality increase proportional to the amount of effort put into writing code, proportional to its square, or proportional to its square root? And you can implement any architecture in any programming language.

I do think there's something to the claim that Chez Scheme represents a substantially better language implementation than CPython on some axes despite being the work of a much smaller group of people. Chez is mostly Dybvig, actually, though Scheme itself contains important ideas from dozens of people. By contrast, /usr/share/doc/python2.7/ACKS.gz on my system lists almost 1500 people, including, to my surprise, me.

A lot of those bits are random noise: incompressible, but also worthless.

In the continuum between pure accidental random noise and pure essence, we have innumerable intermediate stages. Some code produces an enormous amount of value in a very small amount of code; other code produces almost no value in a very large amount of code. The PUC Lua interpreter is like 150 kilobytes in its standard configuration, and LuaJIT is twice that size, but in many cases LuaJIT produces code with performance comparable to GCC, which is on the order of 32 megabytes (for a single platform), 100× the size.

Why would you trust a company based on stalking users to not do so when their bottom-line depends on it considering they have plausibly-deniable ways to do so without getting caught? (and as the Facebook phone number fiasco proved, even if they do get caught the penalty is a slap on the wrist and can be factored in as costs of doing business)

Definitely agree, use store personally, have done all that is possible to degoogle my phone but the reality is that certain play store apps are essential for modern living. Yalp was once good but find it unusable now. Aurora store has good UI and seems to handle the proxy accounts better, or at least they are not being banned so quick.
Seems like something that could be done in HW? IDK much about HW architecture, but I'm surprised there's no way a CPU can tell the memory to zero out some range in a single command.

Have been using Roam for a while now. Very powerful potential. I’m excited to start a second database and use it as a personal CRM
And people will do all the hard work of building a new language from scratch but conspicuously leave that feature out instead of using one of the many very good existing lisp or scheme implementations. Because the reality is that most programmers don’t want to code in s-exprs despite some significant benefits.

This is a very hard truth for the more aspbergery wing of lisp users to accept.
Lockheed was intimately involved in the current UFO story being promoted. They had worked on and off for years with Bigelow Aerospace. When Bigelow won the AATIP contract, 2 of the 38 Defense Intelligence Reference Documents were written by highly credible Lockheed scientists.

It’s assumed that Bigelow affiliates initially enchanted Lockheed with the credibility of former intelligence employees. In 2015, Lockheed executives invited Tom DeLonge to a barbecue for Skunk Works. Bigelow affiliates were there.

They were all involved in helping DeLonge’s pitch for media projects to promote aerospace and the Pentagon to younger audiences. UFOs weren’t discussed until the 2nd or 3rd meeting. Detailed here- https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/28377/tom-delonges-ori...

Later, prominent executives from Lockheed Skunk Works and a Major General were talking with DeLonge and John Podesta. All under the assumption that Hillary Clinton would win the Presidency.

Later, Lockheed dropped out. It’s impossible to know the extent of what’s happening but it would be illegal for the US Government to engage in disinformation either directly or indirectly. The claim that DeLonge’s operation is controlled by the CIA is false. The former intelligence people working with him are true believers who lack any actual evidence of aliens.

Most likely, a highly sophisticated private group with complex financial incentives is purposely misleading individuals and groups. They’re exploiting naive former government employees and dubious government scientists who skirt the line of fraud in the pursuit of radical technology. And the Air Force uses it for cover and the CIA for national security vectors and foreign disinformation.

Infix notation is closer to natural language, but it's only easier to read for simple expressions. You really have to know the precedence and associativity of each and every operator that is used to make sense of an expression.
IMO "easy" linking to other pages should be doable, but part of Roam's power is creating those pages by just making the link.

The linked references block I think could be extremely powerful in Notion. Bidirectional linking helps to associate data better than anything else I know, and if that can be handled semi-automatically it would blow people's minds.

Also, yeah, opening other pages in a sidebar would be amazing for being able to reference data without context switching and literally losing sight of what you're working on.

Personally, I'm using Notion for structured data, and Roam for unstructured, freely associated data. They're both pretty awesome in their own ways.

Holy cricky, you may have just cracked the EMR nut.

What is First Choice Hemp Oil?
The First Choice Hemp Oil is non-psychoactive concentrate of cannabis that is legitimized in certain states in America, Sweden, United Kingdom, Canada and different nations. It's the hemp oil that can be produced using the entire sativa plant including buds, blossoms and leaves. The First Choice Hemp Oil soothe agony, and indications of infections, can be securely utilized in medicinal treatment. This is a characteristic item with no non-natural added substances which is produced using cannabis plants. The First Choice Hemp Oil has been found in 1940, and it's not new to medication but rather inquires about prop up on and one thing is clear until further notice – it has a greater number of points of interest than weaknesses.
