If you find inaccuracies feel free to comment. I wrote the text based on how it looks from my eyes and it could be heavily biased.

I would be also happy to answer the questions here, if needed.
Not exactly what you asked for, but the Duden dictionary of the German language mentions for "schwarze Liste" (literally black list) that black refers to something which is secret, hidden, probably because of the association with darkness.

It's a very often encountered expression in many European languages.
The point is not that Intel can't do it, it's that Intel hasn't done it.
Windows for ARM can't emulate Intel x64 software. Nor will games using OpenGL versions above 1.1, among other things.

I disagree that Apple is only better at marketing things like this, they're much also better at doing it. And their processors are presumably going to be ahead of anyone else's ARM based computers, just like they've been with phones.

Hey old friend — good to see you here. I can understand that some people object to the terms regardless of etymology, but certainly the case for deprecation would be stronger if the etymology driven by or related to race.

Do you have any citations to the actual etymology? I wasn't able to find anything definitive.
Kinda sounds like Tor hidden services.
I want to play the devil's advocate so forgive the extra cynicism;

> Even when we live in rather harsh conditions we can have a balanced diet

We can have a balanced diet, but it is not the cheapest or most convenient; 40% of Americans are obese, and there is so much we can fault willpower for it. Heart disease, diabetes etc. being top killers, we are still actually dying and suffering from mal-nutrition. The system that fills 90% of our supermarkets with crap food is very efficient for itself, but that efficiency is not shared with the entirety of population.

> I am not dying of an infection, I take antibiotics.

Yet we stumbled so hard supplying basics like masks in a rather middling pandemic. High efficiency supply chains came at the cost of high fragility, again a cost paid by the entirety of population.

Besides, death is not the worst of all fates. E.g. 1/8 of Americans are on antidepressants, and this rate is increasing sharply. 10 percent of kids are diagnosed ADHD, 60% of which are pushed amphetamines, again at increasing rates. Is this an increase in efficiency? For whom?

> Kids can now easily try out things their parents never did, understood or appreciated.

Novelty at all costs is the core mission of AI recommended content pushed to kids. Do you think a nation that can't fight with high obesity rate is really doing well with limiting screen time? Do we know the long term effects of this 'stimulation obesity'? Again, this is efficiency for the company that profits from the engagement, and we're just gonna roll with the experiment and see where the costs will show up.

> I understand political processes and have a broad cultural knowledge

Look at the quality of political discourse dominating the US. Does it sound educated, able to reflect critically, able to allow ideas fight instead of people? Many attended to college, paid high tuition sure, but what was gained in the end? The system they attended, the admin class grew and made money very efficiently indeed. Did it reflect to the quality of education?

> I really understand that there are different cultures, way beyond hearsay

Almost the entire rest of the world already understands this because certain dominating "cultures" long been in their land, whether by force or through TV, internet, merchandise, food etc. Kids in far far away places grew up with Batman, McDonalds, Coca Cola, they watched MTV when TV was a thing, now we're letting YouTube decide what they should find relevant etc. The fact that an American is required to travel to understand there are different cultures is an exception and a privilege.
It's adding the linker flags for the ARM64EC architecture in Windows... which represents the x86_64 on arm64 execution mode to the WinRT C++ stub generator.
1. Null Exceptions use for this tool? Looking at Splunk exception logs for a $4b Ecommerce company, a lot of stack traces ended up in Java null exception errors - very common for 25 year old ATG Java based code. So many in fact that tech debt was immense, waiting for years in both baseline and user code. This tool would be great application to detect without waiting for an actual exception.
2. What would be use of ML in E-commerce software where each cart checkout is often plagued with dozens of software errors, slowing down or killing the closing of the sale. So it all impacts final conversion from say 6% down to 3% in an ideal situation. On mobile it is worse where conversions are typically 0.5%. Of course other factors not just speed or software errors are at play.
3. Deep learning would help greatly in dynamic languages like JS,Typescript, even Python where compilers are limited in checking and lots of code errors fly under the radar.

You're also a few orders of magnitude more likely to die from choking on food, yet eating is generally considered safe. At odds these low, I don't think it generally matters whether you did something to precipitate it or not. Whether or not [social] media is hyping and fear mongering a scenario seems to be the foremost factor (see in particular: fear of terrorism.) In the case of fear-of-vaccines, it seems to have much more to do with Oprah than anything else.
Highly doubt it - even though apple is a giant you can't underestimate everyone else who are also massive giants. Qualcomm until now may had no real reason to step out of its incremental performance increases with every generation since almost everyone on Android camp uses its SoC's for their flagships anyway. Similar to how Intel has been slowly pushing small gradual upgrades to their to CPU's until AMD managed to do something better and now we see Intel pushing more cores than before to catch up.
How's it absurd? It's the same logic. He's offended but the difference is he's not claiming a specific race. Kill, master-slave etc. in a technical context aren't associated with race, yet now that someone's claiming the word "kill" is offensive you have a double standard and are dismissive, like you were in replies to me, that their logical assertion is absurd.
> Writing software on ARM laptops that are deployed to production servers running on x86 servers will start to cause a host of new challenges.

We already know what this is like, and the challenges are usually in the other direction (write/test on x86, attempt to deploy on ARM).

This is due to things like word alignment and memory ordering requirements. For the most part, the "extra complexity" in x86 allows you to ignore a lot of the stuff you need to pay more attention to on ARM.
A few people have already published results of Geekbench 4 of the DTK and the performance is impressive already, specially considering that the DTK is using a 2-year old chip, in an emulated environment.
The chances that Intel will hit back is fairly small. In the last several years we have seen a gigantic brain-leak from the company, and is unlikely that they'll keep being reference for performance for much longer.
I am wondering if mastering, “a jack of all trades, a master of none” and a master copy are going to be changed, too
One important example of this is pensions. Some people argue that we should settle for less consumption and economic growth. However, our concept of retirement is predicated on these. If you want to change the workings of the economy, you have to reinvent retirement first, or you'll end up with the elderly starving.
I have been using an iPad for over 10 years, am a huge fan.

But it’s disingenuous to compare benchmarks for single threaded performance between the ipad and macbook.

I can’t do any ‘very’ serious productivity work on the ipad that requires multiple apps, period. (try moving a photo between multiple photo-editing apps, ha.)

I hope that is just a ‘feature’ of iOS, or else macOS will suffer greatly as people leave it for more productivity based OS’s.
> Furthermore, Apple doesn’t buy the expensive Xeon chips, used in millions of Cloud servers, that represent a growing proportion of Intel’s revenue.

While Apple is not traditionally considered a HyperScaler ( Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Alibaba etc ), their own Datacenter is still pretty big. You would be using it when you are using Siri and iCloud. And they use Xeon.

>Margins will inevitably suffer as the ARM-based SoC field is filled with sharp competitors such as Qualcomm and Nvidia, sure to be joined by arch-enemy AMD and others, all ushering in a new era of PCs.

That is the problem. It isn't ARM vs x86. Nor Intel's Fab vs TSMC ( Although they are part of the equation ). It is their Margin.

Intel is not willing to risk their current healthy margin. And there is nothing inherently cheaper with ARM design. Intel could have lower their x86 Chip with less Margin to compete. In that case the compatibility of x86 with slightly higher premium will be able to fence off any ARM attack into PC market.

In the short term everything will still be fine for Intel. The market moves very slowly unless you are Apple which control everything in their stack. But in the long term the unit economics of x86 chip with current Intel's margin stand zero chance to compete. Unless Intel's Fab does some miracle and suddenly leap ahead of TSMC by a generation. Which as far as I can see there is zero chance happening in the next 5 years. Further out we will have to wait and see.

That is of course assuming the cost of running those Fab and their Tech being equal. Which we know that isn't the case.

And I haven't even mention AWS Graviton 2. I would not be surprised if Graviton 3 is already sampling.
You obviously haven't lived in a communist country. It's merely just pretending to be better organised, and yes, state control. People will do things out of fear and because they're forced to but when the central power collapses everything becomes dis-organised and a few opportunists helped by X outside power take control and/or profit.

I sincerely hope that the US doesn't collapse because we'd be left at the mercy of Russia and China.
This is very bad for the US semiconductor industry. Intel is the only US company with state of the art fabs in the US.[1] (Global Foundries 14nm fab in East Fishkill, NY, formerly an IBM fab, maybe. It's owned by the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and is being sold to ON Semiconductor.) Intel is profitable because they have high margins on x86 family parts. That margin will now start to drop as Intel faces competition from commodity ARM processors.

The US already lost the DRAM industry, the disk industry, the display panel industry, most of the small component industry, and the consumer electronics industry. In ten years, the US won't be able to make electronics in volume.

No, I don't think so. Intel squeezes Apple dry on CPU pricing. Intel squeezes everybody dry. There is no client big enough for them to loose.
GCC 10 onwards are finally able to get and use Arm atomics at runtime on arm64.

> I'm also not sure why atomics would be important in a single-client mysql benchmark

They are because exclusive load & store operations are quite expensive on Arm, even if you actually just run an ST workload.
> There is a serious problem with justice in the US though. We have in Norway seen cases of our citizens being unjustly imprisoned in the US through sham trials.

Any links to support this?

> While the US has protected people doing serious crime in Norway.

Isn't that an indictment of the Norway justice system? Or would it be acceptable if Norway could protect its citizens in the United States?
Yeah, I don't buy that one bit. If someone is all up in arms over some simple term changes like this, you somehow think they'll be an ally and supporter when it comes to more difficult reforms of structural racism?

I personally decided to write the anonymization script in sed. The decision was made in 2020, so yes, this century.
I have been a generalist my whole life, and have struggled significantly to translate this into a meaningful career. I have thrived in interdisciplinary roles, but have always found myself carving them out once I have forced my way through the door in a more specialized role.

Is it simply a disconnect between the hiring process and these sorts of skillsets that is causing this issue, or something else?

I worked at a 3D printing startup and found myself liasing between hardware, software, and materials teams (and sales... and marketing... and...) and was the happiest I have been professionally at that time. I don't know where to look for roles similar to this. Do they even exist?

Any advice?

>Even if you acknowledge that a global hegemony lead by the US currently exists, it certainly has not "for the past few centuries".

It stated "Europe & America" acted like global parasites.

Just because we renamed part of the British Empire, it doesn't mean US history starts at Independence. The genocide that occurred on these continents (the Americas pre-independence) and the drugging and robbing of China for a century (post-independence) are some of the largest scale parasitic exercises in human history.

Haven't even mentioned the 10-12 million enslaved...
Thanks for your advice! Much appreciated.

Not the GP, but I'd recommend the latest edition of _Thinking Forth_[0]; there's a PDF but the soft-cover is worth picking up. It helped change the way I think about Forth (hah), and really, programming in general.

That’s what I mean though - yeah that has been the case, because they’ve been using Intel cpus for ages. But how long did they support PowerPC for? This time is different
Agree.It is decentralized. You need to be able to maintain your identity as a currency whereby you get compensated for access to it vs. others who get to monitize your persona. Google, LinkedIn, FB all do this. If you grant specific rights you maintain your identity and get compensated directly for a business to gain access to market, contact, or interact with you.
Should add, this isn’t an option for most countries that do not have 100% control over their border.
Yeah, Easter European languages use it too, and they only enslaved their own people
Not to mention that in Japan there is an in depth inspection of every vehicle for road worthiness. The Shaken vehicle inspection program keeps modified and poorly maintained vehicles off the road, which probably reduces a significant amount of noise, pollution and reckless drivers.
I checked the special status, that's pretty compelling - their tax haven incentives.

I think these types of regions can be created elsewhere but I totally see your point.
> If there was an actual energy efficiency advantage -- i.e. less power consumed for the same amount of work -- Google would already be 100% on ARM.

I don't think they would do that.

It is not wise to venture into microelectronics business, let alone CPUs.
The difference is back in 2000s the technically savvy demographic did not have the purchasing power to make a difference , i.e. people who had money to buy things clicked on ads. Things have already changed that is partly why making ads to get easy revenue is harder, in another 20 years there will not be a pre-internet generation who can be dependent on to click ads.

However ads are not going away, for example although I pay for YT premium and run ublock origin, there are plenty of ads within the video itself . if you have browsed education videos on YT you will know brands like CuriosityStream, nebula, nordVPN, brilliant, skillshare. etc.

Similar and far worse practices happen in other mediums, with influencers on instagram and sponsored posts masquerading as neutral content etc.

It is becoming lot harder to filter it out, lesser and lesser ads are effective we will see more of this .
Investment banks and trading shops are always looking for new grads for C++.
There's only one way to do integration tests with DBs right, use a real instance of the DB. If you need to speed up the setup/teardown process, so be it. If you need to fashion your tests to avoid uniqueness constraints, so be it. But every other approach such as running in transactions and then rolling back, intercepting calls like this library does, mocking, etc will inevitably result in missing some quirk with your SQL. FWIW, at my job, I've written hundreds of tests that use a single local instance of CRDB harmlessly and there aren't any performance issues of note.
They expel spies who are under diplomatic cover. Otherwise they get arrested and jailed. Well after that there is a hope that imprisoned spies could get exchanged.
"mankind" has always struck me as unnecessarily exclusive.

Why not "people", "humankind", etc? Such a simple substitution that honors the fact that all people are not men.
Im truly ignorant on this. Who is Qualcomms competition ? given that all android phones are running just their chips, whats their incentive to catch up to Apple when they can just waddle along their current path.
Not sure why that's surprising. Americans have always wanted to invade the entire globe, whether it be through culture or via Hellfire.
It’s totally clear. Here is the person who chose the term "master" explaining that he chose it in relation to the term "master recording":

> "master" as in e.g. "master recording". Perhaps you could say the original, but viewed from the production process perspective.

The idea that it is related to master/slave was guesswork based on the relation between Git and BitKeeper. But Git doesn’t have slaves and the guess was wrong.
Every now and then it’s extra true though
Are we looking at the same benchmarks? In the first they're comparing an 8-core Bulldozer to Sandy Bridge with 4 cores and no hyperthreading and it's basically even, sometimes it wins by a small margin on the threaded ones. In the second the 3770K has 4 cores with hyperthreading and that makes it look even worse.

If they were actually getting twice the integer performance per module as Intel was getting per core then it might've been interesting, but being the same or only slightly better when comparing modules to cores wasn't enough to overcome the single thread performance deficit which people still care about a lot.
Your whole message is trying to sell me on the idea that "low-friction" interfaces are a good thing for the common pleb, but you don't have to sell me on it. I've believed it from the start ("need not know the underlying file format is based on plain text, just like most don't know that HTML is plain text"), and you continue to ignore that WYSIWYG and the ability to be neatly based on a plain text format are not fundamentally opposed. There exist editors and viewers for Markdown today whose UIs prioritize the "rendered" view over presenting the user with, say, the raw text cast in a monospace font. I even referenced one by name.

> An efficient, effective UI for occasional amateur users is not the same as the UI for high-volume professional users.

I disagree. Specifically, I disagree that the amateur UI can't be made to work just as well much of the time for expert users, and that where it doesn't, it can still form the basis for that which is eventually exposed to the experts and will never be seen by the amateurs. For that reason, I find your big brains comment about dealing with "the unnecessarily high costs of [...] suboptimal solutions" (like "expert mode" UIs that are difficult to grapple with not because they're intended for experts, but because they're just poorly conceived) more apropos than you intended.
Ok, so what are the alternatives?
What prospects do you think there may be for active anti-missile tech like Trophy on fighters? The demonstrations I've seen of that system were mind-blowing and it doesn't seem too far-fetched to put on a jet.

I find active missile countermeasures weirdly ignored in these discussions. Compared to ground engagements it seems like there's plenty of time to engage. It's not like missiles are especially maneuverable. It's not like planes are cheap and disposable. And yet all the defenses we seem to talk about are passive (more stealth! more speed!)

The first impulse with naval, ground or even space doctrine is to at least try to shoot down missiles but it's like we don't even talk about it in the air. Am I missing something?
I use readwise.io as something similar. Does this support adding quotations from books?

I guess you could reference an ISBN database as a hack for the primary key.

This is reaching stupidity levels I never thought possible. This is coming from a code base where you can find the word fuck hundreds of times, as well as other curses. This is coming while Linus has probably directly personally attacked people with profanities on their commits in front of whole mailing lists.

This is the moral equivalent of just cleaning the mirrors alone in a dirty public restroom. Probably only done to be able to admire yourself, it doesn't clean any of the real shit.
> The etymology doesn't matter so much as long as the harm done now is real.

You declare that using blacklist/whitelist does harm, yet you provide no evidence. If it does, shouldn't the black belt being the highest grade (and the white belt the lowest) in Karate etc be a positive thing? Shouldn't the white flag being the sign of defeat, while pirates have cool flags that are mostly black really make the difference?

I'm sorry, but no, of course not. I see some (albeit very little, it feels more like avoidance coping, which is more harmful than dealing with your feelings) merit in "I don't want to hear the word slave, it triggers thoughts of the slavery somebody having a similar skin color as me had to go through", but blacklist/whitelist? Black hat? Black Death? Black Hole? No.

It has nothing to do with Africans, and going out of your way to create a connection where none exists for the sake of being offended feels like a mental health issue that needs to be addressed, not encouragement.
To bootstrap Rustc you have to compile every single version. Say goodbye to reproducible builds. Say goodbye to civilians with cheap laptops being able to compile their kernel.
Lol effort? A few more unit tests and some integration testing are too high a bar to be inclusive or on the right side of history? Did you fight non gendered bathrooms at your workplace too?
