That's nice to hear! I need some C++ projects to show, then
"Statifier take "memory snapshot" of the process, created by loader
when loader ALREADY finish relocation and BEFORE loader invoke any
INIT function.

What now ? Now this "memory snapshot" should be somehow loaded
and run from the point were loader was stopped.

Who will be so kind to do it for us ?
Kernel !

Let's save "memory snapshot", i.e. all segments from executable and
libraries loaded by loader as ELF file with program's header of type
'LOAD' for each segment, and entry point set to the address,
where execution was stopped to take sharpshoot.

In this case, kernel will think, it's a statically linked executable.
(Because there is no 'INTERP' segment)
As we already know kernel load statically linked executable as following:
- load all 'LOAD' segment
- jump to the executable's entry point.

That's it !"

So the way it works kills ASLR. But it should be possible to do something similar, keeping all relocations, and that still works with ASLR (but that would need an INTERP).
Ok, but in that case, isn't there a better analogy with a plague, rather than an AI?
> Tesla sometimes does repairs via "goodwill" accounting instead of standard warrantee service. On it's face, this sounds like a good thing.

In what way is that possibly good?? At best its a deliberate mischaracterization that obscures the number of serious manufacturing flaws. At worst its fraudulent accounting.

> And the suggestion is that they did the goodwill thing so that they could scam the new owner of the car by evading lemon law disclosure. Well, OK. Did they? Show us the evidence. If there's no actual car that got sold where you can document these repairs and show they were unresolved... I just don't think there's much of a case here.

This is objectively, demonstrably wrong. It’s ahistorical.

Unless of course, your view is so myopic and US-centric that you’re blind to any slavery outside of the one specific example you’re obviously referring to. All the while posturing your empathy for others.
>They've managed to change direction in the past

Worth pointing out the two directional changes That Intel made, from DRAM to Microprocessor and IA64, NetBust High Clockspeed to Pentium M IPC. The first one was Andrew Grove, the 2nd one was from his disciple Patrick Gelsinger.

Those people are gone. Retired or pushed out by Intel's politics. Their legacy and work continues for about 5 years, as that is the lead time of their roadmap. And we saw what happen to Intel since 2016.
As seen on twitch, letting people put emojis in their name on a black and white site sets up a system where scanning eyes just see those eye-candies and skip over the rest. This is useful on twitch as it highlights the streamer's paying subscribers but here it's just whoever is more obnoxious.
These type of people require networks of equally misguided people to survive. And those networks and their methods grow over time. So you are never fighting a person.

Its a network that is surrounding the fool teaching, reinforcing and promoting the behavior. You will notice they have a high level of confidence no matter what outcomes are produced. That's because the network behind is patting them on the back and saying you got what it takes.

The only counter balance is developing your own network. When I was younger it was just about people I got along with. People who had the same personality, interests, needs etc. But thats a network with only certain strengths. It took a while and lot of blundering about to realize there are lot of people very different from me, who share the same values. And putting in the effort of connecting/nurturing connections over those values, pays off big time in dealing with douchebags esp above you in the food chain.
The 'Elephant in the Room' here is the chart they did not show, and it's interest rates, which have been steadily declining. You can't fight the impetus for the system to want to give you free money because in the race to equilibrium, your competitor will do it, which leaves you with little choice.

Imagine that some industries are 'thin margin' and naturally going to be competitive, and a little prone to failing if there is a hiccup.

What 'low interest rates' do is exacerbate that quite a lot - so that only a little hiccup is needed to blow you up.

There is a really, really interesting national parallel between the fall of Spain in the 2008 crisis and this story. The 'accepted narrative' is that when the Euro came along, Spain acted 'irresponsibly' and borrowed too much. But a more careful analysis (from an FT interview no less!) showed that they actually acted rationally given the very cheap money flowing in from 'Rich Europe' at the time.

So the overarching issue is real: there's a lot of corporate debt. But it's a financing instrument like any other, it might actually make sense for companies to be leveraged to some extent. Credit runs the economy, this is a form of credit.

I think a much bigger 'meta' look at this from the FT Economists would be warranted - instead of looking at this as more of a 'corporate activity' kind of thing, look at it from an economic equilibrium perspective in terms of defining 'how much debt' is actually good, or bad, and why.
Personally I see accelerating automation as a pro and not a con for raising minimum wage - it encourages investment into R&D, boosts productivity, and would make a damn good export.

Granted it would be a bit of a pain and call for other measures for remediation after the spread of automation but the goal of a job is productivity in the first place - we don't dig ditched with spoons.
But ARM doesn't sell chips.
This is the kind of thing I always design with the possibility of open sourcing in mind, even if I don’t have buy in or dedicated time to make the open source effort at that moment. Even if you miss it when you’re gone, you’ll have the benefit of hindsight of where the boundaries are between your own business needs and the more general use case, and can take that with you and apply the same lessons (often with improvements) the next time you face a similar problem.
Yeah, no, I know. Google is a big company and my application probably got lost, overlooked or buried in a sea of applications. Still, I think it reflects poorly on a potential employer to ghost candidates.
I'm experimenting with it and I might get rid of it. It's mostly just to try to keep the group active, because it's a small group and if the activity level dies out, the group dies out.

But thanks for the feedback, I'm making a note of it.
> I'm no cheerleader for Intel but if Intel really wanted to they could release competitive ARM offerings.

Except that everybody seems to forget that Apple's ARM chip isn't commodity.

Apple is going to tune their ARM specifically to run portable workloads. For starters, they're going to have humongous caches that make the chips expensive.

And they're going to bury the expensiveness of the chip in the enormous margins of iDevice ecosystem.

I don't remember anyone saying it was impossible. All I said was that it was irrational. But people do irrational things pretty consistently, so irrationality isn't going to stop (some) people.
It's not a competitive market -- employers have more market power than employees. That's why in practice minimum wage increases don't have much of an effect on unemployment. Here's a recent paper on the topic (that cites many of the previous papers that have similar findings): http://digamoo.free.fr/azar719.pdf
Madman, Architect, Carpenter, Judge
“Each Math.random function created for distinct realms must produce a distinct sequence of values from successive calls.”

Nitpick: it would surprise me if any implementation implemented this requirement to the letter.

I think neither of the claims (FTA) “PRNGs are deterministic” and “A PRNG eventually repeats its sequence” are strictly required (for the first you can’t seed Javascript’s Math.Random, so there is no need to be able to regenerate a sequence; for the second, one could generate good pseudo random sequences that never repeat), but the implementations I’m aware of all have those properties, and use fixed-size state.

Given that, the number of PRNGs whose period is at most P is finite. So, one could exhaust that set by creating realms and random number sequences in each of them in a loop (a looooong loop)

The only ways to avoid generating a copy would be to gradually move to generators with more state or to crash.

If we're firmly in the realm of sci-fi (which we are) I find the idea of a neuron-by-neuron replacement of the human brain by nano-sized computational units that function exactly the same way as those neurons, to be a more interesting proposition.

Have you tried listening to them?
It's true that Intel (note, I'm a former employee) has had a mixed track record in creating new businesses outside of desktop and server chips. However, I'd like to point out a few things.

1. When Intel released HT as a way to recover 15% idleness in CPUs, the Linux scheduler took a while before it realized it should schedule work on all full cores before assigning something to a hyperthread.

2. Intel has been adding specialized SIMD vector operations, and wide vector operations, yet popular compilers like GCC were really slow to take advantage of them. One or two blog posts a month will hit the HN front page about inlining assembly or using specialized math APIs like the Intel MKL to extract performance from the cores you're running on.

Apple can add neat blocks like audio, low power video playback, always-on processor, and neural engine because they also release the software APIs for it. Maybe that's Intel's sin. They never realized how hands-off the white box industry needed to be to stay alive and relied too much on OSS developers to fuel general-purpose Linux performance outside of large HPC computers. Intel made add-on things, people didn't use them, and now Intel is perceived as the company that can't innovate.

This is silly. Product managers are not "brand managers" — a good one is far more technical. Google has never claimed to "invent" 20% time — 3M and a great number of other organizations have doubtlessly used something akin to it, but it was hardly heard of in the 2000s. And dual ladders? What? You don't need Dupont for this, of course some companies had technical individuals in the C-suite. Silly post IMHO.

College Papers – How to Write Good Papers in College
Other Michael is buddy-buddy with Kim Jong Un and operated NGO with North Korean dealings. Like when China retaliatory arrested Canadian Garrats who operated a Coffee shop in a prefecture level city on the border of China/North Korea in response to Canada extraditing a Chinese spy to US. No country is going to confirm their spies, but these are pretty obvious hints. Ex-diplomat/NGO is also typical spy cover in China - the country cracked down on foreign NGOs a few years ago with NGO laws packaged with counter-espionage and national security legislation. Both Michaels were also picked up by Ministry of State Security (national security), it was exceedingly clear messaging on day one, months before official chargers, that these two were picked up on espionage in retaliation. There's nothing particularly baffling that a surveillance state which compromised every CIA asset in country 10 years ago knows where foreign intelligence assets are. As someone who follows the space, Chinese retaliatory arrests are calibrated to separate diplomacy and commerce, hence arresting spies and (threatening to) execute drug dealers. Spies because historically spies have no rights, Michaels are fortunate that ICJ ruled spied get consular access last year, so there maybe some movement on that. Regardless, until they start detaining random expats there on business or travel, this is pretty much business as usual. That said, Canadian intelligence assets should GTFO out of the country, because if anything China has under-retaliated for Meng. They arrested 6 Japanese when Japan detained a Chinese fishboat captain over Senkaku. There will be more pressure coordinated with different phases of Meng's trial.
Limiting the money supply on the basis of quantity of some arbitrary metal is in no way creating a 'natural' interest rate in the economy.

Gold acts as an 'independent, non-political' arbiter, but it's nowhere near 'natural'.

How does the discovery of a lot of Gold, somewhere on the planet, related to the 'natural' productivity and growth of a nation?

There's no such thing a 'natural' interest rates - we have to decide how much currency we want in circulation, and we try to use 'objective rules' to do that, and try to keep that system as far away from the Political System as possible.

But since 2008, we are definitely playing with fire in terms of the funny business and 'breaking of our own rules' we are doing at the Fed, i.e. by accepting crap mortgages as collateral etc..
You might be surprised how well the brain can filter things while asleep, at least for some people (and will change over time). I have a light alarm clock that also has bird sounds and one place I lived there were birds just outside my window with the same song as the alarm and they would start a bit earlier than I woke up (hopefully I wasn't disrupting them too much :/). I would sleep through the birds that were at least as loud as the alarm but still wake up to the alarm. I suspect the light part of the alarm helped in that case, but I've had other cases with just very quiet audio alarms that also woke me up, in some cases a radio set to an empty channel at a barely audible level. The light alone does not wake me up most of the time.

Relatedly, a friend once told me about a method of just telling yourself when you need to wake up right before you go to bed. I've tried that quite a few times and always wake up within about 15 minutes of the intended time.

For me, waking up is the easy part, but I really don't function well at all with little sleep and actually getting out of bed can be almost impossible if I've had little sleep. I can't relate to how anyone can work on very little sleep over a long period of time, although lately I have been doing a bit better on little sleep when not using alarms at all (and predictibly returning to an irregular Non-24 schedule).
They do have an economic explanation that makes sense. They’re a form of price discrimination, where some people pay more for a product that is potentially only marginally different. For example, the steep price increase for various storage sizes of iPhones. Price discrimination can be a good thing. In the case of iPhones, it allows Apple to put out a base model at a lower price than it would to make the same profit without price discrimination. In the restaurant industry, it is probably good for both consumers and wait staff. Tipping culture allows restaurants to keep the base price of a meal lower, and allows wealthier customers to tip heavily. At nicer restaurants, it’s not uncommon for wait staff to make a healthy amount in tips.

I agree with the overall sentiment of your comment but..

> It's exclusionary and for zero good technical reason. For every reasonable programming language, there are functions to do everything in UTF-8 that you can do in ASCII, with about the same complexity.

At minimum, unicode does come with a lot of complexity in implementation, and a lot of potential vulnerabilities due to that complexity.

Not saying that excuses all websites, modern DBs handle unicode just fine after all, and the browser takes care of the rendering - (although some might crash your computer), and there are usually builtins for serverside web languages to help you sanitise strings... still, things would be way simpler with any fixed word <8bit encoding without glyph manipulation builtin. So yeah, it's complex, but it's usually worth it.
> Albania was still ruled by iron-handed communist regime and at least based on surface reading seemed to be deeper in the (Stalinist/Communist) ideology than many others, including post-Stalin Soviet Union.

I don't understand this part given that the rest of your post, and the article you link, makes it clear that they had transitioned out of communism 6 years previously. But yeah they were still terribly poor and perhaps worse off under the post-communist regime. They were seen as more backward and less Western than, say, post-Soviet Latvia which was already deep in talks to join the EU - something that remains a long way off for Albania more than 20 years later.
I don't think it was a technical decision. It sounds like a stylistic choice, I suspect in the sentiment of "everyone on the platform should be able to understand each other, no one should be locked off from interesting conversations due to a language barrier", and from there they selected the lowest common denominator language.

To play devil's advocate, I don't think your exampled limitations are meaningful handicaps. Money can be discussed as GBP or EUR. With context it's easy to understand 90F as temperature, and unicode quotes are hardly a compelling restriction.

Of course its speech. And my criticism of unhinged public outcry is speech as well! It's as simple as that.
AVX512 is both integer and floating point, not just FP, so this rant about FP comes across as ill informed.

Despite that I'd agree most people probably see no benefit from these units today. But that could change. For workloads with parallelism, wide SIMD is very efficient - more so than multiple threads anyway. The only way to get people to write vector code is to have vector processing available. Once it's ubiquitously available people might code for it and the benefits may become more apparent.

That makes sense, and is reasonable. Thank you for taking the time to explain. I am now wondering about the space where CRDTs and databases overlap.

(Very unformed thoughts follow) We're used to databases storing the system's current state. If we're lucky, we're writing changes to the database, rather than just the current state, so we can reconstruct the system's state at any point in the past. What would a database that not only stores changes but also resolves conflicts look like, I wonder. A database where CRDT was a column type, I guess.

The whole field of AI safety is trying to figure out a way to write rules that an agent wouldn't instantly try to circumvent, and to find some way to provide basic guarantees about the behavior of a system that is incentivized to do bad things (just like corporations are incentivized to find loopholes in the law, hide their misdeeds, and maximize profits at the expense of the common good).
