The 8086 has 40 external pins [1]. There are 20 address lines shared with 16 data lines, so it's a 16-bit computer that can address 1 megabyte. The remaining pins are mostly assorted control signals. (Intel liked to keep the pin count pointlessly low, so the pins are multiplexed and have several uses.)

The external pins are switching at the 5 MHz clock speed, and there are four clock periods for one memory bus cycle. The address pins send out the address the first cycle, wait a cycle for memory to respond, and read or write the data the third cycle.

The CPU and the memory bus are working at the same clock speed. (Although somewhat decoupled because the 8086 had prefetching.) I think you're going the wrong direction with kHz I/O and delivery bursts.

I've simplified things a bit. The 8086 User's Manual [2] explains all the signals in great detail if you really want to know.

[1] I see that you carefully counted the 45 wires off the die. The power and two grounds each use two bond wires in parallel for more current. There are two wires to bias the substrate. So that's the "extra" 5 wires.

I don't think this comment adds anything of value to this conversation. Lots of horrible people have said wise things, and lots of great people have said horrible things. Their reputation and the merit of a given thing that was said is uncorrelated.

I mean, there's a long list of people who said things people find offensive: Eric Raymond, Richard Stallman, Barack Obama, William Shockley, Freeman Dyson, Donald Rumsfeld, etc. It takes fairly little maturity to not let that take away from the insightful comments they have made.
Let's not forget Manning and Asange.
In this case it included only one of two vehicles and only part of the heat as we use wood as well. The impact of vehicles depends on where they are during the day. If they're at home you can put in more solar without more batteries as you'll just charge them directly. For winter heat the panel orientation is important so the winter drop isn't as severe when the sun is low. If you want 100% electric winter heat then sizing the array for that and having excess power in summer shouldn't be that much of a penalty as the battery is what is expensive and winter heat doesn't require any more of it. You'll just end up gifting the power company more power during the summer time, which will help with the electric load of all the air conditioning. Investing in insulation and a heat pump may be better though.
Love this, definitely needs part 2 and 3 for rebasing and so forth.
Thanks for your response! I'm super excited to hear that some of those features are in development.

Regarding the "separate property" problem, I agree it is a bit tough to tackle however there's one way to distinguish it: does the property have a separate, legal address? A basement suite or a guest house does not, a condo or apartment in a 4-plex does. Airbnb could require hosts to provide those details in order to be counted under the "have the whole place to yourself" category.

Another way I was thinking you could do it is to add a higher level of grouping to the property type menu (the one that has "townhouse", "cabin" etc.) And clarify which of those types should be considered standalone and which are more guesthousey. Those categories currently feel super arbitrary, so they could use more structure regardless.

This is coming very close to proving that Zuck is the Second Coming of Augustus.
If you're talking up to a couple thousands years ago (Medieval up to Roman times), it was possible to live pretty long if you were wealthy enough to afford food and shelter. For reference many well known greek writers reached 70+.

If you're talking prehistoric times, the food supply was very limited with no agriculture and no trade. You'd die of food shortage sooner rather than later, physically unable to hunt or to keep up with the nomadic tribe.

That is assuming that one didn't die because of war or disease. Most infections meant certain death with no antibiotics.
You can get chin up bars to install at your home - without needing screws. I heartily recommend them. I bought them late last year and now that I work from home, they're awesome.

Did anyone (unauthorized) really show up at the base? It seems unlikely given there is a large buffer zone and armed guards responding to people who violate it, last I heard. It's kind of like Mordor, one does not just walk in.

They went "viral" immediately before the conflict, so that doesn't prove anything. The fact that ghost sent them data shows that nothing was "deleted", only suspended. This whole situation rests on the fact that one emotional abuser of plan limits went to their mob immediately and then bombarded ghost with no time to respond.

Personally, I do not even believe that someone "works so hard" that they can forget what limits they chose, when they made a clear decision on which plan to use. It seems to be as shitty customer behavior as ghost ceo's answers at the very least. I also believe that if they sent an email asking for data after being suspended, or, after being charged for a new plan, sent an email asking for a refund or a discount because they "didn't" know, they'd get it. Everyone loves a good service, but nobody likes abusive personalities who scream, shout and accuse without a good reason, for things that didn't even happen yet. That's a definition of an asshole.

What I can't believe is that almost everyone here jumps to one-sided conclusions after an alarmist blog post that is few hours old. Good lesson on how to deal with them though (although I already knew what to do in a similar situation).

The BEAM is great, but the Elixir language itself is really what spoiled me. After having written ruby for years, I really enjoy what the Elixir language has to offer. Pattern matching[0] and the pipe operator[1] eliminate a ton of intermediate variables. Functional programming took a while to get used to, but I'm really starting to like thinking immutably. Now that I'm more advanced in the language, I'm starting to get into the Lisp style hygienic (and unhygienic macros)[2]. The Elixir standard library is really well done, everything is consistent and well documented. Elixir language level built in libraries like ExUnit[3] and Embedded Elixir (EEx)[4] are very high quality. For me the BEAM is just the cherry on top, I really like the Elixir language itself!

What downsides does AMP have that your proposal would not?

Another way to think about this is, people were already thinking along these lines and tried to build something, and that thing is AMP. If you want to build something that avoids the failings you see in AMP, you're going to need to think hard about how your plan is different.

This is my 2020 paper in a similar vein.

We found attenuated sex differences in amygdala resting-state connectivity between boys and girls with autism, but robust sex differences in amygdala connectivity in typically developing boys and girls. This pattern was observed using both univariate and multivariate analytical approaches, consistent with gender incoherence hypothesis, which stands in contrast with extreme male brain theory.
[addendum: We are examining other networks now, and this pattern is found in other prominent brain networks, but not all.]

Dang, this is extremely valuable feedback and a beautifully balanced review. Thank you!

As for the friction of adding data, we have smartphone apps and an email and SMS bot to try to help with that. But ideally you automate it. There are dozens of apps and gadgets we integrate with (RescueTime, Fitbit, Trello, Garmin, GitHub, etc etc) and we have an API, or you can make an IFTTT or Zapier recipe/applet/zap/whatever.

Oh yeah, and I should point out https://blog.beeminder.com/cheating

Finally, good point about being careful what you beemind. We try to minimize the danger of that with our one-week "akrasia horizon". You're never on the hook for more a week into the future, i.e., you can stop or change a goal at any time, with a one-week delay. So you haven't lost much if you realize you're beeminding the wrong things.

Or if it's just that more important things are getting crowded out, our self-serving advice is to just beemind those things as well!

Thanks again for this comment!
Here the fault is not the buyer or seller but the government. If you didn't financially penalise the smoker for smoking, he would have a disincentive to smoke. However, the government might decide to subsidise healthcare, thereby taking away the financial penalty of smoking. The government now takes away the financial burden of smoking and encourages people to smoke. I don't think people should smoke, which is why I would object to the government subsidising it.

If people want to indulge their very immediate needs at the future cost to their hip-pocket or health that's Thier indulgence and is what they rationally decided will make them happy. I think it's immoral to take money from taxpayers to subsidise behaviour that has harmful long-term effects.

> That’s a pretty negative take on the work ethic of non-elites.

Nowhere in my post did I mention elites. In fact, many of my FAANG co-workers were not elites. Tech fares much better here than, say, investment banking.

> While you’re correct that the institutions you mentioned select for intelligence

That's not what I said at all -- if I had to say they selected for one thing, I'd say that the institutions I mentioned probably select for conscientiousness.

> Also, the small percentage of freeloaders out there are very good at sniffing out opportunities for taking advantage of the system...

Again, this is spoken like someone that's never worked in social services and is used to the "social niceties" that something like an Ivy-league education or a cozy tech job offers. I'd prefer looking at this in the abstract (because studies will always be politicized), and freeloading can definitely be an optimal strategy[1].

> But you’re definitely wrong about social mobility in the USA.

Maybe because I'm in Texas rather than California, but AC is the absolute last thing I'd want turned off.

That isn't how it was. When Phoenix was initially released, it was running the Netscape rendering engine with everything else stripped away. There was no IE Tab. Throughout the process of becoming Firebird, and then Firefox, IE Tab was never part of the core browser or default installation. I know: I ran all of these browsers as they came out.

Even though many sites were built specifically for IE, it was very rarely bad enough that you couldn't manage with Firefox. Compatibility hadn't gotten that bad.

(If you were going to make a dramatically simplified browser today, however, I do think this would be an excellent route to go.)

Correct me if I’m wrong but these all seem to fix problems that exist in a local clone only. And that’s where none of my “oh shit” moments happen.

All of my oh shit moments are two flavours: I have pushed to remote, or I have pushed to remote and force pushes are disallowed.

I want a list of as graceful solutions as possible for those scenarios. And certainly they can be real-world solutions like “this cannot be undone in a desirable way so here’s an approach to handle the commit(s) necessary to fix the problem.

This also brings up a question I didn’t realize I had: are people using git without frequently pushing to remote? I feel like having a remote backup of my work in progress is the killer feature. I can’t imagine doing any amount of work and not backing it up.

Many of these even now remain on dial-up, so they just have a modem and the cable is a phone jack. If you have a favorite bodega ATM that always takes 15 seconds to respond after you type your PIN, it's probably dialing. Newer ATMs almost certainly use wireless modems, if they aren't just connected to the Internet.

Fun fact, the modems still negotiate at 2400 or 9600 baud, because the extended negotiation times of higher-speed protocols more than negate time saved in transferring the small payload.

They even make gateways to bridge old dial-up ATMs to IP: https://atmpartmart.com/wireless-atm-modems/systech-box-ipg-...
I agree with the grandparent as well to a degree. The statement "I have created photoreal portraits of Roman Emperors" is tenuous at best. I'm not intending to suggest that the creator of this work didn't spend a significant amount of time and effort or that the end result isn't very impressive. But I do think a disclaimer is warranted in that there's no guarantee that the resulting images actually look like the emperors. I also agree that some type of interactive visualization would be great. But I think these images are very cool as well :)
>In a discussion about the arrow of time, this is somewhat begging the question!

Not really. "Been in" isn't meant to imply a temporal relationship. If a system has been in microstates A, B and C, then it can potentially remember states A, B and C. It cannot remember state D. That doesn't stay anything about whether or not A preceeded B, or C preceeded A.

I agree with your last two paragraphs, but not the formulation in the middle para. "you cannot remember the future" ... this just seems like an non-useful observation to me. I think the problem comes from this line:

>We (and other physical systems) are able to form memories in one direction, but not the other.

I think this is wrong. The issue is that our memories are of macrostates, and macrostates are subject to the entropy gradient. If we could form memories of microstates, we'd effectively be able to remember events that had no arrow of time associated with them. But then you say this yourself in your final line. And Maccone's concept seems fine to me (as if that matters :)
I think if git submodules were architectured differently, they could have been a really interesting solution for package management. In fact my last place of work uses a layer on top of submodules as part of their internal package manager. I think they could be really special but unfortunately are now sort of relegated to history.
