I'm confused about this response. A powerful authority is how you enforce those "equal outcomes." You can have authoritarian left (communism) or authoritarian right (fascism), but both are authoritarian. Let me put it this way: Fascism is authoritarianism but authoritarianism isn't fascism.

Edit: Can someone explain the downvotes? Is the argument that there isn't an authoritarian left? I'm referring to this basic model [0]

It takes an existing major aircraft manufacturer years and billions of dollars to get a new aircraft up and running, and that's leveraging decades of experience, staffing, tooling, and existing facilities.

It's not an easy industry to start a startup in.
If that's even possible that is the network's fault.
I think the Zen 2 reasons about the operations and operands and converts them into something like these micro-ops and then schedules them for a functional unit and the renamer:

functional unit renamer
add tmp_reg, eax, 5
st [rsi], tmp_reg mov ebx, temp_reg

Consequently, I don't think you can use the latency tables directly to get "2". I think Agner probably got those 15 and 2 aggregate numbers from measuring them directly rather than calculating them from the latency tables.

BTW, I'm hand waving on the micro-ops and FUs. There's probably some address generation, ... going on that I'm leaving out. I don't even think the renamer requires a translated micro-op. You could replace tmp_reg with renamed(ebx).

Now the downside. What happens at an exception? You have to back all of this optimization out.
No, as others have said, you'd have to apply the same reasoning to a web browser. Google dominates the web search, so there's no need to prevent other browsers because it all drives Google's revenue anyway. Any app that allows you to break out of the garden is banned.

I agree with you, but the flip side is that they are not liable for the speech on their property due to an exception in section 230 of the communications decency act.

If they have shown the ability to control speech on their platforms section 230 should be repealed and Google etc should be responsible for the content on their property like any other publisher.
> Addition in particular is not "simple"

Well... optimized addition isn't simple. But any beginner can implement naive carry-save adders on a breadboard (or Verilog/FPGAs) and get a functional Adder (maybe even ALU) in a weekend.

But you're right. To optimize addition (in particular: the propagation of carries), you need to use a Kogge-Stone Adder, which is pretty sophisticated (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kogge%E2%80%93Stone_adder). And that's from my Bachelor's degree: I'm sure there are newer algorithms that are more sophisticated than Kogge-Stone.

There's a lot of issues at play here at the electricity level. IE: Fanout. All components can only carry so much current (amps). For example, a transistor may only be able to feed 5 to 10 other transistors, so building "Buffers" to increase the current so that you can actually turn on all the transistors is a thing.

Each CMOS transistor has capacitance: so you need a certain amount of electrons before the transistor turns on. Given a level of current (amps), this means you need to wait for enough electrons to get onto the input before the transistor responds.

Doing all of this with the minimal energy usage and maximum speed (minimum latency) is surely complicated. But the "naive" version suitable for beginner play is pretty simple. Like raytracers: you can write a raytracer in just 100 lines of code (it won't be as fast as a professional raytracer, nor have as many features, but you'd get the gist in a single weekend project: https://github.com/matt77hias/smallpt)

---------

In any case, once you get to the final decoded instruction, its "just" a circuit. Sure, Kogge-Stone and Wallace Tree multipliers need a bit of study before you understand them. But they're simple black-boxes. Stick the bits into the correct wires and then a few hundred picoseconds later, you got the result coming out of another wire.

That's what we did. Transparent storage or drawers means you're constantly opening and closing, opening and closing. Instead we got this [1] hardware shelf. The bins are open to view so examining and storing requires no interaction with the bin itself. The bins also come off the rack, so you can grab 2-3 bins and move them to your play area.

The Gaussian curvature of Earth is small enough that for distances below 50 miles and locations south of the Arctic Circle, it really doesn't matter.

But the nice thing about the Mercator map is that it shows a constant bearing (Δlat/Δlong) as a straight line. The only projection which shows great circles as straight lines is the gnomonic projection, but this is limited to showing a very small region before distortion becomes unacceptable.

Where I see effort needing to be spent is an easily setup/usable/configurable video-conferencing package of sorts. A good product would have two things: 1) easy to setup and scale video conferencing out of the box (like literally point at an aws account or k8s cluster and hit "go"), and 2) sdks for manipulating server-side rooms and client-side room/video appearance (but still the default rooms and default grids are in the box).

These two things as a common toolkit would accelerate offerings that could decentralize the marketplace. I've seen jitsi offerings (scalable setup isn't as straightforward last I checked which admittedly was a long time ago), twilio (still someone else's servers), etc. I'm sure these toolkits are being worked on (heck I'm working on one), it just takes a bit of time for the players to catch up in a market that exploded overnight.
Software developer vs. software engineer: Bogus or Real

Actually they are cash break-even, the loss they report is due to GAAP-rules not allowing you to recognize cash on your balance sheet as revenue until you delivered the service.

For the next 12 months they are sitting on 280.2 mil customer deposits that will become irrevocably delivered (and turned into revenue) and 215.4 mil revenue that is collected but not recognized.

For more then 12 months they have 74.3 million in deposits and 118.6 mil deferred revenue collectes.

Given the stickiness of the client and the product I think you can assume this cash will turn into revenue and then the picture looks quite different with an operating loss of 576 mil and 688 mil of non-recognized revenue, they are generating 112 million in excess cash.

That's probably also the reason they are not raising additional cash in the IPO. Their customers are funding the company completely now.
Again, I will redirect you to this well stated argument that illustrates how low risk the store owners and service providers really are:

This is like having a bulletin board in your store and not being able to take anything down from it.

Yes, Google and Apple are big. You can say well, it’s different because in this world there’s only two boards for the entire country, that’s true! But it’s not a censorship problem, it’s an antitrust problem.
> I use bettertouchtool to get window snapping.

This is not a good point at all. Having to rely on third party applications (without any good way to discover them) to provide something that is taken for granted everywhere else is a horrible user experience!

It's the same if you want to use an external, non-Apple, completely normal HDMI monitor - use a third party application to make it use the default (for the monitor) refresh rate (60 Hz) and resolution (1920x1080).

It's the same if you want to use a completely normal USB computer mouse with a scroll wheel - install a third party application in order to make scroll wheel work like you expect.

And pretty much all those third party tools that are required to turn a Mac into a system that is actually working and allowing the user to be productive costs money as well.
They should have to choose between neutral publishing and liability on their networks. If they want to censor then section 230 of the communications decency act should be repealed and let them take ownership of their decisions.

Oooh, I think I know why. First room uses img tags for the walls. Image tags (and canvas tags) do not play well in 3D contexts. For example they ignore depth sorting and rely on z-index. So you cannot properly depth sort them. Now you might wonder why I picked img tags for lvl1, and then divs for lvl2. Profiling showed reduced mem usage for img tags and I thought I 'd take advantage of that optimization. (premature optimization and all that I guess!)

They are not anonymized. We may not always give out things like contact information or fields specifically for joining to other datasets, but we assume the provided data is enough to reasonably identify patients. Age, city, date of diagnosis, race (which can be specific nations for Asian and Pacific Islanders), and the fact they have cancer can be very good clues. If the requestor knows somebody with cancer, it wouldn't be hard to learn other things about them by looking up their record.
>The book "Void Star" is an interesting one

>Lenovo must have realized their screwup, because the later T-series editions went back to discrete mouse buttons.

I have a T431s and a T450s.

The T431s was a sort of "special edition" which I believe was the first to offer the "clickpad". And I agree, it sucks. However, the T450s was already back to a classic trackpad. It doesn't compare to the MBP trackpad (nothing does), but I have no issue with it. So it sounds like the 440 series was the only Thinkpad with that clickpad?
As a part of a minority, I heavily disagree. The new push for diversity create self doubt. am I really achieving on merit, or just the result of this new social justice movement?

Rather, they just want me to be a victim, someone who they can rely upon to keep themselves employed.

I think this analogy is too simplistic. Video fundamentally has a level of engagement and connection to human senses and perception of reality that goes far beyond photography. By the time that fast/convenient photo manipulation tools became widely available (i.e. not Photoshop 1990-2010, but well into the 2010s), video had already long replaced photo as the average human's gold standard for evidence.

Even just thinking about the past 5 years (or even just the past 5 months) think of how much impact citizen phone video has had just in the U.S. – outside of a courtroom. Even well before George Floyd, the power and utility of bystander footage has arguably been the strongest factor in public advocacy for state and local police to mandate officer-worn body cams.

Keep in mind that when you take these calculated risks, there are actually several types of risks involved.

There's personal risk: What are the chances that I will suffer direct personal harm from this encounter?

There's direct social risk: What are the chances that others involved in the encounter will suffer direct personal harm?

There's direct propagation risk: What are the chances that the infectious virus further propagates because of this encounter, where it has the potential to cause substantially more harm to others outside of the encounter?

And then there are indirect personal, social, and propagation risks: What are the chances that because of this encounter, the pandemic grows more severe or goes on longer than it otherwise would have, extending the length of time before we can truly return to normal life?

I'm not saying that you, personally, don't factor all of these risks into your decision. But I think many people are only considering direct personal risk.

> Which is why I'm highlighting the account for pushing a 100% political agenda.

Fair enough, as far as I'm concerned.

My main purpose was to (hopefully) give some context and explanation of why some people might write responses like that.

I'm not sure though, if the intent of that account is to push a political agenda, rather than just feeling compelled to counter what appears (to this person) to be another political agenda.

If you'd read my responses, you will find that many of them are political in nature as well. However, that is not because I like to campaign for politics. Almost always it is because I notice a glaring (implied) political bias in something and feel a strong need to point out what is missing there.

Personally, I would rather discus technical aspects. But for many topics, it's usually other people who are far more qualified to do that. So I often stay silent on those.

Consequently, it can easily be construed that I have to be some political agent (or worse). But in actuality it's mostly the nature of the content here on HN (and how it changed over time) that has leads to these results.

That said, of course that account could have been made for purely political purposes. I really would not know.

I'd bet dollars to peanuts that the temporaries are stored in the gpr prf. It's big, and it's sized so it's not usually a constraint, so they can just push memory operands in there when there is free space and when it would be useful. And most importantly, unlike the vector registers (or any other structure already in the CPU), it can directly feed the ALUs without any new datapaths.
The fact that people adapt to not having it does not mean that something isn't critical infrastructure. Everything considered critical infrastructure has, at one time or another, been something that humans were adapted to not having.

In 1900-1940 you could talk to people far outside walking distance, miles away, without needing to pay a phone bill or choose one person to ring up and talk to, using some of the most advanced technology on the planet, to achieve things you simply couldn't do any other way, and explore phenomena nobody had looked at.

In 1940-~1990 you could talk to people internationally, places you could never go on holiday, watching valves give way to integrated circuits, lead acid batteries turning to NiCad, improving signal sensitivity, reliability, portability, take part in the hobby developing around the mass availability of personal cars for things like assisting at sports events, or disaster assistance and relaying emergency messages, competitions like radio contact from hilltops, taking part in the developing space industry - satellites!

Now you can't build advanced radios from scratch in your shed, they're massively complicated microcontrollers. There's no need to build your own power supplies, cheap and efficient and reliable ones are abundant. There's no need to build your own radios, for the same reason. And the internet exists; chatrooms where you can talk to random people around the world are abundant, internet broadcasts of airport control towers and such are available, smartphones make portable contact nearly ubiquitous. Exploring new things is fine, but when you can find hundreds of YouTube videos showing you that it really is explored pretty thoroughly by now, that damps the allure.
