The best design is control bits which RISC-V doesn’t have but x86 and ARM do have.

The best design is part of the core ISA and not and extension since overflow checking is fundamental to modern languages.
That’s why it was critical to respond. The comment I responded to is overtly and unequivocally expressing arrogant repression (“no politics” and “no religion” discussed at work because “most people” can’t rationally talk about it).

If you think my comment is a personal attack, that’s wildly unreasonable. The parent comment is the one behaving that way and it is absolutely fair and uncontroversial to point out their own words demonstrating thuggish repression.

In fact, not challenging their comment on these reprehensible points would be the far worse action.

For embedded applications, which are RISC-V’s bread and butter, the hardware and software are designed hand in glove. Eg if you are designing a custom RISC-V chip for a media encoding system you will want extensions for that application, and make use of those in your development tool chain. The software for your Hardware, or at least the performance and functionality critical part, is often only targeted at your hardware, not any arbitrary RISC-V system.
The US bank market is (was?) highly competitive, the US still uses a lot of cash and checks, you can generally only deposit at ATMs for your bank, and non-bank ATMs have very high fees. So it becomes a distinct advantage to have more locations for customers, because it makes banking with your bank more convenient.

I'd like a Good Government guidebook for citizens. List some general principles, some case studies, cites for further research.

I tried to read some books on auditing and financial accounting. Way over my head. I need the ELI5 layperson versions.

Am a recovering activist. So much (wasted) effort. I did learn two heuristics.

#1

Talk About Quality

"Fraud" is a convo full stop. Don't talk about fraud, theft, grift.

Mistakes are indistinguishable from fraud. And combatting both has the same remedies.

So only talk about quality, confidence, reducing errors, etc. Nice safe blame-free neutral 90/10 language that gets everyone on board and is less likely to trigger overt opposition. (Covert sabotage will continue, because the grifters won't be fooled by your Aw Schucks demeanor.)

#2

Follow The Money

Per quote from The Wire upthread. I learned from Bev Harris (Black Box Voting) that (mis)appropriations is a huge threat to election integrity. And in many places, that's the sheriff's office. They don't care about machines, voting, elections. For them it's just about the grift.

Twenty years later, I still don't have a clue how to mitigate this. One half-baked notion was to advocate for solutions that both more in line with the public interest and had more potential for grift. Another is, since scandal is evergreen topic, is feed info to opposition. That didn't work at all against Bob Moses (The Power Broker), so probably not a great plan.
It's surreal to see how far a lack of self awareness can go, reading all the comments either implying or outright stating, "yes, I agree, and it's the fault of the left/right". Attitudes like that are exactly why I don't share political thoughts in real life.

Paul Cohen wrote an exposition of his proof. It was republished by Dover: https://store.doverpublications.com/0486469212.html

It starts with background material in logic and set theory (fast-paced, but reasonably easy to follow and fairly complete in what it covers). Contents:

1. General background in logic

2. Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory

3. The consistency of the continuum hypothesis and the axiom of choice

4. The independence of the continuum hypothesis and the axiom of choice

I haven't gone through the whole thing, but what I've read is pretty clear. And the whole book is only 150 pages. This is not a textbook - no exercises.

(Disclaimer: I'm a mathematician, but not a logician or a set theorist.)
True, in this particular case it does seem inefficient. And of course there's nothing stopping one from just doing this with a bit of js.

But in the bigger picture, the advantages of this approach are huge:

1. no need to maintain state, routing, and so on on the front- and backend, which removes a huge source of complexity. It's all in one place. And if something in the DB is updated, it's trivial to make it live-update the client state. And because of websockets, such an update is almost instant.

2. being able to use the same language (and templating) on server and client (for the most part).

3. the ability to just use regular function calls to retrieve data, and selectively display what you want by using it in templates. No need to set up endpoints for the client, and no need to worry that perhaps accidentally the endpoint might send data down the wire that shouldn't be there (and that you might not notice because the JSX doesn't display it). I think in just the past year I've read about a number of serious data leaks that were basically a result of this.

4. no need (or not as much need) to keep an eye on the js payload. Want to format dates in particular way? Just add the dependency and use it however you like. It's only diff in the output that gets sent to the client!

5. little to no need to deal with a complicated build process.

6. server-side rendering out of the box, and in a simple manner!

7. less taxing on the client. No need for processing templates and a lot of code. Of course, the downside is that the server has to do more work.

Now obviously latency can be a downside, as is (potentially) increased memory and processor usage on the server. It's not a magic solution to everything :). Hell, my last project still needed quite a bit of javascript for some heavy interactivity where latency had to be avoided. But it's still astounding to me how many projects have become drastically simpler with the LiveView-approach!
Yes, but it’s a richer state machine than previously thought, and we aren’t aware of the mechanisms it’s using for internal state
> “ Most humans can't discuss those topics rationally. It's not arrogant to say this, it's just basic truth.”

No, this is a deeply arrogant and harmful thing to say. When it comes to beliefs, nearly anything that tries to generalize to “most humans” is at best arrogant ignorance and at worst actively repressive.
does youtube-dl -U still works?
Usually when a country abandons a tax, I assume there’s some heavy lobbying by a few that would massively benefit from it and a complete disregard for anyone and everything else.
The one and only purpose of Developer ID is to prevent malware. Apple imposed the Developer ID code signing requirement on Mac developers a number of years ago. If you don't sign your Mac app with a Developer ID cert, then macOS will warn about malware and refuse to launch the app when Mac users download it.

Almost all known Developer ID cert revocations have been for malware authors. These revocations are initiated by Apple, not requested by the (malware) developers.

There seems to be a lot of misconceptions about Developer ID, because people are comparing them to web site certs, but Developer ID is very different. When a Developer ID cert is revoked, all software ever signed with that cert is immediately disabled on every Mac in the world. It's a remote kill switch. This kill switch is only used in extreme circumstances, such as malware distribution.

The cert owner's desires are not really relevant to Apple. The cert is for malware prevention only. Some Mac developers would prefer to be able to distribute their software without Apple's permission, and balk at having to pay $99 per year to Apple for code signing, but we effectively have no choice.
I don't get it. If you're sharing logic across web and mobile doesn't that demand moving as much work as possible to the server? I've built a plenty of web and mobile apps and that's how I've always done it. Maybe I'm not thinking of the kind of tasks you're talking about. Can you give an example of what kind of process would need to be run on device that's independent of UI?

> The whole point of open source licensing is to prevent future releases from being under more restrictive licenses.

That a point of copyleft licenses. It's not a point of permissive licenses. Providing a certain degree of freedom to the direct licensee is the common shared point of open source licenses, permissive and copyleft.
fusion is not just hard, it’s opportunity cost. Let’s say you have budget to implement the top 10 most important fusions. On other ISAs you’d use that budget on things that aren’t about condition codes or array access.

This implies memory. Venus fly traps use calcium gradients for short-term memory [1]. It would be interesting to learn how this organism remembers.

Depends on how bit the firm is. Very large consultancies with good lawyers who can commit to long-term support can do this and I have seen it. For example, one consultancy I was at charged "several pennies per billing statement" in exchange for re-doing the billing and statement system for a large telco. The consultancy also got a fixed fee upfront for initial investment.

This is sort of revenue sharing -- more customers, more statements (though not more services per same customer) means more billings
Texas law is quite open to interpretation. Reckless driving is defined as "a person commits an offense if the person drives a vehicle in wilful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property." [1]

Driving at that distance is wanton disregard for the safety of the persons in the bus, but that's open to interpretation of the officer at the scene.

I'm just serving your point by quibbling about the law. The driver's intent is quite clear. Intimidating people because you disagree with them is unacceptable behavior. In this case, I suspect it's also illegal.
I remember having a discussion in the early 2000s about WordPerfect still staying around for various legal use-cases and medical transcriptions. I would have thought these folks would have moved on and something would have been able to fill it’s niche.
Why Do We ‘Rest’?
I generally trust that librarians take the attitude towards categorization and labeling that your source presents, as a neutral exercise that has to be done for practical concerns. Some people will "be predisposed to think of labeled and filtered resources as objectionable", but that's wrong, and the library has a duty to try and structure things to minimize that incorrect predisposition. That doesn't seem to be the attitude the Internet Archive is taking here - information like "this article was part of a disinformation campaign" or "this article was banned by Medium" is relevant only to the extent that it discourages people from reading it or believing what it has to say.

Some of the practices you're describing in book publishing do bother me. I have no issue with the author of a work making corrections, errata, disclaimers, etc. But when a publisher agrees to publish a book, and then reneges because they don't agree with its contents, I find that disturbing.
Things we wouldn't have without government intervention in the free market:

Alternatively, the bridge operator could offer a refund of the tolls if the transit of the bridge exceeds a contractually-guaranteed time. The profit motive would ensure adequate towing capabilities are allocated for the bridge.

If towing is controlled by the political apparatus, then perhaps they don't send the tow trucks if a vehicle is blocking the bridge to make a political statement.
It works quite well actually. Nice work.
I think part of the reason it caught on here (US) is that it's been included with the plans for so long and as such is considered baseline functionality. You don't know if someone you're talking to will be on WhatsApp, Signal, etc but in the US you can pretty much assume the person you're talking to can receive MMS.

...until you can't, as this thread shows. This is also part of what's keeping me from using my PinePhone as a daily driver.
> Without review process the volume of papers that get produced and published freely online will be so much that people will feel the pain. This is already happening in ML community because everyone dumps a slightly different but not so diff paper on Arxiv.

I wish someone would make a technological solution to this. One way is an aggregator of scores which weights exponentially big for known subject experts. This is basically review but all experts are allowed to weigh in, not just the chosen reviewers which are either random or sometimes even biased.

Another far fetched dream solution would be to come up algorithm to review the paper, or at least find if its similar to some other paper. The way papers are currently written it would have to be some sort of natural language processing AI, something like GPT-3 maybe.

Of course what I describe is basically youtube for science and there can be a problem because of that. These days creators cater their videos to the algorithm rather than the audience. Since there isn't really a way that the algorithm can capture actual audience demand nuances, videos are being made predominantly for lowest common denominator of a genre. This can manifest very poorly in this papers system and then it would matter so much more.
Well, maybe, but a DMCA doesn't really give the RIAA any legal means to request the takedown of something they don't own the copyright to (i.e. youtube-dl's source-code).

Not sure what RIAA's endgame is though. I'm somewhat fearing that they are coordinating with Youtube in an attempt to prevent any organised effort against youtube's next obfuscation or something.

I believe the particular design of the top-two primary allows anyone to enter the primary and list any party as their "preferred party." So the party might endorse a particular candidate, they can't prevent other candidate from getting on the ballot under their party name.

The virus isn’t magic. If you have a testing and tracing system in place and act quickly with temporary restrictions you can squash any outbreaks that do make it through.

And meanwhile life in those areas is basically normal. I’m in one now. Functionally we’re much more free than people in places with heavy lockdowns and fear.
Interesting and practical.
This runs on what is essentially an emulator, and I expect it to use techniques that rewrites executable memory or does unusual system calls. Malware use similar techniques to hide themselves, and therefore, false positives are to be expected.

These are also very common in size constrained demoscene productions. This especially funny to coders who work really hard to squeeze every single byte out of their production to suggest that they can fit a malware in there.
Yes. There are cases where cmov is a killer beast and for example it makes your browser faster.

JSC goes to great efforts to select it in certain cases where it’s a statistically significant overall speed up. I think the place where it’s the most effective for us is converting hole-or-undefined to undefined on array load. Even on x86 where cmov is hella weird (two operands, no immediates) it ends up being a big win.
Snowden's leaks showed that Skype allowed governments to wiretap its video calls since at least 2010, when those wiretaps were ingested into PRISM. That is before the Microsoft acquisition.

Getting It Right First Time:The Power of AI to Help Pick Best Actor for the Role
Vi is a text editor, not a word processor.

The important difference (for me) is that a word processor understands proportional font geometries and physical page dimensions, so I can layout the page interactively. For example, I have some text that I want to fit on a single page of A4 in Helvetica 12pt, and I'm willing to edit it until it fits.

I think that's a really hard problem to solve in a text editor, but it's trivial in a word processor.

I also use WordPerfect for DOS, because it's a full-featured word processor that you can use in a terminal (I think the author of this site uses it in graphical mode, but I prefer to use it in an xterm).

Here's a screenshot, notice how WordPerfect knows where the text will wrap.

Not sure about "legal battles", but I don't think it will be quite as it was. It was always wise to keep existence of youtube-dl sort of public secret, since our, ehm, data sources were never keen of it in the first place. Even promoting it on a large platforms like HN or reddit was pretty sketchy. But now basically everyone knows about it, user base is going to grow even more, which will be even more of a problem for sites like youtube. And, consequentially, there will be more pushback.

And, yeah, by the way: let's not forget that it's youtube and the likes of it who are actually the enemy of youtube-dl. All these RIAA notices and stuff are just tools.
A place I was working at in the early 90's cleared out a storage room of old software boxes. I snagged together complete sets of WP 5.1 in both 3.5" disks and 5.25" disks. Grey box, manuals and all.

Not much. The organism is expressing a preference for staying alive. That is a default preference for life.

The question of volition only emerges with higher preferences or ones at odds with survival.

Opportunity cost in what sense? If the ISA is simple and regular, then the silicon costs should be miniscule, and the engineering costs not meaningfully larger than if those instructions were separate unfused instructions that had separate encodings instead.
Respectfully, this seems like less of an argument and more of a slogan. It's hard to see why the Lindy effect, adoption, "only true scarcity", uncensorability, or instant global transfers would imply a large eventual decrease in volatility.
Trying to redefine work from something it has been for all of human history (a place where you do work) into some sort of personal self expression is what is arrogant and harmful. Things are the way they are for reasons. Don't remove a fence until you know why it's there, and we know why the fence of no politics or religion is there (most humans aren't good at compartmentalizing their personal feelings on subjective social issues once those personal feelings are out in the open in an environment where you aren't around people who all share your personal feelings)

Back in the day, my then-law firm was upgrading from DOS to Windows. There were some lawyers who said that of course we should upgrade from WordPerfect for DOS to the Windows version because, after all, WordPerfect was the industry standard for law firms. But the techies among us successfully argued that we shouldn't give a [hoot] what other law firms were using — what mattered was what our clients were using, which our surveys showed was uniformly Microsoft Word for Windows. That proved prescient.
