How to Interpret Financial Statements
They have been at the forefront for other technologies as well (I think that I saw this first in the sitcom Silicon Valley). A few examples include : VCR, secure online payments, affiliate marketing, streaming services, video conferencing, social media (?) etc. Even today, they are working on virtual reality, sex robots, etc. Ethics aside, it's fascinating to note that porn has had such a disproportionate impact on tech.
Another major difference is the memory model. In X86 other CPU’s must always see the writes of a core exactly in the right order. This limits the ability to reorder store ops significantly. ARM requires a memory barrier for this. This is a major reason why X86 emulation is so slow. One must basically issue a memory barrier after every store op.

M1 actually also implements the X86 memory model too in HW. It’s only usable for the rosetta applications and comes with perhaps 20% perf penalty. But it’s still way better than emulating it with barriers.

In C++ terms it pretty much means X86 is always seq_cst. With ARM one can actually get benefit of the different memory model options. As an example one can do an atomic access without having to flush the whole store buffer out, which is impossible in X86.

Due to the instruction coding and memory model for multicore I don’t really see X86 dominating anymore in the upcoming decades.

And as the modern OoO cores are so similar internally it’s not even a big deal in the end. AMD shouldn’t have any issues with producing a Zen arm core. Switch the inst decoder and that’s pretty much it (ton of design work for sure). Keep the X86 mem model optional for emulation and binary translation can be almost thought as just making X86 instructions into fixed width ahead of time.
Yes, assault weapons are a different category, legally and technically, from semi-automatic weapons which are the majority of firearms manufactured and sold today in the U.S.

The anti-gun lobby has conflated the terms to push a blanket ban on anything that looks remotely military. But functionally, it's two separate categories and fully automatic weapons require a federal permit that takes about a year.

Ear buds are an area where some products are incredibly cheap to produce and can be treated like products that wear out (like underwear). They are insubstantial and easy to throw out. But there is a cycle where more premium products are made which then get copied and lose value. There will always be some people who want the best, but in a few years time the cheaper alternatives will probably sell more and be treated as disposable. They are fundamentally different products.

How do you deal with them after hearing something like this? The resentment and/or feelings of guilt are too much...
That depends on the post. For instance, I believe that democracy is a mistake and we should be ruled by an authoritarian king. You probably believe this to be a lie, and that I'm likely being manipulated by social media. But I believe what I believe through a series of reasonable and logical arguments from my perspective.

So why do I believe it? Because it makes sense to me. I would guess that it's the same for everyone else. By trying to prevent this lie from being spread you are rejecting the fact that I reached this conclusion in a valid manner because you don't agree with it.

Mainstream media has gotten a lot worse in the last few decades because subscriptions have tanked and now most of their profit determined by how many clicks facebook and twitter send their way. Newspapers have to choose between competing with buzzfeed or closing their doors.

What's the clear legal definition of an assault weapon?

E.g. as referenced elsewhere in the comments here, the federal assault weapons ban clearly talked about "semi-automatic assault weapons", suggesting the legal definition was not so clearly "only full-automatics"?

>Standardized parts and a well defined firmware interface (and thus "standard" bootloaders instead of a multitude like on ARM)

That was true ~15years ago but less so today. Modern PC EUFI bootloaders are bigger and more bloated than any uboot build in existence, and things like device tree support in linux means that you can support various boards with the same kernel (including boards that don't exist yet). Sure you'll probably still need custom bootloaders for most boards, but it's not like you can swap your motherboard BIOS/UEFI chips and expect them to work either. The PC "platform" with hardcoded physical addresses for your serial ports is nice if you're running DOS but it's not really relevant for modern operating systems which have to employ much more complex hardware discovery mechanisms.

It's true that on ARM it's still a bit anarchic and bespoke in practice but that's mainly because there's no reason to push for strong standardization when every vendor is building their own kernels for their own devices anyway.

But the tools do exist (on Linux at least, not sure about the other OSs), if desktop ARM becomes mainstream things could settle fairly quickly. It's less of a technical problem and more of a "why bother?" problem.

Yeah, and depressed/inattentive Indians are just lazy, right? Those who kill themselves were just weak? What about those with heart problems?

You haven't seen the videos [0] [1]? Interesting, did you look for them? Didn't the news report on them? Did you see the affidavits? [2] [3] [4]

Or do you just interpret all of that in a way that is consistent with your belief that these are all spurious allegations by bad faith actors?

> I don't expect any Youtube video to provide evidence to begin with, I expect it in court, where over 50 cases have failed to produce a single piece of evidence.

Surely you understand that sworn affidavits are evidence?

> I make statements about the reality that santa and big foot don't exist because there's never been any evidence showing they do.

You've never seen a video purportedly of Bigfoot? Or did you interpret it as a hoax because of your priors? You've never heard of Saint Nicholas? Or do you think that he never existed because someone told you outlandish stories about him and that colored your perception of the entire thing?

> I'm opposing your suggestion that videos stating something very provable without any kind of evidence is the same thing as what I'm doing, and I've explained that stark difference.

You're asserting that there isn't any evidence when you're actually ignorant of evidence and defending the decision of a major corporation to prevent their platform from being used to share evidence.

I'm not really keen to present evidence myself here because I think its clear that there is no such thing as evidence without interpretation, and most people (on both sides of the issue) have already decided to interpret everything in the way that justifies their biases. I'm also not convinced that there was enough fraud to change the outcome of the election (although the attorney general of Texas and 17 other states do seem to think so [5]). But there's so much purported evidence of fraud it was pretty easy to go get some links so I could disprove the notion that there hasn't been any presentation of evidence. There has been enough to raise questions about election integrity. Which is actually where these allegations of bad faith start to become really interesting because the same people saying there's no evidence are accusing people of bad faith for their arguments alleging fraud that refer to evidence. So humans being human, basically, which is why I'm actually much more interested in the epistemological and cognitive issues that arise in this case.

> Q: Do "minimum wage" rules apply 1) in theory, 2) in practice to postgraduate students?

If you have to find a part-time to pay some of your expenses yes. In that case a part-time in Lisbon will pay you slightly more than half of your room and in "your case" it would pay the whole room. It's a BIG difference if you have to go down that road.

> Yet more [ancient] data: UK science research council funding for PhD students in the late 1990s was nothing to get excited about; I have an old bank statement here, BBSRC paid me the princely sum of £1377 on 1 July 1998, and by the way, that was for that quarter not for a month.

I do agree that post-grads are very badly paid. But that's another issue.

> Q: Do we really think postgraduate students should expect their parents to still be funding them?

Not really, but if there's an emergency I think parents will not let their kids starve.

And this hackernews rhetoric of 'if I suffered everyone has to suffer as well' needs to end. That's not how you move forward.

Youtube has 55 hours uploaded every minute (iirc). Its not "the internet"'s fault that, of all the content available youtube recommended Alex Jones's videos 15 billion times. Or that facebook has been recommending and promoting antivaxer content and communities to mothers' groups. (And specifically mothers who its algorithms think might be taken in by conspiracy thinking).

The blame lies with our peers who work at those companies. And every manager who prioritises their own advertising profits over healthy sensemaking amongst their billions of users.

Still Rusting – One Year Later
Many reasons.

- For one when a news article is incorrect it is very easy to hold accountable the source of that information. How many people keep track of who said what on the internet?

- Fake Information takes more time to respond to than true information. False news travels 6 times faster (..) than truthful news [0].

- Media has a cycle of information that is way slower and more curated (even if manipulative) which allows true information to be heard louder.

- It's becoming easier and easier to fake image, video, and audio in a way never seen before [1].

- It's way easier for platforms like FB and Twitter and YT to make you spiral down a rabbit hole of similar content. Sure, this did happen in the past, but the current level of detailed recommendations makes it really easy for people to lose context inside their bubble.

- People are not machines, if they hear a message many times by different sources that trigger the right emotional responses they will believe it to be true. Now group every point and compound it by a lot of consumption and ingest it into monkey-like brains :)

Likewise, could he wake up one morning, find his machine caught in an infinite loop, and tell the world "hey, I just proved this machine will never halt, so I proved ZF to be consistent, quod est adsurdum so better forget about ZFC...
Whether you are targeted for a mugging is dependant on whether the criminal thinks you are an easy target. Most muggings will be crimes of opportunity.

I used to live in a very dodgy part of Spain near Gibraltar. I was never mugged or beaten up. I've been told by people "You look like you can handle yourself". Some of work collegues which were skinner, more fresh faced got robbed, beaten and in one case had what they believe to be a gun pulled on them. I never had any problems. I don't look like an easy target due to my appearence and size, those guys unfortunately do due to their size and appearence.

> This is about political PR machines with unusual wealth lying to Facebook users on an industrial scale to control what they believe and how they act.

It doesn't control how people act, but for the rest this is exactly what mass media was always doing, influencing beliefs and opinions of the masses, never able to criticize powerful and wealthy where it truly mattered. Facebook only made this space a bit more diverse, actually letting some criticism in, weakening mass media influence. But it's ridiculous to think this affected "democracy", the US isn't even considered to be a democracy outside of the US, but more like a capitalist-ruled police country.
