(What other kinds of instructions? Genuinely asking.)

I don't think Rice's Theorem applies here. As a counterexample: On a hypothetical CPU where all instructions have fixed width (e.g. 32 bits), if accessing a register requires the instruction to have, say, the 10th bit set, and all other instructions don't, and if there is no way to generate new instructions (e.g. the CPU only allows execution from ROM), then it is trivial to check whether there is any instruction in ROM that has bit 10 set.

The next part I'm less sure how to state it rigorously (I'm not in the field): In our hypothetical CPU, I think disallowing that instruction either lets you remain being Turing Complete or not. In the former case, it's still the case that you can compute everything a Turing Machine can.
Harman Audio created a free "How to Listen" application years ago for both Mac and Windows, which "consists of a number of training exercises where different kinds of timbral, spatial and dynamic distortions commonly found within the recording and audio chains are simulated and added to music." It isn't about MP3 compression specifically, IIRC, but it's a good critical listening course.

But: while it's still available, it's about ten years old, and I have no idea if it still runs on modern hardware.

Thankfully Apple can, in principle, statically analyze for this on the iOS App Store, as they do not allow JIT mappings on those devices.
It's always been acceptable in ways that would never pass if men were replaced by "black people".

What else is #MeToo doing, if not a form of stereotyping? Why are men constantly mentioned and blamed? Why is it ok to say that there is a problem only affecting women caused by men? It's not even close to as evidence based as the problems with black people committing crime.

I'm not blaming all black people for violent crimes from their community, but they have a serious issue and I don't see why it doesn't deserve to be called out in the exact same way.
What a silly article. The reason Bezos/Gates “wealth” grows is because it’s invested as capital in industries which will provide solutions to all sorts of human problems. Anytime an article talks about the supposed paper billions someone is making they inevitably fail to point out how that wealth is actually being put to work. For some reason there’s this notion that billionaires just sit on their wealth like dragons hoarding gold.
> He is also preoccupied with controlling Africa’s population through family planning, fearing a population boom

Those countries are modernizing rapidly, which is leading to rapid and massive increases in energy use and co2 emissions. I had a professor in a lecture once explain how dangerous and complicated a problem this was going to be in this century. Hand waving Gates for this is immature

Edit: the suggested fix is to educate women iirc. Educated empowered women have the freedom to choose lives that don’t involve having as many babies as possible, and an educated population is better able to deal with the technological and social challenges surrounding energy and climate

Curious to see sql-jobber here. I'm the author, if you have any questions.

> though it's probably not the first one would think of

Yep. The model makes sense when you have large databases (for us, it's hundreds of billions of rows in multi-DB Postgres instances) that have to directly serve complex read queries to millions of users pulling reports.

1) When you have users who access arbitrary reports over and over (for us, financial reports that don't change during the day), doing a simple `select *` from the cached report tables per user, where they can be thrown away at any time based on a TTL or other conditions, can be way faster and cheaper than creating and maintaining read replicas of slow-ish multi-TB databases to directly serve large volumes of concurrent queries.

2) Easy traffic control and queuing when you have large volumes of read requests coming through. This can be beneficial to large DBs serving reports to users irrespective of the kind of reports. In addition, when there is big, unexpected surge in user traffic, the reads just get queued and users just have to wait for longer to see the results, but the big databases never get overloaded.
I use a vpn, so I solve like 5 captchas a day, to the cost of ~300 seconds. "500 years a day" means 500 x 365 x 24 x 3600 : 300 = 52mln vpn users. Totally feasible.

Interesting timing. A month ago everyone thought Gates was an amazing teddy bear. Today he's a robber baron.

I've never seen any compelling argument in favor of NFT. Everything points to it being pure hype with no redeeming value whatsoever, and this is no different.

Those, like CNN or MSNBC, are [mostly vapid and useless] boomer-tier news sources. I doubt you'll find too many posters here who see much more than passing glances of those types of sources. Someone posting here is more likely to be a NYT junkie or even more likely a scavenger feeding from multiple sources in an effort to assemble a more rounded understanding.

This is rather rude response, btw. You did not address their post, you just yelled 'trumper!'. I mean, come on. You can do better, I have faith in you. :P

They aren't wrong though, and there is nothing necessarily partisan about their viewpoints. When it comes to the media and politics in much of the western world there is the innocent-until-proven-guilty 'people of color', and then there is the guilty-regardless-of-innocence whipping race aka 'white'.

You'd have to add one extra condition to your hypothetical CPU: that it can't execute unaligned instructions. Given that, then yes, that lets you bypass Rice's theorem, even though it is indeed still Turing-complete.

But the M1 does have a way to "generate new instructions" (i.e., JIT), so that counterexample doesn't hold for it.
I was mostly ignoring this freenode drama until now, I didn't have enough fucks to care. At the very least I was hoping for things to settle down before making an informed decision to move or not.

While I do use a large second screen, often, I don't need it all the time.

I don't need it when cleaning my inbox. Or planning a sprint. I don't need it when conferencing. Or when designing an architecture. I don't need it when reviewing PRs, stepping through a debugger, poring through logs, deploying, running ansible or finding what config made that deploy fail.

I split my time as such. I can work on my laptop for a morning, then go home and plug into my large screen just fine. It actually helps me focus: multi-monitor = coding. Laptop only = other work.

Too much money is like "The Ring", it slowly corrupts you, gives you a little bit of privilege here and there...

Gandalf: Don't... tempt me, Frodo! I dare not take it. Not even to keep it safe. Understand, Frodo, I would use this Ring from the desire to do good. But through me, it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine.

Bill Gates is like Gollum, he cannot let go of his wealth and power, so he has to invent charities to keep control of it. He is trapped in his world of privilege. That is the most generous interpretation.

I have much bigger admiration for Linus Torvalds, or Steve Wozniak, who could have possibly been wealthy but chose not to. (Or they were stupid not to take the Ring?)

This is actually a great approach to evaluating articles like this. Remember, writing stories is a job too - shitty deadlines, writers block, pressure to come up with something, having to pitch your boss on why your idea is a good one.

You suddenly realize that nobody is reporting the news to educate people. They are doing it to: 1) get a paycheck, 2) sell add space, 3) get more clicks, etc.

Not saying all reporting is false. It’s just good to keep in mind what the incentives are.

I mostly admire Bill, but agree the hero worship is ridiculous.

The fact that he found a 1% tax on the wealth of the super-rich so objectionable while advocating for tax increases (that hit the middle-class and upper-middle-class much worse than 1%) revealed how he really feels about wealth inequality.

Besides, his wealth grows at 8% or so a year, thanks in part to the Federal Reserve’s policies, and he still thinks 1% is too high. His bottom line would still grow by billions a year, just slightly slower.
Think it might just be quibbling on the nature of 'built-in' at that point.
Augmenting Organizational Intelligence
Do you have any specific relevant recommended history reads? I'm on a history bender and would welcome suggestions.
Yup they even stated this statistic but miss its significance:

> the number of software developers aged 55 to 64 years increased from 87,000 (8.3%) in 2011 to 195,000 (10.7%) in 2019 in the USA.

The number of older software developers MORE THAN DOUBLED in 8 years in absolute numbers, but only increased by 25% in relative terms. That strongly indicates that existing developers weren't pushed out, they just were swamped by new entrants.

There is definitely some drop off around middle age- in 2011 there were 529,000 working "programmers" (computer programmers, software engineers and web developers) in the USA between 35-44. In 2020, there were 400,000. That means about 1 in 4 left the profession (probably more like 1 in 3 to account for new entrants). But that means the vast majority of people programming between 35-44 were still classifying themselves as programmers 10 years later. The drop off from 45-54 to 55-65 was even shallower at 13%.

So the data suggest that despite the mid-age drop off most programmers seem to stay programmers most of their career. I'd expect that many of those exiting "programming" as an occupation are transitioning to management, technical sales, or closely related professions as well, but it wouldn't show up in the data I looked at.

Given that I, being in that 35-44 cohort, am not going to worry to much about how to stay in the profession. I just may ask myself if there is something else I'd like to do as a 2nd act.

I think training and onboarding could be difficult for many companies/teams/bosses to adapt to in a remote environment. I feel like many people stayed put in their jobs in the past year so this hasn’t really been stress tested. When you already know everyone and the way work-is-done going remote is liberating. Trying to navigate a new organization where you know nobody and nothing would be a challenge.
https://www.tesla.com/support/transitioning-tesla-vision:

“Beginning with deliveries in May 2021, Model 3 and Model Y vehicles built for the North American market will no longer be equipped with radar.”

Removing the hardware rather than than just experimenting with software that doesn’t use radar seems quite a gamble, unless they already did those experiments.

But if they did the experiments, why do they also write ”All new Model S and Model X, as well as all vehicles built for markets outside of North America, will continue to be equipped with radar and will have radar-supported Autopilot functionality until we determine the appropriate time to transition those vehicles to Tesla Vision.”?

That doesn’t make me feel they are sure this will work.
Really. It feels the writer decided an overall point that we wants to portray, and then uses words to justify it. This is not journalism, this reads more like shilling.
A lot of people seem to think that the image Bill Gates presents to the world is accurate, that he is just an awkward but nice man trying to make the world better.

Anyone who was around in the 80s and 90s knows this is a laughable farce. After his antitrust lawsuits, he obviously hired a large PR team and set out on a multi-year image rehabilitation plan. This has clearly been successful, considering how many regular people come out of the woodwork to attack any criticism of him. Most of these people, I think, were too young to remember Gates before his program of “donating” his money to organizations which he either owns or controls.

If he wanted to truly give away his wealth, he could do so. It isn’t that difficult. Instead, he’s basically just moving it around while playing world savior.
I hold no special place for Bill Gates in my heart (if anything, I find him mildly annoying) but this article is nothing better than slander, at best. Sure, it does some sort of "follow the money" analysis, and then draws a variety of "links" between Bill Gates' entourage and other entities. But then it entices the reader to wink wink fill in the blank about what the motives are behind these relationships, while providing no evidence of wrong doing or ill intention.

In one case where I just happen to have done basic independent research, the author mentions Gates focus on family planning in Africa. The author suggests that this is some evil scheme to prevent a population boom, because $leave_it_to_the_reader_to_imagine_nefarious_purpose. In fact, this effort was motivated by research proving that the best way to improve survivability of children was to educate women.

The only sensible conclusion I could glance from this article is this: the author is of the opinion that billionaires shouldn't exist, because the author can't comprehend such a mind-blowingly large number.
The point is not to produce better drivers, rather a stable driver interface.

It is no accident that Project Treble drivers follow a similar mikrokernel approach to Fuchsia.

The general way to do that correction is to look at actuarial tables for deaths by cohort. These models are obviously not 100% accurate, but they do take into account many factors, and are incentivised to be as accurate as possible as they determine the profitavility of life insurance.

In this context, excess deaths are variations from these tables - more people from a cohort dying in a certain time period than expected.

Yes, indeed, I should have stated "cannot execute unaligned instructions". Or have said 8 bit instead, then it would be immediately obvious what I mean. (You cannot jump into the middle of a byte because you cannot even address it.)

But I wanted to show how Rice's Theorem does not generally apply here. You can make up other examples: A register that needs an instruction with a length of 1000 bytes, yet the ROM only has 512 bytes space etc...

As for JIT, also correct (hence my condition), though that's also a property of the OS and not just the M1 (and on iOS for example, it is far more restricted what code is allowed to do JIT, as was stated in the thread already).

Binderized HALs => HALs expressed in HAL interface definition language (HIDL) or Android interface definition language (AIDL). These HALs replace both conventional and legacy HALs used in earlier versions of Android. In a Binderized HAL, the Android framework and HALs communicate with each other using binder inter-process communication (IPC) calls. All devices launching with Android 8.0 or later must support binderized HALs only.
