It sounds like a mispredicted xcdbt would actually need to invalidate or otherwise make coherent the cache lines that it mistakenly made incoherent, which also affects the instructions that read the incorrect data, so effectively a full pipeline flush. Even if they got that right, I suspect it would still result in some interesting performance anomalies whenever a mispredicted xcdbt was speculatively executed and then "cancelled".

It's notable that in 2005, it was already near the end for the P4/Netburst with its insanely 31-stage pipeline, and CPU designs were moving towards increasing IPC rather than clock frequency.
At a recent scholarship awards ceremony I attended the woman gathered much more scholarships than the men. Of course they probably very well deserved it. However there were many women-only scholarships that I am assuming were setup to increase college admissions of women. Which is of course also perfectly okay. However, there is a huge growing gender gap [1] in college admissions that favors women.

If an equality program is so successful that it creates an equality imbalance in the other direction what do we do?

We could cancel the programs and call it's goal completed, but this seems wrong.

We could create new programs that target raising admissions of men, but that also seems wrong, at least in the current climate.

Maybe it's just the case that men don't prefer college as much or perhaps it's too expensive when you can't get scholarships because your not the right identity.

Undoubtedly you didn't "deserve" it. The voting system is just a way for the prevailing cliques to signify who's present. This thread is ripe with the hateful and helpless young men referred to in the article, evident by many of the comments. The worse part is that growing trend in this direction on HN. I'd say HN is currently experiencing max Q and I'm not sure it will make it to the other side without succumbing to the pressure(ie decent people leaving the site for good).

The experience here is worse than before, but still better than elsewhere. I think that means HN is ripe for innovation!

> Prior to Christianity, value systems and myths were all oriented around strength, excellence, and achievement.

Or around 仁, 義, 禮, 智, and 信. Humanitarianism, justice, tradition, wisdom, devotion.

Confucius defined 仁 as:

> Now the ren man, wishing himself to be established, sees that others are established, and, wishing himself to be successful, sees that others are successful.

When asked for a definition another time he was more succinct.

> Love others.

This is certainly not Christianity, mind you. He did not, and I suspect would find it unnecessary, to go so far as condemning strength and elevating the meek. Still, he had some words of caution:

> Riches and honors are what all men desire. But if they cannot be attained in accordance with the Way they should not be kept. Poverty and low status are what all men hate. But if they cannot be avoided while staying in accordance with the Way, you should not avoid them.

I wrote the above to try to break into this here in the post:

> At its core, all humanists, Marxists, and progressives want to find a way to justify Christian morality without Christian metaphysical belief.

I did recognize the problem pretty early on. And I went searching. I found that others, far away in time and space, had seen the problem too. Some metaphysics required. For Confucius, it was the Way. Much closer to home and now, Tu Wei-Ming is an American philosopher and Confucian thinker. This is how he put it, better than I could:

> We are here because embedded in our human nature is the secret code for heaven’s self-realization. Heaven is certainly omnipresent, may even be omniscient, but is most likely not omnipotent. It needs our active participation to realize its own truth.
Those are two different things. If I need GCC 11 and its associated standard libraries and toolchain to build my app, and I need to build that app on CI services that ship an older version of GCC, I need some way to bundle my dependencies for arbitrary compute fabrics.

The answer to this is a container. Containers don't "reinvent" static linking, they solve problems that go beyond static linking.
Inflation is a different problem: a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, but if you have a bird in your hand you are better off trading it for a table because somehow a table in the hand depreciates less than a bird?
And somehow, bullshit notions like systemic racism, which could for once be used for real, is suddenly not used at all. This shows what "anti-racism" really is: a political discourse serving the interests of a few groups, to the exclusion and detriment of others.

I hope they can pull this off. I’m surprisingly often asked to troubleshoot shoestring Google Script trying to accomplish some of these features in Sheets. Like Excel, experts in other areas of life want a powerful data management tool that they can actually set up themselves. Tools like Tables, like Airtable, help with many of these use cases. If Table is properly integrated into Google Cloud and made discoverable to Sheets/Workspace users, then I expect the use of scripts as a stopgap solution will go down.

I do, too. One thing never mentioned is that a lot of people apply for software jobs with fraudulent resumes and just having memorized some jargon. The job interviewer needs some way to filter out these people before committing to 6 months of a high salary. Sure, they'll miss a few diamonds in the rough, but it's likely better than hiring a team of frauds.

What planet are you on? The whole social system is geared towards supporting men. 70% of the U.S. government is men. Most companies are owned by men. Most of the C-suite of most companies are men. Most engineers, doctors, lawyers, investors, and all other desirable, high-paying jobs are dominated by men. Just look around.

> During normal operation, the flash drive firmware routinely refreshes the cells to restore lost charge. However, when the flash is not powered the state of charge will naturally degrade with time.

You have to be careful how you interpret this bit. "Normal operation" here assumes not just that the SSD is powered, but that it is actively used to perform IO. Writes to the SSD will eventually cause data to be refreshed as a consequence of wear leveling; if you write 1TB per month to a 1TB drive then every (in-use) cell will be refreshed approximately monthly, and data degradation won't be a problem.

If you have an extremely low-write workload, the natural turnover due to wear leveling won't keep the data particularly fresh and you'll be dependent on the SSD re-writing data when it notices (correctable) read errors, which means data that is never accessed could degrade without being caught. But in this scenario, you're writing so little to the drive that the flash stays more or less new, and should have quite long data retention even without refreshing stored data.
It’s rather remarkable how many comments in this thread dismissively explain that, sure, the US has created far more super successful companies in recent years but, hey, who even cares about that and actually big companies are stupid anyway and Americans are all brainwashed.

That’s interesting for its knee-jerk, defensive quality. But I’ll bite: the point of using huge companies as a proxy for economic performance is that globalization and the internet mean that increasingly you’ll have few (and often: one) winners in a given space that capture essentially all the value. If Europe isn’t a competitive player in creating these winners, they’re accepting that they simply aren’t going to capture any meaningful value in these emerging and ascendant industries. That, to me, implies a certain resignation to economic stagnation as a point of pride.

I genuinely wonder how you can endorse that state of affairs without any concern for how, in the face of declining competitiveness, the comfortable status quo that is preferable to success continues to get paid for.
i can't advise you on what to do -- but i have opinions on things!

i think being somewhat educated about tech and programming can be a help as a founder, but only to a certain extent.

and even if you're a techie, you won't necessarily know how to be a good manager of an outsourced project.

i've learned a bit over the years, but am still a newbie.

i've never seen a single quality article, here or at any other site, that talked about HOWTO outsource a project well.

other downsides to being a techie is that you start paying attn to tech instead of solutions to problems.

way i see it, you build something, then you find/hire someone to help you take it over, maintain it, improve it, fix it, expand it, throw it away and build again, whatever.

if you built some site that was becoming successful, and it was complete trash that nobody could work on, or it just coudln't scale enough, or whatever -- then you've got a great fucking problem on your hands -- you've got traffic and/or a business -- most people never get that far. now just do what is necessary, including throwing away what you have at that point if you have to.

other advice -- you'll burn out on programming one day and won't want to do it ever again, and it will jump on you and you'll be like, 'shit'.

so, i would suggest waiting around to form some SUPERBUSINESS might not be the best stategery.

if you care about maintainability of your code, then that puts you in the top 1% of contractors.

the sum-up -- being a techie, on the whole, is probably a small advantage over not being a techie.

there are just too many examples through history of people who did not do things because they thought they couldn't be done technically. it's like that saying goes, 'a little bit of knowledge is very dangerous' -- something like that.

better boss? i'd argue to read up on anarchism. that'll help you keep your eye on your humanity and that of others. which is 'better' in one sense. but if you mean 'more effective' -- i don't know.

ditto on 'founder' and 'vision'.

on the question of tech, i always think of this video:

> If an equality program is so successful that it creates an equality imbalance in the other direction what do we do?

Equality of outcome is not possible or even desirable. That is the problem. The more people try to force some completely unnatural result, the more terrible things they'll have to do (e.g., discrimination on the basis of body attributes, as if there is some good way to do it) and the worse things will get.

Ian Fleming wrote a new James Bond novel a year. He could do this because his job as an executive for a British newspaper let him take a month off every year. He'd go to his Jamaican estate[1], write the novel, and bring it home.

... Good god. According to Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Fleming#Post-war>, his job let Fleming take three months off each year! Either way, I'm pretty sure the list of American non-owner executives who took a month or three off annually in the 1950s is very, very short.

It depends on your priorities. If you care about package availability and the broader ecosystem, Nix would be a better choice[1]. Nix has a larger community size, lower barrier for participation, and is more forgiving regarding non-free software. Its package count likely exceeds the AUR too, if you exclude duplicates.

Guix, on the other hand, is better suited for the more adventurous folks. It's built on Scheme, which many find appealing.

Both Nix and Guix can be installed on other Linux distros. Both are now available in the official Debian repository. Additionally, Nix supports macOS quite well. It even supports FreeBSD and Cygwin too, although it's probably not as mature.

> For Apple, their market would be all cell phones (or in the Epic case the Apple lawyers define the market as all game platforms). Since they don't have a majority of these markets and consumers are free to switch within the market they can't be forced to change behavior.

iOS has 60% of the US market[1], and Android 40%. The App Store has 100% more revenue than the Play Store[2], and the two are responsible for over 99% of all app sales. In the US, Apple has the majority of market share in the mobile operating systems market and the mobile app distribution market.

Both Apple and Google have a duopoly in mobile operating systems, and they leverage that duopoly to maintain their duopoly in the mobile app distribution market. To continue the chain, they then leverage that duopoly to dominate the mobile app payment market, as well.

Further, the colloquial definition of monopoly doesn't with regard to antitrust laws:

> Courts do not require a literal monopoly before applying rules for single firm conduct; that term is used as shorthand for a firm with significant and durable market power — that is, the long term ability to raise price or exclude competitors. That is how that term is used here: a "monopolist" is a firm with significant and durable market power.

I agree with you. I assume your disappointment comes from the fact that most HN commenters don’t understand/empathise with the needs of the general public, and continue to demand their way of things. There are options like Android, Linux phones, etc. These might not be perfect for the things HN commenters are demanding, but they exist as options. Yet, instead of going with an attitude of “iPhones are the way they are, they are not for me, so I will use something else”, they seem to demand that even iPhones become open, adopt alternative stores, etc.

I am not clear where the entitlement comes from, but it does bother me too when I see tone deaf comments like those.
