Out-of-order just means it can rearrange the decoded uops in a way to keep the execution units at full capacity. So, if an instruction needs the ALU, but it’s busy, and the next one needs the AGU (address generation unit) and doesn’t depend on the results of the ALU one, it can “dispatch” the AGU one while the ALU one waits for the pipeline to move.

Speculative execution refers more towards the decoder/uop generation side of the processor (the “in-order” side). A normal “in-order” processor, upon encountering a conditional jump, would wait until the pipeline is finished to check if it should jump or not. It does it by inserting “bubbles” into the pipeline - essentially doing nothing but waiting.

Speculative execution (or branch prediction) would say, “I think the branch will be taken based on X, Y, Z,” and then keep the pipeline full in the process. If the prediction was right, congratulations! You just saved dozens of clock cycles that otherwise would’ve been wasted. If it was wrong, no worries. The pipeline is then flushed; all the speculated instructions’ results are tossed (before they’re “written back”). Then the processor resumes operation on the correct branch.

Speculative execution doesn’t necessitate an out-of-order architecture, and visa-versa. Just a pipelined one. It’s perfectly possible to have an out-of-order architecture that doesn’t speculate, or a speculative one that is completely “in-order”, but they work hand-in-hand, and it makes sense to have both if you have one.
Yeah, don't these increase noise by a substantial amount?
And I was thinking "Notion? Didn't the Notion Ink come out then disappear into the Pit of Gone Android Devices?"

For those who haven't heard of it, the article is about https://www.notion.so/ which Wikipedia summarizes with "an application that provides components such as notes, databases, kanban boards, wikis, calendars and reminders. Users can connect these components to create their own systems for knowledge management, note taking, data management, project management, among others"
If it installs a bottle, then does it still require installing Rust? If so, then maybe that's a shortcoming of Homebrew.

Either way, it kinda seems like you're complaining about Homebrew here. Not Rust.

If having Cargo/Rust on your system is really a Hard No (...why?), then I guess find a package manager that only delivers whatever is necessary, or, if available, use the project's binary releases: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/releases/tag/13.0.0

And actually, in the case of ripgrep, it provides a Homebrew tap that specifically uses the GitHub release binary: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/pkg/brew/r...
Actually, I like to think of humans as a three layered system:

dna -> animal -> self-conscious virtual machine

1. our dna's meaning in life is reproduction.
2. our animal's meaning in life is survival+reproduction
3. our self-conscious virtual machines meaning in life is somewhat unbounded, but at a high level probably boils down to negotiating the exploration/exploitation trade-off
It’s a perfectly logical statement. Not sure why the downvotes. As we decrease pressures to reproduce, only those who have a surfeit of pressure will continue to reproduce.

Unless we solve human aging, that means that resisting reproduction will mean self-elimination from the gene pool.
Does this contract have a money transmission license? Selling an IRON or a TRON for USDC is money transmission. BSA requires money transmitters to be licensed in states where they operate, as well as register with FICEN, etc. How can we enforce them to comply at the state level? Can an individual sue the states to enforce compliance on the people behind this smart contract? Those that have lost money might have an incentive to start wanting money transmission rules actually enforced.

I'm not complaining about votes. I'm asking for people to clarifying why they are downvoting a technically correct statement.
Being able to access the laws openly and freely sounds like a novel idea in this country.
With all due respect, it would be very hard for me to believe so. For the simplest case, one can trivially create a Turing machine that simulates a CPU, so I’m not sure the digital computation holds any water.
Yes, Especially when there a compiler in between the ide and the cpu :-)
Personal internal desire for kids aside, there are good societal reasons not to have them. One, they are ridiculously expensive. If you're not middle class and above (what's left of it) they will cause a drastic plunge in quality of life as additional expenses, planned and unplanned, accumulate.

Two, with climate change and geopolitical instability, it's both unfair to the kid to bring them into what is essentially a dying world, and also unfair to the world when their lives as an American (especially) will consume a disproportionate level of resources. Every new American adds to climate pollution and American imperialist bullying in the middle east and beyond. We're just adding more casualties in the wars to come.

Three, with increasing automation and wealth concentration, social mobility is likely going to decrease even further. They will likely end up poorer and prospect-less than their parents. The USA is becoming a more feudal society where only corporate elites have worth and the growing underclass is just for exploitation. It's already bad enough for my generation, why would I want to make it worse for the next?
contexts, events, whatever. It doesn't matter. If Kay had listened to any of them, the Python ecosystem would be lacking its best packaging tool, and a significant optimizing tool as well.

That is pretty unacceptable.

Because they have cleared away enough chaff to start encountering these problems with the design of the cpython code itself.

There isn't much point in saying X is faster if significant harassers in the python community will make a point of walking out of your talks and later belittling your work online, right?

Current Status of Browser Tracking Prevention
I think it is seriously something you need a lot of minors and hobbyists to maintain. I had a thought about a later era with some ads. The flash games era.

Now if you look at game websites you'll see a lot of old flash developers who went onto "real life" reselling them. This isn't a bad thing, they take out the work of fooling around with web archives and creating a proper flash-jail but it illustrates how the web has gotten older, creators went onto 'real life' and what remains is professionalized.

Of course there is nothing technically stopping you from engaging in the same as the past except other users of free time.
Solaris had this over a decade ago now with event ports which are basically a variant of Windows IOCP:

Well, technically, that's right. Fusion is a chain reaction. (albeit, "chain" might be a stretch here. Let's say it is a continuous process in stars.) But it's driven by gravity, not neutrons. You just need to bring about 70 times the mass of Jupiter into one place and that's it. Child's play, essentially ;).
There are companies who can do the grant-writing for you.
You are just getting started. I've only now felt like I've hit the wall, and I'm at about 300 hours.
A good way to think of the difference is:

Fission requires effort to control. When things go wrong it isn't controlled.

Fusion requires effort to create. When things go wrong it isn't created.
You just got to add a duck.

If you read the entire complaint what they are saying is that SQL Studio was not just installed but actually used when it was not certified for use.

They aren't saying they found proof of someone doing an update. They are saying they found proof of someone using SQL Studio when they shouldn't have. It is the equivalent of broken glass.

The enormous pressure inside stars is what sustains the reaction. Neutrons coming off a fusion reaction, even if moderated, can’t really “squeeze together” other particles in any sense.

Also, per unit volume, the sun produces about as much power as a compost pile.
They are trading one legal authority for another, and this is agreed upon up front. Both parties agree that the code is the legal authority before entering into a contract, which is much different from evading authority after the fact.

> but generally when a person is trying to evade some legal authority, it's probably not for reasons good for society

Reminds me of the "nothing to hide" argument, that only someone trying to commit a crime would need or want protection from the legal system. History paints a different picture.

> That's absurd.

How come?

It's pretty practical. I'm a developer. I deploy to multiple targets so I have them all. I test against them. Simple enough.

To talk to the point of the link here, what I distribute to MacOS I only have to worry about 1 interpreter because it's the one embedded on the OS (and at work, I can guarantee the version). The problem for me is Linux and whatever is bundled on the version of the distro that's currently running.

> This is a luxury and consequence of infinite compute resources.

It's a consequence of what I deploy to. If I only had 1 target and could guarantee it, I'd only need one.
> Good luck eating your dollars

I think I understand the point you are trying to make, but you are doing a terrible job at it and it assumes that people in this hypothetical future do not participate in a similar market to the one that exists today.

People work for dollars because they use those dollars for the other things they need. Pension dollars are fungible with all other dollars, so the producer doesn’t know if they stop producing on Tuesday if the pensioners will go hungry or their family will.

You have checkers from the forest service (gov), the forestry company that cut the timber and your own treeplanting company. They use stats and gps and survey every block by throwing 3.99m plots randomly about. Inside that circle they need to find 7 or 8 trees all well planted. You need a certain percent to be expected to live, high ninties of percent, or your piece rate per tree gets reduced. They check for lean, depth, spacing, microsite selection, root placement and other things. Quality is constantly a worry and I would get checked at least a couple of times a day.

Two or three years after it is checked again and will be scheduled for fill planting if it doesn't have good enough density.

You improve your speed a lot at first. 100 trees your first day, 1000 by the end of your tenth day. Meanwhile vets are putting in four thousand on the same ground at 12 cents a tree. Definitely pay your dues and a company won't pay you minimum wage top ups for very long.

It takes about five or six seasons to reach your peak in terms of knowledge and skill. Some would argue longer. There's efficiency of movement, controlling your emotions and mental aspects, reading the ground and spacing in triangles instead of straight lines. Not many planters get to triangles. There's also different ground to learn. Trenches in Alberta vs steep snarpy old growth blocks on the coast are completely different worlds. Coastal planting is hard to get hired for, mostly older lifers, interior you'd find many students on crews.

Everyone gets minor injuries and sore nagging pains that steadily get worse. It's often just a matter of how many days you last before you quit. Seasons can last from twenty to a hundred days, probably fifty is the most common. Being in good shape or even a little pudgy at the start helps but it's more a matter of pain tolerance and being able to set those thoughts aside and tune it out until you are numb to it. I came back to the truck one time with a three inch piece of stick jammed an inch in my shin. My pants were ripped, leg all bloody, didn't even notice it.

Like coding there's 10x planters too. They are called high ballers. Typically they are more fit but they still come in all shapes and sizes and male and female too. A top planter can make almost twenty grand CAD in a month, reliably 10-15k.

It's a great summer job, you meet genuine people, you learn a lot about yourself. It can fund a lot of travel or other adventure the rest of the year if you play it right. And there's others that would say it was the worst x weeks of their life.
California’s hottest, driest days are getting even drier, worsening fire risk
Yes, in the sense that fusion requires incredibly accurate magnetic fields to maintain, and the second there's any issue with the reactor chamber, the reaction will just stop. The reactor itself cannot explode in any way shape or form, because there is nothing in there to explode. It also doesn't produce any radioactive isotopes while running, it just fuses(hence fusion) hydrogen into helium, just like the sun does. You can just capture this helium and sell it to make baloons if you want.

The reaction itself kicks off a huge amount of neutron radiation, which eventually makes the reactor chamber radioactive - that is the only radioactive waste that will have to be disposed safely eventually. But neither the fuel nor the resulting product are radioactive.

Perhaps it's hard to describe the joys and hardships of parenthood, but it's possible to get most of the information even if you can't necessarily feel all the feels before you commit.

backup power, backup network connection, data redundancy, security, etc factors. These are all indeed good points. But is this not very, very easily done with just 7 rpi? I guess I was looking for technical limitations that will make it a dumb idea. IMO, it was a dumb idea just 10 years ago, but now things have progressed which make setting up something like this literally point and click. Back up power? --> Easily done for 7 rpi. Backup network connection -->get at least 2 carriers. Data redundancy --> A couple RAID drives. Security? --> how is security any different than what we already use with current web providers? Basically, The things you mention were hard to do in the past. But today 2021, there are whole DockerContainers built with every hardened security measure built-in with one click. The reason why I know its easy is because I have built sites on them. And after doing it for a while, I'm starting to think, do i really need AWS?
The real tragedy is that Apple hasn't taken over and bundled brew with the OS (or come up with their own blessed CLI package manager).

Unpoly 2 Released
The heat of fusion is eventually absorbed in the atmosphere when the contrail dissipates and is net zero. But in the meantime, the contrails increase the earth’s albedo, resulting in a net loss of incoming solar energy. The decrease in albedo caused by the soot particles also has to be accounted for.

It’s complicated.
Indeed. Few people realize that Dan Ingalls was the John Carmack of the Smalltalk PARC team. Kay was the Romero.

This is a very backwards and dangerous view of the situation.

You are making a speculation that your children will become a high-functioning adults that will be capable to produce more than they consume.

Overpopulation (as a real danger to our planet) aside, people who are opting out from having children are statistically highly educated and more successful (produce order of magnitude more than they consume) meaning that goal and career oriented individuals are feeding your children at this very moment altruistically (without any guarantees of payback from your children when they reach adulthood).
I think it might be useful to have a section that includes anecdotal experiences of existing WISP's of what actions they had to take in their location to cover themselves, what legal challenges they ran into and any caveats or scenarios to be aware of. Obviously with the disclaimer that it is not legal advise and they should retain their own legal council. It might give folks a better picture of what to expect before they consider the investment.

For what its worth, I really like the idea of people implementing some options for those that might only have access to one ISP. I was locked into Comcast for the longest time and would have loved to see more options available.
Thankfully this was posted again, because I haven't seen this document before. And I'm saddened if Dan Ingalls doesn't attract more attention.

Dan Ingalls seems to be this unsung hero that does not get mentioned often enough in my opinion. Admittedly, when I first learned about him from FLOSS Weekly podcast[0], I've been a bit of a fanboy. Since then I have read and listened his interviews and lectures that I have been able to find. He seems to be a very modest man with a lot of interesting anecdotes.

The whole era when Smalltalk was invented is fascinating. I'm currently reading through the book "The Dream Machine" just to learn more about the Xerox PARC, Alan Kay, Dan Ingalls and his involvement in Smalltalk and related innovations.

Are you seriously comparing conquests and migrations of the 7th century and a thing that happened in our life time? Well, my life time at least... I actually went to high-school with a Palestinian kid who immigrated with his parents to Yugoslavia. His family was kicked out of their apartment and put into a camp and he spent a part of his young life locked there. In his own words the hardest was that the camp was relatively near where they used to live and they could actually see their old building's roofs from the camp, through the wire fence, knowing that someone else now lives in their home. It's a recent event still very alive in mind and souls of Palestinian people, not some ancient story from time when Anglo-Saxons still ruled the Britain and Slavs haven't moved to Europe yet.
Maybe I was unclear. I'm not saying nobody hears voices (I believe most people do although because of conversations on this very site I actually came to believe some people don't), I'm saying not everybody has a miniature village in their head they navigate to make everyday decisions. I apologize if I'm misinterpreting your comment, but that was how I took it.

I certainly have conversations in my head, but not everything is an imaginary conversation with someone that somehow represents society. Sometimes there's no conversation at all.

> Do you ever hear your mom’s voice or your dad’s voice? If not their voice, their words telling you to do something or not do something?

I honestly can't remember the last time this happened. I would guess it's been a very long time.

> If you never or rarely hear any of these people, does it follow that your behaviour just springs forth of its own accord, an original choreography generated in the moment by your original machinery?

Usually there is an internal conversation, which I believe is the larger point you're trying to get at. Sometimes though I think without words, simply navigating feelings without any sort of dialogue.

My original comment was a poorly worded criticism of how you made it seem more like a village, but even so there are people who actually don't have these internal conversations at all (or at least that's what they claim but having spoken to them I believe them).
