Yes, indeed it is the case with fused multiply-add operations, as I wrote below in another thread. By default at -O3, unfortunately, gcc and icc both take responsibility for deciding whether or not to use FMA instructions when they see (a x b + c) expressions. As a result we can even see slightly different result across compiles!!

However, as far as I understand, specifying a proper language standard (for example -std=c99, -std=c++14, etc.) restores sane behavior (see -ffast-math, and more specifically -fexcess-precision).

Are there other cases where -O3 breaks IEEE754 on modern setups?
Do you mean discovering the formula independently (i.e. as Gauss did as a child) or simply knowing that the formula exists?
Good - and there's legitimately consensus on using it in the various mobile os app stores?

That would probably be an improvement over how things go now. The issue is even if public sentiment across a nation is a strong majority like 60%, 40% is still a huge number of people, and different people have somewhat different values depending on where they are.

I feel like local communities this would work well, since a majority overriding a minority might not be as egregious as say a majority of rural folk having their will done over city folk and vice versa.

What I wish we could do is let’s say the federal government says in accordance with majority sentiment, masks are required for children in school. The state of Texas though has the ability to override it or leave it in place, but then the city of Austin could then override what Texas overruled and so on. I don’t know something where the will of more people is being followed.
You are probably not going to open a shop - so, I guess you will be basically "invisible" anyway.
On the one hand, the ambiguity of FMA is kind of annoying, but on the other, FMA is a godsend for writing accurate arithmatic. One reason for this, is that the error of `ab` is `fma(a, b, -ab)` which makes compensated algorithms much faster to write. Secondly, polynomial evaluations using horner's method converge to .5 ULP (units in last place) with FMA, but to 1.5 ULP without. This is incredibly useful since polynomial approximations are at the heart of pretty much everything else.

I think Julia takes an interesting approach here of never reordering floating point computations unless you explecitly give permission using @fastmath (which acts locally instead of globally like a --fast-math in C/C++). This makes it much easier to use ieee specific tricks and be confident that the compiler won't mess with you, while still making it easy to tell the compiler to do what it wants.
It increases the number of people getting treated for their sickness, who otherwise would not be.
The problem is the people who use Docker but don't know anything about it. Or don't know that mixing libcs is a problem. They use this glibc package, break their containers and then blame Alpine for the breakage.

You are absolutely right and I missed the point!

I believe there are a couple of things in the standard library which should have returned a Maybe (or even better taken a NonZero as an argument). The community Extra libraries tend to offer safe versions of these cases, so it's easy to avoid if you know about it.

Another gotcha that will give a runtime error is the stack overflow if you have too many recursions in a function. You can get around it by using builtins like maps and folds, or refactoring for tail-calls.

Since recursion is often taught to FP beginners as the go-to replacement for loops without explaining TCO, I think many users are surprised by this early on, and with just the compiler they would otherwise have no warning of this without knowing how and when to test for it.

I believe Elm-review is coming out with a method to warn about these cases, so it will be detectable with standard tools.

On the whole, though, these are the few avoidable edge cases, and the promise does hold the rest of the time.
But if you are capturing huge quantities already, the capture cost/efficiency is a sunk cost.
Exactly this. That was my first reaction when someone upthread wrote that they made a ring out of tungsten. I can only imagine that it would lead to misery at some point. You really don't want this kind of metal for Jewelry that surrounds you (wristband, ring, ankleband). You're going to get hurt sooner or later.
By the time I started building gaming PCs in the 90s, many drives had Cable Select settings on the jumper. It pretty much "just worked" for me.

And getting gaming to work was a separate challenge.

It wasn't terrible, but it did require knowledge of what chipset your motherboard was running and you had to know that certain magic patches were needed to the OS.
I clicked on this post out of standard curiosity.

Now I have a tracking number for a cube of tungsten that will arrive at my office by tomorrow afternoon.

ETC is a leftist media organisation so that they would promote rent control is a given. I wouldn't trust what they have to say about the matter. Do you know why no one builds new renting apartments in Sweden? It is because you cannot make a profit on them. You can instead build BRFs and make a lot of money. So everyone is doing that. They maximize the loans of the new BRF so they have to spend as little as possible of their own money.

Six to seven years is nothing compared to Sweden where you can have queues about 20-30 years easily for the big cities. My GF have 12 years in the queue and she can get a decent apartment in the outskirts of Stockholm but that is about it.

There are special housing for elderly, which is a bit shorter in the queues but still very long.
One of the early signs in both my mother’s and grandmother’s Alzheimer’s was forgetting to pay (UK) road tax. Somehow both of them managed to get away with being on the road for the next six months, before the rest of the family found out and intervened.

At least in my mother’s case, this was far from the only thing that suddenly became wrong with her driving; she also developed a fear of going over about 50 mph and using gears above third, and one sign we only recognised in retrospect was that she forgot how maps worked.
I wish someone made a standard 608 (fidget spinner, skateboard, etc.) deep-groove ball bearing entirely out of Tungsten - it would be the ultimate desk trinket and I bet it would have the longest and most satisfying spins.
Ok, that’s fair then!
Man, companies make money or have good prospects of making money in the future. You own part of the profits. If the company pays dividends doesn't matter at all. It's econ 101 or not even that.
The half-assed solution is progressive taxation. Your first plot will be taxed very little. Every plot after that more and more.

It's not perfect because it is basically a subsidy to owner occupants so it won't help suburbs become denser. However, it disconnects the impact of taxation on home owners and commercial developers/investors which means home owners will be more willing to tax developers. The one benefit is that large scale development will naturally consider denser housing because they want to optimize their tax burden.

I think the whole argument over the definition of theory is overblown. Sure there's a group of people who use "theory" to mean some unconfirmed hypothesis as a way to discredit the theory of natural selection in favor of creationism. This is hardly a matter of confusion for the general public nor is it a particularly big deal.

There is no singular "theory of gravitation", there are multiple theories of gravitation and they are just that, theories. Some are meaningless (like the theory that gravity is due to the earth and every physical object growing in size), some are useful for every day uses, like gravity is some kind of force whose charge is mass and whose strength decreases with the square of the distance, and some theories are very accurate but very hard or impractical to work with, like gravity is due to some sort of 4 dimensional space-time curvature.

All of those are just theories, they have various pros and cons and use cases and problems to varying degrees. I don't think this is a problem for most people to understand.
Scene of an emergency: hold still while I figure out how to improvise a ring cracker that can crack a solid tungsten ring without further injury to your finger.
I don't see how that is particularly legitimate argument against rent control as that is how the housing market works in general. The difference is that if you buy an apartment you also get appreciation.
> Plenty of investigation has been done conducted into QAnon, their beliefs and their claims. Everything has turned out to be spurious.

Oh, it sounds like you are referring to QAnon's ideas - I am referring to QAnon the organization, including its leadership, if any.

We regularly hear (perhaps not so much lately now that the election is over) about how dangerous QAnon is, my thinking is that if this organization is so dangerous, why does no one do anything about it, and why do journalists not wonder why no one does anything about it.
yes and this has been the big setback for many years this is why we dont have a lot of these vector vaccines.

if someone is immune to adenovirus they typically destroy the vaccine before antigen can be presented. this reduces prophylactic opportunities regarding serial innoculation with adenovirus vector, regardless of the cassette load

i am one of those people, having worked with adenovirus, as well as coronavirus, thus i am obligated to non adenoviral vaccine, and made out quite well during my infection with SARS-1, and with SARS-2

People often talk as if it was Jobs and Jony Ive that made apples reboot successful.

I believe it was Jobs, Cook, and Ive (more or less in that order).

Early on, Cook was the operations person that helped turn Apple back into a functioning business.

Jobs wanted people to be able to accomplish things with as few buttons as possible.

Ive wanted to make perfect shiny pebbles with 0 buttons.

Cook wanted to make functional supply chains and products that didn’t break under warranty or beyond.

It was a triple point for good progress.

(Jobs, Ive, Cook etc did a phenomenal job re-imagining retail also IMHO)
If it ain't your primary residence, I honestly could not care.
1) is the entire goal of rent control. Everything else is just excuses that the people that want (1) have made up. I'm not even sure they're wrong either. Kicking people out of their homes might maximize surplus, but it has huge negative effects on the utility of those that are forced to leave and those that are worried that they will, be forced to leave.

One example : Paris

4 years ago, few bike lanes and very few bikes. Detractors of the newly created ones were arguing about the ressource waste.

Today it is one continuous line at rush hour and some lanes are completely jammed.
I am not an expert, but what a change. The pandemic may have helped but it is a true transformation. Many people who would have never bike in Paris a few months ago now bike daily to commute.
It certainly took more than just laying lanes, planning and choosing the right places to create lanes has certainly a lot to do with it. But once the main places were connected by safe lanes, it began and never stopped.

Millenia-old super dense city certainly helps too, nonetheless many thought it would be impossible.
Would probably be harder in a less crowded place.

The Embankment in London (Westminster to Blackfriars) lost one of its four vehicle lanes for a kerb separated two way cycle lane. It carries more traffic than the four vehicle lanes, but looks far emptier, which invited much complaint at first. I’m glad to see TfL are still building more cycle lanes, various types to suit the roads used.
Xinjiang, especially north, has a lot of farm land, a lot of natural resources that are easily accessible, as well a lot of urbanization and industry already. There is a reason it has 25 million people while Tibet only has 2 million. It is already 42% Han, which makes the ethnic tensions with the Uighurs a lot more explosive.

The only difference here that I think is really meaningful is that bike lanes generally aren't already fully built out and at full capacity.

If we didn't believe bike lanes would induce demand for biking we wouldn't say "let's get people out of cars" as one of our major reasons for adding bike lanes. We accept - even hope! - from the start that more bike lanes will cause more biking. It has upsides compared to car commuting.

But because we don't have an already saturated, congested network of bike lanes, we aren't going to be hitting the limits of "why didn't adding more parallel bike lanes reduce the amount of congestion?" - the congestion just doesn't exist, and we'd have to have a LOT more biking to make it exist. And if we get to that point, it's a big win! Fears of future bike traffic should not stop us from building bike lanes.

Everything else about why "they're different" seems like handwaving.
Note that if you're buying welding tungsten as a plaything, avoid the oneswith the red paint on the end - they contain thorium to improve the electrical arc and as such are a bit radioactive, and shouldn't be directly handled for long periods.

It's also not in the interest of websites to show the cookie popups either, but they do it because they are legally required to do so.

I mean I think regulating it in either place is a bit silly, but if we are going to force users to accept cookies on each site, putting it in the browser is far easier to enforce (since you don't have to go after each site that doesn't do it), and a much better user experience.
Back then it was pretty easy.

Try finding a machinist that wears jewelry. Either they have yet to learn a painful lesson or they will have learned it directly or indirectly (colleague, machinist friend). That's one thing you learn to respect in a hurry: no jewelry near rotating machinery.
The link I gave begs to differ:

The smallest epsilon number ε0 appears in many induction proofs, because for many purposes, transfinite induction is only required up to ε0 (as in Gentzen's consistency proof and the proof of Goodstein's theorem).

If you trace through the sketch of the proof of Goodstein's theorem at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodstein%27s_theorem#Proof_of... you can see for yourself that transfinite induction up to ε₀ is indeed sufficient.

As for the rest of your comment, I'm able to talk classical mathematics but my sympathies are firmly Constructivist. So yes, I really do see most discussion of infinities as part of an explicitly meaningless mathematical game known as Formalism.
Romania, some major city that's not the capital. The outskirts of Cluj are perfect, maybe Sibiu or Brasov.

Access to all sorts of nature and activities, affordable housing (big apartments, could even find a nice detached house for less than $500), great food from around Europe, great selection of restaurants/fast food, easy access to the rest of Europe and the world, lovely people who will speak English enthusiastically (maybe not that well though) and of course great Internet for very cheap.

$1000/mo without paying local taxes is enough for all of the above.

In the cities, crime is very low if you're worried (the criminals moved west lol), bureaucracy is on par with Germany (OK that means it's shit), corruption is very low. Whole damn country is a hidden jewel of Europe. Just maybe not that affordable to locals heh.

Kahan summation is basically just synthesizing a larger floating point type (with 46/106 bits of mantissa for 32/64-bit base type) and then using that to do the sum, though. You still lose precision if your errors exceed that new, larger margin. Eg try adding 34000 + 56 + .078 - 56 - 34000, carrying two digits per float.

Can confirm as a Chilean. Santiago gets more expensive as you approach the main part of the city (Which offers more amenities), but overall, living with 1k USD is very doable (specially with the actual conversion rate).

Living in other regions will be MUCH cheaper, but they tend to be more simple (outside the tourists hubs).

I would love hard work if it actually resulted in something. I'm not making very good money. I'm not making meaningful contributions to my field. I'm not even in a position to do either. The problem is, hard work is rarely rewarded beyond some words. If it's not rewarded and I'm not in a position to make an impact, then there's no point.

I think that may be a too narrow vision of “transformative” improvement.

I worked in a factory where one of the biggest, and hardest, improvements we made was coaching the managers and engineers to leave the technicians alone when they were doing maintenance.

We collected data on how often they were interrupted, how much time it cost, and how interruptions could lead to RIT changes in procedures that affected quality.

Previously the engineers and managers saw the checking as helping because they could se ethe status of things and observe and answer questions, many would even lend a hand. Oversight and engagement was seem as a path to improved quality. To let go of that was a huge transformation. It started with data - a lot of data - that allowed us to identify that weekend and night maintenance generally went faster and better.

Rent control can mean many different things. Different rent control schemes are implemented in different cities. But generally, any rent control scheme that reduces rental prices across the board is going to reduce new construction. I think this is pretty uncontroversial among economists.

I think your logic is flawed here.

1. There's no reason why making landlords earn less money would make them want to invest in real estate more. If you have $1 million to invest, you'll try to choose the best investment available to you. It doesn't make a difference if your current property is doing well or badly.

2. If landlords make less money, they should have less capital.

3. Even assuming your premise was correct and landlords who make more money from their property want to invest in new properties less, it wouldn't matter. As long as building new units is a good investment, someone else would do it.
