This is the heart of this program. It aims to be able to produce a
sustained output rate of 64 bytes of FizzBuzz per four clock cycles
in its main loop (with frequent breaks to do I/O, and rare breaks
to do more expensive calculations).

The third phase operates primarily using a bytecode interpreter; it
generates a program in "FizzBuzz bytecode", for which each byte of
bytecode generates one byte of output. The bytecode language is
designed so that it can be interpreted using SIMD instructions; 32
bytes of bytecode can be loaded from memory, interpreted, and have
its output stored back into memory using just four machine
instructions. This makes it possible to speed up the FizzBuzz
calculations by hardcoding some of the calculations into the
bytecode (this is similar to how JIT compilers can create a version
of the program with some variables hardcoded, and throw it away on
the rare occasions that those variables' values change).

The bytecode format is very simple (in order to allow it to be
interpreted in just a couple of machine instructions):
- A negative byte represents a literal character (e.g. to produce
a literal 'F', you use the bytecode -'F', i.e. -70 = 0xba)
- A byte 0..7 represents the hundreds..billions digit of the line
number respectively, and asserts that the hundreds digit of the
line number is even
- A byte 8..15 represents the hundreds..billions digit of the line
number respectively, and asserts that the hundreds digit of the
line number is odd

In other words, the bytecode program only ever needs to read from
LINENO_MID; the information stored in LINENO_LOW and LINENO_TOP
therefore has to be hardcoded into it. The program therefore needs
to be able to generate 600 lines of output (as the smallest number
that's divisible by 100 to be able to hardcode the two low digits,
200 to be able to get the assertions about the hundreds digits
correct, and 3 and 5 to get the Fizzes and Buzzes in the right
place).

The bytecode interpreter consists of four instructions:
1. Load the bytecode from memory into %ymm2;
2. Use it as a shuffle mask to shuffle LINENO_MID_TEMP;
3. Subtract the bytecode from the shuffle result;
4. Output the result of the subtraction.

#define INTERPRET_BYTECODE(bc_offset, buf_offset) \
vmovdqu %ymm2, [%rdx + bc_offset]; \
vpshufb %ymm0, LINENO_MID_TEMP, %ymm2; \
vpsubb %ymm0, %ymm0, %ymm2; \
vmovdqa [OUTPUT_PTR + buf_offset], %ymm0
I studied politics and history. In my experience, there is also a bias towards writing exceptionally partisan things. I used to write things that were hedging, and which were summaries of the argument. Invariably, these papers scored significantly lower than papers which took a position (whether that was accurate or not).

Of course, university isn't reality. But my point is that people do not find realistic opinions that interesting. Saying "I don't know" or "both sides have merit" is sometimes accurate but never interesting. Society selects for this.

I also worked in finance which exposes you to a reasonably fast feedback loop between opinion and reality. I met people who had multi-decade records of crushing it, and they usually had very anodyne takes. You come in expecting they have access to some higher form of truth...in reality, they are just better at seeing what is already there.

You see this, particularly, when a famed investor says the market is over-valued. Inevitably, they will get lambasted publicly. But you realise that their view is usually one that works long-term, that is quantifiable, that uses reason...everyone else just wants emotion.

The difference isn't knowledge. You can have huge knowledge, you can be rewarded heavily for being right, you can be a media "expert"...but if you aren't interested in reality, it doesn't matter.

I don't think it is about avoiding having strong views either but it has to be strong views, weakly held. With time I think a minority of the population realises that some people will have the same opinion regardless of what facts are presented to them. What is frustrating is that society reproduces so much of this nonsense.

That's a throughput problem. Inserters have 1/20th the throughput of a belt. When you go truly just in time _WITH_ good throughput (aka: Logistic Bots), its so effective that a huge subset of the community thinks that its cheating.

Leaving 1000 items on a belt (aka: a belt of length 70) is just less effective than bots flying to fetch an item _just_ when you need it. The buffer is counter-productive.

-------

The only time you want to "buffer" in Factorio is to provide 12-items to stack inserters, to maximize UPS (updates per second). If your stack inserters are moving 12-items every swing, that's using less CPU power than if they're moving 6 or 5 items per swing.

And as we all know: the expert's biggest problem in Factorio is when you've built such a large factory that your own CPU starts to slow down (aka: UPS problems). So buffers of size 50 come to the rescue (the smallest buffer available, and just enough to take advantage of 12-item stack inserters).

One Solution to “The Most Dangerous Equation”
It sounds like you're asking "What's the risk that this study will turn out to be wrong, in the long run?" That's a very interesting question, but sadly there's no way to answer it from the available data.

Different studies can show different results for a lot of reasons... Sometimes, it's just random chance. Other times, it's due to bad study design, or poor experimental controls, or deliberate P-hacking. There's no way to tell from the results of a single study.

But that's not what this study is for, anyway... This is a preliminary observational study to look for possible drug candidates that might impact COVID severity. It's only suggesting potential future directions of investigation, not advocating for immediately dosing everyone with SSRIs... Medical policy changes won't happen until a much larger body of evidence has been established.

It's the nature of science that not all experiments produce correct results. Sometimes, we get it wrong--but that's why we have to keep repeating experiments, and trying different variations, before we trust a conclusion.

In the meantime, though, medical decision makers will weigh the costs vs benefits of proceeding with an experimental treatment... If the risks are low, and the need is great, they'll probably let the door open to more experiments. Most people seem to think that's a pretty sensible way to do things.

The Evolv Shift Air 2 is a cool case, but (as you say) it is on the large side for Mini-ITX cases and therefore likely has much more mass appeal, since the smaller a case is the more difficult (and rewarding for hobbyists/enthusiasts) it will be to spec out components that fit and have adequate cooling.

Just comparing it to some other popular Mini-ITX cases, 23 liters for the Evolv Shift Air 2 is nearly twice the volume of the NZXT H1 (13 liters), and far in excess of the Dan 4 (7 liters) or the Velka 5 (5 liters). Especially the latter two cases are extremely challenging to build in, and at 8.5 liters the "computer-1" is arguably most comparable to that segment despite its GPU length limitations. It's not a put-whatever-you-want-in-it case, and that makes it a niche offering.

I'm not going to argue that there's no TE tax attached here, especially since (unlike similar cases) it doesn't include a PCIe riser or other electronic components, but it's not way out of range for its market segment.

I see an uptick in rates has occurred. How far will it go?
Many cities have faced the problem of a shortage of affordable homes to buy, yet there are a lot of homes for rent. The rents climb, as do rates of unrented units. This is driven by the yield driving purchases at low carrying costs by corporate/offshore buyers.
You can get enough rent to cover the interest costs as long as you make the tenant pay light/heat/water as well as any condo fees.
Usually there is no business tax on properties bought to rent(yet they are a de-facto business). I separate the business taxes levied on offices, retail shops, warehouses etc., from the city levied property taxes.
What happens if cities declared these rental 'businesses' a true business? Exempting flats rented in houses or purpose built apartment buildings (who are taxed on profits and with realty taxes.
This would add an unwelcome tax on people who bought houses/condos for rental purposes. They may try to pass this to the tenant - but this would shift the yield to a less profitable point and cause them to want to exit this business. Buyers would then buy for residential use = just condo fees(if condos) plus realty taxes.
Implementing this would free a huge swathe of places owned by rent seekers into the residential market. In addition, would act to reduce undeveloped land costs - current coupled to and driven by rent seeking buyers?
How say you all to this concept?

Carbon is fundamentally different than halogens and really all other nonmetals due to its unique, strong affinity for 4 bonds, its small size, its relative non-electronegativity compared to other common elements in organic compounds (besides hydrogen), and the lack of d orbital complexity.

> What problems would occur if we were just nat-ing everyone behind those 4 billion IPv4 addresses?

Even with NAT'ing we're running out of IPv4 addresses.

Now I NAT on IPv4 at home, even though my router/ISP supports IPv6. First thing I do on any Linux install at home is get rid of IPv6. I don't see where the problem is. I really don't see why my home machines should have an IPv6 IP: the outside world sees my router's IP and that's it. Now I'm certainly misunderstanding all the benefits and security that IPv6 would bring me at home but meanwhile I'll stay on IPv4 and I really don't see what the problem is either.
> If the patent office (and later, the courts) would just apply the non-obviousness criteria reasonably we wouldn't have these problems.

Agreed, but given that inventors can endlessly refile with whatever minor tweaks they like, and examiners are incentivised according to the number of patents they grant, it isn't hard to wear them down, eventually.

Courts then presume a patent is valid and it takes a lot of effort to convince them otherwise, and typically it is only prior art that will do it.
