The whole point of RISC-V is to be a universal architecture used for everything. The idea is to have profiles for different verticals and application. In these profiles you define what extensions you need.

If there is really a significant win for a certain type of server workloads, that community will make its own profile and hopefully be able to get chips that utilize that.

The problem is that there are also many mixed workloads and having lots of general compute can work pretty well if you want to run a broad set of extinctions.

RISC-V is sort of a fluid spectrum from highly specialized to highly general depending on the use case.
$600k/yr but there are two things of note

- we are woefully wasteful with resources. If it was worth the engineering time we could probably cut it down to $120k a year

- it’s not worth the engineering time because the business would rather the devs and infra prioritize feature work over cost cutting every quarter. Their philosophy is that if we can’t afford our bill the company’s got bigger issues.
Sober people sometimes cause car crashes, but that in itself is a pretty poor reason to permit drunk driving.

I'll also point out that simply driving under the influence is a crime, even if you don't actually cause an accident. The statistical propensity of impaired drivers to cause accidents is sufficient cause to imprison people for this sort of thing.
"All men are created equal" is a pretty compelling reason to end segregation. "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" is a pretty compelling reason to end gun control. "nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" is a pretty compelling reason to require a trial to have an abortion.

You can make really good arguments from our established principles for and against most controversial issues. There is a clear method to add rights to the Constitution. I would say that happened for segregation and it took awhile to be enacted. If someone wants to change something for abortion or gun control let's amend the founding document otherwise let people live within the rules we have set.
I'm assuming there are no data transfer fees. If your M1 workload needs significant data, that alone could make it cheaper than having a cheaper external M1 and then paying every time you move data out of AWS into it.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by not interrupting the scrape and instead flagging those pages?

Sure! I can get a little more concrete about this project more easily than I can comment on your hypothetical about a large list of products, though, so forgive me in advance for pivoting on the scenario here.

I'm scraping job pages. Typically, one job posting == one link. I can go through that link for the job posting and extract data from given HTML elements using CSS selectors or XPath statements. However, sometimes the data I'm looking for isn't structured in a way I expect. The major area I notice variations in job ad data is location data. There are a zillion little variations in how you can structure the location of a job ad. City+country, city+state+country, comma separated, space separated, localized states, no states or provinces, all the permutations thereof.

I've written the extractor to expect a certain format of location data for a given job site - let's say "<city>, <country>", for example. If the scraper comes across an entry that happens to be "<city>, <state>, <country>", it's generally not smart enough to generalize its transform logic to deal with that. So, to handle it, I mark that particular job page link as needing human review, so it pops up as an ERROR in my logs, and as an entry in the database that has post_status == 5. After that, it gets inserted into the database, but not posted live onto the site.

That way, I can go in and manually fix the posting, approve it to go on the site (if it's relevant), and, ideally, tweak the scraper logic so that it handles transforms of that style of data formatting as well as the "<city>, <country>" format I originally expected.

Does that make sense?

I suspect I'm just writing logic to deal with malformed/irregular entries that humans make into job sites XD

The chrome color-changing is obnoxious and plainly harms UX, and the design is weirdly wasteful of pixels for something that looks like it was intended to save space. It also continues the flattifying trend of making it impossible to distinguish individual interactive elements unless you're looking directly at them—gimme buttons, depth, and contrast, damnit.

And that's after switching it to the more-classic-like version that keeps the URL bar separate.

The tab groups are sort of cool, but they're bugged for me (opening a link in a new tab results in a blank tab, after briefly displaying the intended content after I switch to it, but only in named groups, not in the default unnamed tab group) and their relationship or lack of relationship with windows keeps throwing me off. Overall this feels like something the window manager should handle, in some fashion, though I admit existing features aren't quite enough to cover what it does. It also seems like the whole concept needs to be integrated with bookmarks. All in all, good direction, but something's still missing.

Oh, and I also forget to switch to them, so haven't used them at all since about the first week after initially setting a few useful ones up. I need a way to at least tell Safari to open tabs for certain sites in certain tab groups, regardless of where I start to load them. Otherwise I end up with the same 100+ tabs in the unnamed tab group as I always have.

I didn’t mean for my comment to come off as a defence of the status quo there. I think it’s obviously a very stupid way to run a city. But fixing it requires very large capital expenditures, a decent amount of rather complicated planning, and taking on some big projects that could go wrong in any number of ways.

In addition to not being as simple as the only having to solve the stupid zoning problem, it presents a number of risks that you’d expect certain types of politicians to be averse to.

It also takes a long time for the benefits of any of those changes to manifest, which doesn’t really align with political incentives either. “If you elect me 2-3 more times then things will start to improve over the next 10 years or so” isn’t a very compelling campaign slogan.

> in the profoundly physical, tactile, and material

That depends. Some scholars identify a number of key concepts as construction blocks of their many derived terms. Not all of them are concrete - some are extremely subtle (also to be productive of so many different, yet related concepts).

For example, you write 'physical': some identify the root of that term in an immaterial concept of a dynamic principle, as if expressed by the explosive phoneme, that pertains immediately to "physical", "future", "foliage" in this construction assumed to express a "spawning". Similarly to 'material' ("measure", "mathematics"...), that some see as coming from the key root concept of limited extensions.

In the development of the terms and idea, concretion and abstraction may follow each other ("measure", "moon", "month"...).

There are certainly harsher places to be, but the US is not friendly to people who do not "give their fair share." It's already mandatory.

Maybe I'm missing something, but the vaccinated population is the one that has introduced an additional evolutionary pressure, so wouldn't we expect to see mutations (that affect vaccinated people) in that population? Vaccine tolerance is no advantage in unvaccinated hosts.

I think talking about ISAs as better or worse than one another is often a bad idea for the same reason that arguing about whether C or Python is better is a bad idea. Different ISAs are used for different purposes. We can point to some specific things as almost always being bad in the modern world like branch delay slots or the way the C preprocessor works but even then for widely employed languages or ISAs there was a point to it when it was created.

RISC-V has a number of places it's employed where it makes an excellent fit. First of all academia. For an undergrad making building the netlist for their first processor or a grad student doing their first out of order processor RISC-V's simplicity is great for the pedagogical purpose. For a researcher trying to experiment with better branch prediction techniques having a standard high-ish performance open source design they can take and modify with their ideas is immensely helpful. And for many companies in the real world with their eyes on the bottom line like having an ISA where you can add instructions that happen to accelerate your own particular workload, where you can use a standard compiler framework outside your special assembly inner loops, and where you don't have to spend transistors on features you don't need.

I'm not optimistic about RISC-V's widescale adoption as an application processor. If I were going to start designing an open source processor in that space I'd probably start with IBM's now open Power ISA. But there are so many more niches in the world than just that and RISC-V is already a success in some of them.

None of these problems have to be minted on the blockchain to be fixed. Every single issue you've listed here is pervasive because of bad business practices and lateral decision-making that fails to benefit everyone in their preexisting systems. Web3 is not a miracle band-aid for these problems: it's just shifting the paradigm to a playing field where the haves and the have-nots are driven further apart.

Also, I have no idea where people are coming from on this "it makes it easier to hire people" idea. I think it's confirmation bias: if you care enough to implement a Web3 hiring process, you're only going to find people who are equally as interested in the field as you are. Meanwhile, I could list the number of good software developers I know who care about the blockchain on 0 hands. I know self-made crypto millionaires, genius disassembly workers and the sorts of lumpenprogrammers that everyone dreams of hiring: not a single one of them cares even a little bit about this garbage. You're missing out on a massive portion of the labor force, and expecting people to just start caring about this new and redundant hiring method because it's "cool".

I realize a lot of this has come off rather hostile, but it stems from a single reason: I'm tired of people conflating decentralization with "Web3". The blockchain is a niche tool, much like a linked list, and it solves very specific problems very well. Trying to shoehorn a technical implementation into the real-world is how we foster bad design though, and it's no coincidence that we've yet to see a single truly successful real-world blockchain solution yet. The best thing we got out of it was a transparent fiat currency, and even that got ruined by people who misconstrued it as a speculative asset. All signs point towards this expansion of the protocol layer being an astronomically bad idea, and while I'm no 10x developer, I'm frankly inclined to agree.

On paper. However in the real world cities are only built next to other cities. You could build a "perfect" city like LA in ability to support population and jobs in Oklahoma for pretty cheap - but nobody will come.

That is ignoring the fact that in our perfect city above, just a few years later we will discover something new we forgot to account for and now our city is imperfect.
I've looked at that mpeg.chariaglione.org URL you linked (many times) but it doesn't seem to have the full standard (even a draft), just amendments and very target corrections.

by multiplexing better, you generally need to not differentiate between high and low priority. Being that I've been trying to convince people of this for years - all I can do is try to point at resources that demonstrate how we think about how packets work is frequently wrong, and/or try to provide a demonstrable example.

Let's take voip vs netflix over 60ms - netflix, like most DASH video traffic from most video services, is very bursty. It tries to grab a chunk of video,
and over the course of 1-2 seconds, fills the pipe, and voip sends one tiny packet every 20ms, which kind of looks like this:

What you want:

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN -> you
V V V

What you get:

VVVNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN -> you

What AQM does is keep that induced queue short (roughly 16ms with DOCSIS-PIE). The netflix "pulse" goes away and you end up with

NNNNNNNNNNNVNNNNNNNNNNNNNN -> you

Netflix loads the next segment a tiny fraction slower, but your voip call doesn't get the jitter and latency side-effect anymore.
Yeah - I wonder that too. I suspect all of the above. Having a privileged education and family contacts probably reinforces it.

From what I’ve seen, openness and honesty are highly regarded in technical work but these traits are considered disadvantages in business.

> ...relatively small increase in supply (say 20% over 20 years which is quite feasible) can have a huge influence.

I think your framing of that number is a bit wrong, we've been under building demand by orders of magnitude for 40 years. Getting the sort of increase that might make housing "affordable", e.g. housing at only 3-6x the median household income, would require construction on an impossibly massive scale over the next 20 years.

To wit, the Sunset neighborhood in San Francisco has added 21 new homes since 2011. 12% of the city's land area has added just 21 new homes over the last decade. Generously 80 new residents of San Francisco, a city of over 750,000 people, have been added to 12% of the city's land area in a decade.

The amount of politics, money, and boots on the ground construction necessary to make housing affordable in West Coast cities is out of reach in any "business as usual" scenario in my mind. We'll need a crisis, until then, the mountain will remain unmoved I think.
Software development is not always the best metaphor for everything.

Has LA become particularly more dense over the last decade in your area? If not, then they should have no planning problems as long as they have funding. But someone decided to build a bunch of apartments over a few short years, you could quickly saturate your school infrastructure (and not to mention teacher hiring) until the school system could catch up.

It is straightforward to run an x86 macOS VM on Linux with QEMU & KVM. It's against the EULA to do so on non-Mac hardware, but technically it is possible.
Who cares if they're taxed at the max tax rate? One of the main effects of repealing Prop 13 would be to start actually collecting taxes. I don't think that the fact that people who are forced out (because they can't pay their yearly taxes) now have to pay taxes, which they CAN pay because they're now liquid, something we should be concerned about after making the decision to repeal Prop 13?

Old people get a lot of protections. Protections they put in place themselves. Prop 13 is one of those protections. Perpetuating it just means that the protections will never go away. Maybe they can just move in with their children - the ones that are apparently a driving factor of why they can't leave the region.
One of the core pillars of cryptocurrency, and DeFi, is that traditional finance is anachronistic, and full of stupid stuff not fit for the modern age.

Take the first sentence on ethereum's intro to DeFi:
"DeFi is an open and global financial system built for the internet age – an alternative to a system that's opaque, tightly controlled, and held together by decades-old infrastructure and processes. "

Lots of the slowness and beurocracy of old finance is scoffed at as being, in more words, "stupid bullshit".

Rule after rule, and obstacle after obstacle, is loudly ranted about how terrible it is.

So the solution, in these people's explicit methods, is to throw away everything and start green field.

Now, I'm a software engineer. I understand the allure of green field. Surely, "how hard could it be"?

So because the description of how stupid cryptocurrency is can fill books (and there are several), let's stick to a short summary of the outcome of DeFi so far:

It's barely newsworthy every time one of these LARP banks topple over, losing all the money.

It's almost a weekly occurance.

And not only is all the money stolen, it's also not reversible!

When one of the founders of the pirate bay hacked a (real) bank's mainframe, he didn't actually get away with much (a couple of hundred dollars, I think was all that his accomplices managed to withdraw from ATMs). The rest was transferred back. (also suddenly "lack of extradition treaty" became a non-problem)

Basically cryptocurrencies and DeFi is software engineers with no understanding of economics, law, or society, discovering why all of the rules, laws, and procedures currently in place exist.

Another example is that AML/KYC laws didn't fall from the sky. "Well what if we didn't have laws at all?" is not really a rational place to start.

That's not to say that traditional finance is perfect. Absolutely not. But the cure for bad laws is not "The Purge".

So yeah, it's not this event, so much as this happens all the fucking time.

Imagine if these people were selling cars, and complaining about how much pushback they're getting for putting them on public roads, while every day there's deaths all over from unregulated cars that have swords on them, chopping heads off of the drivers themselves, and innocent pedestrians.

Like, how do you not see why this is causing pushback and that your way of replacing the seatbelt with a potato is stupid, and that actually the law that says a seatbelt is not allowed to be a potato maybe has a valid point?

Especially since things are more subtle than that. A non-techie cannot tell the difference between a seatbelt and a potato, and that's why the law says your car needs to have actual seatbelts.
