Do not force me into autocomplete mode when I'm typing in my search terms. I don't care what anyone's "reasons" are for forcing me to put up with flashing, irrelevant bullshit when I'm searching for something. I don't care how "fast" it is.

Just let me type stuff into the search box -- including typo corrections and modifications to what I'm searching for -- and hit ENTER to start the actual search.

When I'm ready to start my search I'll hit the fucking ENTER key. Stop annoying me with your stupid assumptions about what I'm looking for.

This ONE THING is why I switched to Webcrawler.com two years ago. I type in five or ten words with ZERO craptastic guesses flashing around on my screen, hit ENTER, and THEN it returns what I'm looking for.
Re: crawling being too hard

Have you contributed your crawl data to common crawl?
I think I agree it was a mistake/wart. I can understand the frustration of the GMP dev in the text - they get hit hard by this. The omission feels arbitary and capricious and a bit ideologically motivated. The defense of the choice seems like post-hoc rationalization.

RiscV looks like a nice ISA otherwise.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was eventually extended to add a set of variant instructions that wrote flags to an explicitly specified register.

>how hard would it be for AWS to implement a similar system?

I don't want to be that guy who yells out from my armchair to say something is easy. But........ quota management at its core is incrementing a number, then reading the number back. AWS is already doing things plenty more complicated than that. I'm sure they could build this if they cared to.
Lobsters is a great example of the benefits _and dangers_ of expert/experienced opinion. Lobsters is highly oriented around programming languages and security and leaves out large swaths of what's out there in computing. That's fine of course, but it creates a pretty big distortion bubble that's largely driven by the opinions of the gatekeepers on the site rather than a more wide computing audience.
Measuring revenue sounds like a total pain in the ass, and sounds ripe for "hollywood accounting", and like a pointless jobs program for lawyers and accountants. How do you measure the revenue gained from the copyright on iOS? The total value of the devices it is sold on? Some arbitrary percentage? What about the copyright on a piece of artwork selling tickets to a gallery? Or for that matter a movie, with movie tickets, and merchandise? Or a song performed live as part of a concert?

I'd suggest a different system, you have to name a "public domain bounty" for the work, and pay X% of that per year (+$100). At any time anyone can pay that bounty and the work reverts to the public domain (so that they, and everyone else, can use it). You can, of course, adjust the bounty as it becomes more or less valuable for you to keep the work private.

The government keeps all the money (to avoid perverse incentives to raise bounties if you expect someone to pay it).

Edit: But I'm much less ambitious than you, if you asked me how to fix copyright from scratch, my answer would be "reduce the term to 10 years, and require registration". It's not perfect, but it's simple.

“An intense but short-term exposure to cannabis vapor lowered sperm counts and slowed sperm movement, or motility, not only in the directly exposed male mice but also in their sons.

The current study uses more controlled circumstances than human studies, which often have to rely on surveys…”

There are many side-effects from use of recreational drugs: physical, mental, social, financial, etc.. This is just more scientific evidence for the level of one of the physical side-effects from just one of the milder self-medications certain people choose.

Let the study speak for itself. You pays your money (or your life, or the lives of your friends, family and society), and makes your choice. But it should be an informed choice, at least.
Oddly, there's certain things in Azure that don't work with the credits feature, like spot instances. I'm not sure why, but it's awesome for not blowing up my bank account because I did something wrong.
Neither Intel nor AMD supply SoC cores in the same way that ARM does--they don't really operate in the same market segment.

NVidia's competition in the hardware acceleration space often includes ARM cores for management (e.g., the Xilinx Zynq https://www.xilinx.com/products/silicon-devices/soc/zynq-700... ), or are extension of the ARM instruction set (e.g. AWS's Graviton https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/graviton/ ).

RISC-V suppliers (e.g, SiFive) is the closest thing that ARM to has to a competitor here, and they're nowhere near the same scale.

It's always worked fine for me when it comes to finding simple things with a
search. I think it's deteriorated in some ways though. I don't find the advanced search operators reliable anymore (eg. give me all the news about a topic published between certain dates) and I think it caps collections of things very early now, rather than returning the "billion" of results it says it has (eg. give me more than the 1000 most popular cat memes that I've seen before, or all the books about beaches).
Of all the virtues and vices we humans possess, the stubborn pursuit of a singular, outlandish idea may just be my favorite.

One other point not mentioned, is copying 4GiB of data across a network does take a bit of time, over the internet even longer. This link https://releases.ubuntu.com/21.10/ubuntu-21.10-desktop-amd64... is to a 2.9GB file so you can see how long it will take to download 4GiB over your internet connection.

There is also the point on ASLR making life difficult, well if ASLR is switched on, there are a number of other options which may be also switched on in that part of the system, eg Control Flow Guard, DEP (been around for a couple of decades now), forced ASLR, bottoms up ASLR, High Entropy (more useful if you have shed loads of ram installed than minimum amounts), SEHOP (http://www.uninformed.org/?v=5&a=2&t=txt) and Validate Heap integrity which are all on by default now a days in the systems I have seen. Then there is group policy where in Pro or above, you can control what programs run, in home you can add some of the group policy reg keys and get the same functionality when the functionality exists in the dll's.

It reminds me of the bug where you could use notepad to pop a shell, but I'd be interested to see if this would still work with core isolation switched on, Defender Application Guard switched on to sandbox different apps, not just Edge.

The number of installers for various apps which dont handle Ransomware Protection aka Controlled Folder Access being switched on, even some big names like Dell's Data Vault havent got that sorted yet, but I still think the best way to hack a system is the old way and get them to download and install an app which can run malicious software or become malicious like exploiting macro functionality because who even configures their firewalls to block anything by default from leaving your machine or network or router? Its such a pain configuring that side of things, exploiting human behaviour aka laziness is something you can count on.

Its worth reminding ourselves about Stuxnet, they still havent caught those people, but lots of assumptions exist.

Speaking about RISC-V, no it is not. In RISC-V "C" all 16 instructions have their 32 bit counterparts. When front-end reads in an instruction word (32 bits) it extracts two 32 bit ops from it then feeds them serially to decoder. So, there's only one same decoder that does the work both for 16 and 32 bit ops (basically it does not distinguish them), and that's also what makes macro op fusion possible and easy to implement, unlike ARM's Thumb which has two separate decoders with all the consequences.
That's the benefit of being an early innovator. That doesn't mean threats don't exist.
Geeze, how much gnarly stuff are you doing?!
The parent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_Space_Command has existed since 1982, so why do you think they need to suddenly justify their existence?

Is this just a stupid reaction to Donald Trump being the one to do the reorganization?
> Don’t forget only existing as a separate department as an ego boost by the the idiot who literally tried to overthrow the government when he didn’t get his way in an election.

While the description of Trump is accurate, that of the US Space Force is not: it does not exist as a separate department, it is a separate uniformed service within the Department of the Air Force, much as the Marine Corps is within the Department of the Navy.
>My view is that the press 'narratives', even if they technically 'do not lie' (i.e. standards) are more damaging than for example, QAnon

I would disagree here. We are being told what to believe but that's nothing new, just look at how much press coverage minority issues got 100 years ago. Qanon, on the other hand, isn't misrepresentation but outright misinformation that turns some into outright insane conspiracy theorists believing JFK Jr is returning from the grave.

And one of the more insane subreddits, I got linked from a nursing subreddit, is a "penectomy" subreddit for people who want to remove their members, not because of gender dysphoria, but because of a sexual fetish. I regret to say there were pictures as well. That's straight up mental illness, but it's got a whole community to validate peoples delusions. The power to normalize is as worrying as the power to fashion a narrative. It's more than political, it encompasses everything.

Anyone who's been on /b/ can tell you, while the media is awful, places where CP is so common there are memes about it represent another level entirely. In a sense that's being told what to believe through social concensus. It'd sound insane to say one of the most popular websites in the early 2000s regularly had CP posted but it's okay because that's just free speech. Unless you've been there, which many people here have, in which case it becomes normalized and just "one of those bad things that happens regardless of policing". That's so much more worrying to me than governments and the media trying to control information as they always have.
> 4 is just 1. Compromise inherently involves both parties giving something up.

Submission and compromise may be similar in many cases, but they are not the same.

> That only works for up to N parties.

In the cases where it only works for N parties (which can vary wildly depending on the situation), agreed.

> You can't achieve stable compromise with everyone ever because you have parties that are not rectifiable.

That which is impossible is indeed impossible. However, that which is predicted does not always turn out so.

> You could also read 4 as an example of 3.

If you aren't concerned about accuracy, I suppose.

> If you are going to force someone to say yes by social pressure or threatening to burn down their house, that's still authoritarian.

Depends which meaning of the word you're using, this is the first hit on Google:

authoritarian: favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom.

> I know. I'm mixed on this, but isn't it ultimate work-life separation?

Work-life separation originally meant that you were done with work at 5PM, didn’t have to worry about staying late or answering e-mails at night, and your weekends were 100% yours.

This latest iteration of work/life separation has gone to an extreme where you’re supposed to suck the life out of work and pretend all of your coworkers are just faceless screen names instead of actual people.

Work/life balance is good.

Sucking the life out of work is not fun, IMO. I’d much rather work with people, collaborate, and build relationships than be reduced to a robot taking tasks from the queue.

The dead comment is unfortunately correct, there will probably be no herd immunity with these vaccines. That's what I hear from every virologist/epidemiologist lately anyways, and the real world data with highly vaccinated countries having record surges appears to confirm it.

I agree that it would be a much stronger argument. However, I also find it cruel to force people into an injection that they do not want, and would probably still oppose a universal vaccine mandate for that reason. I'd be okay with a mandate that allows people who really don't want the vaccine to opt out. I'd even be okay with that for the COVID vaccines if it wasn't for the 2G stuff and the awful rhetoric against unvaccinated people that preceded it. Enacting the mandate now makes the whole thing feel too much like "we'll get you somehow". Like I said, I find it cruel. It's not my idea of a humane society.

The black to white latency is over 90ms, which is quite funny to me.

Macs have always been horrific for latency - I can always see the delay between me pressing a key and the letter appearing. But, I can also see iPhone OLED displays flick on and off due to their low frequency PWM, so this might be unusual pickiness from me.
Several differences:

1) Fractional reserve banking has caused numerous financial crisies.

2) In the US, banks are required by law to carry deposit insurance (FDIC). While it is theoretically possible for the FDIC to become insolvent, that is far less likely than a bank becoming insolvent. Further, in practice, the FDIC can't fail because the government will just fund it directly if it's actual funds ran out.

3) While banks have less cash on hand than the sum of their debts; they are still solvent. That is to say, they are capable of paying back all of their creditors, they just need to be able to collect from their debtors in order to afford it.

When a bank takes a deposit for $100, they have a $100 liability, and a $100 asset in cash. Net worth $0, technically solvent.

They then loan out $90. Considering the likelihood of repayment, interest rate, and loan term, this debt is an asset that is worth (hopefully) >$90, so the bank remains solvent. The bank can take some of that surplass worth they have to do things like pay salaries, build offices, fund FDIC, give executive's their bonues, etc.

In contrast, when a stablecoin takes a deposit of $100, they have a $100 liability and $100 asset in cash. If they take $90 to pay salaries, they now have only $10 dollars in assets and are insolvent. In theory, a stablecoin could loan out that $90, or use it to invest is something else. If they do this, they are in roughly the same situation as the bank where they are hoping that their asset ends up being worth as much as they expect. They are also less regulated then banks, so the odds of something going wrong (either mallisiously or not) is greater.

In practice, even the normal banking system runs into some issues:

* Deposits into banks are much more liquid then loans out of banks. In theory, everyone can decide to withdraw all their money tomorrow. But if you took at a mortgage, the bank may have to wait 30 years to be fully payed back. This can be mitigate by selling debt to other institutions, or taking out loans backed by the debt, but you can still run into issue when these markets experience problems.

* Debtors do not always pay back what they owe to the banks. In theory this is accounted for, but if banks overestimate the actual value of the debts, they can end up in a situation where they are actually insolvent.
oh man... it is really hard to see through news nowadays. What is real, what isn't? That's why transparency is such an important value in organizations and governments. The more transparency, the easier it is to move things in the right direction. That's why I'm confident that China will have a lot of trouble with corruption and long-term growth. But it doesn't mean that we're good at it, and we should strive for Democracy to also imply transparency.
