One thing that would make a difference on small accounts is the ability to do prepaid billing only. That way you define your budget in advance and they enforce it. The problem with the current billing is that people who are new to the system have no hope of understanding what is going on and they have to accept the open-ended nature of the billing system to learn.
One leak in the population of 7 billion and the whole plan is a waste.
I wonder how easy these attacks are to control. The reason the great powers signed the Geneva protocols against poison gas use is that the gas was as likely or more to cause problems for the user as it was for the enemy. The same applies to biological agents.

Once you push parts into the supply chain you can’t really tell where they will end up.
You see what you want to see. These are not true in my daily life,

1 "Rich, powerful, greedy people and corporations just get richer, more powerful, and more greedy."
2 "Everyone seems to increasingly be in it for themselves, not for society."
3 "Or, people who are in it for society tend to lose or to get screwed until they give up."

Dial back the doom and gloom mindset. It's an abundant world.
It's interesting to look at things from a controls perspective.

An economy (any kind of economy!) is just a feedback control system.

Generally, when you're choosing a feedback controller, you have two options: PID, where you have a set of 3 "dumb" rules, and all you have to do is tune the gains on those dumb rules. Or MPC, where you need to actually build a model of the system you are controlling, and then you can optimally plan to control it the future.

In general, MPC is quite good, much better than PID, if you have a great model of your system. It fails when the model is bad, or when you can't determine your state with accuracy.

PID can be very good -- for systems with very fast dynamics and response times, it is better than MPC, because you don't spend a lot of time in the feedback loop evaluating the model, and you don't need to worry about modeling at all ("model-free")

I think of an economy (very broadly) the same way. The mythical "free market" that everyone talks about is like a PID controller over the whole economy. It's a simple rule, supply and demand, and you can keep prices under control quite well with just a PID controller. But PID can fail spectacularly, too, and cause instability.

In general, you know when instability is happening when you look at a graph of your state variables and it looks like an exponential with a positive coefficient [1]. I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this: every single chart we can draw about our economy right now looks like an exponential. Energy, probably the most base measurement, looks like an exponential. This is bad [2] and everyone knows it, which I think is the source of a lot of the modern ennui.

Our old MPC models failed spectacularly, because we didn't have a good way of modeling the whole economy, we only had very granular and incomplete information about the markets, and we didn't have a way of actually solving the optimization problem. The obvious missing link here is the computer.

I agree wholeheartedly with the author, and I think it's really valuable to bring up that we already have central planning going on in the form of the corporation. There are thousands of people whose work is completely decoupled from profit and who engage in long term planning at a scale larger than the market they operate in.

What he describes is like a cascade controller, where the inner loops occur in the linear supply/demand region and the outer loops are a smarter model-informed controller. Rather than pretend like the outer loops are just like the inner loops (a pie-in-the-sky libertarian view) or pretend like the inner loops are just like the outer loops (the anti-capitalist view) we should be thinking about the strengths and weaknesses of both. Right now we're very good at the inner loop but we're basically randomly flailing about with the outer loop.

Building nukes isn't going to stop people from throwing trash and sewage everywhere or farmers burning their crops.
wrong - many countries kept everything opened and the curve subsided after a while. It doesn't go to the infinite.
The comparison is completely fair, because on RISC-V there is no better way to generate the carries required for computations with large integers. You cannot generate a carry with a 64-bit addition, because it is lost and you cannot store it.

You should take into account that the libgmp authors have a huge amount of experience in implementing operations with large integers on a very large number of CPU architectures, i.e. on all architectures supported by gcc, and for most of those architectures libgmp has been the fastest during many years, or it still is the fastest.
Their egress bandwidth pricing definitely wasn't designed to meet my needs. I forget how many orders of magnitude above market it was when I priced it out, but it was ugly.
I had the same problem. A fairly high end 5.1 system and I was unable to hear most of the dialogue. I have no idea what was going on in that movie, but I could hear the firing pin hit the primer in crystal clarity.
> That being said, nVidia is currently not playing in ARM's space, so it's hard to argue that this acquisition will harm US consumers or raise prices for them. Hence my feeling is that this is politically motivated, at least to some extent.

Huh? They currently use arm designs in the Nintendo switch and their own shield line. They also utilize them in their mellanox Ethernet adapters and network switches. What makes you believe that won't give them a reason to increase prices for competitors that also use ARM chips, if not outright refuse to grant them a license?
It seems like a certain type of mind would be great at this. I wonder what else being good at cryptic crosswords correlates with.
Yes - computer "science" is a joke. I'm certainly not one for rampant regulation, but this is an area that needs to get seriously beefed up.

Especially with the right systems far more people can be harmed than by a building collapse :p

No. Some are OK with the risk.

> this is a democracy

If all the possible choices for the vote are supported by all the parties. If there are unacceptable choices, this is just a dictatorship of the majority.
Yes, overapplying directional advice is a problem, and channels aren't always the right choice, but mutexes/cond vars/atomics have always been part of Go and they've always been listed as viable options, just not usually the best choice for high level coordination.
To quote the go1 Effective Go on channel-based interaction:

This approach can be taken too far. Reference counts may be best done
by putting a mutex around an integer variable, for instance.
But as a high-level approach, using channels to control access makes it easier
to write clear, correct programs.

I'm sure somebody has been banging a "Go programs should never use mutexes" drum, but it hasn't ever been the position of the Go team that channels are a panacea or that mutexes _shouldn't_ be used, as far as I've ever seen.
Vaccine mandates are already ubiquitous across the Western world (and the non-Western world). In most cases, it is infants and children having a "medical procedure" forced on them. Your point still stands, but in reality an overwhelming consensus exists that vaccines are an acceptable exemption to bodily autonomy.

EDIT: I didn't make an argument, I only stated uncontroversial facts. Would love an explanation of downvotes.
Utter insanity. Who told you a "real" lockdown would stop the virus? Where did you get this "fact" from?

> My conclusion is that Risc V is a terrible architecture.

Kinda stopped reading here. It's a pretty arrogant hot take. I don't know this guy, maybe he's some sort of ISA expert. But it strains credulity that after all this time and work put into it, RISC-V is a "terrible architecture".

My expectation here is that RISC-V requires some inefficient instruction sequences in some corners somewhere (and one of these corners happens to be OP's pet use case), but by and large things are fine.

And even then, I don't think that's clear. You're not going to determine performance just by looking at a stream of instructions on modern CPUs. Hell, it's really hard to compare streams of instructions from different ISAs.
> There is no “freedom from being injected” or “freedom from spreading a virus” or “freedom from denying a vaccine, getting sick and straining the healthcare system”.

Actually, any authority not explicitly given to the government in the US Constitution is implicitly a right. See the Tenth Amendment. Also, wouldn't those fall under the right of privacy used to justify abortions or the right to due process protected by the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments?
Yeah, I totally understand what you are saying. One should point out however that my parent comment is pretty much the same, i.e implying that 'it's become unstable and slow for everyone'. Not that I want to blame them, we all have a limited point of view and comments on the internet often sound harsh simply by negligence and not intentionally.
> A computer is supposed to compute, but the RISC-V ISA does not provide everything that is needed for all the kinds of computations that exist.

This is non-sense. You can still do everything you need. Its just that in some cases the code size is a bit bigger or smaller.

And the difference with compressed instruction is not nearly as big, if you add fusion the difference is marginal.

So really its not a pathological case its 'its slightly worse' case and even that is hard to prove in the real world given the other benefit RISC-V brings that compensate.

And we can find 'slightly worse case' in the opposite direction if we would go looking for them.

If you gave 2 equal skilled teams 100M and told them to make the best possible personal computer chip, I would bet on the RISC-V team winning 90 times out of a 100.
> Strategically, why wouldn’t the US gov’t want a US company owning ARM

It's worth noting ARM Ltd is a British company currently owned by a Japanese company. The U.K. and Japan are two of the closest, if not the closest, defense and industrial partners the U.S. enjoys. And unlike many U.S. allies, they're more-or-less close by choice. IOW, there's a deep reservoir of trust across the spectrum--military, legal, political. Both the U.K. and Japan tend to exercise their independence far more freely than other U.S. allies precisely because of the mutual respect afforded among the three. There's much less tension and apprehension among those three than as between, say, the U.S. and France. A critical supplier like ARM being in the hands of the U.K. and/or Japan is good enough from the perspective of the U.S., absent some extraordinary complicating context.
Do you know that it's very normal for people not in a risk group for the flu to not only get double vaccines but to actually get a new one every single year? OMG, doctor's must be going crazy with all the hypochondriacs doing that.
What about [end to end] encryption? By using it we are threatening the safety and health of others. (e.g. the police is slower at solving crime because they don't have access to all private information)
Conradish is a tool designed for teachers of foreign languages. It lets you quickly take a online news article and add definitions of words with the help of Google Translate. A good way to help students build vocabulary, I think. The extension can be used in other educational situations too, where a teacher might want to add notes and perhaps questions to an article about a current event.
Access to healthcare is considered a right in Germany.

They're mandating vaccines so that they can continue to provide all their citizens with this human right.

Sometimes rights clash, which is why you can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater despite having the right to freedom of speech.

An individual's right to do X on principle can absolutely be overruled by the right for a larger group of people to continue living on this earth.
> We can reduce the number of people who suffer long term consequences, the number of deaths, and the load on hospitals.

Huh. Curious, what kind of insane abrogations of bodily autonomy have you been advocating for the last 20 years of the obesity epidemic?

I can't find anything in your post history advocating for mandatory calorie restriction for fat people, to "reduce the number of people who suffer long term consequences, the number of deaths, and the load on hospitals" for a condition that has not only killed FAR more people than COVID itself, but is the second significant comorbidity of it, and is likely responsible for more COVID deaths than vaccine hesitancy.
It doesn't make any sense to compare it to neighboring countries, you need to compare the same country to previous years. That's the real interesting statistic, and the one that nobody is showing you. Because it's not dramatic enough..
None of those are the right answer. These are the answers people come up with having never talked to anyone who disagrees.

The right answers are:

1. They don't trust the medical authorities to be honest about the risks.

2. They don't feel a need for it because they're at low risk of COVID and know it.

3. They don't believe it will change anything.
You’re right, my error.
>Most of them have probably had COVID already, or soon will, giving them an immunity just as good as vaccination.

Immunity from prior-infection was worse than vaccination at protecting people from Delta.[1]

Yeah, this is an example of what I'm talking about. I'll get on the train this morning and ride to work and probably see 100,000 people, none of whom are unmasked or wearing "chin masks". I'll work all day and not see a single one of my co-workers faces. Same thing on the way home. Then, because it's Friday, I'll go out for drinks with my wife or maybe the same friends I usually see because we aren't in lockdown, and spend a couple of hours in a bar unmasked. Maybe I'll post a photo of myself having a beer?

Yet you have some friends on Instagram who post when they're out, and have seen some news reports (probably of the variety of "Japan's COVID mystery, why are their numbers so low?") where they hunt out some drongos in some dodgy tachinomya who aren't wearing masks for their story about how Japanese people aren't wearing masks either, and because it fits into your worldview, you'll glom onto that and post some non-peer reviewed rubbish that confirms your fervent wish that you shouldn't be in any way inconvenienced.

Oh look at that, I just saw the morning news. 115 new cases of COVID today in a country of 120 million during the Delta wave. It's a mystery I tell you. A complete mystery.

Don't listen to this guy, wear a mask, get vaccinated.
That actually has a lot to do with the pandemic itself, as intensive care personnel quit their jobs due to the extended stress.

Inequality is something we can measure to some degree and it seems to be rising fast.
I do see how this might be a conflict, thank you for pointing it out. In general I’m not convinced that those competitors couldn't just leave and use some other instruction set. If ARM is too important to business to be owned by a selfish company, then declare it public domain already…
North Korea also claims to be a democracy.

Perhaps this is true for covid19, as the vaccines do not seem to stop the vaccinated from getting infected and spreading the virus. But for vaccines that actually stop the majority of vaccinated from becoming infectious the risk reward calculation changes.

All vaccinations have some level of risk. If you are surrounded by unvaccinated, your risk of not getting the vaccine outweighs the risk of catching the disease from the herd. In this instance you have aligned incentives.

However, if you are in a entirely vaccinated population, your risk profile changes, and it is now possible for your incentives to become unaligned with "the team", or at least more blurry.

Unfortunately the average antivaxer's mental model is probably not so well defined that they realise is what they have been doing. I would not be surprised if the majority of them don't realise/agree that they've been selfishly coasting on the coat-tails of the crowd with other vaccines/diseases, and therefore they have trouble realising their currently "successful" strategy is not going to work so well this time round.
Holy, thats a huge codebase. Github even shows no code/syntax hl for many cpp files because they are so big.

I fiddled around and searched for some not so well known sites in germany and the results were surprisingly good. But it looks really... aged.

> Your freedom ends where your fist ends and my nose begins.

I see this used every time, if you pay close attention to the phrase you will notice that it can literally be used every time by every party.

There will be people thinking that you can't limit their "freedom" because a vaccine is out there at this point and those who fears for their lives can take it and forget about the virus (in most cases).

There will be people thinking that unvaxxed people should loose their "freedom" because they apparently have an increasing probability to infect others (which in most cases are vaccinated and would get a mild infection in most cases?).

I personally don't care about my unvaxxed friends, I hang out with them as I've always had and I do respect their choice. But I am biased towards individuals rights than "public health".

In 2008 I replied to a Thomson (now Thomson Reuters) job add that I might be interested.

A 45 min. or so phone call was agreed on, where I was asked general questions
about my Ph.D. research, technical experience, model design and programming skills.

A few days later I was flewn in for a two-day on site meeting. I was hosted in a very nice 4 **** hotel (Embassy Suites). The interviews were all-day and ranged from straight forward probability theory to high level software design and NLP/IR/ML topics with a whole range of super-nice people (I spoke with people at 5 different hierarchy levels) that later became my colleagues, and in the evenings we went to excellent (by U.S. standards) restaurants.
I liked that the interviewers were not at all arrogant, and many of the questions were asked out of genuine interest rather than being silly logic puzzles. And the better the interviewers were in mathematics, the goofier was their sense of humor, so I had a feeling this might be the right place for me ;-).

After these two steps, I was made an offer that I accepted without negotiation, and I didn't regret it. Stayed for 10 years and made it to research director; when I left, I donated my karaoke kit from BestBuy to remind the team of the fund we had together. Thanks, guys, you rock (if you read HN)!
That's not really the problem though. See, no matter how many ICU beds you have, the people going to the ICU are about 40% or so likely to die from COVID and the remainder will recover but will take a very long time to do so and have a significant chance of having long term residual effects and/or complications.

You don't really wish that kind of thing on anybody. So you try to avoid people going to the ICU in the first place (assuming you have a humane government, which unfortunately isn't always the case).

That said, the pandemic has definitely taught a lot of countries that stripping your health care system is probably a bad idea.
Changing architectures is no small thing regardless of how many times Apple has done it.
Wait until they see how awful IaC is.
if this is your body's reaction to the vaccine, what makes you think your chance of getting very sick from actual covid is very low?

> The MRNAs are non-sterilizing

The vaccines we have are non-sterilizing - and my understanding is that the reason is mostly because we needed at least something very quickly and sterilizing vaccines for respiratory virus are harder to research. It is not inherent property of the technology as far as I know.

Sterilizing vaccines for COVID seem to be theoretically possible. "Natural" infection generates stronger immune response on mucus membranes as well as deep inside the body and that provides higher protection against infection. There's no reason why that wouldn't be possible to replicate using a vaccine. But nobody succeeded at making one yet, so we'll have to see if it's practical.
If nobody pays, there's even less of it. Not sure what's your point.
The graph is exactly that. Each country’s excess mortality compared to that countries previous years.

The comparison with neighbours is to gleam the effects of their differing mitigation strategies.
