this has been a worldwide problem - the fact that it even happened in germany is concerning. Governments were looking for easy way outs left and right, but more importantly, did not take the time to create an international scientific task force to research treatments. The Manhattan project started 2 years after the start of WW2. Maybe the time is right to consider large-scale responses to this war as well. Or at least to realize that epidemiology isn't really as good as it should be and we need to fix that fast.
> This woman had a pathological relationship and generalizes over it. She is projecting that relationship over everyone

From the article:

The vast majority of good people with good intent aren’t doing any significant kind of frame control;

> healthy people will avoid her like the plague

If you read her other writing you might learn that people are willing to pay significant amounts of money for her company. Maybe they aren't healthy, I dunno.

I think you improperly slotted this insightful article as "woman with victim mentality projects her trauma on everyone" instead of "highly observant person describes behavioral patterns from experience". Maybe read it again?

It only addresses a subset of the available registers. Small revisions in a function which change the number of live variables will suddenly and dramatically change the compressibility of the instructions.

Higher-level languages rely heavily on inlining to reduce their abstraction penalty. Profiles which were taken from the Linux kernel and (checks notes...) Drystone are not representative of code from higher-level languages.

3/4 of the available prefix instruction space was consumed by the 16-bit extension. There have been a couple of proposals showing that even better density could be achieved using only 1/2 the space instead of 3/4, but they were struck down in order to maintain backwards compatibility.

Wearing masks are huge deal. They are depressing as fuck and make everybody look ugly. We aren’t doing heart surgery… masks are silly rain dances.

Edit: it's really too bad the thread got killed. It's obviously ridiculous, but it's an interesting opportunity to talk about (a) electromagnetism and it's interactions with biology - tldr, basically only heating for anything non-ionizing and (b) the fact that such an obviously nutty article is indexed on NIH and therefore has some superficial legitimacy. Because of how silly the article is, and the low political value, I don't see much potential for it to lead to big arguments or boring hashing of covid politics.

Even if Google dusted off their 2005 codebase and ran it on today's web it wouldn't come close to the results quality of Google in 2005. The SEO industry has been in an arms race with the search engines for 16 years. 2005 Google would be like a goldfish in a piranha tank.
But police is total, they would love to prevent crimes before they happen if they could, and would do that at all cost. If only those pesky encryption people stop making this encryption things and we get access to all the data..we will know every crime from domestic abuse to terrorism, we would be even able to predict it, with like 97% accuracy with this 'totally not racist state of the art AI model'.

All jokes aside, of course I agree with you. Including on the police point, but things like the oxy epidemic, or the war on drugs, or the promotion of alcohol, makes me question the "protective" incentives of the state.

Softbank gets to keep a cool $1.25 billion in cash from Nvidia if the deal falls through. It's standard M&A practice and so a win-win situation for them.

You literally did.
A big reason why some people stayed on 32-bit was that 64 bit consumes more memory while providing not much useful in return when your address space doesn't exceed 4GB. In an era when you rarely had machines with this much RAM, 32 bit computing is a perfectly rational choice to maximise the amount of memory available.
Computer science is a real science and is fine. It is not however engineering. Anyway, the problems lie in the information security industry, which is amateur in comparison.
Note that with the newly-ratified B extension, RISC-V has BIC (called ANDN) as well as ORN and XNOR.

In addition to the actual ALU instructions doing the add with carry, for bignums it's important to include the load and store instructions. Even in L1 cache it's typically 2 or 3 or 4 cycles to do the load, which makes one or two extra instructions for the arithmetic less important. Once you get to bignums large enough to stream from RAM (e.g. calculating pi to a few billion digits) it's completely irrelevant.

Dear media: Stop hyping a real estate “boom” in blockchain worlds with few users
What on earth are you looking at? The default view is US weekly excess deaths for 2018 through October 2021, and uses historical estimates from 2013 to present to estimate per-week thresholds: it's most certainly NOT using a single threshold per year. Go read the methodology section, please!

You can clearly see bumps due to flu season in previous years, but because flu season happens every year since before 2013, this becomes a regular seasonal effect and don't show up as 'excess' except in late 2018. We also happen to know that flu was greatly suppressed by anti-Covid measures these last two years.
Where is the line (for the common good)? Prevent you from using indoor public spaces? Your right to not want the vaccine infringes my right to life and safety, does it not? I'm seriously curious where you draw the line.
If using windows, Ultramon works very well,

It also works well within virtual pc's and licensing is per machine so you can use it on multiple virtual pc's at the same time as the main host, so you can multiple virtual pc's running, subject to hw abilities, and it works instantly and seemlessly, also high customisable and you can do your own commands to work with things like nVidia's mosaic.

https://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/

If you have the professional line of nVidia graphics cards aka Quadro, nVidia do a command line tool for configuring a multi monitoring system upto 16 4K monitors, so you can do things like tv walls or special effects in a theme park, or just fancy desktop setups for city traders or coders.
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/design-visualization/solutions/...
https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/drivers/mosaic-utility/

I cant remember if it also does tilting like that described in this post or not, but you can certainly do a lot with mosaic run it all from shortcuts so you can instantly switch to different resolutions and layouts and the shortcuts can be used in Ultramon, for seamless operations, ie switch between 2 physical monitors and 3 monitors, all called from within ultramon. Ultramon then detects the physical monitor changes and acts accordingly.

If you are looking for a nice 3 monitor setup, I can recommended this, the Ergotron HX triple box with the HX desk mounted floating arm.
https://www.ergotron.com/en-gb/products/product-details/98-0...
https://www.ergotron.com/en-gb/products/product-details/45-4...

You can spend hours in front of one these, get perfectly comfortable without taking up your desk space as it clamps to the back of your desk, and when you have to do paperwork, you can push the monitors to the back of the desk.

However this gaming chair manufacturer has caught my eye, like this one,

And IIRC the [few] arrests that have been made were mostly white folks trying to enact their own retribution against churches on "behalf" of natives who did not ask for such revenge. In at least one case, native leaders pleaded with the public to not attack their church because it's still the hub of daily and spiritual life for many members of their community.

I'd like a way of automatically filtering for websites that :

There isn't a traffic crisis, there's a sprawl crisis. Cars are terrible, we know perfectly well how to make human habitats that don't require $8k/year 2-ton death traps.

Cities though have a problem of allowing much more surface area than people can reasonably traverse. You don't want traffic in your city? Fine, stop adding subdivisions.

We're not farmers. We benefit from other people, not from land. Stop this fantasy that everyone can have a country estate 15 minutes from the city center. It's geometrically impossible.

Nobody needs to use time "efficiently" by going 60 miles an hour. If you can't reach what you need on foot or bicycle, that is a land use problem, not a transportation problem.
Which has nothing to do with making the virus extinct.
You cannot overdraw your account because your computers clock is wrong.

You cannot overdraw your account because there is an issue with a credit card terminal around clock sync.

This simply cannot happen.

If it can, let me suggest that whoever is writing the account debit code wrap the balance check and debit in a transaction.

You can easily stick a rackmount atomic clock in your data center.

NTP can source from a variety of sources. There are digital RADIO time signals.

On a given exchange, again, you can still trade stocks. Folks forget that there used to be open outcry trading. Even without that an order book can be operated successfully without GPS.

Credit card terminals do not require clock sync with GPS links, they do not have GPS antennas in most cases. If they need precise time, they can timestamp when going through authorization steps to approve the transaction.

It's weird, as someone I guess older, the new generation seems to build such fragile system and think only such ultra complex systems are usable. Yes, things like Google's Spanner are cool. Yes, performance would degrade without GPS (maybe - I can think of some work arounds). But not everyone needs globally distributed consistent databases. You'd be surprised at how much of banking, stock exchange work does NOT depend on anything like these tools.

I wish the HN comments would focus on the many pretty obvious options one could deploy if GPS went away if you even believed that the current system means your bank account will be overdrawn because of a lack of GPS.
Admittedly, it's not a great example, but maybe it can facilitate understanding a bit?

Why do we take away the right to drive a car (free movement) from those who are intoxicated? All that banning of drunk driving does is it slightly decreases a nonzero probability of risk. The risk to be hurt by an intoxicated driver is very low, and the risk to die is even lower. If people are really concerned about street safety, and traffic is inherently dangerous as it is, they should just stay at home.
Why does ARM need to be owned by anyone? If they are profitable, then there's no need to participate in M&A except for polishing C level resumes.

> and double doses and boosters were unheard of.

Double doses and boosters are very common in standard vaccination practice. Your kids should be getting them.
In Canada, we had a longer gap between doses, which may be a factor in extending efficacy. There is also a robust booster strategy, though it does not get much attention here. Not sure how it compares, though.

Folks very quickly forget that regulations are written in blood.

You know what other kinds of regulations are onerous? Everything aviation related. Every corner of aviation. And yet we're not clamoring to deregulate aviation because the consequences are so clear and self-evident.

Regulations are generally there for a reason. If they aren't, they need to be amended, we don't need to make our own money, except for blackjack and hookers.

The IPC was discussed.

It does not matter much, because there is a sequence of dependent instructions, which cannot be executed in parallel, regardless which is the maximum IPC of a RISC-V CPU.

The opinions from those messages matter, because they belong to experts in implementing operations with large integers on a lot of different CPU architectures, with high performance proven during decades of ubiquitous use of their code. They have certainly a better track record than any RISC-V designer.
I think what seems really off is just that we've legislated a single concrete version of something instead of it's abstraction (a person capable of making good choices). It makes sense to give people a way to indicate they intend to give a person legal rights, but it doesn't make sense to imply (by the concrete choice of "marriage") that it's basically going to be a person that you're having sex with, or monogamous with, or that they're of a certain set of sexual pairings (ie heterosexual)... And before you suggest it's not about monogamy, see that in many states have laws around adultery and fault/no-fault divorce...

I should be able to extend the same set of privileges (like can make decisions for me if I am unable to) to my grandmother, or roommate, neighbor, priest, or whomever I choose. It makes little sense how we've constrained the solution w/o adding any value by those constraints. This maybe just the software engineer in me, but we've codified the concrete instead of the abstraction.

This is actually something of high importance to single people too -- something like 30-40% of households are single person and do not have a simple way to elect a person who can make legal decisions for them besides a relatively expensive and difficult power of attorney... So I see it as win:win:win to distill todays "marriage" into a legal common ground and give that right to _all_ people. Then anyone, gay or otherwise, can claim "marriage" because there will not be a legal definition (kind of like "natural" in food labelling). Christians wont be able to claim a monopoly on an undefined term.
it 's rhetoric based on false equivalence though. I vaccinated myself for purely selfish reasons, to save my ass since the vaccine was the only available preventative pharmaceutical, and at the time i did, it was already becoming clear that herd immunity was not possible. I couldnt care less if others want to save themselves nor do i think everyone should do it.
Try this, go to Google and type in "eggzackly this".

Two results not containing "eggz" at all.
Two results containing "eggzackly<punctuation>this"
Two results containing "eggzackly" but missing "this".

Google Search is broken. It no longer does what it's directed, it just takes a guess. I suspect part of this is because someone decided that "no results found" was the worst possible result a search engine could give.

Well, if "excited" and "shilling" are synonyms, then maybe! ;)

But seriously, I spent significant effort over 25 years trying to solve some of the cooperation and communications problems in distributed systems. I'd deployed a cryptocurrency before Bitcoin came out in 2009; foolishly, I downloaded the system and found it hadn't solved these problems, so didn't run it (:/)

So, when I ran into Holochain a few years back, and began to understand what they had accomplished (in theory, at the time), I dropped everything I was doing and went full time on the project. Built the first 2 prototypes of HoloFuel.

Building planetary-scale (or even inter-planetary) distributed systems that can maintain consistency in the face of partitioning or massive latency while maintaining aggregate transaction rates almost linear with node count is now possible.

So, ya -- I think these insights and their successful implementation is "profound". Like, never been done before, and everyone thought it was impossible "profound".

You may have a much higher level of expectation. To me, that would be a lot like watching Free Solo while sucking on a soda, and saying "ya, that's not that impressive".
