Republicans should be in favor in theory because of property rights and the free market/consumer demand, but in practice they’re opposed to density for lifestyle reasons: they really like car-only lifestyles, and they’re not above using the government to force their neighbors to go along with it. They talk a lot about free market principles, but just like with Facebook or Twitter, the instant it goes against their interests, suddenly their principles are nowhere to be seen.

Democrats aren’t as outright averse to density, and in theory should be for more housing because it would massively help the working class, but in practice they’re only okay with pre-existing density, because new density means redeveloping areas that probably already have people there, which means displacement. Plus, they hate the fact that new housing is more expensive than old housing, so every time a new development goes up you get a bunch of people yelling about “luxury condos”.
Court Dumps Texas's Social Media Moderation Law as Clearly Unconstitutional
On 1: The discrepancy in percentages is usually the difference between "Entire Population Vaccinated" and "Eligible Population Vaccinated." Which, until very recently, was only people 12 and older.

Given the exceptionally low incidence of death in the 12 and under group, it's debatable which figure should be given prominence.

On 2 and 3: The case rate is spiking significantly higher than it has ever before, and the death rate is on an upward trend. It is typically delayed behind the case rate, so we can't be certain that this will be as bad as it gets. It's still very possible for this wave to be more deadly than prior waves, even though the Case:Death rate is lower.

Instead of showing 2 & 3 separately, perhaps the combined chart [1] is a better visualization.

After my experience 3 years ago, I will never use them again. I priced out an instance that estimated around $30/month via their calculator. Instance is indeed around $30 for the first 2 months, then I get a $200 bill. I don't know what the hell happened, but it was over 6x what I had budgeted. I tried to get someone to review my account, but I didn't get a response and just had to suck it up. I paid the $200 and moved on. Never again, I'll use Linode or something else instead.

I clearly did something wrong, but the process was so confusing that I couldn't tell you what it was. It probably had to do with running the server at sub-optimal times when rates were higher, but I don't remember reading anything about that. It was a Windows-based game server, so the extra cpu overhead might have had something to do with it.
They are definitely running troll farms. How else do you explain that the exact base where this research is taking place was, at the time, the place in the US with the highest concentration of Reddit posts?

Also, the research isn't on how to detect troll farms. It's on how to optimize running your own.

It's pretty damn obvious. If you saw from China that their leading social media manipulation research center had unusually high traffic to Facebook, would you conclude that it's a leap of faith? Of course not.
So (i) the research on RISC-V that shows it has dense code is bunk, and (ii) the fact that it compiles to a smaller binary is irrelevant, and (iii) it sounds like you're saying in advance that it might also have smaller code section sizes within the binary but that's irrelevant too.

And yet you're quite confident that RISC-V has poor code density. So you clearly have a source of knowledge that others don't. If it's a blog/article/research, could you share a link? If it's personal experimentation, you should write a blog post, I would totally read that.

Intrepid Women, Inc. is proud to create the bibti app a peer-to-peer walking application for women to help them navigate public spaces more safely and comfortably.

What makes us different? While there are other safety apps on the market, they mainly employ surveillance technology (location sharing) or connections to emergency services (like SOS buttons). These features are valuable but do not do anything to protect female travelers in real time. We are committed to creating a proactive solution to protect women by scaling strategies that they already use: walking with another person.

Experimenting with RISC-V is one of those things I keep postponing.

For those are more versed, is this really a general problem?

I was under the impression that the real bottleneck is memory, and things like this would be fixed in real applications through out of order execution, and that it payed off having simpler instructions because compilers had more freedom to rearrange things.

It’s ridiculous that a company as profitable as Apple runs their support and retail operations with such an inhumane expectation of efficiency that employees have to often handle three simultaneous chats and bathroom breaks over five minutes merit chastisement from managers.

I believe it is possible to have a computing fabric that is so simple there isn't anywhere to hide bugs in it, yet extremely performant. The downside is it wastes transistors, and isn't a Von-Neuman architecture at all. It's a grid of 4 in, 4 out look up tables (that's 64 bits of state each), each exchanging 1 bit with its cartesian neighbors, clocked in alternate phases like a chess board to prevent all race conditions. It's Turing complete, can route around bad cells, and you could securely partition a program to run in part of it, but not all.

The fact is, nobody knows whether 5G towers will cause cancer: not the people specifying them, not the people putting them up, nor any of the people complaining about them.

For 2.4 and 5 GHz, the experiment has now been performed on the general public, and the answer (with very large N but low confidence) appears to be "no". But that result does not extend to 20GHz 5G with its different modulation scheme.

Evolution is wholly silent on the topic: 20GHz radiation, like 2.4 and 5, never occurs in nature. No long-term, periodically varying or modulated E-M field is found, short of light waves. Life can have evolved no defense.

Something else that does not occur in nature is exposure to the very large amount of dietary fructose (without accompanying fiber) seen in the food supply in the US and in the UK and its (other) former colonies. In that case, the result is very clear: we are dropping like flies, in the worst public-health debacle since cats were exterminated to curb the Black Plague.

Anyone wary of vaccines or 5G but not exercised over sugar demonstrates wholly political motivation.
Then you're listening to the wrong people. The world's currencies are being weaponized against other countries and against citizens. It's a project decades in the making. You may not feel part of that yet, but if you express any opinion in public you may.

Centralization of money is "evil" because it sooner or later you're going to find yourself on the list of undesirables. When you do, centralization (and the technology that goes with it) makes it as easy as flicking a switch to economically banish you.
Can you back that up? Reducing infection reduces spread, often to the point where the disease dies out.
> and it actually makes high-performance implementations (wide superscalar) more difficult thanks to the variable width decoding.

More difficult than x86? We're talking about a damn simple variable width decoding here.

I could imagine RISC-V with C extension being more tricky than 64-bit ARM. Maybe.

> and again it complicates a high performance implementation.

But so much of the rationale behind the design of RISC-V is to simplify high performance implementation in other ways. So the big question is what the net effect is.

The other big question is if extensions will be added to optimise for desktop/server workloads by the time RISC-V CPUs penetrate that market significantly.

> the control system itself, inevitably, goes awry

This seems to be the case with any control system, whether centralized or not. The difference is in the failure mode. Decentralized systems start failing earlier, but do so in a more gradual way. Centralized ones fail later, but much more abruptly and all-at-once. So it's really the question of which one you prefer.

Personally, I still believe that decentralized approach is preferable in that regard. Centralization gives the illusion that everything is a-okay (because things work!) even when the crash is already inevitable and in motion; then when it actually happens, it's a massive disruption all around. OTOH when bits and pieces start falling off in a decentralized system, it's readily obvious that a fix is needed, but there's still plenty of time to design and implement it; and, furthermore, since most of the system is still intact, it doesn't need to be recovered.

The other advantage of decentralization is that it's more politically viable to fix things in a more localized way. Fixes to centralized systems necessarily have to be centralized themselves, but that also means that you need a lot of buy-in from everybody affected to enact them. In areas where consensus is not established, this often means that problems in centralized systems don't get fixed at all, either because many people don't believe the issue at hand to be problematic, or because they can't agree on what the root cause it. In a decentralized system, local consensus is all that is needed to fix (or at least mitigate) an issue locally.

Some argue that this latter part is actually a deficiency because people end up fixing their own localized problems, instead of coming up with a single centralized solution that fixes it once and for all. But this assumes that such a single centralized solution always (or at least usually) exists and its implementation is viable - which is not at all obvious to me.
Instruction fusion is a possibility for the future, which has been discussed academically, but no one implements it at present. I'm not sure anyone will -- it's too much complexity for simple cores, and not needed for big OoO cores.

The one fusion implementation I'm aware of if the SiFive 7-series combining a conditional branch that jumps forward over exactly one instruction. It turns the instruction pair into predicated execution.

I agree with everything else. In particular the code density. Anyone can download Ubuntu or Fedora images for the same release for amd64, arm64, and riscv64. Mount them and run "size" on any selection of binaries you want. The RISC-V ones are consistently and significantly smaller than the other two, with arm64 the biggest.
send families 1 test per week so they can stop the spread quicker

This is a great idea, and I'm really curious why we don't have something like this, just mail a free mask and a free test to every address once a week, with a form to request more for larger households, or to request that they stop.

Disliking FB/Meta ≠ FB/Meta being irrelevant. There are billions of users left to come online and odds are that Meta products will be amongst the first they use.

Is it? Nvidia gave plenty of good examples of what it has been able to accomplish with ARM tech in their previous keynotes. If anything, I've come around from thinking this was simply a power play on Nvidia's part, to seeing this merger as a win-win-win for Nvidia, the ARM ISA, and ISA competition as a whole.
It's surprising the US gov would take action to stop this. One one hand yes, this isn't great for the industry. But on the other it would mean that ARM will become an American owned company which gives the US government enormous new tech war leverage against China.
Here’s an exercise to think about if we’re living in the best or the worst of times: pick a year to be born in. But you can’t choose where, not the conditions: assume a typical human life at that point in time, considering the whole world.
