I very much appreciate the corrections, particularly from someone who knows the architecture so much better than I do. Most days I regret commenting on HN, but today is not one of those days.

To clarify, by "16-bit integer code" I meant code that doesn't use floating-point, in which most of the arithmetic is done on 16-bit values, not code for a 16-bit integer machine like the 8086 or code consisting entirely of 16-bit arithmetic operations. My reason for picking 16-bit was that most of my integers fit into 16 bits, but often not 8 bits. Usually arithmetic that needs more than 16 bits of precision is address arithmetic, and on the 6502 (or 6510) that's often handled by the 8-bit X and Y registers. Even multiplies are much less common than addition, which in turn is less common than MOV. And of course jumps, calls, returns, and 8-bit-index loops (inx; bne :-) suffer comparatively less slowdown than the actual 16-bit operations in the 16-bit integer code, and they usually constitute the majority of it.

I agree that cryptographic algorithms routinely do very wide arithmetic. They want as many ALU bits as they can get their little anarchist hands on. But I think they are atypical in this.

When I look at the applications running on the computers sitting around me, most of the things they're doing seem like they would fit well into the 16-bit integer arithmetic bucket, so I don't think it's contrived. The way they're doing those things (in JS, with JIT compilers, using floating point, dynamic typing, and garbage collection) is tailored to the bigger machines we usually use, but the applications (text editing, spreadsheets, networking, arguing with strangers who know more than I do, text layout, font rendering, previously futures trading) are not. The big exceptions here are 3-D graphics and video codecs, which want ALUs as wide as possible, just like crypto algorithms.
I don't see why Tesla can't do both. Production Autopilot is easily the most advanced ADAS on the market right now, why not add an L3 "mode" with the same limits (traffic jams only) and liability guarantees as Daimler?

There is very little reason for anyone in that building dying! So sad!
Right. I get what you're saying, and I think there's probably some validity to the idea that increasing demand drives innovation and (eventually) a reduced unit cost.

Ultimately, though, the goal from a climate change perspective isn't "lower unit cost" or "energy innovation" per se; it's "reduced GHG emissions."

If Bitcoin mining were, say, +50% net demand, I could buy the argument that it will lead to innovations in supply. But it's more like +0.5% demand, so it seems much more likely that it's just driving up prices a small amount, keeping some production sources alive which would otherwise not be. And in at least some cases, those sources are going to be high carbon impact.
Get an attorney and push back.

But to calm down, read about "stop and go" in Pittsburgh in the 90s. There was a store called that about an hour's drive outside the city. Then a gas station convenience chain merger tried to take on that name for 150 stores. About two years later the original store found out and said no. The 150 store behemoth tried to sue.

The 150 stores are now called CoGo's.
> Why should supply go down for this particular field?

Because it's too high, enabling employers to offer poor working conditions. The poor working conditions then drive away prospective employees, lowering supply until working conditions improve.

Unless you for some reason volunteer to suffer the poor working conditions unnecessarily.

> Just make more games then demand will go up?

Making more games doesn't cause demand for games to go up. It causes the price of games to go down. Then each game maker has less to pay workers with.

What you need is for the industry to make fewer games, so they cost more (or at least have higher sales volumes at the same price), allowing workers to be paid more. But fewer games means fewer employees and some of them have to go do something else.

> Would you quit your beloved job to improve other peoples working conditions?

You can't have it both ways. Either your working conditions are bad, in which case quit, or your working conditions are "beloved," in which case what are you complaining about?

I got a semi-serious traffic ticket in Colorado in 2014, but I lived in California. I forgot about the ticket, and remembered a couple years later. I wanted to clear up the situation, but navigating the court system from a different state was challenging. I decided hiring an attorney local to the area would be easier than traveling to Colorado.

I called maybe 6 to 8 attorneys, and they fell into three categories: too expensive, too inexperienced, or just right.

Too expensive sounded like “we’ll need a $2000 retainer to even look at your case.”

Too inexperienced sounded like “I just graduated from law school, and I’ll give you a super good rate for the experience of working on your case.”

Just right sounded like “I know the district attorney who is overseeing your case. Their name is $NAME, and here’s exactly how I’m going to handle your case… <time passes> …I might be able to handle this for $500, but it could cost maybe double that if it’s more work than expected.”

I got the matter resolved for between 1X and 2X the minimum estimate, and was happy with the results.
He takes Adderall my dude. I'm a developer and I use absolutely no cognitive enhancers. If I took Adderall I would be able to code for 20 hours straight. I took a small dose back in college and that stuff is insanely good for long hours at anything.

Also, I'm speculating here, but I think he is on Testosterone Replacement Therapy, which also has insane energy, mood and cognitive enhancements.

Lastly he takes a ton of stimulants.

I don't for a moment think he's working purely off "natural" energy.
This is not legal advice, but I don't recommend waiting until a suit is filed. Hiring counsel early and figuring out how to respond to the initial notice can be important: it might keep the courts out of the dispute altogether (especially if the other side is on very weak grounds) and might increase the settlement amount (if any) should OP choose to settle and transfer the domain.

There's more to this issue than just the naked law and legal procedure. Context matters, and experienced lawyers help you navigate situations. They're called "counsel" for a reason. :-)
You should also join Google as an IC. Sounds like you would be much happier.
> I feel at some point big machine learning networks will interact with humans so much through Twitter and other networks that eventually they will learn how to sway and manipulate people.

It has already happened.
I actually believe that a small percentage of people want to climb the hierarchy. Based on books I've read, finding meaning in their work, either locally (how it helps the company) or globally (how does my work serve human welfare), is far more important for most people.

It's sad that our society is organized so that people who find meaningful work are stiffed by our society (teacher salaries, for example).

Seeking power is probably a miswant anyways. I think what many people desire is the social stability that it presents, something that is probably more easily achieved via volunteer work.

I think the desire for power is manufactured.
Well yes, it is FUD, fear uncertainty and doubt. The title here, meanwhile, is entirely factual. I flagged this post because you went from a pure projection of yours to "misleading clickbait trying to manufacture outrage".

> Is it correct that your use of the domain name violates their trademark? Also, maybe

No. As an issue of black letter law, if they can demonstrate that they were using it before the issuance, it does not violate trademark, by design.

Glad it worked out for you, but it's a bad idea to extrapolate that to broader advice. Maybe you got lucky. Maybe it wasn't luck and you have some kind of gift for assessing case trajectory. But in either case, most people aren't going to be able to predict a case outcome better than experienced attorneys.

Or, alternatively, just don't work for companies that treat their employees like shit.

There are plenty of game dev companies where employees are treated well (I work for one of them) but "game company treats employees like human beings" is not an interesting enough headline, so you don't tend to hear about it.

But in spite of working for a really good studio right now, I recognize that many people are not (I've also worked with ones that were middling at best), and unionization is a great step towards getting better conditions, especially for artists and content people. Engineers tend to get the best treatment since toxic management know they are more expensive, harder to replace and have more opportunities across a variety of industries. Conversely, if you are a 3d artist (just as an example), there are only so many places you can work, and unfortunately you are often considered more disposable.
> When corporations sponsor the maintenance of the FOSS projects they use, they are effectively buying an insurance policy that guarantees a prompt, well-coordinated response to security problems.

I wonder whether this could be formalised more. Maybe an organisation where a contractual obligation for support and fixing of security-bugs can be established, with full-time coders spanning multiple projects so that the manpower is there if needed.

> My lawyer said, essentially, "you are in the right, but you aren't planning on using those rights anyway, so just sign the paper and get this over with."

There are situations where this is very good legal advice. Collecting things you are owed from people who don't want to give them up takes time and money (and involves risk), and even when it nominally works the systems intended to make you whole for the additional costs don't always, and especially often don't value time (both delay and the consumption of your personal time) as much as you do.

A lawyer's job isn't just to advise you on what the law says you are entitled to, but more critically to do so on the course of action that will best achieve your interests given the pragmatics of the legal system.
The company I work for has too many managers with insufficient technical knowledge. that means witnessing the absurd battles of egos. I don't want to be one of them. Management and technical architecture are very different concepts, but people don't understand that. I find that making someone with insufficient technical knowledge a manager often makes that person a bad manager.

Tornados can be predicted in broad terms but are highly variable on the ground.

Weather forecasts can usually identify that the conditions favorable for tornados are happening. That is announced as a Tornado Watch. If someone sees a tornado, they will issue a Tornado Warning, usually for the whole county. They will sound sirens if available. People are urged to take shelter, ideally underground. Otherwise they are told to shelter in the most substantial part of a building. Many people do take shelter but others decide to tough it out.

Tornados are relatively small compared to hurricanes and earthquakes but they are very intense within a few hundred foot wide area where they tear everything apart and blow it around with 300mph winds doing more destruction with that debris. They move in erratic directions and can pickup and hop around. There can be multiple tornados at one time.

Any one person is not a great risk of harm but anyone in the path of the tornado is at great risk. People living in the area have been through tornado warnings before without harm. This can lead to people assuming that they will be fine and not taking precautions. Chances are they are right but if they are wrong… it goes very wrong.

When you hear a tornado warning, the advice is to shelter in place in the most structurally sound part of the building. Given that half of the building collapsed, there may not have been a safe place. Running away from tornadoes is not recommended, and you can't evacuate in advance of a storm because the region that tornados may hit is too large. Do you think there was a problem with how the building was built?

Things like, "How do you feel about stretching your skills in the work force?" "What do you do when you make a mistake at work?" "How do you handle a situation where you feel out of your depth?" Etc.?

>5% of the time, there are internet jitters that make this not feasible and I rsync the directory and continue working locally. Sometimes after this I'll end up working again in the repo on the server and so end up with two directories that started at a common point but have diverged.

This is not the way to do it. Ideally, you'd git push whatever branch you're working on on the remote server, then git pull on your local workstation. Not rsync. This is a workflow problem, not a tool problem. I knew someone who would copy files from a repo to a temporary directory and work there. That is just not the way to do it.

>Ideally I want to do a kind of 'rsync merge'

I think you want to use git correctly at first and see if the limitations still persist (they won't, they almost never do).

>I don't want to temporarily create separate parent git repos since the directories themselves already are git repos and that sounds like a confusing recipe for disaster.

>Is there any kind of standalone 'git merge'-esque tooling for independent directory trees?

The above is the recipe for disaster. Please consider giving `git` a shot. I work from a location with internet bandwidths at the kbps levels (not kilobytes, kilobits) levels, power outages, and telcos randomly assigning you phone numbers of other people. This is one reason that drove us to create our machine learning (ML) platform in the first place (because we needed to launch ML training jobs that consumed data of data and we simply could not be downloading and we considered at some point having someone fly with a disk with 60 GB of data - not terabyte, just gigabytes, to tell you how much it sucked-). We also had users with 5 kbps (again, five kilobits per second, not five kilobytes per second) connections so I'm more intimately familiar with this issue than I'd ever want to be.

Mathematical notation is invented but what about the patterns it describes? Did someone invent the notion of exponential growth or decay? Or did we discover this mathematical pattern in many different areas of study?

These objects are either abstractions from nature (such as natural numbers or "a line"), or (in modern mathematics) abstract entities that are defined by their basic properties, called axioms." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics
