AFAIK it downclocks the CPU, even if the AVX512 instructions are only a tiny fraction of instructions. So you only benefit from AVX512 if you use it enough. While 128 bit SIMD give you a speedup if you use it for a few functions that need it, without slowing down the rest of your code or even unrelated applications.

Doesn't really make it any better in the end. More and more states will probably ban mining, so power will be more and more concentrated and you'll have to hope that some dictator/president is not going to pull the big internet plug.

Something can be a security and not an investment. I would consider tether a security, but not an investment.
The first version of reCAPTCHA made it very obvious as to which word was the classified one and which was the unclassified one, so people had a pretty easy way to inject bad data into the process.
It's interesting to hear you say this, as I hear similar sentiments from friends on the opposite end of the political spectrum from you - though directed at their own leaders (including Trump). It seems everyone is getting rather annoyed at the ineffectiveness of the federal government - I imagine we'll see more political flashpoints at the state level going forward.
I know you're being satirical - but to anyone doing something similar, BTC is auditable forever (hence the 'chain') and anonymity is broken when transactions go to / from a financial account. Fuzzy memory, but I recall it being limited to CIA/FBI style investigations, but like everything that trickles to local municipality in 2-5 yrs.
New Git features to Visual Studio 2022
Can you not build it using gccgo? That will support all the targets that C - or at least C-by-GCC - supports.

(I'm not saying this as a Go fanboy; having used it professionally for 3 years, I don't think I'll ever touch it again. But I don't think it's fair to say that the architecture support is bad.)
Startup idea: provide cloud backup service through Syncthing. End users install Syncthing and then add a remote host provided by your company that is bound to their account. That instance just keeps a copy of everything it receives on some cloud infrastructure. Slap a web interface and some modest data retention on it to recover files.
Intel to push into energy efficient ARM market?
That wouldn't work well. I was in Texas during 9/11 and they were firebombing all the hispanic people's cars because the locals don't really have a good eye for different ethnicities. Its pretty much black/white/terrorist and hasn't improved all that much in the time since.

Austin has grown a lot since I lived there are a lot of people from outside Texas have moved there so I'm sure the culture has changed - but when I was there going from north Austin to south Austin seemed to be this epic trip the locals would only do on a weekend -- and probably pack water and sandwiches for the drive across town. A really exotic senior trip "abroad" for students might be to Houston or Galveston. You probably met your future spouse in grade school. Not very worldly.
Some would argue (not me) that the value basis of fiat money is the same basis as the value of bitcoin. People believe that others will believe it has value, so it has value to them. Then there are arguments that bitcoin being non-inflationary should even give people more faith in the value of bitcoin than they should have in fiat.

Personally I could see bitcoin maybe getting there in a loooong time. But whilst the actual value of bitcoin is fluctuating this hard, the argument doesn't hold up. I also kinda like the argument: "Because taxes need to be payed, and are payed in fiat money, there will always be some basic demand and price for fiat money".
people don't "invest in" stable coins, but stable coins are used as a fiat equivalent on an exchange: people buy and sell into stable coins (or, more accurately, buy and sell into USDT because Tether is >90% of stable coin volume). As such, if Tether (the organisation) want to pump up the price, they can print lots of tether and use it to buy assets.
Pretty sure they could have done that with just YouTube and Twitch lol
They're not wrong though.

18% of the worldwide mining capacity of Bitcoin is in Kazakhstan, plenty of other sources without spelling mistakes, such as CNN [1] have cited this.

All but one of those articles is from well after 2012 (2019 and 2021). And the earliest one you linked is from 2014, from after the point even when Crimea was annexed. So your sources don't jive with your statement.

Maybe, China bans a lot of things. I don't really consider that evidence (in either direction) that it will be banned elsewhere.
It is a part of real life, but in some of these movies it’s so transparent that the plot was forced into an original “space adventure” movie.

It almost becomes a distraction to the overall plot, versus something like Starwars where the good versus evil is non-specific enough it has universal appeal.

> Oversimplifying this, you could say that a democracy acts according the average intelligence of the society, whereas a dictatorship acts according to the intelligence of the leader

The problem with dictatorships is the dictator. Dictators are typically Cluster B personalities: narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths. Dictatorships don’t revolve around the intelligence of the dictator, but around their ego. Dictators aren’t interested in doing what’s right for society, they are interested in doing what’s right for themselves. This is why they are so dangerous, because those two goals are often at odds.

For this reason, the dictator surrounds himself with toadies, lickspittles, sycophants, and generally other cluster B personalities who want to be a proxy for the dictator. This results in rampant government corruption and incompetence, as people end up in jobs for which they are not qualified, but which they earned through loyalty to the dictator.

So if you want to map a dictatorship’s intelligence I would say they converge to the intelligence of the worst, most power-hungry, morally and ethically bankrupt people in society.

It's not entirely a US based fiction. In some areas the question was between choosing a western US led order or the USSR based one. Not everywhere, of course.

US is of course a selfish actor. But it's not black and white, and while US has never been "the good guy" they are still a stabilizing force that for most parts promotes rule based order. Yes, they assault sovereign states and all that, I'm not disagreeing US has pathologies to bear.

But in some regions it's influence benefits the local population (even though the goal is not directly to help anyone but to promote a specific selfish policy).

On the Eurasian theater Russia is not a neglible actor. Given it is being lead by a mafia more or less, in regional matters Russia is still a looming threat (ahem, Ukraine, ahem).

As a citizen of country which shares a very long land border with Russia (Finland), and given the realpolitik fact small nations are at the mercy of larger powers, I much prefer a situation where US can politically and financially influence events in my local vicinity to a one where Russia would be the larger presence.

If I was for example Vietnamese I might hold quite different views. Or if I lived in an area that was a theater of conflict for drone strikes and my family suddenly died as collateral damage.
They also do cats. Honestly I think boats abs busses are just harder problems. A lot of the boats can only be identified because there is water in the photo or some other hint that it’s a boat. A lot of the trains look like busses and got need contextual clues to tell them apart.
> UNIX never had anything like AmigaDOS and the way it was extensible via dyanmic libraries for file formats

That's true, but all that could have been added to Coherent. I'm stressing Coherent here because it was the cheapest Unix clone available back then.

> All the UNIX ports, including the follow up AMIX, were a shadow of the multimedia capabilities of AmigaOS.

That's a hardware enablement issue. The biggest drawback of Coherent (and most Unixes back then) was that it couldn't run from a floppy, so, the minimum viable Amiga would need a hard disk. It could be possible to slim it down, however, or, maybe, just adding a POSIX compatibility layer on top of the AmigaDOS base would suffice. My point is that, if Amiga users had an easier path towards Unixes or if universities got lots of Amigas instead of far fewer Unix workstations (for the same money), we'd have a somewhat different world right now.

What happened to Intel being a terrible place to work and having lost all the good engineers?
And metadata.
wouldn't it do so exponentially?

The first time it does it once, the second time the statement is there twice so it does it twice, then 4, 8, 16, etc. ?
I mean, actually, mostly yes. I've usually been the last stop for technical help since school. There hasn't been anyone I can go to, so I've had to figure everything out on my own. I guess I'm wanting to work with senior peers more so than constantly dealing with juniors who seem to get lazy because they know I can solve their problems for them, often trivially.
What proof and insight did this article give you? As far as I can tell, the movie this article is referring to hasn't come out yet.

> "Wilcox spent eight years working at Apple, and as of this week, he is the Design Engineering Group CTO at Intel. Wilcox says that he will be responsible for the architecture of all SoCs for all Intel client segments. Prior to working for Apple, Wilcox was at Intel where he served as a principal engineer on PC chipsets, and prior to that, he worked at Magnum Semiconductor and Nvidia."

This seems like a meaningful (re-)hire for Intel. They're obviously weak in SoCs. The Atom was an expensive flop, AFAICT.

Sadly, Debian's `sudo dpkg --reconfigure console_setup` doesn't offer it as an option. I think Oracle's Linux does, IIRC.

I know it's an unpopular view. :-)

But the alternatives are there.

The fast-headers thing put me in mind of the way that Plan 9 changed the C language, not only formalising indentation and things, but to forbid nested #includes, which apparently vastly reduced compilation times.

Inferno moved on to largely supplant C with Limbo, which is one of the ancestors of Go. I'd say Go, D and Rust all show that there's demand for a newer, better C and that C++ is not it.

Apple's xnu is widely held not to be a true microkernel because of its big in-kernel Unix server, but Minix 3 is... and for all that Minix 3 is not quite there yet, QNX shows this is possible and doable and performant.

It's 2022. We have boxes with terabytes of RAM now and hardware-assisted virtualisation even on £5 ARM boards. We don't need a total clean-sweep replacement; we can virtualise the old stuff and slot in underneath something smaller, simpler and cleaner that mere mortals can understand in less than a lifetime.

3D Xpoint memory is on the market now and makes non-volatile RAM doable, multiple orders of magnitude faster and longer-lasting than flash memory. Computers don't even need drives any more: we could just have a few terabytes of persistent memory, and no more shuffling stuff into memory. True single-level store is doable now. Who needs files when everything is in RAM forever?

ISTM that much of the computer industry has its eyes on the ground now, and is just shuffling round and round in the same old groove, rather than trying new stuff. In the middle of my working life there were dozens of exciting new OSes trying to do things differently. Now, we have 30 million lines of C instead, and need a billion-dollar industry to aim all those many eyes at all those many bugs.

As Molnár himself said:
“Don't forget that Linux became only possible because 20 years of OS research was carefully studied, analyzed, discussed and thrown away."

I mean nuclear isn’t renewable but neither is the sun and thus solar, wind, and hydroelectric power on a long enough time horizon. The reality is that there is enough nuclear fuel in the oceans alone to provide for thousands of years of clean energy. And after that plenty of nuclear fuel on the moon and other planets to keep us going.

It seems they just don't understand time signatures.

Andy Williams "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" is listed as 202 bpm. In some sense, this is correct. The song is in 6/8 time and if you count each of the six beats separately, there are 202 bpm, but this isn't how 6/8 works. Typically you would set the bpm based on a dotted quarter (= 3/8ths) instead of a quarter.

From a listener's perspective, 6/8 basically just means each beat is divided into 3 parts instead of 2. So in a "normal" 4/4 song, you'll hear a down-up, down-up repetition like KICK-up-SNARE-up-KICK-up-SNARE-up, with kick drums on downbeats of 1 and 3 and snare on downbeats of 2 and 4 with one upbeat after each. With 6/8, you'll hear KICK-up-up-SNARE-up-up basically.

(Note that this is distinct from 3/4 [waltz], where you'll hear KICK-up-SNARE-up-SNARE-up, but 3/4 is exceeding rare in popular modern music.)
It can function at any price. There is no price too low.

The only extreme possibility would be a temporary denial of service if hashrate dropped too quickly, causing blocks to come extremely slowly until the network adjusted to match the current hashrate, resetting block time back to the target.

In such an extreme scenario, this could effectively pause commerce for months if nobody helped bring the hashrate back up until the adjustment.

There are many mitigations possible:

1. The remaining miners have newfound control of the network so could push in a difficulty adjustment algorithm change to something more modern and adaptive, restoring service immediately. This has been done on so many other smaller networks that it isnt experimental.

2. The remaining miners could do other things too like a one time sooner difficulty adjustment

There are a few networks experiencing this right now and addressing it in different ways. There are always a few real money cryptocurrency networks going through these growing pains so we can see all theoretical experiments happen extremely fast.

I’d like to add that we did wait about a year for the vaccines. That was the treatment that was “good enough” for life to return to normal for me. I don’t need to wait 5 more years. That treatment relieved ~85% of the original risk for me.
Those workstations still had custom MMUs, and the 68K had most of the signals to work with an MMU. The issue was instruction recovery on exception, particularly page fault.

With an instruction like move (a2)+, (a3) the processor first loads the value from memory at the address in a2, increments a2, then goes to store it at the address in a3. If a3 holds an invalid address, the processor faults halfway through the instruction. The problem is the 68000 doesn't store enough state anywhere to tell you how to rollback and attempt the whole instruction again. (Was a2 incremented already or not?)

The dual 68K approach would keep the whole instruction pending on the other processor, in case it needed to be restarted, after resolving the page fault. And it was still possible to implement classic base-and-bounds swapping with a single 68K.
Hybernation.
Any examples in your Japanese case?

I would have thought the main performance bottle neck to social calibration would be the unspoken mind-reading requirement that seems to be prevalent in American society.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but from what I know of Japanese society is that it's pretty blunt in its expectations. So there isn't this "mental searching tax" to make the "right" social choice that seems to be de riguer in the States. Everyday behavior in Japanese society has explicit procedures that don't change all that much.

As I understand it, social failure in Japan is result of one of two things:
The inability/lack of interest to follow these procedures (e.g. hikikomori, non-conformists, etc.), or following these procedures but with mistaken assumptions as to how the consequences would turn out (e.g. "herbivore" salarymen who have done everything right, but are unable to find wives like their fathers could)
> "Honest" is one way of putting it. "Far right libertarian" is another.

In many ways, giving a public service without taking the wealth of others and giving up you assigned salary for the task could be seen as more socialist than what mamy socialists claim. That is why, as of today, I have respect for Milei: he tries to promote what he believes starting on not making the rest pay the bill.

Things can change, sure. And politics can change people. I can change my mind. I talk about now and today. Respect for Mr. Milei. If there was a person like Milei in Spain, and not necessarily a libertarian, I would probably vote again. Now I simply cannot.
A lot of terrible places to work are not terrible for the most wanted staff.
The network won't fail but the price will fluctuate. BTC was always intended to be an alternate currency, not an investment asset so now it's suffering from competing agendas.
It worked for one SKU at launch and by disabling up to 50% of the cores of the others. Calling that a working feature is a bit of a stretch already.
It actually has this in a more powerful form: you'd use /^./ or /.$/ of course, and if you want more explicit writing, you can use Regexp::English that provides the kind of functions you like (see https://metacpan.org/pod/Regexp::English ).

The thing is that all of these functions are completely superfluous, because a Perlist will use regexp which are much more compact and allow writing in a nice, functional way (map and grep FTW). In fact, in most languages, manipulation of strings is so cumbersome that I go back to Perl almost every time, because a regexp is almost always the most compact, fast and readable solution.

Also frankly I never heard of anyone trying to parse XML or HTML with regexps this century for anything but a quick throwaway one-liner, so the example is actually quite poor.
Yeah, Bitcoin does have some practical use (to support criminal operations, etc) so the final value is probably not $0.

It's interesting how many discovery practices rely on asking another person. That has got me thinking about the process of inquiry / learning. Another facet I guess is using some combination of tools, but developing a "method", similar to an experiment, where I have a goal/hypothesis/measurement and test some input against its output, see how close it brought me to the goal, assign some kind of value, then iterate until I've developed a kind of manual/automatic algorithm that can be applied.

I also think the idea of 2D and 3D virtual spatial positioning of links/abstracts is an interesting idea, but I can't recall anywhere I've found that done in a way I was impressed by.
