The solution has been obvious for a long time – politicians must campaign with a fixed budget and no outside special interest financing.
AMD was aiming for that when AM4/Zen was announced, knowing that this was a major pain point for enthusiasts and builders/"upgraders".

This would have been my main reason to build an AMD system, although I was easy to win, I always built AMD systems IIRC... And I ended up postponing it again and again, since I don't game and the reasonable (budget) options were always lagging behind regarding technology/efficiency - most of all, my Phenom (actually a rebranded Athlon with 2/6 cores disabled) was still doing OK. Now there will be AM5... Didn't follow the news, is it supposed to live as long as AM4?

Would it even pay off for AMD to repeat that effort?
> look at the other UN member countries not signatories to the Rome Statute subject to the ICC: China, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Qatar, and Yemen

That's far from a complete list. There are 193 UN members[1]; only 123 have made themselves subject to the ICC[2].

I do wonder if the days of dimms and long lived sockets of AM4 is over. AM4 maxes out at DDR4-3200 x 128 bit = 50GB/sec and more importantly just 2 pending cache misses. A bit more with overclocking, but not much.

Apple M1 = 128 bit x LPDDR4X-4266 = 68GB/sec and I believe 8 memory channels (8 pending cache misses). A modest core count (4 fast + 4 slow) helps keep the memory bandwidth from being a bottleneck.

The M1 pro doubles this to 256 bits, 16 channels, and 200GB/sec, which is a significant help for the integrated GPU and hits levels that AMD APUs can not match.

M1 max doubles again to 512 bits, 32 channels and 400GB/sec.

M1 ultra doubles again to 1024 bits, 64 channels, and 800GB/sec.

Not sure AMD can really compete and the APUs are severely limited by memory bandwidth, unless you buy a PS5 of XboxX. I'm hoping that AMD takes a page from the Apple playbook and ships a consumer CPU with dramatically more bandwidth and allows users to skip the current curse of discrete GPUs that run hot, are not available at MSRP, and are hard to get even at 2x MSRP.
"On time" is obviously whatever time somebody has to go to bed to get enough sleep and get up in time for their schedule.

People don't like going to bed on time because they don't like discipline.

So instead of learning some, like their parents should have taught them, they complain and demand the schedule move because it's "too hard".

When I started working I had to be there at 7 AM every day no matter what so I got disciplined and grew up.

Today's new hires want to come in late all the time and complain that they can't get enough sleep when they should be going to bed earlier instead of going out drinking on a weekday or staying up playing fort nite or whatever.
> AMD isn't doing this to help customers, but to hurt intel

Seems correct. ASRock already allowed 5000 series CPUs on their X370/B350/A320 motherboards with a beta BIOS released in 2020[1]. AMD told them to stop[2]. That beta BIOS was never officially released.

Maybe the legislators will make things even more confusing by defining daylight time as "standard time"! (Because it will be the, well, standard time.)
That's interesting too. I can definitely see that from personal observances, but what is driving it?
True but hopefully this would be "the last time" in the US for this sort of thing.
Because it is such an important function, and because light disrupts sleep, it is important to sleep mostly in the dark. If it gets light naturally in time to wake you up when you need to, great. If it gets light earlier, not great.

You can achieve a moral high ground based on your actions. And that's the only way to do it, in fact. But that clearly has nothing to do with this post since it is about example No. 19281 of the CIA doing some heinous shit.

And what's the apparent takeaway from that? That Western Civ might lose its moral high ground. But what about example No. 19280 of the CIA doing some henious shit? What about No. 19279? ...

Whence this alleged moral high ground?
Farmers used to care, when they made broad use of their spawn to assist with harvests and chores. If the spawn gets out of school an hour earlier, that's an hour more labor they can do before the sun sets.

I don't know about specific regions, but forests worldwide are doing fine. In 1990, the world had 4.13 billion hectares of forest. In 2017 that number was 4 billion hectares.[1] That's not bad considering world population increased 40% in that time.

> Still without proper sum types polymorphic and type-safe message queues are not possible.

This isn't really true.

You can define a channel where the message type is an interface, and then you can use a type switch on the receiving side to downcast that interface to various concrete message types.

What you can't do without sum types is ensure that you don't need a "catch-all" branch for if/when a value is sent down the channel that isn't one of the concrete message types you expect, but it will still be type safe and polymorphic.
Shouldn't that be "daylight saving's time"? As in "the time of daylight saving".

Very nice. After a quick skimming of the wiki's contents, I really like the contents and step-by-by approach of all the materials shared.

Does anyone here know of something of similar good-quality OpenGL resources[1] for mathematical/scientific visualization[2]. Currently, I've started going through the source codes and documentation of manim-web[3] and CindyJs[4] to learn the basics; however, I would love to learn the fundamentals and be able to write my own visualization library (or confidently be able to extend an existing one) if/when needed. Thanks in advance.

Linode included affiliate program links for authors, that's not comparable to paying cash. I can't speak to whether DO did copy article contents (though I remember the rumours at the time and don't doubt it) but there is a meaningful gap between asking people to contribute vs. paying for the content, and that's why DigitalOcean achieved so much with their library despite launching later: people actually wanted to write for DigitalOcean.

I was a Linode customer at the time the library launched, I was a Linode customer when DigitalOcean launched, and I was a Linode customer years after DigitalOcean launched: Linode was the best VPS provider of the time, undoubtably, and influential for those that followed (including DigitalOcean) but DigitalOcean was much more than a VPS provider and they pushed the industry forward in ways that Linode never even tried. Diminishing what they achieved as being "Linode but with money" is nonsense.

What you remember and what is true aren't one and the same, as is evidenced by the Linode blog showing payments began for articles in 2014.

Amazon likes to threaten to leave, as do other wealthy companies (e.g., Uber and Lyft in California, sports franchises). It's a brazen assertion that they are above the democratic process and other people's votes, and IMHO should get an appropriate response.

Those at the other side of the negotiating table should remember that they have a lot to offer, and that the company needs them too. Also, there can be no question of whether someone or some organization is above democracy.
Gabe Brown refers to the sugars plants offer to fungi as 'liquid carbon'. Ingham calls them 'soil exudates', which is technically more accurate but I think both get the point across.

We can definitely use soil recarbonization as an air brake (pun not intended) for atmospheric carbon increases, but at the end of the day we enjoy an environment that was created by trees running unchecked for millions of years depositing carbon dioxide in the ground, before other fungi learned to eat lignin and slowed the process down.

When you're trying to change habits you need something to do, instead of a list of things not to do, and planting trees and learning how to make them happy are certainly things we can do.

Leidenfrost Dusting as a Novel Tool for Dust Mitigation (2021) [pdf]
"Or closest" is a mildly significant caveat.

The real Sun and the imaginary “mean Sun,” from which mean solar time is measured, may be as much as 16 minutes apart because during the course of the year the apparent motion of the real Sun against the background of the stars (the ecliptic) alternately slows down and speeds up.

https://www.britannica.com/science/solar-time

The east–west component [of the analemma] results from the nonuniform rate of change of the Sun's right ascension, governed by combined effects of Earth's axial tilt and orbital eccentricity.

There is a huge difference between the 1970's and now. Light, lot's of it. We have so much more light today then in the 70's, our headlights are brighter, we have more street lamps, and so much more.

We'll also see more northern states adopt permanent DST while southern states adopt permanent ST. Kids already go to school in the dark in the northern states, but they also come home in it too. This change will give them some daylight in the afternoon to go out and socialize.

https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/atomic

_Atomic types can be read-modified-written atomically (if using a compound-assignment operator), or the postincrement/pre-increment operations.

In these circumstances, the memory-barriers used for those atomic-operations will be of the sequentially-consistent memory model.

------

So yes, that "++*barrier" operation is read-modify-write atomically AND with memory-barriers in sequential-consistency style

-----

I don't believe that "atomics" are enough to solve this problem. At a minimum, I expect acq-consume to be required (not that acq-consume model even works in practice... so acq-release for today's compilers). That's why I'm still talking memory model / fences here.

Not only is an atomic operation required, but so too is the "publishing" of this information needing to happen in the proper order. Fortunately, C11's _Atomic implementation solves both issues.
I'm aware that Windows doesn't come with these out of the box, but they easily add up as you install drivers.

On my gaming PC there are:

- One for fan management
- One (or maybe two?) for graphics
- One for driver updates.

When logging in I can see these icons showing up one by one, obviously unnecessarily using resources and just cluttering the UI.

Then when you click the icons they each use a different and often "loud" UI framework, some have embedded ads. Some icons you have to double click, others right click.

You can close many of them, and even disable a lot of them - but not all.

Overall it's just not a clean experience.
I think it is wrong to ask the general public what they prefer. Most people honestly don’t know, and if they do, they might prefer the option which is more harmful for their health without realizing it.

Much better is to ask public health experts. Which will look at sleeping patters, at risk groups, etc. I’m particularly worried about teenagers which will be forced to wake up before sunrise and are unlikely to go to sleep earlier under social pressure (including from their own family).

Reminder that since 2002, on the books is a law authorizing the US to attack the ICC in the Hague, with the US military!

> ASPA authorizes the President of the United States to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court". This authorization has led the act to be nicknamed the "Hague Invasion Act".

> The act prohibits federal, state and local governments and agencies (including courts and law enforcement agencies) from assisting the International Criminal Court (ICC). For example, it prohibits the extradition of any person from the U.S. to the ICC; it also prohibits the transfer of classified national security information and law enforcement information to the ICC.

> The act also prohibits U.S. military aid to countries that are party to the ICC. However, exceptions are allowed for aid to NATO members, major non-NATO allies, Taiwan, and countries that have entered into "Article 98 agreements", agreeing not to hand over U.S. nationals to the ICC.

This is an apples to oranges comparison of course - but good developers spend time in university learning a whole bunch of theory and problem solving and almost nothing on rote learning (outside of how to find information which is a skill - while the information you're finding isn't one).

Perhaps the medical field is radically different - but I'd wager there's a whole lot of benefit that's been delivered to healthcare by giving doctors access to the internet so they don't need to focus so much of their time on trying to recall vague facts from twenty years prior in school and residencies.

It's a bit ironic given the current anti-Russia everything when Russia is the largest country in the world on permanent DST. If the bill had been subject to debate instead of going through so fast, I suspect someone would have brought up the Russia connection and the whole thing would have died a quick death as "we don't want to be like the Russians".

> "if people can’t bother to care about their body / health then"

People would have an easier time of that if there wasn't so much brightly coloured cheap sugar at bargain prices arrayed around the checkout of supermarkets and advertised all over. It obviously works or they wouldn't do it. Pretending it doesn't work and the target/victim is at fault for being influenced by it is awful. If you'd never heard of soda in your life, you wouldn't think to ask "what's the most intensley sugary fizzy acidic liquid I can drink?". If you'd never heard of Pepsi you'd never think to ask "What is the drink of my generation?" or "What is Michael Jordan endorsing? I bet the only reason he's good is his sneaker brand, I need some of those".

It's the situation of the bully standing in front of you, facing you, walking backwards, pointing at you, calling you names, poking you in the chest, pausing so you have to stop moving to avoid tripping up, pretending to spit at you so you wince, then laughing, sidestepping in step with you so you can't dodge them, interrupting your conversation with your friends and it's all fine and socially accepted - as long as you're a sufficently virtuous Ayn Rand libertarian this won't annoy or frustrate you. If it does and you retaliate, ever, in any circumstances (and it will be there when you are weakest, tiredest, most desperate, waiting) then HAH! Gotcha! you're inferior, clearly you just 'can't be bothered' to take the high road and now we can righteously take your money because you fell for temptation so we earned it.

It is.

If "people want more daylight hours after work" and it's worth making sweeping disruptive changes to make it happen...

Then just make the workday from 8 to 4 instead of 9 to 5.

No no, instead of making a sane clock and using whatever times we want on it, it obviously makes more sense to make a messed up clock.

What other measuring implements and scales should we move around so the numbers please us better?

Everything is expensive, let's change the way any monetary value is written to be -1 based. Henceforth all prices shall be written on a scale that starts at -1 instead of 0. If a thing cost $4 yesterday, it now costs the same 4 dollars, but the price is written as $3. This will give e eryone more money! I call it permanent wallet saving prices!
I don't think you're addressing what I actually wrote. Yes, they can and should earn more, but somehow their expenses are exactly tracking their income, and identifying why is key to ensuring it doesn't continue to happen as that income grows further.
Cool, then show a study which shows what everyone's preference is, or stop antagonizing people-- whose opinions you yourself said you don't care about-- for having an opinion which differs from yours.

Preferably both, but the study which shows you are in the majority would be a great start.

I understand you feel that way, but that's more or less the purpose and effect of the daylight savings time shift. That's the status quo. It's exactly what many of us want to see eliminated.
Absolutely. Fuck mornings. I'd rather not be awake before noon in the first place.

Also, some states would have a real problem with permanent standard time. Maine, in particular really belongs in the Atlantic time zone, as standard time puts sunset way too early most of the year. Having the sun down by 4:00 sucks.
How does that work? I'm not an American, but I've heard the stories about some state that has three timezone because of an Indian reservation and some other stuff. I was under the impression that daylight savings was a state matter. Don't some states currently not observe DST while their neighbours do?

What is the federal government's role in this? Can a state ignore this (almost) law and do DST anyway?
You should start trying to adjust it gradually. If you start by just a couple minutes every day in the start of February, you don't even notice it. Also can't wait for it to change.

Been there and done that. There aren't any silver bullets. Just some random advice.

First, pick your battles. You can't fight every one at the same time.

Second, DOCs and Email are your friend. Don't bother with Slack/Teams. If you came from an important meeting, reply to everyone who attended the meeting and CC and BCC people, and write your version of meeting notes and focus on what was agreed upon and what questions remained unresolved. After several emails like, this copy/paste them into a Word document that you save. I have shut down the worst offenders by simply re-sending the same email I sent six months ago.

Third, be prepared for the blowback. I got screamed/yelled at/for days by executives. Eventually the truth will come out. But it might take years.
