> Itanium held the idea that we could accurately predict ILP at compile time (when the halting problem clearly states that we cannot).

I don't know where these notions are coming from.

Compilers can (and do) reorder instructions to extract as much parallelism as possible. Further, SIMD has forced most compilers down a path of figuring out how to parallelize, at the instruction level, the processing of data.

Further, most CPUs now-a-days are doing instruction reordering to try and extract as much instruction level parallelism out as possible.

Figuring out what instructions can be run in parallel is a data dependency problem, one that compilers have been solving for years.

Side note: the instruction reordering actually poses a problem for parallel code. Language writers and compiler writers have to be extra careful about putting up "fences" to make sure a read or write isn't happening outside a critical section when it shouldn't be.
The i960CA was the one of the first superscalar microprocessors. (I wrote a third-party commercial instruction scheduler for it, that operated on assembly code.) It was pretty nice, certainly in line with the other 32-bit RISCy ISAs of the time. My impression is that its relative lack of success was due to Intel internal politics.
Don’t share anything at all with them, they will use it against you no matter how trivial.

Man, that 6x86 CPU is still getting the short end of the stick nearly three decades later despite being a pretty solid chip.

So, first it generally had a higher IPC than anything else available (ignoring the P6). So, the smart marketing people at cyrix decided they were going to sell it based on a PR rating which was the average performance on a number of benchmarks vs a similar pentium. AKA a Cyrix PR166 (clocked at 133Mhz) was roughly the same perf as a 166Mhz pentium. Now had they actually been selling it for a MSRP similar to a pentium 166 that might have seemed a bit shady, but they were selling it closer to the price of a pentium 75/90.

Then along comes quake which is hand optimized for the pentium's U/V pipeline architecture and happens to use floating point too. And since a number of people had pointed out the Cx86's floating point perf was closer in "PR" ratings to its actual clock speed suddenly you have a chip performing at much less than its PR rating, and certain people then proceeded to bring up the fact that it was more like a 90Mhz pentium in quake than a 166Mhz pentium (something i'm sure made, say intel, really happy) at every chance they get.

So, yah here we are 20 years later putting a chip with what was generally a higher IPC than its competitors on a "shit" list mostly because of one benchmark. While hopefully all being aware that these shenanigins continue to this day, a certain company will be more than happy to cherry pick a benchmark and talk up their product while ignoring all the benchmarks that make it look worse.

Now as far as motherboard compatibility, that was true to a certain extent if you didn't bother to assure your motherboard was certified for the higher bus rates required by the cyrix, and the other being it tended to require more sustained current than the intels the motherboards were initially designed for. So, yah the large print said "compatible with socket7" the fine print later added that they needed to be qualified, and the whole thing paved the way for the super socket7 specs which AMD made use of. And of course lots of people didn't put large enough heatsink/fans on them which they needed to be stable.

So, people are shitting on a product that gets a bad rep because they were mostly ignorant of what we have all come to accept as normal business when your talking about differing micro architectural implementations.

PS: Proud owner of a 6x86 that cost me about the same as a pentium 75, and not once do I think it actually performed worse than that, while for the most part (compiling code, and running everything else including Unreal) it was significantly better than my roommates pentium75.

A different twist on the Itanium: technically bad but ended up as a strategic win for Intel.

SGI, Compaq and HP mothballed development of their own CPUs (MIPS/Alpha/PA-RISC) as they all settled on Itanium for future products.

After Itanium turned out to be a flop, those companies adopted x86-64 - Intel killed off 3 competing ISAs by shipping a bad product.
The opening track to Carl Sagan's Cosmos is actually taken from Vangelis' - still prog-rock influenced album - Heaven and Hell (1975); the 3rd movement.

I still really enjoy his early/progressive stuff and to this day cannot quite relate to his later stuff (80s and beyond) as much; nevertheless, amazingly, he always maintained a very unique style throughout all his years and certainly is deeply woven into the beginnings of synth music.
True but consider cars aren't a significant purchase for many people. At least to justify the maneuvering to maximize gains. Is it really opportunity cost if you didn't have another use for the cash and could replenish it fairly quick?
> the war should end asap, no matter who wins

One part of me agrees with this. War is the worst (as far as i know from books and tv).

The other part of me thinks: That is how Germany expanded half a century ago, getting resources for ww2.
(thug perceives the pacifist as a weakling and an easy opportunity to profit).
Ukraine has a lot of natural resources, part of the reason for the war.

> You think your suffering is making you a good person, that by looking at the painful parts of your mind you are no longer a narcissist, but you're at the same place as you were before. You haven't changed your behaviour at all.

This is what I'm going through with my partner right now. She went through a program that made her really evaluate her past and behavior. After the year program she thinks she is "fixed" and everyone else needs to live their life according to how she thinks is best.

It seems like an impossibility for her to even change 5%. If I could even get her to accept that she has a mental health problem that she needs to face.
Interesting. Our (my part of the US) rice is mostly sold in small plastic bags (perhaps 1-2kg), or for some brands hard plastic containers; larger amounts come in either a much heavier opaque plastic bag (like pet/livestock feed, when it's not in a lined paper bag of some kind), or a thin clear plastic bag inside a rough cloth bag. If there are already-vacuum-sealed options here, I've not noticed them.

Wtf why?? Have you even the slightest idea if the breadth and the depth of a program's possible execution paths?
It's a combinatorial explosion as show the difficulty and time of partial fuzzing.

I have both the current model and the older one. the horizontal wheel has been improved a bit - it's larger, and they moved the side buttons so that it's harder to hit them accidentally when scrolling horizontally (see this [0] comparison pic from a teardown [1] that I also linked elsewhere in this thread)

but the "shifting" feature is still only for the main scrollwheel, not the horizontal one. in practice I've never found myself using horizontal scroll often enough to wish it had the same "flick" capability.

1. A great many narcissistic children will label a classmate / neighbor an enemy somewhere between grades 6-8, and do everything in their power to destroy him.

Their popularity and talent for molding public opinion will help them, as will the understanding that no one else wants to be his next victim.

Unfortunately, I have seen this too often (the school psych told me it is a common trait for narcissists), and the effects on the victim are catastrophic.

2. As someone who runs a youth group, I know a family which is highly narcissist. It is very painful for me to watch them (they are children, so it is not personal, nor is it a threat). By the first kid, I mentioned something to the father, who turned on me personally and caused some days of heartache. By now, I just feel bad for them - and everyone who will ever be in contact with them. The school psychologist said that he cannot provide help without the parents OK, and the parents will never say OK.

I know of no solution.

The conntrack table on the BG320 is 8k regardless if it's doing NAT with v4 or plain session tracking with IPv6. You just want to make sure you don't have the older model with the 2k limit as that'll cause problems for even light usage households.

The way the IPv6 rollout is broken on ATT is the same as their IPv4 rollout is broken, they don't support bridge mode. Passthrough IP doesn't quite work the same as traditional bridge mode and still hits the conntrack limits. DHCPv6 and PD work fine though, I have it configured right now.
This is a specific example of a more general critique of therapy, or at least, classical psycho-analytics. It conflates that moment of insight (the "breakthrough") with healing, similar to how making a big poop is hard work, but really satisfying.

The power of this introspective moment of insight has an interesting parallel with the similar concept of catharsis. However, catharsis is outward focussed. It is through the careful absorption of art (e.g. a stage play in antiquity), which is fiction, and divorced from the self, that a healing release may occur.

So for the neurotics trying to avoid the trap you described, try channel that curiosity outward, direct it towards the minds of others, by paying careful attention to fiction. It won't change behavior per se, but at least will help with stepping out of oneself.

I'm 50 and I've learned about every 5-15 years banks pull something that melts down the world economy. It's called "financial innovation". As others have mentioned, this episode is pretty painless and innocent so far, to the point that I personally am not sure we're actually in an episode yet. These little hiccups happen a lot more often than that, and we often forget about them a few months later. Actual meltdowns don't just make you feel worried and annoyed, they hurt a lot. Unless you're a bank.
The left in general is mocking the (mostly center to center-right) politicians who championed the ban of single-use plastic, explaining that its way too little an effort. Or that the whole industry should be banned yesterday.

Not really, no. Panic sells so panic is what is being sold. This is not a new thing as a stroll through the archives (in any language I can read at least - Dutch, English, German, French, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish) will quickly show, especially weather scares have a long and rich history.

IPsec calls the tag an ICV too. (see RFC 7296 ss 3.3 for example) It's short for Integrity Check Value.

edit: an even better RFC for this question is 4106 which is about aes-gcm in ESP, it calls the tag an ICV also.
I worked on an unreleased third-party C compiler for the i860. It wasn't that compilers couldn't handle the double-issue float mode, it was more that it was worthless in real-world code due to the entry/exit latency. It had high performance on paper but not in reality, which was exactly the lesson that Intel did not learn for the Itanium.
This is what I've been predicting. Right around when the fed crushes demand, the supply chain will finally get fixed, flooding the market with supply that no one now wants.

It works well as long as there is an abundance of people willing to stick around, which is when these people will develop this mindset. With a bit of luck they'll grow out of it once the environment no longer makes it beneficial, but many are too far gone by then.

It's part of why PUA circles (to stick with the dating example in the article) hammer "abundance mentality" so much. You don't have to deal with a person having a problem with you when, as you say, you can shuffle them out for someone else.
Well, since its HN and we have lots of devs here - which are well known to drink lots of coffee - maybe someone had similar experiences, that's why I'm asking :)
No. The point is to have clear boundaries. In fact, "treat them like a baby and pamper them" is quite the opposite of the advice

Don't offer to help them. If they ask for help, only agree if not expecting anything in return. Or be clear about what you'll want in return. Everyone is different: they may react negatively to rejection, which is it's own problem, others may not hold a grudge

Be straightforward: call them out on their behavior, preferably privately to avoid power games. Let them know the boundaries which if crossed you'll disengage from them over

Part of the problem is that Congress is largely broken and can't adequately address issues like this. That pushes most of the responsibility onto The Fed and they have a much smaller bag of tools than Congress.
Congress delegated this rule-making power to the executive. Congress is legally empowered to do this.

If you are unhappy about this, why won't you have congress undelegate this power? It is fully within its powers to do just that. You seem to believe that congress doing its job is the solution to this problem - why not solve it through congress doing its job?

I'm slightly curious about the author's ability to form solid peer relationships.

This person dated someone who was "emotionally abusive, hypersensitive, and disrespectful". Umm, it IS possible to just say, hey, I don't think this is going to work out. Then just move on. Back in the craigslist dating days dates could be seriously wild for those old enough to remember that. I never felt the urge to post a substack blog about any of it.

Every time I read these things I'm so thankful for my partner who is practical and grounded and I've never heard talk like this. We have 2 kids and it's a job and I can't even imagine doing it with someone who was constantly evaluating the other person for deficiencies. We both cut each other a lot of slack and it really works out for us.

When you find yourself diagnosing the world with various problems, a bit of introspection might be helpful. You may be projecting some internal dysfunction, and even if not, it's MUCH easier to address things with respect to yourself then to "address rampant narcissism".

"toxic behaviors repeatedly observed over an extended period with no apparent willingness for the perpetrator to change, lead to legitimate questioning." - Just the language here - "perpetrator" etc. Most people are just trying to make it through life in one piece. The language in this is throwing up my own pink and red flags.
>a broader class of suicide attacks that include impromptu decisions and last resorts which seem easier to understand.

In USSR/Russia such attacks by Soviet soldiers (using say your body to close the machine gun embrasure) have been widely celebrated. Where is similar behavior by Ukrainian soldiers against Russian forces in today's war is blamed by Russian propaganda on "Ukrainian nationalists being pumped full of drugs".
It isn't healthy. It takes some serious honesty with yourself to decide who you really need.
Chicago has been seeing a rash of carjackings the last two years, and evidence suggests that the kinds of cars being targeted track which cars are popular (1) and not luxury cars. According to a carjacker the reason they would steal luxury cars is for shootings (2). But frankly, most of the crimes are just kids doing stupid stuff for the thrill.

I like polenta https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polenta (yellow corn hot porridge).

Also, my family is from the north of Argentina, so during the holidays there during one or two weeks fresh corn was very cheap. So we ate sweet humita and spicy humita https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humita, sweet corn pie and spicy corn pie, also whole fresh corns, and other stuff. We joked that we ate some dish with corn for lunch and some dish with corn for dinner for a week.

Tamale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamale , Corn Tortilla https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_tortilla . I guess someone from Mexico can add more recipes. (I think they prefer white corn and we prefer yellow corn.)
Except the M1 Air and 13 inch M1 Pro reverted to left side only (the new models with M1 Pro/Max chips have an extra USB-C on the opposite side). It's my only real gripe with the M1 laptops compared to older Intel Macs.

Of course, the Framework is the polar opposite of the M1 Macs' locked down "appliance" feel. I'm enjoying the progress being made with OpenBSD and Asahi Linux on the M1 platform, but the hardware itself remains impossible to upgrade or repair for mere mortals. The Framework is the pinnacle of truly owning your laptop while not sacrificing speed and a crowd pleasing design.
Again, what matters is cost. Do you need to spend 7x as much on renewables as you would have on your (to date massively subsidized) nukes? No. How much does a GW of nuke really cost, all told, in the US? Current numbers look bad. Disaster insurance alone would price them out of the market. Decommissioning cost is never included in the ticket price. Nobody can quote a reliable price for a nuke in the US. Then, we have operating cost.

The more total power you need, the worse the nukes look. Renewable costs are still in free fall, so setting out, 10 years hence, to double total capacity costs much less than it cost to get to that point. Nukes you started on today, meanwhile, would be just beginning to come online, after ten years shelling out for mined carbon they have not displaced yet. Does it seem unfair to charge that to your nukes?

Calculations divorced from real-world conditions do not enlighten. We are nowhere near short of land to site panels on -- they coexist, synergistically, with crops and pasture, and industrial rooftops, parking lots, reservoirs and canals -- or of silicon to make them out of. We need not discuss the amount of concrete that would be needed to build out your nukes.

Nothing to be ashamed of on the cyrix and AMD, both were better price/perf than what you would have bought with the same money from intel. The same can't be said of the P4, which was right in the middle of AMD giving intel a good solid whumping.
