To truly understand this stuff... you have to study SIMD.

But wait, what SIMD instructions? No no no. The 64-bit register here is being used as a 64-way 1-bit SIMD.

You can see that addition and the "&" instructions are just simple SIMD. The multiplication instruction can be broken up into complex 64x bitshifts + 64x add instructions all into a single statement.

In general, this is called SWAR (SIMD within a register).

---------

The "popcount" trick is also SIMD/SWAR (bitshift and add the & 0xcccccccc / 0x33333333 / etc. etc.), and is in fact a "reduction" / "prefix sum" applied over 1-bit values in a 32-bit or 64-bit register applied in a 1-bit SIMD as well.

------------

This achieves very fast results because its innately parallel. A 64-bit processor after all, can be seen as a 64-way parallel 1-bit processor. Learning the parallelization techniques, and applying them in this fashion leads to this kind of super-fast code.

Furthermore: PEXT / PDEP from Intel can be seen as "bitwise 64x way gather" and "bitwise 64x way scatter" bit-instructions. The 64-bit register as a 64-way parallel computer is truly a marvelous abstraction.
Is FFXI what the poster was describing though? I got the impression that it was a world where the economy was mostly controlled and defined by the community via trading, crafting and agreements.

That runs contrary to the sort of on the rails, guided narrative that modern mmos embrace (like FFXI and WoW but maybe not Eve online).

Or am I misunderstanding FF? I didn’t think PvP was a big factor.
Not to mention that "not frequenting strip clubs" increases your evolutionary fitness. Strip clubs take away your resources but don't increase your chances of reproduction in any way (possibly the opposite).

FPGAs aren't meant to be updated live, so it could be used to represent the reptilian brain of the AGI.

Or say if FPGAs are faster, more compact, or power efficient then the parts of the network that changes slowest could be kept in them to complement the more dynamic parts. I think we still have quite a ways to go before these optimizations since running the network is much easier than training it.

Credit scores for people who are responsible and struggling will be much closer to the scores of those who are irresponsible, rather than those who are responsible and not struggling. For the most part, the credit system expects perfection, so if you're out of work for several months and need to keep yourself fed, you're going to earn a black mark that will be a lot of work to counteract.

Even if you manage to keep it spotless, credit scores still give a lot of weight to "having access to a lot of credit, and not using it", or "having a mortgage that you've been paying consistently for years", both of which mostly require you to already have good credit to get.
Factorio but with RTS-style units whose behavior I can program in Python/Lua/Whatever.
Its great till you have to something custom. Then you realize you have to rewrite your whole stack to grow further.

For managers its great because you can hire amebas to operate it, but the moment shit hits the fan you can do nothing beside opening a support ticket.

TL;DR good for small businesses that have very easy use-cases. Anything past that will hit a wall sooner or later.
Lookup tables hit the load/store units, IIRC only 2 loads per clock tick on modern Intel or AMD-Zen chips (though if anyone remembers, correct me if I'm wrong).

Modern bitshifts/add instructions can instead perform 3x per clock tick on Intel, and 4x per clock tick on AMD Zen.

Multiplication is 5-cycles of latency, but at least 1-per-clock tick, maybe 2-per-clock-tick depending on architecture. The /128 is just a "bitshift-right 7".

-------

EDIT: So you need 8x lookups (at least 4 clock ticks worth of resources, assuming the CPU can perform 2-lookups per clock tick) for your lookup table approach.

But this "*(unsigned long long*)out = 3472328296227680304ULL +
(((c * 9241421688590303745ULL) / 128) & 72340172838076673ULL)" operation only has 3x bit operations + 1x multiply, using 2-clock ticks worth of resources.

The multiply and lookups have multiple clock-ticks of latency, but throughput tends to be the more important metric rather than latency in high-speed CPU code in my experience. (CPUs are very smart about rearranging code out-of-order to become throughput bound rather than latency bound)

There's a million fancy looking database clients, and yet I'm still using the crappy built-in MySQL Workbench that crashes if you look at it the wrong way.

Why? Because I need to be able to do more than just run queries. I need to be able to manage users & permissions, see the current server configuration, kill connections from other clients if necessary, etc.

The collaboration features are a nice touch, that certainly makes this stand out compared to others, but if I still need to use another client as well then it's just not going to work...

From what I've seen on here usually 'Tell HN:' is used for things like "this company banned my account for no reason" or "this service is down" etc...

Anyway I only mention it because I looked at this post and I was like "what happened/what went wrong".
Precisely, here the service is fetching stuff regularly even if no one is asking anything, if I understand correctly.
Not to be snarky but is there any evidence this goes somewhere other than /dev/null? I've seen support forum threads with hundreds of posts, many of them from users saying they had submitted feedback, and can't think of a single time it visibly made a difference.
I think Sandy Hook was materially different, but insufficiently so to change the fundamental calculus. And with that as a fait accompli, there's not a lot of room left for anything that could change it.

There is a very simple way to get them to stop sending the .5 qps that is described as a ddos.

The linked bug show another user successfully saying "please opt me out", and Google building the feature to do that in a week.

Drew has for some reason chosen not to ask for an opt out, even though it appears trivial and would probably be fixed by the weekend if he asked for it.
Yup, this makes a lot of sense to me. I could even see models broken down by director/film. So many combinations could be used - the possibilities are endless. A Tarantino model like that of Pulp Fiction might be a good one.
I feel like I just want an old-school mystery game that takes deductive logic to its limits. Awesome graphics, great story, and lots of clues, where if you struggle to combine new clues (premises) and they're not otherwise needed, they'll disappear and be replaced with a lemma/therefore/derived-clue that gets you closer to your end goal. Ultimately it would be a whole bunch of dressing on top of those grid logic puzzles, but where the system role-plays it and helps give you more clues if you spend too much time struggling with those certain hard parts.

I'm a big fan of text files--my "thinking workspace" for over a decade was a folder full of .txt and .md files and vim. But as more of my reference material and creative inputs are images, PDFs, websites, etc that became limiting.

We evaluated all the major tablet platforms including Android and Chromebook a few years back[1], and found all of them lacking on hardware or OS capabilities in a way that would prevent build software like Muse.

Hoping things have changed since then or will change in the future. I feel like touch as a platform is too important to be so dominated by one vendor.

The couple of times I have done something similar I have found an odd outcome - first was internal (to large company codebase) and second was npm imports years ago. Both times one ended up pulling in huge numbers of dependencies (900+ npm, 600 or so internal)

The point was that pretty no much what starting point one used, you pulled in much the same amount. There was a common core but even so it was like a starfish - if you start at tip of one limb, you pull in that limb and the core. start on another limb same thing.

but all the limbs are about the same size

it's just anecdata but it has been at the back of my mind as some kind of rule.

Good to keep in mind for the large subreddits and to put a grain on salt on those approximations, but even the subreddits hated by the admins show years-worth of purchases, it's also not likely to be prevalent in those like /r/aww where it's exclusively pictures of pets.
Warning: Slightly Off Topic.

I use Obsidian, which has Zettelkasten capabilities built in (I think).

But I don't use those capabilities. I just write things in daily notes as they come to mind, and use the search in order to find every mention of a given topic.

I have never felt more empowered by a writing system in my life. I think the key is to avoid complexity at all costs, and empower through search. I could add complexity on my end, of course, and properly tag and organize things. But what if we introduced a low-level AI/Machine Learning plugin that could enrich the search function and determine tangential topics and intent?

Then you could just dump your brain into a text box and sort it out later. This is the way.
I know exactly what you're talking about with community-killers. They don't really violate any explicit rules but they poison every thread with endless argumentation and always having to have the last word. I'm on a forum where such people are given two-week bans to start, and eventually perma-bans if they persist. It works pretty well but they will often return with a new account and start over.

Moderation is endless work if your community is attracting new users to any degree.
I’ve had both, been in the industry for a while.

The unfortunate thing I’ve discovered about great managers in big companies is that the work (not personal) relationship is temporary. There’s a good chance they get promoted/move on before you do.

Edit: I’ve also been a manager and even with the manager cap on I stand by my advice. I would not fault an interviewee if it turned out “Taking care of family health” really meant “Taking care of my own health”.

To me it’s no different than a company telling candidates how well funded and good the future prospects are, right up until the layoffs.

Ever had a private company recruiter show you a slide deck of how many millions your options will “surely” be worth in a couple years (via their non-GAAP proprietary metrics)?

Same stuff, it’s all a game. Loyalty is owed to individuals, not corporations.
I wish there were real sequels to Deus Ex and Baldur's Gate II.

And by "sequel", I mean incremental improvements to the game mechanics, and more content. Not a complete reimagining.

The Hitman series has been very good at not trying to reinvent itself each time. The first sequel to Deus Ex however is probably the biggest disappointment in gaming history. Baldur's Gate 3 seems to have nothing in common with BG2. The look, the feel, the mechanics… Everything that made it compelling. Gone.

You can phone anywhere you want; the proxy is configurable, and there are (from what I can see) several independent implementations of the proxy itself. Go defaults to Google's proxy; few people change the default because Google's proxy is very good.

Apologies for the naivety of this question, but it's it possible to "wean" yourself off of Google (or any one income source)? that is, maybe "pretend" that by default you're only receiving 50% of your total income and then during leaner times you have some buffer to figure something out. I can understand there might be no way to do this in some (or maybe all) industries, but wondering what kind of resilience like this is possible in smaller businesses.

The US backup camera fiasco was informative, because IIRC one of the domestic auto manufactures testified it was going to add $800 or some such to the price of a car (can't find a link about it). Which back then was still like 3x or so the cost of an aftermarket system. The law passed anyway, and for years its remained a high priced option, until there were lawsuits about the feds failing to enforce the law and require all cars to have them. There are various links on the web about how even the NHTSA estimated it would be ~$40 added to the price of a new car, something many found high considering the costs of the cameras and how many cars already had LCDs that could be repurposed.

Although I suspect the addition of backup cameras has given automakers excuses when it comes to rear visibility.

I'm specifically talking about Fuchsia and other kernel-based capabilities here. You fundamentally cannot print out that kind of capability in any way that matters- the only thing that determines whether a process has it is the table in the kernel, not whether it can produce a particular bit pattern.

In this sense, fs APIs are a fine example, as long as you keep the ls/.. caveats in mind. If you have a file descriptor for something inaccessible through the global file system namespace, then the only way to grant that to another process is via specifically-designed APIs like domain sockets or fork.

As I said in my first comment, there are of course other reasons you might want to revoke a capability. But unlike Dropbox URLs, true capabilities are unforgeable, so you don't need to rotate them out simply to make them harder to guess- they're already unguessable.
I love how they use the word "perform" to talk about how sites rank or place in search results.

It's not about them finding better results, it's about the results themselves "performing" variously well in the search. It feels so backwards, and feeds into the sad idea that all of the content is just there for Google to bring in front of ad viewers. :/

The next time I lose something around the house, and my fiancée ironizes about how bad I am at searching, I'm going to blame the search performance of the missing thing, instead.

When I was going through the mortgage process, my broker recommended a credit repair company, whom I learned had three broad purposes (the reason I mention this is in point three):

1. Relieve the psychological / emotional stress of debt collectors hounding you by redirecting that to them.

2. Offering to settle debts. Realize, though that "Paid in full" and "Settled in full" are different statuses to a CRA. And both have an entirely negligible impact on improving your credit score - the damage is done when the negative tradeline is reported. HOWEVER, for mortgages, there's some merit in resolving this. "Yes, it got to that point, but I did take care of it" is better that "Yes, it got to that point, and then I continued to ignore it."

3. How do these agencies also "improve" your credit? They dispute every negative tradeline, regardless of accuracy. If the tradeline isn't verified (because smaller/more manual agencies don't have the time/inclination, especially if they've got their money now), it is removed, like it never happened. If it IS verified? They dispute it again. And again. In the hope that at some point the creditor will fail to meet the verification requirements. Nothing magic.
why would anyone think you could do that? if someone thought, "i want to uniformly sample a subset of x-y space, i guess i'll instead ill sample in r-theta space and then use the nonlinear transformation x = r cos theta and y = r sin theta to sample uniformly."

i would assume someone didnt even know what uniform meant if they did that.

and graphics people are so insane about perf, they arent going to just start doing sqrt over and over. they are going to rejection sample anyway because it just 2 fmas

Main problem with them was NiMh battery had a shorter battery life, and was easy to ruin. First lithium battery was made in 70s as well. First lithium ion was in mid 80s However till the 90s they were not really a commercially viable item to use in products. So its still 80s tech in some regards.
To be clear, it costs real money for regular people to give Reddit gold, but Reddit admins can do it for free. So it's a very strong signal from everyone but them, but just as meaningless as an upvote from them.

I’ve recently dived into frontend development.

Im having a really good time reading about „whats new” and „whats cool” and see that everything frontend has „innovated”, last few years,
is just a rehash of something we already had for a loooong time but didnt have a „catchy” name.

Seems like WAT was only the beginning.
Have you not tried to get in concat with anyone else before? "mysterious reasons"

Did you try go get in contact with them directly and clarify it? Did you talk to a moderator?

Besides that, you are hosting code right? How is 70gb of traffic a DDos?

I have to say, traffic numbers like you posted, would not concern me at all. I'm very curious why your underlying git usage can't do better caching.
That's what the 4% is. A perpetuity that pays out $6000 a year is valued at $150,000 assuming a 4% discount rate. Without a discount rate, the value of any perpetuity would be infinity.
I've only ever been a 10x developer once.

There was a particular business process that our sales people were preparing manually and one of the engineers thought it would save them a lot more if they simply had a web UI, so he made it. Except the UI replicated all the same, tedious parts of the process, which was basically filling up a bunch of forms.

We had a sales team of 8 who spent 2 ~ 3 hours every morning filling out these forms. And the forms expand as we get more sales so it was a growing problem. So I proposed to use as many re-useable templates and defaults as possible. Most clients essentially came from 3 or 4 categories and wanted more or less the same options. If you're in category A, only options 1, 2 and 3 are eligible, everything else from 4 to 100 is just noise so hide/remove them!

Just one trick managed to reduce the amount of form filling from an entire sales team x 3 hours to 1 junior person x half an hour.

My take away from that experience is 10x anything isn't about writing some amazing piece of code, it's about providing a better process.
This is really cool. One mechanic could be that the older ghosts start vanishing / growing weaker / corrupting the physics as you add more. Exploiting this could be part of the puzzle in some way.
