> In particular, our implementation does not utilize OpenMP or any other high-level multithreading APIs, and thus gives the programmer precise low-level control over the details of the parallelization, which permits more robust optimizations.

I totally disagree with this line of thinking. The person who knows most about the hardware on which the program will be run is the person running it, not the programmer. The OpenMP API somewhat complicated in an attempt to allow the programmer to, at a high level, express ideas about data locality to the runtime.

Unless we're imagining a universe in which the programmer is around to tweak their source code for every hardware platform, the idea of "giving the programmer more control" is a dead end. The programmer must be given expressiveness.

Threading libraries are complicated because hardware is complicated. I mean first generation threadrippers are a little old, but they still exist: do we really want to have everybody re-write the code to handle "I have multiple packages on this node, NUMA between the dies in a given package, NUMA between the packages in the node!"
> I'm assuming you also agree that the status quo is not working well.

I do, insofar as I believe the moralistic emphasis of the status quo is counterproductive.

> Do you think that this education and empowerment is unnecessary or somehow detrimental?

Yes, I believe that such moralistic emphasis is detrimental. I believe that emphasizing personal responsibility while deemphasizing structural factors is hypocritical and morally bankrupt.

To those failures who are the supposed targets of the teaching, they learn from the hypocrisy of their teachers that "personal responsibility" is just a cudgel to beat them with while they are being pressed down. To those who succeed, it induces a crippling inability to acknowledge the role of luck and environment in their success, and a corresponding tendency to "other" society's failures.

> They further advocated for providing aid that is missing,

The only "aid" that they advocate is moral teaching — which does nothing for the homeless, but gives people who are not homeless a narcotic bloom of superiority.
Even if online sales are slowing overall maybe it is still growing in some areas, requiring more capacity. As for the land purchasing, maybe it is partly an investment to get cash off the books and/or positioning for some long term strategy (this is just a guess, I don't know much about how large businesses operate).
I'm not saying nothing genuinely biological is happening, and it's totally plausible, but I am saying one has to be careful about the available evidence and how it's interpreted.

The only thing we can really measure is what people say about themselves, often in a poll/survey/study context. More people are identifying as LGBT in the younger generations. We have no way of knowing how many people in each generation are some form of closeted. But people's increased rates of _identifying_ as LGBT have occurred in an environment where both cultural and chemical/biological factors have shifted. How could you disentangle their effects?

I think there's a risk when making claims about anything that has stigma attached to it. How prevalent has sexual assault been, over time? How many kids are raised with corporal punishment? If you expect that both their prevalence, and the willingness of people to report or talk about it changes over time, how could you know when rates go up or down?

>Do they anesthesize the child in the other 10%?

That answer is heavily nuanced and is likely difficult to answer. First, there's the likelihood that some of that 10% occurred very early in the second trimester but prior to the development of the ability to feel pain. One should also consider the circumstances of each specific abortion relative to whether or not they would feel pain.

>EDIT: Answered my own question: apparently only in Utah as of 2016: http://www.healthlawpolicy.org/fetal-anesthesia/

Your link very clearly states that Utah is the only state, as of 2016, that legally requires the use of anesthesia. Lack of legal requirement does not mean a lack of anesthesia whatsoever in other states.

Edit: This sort of thing is never as black-and-white as one would like it to be, which complicates these discussions given the high level of emotions involved.
Funny, i created this account after years of lurking because I’m trying to get away from Reddit
Makes me wonder how painful going through birth is for the infant. I can't imagine it's pleasant.
I too met a business partner when he called into my BBS in 1985, when I was 14. On our first venture, we sold a shareware door library (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door_(bulletin_board_system)) written in Turbo Pascal. Such fun times. We're no longer business partners, but we're still best friends. 37 years later and its crazy to think our kids are now older than we were at the time.

The only reason I was running a BBS was because my dad accidentally bought me the software for my Amiga, thinking it was terminal emulation software. I realized his mistake and thought, heck, since I've got the software...
> Wouldn't "a rewarding career" qualify as long-term, intrinsic wellbeing?

Depends on what one understand by “rewarding”. If it's compensation, title, status, achievements, etc., these are extrinsic factors. Regardless, I don't see any evidence for a rewarding career in the OP.
I'm 32 and was diagnosed at 11. I received behavior help but no meds.

Until earlier this year, when a variety of factors pushed me to finally try them.

All of a sudden, I could focus on things without having to have all of the stars aligned. I never realized the extent and complication of my self-medication until I tried meds. I don't think I've lost my "sparkle." Instead meds help it come out because my follow-through is so much better.

It took me a few months to find the right med - finally on the right one + dose now, but it took some time, so be prepared to experiment with your doc if you choose to try meds.

It's not the right choice for everyone, but it's definitely been the right choice for me, and it's one I wish I had made a lot sooner.
It is worth noting that measures of quality of life are often conflated with wealth, even to a degree that they quite often use straight up economic metrics (like GDP) in their models.

On top of that our global capitalist situation heavily favor exploitation in cheaper labor markets. So if you are a millionaire CEO in a rich country you are very likely to exploit your workers in poorer countries (or more likely, the workers of your providers and contractors) which overall increases the QOL in your country while decreasing it in your worker’s country. Your correlation might be a cross causation.
Does it? Is there an example of said gradual progression?
Constant time comparisons take practically no time at all. I hardly see how it would noticeably reduce performance if software could command a CPU to lock to a low frequency for a certain period of time or when the sensitive code finishes, whichever happens first. The OS could track how often this happens and give a simple UI so that we can blame those applications that abuse it.

What we're talking about here is when people like Jeff Bezos have billions of dollars of income--direct income from gains realized in asset sales, income generated from property, stock sales, salaries, etc.--we shave a significant portion of those gains off in a wealth tax.
How so?

They claim each rocket (with refueling) can deliver 450T to mars. SpaceX has supported a reliable and high rate of launches, I believe higher than their next few competitors combined.

What makes them "totally inadequate"?

I think many in 2010 had no idea how well SpaceX would do, how cheap the launches would be, and how many launches they would manage.
Inapplicable here

You literally are carrying Putin's water in this discussion.

People doing that are either fooled, or doing it deliberately. I did leave out the option that you could actually support anti-democratic authoritarian governments, because there is no enlightened thought path to that conclusion (& no Hobbes' writings do not get there), leaving us with only the two options, fooled, or trolling for a higher power structure. I'm not really interested in which.
It doesn't seem that this affects wall time for a single addition though, at least on typical x86 CPUs. If you look at Agner's performance tables [1], ADD instructions always take the same number of cycles.

I'm not a hardware expert, but I'm guessing that what's happening here is that transistors get hotter with certain input values more than others. Eventually this results in higher overall CPU temperature and a lowering of CPU frequency to compensate.

By that same logic, why should USA salaries be higher than the rest of the developed world? Will you work less hard if you can only get $70,000 versus $200,000? The CEO is an employee. The owners of the company hire him/her to do a job.
Of course I have alternativeas, but I feel like you don't want to discuss.

I don't know how you can be so condescending as to say you know everything there is to know about workers and I don't. Workers want to have an easier life than what they have right now, and capitalism will not help them

Literally every engineering director I've ever seen says exactly what you're saying. E.g., "as much pay increase as I could possibly": for my experience and growth, an employer I worked with offered a -6.6% increase in real salary for my time there. (≈3 years tenure.) Negative. The work was also … not what I'd like to be doing. So between "stay with company" and "find different company", it shouldn't be too hard to predict which option was more appealing.
Up until the mid-2000's Amazon was mainly a bookstore with a very good catalog and recommendation system. Then it became the pile of spam that it is today, a marketplace of sellers worse then Mos Eisley.

Well yea, most of their headcount is consultants now, right? Corporate America might not be a democracy but neither can executives change the culture by edict.
There are currently things like this that we can stop from going to doom. But we won't. It will be 2030 when we'll learn, yep, we were right.

Lack of critical thinking, patting too much on the back of ourselves and inability to make tough decisions is a general malaise in Big Tech.

When companies are too focused on other things and not enough on the fundamentals, this is what happens.
Is wealth tax paid on unrealized gains? If not, these billionaires would only pay the wealth tax when they liquidate their position in the company they founded. Until then, it's just paper wealth and not taxed.
> What are the actual differences between the life of the average American worker and Jeff Bezos?

Here are just a few massive differences between the life of the average American worker and Jeff Bezos that have nothing to do with buying luxury goods:

1. Jeff Bezos can get an audience with any Congressperson, any State governor, most countries's heads of state and probably the President of the US, with a telephone call and likely with less than 24 hours notice. That person will listen to and likely be influenced by what he says.

2. Jeff Bezos's public statements can move global financial markets.

3. Jeff Bezos can (and does) own and control mass media companies which can amplify and downplay political issues and shape the outcomes of elections.

4. Through philanthropy, Jeff Bezos can, if he wants, simply decide what counts as a "public good" to be funded and supported, as opposed to the public deciding through the democratic process. Bezos is capable of offering an amount of support for his causes that dwarfs government-funding. We are merely lucky that billionaire philanthropists have so far focused on good things like curing malaria and not on evil.
I remember that on TV Trump was telling German chancellor that they should seek energy sources outside of Russia, and the media was mocking him for being populist or for being anti globalization (or for being paranoid as Russian would need buyers? I can't remember exactly). Is the orange man so bad that whatever he touches is a taboo? Is there any truth in what he does, and the executive branch can be less political but focus more on execution?

BTW, what's with all the politicians telling people to buy electrical cars so they don't have to worry about high energy price, as if they didn't know how expensive or unpractical those cars are for ordinary American families? I somehow find that stance insulting.

"By the end of this war Ukraine might end up with the largest tank army in Europe."

As Ukraine officials beg for help, and ask for half of US army armor 4th month into the war, you guys keep inhaling copium, dreaming in your beds about Russia "being destroyed" in Ukraine. I wouldn't expect anything less from western propaganda enjoyers tbh. Also taking oryx stats seriously, that's fun.

While some parts were definitely messy, and it really is a tradegy donbass and crimea situation had to be resolved this way, you'll soon be aware about the real situation in Ukraine, no matter how bad you want to believe the lies.

Sorry, but I have to disagree. the MTF fighter is legitimately terrrrrible. They'd get lit up within 10 seconds and then be immediately submitted (pre-transition no less) by a male MMA fighter.

That fight was extremely lopsided in 2 distinct ways. 1: The bio-female fighter was 10x more skilled, had better movement, form, and fight tactics. It was like watching a pro boxer fight a drunk. 2: The MTF fighter had a distinct and extreme strength and durability advantage.

Watch it again. The MTF fighter was throwing hail-mary haymakers while essentially not even looking. Whenever one connected, the reaction was stark and immediate. The pure strength and power from pre-transition clearly does not disappear. The bio-female fighter hit the MTF fighter relentlessly with almost no effect. The strength and durability advantage was exceedingly clear.

The takedown and submission were quite possibly the most embarassing, terrible examples of MMA technique I've ever seen. If the strength levels were at all comparable, that would have ended up with Alana's top control being reversed and her being submitted.

Put another way, if both fighters were either bio or MTF, Alana would've been turned into ground beef not even halfway through round 1.

Scratch, C, Python

All 3 in that order, they don't need to go super deep on C, they can spend a couple of weeks on it - you go from programming on a very high level, to programming on a much lower level, and then to a language that takes care of lots of stuff for you (and you get to appreciate it more).

It's what CS50 does, and it's the best for complete beginners, including kids. The point is that they're learning about programming and software, they aren't learning a specifc language. I think that being exposed to more languages early helps with learning because it allows you to grasp overarching concepts instead of thinking that things are done only in the way your first language does them and then having to unlearn stuff much later on.

If they buy up enough land quietly they can then spin it out as a REIT and lease it back from themselves, thus writing off capital gains and moving them under operating expenses as a major tax dodge.

If they did it loudly people would start speculating which will present reduced wealth extraction by siphoning off rent. The goal is to avoid letting other people get rich and cornering all the capital for yourself. Stealth is a pirate's best friend.

At our small consultancy, I was lead developer and the SE. Out on demos it was the President, our Marketing fellow, and me. I did all the demos and talked up tech and the stack.

The money quote from one demo "You're a 5 man company, and 3 of you are here?".

The President was technically savvy, and also an (ex) developer, the sales guy was a sales guy. The President was also the domain expert.

I loved the SE part. I loved our product, I enjoyed the demos, I was enthusiastic to evangelize it. It also helped that anything we promised was probably going to be done by me anyway, so there was little of that discontinuity between what was promised and what was delivered.

That said, you certainly needed a good relationship with the sales guy and make a point to never contradict them when they're presenting something, even if it's egregious. Nobody is signing anything, there's always time later to correct issues.

It's also important to let the sales folks make the promises, as they're the ones doing the contracts when it's all said and done. There's a bit of a political line to stay on one side of, so in the end, I always deferred to the sales guys.

But it was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed doing that work, I'd do it again given the right opportunity. It helps a lot to believe in the product you're selling.

That said, like a comedian, giving a demo to a dead room is just exhausting.
That's not a use case that it's been designed for so far, but I'd be interested to hear whether it provides any assistance as-is, and equally if it doesn't.

I would recommend Python. If you install Thonny, you get pretty much everything you need right out of the (free) box. And because of its format, they can learn single commands in the REPL, then graduate to writing script-like programs, then progress onto increasingly complex GUI apps and whatever else they want from there, without having to change, install or update anything.

Then also if they get a Raspberry Pi Pico (which is only $4 or $5), Arduino, or just about any other microcontroller board, they're already set up to be able to control and program them, too. Lots of branching out potential, and a painless learning curve.
