> but can't be any fully OS ARM ones (even if someone's made an OS ARM core you still have to pay ARM a royalty)

Wait long enough and you can. Even if you can’t work around them, patents expire, and you can copy the instruction set for reasons of compatibility.

Trademarks don’t automatically expire, though, so unless the trademark gets genericized (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_trademark) what you can’t do is call it an ARM CPU.
Firstly, the old ones. C, JOVIAL, ADA, BLISS, etc. Digital archeology, basically.

Secondly, the ones that are new. Not Rust, Go, or even Carbon or CPP2 new. Not new like academically new. New like some practical one I haven't heard of yet. I'll know it when I see it (like Rust or Go 10 years ago).
Get a better designer..
It's far more nuanced than this, really. Much like Apple funds a lot of TSMC's early R&D for those nodes - it's not just that they're willing to bid more, they are a risk partner in the development of the technology itself - console companies fund a lot of AMD's early-stage graphics development. Without their funding, the Polaris/Vega era of GCN would have seen even less iteration from AMD. And they often also fund custom variations on the general architectures, which helps keep hardware engineers employed. And they also contribute to AMD's wafer purchases, which lets AMD get better deals on the rest of its stuff because they're buying 2x as many wafers as they could use themselves.

The situation with TSMC being super super limited during the pandemic is unusual, and it was significantly amplified by the crypto boom happening at the same time. Normally it's actually a pretty good deal for AMD in a lot of ways.

The console companies tend to be very very conservative in their designs though and letting the console companies set the direction has left AMD significantly behind on many task-specific accelerators like tensor and RT. And tensor is no longer a niche thing, neural accelerators have been everywhere in phones for ages, Intel's laptop chips have had neural accelerators since 10th gen, intel desktop 11th gen had it, AMD's own 7000-series CPUs have neural accelerators, Intel GPUs have it, etc. Different product segments are finding different uses for it, and AMD has been not just left out of the rain but actually is slowing the development of the whole field because of how tardy to market they are. And beyond that they've taken a strongly anti-consumer position against open APIs that allow other brands to utilize hardware accelerators or closed-source libraries.

Similar problem with RT... AMD's implementation is very lackluster and has been slowing the whole industry down. It's about half the performance of NVIDIA's first-gen implementation. A lot of times it just seems like AMD automatically assumes that NVIDIA is incompetent and wasteful, and there's some big savings to be had, so they'll take whatever NVIDIA does and cut it in half or a third or whatever (which is what they're rumored to do with tensors next generation - it has "accelerator instructions" but less powerful than the full dedicated units on CDNA, and presumably weaker than NVIDIA's dedicated units as well). Not sure if it's that, or if they're just cheap on silicon, especially with the console market's influence...
Eagerly awaiting the proliferation of stable diffusion front ends.
Just want to set the record straight here, AirTree folks were incredibly helpful. If offered, I'd take money from them again in a heartbeat.
They can’t pick a price below their marginal cost, though—that’s the problem with copper mines, and it’s a problem with power, too
The loading bar is extremely subtle and hard to see. I missed the tooltip message in the corner. It would be helpful if there was more clear visual feedback that the query is being processed or if the tooltip stayed open until the query was finished.

>You have pivoted the conversation completely from crypto lacking certain abilities consumers find crucial, specifically reversing transactions and protection from fraud, into a conversation about state surveillance. I am not going to defend police states or mass surveillance.

A conversation about the power of the government to have real-time, granular information about every dollar you spend, send or receive and total control over whether to allow or prevent your transactions is a conversation about state surveillance.
I know nothing about it but just the name itself is warning enough to say away. Amnesia…
I help run the Ultra blockchain.

We have a concept called Proof of Authority where we basically went out and picked competent teams that have a vested interest in ensuring the blockchain is successful. They run the infrastructure in a fully decentralized manner, but we work as a group. There are 7 "pools" and we will eventually expand to 11. It's not decentralized as commonly understood, but way better (imo) than just putting whoever is richest in charge.
Analogies for Git (2016)
People say a lot of stuff about mnesia, but it worked pretty well when I was at WhatsApp. We had some patches as mnesia wasn't tuned for the load we gave it, but it was pretty amenable. I don't recall any data loss issues that were mnesia's fault; maybe sometimes we had too much data to properly dump to disk and we chose to truncate files and hope things would work out, and when they didn't data was lost; mnesia may be a contributing factor, but lots of databases do bad things when you write more data than your disk can hold. We did a lot of things that fell outside of 'best practices' though: no transactions, dirty reads and writes, for many years rejoining after netsplits without reconciliation, disabling database dumps sometimes and cowboy operations schemes to try to resume normal operations afterwards despite having insufficient space, etc.

Having data in the same process as the software that manages it is immensely powerful and it would be foolish to give that up when your data fits the model available.
Some of the most memorable things I've read over the past year have been on Gemini which falls back to the system font or one picked by the user. I'm not saying that there's no place for design, but if your choice of webfont is a single point of failure within it you have no business calling yourself a designer.
Kind of OT, feel free to skip my naive thoughts.

I was sort of hoping that cryptocurrency would cause a societal shift in the “value” of money. That is, it could have been used to solve some tough issues like elder care and mental health. Right now, a lot of PE companies are running these facilities on fumes and trying to get every penny they can off the lives of our families, friends, and neighbors. If “value” was shifted to something else, and not just exchanging for USD, I wonder if it could have been possible to start funding these sorts of activities based on societal good. Sorry if it sounds lame, but knowing some elderly and mentally challenged people in my life, I feel really bad when I think about how much they’ve been pushed aside and under the rug.
implementation-defined is not "optional". The implementation must provide the conversion and document how it's done; it cannot say that, "oh, it's not supported and the program will refuse to compile, or behave erratically".

However some stupid definition of behavior could be given, like converting any pointer to integer results in a reliable 0.

C has pointer arithmetic; it must support subtraction of pointers that point into the same array-like object. So even on that implementation, you might perhaps be able to obtain a large-ish array and treat that as a heap in which you can convert pointers to integers by subtracting the base.
This is even more true about programmers.
From the opinion:

> Then, having cemented itself as the monopolist of “the modern public square,” Packingham v. North Carolina, 137 S. Ct. 1730, 1737 (2017), Twitter unapologetically argues that it could turn around and ban all pro-LGBT speech for no other reason than its employees want to pick on members of that community, Oral Arg. at 22:39–22:52.

This is an example of losing cases at oral argument. Something similar happened in Citizens United, where the government's lawyer (the one defending the campaign finance law), admitted point blank that under the government's view, it could ban political books by simply barring publishers from using corporate funds to print them: https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/argument_transcr... (pp. 27-28)

That said, the opinion is pretty bad. It reads like one of those opinions you usually see from the other side of the aisle--heavy on vibe, light on logic.
They are not equivalent, just like driving a car and taking the bus are not equivalent risks.

If your question is a sincere one, then you're asking, of employees who have been approached by companies via OS contributions, "why did they do that when they could have got that work for free?". Hearing from employers who have done this might be interesting, but I'm not sure that the employee would be the right person to ask.

On the face of it, however, to me at least it reads like your 'question' is less interesting: a rhetorical restatement of "companies don't do this". Then the 'evidence' you offer is an invented just-so story. Like all such stories it reflects your response to the world and the domain of your imagination, but tells us nothing about the world itself. It's a plain empirical fact that companies either do this, or they don't, and you find out which is the case by examining reality, not by weaving tales.

Telling stories to assert that the world 'must' be as we perceive it is common but without worthwhile uses outside of debate halls.

Please leave this at the door, we have plenty of posts with "built in Zig" in the title too. It's not even remotely a big deal.

It's the abortion debate. I'm against abortion. The way I see it is a person has rights no matter the person's age. Earlier in development just means younger.
You come off as being defensive about this in several of your comments here. There is nothing wrong with admitting that a random “can we chat” can lead to a spike of anxiety in people.

Many of us work in environments where 15-20% of employees are let go every year. Even for those who do not, the modern world, despite all our material abundance, can be cruel in subtle but destructive ways.

Society recognizing that humans have emotion and learning about mental health is.. well really healthy!

RV32 will turn out to be the 8051 of the present. The 8051 was the Doge Dart of embedded automation. I bought a book in Vietnamese in Vietnam in 2005 on embedded development hardware and software for the 8051. If the diagrams were any indication of the quality, the writing was excellent.
> For example, if you retain 60% ownership and the home has gone up $500k in appreciation, when you sell again, you will receive another $300,000 — that's profit that was never possible before Bonus™.

True, assuming that the house went up in value.

Meanwhile, to be clear, you do not "own" the home. You own a share of the equity in it, but you don't live there anymore, they are renting it out.

So your gamble is that the value you left behind in the house and did not need for your new place is better invested in the home over the 4-year span than something else. In some markets, if the seller is downsizing or moving to a less-expensive area, the tax treatment of housing may make this a good bet.
> Somebody, somewhere, is going to give it a good try.

People always say this, and yet the universal ban on human cloning has, at least so far, held strong and prevented further research more or less entirely.
You’ll find this in the other discussions, but:

- the content is covered more succinctly by the Wikipedia page on programming patterns.

- the content is out of date and doesn’t apply to most modern game engines (yes, it really doesn’t; yes, if you’re implementing flyweight or component yourself you’re writing a game engine not a game).

- it doesn’t cover actual game programming patterns like gpu kernels or blackboards (see for example Ai for Games by Ian Millington for a comparison of a book that gives actually useful advice).

Yes, it’s free.

Yes, it covers basic trivial programming patterns.

I think people can make their own minds up if they think it’s worth their time…

…but, regardless, I think it’s pretty fair to put 2014 into the title.

It’s old, and the advice in it is out of date.
> even if the price of those processors, when fitted to a PCI Express card instead of a PS5 motherboard, would net 3 times the profit.

The GPUs in Xboxes and Playstations are custom silicon.
"But in Iceland, there was more than a factor of 1,000 higher rates of change for key chemical indicators," Jackson continued. "In a month, the Fagradalsfjall eruption showed more compositional variability than the Kilauea eruptions showed in decades. The total range of chemical compositions that were sampled at this eruption over the course of the first month span the entire range that has ever erupted in southwest Iceland in the last 10,000 years."
Human cloning research has similarly been banned, and quite successfully, hasn't it?
It's been a few years, so my memory might be rosier than the experience was at the time. I grew up in the PNW and it was a solid 10 years in the Bay Area before I could actually appreciate rain again. And I still hate it when bad weather ruins my plans.

However, one of my favorite scenic things here on the Peninsula is watching the clouds/fog crash over the coast range every afternoon in the summer. From a safe distance in my 70 degree neighborhood, of course.

Mine is not an interesting "problem" generally speaking. But, to me, it is a problem because I haven't solved it yet.

I am on the journey of learning computer science and programming on my own from awesome books and resources available out there.

I came across this article by Peter Norvig: https://norvig.com/21-days.html after I read his code of a spell checker: https://norvig.com/spell-correct.html. I was mesmerized by the code itself. It is so clean as if it is speaking to me. No series of spaghetti statements making me cringe just at the sight of it. I want to be able to achieve that skill. That is my project/problem if you can say so. In college I was studying electrical engineering when I was taught programming in C using a very bad book and I hated coding after that. Now, I am gradually beginning to see the beauty in it. It is just prose. Prose can be bad and excellent. I was taught bad prose that's why I dislike it.

I hope to become an elegant and useful programmer one day and build things that are useful to people.

If you have any particular resource in mind that can help me in my journey, don't forget to suggest some in the replies.
A bunch of people are making this point, and it implies that Facebook is highly reliable as an identity verification authority. I’m not saying it’s wrong, it’s interesting whether it’s right or wrong.

That said, my personal experience with Facebook has been the same. It’s trivial to spot bot/spam accounts, and I typically end up with a high degree of confidence that the identity is real.
High end cards, maybe.

My point stands: a capacitor that spends most of its life at room temperature except for a few hours at ~60c is going to last significantly longer than a mining card which spends 24x7 at 60-70c, regardless of temperature rating.
I second this. When you have to actively pay close attention to the proportions and stroke order, distinguishing other characters at a glance becomes much easier.

Though with that said, I also rote memorized a lot of chemical structures, pathways and several rows of properties of the period table. It’s essentially the same as learning a language. You need a certain “vocabulary” before you can reach a higher order of reasoning.

But I would also be careful with suggesting “copy everything verbatim to learn it”, since it helps you to mostly memorize it, but not necessarily to reason about it. Memorizing the first 5000 words of a language is useful. Memorizing the dictionary is not.

The article is wrong, Apple don't really use ARM's Cortex cores within the M1

They already have a their own custom low-power arm64 core design for running these firmware tasks. They have about a dozen of them scattered around the M1, on top of the massive P and E cores.

There are still a few actual ARM inc designed cores spread around the motherboard, in various devices. But inside the SoC, most (if not all) are Apple's own design.

It’s not lame. When current money’s not fit for purpose, it makes sense to create new money.

I think somewhat decoupling pieces of the economy similarly to how states have different currencies could create new and interesting jobs due to different rewards structures.
Jesus wasn't speaking English. They had different idioms back then. The way I understand it is that "hate" in this context means "love less". You need to love God so much that in comparison to that love, your love for your family and friends and yourself is essentially non-existent. If they in any way would lead you away from God, you need to reject that inclination completely.
I'm not talking about philosophy, I'm talking about what gets people angry at the government.

Imagine that you're running a pub. There's a regular that dresses funny, runs a small show, drinks like a hole, and at the end of the day, always runs out without paying his bill. He's stealing from you. However, there are many people who go to the pub just to watch his antics. The food and drinks he steals are nothing compared to the extra money you make from that.

You have every right to kick him out, and you might do it out of spite because you will not tolerate thieves... but the pragmatic thing to do is to look the other way, so it's not surprising when that's what happens.
Wouldn’t an electric space heater provide more heat per watt? This isn’t a rhetorical question because I don’t know the answer. It’s just my intuition that something designed to produce heat would do that more efficiently than something designed to do computations that produces heat as a side effect.
IMO the comparison is similar but it's just not quite the same thing.

Don't get me wrong - it's a big deal to have this popular open ISA. But I just don't think it's anywhere near as big a deal as Linux is/was.

I just find that paper slows my thinking process enough that I am forced to focus on the details. When I have a keyboard in front of me my brain is in production mode and just wants to get stuff done not stop and reflect. It may have to do with growing up without laptops in school though.
The article is a nice read, I also agree that they are a contributor to the go ecosystem. That being said, a key issue didn't get mentioned in the article - the team is not fully technically competent for the products they are building.

A few years ago, I spent weeks evaluating their products, including the graph db and some of their open source libraries. I have to say that you are a brave man if you use some of their stuff in your production system. Good luck to you and your whole team is the only thing I can say.

To give you some examples, when I had obvious safety issues raised, quite often I got pushed back with all sorts of excuses, including from Manish himself. That is something more than technical - it is a culture issue from the top.

From memory, they even had an angry ex-employee exposing all sorts of bugs, including safety ones, in their products after leaving the company. At some point, they even had their issue section of one of their github repos closed as a response!

If you don't know what I am talking about, just check their code committed back between 2017-2019.
I don't think the platforms should be allowed to censor user content, if they also publish news well that's them expressing their own speech and choosing not to publish a story or not which is fine. (apart from obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing). I do not like that 230 leaves this addition at the end "or otherwise objectionable" that is too steep a slope (I saw the Depp case and Ambers team found every word objectionable ;)

"PruneYard Shopping Ctr. v. Robins, 447 U.S. 74, 88 (1980) (upholding a California law protecting the right to pamphleteer in privately owned shopping centers)"

I think of the platform like a shopping center, once you open it up to the public to enter they can say whatever they want to anybody else in there and nobody can determine the subject or viewpoint they are allowed to hold or communicate.

Once a platform opens up to user content I see it as the same thing, just because the reach is bigger and it is digital should not make any difference, when we are all retired our kids will send us to sleep in a capsule plugged into the metaverse and wired up to a nutrient supply drip like the matrix - do you want to be censored in there ?

anyway that's my 2 cents. I am sure people smarter than me will see a lot wrong with this and happy to hear about it.
