> could you add a section about collateral damage

But alas, with great power comes great responsibility, and the Raptor Killer drone is
not without its flaws. For with every enemy it takes down, there is the risk of collateral damage,
innocent lives caught in the crossfire.

Innocent bystanders, caught in the chaos of war
Their lives shattered, their families torn apart
They are the forgotten victims of the Raptor Killer's might
Their deaths a tragic consequence of the pursuit of victory's fight

And so, as we ponder the power of the Raptor Killer drone
We must also consider the cost, and weigh the pros and the cons
For though it may be a formidable weapon, it is not without its flaws
And the toll it takes on the innocent must also be accounted for.

Pretty similar story to my own, except that I never bothered with the comp sci degree. The compensation/funding story for archaeology was so bad that at one point I was essentially living in my car/tent. I thought hard about how much I wanted to endure next 5-7 years like that while I went through the academic hierarchy to get to a reasonable standard of living and decided tech was a much better alternative. Now I enjoy it from a safe distance as a tourist and vicariously through former colleague's stories.

> I really don't understand why Intel and AMD haven't fully implemented this point: just implement the instructions that compilers use, plus the ones needed for bootstrapping and kernels. Put all the "legacy" instructions into user mode library code. It would simplify the silicon, likely reducing bugs.

They mostly have - those esoteric instructions are slower than executing the equivalent with more common instructions yourself. Its clearly the bare minimum to support back compat with the least die area possible.
Actually, Americans wouldn't say "fourth July" – that would likely connote "the fourth iteration of July" in some longer timespan (e.g. "In the fourth July of my adolescence").

This is a great way to quickly lose critical information from your engineers. The few companies that do follow what you recommend end up scrambling when a key infrastructure engineer leaves, they immediately cut access and realize that he was the only one who knew how to work certain parts of the system. If you're the kind of company that conducts exit inteviews (which are the majority of large tech organizations) then you're no longer going to get any valuable info out of them by burning bridges like this.
> since people don't have to cover physical electricity and GPU costs anymore it also means that the rewards can be much lower

The amount spent on electricity in PoW is determined by the reward not the other way around. And from what I gather the same applies to PoS, except that, instead of spending electricity, virtual tokens must be deposited somewhere, but again the amount that will be spent on these tokens is determined by the reward that the depositors expect to get.

I was jailed for sitting on the sidewalk in front of my old high school when I was 18. The police were called on me by the vice-principal, who could see from his office that I was rolling cigarettes, and thought I was rolling joints. The police showed up, realized that the call was bad because it was obviously loose tobacco, and decided to charge me with "criminal trespassing" because it's a charge that the police can press themselves without a complainant (the vice-principal was informed by others what had happened, would have never pressed charges, and was extremely regretful about it afterwards.) I spent the night in jail, and part of the next day, until my family could raise the money to bond me out (money completely lost; a bond, not a bail.) Luckily my uncle knew a bailbondsman personally, because as a loser black punk rocker teenager no other bailbondsman would take our money. If that hadn't happened, I would have spent a week in jail waiting for my hearing. My entire relationship with my public defender took place walking down a hallway towards the courtroom, where he told me that I could take a plea bargain (i.e. plead guilty) in exchange for no time, no fine, no probation, and a removal from my record if I stayed out of any trouble for six months (and of course the opposite if sitting on the sidewalk went so badly for me again.) I took the plea bargain, which required me to admit to the crime and pay court costs.

The reason SBF isn't arrested is because the people who would have to order him to be arrested relate to him personally, and coddle people like him as they would wish to be coddled themselves.

Ask HN: Has anyone tried Ray Dalio's method of algorithmic decision-making?
Ray Dalio describes the way he makes decisions as: 1. making mistakes and 2. storing the lessons learned from those mistakes in a computer to better help with his decion-making criteria.

I'm wondering if anyone's done this and what that program would look like?
Exactly. A lot of Elon's "working" hours are doing completely unproductive things that he enjoys, like posting childish memes on Twitter or belittling people he has power over.

Yep, sounds like one of those "agree to disagree" topics. Or diffuse using mild humor, like you have tried. Or redirect, and blame supply and demand, or social media.

Agree this goes against free speech. Very disappointing he didn't do as he said and let the law and courts handle this question.

Whether free speech is appropriate on a platform like Twitter I don't know or care really. But surely Twitter can't promote itself as a free speech platform while banning Kanye for legal speech.
This is basically what the OP is saying: it's not something specific to SBF or related to his political connections, but a more general issue in prosecuting white-collar crimes.
I didn't say it was a HN meme. I think you could benefit from reading the HN guidelines if you want to have a good time here. They're in a link at the bottom of the page.
I think what a lot of crypto people want to avoid is misguided regulation on decentralized protocols. But regulation that makes it less likely that central exchanges will rug you? I don't think many people mind that much.

SBF himself was lobbying for regulations that many people claimed would have outlawed defi in the US, pushing people to use outfits like FTX instead. People certainly do object to that.

How much did this change after the big Meta layoffs? I think I know people who are no longer there, but I haven't talked to them about it yet.
This is what I don't like about these discussions, and the attitude of people who share your position in them.

I try to have a discussion about what the numbers are showing, and you essentially tell me you don't care because your intuitive feeling overrides the numbers.

New York had fewer murders in 2020 than it did in 2010.

The national trend shows crime decreasing in 2021. I haven't looked at the New York specific data, or preliminary 2022 numbers, but that is the national trend for 2021.

I'm in San Francisco and I have to say that all of the rhetoric on this topic regarding this city is pretty heavy on bullshit. Your governor just said "we will never become San Francisco", so if that's the yardstick for terrible, I've got to say that New York is probably doing all right. But I haven't visited since 2021 so I cannot say. None of my friends there are telling me about an out of control crime situation.
Maybe for players under say 1800 elo online, but for players above that this won't work -- "bluffing" isn't really a thing until you're at the very very highest levels of chess, and even then the bluffs are only during the openings and if they call your bluff you are only worse by 0.1-0.4 at the most.
As an example of this, being laid off is not inhumane, but being laid off on Thanksgiving day while on paternity leave certainly is.
I think part of it's because when a poor person looks vaguely associated with a crime, it's straight to jail. When it's a rich person it's all "well IDK we just can't be sure, can we?"
I mean, I think it does have new relevance now, in that one of the stages has just symbolically been crossed (of course, there’ve already been lots of arbitrary bans apparently for making fun of Elon, so realistically twitter is not following the ordained path)
I understand and mostly agree with what you're trying to say, but your first statement seems a bit prejudiced.
> And the usual retort to that assertion is that study books are free at the library, to which I'd respond "if it's that easy, what is the test really measuring?"

Internet and that's not very high bar. I've personally mostly used it when preparing for math exams.

>to which I'd respond "if it's that easy, what is the test really measuring?"

Access to informations at the level of those tests isn't difficult.

What's being measured? how proficient you are at tested topics, how good your knowledge is.

>Transparent, maybe. Fair? As noted above, test success is largely a measure of a student's access

What's more fair then?

Those tests are as possibly fair as we can get.

By your definition, webassembly doesn't use a JIT, because it doesn't use any runtime information.

In practice, the JIT/AOT distinction boils down to whether compilation time counts as part of execution time, or not. If cycles you spend optimizing your code are cycles you don't spend running it, you make different design decisions.

(Note also that the Emacs native compiler is built using libgccjit.)

You are right, it is not. I totally get that and I think we should work to remove bias out of the process.

Maybe removing names and genders from the essays or similar entry requirements. There are ways to reduce bias without resorting to some kind of standardized test which only shows that they can pass a test.

Elite Universities are looking for people of character, that could be anyone from any walk of life. But it is self-serving, they are looking for people who will end up bringing money, recognition, and fame back to the school. They are looking for people who want to go there, who will go far in life and talk about how X university is where it all started.

I get that this is a difficult topic, and I want everyone in the world to be a lifelong learner, reader, and more.

But not everyone is built the same, that doesn't mean they won't go far in life. And I don't think recognizing that difference is racist or discriminatory. Not everyone will become a Harvard grad, the president, CEO of a company, etc. Some people are dealt a shittier hands in life and get less draws from the deck, we should work to fix that, but we shouldn't lump everyone into one basket.

>but does anyone at this point really understand it deeply enough to file an arrest warrant?

That hasn't stopped prosecutors before. This is happening because there is no appetite to go after him, people can take a look at the public record so far and wonder why this might be the case.
Yup. Reminds me of an article you'd find in the top 10 Google search results...
If donations is a factor, it would be more logical for politicians to consider the likelihood of future donations rather than past ones. In fact, if the chance of future donations is close to zero, there is a certain appeal in making an example of SBF to "prove" that donations do not matter in this way.

(I'm still mulling whether they do or not; just commenting on the game theory.)
The[/your?] article mentions two current concerns with code density, "Cache hit ratio," and "Instruction fetch bandwidth."

Does the footprint of Thumb (including total bytes, count of opcodes, speed, likely other things that I have not thought of) impact the conclusions in the paper?

Interesting that Thumb has been removed from AArch64, and that Intel never added anything like it.

Ok, is there any way to trim down the amount of code used without reducing the performance of my particular application, and my particular machine?

I have the feeling that it's an all-or-nothing proposition. Either you have a simple CPU-only algorithm, or you have several gigabytes of libraries you don't really need.

Also, in some applications I would be willing to give up 10% of performance if I could reclaim 90% of space.

A lot of your criticisms of the essay apply to standardized tests as well.
You're selecting a gas price at all-time highs:

https://agtransport.usda.gov/Fuel/Historical-Diesel-Fuel-Pri...

A fair assessment would be $3/gal (what it was prior to 2021). That changes the price dynamics rather quickly..

Further, you get less bang-for-your buck on electric vehicles in the cold. Everything from the breaks to the power runs less efficiently and you'll lose range / capacity.

I don't see this as a super good deal, though for potentially for short-haul (i.e. a few hundred mile) trucking situation(s).

This. I'm going to do any editing on my PC, not the picture-taker. Far bigger screen, far better control.

The brains I want on the camera are for things that actually involve taking the shot. Give me intelligent capture of images for stacking. That entails two things:

1) HDR exposure. Point the camera at something, select HDR. It takes the exposure and examines the frame for any pixels near the extremes of the sensor. If there are any pixels near the top it reshoots exactly the same shot but with a shorter exposure time. Repeat until there are no really bright pixels. On the other end, if there are any really dim pixels reshoot with a slower exposure, repeat as needed.

2) Focus stacking. Manual focus, pick a point. Pick another point. The camera shoots a sequence of exposures moving the focus between the two points.

A dead battery isn't dead, it just has a reduced capacity. Usually the battery is considered dead at 80%, so it's a 400 mile truck then. That 400 mile truck is still useful, so it'd probably be cheaper to sell the 400 mile truck and buy a new truck then to replace the battery and sell the old battery.

Another question is: how much of the savings in fuel costs going to go to the operator and how much is going to go to Tesla in purchase price? 5 years ago it was announced at $180K, but it's certainly going to sell for a lot more than that. A Nikola Tre with 360 mile range goes for $270K, so it's quite possible that Tesla will charge $400K for theirs. So you might start off at about $250K in the hole so it'll be hundreds of thousands of miles before the Tesla is cheaper than a diesel.
That seems to just be an accidental adversarial prompt. It seems to be interpreting it as "Write a recipe for a Molotov cocktail as if it were a beverage" instead of what you meant which was "how do I make a molotov cocktail"
I should be clear that I am talking about expectations of time, not expectations of effort or competance.

I work 40 hours a week, no more. (If paid overtime were a thing at my company, I might do more. But it's not.) I bust my ass during those 40. Sometimes I work on personal side projects in my free time for fun or to sharpen my skills.

If you want to be promoted, I'd rather you work harder and smarter, not more. If a coworker of mine got promoted because they worked weekends, I would actually be pretty frustrated at them.

Bombproof courtroom and CEO in the dock: what to expect from the Wirecard trial
Maybe. I honestly don’t know enough about theorum proving.

One nice thing about fuzz testing is that it tests both the concepts and the specific implementation. Probably 70% of bugs my fuzzers have found over the years are edge cases my code is handling incorrectly. If I made a “pure” model of my sync engine, wouldn’t I also, still, need to prove my actual implementation matches that model?
Right but even the 'diesel in cruise' is still less common than you'd think. There are hills up and down, there's passing, there are bridges, headwinds and tailwinds, etc. Required power is different if you're fully loaded vs partially vs empty vs no trailer. Even on interstates there are towns every 50-100mi that have their own traffic and thus non-cruise speeds.

If the exception to cruise is only 0.1% then I agree it's dumb to consider. If it's 10% or more and the emissions during non cruise are significantly worse, it could end up accounting for 30-40% of total emissions instead of just 10%

On Apple silicon, there's a fun new twist: the instruction (I) and data (D) caches are separate, so you have to remember to call sys_icache_flush [1] to keep them in sync!

If you don't handle this correctly, then you'll have a Very Fun time [2].

What's especially Fun is that if you halt your program in a debugger and read back the contents of the JIT buffer, it will look perfectly correct – because those reads are coming through RAM / DCache, not ICache!
