> No F1 driver is winning a world championship with a
wheel and not a yoke. The statement in the article is
incorrect. The yoke actually makes it easier to do
quick moves but in icy conditions that's not what you
want.

This is a misunderstanding. The steering ratios on F1 cars are way, way tighter. They never have to turn the wheel more than a few degrees during a race and aren't turning the yoke more than a few degrees during a race. F1 drivers are also high-performance athletes and aren't tasked with driving their cars in the snow, maneuvering into tight parking spaces, etc.

Lots of design decisions on F1 cars don't make sense for road cars, and vice-versa.

There is a very real fact of the matter that society can function without programmers, but society can't function without carpenters and other such craftsmen of the trades.

In fact, the vast majority of occupations today are ones society could do without as far as hard requirements are concerned. So long as there are the farmers and the trades, society will work just fine; everything additional is a luxury.
If you specifically prefer SIMD over Vector, Andes has offerings with draft P extension.

If you otherwise want vector (V extension), "right now" would limit you to pre-1.0 V extension implementations.

If you need to license hardware IP, there are several very high performance implementations as of RISC-V Summit[0]. Actual hardware will pop up throughout 2023.

What was the story with tux3? It looks like it "read and wrote it's first file" in August 2008, and then had it's last update a few months later in Dec 2008. If if never got out of heavy development phase, being in the kernel wasn't the right place for it.

ReiserFS 4, it's been a very long time since I thought about it, but ISTR there were technical issues the needed to be addressed to bring it in mainline, and personality issues didn't help any, but that's a fading memory. Which is unfortunate, because ReiserFS had some great features.

On the other hand, btrfs made it into the kernel fairly easily, as a counterpoint. It's a unusual situation because it's been fairly broken and in heavy development for much of it's life in kernel, but early in-kernel versions were actually working fairly good (in my experience, I ran some fairly early versions in my laptop for a year or two with good luck, then an OS update brought in a new version and I had terrible corruption issues.
That sounds like a nightmare with how many spammers you'd get. For $20 fee, that solves the vast majority of the spam problem.
This is why I like automation (actual robots, not scripting and AutoHotKey stuff). You start out in the field doing sparky things (so you get some exercise, you get to travel, and you get first hand experience of a range of industrial stuff) and then if you do the job right, by the end you're sitting in an airconditioned office watching the machine run itself.
I worked on the LRB through LRB3. I wrote the non-polygon pipeline for omatic (lines, points, billboards); later I switched to the shader compiler (masher) under mattomatic. Larrabee 1 (all of omatic) had fixed function on the turns: texture units, and pointer chasing. The later parts did not have GPU FF; they didn’t even have some of the rasterization opcodes (faddsets & fmad233).

I seem to remember that LRB could test & jmp in 4 cycles, if you were careful. Since it was 4x barrel processed, those jmps were “free”.

I moved to integrated GPUs, later. x86 is bloated, but LRB was not. Also, the decoder — even a big one like x86 — isn’t a major HW problem. I’d say x86’s memory hierarchy is more of an issue.
Gnome Wayland, unless I made a mistake somewhere. It’s so random it’s difficult to determine more than “the desktop stutters sometimes especially when opening the overview.” I was having issues with my 5700g iGPU with 2x4K monitors as well - that required a kernel patch to fix.

Kind of disappointed an Intel NUC from 2015 handled the displays better.
I literally cancelled my Plaid S order and switched to a Model Y over the stupidity of the yoke. I simply could not square that circle, so to speak. They emailed me telling me it was going to be ready for delivery and I said, "you know what, I can tell I'm going to hate it."

I'm really glad I did that. I simply cannot understand how the yoke ever made sense, aside from being a 13-year-old's idea of what a cool car would look like. I'm not changing 25 years of functional muscle memory for... literally no practical improvements at all. And the removal of the stalks is goddamn criminal. To save, what, a couple hundred dollars on a $150k car?

That coupled with the rumored removal of ultrasonic sensors is some very stupid forest-for-trees regressions in "if it ain't broke, don't break it" world.

I'm not an electrician, but drawing an analogy to water you can think of voltage as water pressure in the sense that you can have a small stream of high pressure water as in a water pik or a large current of low pressure water as a river. The river carries more energy despite having a lower voltage.

Did the same search about a year ago, ended up ordering the CLP-775 after testing Kawai and Yamaha in stores. It _finally_ arrived last month, completely love it so far. On the somewhat cheaper side the 745 also felt great in store.

I don’t think you can go wrong with the equivalent Kawai models either. They somehow didn’t quite do it for me when I played them in store (compared to the CLPs), but couldn’t quite pin down what it was, and it was probably just a personal thing.

Anyway, definitely second FlyingRobot’s recommendation about Piano World (though seems like you’re set on that) and trying before settling on anything.

Good luck, sure you’ll end up with something you love!

Correct, and it didn't appear for carriers which were whitelisted (who zero-rated the iMessage activation SMS).

My memory, which may be wrong, is telling me that the first major version of iOS which included iMessage did not include the warning at all, and that it was added for non-whitelisted carriers (aka those which did not sell the iPhone) to prepare the user for the possibility that they will be billed, based on user feedback precisely like the comment to which I was replying.

How to Capitalize Engineering Costs
Vectorizing text handling is likely to use generalized register permutes (and I spy some _mm512_shuffle_epi8 here), which are the bugaboo in length-agnostic SIMD. Fundamentally, the maximum index you can read from in a register depends on the register size.

So yeah, even in RISC-V V, vrgather has explicitly different per-element operation depending on VLMAX, which obviously depends on the HW's VLEN. So depending on the table size, you have to assume constraints on VLEN or execute different permute sequences.
V extension and SVE2 are very different.

Modern mass production (iirc 1900s and later) where each person basically hyperspecializes in one job on an assembly line tends to cause repetitive strain injuries as people are doing the same handful of movements quickly thousands of times a shift. A good factory will shift people around to different parts of the assembly line to try and delay injuries as those will cause more efficiency loss than the hit you get from moving someone from one position on the line to another (sometimes it's even just as small as just having them be on the other side of the conveyor doing the same job).
You can build method access in Ruby trivially enough but you will forever be explaining to users which node.class isn't node[:class]. And now every method added to that Hash/Dict-like object is a breaking change because someone somewhere could have used that already to access a key.

The { a,b | } syntax is also still ambiguous with hash literals, unless you require that | to be there, and that looks like it gives the parser a whole lot of look-ahead work to do in order to distinguish hashes from lambdas.
Kind of a bad analogy because if Gmail is the horse, it can also become the carriage.

Ever heard of diesel-electric drive trains? The vehicles have electric motors at the wheels and a much smaller then usual internal combustion engine that is an onboard generator.

You can have both at once. This is what happens with some trains, frequently happens in mining, and happens in some large industries. It is what occurs with hybrid electric vehicles.

The latest round of electric vehicles are getting 80km (50 miles) off the battery. That sort of thing is find for most of the service vehicle types you listed, and meets the requirements for greening a fleet and having alternative power options.

Information is a key part of the rationality assumption of a free market, so having people systematically distort what jobs are available causes problems.
I'd wager a bad/worn NAND block, 'cosmic ray' or other electrical glitch was more likely to cause a checksum issue than anything else. It might be sudden battery disconnect caused due to the controller being dropped (per the first page), but there should be local capacitance on the NAND supply voltage size to last a page write cycle as sudden power loss is going to happen in a lot of situations.

I would generally critique the use of a checksum on this config data without a backup or ping-pong writing system specifically because in the case of a 1 bit failure on something critical like cal or configuration data, really you want the data anyway and just hope that the 1 bit wasn't that important and also be ok if the bit flips back again on the next go around.
> If that is the case, then everything is emotional.

For all practical purposes the state of the world is encoded into the universe. Relaying that state does not require emotion to carry into the message. If I exclaim 1+1=2, what emotion can you extract from that? The motivation for suggesting that 1+1=2 requires emotion to be present internally, but those emotions do not leak into the information presented.

I'm not sure what you're looking for, exactly.

> part of me sincerely doubts telecoms moved to, say, react framework to connect phonecalls.

If you use the phone app on your pocket computer, it very well could be using the React (React Native) framework. In the real world more likely it uses the OS's native APIs directly, but indeed React Native is just a thin layer above that anyway so the distinction is flimsy.

But yes, modern switching is also done in software. The phone is just another service that rides on the same network as all of these other services that we're talking about. Ultimately, what's really so different between Twitter and a phone call other than the exact bit arrangement that goes down the wire?

> I am not sure if you ever sent a complaint letter to a bank or similar regulated institution.

We are talking about support, not complaint. Those are very different letters.

> but, if anything, written letter gets a much closer scrutiny.

Particularly when the government is involved, no question. We already established earlier that the community that is government tends to live by paper. Once again, the "A team" lives where the people are. Even if Twitter is the best place for support, if you sent a complaint by Twitter it would be more likely be ignored because that's not where the regulators live. Like the recurring theme continues to tell, the most effort is put into where the people are...
He's talking about the chipset/motherboard/battery management logic/etc, which isn't in the CPU. Even then, you need the OS to properly utilize the logic, and Linux so often has worse power management than windows for laptops.

This really is a case where the CPU vendor (AMD) needs to get involved with the hardware partners to get good drivers made FOR LINUX to showcase their hardware, and not just windows.

The real reason devs love having Apple laptops isn't OSX. It isn't Apple the brand. It is somewhat the quality of hardware... but the real reason is that it is IT-supported Linux.

Looking ahead to the seemingly inevitable, AMD and Intel when pushing ARM (or RISC-V?) CPUs, will need to formally adopt good linux support for the hardware.

An instruction set changeover cannot succeed through non-technical consumers in Windows. It won't in games. The only beachhead for AMD/Intel in non-x86 will be a good Linux laptop. Otherwise Apple will have the advantage.
Wear a respirator and invest in good fume collection
I really miss the old days where when an app was down it was obvious... Now apps just go unresponsive because of connectivity issues between services... We used to have frameworks that could communicate errors in one log, it was a beautiful thing. As cloud infrastructure became more powerful to better host so called "monolithic" systems, it was all scrapped to move to microservices, which were made for less powerful infrastructure. Everything was refactored to the point where it's expensive to go back... Pretty crazy how much money the industry wastes on refactoring...

On top of that, the tendency to get complacent with unstructured data in a lot of systems is really creating a very complicated lock-in when systems are developed for unique services on each cloud provider... Bowls of spaghetti.

Hire Solutions Architects for dev projects, make your apps future proof... I warn you. Too much microservice customization leads to vendor lock in and expensive operational costs... This is why a lot of apps get sunsetted early.
I've driven the Model S for 13 months. Initially I was very apprehensive. But here is how my thinking has progressed:
1. 30 days prior to acquiring the car, I solely drove with hands on 3-and-9 in my conventional car;
2. First 30 days of driving, I practiced the turn signals and and horn at random parts of my drive to develop muscle memory;
3. First 6 months, I fully adapted to the 3-and-9 handling. I had 'button mishaps' maybe 2-5% of the time;
4. Final 7 months, button-errors diminished to sub-1%.
Some maneuvers are actually easier in the yoke than with a regular wheel. A U-turn is reminiscent of using the old rotary-dial telephones. You just dial the wheel counter-clockwise by hooking your left pointer-finger in the small valley on the upper left of the yoke.

I drive with some quirks that remove certain issues others have with the yoke. I never park next to a car -- and benefit from longer walks to stores, etc. Consequently, I rarely have any surprises as I pull in and out, and don't need to make sudden maneuvers. Moreover, even in the telephone-dial turn technique, my turning hand knows exactly where the 3 O'clock or 9 O'clock position is, and can adjust from 'dialing' to grasping.

Now I've had experience piloting various aircraft -- so, its remotely possible I have slightly more brain plasticity than your average bear. So your mileage may vary. I also benefit from the advantage of driving through icy conditions once every 3 years or so.

TL;DR: By six months of driving, my early apprehensions were allayed, and all phases of driving are no worse while driving the yoke.

Oh, and in case you think I have any weird biases: Elon Musk sucks in managing Tesla for the last 12 months, at least.
