Yes. In general, compilers only test emit flag testing instructions after instructions that are explicitly defined as having flag-modifying semantics.

(This is a common feature of ISAs, and makes sense in terms of component reuse: it allows you to cheaply reuse the ALU, for example, without needing extra wires/control signals telling it not to update the flag state.)

It is not really C, it is the underlying hardware. C is just portable assembly language.

If I recall correctly, MIPS64 would fault on integer overflow, but I did not find a reference saying that after a quick search.

The RISC-V team at Berkeley took this feature out.

The famous example among software correctness people is the lack of detecting integer overflow leading to the Ariane 5 rocket disaster, although this seems to have perhaps been more complex than just an integer overflow:

https://www.bugsnag.com/blog/bug-day-ariane-5-disaster

What went wrong?

The fault was quickly identified as a software bug in the rocket’s Inertial Reference System. The rocket used this system to determine whether it was pointing up or down, which is formally known as the horizontal bias, or informally as a BH value. This value was represented by a 64-bit floating variable, which was perfectly adequate.

However, problems began to occur when the software attempted to stuff this 64-bit variable, which can represent billions of potential values, into a 16-bit integer, which can only represent 65,535 potential values. For the first few seconds of flight, the rocket’s acceleration was low, so the conversion between these two values was successful. However, as the rocket’s velocity increased, the 64-bit variable exceeded 65k, and became too large to fit in a 16-bit variable. It was at this point that the processor encountered an operand error, and populated the BH variable with a diagnostic value.

If someone clicks on an ad, don’t you think it is because it resonated with them?

Even from first principles, it stands to reason that the more precisely you can craft a message (e.g. an ad) for your audience, the higher the chances that it would resonate, and be something you can monetize.
I saw these in Germany and bought one for my home when I got fed up of adjusting the shower at home. I told my parents, -- they'd have the same problem, and one would shuffle the toilet while the other was taking shower -- but they didn't bother, until I just bought and installed one for them as a gift.
i don't know which parent is austrian.
my friend has both citizenships at least since their youth in the 80s. so whatever allowed that to happen must have been something in effect then. maybe a different temporary exception on either the german or austrian side.

Using old books to fight Web 3.0
As a skeptical computer scientist I fear we have finally reached the next phase of technology with GPT-3 and stable diffusion, these two technologies in combination with others like deepfake will make for a very different internet, may as well call it what it is, Web 3.0.

For all the positive uses of this new tech the repercussions are 10-fold i.e. misinformation (that has conveniently been 'fact-checked' for us), invasive advertising, lack of privacy and ultimately population control.

Any kind of population control starts with limited / guided access to knowledge, just take a look at North Korea and how its citizens are brainwashed into believing they are living the high life, relative to the rest of the world.

I've always been an avid user of technology, even my major was AI and Data Science in university, but it is time to move on and not allow these technologies into our homes.

Home use can simply be using Google Search, browsing YouTube or Instagram, where everything is going to become even more fake than it is now. There are theories suggesting the internet has been dead for a long time already https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2021/08/dead-internet-theory-wrong-but-feels-true/619937/.

Outside of keeping connected with people (Signal, Whatsapp, etc), there really is no reason to use the internet except to gain knowledge (isn't that why the internet was invented in the first place? web 1.0). But we all know most people browse the internet to cater for their addictions, be it news, social media or other forms of internet addictions.

Skeptics like myself who don't trust the media and government have an extra difficult time finding authorative & unbiased knowledge, but the solution is simple: go back in time.

I don't mean time travel, I mean books. In particular, books that are pre-2010s, the earlier the better in most subjects.

90% of the knowledge people seek isn't new, even artificial intelligence content like image edge detection was done way back in the 80s. This is not to say new books are useless, but people undermine old books as if they are obsolete, this is only the case in very specific scientific domains.

Now we enter the era where any book, article, news story or even documentary (wont be long now) published after 2023 is either partially or completely generated by algorithms, either spewing propaganda or showing fabricated images and video.

I'd rather read the biased opinion of an author with a ton of life experience, than 'fact-checked' bullshit online, it won't be long before GPT is crowned as the single source of truth because of inevitable 'fact-checking' abilities.
Frank Oz was Bert, as well as Miss Piggy and Fozzie, and Henson was Ernie, as well as Kermit and a producer on the Muppet Show. I think they had enough to do on the show as it was.

Also: Oz was better at doing different voices than Henson. I think Ernie and Kermit in a scene together would be bad, since the voices were so similar.
I agree with everyone's criticisms that it seems to identify similar tempo and melodic riff, irrespective of genre. But to me this is a feature, not a bug. I could see this or something like it opening my eyes to music I would never possibly have found on my own. I really like it!

Spotify on the other hand seems to want to send me to the same group of artists and tracks I've listened to before, following some Collatz conjecture type algorithm that eventually converges on the same tuned playlist for that genre, no matter what the starting parameters may be.

> Companies no longer care about loyalty. And neither should you.

The article's author is absolutely right, and I agree.

But the long term damage this is already doing & has done to the industry is maddening. People — rightfully so — don't stick around long enough. Before you can take a new engineer from "new hire" to "has learned our systems and has a good understanding" to "is productive and can make changes on their own in the system" to — and this is about the point where most people have found greener pastures — "understands the theory of the system and is actively poking holes in it, and is coming up with far better ideas on their own", but they're already gone, and those super long-term insights are gone with them.

So many times — easily multiple times per week if not per day — I am having to answer "ah, that system. Alice would know the answers, be able to guide you, is the resource you need … alas, she left/was laid off." We'll get the job done without her, but it'll take us 5×? 10×? as long.

Do you have evidence for this?

Because I was told a very different story. There's a lot more to it than what you may have read.

Perhaps you should consider reserving judgement until you have all the facts.

Consider for a moment that there may be important details and nuance that's missed by newspapers that are most interested in clicks.

Please inform yourself that accusations are not evidence, and maybe consider what you would feel if you were being judged by accusations alone.

I'm not at liberty to discuss the details, but I highly recommend you slow your rush to judgement. There's a lot about the whole situation that you are not aware of.

They might be referring to the extra spacing around the punctuation in “$479. 00” and “transaction, please”.

“Dear Customer, You” is also incorrect. The standard correction would be to add a newline after the comma (which presumably the scammer was unable to do), making it a spacing or perhaps capitalization error. But another valid fix would be to replace the comma with a colon, so you could argue it’s a punctuation error…
the most important point to keep in mind is the default pass by value context.

without defining a copy constructor, the compiler will do the copy
himself, the point is : there is no copy constructor to call,
so you have :

1) first the new Complex c3 is allocated,

2) there is no copy constructor to call

3) the compiler do the job, the memory used by c2 is copied on c3.

end of the story, no parameter value.

when adding a legal copy constructor (pass by reference), you may consider the reference like some sort of pointer. this is false, but help to understand the memory behavior of a copy constructor. then you have something like :

1) first the new Complex c3 is allocated

2) the "memory" for c, the reference/pointer to c2, is allocated.

3) the _address_ of c2 is copied in c.

4) the c3 constructor start with the reference/pointer/address of c2 as parameter.

end of the story, normal "pass by value" of an address.

finaly, if a copy constructor _without_ reference/pointer was legal,
you will have:

1) first the new Complex c3 is allocated,

2) another new Complex, the c3 copy constructor parameter value c, is allocated.

3) instead of directly copying c2 memory to c, there is the c copy constructor to call (with a copy of c2 as parameter value)

4) another new Complex c_bis, the c copy constructor parameter value (c), is allocated.

5) instead of directly copying c2 memory to c_bis there is the c_bis copy constructor to call (with a copy of c2 as parameter value)

6) another new Complex c_bis_bis is allocated ... etc.

the problem is that a copy constructor is _implicitly_ called to create a copy, which transform a pass by value semantic in an infinite loop of allocations on the stack.

hope this help.

What you're missing is the effect of brand visibility on people's internal thought processes. When you see something regularly, you internally gain a sense of permanence about the item as if it's a naturally-occurring part of the environment. This creates a floor for the brand's perception. It may not be a "I'll go out and buy it now" floor or even an "I'll choose that brand when a purchase decision is made" floor, but it will certainly be "I've heard of that brand" and possibly even "that brand is probably the market leader." For products which are undifferentiated, or for which buyers lack deep insight, that can be a strong advantage.

It's also not an entirely logic-free assumption to make. If a brand can afford prominent and consistent advertising over a multi-year period then you can reasonably assume that it's making enough money to sustain its existence. That makes a costly, long-running ad campaign a decent proxy signal for market strength and/or social proof. Is it 100% accurate? Definitely not, but none of this behavior by the consumer or the advertiser is logic-free.

Wolf of Wall Street is Scorsese, aka 'Casino'.

One of the few remaining greats.

I agree Andor has better writing.

I could be crazy, but I feel that there is a 'sanitzation' happening, and it could be a multi-faceted thing.

Of course there is 'violence' but it's generally very clean and surreal, even when they are trying really hard to make it dirty, it just feels fake.

It might even just be bland writing by people with limited life experience?

But I feel that we are all 'careful about what we say' in a way we were not before.

On Smartless and Conan all the actors just tell each other how much they 'love one aother', it's purid, a bit revolting. ('aka' I hope you consider me for you next project and don't think I'm one of the 'bad people').

Where are the deviants? Wierdos? Trolls? Odd looking people?

Just Google 'Character Actor' - and you get a long list of old guys!

Scorsese packs his films with tons of very regular looking people, and the production design embellishes but it feels very real, just part of why I think his villains are more 'scary'.

The Joe Pesci "You Think I'm Funny?" from Goodfellas is one of the most unsettling bits in cinema - and consider how simple the scene is and even the relative power dynaic of the characters. He's not the head of the mob, or even a mass murderer like 'Dahmer'.

And probaably 'globalism' aka 'global audiences' is a primary factor among others.

Anyhow - Kermit himself is a classic case.

Have a look at this classic Kermit and Cookie Monster, the later throws a wrench into Kermits thing and he gets pissed. For some reason that level of emotional reality just does not exist on Barney or Paw Patrol.

Watching Paw Patrol feels dystopian, I watch my newphews watching that and it feels more like a 'visual opioid' than anything else.

I think it’s an interesting idea and look forward to future work, but I don’t think the current results are much better than random.

I don’t really understand the features your model has learned but I’d start by trying to understand those features.

Music is highly structured and reasonably well organized already. Understanding if your model learned any features that map to metrics used by humans is an important question. If the answer is “no” then I’d wonder if it’s actually achieving anything beyond random number generation.

—-edit—-
I went back and tried modern pop. Which I believe it has learned better, although all of the music there sounds so similar maybe that is just a result of the small sample I tried.
I can recommend the book “Attention Merchants” by Tim Wu.

Ask HN: Apart from Expensify, anyone else using BedrockDB in production?
I am evaluating FoundationDB, TiKV and BedrockDB. BedrockDB really looks nice. BedrockDB is built on top of SQLite and supports MySQL protocol. So that is a huge plus. But I was wondering what is the performance like and what are the gotchas, for example:

0. What happens to the local commit if the node goes down before that commit is replicated to other nodes?

1. Does the DB support multiple write nodes?

2. What is the average time it takes for a commit to be available at other nodes?

3. Under the hood it works like a blockchain, so what happens if a chain of transactions splits from the main branch? Does the DB client have to retry all those transactions again from the split chain?

What is your experience?

Also, does anyone know how to add unique constraint on a column in an existing table in SQLite?
