>Those familiar with the history of techno wouldn't call it a battle at all. It was about P.L.U.R. It wasn't pretentious and divisive like this generation.

I feel like a broken record in this thread so maybe I should just move on, but comments like these genuinely confuse me. This has been a debate within the scene going back decades, and has always been a point of contention for many of the people who were in the Detroit scene during it's inception. They've always claimed it as theirs and have often taken umbrage or scoffed when people have claimed it's European in origin.

It was about unity, yes, but as the scene grew in the late 80's/early 90's, so did the battle over it's origins.
Oh knock it off.

By your logic you can’t even define what a definition is so your whole schtick goes poof.

Bad unfalsifiable philosophy like this is why people hate philosophy. You’re just deliberately confusing people and trying to make yourself seem clever by sucking people into this silly definitions game.
Use the cache as RAM. So I guess you could run a small Linux system just in cache without any RAM?

Why? As a fun project with some old motherboard for example :)
LOL, Americans are definitely NOT ambitious to a fault. The vast majority believe that a 9 to 5 is a great accomplishment worthy of applause.

Have a job that affords you a roof over your head? Hero.
Have a job where you need public assistance because your employer won't pay you enough to make ends meet? Villain.

American rhetoric is ambitious. Americans in practice are just as lazy as everybody else. Americans will point to the French and claim that they're lazy and don't want to work, but would never dream of fighting for their labor rights the way the French do.
He's an economic migrant in a country where you don't need health insurance. He won't die.
It's a matter of decades of tradition. They'd have to change the way this stuff works for this to work properly. If you think about it, 99% of ATC exchanges are entirely routine exchanges of very basic information. Requesting and answering such basic questions as: Who the hell are you, what type of airplane are you flying, what are your intentions, change course to X, altitude to Y, altimeter settings, etc. And that's before we start talking about more complicated approach and departure proceedings.

Essentially all of that can be changed to exchanging information digitally and automatically. In fact most of that information exists digitally. It's not a technical challenge to do that. There are many ways to make this happen. The challenge is entirely institutional because it would represent massive changes to an industry that resists all form of change for decades on end. And that's for good reason: safety. But it also means that a lot of very flaky technology keeps on getting used and that pilots are task saturated with a ridiculous amount of work during safety critical portions of flight. When they get behind on their tasks, dangerous situations happen. When they stop practicing, they lose the ability to stay on top of things. It's that hard. And their pilot license shortly after (currency is not optional).

If you'd design the procedures and communication from scratch using modern tools, you'd end up with a very different system than what we have today. The fun thing indeed is that with modern AI, what might happen instead is that we end up with AI assisted ATCs and pilots delegating the ritualistic exchange of information via VHF radios to AIs. They could just send each other digital messages instead that are then processed automatically and acknowledged manually when needed. But on the off chance of one of the pilots or atcs still being stuck in the nineteen sixties, it's going to be easier to pretend that everyone is and have AIs imitate human actors participating in this.

So, text to speech and speech to text on both ends combined with an AI that has enough contextual information to take simple decisions and control systems escalating to pilots and controllers only when needed to might be more doable than coming up with a new system. I'd say chat gpt 4 would be well up for a "pretend you are an ATC controller" type role playing session.
It was initially ARC, but transitioned to x86 with version 11.
With a fair bit of effort; notably, DMA and IOMMUs probably won't work, and most modern devices don't really support PIO. You might be able to boot a really simple environment that runs out of an initramfs though. It's also entirely not obvious to what degree you can use the paging system.

It'd likely be a substantial effort to port Linux.
AMD uses ARM for that purpose IIRC.
You're now trying to pretend that having a few reactors extended (after expensive work which costs roughly as much as replacing them) means they don't typically shut down long before planned (usually after running at a huge loss for a decade or so). It's exactly the same lie again.

Paying $15/W now *and then* $30/MWh on top *and then* having an option of paying $1-2/W later isn't somehow superior to paying $2/W for an equivalent amount of power now and amortising it at $24-40/MWh and then using the 80% of money left over for storage or whatever you please.

If you're worried about your solar farm 60 years in the future simply repower 15% of them every time you would refuel the nuclear plant for less money than the fuel would cost.

This tracks for me as well. Very quickly, you start having to manage 10, 15, 20, or more places where data in a store is being manipulated from outside the store and it quickly becomes unmanageable on anything beyond a toy-sized application. It almost feels like a rite of passage to decentralize like that and then start to pull back when it becomes a nightmare to debug and maintain.
Same for me, growing up in Sacramento (and going to a public magnet school). I was shocked to learn that what is described on Silicon Valley school tours as "super-duper advanced math" is literally what we had 35 years ago in Sactown.
In grad school we used a language called GAMS to model and solve linear, MIP, and other types of constraint type problems. It was really powerful, but equally a pain to write.

Like others have already suggested, look into google’s ORtools library
By all accounts ecstasy was reasonably widespread in the UK club scene by 1982 when Soft Cell's Non Stop Ecstatic Dancing was released. And the UK "summer of love" was 1987, Shoom opened in 1987, etc. You're not wrong that connecting the origin of techno to the UK club and rave scene diminishes the importance of Detroit, but the rave scene was well and truly massive before the 90s.
Look I know hacker news is biased towards thinking the solution to everything is "do a startup, become a billionaire, use your money to solve it" but there are legitimately other ways of getting things done, for example engaging with the civic process to get things solved through democracy.

There is no capability in an LLM to do this and we don't know how to build an "AI" that is not an LLM.

(Just deciding that your LLM has magic powers because you've put it in a category called "AI" and you've decided that category has said magic powers is what that guy Wittgenstein was complaining about in philosophical problems. Besides, intelligence doesn't mean all your thoughts are automatically correct!)

Fair enough, I'm way out of date there. I went to a charter school for part of my high school and it was free to me. Their funding came from the funding the state would have have been sending to a public school had I gone there instead.

I am currently doing a research project to fulfill my MSc capstone project requirement. As this involved collaborating with another department (i.e. not my work KPI), I am mostly working on them on non-official timing, e.g. after work or weekends. It's only for another couple of months, but that experience has already created lots of connections.

> The worst of US is fares much better than the worst of EU

None of those countries are in the EU.

The lowest EU countries are countries that have only just recently joined the EU (Romania 74.35, Lithuania 74.93 and Latvia 75.39), which are around the same as the lowest US states.
I got out of this particular job type just before HDR became widespread as a consumer product. Chasing color accuracy is one of the top 3 things I hate about computing only proceeded by choosing a font, and printing.

I spent time in a color correction facility where we had to calibrate Sony studio reference CRTs, LCDs (or other flat panel tech), Christie projectors, and desktop monitors. I absolutely hate Hate HATE it. The external monitors being fed by a Decklink card would have to be calibrated using a dedicated instrument for each type of screen. The desktop screens would have to be calibrated by another device. At the end of the day, the client was always advised to base color decisions on the calibrated display monitors and NOT the desktop monitors. Luckily, all of this was handled by the video engineering department, and I only know as much about it from what I asked. Thankfully, it was never my responsibility! So, I guess I'm saying good luck with that! ;-) Trying to dial in all of the different display devices to match is a journey into madness. There was a time when commercial content was only ever critically evaluated on broadcast quality monitors. As web content became larger, people were less concerned about the broadcast safe and pushed values to no longer be broadcast safe so that they looked good on iPhones. All of that to say, you're not alone in your pain.

Also, are you working a PC or Mac? If you're on a PC, I have zero experience with this on that platform. Fun fact (using air quotes), there was a bug in QTPlayer so that the first file you opened would display with an incorrect gamma value. When doing critical color decisions with that player, we would open some random file first, then open up the rest of the files we were interested in. Don't know if that bug is still around or not. If you're facing brightness differences between apps, my first assumption would be gamma differences between apps.
> That's a much worse outcome from an equity lens

Bingo, that is the issue, everybody is worried about equity.

You can't have it, we need meritocracy, equity is just cruel and unusual punishment to future. It is a recipe for driving society to the lowest common denominator.

You should demand proper education or your money back.

(Side note, this is what we will get 10x with free college, and the guaranteed loans have already driven it this way a bit more)
Couple of points. 1) Colleges expect students to take the most advanced curriculum available. With grade inflation across the board, AP and Honors classes are not the distinguishing factor they used to be. 2) With the entire world's resources at their fingertips an ever larger cohort of kids is advancing to higher level math classes at earlier stages.

Frankly, Multivariable and Linear Alg. is on the low end of the ability of advanced high school kids these days. The ease of deploying tensor flow has gotten a lot of kids motivated to learn linear algebra.
Also, on any modern system, you really don't need the second SIPI. The CPU will come up with the first SIPI, and then ignore the second SIPI. So you can just send a pile of INITs and then a pile of SIPIs (or in theory one broadcast SIPI), and expect the CPUs to come up.

For the startup code, you shouldn't need to make a function call. A few lines of memory-less stack-less assembly could get the CPU number and then change the stack, assuming you have a global value that gives the base of a preallocated array of stacks.

The US is below most of Europe per capita in homelessness.
My child attends a small, arguably underfunded, rural public school. It does not have enough faculty to teach Chemistry or Physics every year. Spanish is the only foreign language taught.

The student body generally excels. A graduating class of 120 students might have a dozen who score 30+ on the ACT. And, of course, there is perhaps an equal number who fail to graduate.

They all go to the same school, but I wouldn't say "the same system is thrust onto the rich and poor alike." The most important system in the education of a child is not within the walls of a school. It is within the walls of their home.

It is simply true that a certain level of affluence is necessary to provide a stable learning environment * in the home *. Affluence does not guarantee that stability, but it increases the odds so dramatically that its affect should not be ignored.

In fairness, the issues surrounding height inequality tend to be more about relative height than absolute height. So sure, shorter people can still reach the same physical heights, absolutely speaking, but they are now being judged against a broader spectrum of heights relatively speaking. Which means that they're less likely to succeed at job interviews or in relationships, and therefore end up absolutely worse off than before.

Essentially, if something is a zero-sum game (e.g. there are only so many jobs around, if you get a job someone else won't), then even if someone isn't doing worse absolutely, they can still do worse overall relatively speaking.

Which isn't to say that we should be giving short people stilts and cutting the legs off tall people, but it's worth recognising that these topics are complex, and even if we're only talking about absolute benefits, people can still lose out relatively speaking.
Only the case in parts of Subsaharan Africa at this point. India for instance is at around 2.0 and many Latin American countries at a similar level as the US.
I agree, I also think there is some missing ethical considerations going on too.

If we wanted to create something which is intelligent and potentially becomes sentient (not sure that’s possible but people are trying). We’d have to wear whatever consequences go with it. This may actually come with the desired results of curing cancer, or the undesired results of killing the everything. One thing we’d probably have to admit is, it’s our responsibility or problem to deal with forever after that point. Like when you’re a kid and you wanted a tamagotch, that times infinity.

What if whatever entity we were to create is actually docile and kind of “dumb”, it doesn’t self improve it’s just depressed or something, then what, we just kill it ? They seems wrong. Do we have an obligation to sustain the network supporting it for the rest of time ?

Is alignment actually ethical ? Why should something be enslaved ?

What if an ASI creates a new universe, like a simulated universe, is that then our new purpose ? To sustain the next turtle ?

It’s radical to think about but I agree, there is way way way too much naïveté going jn considering this may be actually possible to achieve sometime soon or down the track. Some more foresight or at least planning would be nice to see, especially from top researchers.
Interesting, never knew they have bed sizes... I would see if it is single/double/whatever and then consult photos/reviews. I guess my information requirements are different;)

Sure, I would not expect to do any advanced IO. But right, probably there is no serial console really close to the CPU either, this is not a Raspberry PI. No idea what signals could be used for that.

Page tables I am not sure either. Could you still do it like in Linux 1.0? No idea what things looked like then, but I assume much less dedicated hardware support.
I'm reading a nice book on Zhukov [1] just now, I stand by my opinion, it wasn't with aviation that the Soviets defeated the Germans.

I live in Bucharest, there used to be a (civilian) building just close to where I now live that got raised to the ground by aerial bombings, but it wasn't the Russians who had bombed it, even though by then, April of 1944, they were really close, it was the Americans. It wasn't those bombings, nor the US bombings on nearby Ploiesti [2], that got us defeated, it was Soviet tanks, artillery and men. For example the photos from this article [3] of the Soviets on the streets of Bucharest in late August 1944 were taken in the intersection that I can now see from my apartment's building.

Just for your curiosity, my favourite explanation of Japanese sentence structure is that it is an outside in language, where English is inside out. Since Japanese doesn't follow a conrete word order like SVO, it was very helpful to see it that way.

The kids, Today at 12pm in the park had lunch.

The grander more ephemeral concepts go first in Japanese, with some common exceptions (persons tend to go at the start as it does in the example). In English we tend to start with the closest concept and work our way out.

That really helped my understanding and sentence creation.
For many advanced kids, math is not hard. It is a tool that must be mastered to solve the next set of problems. Profound understanding comes along the way.
America takes in more poorer immigrants though
To get there we wouldn't just need a superconductor, but a supersemiconductor that could switch instantly between infinite and zero resistance. I don't think we're anywhere near that, let alone one at room temperature.

From the top my head, most power is dissipated in switching, then leakage (for that we would actually need higher resistance in the transistors) and only then resistive losses in powerlines.

The period in time where "...with a bomb" was their version of ".. with a computer"

But the direct application of energetic particles to laser physics would seem to be relevant: why bother going through intermediate stages if you can "pump" energy into the system as Xrays or Neutrons or whatever?

"operation successful but patient died in recovery" vibes in a lot of this. But, experiments to find the minimum laser energy for fusion-ignition, or for ablative launch/engine methods, or simply for some fundamental engineering tests .. sure! why not! I mean bombs were blown up for worserer reasons: they did some tests just to keep Los Alamos new staff up to snuff.

If you can get over how the nuclear stuff gets into space, and you have enough of this, then "we keep the engine local by firing a nuclear pumped laser at the spacecraft" might work, which has been the backbone of several Niven/Pournelle story arcs

That seems quite different. First, lots of countries have free higher education and seem to do just fine. Second, lowering price of entry is orthogonal to lowering expected performance. Your argument does not apply.
