Typically in SIMT, all lanes in a "simd" (aka subgroup in Vulkanspeak) share the same program counter. However, there is an execution mask so not all lanes are active. Thus, to simulate "if A then B else C", you evaluate A for each lane to derive a mask, jump to C if the mask is empty, evaluate B only for the enabled lanes, invert the mask, skip over C if the mask is then empty, and evaluate C only for the enabled lanes. Loops also work, with similar logic (the real loop terminates when the predicate is false for all lanes).

Critical race theory isn't critical theory, as you know.

Critical race theory qua critical race theory is a legal theory that explores the ways in which critical legal studies --- itself a separate concept from critical theory --- fails to account for the varied ways in which the US legal system fucks over Black people. It is not, in fact, a general theory of why white people are evil. In fact, some of the earliest/most influential critical race theory papers try, in a sense, to ask critical legal theorists to dial it back a little bit. You should read Crenshaw; those papers aren't the caricature subliterate culture warriors want them to be.

Critical race theory qua "CRT" is a meaningless culture war slur/valediction, and a strong signal that whoever's non-ironically using it (whether from the left or the right) isn't operating in good faith.

The problem with the way you operate in these discussions is that it's very clear that you want "liberals" to occupy luridly stupid positions, like "the true purpose of all US institutions, which we as liberals support wholeheartedly, is to suppress white people". And, if you go looking for people to hold those positions, you'll find them (often because, like DiAngelo, they're looking to make a buck off it). There are people occupying every lurid position. We contain multitudes.

That's no way to have a curious conversation.

Late edit

I wrote "critical legal theory" where I meant "critical legal studies". Might as well get the names right myself.

Although I have no specific complaint about this book, I actually didn't enjoy reading it as much as I had hoped, when it first came out. Leo Marks somehow just didn't make me want to read more, where Solly Zuckerman's book "from apes to warlords" which is about Operations Research and the bombing campaign in part totally did. Also R.V. Jones "most secret war" is a damn fine read.

If I remember it right, Leo Marks is the one who proved to the French their codes were completely bogus by breaking them, in front of their eyes with pen and paper. I bet they hated it, but it may have been highly beneficial it was irrefutable.

I actually screwed that up, we only have 3 total software engineers. Including myself.

We do have other employees who maintain the hardware, on-call DBAs to manage issues, etc. I'm only speaking to the software engineers.

And we have lots of hardware and lots of open-source solutions that handle the actual calls.

I'm full-stack but lead on the front-end, a complex Angular application to manage everything from huge call centers to small restaurants.

We have C# for APIs, cloud Oracle for the database, and a whole slew of other software and services to manage the actual calls.

Each of us is specialized in specific parts. Our up-time is tremendous given the amount of code we've written. It's extremely stable.

I've been at this 20+ years, as have the other 2. We know enough between us to get this done.

I've never been called after normal work hours. We release the updated front-end every week and haven't had any issues. And a lot of changes/improvements go into that ... that's a lot of my job.

It's well-architectured, well-tested, fault-tolerant software.

An SAP consultant once told me that they had a term that can roughly translate to "make a crowd" (sorry, no idea about the actual phrase used by consultants in English speaking countries, if there is one). It basically means that whenever a big customer have an issue, they send more people than actually needed, and one senior consultant works on solving the problem while others just walk around and look busy. It gives the impression that they are taking the issue seriously.

>On my Thinkpad X1 Carbon, Windows still displays the wrong time with Google searches leading to no solution.

Were you dual booting Windows and Linux?

Linux assumes and sets the system clock to UTC, while Windows assumes and sets the system clock to local timezone. This quite often leads to one of the two incorrectly determining the time because of an incorrect assumption.

As for my personal experience, Linux is cursed. The thing breaks down if I so much as look at it weird; I don't trust anything mission critical to it anymore.

Windows, besides being practical and versatile and customizable, has been a paragon of reliability for me. Even Windows ME performed admirably for me way back in the day; no, I'm not joking.
This. Fastify is so great. Unfortunately, the documentation became worse after v2 because Matteo was too laissez-faire in approving new doc contributions.

Imo the docs need a major re-write, beginning at "getting started". New users don't know whether they should use "fastify-cli gen", "npm init fastify" or copy manually from the "getting started"-guide.

And people also tried to push their fastify-plugins to the top of the plugins-site by adding a "@username" for every plugin: https://i.imgur.com/hHyI6JO.png (left are the old docs, right are the current docs where ppl try to game the system).

Also, fastify-cli needs to rework the custom options in typescript projects imo.

Ok, that's all. Other than that, fastify rocks!
They make a lot more money on iOS, so it's a sensible business decision to spend less engineering resources on Android.
Yep same.

I work for a telco that runs a national physical phone network, a high-speed home Internet fibre network in about a third of the country, retail stores across the country, call centers, a full sales & marketing team, plus a huge IT operation, and we are less than a third of that headcount.

To be fair, Meta is a global business with billions of users, so I'm sure it takes people to run all that, but it's still hard to rationalize.
I'm sorry to point out that the first 5.0 alpha came out in 2014 and still hasn't been released. When people talk about the ecosystem/battle-tested-ness/quality of express I think that unfortunately doesn't extend to anything other than the latest major on npm. It's not "modern" but it's still a good tool.

Or that every other 100K+ employee tech company has become sluggish, moribund, and then eventually faded away.

It makes a lot of sense when you consider the incentives of all the individuals involved. Individual line managers think "I need more headcount so I can increase my scope of responsibility and get promoted," and go to their directors with "These are all the cool new projects we could be undertaking if only we had headcount." Directors think "If I don't provide career-advancement opportunities for my best managers, they'll leave for a competitor and the best engineers will follow them, and my carefully-constructed org will collapse", then go to finance with "These are all the cool new projects we could be undertaking if only we had budget." Finance people look at the negative real interest rates that were present in 2020-2022, think "Just about any project that has any chance of generating additional usage or revenue beats the 2% nominal and -6% real returns we can get from the market, so these project ideas look pretty good" and tells the CEO "Our best bet is to invest in the company itself, so we are going to greenlight all the headcount requests."
When I was younger, I was impressed by the technical feat of demos like this.

There is no solution to what you want really, which is informed users. Users don't always care to be informed, and shoving a consent dialog in their faces has been a grand experiment that proves this.

Anecdotal story, but the CEO of a company I worked for in the past told department managers to fire one person (exactly one, from each department) because they needed to reduce head count. That strategy sounds pretty random to me.
Yes, but most countries in general have lower tertiary education rates.

If I too were to play the data cherry picking game, I could point out that Norway is at 55%.

How does that prove anything?

It just disproves your unfounded assertion:

> Every free college country sends less of their people through college than the US

I really fail to see how any of this proves any causality between free college and lower or higher education rates.

But it seems you enjoy shifting goalposts, so perhaps we should end it here?
It arguably is trivial to fix, if you prioritise fixing this. If you say OK, we want to offer safety first and features are only a nice-to-have, you can make that happen.

Apple have as usual decided that nope, some of their features are a must have and if safety has to be sacrificed to get features well, sucks to be you getting exploited.

Something like Swift isn't up to it. It's less easy to blow your foot off than if you wrote C++ but necessarily (as a general purpose language) you can do it. But what if we give up generality? Languages like WUFFS give up general purpose programming, solving only a narrow problem but doing so with cast iron safety because they're able to prove the system always has valid state. This is entirely appropriate when (as so often) we didn't really need generality, which means having it is a gift for bad guys.

"Lockdown mode" should have begun with stuff that's definitely safe, rather than just arbitrarily picking a smaller set of features in the hope that the smaller surface can be more easily defended.
apparently you can project directly with CLIP. See here - https://llava-vl.github.io/. This seems pretty wild to me.
>There's no point in creating/producing anything as almost anything can be produced by anyone, at incredible quality, at no cost and with little skill.

Does this imply that some significant portion of art "value" is derived from scarcity (e.g. there is more value to creating/producing art when a smaller portion of the population can do so)?

From a strictly financial sense that makes sense, but it does seem morally at-odds with anything that makes art easier for humans to produce.

Is it "good" or "bad" to enable a larger population to produce more art?

Is it "good" or "bad" to enable a larger population to produce higher quality art?

Culturally, both seem like they'd be good. In our current economic model, they're probably both bad.

With an economic model that supports artists financially and removes the need to transmute "art" into "money", I don't think we'd see human culture wiped out. Without a financial incentive to create art, what's the point in creating/producing anything if not to contribute to human culture?

Hey, i wrote this post ages ago :-).

Some minor updates since then:

Since then i also tried Qt Creator and while it feels more clunky than even the original Borland C++ Builder, especially with the form designer (which i think is basically the standardalone Qt Designer embedded in it) and how it doesn't feel like a coherent product but a mashup of different bits and pieces, it is probably the closest you can find in open source for a RAD(-ish) C++ IDE (big caveat that i have only used it sparingly, never made anything more than a few toy apps with it). I am a bit worried that you're still relying on the Qt company which has shown hostility towards the open source community several times but i think that between Embarcadero and Qt company, relying on the latter is better and it is popular enough for external developers to pick it up in case it gets abandoned (the benefit of it being FLOSS).

But at the end i still think Lazarus is better when it comes to a RAD IDE and framework (i am taking all three of these combined, not separated) for desktop applications, assuming you do not mind using Free Pascal as the language. Of course that is with my big bias since i learned programming on Turbo Pascal, used Delphi in the 90s, use Lazarus since the 2000s and in recent years even contribute to its development. Someone starting nowadays will most likely have a harder time getting used to it and the documentation could certainly be better.
I wonder if this triggered the recent layoffs?
Thanks. I understand it's kinda niche field nowadays. At least I can still pursue it as a hobby.
EDI, PDF, and ACPI DSDT AML are provably worse "standards" as "standards" go.

Forking implies a problem in one or more areas:

- governance

- usability (documentation and examples)

- potentially NIH-syndrome

protobufs, capnproto, flatbuffers, thrift, msgpack, erlang terms, BSON, java class files, and more exist to scratch itches that are not universally scratchable. You can't argue with the readability, portability, simplicity, or usability of JSON.. although you can argue with it's low density and parsing cost.

What's missing generally in computer science, software engineering, and systems engineering is standardization down to a minimal, feature-complete subset of interchange formats, protocols, and APIs in the spirit of professionalizing and standardizing the industry with trusted conventions. The issue has been raised many times over the past 60 years, but at some point, there needs to be more than the rare bird of "professional engineering" licensure and too common and useless A+ certifications.

I like DNSSEC and DANE because the combination adds another security layer to corroborate what PKI says. If browsers adopted it, it would be widely deployed to web-facing services. Like GPG, it has a UX problem and is a PITA to setup. (Sadly, a major DNSSEC multi browser extension effort shutdown.) I thought we were pro defense-in-depth rather than less security, so I don't understand the hate DNSSEC receives because it's not an alternative so much as a secondary trust-supporting mechanism.

Disclaimer: I run PKI at home where every machine has 802.11x certs, every "intranet" has a cert from an intermediate cert, and every service like vSphere has its own subordinate signing cert. I keep meaning to migrate over to FreeIPA with Dogtag.

The problem with comparing corporations with governments, is that corporations are (1) ephemeral and (2) have clearer measurable objective functions (profit). The government should do things that are inefficient and unprofitable. Note that services can both provide value and be unprofitable (they can generate value but not capture it). A corporation that needs to cut costs can layoff workers. A government that is dealing with large unemployment can't just do a genocide.

All of this is to say is that even though large corporations and large governments are alike, the most efficient solution for a corporation (bankruptcy) is not a good solution for government and so despite the inefficiencies we are sort of forced to accept them as the engineering realities of the situation. I fully understand large governments have large government problems, I just don't agree with the notion that having a smaller government is a solution and that the small government meme has largely been toxic to the detriment of the middle class.
Regenerative farming stores carbon in the soil, reduces greatly the need for petrochemical feedstocks as fertilizer, and is nearly as productive as existing industrial techniques... and you get livestock as well. The increased soil depth improves water retention, preventing erosion and resisting drought. Constant soil cover reduces evaporation and lowers soil temperatures.

It's win/win.
