That seems to be a fantasy based on the evidence. "Very poor" and continuing large areas of sterile reef are nothing like "grown back completely".
I believe AI could make exponentially better AI but do we have any evidence that this is likely, or could happen soon? Sounding alarm bells with no understanding of how likely it is seems irresponsible.
> I was a bit puzzled by the IBM 801

That didn't show as a link when I read it (shows as a link on my current device). Apologies for the oversight; I edited my comment.

The 801 was an insightful jump from then-current trends in processor design and that insight, to me, is what RISC is all about. There were lean and orthogonal instruction sets already (most notably, to me, the PDP-6/10 and Seymour Cray's work at CDC) but the central idea of offloading a lot of heavy lifting to the compiler (and recognizing Multics' insight of writing an OS in a HLL, pointing to a practically assembly-language free future) was groundbreaking, a kind of Special Relativity of computing.
Oh, they're cranks. Being wrong does not make one a crank; it's the constant repetition of the crank theory as if the crank has some special knowledge that makes the crank aggravating, not the truth or falsity of the crank's belief.

It's perfectly possible to be a "Tom Brady is the most amazing quarterback" crank. Hey, maybe you're right. But no one wants to hear about it and the vast majority of everyone is happy to live with a little bit of ambiguity, or they don't care.

Put concisely, "speaking out" without any knowledge is among the most annoying things a person can do.
I think the big thing the RISC vs CISC wars articles always seem to miss or play down is the effect that large caches near or on-chip had in the way that people made trade offs in CPU design.

CISC (heavily encoded) instruction sets made sense when memory was very expensive (late 70s I worked somewhere where we spent >$US1M for 1.5Mb of actual core for a mainframe - reading a word took 1uS - reading an instruction was destructive, you had to write it back) heavily encoded instructions made sense because of the realities of the memory hierarchy.

As we started to move CPUs onto single chips the numbers started to change, RAS/CAS timers were ~1-300nS, caches in particular, initially off chip and eventually on chip were in the 10ns sorts of speeds, suddenly the tradeoffs between heavily encoding instructions to make them small and trading off decode time for fetch time were reasonable changes to make
Considering it is a one-time payment, it would be nice if I could use my own API key.

Although you call it a "no-tricks pricing" model, a 'one time lifetime license' for a product that I can't use the key feature of without a subscription after a year isn't a 'no-tricks pricing model'. Unless I am misunderstanding?

Although the product looks great - just maybe needs the words changing and making it clear what capabilities don't require the subscription.

Might even be better removing the term "no-tricks pricing model" too, because if anything the license model is a bit more tricksy and more ambiguous compared to most other applications imho.
Four Ways to Write a Pitch-Shifter [video]
It shouldn't. "Bible" etymologically derives from "book", and its meaning denotes an authoritative book, or "the" book on a topic.

While it is true that the "Christian Bible" has customarily been shortened to just "Bible", in principle it is appropriate to call any authoritative book that claims to be "the" book on a topic as a "Bible", without necessarily carrying any religious connotations.

That's not to say that people might not make that link mentally, but technically and etymologically speaking the term is not religious. In the same way that some people may no longer identify as gay=happy, but if you start getting offended about people acting having a "gay old time", then that would say more about your sensitivies than about how people choose to use the word in different contexts.

> -rdynamic isn't going to help libunwind, it's for glibc's built-in backtrace library which you simply shouldn't use.

-rdynamic exports global symbols from the main binary so that they're available to satisfy dependencies of dynamically linked libraries and modules. For example, a Perl or Lua interpreter, or an Apache daemon, will use -rdynamic so that its symbols can satisfy the dependencies of binary modules, rather than requiring the engine implementation to be linked via a shared library itself, which is more brittle. It's sort of midway between static and dynamic linking in terms of ensuring everybody is using the same implementation of a shared framework.
Aside from power dynamics, one of the challenges with being a whistleblower is that you are making a moral transgression with respect to your organization. One of the commonly accepted foundations of most peoples’ morality is loyalty [1]. So you are not only exposing people to legal risk and to risk of losing power and/or standing, but you are quite literally a traitor from the point of view of the organization you blew the whistle in.

Like much of the rest of the culture war US people find ourselves in, I am fearful of the disparate treatment given whistleblowers nowadays. The whistleblower divulging Trump’s call with Zelenskyy was protected by the media so much that media organizations and social media wouldn’t even allow disclosure of the name of the whistleblower (which is odd because the act itself is about transparency). The media has been in favor of leaks forever because it allows holding the powerful accountable. But the leaks by the young man on Discord are not even being examined for content (such as the revelation that US troops are on the ground in Ukraine); the US press is decrying the leaker and demanding harsh punishment for revealing secrets. I literally have never seen the media act like that before in my life.

> In case you've been living under a rock / off the grid and haven't seen the Twitter files recently, private companies not only aren't fighting back against government spying, censorship, etc - they're openly cooperating, going so far as to set up task forces to facilitate open cooperation. Why do you think Microsoft was feeding PRISM 5 years earlier than Apple?

There is so much you got wrong here, that it's hard to figure out where to begin.

1. Apple did not have any data to wiretap until people started using iCloud mail. Microsoft ran Hotmail since time immemorial. That's why they prioritized the integration of wiretap data from Microsoft first.

2. There are plenty of examples of companies challenging government orders that came from the Snowden leaks themselves. The Twitter thing is just that the government reported TOU violations to Twitter, and Twitter decided if they were violations and took action if so. The government did not have unilateral control over Twitter.

> It is followed in the letter of the law, not the spirit of the law, by a court that rubber stamps 99.97% of requests

What percent of warrants do you think are approved? You clearly have no idea how the world works. The government wouldn't waste its time asking for a court order unless it thinks the court order will be granted. If it wastes the judge's time by filing lots of requests that are illegal, the judge will punish the government for doing so.
a) The US Government uses policy to mitigate hypothetical risk all the time. b) Many of the problems AI may bring about are standard human problems that know how to measure and address, but we likely haven't seen them on this scale. For example, many people reasonably reckon that this new technology will put a lot of white collar workers out of work. That's not some amorphous newfangled philosophical problem-- we can address these problems through policy.
It seems obvious, but that kind of thing still needs to be verified with science, so we can figure out exactly how strong you need to be before there's diminishing returns and you are getting more trouble with injuries than you save with health benefits.

I've always found the direct benefits aside from the possibile long term health boosts from being stronger to be pretty moderate back when I worked out more, but I also know people who seem to get so much benefit it literally saved their life and they'd probably be suicidal without the gym, it just makes them feel that wonderful, so I'm probably the odd one out there.
Rg6 is an amazing decision (note that I didn't say it's the right one as clearly I wouldn't know). Think about it, after months of preparation and a couple weeks of playing long games, and getting so much pressure, he can take a draw with black and then play blitz. Nobody would have blame him for it.

But he realized that he has some chance for pressure, and that Ian has spent his extra time on the clock. So he puts his gloves on for the last fight. Whether or not it is the right strategy, both in this particular game and regarding the situation of the match, it shows incredible courage and fighting spirit.

Also earlier in the same game he canceled an attack realizing that he would be overextending and Ian has everything to defend. That is really really hard to do when you are attacking and had an advantage a couple moves ago, to just hold back like that.

The USSR did call itself democratic. In a sense, since it was central control for all. The USA did NOT call itself democratic -- the preferred term up to the '70s was "constitutional republic". To avoid the flattening that "democracy" was perceived to produce. The argument is that democracy ALWAYS leads to tyranny and collapse.

To quote "Both are anti-democratic". Which I don't understand. Is your claim that both systems (as practiced in the USSR and USA) led to extreme wealth concentration? Did the economy increase during this concentration? If so, do you still consider this "anti-democratic".

Human actors have been doing the voice scams for a bit. No AI needed.

The common phrasing christians use is actually "The Holy Bible", with "Holy" being a common word in the bible meaning "set apart for God". So "The Holy Bible" is that particular "Bible" (book) which has been set apart for God.

But in Hebrew, "The Torah" doesn't mean a certain book anyway. There are "The five one-part-of-five's of Torah". The Torah is like the teachings, or the postulates, or the theory.

car and cdr are deeply entrenched in the Lisp culture: in the systems, historic and past and volumes of literature. Criticizing these always reads like someone stepping off a plane on their first trip to some country, are telling the locals that their words are confusing, and maybe they should speak English.

When you see car, cdr and other related functions in Lisp code, it communicates that the code has strictly a physical interpretation, using well-known, decades-old idioms. You know exactly what it's doing with what kind of structure, and you know not to try to read any meaning into it. As to what that structure represents, what it's being used for, you have to look elsewhere; those names don't give that away. But to a Lisp hacker, spots in a program littered with car/cdr/cons/caddr/... are comfort zones.

It's good to have one set of names for this "just structure, no meaning" stuff and stick with them, than to go inventing new ones. That's more important than their specific choice. There is no end to what a cons-cell-based structure can mean, and so no end to the potential sets of better names for its parts; it's best to leave that to individual programs.

It's good that the names are short. MacCarthy saved us from awful ones. Before Lisp, there was a project called FLPL: Fortran List Processing Language. The names came from that, but in that project, for some inexplicable reason, they had XC ... RF prefixes and suffixes: XCARF, XCDRF, ... MacCarthy had the presence of mind to shorten the insane naming scheme, but not all the way to just A, D.

Mainstream Lisp dialects like Common Lisp have first and rest. Plus other names like second, third, as well as numeric indexing into a list. These names are still meaningless with regard to what a list is used for. first is no more informative than car about what is expected to be first; it's only clearer to complete neophytes who haven't gone through the 15 minute tutorial on car and cdr.

travesty:

something that is shocking, upsetting, or ridiculous because it is not what it is supposed to be

“It is a travesty and a tragedy that so many people would be denied the right to vote.”

“The investigation into the causes of the accident was a complete travesty. [=sham]”

“The trial was a travesty of justice.”

https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/travesty

On to the differences between tragedy and travesty:

> A “tragedy” is of course a dreadful event or disaster that results in sadness, injury or destruction. While a “travesty” is more of a distorted or cheap imitation of something – often applied to the debasement of something held high, such as justice, rules, ideals and so on.

Russia conquering Ukraine is now highly unlikely, but defeating Ukraine (essentially by obliterating it) remains very much within Russia's capabilities, unfortunately.

You’re missing a critical insight: Artificial selection can and does occur unintentionally, ie without methodical intent.
Regarding conditional expressions:

I found something neat recently. The coreutils version of `test` doesn't have this, and when you use `test`, typically what you're using is the coreutils one.

But if you use `builtin test` to force the bash builtin variant of `test`, this has a nice `-v` switch, which allows you to check if a variable is set.

I found out about this recently when I had to use it in my bash argument processing library, to check if an option expecting a value had not been provided a value (since checking for an empty variable instead would mean that an actual empty string would also be ignored).

I 100% agree. This is why I think that LLM's will help encourage better coding practices, not worse. The more that you can write "clean code" (things which are named correctly, follow the single responsibility pricinciple, don't violate the law of demeter, build the correct data-models/data-marts), then the easier it will be for LLM's to assist senior engineers in writing code/sql faster.

And if there is an interface given to people who will struggle to evaluate the correct-ness of something, ie: a Business Intelligence tool for people who don't know/care about the data model, then the question becomes "How can the tool facilitate getting the people who can verify the correctness of the sql/code do so in an efficient manner?" I'm thinking like a short-term pull-request, where the "code committer" is the LLM and the reviewer is a human. Said in another way: the chatbot is going in reverse, where chatgpt is asking the questions and the human gives the answers...... haha
I don't like Zuck - because he has no 'taste' and only cares about power - he even tries to model himself after Roman emperors. If we talk about VR, I would compare Zuck to Nolan Sorrento in Ready Player One.

He's trying to build the next big (and only) platform and extract as much value out of it. Zero actual vision for a massive virtual world and what it could mean for society. He isn't a James Halliday.

One notable point in there is that the thing that everyone things of when you say “RISC pipeline” (ie. MIPS) simply has to have an I-cache, because without it you simply do not have the memory bandwidth to do anything other than reading instructions.

Interesting historical fact there is that early ARM cores (and I suspect that Berkeley RISC is similar) are what one would today call CISC microarchitecture with the datapath strikingly similar to lets say m68k, but with significantly simpler sequencing logic.

Sounds like a strange take. From [1]:

Not sure if FFC gave them money (I guess yes since he's credited as executive producer), even without money, his name would've been enough to open a lot of doors.
