For your consideration, here's some evidence to the contrary. Twitter now agrees to 80% of censorship requests from various governments vs 50% previously.

>Twitter’s acquiescence to autocratic or non-liberal regimes is not an exaggeration by critics of the social network. [...] Since Musk’s takeover, the company has received 971 requests from governments (compared to only 338 in the six-month period from October 2021 to April 2022), fully acceding to 808 of them and partially acceding to 154. In the year prior to Musk taking control, Twitter agreed to 50% of such requests, in line with the compliance rate indicated in the company’s last transparency report (none have been published since October 2022). Following the change of ownership, that figure has risen to 83%, according to the analysis of the data by the technology information portal Rest of World.

[Very skeptical of this. I'm not sure if the redaction is very confusing or it's just wrong.]

Anyway, ...

Later they talk only about single molecules instead of droplets. I think they only talk about droplets in the introduction of the press release, not the actual paper.

UV rays can remove electrons and create charged molecules. Also, molecule collisions sometimes create charged molecules (it's similar to rubbing fur and glass, but in a smaller scale). And storm lightning also create and create charged molecules. I'm not sure which one create most of them.

After the charged molecule interacts it will lose it charge, so IIUC they assume that the there will be some method to replace the air with uncharged molecules with new air with charged one, like breeze (I guess a fan will need too much electricity). Anyway, this will make it very difficult to stack too much of this device and keep a nice air flow.

China's PPP GDP (which is a more accurate measure of the total size of an economy) is already somewhat larger than that of the US.

Slower growth still means about 5% GDP growth per year, which is much higher than growth in developed economies.

The "demographic collapse" is a gradual decline in population over many decades, offset by vastly improved education among the younger generation entering the workforce. Just to give you an illustrative example, if three workers with 8 years of schooling retire from the workforce, and two workers with college degrees enter the workforce, is that a demographic collapse?
There is a reason: chips are costlier to manufacture now on a per-transistor basis. As Jensen says, Moore’s Law in its original economic sense is dead.
At some point I was interested in learning to read and write proofs.

I did the "Introduction to Mathematical Thinking" MOOC from Keith Devlin. The curriculum is available as a book as well.

The class is basically how to write and read proofs for non-math majors. It starts pretty slow, but gets harder at some point. The number theory proofs were fun.

You 'got to' grade others proofs online, and they graded yours which was an interesting way to get familiar with reading and writing proofs.

I recommend it because instead of an area of math it focuses on what it means to prove something. And the teacher is pretty entertaining.

I've never used tape on a regular basis but when I have I've had terrible experiences with low end tapes. I got kicked out of the computer center at my Alma Mater because I created a bunch of newsgroups. They (said that they) handed me my files on a SunTape that seemed to be empty when I tried to restore it later.

A few years later I got a QIC tape for my 486 PC and had similar experiences. There was even the time I tried to restore a several kb configuration file from a Tivoli tape robot and was quoted that it would take 18 hours and figured I could recreate it in much less time.

If I did it all the time I'm sure I would do better, but 2 out of 3 times or so I had tape backups fail on me, contrast that to almost always being able to read HDDs, even if there is some bit rot.

Gotta say, the "takes" I've read on HN while this has been going on have been illuminating. If quite a few people believe this is a "both sides" thing and that both parties are playing games with the debt ceiling, it explains how the GOP could possibly think it's sound strategy. I guess maybe they're even right.

Great article however the deeper problem is this bubble actually started way before RTB was common place. I’m referring to how one simple phrase “if it bleeds it leads” realized the full power of shock. In modern time this was applied to every other emotion under the sun with the VAD model (valence, arousal, dominance).

Most forward thinkers are finally understanding memetics, classical conditioning, and the feverish cycle of media consumption that never fulfills. Smart people are turning a blind eye to the blatant manipulation of thought.

So yes, it’s very obvious the sub issue of antitrust needs to be addressed but not without addressing the root issue as well. We have reached peak valence, arousal, and dominance with media and prioritizing ones mental health over this addiction is key to productivity and success.

Exactly. The budget itself is a law that the executive is required to carry out. If Congress passes contradictory laws, the president has to make a decision on which to obey, and is supposed to do whatever gives him the least arbitrary power. Just following the budget is less arbitrary than effectively wielding a line-item veto by deciding which items get funded.

Then the economy will carry on, and if the GOP sues and actually wins, it will be very clear that they were the ones who blew it up. I doubt they'd be dumb enough to carry through with that.

Generally I like YouTube shorts (at least compared to my tiktok feed which is not tailored to my tastes at all) but I'm really annoyed by the lack of a volume slider in the desktop shorts player.
It took me a long tome to mostly get over this, but a turning point was realizing how temporal code is. It’s written in a snapshot in time, to solve a problem that may evolve hour by hour, competing with dozens of other tasks also needing attention.

So what you produced in that maelstrom is really just a reflection of the moment, not of you.

This also helps me not judge other peoples' code. I only see the outcome (the code), not all of the inputs so it's hard to know if this is good work or not in a "is this person good at their job sense" (though obviously there is better and worse code).
WinZIP 8.0 goes back to 2000, so I think it's even older than that for earlier versions. Several mentions here of WinRAR, but didn't see WinZIP yet.

> Segments would be converted more towards their 64-bit extremely attenuated mode, rather than the more robust functionality they have right now.

Which, ten years down the line, should free up a bit more opcode space when they decide to no longer support CS/DS/ES/SS segment prefixes. The space could be used for instructions that are the same in 32-bit and 64-bit modes.

The primary ("first byte") opcode space is quite busy in 32-bit mode. Intel and AMD figured out a way to "hide" extra instruction prefixes in illegal modes of certain 16/32-bit instructions. Intel did this with the VEX prefix and AMD did it with the XOP prefix. The instructions they chose were LES/LDS and POP. This is the reason why some of the bits in those multi-byte prefixes have to be inverted, btw.

Having 4 clean bytes available with no need for such silly games should prove useful in the future.

The 4 string I/O instructions they suggest removing will be useful immediately.

Removing all ring 3 I/O instructions (also part of the plan) will free up 8 further bytes in the primary opcode map for user space code. This could perhaps be used to provide shorter aliases of certain existing encodings -- so the instructions in question would still be available for kernels but applications would see better encoding density.

And then there is the 67h byte being freed as well due to removing address size overrides.

If they are sensible, they will also remove the BOUND instruction from 32-bit mode, but that is not in the current version of the plan.

So what are the benefits?

Free space in the primary opcode map => better encoding density... and they might not be doing this to give us shorter programs. They might be doing this so the parallel instruction decoders can handle more instructions per cycle.

Getting rid of 16-bit data will make the data flow engine in future CPUs simpler (no more partial register stalls).

They also get to remove lots and lots of special cases that undoubtedly cost engineering time and validation time.
This is a great and underappreciated point: the person giving the criticism has a lot of power in determining whether or not you take it personally. I would add that having good mentors who give criticism in this way also helps you to internalize the separation between yourself and your work, so that it's easier to take harsh criticism later in life.

That's partly because Microsoft had support for ia32 (x86) and ia64 (Itanium). So amd64 was to differentiate the architecture (and it was unclear Intel would ever extend x86).

>> Historian Geoffrey Roberts recently wrote: “Could war have been prevented by a Russian-Western deal that halted NATO expansion and neutralised Ukraine in return for solid guarantees of Ukrainian independence and sovereignty? Quite possibly.”

Neither the US nor Russia trust each other enough to make neutrality guarantees.

And Europe wasn't militarily aggressive and strong enough to vouchsafe it either.

And it still would have left the "ethnic Russians and non-Russians in Ukraine" problem unresolved.

Historically, "neutral country between superpowers + casus belli" hasn't ended well.
Yeh and the original had a FireWire port too!
the answer seems to be (from the 48 laws of power):

If the world is like a giant scheming court and we are trapped inside it, there is no use in trying to opt out of the game. That will only render you powerless, and powerlessness will make you miserable. Instead of struggling against the inevitable, instead of arguing and whining and feeling guilty, it is far better to excel at power. In fact, the better you are at dealing with power, the better friend, lover, husband, wife, and person you become.
