x86-64 still requires Task State Segments (TSS), but it doesn't support using them for their original primary purpose of task switching; rather, they are needed for changing stacks when switching between user and kernel mode.

In the original 386 design, the OS kernel would create a separate TSS for each OS process. In x86-64's vestigial use of the concept, there is a single TSS for each CPU, and every process running on that CPU shares the same TSS.
Thanks, this is a great explanation.
This appears to reinforce what I wrote rather than refuting it. Mozilla graciously performed the legal legwork of forming an entity capable of collecting donations earmarked for the Thunderbird developers. However, as far as I can tell, this does not imply that any Mozilla developers actually work on Thunderbird (as part of their job at Mozilla, anyway), nor does it imply that Mozilla is setting the direction of the project.
I think the problem is it is unethical to do the kinds of experiments necessary to come up with any certain facts in the field of nutrition.

At a minimum, you would need to force people to eat a certain diet, with no option to sneak in a few snacks while the researchers aren't watching.

And you probably need to do this for a whole generation (ie. from birth until death) to really get good data to prove that diet X leads to better outcomes than diet Y.
Well it is not unlike criticising an artist's paintings. The things you make are a mirror of who you are because you use your life experiences, knowledge, and preferences to make them. By criticizing what you make, they are also criticizing you by proxy.

Now sure it depends on the type of criticism in question. Finding a bug or other practical problems obviously isn't, but talking shit about a way something is arbitrarily set up that the author thought was really neat would absolutely be.

This line of thinking also reminds me of how every time some actor or director or whatever is implicated in some scandal, their work is also tainted forever instead of being taken at face value for what it is. Can we separate the artist from their art? Is it even possible? I doubt it.
Well, that's good news at least. But still, 7 years from consultation to passage through parliament is far too long!
I get that everyone has different expectations, for a relevant number of people a restaurant is a place to eat nice food in the best state.

The US is something else altogether of course, but I can't rememeber many restaurants where I thought having a waiter a positive part of the experience. And I'm clearly not the only one, looking at the robot waiter development pace and actual sales data.

Right. Solely so it can support DEC Alpha! I'm not saying data dependence has never been an ordering constraint, I'm saying it was only an ordering constraint on an ancient platform that thus doesn't belong in the standard.

And by extension I'm saying that you people talking about standards instead of hardware are needlessly (frankly: deliberately and obfuscatorily) obscuring that clear truth.
You are judging yourself and others in the wrong way and have bought into the falsehood that people are good or bad based on performance. You therefore take criticism as a threat to your virtue. Don’t judge yourself or others by performance. Once you’ve fixed that problem with the way you view others, it will also fix your own self esteem problems.

Your code is bad sometimes, so is everyone else around you. I've seen people who have been doing this for 30 years and think they are gods because they refuse criticism. In reality all they are doing is creating an environment of hostility and suffering because while they were awarded the seniority they hadn't earned the responsibility to own it until they can admit the first critical step

All code sucks, your job isn't to make great code it's to make great products and do your best to reduce the stress on your team, code quality will follow but first you have to be honest, open, and compassionate and sometimes a JR will take that personally and that's ok, eventually they won't or they will find out this industry isn't for them.

thanks for sharing! excited to launch this 2-in-1 podcast where we recap what we learned from both Codium and Auto-GPT this past week. my favorite learning was simply getting to know both teams on a personal basis and learning that they care as much about AI safety as the average developer.

enjoy and AMA!
This entry very casually goes from describing FP8 and then E4M3 and E5M2, to suddenly talking about FP4. It describes the demonstration of having the mantissa bits "1101" but that by itself is four bits. Unless it's including the implicit leading 1 but even then that leaves just 1 bit for the sign. So no exponent bits at all? Then later it gives an example with zero mantissa bits. ?

Are there any decent but easily digest summaries of FP4? The best I can find is a giant paper. I do not understand why the linked entry gave great summaries of the larger FP types but then waves hand / fog about FP4.
Phthalates? Aren't those currently an issue, right now, in water? Aren't they currently being used in plastic? Or did I get the name wrong?
What works for me is to just ask everyone for everything that is not great with my code and really encourage them not to hold back. By doing it this way I get a lot of great feedback, and it gets less dramatic somehow.
If people can sense that you can't take this kind of feedback they will behave differently and you might pick up that they are unconfortable, making you feel like you suck even more :D
Good luck

That is not terribly surprising. The cheap tape drives of that era were very picky like that. Even if I had the same tape drive as a friend it was not always certain that I could read back my tape on his box and the other way around. These drives were very affordable and the tapes were low priced as well. However, they were really designed for the 'oh no I messed up my computer let me restore it' or 'I deleted a file I should not have' scenarios. Not server side backup rotation solutions. Unless that was the backup/restore computer. Long term storage or off site type drives were decently more pricy.

My guess is they lack the RAM buffer and CPU to properly keep up correctly. Then with a side of assumptions on the software side.
Well, one of the latest.

Steve Jobs, Bill Gates attended to university. But very early, both realized they don't need an university.

Independent people know it upfront, they don't need a boss. Usually they then found a company. A friend of my started a business, direct after out studies. It doesn't have anything in common, what we both studied. Did he need studying?

Others are working, accumulate knowledge in their area, having a good opportunity and idea allowing them to build up a business.

So. To be able to answer your question properly, I need a definition what an independent person is. And some explanation, what a university has to do with an independent person.

But in my experience, people who don't attend university/ higher education are lack of experience in problem solving. So, independent, no university, but, sorry, stupid in terms of solving problems.

It's probably a bit late now. But be deliberate in your choices. So if you get critique of them you have a reason and a new view to grapple with.
If you follow trends, or just do what others did because thats what they did. Well then you'll find critique hard because you were just a follower. But if you made a choice, cut a corner because of a reason, and got called out on it then you can reflect on that and all of the ego stuff just slides away.
I solved it this way, because a bad solution now was better than a great solution two days from now etc etc.

I certainly would never have tried to get a C compiler (even a subset) so small since it my instinct would have been that it was not possible.
First, think about if want to do good work (that you can say this is good).

How to know if you are not convinced of that? If it feels like you need courage to fix or redo something. Similarly, if you boast about your courage.

To me that's the difference between an A and B player, both are good but for B doing good work is somehow painful.

To answer your question, since nobody is omniscient, realize that if you feel bad for making an honest mistake you are fighting Nature.
Could you not have a solar drone barge for a fast charge mid-trip, extending the operating range by double? Seems like a simple way to bridge the gap until higher battery density is available.

For a 360 mile trip, adding 45 minutes for a fast charge (in certain this could be reduced to <25 minutes with modern battery architecture) would still net you out much faster than an train or short haul flight inclusive of airport time on both ends.

This brings LA->SF journey well within reach.

> You'll find that the people that break down at the slightest criticism the most are those that were criticised the most as children as well. Those that had no room for being anything other than perfect. Where value was obtained from performance.

It took me a long time to realize this applied to me. I don't ever remember explicitly being criticised as a child but I reached adulthood with a wicked need for perfection and "achievement" and a subconscious aversion to criticism. I still find it hard to feel valid and valuable in the world other than through work. But all of these behaviors have undoubtedly held me back in work and relationships.
is GPT4 a graph neural network? also, isn't it training time and data dependent how big (how many tokens) a problem it can tackle?

so it's great that it can reason better than humans on small-medium probems already well trained for, but so far Transformers are not reasoning (not doing causal graph analysis, or not even doing zero order logic), they are eerily well writing text that has the right keywords. and of course it's very powerful and probably will be useful for many applications.

Your knowledge of these subjects is not only very weak, but comes across as dishonest as well. To the extent that if we had this exchange with our faces and reputations on the line, you'd be savaged by my words and look like a fool. I encourage you to be more humble and also to actually contest your own claims on your own in earnestness so that you can see if those claims are actually true or just edgy hot takes from some dishonest individuals you mingled with or learned from in the past.

> Physics has made no progress. It has discovered no stable facts. Everything physicist have said, they have said the opposite ten or twenty years later (if not much sooner). They literally know nothing. After a century of countless experiments, the most common, most basic problem they’ve addressed —the basic elements of particles— is completely unsolved. If they can’t figure that out, anything more sophisticated seems hopeless.

A very generic counterpoint.
I think this misses that that is ALL the nuclear station would lose by remaining online. A comparable coal/gas etc station would lose the same amount PLUS the cost of the fuel.

Also, a gas power station can be started right back up again within about 1h. It takes 12h to get a nuclear station back online (assuming no issues). So the moment they shut down they lose 12h+ of output.

(I cannot find the actual cost. In Denmark prices fell to -41.37E / MWh last week, and on that basis, a 1.6GW station (at max capacity) would lose 66k Euros / h. How much does it cost to just keep the place shut?)

That doesn't show anything incorrect though! You're just stating a requirement that the dereference to x[] happen after the load through p, which is something that can be trivially expressed using 1980's syntax by marking *p volatile. You don't need consume for that. Show me something that explains why the standard needs consume. It doesn't need consume, and I think you agree but you won't admit it.

You keep saying that somehow this isn't about alpha, but it's clear this is about alpha, because alpha needs a barrier there and volatile can't do barriers. You just... won't admit it. And per my point WAY upthread, I contend you won't admit it because you view the "standard" as the important thing and not the hardware.
