Here's the example:

int i = load(p, memory_order_consume);
if (i == 3) {
int y = x[i];
}

If you replace the memory_order_consume with a regular load, or a memory_order_relaxed, your code will be broken, even on x86 or ARM. The compiler can, and in this case likely will (yay constant propagation), rewrite the subsequent load in such a way that it is no longer data-dependent on the atomic load. It is not a compiler bug; if you try to report it as such, the compiler implementers will take one look at your problem report, and tell you that it is your code that is broken, use memory_order_consume. You will similarly get no sympathy from the C or C++ standards committees, for this is precisely why memory_order_consume was invented.

> Mostly: I don't believe you, I think it's you that are failing to understand the issue and not me

As someone who works on a compiler, and who sits on language standards committees, when I am explaining to you how someone who works on a compiler and who sits on language standards committees will read the standard, it's not because I fail to understand how to do so. I do realize that the way the standards are read and interpreted does not come naturally to most, which is why I gave that long explanation. Perhaps you do not wish to engage with the specification on this level of understanding. That is fine--but a consequence is that you will not be able to properly understand the reason for certain features, like memory_order_consume.

At the very least, I hope you can agree to stop spreading misinformation like "the purpose of memory_order_consume is to support the Alpha processor."

> United States did partake in the Opium trade in China, even though they were well aware of the harm, and profited from the wars the British and French fought.

True, there were US merchants which participated in supplying opium to China. Sometimes representing themselves, sometimes as proxies for British concerns. Also, an argument can be made that the East India Company operated under the influence, if not control, of the Crown. I do not believe the same argument could be made for US involvement, though I could be wrong.

However, unlike the British, the US in the Treaty of Wangxia agreed that any American involved in the opium trade would be prosecuted under Chinese law. Note that this does not absolve those involved in the opium trade prior or subsequent to this treaty for their actions.

> Drawing a distinction that the US is completely seperate from the British Empire is pretty dishonest.

No, it is not. It is a matter of historical fact[0]. Just because one nation can trace ancestry to another does not mean the newer one is answerable for the older one's actions. Are there commonalities between them? Of course.

But they are as distinct as a child is from their parents.

I think it compares more to a One Time Program or Functional Encryption.

Homomorphic Encryption won't prevent you from decrypting other outputs (if you have a decryption key), and with Functional Encryption it's assumed both parties know the function being evaluated, so OTP is really the closest.

There's also lower complexity community wide solutions like fake bus stops in and near nursing homes - it may not be a catch all, but it's nice mitigation for an unresolvable issue.

That's completely wrong.

First, every court of appeal can strike down a law as unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is only special in that there is no further appeal.

Second, case law absolutely determines the interpretation of each text, and each court is mildly bound by its own precendent (via stare decisis), and completely bound by the precedent of superior courts.

Third, there is no tension between these facts and people being judged individually and being equal before the law. The law must (in principle) be applied equally to everyone.

When I started (Sun 1 era), it was all we had. No internet. No USENET. No BBSes. No real magazines. Dr Dobbs and Byte.

Also, no one to talk to. The little group I was in was the “cutting edge”. So we had to make it all up. We were normally a VAX shop, rest of the company was running off the CDC mainframe. We were also just getting early PCs.

“man -k” was your friend.

We pretty much also never had any training. Biggest regret was I think they sent the wrong guy to learn the Lisp machines (TI Explorers).

Very hard to pick up, and the engineer they sent simply didn’t have the CS background or inner geek drive to really exploit their potential. They basically taught him some high level, entry level expert system (likely CLIPS or OPS5 based) and that was it.

So they pretty much sat idle while we hammered on the Suns. Too bad.

I've logged a lot of miles of Comma in a 2023 Hyundai Ioniq and 2022 Toyota Prius Prime, and the built in driving assist of both cars is nowhere near Comma, both in terms of steering and accelerator/brake.

Things that Comma handles seamlessly that the built-in cruise in both cars will not:

- Full stop and go

- Sharp turns on the highway that require slowing down (both built-in adaptive cruise modes will gladly just drive you off a cliff at 65 mph)

- Situations where the lane lines are hard to see or are implied

- Non-highway driving

- Not requiring me to touch the steering wheel every 20 seconds

Maybe those things work in higher end cars (though I'd say the Ioniq is a fairly high-end car), but then again with Comma you get it for ~$2k in a ton of cars instead of having to buy a luxury car.

It is true that if you are on a highway, with clear lane lines, the steering assist in both cars is certainly a lot better than nothing, but it's just not nearly matching the reliability and versatility of Comma in any sort of imperfect situation.

And you think this refutes the argument how?

Obviously being illegal didn’t prevent addiction, and being legal also doesn’t prevent addiction. Perhaps when it comes to “drug addiction,” the part that actually needs to be addressed is “addiction.”

There are a variety of treatments with a variety of degrees of efficacy but they all involve mitigating harm and providing safe and supportive environments.

Too bad it scored political points with the ignorant to just demonize addicted people and the things to which they’re addicted, almost as if that was the actual reason for the “war” on drugs. (Hint: Look up Nixon & crew’s reasoning.)
I’ve been considering this for over 5 years.

So far, cutting edge commercial is https://www.piql.com/, the Norwegian company that did the GitHub Arctic code vault. Their tapes have instructions on how to decode the data inscribed on the tape itself.

Truly cutting edge (non-commercial) is Microsoft’s Project Silica optical storage as well as DNA storage.

I’ve been thinking about building something in this space since I started my career, but the business seems incredibly hard to figure out a revenue model for. Trying to have someone pay up front for eternity(?), always seemed like a steep price. Would love to hear others thoughts if they’ve talked to people about this.
Tapes hold up really well if they're not in absolutely awful storage conditions. And the claim at least was that the early CD-ROMs were quite durable, being a straight up laser carved diffraction grating. CDRs on the other hand rely on dye which will degrade rapidly.

> I got so much more out of Starting FORTH and TCP/IP Network Administration and the Lisp 1.5 Primer and some 1975-vintage algorithms textbook whose name I can’t remember (all the examples were in Pascal) than I ever got out of the manpages.)

Well, page 13 of Lisp 1.5 has Maxwell's Laws of Software, after all. (Might have an error or two though.) ;-)

Pascal algorithms book is likely Wirth's Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs (subsequently revised as Algorithms and Data Structures, with an Oberon version as well.)

The Forth, Lisp, and Wirth books are readily available online.

One thing that the language books have in common is that they describe programming language (Forth, Lisp, Pascal) implementation. (Note Wirth subsequently removed the compiler section in deference to his longer compiler book, which covers more material and compiles an Oberon subset onto his own RISC processor design.)

The loudest voices in Rust that I know (pcwalton, steveklabnik, burntsushi, on HN for example) clearly acknowledge that Rust makes tradeoffs.

No one denies that there are "simpler ways to achieve memory safety". Stop-the-world garbage collection and reference-counting are exactly just that. Vale uses generational references, which, IIUC, has both memory and runtime costs when compared to the borrow checker.
> Which is to say that while it didn’t change its name to the United States until it had decided to exit the Empire ...

Hence my explicit use of United States, as it came to be after the colonies were no longer. Virtually all of the people who remained were previously British subjects, of course.

But designations before a nation exists are moot for those whom subsequently are a part of said nation.

Regarding the Opium Wars, I detailed in a peer comment my understanding of US involvement and responsibility. Even if one were to posit the US is equally responsible for supplying opium to China as the British Empire was, a position I disagree with, it would still fail to negate my original premise:

Two wrongs do not make a right.
Hi, I am one of the authors on the PSSuMEC paper. Thanks a lot for your interest in our work. If I understand correctly, range coding would have the same lack of perfect security properties as arithmetic coding (cf our paper). Having said this, we are investigating the utility of iMEC in compression settings.
I personally like it.

Modern, reflecting current design trends, and refreshing.

Congratulations on the team who worked on it!
Without deep understanding, technological process stops. This has happened before, there are periods in human history when people said 'this is good enough, it works' and that went on for hundreds of years. Might even have been fairly pleasant, until it wasn't.
That's why I've been super annoyed when companies started using speech recognition robots, and are trying to force customers to talk to them. "Please tell us why you are calling. You can say anything!".

It was in traffic control, there are different types of traffic control work, one type is lane closures which I did maybe 10% of the time. Another type is on large construction sites (not so much houses, more like large buildings), getting concrete trucks and the like in and out of the gated worksite safely. Which might require stopping traffic and pedestrians.

Construction jobs were and still are in demand. I did a course and assessment, it was a government requirement, it went for 3 days and cost about $1000. There is a bit of luck getting your first position. While there are lots of positions needed, most want experienced people.

I just applied to maybe 3 companies, got an interview which was basically showing up with all your PPE, radio, etc, to prove you have them and they tell you you might be tried out in a week or two. Basically they had an urgent requirement one day and all of their other traffic controllers were assigned or rejected the job so I got a go.

After 3 months I was driving a traffic control truck and either working by myself or running small crews. I loved it. Pretty much worked on different sites everyday.

It's not exactly rocket science but you do get better with experience. After a week you've pretty much got it down, and after 6 months you'd be considered experienced.

On construction sites, there might be a truck every 5 minutes but more common was hours of doing nothing but standing, but needing to keep alert for pedestrians and an unexpected truck arrival. Some people hated the boredom and didn't do a good job at keeping an eye on things, were on their phone, etc. I loved it. Different strokes for different folks.
> With regards to global warming the responsibility of inaction lies solely on one bad actor, the USA.

> I didn’t say that USA didn’t take action.

It sure does sound like I just moved the goalpost here doesn’t it. However if you continue reading the paragraph it surely should be clear I’m talking about inaction in commit to an international agreement. That was also what my parent was talking about, getting people to agree to act, not the action it self.

However even if you didn’t misunderstand me, and I’m actually being disingenuous here, you’d still be wrong. The Kyoto protocol called for industrialized nations to reduce 8-20% of their 1990 emissions by 2012. Most countries stayed within their targets, with a notable exception of Canada. Canada notable followed USA and withdrew the protocol after USA failed to ratify it. USA was still at +4% emissions in 2012 and didn’t go back to 0% until 2020, where Covid pushed them over the edge. 2020 was supposed to be the second target with most nations targeting -20% reduction. USA will not reach that in another decade.

USA is responsible for a huge part of historic emissions, prior to 1997 China was responsible for almost none of it. Had the Kyoto protocol held, China could still be a party to the 2020 target.

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-co-emissions?t...

This is the graph you should be looking at, when judging fairness of the protocol, and bad actors. You should ask your self in 1997 when China had the population of Europe and USA combine, while still only responsible for the equivalent of the UK alone. If in 2001 USA and Europe would start to flatten out while China stay under Europe. You should look at the top line, the biggest historic emitter, and ask, why were the USA the first country to bail on the protocol, and why have subsequent trials of another protocol mostly failed.

>There is no point dropping special forces into the middle of nowhere

Most of everywhere is the middle of nowhere and almost everything behind the lines is poorly guarded[0]. The vast vast majority of military strategy relies on two basic facts: things are far apart from each other[1] and one needs to move through another place to get to where one is going[2]. Ballistic transport gets around both of these limitations, which is why it is going to happen, costs be damned. Maybe it'll be drones getting dropped, or bombs, instead of people, but it'll be done nonetheless.

I don't know if you've ever played bughouse - but the timely application of even small amounts of resources can have a drastically outsized effect. A starship could have easily doubled the resources the Russians had to take that airport, a few more could have taken another while everyone was busy with the first.

> Hard disagree. I think we primarily make progress as engineers (and a species) by making better abstractions.

Abstractions are produced and consumed. You can make your abstractions better, but that doesn't mean you won't have to deal with leaky abstractions done by others.

Also, having depth in understanding is not only good in cases of leaky abstractions. It's also good to have a better breadth of options for what's out there. If layer B is built on layer A, but you just know B, you might end up building layer C on top of B that's very much like A, but worse in bloat and convolution. Like making a server that serves requests passed as files via NFS because you didn't know TCP sockets existed.
