Since RISC-V already has standard extensions for pretty much every feature that any other mainstream ISA has, it is pretty hard to see what is left for generally-applicable custom extensions that make enough difference to be worth getting locked in to.

The only Balkanization that has occurred so far is companies implementing draft versions of standard extensions because they don't want to wait years for the final version: e.g. the Kendryte K210 with priv ISA 1.9.1 [1], THead C906 and C910 implementing draft 0.7.1 of the Vector specification [2], THead implementing Physical Memory Attributes which didn't even have an official draft spec yet, THead and Andes implementing equivalents to (mostly) the eventual Zb or Zc extensions [3]

None of that has much in the way of lock-in as affected code can be either simply recompiled using the relevant official extension or else trivially ported.

[1] they appear to have simply used the current Berkeley Rocket snapshot at the time, 1.10 is what was ratified

[2] which document said "we think we're really really close to being ready to ratify this" but there turned out to be three more major revisions over 1.5 years. Nevertheless, many important library functions such as memcpy() are binary compatible between them, and forward-porting other 0.7.1 code to 1.0 is trivial.

[3] e.g. clz and popcount, shift-and-add for addressing calculations, byteswap, short opcodes for simple forms of byte load/store

Then what do you call the custom OS that ships on the Pixel? Of course it's a custom built OS that's designed to work with the custom hardware on the Pixel.

Security is defined by the marriage of software and hardware. The reason the Pixel is so secure is because of this. The OP made a blanket statement which did not apply to the Android ecosystem.
This is not true for Rust. Await in rust builds a larger state machine from the former. It does no implicit thread or task spawns (unless the future you're awaiting does them explicitly).

You're, of course, welcome to not like Instagram, and to not do business with them, and to do business with other people, and to suggest that other people shouldn't use Instagram.

But it's absolute baloney to claim that they punish freedom of expression because the venn diagram of "content they're willing to host on their infrastructure" and "content you want to publish" aren't perfectly aligned. Calling my burger shop bad because it doesn't serve salads is similarly baloney.

Restaurants are free to petition the government, in the same way that you're free to petition the government. And insofar as there has been lobbying to make some kinds of expression illegal, I've generally been opposed to it. But as far as I can tell, every modern example of a group lobbying the government to make kinds of expression illegal have not come from social media platforms, they've come from Republican lobbying groups trying to get books banned or drag shows banned.

Hello, author here! I used GCP as it was familiar and quick to set up on that basis — we use it as our cloud provider at my day job — but I’ve got no special allegiance otherwise. I’m curious what you would’ve expected in its place? A corresponding AWS offering? A more ‘bare’ hosted VM from a commodity provider?
I wonder if this is a more extreme manifestation of the common experience of losing sense of time passing when high, often thinking that something is taking a very long time while actually not taking very long.
This matches my experience. In the old days (mid-2000's) I did a ton of PHP freelance work. This was done mostly with home grown "frameworks", built around HTML form to MySQL database mapping and CRUD operations. This was before REST APIs were really a thing, everything was page driven ("SSR" in today's terms, I guess.) For anything dynamic, we'd use JQuery, make an ajax call, return partial HTML, and inject it into the page. It was actually incredibly productive. I later moved on to Laravel and ditched the home grown stuff for newer projects.

I don't do PHP work much these days (permanent "working from home" made me not want to do any extra work from home after hours), but it felt incredibly productive compared to the more modern tech I've seen in my day jobs. There's a lot of crap to wade through nowadays. A typical small project might have a React front end, Python back end, REST API's, documentation, cloud deployments, on-and-on. Web development isn't fun anymore.

I think God represents the unknown instead of a specific person. God is what is beyond the universe, and no one has any idea what that is or where the universe came from. So we supplant that absence with a named deity.
I believe that the current housing bubble began to really go off the rails during the 2008 financial crisis due to decisions made by the Conservative Party of Canada at that time. Instead of addressing the issue directly, the government chose to stimulate the housing market through incentives and policies, effectively artificially inflating it. Subsequent governments have followed a similar path.

As we've seen, the accumulated potential energy in the housing market has now grown to such an extent that we don't know what to do with it. Eventually, the "sandpile effect" is likely to come into play, since the laws of nature always wins.

I think it's a global phenomenon. I own an apartment in an European country and I also saw my neighbors selling theirs for 2 or 3 times what I paid for mine. The same trend can be observed in basically all European capitals. I don't think this is a Canadian problem.

I think it's dangerous to jump straight to witch hunts. First the scapegoat was golden visas, then it was Airbnb's, then "the rich" whatever that means, and now the Canadian government too? Which one is it?
Where I work, I have access to the data. There is a clear drop in PRs, lines of code committed, and new documents created.

To further that we have moved to 3 days RTO, and have Monday and Friday as WFH. Guess what? Github activity and slack message counts are nearly non existence on Friday, and just a blip on Monday.

Companies have the data, they don't need external studies to tell them what they already know. This is why they can move forward with RTO without worrying about any of the nonsense the WFH crowd drone on about. WFH folks know they are wrong, and companies know the WFH peoples are wrong, and that is why every comment suggesting otherwise is a knee jerk reaction to mob anybody who suggest differently.

Good luck WFH folks, while I am at the office making impact, you won't even have a chance when it comes for review or promotion time, because you can't list "answered the door for a package delivery" as anything useful.

It's been that way for almost a hundred years. It's not so scary when interest rates and values have stayed relatively steady (as they have in most of the post-ww2 era in inflation-adjusted terms). All that seems to have fallen apart around the year 2000 (when interest rates were made lower than they should have been).

As a data point, I personally know the owner of multiple restaurants in Minneapolis. He has very happily kept the bathrooms entirely closed to the public since covid -- breaking the law while doing so -- because people are trash and, if allowed, will wreck the bathrooms. Including shitting on the toilet bowl, the walls, floor, etc; drug use; and bathing in the sink, which makes a giant mess that he or his employees have to clean.

You're jumping to a quantitative comparison because that's simpler and more obvious, but the right way to think about it is qualitatively.

We have over half a century of understanding of modern human driving patterns. We know the ceiling on the number of accidents/deaths that humans will cause. We know that if it changes, it will change slowly.

AI works differently. An update to code or models wipes out all expectations we've learned from prior versions.

In short, the entire fleet of autonomous vehicles can change behavior overnight with a software update and become murder tanks.

Nothing will ever happen to all human drivers at once. Some small percentage will be drunk at any given time. We'll never all wake up with a new drunk version of ourselves at the same time.

I don't mean to say that autonomous technology could never work in principal. But we know that this SV in practice has too much hubris and too little oversight to deploy sensitive products responsibly, or with attention to any values above profit and growth.
Unless you are very confident of the teams ability to market and sell the product I would not take equity. They basically are getting you to work for free to build their product. Which they could then take to go get funding and in the worst case they can find a way to completely dilute your shares.

I have never had a Postgres install go that easily. There’s still initialization and setup of the server and users. And you’ll have to do something about upgrades as well. Postgres isn’t difficult to set up but SQLite is just a file. It’s much simpler.

And that’s only the installation. Interaction with SQLite as a database is also simpler.

They both have uses but it’s strange to me to assert that they’re equally complex.
Tradition is a pretty terrible defense when the tradition in question has measurable, known harms.

Luckily, most rational people would probably agree that there is a middle ground between "change nothing" and "eliminate the tradition". For example, cutting beef consumption to once a week or once a month would considerably lower your environmental impact without eliminating a valued tradition.

Yeah, they were stuck with what they had tooling for. That was specifically brought up in the case of the Red Army: they had designs, but they couldn't possibly supply the numbers. Not after the purges, and then the utterly preposterous losses of 1941-1942. Which, well, a lot of that was the purges. It forced them to re-equip the whole Red Army three times over.

I guess without the purges, a whole lot changes. It's a huge wildcard in the alternate history.

Also, doctrine, logistics, the everything . . just didn't know what to do with a infantry platoon when everyone has a machine gun. It screwed up the machine . . and, let's be honest, the infantryman's small arm is a teensy tiny minority of where casualties come from. Even back in 1941. Far better to keep the big wheel turning with motorized transport, artillery, aircraft.

Ask HN: Did people in the middle ages re-enact ancient times?
I just went to a festival in Northern Italy, which was set to mimic the middles ages. The food, cutlery (or, the lack of it), entertainment, were all set to match the times. I've been to many events/restaurants around Europe that are set to re enact the middle ages.

Is this a new phenomenon of re enacting a different period in time? Or, did people in the middle ages re enact the ancient times?
Thank you, that is better than what my perception was.

> JCDecaux is really an ad company. The street toilets are just a way to get ads on public property.

At the risk of going off on a tangent, JCDecaux is actually a marketing company which sells ad space to the highest bidder. Their business model consists of offering municipalities free public equipment/urban infrastructure such as bus stops, public toilets, public fountains, etc, and in exchange have the right to use that to post curated ads.

> The first problem was that that the US required them to be wheelchair-accessable.

I don't think that holds any truth at all. All JCDecaux public toilets I've seen were all designed with accessibility in mind. Why do you think that asking JCDecaux to provide something it already provides everywhere would be suddenly an issue?

https://www.jcdecaux.com/press-releases/world-toilet-day-ove...

> So they were 3x as big and several times more expensive than the smaller units in Paris.[1]

Those are already wheelchair-accessible. What's your point?

> They are noted for working fine in tourist areas, and badly in homeless areas. Making them big enough for wheelchair accessibility makes them big enough for drug deals, too.

I don't see your point. Do you think there are no homeless people in tourist areas where JCDecaux deploys public toilets? People still vandalize those, and also coin-operated ones.
So sad that John Wilson is over now. One of the weirdest best shows ever. The S1 E2 episode How to put up scaffolding about all the scaffolding in NYC was one of my favorites. Never has a show loved and showcased a city so authentically, except maybe the Wire with Baltimore.

If you’ve watched the final episode (absolutely riveting in typical Wilson fashion) the conversation with “Mike” is just shocking. But in some ways it makes sense the show had to end. Similar to the Ali G show back in the day, once you achieve some fame, ironically strangers will know who you are and be less likely to tell their true stories and opinions. And at that point the show would be dead anyway.
Wouldn't the burden of proof lie with whomever is making the claim of bias? And it would be easily countered with surveillance footage showing just one white male homeless guy getting turned away.

Scalpers would be more like sub leasers here. The actual builders build the housing, but you aren't going to pay your rent to 1000 different people who all played a part in building it, and those builders want to be paid now, not over 30 years. So the landlord pays them all out now and consolidates the debt.

Landlords provide housing in the same way the supermarket provides food. They didn't grow the food, but they did enable it to get to you.
This is similar to David Lewis's modal realism, which says that every possible world is real:

There isn't really much of a connection between this and Bostrom's simulation argument. The simulation argument is about calculating the probability that we live in a simulated universe based on certain assumptions about human behavior and technological development. Bostrom's argument doesn't make any metaphysical claims other than assuming that consciousness is substrate independent.

I don't buy into metaphysical theories that claim to deduce the existence of worlds outside our own based on armchair reasoning. We know that the physical universe exists and we can explain everything that we experience in terms of quantum field theory and general relativity. Any theory that wants to challenge this view of the world needs to modify those existing theories, or design an experiment that shows why they aren't adequate to explain reality.
Try to find a bathroom in a tourist town in france and then get back to me. In america if you go into most shops and ask, they will let you into the bathroom. In touristy areas sometimes they are dicks about it, but still you can find a way. In france, if you don't have coins on you, they will literally watch your bladder explode.
This isn't an american problem, I find it way easier to know where to go in the US (any mcdonalds, starbucks, etc... will let you in no questions asked)
Because you'd have to fund a create a betting body that organizes this data and determines when it's low ranking or not. We don't need an SEC for tennis; what a colossal waste of taxpayer resources.
> The calculation device would exist inside one universe but calculate another one...

Hmm... calculation device? I thought the premise here is that actually doing the calculation is not necessary - a tenet you invoke in order to say say elsewhere [1] that the computational complexity does not matter, as the notionally simulated universe exists anyway.

But if that were so, would it not do away with the distinction between simulating and simulated universes, creating the situation where every possible universe exists in every extant universe?

That's a lot of universes.

Condos aren’t built for families … in Canada.

There’s no inherent limitation on having a family friendly condo.

In many European countries families live in condos. And they can have great amenities like a swimming pool and a playground. And quite spacious. With highly dense walkable and even car-free neighbourhoods.

Sure you might not have a huge own backyard but there’s probably a park nearby where you can socialize with people.
