But if you don't have a uop cache (which is quite feasible with a RISC-V or AArch64 style ISA), then decode bandwidth is much more important than a few NOPs in icache.

Presumably your high performance core has at least three of these 64bit wide decoders, for a frontend that takes a 64bit aligned 192bit block every cycle and decodes three 64bit instructions, six 32bit instructions, twelve 16bit instructions, or some combination of all sizes every cycle.

If you implement unaligned jump targets, then the decoders still need to fetch 64bit aligned blocks to get the length bits. For every unaligned jump, that's upto a third of your instruction decode slots site idle for the first cycle. This might mean the difference between executing a tight loop in one cycle or two.

A similar thing applies to a low gate count version of the core, a design where your instruction decoder targets one 32bit or 16bit instruction per cycle (and a 64bit instruction every second cycle). On unaligned jumps, such a decoder still needs to load the first 32bits of the instruction first to check the length decoding, and waste an entire cycle on every single branch.

Allowing unaligned jump targets might keep a few NOPs out of icache (depending on how good the instruction scheduler is), but it costs you cycles in tight branchy code.

Knowing compiler authors, if you have this style of ISA and even it does support unaligned jump targets, they are still going to default to inserting NOPs to align every single jump target, just because the performance is notably better on aligned jump targets and they have no idea if this branch target is hot or cold.

So my argument is that you might as well enforce jump target alignment of 64 bits anyway. Allow all implementations gain the small wins from assuming that all targets are 64bit aligned, and use the 2 extra bits to make your relative jump instructions have four times as much range.
I wonder how it would have felt to operate one of these machines as a job, or to be computer. It might be a relief to sustain yourself using your mind, but without the constant pressure for novelty.

Oh, interesting, Wix wasn't even on my list for consideration. I like the look of it, but I also want to pull in some of my documentation from docstrings, possibly, so I think reStructuredText is a leading contender. That's what I'm getting ready to try setting up in my github workflow to see if I can get it to automatically format and publish the documentation to a github pages site.

I'm working on a not entirely dissimilar project (mine is focused more towards: fabric/ansible/cookiecutter type workflows, leaning on a lot of shell semantics. My workflows and hopefully soon documentation may be useful to you, I'd be happy to contribute them. I auto-build and publish releases to pypi. Project is: https://github.com/linsomniac/uplaybook

"I can work on a team but I prefer working alone [...]" This to me is a red flag. Unless you're already pretty experienced, and have a large client base (or a small number of clients who keep you busy), it's nearly impossible to take on exclusively projects where you're the only developer. If you have the luxury of turning away clients with jobs that involve working with other developers, great. But most likely you're not in that position, and would be doing your clients a disservice by trying to do something alone that would be better served by working with other developers.

tl;dr Don't try to be a lone wolf. In the long run it hurts you, not to mention your clients. Learn to work with others.

I don’t know if you’re going to hear “I don’t know” in a lot of macro seminars - everyone there knows the same material as everyone else and what the limits are.

But I think any macro scholar would tell you quite honestly where they think the limits of their models are. It’s like any other scientific endeavor: “this paper on Topic X is our best understanding right now but it’s subject to revisions.”

Similar example from outside macro: there are not many finance professors who will make large bets on the prices of specific assets on the basis of their models, including models in which they have high confidence as being on the current research frontier. That certainly doesn’t mean they are idiots or that they aren’t trying or whatever. It just means it’s really hard.

Imagine a physical science, but make it harder bc you generally cannot do controlled macro experiments (sometimes there are natural experiments if you are very lucky) you can certainly never repeat them AND when your experimental subjects discover that you are trying to predict or understand their behavior they might change it on purpose bc they don’t want to be understood or predicted!

In several ways it’s a lot harder than physics! Murray gell-man said something to that effect once. Something like “imagine how hard physics would be if electrons could think.”
Yeah, in your case I think most of the complexity is actually on the ReadableStream side, not the base64 side.

The thing that I'd actually want for your case is either a TransformStream for byte stream <-> base64 stream (which I expect will come eventually, once the simple case gets done; it's also easy in userland [1]), or something which would let you read the entire stream into a single Uint8Array or ArrayBuffer, which is a long-standing suggestion [2].

---

> Why does de-chunking a byte array need to be complicated

Keep in mind the concat proposal is _very_ early. If you think it would be useful to be able to concat Uint8Arrays and have that implicitly concatenate the underlying buffers, [3] is the place to open an issue.

---

> You have made me realize I don't even know what the right venue is to vote on stuff. How should I signal to TC39 that e.g. Array.fromAsync is a good idea?

Unfortunately, it's different places for different things. Streams are not TC39 at all; the right place for suggestions there is in the WHATWG streams repo [4]. Usually there's already an existing issue and you can add your use case as a comment in the relevant issue. TC39 proposals all have their own Github repositories, and you can open a new issue with your use case.

Concrete use cases are much more helpful than just "this is a good idea". Though `fromAsync` in particular everyone agrees is good, and it mostly just needs implementations, which are ongoing; see e.g. [5]. If you _really_ want to advance a stage 3 proposal, you can contribute a PR to Chrome or Firefox with an implementation - but for nontrivial proposals that's usually hard. For TC39 in particular, use cases are only really valuable pre-stage-3 proposals.

By both, which sucks either way.
A couple of reasons. First, you could compare a self driving car's safety against your own record. I've had a licence since 1988 and never had an accident. I want to compare against that standard. Second, you could get a better idea of the insurance premium against your own. I suspect there will come a day when the premiums are much lower for self driving cars but right now I suspect they'd be higher due to all the added self driving equipment you're insuring as well.

Not pointing a finger at you specifically, but I've heard some flavor of "China is going to fall over." for at least the last 20 or so years.

In that time they have overtaken Japan's former #2 GDP spot, secured the seas in their corner of the world, gotten most of the third world strangled with purse strings, and not give a single damn about economic and diplomatic sanctions.

So, excuse me while I file every single one of those "China is going to fall over." claims in my Bullshit folder while I witness the west and particularly the US continue to lose the cold war we westerners/Americans decided to wage.
Why are they in US instead of China

because the US still has the reputation of better higher education. but also, many of the chinese students will go back to china and bring their experience with them. this will benefit china, but also the experience of living in a foreign country will promote a better understanding between china and the US and create a better future for the world
> If you live in an environment with inclement weather and awkward roads, everybody can't just choose to not drive there, but wayno can.

they accounted for that with zip code data.
Fair enough. Maybe not “all of it”, but most of it is covered.

Waymo has always operated 24/7 since the beginning and had 99.4% fleet uptime [1] during the past winter season (SF had record rains). They used to shut down during inclement weather in Phoenix years ago, but their SF rain operations have scaled up with the mileage. Waymo vehicles use its own set of sensors and don’t rely on the vehicle’s safety features, so I’m not sure how types of vehicles is relevant for the comparison.

This is pretty good as far as “apples-to-apples” comparisons go.

Then why are you saying things like "if we try to avoid any and all pain then we could still be nomadic people"? That seems pretty binary to me.

> This is a broader philosophical discussion about technology in general, and how much pain is tolerable for progress.

No, it's about who bears that pain. Is it the public or the investors? Obviously the investors and their apologists would prefer to externalize as much as the cost ("pain") as possible onto the public, and shame the public into accepting it.

> Do you disagree with the premise that on the other side of self-driving cars is a world where humans don't have to labor for their transportation?

That's actually an irrelevant distraction, especially if for someone who rejects ends-justify-the-means logic. Do you disagree with the premise that on the other side of unrestricted and unethical experimentation on humans is a world where many more diseases are cured and life is greatly extended (for some, at least)?
My point was not about the nature of the political regime but about it's ways towards businesses: does it emits strong directives on all accounts/levels?

My point is that, albeit there are perimeters strictly under its exclusive control (Taiwan being one, battles opposing Chinese individuals/companies being another), entrepreneurs and bosses are quite free to decide and to act.

Everything related to Taiwan is heavily politically loaded in China, this is one of the few taboos, and everyone knows it there.

Developer Productivity for Humans
I agree. I actually live a bit closer to Seattle then OP, only 40 min on bus + boat (add 20 outside of commuter hour for a second bus). The Sounder doesn’t actually run anywhere near me, (well I could take the 118 south to the Tahlequah ferry terminal, 10 min boat to Point Defiance, a Pearce transit bus to Tacoma, and ride the Sounder from there; which urbanists call the “long way”). so this doesn’t affect me personally.

But you are absolutely right, Tacoma and Everett are 3rd and 4th largest cities in the state and are in the same metro area as Seattle. The north line is actually worse, only 2 trains a day (plus 2 Amtrak Cascade trains) even though there is major Ferry terminal connection at Edmonds (and a smaller but significant at Mukilteo). The Sounder service is dismal and needs to be improved (thankfully we are getting more service on the Amtrak Cascades which runs the same corridor but goes all the way to Portland and Vancouver BC. but not nearly enough)

That said, the bulk of the population in the Seattle metro area is serviced with the Link light rail. They are almost done with an extension east to Bellevue (turns out building rail on a floating bridge is hard) and eventually it will reach both Tacoma and Everett. Then they will get the frequency they deserve.

As for me, how do I get home. My ferries actually run all night (although with up to 3 hour gaps in the middle of the night) and frequently enough. If there isn’t a bus on the island, I usually just call my partner and she picks me up at the terminal, sometimes I also meet someone I know in the ferry.

The funny bit is that I actually immigrated here from Europe, and my tiny European island in the North Atlantic actually has way worse public transit system as Seattle. So for me this is a huge improvement. I’m actually going home to visit and am planning to see a friend of my play at a concert it a town 40 min from the capital, but there are no buses, so I actually have to call my mom to pick me up when the concerts are done.
Of course it’s not bad, but its value was clouded (sorry) by a generation of cargo culting that made it seem equally ideal for all projects and businesses.

It’s not. Traditional hosting, data center relationships, and “server in the closet” still give competitive advantage to organizations that use them wisely.

There’s really not much else to say that isn’t just meaningless rambling about imagined orgs/projects that better run here or there.

What most orgs need is just an astute advisor who isn’t sold on any one solution and can identify the right fit. And of they can’t afford that, they’re probably fine on a cheap VPS. :)

Greater density in cities too because fewer car owners means less need for parking. And probably fewer people will want to live in suburbs, today owning a car makes the suburbs a little more appealing because you don't have to deal with city driving and parking.
> Just look at what people currently do with the models. You already see a lot of deepfake attempts. This will only increase as the technology improves. If you can generate a scene from scratch people will ask it to generate a full porn movie with the actor/actress of their choice.

Currently, people either make content with entirely generated personas, or make deepfake content of people who are not porn actresses at all. I've been following the commentary around this topic, and I've never even heard of somebody using AI to generate porn of people who are already porn actresses.

> I think if you care about an actor losing income over AI generated works, you would naturally care about a porn actor losing income over this.

In general I don't care about people losing their jobs to new technology. I do support the actors who were being strong-armed permanently signing away the rights to their likeness, and I sympathise with them, because what they do is valuable for society.

Apart from to the extent to which they themselves are exploited, I have no sympathy at all for pornography industry participants. What they do is detrimental to society, and generally revolves around exploiting their customers, especially the weird new parasocial only-fans model.

So none of the reasons why I might care about the actors union complaints apply to the porn industry.

> If we make a legal framework for movie actors it should also apply to pron actors.

There already is a legal framework for managing this. It is called personality rights or the right of publicity. There's no need at all for any new laws to regulate this.

I hear this argument regularly, which is confusing when IntelliJ is free? It _has_ a paid version, but in the ~7 years that my employer was paying for the Ultimate Edition, I never once used any of them.

Sure, anecdotally this does seem to be true (by the fact that I can have VS Code and Factorio open at the same time :P ).

But the way you hear VS Code fans rave about it, you'd think there are oodles of extra functionality, not just "it's a little more efficient, but not so as you'd notice during the work day".

I know of a small single-state chain of pizza restaurants with unique whole wheat crust unlike any other I’ve had, and I’ve looked. I’ve tried to recreate it at home, haven’t gotten terribly close. The chain only lasted about 15 years. I don’t know of any place that makes a substitute for what they made.

I do know a place that makes pizza pretty close to an early 90s Pizza Hut pie. It’s like $20+ a pizza, because that’s what early 90s Pizza Hut would cost if they hadn’t been cutting quality to keep the the price relatively stable, for the last two-plus decades. So that’s nice.

Ah! An _entirely_ different claim than what I previously interpreted :) thanks for explaining
He's claiming that it is justified because israel might commit genocide at some unspecified time in the future, despite that being unlikely. It seems like a rediculous argument to me. Nobody has a crystal ball - you can't justify actions based on things that haven't happened yet. It seems more an attempt to deflect the criticism that hamas has comitted genocide.

Was 9/11 justified because america might commit genocide in the future? Sure it hasn't happened yet but still might because time hasn't ended?

What do you mean "would work". I don't think whether something elicits a "good signal" makes it good to do.

Same BS as usual, failing to control for where, when, and how crashes and incidents occur will alway make self driving look safer: they disable themselves in pretty much every situation where crash rates increase: night, rain, types of road, etc. A legitimate comparison would only compare self driving rates to human driven accidents in the same conditions.

That these companies continue to repeat this kind of BS makes me think that the benefits, if any, are much smaller than anything they’re claiming.

The caveats are missing the point that FSD is very obviously less safe than a human driver, unless you constrain the data to long stretches of interstate road during the day, with nice weather, clearly marked road lines and minimal construction.
