The disappointing part of this is the large parts of the population who will look at this and other recent cases (see: Francesca Gino) and think that "academia is broken" or "scientists can't be trusted". That narrative will even be amplified by many YouTubers and periodicals who were quick with those headlines. However, as soon as this work came out, multiple scientists voiced concerns, several even filed complaints with the journal. Those in the field even took steps to reproduce the work found in the paper. The fact that this error was caught and several were skeptical enough to comment is how the system should work. Arguing over results that are too good to be true, taking steps to try to reproduce it independently, and publicly taking it down is why science can be trusted. Research isn't going to be perfect every time but peer review and reproduction should weed out the less than credible.
I'm more disappointed there's no reference to early 80s Steve Martin movie "The Man with Two Brains", as he literally wanders around talking to a brain in a jar.

It's a combination of calling the defects the healthy state, and making things up. Yes, healthy children will not want to play with the deficient children, and see them as low status. There is nothing undesirable about that, it seems to be a conserved reaction, even fruit flies do that. The sane solution is to make everyone a noble. Rooting for the cripples is not reasonable.
Yes I was really worried this was going to be "better" as in faster and cheaper but not "better" as in smarter. I've been playing with it for the past day and haven't noticed it any smarter per se, but also haven't noticed it dummer either.
I don't know that would help anything.

Looking deeper than names, several roles in the executive level changed over the last 12 months ('22 and one in '23). The CEO has been there forever.

So perhaps it's reasonable to guess they are in an acquisition phase, and are squeezing their portfolio to meet their new higher financial goals.

What do you think?
> I'm glad the designers seem to be taking a step back and reconsidering how everything fits together.

This is simply not what is happening here. The post is clear that this is about filling out and finishing up the plans that were laid down when async was initially designed, not changing how things fit together.
Correct, this is an issue in nba2k but it’s become a fundamental part of the game. As they made movements more realistic they introduced a delay. So when you try and get around you opponent you direct half a second before you move, but your defender also has to move their player - not in reaction to the screen but also in anticipation of your move in order to defend you. I actually think this is more like real life which makes the game better, but a lot less frantic than basketball arcade games of the past.
I'm sorry, is your argument really "if measured in terms of dollar per utility, they would be one of the most useful organizations regardless of how much money they set fire to, and therefore no one should complain if they just set money on fire"?

Their having made something useful does not entitle them to be able to set money on fire without objection, nor does it excuse ads implying the useful thing might go away when the reality is that they are asking for money because they would prefer to have more firewood to burn, without affecting the useful thing whatsoever.

The problem wasn't technical, it was the lack of "buckets of money" that intel had access to, combined with customers that demanded backwards compatibility.

Intel tried at least twice to move them away to i860 or Itanic and failed. So, improve x86 was the winning bet.

I don't see any parsing in TFA - I think they are taking a bottom-up approach by starting with a code generation library before even thinking about parsing.

I like this approach because it produces something that generates usable code without worrying about things like parsing or high level language syntax, and you've basically written a DSL/intermediate format which can be compiled by an existing C compiler.
Lots of replies kind of missed my point (my fault, probably) - I think there are cases where 'int' is the correct type to use, and cases where it is not. I think using 'int' everywhere is probably a mistake, and using 'int' nowhere is probably also a mistake.

Sometimes you are working within the guaranteed bounds of an 'int' in the C standard, so portability isn't an issue. Sometimes you are mixing different types and want to capture intermediate values in the promoted type, which is dictated by the C standard. Sometimes you want to use the native machine word for a good reason. And sometimes it is just easier to read and reason about (printf-like conversion specifications, code that interfaces with POSIX APIs frequently, etc).
This sounds a bit like the plot to the hokey Zach Snyder egopiece Sucker Punch (2011), in which the main girl finds the resolve she needs to carry on in the real world, inside the fantasy world she inhabits where she and her friends are badasses in sexy clothing. I always got the feeling that movie was teasing something interesting to say, but fumbling the ball in the delivery of the message.
Toyota used to have a pickup called "pickup" that was awesome. Small, light, but a full-sized bed. minimal with little to break - manual transmission, crank up windows, bench seat, etc.

I guess they rely on full-sized american pickup habits and creative financing to get folks to buy more expensive and bulkier trucks.
Given the rest of criterion (d), which discusses feeding and housing, I'd assume "living conditions" refer to the times when the animal is not actively being experimented on. Sections (a) and (b) do refer to experimental procedures and may require experimenters to use anaesthesia, which the paper mentions several times.
I always take these things as a kind of warning. They're telling you what their politics are, and that they're upfront about it. If you agree with that or can at least ignore that, you'll be alright. If not, don't interact.

Personally I'll use any technology regardless of the politics, but engaging with people is another matter.
Garbage trucks have long been a marvel to me. I used to wince every time I heard the dumpster outside my office get emptied. Every single time the operator would lift and tilt the dumpster, then smash it at least six times to make sure everything shook out. The dumpsters and the trucks had to withstand this beating over and over. The truck especially amazed me. Hundreds of pounds hanging on a cantilevered arm smashing down repeatedly--then moving onto the next dumpster!

You just have to take whatever crazy spec you were given for the mechanical parts and then multiply that by 100 to engineer anything that could survive a single day.

> I will concede that if you're comparing renting and buying equivalent properties that buying generally makes financial sense. But that's not what I'm doing.

If you concede that buying makes sense when comparing like for like, why not do that?

Buy a tiny studio apartment of the size you prefer and then you can own it.

If you're comparing rent on a tiny apartment to mortgage on a larger single family home, of course the tiny apartment is cheaper. It doesn't conclude that renting is cheaper, only concludes that a tiny apartment is cheaper than a house.

> Probably worth revisiting those discussions to see where this has been thought through by the Rust team

The issue generated a lot of hot air at the time, far more than I have time to read, but I think I have the gist of it.

The performance issues were due to an implementation choice. All green thread implementations I'm aware of hide the code colouring event driven I/O introduces, and Rust did the same. The hiding has to be done at run time. That translates to every I/O call has at some point chose the blocking or non-blocking implementation. This is typically done using vtables (dyn in Rust), but whatever mechanism is used, it introduces runtime overhead. Worse, it slows down everything - including code that doesn't use green threads. It gets radically worse if you try to hide C calls blocking.

Async has the same issue, some solves it by making coloured code the programmers problem. If they had of made the same design decision for green threads the performance issues go away. We don't have to speculate about that. There is a green thread crate out there called "may", then has independent benchmarks covering it, async Rust implementations, and other languages. "may" beat everything at one point, but it's a very noisy benchmark so the only conclusion I would draw from it is that "may" looks to run at the same speed as async.

As for the rest of the issues: they revolve around needing a separate stack. I tried to cover the trade-offs above. Summarising: green threads lead to simpler code that's easier to write and theoretically could run faster than async, but have larger setup overhead and use more memory.
> large parts of the population...

They're not paying attention to this.
you want to explore, what "political" means, that's fine. we're not making a thesis here, so allow me to also ramble, but i'm cautious of your alies: another person in this thread has implicitly acused me of homophobia, sexism and racism, because that's the tactics with these kinds of people.

first of all we clearly have different relationship with video games, just by the games you've mentioned, or the fact that you've worked in the industry. i don't play call of duty, because i'm not on board with jock sniffers on political grounds. your other examples are similar, and i agree with you, a lot of video games are political, and i stand by my point. i don't like to engage with them! i find their treatment of political subjects to be juvenile, naive, reductionist, historically illiterate, and yet often moralizing and grandstanding. few games that aspire to deal with tough social subjects ever deliver. this is in my opinion.

there are two dimensions to the question of politics in video games, that make engagement with politics often an unpleasant experience. the question of familiarity that you touched on, and the question of player's choice. with low familiarity and low choice politics are not a problem. yeah i don't know anything about organized crime in japan, why would i care what the game tells me. with high choice politics are also not a problem, this is a very very very rare thing in the games treatment of politics. and i think the faux choice between "i sided with the developer's prefered political position, and got the good ending" and "i sided with developer's disliked political positions, and now i'm literally hitler" is not a real choice.

so the real problem with politics in video games is often high familiarity with low choice. the developer wants you to know that their guys are really the good guys, and they imbue them with all the political views that the developers share. you're "forced" to play out scenarios, where you are not invested in the narrative anymore, you're just doing it for the mechanics of the game. i've played shadowrun: dragonfall recently, you're part of an anarchist commune, and there's a lot of kind of talk that you hear in anarchist communes, and, man, i've been part of anarchist communes before, and all this talk is bullshit, but in the video game universe it works!

which gets me to my original criticism of "activist journalists". these people want more politics in their games not less. by virtue of their activism, and interest of the kind of audience they attract, they are also much more likely to dedicate both time to games with explicit political subjects, or often times explore games from political perspective. they are also much more likely to advocate for high familiarity, low choice games. that's my past experience with their output. there is a lot apolotical games, there's a lot of low familiarity political games, "activist journalists" pretty much gaurantee that politics is front and center of gaming experience.
> The disappointing part of this is the large parts of the population who will look at this and other recent cases (see: Francesca Gino) and think that "academia is broken" or "scientists can't be trusted".

No, sorry. Just no. Stop. "Scientists" were clear, loud, and nearly unanimous in their calls for caution about these results. People on this very site were in these threads saying "we should wait a few weeks, guys" and getting downvoted into gray oblivion for their trouble by a horde of kids hopped up on "proof" they saw via (and I'm not kidding about this) a multimeter screen on TikTok.

You can't fix that with science. Science did everything right here. We had a tantalizing result reported, investigated, and disposed.
What would that even mean though? Bonds are sold at auctions, and already sell at a price different from face value. The difference determines the yield.

You could have "no one questioning the validity" but people are still going to either not participate in the auction, or bid only for high yields.

Very good lenses are more accessible than they sound; there are decent cheap f0.95 mirrorless lenses out there, and even if you want an expensive one you can rent it. Just don't drop it.

From an interview with ABC (Australian public broadcaster/news network) with the Optus CEO
---

ABC: Can you tell us why the system's gone down?

Optus CEO: Unfortunately, I don't have more information to give at this stage. We have had issues since 4am. The team has tried a number of parts of restoration and so far we have not had the results that we have hoped for. And we're pursuing every avenue to get everybody back online as soon as possible.

ABC: Do they know what happened though? Who's there the team that you've got working on it?

Optus CEO: Our team is still pursuing every possible avenue. We had a number of hypotheses and each one so far that we've tested and put in place new actions for has not resolved the fundamental issue. So we're still working on it. And when we have a identified root cause and a time for restoration, we'll be updating everybody as soon as we can.

This is classic example of if you give people a metric (that is meant to be a condensation of things that truly matter) based on which they are evaluated it, they will just start optimizing for and gaming that metric instead of focusing on things that truly matter.

Your example disproves your point. Array index works just fine if C programs use 0 indexing and Pascal programs use 1 indexing. There’s zero need for compromise between different groups here and the overhead of trying to do so is often just wasted effort.

Coordination only applies within some group, so your example is showing coordination bias. By assuming everyone needs to agree to something you’re failing to optimize.

Pulling the plug doesn’t look good appealing when this project is your livelihood, but looking after stakeholder’s interests isn’t always the same thing as continuing to collect a paycheck. Thus at the root of such projects should be an optimization problem not a coordination one.
I’ll probably trigger some people by saying this, so I made a throwaway. It’s because she’s the best woman of color they could find who was remotely qualified for the job. The Biden admin has been preferentially appointing women of color across the board. Look at the demographics of their judge appointees, for instance[0]. I’m not saying this to be inflammatory. There’s crystal clear of evidence of preferential treatment.

For many “in the know” in this area, Khan has repeatedly made a fool out of herself, despite those who wish to push a glowing narrative. As many have already pointed out, she’s simply not that effective, and at some point you have to admit that even if you agree with what she’s trying to do (as many of us here do). One of the reasons here, which you mentioned, is the remarkably low staff morale at the FTC which she has caused[1].

Prejudice like this has been happening across the board under Biden, and the vast majority of the picks are, to say the least, underwhelming (Khan isn't really that bad relatively speaking.) Bottom line is: if you or anyone reading think this is crap, you need to get yourself (and others) politically active.

Because if it is your mortgage, it has an end date. After that your housing costs drop dramatically. If you time it so that your housing costs drop dramatically near the time your income drops dramatically in retirement, it's a good combination.
