Not contradicting you, just adding the context that there was BASIC compilers that could speed things up significantly. Not sure of the cost or the the relative performance, but it was fast enough to build commercial products with.
Similarly, 1024 weeks is terrible. The GPS epoch rolls over at that interval, which is just long enough that a lot of receiver makers decide not to handle it, but short enough that they very much have to.

64 weeks would've been better. Force it to be handled gracefully and tested thoroughly.
> I think this approach can operate at RAM speed with just one core with AVX512, so no benefit in splitting across cores.

A single core can't saturate RAM bandwidth. Cores are limited by memory parallelism and latency. Most modern x86 server chips can retire 2 SIMD loads per clock cycle (i.e. 32GB/s @ 1GHz using AVX2), so AVX-512 is not necessary to max out per-core bandwidth - but if you're loading from DRAM you'll likely cap out much, much earlier (closer to 10-16GB/s on commodity servers).

As long as the majority of your data spills into RAM, you'll see a massive throughput cliff on a single core. With large streaming use-cases, you'll almost always benefit from multi-core parallelism.

It's very easy to test: allocate a large block of memory (ideally orders of magnitude larger than your L3 cache), pre-fault it, so you're not stalling on page faults, and do an unrolled vector load (AVX2/AVX-512) in a tight loop.

In some places, but share of wind and solar is increasing fast. Where I live we are 103% wind - that is we generate more electric from wind than we use (it is exported to other regions nearby and when the wind isn't blowing we do import power from other sources).

Meanwhile your ICE is 100% fossil fuel. And the ICE is less efficient at turning those fossil fuels into power than a central power plant.

"If one wants to keep world GDP more or less as now one must (A) “freeze” today’s global income distributions so that some 10-15% of the world population continue to live below the absolute poverty line, and one-half of the world population below $PPP 7 dollars per day (which is, by the way, significantly below Western poverty lines). This is however unacceptable to the poor people, to the poor countries, and even to degrowers themselves.

Thus they must try something else: introduce a different distribution (B) where everybody who is above the current mean world income ($PPP 16 per day) is driven down to this mean, and the poor countries and people are, at least for a while, allowed to continue growing until they too achieve the level of $PPP 16 per day. But the problem with that approach is that one would have to engage in a massive reduction of incomes for all those who make more than $PPP 16 which is practically all of the Western population. Only 14% of the population in Western countries live at the level of income less than the global mean. This is probably the most important statistic that one should keep in mind. Degrowers thus need to convince 86% of the population living in rich countries that their incomes are too high and need to be reduced."

Christopher Alexander (the architect and design theorist mentioned in the beginning of the article) wrote at length (and depth!) on the concepts underlying the sense of "liveliness" or "life" in spaces, and "quality" in general. He was pretty successful at capturing it too; his "Pattern Language" describes well a lot of the aspects that make spaces and structures coherent vs not.

Whenever I see this stuff discussed, the conversation rarely plumbs the depths. But even in this article -- just look at the photos. The buildings accused of being ornamented -- they're elaborate in a specific way; the complications aren't there just for the sake of adding something, they reiterate certain structural themes, create depth, a sense of connection at variety of scales. Compare to the "unadorned" buildings -- dead, flat, boring, generic, your attention slips off them like water off an oiled pan.

What I often muse about as someone who builds software, are the parallels between the concerns of the architect and those of a UX designer. We've all seen styles and themes come and go, and some comparisons beg to be drawn. The flat design trends of recent years match the anonymous glass facades housing the FAANGs. Skeuomorphic interfaces as degenerate and overburdened as baroque twirls at their peak. Etc etc.

But underlying these comparisons is always the qualification of purpose. The flat and skeuo interfaces fall short precisely because they're decorated (or, undecorated) for style's sake, there's a disconnect from function - even if the function (especially if!) is to make the person faced with them feel a certain way.

Over the many years, the only interfaces I've seen fulfill their mission of connecting with the user, creating a unique space that immerses and engages, are those in games. Finely crafted one-offs, thematic, memorable, full of intricate detail, intimately connected to the subjects of the interaction, the mission, the overall story of the game.

They're coherent, involved, and what communicates that connection are the many details, specific and deliberate. Yes at first glance they're ornamental, but reveal themselves to be deeply functional after a longer look.

for me the numbers look different. The 61 cases were only the manual verified so the problem is much bigger.

just to be clear - the 61 duplicate voting cases were only for Ohio and Pennsylvania - the 400k duplicate profiles were across all 7 states we looked at.

Indeed there is certainly not mass voter fraud. We were glad not to find that, but tbh surprised that we found any at all. Originally we were only going to look for duplicate profiles - it didn't even occur to us to look for actual fraud.

But why not make it a complete non-issue? It would be so easy to fix this data so there were no duplicates, then there would not even be any accusations like there were in 2020.

What I want to create is complete trust in the data to avoid the... bickering later.

/edit - as the poster below mentions, the 61 were just the ones that were manually confirmed. There were 1000 potential cases.

Strings with maximum length are a bummer but null terminated strings have their own problems and are part of the whole "unsafe at any speed" nature of C.

The thing about the CoCo was that Radio Shack sold an absurd number of peripherals for it.

I got a "multi-pak" which would let me plug in four devices to the cartridge slot and I had a real UART for it. The built-in sound was awful but you could get an Orchestra-90, a speech synthesizer cartridge, etc. Most of the hardware and software at the time supported hardware flow control which made the bit-banger serial report more reliable than you might think at low speeds.

The video was a real problem, I think a lot of software didn't get ported to the Coco because everybody thought 40 column text was bad enough, who wants to deal with 32? For instance I never saw the Infocom games being available for the Coco although I found out just recently that Infocam had made a Z-Machine interpreter for it. Eventually they came out with a Coco 3 that had 80 column text and high resolution modes with a lot of colors but it was getting late at that point.

> Those properties are not a direct result of a function being collision-resistant

It kind of is though.

> as the comment you replied to above points out, there are non-cryptographic functions with good avalanche properties which would satisfy that need without being collision-resistant.

No comment I replied to points anything near that. Your comment has basically no content, and the comment before that only asserts such existence without providing any guidance or evidence, linking to a page about the general concept of non-cryptographic hash function, which is utterly useless.

Not only that but avalanche properties do not matter at all for the use case: the hash is just a label for the sequence, it's fine if two similar sequences get similar hashes as long as those hashes are different. Some identifiers (like geninfo) are just centrally assigned integers.
