The RISC-V authors rely heavily on the argument and assumption that any high performance implementation will do instruction fusion, and the lack of indexed addressing is precisely one of the things that is expected to be fused (see page 6 in https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~krste/papers/EECS-2016-130...).

Any implementation that does not do instruction fusion (most implementations - especially lower end ones) are out of luck, and have to pay the penalty of executing extra instructions.

All modern high performance ISA:s include indexed addressing modes (most also have scaled indexed addressing). Some RISC-V implementations add these as non-standard extensions.

RISC-V was not designed primarily for high performance. It targets the extremely low end (education, microcontrollers), and does it really well, and they have this clever trick (compression + instruction fusion) that makes the situation OK:ish for high end implementations. But it's not ideal.

Also worth noting is that instruction fusion is far from free. It may be negligible in a really big implementation that already does things like instruction translation (uOP caches etc), but it sure feels like an unnecessary burden to bring to an ISA that hasn't even had the time to build up a legacy baggage yet.

Furthermore, fused instructions often "leak" data to architectural registers (e.g. temporary registers used for address calculation), which both increases register pressure and requires that fused internal instructions must produce extra outputs (often unnecessarily).

Edit: Consider the following code (https://godbolt.org/z/8YdfoT34o):

void store(int* array, int index, int value) {
array[index] = value;
}

MRISC32:

store(int*, int, int):
stw r3, [r1, r2*4]
ret

RISC-V:

store(int*, int, int):
slli a1,a1,2 // writes to a1
add a0,a0,a1 // writes to a0
sw a2,0(a0)
ret

Note how the RISC-V version clobbers both the A1 and the A0 registers. Thus, a properly fused instruction would have to read from three registers and write to two register (that's bad!), whereas the MRISC32 solution only has to read three registers - no registers need to be written to (same thing for ARM and others). (You could teach the compiler to do an "add a1,a0,a1" instead so that only one register is clobbered, but that adds complexity to the compiler, and the micro architecture may not be able to rely such compiler optimizations but would most likely have to support the case with two clobbered registers anyway).

Edit 2: Another main reason for not including indexed addressing modes in RISC-V is that indexed stores require three source registers (i.e. at least three register file read ports are needed) - which is a big no-no in the RISC-V philosophy. For any implementation above the purely educational level, 3+ register file read ports is the norm, but AFAIK the RISC-V authors have claimed that the base integer ISA will never require more than two source operands. I think that this philosophy weighs very heavily - more so than optimal performance.
> How could remote work not be more productive?

When I had to WFH for a year during COVID, my productivity completely plummeted, almost to zero. It was very hard for me to be actually productive for more than 60-120 minutes each day. I could be playing video games or guitar, or watching videos, or petting my cats, or doing dishes, or cooking, or going for a walk. Instead I have to sit at this desk and do work? Ehh... no one will notice if I bug out for an hour... six times per day. I hated it, the guilt of being paid to do nothing stacked up like crazy. I went back to the office on the very first day that my state allowed me to. I wore a mask at the office every day for months in 2021, because the alternative was to WFH. Having to work remote was one of the worst periods of my life, and I think this experience soured my feelings about the work so much that it was a significant factor in my decision to eventually leave that job.

(This is not a statement about anything or anyone other than myself. If WFH works for you, great. It doesn't work for me.)

That’s weirdly reductive. The point isn’t to feel persistently happy—happiness is fleeting— it's to not feel hopeless and inconsolably miserable. I’m chemically prone to depression— diagnoses and everything— and even at my most depressed I’ll still feel moments of happiness. It’s the pervasive lack of hope, vitality, and the ability to see what’s good in your life that’s dangerous. Feeling grateful might not be a silver bullet for being in this mental state, but trying to more objectively view your situation in context and recognizing the good parts is an important part of grounding yourself when your perspective is skewed by depression.

Blik is explicitly not private in that sense, you have to trust your bank to use it. Not sure what they meant by that.

The solution to that problem is to count the travel time and any required breaks as part of work hours while also reimbursing all travel expenses. That would require employers to pay the full cost of unnecessary in-person work on both ends and would strongly disincentivize them from doing it.

Employers reimbursing your travel expenses if they need you to travel to a conference on the other side of the country is already the norm so why shouldn't they reimburse your travel expenses if they want you to travel somewhere in the same geographic area?

> Frankly, your load shedding or back pressure system is probably implemented on a queue one layer down the abstraction.

If you're building an API, you don't care how your clients cope with your backpressure. You just want to avoid overloading your services, and queues will indeed not help you with that past a certain point, whereas backpressure probably will. Or at least you can scale backpressure much more cheaply than you can scale queues.
Don’t make excuses. Putting psychopaths in the drivers seat is a precipitation of capitalism. Capitalism decides the ultimate KPI, and eventually things shake out this way. We don’t just get to say, yes, there goes another psychopathic executive, and wash our hands of the whole thing. Christ. We all make systems for a living. Look at indirect consequences.
I think it's the threshold of all people to truly understand that there's no solution to certain problems, only tradeoffs.

Queues are great, but can lead to catastrophic failure if you don't have a good way of handling the queue, so making an active choice about how you handle overload is part of designing a robust and resilient system.

Trading off new requests for current requests is, in my experience, a valid strategy for eCommerce for example. We called it "quenching".

What's the difference from the previous state? You had to carry a driving license but the government had all the info anyway.

If you didn't have the license on you, they'd find you in the DB anyway. Possibly you get a €10 fine. The electronic driving license is just a simplification to me. You don't have to carry anything.
This kind of nuance is also brought up in sister comments, but you probably explained it best. With the caveat that C-suite mandates should not be the only determinant; let teams have some degree of autonomy and self-organization, and be able to advocate for what works best for them.

It’s unfortunate that there’s now very little nuance in American discourse especially, whether that’s in business, politics, economics, or society. Everything is an ideological “cause” worth fighting for, with an inverted bell curve showing lots of people at the extremes, and precious few in the middle.

It doesn’t bode well. I fear America is devolving toward a 1980s Lebanon-style civil war, with everyone fighting against everyone at least at one point or another. The military could step in, but then we’d essentially have martial law which isn’t much better. It may seem silly to bring this up in a thread about remote work, but it’s really a microcosm for how polarized we’ve become.
> New Health Minister Cholnan Srikaew has announced that cannabis extracts containing more than 0.2 percent of the active ingredient tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, will be classified as narcotics.

If my math is correct (100 / 0.2 * 5 / 1000), 2.5 grams (if you're an imperial person, a gram bag is a 1 inch by 1 inch bag) of that cannabis extract will get you as high as a regular joint (which has 5mg of THC).

So that sounds conservative, but still permissive.
I'm not sure why the post highlights dental/vision care; these aren't covered by health insurance anyways.

I've done the no health insurance thing, and I've done the catastrophic-only health insurance thing. That resulted in a bankruptcy from $90k in medical costs, and that's after the various bits of charity care, neogtiation, and whatnot.

It works great, until it suddenly doesn't. These days, I pay the $3,063/month insurance bill... not happily, but I absolutely pay it.
This is a pretty good way to go bankrupt when you have a real health emergency

But such conditions are rare and localized. When looking for extreme dew point values, I found this statement: "The highest dew point ever recorded was 35 °C, or 95 °F. This occurred on 8th July, 2003, in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. This happened because the air temperature was 42 °C, or 108 °F, and the relative humidity was 68.5 %."

So tropical latitudes might care about temperature / dew point near those numbers, Northern Europe and friends spend their time worrying about freezing.

Show HN: Built an AI tool for movie lovers to find and get recommendations
I've built Movievanders. As someone who's really passionate about movies, I've put together a little tool that I think you might find handy. It uses artificial intelligence to help you find movies and get recommendations. For example, you can search with natural language queries like “a movie about a crash in the Andes,” or ask for suggestions similar to your favorites, say “something like '2001: A Space Odyssey’.”

It’s linked up with TMDb, so you get direct access to their database, plus links to JustWatch (to find out where you can stream or rent the movie) and IMDb for more info.

People today write static blogs with TS/React/Next/whatever because that's what they know. It's not because it's the best tool for the job (or even close to that).

It has become standard to use React/Next/GraphQL for any new project, regardless if you're building a new Google Docs (which definitely benefits from JS) or yet another CRUD application that has lists, details and the occasional interactive page like a graph or something similar.

That's the crux of the issue: we seem to have lost the ability to think critically and choose what we require, in favor of copy pasting choices from everyone else and calling it a day.

Once you're heavily invested in all the JS-only technology, your incentive is to stay in that lane. To consider better alternatives is simply too costly for many.

That's why we turn everything in sight into JS. Someone I can't recall said once: everything that can will be rewritten in JS. We even have people building email templates with React now because all they know is JavaScript.
Nothing is wrong with that - it's the issue of attempting to impose it on others which is objectionable.

Each year, national math olympiad committees submit their toughest problems to the IMO. A select group makes the "shortlist," a pool of ~32 questions (8 per geometry, algebra, number theory, combinatorics). From this pool, the final six IMO problems are chosen through a rigorous voting process.

What makes a great IMO problem? It's all about originality. Ideal problems aren't just about applying advanced theorems, but rather test creative thinking and mastery of fundamental principles. Of course, there were cases in which the IMO committee didn't realize a problem was an obvious corrolary of a grad-level theorem, and some well-read (highschool) students benefited from knowing that!

My Journey: I was once a top-ranked competitor myself. After high school, I joined my country's math olympiad committee.

> PageRank (temporarily as we've learned) managed to filter out the spam.

It was more temporary (shorter time period) than you probably realize.

I was a developer on the Google web indexing system. PageRank was only one of many signals that went into ranking, and PageRank was gamed by link farms pretty early. There's a whole team dedicated to fighting webspam, and their spam signals are some of the other inputs to the scorer.

By Google's golden years, there was a whole lot of secret sauce going into fighting webspam, and PageRank had been pretty thoroughly gamed.

PageRank was important, but I think its importance is generally over-estimated.

Also, about 15 years ago, Google was testing another link-graph-based metric that was more efficient to calculate and less susceptible to linkfarms. I imagine PageRank (as described in the patent/Wikipedia) has been replaced, though perhaps the new algorithm is still referred to as PageRank. (IIRC, the proposed replacement was being called PageRankNG while in testing.)
