It's not necessarily an inefficient ISA wrt. insn count, since you could trivially fuse the sequence Rd ← Rs1, Rd ← op(Rd, Rs2) to the usual 3-address form Rd ← op(Rs1, Rs2). The better argument AIUI is that it's not really worth it; you might think that you can get away with 16bit insns only, but the encoding space gets quite tight already w/ 16 general registers. Moving to 32bit insns with a 16b compressed format is an easy choice, and then you can comfortably support 32 registers and three-address insns.

Even the SuperH folks seem to have realized this since later versions do use 32bit insns with 16bit as a special case, much like Thumb2 and RISC-V. Some ISAs have 24bit insns but these are rather clunky in other ways.
$1,200 is really lower than any company that want to incentive patents would pay.

Sometimes i feel like people make too much of the "parasocial" buzzword, as if its new.

Entertainers have been doing the pass the hat thing for hundreds of years. It is not a new phenomenom.

Historically, it has generally worked for entertainers, and i guess religion. I don't think there are historical paralells to open source really. Maybe it just doesn't work for that sort of thing.
Paraphrasing, “Everyone should assume everything is FUD and lies all the time, become more educated, and be more critical and questioning”.

It is not surprising. Default behavior is the king. It is not that easy to change default search on phones. Most of the traffic goes from there. Mobile is the king

This will eventually lead to Google downfall, as it may feel overconfident. This may result someday in a sudden shift, change at search.

I do not think that search engines have any future. It will be replaced by bots period. It would be dumb for Google to invest any money in normal search.

Normies will not want to google anything, or browse links, if computer will be able "to tell", or produce answer instead of links. No further search is required. Search is already dead.
Sounds to me like you need to install GrapheneOS.

Also, I'd suggest ditching SMS and encouraging family and friends to use an encrypted chat app instead.

This is usually the car's fault, especially if the car was made over a decade ago. Hell, back when I got my first car with Bluetooth built in, almost no contemporary Bluetooth devices would function with it.
Speaking of doomsday, for power outages, I have portable radios that using 18650 batteries and sdcards with music and audio dramas. Probably lose power 2-4 times a year, weather related.

And my local cell internet goes down after 30 minutes of power outage, as the local tower only runs on battery backup. So content on removable storage is the way to go.

AI translators are opening up the whole world to communication. I can talk to and do business with people even if we speak no common language. I can parse information from any language now.

Incredible that you hackers are down voting this, I answered his question exactly. AI translators are very useful tools for international business and communication. Some languages were impossible for machine translating up until a few years ago. This has a real impact on the world for non-tech people. It's not a toy.

Definitely unnecessary for them to be a part of every educated person’s library. This is a pretty absurd viewpoint. The reality is that there are loads of educated people who contribute vast amounts to the world without even the most passing familiarity with “modern math”.

I also don’t agree with the sentiment of the rest of the post, sorry. If someone is casually or recreationally interested in math, building a comprehensive view of modern math just… isn’t important. If you’re interested in spending more time with math, just do it—don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. There’s no right approach other than the one that makes you happy.
I'd like to think that people designing this aren't idiots - they are very well trained intelligent engineers.

Agreed. It's just so clear to me that role(s) flex between those set of tasks as need be ... and that should be clear to both manager and managed ...

The manager shouldn't be a control freak about being in the office 5 days a week ... and the managed shouldn't be a whiny baby when asked to come do some human stuff ... somewhere in the middle is the promised land and it should't be that hard to find.

Having said that ... I had an experience with a colleague recently that reminded that not much of this is based on reason.

A package is non-unique if it is available in at least 2 repositories. Guess what. Repology tracks Guix as well which means many packages will be just in those two repos, marking them as non-unique.

If you want a non-misleading comparison you have to remove all these packages, which are actually managed by a different package manager every. from nixpkgs and put that into repology.

That seems like a good way for the courts to get rid of political opponents whenever it's convenient. I think it'd be a lot less dangerous to just put a restriction on how soon something deemed unconstitutional can be proposed again. A cool down period isn't so bad, and ideally, if someone in congress keeps putting forward a bill nobody wants they'd be voted out of office by the people.

Just to point out, but aviation accident investigations do not use '5 Whys' or any dumbed-down framework like that.

They go and list everything that went wrong, without even a lot of concern for causality. They also list all reasonable points of improvement, regardless if they were important for this one incident or not.

Human error is always there, of course. But the idea that they are blaming this on the human is wrong. They are not blaming anything on anything.
> If after a few years, it doesn't work, you go back to the market for more office space.

Isn't this what they did?

It's been a few years since the big shift to WFH and some execs think it's not working and are pushing for return to office.

Don't get me wrong, I think the reality of WFH is a lot more nuanced than the public debate is making it seem, it works for some and not for others.

But if the typical exec was to do what you are proposing, I feel like the visible affects to us would be exactly what we're already seeing.

Later, there's a comment pointing out a transliteration of battle axe into english yields a word that starts with y.

Combining that:

> 鉞 is yuè in pinyin, a romanization of Chinese.

and another comment shows that using Chinese to search for Axe on Google Images returns the original clip art:

> Me getting into the shoes of the designer: Assumptions: 1. The designer is in a hurry. 2. They would search in their language which I found via google translate is 斧头

However, 斧头 doesn't yield anything that starts with Y, and Google image search doesn't really seem to understand that that 鉞 (yuè) means axe. Duck Duck Go image search returns pictures of axes for 鉞, but doesn't show the original clip art in the top of its search results.

At any rate, it's unlikely the designer was using either of those search engines. Perhaps some Chinese search engine displays the "translation" of 鉞 to yué, and also provides the correct clipart.
Like I said before its a matter of degree. Are you not already assuming this? Why not? Is being more critical and questioning not a good thing? Is being more educated not a good thing?
From Wiki:

The only thing that's real is the actual stuff in the physical world that you can see and hear with your own senses. Mechanical/digital/artistic reproductions (text/images/videos) were never real and I'm a bit baffled by how all those "loss of consensus truth" doomer takes overlook that fact. 1980s-2010s mass media is not the be-all end-all of possible worldviews and human communication/coordination patterns.
Another correction, nagel might technically still have the meaning (metal) nail in the dictionary but it's not understood that way in modern swedish.
I would notice, but working there is a good and bad thing. Good in the sense that someone saw potential in you, its a signal of polish and intellect. Bad in the sense there is literally no guarantee that you are good at anything, and could actually be a net negative in many places. You could also think you’ve ‘made it’ and be a bit spoiled after a few years, thinking that the level of output you deliver there would be remotely acceptable at other, more nimble organizations.
If Apple can't sustain those clock speeds for long, that's reflected in the benchmark result. Benchmarks and real-world performance are the only metrics which matter in the end.

And higher clock speed doesn't proportionally improve either real world metrics or benchmark results, so "benchmark score divided by clock speed" is a useless metric.

I suspect many are aware of this but for those uninformed:

Reiser committed premeditated murder of his (ex?)wife Nina around 2006 and hid her body so well they could not find her. He made his children think either that their mother abandoned them. He had thought without a body he could not be charged and convicted.

I believe he waited until it was apparent he would lose the trial and then plead down so that they could recover her body.

I want to believe redemption is possible, especially given how eloquent he is, but his demonstration of calculation over emotion in her murder makes me strongly question his change.

> We havent had an ability to tell whats real and whats not for a long time. Photos have been able to be doctored since well before photoshop, writing style imitated, signatures forged etc. This is a change of degree, thats all.

This kind of argument rubs me the wrong way. It's like saying a printing press is just a faster scriptorium, or a nuclear bomb is just a change in degree from a hand grenade. It's misleading because it ignores the monumental difference in society these later inventions brought about, which were not caused by the previous inventions, and never would have been. It ends up being an argument to not engage with the reality of the situation.
"but if its in a little baggies that are commonly used for distribution, I'd probably say that would be enough."

I'd say possibly. Like in my original comment, if they have a record of distribution that adds a lot of weight. Just having a baggie of powder, or rock candy, etc isn't enough.

As a kid, I had little baggies of glow powder I would sometimes have on me. I've had some unlabeled white pills in my car (asprin) in case of an emergency. I'm sure there are other examples too. It's not really about what's common, but what's probable - those are two different things. But yes they would require more details to differentiate.
Yeah, I'm not extremely extroverted either which is an issue because trying to make sure I reach the minimum amount of socialising I need to not tank my mental health is quite hard for me when I'm expected to do it 100% by myself. When you have a life at the office, you have a certain amount of passive social interaction and I think that's actually easier for people who are a bit shy. I certainly have a few friends left from uni and hobbies outside work, but trying to make new friends without any settings where you meet every day is quite hard imo. And I do not have as many friends as I would like so it feels hopeless for me. Or it did until I joined a sociable workplace with compulsory office time and other young people.
> Who was really reading/believing articles written by random people anyway? I would not take any random blog as true or useful unless I was familiar with the author and their work.

That works for you, but for everyone else who is less diligent in source evaluation, this now gets worse. Don't you agree that society suffers when a large proportion of people now get their information from fake sources?
Someone in Amazon probably decided that Audible's unit economics could afford to take a 30% cut, while Kindle's could not.

I'm not surprised, since you can often buy a Kindle + Audible book for cheaper than buying the Audible book alone.

If you look at the Audible book (such as Wool https://www.audible.com/pd/Wool-Audiobook/B0BKR3Y6SP) the price is often higher than if you look at the Kindle book price, and adding the Audible narration (https://www.amazon.com/Wool-Hugh-Howey-ebook/dp/B088SY4GSD).

In the Wool example, the Audible book is $31.64, but the Kindle book with the audible add-on is $9.48 ($1.99 + $7.49). Even if the Kindle book was selling for "list price", it would still be cheaper at $27.48.

So, I'm guessing there's just a lot less margin headroom to eat a 30% cut on Kindle prices, but plenty to eat that on Audible's prices.

BlackBerry had BBM on their legacy devices and it didn't stop the original iPhone from being a hit. BlackBerry released their BB10 devices in January 2013 with BBM that were very competitive, and objectively better than the iPhone at the time, and it did not stop the iPhone. Then BlackBerry released BBM on Android and iPhone allowing cross-platform communication with objectively the best messenger available at the time. It failed.

The success of the iPhone was built on the culture of iPhone-first app development and the unwillingness of companies to develop for a third platform.
My daughter drinks Miralax every morning, which is a white powder. When we go on trips I usually put a few scoops in clear plastic bag rather than take the entire container.

From my college days, I seem to recall cocaine being a different consistency than Miralax. But I don’t know about other drugs and at first glance it definitely looks suspicious.

I am aware that my willingness to do this is a sign of my privilege, that many people in the US do not enjoy.

Low effort response, but seriously reading about this non-sense in the USA I'm wondering why you guys even have laws in the first place. Either have them and enforce them, or get rid of them via democratic means. Right now it seems like you have the worst of both, and real people get stuck in the middle.

What do you define as the "last two tech revolutions"? I don't disagree with you, but I'm curious how far back you're thinking.
Let's put it this way. I'm expected to be readily accessible for 9-10 hours/day, and reachable for some hours outside of that. I have some operational responsibilities in the morning, maybe 1~3 hours of meetings and fully understood we get in far less than 5 hours of intense work. People are generally cool with me being totally away from desk for lunch.

How I spend the time in between in terms of doing research/reading/etc is up to me. If I had to do this in an office setting it would suck to be stuck there when stuff does come up.

The typical business reason to do this is to erect patent walls around areas of innovation or investment happening parallel to the patents to prevent others from either competing directly or suing to enforce their own parents through a mutually assured destruction argument. Rarely is it a patent is the genesis of invention at these companies but as a result of other activity.
They won't give you months worth of chemo, or a liver transplant. You will die without them, but the hospital has no legal obligation to prevent that in these cases. You can keep coming back to the ER, getting progressively sicker and sicker, and they'll give you fluids, pain meds, treat acute symptoms, and then refer you to an oncologist or surgeon, who won't treat you further without knowing it's gonna be paid for.

I've provided a very concrete example of how this plays out.
