> You are confusing deadlock with scheduling. Sure, deadlock can happen in the absence of "cooperation". And lack of on-time scheduling can happen in a cooperatively scheduled system in the absence of the appropriate cooperation.

I was describing situations much broader than deadlock. The following pseudocode is not deadlock, but nevertheless a failure of cooperation:

WaitForMutex(m)
DoSomeReallyLongComputation()

My point was that the above code in a preemptively scheduled system is as damaging to all tasks that will contend for "m" as this code is in a cooperatively scheduled system:

DoSomeReallyLongComputation()

> But scheduling has been considered by most kernel designers to be the responsible of the kernel, not the participants (i.e. preemptively scheduled threads not cooperatively).

Yes and no. Schedulers tend to have parameters. Realtime systems will rely heavily on those parameters. Those parameters will sometimes even include promises for thread T to not run for more than X amount of time in a period of Y time.

> Even if a thread is going to deadlock as soon as it starts running (again), there is a huge difference between that thread being scheduled at the right time and it not being scheduled. You can fix the former (deadlock) with better coding. You cannot fix the latter without fixing the kernel.

This is true in a preemptively scheduled kernel. It's kind of tautological that fixing issues with resource X needs to fix the kernel IFF X is managed by the kernel. See also my above paragraph about kernel scheduler parameters.

[edit]

Just saw who I was replying to. I suspect that you and I have different visions of what a "Real Time System" is, given that I'm thinking industrial control and you're probably thinking audio. There's definitely overlap in theory and discipline, but the hardware and software stacks are rather different.

You are mocking people using a false dichotomy. Complaining that some individuals shouldn't be able to control trillion in wealth don't imply a push for centrally planned economies.

Let's be clear: Amazon has been responsible for the shutting down of so many in-person businesses that entire product categories are can only be purchased on Amazon.

The choice is a false one.
No, it's not even a convention, _start is most commonly not where .text begins.

Compiling a static hello world binary on my system (aarch64 fedora 39, gcc -static hello.c -o hello), .text starts at 0x410080, e_entry is at 0x4103c0, and the _start symbol is also at 0x4103c0. This is not unusual at all.

Wonder how much of that change was personal and how much marketing. He'd be far from the first artist to appeal to the "thug life" despite having a relatively comfortable and conflict-free childhood. But in the 90's the music industry went HARD on selling that image.
You know that not every company is Amazon, right? You can't just generalize those terrible experiences to every company.

I happen to agree that there needs to be some big legal changes to ensure workers at Amazon and other companies are treated better, because before Amazon it was Walmart, and in 50 years it'll probably be another company. But that doesn't mean you can use Amazon as a reason to legislate personal wealth away.
People have always peed in bottles when they're on a long drive, piloting an airplane long distance, on a sailboat, and so on. Some peoples' bladders have a short fuse, and carry a bottle.

Do you think Lindberg brought a port-a-potty along with his Spirit of St Louis? I remember the opening sequence in a Jeff Bridges movie where he pulls over in his car and dumps his pee bottle.

P.S. My dad was a B-17 navigator in WW2. I asked him what did they do when had to go. He said an empty ammo box was used. What was done with the full box? "Extra bombs over Germany!"

Thank you to sibling ggdG for presenting even more evidence.

But I don't get your reply at all, wtallis. "the next few paragraphs should be about backing that claim up with convincing evidence and explanations" - which is what the stuff about the Diamond Princess, SARS-1 and Hong Kong was about? Evidence and explanations for why the droplet model was wrong. Do you see that? The connection is that the claim exposure as simple as inverse square law on distance assumes no aerosol transmission, which is incorrect.

It's hard not to feel that if people didn't keep flagging these kinds of discussions off the front pages, the wider HN community would be aware of all these basic facts which as the sibling post points out, is actually not controversial and hasn't been for years. HN is supposed to be about intellectual curiousity but the aggressive flagging behavior talked about by others in this thread means that too many posters here are stuck in a timewarp where it's still Jan 2020.

But Merrick Garland is a Biden appointee. Don't you think leaders should be held accountable for the actions of their administration?

Of course, as vjulian points out, they aren't masterminding everything that their subordinates do, but they do choose who to appoint and have the power to reverse anything they disapprove of once they learn about it.

Dumb argument. Is water a pollutant because of the drowning risk?
Can you also list the original times on the front page for consistency in rankings?
Fair enough. Still, I would disagree. Communism was tried and failed, its environmental effects (while bad) were therefore limited. Capitalism has endured great challenges for much longer, and despite increasing discontent with the system in many areas of the world, doesn’t appear likely to go anywhere. If that’s the case, the prodigious output of environmental harm capitalism generates won’t go anywhere either. Green energy and green technology won’t stop all instances of microplastics polluting our rivers or junk toys collecting in landfills.
> There are countless programs that redistribute wealth.

They purport to, yes, but for most of them, when you dig into the details, you find that what redistribution actually occurs is not from richer to poorer, but the opposite. And much of the money spent on the programs doesn't go to the purported recipients of redistribution at all, but to third parties. (For example, you cite public schools as redistributing wealth--but government funds for public schools only pass through the hands of the families whose children need schooling in the case of school vouchers, which are fairly rare, and in any case the money doesn't stay with those people, it ends up in the hands of the schools themselves. Given the current state of education in the US, anyone who wants to make a case that whatever redistribution of wealth occurs actually benefits the children and families has a very tough case to make.)
If you're going to bring up Kerouac with his rolls of paper, you're better off talking about WordStar than Word. Word divides the document into discrete pages, while WordStar documents were long uninterrupted ribbons of text, just like Kerouac's rolls. Perhaps Kerouac "got it," but so do George R.R. Martin and Robert Sawyer, writers who continue to use WordStar decades after its demise (Sawyer even talks about the benefits of this undivided waterfall of text on his website [0]. Text editors also similarly long ribbons of text, and are just as conducive to putting words down as any bloated word processor that is optimized to produce two page corporate memos or colorful party posters to be posted in the lunch room.

I've used Word professionally since the mid-1990s. I do know how to use it properly, and it still sucks.

"Writing" isn't meant to be done in a word processor, which was developed as a business tool, not a creative tool. Writing should be done in whatever tool one wants to write in.

Word is, be design, both a desktop publishing app and a secretarial tool. For book-length writing, it works poorly with long files, the file format is subject to corruption. The docx format is also proprietary and subject to Microsoft's whim; any conversion scheme is a hack (though Pandoc and many others do work adequately). Unless you learn the ins and outs of Word's style scheme (and sometimes even if you do) and follow it slavishly, formatting is often inconsistent and there's no certainty that the styles you apply to make your document to make it look a certain way ensure it looks that way on someone else's machine.

There's no doubt, though, that a Word-compatible word processor needs to be in every writers' toolkit, since it is the standard in the publishing world.

Yep, Ive found that, generally, caching logic should be a separate flow from business logic. E.g wrap your RPC logic such that an in-memory cache transparently sits in your RPC stack. This lets you implement locking on the cache in a single place, and makes it easy to do things like eager prefetching or offloading cache logic to another thread.
Yes, you should get that checked out.
CEO pay in America was forced to be made transparent by Congressional law.

Shortly thereafter CEO pay started to skyrocket. There's no evidence CEOs started doing a 10x better job running companies but their pay sure as heck increased, 10x then 100x!

Countless studies have shown that workers are not motivated by money beyond around low six figures.

There is no reason to suspect a CEO earning $100 million is 100 times more dedicated to the job than one earning $1 million dollars.

I bet you'll find their track record is a lot better than that of non-wealthy people. Most non-wealthy people I know do a lousy job of managing their finances.

Frontline ran an episode a few years ago about 401k plans. They found that the wealthier the employee was, the better returns they had on the company 401k plan, despite the fact that the plan was identical for all the employees.

This is only partially true.

1. the amount of renewable will increase which will mean that this will not count in 50 years while gas cars will still burn fuel.

2. the overall co2 production is relevant smaller with EVs. There is probably a high correliation to co2 vs. energy (otherwise it would be weird).

Yes, most likely - but "recall for every vehicle sold in the U.S" gets you more clicks.
Empirical observation is only a way to determine what is, and not what could be.

Since we know that human behavior ("nature") is substantively malleable, we need to know what could be, not merely what is.

You can no longer trust anything or anyone. If you speak out your shot, reprimanded or gagged.

Regardless to who owns who's data it will always be misused, abused or used for something.

And as data is now a commodity that can be sold to anyone and the sci-fi dystopian future is already one. There is no freedom nor freedom to speech, with the ability that we can reach space on a commercial level with satellites, fear for the worse.

The internet is a failure. It brings usefulness but sure isn't used for it; not anymore at least.

Prove me wrong, but with the masses lapping up social media, you'll going to have a hard time proving it. My two cents.
Who said anything about fewer?
I'm not sure. Inpainting doesn't seem like right way to think about the R1. My understanding is that visionOS uses a rendered mode that gives the application limited control once they've sent the data. That lets the system re-render the application's stale data correctly. In exchange, apps have limited control over the render (whatever can be translated into a subset of MaterialX.)

That said, I know Unity's Polyspatial does have a flag to update the draw for each eye individually, so it seems like some disorientation should be possible, but it would be coming from inconsistent data across the eyes, not the way the system processes your head's orientation or the passthrough.
Parental controls and enterprise management/MDM are the same product. That's important to the kind of people who'll buy hundreds of your devices.

It feels like regulators are at risk of crossing into the territory of issuing “recalls” against Tesla that they wouldn’t otherwise because 1) it’s actually possible for them to edit minuscule details through OTA updates, and 2) Tesla is against the ropes and they can score points by making it look like they are doing something.

As an aside, I find the media fervor around any Tesla recall more ironic because of the fact that my Model Y is likely the safest car I’ve ever driven.

It’s a IIHS top pick, is insanely good at detecting dangerous situations related to pedestrians and other vehicles, and there are so many software-based safety enhancements in this car that I’ve never seen in other vehicles.
Me neither. One Plus Nord N30, Android 13. Last security update 1/5/24.
One of the highlights is at 8m20s: hiring committee rejects their own application packets (with names changed).
We'll see. Musk said the same thing about Grok, and that didn't quite turn out the way he expected.
Most of the time, these "recalls" are OTA software updates. My guess is that the word "recall" is necessary wording but doesn't imply anymore a mandatory physical fix on the car.
Is the original a critique of utilitarianism as an ethical framework?
The vast majority of safety-related recalls across all automobiles involve seat belts, brakes, electrical components or wiring, tires, door latches, fuel pumps, and ignition switches.

The fact that you think the font-size of an indicator somehow is indicative of a larger problem makes no sense to me. We can look at actual data -- this minor thing being a "test" that they failed is just something you want be significant but isn't supported by anything.

I honestly don't know how many automobiles recalls are related to non-standardized issues in other car manufactures so what are you comparing this to? How do you know that Tesla is better or worse than other manufacturers in this way?
I wonder if this changed with the seasons. In the winter, the night is longer than normal sleep amount and might make sense putting extra time in the middle of night. In the summer, the night is shorter and would sleep through.

Pkl was one of the best internal tools at Apple, and it’s so good to see it finally getting open sourced.

My team migrated several kloc k8s configuration to pkl with great success. Internally we used to write alert definitions in pkl and it would generate configuration for 2 different monitoring tools, a pretty static documentation site and link it all together nicely.

Would gladly recommend this to anyone and I’m excited to be able to use this again.

> This is a thought terminating cliche and pedantically destroys the conversation.

It is not. Quite contrary. The thought it provokes is "what chemicals do you want to ban?" Do you want to ban water? Should we throw anyone in a prison who transports it? It is a chemical after all. One which is quite dangerous in many circumstances.

But surely that is not what edgyquant meant. Should we prohibit people selling soap? It is a chemical! But that is silly. We would probably lose more by banning that than by not banning it.

Should we ban plastics? Maybe? Which types? All types? All uses?

Should we sell hydrazine in grocery stores? Oh, we better not. Can we use hydrazine in special applications like fuelling satellites? If so what do we require from people who handle/store/dispose of it?

So many thoughts provoked by that simple observation.
There's ~0 explication of why they feel this way after reading the text, other than musing about manipulation, and the text cited isn't editorialized. [^1]

I think it's charitable, but unwarranted, to claim they're implying they'd like more editorialization and a quick winner/losers narrative. They seem to indicate negative feelings towards that.

It does seem as simple as they see 2 headlines and 2 stock symbols in some kind of tension that implies editorialization and an unsustainable situation for everyone.

The idea that divine intervention places limits on rulers, like Genghis Kahn, could be supported by Genesis 20:3–7, where a king is prevented from sinning through divine intervention.
That looks really nice. I like the idea of a sub-shell where all the work is either committed or reverted.

I would like to see something like a “workspace” where even untracked files can be shelved in a named space and returned (or picked) after some operation. I could imagine a tool like yours where a snapshot of the current working set is made and a subshell with a clean repo created. Do some work, commit or not, and when the shell is exited, everything is back to the way it was (garbage and all).

I'd call the flaggers colluding to spike stories with lively and non toxic discussions the 'activists'.

So add a flame war tag, or a politics tag, and let people filter it. Filter it with AI. Grow a thicker skin, or expand your mind - there's a lot of options. Suppressing anything with a whiff of controversy doesn't result in positive outcomes.

Besides; freedom of speech, and free exchange of ideas, are both decidedly in the "good hacker" wheelhouse.
