I would think that the primary benefit of this over existing decompiler tools would be the ability to use sensible names for identifiers, break up a project to be a sensible set of modules, and maybe even add realistic / helpful comments. If you're synthesizing code to do that, you'll probably gain on the front of generating code that compiles, at the cost of these advantages.

Ahh ok.
I can't think of a single use case for nought that wouldn't be equally satisfied by "zero". Or courgette that wouldn't be satisfied by zuchini, or both of those by "baby marrow". Or why use "oregano" when you could use "wild marjoram"? A perfectly good English name that has been largely displaced by an Italian word.

English (as all modern languages) has tons and tons of exact synonyms and other types of redundant words. It's just a normal part of usage.

In this specific case I personally prefer whinge for emphasizing the complaint and whine for emphasising the noise, so I don't really think they are redundant - I think they are slightly different.
I bought a small screw-cutting lathe during lockdown.

Ever since I've found my self looking a small metal parts and wondering if/how I would make them on my lathe.

i.e. what order of operations I would use, how would I hold the work, do I need extra milling operations?

I can happily waste an afternoon looking at a toilet roll holder working all that out.

A real puzzler for me was, how do you make hex sockets at home?

Barack Obama was a community organizer working with the Catholic church for like a minute and a half in the mid-1980s.

You didn't live here at the time (also, you were like 2 years old), but you went to NWU and so you're still probably aware of what was happening on the south side in the '80s: the steel industry collapsed, gutting the south side economy. If anything, organizing in the 1980s was distinctively class-based, not race-based. It was a big story. The nuns taught it to us at St. Barnabas.

Meanwhile, Obama's "job" before "politics" was as a well-regarded full-time law teacher at the University of Chicago, a job he held 3x longer than his brief stint as an organizer 20 years prior.
> What point am I missing? What jobs will these drivers work now that they can't drive for Uber or Lyft?

The problem is (it appears) you're looking at this solely from the framework of free market dogma. The operation of market is assumed to be optimal, the Uber drivers had a nominal choice when they took a job with Uber, and that nominal choice cures any issue anyone could have with the terms of their employment, etc.

While seductive, that framework is oversimple, and misses much.

> My point, that you're missing, is that there was no coercion in this decision between driving for ride share versus the alternative.

I am not missing that point at all. In fact, I find that point exceedingly tiresome due to how often it's repeated. At it's core, it's an apologia for fully taking advantage of a man's desperation (which I reject), and then twists that into some kind of good deed, so someone can pat themselves on the back for it afterwards (which just adds insult to injury).

> How were Uber and Lyft bullying drivers?

What I was referring to is their attempt to bully the Minneapolis city government and other governments that may take action to give drivers a better deal.

That might help to some degree, but I bet actually exercising your back muscles regularly will have a larger effect.

I mean I'm sure of it. It seems like common sense we've forgotten. Stress the muscles, eat a generous amount of protein, they will grow and get stronger. Do stuff that doesn't stress them as much, they will stay weak and that will lead to complications.

Similar to how the discussion around obesity has become so complicated, in a country where the #1 cause of death is heart disease. It is not complicated, obesity leads to heart disease, to reduce your risk, you must become less obese. Yet we insist on complicating the topic.

This might be being reconsidered; I don't have the full details but I've seen some talk about attestation being expanded to handle roaming keys as well.

I think that's a mistake -- I think there are a lot of security and UX considerations around roaming keys that make attestation not suitable: For example, what happens when a user moves between ecosystems and finds out after the fact that their new ecosystem isn't supported? Also does attestation for an ecosystem and not just for a device actually offer any strong security or phishing guarantees? Apple supports sharing passkeys with contacts, so what phishing protection are you actually getting here?

I'm a little bit skeptical of attestation in general, but there are scenarios where some regulatory bodies might really want it, and many of these specific concerns don't exist for device-bound keys, and you do actually get some strong security guarantees from them, so attestation at least makes a bit more sense there. I look at a company asking for attestation for device-bound keys and think, "yeah, that makes sense, you want a strong security boundary around the key."

But my point isn't to argue one way or another, just to point out that, yes, keychain-synced passkeys on devices like iOS don't support attestation right now. But I don't know if that's going to be the case in the future or how that will change when certification starts ramping up.

> but Apple frustratingly just removed the option rather than leaving the choice to relying parties (websites). This makes their passkeys unusable for some regulated/sensitive use cases that did depend on attestation.

I'm too far out from the tech to speak confidently about it and I'm sure there are considerations I'm not aware of, but it really seems to me from the outside that a key being synced or device-bound should have been an attribute of the passkey and not like an entirely separate system. I know there are considerations with hardware tokens and resident key limits, but I also suspect part of this is that roaming keys were a later addition, my understanding is that they were relatively controversial when first proposed and so maybe that led to them kind of evolving separately? I'm just guessing though. It is very weird that iOS requires passkeys to be roaming keys.

Freedom of movement. Cars represent freedom of movement akin to a horse with a trailer, except you have an engine instead of a horse.

I dont think Americans care for the current road monopoly states have, or the monopolistic tolls and enforcement.

The idea of freedom of movement isn't really a European-centric ideal - its more uniquely American and derived from being a nation derived from those escaping injustices of Europe and searching freedom and liberty.

With the history of Europe being based in serfdom - peasants being forced to work their lord's land for protection - the idea of freedom of movement never really seemed to be of importance.

Those who deemed it important probably emigrated from Europe to America.

This includes development of displays, chips, production, software (ios, android), apps etc.

AI is building upon this speed and only has software and specialized hardware and the AI we are currently building is already optimizing itself (copilot etc.).

And the output is not something 'new' which changes a few things like navigation, post service, banking but basically/potentially everything we do (including the physical world with robots).

If this is any indication, its very realistic to assume that the next 5-15 years will be very very interesting.

Definitely agree on the all over the place metrics for AMD. This is somewhat complicated by the chipset. The x570 chipset actually used like 7-8 extra watts over the x470 by itself because the repurposed i/o die turned into a chipset was the idle power using part of the CPU.

Different motherboards and settings are sort of a hidden factor in this in general it seems.

>This is incoherent; people getting memed into buying a dying retailer and losing money in the process proves nothing,

It originally started when someone noticed that there was more shorts then actual issued stock.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-retail-trading-shortselli...

>According to financial analytics firm S3, GameStop's peak short interest was 141.8% of its float on Jan. 4.

So what was discovered was that the system was rigged. It should literally not possible to do this. So you buy in and those shorts eventually have to buy your stock from you and you get to decide how much $ they owe you. Aka infinite money.

turns out it was a problem unique to the USA markets. The government enabled this, the government broke the free market. But why? Who did this? People needed to investigate.

>nd ESG is now pretty deeply ingrained as it becomes impossible to ignore the side effects of not caring.

Turns out this ending of the free market was done in the name of ESG. So you have the government picking winners and losers intentionally.

When Russia declared war on Ukraine. ESG pretty much died. Europe pretty much signed up for decades of fossil fuels.

https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/sustainable-finance-r...

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-28/climate-i...

But this last article is incorrect. A political movement that isn't in power is not winning the war. ESG is losing the war and taking massive losses on their own. This is the huge fear of elections. If free markets are re-enabled, ESG takes even bigger losses.

I dont know if Trump winning later this year will have major impacts on this at all. As far as Im aware he isnt aware of any of this because he could have fixed it during his 4 years.

>impossible to ignore the side effects of not caring.

When you acknowledge that the free market is broken. Economists know this as fact now. It's a government manipulated market.

You can look into what those side effects really are and the political movements producing what you believe is 'impossible to ignore'

But as I said, we're in the last hurrah of a major political movement. Gen Z has rejected them and should usher in solution to political polarization and the echo chamber problems.

No optimization flags could be a big part of the reason.

Haven't looked closely at the code or tried it, but with -O3, -fopenmp and a well-placed pragma the performance could increase many-fold.

Heck, with NVC++ you could offload that thing to a GPU with minimal effort and have it flying at the memory bandwidth limit.
Those cities you mentioned already have European style urban infrastructure. In my opinion the big difference is that the drivers in the European cities seemed crazier than their US counterparts.

Don't get me started talking about #cccc
IMO, not using any optimization flags with C is somewhat arbitrary, since the compiler writers could have just decided that by default we'll do thing X, Y, and Z, and then you'd need to turn them off explicitly.

FWIW, without -O, with -O, and with -O4, I get 2500ms, 1500ms, and 550ms respectively. I didn't bother to look at the .S to see the code improvements. (Of course, I edited the code to output the results, otherwise, it just optimized out everything.)
