> given a hypothetical arch with only 1 free register, which local variable do you allocate to it?

A truly good compiler would use the same register for sum and sum2 and for argv[1] and argv[2] if it needs to, (even if they weren’t dead, as in this toy example)

With only one register, the answer probably will be “none or every single one”, depending on the instruction set, though.

For example, how do you index into arrays? Self modifying code as often is done on the 6502? Or do you have stack-relative indirect addressing that allows you to say “add the contents of the address pointed to by the value at stack pointer plus 6 to the register”? Either way, there will be lots of contention for that single register.

Or does this hypothetical architecture have various complex “add contents of addresses foo[register] and bar and store the result in baz[3] instructions? (Which would probably make it a very bad design. Adding a second register would be about the first thing to do (fun fact: the 4004 had 16 registers), but maybe this hypothetical design has RAM that’s as fast as registers?)
If you involve a specialised removal firm it's super expensive and stalls your project by weeks. I was advised by the builder I could just remove a few plates of asbestos myself, about half a day of work, most of which was spent getting the right plastic bags and then driving them to the correct dump, the actual removal of the asbestos plates took minutes. Used mask etc, but really a single exposure was a very acceptable risk for me to save on cost and time. (There's different types of asbestos, some more dangerous than others, so you should do a bit of research into what you're doing)

I remember getting similar disdain from people who thought laptops were a overpriced passing fad and that I was a fool for not sitting at my desktop computer too.

Then the trend changed, and laptops became more prevalent than desktops for personal use.

The trend has long since changed again, and phones have become way more prevalent than laptops for personal use.

It’s just Apple that continues to pretend that the iPhone (and iPad) aren’t full computers, despite having specs that prove otherwise.

Some of us like to embrace change. Some people like to stay with what they know. Neither is wrong, as long as you’re happy with your choices.
Yeah I think it’s a very similar approach to what you’ve described. The scale of YouTube, I don’t think you can just start banning content you don’t like. Instead you have to have a policy, clearly documented, and then you can start enforcing based on that policy.

The other thing is that they don’t necessarily want to ban all of this content. For example a video demonstrating how AI can be used to create misinformation and showing examples, would be fairly clearly “morally” ok. The policy being that you have to declare it allows for this sort of content to live on the platform, but allows you to filter it out in certain contexts where it may be inappropriate (searches for election coverage?) and allows you to badge it for users (like Covid information tags).

Look at AMDs vs Intel. They have now surpassed Intel in terms of CPUs sold and market cap. That was unthinkable even six, seven years ago.

It makes perfect sense that, organisationally, they were focused on that battle. If you remember the Athlon days, AMD beat Intel before, but briefly. It didn't last. This time it looks like they beat Intel and have had the focus to stay. Intel will come back and beat them some cycles, but there is no collapse on the horizon.

So it makes sense that they started looking at nVidia in the last year or so. Of course nVidia has amassed an obscene war chest in the meantime...

The problem lies in our understanding of the concept "understanding". It is still pretty unclear at a fundamental level what it means to understand, learn, or conceptualize things.

This quickly leads to thought about consciousness and other metaphysical issues that have not been resolved, and probably never will be.

You are misconstruing creativity of appearance for creativity of experience. Cookie cutter is not an issue. The happiest people are those driving honda civics, buying jeans at Ross and spending most of their energy, money and time on their hobbies, visiting their friends, families and having constant stream of guests over. Some of the best conversations in life happens in the most ordinaries kitchens, at most ordinary tables, on unremarkable front porches, etc.

I love architecture and find it can be very inspiring. But if one’s personal creativity is hamstrung by facade of their home, then I assume they don’t have much of it to begin with.

>You can solve it perfectly for a given instance using a constraint solver and adequate patience.

Is this really true for cases where there is no choice but to spill registers? How would a graph coloring solver understand to spill outer loop variables instead of inner loop ones? I've never written a "proper" register allocator so I'm curious.

> I realise that I as a developer have put a lot of people out of a job.

For most developers this will not be true. Most apps, websites, compilers, desktop software etc. will not have put anyone out of a job. I certainly never ever put someone out of a job. I made some peoples live easier, but their total working hours didn't shorten and they certainly did not change profession or were replaced. In fact the majority of tasks that my software was applied to would simply have been deemed impossible to do and not have been done and that would have been all there was to it.

It isn't, but the kinds of paper referred to make so many assumptions that the conclusions lack external validity for actual deep learning. In other words, they typically don't actually say anything about state-of-the-art deep networks.
Or the take-away restaurant puts in a spoon with your order, but you go home and eat with your own cutlery, throwing this spoon in the trash, and the energy and CO2 expended to produce and bring you this spoon was all for nothing.

The other thing to consider is that these machines cost money and have a write-off lifetime, I wouldn't be surprised if they're designed and purchased for a lifetime of 10, 15 years, with only some consumables like new probes and cables every once in a while.
One of those articles I'll upvote here but not reshare, because it's too niche in my social media presences and people won't read it. But damn, this stung because I think it reads true not only for a 66 year old but for a 40 year old as well. The mountains ahead both politically and scientifically seem insurmountable right now! There is a bittersweet beauty in this article though, in the spark that drives people to greatness all the way into old age, just out of a pure reason as childish curiosity.
It's not meaningful to call a hypothesis a "conspiracy theory" in this everyday sense when the world of espionage is concerned. Many things that people would intuitively put into conspiracy theory territory have occurred or are even common in clandestine service scenarios. Bugs have been put into buildings during construction years before they were used, radioactive substances were used to track people, one-time pads written by secretaries on typewriters were broken in deciphering efforts that took many years, hardware devices were intercepted and modified during ordinary mail order process, Swiss companies specialized in encryption were entirely compromised and run by the CIA, people have been murdered with poison pellets from a gun looking like an umbrella, etc.

There's already a "pandemic" of incorrect and/or hypochondriac "at home" diagnosis going on, along with quack pseudoscience to cure things, ranging from essential oils to bleach enemas; we don't need more of that.

This is also an answer to a perceived problem, mixed with the XY problem; the problem isn't that there's not enough at-home diagnostic tools (a thermometer is enough for most households), the problem is access to health care, which has been messed with directly (cost of health care) and indirectly (people's physical health due to overconsumption, mental health due to gestures everywhere vaguely) by capitalism.

> "Look, I have a map of the minefield".

This doesn't exist. WG21 (the C++ language committee) has considered the idea of writing an appendix with such a map - a list of the UB (Undefined Behaviour) and IFNDR (Ill-formed, No Diagnostic Required) clauses in the language but this work has yet to be undertaken and I see no reason to expect it in C++ 26.

I have been in plenty of disagreements with C++ proponents here and on r/cpp where it's clear that there isn't even agreement on what the standard means today in respect of these problems, if you guess one way and the people who implemented your compiler judged differently then your program may have defects you didn't even realise were possible.

But it seems like blaming the inventor of knives for using them dangerously? Knives are really useful for cutting things.

The same goes for cars. Thousands of people have died in car accidents yet nobody is proposing that we replace cars because if you use them correctly they really are quite useful.

The same goes for C++. I see a lot of C++-bashing on this thread (it seems very popular on HN?) but it is a useful language. I have worked with plenty of people who used it wrong but to throw the entire thing into the bin is blaming the wrong thing. People can be dangerous drivers even if the car is really good.
> Every single cafe, restaurant, supermarket, and mall has free wifi.

I live in a major city in the Philippines, and free WiFi is becoming more of a rarity nowadays. Not even Starbucks and other big chain restaurants, malls, and cafes offer WiFi anymore because of how widely available data is. They expect you to bring your own data and tether if you want to browse or do some work.

In more rural areas, WiFi is definitely not widely available. On the rare chance it’s even offered, it’s usually “piso WiFi” paid by the minute.

Merge trains/queues don't really help with the problem I'm describing - they just prevent race conditions between commits. You still need to run all the tests for each PR/MR first before joining the queue/train.
With how little these APIs are used (for acceptable purposes), I don't think alert fatigue is a huge risk here.
Smellovision; that said, there's people and/or dogs that can smell specific diseases, if they can figure out how that works they can incorporate it into an array of passive sensors to alert people of a possible problem.
At first I find it difficult to concentrate, but then I started really enjoying the article, and in way I think it is much better than current low-content-big-font websites. But yes, I was raised with this kind of content, so it seems that when I started enjoying was because I synced with a style that I already knew.
That's what I'm switched to, especially since I already use Nextcloud as a cloud backend for my phone.

From the kanban suggestions, I tried kanboard in the past, but really disliked the mobile experience. In this regard, Deck is much better, and it has at least two ways to access the boards; one is the Nextcloud Deck companion app, and the other is the jtx board, which stores its tickets in a way that they can be synced with CalDav. So by using Nextcloud Deck, one is not even locked in into one application / provider.

There's also a hidden component in these budget calculations: it is hard for people doing more "traditional" physics to find tenured positions, since many faculty hires went to string theory. So the salary that went to string theorists at the expense of other subareas of physics is quite a large hidden component. Crushed academic ambition is as real-world as it gets, since it involves years of extremely hard toil, wasted.

Did you know that post-Brexit / post-being-subject-to-EU-privacy-laws, Amazon got NHS's data?https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/dec/08/nhs-gives-am...

While the article states that it did not include patient data, people living in the UK a few years before that had to opt out of their data being given to Amazon. Imagine that.
I suggest to actively keep up with Nextcloud project. They have a lot of things going on, and add nice things over time. "Notes" for example is also useful.
It's a political problem. Good software engineers are paid more than good hardware engineers, but AMD management is unwilling to pay up to bring on good software engineers because then they'd also need to pay their hardware engineers more, otherwise the hardware engineers would be unsatisfied. If you check NVidia salaries online you'll see NVidia pays significantly more than AMD for both hardware and software engineers; it's a classic case of AMD management being penny-wise, pound-foolish.

Yes, that's my point. Your use is incompatible with the existing use. You are not responsible for the conventional use of the phrase "land value tax", but you certainly are responsible for presenting your own ideas under the same name and acting confused when people assume you're using the ordinary sense of the phrase.

It's probably a blanket requirement by the MSFT legal team so they can just release everything as "(c) Microsoft" instead of "(c) Microsoft and 999 more contributors, one of which has actually forgot to put their name in the AUTHORS.txt and thus we're technically violating the terms of the license"
According to the current Python documentation the 'idna' encoding in Python only does IDNA 2003, not IDNA 2008:

https://docs.python.org/3.12/library/codecs.html#module-enco...

The recommend the 3rd party 'idna' module for this:

https://pypi.org/project/idna/

IDNA 2003 is a particular annoyance of mine: The IDNA 2003 algorithm didn't encode the german 'ß' character, or rather 'wrongly', through overeager use of Unicode normalisation in the nameprep part. Then the browser makers for a long time stood still and didn't upgrade to IDNA 2008, which fixed that bug among other things. The WhatWG in its self-appointed role as stenograph of the browser cartel didn't change its weird URL spec. But that seems to have changed in recent years. Of course the original sin of IDNA was making it client-side. :/
Good for what? How often do people need an ultrasound, and how much would it offload the existing medical whatnots? It would actually increase the load on the system, because people would be like "My ultrasound detected a thing, I need someone to look at it".
In my view, those are very trivial amounts, for an entire subfield of research. I can think of individual federal grants no one on HN has heard of or cares about that are are larger than all of those put together, which are outright fraudulent—those are dime-a-dozen.

Also, note that your first three examples aren't public money, rather private philanthropy. No one can speak against where Jim Simons gifts his billions (and in point of fact Simons is an expert in quantum field theory himself—no one's scammed him, if he's decided string theorists are worth donating to. He reads and understands the papers they write).

It's a fair anchoring point, isn't it? It's the theory and experiment side of the same field. We're just spending 0.01% of the experimental budget on some (possibly wrong and possibly dead-end) theory ideas, and the coffee that produced them.
I was wondering what would be the best way to post on HN or another platform a kind of a blueprint for an idea?

I'm in the ideation/design phase of a nylon-based linear actuator project and would love to gather some feedback from people (semi)-related to any adjacent fields that could give some additional feedback on the theoretical/practical side of the product.

I guess it would fit "Ask HN" best, right?
