That's not how it works on x86 as far as I know. The atomic ops are simply performed by the ALU, against the L1 cache when the instruction is about to retire. Atomicity is guaranteed by not allowing the line to be stolen by another core between the operation, and memory order is ensured by draining the store buffer before executing the op and other speculation (eg loads can speculatively pass even atomic operations).
I feel as if they buried the lede. That is, the government has an index to track something and that index is inaccurate for a number of reasons. Nonetheless, other gov "agencies" use that defective index to make decisions, decisions that eventually have significant impact on all (i.e. national, and international for countries that tightly coupled to the USD).

I've thought for a while that owner equivalent rent was a bad concept. I think it's more useful to think about marginal rent, i.e. the cost to house an additional person. If someone dropped into a given location from space today, how much would they have to pay to have a place to live? In some places the best available options without credit history or deposit are marginally attached dwellings like extended stay motels.

In the case of rentals, the cost between a 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom apartment is substantial. For owners, there may already be a bedroom or convertible space, but if not, the cost can be in the thousands at minimum to upsize or downsize.
Read carefully :P close allies. Those allies are far allies. Sea lanes and supply chain risk is a real thing.

> The notion that the US has stepped back at all is entirely unsupported by the actual facts.

40 years ago the US Navy was equipped and staffed to patrol the global oceans. Now, the US has a relatively few massively powerful forces of naval power projection but is woefully understaffed and under-equipped to maintain the global order against multiplying chaos. This is unlikely to change at all let alone be fast enough to influence outcomes. Growing sentiment after decades of the war on terror is for the US to be hesitant to intervene internationally, and while that isn’t current policy it’s predictive of future policy. It’s not at all clear that it would be popular in the USA to, for instance, go to Moldova’s defense.

> the US just spent another hundred billion dollars on a foreign war in two years.

The vast majority of this was accountancy fictions about the value of stockpiled obsolete materiel we couldn’t sell but had to pay to maintain or pay to scrap. We have demonstrably not gone all in on supporting Ukraine and Congress is currently strangling any attempt to do so. This is another sign of the US inevitably devolving into an unreliable defense partner.
> The entire welfare system should be vaporized and replaced with a tax credit for the poor (i.e. a UBI).

Yep, call it a negative income tax if it goes down better than UBI, but many other things would be better than the system we have now.

My childhood best friend died by suicide 2 years ago, after we had been out of contact for ~7 years. We were around 26 at the time. I had no idea what to about it, and it's something I still have to deal with as I get more in touch with my memories of childhood. I'm starting to develop more compassion and gratitude for my past friends, even if we're not friends anymore.

> Note that these are really very closely related, almost to the point of being slight variations on a single technique: both are “do a search on a database and include the results in a prompt to the LLM”; they differ in one uses something outside of the LLM to calculate the search query (typically, just an embedding of the user prompt used to search a vector DB), the other prompts the LLM so that it produces an appropriate search query.

They can produce rather different results – the LLM can do a better job than just an embedding at picking out what's truly important in the prompt, which can increase the relevance of the returned documents. I've seen before where a vector search returns documents which contain some similar language to the prompt but which are actually talking about something completely unrelated. LLMs are less likely to do that sort of thing, because they have a much better understanding of what's important in the prompt and what's just fluff/waffle
My favorite is the hobbyist youtube videos sponsored by Altium. Just pay 10k plus 2/3k per year afterwards and you too can design boards like I can! (/s)

But the reality is I unsubscribed from those creators, because I never want to see someone design a board in Altium, I want to see how they build a board using kicad.

From the software side, I really like the license model of the all products pack from JetBrains. And it goes with me wherever I go.
I think this is overly general. A more accurate statement is that, on tasks where we don't actually understand how something works in precise detail, it's more effective to just throw compute at it until a system with "innate" understanding emerges. But if you do actually know how something works (rather than vague models with no clear supporting evidence), it's still more effective to engineer the system specifically based on that knowledge.

This is an interesting take. I currently live in an area where my rent is about 35% cheaper than taking out a mortgage at the current interest rates.
Beyond inflation numbers that may interest economists, the extreme cost of housing worldwide means that people who might seem to have identical lives actually have completely different lives. For example three men working the same job at the same company, having the same salary:

Man 1 has his home paid off, he owns it because of an inheritance that came his way. He can have a great quality of life from his salary and earns an extra yearly salary each year from his real estate increasing in value. He doesn't need to sell to reap that money, he can borrow against his increased home value and use a small part of his salary to pay off the loan.

Man 2 is paying off a mortgage on his home. His salary is enough to do it and depending on what stage he is at, he starts getting some money to spare. He earns an extra yearly salary each year from his real estate increasing in value. If things become desperate, he can refinance for some extra cash or even sell.

Man 3 is loosing most of his salary to rent to pay somebody else's mortgage. He is desperately trying to save money to get into some real estate of his own, but he's getting more broke for each year working. If he can ever get onto the real estate ladder, he will have hefty payments for forty or fifty years. He still needs to get his own real estate, because the yearly salary from owning real estate is higher than the yearly salary from working.

To reach the living standard of Man 1, Man 3 would need a salary that is 3-5 times higher than what the three of them are earning. Now how do you set wages as a business owner? You can employ the people who get by fine with a low salary because they own their homes and complain that young people don't want to work. You can hire cheap foreign labour that accept living in dismal conditions to be able to send some quids back home. Are they going to consume your product?

If I would predict the future, I expect to see an enormous mobility of labour worldwide. Not only the cheapest labour as has been, but all labour including the highest qualified labour and everything in between. If you don't have real estate, you have no future no matter where you live and no matter how skilled you are at your vocation. And that's true right now, except for in few countries. You have to go somewhere where you can make a future ASAP.
I wonder if this is somewhat related to the drop in overall religious belief. Speaking as someone who officially lost my faith after 36 years, it can be challenging to figure out how to replace the relative certainty of purpose and meaning provided by religion. Losing that sense of groundedness can be really difficult, and you have to quickly begin writing your own narrative for life (which can feel pretty fake at first).

That’s not to say that we need to keep religion around just to keep us sane. However, finding ways to communicate value and purpose at the individual level is really important.
Maybe, that gives you 10-15 years before you have to consider the question again :)

Here’s an actual link to the census data. What you want is “owner occupied housing” as another commenter said. That’s % of people who live in the place they own. And it’s 65% as of 2022.

I don't know if this is useful, but in Econ 101 we were told that the "household" is the economic unit, not the individual. What you mention was given as the reason. That was 4 decades ago, and I don't know if it was or is the mainstream view.
He notes these other forms of HCI in the video, and I think you’re really underselling the main point of this being ease of use. All of those methods are significantly degraded experiences compared to normal ways of interacting with a computer. The potential for a quadriplegic to interface with a computer at a higher ease of use compared to a human without disabilities is huge.
rustup makes it easy to have multiple Rust versions installed side by side, so you can test compatibility with older versions, or try beta or nightly builds (e.g. `cargo +1.77.0 test`). I think that functionality is rustup-specific and not easily replicable with tarballs or apt.

Apart from that rustup makes it easy to add and remove optional components, libraries for cross-compilation, and update Rust itself. These things could in theory be done with apt if Debian repackaged all of these components, but they didn't. Having one way to manage Rust installation that works the same on all platforms makes it easier to teach Rust and provide install instructions for software.

This doesn't make sense. HIV virus is generally not "substrate limited"/competing with other virii in its propagation in patients in (temporary) remission -- that's basically all of them that don't have AIDS. HIV retro integrates into host DNA and sporadically resurges on a stochastic basis, the drug cocktails in use inhibits this process.

Generally the viral load of a patient with HIV is miniscule but must always be kept in check.

Note that the point of a crispr treatment is that it would delete dormant HIV sequences that are hiding in the host DNA and not currently producing virii but threatening to pop up at some time in the future.

Obviously this too is subject to evolutionary pressures but almost certainly not the ones you are thinking of.

The Turkish government has a decades long history of discrimination against Kurds, including banning their language, even denying their existence as a people.

I'm not really sure what this is doing on Hacker News, but the game (Shattered Pixel Dungeon) is fun.

One of the nicest features is that whenever you observe an effect that unambiguously tells you what a potion/scroll does - such as throwing a potion - that type of object is automatically identified for you. In more "traditional" hack games you'd have to write notes yourself even though obviously a thrown potion exploding into fire means it's a potion of liquid fire, right?

Shattered Pixel is a good way to kill some time on public transit or similar.

I have biked to work over 30 years in various places. Some with uphill in the morning. The point is just that you bike comfortably. When I was younger that probably meant something like 18 km/h in sligthly hilly places. Nowadays it's less. You can actually debug your code while biking (mentally, no screen involved). I have solved many problems after 15 minutes on the bike better than in 3 hours in front of the screen. Yes, I avoid heavy traffic, even if it means a detour.

If you want to bike fast you can do it when not on the way to the office.

Meanwhile the Russian and Chinese aircraft-building industries are going ahead in leaps and bounds.

Yes, there will be a short-term hiatus as Western parts are not available before the new Russian and Chinese planes become available in sufficient numbers. But in the long-term, China and Russia will be lost as markets to Western aircraft-makers as the non-Westerners 'eat their own dog-food'.

Can the Western aircraft-makers survive the loss of the largest aircraft market in the world? Time will tell. But I predict they won't.
I was aware of Pixel dungeon but didn't realize it was available on PC, Mac, and iOS.

Particularly impressed that it builds for iOS when written in Java - turns out the game is built on libgdx which builds for all these platforms.

Also, it's fun if you like roguelikes.
My advice would be to have two versions:

- Paid, which supports private designs.

- Free, where every design is open-licensed and discoverable.

There are approximately zero companies which will want their IP open. On the other hand, this makes this available to approximately 100% of the university and hobbyist market.

Don't cripple the free version in any way beyond that.

The one lesson I learned watching CAD and other professional markets for decades: You want your tool used in university classes. Heck, if there weren't conflicts-of-interest, it'd be worth paying universities to adopt your tool.

Hobbyists are less important (although there have been many examples of hobbyist projects turning into major companies).

But, "what they like to do" isn't necessarily anything that will make billionaires more money.
During the pandemic, as was the case for many organizations, my employer implemented pay cuts. In the name of fairness, they did it by income so that those with the highest incomes would pay a larger percentage. That sounds good, but they did it with discontinuities.

What upset me was couples with combined salaries far greater than mine but individually a little less so they were just below the cutoff. Their combined cut on considerably more income was less than mine. We were living on one income, and the cuts would have been tough to absorb if not for the stimulus checks.
This is cool, I love a good roguelike especially on my phone for flights and other time sinks.

I am curious though, why is the iOS version €4.99 but the Android version is free ? I've seen this a lot actually and have always wondered, I figured it might just be Apple's annual developer license fee but not sure.
