The main thing you want to do when optimizing the calling convention is measure its perf, not ruminate about what you think is good. Code performs well if it runs fast, not if it looks like it will.

Sometimes, what the author calls bad code is actually the fastest thing you can do for totally not obvious reasons. The only way to find out is to measure the performance on some large benchmark.

One reason why sometimes bad looking calling conventions perform well is just that they conserve argument registers, which makes the register allocator’s life a tad easier.

Another reason is that the CPUs of today are optimized on traces of instructions generated by C compilers. If you generate code that looks like what the C compiler would do - which passes on the stack surprisingly often, especially if you’re MSVC - then you hit the CPU’s sweet spot somehow.

Another reason is that inlining is so successful, so calls are a kind of unusual boundary on the hot path. It’s fine to have some jank on that boundary if it makes other things simpler.

Not saying that the changes done here are bad, but I am saying that it’s weird to just talk about what looks like weird code without measuring.

(Source: I optimized calling conventions for a living when I worked on JavaScriptCore. I also optimized other things too but calling conventions are quite dear to my heart. It was surprising how often bad-looking pass-on-the-stack code won on big, real code. Weird but true.)
> the concept of electron.

but this claims that the concept-of-electron as a discrete entity which the what-we-call-electron only approximates at best.

But because concept-of-electron is unscientific (aka, it is not produced from a falsifiable hypothesis), you can claim anything from it, including that it exists and supercedes the what-we-call-electron.

aka, it's akin to claiming god.

> “This is not about lobbying for a single company,” the spokesperson added, “but about whether all Chinese companies can be treated fairly.”

> In the wake of the House bill’s passage, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the legislation “puts the US on the wrong side of the principles of fair competition and international trade rules.”

If you don't have your own practice, yes, they might fire you. If you're only working "part time", you're bringing in less in patient associated payments for the owners compared to people who work more.

There's also the fact that doctors might prefer $700k/yr working 80 hour weeks vs $350k/yr working 40 hour weeks. A lot of people who become doctors are workaholics and were behaving in a similar manner throughout their schooling.

I think you hit the nail on the head with 2 parts of your story.

Firstly, playing with others is great fun, and a great way to learn and improve. Not to mention a good motivator. Like you, most of my improvement has been in that context.

When I was just starting out we had "bands" of beginners (guitar, piano, bass etc) and there was a sense of progress learning just one chord or riff etc.

So -how- you learn matters. Equally "starting young" is a common wisdom, but most of the people I play with now "started old". They started because -they- wanted to play, not because someone else wanted to play.

I think method also matters. In school we "learnt" recorder, but it started with "reading music". That's like explaining virtual methods in object orientated design to someone who can't write a for loop.

For both activities we learn better when it's fun.

You are right that is exactly what I did. I did not need to read the article to know what they are talking about.

A company maturing and doing what every other company is doing is not however interesting. The only reason it is a story is because it is an Elon company.

Personally what I find strange is how people perceive Twitter comments as somehow a contract with the public. People say lots of things, the smart ones are able to change their minds.

We are way off the original post here, however, Russia sends the Soviet Era (cruise) missiles out as decoys for taking out the air defence, whilst stocks last.

Who is Ukraine anyway? They don't have elections and the people supplying the weapons tend to have residence in London and Washington. They certainly wish for war. In April 2022 'Ukraine' was ready to sign on the dotted line for a peace deal brokered by Turkey but Boris Johnson flew out and nixed the deal. This is documented, so, in a way, you are right, and on both accounts.
The fridge logic hits me hard right here.

I used Netscape Composer and then the similar component of SeaMonkey to maintain several static websites from around 2000 to 2015 or so. They were a bit buggy, but I was able to make them work well enough, and they produced much cleaner code than the other WYSIWYG editors I tried at the time.

I finally stopped using SeaMonkey when I felt the need to make my sites responsive. I now maintain my sites with a text editor and an FTP app, which work fine but feel like a step backward.
Is this a moral or legal code that is being broken somehow? Because he owns both companies it is somehow immoral to do business between them?
Most people on the planet dont have enough cash in their wallet to pay the rich to entertain them.

So the rich find abnormal routes to self delusion of sucess.

How do such such systems Scale when the majority dont have high disposable income?

1. "McDonaldization of Society" covers the path McDonalds took. Its drilled into anyone who goes to B-school.

2. Get Other corporations to subsidize consumption to make their crap sticky(loyalty programmes they call it) - so you have firms with massive cash mountains like AT&T/Comcast/Apple/Amazon/Reliance etc bundling content to push their trash

3. Total Attention available is a finite resource. As content exploded with the internet all corporations got sucked into wars of Attention Capture. So we get an era of Marketing/Advertising/Demand engineering budgets growing at faster rates than actual product design or product quality budgets. They have learnt attention capture or theft is enough to get corps to pay the bills. Quality is optional.

4. Dependence on low interest rates, global interest rate/corp tax rate/labour/forex arbitrage and Banks to issue high interest credit to the sub prime masses. M&A to swallow up competition. Basically Financilization, where financial engineering can allow firms to hit revenue/growth targets irrespective of quality of good or servive playing these games, naturally quality goes into background.

These have all become runaway processes that no one controls anymore.
It would feal so great if whoever owns Netscape now could donate the trademark to Mozilla to use instead of SeaMonkey :-)
I loved them both for different reasons, I went last year for the first time. As another commenter said Madrid felt very imperial, and as you say was beautiful, clean, and walkable. Barcelona felt more arty and had a great coastal vibe to it. I would go back to either in a heartbeat!

I’m not sure what relevance this has to files that use a mix of tabs and spaces because I’m not aware of any formatting tool that can reproduce that convention.

As someone who's taking a university entrance course in Calculus I find these kind of "calculus made easy" pamphlets irritatingly trite.

The hard part isn't the highest level concepts, which are actually fairly easy to grasp and somewhat intuitive.

The hard part is all the foundational knowledge required to solve actual math problems with Calculus.

The most difficult parts of Calculus (for me at least) are:

1. Having a very thorough grasp of the groundwork / assumed knowledge. Good enough that you can correctly solve an unexpected problem, from completing the square to long division of polynomials to an equation involving differentials.

2. Understanding and correctly applying the notation and graphing techniques, from Leibniz notation to sketching curves.

This is why large books and courses exist covering only introductory Calculus, not even beginning to scrape the surface of more advanced math.
Go read up a bit up on Dunn and his fellows and what his objectives are for pushing religion in school and tell me that I'm exaggerating. What he's pitching will do nothing to help inner city or poor rural districts. Public schools work as there are many great examples of them, but they need good teachers, good policies, and public support from parents.

Burger joints essentially get tallow for free.

There are some recyclers now that will pay you a bit for used oil, but I doubt it's enough to make it cheaper to buy fresh vegetable oil rather than cooking the fries in the beef fat you already have.

It's generally fair to assume that if corporations are giving millions of dollars to a non-profit that determine policies related to that corporation, there's corruption going on. If they're worried about appearing corrupt I have some suggestions.

There is no free lunch. WASM just means another lowest common denominator abstraction for FFI. I'm also looking forward to WASM getting actually good so .NET could properly target it (because shipping WASM-compiled GC is really, really painful, it works acceptably today, but could be better). Current WasmGC spec is pretty much unusable by any language that has non-primitive GC implementation.

Just please don't run WASM on the server, we're already getting diminishing generational performance gains in hardware, no need to reduce them further.

The exports in the examples follow C ABI with respective OS/ISA-specific calling convention.

What kind of searches are you doing on TikTok?
no, but there is potential so its probably better off not doing it. but this sounds pretty low for a major company's advertising budget and pretty low in relative amounts to be worth risking doing corrupt things.

The law of EU is threatening the whole business model of Apple, while the order of China relates to a single product only, and not even a product of Apple itself. So the cases are not comparable at all.
Besides, the Chinese order is a clear cut while the law of EU open many ways to interpret.
Tesla is a publicly traded company with shareholders.

Twitter is Musk’s private plaything.

Tesla using Twitter services could be a conflict of interest because Musk is CEO of both and could be using his position at Tesla to funnel public shareholder money into Twitter, aka his pocket.

My point is that the decision to be obese, excluding other factors like disability or mental illness, is 100% on the person who is obese. Nothing is stopping someone from eating less and exercising. This is something that anyone can do, regardless of income level. You can eat fast food every single day of your life provided you exercise, count calories, and take a multivitamin - you simply cannot gain weight and you will indeed be healthy. Being obese is a personal decision, one that is lazy and will ultimately lead to an earlier death than would otherwise happen.

Other shareholders of the companies might bring up conflict of interest concerns, if the deal is lopsided one way or the other.

Theoretically it is a way to siphon funds from one company to the other if he forced one of his companies to take a raw deal from the other. If both sides got a fair deal, it’s probably not much to worry about though.
You can build a $6,000 machine with 12 channels DDR5 memory that's big enough to hold an 8bit quantized model. The generation speed is abysmal of course.

Anything better than that starts at 200k per machine and goes up from there.

Not something you can run at home, but definitely within the budget of most medium sized firms to buy one.

> spreading price info is good for me, the end consumer.

Public pricing information is good for you.

Private pricing information allows sellers to maintain higher prices than they might otherwise.
It's a module that requires an additional daughterboard (aka carrier board). All of the IO is on the daughter board, that way you're able to precisely customize what features, IO, etc. the computer has (within the limits of what the SoC/CPU has to offer).

The modular approach makes a small hardware manufacturer's life much easier. Manufacturing 10 (just throwing a number out there) hardware product SKUs means you've got to maintain different bills of materials, test jigs, firmware, etc.

With a module, you can engineer a module once and sell it many times over. One BoM, one test jig set up, fewer versions of firmware to maintain, etc.

You'll find computer on module type systems in a lot of appliances, pieces of large machinery, etc. Situations where you have low to medium volume where it doesn't make sense to design and manufacture a motherboard from the ground up, but you have specific needs for features and IO.
Yes, I remember when movie popcorn was the demonic food of the day.

Now, no one is going to argue that an all-movie-popcorn diet would be healthy, especially with the fake "butter", but realistically how much movie popcorn do people eat?

According to Gallup, the average American goes to the movies about 1.4 times a year. Not enough for the popcorn to have any measurable effect at all, I reckon.

And now I'm hungry for popcorn. Going to make some. :-)
He actually doesn't own both companies.

He largely owns X which is a private entity. He owns ~20% of Tesla, and the rest is owned by other shareholders. As a company officer he has a fiduciary duty to act in the interests of all Tesla shareholders, and any sales or deals to other entities he has in an interest in pose a conflict. That conflict can often be mitigated by oversight or deferral of decision making to parties that don't hold the conflict such as other board members or corporate officers.
Way off the main thread, however, they did not send the best Challenger 2 tanks, they sent the ones with the limited ammunition supply that use the old gun. Only one was ever spotted in the wild, that did not last long. The idea was that with Leopard tanks, those Abrams, Bradley and French things, Zelensky would be seeing the sea again in the Crimea, some time in summer 2023. A very small dent in the Surovkin Line was made near Rabotino and that was about all the Great Summer Offensive amounted to.

With HIMARS there was a problem with shooting down the missiles and taking out the launchers, but Russia got there in the end. That is why they are now using Vampire instead. They also ran out of ammo for HIMARS and had to switch up to cluster weapons, which resulted in the Russians bringing out their own cluster weapons.

The entire front is only moving one way, west. This has been at a cost of many thousands of lives, sent to this meat grinder that benefits only the arms companies.
never thought I'd see a creationist on hn. Giraffe's have a nerve that goes all the way down the neck and back up, merely because it couldn't unwrap from a vein as giraffes evolved longer necks.

Lightweight HTML games made for the DSi and 3DS system browsers
The limitations of the system browsers on the DSi, 3DS, and even Wii U are so restricting that they’re sort of interesting. I would love to see if they’d run on the Opera browser for the original DS (which was sold separately and required a memory expansion pack).

I imagine these games would run well on other outdated platforms and browsers as well.

Go to My Filters, and add:

news.ycombinator.com##a[href*="UNWANTED.DOMAIN.COM"]:upward(3) + tr

Maybe someone can come up with a better solution, avoiding the hacky upward selection and avoiding repetition of the domain match.

The idea here is that we match an <a> element whose href contains the unwanted domain. Then upward(3) selects the great-grandparent element: we are assuming that the <a> is buried three levels within a <tr> element, and we nuke that <tr> element.

Even if a nicer rule is found, it's still not great UX to have to go into the filter panel and copy-paste rules.

Then we repeat the entire rule and add "+ tr" to nuke the successor also. The successor row has the small print: the story's points, who submitted it, number of comments, flag/hide buttons.

That doesn't really fix anything, because no matter what you call Pluto, it has to get demoted from the list of planet-like-things-whatever-we-call-them that school children learn.

The issue is that there's hundreds of objects at least as planet-y as Pluto is, and nobody is going to remember all of those. So either we demote Pluto somehow, or we have to have some reason that it's more important than the rest.

So, Pluto is just historically interesting but inherently just one of many rocks. And science tries not to categorize things based on "oh that one somebody noticed first".
