Much of the software for the Xerox Alto was orginally written in BCPL.

Also the original AmigaDOS was written in BCPL. This caused some complications later when they decided to use C as the primary system programming language. In AmigaDOS BCPL pointers are "word" (2 byte) addressed, which was a common form of addresses for computers of the time (inherited from non-power of two sized word computers such as the 36-bit machines of the 60s and 70s). C uses byte addressing, so it requires a bit shift to convert between BCPL's word addressed pointers and C's byte addressed pointers.

Exactly, like how a “bitcoin mining” chip would implement the SHA in hardware.

And, CPUs prioritize hiding latency with all sorts of caches, and GPUs prioritize cores and bandwidth to hide latency, so there’s different tradeoffs about memory bandwidth versus latency.

It's used for money laundering, wealth transfer and tax avoidance. You buy and sell art, especially art that permanently resides in freeports, with cash, with shell companies that don't declare their ultimate beneficiary. You then avoid anyone knowing that you paid criminal X or criminal X paid you with the proceeds of crime. You avoid your government knowing that you have $XXX,XXX,XXX of assets stashed away that you're not declaring. You don't pay capital gains tax on it. And so on.

Governments around the world have been passing legislation in the past few years, and putting diplomatic pressure on governments of other tax havens, to tighten scrutiny of these international financial transactions.

If it was a game run by anyone else, sure. But in this case you pay the tax by buying the ticket.

FWIW I think it's rather immoral for governments to run lottos to begin with.
Actually, the tax limit has been risen a few times, I remember when it was ~68000 and then it ended up being ~98000 in the late 90s, maybe in the Clinton Admin.

I think it is now ~163000, I can only assume that that was done by Obama.

In today's environment, as you say, I doubt it will be raised until 2/3 of the Senate and the Pres wants to raise it.

That's just not true; I've been using the relatively obscure Void Linux for almost 10 years, and rarely have distro-specific issues, including with Linux-native games from gog.com. Nor do people report distro-specific issues in software I develop on Void.

>It is a simple fact.

It is a simple fact that the Earth and solar system are small relative to the universe, because everyone agrees on how to measure dimensions and volumes. It is not as simple a fact that something more large is more significant -- whatever that means (if we knew what it meant, this claim would be settled).

Physical size is such a universal metaphor for relevance/significance (eg, "it's a big deal", "it's a small matter") that they're implicitly treated as synonymous.

Seems to be unpopular but we lived as a family of four in a two bedroom apartment for 7 years. I just think for two people it’s a good amount of space — though so guess it won’t hold a workshop? Our community has a wood working shop available to use anytime for seniors, is this really not tenable.
That's kind of the crazy part though - how the hell does something you use and abuse every day, that you by definition leave out in the elements, not depreciate? Or at the very least, it is messed up that the depreciation is so minimal compared to the appreciation of the home (and not the land)

The land I can see. Land is in limited supply; AFAIK it's mostly just Hawai'i that's making more on occasion, and that's about it. But the actual building should depreciate.

Maybe we could define a numeric identifier for each error type we have, which would let us have quite a large number of errors in an already well-known type. I guess we'd have to reserve 0 for the rare success case. In order to make sure people don't forget about it, we can even have our `main` function return an integer!
that would be horrendous yes!

i have a private office now and this potential one has an open plan environment, but is also more work-from-home friendly.

i think fewer standups would be good. maybe if it were a "walk-the-board" kind of format i'd appreciate it more.

i'm just feeling that if my contributions become less visible i'll at some point get "found out" as someone who just collects paycheques and never delivers. my manager doesn't read git commits or knows who had novel idea x, y, z.

In a graduate course, we used a horrible Russian translation of

I wouldn’t call it a Ponzi scheme, but it’s less you get an account and more you pay into a big account and get a stipend based on your peak income. So money we pay now goes to pay current retirement benefits. And hopefully by when I retire the next generation will be paying so I can retire.
Just for posterity, I actually agree with you, and was representing the history of our situation. Not my own opinions. “High performance” absolutely means “buzzword.”

I can attest that the intentions were good, and it’s another tool in our toolbox. A good one, but not the silver bullet sometimes some said.
I'm pretty sure it's weight distribution. Like I can tell the difference between a hybrid Camry and a pure ICE Camry based on how it bobs over speed bumps, not just in cornering / acceleration.
Article is paywalled, but the headline says billions (10^8) and a suitcase has hundred thousands (10^5), and therefore we might be talking of around 10^3 suitcases. I can see why a 4x increase in the number of trips might be operationally significant. They might even be doing a trial run of 5 suitcases to check if they can make that their usual mode of operation since it'd be a substantial cost reduction.

> They were offered "around $3,750" to fly suitcases containing around $500,000 each. Which is not a high percentage even for just a single suitcase.

Couriers aren't really the value-add part of the operation, so this makes sense to me. Nearly nobody gets paid as a % of the value they are handling. A legal operation could move this for an order of magnitude less so there is actually a hefty premium here.
I feel like the obvious answer here is cave paintings.

Valid points, although I have another perspective on this bit:

> But in the end: yes the reordering done by the CPU is the issue

I think from a programmer perspective, the CPU side of things is mostly beside the point (unless you're writing assembly), and this contributes to the misunderstanding and air of mystery surrounding thread safety.

At the end of the day the CPU can do anything, really. I'd argue this doesn't matter because the compiler is generating machine code, not us. What does matter is the contract between us and the compiler / language spec.
Without language-level synchronisation the code is not valid C/C++ and we will likely observe unexpected behaviour - either due to CPU reordering or compiler optimisations, doesn't matter.

I think the article is somewhat missing the point by presenting the case somewhat pretending that the compiler is not part of the equation.
It seems like often people think they know how to do thread safety because they know, e.g. what reorderings the CPU may do. "Just need to add volatile here and we're good!" (probably wrong). In reality they need to understand how the language models concurrency.

We could translate that queue code into another language with a different concurrency model - e.g. Python - and now the behaviour is different despite the CPU doing the same fundamental reorderings.

They have but it needs to be declared so as to avoid tax evasion and money laundering
Like the internet, it feels like there need to be open standards for interop to even begin. Internet of packages needs the ability for inventory to find warehousing, packagers, shippers.

I definitely dream of re-de-centralizing, of re-wilding the e-economy. But wow it's going to take so much hard protocol design to make it happen. Amazon ever ratcheting up the fees creates opportunities for various other intermediatiom capture layers like Packsmith here to maybe get ahead but there's an unsatisfied "markets want a free hand" impulse that only the lessons of the internet can help satisfy, and that requires loose coupling & protocols. There's plenty of room for valuable service providers/coordinators there, but the protocols need to be open & free; e-merchamts need to be able to shift & move as they please. That needs protocols.

Percolating those protocols down to local logistics is even harder, is where intermediaries can be useful. But I think the bedrocks that disrupts, it's not enough to innovate internally; the big next shifts have to involve open systems & protocols, to a sizable degree.

Boston, along with many Democrat strongholds in America, is strongly in favor of disarming the public, including law abiding citizens. The fact that this is normalized, including confiscation from a law abiding citizen, is absurd. There is an important legal document which states: "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Nevermind the fact that legal gun owners and especially CHP holders are responsible for approximately zero crime.

Amiga Inc. were using C and assembly as the primary languages for AmigaOS before BCPL entered the picture. They were up against deadlines and had no disk operating system.

A third party company, MetaComCo, was known to be selling a a MC68000 port of TRIPOS (which was written in BCPL because its author created BCPL), so they shoehorned TRIPOS into the Amiga operating system and called it AmigaDOS.

It was basically a black box. AmigaOS had an open, documented, normal way to operate, with shared libraries and devices, relocatable executables, callable from any language, including C - because all parameters were passed in registers and each function had to explicitly declare which registers were used, so none of this "I'll write it in C, and if you call me, just remember to use my C compiler's calling convention" nonsense that is now standard practise and people using other languages say C is over-privileged because it's base-level glue... on a single-architecture system like the Amiga, register declarations are base-level glue!

However, any time you went near AmigaDOS, it was quirky crap where all pointers were divided by 4 (because in BCPL there are no datatypes, just machine words, and machine word 0 is 4 bytes after machine word 1 on a 8-bit byte-addressable machine with 32-bit machine words), and there was the "global vector" for accessing shared functions, rather than standard Amiga libraries.

Amiga Inc. were pushed into rewriting in C by Charlie Heath et al, founders of the "AmigaDOS Replacement Project" (ARP)... ultimately almost all of AmigaDOS and its utility commands were rewritten in C for AmigaOS 2.0, and dos.library grew substantially in functions (most of which were already in AmigaDOS, but not visible outside BCPL code)
I used Charlieplexing to drive four LEDs, four buttons, and a beeper from a 6-pin PIC10F200 with only four GPIOs. (and one is input-only!) It was a lot of fun working out the correct TRIS/GPIO combinations. (and fitting the whole thing into 256 instructions and 16 bytes of RAM was fun too)

I recommend only with three serious reservations: Viewers should be well aware of the Kuleshov effect. Viewers should understand that Curtis is highly selective in what he takes and puts together. Viewers should carefully consider any decision to watch while under the influence of substances that tend to make you suggestible or impressed.

The amount of archival footage Curtis riffles through for his pieces is an impressive part of the story of his storytelling. It should also be its own implicit warning. The runtime of the footage he watched and did not include dwarfs the runtime of any single piece of his you might see. To be well read on any particular event, much less time period, that he jaunts through would take a stack of books and a lot of serious attention.

Well, if you load up a black hole with, say, electrons, it will have an electrical field similar to a point charge -Q, just the way the mass M behaves as a point mass emitting a gravitational field (or distortion in spacetime, take your pick).

Additionally, when you get Hawking radiation into the mix, negatively-charged particles (electrons, muons, tauons ... but probably mostly electrons) would be preferentially emitted, since pair production near the horizon would preferentially eject the negative particle via electrostatic repulsion and just as preferentially recapture the positive member of the pair.

Not that you asked, but the angular momentum looks different than the other two, it actually changes the shape of the event horizon to something more oblate.

They're investigating the use of a drug that they don't understand to treat a condition that they don't understand, through the lens of one model that variously competes with or incompletely conforms to a myriad of other models of the condition.

In order to what? Nebulously "manage" a complex neurological difference that will always defy reversion to anything else?

It sounds like they want something that they can prescribe, period. And it sounds like it has the potential to further complicate already difficult lives.

Type 1 Autism may serve a general human gene pool function in terms of edge-dripping a specific intelligence trait into it (low probability of reproduction, protecting general social skill in the pool, but adding a divergent pattern solving skill at the edges).

While autism is difficult, I'm not sure that solving for it in the context of industrial medicine is wise. We don't want to solve for Nicola Tesla, for example.

Type 2 and 3 Autism could be genetically unsuccessful attempts at Type 1 autism development, to spitball. Assuming they are actually related, in most cases. Such management theoretically could be helpful here, but I think that these people deserve a lot better than injected parasite medicine with a lot of side effects. Besides, try getting an autistic child used to regular injections.

Though a low-side effect oral or transdermal medication that would, say, specifically enhance energy support to the Autistic PFC with few side effects could be game changing. Likely for many more conditions than autism.

Inventing such a medication that doesn't lead to a worse baseline would be critical and perhaps unlikely.

Then again its possible that the unique pattern solving ability of the Autistic mind is related to the relative lack of energy supply to an increased volume of PFC neurons; and the subsequent failure of inhibition. Possibly accounting for increased environmental information perception, at least in-part. Which may in turn be mirrored in expanded cognition involved in pattern identification.

The ideal, which again I think is unlikely, would be a PRN medication that could "quiet" the autistic mind via providing more energy to the PFC; while having no withdrawal semi-permanent side effects.
