The operand order is because intel were flip flopping between load semantics and move semantics with the 4004, 8008, 8080, 8085, 8086 progression.

Remember that when the 8080 engineers left to found Zilog, they changed the MVI instruction to LD, as it had been intended.

(LD on 4004 and 8008, MOV on 8080, LD/ST and MOV on 8085, MOV on 8086)
The Man Month essay describes a breakdown in work throughput because of the exponential increase in communication channels and complexity of administration. Parallel startups do not communicate with each other. It appears from the outside that fusion does not have a known critical path to completion so increasing the number of bites at the apple seems like a logical way to scale attempting to solve it.

I agree we should not count on fusion (or wide spread carbon capture) to solve our problems and pretend we can continue as if there aren't any limits. Unfortunately unrealized miracle solutions are presented all the time to problems and since a lot of tech revolves around startup culture, our industry is prone to believing in them.
All of the routes are tolled. These are some of the most heavily trafficked bridges and tunnels in the world, and their upkeep is consequently expensive (both in maintenance and off-hours labor costs).

This is a basic maxim for NYC: if you want to drive on some of the most expensive real estate in the world, it’s going to cost you. Congestion pricing was intended to further equalize that cost, by incentivizing drivers away from the city grid and onto the highways intended to facilitate their transit around the city center.

It would be nice for drivers (not for residents) if there were through-highways in Manhattan’s CBD. But as I said, this is a non-starter: not only would it be a multi-billion dollar project that nobody wants to pay for, but it would also actively devalue or preempt hundreds of billions of dollars of prime Manhattan real estate. Robert Moses, famous for getting whatever he wanted w/r/t highways, tried a similar plan over 70 years ago, and failed miserably.

(I don’t know if you’ve ever been to or lived in NYC, but you can’t just build a mega highway over Canal Street — it runs through four of the densest neighborhoods in the borough, plus two of the highest income ones. That’s before construction or easement logistics, even — we’re talking about half a million people who would riot if the city tried to put an elevated highway by their windows.)

And as a final thing: congestion pricing was slated to raise $15 billion for the MTA, which in turn was allocated for improvements to the actual backbone for the city: the subway, LIRR, and Metro-North. There were key schedule, maintenance, and capital improvements planned that would have made life better for millions of city residents (myself included) that are now in limbo. So it isn’t accurate to say that this wasn’t connected to improvements; the improvements may just not have been legible to you.
Please elaborate further on what you mean by the phrasing of "Rural existence is already subsidized...."

I'm a bit "spectrumish." It's definitely way better, this late in life, than it was, when I was younger, but it's still there, if you know what to look for (my wife knows what to look for).

One aspect of it, that has always been a part of the package, is that folks Just. Don't. Like. Me.

Most, if questioned about their dislike, may come up with a couple of things, like "He's abrupt," or "He's arrogant," but these are also exactly the traits present in many folks that they do like. They are just trying to justify this "feeling" that they have about me.

As anyone in my shoes can tell you, we're "bully magnets." Most of us were recipients of multiple atomic wedgies, in school. My grade school days were a living hell. Again, there's no real "reason" for the hate. There's just something about us that pisses them off. I suspect that the "resting bitch face," prevalent amongst us may have something to do with it. It often looks as if we're being hostile, when we're not. I spent many years, training my "resting" face to be one that's basically "harmless dork," as opposed to "angry bastard." Doesn't win me a lot of respect, but, at least, I'm not being attacked out of the starting gate, anymore.

I've gotten used to it. It doesn't even really bother me too much, these days, and it happens a lot less. Feeling sorry for myself is a waste of time. I used to get all butthurt about it, but that was just stupid of me. Others have far worse crosses to bear. In the aggregate, it's been a good thing. I'm fairly decent at my software development.

The folks that matter, stick around. I do have a fairly large circle of close friends and associates that don't let my "oddness" get in the way, and enough folks have respected me, that I was able to make a decent living.

But many of us don't have those "soft" skills, that can be important, when working in a team, or trying to establish relationships with other people.

"keylogger" may not be the right term here? I'm not familiar with how that term is broadly used for, but my definition of that term is a tool that logs your keypresses. Here, it seems like it was scraping your chrome/firefox data for login cookies?

Honestly there's quite a lot of malware that go against those files, I wonder if there's a way to require high privilege to accessing chrome/firefox appdata, or just block it entirely from other apps.
That's fair that perception is often wrong - but that's a different issue.

Perception is also in large part the very thing that matters when it comes to crime. That is, do I get to live in peace or in constant worry? Do I get my property priced "fairly" when I sell or dramatically underpriced because of this perception that the area is unsafe? To summarize, in what you describe "crime stats" are ignoring half or two thirds of the problem.

In San Francisco, "crime stats" are further muddied because of massive underreporting and cherry picking the definition. So called quality of life crime might be considered irrelevant because it rarely causes massive loss of property or injury. But it does make life extremely stressful for the locals (depending on the neighborhoods where it might be "tolerated" i.e. left rampant, or might not be tolerated.) In this case, "crime stats" deliberately not measuring anything very relevant.

Loading your rust code into your existing KDB data lake and periodically updating it will be a significantly smaller lift than rewriting your data lake.

It sounds like you are some sort of Quant Dev on a desk, and so it's really up to you what you want to do. If you push against the grain to do a data lake rewrite, you'll own the time/effort/outcome of a big Data Engineering project. So you better be very right and also very fast.

If you are looking for solutions within your existing data lake, I've posted up a few sources / thoughts for you to get on and do your Quant Dev work.

You sound very set on some sort of rewrite, so you should do what your heart desires. Just make sure you deliver value to your desk.

I don't understand the viewpoint many people have on these matters. I know someone who has been lying to her elderly mother (now deceased) for years stating she won't contest the will, which names her sister as the owner of the house which is now in a well-to-do area.

The funeral had only finished a day before when she started contesting it.

If I die from something with a few days warning, I'll transfer everything I can to a trust administered by someone I can trust whilst I'm still alive to remove this option. Although I'm sure that'll be contested too.

> text produced without concern as to its truth value.

Since the "concern", if the model has one at all, is to produce text likely to be produced by humans in the same context, then that would imply that it has concern as to it's truth value, precisely in as much as the average human has concern about the truth of the text they produce.

Careful, in C++ `abs(x) = y` is equally likely to put y into abs(x).

Jokes about C++ aside, many DSPs with their own assembly languages have chosen to learn from C and higher level languages. The following style of syntax is not uncommon for DSPs (I am not using a specific one, but an abstract style), where writing assembly is expected:

R1 = R2 + R3;

R5 = R1 * R3;

R4 = POPCOUNT(R1);

R3 = [R0] <- loads data at pointer in R0 into R3

Curiously, RISC-V didn't do this despite having the option to write their own new assembler. I guess the old opcodes die hard, but I also assume it has to do with LLVM strongly suggesting [OPCODE] [ARGS] syntax for assembly.
I assume that's what c-level people have in their mind:

Nothing is accurate and fail-safe 100%. You just have to reach a level where it is good enough most of the times to make money with it.

Also, human brains are neural networks too, so that's where we know what the minimum is which is (theoretically) possible with this kind of technology.
A redeeming factor is that approximately no one is using the SVT-AV1 decoder, it's almost only for encodes, where you don't care as much since there's nothing privileged in your encoding container besides the current input being encoded

(But... the actual decoder everyone uses is dav1d, and that's majority straight ASM, with a little bit of C glue code. So. Still not a solved problem.)
> and read any resources you may have on this subject,

If anything, I'd suggest reading up on the details of FMLA.

FMLA is not, for example, a free pass to take time off as needed, or regularly.

The wording of FMLA is more about recovering from an illness. Someone who routinely becomes overwhelmed with work and needs extra time off is going to have a hard time arguing that it's actually FMLA protected leave.. FMLA will specifically exclude things like taking time off for routine medical care, because it's specifically not for those purposes.

While this article (car) isn't quiet es problematic if scalped as it's essentially a luxury product, the argument you made to justify it would also apply to everything else, and that should tell you that the action itself is at the very least morally questionable.

At the San Mateo County Fair, parking is $15 with cc or $20 in cash. This may be due to risk of robbery, or because they have no way of reconciling their receipts against any sort of inventory (and do not trust the employees to turn over all of the cash).

I have to think robbery isn't the main concern, however, since the lines are typically so long it would be hard to get in and out rapidly (and there are a decent number of cops around).

The market price wouldn't go up like that if you did that. Other people would import food into the region for a much smaller margin than that, and you'd be left with nothing but empty pockets and a lot of spoiled food.

I'm a fan of most of what Knuth has done, and in particular I love the high quality _output_ of the TeX family. But TeX's language is extremely difficult to use. I suspect this is true for any macro-expansion-like language.

If you like deep dives, I suggest two follow-up tools for mathematical typesetting:

1. LuaTeX, which is TeX + Lua scripting support. (luatex.org) An example:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/70/what-is-a-simple-...

This has become my default, and I enjoy it. (I use lualatex.)

2. A friend of mine was inspired to write a modern macOS app for math typesetting. It's called MadHat:

https://madhat.design/

One of the coolest features is "no compilation," which I view as a slight exaggeration, but what's true is that it can work quickly and incrementally so you don't have a compile-and-wait cycle, even on long documents.

I have been somewhat impressed by Mojeek, but it does have two obvious flaws:

For English language searches, it completely usable, but not quite as good as Bing or Google. I really wanted to try to use Mojeek as my default for an extended period of time, but the lack of good local search makes it a bit annoying.
