Russia and most other post-Soviet countries maintained mandatory military draft, with education being one of the only non-health-related exemptions available. Because of the sad state of those armies in the 90's, 00's, and even 10's, very few young men in particular were willing to basically waste a year or so of their life, so instead nearly every male school graduate went into a university, which contributed to the statistics.

It’s possible with RC but not GC.

GC != RC.

A type system can let you say things like “make sure someone finds out when I assign this pointer”. But that’s not what GC wants, unless (as I said before) you’re happy with your non-GC heap pinning objects (the browser isn’t, but some GC clients are, sometimes). GC wants a guarantee like: you cannot have a pointer in any data structure unless that data structure can be found by GC, and when it is found, make sure to respond to the GC’s request to scan it. That ends up being hard to do with any type system, unless that type system only allows objects to be allocated by that GC and the abstraction sits in the compiler/runtime below the type system (like in Java, Go, and Fil-C).

As another person with low working memory (but decent long term memory) I can posit things aren’t that simple. Working memory has to be wired for recall, and my guess is that wiring may be different from what connects to longer term persistence. Someday soon perhaps we’ll understand just how complex it all really is…
>You seem to think that the street-level homicide rate is too high, and I'd agree. I would say that, as such murders are generally crimes of passion or disordered thinking - instinct or illness (psychological, social) rather than reason - harsh punishments are not necessarily useful in deterring them.

I think this entirely depends on the circumstances around the murder. Was it committed by someone without a significant criminal record because they got angry about something? Or was it committed by a gang member as part of their criminal enterprise (in which case, it was not a "crime of passion" or a result of "disordered thinking", but rather sociopathic thinking)?

For the former, I agree that harsh punishments probably aren't that useful for deterrence, though they do tend to make victims (or their families) feel better. For the latter, however, I'd argue that long prison sentences, while they may not rehabilitate these hardened criminals, at least serve to keep them out of society.

To relate back to Boeing, I think their actions are similar in a way to those of people in violent organized crime gangs. They were done without conscience, and purely for material gain, so they probably should be treated similarly.

It's not that bad. It's helpful to understand what's happening down at the instruction, memory access, and fence level, but most code just uses some kind of scoped mutex. You don't often have to think all this through.

The big win in Rust is that the mutexes are tied to the data they protect. The compiler won't let you access data until it's locked. You can still deadlock, though.

I suspect a lot of that depreciation has to do with the battery life and replacement cost. For the current used market it's pretty drastic. I'm not sure if it's just a flooded market, a fad ending, people just don't like EV's after owning them, Tesla cutting prices, or what. Perhaps some of all of that.

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/05/poor-resale-values-of-evs-ar...

Edit:

A recent study from iSeeCars.com showed the average price of a 1- to 5-year-old used EV in the U.S. fell 31.8% over the past 12 months, equating to a value loss of $14,418. In comparison, the average price for a comparably aged internal combustion engine vehicle fell just 3.6%.

https://spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west/transportation/2023/11/...

The Tesla Model S topped the list of EVs that depreciated most over five years; it lost 55.5% of its value, according to the analysis. Rounding out the top five were the Chevrolet Bolt EV (-51.1%), the Nissan Leaf (-50.8%), Tesla Model X (-49.9%) and Tesla Model 3 (-42.9%).

Overall, the average vehicle lost 38.8% of its value after five years, according to the analysis. Trucks retained the most value (depreciating 34.8% over five years), followed by hybrids and SUVs, which depreciated 37.4% and 41.2% respectively.

Environmental guilt only goes so far in terms of sales. For large adoption, the depreciation problem needs to be solved. Wealthy people (1st buyer) can afford to throw money at EVs over and over again and usually keep their vehicle only 2-3 years. Middle class (2nd buyer) need a dependable car that costs less per month (cost minus sell value) and lower class people (3rd buyer) need a vehicle that will last forever. The current state of EV's only satisfies the first and maybe some of the second buyer market while an ICE satisfies all three.

EV's sure are cool though.

Does anyone have any tips for debugging EFI_STUB kernels when they fail to boot? I've run into BIOS before that I can't get EFI_STUB to work on but grub works fine and I'm not sure why or even how to go about getting any debug info since the bios/firmware is a block box.

> The essence of what you said is this: older people do not deserve a job because they are older. The bigger issue seems to be that you are overthinking, and over analyzing for what in my opinion is just ordinary jobs.

No. This has nothing to do with age. If you started your career at 45 and have 0 years of experience, then you should qualify for internship roles. If you have 40 years of experience, then you should not be selected for entry level jobs.

> No, it's not. The candidate has applied for a job because he could not get anything better. Ever been in a situation where you are laid off and where you had to pay the bills immediately, and did not have the luxury of finding a well-paid job?

No, I have not. But also, you're right that having that job would help them out, but it would do a disservice to the company. They are more likely to leave early when their responsibility doesn't match their experience level. Imagine how a principle engineer would feel if they were treated like an intern, because their role is intern? Sure they might need that job for cash flow reasons, but they will leave as soon as they can.

> I could go on, but I think some harsh experiences for you, like layoffs would be your greatest teacher.

I have had "harsh" experiences. I have 14 years of industry experience. I've been laid off multiple times. I've worked at companies that completely shutdown. I have had to lay other people off.
When is that video from? The studies he mentions, of BSTc and INAH-3 nuclei, are from way back in 1990s and early 2000s, and there has been much research since which disputes the stance he's taken in this video. Specifically, when researchers controlled for sexual orientation, there was no cross-sex shift in brain structures that correlated with transsexuality.
I have the same problem but its not actually the text that matters but the bright background will constrict your pupils, reducing the amount of lens they use, which reduces the distortion.

I would think that making it manage musl/alpine first-class and not require a branch in the road to deal with it, was worth the effort. Things like this make it harder enough that people will do hacky modes of work to get around it.

Many seem a bit confused but I have only skimmed the comments.

I don't understand the point of the thing described in the OP (I have not watched the talk, just skimmed the notes), myself. Linux kernels can EFI load themselves; if you want more flexibility than a precompiled kernel command line, or to load from ext4/other non-FAT filesystems, refind exists, fits on the ESP (kernel + initramfs can get big; I keep mine on the ESP but wanting to keep it on a larger ext4 filesystem is very understandable) and is very high quality.

Bootloaders are obsolete in this sense; every OS provides an EFI stub loader, except Linux where kernels are their own EFI stub; nevertheless, distros continue to install GRUB alongside themselves on UEFI systems out of inertia. If Red Hat wants to supplant it... okay, but it can be supplanted today with very good components, even if they weren't invented there.

Interesting. I’m bipolar and I can absolutely say core training does not work for me. My working memory has a hard limit on the number of tokens it can store.

What does work is encoding complex ideas into longer term memory so they become one token instead of many. I typically shove them into visual memory.

The best way I can explain it is a terrain map. The map has trees which are flow charts, lakes which are distillations of many ideas into a small pools of concepts. Valleys of questions. Eventually everything is in my “mind’s eye” and I can figuratively fly over the data.

Now take that image and remove the visuals. My brain “sees” the map without needing to describe it. It exists as pure, untranslated thought. Intermediate steps, like language, would only get in the way.

The string is to indicate that it was found alongside the benchmark data, that's the whole point. If that string shows up, then it's extremely likely the test / benchmark data was there too, indicating it's contaminated.

In other words, if that string is present, the benchmark results for that model are a lie.

>If you want to boot more than one OS, yes you need one of these

Nope, you only need refind (a fancy menu, not a bootloader at all), and only then because of how impoverished the vendor's boot menu always is; if your configuration is simple enough you could just use that despite it sucking.
This is a lazy take.

If you want to quickly write a program, text is the way to go. Most developers are scratching their own itch and already know the system. They may surface a few GUI settings (if it's GUI), but no one wants to build a complete GUI ecosystem on top of Linux (unless you go fo a restricted version like ChromeOS or Android).

And with scripts, you can quickly write your own software by using existing ones. It can be your very special computing world.

Of course, time spans are different. But read the paper, it's dealing with incredibly basic techniques. When we're speaking on the level of "data should be in cache" and "cold code should be far away from the hot path" the fields are practically identical.

You're entirely correct that quant work is dealing with pure latency in situations where game engines might amortize throughput over multiple frames. But a question about "how do I get started in performance/latency work?" isn't usefully answered by "get a Hudson River Trading internship".

My philsophy is simple. If the program is intended to be distributable, just use Go. If it does not require port stuff, use docker. If you have an IT team or someone to hand you a computer with OS and Python version installed that everyone else in the org uses, use venv.

If you have to work with ports, you have to distribute programs, or your libraries depend on C or OS stuff, then start consulting where you do not have to manage the codebase or have no committment to it after getting paid.
