I will agree with you on one thing. Having `vrgather` use the same `LMUL` for both operands is not ideal. It's natural, of course, for permutations, where the actual data is in the lookup table and the indexes are the permutation, but not for other uses where the indexes are the data and the table is a table. Having the table ignore `vl` is also ugly.

The proper solution would, I think, be to have duplicate `vtype` and `vl` CSRs that are set up by a different `vsetvl2` instruction. It would be seldom-enough used to dispense with the opcode-expensive immediate form and only take the type from a register, making it a cheap I-type instruction.

This would also solve the problem of table and indexes having different element sizes that prompted the late creation of the `vrgather16` instruction and imposition of the artificial 65536 bit limit on `VLEN` in RVV 1.0 and foreshadowing of a potential future `vrgather32`.

Canonical forms, smart stuff, a lot of hardcoding.

Canonical forms are the really important part. Simple example: there are multiple ways a program might say “X * 2”. You could shift left by 1. You could multiple by 2. You could add X to itself. The idea of canonical forms is that in one pass, the compiler will pattern match all the ways you can do this and reduce all of them to the same canonical form - say, left shift by 1. Then, subsequent passes that want to catch more complex uses of that construct only have to look for one version of it (left shift 1) and not all three.

Here’s a more complex case. Ternary expressions in C and if-else statements have the same representation in llvm IR generated by clang: basic blocks and branches. There are multiple ways of representing the data flow (could use allocas and stores/loads or SSA data flow) but both the sroa and mem2reg passes will canonicalize to SSA. And, last I checked llvm says that the preferred canonical form of a if-then-else is a select (I.e. conditional move) whenever the two are equivalent. So, no matter what you use to write the equivalent of std::min - macros, templates, whatever, coding style don’t matter - you will end up eventually with a select instruction whose predicate is a comparison. Then - if your CPU supports doing min in a single instruction, it’s trivial for the instruction selector to just look for that kind of select. This happens not because every way of writing min is hardcoded, but because multiple rounds of canonicalization (clang using basic blocks and branches for both if/else and ternaries, sroa and mem2reg preferring SSA, and if conversion preferring select) gets you there.

A lot of this is hardcoding, but it’s not the boring “hardcode everything” kind of approach, but rather, it’s about using multiple phases that each produce increasingly canonical code that makes subsequent pattern matching simpler.

why is it that there are not the best 5, 50 or 500 people on the ballot and I as a voter can mark any and all that I think I know will do the job the way I want them to
> In some respects, the VLIW design can be thought of as "super-RISCy", as it offloads the instruction selection process to the compiler as well. In the VLIW design, the compiler examines the code and selects instructions that are known to be "safe", and then packages them into longer instruction words. For instance, for a CPU with two functional units, like the PRISM, the compiler would find pairs of safe instructions and stuff them into a single larger word. Inside the CPU, the instructions are simply split apart again, and fed into the selected units.

Wait a second.

So while this is all fancy and gives a better performance (with a mature compiler chuckles in Itanium)... but it's totally incompatible with virtualisation (as we know it on x86 systems)?

Cache trashing is surely always a way to throw out the performance, but this design would make it times worse, AFAIU?

We slashed police funding in Portland and decimated the force available (to the point where the 911 response time to a robbery in my building was ~6 hours, local businesses my friends work at have private security for employees to call instead of 911, I've been on hold for the non-emergency police line for over 3 hours on multiple occasions, etc).

Things are swinging back the other direction now, as seen by people like Rene Gonzalez (who ran on re-funding and utilizing police toward the local homeless problems) beating out the incumbent Jo Ann Hardesty (who refused to work with police in almost any capacity) in 2022, and a few more police re-funding votes passed since then.
It's difficult to take this in good faith since the amount of effort to understand why this opinion is misguided is so minimal:

People voted for him in the primary based on the belief that he was and would stay in good health. The debate revealed that belief to be false. Post-debate, Democratic voters were massively (70+%) in favor of him resigning his candidacy. NOT stepping down would have been the UNdemocratic thing to do.
I remember trying to speak to my dad about the indigenous genocides committed by the American settlers and he said “that was a long time ago.” And while much can be said of such a response, it’s important to recognize that genocides of various groups and regions have occurred throughout the history of colonization, and before, for hundreds and for thousands of years, they have never stopped, and are ongoing to this day. Such things were not a long time ago. They were in the 1990’s, they are today. They can only be ended by a recognition of and reconciliation with the force inside of us that drives us to ignore the needs of others so that we may have what they possess. We must recognize the humanity in all people.

Carl Sagan said “It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri and the other nearby stars. It will be a species very like us, but with more of our strengths and fewer of our weaknesses, more confident, farseeing, capable, and prudent.” [1]

Maybe reconciling with these beasts of our nature, growing up and becoming more far seeing and confident, will be a part of that process.

The primary one linked there is certainly not the same issue, it was a bug in the Linux kernel's ebpf handling. It happened to be triggered by Crowdstrike, but the bug is undeniably a Linux kernel bug which was subsequently patched, as ebpf programs should never be able to panic the kernel.

That's not to say that there haven't been other Crowdstrike fails on Linux, especially pre-eBPF module, but that's not one, and that class of failures has been eliminated in the move to the eBPF based module.

Yes. Because Trump "winning" what was potentially the worst debate in US history isn't even worth a consolation prize.

Sure, but it's not Trump's platform. If he wanted to implement those policies, he'd put them in his platform.

He didn't.

Just like the Democrats, lots of left wing policy groups have a list of policies they'd like Biden to implement. It would be silly of me to assume otherwise.

> I do acknowledge that Trump has been trying to distance himself from Project 2025 lately.

This is an odd take. "Trying to distance himself"? I think you mean "clarifying that those policies are not his own".

Yeah, I don't think split ticket with Harris is honestly the way to go. To pull it off you'd need a Democrat from closer to the center who can credibly pitch a narrative of healing a bitterly divided nation and fixing the poisonous rhetoric that is driving us apart. Nominate someone like that with a Romney (but not necessarily actually Romney) as VP and you'd have a ticket that's actually designed to address the democracy-ending problems that the Democrats purport to see.

Nominating Harris with another left-leaning running mate may make the most sense from a purely strategic perspective, but I don't think that's because anyone seriously expects her to win at this point or because it's actually their best shot at protecting democracy from the impending apocalypse. They're just hoping that having her in the president slot leads to fewer losses in the rest of the races.

> people weren't getting dementia at 40 back then

Citation needed. That claim seems clouded by today's standard of living.

Before there was clean drinking water, alcohol was much more widely consumed. Were people demented, drunk, or experiencing alcoholic dementia?

Before OSHA, jobs could cause similar symptoms. "Mad as a hatter" referred to hat-makers commonly getting mercury poisoning, as one example of job-induced dementia.

Before the FDA, we have examples from food and medicine.

Etc.
For the problem of lifting as many as possible out of poverty there aren't really any good answers so I think it comes down what each person's preferred trade-offs are. No minimum wage is good because it lowers the barrier to potentially gainful employment as well as making it easier to meet the work requirement for certain government benefits. High minimum wage is good because if you can get a job you'll make enough to not need benefits and it puts a floor on how much value a job needs to actually produce to be worthwhile and orients the economy around more skilled work.

But both options kinda suck. No minimum wage when wages can be depressed below CoL creates a decay in its own way.

My preferred ideal is setting minimum wage not by rule but via a standing government work program available to anyone that pays above CoL for the area. Then private employers can compete on price or by offering easier less-stressful work.

I understand this perspective but I think it misses the forest for the trees. You have to evaluate this kind of stuff in context.

Yes and that would be a good thing, if people stopped thinking that by-state voting for the presidential office is a good thing in the first place. The way it is now means that your vote's weight depends on your street address. You can't move to to upstate New York to improve your influence because New York City will weigh you down. But you can move to New Hampshire and then of course the weight of your vote will improve much.

> Not wanting immigration laws enforced is exactly what I'm talking about with nudge-nudge wink-wink.

But there are lots of explanations beyond "wink-wink" for not enforcing immigration policies. The Democrats want more immigration, even if it's illegal, so where they have the power (say SF) they don't enforce them.

That doesn't mean the Democrats are happy with the status quo of a large illegal immigrant working popoulation.

> Also you're crazy if you think most Republicans in Congress actually want immigration laws enforced.

Really? So place like Texas that are trying to stop illegal immigration at the border but being blocked really want illegal immigration? I don't think so.

Fine tune will bias something to return specific answers. It's great for tone and classification. It's terrible for information. If you get info out of it, it's because it's a consistent hallucination.

Embeddings will turn the whole thing into a bunch of numbers. So something like Sentinel will probably match with similar feats. Embeddings are perfect for searching. You can convert images and sound to these numbers too.

But these numbers can't be stored in any regular DB. Most of the time it's somewhere in memory, then thrown out. I haven't looked deep into txtai but it looks like what it does. This is okay, but it's a little slow and wasteful as you're running the embeddings each time. So that's what vector DBs are for. But unless you're running this at scale where every cent adds up, you don't really need one.

As for preprocessing, many embedding models are already good enough. I'd say try it first, try different models, then tweak as needed. Generally proprietary models do better than open source, but there's likely an open source one designed for game books, which would do best on an unprocessed D&D book.

However it's likely to be poor at matching pages afaik, unless you attach that info.

One nitpick with this: “Ordinary” people mostly don’t own any IP that earns them any income.

Most who earn their income from IP are society’s elites. Perhaps the lowest-paid least elite IP profession I can think of is journalists, and I’m pretty sure they are doing works for hire and not owning the copyright.

Arguably when it comes to the IP questions, ordinary people are far more likely to be benefiting from AI (for instance getting it to make art they couldn’t express because of lack of talent) than they are to be be robbed of their IP in a way that matters.

Obviously the question of AI harming ordinary people in terms of automating mundane jobs is a very real one, but interestingly it’s totally irrelevant to the IP issues.
