The whole point of "getting out of this mess" is so that you don't hyperinflate the currency, with all the economic and political damage that causes. "Don't bother doing either, just hyperinflate" is therefore not doing anything at all, just resigning yourself (and the country) to your fate.

I briefly walked through the article and I can confidently say these techniques are well-known among graphics programmers. These days even artists who can't write code know what triplaner mapping and PBR are, even though they can't implement them from scratch.

Doing something "well" is subjective, but there is no chance there are only less than 1000 people who know these.

I'm still thankful to the author for writing these down, of course.
I have yet to ever meet these types of people. They clearly don't exist.

The fact that landlords think they provide a service is comical. You don't.

Homes can be bought and sold within a year very easily even in 2nd and 3rd tier markets. I know because I've done it. The fact that the settlement period for home buying/selling takes so long is a technical problem that can be easily fixed with NFTs and other technology.

You are a leach and provide 0 service.

Isn't that the definition of the rule of law? When operating a society under the rule of law, morality is meant to define the framework of rules and regulations by which we live our lives. If the law is immoral then there should be a mechanism to change it—as is the case here.
It seems a bit high-level, kind of skimming over a bunch of architecture concepts with a couple references to the fact that this might be duplicated when hyperthreading, this might not…

IMO a blog post should be more actionable. This isn’t a textbook chapter. For example we go through the frontend. When discussing the trace cache we have:

> … Instruction decoding is an expensive operation and some instructions need to be executed frequently. Having this cache helps the processor cut down the instruction execution latency.

…

> Trace cache is shared dynamically between the two logical processors on an as needed basis.

…

> Each entry in the cache is tagged with the thread information to distinguish the instructions of the two threads. The access to the trace cache is arbitrated between the two logical processors each cycle.

So the threads share a trace cache, but keep track of which hyperthread used which instructions—but we don’t really know, practically, if we prefer threads that are running very similar computations or if that is a non-issue (that is, does the fact that they share the trace cache mean one thread can benefit from things the other has cached? Or does the tagging keep them separated?).

In general, often they say “this is split equally between the two threads” or “this is shared,” which makes me wonder “if I disable SMT does the now single-thread get access to twice as much of this resource, and are there cases where that matters.”

This is somewhat covered in:

> As we have seen, enabling SMT on a CPU core requires sharing many of the buffers and execution resources between the two logical processors. Even if there is only one thread running on an SMT enabled core, these resources remain unavailable to that thread which reduces its potential performance.

But this seems a bit fuzzy to me, I mean, we talk about caches which are shared dynamically between the two threads so at least some resources will be more readily available if only a single thread is running.

It also could be interesting—if the author is an expert, perhaps they could share their experience as to which pipeline stages are often bottlenecks that get tighter with hyperthreads on, and which aren’t? We have a sort of even focus on each stage without many hints as to which practically matter. Or how we can help them out. Also it is largely based on a 2002 whitepaper so I guess the specific pipeline stages must have evolved a bit since then.

Or maybe they could share some battle stories, favorite tools, some examples of applications and why they put pressure on particular stages, things which surprisingly didn’t scale when hyperthreads were enabled (I’m not asking for all these things, just any would be good).
> Wayland is the linux desktop's Perl 6/Raku.

Except that distributions are switching to Wayland by default, and
presumably nobody wants to maintain X11. I think X11 will live as long
as NVIDIA/AMD wants to maintain their drivers for it. If they'll say
"we're dropping X11", it will be the defacto death of it.

Also Wayland folks want to force the change and perform a violent
migration by forcing us all to use Wayland. This means that it is to be
expected that some stuff won't work. I don't agree with this on many
levels, but at the same time I don't have any better idea of improving
things to suggest.

Whatever is to be said about Wayland, ideologies and how distributions
are handling migrations, one thing is for sure: Linux needs Wayland.
On the other hand, nobody needs Perl6/Raku. Those things are not the
same.
As the internet gets more balkanized, censored, and controlled by a few giant companies, it makes me think that it's time for a different hobby. Something that can be used to subvert censorship (remember the whole "interprets it as damage and routes around it" conceit?) and is more hobbyists and less corporate sounds appealing.

Is Ham that hobby? I am genuinely asking. A few days ago a thread here had lots of people agreeing it was mostly old dudes being boring. But I like the idea that maybe I (in Europe) can talk to my friend (in the US) by bouncing radio waves off the moon, or some such, and not relying on intermediaries.

If the NSA knew how useful the info was, they would build a thousand clones to run the program on, connect them to clocks running zero, on, two, three, etc. years fast, and after a year know everything they’re supposed to know after 1000 years, after two years everything they’re supposed to know after 2000 years, etc.

If you’re a time traveler, you could likely get a secure enclave built a zillion years in the future and tested for a further zillion years. That likely would avoid the cloning, but still wouldn’t prevent the NSA from gambling that what you’ll tell them twenty years from now is more useful than what you’ll tell them tomorrow (hoping that they’ll be able to fill in intermediate steps if needed.

For example, if I told somebody from the 1930s how to sequence DNA, they probably could infer what DNA looks like and that DNA is something worthy of attention.

If you’re a time traveler, the simple solution is to just send them the info on the date you want them to know it, though.

Other languages do sometimes implement this at the library level. Clojure's core.async comes to mind (though there are subtle differences). There's downsides to this approach though.

The data going into each "mailbox" either needs to be immutable, or deep copied to be thread safe. This obviously comes at a cost. Sometimes you just have a huge amount of state that different threads need to work on, and the above solution isn't viable. Erlang has ets/dets to help deal with this. You will notice ets/dets looks nothing like the mailbox/process pattern.

Erlang is great, but it is hardly the "one true way". As with most things, tradeoffs are a thing, and usually the right solution comes down to "it depends".

I think with the right prompting you can easily get subtly ridiculous satire instead of “whimsical”:

*Abstract:*

The hypothesis that the Moon is composed of cheese, though traditionally viewed as a whimsical notion, warrants a serious re-examination through a multifaceted approach. This paper presents compelling evidence from historical texts, optical illusions, and chemical analogies to support this hypothesis. Historical documents reveal that ancient cultures, including the Greeks and medieval Europeans, described the Moon's surface as cheese-like, noting its porous and cratered appearance. Early telescopic observations by Galileo and others recorded surface features that strikingly resemble the texture of certain aged cheeses, such as Emmental and Roquefort.

Furthermore, modern spectroscopic analyses have identified organic compounds in lunar soil samples that share chemical similarities with components found in cheese, including carbonates and amino acids. Notably, the peculiar luminescence of some lunar regions parallels the phosphorescent qualities observed in certain mold-ripened cheeses. Additionally, lunar regolith's high calcium content mirrors the mineral composition of dairy products, suggesting a possible overlooked connection.

By combining historical accounts with contemporary scientific observations and chemical analyses, this paper advocates for a renewed consideration of the Moon's composition. Understanding the intersection of cultural mythology and scientific exploration can offer novel perspectives on celestial bodies and inspire innovative approaches in astrobiological research.

It is using pre hype old version of GPT. So it is quite dishonest that you would have to use this one to prove a point. It may work as a joke, but the model that the hype is for (GPT4) wouldn't perform that poorly.
