Can you describe it in any greater detail? What does the periphery of the blemish look like?
Thanks for your insights.

I suspect the mind is just like a body in the sense that the more you engage a particular muscle the easier it gets.

When I’m struggling with something I find it helpful to reframe statements into questions to activate creativity and clear any unconscious barriers that the mind is enforcing.
Bigger and a lot faster means a lot more research and experimentation.

There are probably plenty of undiscovered architectures out there which might be the next thing.

It is quite a problem if every experiment takes days weeks or month.
Rust statically enforces that you have exclusive access to a collection to mutate it. This prevents also having an active iterator.

You also have languages using immutable or persistent data structures in their std lib to side-step the problem.

in the wild, plants compete for space and resources and the leaves act as a funnel to direct water (including dew) to the roots that might not otherwise be captured. the leaves can also serve as a shield to prevent the soil around the roots from being eroded by rainfall.

in a garden where plants do not have neighbours competing for space and water isn't scarce, there's no reason to water the leaves when you could just water the roots directly.
This is about asking the compiler for a constexpr and receiving a runtime evaluation, not ownership semantics.

With anonymous voting, resistance can grow over time. Election #1 may see 1% of voters vote against the despot. Encouraged by that, the people increases that to 10% in election #2. Further encouragement sees that go to 60% in election #3.

With non-anonymous voting, the people would still be encouraged by that 1%, but also seeing 1% of voters lose their job/get beaten/go to jail/… puts a serious damper on that encouragement leading to “I’ll vote against next time”.

That’s why non-anonymous voting doesn’t work against despots.
I remember this and was really impressed by your approach.

I hope this is the first of a wave of policy declaring access to stable housing a human right. It's practically impossible to avoid poverty and instability without this. Need an address to open bank accounts, get employment checks, receive medication delivery (useful for people with disabilities), and just to store your personal belongings safely.
I took deliberate care to specify the terms and the concepts they correspond to, so I am confused by your statements that I was using ambiguous or loaded terminology. I was merely pointing out that the specific tactic proposed is untenable and instead demands a different approach and primitives.

As to your actual question, the underlying concept is fairly easy to do and fully supported by the hardware if done appropriately. There are no difficulties with TLB coherence because the problems are a subset of multithreaded TLB coherence, so any kernel supporting multithreading should already have those mechanisms readily available for repurposing.

The only difficulty is if the software abstractions of the memory manager you are working with disagree with the concept. I am unfamiliar with the Linux kernel, but if the abstractions are wrong for the concept then you probably need to go look and modify code related to processes rather than threads.

Computers are amazing. So why is software so terrible?
It's a matter of easiness of separations: in natural deposits you have to process much material to get a little quantity of mineral, but getting a pure enough mineral is still easy.

Separating alloys it's often much harder because alloy component tend to change phase together (so you can make them liquid, but you still have no way to separate when they are liquid) chemical bonds keeps them together. For some it's easy, let's say you add a substance that separate them, or heat separate them because they change from solid to liquid at different temperatures and so on, for many others it's complicated enough you recover little quantity of the original material spending too much in the process.
LLM is the best human to computer interface I have ever seen.

Together with voice to text through whisper for example we broke the UI barrier.

It takes a little bit of time to rebuild our ecosystem but llms are game changer already.

I'm waiting for a finetuned none fact knowing small LLM which knows everything it needs to know for this specific task.

And I'm waiting until everything critical is rewritten so I can use one ai agent to control my bank, calendar, emails and stuff.

From the description, I'm guessing that the game your father played was "Firefox", a 1983 laser disc game by Atari.

The game synced dynamic computer graphics on top of pre-recorded laser disc background video. The "somehow switch to footage of the enemy aircraft crashing and burning" was, unsurprisingly, accomplished by simply jumping to a different track on the laserdisc, and typically happened when you completed one level and were about to begin the next.

I've never played it myself, but the gameplay actually looks surprisingly similar to Atari's vector graphic "Star Wars" game.

Or maybe not surprisingly once you notice that Firefox was created by the same team who had made that Star Wars arcade game the year before, and would go on to make the also-similar Empire Strikes Back arcade game the following year. I guess if you've got a winning formula, don't mess with it too much!

I remember once standing at a booth at the MacWorld Expo looking up at the massive display of a newly released game "Jump Raven" in which you were tasked with flying a hovercraft through city streets, shooting baddies, and all that usual video game stuff. I commented to the random guy standing next to me, "It looks a bit like Apache Strike, doesn't it?", referring to an old helicopter sim from like eight years earlier which had used a very similar viewpoint and game mechanics, albeit with only fairly primitive black and white graphics. And that random guy standing next to me turned and said, "I'm allowed to plagiarize from myself". Oops! (Sorry, Bill, I hadn't realised you were the programmer on Jump Raven too!) :D

Good advice, but it also depends on the size of the project. For a very large project you may have to do it in phases, i.e. start with a very high-level breakdown, and then proceed with phase 1 and park whole sub systems for later.

This is just wishful thinking, similar to how people dream of "decolonization" of Russia.

Russia will continue having (one of) the largest nuclear stockpiles in the world and you can bet they would use it when China invaded Siberia like that.

It also makes zero sense for China to turn your most important "ally" (in the sense of resistance to the West) to your mortal enemy.
I grew up poor, in a village, but otherwise have had a fairly rich life. I've landed on the other side: well off and in the city. Still alone, however.

The hassle of finding my way in life and finally doing it made me "overly independent" given common sentiment.

I'm generally fine, yet outside of posts like this... I have absolutely no interest to connect. When people at work try to get close I actually feel saddened by my incapability.

The argument could certainly be made that opening up strengthens. That may be true. It may also be a transactional relationship going the other way.

I've had that vulnerability exploited enough. It's not as simple as "we like smooshing our meat bits together". Game theory exists.

Avoidance, yes, but show me where it has failed... me.

Rhetorical, not an accusation: it feels very strange to judge others for their independence. Why, so you can benefit?

Personally, the question isn't "why aren't people socializing". It's: "why is it worthwhile?". There's no universal answer - we must find it, I'm still trying.

All of this to say, we all play our hands. Sometimes too well.

Oh my. Everyone who cares about tomatoes grows their own, supermarkets are for the rest. They are not demanding and will grow anywhere there's sun, including in pot on balcony.
It's been a long lasting peeve of mine. I Live in London, where you can easily satisfy every kink, even the most exotic fruits and spices are found in every corner of the city.

Yet, for the love of me, I cannot find any tasty tomato. Even if money is no issue, it just doesn't seem to exist? A giant void in a huge market? At this point, I'd pay 10x prices without blinking.

It's fair that I cannot find them in winter, but even now, the heart of summer when they are the best, I cannot find any remotely resembling the ones found in big quantities in random Balkan supermarkets.

Australia has heavily imbalanced supply-demand in housing.

This worries me from a positioning standpoint. I imagine a large amount of people with a garden bed, even a large one, garden because they like it, this would get in the way of that. The device doesn’t appear like it would scale well to anything large enough, and even then it would compete with much more sophisticated solutions that do this.

I feel like it’s actual market may end up being pretty narrow, not that it isn’t it a cool idea, it is, but it just gave me that gut reaction that it falls squarely in the uncanny valley between industrial users and hobbyists.
Thanks for the clarification. I was confused because I've heard people say that about MI300x as well.

There's a ton of discussion of alternative ideas as comments. Many look amazing.

But I keep wondering how many would be useful in giving us the modularity to make something like the shareable charts Helm has. That bitnami and others have these massive troves of charts is such a superpower for Kubernetes.

We all seem to agree it's not the string templating that's excellent, but figuring out how to package & make modular the templates/generators, and how to manage the outputs of the generators: that's "the rest of the owl" that tools such as Kustomzie and languages such as Dhall and starlark don't really buy us.

There is MetaController, which seems like some way to operationalize running generators and managing outputs. But I'm not sure what good examples there are of its use and specifically what examples are intended for distribution alike Helm Charts sometimes are.
Yes, you are right of course. But still the point is that you don't need to compute all intermediate steps everywhere.

As one of the founders, I understand the assumption that our service might work like Google or Bing. However, the $39 option is simply a premium choice for those who prefer not to wait through the ad. The actual cost of the visit is still lower than the $19 our patients pay. We encourage patients to use the ad-supported option, as it helps us attract more advertisers and grow our platform.

Our long-term goal is to expand and offer additional services, while keeping our core offering—quick doctor visits—at $19, or ideally even lower in the future. Our three founding doctors aim to make healthcare actually affordable and our future advertisers will subsidize the cost. That is our hypothesis for this startup.

There are numerous telehealth platforms that are on a subscription basis with similar pricing, so it's not unrealistic to have prices such as a $19 visit.

We've been live for a few months, and our 400+ patients have responded positively to the $19 doctor visits.

This just does not match my experience with these tools. I've been on board with the big idea expressed in the article at various points and tried to get into that work flow, but with each new generation of models they just do not do well enough, consistently enough, on serious tasks to be a time or effort saver. I don't know what world these apparently high output people live in where their days consist of porting Conway's Game of Life and writing shell scripts that only 'mostly' need to work, but I hope one day I can join them.
There’s been a bunch of progress in the field since then. Oliver de Weck from MIT and his group have devised a way to calculate system complexity, correlates that with both cost and cognitive effort and shown, that it indeed has a hump-like shape on simulated systems. Furthermore, one can demonstrate, that in some sense optimal number of connections between system elements exists and that this optimum is linear in relation to the number of nodes for k>10. Thus, you can calculate the number of connections between your microservices beyond which you are better off with a monolith.
> Rust's choice here (thus avoiding IFNDR) is to reject programs unless it can show that they meet the requirements.

I wonder if a C++ compiler that does that would be feasible. A lot of this check avoidance is due to the expense of compilation when the language was created (and, back then, C++ itself was sometimes considered prohibitively expensive). The Rust compiler is slow because it’s doing a lot of work (the same reasoning applied comparing C++ to C - and C++ started as a transpiler compiling C++ to C first.

> Firstly the 60% have chosen iOS

Have we really made an informed choice or did I just go into a store to "buy a phone". I don't recall a booklet with each device what you can and can't do on it? e.g. iPhone "can't play Fortnite, Apple temporarily doesn't like Epic" would have been a good warning.

> They are not "hostage" they can leave

I think if you try changing ecosystems today, you will realise it's a very painful process. Apple and Google don't interoperate, don't follow standards (or just invent their own) and there are aspects of both ecosystems that are closed so no "move my stuff" app can ever be smooth and feature complete. Also, how do I convince my family and friends to switch so we don't downgrade to a green bubble situation.
PRC want to pacify TW as security risk foremost, reunifying with irradiated but harmless crater of island is not ideal, but preferrable consolation prize to nuclearized TW. Cross strait camaraderie is nice for propaganda, but ultimately really about the soil, not the people, and even radioactive land with no people will suffice. Conventional invasion difficult, might be tried first, but wouldn't rule out radioactive exclusion zone and then airdropping soldiers on one way mission to destroy nuclear program. Secessionist getting nukes (remember TW lack of status as UN) is boots on ground situation, PRC has political carte blanche to do what they want on basically ISIS trying to sprint for nukes, pretty much no one wants proliferation under these circumstances, and PRC will be going gloves off for gaza tier and worse response.

If TW could nuclearize without PRC (or US) knowing, they would have already. But I don't think they can, and despite the occasional US hawks thinks it's neat idea to put TW under US nuclear umbrella, sane planners they know PRC will attribute TW nuclearizing to US negligence (really participation) since unlikely TW can do so without PRC notice unless US help obfuscate. Trying to hide being near threshold while waiting for PRC collapse and assume PRC won't/can't find out even less likely. In which case that's a Cuban crisis PRC won't flinch from, and TW nuclear use will be equivicated with US nuclear use. It's not the galaxy brain one simple trick people think it is. As PRC builds up nuke parity with US, this idea going to be extra bad.

Somewhat related, domestic politics aside, one has to wonder if other forces behind why TW is decommissioning her nuclear plants and becoming even more energy dependant, and less nuclear latent.
I’m not so convinced that this is a property of functional programming as much as simply good programming. I’ve seen functional programs that pass around huge data structures that couple functionality. I’ve never seen the benefit of performing elaborate monadic dances to avoid state that would have been simpler to represent in a non-functional language.
