> Perhaps this is layman's understanding, but afaik all CPU operations are only done on registers, so any variable has to be moved to registers when it's operated on

From the CPU point of view, yes, but many instructions set architectures (including the very common x86 family) have instructions in which one of the operands can be either a register or a memory location. When it's a memory location, the CPU will load it into an internal register, do the operation there, and write it back to memory if it's the destination operand; but from the point of view of the compiler, the CPU is operating directly on memory.

> (or are some operations possible on memory without going to registers?)

Some atomic memory operations (like atomic compare and exchange) can be thought of as being done directly on memory (or on the cache which sits above the memory). Some CPUs might even implement it that way (by having an "atomic memory operation" command between the CPU and the cache, instead of doing the operation on the CPU).
It's because of stuff like this that it's so important to regularly break ABI.

I am curious, have you used a code generation tool that is linked to your IDE?

If I ask it, "why is the structure I am feeding into the `do_cool_stuff()` function not working", it won't say "sorry, I can't figure that out because I don't know the library that implements `do_cool_stuff()`. It will:

1. read my code where I construct the data to feed into the function,

2. see that the function is imported,

3. then read the file containing the linked `do_cool_stuff()` function to understand exactly what data structure it expects.

Crucially, the linked function can be anything from my own personal super secret UI framework for building widgets, to the `lib` folder containing my proprietary driver code for my unreleased hardware. This is fundamentally the LLM figuring out how to do "development [] against unreleased APIs or hardware".

I don't really know what "private knowledge" you are referring to, given you talk about Apple developing widgets against their new unreleased framework. The code is not really "private"; certainly to you or I it might be, but Apple owns the code on both sides of the interface, no? What precludes their internal generative AI tooling from doing the equivalent of Ctrl-Clicking through to the linked `do_cool_stuff()`?

If anything, this is perhaps a benefit of genAI; for security reasons, I am sure your average programmer at Apple is expected to work solely against the internal documentation regarding how `do_cool_stuff()` works, and has no access to the actual implementation of it. Yet, an in-house inference server could certainly have access to both sides without the risk of code leakage you have directly sharing the other side of an interface with the consuming developers.

To me, in this context, "closed source" implies something the LLM does not have access to the implementation details for, e.g. source unavailable for the user invoking the LLM; in this case, I think my original analysis holds re: genAI further encouraging the development on top of open source technologies.
Why? Japan found over 200k ghost centenarians in their database. A significant amount were fraud related, relatives that keep receiving checks for example. So not hard to believe for me.

Even if demand was so large as to be practically infinite, all it would mean is that San Francisco becomes the local Manhattan equivalent on the West Coast. Which in turn means big-government California progressives gets a whole lot of additional tax revenue to play with, at zero extra cost to the rest of the economy. How is that supposed to be a bad thing, exactly?
I wonder if this effect can also contribute to new allergies. My dog is on fluoxetine for anxiety. She also started having intermittent issues with hot spots and ear infections at some point after we started the fluoxetine. We have her on apoquel for allergies now, which is a steroid that impacts the immune system so she's getting double whammy impacts.
I actually fully agree with sentiment. iOS is my side project which I've started to literally figure out, why AppStore became so bad. Old school AppStore was a Klondike of good indie apps, but not any more, and now I actually do know the answer.

The point still stands that the choice of response should be appropriate, and there are several choices between inaction and deployment of the military.
It does seem to me that logically, you have two choices:

1) Take the numbers at face value. In that case, you are predicting millions of accusations of fraud and an enormous number of prosecutions in the next year or two.

2) the situation is somehow more complicated, and most of those millions of records with 140+ ages do not represent fraudulent activity.

P.S. Mentioning the blue zones is incredibly silly. Those regions have modest numbers of individuals being reported in the 100-120 age range, which probably are fraudulent. None of those areas have millions being reported to be 140+. For instance, Sardinia had 13 reported centenarians per 100,000 population, which would be equivalent to ~39,000 centenarians in the US. So it's orders of magnitude less than this database shows.
So the US is a threat because it refuses to pay disproportionate funds for the defense of Europe? I think everyone whining about it is losing their minds over nothing. We have been massively subsidizing these "friends" so that many of them can afford free healthcare. Fuck that noise.

I was just put on 6 weeks of antibiotics (ampicillin and ceftriaxone) for sepsis.

I thought I was coming down with an annual bug (so did the docs). 3 days after going into an urgent care where I was told I was negative for flu and covid, I went to the ER, where they drew blood. All 4 blood cultures returned positive for enterococcus faecalis.

The bacteria is very common in the intestines, but it's not clear (and probably never will be) how it made it into my bloodstream. Their best guess is inflammation in my gut allowing it to "leak" into the blood. This is after CT and ultrasounds of the abdomen.

29 years of no sepsis then.. random sepsis diagnosis!
I have been using Umami and I can't thank the people behind this project enough. It just works !! Not just it works well, they pull no tricks when it comes to self deployment and running it on your own. Many open source has a "run your own" option, but they would also want you to not run and use the managed version. I understand that part that they want to make money. But Umami, just works, you will never realize that there is an option where you need to pay $$. But if I make enough from my work, I am sure becoming a paid subscriber for their managed analytics.
Status updates rarely require a meeting. If there is a group and they all need to give status updates to each other, a meeting (e.g. a standup) can be an efficient way to do that, but so can a shared document or group email, which have the benefit of being asynchronous.

If a team of people need to give status updates to their manager, that should certainly not be a group meeting. Nothing worse than the "status meeting" where you spend 5 minutes giving your report and then 25 minutes waiting for the meeting to be over.
I occassionally mention to people that we can effectively have a supercomputer from 90s in our home if we so choose, but it that is lost on them since they use it for browsing at best. Tech and knowledge is only as scary as the individual wielding it. Human is the problem.

> that even prioritizing some payments ahead of others amounted to “default by another name.”

You are mis-interpreting this. Based on your interpretation, a government can never cut any spending to not be considered in default.

I think what Yellen meant is that you should pay all your obligations for services rendered and that you actually want to be rendered. This is not what DOGE proposing (and in no way I support that insanity) and the difference is quite clear.
In my mind, there is very little overlap in management which is about role power and leadership which is about relationship and reputation building.

Even a manager shouldn’t rely too much on role power to achieve objectives.

The problem with rich people is not that they are rich, it's the side effects of them being rich which cause other people to be poorer. I have no problem with Elon owning 10 megayachts if he wants to. Unless he's buying so much steel to build his megayachts that no one else can get steel things. Then it's a problem. And only then.

Even then, the problem could be Elon buying so much steel, or it could be steel manufacturers deliberately limiting steel production and only selling it to Elon to keep prices high. The latter is what is happening with landlords and building restrictions.
You definitely had better foresight than me then! I wrote off a lot of the "your purchases might get yoinked" talk at the time as "it would never happen in reality", but have had this happen to ebooks I've bought.

This shows that there is non zero fraud enforcement.

> Why pretend to be smart and play it safe? True understanding is rare and hard-won, so why claim it before you are sure of it? Isn't it more advantageous to embrace your stupidity/ignorance and be underestimated?

I wish this were true, and I do think this mindset would be optimal if everyone adopted it. Unfortunately, real workplaces are filled with people who are confident and wrong. As a leader, if your intuition is more accurate than your peers and you care about objective success, it’s important to assert yourself.
The problem is if you want lower bureaucracy you have to change laws and not fire people.

Not every excessive process is the result of legislation. Some of these processes arise gradually and unnecessarily, because, in an organization without competition, there's no pressure to be efficient (i.e. focus on increasing output).

In one of my past job, for some reasons I was the only one diving into legacy 12+ years old code.

The other members kept producing new code and debugging new code.

Disregarding of whether it's fair or not, there was a kind of balance that kept the boat floating.

I left since then and it wouldn't surprise me if the legacy was being rewritten from scratch (and over-engineered).
Senior engineers need a better grasp of boolean logic than this.

I think the lack of reaction is plausible: shock/surprise and a naturally-calm demeanor. There's no sense in shouting if there's no one to hear you. He only starts shouting when his son is visible.

If it were me, I probably would have quietly said "fu.." under my breath while I just sat there either waiting for debris to pop up or try not to get eaten myself.
The flagged subthread doing some whataboutery with drone strikes actually has a point that is relevant here; the War on Terror provided an erosion of rule of law, both in terms of normalized militarisation of society and in keeping places like Guantanamo Bay (US territory where US law basically doesn't apply) open.

The threatened immigration sweeps and the talk of removing birthright citizenship tie into this. If the troops are reluctant to be deployed against US citizens, simply make the people you want to deploy them against not US citizens any more.
It extremely depends on the target CPU. Some CPUs do have instructions that operate on RAM directly, no register required.

However, the tradeoff is that RAM is almost always 2-4 times slower than writing to registers. Most of the time it's more efficient to copy from RAM to a register and back.

Most CPUs are designed to operate on registers, but it's not too uncommon to see simple things like incrementing a variable in RAM without an intermediate copy. There might be more, I don't know a lot about x86

I think you're mistaken, the Kindle is also Linux based and you can also do anything the cpu/display permits on a jailbroken Kindle. Most people install alternative reader software that supports more formats like epub, but you can do whatever. For a while I used an old Kindle as a "monitor" (connected over ssh) for a server that was otherwise headless. Obviously you can't do anything that moves too fast, but it was nice for doing simple maintenance & system monitoring tasks.

The fact that many countries have solved it seems to indicate that you are wrong.
This is just another justification for discrimination. You can be sure that everyone that discriminates has their own reasoning.

I doubt that studies in this field are less biased for that matter but they certainly lack hard substantial data.

You yourself are free to take a step back for someone you deem disadvantaged. If you demand this from others, you are just as plainly discriminating. I would argue that you overstep your bounds.
It's also a kind of "income inequality" that those who are "disadvantaged" most from it can avoid very easily, by voting with their feet. But you don't see very many people moving from the highest-income cities in the U.S. to places like Appalachia, or for that matter to the poorest places in Mexico. People tend to do the exact opposite, funnily enough.
I'd be curious to see a "high-level structured assembly language" that gives the programmer actual control over things like register allocations, in a more systematic way than C's attempt. You might say "optimizers will do a better job", and you're right, but what I want to see is a language that isn't designed to fed into an optimizing backend at all, but turned into machine code via simple, local transformations that a programmer can reliably predict. In other words, as high-level systems languages like C lean more and more heavily on optimizing backends and move away from being "portable assembly", I think that opens up a conceptual space somewhere below C yet still above assembly.

It's an incredibly bare-bones analytics tracker, but it's free and cloud-hosted which were the two things I was most looking for in an alternative to GA.

I run a website that gets about ~300k pageviews/month. Vercel was eating my wallet alive with their analytics offering. All I wanted with my tracker was to feel motivated by knowing that traffic was going up and to the right. I didn't want to pay hundreds a month for that and I didn't want to manage my own server just to have analytics. Goatcounter addressed my needs well!
