The proprietary tools were only an issue for people who needed the timeline. Games-wise, Both Actionscript 2 and 3 were perfectly usable without Flash. The MTASC compiler was a massive game-changer, and then Adobe released the AS3 compiler themselves, and certainly when I was at a consultancy working on a massive, expensive game, none of us were authoring anything in Flash. Even the designers and artists simply provided image assets.

A few years later, I did use Flash to teach students interactivity (in 2016, I was wondering why myself, but hey, university courses are hardly up-to-date) but there was little other reason to use it.

Today, I still rate AS3 and if there was an LLVM project to output, I don't know, WASM, or similar, I'd try it. Oh, there are?

- https://ruffle.rs/

Of course, MTASC wunderkind Nicolas Cannasse went off to create https://haxe.org/, which was used quite well on Smart TVs and the like for a while, still used in games. Maybe we already have the answer, but the web is too boring for this stuff.

Begrudgingly Choosing CBOR over MessagePack
Also, the BSDs were emerging around the same time, in particular 386BSD [1]. Linus was famously quoted as saying that if it had been available in the early days, he would probably never have made Linux [2].

The first release of 386BSD was in 1992, so we are talking about a short time window of 1-2 years here. And of course FreeBSD and NetBSD forked from it shortly after that.

It's safe to assume that sleep is the default mode of living, since it predated being awake. That one cell living happily in the ocean long time ago probably slept 24/7.
I'm seeing reasonably clean use of function pointers without the usual tangle of opaque macros. This kind of pattern easily turns into a mess if you get too clever with it, but I quite like what I'm seeing here.

If the bills are indeed not paid and the reason I don't see why it's "inexcusable". As long as you're not claiming they can't pay them or haven't paid them out of malice without proof you're just being truthful.

There are many of these tools but i don't like to think of these things like dotfiles.
What is a dotfile? A `.something` file in my home dir? is /etc/environment a dotfile? No, but i wan't to manage it still. What about Librewolf policies.json in /usr/lib64/librewolf/policies or similar. It's not a dotfile either.
For some tools, i need some other tools to exist already in path.
What about zsh where i want to sync 3 git repos for syntax highlighting and other scripts?
Also what about secrets, maybe i want some encrypted stuff so i need a solution for that also.

Ansible is the best for these things, no symlinks needed, just configure what you want to exist and where and you can template configs or copy them or use some modules like `git_config` to then generate that ini file etc. Ansible vault also handles encryption easily so i can manage ssh keys, passwords...

It seems a much more realistic worry is that silicon valley folk offer them big money to relocate to the US.
Europe has its own industry, but countries have made sure that they buy a significant amount of weapons from the US to keep them happy. That limits the size of the EU industry.

There have been many stories of EU countries choosing the American alternative, even if it was more expensive. In return, they expected some goodwill from US.

So when you read stories about EU countries not spending enough, consider that a large part of what they do spend goes to the US to appease them.

Now, US is changing the expectations

Now how much exactly did you take?
It doesn't really matter if the two "halves" are issued in sequence or in parallel¹; either way they use 2 "slots" of execution which are therefore not available for other use — whether that other use be parallel issue, OOE or HT². To my knowledge, AVX512 code tends to be "concentrated", there's generally not a lot of non-AVX512 code mixed in that would lead to a more even spread on resources. If that were the case, the 2-slot approach would be less visible, but that's not really in the nature of SIMD code paths.

But at the same time, 8×256bit units would be better than 4×512, as the former would allow more thruput with non-AVX512 code. But that costs other resources (and would probably also limit achievable clocks since increasing complexity generally strains timing…) 3 or 4 units seems to be what Intel & AMD engineers decided to be best in tradeoffs. But all the more notable then that Zen4→Zen5 is not only a 256→512 width change but also a 3→4 unit increase³, even if the added unit is "only" a FADD one.

(I guess this is what you've been trying to argue all along. It hasn't been very clear. I'm not sure why you brought up load/store widths to begin with, and arguing "AMD didn't have a narrower datapath" isn't quite productive when the point seems to be "Intel had the same narrower datapath"?)

¹ the latency difference should be minor in context of existing pipeline depth, but of course a latency difference exists. As you note it seems not very easy to measure.

² HT is probably the least important there, though I'd also assume there are quite a few AVX512 workloads that can in fact load all cores and threads of a CPU.

³ wikipedia claims this, I'm finding conflicting information on how many pipes Zen4 had (3 or 4). [Ed.: this might be an error on wikipedia. ref. https://www.phoronix.com/image-viewer.php?id=amd-zen-5-core&... ]

> The first Linux distribution was also started in 1992: Softlanding Linux System or SLS. The next year, SLS morphed into Slackware, which inspired Ian Murdock to start Debian in 1993, in order to explore a more community-based development structure.

I’d imagine it wouldn’t be hard to have a kind of hybrid method. The developer comments the code for a reason, and ai can expound on that comment if necessary.

Maaan, you reminded me of a LSD trip where my mind felt kind of shattered, in the sense that there were several parts of my brain with different levels of self-conciousness.

It was an incredible experience. I had the "talking part" trying to describe what it was perceiving, while the other parts were mostly surprised they were actually "found." I remember a part was a "major player" like the talking one, but it couldn't express things in words. I remember also a part that focused on fear and a sense of urgency. Wild stuff.

I got out of the trip reconsidering a lot of things about myself. It made me be less focused on my obsessions, and pay more attention to my needs. It is sad I forget so many things from trips like this.
Edit: Dayton, not Columbus.

And as it's slightly on topic, a brief humorous story. At least one of the two annual Timonium shows was sponsored by the local Ham Radio (amateur radio) club. This was common because (I suppose) the radio clubs were typically bigger and more organized than the computer clubs. When I was in my 20's it was a rite of passage for some of my friends to get their Ham Radio license.

Fast forward to around 2007 and my sister and I are driving to Phoenixville in eastern Pennsylvania for Blobfest. Getting off topic, but it's an annual celebration of the classic 1958 sci-fi/horror film The Blob.

On the way back I notice a sign on the side of the road that reads "Ham Fest Today". I go a little crazy, telling my sister, "Turn there! Turn there!! I have to see this!!!" We turn and it's a bust. The show was the previous weekend and somebody forgot to take down the sign.

We get back on the road. About a minute later she turns to me, completely innocently and wide-eyed, saying, "I had NO IDEA how much you liked ham!"
BAM! BONK! POW! BLAP!

Well, exactly. I don't know if the complexity was worth it or not because I'm not an expert.

For comparison there were apparently 30 NK-15 engines on the first stage of the N1. (from Wikipedia of course)

What I did read somewhere was that they had a production line and they filmed it all so they could see what happened to any engine during production and go back to the recordings if something went wrong with it.

I'm not a Russophile at all, but I suspect that there were clever people who solved problems and others quietly took note of it.
On the other hand, the site was one of the most comfortable to read, for me, on my phone, with my eyesight. I didn’t have to zoom + pan + scan as much as usual.
> I have only seen it pop-up once- for a cert that I had just issued a second prior. The cert was logged properly and the page loaded another second later.

Hmm. Possibly a timing issue? It is conventional to slightly "back date" certificates so that they claim to have been issued an hour ago, as obviously if users forgot to adjust a PC for the clocks changing your site should still work & it was seen as easier to just back date the certificates. However for SCTs because the log has a Maximum Merge Delay conventionally set to 24 hours - so such back dating gives you 1 hour less to fix any technical problems - if you miss that 24 hour deadline you're out and must start over. So we do not back date SCTs.

Thus if your system had the time slightly wrong (say, off by 10 seconds) but had Transparency checks enabled I can imagine it would reject a freshly issued cert because the certificate says it was issued almost an hour ago but the SCTs are in the near future.

Top talent, whom the government advices to not to go to the states aren’t living in the slums, or areas where there’s nothingness. They don’t live like in Ordos or something.

Meta, OpenAI employees aren’t living in Bakersfield. Google NY employees aren’t living in Clifton or something. Very dumb comparisons, obviously, but when you have a good comp in China, your quality of life is just great. There just isn’t that much of a reason to move.

Another note, it's correct that some people want to live in the states. But there's a nuance. From my personal observations, a good chunk of them don't want to live anywhere in the US, but they want the American passport/green card. It's just a hedge for the worst case scenario and to have an escape route if something bad happens. Like life in Tokyo is pretty decent if you're in top percentiles. But most people understand problems (like demographics), however until it becomes an actual issue, it's still preferable to live here.
> Now, I'm sure a sufficiently large Markov chain can simulate an LLM but the exponentials involved here would make the number of atoms in the universe a small number.

No, LLMs are a Markov chain. Our brain, and other mammalian brains, have feedback, strange loops, that a Markov chain doesn't. In order to reach reasoning, we need to have some loops. In that way, RNNs where much more on the right track towards achieving intelligence than the current architecture.

And that's why Georgism exists! You can't offshore a plot of land.

If you've really managed to generate trillions in profit without using any, including indirectly (mining, showrooms, etc), fair enough. If your economic model is quite literally rent seeking, you can fuck off and give all those proceeds to whatever government ensures that land is not overrun by whatever raiders are historically a problem in your area. If you work for a living, you should be able to spend your earnings on a fancy apartment if you wish, and if a landlord wishes to make one instead of just sitting on land, they keep the profits from that too.

W.r.t. making people dependent on big pharma:

I have multiple allergies and although the drugs I take have side effects, I would not function without them ~8-10 months of the year (where I live, the pollen season is expanding with global warming).

I am somewhat dependent on big pharma for quality of life, but the alternative is strictly much worse for me.

I know it is a more mature type of drug, but the automatic kneejerk reactions against “Big Pharma” is unwarranted IMO.

Does look like some ROMs support it though. Any recommendations for something as close to Graphene as I could get on it?

I'm not sure what you mean. For past 40 years making app run on Windows, Linux, Mac, and now iOS and Android has been a pain unless you wrote a webapp. Or shipped it in a container (Electron).

I just don't see a way around the monoculture in web browsers.

Also why do I have 300 toolbars).

language learning also works fine without emotionality faking, and is depending more on authentic speech recognition (e.g. you want the model to notice if you mispronounce important words, not gloss over it and just continue babble as otherwise this will bite you in the ass in the real world) as well as the system's overall specific ability to generate a personal learning curriculum.
