Seemed a decent if over-long article to explain something I needed to know about feedback theory. Summary: to do x you may have to do, or briefly get, anti-x which you need to be aware of and account for. Key sentence where the importance c

Just task switching on a CPU should not possibly be able to do that, so sounds like it's thrashing[1], would kind of fit except that with SSDs it should recover much faster than HDD. But I'd certainly put it more on IO than cpu. [

Does this kind of header compression mean anything of value, am asking seriously. I'm not an HTTP person but typically I'd expect the body to dwarf the header, and if you are doing many small requests such that the header is large

I too am getting tired of this shite. This disease afflicts corporate product descriptions to the point I just use wikipedia to get information on WTF £££expensive product does, and it's now metastasizing to free software. "Apache

You've compared one use of energy to another and found them about the same. Fair enough, but that's an utterly different issue to whether it "isn't all that much", which you have not justified. Not an attack on your

How is the bitstring 'embedded' in the n-cube? It must be a linearisation from a 1-dimensional string to vertices of the n-dimensional object but...? What does 'embedded' even mean, mathematically. Edit: neighbouring ver

In still air surely so, where people are I guess there's a lot of convection.

I get creative, but comprehensibility eludes me. To some https://www.cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/papers/huang.pdf may be obvious in its statements and steps and I guess that, aside from having the necessary background

so "1% in next 1000"? No, I still don't get you, I mean that figure's blatant nonsense, it would just about have guaranteed a hit in the past million years (0.99 ^ 1,000 = chance of not being hit ~= 4.3E-5). from wiki &q

I misunderstood you, apologies, point taken. But not agreed with. 'Asteroid sometime' != 'climate change happening now'. So degree is not in size but likelihood. Also climate change is independent of phat rock from space

Isn't my "cheap home machine" equivalent to your "most consumer and desktop computers"? As for embedded, I'd be surprised if there's ECC at all, never mind on the bus (with the exception of high reliabilit

A grazed knee is bad, being mashed in a pileup is bad. There are degrees of badness, which seems something you have ignored when asking "Maybe all existential risks are bad?" Perhaps I misunderstood you?

Well that burst length looks like it's going to be good for bandwidth. Now, about DRAM latency... perhaps DDR6 can have an I WANTZ IT NAO signal.

Better distract ourselves with the 'one day it will happen' rather than deal with what's on our doorstep now which we are causing and we can control, but won't. https://explosm.net/comics/the-future#

I think it's an option, but I admit not one I was aware of. AFAIK the MP is a framework, and this is an option not the only way... but still, you're again! I'll do some reading, thanks.

I don't have time to go over the thread - conservative seems dodgy. I'll have to take your word for it. As for your main point, much to my surprise, you're right although I don't understand how, it doesn't match wha

That looks like the boehm GC, but Boehm is conservative. In no way is the Boehm GC that I'm aware of is generational or incremental (though it is mark-sweep). Start of long thread: https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html

The MPS wasn't 'conservative' in any way IIRC, it was precise? Are we talking different terminologies perhaps? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boehm_garbage_collector https://en.wikipedia.org&#x
