  1. Re:but it's all bullshit on Solid-State Battery Startup Claims Breakthrough For Electric Vehicles (electrek.co) · · Score: 1

    A fine hypothesis, except that so far the newer (2016) batteries degraded faster than the old (2011) ones. By your logic they should have had more room for quality in 2016 than they did in 2011. I'm interested to see what they actually come up with in 2019.

    There must be some governmental funding behind this "Vector Institute". I've never heard of such BS.

    Maybe the Vector Institute is just a glitch in the Matrix.

    Or the manufacturer would just pocket the savings, as they did with omitting measures preventing battery degradation on the Leaf.

    LEA is not going to help you much in a small fixed-size n-body kernel. That's going to be mostly unrolled AVX code.

  6. On the average, possibly. But basic human needs are still rather fixed and the fundamental effort necessary to meet them has been decreasing for quite some time.

    "Princeton Pro-Life is a student-run organization"

    That should be enough of a warning to everyone.

    "...the thousands pre-born people aborted every day, some of whom would have been here at Princeton with us now, had they been allowed to live."

    Oh, fuck off. Without abortions, their numbers would be almost exactly the same. And "pre-born"? I guess those students must be pre-smart! :-p

    Yeah, that's exactly the case of humans again trying to draw neat lines where there aren't any. Life doesn't "begin", it simply continues in a very fuzzy way that confuses a lot of people.

    There's scientific consensus that life begins at conception? It was my understanding that the scientific consensus was that life had been here for billions of years and propagated through germ lines.

    I did, for 6502, 8051 and 8086. And I've seen GCC's output.

  15. This can be used as a baseline for climate change study.

    Or just general Earth Sciences research. Even without climate chance concerns, Antarctica can be hardly assumed to be frozen in time (pun not intended).

    I'm pretty sure you get another 3x penalty for not writing in assembly, too. So this is how C++ fans think.

    It really is and you blathering about what you don't know does not change that fact. (Python 14 minutes vs C++ 8..24 seconds for N-Body simulation.)

    I've just run it on my machine. C++: 2.3 seconds, Python: 22 seconds. That's for straightforward mathy Python against C++ code with vector instrinsics. Concerning C++ code without manual vectorization, it's 4 seconds against 22. Not terribly bad, I'd say. Not to mention that this isn't the kind of code that would be typical for a larger application.

  22. He meant an OS kernel, obviously. Otherwise also known as monitor, supervisor, core, nucleus...

    Notably, the UI, shell, document format, organization structure, and IDE are all one and the same. Your shell is a text editor where you can embed drawings and link them to other documents, and your documents can be compiled and run with a built-in JIT compiler that also provides its own debug environment.

    So nothing new then?

    So... C, the language the python interpreter is written in [wikipedia.org] then?

    Since the faster interpreter is written in Python anyway, I don't think it makes sense for the language to be associated with C.

    I liked the idea of having a system compiler fast enough to serve as a JIT-scripting engine.
