AI Overview That's Not Normal–the Performance of Odd Floats | Random ... Yes, right-shifting the mantissa (significand) of a smaller number to match a larger exponent during IEEE 754 operations (like addition) causes significant accuracy loss. As the smaller number's bits are shifted right, low-order bits are lost, often leading to precision degradation or truncation. Game Development Stack Exchange Game Development Stack Exchange +3 Key Aspects of This Issue: Significand Shifting: ... Magnitude Disparity: ... Absolute vs. Relative Loss: ... Accumulation: ... This phenomenon is a primary reason why floating-point arithmetic is approximate, as IEEE 754 dictates a finite number of bits.

AI Overview Yes, floating-point addition and subtraction require the exponents of both numbers to be equal before their mantissas (significands) can be added or subtracted. If the exponents differ, the mantissa of the number with the smaller exponent is shifted right until its exponent matches the larger one. YouTube YouTube +4 Key points on this process: Alignment: The smaller number's exponent is increased to match the larger exponent to prevent losing significant bits. Mantissa Adjustment: As the exponent increases, the mantissa is shifted to the right. ... This process is necessary to ensure that digits of corresponding place values are aligned before performing arithmetic.

AI Overview People still use other Linux distributions despite Ubuntu’s popularity because of personal preferences for different desktop environments (e.g., KDE), the need for specific, newer software (Fedora), or a desire for more lightweight, "bloat-free" systems (Arch, MX Linux). Others prefer community-driven, non-commercial alternatives like Debian or want more customization control. Quora Quora +5 Here is a breakdown of why other distributions are used: The perception of Linux as a "madhouse" stems from its chaotic, decentralized, and intensely debated open-source development, but it is not labeled as such because the model works. Linus Torvalds and others view this, along with strict code standards, as a necessary, pragmatic approach that achieves high-performance results. Key reasons this "madhouse" is not admitted as a failure include: ... Therefore, the "madhouse" aspect is considered a feature of its, often, chaotic, community-driven, approach, not a flaw, by those who, for, the most part, are, more, focused, on, technical, results, than, in, following, a, traditional, development, structure. ____ Good software knows when to stop (writizzy.com).

Python as an Interpreted Language Execution Model: When you run a Python program using the standard CPython interpreter, the source code i s first compiled into an intermediate form called bytecode at runtime, which is then executed by the Python virtual machine. This is different from the traditional compilation process of C/C++. Dynamic Nature: Python uses dynamic typing, meaning variables do not need to be declared with a specific data type beforehand, and their types can change during execution. This flexibility comes at the cost of performance, as the interpreter must perform type checks and lookups at runtime. Ntietz Ntietz +4 Speed Comparison with GCC C/C++ Code Compilation: C and C++ code is compiled directly into native machine code before execution, a process that allows the compiler (like GCC) to perform extensive optimizations for the specific hardware architecture. The resulting executable runs much closer to the hardware, requiring fewer runtime resources. erformance Difference: For CPU-intensive tasks, pure Python can be anywhere from 10 to over 100 times slower than optimized C++ code. Some specific benchmarks have shown C++ to be hundreds or even a thousand times faster for simple, computation-heavy loops. Real-world Use: In practice, performance bottlenecks in Python are often mitigated by using highly optimized libraries (like NumPy or pandas) where the computationally intensive parts are written in C or C++. Python the n acts as a "glue" language to orchestrate these fast, low-level components. does the x86 ISA have too many rarely-used watt-consuming instrucdtiions? Yes, the x86 Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) carries a significant amount of legacy, rarely-used, and complex instructions that contribute to power consumption, a phenomenon often described as "bloat" resulting from over 40 years of backward compatibility. While modern x86 processors mitigate this through advanced microarchitecture (translating complex instructions into micro-ops), the sheer volume of legacy instructions makes the decoding process less efficient compared to pure RISC architectures, consuming more die area and power. ACM Digital Library ACM Digital Library +4 Key Aspects of x86 Instruction Bloat: Decades of Accumulation: ... "Bloated" ISA: Mitigation and Counterarguments: Micro-op Cache: ... ... Power Consumption Breakdown: ... Variable Length Encoding: ... Software Emulation Idea: While the "unused instruction" argument is valid regarding the complexity of the frontend (decoder), the overall power disadvantage of x86 compared to ARM is sometimes overstated, as both architectures can be optimized to be competitive in energy efficiency. ____ Oracle Plans Thousands of Job Cuts in F ace of AI Cash Crunch.

Cryptography Stack Exchange Cryptography Stack Exchange +2 Key Aspects of the Math: is attifical intelligence opposite real stupidity? AI Overview While artificial intelligence (AI) is often marketed as the opposite of human ignorance, it is not strictly the opposite of "real stupidity." In fact, AI is frequently described as having its own form of "artificial stupidity" (or "artificial foolishness"), often resulting in authoritative-sounding errors, or hallucinations. Here is a breakdown of the relationship between AI and real (natural) stupidity based on current perspectives: 1. AI is Not Always "Anti-Stupid" ... 2. The Case for "Natural Stupidity" ... Key Differences Human Stupidity: Often driven by ego, bias, and refusal to learn from mistakes. Artificial "Stupidity": Often stems from a lack of context, over-reliance on training data, and inability to understand edge cases.

Fridnesday Febuary 27 17:44 ____ ____ how is cloud computing involved in circular buying?" AI Overview Approximately five entire galaxies cross the threshold from "reachable" to "unreachable" each year due to In the context of the current AI boom, cloud computing is central to "circular buying" (often called circular financing or vendor financing), where technology companies, chipmakers, and cloud providers invest in each other and use those funds to buy products from one another in a self-reinforcing loop. Cloud computing serves as the primary mechanism for this cycle by acting as both the service being purchased and the platform enabling the financial feedback loop. YouTube YouTube +4 Key Roles of Cloud Computing in Circular Buying Closed-Loop Financing (Vendor Financing): Cloud providers (e.g., Microsoft, Amazon, Google) and chipmakers (e.g., Nvidia) invest in AI startups (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic). The startups then use that same capital to purchase high-end GPU hardware and cloud infrastructure, often from the original investors. Revenue Generation and Valuation Inflation: The cash invested by a cloud provider returns to them as revenue for cloud services (e.g., Azure or AWS) and hardware. This allows companies to book massive revenue, which in turn boosts their stock prices. Long-Term Capacity Commitments: Circular deals often involve long-term contracts where AI companies commit to buying billions in cloud capacity, ensuring steady revenue for cloud providers. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Enabling Scaling: Startups use rented cloud capacity to train models, allowing them to scale quickly without upfront capital, which is funded by the investments from the providers themselves. Fortune Fortune +6 Examples of Circular Cloud Ecosystems Microsoft-OpenAI-Nvidia: Microsoft invests in OpenAI, which uses those funds to purchase Azure cloud services and Nvidia GPUs. Nvidia also invests in OpenAI, creating a tighter loop. Nvidia-CoreWeave-OpenAI: Nvidia owns a stake in cloud provider CoreWeave and guarantees to purchase its unsold capacity. CoreWeave then uses Nvidia chips to provide cloud services to companies like OpenAI. Amazon-Anthropic: Amazon invests in AI startup Anthropic, which in turn signs long-term agreements to use Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its primary cloud provider Why This is Considered "Circular" Critics refer to this ecosystem as a "financial ouroboros" (a snake eating its own tail) because the same capital flows through interconnected parties, generating revenue at each point. While this drives rapid innovation and growth, it also raises concerns about artificial demand and the creation of an AI bubble. ____ Bigger, Faster, Better: The ESP32-P4-WIFI6 HMI is Here. David Johnson-Davies Brings Espressif's Powerful ESP32-P4 to the Feather Form Factor. which nanocomputer iSA are implemented with one clock cycle per instruction? AI Overview Based on research into nanotechnologies and computer architectures, the following types of, or approaches to, nanocomputer ISAs are designed to be implemented with one clock cycle per instruction (CPI=1): Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) Architectures: QCA, specifically when used in "processing-in-wire" or "clocked QCA" designs, acts as a shift register. The signal propagation through these circuits, often divided into four clocking zones, allows for single-cycle execution of operations. Ternary QCA (TQCA) Circuits: Ternary logic-based TQCA technologies have been designed to operate with a one-clock-cycle delay for specific functions, such as ternary decoders, while managing lower power consumption and higher frequency than CMOS alternatives. Simple Single-Cycle Nanoscale Electronic Circuits: Similar to traditional single-cycle processor design (e.g., MIPS), nano-scale Electronic Nanocomputers using carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) or other molecular electronics can implement a single-cycle datapath. In this microarchitecture, all instructions are completed within one long clock cycle, which is determined by the slowest instruction (usually memory access). Delay-Based Processing-in-Wire: This approach allows for arithmetic operations (like addition) to be completed as the signal passes through a specific length of wire. YouTube YouTube +5 These implementations often favor Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) principles, using few, simple instructions to ensure they can be completed within a single clock cycle, particularly in emerging, less complex nano-architectures. do any x86 ISA execute instructions in one per clock cycle? AI Overview Yes, modern x86 processors can execute one or more instructions per clock cycle, despite being a Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) architecture. While early processors required multiple cycles per instruction, modern, superscalar x86 CPUs (Intel Core, AMD Ryzen) use pipelining, out-of-order execution, and multiple execution units to achieve a high Instructions Per Cycle (IPC) rate. Instruction Latency vs. Throughput: Many common integer instructions (e.g., ADD, MOV) have a 1-cycle latency (the time it takes to finish) and a throughput of 1 or more per cycle. Superscalar Execution: Modern x86 CPUs can dispatch multiple instructions to different execution units simultaneously in a single cycle. Micro-ops ($\mu$ops): Complex x86 instructions are broken down into simpler, RISC-like micro-ops, which can then be executed in one cycle. Limitations: While many instructions can run in 1 cycle, others (like complex arithmetic or memory-intensive operations) can take multiple cycles. Chips and Cheese Chips and Cheese +4 While a single instruction might take multiple cycles to pass through the entire pipeline (fetch, decode, execute, writeback), the processor can complete one (or more) instructions every cycle, achieving an effective CPI (cycles per instruction) of 1 or less. ____ Jack Dorsey just laid off 40% of staff.

AI Overview Whether Android is "unnecessarily" obfuscated and complicated depends largely on whether you are looking at it from the perspective of a user, a security researcher, or an app developer. Code Obfuscation (making code unreadable to humans) is generally considered a necessary security measure rather than an unnecessary complication, as it protects apps from being easily reverse-engineered, cloned, or tampered with. However, this security measure does hinder security analysis and is often used by malicious apps to hide their true intent. ScienceDirect.com ScienceDirect.com +4 ... Conclusion: Android is not unnecessarily obfuscated—the security risks of not doing so are too high. However, the development platform is frequently considered overly complicated and difficult for new developers to learn.

Thursdnesday Febuary 26 15:58 ____ are Nvidia, Meta and AMD involved in circular buying to inflate ia earnings? AI Overview Yes, there is significant scrutiny and debate among analysts regarding "circular" investing, or "circular financing," involving Nvidia, Meta, AMD, and other major AI players (such as OpenAI, CoreWeave, and Microsoft). These transactions, described by some as "vendor financing" or "hot potato" passing of capital, involve tech giants investing in each other, or in startups, which then use that same capital to purchase AI hardware and cloud capacity from the original investors, creating a "loop" that boosts revenue figures for companies like Nvidia and AMD. CTech CTech +2 Key Aspects of the Alleged Circular Buying: Nvidia-OpenAI-CoreWeave Loop: Nvidia has committed to investing heavily in AI firms like OpenAI (up to $100 billion in potential, though modified). These firms then use that funding to buy Nvidia GPUs and use services from AI cloud provider CoreWeave, in which Nvidia is also a major investor. "Cloud" and "AI" Interdependence: Hyperscalers (Meta, Microsoft, Amazon) invest in AI startups, and in turn, those startups spend heavily on the hyperscalers' cloud services to train models, creating a closed-loop system that drives, and potentially inflates, reported revenues. Why Concerns Exist: Analysts argue that these deals, while not inherently illegal, can distort the reality of true market demand for AI chips and infrastructure. If the revenue growth in the AI sector is driven primarily by this circular flow of capital rather than by independent, profitable, real-world applications, it could resemble a bubble, similar to the telecommunications infrastructure bubble of the late 1990s.

AI Overview Yes, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt (2001–2011) has frequently stated that electricity is the primary bottleneck for the future of AI, moving beyond just being a "Google problem" to a broader energy infrastructure crisis. He has recently argued that the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and data centers is outpacing the U.S. power grid, famously declaring that "AI's natural limit is electricity, not chips". ... Schmidt's remarks highlight that the insatiable energy demands of AI data centers, which require 24/7 power and intensive cooling, are forcing a massive reevaluation of energy grid capacity. Key points from his recent comments (as of early 2026): Is "Modern software", in fact, late 1960s software designed for small meories, low megabyte disks running o high_watt epesnive computers used for OS360 and Unix but now we are in a world of gigabyte/terabyte memories, inexpensive nano computers, some of whuch run a 32 bit ISA at up to 1 GHZ? AI Overview The premise that modern software is fundamentally 1960s-era code running on modern hardware is a mix of accurate, deep-seated architectural legacy and oversimplified generalization. While many core concepts, programming languages, and operating system philosophies (especially Unix) originated in the late 1960s and early 1970s—when memory was measured in kilobytes and disks were tiny—modern software is not, in fact, the same code. Here is a breakdown of how 1960s constraints still shape today's software, contrasted with current hardware capabilities. ... Conclusion: Modern software is built upon a foundation of 1960s design philosophy (especially Unix), but the implementation is vastly different. While we still use "small memory" design patterns, modern applications often use them as a "starting point" for adding layers of abstraction that consume massive amounts of modern computing resources, rather than optimizing for efficiency. In short: The philosophy is 1960s; the complexity is 2020s. Investors Dump Microsoft Shares Despite Largest Earnings Beat in Company History.

AI Overview Yes, today’s major cloud giants—Alphabet (Google), Amazon (AWS), Microsoft, and Meta—are increasingly mimicking IBM’s 1960s strategy of vertical integration by designing their own custom silicon, servers, and networking hardware to power their core cloud and AI products. Just as IBM developed its proprietary System/360 architecture in the 1960s to control the entire technology stack, these modern "hyperscalers" are developing in-house components to optimize performance, reduce dependence on third-party suppliers like Nvidia, and improve energy efficiency. 1960s vs. Today: The Parallel Strategies 1960s IBM ("Big Blue"): Introduced the System/360, a comprehensive ecosystem of proprietary hardware, software, and services that locked customers into their ecosystem. 2020s Cloud Giants: Developing custom AI chips (ASICs), networking gear, and data center hardware to create "walled gardens" optimized for specific workloads like training large language models. Key Components Cloud Giants are Making AI Accelerators/Chips: Google has Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), Amazon has Trainium and Inferentia chips, and Microsoft introduced the Maia 100/200 AI chips. Networking Gear: Hyperscalers are creating custom network switches and interface cards to handle massive data throughput. Custom Processors: Companies like Amazon are designing ARM-based server chips (Graviton) to reduce reliance on Intel and AMD. Data Center Infrastructure: Meta (META) and others design their own server racks and power systems to maximize efficiency. Drivers of the "New IBM" Strategy The AI Boom & Cost Control: As AI models require intense computational power, designing custom silicon (like Google's TPU) allows companies to run workloads more cheaply and efficiently than relying solely on high-priced third-party GPUs. Supply Chain Control: By designing their own components, cloud providers reduce their vulnerability to hardware shortages and vendor lock-in. Performance Optimization: Tailoring hardware specifically for their software stack results in better, faster performance for cloud services.

Android is developed by the Open Handset Alliance, led by Google. can android source code be disassembled into platform machine code? AI Overview Yes, Android source code, including compiled apps (APKs), can be disassembled or decompiled into intermediate representation (Smali/bytecode) or disassembled into platform machine code (ARM, x86) using tools like APKTool, JADX, or Android-Disassembler. This process allows for analyzing, debugging, or modifying the code, though it is usually referred to as reverse engineering. Key details regarding Android code disassembly: Methodology: Android apps (APKs) contain classes.dex files which are disassembled into Smali code (an assembly-like format) using tools like APKTool, or converted back to readable Java code with JADX. Native Code (.so files): Native C/C++ code, often found in .so files, can be disassembled into machine code (e.g., ARM) using tools like Ghidra, IDA Pro, or Android-Disassembler on GitHub. Modification: Once disassembled into Smali or analyzed via machine code, the code can be modified and recompiled. Limitations: While you can get close to the original source code, decompiled code is rarely identical to the original; it is often less readable, similar to a book with removed punctuation and reordered content.

Russian-state hackers pounce. ____ AI Overview The placement of the Most Significant Bit (MSB) on the far left of a byte is primarily a result of adhering to standard mathematical positional notation, similar to how we write decimal numbers (where the hundreds place is to the left of the tens place). While it may seem counter-intuitive to some "little-endian" storage conventions, this MSB-left convention is nearly universal for bits, unlike the varying byte-order conventions (big-endian/little-endian) used in memory. Here is why the MSB is on the far left: Mathematical Convention: ... Sign-Bit Consistency: ,,, Bit-Shifting Alignment: ... Historical Development: ... Addressing the Consistency Question: ... The "left-to-right" convention applies to both the ordering of bits inside a byte and the convention of writing memory addresses (lowest at top/left, highest at bottom/right). Thus, placing the MSB on the left is actually perfectly consistent with storing the MSB of a larger number at the lowest memory address. ___ The ‘weird’ things that happened when Clickhouse replaced C++ with Rust.

Sunday January 11 13:56 ___ are revest, shamir,] and adleman all of jewish faith? AI Overview Yes, Leonard Adleman and Adi Shamir are Jewish, while information on Ron Rivest's faith is less explicit in the provided sources. The three are the co-inventors of the RSA algorithm. More specifically: are rivest, shamir and adleman israelis? AI Overview No, only Adi Shamir is Israeli. Ronald Rivest and Leonard Adleman are Americans. ... The three scientists collaborated at MIT to invent the RSA encryption algorithm, a significant breakthrough in public-key cryptography, for which they shared the 2002 A.M. Turing Award. AI Overview The idea of the "best" crypto algorithm being one only you can decrypt while others think it's secure is the core principle of modern cryptography, but it relies on key management, not algorithm trickery; algorithms like AES or RSA are strong, but the security hinges on keeping the secret key private, making key secrecy paramount, not hiding the algorithm itself, which is often public for scrutiny. Why Public Algorithms (But Secret Keys) Work: ... In essence: The "best" algorithm is a well-vetted, public one (like AES or RSA) combined with a strong, secret key that only authorized parties possess. Hiding the algorithm while keeping the key secret is the f oundation of strong, modern encryption. AI Overview No, 8-bit instructions are generally less efficient for inverting binary matrices compared to 16, 32, or 64-bit instructions, especially for larger matrices. Larger instruction sets and data buses allow processors to handle more data in a single clock cycle, significantly speeding up complex computational tasks like matrix inversion. Why Larger Bit Widths are More Efficient ... In summary, for general-purpose computing and computationally intensive tasks like matrix inversion, l arger instruction sizes offer superior performance and efficiency due to enhanced processing power, memory handling, and specialized instruction sets. AI Overview Yes, the number of digits (bits) in the binary representation of an RSA modulus reveals its length in bits [1]. The length of a number in binary is simply the count of its binary digits, which is synonymous with its size in bits. An RSA modulus is a large positive integer, and like any integer, its bit length is determined by its binary representation. For example, a 2048-bit modulus will have a binary representation that is exactly 2048 digits long (including the most significant '1' bit) [1]. AI Overview "LINPACK" is a software library and benchmark for dense floating-point linear algebra problems, not binary matrices. It is not designed to directly invert a 4096x4096 binary matrix (a matrix where all entries are 0 or 1, and arithmetic is done modulo 2). LINPACK and Matrix Inversion ... In summary, you would use a specialized library or custom code for binary matrices, not the standard LINPACK library. __ :) ___ A Much Faster Mac On A Microcontroller.

AI Overview Yes, multiplying two square, nonsingular matrices of the same size always results in a nonsingular matrix, because nonsingular matrices have full rank (rank \(n\) for an \(n\times n\) matrix) and the rank of a product of matrices doesn't increase, so the product will also have full rank. This means the determinant of the product is non-zero, and the product matrix is invertible.  Key Concepts: ... In simpler terms: A nonsingular matrix represents a transformation that doesn't collapse space (it's invertible), and applying two such transformations one after the other still results in a transformation that doesn't collapse space. In RSA encryption if the encryption and decryption exponent are contained in two 512 bit numbers, thn the modulus must be contained in a 1024 bit number? AI Overview No, the size of the exponents does not dictate the size of the modulus in RSA encryption, although the decryption exponent is typically around the same size as the modulus. The security of RSA depends on the difficulty of factoring the modulus, which is why the modulus must be significantly larger than the prime numbers from which it is derived. Here's a breakdown of the typical relationships: ... Prime Numbers (p and q): These primes are usually chosen to be roughly half the size of the modulus in bits. For a 1024-bit modulus, two 512-bit primes would be used. ... Therefore, if your encryption and decryption exponents are both 512 bits, the modulus would generally be larger (typically 512 bits if using smaller primes, which is now considered insecure, or more commonly 1024 bits or greater for modern security standards, in which case the decryption exponent d would be close to that size). The bit size of the exponents is a consequence of the modulus size (specifically \(\phi (N)\)), not the other way around.  what is the best way to inverft a nonsngular matrix? AI Overview Inverse of a Matrix - GeeksforGeeks The best way to invert a nonsingular matrix depends on the context, but generally involves Gaussian Elimination (Row Reduction) (augmenting with the identity matrix and reducing) for general cases, or efficient Decomposition Methods (LU, QR, SVD) (like LU Decomposition for speed or SVD for numerical stability with ill-conditioned matrices) for computational performance, as these are more stable and faster than calculating determinants or cofactors for l arge matrices. ___ New OAuth-Based Attack Let Hackers Bypass Microsoft Entra Authentication Flows to Steal Keys. \____ NewsSamsung phones are getting the long-delayed update this month. is Samsung phones are getting the long- delayed update this month going to fiz a23 photo download issue?

AI Overview The question seems to be incomplete or based on a misunderstanding of typical public-key encryption (RSA) parameters. The size of an RSA key usually refers to the modulus size (e.g., 4096 bits or 512 bytes). The public exponent is typically much smaller. Assuming the user meant the modulus is 512 bytes long, here is the solution for the private (decryption) key: Step 1: Understand the Key ... Answer:  Yes, the decryption exponent (private exponent \(d\)) in an RSA cryptosystem with a 512-byte modulus can be up to 512 bytes long, typically slightly less, making it a similar size to the modulus itself. The entire private key, when encoded into a file, is significantly larger due to the inclusion of additional precomputed values used for performance optimization.  ____ Pre-Compiled Headers Being Debated For LLVM/Clang To Speed-Up Build By 1.5~2x. ____ The creator of Claude Code's Claude setup (twitter.com/bcherny). what software system used to write Claude?

Monday December 29 17:13 ____ The AI Arms Race Is Cracking Open the Nuclear Fuel Cycle. ____ Only Known Copy Of UNIX V4 Recovered From Tape. what languages was UNIX V4 written in? AI Overview UNIX Version 4 (V4) was primarily written in the C programming language, with some parts remaining i n assembly language. This version, released in 1973, was a major turning point as it was the first Unix kernel to be largely written in a high-level language. The use of C, which was developed alongside Unix at Bell Labs by Dennis Ritchie, allowed the operating system to be more portable across different computer architectures, a revolutionary concept at the time. The remaining assembly code was mainly used for low-level, processor-specific tasks like initial booting and direct hardware interfacing, where C could not provide the necessary control or performance benefits. Earlier versions of Unix (V0 through V3) had been written almost entirely in assembly language, with some utilities in the B language. The development of the C language was specifically motivated by the need for a portable and efficient systems programming language to rewrite the operating system. are mulitasking OSes complex? Yes, multitasking operating systems (OSes) are inherently complex because they must manage multiple processes simultaneously, requiring sophisticated scheduling algorithms, memory management, and resource allocation to give users the illusion of true parallel execution, especially with preemptive multitasking, which is more advanced than simpler cooperative methods. This complexity involves the OS constantly switching between tasks (context switching), prioritizing critical functions, and handling potential resource conflicts, all while maintaining system responsiveness and stability. Key Complexities in Multitasking OSes: Cooperative vs. Preemptive Multitasking: who funded UNIX V4? UNIX V4 (Fourth Edition), released in 1973, wasn't "funded" in the modern commercial sense; it was an internal research project developed by AT&T Bell Labs, primarily by Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and others, using internal resources and equipment like the PDP-11 minicomputer. They initially secured a new computer by promising Bell Labs' patent department to build software for them, making it a passion project that evolved into a landmark operating system, funded by Bell Labs' research budget. Key Funding & Development Details: Developer: AT&T Bell Laboratories (Western Electric). Key People: Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Doug McIlroy, Joe Ossanna. ... In essence, UNIX V4 was an outgrowth of Bell Labs' research efforts, leveraging internal funding and resources rather than external. does intel 8088 have usal dta pointers and d use cycle stealing? The Intel 8088 microprocessor does not have integrated DMA pointers or a built-in DMA controller; instead, it uses a separate, external 8237 DMA controller chip. DMA operations in the 8088 system typically use the cycle stealing method. DMA Operation in the 8088 System ... In summary, the CPU itself doesn't manage the DMA pointers or the transfer process; it simply hands over the bus when requested, allowing the dedicated 8237 chip to perform the data movement efficiently using cycle stealing. *** Yes, the original IBM PC used Direct Memory Access (DMA) with an Intel 8237 controller for high-speed data transfers, primarily for the floppy disk controller and RAM refresh, allowing peripherals to move data to/from memory without constant CPU intervention, a crucial feature even though the 8088 CPU was slow. ____ former Meta engineer, who quickly rose through the corporate ranks, says you shouldn't 'aim for promotions'.

Data centers pivot to aircraft turbines, generators to bypass grid connection delays. So Long, GPT-5. Hello, Qwen. My insulin pump controller uses the Linux kernel. It also violates the GPL (reddit.com). what is a software GPL violation? AI Overview A GPL violation is when someone distributes software using GPL-licensed code (GNU General Public License) but fails to meet the license's core requirement: providing the full, corresponding source code (and a way to get it) to users, effectively hiding modifications or locking down freedoms. This breaks the "copyleft" principle, which uses copyright law to ensure software freedom, meaning you can use, modify, and share GPL code, but only if you also share your changes under the same terms. Common violations include shipping a product with GPL software (like Linux) without offering the source, or providing an incomplete source offer.

Thursday December 25 16:22 ____ Donald Knuth’s 2025 Christmas Lecture: The Knight’s Tours. 8 old programming languages developers won’t quit. AI overestimates how smart people are, according to economists. One real reason AI isn't delivering: Meatbags in manglement. prosefights apparently hit by bragawatt or imposter hack. Did you mean: who is braga watt? AI Overview "Bragawatt" is not a person, but a slang term used within the data center and AI infrastructure industries. The term describes the tendency of companies to announce massive, gigawatt-scale data center projects, often to generate hype or intimidate competitors, rather than for realistic, immediate execution. " he term was coined by the head of i nfrastructure at the investment firm KKR, Waldemar Szlezak, who has advised clients to "look beyond the bragawatts". Key aspects of "bragawatts" include: Hype vs. Reality: The announcements often involve projects for which the necessary permits, financing, or power interconnections have not been fully secured. Market Signaling: Companies may overstate their capacity to secure a place in the power grid's interconnection queue or to impress investors. Industry Context: The term reflects the current race among tech giants (like those in the AI space) to build immense data center capacity, leading to a lot of noise and making it difficult to distinguish between speculative and shovel-ready projects. ____ How many lines of code in whcih languages required to implement Big Tech frameworks? AII Overview The number of lines of code (LOC) in Big Tech frameworks varies widely depending on the framework's complexity, age, and programming languages used, but typically reaches millions of lines across multiple languages. Microsoft, for instance, has a goal to replace 1 billion lines of C/C++ with Rust across its codebase. Exact, up-to-date LOC counts for specific, constantly evolving frameworks are hard to pinpoint, but general estimates for large-scale projects provide a sense of the scale. Lines of Code in Major Frameworks and Platforms. ... Key Takeaways Scale: Big Tech frameworks are classified as "very large" projects, exceeding several million lines of code. Multi-language: They invariably use multiple programming languages to leverage specific strengths (e.g., C++ for speed, Python for ease of use/scripting, JavaScript for web frontends). Readability and maintainability are key concerns for such large codebases, influencing language choices and coding practices. ____ I'm returning my Framework 16 (yorickpeterse.com). are frameworks a Big Tech software solution? AI Overview Software Engineering Frameworks: The Ultimate Guide for 2023 ... Frameworks are fundamental to Big Tech (and all modern software), acting as pre-built structures that boost efficiency, consistency, and speed by handling common tasks, letting developers focus on unique features, with many popular ones like React (Meta) or Angular (Google) actually created by Big Tech to solve their own scaling problems, though they often release them as open-source. They are essential tools, not just a Big Tech choice, saving massive time and money by preventing developers from reinventing the wheel. Why Big Tech Uses (and Creates) Frameworks. ... Are They Only for Big Tech? No, frameworks are for everyone! Small companies and individual developers rely on them even more heavily to compete, leveraging the same powerful tools created by tech giants to build their own applications faster and better. ____ AI Overview The Intel 8088 processor has 20 physical address pins, while the modern Pentium Silver N6000 has a significantly larger physical address space width (number of bits), though not necessarily a dedicated pin for each address line on the chip package.

Why Data Centers Are Falling Behind Schedule; Jensen Huang’s Power " Summit. WHAT AREE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 1 UNINFORMED 2 MISINFORMED 3 DISINFORMED? AI Overview The core difference lies in the presence or absence of information and the intent behind any false information. 1. Uninformed To be uninformed means an individual "lacks information or has inadequate i nformation on a particular topic. Information Status: Has little to no knowledge or facts. Intent: Neutral. The condition is due to a lack of exposure to information, lack of interest, or not having done research. Example: A person who has not read any news about an upcoming local election is uninformed about the candidates' platforms 2. Misinformed To be misinformed means an individual has false, i naccurate, or misleading information but believes it to be true. Information Status: Possesses incorrect facts/information. Intent: Neutral (on the part of the person sharing it). The person sharing the false information does so unknowingly and without the intent to deceive or cause harm. Example: A friend tells you the post office opens at 9 a.m. on Saturday, when it actually opens at 10 a.m. Your friend made an honest mistake and didn't intend to give you bad information. 3. Disinformed (Note: The user asked for "misinformed" twice, the third term is typically " disinformed" in this context). To be disinformed means an individual has been exposed to false information that was intentionally and deliberately created and spread to mislead, manipulate, or harm. Information Status: Possesses incorrect or fabricated facts/information." Intent: Malicious/Deliberate. The information is spread with a knowing purpose to deceive for political gain, financial profit, or to cause chaos. Example: An actor with an agenda purposefully creates a fake news story about a politician that is entirely fabricated, in order to sway public opinion before an election. Summary Table What Comes Next for Arduino after Qualcomm’s Acquisition?. ____ No, the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is not considering dropping support for the C compiler and focusing solely on C++. GCC is a multi-language compiler suite that actively supports many languages, including C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Ada, Go, and D. Key points: "GCC" is a collection: The name GCC stands for the "GNU Compiler Collection, " not just the "GNU C Compiler" (a common misconception). It is designed from the ground up to support multiple front-ends for different languages, all sharing a common back-end. Active C support: GCC has robust and ongoing support for various versions of the C standard (C89, C99, C11, etc.) and its own GNU extensions. Separate front-ends: The gcc command is primarily the driver for the C compiler (by default, or by file extension), and g++ is the driver for the C++ compiler. They share a lot of common code but operate as distinct language compilers with different default settings and libraries. No plans for deprecation: There have been no official announcements or indications from the GCC steering committee or the Free Software Foundation (which maintains GCC) about deprecating the C compiler. The C and C++ compilers within GCC are both actively developed and maintained, with ongoing support for new language standards for both C and C++. ____6 Arm sheds billions in market capitalization after Qualcomm hints at RISC-V adoption with Ventara Micro acquisition. ____ When the AI bubble bursts, humans will finally have their chance to take back control.

LLVM and CLANG are not the results of AI. And while they are very good compiler technology, they are simply the representation of where that has evolved to at this time. They do not surprise me. No more than gcc did previously, nor the MIPS compiler suite that came out of Fred Chow’s Stanford thesis and built on the work that went into Pcode, which was done to make portable Pascal compilers, where Pascal was the continuation of the trend that started with Algol 60 and grew out of the work done to make FORTRAN (and at that point, you are beyond my horizon of experience). And, I don’t mean that to be dismissive of them, just to put them in context. ____ 5 RASPBERRY PI PROJECTS THAT CAN REPLACE YOUR EXPENSIVE SUBSCRIPTIONS. is NAS a ephamism for Gloud Computing? AI Overview No, NAS (Network Attached Storage) is not a euphemism for cloud computing; they are distinct storage types, though a NAS can function as a "personal cloud," and "Cloud NAS" services blend both, but traditional NAS is local hardware, while the cloud is remote, third-party infrastructure. The key difference is location: NAS is your own physical box on your network (like a mini-server for files), whereas the cloud means storing data on someone else's servers over the internet. NAS Explained. is NAS a a subscription service? No, Network-Attached Storage (NAS) is generally a one-time purchase of hardware that does not require a subscription service. It provides an alternative to subscription-based cloud storage services like Google Drive or Dropbox, allowing you to own and control your data locally. Key Points. ... The primary financial benefit of a NAS, especially for users with l arge data storage needs, is the long-term cost-effectiveness compared to the accumulating monthly fees of cloud storage subscriptions.

AI Overview Real (or natural) intelligence comes from biological brains, featuring consciousness, emotions, adaptability, and understanding meaning, while Artificial Intelligence (AI) is human-made, excelling at fast data processing and specific tasks through algorithms, lacking genuine feelings, self-awareness, and broad, contextual understanding, though AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) aims to bridge this gap, notes University of Hull, Psychology Today, Hakkoda. The key difference lies in origin, consciousness, and scope: humans understand why, AI calculates how, working best in partnership. Real (Natural) Intelligence ... Artificial Intelligence ... The Core Distinction Understanding vs. Mimicry: Humans understand concepts, feelings, and purpose; AI mimics understanding through pattern recognition, operating on logic and data without true sentience. Scope: Human intelligence is broad (General Intelligence), while most AI is narrow (Narrow AI), designed for specific functions. Collaboration: The future sees them as complementary tools, with AI handling data tasks and humans providing creativity, emotion, and ethical guidance. ____ what are the safe voltage lower at higher limits for a 12 volt rechargeable AGM battery? AI Overview For a 12V AGM battery, safe charging limits involve a higher Absorption Voltage (around 14.4V - 15V) for bulk charging and a lower Float Voltage (around 13.2V - 13.8V) for maintenance, while safe discharge limits are typically above 11.8V, with deep cycles ideally not going below 50% (around 12.2V-12.3V) to prevent damage. The key is temperature compensation; higher temps need lower voltage, lower temps allow slightly higher voltage, but always avoid prolonged over 15V or below 11.8V for standard use. Charging Voltages (When connected to a charger) ... Key Takeaway Always use a charger with an AGM setting to get the right voltage profile, especially during the absorption phase (14.4-15V) and float phase (13.2-13.8V), and avoid letting the resting voltage drop below 12V for too long to protect your battery's lifespan. *** Here is a general 12V AGM battery voltage chart (resting voltage/open-circuit voltage): 100% State of Charge (SOC): ~12.8V - 13.0V 75% SOC: ~12.5V 50% SOC: ~12.1V - 12.3V 25% SOC: ~11.9V - 12.1V 0% SOC: ~10.5V - 10.6V Massless Structural Batteries Will Transform Vehicle Design.

Oracle’s Earnings Call Highlights Cloud and AI Growth. what are the parts of an unsigned binary divide? AI Overview An unsigned binary division involves a Dividend, a Divisor, a Quotient, and a Remainder, working through repeated shift-and-subtract operations, where the dividend (or partial remainder in register A) is shifted left, the divisor (in register M) is compared, subtracted if possible (placing a '1' in the quotient), or shifted (placing a '0') until the final result is formed, with the quotient in register Q and remainder in register A. Key Components ... This process builds the quotient bit by bit, using basic shift and subtraction operations, making it fundamental for hardware implementation. does the 64 bit x86 ISA support a 128 bit dividend and 64 bit divisor? AI Overview Yes, the 64-bit x86 (x86-64) architecture directly supports dividing a 128-bit value by a 64-bit divisor using dedicated hardware instructions like DIV and IDIV, where the 128-bit dividend is implicitly held across the RDX:RAX registers (high 64 bits i n RDX, low 64 bits in RAX), producing a 64-bit quotient in RAX and a 64-bit remainder in RDX. How it works: ... This hardware support makes 128-bit/64-bit division efficient, leveraging the paired register convention common in x86 for handling larger-than-native-word results and inputs. Do the ARM 64 bit ISA provide similar hardware support as the 64 bit X86 ISA? AI Overview Yes, modern 64-bit ARM (ARM64/AArch64) and x86-64 ISAs offer comparable hardware support for complex computing, but achieve it differently: ARM focuses on power efficiency with more registers and simpler instructions (RISC), while x86 leverages legacy for compatibility (CISC) but adds modern features, with performance now often matching or exceeding x86 in many tasks, blurring the traditional RISC vs. CISC performance gap through sophisticated designs. Both support advanced features like large memory, SIMD, and virtualization, but ARM's clean slate in 64-bit (AArch64) avoids x86's baggage, enabling better power/performance scaling, especially in mobile, servers, and emerging PCs. Key Similarities & Differences in Hardware Support: ... Key Takeaway: While their underlying design philosophies differ (ARM's clean 64-bit design vs. x86's evolutionary path), modern 64-bit ARM and x86 architectures provide powerful, comparable hardware support for today's demands, with ARM closing the performance gap in traditionally x86 domains like PCs and servers. does python use llvm and clang compiler?

While providers offer strong encryption and backups, user mistakes (phishing, poor settings) remain a top risk, making a hybrid approach or privacy-focused solutions popular for maximizing security. ...I n essence, users trust the technology but remain cautious about implementation, often adopting cloud storage for convenience while employing extra steps to secure their most critical data. ____| which large computer vendor initiated the practice of not test software at the module level but releasing their wsoftwre to let users reort bugs? AI Overview The computer vendor widely associated with minimizing internal testing and relying on user feedback to report bugs, particularly in the mid-90s and early 2000s, is Microsoft. This practice became part of the company's approach during a shift from traditional software development methods, While the "release early, release often" philosophy originated in open-source development, notably with the Linux kernel and discussed in Eric Raymond's 1997 essay " The Cathedral and the Bazaar," the application of this with a reduced internal testing team in a major proprietary software vendor is strongly linked to Microsoft. In the 2010s, for example, Microsoft made significant changes to its quality assurance teams, laying off a large number of dedicated testers and expecting developers to rely more on agile methodologies, internal " dogfooding" (using their own products internally), and automated testing. This shift, combined with widespread "Windows Error Reporting" from a massive user base, meant that a substantial amount of bug detection effectively occurred after the software was released to users.

AI Overview Yes, the significant Microsoft 365 price hike starting July 1, 2026, is a big deal and a major warning for all commercial users (businesses, government, nonprofits) to review their subscriptions, as prices for most business and government plans are increasing due to new AI, security, and management features, with frontline worker plans seeing big jumps (F1, F3) and enterprise plans (E3, E5) also rising, requiring proactive budget planning and feature utilization to justify costs. Key Details of the Price Hike: ... In essence: Microsoft is increasing prices to reflect the added value from recent innovations, especially AI, making it a substantial change after several years without significant hikes for many business plans. [Is AI always to be believed?] Has the cost of building software dropped 90%? (martinalderson.com). ____ can a binary number be representd as a polynomial? Yes, a binary number can be represented as a polynomial where the bits (0s and 1s) act as coefficients for powers of a variable (like \(x\)), with each position corresponding to a power of 2, forming a polynomial over the finite field \(\mathbb{F}_{2}\) (where arithmetic is modulo 2). This representation is useful for symbolic manipulation, error- correcting codes (like CRC), and computer science algorithms, effectively treating the binary string \(b_{n}b_{n-1}...b_{1}b_{0}\) as \(b_{n}x^{n}+b_{n-1}x^ {n-1}+...+b_{1}x+b_{0}\).  How it works: does the x86 ISA have a subtract with borrow? AI Overview Yes, the x86 Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) absolutely has a dedicated Subtract with Borrow (SBB) instruction, which works in conjunction with the standard SUB instruction to perform arithmetic on numbers larger than a single register, chaining the borrow (or carry flag) from lower-order operations to higher-order ones. This is essential for multi-precision arithmetic, allowing you to subtract numbers that exceed 32 or 64 bits by processing them in chunks. How it works: does the ARM ISA have a subtract with borrow? AI Overview Yes, the ARM ISA (both AArch32 and AArch64) absolutely has subtract-with-borrow instructions, typically named SBC (Subtract with Carry) or SBCS (with flags), which perform \(Destination= Rn-Rm-\text{NOT}(\text{Carry\ Flag})\), effectively implementing subtract-with-borrow for multi- precision arithmetic. These instructions use the processor's Condition Flags, especially the Carry Flag (C), to handle borrows across multiple machine-word operations.  How it Works: does the risc-v ISA have a subtract with borrow? AI Overview The base RISC-V Integer Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) does not include a dedicated "subtract with borrow" instruction. The standard ISA avoids condition codes or flags for general-purpose arithmetic, which simplifies the pipeline design of processors. However, the optional RISC-V Vector Extension (RVV) does include specific vector instructions for "subtract with borrow" (vmsbc.vv, vmsbc.vx), which are used for multi-word and high-performance arithmetic operations. Emulating Subtract with Borrow in Base RISC-V. While this approach works, it creates instruction dependencies that can impact performance on superscalar processors compared to ISAs with built-in carry/borrow flags or dedicated instructions. AI Overview No, Diophantine math isn't exclusively "Islam Math," but Islamic mathematicians made huge contributions to number theory and the study of Diophantine equations (problems seeking integer solutions), building on Greek foundations (like Diophantus's work) and developing new methods, effectively making it a shared field with significant Islamic development, particularly through figures like al-Khwarizmi and al-Farisi. Key Points: ... In essence, Diophantine analysis is a universal branch of mathematics, but Islamic scholars were instrumental in its preservation, development, and integration into broader algebraic frameworks "Diophantus and his works influenced mathematics in the medieval Islamic world, ..."

AI Overview No, the computation of the inverse of a nonsingular binary matrix is not a Diophantine equation. A Diophantine equation is a polynomial equation with integer coefficients for which only integer solutions are sought. AI Overview Gauss Elimination Method and Gauss Jordan ... Gaussian elimination is a systematic algorithm in linear algebra for solving systems of linear equations by transforming their matrix representation into a simpler row echelon form (upper triangular) using allowed row operations, making it easy to find solutions through back-substitution. It works by creating zeros below the main diagonal (pivots) of the coefficient matrix, effectively eliminating variables one by one, and can reveal if a system has one, infinite, or no solutions. Key Concepts ___ what is a software certification masquerade? AI Overview A software certification masquerade is a type of cyberattack where a malicious actor makes their malicious software or artifact appear legitimate and trusted to evade security defenses and trick users into executing it. This is often done by manipulating features such as code signatures, file names, or file locations to mimic legitimate software. . How the Attack Works ... In essence, the attack leverages the trust users and systems place in the appearance and metadata associated with legitimate software certification and naming conventions. can software certification mean pretending to sertify software without certifying the dependencies at the machine language level? AI Overview Software certification generally involves the verification of all components necessary for the software to function, and it is not possible to certify software in any meaningful, trustworthy sense without implicitly or explicitly verifying its dependencies down to the machine code level. The idea of "pretending" to certify software while ignoring low-level dependencies is a security and integrity risk. Here's why: Dependencies are part of the executable code: ... Trust Chain: A ... Security Risks: ... Certification Standards: ... Self-Certification is Not Enough: ... In essence, any legitimate certification process for safety or security requires proof that the entire execution environment, including all dependencies and their machine code, meets the specified requirements. ____ Microsoft has a problem: nobody wants to buy or use its shoddy AI products — as Google's AI growth begins to outpace Copilot products.

TVA urges residents near Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant to stay emergency-ready. ____ Logitech CEO Says AI Devices Are Solutions Looking for Problems. ____ AI Becomes the Operating Backbone of the Power Sector. ____ Airbus cuts plane delivery target amid A320 fuselage problem. what is the difference between a true software engineer and a "software engineer"? AI Overview The difference lies in the scope and depth of work: a "true" software engineer applies formal engineering principles to large-scale systems, focusing on design, architecture, and a structured process, while the common use of the title "software engineer" is often interchangeable with "developer" or "programmer" and may involve more hands-on coding of specific features or applications. The former role involves high-level planning, system integration, and optimization, while the latter often focuses on building specific parts of a system based on pre-existing designs. True software engineer Focus: Large-scale systems, high-level design, and applying formal engineering principles. Responsibilities: System architecture, planning, performance optimization, integration, and ensuring reliability and dependability. Involves: More time on planning, analysis, design, and documentation than actual coding. Examples: Designing the software for a flight control system or a nuclear power plant. Background: Often associated with formal engineering education and a structured understanding of the entire software development lifecycle. "Software engineer" (common usage) Focus: Building specific software features or applications. Responsibilities: Writing, testing, and debugging code based on given requirements and designs. Involves: Primarily hands-on coding. Examples: Creating a new feature for a mobile app or a website. Background: This title is often used interchangeably with "software developer" or "programmer" and may be given to individuals without formal engineering training, such as those from coding bootcamps. Key takeaway The distinction is not always clear-cut, as the industry often uses the title "software engineer" without the corresponding level of responsibility or expertise. A true software engineering role demands a deeper understanding of engineering principles for complex, mission-critical systems, whereas the common usage can be a broader term that encompasses a wider range of skills and responsibilities, often closer to those of a software developer or programmer.

Nvidia says it isn't using 'circular financing' schemes. 2 famous short sellers disagree. ____ how does infix differ from rpn?how does infix differ from rpn? AI Overview Infix notation places operators between operands, like \(3+4\), while RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) places operators after their operands, like \(3\;4\;+\). The key difference is that infix requires parentheses and operator precedence rules to be parsed, whereas RPN eliminates both, making it easier for computers to evaluate using a simple left-to-right stack-based algorithm.  Infix notation ... RPN (Reverse Polish Notation). does a Yacc convert from infix to rpn? AI Overview A Yacc parser does not automatically convert infix notation to Reverse Polish Notation (RPN); rather, it parses the infix expression and can be programmed to output the RPN equivalent. The conversion is defined by how you write the grammar rules and associated actions within the Yacc specification. How it Works. ... Alternative Method: Shunting-Yard Algorithm The standard algorithm specifically for converting infix to RPN (or postfix) is the shunting-yard algorithm, which typically uses a stack data structure. Yacc's internal shift-reduce parsing mechanism can achieve a similar result as the shunting-yard algorithm if the actions are correctly implemented. does intel mcs BASIC-52 convert from infix to rpn each time an expresion is interpreted? AI Overview Yes, the MCS BASIC-52 interpreter evaluates expressions by converting them to an internal postfix representation, also known as Reverse Polish Notation (RPN), each time an expression is encountered during interpretation. This approach is typical for interpreters, especially those in resource-constrained environments like the 8052AH microcontroller, for several reasons: ... nterpreter Design: The original expression in infix notation is processed (parsed and converted to RPN) immediately as part of the interpretation step when the line is executed, rather than being pre- compiled into a machine-code RPN equivalent. did Gates and associates x86 BASIC convert from infix to rpn each time an expression is interpreted? AI Overview Yes, early Microsoft BASIC interpreters (including those developed by "Gates and Associates," the name used on the original Altair BASIC) converted infix expressions to Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) (also known as postfix notation) as part of their i nterpretation and evaluation process. his RPN token stream was then evaluated using a simple stack-based algorithm. This approach was efficient for the memory-constrained microcomputers of the era because: Syntax Simplicity: ... Stack Efficiency: ... The source code for later versions of Microsoft BASIC, such as the 8080 and 8086 variants, confirms this design choice, which was a common and effective method for interpreters at the time.

riiday November 28 15:15 ____ is burry winning his bet? AI Overview Michael Burry has a well-known history of making significant, high-profile bets, and the question is likely referring to one of two possibilities: his famous bet against the US housing market, which he already won, or his recent short positions against certain AI stocks. He famously made close to $800 million in profit for his firm (and millions for himself) by betting against the U.S. subprime mortgage market before the 2008 financial crisis. This bet has long been settled and is the basis for the book and movie The Big Short. His Current AI Bet (Ongoing) More recently, in November 2025, Burry made headlines for building significant bearish positions (put options) against artificial intelligence (AI) high-flyers Nvidia (NVDA) and Palantir (PLTR), totaling a notional value of over $1 billion. Palantir: Burry appears to be winning this bet so far, as Palantir's stock has plunged significantly since his position was revealed. Nvidia: This situation is more volatile. Nvidia's stock experienced some dips following the news of his bet and his subsequent critiques, but its long-term performance and reaction to earnings reports mean the outcome of this bet remains uncertain and will depend on future market movements. T he bet is a recent development, and its ultimate success or failure will likely take months to play out. In summary, he has already won his famous "Big Short" bet, but the outcome of his current bet against AI stocks is still in progress. His "Big Short" Bet (Won) ____ Michael Burry Just Exposed How Big Tech Is Inflating AI Profits. what is circular buying? AI Overview The Role of Procurement in a Circular Supply Chain Model Circular buying, or circular procurement, is an approach to purchasing that applies circular economy principles to reduce waste and the use of virgin resources by prioritizing the entire lifecycle of a product.

Migrating the main Zig repository from GitHub to Codeberg (ziglang.org). is relocateable code mainframe mentality? AI Overview The concept of relocatable code is a fundamental concept in computing, integral to operating systems across many architectures, including mainframes, and is not a "mainframe mentality" in the sense of being exclusive or unique to mainframes. Relocatability allows code to be l oaded into any available memory address at runtime, which is crucial for multi-user, multi-tasking systems—a characteristic of both mainframes and modern systems. Understanding Relocatable Code and Mainframe Systems ... The "mainframe mentality" more commonly refers to an engineering culture of systems thinking, emphasizing extreme reliability, thorough error handling, and resource awareness—anticipating everything that can go wrong—rather than a specific low-level coding technique like relocatability itself. have gigabyte and larger memories largely obviated the need for relocatable code? AI Overview No, gigabyte and larger memories have not obviated the need for relocatable code; in fact, its importance has increased. Modern computing relies heavily on relocation techniques for efficient memory management, dynamic linking, and security purposes. The reasons for the continued necessity of relocatable code are: ... Dynamic Linking: Most modern software uses shared libraries (e.g., DLLs on Windows). These libraries are compiled as relocatable code because the operating system cannot know in advance where in a program's memory space it will load them. The dynamic linker adjusts the internal addresses within the library at runtime to match their actual loaded location. ... While larger address spaces (like 64-bit) can reduce some specific complexities, such as the need for position-independent code (PIC) in all cases, the underlying principle of relocation remains essential for modern computing systems to function correctly and securely. who invented dlls and mangled names? AI Overview Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) are a core component of the Microsoft Windows operating system. While the concept of shared libraries and dynamically linked code existed before Windows, the specific implementation and widespread use of DLLs are attributed to Microsoft as part of the development of their operating system. Name mangling is a technique primarily associated with C++, a language invented by Bjarne Stroustrup. Stroustrup developed C++ (originally "C with Classes") in 1979 at Bell Labs. Name mangling became a necessary feature in C++ to support features like function overloading, namespaces, and templates, which allow multiple functions or entities to share the same source code name but have different underlying implementations or contexts. The mangling process creates unique names for these entities in the compiled code, which the linker can then correctly resolve. While the specific mangling schemes can vary between compilers, the concept originated with the development of C++.
