I wonder what the speedup would be if runtimes like golang or iava were to adopt rseq on linux.

i was seriously considering one of these about one year ago, but i was not 100% convinced and I ended up deciding to wait and see what else would came out (mostly driven by the rumors about a cheap macbook).

I ended up buying the macbook neo and frankly i think i made the right choice.

of course the macbook does not run gnu/linux (for better or for worse).



> The problems are at school level.

Imho the problems are even deeper: they’re at culture level.

But that’s where things get controversial, so i’ll hint at the problems and stop here.


(The two sibling comments confirm i was right at only hinting at the problem and avoiding the quarrels. No one of the two commenters is trying to engage in a healthy and honest conversation. That’s another sign of a… cultural issue)

You mean the culture of cutting funding from under performing schools to enforce a downward spiral and divert money to private schools? If not you should be more specific.

Can confirm (italian here as well).

I took the cpu architecture and operating systems class exam about six or seven times. It was incredibly frustrating and demoralising at the time but looking back it made absolute sense and was completely worth it.

I’ve been living off the learning from that course for the last ten years.

And believe me when i say it’s definitely visible when you’re talking with somebody that took that course (or an equivalent one from a different university) and actually understood the topics.


weird, we have around 150-160 macbook pros (anything m3/m4/m5) in the office and i never smelled that

> A warehouse or factory would have more jobs,

It would add low value-added jobs though (unskilled labor). Datacenters add high value-added jobs (skilled labor).

Only looking at the headcount is shortsighted imho.


Aren't DC remotely managed for almost everything? How does a DC in Paris, Alabama benefit the locals if 99% of the well paid jobs for it are done in the Bay Area?

> Datacenters add high value-added jobs (skilled labor).

The highest skill job an AI datacenter adds locally is electrician or climate technician. And not many of those.


> they destroy green space

the law addresses exactly this. it greatly overtaxes datacenter in green spaces and lowers taxes in former industrial areas.

Regarding whether it's a good development drive... I can tell you, most companies could save a shitload of money by buying a few pallets of machines and racking them in a... datacenter.

I see our monthly AWS bill, I highly doubt we'd be spending that in datacenter bills.


Besides that, the us govt already has all your data and yet people are criticising it all around, in the open. They can, without repercussions, because the us is a free country.

Chinese people can’t really do the same.


> If you can buy low and sell high it’s worth it.

Or, hear me out: buy low and rent high.
