This addresses the “short long tail” (known bounded variance due to the multiple physical operations underlying a single logical memory op), but for hard real time applications the “long long tail” of correctable-ECC-error—and-scrub may be the critical case.
Can you name a YouTube channel that experienced a drop in viewership, subscribers, any metric whatsoever, after a sponsorship read turned out to be a scam?
In the 1990's and for us GenX'ers, selling out was the worst thing you could do; to take the man's money instead of keeping your integrity. Calling people and bands 'sell outs' (sometimes without justification!) was to insult them.
Now with the rise of 'influencers' selling out is the norm, and people are praised for doing so.
This is a massive shift in the cultural landscape and is perhaps something many born after ~2000 are unaware of.
The article says that the research showed that energy transferred to the ball was basically the same — although it also says that a batter couldn’t feel the difference, which can’t be true given the angular momentum difference. But as a casual watcher of the game, it seems like there’s sufficient energy in the game right now that even a reduction of energy would be a good trade if the bat has a larger sweet spot, or puts it in a more usable place, no?
Wouldn’t a tree without rings still reasonably capture the atmospheric C13:C12 ratio as it grows? Or is the carbon motility within the trunk too high, or the ratio differences too small, to sample a bit near the core and use the ratio there as an age indicator?
Could be (I have no idea), but it sounds like that would be possible to investigate only by complicated laboratory tests. Not a visible change that makes it easy to calculate age by just sawing up a cross section and counting visible rings.
There's still at least one relevant big-endian-only ARM chip out there, the TI Hercules. While in the past five or ten years we've gone from having very few options for lockstep microcontrollers (with the Hercules being a very compelling option) to being spoiled for choice, the Hercules is still a good fit for some applications, and is a pretty solid chip.
At a lower level in the formal verification stack than this, it's on the one hand awesome that ARM has published a machine readable architecture specification for the more recent A architectures in ASL... and on the other hand extremely frustrating that they haven't done the same for M.
"For example, the ASL code published through the A-Profile Arm Architecture Reference Manual, Exploration Tools downloads for A-Profile, or the Armv8-M Architecture Reference Manual."
I hadn't noticed that... wonder if it's new. Just downloaded the Armv8-M ARM (nice acronym) and... this might be helpful, but man extracting this stuff from a PDF seems error-prone and the wrong way to do it.
I suspect you've believed that this didn't exist due to the predominance of pre-Armv8-M devices in the market: there is no ASL for Armv7-M and earlier, and devices based on these older cores remain extremely common (STM32F1x, etc.) The good news is this is changing as new devices appear. The bad news is there probably will never be ASL published for older cores.
