(2021)"]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>I’d argue that ‘a bunch of additional code’ to solve for memory safety is exactly what you’re doing in the ‘defining memory safety away’ example with Rust or Swift.<p>It’s just code you didn’t write and thus likely don’t understand as well.<p>This can potentially lead to performance and/or control flow issues that get incredibly difficult to debug.</p>

<p>Didn’t know the people behind the mp3 format were into tooling for metalworking. Guess it makes sense, it involves a practical application for use of sound, and they are a research institution.<p>I wonder if the metal can hear the difference if it’s not the full 192 kHz.</p>

<p>Adding together all the different standards/feature sets a chip supports and then aggregating the bandwidth into a single number is actually a very reasonable way to arrive at an approximation for total chip computational throughput.<p>Ultimately, unless the chip architecture is oversubscribed or overloaded (unsure what the right term is), the features are all meant to be used simultaneously and thus the bits being read/written have to come from somewhere.<p>That somewhere is a % of the total throughput of the chip.<p>Stated another way — people forget that there’s almost always a single piece of silicon backing the total bandwidth throughput of modern computing devices regardless of what ‘standard’ is being used.</p>

<p>I think the author raises a good point about how much human time/energy/effort go into creating content for systems that are at best closed loops when it comes to search-ability/discovery methods, and prone to disappear completely if one company loses funding or has a policy change at worst.<p>Both of those seem antithetical to the free exchange of information that was the ethos of the early internet.<p>I also recognize the profound economic incentives that work against that free exchange of information, and I'm not offering a solution, so grain of salt and all that.</p>
