The tweet says blackstone. Thats a separate firm from blackrock. And the tweets misleading in the first place, it's looking at the bottom of a candle which wasn't even the current price at the time of the photograph? And the stock closed at about 154.

Besides all this says is that it matters for blackstone...not for the housing market at large.

There are parts of the tech industry culture I dislike, but its definitely not endless meetings, micromanagement, and coworkers who work extra hours. Especially with regards to meetings and micromanagement, which I see the tech industry as having a very low amount of either compared to other industries.

I think there was also similar reports with Apple recently. There was some kind of emergency hotline contact or something like that where authorities could request information where it was extremely time sensitive (I think the example given was human trafficking? although my memory was hazy), and they would be provided information without a warrant.

Thank you for the article, although I don't tend to be too disparaging about these types of ingredients (I think) it's always a good reminder to be open minded and aware that you don't know others situations. And on top of that there's absolutely nothing wrong with making tradeoffs for convenience...and its also not necessarily good to take what people claim are tradeoffs as absolute truth.

If you read the article EY have been ordered to retain two independent consultants in response to this.

The SEC has ordered EY to retain two independent consultants to help remediate its deficiencies. One will review the firm’s policies and procedures relating to ethics and integrity. The other will review EY's conduct regarding its disclosure failures, including whether any EY employees contributed to the firm’s failure to correct its misleading submission, the SEC said.

I was interested in the topic but the snide tone was very difficult to get through.

If I had read it when I was much younger I might have enjoyed it, but I've read so much writing with a similar tone that at this point I consider comes off as cliched. Especially in combination with the verbal sparring with strawmen device.

I was able to get through it mostly, but my motivation decreased as I increasingly got the feeling that the author was researching in service of a pre-determined point rather than doing an "investigation" as claimed in the beginning.

The first two studies don't seem like they lead to this conclusion at all. Someone choosing luxury branded clothes on a virtual avatar is completely different from actually wearing luxury branded clothes.

The third study regarding social media would be interesting if I had access to it. But I'm still wondering if this translates to in person communication.

If the data is contiguous in memory and frequently accessed it will almost certainly make its way into L1 cache and be there for the life of the program.

If the data is not contiguous it could make the CPU's life much harder.

There's also the matter of program size (the amount of instructions in the actual program) and whether the program does anything which forces it to go lower cache levels or RAM.

There are intrinsics for software prefetching such as __mm_prefetch, but those are difficult to use such that they actually increase you're performance.

At least one in five children falls victim to sexual violence during childhood 3 . A 2021 global study found that more than one in three respondents had been asked to do something sexually explicit online during their childhood, and over half had experienced a form of child sexual abuse online 4 . Children with disabilities face an even higher risk of experiencing sexual violence: up to 68% of girls and 30% of boys with intellectual or developmental disabilities will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday 5 .

That is absolutely shocking.

It seemed like this person was talking about an intrusive linked list with an arena allocator of some sort, which isn't ideal but still fairly cache friendly.
