@lauriewired The main problem with IA64 wasn't the NaT flags but the instruction bundling. You need to feed it 3 ops at a time to max the pipeline but as it turns out most of computing is data transmutation you need result for to continue execution

“if 64 bit is so good then why don’t we have 65 bit architectures”
We kinda do, actually.
Just mostly as hardware, not pointers.
Intel Itanium’s general purpose registers were 65 bits; the last bit was known as a NaT flag. NaT stood for “not a thing”, which was a really interesting way of handling speculative execution.
Basically NaT was a poison flag to say “hey this result might be garbage we’ll deal with it later”.
Today we don’t really think about it, modern CPUs basically do all of their speculation in hardware…and throw out incorrect guesses without any user awareness.
Itanium was essentially a bet that with enough primitives exposed compilers *might* be able to make better decisions at compile-time (versus say, hardware guessing at runtime).
A (very) simplified way of putting it, is that on x86 you’re getting constant micro-stalls that the hardware deals with (…die space penalty), where *hypothetically* Itanium with a perfect compiler had no micro-stalls
…but really, really bad macro stalls (NaT recovery is a sloooow software fix).
Turns out, it was really difficult to write compilers that kept Itanium’s pipeline fed with anything that looks like a normal OS. But, it’s really interesting to see the general idea of “compiler handles the scheduling” coming up again with Cerebras (and arguably, the whole accelerator space)!
We’ll see how it pans out…
(Itanium was lovingly referred to as the “Itanic” by many)

@williamwallets8 I sat in micron and intel for years with this thesis. The btc thesis is just better, especially at discount

@TheLegalMindset How does a 6 month probation weapons charge turn into suppression of his free speech? We need to start fucking hanging these anti Americans

@jayair I still don't know what it does and still plan to never use it

@SophieSatoshi It' sbecause they don't understand where the 4.5% comes from. New suckers. Then they pay taxes on it.

@fgf_fan @QuinnyPig We need to replace all of you zoomer faggot karens in open source with legions of Terry Davises

@QuinnyPig You are setting yourself up for disappointment if you respect the central Python people too much. Lots of Terry Davises in there.

Guido van Rossum, who personally oversaw the Python 2-to-3 migration, is disappointed that a keynote wasted everyone's time. Sir.
Guido van Rossum@gvanrossum
PyCon US has started! So far I am very disappointed in the first keynote -- it's just a product pitch and the speaker isn't that engaging. Sorry.

@QuinnyPig I wasted so much time because they changed a few keywords to built in functions and made string encodings absolutely fucking b"retarded"
