L1 cache reference ......................... 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict ............................ 5 ns
L2 cache reference ........................... 7 ns
Mutex lock/unlock ........................... 25 ns
Main memory reference ...................... 100 ns             
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy ............. 3,000 ns  =   3 µs
Send 2K bytes over 1 Gbps network ....... 20,000 ns  =  20 µs
SSD random read ........................ 150,000 ns  = 150 µs

Read 1 MB sequentially from memory ..... 250,000 ns = 250 µs

A Cult Of Ignorance, Isaac Asimov

It's hard to quarrel with that ancient justification of the free press: "America's right to know." It seems almost cruel to ask, ingeniously, "America's right to know what, please? Science? Mathematics? Economics? Foreign languages?"

None of those things, of course. In fact, one might well suppose that the popular feeling is that Americans are a lot better off without any of that tripe.

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way throughout political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

Politicians have routinely striven to speak the language of Shakespeare and Milton as ungrammaticaly as possible in order to avoid offending their audiences by appearing to have gone to school. Thus, Adlai Stevenson, who incautiously allowed intelligence and learning and wit to peep out of his speeches, found the American people

  • User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
    • Who is going to use it?

Notes from the "Conquering Kubernetes with Emacs" presentation

Conquering Kubernetes with Emacs

Specific Annoying workflow

Listing pods with kubectl get pods, then select a pod name and copy paste it into kubectl logs [pod name]

Why?

  • I want to streamline my workflow and stop using the terminal
  • learn more about kubernetes
  • main kubernetes extension for Emacs out there is greedy for permissions

Linux on Thinkpad P14s Gen2 AMD / T14 Gen2 AMD

Linux (Fedora 35) on a Thinkpad P14s [T14] Gen2 AMD

These are my installation-tricks and notes for running Linux on a 2021 Thinkpad P14s Gen2 with AMD Ryzen 7 5850U. It should also be suitable for the Thinkpad T14 Gen2 AMD as they are technically the same modell.
Meanwhile there is also a good test on youtube and an entry in the arch-wiki, which also comments some points mentioned here.

Detailed specs
