Yep, the "hack" (X86EmulatorPkg) allows running the card in the UEFI out of the box. AMD also provides native aarch64 builds of their UEFI GOP driver though. And none of this is necessary for running the GPU in the OS – amdgpu POSTs the GPU just fine.

> memory-cacheability-attibutes issues

Recently I've added aarch64 support to FreeBSD's port of the DRM/KMS drivers :) Took a couple hours to realize that our implementations of Linux's mapping functions used normal uncacheable memory instead of device memory – fixing that stopped the hangs on driver load and allowed everything to work.

Then there was some corruption on the screen – our drm-kms is from Linux 5.0 for now, and I've had to cherry-pick a fix that only landed in 5.1 I think: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10778815/

The point to remind people, or at least improve the message, is that the tax exposes the actual price of a good.

Right now, we pay for plastic or carbon expensive goods without caring about the cost of dealing with the costs of clean up, or forest fires/storms that cause huge damage.

Right now, it’s a lottery - cheap goods, no information, and everyone in the population is hoping their disaster ticket doesn’t get punched.

However, people prefer making choices intelligently - knowing what it costs to actually deal with a product means people can immediately make choices.

Things are already expensive, we just don’t know how much so.

At least this way, we can make informed choices about how we want to live our life- it empowers us.
I really appreciate the progress here!

But I'm wondering if the return type of the function in the code example is not introducing too much complexity for a Rust novice trying to develop a simple highly concurrent HTTP service:

async fn process(data: TcpStream) -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>>

Update: I read that one can simplify this using for example the Hyper library:

async fn serve_req(_req: Request<Body>) -> Result<Response<Body>, hyper::Error>
We will. Keep an eye out for one in a few weeks.

That was indeed not what I was trying to say; I was trying to say we cannot switch at the snap of our fingers at all, so since we're not going to do that, whatever risk might be associated with that is not relevant to this discussion. Apologies for not clearly communicating :)
I don't know what you are referring to here. Care to elaborate?

You make assumptions about individual user's consent from whatever bulk experiences you might have measured. Either that, or you didn't even measure anything and therefore you're just making things up about what's "acceptable."

> This isn't about individual taste.

Who said anything about taste, it's about individual boundaries.

> My point was about differentiating between the OS provided valid architectural mechanisms vs surreptitious dark patterns applied on top of it by an application developer.

First, that's a word salad. Second, after untangling it, I'm pretty sure you mean "if there's a mechanism in the OS that enables this then it's okay" in which case that's even more absurd than the usual "if it's legal then it's okay." Look, even if you take Zoom's "let's leave a tray icon there when you thought you quit the app without putting a honking huge notice you just did that like a decent app usually does" is more about having a way to disawov ("see, we did leave a notification, lol") than actually ethical design. That's the _essence_ of a dark pattern.

Seriously, though, you're being creepy and advocating pushing people's boundaries here.
> "Motor vehicle accidents" are not even in the top 10 causes of death (they're 13th, using 2016's data)

That still doesn't really challenge parent's claims.
I don't have real knowledge of gravity, but I can speculate a bit. First, I don't think the blackbox argument necessarily makes sense. If the black box contains a massive point particle, and this particle moves from the left side of the box to the right, then the gravitational properties certainly change. For example, if there is a particle on top of the box, it will initially be pulled to the left, and subsequently be pulled to the right.

Having said that, your intuition that photons should have gravitational influence makes sense, since according to special relativity, mass and energy are equivalent. Since total energy (mass + energy) is conserved, the gravitational influence of the photon should equal that of the electron-positron pair (assuming they are all located at the same position). I think the article is agreeing with this point of view.
I am a C/C++ programmer mostly. Is there good documentation for python development when I care about performance and memory footprint out there as a book or something that anyone can recommend? It was fun reading this but I like to know more.
> anyone can write a kernel driver for macOS

No they can't. With SIP you won't be able to install it if it is not signed (for kernel extensions only a very few developers have certificates) and in any case you will be alerted about it. Also there are plans to completely disallow making kernel extensions in release after Catalina (since they can now run in userspace, I imagine that userspace will not get access to pre-installed hardware)

I was curious about this as I’ve never looked into ridership by route and at least for Chicago it is absolutely true. A 70k route would be more than 3x the biggest in Chicago.

> A carbon tax is perhaps the most common proposed solution to the climate change problem. It would increase quality of life, not reduce choice nor induce rationing. Currently, burning carbon imposes externalities that are not paid by the emitter. This means that some of the carbon emitted is emitted even though it provides more costs than benefits. A carbon tax and dividend INCREASES economic efficiency by ensuring that CO2 is generated only when benefits exceed costs.

This paragraph strikes me as falling somewhere between wishful thinking and absolute gibberish.

Perhaps a carbon tax is a good idea but it only "increases economic efficiency" if you perform some sleight of hand by saying "if we keep emitting carbon economic production will drop off due to climate change". That kind of externality is highly theoretical.

When people fret about the economic cost of transitioning to a low-carbon economy in the US, I think of two things:

1. The enormous amount of low-hanging fruit for energy savings in the US - huge poorly insulated houses, fuel guzzling cars and development patterns, ancient fossil fuel plants subsidized past their useful lives

2. Tens of trillions spent on Iraq and Afghanistan.

If we were somehow ok with that money going up into smoke (or the pockets of the defense industry), then surely we should be able to spend the same amount transforming the economy into a sustainable one and rebuilding our infrastructure, with the bonus of a huge domestic stimulus and job creation and technology program.

We have the technology today, we know the solutions, the problem is political.
To be fair, that 70k route is one of the top 5 routes in Europe by passenger numbers IIRC.
I've been to one talk, about the history of the bank, followed by a tour of the bank's museum. It was very interesting, and I'd like to go to more but it's a matter of finding the time.

A lot of the talks are about the work of charitable organisations, such as Hospice Africa (www.hospice-africa.org.uk/), Afghan Connection (http://afghanconnection.org), A Blueprint for Better Business (https://www.blueprintforbusiness.org), Intermission Youth Theatre (http://www.intermissionyouththeatre.co.uk) and Veterans Aid (https://veterans-aid.net).

Raspberry has 2x Gigabit RGMIIs on those SoCs, but they don't wire them out. It is a waste I think
Old toothpastes (and some of the new ones) used sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in the ingredients, it is slighly abrasive, it is whitening, not at all bad tasting and non-toxic if ingested/swallowed accidentally.
As a nodejs dev, NodeRED appealed to me. I have lights, curtains, irrigation, aquarium, etc all controlled from my phone/tablet via a raspberry pi.
It's only pre-order right now, and the firmware isn't done. They promise SBSA compliance (which includes ECAM PCIe working via a generic ACPI attachment) but they haven't passed the full test suite yet. Some experts are skeptical about whether full compliance is possible on that NXP chip…

I hope the PCIe works fine. And I hope the firmware will be FOSS like on their MACCHIATObin.

One thing they revealed is that the chip is overclockable (including memory), which is awesome. IIRC they got 2.5ish GHz core clock working. Would be amazing if it does like 3GHz with a voltage boost. (I don't expect software voltage control… but there's always hard mods :D)
Popper's view is neither the last word on what science is, nor the final arbiter as to whether something is scientific: what he did was to add some powerful insights to a description of how science works.

Having said that, it is neither unscientific nor against Popper to postulate something for which there is currently no evidence (the search for exoplanets was started before there was evidence of them) - you would have to postulate something that cannot, in principle, be empirically determined (such as p-zombies) to violate the falsifiability principle (if that's what your specific issue is here.) Such hypotheses are not outside of science; they are an essential part of it, and some unspecified part of scientific spending is effectively spent on generating them.

On the other hand, as Hossenfelder has pointed out [1], falsifiability is a low bar. In the case of shadow life, it is reasonable to ask both how it could remain isolated and why have we not noticed it yet.

Is there a way to limit who can join the server that I choose to host?
The problem is in the perspective.

Imagine a person with a very unhealthy lifestyle giving sound, correct, health advice.

While the advice itself is correct, the fact that this person lives a very unhealthy lifestyle shows that the root of the problem is somewhere else.

Ad hominem is about the logic of an argument. The parent said something quite precise - "[she] is pretty low on the list of people Ill take climate change advice from" - he didn't say that she's wrong.

I totally support that argument. There are surely plenty of people with a significantly lower global impact, that can give advice that is correspondingly more effective.
That would not work in the same way as a typical gauge theory though - typically the symmetry of a gauge is for shifts of the entire system along the gauge - changes along the gauge locally do have physical meaning. For example, in an electrical diagram you can arbitrarily shift every voltage in the system by a billion Volts (ground rail is 1b Volts, 5V rail is 1b+5V, etc) and the system will behave identically. The gauge quantity is real and not redundant, it’s just that it doesn’t have a known meaningful absolute reference point.
I spent a few months in northern India. Unless you mean way up in the Himalayas northern india is still a lot hotter and more humid than Europe and almost anywhere in North America.
I can imagine this being useful for people new to programming. I've seen plenty of times where students get overwhelmed with all of the different keywords/syntax they just learned and don't know where to apply it. Being able to give a list of possible actions available from the current node(?) could be a huge help.
Another good one. From what I've heard, he was a good pilot. The switch was mounted in an awkward and non-standard position. (Behind the pilot's seat, I think?)

Aside from the downdraft issue, running out of gas at altitude in VMC can be very interesting, but it doesn't have to be fatal. Even in heavily-forested areas, in a small plane you can put out the barn doors and decrease your horizontal speed quite bit, especially with a headwind.

We had a guy in Virginia in the 90s, I think. He was a student-ish pilot in a 150 that ended up in IMC (fog) in the heavily-wooded mountains while running out of gas.

He slowed the plane down as much he could, somehow kept the wings level, and ended up on somebody's back deck. Walked away. That's not guaranteed, of course, but in general planes are crash-rated based on flying directly into something. It's the failure to maintain control that kills many times more than the crash itself. Heck, they used to have shows where people crashed planes on purpose.
You can get AArch64 in Amazon EC2 by the way… up to 16 A72 cores, which is nice.

They knew about it long before that even. That carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, and questions about our use of fuels that produce it were raised in the late 1800 hundreds. Climate change is a problem that has been ignored for over 120 years. they had some better excuses for ignoring it in the past, but this is not a new problem. It should have been solved in the past, and not solving it now will lead to disaster.

Development speed is important. You can use the most reliable thing in the world if it takes a day to test/build/deploy.

And simple imperative script is a lot more readable than a custom DSL with who knows what ruby hooks.

Currently the CM system that makes sense on the long run is a git repo for Terraform. (Because everything else runs in containers anyway, and to set up the immutable images you don't need "state management". And where you need it you need active state management such as k8s and its specific operators.)
> Most of your argument is about motorized vehicles, not bicycles

They are the same thing.

Bicycles have wheels, they should be on the streets.

> Cities with lots of steps or staircases are only accessible for pedestrians, but no one else.

And that's good!

BTW, you can walk the bike.

Just like you do when you have to jump on a train or take the subway.

If you're talking about accessibility in general, that's a whole other problem.

Bike lanes on sidewalks aren't accessible either, there are deaf pedestrian, blind pedestrians, handicapped pedestrians, that are put at risk by sharing the same space with bikes.

> I guess it depends a lot on what you consider "bikers"

[1] is very young
[2] is expert bikers, people that dresses for biking

the percentage of the population that can bike regularly in a large city is quite small and Copenhagen is a very small city.

The point is that you don't solve anything with bikes, just like you don't solve anything with skates, kick scooters and whatever you are thinking of

You're over optimizing for a small percentage of the population.

You solve a lot by removing cars from the streets (think about underground parking lots) and giving way more space to walking lanes, hardly separated from wheeled vehicles (cars, public transport, motorbikes, bycicles, whatever...)

If you improve the walkability, you also improve the mobility: people can easily switch from bike, walking the bike for a bit on a sidewalk, take the public transport, get off, walk a bit more, jump on the bike again.

If you cannot walk easily, safely and fast, you're packing pedestrian on very small areas, you're making their journey uncomfortable and leaving them at the mercy of wheeled vehicles, because they can be obviously faster and demand precedence.

And those who use a vehicle are encouraged to leave it very close to where they are going, because walking, even a little bit, is painful.

That's how we end up with cars parked in handicapped spots or on double lines or on the sidewalks or bikes chained to school gates or road signs or bus stops as you can see in cities like Milan [1] (where they use the bike a lot)

Ironically the road sign in the picture says "bikes chained here will be removed"

The majority of people in large cities walks, even if you don't notice it, even in cities terrible for walking like Rome, it's what people are good at.

3 suggestions from tinkering for a few minutes:

1. On the home page, the button label "Get Early Access" and form "Ping me when it launched" make it like a landing page and waiting list. Make the sign up button more clearly a sign up button and either remove or clarify the "Ping me" part.

2. Once I sign up, give me read-only access to 1 or 2 fake projects that are fully populated, or at least show skeleton placeholder data on my first new project. Basically, let me see what I'm missing interactively so I want to add my own data.

3. I think I'd have been more likely to watch the intro video if I could do so after I'd seen the actual app -- that is, linked to on the app dashboard, either instead of or in addition to asking before I'd seen the app. I could see just embedding the intro video below the empty dashboard as long as the user only has empty projects.

Hope this helps!

This is a great summary. Someone suggested to me this book but , in reading this summary, I now realize that this book is just a regurgitation of the neo liberal manifest destiny.
One must only look at climate change for an example of what the parent commenter is talking about, I think.
Not talking about meat vs vegetables being better or not but do you think that vegetables aren't factory produced? Do you think that fruits and vegetables aren't picked before fresh and sprayed with chemicals to make them the 'right' color or slow ripening or keep them from spoiling? There is also the often un-talked about issue of calorie density by weight or volume. All these things need shipped from where they are grown to your store/house. Meat is generally 10 times more calorie dense. So to ship the same calories we would need 10 times the trucks which would have a huge CO2 implication. Fruits and vegetables have tons of fiber and water which are good for us but it costs to ship them. The only way to make fruits and vegetables more weight/volume dense and reduce the fiber would be to blend them up into something akin to a smoothie. But then this will require more chemicals to keep it fresh. Also, I don't want to eat all my vegetables as a liquid so....

In the end, there are hugely interconnected issues and most people take one small facet, extrapolate it to infinity and ignore all the ripple effects and consequences of even the smallest change.
I personally found Sapiens to be just like this blog post.

It seemed to gloss over major historical factors in a way that presented them as accepted wisdom. This often hides implicit assumptions about those historical factors that reinforce modern systems.

I just didn't find Sapiens to be that interesting once it got out of discussions about pre-history. The rest of it's views on human development seem to really be focused on explaining the "rightness" of how we currently already see the world. I'm probably not explaining myself well here.

The overwhelming praise for Harari also makes me suspect. The people praising Sapiens are people that I don't trust. So...yeah, that's me being a weirdo.
