Yes I wanted to go back and edit my post to clarify my "pretty much all" statement to state that I mean pretty much all the popular consumer and "stylish mobile workstation" 15" models with 45W CPUs are like this.

It is possible to buy thicker/bulkier laptops that do a much better job at passive cooling and so don't get so loud.

Personally I prefer the lighter/slimmer laptops for easier portability and am fine with the trade off of them being louder and thermal throttling a bit under load but I appreciate not everyone feels the same as me.

> The effect is that out of the box a 1 MB region size will be used, while for the fixed heap case the region size will be 2 MB. It might sound like a small difference, but the benchmark uses a significant amount of large objects that need special treatment when using 1 MB regions. This special treatment leads to a lot of memory that can’t be used, which in turn leads full collections and a poor overall experience.

This means the same problem as before can be observed, you'll just need slightly bigger objects to get there.

> If you throw away real numbers, then you lose major things in physics. I think for example you lose the wave function in QM.

Then again, have you ever observed a non-computable number as a component of the value of a wave function in nature? Real numbers add a lot of cruft which can never be practically observed (due to not being computable).

One of the main reasons we lose things is that our results have been built upon the real numbers since they were easier to conceptualize and to work with, but it's possible that a lot can be recovered (maybe even everything we care about) using only the computable numbers. For instance, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computable_analysis for some results in recovering analysis (limits, differentiation, integration, etc) using the computable numbers.

I said snarky and irritating, not arrogant. Here are some examples of what I mean:

- (I predict the USA will merrily go its own way and faceplant, unless y'all elect a competent next POTUS. Or VPOTUS, insofar as Biden appears to be past it and Pence is incompetent at anything but arse-licking.)

- Extra lulz in the UK: the Prime Minister is out of hospital but hasn't been seen since Monday—my guess is he's hors de combat for at least another two weeks. A quarter of the senior ministers of state are rabid objectivists who actively hate the poor and want them to die, and a majority of the cabinet are still going full steam ahead for a no-deal Brexit transition on January 31st, at which point the UK economy shrinks another 8% overnight.

Really unnecessary. Maybe there are interesting thoughts in this blog post, but adding stuff like this doesn't lend me to take you seriously.

The extreme differences in competencies between nations in dealing with the crisis, with the US near the bottom of the pack.

The Patriot Act has a sunset clause, but has been repeatedly extended, which no obvious sign of it ever not being extended.

The ability to change laws makes it easier for government's to sell these sorts of changes to their constituents ("it's only temporary") whilst knowing that it probably won't turn out to actually be temporary, because they can change something that is temporary into effectively permanent.

And how will the government deal with a fine non-payer who keeps their wealth in physical form? Say they have no money in the bank but keep gold bars in a stack under their bed. They barter for everything they need.

At some point it devolves to burly men with or without guns making people do things. Or women in this enlightened age. In practice it hopefully isn't a common thing but there has to be a level of physical compulsion backing up everything that communities don't enforce among each other anyway. A major job of people in Congress is to work out exactly what does happen when people refuse to comply and at some point it gets physical (quite quickly if someone is really bent on being uncooperative). Issues like that would be close to the top of every politicians's mind.

Not straightforward - somebody would have to decide when the emergency is over, which then becomes a political question.

And even if the emergency is not over in a year, it makes a lot of sense to reconsider if the measures (which were decided very quickly) are actually appropriate and necessary going forward. Hopefully a lot have been learned in a year.
Tell me more about the difference between "potential infinity" and "actual infinity".

Recursive functions in computer programming, or fractals in maths, are infinite but can be described. Each small part looks like the whole, but the whole can never be fully known within a finite universe. Is that "potential" or "actual" infinity?

I've been thinking a lot about infinity this past week, mostly because of Conway's lectures. I'm trying to figure out whether the following logic makes sense.

- Assuming that the universe is finite
-> Infinity cannot be approximated with finite numbers (MIP* = RE) [1]
-> Numbers cannot have infinite strings of digits
-> The future can never be perfectly preordained (Gisin) [2]
-> Free will exists (Conway) [3]

This is not a proof that free will exists! But I think this is a consistency proof that free will is finite.

Now you're telling me that there's another kind of infinity, and I want to know what that means for this thought.

This is pure FUD in my opinion. Arch has always run better on every computer I’ve owned, especially newer ones.

The people for whom Ubuntu works usually have fewer requirements or are not as particular about things working _just right_.

That’s not to say I haven’t had issues with Arch, but there were fewer and they were easier to figure out.

Now if you want a distro where you can update packages without manual intervention several times a year, then it’s probably best to look past Arch.
