Surprising myself, as a long time breve partisan and hater of all things coconut, I've fallen hard for heavy coconut cream and now homemade oatmeal milk.

I started making oatmeal "cream" at home as base for my smoothies. (Two birds, one stone.) Put oats, chia, honey, banana, water in vitamix. Frappe a bit. Walk the dog (about an hour). Voila, oatmeal cream. Then add the other ingredients as normal.

Dr Google says the enzymes break down the oatmeal. I have no idea how or why.

In pre-modern times rhetoric served a similar purpose. You had to devise a persuasive speech on any topic at the drop of a hat. You had to clear develop your arguments evidence. It was one of seven subjects in liberal higher education.
M1's awesomeness has almost nothing to do with the instruction set. AMD64 and ARM64 are very similar in terms of complexity.

M1's awesomeness has to do with:

- assembling a killer team
- 5nm process
- high speed, low latency DRAM
- big-little

The only substantive difference between the AMD64 and ARM64 instruction sets is that ARM64 has a more relaxed memory model.
I couldn't agree more. The US' spying changed world events, including the Iran hostage crisis..

Imagine how much better they could have done without overconfidence, tampering, and such jewels as Reagan colluding with Khomeini in order to secure his own election.

Virtually any behavior other than their sabotage using data that undermined internal trust in actual pro-democracy politicians would not have caused the Iranian switch to batshit crazy religious leadership as a J-curve defense to not be in Latin Americas situation.

The US is very happily winning a GDP points war that will end with our extinction, and any opposition will be tortured into submission.

People ask me why I don't get happier when one or the other of the American political parties is in office.. Even an idiot falling down the stairs isn't stupid enough to declare the flat of each step they hit their saviour.
I love it. Moore's Law has made SQLite pretty much the only database I ever use. It's always been relatively fast, but with today's CPUs and SSDs, it's fast enough for anything I need.

A decade or so ago, I might have installed MySQL or Postgres to do some log processing or something. I never bother any more. SQLite is just the perfect data tool. You can load it up with gigs of data and it flies.

I still discover little tweaks and features I didn't realize it had as well. It's just a really well done project.
One of the other important things about writing is not to let your opinions and conclusions get to your head. You're not some profound guru because you took 10 hours out of your life to figure out how some natural phenomenon works. You're also not someone even worthy of showing as a blip on the history books. You're just an average Joe.

i'd define identity and scope of my terms; here citizen, person and human, each with their aggregates and conglomerations in order to expand the question as far as seems reasonable to domain experts -- before looking for generics and other abstractions.

this would get me to a point where i could inquire into the meaning of organize .. in this case probably realizing that there's sufficient self-organization that i'd have to think about needs/support and self-emerging structures.

at that point we could look at how the situation differs from the understanding implied in the question.

its only after i get my and the questioner's terms and models straight that i could begin to define some kind of scale to deal with someone's idea of best in order to work on generating 'deliverables'.

at least for me its best to become an expert in the things i want to change before suggesting changes in or to them; if i don't do that, or start from or with any kind of enthusiasm engendered by the power vested in me by big questions, good outcomes tend to move toward the vanishing point instead of forming solid new baselines.

but thats what you're suggesting the questioner do by having them question the use of the subjective term 'best'. right? :)
I mean you have a point to supply chain and warehousing headache this law could involve if passed as is. But overall hardware development, certification and manufacturing in Europe is just as uneventful as anywhere else.

I've done hw development with teams on Taiwan, in Eastern and Northern Europe. We sell our products to all continents and are getting regional approvals as necessary. It is a barrier but rather uniform all over. Fact is hardware development and manufacturing is never going to be as forgiving or cheap as software. There is cost, permanence and obligations when you cross over into physical realm.
I knew from as far back as I can remember that I was totally different from most people. I always thought that most people were the same. I grew up stricken with independent mindedness. If you are smart enough to blend in despite having a completely different way of thinking then it would be ok but I am the kind of person who cannot hide what’s inside. It ruined my life. Most people live a life of luxury simply by the virtue of their brain. Even poor people have the ability to enjoy human connection with other people. That is luxury to me. Most people don’t even understand that something so fundamental can be absent, they don’t even know it exists as it’s own thing. Most people completely miss all the details. This essay really speaks to me.

In 2010 when I would try to explain what was going on with Tesla and who Elon musk was, literally nobody believed me, took me seriously or demonstrated any ability at all to think for themselves and come to the correct conclusion through the special combination of single minded intuition and logical deduction that is described in the essay. I noticed that people always reacted the same way, no matter where they came from, mentioning something about golf carts. There was an emotional component where when I would get close to making a breakthrough, an emotional wall would go up. This emotional wall was the same in everyone and it was a very strong pattern. Having an emotional disconnection with yourself is important to being able to believe things that are upsetting or having your world view tossed. It’s not a choice to be disconnected and for me it’s a medical thing.

Because of my insights about Tesla and other things related to my special way of thinking, I am retired. And I still say it isn’t worth it and I would give it all up to enjoy the amazing luxury of being a normal person.

Virtualization requires that you have a complete copy of the entire OS running, and all code execution is opaque to the host. That means all execution of code is just in time - because it's not native - and you can't have any part of virtualization running optimized arm code - because you're in a virtualized x86 box.

Translation on the other hand involves basically parsing the object files, finding entry points, translating those, and then occasionally jit compiling when the code was doing something funky so your entry points were wrong (think obfuscation, compilers written the night before a compiler assignment was due :D ). And of course JITs themselves.

JITs (especially self modifying ones) are a particular pain point for all engines be they virtualization or translation, because they necessarily require you to recompile or invalidate pretty much entire pages of compiled code. Unfortunately virtualizing a machine with a different instruction set gives you an opaque view of what is happening so takes all executed code far closer to the JIT/interpret only end of the spectrum.

So the end result of this is you get a much because resource impact - you've loaded a full clone of the OS on a virtualised machine, so you may not even be able to leverage hardware virtualization support (I imagine with some skullduggery it could be possible), and even if you could you now have duplicate page tables as well. Then you have the perf impact which is because the outside environment is opaque to the VM you lose a lot of your ability to rely on code not changing, or to perform any AOT work.

Now some of these may be mitigable, but at some point you have to ask why you would bother when translation has lower resource usage, higher performance, and can be made much more seamless.
I thought QEMU was supposed to be quite inferior in performance to KVM (though more flexible). Is that not the case? The link in the article just directed to the QEMU homepage.
No, I wasn't taking it as a personal attack.

> All matter in those 6.5 billion miles will be sucked into your passenger area of the warp bubble and decompressed back to Earth spacetime.

This presumes that we're doing the moving all in one big operation, doesn't it?

What if each nanosecond, the warp bubble is moving forward by a small fraction, slipping through without imparting any momentum on the matter it passes by.
So, the biggest question I have about all this eminently theoretical physics video thing is, has anyone ever managed to experimentally demonstrate you can __voluntarily__ bend the brane our reality resides on by any measurable amount, and also demonstrate this causes an actual translation in 3d space? At all? Ever?

Or are we conjecturing what would happen if this was even slightly viable?

We've only very recently managed to experimentally demonstrate that unimaginably huge cataclismic events can make this happen, but, has anyone ever built some device that can make a crease of any significance at all in reality, and do so at will?
Was that a full parallel build (using all available cores)?

An insightful related comment from /r/cars: https://www.reddit.com/r/cars/comments/k0sbdh/tesla_accused_...
The weird thing that some people don't realize here is that it is kind of already like that. The CPU speed increases every year or two went from orders of magnitude to maybe a hundred percent if you are lucky.

The biggest increase recently has been in cores. But still most games for example are heavily dependent on fast individual cores.

We are definitely seeing more emphasis on new techniques in AI and graphics and general computing that are more parallel. But also we have not come close to optimizing what can be done with the existing speed.

Of course, the computers have been getting faster steadily, just not as rapidly as the previous era.

We have not come close to what is possible with the new abundance of cores or the new AI-specifix hardware.

And 3D circuits have barely gotten started.
I guess the only argument I can make is that people who invest in companies like Tesla watch for this kind of thing. I am a backyard mechanic. Honda and Toyota both hold their value and that is for a reason. Tesla is shiny and new right now and popular but if people start to think of them as less then reliable that can cost them greatly. Suspension failing in 4 years tells me either poor design or poor material choice. Either way it was a bad choice however it got there. Is Tesla going to become the next Dodge and design everything to fail just outside of warranty? Although maybe not news worthy definitely of interest and being a new company deserve this kind of scrutiny. I remember but can not find the source way back Tesla was talking about a one price car where you just paid “x” dollars and he would worry about the insurance and maintenance I believe it was for 20years. Like a promise you pay us this much and as long as you don’t crash will get 20 years of driving or they will fix it. That is confidence in a product. Now I really wish I could find the article this was discussed.
You are reading the letter of the treaties but not their application.

The EU Parliament successfully leverages its powers in all sorts of ways. Simply stated: Council, Commission and Parliament have to work together, or nothing moves. Each element can block the others. This means that each element has an incentive to actually work with the others and give them what they want, to have any hope of "bringing home" something of what it wants.

If MEPs want something badly enough, they will get it, because otherwise they'll start sabotaging stuff Council (i.e. national governments) and Commission (the bureaucratic machine) care about, by wielding their veto powers and their electoral mandate.

Votes like this might not have an effect today, but they are part of a conversation that The Powers That Be (the Council) have to participate in. It states a political will that has to be somehow accomodated into the agenda, and it grants political cover for the Commission to put forward actual directives that the Council are not particularly interested in. It's basically like getting second base.

> Why wouldn't they? The usual rationale for rejecting R6RS is that it's somehow "too big". But Racket already has a library whose size blows R6RS out of the water. So this rationale is irrelevant in this context.

No one begrudges Racket for having a huge library. The Racket team have obviously had enormous success building large, comprehensive real-world systems.

But Racket is an implementation -- not the Scheme standard. The historic value of the Scheme standard is its smallness and ease of implementation -- a small base upon which to build large systems. Large, comprehensive implementations -- such as T -- have been built on top of this small basis for almost as long as there's been an RnRS.

R6RS represented a fundamental shift in philosophy for what is Scheme. It de-emphasized the "small language kernel" approach and emphasized a comprehensive, software-engineering approach for building "real world systems". But the Lisp community already has a comprehensive, software-engineering-oriented language, Common Lisp (which borrowed some of its best features, like lexical scoping, from Scheme). So what's the point of building Scheme into a large software-engineering language to compete with Common Lisp?

It's a bit hard to fathom today, when most modern programming languages -- excluding ECMAScript but including, for example, Rust -- are defined in terms of a single reference implementation, but there are advantages to keeping the language standard small while allowing implementations to grow to arbitrary size and accrete features. Advantages which Scheme has turned into its own little niche among the family of Lisp programming languages.

> And what is this "Scheme community" that rejected R6RS? It's always been my impression that it was rejected by authors of toy implementations.

Of course, because Gambit, Chicken, and Gauche -- among others -- are mere toys.

A toy implementation that implements all of R5RS is at least possible. You can't build a toy implementation of Common Lisp, Python, or Rust, that covers even a small fraction of the core language. But you can build a Scheme that's nearly or entirely R5RS-compliant in maybe a few thousand lines of C, and from there build out the language to incorporate Python- or Rust-like features. "Toy" Schemes can even be useful in production, as an embedded scripting layer to a larger system.
I think this is the right time.

Unions grow when there is disparity between companies exploiting employees. How else can you call companies like Amazon reaping fortunes but absolutely refusing to pay their employees.

I believe companies who earn well should be able to pay their workers enough to be able to afford very basic standard of living where they work.
It's also not going to go Amazon's way if no one has a job to pay for stuff.

I understand that cause of death is multivariable, like the complicated reduction in life expectancy due to poor habits, city smog, individual effects of smoking, etc. But if a person has heart disease and influenza on the table, shouldn't they statistically be worse off if covid might be in the mix as well? Regardless of which is written on the death certificate, the amount of supposed deaths 'caused' by covid even by minimal estimates should be significantly larger than the margin of error on death records we have. Total deaths per year ( including absolutely everything) 'only' totals 3 million which means 200k covid deaths is already 7% of that.

the reported differences are interesting no matter how you cut it, either covid isn't as bad, or it is bad and people aren't dying of certain other causes. Alternatively the US really sucks at counting.
