>No more broken than mmap of nfs.

Right, I get that's what you meant, it doesn't seem to really change much versus NFS, or DCOM, or whatever. So it's unclear what benefit is being provided by 9p here.

Also upon further research I am not sure what you mean by this is the only option, plan9 seems to suggest use of channels for other types of IPC interfaces, which seem to not be the same as 9p and are not necessarily network serializable. (Or are they?)

guess the reasoning is that there is a lot less attack surface when used in a way where number of apps is reduced to 2-3 (I have such a set-up and for my purpose even an older non-smart motorola flip phone would do the trick).

as soon as I want to do video calls at reasonable speeds, it's probably in my interest to have moderately new hardware and chipsets supporting things like beamforming or other things that only more recent hardware can give me. but even here my 8 yro phone does everything I want it to so that argument kicks only in for truly ancient hardware (e.g. LTE support etc)

How many generations are even left before we don't have anymore humans?

I'd wager we're 20 - 30 years out from regenerative cloning, and 50 - 75 out from reproductive cloning. We could start that process today if we weren't so squeamish.

ML is coming to a head, and we'll potentially have machines that outclass us in basic tasks in 25 - 50 years. Within 200, I'd say the human experiment is at an end.

What then? Either we evolve along with our machines, we become one with the machines, or the machines take over.

We're living in the last stages of the human species right now, and not many people think to contemplate that and integrate it into their worldview.

Climate, space exploration, etc. is all incredibly human-centric. Fighting for resources, defining legacies, ... I mean, it's what we as humans do. One day it'll just suddenly end, and it's probably only a handful of generations until the pieces fall into place.
It could be. I have twice been burned by LineageOS. I wanted a deGoogled Android phone, but the only LineageOS-supported models that were available in my region, and which I could afford, had been initially released already 1.5–2 years before. Not only was my new phone soon abandoned by the manufacturer, it was also suddenly dropped by LineageOS after only about a year of my owning it.

The prospect of truly long-term support for years and years is one reason I bought a PinePhone and have been keeping track of its development. But sadly the current PinePhone has too ancient and underpowered a CPU to be useful.

> Technically, these drivers aren't even employed by Amazon, but by roughly 800 companies, known as delivery service partners that operate out of Amazon delivery stations

This surprised me the first I heard it.

The Amazon delivery vans you see are actually just independently owned businesses that are doing deliveries for Amazon, under the Amazon branding. I'm not familiar with the details, but I'm guessing it's similar to how you might franchise a chain restaurant, where the franchise imposes rules / requirements on franchisees.

So, when Amazon is "installing cameras in its delivery vans", it really means they're requiring 800 independently owned businesses to install cameras and force (non-Amazon) employees to comply.

It may not be correct, but it may be correct

Your statement "If it has an answer" only holds if you say that any truth science can't prove doesn't exist

But this isn't true. See Halting problem etc. There are things for which the answer can exist & yet be undeterminable

This is fine. I prefer to look at it this way: science is searching out a subset of knowable truths. The origin of the universe is interesting only insofar as we can dredge up relevant information, but coming up with an origin story or not isn't what proves the validity of science

Science isn't about getting all the answers, it's about getting the answers right & at it's best admitting when we got the answers wrong

When someone asks "If God doesn't exist what created the universe?" I say "I don't know, I don't care"

I'm not a pro but here are my two cents.

The benefit, and really the point of unsafe, is to encapsulate the unsafe stuff behind safe APIs and to use Rust's other features, like the borrow checker for example, to enforce correct usage of such API.

Ex.:
I was using nanovg (vector graphics library in C) to build a GUI app some day. I was using Rust and a bare-bones FFI library that provided a 1:1 mapping to the C API. On top of this unsafe C-API, I built a wrapper library in safe Rust that doesn't allow me to use nanovg incorrectly. And not in the use-after-free sense of incorrect (that too), but instead in the "you can't call this function between these other two, that's undefined / will produce unexpected graphical results".

So the power of unsafe is to encapsulate "unsafe" behaviour and to enrich it with compile-time information, to build guarantees around it.

> I'm aware of wealthy families wanting the voucher to throw toward private schools (they were never going to send their kids to public schools regardless).

The people rich enough to pay for private school tuition without any government subsidy have their own neighborhoods with their own school districts, where everyone else in the district is also that rich and sends their kids to private school and the property taxes are correspondingly less or spent on other things. They've already solved it for themselves.

The people who want school vouchers are the people who want to get into those schools but don't have the money to pay for it after the government takes it from them in property taxes and refuses to let them use it for anything other than sending their kids to a bad school district.

> Then there are the conservatives that dislike public schools because the teachers are in a union, or they believe teachers are liberals, or that they indoctrinate their kids into anit-Capitlist thinking, etc....

These are just specific examples of things that cause a school district to be low quality, e.g. when unions prevent bad teachers from being fired, and cause parents to want a way out of the broken system for their kids.

> Or was it the de-leveraging of the banks, credit default swaps, derivatives and other shady practices by Wall Street?

Recall that all of those things were justified on the basis of "increasing liquidity" etc., i.e. making it easier to own a home, and that their consequence was "give mortgages to everybody regardless of whether they can afford it" because if the bank was going to sell the mortgage to someone else as a derivative or use a CDS then they didn't care if the borrower could pay it back.

The article mentions the Damore incident but doesn't capture the essence of the war. It wrongly draws many self-aware groups whereas it's really two, marxists and lulzites, fighting a war for territory on top of everyone's homes, randomly causing a bit of allegiance to whoever was winning in their area.

Gamers aren't a coherent group or right wing in general (think of the ages...) but "their side" (the side trampling on them) is anti-left, so the gamers were lumped together and drawn on the right. The 'Autism Spectrum' is the most "centrist" I've ever seen, but because the left uses them to launch its attacks from they're drawn as 'left territory'.

Specifically, the Neuro-divergent group isn't an active group, kind of by its nature. ND people on the map are more of a victim pool who just get picked on because they're easy to maneuver into mistakes. Like the whole Damore incident was Google saying "Does our HR policy look fat" and only James was tricked into engaging. He was more a convenient scapegoat to hurt to consolidate their power than he was an ideological enemy.

Certain groups have all-or-nothing ideological traps laying around everywhere and I think it's that these groups, like armies using landmines in areas with children, are especially harmful to societal non-combatants.

OS security patches are less of a concern for older devices because the majority of the OS was still moved into Google Play Services and as long as the apps are still updated (eg, Chrome), the risk is very low.

I dislike both behaviours.

I prefer that if the scheme is not entered, it is treated as a relative URL. (I have managed to customize Firefox to do this.)

I also dislike the way "secure contexts" work entirely. Whether or not those features are enabled should depend on whether or not the user enabled them, not on whether or not the site uses HTTPS.

(I also think that a better web browser should be made, which would be mostly rewritten entirely rather than using the existing browsers, since they have so many problems.)
> GPUs can now basically do out-of-order execution using dynamic warp formation and driver-based prediction and optimization.

That's... not OOE.

If you have:

add [eax], ebx
add ecx, edx

A CPU can execute "add ecx, edx" before the "add [eax], ebx" (especially if the [eax] memory read/write is far away: like in DDR4 or worse).

A GPU will ALWAYS execute the 1st line before the 2nd line. Dynamic warp formation means that SIMD-lanes can split-up in your warp, but none of the warp is executing anything out-of-order.

> Branch prediction is useless in massively parallel workflows, because of linearization.

Stockfish NNUE argues otherwise. Only part of the network updates at any given time. Its a massively-parallel problem, but you need dynamic / branch prediction to see which parts of the Neural-Net are actually updating.

The idea of CPU-designed networks (Neural Nets that PARTIALLY update, instead of a GPU-network that updates entirely) is intriguing to me. There might be other situations where branch prediction is helpful in other largely parallel problems.

----------

> And in any case, OOE for SIMD instructions loses a lot of it's usefulness on many workflows.

More like the SIMD offers enough parallelism to saturate the machine. But NNUE really shows where OOE / branch prediction can suddenly become unexpectedly helpful.

Classic SIMD algorithms do not account for branch prediction / OOE benefits. The very existence of high-speed SIMD + OOE + branch prediction is an unexplored part of computer science IMO.

> All the end user device needs is a connection to the internet once per 90 days. The vast majority of networks have sufficient network connectivity for this.

I'm no expert on long-tail use cases, but I'd imagine that most networks either have internet connectivity or they don't. I can't think of many situations where you'd only have internet once every 90 days.

Of course one could argue that 90 days long is enough so an employee could go around with a memory stick and manually copy the certificate to every device - which is theoretically possible but sounds like a ridiculous thing to do just to keep a web interface workable. (And even then, you'd somehow need a unique certificate for every device)

In American English (and I’m pretty sure British English too), America generally means the USA. And we don’t consider North and South America to be a single continent. If you want to refer to both you should say the Americas.

If you use the world America without other context, the lister will assume you are talking about the country and won’t even consider you mean North and South America combined.

I know some cultures consider the Americas to be a single continent. But that’s odd. They are arguably less combined than Europe, Asia, and Africa are.

It's simple but can be very impractical. I grew in Tampa, FL (about 20 mins from Pasco county).

Much of the state is suburban hell and requires a car to get anywhere. Entire cities are designed to not be walkable. Public transit is even worse, to give an example how bad it can be. When I was in college it took my 2-hours taking the bus versus a 20 minute car ride.

Now imagine that you have an average school with average facilities, how are you going to transport kids to and from school afterhours? What if you need to use facilities at another location because the nearest park is a 10-minute drive away?

I know the org Strong Towns is very popular on here, and I think we are going to start to see how costly suburban planning is going to become within the next decade.
Alpha should be risk adjusted (a la Sharpe/Sortino), but broadly your answer is correct. Current Fed policies punish those who don’t take risk, by design. Hedge funds (in theory - ahem) are structured to maximize risk adjusted profits. But if there’s no risk, because the Fed has made it so, then there is nothing for hedge funds to do but accept the new casino world for what it is: play along and hope that the Fed can control whatever comes our way. It’s a fools errand to hedge...until it isn’t.
I don't know much about training, so I can't comment on which methods work best like other commentators. But I can confirm that anecdotally obedience training, at least in some forms, is like magic.

We adopted a shelter dog, so she came with a slew of emotional scars. She started showing signs of potential aggression, and apparently was on her "third chance" from the shelter already. We didn't want her to have to go back yet again, nor did we want to risk anyone or her getting hurt. So we searched around and found a trainer.

Again, I don't know what "method" this trainer used. But it was a single (expensive) session, 1.5hrs long, in our home with a former K-9 trainer. Afterwards it was like flipping a light switch on her. She no longer barked/growled/lunged at passersby or even other dogs. She's perfectly calm around other aggressive dogs. She won't leave or enter through doors without our permission. We can stop her dead if she chases after an animal in the backyard.

And it's not just us; our vets continually re-affirm how much better behaved she is while with them.

All that after one session and continued re-enforcement from us.

We also crate trained her, so sleep isn't an issue. That was another amazing transformation; going from crying all night to getting up and leaving the couch for her crate when it's past her bedtime and looking back at us like "you guys going to bed or what, geez!"

As for separation anxiety, which she definitely has, I came up with my own technique for that. First, we stopped crating her when we left. It caused her too much anxiety. But that didn't help completely. People suggested playing music, but that just made her more anxious as well. As did giving her treats before leaving. The thing that really worked: before we leave I just talk to her and tell her that we're leaving, tell her if we'll be back "soon" or "later", and tell her she's a good girl.

It's weird, but after a couple times, it now works like a charm. She definitely doesn't like it, but she immediately settles down and lets us leave without trouble. And she doesn't wreck the house while we're gone.

I'm not sure how much of what I say she "understands", or what part of my magical incantation is actually salient. She has an incredibly accurate sense of time, so I figured she might be able to correlate "soon" or "later" to how long we're gone. Hopefully that's communicating some expectations to her that help her be less anxious.

It's amazing the transformation a little training can do. To go from an aggressive shelter dog on her third lease on life, to one of the better trained puppies we know is an incredible journey.
