Infection is one aspect. Another aspect is the battery system that powers the implant, they're usually implanted in the chest with a wire that goes up the neck to the skull. There was a case[1] where tension developed over that wire, leading to pain, immobility and destruction of the connection in brain tissue:

> Steve had the surgery at Stanford, in November, 2012. After the surgery, he had “severe cognitive decline” and a slew of physiological adversities. “The leads [wires] were 18 inches longer than they needed to be, so they coiled it up in the chest and at the top of the head; I could feel them externally,” he says. “And the leads were too tight. I could move my ear and my chest would move, too,” he says of a condition called “bowstringing,” whereby scar tissue encapsulates the wires (partly from the body’s natural response to foreign material), which has been documented in DBS cases and can cause permanent complications. Steve also had many symptoms that were ultimately diagnosed as shoulder and jaw muscle atrophy, spinal accessory nerve palsy and occipital nerve palsy. He reported all adverse effects immediately and continuously throughout the first year of the study, but the trial doctors continually told him that they’d never heard of such symptoms with DBS, even though nerve damage and DBS wire-related “hardware” complications were among the potential risks listed on the informed consent document.

Because they're relatively experimental, it's almost impossible to find a doctor/surgeon/etc that will choose to work on you should you run into complications. If you have problems with the programming of the devices themselves, there isn't much you can do as a patient, and even specialists can't help you. The only people who can help you are those who developed the device. That can be a problem for a device that's meant to remain implanted until death. Removal is also a huge issue, because brain tissues grow on and around the implants. There are people who want their implants removed, but can't find a doctor who is willing to remove them because of the potential for brain injury and the resulting liability.

They can also cause personality changes, suicidal behavior and even homicidal behavior[4]. There are documented cases of increased impulsivity and impaired executive function, which have led to pathological gambling and shopping. Breakdowns of relationships and the ability to work are also documented[3].

Here's an article on the subject[1], and there are numerous studies that look into such effects, like this one[2] that aggregates dozens of studies.

I recently wrote a somewhat performant react-virtualized[0] list for a project at work, though it's definitely a bit trickier in plain HTML/JS.

As far as the XUL virtualized tree goes, a couple of Mozilla engineers wrote some examples using plain html/javascript + DOM node manipulation[1]. While promising, I can't imagine that this implementation could ever be as fast as the compiled C++ one[2].

Arguably, from a type-radical perspective, this is often because types were not specific enough. In the first case, the problem is quite obvious from the fact that genAp doesn’t ask for Gen t (or something else that would guide it into generating forms of t). (Of course, Haskell’s type-system and libraries are not at the level of expressiveness to make perfect type signatures always easy)

Now, in the second case, the problem IMO is mixed logic/duplication in ‘maybe spawn (killThread $> spawn) oldId‘. How about ‘ forM_ oldId killThread’, followed by spawn?
Yes, you might be on something here. Tried to reflect back on it after reading your comment, and I think I "feel" content with my current writing speed.

I suspect a better measure of technical proficiency is the ability to shape the technology to reflect your own needs. That could happen at a much lower level on the Commodore 64 since it was a much simpler machine, yet that should not invalidate the proficiency of a JavaScript programmer simply because they work at a much higher level.

Put in other terms, even those who absorbed the Commodore 64 programmer's guide didn't truly understand the machine. They may have known how to write software for it and even how to exploit the various chips, but that manual only provided surface level details about the electronics.
Not only that, but influenced the development of operating systems like GCOS (which predated it as GECOS), which is still being used.

Personally I've struggled with some RSI. Fortunately I've figured out a good way to manage it, but the thought of loosing my ability to type terrifies me. I could see a mature version of this technology being safe and common enough to be an elective thing; then I wouldn't have to worry about hurting my hands!

I think it's more akin to putting out a structure fire with water. You stop the immediate threat and save lives and some property.

And while some property damage will result because it's all getting soaked, it's still better to have something left than nothing, and while an un-burnable building would be nice, it doesn't exist yet.

Qualitatively, every choice is equal, because a qualitative argument can't distinguish between a big problem plus a small benefit and a big benefit plus a small problem. Quantitatively, you can make rational decisions. So, the answer to your questions are, "how much will building more reactors increase the accident risk," and "how much nuclear waste will be produced in the course of normal operation?"
Isn't this more of a continuation of the Snow Slab theory? They set up the tent for the night and the high winds dislodged the slab and caused it to smash into the tent, forcing the students to cut their way out and seek alternate shelter. The bit about the students trying to shovel snow on top of the tent that they had just cut up in an attempt to stabilize it is dubious IMHO. Plus if they had time to dig snow they had time to grab their coats and boots. The reason they ran away in their night clothes is because they thought they were about to be hit by a real avalanche and also their gear was buried under a huge clump of snow.

The rest of the story about how one set of students tried to build a fire out in the open but it wasn't enough to save off the freezing wind and the other group tried to build a biovac out of a snowbank and were crushed when it collapsed is completely plausible. It even makes sense if they thought the slope was about to avalanche, it would be too risky to try to go back and retrieve the gear, even as they were literally freezing to death.
Sorry, I meant “elementary”, as in “fundamentally” or “irreducibly”.
For a "Better C" language, that would be wonderful.

For my Haskell ideas, generating Haskell from headers automatically feels like the best route. Especially if it's configurable to some degree. It's common that you can better type a C API with Haskell than C ever could. Usually with techniques like IO, phantom types, GADTs, and the new linear types.

The $3 Dating App
This is a wider excerpt:

"When she was in her teens, her father decided to move the family to the United States, where they suffered a financial reversal she was unwilling to talk about. Suddenly not among the moneyed class, she hustled herself through the redbrick boondocks of the University of Vermont. Citibank internship led to a Deutsche Bank job, and after a few years she was an equity derivatives trader at Deutsche, holding her own against the toff sharks of the City of London.

She had wild green eyes, with unnatural red spots in her irises when you pulled close, reminiscent of that Afghan girl from the National Geographic cover. Her personality was flinty and rough, and as leathery as her skin. She had spent years between various jobs backpacking around the rougher parts of the world. She was an imposing, broad-shouldered presence, six feet tall in bare feet, and towering over me in heels.

Most women in the Bay Area are soft and weak, cosseted and naive despite their claims of worldliness, and generally full of shit. They have their self-regarding entitlement feminism, and ceaselessly vaunt their independence, but the reality is, come the epidemic plague or foreign invasion, they’d become precisely the sort of useless baggage you’d trade for a box of shotgun shells or a jerry can of diesel.

British Trader, on the other hand, was the sort of woman who would end up a useful ally in that postapocalypse, doing whatever work- be it carpentry, animal husbandry, or a shotgun blast in someone's back- required doing. Long story short, you wanted to tie your genetic wagon to the backing horse of her bloodline. Which is why I was less nervous than I should have been on a random Saturday in July..."

So it's a passage in a (novel? Definitely a literary piece anyway) where, in order to better sing the praise of one particular woman, she is compared to another common type in the same environment. All clearly point of view of a narrator (who might or might not be the author). If these are the parameters, we should throw in the bin almost all literature, from men and women alike.
When the "different opinion" involves proclaiming that a whole class of your fellow workers are "soft, weak and full of $#!+" then yes, you should be resolutely excluded from positions of authority since you have willingly forfeited the kind of trust that's required for any such role. Let this guy stay in a pure engineering/IC role if he wants, but he should not be in a management position.

Good points.

> I disagree with you about the concept of smartwatches that should be "thin terminals." The things I don't miss about my Pebble classic involve how basic it was.

Let me restate this. Unless the watch is a phone replacement (including just part of the time), I think it is a waste making them more expensive and more power hungry. I can agree that the use-case of not carrying my phone around would make the "fat" smartwatch reasonable (or if it tied to a 3d headset or something for better consumption - stream netflix on wifi).

> The things I don't miss about my Pebble classic involve how basic it was.

I think the Pebble classic is not a good example of what a modern low power smart watch could do -- something that could offload everything to the phone and acts just like a display and input device.

For a thin-watch, I love that even my ancient pebble classic can answer phone calls (with BT earbuds in), display text messages, and control music playing (volume/skip/pause). I get so many spam calls now, i can instantly check on my wrist if it is someone i know and silence it otherwise.
Puerto Rico has its own tax system that you can elect instead of the United States Federal Income Tax. For some people this can result in a significant tax savings.

>our city is a one party town so we have to operate with in that party

I think that matters less than you might think.

Most decisions of any import are done by city and county staff, a few by appointed organizations like planning commissions (usually filled with yet more activists, each with their own activist kink), and finally an elected official(s) who spends most of their time handing out awards and declaring civic festivals.

Then we get to argue whether they'd pay the U.S., the UN, or... some other entity. Naturally the U.S. gets to tax space access by U.S. businesses, but let's not kid ourselves, it'd be just a tax and wouldn't benefit the public consumer of space-based networking nor SpaceX's competitors. An auction would be a lot like a tax where you can lose the opportunity, and where the tax can be upbid a great deal.

No, sorry, I think as long as SpaceX continues to work to lower costs and increase access then to get in their way would be a terrible mistake.
tldr; lots of meme coin projects sent their LP tokens (https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-liquidity-provider-tokens...) to Vitalik’s (ETH founder) address as proof they wouldn’t “rug pull” the project by removing liquidity and dumping all their coins.

Vitalik today then used the LP tokens to remove liquidity and sell all of the meme coins on the same decentralised exchanges, crashing the price in the process.

I believe he donated the proceeds plus the remaining meme coins but that should be fact checked. The meme coin financial values are now significantly less because of the large sells by Vitalik.

There isn’t much liquidity available to sell more of them on decentralised exchanges so you would have to sell the remainder on centralised exchanges currently.
These are all really good, creative ideas!
FWIW, llvm-mca estimates 448 clock cycles per 100 iterations of the AVX2 loop vs 528 cycles for the AVX512 loop with `-mcpu=cascadelake`. That suggests the AVX512 loop should be about 2*(448/528)=1.85 times faster.
Probably not a practical one, for the same reasons that discourage CSS polyfills. I think this feature is aimed not at developers who have to support legacy browsers but those who want to use newer CSS standards in self updating browsers without having to wait for the laggards. Safari is (was?) often criticized for being very slow to implement adopted CSS standards so that might have been the impetus. Once Houdini Paint/Layout/Animation APIs lands and enough clients update, devs can switch to Houdini and use any new/experimental CSS standards that has an open source implementation.
Two things jump out at me

1, you set yourself up to fail by not having a web version

2, and again you're setting yourself up to fail by limiting your users to a location based service, open it up

Constructive criticism:

Launch a web version, allow your users to interact with each other regardless of location, your URL is confusing with the two lls as well.

You're right. This was a few years ago, so well after 2010.

And yes, I'd say credit as well for the layout code, not blame. I wasn't knocking the code - for that era sparse arrays + DOM stuff were pretty common approaches and there didn't exist better web tooling than that.

It's only been the last few years I'd say where the optimization quality (on the engine side) and API support has been good enough to justify this sort of approach ofjust plumbing your own graphics pipeline on top of the web.

That was a spidermonkey issue. I treat that experience more as a lesson in how obscure corner cases left as perf cliffs never stay obscure corner cases, and always get exercised, and you can't afford to ignore them for too long.
It’s been interesting to see how the Israel/Palestine conflict falls outside the normal lines of left/right divide. You’d expect most of the lefties to side with the Palestinians since they’re the most analogous to the protected groups these people are usually so concerned with. But it turns out if you’re a leftie who happens to also be Jewish, you’re far more likely to support government violence than your political views might suggest.

What's interesting about that? Higher up the stack, trustlessness is not compelling at all - if I'm transacting with you on the scale of six-plus figures, I absolutely won't transact with someone I don't trust, and anonymity is a defect - I want to know who you are so I can sue you if our deal goes sideways.

As far as I can tell, it seeps into schools because well-intentioned educators are seeking an alternative to the failed program of "colorblindness" which persisted for decades and raised generations of privileged people who think racism was eradicated in the late 1960s. And young people are themselves actively interested in repudiating and reversing the mistakes of their elders.

Maybe it's an extreme reaction. Critical race theory is certainly an extreme way of looking at the world if you take it literally and not as a thought experiment. But I just see it as a swing of the pendulum. I wish people wouldn't get "canceled" over it, but I don't think it's the slippery slope to Maoism that people seem to think it is.

So, do these operate on the same design principles as the various Gen 2 reactor designs that have been involved in nuclear accidents, e.g. Three Mile Island, or Fukushima? I raise this question not out of an anti-nuclear hysteria, but a wondering if the safety issues that seem inherent in those designs are addressed in these micro-reactor designs.

I'm not particularly worried about shutdown mechanisms, but more so about containment of decay heat after an emergency shutdown event. By my understanding, our current reactor designs still produce decay heat for a time after shut down, and that heat still needs to be dealt with. And it was this decay heat and the failure to control it that lead to the Three Mile Island and Fukushima incidents.

Decay heat isn't a concern for naval reactors because 1) they're much smaller than a commercial power reactor, with order(s) of magnitude less output, and 2) they have the ocean to use as a heat sink to prevent overheating. Micro-reactors probably also have the first advantage, with outputs ranging from 1-20 MW. However, 60-1200 kW is still not as easily shrugged off when you don't have an ocean to dump heat into. IME, 60-1200kW is enough to heat steel, if not to melting, to certainly a loss of strength, and that does give me some worry about damage to containment.

So I guess my main concern is thus: Are these things being designed to be able to safely shed their worst-case heat completely passively in an emergency?

If so, awesome, and I look forward to the possibilities these designs open up.

Nuclear is perfect for district heating. Thermal power plants have poor efficiency because of the need to convert thermal energy into electricity. You basically get a whole load of waste heat. If you do need the waste heat then you can't beat thermal power plants.
