> This is an aside, but transmissions are often replaced by a dealer.

Really? I mean I know dealers do some transmission work, but everything I can tell says that transmissions generally will last far beyond the warranty.

By the time it is time to do something the car is on the 3rd owner. Very little of such work is done by the original dealer. (though in the case of some heavy trucks transmission wear is common enough that the dealer will automatically rebuild every single one they take in - but these are not the original manufacture dealers but an independent used dealer) Most will go to an independent transmission shop, even smaller dealers will take a car needing transmission work to an independent shop because that is specialty requiring training they don't give their mechanic.

Even at that, transmissions have enough non-wear parts that the manufacture will rebuild them in general. There is a reason when you buy a transmission from anyone there is a core charge: they send it back to be rebuilt.
As I understand it they have already borrowed around $1B, and now because of the lower interest rate, they are able to secure a bigger loan that they'll use to pay back the original and then still have a bucket of cash, at a lower interest.

I don't know about the US, but here in Denmark it has been a common "trick" in mortgage financing as the interest rate dropped over the last couple of decades.

But as with all taking on debt to pay off debt, it's like wetting yourself.

Patterns in Network Architecture

First published in 2007, Patterns... describes a kind of grand unification of network protocols, collapsing the fraught OSI model into a single, recursive layer. Notable features include: the unification of transport semantics, from TCP to UDP; the decimation of Internet routes through private-everywhere, topological addressing; the supplanting of URL and DNS with application names and a dynamic, distributed directory; elegant approaches to mobility and multicast/anycast; emergent security and DDoS mitigation; emergent throughput and connection scaling; a sophisticated approach to monitoring and management; and much more.

With the arguable failure of IPv6, the deepening swamp of IoT, and the now-leaning tower of HTTP-based transports, Patterns... illuminates a different path, one that can still be taken, both in the small and the large.

I made something similar to this several years ago, and it was pretty usable considering that the software was thrown together in Python and the display I had did not support partial refresh. I got it so I could run terminal applications nicely, and even run X applications poorly.

Age factor is absolutely real in well studied skills such as chess.

There are no instances of people starting to play chess after say age 25 and becoming a grandmaster say after 20 years at 45. Plenty of people who start at 10 or earlier and become grandmasters before 25.

Lack of deliberate practice is surely not the only explanation.

Starting at age 15 is already considered very late for chess. (Anecdata: I started at 10 and peaked at FM coming close to IM norm once)

Internet is awash with late bloomer examples in various fields (such as writing). However when you look closer you see that the persons in question had serious related practice at an earlier age..

I am yet to find an example of someone taking up a completely new skill after 40 and achieving notable greatness. Like champion of your city at tennis or master in chess, etc.

So my formula is skill = STARTING_AGE X coef1 + GENETICS X coef2+ DP X coef3

Only questions is what values to give coef1, coef2 and coef3

> It's always good to have more players in this game

I agree with your overall points but this but stood out to me because it's not clear if Bonsai uses its own rendering engine of it is just another reskin of Blink / Chromium. What we really need is more competition with browsers which use their own rendering engines. Or at the very least, more browsers using Gecko (Firefox). If this is another Chromium-based browser then it's still definitely good to see some new ideas in UI but we don't really see much other benefit having more players in the game.

What worries me the most is that this is closed source but presented as if it is open source. Their binaries are stored on Github but there's literally nothing in the repo aside a README (https://github.com/hyferg/bonsai-browser-public). This is of particular concern given the sensitive content that people use browsers for these days (banking, shopping, research on potentially sensitive topics, etc). It would be trivial for a malicious browser to do some real damage to people and there's no way to prove this browser's intentions are sincere given how little information (ie "none") is published about its developers or even the code.

I think you're possibly confused about what we're talking about here - those weren't restrictions on personal freedoms. A better analogy is blackout laws, which people railed against in the exactly the same way as lockdown laws. But obviously those powers went as soon as possible - literally the day Hitler died in fact.
There are no high frequency signals in the brain. It's all relatively slow electro-chemical reactions.

There are however a huge number of slow signals running in parallel. In total these would add up to a huge bandwidth if constrained on a single channel.

To put it another way, the scull is almost entirely resistive. And you can't make a low-pass-filter with just resistors.
That makes no sense. If land affects the value of the land around it then it had to have gone up.

If you put 10 family dwellings on land, then its value is at least that of 10 family dwellings. So each individual renter is somehow paying 1/10th the 10x greater cost. You haven't reduced the LVT by sharing it between the LVT between the renters, they're all paying the same or more.
It seems like quite a simple calculus to me: if ever the cost of reasonably using the API exceeds the cost of buying and operating a machine with 350GB RAM, then people will switch to the latter. Either way, I don't see how adding a new option could make anyone's situation worse.
The banks were going to become insolvent in both scenarios. Coinbase is proposing you lend them Bitcoin, not other individuals. If they don’t put up the collateral and leverage hard and manage to fail for whatever reason, they pretty much screw everyone out of their coin.

I am not at all confused. I am well aware of the contents of the article, and that the article never mentions specifically the combination of characters known as 'Long Covid'. I responded specifically to your unreferenced statement of a supposed fact (that there is a claim) 'half of the people that get infected get Long Covid'.

Your claim that this is either the case or being claimed to be the case is entirely baseless.

> people say ‘I know this one guy and he got covid and it was terrible for a long time’. So that’s the image that’s conjured up for Long Covid.

I have never once heard that, and my reaction to that scenario, is that the guy had covid. Long covid did not enter my thoughts, the image you have conjured here is of someone fighting an active infection. It sounds like they were in hospital for a long time. Hopefully that friend is better now.

> Long Covid is just any complaint people have after contracting covid, from lung damage to occasional slight headaches, you know, the things that are in the list of side effects for every type of medicine on the planet

You know how if you get shot, you often bleed. Well its not like that is unique to being shot, if you cut yourself you will also bleed.

We can replace capitalism when we have a better system, that does as good a job as accounting for human nature, distributes the gains of the economic system in more egalitarian a manner, and doesn't concentrate the reigns of financial power in as few hands.

Note I didn't say we can't reform capitalism, but all the ills and failings that will not doubt be enumerated ad nauseam in this thread almost all apply as well to EVERY OTHER economic system human beings have tried.

The real solution is a post-scarcity economy, but we can't have that until we, you know, don't have scarcity.
What the semantics to the programmer (AI compiler) look like?

Arbitrary bitwidth loads from Arbitrary bit offsets? Basically https://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstring/strncpy/

I'd like to see structs be representable in the CPU and the CPU would generate all the load store instructions, stencil computations would have a hardware level description.

Could you see supporting this on say a RISC-V cpu? Or would it be a new ISA designed to support bit addressability? If you patched it in, what would it look like?

What if memory was multidimensional? It would be excellent for storing extra metadata, counters, permission bits, provenance, event listeners.

> after the Sackler family finally got away with defacto mass murder

For those unfamiliar with US news, the family who owns the primary opioid manufacturer and distributor, and who was proven to have intentionally lied about addiction risks and pushed excess volume into rural communities to boost sales, obtained blanket legal immunity for their entire family as part of a bankruptcy settlement.

https://www.npr.org/2021/09/01/1031053251/sackler-family-imm...

They made $10 B selling opioids.

They'll pay $4.3 B and forfeit ownership of their company, in exchange for the immunity.
In my town, when a few of us got rooftop solar, some homes reduced their electric bills significantly, in some cases, to less than zero, so the Light Dept said (publically in meetings) we weren't paying our fair share. The real issue was a threat of loss of revenue. It is fair to ask homes that pay nothing, always pay something, but the term "fair share" is inaccurate and emotive.
When I interviewed with Coinbase in 2018, it seemed that their core competency was strong relationships with regulators (not tech). And now they're picking a fight with the SEC? What's going on inside COIN? Office politics must be tense: unanimous support for this PR move seems unlikely.
That's exactly reductio ad absurdum.

Quoting your own link:
> [a] form of argument that attempts to establish a claim by showing that the opposite scenario would lead to absurdity or contradiction.

The claim parent is attempting to establish is "how old a law is doesn't matter". The extreme example is ignoring an old law that abolishes the slave trade, and claims it is unimportant because it is decades old, which (parent is claiming) is absurd. Therefore, the original claim is absurd.

The important take away from these sorts of restrictions, though, are such state powers set to end when the pandemic is controlled or terminated? I'm not from Australia, so I can't speak to their power systems, but almost every time our federal institutions take a more broader domestic power towards spying, restricting speech, restricting movement, etc. etc. those powers don't come back at the end of the panic, whatever that panic may have been. Some of those expanded powers (PRIZM) we have to find out about through leaks, to the detriment of the people who leaked the information for the greater good.
We maintain a similar Javascript library at work called jIO [1][2]. It provides the same API to different storages (currently Memory, IndexedDB, WebSql, WebDav, Dropbox, GoogleDrive, ERP5) plus handlers for functionality and complex storage trees (eg zip, union, query, replicate, crypt storage). It's relatively straightforward to extend and query data sources with an open API since you just have to reimplement the jIO API methods.
