Isn't it already like this? We already have to make our apps in Obj C / Swift for iOS and Java/Kotlin for Android. You can use C/C++ libraries but you typically need to recompile them anyways. So if iOS or Android switch to different CPU architectures what's the problem? We will have to change our build processes, but the platforms are already fragmented.

> Markets are the sum of the information everyone has about prices (even if that's not evenly distributed), and if you could co-ordinate to rig that, you could rig literally anything.

The market being rigged (in the casual sense used here) does not require anyone to be manipulating all of the factors that affect prices; you just need to be able to cheat on some input to the system. Trading on non-public information may not always be a successful strategy because you might get unlucky and some other factors could unpredictably outweigh the impact of the insider information you're basing your trades on—but on average, insider trading works until/unless you are caught and prosecuted.
Human bodies don’t actually work that way, regardless of whatever you might think from your personal anecdotal experience.

Claiming that this is a simple problem simply proves how willfully ignorant you are of the myriad of problems encountered and what kinds of solutions actually work.

Long ago, I had worked at EPA OPP division, the office of pesticide protection. In general, the regulations are not enough. I won't be able to share all the details, but I can say that these kinds of regulations sometime help the pesticide companies because they can legally do the illegal/unethical things.
Put simply:

- The classification, as all classifications do, is both current and historical, and reflects the biases of the periods over which it evolved.

- The classification serves a pragmatic purpose, as all subject-based shelving classifications do, of reflecting the need to assign volumes of a large collection of books to a single shelf location for both access and reshelving.

- Most classification systems also attempt to bucket all of human knowledge into a fixed number of buckets (20 in the case of the LoCCS), which results in compromises and awkwardness. Additional knowledge and changes in surrounding human culture tend to make earlier structures awkward, if not fully obsolete.

- In the late 19th / early 20th century, not only was there little extant literature on African history, but there was comparatively little interest at the US Library of Congress, as well as considerable cultural antipathy in the United States generally given the country's racist history and politics at the time.

(The areas of interest can be surmised by viewing the history classification: the United States itself, North and South America, Europe, with a particular focus on England and Western Europe, and generally The Rest of the World.)

All topical classifications and ontologies are artefacts of their times. The history of catalogists, encyclopaedists, science, history, and philosophy makes this clear. There are ideas which come and go, some rapidly, some establish themselves solidly for centuries or millennia. This is one of the occupational hazards of the practice.

What the US Library of Congress Classification System does have, as I've tried to express above, is both an ability to expand within the classification system (dive into the Africa section and it expands in subclasses), and a process for accommodating change. Subclassifications can be retired, and terminology changed.

It's a process, not a product.

The US didn't create the Taliban nor fund their creation.

The mujahideen that the US supplied weapons to in Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation are not the same as the Taliban. The mujahideen also existed prior to the US supplying weapons to them.

The Taliban were a strict Islamist student group, the foundation of which consisted largely of refugee students in/from Pakistan, not from soldiers that fought the Soviets.

The Soviets had already been pushed out of Afghanistan years prior to the creation of the Taliban by Mohammad Omar. The US involvement in Afghanistan had dropped to practically nothing by that time. The Taliban easily stepped into a power vacuum post Soviet occupation, which is what they're doing again.

Here you go:

"Mullah Mohammad Omar in September 1994 in his hometown of Kandahar with 50 students founded the group. Omar had since 1992 been studying in the Sang-i-Hisar madrassa in Maiwand (northern Kandahar Province). He was unhappy that Islamic law had not been installed in Afghanistan after the ousting of communist rule, and now with his group pledged to rid Afghanistan of warlords and criminals. Within months, 15,000 students, often Afghan refugees, from religious schools or madrasas – one source calls them Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-run madrasas – in Pakistan joined the group. "

We need to take in mind what pesticides can be used also to produce less fruits. Pesticides are used to produce fruit that can be sold later. They are not necessarily linked with bigger harvests or more people feed.

Organic trees are able to produce massively without pesticides. Is a myth to say that they can't. Pesticides are just one tool in the box. Sometimes can be replaced simply with a brown paper bag.

> The M1's main trick to being so good at running x86 code is it's just so god damn fast for the power budget it doesn't matter if there is overhead for emulated code it's still going to be fast.

M1 is fast and efficient, but Rosetta 2 does not emulate x64 in real time. Rosetta 2 is a static binary translation layer where the x86 code is analysed, translated and stashed away in a disk cache (for future invocations) before the application starts up. Static code analysis allows for multiple heuritstics to be applied at the binary code translation time where the time to do so is plentiful. The translated code then runs natively at the near native ARM speed. There is no need to appeal to varying deities or invoke black magic and tricks – it is that straightforward and relatively simple. There have been mentions of the translated code being further JIT'd at the runtime, but I have not seen the proof of that claim.

Achieving even 70% of native CPU speed whilst emulating a foreign ISA _dynamically (in real time)_ is impossible on von Neumann architectures due to the unpredictability of memory access paths, even if the host ISA provides the hardware assistance. This is further compounded with the complexity of the x86 instruction encoding, which is where most benefits the hardware assisted emulation would be lost (it was already true for 32-bit x86, and is more complex for amd64 and SIMD extensions).

> This is why running Windows for ARM in parallels is fast too, it knows basically none of the "tricks" available but the emulation speed isn't much slower than the Rosetta 2 emulation ratio even though it's all happening in a VM.

Windows for ARM is compiled for the ARM memory model, is executed natively and runs at the near native M1 speed. There is [some] hypevisor overhead, but there is no emulation involved.

Not so much. Sure, they don’t have the calories, but the human body still responds to them the same way it would to a sugared drink — it produces insulin. But if there wasn’t any sugar in the drink, then you don’t actually need that insulin.

Do that enough over a long enough period of time, and your body starts to become immune to the insulin it produces. And you become a Type 2 diabetic. And as a T2 diabetic, it becomes very easy to put on weight and very hard to lose it.

That’s not the only mechanism for becoming a T2, but it is a key one.

Hi I'm Shane and I've been working as a Software Engineer for just over 10 years. Most of my career has been focused on developing web applications within the health space. I'm interested primarily on working on applications that improve healthcare, but I am also open to other opportunities that have a positive impact on society. I'm currently looking for work in the United States (based in SF) and will be available Jan 2022.

Strongly disagree. The internet has totally replaced most previous industries. No aspect of daily ritual, be it education, work, play, language or chore is untouched and global media has altered the status quo for culture and commerce. Most of that in the last 20 years.

The farmer in this piece saw the beginnings of the industrial revolution. That had huge implications but it took a lot of time for those implications to reach the corners of the earth. These days, ideas and technology spread and compound much more rapidly.

Re: Last 20 years, I used to travel in the early noughties before mobile phones were everywhere and none of them had cameras. Wikipedia had barely begun, Google Maps didn't exist, many countries were without ATMs or card connectivity, I even carried TCs once. You you had to pay internet cafes for sporadic internet access. Now I can pay cashless in most places, there's crypto, mobile signals everywhere and global roaming data is a thing. I once got lost in rural India in ~2011, pulled out a laptop with mobile data, a satellite map and a 3D digital elevation model. That's ... superhuman by 1960 standards. And then there's machine translation/video conferencing/libgen/cloud services.
So, once you've reached the truth, like "climate change exists and will have various negative impacts", or "cigarettes are killing millions via cancer", what next?

Activism.
It is all good until it isn't and then it's massively expensive replacing or sterilising everything. I wonder how long realistically such level of cleanliness could on average be managed...
Both people involved are now deceased, and while I heard this story from one of the principals, I have my doubts. But fwiw: I knew a guy who was close buddies with the outside accountant for a Fortune 500 company. One of the accountant's duties was to file a quarterly document with the SEC with the company's financial results. That was before this was done online. The contents of the document, before filing, were very confidential and using or disclosing them would have been illegal inside trading. However, as the story goes, the instant the document was in the SEC's possession, its contents were considered public and people with the info were allowed to use it (maybe not the accountant himself because of some special rules).

And so, according to how I was told, the accountant, after dropping off the document and walking out of the SEC building, would pull out his cell phone and call his buddy from the front steps with the relevant info. The buddy would then make trades on the now-"public" info that no one else yet knew, because it was still on a piece of paper in the SEC office that no one had yet looked at.

Could it really have been that easy? This would have been the 1980s or so, I think. I think they had cell phones then, but if not, they had pay phones.

Changing a definition of a word is a big ask. As wbazant wrote, hacking has originally started as describing computer crime. The scales for what was considered computer crime has shifted quite a bit in addition to the term itself expanding. Many of us deal with this by inferring what is meant by context.

I've been surrounded by hackers, and none of them caught legal or social flack for being called a hacker in public. I also don't see people getting turned off from doing computer security or other computer work because of hacking being used to describe computer crime.

Everyone is so relatively wealthy compared to even 20 years ago that it's hard to imagine what they lack that you could give them, but you view this massive increase in wealth as being itself the problem? ;)
Yes, it absolutely can. Shameless but super relevant plug. I'm (slowly) writing a series of blog posts where I simulate the implications of memory models by fuzzing timing and ordering: https://www.reitzen.com/

I think the main reason why it hasn't been disastrous is that most programs rely on locks, and they're going to be translating that to the equivalent ARM instructions with a full memory barrier.

Not too many consumer apps are going to be doing lockless algorithms, but where they're used all bets are off. You can easily imagine a queue where two threads grab the same item from, for instance.

I support ITER with the caveat that whoever decided it should take decades to complete should be fired. There's no rationale for taking decades to build a fairly straightforward design Taking longer to build it actually dramatically increases the project cost while dramatically reducing the payback (i.e. solving fusion quick enough to be relevant to addressing climate change). They won't even do full fusion (i.e. payback) until 2035, and the actual power generation prototype plant isn't planned for operation until 2051, and I don't understand why people in charge have no sense of urgency here.

I'm skeptical of alt-fusion projects, but... MIT's Commonwealth Fusion SPARC reactor uses a similar Tokamak design but with much higher magnetic field superconductors to be much more compact and thus is planning on a much earlier first full fusion date of 2025, i.e. a full decade earlier and actually potentially relevant to addressing climate change: https://cfs.energy/news-and-media/cfs-commercial-fusion-powe...
I bought an SE/30 off of ebay a while back. It came souped up with 20 megs of RAM and an ethernet card. Unfortunately, no drivers for the ethernet card were included. It took me a while to get the right ones for it (no docs for the ethernet, had to identify it based on the back of the card), but I did manage to get it online.
The point is that if a product is twice as toxic to humans (or bees, or some other off-target species) but four times as toxic to the target pest, then the grower can use a quarter as much and the adverse impact is half. The relevant factor is that "therapeutic index", not toxicity per gram. By that standard some organic pesticides are better than the conventional average (e.g. azadirachtin), while others are worse (e.g. pyrethrin, or rotenone until it was banned).

Also, please don't take gardening advice from whatever website you're quoting. Sodium bicarbonate is not an effective insecticide. It's a marginally effective fungicide, though potassium bicarbonate would be less toxic to the plants. It's indeed pretty safe for humans, but the dose makes the poison even there and people have died from sodium bicarbonate overdose:
