IMO lock-free MP or MC algorithms are harder to get right than SPSC structures (atomics for shared memory, queues for messaging, triple buffers for tear-free shared memory). But even SPSC algorithms can be tricky; I've found the same (theoretical) ordering error in three separate Rust implementations of triple buffering (one of them mine), written by people who've already learned the ordering rules (which I caught with Loom). And initially learning to reason about memory ordering is a major upfront challenge too.
That makes me wonder what a PowerBook G3 (my favorite one but it’s surely nostalgia) inspired design could be.

Excellent write-up.

I disagree with the conclusion:

>>What if, for some people, there are no solutions?

>>For some, there is no treatment for their depression. There will never be a better career. There is no better life off drugs.

>>I think that’s plausible.

>>Your happiness is a balance between all the good and bad things in life. Some people are cursed with such strong innate bad factors that no amount of good will overcome them.

>>I don’t know for sure, and I would never ask them, but I think that’s what Jack’s parents eventually concluded.

Children cannot see their own full potential. If given the freedom to choose, they will often choose wrong - choose to stay home and play video games, choose to not do their homework, choose to not go outside and be physically active.

This is where the parents come in. They have to force the child to develop skills, and mental fortitude, that will give them a sense of meaning, self-worth, and belief in their own potential.

They cannot tolerate their child being a self-pitying loser. Children will respond to authority, and in the case of a child wasting away their potential, exerting that authority is justified.

I also think all drugs should be legalized. Heroin concoctions should be sold beside bleach. If someone wants to kill themselves, we shouldn't coddle them. Making it fully legal would take away much of the romanticism attached to it. Kids who do drugs should be seen as absolute losers, on par with gasoline sniffers, not raised up by their peers as druggy rebels.

Finally, the medical establishment should stop prescribing painkillers. Jack's addiction started with a Percocet prescription. The costs of prescription painkillers, in sparking deadly addictions, outweigh any conceivable benefit. Pain has never killed any one. Painkillers have.
When a person leaves a company who has been there for a long time, a similar effect occurs.

These people often do a host of small tasks to that noone is really aware of (themselves included; they don't see how it's special or that nobody else knows about it). It can take the organization a long time to recover and realign.

In a sense, this is all about interest rates.

If capital becomes abundant enough that rates of return become low enough, then the long term becomes more and more important in corporate planning.

If interest rates are high, then short term gutting of the business _is_ the rational move.

(Interest rates have been rather low in the last decade or so. Not sure if that had much of an influence?)

Rust doesn't catch memory ordering errors, which can result in behavioral bugs in safe Rust and data races and memory unsafety in unsafe Rust. But Loom is an excellent tool for catching ordering errors, though its UnsafeCell API differs from std's (and worse yet, some people report Loom returns false positives/negatives in some cases: https://github.com/tokio-rs/loom/issues/180, possibly https://github.com/tokio-rs/loom/issues/166).
One big problem with Rails code is that when you're looking at any particular block of code is very difficult to figure out the scope of variables. They can be coming from a base class, a mixin, some kind of plugin etc. And dev tools usually won't help you figure this out. This alone makes maintaining Rails code a lot harder than something like Node/TS where all your imports are explicit.
I've always been optimistic about the EV (and solar and battery) revolution, but I still don't understand the Tesla share price.

I really don't think alcohol causes such a strong reaction in most people. It is pleasant, but not to that extreme.

Also, people dont get addicted to alcohol that fast. It takes a lot more usage to develop physical dependency.
Hi! Author here. I don't call the E5-2680s "somewhat old", I call them ancient, because they are... well.. ancient. I included them in the comparison because up until recently, I was still using an E5-2680 workstation. So really the point was that for ME personally, the M1 Max is a huge improvement over what I had previously. I don't really keep piles of the latest Xeons sitting around my house, so I had to make do with what I had. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For what it's worth, I also threw in comparisons with the 2019 Mac Pro's Xeon W-3245 and the Threadripper 3990X, both of which might be described as "somewhat new".
That's why you have a backup. I also noticed that i'm incompetent on friday evenings so i avoid doing sysadmin work then.
I think you've been seriously mislead about European police. Your description is of the heavily armed US police and not like any police force you'll hear about in Europe.

The actual military police only police servicemen and have no authority over civilians, you will only find them in army towns.
> I find the tomatoes in US stores bland and watery. They must be collected when green and ripe on the truck or in the store.

I once read somewhere that many commercial tomato varieties have lost their flavor because they have only been selected for appearance (red/flawless). But I don't know if that is true.

Luckily I found that here in Europe, recently, there have been very flavorful cherry tomatoes in the grocery stores again, but they cost between 6 to 7 euro/kilo (the watery ones around half the price.)

In selecting delicious cherry tomatoes, I observed two criteria:

1) they'll have a somewhat rough surface, rather than smooth - like little particles

2) they'll often have little yellow dots at the top around the stem
Not every brand is getting worse. Some are staying the same, and some are improving.

The regulation you suggest seems a bit silly. If transparency is good for a brand, companies can already implement it. (And if customers don't care enough to pay for transparency, why force them to?)

What's the externality that your proposed regulation is trying to internalize?

Also keep in mind that disclosure regulations put an undue burden on smaller companies and upstarts, as they don't benefit from economies of scale. (You need roughly the same amount of lawyers and accountants etc to comply here, no matter how big your business is.)

If you don't require a laptop then an alder lake chip doesn't take anything close to a ridiculous amount of power, nor is it hard to cool.

Edit: I know this discussion is partly focused on laptops, but the overall comparison is including server chips so it's clearly not just about laptops. And 60 or 100 watts is child's play in even a tiny desktop.
The law includes a provision that the ban will go into effect only if there is suitable zero emission replacement. The goal is to incentivize some cleaner alternatives to be developed. And even then previous purchased generators are grandfathered.
https://youtu.be/bSjOq28wuOk?t=71
That's only if you consider this a one time thing. Those 100K vehicles are going to need replacement in a few years. And considering, Hertz's stock price increase, investors are clearly believing this is a great deal for them. Which raises the question about where all their competitors will be buying their EVs. There are millions of rental vehicles. Close to 2M in the US alone.

The reasons Hertz is considered to be getting a great deal here by investors is that EVs retain their value a lot better and are known to have much lower maintenance overhead. So, they'll get more miles out of them before they have to sell them on, get back more when they do, and be able to charge a premium for them at the same time. In a market where margins are razor thin, that's a big deal.

It's more a question of when than if their competitors will be lining up to buy some EVs. They'll have to. And then of course the next question is which one they'd be buying. The answer for the next few years is that Tesla is one of the few companies that has both product and manufacturing ready for volume production. Of course a few other manufacturers might make some nice money here too.

So, investors are thinking that Tesla could end up supplying many hundreds of thousands of vehicles for rental per year in the next few years. On top of their other business, which is also continuing to grow at a very nice pace. They'll likely need a few new factories for this but they've shown they can deliver those as well.

That's not even true! What a mess of a pedantic correction.
This sounds very similar to Virta Labs Powerguard:

https://ce.engin.umich.edu/stories/virta-labs-introduces-pow...

except that Powerguard looks at the power side channel rather than the RF emissions side channel (although there is likely some correlation between the two). The company eventually dropped the product and pivoted to other products. If I remember correctly, Kevin Fu said the reason was the number of false positives; the embedded systems were complicated enough that there were often little used subroutines that would very occasionally get called, setting off the anomaly detector. The timing of when those subroutines get called was often unpredictable. Strange as it may seem, even embedded computers are no longer deterministic due to interrupt and thread handlers, external trigger events, user interfaces, and noise. Unless the hardware is really simple and you can exercise all branches of all the software, this kind of anomaly detection does not seem likely to work well. Especially for an FPGA running machine learning software where there are likely to be all kinds of fuzzy boundary conditions that can cause changes in outcomes. A 1.83 percent false positive rate may sound good, but if you are doing hundreds of integrity tests per day then the system would be indicating the FPGA is compromised several times per day.
These days, anything you have ever done, however long ago, is sufficient grounds for the zealots.

Except in benchmarks outside GeekBench it isn't. See e.g. the last graph in

https://www.anandtech.com/show/17024/apple-m1-max-performanc...

The 5950X is only 55% faster than the M1 Max on multi-threaded integer benchmarks. The M1 Max is even 26% faster than the 5950X on multi-threaded FP benchmarks (maybe it has two AMX units?).

The M1 Max is really in 5900X/5950X territory... in a laptop.

I agree on the pricing (I also have a 5900X and a 5950X machine). But it is fantastic that we can have that kind of performance in a mobile device and still have many hours of battery life.

We should complement both AMD and Apple and be happy that we finally have serious competitors to Intel. AMD has managed to compete with and outrun Intel from the an initial position of an also-ran underdog. I think the M1 line is more impressive technically than Ryzen, given the very low TDPs. But Apple has vastly more budget and much more opportunity for vertical integration.

Both companies have done impressive work the last few years.
It is called: tiny!
This is kinda like me (ex-Soviet person) explaining that the policies a lot of US "progressives" are proposing would, if followed to their logical conclusion, result in everyone living in poverty, and them personally being sent to a labor camp as "counter-revolutionary element" if they were to "succeed". This gets downvoted and flagged right away, but it's still something I will keep telling people, because there's no way I'll allow this garbage here without a fight. I've been there, so you don't have to.

And they still think they're right. I don't think you can actually get through, even if you tell them about your lived experience - they'll just think you're making things up, and they don't study history. Party dogma/narrative overrides reason 100% of the time.

> I get weird pains they call "cluster headaches" in my face

if you have not already done this, you could consult an "migraine center". There is no cure but there are some effective (for some people at least) options for treating cluster headaches, like triptans and lifestyle changes (regularity in sleep patterns, etc.)
With all due respect, this is the sort of black/white binary view that people tend to take on when they have little life experience.

> My friend told me they got heroin with fentanyl without knowing.

This is an all too common trend. Most people aren't dying from an accidental overdose, they are being poisoned with fentanyl.

You get addicted to pain killers. Then go to heroin because it's cheaper and more effective. Then you get it laced with fentanyl because dealers are cutting it. Then you die.

To slow it you have to pressure China to stop the labs and you have to crack down on border smugglers, neither will happen anytime soon.
I deliberately used the nonspecific term "testing" and avoided "unit tests" because arguments about unit testing vs. integration testing vs. ui vs. functional vs. system vs. [...] are generally not productive, and tangential to the point I was making.

> I think that it is more important to be able to control complexity in order to avoid testing,

I think that's a worthy ideal to strive for, but it's not so easy to control complexity in practice.

First, a lot of complexity arises from business logic requirements. Even if you have an "engineering" department, they're going to have limited ability to negotiate away complexity in business concerns. And many outfits who adopt No Code don't have engineering departments, and aren't well versed in engineering principles like simplifying, testing, or even keeping backups, let alone modularization, separation of concerns, loose coupling, or other approaches for managing complexity at scale.

And then there's time. It takes time to whittle something down so that it is simple and elegant. That time costs precious resources which small outfits may not be able to spare.

You can get experience without doing an actual thing.

But yes, it's important to understand everyone has a first time. There's a good article about doctors and nurses doing this. And the hidden secret while they are practising patients suffer, but it has to happen somehow.

You'll probably find some journalists still had internet access - neighboring country reception, high latency satellites, roaming, corporate providers etc.. so I dont think Starlink will help a lot - its not like the masses will ever be able to afford it (even if it ends up being $30/mo it will be out of reach for nearly all Sudanese). These measures are usually about keeping the masses in the dark and off social media so they cant share info and organize protests etc..

A good chunk of this is that Tesla's are designed very carefully for these exact tests.

I'm willing to bet performance would drop substantially if you modified the test even a little - for example changing the collision angle from 0 degrees to 5 degrees.

Other car manufacturers also 'design for the test', but less so I suspect.

The bigger warning to any potential potato farmers is to make sure you keep the potatoes underground; any tuber above ground will also have heightened levels of solanine. If they're light-skinned they'll also turn green from chlorophyll, which helps identify them a bit, but better to make sure they're well-buried.

(All my potatoes had a couple fruits this year, but I'm in Germany, so I have no clue if that data is relevant...)

Though you are right with news reporting giving unproven accusations and in-process trials far too much weight. This is not just happening with 'hated' entities like Facebook, but also publicly unknown individuals. It clearly can convey a distorted picture of the facts.
