> Oh no, a big part of the cost is in the manufacturing.

Not in the marginal cost which I was referring to. I absolutely know the fixed cost is a large part of this. But high fixed costs encourage price discrimination because that increases the quantity supplied to the market.
Probably depends a lot on whether you're renting or not? (or whether your finances are solid enough that you can buy a place whenever)

For me quitting would immediately mean I'd be losing four figures a month to rent before accounting for anything else so there wouldn't be much of a feeling of a grace period; the option of traveling or whatever else would also come with the knowledge that I'd likely have to set myself up somewhere else eventually. Then beyond that I'd have to be on a salary long enough to get a mortgage.

So like... there's a lot of stuff that needs to be accounted for where if I owned a place it'd just be "do I pack up my stuff and let this place for a couple of years if I want to travel or will I return regularly and keep it as a hub.
>One has to wonder why these protests, which happen every week and are big, barely get reported in the media. When they are mentioned many people denounce them as being a bunch of anti-vaxxers. This is far from true, but like so much propoganda nowadays has an element of truth.

Same reason the media are who pushed the narrative that covid is as bad as the spanish flu. Even though it never was. It has left quite a number of people believing that covid is worse than the normal flu. Which it never was.

I've considered as well, if the media reported the truth. Would our society have considered lockdowns at all? If society knew the truth that covid has lower risk than the normal flu season. We wouldn't have done anything. We know because we dont do anything for normal flu.

Flipside, shouldnt we try to eliminate these things?

Yep. The nerve soma(the cell body) does not die when the nerve is cut. The axon distal to the cut dies. The living axon tries to grow into the 'scaffold' of the axon part that died. This can take months and doesn't always restore full functionality.
I can ignore the licensing for my personal stuff (and some work might be able to, too) but from a technical perspective I find the SPL translation layer and fs caching overhead much greater pill to swallow. It’s basically bolting on Solaris as a 2nd memory system just for zfs. I really hope this hack is recognized for what it is sooner rather then later…
Sure, in western countries we have some health care systems, but let's say what will happen in a pure capitalistic system - I wish there would be a game engine or program where we can input an economic/political system and see what happens.

Can we observe this anomalies(giants, monopolies,duopolies, cartels , ) appearing then try different strategies to prevent that to happen? Would be cool to maybe do a search algorithm to find the best strategy to distribute money, healthcare, education to as many people as possible and could be also cool to test your own ideas, like maybe I am thinking that a tax/regulation for X would have some good effect, I could put it in the simulation and maybe discover something I did not anticipated.
The chart is a chart of the yearly "anomaly". So even a 0.3 degree deviation is plotted in the chart as an "anomaly". Clearly you don't understand the issue, which is exactly my point. It is a misleading label.

I am not saying the rise by whatever many degrees is not an anomaly. That is simply not what they plot. They don't call the steep rise an anomaly, they call every deviation from the arbitrary average an anomaly. They don't plot the "steepness of the rise", although you can see it in the chart. Every point in the plot is called an "anomaly", not the plot as a whole. Even the data points where a year is colder than their arbitrary average is called an anomaly in their chart.

English is not my first language but I think I know what an anomaly is supposed to be.

You could maybe try implementing bank switching to handle more memory. This does make code more complex but it should be possible to use boilerplate to access arbitrary memory. IIRC from when I toyed with making CPUs, a bank switch is implementable as a single extra register which simply drives the upper 16bit (or less) of your address line. It will probably be fairly slow.
You're absolutely right in the sense that the Django and other communities should not stagnate and should also keep an eye on what the other frameworks are up to. Maybe the default template engine should be replaced in Django?

A Visual Intro to Large Language Models
Django/Python is the first "real" thing I ever learned while teaching myself to become a developer (through Harvard's CS50web course), and I found it very easy to learn and pleasant to work with. It has its quirks, but what doesn't?

Once you move on to using Django (probably with REST Framework) for the backend and React or some other JS framework for the front-end, you get some slightly difficult things involving Auth and some other stuff, and of course you can take the complexity as far as you want and I'm sure there are some Django devs with 10-15 years of experience who are experts in parts of the framework that I'm not even aware of, but I don't think learning Django to the point where you can ship a reasonably competent app is more difficult than learning Node/Express, or Rails, or whatever.
Based on this stimulating Axon growth, it sounds like it might help to repair the damage caused by MS. That would be amazing news. Not a cure per se, but a way to actually treat symptoms rather than just surpressing. Worryingly, they mention a few neurodegenerative diseases but not MS.
Quite. I can't think of any reason other than retrocomputing that someone would want an OpenSPARC.

I think people forget that the economies are different with hardware vs software; because you cannot eradicate the per-unit cost of hardware, paying a small part of that in license fees is not a big deal, especially since it comes with integration support that saves you a lot of non-recurring R&D expense. Whereas in software, being free makes it zero-friction and this has a huge impact on adoption.
For high school students looking at this list because they want to increase their chances at building a successful company, do not look at this list at face value.

Statistically, if you are already driven to build something, you are likely get more value out of being in a place that is going to maximize your learning potential, exposure to people who can help you mature character, and be recognized by alumni/upper classman/professors who can make a outsized impact in your learning journey.

I would take inspiration from this list and find the smallest, most well capitalized liberal arts school that has quality programs for you to take advantage of. The goal is to find places that have the qualities of the top schools, but where you will be the top 1% where you go, and will be able to maximize the opportunities for learning.

I recommend this even if you are interested in a hard science or computer science field. The benefit for a large majority to establish an educational foundation early on will provide the necessary methods of inquiry to apply breadth or depth based knowledge acquisition in the future.

Instead of seeking out a brand name environment, finding a place where you can mature quickly and confidently learn about yourself will be invaluable for far longer than the brand association to a name brand school.
To your point, opioids are a great example of meds in a profits- first world.

That aside, it certainly possible to have infinite respect for the scientific method, but at the same time be mindful that method meets reality via (often very flawed) humans.

> Consider scale.

Show me that at scale people are happier if they have lots of anonymous sex and giant group orgies.

Strengely enough, traditional building techniques depend on the local availability of materials, you will find stone buildings where stone is available, wood buildings where wood is avaialble and brick buildings where clay is available.

No surprise that igloos are popular where the only available material is ice (and you need arches/cupolas as there is nothing to make beams with).
That looks great. Keep it up!
> The cost of producing a CPU die is non-zero.

While strictly true, the actual die is a relatively tiny cost when producing a CPU. The majority of the cost is the upfront cost of designing the masks. Once you have those, using this or that mask doesn't make a huge difference.

> Suppose that ECC support takes a certain die area, then either everyone is already paying for it while buying the CPU or everyone who licenses the feature is paying for the silicon for everyone who doesn't enable it.

As mentioned the majority of the cost of the ECC support is in the R&D, not the physical manufacturing. As such, moving this to a software level can be a win-win for both parties. By selling ECC support to more customers, they can afford to price the bare CPU cheaper.

That's exactly what happens with our software. There's no way we could sell to single-person companies at the price we do without having features behind "license walls".

> Another issue is that this probably would not happen in a healthy, competitive market. In fact, the opposite would happen [...]

One of the reasons people love cloud computing these days is that the cost scales with activity. Get more customers generating more activity? No problem, just add some extra capacity from your cloud provider. Need some additional functionality to service a new market? No need to pay for years for something you don't use until you need it.
UPnP does not own this port. In the past that also hasn't been much of a problem as the port 5000 was opened by UPnP on the Router, not on localhost where Flask or other web servers are normally listening.

To my knowledge, they do not as part of the regular checkup, but for car models where such modifications are easily possible they do have the right to do so.

Edit additionally, ordinary police also has these rights, and there are, at least in Germany, focused checkpoint controls that specialize in checking for illegal / untitled modifications ("Schwerpunktkontrolle"). And in case of a severe accident where an auditor combs over your vehicle to determine fault, something like this will pop up and be sanctioned, even if it had no relationship to the accident at all.

In any case I would not go and risk jail time, a massive fine, or in worst case forfeit of the illegally modified vehicle.

See, the funny thing is that Apple's M1 devices are less backdoorable than the FSF's "Respects your Freedom" laptops. That's because unlike those obsolete laptops, Apple's designs actually firewall off all the blobs and coprocessors using IOMMUs, and those IOMMU configurations are introspectable by system software so it can confirm they are correct and not granting too much access. That means if you boot Linux on an M1, and you check the IOMMU configs (most of which are not locked, but those which are are readable), you can say "yup, this isn't backdoored". There is also no nested virtualization support on those machines, and the design of ARM virtualization makes it impossible to "hide" a secret backdoor hypervisor. There is also no ME or any other hyper-privileged software. On top of that, the fact that Apple uses code signing for their entire boot stack means that only they can theoretically (though as I said, in practice detectably) backdoor your laptop - that's much better than the RYF laptops, which have no security and therefore anyone in the supply chain can backdoor them. Oh yeah, and all the post-boot blobs on M1s are stored in the filesystem or readable Flash memories, so you can actually audit them, unlike all those microcontrollers with LPC access to all system RAM on the RYF machines. That's just nasty, the perfect design for an invisible backdoor.

So yes, the FSF is actually worse than closed source vendors because they are promoting ancient laptops with poor isolation and no security mitigations, while Apple has spent the past 15 years building a secure platform. You may not like some of their reasons (e.g. locking down iPhones)... but in the end it results in significantly better end-user security than a "Respects your Freedom" device. And you can put Linux on those Macs and run a fully open source kernel and userspace - not very different from those laptops in the end. Think about that.

Of course, I am very happy to talk at length about the design of these machines with everyone, and I want all the users of my software to be aware of these things (yes, there are a ton of blobs here - the amount of damage they can do is less than the blobs in the RYF laptops, but they still exist), as well as the things we don't know (e.g. some of the IOMMU configs grant full access to a few hardware streams; we don't know whether those streams are actually controllable by a coprocessor in such a way that it would make it backdoorable, but we'd like to find out and if it is, that would be a firmware bug to report to Apple). I believe that in order to make an informed decision, users need to have all the information.
I agree. I can generally do what I need to with the ORM, except in extreme cases where you probably should be writing custom SQL anyway. I do fight with Subquery and OuterRef now and then, thinking OuterRef isn't being used in a Subquery when it is, but a little debugging usually resolves that.

The one thing I really wish Django had after all these years is multi-column PK support. I bring it up every time I see a thread about Django, hoping the devs or an open-source contributor will take it on. But after 10+ years, the open ticket just keeps passed on and I don't know that I have the skills to do it myself.

The popularity and mindshare of Postgres really puzzles me. It’s so arcane and full of weird failure modes and gotchas. It feels like something from a 1980s mainframe that would come with a bound “field manual.”

We can have file systems like zfs that for all but maybe the largest and most exotic use cases are bulletproof and relatively easy to administrate. Why can’t we have SQL like this?

I guess we do in the form of CockroachDB or Yugabyte, but Postgres has been so aggressively evangelized try selling someone on those. I know of one or two companies that use them but it’s a tough sell.

There are tons of overpriced Postgres managed cloud offerings and consultancies, so my guess is that there is a heavy financially motivated astroturf campaign.

I've started a job board for FPGA/RTL engineers at www.rtljobs.com. The mailing list is growing at an appreciable clip and paid postings should be live early in the new year.

I've also been doing some electronics consulting work. Not much. Only about 2-3 hours a day.

I'm making about half as much as I was at my job, but with functionally no stress.

The ship hasn't sailed. Yes, the roads are built, but they can be changed. New roads are constructed every day, and they could be better. And better roads will eventually save money, because of less accidents and more efficient land use. And they will bring in more money because they attract and enable more businesses and increase the value of land. It's still a good investment to look for improvement.
It went really well! I wanted to do something different in my career so I thought I had to be in between jobs for as long as 6 months.

On the other hand, I have no problems talking to strangers and most of the time leave a good impression on people, but it drains my energy way more quickly than talkign with people I know well. If I spend half the day pair programming with someone, at the end I have a strong feeling of just wanting to be alone. And during trips, after a few days with friends I miss my home, and usually after around a week with my family.

My point is that you can have no social awkwardness and be good at talking to people, but still have it be an energy drain.

60 hour weeks at 39K amounts to under $15/hr (depending on the value of any benefits package), so you have to keep that in perspective when weighing your options. If you haven't had a raise in a long time, are working holidays, putting in the kinds of hours you're putting in, and having it impact your personal life, it's obviously time to move on.

One immediate idea would be if you could potentially freelance for a few different companies that maybe weren't busy enough to justify hiring someone full-time to do what you do. I don't know enough about what you actually do to provide concrete advice on this, but I would expect there are smaller companies that don't do the same level of international freight, and those companies probably would rather hire a freelancer / contractor to work n hours per week instead of having you on full time.

Contractors are typically paid at a premium, so if you could find a handful of companies to pay you maybe $30/hr for what you're doing, you could work half as much and make quite a bit more than what you're making now. Again, the wildcard here is the value of your benefits package, and what it would cost for you to buy benefits in the open market.
