You have the details precisely correct.

Nvidia are finally moving to support GBM (iirc, it's because someone from KDE asked an nvidia engineer to help get something working with wayland+eglstreams, and he found out it was impossible, as the community had been saying for a while. Slight citation needed on that as I can't find a reference).

Technically they have support in their latest 495 drivers, but I can speak from experience when I say it's not seamless for a user. (I have put a lot of effort into getting it to work and it recently broke again).
I feel like you miss the key argument and context here, I.e. impact of government decisions on population. I am assuming you are of the opinion that this is a non issue, and I am fine with any opinion, as long as it is applied consistently. In this context, you cannot issue pleas for people on the one side and blame countries on the other.

> I hear this a lot, can you give some concrete examples?

You can get a good example of what is possible by using org mode for a little while.

For example, keystroke <TAB> on an issue marked as TODO moves it to the next state IN-PROGRESS, <TAB> again moves it to the next state DONE and changes the color from red to green, and if you continue <TAB>ing you will cycle through all states.

That's the default 3 states.

If you don't like the default states, at the top of your file you can simply list the state progression in plain text like this:

#+TODO: TODO INVESTIGATING IN-PROGESS BLOCKED | DONE

And now your <TAB>ing will cycle through those states.

Another example of the programmability of Emacs is when editing tables in org mode - it's so painless and intuitive to have text tables with columns all aligned as you move to the next column or row. That's also behaviour that is not hardwired into Emacs, it's simply some sort of hook that's registered when org mode is set up.

As a final example, here's a snippet from my .emacs file:

; Set the postamble for org html export

; %t stands for the title.

; %a stands for the author's name.

; %e stands for the author's email.

; %d stands for the date.

; %c will be replaced by `org-html-creator-string'.

; %v will be replaced by `org-html-validation-link'.

; %T will be replaced by the export time.

; %C will be replaced by the last modification time.

(setq org-html-postamble-format

'(("en" "<p class=\"author\">Author: %a</p>

<p class=\"date\">Date: %C</p>

<p class=\"creator\">Powered by %c</p>

<p class=\"validation\">%v</p>")))

(setq org-html-postamble

'(("en" "<p class=\"author\">Author: %a</p>

<p class=\"date\">Date: %C</p>

<p class=\"creator\">Powered by %c</p>

<p class=\"validation\">%v</p>")))

Those are callbacks - you don't get any more programmability than telling the application "call me back when the user requests an export, but only for HTML use these functions".

> I am really curious to know how Emacs and Vim fits in your daily workflow?

I use Vim primarily for writing code and code navigation. I use Emacs primarily for writing text and text navigation (for example, Emacs shortcuts for paragraph formatting and navigation are great (C-u M-q)). Emacs org mode is also great for maintaining tasklists, time-spent on tasks (it calculates that for you using a date-picker), reorganising the task hierarchy, etc.

Vim, even with plugins, doesn't come close to org mode.
> Yes but.. extraordinary times exist, if we were sane we would prepare for crises before they happen

You can't keep the staff and maintain the gear needed to handle 100x "once in a century" event all the time, it just doesn't work. Most health systems are already huge money sinks and on the brink of collapse in normal times... This isn't a "a bomb injured 300 people" event, we can't live 100% prepared to every single potential threats.

> 6 weeks everybody at home, period.

If taken literally, how is that supposed to work? People working for the emergency service still need to work, and they certainly can't work from home. Same for most of the medical sector, nursing services etc. and of course the various bits of infrastructure. Some industries cannot be easily shut down (you cannot stop or start a steel works on a whim). Most people involved in food production, too. Maybe you can blame people for not keeping at least two weeks of provisions (although blaming them won't change anything), but expecting them to go six weeks without buying any food or other provisions is certainly unrealistic. Things break, and not all of them can be left for up to six weeks to be fixed. (If your fridge breaks, or the heating breaks or your roof springs a leak, that cannot really wait. Same if things break in any of the critical industries and services that cannot be shutdown and need to keep working). All this residual activity still needs some amount of transportation and all the infrastructure that that entails. Etc.,etc. …
Hard agree. And a huge responsibility, one that people constantly fail by driving drunk, distracted, threatening, and killing pedestrians. Cars are often weapons, there’s logic to regulating them as such.
Gvt-g is pretty much dead. New hardware e.g. Tiger Lake with Xe isn’t supported and it’s my understanding that Intel has no plans to support.

By complicated, I mean that you have to modify your the default behavior of your host OS (which by default will grab any hardware) and pick a GPU that is supported by the guest OS. People with Nvidia GPUs cannot do that for macOS. Ideally, out-of-the-box, with a few clicks, most people including non-tech savy ones should be able to enjoy 3D acceleration in their VM, regardless of their host configuration.

Besides, in the long term, Apple is likely to drop support for AMD or Intel GPU in their OS (but yes, they might also drop support for virtio devices).

Yes, evdev is currently the best way to share your inputs devices to a VM, thank you for pointing that out (alas, it is only available in distributions with very recent virtualization-related packages).

In my (perhaps narrow) view: virtualization should be about making you less reliant on the underlying hardware. I wish that GPU manufacturers would agree on a common standard to allow users to split their beefy GPU into smaller parts (Intel is apparently dropping support for vfio-mdev (Intel GVT-d), adopting SR/IOV instead for their latest offerings. But SR/IOV is only available on professional models for AMD and Nvidia. In summary, there won't be a standard any time soon, leaving virtio-gpu as the sole hardware-agnostic contender)
Soooo, let's see, try to see what is going on. I want to start with two standard pieces of advice, (1) always look for the hidden agenda and (2) follow the money. Now let's see:

First, as in this thread already, we know who put this "kill switch" stuff in the bill. In particular it is the MADD group maybe plus maybe some more activists.

Second, now that the "kill switch" is in the bill, the MADD group is pleased. Soooo, some Members of Congress can expect some campaign contributions from MADD and their supporters. Since it will be some years before the bill works its way through the DoT, engineering, law suits, lobbying by car manufacturers, screaming from drivers who don't want the complexity, etc., the campaign contributions may continue for several years.

Uh, each new feature on a car raises the purchase price and the cost of maintenance. Some of the features added to cars can break, fail, whatever and be left broken, but not this "kill switch"!!! If that darned thing gets sick, the car may become a 4500 pound boat anchor until the owner coughs up, maybe, $2500 for repairs!!! Car owners won't like that.

Third, there can be a lot of pitfalls for that provision to pass before ALL new cars have that "kill switch". E.g., the provision was put into the bill quietly. Some years from now a provision to repeal or delay for 10 more years can be put into some bill just as quietly.

If the kill switch starts to become real and angers a lot of voters and companies, then Congress can receive a lot of pressure, more than MADD can manage, to repeal the provision.

Fourth, even if all new cars have the switch, some car manufacturer can, quietly, hint, hint, let out how to disconnect the switch and all its sensors. And there is a really big, responsive industry of small companies ready to help car owners who would want to disconnect the switch.

Fifth, what the insurance companies care about is not what some sensor or computer in a car says but what insurance claims the driver has. E.g., the car insurance industry knows well that I've been driving for a log time and have never had an insurance claim of any kind.

Sixth, if a car insurance company wants data from some log file accumulated by some computers in a car, then send them a log file -- "Get your clean log file right here, cheap, guaranteed, clean log files!!!"

Net, it could be 10+ years before anyone who hates the idea of having the kill switch actually has to put up with the darned thing.

Then 10+ years from now, MADD will have to dry their tears, have a group hug, and console themselves with the fact that they tried. Meanwhile, some Members of Congress will have gotten some campaign contributions, 10+ years worth!

All this is a special case of what I've detected is a pattern in how Congress works: In one word, there's a lot of showmanship going on. There's a lot less real than meets the eye.

In the UK, the principle is that a law's "Long Title" must cover everything in that law - which limits the ability to shoehorn unrelated amendments in during the draft law's passage through Parliament. Long titles sometimes are made vague, deliberately, to provide for some flexibility here.

Remember the DAO hack in 2017? I think whoever was responsible for it was a hero because they showed that the claims peddled by Buterin/Wood are at best utopian, and at worst fraudulent. The idea that code is law and there is no centralized actor who can control the network fails because bugs exist. Buterin showed the world the emperor has no clothes, and the underpants are full of skid-marks, when deciding to fork.

A hard fork was the only rational thing he could have done and how any other centralized actor would have responded. But by doing so all the previous talk about decentralization and "code-is-law" mumbo-jumbo was exposed for what it is.

So whoever did this should be celebrated from saving the world from a much bigger shock that would have eventually happened once it would have been actually adopted by real market players. If you hack a system like IOTA, OneCoin, Ethereum and show the world that it's just a bunch of scammers who talk about things they wish the system to be, as opposed to what it realistically can be (or presently is), they are doing the world a favor by educating the rest of us.

We do not talk enough about what a grift the whole Ethereum platform is. I guess it is because people are just tired of it because we've already had at least 6+ years of pointing it out. Not just Ethereum's Wood/Buterin but many others (the guys behind the IOTA foundation making claims about contracts with Microsoft, Volkswagen and Cisco that never existed). They all suffer from the same issue which is very prevalent in Tech. They have been trying to "fake it before they make it" for too long and can no longer walk it back. When people do this the whole thing becomes bigger than them, it goes from an idea to a prank to a worldwide scam[1] from which you have no choice other than doubling down on your lies.

[1] see the story of Dr Ruja Ignatova - "The Missing Crypto Queen" https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07nkd84/episodes/downloads <- the major difference between Ruja and Buterin is that Ruja was a McKinsey consultant who didn't understand technology. This makes Buterin a far more successful (and more dangerous) player. Buterin is what Ruja could have been if she wouldn't have had to trust others in defining the technological aspect/parts of OneCoin.

I don't think this will be read in the spirit it is shared. I do think it has two salient points:

1) assumptions of alliance roles in ASEAN would be a mistake.

2) it will not be a hot war fought in Asia only. Continental USA will suffer damage equal to what it causes in the Chinese heartland.

The rest is chest beating. But, so is belief the f35 will win against all, or anti ICBM are flawless. Personally I expect it will be a cold war by proxy in minor dysfunctional nation states as it has been since WW2.

Side note. Yes: all Chinese do national service. It's like 6 weeks basic. Only a few do PLA serious training.

The point about Taiwan was good. A lot of recent foreign policy from Australia and America misunderstood or misstated the Taiwanese view for its own ends.

There is a persistent belief across the cold war all European NATO "allies" expected to seize control of US nukes in their domain. None of them wanted a hot war.

China hasn't had good history of democracy in recent times but Chinese nationalism is very consistently voiced in defence of the state, spratlys aside. If China wants allies in region, it will win hearts and minds as soon as it stops treading on Vietnamese, Philippines and like territorial claims in the south China Sea. The US would have a hill to climb by comparison, if it wanted allies in a hot war.
Regarding the water acting as a sponge of energy, that phenomenon is reversed compared to the pressure cooker, but the analogy should not be taken further.

When comparing with isobaric(constant pressure) freezing the paper mentions that it consumes less energy because for food preservation you only need to freeze to -5 degrees, and most importantly there is no phase change process. Thus, you do not need to spend energy in that extremely energy hungry stage. They state a 70% thermodynamic efficiency improvement vs conventional isobaric freezing. That is quite a lot. If you consider that most of a house's latent energy consumption is used for the fridge/freezer I can see important impacts for energy efficiency, although the paper seems to target industrial freezing and not home freezing.

Really nice business cases for industrial uses. 70% energy efficiency increase would probably lead to tax rebates being available for potential customers, making them more likely to upgrade their systems. Improved food preservation would also be a good pitch to make to premium food producers, think fishing boats plus saves in fossil fuel. With expertise gained in my non-critical food preservation industry I would later pivot into the bio-sciences selling lab and transplant freezers.
I feel that the concept of DAOs offers much more than what the author present. If I understand it correctly, DAOs offer a programmatic way to organize the decision making and wealth sharing between the participants. Compared to the traditional way (contracts+lawyers+notar), it becomes much cheaper and faster to make decision, distribute and re-distribute wealth and ownership. Basically, DAOs have the potential to remove friction in all what is organizational for a startup. This opens new possibilities for wealth sharing and decision making processes in the organization.
>it has potential but won't "arrive" until after the patents all expire

This is somewhat of a misconception. The high cost today has nothing to do with patents anymore, for the most part, though that' still a speedbump. It getting good yields in the fabs for the e-ink films that's the problem, and that's where e-ink has the secret sauce and why others can't compete even though they know how it works.

It's like saying TSMC's 3nm won't get any traction until it's patents expire, while the true vale comes form the fact that only they can get that process to scale profitably and their competition can't, even though they have access to the same tech and materials and $$$ funds.

So, I'm sure there are competitors who can replicate the e-ink tech. But to fab it profitably at that scale? Nope.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that the entire point of XAML and MVVM was to define a clean interface between the UI designer and the programmer. The programmer provides the view model classes and the UI designer can work on the XAML in Expression Blend without touching any code.

Some Economy Concepts Explained
Or for a less radical approach:

Limit copyright for creative works to the author's lifetime. Dad wrote the next Lord of the Rings on his deathbed? Too bad, you better hope he sorted out a good publishing deal that'll survive him. Abolish copyright for software. Sorry, your ecommerce website isn't Hamlet.

Cap patents to a fixed number of years, say 10, and ban software patents. Also require that a patent filing actually provides enough information to be able to reproduce the work given all other publicly available information. Want to patent your AI that requires a secret training data set? Tough. Want to patent your crazy new dating algorithm? Better provide an example implementation in the public domain.
Super interesting, i rarely find these perspective on economic cost of the economy itself. And then there's the human cost.. I have this feeling that every economic component acts as a silo that forbid people to share important information (due to competition or just incompetence) which seems very detrimental in the long run.

What is the lifespan of high refresh e-ink devices such as this monitor? Is it measured in a billion refreshes for example? E-ink displays have been slow to update but like this monitor there are a bunch of e-ink tablets which even allow you to watch videos and play games. In my head it feels like it detoriate the device faster.

It's hard to conceive a working device that is less ergonomic than a laptop. They're really not made for human anatomy. From the screen that makes you crane your neck, to the staggered terrible keyboards.

While there are certainly posters here with people that have developed for 10 years without any issues, carpal tunnel is a lot more common than people think. It's very easy to cause irreparable damage to the body when using these devices that have about zero consideration for the human body.
I am afraid it is true to some extent… but then again this article made me feel a bit better about my condition:

You could not make it up, writing an article about bullshit and arguing about “conceptual entrepreneurs”, “noisy ignorance”, “permissive uncertainty”, “language game”. This made my day.
