It's hard. Building Mu has given me more of a flavor for just how hard it is. Some limitations of Mu:

* It still requires firmware. There's a whole lot of C down there. How deep do you want to go?

* No mouse. This is just my own ignorance. I can't get the damn IRQs and interrupts figured out.

* Doesn't work yet on real hardware. I live in Qemu. Debugging that is a whole new set of skills I need to learn.

* No networking, almost no persistent storage. Mu has a very simple and slow driver for ATA disks, but that probably won't suffice on most real-world machine configurations. There's 0 network drivers right now. I probably need a dozen to get any sort of coverage.

The stuff you mentioned around graphics and OS file dialogs, that feels easier once you're willing to put up with constraints like Mu's 1024x768 and so on. But yeah, there's major challenges on this road.

Partly due to these challenges, I've actually started to hedge my bets and make some compromises. My new project is https://github.com/akkartik/teliva which doesn't try to eliminate C, just minimize it. Linux kernel, libc, Lua (12k lines of C), some libraries for https. A gemini client is actually on my todo list there. I think I have everything I need to build it.

Software assurance within NASA is often a low-priority if not just an afterthought. Many project/program managers are from the hardware side (e.g., mechanical, electrical, or industrial engineers) and don't always give the appropriate gravitas to software in terms of its ability to contribute to failures.

Firstly, the difference I was trying to emphasize is "guaranteed to be visible due to the unsafe keyword" vs. "potentially not visible".

Secondly, quality standards rely on the human element, which we know is fallible and never 100% reliable. Compiler-enforced memory safety checks are (in theory) infallible[1].

[1]: Infallible when all of your dependencies are also verifiably memory safe. In reality, this is not the case, but I believe that Rust can reliably get much closer to 100% than usual.
Ownership of what the NFT represents isn't irrevocable though, only the NFT itself. Amazon could decide one day to ban you from reading the Kindle books you purchased because you violated their terms of service. An NFT is going to do nothing for you there other than prove that at some point Amazon did recognize that you bought licenses to read some books. But that really not what's under question when looking to appeal the ban with Amazon or bring them to court over it.
One way to deal with this is to divide up your event streams into small streams - say one per order. Those small streams then may be aggregated into a larger stream so that you can just process events for all the orders together, for example.

If you hit a poison message, block just that smaller stream, not the aggregated larger stream. Once you fix the problem, reprocess the entire small stream starting from the poison event, or the next event after that. The "entire" stream here might be just a handful of events.

Greg Young's Event Store (https://www.eventstore.com/) works this way (there's a $by_category projection that produces the aggregated streams).

Caveat: I haven't actually implemented this mechanism because I've been able to get away without it, because we have some legacy event streams that aren't split up in this way, and because nobody else has yet added support for it to the tools I'm using.
The world suddenly makes sense doesn’t it?
But the Rust safety guarantees aren't about eyeballs, they're about boring mechanical processes, the same difference as say, having your CI run unit tests and refuse to provide artefacts if the tests fail versus telling developers "Make sure you run the tests before shipping a release" which they will promptly forget to do.

The machine doesn't get bored. The fact Rust may not be "cool" any more doesn't alter the fact that your subsystem maintainer isn't going to accept your patch that doesn't compile because you tried to take the lock for foo, but then used locked variable bar - something C has no problem with but which in Rust of course does not compile.

> I don’t understand the gymnastics

100 corporations produce 70% of the pollution, this is the common mantra right? I don’t think there’s any gymnastics here. It’s clear that the unchecked power of corporations - structures entirely dedicated to profit - has lead to unchecked damages against the environment as single men are enabled to take terrible actions and then hide (legally speaking) behind the amorphous profit entity.

Perhaps this is “human nature” in as much as the nature of the most depraved of us is to destroy everything in pursuit of self interest, but it’s, philosophically speaking, an extremely weak and narrow-minded argument you make here to imply the modern man is to blame for the modern problems, and not those powerful in his society
It takes about 5 seconds to read an average length comment.

Lets just assume perfect efficiency and then handicap it to account for lunch, peeing, pooping, killer bee attacks, etc. How about peak efficiency * 3/8, which basically says you only expect your workers to 'work' 40 hours per week, but in an 8 hour day only actually get 3 hours of work done?

Lets say a long youtube comment takes about a minute to read at most, and since we aren't going to quiz people for comprehension later we just need them to see if there is anything objectionable in the comment, we can take 1 minute to be a hard upper bound for the time it takes to handle one comment. The shortest comments take around 5 seconds. Let's assume the average is about 15 seconds (most comments are less than 1/4 the length of the longest comments).

So given the above they can do (3 hours/day * 60 minutes/hour) * 4 comments/minute == 720 comments/day. If we are forced to hire in the US we can easily find people to do this work for $25/hour working from home.

So every human review costs ((8*25)/720) == 27 cents. This is like 1/10th of your estimate and I feel like I'm going out of my way to make the numbers unrealistic in your favor.

Realistic numbers would be that it takes 15 seconds per comment on average and you hire people part time so they don't get burned out on reading comments (or full time but only part of their day is spent reviewing comments). With the same numbers as above, but not paying them to poop and pee for 5 hours out of an 8 hour day gets the cost per review to like 8 cents.

IIRC:

Dyson said that the tests weren't representative of real use, and that if they used a vacuum cleaner all the way from empty to full, Dyson's would score much better. A court agreed that the tests weren't good and ordered improvement. Dyson then asked for financial compensation. A court said the tests weren't bad enough to warrant any compensation.
Yes, and I saw that comment first and remembered there was another Alexa.

> 100 corporations produce 70% of the pollution, this is the common mantra right?

If you don't ascribe any of the pollution to the individuals and industries using their products, and only to the initial production, sure.

E.g. if you blame the company making the gasoline and not the person burning it in their car. Or the company shipping goods to consumers, but not the consumer ordering and receiving them.

I don't view this as a particularly useful way to view things, though.

That is, capitalism is really efficient at delivering on what end-customers want. If that ends up being bad in some way, well-- the only solution is one of:

* Convince people not to want the thing

* Prevent the thing from causing the harm, by regulation or taxing the externality

* Choose a less efficient economic system and hope that the problem goes away by being less efficient
I love this because it's vindicating Rich Sutton's essay titled "The Bitter Lesson".

http://www.incompleteideas.net/IncIdeas/BitterLesson.html

"The biggest lesson that can be read from 70 years of AI research is that general methods that leverage computation are ultimately the most effective, and by a large margin. The ultimate reason for this is Moore's law, or rather its generalization of continued exponentially falling cost per unit of computation."

And now we are beating out Moore's law!

> Oh, by the way, Spain never had colonies. They had provinces and everyone in those provinces was just as citizen of the empire as someone from current Spain.

Um. Okay. A colony is:

1. "an area over which a foreign nation or state extends or maintains control"

and

2. "a group of people who establish residence in that area and who retain ties with the parent state."[1]

So, to say that Spain had no colonies is patently false- it most certainly had pockets of emigrants from the homeland who were still culturally tied to it and under its rule (the Philippines, Louisiana, any number of Caribbean islands, colonial Mexico, and the list goes on and on during Siglo de Oro and beyond).

Passive contribution/enabling is not the same as actively killing. It's just not. It's still worthy of condemnation, but it's not as worthy of condemnation as active, actual point-the-gun-and-pull-the-trigger killing.

All this kind of rhetoric does is make people think your moral compass is completely uncalibrated, and makes you look like a person to ignore.

There's an interesting position in "The Dawn of Everything" by Graeber and Wengrow wherein they argue that the isolation that the Americas were allowed gives us a palette of alternative social constructions. The influence of the Greeks, the Alexandrian, the Roman and the cultural modalities of the Mediterranean an no doubt the various other groups of considerable power and most importantly the emergent interplay. Moreover the eventual concretion of hierarchical structure in the most elementary facets of life, lead to the assent of man to such hierarchy, thus pushing forward the ideological model of European states. This, perhaps, leveraged the equalization of man in the eyes of god to be convincing.

To put it concisely, Europeans were deluded into the belief that hierarchy was ever-present - something which is heavily discredited historically. Further rationalizations that it must be so for a "developed, complex" society is evidently made spurious as well.

The various peoples of the Americas on the other hand, lacking in these diverse influences, and instead developing their own systems often altogether eschewed hierarchy and formalized coercive powers. Men and women in some cultures were very explicitly equal, and chiefs held little in the way of formal power. They were public speakers, and they had to present rational and convincing arguments - the rational tradition. This is a stark contrast to the feudal system and the heavy influence of the Roman Catholic church at the time. DoE suggests that certain figures had considerable influence on later though, providing citations from philosophers such as Montesquieu.

Their key argument comes from a highly-referenced individual named Kandiaronk, who is quite probably the basis for Adario in Baron Lahontan's books (evidently very popular), of particular interest:

"Finally, Supplement aux Voyages ou Dialogues avec le sauvage Adario lambasts institutional Christianity by means of a dialogue between de Lahontan and a Huron Chief named Adario (The Rat). The author attempts to contrast the injustice of Christianity with the freedom and justice of native people. His idealized view of "natural humanity" as a vehicle for criticizing European civilization was a forceful early expression of the "noble savage" trope associated with the Enlightenment."[1]

Evidently, Lahontan's writings were very popular:

"All these would be rather trivial concerns had Lahontan’s books not been so successful; but they were to have an enormous impact on European sensibilities. Kandiaronk’s opinions were translated into German, English, Dutch and Italian, and continued in print, in multiple editions, for over a century. Any self-respecting intellectual of the eighteenth century would have been almost certain to have read them." [2]

Coming from that point of reference, it wouldn't be surprising that Spain, having decades worth of exclusive exposure, would come out leading "liberal" thought. But is it fair to assert that it was Europeans that initiated it if it is so that they were inspired by the natives of the New World?

This is one of the contentious points in trade between the USA and the EU: The EU does not allow preventive antibiotic use, but the USA does. Same for growth hormones. As a result, USA meat can not be imported in the EU. USA claims this is foul play, protectionism, against WTO rules.

Now the EU does allow curative antibiotic usage on animals, so I wonder if this is actually such a big difference. If a vet prescribes antibiotics for the slightest reason, there might not be much changed in reality.

The detectors we have are just sensitive enough to detect the spin down when two objects 50+ times the size of the sun merge into a single new object. The gravity in the direction of the objects decreases permanently by the delta of the mass expended creating gravity waves, which is shift too small to measure.

I expect it may be possible in the future to confirm this, very small, persistent shift in spacetime, but not in my lifetime.

One of the big reasons not to share tools that would otherwise increase productivity in a corporate settings, is that people are petty a*holes. They will fall into at least three big negative buckets.

1. Those who will see it as a personal insult if you write something useful and you will then have a target on your back as they work to block you and hurt your career so you never show them up again.

2. Those who could care less about improving productivity and in fact would rather that everything is tedious, error-prone, and time-consuming so that at least it's mindless for them to go about their day.

3. Those who see everything they don't understand through a lens of fear and hatred. They will not understand your tool OR why it is helpful, and will instead see it as an alien invasion or viral infestation in their workspace, and will work concertedly to resist it.

Interestingly, Apple could also cause problems to TSMC. Because of Apple-first policy, at least two major chip manufacturers* are moving away from TSMC. One is even completely obsoleting a line of products that was previously being manufactured at TSMC.

In particular, no way to search from the issue tab, no way to search over comments only in issues (or only in merge requests), no way to combine a text search with label/milestone/status filters, etc.
