Ask HN: How does Rosetta 2 actually work?
Apple's docs say that Rosetta 2 works by translating x86 code into ARM64 code when an application starts up and then running the resulting ARM code natively. But that can't actually be true because if I use dlopen to load a dynamic library at runtime, the architecture of the library has to match the architecture of the executable that called dlopen or it results in an error (Error opening shared library foo.dylib : dlopen(foo.dylib, 0x000A): tried: 'foo.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64')

So at a minimum, dlopen can invoke Rosetta again in this case. But why thrown an error? Why not allow an x86 application to open an ARM library if it is actually ARM code at run-time?

The situation is actually even weirder than that because there is an application (Clozure Common Lisp) that produces x86 code at run time but does not go through dlopen, it just writes x86 opcodes directly into memory (AFAIK). And yet, it works when run under Rosetta. How is that possible?

All of the evidence indicates to me that Rosetta is actually an emulator and not a translator. But why would Apple misrepresent this? It makes no sense.
I don't know if that's true or not, but I'm glad I don't have to use "pegged" coins... unless they have 100% backing from what is being pegged.
I understand, but that was not the argument I was replying to. The original comment was far broader.

Ugh. I’m not even on Facebook or active on Twitter and I have the same. I need to read the newspaper. Then I need to know the Economist’s and The Guardian’s and the NY Times’ view on the daily news as well. Plus I need to keep up to date on the COVID situation and the war in Ukraine. Oh and I’m also behind on Better Call Saul. And I need to watch 1917 and Dune. And I want to read at least 10 pages in a novel every day. And my RSS feeds.

Oh, and I have a full time job and I need to exercise and I want to be in bed by 23:00.

If you look above, I've provided the specific citations to the sub-sections of the California Constitution's Article I which codify the prohibition of preferential treatment based upon race.

Indeed, there was a nearly-successful attempt in 2020 to amend the California Constitution to eliminate those clauses, because the state wished to engage in "positive" discrimination which is prohibited by the Constitution. A narrow majority defeated that amendment.

As to whether the (very clear) Constitutional prohibitions are applied universally and equally, I will leave that as an exercise to the reader.

Depending on the extent to which this is impacting your life (for example, does it extend to your interpersonal relationships?), you may want to be assessed by a psychiatrist for Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD). This is one of the cluster C PDs. There's a book called Distancing: Avoidant Personality Disorder by Kantor that might help you evaluate whether this is something that might apply to you.

The good news is that unlike some other clinical PDs, AvPD is fairly amenable to cognitive-behavioral and other forms of treatment.

As others have noted, you might just have garden variety anxiety (which is also treatable), or something related like ADHD. If this is really impacting your life, it's worthwhile getting assessed properly.
If you aren't willing to stop using social media, then I suggest cultivating cynicism. Don't take anything you watch or read at face value. Always ask yourself what agenda the people you follow are pushing, and what benefit they get from pushing that agenda.

Cui bono (who benefits?) is one of the most useful questions you'll ever learn to ask.
You could explore the archived content from the Strange Loop conference (or another conference of your choice). Topics run the gamut of what's interesting and trending in "languages, libraries, tools, and techniques." Another approach that might help you find jumping off points for topics would be to review how we got here with a book like Ideas that Created the Future: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/ideas-created-future. If you're primarily interested in opinionated lists of new libraries and stacks, Thoughtworks' Technology Radar https://www.thoughtworks.com/radar is a nice compilation that's updated on a somewhat regular basis.

One meal a day fast is the most convenient way to lose weight I think.

Also, to echo the top commentator, aside from the physical benefits of losing weight; another great effect is the mental clarity that fasting gives since less attention is given to eating and so moving away from living to eat.

Also, sugar drinks is fine I think, and is an easy way to get some energy in moderation.
I am hoping to actually produce software that helps patients navigate autoimmune issues and neuropathies. I had a reaction to a drug that mimicked many diseases and had to go down the rabbit hole myself and find reliable sources of information for many things.

I also found that doctors are just awful, they don't have enough time to hear about 10+ symptoms that may be common with complex autoimmune or neurological issues. I never received proper referral. I have been to Mayo clinic, which was close to proper diagnosis but decided against blaming the drug.

As far as reddit and facebook being a huge source of misinformation, I have to disagree. Some groups are awful. However, the SFN subreddit has great document written by a frustrated physician. Many autoimmune groups link to research papers and non-profit organizations which provide databases of doctors interested in treating particular issues.

One just needs to understand that some commenters are just average people who may or may not be well informed on the subject. However, the wikis and documents on those support groups are generally fantastic.
> This Roe v Wade thing? We could have a referendum and be done with it.

I don't think "be done with it" on abortion is remotely possible. The two sides are completely intractable. In my long life I've never heard anyone be persuaded by the other side.

Besides, overturning RvW will not federally prohibit abortion. It will leave it up to the states, which will decide democratically.

This satisfies nobody.

For example, here in Washington State, there is no chance that abortion will be outlawed by the State. But that hasn't stopped major demonstrations protesting the Supreme Court.

He said they later learned it's known that women react to fasting differently and can have negative side effects, which we also discovered from our doctor when trying to get pregnant - so don't really see anything anecdotal there.

> As a player improves, they start to know what they're supposed to do in more and more situations (compare the way a novice agonizes over an opening pawn move in chess with the way advanced players often speed through the opening moves).

Chess is a particularly bad example because you can memorize openings.

In Fischer random chess, the starting positions of the pieces are randomized, so even advanced players will agonize over the opening move.

Isn't parking Billions of dollars in reserve a waste of capital?
I agree with this. Power users are a tiny market compared to “people who can’t reasonably fit a modern phone in their pocket.”

But if you have to keep your phone in a purse anyways, why not just get a big one?

So mostly the people in that market who still care are the ones who can’t or don’t want to carry a purse, which is also a smaller market. (I’m in this market though, so i am sad)

As I've noted a few times:

- Smil's studied material usage in depth for years.

- This article is a very brief introduction to the topic. His book goes into more detail than this exerpt, and the chapter from which this article is based does break down plastics use in somewhat more detail.

- He especially emphasized healthcare applications, though I don't find a detailed quantification or exploration of why this is. (I'm still reading through his book, though guided in part by questions such as yours.)

- Use-reduction has been advocated for something on the order of five decades, since the early environmental movement. To date it's not been particularly effective, best I can tell.

That said:

- No, Smil doesn't discuss use reduction in depth. To the extent he's focusing on describing the problem rather than addressing solutions, that's consistent with the general theme of the book.

- Recycling does net 45 mentions in the book. Much of that is addressed at animal and human waste as alternatives to artificial fertiliser.

In general, materials are adopted based on a set of factors, incuding cost, characteristics, flexibility, and convenience. Plastics have substituted for other materials including organics (plant and animal) of limited quantities, ceramics, paper (with its own sets of issues), and more. Much as fossil fuels substituted for mostly biomass-based fuel sources as those were exhausted, plastics have substituted for earlier alternatives (ceramics, wood, glass, metal, paper) as those proved insufficient, inadequate, expesive, or otherwise problematic.

There is a huge extent to which these practices are dependent on other factors. The self-serve supermarket, a creation of the 1920s--1940s, introduced whole new levels and layers (metaphorically and literally) to consumer packaging. The recent shift toward online ordering / home delivery has shifted these somewhat, though not necessarily in the direction of less packaging.

My view: if you want people to use fewer plastics, raise the costs. Most probably through taxes or other fees. Beware second-order effects, however.

Claiming Smil is dishonest seems to me itself ... dishonest.
The thing I never understood about the headphone jack and its disappearance: it doesn't need to be a jack. It need only be three contact points. You could have it on the outside rim of a phone and have a magnetic sheath hold the headphone pin to it. But I suppose it's not just about getting rid of the jack itself but also any DAC component? (But, isn't it doing that anyway for the speaker?)

> Sure. But that means tanking the quality. It doesn't magically keep the quality just because it started as DD+.

I'd say "marginally degrade" rather than tank. DD at 640 kbps is pretty close to transparent, and E-AC-3 to AC-3 transcoding uses hybrid recompression to avoid the full quality hit of lossless -> lossless.
Thanks, that's a good catch.
I went deep on the Pine64 ecosystem, the RockPro64s are pretty nifty with all their inputs, but all (5) of my Rock devices are collecting dust because, like OP, I discovered the ecosystem is still embryonic. I think progress will continue to be made, just at a snails pace.
I have a unihertz Atom XL.

Pros:

- Battery lasts for 3 days with my usage (browsing when not at my desk, whatsapp, a handful of calls, android auto)

- Rugged / waterproof (IP68)

- Fits nicely in your hand

- 48 MP camera - not as good as Pixels, but good

- Good dual SIM setup

Cons:

- Thick; probably mostly due to the battery. Doesn't bother me, but if you wear skinny jeans and carry your phone in your front pocket it'll be noticeable

- Just got Android 11

- The built in walkie talkie is something of a gimmick since it chews up battery in standby/monitor mode. I thought it would be a useful backup since we live in the sticks w/o reliable phone signal. Get the Atom L instead
It depends on the app. Some apps (like Telegram) request it that way. Other apps (like GroupMe) can somehow tap into your photos reel without requesting the full superhuge blanket permission like that. I could be wrong but as I recall that's my experience.
>It's such a shame that there isn't more research in this area.

From what I've seen there is actually research into it and the weight loss/fitness benefits don't seem to be any better than any other calorie restriction when equating calories (slightly worse for muscle mass when combined with exercise in one study IIRC), and other claims seem overblown.

Layne Norton has a couple of good study reviews (eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PyBoKSv2tI)

Some camera manufacturers offer software that uses your mirrorless camera to emulate a webcam without requiring a capture card.

For example, Fujifilm's X Webcam software[1] would allow the author to connect his X-S10 to his PC using a USB-C cable, and use it as a webcam. The downside is X Webcam lacks support for Linux.

Early into the pandemic, I was experimenting with an Elgato Cam Link as an alternative to a webcam. However, I never got the setup to work reliably with MacOS and MS Teams (e.g., random disconnects). Has this changed over the years and become a good solution suitable for daily usage? Currently, I'm using a Logitech Brio with two video lights; the quality isn't amazing but at least everything works out of the box.

Maybe in a bull market. During bull markets people were singing the praise of Enron CEO too, not to mention Lehman Brothers CEO.

A bear market changes the perception and a techno-utopian cult leader can very rapidly become a security fraudster.
I actually really want a smaller screen, though. I have smaller hands and I want to be able to reach across it one-handed without having to precariously adjust my grip.
Interesting, though in the context of major material usage (e.g., concrete, particularly in infrastructure), of limited applicability.

Some merits in construction. The more so if the location isn't earthquake-prone. But not so much for, say, rail systems, bridges, or long-distance pipelines and the like.

While not an economist, I've read enough economic papers that I actually agree with Wikipedia's definition. You can "plug-in" values to your dead weight loss calculation depending on judgement calls. For example, do you consider the fact that the carbon footprint of an object is ignored a subsidy? If so, your dead weight loss calculation changes. Suddenly you're trying to discount cash flow against the future cost of carbon removal and things are very complicated.
> spending more on hardware than you probably should

Should is a tricky word. What is OPs income? What's the rest of their budget look like. What standards are you applying to their spending habits? What hardships do your models forecast for OP as a result of their hobby?

If you know what OP should do, presumably you have this data and can provide your numbers.
one of the reasons newer iphones "feel like a brick" is that they transitioned to heavier materials (stainless steel instead of aluminum) and because the corners are now squared. rounding corners often has the effect of making things seem thinner as well as usually making things more pleasant to hold. I agree with you that these users probably don't want a thicker iphone, but I would bet if you focused on perceived bulkiness in the industrial design, you could sneek in a slightly larger battery and still give the impression of a less bulky device.
I am also planning to move from a 4a, and at this point it would be either a Sharp R7 (probably not available internationally though) or a Sony Xperia 10 IV.

The Sony seems to be the best alternative though I have no idea of the software quality.
Best reply. Envy is gross. Such a socially destructive vice.
I'm definitely an edge case for music. I've been obsessed with metal since the mid-90s, and have downloaded quite literally every release. Unfortunately, the streaming services don't seem to care much about having a complete (or even particularly good) catalog of metal, so some of my favorite bands and albums don't exist on those platforms. This is made worse due to a significant portion of metal bands being off the grid, with little-to-zero web presence outside of a Metal Archives[1] listing.

This obsession has led to developing a system for filtering releases into lists of albums that I actually enjoy, so I don't miss anything good. I download 100% of releases and throw all of them into Winamp, then play the second track -- there are a lot of atmospheric intro tracks in metal. If the first 1s doesn't grab me, I skip to about 0:30 and give it another 2-3s. If nothing grabs my attention or it's a sub-genre that I'm not interested in, the album gets removed from the playlist.

Anything remaining at the end gets a full track 2 play, and if the whole song meets my approval, I'll listen to the whole album. If the album is something I'd listen to more than a few times, it goes on the permanent playlist -- currently at ~450 albums and another ~500 random tracks.

It’s weird; If I was affected by a bug on Cloudflare, my first instinct would not be to start giving them money in order to be allowed to inform them about it.
For a phone that is not intended for heavy use (cramped screen, average screen-on time), 8GB of RAM seems like a pricey choice.

Also, stock Android can be a mixed blessing. My guess this is mostly used as synonymous to "no bloatware". But stock Android doesn't necessarily translate to a better user experience, or to software updates for a longer time.

If you're willing to throw $1000 at a "proper camera" of the sort the author recommends, then sure, it would be very disappointing if it didn't outperform the webcam built in to most laptops or phones.

But is there a "proper camera" for under $100 that can also offer an improvement over a webcam?
For multiplayer video games, this has essentially never been true.

For me, the people who want smaller phones are the textbook example of a vocal minority. I've read so many Hacker News and r/apple threads about how people love and miss phones you can use with one hand. And then every few years a phone manufacturer will try it, and it won't sell at all.

I almost think people with small phones just underestimate how much they'd be able to adjust to a larger phone.
Sure. And the correct way to deal with that is to recognize that everybody is speaking from their own perspective, relative to their own circumstances and income, not to demand that every person's posts contain an encyclopaedic rundown of every possible perspective every other person on the planet may have on a price.

Because to expect the latter is both ridiculous and impossible.
