I think it's cute he assumed he got a bad sensor replaced.. following the story, it's more probable the shop replaced two good sensors and never the actual bad one until the end. Seems far more reasonable explanation of the whole episode.
One fun bit is that you need 2 RAM sticks, and to install them (usually) with 1 socket of gap in between, or you're leaving memory bandwidth and CPU performance on the table (especially on AMD).
Yes and no. After the CISC vs RISC war was over I also though ISAs where implementation details.

But from what I’ve read, having different length instructions makes extracting parallelism way harder. That’s why Apple can make such crazy wide machines.
Well, one thing about liquid fuel vs solid fuel is that you can move the fuel to a new reactor and, uh... ?"recycle"? / ?"overhaul"? the old one. So you could use one for 7 years why the other is retrofitted. You'd need two reactors... or... you'd need 8 and seven are online while 1 is replaced per year.

So unless materials is solved, you need scalability and replacement. At least the OTHER problem with solid fuel, lots of waste, is generally not a problem with breeder reactors and liquids. You remove the fission products from the fluid and feed it back in. I'm no chemist so I don't know all the separation nastiness involved, but it's better than carting ten thousand year waste across the country to Yucca.

So the question is, what about the other reactor designs, don't they need replacement with respect to the vessel? And as I understand it, fusion reactors also have issues with high speed neutrons so their vessels would need periodic replacement, even if they get to sustained ignition and positive energy.

Your replacement containment layers seems like the "constant replacement" strategy. What if you could simply inject a new layer that hardens and pushes out the older layer?

Also, why not have solid uranium or some similar material as the inner container? Could simple saturation of the existing uranium in the salt prevent excessive wear?

I wonder how much of this approval is because the Chinese brought one online.

The correct phrasing is, "Alcohol is the worst drug to be addicted to". Slightly different from OP, it just removes morality from the issue.

I definitely understand your apprehension to this idea, however, someone I know very intimately is an alcoholic. They've said this phrase to me before and it wasn't clear until they explained their position from their perspective:

There is no other drug that is as socially accepted and harmfully addictive as alcohol. Keep in mind that you can die from alcohol withdrawals and even without dying you might wish you had. The same drug that can do that is stocked on shelves, easily accessible, advertised on TV, and passed out for free at times. Additionally, addiction to alcohol is cyclical. Many people drink out of anxiety, that anxiety is cured while drunk until the person begins to sober up. Then the alcohol fuels more anxiety which continues the cycle.

This phrase isn't meant to discount the experience of other addicts but moreso to express the unique difficulty that alcoholics may experience in the world.
You vastly underestimate the effort involved in a port of something like an OS.

There are the things you say you believe, and there are the things your actions show you believe. This extends well past simple matters of time in computers.

Some of my favorite things lie in the fractal fringe categories between those, such as, "the things you didn't realize you believed (by your actions) until someone pointed them out to you" and "the things you didn't realize you should believe (in any sense) until someone pointed them out to you, at which point they seemed blindingly obvious and you can't believe you missed it".

IMO it's worth distinguishing between what the OS allows and what the OS vendor supports. The macOS kernel still has a lot of FreeBSD heritage, including the ability to make direct syscalls, but Apple only guarantees compatibility for syscalls made via libSystem.

This is a reflection of historical differences in opinion about whether the stable ABI for an OS kernel should be the kernel itself (ala Linux), libc (ala Solaris or OpenBSD), or a language-agnostic library (Windows NT's ntdll).

macOS seems to be in a transition period toward the Windows model, with libSystem providing trampolines into the kernel. However, they don't yet enforce this model like OpenBSD does, so if you're willing to risk the syscall numbers changing you can do without libSystem.

Here's an example, lightly adapted from <https://john-millikin.com/unix-syscalls#darwin-x86-64>:

.data
.set L_STDOUT, 1
.set L_SYSCALL_EXIT, 0x2000001
.set L_SYSCALL_WRITE, 0x2000004
L_message:
.ascii "Hello, world!\n"
.set L_message_len, . - L_message

.text
.global start
start:
# write(STDOUT, message, message_len)
mov $L_SYSCALL_WRITE, %rax
mov $L_STDOUT, %rdi
lea L_message(%rip), %rsi
mov $L_message_len, %rdx
syscall

# exit(0)
mov $L_SYSCALL_EXIT, %rax
mov $0, %rdi
syscall

Compile (assemble?) it to a static binary:

$ as -arch x86_64 hello.S -o hello.o
$ ld -arch x86_64 -o hello -static hello.o
$ file hello
hello: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

It runs fine:

$ ./hello
Hello, world!

I'm the author of this post. I don't know why I had so much trouble picking up my own sensors. I agree, I've seen a lot of people say they can pick them up from pretty far away too. I'm still not sure about my antenna situation, but I just picked up a couple of Citroen sensors from a car driving by (~75 ft away) and they reported 130 and 131 kPa. I also saw one that was reporting 123 kPa during one of my drives while troubleshooting. Although my own "Citroen" sensors are definitely reporting the correct pressures, I'm thinking maybe there's another model that reports half of the actual pressure or something.

I'm also curious why they report a manufacturer of "Citroen". Isn't that a French automobile manufacturer? I wonder if someone originally observed this protocol on a Citroen car, but it's really just one of the main protocols used by the big TPMS sensor manufacturers like Schrader. I really doubt the sensors on my Dodge Ram are made by Citroen...
No. Kiwifarms requires cloudflare DDoS protection to stay operational. Denying them that service would pose a serious issue to its continued existence, possibly leading to it going off the internet.

This.

grep + sort + awk = unbelievable single person task management effectiveness. And it was right under my nose all the while.

I don’t think so. There’s been support for “other OSs” from the start with the M line. I was actually pleasantly surprised by this.

I don’t think they will change their minds. It brings value to the platform while offering little threat.

I think we’ll be seeing a boot camp version of ARM Windows as soon as Microsoft solves its licensing issues.
If you want to get pedantic, the source code isn't the tool used for money laundering, it is a description of the tool. An idea.

And github took it down because they fear government reprisals for publishing it. Getting nitpicky about whether you personally call that censorship or not seems like it's being deliberately obtuse, surely you understand the intent and accept it's a reasonable use of the word.

(What's more censorship can even apply to purely private actions under common definitions, and can also be objectionable especially depending on the motive.)

> Now, should the source code to that project be available from other, more trustworthy maintainers? Maybe.

Should an idea be censored if one person publishes it, but allowed to be published by others? I can't follow the logic behind that. There are reasonable arguments for censorship, but they're almost all based on the content of what is published. The only exception I can think of are false or unfounded claims where the knowledge and intent and perception of the person publishing could be factors. That doesn't apply here though, so what's your reasoning?

> But the idea that this is some kind of oppression of innocent open source hackers is... really not what's happening. And pretending otherwise seems unserious to me.

Pretending censorship isn't censorship because it may not fall neatly under a clause in a country's constitution doesn't seem serious to me.
TFA is kinda wrong about them being disabled by default. They are behind a define macro, but that macro is enabled by default on the makefiles that ship with SQLite. I'd certainly expect them to be available in a normal build of SQLite.

> if nobody has bothered to send in a patch

Quoting from SQLite:

> SQLite is open-source, meaning that you can make as many copies of it as you want and do whatever you want with those copies, without limitation. But SQLite is not open-contribution.

They pretty tightly control who can contribute to the code base for a few reasons .. they don't accept patches from the outside.
I’d you haven’t used a drill to attach a computer to a network, you can’t appreciate how easy things are these days…
I am curious. Is that allowed as part of ARM's licensing? It would be surprising that ARM is okay with that, unless Apple bullied them into allowing them to call and market it as Apple silicon.

>The shelter was originally intended to house 300 refugees a month, but by summer 1992 it was averaging 11,500 refugees per month. Primarily Roma from Romania

I wish we never had a high limit. We went through painstaking transfers over to their Corp Card infrastructure and now have to switch to something else.

Because I have to switch to something else and they're completely incompetent / unwilling to work with us (not sure which one it is, but I think it's primarily the first one), we're gonna switch payment providers too. No reason to give them any business if they're going to make my dev team and managers do a shitload of work.

I'm not a nuke physicist, but I recall LFTR presentations on the "safety plug" to stop meltdown: basically a plug melts and the fluid flows into a shallow pool.

Since the fluid is "thinned", neutron economy plummets and chain reactions stop.

In addition, I though the fluid would expand a bit under high heat in the reactor, which would drop neutron economy as well, so a fluid can somewhat self-moderate.

So unless the fluid is in a ball or tank where the neutron economy is maintained in three dimensions, if you drain it out it no longer has the neutron economy.

So what they probably are saying is that since the fuel is fluid, and if you need to replace the moderator, you drain the fuel (and as stated above, that stops the reaction as well) and replace the moderator.
This seems very, very unlikely to me. RISC-V is a very similar architecture to AArch64; I haven't heard a reason to expect it to have improved performance or efficiency. (Its only distinguishing feature (that I know of) is compressed instructions -- which ARM used to have (THUMB mode) before dropping support in AArch64, so presumably it doesn't help on Apple's systems with their huge caches and high memory bandwidth.)

Rather, RISC-V's primary advantage over ARM is its openness; vendors can do whatever they want with the ISA without having to pay license fees or maintain compatibility. But this doesn't affect Apple at all; they co-founded ARM, and they have a huge amount of influence over the direction of the architecture along with some sort of special license that allows them to do things other CPU vendors aren't allowed to do (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29782840, https://twitter.com/stuntpants/status/1346470705446092811).

Developing an entirely new high-end CPU mircoarchitecture takes many years and many billions of dollars. It's not something Apple's going to do unless they have a very, very good reason -- and RISC-V being really cool is unfortunately not a good enough reason.

That’s a very myopic view. Cryptocurrencies only have any amount of privacy on chain. Once you use cryptocurrencies on other platforms, or to transact with real world assets or people, you have a huge amount of other identifying metadata now linked to your pseudoanonymous wallet.

> But let's have a random arm-chair HN poster tell Tim Cook how to run Apple.

No one's telling Tim Cook how to run Apple; just stating facts about how the world works. Tim Cook (presumably) wants the best developers. The best developers have many good options to choose from when it comes to where and how they work.

That means if Tim Cook wants the best talent he needs to give them a really compelling offer. And for many of the most talented individuals, a job that requires commuting 2+ hours a day in Bay traffic is not "really compelling", never mind the nightmare that is the Bay Area housing market.

I'll grant that there are advantages to having everyone working face to face, but do those advantages outweigh the fact that you're going to take a noticeable talent hit as a result of not offering remote work? Neither one of us has a crystal ball, but my bet is "No".

Tim Cook is free to make his own bet and deal with the consequences, which he seems to be aware of, hence the hesitation on his part vs. just laying down the law. I suppose we'll find out the answer to this debate in 10 to 20 years.
you have direct control over that.

I do a lot of mentoring with younger engineers. They're surprised the first few times that when we start debugging a problem, the first thing we do is check all of the things that "have to be working" instead of just trying to dig for a bug right where the error looks like it's coming from.
It is all based on OSM data. And I haven't checked in a few months but I believe Maplibre, which is doing the rendering, require the tiles all be in Web Mercator, which is an earth based coordinate system. So you would probably need to hack together something to change the underlying data into what you want. The easiest one would be changing place names and borders on Earth.
