If you're going to use Linux, I'd just recommend getting an actually-supported laptop like the Framework or something. If you're going to get the Mac, I wouldn't futz around with trying to install an OS that still lacks webcam support and ARM packaging for common apps like Zoom. As for Windows... unless you intend to use it as a gaming laptop, I'd probably skip it. Docker simply works the best on Linux, but I'm sure you've already heard that before.

Our neighbor got long covid. Went from a very active, helpful and involved community member .. into a recluse who lost his job, has not been able to function let alone work for almost 2 years now, and combined with economic strain is now facing bankruptcy and a divorce. Dramatic and tragic outcome for something that is "just the flu". My dad's take on it? "bad genes". For those suffering, to hear such casual dismissal is just salt in the wound.
Agree, generally. But LOC depends on the language. 13k lines in Clojure can make almost anything.

One constraint C has is its ABI. Bolin compilation model is different (article went up last week) and being constrained by it would be pointless. C allows unsigned variables to wrap, bolin doesn't (not enforced yet, beta is 0.1.0). If my team and I wanted to compete with speed we'd be handicapped by C constrains. This current article shows a reason why you might want to use posix read instead of fread/fgets, the Bolin compiler doesn't use libc or any other lib at the moment because we wanted it to be fast and because we knew we'd be writing our own libraries.

How do you suppose people can get rid of constrains that would make their language slower? I hear the whole reason carbon exist is because google couldn't get the C++ committee to budge on ABI

I think your hate is unwarranted. I also never understood the pricing argument, it's not all about the cpus and memory and such, there's nothing in the windows world that comes close to build quality, battery quality and durability. If you're a software engineer working with docker a lot, a few hundred dollars shouldn't matter that much for a tool you'll use every day for years.

The M1 is amazing, battery is insane, I'm running 20+ docker containers, python, elixir, react/vue on the 8gb M1 air without a hitch. My main work machine is a linux desktop, but I'm considering buying a Mac Studio as my next one.

> have successfully stopped nearly all drug use and trade with heavy-handed policies.

Like Indonesia for instance? It has one of the strictest drug laws in the world supposedly. Yet 70% of the people imprisoned in the country were convicted of drug related crimes. They had this policy for many years, yet this is what their president said a few years back:

On July 21, 2017, Jokowi stated that Indonesia was in a state of emergency due to widespread drug use, consequently instructing law enforcement officers that “if [narcotics suspects] resist a little bit, just shoot them immediately.”

Which would that their strict policies, far from having stopped nearly all drug trade and consumption, were a complete failure.

Also around 2% of all people in the country are active drug users.

> but it did work

So no, it didn’t

> but it’s intellectually dishonest to say that it can’t work

Yes. Theoretically if you imprison or shot every drug user fast enough and your police force is not thoroughly corrupt it might work. Not sure both of these things can ever be compatible in practice, though.

I hate this way of thinking. Einstein never thought that it's impossible to measure gravitational waves, he just couldn't imagine any way we could ever make instruments precise enough to do so.

However, measuring the state of the singularity that probably existed before inflation, or even more so, measuring anything about how that in itself came to be, is explicitly impossible given our current theories. As impossible as building a space ship that travels faster than light, or measuring the precise position and velocity of a particle.

These are not technological issues: finding a way to do them would mean a completely new paradigm in science. So any paper that attempts to prove these things without presenting a new paradigm is doomed to the "we will never know" bag.

Well, we don't really know if nature/reality has an infinite precision. Perhaps you don't need an irrational Pi to compute everything up to maximum accuracy. That said, the irrational number Pi in its mathematical abstraction is extremely useful and just as "real" in its abstract mathematical domain.

Not every step of math has to be mapped to something physically real in order to math to be useful to describe the real world.

Imaginary numbers per se may not have a direct mapping to any physical magnitude, but complex numbers nevertheless are very useful to accurately describe real world phenomena. You just don't need to focus in the wrong detail and lose the bigger picture off sight.

IPMI is one of the foundations of what iLO/iDRAC n that do for a living.

They are really useful - I've used them countless times to do updates and so on from afar. It's a bloody long drive from say South Somerset to say Hull in Yorkshire to pick up the pieces from breaking a boot loader. Instead I can mount a boot .ISO locally and after a while a remote box is running an installer or repair image.

However, ideally put them on their own VLAN to protect your stuff from them and do only allow access from the outside via a VPN. Never port forward to one directly or IPv6 allow direct inward access.

Ruby is not necessarily more resource hogging than PHP, but the way typical ruby webapps deployed (all workers processes started immediately and left idling to wait for requests) leads to higher memory usage compared to low traffic PHP webapp (worker processes only started when requests is coming and shutdown afterwards, so you can host a lot of small traffics sites in a small server). If PHP webapps are deployed with similar process lifecycle, I imagine it would consume similar resources.

For medium and high traffic webapps, the difference is moot because you're going to end up with a large amount of worker processes to handle all those traffics anyway regardless of how you initially spawn them.

Spain has the 3rd installed capacity of solar power in Europe[1] and 2nd position in wind power[2]. It could be much better but also much worse :)

The previous government in Spain halted lots of funding for new power plants but as far as I know there is a lots of projects going on now. I expect to see a significant increment in the next years.

Also, in the Netherlands most of solar is installed in roofs, while in Spain is almost anecdotal. The previous government made difficult for individuals to install solar at home. Now that's gone but there is no subsidies, so individuals have to pay most of the installation from their own pockets, which are much more shallow than the dutch.

Going to tread lightly here, but here is the section on 4 "facts" about long COVID:

> In this note, I use two survey datasets to document four facts about long COVID in the United States. First, long-term COVID symptoms are much more prevalent among women, adults under 65, Hispanics and Latinos, and non–college graduates than among other demographic groups. Second, COVID "long haulers" cite specific physical and cognitive impairments commonly associated with the condition in media and medical reporting. Third, the share of working-age adults reporting serious difficulty remembering, concentrating, or making decisions has risen steadily since the start of the pandemic. Fourth, growing shares of women and of non–college graduates report simultaneously (i) being out of the labor force due to disability and (ii) experiencing these cognitive difficulties.

I'm generally interested in a good summary of what medical research tells us about long COVID. Reason being I think it's fair to hypothesize that the following facts are at least fair confounding factors:

1. Whenever economic situations become weaker, disability rates rise. This is largely because people who are "on the cusp" may find it worth it to find a job in good times, but in bad times find it's not worth it to "push through" their disability.

2. There has been so much news coverage about long COVID that it's difficult for me to tell how it compares to other long term viral syndromes. E.g. infection with Epstein Barr virus has long been implicated in a lost of long term conditions like CFS and MS. Is long COVID more common in COVID sufferers than these other syndromes are in EB infection?

3. There have been huge societal changes that have occurred in the past couple years that can make it difficult to tease out the effects of COVID alone.

Not trying to discount any individual suffering from long COVID symptoms, but I think caution is warranted when trying to ascertain the effects at a society-wide level, especially when all the data for this article appears to come from self-reports.

Multiple outlets are dedicated to regurgitating repeatedly debunked conspiracy theories and misinformation. What "censorship" are you even talking about?

We've already got them! They're integrated into the "System on Chip" or as chiplets on the package. Just considering Apple's M1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_M1

Because pure-software implementations of algorithms are too "expensive" in terms of power and/or latency, the M1 package has logic blocks that implements a GPU, a Neural Network processor, and H.264/H.265/VP9/JPEG/ProRes codecs. When Apple quotes battery life, the fine print says "1080P HD video with brightness set 8 clicks from bottom". Powering down most of the cores and lighting up just one of the codecs is clearly a good way to achieve 18 hours of battery life.

AMD and Nvidia sell GPU "co-processors" that plays games and has been used for machine learning in "GPU mode" (think games using "software rendering"), but Nvidia GPUs now have "Tensor Cores" to accelerate and decrease the electrical power required for some of the linear algebra functions common with ML. Laptop chips from Intel and AMD will have embedded video on package to eliminate an external GPU.

In my experience it's subtle bugs that don't appear on one platform but do in the other. webcompat is great for true deviations from the spec but there are plenty of cases where things work for no good reason and it's a chore to figure out why.

The authors claim this correlation is likely caused by the mouse paying attention to its dreams, while skeptics say no such conclusion can be made. One skeptic (Blumberg) is pursuing a hypothesis in which, in REM sleep, the brain is test-driving the body.

The article was quite vague about what signals the head direction neurons normally respond to, but this paper [1] seems to suggest that they respond to head-rotation information from the horizontal semicircular canals - in transgenic mice which lack functional horizontal canals, "the neural network for the head direction signal remains intact in these mice, but that the absence of normal horizontal canals results in an inability to control the network properly and brings about an unstable head direction signal."

As we know that the head-direction signals in sleeping mice are not caused by head movement, one of the first questions I would have is whether we can figure out what, if anything, they are responding to - or whether they are like the unstable signals of the transgenic mice. Unfortunately, one cannot ask a mouse to imagine that it is rotating its head and see whether that triggers the head direction cells, but in a setup where the mouse's body and its visual field can be rotated independently, it might be possible to figure out the causal chains (For all I know, this is already well-understood.) If the head direction signals are the unstable output of a network disconnected from its when-awake inputs, and the eye movements are in response to that, they may have nothing to do with dreams.

If Blumberg is right, could dreams be the result of conscious minds trying to make sense of the sort of test signals he proposes?

There is actually a parallel technique nearing the finish line that does sort of this. The gene they moved though is from wheat not another tree species, but still seems to give great blight resistance. Currently the barrier to it is entirely regularity. I believe it would be one of the first plants approved to just be released into the wild without something to prevent it reproducing naturally. The normal anti genetic engineering types are very opposed, but it seems likely it will get approved in the next few years.

However, speaking of governance, what governs Moore’s “law”?

Unlike the “laws of nature” or “laws of society” there is no such clear expectation of a governance in this case. Moore’s law is a rate observation. If it’s governed by anything, it represents our global investment in technological advancement.
It depends on what you mean by "back it up", especially regarding rigor. The more "surprising"/disagreeable an idea is, the more rigor we (or at least I) expect of the arguments.

TSMC is part of the UCIe (Universal Chiplet Interconnect) consortium, so I'd assume they have some capability.

No it is not. I said that the assumption must be that the consensus becomes less wrong over time, not that it is never wrong. Those are two very different statements.
