You have to cross roads. You do so with care. I hike--and that means at times I end up walking along roads with no sidewalk and where most drivers are not expecting pedestrians. I take the working assumption that drivers will not see me, safety only comes from getting away from the road when there's a car about.

>The problem is no politician has real solutions in this area.

I disagree. Policy changes are one necessary piece of puzzle in addition to innovation and investments. Hopefully the policies in the Inflation Reduction Act recently passed in the US are just the start of this.

>I think the reason is because climate change is blamed on individual behavior, rather than the fact that in current year our entire civilization is consuming more and more power and that is probably not going to decrease

Yes, that is a narrative that is being pushed hard by fossil fuel industry. Indeed, the total energy consumption of the world is going to skyrocket as developing nations improve their infrastructure and quality of life of their citizens. There's no silver bullet. We need to aim to reduce overall energy consumption in developed nations, but also aim to make 100% of that energy consumption carbon-free.

> The only solution on the horizon for everyone is nuclear fission or fusion.

There is no "one solution" to climate change. It's a complex topic, which makes it difficult to discuss online. Nuclear fission is a great medium-term investment, but investments started today, won't be quick enough to halve emissions by 2030 and level off emissions by 2050. We will need to throw everything we can at the problem, including solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal.

Fusion is the closest thing we have to a "one solution to climate change", but it's too far off to have a chance of making meaningful impact before we face catastrophic damage. We should continue to invest in it, of course, but it's a huge gamble to depend solely on it.
> So, you can always override Apple's warning.

Sure, but the OP's comment is about Apple in general, not macOS. Try overriding the warning on iOS, for example.
For one, there's no country in the world where the GA scene is like it is in the US. There's airports everywhere and flying is mostly accessible. As such, like US universities attract the world's students, the US GA airports attract a _ton_ of foreign pilot students.

That's just one angle. Another angle: the US is a lame duck in term of mass transit infrastructure like trains. So development and advancements in those fields occurs elsewhere, like in Europe and Asia. But in the case of aviation infrastructure, US is miles ahead. And as a result, a lot more aerospace stuff happens in the US than anywhere else. It's not as directly useful to the general public as inter-city trains, but it does have a lot of positive side effects for the economy and industries.

Perhaps one day, flying will simplify and become commonplace for the average person, like cars that were, as an industry, born in the US. And then on that day, it'll seem pretty smart to have nurtured general aviation and allowed aerospace to germinate.

GA looks like a rich people's hobby, and it sort of is. But it's not "10M$ in the bank" rich. The middle (as a treat) and upper class can afford to fly GA. In most other countries, that's just too out of reach for most people, it's not realistically in the cards unless you want to have a career in that field.

If you're really trying to innovate on confusing people, I would suggest some things to deliberately make it harder for people.

To take just a first pass over your suggestions - creative use of case, and letters/numbers that could easily be confused.

USB 4.01 (USB 1.0 speeds)
USB 4.0L (USB 1.0 speeds again)
USB 4.0i (40 Gbps)
USB 4.0l (80 Gbps)
USB 4.0f (charging only)

Can you imagine asking the Office manager to buy some USB 4.0l cables for your high-speed 80Gbit devices -- but what turns up is a USB 1.0 cable.

> CPUs just got fast enough that all of that, including 3d calcs, could be done better on common CPU by the mid-2000s. Do it on a sound card, you have to buy a new sound card to get improvements. Do it directly in the OS or in-game, and you can benefit from improvements from the OS or library or game devs immediately.

A dedicated chip is often better than a general purpose CPU (hello GPUs?). Game audio made a huge step back with Vista and beyond. Since audio cards could no longer do what they used to because of the limited driver model and developers/studios were more focused on graphical fidelity and physics calculations, nobody was going to waste precious CPU cycles on audio, at least not any more than the bare minimum.
I really appreciate the transparency from them. They even lost out which models of RAM they have tested for compatibility so you can buy on your own. I just ordered a computer from them and I sourced those parts separately for something like $70 savings but I’m actually having second thoughts because

1) if I source from them I’m more positive that they’d be able to help me if I have problems within the warranty period, so maybe saving $70 on a $1600 purchase isn’t worthwhile

2) peace of mind vs the mess of counterfeits from Amazon third party sellers

3) they are a small company and I want them and help them to succeed because I love what they are trying to do (but also, selfishly, I need them to stick around if I want to order parts in the future)

Both of those are terrible choices. Almost all human rights have some edge case were lack of discoverability prevents enforcement of the laws and prosecution of severe violations. Even murder cases go cold. Does not mean it should be legal.

Statistical Significance Does Not Equal Validity, or Why You Get Imaginary Lifts
Why is that? It is very unlikely to answer more random requests with more nodes. You have to pay for the communication that is required in the cluster to locate the data. It will only be faster if you have some special knowledge and are able to partition the data in a smart way. Which will allow shortcuts when storing or receiving data.
Every time I hang out in Georgetown and a plane flies overhead I have this same thought.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusades

> The first Crusaders had a variety of motivations, including religious salvation, satisfying feudal obligations, opportunities for renown, and economic or political advantage.

"prestige" could be close to "renown", but it comes from a different place (renown brings direct advantages, including nobility attribution for instance), and you'll note economic and political advantage are set as anchors of this list.

The reality of it is about conquering territory under a pretense that won't raise hostility among your neighbors (who can even participate in the expeditions under the same religious flag)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_War

When QEMU saves a snapshot, it tries to be "smart" about memory, only saving the memory in use[1]. This trades off CPU at snapshot time for I/O at transfer time. How compatible is Firecracker's virtual memory subsystem with doing something like that?

Not all assets are equal. Shelter is a basic human need. Creating an environment that allows speculation in this asset is bad.

Progressively tax the shit out of each subsequent property owned. Prevent foreign/corporate ownership of property outside of short stay, hotel/motel type accommodation.

Make shelter an extremely unattractive asset to own.

Anti-scraping technology is absolutely ridiculous. Modern example: TikTok. Have you seen webmsssdk.js?

What a shame for the web.
That's where the DIY aspect makes it more interesting: you're putting it together anyway, so the labour aspect is removed and it's pure markup.

I spoke with a coordinator at Kenmore Air about a private charter a few months back. Over 90% of their flights are on their higher capacity DHC-3 de Havilland Otters so that they can fill seats more efficiently. The Beaver runs on leaded gas, but the Otters do not.

In addition to air ambulance/medevac, aerial firefighting, overnight package intake and delivery, and medical lab test samples are all things that I think have fairly broad benefit if not widespread support and rely heavily on airports other than the 100 largest in the US.

In times of natural disaster, GA airplanes are often delivering support and supplies using these non-primary airports. This often happens before the larger agencies can spin up and post-hurricane can often reach areas before the roads are fully open.

In rural areas, like Alaska, they’re even more utilitarian.

Most of the commercial pilots now got a lot of their 1500 required hours in some of the activities around these small airfields.

And of course, there’s all the use of private aviation in support of businesses (logistics to prevent line shutdowns or move urgently needed repair crews to a factory).

It’s not just rich folks buzzing around to kill time or flying around in their private jets. (Neither is that zero of it.)
Every single airline pilot has had to train in a small piston aircraft that runs on leaded fuel. There simply has been no alternative if we want to have a supply of trained pilots.

Not to mention medivac flights, overnight delivery of many laboratory medical specimens from doctors' offices, law enforcement, high-quality aerial imagery in maps apps, farming, access to rural communities in areas like Alaska...

That’s quite a bit of a slippery slope you’ve got there. Intent matters a ton in law. It’s the difference between man-slaughter and murder. It’s the difference between negligence and property damage. Why can’t it also be the difference between recording memories and publishing without consent?

You don't know what kind of tools they've developed internally and Ada/Spark is far from the end-all be-all of high assurance programming.

High assurance comes from the overall systems design and testing, not the software itself. Afterall, radiation can cause any piece of software, including those written in Ada, to completely skip instructions.
> As a parent now, I reflect back on those days and think about the times I came really close getting badly hurt or doing something completely stupid.

I am in the same situation, but I would not come to same conclusion. Although we were in very dangerous situations as kids, surprisingly little happened. None of my friends have died or been badly injured. I think you have to look at the risks and make a realistic assessment. I am horrified to imagine my own daughter in some of the situations I was facing, but still I do not want to supervise her all the time when she gets older.

Actually, I have a slightly different problem: I grew up in a very small village on the country side in Austria, but now I am living in a big city (Vienna). The country side comes with its own kind of risks (free-running dogs, dangerous country roads, forests, mountains, lakes), but they are completely different than the ones you would face in a city. Since I have no experience what it's like to grow up in a city, I'm not sure how I should raise my daughter. I guess I just have to look at what my friends are doing with their kids :-)

Actually, just an analog mic preamp (and for the SM7B or other very low output mics: one with super low noise or a cloudlifter in between) or compact mixer will get you up to line level, and then you're good to go with a motherboard sound interface if it has a line input jack.

A better ADC (like in virtually any outboard audio interface) certainly doesn't hurt and would definitely be advisable for musicians, but it's far from necessary for a youtuber / home office use case.

Maybe not in US. In AU, for example, they do. Also I'm surprised to hear that. I would have expected them to be universal and work anywhere between 110 and 240V.
also interested in the upper limit of a micro vm, like how big can it get? 64gb memory? not really micro any more and maybe a traditional VM would be a better fit.
An ultra-libertarian rant. Let's let the rich and powerful do whatever the fuck they want and to hell with any direct or indirect damage to ordinary people. Not what we need.
Indeed, sensing the moisture in the load is literally a decades-old feature; look at the dates of these patents, for example:

https://patents.google.com/patent/US3402478A/en

https://patents.google.com/patent/US3758959A/en
That just feels like such a pessimistic forecast to me. Of course, the current trajectory of improvements in model efficiency and better commercial GPUs / ML-accelerators may hit a wall.

But I would not be surprised if this was trainable on a commercial GPU at home within that time. But I think another important trend that we are seeing is that you don't need to train these models from scratch.

Open-source "foundation models" means that you can usually get away with the much easier task of fine-tuning, as to not throw away / re-learn everything that these large models have already fit.

Edit: I initially said 2-5 years, but on more reflection this does seem optimistic (for training from scratch).
