I don't think the read-only OS partition or the SIP is a bad idea. The bad part is that Apple is the only one who controls it.

Not true.

Most of Apple's features are for keeping newbies and users who think they know what they're doing from shooting themselves in the foot.

Apple documents how to disable SIP [1].

> They lack a bunch of emissions control equipment like fuel injection, catalytic converters, and the like.

Yeah unfortunately the weight and size of those systems is prohibitive for most light aircraft. Plus catalytic converters and oxygen sensors for closed loop efi can’t be used with leaded fuel.

> They are 60's or maybe 80's car engines that are still made since nobody in GA wants to pay for better ones.

The Lycoming and continental engines in most of the fleet were certified in the early 50s. A few were in the early 60s. That means they were designed in the 40s and 50s!
I don't think I've ever heard the absurd levels of this blog post and I've lived in few expensive cities from italy, poland and switzerland, where it is impossible for middle class locals to live there.
Well we can only speculated, but if you really think threw it, there is no reason what so ever that fusion should be cheaper. Maybe Aneutronic fusion but we are not even close enough to that do an even estimation.

Lets go threw the major costs of a power plant.

- Building the primary plant

- Operations in form of maintenance and salary.

- Fuel cost (including transportation and so on)

Now lets start with fuel cost. If we are talking about an advanced breeder fission reactor, thorium or natural uranium is basically free. Thorium is a waste product of Rare Earth mining, we have far more then we could ever use already. This material needs to be devolved into some salt.

Fusion on the other hand will need to breed its fuel. That would basically require to mine lithium and then circulate it around an already existing fusion reactor. That possible but doesn't sound exactly cheap, it would be an incredibly complex process.

So on fuel cost, fission wins pretty clearly.

In terms of building the plant, if you look at some basic assumptions about a bill of materials, its pretty clear as well. Many advanced fission reactors are not much more then a big bucket of some sort of steel alloy (stainless steal or some sort of nickel alloy). Not more complex then many advanced materials used in airplane or rocket construction. Its more of an issue with qualification then production. Inside of that bucket you are gone have some graphite tubes or some other metal tubes. That bucket is likely filled with some molten salt, not so much different from molten toothpaste.

Now compare this to a containment facility that needs to literally contain the heat a small sun. Not only do you need a magnetic containment that consists of large of highly advanced materials but you also need a physical material that can be blasted by a small sun.

What's cheaper to build, a bucket full of hot toothpaste or a complex shaped object that contains a small sun?

In terms of operations, a modern load following breeder needs very little refueling. Depending on the exact design you might even just continuously refuel and all you would have to do is dump some additional thorium into the salt. In some designs you need a crane to shuffle around fuel tubes every so often.

Not sure how commercial operation of a fusion reactor would exactly work and how automated you could do all of that. I don't think we have enough information to really estimate that. However its hart to see how much easier it would be then a fission reactor.

So I think in all major cost aspects, fission looks better. The real advantage of fusion is 3 order of magnitude higher density. But fission fuel is essentially free and dense enough that transporting it is absolute non issue, so not sure how increase density really helps fusion.

So I'm not against fusion research, I think its great. But we need to do research, not obsess about trying to build commercial fusion power.

The principle of open contest* avoids the problem you cite. Such a problem is inherent to international competition*. The mixture of limited open competition (multiple entries per country) introduces a fault into the system, which corrupts the contest at the highest level as detailed in the article. You make it less likely the best of anywhere will win, so that the second best of somewhere can compete. If you accept the competitive principle that is inherent to the entire design, then the problem goes away.

But yeah, I know most people won't accept this. That is cool. They'll continue to enjoy the Olympics; I'll continue to ignore it.

* In principle, I think a contest that aims to be the pinnacle of a sport, as the Olympics events do generally aim (Association Football being an exception), should be an open contest. However, I'm not sure if an Olympics that was formally open would actually be treated as anything other than effectively an international contest. Still, maybe open would be better (I'd be happy to see it tried), but it is not hard to see that it might cause issues of its own.

* in international competition, it is probably not even fair to consider it a problem, as it is really just an accepted part of such systems.
does comp differ based on location, and what's the rough comp range?
If Native Americans in any significant number are receiving UBI already, then that's news to me. They're disproportionately in poverty - and thus disproportionately eligible for various strings-attached welfare programs like food stamps - and tribal members / reservation residents receive some additional pittances of federal funding as a sort of "sorry we stole your lands and attempted to genocide y'all, now shut up about it and take this spare change we're throwing at you", but that's about it. The only thing even vaguely resembling tribal UBI of which I'm aware is annuities from casinos, and last I checked those don't come anywhere close to even meeting the poverty line, let alone sufficient for anyone to live off them - i.e. they don't satisfy the "basic" in "universal basic income".

UBI is the solution, not the problem - and on the topic of Native Americans, funding it can and should start by taxing the unimproved value of the very lands we conquered from them.
I believe that there was much less violence in the past than there is now. Or at least that's the perception, hence, we want to avoid that our kids get into real trouble. Not that it wasn't the case 30 years ago, however, things have changed and I think in most places didn't change for the better. But it clearly depends on where you live.
> I saw many people defending them claiming it was for better stability, avoiding blue screens and so on.

If you never seen a system BSODing from the sound drivers - I'm glad for you. I've seen enough sound card drivers crashes to tell you what that WAS a problem. Along with network cards, video cards, TV-tuner cards and almost anything what needed a driver.

> After that, the only use of sound cards became what the drivers still allowed you to do, that was mostly play sampled audio, so sound cards became kinda pointless.

Discrete sound cards became pointless because by 2001 almost every consumer motherboard had an AC'97 compatible audio coded on board.

So if you didn't need super extra fidelity 5.1235435 sound system AND didn't want to shell out additional ~$100 (SB Live! in 1999) or $2-300 (SB Audigy 2 in various variants, 2003) - you just could use the onboard one.

> having sound cards full of synthethizers that could create new audio on the fly.

NO THANKS: https://youtu.be/3AZI07_qts8?t=9

And this is a Creative card! I had my share of good synthesized music (because computers couldn't yet do a proper digitized sounds yet), but the tech should had die and it did.
> And there's very little penalty to keeping the "global steps" inside thrust, eg if you're just doing "fill this index-array with 0..N and then sort(arr1,arr2)" that is not much slower than doing everything raw, or writing one big function that tries to do everything without intermediate computations.

At a large granularity, yes if that's what you're doing.

But if you need to exit the kernel / device-side just to push/pop from a queue or allocate data to/from a stack (prefix-sum(sizes) -> allocate the top sum-of-(sizes) space from the stack), for a SIMD-stack push/pop operation, things will be quite slow.

SIMD-stack push/pop should be done at the block level and coordinated/synchronized between other blocks by using atomics (atomic_add(stack_head) / atomic_subtract(stack_head)). Especially if you don't know how many times a particular routine will push to the top of the stack.

Note: simd-stack is safe as long as all threads are pushing together, or popping together. If you can split your algorithm into the "push-only kernel", and then the "pop-only kernel" steps, you can have a surprising level of flexibility.

-------

Anyway, using a Thrust-level prefix sum will spin up an entire grid log(n) times each time you wanted to add/remove things from that shared stack. So you're really spawning too many grids IMO.

Instead, a CUB-level block-level prefix sum will atomic_add() / push onto the stack efficiently before exiting. So you have far fewer kernel calls.
For me `--full-precision` kept erroring out, but `--precision full` worked correctly.

"Misery distributes itself throughout a system."

High rents mean that a lot of people like a place enough that they'll fight (economically) to live there. The fact that you've lived in a place since before other people might feel like that should entitle you to low rent, but it doesn't, that's not how markets set prices.

High rents are just once aspect of "unpleasantness", and people will move around till the misery is equally distributed. Economies ebb and flow and shift from place to place, so it the process never ends, but don't be fooled, there is nothing broken about systems of market real estate prices, in a sense they're the final leveling of a system, the equalizer of all other desires.

It's like currency exchange rates, whichever way they go, there's good an bad, can afford more foreign goods but nobody wants to buy your goods, or can't afford foreign goods but can sell exports. But there's nothing to "do" about exchange rates, accept them as given and plan accordingly.

Bad transportation problem in your city? Think the new public works project is going to fix it? Think again, better transportation makes for more efficient redistribution of misery.

Now, I don't mean to sound negative: the redistribution of misery is a leveling, like stock prices going up and down with every trade, there is still a buyer who wants in and a seller who wants out. The redistribution of misery always entails some people getting less miserable.

That's not how tech works. They will master and improve on 7nm, and probably future nodes. But the "reach" isn't 7nm, it's the continuous advancement. Rumors put Nvidia and AMD on 5nm, and Apple on 3nm.

As is, they've shown they can get something very close to the TSMC process working [1], partly by buying talent [2]. We'll have to see how that translates to long term improvements. But, they definitely can't rely on that strategy, long term.

The laptop chips have never had "downclocking problems" in the sense that Skylake-SP did. AFAIK they are actually some of the top performers for ps3 emulation/etc.

https://travisdowns.github.io/blog/2020/08/19/icl-avx512-fre...

Actually supposedly Skylake-X/Xeon-W had much lower AVX downclocking than Skylake-SP too... InstLat64 made a tweet at one point showing this was 10-20% for workstation vs 30-40% for server iirc. Tweet has been removed unfortunately.

Intel really throttled it down on server chips, for whatever reason. Probably didn't want datacenter chips to run the Unlimited Voltage that was necessary for full-clock dual-unit AVX-512 on 14nm.

Mass shootings aren't even 1% of the gun murders. Furthermore, they are mostly a product of our obsession with them. Mass shootings are for the most part elaborate suicides that include making the person famous. If we didn't make a big issue out of them there would be little incentive to do them.

I think domain knowledge has been under-estimated in general. Which I think applies to tools too, such as programming languages. Knowing the affordances, the options, the libraries available, etc -- matters.

Developers aren't interchangeable widgets.

Sure, a really good engineer will be able to learn a new language. I don't actually disagree that it can make sense to hire developers who aren't yet expert in the language they are using, sometimes it does.

But a really good engineer learning a brand new language to them will still take a year or two until they approach the productivity and quality of decision-making of a really good engineer who was already well-experienced with the language. Will a really good engineer learning a brand new language be more productive than an inexperienced or poor engineer who has messed with the language for a year? Sure, ok.

General programming aptitude matters a lot; but experience with the tools they will be using matters too, it isn't irrelevant.

- C#, I haven't used it in the last 2 years, but I can get up to speed with it pretty fast as I've used it in the past.

- Go - Beginner level, still trying to learn to use it to the fullest, mostly for web scraping as the speed and resource usage matters when you do 1000s of requests.

- Docker and docker compose for local development and production deployment.

- VueJs - used it to build a SPA and also as a replacement for jquery for small interactive pages, pretty comfortable with it.

- Linux - using it as my daily drive and of course on my servers, I know my way around the terminal.

Kids learn through example. The best way to teach kids not to fear the world is to not fear the world yourself.

The trouble is fear is increasing each year. We have more and more restrictions, security checks, protocols, warning signs & labels, negative news than ever.

You're going to have to take some risks and go against the status quo. You may even be wrong. but it's worth the risk to raise a capable generation.

This has pretty much already been done in Vancouver, which has layers of Foreign Buyer Taxes, Speculation Taxes, Empty Home Taxes and strict Airbnb regulation.

It absolutely did not make the problem go 'poof.'

All these things were well worth doing and helped in various ways, but it remains that the core underlying problem is that there's not enough homes for everyone and scarcity ensures high rents and high prices. The dull solution is that a hell of a lot of homes need to be built.
Not just natives. Anyone who moved here a decade back might benefit. I grew up here but it was still difficult to buy a house when young because the housing prices kept ahead of salaries. The drop in prices during the last recession is what gave me the chance.

Last year I got a very similar looking Channellock that WireCutter recommended and I've really despised a few things about it:

The bits are not retained by magnet, but by a bit-mounted sprung ball bearing. If I don't push the bit in hard enough, it'll just fall right out when I turn it over. It's like that comedy bit: "What time is it?" when someone is holding a drink in their watch hand.

This probably is what led to the #2 Phillips bit being lost the first week I had it when my kids borrowed it to unscrew something in the yard, but that first week was pretty glorious...

And the bits are surprisingly hard to find. Searches on Amazon have turned up few if any replacements, and it doesn't seem like Channellock has a replacement bit set.

Finally, the ratchet mechanism is surprisingly easy to flip while using it, so most sessions I have with it I end up having to reset the ratcheting one or more times in regular use.

Admittedly, Linus talks up how much they worked on getting it just right, but I'd be reluctant to get another driver that used the ball bearing bits. I'd go with something that has replacement bits available, or uses the same bits that my power driver uses, because I always keep bits for it around.

I hate flat screwdrivers with a passion, but that one AvE made years ago is sure a thing of beauty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shnpPFQAugU

The post I responded to was about red states being petty and stop selling food to blue states. That's like real food like produce. Not total food and beverage.

Compared to 70ish billion of produce https://theproducenews.com/headlines/produce-department-sale...

That seems significant for all good and beverage sales. Nevermind alcohol, which I'm pretty sure was included in that first 80% number. Look at a supermarket, how much of that is real food. I think my local one has 3-4 aisles of snacks and candy
