Power? How about LEON And other rad-hard Sparc processors from Microchip (formerly Atmel)?

Looking at the problem long term RISC-V makes more sense. RV has a lot of steam building behind it and we have really neat things like the Polarfire SoC and many more in the works. New tools, compilers and software support are being added every day (hell, there is a plan 9 Risc-v compiler already...) RV is the future from the look of things.

Power has an EoL set of chips from NXP which were former Freescale/Motorola designs and costly server chips from IBM. Arm ate their lunch in the embedded sector and Intel in the desktop/server sector. No one is looking to build new Power chips. No one is porting to Power unless its a Raptor Computing Talos workstation or IBM box, essentially an expensive toy or big iron, niche stuff.
In a few months, the headline will be:

I don't know! That looks very unlispy. So much new syntax and inconsistent with the otherwise very uniform Lisp syntax.

The Racket alternative

> (define my-hash (make-hash))
> (hash-set! my-hash 'a 1)
> (hash-set! my-hash 'b 2)

looks much much better to me!

> In 1962, Warren Buffett began buying stock in Berkshire Hathaway after noticing a pattern in the price direction of its stock whenever the company closed a mill. Eventually, Buffett acknowledged that the textile business was waning and the company's financial situation was not going to improve. In 1964, Stanton made an oral tender offer to buy back Buffett's stake in the company for $11 1⁄2 per share. Buffett agreed to the deal. A few weeks later, Warren Buffett received the tender offer in writing, but the tender offer was for only $11 3⁄8. Buffett later admitted that this lower, undercutting offer made him angry. Instead of selling at the slightly lower price, Buffett decided to buy more of the stock to take control of the company and fire Stanton (which he did).

The Oracle of Omaha's first big move was driven, in part, by his desire to settle a grudge!
Stick based construction is already incredibly time, resource, and labor efficient.

SIPs are neat (https://www.sips.org/what-are-sips), but even they are an added cost.

Dirt-based construction is an intriguing idea, but generally you are trading materials cost (which is already relatively low) for quite a bit of labor cost.

A system that cheaply allows for enduring dirt-based construction would be an interesting advancement, but I'm not sure how universal that system would be.

That was unequivocally not a publicly known reason. There were thousands upon thousands of “lolcows” documented in kiwifarms and the sites culture strongly emphasized not “disturbing the grazing lolcows” or “taking things IRL.” That much was obvious for me as somebody who only visited the site a few times a year out of curiosity.
If it really is 30W more efficient under load, that sounds like it must be a die shrink? TSMC 6nm is the shrink path from the 7nm the PS5 originally shipped with, has anything else used 6nm that's already out in the market?

I am also deeply skeptical of the net-negative claim, mostly because of the outsized role plywood appears to play in the building productions demonstrated. There are several energy-intensive steps required to manufacture plywood that are not present with standard lumber production. Additionally, transport overhead is higher due to the comparative rarity of the specialized mills used to create plywood. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any kind of real numbers comparing the carbon footprint of lumber vs plywood to demonstrate exactly how much more carbon it takes to manufacture plywood vs lumber.
"operational" comes with strings attached. We don't know what internal SLAs specify but most likely the service is meeting those agreements.

I'm the CEO and cofounder of a health insurer that published its pricing data. See it on GitHub at https://github.com/evryhealth/price-transparency To add some fuel to this discussion, US healthcare has grown 3x as a percentage of GDP in 60 years from approx. 5% to more than 15% [1]. It has done so at the expense of the rest of the economy and communities.

Pricing transparency is only one piece of the puzzle. It is a tremendously antiquated industry. Fax is still state of the art -- welcome to the 1980s!

ZFS backup is the attractive part of this service. But that’s $60/month for 5TB. It’s quite expensive, even accounting for a $5/month full time VPS (enough RAM and CPU for ZFS receive). The ZFS offering was better until recently where the minimum storage was substantially increased.

On the other hand, for non-ZFS backups, there is Backblaze and other cheap storage.

But the site is going anywhere; it's going lots of places, in fact. They can't find a host that will both accept them and can handle the DDoS, so they've been bouncing around between domains and hosts. This is the kind of instability that destroys online communities, which in this case is good.

This “Smart Window Fan” is a window-mounted economizer. If it’s cooler and dryer outside, like at night, it opens its louvers and pulls in cool air and exhausts warm air. It also has a HEPA filter. I assume it has humidity sensors too to avoid running when it’s humid outside.

I am wary of a product sold by only one vendor. Economizers tend to be added to large central ducted commercial HVAC systems and this is the only window unit I’m aware of.

Yeah, thought the same. The AML team on a bank cannot disclose that the account is being investigated by the regulator, nor give any information to the client about it.

Of course, if the bank wished to do so, they could give information or unblock the funds. But the fines that the regulator can impose to the bank are disproportionate (hundreds of thousands, per individual case) to "convince" the bank to comply.

Thus, is not "the bank" who is doing that to you, it's the regulator, and the agreement between the bank and them. And this "agreement" is a requirement in order for the regulator to give a banking license, so...

Let's be clear, the bank is not gaining anything out of this, quite the opposite: they are at risk of bad reputation, having an angry customer at their offices or calling daily, etc...

It's a very frustrating situation, tho. I do understand that.

"However, by in large, it's calories in vs calories out."

That's the problem though. Legal gears move slowly, and you know that Kiwifarms would've kept destroying people's lives and driving people to suicide until they got shut down. I would've preferred actual legal action rather than companies dropping KF because they're bad for business, but the end goal of getting them shut down is the same.
If we can find those who do not operate under calories in vs calories out we should either arrest them for breaking the laws of thermodynamics or enlist them as a power source somehow.

How does that even work? Even with full precompilation, the LLVM time should still be there, no? In my usual Julia workloads, LLVM time is a significant fraction of compile time, so full precompilation only takes 30-50% off latency.

Anti-consumerist minimalism isn’t everyone’s preference.

I have many hobbies. I derive nearly 100% of my enjoyment and satisfaction in life from my hobbies. My hobbies take up a lot of space and require “stuff”.

Some people really enjoy collecting things. What’s wrong with that? Personally, I really like when someone gets excited and shows of their collection and all the knowledge they’ve accumulated about it. Their joy is infectious.

There are many valid ways to live. Some of them happen to involve buying things. For me, buying and owning things has substantially enriched my life.

Edit: this extension is pretty rad, though.
Alas, I have reached exactly the same conclusion over the years.

You need to strike the right balance between not obfuscating too much such that the reader ragequits in frustration, versus obfuscating things just enough so that the reader has to put a bit of "work" before the insight hits home, lest they fail to appreciate how much effort getting to that insight took in the first place, and dismiss it for a trivial one.
I think there is a balance to be struck and certainly don't want to say oh well there should be another journal for that.

An open ISA is a good start. It means short of any closed-source extensions the code can move to another chip vendor. With smart modularization of the code, even parts using closed-source extensions could be potentially retargeted faster than moving to a whole new ISA. Finding a radiation hardened complete solution that's totally open source could be a tough request to fill.
> So was the decision to fight an economic war against Europe's major energy supplier

No, that was Russia's choice. They chose to invade Ukraine with the full and inexcusable intent of occupying territory. Opposing this is not that different from opposing the occupation of Poland nearly a century ago, and boohooing about how it hurts the economy is just so transparently self-serving at the expense of the Ukrainian people and everyone else in former Soviet bloc countries, it makes my teeth hurt.

What was the UK government's choice was being party to the entrenchment of Russia as Europe's major energy supplier over the course of the past decade or so. That was a very bad idea, but unfortunately, there's not much we can do about it in the short term now.

And there is a reason why we shouldn't go off of anecdotal evidence. It's blatantly false.

Doctors’ salaries account for only about 8% of U.S. healthcare costs. A 40% cut in these salaries would reduce healthcare spending by only about 3% [1][2].

Doctor salaries are not a huge way to cut costs. If anything this would make the problem worse.

concrete puts out around 180kg per ton. a pine tree planted for harvesting lives about 20 years, will absorb 100-300kg in that lifetime, will supply more material in both weight and volume, and when processed into CLT that material will be much stronger per unit weight.

let's be generous to concrete and say we're only absorbing 100kg per 20 years, only get one ton of material, and that CLT is only twice as strong as concrete (it can be ~5x or higher in some cases). this still means one tree will have a 640kg advantage over concrete for the same output.

if we're even more generous to concrete and assume _only_ timber has wildly inefficient production and construction methods, the advantage is still in the order of hundreds of kgs.

> The carbon sequestered by the trees is now in the building materials.

If X amount of carbon was in the trees, X amount of carbon is now in the building materials (at best). There's no further removal of carbon from the atmosphere by this alone. And all of the future carbon the trees would have sequestered is now not going to be sequestered by those trees. So more likely carbon positive than negative.

> The space the trees were in will now have more trees grown in them.

That's an assumption. And even if it were true, those trees would take years to begin to sequester the same amount of carbon that the previously existing trees did. And even then, it's not obvious that those new trees would sequester more carbon than the previous trees would have had they been allowed to continue growing.

Plus if you're going to say that building with blocks is carbon negative, you're going to have to talk about how those trees get turned into blocks, and how the overall process including that, is somehow carbon negative.

There is just too much labor involved for the material savings unless you are in the third world.

Genetics is irrelevant.

The impact of genetics in mice, as shown in the article, is practically the same in humans: ±10% in all but the most extreme, rare, and irrelevant edge cases.

If you have bad genetics, eat 10% less and you won't be obese. Eat 15% less and you'll lose weight and then you can resume eating 10% less once at a healthy weight.

In a typical person's diet, eating 10% less is equivalent to not eating 51g of cheese. That is a cube of cheese approximately 2cm per side.

In the typical American's diet, not consuming the average 145 daily calories of sugar-sweetened beverages already gets you more than halfway there so all you have to do to get to 15% less is not eat the equivalent of two slices of sliced cheese. (113 calories, 145+113+113=371 = 18% of a 2000 calorie diet)

Well, yes, but... take away from this something less grim. It's something a friend who was in marketing used to say to me all of the time: "good customer service is the best marketing, and it's often very nearly free."

Chick-fil-a figured this out years ago. Their employees are required to be nice and kind, and they can get fired for having a crappy attitude. This sounds awful, Stepford-wifeish, but in reality it improves the working environment for the employees and for the customers, and it costs practically nothing. The stores aren't wildly successful simply because their (let's be honest) sorta bland chicken sandwiches are indescribably delicious. The last interaction you have with the store is a pleasant one, and that's why you're happy to go back.

(Raising Cane's does this as well, and their chicken is better.)
