LANL has had three criticality accidents in 80 years, which have killed three people, two of them during WWII (after which things presumably improved) and the third in 01958. That's out of what is now 12000 people, which would lead you to expect about 40 deaths over that period of time, though presumably the workforce size has fluctuated over the years (but it was about 10000 by the end of 01946). I think that by any standard that's a reasonable level of risk.

I don't hold with any of this "codified right" nonsense. What's right and wrong determines what the laws should be; the laws can't determine what's right and what's wrong. We have to determine what's right and what's wrong independently of the laws in order to figure out how they should be changed. Factories poisoning people was wrong before the EPA existed, is still wrong where the EPA doesn't have jurisdiction, and would still be wrong if the EPA allowed it.

If you fire it backwards, when it first launches it will be traveling backwards relative to the airflow. So you would have to make a missile that can fly forwards or backwards. Probably not impossible but it must add some difficulty.

You keep condescendingly demanding to engage with your argument, but you haven't made one yet. "Raising the cost of victory" is extremely vague and ambiguous.

Since you're being vague and condescending at the same time, I suspect you're not arguing in good faith.

If you truly want people to engage with your argument, be specific.

I was working on an embedded system long after that transition happened. The BSP we got from the chip vendor was still targeting 2.4. We had to port all the drivers over ourselves. The long tail of old software in embedded world is ridiculous and painful
Is it really a good idea to automatically send resources to a client that has not explicitly requested them. It is behaviour that takes control away from the client. (Needless to say, this behaviour is open to tremendous abuse and can be wasteful.)

Auto-fetching took this to a new level. (I always disable this behaviour, either within the client or outside it.)

Going even further, HTTP/2 server push has IMO only highlighted the questionable nature of this behaviour. Its justification is "performance" but it still removes control from the client. Will push be removed from Chrome.

>Before IBM 801, there have been many simple CPUs, which, if they would be launched today, they would be called RISC CPUs, due to their simplicity.

No, I don't believe that is the case. Very early computers were simple -- but neither high performance no easy to program -- for that reason.

But by 1964, for example, there were already rather complex machines and ISAs such as the IBM 360.

Also in 1964 was Seymour Cray's CDC 6600, a complex high end machine with 10 functional units and superscalar out-of-order execution, but deliberately simple instructions that separated load/store from arithmetic. It would definitely and deservedly get the term "RISC" if introduced today.

The same goes for the Cray 1, which was also before the 801 project.

>While John Cocke has not invented the word RISC when designing IBM 801, either he or another member of his team (which worked at the project that eventually became IBM POWER) has invented the word "superscalar", a few years later, in 1987, when the design target for CPUs had moved from being able to execute one instruction in a single clock cycle, like in the early RISC CPUs, to being able to execute multiple instructions per clock cycle.

Again, the 1984 CDC 6600 was superscalar. As indeed were high end IBM 360s.

The term didn't exist then, but the techniques (scoreboard on CDC, Tomasulo's algorithm on IBM 360/91) did.

JWTs are great for fast, efficient, distributed authentication. You shouldn't store too much stuff in the JWT, just the username and access level is generally enough. The trick is to set it to have a short expiry and keep renewing while the user is online/active.

> Just as´ examples of desirable properties are Unanimity, Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives.

I'm aware of many desirable properties, such as the ones listed here[0], but "Unanimity" is not mentioned on that page. I struggle to even imagine what such a criterion would be. "If every voter votes for a given candidate, then that candidate should win"? That sounds like an obviously desirable property, but of course Asset Voting has that property, so I'm still not sure what the objection is.

The other property you mention (IIA) is one I'm not actually convinced is desirable. It makes the analysis of voting systems easier if you can assume it as an axiom, but I think it only applies to spherical voters in a vacuum. People change their preferences due to minor "unrelated" pieces of information all the time, so it doesn't seem odd to me that a voter might see party C on a list and update their view of the world, such that they decide they were wrong to support party A over party B, for example.

Anyway, you said "Asset voting gives no guarantees whatsoever", which I guess must be hyperbole, because Asset Voting is guaranteed to provide the desirable property of the Majority Criterion (MC), since a candidate with a majority of the (first round) vote cannot be beaten no matter the distribution of votes for other candidates.

The best I can do at steelmanning your complaint is that some of these desirable properties are difficult to reason about in relation to Asset Voting, because its result-generating process takes as part of its input the decisions made by the candidates themselves, which these formalized properties don't consider. However, that seems like a failure of the properties themselves rather than the voting method, unless you can think of a way that Asset Voting fails in practice due to their inapplicability.

No I don’t because I inspect and research the cars I buy to avoid dumpster fires. After 20 years of car ownership I’ve never once had a breakdown or an expensive repair. Furthermore I haven’t had any issue that a $150 toolset, a jack, and a youtube video couldn’t fix in an afternoon.
> Yeah, why would Toyota want to go all in on EV and lose the ICU/Hybrid market

The same reason Apple went all in on the iPhone and dropped their lucrative iPod business. You drive your car on the road that takes you to the next level, not the familiar one that's heading off a cliff.
You need to browse more "interesting" sites. It will spice up your ads.
Enjoying this, thanks for the suggestion. I like the quick and to the point posts on relevant topics.
There’s a reason why many countries are transitioning to EVs, and it’s not mainly for the environment. With the end of cheap oil and the rise of economical EVs from companies like Tara, I feel that you’re wrong on this one.

Toyota is living in the past, and resting on their laurels just like GM did decades past. I used to be a Toyota loyalist. Not anymore when it’s clear where the future lies
Wow, that’s crazy. I knew your system had some issues, but I didn’t know it was this bad.

Just for comparison, in Germany, bank transfers are free and take 1-2 days, for a fee or free (depending on the bank) you can do instant transfers taking seconds.
Given the release cadence of Linux, I'll predict 6.6.6 to come out in August 2023.
Dumb comment. Obesity is driven mainly by diet. No amount of walking will make you less fat.
It's inspirational, to say the least. Linux is a testament that a truly distributed team can not only work efficiently, but deliver a successful product.

I'm inclined to think that it's partly because they're not chasing growth metrics, have to report to stakeholders, etc. Most companies drown in the overhead related to such processes.
You could say the same about cash. The acceptable amount of crime in a healthy society is more than zero.
I think you might be right about the policies as written, but one can make a reasonable argument that behaviour in practice is relevant, and that one might generally like to promote diversity in the market place instead of one powerful incumbent.

So if Transferwise and PayPal are equally bad, you might still want to give your business to the smaller company?
It took a moment to realise it but given the scanning nature of the microscope this was actually done like a stop motion animation…

That or scanning electron microscopes have gotten a way faster “shutter speed” since I last looked at them.
I've read a ton about razors in the past decade or so, and wish more of what has been reported was covered here. This just reports that hairs microchip blades. To what extent does it matter, for example?

Firstly, I'd read that DE blades actually get sharper after the first shave, due to coating wearing off, then quickly dull after the third or fourth shave. Personally, I'm unsure of this finding, as I always find new blades the best cutting and in fact change my blade every other shave.

Secondly, it's commonplace to the point of common knowledge or folk lore that it is rusting that ruins blades, hence you should soak them in alcohol, or dry them vigorously after each shave. Is this even true?
Just charge more for the longer-lasting blades. Don't forget to make them incompatible with every other product on the market except your own proprietary, overpriced handle.
> But even if you limit yourself to cars, a friend just bought a Volvo S90 Recharge electric car to drive in Ho Chi Minh City.

The heck does this mean? Suddenly, vietnam is going to follow the trend and buy electric cars? This car costs something like $60k in Vietnam. The country gdp per capita is $2700. Most people who can buy cars will probably buy an old gas car.
This is ignorant of the facts. China has many very cheap EVs for from scooters to bikes to trikes to small carts to small cars all the way to buses, and they are used across the entire economic spectrum.
I always assumed razor blades were designed to last as short as possible a time that people would tolerate so as to maximize recurring revenue.
Isn't that a pretty common use of that word?
I have this rant about people creating problems for themselves.

A perfect example is when SPA's were created, but it broke browser history. So we get a new standard with the ability to edit browser history.

I feel like refresh/access tokens fall into the same vein. If you need that don't use JWT's. The choice of JWT is the problem here, refresh/access tokens are a workaround.
The criminal laughed when I said the same thing to him. His response was "You're just an analyst behind a computer, I moved weight. Paypal was a godsend. Cash was painful."

Go hit the street, talk to ex-cons and white collar criminals, your view is simplistic and lacks depth of on the ground reality.
I think you're greatly underestimating momentum for the change. China and India are first hand feeling the effects of climate change, global warming, cyclical warming or what ever we want to call it. They may not be able to switch off of fossil fuels immediately, but their politicians and bureaucrats aren't walking around blindfolded either. Meanwhile russias barbaric war in Ukraine and energy (and food) blackmail has put Europe (and really rest of the world) on notice about relying on fossil fuels. Europe will never go back to fossil fuels at least in pre Feb 20200 capacity, and is on overdrive to move to non-fossil fuels. Fossils are out, electricity is in. And so will be EVs.

Hello, I'm the "father" of Capsule.
It's a Golang app, and I use the Wazero project as the wasm runtime (https://wazero.io/).
Capsule loads and executes the WASM modules like a CLI or serves the module through an HTTP server or as a NATS or MQTT subscriber.
Right now, you can only build the WASM modules with TinyGo, but my next plan is to make my code more agnostic.

I started this project this summer to improve my GoLang knowledge and test some ideas on WASM and WASI.

> I think the better response here is, demand that the institutions in your free society operate based on the principles of freedom and free expression.

What PayPal is doing is entirely consistent with that. In a free society, suppliers are free to decide whether they want to do business with you, and under what conditions. And you are free to make the same choice.

(Of course, we'd hope that in a free society competition would take care of providing suppliers that offer conditions that customers can agree with. But there's no guarantee of that.)
Did you do that on purpose?
I agree, they are nice results. But Joseph Beuys is better known for performance art. In his most famous piece, he covered himself in gold foil, and explained art to a dead hare (below). To my mind, it makes little sense to apply this method to his art.

The Audrey Beardly results are a bit better, but if I wanted Beardly-ish drawings I would likely be disappointed. Beardly's lines were very fine... 'filigree', like a spider crawling over the paper, and he almost never made art in colour. Also, a lot of his work was as sexy as hell. NSFW last link (bottom of page) for relatively mild examples.

Handwritten Blog with Links in SVG – Demo
I love thinking with a pencil/pen compared to a keyboard since there seem to be so many more expressive possibilities: Size, Position, Drawings, Arrows, etc. Not to mention research suggesting it's better for memory.

This is a demo of making a handwritten blog but using SVG rather than images. There are advantages of this including but not limited to reducing bandwidth. This blog was made on a tablet, images of the handwriting exported to Inkscape, and SVG placed into a html wrapper. I really wish the workflow from pen, pencil, and paper to blog post was smoother.
God, nukes and everything about them is terrifying. I'm sure people working at plants that make conventional explosives aren't exposed to such risks, not even close. I think that we lack the technology to make such things safely. It's unfortunate that robotics is such a failed science, because no one should be handling anything remotely close to criticality with rubber gloves. It's 2022 but when it comes to our ability to protect against nuclear accidents it's still 1942.
In this specific case, I highly doubt there were any calculations involved. The fact that it seems there were many people involved in setting up this stupid photo makes me believe even less in the future of humanity. I mean, it's Homer Simpson levels of nuclear handling irresponsibility.
Thats the easiest thing they could try.

>... tested to see if they remain safe and reliable for use in the nuclear stockpile.

Note here this expression "safe and reliable", taken from the DoE's founding legislation, is officially re-interpreted to be very, very different from what a normal person would conclude.

Most particularly, "safety" doesn't mean anything about risks to the public or to people handling equipment and materials. It does not mean anything about them not exploding in their warehouse or while hanging in a bomber. It does not mean protecting against release of radioactive materials or contamination of groundwater or ecosystems.

It does not mean keeping people from stealing plutonium or whole weapons. It does not mean keeping bombs from falling out of planes at random (which has happened), or from crews setting them off accidentally or on purpose. It does not mean keeping bombers loaded with them from crashing or missiles with them on top from exploding in their silos (which have both happened).

The only responsibility "safety" places on the DoE is ensuring that, when the button is pushed, the bomb really does go boom.

"Reliability", meanwhile, means only that the boom is as big as it says in the specs.

It probably requires legislation to change these re-interpretations.

Obviously rust panic is not the same as a kernel panic. What you're taking for granted is that just because rust can catch a panic that it will. A simple overflow can cause a panic. When this happens, the panic might be caught before the kernel panics, but by then the program is probably already in an undefined state. It also might not be caught at all, and cause an actual kernel panic.
