I feel like "NOT intended" is even understating it, so I'll quote your other post:

"Code using Zcmp or Zcmt is incompatible with the RV64GC ISA assumed by current Linux etc OSes as it redefines and reuses the 16 bit opcodes for double precision floating point load and store. Full-size instructions must be used instead."

I'm amused that the instructions that get the best compression by far, multi-register push/pop, are also the instructions that are too much of a pain to bother with on large cores.

> FUSE is a better developer experience since the end user doesn't have to worry about loading the extension every time they use a SQLite driver or the sqlite3 CLI.

For the CLI that's a fair concern, but from an "I'm writing an application that links against libsqlite3 and/or includes sqlite3.c" I feel like the opposite is true: I'll have a much easier time configuring the VFS in my app than fiddling with FUSE mounts.

> LiteFS runs an HTTP API server to communicate between nodes as well and if you run multiple processes with a VFS then you have to determine which one should start up that server.

Wouldn't that be a similar problem as working out which process should be the writer? I'm admittedly not too familiar with either Litestream or LiteFS, so that might be a dumb question.
Most people wouldn't have gotten into fent if oxy was cheap/freely available. same with a big batch of heroin users.

from people I know in the recovery community, they say that getting off fent is way harder than other opiates and suboxone doesn't always work well enough, even at crazy high doses.

it's a disgusting drug.

we're seeing a similar pattern now where cartels are mixing crap like xylazine in. when the only drugs you can get on the street are literal poison, there isn't much choice but to use them.

that's why if pure injectable morphine was available, for free or close to it, I doubt new users would choose to move to fent; especially if fent wasn't easily available.

sure some people will always chose to use more destructive drugs. but we need to stop the next cycle of escalation.

and I don't think most people are advocating selling high dose opiates OTC at the corner store.

i'm personally ok with MDMA, cocaine, speed (pills not rock) being pretty accessible with some type of license limit system, and tools to avoid smurfing/create outreach for those high quantity users move into dependence.

Shot/smoked meth & opiates I think should be more controlled, but still provided for free as part of harm reduction & programs to reduce use.

They will do whatever is in the contract. Yes, they will hook up a crash cart and PXE the server (If you need that), done it hundreds of times in the old days. However in modern datacenters no one "installs OSes and configures the network". You plug it in, turn it on, everything self-provisions and starts serving traffic.
I mean, sure but if you're a corrupt criminal gang, how high does "payback for the Opium Wars" rank compared to just making money?

It's one of those "just so stories" that people love because it ties everything into a nice bow.

I'm not saying it's irrelevant, but if the Opium Wars never happened does anyone believe they wouldn't be doing the same thing anyways?

> It was the first time that Smaker realized that her film might be controversial. “She hadn’t seen the film,” Smaker recalls, “but seemed unhappy that I — as a non-Muslim — was making a film about Muslims.” After she saw it, Chehab went on to write on the TRT World website: “The only perspective needed is the Muslim one. . . . When I, a practicing Muslim woman, say that this film is problematic, my voice should be stronger than a white woman saying that it isn’t.”

I would encourage folks to resist seeing this as “white versus brown” or “Muslim versus non-Muslim.” Identity politics is not sectarian politics—groups of people with common interests aligning against other groups with different interests. It’s about using identity as currency in politics.

Note the phrasing: “the Muslim [view] … my voice.” The same people who say they don’t want white people to speak also usually don’t want other Muslims, with different viewpoints, to speak either. What she wants to do is to speak for Muslims—use them as silent weight to bolster her own point of view.
The web used to be full of applications like this. First Flash, then Java. Now we have open standards that are used so rarely that they are notable post-worthy events.

You are probably 100% correct.

However, I did work with engineers during that time who had recently traveled from Wuhan and seen family there. I also passed through both SFO and SEA airports at very busy times at the end of December/beginning of January, and had been in LA at tourist areas with tour buses full of people.

I don’t understand this argument at all. As stated previously, it’s a real time visualization, thus there is trivially no loss of fidelity in time. To claim that is like claiming that a live web cam of a city street has a loss in fidelity because it doesn’t show what the street will look like in 100 years.

Indeed. HCMC and Hanoi are huge metropolis. There is a huge migrant worker population because that's where the jobs are.

If you want an "non-touristy" experience, go to mid-sized cities like Can Tho or Ben Tre in the Mekong Delta. They have lots of tourists, but they tend to be local. Everyone else there is just living their life.

Or go to some small rural town. Not much to do, but you'll get a glimpse of how a large part of the population lives.

Don't we have a similar issue with demand for lithium for batteries and rare earths for PV panels to the issue we have for uranium/nuclear?

It is my impression both pro-renewables and pro-nuclear like to downplay the resource sourcing issues.

Seems like we’re going in circles here. Kessler syndrome is about collisions. But one can be concerned about the fullness of a medium without the risk of collisions being the primary concern. This is the case for everyday things like road traffic, restaurant lines, etc.

I'd be careful about this. I've never seen anything to suggest that we could screen every child with FMRI scans to catch blatantly obvious indicators of ADHD or use scans as a definitive test for who should get medications. I honestly wish it really worked that way because it'd end all the hand-wringing about overprescribed medications and prevent a lot of kids from struggling unnecessarily, but unless something's changed pretty recently there's no one test that can identify someone as having ADHD.

Show me the $13/MWh nuclear reactor (or even fuel for that matter).

Granted that's variable wholesale, and a full 100% renewable system costs $50-100/MWh in countries with high labour cost and without optimal climate, but this is still vastly cheaper than nuclear.
> “I promise you that no drug that you can take can make any permanent changes to edit your mind”

I don't agree. I know a couple people with mental illness that seems to be due to runaway "feedback loops". Drugs seem to reduce the "gain" on those loops and enable them to actually live life.

Besides, most research I have seen seems to indicate that the people who get appropriate amounts of both medication and therapy seem to have the best outcomes.
Yes.

For that reason, instead of picking people directly at random, pick ballots at random to fill up parliament.

In theory, you could pick random votes first, and then ask them about their choice. But there's all kinds of targeted influence possible at that stage. So let voters make their choice first, and then pick randomly.

You'd need some kind of resolution mechanism for when multiple random ballots have the same candidate on them. Eg give the guys vote in parliament a higher weight, or have people write down multiple candidates in order, or just pick another random vote etc. (Some resolution mechanisms might work better than others. I don't know.)

You can help unintentional fentanyl poisoning victims without legalizing fentanyl to the general public. I don't see how that's related to fentanyl's supply chain, the supply chain is tightly regulated but enough is already available for medical use. Treating fentanyl poisoning and rehab definitely counts as medical use.

I'd prefer general/leisure use bans on fentanyl and an extensive crackdown on illicit fentanyl distribution.

Drug crackdowns on relatively harmless drugs like marijuana are severely hampered by public opposition to it and partly racist motivations: a lot of people will either not cooperate or fight back against the immorality of discriminatorily punishing the possession of a harmless drug.

That doesn't really happen for crackdowns on less morally ambiguous crackdowns like human trafficking or meth or barbiturates. People believe they are dangerous because they are actually very dangerous and it's not difficult to understand why. It doesn't suffer from a crisis of legitimacy that is critical to government power. The wrong message to take away from the failed war on marijuana is that the government cannot enforce any significant restrictions on substances.
The weaselworded non answer to “is it safe” is obviously technically true. Even if they’ve disclosed all activity and logs and user ip addresses to law enforcement, which resulted in hundreds of people going to jail, they went to jail for what they did with this, not for “using it”…

It’s a fun curiosity. But anyone relying on it to cover up illegal activity should be very very careful. If what you’re doing can improve a cop’s chance of promotion, you should assume they’ll take advantage of that. And for “lesser crimes”, you can bet that most things you want to do from there are already on blocklists. You’ll have as much chance of getting your spam runs out of there as you do from any cheap vps or tor exit…

What's the price ratio between the first PWRs in the US and canada and the ones started in the late 80s/early 90s after the industry had maximum experience?

We'll just multiply that same ratio by the price of Vogtle and get.. what? $30k/kW?
At 60W net per m^2 US average primary energy can be served in 250m^2 per capita or less than the per capita paved car parking space.

The inkai uranium mine is one of the largest mines in the world. It spans about 760km^2 of desert. At that latitude current generation solar has about 16% capacity factor of 230W/m^2. There are much denser uranium reserves, but if land use being significantly low than solar is your overriding concern then there's only a few decades worth of reserves available for use in PWRs.

A solar project there would produce about 25GW net.

The uranium mined produces 50GW gross at typical burnup. Mining, transport, enrichment, and post burn lifecycle consume ~10-20% of this.

The exclusion zones for those reactors would be roughly another 170km^2 so the nuclear is only ~30% better.

Add wind turbines at 10W/m^2 and do it not in the arctic and the renewables win handily by net output. You can also use all of that land for other things as well without getting radon poisoning or being shot by armed guards. Modern multi megawatt wind turbines don't meaningfully use land as being able to see two or three turbines off in the distance doesn't really prevent you from doing most things.

As to variability, the people of france would like a word. Less facetiously you should consider cost to meet a minimum power target. With the $23k per kw of Vogtle, hitting higher reliability than any nuclear reactor is trivial -- you also get 10 or so kW of variable power.

I'm all in favour of sortition, but I don't think it's a good idea to force people to serve.

Just pick randomly from all willing candidates to fill up parliament. Or even better: still have elections were people can vote for willing candidates, but instead of picking the winner by some kind of majority or proportionality scheme, you pick n ballots at random to fill up the n seats in parliament.

(You can come up with your favourite scheme to handle the case when a single candidate gets multiple votes for her selected. Eg give her extra weight in decisions?)

I would suggest using sortition only for instances where the law of large numbers helps you. Eg for filling up a parliament with a few hundred representatives, but not for picking a single president.

> The overhead of context switching is a thing.

Yes, and that happens regardless. I can turn off notifications and choose when to look at email or Slack or whatever. I can have those apps on my iPad screen and ignore it or put it in focus mode. If you're talking about switching applications that's just a keystroke whether I'm in screen/tmux or in MacOS.

> Running a bunch of Electron apps to handle basic things slows you down and takes an unnecessary amount of system resources.

All of the native apps I use work faster than I do, I don't think they slow me down. System resources have come a long way since the early days of Unix you refer to. None of my devices struggle with low resources. I mainly work on remote servers so that's where I compile and test code and so on, and those machines don't have GUIs or apps hogging up resources.

>Most users can’t automate GUIs to create workflows, assuming the apps and the platform being used even support that.

Sure, and even fewer users can do anything at the command line.

> Scripting CLI tools has existed since the dawn of Unix.

I remember. That happened about four years into my career as a programmer. I didn't start to see Unix in the wild for a few more years. Scripting CLI tools pre-date Unix but they sure got nicer when Unix took over.

I'm happy to use the command line for almost everything I do in terms of programming. But some of what I do to keep my customers happy involves communicating with them, reading stuff they send, etc. I can't force my customers to stop sending PDFs or HTML emails or links to Zoom calls, nor would I want to. And I'm not going to live with 1970s technology in imitation of Richard Stallman, because however great the terminal and Unix CLI can work for so many things, they aren't the best tool for everything.
I've never encountered a situation where people need an excuse beyond "make a shit ton of money" to sell drugs.
