Contrary to the other replies, I know of nobody who ran NT on the PowerStacks. You needed to install a special little endian firmware (ARC) to boot NT, which involved exchanging two PLCC EPROMs, typically by a Motorola FSE. Tried it on my Atlas board (same hardware in an AT form factor board) just for giggles… it ran even worse than NT on my Multia Alpha back then :).

The most common OS for all PowerStacks I have seen (quite a few) was a Motorola-specific version of AIX 4.1.3/4.

Of course, there was also a Linux port, but the machines were too expensive (compared to a regularPC) for a typical Linux use case.
Circa 2000 I was fascinated with the period of history from 1968 to 1980 where it seemed that everything fell apart. The theory I had was that the business cycle is about the balance of civilization being able to solve problems vs. create problems and that a prolonged period of economic growth causes the creation of problems to accelerate. I called it "the Syndrome".

The 1970s were problematic because of the commitment to Keynesianism and the desire to keep the economy growing at a high rate to ameliorate social problems. The consequence was problems running out of control and efforts to solve those problems only causing problems more rapidly.

I was expecting a "syndrome" in the early 00's but it didn't really happen.

This is an 8% average (nominal) growth rate, and only about 5% over inflation.

In the long run this isn't sustainable -- in the medium term we expect any exponential growth to plateau at a cubic, and in the long term quadratic, growth rate -- but while we're in what sure appears to be an exponential growth stage, that 8% number doesn't seem inherently unreasonable.

So did Solaris! ... For some bizarre reason. I would love to hear an explanation for that, given SPARC is big endian only. I guess it was based on the x86 port?

My fun fact is all PowerPC processors except the 970 "G5" CPU can do little endian! And the Linux kernel is actually capable of running LE processes on a BE kernel [1]. There was a bug for a long time in Linux where the kernel signal handler assumed all 32 bit processes are BE, but after patching that, 32 bit "ppcle" executables work.

[1] Well, you can load mismatched endian processes, but syscalls and ioctls need data in the kernel endianness, so you would need a very weird libc and userland to actually use this

> properly functioning courts will struggle to meet the burden of proof to convict this kind of bribery

I think this frames the issue in entirely the wrong way. My claim is that you can't safely offer bribes to a randomly selected citizen legislature.

Suppose the legislature has 1000 members, and they serve 1 year terms, maximum 1 term per lifetime. So as a wealthy interest attempting to trade jobs for political favors, you start out with 1000 complete strangers. They're unknown to you, and you're unknown to them. Moreover, they don't need to take meetings or phone calls with you, because you didn't vote for them (nobody did), you didn't finance their campaigns, they don't represent you, and they're not running for reelection, because they aren't elected, and they can't serve another term. Indeed, these legislators are likely to be suspicious of unsolicited inquiries, and rightly so. They probably don't even have time for your crap. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to somehow meet them, gain their trust, and offer them a bribe in less than 1 year, all while avoiding the honest citizen who responds to your offer by calling the cops. The burden of proof is pretty easy when the person bribed testifies against the briber.

Solaris could not run on RS/6000 as it had a completely different internal architecture, starting from the POWER (not PowerPC) CPU's, a proprietary IBM system bus and other proprietary, IBM made peripherals.

Solaris was ported to the PowerPC architecture (PPC 601 only, I think) and required a PCI bus to run on, but it was a one-off act and more of a mere curiosity rather than a serious investment, and the Solaris PowerPC port was quickly abandonded. Solaris could run on a Motorola PowerStack though as the PowerStack was essentially a PC with a PPC 601/603 CPU and with standard PC components (e.g. you could install a USB PCI card and attach a USB keyboard/mouse but I do not think AIX 4 had readily available PCI USB drivers, not initially anyway).

I’d say from the discussions I’ve had with people who owned PowerStacks when they were initially being sold, 90% or so ran Motorola’s AIX when initially bought (as would be expected).

The interest in NT/Solaris/etc on these machines as an install option is a more contemporary phenomenon, I think, and comes from these PowerPC ports not really getting traction and therefore being an extremely rare OS on an already rare hardware platform.

I've noticed more and more devices specifying specific batteries -- e.g. my Spot tracker specifies Energizer L92s -- and it just makes sense that with these AA and AAA primary lithiums out there devices are taking advantage of them. Their open-circuit and under-load voltage is noticeably higher than an alkaline battery -- which is a nice efficiency improvement if you're boosting from one or two cells up to 5V -- and their leakage characteristics are in a different class.
All except the stimulus (line 2). At least the to the general public kind; very agree with the (line 3) interest rate BS since 2008 that another comment mentioned.

About the stimulus to the public; the policy should have been more nuanced and less about propping up failures. It should have been more solidly focused on humanitarian relief and incentivization of services that would be necessary during the pandemic (such as funding premiums, space, and PPE for critical jobs). The funded tests were a good step, but even better would have been blanket sending out a first test kit (of some size) free to every address registered to vote along with a letter that detailed the program and how to order more.

The PPP program (relief for businesses, not directly workers), as an example, should have been in conjunction with already existing banks and credit unions (who already have due diligence systems) and about vastly reducing the interest and underwriting a small percentage of the overall firm's total loaned out value to some degree.

Worker support should have been two prong, in the form of extended unemployment benefits during the pandemic and also the creation of new jobs fulfilling civic needs during the pandemic.

Yeah; the two sectors to take the blunt of the damage to this point is Tech and Crypto, which were among the two most inflated asset classes. That's a pretty good place to start removing excess money from the system.

Tech: QQQ is a pretty good index of tech stocks, which has dropped about 30% since 2022's high. Draw-downs from their 2022 peaks: AAPL: $513B. MSFT: $653B. AMZN: $711B. TSLA: $639B. GOOG: $663B. META: $598B. NVDA: $306B. The list goes on, and that doesn't even include the far higher investments lost in derivatives and indexes.

Crypto: since the peak this year, we've seen a total draw-down of around $1.24T USD.

For comparison: throughout 2020-2022, the M2 supply increased by around $6.3T. This peaked around Feb 2022.

> Once we know we have this struct, are there any remaining barriers to the cast and -1 access?

I think the only problem is that malloc() wouldn't know the type of the non-size_t field, so it couldn't construct such a struct to do a conforming allocation which would allow calloc() to do those operations. But if the compiler doesn't have access to the malloc() implementation (assuming it doesn't know that malloc() is a special function), then maybe that doesn't invoke undefined behavior? I'm not sure, actually!

But I think that this whole saga is actually a consequence of the standard being flawed, in that I think it's not possible to create an implementation of malloc() using strict standard C (but I could be wrong, I'm not exactly an expert on the C standard).

> How does that logic work with malloc, which unlike calloc takes no item size and simply gives you a specific number of bytes?

The return value of malloc() is treated specially by the standard, I believe. Which is why musl has to use the `-ffreestanding` and `-fno-builtin` flags, I think (to avoid optimizations by the compiler due to special knowledge of standard functions), which are non-standard.

Well, musl also uses '-fno-strict-aliasing' (also a non-standard flag) which probably is what actually allows it to implement malloc() without invoking undefined behavior.

I think this is also why GCC provides a "malloc" attribute which you can use in your own functions, so that they are treated specially (like malloc()), but I believe that this is also non-standard.
