> one of the things I absolutely do expect to be possible on its surface is 3D printing an extremely clean clean-room.

My understanding is that there is lots of very fine dust near the surface of the moon. It's continually being bombarded with micrometeorites that kick up the dust.

So perhaps a moderately cleanish room.
Take 1-3 months off to decompress and focus on personal development and at the same time reach out to my network towards the end of the 1-3 month off period to inquire about new jobs. Life is short, don’t spend every minute working. A layoff is a good opportunity to hit the reset button on life assuming you have no immediate financial need to be employed as soon as you are laid off.
“How to just put pixels on the screen?” is a common enough question on r/GraphicsProgramming that I made a little gist that uses SDL

Gravity can be solved the same way as on a space station (spinning), you just don't put the floors at the same angle because you're adding the constant vector from the mass to the frame of reference vector from being in a centrifuge.

Artificial magnetic fields are easy. Sometimes we do them when we don't want them.

Carbon is 1/3rd of the atmosphere (such as it is) by mass. Conveniently in solid form near the poles during Martian winter.

I'm not sure it has nitrogen in any significant quantities, though…
THIS is really interesting. There are lots of high quality players nowadays (called Hi-res or DAP), but most of them with very custom / outdated android. Fiio has the ability to sideload android apps with M6 and M9 models, but no open app store.

Most of these high quality players work well for music, some of them can even be used as USB sound card, but none of them has a specific audio book app / handling - except of course Apple iPod.

With android 12 and a size pretty similar to old iPod classic or iPod touch, the NW-A300 Walkman device is very interesting to me. Slightly too large, but it could run Apps like substreamer (with Navidrome) and AudioBookShelf. I really hope the battery can be replaced and it is repairable without too much hazzle.

Similar high quality devices / brands - some of them > 1000$:

- Sony (NW-A55)
- Fiio (M6, M9, M11)
- Hidizs (AP80)
- Shanling (M2X, M3X)
- iBasso
- Astell & Kern
- Ruizu
- Hiby (R3)
- Lootoo
- Luxury & Precision / L&P

It is very easy to get wealthy (assuming access to western markets and not being party to systemic racism) if you are willing or able to do even one or two things better than most people.

I am working on my second “fortune.” I liked reading the article, even though it kind of hurts to look backward at myself also being too complacent. The decisions I would have had to make to have generational wealth today, a decade later, are far more reasonable than the decisions I actually made.

I went down past 0, and today (a decade later) I own a few properties and have a net worth about 5x my income. My mindset is 1000x different. I am hyper vigilant about staying hedged and frugal.

The absolute number 1 thing you need to do to get rich is save >20% of your income. Whether you make 20k/yr or 200k, if you can pay yourself approximately what you pay the government, even the simplest investment strategies are virtually guaranteed to make you fabulously wealthy by typical standards.

If you are making 20k and can’t find room in your budget to save 4k, obviously you’ve got to increase your income somehow. If you are making average or above average income and can’t save, you can decide if frugality or more income is path of least resistance to higher savings rate.

The other critical thing to getting rich, if you want to do something other than DCA into indexes over decades, is to realize that the opportunities to get way-above-market returns are far, far more numerous if you are taking $10k positions vs $100M positions.
They only dodge it to those who still loyally use Windows. Those of use who 'escaped' that hellscape are fully aware what an utter pile of bloated crap it's become. No idea why anyone tries to defend it at this point, it's a shockingly poor operating system and stands out as easily the worst product (be it software or hardware) that Microsoft currently offers.
> for example that Magic Mouse that charges on the bottom, which was a design decision to prevent people using it as a wired mouse

This is actually not an issue at all. The surface of the mouse gets really close to the surface so fitting a charge port isn’t easy.

The os tells you the battery level so I’ve never had one die in over 10 years of use (same back when I had to put in AAs). So I just plug it in at night and it’s fine by the morning.

Flipping again, I just go to the Apple Store, of which there are multiple in any major city. I was on a Surface for a while but Microsoft closing all their retail stores meant my next upgrade was to a MacBook.
> it's not ARM vs x86, it's the integration pieces. Mind boggling that nothing is being done by PC makers.

Intel spent over a decade and billions of dollars to make a mobile x86 chip that could compete with ARM on battery life and they failed. And now they're getting taken to the cleaners by an ARM chip for laptops. I don't think it's the integration that's the problem, x86 is just too inefficient relative to ARM.

When it's more efficient to emulate x86 on an ARM chip than to use a native x86 processor you have to ask some questions about the ISA and design.
I understand the whole "stuck in walled garden" part when talking about iOS. But exactly which executables have you not been able to run on OSX because Apple prevented you to do so ?
> I'm skeptical of any such top-down hierarchy surviving for generations

Have you seen [gestures broadly] the world? People are people regardless of where you put them. There's no reason to believe that Mars will magically become a political paradise, simply because it's a long distance away from here.

> Mars has the significant advantage of having a much shallower gravity well.

But vastly fewer people, vastly smaller manufacturing base, and vastly more difficult living conditions.
Our self hosted email service, https://c1.fi, works fine with "plus addressing".

In addition I recently laid out plans for "disposable aliases" with a machine generated random string as local part for users in our shared domains (like c1to.me). So one could use an alias when signing-up with a service. Once the service is not relevant - Just delete the alias. All comments and suggestions are welcome. =)
If it doesn’t play DAT and MiniDisc, is it even a real Sony?
Afaik on Mac OS Docker starts up a large Linux VM and has that run the containers, while on Linux it uses the base OS for that. x86 or arm, it's the same. That explains the extra battery usage (and RAM) on Mac OS vs Linux.

That is one way to look at it, I disagree with this however even taking at face value you need to calculate the actual cost of the externality and then recover that

here they are saying "Well we need the price set to X to be competitive" that has nothing to do with calculating the cost of the externality, which may be lower (or higher) the taxation needed to bring this product to be price comparable

For the long tail of ML uses, $Y dominates.

That's actually most of the market. AMD will do fine for 3d gaming, stable diffusion, and a few similar uses. And price/performance wins for giant data centers doing something specialized (but if NVidia is about to lose a major data center deal because $W > $X + $Y, they can just cut a deal on $W).
Jokes on Apple. They replaced mine 4 times under UK consumer law, each time needing to give me practically a whole new laptop shell.
Fair. Still miss mine. I do not miss the anxiety.
I always wondered - what rich people did before Instagram? What's the point of splurging without getting likes?
I just pay apple for insurance and they replace my battery at no additional cost. And if I ever spill water on the laptop or damage it in any other way that's my fault they replace it for a fraction of the actual cost of the thing.

> heat pumps: electrical devices

Just to be pedantic, but not exactly. The typical design in a domestic heating unit, or refrigerator is mechanical. A fluid is pumped and cyclically compressed/expanded. While electric motors are usually used, they can be driven by any source of mechanical energy; driven directly by a combustion engine is not too unusual.

There are also heat pump cycles that can be driven directly with heat. Refrigerators based on that are relatively common here in Canada in areas without reliable grid electricity. Usually a propane or natural gas flame.

Thermoelectric coolers are actual electric heat pumps; directly moving heat across a semiconductor junction. Not very efficient and quite expensive practically. They're used in those USB drink coolers and to cool down lab equipment. Finding a high-efficiency thermoelectric material that works at normal temperatures and pressures is nearly as much of a Holy Grail as finding a high temperature superconductor.

I have a 2019 MacBook Pro with an Intel processor.

I have a 2021 MacBook Pro with an Apple processor.

One is a work machine, the other is my personal machine.

Things I love about the 2021...

The keyboard is just spot on perfect. No stupid touch bar. It feels good to type on too.

It has MagSafe again.

It doesn't get hot. The Intel MBP has real heat issues. It sucks to use it on my lap, or lying down. MBPs get really hot on video calls... and I spend all my time on video calls. For comparison, I shut everything down on the two machines and video called one from the other... and the 2019 had over 3x power usage on video calls. Also it didn't heat up!

The screen is "burn a hole in your eyes at night if you forget to dim it a bit" bright. It's amazingly bright.

I thought the notch would be annoying but if anything now the entire top of the 2019 feels like a notch. Meh. I don't care about the notch, it's never gotten in the way. And if anything the consistent black space around the monitor on the 2021 makes me really noticed how the 2019 has more black space on the top than it does on the sides.

The battery can go all day. Like no joke. And what's awesome is when I travel for work I don't even bring the charge brick with me. I know it seems like a small thing, but it means I can just use a smaller "sleeve" style case and it just makes traveling a little easier. One less thing I have to lug around on a day-flight.

Things I miss about the 2019...

The case on the 2021 is just flat out ugly and hideous. It's a total square box. It's thicker, it has more "give" and doesn't feel as solid. It feels cheap and shitty and hollow and all the things Apple laptops aren't supposed to feel like. It doesn't have any of the nice graceful curves that make you say, "Man these guys... how did they do all this?!" It's just a big thick ugly box that "thuds" when you tap on it and has visible give when you grab it in certain places. I think they even changed the finish texture on the aluminum. I just hate the way the 2021 feels. It feels cheap and flimsy. I hate the design choices on the 2021 too. Feels like they went back 10 years.

From the original story, the person was barred after she purchased a ticket, travelled to New York, and entered the venue. She was with her child and a group of children from the child's school, along with their parents. She was confused, embarrassed, and humiliated for being singled out and kicked out of the venue in front of the group.

She said it wouldn't have been so bad if they had just denied her a ticket. It would have saved her all the time, expense, and embarrassment. However, that is the problem inherent in using facial recognition in this way.

Work on building your pipeline, and having customers from launch day on.
No. The fear is that Sony will do something that they think is in their own best interest, while completely ignoring the interests of their customers. It doesn't have to be a rootkit specifically, it just needs to follow their pattern of lack of interest in their own customers.
I'm understanding just fine, it's clearly our ethics that differ.
Biofuel isn't just from "waste," it's a significant percentage of our grain production. Making carbon-neutral fuels without agriculture would be a big reduction in our land usage, fertilizer runoff, and pesticide use, all of which are major environmental issues of their own.
I get why Kovid (the author of Kitty) wants to invent new protocols that improve on the existing ones (Kitty’s image protocol is quite a bit more efficient than Sixels, for example), I just don’t understand why he won’t implement both the old and the new. Supporting both Sixels and his own image protocol at the same time would be almost trivial. Of course only one keyboard protocol can be active at a time, but surely the user should be able to choose between them so that they can use software which already supports XTerm’s escape sequences.
> Is the data release transparent if it does not include the full name and social security number of each participant? Surely that information would allow additional analysis

No, that has no medical, public health or accountability benefit, and you know very well that this isn't the data the scientists are requesting be released.

> The nuisance part of the suit was in data that required painstaking redaction, without a strong argument for benefit.

The strong argument for benefit is that the public deserves to have a independent, public accounting of the processes that led to vaccine approvals. This has significant implications for how public health should be managed going forward, how government mandates surrounding vaccines should be handled, and even how public messaging affects institutional trust and vaccine adoption.

Secretive processes managed by an unaccountable elite/select group whose judgment of the data we must simply trust is not how science works, or even how government should work.

Edit: and to be clear, the documents they were forced to release to date on adverse events during the trial are already raising some eyebrows, and no doubt much more debate is to come.
I agree with everything you said and everything in the article, except for the number of people. There are 8B people now, and, if nothing changes, by 2100 there will be 16B people. But I would not be surprised if this thing with the mice getting younger is developed rapidly for people in the next 20 years or less, and 20 years after that it's a staple of comprehensive health care, and by 2100 there's instead 32B people.

My thing is, whomever wants to colonize space and Mars and distant exoplanets around other stars... let them go. Let whomever wants to go, go. Encourage them to go. The rest of us can clean up the Earth and work to create a future society that doesn't use 175% of the available resources every damn year, work to find a balance that preserves diversity and honest to goodness Nature, stop expanding development and deforestation, finds some equitable solution to birth control, prevent stupid people from constantly breeding, support and encourage LGBQ and celibate priests, solve crime, and stop polluting the air, water, land and the food everything eats. Colonizing space and other worlds only helps Earth and everything living or that will live on it, because while there are very smart people, humanity as a whole is a complete idiot, so the best thing we can do is reduce and limit the number of people here without cruelty or genocide. Think of space as a suicide booth, and let people be free. We shouldn't let insurmountable odds deter them. People will lotteries. Throw enough spaghetti at a wall and sooner or layer, it will stick.
The main thing is state of mind: being mentally and emotionally prepared that today is the day you get the boot, without any severance, and that finding a new job will take 6+ months.

If you think like that you will make it a priority to have money in your savings account, keep your leetcode skills sharp, and keep an eye on the job postings, occasionally applying to interesting ones (perhaps once a week), and accepting interview requests from recruiters (perhaps once a month).

Hyperswitch is an Open Source, Fast, Reliable payments switch that lets you connect with any number of payment processors with a single API.

HyperSwitch allows you to embrace payment diversity with ease. It helps in: (a) drastically reduce payment ops and dev efforts in managing payments (b) improve payment success rates (c) reduce processing costs.

We chose Rust as the programming language for its performance, type-safety and efficiency. Early results on throughput and latency are encouraging. Our roadmap is open for the community's feedback. We will have a prioritization process that is open and community driven.

We (Juspay) is the largest payments orchestrator/switch in India, running for the last 10 years, processing 35 Million Transactions per day. India is a very diverse market with 100+ payment methods & processors and we built a solution which is >1 Million lines of Haskell code over 10 years. Now, we wanted to take our learning and build it fresh for the US market as an open source, community-driven product.

We are committed to this initiative for the long term, and our upcoming ProductHunt launch (https://www.producthunt.com/products/hyperswitch-2) is our first step towards the long journey. We are on Github (https://github.com/juspay/hyperswitch), and would love your feedback. Happy to answer any questions you may have!
It's not that surprising. Have you ever been in a meeting with members from multiple companies? You can hear a pin drop, they are all afraid of spilling secrets or just deferring to management (which is usually also in the room since those tend to be high profile meetings). The only way to get this done is to do it in-house like Apple does. I think MS has sincerely pushed on this with the Surfaces but I don't think they control enough of the vertical below chipset level to match Apple.

Basically Intel and MS would have to merge and on a deep cultural level. That's what Apple has.
Very promising. I believe the uses of OpenAI that will stick in the long term are like this, and other tools should be experimenting with this kind of integration.

Otherwise, there's room for other solutions, as airops sidekick [1] that uses browser extensions to embed itself in other data tools.

Quit with a plan. I know the classic knee-jerk advice is to have a job in waiting first, but that may not apply to you. A well-crafted sabbatical can give you a sense of energy, motivation, and purpose.

You might be able to do it from abroad on the cheap. There are plenty of resources that can help you structure your thought and time. Just realize being single and financially secure is an opportunity to explore and discover. These moments in life where you have the freedom and interest to work on yourself aren't all that many. Good luck.
The problem is that the normal M1 only allows one external DisplayLink screen on macOS (Linux can get more screens out of the same hardware, I believe, as long as the I/O bandwidth doesn't get exceeded).

In the end, the problem is that the first M1 chips simply didn't have the I/O capacity to drive multiple screens normally like the Intel machines before them could. Higher end and more recent chips have added more I/O (two screens for M1 Pro, four to five for M1 Max, five on M1 Ultra)

DisplayLink, a proprietary protocol that sends video over USB, was never a problem. The quality and performance of DisplayLink is far below DisplayPort, though, because the video needs to go through software and an additional layer of compression to fit within the USB data speeds.

You can see the limitations per model on Apple's website: https://support.apple.com/en-asia/HT202351
> x86 is just too inefficient relative to ARM

Like, in what way and how much inefficient in 2022? Would it still be that when Intel finally gets to 5nm/3nm? Is the video reviewer lying or mistaken when he says 2 biggest differences that make up for most of the power draw between x86 and ARM are not in the ISA?

The west does have uranium if it wants, all it needs to to is kick the "green" politico's off the stage who keep it from being mined. The same goes for rare earth minerals, especially now that a large deposit has been found in Sweden - which has caused the usual reaction from "greens" who immediately started howling about destruction of nature and native lands. The same "greens" who insist on electrification of all infrastructure which requires just those rare earth minerals, the same "greens" who closed down the nuclear power plants which reduced the amount of reliably available electricity.

Given how those "greens" seem to make the west more dependent on China maybe they should be called "reds" instead.
