There's nothing more aligned with the US's moral reason for being than to defend a sovereign democratic country from being invaded by a nasty, brutish dictatorship.

> the whole idea of eSIM was to make things easier for the customer, not harder and more restrictive.

I remember reading an article in a French newspaper about how carriers were "uncomfortable" with the eSIM because it severed "the last connection" between them and their customers. The latter would basically no longer have a reason to "interact" with the former.

I don't quite see how that's a bad thing. The less you have to deal with "those people" (and this works from either side), the better it is, no? In my case, the last time I've "interacted" with my carrier was some 10 years ago when my phone got stolen, and I had to get a new SIM. Other than that, I pay them every month and they make sure my phone works every month.

At least with my carrier, it's cheaper to get an eSIM than a physical SIM. I didn't actually get one, since I've had my current SIM for a very long time. They basically charge for the "SIM service", and there's a separate charge for the physical part if you get it in a brick & mortar store, or for shipping if you want it delivered.

> Usually only locally sold models are allowed.

How can they tell, are there still country-specific models? I know people from the US and from Russia coming to France, popping a local SIM in and being in business. These were all iPhones, though.

Isn't that what I was saying?

Since they have a speed limit you have to keep track of all gravity waves associated with all particles of the universe throughout all time and space.

So all particles still interact with all other particles, all the time, it's just that they do it with a time delay.

If there wasn't a speed limit it would be much simpler because all gravity interactions would be instantaneous and you wouldn't have to keep track of gravity waves.
This is pretty impressive. It seems to work best with verbose descriptions of what you are looking for (eg. I said I wanted suggestions for kid friendly hikes and archaelogical sites in northern Italy and that is exactly what I got).

The itineries suggested for me have pretty long distances (1-2h drive back and forth every day is a bit much, especially with kids).

I'm assuming this is based on ChatGPT?

I don't have the time to look, but I saw a YouTube video where someone swapped the dual physical sim daughterboard from a Chinese iPhone into an American one. It fit and it worked. I'm about 80% sure it was a dual eSIM only American model (14), but it's possible it was a single SIM/single eSIM one (13 and below). Anyways, I am pretty sure the space is there and is just unused.
True in some cases, but for some it's simply that addiction is genetic. It is almost physically/mentally impossible for them to say no to something once they experienced a high or euphoria from it, unless they are dogged about avoiding it at all costs. An alcoholic addiction can easily become an opiate/stimulant addiction or gambling addiction, they have to somehow manage to stay away from all of it. Being on the street makes that even harder because now you also have the stress of not having any shelter.
When Buddhism arose and developed, India was a rich country.

Much of the area was under King Bimbisara who was a powerful and just ruler. Crime was rare. Rule of law prevailed. Economic activities such as trade were booming.

It was one of the best places to be in human history. And not only Buddhism, other rich philosophical schools rose and thrived at that place.

Healthcare wasn’t non-existent, as there is recorded history of doctors and hospitals existing.

Buddhism, and many other rich philosophies could arise at that time in India specifically because India was rich, peaceful, and calm.

Kings and rich merchants paid for huge expenses of a non-trivial number of people not working towards economic gain.

No, I've read a lot of plant descriptions, and the ones they cite are enough to narrow the field quite a bit.

I'll grant the part about transporting it is a little stretched, but not enough to dismiss it. The article makes clear that while it was tricky, it wasn't impossible, and some people succeeded in moving the plants around. It's also possible that they could have just brought some seeds and tossed them around the country side, a pretty obvious gambit if you've got a plant that doesn't want to be cultivated.

And the discovery was in Turkey, not Greece, so I don't think the Greek tourism board is behind it.

This is where I consider "pride month" relevant: I'm not LGBTI+ either and for large parts consider the hate a edge phenomenon on internet and in some groups and more or less forget about it. During pride month there are so many anti-gayncomments one can overhear, which to me serves as a reminder that in my bubble it's not a problem, but once you step out it's a crazy world ...

I've thought about this a lot over the years. What you're asking is, can we accurately emulate our own universe inside our own universe at greater than 100% speed? If so, it would allow us to build a type of space-time machine where we could visit any location at any time.

I don't think it is totally inconceivable. It is definitely possible that there are hacks such as compression that would allow a simulator to run at above 100% speed. It also might not need to be 100% accurate -- we might find that running below that threshold still produces an output that is practically indistinguishable from the real events, yet allows it to run.
did you read the whole article? I swear I read it brightened 100x, which is not indicative of an increase in size or mass just of an enormous light surge via explosion in this case.

> It then slowly started to fade back toward its normal brightness

Seems it was just a blip of brightness. Mass probably increased a little because it did devour a gas giant but I'm guessing it's not a lot compared to the original mass, but I'm not an astrophysicist.
Given that you're the sole backend developer with a focused vision for the app, the Server-Informed UI approach described in the article could work well for you. It simplifies the backend architecture and makes it easier to coordinate with your frontend team.

However, for long-term scalability, you might run into issues with this approach. If so, take a look at "Bounded Contexts," a technique in Domain-Driven Design that helps break down your application into manageable, scalable units.

I think OP's question related to the observable universe vs what is beyond. We see the CMB (and thus our limit of light) only to a point, but that doesn't mean there's nothing beyond that - otherwise we'd be the literal center of the universe (I recall an old minutephysics video[0] on this).

> If the compiler is so smart, I guess it could insert a memcpy when needed?

If I'm reading your comment and the blog post correctly, the compiler would need a memory like access on every multibyte pointer argument where the compiler cannot otherwise prove alignment. Is that correct?

While the sentiment is correct as to why compilers makes alignment assumptions, a lot of the details here I think are not quite right.

> For starters, not all hardware platforms allow unaligned accesses at all

If you're dealing with very simple CPUs like the ARM M0, sure. But even the M3/M4 allows unaligned access.

> Even on x86 where it's supported, you want to avoid doing unaligned reads at all costs because they're up to 2x slower than aligned accesses

I believe that information hasn't been true for a long time (since 1995). Unless you're talking about unaligned accesses that also cross a cache line boundary being slower [1]. But I imagine that aligned accesses crossing a cache line boundary are also similarly slower because the slowness is the cache line boundary.

> God forbid you try to use unaligned atomics, because while technically supported by x86 they're 200x slower than using the LOCK prefix with an aligned read

What you're referring to is atomic unaligned access that's also across cache line boundaries. I don't know what it is within a cache line, but I imagine it's not as bad as you make it out to be. Unaligned atomics across cache line boundaries also don't work on ARM and have much spottier support than unaligned access in general.

TLDR: People cargo cult advice about unaligned access but it's more because it's a simpler rule of thumb and there's typically very little benefit to pack things as tightly as possible which is where unaligned accesses generally come up.

[1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10529947
> C has always had a concept of implementation defined behavior, and unaligned memory accesses used to be defined to work correctly on x86.

There are a bunch of misconceptions here:

- unaligned loads were never implementation defined, they are undefined;

- even if they were implementation defined, this would give the compiler the choice of how to define them, not the instruction set;

- unaligned memory accesses on x86 for non-vector registers still work fine, so old instructions were not impacted and there's no bug. It's just that the expectations were not fulfilled for the new extension of those instructions.
Ridiculous, I love it! Connecting old underpowered devices to the modern Internet is second only to running Doom on them.
Backwards time travel is perfectly possible, but perhaps not in our actual reality, but in a simulation of our universe, which would get you the data you want.
That’s why, while much of the linked blog is kind of off the mark (signs of someone knowing less than they think they know), the general conclusion, using aligned pointers is recommended, is one that I typically recommend to developers new to C or C++ anyway.

I’m alright with folks sticking to aligned pointer operations, largely for performance reasons. On some platforms, unaligned operations are really expensive.
If a --k&r mode were to be reliable, wouldn't it need to get specified first? Otherwise people would start relying on some edge case.

If speed is not a requirement for the --k&r mode, you could just take the tis-interpreter and note that if it runs without UB, it is still much faster than an actual computer was when k&r were active.

Would it even be possible to specify a variant of C that contains no UB (e.g. would define exactly what happens on unaligned access), but can compile practical existing C89 programs? I wonder if it could be written such that it could actually specify the behaviour consistently across the language intersection supported by both of e.g. GCC 2.95 and Chibicc[0].

Or maybe there are so many bugs in GCC 2.95 that it would simply be infeasible? How much time would it take to specify?

Yeah and always everywhere a mistake. It was a mistake back in the 1970's and it's increasing bigger mistake as time goes on. Just like big endian and 'network order'
A lot of the same problems come up later in the software lifecycle, though. I wish considerations like this could be a factor in purchase and integration considerations.

Indeed, but we don't need it everywhere — between transmission lines and that most of the good sites in Germany are pretty close to the major industry and population centres (except Berlin and Brandenburg, which is basically marsh and nature reserves, leading back to the transmission lines).
Reality there is complex. There actually many hospitals that are doing a lot of testing and publishing numbers. Many states have data publishing programs for all tests done there. And on top of this many municipalities are regularly testing sewage and publishing the results. So the CDC has to some extent fallen behind nationally, but there is quite a bit of information out there for those who seek it out.

> I don't quite see how that's a bad thing

But how is the carrier going to "engage" you? How are all the people involved in sales and marketing there going to justify their job?

A carrier that operates fully automatically with minimal customer interaction could indeed be more profitable, but it's politically impossible for any established company to transition to such a model since it would obviate the need for many positions there - those same positions rely on the current status-quo (no matter how mediocre) and will fight any attempts at improving efficiency.

(this is not limited to carriers, any large legacy company has the same issues - lots of positions are just there to create work to sustain other, equally-useless positions, while the new output of the system being zero or even negative).
Regardless of cross-functional teams, I think having to make changes at an API level at the backend for UI changes will negate a lot of the benefit.

For clarity, I don't think you need to treat your own front-end like an external consumer & think it's fine to have bespoke endpoints as needed.

What I'm skeptical of is the author's suggestion that a backend endpoint brings back presentational info like "leftBoxTitle".
> all I want is the production log in a .txt.

I feel the same way, but if you’re working for a reasonably sized organization, you likely don’t. Once you have that, you’ll probably do quite a few of the following:

- write “one off” scripts to grep and wc -l those logs

- make those scripts “multiple off” by running them from cron jobs

- getting tired of having to go look them up each day, mail the reports to you/put them on Slack/etc.

- getting tired of having to compare multiple reports, add the ability to summarize multiple reports in a single view.

- getting tired of daily checking that there’s nothing interesting again today, add outlier detection.

- on request from your superiors, put the results on a web page for them to look at

- on request from your superiors add charts to that web page

- after an outage that meant losing data that your superiors use to report to their superiors, spent weeks to make the contraption more robust an to add alerting

- etc.

It likely won’t grow as complex as NewRelic, but your bosses may start wondering whether it’s worthwhile to maintain that in-house, and be dependent on you working there.

But how long will factual accuracy remain below human level? I expect the incorrect information issue to be a short term problem. That new GPT-4 based legal AI the BigLaw firms are signing up for already produces some documents with a lower error rate than a human lawyer.

>This is the most common mistake the anti-Musk crowd makes. They fail to differentiate between a person being intelligent and having good self-control. They are not the same thing.

"Smart" does not just mean "high intelligence", as you very well know. In common parlance people use "smart" to mean an ill-defined combination of intelligent, knowledgeable, careful, and wise. A smart person is one who can deal with complexity and make good decisions.

Deliberately misinterpreting what someone has said in such a way that it is obvious nonsense, then claiming what they said is obvious nonsense, is not a clever trick. All too often effective, but not clever.

I am not willing to conclude Musk is especially smart, for the record. SpaceX seems pretty competent, but Tesla, Twitter, Neuralink, and several failed projects are technically dreadful in numerous ways. What can be attributed to Musk's intelligence, what can be attributed to his behavior, and what can be attributed to the fact that any fool with a big enough bag of money can hire brilliant people? I do not know.

What I do know is that every time he speaks on a subject I know well his remarks are word salad.
