My takeaway as always is that clearly the single most impactful thing most people can do is not have children, or have fewer children. Unless you're a billionaire, nothing in your life with have close to the same impact as not reproducing.

I would however also point out that simply divided total emissions reductions needed vs all humans is misleading. The average Nigerian emits FAR less CO2 than the average Indian. The average Indian emits less than the average Chinese person, who emits less than the average American.
About 20 years ago, I had a similar idea for a Game Boy camera webcam, but I never finished it. My plan was to put my Game Boy camera into my Super Game Boy, and then hook my SNES to my PC's video capture card.

About 20 percent of all bugs in the Linux kernel are use-after-free.

With that said, I think proper tooling can solve much of the problems with unsafe memory languages. Question is then, why doesn't it happen? Are developers uninformed, arrogant or just lazy? Is forcing it into the language the only way to solve this?

200k miles is what $1k in maintenance? I was listing it but it was a rounding error.

I felt like 200k is also before major repairs for the types of vehicle you would want for this.

If you had $9k repairs and $1k of maintenance it would be 0.05/mi of cost but the former seems padded for a $20k vehicle.
Is there something unique to RISC that makes it inexpensive to manufacture custom chips?

Otherwise, I'd imagine the cost of the mask set and validation to far, far outweigh any reduction in unit cost you might see from a custom chip. MCUs are already extremely cheap, especially if you're buying significant quantities.

Q: Bobby (a boy) has 3 sisters. Each sister has 2 brothers. How many brothers does Bobby have? Let's think step by step.

A: First, we know that Bobby has 3 sisters.

Second, we know that each sister has 2 brothers.

This means that Bobby has 2 brothers because the sisters' brothers are Bobby and his two brothers.

So, Bobby has 2 brothers.
Telescript apps ran with an execution budget (measured in "Teleclicks"). There was also a permissions system. Apps were signed to identify their origin and on whose behalf they were running.
Yes, I'm looking at the movies and shows over the last 5-10 years, and they aren't remaking and rebooting arbitrary older works - they're rebooting the specific stuff that the current most-spending generation grew up with.

That is not "the same as C" and you certainly do not achieve the same performance as you do with C. Furthermore my point, which you missed, was that developers typically use different methods to vectorize performance-sensitive code in different languages (even Python has a SIMD wrapper but most people would use NumPy instead).
It's never too late. I shoot as a hobby.

Gun smithing isn't that hard for most things, so you can nerd out on that too, like building your own computers.
I’d probably not use homebrew or macports for zig anyway, because lots of projects track master (it’s annoying when you just want to write code. Good for people testing language features in the real world usage and shutting them down if they don’t work out).

Anyway, I can’t remember for the life of me if I added it, or if it was there by default, but isn’t ~/.local/bin in the path by default on Mac? Download and drop the binary there.

I find async is so much fun in Python and meshes with the other things you can do with generators but that is because I have the reference collector cleaning up behind me.

Looking back with like 30 years of hindsight it seems to me that Java’s greatest contribution to software reuse was efficient garbage collection; memory allocation is a global property of an application that can’t efficiently be localized as you might want a library to use a buffer it got from the client or vice versa and fighting with the borrow checker all the time to do that is just saying “i choose to not be able to develop applications above a certain level of complexity.”

Makes me wonder if you could integrate this ambition to do the web-stuff in your Python file with the FastAPI/Pydantic BaseModel situation. Like a HTML templating library made out of Python data classes (or Pydantic BaseModels).

Either way, I respect the ambition! :) Always cool to see web stuff with Python.

> I know plenty of vegans that, if presented with a situation where it was only PB and bread or other options, they would just say "Eh, well... I can just eat the other stuff for now because this is what there is..."

This makes sense. There is a logical reason to deny vegans food that fits their diet, and if you think about it getting arrested while being a vegan is basically two crimes. Any vegan accused of any crime should be forced to eat meat as a punitive default. The reasoning for this is obvious, for example
Can you show any evidence that you are less likely to catch Covid if you have been vaccinated? None of the official wording that I have seen from the CDC or the medical industry has said that

> As well as reducing the risk of serious illness and hospitalizations.

I’m not arguing that.

> As the parent poster said, "you should stop spreading misinformation". Are you usually prone to simplistic, conspiratorial thinking, or do you just have a poor diet of sources of information?

So it’s a conspiracy that I’m arguing based on information I’m citing from the CDC? If you find reliable information from the CDC, DHHS, etc I’ll concede that point.
Would prohibition really work? It's not like there isn't already a large network of illegal betting in place for all the bets that can't happen legally... it would simply make them thrive even more.

Making things illegal/banned might feel good at first, but if it's barely enforceable and/or the demand for that thing remains very high all you are doing, as a state, is foregoing on a lot of taxes while not even diminishing harm often (sometimes even causing your own harm... I'm looking at you "war on drugs"... and before that the alcohol prohibition).

Right… Please see above. Also, in riscv land we have machine, supervisor and user modes, with hypervisor mode being in the works.

Assisted logins are any "Login with ____" options. Google, Facebook, Apple, et al offer this. Its a bad deal because they (to a degree) take control away from you and contribute to further unnecessary tracking. I have anecdotally also found it to be annoying in terms of disabling if I changed my mind and wanted to use my own username/address and generated password to more directly control my account associated with it.

Additionally, if your account with the assistee was ever terminated or restricted, you may have a bad time trying to (as I remarked about) get back in direct control of your account. I don't like having all these things daisy-chained. Its like to digital version of being under conservatorship or babysat. If you're not prone to phishing I would advise against it, although I would prefer resolving that cardinal sin in shorter order where possible and practicable.

> It's a bigger problem in NorCal. It's less visible in socal and it's only mostly just a recent phenomenon in socal.

I agree, the bay area has immense wealth disparity and it looks like an abject cesspool depending where you go; things have gotten worse since COVID but I lived in Sunnyvale for a while and it is visible, but I will also remind you that skidrow is actually on the map, hell it's even on the GPS on Tesla's its so big.

This isn't a completion of who has it worse, I moved in the end it was so bad, but I get it is bad and getting worse and it saddens me as my family is all over CA, but you said it yourself: it's using illegal drugs like heroin, fentanyol etc...

The US created an opioid epidemic using legal means using big Pharma and it was systematically done with no regard for who it affected; I worked in the Industry and the little diagnostic firm I worked at that primarily did diagnostics got bought out by a Swiss Pharma Mega Corp and I've seen what happens from within; so if you want to direct your rage and ire at anything do it to that as that is how the biggest amounts of suffering have occurred. Perdue isn't the only one who leveraged the FDA to get it's drug approved, I saw how ELi Lilly do it and got the physician challenging the safety of it's drug get thrown off the panel first hand when I was a senior in University.

Moreover, this legislation pertains to the use of psychedelic class of drugs which are not recreational and have long standing efficacy in helping people deal with trauma and overcome their addictions. It has been the pharmaceutical lobbyists in conjuration with law enforcement who refuse and outright deny these findings despite having created a more wide-spread problem: I will remind you that homelessness before COVID [0] was already causing outbreaks of diseases from the middle ages it had gotten so bad.

Your observations are not invalid, your reasoning and conclusions are based on a falsehood and are easily refuted; it's simply not the same thing, and cannabis while legal/decriminalized didn't cause this issue, it was already a much larger issue due to inequality, poverty and corrupt business practices.

Seriously, I wish someone had the temerity to do a 1980-2010s series like the Wire to raise awareness on this matter; it would open people's minds to the notion that it's not just solely confined to one thing, let alone decriminalization of MJ.

It’s important to remember that GPT4 is only deterministic at the batch level because it is a mixture of experts model. Basically every time you invoke it, your query could get routed to a different expert because of what else is in the batch. At least this is my understanding based on others analysis.

The problem is that the software is most likely not composed by them in any meaningful way. If you take apart any proprietary firmware and controlling application you are almost certain to find boilerplate code provided by the chipset vendors (protected by NDA) glued together with other code from other vendors with a GPL violating Linux backend.

I think your wording is off, because 70% of reports bugs are not memory related.

I vaguely recall that 70% of *certain classes* of reported security flaws were buffer misuses (which zig handles quite nicely in releasesafe and using slices, which is recommended)

Edit:

Found it:

70% of security bugs were counted as safe buffer related. Note that by sticking to slices and releaseSafe, zig provides most of the same guarantees as rust in this arena.

It’s unclear whether a buffer issue automatically classified a bug as a security flaw as well, as in many cases it’s simply not. For example, a memory security flaw was reported in Stockfish that was simply not a flaw.

We are also discussing the Microsoft OS, which is a whole different beast than applications.

Overall, meh.
Will Nvidia do something similar? If not dig themselves, could they actually design and license derivatives of Risc-v? I don't know how licensing works here.

> Did you actually read the article or the decision itself?

I read the decision. Did you read my comment?

Your citation is correct, but you're ignoring the parts where the appeals court disagrees with the trial court. In short, the trial court wildly overshot the mark. The actual violation as found by the appeals court is much more modest.

My opinion is that even this version goes too far and will be overturned as well. "Significant encouragement" is likely protected speech and does not constitute a violation.
Double-barreled firearms usually do not fire both barrels as a result of a single pull of a single trigger. Oddly, the AF2011A1 double-barreled handgun does fire both barrels with a single pull of a single trigger and is apparently not regulated as a machine gun.

Depending on who was curating this I’d be up for it, and will now be quite surprised if Substack don’t make it happen at some point.

I think there’s a lot of value in being able to delegate to someone who knows a particular field the ability to say “hey, these are the people you should be paying attention to”. I could totally see this being used both from a “here’s people who think like I do” perspective, and others providing a more adversarial version with commentators from all sides of a field.
Why not just use AWS CodeWhisperer at that point?
> "...difficult for people with lower cognitive abilities to understand the benefits of vaccination."

Not a great theory. Most hesitancy wasn't anti-vaccination in general, it was specifically anti-covid vaccination.

Hesitancy can imply a greater degree of scrutiny and thought behind decisions. Those lining up first would include those who trust vaccination in general, but also those who do as they're told without question.

Smart or dumb, there's a trust factor associated with authorities demanding we take the vaccine or else.

Other reasons for not lining up first was seeing the evolving data in conflict with the message. Clearly there was a low risk of serious illness from covid for the vast majority of healthy people. Then we noticed vaccination wasn't preventing transmission as hoped or claimed. The vaccine waned more than expected; the virus mutated faster; natural immunity was more robust than claimed, and many other valid reasons for not subscribing to pfizer.
Interesting. Here's what I got on GPT-4 with no additional prompting:

Alright, let's break it down step by step:

1. We know Bobby has 3 sisters.

2. Each of those sisters has 2 brothers.

Now, when we say that each sister has 2 brothers, Bobby is one of those brothers. This implies there's another boy in addition to Bobby.

3. That other boy would be Bobby's only brother.

Therefore, Bobby has 1 brother.
Essay on becoming a physicist
Hmmm...2 to 6 percent of a market can be more than enough to make a difference, even a sizeable one, if there is already a shortage. Now, there is still the question of why there is a shortage, but 2 to 6 percent in an already tight market is more than enough to spike the prices.

If they are not performing their job, they will be fired.

Unless by “low performers” you mean the supposedly weakest pawn in some “feelings-based” CEO’s desperate attempt to increase profits. And when that overpaid asshole realizes that he doesn’t actually have any ideas or other ways of impressing the board (which conveniently also consist of overpaid CEOs that think that desperately squeezing employees is the only way forward), shuffling around employees whose jobs he doesn’t understand in the slightest, becomes the way to seem actionable.

It’s far easier to get rid of an employee not doing their job, than it is to get rid of a delusional billionaire CEO or boardmember.

The real question is how do we get rid of these abysmal, low performing CEOs/boardmembers who hide behind idiotic ideas that fuck around with their employees lives or depend on exploiting people from poorer countries, to cover up their own ineptitude?

(And no, “shareholders” are just an effigy, conjured to represent private equity and geriatric pension funds, represented by a handful of investment bankers.
