They don't have to collude to react to a change in the market simultaneously.

It has precedent too, solar panel incentives, home building incentives etc. When government grants show up, vendors can take it into account if they want. If enough of them do, the market price has changed and so everyone can put their prices up. They are in a market that is not racing their prices to the bottom to drive demand so it works out.

> So, basic functionality is still not there 15 years after release.

X11 didn't have what we currently consider "basic functionality" for decades after its release.

The design of X11 says that every application connected to your display is completely trusted, hence why it can grab any key (and thus be a keylogger if it wants to be). The design of Wayland starts with the premise that every application connecting to your display might not be completely trusted, and thus has to ask for a global key shortcut. That makes some things harder, requiring the design of a protocol for such requests. It also makes it possible to have sandboxed applications. That seems like a tradeoff worth making.
That's not my experience. Mostly they just work. Boring, perhaps, but I really don't want my grocery shopping to be exciting, and it wasn't actually going to be a moment of deep human connection anyway, so not much lost there. I more often find a traditional checkout line tiresome.

Loyalty systems are an interesting point to raise, since in a self-checkout system they can't nag you as effectively to join. Otherwise they're an orthogonal concern.

Ah, the days of cubicles. Trimble Nav in Sunnyvale had medium-height, solid fabric-backed 6x8' and 8x8' cubicles in 2000. And it was nice to be tucked in a quiet corner of the building by the foosball table room before there was such thing as startup culture. Was almost detained by SGI security by Shoreline Amphitheater (near the 'plex now) doing field radio testing off a coworker's truck that looked like Van Eck phreaking equipment. I should've worn a hi-vis vest. ;D

I can fit 8' lumber or hundreds of pounds of soil in my Prius. That covers over 95% of my needs as a DIY homeowner. When I need 10' lumber, I rent a truck for $60 and a half hour of my time, which is more than paid for by the cheaper operating costs and insurance. When you throw in the purchase price, owning a second vehicle just to move large/heavy objects doesn't make sense unless you do it multiple times a week for a few years.

Well, the spending has to come from somewhere. But you'd be right to point out that in addition to taxes, we also have to consider government borrowing (which the full publication does to some extent).

Also, the article isn't claiming that Sweden is not a "welfare state". I calls it so in the title. It's claiming that they are paying for it with a higher tax burden on the middle-class.

"Synthesis of Clean Hydrogen Gas from Waste Plastic at Zero Net Cost" (2023)
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adma.202306763 :

> Abstract: Hydrogen gas (H2) is the primary storable fuel for pollution-free energy production, with over 90 million tonnes used globally per year. More than 95% of H2 is synthesized through metal-catalyzed steam methane reforming that produces 11 tonnes of CO2 per tonne H2. “Green H2” from water electrolysis using renewable energy evolves no CO2, but costs 2–3x more, making it presently economically unviable. Here we report catalyst-free conversion of waste plastic into clean H2 along with high purity graphene. The scalable procedure evolves no CO2 when deconstructing polyolefins and produces H2 in purities up to 94% at high mass yields. Sale of graphene byproduct at just 5% of its current value yields H2 production at negative cost. Life-cycle assessment demonstrates a 39–84% reduction in emissions compared to other H2 production methods, suggesting the flash H2 process to be an economically viable, clean H2 production route.

Your TLDR is slightly wrong. The Kalman filter is exactly Bayes theorem for linear dynamics and additive Gaussian noise. Bayes theorem is more general, but these assumptions yield a simple set of linear equations that can be solved very quickly.

In general, using Bayes theorem for filtering is often called the Bayes filter. Outside of a limited set of circumstances, it is not possible to implement. The Kalman filter is one set of circumstances because linear transforms of Gaussian distributions remain Gaussian, and we can specify a Gaussian process just by its mean and covariance. Another set of circumstances is when you have a discrete system with a small enough number of states.

In general however, the Bayes filter results in an infinite dimensional dynamical system since it yields a typically continuous function representing the distribution of your state given your measurements. The Kalman filter, particle filter, and other methods approximate this problem via a more tractable finite dimensional representation.

Sadly Computerworld 'Intel backs off 80386 claims but denies chip recast needed (1986)' article was devoid of technical details :(

Do you have more detailed information about what were the main issues with multiple OSes in Protected Mode? Was it implementation bug or fundamental architectural problems?

Do you know by any chance why did Intel miss POPF trap in Protected Mode?

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20160411-00/?p=93... https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/virtualbox/6.0/adm... https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/popf:popfd:popfq

Pentium Virtual Mode Extension (VME) and its Protected Mode Virtual Interrupts (PVI) solve performance burden of trapping, but despite being named _Protected Mode_ Virtual Interrupts this works only in V86 mode leaving Protected with this bug:

"The protected-mode virtual-interrupt feature — enabled by setting CR4.PVI — affects the CLI and STI instructions in the same manner as the virtual-8086 mode extensions. POPF, however, is not affected by CR4.PVI"

They even planned to patent PVI this in ~1992 https://patents.google.com/patent/GB2259794A/en and clearly knew about popf pitfalls back then.

Could this be what people in Computerworld article were complaining about? I dont understand how Intel not fixed it at all to this day.

Btw I find it funny and weird that Intel was lawyering around all the way in 1998 trying to suppress any knowledge of Virtual Mode Extension! Dr. Dobb's 'VME: Coming Out of the Cold' https://web.archive.org/web/20001217233100/http://www.rcolli...
It is worth pointing out the potential confirmation bias of a salesperson given the lack of good EV options available, unless this sales guy is at a dealer with multiple EVs at different price points they are likely just not talking to people who are looking to buy an EV.

Tesla you do online, and many people are shopping specifically for an EV, not going to a random dealer and considering it as an option alongside ICE vehicles.
Funny seeing the "atomic" recipe for refried beans. I've recently learned to make my own refried beans from scratch, and it is a super easy recipe. My recipe is recursive, though! I use dried beans that I've already cooked and frozen ahead of time.

I was looking at the new Mazda SUV, and the PHEV version was a $12k premium over the gas version. I have a PHEV and enjoy the benefits, but I’m not sure it’s worth an extra 12 grand (25% more than the regular version). I get that there are some cost savings in the long run, but electricity costs a lot where I live, and insurance costs also go up with a more expensive vehicle.

I can't tell you how difficult it was to sharpen my little paring knife accurately.

And then I tried on my big chef's knife, and it was soooo much easier to hold the angle properly.

I see this all the time, but putting that good an edge on a functional knife is useless wankery (if you're shaving with a straight razor, this does not apply). Studies show that the edge dulls itself down almost immediately upon usage. The edge still works well, but it won't cut your hairs anymore.

The article says early on that under California law, third parties intended to benefit from a contract can enforce those terms and that's "the crux" of Conservancy's lawyers' argument. But near the end it says that depending on the ruling in Conservancy v. Visio, we may get precedent that "anyone in the United States who wants GPL source code can sue for it, contributor or not." Any idea how it is that this case about California law could set precedent relevant to little old me who lives in Not-California, U.S.A.?

Of course it would be relevant to me because if someone sues some other hardware vendor for GPL'd source code and wins pointing at precedent set by Conservancy v. Visio, they'll likely publish that source online where I can get it, but that's not what I'm asking about.
Although not homeless per se, I lived in a 80's VW Westfalia along the curbs of Silicon Valley for 9 years without A/C. It had a solar panel and I didn't have to buy anything except to keep fragile West German engineering going. The problem is most Americans aren't willing or able to exchange space and comforts, voluntarily or involuntarily, for alternative approaches. Compounding this is most Americans don't have any savings at all and are living paycheck-to-paycheck. If they had funds then they would have an opportunity to use their imagination and lives differently, but too many are on the debt, expenses, and insufficient wages treadmills that may seem all but impossible to escape.

>Can't wait for 51% tipping point for EV on the road, any chance by 2030?

Depends on where you are. I'm in Shenzen right now and it's very close or at 50%. There are definitely more new electric cars than ICE cars on the road. For example, 90% of my Didi (China's Uber) rides have been electric cars.

I believe all of the city's buses are electric as well. Some people drive motorbikes here and they're all electric.

The difference in air quality between today and 6 years ago when I last visited is huge.
YouTube pays most creators zero, treats them like serfs, and allows people to steal any money they might make if some rando says that the channel is allegedly using their song with little recourse and no interaction with humans. Creators live in fear of a strike against their account, that's wrong. I don't have too much sympathy for Google. Google only cares about advertisers and don't give a crap about creators. I'd rather (and do) pay creators directly.

What a strange premise... Do the wayland people have keylocks on all the rooms, drawers and cupboards on their houses?

Unix programs by default have access to all files in the user home. That's the main point of running programs after all: to edit your files. Letting these programs see all pixels in you screen does not seem that bad, does it?

If for some reason you want to run an untrusted application, use a container. But building your whole house around the "untrusted" premise sounds ridiculous.
