Yes, unless you are doing a clean room implementation of paxos or the raft protocol it probably isn’t worth the effort to create harnesses to simulate packet loss, thundering herds, split brain, out of order responses, etc. Even then, if you are writing some distributed synchronization primitives you might be better off with formal proofs than some sort of test harness.
The problem is that the likes of Google, Meta, and Amazon are normalising (have normalised?) "scale via automation" and are making bank on an unprecedented scale as a result.

If they can do it, so can we.

Actually, there's more to this than DRM. They basically killed to support to every setup that don't have DCH¹ (universal drivers). The reason being because they wanted to do state separation in future version (likely Windows 12), which will require DCH drivers.

The now canceled Windows 10x already had state separation, it used Storage Spaces to manage partitions. It's basically immutable Windows, similar to ChromeOS.

There should be more enforcement on dubious banking transactions, numerous Australian banks have had some big fines because they were literally facilitating money laundering on cartel-scale amounts of money for years.

Yeah. Not many new instructions but many instructions required less cycles per instruction and the 486 also got way bigger caches. And the integrated FPU (IIRC the FPU was an add-on for the 386).

Switching from a 386 to a 486 was bringing a huge speedup back then.
Step 1, go back and get that chromebook. When your daughter is first learning to use a computer isn't the time to have her living a parallel separate experience to all her classmates, and to what her teachers can support.

Step 2, https://www.minecraft.net/en-us . Don't think of this as "how do I get my daughter the computer experience I remember from old, shrink-wrapped boxed PC games", get her access to Minecraft as if you're a non-techy, let her figure her own way out.

Once she has a basis for her tech skills, and is curious about technology, that's the time to start showing her things under the hood.
This reminds me of a game jam where the guy I was working with was watching a tutorial video at like 2.5x. I was shocked at the time yet later realized the brilliance. He learned so much faster that way. Now I have a hard time with less than 3x when watching some creators.
yeah, I wouldn't count microsoft or intel out.

Unlock bootloader, root with patched img, disable automatic updates, when an update comes out go through the steps of creating a rooted image and flash upgrade.

With root, some app to do backups and restores of system/app data (which is why you'd need root), + syncthing, you can probably get 99% of the way there.

Buuuut... You now have the problems of root, which means a lot of apps won't work out of the box, you'll have to do some per app config to hide root/unlocked bootloader from them, and that's only getting harder.

So tl;dr don't use smart features, and only deal with syncing calls/sms/photos. The rest you do via the browser.
>Above all, they are passionate advocates of what appears to be an impeccably libertarian form of politics - they want information technologies to be used to create a new 'Jeffersonian
democracy' where all individuals will be able to express themselves freely within cyberspace. However, by championing this seemingly admirable ideal, these techno-boosters are at the same time reproducing some of the most atavistic features of American society, especially those derived from the bitter legacy of slavery.

I suppose the loose definition of remarkable could indeed technically apply to the assertion that "capitalists" jumped on board the http and tcp/ip bandwagon to reassert plantation slavery.

Regardless, you've missed the wider context of the anecdote. Stephenson is referring to the stereotypical experiences on hippie communes during the boomer scene era, well before Barbrook and Cameron's concerns about some sort of subversion or other. They even explicitly specify that some pre-90s era of the bay area ideology obviously knew better, so they're in direct disagreement with Stephenson here. We have to pick one or the other. Frankly, I think I know which I prefer between "There's more continuity between the hippies and the yuppies than you typically expect in the valley" and "investors are supercharging democratized communication because it will make you racist and capitalist, which are equally bad".

For the rest of the context, you can read the essay here, which I think is a legal copy; Stephenson himself did also distribute it as a pdf: http://project.cyberpunk.ru/lib/in_the_beginning_was_the_com...

Biggest glaring problem for me is that they think it's somehow feasible to build on 7% of all land (for wind and solar combined).

The current estimate of all land built on in the UK is only 8%, they think it's doable to nearly double that?

He also seems like he got lucky starting in a constructive and productive work environment. If you don't have this level of support and opportunity in your first couple of years in industry, you're in for a much harder time. Partly because you don't learn as much, partly because you don't build as many connections, and partly because you end up learning bad habits that you need to unlearn later. Obviously a good start isn't everything, but it makes a tremendous difference, and it's almost impossible to understand if you've never seen what a bad start can be like.

I wouldn't say make is perfect, but it's different from this kind of tool. Make is more geared towards file creation that depends on complex pipelines. It's not a task runner. In fact, you have to force it to be a task runner with .PHONY if you really need it to.
We need a stronger system to buy out patents-- not just software patents-- for the sake of retiring them in the public interest.

The risk isn't just "we want 10 cents per consumption unit", it's that they have the ability to say "we won't license it for manufacturer ABC or purpose XYZ", and then they can change from being a tollbooth to progress to an actual roafblock.

There should be an easy way to blow the whistle-- invite a state mediator who can say "We've calculated a reasonable value of the patent as $x.y million, take an industry-wide collection and come up with that, and the patent is voided."
I feel like it would be better to split up the current streak of 5 working days we have than to clump it into 9 days of continuous working. You would definitely get burnt out after 9 days, as people already get burnt out after 5.

We should go in the opposite direction - something like Weekend Wednesday [1] appeals to me. That way, you always have a break to look forward to, and you don't feel like your off days are unproductive. For longer breaks and international travel, that's what vacations and holidays could be for.

I could see that a one-day weekend might not seem long enough for some people, in which case I have a compromise: the current system. It isn't perfect for everyone, and isn't immune from change, but it's a decent enough middle ground.

While Ike had a point, that point is also usually blown way the hell out of proportion by people with zero experience in foreign relations, national security, or the military itself. Usually to make some ideological point it's arguable whether Ike himself would have agreed with.

The second, human level is off shore and very tough to get clear with even if nothing was truly wrong. Chase once gave me exactly 7 days around the holidays to present a power of attorney, with no way to escalate or just leave the account frozen a little longer.

They definitely do, but there's a difference between being subpoenaed (i.e., forced to comply) and deliberately choosing to work with LE because it's profitable to you.

A cop can force me to show him my emails or text messages, but that doesn't mean I want to or that I'm making money any off of it. On the other hand, if I offer to let them read my emails for the low price of $10...

And literally anyone can be subpoenaed in the same fashion—FB and Google aren't unique in that regard. LE could subpoena the guy who runs your local deli and force him to hand over a list of every customer who came in on a certain day.
We need the ability to create computer hardware at home just like we can create software at home.

> If you consider the energetic content of the gas burned in a car, then you need to measure the same thing for the EV

True, but the resulting numerical "hit" for EVs is a lot smaller than for ICE vehicles.

This is largely because

1.) big stationary heat engines are much more efficient than small weight-optimized mobile ones, and

2.) the electricity grid also has some renewable energy mixed in, so a growing fraction of the electricity supply doesn't even need an (energetically imperfect) heat engine.
Because if you've worked on any large scale software project, technical issues like this are almost always because of priorities and timeline.

Acting as an alternative to krupan's Bitcoin-centric answer:

- There are other crypto rails other than Bitcoin that could be used in its place. USDC & stablecoins in general is going to be the medium-term winners in this space, as more services are set up to help people pay their bills with stablecoins. Here are 2 services that I've found within a few minutes of searching "USDC pay bill":

I don't think it is quite fair to say that HW Engineers are suckers for that kind of punishment. They don't enjoy it either but their options are pretty limited. The Yosys suite of tools is proof they are trying to fight back but it is an uphill battle as they try to decipher the encrypted bitstreams each vendor uses to hide what goes on between the curtain of their proprietary tools. With few exceptions (some Lattice chips), the various architectures are only semi-reverse engineered at best. The "suckers" can't leave that capability on the table in the meantime.

> Right now, different runtimes don't have any way to communicate what type an object or function is. That's what component model is trying to figure out. Without that, there's not really a way for a ref to do anyone any good, as far as I know.

All of that seems like more of a convenience than a necessity: even with just the current implementation of host references, it's perfectly possible to track objects purely through indices into a big table, using reference-counting on the module's side, with no JS assistance necessary.

In fact, wasm-bindgen has already implemented support for tracking JS objects as host references in this way, via the --reference-types flag [0]. I've tried out this flag with their WebGL example, and the shims are indeed very minimal: JS objects passed as input aruments go directly into the target functions, without any sort of decoding or lookups. However, JS objects as outputs are still inserted into the table by the shims (calling back into the module to get a free index), which I presume is just a limitation of Rust not being able to express a host reference stored in a local while calling another function.

So overall, there's no fundamental issue blocking native functions (or methods, through a bound Function.prototype.call) from being called from WASM with no shims at all, as long as the module can implement any sort of basic index allocator. Though I'd imagine sufficiently-simple shims would get compiled down to hardly anything regardless, in case that turns out to be more performant than Function.prototype.call.
