Did you read the article?

> The 2022 injury rate at the company’s manufacturing-and-launch facility near Brownsville, Texas, was 4.8 injuries or illnesses per 100 workers – six times higher than the space-industry average of 0.8. Its rocket-testing facility in McGregor, Texas, where LeBlanc died, had a rate of 2.7, more than three times the average. The rate at its Hawthorne, California, manufacturing facility was more than double the average at 1.8 injuries per 100 workers. The company’s facility in Redmond, Washington, had a rate of 0.8, the same as the industry average.

Also, what's missed in your logic - safety is a process. You can see lots of evidence in this article (which isn't surprising, as Musk talks about it openly) that they avoid process of safety, view it as one-off responsibilities and will cut it whenever they need to move fast on some artificial goals set by the wealthiest man on earth.
Not that I don't think they are in fact superior in terms of like "Yeah I'd take Euro cit over whatever I have now", but doesn't Europe already low-key believe that anyway or is that simply the American hegemony talking?
The decision was kind of arbitrary though, and now economy of scale makes it very hard to switch. For instance, GaAs is better semiconductor than silicone in many aspects, and probably somewhat better overall for chips, but switching to it would cost billions

That Macrumors thread is pretty nasty.

A cubic meter of space has very little heat energy, that's true, but it's more about having only a few molecules here and there in any cubic meter of space. That leads directly to the problem though, that if there are no molecule to contact you and steal some kinetic energy and then leave, reducing your heat, the only option is to radiate it away. Radiating heat is exceptionally inefficient at rejecting heat from an object than using a material of some sort to sap away that heat with physical contact.

* The last place I worked had posted office hours for all the teams and that worked _really well_, especially if you didn't know who, exactly was responsible for X, or if you just had a hodgepodge of semi-random questions about some overlapping functionality.

I imagine he thinks that it's ironic for an ardent capitalist to make references to a book about a socialist paradise, and "irony is dead" means he thinks Musk doesn't recognise the possibility of irony. Or something.
> It’s especially on me as my last private intel MBP before my “maxed out” M1 MBP wore out its on-board SSD after only 4 years and that one was large (1TB) with ample memory for the time (16GB).

I wonder how that's possible, and whether that's an outlier rather than a case of probable risk to SSDs. I've got the impression that it shouldn't be likely to wear out a modern or semi-modern SSD with any kinds of typical laptop workloads.

I daily drove a 500 GB off-the-shelf SSD in a 8 GB ThinkPad for ~8 years, and while it was for personal device, I used it a lot and even played games on it, often ran into swapping, even hibernated semi-regularly at times, etc., and there were never any signs of problems with the SSD.

4 years sounds like pretty bad luck.
I don't think that will ever happen... Too many big businesses squatting on their IPv4 allocations to ever want to spend the money to implement IPv6. They don't need to worry about allocation running out or charging for IPs because they've got theirs.

They would need to be forced to move by customers, probably through an ISP being IPv6 only. And that probably won't ever happen as the customers of those ISPs would drop them for one that does support IPv4 because they expect access to the same big businesses mentioned earlier.

I think the whole thing has lots of inertia to not move to IPv6 and there's no incentive to force it.

Wow. Skimming through that article, the articles linked at the bottom and some of Jeff’s comments and replies to the articles, he comes across way more hardcore and intense than the chill, wholesome guy I’m used to seeing. The stuff I just read was from over a decade ago, so maybe he’s changed, or maybe the only thing that’s changed is how outspoken he is about this. I like Jeff’s work, this bums me out.

Can you please provide an example of a single unregulated market?

Free markets do not exist. Capitalism does not exist. Socialism does not exist. Communism does not exist. Humans seem to be completely incapable of implementing any such systems. Human systems invariably seem to become oligarchies and/or fascism.

As regards your assertions of monopoly, a monopoly is essentially impossible without either a state apparatus to exploit. Otherwise, the moment money were made in any given industry, competition would result. Only via regulatory barriers to entry or via corporate welfare can a monopoly be built and maintained for any serious amount of time.

Given that the Zuckerverse has been a bust, and the motorola razr has now been replaced with the ubiquitous touchscreen-slab smartphone, I find it difficult to believe that either of these were inevitable, even as an intermediate step towards the next thing.

But I think the author's main point isn't to point out that these things come from science fiction (these points are obvious). The point is that science fiction is _fiction_, and devoting huge amounts of real-world resources to build a fantasy isn't going great for solving the actual, real-world problems we face.

Also, no idea why rebuilding outlook in what can be argued is an inferior technology for a desktop app could be considered a good idea. I can imagine some advantages in consolidating the web and Windows code base, but I'd say that's already a fluke - web and desktop apps are not the same nor I expect them to ever be (and should they?? Look at your phone and ask yourself if you'd prefer all your apps ported to the browser).

New Outlook lacks many, many features it predecessor has, like hot keys and viewing options. It doesn't support multiple languages, a must for someone who isn't American but works in a global company. And yet they push it as if it was an improvement.

Whoever made the decisions on this should rethink their career.
Why does someone who writes great sci-fi suddenly have social capital to weigh in on industry and politics, two things firmly outside of his wheelhouse?

I get it, it's fashionable in Europe to hate billionaire American industrialists, but at what point did our hatred of capitalists (note: I don't hate capitalists) decide to overshadow our, you know, lifelong lust for the stars?

Is there anyone else trying to build actual habitats (for actual people, not just a handful of taikonauts) in orbit on a timescale that would let people like Mr Stross and I see them (and perchance even use them) in our lifetime? The machinery of the state that European types like Stross seem to deify have not even announced plans in this direction, much less assembled teams and factories to move toward it. ESA and NASA and JAXA (nor Roscosmos or CNSA) ain't it, even if you 10x'd their funding. These are war and reconnaissance and research organizations, moving bulk humans off planet is completely orthogonal to any of their goals, stated or actual.

Every time I read a technologist's screed against Musk or Bezos or Zuckerberg (three people whose combined lifetime works do not even scratch a fraction of the economic value incinerated by the US military in 40 weeks) all I can see is sour grapes and ad hominem. These people did not create nor perpetuate the attributes of the dystopia you claim to reside in (that was the CIA). (It's also not actually a dystopia, or anything resembling one; ask any of the two billion people lifted out of dirt poverty (largely due to technology!) in the last three decades.)

The old planet will go to hell in its own way from its own inhabitants. I'd rather live in space where it's safer. (Also, how cool would it be to escape before Earth is finally fully conquered? This would mean that humans as a species successfully avoid a total hierarchy.)
"From the EU" is hard to discriminate in our industry these days I think, things are developed all around the world these days.

Then again maybe we have different tech stacks but mine typically includes: Linux (originally from Finland), ARM (from previously EU member UK), C++ (designed by a Dane) and Python (designed by a Dutch). That's the basis at least then there are other stuff as the need comes by.

As for social stability, I didn't intentionally misinterpret you. The kind of monetary equality that we traditionally have had in Sweden is good for social stability (the one without quotes I was talking about). That has changed during the last couple of decades and with increasing differences in income comes the increasing social problems we see.

OTOH I do agree that Jante can definitely be a negative factor when it comes to innovation.
> I would either support all kinds of countries markets, or focus only on the US because there will be lots of resources online that help translate US market knowsledge to a specific country's.

Fun fact, India's public accounting for corporates actually mirrors the European standard in this regard (IFRS), so on a corporate level, it's very similar. On the other hand, the US follows GAAP Standards, which are different in a number of significant ways.

Apart from that, there's very specific knowledge for the Indian markets, specifically the prevalence of otherwise globally very niche financial instruments like chits or actual gold, or the prevalence of insider trading and a general lack of regulation on that front. Although I'm seeing a lot of strong development on that front too.

That is so true. I actually met someone who seriously wished to do what he could to make reality like a cyberpunk novel, completely oblivious to the fact that the books are dystopias.

Tech people can be really, really, really dumb sometimes. That idiocy can go completely unchecked because they frequently arrogantly believe their type is smarter than everyone else.

I share this sentiment. Whenever I see his name I end up reading his article and whether I agree with him or not, the quality of content he puts out sets a very high bar.

> Each time the [std::deque] slides, every value in the queue has to change position in memory

I don't think that this is true. `std::deque` has guaranteed O(1) complexity for insertions or deletions at the beginning or end of the container. It couldn't provide this if it was moving every value in the queue.

> How do we alter the stackSum when the queue moves?

You never quite answer this question. How are `sumOut` and `sumIn` related to `stackSum`? This is available in the code but I feel like there should at least be a one-line summary available without having to click through to the code.

> sumOut is what we need to add to the stack.

This is supposed to be `sumIn`?

The examples that you provide use a radius of 2, thus having a `sizeOfStack` of (radius+1)*2 = 9 and requiring a division by 9 for each pixel. Have you considered using a radius of 1 or a radius of 3 instead? This would require division by (1+1)*2 = 4 or (3+1)*2 = 16 respectively which could then be done with a bitshift instead of a division. You'd have to template the code on `radius` instead of passing it in as a runtime parameter so that the compiler could lower the divisions to bitshifts.
The thing is, none of the new features are things I wanted from the game, or they are small parts of it but they're quarter-assed.

I think Apple should have more memory in their base pro models, but it can not be understated to those who have not used an 8GB Macbook Air how that does not impact day-to-day computer usage compared to a similar spec. Windows machine.

I had used an M1 Air with 16Gb for work in the past and was impressed by it but was skeptical of the 8 Gb version. That is until I bought one because it was on sale.

If you are doing video editing or using similarly memory intensive applications you will see issues, but you can in a sense say 8GB is ~equivalent to 16 GB on Windows for average use cases.

Nonsense. The linked post shows that they didn't have the sought information. If the information was present in RAM, they'd just read it from RAM.
It is conceivable that they wanted to express "although encrypted in transit, it is not hashed and Microsoft can recover the full password". However, you'd have to be very charitable to interpret the articale like that.

This is not a translation error either. The same mistake can be found in the German original.

> Did whoever write this realize you need to be able to recover the cleartext for this to even work?

The first author of the article has a degree in 'commercial information technology' and has worked as a sysadmin, so I assume they do understand that this is necessary, they may just have done a bad job of expressing that.

An article in a technical outlet should still do better in such regards.

For the keyboard warriors, defending it and telling people that it's individuals fault.

Lots of you work in tech, behind the desk. If the system you're working on keeps on breaking when others interact with it - is their fault or is the system not advanced enough? If you give all your employees root access to the production, and expect them to use it wisely and care about safety - when it something breaks - is it the fault of the employee or fault of the company for allowing such a reckless actions?
