Very slow using qemu. You can run arm64 Linux and run x86_x64 apps inside using Rosetta, if your virtual machine uses Virtualization.Framework (does not work with qemu, AFAIK). I suppose you can do the same with arm64 Windows and Microsoft x86_64 translation technology, but not really sure.

Yes, I find the anti-copyright position to be quite anti-creator and pro corporation that can afford to outspend competitors on marketing. In a world with limited copyright laws, I see no reason why Disney/OpenAI/Google/etc. wouldn't just end up functionally owning anything that a less well-funded person creates.

You disagree based on what? On virtually every measure they are behind in AI, I can’t think of anywhere they are ahead, please enlighten me
Regarding sixels: a bad standard is still better than no standard at all, a better terminal protocol for a pixel framebuffer, controllable via ASCII sequences would indeed be a good thing.

> it's smart enough to run a more reasonable protocol than sixel. like, it can run tcp/ip and x11.

...at the cost of an incredibly bloated software stack. Sixels just need the equivalent of a VGA framebuffer and would also work on Linux installations that don't boot into a windowing system.
You can use Rosetta to run x86 Linux binaries with good performance under a virtualised ARM Linux [0], but if you want to run fully x86 Windows or Linux you’ll need to emulate, not virtualise. It’s possible, but there’s a big performance hit as you might expect.

Rather than erect signs, they should change the official speed limit on that road to 10 miles per hour.

Google takes into account speed restrictions when choosing routes, apparently by assuming that you always drive exactly at the limit.

The locals who are using the dirt track will know that the 10mph is not operative and no speed limit on that road is likely to be enforced.

Better World Shopper (https://betterworldshopper.org/) is an effort worth checking out. It attempts to score companies in various domains along a number of ethics-related axes ("human rights", "the environment", "animal protection", "community involvement", "social justice")

It has some major limitations and is certain to be incomplete/inaccurate in many ways (I think it is basically the result of one person's PhD work and a continuation of that effort afterwards), but, it's still a great starting point to at least understand the broad strokes of which companies have the best/worst track records, and I think something similar scaled up and with a more transparent code/database could do a lot of good in helping to keep track of how organizations are behaving over longer the long run.
On the bright side, this makes intermediate progress simpler in some ways.

You can replace say, gas powered heating with heat pumps and transfer the gas to storage for use in electric generators for when demand and supply diverge.

These transitions can be done in parallel but once you hit a certain degree of carbon free electricity it makes sense to redirect focus to shift towards electrification as things that may have been borderline become viable.
>Unless you can truly, completely decouple systems -- making them separate products with dedicated teams -- you run a high risk of having a codebase that is more complex that people still need to understand in its entirety to work effectively. The worst of both worlds.

Exactly what I meant. And to make it happen you need to understand underlying business domain. Separate product doesn't have to be huge.

It's more of a typographic concept than being fit for actual use, but it was interesting to explore creating a font within a tight set of constraints.
The advantage I've found with multiple monitors is the ability to independently switch the "desktop" that's showing on each.

I can have a desktop for coding, a desktop for reference docs and previews, another for working on non-coding tasks, one with general browsing, one for chat/email/calendar, etc.

I've not found a satisfying way (on Mac OS on my Macbook or with various WMs — Sway is my go-to) to quickly replicate this ability to have multiple task oriented sets of windows visible at the same time and make them quickly switchable without multiple physical screens.
I like 25x14 on a 27" and the fact that on a mac you have to buy BetterDisplay just to make it work about 80% as good as on Windows makes me... not at all surprised since I'm supposed to use an apple display with an apple computer, right?
I don't think it's the GUI programming, at least not for me. It's the cross platformness, and the fact that everything needs some kind of sync feature these days, plus just the sheer size of modern GUI apps.

The main management issue with this project sounds like the lack of prototyping while requirements are unknown. Until they are rock solid every piece of code written should be considered expendable.

I bet the guy suddenly quit once it became obvious that they'd have to maintain a poorly fit monstrosity and management wouldn't support a full rewrite that was badly required now that they knew what they actually needed. And because they probably got a better paid offer from some other place where they could build something from scratch again. Or maybe I'm just projecting, lmao.
In principle yes, but methane leakage over the natgas supply chain eats that advantage up.
Great post. This is a massive change: now we get macOS VMs with full graphics performance and QE/CI.

This was impossible on Intel machines without PCI passthrough of a compatible GPU (on a Hackintosh).

I had to check whether this is a tongue-in-cheek joke or a genuine statement with arguments elsewhere. His argument is, in my understanding and reinterpretation, that copyright benefited publishers much more than authors for quite a while, so attempts to keep or strengthen copyright should have been for publishers' interest [1]. Not really surprising once arguments are provided but quite a stretch without them.

I mean yeah OK sure. But it’s also a law.
Being careful to use "final energy" not "primary energy" as the measure. You don't want to be worrying about replacing all the energy that is currently wasted as heat when electrification can be 4x as efficient partly by avoiding that waste entirely.
Not only that but the cost to decommission one is absurdly high and I've read in previous articles that this cost isn't even a consideration at all when building a reactor. Like it's just completely unplanned for and often paid into by the taxpayer.

They have become insecure not because of new languages but because web is no longer just serving a bunch of files. You are delivering executable text mixed with untrusted input that must not improperly interfere with other users and for that you need impeccable string handling.

As for international transfers - I never thought it's a good use case. Int'l wire transfers are getting cheaper and faster, so there's a diminishing market of people who want to do it.

For what it's used for - DeFi (i.e. financial instruments of all sorts) is an awesome use case, IMHO way better than the traditional system. The problem is that underlying assets are crap/virtual tokens - if it were actual shares/real world things it would dominate the market. The issue is with SEC/regulations - super hard to make a security tradeable on blockchain. Before SEC got involved (in 2012?) the majority of trading was on actual companies that paid off dividends, like the first ASIC projects, satoshi dice and so on.

I find the oppposite. The goal is not to be looking at everything all of the time but to make anything I might want, from key chat channels or monitoring dashboards, to my calendar, reference docs, secondary source files, etc. to all be "glanceable" within a given context.

I find a glance, even if it requires a turn of the head, is far preferable and breaks my flow/immersion much less than having to switch windows/desktops in place. It feels much more natural to me to place things like my calendar in a consistent physical place than to have everything intrude on one place, and I find it much easier to build the muscle memory for these glances.

The biggest downside is that travelling, even with a small second monitor, completely breaks the setup.
YMMV, but from my own experiments, on an M1 Macbook Air, it did not work well for me. I was trying to compile an Elixir codebase on x86-64 Alpine Linux. Elixir does not have cross-compiling. I tried it in a Docker container, and in a Linux VM using OrbStack. Both approaches fail, as it just segfaults, even on the first `mix compile` of a blank project.

This problem does not exist in ARM containers or VMs, as the same project compiles perfectly in an ARM Alpine Linux container/VM.

It's definitely not plug-and-play for all scenarios. If anyone knows workarounds, let me know.

I've been away from blockchain for the last 3 years, but from what I checked most NFTs claimed some vague attachement to a real world asset, but no actual connection. As in "here is an NFT attached to this art piece" -> "what rights does NFT actually give to you?" -> "well, sentimental rights"
The problem is that there are also corporations behind copyright as well. In fact, a more constructive way to see this might be that there are two groups of corporations---say, traditional media conglomerates for copyright vs. tech megacorporations against copyright---and creators and consumers are rather stranded between them.
With no copyright law, how would they own anything?

If anything, I'd expect the funding will go to those who can sustain themselves on things like Patreon and Kickstarter, where money is provided before the work is created, making the copyright protection irrelevant. And while the big corporations will get to own those Patreons and Kickstarters, hopefully there will be enough competition to keep their greed in check.

Well, yeah, if course you disagree. I also think every one of millions of users of my software should pay me 100$ a month until they die and then their children should take over. Carpenters would also agree that paying them rent for 200 years for each table they build would be an amazing idea.

But maybe the opinions of rent seekers don't always result in the best for economy and society.
Right but managers have the responsibility to validate everyone has not only the right level of urgency but that has it in the right thing. The natural thing to happen is small deviations escalating to misalignment and later lack of trust. Managers should check on the small deviations and gently (social skill) help teammates stream their energy and efforts to take the mission to success. And whatever the major constraint is for a given team, every business needs to de-risk their engineering investments and nothing does that better than a great team culture and great vibes among teammates. If managers aren't the protectors of that I see them as either incompetent, failures or frauds.
As a scientist, I haven't written any airport pop book, but I often interact with the general public through journalistic interviews and articles, public dissemination talks, panels, short pieces for media outlets, etc.

In any of these contexts, if you want to be rigorous, journalists typically won't even allow you to. Any nuanced take will be dismissed as "too long", "too complicated", "the public won't understand this, we need to simplify", "we cannot discuss this in so much detail because we need to engage the reader", "yes, I know this isn't 100% accurate but we need a catchy headline", etc. So when we go out of the scientific bubble, the standard of truth drops enormously.

Not sure how it works with pop books but I suppose there is some non-scientist editor telling you how to "reach" the public, so I wouldn't expect it to be too different.
IMO, it's pretty obviously all 3. Not letting people using the fruits of your labor (without permission), especially mental labor, seems like it's really akin to the right to privacy.

That said, once you share something publicly, I think you automatically give up a lot of that right, and the law only protects against people making money on it directly.

IMO, the question is: Is training an AI a direct use of that work, or indirect? And how does the law come down on that question?
Rust was dogfooded essentially as a replacement for C++ with better thread, memory and type safety and was designed to swap out C++ in firefox with a view to eliminating whole classes of bugs.

Golang may be the perfect language internally at google for all i know but where it substitutes for python Id rather use python and where it substitutes for rust Id rather use rust.

Ive been serially unimpressed with some of the design decisions, including the initial reluctance to do package management properly, the lack of exceptions and how long it took to get generics. After trying to write golang i always seem to write equivalent code with 30% more SLOC as a result of some decisions that seem more idealistic than pragmatic.

(im also a pretty firm believer that SLOC correlates to bugs, so i view 30% longer code, all other things being equal = 30% more bugs)

The expansion of what we know about the mind and memory. New research on dissociation, trauma recovery, the neurology of traumatic memory, etc. are fascinating and incredibly potent leaps in understanding for healing a large host of mental health issues and advancing our understanding of how we think from the external behavior all the way down to the neuron pathways.

It’s not really been a choice for me to be in this niche, but when you develop the lens to see some of the come drivers of how people all around the world act and think it gives you such a lovely sense of connection, shared experience, and empathy for humanity.
For some users it is actually the "Do suck" setting. Allowing devices to control other devices over HDMI starts to get random horse shit if you have a tree of HDMI devices. E.g. two devices connected to a TV, one of which is an AV receiver that is connected to three other HDMI devices.
Okay, so it's an especially hard topic, because the soundbites seem simple and dangerous (dedollarization, end of the dollar hegemony, BRICS will move off the dollar, the first signs of the beginning of the inevitable and long predicted extremely overdue fall of the West, etc.), but the prosaic technicality-dense details are simply long and turn out to be extremely anticlimatic.

Payment systems are already here that avoid the dollar. (From the extremely simple blockchainish digital-synthetic currencies like Ripple XRP to the classic SWIFT-like China's CIPS[1].) And these are already in use. After Russia got thrown out of SWIFT they are now basically using CIPS. (Of course they also have their own version, SPFS. "Coincidentally" its development started in 2014.)

However, on the CIPS wikipedia page you can notice that the important things needed for the actual settlement is a boring list of stuff about each member institution (account numbers, settlement procedure description, credit rating). And each member institution has its own rules about what transfers to accept. And of course in hard times trust is in low-supply, transfers start to get manually reviewed, tolerances start to decrease, everyone starts to hoard good money, thus only bad money remains.

All in all, the important thing is that there's no magic system that can handle payments without the usual institutional-societal framework. (Well, of course there are blockchainish things. For example Visa is doing something on Solana. And Solana is pretty fast and cheap. And a horror show to develop smart contracts on, but that's not really relevant now, and not important for Visa or Russia/China/banks, because they don't care much about the ethos of decentralization, they just want to have something quasi-trustless, fast, and cheap.)

> If that trillion is halved to $500B, what happens?

It depends, but, well ... nothing really. Most of money is already at rest. It represents exactly that stuff you got for it. It represents all the wealth created. It was printed to keep inflation around 1-2%. If it disappears in some computer system people will start to scratch their heads, but the ratios will remain mostly the same, so purchasing power and wages/salaries will not change.

That said if some bank decides to flood the market with cheap US Treasury bonds nothing happens. That's already in USD, the bank loses on the transaction a lot. And a lot of these reserves are in bonds.

Okay, what happens if that bank asks for the cheap bonds not USD, but let's say rubels? Okay, they will end up with a shitton of rubels. The exchange rate shifted, but nothing actually happened, sure the ratio of flow of goods and services will adjust as the overpriced rubels will be exchanged for a bit more goods and services than without this huge transaction. But what does this lead to? More exports from the typical exporters. It's not particularly good for anything that's hard to scale up, it will just result in price inflation. And then eventually the exchange rate will go back to reflect the actual flow of goods and services.
