If the emulator is entirely cycle correct for the entire system (including the video system, which is usually the most expensive to emulate, not the CPU), then the speedup on modern computers will be much less than just comparing the clock frequencies.

Consider that each chip of a home computer system (CPU, 1..2 IO/timer chips, audio, video, ...) needs to do 'emulation work' for each 1 or 2 MHz clock cycle which can add up to quite a number of host computer instructions (dozens to hundreds).

If each chip emulator just takes around 10..20 host system clock cycles to emulate one emulator clock cycle, then you are already looking at around 100 host system clock cycles per emulated clock cycle for the entire home computer (in reality it's probably worse).

Such 'vertically sliced' emulation code is also full of conditional branches which put a heavy burden on the host CPU branch predictor.

...and that's how a theoretical 1000x speedup suddenly becomes a 10x speedup, it's not the CPU emulation (this is usually cheap) but the rest of the emulated system which can be expensive.

Different emulators use all sorts of tricks and shortcuts, but usually with tradeoffs like less precise emulation, or less 'compartmentalized' code.

PS: case in point this is just the top-level per-cycle function in my C64 emulator, which in turn calls per-cycle-functions in each of the chip emulators (which may each be just as much code):

https://github.com/floooh/chips/blob/9a7f6d659b5d1bbf72bc8d0...

I'm trying to strike a balance between 'purity' (e.g. an entire emulated system can be 'plugged together' by wiring together chip emulators, just like one would build a real 8-bit computer on a breadboard), while still being fast enough to comfortably run in realtime even in browsers (https://floooh.github.io/tiny8bit/c64.html).

It's definitely possible to implement a faster cycle-correct C64 emulator with a less 'pure' architecture, but it's quite hard to do meaningful optimizations while keeping that same 'virtual breadboard' architecture.

...considering all the code that runs per cycle it's actually amazing how fast modern CPUs are :)
Ummm no? This is a weird take. I want a device to run software, I do not care about their app platforms per se. I have a macbook and barely use the apple store. If they prevent me from running any software apart from through their platform, that is a problem for me.
What struck me in the article was the description of re-vegetation from farmed species. I was just checking out the last 100 years of aerial photography here in Sydney and it was frankly shocking how much things have changed and reverted over time. Original forest, then totally denuded, then dense vegetation, then back again over few decades. In a tropical area such as the Amazon I'm sure that you could see a totally cleared area reclaimed by jungle at rates exceeding a meter a month, even a meter a week! One can really appreciate that they didn't build in stone for fun ... anything else would have disappeared the moment they took a break from weeding.

ChatGPT is generally useful as a tool for most people.

If you work on any secret project, you're not supposed to just log into openai.com and ask ChatGPT about things related to the secret stuff.

That's why OpenAI/Microsoft has infrastructure to run separate instances of the models in an environment where they don't retain the chat logs and presumably have security audits etc. When the original military ban was in place, organizations in the Pentagon could not negotiate a contract with OpenAI for these deals.

I have no idea whether they have models that are oriented for military use specifically, but even the plain ChatGPT is likely useful for a variety of general tasks.
There probably is such research, but "minimum ecological impact" is highly subjective and technology dependent.

We had some impact as hunter-gatherers at 10M population, probably made some species extinct from hunting. If I assumed c. 1940 tech was the limit and wanted to minimise human ecological impact, this population would be the maximum sustainable given CO2 emissions.

Conversely, if we put submarine cities in deep water, powered by PV on the surface that are ready to withdraw when storms come[0] and feed ourselves on the most efficient foods we already know how to grow in sealed environments, we could probably support trillions of people… but at that level we might possibly need to find some asteroids rich in, IDK, phosphorus or something.

I have seen larger maximum population numbers, but they're for scenarios where you fairly strongly disregard the ecology — if you're willing to do weird stuff like putting up an L1 sun shade to block wavelengths of sunlight that serve only to heat us up because they get fully absorbed by the atmosphere, but somewhere in the 10-100 trillion range our direct heat emissions become dominant.

Re: building again...

For some people, they don't have the same drive once they've done it once and were successful. I've got friends who were incredible operators for their first N companies, because they were hungry, but then after a big cashout they started to suck at their N+1st attempts. They make mistakes like being unwilling to start small, feeling like they should be Respected(TM) and that getting in the way of their relationships with potential partners, not being frugal with runway, being too precious about repeating exactly what worked before, etc. I've also seen some completely unable to ever fall in love with an idea the way they did pre-exit, and just bounce around doing projects forever without ever committing to anything.

On the other hand some people get better, much better, on their later tries. So YMMV, probably depending on your personality.

It just is that complicated to bring up all the pieces of hardware in a timely manner and with the right configuration. Not to mention if you want to let user configure things. Just look at say DRAM init: https://www.systemverilog.io/design/ddr4-initialization-and-... Of course you're gonna give that hard task to a memory controller, but then you have to initialise that. This goes on for all the subsystems, with complex interactions and features, all of which need handling.

It's not a single microcontroller you're powering on, even if it were, those too require a bunch of initialisation code to function properly.

I believe /u/Tor3's point is that Norwegians would read and pronounce nynorsk and bokmål the same regardless of the differences in the writing.

It is. I don't pronounce English words differently when they're written with e.g. British or American spellings.

I'm working towards this but far from there. Of course, the storage can be on multiple hardware, say, via Syncthing (or other Cloud storage) but I should be able to replace the hardware and still know that the content can be sync elsewhere.
I my city we have to large supermarkets very close to each other with an optional self-checkout. In one supermarket there is still a person who helps shoppers when they are using the self-checkout the first time or hit a problem like the age verification. The other supermarket doesn't have that person and instead some other personell from the supermarket can be rung for, which takes ages. Want to guess in which supermarket the system is used constantly? One person overseeing four self-checkouts does work, but you still need that one person.

"When he plunged the red and gold flag of Spain into the ground on the Paria Peninsula in Venezuela, it marked the beginning of a "great dying". It's been estimated that 56 million indigenous people were killed across the Americas by 1600 – so many, it cooled the Earth's climate."

Oh man,What a piece of bullisht! comming from what was a respected medium in the past like the BBC.

There are some people that believe that millions of people could have died because of the illnesses coming from Europe, that at the same time came Asia and Africa as they are united. To say that those people were killed on purpose is a piece of sht, and propaganda without proof.

Not to mention the 50 million that is absolutely outrageous. Not even the British and North Americans(now US and Canada)native extermination had such high numbers, and that was on purpose("the only good Indian is the dead Indian" founder's fathers quote) and using technology available in almost 20th century.

Spaniards and Portuguese in 1600s were very small numbers and technology was more advanced but not that much. They conquered South America with the help of native tribes, something that is well documented.

And the queen of Spain made native Indians that had baptised by law equal to Spaniards. Something that people in the USA only made in the middle of 20th century with Indians, Mexicans(from conquered territories like California) and black people.

Norwegian here.

Nynorsk, or "New Norwegian", is really just used by a people on the south-western part of Norway. Other than that, it is merely a formality.

You'll have to take the obligatory classes in Jr. HS and HS, but that's it for most people.

A certain percentage of texts published by state agencies have to be in Nynorsk. The vast majority of Norwegians will never use it.

We also have two other languages used here - Sámi, which is the language of the Sámi people - the indigenous people in Norway, and Kven, which is used by Kven people. A Finnish dialect/language use by a small number of people in Northern Norway. That is why you can sometimes see three different signs when traveling up North (example: https://gfx.nrk.no/zDih8cbMibUfJJo4xiPqRQvkcy07eBhmSISFaS0Sc... )

This reminds me of something I heard archeologists discuss in the "Time Team" series I used to binge.

They left the city to pick up farming again.

I used to think that as well. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good and all that.

Now I see that selective enforcement is real, and extremely damaging. I no longer support tackling problems that address 1% of a phenomenon when problems that address 20% of the phenomenon exist. Otherwise it is just virtue signaling, letting the real problem continue, and pushing an unrelated agenda against the 1% offender.

I agree totally. This is why I would say a incel needs help. But like with any mental trap, addiction, anxiety, obesity, etc. the first step towards getting better is aknowledging you got a problem and your current way of living does keep you from improving your situation.

Thank you for your analysis.

I don't think it's a numbers issue. Japan with 127 million has multi-provider solutions such as IC cards, and I've heard India has Aadhaar and China has similar services.

But I agree with the federal part. I guess it makes things harder as federal states of Europe (Germany, Switzerland, Spain) has some centralization and bureaucracy issues, but at least they still manage to get a national systems such as ID cards.

> If the JSON[B] is {amount: 12.09} then you have no guarantee that someone picking it up outside of postgres uses float conversion which could lead to 12.0899999. With BSON, amount is a decimal128 and stays that way, fromBytes() and toBytes().

But how is that relevant? With BSON as transfer format you still don't have that guarantee that the client won't misinterpret the data it receives by using bfl8 as its own internal data format after deserialization.

All languages I know have libraries that can decode the numbers from JSON strings into their relevant arbitrary-precision decimal type. If the user doesn't use that, why would it be a failure of JSON[B]/PostgreSQL?
It would be interesting to know if the term was or wasn't related.

I've been around enough brainstorming sessions to see people come up with sneaky ways to name things after themselves; someone named Abbe deciding to use "aberration" to describe the particular distortion of an image because it sounds like Abbe is totally plausible.

On the other hand, if the term predated Abbe's work and the creation of the Abbe number, it's also possible Abbe decided to work on the problem -- or his mentor assigned him the topic -- because Abbe sounds like aberration.

(It doesn't mean there is a connection, I'm just saying that just because the etymology of the word is independent doesn't mean the use of the word is also.)
Heh, thanks - that gave me the impetus to go on reading, and was worth it for this quote:

There are other languages which are at least as close or even closer. The last sentence is even wrong. Object Oberon is a completely different language in terms of OO. Go uses the receiver syntax of Oberon-2, which is a completely different concept than in Object Oberon.

A small cultural elite within its own user base likes to thumb their nose at Bokmål, but the proportion of the population who uses Nynorsk is only 10%. The vast majority of the "cultural elite" of Norway as a whole uses Bokmål. There are perhaps some small subsets where it might punch above its weight relative to the total number of users, and I think that is what the article is hinting at. E.g. we have had perhaps more prominent authors who use Nynorsk than the proportion of Nynorsk users might have made you expect.

But conversely, you'll if anything be more likely to find people with negative attitudes to Nynorsk, with at least some proportion of people who resent having to deal with a language only used by 10%.
