Yes, we'd need about 20% more electricity generation if all cars were EV's.

Even if 100% of all new cars sold today were EV's, it'd still take 20 years before essentially all cars were EV's. Add the 10 years to get to that point. So we have 30 years to add 20% more electricity generation capacity.

We're currently adding 50GW of capacity per year to our 1.3TW current capacity. IOW, about 4% per year. At that rate it'll take about 5 years to add enough capacity to handle a 100% EV fleet.

"Footprints in the lakeshore can last for years. People should walk on established pathways,” the release said.

What about paddle marks in a one foot (or less) lake?
We've been here before, (way) back in the 90s:

"Scheduler activations: effective kernel support for the user-level management of parallelism" https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/121132.121151

and also:

"Adding Scheduler Activations to Mach 3.0" https://dada.cs.washington.edu/research/tr/1992/08/UW-CSE-92...

People put a lot of time into thinking and researching this sort of thing. It even made it into Solaris. For one reason or another (possibly a lack of sufficient hardware parallelism) it never really gained much traction.

Another critical issue to solve is that to do this "properly" (at least based on our model of this from the 90s), you have to have a re-entrant context switch routine, which is an interesting challenge.
It is pretty silly how much our world events reflect that, you're right! I'm wondering the same thing. Alas, true as this narrative is.
Some details in the article:

> There was an attempt at making Cairo support GPU rendering, which did not work particularly well due to the library being designed around stateful operation based upon the PostScript model—resulting in a convenient and familiar API, great output quality, but hard to retarget and with some particularly slow corner cases. Meanwhile, other web engines have moved more work to the GPU, including 2D rendering, where many operations are considerably faster.
> No one needs to make sacrifices to fix this.

If no one needs to make sacrifices, then this should happen by default basically and we'd have to actively work to prevent it from happening.
* changelog feature is pretty great

* one other feature I have always wanted at my previous company is about transparency of how many tasks a person is doing, that way I don't have to bother him multiple times on whether a certain task is picked or not

* similarly for monthly planning or weekly planning, the stakeholders involved in planning is often the team itself and humans are not that great in remembering what all promises they made over the last week. i wish there was some way for all stakeholders even outside teams to be notified of planning events and add items to the planning event agenda

Of course it is.

> everyone else (Taiwan, SK, China, MY) is doing it against WTO regulations, so we may as well

You have it backwards. The US was/is/will be doing it so taiwan,sk,china, MY) is doing it. The biggest violators of WTO regulations is the US. And the WTO is pretty much defunct because of the US. The biggest and most egregious mercantilistic country is the US. Not china or any of the country you listed.

The sad thing is, the rest of the world should be subsidizing far more to offset unfair help US corporations get.

Very interesting - thank you for sharing his work. From my very cursory glance at Todd Ecological's homepage, their projects look scaled to individual residential and commercial wastewater filtration applications. I was hoping to see examples of filtration systems that would scale to entire regional watersheds, such as urban lakes.

In fact, this is something the [Beemats website](www.beemats.com] lacked as well: basic calculations to right-size their solution for a given body of water, flow rate, and nitrogen/phosphorous PPM. With that, you would know that so many square meters of plantings of X plant species would remove enough water pollution.
In fact, I believe that's exactly where this bug lies. You're effectively able to trigger a case in which passing `&'a &'b` without providing any correlation (`where 'a: 'b`) that one would normally be required to provide makes the compiler behave as if those correlations were passed, albeit inferred incorrectly.
The first one creates an implied bound, while the second is an explicit bound. The important thing about implied bounds is that they allow late binding of lifetimes to function pointers (or closures): that is, you can have a single function pointer type like "for<'a> fn(&'a str)" that can be called with any lifetime 'a. Here, the lifetime 'a is called "late-bound", since it can be different with each call.

In contrast, if a lifetime is subject to an explicit where bound, it must be "early-bound": each function pointer can must choose one particular value for that lifetime, that must be upheld for every call. For a practical example, you might have tried to declare a closure with a &T parameter, only to get lifetime errors when you call it twice. This is because the lifetime in the closure type is early-bound and must be the same for every call. (Sometimes the compiler figures out that a late-bound lifetime is desired, but the rules are very subtle. This is also why it's difficult to write a function that accepts a generic async closure.)

Late binding is necessary for certain kinds of variance, which is a big part of this issue. Function pointers are contravariant in their parameters, which means if you have a type like "fn(&'short str)", you can cast it to "fn(&'static str)", since a 'static reference will always be valid for 'short. They're also covariant in their return type, so that "fn() -> &'static str" can be cast into "fn() -> &'short str". But when performing these variance transformations with late-bound lifetimes, the compiler doesn't always take into account the implied bounds in the source type properly, which allows you to perform casts that aren't actually sound.
signed code bundles with sts must-staple style semantics for preventing downgrades sounds reasonable. would probably also need some kind of protection in the browser runtime that prevents/limits scope of changes to execution that can be evoked via web resources outside of that bundle.

kinda starts to point towards a move from traditional www domain/location security semantics to abstract identity based approaches.

Filing patents may suck for you, but it's not like, BigCorp who pays your salary is going to let you out of it. If you're creating something unprotected by copyright (eg physical), and don't completely control the means of production, then not having a patent means your invention/productivity is likely worthless due to competition anyway.

By the time you could have a product made, your manufacturer could simply make more and sell at a lower price those you receive nothing for. It's really common for kickstarters, and you can try splitting up the manufacture or adding little software bits to control it, but there's a reason patents on the creation of physical objects exist.
I work on an app that pre-dates Swift by a year. At this point I'd say about 60-70% of the app is in Swift but there's still large chunks of core functionality that's obj-c. It's mostly stable though and we don't work in that part of the codebase very regularly. It's been a few years since we made any noteworthy modifications to it.

My previous job was all Obj-C at a fairly large and well known company. When I left in 2019 they were beginning to experiment with adding Swift.

I started coding iOS apps around version 5 which was right before the addition of ARC. I've grown to miss the simplicity of Obj-C and have a love/hate relationship with Swift but likely in a few years there won't be much of it left except at big companies who have very old apps.
> What about the "and afterwards" part, where the banks that were too big to fail were split up, and regulation was improved?

Whether TBTF banks should be split up is still being debated. With size comes resilience (and fewer books to look over).

In terms of improved regulation, the fact that we're less than a year out from the second, third and fourth largest bank failures in our nation's history with seemingly no memory of it seems to speak for itself [1].

I like the options of muting or turning off simple mode, good job.

Given the number of people who voluntarily submit DNA to ancestry and other analysis sites, it really doesn't have much practical impact if governments collect it. Even without yours, they have enough of your relatives' to identify you. I have the same knee-jerk reaction as everyone else to government encroaching on privacy, but in the end we've all long since voluntarily given up any semblance of privacy. We're all carrying tracking devices and filling our homes with microphones and our families have given away our DNA for us. Privacy doesn't exist.
I'm comfortable in C, C++, ObjC, and Swift. I like Swift, but I'm not going to contort myself to use it exclusively.

I have some stuff that has zero Swift and likely never will. Most other things are a mix.

If I'm writing any ObjC code in a new app today it's probably because either I'm working with some funky low-level API designed for C, my Swift code triggered some kind of compiler bug, or I got pissed off at the way Swift mangles the AppKit or UIKit APIs. Otherwise, I'm probably using Swift for most other things.
Lots of "fatter" embedded systems run on FreeBSD due to the more favorable license situation. Not so much SOHO routers, but big industrial routers will use it. Juniper is a notable example. But also 1U firewalls, SANs, etc... are often FreeBSD based.
They briefly had GPU servers before. I believe they stopped when crypto messed up the gpu prices and supply. That's why you're seeing them in the auction now. But they usually go quick. This might change now since they have a brand new offering.

The old GPUs would have very litle memory by the way. Not ideal for AI.

You can scale those things with libraries also. The very browser that you're using to read this comment is an example of it. FreeType, Hurfbaz, Pango, Cairo, Uniscribe, GDI, zlib this that and a deep deep dependency tree built by people who never have talked to each other directly other than the documentation of their libraries - works perfectly well.

I strongly agree with you that this story is a nothingburger.

But as I note your reaction, I take a different interpretation. The
implication that statements like "Microsoft spies on X" are truisms,
is the news. We obviously all now accept as a given that these are
tautologies.

In other words "Spies spy on X" -> (is to say) "Microsoft = spies",

Making scheduling decisions optimally requires information only held on each side of the kernel/user space divide. An application knows things about its own operation that the kernel cannot. The kernel knows things about the state of the system that user space cannot.

Hence the "scheduler activations" concept from the early 1990s, in which the kernel calls into user space with sufficient information for a user space scheduler to make the best possible decision (in theory).

Why do you assume that Gemini doesn't have these knowledge cut-offs?

If I ask Gemini, for example "Give me three important events that happened during May 13, year 2023.", then it says that this is "in the future" and responds that it can provide some guesses "Based on publicly available information from early February 2023", so that probably is the cut-off date for the model.

However, I would assume that (just like Bing) for certain questions it can pull in extra information from web searches - the model can be old, but if the system puts some retrieved document(s) in the prompt context so that the model can use them for generating the response, it can use that (limited) fresh information as well.

I don't think there's any way to mitigate memory safety issues in the syscall wrappers or the kernel; if the very overseer that is depended upon to enforce some degree of security isn't secure, then it can't be relied upon.

I was moreso thinking that "libsyscall" would be like libc, so that people can use it as a stable interface as in Windows or OpenBSD. If you were to use both libsyscall and libc, it wouldn't be meaningfully different from linking to all of libc today. It gives somewhat more separation to treat syscalls independently of libc, that's all.
> because otherwise the injury society suffers granting such flavors of privacy is greater than the benefits society gains safeguarding such privacy

Ideally this statement would be true of every piece of law or regulation that reduces individual liberties, including that of privacy. However, what actually seems to happen in practice is that:

- government employees are incentivized to make things easier for themselves by expanding their own powers

- elected policymakers are incentivized to enact sweeping new laws with their name stamped on them, and are not disincentivized from or punished by engaging in government overreach

- ordinary people are not sufficiently inconvenienced by any single new breaches of privacy

It all adds up to a ratcheting mechanism that only goes in the direction of less privacy and fewer individual liberties over time, and only "crackpots" (or people principled to the point of removing themselves from everyday society, e.g. rms when it comes to free software) oppose it.

Women and men just aren't the same. Few women love cold machines, anywhere in the world. Even in highly feminist cultures like Scandinavia, female engineers tend to be in the minority.

We can look to the arts as well. In literature, you have a fairly clear picture of women reading different stuff than men. Same with music. Taylor Swift really seems to speak to the female mind, much less to the male mind. In the metal scene, the situation is flipped.

These are mostly introverted activities (reading, listening to music) performed alone, and yet there is significant gender difference. The same is true about, uh, porn.
