It would be an amazing gift to you, but it would not make sense from the evolutionary point of view. Take an animal of your choice (e.g. a cat or a dog or a mouse) and give them through magic the ability to sleep only 1 hour a day or nothing for the rest of their life. Do you think they would have an evolutionary advantage? Quite the opposite. they would end up burning more energy for nothing, having to look for more food and eventually endanger themselves to predation wondering, rather than cozy up in their nest sleeping.

> Is Soviet Union and Russia the same

Yes.
Ah I get what you mean now. Yeah that would totally work. Having a custom tracing function per type lets the host language (C in this case) also store its own types in the GC Heap if so desired quite easily though, since all the programmer has to do is call gc_move(...) once per struct field in that function.

Writing out a typeinfo struct of some sort by hand is not as simple.

Maybe a good middle ground would be to register the tracing function separately with the GC Heap, which would return an ID for later use with gc_alloc.

I could also make the size just be the return value of the same function. The question is then what's worse, an extra 8 bytes in the header of every allocation, or the time spent in the function calculating the size. Since the function has to be called anyway, I'm guessing there's no point in storing it.

That would mean even the ID is not necessary, since an 8byte header is about as good as you can get due to padding.
I don't get the delta-v argument: now that it is in orbit outside the atmosphere, we can accelerate it as progressively as we want, e.g. with ion thrusters or solar sails, to raise its kinetic energy until it reaches a higher orbit, no?

Positioning yourself as punk, as pro-consumer, as an alternative to the corporate hegemony... This was all carefully developed by marketers and brand strategists to grow their vision of selling tech. You are not immune to propaganda, it was not some granola revolution that gave the people iPhones. And that's ok! It's ok to admit that marketing is an important force that should be leveraged for change and innovation.
Except that if you actually bother to look at the current plan, NASA wants to invest much less in the next generation station. Private companies will run and operate them. NASA will only rent spaces for astronauts.

The next generation stations are also smaller but will be launched in much larger chunks, making the price per volume much cheaper. And much more modern operation.

NASA absolutely will not invest anywhere close to $100B in those projects.

NASA budget will mostly shift to moon stuff.

I feel like you're obliged to omit "Louis" here? Certainly I would feel I can't add this superfluous word, whereas in some cases such words are optional I don't think one is here.

I can say "No, it was the Saint" and "No, it was Saint Louis" but I don't think I'd utter "No, it was the Saint Louis" except as a speech error, maybe prompted by rushing like a Colemanball (commonly sports commentators mix metaphors or change their minds about intent midway through an utterance as of course they're live and events are unfolding as they speak, e.g. "That was a decisive mistake although nothing is decided yet").
The worst part is that we already had a perfectly viable model: Netflix paid for the rights to everything and gave access to everybody for a reasonable monthly fee. Then the studios got greedy and thought "why should we let a middleman take a slice of our profits?" They took back the rights and started their own streaming services thinking that people would be happy to pay the same amount of money to access the tiny bit of content that they liked from that studio as they were previously paying to get everything. Inevitably, nobody could afford 10 subscriptions, and now their crappy services have reduced subscriber numbers and are either struggling to make a profit or going bankrupt.

> In fact, I dare say: every allocation size that is neither `0` or `sizeof(T)` doesn't fundamentally care about the size

Not true? When you copy an array (common case: string) that is passed to you, you want the copy to the the same size. No more (that wastes memory) and no less (then you don't have a copy), just as with sizeof(T).
> defining boundaries between markets that cannot be crossed

So basically entrenched companies in specific markets would be extremely hard to challenge unless you have very large amounts of capital just laying around doing nothing? Even start-ups would struggle a lot more to get funding because no established company outside of that specific market would be allowed to purchase them. I'm not sure overall that would benefit consumers that much (IMHO the complete opposite but it's debatable).

Of course it depends on how the boundaries are defined, but just in tech:

Apple (being a computer company) would have never been allowed to develop the iPod/Phone/Pad without spinning them off into independent companies?

Google (being an OS provider) wouldn't have been able to sell Pixel phones themselves, but that wouldn't be an issue since Android probably wouldn't have been a thing in the first place.

So we'd be permanently stuck with Symbian and Nokia/Sony Ericsson/Blackberry/etc.

Same applies to MS, which is a great counterexample, despite all their resources and power they completely failed to leverage that in the mobile market. Then you have Intel vs ARM, Google and social media, even Kodak to an extent.

Having a lot of money, resources and great engineering is not necessarily such a huge competitive advantage when trying to enter an adjacent market. You must also be capable of developing competitive/innovative products while not being afraid to cannibalize your current revenue streams. Especially if we're talking about major public companies. Pouring billions into some (potential) boondoggle without any immediate return is hard to pull off without generating a severe backlash from your investors.

Having a seemingly "perfectly" competitive market (i.e. margins are close to the "risk-free" rate of return) doesn't necessarily lead to a lot of innovation because companies in such markets can't afford to make risky investments and tend to just focus on maximizing efficiency of current technologies. e.g. yes Google being able to fund Waymo with their Search/Ad revenue/etc. is not exactly fair to their potential competitors but IMHO preventing that would have significantly slowed down any real progress in the field.
That's not true! I don't explain the alternate definition of a monad: a monoid in the category of endofunctors.
This is palpably false, as evidenced by the tendency for rich people to want to make themselves richer. Notice how the overwhelmingly-vast majority (if not entirety) of the rich happily did away with those candle-lighting servants in favor of electric lighting; why pay a bunch of servants, after all, when that money could be invested elsewhere? Likewise with the cheap cloth and cheap cotton and rayon fabric and boots and motorcars and so on; the ultra-rich have adopted these in droves because the alternatives require money better spent elsewhere. Yeah, candles and silk garments and horse-drawn carriages do still exist, but for the rich they are nothing more than novelties for occasional enjoyment; for their day-to-day lives it's all lightbulbs, cotton, and cars.

Not only that, but the rich tend to be the early adopters of these very innovations - that is, capitalism begot these innovations specifically to cater to those able to afford them, and only later (after the requisite infrastructure and economies of scale took hold) did they serve as any sort of boon to the common man. Electric lighting and automobiles are two particularly-egregious examples, and they continue to be examples to this day; it ain't the rich who are still reliant on candlelight and animals pulling wagons, after all, but rather the poorest of the poor.

The "underlying C semantics" is a very important point there though. Consider C++, adding a GC to it has the same problem. The GC in Rust was also a complete mess, they're kinda all in the same bucket.

Swift, had it not needed backwards compatibility with Objective-C, could probably have gone with a tracing collector. It's a higher level language than the other ones.

Australia electricity grid with 100% renewables and 120GWh batteries
For many small one off projects, you don't need enough ancillary components to require a dedicated PCB. Merely soldering a few pins to some buttons, LEDs, perhaps a ready made relay module etc.

In this case, a perf board to hold everything together is more than sufficient.

I made my own bathroom fan speed controller that react to humidity level by cobbling together some ready made modules, a few wires, LEDs, an arduino board and some Rust.

It was much faster than making a dedicated PCB.

In case you are curious, the fan is hidden away in the attic for noise isolation. The humidity sensor and an indicator LED lives in the intake grill above the shower. Connected via a few meters of ethernet cable running along the air duct to the control box. The sensor communicates via i2c. The control box adjusts the fan speed with a triac.
But that would take perceived agency away from the helicopter Karen in charge. :-)

Great points about the energy minimisation issue. Funnily enough, this is actually a problem with de-novo protein design at the moment: the designed proteins are _too_ stable!

Which part of this benefits from blockchain?

Suppose an alternative implementation where a media file contains a signed certificate of creatorship that can include other certificates (so your can cut would have a certificate signed by you, including as a payload the original certificate signed by the original creator). I can immediately see several attacks on this system, but I don't see an attack that blockchain would solve.

For example, the fan cut could just not include the original creator's certificate. I don't see how a blockchain would help in uncovering this. Maybe if the blockchain contains the full video files? Then you could use regular plagiarism detection software or ContentID-type systems to find possible rights violations. But then the blockchain size would quickly balloon beyond the point of usefulness, and also it's not substantially different from just putting all the involved media on public web servers for people to mirror.
One could also use Python and matplotlib for plotting in org mode. Gnuplot is not the only thing one can use.
My understanding of mechanisms from a chemistry perspective is that the anesthetics mess with the phospholipid bilayer making up the cell membrane in a way that closes off receptors. So it makes intuitive sense that dissolving giant xenon molecules in a layer could mess with it from a pure physical perspective. What's weird, to my mind, is that other noble gases don't have any effect - you'd expect a gradient.

a. There are very big competition then like HP and IBM (aix) on the same level plus many others, not to mention the distant future of Microsoft Windows later OS X. Similar we have amd, Intel and Apple plus china.

b. Not many people know sun or nvidia. That brand recognition is important. Intel inside …

I imagine the restaurants and their lobbyists will get their way, and a carveout will be passed. I also think that once the public finds out what happened, it will sour them on the restaurant industry. It's not like restaurants can't charge the same prices under the new generally-applicable law. The only difference is that they'd have to make the pricing transparent by including all mandatory surcharges in the price of the food itself. If every other business in CA will be required to do so, why should restaurants be exempt?

"Effective lobbying" seems like an unsatisfying answer.

I'm pretty sure the point is that the exact sort of "art" companies are using AI to create is included in the "menial tasks" category, and that we're therefore better off letting AI take over said menial tasks so that we can spend time on actual creative endeavors rather than soul-crushing corporate drudgery like (in the article author's case) press releases.
