Well the repair cost if you have this problem on a computer would approach the used value of the computer, so its likely to become ewaste.

It is extremely rare that your compute workload has scaling properties that need just a little bit faster computer. The vast majority of the time if you are bound by hardware at all, the answer is to scale horizontally.

The only exception is really where you have a bounded task that will never grow in compute time.

Oh I remember this station. This was a part 15 station known as “Village Radio Montclair” that used to use multiple low power transmitters to cover a downtown area, around the turn of the century. I think they were synchronized to create a seamless transition as you left one coverage area and entered another. Or at least that was the goal.

It’s the same rule part that allowed for the low power microphone you mentioned. It only allows for 250 microvolts per meter (measured at 3 meters away on the FM band) which is a tiny coverage area.

Edit to add: Back in the 1990’s and early 00’s, these signals went much further than they would in 2024, because the FM band had lots of blank spots. With HDRadio sidebands and since-licensed low power repeaters, those blank spots are now filled up.

I propose that we as participants will have at least a minimum level of sophistication and acknowledge that yes, the law in France, as a democratic country with a rule of law with an independent judiciary, the law is, indeed, somewhat special or superior compared to a dictatorship like China.

If we cannot reach this (imho very low) bar of understanding, we have no chance of a fruitful conversation. If we would continue pretending that this is an earnest stance, we would normalize, justify and enhance autocracies, which we don´t need here.

One might be better of to try furthering these kind of view points in China or any other dictatorship of choice.

True - though only for certain types of labor. Entertainment, sports, software, the arts, but not many others.

You can't scale the labor of being on an assembly line, or the labor of being a lawyer or a doctor or a farmer or an auto mechanic. (You may be able to replace them with software, but that's not the same thing.)

(And, yes, you can "scale" them in a way by giving them better tools. A farmer today with a combine is easily 100x a farmer 150 years ago with a sickle - probably more like 1000x. There's not another factor of 10 available to scale them up right now, though, no matter how hard they try.)

I dunno, I've maintained a personal fork since around Chrome 100 or so. I am only targeting builds on Linux, I don't care about branding, and my patches are limited to about 300 lines total. The initial fork and figuring out the build process took probably 20 hours. After that, I've only had to spend on average around one hour per release of "engineering time" to keep my patches current. The build takes about an hour of machine time on my 5950x.

I'm not saying it's trivial by any means, but I don't think it's outside the range of a motivated hobbyist or a small startup. I don't think you really need "very capable engineers" personally. I barely know C or C++ and I haven't had too much trouble working with the codebase.

Oh, I suppose I’m imagining two implementations that both do the same work. (Like two rust compilers).

Eg, quicksort vs bubble sort. Quicksort is usually more code but faster.

Or a linked list vs a btree. The linked list is less code, but the btree will be faster.

Or substring search, with or without simd. The simd version will be longer and more complex, but run faster.

Even in a for loop - if the compiler unrolls the loop, it takes up more code but often runs faster.

If you have two programs that both do the same work, and one is short and simple, I don’t think that tells you much about which will run faster.

> Why single out France or four gras?

Because foie gras is defined as the liver of a duck or goose fattened by force feeding.

If the animal wasn’t force fed, it literally wouldn’t be foie gras.

Most other forms of animal cruelty in food production is because of industrialization. We could clean up many of those and still sell the products without so much mistreatment.

Foie gras can only be made by mistreating the animal. So it’s gonna be specifically called out.

Some of Signal's designs for contact privacy, including in the new usernames feature, rely on trust in SGX.

Except that requires time, money, and forethought. This requires 3 seconds on your phone after the fact, and will probably look more realistic than most fake bugs out there.
All of these are based on an article of faith that we'll keep pushing when we're already falling behind Moore's law and pushing towards sci-fi level thinking dust. There's an alternative path that's far less optimistic where it's still expensive but doable and there are places booting people up under horrible simulated conditions either for fun or for weird edge case tasks where sub sapient algorithms just don't get the job done.

Do you think when people as powerful as the U.S. President and all the cable networks smear protesters, do you think the protesters have an equal platform/power to dispute this and therefore it's a debate?

My point is not to argue that Russia isn't authoritarian but that every country seeks to delegitimize those who disagree with its powerful. That does not mean that there aren't a lot of people who may disagree incl for example Snowden.
Yes, that's a much more relevant counter-argument. I did add the qualifier "officially". :)

> There’s no reason why an Emacs in Common Lisp wouldn’t still be able to jump to a definition, or to documentation, or whatever. It could still implement advice.

Sorry if you were confused by my wording; SLIME is able to do all of this--and I am not intending to badmouth SLIME either, it's a very great and well-featured system. However, it plays the odd role of having to bridge the gap between Emacs, and the various CL implementations it's meant to support. Things like documentation of functions really come down to the implementation you're using. The de-facto source of documentation for Common Lisp is the HyperSpec, which is a collection of HTML documents. If it doesn't already exist I would like to write a hack to make these documents render inside Emacs itself.

I think I should clarify the idea that Common Lisp itself is merely a /language/. Unless you're only writing strictly ANSI CL, real programs depend on the facilities provided by the implementation; it isn't a complete programming system until you give it an environment. SBCL+SLIME, or Allegro or LispWorks or a Lisp machine constitute full programming systems in the same way Emacs+Elisp does by itself.

>And the entire thing would be hackable at runtime, unlike the current Emacs situation where everything but the core runtime is hackable.

Ever since Elisp has begun to be compiled into native code, I've become hopeful of the idea that eventually the core components written in C will eventually be subsumed by Elisp itself. However, I am also concerned that this will also degrade the overall performance of the system; not because compiled Elisp wouldn't be performant enough but because hackers might be likely to rewrite these components in a negligent way (the same way they have written modules which are the source of many of the relevant complaints, like LSP and company-mode)--see my other comment in this thread about the internals of the Lisp machine system.

However, having said that, I think a good enough majority of the runtime is hackable that it escapes being a problem. Much of the window system, for example is exposed to Elisp: one of my projects recently has been to write a drop-in replacement for the X window context menus that spawn text frames instead.

>And there would be packages instead of having to prefix every package’s function with the package name.

Packages with namespaces are one thing that would have been nice to have, but it's lack of them is well entrenched enough at this point to remain, and it isn't really a problem once you get used to it.

The current version of rustc may compile itself quickly, but remember, this is after nearly ten years of compiler optimizations. Older versions were much slower.

I seem to recall complaints that old rustc would take many hours to compile itself. Even if it takes on average, say, two hours to compile itself, that's well over a week to bootstrap all the way from 0.7 to present. You're right that months is probably an exaggeration, but I suspect it might take a fair bit longer than a week. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, though I suppose there's no way to know without trying it.
