Sort of similarly (sorry I don’t have a link handy but could find one tomorrow if anyone is interested), there was an interesting program someone posted in an AskHN post a year or two ago where the program took an input image, started with a blank circle that was made up of a configurable number of “pins” evenly spaced apart around the perimeter, and then starting from one “pin” iteratively found the next pin that, when connected with a line from the current pin, most made the generating image look more like the input image compared to the other possible lines, and then onto the next pin and the next until you had an image that roughly looked like the input image. The point of that original program was to figure out the best way to connect pins inserted around a circular frame with a single long thread and then weave the image with it. The original post had pictures in it of the guy’s finished artwork and everything.

I don’t remember what language he wrote it in, but I converted it to a react app that handled everything client side using html canvas and bitmap images. Not to publish or anything, just for fun.
> I suppose it’s not explicitly public that it’s mark’s jet, the FAA has it registered to A7P TRUST CO INC TRUSTEE in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Another quick Google will lead you to an article that talks about how Mark’s last house was sold by an LLC managed by A7P (real estate transactions and their parties are also public data in most US jurisdictions). It’s not as if these accounts were revealing deep secrets, that were otherwise undiscoverable.

Similar with Elon's jet:

- was registered to a company with an extremely SpaceX-y name, Falcon Landing...

- the address of that company is 1 Space Drive... (edit: it may be Rocket Road)

- when you search that address, Google reports, "Businesses associated with this address: SpaceX, Tesla, The Boring Company".

Oh man that brought back a memory.

I once had a job operating an ibm mainframe. it was the night shift of a low tier job mainly feeding tapes to the machine. I would spend the downtime reading the documentation for what was for me a foreign system. The mainframe.

This system was set up as vse(a batch processing operating system) over z/os, however the operators would login to cms(a more interactive operating system) on 3270 terminals.

If unfamiliar with 3270 terminals they are very different than the VT style terminals we tend to use. the main difference is VT terminals are in a sort of immediate mode(they print to the screen and read from the keyboard asynchronously) 3270 terminals are more like a html form, you fill out the form and send the whole thing to OS.

My great useless task was to build a matrix rain screensaver on the 3270, This is not trivial, the 3270 does not want to do this, I had to figure out how to spoof an immediate mode, I got it half working, I could print to the screen async like but I could never figure out how to read from the keyboard without blocking.

Once I had my async tty library, my next great useless task was to make an analog clock screen saver. This was it's own pile of worms as rexx(the cms scripting language) had no trig functions. I was smuggling in printouts from the nist library of functions on how to calculate sin, tan, pow... etc... and ended up writing some of the worlds slowest trig and exponential libs.

I think the nist library was this https://dlmf.nist.gov/ I have a great, perhaps unwarranted respect for nist to this day for providing this amazing resource.

Unfortunately I was not able to save any of my code from that job, I would love to look at it again.

5nm can hold roughly a gigabyte of SRAM on a cpu-sized die, that's around $130/GB I believe. At some point 5nm will be cheap enough that we can start considering replacing DRAM with SRAM directly on the chip (aka L4 cache). I wonder how big of a latency and bandwidth bonus that'd be. You could even go for a larger node size without losing much capacity for half the price.
> people decided to behave in ways that allow Elsevier to rent-seek

Your liberal ideology results in a confusion about what it means to rent-seek. This is possible only if people have no way to escape the rent. Elsevier and other companies do this by restricting the freedom of readers, since the publisher has a monopoly of access to scientific publications. It is not a matter of user behavior, since scientists cannot choose to ignore published research. The only other option available is breaking the law.
The idea that the phage could help before, during, and after is pretty interesting. Because although sometimes there are Prophylactic antibiotics, they aren't generally given to an entire population to my knowledge. And since diseases like this tend to be endemic to specific areas rather than a case here and there worldwide, so having something that's almost the equivalent of vaccine (although presumably short lived?) could really be effective for locals and travelers. Reducing the load ending back up in the water supply would then further reduce cases (ideally, although the extremely low load for this one may make it difficult).

Way more to learn here. The Soviets were really big on phage research also, wonder if they still have any interesting learnings: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7653335/

A DOS screensaver that would convert the current text buffer to EGA graphics equivalent, after which animated ants would crawl out from the edge of the screen and gradually eat the text. The ants were programmed to follow randomly generated paths, but would tend to follow tightly looped paths when they had recently fed, but follow paths with a longer loop when they were "hungry", in order to help them find the last fragments of text left on the screen - a very primitive and early form of Artificial Intelligence.

A DHCP option would be the correct way to specify a captive portal on a LAN. We have DHCP options for tons of things: IP phones, TFTP servers, cable boxes. One more option for a captive portal authentication URL would properly inform clients that there is a captive portal and how to access it. (It being a URL means it can also specify the protocol, so you aren't even locked into web browsers)

My assumption is this wasn't adopted because operators want the option of placing the captive portal upstream of the local network DHCP server. DNS spoofing works great over multiple network hops, but DHCP doesn't. (I'm not sure if that's a valid argument, but I'm sure somebody insisted on it)
Don't forget enums. And lets get rid of the insane := syntax that makes no sense when basically every function is returning 2 values. Not to mention shadowing bugs like this:

I implemented pong as a cellular automaton [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19155205].

It's basically the one hobby project that I've ever really completed; the others always seem to drag on, semi-finished.
If the comments in here are correct, RISC-V is really not an option at this time due to performance.

> One oil well can produce an amount of free energy (24/7) that a 100 acre wind farm can only produce sporadically, assuming the well is a reasonably high volume producer. It depends on the specific well/geology.

Except it can't, a 100 acre wind farm can produce energy indefinitely while a oil well will eventually run dry.

The idea that fossil fuels are more ecologically favorable because it's 'dense' needs to address not only external factors, but that fossil fuels are non-renewable.
Reminiscent of the "working for the man" paradoxes:

- If you complete your work faster, you will be assigned more work, reducing free time as well as hourly wage.

- Any improvements in productivity will become the new baseline for performance.

- Any cost savings will be absorbed by the company, while any cost overruns will be passed on to the rank and file workforce.

And the "conservation" paradoxes:

- The more you reduce power consumption, the more the power company will raise rates to compensate.

- The reward for reducing water usage by 10% this year is a mandate to reduce water usage by 10% next year.
I think you hit my points nail on the head. Automation is the upper bound, I'm not convinced on your latter point because market forces typically act before minimum wage, which I think a different comment or brought up in relation to McDonalds.

Just so it's clear I think if there is a legal solution to this it's on taxing the high end of incomes, inheritances, and capital gains, not the low end.

For this reason it’s pretty unusual to see an analysis of the US budget aimed at policy nerds that includes Social Security. Almost all serious discussion about it excludes that.

You tend to only see it included when the full total of money disbursed by the government from any pot and for any purpose is expressly relevant (it’s usually not) or in writing that is not aimed at policy nerds, but at everyday voters (to convince them whatever batshit crazy spending we’re doing in the author’s preferred non-social-spending item isn’t bad after all, usually)

>What is the federal minimum wage? Who benefits from it being $7.25 an hour? Not the common people

Really? I imagine that a very large percentage of the voting public, almost certainly a majority, benefits more from cheap services than they do from the minimum wage. The median weekly wage in the US is ~$1150, which is 4 times as much as someone would make from working 40 hours at the federal minimum wage. There is some upward pressure on wages overall when the minimum wage is raised but my understanding is it's negligible beyond a narrow threshold. So most Americans wouldn't see any personal benefit from doubling the federal minimum wage (making it higher than at any point in US history, adjusted for inflation). On the other side of the equation, nearly everyone purchases labor intensive services from people working near minimum wage, at least occasionally.

None of that is to say the minimum wage is a bad policy, but in the same way most people probably wouldn't want to pay a sales tax that raised the earned income tax credit, many people would be upset about the higher prices that followed a minimum wage increase. That's basically what happened during the pandemic; a very tight labor supply resulted in wages going up dramatically at the bottom end of the income ladder and the resulting inflation was very unpopular.

Qualcomm's migration would be much easier than Apple's.

Most of the Android ecosystem already runs on a VM, Dalvik or whatever it's called now. I'm sure Android RISC-V already runs somewhere and I don't see why it would run any worse than on ARM as long as CPUs have equal horsepower.
> Virtually all high performance processors these days operate on their own internal “instructions”. The instruction decoder at the very front of the pipeline that actually sees ARM or RISC-V or whatever is a relatively small piece of logic.

If that's true, then what is arm licensing to Qualcomm? Just the instruction set or are they licensing full chips?

Sorry for the dumb question / thanks in advance.
>due to performance

That would require pretending Ventana Veyron V2, Tenstorrent Ascalon/Alastor, SiFive P870, Akeana 5000-series and others do not exist or do not yet have any customers.

Pretending, because they actually exist, have customers, and are thus bound to show up in actual products anytime now.
ARM licenses cores for both CPU and GPU, not just the architecture.

So .. all the cost, time, and resources of building an instrument on the ground.

With the additional cost of lifting it to orbit, the additional cost of difficulty of in orbit maitainaince, and the additional weight and dimension restraints of going to orbit, the additional costs of over designing to harden for space and limited access.

Yes, there are advantages to being in space. They vary by application.

That aside it's still cheaper to build an instrument or instrument array that's deployed on the ground.

Eg: SKA - definitely cheaper on the ground.

Talk about deficit spending is basically nonsense from the vein of fake austerity politics of the past several decades, whose real purpose was to starve most government functionality while distracting from the many trillions of dollars given out as artificially low interest loans, basically shameless handouts to the financial industry and asset holders (see: the everything bubble).

This is not a very useful semantic argument. Pension programs routinely pay out to workers more than what was paid in; that's practically the definition of a defined-benefit pension plan. Either way: it's money the government pays out.

Edit: OK, following the discussion now. Nothing in the short term, potentially longer term.
This is incorrect per the US Supreme Court e.g. Flemming v Nestor in 1960. Social Security contributions are purely an income tax like any other, it is explicitly neither a pension nor insurance plan. Contributions create no obligation for the government to give you anything in return, same as the other income taxes you pay. The government largely treats it as tax revenue.

It is intentionally (mis)represented as a pension plan where contributions are connected to benefits but that fiction is solely to maintain popular political support, they can disqualify citizens from eligibility at any time regardless of contributions and, on occasion, have.

The main issue with Social Security is that most people in prior generations took far more out than they contributed, in part because it wasn’t really a requirement since it wasn’t actually a pension.
