I've always had difficulty falling asleep and I often notice when I enter this state and I get excited because it means I'm about to fall asleep. I'm excited because the frustration of still being awake is over.

Also, sometimes when I wake up I have a few minutes where nonsense ideas seem perfectly reasonable. Or it will feel like a complete loss of inhabitation.
Lately, I've been asking ChatGPT for answers to problems that I've gotten stuck on. I have yet to receive a correct answer from it that actually increases my productivity.
> the flagship feature there is async without function coloring

Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s only possible if you separate runtime threads from OS threads, which sounds straightforward but introduces problems relating to stack-lifetimes in continuations so it introduces demands on the compiler and/or significant runtime memory overhead - which kinda defeats the point of trying to avoid blocking OS threads in the first place.

I’m not belittling the achievement there - I’m just saying (again, correct me if I’m wrong) there’s a use-case for function-colouring in high-thread, high-memory applications.

…but if WASI is simply adding more options without taking anything away then my point above is moot :)
1Password actually bundles it with everything they ship (browser, desktop, even their golang cli): https://github.com/1Password/onepassword-sdk-go/tree/v0.1.7/... and then use extism to cross over its boundary https://github.com/1Password/onepassword-sdk-go/blob/v0.1.7/...

They compiled their rust libraries to wasm and it allows reuse of those rust bits across everything

The other famous example I know of, but haven't used, is Figma https://www.figma.com/blog/webassembly-cut-figmas-load-time-...
At that point, if there is a credible threat of those decrees being enforced, it's already over. The point is that obedience in advance empowers authoritarians to start ratcheting up the abuse.

edit: also but sorry, complying with vaccine mandates isn't the best start for the slope you're trying to slick up.
I can not remember the tree or plant and the following is only my best recollection and may be slightly incorrect, couldn't reach my dad to ask, he told me about a plant and I forget if it had basically been eradicated possibly to human harvesting and was unique to a region if I remember correctly and it was believed to be gone. But then some seeds were found and they tried to germinate them but continually failed. As I remember what he told me was that someone going through some ancient writings or paintings and it showed the tree and birds eating from it. He then said the person had the idea to feed the seed to a bird and see if it did anything. Apparently it was successful and he was able to grow this lost plant/tree what ever it was. The whole story sounds far fetched but my dad is not a bullshitter he would have seen it on some history channel or similar. Looking up birds eating seeds and germination explains that the digestive enzymes in a birds stomach can help break down the hard outer coating on some seeds helping germination. I will ask him when I can and report back if I can verify anything he said.

As for spicy peppers funny to me story. I grew a Carolina Reaper plant last summer and the plant did well and I got something like 200 peppers from it. Of course I had to know what it felt like so me my dad and my 13 year old son tried them. We all threw a big chunk in our mouths chewed for about 5 seconds and spat it out.

The pain was basically instant. It was at about 2 seconds I knew this was not going to be good. It was insanely hot which lasted about half an hour, the entire time me running my mouth under the tap or putting ice on it, trying crackers and milk, even tried to wash my tongue. Some how my son after about 5 minutes very calmly says can I go have a shower. He was hardly bothered by the pepper.

Funny thing happened couple weeks later. I was telling my friend how insane these peppers were. He then asks if he can have some as he has a bear knocking over his garbage every night and wants to leave some for the bear to eat and hopefully encourage it to stop. So he makes a burrito and fills it with 5 or 6 nice sized reapers and leaves it out before bed. Well middle of the night his phone dings and his outside camera detected motion. Fires up the video and what does he see, not the bear but some stray dog walking the neighborhood run up and down the thing in a couple bites. Oh man I hope that dog didn't suffer too bad when it came out the other end.
As someone deeply involved in local politics and in close touch with a large number of neighbors across one of the bluest, police-skeptical municipalities in the United States: this is a message board trope. Everybody expects to be able to call the police. You might, if someone is being their best self, get some hesitation before a call about someone playing at the park who doesn't look like they belong there. Someone trying car doors? 911. You'd be excoriated for seeing something like that and not calling.

This is just not a real thing, this idea that normal people will never call the police under any circumstances. It's even less the case as you go into majority-black neighborhoods, where one of their big complaints is that the police don't come when they call, only when they're walking down the street. They're being actively victimized police, and they're still upset that it's not easier to summon them.

I am speaking positively here, not normatively.

Are talented Japanese researchers emigrating to China? Not that I don't think there's good work going on there, but my impression from the outside is it's extremely competitive.

I definitely knew a lot of people who end up heading over to the US though. Lot of people who come back because living in the US is miserable for a lot of em though! The salary gap is huge (especially with the exchange rate) but at the end of the day Tokyo in particular has a lot going for it.

I really like Japan uni's being fairly researched focused, though. It's to the point where universities with exchanges with Japanese universities were complaining because people in their home countries had credit requirements for Masters students but Japanese unis were like "I mean you're a Masters student, go do research and take a couple classes. But mainly do research". At least that's what I was told.

But at the end of the day research labs in Japan can't escape general work culture pressures of the country. A certain very famous prolific architect gets all his work done by farming it out to his masters students at the university. Professors in many labs basically only live and breath the academic life, so graduate students are just constantly being asked to be in "work mode". Just no break whatsoever. Hell of a lot of churning yet going nowhere. Might be the case in academia elsewhere but I feel like people at least get a bit more vacation time.

All of that, and you're paying for the privilege as a masters student!
The drones would burn up. The satellites are in space and moving at space speeds. If the satellite drops anything, it stays in orbit and slowly decays. Dropping anything requires a large rocket to get out of orbit. The payload would still be going fast and deal with re-entry.

Also, the article doesn't say that they are at 60mi, just that VLEO goes down to 60mi. The satellites are likely to be higher because there is less drag.
They must be excluding Apple Mx series as that has had a very clear year-over-year increase recently.

I was wondering if this was a thing - in RC quads and the like we use these massive bullet connectors (XT30/60/90 and similar) which often have lower resistances than the wires themselves.

Yeah, they take soldering for the wire/connector interface, but presumably there are connectors similarly designed with crimp terminals, or it's just something the mfgs will have to deal with.
Disagree.

It's not trivial to manage a running container or group of, with firewalls and filesystems and whatnot.

My biggest gripe is that it's quite redundant with the os and tends to reinvent stuff. You end up needing to learn, doc, and build towards both os layer fw and container layer fw for example.

0.3% is extremely generous. Those are just green cards/permanent residents. That doesn't include the number of legal immigrants on various other visas. That's 3 million legal immigrants per year. The number of legal immigrants allowed to the US is higher than any other country in the world.

There is no difference between these and higher satellites. It still super expensive to get them down because have to stop orbital speed. If anything, VLEO is worse cause they are going faster. Not to mention the cost of getting into space in first place. Plus, need lots of satellites to support dropping things anywhere on world.

Also, it is rare to have anything that needs 30 min response time. Most things can be handled by local resources or wait for an airplane. Good example is that the US is working on hypersonic missiles and deploying them around the world.
I had an HP Compaq 2710p laptop with a 1.8" Samsung drive in it similar to that drive at the end. It used an IDE/ATAPI interface over an FPC cable, commonly referred to as a ZIF connector, as the cable uses a mechanical latch instead of just friction.
There's a difference between "obedience to a authority as a guiding instinct" and "agreeing with the political goals of authoritarians, and then finding that they've taken over and are doing what you want".

One thing I find very frustrating about articles and books like these, and about governance in the US, is the lack of awareness by the Professional-Managerial Class that there are factions within the population that reliably support any form of government you can think of, no matter how "backwards" or violent it is. It is only through the federal and state partnership in law enforcement that multiple regions of the country don't devolve into various flavors of revolutionary communism, theocracy, monarchy, petty-warlord-ism, etc. The educated person's obsession with "democracy" as a guiding light becomes increasingly naive as the pool of voters expands to capture every individual, as "democracy" in the case of the US actually means "a very strict limit on what the People are allowed to vote for". The constant shock by ostensibly intelligent people that huge groups of Americans broadly support policies the PMC has labelled as "fascist" or "archaic" makes me more convinced that they don't realize that the US is kept in line at gunpoint, not by some voluntarily and consensually held allegiance to internal pacifism and democracy.

An example: what form of government do you think street gangs prefer? What about white collar criminals? What about cops?
That was then, this is now. A country is allowed to enforce its borders and protect its citizens from an uncontrolled influx of foreigners.
The conclusion I draw from these analyses of Milgram is that fewer people obeyed to the degree originally stated. But the fact that even one of them was willing to obey at all speaks volumes.

Also consider that these were studies in which the the participants volunteered, and had nothing to lose by refusing orders or simply walking away. In the real world, these people would be agents of the state, or employees of a company, whose jobs, physical safety, and even lives (not to mention that of their family members) would be dependent on following orders. It's reasonable to assume in those situations, there would be a much higher rate of obedience than in the relatively safe environment of an experiment.

Conclusion: people are easily manipulable by authority.
Further to this, my (very basic) understanding is that the actual threading implementation will be left up to the integrator, so some implementations may not actually implement any concurrency (a little like the Python GIL in a way), while others may implement real concurrency, therefore meaning that subtle threading bugs could be introduced that wouldn't be seen until you run in other environments.
Absolutely amazing game. In my personal circle, literally everybody and their family had either played the game or at the least knew the main themes of the music. IIR it was also a bit cheaper than many other games.

I personally think the bizarre setting, art design, and great soundtrack (perhaps a top-3 ever in gaming) did a lot to overcome a lot of the awkwardness of the gameplay. It was an experience you wanted to have, it was original, and the concept was almost 80's arcade pure. The ambience provided the reason to want to be there.

If you were to reframe the game without those things, I'm not entirely sure it holds up as well.

But 20+ years later I can walk into a room with my friends, start whistling the theme and everybody will join in.

What a joyful game.

The tech is awesome, but the E-Ink company is holding it back.

We would have had large and cost effective displays well over a decade ago if E-Ink (the company) didn't patent patrol the technology. It's impossible to do anything in this space without touching their patents, and so independent of their direct involvement and licensing, there's no third party innovation or competition happening.

These displays have had so much promise, but they've taken decades to evolve into diverse shapes and sizes. And they still cost an arm and a leg relative to other display technologies.

>Otherwise the person torrenting a movie would be totally in the clear

Any examples of people being sued for merely downloading? "Torrenting" basically always involves uploading, even if you stop immediately after completion. A better test would be if someone was sued for using an illegal streaming site, which to my knowledge has never happened.
I understand your point but sadly I think it's too idealistic (not that we shouldn't strive for these goals). We already have those sorts of tests for browsers, and browser compatibility is still a problem. We have acceptance tests for other areas, like Android's CTS tests, but there are still incompatibilities.

That also assumes that everyone involved wants compatibility, and that's unlikely. Imagine a world where every WASM implementation is identical. If one implementation decides to change something to implement an improvement to differentiate themselves in the market, they'll likely win marketshare from the others.

Most companies implementing WASM will tend to want to a) control the spec in their own favour, and b) gain advantages over other implementations. And this is why we can't have nice things.

We already know what will happen. The US goods will be priced to match the price of foreign goods with tariffs and zero money will be spent investing in future production capacity in the US.

We know this will happen because it is what always happens when countries impose punitive tariffs on foreign goods. Later, the domestic industry collapses and the tariffs are lifted.
Hey you're right! Thanks for catching that.
