The good news is that we are probably a few decades away from robust rejuvenation, that will allow us to live more or less indefinitely absent catching a disease or meeting with a horrible accident or something. In the next 20 years or so we have a very good shot at a first wave of treatments that will extend our quality lifespan to where we will see the next wave, so-called "longevity escape velocity".

And yes, this is an ancient, ancient dream of mankind, one replete with cautionary tales about the Bad Things that will befall you if you attempt to actually solve it. (One such tale, The Substance, was nominated for a few oscars.) But so was human flight.

Potentially. I also have reservations about it not technically being open source
Yeah, it's brand new as far as you would consider in practice (they use existing libraries and the like).

The answer is not much time. The real question is how long to develop good quality drivers for a give platform (say, an x64 laptop)? How long to port/develop applications so that the OS is useful? How long to convince OEMs, app developers and such folks to start using your brand new OS? It's a bootstrap problem.

I think your proposed solution is even worse than the existing system. Right now no single corporation controls the internet and domain names (well, except for ICANN).

Because it's only loosely federated right now, different corporations have to work together to come up with and adhere to interoperability standards. Google may own Gmail, but they have to work with Apple and Microsoft and Protonmail and Mailchimp and everyone else to adhere to ensure their email is intercompatible. No one company can break email for everyone else.

If you transferred it to a single government, well, first of all, which one? If you gave it to the US, that means Trump and Musk could directly read and control everyone's emails, which most foreigners would not want, and half the US too. It would give them absolute power over world communications, like the RIAA censorship years but applied to all worldwide emails and communications.

If you gave it to a multinational entity like the United Nations, then it still becomes subservient to the Security Council countries, to the detriment of all the other countries of the world.

The relative decentralization combined with shared standards is what allows any country, company, org, or individual to join the network. It's a network of networks, and any one operator can only control the part of it assigned to them, not the whole thing. Your proposal would give one government, and by extension a tiny handful of individual corruptible humans, absolute power over the entire system. No government can be trusted with that much power.

The existing solution, paying $10 a year for a personal domain name, is both far less fragile and far less corruptible.
It would have been interesting if the article if the article gave prior concentrations as a baseline, such as when cattle died in WV from PFAS. Without a baseline it's hard to say. However, the levels being referenced in the calfs and the timing of the fish kills seems to indicate that a preponderance of the evidence supports the claims. In civil trials, it just has to be more likely than not.

This is contrary to my perception of current trends (and to a perhaps generous reading of Moravec's Paradox).

I googled the transportation privatization
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privatisation_of_British_Rail

So the UK rail network was privatized in the 1990s with tracks and stations remaining under government control and private companies bid for a 'franchise' running train services for whole regions. So basically franchises operate as regional monopolies and meaning passengers don't have any real choice of providers? The competition only existed briefly during the initial bidding process which the gov decided on.

Very similar to Canada's telecom history where they are private corporations on paper but they are state sanctioned local monopolies/oligopolies in functional terms. Or our 'private' highway which was given a 99yr lease for a low one-off payment that charges extremely high tolls https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontario_Highway_407

This is not a fair judgement in this situation. I think money is a far more perverse incentive for donating blood than snacks. Also the snacks are more about helping people increase their blood sugar after giving blood than incentivizing them.
It all depends on what you ask the factory to do.

This project seems to take its heating elements, clockwork timer and knob from a classic Dualit 2 Slice toaster - so those parts are all available off-the-shelf.

Other than that, this design needs some laser cut and bent metal, and some wooden feet. If you're able to bend the metal yourself and find some off-the-shelf feet, you could probably get the flat sheets of stainless steel laser cut and shipped for less than $100.

On the other hand, if one wanted a factory to do more demanding production processes, with more worker time or more machine setup - you're right that it would cost a good deal more.

They appear to be launching each settings screen as a separate app and retaining it until Settings is quit. How many resources this requires, or how much this contributes to the lag, I don't know, but...

Open Activity Monitor, and type in System Settings into the search. Then open the Settings app and press the down arrow key through all of the menus. You'll notice that each one of them appears as their own line item in Activity Monitor until you quit Settings, and if you keep going up and down through the menus, it'll (probably) get slower and slower; it seems like there's a memory leak or something going on there, and my hunch is that each old settings menu was thinly wrapped in a SwiftUI view and gets launched as soon as you click its nav item.

I didn’t interpret it as a break in compatibility, more so that simply because a new feature or addition in CSS arises it doesn’t stipulate that you have to adopt it. You can still continue on writing CSS how you want to. I appreciate that it makes it more difficult when new features come about in a language and you have to work on a shared codebase, you sometimes spend a while looking at many differing ways to achieve the same result.

Of course, everyone has their price, but in general, do you currently run a business that you have no exit plan for and would not sell unless the price was exorbitant?

I found an 1969 ad for a kitchenaid mixer. It's cost $125 in 1969 dollars. That's over $1000 in todays dollars. You're comparing a mixer that costs half as much. And, believe me, fixing the skimp issues that kitchenaid introduced to give the execs a bigger bonus can be fixed for a lot less than $500.

Furthermore, you probably can buy a mixer for $1000 that has a similar chance of surviving 60 years for $1000.

That's why I specified mass market. However, given a choice between literally being on the street and working with a record label I'd probably choose the label, though I don't know about others.

> pay them for the right to reproduce

My point is learning patterns/styles does not equate to reproducing their recordings. If someone wants to listen to "Hey Jude" they cannot do so with our model, they must go to Spotify. There are cases where models from our competitors were trained for too long on too small a dataset and were able to recite songs, but that's a bug they admit is wrong and are fighting against, not a feature.

> in most cases it wasn't theirs to begin with

In most cases they did not invent the chord progression they're using or instruments they're playing or style they're using or even the lyrical themes they're singing. All are based on what came before and the musicians that come after them are able to use any new knowledge they contribute freely. It's all a fork of a fork of a fork of a fork, and if everyone along the line decided they were entitled to a cut we'd have disaster.

Husqvarna can be either a motorsports marquee or mowers and chainsaws. Each descends from a gun company, hence the barrel-and-sights logo.

Piaggio is both aerospace and motorbikes - each having descended from a common corporate ancestor.

Philips can be two different brands of smartbulbs. They spun off the original as Hue, and then developed another line more recently.

I'm sure there are American examples too, if you look at century+ old conglomerates like GE or Boeing. NBC (formerly of GE) is about to be its own example, when CNBC and MSNBC get spun off.

That would be surprising. Where do you get that? I don't mean toy OSes or experiments. Linux, MacOS and Windows are still in development and I can't imagine the number of hours invested.

Where can I find out about that? Thanks.
It's an interesting performance comparison, the R4200 is well under half the size and actually has a higher IPC than the R4400 on integer code... when it hits the L1 cache (and both have 16KB L1i caches).

The early R4400s and R4200 where on the same node (I don't have 0.6 μm die area for the 4400, but the 0.3 μm R4400 was 132 mm² and the 0.35 μm R4300 was 45mm²)

But the R4400 could hit much higher clock speeds, it had an eight stage pipeline, took three cycles to take any branch (the delay slot, then two flushed instructions), and the 64-bit shifter took 2 cycles. The R4200 was designed for much lower clock speeds, it's more or less a 5 stage "classic RISC" pipeline. Branches take 1 cycle (the delay slot) and 64 bit shifts happen in 1 cycle.

The other problem is when it doesn't hit cache. The R4400 had an on-chip controller and on-chip tags for an external 1MB secondary cache (aka, L2), while the R4200 only had half the data cache (8KB vs 16KB) and no support at all for a secondary cache (not enough space for the IO pins). AFAIK, it doesn't even broadcast cache flushes on the bus, so attempting to bolt an external cache controller would be problematic.

(Cache misses on are especially painful on the N64, because the R4300 uses a cut-down 32-bit bus, and there is a lot of latency and bus contention going to main memory)

And to kill your dreams of putting four of them in a single server, they removed all multi-processor support.

That last one feels semi-deliberate to me, like they didn't want their new low-power, low-cost laptop chip to compete with their more expensive chips. I don't think it would have taken that much effort to implement the full cache coherency protocol.

Because I do think the R4200 could have competed on certain memory bound workloads (at least in cost-per-performance metrics).
It's exhausting the number of conversations online that assume that everything in the government is nefarious, inefficient, and focused on steeling ur freedums. I have worked in private industry, I've worked in government, and I've worked in the murky world in between. By and large government employees and thoughtful, genuinely want to make things work, and are faithful stewards of the public good. They usually make less money than they could get in private industry, the job security is absolutely no longer there, and the benefits are getting worse and worse each year.

They're just people doing their best. Try to be a little less breathless with your rhetoric.

While still anecdotal, I'll give you two data points:

The trackpad on my Thinkpad E495 is hanging and has lost the ability to register clicks, and had been like that after only two years of use. I think the reason is that the whole construction with lots of space is collecting dust. You can use the physical buttons above the pad, and some people like this retro design even, but IMO it's just reducing space and adds a border and height distance for your finger to travel, so arguably outdated and objectively worse.

The Elan trackpad on my Thinkpad x13 gen 2 has been defective from the start and registers palm contact where there is none, with the effect that the touchpad stops responding like every 30s; this is a known defect.

For contributors to e-waste in terms of quantity of items, I'd assume somewhere in the top 10 you'd for sure find vape pens, cell phones, tablets, and all manner of computers.

By weight there is probably a lot of large appliances, since their PCBs and chips are so unreliable, usually only lasting a couple of years, and people feel like suckers spending the ~$500-700 of labor and parts (mostly labor) that every repair costs on these, both because they feel like 'this one must be an especially bad design, so maybe I should buy a new one / a different brand' and because it seems insane to spend like 70-100% of the purchase price on a repair. So the whole thing is chucked in the landfill. Of course, the replacement will be a P.O.S. too, but what choice do we have?
And that also raises a huge issue: The problem isn't just functional defects, but also design defects and regressions. The new Settings panel is pretty much universally hated, from all the feedback I've seen. Apple is spending time dicking around with things that already worked and that will not drive sales through changes... so WTF? This faffing points to a major priority-setting problem within the firm.

Look at the state of Xcode, a tool that's fundamental to the iPhone's appeal. Every developer knows that this thing needs a massive rewrite. The word is that nobody within Apple even understands it thoroughly anymore, so it's way past time to strap it on and build a modern tool from the ground up that's maintainable, instead of slapping band-aids on Project Builder indefinitely. Come on, Apple, you can afford to throw resources at this for a year and just get it DONE.

Meanwhile, Apple is letting open, "urgent" QA personnel requisitions sit unfilled for YEARS. We can all see the results.
It sounds like the hypervisor extensions are more like one-shot payloads, which probably have much less attack surface than normal kernel modules that are exposing new functionality to userspace.

My canary was the iOS 18 update on my iPhone SE 2nd generation.

In all my years of using iOS, i never had long pauses, but switching between safari and other apps i sometimes had pauses around 10 seconds. Maybe it is the SwiftUI change; i'm not sure.

I did upgrade to the SE v3 and haven't really seen many pauses. But i am not a power user by any means and was seeing the problem often, along with some other glitches.

Just to be clear: it wasn't like the applications were lagging, it was as if the entire OS was crawling.
> The story is that Carsten Bormann wanted to create an IETF standardized MP version, the creators asked him not to (after he acted in pretty bad faith), he forked off a version, added the aforementioned ill-advised tweaks, named it after himself, and submitted it anyway. All this design by committee stuff is mostly wrong--though IETF has modified it by committee since.

The IETF does not have a committee process. The CBOR RFC has 2 authors, Carsten Bormann and Paul Hoffman. Authors bring documents into the IETF, and the process is basically that everyone bashes¹ on it (the doc, not the people, please) until either there's a reasonable amount of agreement or they give up.

And everyone here means everyone. You could've sent a mail to the mailing list to bash on CBOR. Other MessagePack people could've sent a mail to the mailing list. You could've had comments relayed on the microphone for IETF meetings. Did that happen?

One of very few things that won't fly there is that standardization in general is bad, because the IETF doesn't believe that. But that's only the general argument — "standardizing this particular thing is bad" can and has gone through before. From some sibling comments I see this may have been a major point of contention, but I don't know it was the only one. *If* it is, it's in poor faith to drag this personal dispute into the discussion (I don't know what other disagreements and bad faith there were.)

¹ bashing here means pointing out flaws. It's up to the authors to make text changes to address them.
