In the 6502 and Z80, "opcode" refers to the actual machine instruction executed by the CPU, represented by mnemonics (e.g., LDA, STA). Each mnemonic can map to multiple opcode values due to different addressing modes.

The 6502 has 56 mnemonics, mapping to about 151 unique opcodes.

The Z80 has about 80 distinct mnemonics, mapping to about 158 base opcodes, with extended opcodes (via CB, ED, DD, FD prefixes) pushing the total to around 500.

Java bytecode opcodes are symbolic instructions for a virtual stack machine, about 200 in total with a 1:1 mapping from mnemonic to opcode, and just an "wide" extended prefix to extend operand sizes, designed for portability rather than direct hardware execution.

Starliner had issues, the backup plan was for them to join the crew and stay until "no earlier than February 2025" and be picked up by SpaceX on the crew rotation.

The early February SpaceX crew rotation has been pushed back by SpaceX to late March.

Wilmore and Williams flew Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft to the ISS last summer for an eight-day test mission that instead has lasted nearly a year because of problems with the craft’s propulsion system.

NASA in August, during Biden’s administration, deemed Starliner too risky to bring them back to Earth and tapped SpaceX to return them on a Crew Dragon spacecraft.

That craft is already docked with the space station, having flown there for NASA’s Crew-9 astronaut rotation mission in September with empty seats for Wilmore and Williams.

The astronauts’ original February departure date on Crew-9 was delayed to late March because SpaceX needed more time “to complete processing” of a new Crew Dragon capsule that will replace theirs for the Crew-10 mission, NASA said in December.

These are nuclear capable countries but actually fielding them requires strong political will and a supply chain that is untouchable to adversaries. Given the amount of sabotage the Chinese routinely do to Taiwanese, Japanese and Korean systems, I don't have much faith in that.

Small nuclear armed states will never have a credible deterrent because unfortunately due to their countries' small size they will always be at risk of a first strike. Chinese leaders believed they were in this position vis-a-vis the United States until about a decade and a half ago.

For example, we hear about North Korea a lot but they don't have a credible deterrent. Their stockpiles are easily destroyed in a surprise attack by a couple of JASSMs because they don't have the luxury of a large landmass like Russia and China to move their mobile launchers around.

I have already given you all that but you keep dodging instead single mindedly focusing on what is outside the scope of a meta studie of the entire field.

Trying to frame it like you disprove something when you truly don’t. You can go and read the individual studies it sources the statements from, which are then used to build those arguments arguments.

But I suppose that is too hard when you gotta find any possible straw to grasp instead of accepting reality.

Lets go back to the to studies you’ve decided to completely ignore. Likely because they answer your complaints and you haven’t found any nitpick to paint as the end of the world.

So again:

See the recent study on Denmark which found that nuclear power needs to come down 85% in cost to be competitive with renewables when looking into total system costs for a fully decarbonized grid, due to both options requiring flexibility to meet the grid load.

> Focusing on the case of Denmark, this article investigates a future fully sector-coupled energy system in a carbon-neutral society and compares the operation and costs of renewables and nuclear-based energy systems.

> The study finds that investments in flexibility in the electricity supply are needed in both systems due to the constant production pattern of nuclear and the variability of renewable energy sources.

> However, the scenario with high nuclear implementation is 1.2 billion EUR more expensive annually compared to a scenario only based on renewables, with all systems completely balancing supply and demand across all energy sectors in every hour.

> For nuclear power to be cost competitive with renewables an investment cost of 1.55 MEUR/MW must be achieved, which is substantially below any cost projection for nuclear power.

Or the same for Australia if you went a more sunny locale finding that renewables ends up with a grid costing less than half of "best case nth of a kind nuclear power":

Yes, it is all a meaningless cycle - companies worth hundreds of billions of dollars want to keep making more and more engaging content and make you spend as much time on them as possible and keep using their services forever.
At the same time, people who have busy careers and soul-sucking tech jobs at companies cannot or do not simply afford to spend so much time on these things.

If you're one of those - make your call. I decided to not touch any of these TV shows and fall into the web of content until I retire from the tech industry, which I assume will start in my 50's.

The threat model is completely different.

A big company tracking you generally does so in a fully algorithmic manner, with little to no human eyes on the actual data, and any individual's unauthorized access to such data is generally considered a Big Deal™ in these companies and grounds for instant termination.

Furthermore, these companies generally have good security controls that would be hard to subvert by a hostile attacker to release a malicious build or leak the collected data.

Finally there's also safety in numbers - you are statistically unlikely to be the "most interesting" person using a major company's software product such as Chrome, so even if someone managed to gain full unfettered access to the collected tracking data and/or is able to push a malicious update, it's very unlikely you will be the target.

A smaller project led by a lone developer or a small team of contributors lacks those various checks and balances, large security team, and the numbers of users, such that once breached you may very well be interesting enough for the attacker to actually take a personal look at.

Stop Writing Code for Humans: Agentic Coding Best Practices
Wireguard is not an alternative to Tailscale, any more than FTP is an alternative to Dropbox. And not just because Tailscale actually uses Wireguard under the hood. Also if your comment is a sarcastic callback to the "why don't you just use FTP" comments when Dropbox came out, well done.

Wireguard is a great VPN protocol, but what the basic protocol doesn't do is make it transparently easy to use in a wide variety of edge cases without having to reconfigure anything. If all I want is two devices to be able to talk to each other, at least one of which is in a fixed location where I have total control over the network, then yeah, raw Wireguard is probably a decent solution. If I want to do anything else, I need a management layer on top of Wireguard, and Tailscale is by far the best solution for that out there.

As a thought exercise, consider a home network where a laptop connects to a NAS to store media files. I take the laptop to some random destination and connect it to hotel WiFi, while someone else takes the NAS to a totally different hotel and connects it to the WiFi. With Tailscale, the laptop can immediately directly access the NAS without even having to change the mount point. Think about what it would take to set up similar functionality with raw Wireguard. I'm not saying this is a common scenario, or that you can't do the same thing manually. But the fact that such a setup would just work is pretty impressive.
It is a common misconception that children are universally disallowed in places that serve alcohol. If this were true then kids wouldn't be allowed in Applebees or at baseball games. "Minors aren't allowed in bars" is often a lie told by security or bartenders so that they don't have to worry about carding people that are already inside the establishment; this falsity has since worked its way into the zeitgeist as law. To be fair there _are_ places that have statutes that prohibit minors in bars that don't sell food specifically but it's typically on a jurisdiction (county or state) basis per their respective ABC boards. Every single time I was denied entry to a bar (typically music venues) under the age of 21 it was strictly based on feels - none of those places had such regulations. See also security denying "up and down" (vertical) licenses despite the birthday complying or denying passports or requiring ID for all people under a certain age... it's mostly about streamlining operations. The law generally prohibits serving those under 21 and makes no stipulations regarding how they identify themselves.

In this case, however, CA has a state-wide ABC that apparently _does_ make it illegal for minors to "enter and remain" in "bars and night clubs". The hotel would likely have a restaurant license though so the point is moot.

Partly because they document the doors which are there for LE : https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/law-enforcement-guidelin...

They also switched a few years back to provide signed firmwares rather than encrypted firmwares to ease independent verification, and have the Apple Security Research Device program to do runtime exploration with certain security walls turned off. (Supposedly creating these devices requires a partial factory retooling)

Apple also only has per-device global builds, rather than regional builds which might obscure requested features. My understanding is that they take transparency measures to make sure it can be detected if a firmware was released out-of-stream, and anonymity measures to prevent targeting a specific device with a custom firmware.

The Secure Enclave also requires the device passcode as part of an approval process for installing new device/enclave firmware; the underlying OS and security enclave are not meant to have the capability of being transparently updated/modified.
This sounds like circumventing home network security measures and therefore illegal.

I am not sure I agree with this argument. This gives a vibe of "make place for me, away with the old guard!"

What if someone called their program "vi" with the argument that noone uses vi anymore?

Besides, who decides what is niche and what isn't? Is a program like lynx which offers better accessibility features than mainstream browsers not worth distributing because it's niche?

Blaming the distros for already having software named like what you decide to call yours isn't terribly cooperative.

This take combined with the immediate cuts at the VA when DOGE opened up are reminiscent of when Trump publicly toyed with putting us all on antidepressants [1]. I'm curious when people who hold the opinions you do just pull the wool off and admit you'd prefer (or just be okay with) us drugged up or dead?

I'm with you on this. I don't even know how to have a conversation about ads with someone whose position is anything other than "fuck psychologically manipulating people into buying something they don't need and didn't want 2 minutes ago."

I block ads anywhere I can. I don't watch tv, listen to radio, watch youtube, etc. I basically don't see ads. And when I see or hear one out in the world, I immediately shift my focus elsewhere. It's automatic at this point, I hear or see the start of an ad and immediately dissociate or turn my attention elsewhere.

I'm not interested in splitting hairs over " acceptable" advertising, because that's an oxymoron to me.

I understand this is a hardline stance. But ads should really be annoying the shit out of all of us. People discussing the benefits of privacy encroachment for the sole purpose of "serving me better ads" are, in my opinion, missing the point. Or at least missing my point. I don't want ads, especially ones that are targeted based on data collected from me. These are the most likely to effectively sway me towards buying something.

If I want something, I'll go online and search for it and might decide to buy it. I don't need some marketing schmuck who spent their entire 8 hour day trying to build a perfect string of words and sound effects designed to trigger deep seated biological responses in me. If I want your product, I will find it.

Sorry for the rant.

If bitcoin becomes a world reserve currency like maxis think it will, then in a late-stage bitcoin scenario, the main chain would have such a high demand, and thus high enough fees, that it would serve more as a settlement layer where side-chains take up the majority of user activity, which collects enough in fees to push a transaction to the 'base' bitcoin chain, using the metadata to provide cryptographic proof of its activities (to avoid fraud), kind of like ETH l2's.

Nuclear power has famously had negative learning by doing throughout its entire life.

There was a first large scale attempt at scaling nuclear power culminating 40 years ago. Nuclear power peaked at ~20% of the global electricity mix in the 1990s. It was all negative learning by doing.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03014...

Then we tried again 20 years ago. There was a massive subsidy push. The end result was Virgil C. Summer, Vogtle, Olkiluoto and Flamanville. We needed the known quantity of nuclear power since no one believed renewables would cut it.

How many trillions in subsidies should we spend to try one more time? All the while the competition in renewables are already delivering beyond our wildest imaginations.

China is barely investing in nuclear power. At their current buildout which have been averaging 5 construction starts per year since 2020 they will at saturation reach 2-3% total nuclear power in their electricity mix.

China is all in on renewables [1]() and [2] storage.

That's a slippery slope argument. Gambling fundamentally differs from crimes like burglary or fraud — gambling is a consensual activity that can be regulated and taxed, while burglary and fraud inherently harm unwilling victims.

State lotteries don't represent "state-run crime" but rather transform existing underground markets into legal, regulated alternatives. Illegal gambling operations have long existed, typically run by criminal organizations offering no consumer protections or public benefits. State lotteries provide transparency and channel revenue toward public services instead of organized crime.

Following your reasoning would suggest that legalizing and regulating alcohol or cannabis equates to "state burglary" or "state fraud" — clearly an absurd comparison. The objective isn't to convert crimes into government enterprises, but to acknowledge when prohibition is ineffective and provide a safer, regulated alternative.
