There was recently[1] some talk about how the 13th/14th gen mobile chips also had similar issues, though Intel insisted it's something else.

Will be interesting to see how that pans out.

For server CPUs there's not a similar problem or they realize server purchasers may be less willing to tolerate it? I'm not all that thrilled with the prospect of buying Intels especially when wondering about waiting to 5 year out replacement compared to a few generations ago, but AMD server choices can be a bit limited and I'm not really sure how to evaluate if there may be increasing surprises more across the board.

People don't really like that kind of world that much. See Oceangate as an example.

It was really a bit fortunate that the employee pilot quit.. As much of a mess as it was, it was a fair trolley problem trade, and if the owner/engineer who ignored expert opinion was not among the victims there would have been a lot more social friction over the matter of manslaughter, surviving to reframe a misfortune, etc.

Us, if we are smart.

The things I linked to are ideas. Others will have ideas too. Let's come to a consensus about them.

tardy_one · 2 years ago

Requiring crowdstrike or similar to be able to do business isn't a requirement from government, it is from exactly this industry consensus where business, insurance, etc, gets consulting advice on what best practices exist and should be required.

We have to do precisely what we've done because it isn't working?

Isn't this a prime example of how protectionism of nascent industries makes sense?

Convolt seems to indicate they would have been able to deliver on time if panel sales hadn't plunged 50%. Wouldn't heavy tarrifs on Chinese panels make a lot of sense here then?

I understand we need expansive solar yesterday, but that's even more of a reason to ensure we have the capacity to manufacture.

tardy_one · 2 years ago

Ah yes, signalling on what we would have done.. Well, I'd totally have delivered panels if Convolt and Chinese companies were banned a few years ago. Make the market exclusive to me and I'll look into what the profit will be if I start producing them. I'll also be sure to prevent the domestic installer industry from taking advantage of low prices, only a small number of authorized ones will pay enough kick backs to have any availability. But its not all economic loss, the repair industry will need to be a lot better with my exclusive US panels.

I don't see the point. Your work is going fine, so why not look for a hobby that you enjoy instead of making a burden out of finding a work related hobby? There are plenty of non coding things to do and their differences from your day job may bring new ideas and perspective.

I'm going to look seriously at Ladybird. I'm completely neutral about Servo. I don't care if the language a thing is written in is Rust or not.

tardy_one · 2 years ago

When ypu are talking web facing client full scale browser, C++ is impossible to secure as well as a safer language and most safer languages are impossible to optimize as well as C++. So rust is not so much exciting as not horrifying.

There are a lot of false and exaggerated claims in the world. Why are we bothering to spend so much time on this in court?

tardy_one · 2 years ago

A court that doesn't act on demonstrable perjury is just a stadium.

So this is a drug (not a vaccine) that stays active for 6 months.

How does that work? Does it just stay in body forever without being filtrred by liver or kidneys?

tardy_one · 2 years ago

Inserted under the skin, probably dissolves over a little more than six months.

After 30 years as a doctor surely he can do whatever he wants.

This quote was interesting:

> “This is the first time in 30 years I’ve had medical insurance, and it’s as a truck driver. They don’t give you medical insurance when you’re a doctor.”

He worked in NZ but drives trucks in Canada? So I guess the difference is the national health care system, right?

I feel like there’s a larger picture here that the article could address.

tardy_one · 2 years ago

He never left NZ, a patient offered him a similar job to the one he wanted in north America.
