I am curious about the transcendental instructions, how are they implemented, and used, and if actually used

I think there is a x64 patch you need to apply

Probably auto rejected by Claude screening agent. Nothing PERSONAL.

My laptop screamed after I played around in the redux demo. Must be something like infinite loop.

I meant the computed digits. Probably unlikely

Is it possible to find a certain encoded formula of PI inside the PI digits itself, given its length?

Isn't it the way perl scripts write their documentation? I don't know what makes it good for personal knowledge systems from reading the introduction

> I know several world class programmers, and interestingly, the commonality among them is that they all seem to use Vim as their code editor. Many people I know who think of themselves as world class programmers use Emacs.

Curious who and who?

Every android phone maker in China has to curate its own app store, not because it is fun, but google decided to play hard ball. Not saying it's google's fault.

With co-processors, he's saying.

At one point, I even went back to Win10. But it's become so bad. Now I find myself a happy mate desktop user.

Today you and me can debate what "conquer" means, but if policy makers follow his advice, this war won't happen at all. I think that's what really matters.

He predicted this crisis in 2014, and I think he has been quite consistent on saying Putin will act, just that Putin will not occupy Ukraine. Now there is the possibility of Russia taking the eastern part, but his main thesis is still valid: the west should leave Ukraine as a buffer state.

Wow, John Mearsheimer is now a Russian propagandist? You can disagree, but you may want to listen to one of your best thinkers in international politics.

While I am so frustrated that everyone is cheering on the powerless nation in a brutal fight they can't win, you just gave a most sensible solution that can spare us a total nuclear war.

I am not Russian. But this kind of blanket banning prompts me to migrate away as well.

If I am going to do this, I will at least go through all the heavily used domains, and address your notices to those pro-war website owners.

Isolation and hate will be the end of humanity. Love is our only hope.

Your local shop would be out of business here. The insane amount Apple asked for, ~$500, is indeed for a full top-case replacement, and they didn't mention any discount to me.

My MBPs usually have battery issues after 3 years of use, by then well beyond warranty period. They always charge for insane amount of money for replacing a battery, when I always turn to a third party repair shop for about 10% of the amount given by Apple geniuses.

Good until your Grandma calls you because some software require the admin password.

On a similar note, I turned away from MBP and use Ubuntu on T570. I do miss the aluminum build, but the modern linux desktop has improved so much in the last decade, that I don't miss the macos UI one bit. It feels good that the OS is not imposing itself between me and the hardware. For instance, you can't write x86 assembler 32bit in the intel mac machines, why? because apple decided for you.

I can't imagine going back to macos. To me the golden days is Mac OS X Lion, since then macos experience has been on a down hill path, trying to sell you their services, and I just tolerated until no longer can.

Is it possible to do this trick in a FPGA?

By your standard, then every non trivial app should be banned on mac, including safari.

> My understanding is that WebKit is the only rendering engine permitted on iOS as a security precaution, ostensibly taking Apple at face value and in good faith.

Look at mac. Do we have a problem with firefox on mac? Both mac and iOS share the same OS kernel. Using security as an excuse is laughable.

I once read on twitter from a mozilla dev saying they were even willing to build a browser engine without JIT just to satisfy the security requirement. But eventually they went with webkit to build Firefox for iOS.

On systems such as iOS which you don't have JIT, performance is going to be real bad, as if you are dancing with a pair of iron made shoes. Honestly Amazon should afford going full native, at least for the scene and animation stuff.

Off topic rant on the date "1-24-22": Please just use YYYY-mm-dd, for the sake of future generations so that they don't have to check if it's 2022 or 2122.

If my T410 didn’t have that crappy screen I would still be using it. Felt very solid compared to latest models.

How's the display going?

Thank you for sharing all these wonderful stuff.

Is there a specification of the Forth dialect used in NeWS? Why not use postscript for scripting too?

But a defrag FAT jumps much much less, because the cluster slots allocated to the same file will be close to each other, often in the same sector. I would be surprised if DOS doesn't optimize for this case.

Intel is heavily investing now, meaning less profits in the coming years. That may put off a lot of existing investors.
