I think if you just need to edit a config file once in a while, nano is great, but if you’re writing substantial amounts of code, you’ll find vim a lot more capable.

As long as you’re not a filthy emacs user, we can get along

Odds HW3 turns out to be any good?

Ahhh, that makes a lot more sense

I think in general I agree with you - but given that people have been eating very spicy things for a long time, even if there is some underlying condition triggered by eating spicy food, it must be vanishingly rare, and for some value of “extremely rare condition” we don’t (and arguably shouldn’t) restrict sales of products that might be detrimental for that condition.

My money is on the kid dying of some heart condition that would be triggered by any particularly big adrenaline spike, and that’s something that an effective medical system would test for early in life. A useful analogy here might be phenylketonuria and aspartame.

TSMC doesn’t actually make the chips, that would be EUV machines manufactured by ASML operated by employees of TSMC if you want to be pedantic.

Snapdragon 8+ gen 1 is built on TSMC 4nm as well, so that’s probably not the single factor.

Oh yeah - this is not to undermine Huawei’s achievement here which is absolutely incredible. I just think the choice of putting the A13 as the newest apple chip on a chart with modern chips is an interesting one

If it turns out that this person had a heart defect that was exacerbated by this chip, does that mean they should be pulled from the market? Seems like there’s a spectrum from roller coasters (exciting! The thrill could kill someone with a weak heart), peanuts (which can kill you based on a preexisting condition, but we’re not gonna ban) to something like high caffeine energy drinks (which should maybe be regulated but probably not banned outright due to health risks) to four loko (patently unsafe for most people when consumed as intended). Not exactly sure where super hot chips should fall on that spectrum; there are things that I enjoy that could kill me pretty easily (for instance: cycling) but I don’t think any society should necessarily ban.

Edit: this isn’t to say that I don’t think that pulling it from the market pending more information is in order; that’s definitely the right and moral choice.

That’s nuts how far ahead Apple is: these are all recent chips at the A13 came out in 2019

Kill a few cops in Minecraft

Actually now that I think about it that’s probably a pretty good rule. Should probably do the same thing for cars too - a fiat 500 maybe doesn’t need the same licensing and insurance as an F-450 dually hauling a 15,000 lb trailer

Well I’m not so I don’t know about these mopeds, but I would certainly not want to share space with them either on my bike. That’s also a lot more technical work than just clipping the speed sensor cable according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

the pressure to get useless cops to do their jobs, but that’s a solvable problem

I generally agree with you but this is uhhhh a big reach

I’m willing to flex the bounds of accessibility, and I’m far more in favor of e-bikes on roads, but I don’t want electric mopeds on my bike paths

Learning that Bush is a pretty good mountain biker and would drop his secret service agents in technical sections was the only part of the W Image Rehabilitation Tour that came even close to working on me.

1. these speed limits are easily circumvented and some bikes are designed to make that possible
2. the acceleration of an e-bike is way higher, which means that riders can get going at very high speeds in tight spaces where regular bikers couldn’t.

A better solution might be capping the power output of the rider and motor combined at something like 300W (ie a good sustained effort for a strong cyclist), and disabling power assist if the rider breaks that threshold.

I’m pretty strongly against motorized vehicles on bike paths unless necessitated for accessibility.

Sure, but how would you legislate “it has to look like a bike”? The UCI already has enough trouble with that

One the one hand, fuck the NYT’s smear campaign against e-bikes, but on the other hand, fuck e-bikes.

The ease of pedaling is great, they get people riding bikes, and the acceleration capacity feels a lot safer in stop and go traffic, which is nice. Obviously in the presence of cagers I will defend e-bikes, because they’re better than cars, but I have a lot of issues with them if I’m talking with other cyclists. To do 20 on a real bike, you’re at least going to have the experience to to handle the bike at those speeds. Additionally, a road bike takes some space to get up to 20- you won’t be doing that on a sidewalk or an urban bike lane, which I have seen with e-bikes.

Look up something like a Sur Ron and tell me you’d want to share a bike path (or god forbid a MUP) with a 12 year old on that 50 kilo electric motorcycle. They’re heavier, less maneuverable, and objectively more dangerous than a real bike.

I mean there are a lot of e-bikes floating around where they’re capped at 20, but there’s a conspicuous little cable that you better not clip, even though people tell you to, because that would disable the speed limiter. It’s not exactly like people are installing custom hardware to overclock their e-bikes

Not to shill for the military here, but part of what happened in MC02 was that the guy playing the red force basically exploited quirks of the simulation, like small civilian airplanes carrying anti-ship missiles and motorcycle messengers arriving at their destinations immediately and without fail…

But the fact that this was even an issue means that the war games are pretty useless and a waste of resources
