You are thinking about the wrong order of magnitude. The sun emits ~3e26 J/s [1]. The internet claims hydrogen fusion generates between ~5-6.5e14 J/kg [2][3]. The internet claims there are ~5 trillion tons of known Hydrogen reserv

Please stop using intentionally falsified statistics by the manufacturer to push product. NHTSA has already stated that Tesla numbers do not even make basic attempts to make the numbers comparable. Tesla only counts crashes with pyrotechnic

Well the recent NHTSA report [1] shows Tesla intentionally falsified those statistics, so we can assume Tesla-derived statements are intentionally deceptive until proven otherwise. Tesla only counts pyrotechnic deployments for their own num

In 2022 the US had ~143 TWh of utility scale solar PV [1]. Utility scale solar PV had a nameplate capacity of ~71 GW [2]. So, the average US capacity factor for utility installations is ~0.25. Or, for simpler calculations, just multiply nam

The actual argument there is that most instructions with explicit, specified output registers have exactly one output register (which is mutated) where as most have multiple, non-mutated input registers. Of the instructions with multiple mu

That sounds positively dystopian. Is it really that hard to dump to private/non-vendor storage for local analysis using your own tools? I do not do cloud or web development, so this is just totally alien. I generate multi-gigabyte logs

That is why I mentioned post-filtering the recording as the alternative. Grab the full recording then filter to just the relevant results before inspection. For that matter, why are a few hundred spans a problem? Are the visualizers that po

Why would you disable instrumentation instead of just filtering the recorded log? That only makes sense if the instrumentation overhead itself is significant. But, for a efficient recording implementation that should only really start being

Agreed. It was unclear from your original post if you were talking about coarse-grained sandboxs or more fine-grained systems. To clarify, a system that defines coarse classes of sandboxs could declare a class of sandbox for non-networked a

It is not even that. All you need is the program to present a “understandable” manifest of its requirements and you can choose to accept or deny. Standardized sandboxs just facilitate ease of use and analysis, and enable application develop

The article says it will save a estimated 362 lives per year at a cost of 82$ per car or 354 M$/yr. The actuarial value of a human life is usually around 5 M$, so that is a societal ROI of 5 if we only count fatalitys.

It actually is if we did not need to consider historical baggage. Especially in programming where we already use in-band encoding like 0x to denote a hex string or 0b to denote a binary string. I like using 1{s}, e.g. 1x to denote a little-

Off-topic, but the bit numbering convention is deliciously confusing. Little-endian bytes (lowest byte is leftmost) and big-endian bits (bits contributing less numerical value are rightmost) are normal, but the bits are referenced/numb

That is 4,200-6,000 $/yr. In the US, a junior developer in a software company costs (all-inclusive, not just salary) around 150,000-200,000 $/yr. That is 2-4% of yearly cost on tooling. That is not very much. It might not be worth
