unlike the old hpc, where we only burned hundreds of millions for machines that were 80% efficient to get a 5 year lead, we are burning hundreds of billions on machines that are 30% efficient to get a 1 year lead.

that solves the pollution problem, but it doesn't pin cache lines. it also doesn't cover the case that ppc does where you want to assert a line is valid without actually fetching.

thats a strange statement. its certainly not black and white, but the compiler has explicit lifetime information, while the cache infrastructure is using heuristics. I worked on a project which supported region tags in the cache for compiler-directed allocation and it showed some decent gains (in simulation).

I guess this is one place where it seems possible to allow for compiler annotations without disabling the default heuristics so you could maybe get the best of both.


its important to point out that its not about being a thorn in the government's side. you just have to not submit fully. in fact, even if everyone did submit completely, a fair number of people would still need to be rounded up and tortured just to keep the fear alive.

what do you use as a low-cost substrate? I think this would be something I'd be into, but the idea of buying 5lb bags to be delivered by UPS really kind of takes the magic out of it.

Coco coir is very cheap and is what I use. If you want more of a project, you can make the inoculation jars and sterilize the grain yourself. That way you’ll be taking a spore/liquid culture syringe from a tiny blob of mycelium to a whole network of fruiting bodies. Doing that will also be much cheaper in the long run if you stick with the hobby

Mycelium has been shown to colonize some of the most unexpected substrates - cigarette butts [1], sawdust, you name it.

The thing with microbes is not if they can grow in a place it's whether they can get there first.

Beer is basically knocking out natural bacteria and trying to get yeast growing before the bacteria can turn it into cleaning supplies. The alcohol is kind a there because it kills bacteria.

So for instance I put winecaps (Stropharia rugosannulata) into wood chips that had already been exposed to the elements for six months, and ended up with more than I could possibly eat.

Meanwhile oyster or shiitake mushrooms want a fresh log, cut with a sterilized blade, and cross your fingers and hope. I haven't even tried because I've watched people who know way more than me about mushrooms, fail.

I think I have some logs that might have lions mane in them, but they're fighting the turkey tail that was already in my local environment and also on the property of the person who donated the logs.


Certain species do better in different substrates, but for the ones I've grown coco coir (also suggested by holly01) works great. There are some additional bits you can add to improve results but it starts there. You can hydrate it with hot water in a 5 gallon bucket. There's lots of tutorials on YouTube.

Depends on the species. For something easy to grow like oyster mushrooms, straw. Do decontaminate the straw. Cooking water or hydraulic lime water should work for that.

Coffee grounds

I don't know how into building organizations you are, but 18f succeeded. they had a small footprint, and outsized impact, and really good relationships with the rest of the government. That kind of effectiveness is really difficult to grow in a massive bureaucracy. If your goal is efficiency you try to nurture that success.

throwing it away and starting over for purely political reasons is a completely negative outcome. the best you could hope for is to replicate what it was, but odds are against you.


if government agents can kill people on their own authority, without following due process, when they aren't threatening the safety of anyone, without any investigation, then all the other freedoms you supposedly have are useless. I would hardly call that a distraction from real issues.

She hit him with her SUV. She acted first. He was the authority, not Good. On whose authority? 80% of the electorate, that's who.

Defund the police is a loser latest craze issue engineered by scoundrels, no matter how you package it.


its not just the tweets. this administration came out of the gate swinging with its extortionate demands. it claims the power to redirect, cancel, and append conditions to congressional funding. its has as its disposal all of the departments who ostensibly exist to serve the populace, and use them to file lawsuits, charge people with crimes, remove or establish new regulations or targeted taxes, all in service of whatever the president might desire.

Again and again with the fascists, the accusation of weaponization of government was really a confession of their own crimes.

Same with the Epstein files, same with the accusations of groomer while their ranks are filled with rapists, same with the Jan 6 insurrection, and likely this fall, accusations of election fraud and intimidation.


these translate rotary motion into linear motion. if you hold the screw fixed (with bearings), and let the nut float, then turning the screw moves the nut back and forth along the screw


you could probably use the unexec tooling


I don't see how unexec would help with "decoupling the core from Emacs" since the core is written in Emacs Lisp.


you could make a standalone executable. I was assuming that people didn't want to start emacs to run it. if its just because...emacs is just morally offensive and one doesn't even want it running under the covers, I dont how to help you.


Emacs is needed because it provides Emacs Lisp.


If you used Emacs as a stand-alone game engine, at least it could make it claim it was "Reticulating Splines..." for a few minutes while it started up.

I kid, I kid! I love Emacs. I named my cat Emacs!
