C'est un peu short pour un produit Apple, mais pas non plus complètement prématuré.
Je sais que certains modèles ont eu des soucis de vieillissement prématuré des cables d'écrans, mais le prix de remplacement d'écran, c'est apple qui vous l'a donné après vérification du problème du coup ?
Au moins, le Neo est significativement plus réparable que ses prédécesseurs.

@npub16ys…sjae Here's my door today, after a colleague actually pestered me about adding the last few episodes ^^' (and I got her to do the printing and help moving everything up to make room for the new row)
So sounds like I know have to keep adding comics (and I'll have to find more wall or door space to invade if necessary).

Well, even with a proof that the unwrap can never fail, some changes elsewhere can invalidate the proof.

Modern CPUs are wider than that, Sklylake would probably decode something like 5 nops per cycle, and I think modern AMD and Apple Silicon get to 8-wide, which would decode 8 nops per cycle. And given nops usually don't consume actual units, it is likely going to be on that order of magnitude.
Now, obviously this also depends on the performance of the fetch / memory hierarchy, but that looks like highly prefetchable.

Well, if the target is Russia, this isn’t going to burn that much of the biggest cities. Retaliation would do much worse than that.
I don’t see a lot of other countries who might threaten France vital interests.
Perhaps a major disagreement with Brazil ?

Apparently it is meant to inflict damages comparable to France population and industry to the USSR. So world altering, but by itself unable to destroy everything.
Unfortunately using up these would likely result in a general nuclear war which would destroy everything, as soon as either Russia or the USA gets involved.

Consequently, France arsenal is hard capped at ~500 warheads, and it currently thought to be ~300 warheads. (Some margin for recycling, and for the futur, as losses do occur over time).

France is the one country that still has a nuclear arsenal but has to recycle its military grade fissile fuel, as it has dismantled the Marcoule installations producing military grade Pu 239, and the Pierrelatte military U 235 enrichment plant. https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usine_d%27enrichissement_militaire_de_Pierrelatte
(The last military grade generating reactor shut down in 2009).
Tritium is still being produced (given its short half life in the range of a decade), nowadays from a Civilian reactor.

Now a question for you (you can make it a poll)
Has any nuclear weapon country removed its ability to produce military grade material, and thus capped strictly its arsenal ?

Is there a platform where the amount of work to do for drivers is manageable for a from scratch linux replacement ? (And distro could then pick between the rinux or the linux kernel on that platform, and then extend the work to other modern platforms one at a time)
Or are there a lot of drivers that can be used on most platforms, and that would need to get RIIR before such a kernel could replace linux ?

2024-08-30 11:38:42 UTC

- reply

I feel the driver situation could still kill such an effort, unless you can get a lot of important players on board to develop the Rust drivers too.
I wonder what would happen, if instead Rust In Linux did a harder fork, and stopped playing LKML politics with their tree, and be able to pull drivers from mainline, while they rewrite various subsystems in Rust
