<p>I recently learned that you can also access the mac spotlight search index from your terminal using mdfind[1].
It's very nice to use when looking for misplaced pdfs.<p>[1]<a href="https://ss64.com/mac/mdfind.html" rel="nofollow">https://ss64.com/mac/mdfind.html</a></p>

<p>They are a non-profit foundation which can't be bought up, have been around since 1964, don't run ads in any way and buy every item they review in a retail setting.<p>It's a very nice set-up for high quality results and makes it hard for them to be corrupted.<p>The closest U.S. equivalent is probably consumer reports</p>

<p>I don't know about the trains but looking at shipping:<p>-Nordstream 2 has a capacity to transport 55 billion cubic meters per year[1]<p>-The biggest LNG transport ship "Mozah" built by Samsung Heavy Industries can transport a equivalent of ~162 million cubic meters in a single load<p>This leads to a ~339,5 full loads per year needed to replace the pipeline volume. Nordstream 2 probably wouldn't run at full capacity initially but even at 50% utilisation it would be nearly impossibe to replace it with shipping.<p>[1]<a href="https://www.gazprom.com/projects/nord-stream2/" rel="nofollow">https://www.gazprom.com/projects/nord-stream2/</a><p>[2]<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozah" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozah</a></p>

<p>They were founded to investigate currency fraud and forgery and even were under the Treasury Department until 2003. I'm think that this fits in as a modern continuation of that role as there are some fraudulent activities going on in the crypto space.</p>

<p>The Term gigafactory is doing the heavy lifting in this sentence.
There are a lot of smaller scale operations that do design, development and assembly in Europe like Varta Microbattery[1]. They provide a lot of the batteries used in the modern wireless earbuds like the airpods pro[2] and also some of the Samsung galaxy buds[3].<p>[1]<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VARTA" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VARTA</a><p>[2]<a href="https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/AirPods+Pro+Teardown/127551" rel="nofollow">https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/AirPods+Pro+Teardown/127551</a> look at step 8<p>[3]mentioned in the same article and step as the Airpods above</p>

<p>Have you looked into Montessori schools[1]?<p>I had the great pleasure of visiting a school based on that model and it allowed a lot of flexibility for students. In my instance there were 4+ hours of "Free-work" blocks everyday, where we could work on whatever we wanted, we just had to make sure we finished certain (personalised) workloads by the end of the week. Pacing and what we wanted to do with our time if we finished early was up to us as a student and we could work on more advanced topics. Students were also encouraged to ask older members of the mixed age class if we got stuck, which made most students quite good at explaining topics to each other while giving older or more advanced students something to do if they didn't want to advance further in their own studies.<p>[1]<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montessori_education" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montessori_education</a></p>

<p>>Moores law is ending for everyone, not just Intel.<p>I am by no means an "in the know" on Chip design and this whole bit is probably a fair bit of speculation, but I remember Jim Keller talking about the ending of Moores law on a podcast in February[1].
If I remember correctly his argument boiled down to the theory, that Moores law is in some sense a self fulfilling prophecy. You need to have every part of your company believing in it, or else the parts stop meshing into one another well. I.e. if a team doesn't believe that they will get reach a density/size improvement, that would allow them to use more transistors in their design they will need to cut down and adjust their plans to that new reality.
If this distrust in improvement spreads inside of a company, it would in turn lead to a steeper slowdown in overall improvement.<p>And while there may be an industry-wide slowdown at the current point in time, perhaps this dynamic is exacerbated at intel, causing them to loose their competitive edge over the past years.<p>[1]<a href="https://youtu.be/Nb2tebYAaOA?t=1805" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/Nb2tebYAaOA?t=1805</a> (Timestamped to the beginning of Topic of Moores law slowing down)</p>

<p>I think that the restriction to 32-bit apps is based on the fact, that only the patents covering the early iterations of x86 ISA have expired. Microsoft wouldn't want to be sued by Intel for infringing on later Tech (like x86-64), so emulation is still restricted to this subset.</p>
