How is it different from CHERI?

>From what I have heard, all of these issues come back as soon as someone comes off the drug

Same as with drugs for hypertension, depression, hyperglycemia and many, many others. Not every drug is supposed to somehow permanently cure you.

The same could be said even for interventions like "don't eat surplus calories" and "life weights". Once you stop, you don't get the benefits and you'll regress.

"But you have to do it forever" shouldn't be a convincing dismissal after 10 seconds of thought.

By completely changing your lifestyle and retuning your habits your health isn't hinging on one single point of failure (a drug you need to take).

If I stop going to the gym for a couple of months, I'm probably not going to gain any weight because I still eat healthy and stay active.

We used to believe it was not possible to stop people from getting their funny movie clips from China.

The solution to that was a $10 per month subscription via Netflix and clips for free on YouTube. Meanwhile Ozempic is around $1,000 for a month's supply. That is a margin on par with illegal hard drugs, which already have a smuggling supply chain from China to North America (eg. Fentanyl and variants).

One works, the other doesn't.

Ivermectin did feasibly improve covid outcomes, but only in places where worms were common, which is not the US.

So it's true that people like the one you are responding to are ignorant and can't really understand nuance and that they are also wrong for their lack of trust in institutions, but institutions also failed to communicate to those ignorant people and that is a problem all of it's own.

Very fun science read that I hope humbles you a little:

32S didn't use menu scrolling though.

This page at least mentions a menu system:

Prime is a completely different product, because it's aimed at a completely different target group: students, not engineers.

Perhaps, but it doesn't mean that it's not the greatest for engineers, of does it? I've used a little bit of both and I don't see myself using anything but a prime nowadays. The new licensee (after HP completely dropped the calculators business 3 years ago or so) just put out a new os version, and there are hopes that another one soon brings up the CAS to a recent version of giac/xcas, which is completely unmatched in this field/market.

To be frank, I had the HP-48SX, donated it and have gone back to my trust HP-15C (or reissues). For anything more sophisticated, I use a CAS on a computer, like SymPy/Mathics or inside Jupyter.

In somewhat related news, HP is releasing reedition of HP-15C this summer.

Thank you for the news! I missed out last time the re-released it.

You can preorder now:

Update: I tried to order and failed. I’ll be watching for a US-based distributor though because I definitely want one.

In military/aerospace you're mostly paying for the paperwork, not anything physical.

This will also make a lot of difference once we can run lightweight, userspace kernels ("rump kernels").

> once we can run lightweight, userspace kernels ("rump kernels").

Er, didn't NetBSD accomplish that... like a decade ago, now? Or is FreeBSD looking into supporting rump kernels?

Yes, NetBSD did accomplish that, but I expect it to become more commonplace.

but question is, is this solution for people running software on other peoples computers ? or solution for running my own code on my own computer only ?

Does it matter? Running kernel pieces in userspace is useful in both directions (rather like docker), and in both cases we'd like it to run as quickly as possible.

For my particular case it's about something similar in purpose to sandboxing, but with providing the compartment (ie a process subtree) with an alternative kernel to talk to, to minimise the attack surface between that container and the host kernel.
