That's because companies want to keep making money by using data from users they would never give otherwise and by keeping control over the software people depend upon after it was clear that free software won on the users computers.

The most unreflected thing is that people now even use these technologies for their private projects. HTML must be further developed, or some alternative be designed.

Rather shocked that Amazon and the other cloud providers are not screaming harder at Intel. Maybe they are behind the scenes.

I believe the increase cost of I/O is going to hit Amazon and can not be passed to the customer as what you pay is contractual.

Then with computer instances the customer is paying more for ultimately the same amount of compute and that is a PR issue for Amazon and the other cloud providers.

Seems like Amazon would not be OK with that and will want to pass it to Intel somehow.

The OpenBSD developers are mad that Intel didn't inform them, or any of the other BSDs. Only Microsoft and Linux developers where included in the information that was under embargo. I don't think they're upset that Intel made a mistake, not more so that most others anyway.
Legally questionable projects. There's plenty of projects on github which can be used for nefarious purposes with disclaimers that it shouldn't be used as such.
We really need a definitive SCOTUS ruling that searches of electronic devices violate the Constitution but if course we will never get that far. The intent of border searches originally was to identify goods being brought into the country to avoid paying duties or fees or being brought in illegally. Searching an electronic device is more akin to demanding to see what words are on a piece of paper you have in your pocket. Obviously the reason to search electronic devices is for political purposes like finding terrorists or illegal porn which is not what the Constitution is talking about.
From my perspective: I've been singing Intel's praises for the last decade as they regularly (for my own tests/usage) beat out AMD in performance, clock for clock if not dollar for dollar.

With this recent news, I feel like part of the reason that Intel has been doing so well is that they have been _cheating_.
There is an assumption that most work environments are not like factories anymore.
I wonder how true is that, even in "modern" fields such as corporate software development or maybe accounting. It seems these are still overwhelmingly often series of short 2-3 hour tasks that depend on immediate input from others - for task definition, or details needed for implementation.

Also, as other comments mention, work is used for socializing. I know many people for whom work today is one of the major forms of social interaction. As a society, we just do not sit on benches in front of the houses, talking to neighbors as they pass by, anymore. That maybe for better of for worse, but it would be good to construct some alternatives, before we remove the synchronous workplace.
Really like to seem some benchmarks from different cloud providers before and after patches are applied to see if there is a material difference.

Formal verification of what?

You can only verify properties you've thought of, and no-one conceived of this particular 'feature' causing issues like this until now. So I don't think formal verification would have helped: if anyone was in a position to realise the issue was worth verifying, they'd have been able to raise it without formal verification too.

There's absolutely no way for you to verify that code submitted as a PR isn't stolen, anonymous or not. Even if I created an account with a legitimate identity and submitted a PR to your project which you accepted and then found out was stolen, what can you do about it? Slap on the wrist and move on.

I hate the idea of having an identity on github. I don't want to be contacted for support, and I don't want my email being harvested by spam bots and recruiting agencies (both of which has happened).

Granted, it's about the Bourne shell, but since Bash, Korn, and every standard UNIX shell is supposed to be compatible with it, it's well worth learning.

Ask HN: Non-disparagement clause a factor in choosing a company to work for?
When evaluating a potential employer, it seems like knowing if they use non-disparagement agreements might be helpful. I never thought much about it until the other day.

I recently asked a friend about applying to a company he used to work for and he said "Run away! Unless you are literally going to be out on the street..." He proceeded to tell me about managers publicly berating (yelling at) employees for mistakes, their high turnover rate, etc.

None of that showed up on Glass Door because employees had to sign a non-disparagement agreement in order to get their severance.

If a potential employer has a policy of bribing people not to tell anyone about the bad things they do, that seems like something I'd like to know about.
Yeah, they did exactly that. But it was too late. And we've really lost the battle when browser vendors (one of whom has vested interest in advertisements and tracking) overtook the HTML standard from W3C.

Almost all concerns in the paper are active research topics and do have certain solutions which do use some sort of deep learning approach. Depending on the viewpoint and interpretation, you could say that some of these approaches are hybrid solutions, but this is really just a matter of interpretation. No-one is really denying that the stated concerns are valid concerns. But also, no-one would say that the current knowledge gained from deep learning research will not be useful in the future. Of course, maybe for some aspects, you would need more radical new ideas, but I doubt that for future methods, nothing from the current methods will be used in some way.

E.g.:

3.1. Deep learning thus far is data hungry. First, you could argue that on a low-level, an animal/human gets quite a lot of visual and audio input, so it's data hungry as well. Then, you could argue that the evolution did already do some sort of pretraining/pre-wiring which helps, using million of years of data. Then, related to this is the topic of unsupervised learning and reinforcement learning. Then, dealing with the aspect of learning with small amounts of data, there are the active research topics of one-shot-learning, zero-shot-learning of few-shot-learning. Related is also meta-learning.

3.2. Deep learning thus far is shallow and has limited capacity for transfer. Transfer-learning, meta-learning and multi-task-learning are active research areas which deal with this.

3.3. Deep learning thus far has no natural way to deal with
hierarchical structure. There are various approaches also for this. This is also an active research area.

3.4. Deep learning thus far has struggled with open-ended inference. This is also an active research area.

3.5. Deep learning thus far is not sufficiently transparent. Also this is an active research area. And then, you could also argue that the biological brain also suffers at this.

3.6. Deep learning thus far has not been well integrated with prior knowledge. This is also an active research area.

> In the case of the Underground network, there are times on some lines where trains arrive more frequently than every two minutes (pretty much as often as they can, given that the trains have to maintain a safe distance between each other and spend some time on the platform) and yet they still are packed between 8am and 9am. Any incident, however small, like someone holding up the doors, can result in a knock-on effect, delaying the whole line massively.

It is not as though they have any choice in the matter. However, if you've ever worked a job with irregular weekends you'll know that one thing that stinks about it is you can rarely coordinate stuff with friends and family on your days off. Also hard to do stuff like attend church.

> They are benchmarks, just not microbenchmarks. Actual application performance is the gold standard for benchmarks.

This depends on your intended purpose of the benchmark. If you want to evaluate performance of a whole system, sure. But one often does benchmarks to find parts of the system that are critical to performance so that you can do further optimizations or do change in the software architecture to avoid these critical performance hotsports. For this case other benchmarks that allow an easy fine-grained interpretation of the data are surely better.

EDID is a little EEPROM inside virtually all modern monitors with a standardized format, which can be read over the display cable [1]. It essentially enables "plug and play" for monitors, as opposed to the bad old days when you needed either an .INF file to install in Windows or the supported sync ranges to type into your XFree86 configuration if you wanted anything above 640x480. It contains data like the vendor, model number, physical screen dimensions, and supported display modes. There is a field for a serial number; parent is proposing using this to identify individual monitors. However, errors in EDID are quite common, e.g. using incorrect units for the physical dimensions or leaving placeholder/OEM data for vendor and model number that don't match the finished product's advertised vendor or model number. I imagine there are a lot of monitors out there with bogus EDID serial numbers, since it isn't important for getting the display modes right.

The market is definitely wrong, but peeing against the wind sets you up for a really sad outcome if you're not pure in the Stallman-sense.
Very true. Considering the whole supply chain for accurate comparison is complicated. Although I think my main point still stands : from an environmental perspective it's rather ineffective to have an electric car in a place where electricity comes from fossil fuels.
Doesn't 5.1.2 mean that the device would be without network access throughout the search (regardless of what information is meant to be protected as stored remotely)?
Are you a US Citizen? Are you willing to temporarily (temporarily in this case is not implying a short duration, btw) lose your device? Are you able to waste time (as in hours or unlikely but possibly days) at CBP defending your rights without negative repercussions (as in missed flights, possibly missed work, missed family obligations, etc)?

If the answer is yes to all, then sure, politely refuse and stand your ground until you get your way. I try to make sure I can answer all yes when I travel, but the last one isn’t always possible.
Why not really? It doesn’t affect anyone currently alive and only helps promote better genes, which is what the human race is doing now anyway, but very inefficiently.

I’d like to see it happen. The only thing that gives me pause is what if we accidentally make humans with critical genetic flaws we did not see coming, or low genetic diversity.
So it seems developers are in fact responsible for dependencies that they use... Who would've thought...
The work day is mostly set by companies, not workers, and often the people owning the company aren't even showing up to the office, so why would they care about congestion? The fact that many software engineers can waltz in at 10:00 is a sign of the relatively strong market for their work; many workers do not enjoy flexible hours. This seems like a hole in your analysis (though also in the article).
Well, there is the ME for one, an omnipotent, mandatory backdoor. Then there are _many_ undocumented opcodes. What does 0f0d00 do? What 0f78c0? What dbe0? I can continue for a very long time. These are just some known unknowns. If you still need more reasons, they are uncooperative when it comes to certain other firmware blobs.

If you are open to arguments, there are many good reasons to take a negative stance towards Intel.

I haven't read the full article but my immediate criticism is that systems need the spikes and peaks that synchrony provides. If they didn't exist we'd have to simulate them to keep systems from being overly fragile. Yes, there's a power spike when everyone goes to the fridge during a commercial, but the need to handle that variation makes systems more robust.
On the other hand, many commuter systems run at a much lower frequency outside of peak hours. It seems like having them running at the same frequency day-round would not necessarily be a win in the environmental impact department. If that is your concern trains should be as close to capacity as possible at all times.
That doesn't sound to you like they're just selling it on gdax?
