According to the researchers in the paper[0] this is not true.

>We have verified that we can leak information across arbitrary address spaces and privilege boundaries, even on recent Intel systems with the latest microcode updates and latest Linux kernel with all the Spectre, Meltdown, L1TF default mitigations up (KPTI, PTE inversion, etc.). In particular, the exploits we discuss below exemplify leaks in all the relevant cases of interest: process-to-process, kernel-to-userspace, guest-to-guest, and SGX-enclave-touserspace leaks. Not to mention that such attacks can be built even from a sandboxed environment such as JavaScript in the browser, where the attacker has limited capabilities compared to a native environment.

Every employer I've had has been _very_ happy with me. And the two companies which hired me not-full-time probably wouldn't have even interviewed me at all if I'd said I wanted a 4-day-workweek upfront.

So basically I am doing a disservice to employers if they filter me out prematurely because they don't know what I can do.

I _do_ make sure to ask about work/life balance early on, so as to prevent wasted time on both sides.

Very little of the cloud compute business actually involves compute.

Businesses move to the cloud for lower TCO compared to solutions they would have to hire entire teams of engineers to deploy and manage.

Something like AWS, the CPU cores account for a small percentage of the revenues they make.

The vast majority of their EC2 instance types have dedicated CPU cores. This may not necessarily mean that VMs are pinned to cores, but just that the overall compute power available is pretty tightly segmented.

But regardless, as a technical decision maker, I’ll move my organization to the cloud because of scalability, fault-tolerance, reliability & security - things that would be impossible or prohibitively expensive to do on-prem. CPU cores are rounding errors in comparison.
Yeah and they were useless because they didn't have GPU drivers. Now the situation has reversed and the Raspberry Pi is now the board that is most dependent on proprietary software.

Chernobyl is the worst possible example. The RMBK reactor is an irresponsible politically motivated design without containment and a highly positive void coefficient, meaning that runaway nuclear reaction is possible. The reactor that blew up also had a design fault (which was fixed), it is quite unstable at low capacity and there was also human error that triggered the accident.

I agree with everything you say, but security researchers will still prefer searching for new vulnerabilities in Intel (which is hard, I hope we agree on that) and verify they don't work on AMD, rather than the other way around.

In the website you'll read that "I" am "my" feelings and "my" feelings are "me". Basically it means the identity (or sense of self) is the same as feelings; they are one and the same thing. There is no separate "you" passively observing "your" feelings and doing so indicates a dissociative experience (which meditation takes to another level).

Yeah, that claim is wrong on a couple of levels. The requirement in at least three states for ID or a DL is that you provide an address you can receive mail at. It doesn't have to be where you live.

Also, even if you did have to provide your residence for your ID/DL, there's no law that says you have to get an ID/DL in the first place. Not having one will make life hard, but it isn't illegal.

Right now technology gives us all sorts of easy ways to be entertained. A lot of those forms of entertainment aren't long term psychologically sustainable (social media, binging streaming TV), but give a short term burst of entertainment/happiness.

Thawd makes getting up, leaving the house, and going out with other people, really easy.

It doesn't replace friendships, but if you and a friend want to go to an escape room, we can help you find another 2 people to fill out the reservation.

> I'd hate to see how you sabotage friendship so you can make money.

The plan is to make money from partner companies, such as the aforementioned escape room.

Lots of types of businesses lose money if there is a hole in their schedule. From that side of things, we fill those holes up. We also aim to help businesses run local community events on a short notice, as soon as a few days in advance.

Events with no money coming to us are the majority of what is on the platform, #1 goal is to help people have fun and socialize more, and the event suggestion algorithm is completely unbiased in what events it selects. (especially since we are pre-launch and don't have any partners!)

Technology can be used to help improve people's lives, it doesn't all have to be bad.

Yes long term we should get rid of it (for fusion), but in short term the priority is climate change. And nuclear fision is a tremendous asset for climate change. There are still huge challenge of course, and we are unfortunately not at all on course to tackle them, but depriving ourselves of nuclear is only going to make things worse.

You're right. There's no insurance in dentistry. Insurance is an actuarial risk analysis versus moral hazard. Everybody has car insurance but hopefully everybody pays a premium and never ever make a claim. Everybody too has fire insurance on their house.

But with dental insurance, you don't really have dental "insurance" when 100% of the people need a cleaning, exam, and X-rays each year. In practice, it's more akin to a Costco membership, where you pay a monthly premium in return for discounted services. A co-pay is almost always necessary for basic (filling)/major procedures (crown, root canal).

It's a huge pain point in dentistry, because insurance companies basically monopolize dentistry ($85 billion market), where the vast majority of patients pay money to the insurance companies, not directly to the dentists themselves. In effect, dentists are reduced to being employees/contractors of these so-called preferred plan organizations (PPOs).

But they have no choice, because if they don't "take" the insurance of any patient calling in, they lose that business forever -- the patient just goes to the next dentist who's "in network" and accepts their insurance.

So over time insurance commoditizes dentistry, patients have zero loyalty to their providers (they have loyalty to their insurance instead) and these PPOs have all the bargaining power to impose terms and provide lower and lower reimbursements to dentists, while their costs go up year after year.

My MVP strives to empower dentists to start taking back their business from insurance companies, to be their own "insurers." Start a competing in-house discount plan and keep those monthly retainers for themselves.
Man, I miss remote work so much. Those little things you describe, like being able to toss a load of laundry in the wash mid-day, really add up to a lot of sanity long term. Going into an office everyday makes my home life sometimes feel like it's just a bunch of prep-work accounting for the fact that I'll be going back into the office again the next day.
Luckily Tesla isn't very space or money limited with this pretty ciritcal component. An SD card would make life easier for everyone, as the logs could be easily read out and the booting OS changed - yay for actually owning the device you paid for. But wait: That's not something Tesla wants.

They have been replacing the whole media unit including the screen (and charging customers $2k-5k for the priv) where they could replace the processor module board (which is "just" a add-in board inside the media unit) keeping the rest of the media unit and lowering costs.

Sure refurbish the processor module and replace the eMMC at a proper rework station but replacing the whole media unit esp when the failed part is on a removable board just seems like a huge waste to me esp when the customer is footing the bill.
Only if you’re trying to keep some kind of aloof separation from the people you manage. There’s no reason a CEO can’t open up and be more inclusive. Things like asking for constructive criticism on your performance and then acting upon that will instill a level of trust that can then create a more open and inclusive working environment.

I’m not a CEO, but I am a CTO/founder and me and the CEO/founder are the de facto joint heads of the organisation.

I often say to my junior devs things like “don’t believe everything I say as gospel. There are lots of false prophets in our industry, so a healthy level of cinicism is good. If you think I’m wrong, don’t be afraid to say so”.

This creates a perceived flatter structure that becomes more collaborative, which leads to a more social work environment. I can only assume it would help for those lonely at-the-top.

The way I see management of people is this: trust your smart people to make good decisions, when there is disagreement or conflict the manager is there to be an arbiter and a guide toward the bigger vision of the organisation, not a dictator

The audience targeted with sites like that can hardly differentiate between ads and organic results and can certainly not tell that those are affiliate sites that provide little to no value.

They search, they click, they buy. I know, because I've worked for a site doing exactly that (not mentioned in the article), the metrics are great, Google does not care at all. And why would they - many of the companies doing this will also spend lots of money on Adwords for the same topics.

I would personally never do this. If you stay, it will be different. Everyone, especially your boss will think of you as someone who is about to leave. That's not a good thing.

It's ironic, because anyone could leave for a better job at any time. But actually going through the negotiation/threatening to leave makes it more real.

Maybe. But did the user of this have to deal with similar levels of noise and of density of people (never been to Burning Man btw)?

I think you’re looking at it the wrong way. YouTube is not preserving video game history by providing a place to host these videos. Instead, they’re offering an incentive for people to create these videos that are currently hosted on YouTube but will eventually be archived somewhere else.

In other words, YouTube is somewhat responsible for the creation of this new content, but has no expectation or responsibility to maintain its legacy.
> what avenues would advertisers have left to sell products to us?

Maybe pay me some money for my attention? In exchange you get all the data from me: how much money I spend on X. How often I do Y. Whatever helps you sell your product to me. If you succeed and I like your ad or buy your product, the ad is for free. Otherwise you pay me some €/$/coins.

"they'd typically be done in optional electives like a compilers course, or "theory of computation" course"

Okay, maybe it's because here in Germany, we have a separate line of eduction for "mere" programmers and system administrators as well as a separate branch of higher education for more "practical" skills. But if you study CS at an university, both of these course would be mandatory, together with a lot of math and some physics (to know what actually happens in a circuit).
In general, anything that is billed as a low-effort way to accomplish X that anybody can do is probably not very useful. You see this in health scams, financial scams, etc. It is likely the same way with the environment. We are now finding out that encouraging plastic recycling was probably environmentally worse that if people had been allowed to just throw it all away in a landfill.

Other well-intentioned efforts that resulted in bad outcomes:

Discouraging plastic bags -> Increased CO2 for cloth/paper bags
Banning DDT -> likely millions of deaths from malaria over the years
Opposition to nuclear -> more dependence on carbon heavy sources of energy (see Germany)
I have met a number of isolated, depressed people across various places of work in my career, and the single common signifier among them all was a slow-to-rapid decline in their quality of work and enthusiasm for the job.

I think the key is to make sure all leaks happen in the sphere of performance, not correctness. So you can use the abstraction on its own without fragility, and then you can learn more about it if you want to tighten up performance.

Certainly, some people act like they don't, at least in the context of specific benchmarks.

And some people outright claim the opposite of what you say everyone understands, e.g., by claiming that benchmarks inherently correlate with every possible use of a technology.

> and plenty of folks can still extract value out of a benchmark anyway.

Understanding both the general issue and, ideally, the specific areas of potential concern in relation to particular benchmarks and your intended use is a big part of being able to effectively extract value from a benchmark.and, yes, lots of people do recognize those facts and extract value from benchmarks.

Others don't, and still apply benchmarks in decision-making, but it's less clear that they are extracting value. Confusing the measurement most readily available with the measurement most relevant to need is a common problem (and not just with benchmarks.)
I didn't downvote you, but your post did annoy me. This is an interesting article about HTTP/2.

Yes, we know people should make smaller web pages with less javascript and ads, and we could all install a bunch of plugins to achieve that, but multiple replies like yours do seem to appear on every single post that has anything to do with network traffic, and don't really contribute (in my opinion) to the discussion at hand.
