A veto-overriding supermajority of both houses of Congress (or a regular majority of each house plus the President's signature or acquiescence) has absolute authority to create statute law at the federal level, within the authority granted to it by the US Constitution; and this statute law can override any other type of federal, state, or local law except the federal Constitution itself.

No other authority has to approve before the change goes into effect, and the Supreme Court will go along with such changes even if they change court precedent unless the law violates the constitutional restrictions on Congress. Most proposed laws don't, including the one we're discussing here.

By contrast, for a federal constitutional amendment, even if every single US Senator and every single member of the House of Representatives votes yes (note that the President is not involved in this process), if the states take no action, no amendment happens.

Very different.

Major parts of the firmware were licensed, I assume for time-to-market reasons. Some of the license issues are also AFAIK due to how, somehow, we let entertainment industry strangle hold us - both ME and PSP now have code involved in setting up "protected av path" which is queried by streaming services et al - and if it's not found, you don't get to play 4k media (at least, afaik, with Netflix, it's 4k).

AMD could release a friendlier version but it would not be able to do what majoroty of the market expects it to do.

n.b. there are license-built cpus that have alternative firmware in PSP, but it's also closed and they are not really available on open market.

I am of the firm belief that it is government's job to reach out to the people it represents and not the other way around. Designating an official language or set of official languages renders a section of people as disadvantaged outcasts. It is not a crime to not know a language.

Even if we are not talking about impact to an individual from a liberal point of view, this official favoring of languages leads to extinction of smaller languages by means of them not being as useful to future generations as some other mainstream language.

That seems like extra work for very little benefit.

Like you say, this is already how filesystems are implemented with inodes and superblocks. But users don't care - all they need is a stream of bytes.

If you really needed something like this, you could implement it yourself "inside" one preallocated file.

Right, but it's not like nothing would grow on it if you took good Canadian topsoil into the tropics, is it? I assume that even if there is a substantial difference that renders soil that is conducive to plant growth in one climate less suitable for it in another, the correction of this difference should not take the same amount of time as it takes for the "correct topsoil for the climate" to form from nothing, and in fact probably should be much faster.
erm, try protonmail then?
You might be right. I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable about YouTube to argue whether or not Google's new censorship policies are quickly getting out of hand. But, someone like Tim Pool seems to be quite well informed on that subject, and he makes a compelling case.

AMD states that the PSP is "ARM TrustZone ... An Industry Standard Approach" right on their website: https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/security

Wrt renegotiating with ARM, there is no leverage for AMD. TrustZone is already baked into their chips for the next 2 to 3 years, and if the negotiations go badly then ARM could block AMD from selling any processors for at least a year.

AMD did hire a security consultant (due to the Change.org petition) that told them TrustZone was vulnerable, but this means they need to implement their own PSP which is something that will take 3 years or more (silicon has a very elongated development cycle).

Had AMD not been on death's doorstep for the years preceding the new Zen architecture, they likely would have built their own PSP. Being financially insolvent and desperate to meet the requirements of their OEM partners forced them to license a pre-built PSP.

Realistically, he's probably keeping a low profile because that's best for Amazon.

According to Bezos, Amazon is a means to an end, and that "end" is putting man in space.

If Bezos said something that spooked investors, that would be bad for Amazon, and what's bad for Amazon is bad for Bezos' long term goal:

Colonization of space.

Three week ago, Jeff Bezos said the following:

"But, Bezos said, if the Earth's population and energy consumption keeps expanding as it has, we will reach a point where every corner of the planet would need to be covered in solar panels to provide people with the quality of life the developed world has come to expect.
"We will run out of energy on Earth," he said. "This is just arithmetic, it's going to happen ... If we move out into the universe, for all practical purposes, we have unlimited resources."

I develop for both iOS and Android and since last year, I have completely stopped using ads in all my newer apps. I have switched to a freemium model. On my recent HACK app for HN client for example, I let you use all features and unlock features on a session basis. So lets say you switch on dark mode, I let you use it for the session until the app is either killed by iOS or restarted from the app switcher. Once restarted, you need to re-set the dark theme and I just show you a popup asking you to support development with a one time only small IAP. This freemium model has been working good.

On another of my apps, OLEDify I have used a tipping/donation model where I give all features for free complete and hope that you will tip me whatever money you like. This hasn't really gotten me much despite thousands of downloads and DAU but I just don't want to support the advertisement companies based on all the recent manipulative tactics they have been playing.

I used this to merchant in Falador! Such an awesome tool.
Right—the difference is that, with a file object, the extents are all assumed to be full to capacity except for the very last one, with the information on the virtual size within the last extent being held in the file's inode.

Whereas, with these vector-of-buffers objects, either each extent would need to reserve two bytes at the beginning to represent the virtual size of that extent, or the vector would be a vector of disk slices at byte granularity, rather than a vector of plain disk offsets at sector granularity.

I can see the arguments for both.

The former is extremely efficient, and would probably be the go-to for databases that want to be performant without needing to dedicate a raw block device to them.

The latter approach, though, you can implement entirely "on top of" the filesystem (in the same way that the ext3 journal, or APFS containers, are implemented "on top of" their filesystems.) You could have a regular file representing the storage reservation (in full extents) for the vector-object; and then the vector object could be a tree (or something else efficient to rewrite) of byte-granular slices of offsets into that backing storage-file, with logic to ensure that such a reserved slice never straddles two extents, and a cache in the entry for a pointer to the actual extent. These would be perfect for, say, generating archive files.

In fact, since these are such different use-cases, there's no reason to not just give users both.
Funny, I seem to recall all sorts of instances where the government has forced people and businesses to cater to those that they don't want to... Hell, Title IX is based on the premise of providing equal access by protected classes.

And for reference, political party is a protected class in DC, and that could extend to other areas. Politicians aren't allowed to block people on Twitter or Facebook, it's only a matter of time before the companies themselves aren't allowed to in many conditions.

There's also the concept of a public space in private ownership to consider. There's a big difference between your living room and a restaurant or park.

Seems to me that paranormal happenings and cryptozoology aren't conspiratorial, even if 99.99999% likely apocryphal.

No one is pushing an agenda regarding Bigfoot. It's just kinda cool and weird, but suffers from lack of credibility.

actual rate => graph

It does seem to be a pattern. I can think of a few reasons off the top of my head:

1. Incompetence - The engineers try to get it right, but fail due to skill, budget or time constraints.

2. Malice - This allows bad actors to compromise the PSP for evil

3. Benevolence - This allows hardware owners to alter the PSP for their own protection.

I think the smart money is on #1, but they're all interesting to think about.
The commonly accepted view right now is that there was an Aryan migration and not an invasion over the Indian subcontinent. But there are politically motivated narratives abound that are pushing this theory to either extremes (Aryan immigration theory vs Aryan == Dravidian theory). Please don't trigger a flame war. It is surprising as it is that this topic hasn't triggered one yet.
Hopefully with Apple making it harder to monetize via ads, it will be the topic.

AMD doesn't have the code nor the documentation from ARM to release a minimal PSP, and any attempt by them to do so will end with an injunction against AMD selling processors with TrustZone embedded, meaning they will have a yearlong gap before they can retool and start shipping any PSP-less processors (lead times on silicon changes are loooong).

Had AMD not been broke prior to the launch of Zen, they would have likely built their PSP in house, but they were so desperate to stay alive that they sold the 1st gen Zen CPU designs to a Chinese joint venture for $200 million (which kept AMD from bankruptcy).

“Productivity is the current foundation, but you can think having a Bloom open source tractor in some years”

Open source agriculture has so much potential for good. I’m surprised it isn’t more of a thing already
I thought his point in the blog was that it was indeed trivial to implement but when you think about all the consequences it becomes trickier to do it well.

He makes that point at the end.
The costs involved in the manufacture of a product at any single point in time are exactly what I can make assumptions about from the price of the product, nothing simplistic about it, given that prices are a result of the negotiation of a lot of details, including whether the optimal industrial input is some raw mass of coal that's burned in some managed way or Watt-seconds of directly supplied electricity. It's not going to be a perfect signal (demand matters, and any single estimated or registered price reflects a certain degree of imperfect judgment/optimization), but energy inputs are going to be a bounded factor.

If what you're saying is the actual energy expenditure may be what we're concerned about if we're speaking about environmental impacts and might be more properly modeled by something more complex, that's a worthwhile point. But it's going to be much less a matter of 1000J from a given mass of coal vs 1000 J of directly supplied electricity -- this factor will disappear behind whatever market allocations/optimizations are available -- and much more a matter of general industrial energy costs circa 1995 vs 2015, combined with the relative efficiency of manufacturing processes at both points in time.

What would we expect on those two fronts? Personally, I'd expect energy prices to rise with economic growth and occasionally fall with recessions, absent some large new source coming online or state-imposed costs for use. I'd also expect process efficiency to increase as well. Which would lead me to, again, see energy expended as reasonably estimated by some bounded factor of a final product price.
...dude. The point never had anything to do with being the modern “PA” you’re imagining. It’s a chat bot designed 30+ years. It’s a neat (and at the time, breakthrough) for having conversations. It’s not intended to go find information for you..
I find it mildly amusing that until advent of this cutting edge subgrid feature it wasn't possible to get simple "table-like" cards with matching "header - body - footer" of dynamic heights:

+---+ +---+ +---+
|1H | |4H | |7H |
| H | | | | |
+---+ +---+ +---+
|2B | |5B | |8B |
| | | B | | |
+---+ +---+ +---+
|3F | |6F | |9F |
| | | | | F |
+---+ +---+ +---+

To get this you had to either compromise semantics (use [1,4,7],[2,5,8],… table) or resort to JavaScript (read computed dimensions, find tallest and unify rest).

Graphic designers use this pattern very often. Finally coders will not have to worry about it anymore, soon. After 22 years of CSS.

In the abstract it makes sense:

- We've decided (in the US at least, but most everywhere short of a few communist or communist-adjacent countries) that the way we incentivize and reward drug researchers is by having them work for pharmaceutical companies that profit on the free market—and in particular that drugs are valuable to society and worth researching in proportion to how much profit they bring.

- If you don't know that a certain medical condition is a medical condition, you might not seek treatment for it, or you might not recognize it at all. In particular, rare diseases by their nature are those that many doctors don't know how to diagnose, and new treatments by their nature won't have been part of those doctors' curriculum.

- There are few means of reliably pushing information to the general public outside of advertising.

Therefore advertising "talk to your doctor about this condition" (and perhaps "whether certain drugs might be right for you") is both a rational / logical response within this framework and exactly what the framework wants you to do.

If we want to get rid of it, let's redesign the framework: reward drug researchers in some way other than profits, or find out how to inform either doctors or patients about new treatments in some other way.
It's unnecessary to create a filesystem-level support I think, since you could make a circular buffer holding a video stream in a file with some constant size that is approximately n hours of video. With some clever tricks you could even keep the format compatible with existing video container formats.

AWS Dev Tools builds the tools that we all use for software development and CI/CD ... at least some of them :-). I'm leading a team (CodeStar) of impassioned developers trying to re-invent how we create, release, and iterate on software quickly and safely.

We're looking for engineers to build this out! If you have experience with different languages (Python, Go, Java, Node, etc...), different platforms (Linux, iOS/Android, MacOS, Web Apps), different workflow tools (JIRA, Circle CI, Pivotal Tracker, etc...), different organizations (startups, enterprises, governments, universities), I'd like to hear from you.

I come from a startup background and the rest of the team has varied skills - you will learn ALOT here. I'm also interested in talking to Product Managers or UX people with a strong interest in tools for building and shipping software.

For that matter, byte-oriented persistent memory would allow something byte-oriented and not block-oriented.
Remember there's tools that can prove absence of or detect many classes of error in C with no runtime checks. RV-Match and Astree Analyzer come to mind. Plus all kinds of test generators and a verified compiler. Plus lots of open tooling to do same thing. Safety-critical vendors buy that kind of stuff more than most C shops. C subset with such tooling is safer and more correct than Rust.

The advantage of Ada and Rust is they're cheaper and faster to get safe code out of. Businesses will like that. I don't know how compiler qualification plays out these days.
https://man.openbsd.org/pledge.2 is also pretty damn cool.
