What I think would be most interesting is whatever primitives are needed to build fancy cryptosystems which are resistant to EMI/DPA sidechannels.

Plain TLS stuff as the sibling comment suggests is entirely uninteresting to me-- a boring software implementation is more than fast enough even on a 100MHz device to accomplish whatever that 100MHz device is going to accomplish. (I assume bunnie's Betrusted soc will be faster than 100MHz too).

But what you can't do from general software is get something which is extremely robust against EMI and power sidechannels.

Similarly, while plain ECDH/etc. will be more than fast enough even in software for 99% of applications you'd want to run on a small device like this, various zero knoweldge proofs and other fancy constructions may still be painfully slow (as they're often noticably slow on desktops).

Unfortunately the ed25519 curve is probably not really the best choice there for a primitive to optimize due to the cofactor being an extraordinary nuisance for other applications outside of plain signatures and key agreement. ... but group choices for ZKPs are by-far not a settled question.
Is that device sold in the EU? What about GDPR?
Well, it seems to be a switch and private households are less likely to run a switch. But still some people might. So will the device still work after you ask them to delete your data?

For a company on the other hand you might want to have secure systems not connected to the Internet at any time.

I get the impression nvidia puts out a lot of their hardware supporting software themselves because they are hostile to open source community collaboration in general. This could be because nvidia is a big fan of vendor lock in.

> Also, what motivation does this other organization or company have to create software for our hardware?

Typically an organization like this would be a user of nvidia hardware, that's like asking what motivation Microsoft has for writing software/toolchains for Intel hardware. Maybe this attitude is why nvidia is notorious for having a terrible open source software experience for Linux graphics.

> Our hardware is useless without our software.

It's not(https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/) but nvidia is considered one of the worst hardware vendors when it comes to having proper open source driver/toolchain support. The situation used to be even worse but it's still not great now.

You may be aware but it's also important to note that everyone is trying to cheat these benchmarks so they don't mean much. The implementations aren't data driven and don't look much like how we'd write real world code. See the discussions here including the linked issues and PRs https://github.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark/issues/77...
I think it will be twofold.

On the one hand, there will be developers who use the most high level languages available and will do what you said: manage requirements, complexity and ambiguity while being able to find workarounds for the cases where performance would not be enough (there will always be these cases).

On the other hand, there will be people who specialize in building the foundations for the former developers. They will write high performant algorithms and datastructures and optimize code for devices where resources are scarce.

Real expertise and knowledge is gained by doing both. Just interacting with things gets you to a certain level, but if you want to go beyond that, you need to interface with the problem at an abstract level. Anyone with actual expertise in a complex, intellectual subject does both.

Mental models are extremely important, even if you already understand a subject well. Mental models, when they're good, tend to deal with the limits to knowledge, and reasoning in the absence of perfect information.

Experts often do these things implicitly in their field of expertise. Naming and abstracting these things allows people to see them as the general principles that they are, and apply them more readily in other domains.

The principal of self-determination gets tricky when you try to figure out how it applies in a given situation. The key sticking point - how do you group up the people for determining who the 'self' is for self determination.

We can all probably agree that a single person can't decide to secede and form their own one person nation. What about a 200 person village? A 100,000 person city? What about a 35 million population province?

Even if Transnistrians want to be an independent state, having the rest of Moldova overrule them does not mean they aren't having self-determination automatically.

The English were the poors of Europe at the time. They couldn't afford well funded settlement expeditions. Jamestown barely survived. The Pilgrims were basically shown the door and had no better options. Then everyone on the wrong side of the English civil war came over shortly thereafter.

It's not hostility, it's about agility. More so than other hardware vendors, we rely on really tight integration between hardware and software.

In some situations, we find a hardware bug that would require another manufacturer to do a "respin" (e.g. restart the manufacturing process with a new, fixed design). Because we have tight control over the software stack, we can workaround that bug. It's faster for us to do this when we have full control. Also, sometimes these bugs have security implications, etc.

That said, we've been moving in the direction of open source for a long time.

> It's not(https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/)

The other fellow was suggesting we should write no software at all. Nouveau's struggles is an excellent example of how difficult it is to write software for hardware without the engagement and interaction of the manufacturer of that hardware.

TL;DR you're talking about whether our software should open source versus closed source; the other fellow was suggesting we shouldn't have software at all.

Can anybody shed some light on the topic? I wouldn’t be surprised if this is enforceable in some jurisdictions and not in others.

Thank you for your helpful comment; in the spirit of reciprocity, by "their rightful clay," I _think_ you meant "their rightful soil" -- in which case, FYI, "soil" in particular is occasionally used to refer to "land" as in "native soil", ie "homeland". But "clay" doesn't work there, the idiom is strictly "soil".

I just read a recent biography of Dr. Benjamin Rush and it’s clear that even before the American revolution there were some strongly opposing views of how to treat native Americans and whether or not it was morally defensible to enslave Africans. So some who called themselves Christians would accept these practices and many others, like Rush, loudly opposed them (just like the disagreements that happen within groups today).
I think they're arguing about tone, not accuracy.
I wish it were (more) acceptable to use made up words, like medicine does. Once you know the base morphemes in greek/latin, it's really easy to decode medical jargon. You'd need to augment the list with a bunch of technical terms of course.

> The international-law disputes over who signed what treaty, 3 states ago, seem moot and trivial compared with the principle of self-determination.

Here lies the flaw in your thinking. An obvious issue is that Transnistrian secession would impinge on Moldovan sovereignty. This is similar to how Catalonia is not allowed to secede from Spain. Some counterexamples are Kosovo seceding from Serbia (supported by USA and UN because of Serbia's terrible international standing at that moment, specifically because of the ethnic cleansing employed by the Serbian government and army in the war) and Algeria seceding from France (which the French agreed to to end the Algerian War). So I think the reason for Transnistria not being recognized is that Moldova is in relatively good international standing (at least compared to Serbia around the time of the Kosovo War), thus no internationally recognized country wants to attack Moldova's sovereignty, for kind of the same reasons that most people try not to break any laws. (And those that would be willing to "break the law" presumably have nothing to gain from it.)

Also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-determination

> The principle does not state how the decision is to be made, nor what the outcome should be, whether it be independence, federation, protection, some form of autonomy or full assimilation. Neither does it state what the delimitation between peoples should be—nor what constitutes a people. There are conflicting definitions and legal criteria for determining which groups may legitimately claim the right to self-determination.
I don't think it's a great strategic move. It is the US government saying people can't use a tool that facilitates expression of our 1st amendment rights because of how the tool's owner uses & shares data.

Objections to how data is used can be solved by law, with needing to do it by fiat of the Executive Branch. If we don't like how data is going to be used, make laws the dictate the desired restrictions. Then use the rule of law, not the rule of man. Formal legal processes, not vague appeals to national security, would guide any determination on breaches of those laws & appropriate escalating penalties. It would also have the benefit of not escalating a user data issue into a major geo-political incident.
This is like the Christian version of tracing your lineage back to when your lineage was a liability. If you're Jewish or have ancestry in the Balkans the dead end when all the old records were burned might be far more recent. It just happens that the wars of the 1500s and 1600s was the last time being the wrong kind of Christian was a big problem.
I bought one of their 108 series managed switches, and "managed switch" always meant a management interface, vs an unmanaged switch. So there could be confusion.
This is actually slowing down some trials in the USA as they don't have enough non-white participants. I don't know if that's because they aren't trying hard enough or ethnic groups just don't trust the studies/corps running them. Probably a mix.

I’m 45. At 40 I wondered if I’d ever feel successful. I’d just been fired from a shit job that took advantage of me and once again I was trying to scramble to find meaningful employment. I found it a month later, and now retirement at 50 seems like a remote possibility if save aggressively and live a modest life.

Feeling hopeless at 40 sucked more than feeling hopeless at 20. Feeling hopeful at 45 is more amazing than feeling hopeful at 25. So I guess I appreciate the good and the bad more now than I used to.
I usually see swearing as a brain short circuit, and as a proxy for a lack of self-confidence or a proxy for violent frustration.

Before starting supplementation you should check with your doctor and he would have known from your last annual exam if your vitamin D was low. If you get plenty of sunlight then you most likely don't. If you're a vampire like me then you absolutely need supplementation (my doctor prescribed it about 5 years ago when I showed very low blood levels of vite D).
It's amazing how many parallels there are between the issues of 1620-1760 and the issues of the modern day (like 2020 modern, not just the current century). The issues have changed but humanity hasn't.

The thing that really hit home for me was the rhetoric they sued to go after Morton, Williams and the other RI guy who had no issue with the natives (the name escapes me). It's like a straight copypasta from today.
Because it is a story worth a book, if all the context is to be included. I only replied to say that such conficts are almost always more complex than they seem on surface.

A very abridged version is that Transnistria independence is a result of war between two factions, and neither of them hold the moral high ground. After the fall of USSR in 1991 Moldovan nationalism became stronger and pushed for pro-Moldavian and pro-Romanian views even in the regions of that were historically dominated by Russian and Ukrainian population.
Local population rebelled against that, and Russian state used this conflict to their advantage using 14th army, stationed there.

On a side note, Ukrainian and Russian nationalist volunteers also came to assistance of Transnistria against Moldova. Some of those people were fighting on the same side in 1992 only to be fighting against each other in 2014.

And here I stop. Because this scenario (ethnic minority region in a conflict with the rest of country) has happened multiple times in the history. Rarely one side is 100% right or wrong.
I was hoping from the title that it aims for postgres SQL compatibility, but I can't find it explicitly mentioned in the docs. This really makes me think I really want something like sqlite://memory which completely disregards speed or even persistence. Instead you could say for example "open an in-memory database that behaves like postgres 9" and run your tests against it. With typical fixtures of 10 or so rows, you wouldn't even need a query plans - just naive filte+copy over whole tables for most operations.

Currently I'm using https://pypi.org/project/testing.postgresql/ which spawns a temporary server per each test suite, which has quite a lot of overhead.

Just like the PinePhone, Librem etc. This is the future for hackable (hardware and software) mobile devices given how locked down the mainstream consumer manufacturers are, and getting worse by the day.

Mid-to-high 5-figure to low 7-figure unit sales (for a 'wildly' successful device like the Raspberry Pi) is what it seems to be looking like for a successful open mobile(-ish) device. As long as the businesses offering them are sized appropriately, it's doable. Just need to be smart about re-using enclosure designs etc and have long production runs to help amortize things like regulatory certifications etc. For hacker devices, they can sell this stuff for several years between major revs and their customers appreciate the longer product/parts availability.
