Isn't this a bit dated? I certainly agree that the shared memory semantics are a critical distinction, but in addition to the 256Kb per SM shared memory, NVIDIA Volta GPUs have 128kB L1$ per SM, and a unified 6MB L2$. I don't think these caches are entirely /not worth discussing/.
Interesting - thats different from the Strugatsky Roadside Picnic novel the Tarkovskys film is based on.

There it was a floting golden ball that would grant you a single wish.

The problem was that to get to it you had to pass via a phenomenon they called "the grinder". Anyone stepping inside it would be mutilated into pulp in short order, after which it will deactivate for long enought to let you reach the golden ball.

So the dilemma is different there - can you live with the fact that you need to take another uknowing human with you to feed to the grinder for you to have a wish, any wish, granted ?

(Well unless the wish could be "Give me unlimitted number of wishes." Then you can just "respawn" your victim without loosing the wish. ;-) )
Look at what's being used in production. Job sites are great for this. Europe seems ahead of the curve because they work shorter hours, so they can't just pick technologies willy nilly. They need something that is immediately effective and saves time. Germany especially, as they have the Rocket Internet culture where they have to execute fast.

I picked up things like Kotlin and MVVM from those, years before Google adopted them.
Not true; a substantial part of the Schrems II decision was about how the GDPR applies not only to law enforcement, but also national security surveillance. See eg ‘European Essential Guarantees.’
I had issues with frequent crashes due to various panics a while a go. It eventually went away after a version upgrade. But now reading this I don’t feel terribly confident in using minio long term.
> Uber's app is pretty awesome - but riders aren't going to pay a 30% premium to use it.

When the alternative is the traditional taxi experience? Hell yes I am going to pay a 30% premium to avoid that.
What do you mean by embedded?

My first thought was a closed hardware system with the software installed on it.
wow, the icons, window borders, shading, everything is crisp and just pops

maybe just me but i felt a lower cognitive load compared to big sur, and especially monterey where everything is super low contrast, large margins between items, and all the icons are hard to differentiate same-color outlines...

looks nice!
I read A Confederacy of Dunces every few years. It's a fun book.

I also love Earthly Powers by Anthony Burgess. Epic saga beautifully written.

Do minorities have the right to force the majority to listen? That is the abstract question this policy is dancing around. Or, do you let the minority talk to the minority…
No they don't. It's a popular view nowadays because people want to have egalitarian views on everything but someone who has played Bach for 20 years has a deeper understanding of (his) music than someone who listened for ten minutes and can pick up on things that someone else cannot.

E.F. Schumacher coined the term 'adaequatio' for this.

"What enables man to know anything at all about the world around him? … Nothing can be known without there being an appropriate “instrument” in the makeup of the knower. This is the Great Truth of “adaequatio” (adequateness), which defines knowledge as adaequatio rei et intellectus — the understanding of the knower must be adequate to the thing to be known.[...]

Beethoven’s musical abilities, even in deafness, were incomparably greater than mine, and the difference did not lie in the sense of hearing; it lay in the mind. Some people are incapable of grasping and appreciating a given piece of music, not because they are deaf but because of a lack of adaequatio in the mind. The music is grasped by intellectual powers which some people possess to such a degree that they can grasp, and retain in their memory, an entire symphony on one hearing or one reading of the score; while others are so weakly endowed that they cannot get it at all, no matter how often and how attentively they listen to it. For the former, the symphony is as real as it was for the composer; for the latter, there is no symphony: there is nothing but a succession of more or less agreeable but altogether meaningless noises. The former’s mind is adequate to the symphony; the latter’s mind is inadequate, and thus incapable of recognizing the existence of the symphony.[...]

For every one of us only those facts and phenomena “exist” for which we posses adaequatio, and as we are not entitled to assume that we are necessarily adequate to everything, at all times, and in whatever condition we may find ourselves, so we are not entitled to insist that something inaccessible to us has no existence at all and is nothing but a phantom of other people’s imaginations."

It's absolutely childish to even for a minute assume that my perception and understanding of chess is "equally correct" as Magnus Carlsen's. He sees complexity and depth in the game that I cannot, because I do not have the capacity for it, learned or otherwise. And the consequences of not recognizing this, are equally dire, again Schumacher:

"When the level of the knower is not adequate to the level (or grade of significance) of the object of knowledge, the result is not factual error but something much more serious: an inadequate and impoverished view of reality."
Those were issues snap had though, I'm not aware of flatpak having those problems.
(((Nobody should have their finger on the trigger unless they want to thing at the other end of the barrel dead.)))

Isn't VR extremely latency sensitive? I remember reading Carmack's blog posts about needing to reduce input and screen lag even on local machines to make it bearable. It just seems to me like the least likely place for streaming to actually work.
I’m skeptical that all planning is necessarily doomed to fail. Towns already do a considerable amount of planning via their zoning rules, and subdivisions are planned as well. The example here just seems like a subdivision, but planned for walkability rather requiring you to drive. Where did the place you lived in go wrong?
Github repo with data that was provided to researchers (looks like garbage to me): https://github.com/robertdavidgraham/cybersymposium
According to the Bible, Christians started using the word Christian to describe themselves while the Apostles were alive (Acts 11:26). Prior to this they generally would refer to themselves as followers of The Way. The idea that they didn't think of themselves as Christian is incorrect.
If you choose to believe conspiracy theories instead of the truth, there really isn't much to discuss.

Apple has merely developed a way to scan the contents of their cloud in a way that keeps the data about false positives off their servers until they are reasonably sure there is an issue. (Multiple images must match known examples of kiddie porn before a human review is triggered)

Scanning on the server itself is way less private.
Generally speaking, I agree, but for three example locations that were given in the article, that's not the case. Google's offices tend to be in major cities, especially more liberal ones, and those often have good public transit. Both Seattle and NYC have more people who commute to the city center via public transit than by car; I'm not sure about the numbers for SF.

I agree 100% that 2 hour commutes are crappy, but a 2-hour commute on a nice form of public transit is very different than 2 hours of being stuck in traffic and stressed out.
> How do you then explain that's what Firefox has done all the way up until now?

Google is historically the largest financial contributor to Mozilla (paying for spot as default search engine) and thus has always had leverage on what they do with FF.

There were a few years there where Moz flexed on google by making Yahoo the default, but then switched back to Google last year. My guess is they had to show google they were willing to go elsewhere in order to regain some of their autonomy, which is why it's only in the last couple of years that FF has been willing to add default customer privacy features despite directly hurting FB/Google's ability to track users.

If you as a consumer and

- spend 100 bucks on a specific router

- have a static IP

- put your router web ui on the Internet

then yeah, you are definitely the type who should be also able to put a VPN to properly manage it. I don't really get your defense of this practice. It is bad and risky, and there are no good reasons to expect it to be a sane config for a router.
I used to live in a tiny town with a huge pile of tires out in a lot next to the airstrip.

It caught fire and burned all month. They couldn't extinguish the flames, and we lived with heavy black smoke asphalt air for weeks.

You could pile dirt on it until the fire ran out of oxygen, if we had autonomous earth moving equipment that could take the intense heat.

Or you might try to shock it to smother it, but at scale that would have to be an air-fuel blast that would have wiped out the whole village.

The town was especially good at blowing stuff up.

I agree the premium Uber services will always be in demand in every big city. UberX is their loss leader to entice customers, and generate nice growth numbers.
I don't think it's fair to hold anyone to thoughts or idea they had. one can assume an opinion, evolve and present a different opinion after a while, that's why we live and look up for new experiences.

I don't agree with today's apple shift on encryption and disregard of privacy but we should also make sure not to hide the huge problematic that global interconnected networks have right now on vulnerable people, their lives and the lives of the ones around them.

be on guard against threat to privacy is important but maybe we should focus on finding solution for these problems too

I was never a vine user, but did it show videos based on what you liked previously? That's what TikTok does rather well so it zeroes in on what you like and feeds you more of that.
One question I have is, what is Uber doing with all their engineers? Most of us are engineers as well. So we all understand maintenance, monitoring, feature development, tech debt etc. Technology products rarely can just be 'let alone' and left operating successfully.

But they have over 2,000 engineers. That's a massive amount. Are there new features in development? New services? New capabilities?

From a consumer perspective I haven't see anything new in a while. Are they all focused on growth in new cities, towns, and countries supporting local peculiarities? Is Uber going through a rewrite to align on a technology stack to support future features? What are those features?

My old job was building out a (new) streaming service, so it was all about feature development, launching in new countries, supporting local payment methods etc.

Now I work on building APIs for a different company with which other developers can integrate.

Both are focused on building and maintaining new and existing features as well as growth. Just what the heck is Uber doing with its 2,000 engineers?
I'm working on something similar, which will be called CloudGamepad. The trick to getting good quality and low latency is forward error correction and UDP. UDP will arrive quickly but is lossy. And the FEC allows you to recover a certain percentage of lost packages.
100M USDT yeah, USD who knows? It's 85% of trading volume. Check out the plot on Coinlib. [1]

Today's USD trading volume was $193M while USDT was $5.2B. USD trading volume is a rounding error against USDT volume.

100M USD is more than 1/2 of the entire day's trading volume of BTC against real dollars.

My understanding is the CFTC doesn't take Tethers.

[1] https://coinlib.io/coin/BTC/Bitcoin
You can see $100m volume in a single timeframe. That’s different than dropping $100m. There isn’t $100m of net selling in those candles (at least the ones that don’t rip through thousands of dollars in testing liquidity)
I've been using Coub since before TikTok was around for feel-good content.
No, but (at least in my country) most banks have used the PSD2 directive as a way to phase out HW tokens and force their proprietary apps to customers. But PSD2 does not really say this is required to comply.

The only alternative they offer is SMS-based 2FA which, unsurprisingly, often has an additional cost.
100% correct. I tested both options.
Fingerprinting is not just JS. Fingerprinting is possible just using CSS rules alone.

The bigger issue, which seems to be what you are complaining about seems to be the gaping hole in privacy provided by 3rd party storage/resources. That is not a particular problem with SPAs, and can even be exploited without JavaScript.

I'm not sure where you're coming from regarding Google and web analytics. When 3rd party storage is gone (or partitioned) it sounds like everyone would be on the same page in terms of what data they can collect.
High school age is generally 14 to 18. And I wouldn't be so confident adults in unchecked power are better then high schoolers on morality and decency.
Don't know why Unity is pursuing cloud, you're still going to need a good network speed. They'd be better served investing further in WebGL support, specifically in reducing the file binary size so we can have lightning fast load times for console-quality games running at near native performance in the browser.

Shameless plug, my startup is working on exactly this at the moment but for Unreal Engine 4, but we have plans to bring this tooling to Unity as well. The web has the opportunity to become the #1 distribution platform of choice for real time 3D developers, and it's the path to the decentralized metaverse.

I rarely use my GDrive but today I had to download an image sent from my phone and wasn't allowed because third party cookies were disabled. It seems like they've added a new dark pattern to force 3PC on but nobody's been complaining about it. It seems absolutely ridiculous that a Google property depends on a separate domain for access. After enabling, there were network requests to googleusercontent.com which really has no reason to exist other than to serve as a wedge for the dark pattern.
UI Hall of Fame (1999)
The problem I consistently run into isn't the pixels on the screen being the wrong color or shape. Rather it's other things which are less obvious on my Mac-replacement platforms that make them so distracting and frustrating to use by comparison:

- Keyboard shortcuts.

- Drag-n-drop behavior.

- Menus and menu item organization.

- Application interoperability.

If I ever had the money to invest, I'd finance the making of a legitimate replacement for macOS out of KDE or something where the dulling the thousand paper cuts was the focus, not the landing page screenshots.

I know right? It is hard for me to repeat to be honest, because it sounds exactly like crazy Fox News fantasy. But, I have seen it with my own eyes. The phenomenon first came to my attention in the matter of "Kern County Citizens For Responsible Solar" versus First Solar's Willow Springs Project. The bogus citizens' group is a front organization for union labor who are trying to extract higher wages in project labor agreements. They file their objections on the draft environmental impact reports, which preserves their standing under CEQA to delay the project in the courts.

This site has an extensive archive of such DEIR comments and subsequent lawsuits for hundreds of projects around the state. It's just how labor negotiations are done in California, now. All the letters and motions are the same, all the front groups have the same name except with different cities or counties, and they are all drafted by the same law firm. A typical example is at [1].

(Note: what follows is a purely US viewpoint. I have no idea how these markets work in the rest of the world.)

Well, the thing about Taxi's was that they were available, at some times, in downtown business districts. If you wanted a taxi south of 70th St in Manhattan, congrats! If you wanted one in the Bronx you needed to get very lucky. If you wanted one in a typical suburb you had to call someone and talk on the phone to schedule a taxi to come get you with plenty of advance notice. It's something that was so inconvenient I only remember ever doing it to go to the airport. The number of taxis was such that in a busy central business district you had a pretty good chance of catching one (presuming you didn't look too 'scary') but pretty much anywhere else you would never see one.

Uber tried to change that fundamental fact of life by bringing many more drivers out there, so that it would never be more than a few minutes wait, even in the suburbs. This, of course, means much more competition for drivers. They tried to solve that by bringing many more riders out, which was where the massive subsidies come in: you can keep both sides of a two sided market coming out if they are getting big subsidies. It's when they tried to make the riders pay enough, and paid the drivers little enough, to be profitable that the drivers and riders stopped showing up. Presumably it will be profitable still in heavily trafficked areas, but the dream of Uber being a reasonable choice for transportation in suburbs of Des Moines seems like a failure.

There was OpenDoc on classic Mac OS, and I think maybe COM on the Microsoft side of the fence? Not as well versed on Windows stuff though so that may be a misread on my part.
I'd taken up biking during the pandemic, and for a while was doing a loop from south Tempe to Tempe Town Lake and back. In a 4 month period, I was almost run over twice biking through downtown Tempe. Both times from right turning drivers where I had to swerve out of the way before they finally noticed me.

Regardless of the infrastructure, which is just passable by US standards in the downtown area, people just are not expecting cyclists.

I wonder what percentage of people interpret it to mean one way vs. both ways.
The golden rule for CPU is Latency and Bandwidth for GPU. Which is why having higher L2 and L3 cache is much more important than say raw DRAM bandwidth. The extra bandwidth on SoC / APU are mostly for GPU purposes.

And DDR5 / LPDDR5 seems to have enough head room for us for another 5 years. So we seem to be doing fine ( For now )

> How do you then explain that's what Firefox has done all the way up until now?

The fact that for a long, long time the vast majority of Firefox's income has come from search engine partnerships, a category google dominates?

Also: Firefox has been rather poor about user privacy. Integrating third party stuff that's difficult to remove, like Pocket, for example.

There was the whole "Looking Glass" debacle where they dropped in a Mr. Robot promotional plugin into Firefox completely silently.

When someone posted in bugzilla about it, the project manager for the plugin made the thread employee-only. It was then changed back to public briefly, before disappearing for good, reportedly being locked so even employees can't see it:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1424977#c21

Ask yourself: "why is a bug files about a promotional plugin so secretive that not even employees can view it?"

BTW: Guess where that project manager used to work before she worked at Mozilla? Answer: an online advertising and analytics firm (according to her LinkedIn profile at the time.)
