> Why do people demand that Linux must work on all "not super-exotic" hardware in the world?

Why do Linux people come on threads like this and say that if you have problems, it must be because you have exotic hardware or that it's a really rare issue when it's dirt common?

Edit: I guess my point is, the Linux community's definition of "exotic hardware" is extremely broad in real life. It's almost like if Apple called PCs "exotic hardware" for MacOS.

Given the extensiveness of the English vocabulary and me not being a native speaker, I appreciate visual media only using 3-5 different words. But movies are completely different from dialects that you encounter in the wild. Classical British actors are far easier to understand than other English speaking ones in my opinion.

I think you're being downvoted for the tone of your post. It comes across as sneering and argumentative for no reason.
I know you didn't personally insult me here, but I hate this comment.

I'm a remote worker and I spend a large chunk of my time every week helping other team members. I'm very, very good at it.

From now on, I'm going to ask everyone about their attitude towards remote work during interviews, and I'll be a hard NO on anyone with the attitude displayed here.

You can have employees who hate remote or you can have remote employees. You can't have both.

I don’t see why offsets larger than 16-bit are important. Are you implying that most fusion candidate pairs would need this? In tight inner loops why would you need large offsets?

Of course you discard architectural state changes in fusion. If I have a bunch of instructions which end up reading from memory into register x10, then I can fuse with all previous instructions which wrote into x10, as their results get clobbered anyway.

Disclaimer: I may have misunderstood the point you made. However you don’t seem to make it clear how fusion is bad for performance.

What performance tricks are you giving up by doing fusion?
I first heard of ZKPs in the context of mathematical theorems rather than cryptographic protocols, probably sometime in the late '80s I think and probably from an article in the MAA's "Focus" magazine.

If I remember correctly the article said that it is possible for any given mathematical theorem and proof it is possible to produce a graph such that (1) the proof is correct if and only if the graph has a Hamiltonian circuit, and (2) you can show people the graph and prove to them that it is such a graph for that theorem.

The article then gave a ZKP scheme for showing that you know a Hamiltonian circuit on a given graph.

Putting it all together then someone who claimed to have a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis or Goldbach's Conjecture or any other famous unsolved mathematical problem could produce the corresponding graph, and produce a ZKP that they know a Hamiltonian circuit for that graph, and we'd have to accept that they have in fact solved the problem.

I wonder what would happen if someone actually did that for one of the Millennium Prize Problems [1] or some other high profile problem that has a substantial reward behind it? When offering prizes for proofs nowadays should you include a clause in the rules that states to win the prize you have to publish a conventional proof?

> I know it's awful and true, BUT, can you blame them?

Yes, I can.

Youtube knowingly traffics and sells stolen goods and services. Youtube's officers and directors know it. The key words there is knowingly. Arrest Youtube CEO as a head of a criminal enterprise. Bust her door pre-dawn and drag her out into the slammer. There's zero difference in how we should deal with Incs be that Mafia, Inc. or Youtube, Inc.

The mere prospect of that will quickly solve all the technical problems. It is all about motivation. Youtube's executives currently are not motivated to solve the problem. The government needs to provide the motivation.
Since this is in my opinion YT fault they should pay and then pursue the money from the scammers on their own. Hopefully YT won't wiggle their way out of this.

Just because it's hard doesn't mean they should get away with not doing it. Google 2020 revenues were 181 Billion, you can build a VERY big call centre with that.
I don't think capitalism is good, I just think the alternatives are worse.
I'm failing to understand your logic. Google could put a call center in every country to handle local user's requests could'nt they ?

Your ISP can afford to do so...

But yes, as they have a monopoly, they can afford not putting any call center anywhere.

It is important to remember that Hacker News and Phoronix and Linux kernel developers are within a communication bubble (like any forum).

It may be because, in practice, NVIDIA looks at the size of us all... and yawns because we're tiny and because most tech reviewers still recommend them and most gamers still buy them. And they have a point - AMD has better Linux support, but NVIDIA's got CUDA (which has basically killed OpenCL and AMD's ROCm is less than a proof of concept in quality), DLSS, Raytracing, much better video encoders, a bunch of stuff that people are willing to put up with subpar Linux for.

I have several objections.

USA lost this war. I don't think Germany and Japan kept a lot of allied war prisoners after the war ended.

The prisoners that were kept back then were enemy soldiers. Enemy combatants is recently made up term invented so that USA can pretend those pesky rules about treatment of enemy soldiers don't apply to them.

And since we are inventing words, isn't it reasonable to expect that combatant ceases to be a combatant when combat doesn't happen anymore?

You claim this and then link to a page explicitly labelled attestations - an attestation is not the same thing as an audit. None of the stablecoins have had an actual audit done AFAIK - Tether said they were going to do one, and then their accountant dropped them shortly afterwards.

No we can go deep but no where near unlimited zoom. Watch a video that shows a fractal zoom to say 10^20,000 and that feels like forever but it’s nothing next to 10^(10^20,000) let alone anything actually large.

Even seemingly simple problems run into surprising issues when you want arbitrary precision. What’s the one’s place digit of π^(π^(π^π)? I mean sure you could fake unlimited zoom by just picking arbitrary numbers like say 4, but that’s no longer zoom.
At scale you have more options. You can subcontract out your call center like all the big companies. These companies use these subcontracted callcenters like https://www.helpware.com/. They don't want to spend the money.
Once these organizations achieve "good enough to satisfy the overwhelming majority of regular people" results regular people have no reason to care further and the interest groups become staffed by extremists and promote extremism because those are the only people with desire to push further and the only people throwing money at the organization.

Who, exactly, are you trying to convince that what you're doing is OK?
I think most of this can be significantly reduced with mature development processes and discipline. A mature org almost never needs to SSH into a production instance in the first place—extensive debug information is available via logging and monitoring, and when a problem arises in production you try to replicate it in lower environments if necessary. This doesn’t always work and sometimes it would be faster to just SSH and call it a day, but in exchange for that convenience you get a bunch of nice properties. Moreover, you can always compile in the debugging utilities that you absolutely need (or even better—create network interfaces for them).

Yeah, well, not only HTTP*, but actually whitelisting whatever outgoing connection you may need. https://github.com/stripe/smokescreen

Suppose you configured your webserver to run with limited privileges so as if someone hacks it it has limited access. Suppose it still has access to DB and stuff. Well, filtering outgoing connections makes harder to exfiltrate the data OR hop to another hosts. And then you can monitor failed outgoing requests to be able to act/investigate when that happens.
If more people who got wronged like you did bought bulldozers fewer people would get wronged like you did. When there is no repercussions to the system (other than positive ones where you input money) the system has no reason to stop.
>Who is to say we are experiencing rich detail? How do we know we aren’t stuck? Stuck on the planet? Stuck in this universe? Stuck in our minds?

I largely agree with where you're at on this. What we experience as normal might be extremely low detail relative to some more detailed underlying reality.

However, the flip side is that we know quite clearly what it is for a world to be less detailed than our own. So it seems like there's room to go "further down".

I also don't necessarily think it's a decisive argument, but what's interesting to me is that argument in particular stresses detail, and what it has in common with this article leads to an implication that we're more likely to get "stuck" in a cognitive sense, so that there are shapes to our thinking that correspond to the level of detail we're able to experience.

My advice is to keep your parents moving for as long as possible.

Motivation and exercise is what keeps people alive and happy. I once knew a 92 year old who benched 140lbs and who’s grip was a vice. He worked out every day for ~2 hrs. Was one of the most impressive things I’ve seen.

All that said, perhaps ask them what they want? For instance, their motivation might not be meals or cleaning. Getting a maid or food service can lighten their load. Similarly, consider a cleaner for yourself! And give yourself more time to spend with them and your young family.

At the end of the day, they’re their individuals. I suspect they’ll have some thoughts. It’s honestly hard to watch sometimes, but all you can do is try to spend time and enjoy each other’s company.

Even if it was as simple as any physical system, it is still something one might not realize for never making the correct question.

Technically those two phrases mean the same, but people will draw very different conclusions from them.
While the 20ms latency on the Remarkable 2 is very impressive, let's please not say that users "cannot perceive the difference". At best the latency "does not bother" users. There are whole swaths of professions for which 20ms is a huge amount (professional gamers, musicians, etc), and even personally (And I generally view my lag perception as quite poor) the 20ms on the remarkable was noticeable enough that it did not feel as nice as having a good pen on paper.

It’s not that simple: YouTube has a huge natural lock-in because videos use lots of bandwidth and Google’s advertisers are willing to pay for that.

Peer to peer systems struggle to offer a competitive a competitive experience because few people are able/willing to volunteer significant bandwidth or take on the personal liability for serving content which is copyrighted or otherwise illegal. They’ll work okay for a hugely popular video but fall off the cliff for the long-tail of niche interests and there aren’t enough people who care about it enough to make “YouTube but slower and less reliable” work in general.
The goal is that there is a unified core that runs the majority code. The majority of ecosystem and tooling works of a common base. Lots of code can be used in a way to be very universal.

Some verticals that will be special like deep embedded will likely be different enough that it will be slightly different, but it still profits from all the work going into the overall ecosystem.

RISC-V allows 'the market' to decide between uniformity and specialty in a orthogonal way. My bet is that this will actually lead to a lot of uniformity in most verticals.

Understanding and respecting that (I made a similar case within the past day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29421420), there's still the rejoinder:

It could also be that the most probable simulated universe is one in which it is very hard to simulate other universes.

We do 2D simulations, games of life, etc. If our universe is simulated, why wouldn't the "parent" one be vastly more complex (more dimensions) and a much better place to run simulations?

It could be highly hyperdimensional and contain unimaginable levels of detail, even "time" in our universe could be a construct (or multidimensional) in the parent universe.

Selection can drive evolution, and in a vaccinated body there exist other selection pressures than in an unvaccinated body. Variants which may by chance be suited well to strive in a new environment need to arise first. This will happen only when replication occurs. The unvaccinated population is the major breeding ground for variants, not the other way around.
