> Additionally, 512-bit wide vectors are just too big - the resulting vector units take up too much die space even on big cores, and the power consumption causes issues causing said dies to downclock.

This is no longer true, citing [0]:

> At least, it means we need to adjust our mental model of the frequency related cost of AVX-512 instructions. Rather than the prior-generation verdict of “AVX-512 generally causes significant downclocking”, on these Ice Lake and Rocket Lake client chips we can say that AVX-512 causes insignificant (usually, none at all) license-based downclocking and I expect this to be true on other ICL and RKL client chips as well.

And we still have to see AMDs implementation of AVX512 on Zen4 to know what behavior and limits it may have (if any).

I like to see it as an unsolved problem. Similar to when Diffie and Hellman revolutionized cryptography with the concept of public/private keys, I like to think that one day, a revolutionary proof will drop that demonstrates a true trustless privacy model where backdooring isn't even a remote possibility.
I met developers who were way more than only 10x. They were so full of fire that they inspired whole departments with their drive. They drove up the productivity of each and every developer by 1.2x or something and in sum that was way more than they ever could have worked on their own. Sadly, management often doesn't recognize this skill and just sees a warrior who doesn't do as many commits as everyone else, finally getting rid of those.
Ask HN: What will happen to my Binance Luna after the Airdrop?
I bought into Luna after the crash, and was holding some on Binance.

Now it seems that there is a revival plan that got triggered on the 27th, which will include an Airdrop. See: https://agora.terra.money/t/terra-ecosystem-revival-plan-2-passed-gov/18498

I do not understand however what this will imply for my holdings on Binance (which are frozen now btw).

Will I still have the new Luna and at what price?
I wonder why you used quotes around encryption? They encrypt the email. That very obviously does not mean Proton somehow encrypted the sent email in the senders Gmail account.

However, lacking the other data point (e.g. knowing who has sent me an email from a service that does not encrypt their emails, and being able to access that email from that account), my emails are not readable without my secret.

I never claimed that Proton can encrypt someone else's emails.
I use kMyMoney as a replacement, it's not exactly the same but it gets the job done for me.
> Do you have evidence that Proton does not actually encrypt their emails?

Their encryption is based on PGP and therefore only message contents are "E2E" encrypted. Subject, From, To, etc. are not. These fields contain most of the information already. For example, Amazon puts the name of the ordered item in the subject line, so they can still see what you ordered.

And I'm putting "E2E" in quotes because if the sender does not send encrypted emails, then they can read the full content at delivery time, obviously. They immediately encrypt them with your public key and they claim that they discard the unencrypted version after that but there is no way we can verify that.

Long story short: you still have to trust your email provider after all. If I'd want to switch away from Google, I'd probably switch to some "normal" email provider (Fastmail, Apple, etc.). The benefits of "E2E" encryption for email are questionable and the drawbacks huge (for example search is very limited). But competition is good and I'm glad they are advancing.
I mean... he is absolutely right, what's your problem with that? Do you think this proposition is radical indeed? If so, it shouldn't look like a joke to you. Or do you think it isn't bold and radical, but an obvious prerequisite for a sustainable stablecoin? Well, then it is really funny, because people are investing fucking millions into a bucket full of holes, without bothering to notice that water is gushing from its bottom like crazy.

I am very grateful that modern technology has led me to exciting places that I would not have found without it.

I traveled for 20 months between 2016 and 2018 in Asia and Europe with my self-made 4WD camper. I spent months in the Mongolian steppe and an Iranian desert. Without the map data from the Openstreetmap project (and a satellite navigation device) I would not have found many fantastic places and wonderful routes.

The Mongolian nomads still have their yurts (ger they call them), their herds, and their families. But they also have smartphones and solar panels today. Does this ruin the experience of visiting these wonderful and hospitable people? I don't think so. It makes to better because you can stay in contact easily after leaving their country.
I don't even understand the question you're asking. Nobody is suggesting the proxy be disabled, including for sr.ht.

It's OK not to know the specifics of what this is about, but it's weird to have strong opinions about it if you don't.
You still need to implement a CI rule so that I don't just call `set_fs()` without using `preferred_syntax(set_fs)`, don't you?
I was attempting sarcasm, because as you say, Obama loved that surveillance shit.
Isn't the thing that non-technical managers lack, perspective? Like how long is it going to take and what is the LOE? You don't get that by being able to write a shell script. You don't always get it from being technical either.

I was in a technical role for 5 years before I started managing a team and I still lack perspective sometimes. I don't always see the big picture. I don't always understand the LOE on my asks. I try to be clear with my team that this is one of my limitations and to please call me out on it if I'm missing the mark, etc.
A US Citizen has more legal and practical safeguards with their data hosted in the US than abroad, but unfortunately the widespread privacy anti-marketing has obscured this critical concept entirely in exchange for "Swiss are probably good at privacy stuff".
Does anybody make $1000 USD / hr? What is your day to day like? How many clients do you have and how many hours do you bill per year? Do you actually work 2087 hours per year which would net you $2MM/year?

I'm curious how some people are able to bill such high amounts and how they got started. It must also be extra stressful since its not like you are working for a company either so you need to do marketing and find clients as well.
If your idea of "good legislation" is "bureaucratic hellpit that promises the solution to all problems to the electorate, but in reality just makes things slightly more expensive to big companies and destroys any chance of smaller players to disrupt the market", then yes, EU legislation is great.

Cookie law is "simple", but what does it achieve? How are our lives better after knowing that every website uses cookies? Is there any website you thought "oh wow, they are telling me they are using cookies, this totally changes my perception of how they operate!"?

GDPR is the same: did it make any difference in the amount of surveillance capitalism we are subject to? No! Did it make any of the sites you use to reduce the amount of data collected? No! Did it make money for a fuckton of lawyers who went after Small/Medium Businesses who had a website and had no idea if they were complying or not, leading the majority of them to just close down and move to Facebook Pages? Of course it did!
Also, try smuggling some cocaine into any country.
In your scenario are you suggesting that HelloFresh start sending people refunds unprompted? That doesn't exactly sound likely, but sure, they could stick a "Disclaimer: If you delete your details it may make it more difficult for us to refund you if we suddenly lose our minds and start inexplicably sending refunds to people unprompted".
I suppose you always have to trust someone. (I'm not the one who branded them as snake oil, BTW)
There is a clash of terminology: the Lagrangian formulation of fluid dynamics follows the path of fluid particles, in contrast to the Eulerian form, which observes the fluid passing by a fixed coordinate system. In general dissipative systems don’t have time-independent Lagrangians.

Most of the people espousing this view raise children with the economic and social benefits of intact, stable families.

> I think most of our disagreement is about the word ownership. I think many of the times you've used that word, it would be more accurate to say possession.

But also I'm saying that a foundational pillar of NFTs is that possession on the blockchain is the only thing that matters.

It's possible to disagree with that pillar, but removing it would destroy a huge chunk of what NFTs are.

If you want me not to say 'ownership' for that concept, that's fine.

Also I'm not making this claim about crytocurrency in general. It's only specific subsets.
I think the point of contention is exactly how obvious this is to most Protonmail users. I worry too many read "it's encrypted" and make dangerous assumptions about what can actually be guaranteed rather than investigating first-hand; this is the real risk of such services, in my opinion.

I put "encryption" in quotes to indicate nuance in the characterization. A locksmith installs an amazing door and lock at my home, but keeps a copy of the key at the shop - I think a fitting analogy for what Protonmail is essentially doing here. This isn't a value judgement - such a setup is perfectly reasonable for most people's threat model - rather an honest apprehension of actual trust boundaries.
Each time remains of an ancient city are uncovered, I wonder the same thing: is the estimation of size of the city correct? They include all the settlement remains. But perhaps it was serial - that is, new places were built as old ones decayed? They were often mud brick. Perhaps it wasn't 1000 people, but 100 moving 10 times etc.
Is it even a hard break? It seems to be more of a short lived regression while patches for filesystem drivers are still coming in to restore support and I don't think Linux ever guaranteed a stable driver API.
Man, we got burned with a "contracted" credit card solution, complete with horrible support, service and billing.
We could maybe do this with todays technology already - solar powered desalination plants.

Not sure how much that would cost per square meter of forest/agriculture, tbh.
> It's even harder to say, look, we've got to accept that some amount of child exploitation is going to happen and people are going to use digital tools to spread it. But at some point, I think you do have to defend the principle that we have to tolerate a certain amount of even the very worst things if we want to have meaningful civil liberties.

This is not how I’d articulate it. We tolerate some terrible things because trying to stop them would be even worse. There are really bad people out there. Unfortunately those bad people can also run for office and/or get hired on to 3 letter agencies.

A pedophile with a camera is less dangerous than a senator without the 4th amendment. A racist on social media is less dangerous than a president without the first amendment.

Fascism doesn’t happen because you elect a fascist president. The seeds of fascism had to be sown long before that. Fascism is the result of eroding protections designed to prevent a leader from over-reaching. The path to fascism is paved in good intentions.

Attached to HomeKit, so the devices outside of the network need to use iCloud and HomeHub (Apple TV, HomePod etc) to bridge into the network.

In short your phone kindly asks an Apple TV (within your local network) to execute a device command on its behalf, via iCloud.

If you trust Apple to get their device-to-device auth and crypto right (which is the same stuff that power iCloud Keychain), then you can trust HomeKit to not expose your home devices to randos on the internet.
>Subject, From, To, etc. are not.

I never claimed they were.

>These fields contain most of the information already

Except, you know, the body of the email.

>Amazon puts the name of the ordered item in the subject line, so they can still see what you ordered.

Yes, Proton is not a panacea. Again, never claimed it was. You can't just abandon all opsec because you use Proton, I agree.

>Long story short: you still have to trust your email provider after all. If I'd want to switch away from Google, I'd probably switch to some "normal" email provider (Fastmail, Apple, etc.).

I agree with the point about trust. You have to trust your hardware wasn't backdoored on the way out of the factory, too. Security and privacy are about trade-offs and weighing risks. I've weighed my risks and made my choices.

Right, because an immigrant working in the US and helping their family to buy a house in their home country is exactly the same as being a drug dealer.
> I think the biggest takeaway here is system-wide operations are bad for system-wide reliability.

Yes!

System-wide operations, whether they are human-driven operations ("ssh onto that box"), control-plane operations ("remove all the failed servers"), DI operations ("deploy the new code"), or even basic algorithmic things like replication ("put the same state onto all the servers") are the top causes of correlation that I've seen in the wild. Whether or not this matters to you depends a lot on what you're building, and how often you can tolerate failures. But if you're building something that needs high availability, durability, integrity, etc it's worth paying a huge amount of attention to the things that can introduce correlation in your systems.

If you're interested in reading more beyond what Joe (the OP) talks about some methods of avoiding those in the article (he's a colleague of mine at AWS):

* Our "Millions of Tiny Databases" paper goes into a lot of detail on another AWS take on reducing correlated failure (https://www.usenix.org/conference/nsdi20/presentation/brooke...).
* Some AWS folks from the S3 team also touch on correlation in this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzRyrvUF-C0&t=2410s
* I've written in the past about the role of software deployments in correlated failure (https://brooker.co.za/blog/2022/01/31/deployments.html), and about how to think about the role of redundancy (https://brooker.co.za/blog/2021/04/14/redundancy.html).

As far as I know, every country in the world has capital controls.
Spot on! These folks arguing for that kind of regulation, along with associated enforcement bureaucracy, are really arguing against freedom in the end. They may not have put 2+2 together yet, but I bet a lot of them haven't actually thought things beyond 1st order effects.

And considering the forum, a credible argument for everyone to sacrifice some of their freedom needs to clear a way higher bar.
Crypto is just what you get in a zero interest rate world. That's how it started (fear of money inflation).

With interest rates in steady state rates, people would choose wisely if it's better to stash money into a regular savings account or into void of cryptoschemes with occassional jackpot.

I agree - the replacement is better assets, such as cash. When it is priced reasonably again.
Genuine question, how is a browser tab different than thunderbird? Besides storing a local copy of mail (which is obviously a huge win), I don't see a big difference. If anything I like the web UI better.

However, for my uses I simply installed proton bridge + apple mail. It just works with all email services I use.

This was a great read indeed. I was sort of surprised at the direct attack on 'agile', especially when the author's recommendations at the end could practically have come straight out of agilemanifesto.org.

Seems like the Agile Industrial Complex has twisted the meaning of 'agile' in developers' minds completely out of what the manifesto's authors meant by now.
I find it works very well using the bridge on my Manjaro desktop, and was fine on Debian before that.
Both conventional probability and quantum mechanics are worrisome: On a long enough timeline, the universe will (repeatedly) reset itself to precisely the original state at the time of the big bang. It is difficult to avoid a universe where time is not cyclical. Especially if space turns out to be finite. Or if indeed parallel worlds do exist. Or if a big crunch happens.
No idea why you are being downvoted.

Yes, removing the plaque has been tried and has so far been unsuccessful at improving Alzheimer's.

The way I picture it (and I'm not an expert, still learning about this stuff myself) is to look at amyloid plaque as a clog in a pipe between nerve cells. Now picture the blockage putting a crack in the pipe. You can clear the blockage, but you still have a cracked pipe, so anything you send down the pipe will spill out.

We have no way of fixing the broken pipe, so we must prevent the build up of the plaque in the first place.

What is "advanced"? Is it a property everyone would agree on? Is it a single scale or some multi-dimensional ordering?

You can't just short something you know is worthless. Maintaining the position has costs, but that's not even the problem. If the asset collapses to zero like you believe it should, that usually comes with a halt on trading it. That means you can't actually buy the assets you need to close your position and profit. You can actually be left on the hook for interest on a loan that can never be exited.

Making money as a result of knowing something is fundamentally worthless is actually quite difficult.

Hahaha, of course you don't see that. You're talents are rarified and frozen in amber (you work in an opaque, cut throat, morally bankrupt industry that headhunts just for the sake of taking talent off the market).

I 100% agree that's it's arbitrary, and my figure wasn't a source of categorical, universal truth, but guess what? The hardest questions in life resides squarely in a GREY area.

I'd even argue that your intense rationality and reliance on systems (no matter how ineffective, or even untrue) is a crutch because, in theory, you will always be at odds with the proletariat.

And what good is that?
You run a well-known online backup company and I don't, but my reaction was exactly the same: The only VMware products I've ever cared about are Workstation and Fusion, neither of which is on the list.

On the one hand, it's pretty cool that VMware has pivoted so successfully over the past 15 years from being solely focused on a hypervisor (or, I suppose in modern terminology, "self-hosted cloud") business that the cloud largely supplanted. On the other hand, it's sad for someone like me, who used Workstation to run VMs at home (I moved to VirtualBox), and have thought at times about spinning up ESXi.

How do they handle the additional e-waste?
It's not uncommon in my field. And quite a few of the people billing that rate or higher actually net greater than $2m, because they get credit not only for what they bill but what work they bring in for others to bill.

That said, $1k/hr billed does not directly translate to $1k/hr earned. Usually there is shared overhead, etc taken out first.
I went to Thailand on an Excite/Adventure tour in 1989. I was the only American in the group and it was mostly younger people.

Checking into the hotel in Bangkok as a single man, they just assumed I was there for sex, and asked if I wanted a girl sent up to my room (the answer was no, in case you're wondering).

We also trekked through the "native tribes" areas in the north, where the tribes had been "persuaded" not to practice slash-and-burn agriculture anymore, and made a side income from hosting tourists. Believe it or not, one of the tribes was called the Karens.

If Amazon’s board decided to reallocate the CEO’s compensation package and grant it to employees, it would increase the entry level salaries of warehouse workers from $18/hour to $18.45/hour.

Not a bad bump, but also historically low by Amazon pay bumps. But it’s also not going to solve income inequality… And very likely there are few people qualified to be CEO of Amazon who’d do the job for $18.45/hour.
