> most people would do the former, this is basically back to square one, and to call this "end-to-end" is misleading.

I'm not sure I agree that this is misleading. Google, who is storing the data, never holds the key. Likewise, the key provider never holds the data. To compromise the data you'd need to compromise both gmail and the key provider at the same time. The fact that organizations are delegating the key management is an implementation detail.

this is sorta true, but not quite

amdgpu is the underlying open source kernel module -- it's in the mainline kernel.

mesa is the open source userland driver, and runs atop the amdgpu kernel driver

amdgpu pro is the closed source userland driver, which also runs atop the open amdgpu kernel driver.

what's really nice about this is that you can run a fully open source stack in your host os while running amdgpu pro/rocm inside a container.

> W3C is playing hardball {with} MIT's reputation.

It's more like softball, if we're being honest. 99.9% of the public doesn't care, and of the small portion of the public who is familiar with both MIT and W3C... I'll just predict that nobody is going to show up and protest, or bring torches and pitchforks, or anything because of twitter threads. Nobody is going to cut MIT's funding because of this, and they'd have to really cut in order to make MIT reconsider dumping what must be a money-loser for them already.

Really playing hardball with MIT's reputation would involve getting Tim Berners-Lee in front of the mainstream press to talk about this.

> MIT is playing hardball with people's jobs and W3C assets.

That is hardball.
It might be easier for SIMD to work by extracting the key value from each object into its own array.

Form an array with fixed element size: [ {index0 | key0}, {index1 | key1}, ...], where indices are the element index to the original array of objects and the keys are fixed size. The fat element {index | key} is moved as a whole unit to carry the original index along with the swap during sorting. SIMD can deal with fixed size units very well.

This is a key part of IBMs strategy, since it seems that LPARs on mainframes are treated as hard partitions and do not incur the same "whole machine" cost as VMs. At least that is what IBM themselves say when asked what the target audience is for their Linux only mainframes, which seems to be over 50% just for Oracle.

I only have experience with Z and not as much with POWER systems, so I'm not sure if LPARs on POWER are similar technology or if they are just VMs. But if they are the same that would go a long way in explaining how companies plan to reduce cost by going with IBM despite the increased core multiple licensing cost.

Huh. I always _hated_ that page turning animation, because it obscured the content and made it difficult to quickly swipe back and forth.

It was also slow, interrupting my reading flow. When I'm reading something exciting, I always start reading at a fast pace, and the interruption in reading while I turn each page feels like a video constantly stopping to buffer.

Both of these factors apply to physical books to some extent, but much less so – mainly because you can fit much more text on a book page than on a phone screen, and also because you can turn a physical page quite fast.

Slow page turns are also the reason I don't like ePaper readers. In that case it's not an animation slowing things down, but the ePaper refresh time.

Anyway, this is why I used to use the iOS Kindle app instead of Apple Books (née iBooks) – because the Kindle app uses a simple horizontal sliding animation (similar to Libby in the article) that is faster and doesn't obscure content. However, Apple Books eventually added a mode that removes pages altogether in favor of a continuous vertical scroll, which I now use.

I just briefly tried Apple Books' new page turning animation, and I definitely prefer it, though it's still a bit slow and I still prefer the vertical scroll. Perhaps the change was made with users like me in mind.

Which is not to say I'm happy with the old animation being taken away from users who liked it! I appreciate that my sensitivity to interruptions is idiosyncratic, and the old animation certainly had superior aesthetics. Ideally it would be a setting.
Tell HN: Google is correlating location data to your IP
Hi HN, Is this a known thing? I'm pretty frustrated, and even given my near-complete disillusionment about capital-driven-tech these days, I can't believe Google is doing this.

I just got home from being in Mexico where I used my VPN (because of course US financial apps panic if you access them outside the US).

I fired up my LG TV running the YouTube app (which I'm not signed into) and every, single, ad is in Spanish.

My Edge browser on my desktop computer gives results in Mexico and claims I'm in Quintanna Roo. In many places, I cannot override this, at least without signing in and/or apparently explicitly feeding it more accurate location data to "fix" it's perception.

Is this expected/known? At one point, it even said "based on your IP address" despite the fact that my IP clearly looks up to a Washington State IP address.

I just wish I could make this known to Google's advertisers. Are they aware that when I travel, they're pay to show me ads that I can't understand?

> I wonder if Germany was more aggressive with tariffs to protect automakers from competition.

It's somewhat the opposite actually. Germany taxes imported cars, but at least it still allows them. At the behest of automakers and unions, the US banned imported cars entirely in 1988. This allowed American automakers to profit despite stagnating. It wasn't until foreign subsidiaries started capturing market share from the US that American automakers were forced to innovate again.

I thought Trenta was already recapturing electricity and feeding it back to the capacitor banks. This not clear from this video but it was a previous claim.

What about the limitations of a human mind, and its needs for healthy patterns of frequency and intensity of tasks, are they considered in the design of these tools? Maybe one of the keys is here.
The section on the `t` value could also have added that in the Common Lisp standard, there are a great many functions that returns a boolean value. When they return a true value, all that is required is that they return a value that isn't nil. This could be `t`, and often is, but is not required to be.

There are only a few forms that are required to return `t` for true, calls to the functions `not` and `null` being two of them. So, to coerce a true to `t`, one does `(not (not <form>))`.

> Why the choice of java as introductory level?

It was a hard choice. I wanted a language that was:

1. Fairly high level with garbage colleciton so users didn't have to worry about pointers and stuff while they were trying to learn basic concepts.

2. Object-oriented, since that's familiar territory for many programmers and because I wanted to show some techniques around working with programming languages in an object-oriented language, like the visitor pattern.

3. Widely known and not mostly confined to a single platform or domain.

4. Statically typed, since I think it makes it much easier to see what types are flowing through the code when it's on paper and you don't have a debugger to help you.

There isn't much in the intersection of that set. Functional languages like SML and Haskell are great for writing compilers and interpreters, but now readers have to learn two things at the same time. C++ is a reasonable widely known typed OOP language, but is a nightmare of complexity. JavaScript is a good OOP linqua franca but the lack of types is a drag. TypeScript is maybe a good choice, but it's type system is so complex and JavaScript has so much weird baggage that I didn't want to go there. C#, Swift, and Kotlin are all nice languages but hew mostly to specific platforms.

Java was the least bad lingua franca I could find. I also don't mind it as a language.

> It’s just that Java is so longform.

My experience is that Java isn't particularly verbose as long as you don't program in a 90's Enterprise Java style.

> as the low-level code is simpler and smaller.

The C bytecode VM is quite compact, but it is so because it deliberately discards a bunch of things like an AST, simple environment representation, or separate resolution pass. It is designed to be implemented in C.

But I also want to teach users those other concepts. If I'd written the tree-walk interpreter that you do first also in C, it would end up a huge sprawling C program. Just dealing with allocating and freeing the AST nodes at the right time would have been miserable.

Not to mention, it means you would have to implement a garbage collector very early on since Lox relies on it but C doesn't have it.

Nice, an article I can read instead of cleaning the house!
What about it do you think is kind of neat?
Cybersecurity teams are usually very IT literate, well educated, and used to self-educating – it comes with the territory. Cybersecurity systems, by their nature, are critical to organizations and this is only increasing with the rise in threats to both networks and data, but also to the global economy, food security, and rising prices.

If there are a limited number of input permutations then you can test all of them to see which is plausible.
"Will this be useful for jailbreak?
Probably not.

This - as far as I can tell - affects userspace processes only. Jailbreaks require a kernel exploit. (The Apple Security release notes says that this bug may allow “arbitrary code with kernel privileges”, but I can’t see how.)

You might still do something cool on iOS with this, but I’m not sure what you’d overwrite: codesigning should protect all executables and libraries. (I have not tested this: let me know if you find anything!)"

Everyone knows it's a scam, they are all just betting they won't be the last sucker out the door. The people you see hyping this stuff are all, save for a clueless minority of largely actual children, doing so hoping to bring in a few more rubes to drive the price up and exit. Sometimes (always if you aren't on the inside to know when the rug is going to be pulled) you are the rube and you try to recoop your losses. MLM works the same way "If I only could get a few more people to sign up under me, then I'd be able to get some of my money back."

In magic/mentalism I think this technique is called "instant stooge"[0], basically play off the agreeable nature of people to get them to shill for you once, at that point they are trapped and you can escalate the ask. Come to think of it cults work the same way, after you made a fool out of yourself it's easier to double down rather than see yourself as a fool.

In short, most people aren't victims but instead aspiring coconspirators who didn't make the cut.
