A lot of server workloads also aren't about maximizing flops/Watt or iops/Watt, but rather setting up DMA between the disk controller and the network card and having a low idle power, to get the most network throughput per Watt. A lot of the high-end computation is also about handing off data to the GPU and having a low idle power.

It took Intel way too long to get the power consumption on the Atom processors down (not ops/Watt, but total Watts), back when Atom had a chance in the phone market. (A difficult task, which is why I bought ARM Holdings stock shortly after Android came out because I realized (1) nearly everyone was going to soon have a smartphone and (2) whether iPhone or Android won, it was going to be very difficult for Intel to get competitive in the smartphone market fast enough to prevent ossification of the market around ARM. Unfortunately, SoftBank took ARM private and closed out my trade.)

Now, the same dynamic of the low-end x86 processor eating its way up the stack to threaten the high-margin mainframe and RISC servers is playing out with low-end ARM eating its way up the stack and displacing a lot of uses for the high-margin x86 server chips.
I dont because of documentation. I know I can google anything about ubuntu and I dont want to spend a lot of time figuring it out myself. Safe reason I moved back to x86 from ARM, had a lot of issues with ZFS on a Pi4b.

Specifically about Debian. I find more than 1 year old versions pretty outdated. I couldn't try Go generics because the version was too old... that pissed me off.
Thanks, I was trying to remember what this was called!

debian has zfs support no? That being said a nas running freebsd is probably the best choice
Is the model still based on training data from 2021? I'm curious to see what happens when it's unleashed on its own output.
This is exactly the issue. No one monitors the logs and, by the time they figure out something is wrong, there isn't enough info available to properly assess the scope of the damage.

Another problem is the Business Basic product is too complex for what small businesses need (reliable email) and buying something even more complex to get a couple of extra features like proper logging is counterproductive.

As is, if a small business ends up with a compromised admin account I don't think it's unreasonable to consider migrating them to a different service. It's nearly impossible to guarantee a bad actor hasn't hidden a back door somewhere in all that complexity if your only tools for assessment are the ones offered in the Business Basic subscriptions.

I don't think it's just a communication issue. There's something really slimy about offering known-vulnerable versions of software for free and then charging for the security patches.
What does that even mean? "Redistribution of consequences"?

Because the culture around firearms in the US sees a lot of families bearing the consequences of easy access to firearms.

Are you concerned about the redistribution of those consequences also?
Sure but still far less than the barrier to entry of a house there now.
No offense taken! I use uBlock and whatever else I have in my browser, plus I block a lot of things at the DNS level. So far that's left it moderately usable; the only part I really interact with is the index page, though, and occasionally checking my own profile to make sure I'm still scrobbling.
It would be helpful if you can also bundle a dnsmasq-like (dnsmasq is not available for Windows :( ) thing for split-tunnel DNS.

For example I would like *.work.example.com goes through the DNS in work VPN.

Admitting my last comment is a bit false. Turns out ChatGPT is running on GPUs.
If one cannot trust the answers being generated by an AI by asking it even basic questions, then it shows that not only ChatGPT is a clever bullshitter but the hype has lead people to believe that ChatGPT is 'intelligent' without questioning why it is giving those wrong answers.

Given ChatGPT cannot transparently explain itself or reason why it is confidently generating wrong answers in the first place tells us that it is fundamentally yet another black box smokescreen useless for anything of serious or safety critical application.

There is nothing new in this ChatGPT AI hype other than 'train it on a snapshot of the entire internet' and see what happens and offer an API with grifters suddenly calling themselves 'AI companies'.
I think those ads are entirely reasonable. I had nothing against Pro until it led to them withholding security patches from people running the latest versions of their distros.

Unrelated to the article but since you seem to know this stuff, do you know what happens when a function in an “extern C” block exposes C++ types (parameters or return types)?

I assume it’s broken because it’d expect the actual C++ types to be passed in despite the lack of ABI stability, and only the linking / name mangling is affected (possibly calling conventions as well?) but I’m not actually sure.

My issues with Snap involved LXC. I stopped using Ubuntu for that project because it was such crap. I couldn't even control what version was running unless I went to great lengths, because snap would automatically and silently upgrade to the latest available (which brought in breaking API changes).

Once my current 20.04 snowflakes fall out of security patch support and need a major OS upgrade, I won't be using Ubuntu at all ever again. There's no advantage over Debian, quite the contrary. Sadly, now Ubuntu is the disadvantage OS.

The truth is, anyone with the qualifications and information necessary to make a proper evaluation already works for a military and isn’t allowed to say much.
F35B also has the hover capability. Its focus is to support in CAS (Close Air Support) roles, not necessarily doing hover support like helicopters, but STOVL capability needed to be stationed on temporary smaller airfields. AFAIK it's main use-case is to support the Marines.
In my networking class in college, our final project was to create a location sensing mesh network of devices running Contiki. The devices would receive a ping from a beaconing device and we had to locate it. We only had to worry about two axes, but the walls still made things difficult. It was a pretty fun project! It made me really interested in networking stuff.

I wish I still had the course material and code but unfortunately I lost the laptop it was on.

A certain subset of viewers envy Leonardo's character -- hot wife, sycophant employees, yacht, Lambo, etc -- but the film never presents him as admirable or even talented (except at ripping people off). A little like the book Liar's Poker back in the 80s -- Michael Lewis (sort of) intended it as an expose of the toxicity, absurdity, and excess of Wall Street. But the book was so entertaining, it actually made it sound like the greatest place anyone would ever want to work. Having enough money to bet $10 million on one hand, talking shit about Equities in Dallas, and of course, becoming known as a Big Swinging Dick.

Fight Club is a bit more subtle, it doesn't really renounce (or endorse) anything, but its main character is (spoiler) obviously seriously mentally ill with two entirely distinct personas.

Previously things made sense, as no one was actually working on Universe so it was a best effort thing. But now, Canonical is indeed working to make those packages secure, but is withholding the patches and only publishing to people who pay? That's not very much Open Source philosophy if you ask me...
I agree that we should try to be more positive. But for every useful startup there are dozens of quibis, juiceros and many others you mostly don't hear about, but would recognize as dead-ends if you paid attention.

So where do you draw the line? When something looks like BS vs. simply unusual/innovative. PG said that most good startup ideas are counterintuitive otherwise they would have been done a long time ago. But there are also a lot of counterintuitive ideas not worth doing.
Action needed for GitHub Desktop and Atom users after unauthorised repo access
As someone who took ownership of a large codebase from a genius former colleague who rarely explained himself, the only reason we kept the code was my insistence on replacing cryptic code 1-liners with easier to read/maintain multi-line expressions that had terse-but-readable variable names and //inline comments.

The team ended up expanding the codebase quite a bit before that technology stack was retired a couple years later. Not sure if it would have survived without that refactoring.
> having a fat pointer decay to a regular pointer _implicitly_ feels like what I never want to happen

D doesn't do that implicit decay, but I was thinking of the kernel requirements of no API change. A simple way to convert a phat pointer to a pointer is:

&a[0]

which is used in D to interface with C code. Note that the syntax still works if `a` is a pointer!

Since the pointer <=> phat pointer conversions are trivial operations, one can easily go back and forth between them depending on what part of the code one wants the overflow checks on vs the legacy interfaces.

With a couple of C macros one could turn on/off declaring arrays as pointers or phat pointers, and turn on/off the slicing code. In this way it will still compile with old compilers.

Yes, because as it turns out - it's our only alternative.
100% agree with this. I was religiously following clean code but never really saw benefits. Nowadays I start by making code work and only abstract/refactor if it feels right. And I don't know how to articulate "feels right" but what I can say is a lot of times, the resulting refactor is the opposite of what uncle bob recommends.

If GNOME did not exist, KDE would have been commercial ( Qt at least ). To prevent that, an alternative to GNOME would have arisen.

If KDE had not started with this flaw, I would agree with you.

For the most part, the Linux Desktop has been a majority using some variation of GNOME with a dedicated minority using KDE.

I have not used “GNOME” since the 2.x days but I have always been in the GNOME world. Even XFCE is really another base for GNOME.

I have not used KDE since the 2.x days either but current Plasma is pretty good and I do not mind it. I put Big Linux on a laptop and have not taken its version on KDE off yet.

This is a radical interpretation of the text if I’ve ever seen one. To the extent any of their contributions were merged upstream, they’re inherently MIT licensed by virtue of being in the same codebase which offers that license. To the extent they have unmerged changes, they may well be works for hire but it isn’t GitHub’s role to decide that between a second and third party.

Again nor do they want to. GitHub is extremely hands off about forks and the licensing implications thereof.

This isn’t a GH posture towards licensing disputes, it’s their posture towards their own authorization model. And that’s fine, but we shouldn’t conflate the two when they’re quite distinct.

NNs are potentially very powerful arbitrary function approximators, but you have very limited control (or, arguably, insight) into the precise nature of the solutions their optimization arrives at. Because of that, they've been especially well suited to problems in vision and NLP where we have basic intuition about the phenomenology but can't practically manage a formal description of that intuition (and enumerating that description is probably not of great intellectual interest): what, in pixel space, makes a cat a cat or a dog a dog? What, in patterns of natural words, indicates sarcasm or positive/negative sentiment?

They also get tons of use in results-oriented modeling of lots of other statistics questions in structured data (home prices, resource allocation, voter turnouts, etc.) but in this luddite's opinion, these sorts of applications tend to be pretty fraught if they short-change the convenience of the model training paradigm for a deeper understanding of the data phenomenology.

Multinationals have no loyalty to any country anyway. Giving TSMC big tax breaks to build top fabs in the US to make AMD chips is equally as good as having Intel be a success from a national security perspective.
Pretty cool.

I once worked on AI Dungeon and we had a similar idea to parse the story so far into a graph, so that we could manage long-term memory outside of the context window (which was only 2048 tokens).

Coreference is hard. ("he took the sword"... who is he?) Updating the graph is also hard. (As the story progresses, new facts contradict old facts. Jenny was dating Tom, but now she's dating Mike.)

And knowing what to do with the knowledge graph is hard too, especially if you don't know the schema up front. The only thing we could think to use it for was... programmatically turning relevant sections back into text and prepending it to the context window. (There were easier ways to get a similar effect.)
I read it, I'm just peeved that after two centuries, enough people are still convinced by broken window fallacies that articles like this are even necessary.

Uhh, they also cut comp for all the rank and file employees, but did not cut the dividends they issue (that disproportionately benefit executive class employees). Cutting the dividends would save much more money than shitting on their employees, but the goal is to ensure any cuts are restricted to things that don't really impact executives, board, etc - even if the long term costs are much worse.

snap is installed on ubuntu server too, and if some junior engineer comes in, how are they supposed to know not to use it?

How are they supposed to know that after googling some variation on "install docker ubuntu" and getting "snap install docker" (https://snapcraft.io/docker), they should ignore those very official looking instructions which will give them a broken and buggy docker installation?

Perhaps the problem's theoretical, but canonical certainly encourages using snaps on servers, such as in the microk8s docs (https://microk8s.io/docs/getting-started), and I expect if canonical keeps pushing it, it'll become more and more of a server problem in reality too.

There are many reasons why Koreans are angry with the US, and some are related to semiconductors.

After Intel sold its NAND division to SK Hynix, South Koreans were upset because the US government was trying to impose sanctions on Chinese chip factories. Koreans believe that Intel sold it to South Korea after consulting with the US government, knowing that Intel's Dalian fab in China would be affected. It is some kind of insider trading or fraud.

Then passing the IRA and pressuring Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix to build semiconductor factories on US soil is not an allied attitude.
