> Your statement assumes they need to pay someone to keep going

No it doesn't. A person who says e.g., "If you have diabetes, you need to mindful of your insulin and blood sugar levels", is not assuming a given person has diabetes. That's not how conditional claims are read.

Wrong; even if they can (and have), what I stated still remains true.

Wikipedia's "Assume Good Faith" guideline is exactly that—a Wikipedia guideline—and has no intrinsic connection to wikis.

Aside from that, the tendency for Wikipedians to admonish their opponent by citing WP:AGF specifically for the purpose of implicitly accusing the other side of (willfully or not) choosing not to observe/respect the rules of decorum—and thus themselves operating in contravention of the very guideline they're citing—is perverse but unfortunately entirely too common. Invoking the shibboleth is certainly one of Wikipedia's most baffling traditions.

GPU threads aren't "threads" as you know them on a CPU. They aren't independent units of execution with their own control flow. Each instruction decoder in the GPU feeds a few hundred execution units, each addressing and fetch unit feeds a few hundred execution units. So if suddenly one of those hundreds of execution units takes a different branch, that control flow will have to be executed in sequence, before or after the control flows that didn't branch. This means that all the other execution units will be flushed, stay idle, and wait while the few instruction decoder and fetch units will process that one different branch. So a branch penalty won't be just a few cycles, as in a CPU, but a few thousand cycles times a few hundred execution units. Plus an additional memory fetch latency because GPU memory also isn't really designed for random access patterns.
Can someone ELI5 this "stops" concept for DR? It is similar to a number of bits that can represent more or less precise information?
Ask HN: Why does my waitlist form get spam?
I am launching a service to validate incoming pitch decks to your investment thesis, for VCs and Angel Investors.

On my landing page there's a form for signing up to a waitlist. As the page got online, I received a concentration of obviously fake names (duplicates), but with what looks to be real e-mail addresses.

Why do bots do this? What is the incentive?
Just a nice co-incidence :)

Imagine an automated scanner and attack tool. First it fingerprints your server, then it attacks with only payloads it thinks may work. If you trick it into thinking you run WordPress, for example, then it will attack you with WordPress payloads that won't affect you, even if it happens to know one that does.

Attackers have limited resources, so slowing them down with slowloris, or tricking them to use the wrong attacks provides protection. Dedicated attackers may notice the WordPress trick or may just run every payload against you, but automated scanners that are trying to be efficient will not. Hopefully a WAF can detect that much more noisy attack and deny-list their IP address(es), and other more traditional defences kick in.
Keycloak is the bane of my existence. We use it and I absolutely regret it, although we didn't have any alternative at the time. Bloated and overly complex java stuff with lots and lots of undocumented behaviour. And they are still missing proper devops etiquette.
I've been working in consultancy for most of my career and have been in so many projects by now that seemed to be bullshit rewrites in $tech of the month; at least two projects where microservices were pushed through. The last one I was in was funny because while they had a small army of consultants and self-employed engineers vying for influence and carving out their own slice of the pie, the existing team of running, working, earning .NET software was just going about their day.

It was quite telling that after 1.5 years of that project, where all staff had already been replaced once, all they had to show for was a fancy product name and a presentation. And that the manager that led the project for ~2 years left right before or right when it went live - and he did that in a previous project too, where a working .NET backend for ecommerce was replaced with a Scala microservices on AWS system.

I did hear about the latter; I heard they went back to .NET, but the Scala services are still up and running and a maintenance nightmare.

But the lead developer got to play with his favorite tool and landed a job at lightbend because of it. Career-driven development, and I don't even believe he did it for his own career, but for self-gratification. Ecommerce is boring; REST APIs and a front-end are boring. But Scala, distributed systems, AWS, that's all cool and new.

I'm so tired.

This; also, the more interesting tidbit is that the US at that point hadnt really developed anything with titanium (for the same reason; most of it was in the USSR) so Lockheed had to develop all the tooling for the SR-71 internally as well, just to be able to work with it --regular steel tools simply couldn't handle titanium.

That's obviously not true; but I don't get why you're saying that. What prompted it?
I think this is an attitude shift that a lot of developers need to get over. They like writing code, they like working with computers, and they pick that to do as their day job.

But their day job actually isn't writing code, it's solving a problem for an end-user; the programming language is just a tool.

Rethink your job from a coder to a problem solver and you should be able to get over the compulsion to overcomplicate things for your own gratification.

OK, fair enough. I guess my point was a little bit broader: anyone who knows anything about The New Yorker will think you're ignorant for having written what you did. Your comment here sort of confirms that.

By all means, you're not the first person to proudly wave their ignorance on the Internet, nor will you be the last, and yours isn't especially egregious by Internet standards. I am baffled that you would want to write a blog post about how ignorant you are and then submit it to the front page of HN. If I were you, I'd, like, not want people to read that?

As I said, in which codebase does the key verification and encryption live--is it in the native code, or in the Java code? I suspect you don't know, or you don't know why that matters.

And overestimate how expensive it is to just add another server, or underestimate how expensive a rebuild is. But then, part of that is also that IT departments want the budget; if they don't spend their annual budgets on innovation, their budget gets cut.

Or in my neck of the woods, the EU subsidies will stop if they don't have anything they can file as "innovation".
I'm sure if Passkeys are found to be susceptible to quantum cracking, they will move on post-quantum encryption.

I like this post. My first employment with a corporation was McDonalds. You could really get a boost from the more involved managers. They didn't treat you like some replaceable idiot. I was genuinely surprised how much there was to learn at McDonalds. A large number of different food stations, a crazy amount of kit to repair, never ending specials and register upgrades. It was much more interesting than I expected. And, yes, the lunch crush was the most fun every day.
Not sure this holds water. Which SOLID principle, or combination, solves the problem of building a system where a request traverses a boundary that is not problematic when executed locally, but introduces too much latency when you put a new network call behind an interface?

From what I can see, SOLID lets you split the monolith, as long as you happen to have interface segregation on the right seams. It says nothing about the operational properties of the service once split, which is by far the bigger problem, and depends on the non-functional properties of the code using the interfaces. Unless you already know you are headed for a microservice split, you're unlikely to have designed with that in mind.
I heard anecdotaly from someone who worked at Rakuten that the shift to English caused issues in meetings, not because of language problems but because English doesn't designate social structure like Japanese.

In Japanese, you conjugate verbs differently depending on if the person is more or less senior than you, as well as other language changes. Apparently when they switched to English it caused people to take offense that lower people were being rude. Also, people also struggled to identify who was at what level, something that is super easy listening in to a Japanese conversation.

Not sure how involved the person I heard this from was, but it makes a good story!
Unfortunately, for transformer-based LLMs the magic starts only when they are trained by more that 10^22 TFlops (preferably 10^24) so smaller models might not cut it even for fine-tuned tasks.
Lemmy is federated. You can interact with other instances by design. Being on a small instance may even be better as it's less likely to be overloaded, which is a current issue with the largest instances. Running an instance of your own, for just yourself is a primary way to use federated services.

To be fair, now that we got a chance to play a leaked (and reconstructed) version of the Unreal DNF build... If this game came out in 2001 it would absolutely be a top tier legendary title. It's tragic that they didn't finish it when they should have. It had nothing to do with marketing. Just plain old fucking up.
The vast vast majority of CPUs shipped in the world do not have register renaming. But even with it, as you say, that's just expanding a 5 bit architectural register field to a 6 to 8 bit logical register field.

There are zero currently shipping commercially-produced RISC-V CPUs that do instruction-fusing -- and we know more than 10 billion cores had been shipped as at this time last year.

The three or four companies currently designing RISC-V CPUs intended to be competitive with current or near-current x86 and Apple are of course making 8-wide (or so) OoO cores, and they say they are implementing some instruction fusion.

Those will be available in two or three years perhaps, and will get a lot of publicity, but they will be a tiny minority of RISC-V cores shipped, just as Cortex-A and Cortex-X are a tiny minority of Arm's.
I just saw the video, I think that's plausible and notably the test flight seems last only few minutes without the magic "hybrid technology" they mention in the presentation, as expected. I agree with one think the guy says in the video, the only purpose of that machine is to make people enjoy the thrill of flight, aka amusement parks.

The comparison sections are very confusing. It says you will compare your UI toolkit with, for example, Flutter and then there is no comparison there at all. I thought the site is broken on mobile, I tried different browsers, etc, because the comparison was just not there.

If you don't have any real content there because you don't want to start a flame war, you could try something like what the Flutter team did, they have an "onboarding guide" for XYZ developers that builds upon things you already learned in other frameworks and explains the key differences without coming off as hostile towards the other frameworks.

I hate to use Wikipedia as an authority but:

> you haven't done enough research.

the research isn't free either. The more indepth and time it takes to do such research, the slower you come to a decision and ship.

Cloud allows you to ship fast. It allows you to go without research - just accept the marketing, and pay up.

You pay above-cost (compared to on-prem) when you grow to a certain size. But this is usually a worthy trade off tbh.

I doubt any real trickery was involved. The Russians who sold the US the ore wouldn't have cared where the money came from. The US did them a favour by making an effort to disguise who the real buyer was, so the ore sellers wouldn't get in to trouble.

Well, I am ignorant, I don't know the internal workings of every single magazine, but I am aware how the media engine is working since I also work in the entertainment industry.

I am sure you are not genuinely claiming that it's impossible for them to be influenced by PR firms or external marketing spend? That you sincerely believe they are never influenced by external marketing of people? How might you suppose they find people to write profiles on? I personally know that it isn't chance.

I do use my real name for whatever it's worth, I have absolutely no problem wearing these statements on my sleeve- if you read the article you would see my real name plastered at the top of the page and a link to my video game credits buried near the bottom of the page in the "Commonly Asked Questions" section.

Fue problem with IRC is that it's crucial to have really robust read state synchronization across desktop and mobile these days.

Can't really recommend these newer more expensive models with OLED screens. The charm of the original was it's low price point and always-on Memory-In-Pixel display which enabled the ultra long battery life.

This is a way to modularise a monolith. It just happens to also be a way to allow it to build out to a distributed deployment.

I hesitate to say "microservices" because I strongly suspect that the 95th-percentile use case will see all the parts strongly coupled and deployed as a single commonly-versioned blob. Not saying that's a bad thing necessarily, but if one of the benefits of microservices is loose coupling, it's not going to encourage a good microservice architecture.

Lego Poised to Enter the Quantum Computer Market
I was deeply involved in the indie scene during this time and played many of these local multiplayer games at GDC indie events, weekly barcade meetups, game jams, Indiecade, etc. I think this misled many developers. Your peers are together often, able to play local multiplayer games, and giving you a false sense of market. I played hundreds of hours of these games in that setting, but never once booted them up at home on my own couch. If you weren't careful you could fall into the game developer version of a comedian's comedian.

One gameplay critique I think this post-mortem missed was that the keep-away mechanic at the heart of the game is a zero-sum mechanic. One player is keeping away, and having fun; while all other players are being kept away from, which is frustrating. They addressed this a little in the fuller release but I think keep-away itself is mechanically bankrupt so even a gorgeous coat of paint can't bring it around.

All of the other local multiplayer 'successes' from this period were distilled fighting games - Towerfall, Nidhogg, Killer Queen, Duck Game, etc. These allowed for new players to enjoy themselves even in defeat. For Toto Temple, a game of mixed newbs and vets would turn into a vet running circles for the full time limit and then someone suggesting we switch to Towerfall.
I agree, but here I was talking about the creation of the language, my opinion was that a language started like spanglish could not be a creole.
That's fair - but since this is about core language changes, compiling the non-header-only libraries already covers most of the commonly used libraries. Libraries like boost will also use most existing C++ features. I can't think of a single feature boost doesn't use, actually.
