The isolation provided by the kennel is strictly more vulnerable than a TPM chip that can only interacted with via a communication protocol. Using the TPM, the hardware bootloader can verify that it boots only authorized, untainted kernel images. Without it, a chain of exploits can be used to taint the kernel boot image, thus effectively take over the machine. Even if an exploit chain succeeds in gaining root access, it's gone the next time the machine reboots.

The crucial problem is that the IT industry is more concerned about using it to enforce DRM instead of educating users so they can use it to retain ownership of their services.
Because chips supporting open-source software are available at the 28nm or 40nm level at much cheaper prices, higher performance, and lower power usage. I believe that 22nm is expected (in the long term) to become the cost-efficiency king, but its not an economic reality today yet.

But 28nm and 40nm are the cost-efficiency kings today. So what ever could a 180nm design ever offer the typical consumer outside of radiation-hardening?

And similarly, 5nm or 3nm server chips (like Xeon or EPYC) will always be at the forefront of power/performance/cost, you can't beat physics of shrinking transistors or the economics involved (though the most advanced node will need more-and-more volume to be cost-effective, as its become harder to build on these advance nodes).

There's almost no reason to ever pick an ancient 180nm design on a low-run when millions of 40nm or 28nm chips are being made, and/or billions of 5nm superior chips are being made.

I apologize for the harshness and sarcasm of my previous reply. I should have taken some more time to find a way to explain my personal gripes that were triggered by your remark. Please allow me a second chance:

I am often a bit disappointed that in common language, it is very easy to suggest that one can change the world for the better, but in reality it is not an option for nearly everyone.

I think that the problem leading to this is that most people believe that a group of people has similar traits as a single individual. A lot of reasoning goes awry by mixing the two. In my personal opinion, the way an individual makes up their mind is completely different from how a group of people makes up their collective minds. The first can be attributed to freedom of choice, agency, gut feeling, rational thought, etc. The latter lives in the realm of sociology, group think, religion, politics, marketing and communication.

Another example of where I think this goes wrong is in the idea that we can rescue the climate by starting with ourselves. This is simply not true, unless nearly all people do this. Another one is the idea of contemporary voting in democracies. It simply does not help at all to put out just one vote.

Change requires the opinions of many people to align. Sometimes, only sometimes, does a change by one person incur change in others. Most often, if you are not a leading figure, your change does not do anything at all. Ignoring this results in falsehoods and make-belief. I find this counterproductive in discussions.

It may well be that I made up the strawmans, but I tend to believe that they're already there.

But perhaps, and given your response, this is probably not at all the direction you'd want the discussion to go.
It is interesting to think about where this will be headed in the future with LLMs. Will people just ask the AI in their phone for their immediate answer and the click baity articles lose a bunch of traffic as a result? I think that is kinda inevitable.

What will that mean for bona fide quality sites? I don't know but part of me hopes that those detailed sites will flourish to offer more details than can be offered in a single LLM response. Wishful thinking perhaps.

They'll be a huge backlash of course from the click-bait sites - just like with news sites protesting about losing traffic.
AI has been trying to do this for ages. It is a classification problem not language generation so LLMs were not needed (and may be too expensive for
billions of pages)

USB is just the tip of the iceberg at the bottom of the stack. It's possible to restore and synchronize contents to and from Apple and Android phones to a computer over USB. The attack surface is therefore the OS and applications as well as the hardware including firmware of chips.
> It's not totally clear to me why simt won out over writing the vector operations.

From the user side, it is probably simpler to write an algorithm once without vectors, and have a compiler translate it to every vector ISA it supports, rather than to deal with each ISA by hand.

Besides, in many situations, having the algorithm executed sequentially or in parallel is irrelevant to the algorithm itself, so why introduce that concern?

There are definitely more userland programmers than compiler/numerical library ones.

RP5 changes the specs again and I haven't bothered to run the math yet.

Broadcom / Rasp. Pi chips have historically been _VERY_ bad at idle though compared to their peers. So I think its safe to say that RP5 will also be bad at idle (though I haven't read the spec sheets or seen any such tests yet).
While I also struggle to see the value in a service like this, I think the comment regarding a grandmother and google sheets is a tad unnecessary. Sometimes people build things just because they want to, or it brings some value to them. It doesn’t have to appeal to a wider market, and that’s fine.

According to this I can replace wheat with an acre of soil, in a recipe of pancakes for 8.

I don't think my guests will be returning. Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs might also pay me a visit if I attempt this.
I am extremely grateful to my parents who made me feel "well off" despite growing up in the 90' Russia.

Only when I got older I found out that often times they didn't have enough money to buy food. Explains the constant soup from potatoes :-)

Good education can do wonders for you though, in my personal experience.

Both me and many of my friends went to one of the best schools in the city by the virtue of living next to it. We started learning programming at 12 yo.

Now most of my peers who studied there, both from poor and rich families, live abroad having managed to get jobs at good companies.
I live in the USA and we picked our neighborhood specifically because of these things.

My kid has been going to her friend’s houses by herself since she was 5. She goes down the block (sometimes a couple of blocks! Friends of friends) to her friend’s houses. I feel like we changed the culture in the neighborhood. Kids come out and go to our house and other houses all the time. It’s a good, safe neighborhood.

Of course it just takes a few people to screw this up. Some busybody lady who felt the need to tell us she was a foster mom (okay? Maybe trying to signal what a moral person and upstanding person she was?) called CPS on us saying we were “neglecting” our child which meant a visit to verify we were not abandoning our child on the street. She later lost her job and had to move away, let me tell you I was very sad to hear it. To avoid such spurious accusations, we got our daughter an Apple Watch with cellular service, which we generally use to call her when it gets dark out.

She’s eight now, and went to Walmart by herself earlier this year several times on her bike to buy a few things. I was very proud of her!

This is extremely important to us that she be able to have this autonomy. It’s definitely not the default, though. There are a half dozen or more kids that regularly dip in and out of our house. It’s sad that some parents absolutely don’t allow their children out of their sight. There are kids just next door my daughter basically never sees because they aren’t allowed to leave their houses, despite being the same age as my kid.
Maybe. But the level of effort required to produce the drivel in the first place will also be lowered dramatically. How the overall balance will change is questionable at this point.
Someone has to put some money into everything, but the number can be low enough to be entirely donations.

> The modern internet just wouldn't function if we took entrepreneurship out of it.

I think the modern internet is specifically what we're all upset about here? That the "entrepreneurship" isn't the grand visions of spaceships and androids and electric driverless cars of Musk, it's not the "app for that" of Jobs, it's not "connecting the world" (who even said that, Zuckerberg?), it's not "organising the world's information" like early Google… it's cramming as many ads as possible into someone's field of view at all times like the villain in Ready Player One.

> But, yeah, we're having a hard time finding full-stack people that can hit the ground running with Java and Vue

Why not get people who’ve worked with Java and other frontend frameworks, or Vue and other object oriented languages? In my first coding role I knew absolutely no C#, just some JS but I was contributing to the codebase within a week. Most of the particulars of your codebase will be particular to your codebase. Find people who’ve shown they can learn and give them a few weeks rather than take months to hire a person who has last worked with your particular stack.
Yeah they're pretty far off.

This was a pretty engaging read. I don’t want to knock this person’s experience, but 30K for a family of four is just… not a lot. Which was the point of the article of course, but, it seems possible to earn more. That’s less than $15 an hour of full time work. Does his wife work? If not, why? Of course, there are families who need to scrape by on 30K out of necessity, even in expensive metro areas like NYC, so again, not discounting that. But I’m curious about how this individual person, who is clearly articulate and well spoken, with a wife that is presumably the same given the company she keeps, can only manage $15 an hour between him and his wife.

Yes, though I would say the beaglebone is also not stunning in this regard.
When I was little (20 years ago), I left the house in the morning and came back in the evening. My parents didn't really care what I did. It was the same for all the children in our small village.

We played in the forest, created tree homes, tunnels and much more. It was an incredible time which I'm certain helped me a lot in my development.

Granted, I was growing up on a farm in Germany. There wasn't much traffic or other "dangers".
A publication platform is not an archive. Those videos don't just disappear if they aren't uploaded to YouTube. They aren't as accessible to absolutely everyone of course.

On a slightly different legal note, it's not entirely clear to me what evidential value videos uploaded to YouTube have. Providence would be tricky to establish.

Does anyone know if YouTube videos have ever been used as legal evidence in court before?
I think the interesting things about the mosquito are really that it was designed for manufacture in a sense and that it was very high performance too.

It was multipurpose AND high performance. I just think we might tend always to try to specialise and think that specialisation is the highest possible good.

To turn this to software, it was powerful for Android and iOS to use languages for which a lot of developer talent existed already and to pay attention to the ease of development more than ultimate performance. Nokia used an active-objects based version of C++ which used little memory and could get good performance out of the tiny ARM chips of the day but was very hard to program for. ARM chips suddenly got better and made most of this pain unnecessary but there was no way to suddenly make the C++ dev experience better without really starting from scratch.
Had the exact same experience time and time again. Ended up having to literally write my own recipe app https://mu.app/recipes. Every so often I copy one from the internet and store it there. Saves me so much time not having to wade through a ton of Ads. The web is unusable at this point.
They can fool LLMs sure, but to what end? They need the traffic on their site to sell the ads - poisoning a LLM's response does not directly drive traffic to their individual site, so they won't profit.

I don't think that some random SEO outfit has much more money than Google or OpenAI or Microsoft - they're not going to be able to "DoS" (as it were) a LLM to trick people to come to their site and click ads.

"Much more" is misleading. The difference is usually 10%-20%, less than weight variance among gas cars. Tesla Model 3 weighs about the same as an ICE Ford Mustang.

Tire particles are relatively heavy and don't stay in the air, unlike smaller molecules and emission from combustion.

If weight was a real concern, non-business pickup trucks and large SUVs should be banned regardless of the engine they use.

> what would be a good approach to bridge the gap between the poor and the rich?

I may be speaking out of turn as I am not "rich", but I have known a few people who would be considered the "part of the 1%".

Let them develop communication skills with people that are their intellectual, but not necessarily social, peers. Broad social appeal is where the opportunities are. Take poor people out of their element and be accepting of their awkwardness. Question their assumptions in a non-threatening environment and let them grow. Let them mix with people who are not so easily offended, nor unhappy.

Many of the rich aren't so different and think about the same topics all the time, yet often just have a different and more constructive perspective.

Search engines are fucked in that scenario. Maybe we'll just need better-curated ones, or a better ranking (usefulness ratings by verified users?). And anyone can still create a website, so you can escape the AI flood.

But if Google failed to defend against SEO before LLMs, maybe the scale of the current search engines is just too big for effective moderation and we need to scale down to smaller communities.
I second that. Twitter has become kinda useless now, not adding any value to HN.

Yes, I think the clickbait sites are done long term, people will just ask the AI on their phone.

The people who were capable of writing those large detailed posts on subjects have most likely already moved to youtube or moved on.

The data that's actually useful to the LLM's will exist in places like Discord, reddit, twitter. It's pretty obvious that twitter and reddit are going to sell their data to the LLM companies for a lot of money.

Which leaves Discord, I would be very suspicious of anyone trying to buy Discord...
Cloudflare Sippy: Incrementally Migrate Data from AWS S3 to Reduce Egress Fees
About "10% of each episode is dedicated to them jumping into their voltron vehicles": it's the story as old as capitalism and it's the same reason you have those long transformations in Sailor Moon, to give an actual example, but it applies to all off the mill series in anime, western and 'western' cartoons too.

The TV time is sold as slots (usually ~30m for animation), you can't buy some arbitrary amount of time - you buy the slot, you need a serious amount of money for the prime time slots;

a TV show requires money (big amounts of money) for the every second produced;

so it's the easiest way to lower amount of money spent per episode - animate once, show multiple times.

Like in Germany, were absolutr majorities for one party basically do not exist. Hence coalition governments (we never tried a minority government like in Spain for some reason).

But claiming that 85% voted "against" the leading party getting 15% is quite a stretch. Usually coalition parties have enough common policy goals to work together, meaning interests of the electorate overlap enough as well.

Butvthisbis just like representative democracies are suppossed to work, there is nothing illegitimate or undemocratic about it. We talk about national governments and parliaments here, not the election of the student speaker for a class in elementary school.

And that majority was dully and democratically voted for.

Not really. I'm a long time Apple user. Started using macOS with the version 9 (but my first personal laptop ran OS X).
I don't consider them successful in computing. In fact my first job was at an Apple Service Provider and it was already hard to run everything useful on Macs. Now I wonder how much technology is actually actually running on Macs. Their computers are becoming glorified clients for other companies technologies.
They make make a ton of money selling a lot of small devices that are more about fashion / social statut than technology relevance nowadays.
As it is there isn't a whole lot of good reasons to start using a mac instead of anything else.
