This is not what's happening here. The systems don't have a disk, period. The bootloader downloads an OS image from a provisioning server into RAM that's verified and then run. Past the bootloader, the system doesn't have access to the provisioning server. Every program the server needs or may need to run at one point is already in memory. Outside of RAM there is nowhere to read more data from, not even a read-only disk, nor anywhere to write it to.
I know. That was my point. People are in an uproar, but I bet a lot of them use Spark, etc.
Well, you often can do that. Gmail supports adding IMAP accounts, for example.

iOS mail app allows it and all that data is synced to iCloud for most people. We just trust Apple isn't snooping.

Heck, each keystroke does this on a lot of websites, usually the culprit is some kind of overly ambitious search function. My biggest pet peeve is trying to type something via phone keyboard and losing half the word because it's ignoring inputs made while it's waiting on some http request. I notice the worst offenders are retailer websites (Menards, Target, Walmart, etc)

Sure, but when your game is selling in the double digits, that's not something you can bet on. Discoverability is a multiplier and if an indies' is very low, Valve doesn't help there. You gotta pay $100, so I need at least 14 people to "stumble" and buy my game just to pay that back. Then I need 140 people so I can get that $100 back.

If valve wants to earn those 3 dollars, they need to ensure my game can be discovered to begin with. "becsuse there's a lot of people on steam" doesn't cut it these days. That was valuable at one point but I'd say aroind 2014 or so it ceased to be so.
I have a background in running 150,000+ GPUs in all sorts of environments.

I'm in the process of building a new GPU based supercomputer and we are going with an air cooled datacenter with a 1.02 PUE, while everyone else is going with 1.4 PUE.

We confirmed with our vendors that air cooling is just fine. The machines will automatically shut down to protect themselves if they get too hot, but I doubt that will happen because we just expel the hot air immediately.

Show HN: Resume Reviews Powered by GPT4 and Career Coaches
Hello HN community,

I have created resumechecker.ai, an AI-powered tool for resume reviews. After speaking with 20 career coaches, it was discovered that >90% of resumes fail to impress. Most of us talk about responsibilities, not achievements.

Why It Matters:
Writing a compelling resume is challenging, and this tool aims to simplify that process. Using OpenAI's API, resumechecker.ai offers detailed, personalized feedback to enhance resume quality.

Key Features:
AI Analysis for in-depth feedback.
Actionable suggestions with detailed reasoning.
Tailored recommendations to showcase achievements and skills.

Privacy-focused:
No account is needed, email addresses and resume data aren't stored.
They are used only for delivering the review.

Outcome:
You can see an example review on the website.
Some of the career coaches are using the tool to help their candidates :)
Resumechecker was designed for job seekers to create resumes that stand out, increasing their chances of getting noticed and hired.

Hope it can help you too~
I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
Anyone remember Rackable Systems Inc.? Their selling point was all about reducing data center costs by doing all the DC conversion in these massive converters at the top of the cage. They supplied something like 48v down rails in the back of the cage that their servers would then plug into via special connectors on the back of each server. They promised more efficient power conversion and better thermal management amongst other things.

I was never comfortable working with/around that stuff. I was always worried about a mishap that could bring me (or the cage itself) into contact with 48v of pure DC doom.
Maybe a minor thing, but also interesting to highlight Raspberry Pi blog layout, not polluted with "subscribe me please" crap.

Quite reassuring that there are still nice places on the internet.
Even if you're not memory bandwidth bound, leveraging these 2x FLOPs on recent designs is hard, often due to issues like register bank clashes.

They are low utilization, but apparently still worth it because process node changes have made more ALUs take relatively little area. So doubling the ALU count, even with low utilization is still apparently an overall benefit (ie, there wasn't something better to spend that die space on).
So which of my statements do you take issue with?

I do think highly of Rob Pike and Ken Thompson for their IT work, but they are simply not good at language design, which just shows that PL design is quite unlike working on an OS.

Seawater erodes everything it touches. It isn’t impossible to build hardware that touches it, but it’s more expensive and needs more maintenance.

Fresh water makes the entire project much cheaper.
“If you are trying to login to IMAP hosted by Google or Fastmail, why should Microsoft need to be contacted let alone given the password?” is how I read the article…

Now, I know the answer is so that you can have push notifications sent to your mobile phone with every IMAP poll Microsoft does on your behalf, but that’s because the architecture of the new Outlook app likely borrows features of the Accompli mobile app they bought and maintained as Outlook mobile. That the desktop app re-uses the same APIs as the mobile app rather than process mail locally makes sense from a code reuse and efficiency standpoint, but really only because your accounts can seamlessly carry over to all your devices.

It’s arguable that the distinction between keeping your password in the cloud and keeping your password local is a security risk. However, if you previously used Outlook.com to check your IMAP email, and maybe this is where the feature derives from, then you already provided your IMAP password to Microsoft on the web. Likewise Google for importing IMAP to Gmail. We do this because it is nicer to get one inbox and one push notification across multiple accounts - when we want cloud providers checking emails for us.

It is less clear why a desktop app would do this unless you opted in to fancier service of some kind - e.g. viewing emails on the web when not at this device, or push notifications to your mobile phone, etc.

If Microsoft wanted to read your emails even with a locally stored and never shared IMAP password, they could still send telemetry derived from the local client to build an advertising profile based on local emails, or to display targeted ads. They don’t technically need your password to read your emails if you are using their email client.
The Wormwood Trilogy by Tade Thompson[1] blew my mind. Most of the story takes place in Nigeria. The author was born in the UK but grew up in Nigeria.

Tamsyn Muir[2] is from New Zealand. Her Locked Tomb series is sci-fi/fantasy/horror but ... funny? The books get more out there as the series progresses.

I know Muir was nominated for / won a few Hugos so yeah I bet your idea of checking those awards is a good one.

However, it sparked an interest in having a theremin - so perhaps it'll make a return!

> It used to be that everyone would dream of making a startup that big tech would acquihire.

> It’s so tame, so complicit. Hackerdom is now mostly about obscene levels of money and status?

The goal of many who make a startup that big tech would acquihire _is_ about achieving obscene levels of money and status. If they're acquihiring you then by definition you no longer have full say about what the business does. If it really was about making something, the best something you can, then you would resist being acquihired.

You move to get acquihired to get paid.

"There will be eventually a day when your entire claims packet is on the same website as your EOBs, and you can click a link to report a mistake. The companies will have to act on your reported mistakes, because a paper trail that says they did something illegal is super bad for the shareholders. It takes time, but journalism like this is what gets it started. If you feel depressed, don't. The system is slow, but the system is working. This is what we have democracy and a free press for!"

The second amendment experiment has been a disaster. No other country wants to replicate it.

> Not to mention the reality that gun manufacturing is now worldwide, achievable at home and this can never ever be regulated for the rest of history.

You can’t make illegal drugs in your home, why do you expect that the manufacture or firearms can’t be regulated? I am guessing you mean that it will not be practically feasible to prevent people from making their own firearms. I would say that it depends upon the penalty.
A smart man once said “A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.”

This would’ve been quite obvious to someone fleeing Germany in the 1930’s after seeing what happens when the people are panicked and afraid and a charismatic leader says “I know whose fault this is and I can fix it!”
Political debate is such a waste of time. Why bother? Instead, write a book wrapping up all of your pet hates in the form of an antagonist, point a neon sign at them calling them evil, then use them to 'prove' that anything superficially similar in real life is also evil. AI? IDK, sounds a bit like Skynet! Once it's in a book or a film, it's unassailable.

Hopefully the new Dune films will maintain its political leanings so a new generation will be able to 'prove' the rationality of feudalism and the radical efficiency of military sapphism.

I appreciate the research and comparisons, but framing it like "what if we replaced..." is childish. I hunt with a traditional bow for my own reasons, and also hunt with rifles. It's interesting on its own to compare them and talk about their history, and the transitionary period where they were both used in combat. But it kind of ruins the story to trot out a silly argument like it's worth serious consideration.

Science fiction: a genre of speculative fiction, which typically deals with imaginative and futuristic concepts.

Given sci-fi authors regularly speculate about all sorts of potential futures (and presents), is it really that hard to imagine that some of these futures might come true in some shape or form? It's really rich to trace modern implementations to decades-old ideas and then claim you were the one to create them. Get to pat oneself on the back while wagging a finger at the folks actually doing the building. Zuck's Metaverse would've likely existed without Snow Crash, though probably with a different name. And Motorola Razr would have likely existed without Star Trek communicators. I am not saying that all modern innovations are good ones or that some inspiration didn't take place, I just find the argument that their existence is entirely rooted in science fiction a weak one and full of survivorship bias.

I conceptualize Typescript as an advanced linter. The teams building the TS spec want Typescript concepts to map closely to the usually much-looser Javascript counterpart if it exists, so you get a weird syntax that makes promises the underlying "thing" can't hold up. (Especially if you're coming from Java/C# to Typescript.) If you just treat it like a tool to better describe Javascript though, and catch SOME statically analyzable bugs, it works great at what it does.

Hey thanks for the checking Moddio out! There are a bunch of free multiplayer features such as netcode and server orchestration, and social features like moderation and in-game chat. So all the backend tech is already included with every game. Single player games are still possible, but having all the aforementioned built in features makes multiplayer games really easy to make.

They have excellent documentation, and their register-level APIs are relatively high level.

Most of their chips fall into this or a related niche: good-enough computating and IO capabilities with RF for battery-powered devices. If I were to build something like this, they'd be my top choice.

I wish they would move away from the third-party suppliers for making their integrated modules. So you could buy a 'nRF-53 module with antenna' instead of browsing third party websites.

Speaking of competing with China: A Wi-Fi-capable Nordic chip is a glaring omission in their lineup. Give Espressif some competition!

There are plenty of examples of it working (e.g. researchers from F-Secure presented at SEC-T conference in 2018 with a cold-boot against Bitlocker), but I haven't seen a LEA or government come out and say "we got access to X via a cold-boot attack".
I would say the difference is the level of awareness and context for the two viewpoints. The author is more aware of what the other authors were really saying. The billionaires couldn’t do what they are doing if they were that aware, so instead they can’t help but grab significantly more out-of-context aspects of interesting worldviews and tie them together just enough to mask their limited time and interest in a more considered perspective.

If the author were advocating for anticompetitive business practices and trying to use them to further his science fiction financial success based on a perusal of recent management texts, that is where we could say the same thing about the author that we can say in this context about the billionaires.

There's certainly some kind of tendency among a certain swathe of startup founders and others in business, who somehow fancy themselves to be philosophers or gurus because they've gone through what's been construed as a "startup rite of passage" and have attained some kind of apotheosis. It's essentially a species of the American mythology of "success".
Just very far.
The reason they do this is to have a low headline price, yet push you into upgrading more than just the RAM. Customers see the low 'starting from' price, but then get pushed into upgrading for more RAM. At which point they see that they can change for a more powerful machine with the same RAM for only a bit more. You come in for an M3, but walk out with the M3 Pro.

"This feature might seem like a way for a malicious thread to get more than its share of the available CPU time. The EEVDF scheduler that will be featured in the 6.6 kernel release, though, will note that a thread has gotten more than its share of CPU time and penalize it thereafter."

This talks about fairness between threads, and is from my understanding also how the current CFS scheduler approaches fairness. I also understand that fairness on a process level might be difficult to obtain.

But doesn't this thread level fairness render the point of a "malicous thread" moot? Fairness of threads within a process is pointless anyway, because this is all in the hands of the programmer and all they can do is shoot themselves in their own feet.

Fairness between processes would be interesting but we don't have it anyway, so deferred scheduling doesn't make the situation worse in that regard?
