The US government has been pretty clear why they are doing this and the purpose of the “chip war”.

Nvidia and other businesses have been handed an olive branch but allowing them to sell things the US government considers inconsequential to China to make a few bucks. If Nvidia decides to abuse this privilege, the olive branch might just get taken back.
It depends.

I personally use DigitalOcean but now that Hetzner is starting to get US data centers that is looking like a good option too.

With no other context, if I were creating a startup today I'd likely go with DigitalOcean.

AWS is also another option, especially if you think you'll be using some of their services.

But for a typical web app + SQL database + cache + object storage set up DO works nicely, although I would still use S3 for object storage even though DO has it, I find S3 to be more dependable.

To clarify, genomic data was not reported stolen. It sounds like the breach was about genealogical data.

The stolen data included the person’s name, birth year, relationship labels, the percentage of DNA shared with relatives, ancestry reports and self-reported location.

Good.

> They were all forgettable and devoid of personality

Are you similarly upset that books are so "devoid of personality"?

The work of a book designer differs essentially from that of a graphic artist. While the latter is constantly searching for new means of expression, driven at the very least by his desire for a "personal style", a book designer has to be the loyal and tactful servant of the written word. It is his job to create a manner of presentation whose form neither overshadows nor patronizes the content [... whereas] work of the graphic artist must correspond to the needs of the day and, other than in collections, seldom lives on for any length of time[...] The aim of the graphic artist is self-expression, while the responsible book designer, conscious of his obligation, divests himself of this ambition. Book design is no field for those who desire to mint the style of today or to create something. --Tschichold, on the form of the book

We should be so lucky if web designers grew up and subordinated their impulses—of imparting their (eventually unfashionable) "personal styles"—to their duty to serve the page and the content the way that it is done with books.
The post I was replying to said that despite being open source, nobody reads the code for Chromium and Firefox. This isn't true because people are paid to read that code. Nonetheless, anyone can still read it if they want to. This means that it's at least marginally higher risk for a state actor trying to get code into these codebases than a proprietary codebase.

As I said, I think it's still pretty unlikely that Microsoft products are compromised by a state actor. It's certainly not part of my threat model. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make though. I certainly wouldn't install a system-wide HTTP proxy from a developer I didn't trust. And I don't have much of a choice but to trust Microsoft, their products are so ubiquitous I often have little choice.
Quantum information can be negative
What do you think of KV SSDs?
I'm also bummed by this and I think it's a major sad example of how poor measurables can really pervert a market (granted, in combination with proprietariness and network effects). SSDs have long been lumped together and measured almost entirely by a few high level sticker numbers that companies themselves loved to trumpet because they are high but are primarily relevant to specific DC/server/(certain)workstation workloads, not the common consumer case. Essentially sequential read, write, and then some random r/w, but all performed with high queue depths and a single block size. Typical users aren't exactly running at QD32 all the time. Storage performance is an area where use cases and edge cases matter, and the measures the industry settled on didn't do a good job of conveying that. Only a few places (like Anandtech back in the day) did a solid regularly job of checking 90/95/99/99.9[n] percentile latency, low queue depths, varied blocks, and you still had to dig into it.

So as a result Optane didn't look on the marketing or even in typical reviews any different then competing NAND-based solutions, or heck would even look slower. And lore developed on the internet even amongst tech folks that it "only made a difference on servers". But I was fortunate enough to grab a few to use for core storage and wow is it noticeable, I've built lots of regular SSD big arrays and they look great at simple patterns with large blocks and then one gets into regular workloads and they absolutely tank, with occasional noticeable blips when garbage collecting or the like gets hit. Better than spinning rust overall, but surprisingly not by much sometimes. Whereas Optane is rock solid consistent no matter what.

Intel and Micron were really dumb in how they tried to use it and push it, but I think it's too bad as well it never really got much popular recognition in terms of differences with NAND. A lot focuses on "closer to RAM" but it was also a better SSD.
I mean, what is your threat model, and what are you trying to get out of DNA/ancestry services?

If you're worried about getting arrested for one of the many crimes you've committed, and you want to meet far-flung relatives, you're kind of in a bind here. Assuming unlimited cooperation between the police and the DNA/ancestry services -- which your threat model in this case would require -- even if they don't have your name or address, they could fabricate a half-sibling/double-cousin in the system and have them reach out to you. What, are you not going to talk to and eventually meet the cop pretending to be your previously unknown half-sibling/double-cousin?
Switzerland has no real natural resources, no access to the sea for trade routes, it's mostly just mountains. Many many years ago, Swiss people were so dirt poor, that they had to sell their life to the highest bidder. Thus it fielded one of the largest mercenary armies in Europe.
Why Switzerland is kinda rich now, is thanks to Napoleon and the congress of Vienna in 1815. There it was decided that Switzerland shall stay neutral forever.
Thanks to that it didn't got destroyed in the last two wars like the rest of Europe.

So it is not like that the Swiss were not as poor as the rest of Europe back then, but everyone else got royally screwed in the wars, except the Swiss. In that time they could catch up quite a bit, because after the war, Switzerland still had fully functioning factories and manufacturing.

This also provides some context to the current discussion about 'neutrality' and why many people want to keep it. After all, this policy has proven to be very beneficial for 208 years already.

Does the elisp interpreter that runs emacs have jit?
That's an easy way to accumulate data corruption.

It's better to design for unexpected restarts than design for a golden in-memory image which needs to be carefully ported around, have all its connections wired back up, and so on.

You're going to get unexpected restarts anyway. The faster and more reliable you can make recovery from that, it benefits you in the moving use case. The kinds of things you might want to do to enable reliable restart - like retry mechanisms for incoming requests - make migration work too.
Doesn't the image caption contain a prompt?

When i use it in DALL-E 3, I get similar images.

"The image depicts an experiment in which heavy particles(illustrated as the moon), cause an interference pattern (a quantum effect), while also bendingspacetime. The hanging pendulums depict the measurement of spacetime. The actual experiment istypically performed using Carbon-60, one of the largest known molecules. The UCL calculationindicates that the experiment should also be performed using higher density atoms such as gold. The other two images represent the two experiments proposed by the UCL group, both of whichconstrain any theory where spacetime is treated classically. One is the weighing of a mass, the otheris an interference experiment."
> you still have the remainder of the US

It would be strange to compare a capital of one country to the countryside of another.
I think it is a safe bet to assume that those integrated industries have strong correlation with the manufacturing output. Especially in Czechia, which had the most advanced independent indigenous car R&D and manufacturing in the region before the fall of the iron curtain. I get that you are proud of the Romanian industry, which does have its merits, but in CEE it is not one of the biggest ones as you suggested in your GP comment. Czechia is the no.1 player in that field imo.

Google is not a saint. GPL violations are egregious, too, But except Bard, Google (the search engine) doesn't provide you source code stripped from its license.

Something being common practice doesn't make it legal. Jaywalking, downloading ripped music and movies from torrent trackers and cracking licensed software products come into my mind.

I'm not happy with the edge routing, it's ok in most cases, but it could be so much better. It's definitely where most of the upcoming development time will go.
I'll bite the bullet and make something custom with what I can learn from react-fow-smart-edge and https://medium.com/swlh/routing-orthogonal-diagram-connector..., I really really want the edges not to overlap, but be a bit spaced out, so it's clear where each one goes.
The only resentment I have with Bitcoin and any other crypto is that they try to be "decentralized", but the moment the developers of your main node/wallet app are under a payroll, funded by a business, crypto is no longer decentralized.

Bitcoin Core, long ago, was "purchased" by Blockstream and they started pushing their own agenda for the protocol, and Luke Jr is one of the devs on their payroll.

Yes, of course, you can create your own wallet or node but unless 51% of the network uses it, your protocol changes will never reach the whole network.

You then obviously don't know the history. One notable thing to mention is that Russia started as Principality of Moscow, a vassal state to Mongols, a collector of tribute for Mongols. Taking their own share from this tribute allowed them to prosper.

This is how it is for me as well, once you learn 24h time it's about as simple as can be, and I learned when I was a kid. I don't think I've ever lived anywhere where 24h time was the norm for writing/displaying though - or maybe I just didn't notice because I'm fine with it.

I am surprised. I may have had to restore only one computer in a decade because of a hard drive failure.

I think full disc backup is rarely seen on linux systems because the system itself make it so easy to reinstall the way it was.

The only thing I really need to backup to be able to reinstall quickly my fedora is:

- the list of rpm groups and packages that are installed

- the list of flatpak apps that are installed

- a backup of my homedir

- a tarball of /etc

- a kickstart file describing the installation, partitionning, etc.

You don't even need a pxe + tftp server to install from kickstart, just a netinstall iso image and you can pass the `ip=dhcp` and `ks=http://somelocalip/ks.cfg` network parameters at boot to initiate install

It may take a bit more than 30 minutes to reinstall + restoring /home and /etc but you are rolling up again quite quickly. In fact I have tested it much more than I have needed it.

... Eh? The first eGolf (ignoring weirdo historical electric Golf variants; VW has occasionally dabbled since the 70s) was delivered a year before the first Tesla S, though for a pilot scheme in California; they didn't hit normal retail til a year or so after. The eUp came out in the same timeframe. Commercial deliveries of Tesla Ses, eUps, and eGolfs all started within a couple of months of each other. By the time Tesla got around to launching an electric car that didn't cost like 100,000 EUR, VW had been making such cars for years.

I think VW maybe made a marketing mistake by making the eGolf and eUp so... non-obvious (there was really almost no way to tell they weren't a normal Golf/Up from the outside); it lead people to believe that the ID.3/4/5 were their first electric cars.

It can be, but the divide isn't as pronounced as it was in the late 90s and early 00s. I know that RTL engineers tend to make more than most software engineers nowadays.

My previous housemate worked in the tech recruitment industry, and he told me that the top end of the semiconductor industry tended to always pay better than the software industry, provided you excluded finance from the mix (where hardware engineers don't generally get a foot in outside of designing chips for HFT). Equally, though, the bottom of the scale was lower.

My personal experience supports that conclusion. As a graduate, my starting salary was dramatically lower than my university friends who went into software, but the jump in pay between grades proved to be much more dramatic.

Ok, technically we both used the weasel word 'can' so we are both right.

But even on ARM, these days store releases and load acquires, while not as free as on x86 are very cheap.

To make my statement more precise, typically what is still expensive pretty much everywhere is anything with #StoreLoad barrier semantics, which is what you need to acquire a mutex.

That license is not relevant here, thats for relatively recent bodies where you want to dig them up to move them to a different grave or cremate them or something.

The most relevant thing here is that the remains are being taken outside the UK (the study is being done by US and Australian universities) so you need some permission to export them.

While I agree it's a perfect counter-argument to that, is that what people always say? I'm not sure I've heard that argument as much as "why do you care so much about privacy?" full stop. As in, they don't really understand why anyone should care about privacy. And this isn't really a counter argument to that, any more than any other breach. And to be fair it's not really even a counter argument to that until you show the harm that came from it. What do you think will happen to people who had their ancestry data stolen here?
Chandrayaan-3 Propulsion Module Moved from Lunar Orbit to Earth's Orbit
In theory Symbian had huge potential as a vendor-independent smartphone OS. There was a couple of years in the early 2000s when it was used by Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and Motorola. By all rights it should have occupied the position that Android eventually did.

But Symbian’s fatal flaw was that it was too early to everything.

The software design was based on mid-1990s assumptions of what smartphones might need to do and what resources they’d have available. Everything started from a constrained embedded mindset. Meanwhile Apple built their mobile OS by scaling down their desktop OS which had originally been a high-end workstation OS. The phone guys couldn’t understand that was even possible.

The Symbian business model was similarly captive to the past. Open source wasn’t a serious thing when Nokia, Ericsson and Psion set up the Symbian corporation originally in the 1990s. So everything was a complicated licensing game. Worse, the vendors tried to outdo each other by creating incompatible but similar implementations of fundamental UX, so there wasn’t even a single Symbian for developers to target. This practically doomed it as an apps platform at a critical time.

There have also been a number of false positives because many believe that DNA is infallible. What people tend to forget is that DNA tests used by law enforcement is only using a very small subset of DNA markers. This mean that if you're already in a DNA database you can get an unpleasant knock on the door just because you have 10 DNA markers in common with some random criminal.

Danish police only upgraded from 10 DNA markers to 16 in 2021, forcing them to review 12.000 cases and redoing the DNA test. Resulting in at least one person having the sentence reversed. No word on how many was falsely suspected, but I assume more than a few.
