This article doesn't really go into much detail, but this shouldn't be surprising. IT in financial services is the most insanely complicated, heavily regulated, mishmash of every technology under the sun going back about 60 years that it's a miracle it works as well as it does.

This is also why fintech/insuretech/etc startups tend to fail so spectacularly...because in almost every case they severely underestimate the difficulty and don't understand the enormous scale and expense of the past several decades of that were carried out by established and already very profitable companies.

It's incredibly hard to justify getting rid of something that already provably works (what every single person that thinks we should flip a switch and get instant payments is advocating). There is a tendency to portray financial IT services as being risk-averse...there is maybe some truth to that but I'd characterize it more like a situation where those on the outside are simply not aware of the enormous amount of risk already being taken just to make minor improvements to existing systems with 50+ years of business rules encoded into them.

For all of those reasons, FedNow looks to me like it's actually been a fantastic success so far. I'm not sure what the WSJ was expecting to see. They aren't (to my knowledge) hundreds of billions over budget and a half decade past due...that is about as good as one could have hoped for.
Try a quantized model on llama.cpp — I have an M1 Max 32Gb and it’s running fairly fast in 20Gb of memory.
That’s not true. We use syngas (about 50% H, 50% CO) in all the iron ore reduction plants built in the Us in the last few decades, and they can run almost entirely on hydrogen.

Additionally, coal wasn’t even used for making steel in the US basically at all until 1827 (charcoal has fewer impurities like the sulfur found in a lot of early coke). The US primarily used charcoal from wood even for iron production until well into the mid 1800s (and by 1884, charcoal was still used for 10% of iron and steel production in the US, and charcoal was still used in some niche areas even into the 1940s). And steam locomotives in the US were also often powered by wood in the 1800s.
Stripe has support for this, just use that. I have not done recurring with Stripe before but I’ve used it heavily and had a good experience.
The point of SRAM, especially at the L1/L2 level is having an extremely high BW and extremely low latency (a few clock cycles). So it is not really an option to put them somewhere else (although L3 and as mentioned other lower level layers) can and are already being put into either separate chiplets in the same PCB w/extremely fast ring OR directly on top of the die (3D stacking).
Of course not -all- businesses will provide EV charging to -all- employees. Tests not a realistic goal.

But lots of businesses do provide parking spaces. If your space is reserved for you, and you drive an EV, it becomes an obvious feature to add though at minimal cost.

Clearly some will do this, its likely many already do, and if you becomes a trend then it will move the needle. Not enough by itself, but a fair bit.
Of course, that only works if you can physically defend them (China probably can). Humanitarian groups in Palestine tried solar, and Israel bombed the solar fields. Fossil fuel generators and their fuel stores are much easier to hide.

Not quite, there was another developer that quietly made a lot of work in the time he was around, after Grimm just vanished shortly after those posts, and basically left the entire thing in an usable state for later. Unfortunately he left after a series of personal tragedies that rendered him unable to function for a while.

That guy never gets any credit which is rather sad. I really don't know how he still has a will to live after all that has happened to him.
Order it soon or you might not be able to. Be prepared for sticker shock too.
It should be noted that the US grid spans 3 time zones. Thus significant solar power can still be generated at 10pm EST.

That's not memory swapping but something else right? I ask because it looks like the new mistral model but slightly different.
Cache takes X number of cycles to return a result

You can make X lower by reducing the frequency (= having each cycle be longer)

But apart for that, the main reason big chips would clock slower is power, not timing. If you have a lot of transistors all switching on a high voltage so that the frequency is high, you get molten metal and the magic smoke leaves.

Big chips aren't one big stage where light travels from one side to the other. But they are giant weaves of heating elements that can't all run fast all of the time
* Deploying DNSSEC is obviously not trivial, as doing so has taken some of the largest companies on the Internet fully off the Internet for multiple hours, within the last year, so much so that it has become a running joke when companies have prolonged outages to suggest that DNSSEC is the culprit.

* There are still resolvers that can't handle Ed25519

* Being able to use Ed25519 was never the ops problem with getting DNSSEC rolled out!

* It's weird to assume that people would want to enroll their server integrity --- something that doesn't in any way depend on an Internet PKI designed to allow strangers to verify your identity, and that enlists de facto government support to make that use case work --- in a global PKI, especially when SSH already has a perfectly good certificate system that solves the same problem without any of the above liabilities.

What boggles my mind, and I mean this sincerely, not as snark, is that anybody in the entire world takes SSHFP seriously. Even if you stipulate that DNSSEC (and/or DANE) works, just arguendo, it's still a totally different use case than resolving SSH key continuity problems.
Historically the Industrial Revolution was mostly bootstrapped by hydro / biofuel power. Useful combustion engines were only invented fairly late in the process. You don’t need to start with massive dams, you need to bootstrap industry to get to that point. Even 0.1% of the worlds current electricity generation is a massive amount of energy.

There’s this idea that the Industrial Revolution ran on coal but Coal was an inferior fuel for steel production until ~1827 or so.

Eventually steam locomotives beat horse / manpower drawn canal boats, but it a close contest until surprisingly recently. Hell the last commercial cargo sailing ship was in use until the 1960’s long after nuclear power became a thing.
If we keep going down this route I have to wonder if we'll see something drastic in the cooling space.

CPU dies are optimised towards being cooled from one side. I wonder if we'll eventually see sockets, motherboards and heat spreaders shift towards cooling both sides of the CPU.

Probably not, can't imagine what a halfway feasible solution to integrating pin out and a heat spreader would be.

Then is it surprising that other nations have had near instant payments for a good while?

In case it's useful: my mother is almost 80 and she uses Zorin just fine.
My biggest problem with solar and storage is not day/week energy management we can solve that easy, add more batteries, pumped hydro, use car batteries, incentivize customers to use electricity when sun is up... All easy problem compared to seasonal storage.

Where do we get enough renewable electricity on cloudy week in December? Synthetic gas/oil produced in summer? Anything more promising?
Surely plate tectonics after a few billion years would move these disc brakes down into the Earth's mantle and melt them?
> Can I put a USB printer in the USB port of my router and get network printing?

Probably, if the router's firmware supports the feature. Usually you'll be able to use AppSocket/JetDirect <https://www.cups.org/doc/network.html>, so the printer's address would be `socket://router/`.

Printing through the router is not guaranteed to work, though. I have one 4x6 USB label printer that does not work correctly this way with my Asus router, while other USB printers do. That same printer does print correctly when using a Raspberry Pi running CUPS.

Australia in the late 90s had instant intra bank ACH transfers. Even inter bank was within 15 minutes. And not exactly a regulation free market.
Maybe there was even more to start with?
> Richer people are more often Republicans.

I'm confused. According to this graph, at each income, there are always more Democrats than Republicans, no? How does this get interpreted as "Richer people are more often Republicans"?
How do we even know those holes are 500m years old? You cannot carbon date a rock (that's when the rock formed, not when the hole was made). Perhaps we're missing evidence of earlier civilizations in plain sight

This is delightful.

Anyone found a way to beat this?

I particularly enjoyed the "live docks" clip saved on the Mac desktop.
No that isn't surprising because those were new buildouts of brand new systems that didn't exist before. In a lot of cases, those countries skipped over a whole bunch of in between phases, like how China skipped over a bunch of telecom infrastructure buildout and so managed to avoid a lot of similar issues there.

The US digitalized it's financial industries the earliest and so it has the most pre-existing infrastructure to maintain and past decisions to deal with the consequences of. The finance industry was quite literally the first major industry to computerize in the US, most other countries got started decades later due to a lot of factors but mostly either poverty, being behind the iron curtain, or lack of access to reliable computers.

It's always more difficult when you have millions of active users and SLAs to abide by, and regulators and auditors that are aware of every possible thing that can go wrong and that they should be asking questions about.
Incidentally, don't call Taiwan a "neighboring country" when in mainland China.
I think I'd be a lot more excited about this if it didn't seem to be bought into the wayland hype train.

I feel like they made a lot of good decisions in being simple enough without too simple, and backwards compatible enough without too much legacy... but imho wayland doesn't fit in that same space for me (at least not yet.)
In addition to the answers already given, there are defects during the process that are more likely to render your chip useless the larger your chip is. This is true for smaller chips as well, and often the design handles a defunct component, but you prefer minimizing defects per chip.

> Interesting that not long time ago USA was at the forefront of world technology. But nowadays not so much.

The entrenched players figured out that they could instead of develop, research, and make new stuff, they could cripple existing stuff, and turn everything into a rental. And the players who showed up figured the exact same.

What do we get? A stagnating country. And nobody is willing to budge.

Every time I try to look, I just get depressed. There is no voting our way out of this. We're solidly on our way to 3rd world nation status... in fact much of the internal parts of our country are exactly that.

> Even more worrying it's China that in many areas leads the world - best highway, railroad, 5G networks, digital payments everywhere, huge production of electric cars, buses and batteries.

Whereas the USA can't get get its thumbs out of its collective asses to build even a moderately decent train network. The USA is a failing state. Can't wait till they start lashing out with all their hyper-futuristic weaponry our money goes to.
I think the interesting thing about this is how many lauded, and still laud, the decision to do things like this when it comes to Steve Jobs, and then to go for the jugular about other companies faking aspects of demos.

And before you say "Well, that wasn't really the meat of the demo, no big deal", all those ads that now say "sequences shortened" or similar when it comes to things happening on phones or computers? That came about because Apple was notorious for trying to show how much "faster" everything was on Apple devices (I want to say this started with the iPhone 4 and Siri), but was threatened with sanctions and lawsuits for shortening interactions to do so without making that obvious.
The slope of the increase for democrats also appears steeper than the slope for republicans as wealth increases past 100k. So the graph's title "richer people are increasingly republican" doesn't seem accurate either. There is a clear inflection point in the graph around 100k.
I love these "to see if I could" type of projects. I really miss the days of those cable connectors as they're not yet too small to make DIYing anything with them easy. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there's a InstaSnapGramX low bit filter for the lulz
chimera is designed to solve many issues other distros have; this includes e.g. the poor state of toolchain security hardening (you won't find any other distro with the same practical scope that's more strongly hardened in builds)

cbuild is also designed to solve real issues, particularly proper sandboxing and linting of builds to allow for a small team to maintain it while at the same time being fast and ensuring correctness (distro build systems often tend to be bash/make monstrosities that do nowhere near enough where they need to while doing too much where they shouldn't)

i used to work on void, and there are good reasons i went to start a new project instead; this includes poor quality packaging for a lot of void stuff (by part caused by xbps-src design choices), poor platform support (all non-x86 stuff is buggy, partly because of cross-compiling and not running unit tests for things being built) and state of infrastructure, design issues of xbps itself (lack of solver, poor implementation of shlibs system and virtual packages, etc.), lacking service management (no oneshots, no transparent/standardized support for user services, no support for dependencies, no support for service-integrated dbus activation etc.), lots of stuff sticks with legacy nonsense where systemd has taken over and improved things in the meantime (e.g. handling of dbus, user management and tmpfiles management, user services as mentioned before, etc), and so on and so on

we are also addressing the whole thing with "everybody has adopted systemd and its functionality, and distros without systemd have instead stuck their head in the sand and pretend systemd is the devil and implement none of the stuff people want" which is leading to increased dependence on systemd in various upstreams, and an increasing amount of bad hacks in non-systemd systems

supporting a lot of architectures is not something to regret, it's a good goal to have and aids keeping the ecosystem healthy as well as giving people the choice of running the system on hardware they like; any pain caused by supporting multiple archs pays off several times

> market definition was arguably the deciding factor in the Apple case, when Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers singlehandedly decided the proper market definition was “digital mobile gaming transactions,” a market where Apple’s 30 percent cut looked relatively fair, since Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo nominally charge the same rate.

If a judge is going to order Apple to charge Epic a lower platform fee for Fortnite than what Epic is already paying to Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo (and Google?) presumably there should be a good reason.
"FS check" makes sense, but I had never made that connection to the name. So, while I have always been saying "FS tab", I've also always said "eff sick" because I didn't know how you were supposed to pronounce it and thought of the name as gibberish.
good news for you then, since there is a full distribution of xorg in the contrib repo and it's not expected to go away anytime soon (if ever)

And yet Chinese nationals are clamoring to buy real estate in the US in order to secure their assets.

Would you rather be given $10M in a US bank account, or $10M worth of Yuan in a Chinese bank account?
> The more than 300 banks it has said are using the platform represent a fraction of the roughly 9,000 U.S. banks and credit unions.

The article claims big banks lobbying with their own competitor to FedNow delayed the rollout of real-time payments, according to those industry officials. But another factor I want to point out is that the USA has more small banks (and, I assume, credit unions) than any other country on Earth; affecting the ability for the network effects of a real-time payment system to take hold.

"The U.S. has more than 4,000 small banks. That's more than any other country in the world and more than all of the small banks in the entire European Union combined."

https://www.npr.org/2023/05/04/1173488958/silicon-valley-ban...

I am a member of one of the 20 largest credit unions in the US but they only allow to receive FedNow payments. Not send them. I am assuming it is expensive to setup and many small financial institutions may not be able to support it for years down the line.
Examples as practically silly as the principle itself, which can't help you decide since inaction also has risks and second order and other effects (cue historical example of a natural disaster because some fences stood in the way)

> The original employees who helped the company grow initially notice the change and realize things are not how they were before. Of course they can afford to buy their own sodas. But suddenly having to is just an unmissable sign that the company’s culture is changing, which can be enough to prompt the most talented people to jump ship. Attempting to save a relatively small amount of money ends up costing far more in employee turnover. The new CFO didn’t consider why that fence was up in the first place.

What if the change the original employees notice is the hiring of the new CFO??? Should the entrepreneur not have done that? Has he even thought of that? In what world can you be so precise in you understanding of any organization to tie some stupid snacks to turnover in your group of most talented people?

Wait, what? Aren't these the same people who tried to rug-pull the D&D license and caused a bunch of MtG drama with new cards that almost crashed the card market? Perhaps those decrees came from Hasbro, but we outsiders can't really know that, can we?
And the US nationals are also buying everywhere they can. But you avoid THAT discussion.

Try harder.
building with full optimizations and lots of 3rd party libraries (esp if they are c++ or use lots of swift-generics w/type inference) can indeed take that long caused by lots of inlining, de-virtualization, static specialization, whole module optimization and static linking (or just linking in general)...

a comparable clean build with debug flags (no optimization) might only take a few minutes with incremental builds taking a few seconds or so, i guess thats why its tolerated...

the other thing is ci build pipelines are reaaallly slow so if you made the same build locally on your m1 pro its probably gonna take 1/4 the time as the ci (ime anyways)...many ci's are slow af....

You are completely ignoring many countries here that have had instant, free transfers since the 90s.

It never ceases to amaze the lengths Americans will go to explaining why they are behind the rest of the world in some way or other while trying as hard as possible not to say "because profit".
As an American, I never knew #1 was American practice and have only ever used option #2 my entire career. #1 makes no sense.
Sounds pretty much like the kind of stuff he pulled for the presentation of the Macintosh in 1984. Fake it until you make it.
In the US, there are other weird complications if prices were rounded to the nearest nickel. One that is not mentioned much is that some large businesses have used the last digit of the price to encode metadata for decades. It is the equivalent of a tagged pointer in software, except the extra bits are buried in the least significant digit of the price, precisely because changing the value by a couple cents was below the pricing noise floor. I have to imagine quantizing prices to the nearest nickel would create Y2K-like software problems for some companies which makes them an interested party in maintaining the status quo.
Of course because China's an authoritarian country and corrupt will lose their heads if they get caught.

The worse thing is that the west providing a place for corrupt individuals.

that said, scudo is highly configurable, and the performance reflects the configuration (you can even swap out the primary allocator, secondary cache, you can tune all the parameters, the TSD registry implementation has a big impact on multithreaded code, etc.), so it's not 100% representative - chimera's current configuration is further tweaked for both better performance and lower memory usage

scudo being this configurable is excellent because it is what enables such integration in the first place (other allocators e.g. frequently rely on ELF TLS, i.e. __thread and the likes, which would make libc integration very difficult and would require major changes to the dynamic linker, with scudo we instead implement a custom TSD registry and simply shove an extra pointer in the pthread structure)
They said "it was possible" and maybe so, but not with any of the tooling we had in those days lol.
