I used to do that when I started out with C/C++...15 years ago. Now my patience is running out after 10 minutes. Tooling has become so much better, but it seems not that much with some C/C++ projects. At least the build times are better, I remember big libs would could take hours to build.

I've worked on similar stuff in the past at Google and you couldn't be more wrong. For example, if your CPU screwed up an AES calculation involved in wrapping an encryption key, you might end up with fairly large amounts of data that can't be decrypted anymore. Sometimes the failures are symmetric enough that the same machine might be able to decrypt the data it corrupted, which means a single machine might not be able to easily detect such problems.

We used to run extensive crypto self testing as part of the initialization of our KMS service for that reason.
And VVVVV doesn't! :)
That makes me wonder whether an LLM for code generation could actually work for OpenSCAD-style designs as well, especially as it has a quite small set of functions. The only thing that makes me doubtful is that the coordinates have to correctly map to 3D space.
I don't know why you got downvoted, but "grok" is the Martian word for "understand deeply" from Robert Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land".
This feels to me like an order from a Chinese project manager to have their code "obfuscated". The developers had to comply and put something that satisfies him. This doesn't matter in the least, and the conspiracy theories about this being used for military or intelligence purposes are ridiculous. Any obfuscation will be overcome and the only way around it is for DJI to release both their own hardware and software.
It really depends where you live eh.

10 years ago I "reverse engineered" the protocol of their controllers so that I could use it for drone simulators on my PC. When plugging in the controller to update the firmware, I noticed their software could read stick positions. So I just dumped all the data on the serial and looked at what changed and what remained static when moving one stick all the way to the left, right etc. And just copied the patterns of whatever the software used to prod the controller. Then I used a joystick library to emulate my readings as an xbox controller.

The point with SMR is to overlap tracks like roof shingles, since the read heads can read a narrower track than the write heads can write.

In addition, the heads have multiple levels of independent actuation beyond the shared arm itself[1][2].

So as long as the tracks themselves are fairly consistent, I don't see why the number of sectors per track has to be equal.

Microsoft designed the Xbox in such a way to be very resistant to exploits. I'd have no doubt if there was a viable one in the wild they could patch, they would.

They also only agreed to put their games on GeForce Now to be able to buy Activision.

And Windows is still a Microsoft platform. They don't benefit as much from game sales but they do still benefit overall in keeping gamers there instead of migrating to PS5 or Linux.

Earth's "plasmaspheric hiss" protects against a harmful radiation belt (2014)
I have an open source project that uses Skia, and I just keep static libraries for all target platforms because the Skia build process is so painful.

Maybe once a year I bite the bullet, do a new Skia build on all the platforms, and then I have to figure out how the C++ API has changed. At least that’s just rote work of fixing compiler errors by looking at the new header files.

Even though it’s a pain in the ass, I still use Skia because it’s got the best combination of performance and features. Sadly Cairo doesn’t quite compete. Skia gives my project a pretty good guarantee that 2D graphics render like in Chrome, and that’s important for this use case.

I think it's less about LLMs suddenly hitting a theoretical ceiling or politics getting a grip on the industry. But there is a very real threat from actual open AI research. Free models have advanced remarkably and if you choose to, you can run something between GPT3.5 and GPT4 all by yourself right now. With the spread of cloud GPU providers, this could become cheaper than anything OpenAI offers very soon. I fully expect a GPT-4 (or better) level open weights model before this year is over. Right now OpenAI is desperately trying to differentiate itself from other chat model providers by offering tons of side features on the backend that have little to do with the LLM itself. That might lock in some of the bigger customers for a while, but this strategy isn't sustainable for long in the current climate.

> Small YouTube channels seem to be where it's at for now - but even then it's sometimes hard to tell if it's an honest review, or a paid video, and YouTubers do a terrible job disclosing paid promotion/free products.

The problem with smaller ones is, that it can be a good honest channel today, get an "offer they can't refuse" and promote some crap for a few thousand dollars/euros overnight.

Dave from the eevblog, AvE, Great scott!, bigclive, and maybe a few others are the ones I'd trust, because they show the ugly details of most products. Project farm also does many item comparisons, but most of the brands are unavailable here. All of them pretty big and popular channels, but most go very deep into specifics. For random (mostly kitchen and as-seen-on-tv) items, "Freakin' reviews" seems to be pretty genuine (electronics are much closer to my area of expertise), but I seem to notice many failure points in random gadgets and the guy from this channel points them out directly, with all the problems associated with them.

Again... i'm not affiliated with any of them, most of them show a lot of shitty items (even popular ones), and well.. call them shitty as they are, so maybe I'm biased because of the number of bad reviews they produce and very few good ones, but i've bought stuff they recommended and liked it a lot. You cannot compare this to eg. "unbox therapy" where almost every item is clearly sponsored and you can see it in the "very good" reviews they get, even if they're shitty things.

> C is incredibly easy to grok.

what does this mean, though? writing good, secure C is so hard that literally no one can do it at scale. not Linus, not Theo, not even djb.

why do you find "learning enough to write bad code isn't very hard" to be valuable?

I'm not even really convinced that C is that useful as an approximation of "how computers work" anymore - caches and NUMA and speculative execution and mmap and large numbers of varying ability cpu cores and asynchronous code make C more of an approximation of "how the PDP worked in the 1970s" (with an abstraction layer that is an endless rolling nightmare of critical security issues), which I guess is a bit useful, but not as the thing we base the world on. and a C with array bounds checking and length-prefix strings would still have a shitty type system and no meta programming and not even an iteration protocol (or ability to add a nice one).

> Remind me again why we can't use Pascal?

GCJs implementation could be so vastly different from Hotspot, you could as well rewrite it in C and check if it is failing or not. ChatGPT would generate testcase within a minute.

It all depends how good you are with x64 assembly. If you are good enough, you can easily deduce what the instructions at the location do, and can potentially simply copy-paste into an asm file, compile it and check result. Would be much faster to me.

Bluntly speaking, people who are not familiar with low-level debugging make an honest and succesful attempt to investigate a low-level issue. A seasoned kernel developer or reverse engineer would have just used gdb straight away.
Humans themselves also need constant care and maintenance. It's a fact of life. Nothing exists in static equilibrium. The way I see it, humans and human settlements are also a part of nature.

>wouldn't that classify as broken hardware requiring device change?

Yes but you need to catch it first to know what to take out of production.

>That might be difficult if CPU is broken. How are you sure you actually computed 3 times if you can't trust the logic.

That's kind of my point. Either it's a heisen-bug and you never see those results again when you repeat the original program or it's permanently broken and you need to swap out the sketchy CPU. If you only care about the first case then you only need one core. If you care about the second case then you need 3 if you want to come up with an accurate result instead of just determining that one of them is faulty. It's like that old adage about clocks on ships. Either take one clock or take three, never two.

Great advice, but the resulting one-to-one mapping is not necessarily safe (in terms of Rust), which is in part why people jump early on advanced Rust features. So I would rephrase yours as follows: do not reach for abstractions to achieve safety without much consideration and justification.

This is like traditional inheritance based OOP vs Mixin architectures. A degree is traditional inheritance, you ARE something (a doctor, a software dev, etc).

Having the skills is like Mixins. You CAN do X, Y, Z. For example, you have the skills to do Data Wrangling with Pandas, you have the skills to perform classification with scikit-learn, etc.

I think skill-based approaches are a lot more efficient (just as in OOP :))

There's often multiple compilation steps, first compiling some application specific representation down to HLSL/GLSL/MSL source code, then compiling that down to DXIL/SPIRV/Metal bytecode, and then handing that off to the driver for compilation to native code. The first two steps at least can be done ahead of time, the bytecode is stable.

Metal and CUDA actually let you AOT compile native binaries since they have relatively few hardware targets to support, with a fallback to compiling bytecode to native at runtime for forwards compatibility.

warning: this is a UK based view, farming practices are different in other localities.

> Can't believe farmers are wasting that volume of fertiliser.

I get what your hinting at (and your further comments add nuance) but its more pernicious than that. Water management on farms is hard, and has got harder. As soil becomes more sterile, it is less absorbent of water. This means that drainage needs to be more effective, as anything outside of the normal rainfall causes flooding.

But! fast drainage means runoff. That could mean expensive synthetic nitrogen, cow shit, or actual soil is being swept into the water system. As we've had more uneven rain cycles recently in the UK, and maintaining drains/ditches has got a lot less expensive, the effectiveness of farm drainage has increase significantly. This means flash flooding down stream and also more reliance on pumped water.

But, it also means soil degradation, which requires more shit to be put in, which then runs off.

There are ways to tackle this, but it requires investment from the academic world to prove it works for the varied UK farm lands, Subsidies changes from UK gov (which they've already royally fucked up) and cost benefit analysis made available to farmers. Water dwell time needs to increase significantly in most of the UK, not only to reduce flooding, but to also improve drought resistance. The side effect is that it reduces fertiliser runoff.
That's by all design.

Does this prevent you from writing reliable software?

> I feel the same, ChatGPT barely beats Google searches for me nowadays.

I started feeling similar recently, but then I added the "Custom Instructions" [0] feature in ChatGPT, and the results are much better. The instruction that I've put there is that I'm a highly information-aware person and that I require detailed answers. The reason that I feel this works is that GPT is essentially trained (caveat: the RLHF part could partially falsify my "theory" here) on internet textual data whereby the usual method of answering on internet forums (and other sites) has a relatively low-to-moderate detailed way of answering things; but given that we know that GPT has in its latent space pretty much has all the useful knowledge on the internet, that if one asks for very detailed (information diverse/inclusive) answers by default that it can perform really well.

Nothing happened to it. It’s just slow.
I'm sure there are lots and lots of options in the design space here that would have been viable, but for better or worse this is the one we got. I dunno why Pascal didn't happen (but large portions of developers scoffing at the language shouldn't be discounted: this is as much a social consenus building exercise as a purely technical one), but for the "simpler C" versus Rust question it seems to me that there's some kind of local optimum around C, in the sense that the people interested in safety wanted more than is possible with small changes to C and the people who wanted to keep C weren't sufficiently motivated to actually make the changes (Regehr touches on this in the first part of the article, getting any kind of consensus on what Friendly C should actually be turned out to be very hard).

> But there's only one Nvidia.

I disagree. Google have their tensor chips – whether they work well enough for those outside of Google is somewhat irrelevant, they clearly work for Google who are going to be one of the major players in serving AI for the forseeable future (I'm biased, but seems clear to me). Microsoft have their own chips on the way, rumoured to be this year. Amazon have their own chips on the way, rumoured to have been in development for a number of years.

All 3 of these companies sell Nvidia hardware on their cloud offerings because it's what buyers want, but with Nvidia's pricing and resource constraints there is a huge pressure on the cloud providers to push customers into their own offerings. I don't expect any to stop offering Nvidia chips directly, but I'd bet that in the next few years all of their hosted value-add services will be on alternatives (i.e. hosted AI, inference, training, etc where customers don't need to know the hardware).

Nvidia have more of a moat than OpenAI for sure, but I think Nvidia's best days are 2023/4, and that things will look very different soon.

Just adding checked arrays would make a big difference I feel. Maybe it's not too late to change culturally, I think both GCC and LLVM has compile options for that.
