Maybe I’m just looking in the wrong places, but open hardware at this quality level seems to be extremely rare. Does anyone have other good examples of complete, professional-quality open source HDL projects that aren’t CPUs? I’m thinking of the hardware equivalent of PostgreSQL, something truly industrial strength with readable code you can learn from.
That random world governments, many with judiciaries you can't access, control TLDs is a good reason not to use wacky ones. But DNSSEC isn't really part of that argument. Nobody trusts DNSSEC (the root keys could land on Pastebin and virtually nobody would even need to be paged), and the trust issue is the same before-and-after.
Honestly, it's about time we see a crackdown on companies that act like they're "too big to bother" when it comes to obeying the law and shutting down criminal activity. The problem is that the likes of Google, Facebook and Amazon have decided their sites/communities are too big to moderate properly, and have just been left as a hotbed of obviously illegal activity. Like Amazon, which is filled to the rafters with scams, counterfeit products and products that blatantly ignore safety regulations in every country they're sold in.

There needs to be an understanding that having millions of customers doesn't mean you're immune to the law and can just happily ignore all the obvious scams and crimes being committed on your platforms.
Yeah I understood that, but I said "I would rather" , not "I will" , I think the ecosystem of Golang is much less dependent on Google than C#, there are a lot of tools in Go that aren't related to Google and in case they'd give up the language, it would be much easier for the community to keep maintaining it, I think
Great comment! Just want to add we are making good progress on the JVM unwinder!
Makes sense, since with another product company you could collapse the sales orgs and drastically decrease the marketing+sales costs without impacting revenue.
Yes, Scientology is on my radar, but which books exactly??
Super Micro stock was clearly undervalued even on traditional P/E metrics as recently as 2022. And I believe the reason for the depressed stock price was Bloomberg’s allegations that China was using Super Micro’s motherboards as Trojan horses for spy chips:

https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/years-later-bloom...

Bloomberg originally broke this story in 2018, then repeated the allegations in 2021. But AFAIK it was never proven.

The Nvidia + Meta connection finally broke the spell and allowed investors to look at SMCI with fresh eyes.

IME all prefabricated homes I've seen so far are of VERY dirty-cheap quality, not at all easy to repair, not at all accessible (in terms of owner ability to change wiring, piping, ...), not durable, not really cheap given the rest.

Beside that homes are not for single individuals, but for families and families are not that standard... So well, they are a hard task for mass manufacturing and those who have tried mass manufacturing them have designed almost only crap.

IME:

- first choose wood :: it's easier to rework/extend/modify by the owner, if someone want to buy a cheap home ALSO plan to do plenty of stuff alone to lower the final price;

- second carefully designs flexibility :: let's say just electricity, consider a modern "start-like" distribution BUT every room just get a derivation box with all relevant power circuits and anything depart from it, it's not super cheap, but in gross terms it does not count much and allow much flexibility, similarly design easy access to plumbery;

- third do not assume furniture :: just design the home, offering some options but allow the owner to choose all the rest;

- fourth take easy repair into account :: let's say just windows, if they are mounted with some factory-assembled strange setups are a nightmare to substitute thereafter, mount them in ways they can be unmounted with very little effort, use as much as possible "common", "standard" components and so on.

PERHAPS at that point you get some meaningful results.
3.5% of the initial 17% no?
Actually given how Java has evolved since Java 7, MaximeVM evolution into GraalVM, J/Rockit integration into OpenJDK, versus the mess on Android side, I am glad Google didn't move a finger to acquire Sun after torpedoed it.

This is a 2.4 million year cycle, not something that can lend any credence to the idea that the arrangement of the planets at birth has any effect on a person.
The arrangement of your house or neighborhood has a stronger gravitational effect on you at a young age than the planets. Feng shui would be a better predictor of people's personalities than astrology.
> Safari was the most egregious, since all other browsers had to use it as a backend.

Doesn’t that exactly explain why Safari couldn’t be removed?

It’s poor design, but Safari is one of those special apps that is both UI and system component. Same thing behind the PWA mess.
You have to use the center letter, whatever it was.
Yes, this is why.

(I just want this thread to have more than 2 comments in it.)
You're comparing apples to oranges. We don't expect phone manufacturers or phone companies to prevent people from using phones to send death threats, but Facebook regularly removes death threats sent via Facebook.

The argument being argued here is that it's not viable in practice for Facebook to police every single post, not that it shouldn't do it in principle. Your argument seems to be that Facebook shouldn't police messages at all, like phone companies don't monitor conversations. That's a completely different position that even Facebook wouldn't agree on.
Whoa. That surely discredits him.
I feel like we need to do a PSA campaign for unaware users that old.reddit.com exists. Sorta like the remember to check your tire pressure. Feel bad for folks that use the new ui unwittingly
Auto loans are often subsidized and have very nice terms. People who understand inflation and interest rates often take advantage of this.
They were always in the list of "you want something that's workstation/server reliable, but you don't want to deal with an OEM who's going to sell you a propriatery case/PSU/motherboard. ISTR Tyan being in the same boat, but you don't hear as much about them anymore.
From the list of words, I think F was the required (central) letter.
Reading the comments from David Wartell in that thread is enough internet for me today. This guy is CTO of some company and is just harassing the thread for a fix ETA without understanding the problem at all.
I want someone to create a plug in LLM that links into my Spotify (or other streaming service of choice) and see how well it can do at recommending me new artists to check based on my liked songs/artists/other playlists. I would be interested to see if it gave me better suggestions based on my taste than the YouTube/Spotify/Pandora radio algorithms.

Finally, have it create a playlist for me that I can import and play without having to manually look up any artists or songs it suggests.
I don't think they care that alternatives exist, or that they can help diminish the duopoly.

It's cheaper for them to support only two phone systems/ecosystems, and from discussions on the /e/ list I'm sure BankID knows these exist.
Google Yedalog: Exploring Knowledge at Scale (2015)
Everyone seems to make this mistake that read its core business is social. And that means they sell data.

They’re selling influence. Mostly to kids. To the terminally online. The new Politically Religious.

The standard MO to ban all decent isn’t because the admins/mods actually disagree, it’s that it makes the echo chamber more uniform. They’re culling wrong think to sell things, sure, but more so ideas.

When you consider that “reputation” is a product that politicians, celebrities and companies can just purchase, I think it makes a lot of sense what Reddit can sell.
Profiling is a pretty basic technique that is applicable to all software engineering. I'm not sure what a "normal" service is here, but I think we all have an obligation to understand what's happening in the systems we own.

Some people may believe that 100ms latency is acceptable for a CLI tool, but what if it could be 3ms? On some aesthetic level, it also feels good to be able to eliminate excess. Finally, you should learn it because you won't necessarily have that job forever.
Groq's inference strategy appears to be "SRAM only." There is no external memory, like GGDR or HBM. Instead, large models are split between networked cards, and the inputs/outputs and pipelined.

This is a great idea... In theory. But it seems like the implementation (IMO) missed the mark.

They are using reticle size dies, running at high TDPs, at 1 die per card, with long wires running the interconnect.

A recent microsoft paper proposed a similar strategy, but with much more economical engineering. Instead, much smaller, cheaper SRAM heavy chips would be tiled across a motherboard, with no need for a power hungry long-range interconnect, no expensive dies on expensive PCIe cards. The interconnect is physically so much shorter and lower power by virtue of being on a motherboard.

In other words, I feel that Groq took an interesting inference strategy and ignored a big part of what makes it cool, packaging them like PCIe GPUs instead of tiled accelerators. Combined with the node disadvantage and compatibility disadvantage, I'm not sure how they can avoid falling into obscurity like Graphcore, which took a very similar SRAM heavy approach.
Here is a free tip to fix terraform business model (no MBA required):
- Terraform is one of the most valuable tools for IaC - it's all free and it shouldn't - it is not a consumer product, it is not running ads and 99% of the users are business users with money.
- Keep Terraform SDK free and open source, close source plugins, charge per resource.
- Invest much more into Core and plugins.

all forks are doomed with the same destiny, business model is not sustainable with negative margin - as long as you have such a generous free tier and storage can run on S3 the price you can ask for a managed version is incredibly low.

You welcome :)

stdlib behavior may be more preferable:

The thesis of The Prophetic Imagination is "the task of prophetic ministry is to nurture, nourish, and evoke a consciousness and perception alternative to the consciousness and perception of the dominant culture around us." It's a fascinating read. I have no idea how I stumbled onto this book.
the thing posts like this miss, is that the internet isn't real life!

these people who develop antisocial tendencies because they saw something online were already alienated and were just looking for something, anything, to coalesce around!
This is me. I blocked so many that nowadays all I get are fake marijuana ads and sex toy ads.

No I don't regularly smoke or otherwise imbibe weed and I definitely don't do stuff that would link me with a need for sex toys lol. And judging by the replies I see to those tweets it's happening to other users too.
I agree usefulness has dropped, I agree, mixing in ads, will hurt them.

But, I bet in the time since the API kerfuffle, they’ve gained users and engagement.
And who tried to give RMS a parrot?
Dora Metrics at Work
It's not a technical tradeoff, it's a refusal to compromise. Lack of frame pointers prevents many groups from using software built by distros altogether. If a distro decides that they'd rather make things go 1% faster for grandma, at the cost of alienating thousands of engineers at places like Netflix and Google who simply want to volunteer millions of dollars of their employers resources helping distros to find 10x performance improvements, then the distros are doing a great disservice to both grandma and themselves.
Nope, there's definitely junk that is non-functional.
All of this information is static, there's no need to sacrifice a whole CPU register only to store data that's already known. A simple lookup data structure that maps an instruction address range to the stack offset of the return address should be enough to recover the stack layout. On Windows, you'd precompute that from PDB files, I'm sure you can do the same thing with whatever the equivalent debug data structure is on Linux.
It might help the discussion to distinguish editorial stance from editorial oversight. You could have a news source that is well managed yet highly partisan.

Some people respond to complaints about modern trashy journalism by referencing examples from the early 19th century that are at least as bad as anything today. I think what we see over history is that the mid-20th century was a high-water mark for the "appearance" of objectivity in journalism. When I look at reportage of specific cases, I'm not so sure of the actual objectivity.
I think there’s so much more value and being able to purchase public opinion even if you think it is just ‘fringe edge lords’ than you realize.
I've been curious about to try Zephyr. I hear good things about it.

Right now I'm using PlatformIO for my ESP32 development.
Kanary is a grant recipient from YC and does data deletion as well. Main difference from Optery is simplicity of the tiers (there is only 1 premium tier that covers all sites + hands on support). While Optery's b2b tooling is more built out than ours.

We have a 'downgrade to a free tier' option if you are paying and want to take a break from the service. We delete all data if you decide to cancel, but you can join back any time. If it's not clear from the username, I'm on the team.
It's more complicated than that. Reproducible builds help build confidence that your build process isn't compromised.

Sure, your compiler, your hardware, or your distro might be compromised, but if you follow the chain all the way through you does indeed validate version X does result in SHA y, there's now less things were blindly trusting.

It also helps with things like rolling back to earlier versions when you don't still have the binary kicking around without having to revalidate the binary.

If you're not getting the same SHA on different hardware, weeks apart, even if it's good enough for you, it's not reproducible
It's arguable that there's no such thing as a probability measure over the reals, because Solomonoff induction only works over computable programs, and the reals (in the sense needed) are not computable.
> I got a letter a few days ago saying Swedbank was going to stop using paper for pension information and switch to digital. The site they gave only supports Mobil BankID. (They say they will add BankID på fil at some point.)

Ugh, typical Swedbank. Easily the worst bank in Sweden in my opinion...
The Journal Cell Endorses The View That Sex Isn't Binary
I think this came off somewhat aggressive. I vouched for the comment because flagging it is an absurd overreaction, but I also don't think pointing out isolated individuals would be of much help.

Barriers to progress here are best identified on a community level, wouldn't you say?

But people, please calm down. Filing an issue or posting to the mailing list to make a case isn't sending a SWAT team to people's home. It's a technical issue, one well within the envelope of topics which can be resolved politely and on the merits.
Well that unexpected excellent.
The real scary thing about the Reddit IPO is that we are headed into the age of the "strongman" leader and both Reddit and Twitter have been the preeminent voice of those against strongmen and tyranny. It was Reddit that gave those in Hong Kong, Ukraine, and Gaza a voice and promoted solidarity for them.

Both Reddit and Twitter are experiencing a capitalist assault because both threaten capitalist power. Twitter was neutralized when it was sold. Reddit is now being neutralized.

Shareholder influence will prevent Reddit from being a platform that can be used to speak truth to those strong enough to harm it.

This IPO is Reddit's graduation ceremony from a platform for speaking truth to power, to a platform for the exercise of power.
Thirded. Some of their products looked useful so we talked to a sales person, and it was exorbitant. Not "oof, that's a little more than I'd budgeted for", but "LOL does that include equity?" The upside is that it pushed us to check out the alternatives.

AWS Secrets Manager isn't as nice as Vault in a lot of ways, but at a starting price of $0.40/mo for 1 secret + as many clients as you'd want vs $1250/mo for a standard vault + 1 client, it's fine.

Yes, but this is an advantage that will become less and less true, very quickly.

Essential Drupal Modules for Your Drupal 10 Site
The fact that I couldn't point to one page on the docs that shows the tl;dr or the what problem is this solving

https://docs.dagger.io/quickstart/562821/hello just emits "Hello, world!" which is fantastic if you're writing a programming language but less helpful if you're trying to replace a CI/CD pipeline. Then, https://docs.dagger.io/quickstart/292472/arguments doubles down on that fallacy by going whole hog into "if you need printf in your pipline, dagger's got your back". The subsequent pages have a lot of english with little concrete examples of what's being shown.

I summarized my complaint in the linked thread as "less cowsay in the examples" but to be honest there are upteen bazillion GitHub Actions out in the world, not the very least of which your GHA pipelines use some https://github.com/dagger/dagger/blob/v0.10.2/.github/workfl... https://github.com/dagger/dagger/blob/v0.10.2/.github/workfl... so demonstrate to a potential user how they'd run any such pipeline in dagger, locally, or in Jenkins, or whatever by leveraging reusable CI functions that setup go or run trivy

Related to that, I was going to say "try incorporating some of the dagger that builds dagger" but while digging up an example, it seems that dagger doesn't make use of the functions yet <https://github.com/dagger/dagger/tree/v0.10.2/ci#readme> which is made worse by the perpetual reference to them as their internal codename of Zenith. So, even if it's not invoked by CI yet, pointing to a WIP PR or branch or something to give folks who have CI/CD problems in their head something concrete to map into how GHA or GitLabCI or Jenkins or something would go a long way
So what are these other techniques the 2004 migration from frame pointers assumed would work for stack walking? Why don't they work today? I get that _64 has a lot more registers, so there's minimal value to +1 the register?

What we have in the US is far from optimal. In many 'hot' markets during the recent runup in prices, houses were "making" more money in a year than the median household earned. That's a recipe for a whole host of problems.
In my city you're not allowed to wash your car in your driveway

I guess it's too hard on the storm drains to have soap and dirt and stuff going down them

Or maybe city council is just in some kind of racket with car wash owners or something

But either way, that's why we have so many car washes here... And it sucks ass
How Ultrasound Became Ultra Small
No one is there yet.

We have made enormous jumps with transformer models (language models being integrated in the stack, and vision language models (VLM), and even vision language action models (VLA)). Pair this with recent advances in reinforcement learning and we can do things we couldn't do a few years ago; the whole space is fascinating!

...but we're nowhere near usable robotics in complex human environments for complex multistage tasks yet. It's an incredibly difficult problem where we still don't have the hardware, the software, or the sensors for it. The other thing to keep in mind is that since it's so expensive and difficult to do, there's no marketplace yet driving significant advances like we had with phones to hone in on such efficient amazing pieces of tech across the industry.

I wrote a bit about where we're at with the research last year; it's a bit out of date with even cooler advancements, which is why I'm working on another article in the same vein now.

https://hlfshell.ai/posts/llms-and-robotics-papers-2023/

I also did a project (Master's thesis) integrating an LLM into a ROS2 stack as a high level action planner, specifically to prove that LLMs have contextual understanding of the real world that can benefit planning missions.

Always happy to talk this subject.
This was extremely helpful for a personal conflict I'm having with an extremely religious [former] landlord, who has removed a structural wall from a flip-house he is currently attempting to unload.

Thanks for helping me find some great Bible quotes (e.g. Ezk 3:18-19), as well as other Wordly POVs (the two other religions).

The infinite growth problem / enshittification of modern capitalism. We will endlessly try to squeeze more blood out of a rock until it crumbles entirely.

It's funny in a way. We talk about how risk averse big companies are compared to smaller, more nimble startups. Yet those same big companies don't seem to be risk averse to making aggressive squeezing changes like these.
Neither does Python, for years now.

Nanofont3x4: Smallest readable 3x4 font with lowercase (2015)
I'm not complaining about the browsers themselves either.

IIRC, almost every UI widget in iOS and Mac OS (even way back to 68k) and VisualBasic and Java is a rectangular interaction region, even if the appearance is circular.

A <div> with a background image and an on-click, on-mouse-move etc. handlers, can replicate the look and behaviour with much lower complexity than even the React tutorials I've done (I assume that React is even more complex in production?)

Last tech conference I went to, there was a talk on how to boost website performance by loading your JS in a particular order — at that point, I think you're better off with a website being an img and <img> and <map> and everything more than that being done on the server. Not that this is a good idea, just less bad than having so much JS you need to re-order it to keep load times down.

jQuery seems nice, from what little of it I've seen in practice.
