He talks about how "Gaze & pinch is an incredible UI superpower and major industry ah-ha moment" but... if that's really the case, then it's quite an indictment of the VR industry:

> The hardware needed to track eyes and hands in VR has been around for over a decade, and it’s Apple unique ability to bring everything together in a magical way that makes this UI superpower the most important achievement of the entire Vision Pro product, without a shadow of doubt.

So they had all the pieces, but only Apple put it together and realized that you'd need a VR equivalent of point-and-click? If that's actually true, it's sad.

There is no such thing as a "CurveDNS resolver". CurveDNs is a forwarder that encrypts DNS packets.

For me it runs bound to a loopback address, as do the nsd and tinydns servers. None of this traffic uses the network, there are no remote queries. There is nothing for the ISP to sniff.

When placed in front of a remote authoritative DNS server, that server can be queried using DNSCurve, e.g., with dq or dqcache. The packets are encrypted. ISPs cannot read them.

For example,

dq -s -k dns2sdrnxskf5lqt46v34cdlfqb9q2lvvmpr95g3l1qh0148sf6 ianix.com 104.207.143.9

1 ianix.com - streamlined DNSCurve:
229 bytes, 1+2+2+2 records, response, authoritative, noerror
query: 1 ianix.com

The IP address of the ianix.com name servers, 104.207.143.9, and the DNSCurve key, dns2sdrnxskf5lqt46v34cdlfqb9q2lvvmpr95g3l1qh0148sf6, can be obtained from the com.zone file, which is available for free from https://czds.icann.org/home

No recursive resolver is used. No packets are sent "in the clear". There is nothing for the ISP to sniff. Unlike public DoH or DNSCrypt servers, there is no third party DNS provider involved. No middleman.

Good question. Now things are complicated. When all beginning, CISC CPUs was not one chip but board or even cabinet (like IBM S/360), and they featured customizable microcode, so you could even load different microcode on different CPUs in system.

As I know, very powerful feature of S/360 series was to supply custom microcode to make machine compatible with older IBM hardware, like 1401 series or 7xxx series (or to make your own architecture if you wish and if you have enough money).

I have not hear about customizable microcode in RISC (to be honest, I hear, it exists in ARM, but it is rare used option, if compare with IBM 360).
I kind of agree at least for a huge amount of code that mostly schleps data around according to rules. The data should be at the center with the code orbiting it, not off to the side.

Addition was not the bottle neck for the 386. It had a FO4 delay of 80+ per clock. An adder is much faster.

The paper seems to make no mention of the memory barriers in play, merely talking about the atomic operation and the conditional branch. Despite that, they indicate they produced a proof-of-concept exploit leaking data.

Traditionally, you would use a acquire, L-LS, barrier on entry to a critical section to order any memory accesses in the critical section after the load of the atomic operation completes. Without that, the critical section may speculatively execute on your core while somebody else holds the lock and those changes would be confirmed if the owner releases before your delayed acquiring load completes.

For this paper to be true, either their synchronization primitives do not have acquire barriers, which is wrong to start with, or the acquire barrier must not be stalling later memory accesses which is how I have seen it portrayed. How would that even work correctly on normal code?

To preserve the L-L ordering implicit in the L-LS ordering, you need to guarantee that any loads after the acquiring load will see all stores explicitly ordered before the releasing store. You would need to guarantee that any speculative load must at least see the value the memory would have immediately preceding the release barrier on the other core even if you happened to load that value arbitrarily long before the release barrier on the other core. I guess you could track every single speculative access after a L-* barrier and their dependency chain and then invalidate and re-compute as you see stores until you resolve all pertinent operations prior to your L-* barrier (such as the acquiring load in this case)? If the chip people are actually doing that, that seems... wild.

Everybody loses in this situation. the biggest victims here are the consumers who can't get the products that they want, and have had to resort to developing/using apps to track down working machines, followed by the employees who have to deal with the constantly angry/frustrated customers, followed by the franchise owners who are losing money and disappointing their customers. The franchise owners are acting in self-defense by working around the vendor which means the vendor is losing money on service calls, and the corporation loses because (quite rightly) their image suffers for causing this mess in the first place and allowing it to continue.

Best HN post today. Generals was another hit.
A website isn't allowed to prohibit discussion of doing illegal drugs on it?

This feels like a bad decision. Is the complaint just that Facebook didn't say specifically that the ban was because the page was promoting drugs? It sounds like it would have been legal if they were just more specific about the why?

If that's the case, it feels like a waste of everyone's time when the reasoning is obvious. If that's not the case, it's horrific to think that Poland has some law requiring sites to host any discussion. That would just turn every site into 4chan, and I would sooner ban Poland than ban having rules.

> The browser might default to 16px font size, but users can pick something else. So if somebody had poor vision and increased their default font size; or if they had a small laptop screen and decreased their default font size, 1em * 62.5% != 10px, everything the designer set in ems was a different size than they intended, and a lot of their page layouts disintegrated into an unholy mess.

Howdy, author of the article you're responding to (but not the person who originally discovered/pioneered this trick). This is not true, and my article explains why.

The 62.5% trick is rarely used on its own, but people often cite it this way, leading to confusion. In practice, you set the root font size to 62.5% (of the user agent font size) and then also scale all body text back up to 1.6rem so it's not stuck at 10px. From here on out, all font sizes remain proportional no matter what, even if a user changes their preferred root font size in browser settings. Play around with the math if you doubt it (the article offers examples).

> everything the designer set in ems was a different size than they intended

That's working as intended—your design will scale up or down, according to the user's preferred font size. If you don't like this, your only option is to set font sizes in pixels, which [you shouldn't be doing anyway](https://www.aleksandrhovhannisyan.com/blog/use-rems-for-font...)

You don't need 128 lanes. 8x PCIe3 is more than enough, so for 4 cards that's 32. Most CPUs have about 40lanes. If you are not doing much that would be more than sufficient. Buy a PCIe riser. Go to amazon and search for it, a 16x to 16x PCIe riser. They go for about $25-$30 often about 20-30cm. If you want really long one, you can get one from China a 60cm for about the same price, you just have to wait for 3 weeks. That's what I did. Stuffing all those in a case is often difficult, so you have to go open rig. Either have the cables running out your computer and figuring out a way to support the cards while keeping them cool or just buy a small $20-$30 open rig frame.

This class is great because it introduces a lot of concepts but most importantly really sharpens your problem-solving skills.

We do this over and over, pretty much starting from scratch on a new topic every week. As a result, it can be very frustrating—which, of course, is the intention. If you're constantly trying to solve things that are just outside of your reach, you develop better strategies for thinking about problems you're given.

To add some more points the others have made:

- You can make the turbines substantially bigger offshore than onshore
- There's better wind offshore
- Both the previous ensure there is a higher capacity factor
- There's a lot more flexibility in connecting to the grid. Grid accessibility is a huge challenge in siting onshore projects. You either need to be near an access point or conquer the immense, years long hurdles of constructing new transmission lines
- The farms can have a large number of turbines which makes capital and labor more efficient

This paper is about detecting the connection between the VPN client and the VPN server---the first segment of the connection you describe. It's unsurprising that OpenVPN can be fingerprinted, as like most VPN protocols, it was not designed with contravention of fingerprinting as a goal. The counter-censorship or network policy bypass application of VPNs is a relatively modern concept and the modifications made to meet it tend to be haphazard. OpenVPN predates this kind of application being a design goal.

To address your direct question, whether or not a service can detect that you are reaching it with a VPN service in the middle, the answer is a soft maybe. There are several heuristic methods, but they will not be entirely reliable and using them will risk false positives. Most service operators probably wouldn't go beyond filtering of known VPN services, which is of course widely implemented.

One reliable method is active probing of the traffic source, which is sometimes done, but it comes with some hazards for the service operator and is often easy to defeat.
You know, I didn’t want to get attacked by Berliner’s for saying this…but I was pretty….whelmed…by the techno scene when I was there for a month.

I’ve enjoyed far more raves in LA and Detroit, and lots of harder techno clubs in Chicago that felt a lot more authentic. The Berlin crowds were kind and chill, but there definitely was this odd feeling where it all kinda felt..scripted?

I hadn’t gone to Berlin up until two years ago, so I can only imagine it was pretty incredible a decade ago before tourism swamped them.

And before anyone asks, I was rolling with native berliners and service industry folks, so I was fortunate to get in to and attend a lot of the best parties while I was there. I’d love to go back, I do just feel like it was slightly overhyped before I got there :/.

Happy for them regardless, they deserve the recognition even if I didn’t get to really experience the best of it
> Are you sure? I think "Open"AI uses the chat transcripts to help the next training run?

> Fine-tuning.

The learning that occurs through SGD is proven to be less flexible and generalizing than what happens via context. This is due to the restricted way information flows through transformers and which is further worsened in autoregressive GPTs vs models with bidirectional encoders.

On top of that, SGD already requires a great many examples per concept and, the impact of any single example rapidly diminishes as learning rate tampers down as training ends. Finetuning a fully trained model is far less efficient, more crippled when compared to learning from context for introducing new knowledge. It's believed that instruction tuning helps reduce uncertainty in token selection more than it introduces new knowledge.

> Co-pilot gets to watch people figure stuff out

We don't actually know if that's true. It depends on how many intermediate steps Microsoft records as training data. If enough intermediate steps lead to bad results and needed backtracking, but that erasure is not captured, it will significantly harm model quality. It is not nearly as easy to do well as you make it seem.

All in all, getting online learning into models has proven very challenging. While some "infinite" context alternatives to self-attention are promising for LTM, it'd remain true that the majority of computational power and knowledge resides in the fixed FF weights. If context and weights conflict this can cause degradation during inference. You might have encountered this yourself with GPT4 worsening with search. Lots of research is required to match human learning flexibility and efficiency.
