I'm sure it's used for all sorts of industrial purposes, but Fugaku/K seemed a bit of solution in search of problem since NEC backed off(~2009). They were supposed to supply vector processing cluster interconnected with Fujitsu supplied scalar cluster that became K, but cancelled it stating vector processing is an outdated concept not worth pursuing during cash crunch the company was going through.

I can't seem to find a lot of technical documents regarding NEC SX processors online, but I could find outrageously priced PCIe accelerator cards(released 2021, $18k, 300W, 4.91TF FP32, 48GB VRAM) that are supposed to be its descendants, while Fugaku sits there GPU-less, maybe such is the life.

This is precisely what Adobe's model was up to Creative Cloud. Probably tens if not hundreds of thousands of young people, school kids and students, grabbed the CS5/6 keygen off of some warez site, taught themselves how to use Photoshop, and asked later employers to provide them with Photoshop.

Nowadays, it's not the case any more as the 20€ or so a month are affordable for a lot of people.

Its possible that I'm underestimating our ability to fairly judge their moral fiber, but I did not mean to imply that the moral compass of all those who came before is genuinely worse than ours. Quite the opposite, I'm saying many great and noble people who's heart was in the right place are unfairly maligned by future generations for the moral failings of their society as a whole.
I religiously read Nettuts+ back in the day. Jeffrey Way had the most amazing posts. When envato unified their tutorial sites the quality disappeared overnight and I quickly stopped reading.
I'm a security researcher, but it's true that my income doesn't depend on getting paid for security vulnerabilities[1]. On the other hand, I'm old enough to remember when bug bounties didn't exist and yet (most) people did the right thing and disclosed their finds responsibly.

If the bug from OP falls under Apple's bug bounty and yet Apple refuses to pay, it's a very shitty behaviour and I hope they're forced to pay by the backlash and the researcher is made right. But if not, the reasonable response is to stop doing security research for free for Apple, not doing research with a goal of using it immorally due to a kneejerk reaction. If Apple stops their bug bounty program today this is still not a justification to look for vulnerabilities in their products and sell them on the black market.

[1] I'm mostly dealing with the people abusing the vulnerabilities, so that may influence my worldview.

All security boundaries are "incidental" in that sense, though. Virtualization isn't a "purpose-designed" security boundary either, most of the time it's deployed for non-security reasons and the original motivation was software compatibility management.

The snobbery deployed in this "containers vs. VMs" argument really gets out of hand sometimes. Especially since it's almost never deployed symmetrically. Would you make the same argument against using a BSD jail? Do you refuse to run your services in a separate UID because it's not as secure as a container (or jail, or VM)? Of course not. Pick the tools that match the problem, don't be a zealot.
They will look fluffy and cute. Because humans will not accept anything else.
As far as I know, webassembly only supports a 32 bit address space on all platforms at the moment. There’s a memory64 proposal, but it doesn’t look to be widely adopted yet.
The hardware is the easy bit (except for hands, but some companies seem to have solved that), but the software is a different story, which is why you see all these staged (some faked - telepresence) videos of laundry folding etc.

Having a humanoid in a factory doing a repetitive task it was trained for is one thing, but having one at home and telling it "go clean up the kids bedroom", or "go put the laundry away", is probably still 20 years in the future.
Exactly, "set up". Many people (not all) don't want to fiddle with things, they just want it to work out of the box. The importance of secure defaults can't be overstated, especially when there are virtually no downsides.
Secret projects to continue to advance AI are much less of a danger than the current situation in which tens of thousands of AI researchers worldwide are in constant communication with each other with no need to hide the communications from the public or from any government.

Advancing the current publicly-known state of the art to the point where AI becomes potent enough to badly bite us (e.g., to cause human extinction) is probably difficult enough so as to not be in Pyongyang's power or even in Moscow's or Beijing's power especially if the government has to do it under the constraint of secrecy. It probably requires the worldwide community of researchers continuing to collaborate freely to reach the dubious "achievement" of creating an AI model that is so cognitively capable that once deployed, no human army, no human institution, would be able to stop it.
Pretty interesting to me that we're starting to go from humans programming computers to computers programming humans.
More generally, bug bounties are not a significant industry for getting people paid, Hacker1 is Uber/Lyft for hackers. Maybe in some markets bug bounties are actually valuable relative to the prices of things, but in America it’s basically impossible to pay people what they are worth to find bugs.
I think people are dismissive for a few reasons.

I've worked with Imagineers on some projects in the last few years. Not a lot I can say publicly, other than it really was interesting to see how much effort goes into creating and preserving a specific theme/mood/vibe for the rides. Textures, colors, smells, finishes.

Stuff that usually only gets a passing acknowledgement in other projects (eg: we'd prefer if the [thing] could be painted to match the walls) becomes "Can we completely disassemble [thing] and embed its components into [other thing]?" Guest experience, and safety, receive a lot of attention, which creates some fun problems to solve.
Three Distributed Database Deployment Topologies for Dual Data Center Challenges

I built a service using LISTEN/NOTIFY a while ago, but the fact that Postgres will instantly drop all messages to a given channel if there are no registered listeners made me nervous.

This felt like a big caveat to me, taking what could be an extremely well-guaranteed approach (e.g. a db trigger that writes a row to an event table, which is being polled by an application process) into an ops risk, where transient network issues could result in data loss. You’d want idempotent tasks and zero-downtime deployments, but it feels like the benefits don’t really justify the risk. If you want a topic exchange just have the polling process forward to a real message broker.

I like the concept of sending messages straight from the db, and we did run my service in production (for non-critical stuff), but unless something has changed with the way this works I would still be wary.

Take a look at Materialize, Noria and the family of Differential/Timely Dataflow technologies. It's the same concept on steroids, you can subscribe to arbitrary queries and efficiently receive any changes to that view. You can also efficiently maintain any materialized view for extremely fast reads for known queries.

An automatic stream processing pipeline for maintaining caches and listening to complex real-time events.

Quite underrated, it has so much promise. The concept is not new but it's still semi-stuck in Rust-land. It's becoming more mainstream with Materialize, which is technically open-source, but they are quite aggressive with pushing their expensive cloud and offuscating on-prem usage.

How Many Languages a Developer Should Know?
Isolation mechanisms is not what makes an OS. It's the stable ABI that application developers can depend on and which provides a way to use shared resources: disk, CPU, RAM, GPU, network, screen space, push notifications, GUI integrations, your favorite LLM integration, so on, so forth... Yes, it might have an imperfect security model, but nothing's perfect under the sun.

Raw Linux without userspace could be considered an OS, but it has the ABI only in form of syscalls and the minimal standard FS. That's barely enough for anything other than, say, a statically linked Go binary, which is why it's seldom used by app developers as a target.

To most of your examples I say – yes, that's an OS, and jails or zones have nothing to do with it. Although I'm not familiar with them other than FreeBSD, so I'm relying on your short description and your implied criteria for selecting these examples.
Well sure, clearly this isn't a movie about the intricacies of architectural design, but the selection of that job descriptor for the main character is very telling.

Architects are imagination people who see a better world. They design the building, they don't put it up themselves. They are ambitious leaders trying to realize their own visions. They are also not rich enough to do it on their own, else they would be called something else a la Tony Stark. So they must struggle to acquire money/power from someone else. Enter the love interest, the daughter of the mayor. The mayor is the old power structure, the architect the new young guy with vision. And the daughter joins those two world. This is not an ambitious premise for a movie. I'm sure it will have excellent cinematography.

Artificial intelligence hitting labour forces like a "tsunami"
Do you think economic power in Russia today is less centralized than the USA? Or more? (Your first paragraph seems to admit that it is more.)

Do you think economic power in, say 1200 in Europe was less centralized than in the USA today, or more?

Is economic power in the USA more centralized than it was in the Gilded Age?

If you wanted to claim that the level of centralization in the USA today was higher than in the last 100 years in most of the west, I could buy that. But "pretty unique in history" is going rather too far.

What the west had over the last 100 years is what's pretty unique. It seems to be slipping away, and we should care about that, because it was pretty wonderful.
In what sense are you using the word "epiphenomena", then? Wikipedia provides several definitions across various domains [0] none of which appear to match the way you're using it. It even states that "charge and current are 'epiphenomena'" according to Maxwell.

Your description

> aggregate to an apparent quantity that doesnt correspond to anything in the world

is unclear. What do you mean by "the world"?

You go on to say

> There is no property of animals called, "forgetting"

It feels possible to me that a sufficiently complex model of the brain can observe an individual and determine that they are in a state of "forgetting". Not with current technology, of course, but I don't see what rules it out in principle.

Likewise, I don't see why it's impossible for mental states to be reduced (with sufficient computational power) to the states and interactions of the brain's constituent atoms.

Timekeeping leading up to the marine chronometer is also very interesting. Note that none of the timekeeping devices mentioned in the article would work very well at sea, making it impossible to accurately determine your longitude. Solving that proved to be extremely difficult.

Just because we haven't yet destroyed the human race through the use of nuclear weapons doesn't mean that it can't or won't happen now that we have the capacity to do so. And I would add that we developed that capacity in less than 50 years of creating the first atomic bomb. We're now living on a knife's edge and at the merge of safeguards which we don't give much thought to on a daily basis because we hope that they won't fail.

That's how I look at where we're going with AI. Plunge along into the new arms race first and build the capacity, then later figure out the treaties and safeguards which we hope will keep our society safe (and by that I don't mean a Skynet-like AI-powered destruction, but the upheaval of our society potentially as impactful as the industrial revolution.)

Humanity will get through it, I'm sure. But I'm not confident it will be without a lot of pain and suffering for a large percentage of people. We also managed to survive 2 world wars in the last century--but it cost the lives of 100 million people.
This post got me to purchase an Axidraw back in 2017 and I had a ton of fun using it to plot neural data I collected during my PhD, as well as messing around with generative art. So much more worthwhile than I expected for an impulse purchase.
I see a lot of fear around these new kinds of tools. I think though, that criminals will always find ways to leverage new technology to their benefit, and we've always found ways to deal with that. This changes little. Additionally, as you are aware of this, so are people creating this tech, and a lot of effort is underway to protect from malicious uses.

That wont stop criminal enterprises from implementing their own naughty tools, but these open models wont become some kind of holy grail for criminals to do as they please.

That being said, I do beleive, now more than ever, education world wide should be adjusted to fit this new paradigm and maybe adapt quicker to such changes.

As some commenters pointed out, there are already good tools and techiques to use to counter malicious use of AI. maybe noy covering all use cases, but we need to educate people on using the tools available, and trust that researchers (like many of yourselves) are capable of imnovations which will reduce risk even further.

There is no point and no benefit in trying to be negative or full of fear. Go forward with positivity and creativity. Even if big tech gets regulated, some criminal enterprises have billions to invest too, so criplling big tech here will only play into their hands in the end.

Love these new innovations. And for the record, gpt4o still told me to 'push rip' on amd64... so rip to it actually understanding stuff...

If you are smart enough to see some risks here, you might also be smart enough to positively contribute to improvements. Fear shuts things down, love opens them up. Its basic stuff.

This demo is amazing, not scary. its positive advancements in technology and it wont be stopped because people are afraid of it, so go with it, and contribute in areas where you feel its needed. Even if its just giving feedback. And whem giving that, you all know a balanced and constructive approach works better than a negative and destructive approach.
"What's your humor setting, TARS?"
> All security boundaries are "incidental" in that sense, though

X86 protected mode, processor rings, user isolation in the multi user operating systems, secure execution environments in X86 and ARM ISAs, kernel and userspace isolation, etc. are purpose built security boundaries.

Virtualization is actually built to allow better utilization of servers, which is built as a "nested protected mode", but had great overhead in the beginning, which has been reduced over generations. Containers are just BSD jails, ported to Linux. This doesn't make containers bad, however. They're a cool tech, but held very wrong in some cases because of laziness.
I really don't get that: having to run something substantial as root seems a much bigger security concern, than what it is shielding from user space (example: hosting a web server at port 80)
All cool stuff.

But to my mind, the main advantage for this postgres workflow is that you get something simple without adding a ton of stuff to your stack.
Could you clarify which result you're referring to as the baseline and "number 1 place?"

I should clarify that our published Clickbench results are from our pg_analytics extension. New results with pg_lakehouse will be released. They're going to beat the old benchmarks because 1. No overhead from Postgres transactions/MVCC, since pg_analytics used the table access method whereas pg_lakehouse is just a foreign data wrapper 2. Uses the latest release of DataFusion.

The performance differences that exist between DataFusion and other OLAP engine are rapidly becoming commoditized. DataFusion is already a world-class query engine and will only improve. pg_lakehouse absorbs all those improvements into Postgres.

Every time I see this type of story I can only think how people get rewarded for heroically/dramatically rescuing bad systems. While those who choose boring/proven technology at an earlier point, don't get recognition (or even hired in many cases).
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting the current capabilities are anywhere near replacing human productivity. Some things are 1 year out, some 5 (maybe self-driving cars by then? Mercedes has it on their roadmap for 2030 and they’ve historically been realistic), some 10+. But the pieces are in place and the investments are being made. The question is no longer “can AI really automate this?”, it’s “how do we get the dataset that will enable us to automate this with AI?”. And as long as Open AI keeps people’s eyes on their whizbang demos, the money will keep flowing…
When I've used it, I've used it in conjunction with a table that maintains state.

So basically the notify keeps other processes from having the poll the table for updates, but the table itself still acts as the queue.
