Your "end-user routers suck ass" comment is totally true. I wish the end-user and SOHO networking gear market wasn't a fucking race to the bottom.

Your other comments simply aren't a substantial concern at end-user sites in the real world.

* The only scopes that end-user sites might care about are global and link-local. I expect that situation is the same at nearly all non-end-user sites. Reading through the RFCs, it looks like the other scopes are ONLY relevant in multicast [0][1]... and even then, anything other than interface-local, link-local, and global looks like it's programmed into the routers and switches of the network, rather than host computers themselves.

* If you have functional IPv6 service at your site, your application software cares as much about the interface's fe80::/10 link-local address as it does about the 169.254.0.0/16 link-local address... that is, not at all. The rule is simple: "If you want to talk globally, use an interface with a global address. If there's no global address, send it to the 'default' router and hope for the best.". It's actually a better situation than in IPv4 where you pretty much never have a globally-connected address.

* Yes, you can do IPv6 NAT. In that case, you're no worse off than in the usual end-user IPv4 deployment. The cool thing about IPv6 is not that NAT doesn't exist, it's that there's far, far more than enough address space to make it so that you don't HAVE to deploy NAT at end-user sites. That doesn't mean that it's impossible for stupid, frightened, currently-ignorant, or revenue-maximizing ISPs to deploy NAT.

If a company with >90% of their production capacity in Taiwan isn’t worried about a Chinese invasion, I would like to think we shouldn’t be worried either.

Man, this guy would have hated piano youtubers.

Is there any argument here other than "Adorno is an old git who hates change, young people, and popular entertainment"?

> Consequently, when the masses come into contact with it, they are no longer by any means coming into contact with the thing itself but rather with a predissected, cliché-ridden product of the culture industry, which gives them the illusory sense that they could become actively involved in culture.

It's a remarkably small-c conservative screed for someone who's normally classified as a left philosopher.
Not to mention, if you compare the US, its citizen's intentions, and its government's intentions, and yes the DnD's intentions to all but a tiny handful of countries, the US is a golden boy of good.

Compare today's US to, for example colonial powers. The US is pure in comparison.

Compare the US to what happens to journalists in Russia, China, Iran. The US is a beacon of justice.

Is the US perfect? Nope. But do a little comparative analysis, and the result is that the world has never, ever seen such a peaceful empire.

The rancor often displayed on such comments makes me wonder.

When looking at industrial optimization problems, it always appears there's an insane amount of money left on the table (e.g. nurse scheduling in healthcare, train/cargo ship optimization, etc). In my experience there are always undocumented (human) constraints that massively complicate things:

- German engineers balked at tightening features on pre-production vehicles because it would prevent their use for recreational purposes
- Billions were spent in overtime in a healthcare setting, seemed trivial to improve scheduling to reduce overtime, but there were numerous union constraints and simply not enough hiring supply

I wonder how realistic this google solution is (Houthi missile constraints?). In my experience it's often more valuable to develop solutions that can easily adjust to unplanned changes rather than provably optimal ones

User-community owned services/infrastructure could reasonably be the way towards services that run well, recoup costs and prevent abuses (both of the service and of users). Are there any examples of this kind of thing for AI yet?
>Supporting a different 3D API is really not the complicated or time consuming part of porting a game to another platform, especially when the target API is Metal.

If you have a graphics programmer on hand, no. The vast majority of indie devs are powerless in that domain, though. I don't see many attempts out there to make it easier for them either.

Maintenance is always the time consuming part, be it simple or complex work. People aren't going to support Linux even if Vulkan theoretically makes it straightforward, because the time needed to maintain it isn't worth the lack of customers. Steam + Proton gives even less incentive to bother. So that advantage doesn't translate to much business value when evaluating DX12 vs. Vulkan.

This is an issue going all the way back to the OpenGL vs. D3D days. Nothing fundamentally changes as long as Microsoft completely swamps the PC gaming market.

Adorno was Frankfurt school. He opposed "culture industry." He loved Schoenberg's music because it was challenging. He hated pop music of any kind because it was the opposite - an easily pleasing pablum to sell to and control people.

I don't agree with him but I think his concerns were/are valid.

Going into this piece knowing that probably changes the way it's read. In that light, Adorno is pulling his punches and being very well-behaved here.
C++ is for the engine IMHO. It can do a lot of things without as many twists as Rust.

When it's the only way to interface with MacOS and especially IOS, I'm not surprised. But that says more about Apple as a platform than Vulkan as a graphics API.

yup, only took some 9 years after they abandoned Khronos to get it up and running. I'm sure nothing signifigant would have developed in that time.

I was recently gifted an old dslr, and after finding that Canon still makes the original picture viewing/editing utility available on their website, was blessed with a beautiful pre-ribbon era interace that does exactly what it says on the tin, offline and without needing an account or subscription or cloud storage or advertising.

Yep...

and also, how much do companies there actually pay people? If you pay that much for rent, and still decide to stay there, are the wages so high, that it's worth it? An average couple would have to earn at least a few $k more per month there, than in other places with more reasonable rent prices.

No, you are not correct. The amount of surveillance IS rising. At first search data was recorded, emails, then maps, social interactions, car sensors, smart speakers.

Now literally everything you do is captured, repackaged and sold. Corporations also are more creative when it comes to selling your data. They have more data, they sell more.

Saint Michael Sword: Are the cathedrals really on a straight line?
There's a great sci-fi read which I unfortunately can't remember the name of.

In the book us humans who are generalists meet an alien race that's subdivided between functions, for example having leaders with massively improved thinking capabilities, soldiers with instant reaction times and so on.

It does really well to show that generalists can be great at a lot of things, but extremely inferior when measured against a single category.
I think this is not correct and perhaps a deliberate downplay. The US Govt theoretically and in many cases provably has backdoors in the very fabric of the internet itself, and has tendrils in products of many of the companies and entities responsible for everything from transistor to application.

It is however, in the US govts interest to not present this, so as not to encourage people away from US tech.
I'm the opposite.

As a user I'm not realistically going to audit every new line of code in a piece of software with every update (if I even can) and I do not at all like the current model where we have to trust software creators blindly. It's the reason anti-virus/malware software is necessary on Windows.

As a developer I would much rather that users don't have to trust us blindly, "this app only needs an internet connection and access to this one directory" would be a far easier sell than the current scenario.

Popups, in the Windows UAC sense, yes, those are utter shit and train users to automatically give permission. Giving specific permissions once, more like Android, is much better.
They do need to to test it in space or in a rocket taking off/landing. Otherwise they're just running unit tests.

Seeing some of the comment here, you could make a conspiracy theory that NVidia/MS/OAI used their generative algorithm to write comment defending them on HN :p .

All jokes aside, I know that antitrust is not just about monopoly, but if we just focus on this part, it really does not matter if one company became a monopoly fair and square by just being better/smarter/luckier than everyone else, you still probably don't want it to be a monopoly. And making sure it still has competitor is usually beneficial in the long run.
A monopoly might act "fair" for a long time (although it would be hard to know since you won't have anything to compare them with), but their power allow them to turn against the consumer whenever they want with little to no consequence.
As an example, you can't really complain about an inquiry against NVidia, and then complain about their pricing and/or how hard it is to get some of their card (especially the one meant for training) because they don't care about you if you don't have a good relationship with them (and a lot of $$).

All in all, pretty sure this inquiry will lead nowhere, or just a slap on the wrist, as is usually the case. It is just a signal to those company to be careful and to avoid using their dominant position on one market to push themselves unfairly in another.

I have written what I believe is a boring and featureless static site generator.

I use markdown to write my blog posts, sprinkled with a few comments acting as properties for later use. Those blog posts I push to a git repo. And then I have this generator make a static site from that repo. The generated content I push to a host myself, there is no publishing in the generator.

it's a misnomer, a bit.

fTPM is a firmware-based TPM implemented, usually, by coprocessor (or trustzone style enclave) inside the CPU, yes. It's not related to what TPM standard it implements

You can also have external TPM 2.0 compliant devices (commonly referred to as dTPM, probably brought the naming from iGPU/dGPU), and in fact many options offered for making desktops fully compliant with windows 11 (which requires TPM 2.0) involve a dedicated TPM 2.0 chip.

Ultimately, TPM standard does not care where the chip is, it just provides mechanisms for their use, which do include encrypted tamper protected interface... if one wants to use it.

I think the disconnect is that you seem to consider religious texts as a dry statements of fact. That doesn't make any sense, they're clearly not that.

Would you say the same about great works of fiction, or old fairy tales that for some reason keep grabbing our attention and we repeat them for generations? That they're just falsehoods because duh, frogs obviously can't talk? Or can they have some deeper meaning? Stating facts is not the only way to describe the world.
The nsa doesn’t need recall to gather signals. They can gather higher fidelity data directly as text, network traffic.
