No, the article says he did not report it (I don't know what you mean by "within 24 hours") and that he started writing before they fixed the issue. From the article -

> Fortunately for everyone else, the latest RabbitOS update (v0.8.112) addressed this issue while I was midway through writing this article.

From parent comment -

The second sentence in the post begins with

> Critics unanimously agree that it sucks

And follows up with

It has been like this since 11:30AM ET today for me; extremely disruptive considering I also was doing a reinstall of macOS today and need to log into a lot of services that require password-less email. They should have a warning on their frontend and I really hope to see a postmortem from them on this. Without the postmortem and how they plan to avoid a day-long outage like this in the future, I'm going to start looking for a new provider in the next week.

That's exactly what happened - Turing microarchitecture brought in new[1] "GSP" which is capable enough to run the task. Similar architecture happens AFAIK on Apple M-series where the GPU runs its own instance of RTOS talking with "application OS" over RPC.

[1] Turing GSP is not the first "classical serial CPU" in nvidia chips, it's just first that has enough juice to do the task. Unfortunately without recalling the name of the component it seems impossible to find it again thanks to search results being full of nvidia ARM and GSP pages...
No, it means the blob from the "closed" drivers is moved to run on GSP.
See the excellent

which makes the case that individualism was running out of steam in the U.S. in 1970, but history shows we've stuck in in Nixon's world ever since. The real problem w/ trying to do anything about climate change in 2024 is that consumers are driven nuts that a Big Mac meal costs $12 and any increasing costs on the way to a sustainable economy and politicians don't have the courage or conviction to sell that to voters who feel like they are already at the breaking point.
That'd be hilarious.

Off-topic, but when components are sourced directly from the manufacturer do you have to buy in bulk? I figured you didn't just go on Mouser or DigiKey, but I would think manufacturers don't like dealing in small amounts.

Reading through this thread, you can find where the OP says that the time zones were accounted for.
I really like this product, but I have been on this journey, and will repost a comment i made to a recent thread about replacing your phone with an apple watch.
—

on: One year of using an Apple Watch Ultra as a phone ...

I have done this as well, but with series 4. Some notes:

- Apple Watch receives calls forwarded from your phone which creates a bunch of weird problems: 1) Imagine you’re at a bar and get a phone call. You need to either answer on your watch immediately on speakerphone which means its hard to hear the caller and hard for them to hear you, and your conversation is not private. Or, dismiss the call, go outside, put your airpods in, hope they connect, call back, hope they answer, and hope the traffic isnt too bad around you because airpods do not have best mics. 2) connecting airpods really suck, especially at home. You have to have your phone in the charger for it to forward calls to your watch, so when you put on your airpods, they will likely connect to your phone, so you run to your phone, then your airpods “magically” connect to your watch all the while your caller is shouting “hello” into the void. Not ideal for work calls.

- I really hated not having a notes.app

- messages are kinda bad, especially if you’re non-english. And again, if you’re out at a bar and meeting someone, you cant really wait to get home to message back, you have to noodle around on the small screen.

- Your friends will tease you. I didnt mind, but its good to be prepared.

- its a teeny bit annoying wearing a tech-watch. Can get a bit hot etc.

- You need an iphone to update the watch. This really suck because you never really feel you actually let go of your phone, its a hassle updating over bluetooth, installing apps etc. I would LOVE an ipad/mac watch.app.

- You need Siri for many things, like maps.app, searching for certain things etc. It really sucks, like, completely unusable.

- doesnt work well switching from wifi to celluar. So many of the watches problems stems from connectitivty issues between wifi, bluetooth and celluar.
That said, i agree with every upside the OP mentioned. I will go back to watch+airpods again when it can work without an iPhone for calling and software updates. I think one new way to get around it is to setup watch with Family Setup. That way it can get calls without iPhone.

Sure – but I’m willing to bet that we can make butter far more efficiently by cutting out CO2 as a middle man, and e.g. utilizing plant waste more directly in a chemical plant.

To be clear: I’m not saying that all research on CO2 utilization is wasted. I’m all for e.g. research into CO2 as a heat pump refrigerant, or feeding CO2 from composting into green houses.

But the moment you want to use either industrial CO2 or direct air capture for something else then offsetting global warming, then I think it’s a bad idea.

I'd love to share that certainty, it's a rational position but the Republican party are fully in thrall to an ideological commitment to capture or destroy the institutions of state and can't be relied upon to behave rationally. If you think the political right won't commit economic vandalism in the name of this idiological crusade just take a look at my home, Britain, where first austerity, then Brexit, then Liz Truss's free market extremism dumpded our economy in the trash and pushed our public services to the brink.
They want to support the guy who will let them continue to pump and dump crypto, and they're willing to risk the world's most powerful democracy for it.
> Resume fraud is rampant.

So is interview fraud. The remote-interviewee-answers-questions-while-her-face-reflects-windows-popping-up-on-her-screen is tiring at this point. So, I decided to find a way to inform me if someone was being fed answers in a tech interview.

Behold, the low-tech whiteboard. Also known as a piece of paper and a pencil. With the candidates I've run into that do not pass the "smell" test -- where I think they are being fed answers -- I ask them to draw some things, on paper. It's not a true validation, but it gives me something of a clue.

I ask for a simple diagram. Different services in a network, for example. Or a mini-architecture. For their level, I'll ask for something that should be drop-dead easy.

I ask them to show me their drawing.

The responses I've received run the gamut of "I don't know" (after 5 seconds of deliberation) to "I don't understand the purpose" (after 5 minutes of silence) to "I need to shut off my screen for a while" (while refusing to explain why) to "it depends if your cloud is AWS" (not in any way remotely related to the question.) I did have a candidate follow-up with a series of questions about the drawing, which were feasibly legitimate.

This hand-written diagram is not an absolute filter (I've only used it maybe four times), but rather it can confirm some suspicions. I think I can generally gauge honesty from questions/tasks like this. And that's really what I'm after -- are you being honest with me?

It's imperfect, but it has been helpful.
> we need to outlaw...

which is the process by which big entrenched players make it hard for others to compete with them. Consider this quote:

"I believe we need a more active role for governments and regulators."

That's not a quote from Bernie Sanders; that's a quote from Mark Zuckerberg.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but my default assumption is that anything coming out of the political machine will benefit the big entrenched players at others' expense.
That "level of incompetence" is pretty much everywhere in society if you look around. Most of it you don't notice because its not your specialty and things mostly work anyway. Find any specialist in any field and they'll rant at you for hours about how broken X is.

It's surprisingly easy for this to happen even with competent people in charge. Again, fixing it is the job and why you're paid well.
Did you read what I shared?

Yes, that would be better than a free for all. Of course.

The guy I lost had unique physiology that meant he was unable to use a substance most can with far fewer worries.

We have that data point now, and I hope it made it into the literature too.

But getting it was expensive! Cost one good person, and left a family without a father and many other souls, myself included, hurting.

More is needed.

And I am not saying your suggestion is bad. I sure do not see it that way.

It is just inadequate in light of the real problem space, that's all.

And remember, just taking it IS an irreversible thing. For most, that is not a big deal.

For some, it is a HUGE deal and the hard fact is we do not understand who is who in all that.

Peace, live well, play safe.
My favorite paragraph I ever wrote was my acknowledgement intro:

I thought when I finished this dissertation I would feel great. As in large or
capable significantly above the average amount. Completing a project like this
over five years is not something I can attribute to my own abilities. Any
milestone is the sum of the individual decisions that led to it and when I
look at the amount of guidance, encouragement, patience, and downright goading
that it took to make the decisions that led to this point, I feel only gratitude.

I was definitely the black sheep in grad school though.

Yes, too much niacin can make your entire body flush with a burning sensation.
If NASA accepts the delivery of those things and doesn't check for & report defects*, then outside of willful deception on the Infineon's part, it's not the Infineon's problem anymore. It is the responsibility of the buyer to check that the items are as specified. If the buyer neglects that responsibility and signs for the delivery, the seller is off the hook.

German law differentiates between "open deficiencies" and "hidden deficiencies". If you neglected to properly check for an open one, that's on you. You now have no warranty under the law. In case of a hidden one, which will likely only show during large-scale production and can't really be detected beforehand, you have to immediately report it once you discover it, and it is your responsibility to document & prove that you did so without delay.

Under this system it's up to the buyer to decide how much reliability they need. They can forego testing and save money because it's not important to test every single screw when building a garden shed, or they can rigorously test every single thing because they're building a spacecraft.

* It is enough to prove that you did perform checks. If you got unlucky and the random samples just happened to be good, you are still protected. But if you didn't check at all or not sufficiently, you're screwed.

> Asking me to solve an extremely esoteric problem that has zero relevance to my day-to-day

I'm always surprised how useless something is when I don't know it, and suddenly once I do know it, I solve lots of problems with it!

I've heard programmers grumble about how useless calculus is, before I learned calc I used to grumble about that too. After I learned it there were countless problems I unlocked solutions for by applying the thinking I learned in calculus.

I've heard programmers say that you'll never need to implement your own sort for mundane tasks, but, it turns out that after really grokking topological sort I used it countless times for fairly mundane problems like creating plots.

I've heard programmers say that learning the lambda calculus is a waste of time, and nobody uses functional programming. Yet it was people that understood these things that transformed Javascript from a useless browser oddity into one of the most widely used languages. It was seeing that Javascript was essentially a Scheme that unlocked it's true potential.

Over my career it's remarkable how many "esoteric problems" have lead to me solving hard tasks or even shipping entirely new products. If you're only focused on what is required of your day job today you're only going to be at best a mediocre engineer.

It does seem a bit weird to me that SpaceX was never based out of Houston and has such a small presence. They have the NASA base there and scores of private space companies, and the lack of zoning means the housing problem is permanently fixed (at least until someone zones the city). Moving Starlink production to Austin just feels like moving to a worse but slightly cheaper San Francisco.
If they're not paying you, they certainly should be.

Accusations of shilling for a company is not only uncalled for, in my eyes it greatly weakens your argument because I will have to assume that all you have left are ad hominems. Let your arguments stand on their own and leave the insinuations out of it.

Honestly it could be hardly used in practice. The frontier of cooling is:

- living in MODERN, so air-tight, well insulated buildings, designed to get the Sun when needed in winter, but not get it in summer with simple design choices etc;

-living in places where nights are fresh and having p.v. to cool with no energy consumption from grid during the day.

Now the above points are a bit bold but try reasoning why we live where we live. In the past places where circadian thermal delta was/is lower was very good places because it was less hot than now and there was no cheap heating. Similarly living in some places very deep in a valley was nice because floods was a thing anyway, but having clean water was invaluable and homes back then have had much less things who can be damaged by floods. Climate have change but technology, human living is changed much more. In the present world many inhabited parts of the world that back than was nice places, today they are not and others back than not so nice today are nice places.

In the past being many in a single places means:

- being able to defend against enemies

- having access to all professions and services

- having trade and learning opportunities

- be more exposed to illness, BUT being able to get help much easier

now? It means that

- 9/11 alike attacks or simple drone attacks are much more easy and deadly

- you get more dysfunctional services because we are too dense for them in too many place (as an example packages delivery in large condo complex vs single family homes)

- be more exposed to illness, with sometimes even LESS chances of a quick aid

- being mostly limited by nearby activities instead of having plenty of space for build a new one and remote work

Try to weight this, in terms of opportunities, disasters and who win vs who loose.
(I work at Notion, but didn't build the WASM sqlite thingy)

We've implemented this same cache using LocalStorage, IndexedDB, and SQLite. The Android & iOS apps used SQLite for this since 2020 (I built the Android version IIRC), and the desktop app used SQLite running on a native thread since 2021.

We migrated away from LocalStorage for two reasons:

1. LocalStorage is limited to 10mb file size. We also use LocalStorage for a bunch of less-durable state like "is this toggle open?" or "which view in this database was open last", and as our customer workspaces grew, we faced mounting errors as the record cache competed with the rest of the app for that space. We'd have a bunch of slowdowns under contention as we tried to delete keys in LocalStorage synchronously, which manifested as major UI lag. No good!

- LocalStorage loves to lose writes if you're writing from multiple tabs. It's just not a reliable or trustworthy API. For a cache that doesn't matter as much, but we'd still end up with cache misses for power users for pages that should really be totally locally loadable.

I implemented the IndexedDB version in 2019, to replace the earlier LocalStorage option. We used the IDB record cache in the desktop app until we switched over to native SQLite there in 2021 (https://www.notion.so/blog/faster-page-load-navigation) but we never shipped it for browser users for a few reasons:

- Performance and reliability problems with IDB in browsers is hard to debug; in the native app we can trust the version of Chromium we ship and remediate issues using Electron APIs, where as in the browser wild we're at the mercy of the user-agent

- Our testing in the browser showed limited performance improvements across all device categories: faster devices & scenarios were even faster with IndexedDB, but slower devices & scenarios could be even slower.

The reason I'd attribute for the performance challenge is that IndexedDB pays a high tax per row written and row read. It can be fine in terms of total throughput for a cache if you have large, coarse-grained cache rows, like caching all of a document as a single object, and you update the cache infrequently.

Notion's data model is tree/graph of very fine-grained records; each paragraph is its own database row. Our cache on IndexedDB would perform great for smaller workspace sizes and for a single tab, but with multiple tabs and medium-to-large workspaces, we'd hit contention in IndexedDB and get major slowdowns.

We should improve our cache architecture to have another layer of cache that does whole-pages, but need to weigh the improvement/complexity there versus other performance opportunities.
The best recommendation I can give is to pick a standard like JSON:API, and stick to it. Not to make the standard wonks happy, but to save your team from discussions on how to structure a given response. Less bike shedding, essentially.

Virtual threads could be scheduled pre-emptively but currently the scheduler will wait for some kind of thread sleep to schedule another virtual thread. That's just a scheduler implementation detail and the spec is such that a time slice scheduler could be implemented.
No, it’s not necessary to speak X at home if you live in an X speaking country, and it may even be harmful: often children will not pick up language Y if only one parent speaks it and the other parent speaks X.

Bilingual children whose parents don’t speak the language of the community at home may learn languages slightly slower but they quickly catch up once they make friends who only speak X.
Erlang's concurrency story isn't green threads.

It's (with caveats, of course):

- a thread crashing will not bring the system down

- a thread cannot hog all processing time as the system ensures all threads get to run. The entire system is re-entrant and execution of each thread can be suspended to let other threads continue

- all CPU cores can and will be utilized transparently to the user

- you can monitor a thread and if it crashes you're guaranteed to receive info on why and how it crashed

- immutable data structures play a huge part of it, of course, but the above is probably more important

That's why Go's concurrency is not that good, actually. Goroutines are not even half-way there: an error in a goroutine can panic-kill your entire program, there are no good ways to monitor them etc.
