The Vivante family of 3D GPUs are available as IP cores, developed by the same named company[1].

Vivante GPUs are used in some ARM SoCs like the NXP i.MX6 and i.MX8.

Etnaviv is the name of the reverse engineered FLOSS Mesa driver. It's support for OpenGL/ES features is sadly lagging quite a bit behind[2].

This article discusses shader compilation and ISA documentation in the Mesa driver using auto-generated code from a high-level, formal specification of the instruction set (in XML), rather than a tons of hand-written C code. A merge request for auto-generated ISA documentation is currently pending [3].

>the big money judgment could cause broadband providers to disconnect people from the Internet based only on accusations of copyright infringement.

This is exactly how it should be.

The real answer is for all ISP's to get together and completely disconnect anyone who files a copyright infringement lawsuit.

>"It is well-established law that if a party materially assists someone it knows is engaging in copyright infringement, that party is fully liable for the infringement as if it had infringed directly," the lawsuit said.

Obviously this is the heart of the problem and needs to change drastically.

Maybe if each ISP puts up a couple billion in advance (instead of waiting to be sued for it), they could build an unstoppable legal fund and lobbyist campaign that will bring the Congress around to neutralizing this kind of trolling permanently.

Or now with the recent Supreme Court decision questioning the validity of many regulatory bodies' rulemaking, at least determine the new current legal validity of any related copyright regulations that were not explicitly enumerated by Congress to begin with.
That's exactly the point. It's what they do do. If you take 2nd hand jewelry to a jeweler you get about 10 cents on the dollar.

Some gets resold as is (there's a (limited) market for vintage jewelry) but most is reworked. And of course that reworking takes significant time and skill.

On the contrary, I don’t want to sound defeatist. We’ll figure this out sooner or later, and it’s actually quite exciting, after all, we didn’t just come from a little pond! The discovery of DNA, RNA, and many other cellular mechanisms has greatly improved our understanding of how life works. This knowledge helps us formulate theories about the origin of life. However, as of today, no one has, for example, taken a Miller-Urey like experiment and spontaneously generated DNA.
Hey I’m a browser extension developer so I can answer this! I’ve built and sold (a) browser extension (by accident), and I make them in my spare time.

For monetisation, free tier + premium tier with extra/killer features is the main way to do this.

How do you protect your work? You can’t. Well, it’s hazy. Browser extension code is easy to exfiltrate. Unless a portion of the code is server side or a database, which you can protect. Don’t bother with a lawyer, you can’t afford to charge the copycats.

So how can you make money? Be first; Market better than the copycats; Be trustworthy; Do freemium to grow your user base.

Most importantly, how do you know this will be useful to people? Have you done market research? Talked to users?
That does not match my experience. I've been working with Python for a year or so and the packaging problems come up every now and then still.

> That growth for _gold_ of all things (up 71% in the last 5 years) is crazy to me.

For comparison: S&P500 grew about the same during that period (more than 100% from Jan 2019, about 70 from Dec 2019), so the higher price of gold did not outperform the growth of the general (financial) economy.
Maybe it depends who you want to benefit with your regulation - the patient or the provider? Because I'd argue providers seem to make good money within the US regulation.

The fact that it was partially government funded doesn’t mean that the drug companies didn’t have to put it in a significant % of their own money. Of course it varies but it’s a bit like saying that e.g. Tesla is/was government funded (well kind of but not really)

Also, I'm 100% sure that advertisers won't stop fingerprinting even when they have this, because it every little tidbit of info they can get will be worth it for them. It's not a gamechanger for either side. I won't let go of my adblocker and they won't let go of their sneaky invasive tactics.
Sure, but the thread here was about the forced NUL-terminator in std::string and the costs associated with that. If you want a NUL-terminator (e.g. for use with a C API) then you have to pay the copy (and in the general case, allocation) cost for substrings no matter how your internal strings look (unless you can munge the original string) and std::string is exactly the right abstraction for you.

But yeah, it would be nice if the kernel and POSIX APIs had better support for pointer+size strings.

I'm not sure what you are going on about here. Around the time Kotlin launched, Java was on version 8 and most of the Android world was still stuck with version 6 and missing out on quite a bit of nice stuff that came with newer versions. The Oracle dispute was specifically about Google's implementation of Java on top of Apache Harmony (developed by IBM orginally) which was an alternative implementation of the Java standard library. Since the dispute was resolved they transitioned to basing their libraries on OpenJDK and these days are a bit more up to date.

Anyway, Kotlin came along as that was still in the courts. Google understandably wasn't putting a lot of effort in updating the compiler or the core Java libraries. With Kotlin, developers gained access to a lot of modern language features.

So, not bonkers but well documented history. If you want to try your compose apps on IOS, you can now. It's currently in Alpha release. Zero java libraries running on that platform. All Kotlin multi-platform backed by IOS native.

As for Kotlin getting endorsed by Google. That wasn't management doing anything other than responding to a lot of Android developers enthusiastically adopting Kotlin long before it was even releases properly and getting some good results. App development is super competitive and developers aren't afraid to try out new stuff if it gives them an edge. And Kotlin did exactly that.

Between that and the Oracle dispute, it was a logical move for Google to make it official. In the same way Jetbrains move to push kotlin multiplatform and compose multiplatform originated outside of Google. And is now getting endorsed by Google as well. I guess the compose team and the flutter team are in different parts of the org chart.
I think this is exactly what the author is saying and is angry about. The problem is not the users but facebook not caring and forgeting about them. And because of the network effect the users are trying to get the best out of increasingly worse situation.
You still have to wait for your cache to reload from main memory, or for disk or network I/O, or for processes to be scheduled to run, so while it's likely more efficient than epoll approaches, I doubt there's any really fundamental difference in the performance problems you would find.
Wow, thanks for this and the parent post.

Thanks, makes sense for the free tier use cases. Regarding Proton, it's kinda hard to compete with them since they are a really well established company, but in case of a one man show, someone else could easily copy the product and start pouring some marketing money into it.
Everybody always thinks this about stuff that doesn't work. It turns out it's total bullshit.

There was someone I knew who claimed that dowsing rods worked a similar way. A good practitioner of the dowsing rod was really using the information from his audience and was Hans the Mathematical Horsing his way to water. The audience of course had this information from the subtle way they picked up on cues of water, ways even they didn't recognize until the dowsing rod was in action.

They all think this. Some can even bend spoons.
Erm sorry again to have implied they were intuitive, all I meant was that it was relatively intuitive --maybe i should have said "retrievable in a high-pressure concept-doodling game" --compared to a wall of text..
What do you expect from a company indirectly owned and controlled by Google money?

I can't wait for Ladybird to get good, in a decade realistically, swimming against a massive current of Google pushing its unstandardised nonsense on Chrome, and web developers jumping on the bandwagon, making web standards more and more complex by the day so no one ever is able to catch up.

You can add to the dead internet theory the fact that the Web is now maliciously impossible to recreate and access from scratch if you are unable to compete with the billions Google spend to maintain their hegemony. Heck, even Microsoft found it was more efficient to join Google rather than to try and direct what they laughably call "an open standard." There is more competition to build reusable space rockets than in web browsers.

A sad day, and sadder days await us. Shame of Mozilla, and on the CTO trying to sell this feature as a good thing.
I will begrudgingly admit he has a point here. In a few years I imagine almost all sites will refuse to serve anything without WEI, and the "open" web will be the preserve of a few hobbyists. Annoyingly you'll still need to use a compromised browser (or worse, app) to do anything with your bank, etc.

I'm on a 5+ year old GPU, because I don't trust AMD to offer a compelling GPU that actually works. An RX 7 570 is good enough for the little gaming I do. It mostly acts as an oversized iGPU that has good Linux drivers, but since AMD is not supporting ROCm on this GPU, there is no need to hurry on upgrading to a better GPU or to get my feet wet on running things locally on the GPU like Stable Diffusion, LLMs, etc.

VORs are pretty interesting. At first i thought every plane had a small antenna array on board to check the direction to the VOR.

But the direction is just calculated by the phase shift between an omnidirectional and a directional signal. So it can be implemented very cheaply on every plane.

I also just didn't really get on with mercurial. I think while the main flow was a bit more intuitive for those coming from SVN, the underlying model was quite complex and fussy. While Git has a pretty unintuitive and hard to remember UI, the underlying model is simple enough I can basically just go "I want to manipulate the graph like X" and then figure out which command actually does it (and there is always one available, even if it's not sensibly named). With mercurial the answer usually was "Well, what you should have done was enable this extension (or worse: one of two extensions, each of which has slightly different capabilities) and configure it like so, and then do these steps. What you've got now can't be changed".
> doing something about [the massive web of surveillance] is a primary reason many of us are at Mozilla

> we consider modal consent dialogs to be a user-hostile distraction from better defaults, and do not believe such an experience would have been an improvement here.

You know what's user-hostile? Doing things without the user's knowledge or consent. The new tab page of Firefox after an update often advertises features of the release Mozilla sees important (their VPN offering, Firefox on mobile, etc.). This time the new tab page told me nothing about this change. Communicating it to me was "free" and they still actively refused to do it.

"Doing something" about surveillance starts with transparency but if Mozilla's leadership doesn't see this as important they have no place leading such a company. Mozilla doesn't seem to wrap its head around the fact that their users use Firefox because they don't want the same kind of shady tactics Google or Microsoft keep pulling, they don't want their browser control to be handed over to some guy in a board room who needs a PR team to give a lengthy non-answer to the problem.

I see a lot of words spent on why they came up with this technology but barely a mention about the biggest issue here especially from a company that presents itself as a champion of user rights: they pushed the change in the dead of night and took an actively hostile decision in the users' names by enabling a clearly controversial setting without any warning or communication.

> we should have communicated more on this one

This kind of PR speak for "we actively kept it hidden" is the best way to alienate the users who investigated and chose this browser for a reason.
Hi, one of the founders here, "robustness" is our next step. We are currently training a few models based on cross attention and invariant domain learning that promise to be quite resistant to noising and denoising. The purpose of fingerprint watermarking as we have released it is to act like a signature for validity, some companies already do this but none of them have public products that you can just use. The nest encoder and decoder will use a unique signature for every user. The limitation of Glaze and models like it is that they target specific models/approaches. That being said we are also running experiments on adversarial watermarking that aim to deliver the same image quality as glaze with less computation and more resistance. We want to secure digital identity and copyrights. Watermarking is our initial approach.

If you have telemetry disabled, this feature is also disabled, even though that isn't represented in the UI and looks like it's turned on.

It's not good that it exists and is on by default, but if you have already opted out of telemetry previously, you're opted out of this too.
Same here. MK-52 was my first and indeed I remember Pi exactly at this precision because of it.

Cheers!
AMD shouldn't push on anything. They have the wrong incentives. They should just make sure that software runs on their GPUs and nothing else.

Karol Herbst is working on Rusticl, which is mesa's latest OpenCL implementation and will pave the way for other things such as SYCL.
I'm not so sure about MK-52 though. Seems like this one was a local development, not a 1:1 TI rip off.

To me racism has a pretty simple litmus test - would you treat an individual of another race, but in an otherwise identical background situation differently? If yes, then it's probably racist. If not, then it's probably not. So Tuskegee has some interesting backstory. It was inspired by a similar experiment that was carried out in Norway that followed the progression of untreated syphilis in thousands of people over decades. [1]

That study provided extensive data and information on the progression of syphilis, but at the time it was believed that syphilis affected different races in different ways. And black Americans had (and still have) infection rates dramatically higher than other major groups. So this meant that studying this exact group could not only be overall most impactful on a population basis, but was also the least well understood group (as the Norwegian study presumably lacked much of anybody of African ancestry) and so the most most likely to yield novel/informative science.

So if these individuals had otherwise been just another subgroup of whites (but one still had reason to think syphilis might affect them differently than e.g. Norwegians), would we still have carried out this experiment? It's impossible to say for certain, but I think the answer is probably yes. Not only was such experimentation already happening across the globe, including in relatively homogeneous societies, but there have been all sorts of other US government driven experiments on the population where white groups were just as readily experimented on like MKUltra [2], Operation Sea Spray [3], and so on endlessly.
