Do silicon vendors give internal teams room for innovation experiments, beyond competition for markets defined by Apple supply chains? Even if there's no innovation on use cases, how about extending some products sideways, e.g. x86+FPGA version of Zynq, https://www.amd.com/en/products/adaptive-socs-and-fpgas/soc/...

> AMD Zynq 7000 SoC family integrates the software programmability of an Arm-based processor with the hardware programmability of an FPGA, enabling key analytics and hardware acceleration while integrating CPU, DSP, ASSP, and mixed signal functionality on a single device.

There are small manufacturers [1][2] bending AMD "mobile" SoCs into a plethora of form factors. Now that we have OSS FPGA toolchains (LiteX) and modular PC enclosures (Framework), AMD can offer flexible SoCs for experiments that unlock new markets that can grow in volume, instead of me-too chasing Apple/Qualcomm.

If you have code that is tuned so critically on LMUL then you can always determine the correct LMUL value at program startup, for the hardware you find yourself running on, whether by looking at the CPU model or running a few test cases or whatever.

Unlike with choosing between SSE, AVX, AVX512 etc, with RVV you don't have to duplicate your code to do so.
Or maybe they're just pattern matching on the very particular sentence structure you've chosen. This isn't a convincing example at all
It has functions which replace macros. One would use it instead of latex because it is immeasurably faster and more sane.
The glaring question is how and why it was rolled out everywhere all at once?

Many corporations have pretty strict rules on system update scheduling so as to ensure business continuity in case of situations like this but all of those were completely circumvented and we had fully synchronised global failure. It really does not seem like business as usual situation.
Love love love the digging into & applicationization of snapshots.

This somewhat abuts a similar effort I want to get back to, where I was using watchman to look for changes & commit them to got automatically. Git has great tools for viewing changes over time.

But there's something elegant as heck about having the filesystem directly tracking changes. It'd be neat to see a hybrid, maybe like build a snapshot-sequence to git repo converter.
I am curious what the difference is supposed to be between "XNU's Not UNIX!" and "MacOS (Arm64)".
To get more immigrants.
So what you're saying is you know it's true, but there isn't any evidence?

The fact that the US has a bad track record on enforcing immigration law isn't proof of a "wink wink" policy, especially if you considering huge proportion of Congress doesn't want immigration laws enforced.
> Also I believe it is defined to compare equal to zero in the standard, but don't quote me on that.

That's true for the literal constant 0. For 0 in a variable it is not necessarily true. Basically when a literal 0 is assigned to a pointer or compared to a pointer the compiler takes that 0 to mean whatever bit pattern represents the null pointer on the target system.
The US embargo includes NATO members. I don’t have the source handy at the moment but it’s clear that any current trade partners with the US would be violating the embargo if they attempt read with Cuba.
If you only allow users to kick their teammates for suspected cheating, they will have little incentive to do so.

If you allow users to kick opponents for cheating, they will have an incentive to kick legitimate players who are playing well.

You cannot have a global competitive ladder if the ladder is split into a ton of different admin-run servers. overwatch had a version of this problem where people would queue into the Australia region during low traffic times to boost their rank.
you would think that...
Even the about section on Github is "A C compiler written in Zig". This goes against the guideline of Editorialise the headline.
That's not true. The best scholars can do is figure out the lens the past sources were using, given the historical record about the time period. Take for example contemporary scholarship and the historical Jesus. It's now understood Jesus was a 2nd Temple apocalyptic Jew. Something nobody is today, since 2nd Temple Judaism and it's sects were replaced by Rabbinic Judaism, and Christianity went in it's own direction.
> The truth may be mundane but a hack is as reasonable a theory as “oops we pushed boot loop code to world+dog”.

No it's not. There are many signs that point to this being a mistake. There are very few that point to it being a hack. You can't just go "oh it being a hack is one of the options therefore it is also something worth considering".
I switched back and forth between Astro and Hugo.

I ended up staying with Hugo because I post loads of photos and image optimisation, or responsive images, was much easier to implement in Hugo.

I heard Astro now has better image processing, so I might give it another try as migrating templates and posts between Hugo and Astro was actually pretty easy.
Really the underlying problem here is that their software is loading external data into their kernel driver and not correctly sanitising their inputs
Yeah personally I'm completely uninterested in skilled immigration.

I think the only determining factor is if you demonstrate a commitment to American values.

We do not need highly skilled authoritarians. I'd rather get the freedom loving farm worker from Mexico.

I'm a Republican if that matters. I have met enough highly skilled immigrants in silicon valley to know that many hold American values in contempt.

My own family migrated here so this is not xenophobia. Many of my own ethnic background actively misunderstand and misconstrue American values and should never be allowed to work here much less given citizenship.

I have much more in common with the Hispanic farm worker and would prefer to provide a path by which they can come legally through a vetting process which also prevents gang members from flowing in.

Also we obviously need a wall on the southern border. I feel like anyone who's been to the border will come to this conclusion if they're being honest with themselves.
I am pretty sure that most of the language design is done by Andrei Alexandrescu now.
Well yeah its still not going all out even if they are using what they have. Russia going all out produces like 1500 t34 a month, 3000 PPSH a day. Like I have been trying to mention, they aren’t in total war mode. People are still working for domestic companies doing normal work. They aren’t being conscripted to tank factories. If they were it would be a different story that’s for sure.
I run a Wordpress instance on my home server. An extract job regularly exports a static version of the site. I host it on a DO droplet with a bunch of other static websites.
FireWire is also still used to dump out kernel debug.
American values are... Pretty much static. We've been very anti government for a very long time. Left, right, center... Everyone solidly agrees they need less governance

Leftists will scream about civil rights.

Right wingers will tut tut about high taxes.

Centrists will complain about both.

But the message is clear... Less government. More individual autonomy
Sure, it's certainly possible.

Though, I prefer to give people benefit of doubt for this type of thing. IMO, the level of incompetence to parse a binary file before checking the signature is significantly higher (or at least different) than simply pushing out a bad update (even if the latter produces a much more spectacular result).

Besides, we don't need to speculate.
We have the driver. We have the signature files [1]. Because of the publicity, I bet thousands of people are throwing it into Binary RE tools right now, and if they are doing something as stupid as parsing a binary file before checking it's signature (or not checking a signature at all), I'm sure we will hear about it.

We can't see how it was signed because that's happening on Cloudstrike's infrastructure, but checking the signature verification code is trivial.

America has an extremely low violence rate.

If you remove a handful of neighborhoods with particularly bad problems, Americas violent crime rate is on par that of Europe. Given the number of guns in those safe areas, if would seem Americans are made of some good stuff.
all x/twitter links have been login-walled for me for quite some time now, probably since around the time Elon took over, so I just stopped clicking any links or visiting the site entirely... since I literally can't if I wanted to anyways (I refuse to make an account and nitter stopped working).
The arguments in favor of immigration are usually economical, but the resultant demographic change is a major force of disruption in our societies and the cause of many current social problems. My home state of California is an radically different place now than when I grew up only a few decades ago because of demographic change caused by immigration.

The question needs to be asked "How much do you want your nation to change?" in exchange for the alleged economic benefits. Blaming the social problems caused by immigration on citizens because of "xenophobia" when they never wanted mass immigration in the first place is the height of arrogance. The pro-immigration people want the economic benefits of immigration while shifting the blame for the inevitable social problems on the poor citizens who are often victims of these social problems. It's sick.
That is mixing the chip with the Product's target TDP. If AMD could beat M3/M4, it would scale up to a higher TDP range aka "faster than the air" product.

Unfortunately AMD is still quite a bit off in terms IPC.

Don't you think it makes more sense to look at Trump's 2024 platform?

The only statement on legal immigration: "Republicans will prioritize Merit-based immigration, ensuring those admitted to our Country contribute positively to our
Society and Economy, and never become a drain on Public Resources."
The interesting thing is that it was only the last mile of the payment processing that has failed whereas the core payment processing (payment networks) and intermediate layers (acquirers and mobile wallet infrastructure) have held up.

Reports about failing Apple/Google Pay actually pertained to the POS terminals the payment terminals are connected to, and not the payment infrastructure itself.

Another interesting takeaway is that we used to have an extra layer of redundancy available at the last mile of the payment processing: slip machines. They were a workaround and a fallback for exactly this kind of problem where the payment could not be processed electronically, a card payment slip would be taken, and the payment would be later processed manually.

However, with the uptake and the scale of electronic payments, card payment slips are no longer a thing mostly due to fraud related issues, plus the inconvenience of having to keep such a large contraption under the till. Even where still available, it may no longer be possible to use it as more and more debit (in particular) and even credit cards do not emboss the card details on the plastic/metal anymore.

I have never said they can beat the west. I only highlight that once upon a time, Russia was producing like 1300 t34s a month. A true centrally planned wartime economy is really something else entirely when its applied to a continental power like Russia or the United States.

Are you sure that is correct? I was under the impression that US government could order companies to turn over data, but that they could not compel them to actually do work. This was the center of the dispute between the government and Apple after the San Bernadino shooting: Apple was within their legal rights to refuse to provide assistance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple%E2%80%93FBI_encryption_d...

The lengths that the NSA and CIA would go to to implant backdoors (interdicting shipments of laptops/phones and doing the work themselves) further suggests that they cannot compel this sort of action.

Rory Sutherland: Perspective is everything (2012) [video]
I lived in Texas for most of my life. Immigrants quite literally fueled the economy of Texas. Most homes in North Texas shift and require foundation leveling or repair every 8-10 years; estimates for this kind of work range from cheap to very expensive and it's done the same way. The difference is immigrants doing the work vs not. There's a certain amount of migratory ag that is supported by immigrants. Harbors are full of immigrant businesses and services being provided. The massive expansion in housing has mostly been facilitated by an immigrant labor force.

I lived under George W Bush, Rick Perry, and Greg Abbott as governors. I can tell you what distinguishes Greg Abbott from the rest of them is that Greg Abbott is an absolute piece of shit. I say that with zero embellishing. When I came home from the military there was this conspiracy theory called Jade Helm rocking Texas that a scheduled military training exercise in Texas was actually an exercise in taking peoples guns. Greg Abbott knew about and authorized the exercise, but stoked fears anyway: https://www.texastribune.org/2018/05/03/hysteria-over-jade-h...

Since then Greg has also employed barbed wire in the Rio Grand so that people crossing would get stuck in it and drown: https://www.axios.com/local/san-antonio/2023/07/22/doj-abbot...

Greg quite literally pried the Houston ISD's autonomy from them despite them completing the state mandate and progressing far better than anyone thought they would in the allotted time. Why? So he could institute a voucher system so that kids can go to private, Christian schools with state money: https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/03/27/real-sto...

The man is a populist of the worst type. He takes an already bad situation, dumps fuel on it, calls it a solution, and acts none the wiser when things blow up; when they do inevitably blow up, he always has a patsy to blame. This is all to say, before I'd trust the actions of Greg Abbott and shipping people to new towns you should probably ask yourself, "What political game could Greg be playing?" and that will be closer to the truth than any rationalization you can come up with.

Why should I make an account?
first you need to learn assembly, second you can start by downloading ghidra and directly start decompiling some simple things you use and seeing what they do.
Things can be good for the military establishment and bad for the people. Being able to iterate on military tech in an active conflict is a unique opportunity for military planners and engineers. Just look at the united states military and how much was learned in the last couple decades of war.
Being strongly anti illegal immigration is among their positions, yes, but I think OP is more referring to their position of erecting additional.barriers in the way of legal immigration.

They have discovered it is easier to win political points by making current legal immigrants illegal and deporting them, than addressing what people think of as "illegal immigration". But they get to call it the same thing :-)

AMD already makes Arm SoCs for Xilinx markets.

Nvidia and Mediatek are likely working on Arm laptop SoCs. AMD could follow.
> Covered with burns, the truck driver walked nearly a mile along the freeway before reaching a gas station and getting into a cab.

A gasoline truck, surely going too fast, hit a freeway hazard in Oakland and burnt up the road while, ironically, on its way to deliver gasoline to a service station.

Going fast, as everyone knows, usually saves time, but sometimes can have disastrous side effects.

Should first blame for the crash go to the Caltrans road engineers?
It seems like Trump’s immigration stance has evolved significantly in the seven years since this article was written. A few weeks ago he appeared on the All-in podcast and promoted the idea of giving green cards en masse to foreign students upon graduation. I support the idea even if I don’t support the candidate.
makes sense. not too different from the market for operating systems or enterprise software. both suffer from the same malady.

One possible explanation could be automated testing deployments for definitions updates that don't run the current version of the definition consumer, and the old one they do run is unaffected.

I find it absolutely insane they wouldn't be doing this. At the level their software operates, it's sheer negligence to not sanitize inputs.
Not that I recall.

Microsoft has leaked keys that weren't used for code signing. I've been on the receiving end of this actually, when someone from the Microsoft Active Protections Program accidentally sent me the program's email private key.

Microsoft has been tricked into signing bad code themselves, just like Apple, Google, and everyone else who does centralized review and signing.

Microsoft has had certificates forged, basically, through MD5 collisions. Trail of Bits did a good write-up of this years ago.

But I can't think of a case of Microsoft losing control of a code signing key. What are you referring to?
> strict rules on system update scheduling

which crowdstrike gets to bypass because they claime themselves as an antivirus and malware detection platform - at least, this is what the executives they've wined and dined into the purchase contracts have been told. The update schedule is independently controlled by crowdstrike, rather than by a system admin i believe.
CrowdStrike's reasoning is that an instantaneous global rollout helps them protect against rapidly spreading malware.

However, I doubt they need an instantaneous rollout for every deployment.
Strict tracking in firefox blocks the following:

Social media trackers, Cross-site cookies in all windows, Tracking content in all windows, Cryptominers, Known and suspected fingerprinters.

I wouldn't wanna use a site that relies on any of the above to function anyway.

TPM-JS lets you experiment with a Trusted Platform Module in the browser
I hope nothing I wrote could be considered “pissy.” I thought I was articulating my point well enough but I guess a nerve was struck given how many people pounced to say my opinion is wrong, using throwaways to boot. Opinions are opinions, they are neither right or wrong.
Honestly it shocks me how unaware people are of some of this stuff and I thought I lived under somewhat of a rock.
I don't think Twitter's policy is a great indicator, though in general I agree it's a bad situation with this quasi-monopoly of Chrome-y browsers.
When I was there the painted picture I was taught was different than what I saw.

I am not a dictator in my house. No one would say that either. They would say I do make the rules and have final authority. Can I determine our living conditions? Yes. I try to run a good house and love those under my care. We are communists in practice. Not by name.
stop it before it gets to the children.

which is my snarky way of asking, "exactly which security guarantees does the TPM make and to whom does it make them?" and "does your ad network really need to know how to disable DRM protections?"

> It's still objectively a monoculture, as Amex and MasterCard are pretty rare on global scale, while visa is basically everywhere

I can't think of any part of the world I know of where only Visa cards are accepted in 2024 and not MasterCard. AMEX requires a separate contract agreement for the merchant hence why it is not bundled by default, but all acquirers offer Visa/MasterCard as one package. Visa and Mastercard have been a duopoly for far too long to differentiate between the two at the consumer level, and it just doesn't make any financial sense for a financial institution to miss out on interchange and card fees by accepting only one card type and not the other of the two.
In fairness, Strict Tracking Protection is not a Firefox problem; it is very clearly a Firefox feature. The problem is the sites. X is not really an important site anyway.
